Well live. From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable America. That's us! That's right!

I'm lost. Love is the marriage. And round touch start.

Well, good afternoon, everybody. Great to be with you. Hello, America. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show.

So Man, do we have a lot of news to talk about, a lot of ground to cover today? A major election happening in middle Tennessee, and we're going to get to that in just a moment in the Nashville area. President Trump, just a few moments ago, delivering a speech. By phone, actually. Speaker Mike Johnson is boots on the ground, and there's a lot of angst in Republican circles about whether or not they're going to be able to win this special election.

So we'll get to more of that in just a little while. Also, of course, we had a horrible situation that took place, and we were covering the story right before the Thanksgiving. We were on Thanksgiving Eve when the shooting of the two National Guard soldiers happened. in Washington DC and covered that over the weekend. I was uh anchoring on Newsmax on Thanksgiving night as well as um on Friday, on Black Friday.

And had a chance to speak with the governor of West Virginia about the situation, and it's just not good. It is just not good, ladies and gentlemen. And the reality of it is this. We have got to have a very serious conversation about immigration in this country.

Now, you have to go back to... The Barack Hussein Obama administration. When they literally opened up the floodgates. I mean, that's really when all of this started. And I'm not talking about the illegal immigration during the Obama years.

I'm talking about the legal migration that occurred. And President Trump is about to play hardball, and really he has. He has no other o no other choice here. He's going to have to do that. And if we don't, well, we're going to be in a world of hurt.

I think we're already going to be in a world of hurt, and we already are in a world of hurt. But the President wants to put a pause On all migration from third world countries. And I think that is it well, it's way overdue. And I'm glad the President is doing that, but the damage has already been done. And my question.

And the question that we need to get answered very quickly is: how many other Afghan Afghan terrorists were allowed to come into the country. How many more Muslim terrorists are we talking about here? And I'm not quite sure anybody is willing to give us the right answer to that question. Maybe nobody knows. But we do know this: tens of thousands of people were granted asylum here in this country from Afghanistan, and hardly anybody was vetted.

Hardly anybody was vetted.

So we've got Lord knows what happening on American soil. And it all sort of makes sense now. You know, for the longest time we'd had these members of Congress come on the show. And they would warn us. They would say, no, Todd, it's not a matter of if, but when we have a terrorist attack on the homeland.

And I would always follow up and say, How do you know that? How can you say that with such assurance? And they say, We can't get into the intelligence, but we can tell you it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. And now we understand why.

So here we are. And just a horrible situation in West Virginia. And your heart just goes out to these folks. And their families. I mean, just a terrible situation.

But honestly, we need to really step back for a moment and think about how we deal with this situation. And it seems to me that we need to be publicly executing. These kinds of of terrorists. If you're going to go out there and you're going to attack law-abiding American citizens of whatever status. Whether they wear the uniform or not, there needs to be some sort of a public.

and very painful, very deliberate execution of that person. But anyway, all of this really started in earnest in the Obama administration, and then in the Biden administration is when they just literally opened at the floodgates. And we've got tens of millions, tens of millions. Of illegals now living here in the United States. Stephen Miller, the um talking about this on Fox News channel.

And he is not too encouraged by what's been going on, cut number four. Is it for your audience perfectly, Sean? This was not a loophole. The Biden administration. Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkis, devised a scheme.

To fly illegal aliens into the country and then to escort them en masse across the border by the millions and to give them something known as parole, which gives them a work permit, which gives them a social security number, which gives them access to the voting booth. This was the plan all along: to get them here illegally so they can get free government benefits, get hooked to welfare, and be able to participate in American elections. This was an attack on democracy by the Democrat Party. It's the same attack that we see, Sean. When you have California, a sanctuary state that is refusing to turn over even illegal alien criminals and gang members to ICE.

So these are illegal aliens in California who have been arrested by California police, by California law enforcement, for serious crimes, for crimes against children, for felonies, for crimes that threaten public safety. And they are refusing to hand these criminal, illegal aliens over to ICE. Instead, they're freeing them back into the cities to offend and offend again. By any definition, what California is doing is criminal. Yes.

Look, it's all criminal. And so now we're faced with a rather interesting question. And I don't think this is a difficult question at all, but I can understand why People are going to treat this as as difficult. Because I believe what we need to do is go back through and deport any Muslim that has come to this country. at least in the past ten years.

Send em send em back home. And I say that because when you look At the level of rage within the Islamic communities. You've got people out there openly now calling, openly calling. For Death to America. By the way, one of those individuals is going to be a part of the Mandami administration in New York City.

And it seems to me if you're a naturalized citizen and you're out there And you are trying to undermine. Capitalism, you're trying to undermine our way of life, then you have to go back where you came from. There's nowhere in the Constitution that it says that we have to let people into this country. who want to destroy our country. That's just insanity.

But that's where we are right now. And in these Muslim communities, and they're over the weekend, if you go on Acts, for example, over the weekend. Just Dozens and dozens and dozens, maybe hundreds. of postings videos Of Muslim clerics in the United States on American soil calling for the destruction of America, death to America. And so, my question, ladies and gentlemen, at what point do we have to say, you know what, enough is enough?

Over the weekend in Brooklyn There was video taken it was what five thirty in the morning And People were Muslims were lined up. They had taken over the streets. And they were literally marking their territory. In Brooklyn, New York, where they do prayers five times a day, literally shutting down the streets. If Christians or Jews had done that, they would be in jail.

There were people in Times Square. Calling for Islam to be in every household in America. This is happening. And by the way, you say, well, why would they be in Times Square? Because it is the symbolic.

Crossroads of the World That's the reason why. Oh, by the way, it was five o'clock in the morning in Brooklyn. and as far as the eye can see this long street Row houses on either side, and all of the Muslims are there. They've got their little prayer rugs out. And as one observer said, They're trying to assert their religious dominance over you, claim your country, and turn it into Sharia.

And ladies and gentlemen, I don't I don't mean to alarm you. But Sharia is simply not compatible with Western civilization. Sharia is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution at all. And whenever the Muslims get the majority.

the Christians and the Jews and the gay communities all suffer. That's just the way it is. And that is very well documented within global history.

So, anyway, we're watching this story unfold. President Trump. Wanting to put a stop, an immediate halt, to all immigration from third world countries. Curious to hear our thoughts on that. I think we need to take it a step further and begin deportations of even the naturalized citizens from these third world countries.

And that includes Ilhan Omar. And let me say this: we need to have a serious conversation about whether or not naturalized citizens should be allowed to run for Congress or any elected office for that matter. All right, got to take a break. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Go to angel.com/slash starns and take advantage of their biggest sale of the year. All right, welcome back. Good to have you with us, everybody.

Let's go to North Carolina Charles, WSIC, our great affiliate there. Hi, Charles. What is on your mind today? Exactly what you're talking about today, Todd, with these Muslims, illegal immigration. It all goes tails together.

But I just think that now would be the perfect opportunity for President Trump to do a nationwide Oval Office addressed to the country. or either to a joint session of Congress and get Just lay out to the American people. Exactly, how grave a danger we're in, and how much worse this illegal immigration was. And to get some type of national emergency authorization by Congress to deal with it. He doesn't need to use the tweet.

No n nothing on true social. That's like It just doesn't give us a sense of urgency. He needs to step up and do that. And I know other prominent people have been encouraged him to speak directly to the nation like Roosevelt did. But he needs to say what you just said, Todd, that Islamic.

Is not compatible with Christianity, and Sharia law is not compatible with the Constitution. And I think he should ask Mike Johnson for Congress to pass legislation banning Sharia law in the United States. And anybody that adheres sh to Sharia law is to be automatically deported. We've got to throw these Muslims out of here, Todd, because We're just sowing the seeds of our destruction and I'm afraid that a lot of Americans have just been asleep at the wheel, but these people are bound and determined. And they're dedicated and they're a major threat.

