Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. I love it. Love is American. And hello, America. Welcome to the Todd Sterns radio program, Your Voice of Truth and Hope Across this Great Nation.

I am Todd Starnes, and we have a very, very busy show for you today. Good to have you with us. By the way, our telephone number, if you want to weigh in, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. ToddSterns.com is our website, and we have a lot of brand new content just posted over on the website.

One of the big stories, and we've got a lot of ground to cover today, folks, but one of the big stories we've been watching unfold is in our nation's medical community. Where a number of nurses and other medical professionals have been taking to social media, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook. And they've been announcing that they are either not going to provide medical care to ICE agents or conservatives, or in some cases, they're actually wishing that members of the Trump administration suffer some sort of. Of a calamity, a medical calamity.

Now, we understand at least two nurses in Florida have seen their licenses suspended as a result of some of the things they've been saying. But the idea, ladies and gentlemen, that there are people within the medical community. That wants to hurt conservatives or not provide them with medical care is. That is a new level of evil in my estimation.

Well, we're going to start out the program today by talking with a very good friend of mine. He is chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, and I suspect he may have something to say about this. Our good friend, Dr. Ben Carson. Dr.

Carson, welcome to the show. Hope you're doing good. Todd, thank you so much, and thanks for covering this very important topic. It's, you know, well, as a person who survived open heart surgery, I have a mechanical aortic heart valve. You know, I have to go to the doctor on a pretty routine basis.

And it's sort of alarming wondering: okay, am I getting the best medical care? You know, if my nurses and doctors, you know, maybe they're not a conservative. Absolutely. And you know, I've always said My favorite people in the world are nurses. Why?

Because they're the infantry of medicine. They're the ones who are right on the front lines. They're the ones who know the patients the best. who calm the patients, who who are the confidants of the patients. And when you lose that connection, You've lost an awful lot.

You know people who are relaxed. And calm. many studies have shown do better on every aspect of their medical care.

So this is very concerning, but unfortunately, it's a symptom of what's going on in our society at large. we have those who are trying to stir up trouble who are trying to make people think that we are enemies. We are not each other's enemies. but we're being manipulated into thinking that we are. And that's a very effective way to destroy a society.

So we have to make sure that our people understand that it's okay to disagree with somebody. Yeah, you probably learn more from somebody you disagree with than from somebody who agrees with you all the time. But talk it out. Put the facts on the table. and discuss things.

We live in a Uh a multicultural Society. And in a multicultural society, The myway or the highway. Philosophy doesn't work. And what it has to be is our way, and we have to sit down and figure out what our way is. doctor Carson, I know the Florida Attorney General has taken pretty swift action here.

Is that the right thing to do? And what sort of a message do we need to be sending to these medical care professionals around the country? or any medical care professional. Who forgets? Yeah.

Our purpose is to help people and to help people. They need to be reminded sometimes with some stern measures. like losing their linements. They shouldn't be taking care of patients. If you feel that somebody is your enemy, Because they have a different thought process than you do?

That's absolute craziness. And we want to send the strongest message possible. That to the best of our ability, we will not tolerate that. But we need to make sure that when people are being trained. in the medical profession.

that they know that if you have those kinds of biases, which will impact the way you treat patients. You're in the wrong profession. Get out now. You know, I think back to when President Reagan was nearly killed by the would-be assassin, John Hinkley Jr., and he was rushed to George Washington University Hospital. He was in critical condition, about to undergo surgery.

And he said, you know, to the doctors, making a joke, please tell me you're Republicans. And I love the doctor, who was a known liberal Democrat, said, Mr. President, today we're all Republicans. I mean, I want to go back to those days, Dr. Carson.

Yeah. Well, that that was the right answer for that doctor. And you know when I treated people, I I treated all kinds of people. people coming from gangs. in the streets of Baltimore who have been violently Uh answered.

It didn't matter. Because You're a professional. That means something. And you take an oath. to do your best for everybody.

That's even a military Oh that you will take care of anyone who needs your help as long as they're not posing a danger to you.

So that includes enemy combatants on the other side. And when you really stop and think about it, You know That's your that's your brother, that's your sister. It could be anybody in your family. who just happened to be born on the other side. You know, I I think about that.

with the Russian-Ukraine situation. Many of those people are in in the very same family. close connections. They happen to be born in a different location.

So now you're gonna kill them? You know, we we have uh as human beings have got to stop And think. About what we're doing. And where is it leading? And if we don't, our our destruction is guaranteed.

Dr. Ben Carson is joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today, folks. He is chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, founder and chairman of that great organization. Dr. Carson, I know you've got a great piece in the Washington Examiner.

Dobbs was only the end of the beginning. You know, I'm a little concerned about the Republicans. We're seeming to go a little wobbly on the issue of life. I know there's been some talk about maybe easing up on some of the things related to pro-life language in the party platform. How important is the life issue to the Republicans?

I think it's incredibly important to Republicans to Democrats, to everybody. a life, a human life. You know, some people want to say It's just a clump of useless cells in a woman's uterus. It has no meaning, no purpose.

Well Call that to Steve Jobs.

So that uh Oprah Wednesday. to Michael Jordan. to so many people who are Schedule was later. To be avoided. And for one reason or another it didn't happen.

And they become contributing members of society. There are millions of people like that. Do we really have the right to say that that's a meaningless glob? And what meaningless growth have you seen that over the course of a few weeks, develops eye sockets. And nose.

And little finger buds and toe buds. and continues to develop in a sh a short period A nine month You have an independent individual. Crying and eating and pooping and doing things with little babies. How I mean Come on. How are you gonna fit the answer?

That that's Not meaningful. And if we just apply a little bit of logic Have a little bit of common sense. And you look at the fact that that brains start to develop. The moment conception occurred. Million.

of neurons every day. Billions of neurons at the peak. culminating In nine months and human beings who can do all kinds of things. and culminating in just a few years, To an independent individual who walks, who talks, who asks for things. who can play with the things and build little models.

I mean, give me a break. This is a miracle. Why would you interfere with that? Why would you stop that? Why would you say that that means And we like to talk about the ancient civilizations.

and how they were barbaric heathens. because they sacrificed children. living sacrifices to their gods. Are we any better than they are? We may be worse because They offered those sacrifices because they thought they were mean for they were giving their God something that had value.

We just assume crush a little baby's head with our force and throw him in a garbage. Think about that.

Well, Dr. Carson, we're going to have to leave it there. We're going to get you back on soon. Again, folks, go check out his great website, AmericanCornerstone.org. You'll be able to check out Dr.

Carson's podcast, lots of other great information, including events. That's AmericanCornerstone.org. Dr. Carson, always great hearing from you. Great to be with you, Scott.

Thank you. All right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. And this whole medical thing has creeped me out. And I am glad that folks like Dr.

Carson are speaking out. And I'm really glad that the state of Florida is not messing around and they're starting to revoke these medical licenses. All right, we're gonna take a quick break. When we come back, President Trump now threatening. To sue Trevor Noah for what he said at the Grammy Awards last night, we're going to play for you what Trevor Noah said.

All right, did you watch any of the Grammys last night? I normally.

I normally take one for the team and watch all these things, but last night I was wrapping up. I had one final chapter to finish on the new book. And so I was sort of in the zone last night.

So I waited until the clips came out on the socials, and it was not surprising at all. As a matter of fact, the only Well, the only surprising thing was jelly roll. And I will tell you, Dylan, by the way, I didn't realize he must be doing the calatron because he is like shedding the pounds. He looks really good, yeah. Wow.

It's, you know, the thing is, when you lose a lot of weight like that, you wonder about the tats, you know, the body art. Right. Does it like. SAG or morph with you? I think it can.

So, maybe that's something you worry about if you're getting a tattoo. But he looks pretty good. He was almost 500 pounds. Not a lot of people know that. I didn't realize 500 pounds.

Yeah, people, when you think of jelly roll, you think of a bigger guy. But he's like, I don't know, he's like 200 pounds right now. He's looking good. He's going to have to come up with a new name now. I know.

