Granger for the ones who get it done. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. Bye. Yeah. I'm sorry.

Love is American. And hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Extravaganza broadcasting border to border, coast to coast. Across the fruited plain. Your voice of truth, hope, and reason, ladies and gentlemen.

And Lord knows we need a lot of that these days. Hello, everybody. Wow, what a day as we look at a couple of big, big stories that are happening across the country. We're going to be taking your calls as well. I want you to write down our telephone number.

You will need this if you plan on calling into the program today. 901-260-5926. Again, 901-260-5926. By the way, we are delighted to welcome Congressman Tim Burchett to the show a little bit later on this hour. The Congressman was just appointed as chairman of the House Doge Committee.

Let me just tell you something about Tim Burchett. That guy's the real deal, and he's not going to be messing around at all.

So we're going to be getting to the bottom of a lot of this stuff that's been going on in Washington. Also, Congresswoman Mary Miller is going to be here. She is now calling for the president. To intervene in what's happening in Minnesota.

So we'll be talking to the Congresswoman about that and other stories. And our good buddy Josh Jones weighs in on the news of the day. Coming up in just a little while. You know, one of the interesting stories we've been following. Are the developments involving illegals?

And there is a situation in. Um of all places, Macomb County. Which is in Michigan, Macomb County, Michigan. And it turns out that they've discovered, at least the county clerk has discovered. That there are hundreds and hundreds of of illegals In the jury pool, which is against the law.

So the county clerk is issuing a statement here. And I want to share this information because if this is happening in Macomb County, Michigan, Than it's happening in every other town, every other community in America.

So they found over 239 non-citizens in the jury pool. And that is just during a four-month period of time.

Now, get this: 14 of those people were actually registered to vote. and at least one had voted in numerous elections. You say, well, how is that possible?

Well, when you apply for a driver's license in Michigan, it turns out that you, the Joe Blow citizen, are immediately, automatically registered to vote. According to the clerk's office, from September 5th through January the eighth. His staff found hundreds of people in the jury pool. Who self-reported that they were not US citizens.

So these are only the self-reported ones, all right? He said those people received a jury summons, and that's when they reported that they could not serve because they are not a citizen. Oh, to be able to get out of jury-duty pathway. Hmm, how about that?

So the jury pool, reading from the Detroit Free Press here, the jury pool is generated from the Michigan Secretary of State's Driver's License Database and those with State IDs. Individuals who are legally present in the U.S. can get driver's licenses or state IDs in Michigan. In a cross-check, they found 14 of these non-citizens were registered to vote. At some point, okay, have those people been arrested?

And by the way, all the non-citizens. Were they rounded up and had they been deported? That is a great question.

Now, um Congressman Joseph Aragona is a Republican whose district represents part of that area. of Michigan. He said this is a serious issue that needs to be on.

Well, of course, it's a serious issue. He's a state rep, by the way. A spokesperson for the Secretary of State's office says they regularly investigate reports of voter fraud. I don't believe that to be the case. As a matter of fact, ladies and gentlemen, I would contend That if you were to do a deep dive, In many of these blue states and cities, you would discover that.

A number of elections were lost that should have gone to the Republicans, but went to Democrats because of the number of illegals who were actually voting. Just want to point that out.

So, again, elections. have consequences. She's a low. All right, we have a story out of Tennessee, and I just love this. My video's gone viral.

I think Libs of TikTok shared it. And I've got to share this with you because this really does illustrate exactly what our law enforcement has been dealing with, these federal agencies. First of all, I want to clear something up. Many of I was getting some nasty mail over the past couple of days, which is not all that unusual, but people are very upset over the way I have described. These protesters.

How dare you? You're just a big meanie, Steins. You're a big meanie. Who do you think you are, mocking those women?

Well, first of all, I'm not mocking those women. Oh, yes, you are. No, I'm not. I'm actually. Quite frankly, factually describing them.

And dare I say, rather accurately.

So, when I tell you that one of the protesters or the protesters in general are these gals of girth. With weathered skin. And purple hair, I mean what I say. I'll give you an example. Just the other day, a woman in Memphis was arrested because she was in the street causing mayhem.

And sure enough, this is one of those gals of girth And sure enough, she has purple hair.

So, anyway, There was another incident at this big rally where the mob of anti-ICE protesters stormed the streets, and they're doing this all over the country. A lot of people are wondering: okay, do these people actually have jobs? That is a fair question. I mean, I don't know about you, but after I wrap up my day's work, and I normally put in my day starts at five in the morning. And it normally ends about 6 o'clock at night.

That's Monday through Friday. And then after I go home and eat dinner, I'll start writing and doing things of that nature and doing show preps.

So, but. Office hours would be about 5 a.m. until 6 p.m. at night. Dylan, are you tired already?

Could you use a nap? I'm tired of hearing how much work you do. But what I'm trying to say is when I go home, though. I don't have the energy to go out and march in the streets and do all this other stuff. No, because you've been working all day.

I've been working all day. Thank you very much.

So, I'm not trying to be braggadocious. I'm trying to. Put things into context.

So when all of these people are out there, And they're protesting in the streets, and they're doing it in the morning and the afternoon. How is it these people, are we looking at tens of thousands of people that cannot find work? Is that what's going on here? I digress.

So anyway, this guy alleged, and this is what these protesting groups are alleging in Memphis, is that the Tennessee Highway Patrol ran over one of the protesters. And that is a horrible thing. I mean, you don't want that to happen. Nobody wants to be a hood ornament, right? It's very unpleasant.

Normally, lots of broken bones and injuries and whatnot.

So, anyway, everybody's sort of horrified. Jeez, what's going on here? I know the Tennessee Highway Patrol guy said that, by and large, they don't run people over.

So we got the video, and if you go to my Facebook page, you'll be able to watch the video for yourself. And it is quite extraordinary because it turns out, ladies and gentlemen, this particular Highway Patrol cruiser was armed with a dash cam video. and it captured everything. As a matter of fact, one of the state representatives, we call him State Rep State Rep Power Fro, his name is Justin Pearson, and he has the largest afro known to mankind. And he's enraged over all of this because he says that the poor protester, the innocent bystander, was rammed.

Rammed. Rammed by the highway patrolman. S shocking allegations. But now we have the video. And the video shows an interesting thing.

It shows this moron, this Yahoo. This soy boy, and that's what this guy is. He's a dude, soy boy, literally running, racing into the street. And you see the Highway Patrol Cruiser come to a screeching halt. And then the guy walks up to the front of the cruiser, the police cruiser.

and commences to pretend to flop over. Have you ever seen have you ever seen the fainting goats? You know those goats and they're just there and the next thing you know they literally just flop over on their side. Have you? No, you haven't?

Okay. Have you ever seen LeBron James on the basketball court? And maybe, just maybe he just, a whiff of air brushes beside him, and the next thing you know, he's splattered out on the court. The LeBron James, the LeBron James. That guy is LeBron James.

Nobody came within a mile of touching the guy and he sprawled out and then, just like the fainting goats, as quickly as they pass out, the guy literally just jumps right back up and scurries on his way. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what law enforcement has to deal with every single day. These people, they need psychiatric help. That's what they need. That's what they need.

They need a padded room. But I want to say something about the law enforcement. And I don't know where you are when you listen to this program. I don't know if you're a federal officer or you work for the county or the state or you're a police officer walking the beat. All I can tell you is, God love you, and you have nothing but our respect on this program.

Because what's happening right now to law enforcement? And when you see When you see how these Angry white women, and let me just say something here. This is predominantly an angry white woman issue. Right. These for what these far leftist And again, they don't have husbands, and it's understandable at this point.

I'm not sure what kind of a guy would want to even attempt to marry into something like that. I don't get it. But most of them can't find husbands. They've been They've been ostracized because of their foul behavior and possibly odor. They eat everything in sight, and they're just very unpleasant people.

They don't have to be that way, but they are, and somebody needs to tell them that. I mean, every now and again, we'll get one of the big bone gals and they'll call the show, and I'll try to, and, you know, they're very mean and nasty, and it sort of just oozes out of them. like the meat sweats. And You know, you're trying to talk to 'em and try to talk some sense and you know, well Well, maybe you could get a I don't know, maybe you could get a boyfriend if you I don't want to take a shower, you know. I mean.

Use some palm olive. Or industrial cleaner. I don't know. Or, you know what? How about just smiling every now and again?

Why do you always have to scowl? Why can't you just. Smile and be happy. Why don't you go down to, I don't know, Walmart and buy some clothes? You know, you know.

Um Yeah. Mm-hmm. No, I'm not even painting with a broad brush. It's who they are. But there is a big problem in this country with these liberal women.

These feminazis And they're unhinged. I saw some video. I'm going to get back to the police in a minute. I saw some video last night.

Somebody sent this to me. And there was one of these unhinged leftist loons, and she's in her su she's in a subaru. And the officer is like knocking on the window. Ma'am, I need you to roll down your window, please. I gotta talk to you.

No, I'm not gonna do it. You're gonna shoot me, aren't you? You wanna shoot me, don't you? You wanna shoot me?

Well, I'm not gonna let you shoot me. You're like Ma'am, um ma'am, I just want to let you know you've got a Starbucks cup on your On the top of your car. That's all. You put it there, didn't you? You mean the hand.