And The battle is already here at our shores and it's time to fight it out with us. There's video on social media showing an entire auditorium filled with Muslims in Dearborn. All chanting death to America, death to America, death to America. I just say we take them at their word, and honestly, they should have just surrounded. They should have surrounded the mosque, and they should have deported anybody that was in that mosque, send them back to where they came from.

And again, if you hate America so much, you really don't need to be here.

So we're really doing you a favor, and we're doing us a favor because we don't want to be blown up. No, you're exactly right. And you know, Todd, when ICE is going into these cities like they did in Charlotte a few weeks ago, when they come here and you know, when they're doing their duty to routing up these illegals and like I wish they would just ask for local volunteers. I mean, ask for 10, 15, 20,000 or more people to show up. And help, you know, give you reinforcements, you know, deputize them.

Uh you know, give them a badge, give them immunity, but We're it's going to be ugly throwing these people out, but We should have never let him in. I mean, we had the safest country in the world. We had the Atlantic Ocean on one side, the Pacific on the other. And we just deliberately these these Democrats Under Joe Biden deliberately opened up that border. and allow our country to be invaded.

And it's to me that is just nothing short of treason. And this is a national emergency and it requires some some drastic action end soon. No doubt about it. And I would just encourage everybody, and we'll go to the story a little bit later, with what's happening in Minnesota with the Somalis. That is just insane, over a billion dollars in fraud And it looks as though our tax dollars were going to fund Somali terrorist groups.

So we've got to put a stop to all of this, and I think it is going to be a. It's going to be have to be just slam on the brakes, shut everything down, let's figure out who's in the country and let's deport the very, very bad people that somehow made it in, and in some cases were actually invited in. Yes. Amen to that time. And you know, President Trump should also tell Mike Johnson.

Mr. Speaker, we know that we're going to need a budget come January. And I just want to tell you right now, there better not be one penny of money in there for illegal aliens. No money for health care, no money for food, for housing, for education. no money at all for illegal aliens.

If you put it in there, I'm going to veto the whole bill. And this This counting people who were illegal aliens. when it comes to the the census, that needs to stop And they should not be counted when it comes to congressional apportionment. I think he needs to make that well known, too. Yeah, big time.

All right, Charles, great call, as always. Thank you. You know what's interesting. There is some new polling data out. And it's not looking good for the president right now.

And I look, you know, I take these polls with a grain of salt.

However, It is a good indicator. of the mood of the country. Not necessarily, okay, this is exactly what's about to happen, but you get an idea of where things are. And where people are right now. And they're thinking.

And the reality is there are. There are some polls out there. And it's not the approval rating of the president is dropping to a new low, 36%. Which is um which is not good. It's not good.

And it's taking a nosedive right now.

Now look, you say, well, what does this mean at this stage of the game? Not a lot, but it's, I think it's a canary in a coal mine sort of a situation where you want to pay attention, and there are some things that we can glean. From all of this bad polling data.

Now, I want to go through, there are five very recent polls that were taken. And this is not a doom and gloom thing. And I don't want you to freak out here. All right, just so bear with me as we get through this, and there's some good that we can glean from this bad polling data. First of all, politico.

Showing that over a third of President Trump's 2024 voters do not identify as MAGA Republicans. Those voters are less likely to support Republican candidates' down ballot and are increasingly critical of Trump's handling of the economy and cost of living. Sixty-three percent. Trust Republicans on economic issues. compared to 88% of the MAGA supporters.

So, again, with the politico polling, this is a matter of messaging again. Messaging. You've got to lay it out there in very simple terms for people. Here's where the economy was, here is where it is now, and here's where we project it's going to go. I'll have more to say about this coming up after the break.

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Don't panic. That is the message here. 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.

Yeah. All right.

So, I want to get back to this polling data that's out there. There's a Gallup poll where the president's approval ratings hit new lows. That's going to happen, folks.

So, there's really nothing major there. This Emerson poll. Showing that some congressional seats may be in trouble. That's just a weird poll. This is the Emerson College the Hill poll, and they surveyed Tennessee's 7th congressional district, where Trump won by 22 points in 2024.

There is a special election tomorrow to fill the seat that had been previously held by Congressman Mark Greene.

So Green resigned. All right.

Had a little bit of an issue with the ladies. If you will. Oh, by the way, hold on, I've got to put a... Hang tight for just a second. Uh Georgia.

Holy crap, Ola. What a scandal that you guys have brewing there.

So there is a um the assistant secretary. of the Georgia Republican Party has resigned. A Young a young conservative activist is how he's being described. His name is Jaquan Stembridge. mister Stimbridge resigned Sunday And his resignation was effective on Saturday.

Wait, can you do that? I don't think you can do that.

So anyway, the guy is um The guy is accused of uh Trying to Meet up. With, wow, I'm trying to put this in a very delicate way. He was trying to meet up with an underage boy. on a dating app.

So the Mr. Stembridge is nineteen years old. And the the uh the the alleged victim well it's It was somebody pretending to be a, you know, I think a 14 or 15 year old. Anyway, the guy resigned. I I'm s I'm Here's what I don't understand about this Republicans.

As soon as you find out about something like that, you immediately fire the person, you remove them. You release a statement of great righteous indignation and And you offer sympathies for the alleged victim. I don't it really wasn't an alleged victim. It was one of these setup kind of things. You know, what is the NBC, the NBC news guy, right?

Um Jeez a loop.

So anyway, the leader of the, he was also a leader of the Georgia teen Republicans. He was confronted by a person when he was allegedly trying to meet the underage person. And they've got all the text and everything. It's just very strange.

So, anyway, that story brewing there in the state of Georgia. What was I talking about? Oh, yes.

So, going back to the Tennessee 7th Congressional District race. This polling data is just way off. Here's the thing. We're going to talk about, we'll go in depth with this a little bit later on with Steve Gill, but here's the situation in Tennessee. If in fact the race is that close, you can You've got a problem.

If the race is, if this guy doesn't win by 18 or 20 points, We still have a problem. Because that tells me that Republicans are disinterested and they're not wanting to get out and vote. The problem with this guy's campaign, Matt Van Eps is his name. Nice guy, military veteran, checks off every single box. Married to a woman.

The whole night art.

So he checks off all the Republican boxes. No scandals. And he's a perfect candidate. Not much in the personality department, but that should not disqualify anybody. I'm just saying it's, you know, he's not like this crazy.

crazy loon running on the left. Afton Bain is her name. But the problem with his entire campaign This has nothing to do with the fact that he's milk toast vanilla boring. It has nothing to do with that at all. The problem is He's not telling us what he's going to do.

He's telling you to vote against This woman Afton Bank. People are not going to get motivated to go out and do something like that. Not only that, the guy didn't even really start campaigning until about two weeks ago. And now everybody's freaking out. That's why President Trump today is doing not one, but two.

video conferences. And if you got to put that much effort. into a trump 20 a a trump plus 22 district We've got big problems, but again, I unless unless this thing is catastrophically off, I think the Republicans are going to be able to hold on to it.

So, anyway, the polling data is just weird in some of these local special. Elections, no doubt about that. Pew Research. Their poll indicates that Hispanic voter discontent has increased over immigration concerns. Sixty one percent say his economic policies have worsened their condition.

Let me say something about this. I'm not surprised, and this may be the result of having to do what needed to be done. Because I still believe, and even if President Trump loses support in the Hispanic community. The President is doing the right thing here. We've got to deport everybody.

