Chick-fil-A Officers Meals to 3 White Cops, Makes Black Officer Pay

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. Just that's right. I love this American. What do we want? We know now.

When do we want it? Also unclear. Why do we want it? Because it was forwarded to us in an email, so it must be true. Right.

God. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. That pretty much sums up whatever happened this weekend. What was that?

The no kings protest, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain, an emphasis on fruity, because I have never seen anything quite like what we saw over the weekend. And I don't know what the protests were like in your area. I was actually in Los Angeles and I did not see a lot of protesters there. As a matter of fact, the images coming out of Boston, you know, MSDNC, now known as PMS Now, they actually used old footage from some other protest years ago and tried to pass it off as a live scene coming out of Boston where you had hundreds of thousands of people. And that simply was not the case.

Good to have you with us today. And I am curious if you had one of these no kings protests in your community, in your city, your neighborhood, I want you to call in and you've got to describe what you saw. But I will say this. Basically, I don't in the in the Memphis area, they they had one and they were expecting five thousand people, five thousand people are expected to converge in Memphis and protest Donald Trump. Oh my God, the media was going nuts.

So then they had the protest, and it was like thousands of people, and then it was several thousand people, and then it was.

Okay, maybe a couple of hundred people. And I think probably about 500 people ended up showing up.

So it was a done. And I don't know what it was like where you were, but we had mostly Elderly people infirm, and they were wandering around. Remember, was it the G8 Summit when Joe Biden started just wandering off into the field of lilacs? Where are we? Where am I?

Who am I? Where were Where if Well Where them are Yeah. Joe Joe. Joe, come back. That's what was happening at these protests.

A lot of these people were so elderly and so infirm, they had no minds, and they were just wandering around with their walkers in strolling. It was just so bad. It was not good.

So you had all the elderly people, you had the the big ob morbidly obese gals with the the nose rings and the magenta hair, and then you had their soy boy gay friends, and that was pretty much it. And it was all white. That's what got me, at least in our area, which we're a majority, minority city, and it was an all-white crowd. And I'm just curious, have you noticed something? About the the libs.

These libtards, they really don't try to shy away from their racism. They sort of wear it on their sleeve. And I say that because these protests against Trump sending in the National Guard and Trump cracking down on crime and all these things they were out there marching about. They never do these protests in the neighborhoods where the crime is actually happening. I mean, if you would go into some of these crime infested neighborhoods around the country, they're like, thank God for President Trump.

Look, I many of them are saying, you know what, mister President, give me a tank and I'll patrol the neighborhood for you. I mean, that's how grateful people are. But But again, the media, they don't want to cover that story. They've got a narrative to play. And they're not going to deviate from that playbook.

But when you go to black Twitter and you go to black TikTok and Instagram, it is a Trump love fest. I think if Trump were to run again, I think he would double whatever vote he got from the minority communities. No doubt no doubt about it.

So, anyway, these people have no idea what they were out there protesting. And again, these are all paid protesters. As a matter of fact, It was in New York City.

Somebody told me about this at the the event I was at in Los Angeles. They said, Starnes, it was a two-hour rally, and as soon as that two hours is up, boom, everybody went home. And you know why? Because they were only getting paid for like two hours of work.

So these are all paid protesters.

So I I want to play some. I want to play some audio here. This is. This is Congressman Tim Burchett. And he just.

Nailed it. said here's Here's who Donald Trump really is. And Trump was getting a little frustrated. You know, by all of this, and I don't blame him because he is no king. And here's the thing, folks, and just hear me on this: if Donald Trump really was a dictator, you would not have been allowed to do what you did over the weekend.

All of you would be in some sort of a gulag right now. That's where you would be. If in fact Donald Trump was a king.

Now, if you want to talk about If you want to talk about what a dictator really looks like, let's have that conversation. Let's talk about the time when there was a Democrat president named Joe Biden who Who shut down our churches, who shut down our businesses, who shut down our schools, who sent in, who sent in the police. SWAT teams to shut down birthday parties in the back yards of people. Who used helicopters to make sure, hovering over neighborhoods to make sure that people were literally not grilling out in their homes? Are you ready for this?

Talk about you want to talk about a king or a dictatorship. Let's talk about the administration that sent police and Coast Guard into the waters to arrest people who were surfing or tanning on the beach. You want to talk about a dictator? Let's have that conversation. Let's talk about the time they used bulldozers to fill in skateboard parks in California so the kids wouldn't be able to skate during the China virus.

So if you want to have that conversation, we can have that conversation. Oh, by the way, you you want to have that conversation? Great, let's have that conversation. Let's talk about the administration that sent in FBI agents to spy on Catholics inside their church houses. Or the administration that sent the FBI to stage pre-dawn guns-drawn raids on the homes of pro-lifers.

Or what about the Obama administration using the Internal Revenue Service to target evangelical Christian ministries and pro-life groups? Barack Hussein Obama, who ordered the Internal Revenue Service to audit Billy Graham, America's pastor, the only time in the history of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Crusade and that association, rather, that the only time they were ever audited was during the Obama administration when they took a side for traditional marriage.

So, if you want to talk about kings and dictatorships, we can have that conversation. I'm happy to have that every freaking day of the week, ladies and gentlemen. But you're going to do this to Donald J. Trump? The man who is literally restoring freedom in America.

Don't come to me with that B S, folks. Not today. Not today. So, Tim Burgett was at an event Sunday in middle Tennessee. And here's what our good buddy from East Tennessee had to say.

Take a listen. Judge for being here. Look, folks. We got a lot of work to do. We've got a great man in the White House right now, and he's not a king.

He understands it. He loves his country. He doesn't have to be there. He literally took a bullet for this great country. If you can imagine it.

Ready? I read my Bible, and I know a lot of people say, well, that's not literally what it means, but literally, the Bible says that God knows if a sparrow falls from the sky or knows how many hairs are on his head. Yeah. You doesn't have to gout too many on you, but you're alright. Tell everybody that's a solar panel for a think tank, all right?

Very good. But if God knows all that, surely He had His hand on our great thread at that time. Look, I've said this many times. Dad gum, I don't want him teaching my daughter's Sunday school class, but I love him at Pennsylvania Avenue, don't y'all? Amen.

And he never sleeps. I don't know how he does it. We were in the Oval Office. We were excited. We were outside the Oval Office.

In the Roosevelt room, and he walked out and he said, Hey, Byron Donaldson was saying, Hey, Byron, you're really doing good in Florida, raising lots of money. Think you're going to win? I said, Thank you, Mr. President. And then he walks by me and he goes, Hey, Tim, I really like seeing you on television.

I'm like, What world am I in? And now. And then I'm back in the Oval Office and he's given us all these challenge coins. And let me tell you. It is the biggest, most beautiful challenge boy.

It looks like a dadgum manhole cover. That thing is a monster. And he leans over to him and he goes, Tim, I really like watching you on CNN. And I said, What's that, Mr. President?

And he said, Because every time you're on, they fire somebody. Oh, that's true. By the way, Dylan, you've seen it. The challenge coin that the president gave me, the thing is like. It's like you can put it on the side of a car.

It is big and beautiful. It's big and beautiful. It's huge. Huge. Oh, by the way, so to that point.

President Trump is catching fire because of a Of a video that he shared. Dylan, have you seen this one? The Top Gun video? Oh, yeah. Where Trump is, Trump's in the fighter jet.

King Trump. It's written on the side. And there he is. He's in the cockpit. He's wearing the crown, and he is flying his jet over.

Midtown Manhattan, and he is dumping a load on the massive crowd of protesters there to the tune of Danger Zone. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I love that he's just now finding AI. It's so funny.

It's like a kid in a candy store. He really is. But here's one of the local headlines. I love this. Trump post AI video dumping brown liquid on No Kings protesters.

Brown liquid, people. Brown liquid. All right, calm yourself. It was not brown liquid, it was poo. It was Pooh, much like your reporting.

Diarrhea of the mouth. God bless President Trump. I know there are so many. There are so many people, even conservatives.

Well, I just don't think that's very presidential. You know what? The guy took a bullet in the head. Shut the hell up. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starred Show. I've got something very exciting for you, the perfect way to celebrate America's 250th birthday next July 4th. It's called Young Washington, a brand new film from Angel Studios and the Wonder Project.

Now, this is not the George Washington on the dollar bill. No, this is the untold story of the young man. At just 20 years old, George Washington faced failure, near-death experiences, and trials that forged the courage and character that would one day win America's independence.

Now, this is not a watered-down history lesson. Young Washington is bold, it's authentic, and it's rooted in truth, showing the values and moral backbone that we need to be reminded of today. Directed by John Irwin, starring Andy Serkis, Ben Kingsley, and Kelsey Grammer. This is a big, cinematic, high-quality film that you're going to be proud to watch with your entire family. But here's the deal: early support determines how many theaters show this film.

So when you join the Angel Guild, you help secure more screens. You lock in two free tickets, gain access to Angel's full streaming library, and get exclusive behind-the-scenes updates from the cast and director.

So let's make Young Washington the number one movie in America this Independence Day. Go to angel.com/slash Todd and join today.

Okay. And that's what? Oh my lord. These Libtards are losing their minds over this King Trump top gun video, which I got to tell you, the president's got game, he's got skills. And the video, and we're going to post this over on our website, but it's basically President Trump.

Being top gun with the helmet, and he's dropping the load of fertilizer over New York City.

Now, I'm getting some text messages here, Dylan, and I may need some clarification. I'm being told: actually, this may not have been poo, but it may have, in fact, been either chocolate milk or pudding. Mm. And who doesn't love pudding? Uh well Well, if it's gonna get dropped on you, I don't know.

What would you like what would you prefer?

Well, you know what? The the blue bir you know, every time I wash my car, I get the birds doing the flyover. Yes.

So I got no problem if, you know, if President Trump is emulating the birds. I I wouldn't mind putting at all. Pudding is tasty. And then do a second, you know, you get the initial round of bombings, and then you come back with the whipped topping. Yeah.