These are very Yeah. These are very sick people, very sick ladies, we're talking about here. And I don't know what it is. They're in a perpetual cycle and they're stuck there. And I think everybody is in danger.

Everybody, this is the clear and present danger. I don't even think the Islamic radicals are as dangerous as a woman who is stuck in this cycle, right? I'm just being honest. Are you okay, Dylan? You're.

Perpetual cycle. I'm just saying. That's what it seems like. There's got to be something wrong. Wow.

I can't think of any other thing.

So all that to say. You police officers out there, man, I wouldn't want your job in a million years. I get it. I feel for you. I really do.

But ladies and gentlemen. The attacks being directed at our law enforcement right now are just unacceptable. They really are. They would have you believe if you are watching the news. Watching these pundits, they would literally have you believe that a police officer is getting up right now, getting ready, they're putting on their uniform, getting ready to do their shift.

And the only thing on their minds is: I wonder if I'm going to be able to shoot somebody today. That's what they want you to think. When in reality, that law enforcement officer just really wants to help people. That law enforcement officer wants to save lives. And the only thing going through that guy's mind is.

Lord, I sure hope I get to come home to my family tonight. That's the only thing that law enforcement officer is thinking about. That's it. All right, we've got to take a break here, and we've got to figure out a solution to this white woman problem. We really do.

901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stardust Show. Every so often, a film comes along that challenges us to look closer at what's happening in our own backyard. Sexploited is that film, a gripping new four-part docuseries that uncovers the reality of sexual exploitation happening in every community in America.

You will hear from survivors, law enforcement, and advocates who are fighting to expose and end this modern-day slavery. It's not easy to watch, but it's something every American needs to see. You can stream Sexploited right now or purchase the DVD by visiting sexploitedfilm.com or SalemNow.com. That's sexploitedfilm.com or SalemNow.com. Watch it, share it, and stand with those working to bring freedom and justice to the exploited.

I don't know, maybe they could come up with a pill for that, right? I mean, and I mean, it could be that there are enough liberal women out there. That maybe the pharmaceutical industry could come up with something. Shanklin says, actually, it's an inverted cycle. They are normal one day out of 28.

Okay. Well, thank you for that, Shanklin. Um, okay.

So, look, here's the deal. And in all seriousness, when you're. You're looking at these liberals. This is our nation's education system. When you see What these people are doing, how they're behaving.

And by the way, it's who would have thought now that white lives actually matter? I mean, all the people marching in Minneapolis and Minnesota, who knew? Who knew? But the nation's education system And the national media to some extent, but not all that much. Maybe social media.

They have taught generations, two generations of young people, not to trust. law enforcement, and not to respect their authority.

So when you you see these ki th the woman, for example, who refused to roll down her I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna roll down my window because I don't have to and I don't want to. Meh. This is a product of upbringing.

Now when I was growing up, and I don't know, maybe I was unique to this, maybe you your parents did the same thing. I was taught to respect law enforcement. As a matter of fact, when Todd Stearns was a little Cub Scout, one of the first field trips we took was to the local jail. And I remember the sheriff in DeSoto County, Mississippi, saying, All right, little seven-year-olds. If you disobey your mommy, we're throwing you in the slammer.

And we were all very well behaved children after that. All that to say is that our parents taught us right from wrong, and our parents. They had this mindset that little Billy or little Sally may not necessarily be honest with you.

So when the teacher said, Hey, little Todd is acting up in class, mommy and daddy were prone to believe the teacher. Those days are gone now, gone. We need to bring them back. All right, 901-260-5926 coming up. Our good friend, Congressman Tim Burchick.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Losing weights getting harder and harder as you get older, and it's not your fault. You're eating better, you're moving more, but your body isn't responding anymore. The harder you try, the less progress you see.

Tell them Todd sent you. Um All right, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have you with us. And there is a lot of stuff happening up on Capitol Hill. A lot of it is really not good.

But there is one great thing that happened. Our good friend, Congressman Tim Burchett, a guest host of the Todd Stearns Radio Show, is now chairman of the Doge Committee. And the congressman joins us today on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Congressman, congratulations.

Well, thank you, brother. As I've said many times, a blind hog gets an acorn every now and then. I guess I got that acorn. I don't know. I think a lot of people are angry about it.

We'll see you. If they don't rent me off. Try to run me off, but um I'm going in. John's Weisen.

Well, I think that's the only way you can. And I know that we're really up against the clock. You've got the midterm elections coming, and the reality is, aside from that big, beautiful bill. Really, we haven't seen a lot happen up in Washington. That's correct.

We've shut the border down and we've done things like that. I think one of the problems we have, and as I've told our our executive growth up here I said, you know, we're terrible at messaging. And then they're still listing in their eight-track tape players and their 72 gremlins with their. 1972 JCPenney leisure suits on, pretty much, it seems to me. Um and you can't get them to change anything.

And so that's why I kind of do my own thing as far as messaging. And we've really excelled at that with the Twitter or X and Facebook and everything else that we've been doing, pushing a lot lately. But I'm going to focus on some new things. In the past, the way they do it is they'd have a meeting, you know, the committee meeting and Jasmine Crockett and Marjorie and everybody would get into it and that's part of the charm of Congress, I guess. But I'm going to try to steer away from that.

We don't really propose a lot of real legislation. We talk about it, and then individual members do their thing. And I'm going to actually propose committee. legislation. And the way I'm going to do it, in the past, they would say the You gotta do a a study committee on this, and it takes you a year to get your information back.

And by then, you moved on to another bright, shiny object.

Well, the GAO, which is the office, one of the offices that's tasked with doing these studies has just Warehouses. I mean, it's like the the I've said it before, it's like the the end scene in the original Raiders of the L Lost Ark movie. Where they, you know, took the Ark of the Covenant. I think that's where all our. Committee studies go, and I've been in Congress eight years, and I've never ever seen one of those.

those committee Um studies.

So I'm going to go get those studies. that we know they've done, and we've got some already in the hopper. And those are the we're going to start off there. And then we're going to have a committee meeting over that, and then we're going to propose legislation. And if the chairman, and these are Republicans.

If they do not Want to move ahead with the legislation, I will publicly embarrass them because I don't care. We're $38 trillion in debt. It just keeps going up another. another trillion dollars every hundred days or less. And You know, I'm just tired of it, God.

I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the talk. I think America's tired of the talk. And You know, they're going to start going after me, and I get it. The big boys aren't going to like this, but that's not the way we've always done it around here.

Well, they're right. Because the way we've always done it around here has gotten us in deeper and deeper in debt. The Democrats, they do it on social programs, you know. Woke crazy stuff all over the world, exporting our brand of liberalism. And then the Republicans, we get in there and we We tend to do it around the military and other things.

Yesterday, we had three bills up on the floor. I voted against every dad gum one of them. we were outlawing something that was already illegal, but they just created more or less a department to do it, and it cost a billion dollars. And then you go I'm sorry, it costs it costs several million. Another bill.

dealing with something we were dealing another country with, Africa. and Heidi. And those two bills combination of them was over a billion, and nobody pays any attention to it. And it just keeps happening and happening. And I think we've got to We got to call it out.

I don't care if it's our own party. We just got to call it out. We cannot. keep going off this cliff, and I'm afraid that's what's getting ready to happen.

Well, you know, I think a lot of people, congressmen, are just beyond outraged and frustrated when they see what the Somali people are getting in Minnesota when their own loved ones are not able to get the same sort of resources or benefits. And people are just tired of it. And we see the hearings all the time. And I don't mean this to be negative at all. I mean, the Republicans throw amazing hearings.

They're entertaining. I mean, you got your popcorn, your Dr. Pepper. I'm watching it. But nothing ever happens.

I mean, it's just like the Justice Department. Nobody's being held accountable for anything, even trying to sabotage a duly elected president of these United States. Yeah, yeah, we don't have the guts to do it because it it cuts both ways on these things. You're finding out too many times that People in both parties, from what I understand, have family members that work for these NGOs. Say, oh, wait a minute, we can't cut all of them.

Cut them all out and let's start over. Cut them all out. And then let's 'cause it's not it's it's Everybody up here wants to come up here and. and and get the it's a trash can. They just want to pick and choose Ma'am, we need to turn this thing upside down and put a garden hose to it.

And start going because that is the only way we're going to fix this thing, Todd. It's got to we got to gut it and start over. Until we decide we're going to do that, It's never going to change because You plug this hole over here, and then you got a bigger hole over here. You just got to stop it all. And that's why Trump.

It shut the dadgum border down. we're going to run into some problems with labor and things like that. But I think what you're going to find in the long run, Americans are going to have jobs. and the housing market's going to open back up because you're not you're not having people that are stacked twelve to a room. and it's going to allow Americans to get back in the market.

On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line with this Congressman Tim Burchett, Congressman, of course, now we're looking at yet another government shutdown, and the Democrats are basically going to hold the country hostage, either defund ICE and all these other issues, or they're going to shut it down. What's the latest? But whatever their polling data shows, I think the Democrats are just trying to hold on to their very. slippery base right now. And the Democrat Party is not.

It's not the party of Truman. It's sure as heck ain't even the party of Bill Clinton anymore, maybe Hillary Clinton. They sold out to the Marxists as They're a guy the guy out of um Out of New York, I forget his name, you know, and Crockett and Man Domi. They're all. They're all um that that's the spokesman for this for this party.