Yeah. Like sushi roll. Sushi roll. I don't think that's going to work. Hey, I'm tossing it out there for him.

You know what? Who am I to judge? All right, let's see. It may have some shelf life. Here's Jellyroll, his acceptance speech last night, Cutsnicks.

I know they're going to try to kick me off here, so just let me try to get this out. First of all, Jesus, I hear you and I'm listening, Lord. I am listening, Lord. Second of all, I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life without you.

I'd have ended up dead or in jail. I'd have killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus. I thank you for that. I thank you for my label, Broken Bow, Country Radio, baby. What's up, y'all?

Oh, Republic John Manila, we did it, baby. It was a time in my life, y'all. But that was. I was broken. That's why I wrote this album.

I didn't think I had a chance, y'all. There was days that I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human. There was a moment in my life that all I had was a Bible this big and a radio the same size and a six by eight foot cell. And I believed that those two things could change my life.

I believed that music had the power to change my life and God had the power to change my life. And I want to tell y'all right now, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus. I know.

Use the label. Jesus is Jesus, and anybody can have a relationship with him. I love you, Lord. Wow. All right, that'll preach.

Yeah, that's jelly roll last night. That was the only positive reference to our Lord in the entire show. Everything else was so.

So terrible.

So Bad Bunny is out there. Mr. Bunny, who is going to be what the half-time performer at the Super Bowl show. What is that? Coming up this Sunday.

Man, it's really it's it's fastest go around.

So anyway, Bad Bunny is doing the halftime show. And he told us that he's going to do it in Spanish. And if you can't speak Spanish, you better take a class. He's also going to be honoring queer people.

So he's wearing a dress. During the halftime show. This is the NFL hate you, ladies and gentlemen. They hate you. They hate NFL fans, all of you football fans, they hate you.

And so they're using the halftime show to basically stick it in your face. And I just pray to Almighty God. That bad bunny is wearing underpants under the dress. Otherwise. Janet Jackson will look like a Sunday school teacher.

So you've got Bad Bunny, and yesterday he decided to speak in English so he could show his hatred towards ICE and wanted to make sure we could all understand. Take a listen. I'm going to say. Eyes out. We're not savvage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.

Um Also I want to say to the people I know is It's tough to know. Not to hate. On these days, And I was thinking Sometimes We get Con Contaminados. I don't know how to say that in English. Um The hate gets more powerful.

with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. All right. Yeah, enough of you. Enough of you, Bad Bunny.

Jeez the Lou.

So look, Bad Bunny doesn't like ice. Everybody was up there. They were cursing ice. When we come back, we'll play.

So, you know what? No, let's play this now. Here's Billie Eilish. What a horrible human being she is. Cut 8.

No one is illegal on stolen land. And Yeah, it's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I just feel really. Hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. And our voices really do matter, and the people matter. Say, sorry.

All right, yeah, that was, yeah, we had to bleep out the word there. She was saying blank ice during her Grammy acceptance speech. Here's the deal. She owns a $14 million mansion on stolen land. The Tonka People.

No, pardon me, that's the Tonka truck. The Tonka.

So, I don't know here, but maybe Billie Eilish needs to give her mansion back to. The people who deserve the stolen lands. Or just let the illegals camp out on our front yard. All right, got to take a break here, ladies and gentlemen. 901-260-5926.

Triant. It is my job this February two. To look to the skies and report back to you that there is a shadow here on my ground. Six more weeks of winter abound. Woo!

I hate that stupid groundhog. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I am so ready for spring. I want to go to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line, our good friend, our national correspondent for the Todd Sterns Show, Robin Poffman.

Robin, that was for you because I know when we worked together at Fox News, that was like the highlight of your year. Who's been to Gobbler's Knob more times than I've been? Maybe the groundhog.

So for folks that don't know, when I used to work with you at Fox News Radio, I was the crime and terrorism reporter. But then suddenly, once a year on Two Two, we'd have a lighter moment And they would send me out to Pontatoni, Pennsylvania, And it's quite the place. Gobbler's Knob is real. It looks very different than it does in the movie. Groundhog Day.

It's actually, you know, on a hill, and people get dressed up in tuxedos, and they're out there in the wee hours and partying. And it's super fun. I will tell you the last time I was there, Was not on Groundhog Day. It was actually on the 20-year anniversary of 9-11. We were out in Shanksville.

I was with my husband. And I said, you know, just to lighten up the mood, it was a very heavy day, obviously marking the 20-year anniversary of 9-11. And I'm like, hey, do you want to go to Gobbler's Knob? It's a two and a half hour drive. I may air out my mind a little bit.

And so I took my husband to Gobbler's Knob. And sure enough, it was the monthly meeting of the group that puts on their show. And Punxatani Phil was in a cage eating some corn. Is that right? You know, it was funny.

You mentioned you mentioned that you were the crime and terrorism reporter, which you were.

So when you told me, Starnes, I'm heading to Gobbler's Nova, I'm like, Oh, my God, who killed the the ground dog? Yeah. No. I thought there was a crime scene. Right, Phil was a hostage, not.

But anyway, it it was it's always been a a fun day for me and I have all my memorabilia. And as you remember, do you remember the stuffed animal that used to sit on my desk? I remember that, yes. I mean, they have all sorts of merch, it's kind of like a giant Bucky's in real life.

Well, Bucky says a beaver, but you know, I think they're all part of the same family. It's close enough. Robin, we've got to talk about Melania Trump. The new movie came out over the weekend, and I know that you went, you're furiously texting me over the weekend that you went to the documentary. My phone has been blowing up.

Every conservative woman I know has seen the documentary, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. How was the film? It i in a word, it it's just class. C L A S S, absolute class. As you know, I like fashion.

So from a fashion perspective, it's amazing to see how she presents herself, obviously being a former model, the outfits she wore during the inauguration ceremonies. What was super interesting for me personally, Todd, is that I as you remember, I was at the inauguration last January. And so to see the behind the scenes stuff, the things that even as a reporter, we get behind the scenes glimpses, but nothing like this. And in the twenty days that lead up to the this is what the documentary is about. I mean, in that time, she's meeting with a former Israeli hostage.

whose husband was still being kept. Melania instrumental in in keeping that woman and and the husband alive, and he actually eventually gets out once Trump takes office. She meets with Macrone's wife. Her legislation about foster kids, the letter to Vladimir Putin. To reunite the kidnapped children from Ukraine.

Actual real line items that you can put your arms around. A lot of people on the left. think that she's some sort of model moron. And she's extremely intelligent, speaks all these different languages, takes the meeting with Macron's wife in French. Is speaking in English, but yet listening in French.

And I will tell you something else. There Is an element to this movie that there's a lot of humor, a lot of laugh out loud. But there are moments, Todd, and you know me, I'm a pretty tough woman. I cried in this film. There are moments in this movie where you are Teared up.

And just so moved that every person in America, male, female, Um Old and young is going to be able to relate to. specifically pertaining to her mourning the one year loss of her mother. And that was a huge, I mean, that was a huge loss for her. And you can just tell, even with her father, you know, he's always at all the events. And, you know, there is just, you can still sense that loss there.

It is, I've heard from, I've heard the same thing from other ladies who went to go see the film. Also, they said while President Trump was not like in a lot of the documentary, that the relationship, you know, between the first lady and the president was really quite remarkable. And I was wondering if you picked up on that. It was almost really a fun, fun teasing kind of, you can tell they love each other. Yes, the movie gives you I would describe this when you make a soup and you only put a little sprinkle of salt in the soup, so it doesn't overshadow the flavor.

That's how I would describe how they use Trump in this film, however long it is, an hour, an hour and a half or such. He's just a sprinkle of salt in a big. Pot of gumbo. And you honestly want A sequel to learn more about their relationship, more about Baron. It's very, it's very light.

Again, it's just a sprinkle. But you get the dynamic. It's like any other dynamic that two people have in a partnership. It's fascinating. Um the the besides wanting a sequel, which and by the way, I hate the movies, I hate going to the movies, I hate sitting in a theater with other people, I hate that it's like ugh.