So a second AI video coming soon, probably. Love that. And then cherries, if you really want to just drop the cherry bomb, baby. The full dessert. The cherry bomb.

Uh so look, here's the deal. I was able to think about this and analyze this during the commercial break. And many of you may say, Todd, that wasn't very long. How do you do that? Ladies and gentlemen, do not try this at home.

This is what we do. We are radio professionals, so we're able to think and analyze in real time at speeds unknown to mankind. Going back into the into the Far reaches of my brain. I seem to remember. that there was more fertilizer spewed into our living rooms from Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden than whatever Donald Trump dumped over the good people of Manhattan in the AI video, It's Not Real People.

And I say that because This was literally a question.

Someone Was someone in the press corps? literally asked this question. Just moments ago. That the President of the United States over the weekend released a video of him pooping on the American people. The president uses social media to make the point.

You can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever used social media for that. He he is using uh satire. to make it warm. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents. And that's what these people are doing.

I mean, in one of these photos, I think there's a picture of the president hanging in. in effigy by a noose on one of these um the one on the far end. Um I mean, it it's it's unconscionable. Look, we America is built on the idea of free speech. You have the right to protest, of course.

We jealously guard that. I mean, Chip and I are attorneys, we've defended that right in the courts. But But what they're doing right now is different. I mean, they are trying to incite violence. It's not funny.

You don't mock. A president who has already had two failed assassination attempts on his life, this is not a game. And the idea that communists would be supporting this is unconscionable to us. What I The idea the Speaker of the House had to answer a question about this. Is beyond me.

It's beyond me. By the way, I've been getting some mail, and a lot of you folks are upset over this. You're saying it is not presidential that Donald Trump is overstepping, and he should not be mocking the libtards of America, and he should not be dumping poo or feces or excrement on his political enemies.

Well, Trump told us at the Charlie Kirk remember the Charlie Kirk Memorial, the Presidential Medal of Freedom thing, remember when he said he he just has a hard time. He does not like to forgive his enemies. He would much rather drop poo on them. And that's what he did. But some of you are really upset over this, and you're saying this is beneath the dignity of the White House.

This is just unacceptable. And I'm getting all these, I'm getting some messages from the sweet church ladies. This is just This just breaks my heart. you know, because Donald Trump, you know, he's He's our president. And Todd W WJ D what would Jesus do?

I don't think Jesus would do that. What would Jesus do?

Well, to the church ladies of America, I say this. I think Jesus would have been Donald Trump's wingman. I mean, he did turn over the tables in the temple, so I wouldn't. I mean, it's not that far of a stretch, right? I mean, with modern technology being what it is.

I'm just saying. But good for President Trump. He's really angered a lot of folks, and I love it. They're triggered by this. And you know why?

Because they know that he's making a difference. We're going to get to Charles in just a moment because he's got a first-hand report of what the No Kings rally was like in his area. And I want to hear from you if you went as well. And if you've got a problem with Donald Trump and his sense of humor. I'm you know, my only concern is that Politics is going to be really, really dull when Donald Trump leaves office.

Right?

So enjoy it while you can, America. That's all I can say. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-592. five nine two six.

And just in case and and We're going to get into more of this after this about the hour break here. But if you notice something about these protests over the weekend, and there were a lot of them, no doubt about that. A lot of these protests, not as well attended as they thought. And I will say this: who in the world thought it was a good idea to stage a protest? On game day during the middle of college football season.

Who thought that was a good idea? But I will say this, all of those people were able to protest, Not a single person got shot. Not a single person got beat up by a conservative. They were able to protest. Unfortunately, as conservatives, we don't have that luxury.

Not in this country. Not with those people on the other side. Hang tight. We'll be right back, everybody. MyPillow is excited to announce they're having their biggest three-in-one sale ever with a limited edition product, a back-in-stock special, and a close-out deal you won't find anywhere else.

All right, welcome back. A little bit of President Trump action there. That's what the president was playing on his sortie over. New York City. Apparently, Dylan, some of our listeners are not.

Again, I'm telling you, a lot of people are upset with Trump over this video. Dave from North Carolina, Todd and Trump need to grow up and stop being petty. Junior high childish and making fun of people. need to talk about real issues like child trafficking.

Well, what do you think we've been trying to do, Dave? And you gotta lighten up a little bit, pal. Donald Trump is rescuing thousands and thousands of children. Thanks to we've had 45 rescued in Memphis just in the couple of weeks that the National Guard's been here. That's because of Donald Trump.

Bob says Trump should wear a Superman costume for Halloween. No, no, no. Trump needs to come out. On the balcony, the Truman balcony, with full. Full royal regalia.

That's what he KING DONALD THE FIRST. and Queen Melania. That's what I would do. Let's go to Charles in North Carolina, WSIC.

So, Charles, is this right? You actually went to a No Kings protest. Todd, I did. My inquisitive nature just wouldn't let me stay away. I had to go see him.

I had to go see it for myself. And uh I'll give you the update, but let me just start out by saying. Expecting people. That don't know the difference between a man and a woman. to actually know the difference between a president and a king.

is asking too much. Uh The rally, the protest. Took place about two o'clock. hearing Cornelius on late Norman, And I I was driving down Catawba Avenue, and on both sides of the road, I'm going to say there was about a thousand people. and about a three tenths of a mile area.

And they were holding up their signs, you know, resist fascism, say no to the dictator. You know, they had. Cartoon drawings of prompt.

Some of them were sitting on these like It looked like something you'd put in a swimming pool, you know, like a Donald Duck float or something like that. But I'm going to say that. eighty percent of that crowd tied was over the age of sixty. and probably about the same percentage was female. And uh I saw some very aggressive signs Uh That were actually promoted violence.

I saw a man probably in his seventies in a nice convertible He had a sign in his car that said 8647. And you know what that means. Uh Another young woman, probably in her 30s. had another sign that said they want seventeen seventy six. Let's give them seventeen ninety three.

And for people that don't know the significance of the year seventeen ninety three, that was the start of the French Revolution when they were guillotining everybody. And then I actually rolled my window down and talked to some of them. I asked them, I said, so, what are y'all out here for? And he said, Well, no kings, no kings. I said, Well, we don't have a king.

He's a dictator. Oh. And then I drove down a little further. I probably rode up and down the street maybe four times. you know, about an hour because it was so crowded uh with traffic.

And I saw a sign that said, you know, protect, save democracy. And so I rolled down the window and I said. Save democracy from what? What are you saving democracy from? She said, Donald Trump.

And I said, Well, Actually, democracy worked pretty well in twenty twenty four. And Donald Trump debated. Kamala Harris and shared his vision. compared of America, you know, with hers. And the American people had a chance to weigh and measure that, and they voted for Donald Trump.

And by the way, how do you, what about the fact that the person who was the Democratic nominee? In 2024. did not receive one single vote from Democratic voters. She was appointed by party leadership. Is that not more authoritarian and dictatorial?

that Donald Trump receiving 77 million votes. And Tired, all they would do, rather than try to engage you in debate. They just waved at you and said, Have a nice day, and that was it. No, they don't because they have no argument, and many of them have no idea why they are even out there, Charles. This is all for a narrative for the media, and they want people to think that there are these massive protests against Trump when, in fact, An overwhelming number of people in this country actually love what Trump is doing, and most of us were actually watching college football on Saturday.

Well, and that's what I was doing. That's exactly what I was doing, Todd. But, you know, I drove down there just to see if I would recognize anybody, and I saw one woman that I knew, but everybody else. And I've lived here for over twenty years. I did not recognize one face.

So, I don't know if they were coming in from the outside, or maybe these are just people that. just like during COVID, just stayed in their houses and never got out. I mean, I don't know. But Uh it turned out uh I drove away from that protest just thinking. That We are so far apart from the left.

And I just Don't know if that gap is bridgeable. I really don't know.

Well, I don't think it is, Charles. And let me say this, and I'll explain this to folks here. The other side, all those people you saw out there this weekend, they went to kill you. They would rather you were dead. This is and I am painting with a broad brush intentionally.

Because no one is condemning the violent rhetoric that was on display at every single one of these protest marches. They want conservatives dead. Period. That's that's and Charles, you cannot compromise with that sort of an argument. You can't even have a debate with that sort of argument because they don't want it a debate.

They either want you to shut up or they're going to shoot you. That's exactly right. Just like that sign that said 86.47, and it wasn't just Donald Trump that they're saying that to. They're saying it to me, they're saying it to you, they're saying. It's all of the MAGA the MAGA base.

But, Todd, these people don't give a damn about democracy. All they care about. Yeah. And if they can't get their outcome, then in their minds, what that means is: hey, democracy failed. And any means we have to use to rescue it and save it, even if it includes violence and murder.

Then that's justified. And that's the message that they're communicating to these people. They don't know what really democracy or fascism is. All right. Charles, got to leave it there, my friend.

I will say this about the protests over the weekend. Those protests were sponsored by the Communist Workers of America.

So there's a reason why they're creating this unrest in the country. And this is going to go on for a very long time because we have had a generation and Charles is right. When you look at all the protests out there, it's mostly overwhelmingly women. and elderly people, but these women have been weaponized. They're feminazis.

And even though we call them Libtards and they're morons, they still are smart enough to know how to go out there and get weapons and target all of us, which is why whatever happened at Palm Beach International Airport yesterday is incredibly disturbing. And of course, that news coming from Fox. where they found what was Believed to be a sniper's nest about 200 yards away from where President Trump gets on board Air Force One. It had a direct line of sight from the tree where this Deer stand was located, or this hunter's stand, as they were calling it. And Air Force One.

Now, we've been looking at a lot of the photos and the topography of that area. And first of all, you're not allowed to hunt. There is no hunting in there.

Some people are saying, well, it's for a bow, it's for bow season.

So maybe you had guys out there with the bows that were shooting. No, no, no, no, no. There's no hunting in that area. Period. I mean, that's you've got a lot of aircraft.

And again, the idea that apparently this has been up for months and the Secret Service just now found it, that in and of itself raises even more questions about President Trump's safety.