It's not And it's a rudderless ship. The only thing, yeah, Mandani, I'm sorry, I said the guy, I said Maduro, I'm thinking of a Venezuelan dictator. Not much daylight between those two, to be honest with you. Not not really. They're both communists and they're both corrupt.

And I think they've they've allowed them to the people around them have have bought into this nonsense. But yeah, we're in a We're in a real mess. The Democrats are in worse, in a worse mess, and they're just trying to hold on to their They're very small. majority of the minority that they have. And they're forgetting the working people.

And that's why you're seeing a lot of the labor groups going with Trump. on these on a lot of stuff now. Congressman, before we let you go, I know that there are a lot of caucuses up on Capitol Hill that you guys join. Of course, House Freedom Caucus, the Republican Study Committee. Is there a shredding conference for skateboarders up on Capitol Hill?

Well, there's actually a couple of us that do that ride skateboards. And you know, it's crazy. I s I made that skateboard for Tulshi Gabbard. And then I've tried. And I thought, well, dang, this is pretty cool.

People want these things all over all over the world now. And I said, Well, maybe I'll sell it to you. I'm a capitalist, you know, from 10 to 10 o'clock at night till 4 in the morning, I usually don't sleep much. And then I I that's when I do my work. I always tell people it's cheaper than a psychiatrist.

So they'll see ethics and they're like, oh, you gotta do this, you gotta do that. You know, you got to form an LLC, you got to put it in your wife's name. I said, so let me get this straight. If I want to do insider stock trading, I can become a member of Congress. But if I want to sell a dad gum skateboard, I've got to hire an attorney.

And he said, Yeah, that's it. That's it exactly. No. I'm going to try to put it in my wife's name, jump through all these hoops. I'm going to look at legislation because that's ridiculous.

That should just. That's just a little bit of a It's totally insane, and America knows it.

So I got to create a system to get around the system. Legally, is what they're telling me. Have you always have you always ridden? I mean, take me back to the uh the early days. Uh, so you've been a skateboarder for a while, yeah.

Yeah, I I had one made out of plywood and skates, which is a death crap, you hit a cigarette button, you're going you're hit you're eating pavement. And I remember my dad said, if you can make it to the end of the driveway, we'll see about getting you a skateboard.

So they got me a skateboard. a sim skateboard, which I still have. Um And it's got a famous skateboarder on the underside of it. It's worth a fortune now, but I still have my original skateboard. And my parents, we didn't have a lot, so it was really cool getting that at Christmas.

But yeah, but I didn't ride with the rest of the skateboarders because I didn't smoke pot. And I still don't. And so I wasn't really on the end crowd. I was just kind of a loner, sort of like I am in Congress, I guess. But anyway, so I'm I've been making them and they're just lining up in my In my barn, when I can get get insured and get an attorney to tell me I can do it legally.

So, not going to put them out until I can do it legal, though. Love it. Birchett's boards. I love it. All right.

Congressman, always a pleasure to have you on. Congratulations, and we look forward to you uncovering a lot of grift up on Capitol Hill. It might be condolences. I always remember when Fred Thompson, they put Fred Thompson in charge of a committee investigating Clinton, and they. I stuck that over there to kill him because he threatened the status quo, and he would have been a great president, I feel like.

But I think. Grant lots and then have another plan on the sidetrack. I would have loved to have seen that red pickup truck of his parked outside the Oval Office. That would have been something. That would have been something.

All right. Thank you. Congressman, good hearing from you. Congressman Tim Burchett, everybody. Hi, this is Todd Stearns.

Okay. All right, the Supreme Court is hearing a case involving. A ban on transgender athletes. Those are the dudes who think they're girls, and they're going in and they're just smacking around every single female. Uh sports record and sports title known to mankind.

So, the headline from Reuters today: U.S. Supreme Court conservatives lean toward allowing transgender sports bands in place.

However, that may not necessarily be the case because we're getting some intel from inside the. The courtroom. That Justice Amy Coney Barrett is calling boys who identify as girls trans girls. No, ma'am, no justice, Barrett, that is incorrect. The correct title is Boys and Girls.

So If you're going to be addressing boys who identify as girls, you have to refer to them as boys. Justice Barrett. Folks, I You know, it appears that President Trump may have been snookered when it comes to Justice Barrett. I'm just telling you, I've got a bad feeling. About this, a very bad feeling.

But we shall see how all of this plays out. As a matter of fact, just moments ago, Justice Sam Alito. Had some uh fun back and forth. Let's take a listen to that. Interest?

Well, how can you how can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means? for equal protection purposes. I think here we just know to we basically know that the That they've identified pursuant to their own statute, Lindsay qualifies as a birth sex male, and she's being excluded categorically from the women's teams as the statute.

So we're taking the statute's definitions as we find them and we don't dispute them. We're just trying to figure out: do they create an equal protection problem? All right, suppose this school that has a boys, let's say, track team and a girls' team team team team team teams Track team. Uh The school has that. And a student Yeah.

Has the genes and the reproductive system of a male and had those at birth and has never taken puberty blockers, never Uh uh taken uh uh Female hormones never had any gender altering or affirming Surgery says, nevertheless, I am a woman. That's who I am. Can the school say no, you cannot participate? Uh on the girls team.

Sorry, so you're just a birth sex male who has all the advantages of birth sex male hormones, and can the school borrow him from the woman's team? Yes, they can. But that person, is that person not a woman, in your understanding? If the person says, I sincerely believe I am a woman, I am in fact a woman. Is that person not a woman?

I I would respect their self-identity in addressing the person. All right, there you go. A little bit of the back and forth there. The Conservatives are having a field today.

We'll be right back, everybody. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. Love is American. Time.

Stars. All right, welcome, everybody. Good to have you with us. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show. What an honor.

In just a few moments, we're going to be talking with Congresswoman. Mary Miller, she's going to be joining us. I have a question for you. Any of you folks use chat GPT? In your life, in your world, in work.

And I'm wondering if, you know, again, artificial intelligence, a lot of folks are using Grok and Super Grok. Chat GPT. And I have dabbled in it, and it's been very helpful to me. If I'm working on a column or maybe I'm looking for a different way to phrase something, you can just pop it in there and it'll actually speak to you in your voice. I will say this.

It doesn't do well interpreting Southernisms. And I say that because I was I had written a paragraph or something in my new book on and I had used the word slobberdocker, and almost immediately Chat GPT flagged it and said that that went beyond their guidelines.

So all that does, there are limitations to what Chat GPT could do. But I was fascinated with the fact at how quickly it picked up my cadence and the style of writing that I do. That was, I guess it was impressive, somewhat off-putting. But I'm curious how you utilize artificial intelligence in the workplace and what you do. I will say this: that from a newswriting perspective, for example, I have noticed that it does a very good job.

It could take an interview from this radio. For example, we had Congressman Tim Burchett. In the last um In the last hour of the show, you could pop in that interview and it would spit out a really good, solid, fair, and balanced news story, which is pretty impressive. But I am curious: aside from writing, are there things that you utilize artificial intelligence for? And I bring this up because there's a fascinating story out of the Independent.

about a Dutch couple And they were told by a court That their wedding their wedding vows were Um We're not authentic. This is the headline from the Independent Chat GPT marriage vows ruled invalid in the Netherlands. The couple had been told by a court that no marriage had been established. After a one-day civil registrar and a good friend officiated their wedding with a speech. written using chat GPT.

I am stunned by this. The couple's wedding was in April last year. But Monday's judgment in the district court saw their marriage certificate canceled. According to the court, the officiating speech fell short. of the Dutch Civil Code requirements.

And what is that requirement? That prospective spouses accept each other as husband and wife and will faithfully fulfill all duties which the law connects to their marital status. The couple rejects the decision that ChatGPT was used to draft the speech. saying that's not right.

However, the registrar asked AI whether his text was legally valid.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Apparently, you're not allowed, at least in the Netherlands, to use ChatGPT. To write your marriage vows. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Want to go to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend, the great Congresswoman from Illinois, Congresswoman Mary Miller. Hope you're doing well today, Congresswoman.

Well, I am. I've been following the Supreme Court oral arguments for a little bit and It's a little bit disturbing. I think it all goes back to the fact That they cannot the the left cannot define what a woman is. Unfortunately. And I'm somewhat concerned.

I know Mary Margaret Olihan was tweeting earlier that Justice Barrett had referred to a transgender person as a trans girl. That sort of verbiage sort of causes me to bristle a little bit. Yes, I picked up on that also, but I am excited. I do have legislation One of the key pieces that I've introduced is called Defining Male and Female Act. And it establishes clear and consistent biological definitions of male and female.

And that's the solution.

Well, unfortunately, I think you're right. And the fact that we have to legislate what should be common sense, it really says a lot about our culture right now. And we'll wait and see how things turn out. I think the interpretation from the national media is that the conservative wing of the court is going to prevail here. And I certainly hope that's the case, Congresswoman.

Well, yes, we need a Hope and pray that way.

So, like I say again, the left can't define what a woman is. And I want to move over to Minnesota if we can. There is so much to talk about. And of course, you have been I think that you're setting the right tone here. You've been posting a lot of messages urging the President to invoke the Insurrection Act and arrest the governor.

Is that right? Absolutely. I mean, he has been overseeing a criminal operation in the state. He has It sounds like he's been. Um going after whistleblowers.