But I absolutely love this. The big overarch for me, Cod, from a political standpoint, from a human standpoint, is to think of the absolute abuse that this woman, Melania Trump, has taken. She's stunning. By any measure, she is stunning. She's not on any covers of any magazines because of woke liberalism.

They hate her. Do they hate her God? At the end of the film, she kind of gives the middle finger to that. You have to see it. I'm not going to give it away.

But she has the last laugh on that point. And I will also tell you that from just a human emotional standpoint, when you watch this film and you think about how they tried to kill her husband two times that America knows about, and there might be more assassination attempts that we don't know about. But to think about the emotional torture that she has been through. And it's also a very you also get the sense of a very lonely life. She is a very full life.

But when you see the level of protection that she's under, Um It's lonely, and it's fascinating. The part of history, you know, it's one thing to be first lady once. But to be First Lady twice with that big gap in between, that is also addressed in the film. I'm telling you, Todd, it was like an appetizer, and you want the full meal, the perfection of this film. I've worked in television myself as you know, and you work in T V now.

you know, when you have editing and the music It is fabulous. I almost want to see it again. All right, Robin Poffman, our national correspondent, joining us. And real quick, Robin, the. No surprise.

Hollywood, the entertainment world, the critics completely destroying this film. The Atlantic called it a horror movie, a disgrace. Vanity Fair said it was bad propaganda. PMS Now said it was worse than they had predicted. NPR predicted it would be a financial flop, which is sort of funny seeing how they just lost all their taxpayer-funded cash.

And yet, in spite of all of that, $8.1 projected $8.1 million in weekend ticket sales, which Robin, I suspect, would be more because of the ice storm.

So most of the southern states were not actually able to get out and watch the movie.

So I think it's going to be pretty spectacular. I think we lost our connection with Robin. But again, I am not surprised that the. That the left has done what they have done here, tried to destroy Belania Trump. And yet, according to the numbers, this is the most successful documentary in well over a decade.

Now, I am curious. We have a lot of ladies that listen to this program, and I'm curious if you went to the movie, what did you think and what was the big takeaway? 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

Uh All right. Welcome back, everybody. Great to have you with us. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. And again, we're just so excited to welcome a brand new affiliate to our radio family.

Well, over 100, some odd radio stations, I think 120, 130 radio stations now carry the Todd Stearns radio show. And we are honored to welcome WTON Radio in Virginia. They're serving the Shenandoah Valley since 1950. And our good buddy Joe Thomas, who is one of the best morning show hosts in America, that's his radio station. And he owns and operates that great station on three different signals: 12:40 a.m., 101.1 FM, and 98.9 FM.

So, welcome. Welcome to all of our great new Virginia listeners. I think we pretty much cover the entire Commonwealth of Virginia right now. And so, anyway, we do this for all of our brand new stations, affiliates. And if you call in today, you're listening to us on WTON, then we're going to hook you up with a Todd Starn Show prize package.

It's sort of our welcome wagon here on the radio, but you have to call in to do that. 901-260-5926. Again, that number, 901-260-5926. I want to go back. to Trevor Noah, because Donald Trump is enraged right now and he is on a tear.

Donald Trump very upset over What Trevor Noah said last night during the Grammys. That is a Grammy that every artist wants. almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense, I mean, because Epstein's island is gone. He needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.

So, oh, I told you it's my last year. What are you going to do about it? Oh boy.

So look, Trump not happy about that, and I don't blame him one bit. And he is now threatening to sue Trevor Noah. And Noah better retract that. Or, and I'll tell you, CBS too could be facing another lawsuit. And I'm glad the president is fighting back.

You can't let any of this stuff slide anymore. By the way, these thugs, they're the same ones who gave Don Lemon a standing ovation. Don Lemon, the man who stormed a church. With all of those other radical, godless heathens in St. Paul, Minnesota.

And terrorized good Christian people during their Sunday morning worship service. And Don Lemon was given a standing ovation. at the Grammys. Just so you understand what we're dealing with here, these are people that hate you. All of those folks in that room hate you, but they need your money.

They want you to buy their music, they want you to listen to their music. But they hate you and they hate your values. As a matter of fact, so much so that they want to silence you.

Now by the way, Pam Bondi announcing earlier today That two more people have been arrested in connection with the storming of the church, a Twin Cities, they call it Cities Church, they're in St. Paul, Minnesota. And they all have to go to jail. And I know that Don Lemon, and by the way, here's the thing: you have a right to protest. You have a constitutionally protected right to protest.

You do not have a right to step foot on private property and disrupt a church service. You don't have that right. And by the way, when Don Lemon inserted himself into this, he became a part of the story. He claims he's a journalist, but I'm telling you, not a single journalist worth their salt would do what Don Lemon did. Not a one.

Don Lemon knew exactly what he was doing. doing and now he's doubling down suggesting that i don't know he may try to he may try to target other churches Here's what nobody's talking about. And I. This. It bothers me on a couple of levels.

But here's what really bothers me about this story. Nobody is talking about the rights of those Christians. Everybody's talking about Don Lemon's rights. Donnellman has no rights. If he wants to protest, he can do it outside on the street.

He can't go into a private. facility And disrupt a church service. But what about the rights of all of those Christians? Nobody wants to talk about that. Because they don't believe that Christians have a right to gather and to worship.

That's who the left has become. By the way, it's not just in It's not just in Minnesota. In California at Harvest Church the other night, Erica Kirk was hosting some big event there at Greg Laurie's Church in Riverside, California. And the protests were so awful that people were literally trapped on the church property. They were not able to get off of the church property because of the radical protesters out there.

So, all I can tell you is, you might want to start carrying a Bible in one hand and bear spray in the other. And that ought to clear things up right away. 901-260-5926. Coming up, we're going to rehash what happened in Texas. There is a lot of.

A lot of frustration and a lot of fear right now. that this special election for the Texas Senate may very well have national ramifications. And we're going to break all of this down because there is some truth to that. But I think when you look at what happened in Virginia, Where the Republicans were completely decimated in the last election. Not only did they lose the governorship and the lieutenant governorship and the attorney general spot, not only did they lose those, they lost a number of people in the state house there.

And a lot of folks are saying, okay, is this. Is this a bellwether? Do the Republicans have a problem?

Well, we're going to get into that in the next hour. And I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, what do the Republicans need to do between now and the midterm elections to get you excited and to earn your vote? What is it? that you want the Republicans to do that they are not doing. I have a list of things that we're going to go over.

But I'm just telling you, this is not on Donald Trump. This is all on the Republican National Committee. This is all on the Republicans and their leadership in the House and their leadership in the Senate, and especially Republican leadership in the Senate. But Donald Trump is doing everything he said he would do down to the ladder. And now it is up to the rest of the party to put on their big boy pants and start delivering on the president's agenda.

President cannot issue executive orders till the cows come home, ladies, and he just can't do that.

So, we're going to get into all of that coming up in the next hour. Also, to all of our new listeners on WTUN, head over to our website, toddstearns.com.

Alright, well, some very good news for all of you who want every single illegal alien deported. There is a reason why that we have been so, so focused on this issue. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Tom Stearns Radio Show. Great to have you with us.

Hour two.

So CNN explains exactly why conservatives want these illegals removed from the country. Take a listen to CUT 15. Trends that really should set off a flashing red siren to Democrats nationwide while bringing a big smile to the faces of Republicans nationwide. Why do I say that? Because take a look at the big population gainers versus the last census back in 2020.

According to the latest population estimates that take into account the population mid-2025, look at this. The biggest population growth this decade. All five of the states, states that Donald Trump, Donald John Trump won, Donald John Trump won in 2024. Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and of course the great state of Arizona where I spent my New Year's Eve. I love those folks out in President.

Arizona. These were the biggest gainers, the biggest gainers in terms of population compared to the 2020 census.

Now, it's not just a red state boom. This is what we're looking at. We're looking at a red state boom here, but it is not just a red state boom. We're also looking at what I would dare call a blue state depression. Because who are the people?

Who and where are the people moving from into the red states?

Well, They're blue states. They're blue states. Take a look here. The lowest domestic net migration this decade. All five of the states, states that were won by Kamala Harris in 2024.