Everybody here illegally has to go. Another poll, which aggregated CBS, YouGov, Fox News, Reuters, and the AP. Shows that Trump's approval averages around 42%, disapproval at 55%.

So, you can make of that what you will, but I don't believe we need to freak out just yet. It goes back to the messaging. That's it. It's just all about The messaging and the messaging coming out of the White House has just been off. They've got to get back on track here.

And if they're able to do that and do it quickly, Then I think we're going to be okay. Yeah. But I'm curious, how do you think how do you think the President's doing right now? Does he need to make any sort of coarse corrections in your mind? 901-260-5926.

That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Oh, here you go. AF post. Is the one of the conservative bloggers out there, and they've got allegedly got the video. Newly elected GOP Georgia Secretary Jaquan Stembridge.

was caught in a child sex predator ring sting. allegedly attempting to meet a fourteen year old boy. He chairs the Georgia Team Republicans, a high school organization, and is a member of the Georgia. Young Republicans.

So those are the allegations. Hasn't been arrested. The Georgia G O P. Uh said nothing about. The reasons why But it's all out there, so you can see it for yourself.

Not good, not a good look for Republicans. And Republicans have to stop protecting the predators in their midst pardon me, the alleged predators in their midst.

So President Trump Uh weighing in on this Afton Bain character. Uh Here's the president. Mike Johnson was giving a speech in Franklin, Tennessee. And the president phoned in.

So Johnson puts the I just want to explain the audio you're about to hear. Johnson puts the speaker of his phone right up to the microphone. Here's President Trump.

Well, he's managing. Remember, he's got a majority of three. A majority of three. And there aren't many people who can do that, but we have to win this seat. We've gotten you the largest tax cuts in history, and the new bill, the great big beautiful bill, kicks in, as you know, on January 1st.

Hasn't even kicked in yet. And then you have no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. If you borrow money to buy a car, you get a deduction that's never happened before. All these things kick in on January 1st. A lot of people don't know.

They said, oh, they already kicked it. I said, no, it doesn't start until January 1st.

So that was the first date. I just want to thank everybody. I love Tennessee, one of my all-time favorite places. I guess love speak because we've won by the biggest margins anybody's ever won by, so that's cool. But if you can go, Matt Van Epps, he's a winner, he's going to be great.

Don't let this stuff woo you. The Democrats are spending a fortune, and we don't want people that want to raise your taxes. He wants to raise your taxes on top of everything else. But she said two things above all else that bothered me. Number one, she hates Christianity.

Number two, she hates country music. How the hell can you elect a person like that? I just want to give my total support. And he's at it right from the beginning. to Matt Van Epps.

He's going to be a fantastic congressman. He's going to represent you so well. And we'll keep our agenda going. And I'm going to make a call tonight, about seven or eight o'clock. I'm doing a tele rally for him tonight.

So if anybody wants to listen, basically I'll be saying the same things I just said. He's fantastic. And go get him and get out tomorrow morning. Get out and vote. And let's make it a sweeping victory.

The whole world is watching Tennessee right now. And they're watching your district. The whole world. It's a big vote. It's going to show something.

And it's got to show that the Republican Party is stronger. Yeah, Trump is right there, and the whole world is watching, and we need to be. I think the magic number there, three. That's where the Republican majority stands right now.

So we cannot let that go down to two.

So if you know of anybody in Tennessee living in that congressional district, you've got to give them a call and urge them to get out and vote. Tomorrow in that election. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

So I was getting all these text messages on. Was it Sunday, Monday, Friday? Anyway, no, it was Friday. And they said, you're not going to believe this, but Trump wrote something about you on True Social. I'm like, get out of here.

What are you talking about? And so, anyway, it turns out that President Trump was very kind and actually sent a note about the new book, Twilight's Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved? The answer is yes, by the way.

So President Trump says: this is what he wrote on True Social: Twilight's Last Gleaming. Can America be saved? All caps, yes. By the great Todd Starnes, a fantastic new book. Get it now, President DJT.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. President. The book is doing very well. We've had a surge in sales, so that's always a nice thing. When the president does something like that.

By the way, big sporting news. Dylan, were you surprised by the news? Lane Kiffin. Wayne Kiffin. He did it.

A hundred million dollars I wasn't really surprised. What is it? A hundred million dollars? Is that yeah, at least. I mean, the dude's g he's probably the highest, and I haven't checked this, but I think he's the highest paid college head coach of all time.

That's insane. Yeah, a lot of people are mad about this.

So, so many people. Did you see the airport scene? No. Oh, yeah. The fans showed up, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I saw that. They were not happy. No, no, they weren't.

Well,. There's like two sides of it. Like you go to LSU, and people are saying, well, if you go to LSU, you're just another notch in the belt. You're just another head coach that moves after a successful season. But if you stay at Ole Miss, you have a chance to build a legacy there.

You have a chance to win the national championship with this team. And then you're throwing it all away along with coaches and players that are probably going to come with you.

So, old miss, I feel really bad for old miss, honestly, because they're getting the short end of this stick here. Here's what I don't understand, and this is a genuine, I don't understand this. Kiffin could have gone to Elizu and said, All right. I'm going to sign this, but let's announce it after the football season's over. Let's get through the playoffs and then we'll make the announcement.

But this is just insane. I think it was a pressure cooker, if I'm being honest, because teams, LSU wanted him so fast because they have to get on that recruiting, they have to get on everything.

So you start the new season back. And the faster, the better, with that situation. And Ole Miss. I mean They're just begging him to stay basically, because I mean, they don't have that kind of money. I don't think L S U is was was offering, and so.

I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of players that are going to leave Olmiss. I mean, obviously, he took, what, three coaches with him? It's just dismantling the whole program. The rumor was, the rumor was, he wanted, he's upset.

And by the way, he's upset. That they're not letting him coach the team. I don't blame old man. I don't blame him either. They don't want, I mean, you left us.

Why would we want you back?

Somebody, I saw a photo. I guess he had a clothes rack. You know, I've got one for Newsmax, and they rolled it outside. It's just in the parking lot. They're over it.

It does seem to me if you're doing something like that, the movers have already been to your house and you're gone. You're not stepping foot in the state of Mississippi again. I would be scared to. Did you see the motorcade? I mean, they had like a police.

It looked like President Trump's motorcade taking Lane Kiffen from the airport to LSU. I am not surprised. Baton Rouge. Yeah. Well, they got all that oil buddy down there.

That's true. They got a lot of money.

Well, hopefully he does well. I don't know. Maybe he's just going to be another average coach. Who knows? But this is a huge pay raise for this guy.

Everybody thought that he had turned a new leaf since the UT days. Mm-hmm. And clearly he did not. I mean, it was a pretty sleazy move. Yeah, it's rough.

It's a rough situation. Either way, I mean, if you don't take the job, you're missing out on. A lot of money, which It's a job at the end of the day. But if you stay, then you're mean. If somebody offered you $100 million.

Would you go? No question. No question. Yeah. But it's hard to say.

It's hard to say if I would or not because. I would want to finish the season. Like, at the same time, I would want to finish the season, but I'm gone. Yeah, give me that keen cake, baby. Les la bonte roulette.

There you go. That's what I say. You can send them a postcard. Yeah, you can send them a postcard. There's not much to do else.

Really, there's not much to do at Oxford. No, you can party. Food scene's okay. Yeah. I mean, you got it.

It is a football town. It's like, it's like solely for football. Oh, it's, yeah, it is. But it's a, yeah, it's, it's still one of the best football of Saturday in the Grove. Nothing better.

Can't beat that at all. Unless you're LSU. Then, I mean, it's like tons of coaches out of work. And then you've got the University of Memphis and Ryan Silverfield going to Arkansas. Going to Arkansas.