He is inciting violence against federal officers, ICE officers that are there. And there's many reasons for him to be arrested immediately. It's really mind-blowing when you see what's happening there, not just the governor, a congresswoman, but the mayor as well. And the lawlessness that's out there. I think the lieutenant governor urging people to put their bodies on the line.

I mean, in effect, and I know people bristle at this, but I mean, we're looking at Minnesota being now a rogue state to some effect.

Well, it is because Of the excessive immigration. And the UN has been behind that. The Democrats have been all for it. And we watched. in dismay for four years when Joe Biden opened the border of my orcas was a party to it and every single Democrat supported it.

And my family's actually from Minnesota. And the native Minnesotans are dismayed. They don't feel safe in their own state. They're being robbed blind. It's not right.

And I think, again, any state that is doing something like this, we've got to call them out on it. You know, Congresswoman, here's the thing: so many dumpster fires burning, and the President and the White House, they've been doing a lot of great work. But I think on this particular issue, I think the American people need to see something very visible happen, very public happen, so that a message can be sent to these far-left radicals. Yes, and President Trump has messaged that justice is coming so He's got them. you know, in his site.

And I think the happiest day or a happy morning would be for me to wake up. And find out that he's been arrested and Omar has is on an airplane back. to Somalia. Congresswoman Mary Miller joining us today on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Of course, a lot happening there up on Capitol Hill.

Democrats now threatening a shutdown. What guidance do you want to give to your caucus as you guys look ahead towards the midterms?

Well, we've got a lot of things focused that were focused on this week, appropriations bills. And the Democrats don't have anything to go on. And so they're going to try to raise the American people up and make them fear for another shutdown. But this week, I'm very, very excited. Tomorrow, we're marking up a bill, the Stop Insider Trading Act.

The American people will be very happy to hear that. I love it. We had Congressman Tim Burchett on earlier in the show, and he was really frustrated because he's got this. I don't know if you knew this, he had a side gig. He makes skateboards, Congresswoman.

And he said there are more regulations on Capitol Hill to govern his little skateboard company than this trading that lawmakers are doing.

Well, absolutely, and it's really been a shame, and it's made. It's contributed to making Congress be a laughingstock and a disappointment to the American people. But House Republicans are committed to restoring transparency and accountability. And here we have a real opportunity to make meaningful change to clean up Washington.

So I'm very excited about it. And the Americans. have been cringing watching congressional members trade stocks and becoming wildly enriched I think Um antipeloses Stock return is like sixteen thousand percent or some ridiculous number like that.

Well, certainly a lot happening, and we certainly appreciate your strong voice. Of course, you've been leading the charge to save women's sports up on Capitol Hill, and we just have to hope and pray that justices do the right thing, rule in the right way with regard to Idaho and West Virginia. I'll give you the final word there.

Well, I want the American people to speak up when they have an opportunity. I took my children ice skating at a university ice rink recently, and my grandsons came out and we were reporting that they were feminine hygiene products next to the urinals. And I went over and posted a complaint respectfully. But I just want to tell people, speak up. We we have biological differences between male and female.

Title IX. was established to give women opportunities in athletics and Sex as defined then. was biological. That is the only thing we have to go on, is the biological definition of male and female. All right.

Well, Congresswoman, we really appreciate you coming on today, and thank you again for being a bold, conservative voice up on Capitol Hill. Thank you. You take care. All right. There you go, folks.

Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois. Very busy day up on Capitol Hill. A lot of votes today, so we appreciate her and Congressman Tim Burchett making some time for us today. Our telephone number, by the way, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stardust Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Glad to have you with us today. I want to go back to this whole artificial intelligence thing.

You know, it's interesting. Elon Musk was doing an interview. He was on a podcast. And you may have seen this. He said there's going to be a huge debate about the future of healthcare, of automation, medical school.

This was a, oh, who was it? The guy doing the podcast on YouTube is chairman of the X Prize Foundation. And anyway, he was they were talking about the future of health care. And Elon said everybody's going to have access to medical care. That is better than what the President of the United States receives Right now.

And the question was: well, are you telling people not to go to medical school? And Elon said, yes, it's medical school, it's going to be pointless. And he said, I would say that applies to any form of education. And all of this goes back to AI and the fact that. These robots are going to be much more efficient in in the future doing surgery.

And Elon was saying that younger generations are going to say, I don't want a human being touching me. Yeah. That they would rather have a robot Doing, you know, I don't, I guess, determining what they have, what illness they have. And what you're shaking your head, Dylan. I I think AI is going to be a great tool for the medical field.

in determining maybe if something you know Maybe if it's like an x-ray helper, if it's like a CAT scan helper, something that you can just like wave over your body that says, hey, you have this or you could have this. I think that I would still prefer a human doctor Just to like. I don't know, confirm that. I don't want some robot. This is what concerns me, and they've got one, it's called the Tesla Optimus Robot.

That's the robot. that will would end up becoming a surgeon. And that's what Elon is is talking about here, saying that they would be able to perform superhuman medical procedures with precision far beyond that of a human doctor. and could make this top tier surgery available to pretty much anybody. I'm not sure.

I don't know about that. And here's why. What if the robot, you go in for your diagnosis and the robot says, oh, yeah, you've only got like 20 years to live, so I'm not going to do this. Or, yeah, you've got two months to live. I don't want the robot oversharing.

Yeah, the robot definitely doesn't, you know. They don't have a HIPAA laws in the robot, do they? I don't know. They can share too many things. About you to you, and I don't know.

I would think, I think that I would trust it. To a certain extent, But if it's doing like heart surgery or brain surgery, Uh No no.

So what do you I'm curious to hear people we've got some audio from that podcast here in just a second, but Elon basically predicts that Tesla's Optimus robot will outperform human surgeons sooner than you think. Would you allow yourself to be operated on by a robot? That's the big question. Let's take a listen to Elon here. Optimus would be a better surgeon.

than ig the best surgeons. How long for that? Three years. Three years. Okay.

Yeah. And by the way, that's three years at scale. Yes. All the scales. There will probably be more optimist robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.

But that's an important statement in three years' time. Yeah. Because medicine, I mean, certainly absolutely absolutely. If it's four or five years, who cares? Extreme precision.

Yes. Three years. Yeah. Better than any And he probably I say if you like Put a little machine on it. It's better than any human in four years.

By five years, it's not even close. I think your point was. medicine. Is going to be effectively free. The best medicine in the world is better.

Everyone will have access to medical care that is better. Than what the president receives right now.

So don't go to medical school. Yes, pointless. I mean if unless you But I would say that applies to any form of education. There's not like some. Yeah, medical.

You're not going to medicine. If you want to hang out with like-minded people, I suppose. When do you think opera? Ah, I don't know about that. Yeah.

Like, we need people in this world. There's always going to be people. And if I think robots, AI takes over. Like he's basically saying you don't need to go to school anymore, you don't need to be educated. I don't know.

It's the ultimate dumbing down. We're going to be like that. What was that? There was a movie. Remember that?

Where the robots ran and everything, and all the, it was a cartoon, I think, and all the humans were fat. We're just big flat wallies. Wally. Yes. No, yeah, we would be Wally.

Oh, Anna, our good friend Anna Jacobs from WTUN. My luck, the robot will need to restart in the middle of surgery. That's true. Right? Exactly.

Oh, my gosh. I don't know about this, everybody. Maybe I'm old school. But maybe younger people would you allow yourself to be operated on by like Rosie The robot That was the maid on the Jetsons. Oh, by the way, did you see Total Tangent here?

They're making a live-action version of the Jetsons movie, of the cartoon. That's going to be awesome. I would see that. Or it could be horrifying. Either, I don't think there's any wiggle room there.

It's either or. All right. So I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen: has AI gone too far now? 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

The bigger question is: will insurance cover it? That's the broader question. All right, hang tight, everybody. We'll be right back. All right, many, many of you folks are creeped out by the idea that we could in the future have robot doctors, so, like, no humans in the doctor's office.

Here's my take on it. It does creep me out. No, it really does.

However, if I don't have to wait 45 minutes for my appointment, I may be okay with that. Let's go to Scott in Georgia. Hey, Scott, what say you? Todd, they're going to have to abandon AI. AI is going to be the end of mankind.

Yeah. It's the replacement. It's not We we just It's going to take, it's going to absorb the creativity out of mankind. I mean, there's no purpose of doing anything anymore. I mean, you can write a book.

to paint a picture, to take a picture, to do I mean I mean, just basic stuff that humans do. It'll just zap the creativity out of us. It'll just leave us like just a sponge. Like a like a piece of rock or something. It was just it's just this thing's so dangerous.

It's just they need to bandit it. I don't know that we can abandon it, to be honest with you, Scott. I mean, it's just it's crazy. Remember the Christian music artists, that's what got me, is that they're doing all of these I think the number one Christian music singer in America happened to be an AI. It was just artificially generated.

Yeah, I mean it's I mean, this is terrifying. I I don't think people have really sat down and thought this out and and And I have, and I've, it's just that man has run his course, man's run out of gas. We just don't create anything anymore. that doing he needs a crutch and he's using this artificial intelligence to get him to the finish line. And it's just I mean, it's just like a crutch to it.

He just he's saying that I can no longer do anything anymore. I can't think for myself. We can't find cures for cancer. We can't do anything. We surrender.