Look at this: California, Harris's home state. New York, where I'm coming from right now, of course, Illinois. New Jersey, and of course the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which is a bastion of blue liberalism. These are the states that folks in the United States are moving away from and into the Red States, which is propelling a Red State boom. And the other part of it is this: when the illegals are not counted in the census numbers, guess what happens?

You're going to start seeing a lot of these blue states lose congressional seats. Our next guest has something to say about that. She is now suing the U.S. Census Bureau for unconstitutionally allowing illegal aliens to commandeer the path to the White House and compromise our elections. The Missouri Attorney General, Catherine Hanaway, Attorney General, great to have you with us today.

Todd, thanks so much for having me on again. I think the last time we talked We were talking about the Kansas City City Manager Prohibiting displays of religious symbols during the Christmas season.

So it's good to be back on. that promotes so much liberty.

Well, that's what we're the blowtorch for freedom across the country, Attorney General, and we're always happy to call out these attacks on our freedom and liberty. And I am really, really concerned about the numbers of illegals that have invaded our nation. By most estimates, it's about 15 million people, and it is making a tremendous difference in terms of which. States. get congressional seats and which states get electoral seats If we are successful in our lawsuit, we believe that we'll shift eleven congressional seats and electoral votes.

from coastal states to the Midwest and South. Wow, so so right now, what is the Census Bureau doing that really set you off?

Well, they're counting illegals. And so they started doing this under Jimmy Carter. During President Trump's first term, he said, we're not going to do that anymore. And then Joe Biden came in and reversed that right away, which is why we're suing now.

so that we can have a court order and make it permanent so that The next Liberal President can't reverse this trend.

So we want to take the le illegals out of the twenty twenty census, we actually want to go back and do the reapportionment during this decade and then prohibit it going forward from twenty thirty and on. I know back in 2020, the President issued a memorandum that forced the Secretary of Commerce to exclude illegals. Looking at the states now, and I know you list these in your press release: California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Maryland. How many seats are they stealing? It's about 11 seats.

And then it'll go to states like Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania. States that really should gain seats. And if you look forward to the twenty thirty census, North Carolina. Georgia are some of the states that would pick up seats? But it's not just the congressional seats either, it's also federal funding.

Yes, there are more than three hundred fifty programs that are apportioned by your by the census. on a per capita basis. And if you count Illegals, it boosts your number. The city of Los Angeles alone, we believe, has. two million illegals being counted, and so they're drawing down many more federal dollars.

And it's everything from daycare to Medicaid To every social program you can think of. And so I want the states. And America's citizens to get their fair share. That's what this lawsuit's about. You know, it's interesting you brought up California.

There is a Fox News report, and we're going to get to this a little bit later in the show, but 18% Of the entire country's home health care billing, 18% of the entire country is coming out of Los Angeles County. How is that humanly possible?

Well, I don't think it's humanly possible legally. And a lot of these home health care programs, you can have a family member be providing the health care, and they are just. briddled with fraud. everywhere around the country, but it's clear that Los Angeles is the The number one leader in this. And of course, when you look at what's happening in Minnesota with the numbers, the sheer numbers of Somali refugees that are still getting taxpayers' support, government support, the fraud, it's been so well documented.

I'm just curious: what are you hearing from your constituents there in Missouri about what's happening in this fraud? Yes, so we're looking for it, and we've got good cooperation both from the governor and the U. S. Attorneys here. I'm sure we'll find some, but we're Not likely to find the wide-scale fraud just because Missouri has not let in.

It's not been a sanctuary state. It's not let in a bunch of illegals. It doesn't have a big Somali refugee program. Um but We'll find some. We have a Medicaid fraud unit that works all the time in rooting it out, but This is a special push.

Well, I'm so glad to see you guys going after the Census Bureau, and we've just got to do it. And you're right. This is nothing more than theft from the American people. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, I know you're busy today. We appreciate you taking a few minutes to join us here on the Todd Stern Show.

Thanks so much, Todd. Really appreciate it. Hope you have a great week. All right, you too. Catherine Hanaway, I like her.

She's a fighter. And we need more state attorneys general that are just like her, cut from that same cloth, that are willing to go out there and fight the good fights. You wouldn't have many attorney generals going out there and fighting City Hall in Kansas City. Because they banned Christmas decorations. But I love that she, because those are important issues, and fighting for religious liberty is one of them.

So good for you. But again, folks, not only are the blue states stealing congressional seats, and you just heard her say that if we were to take away the illegal alien population, not the votes, but the actual physical population in those states, that would free up 11 congressional seats. For Republicans, at least for red states. All right, we've got to take a quick break here, folks. Again, welcoming our brand new affiliate today, WTON, in the beautiful Commonwealth of Virginia.

Any caller from WTON today, you're going to receive a wonderful Todd Stern Show prize package. You're going to get a signed copy of my most recent book. All you have to do is hop on the show with us today, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

All right, if you've ever been in New York City and you don't do the Uber, you're old school, you do a taxi cabin. You know, I do wonder if most people now just do Ubers, are the taxis still the way to get around in New York City? I lived there 15 years when I worked at Fox News, and I normally took the subway, but every now and again I would take a taxi. We didn't have Uber then. And so in the back of if you hop in the back of the taxicab, there's a T V, and usually it'll be like a little news clip or something like that, and you know, whatever else.

Just something to keep your mind off the fact that you're in a filthy, nasty, smelly cab and you're paying out the wazoo to get from point A to point B. But I digress.

So, anyway, there is these TVs, it's called taxi TV. and it's run by a company called Curved. And they worked out a deal with Newsmax. And by the way, you can watch my Newsmax show and I guess in those taxi cabs. And my show airs from 5 to 6 Eastern.

So A radical New York Democrat. Who heads up the Manhattan Borough? He is the Manhattan Borough president, a guy by the name of Brad Holliman Segal. is enraged. And he is upset because A one minute Newsmax update is actually broadcast on the taxi T V s.

And this guy hates Newsmax. and he's demanding that Zoran Mamdami Immediately break the contract. He said that Newsmax is broadcasting politically charged content and said we were not a credible news source, which, by the way, is not true. And I can tell you that Reuters recently announced that Newsmax was one of the top news brands in the nation.

Now, Newsmax executives say this is nothing more than a pure act of censorship. Against the network, Curbed defended the partnership. They said all the content that Newsmax has been airing is straight news, no opinion. The New York Republican Club is getting involved now. And they're condemning the attack, calling it cancel culture in the free market.

Now Look, I can't remember the last time I was in a taxicab and saw the videos, but I can tell you this: if there was something that I found objectionable, you know what I would do? I would either change the channel. Or Just turn it off. And I'm not understanding why this Manhattan Borough president. Is so hell bit on getting rid of Fox News channel, but he is, and we will keep you updated there.

Oh, by the way, how are you folks doing with the snow? I mean, you folks in North Carolina. I saw, was it in South Carolina? Myrtle Beach, it was snowing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. That's insane.

I mean, the poor people in Nashville may not even get their power back, by the way, until what, February the 11th, is what we're hearing. But all of you folks in the Carolinas and Virginia, we hear you guys got really slammed with the snow, so be sure to check in. Let us know if you're digging out. We still have snow on the ground. Dylan, I don't know what the deal is.

I'm beginning to buy into these two Memphis city council leaders who say th that there's something conspiratorial going on. Yeah, at this point, I mean, we can't get it off the ground. It's not melting. It's not melting. It's also not, you know, melting weather.

So it is cold at night. But during the day, it's really not melting at all either. I'm ready to check out that damn groundhog in Pennsylvania. Yeah, you hate him, it sounds like. I have issues.

I have issues. Me too. Have we checked in? What is it? Punksatawney.

That's the Yankee. We've got our own. Hold on, we've got to check this out. Name is General Beauregard Lee, and he is the Southern Groundhog. And I think he's still based in Georgia.

And hold on, calling this up here. This is USA Today. Uh-huh. You know, I hate the pop-ups on these. Why do why do all of the websites have the pop-ups?