So yesterday, If you noticed, when President Trump arrived at Palm Beach International Airport, they actually had him rush up the shorter stairs and get him out of there. Security was incredibly tight yesterday. But this is insane. The reality is There are people that are hunting our president. There are people that are hunting conservatives.

And it's incredibly evil. And that's not going to go away anytime soon. I want you to listen to this woman. They interviewed a woman. At one of these rallies, and she's so clueless.

And in one breath, she's talking about. Oh, I'm just such a a nice, sweet, little innocent Karen, and I just wouldn't hurt a fly. And Charlie Kirk is a monster. He's evil. Take a listen.

We need to get ourselves together and And we might even need to be a little bit meaner. Because the Republicans don't mind being mean. And by mean, what do you mean? Do you mean protesting? Do you mean.

Maybe we have to. I know to stop being so nice. But you seem like a pretty nice lady. I'm a pretty nice lady, but I can be pretty mean too.

Okay, and I have to ask this because people on the other side are going to say that they feel like the Democrat Party has been mean. Recently, with Charlie Kirk being assassinated, they... It's a piece of garbage. Of course we were mean. I am so tired of people saying, oh, but, you know, it's a terrible thing.

No, Hitler is dead. I'm glad Hitler's dead. Evil people have no place in In my world, he was a hateful h human being. It was disgusting the things that he said and did. I have I have you know I don't have time for that.

I'm sorry. I have to point my energy in other directions. Wow, that's what we're dealing with here, people. And that's why you have to be incredibly, incredibly careful, and you always have to watch your six. You know, Dylan, I have to, I forgot to ask you about this, but I'm going to.

You may know, but this has never happened to me, but it happened Friday. I had to rush out of here. I was off to Memphis International Airport to catch the flight to LA. And I got there a little bit early, actually, way early.

So I went over to the Delta Sky Club and piddled around there for a little while. and then decided to walk to the gate. And then I get this alert from my iPhone. telling me that that I'm being tracked. And type that.

I'm like, what is going on here?

So I'm looking around, I'm trying to figure out who in the world at the airport is actually tracking me. That, yeah. I don't know what that is. Did you figure it out? No, I no, and I've I do need to figure this out because it really sort of had me unsettle and I'm googling, trying to find out how did somebody slip, you know, one of those things where they can track you, you know, in a bag or, you know, and I was looking through the bag.

I think the Apple tags. Yes.

You get notifications for those kind of things. That's the thing. Who has I mean, do you have one of those? No, I don't. That's concerning a little bit.

At least not that I know of.

So now I'm thinking, and I'm Googling, and I'm realizing they go sometimes criminals use these to target people. And I'm thinking, geez, so I got back about midnight last night, and I'm in the garage. You know, it was kind of like, you know, deep throat, you know, all the king's men. And I, you know, I hear somebody, a car screech, and I'm turning, and I'm like.

Somebody following me. I don't know what that's all about. But you know what? I hate this, and I hate it because we have to live like this because of these damn leftists out there and these liberal these liberals are unhinged. And you never know when one of them is just going to come off on you, try to run you over, stab you, shoot you or blow you up.

You need security. This is our reality in America. It is sad. And what we need to do, and I'm just going to say this about the Charlie Kirk thing. I'm tired of the administration pussyfooting around here.

We've got to start playing hardball. And by hardball, I mean when this guy is found guilty, Of murdering Charlie Kirk, he needs to be executed, and it needs to be a very public execution and a very painful execution. And it needs to be broadcast on every cable television station in America. every network news station in America. And the American people.

This this generation And there's new survey data out there that shows a shocking number of young liberals believe that violence is mandatory to stop speech that you disagree with. We've got to send a message to that generation that this sort of thing is not tolerated in America. That's not how we do things here in America. But if we You know, if we don't do that, I'm really concerned about the future. And the reason why is that lady you just heard, she didn't look like one of these purple-haired, you know.

I don't know, love childs of Barney the Dinosaur. She actually a regular person that you would run into down at the Country Club or Whole Foods. I'm just saying. All right, got to take a break. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Mm-hmm. All right, coming up a little bit later, I'll tell you about my weekend with Eric Trump. We had just a great time.

And John Voigt popped in. That was a surprise to all of us. And he's just a super great guy. And we'll share some of how all that went down coming up in the next hour. I do want to go to the phones, though.

Crosby, Texas, Quinn is listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Hi, Quinn. What's going on? Oh, nothing but I just want to tell you what you just said a little while ago, and I totally one hundred percent agree with you. We got to be hard ma with thee.

Loan attack. The red bulk. And about the Charlie Curtain, I'm very big fans of him. It breaks my heart when I heard that happen. I watched that program and it just.

They killed me. But The guy. The mother jolly curt? He needs to be public. one you extra kills him, I wouldn't mind to do it.

What that uh squat? Get me a gun. I wouldn't mind doing it all. Let me do it. My husband's called me, I'm a sick person.

I said, I'm gonna shoot him the part. It's so painful. Then he wouldn't nobody Forget that. It's make me sick. It it makes me pill.

It's lipo. We gotta do something about them. And Quinn, just to remind our listeners here, you escaped communism, did you not? Go right.

So when you see what's happening in the streets of America right now, what's your observation? Because I mean, you escaped that, and now to see it here in America. I would never caught million years that I. American turn this way today. Ever This is the most beautiful country.

people country You can do whatever you want. Why do you want to tear it down? If you want to go lift the communists, If you want to turn this American to commit, go. Go to Russia, go to North Korea, go to Vietnam, go. Nobody stop you.

If that way you want to live. This is America, for God's sake. Hey, we work too hard. That will be a You know, Quinn, it goes, it's what is old is new again. And I know that Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, William F.

Buckley Jr., the great really creators, the modern-day founding fathers of the conservative movement, they were fighting the communists back in the 50s and 60s, and they were warning everybody. And here we are again, fighting that battle once again. And the reality is that the communists got control of our schools. And that's the problem. And that's the look: the Soviets, the old Soviets, they knew that to destroy America, it was not going to be a physical war.

It would be a war of the minds, a war of ideologies. And we completely dropped the ball there.

So is it salvageable? Yeah, we're going to have to work our butts off. And let me say this. And Quinn, thank you for that call. And God bless you.

And folks, let me tell you something about Quinn. This woman came here in the 1970s as a refugee. And her family, they are just incredible business people now in Texas, living their American dream. And when we have people on this program that escape communism and they're warning us about what's happening in our nation now as they see the rise of the communist. You better pay very close attention to that.

But look, here's the reality. And Eric Trump said this in his speech over the weekend. Yeah, we love talking about running for the Senate and running for Congress. We need people running on the local level. We're talking about city councils, school boards, mayors.

Those are vitally important if we are going to take back our communities. I mean, it's really that simple. All right, Quinn, thanks for that call. We love our great listeners in Texas and all over. this great nation.

Hour two of the big show coming up next. This is the Tom Stern Show. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's conservative blowtorch. That's us, that's right.

Our love is American. Touch starts. Oh, yeah. Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Ton Sterns Radio Show.

Happy to have you with us today. A lot going on this hour. Uh wow. I was uh You know, going back to President Trump, and there are so many major elections that are popping up. And we're following a good number of them.

Of course, we've got the Virginia gubernatorial race and all the state elections in Virginia and the Commonwealth. And over the weekend, just horrible. Racist, uh racist stuff being Hurled at Winsom Sears. It's just unacceptable what she's having to deal with over in Virginia. Coming from the left, by the way, then you've got New Jersey, and New Jersey is on the cusp of turning red.

So we're following that race, and we're going to be talking to the Republican running there in New York City. It is a complete mess. You've got Zoron Mamdami, who is now being photographed with one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. We're going to get to more of that story in just a little while. And of course, we're also paying very close attention to what's happening in the state of California, where Steve Hilton is running as a Republican to be the next governor of the state of California.

And it was funny, we're going to bring Steve in in just a second, but I was in Anaheim over the weekend anchoring or emceeing rather the Pacific Justice Institute celebration of justice, their big gala. Eric Trump was there. John Voigt was there. And so we're sitting in the green room, and the three of us are just having this conversation about California politics. And John Voigt says that Steve Hilton really, really does have a very good shot at winning.

The race. And I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, say hello to our good friend Steve Hilton. Steve, I hope that makes you happy. John Voigt is a huge fan of yours. Oh, yes.

No, I love John. He's great. He actually Is someone I've met over the years, and it's wonderful to hear him say that. I greatly appreciate that. It's wonderful to have his support.

And it's looking good, honestly, Todd. We're doing well. It's early. I'm the opposite of complacent. I never take anything for granted.

And the election, the primary is in June, the general election next November. Right now. I'm clearly the leading Republican in the polls. In one of the polls, I was actually leading all the Democrats as well.

Now, one of those the the person right behind me was Katie Porter.

So I don't know how long that'll last. But here's the point. It's just So clear and increasingly clear to so many people that we need change in California. because we have the worst results on absolutely everything that matters. unbelievably.

It's an amazing thing to pull off actually the feet But Gavin Newsome and the Democrats have pulled off. after 15 years of one party rule. At the same time, to have the highest unemployment rate in America. The highest poverty rate in America, the highest taxes in America, the highest cost for gas. Electricity.

Housing. Rent. the worst business climate in America, according to Chief Executive magazine. Voted on every year in an annual survey, the worst results for third-grade reading. In America.

The worst Homelessness. By far, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. everything that matters, the worst in the nation.

As I often say, well I see people at my events and they wear MAGA hats.

So I think we need for Gavin Newsome. to invent a mugger hat, most useless governor in America. Oh, well, there's no doubt about that.

Now, just to be clear, Steve Hilton, because you know how the media is, they love digging for dirt. You've never told any of your assistants to get the blank out of your shot, right? Is that true? Never at Fox. Never at Fox, although I have I've got I've got to say, I've had great fun doing that at my events all week.