And everybody here is like celebrating, you know, they're like breathing a sigh of relief because we didn't think anybody wanted the guy. Yeah. Yeah, it turns out Arkansas didn't want him either. I mean, well, Arkansas wanted him, but the fans didn't. You see all the fans?

The fans hate this. Oh, Arkansas. Tho those they're really upset. They think they think Arkansas is just done with football. They want to go to the Big Twelve now instead of the SEC 'cause they're really they're a basketball school now with uh Caliperi.

So they don't they're they feel like they don't care any more about the football scene. May I just say, and by the way, I just write this down: Hugh Freeze. Hugh Freeze. I wouldn't be mad at that at all. Yeah.

Yeah. I wouldn't either. I mean, it was, you know, rough go at Auburn. What are you going to do? Yeah.

I'm fine with that. I just see how it goes. Yeah, he did a great job at Liberty. Yeah, he will be loved here, I think. Accepted, at least accepted.

Well, it's yes. The fan base here in Memphis. Here's the thing: Memphis does no marketing at all. It's so sad. People call us the stepping stool school.

Yeah, that's true. We're not the state. May I just say that NIL has ruined college sports? Agreed. Ruined.

All right, got to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. This is the Todd Spern Show. Still managing your rental business like a side hustle? Stop risking your cash flow.

It's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. Settlers! Bye. Yeah. Hello.

Love this American. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention this, but Dylan, we had this huge conversation last week about. Um Thanksgiving sides. and how you abhor Green bean casserole. I remember.

And how it's like th the worst like that's the one side dish that has to go from the Thanksgiving Day table, right? Mhm. What what did your wife bring to the Stearns family Thanksgiving supper? Todd, she made green bean casserole. She made green bean casserole.

She made green bean casserole. And as a good husband, as a very good husband, I tried her green bean casserole. And as a very good cousin-in-law, I did too. I made a big deal about it. Here's the thing.

It was really good. And I hate that I'm admitting this. But. I like green bean casserole. It was really good.

Yes. I will say it was really good. It was really good. And okay, so I took a bite of it and she was like Is it good? And I'm like, this is really good.

And she's like, okay, well, I was going to tell you what I put in it. But I'm glad that you took a bite and you like it now. Wait, what did she put into it?

Well, this is nervous now. She put mushrooms. Oh, yeah. And onions. Oh, yeah.

And I think that's it. Oh yeah, and the crunchy stuff on top, crunchy bits, and the cheese.

Now, that was, I was not expecting cheese, but it was really good. Cheese helped. I I I don't know what to tell you, but I I think I'm a green bean casserole guy now. I think I've been converted. I still won't say that it's my favorite side dish for Thanksgiving, but it's not the worst.

And your dad's the sausage balls were on point. Always. Always. And your mom's corn casserole thing. I could eat that all day.

I can't forget the Oreo balls for dessert. Yeah. I'm not a big Oreo ball fan. See, those are my favorites. I could eat that for the course.

Yeah. I'm just, I'm not a big fan of balls, you know, chocolate or otherwise. It's for you. Pardon me. But they're in a ball form.

They are symmetrical. They are a ball. They are. They're very good. But anyway, and then I play what is the game we play?

We our family does this big uh I'm not a big board game, but everybody gets a whiteboard, like a Karl Rove whiteboard. Yeah. It's called um who's most likely to. And it's a bunch of questions, and it's great with a family if you want to stir up controversy. It's true.

You read a card and you're like, who's most likely to come into work dressed like a homeless person? And you all write down the answer. Oh, sorry. Most of the answers were Dylan. And I don't know what.

Well, you know, it's true. I had to leave early. I had to go and anchor the news.

So I chose to be a spectator this year. But I think my answers were spot on last year. Yeah, they always end up being like me or Someone else in our family that makes a lot of sense.

So, I mean, it's an attack on the family. Wow. And we've got the little baby, too, little teddy. Yeah. Baby, yes.

He's growing up, too. Wow. It's amazing. What do we have? Like 14, 15 people.

Big crowd. It was really nice to see everybody. It was Thanksgiving. It was good. You know, and isn't that the whole point of Thanksgiving, ladies and gentlemen?

Getting together with your family. And it was just fun. Just unplug for the day, watch some football, eat some turkey, take a nap. That's. It was just great.

All right.

We've got a lot going on this hour of the program. Our good buddy Steve Gill is going to come by, and we're going to talk Republican politics and what's going on in the country right now. Let me just say this, and we'll put a pin in this until Gill comes on with us. this congressional race in Tennessee could actually blow back on the Democrats because they're it's all hands on deck for the Democrats, and they really do believe that they're going to be able to pick up a district here and pull off an upset. And if they don't, I think it just completely demoralizes.

The Democrats, but there's no way this woman is going to be able to win. No way. whatsoever. All right, I want you to write down our telephone number. You will need this: 901-260-5926.

Our telephone number, that's 901-200. two six zero five nine two six. Couple of interesting stories out there from Oregon. All of you Oregonians. Oh, by the way, what do you call people from Indiana?

Anybody want to take a gander? What do you call people from Indiana? No, they're not Indianians. That's what Turning Point USA. Turning point USA.

It's terrible.

So there's a huge scandal up there. And uh they They call them Indianians. And like no TPOSA. They're called Hoosiers. That's what I'm saying.

They're Indianians.

So I heard there were two people from Turning Point USA, and one of the TPUSA was talking about the Indianians, and the other was talking about the Indiana State Assembly.

Well, there is no such thing. It's the Indiana House of Representatives, and they're called Hoosiers. Come on, TPUSA. Get it together. Anyway.

Oregonians I just love saying that. You guys have a cool way of calling it. We're Tennesseans here. What do you call it? Alabamians?

Is that. Rednecks. Why is it not Ian? Ianians? Why is it not?

That's just the way it is. They're called Hoosiers. That's a whole different word. That's not fun. No, but it's like the Hoosier State, right?

Yeah, they can have it. It's a football. That's the only reason why I know that. really basketball, but um well, football now.

Okay. That's another. Oh, well, what are they? Number two now? They're the number two team.

You never, I keep forgetting about that. I know. Anyways. Hmm.

So, anyway, the whole point of that is: do you want Hoosier stands for? People. You know what? I'm going to throw that as a trivia. It's a fun trivia question, actually.

Why do they call Indianians Hoosiers? Who's your daddy, Hoosier? If you know, give us a call. And if you know the answer to this question, I will hook you up with. A copy of Star Spangled Blessings.

And you can, if you don't like it, you can always give the book away to, you know, for a Christmas present. Not a white elephant gift. Oh, we've got that coming up. Wow. Dylan, I got Jeez Lowe.

You may get your book back. I'm very. That's going to be so embarrassing. One of one of our family members gave it as a white offing gift. Fits right in the stocking perfectly.

You know, everybody's getting a napkin from the White House. That's what they're getting this year. I heard they're really nice. A little crumpled, but yes, they're very nice.

Okay. Anyway, 901-260-5926. If you know. What Hoosier came from? How did Hoosier come out as a nickname?

901-260-5926. Can we get back to Oregon, please?

So The Oregon Health department or health authority, rather, they are putting out a questionnaire. And they want to know if sixth graders are either gender fluid. or pansexual. This is it's really weird and somewhat gross. But the health officials say, hey, look, we've got no choice here.

We're required by Oregon state law. to find out, you know, if you're if your child's a pervert. And so they've got this survey that they have to do. And it's it's weird.

Now, those were just some of the questions on the survey. The kids were quizzed on their gender identity, sexual orientation, whether or not they identified as transgender.