So here we go here. We're looking, we're looking, we're looking. General Beauregard Lee. He pro Son of a biscuit eater. Is it consistent with him too?

Yeah, it's consistent. I I think we've been infiltrated. Yeah. Geez the Lou. Does General Lee yeah they say General Beauregard Lee the southern the southern um Groundhog lives in a little plantation house.

There's got to be something remotely offensive about that, but I love it. I wonder if he comes out wearing a little gray uniform. He has to. That would be ignorant not to do that. With Dixie playing in the background.

Look away, look away. I love it. Now, New York used to have a guy. They had their own groundhog, Staten Island Chuck. I don't know if you ever heard this story, but it was, I think it was Bill de Blasio.

A Staten Island Chuck didn't want to come out of the cage. And you know, those groundhogs up in New York, they're kind of cut from a different cloth. You don't want to mess with them.

So anyway, DeBasio said, Well, forget this, I got things to do.

So he reached his hand in to grab the groundhog and basically jerk it out of the cage. And the groundhog took a big chunk out of the the mayor's like hand. Wow. And then, so the mayor's got this groundhog, you know, attached to it.

So he threw the groundhog to the ground. And he killed Staten Island Chuck. Oh my gosh. Killed the groundhog. He could have just fired him.

He didn't have to kill him. Guy still got re-elected. I mean, the Groundhog has one job, and you're just going to. I mean, I get it, you're an angry boss, but come on. Yeah, you're not supposed to.

Well, you know what it is. I mean, the guy had those chubby fingers. And so, you know, Staten Island Chuck probably thought it was like an albino carrot or something. Yeah, it was lunchtime. I mean, you heard Poppin' over there saying the one up in Pennsylvania eats what, corn?

Yeah. They probably take good care of those groundhogs. I get the groundhogs and buckies, the beaver, mixed up. Yeah, and New York rats. It's easy.

Well, that's a whole other story. Anyway, what in the world were we talking about? I forget. Anyway, 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. New York City, the taxicabs.

How did we get off of that tangent?

So look, here's the deal. We told you That Man Domi was bad news for New York City, right?

So people in the Big Apple are enraged right now. The reason why they're enraged, they had all of this snow. And let me tell you something about New York City Snow. You will not hear this on the news, but you need to hear it from me personally. The snow up there is filthy.

And I think it actually it's filthy before it actually hits the ground. It is black, it's brown, it's yellow, and it smells and it won't melt until the until the spring.

So I was talking to a buddy of mine who works at Newsmax and lives in Brooklyn. He said his car is literally encased in ice and will probably not be able to get it out of the ice until April or May.

So now you have all of these. you have all of these citizens that are just upset because that's one of the jobs of the city is to remove all the snow. But it's not being done because Mamdami is a radical communist. Everything is falling apart. People are freaking out over all of this.

I'm just telling you, it's bad.

So before the Before the snowstorm hit. there was some concern about these homeless encampments. And Man, Dami has decided, you know what, we're going to be hands-off.

So, if the homeless people, if they wanna live in their tents, if they wanna camp out on the sidewalks, we're not gonna bother them. We're gonna let them do that. And a lot of the people were like, Mr. Mayor, that is a horrible idea. Because we've got to get these people off the street because we're having a blizzard.

The temperatures are going to, I mean, you're going to have popsicles, homeless popsicles on the street. Mayor said nope. Nope, not going to worry about it. Ladies and gentlemen, I think the latest death count from New York City: 15 people frozen to death. on the streets of New York City because of your communist mayor.

All right, we got to take a break here. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Tot Starting Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Here's how bad it is in Nashville. You've got the chief executive officer of the power company, and she was more concerned about taking care of the trees during the winter storm as opposed to keeping the lights on and keeping human beings alive. Cut number five. They're also ensuring that we're trimming them to the best health of the tree.

So I think most people don't realize that we go to that depth of effort. And we have arborists on our staff. We outsource our tree trimming, but we have arborists on our own staff that oversee the planning and the post-cutting inspections.

So we take a lot of pride in making sure that we are cutting the trees in a healthy fashion. That is really detailed. My office now, we have arboretum, I think that's how it's pronounced. Right, yeah. For the grounds, and I know how much time and attention they.

Place on each tree, and they go around every so often inspecting each tree to see how it's doing. And so you have that much detail on your staff before they go out and. cut trees, they know specifically what type of tree it is and how much it's supposed to be cut back. That's pretty amazing. We care about the canopy.

We have to live here too, and so I don't want us out destroying the canopy. Yeah, tree lives matter. Tens of thousands of people are still without power in Nashville. But don't worry, folks, your local electric company hired an arborist. To make sure the trees are okay.

Let's go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, our good buddy Steve Gill, who last week was living in a hotel because his power still has not returned. Steve, where are you now and what's the situation there in Nashville? Uh, it is it is so dire, it is so cold still, Todd. I actually saw a lawyer downtown yesterday with his hands in his own pockets.

So, that's how bad it actually is. And when you hire a tree hugger to head your utility system, a literal tree hugger, this is what you get, and it is amazing. The trees. that are down not only the ones that have taken down power lines and everything else. But but it is literally a war zone of down trees, down limbs.

Uh the ice, you know, literally uprooted. Huge trees, and as you mentioned, tens of thousands of homes are still without power. And I'm I have power, but No water because we had birth pipes, and now there's That issue that's happening all over Nashville as well. But it all comes back to the lack of preparation. uh by Nashville Electric Service.

before the storm. When they saw how bad it was. And then Post deploying the number of people to deal with it. The governor didn't even deploy the National Guard to get out and start cutting trees, and he was out doing a photo op this weekend to cut a tree and show his chainsaw prowess. But he waited four days.

So there are a lot of fingers to point blame at, but NES is the prime culprit. And that would be the local NES is the local what, electrical company there? Yes, Nashville Electric Service. By the way, on the three issues, you broadcast and live in Memphis. Memphis spends about sixty five to eighty dollars more Per person that they serve under your utility for tree service.

Than Nashville does. They literally trimmed, no pun intended, the budget by $12 million, but conducted 100 DEI diversity and inclusion seminars for their employees over the last couple of years.

So they're trimming back. tree cutting to expand their DEI knit wittery.

Well, and I'll say this about Memphis. We had the same problem. We hired diversity. We had diversity hires running the electric company, and if the wind would blow, the power would go out.

Well, it got so bad, they finally hired somebody who was just competent and qualified in being able to run a power company. And Steve, they went in, they got rid of all the trees that were causing problems. In this most recent snowstorm, we didn't lose power.

So again, I think it's important to understand when you go down that path of DEI, people are going to die. And that's happened in Tennessee.

Well, in the clip you just aired, just another interesting side point. The voice you heard interviewing Teresa Alpenbroil, who's the CEO and President of Nashville Electric Service, the person interviewing her on that Urban League T V show Is a member of her five-member board of directors.

So when he was touting what a great job she's doing, he He's one of her bosses, supposedly. Steve, I want to talk politics, and there's a lot going on nationally. There was a weekend vote in the state of Texas in Tarrant County. And it's the largest red. District in the nation.

That's how they're quantifying all of this. And this has been a district that has gone Republican for decades. And the Republicans got their butts handed to them. There's really no polite way of saying it. But now a lot of people are freaking out, and they're saying that the grassroots were pushed to the side, that they weren't invited into the conversation.

Republican leadership is saying, oh, this isn't really a big deal. It was just a special election. And we're going to have the numbers coming out in November. You know, Steve, I heard this about what just happened in Virginia as well and in New Jersey. Are we in a precarious spot as Republicans right now?

Well, we need to not only pay attention to the wake-up calls, but quit hitting the snooze alarm.

Now in this particular county, we're seeing the same thing that's causing problems for Republicans all over the country. Two major problems. One, we stay at home when it's special elections or when it's not a Presidential election or when we don't get inspired to go vote. And number two, we have these inner mural battles between the MAGA and the rhinos And apparently, in this particular district, the rhinos were pushing the MAGA voters aside, were basically saying we don't need you. And I think that split also was a huge factor in the reason that a lot of Republican voters.