Including I mean we were we were in I was also in um Orange County at the weekend. doing an event uh with a big radio station, their annual kind of uh together with the listeners and I had great fun with the host saying Exactly that once I got on the stage. Oh my gosh. She's what what a what a terrible candidate. And she's she's the best the Democrats have.

Well, we are hearing That they are trying to draft another one.

Now, here's another, but here's another beauty, as the president would say, that they're trying to get into the race. you wait for it the Person that they're wanting to run to save the day in California, this is Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat machine, are lining up. Alex Padilla. If you remember him, he's the one. He's a US senator who made a fool of himself barging into Christy Noam's.

press conference in that ridiculous stunt. In Los Angeles, he's the one that they that they're trying to bring in to replace Katie Porter. It's really just unbelievable. And I'm looking at some of the polls, the new Zogby poll. They've got you leading the Republicans and nearly all the Democrats in the race.

And your numbers are strong, Steve. And it's just going to be: will the Republican Party get it together? Will they coalesce behind some candidates here?

So we don't end up shooting ourselves in the foot, which is about, that's about to happen in New York City. It's a very important point because in California, We have a top two system, which is ridiculous, but there you are. There's many things ridiculous about California that I'm going to be wanting to change when I'm governor.

However, as the president, we've got the system we have, and we have to win. using the current system. We can't change it until we went. And so the top two system means that in the primary in June, Voters will have all the candidates on the ballot all together. and they just vote for their favorite choice.

And the top two go to the Go through to the general election, regardless of party. And in fact, in many races in California, And this is why they've done it. We've ended up with two Democrats in the final, so voters don't even get a choice, even though regularly for the last four last twenty years, since the last time a Republican won statewide. If you actually look beneath the hood, The the average the average share of the vote for Republican statewide candidates. nearly 42%.

So this is a much more Republican state than people think. And yet in many of these races, Republican voters don't even have a Republican. candidate to choose from. They have one of two Democrats. And so it's very important we get a Republican in the top two.

This system is is really hard. Yeah. to work with because it all depends on the math, you know, how many other candidates are there are and so on. And so getting behind one candidate is very important. And actually That's why And actually, some, you know, we all feel that responsibility, honestly.

There's a couple of us running. We talk to each other, we know each other, it's a race, we're competitive. I'm leading the field right now, but we buy the top, you know, in good time for the primary. going to be very important to get behind one candidate, and of course, my plan is for that to be me.

Well, I think what's interesting about this Zogby poll is, and I appreciate them doing this, because they pulled out the issues and they wanted to see what this horse race would look like after the messaging. And you are winning that race right now. That's 29% compared to Katie Porter at 23%. Of course, the big issue is the undecideds, which still are pretty high, 23% voters undecided. That tells me that you've got to get the message out there.

And it's a big challenge because it's such a big state. Exactly. That's the point. Look, it's that's why I say it's early in one sense. Look, for anyone who's run a real race or been involved in one, particularly in a state as big as California, the biggest in the nation, the fourth biggest economy in the world, thirteen different media markets It's just a big, big state.

It's the sec it's the race that's second only to running for president. in its scale. Um and so It is In one sense earl not early, because you got to build a machine and you've got to build an operation. and a volunteer network, all those things from scratch. It's a startup like every campaign is.

Um But also A lot of normal people, as it were, who are not following politics closely, it's very early. They're not paying attention. We've got this ridiculous. Um, gerrymandering ballot initiative Gavin used some scheme to rig the elections. that's taking up a lot of the oxygen right now, Prop fifty, that's being voted on.

as we speak and the election is in November. Um But we do and so there are a large number of don't knows that the governance race. That's exactly right. But that's my job. get out there and tell the story of change.

And my m my message is very simple and very practical. And it's focused on the things that are just making life so hard for Regular working people. This is what's happened now after 15 years of one-party rule. We've ended up with this totally corrupt. system.

which has meant that the rich get richer, but Regular working people get completely screwed in California, and that's why I'm running to change because we've got to, and it's simple things. Instead of what we have now, which is five dollar gas heading even higher, because of their insane climate agenda. we're going to get rid of all that. we can have three dollar cash. cut your electric bills.

Instead of having this insane obsession with wind and solar power, we're going to use the abundant natural gas that we have here in California to generate electricity, then we can bring cost down. Instead of the situation where we just can't build anything anymore in California, The unions and the environmental laws and everything. And we're going to be able to build the single-family homes. that people want. We're going to end the war on single family owned.

Instead of this nonsense where they want everyone to live in apartments, with no parking, everyone take transit. Um no, that's not how Californians want to live. And so we can open that all up so we can restore the California dream of a home of your own that you can afford. These are the simple, practical things. That resonates with people way beyond just the Republican voter.

This is what everyone wants, just normal people. in California, but these politicians, they're so used to being in control in California. That's why that interview with Katie Porter was so revealing. arrogance and the entitlement there. This is what you get after fifteen years of one party rule.

They don't They think they'll be there forever. There's no consequences to their actions. They can do whatever they want. And they'll still be re-elected.

Well, they're going to get a shot next year. Because I'm very confident I can win. Steve Hilton joining us, ladies and gentlemen, running for governor of California, leading in the polls. I don't know if you caught Arnold Schwarzenegger. He sat down with Bill Maher on Friday night, and he just ripped Gavin Newscomb, a new one on the Prop 50 measure, calling it a big scam.

And it's got to be good to get Schwarzenegger any chance. Have y'all had any conversations thus far? Of course, Schwarzenegger served what is the 38th governor of California. Yes.

I know Arnold. I've known him for years. I know his team. We've talked about this race. I think it's going to be early for him.

to make any kind of endorsement. But I I you know, I know them very well. I think we'll be fine. But I think that actually we've just got to focus on Right now, everyone in California, we've got to focus on defeating this ballot initiative. The other really important thing, and I was out with some uh some friends and colleagues over the weekend campaigning on this, it's not just no on Prop fifty.

It's actually there's a very important thing going on right now, which is we're collecting signatures for a ballot initiative. to put voter ID on the ballot next year. And that's very important because if we get voter ID on the ballot next November in California, that's going to help bring out the Republican voters we need. It's a real driver of turnout. And of course, in the midterm election, turnout is what it's all about.

And so No one fifty right now. Get voter ID on the ballot. Go out there with a strong message. The other thing I just want to say. is Gavin Newton.

I mean, it's gone beyond a joke. This story about him closing down the I-5 freeway this weekend, causing actual Pain and suffering. Yeah. to Californians. purely a partisan political stunt.

Try and blame Trump for the chaos. This is. Gavin you sent. Bridgegate. And I think he's gone too far.

Up till now he's been, you know, he's As I've said, we don't really have a governor in California right now. We have a social media manager. running around. Posting dopey things on Instagram. on the internet, but now he's taken it to a level where he's hurting Californians.

I've spoken to people. This weekend, that weddings were disrupted. It's a Saturday. They closed the only main freeway between. Orange County and San Diego.

Weddings were disrupted. Parents couldn't watch their kids in football, college football businesses disrupted, losing thousands of dollars. It's it's gone too far and purely to try and blame Trump for chaos. It was outrageous. And I've said Gavin Newsom should, if he had any decency, he would resign.

He would resign right now because he is obviously not interested. in being governor of California. His only focus is running for president. That is unacceptable. Steve, we got to leave it there, my friend.

Where can people go if they want to get more information about the campaign, being a part of it? Thank you so much. Steve Hilton for governor.com. F-O-R. Steve Hilton for Governor.com.

For governor.com. All right, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Steve Hilton. And Steve, we'll get you back on. A great workout there.

Good luck to you out on the campaign trail. Great to be with you. Thank you so much, Tom Chair. All right. Good guy right there, Steve Hilton.

Steve Hilton for Governor.com. He is leading in the polls, but that big number, the undecided, is 23%. And that's where it's going to be tough. But the good news here, we If the Republican Party of California will get behind Steve, And give him the juice he needs. And what does he need?

He's got to have his ability. They're going to have to be advertising campaigns. They're going to be billboards, door-to-door, the whole nine yards. And if they can do that, there's a very good chance that Steve Hilton could be the next governor of California. And it could be the first step in eliminating one-party rule in that state.

And it's a beautiful, every time I go to California, it's such a beautiful place, and the weather is amazing, and the people are kind. But man, Are they oppressed right now? All right, got to take a break. 901-260-5926. Again, that number, 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right. this crazy story. out of Augusta, Georgia. We're a Chick-fil-A.

I want to set the scene for you. Four police officers walked into a Chick-fil-A in Augusta, Georgia.

Sounds like the start of a joke, right? Three of them white guys, and one of them black. All three in uniform. And Chick-fil-A there in Augusta has a policy. If you're on duty as a police officer, you eat free.

So, sure enough, the cashier gave the three white police officers a free complimentary meal, and they made the black tooth pay for it. I'm not kidding. And it wasn't the black guy who raised a stink here, it was his fellow white officers who said, This is not right. Take a listen. I was kind of humiliated and embarrassed, you know, at the whole situation because it seemed like it was a.

Seemed like it was a racial issue to me. Clover Police Sergeant Tracy Reed had that experience at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Augusta, Georgia, while on a work trip a few weeks ago. He and three other CPD officers, all of them white, went into the restaurant for breakfast. We all came into the restaurant together. We rode together, came in the restaurant together, all had the same uniform on, stood in line together.

There was never a time that we were not together while standing in line. They say all three white officers were offered a complimentary meal, which they say is often offered to law enforcement at the popular restaurant chain. But when Sergeant Reed got to the register, he had to pay. He said he had to pay for his meal and uh It infuriated me, and I told him, I said, Do you want me to go say something? And he was like, No, I don't want you to.

I don't want you to cause the scene. But I could tell by the way he looked that, you know, he just looked down at his plate and he looked really embarrassed and humiliated, which really made me mad. Eventually, Reed wrote this letter to Chick-fil-A Corporate demanding the chain retrain employees at the Augusta location and strengthen corporate-wide policies on compliance with civil rights laws. But Reed and the other officers were not satisfied with the response from the Augusta store manager, which included two cards for free meals. They said that it was perceived.