We're going to have to have somebody else do it for us. It's just it's just terrifying what we'll fix this thing. All right. Scott, appreciate your assessment of things, which he may not be all that far off. He may not be wrong there.

I want to go to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, our next guest, the great Josh Jones, Republican strategist. And, Josh, you are real. I just wanted to convey that to the audience. You're not AI, you're not a robot. That's correct.

At least for now. That's correct. So I'm just curious. I mean, you're a young guy, but if you went to the doctor and you walk in and there's a robot staring at you, would you allow that robot to examine you? I don't know.

I it's hard for I I don't know, frankly, to your point, if I don't have to wait 45 minutes, I can just get in, get out, and get what I need. It's pretty, I mean, it's pretty enticing.

So, I mean, I honestly don't know. I'd be open to the idea, but like, AI is one of those things where it's just it's came on pretty fast in the last couple of years. Uh, and you know, people using it to like, you know, make like you're talking about make music or you know, write things or you know, whatever that may be. I don't know if we're quite at the medical doctor level yet, but you know, who knows where we're going? Yeah, Dylan, do you want to be experienced?

I mean, if they paid you money to be like a test subject for. For the robot. How much money are we talking?

Well, it had to be, you know, they'd pay you in Bitcoin, probably. Oh, God.

Well, if it's like a billion Bitcoin, then sure, why not? You could lose a limb. I could buy my limb back. You could. Or they could just, yeah, or they could craft it back and it would grow back or something.

That's the future. Jesus, look at this. You know how bad it is, guys? Josh, I was looking at all the video coming out of Venezuela, and the first question I had was: is this real? No, literally.

It's such a big issue. And particularly working in the ad space, you'll get like you'll have these clips that go viral on Twitter, or at least get rodent traction on Twitter of political candidates allegedly saying something. It's like, no, they didn't actually say that. It's just AI that somebody used to make it look like they said that.

So right now, AI, particularly in politics, is the wild west. It truly is.

Well, yeah. And I can imagine in politics, because you know, in politics. It doesn't matter if it's real or not or true, right? That you just want to have that ad out there. Let's say, you know, your opponent, you know, is a good church-going guy, and then all of a sudden a video pops up and he's making out with, I don't know, a puma or something.

And you're like, oh, bestiality. And it turns out to be made up. I'm sorry, that was really a bad example. But I get where you're going. Right?

I mean, but it's out there. It truly is.

It is. And I'm like, I hope people are thinking, like, to your point about the Venezuela clips. I had the same thoughts. Like, okay, is this a real clip or is this something that someone generated to just get clips on Twitter or whatever the website is?

So, no, it's definitely a double-edged sword because there's a lot of good to it that we can use, but there's also a lot of bad. I guess, I mean, I guess that's everything. I'll take it a step further for you because we've been watching these images coming out of Iran, and we can't get any good intel.

So, I don't know if I have not been sharing the photos because I don't even know if they're real, if there's an authenticity issue. But imagine this, we could be in a situation where a major conflict could break out as a result of AI videos that have been faked. Yeah, no, I mean, that's a total possible reality. Because, like, to your point, with Iran, too, it's like all these videos that are coming, allegedly coming in from the ground. Maybe they're true, maybe they're not.

Who knows? But it is one of those things where it's like, look, I'm not a tech guy. I don't work in tech. I mean, I use technology quite a bit, but I don't, you know, I'm not in the industry, so to speak. But like, we need to come up with something where there's a clear geripier of like, okay, this is clearly real, this is clearly AI.

I don't know what the answer to that is. Like I said, yeah, it's kind of new, so like, I think we'll figure it out. I have faith. But, you know, for the time being, it is kind of dangerous. Josh Jones joining us on our Patriot mobile newsmaker line.

Josh, Congress back in session. Lots of concern right now over a looming government shutdown, how this might play into the midterm elections. I think the Democrats are going to try to shut it all down. Yeah, I mean, it's a total possibility. If they do that, I mean, honestly, it goes without saying, but if they do that, they're totally misguided and in the wrong care.

The answer should never be to shut the government down nine times out of ten. I mean, it hurts the economy, it hurts the American worker, it benefits nobody. It's just plain politics.

So if they do it, I think I mean, not that I want them to do it, but if they do, I think go for it because Republicans are going to use that in all of our messaging and we're just going to run with that until they reopen the government like we did last time. All right, good stuff.

So, Josh is coming. Hey, Dylan, you didn't know this. Josh is coming to Memphis this week. That's very exciting. Do we have any what does he need to do in the city?

I mean, because you're coming from what, D.C., right, Jones? Yeah. Well, if you like barbecue, we gotta take you to Central Barbecue. And downtown, if you haven't been downtown to Bill Street, gotta take you there. Get some good food.

There's some music venues you can check out. There's a good bit of stuff. What is your music scene, Josh? I mean, I'm kind of basic. I'll be honest.

I've got a basic.

So, like, whatever's in the top 50 chart is typically what I'm listening to.

So, like, what everybody else is listening to, that's typically where I'm at. Yeah, you guys are going to have to take Jones out on the town because I'm not a big nightlife person.

Well, if you like basic, you know, the blues, you know, Memphis is the city of blues. Blues is basically. Four chords, so it is basic in that sense.

So you may enjoy it. I don't think that's what he was talking about. I think we don't have Taylor Swift. Look. I want to live the local experience.

So, whatever Memphis is about, I'm all for it. Hey, we can do that. We can yeah, we can definitely do that. All right. Well, safe travels.

We'll have somebody picking you up at Memphis International Airport. I appreciate it. All right. Our good buddy Josh Jones. Yeah, we're having a big, like, I don't know, confab.

We're looking at the rest of the year, some of the big events we're planning.

So we're bringing the crew, some of the crew, into Memphis for a few days, and that'll be a lot of fun. But yeah, we've got to figure out. I don't want to be like, but you got to do Graceland. I mean, if you're coming to Memphis, you have to do it if you haven't done it before. I mean, I live in Memphis and I haven't done it.

So maybe you take me to Graceland. Oh, yeah, you got to go to Graceland. Our biggest thing is food, though.

So, I mean, as long as we have the barbecue, we should be okay. We have the best food scene in America right here. And it's not just barbecue. I mean, there's we have a great, really Mexican food scene. Yep.

Here. Good burgers. We've got Huey's. Oh, great burgers. Yeah.

Doesn't disappoint. Great burgers and catfish. Oh.

So let me tell you, I took a picture of this in the supermarket. I was in the supermarket, and I like to do this on occasion. There was a freezer full of frozen catfish by the box. And Chitlands. And I thought, only in the south, only in a southern grocery store.

Absolutely. Would you have. And collards. Were the chitlins, were they blocked? They were blocked.

No, and there were buckets. There were a couple of blocks and buckets. And they had multiple varieties of chitlins. We shouldn't describe what a chitlin is. People may not on the air.

You can Google it. Yeah. And they smell horrible. It is a southern. It is a southern thing that I have yet acquired a taste for, and I'm not sure I ever will.

All right, we got to take a break here. 901-260-5926. That is our telephone number. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

Oh, Phoenix, Arizona. This is a terrible story, Dylan. This verifies our concerns.

So this happened in Phoenix. Waymo. Have you heard about the Waymo cars? I have not heard about Waymo.

So these are the driverless cars. Oh, yes, yes. And so they um and they're all over a lot of these uh west coast cities. A Waymo passenger had to flee a self-driving car after it stopped on a train track and there was a train approaching. Oh, geez.

The whole thing was captured on video by a bystander, and the poor passenger had to jump out. of of the vehicle It occurred just a couple of days ago. Police said they got a call about the incident, but confirmed the Waymo vehicle left the area before cops arrived. It's a runaway car. It's...

It's a criminal automobile. Wow. A Valley Metro spokesperson said that an employee who noticed the Waymo immediately alerted operations staff. Trains briefly reverse directions to minimize service impacts. Here's the thing, though.

This is what gets me. A lot of these trains are actually all automated, so they don't have train conductors anymore.

So what happens, you know, what what would have happened had that been in one of those automated trains? And what would have happened if the Waymo would have self-locked and not let the guy get out? Would you ever ride in a car like that where you're not behind the wheel? You know, I've seen videos of the Teslas. They do a pretty good job at the self-driving, but I don't really know what other cars do that with the Waymo.

I don't think I would trust anything else. Not a chance. I don't even like somebody else driving my car. I don't like a human driving my car. That's fair.

Arizona State University professor Andrew Maynard. Telling People Magazine, quote, I actually felt a little sorry for the car. He said the car appeared to make a bad decision in an unfamiliar situation. He described the moment as a rare edge case. Where autonomous systems struggle to react the way a human driver might hit the gas.

Anyway. Let's go to the phone lines: 901-260-5926, Jerry in Iowa. Jerry, what say you? Um brothers. Todd and Dylan, this Dr.

Rosie the Robot thing is, I'm really thinking about this. It could be the return of house calls.

So like anything they can do in the hospital, like Just invite the robot in and lay down in the bathtub in case there's any spillage, and then just fire up the turkey carver and you know, and then. You pay PayPal, just pay for PayPal. That's but on a more serious note. I really believe so my first computer programming course was probably nineteen seventy seven, seventy eight, and I've hit a lot of computer languages, and I'm sixty four now.