Stay at home. They're also upset with what we're seeing with Republicans in Washington with a majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, and you get all these rhinos voting, attacking the Department of Homeland Security, defunding ICE. We have too many Republicans who aren't Republicans. And in this particular case, I think some Republicans in Texas decided we're going to vote with our feet. And if y'all don't start delivering, we're going to deliver power back to the Democrats because there's no difference.

Yeah. No, and that's a great point. And I think this is happening nationally, and it's sort of under the radar. But I also believe there are efforts underway to marginalize all of the America First Conservatives that are within the party. I think that party leadership, the establishment, they've been put on the back burner, but they see that Trump is gone.

I mean, Trump is gone in 2020. This is it for Donald Trump. And if they can reclaim their position. And shove those America first people either out of the party or just shut them all up. then that's what they want.

Because I think they want their party back. And if they do, I mean, at the end of the day, I don't think it's going to work for them, but I don't think they care because ultimately they're in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce. They don't care about the America first voters, and they've got to figure out a way to get rid of them. What say you? Yeah, the the swamp is still in full Power.

I mean, they're the ones putting money into the pockets of these politicians. And Todd, you and I have always been able and willing to give a little bit of grace to Republicans from blue. States like a Susan Collins. I don't agree with her. She votes wrong most of the time.

She's certainly not dependable. But she's more in line with her constituents. than than you or I from a red ape would be. The problem is, you've got guys like Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma, Cornyn from Texas. You have these folks from red states who are voting along the same lines as students in college and stabbing Republicans, conservatives, and America in the back on a regular basis.

And that's, I think, what has. All of us who are conservative, whether we're dark MAGA or just conservative Republicans upset. Too many of the fake Republicans are the ones that are stopping things. The Democrats are lockstep. They're not going to move from their lockstep cult of left wing nitwittery.

But it's these so called fake conservatives fake Republicans in Red State that are really destroying our country right now. Yes, and they're even in Tennessee, my friend, even in Tennessee. And you probably see that from your vantage point over in the middle part of the state. I certainly do on the western side. Yeah, and again, it's You know, part of the challenge is we've got such a narrow majority in the Senate, such a narrow majority in the House.

that that a handful of these of these rhinos can create massive chaos. The bigger problem is it's not just the rhinos, it's the pretend conservative John Thun, Mark Wayne Mullen in Oklahoma, John Cornyn in Texas, Tillis in North Carolina. They're spread all over the place, and they're the real majority in the Republican composition of the U. S. Senate, not the conservatives.

Steve Gill is the publisher of TriStarDaily.com. It is a terrific website, TriStarDaily.com. Steve, I want to go back to this Texas. I've got the numbers from this Texas Senate District. And again, It is, it's just shocking.

So they have held the district. The Republicans have held the district for more than 35 years. Trump, it was a 17, it was a plus 17 Trump district. This is Texas and District 9. the Democrat flipped it by fourteen points.

That is That's just staggering. And for people to be dismissive, I think that may be the wrong take on this here. Yeah, and to again whistle past the graveyard of going, oh, we'll get it back in November when. when the general election comes back up and it isn't a special Yeah, if people stay home, the same result will happen. And again, you're giving impetus, you're giving momentum to the Democrats to feel like they can raise more money and do what they need to do to mobilize their base, while our base continues to be dispirited and divided, neither of which helps you win election.

Well, the problem is you've got the established, and they're trying to destroy the grassroots wing of the party. Why in the world would you do that? It is beyond me. And it's really almost, I don't know, political suicide. But you know, when my concern, my greater concern is what happened in Virginia.

And that in and of itself, you had bad candidates running in the top races, no doubt about that. And there was a lot of infighting within the Republicans in Virginia. I just, you know, Steve, I think that we're going to, you know, we can win and we ought to win in November. The Republicans ought to win, but I'm not sure we're going to be able to do that because of all the infighting.

Well, and look at Indiana with the redistricting. I mean, the Democrats are going all in, redistricting congressional seats, wiping Republicans out of representation in the Northeast, in California. And yet in Indiana, when they had the opportunity to try to balance things out by redrawing the lines to add some Republican seats that are being stolen in other states through the gerrymandering, the Republican majority, super majority in Indiana, fails to act. And great, you've got President Trump and others saying we're going to primary these folks. that doesn't help in November because it'll be after November until you can remove some of these people.

And again, it is Republicans who are pretending to be conservative, who are lying to their constituents. And I appreciate President Trump saying he's going to go after them, but he's endorsed a lot of these same folks around the country already, and it's time for him to pull endorsements And go literally all in after these fake rhinos. Yeah, no doubt about that. Steve, we're going to leave it there, my friend. TriStarDaily.com.

And uh the uh Turning Point USA folks Where was that? I just, they just released. I've got way too much stuff on my computer right now. They've just released the lineup. for their Super Bowl halftime show.

You know, a lot of people are not going to be watching. Oh, what's that guy? I want to call him Bad Beaver. No, it's Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny.

Right. Yeah, yeah. All right. Bad Beaver. That's a whole other show.

So, anyway, Bad Bunny is really causing a lot of people to turn off the halftime show.

So, TPOSA is doing something, and it's going to air on a bunch of different channels. I don't know.

So, but Kid Rock is going to be one of the performers there at the. at the alternative halftime. I've watched that. Yeah, you would watch it. Oh, yeah.

I'm not watching.

So, I'm glad that there's an alternative that TPUSA is doing. I also heard Jelly Rolls. Maybe going to do something, so that would be fun too. Heck yeah. But I'm turning it off otherwise.

So they've released the list of performers, Lee Bryce. I don't know.

Lee Mice? Rice. Gabby Barrett. Never. Uh oh.

Uh Brantley Gilbert? Oh, geez. Oh for three. I don't know who any of these people are except for Kid Rock. That's okay.

I'm sure it's better still. You know what? It'll be in English. That's true. No subtitles needed.

Are you doing the big are you are you going to watch the Super Bowl at somebody's house or are you doing the y do you watch it at home? I'll probably do it at home this time, but because it's not as hype as it used to be, like the teams, you know, you got the Patriots and the Seahawks.

So I Yeah, okay. That's all right. We'll talk about Super Bowl halftime food in the next hour. I've got to go right away to the phones. We have probably one of the most important people on the planet on our newsmaker line, Lockwood Phillips, the owner of WTKF, the talk station.

Lonkwood, do you need help? Do we need to shovel you out?

Well, wait a second.

Now that I'm the most important person on the planet, I'm sitting here trying to figure out what, hey, just send money. What the heck? We're fine. We do have a lot of snow on the ground, though. About a foot and a half.

What? Out of footney. Yeah, yeah. Um look, the the Odyssey of and by the way, I can say with a great deal of confidence. with a great deal of confidence, This instinct.

This is the number one snowstorm of the century. It's only 25 years long, but anyhow, it's the snowstorm of the 21st century. for coastal North Carolina. The oddity for Coastal North Carolina is that our snowstorms actually have to come from the south. That is a little weird.

So, a foot and a half of snow, and but everybody's doing well, though. Everybody's listening to the radio, I hope. Everybody's listening to the radio. Nobody's out of well, there are a few people out in the road, a few Unitos like me. But other than that, I mean, we're staying, we're staying, we're huntering down.

It's cold. As a matter of fact, I think the temperature is going to get just above freezing. Oh, geez, a loop. Lockwood, you know that music means I've got to go pay some bills. It is good hearing from you, my friend.

You've got to give me, look, give me a call off the, when we go off here. I need to chant with you. It's been a while. Will you do that? All right, hang tight.

I'll talk to you later. Great man, right there, ladies and gentlemen. And we've got to take a break. We'll be right back. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-totin, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.

That's users! That's us! Bye. I love. Love is a marriage.

Todd start.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to hour three of the big show. We just got in the last hour of the program, we just got a call from Lockwood Phillips, one of the Just an incredibly dear soul. And a great man owns the News Talk radio station out in the Carolinas over on the coast, Moorhead City, Newburn.