Uh that we were Embarrassed, or that it was a racial incident, which I didn't like because I know it wasn't perceived. It actually happened. He's not the only one to perceived it. We all perceived it that way, and it's not even perception, it's what happened. Yeah, that's not cool at all.

As a matter of fact, And the black officer, you know, he paid for his meal. You know, he didn't make a scene because he's not allowed to, you know, wearing uniform. And he couldn't even ask, hey, how come I don't get my meal free? Because that would be asking for a gratuity, which you cannot do in uniform.

So the white officer said, you know what? We're not eating here, we're not doing this. Uh Chick-fil-A said, oh, this was just a perception problem. and send them two coupons to make things right. Yeah.

Really Chick-fil-A? Come on. You got... You gotta do better. Geez Hollow.

All right. Congressman Tim Burchett, Congressman Self, Dalton Glascock, Tom Gresham from Gun Talk.

All right, let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend. He is the publisher of TriStarDaily.com. That's TriStarDaily.com. Steve Gill.

Steve, hope you're doing good today. Hey, Todd, good to be back. Back with you. You know, it's interesting. There was, I'm just, I noticed things, and it's just, there's something going on when it comes to Republican politics.

I know there's a lot of infighting underway, and I couldn't help but notice there was a big fundraiser in Williamson County over the weekend, and one specific congressman I don't believe I saw there. That would be Andy Ogles. Yeah, and I have not heard the reasoning behind that. One of the things that Williamson County has is a bit of a split. With Yeah.

Jack Johnson, who's the state senator there, who has the support. Of Marsha Blackburn and had the whole lineup of of supporters. you know, really across the state, Denberg's that you mentioned earlier. Uh but Andy Ogold is trying to Thread the needle of not wanting to antagonize. Very humble, who ran against Jack and narrowly lost four years ago.

He's going to run against. again for that state senate seat. And you have What I would say is the the right or the far right That are that are backing. Yeah. And Andy's trying to kind of navigate not wanting to antagonize either side.

uh by not going to that event apparently and i'll have to get the details but I noticed he wasn't there as well. Kustoff was in there.

Well, I also noticed that Congressman David Kostoff was not in the room when President Trump signed the executive order sending the National Guard to his congressional district. You had everybody but the local congressman there. It was just sort of weird. And if I just look was looking at the market. Members of Congress across Tennessee, this uh filed there.

Yeah. reports. Petrov has over two million dollars in the bank.

So I He has nothing to fear other than perhaps fear itself.

So I'm not sure what. What has him occupied to be somewhere else other than that? Since that is the hottest topic in Memphis. Tim Birchin has about $700,000, I think. Uh cash.

on hand. Ogles, his biggest problem is You know, he's facing not only a Republican primary here in Middle Tennessee from Charlie Hatcher, who is the Immediate uh having just resigned. Commissioner of Agriculture. former state veterinarian. Uh he is going to be a very formidable Republican.

Look at that. Opponent to Andy Ogles in the primary. And Andy's only sitting on about $50,000 cash on hand. He's had two extremely. Extremely anemic fundraising quarters back to back.

raising about 50 grand each time, spending about the same amount of money. And then the Democrat who has announced that race, now it's a district that Probably ten or twelve. Trump carried it by 20. But the Democrat has over $750,000 raised already.

So Oakley is in deep trouble in the Republican primary and perhaps in the general as well.

Well, every race council, of course, there are 49 other states that have just as equally compelling congressional races going down. And no doubt, it is going to be a fierce battle. And a lot of these establishment Republicans are getting primaried. And it's going to be important for the Republicans to play smart politics. And, Steve, I know that Rudy Giuliani just came out and endorsed.

Curtis Lewa, who is the Republican running for mayor in New York City. I I just don't see that working. I mean, Sleewa got his butt handed to him the last time he ran for mayor, and I'm just shocked the Republicans weren't able to round up somebody that would be more compelling than Curtis Sleewa. You know what business Somebody in the mold of a of a Trump somebody like that that might Appeal to some of those moderate Democrats. There are still a few that care about their money, care about their communities.

in New York. I I just think that Sleewood doesn't bring any Democrats or moderates or even moderate Republicans to his side. I don't know that there's enough Republicans in New York City to outnumber the dead Democrats who will vote in this election. Hello. I just don't see a path that Slava has.

And his ego is keeping him from dropping out. Look, I'm not a huge fan of Cuomo by any stretch of the imagination. But when you've got the choice. and it is a zero sum game. It is likely either going to be Cuomo or Mondani.

Mondani is a disaster. And I know a lot of Republicans say, oh, that'd be great because that'll help damage the Democrats. It'll destroy New York City. It'll probably do damage to Florida and Tennessee and other places as more New Yorkers will kind of. refugees and flee the city.

But but Sliba has less than a zero chance of winning. Yeah, and as a matter of fact, I'm looking at some of this polling data coming out of CBS News. Where you've got a three-way, pardon me, this is Gotham polling. CBS News is reporting on it. Ma'am, Dami at 43%.

Cuomo twenty eight point nine percent, so twenty nine percent, and sliwa at nineteen point four percent, and you've got literally you have conservative commentators, and I think they do a disservice when they pull this kind of nonsense. But the the headline over at the New York Post is Sliwa within striking distance. Of what? What is he? He's polling last place in a three-man race.

And again, this is a first case. The post-place. They don't have a runoff. If if Mom Donnie gets 44% of the vote. He's the next mayor.

All that sleeve can do Is keep votes from going to Cuomo to perhaps beat Mamdani. And again, nothing to write home about. This is the guy that shut down schools, helped Kill off enough. Senior citizens that actually cost New York Date. an electoral voter few or Yeah.

He's nothing great. But you're looking at a guy who is a communist who's taking pictures next to avowed terrorists. versus Andrew Cuomo. Exactly right. And so here's the deal.

So, what they did, this is the Gotham polling and AARP. And here's what they did: they said, all right, well, let's take Sleewa out of it. And let's see what that race would look like.

Well, it becomes a virtual dead heat. But here's the problem. Is that Andrew Cuomo is so disliked?

So he is he is a he is damaged goods, but damaged goods may be better than having a jihadist communist. in in the mayor's office at Gracie Mansion.

Well then what the This is right at this point. If you were going to leewa today. His people won't immediately flock to being for Cuomo. He may be their second choice, he may be their third choice. They will not move that quickly.

But if he would drop out today, They would have a chance to take a breath. Look at the two candidates that remain. and Mamdani and decide, okay. He's less bad. Than the other guy.

And you have to have a little bit of time. for folks to make that transition. I mean, you and I have been looking at polls and politics for a long time. It It takes a while for somebody to shift from Somebody to somebody else. It happens.

primaries as well. In this case, Saliwa, if he wants to save New York City like he claims to be for, His best interest and the best interest of his city. to keep Mount Donohani from winning at all costs. And his supporters. will mean not only him dropping out.

but also saying, look, hold your nose. Those for For Cuomo, there was a race in Louisiana years ago when Edwin Edwards was running against the Ku Klux Klan guy down there, and there were buttons down in Louisiana. because uh Edwin Edwards was you know was a crook and was taking bribes and everything else. There were buttons that said vote for the crook. It's important.

And that's kind of where you are here. Look for Cuomo, he's a nut, but he'd be our nut.

Well, it's a fair point. And again, if you're if Slee was look, Slee was support, they're not voting for Mamdomi no matter what.

So if anything, those some of those votes would go to Cuomo, I'm not sure that Salewa could bring it to himself to get out there and campaign for the for Cuomo. I really don't. It depends on whether he loves New York.

Well, Johnny will destroy New York. Yeah. And I'm telling you, the guy is dangerous because he's like Barack Obama. And he's, you know, one of these, he's a very charismatic person, and people are not paying attention. And I think one of the big problems with the conservative media is they released all the intel on this guy like day one.

It was like a document dump on day one. And, you know, we've now I see the New York Post is going back and saying, man, Domi is doubling down and wanting to tax, and he does want to do this. He wants to tax white people at a higher rate than minorities in New York City, which You know, Steve will have to go back and look at the Civil Rights Act. I think that may be that that may be racist.

Well, and you're exactly right. You're right, Todd. Talker, charismatic, Ethan-looking guy. Satan doesn't actually have horns and a tail and a red skin. Satan is a smooth talker.

He gets people to do what they would not normally do. That's the evil we have to be aware of. Bad guys, con men, don't come up to you and say, Oh, yeah, I'm evil and I'm a con man. They use slick part. Charisma.

We've seen it in politics. We've seen it in business. And we're about to see it again in New York. We sure are. Wow.

We will be watching that race, Steve Gill. We've got to leave it there. TryStarDaily.com, bookmark the website, ladies and gentlemen. Go check it out. Steve, thank you.

Thanks, Buck Ray. We'll talk again. All right. Yes, no, this is from the New York Post. Zoran Mamdami is doubling down on his plan to jack up property taxes on richer and wider neighborhoods.

He also asserted that billionaires do not have a right to exist. Ma'am Domi is being dubbed by the dubbed by some as the Fidel Castro of New York. He says that he is not driven by race. except his campaign platform explicitly targets white home owners.

So, Mandami is doubling down on all of this.

So, all of you white homeowners, you better get ready because you're about to get smacked around that once this guy is elected. The New York Post headline: the price is white. Very clever there. Very clever. All right, 901-260-5926.

Do you let the jihadist communist. Win the mayor's office to teach New York a lesson? Do you let New York implode? Or do you hold your nose, get behind Cuomo, and try to save the big apple? What do you do here?

I know President Trump is pretty fired up about this. He was asked about it on the flight back from Palm Beach last night. Cut number six, please. Mondami's photo with the 93 World Trade Center Bombing. Yeah, that's where it's a shame.

Look, the Mondami thing is a. It's a disaster waiting to happen. We can't have a communist in charge of Uh a great supposedly free enterprise, kind of a representative city.