Now they were also asked if they were D Demi girls or Demi Boys? What if you're a demi-more?

Sorry, that's a bad joke. Or Demi Glaze. That's okay. I'm sorry. That was inappropriate.

So, anyway, we looked up the definition because our team here is not familiar with Demi Boys or Demi Girls. That's defined as someone who par partially identifies as a girl or a boy, or with femininity or masculinity.

So sometimes you feel like a boy, sometimes you feel like a girl.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Also, pansexual, and we have been really conflicted over what this actually means, but we did a little bit of homework. And we have determined that pansexuality is someone who has emotional or romantic attractions for people of any gender, but not necessarily simultaneously.

So I guess you could go out with a boy in the morning and a girl in the afternoon. All that to say it has nothing to do with whatever's going on in your kitchen cabinets.

So no need to protect your Tupperware. or those Corning Rare Cancerole dishes. Everything's cool there. One parent, very upset, said his son had no idea what any of the survey questions meant. But his son was he knew enough to get sick and grossed out.

I have no doubt about that. This story from Louisiana, Bosier Parish, Louisiana. It turns out that Ute pastors are allowed to visit students during the lunch hour. That's kind of a tradition in the South. I don't know if it's a tradition anywhere else in America, but.

In many public schools, they allow the Ute pastors to come in. and minister to the godless heathen urchins in the cafe gymnatoriums. But anyway, the school district has now set up some strict parameters.

So your Ute pastor is allowed to talk about sports. They can talk about the weather. They can talk about the latest, I don't know, video games, but they're not allowed to talk about Jesus.

So there was a big controversy at Benton Middle School. Where the youth pastor at Cypress Baptist Church got in trouble for inviting students to attend church.

So the way it works is they let the youth pastors come in at lunch period and it's always cool. You know, if you're a kid, your youth pastor shows up and you know they're cool and hip and you know, it's kind of a status thing in the South. And so normally, the youth pastor, if you're sitting there with some of your friends and the youth pastor would say, Hey, you know, we'd love to have you come to our Wednesday night, you know, Christian rock service or whatever. And that apparently is a big no-no.

So another student was sitting nearby. and she was eavesdropping. And she was listening in on the conversation. She clearly was not at the cool kids' table, she was at the godless heathen atheist table. And so this girl went home and immediately told her mommy, Mommy, mommy, they were talking about Jesus.

I got the heebie deebies. And so the mom then contacted the school and said, What's going on here? My daughter was eavesdropping. And she overheard them talking about Jesus. I'm sorry, ma'am.

What? No, you need to speak a lot. You see, the problem is the atheists, they can't say the name. And they get triggered.

So then the woman reaches out to the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and they get involved. And so the Freedom from Religion Foundation, that's that godless heathen bunch out of Wisconsin. I wonder if Jerry the Liberal knows them. No, he's in Milwaukee. They're in Madison.

Anyway, they always get triggered by the name of Jesus.

So the atheist accused the youth pastor of proselytizing.

So then the school district launches this investigation. And what they should have done is told the atheist to go take a fly and flip, but they did not do that.

So they reached out to, they got the attorneys involved. They did an investigation. They investigated the church. And then the attorneys wrote this incredibly long letter to the atheist. Repenting.

And they assured the atheist that that all Ute pastors from that day forward would be forbidden from discussing anything religious with the kids, all conversations must be secular in nature. I see.

So you're promoting secularism.

Now in the Schools in Bozier Parish, Louisiana, but not Christianity.

So, well, there you go. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number. That's 901-500. two six zero five nine two six.

Have you heard about this this woman or her she's a nineteen year old college kid. And she's a student there in Boston, going to school in Boston. And This is a terrible story.

So, um her family decided it would be fun to Bring her back home for the holidays for Thanksgiving. Her name is Lucia Lopez-Beloza, 19 years old. And so it was a big surprise.

Well, surprise, surprise, because it turns out that Lucia Is an illegal alien. And so when she got on board the flight at Boston's Logan International Airport, she was detained. And she's already been deported. Her father, Francis Lopez, doing an interview with the New York Slimes. Says that they had no idea there was an order for her deportation.

It turns out that mister Lopez had come to the country, Many Well, many years ago, actually. And they had applied for Uh amnesty. And they were denied. Actually, they came here in 2015. And so they were denied, and they didn't realize they needed to do anything else.

So at that point, they became illegal and just stayed in the country.

So now, um And the family says. that the reason they came here was because of crime and insecurity in Honduras, which is their home country. I guarantee you that their their town in Honduras was a lot safer than Memphis, Tennessee, which, by the way, we're very safe now. I think we are the officially the safest city in America.

So anyway, the family had applied for asylum. They were denied and they said they were never told they had to appeal to avoid a deportation order. My question, do they have attorneys? Do they reach out to any of the free resources available?

So now Now they're all concerned about not being able to visit with their daughter.

Well, I would contend that mister Lopez and the rest of the family may very well be in contact with the daughter because they're all here illegally.

Now it's a terrible thing. But the reality is The family was here Illegally. That's it. So now there's a big, it's a big story in the New York slimes. Everybody is, most people are saying.

that she should be allowed to come back. And look, I'm a pretty sympathetic person here. They applied for asylum. Maybe if they are, in fact, if their lives are in danger in their home country, there's a process for that. But you're telling me they've been here in this country ten years and they didn't do anything to try to get themselves legal?

I got a problem with that. All right, got to take a break. 901-260-5926. Hang tight. We'll be right back.

Sharon in Indiana. Sharon, well, first, great to have you with us.

So, does anybody there in the state actually call each other Indianians? No, we do not ever call anybody Indiana. I didn't think so. Oh, look, I'm from Tennessee and I knew that.

So, yeah. Right.

So where did Hoosier come from?

Well, according to my history book, that was a long, long time ago in high school. There's a little story in there saying that somebody walked into a house. and said the words Who's here? But with the accent, it came off more like who's here? Mm-hmm.

Oh, I mean that's what I've learned.

Well, that makes sense. And I actually did a little bit of research on this, and you're right. They're saying it's sort of, you know, the early settlers were saying who's years or who's here.

So, yeah, so I guess it evolved. into Hoosiers. That's right. Yeah, that's what I understand it. All right.

Well, hey, you know what, Sharon? I want to send you a copy of my book.

So hang tight. And we appreciate that. It also means, some people say it means. Hills, high hills, like Ooh, those got some big ol' Hoosiers.

So that's kind of weird. Anyway, thank you, Sharon, for a little bit of Indiana history there. We'll be right back, everybody. Still managing your rental business like a side hustle? Stop risking your cash flow.

Over 800,000 landlords use TurboTenet to streamline their rental operations for free. From finding tenants you trust to collecting rent on time. We've got you covered at Turbotenet.com. Uh Oh, boy. Dave Portnoy is plagiarizing.

Dylan, over the weekend, there was like a local. Did you see this dust-up between Lane Kiffen? It was after the game. And a lame kiffin, and this is a Mississippi State King. The egg bowl.

And I guess one of the local sports guys had basically said of Lane Kiffin, you can't turn a hoe into a housewife. I don't know how, but I've missed. How did you miss that?

So Kevin confronts the guy, and the guy was like after the game, and it's all on camera. I did see that video. I just didn't know what the content was. You can't turn a hoe into a housewife. And so then at the press conference, you know, the guy just, you know, they couldn't leave it be.

So now Portnoy is jumping in and referencing the can't turn a hoe into a housewife. Talking about Lane Kevin. Says that Kiffin is going to do basically, Kiffin is who he is.

So he has not turned over a new leaf. Is what it is. Can't turn a but is that true? I think you can turn a hoe into a housewife, right? I don't know if this scenario even adds up to that.