Some of the most pretty real estate God created out there, and great people too. We were out there for a book signing several years back, and folks, they rolled out the red carpet and just were so kind. And of course, we got to go to the wonderful sanitary fish house and just had a remarkable journey. Even got a tour of the Pepsi-Cola Museum. Is it still there?

It's in, you know, Dylan, you and the missus, when you go on a vacation, you got to go to Moorhead City, right there on the beach. Beautiful, beautiful area, great food, and New Bern is like this really awesome, quintessential southern town. She loves the beach, so that's uh probably a great idea. She's probably listening, and she heard that.

So thank you, Todd.

Well, no, yeah, well, she would you guys would love it. And uh so anyway, we gotta get back down all that to say, we gotta get back down there, but not right now because he said what there's a what a foot and a half of snow? They're not made for those kinds of things. It's the beach we're crying out loud. But I knew they were in trouble when I saw the snow falling at Myrtle Beach and I thought, uh-oh, that's not good.

Because, as much as we can't handle snow in Memphis, where we broadcast our program, they certainly can't do it over in. Over in those parts.

So, anyway, folks, check in. Let us know how you're doing. 901-260-5926. And the folks in Ocala listening to us on WOCA are like, What snow? What's wrong with you people?

Let's go to Greensboro, North Carolina. German Shepherd joins us.

So German Shepherd, I understand you guys got a little bit of a wintry precept.

Well, I I spent the weekend in the in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where I live. But uh I had to go to work today.

So I had to make my way west, and I'm out here in Greensboro now. And I can tell you. We got hammered. Newburn got it worse than anybody, but I got a four foot snowbank. right there from Shovel on my driveway.

And I got to tell you, Todd, I'd just like to shout out to all of my MCCS government workers and just tell them you're welcome. Because I had to go to work today. I had to dare the icy road to take my time and go to work. But, you know, there's Those guys, uh they got the day off today. And I'll tell you what, I ain't been to church in two weeks because last week they threatened some.

Shut down and This week, none, and I got a message to preach this weekend, and I hope I can get it off my heart and get it to the people because. We need some Waffle House Christians that uh That'll want to go to church and hear God's word and go to work and serve God in the workplace irregardless of the circumstances.

Well, amen to that. You know, I was, you know, as bad as things are where you guys are still in Mississippi, and we have a lot of listeners across the great state of Mississippi, and they are still dealing with power outages and road issues. Poor Oxford just got hammered. And, of course, Nashville, we talked to Steve Gill about that just a few days ago, or just a little, I mean, sorry, just a couple of what, hours ago. And it is just bad.

But can I just say something, German Shepard? I've been hearing reports out of the Charlotte area, and this would be WSIC. A lot of our listeners have been just going above and beyond, you know, helping people that are stranded, helping people with food and things of that nature. And again, it just goes to show you the great heart and the great spirit of America out there. Yeah, and it takes it takes that perseverance, that willing to.

To go out on those icy roads to serve other people, and that's what it's about, and that's what we need, you know. Need to get out there and get moving again. Health people.

Well said.

Well said.

All right, German Shepard, you be safe out there on the roadways, my friend. 901-260-5926. Check in with us. Let us know how things are going. Stephen is doing just that from Moorhead City, North Carolina.

Hi, Stephen. How are you holding up?

Well, better than I deserve. I hope I'm doing all right.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. Glad to hear that. Tell me about the snow. You guys got a lot of snow in your town. We got whacked.

I'm right here, literally on the ocean. And we have easily two feet. Um on the ground. We still got about a at least a foot and a half. The zone is trying to Do a little bit, but it's going to just refreeze.

But that's okay. It's real pretty. Problem I'm having is. I took a cab over here and now the taxi cabs aren't running.

So I'm stuck here, but it's a beautiful day. It's just it's cold, but it's a beautiful day.

So And then the other thing I really wanted to let you know about was Lockwood Phillips. Blackwood is just a super nice guy. And I want you to know that he also operates the Call that News Times newspaper. And it's been around forever. And unfortunately, it's one of the last remaining community newspapers left in America.

the oldest of which is the Pittsburgh Times. And they opened in 1927 as printed continuously. But they sadly they've announced that may fifth will the currency will start. And that's why I think it's very, very important for people I take the paper. And um And it's a wonderful paper.

It comes out. I get mine by mail, Wednesday and Saturday. And uh Just support the advertisers, the people who advertise and keep that paper going because Um Newspapers without advertising don't make money.

Well, they don't exist. That's the other part of that. And I will just say: you know, I'm a big proponent of locally owned newspapers and locally owned radio stations and locally owned TV stations. And the reason why I am so staunchly opposed to the corporatization of the broadcasting in the journalism industry is that it really takes the responsibility away from the locals and it puts it in places like New York City and Los Angeles and Chicago. And those people could, they just don't care.

They don't care what is being broadcast. And one of the things on this radio station, and I'm proud to own the local News Talk radio station in Memphis, what I love about our radio show is that we predominantly broadcast on locally owned, locally run radio stations around the nation. And it makes all the difference in the world. Stephen, Thank you for that reminder. And yeah, it's look, if you're in the world of corporate life in radio, for example, you really don't care about those local businesses that advertise.

You don't all you care about is the bottom line. That's not to say that the local stations don't care about the bottom line, but they also care about our local sponsors because we want their businesses to succeed. And one of the things I love about KWAM, the station I own, whenever we have an advertiser come on, people go bonkers over the amount of attention, the new customers, restaurants, they love it because people say, hey, look, we heard your spot on KWAM, and we want to try the country fried steak down at. Dales in South Haven. I love Dales.

I could use some country fried steak right now. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Starbucks in the headlines, ladies and gentlemen. It looks like they got tired of their woke baristas.

You know, they're always going out on strike. And I'm like, what are you people? You're a you pour coffee for a living. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's a decent, honorable job, but I'm not sure you need to unionize, but whatever.

All right. So you've got all these baristas, and they're out there picketing and protesting and causing all sorts of mayhem. They're wanting to infuse the coffee with these far left politics. and it's bad enough you got to pay five bucks for a cup of coffee that takes burnt. But then you got to listen to some liberal spew on about some nonsense, and nobody wants that in the morning.

Nobody.

So now Starbucks has Come up with an idea. This is from the BBC. That's the British Broadcasting Corporation. Americans pulling into a Starbucks drive-through, Natalie Sherman, the writer. Americans pulling into a Starbucks drive thru may be greeted by a friendly staff member, but at some locations it is actually an AI robot entering the orders.

Behind the counter, baristas can lean on a virtual personal assistant to recall recipes or manage schedules. In the back of the shop, a scanning tool has taken on the painstaking process of counting the inventory, relieving staff of one of the most Tedious parts of the job. This is all very interesting. Last week, the company reported its first sales increase in two years at established stores. It's in the United States, the biggest and most important market, accounting for some 70% of revenue.

Still, the firm's share price slid 5%, reflecting investor concerns that all of the spending. which includes five hundred million dollars to boost staffing, had hurt profits. I'm just curious about this. Because Other coffee shops and other restaurants are going to start doing this. This AI thing, it's out of control.

And soon what what jobs will we have? I mean, my job's pretty safe because, you know, we tried the AI once, Dylan. And I tried to write a Todd Stearns column and the voice of Todd Stearns, and they couldn't. They didn't know what Jizalu meant. They thought slobbernocker was an inappropriate term.

Yeah. And I got banned and blocked for a day because I used the word badonka donk. You cross the guidelines. I cross, yeah. Todd, you know, I can actually tell when I pull up to a drive-thru and they use the AI.

Because it's clear as day.

So the first thing that it'll do. This takes out the whole like. The person has to ask you questions because the AI will be like, Would you like to try our new $8.99 deal on our chicken tenders? And then you'll say no or whatever you'll say. And then the next thing is like this crinkly like old microphone, like, all right, what do you want?

I went to, I didn't realize that Popeyes, fried chicken, and biscuits had AI. Yeah. I went through the drive-thru it was like Yo, man, welcome to Papa. Welcome, mane. We ain't got no chicken, mane.