So so I I think it's If you have a communist mayor, I think it's going to be very tough for him and for the city. Do you think Shep loses something like this so close to the election? Oh, I think it's a shame that that particular man is endorsing him and very friendly with him. You can see there's a relationship. He blew up the World Trade Center, right?

And Mr. President Secretary. Didn't the man you're talking about blow up the World Trade Center? And he's friends with Mandami? Yeah, he is friends with them and appeared in photos.

Arm in arm smiling. And uh it's it's pretty despicable. But this guy was one of the unindicted co conspirators. Also, a terrorist apologist. You know, back in 93, and they believed that the 93 bombing of the World Trade Center, they meant for that.

To actually bring down the building.

So they blew it up. They had the bombs in a car. and caused all sorts of damage and destruction, but the buildings did not fall. And Mamdami is is pals with this Imam who is in the Bedford Stysevent Mosque. That's an area of of Brooklyn.

And The guy's name is Siraj Wahaj. And there they are, just I'm telling you, grinning from ear to ear. It's amazing, ladies and gentlemen. Nearly twenty five years after the Muslims brought down the towers in Lower Manhattan, That you could have a jihadist. Be elected.

As mayor of New York City, did you ever think? When you watch those towers fall, did you ever imagine that we would already be at the point where a jihadist would be elected? Unbelievable. It's just unbelievable. 901-260-5926 is our number.

That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have some breaking news here. Bernie Sanders. has Wade in on Poopgate.

Look. Trump may be crazy. And he may be a liar. And it may do. you describe I mean, it's hard to imagine a president I mean, I don't know what world these guys are living.

President of the United States. Dropping feces on an American city. Right. All right. They may be all of those things.

But this is what they're not. They're not stupid. And they are not, they are good politicians. And they're going to look at it. If you think you're a Republic, why do you think the Republicans are hiding out right now?

My chance to the speaker has given them a fi I got in their fifth week of vacation. They're not coming to work. You want to negotiate. They ain't there. All right, so I think that when repeat people all over this country are looking at these notices say i can't pay it Hey.

doubling of my health insurance premiums, Republicans will. Understand that and come to the table. There you have it. You can't take these people seriously. Anyway, yes, Bernie Sanders, President Trump, jumping feces.

On the Libtards in Midtown Manhattan. Let's go to Athens, Georgia. Kim on the line. Hi, Kim. What's going on?

Hi, Todd. Thanks for taking my call. We love you from Athens. Thank you. I got a suggestion or just would like your thoughts.

And I'll start with just something that I noticed in 1995 when I was passing through Denver, Colorado. There was a huge billboard in that city. There were no words on the billboard. On the picture, I'm Sorry, to the left was a picture of Charles Matson. And on the right was O.

J. Simpson. And Denver was making a very loud statement. This is what we think. There were no words.

So I just want your opinion. How would that work in New York with Mondani on one side and the guy he's friends with who blew up the World Trade Center on the left But with a caption, this is the person that helped blow up the World Trade Center and a Subtitle in Spanish. I mean, people got to wake up. Yeah, they do. Kim, I like this idea a whole lot.

And I think the New York Post is doing a terrific job of leading that charge. You know, people in New York City still read the tabloids, and they're getting that information out on the front page. I think we just have to hammer this stuff home. These are very bad people. We cannot allow a jihadist to take over the nation's largest city.

We just can't do it. Exactly. I mean, it'll be over for New York. Yeah, it will be, Kim, and it troubles me. And it especially troubles me.

And as much as we love to give the L's and the Gs and the B's a hard time, they have a right to live their life the way they want to live their life in this country. And I think that could be very short-lived in New York City if this guy is able to take control. I think he's going to target everybody, and that's why all of us. Need to understand what is at stake here. It is a very, very dangerous thing.

That is about to happen in New York City. Kim, God bless you. Thank you for calling in. We got to take a break here.

Alright, can we check on Bernie? I cannot believe it. I cannot believe the President of the United States is defecating our people. He's going number two. Number two, Todd.

Number two. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-totin, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. That's right. I love this American. Touched.

All right. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starns radio program. We certainly appreciate you joining us today.

So A couple of stories that I want to get to this hour. The protest over the weekend, you know, one of the things that I found to be fascinating. Is that not one conservative went out there and shot a weapon? You know, there were no conservative snipers. There were no conservatives going up and just manhandling and mobbing people and sucker punching.

None of that happened. None of that happened. The leftists were allowed to do their protest, and that's that. Unfortunately, that is not the case. For conservatives.

But what really disturbed me was the amount of vitriol and hate That was demonstrated. Throughout all of the protests, I mean, every single one of them. I mean, how many times did you have people wearing the 8647 calling for the president to be assassinated? You literally had. Uh people that were calling for Americans to shoot and kill ICE agents.

I want you to listen to him. This is a man. Who is purportedly on staff at Wilbur Wright College? In the Chicago area, I want you to listen to what he had to say at the Chicago protest yesterday, cut number three. You gotta grab a gun!

We gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. This state, the state machinery that's a full display right there, has to get wiped out. Ladies and gentlemen, those are Direct threats. I mean, you've got a man who is telling a mob of people to go out and shoot and kill ICE agents.

Says gotta shoot him, gotta wipe him out.

Now we understand that this guy is now Being referred to To the Justice Department, so hopefully he is already in custody. We can only. We can only hope for that. But this is incredibly, incredibly dangerous. By the way, the guy goes by the pronouns and He's been identified.

And again, I've not been able to independently verify, but the reporting is out there that he's been identified. His pronouns are they, them, he, him.

So he's one of those folks. And apparently, he is in the Adult Education Department at Wilbur Wright College in Chicago. That's all the information we have right now. By the way, the college, you would think at this point would have issued some sort of a statement condemning this man's rhetoric. And then there was another incident, and we have this up on our website, ToddSterns.com.

And I'd love for you to go there and see the story. We've got a photograph. of a a morbidly obese woman She is a school teacher. She is a STEM teacher in a kindergarten or rather a grade school, an elementary school in Chicago. The name of the school, Nathan Hale Elementary School.

And the teacher Was standing there and she was mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

So let me set the scene for you because there's really not much we can play. It's really more visual, but I'll try to describe it. There were all of these protesters out there, and a pickup truck drives by. You have these young guys, and one of them is. Is his body out the window holding a flag that is supporting Charlie Kirk?

Nothing profane. It was just, you know, supporting Charlie Kirk. And in the process, as they were driving by, this morbidly obese woman. Puts her. Puts her finger, makes a finger gun.

and points it to her neck and goes bang bang. You know what the police did? They told the boys in the truck to put away their flag, that their flag was not alla they were not allowed to have any banners, no Charlie Kirk banners, at the No Kings protest. Unbelievable. So now, all of this information is at ToddSterns.com, including the video.

And so now we understand that the school has released a statement, and they're defending the teacher, and they're saying the conservatives were the ones who. Provoked the mob. Tensions rose when individuals drove by the protest, attempting to provoke participants. Principal Gomez writing, and in a moment of emotion, one of our teachers responded in a way that does not reflect. The professionalism and respect that we expect from our staff.

Have you always noticed, folks? Just step back and think: of all these stories we've told you, all of them are educators. All of them are in the school system. These are the people that are influencing your kids.

Now Nathan Hale goes out there and they say, well, we claim to be a pl we're a place that fosters that place that fosters inclusive and respectful learning environments. Yeah, I don't know about that. It's kind of hard to do when you got a teacher on staff. Who's celebrating the assassination of somebody who just wanted to engage in a civil conversation? That's insane.

Let's go to the phone lines: 901-260-5926, Memphis, Tennessee. Black Conservative, what's on your minds? I don't know. Erudite mine. Brilliant thinker.

and political philosopher. Good afternoon. Uh What's on my mind is exactly what you're talking about, these radicals. This was nothing but a uh anti-hate America rally. that took a protest that took place They're claiming that it was uh A no-king protest.

If President Trump Can be whatever he want to be. because what he has went through, his family His administration has gone through with Yeah, post uh investigation Uh Robert Butler. and other this President can be whatever he want to be to keep this country safe.

So I have no problem. with him being the king, if that's what they want him to be. just like I had no problem with King David or King Solomon.

So, you know, but these are Looney Tunes. protests. I've seen them over the weekend with all those crazy signs and banners and things of that nature. Can you imagine if all this was said against Barack Obama I? Uh, the forest.

And a half black president to be a clinton was half black. Uh for other days one. Yeah. Well that's what the black folks call and they say he was the first bird brother.

So he's hair black. But at any rate, any rate, you know, playing that saxophone. But at any rate, can you imagine if all these. things were said about Barack Obama in the protest. Oh my God, we would be at Bunkers right now.

Oh, it will be over. It will be over. You know, they'll be protesting, saying in the street marching, Kumbaya, and we shall overcome. and all kind of other stuff, but, you know, they can attack this president And you know, with all these kind of acc you know, false accusations and condescending remark. And there's no aqua.

there should be an outcry from the Republican Party to be holding a news press And all these uh Democrat counties and cities. In the aftermath of this Crazy uh No King protests. Hate America protests that that took place. Um And I I want to know, uh, brother Todd, I want to know This timing for this is Pretty, pretty, uh I run it. Plan There's who time, there's a new When was this uh fan to have this No King rally.

Well, yeah.

Well, you know. Doing a shutdown. Oh, yeah. This whole thing was orchestrated. And look, I would not be surprised.

The Republicans are losing, or rather, the Democrats are losing the narrative. They've lost it. And we're going to play in a few minutes. We'll play some audio from CNN.

So I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats try to figure out a way. To get this through, the Republicans are going to win on this. They're not budging, and the Democrats, they're getting killed right now, black conservative. Oh, absolutely. They are.

I have lots of. Did you hear? Biden, uh, press secretary. Uh KJP. Oh, yeah.

You know, she can't stomach being a Democrat in the Democrat party anymore. Uh But uh But but yeah, um who can, you know, deal with what what they're talking about. Um But I'm gonna be down in Old Mission I'm at I'm gonna be at Old Mission University next Wednesday. Vice President coming down there to turn a point. Awesome, sip and speak with uh Totally close wife, so I'm gonna be down there.