I don't know if it's the same at all. Maybe it is. They're saying that he's basically a rascal, and you can't turn a rascal into, like, you know. A deacon, I guess. You never know.

Let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Our good friend, the publisher at TriStarDaily.com, Steve Gild, joins us. Steve, can you turn a hoe into a housewife? Uh I see the fifth on that topic. We're just having a conversation.

It's just us guys having a conversation here. Anyway, it's just w you know, again, it's the the entire nation is talking about this Lane Kiffen move to LSU. I I'm not sure why anybody is surprised by what Kiffen did. I would do it for $100 million.

Well then nobody's questioning whether Lane Tiffany is a rascal. I mean, that's like if you look up Rascal in the dictionary, his pictures there. And all these people that are criticizing them, I would ask them, have you ever turned down a thirty percent pay raise in a promotion because you want to be loyal to getting paid less wherever you are. It's true. It's a fair point.

And would you rather be a $100 million hoe or a broke housewife? Yeah, been a short skirt out on Hollywood Boulevard. I mean, it's just. I'm going to play the fifth on that. Wow.

From hoes to politics. You know, Steve, I. Are you sure there's really elite there, Todd?

Well, that's well. Actually, it's a good point. That's why we're having a special election in the first place. Allegedly.

So, look, I just. I'm not getting this. Everybody's freaking out. I mean, President Trump's having to do this audio. He just called into the Mike Johnson meeting in Tennessee.

He's doing a teleconference thing tonight. I d are the Republicans really that nervous about losing this thing? I think that everything is set up for a perfect storm to cost them a seed. First of all, it's not a 22 plus Republican district. Donald Trump won it by 22, but that's Donald Trump.

The district now got redistricted to try and prevent Nashville, Middle Tennessee, Blue County from continuing to have a. Democrat congressman in the heart of Red State, Tennessee, they redistricted, they gerrymandered to make sure that there was a division of Nashville's county.

So it's about a plus 10 Republican district.

Now, that ought to be enough to win. Except You had early voting rolling into Thanksgiving week. You've got Election Day tomorrow, where most of the rural counties in this 14-county district. Don't have satellite boating areas. It's not like you go down to your local school and boat just up the street.

You have to drive in some of these counties 20, 30 miles to go vote at the county courthouse. And there may be snow tomorrow.

So it is the perfect storm.

Well what could be an upset, I think that Matt Van Epp still wins. Uh but the Republicans have really blown This election, first of all, when Governor Bill Lee, the Tennessee Republican governor, set the schedule to. Help his buddy Matt Van Epp get a quick race.

So the primary win. but then set the schedule over Thanksgiving week. And then the Republicans have all this great opposition research on this woke. Radical nut job, Aston Bain, who's the AOC of Tennessee. And they didn't roll it out essentially till early voting was coming to an end.

Why didn't this stuff roll out the day after the primary? I think you have to have drips and drabs so you can set the narrative. And again, I had never even heard of the guy until he won the primary, and nobody knew who the guy was. And I think that's a big thing: he does not have good name recognition. But the other issue, Steve, if you ask me right now, what does Matt Van Epp stand for?

Gosh, I couldn't tell you. I have absolutely no idea. And that's a problem because, as crazy as this person is, Afton Bain, I don't think voters are going out to vote against somebody. They want to vote for somebody. And the Matt Van Epps team hasn't done a really effective job Of communicating the affordability issue.

I don't think Republicans generally have. I mean, we need visuals. These guys all over the country need to be standing in front of gas stations where gas prices are now at or below three dollars and holding up pictures of Joe Biden with four dollars a gallon gas. They need to be posing with doll with the grocery carts filled to the brim and then one half as full showing what you could buy during the Biden years. People vote based on visuals, and I don't think Republicans nationally, or certainly in this race, Are communicating in the right Visual way.

The other thing is, Matt Van Fs, God bless him. He served in the U.S. military, was in the army, was a Helicopter pilot delivering special forces to the front lines. But this guy is not a Rambo character, and they keep emphasizing his military service when he comes up like Mr. Rogers wearing a sweater saying, Won't you be my neighbor?

He does not come off like Rambo. No, no, he really doesn't. And what I'm concerned about here is you have President Trump saying we've got a three, we have a three-person lead in the House right now, so we can't afford a loss here in Tennessee. you have Van Eps coming out right away and saying this is absolutely a bellwether election, so this is going to judge the mood of the country. I'm not sure I would have taken that leap on this particular race.

This is not a bellwether race. This is a Republicans shooting themselves in the foot. From the scheduling to the Republican County officials. Not setting up satellite voting areas. Davidson County, which is where the bulk of the Democrat blue votes come from.

At six. Satellite voting areas during early voting. Most of the other thirteen counties. had one place where voters could go vote.

So everything has been done almost to set up the win for the Democrats. They're pouring millions and millions of dollars into trying to steal this race.

Now, I do think that Aston Bain. Thumbs up just short. But even if Pat Van Epps wins by four or five points, The Democrats are going to screech and howl about how this shows. That Trump is not popular, that Republicans are on their heels, and they're gonna point to the number of Republicans that are choosing to exit the House. rather than to seek reelection as further proof.

But there's plenty to talk about in the months ahead about that.

Well, yeah, but but and they've got every right to be able to voice those thoughts, and that is going to be the takeaway.

So, again, we have got to we've got to really get it together. I've seen nothing from the RNC. It's almost as if they don't even exist, you know, on really nationwide. I haven't seen them getting engaged in anything. You're a guy of deep faith, and your listeners are very faith-based listeners.

And yet you've got this Afton Dane woman running in the buckle of the Bible belt who has expressed her view that she was really feels uncomfortable about prayer. She's out there not only advocating killing babies, but doing seminars instructing women on how they can do it themselves rather than having to go to a doctor. She's pro-trans. He is antithetical to everything the vast majority of voters in this district, in this state, believe. And yet, yesterday, pastors in churches all across this district were not urging their Congregations to go vote to stop this evil in our midst.

Because too many of our pastors, God, are too scared to speak the truth because they don't want to offend that guy in the third row that's their major donor. Steve Gill, the publisher of TriStarDaily.com, joining us. And Steve, again, it's not just in Tennessee. We're seeing something happening across the nation, and I don't like it. You've got over the weekend, Troy Nels in Texas.

He is the fourth Republican in Congress in Texas to announce his retirement. These are not old people we're talking about here. He first got elected in 2020. And again, it's just something is going on up on Capitol Hill. I've never seen this number of people saying, you know what, that's it, I'm out of here.

Yeah, some are very elderly, but Senator Joni Ernst in Iowa, she's only 55. Nels is not elderly.

Now, there are about two dozen Republicans in the House. They're exiting because they're running for other office. They're running for Attorney General. They're running for Lieutenant Governor. They're running for Governor like Don Rose.

In Tennessee, Senator Marshall Blackburn in Tennessee is leaving to run for governor in Tennessee. Tommy Tobelville in Alabama leading the Senate to run for governor of Alabama.

So ambition is driving some of them. But some of them are clearly just fed up with the lack of progress in Washington. And who can blame them? The lack of progress? Congressman Tim Burchett in Tennessee constantly points out.

that we are continuing to fund the Taliban in Afghanistan with $40 million a week in taxpayer dollars, and the Senate is not acting on it.

So again, even to get something squeezed by in the House, we can't get the Senate to even stop funding terrorists in Afghanistan who've been. Came to our country and are killing National Guardsmen in D.C. I mean, the Senate is broken and the House is not much better. No, it's I think you've you're raising some good points here. When you again look though at the RNC for leadership, I haven't heard from those I d I haven't I can't even tell you right now who's running the show over there.