So I've been I've I've been long through the whole IT ride. I've known about AI for a long time. As one Christian to others, I promise you that AI is not smarter than the Holy Spirit. AI is it goes out on the Internet and it samples the muddy middle of everybody's average opinion. And it can do some good things, but I would, if you're a believer in Christ, Jesus, and the Lord.

You study the Word of God, and you are way ahead of anything AI can cough up. It's a nice little tool, you know, maybe there will be house calls. But I just really am, as a Christian, I kind of feel like I know what this thing is. And it's just really not as good as God and the Holy Spirit. That may be the case, but I still want a human operating on me.

Yeah. I'm just saying. I mean, you know, it could be cheaper. Yeah, it could be. I don't know.

It's crazy. I mean, if it gets if but if she's firing up the turkey carver, I want somebody standing in the corner to pull the plug in case she goes berserk.

Well, that's the issue. Yeah, what happens? Say there's a power outage, right? What happens then? That's my concern.

Well, Dylan was right because if they cut up the wrong thing, you could probably just throw it on back on real quick. Could be.

Well, all right, Jerry, thank you for that encouraging conversation. Waymo, by the way, suspended service in San Francisco. This is just a couple of weeks ago. There was a massive power outage. in across San Francisco and the all the cars just stalled.

Because you know why? Because the traffic lights went out and they didn't know what to do. None of the cars.

So, literally, every Waymo car on the streets just stopped wherever they were. They didn't know what to do. It was like right out of one of those dystopian movies or something. And it lasted for like. I don't know, hours, what, twelve, sixteen hours?

That's not good. Ugh, geez a lope.

Somebody was stuck in their vehicle for hours, and I'm like, why don't we? Why don't you just get out and walk? I mean, what? People, I just don't understand people. Anyway, 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926.

All that to say, good luck. I'm just old-fashioned. I like human interaction. That's what I like. All right, coming up, we are going to be talking about barbecue on jetliners.

We're also going to be checking in with what's happening up on Capitol Hill. A lot of movement right now, ladies and gentlemen. We've got to make sure that the Republicans don't make a misstep. There is plenty of time for them to screw things up between now and the midterms, and we've got to make sure. That does not happen.

All right. I have to give you an update. Dylan, seven pounds lost.

So far. That's awesome. Seven pounds. And I'm just sort of getting started here.

So it's going to, before it kicks into high gear, you know, but all that to say, I've been doing the Field of Greens, and I want to encourage you to check it out. If you haven't already done so, I'm on a big weight loss campaign.

So hopefully, those of you that watch us on video on the Facebook Live and YouTube streams, you will hopefully start noticing a difference here. I would say, give it about a month or so, and you'll start noticing a difference. Hopefully, less of me. That is the goal. And one of the ways I'm making that happen is by drinking Field of Greens.

Doctors these days they look beyond your calendar age. I'm talking about the human doctors, and they look at biological age. How healthy your cells and vital organs are. And Field of Dreams was actually designed with all of that in mind.

So each fruit and vegetable. Is doctor selected, and it goes right to supporting your cells, heart, lungs, kidneys, and of course, weight in my case. In fact, there was a university study, and they found that the people who added Field of Greens to their daily diet saw incredible improvements in some key health markers. Literally, one change changed everything, and that's why Field of Greens promises your doctor will notice your improved health or your money back. And I don't know about you.

Every time I go see my doctor, it's like, yeah, you got to lose 20 pounds. And I'm like, okay, I get that.

So if you want to impress and surprise your doctor, you ought to check out Field of Greens. It's super simple, one scoop once a day, and you're done. And I want to encourage you to go to their website, check it out, read up on it.

That's us! That's right! I love Love is American. Todd start. All right, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

Great to have you with us. And there is a lot of stuff happening up on Capitol Hill. A lot of it is really not good. But there is one great thing that happened. Our good friend, Congressman Tim Burchett, a guest host of the Todd Stearns Radio Show, is now chairman of the Doge Committee.

And the congressman joins us today on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Congressman, congratulations.

Well, thank you, brother. As I've said many times, a blind hog gets an acorn every now and then. I guess I got that acorn. I don't know. I think a lot of people are angry about it.

We'll see him. They don't run to the office. try to run me off, but um I'm going in. Guns Blisen.

Well, I think that's the only way you can. And I know that we're really up against the clock. You've got the midterm elections coming, and the reality is, aside from that big, beautiful bill, Really, we haven't seen a lot happen up in Washington. That's correct. We've shut the border down and we've done things like that.

I think one of the problems we have, and as I've told our our executive group up here I've said, you know, we're terrible at messaging. And then, you know, they're still listing in their eight-track tape players and their 72 gremlins with their. 1972 JCPenney leisure suits on, pretty much. It seems to me. Um and you can't get them to change anything.

And so that's why I kind of do my own thing as far as messaging. And we've really excelled at that with the Twitter or X and Facebook and everything else that we've been doing and pushing a lot lately. But I'm going to focus on some new things. In the past, the way they do it is they'd have a meet you know, the committee meeting and Jasmine Crockett and Marjorie and everybody would get into it and that's part of the charm of Congress, I guess. But I'm going to try to steer away from that.

We don't really propose a lot of real legislation. We talk about it, and then individual members do their thing. And I'm going to actually propose committee. legislation. And the way I'm going to do it, in the past, they would say the You gotta do it.

a study committee on this, and it takes you a year to get your information back. And by then, you moved on to another bright, shiny object.

Well, the GAO, which is the office, one of the offices that's tasked with doing these studies As just Warehouses. I mean, it's like the the I've said it before, it's like the the end scene in the original Raiders of the L Lost Ark movie. Where they, you know, took the Ark of the Covenant. I think that's where all our. Committee studies go, and I've been in Congress eight years, and I've never ever seen one of those.

those committee Um studies.

So I'm going to go get those studies. that we know they've done, and we've got some already in the hopper. And those are the we're going to start off there. And then we're going to have a committee meeting over that, and then we're going to propose legislation. And if the chairman, and these are Republicans, If they do not Want to move ahead with the legislation, I will publicly embarrass them because I don't care.

We're $38 trillion in debt. It just keeps going up another. another trillion dollars every hundred days or less. And You know, I'm just tired of it, Todd. I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of the talk. I think America's tired of the talk. And You know, they're going to start going after me, and I get it. The big boys aren't going to like this, but that's not the way we've always done it around here.

Well, they're right. Because the way we've always done it around here has gotten us in deeper and deeper in debt. The Democrats, they do it on social programs, you know. Woke. crazy stuff all over the world, exporting our brand of liberalism.

And then the Republicans, we get in there and we We tend to do it around the military and other things. Yesterday, we had three bills up on the floor. I voted against every dad gum one of them. we were outlawing something that was already illegal, but they just created more or less a department to do it, and it cost a billion dollars. And then you go I'm sorry, it costs it cost several million.

Another bill dealing with something we were dealing with another country with Africa. Yeah. And those two bills, combination of them, was over a billion, and nobody pays any attention to it. And it just keeps happening and happening. And I think we've got to We got to call it out.

I don't care if it's their own party. We just got to call it out. We cannot. keep going off this cliff, and I'm afraid that's what's getting ready to happen.

Well, you know, I think a lot of people, congressmen, are just beyond outraged and frustrated when they see what the Somali people are getting in Minnesota when their own loved ones are not able to get the same sort of resources or benefits. And people are just tired of it. And we see the hearings all the time. And I don't mean this to be negative at all. I mean, the Republicans throw amazing hearings.

They're entertaining. I mean, you got your popcorn, your Dr. Pepper. I'm watching it. But nothing ever happens.

I mean, it's just like the Justice Department. Nobody's being held accountable for anything, even trying to sabotage a duly elected president of these United States. Yeah. Yeah, we don't have the guts to do it because it it cuts both ways on these things. You're finding out too many times that People in both parties, from what I understand, have family members that work for these NGOs.

Say, oh, wait a minute, we can't cut all of them. Cut them all out and let's start over. Cut them all out. And then let's because it's not it's it's Everybody up here wants to come up here and and and get the to the trash can. I just want to pick and choose Ma'am, we need to turn this thing upside down and put a garden hose to it.

And start billing because that is the only way we're going to fix this thing, Todd. It's got to we got to gut it and start over. Until we decide we're going to do that, It's never going to change because You plug this hole over here, and then you got a bigger hole over here. You just got to stop it all. And that's why Trump.

It shut the dad gun border down. we're going to run into some problems with labor and things like that. But I think what you're going to find in the long run, Americans are going to have jobs and the housing market's going to open back up because you're not you're not having people that are stacked twelve to a room. and it's going to allow Americans to get back in the market. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line with this Congressman Tim Burchett, Congressman, of course, now we're looking at yet another government shutdown, and the Democrats are basically going to hold the country hostage, either defund ICE and all these other issues, or they're going to shut it down.

What's the latest? But whatever their polling data shows, I think the Democrats are just trying to hold on to their very slippery base right now. And the Democrat Party is not It's not the party of Truman. It sure as heck ain't even the party of Bill Clinton anymore, maybe Hillary Clinton. They sold out to the Marxists and it's They're a guy the guy on a um Out of New York, I forget his name, you know, and Crockett and Man Dommy.