But well, black conservative, no, if that's the case, you know, we're doing our show from down there, so you're gonna have to come and you'll have to be on the show. But can I do some book signing? We can do some book signing. We can do that. By the way, you're getting you have fans on our Facebook live stream.

They say, Black conservative, we wish you'd come to a Republican Party of Shelby County meeting. We could use your strong voice on our team. Wow. definitely consider that. Um I I tried to give him a call the other day.

uh the Republican party when that crazy uh county clerk Uh, I've got her name over there, you know, the one that cussed out the uh oh, Tammy Sawyer. Yes, yeah, she's crazy in the cuckoo bird. But uh yeah, um Uh see the same one, you know. That made that accusation about little white kids watching scary movies in the movie theater. I don't know how the heck they elect her.

Yeah. Like people like priests, I guess. But But you know I found out where these people come from. But um But but yeah, uh, I I think that um There should be an outcry from Republican about all these accusations of. I don't know how Democrats came.

uh uh staying with you know Their consensual is on their side. It's just crazy. I just don't care. You can't do it in the middle of a shutdown. You know, these people claim: oh, we're out of work.

We're not, we can't. Provide You know, uh, food, you know, we can't. uh pay our mortgage, whatever, but they can protest on the weekend. They they can indeed. Black conservative, we gotta leave it there, my friend.

But uh we will see you. Look for us. We'll be over at Ole Miss. I'll be there. All right.

Good man, right there, ladies and gentlemen. The Black Conservative, one of our regulars here on the show. Dylan, I've got to play that again. I want to hear Bernie Sanders. He is so enraged over President Trump and Poopgate.

Trump may be crazy. And he may be a liar. And it may do. you describe I mean it's hard to imagine a president I mean I don't know what world these guys are living in. President Bunali Chase.

Dropping feces on an American city. Right. They may be all of those things. But this is what they're not. They're not stupid.

And they are not, they are good politicians. And they're going to look at it. If you think you're a Republican, why do you think the Republicans are hiding out right now? Mike Johnson, the speaker, has given them a f I got they're in their fifth week of vacation. They're not coming to work.

You want to negotiate? They ain't there. All right, so I think that when repeat people all over this country are looking at these notices say i can't pay it A doubling of my health insurance premiums Republicans will Understand that and come to the table. For the love, for the love of Lettis, the man is defecating on us. He's defecating on the Democrats.

I never in my entire life would have ever thought that a President of the United States would take a dump on the American people. He is pooping and pooing. It has to come to an end. For the love of God, somebody call Sharman.

Somebody get Mr. Shawman on the line right now. We'll be right back. Cleveland, Tennessee. Let's go to Debbie.

Cleveland, by the way, home to Lee University. Hi, Debbie. What's on your mind? Hi there, third time caller, love talking to you, Todd. Um, regarding the New York City nonsense, you know, with Mandami with the 9-11 Duke.

I'm thinking. The people who are voting or wanting to vote for him are kids that were like Just little. just born. um very young, right?

So they they've only heard what people have been saying. I'm wondering, where is Lisa Beamer? Where are some of the spouses and the survivors from 9-11 who have like real? Real life experience of going through that? Like, what if they did some exposés on what happened and exposed what this could be terrorist?

could do in New York City. Debbie, I think it's a terrific idea. The challenge has been since 9-11, and these decisions were made. Very early on. That the media would control the narrative.

They would stop showing the planes flying into the buildings. They really wanted to minimize the impact of what happened on that day. And I stood totally against it then. And I still believe that was one of the most horrible things that they could have done because it really undermined. um why we were fighting, who we were fighting over there, but it also prevented future generations from understanding the atrocities that these men committed in the name of their religion, Debbie.

Exactly. Exactly. They removed it because they didn't want it to upset.

Well, I yeah, Debbie, that's what they said, but no, I think the reason was more nefarious. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, they they said didn't want to I knew they wanted to change history.

And they're changing it now. When that happened, my son for the first day rolled over, so he was that small. My other one was two years old. She went to the university completely indoctrinated. I mean, but it's it's that age group.

I I think I just, I don't know, it's just so sad. And then you have Ilhan Omar and Rafida Khalid. strategically placed. I mean, do people not see this? Wake up.

The sheer audacity of these people leaving their war-torn countries, we took them in through the graciousness of the American people. And then they turn around and they spit on our country and they tell us that our country is the problem with the world. I just say, don't let the door hit you or the good Lord split you. You need to go right back to wherever you came from. Yeah, exactly.

Exactly. But we You've got to use discernment. But we we are different than other weeks. Um You know? You can say it as Much as you can, but God's in control.

Excuse the king.

So You know what? Stay close to him. I love that. Those are great words to live by. Debbie, good hearing from you.

Debbie from Cleveland, Tennessee. Great town if you've ever been there. There's a great little place. I know we've got some people over there. I believe it's called Jenkins.

And I'm just going to tell you, they have the best chicken salad. Yeah. And sweet tea. Man, they've got some good sweet tea. Jenkins.

Now they used to have a place I if if there's anybody from Cleveland listening, there used to be a great little sort of like diner, burger, joint place called the the Rebel. And I remember when I went to school at Lee, we used to go over to the Rebel all the time. It was sort of like the place to go. in Cleveland, Tennessee. Also the gateway to the Ocoee River.

Dylan, you ever been whitewater rafting? I was going to say, yeah, that's where we go. Yeah, that's it. The Okoe River. I have very fond memories of falling out of the rafts on the Cody River.

I always, you know, I fall out of the every time you hit that first rapid, I'm out, and it's like a small rapid. I'm like, what happened here? This is not good. But it's a lot of fun.

So anyway, if if you're looking for a great family vacation, I'm telling you East Tennessee, the Okoe River, they've got so much the the the forest here, Big Frog Mountain is over there.

So Lots of crazy stuff. Going on in East Tennessee. May I just say it was one of the worst football weekends. And recent memory. You're not wrong about that.

Wow. Both of our teams lost. Everybody I root for lost. Even the Memphis Tigers whooped by UAB. There were more people on the field than in the stands.

Jeez Alou. All right, 901-260-5926. We've got Tina on standby. Your calls as well. This is the Todd Starring Show.

All right, good to have you with us. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, by the way. You know, Christmas is literally what, right around the corner?

Well, we got to go to Halloween first. May I just recommend something to you? My newest book is literally a perfect stocking stuffer because it's a smaller book. It's sort of like a gift book. and it fits perfectly into somebody's Christmas stocking.

And I think it will make a terrific Christmas present. It's called Star Spangled Blessings: Devotions for Patriots. And it also pairs well with my other devotion book called Our Daily Biscuit Devotions with a Drawl. They're literally the same size book. And you can't go wrong with either one of these.

They make wonderful Christmas gifts, especially for your church friends, maybe your pastor, your pastor's wife. They would love, love, love this book. And you can get a copy. And I'm just going to tell you, I. This does not help me out one way or the other.

If you buy it from me and I autograph it, it costs more only because we don't have the free shipping like Amazon has.

So I would recommend just getting it from Amazon. You're going to find it much cheaper. Barnes and Noble, wherever you buy your books, you'll be able to get a copy of it. But really, Amazon is the best way and it's the most effective way. And you'll have it like the next day or the day after.

But get yourself some of those books. They make wonderful Christmas gifts. You will not go wrong. People are going to love it. We have gotten so many.

You know, it's interesting when you go back and look at all the book reviews. We have gotten more positive book reviews on Star Spangled Blessings than any other book that I've written.

So thank you for that. And we're just excited. I love that little book. It's a fun read. All right, let's go to North Georgia.

Tina, listening to us on WDUN today. Hi, Tina, what's on your mind? Bye, Todd. Um, I'm just kind of in a twist and I can't seem to sort this out at all. Um First of all, I there's only one person on the New York City ballot that's not evil, and that's Curtis Fleewa.

And although I understand your point and others have made the same point, that there's no way he's ever going to get elected, but I also wonder. What? What was Rudy Giuliani known for before 9-11? Would he have become like America's mayor if he hadn't been for 9-11? He was well he was a very successful Prosecutor, U.S.

attorney, and it was, you know, Rudy Giuliani earned his claim to fame by going after the mob back in the 70s and early 80s. And oh, geez, a loo, there was a big-time gangster, a Gotti, John Gotti. He was a part of that whole era of going after the gangsters and became a very popular U.S. attorney. And a tough on crime guy.

I don't know if he would have, to be honest with you, Tina. He did a great job cleaning up New York City. Times Square was a mess. You had the nudie bars and a lot of riffraff. And Giuliani went in there and he cleaned it all up.

And I think he was certainly beloved. But again, he was term limited out. Hello. Okay. Yeah, sorry, Tina.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm no, I'm sorry. I just. I just couldn't if I was a New Yorker, I couldn't bring myself to vote for either either. Andrew Cuomo or the name.

Tina, it is a tough sell. And I will say this about Sleewa. Sleewa would be your typical New Yorker. Again, I'm not saying he's a bad person. I'm just saying he would certainly be a liberal or a rhino.

What really bothered me about Sleewa, he had the opportunity during that debate. To say, you know what, I would welcome the National Guard coming to New York City, but he stood alongside the other three, and that really disappointed me. That was a missed opportunity.

Okay, I understand. Yeah, I mean, it's you know, and and Slewa, and you remember him, I mean, Tina, we're going back to the seventies, he's the guy that started the Guardian Angels because there was so much crime and violence in in the subway system. Right. And I've loved him ever since. Mm-hmm.

No, he's no, he's never he doesn't have the name recognition at all. I understand that, too. Yeah, it's it's just tough. And and you would be surprised. I think he does have the name recognition.

I just don't think people think he can be mayor. I just I don't think that's it. And again, it's just. You know, he's sort of been on again, off again. You know, he didn't support Trump in 2016 or 2020.

And um He's definitely not a friend of the Trump administration.