Yeah, when Mera Trump was was the co chairman, we at least knew who was was heading things up and there were some successes. But I I'm with you talk I couldn't even tell you who the RNC fair is. And you don't have to always have a celebrity in charge, but you better have better. groundwork, you better have better communications. And you better have more energy than we're seeing out of Republicans in the nation right now, because that is the formula for defeat in the midterms.

It's a fair point, and we cannot let that happen.

So we're going to have to. We're going to have to buckle down. Going to have to buckle down. All right, Steve Gill, appreciate you as always. Great analysis.

And again, TriStarDaily.com is Steve's website. Go and check it out. New content, fresh content every single day. They're at TriStarDaily.com. All right, Steve, thank you.

Thanks, Don. Ooh, mercy. It's yeah, that's. I'm curious, you folks in the Houston area. I know Nels represents parts of our listening audience out there.

It's um It's concerning. It's concerning that we've got so many conservatives leaving Congress. And we've just got to make I think his twin brother is going to run, though.

So there's that going on. All right, we're going to take a quick break here. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starring Show.

Still managing your rental business like a side hustle? Stop risking your cash flow. Over 800,000 landlords use TurboTenant to streamline their rental operations for free. From finding tenants you trust to collecting rent on time. We've got you covered at turbotenent.com.

You know, we've been trying to figure out what's been happening over at the FBI, just weird stuff going on. And there is a brand new report out from the New York Post: Miranda Devine. Miranda's one of us, she's a conservative. And the fact that she's reporting on this Is a bit disturbing.

So, this is a 115-page report first reported by Miranda Devine of the New York Post. This is coming from the National Alliance of Retired and Active Duty. FBI special agents and They're targeting Um for their uh coverage here, Cash Batel, the FBI director. Which we've and we've many of you have called in and you've you've shared concerns about Patel. and to some extent Dan Bongino, but mostly Cash Patel, that something was just off.

Now among some of the allegations made here is that Cash Patel refused to leave a plane until someone got him a medium sized FBI jacket, This was when he flew out to Utah. following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And the the according to the report, there were plenty of large and extra large jackets available, but Patel insisted on a medium sized jacket, Agents scrambled to find him one. And while they were busy working on the shooting, eventually a female FBI special agent gave him. a jacket that fit his requirements.

Patel then refused to leave the plane again after noticing it was missing a few Velcro patches. A couple members of the FBI SWAT team found the patches he wanted, ran them over to the airport, and Patel finally departed the plane.

Now some of you might think, well, that's a little petty. Yeah, it is petty. Uh but it does give you some insight. into how Patel views himself. And it it it it's sort of weird to see him showing up at these crime scenes, you know, in in the FBI, you know, regalia when in fact normally the FBI director does not do that, and normally they're wearing a suit.

Very rarely would you see the FBI director out in the field. You know, as if he's the one who solved all these crimes. You know, Hoover did that, Jay Edgar, back in the day. FBI agents laughed at Patel for ordering the removal of pronouns and messages from email signatures, even though his email signature contained his own. Message The report by The New York Post goes on to say the FBI is paralyzed by a lack of confidence in leadership and a general feeling of mistrust and uncertainty.

The mistrust has been exacerbated by Patel's criticism of the FBI before he took over. It's just always been my impression of the FBI. Number one, it's. It's gone. It's too far gone.

You've got to dismantle it, defund it. Rebuild it. And it needs to be rebuilt somewhere other than Washington, D.C. That's just me, but it's a complete mess, and it has been.

Now, the FBI, we understand Patel is upset. After a catching wind, that a few dozen FBI agents discussed his request to be issued an FBI firearm. Agents had mixed opinions on the matter.

Some agreed he should have one, others did not. The director says the discussion was leaked. And ordered those agents to submit to polygraph examinations to determine their involvement.

Well, actually, I got no problem with that, none whatsoever. Can't have people leaf leaking stuff. Another report from the New York Post, Bongino, disgusted agents when he declared the truth is for chumps. Several FBI agents were shocked when Bongino told personnel at a Western FBI office that the truth is for Trump's. It's unclear what the content, context rather, was for the statement, but one agent.

said he was offended and appalled by the comet. Several others said they were stunned by it. Just some of the Some of the more scurrilous allegations in this report. All that to say, I don't care if Cash Patel and Dan Pongino are offending people at FBI headquarters. I don't care about that.

You know what I do care about? I care about the fact that they've got to start delivering on all these promises they made. We're almost a year into the Trump Presidency, and we haven't seen diddly squat coming out of the FBI. And I want to say one more thing. Coming up in the next hour, we're going to get into the color revolution.

That's a phrase that you're going to be hearing a lot of. I am very concerned that we are not getting the full story on what really happened to Charlie Kirk. Seriously. And that concerns me. And every day that goes by, I do wonder more and more.

If there was a much larger plot to take Charlie Kirk out of the picture. All right, gotta take a break here. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-600. 260-5926.

You know, I I'm marveling at this White House press score. These people. For they're all upset over President Trump, and they're demanding all of these MRI results, and they want all of this very particular information about President Trump's. Health. And look, the reality here is.

The man's old. What are you gonna? What are you gonna? What do you want me to tell you? The man is old.

Which means that, you know what, some days are going to be great, some days not so great. But the truth is that Donald Trump can He can run circles around the entire press score. Does the guy get tired and exhausted? Absolutely. And I would challenge any of you, when you look at this man's schedule, I don't know how he does it.

I don't even know 50-year-olds that would be able to keep up this routine at this level. It's really remarkable. But everybody is in the press corps going nuts. They're thinking that Trump is slipping, that there's cognitive decline. Have you seen any cognitive decline at all in the president?

I watched the guy pretty closely. I mean, it's clear he's wearing some sort of a leg brace every now and again. And there was some sort of an issue with circulation in his legs. But again, the guy's he's an old man. What are you gonna what do you want me to tell you?

He still has a great golf game. He's still able to think off, you know, on his feet. He's able to, he's great with the one-liners. I mean, mentally, the guy's all there. But again, I mean, when he was up at 1:30, 1.45 in the morning.

watching Newsmax, which is when he we he uh gave me a shout out about my book. How many of you folks are up at 1:30 in the morning? Dylan, don't raise your hand. But this is insane.

So, the Fox News reporting on all of this. The writer Emma Colton. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt releasing details on President Trump's MRI scan conducted in October. Reading the results of the examination during Monday's press briefing that showed he was in good health. You know that's not going to be good enough for these people.

How do we know it's not? How do we know it's a fake? It could be a fake. Trump's health has fallen under increasing scrutiny from the media in recent months. Including when it was revealed that Trump underwent a second routine physical for the year in October.

which included an MRI scan. Levitt reported the medical imaging procedure found Trump as healthy. The purpose of the imaging is preventative to identify any issues early. confirm overall health and ensure the President maintains long-term v vitality and function. Levitt goes on to say: President Trump's cardiovascular imaging was perfectly normal.

No evidence of arterial narrowing, impairing blood flow, or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels. The heart chambers are normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no signs of inflammation or clotting. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health.

So, what's the problem here? I'll tell you what the problem is. These Yahoos in the White House press briefing room turned a blind eye to a man who literally talked to dead people from the podium. Joe Biden literally thought dead people were in the audience, and nobody thought that was weird. Oh, that's just Joe B.

and Joe. Remember when he was overseas at one of the G G eight meetings, or whatever. And he was over there. They were getting ready for the photo. And the next thing you know, our President, the Commander in Chief, the leader of the Free World, is wandering into the woods traipsing after Idle Know Daisies.