They're all. they're all um that that's the spokesman for this for this party. It's not And it's a rudderless ship. The only thing, yeah, Mendami, I'm sorry, I said the guy, I said Maduro, I'm thinking of a Venezuelan dictator. Not much not yeah, not much daylight between those two, to be honest with you.

Not not really. They're both communist and they're both corrupt and I think they've they've allowed them to b the the people around them have have have bought into this nonsense. But yeah, we're in a We're in a real mess. The Democrats are in a worse mess, and they're just trying to hold on to their They're very small. majority of the minority that they have.

And they're forgetting the working people. And that's why you're seeing a lot of the labor groups going with Trump. on this on a lot of stuff now. Congressman, before we let you go, I know that there are a lot of caucuses up on Capitol Hill that you guys join. Of course, House Freedom Caucus, the Republican Study Committee.

Is there a shredding conference for skateboarders up on Capitol Hill?

Well, there's actually a couple of us that do that ride skateboards. And, you know, it's crazy. I saw I made that skateboard for Tulsi Gabbard. And then I've tried. And I thought, well, dang, this is pretty cool.

People want these things all of all over the world now. And I said, Well, maybe I'll sell it to you. I'm a capitalist, you know, from 10 to 10 o'clock at night till 4 in the morning, I usually don't sleep much. And then I I that's when I do my work. I always tell people it's cheaper than a psychiatrist.

So go see ethics. And they're like, oh, you gotta do this, you gotta do that. You know, you got to form an LLC, you got to put it in your wife's name. I said, so let me get this straight. If I want to do insider stock trading, I can become a member of Congress.

But if I want to sell a dad gum skateboard, I've got to hire an attorney. And he said, Yeah, that's it. That's it exactly. No, I'm going to try to put it in my wife's name, jump through all these hoops. I'm going to look at legislation because that's ridiculous.

That should just. That's just a little bit of a sound. It's totally insane, and America knows it.

So I got to create a system to get around the system. Legally, is what they're telling me. Have you always have you always ridden? I mean, take me back to the early days.

So you've been a skateboarder for a while. Yeah. Yeah, I I have one made out of plywood and skates, which is a Death trap, you hit a cigarette button, you're going, you're hit, you're eating pavement. And I remember my dad said, if you can make it to the end of the driveway, we'll see about getting you a skateboard.

So they got me a skateboard. a SIM skateboard, which I still have. Um And it's got a famous skateboarder on the underside of it. It's worth a fortune now, but I still have my original skateboard. And my parents, we didn't have a lot, so it was really cool getting that at Christmas.

But yeah, but I didn't ride with the rest of the skateboarders because I didn't smoke pot. And I still don't. And so I wasn't really on the end crowd. I was just kind of a loner, sort of like I am in Congress, I guess. But anyway, so I've been making them, and they're just lining up in my.

In my barn, when I can get insured and get an attorney to tell me I can do it legally, so not going to put them out until I can do it legal, though. Love it. Burchett's boards. I love it. All right.

Congressman, always a pleasure to have you on. Congratulations, and we look forward to you uncovering a lot of grift up on Capitol Hill. That might be condolences. I always remember when Fred Thompson, they put Fred Thompson in charge of a committee investigating Clinton, and they. I stuck that over there to kill him because he threatened the status quo, and that he would have been a great president, I feel like.

But I think. Grant lots and then had another plan on the sidetrack. I would have loved to have seen that red pickup truck of his parked outside the Oval Office. That would have been something. That would have been something.

All right. Thank you. Congressman, good hearing from you. Congressman Tim Burchett, everybody. And we are back.

Welcome, everybody. This is the Tom Starns Radio Show.

So, President Trump is speaking at this very moment in Detroit and talking about how the economy is booming, growth is exploding under his administration, which it is, and the economic indicators are all pointing towards a very, very good year. For all of us in this country. And prices will be coming down. As I think we mentioned this earlier in the show, gas prices now well below $3 a gallon, and in some cases, below $2 a gallon.

So this is tremendous news. The President, before he left Washington earlier today, Said that he is now cutting off talks with Iranian officials. And that's happening as this crackdown continues. And again, the reporting we're getting, which is very little, but the reporting is that thousands of people have been slaughtered in the streets by the Revolutionary Guard. The Ayatollah is his power is in danger.

The president also told the Iranian citizens, quote, help is on the way.

Now, last night or night before last, Lindsey Graham. Seemed to insinuate that we were really about to unleash on Iran with our military might. It just seems to me those are not things you ought to be signaling one way or the other to the enemy. That's just me. The President did not offer reading from the Associated Press here.

The President did not offer any details about what the help would look like. But it comes after the President said that Iran wants to negotiate with Washington. after his threat to strike the Islamic Republic. The death toll, they're saying officially more than 2,000. We're hearing 6,000.

The President appeared to make an abrupt shift about his willingness to engage with the Iranian government. This is what the President wrote: Iranian patriots, keep protesting, take over your institutions. Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops.

Help is on the way.

So, my question, ladies and gentlemen, what sort of help would you recommend we send? Do we need to. W do we need to engage in some of these pinpoint airstrikes? Certainly not boots on the ground. You know, one of the big challenges for the Iranian protesters, they got no weapons.

The only people that are armed in Iran are the bad guys. And that's a big problem.

So, when you're telling me that we're getting reports of these freedom fighters and they're out there in the streets battling, and that all they have are rocks or bricks or whatever. Then to me, I'm They've got my respect.

So the question is, and this is basically my litmus test. If your country wants freedom. You're going to have to fight for it yourself.

Now, if you need a helping hand, we're there to lend a helping hand, but we're not there to fight your battles.

So based on what I've been seeing in the streets of Iran, I think that we ought to consider lending them a helping hand. They're putting their lives on the line, literally. As many as 6,000 already dead. They've got no way to fight against the big guns. And the weaponry Of the Revolutionary Guard.

I mean, that's just the reality of it. But there are a lot of people in the conservative world and in the America First World, and they say, no, this is a bad idea. I will say this. And whether or not we, and we don't know what the future of Iran looks like.

So let's just say the Ayatollah is overthrown. Do we bring back the Shah of Iran? Many people are saying absolutely not to that. Others are saying we'd rather have a friendly dictator there to the United States. That is something that will have to be discussed.

But I will tell you this, even if you install the Shah of Iran, that is still good news for Israel because at that point, you're looking at a nation that's not trying to wipe Israel off the face of the map.

So anyway, I'm curious to hear your take on that because If we step back for a moment, we could be waging some sort of conflict in. Cuba. Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, And Greenland. I don't think they're going to put up much of a fight. And of course, whatever is happening in Iran.

Now, the good news is Trump can handle all of this. The Pentagon can handle all of this. We're not. We're not putting men and women in harm's way here. We're doing what needs to be done and we're getting out.

I mean, that's what happened in Venezuela, and we're doing it quite effectively, by the way.

Some of the reporting. I don't know if you heard some of the reporting from the. The guards around Majoro And describing what happened. It's just really amazing. Apparently, the United States used some sort of secret weapon to incapacitate.

Maduro's guards.

Some sort of what they are now calling it some sort of a a sonic weapon. And it caused nosebleeds and paralysis among hundreds. That's why the military, we only had 20-something guys. According to Some reports, this is from the uh the Times Now. Operation Absolute Resolve only involved about twenty elite troops.

That neutralized Venezuelan forces surrounding and protecting Maduro. There were hundreds, hundreds of losses. on the other side. One survivor said he recounted an intense sound wave. That left soldiers' heads feeling like they were exploding with nosebleeds, vomiting.

And they just froze. They weren't able to do anything. All that to say, do not mess with the U.S. military, ladies and gentlemen. The greatest fighting force on the planet.

901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Tunstrange Show. You know, you really don't hate the media enough. Scott Adams.

The creator of Dilbert Great Cartoon Series. Passed away. He'd been fighting cancer. It was ugly. And He really he fought it just so incredibly well.

lost his life. Today he passed away sixty eight years old. And Scott Adams becom became a um A popular guy in the America First Movement, very popular with President Trump after he came out and announced that he was backing Trump. And He, um As a result of that, he really paid a price. I mean, people attacked him, they came after his work.

He lost a lot of newspapers that didn't want to carry the cartoon series anymore. But Scott Adams, he's a guy that stood by what he believed in. Anyway, I wanna... I want to share with you two different headlines. All right.

One of them is the O-Bit of. Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi. He died like a dog. Remember that guy?

So this is the headline for his O bit in the newspaper Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at Helm of Islamic State, dies at forty eight.

Now I want to read the headline from Scott Adams. American Patriot Scott Adams, disgraced Dilbert creator, dies at sixty eight. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is just a little snippet, an example. Of why you should hate the media. These people are awful.

Just awful. Awful. They celebrate the passing of an ISIS leader. And then they mock and belittle. a great American patriot like Scott Adams.

Uh just just disgusting, just despicable. All right, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I want to read to you something from Lara Loomer. This is just breaking, and this is going to be a big story later this evening and probably for the next little while.

And it's all about Loomer and James O'Keeffe.

So James O'Keefe has staged another one of his big gotcha video moments. And this is a big one involving a Secret Service agent who reportedly shared private details. Of J.D. Vance's comings and goings. I mean, this is jaw-dropping and shocking.