Okay, well I didn't know that, so I haven't been really keeping up on no, no, no. I hear you. And again, but he may be the only shot they've got. And um Republican support. in New York City that he was The best the party has.

I mean, a 71-year-old who got thumped in the last election. Right. All right. Just turns my stomach. Oh, that guy sleaze.

Sleaze. Yep, no doubt about it. But again, Sleewa has kind of fashioned himself as a populist. What I think is interesting, in 2013, he actually endorsed John Castamatidas, who is a friend of mine. And Castamatidas owns, he's a billionaire and owns grocery stores there in the Areatina.

So, Castamatidas, just about 15 minutes ago, came out and begged. Sliwa to drop out of the race. And Castamatitas. I don't like that idea either. Yep, Castamatidas is a rock-solid Republican and big supporter.

Of Trump. Back in 19, 2019, Sliwa said that he, quote, Hated Donald Trump and called him a screwball in a crackpot.

Okay. We didn't know that. It's tough. All right, Tina, thank you for calling in. And it is, it is very tough.

And we just need the Republicans to play smart politics here. That's really what this is all about. We've got to make sure that we are playing smart politics. politics. 901-260-5926.

Our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. I want to play this audio real quick here. I told you I was going to get around to this, and time kind of got away from me. This is CNN talking about the new polling out on this Schumer shutdown, brand new polling out, and it has not hurt.

Hurt President Trump's public support one bit. Take a listen to Cut Nine. About Donald Trump shutdowns, net approval rating, we're talking 20 days into it. In 2018/2019, Donald Trump's net approval rating was already falling. The shutdown was eating into his popular support.

It was down three points already at this particular point and would fall considerably more. It was very much on the decline. You come over to this side of the screen, this shutdown hasn't eaten into Donald Trump's support at all. His net approval rating is actually up a point in terms of his popular support.

So the bottom line is this. The first shutdown during Trump's first term, 2018-2019, was hurting Donald Trump. This one is not hurting him at all. There's no real reason Donald Trump might say, at least when it comes to popular support, I want to get out of the shutdown. I love these northern voices, the accents.

They kill me. They slay me. Let's go to David, Gainesville, Georgia. You know, David, you and I, us folks down here south, we don't have accents, but everybody else, they've got some pretty strong accents up there. Yeah, I hear you.

Todd. Hey, Todd, why can't Tump use some of that tariff money? to pay our I say just they're wondering what to do with it all. And let us pay these people that that's not getting paid during the shutdown. Mm-hmm.

And one more thing I want to tell you, have we talked about it before, that Time change is coming up, and I still say move it 30 minutes and leave it alone. What do you think? Yeah, I'm with you on the time change thing. But let me go back to this tariff for just a moment, because it's a great question you asked, David.

Now, because the President is paying the U.S. military, but they're doing that With money that was already in the Pentagon budget that was not being used.

So that money was there.

So they had the authority to do that. Only Congress has the authority to allocate tariff revenue.

So President Trump doesn't have any legal authority. You know, to step in and say, okay, guys, we're going to use the tariff money to pay ICE. He's not allowed to do that under law, David. Did nowhere. Yeah, only Congress, that's the role of Congress.

They get to allocate that money, not the President.

Okay. All right. Well, but I know.

Well, I duck know now I see. But just don't forget that time now. Just move it thirty minutes. Just leave it alone. The good Lord will take care of the rest.

I love that. I love it, David. All right. Good talking to you, my friends. And let's go to Eileen in Cleveland, Georgia.

Yes, there are two: Tennessee and Georgia. Yeah, there's also one in Ohio, but you know, we're sort of partial to Georgia and Tennessee. Hi, Eileen. What's going on? Hi, Todd.

Thanks for taking my call. So I wanted to remind everybody about the former president that we had that threatened nukes. on American citizens.

So if you'd rather have poop or nuke, take your choice. By no means, I'd not have to, to be honest. But I did want to discuss Curtis Drewa. and about his not wanting the National Guard, I don't think we would need him if He was the mayor. because he's a tough one crime.

Prayer spin.

So Maybe he he's thinking that He won't need the National Guard because he will crack down on what's going on right now. And as for him not liking Trump, I don't think Does that really matter? Yeah. You don't have to like them. You just have to run your city.

in the best possible safest way. that you can so Well that, you know, you know that I love Trump, but Um I I'd rather see Curtis Lee Wes Maya than any commie. But isn't there a businessman, a Democrat who's also running he had put himself in the race. Nobody's talking about him. No, we've got, I mean, the top three are Mamdami at 40, some odd percent.

Then you've got Cuomo, I think, 28%, and then Saliwa, whose support is in the teens.

So it's, I mean, Eileen, what is it going to take to get Saliwa's numbers up, even just a little bit? Todd, I am of the belief that that New Yorkers are not going to vote for Mandami. Yeah. Press. It's pushing him.

The Democrat Socialists are pushing him. But I'm a New Yorker, you know, former New Yorker. who relocated to the beautiful state of Georgia. I just don't think that people are gonna. Vote for him.

They're just pushing him. Like they did Hillary, like they did Kamala. And What happened there? I just, in my heart, I don't think New Yorkers All that foolish. Eileen, you have to refresh my memory.

You mentioned about dropping bombs. Who was that Democrat? Who was it that said that? That was um Biden, he said he. He said remember we remember when he said they have and we have nukes?

Yes.

That is true. That's true. I forgot about that. Yes, I didn't forget. I'll never forget that because he threatened to drop Nukesa.

guns but he's got nukes. I love it. Who is better than nukes? All right, Eiley. Yeah.

Eileen, always a pleasure talking to you. And by the way, it's autumn. Are you guys getting a good leaf? You know, the leaf changing there, are they changing colors? not by us so much, but up by Clayton.

Um Clayton and the North Carolina border. Dillard, Clayton, there is gorgeous. Here We're just getting a lot of fallen leaves. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Well, it's that is one of the most beautiful parts of the country during the fall when all the uh the leaves are changing colors. And if you're up in Dillard, you gotta go by what, the Dillard House? Is that still around? Yeah, well, yeah, they changed um bonus. But yeah, they're they're gonna be doing a resort and all of this.

They're working on everything. Oh, fancy. My son works there.

Well, there you go. We'll have to. I've got to get over to. I haven't been over there for the leaf season in a long, long time, but I've got to get over there. Eileen, it's good hearing from you.

Don't be a stranger. I. Oh, can I say one more thing? Yeah, sure. There are is an election going on now.

for public service. And it's not being really advertised But these are the kind of elections that the Republicans don't go out for. But you have to remember locally, you have to vote. We have to vote for the Republican because we know the Democrats are off the rails. Yes, ma'am.

We'll check in with our friends. We'll check in with our friends over at WDUN, and we'll get the lowdown on that. Eileen, got a run, my friend. Thank you. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. During the break, head over to Amazon and get yourself 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 copies of Star Spangled Blessings. Again, they make terrific Christmas gifts. We'll be right back, everybody. Um You know, I just thought Eric Trump did a terrific job over the weekend.

We were. We were doing the Pacific Justice Institute Celebration of Justice, Gala. They have asked me to emcee this thing for a year, I think 10 years now, and it really is a lot of fun. And really have enjoyed meeting a lot of the regular folks there at the staff. Brad Dakis, who's a regular on this program, and they're just doing some incredible work.

really around the country standing up for people, fighting for freedom and liberty and family rights. And what I what I respect about Pacific Justice Institute. They could have moved out of California, but they decided not to. They not only stayed, but they have expanded their footprint there in the Golden State. And so we appreciate them.

And they throw one heck of an amazing gala. It is just first class all the way. They had about 900 people there sh uh sold out. They had a waiting list of people, and Eric was the keynote speaker.

So we got to spend we got to spend about fifteen, twenty minutes in the green room just chilling out, and he was signing copies of his new book, Under Siege, which, by the way, we believe is going to hit the New York Times bestseller list. It's a mass of over 130,000, 140,000 copies sold. But the takeaway from Eric and the conversations and just hanging out. Is that he's just a regular guy? I mean, just that really, there are no heirs about him aside from the Secret Service guys.

that were surrounding him, he had one staffer with him. And she got him from point A to point B. She did a terrific job. Great staffing there. And after it was over with, and we he screwed it out.

And a lot of times, you know, these, especially the Fox celebs, you know, they just immediately leave. They don't like to interact with the audience. You know, they want to get their check and they're boom, they're gone. And I Usually, when I'm emceeing in Dillon, this is how dedicated I am because they have a seat for me there. and they bring out the food, and it must have been like a thirteen ounce steak, a big, huge chunk of beef.

Did not eat it. Could not eat it. You couldn't? I couldn't. I had a job to do.

So I and I didn't want to get up there and I'm announcing the the winner of the you know the raffle contest and all of a sudden I have to burp. You know, nobody want nobody wants to hear that. I love that. That's what you're worried about. Oh, big time.

No, big time. Only because it's happened before. You got to stifle the pelch. You can save it for later.

So, anyway, I thought, you know what? I'm going to run over to have a beautiful little restaurant there.

So, at the hotel, we are at the JW Marriott, which is right around the corner from Disney. And so I just say, you know what? I'm going to sneak up there after the event. And I go up there and I'm waiting for the server to. Get me seated, and I look, and there's Eric hollers at him.

I didn't even see him. He's like, Hey, Todd. And I turned around, he was like, oh, it was Eric, and he was having dinner there with his assistant. And uh the guy drink he's an iced tea drinker. No way.

Oh, yeah. That's the first thing I noticed. He's one of us. He's one of us. And he loves Memphis.

Of course, the family has been so generous to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

So he knows all about us. I'm going to have to tell the story. You have to remind me tomorrow. I've got to tell the airplane story. Because it's hilarious.

But anyway. God bless Eric Trump. He's the real deal. And he just Just he hit it out of the ballpark yesterday. Raised a lot of money for PJI, too.

Folks, got to leave it there. We'll see you at 5 o'clock Eastern on Newsmax tomorrow, noon Eastern, right here on the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Be good, America.