And it was the poor Italian Prime Minister. Joe, Joe, over here, Joe. She had to run and get Joe. or he would have walked into the woods and gotten eaten by a bear.

Okay, a panda. Regardless. How bad is it that nobody in the press corps thought that was a weird thing? The fact that Joe Biden would actually fall up the stairs. Nobody thought that's a weird thing.

Anybody? Nobody th nobody in the press corps thought that was like I don't know, unusual or somewhat troubling? The fact that Joe Biden I'll never forget this one. He actually mistook his wife for his sister. That would have been awkward.

Oh, by the way, did you see the video over the weekend? Doctor First Lady Mrs. Jill Biden walking into a lingerie shop. Many of us wished we had not seen that. Don't let your minds wander, America.

Don't let your mind wander.

So there you have it. President Trump is in good working condition. I don't know what else to tell these people. But the idea, they're thinking that Donald Trump is slipping. Yeah, I'm not seeing that at all.

901-260-5926, and our telephone number, that's 901-500. two six zero five nine two six. So, um This situation With illegal aliens, it's worse than we actually thought.

So we're getting some new intel. Are you ready for these numbers? The Biden administration issued social security numbers. to a number of illegals. In 2021, Nearly three hundred thousand.

In twenty twenty two, nearly six hundred thousand. In 2023, nearly a million. Twenty twenty-four More than two million. More than two million. 1.4 million illegals on Medicaid.

And millions received driver's licenses, were allowed to register to vote. and actually voted in elections. We're talking about millions, ladies and gentlemen, millions. This is insanity. What this administration was able to do.

And thank God for Donald Trump. Thank God that Donald Trump is putting a stop to all of this. In my understanding it is so quiet, so quiet on the border right now, it's a beautiful place. Oh, here we go.

Now this information coming in from the White House press briefing that's going on as you and I are speaking here. It turns out that Governor Tim Waltz Is in hot water. According to a bombshell report, The Somalian migrants in Minnesota have defrauded the American taxpayers by nearly $1 billion. That's billion with a B. Not million, billion, ladies and one billion dollars.

of your tax money. All of this happening under Governor Tim Waltz. Which is why, by the way, Donald Trump called him retarded.

Now, this is a big deal. And I say that because Donald Trump came under fire. because he used the word retarded to describe Tim Waltz. But it seems to me if in fact You have Somali migrants and they defrauded the government to the tune of more than $1 billion, and you did nothing about it, or you didn't know about it. Yeah, I think there's a pretty good chance that you are retarded.

President Trump said there's something wrong with that guy.

So in Indiana right now, there's been a huge debate. Over redistricting.

Now let me explain this to you. The midterms could be disastrous.

So we need all the help we can get. And the reality is that Democrats have been gerrymandering congressional districts for decades, and Republicans have done nothing about it. Republicans have lost many, many, many, many seats.

Now, Texas announced they would redistrict to benefit Republicans, the Republican Party. I believe the numbers were five or six seats that you people in Texas were going to pick up that would have been going towards the Republicans.

So, what happened?

Well, California Governor Gavin Newscomb said, okay, fine, we're going to retaliate. We're going to do the same things, and we're going to eliminate five Republican seats, which is what they're doing.

So, a lot of the other states decided: okay, we're going to play that game. You want to play that game, Democrats? We will play that game.

So Indiana, which is rock solid Republican. had the opportunity. And they took a pass. And you know why? I'll tell you why.

Because you've got a bunch of rhino Republicans that hate Donald Trump. And one of these guys His name is Michael Boachek. and he serves in the Indiana Senate. And Senator Boachek is butt hurt and the reason why Well, let me explain what he's going to do. He's going to block the gerrymandering plan backed by President Trump.

And the reason why is because he said that he called Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz retarded.

Now Boajek says he has a daughter with intellectual disabilities. And he was offended By President Trump's Language. And as a result of that, he will be voting against it.

So he wants to. Punish, this is insane. He wants to punish the president. By giving control of the House of Representatives over to the Democrats. And this is what the guy text, he wrote this.

This is his statement, Senator Bowacek. I will be voting no on redistricting. Perhaps Trump can use the next ten months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.

So this guy is butt hurt. And he's literally willing to give Democrats control of the House because he got his feelings hurt.

So Uh I want you to think about this for a moment. Boachek's daughter Apparently, she has some sort of she's on the spectrum or something of that nature, intellectual disabilities.

So he wants to give control of Congress over to the political party that believes people like his daughter should be aborted. Does any of that make sense to you at all? This is insanity. Oh, by the way. This boach, dude.

pled guilty earlier this year. To He worked out a plea deal. He got a one-year suspended sentence and 20-day license suspension. This guy admitted to operating a vehicle under the influence of Booze.

So, this is not exactly a saint of a human being here, this guy. Oh, he also used to be a Democrat.

Something tells me he still is.

So, there you go. This is happening in Indiana. I wish I could say that I'm surprised here. I am not, but there are a number of other Republicans that are willing to stand in the way and block all of this.

So, I don't think we're going to be able to count on Indiana to do the right thing. All right, we've got to take a break. 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-2600. 260-5926. May I tell you about our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line?

Even the folks over at PMS Now are they thinking, wow, what is going on in Minnesota right now? You've got these Somalis stealing billions of tax dollars, and a lot of that money was actually funneled to Somali terrorists. The New York Times has the explosive story. Cut number two, please. Dozens of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from government programs during COVID.

As you know, Governor, that is more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department of Corrections.

So I want to give you a chance to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state?

Well, certainly, I take responsibility for putting people in jail. Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to solve problems. And I will note, it's not just Somalis. Minnesota is a generous state.

Minnesota is a prosperous state, a well-run state where AAA bond rated. But that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're doing everything we can. But to demonize an entire community on the actions of a few, it's lazy.

No, it's not lazy and it's not a few, guv'nor. Again, retarded.

So, Breitbart has a piece up. And by the way, this is the New York Times, the opening line of the New York Times article on this. The fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota was staggering in its scale and brazenness.

So this is this is not just your run of the mill welfare fraud. I mean, this is insane. Reitbart writing, there have been an astounding series of cases of hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud in state welfare, housing, health care, food, COVID relief and other programs, much of it centered on members of the Somali community. The fraud has been so endemic in Minnesota that even the unusually far left Times is joining Breitbart News and calling it out. Indeed, the Times even noted that early on many liberals waived off the fraud as one off abuse.

But as each new case rolled out from Federal prosecutors, the sense of alarm has grown and the blame is undeniable. This is from the New York Times. Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say. Fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota Somali of the Minnesota Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up comp companies that build state agencies for millions of dollars. Pardon me, and to sneeze.

They billed state agencies for millions of dollars worth of social services that were never provided. The paper does not spare exposure. of the Somali community. McAllister College Professor Ahbed Samatar, a Somali native, said the fraud among Minnesota's Somali migrants should not be surprising. The Times added that Somali refugees who came to the United States after their country's civil war were raised in a culture in which stealing from the country's dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread.

So full stop here.

So what we need to do is this. Take whoever was responsible, whoever was responsible for this, they need to be deported along with their families. Send them right back to Somalia. Every single one of 'em. If in fact this is the culture, and as we have seen, With a lot of these 21st-century migrants, they're not coming here to assimilate.

They're coming here to steal and to take over the country. That's it. And that's what we're seeing in Minnesota right now. Unbelievable. One of the first cases centered around an organization called Feeding Our Future.

Prosecutors say the organizers built $250 million from the state in food assistance funding.

Well, this story is far from over.

Well, we're going to talk more about it tonight, 5 o'clock. On Newsmax, so be sure to tune in there. All right, we've got to call it today, folks. ToddSterns.com. Go check it out.