But anyway, Laura Loomer got a hold of a memorandum that went out. From the deputy director of the Secret Service to members of the Secret Service. And here's what it says. Over the past several months, an agency employee was deliberately targeted and manipulated by a citizen journalism media organization that misrepresented itself in an effort to get close to the employee and expose sensitive information. This is the second time in less than a year that our personnel have been subjected to the same deceptive tactic.

Sadly, in this instance, the employee failed to meet the standards demanded of this agency and engaged in conduct. That runs counter to our values, our policies, and the training we provide to prevent exactly this type of compromise. I recognize the situations like this can involve real personal pressures, and I do not dismiss the gravity of that. Still, I am disappointed in how this was handled and in the impact it will have on others. When one person falls short, it places an added burden on the colleagues who are left to rebuild trust.

That each of us works hard every day. to earn and protect.

Now That's all well and good. But the whole point of the Secret Service is to protect, ladies and gentlemen, to protect the President and the Vice President and members of this Administration. And if even one person is Not doing that. They have to be removed. and publicly ostracized.

Now, I want to read to you from the reporting of James O'Keefe, and this is what they're all upset about. James O'Keefe staged another sting operation. He says that U. S. Secret Service agent a U.

S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Vance leaked sensitive security information to an undercover reporter. The agent is a holdover for the Biden administration and stated he voted for Joe Biden. While expressing opposition to ICE and the Trump administration's immigration policies. Tomas Escado is the agent on the VP's Protective Detail.

and was recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information, including protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, and real-time locations. This is shocking. The Secret Service agent detailed how the Vice President is physically surrounded. Described multiple daily shift changes and disclosed advanced security procedures. In addition to past movements, the agent revealed future travel plans, sometimes days in advance.

Escado even sent images from Air Force Two while on board with the Vice President. Despite acknowledging he signed paperwork prohibiting the disclosure of sensitive information. The Secret Service agent repeatedly shared details with someone believed to be he believed was a casual romantic interest. While the safety of the Vice President and his family were always our top priority, what OMG, that's James O'Keefe's company, Uncovered raises serious questions about operational security, protocol compliance. and oversight within the U.

S. Secret Service. Our team coordinated with the Secret Service ahead of publication, redacted sensitive operational details at their request. We were just informed that Tomas Siscado has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities And systems revoked. I mean, this is shocking.

And again, it's the vastness of the deep state. It's so insane. that we may never truly get a handle on all of this, but there's no way that guy needs to be anywhere near any agency that's assigned to protect somebody. I'm just telling you right now, Unbelievable. And it sounds like the Secret Service is more upset.

that they got caught than anything else. Wow. Just insane. All right, we've got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926, our number.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Ton Cerns Radio Show. Great to have you with us. Our telephone number, by the way, nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Let's go to Texas, Chris listening to us on Patriot Talk nine twenty. Hi, Chris. What's on your mind today?

Well, I got several things on my mind. One is I want to give my full and unqualified support to ICE. And the president, and I can say. Um no, not. The Democrats created such a disaster that the solution to the problems they created is nothing a civilized person would otherwise choose to do.

It's going to be painful for everybody. Yeah, I mean, it's a fair point you bring up. And again, ICE is there with a responsibility and a purpose, and they've been around for a long time. But finally, we've got a White House that actually wants to use ICE for what they were created to be, which is, quite frankly, a deportation force. Yeah, and also enforcement of federal law.

That's it. Six of the Constitution, federal law is supreme. And the only challenge to that has to go to the Supreme Court. uh lower court cannot rule against it. But one of the things that concerns me is I'm hearing a lot of negativity toward the Republican Party on These are so called conservative talk radio.

I I got a problem with the usage of the word conservative and liberal. I think they're used exactly opposite of definitions in the English language. That goes for left and right also.

So, what is your concern here? What is your beef?

Well, uh Not really focusing enough on the positives. Usually it's in the later afternoon shows, and they will. harp on certain Republicans in Congress, Speaker of the House, for instance, And really droned the negativity. they will drive the negativity. I'm worried that, that will have an impact of reducing Republican voter turnout for the midterms.

Well, look, I hear your concern there, Chris. And look, we try to we love to praise the Republicans when they do something right. And I will say that Speaker Mike Johnson has done a pretty good job of late To move the president's agenda, there's only so much he can do, right? Because the Senate. Is the Senate is playing hardball, and the Senate is not doing what it's supposed to be doing.

So you're going to get a. I don't know, a backlog, I suppose, is a good word to use. When you look at what's happening as far as getting the President's agenda through the Senate and onto the President's desk. Again, I don't think that necessarily is going to dampen enthusiasm for the election. Off midterm elections, typically you don't have a big turnout.

The issue for me is: have the Republicans delivered on their campaign promises? And if they have, then I think they're going to win and they're going to win big. If they haven't, I think the the American voters are going to send them pack send them home packing. Yeah, and I also think if you do this nationwide voter ID law, and only citizens can vote, and it is enforced I think the Democratic Party will disappear. No doubt about that.

And that has to happen. If there's only one piece of legislation they're willing to put through, it's got to be the SAVE Act. We've got to make sure that only American citizens are allowed to vote on Election Day. And, Chris, what you just said is true. I think if we're able to accomplish that, the Democrats lose it.

They're not going to have the numbers anymore. I agree with that. And also, what's going on with the census? They were supposed to redo the census, and I haven't heard anything about it. You know what?

We'll look into that for you, Chris, and we'll get into that. We'll get back to you on that.

Okay, and I'd also like to point out that there was a. Mm-hmm. Say again, please. Real quick.

Okay, there's a federal law giving independent control of the census to the Department of Commerce. In 2010, The Obama White House Seized control of the census violating that law. for the purpose of taking the citizenship question out of the census. And that has not been rectified. I think that must be rectified That in itself, by itself, will cost the Democrats several seats in Congress.

All right, Chris, we got to leave it there, my friend. Appreciate you calling in. We'll check on the census. I mean, the next official. Uh census will be in twenty thirty.

So we'll um but a but uh we'll see if there have been any changes there. Thank you for calling. Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five nine. Two six.

Caroline Lovett. Out there, and she says that we've been able to confirm that all of these people causing mayhem in the streets, well, they're getting paid. Cut number 19. Play out in American communities across the country where you have these organized paid antagonists who are part of these groups that are actively, unlawfully impeding lawful law enforcement operations. They are harassing and targeting ICE agents, trying to make it impossible again for them to carry out their duties.

That's what was happening in this case. That officer used his training. I understand that he's been on the force and he's been protecting American communities for many, many years. He's an experienced and brave individual who, unfortunately, had to make a very tough decision and was put in that position by these paid agitators who have been doing this all over the country. And we knew that, right?

We've seen all the receipts. As a matter of fact, there was a lady. Do we have that. Did I send you over some audio a few moments ago? Um, yeah, the age.

Yeah, let's look. Let's take a listen. You're going to be hearing these uh protesters mocking an agent. Take a listen. I don't care what they told you.

If you guys get in my way, I will arrest you. Sir, we're just observing. Please come here. You're going to observe all you want. I am observing.

Do you see me in the way? I am back. You had anger issues as a kid, didn't you? Were your parents present? You should be ashamed of yourself, man.

He is. I love my job, thank you. You love your job? I can't believe I get paid for this. Really?

I do this for free. Really? I get 200K, I'm a physician assistant. How much how long have you got to score for that? Over seven years.

I went to high school. I make what I can. People regard me as someone valuable to society. What about you? Is your sense of change?

No, no, no. Come on, go to the end. Oh, wow. Did you hear what the guy said? I just went to high school.

I'm making $200,000. That was the ICE agent. Good for you, Mr. Ice Agent. You know, I hate it for these guys.

They're out there every single day, and this is the abuse that they are forced to deal with. And even as you and I are speaking here, we're watching some new video coming out of Minneapolis where they're now just. They're not putting up with anything. They're literally knocking out the windows of the vehicles, and they're pulling the criminal thugs out of the vehicles. And I just say, good for you.

Absolutely good for you. And that's what you got to do. You got to start playing hardball with these people. But the only reason they're out there and doing the marches and all this other whatnot is because they're getting a paycheck. What we've got to do is investigate and follow the money trail.

And if that money leads back to George Soros, you know what? Great. Hold George Soros accountable. And if that money comes from another country, I say we hold that country accountable. Maybe bomb em back to the Stone Age.

But clearly there are people. And maybe countries, entities, And it is in their interest that there is chaos in America. And that's why we're seeing what's happening in the streets of American cities right now. That's really what it's all about. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.

That's 901-260-5926. Two six. Cut number two. You know what? We're not going to have time for that one.

Cut number three, please. This is what we're dealing with on the ground all over. That's right. And you're not respectful at all in any way. I just want to ask do you believe in illegal immigration?

Do you think U. S. taxpayers should be funding housing for illegals and medical care? Smart man, he is so intelligent. This man, he has got nothing to say.

He's got nothing to f ⁇ . To say are not. He's a big man. Yeah. I'm very respectful.

I'm very respectful. This is the mentality. This is the state of the United States right now. Uh this is what's going on. here uh in this country Yeah, you know, all those yammering women, no wonder so many guys in America are gay now.

I get that. Jeez. I mean, that's not scientific or anything, but would you want to be shacking up with something like that? We got to leave it there tomorrow. Noon Eastern, right back here on the radio.

5 o'clock, the Todd Stern Show on News. Max, get out there and have a great one, everybody.