What's your order? And I thought, oh, they don't have AI. And so then I pull around, it was like an old white woman.

So I think the AI is like Memphis-centric. They've customized it. Yeah. So it's like an ethnic AI. How kind.

How kind. They started doing it at Zaxby's too. Really? Yes, everywhere.

So you're right. It is everywhere now. And that's like half the job. I mean, I don't know. Here's what I want to know.

Do they get your order right at Starbucks? Did they spell your name correctly on the cup? And number three, do they cop an attitude? Because you know, those Starbucks baristas are not the kindest people in the world. You're right.

They have like this attitude about them. Yeah, it's a thing. It is a thing. And I'm like, okay, you work at a coffee house. All right, please.

Give it a rest. Amen. All right, gotta take a break. 901-260-5926. You know, oh, always in the Mexican restaurants where they have like the AI they have the robots, AI robots, and they deliver the meals.

They come up like in the little in the box, the little robot box, and they bring the tray. Yeah, I tried that at Cholupa Gordita's or whatever. I forget the name of the place. But anyway, the little AI has got a little sombrero on its head and it's like rolls over. It's like R2D2.

And I asked, oh, I was waiting a refill. I said, can I get some extra ice? And the thing just took right out the door. I'm like. Wa wait, come back!

Yeah. And we're running for the border. All right, we got to take a break here. 901-260-5926. What just happened?

901-260-5926. This is the Tot Start Show. Uh Mm-hmm. All right, welcome back. Coming up, we're going to chat a little bit about those Epstein files, 3 million pages worth of details coming out.

And look, one of the reasons why Trump was hesitant about releasing the information. And here's where I do agree with him one. I do believe that the files should have been released.

However, and there is a caveat here.

However, those files should have been limited to only the reports. that were actually um credible. That there had been investigations done and that there was probable cause for whatever kind of crime that had been committed. Because most of the stuff coming out is just outrageously. Ridiculous.

That, you know, unless you believe that George H.W. Bush was eating the entrails of dead babies, and I guess anything's possible, but I find that very hard to believe.

So, we'll get into more of that in just a little while. I want to play some audio for you. From across the big pond, may I just say the UK is screwed. You guys I hate it. They're fine people.

I'm not a big fan of their food. Not a big fan of their culture, but you know. It's England. You know, there are cousins.

So you got to kind of have a little bit of respect. But they've been overrun, ladies and gentlemen, overrun by the Islamists. The number one baby name in the UK, Mohammed. And they're being overrun. Overrun by the Muslims, and they're controlling everything.

Well, now there is a big push to get the Muslims to move out of the cities and into the countryside. As an example in Oklahoma, it would be like all you folks in Tulsa saying, okay, we need all the Muslims to move to Bartlesville. And the people in Bartlesville are like, wait, what? Wait, no, don't do us any favors.

So this is a big problem in Texas, by the way, and I know you Texans don't like to talk much about this, but your state is in danger of being overrun by the Islamists, and it will happen very, very quickly. Because they're having lots and lots of babies. I'm just telling you. They're doing what comes naturally.

So over in the UK, they're having this debate now about moving the Muslims from the inner city areas into the countryside. Take a listen. We've got a problem. And actually, it's a lot about, yeah, it's a lot about the national parks and getting people out there and making national parks for everybody. And one of the problems is dogs.

And and actually this isn't just about the fact that a lot of Muslims find dogs very difficult. It is about people who do not know how to control their dogs. Why do Muslims find dogs difficult? they don't have dogs as pets.

Well, there's a reason why.

So, what they want to do is make the British countryside less white, is the whole point of that conversation. And the reason why the Muslims don't have dogs is that traditionally they. consider dogs to be impure.

So, you cannot have a, you're not going to, the average Muslim is not going to have any sort of a contact with dogs. And I can tell you, my dearly departed great uncle Jerry from Coldwater, Mississippi. He was actually, I don't know if he, I don't know if he trademarked this, but he had these anti- These Okay. These anti-terrorism suits that are made out of bacon, and he also had three dogs. I think it was the safest house in all of Mississippi.

No, it's like Kevlar. lined with bacon. and other porn products. Nah. 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Starn Show. All right, coming up tonight on the Todd Stern Show on Newsmax, you can watch us on Newsmax 2, 5 o'clock Eastern. Congressman David Kostoff is joining us. Also, Jeffrey Lord and our good friend Congresswoman Mary Miller.

You can get Newsmax on cable, on streaming, download the free app today. It takes just seconds to start. And let President Trump know you stand with Newsmax: real news for real people. Wow, there is a crazy story out of Tucson, Arizona.

So Savannah Guthrie is one of the anchors over on the Today Show. and her mother has gone missing, And every hour it gets more and more bizarre. Police in Tucson, Arizona, now investigating this as a crime. They are looking for Nancy Guthrie, 84 years old. And they're saying this is not a case of dementia or anything like that.

that she is of a very sound mind and she is sharp as attack. They say she was first reported missing after she didn't show up for church on Sunday morning. And that's when the search began.

Now the sheriff. In Pima County, the says, we believe now that I'm going to read from the quote here, we believe now we've processed the crime scene, and we do believe that a crime has occurred. She did not leave her home on her own. And that's right now all they know.

Now the police say she does need daily medication. And homicide detectives said that there were circumstances on the scene which were suspicious in nature.

So we don't know what that means. It could have been that. Maybe the rooms had been ransacked, or maybe there was blood or something caused him to say, we've got a problem here. This is not just a case of somebody who just wandered out the front door. Savannah Guthrie is posting a statement.

On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and messages of support. Right now our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom. We thank law enforcement for their hard work on the case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Sheriff's Department, as well you should. But this is really just a a a really just a terrible tragedy. Right now she's being treated as a missing person.

And I have no doubt this will become a very big story over on TMZ and. Other news outlets.

So we'll keep you updated on any developments here, but certainly a very sad situation there. But the sheriff says that there was a crime committed against Savannah Guthrie's. Missing Mother 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901. two six zero five nine two six.

Want to play some audio here in just a moment. As we get back to Bad Bunny. I just, the thing about the Super Bowl, and this is what gets me, is that they know they have a captive audience, and they know that most of the audience. Most of the audience who watches Professional football is a It's a male-dominated audience. It's some male-dominated sports.

Oh, by the way, Dylan, I got to tell you about this. This happened yesterday. I was going to watch some basketball, and I like to have a little bit of noise on when I'm writing a book. And so I just wanted to put it on for background noise. And I was gonna watch the Memphis game.

Terrible game. But I was going to watch the game. The men's games were not on. It was like 11 o'clock in the morning. It was just women's basketball, women's college basketball.

I thought, oh, geez, a loo.

So I just put it on in the background. The three, they did like a college game day. For women's basketball, and the hosts are all female former basketball players. I couldn't ha it was like watching the view. Wow.

That's upsetting. It was that insane. Because you don't want that in sports. No. And then they tried bull riding.

They were in Austin, Texas. And then they had done the bull riding earlier in the week, I guess. And one of them fell and broke her finger.

So she's got like this cast. Gosh. Wow. Well, I guess it's entertainment. I mean, just show that instead of the commentary.

I thought, who can watch this? It was just so bad. All of it was bad. The commentary was bad. It was just bad.

Yeah, it's sad to hear. This is But again, when you look at when you look at Football, it's a guy sport, right? And so when they bring somebody on like a bad bunny, That tells me they're trying to shove an agenda down your throats. But more importantly, they're shoving that agenda down the throats of your kids.

Okay. And that brings me to what's been happening on these high school campuses and middle school campuses over the past couple of weeks now. Where you've got teachers that are radicalizing your kids to hate ICE and to hate President Trump. And we've seen the videos. They have been filling our our social media feeds.

Yesterday I shared a video that got almost a million views from Harlem, New York, where kindergartners, kindergartners, ladies and gentlemen, little tiny people. They were holding signs and holding an anti Ice protest. Those kids could not tell you the difference between An ICE agent. and a little thing of Gerber pureed carrots. I'm just telling you.

So, you've got a decision to make, moms and dads, and this is one of the reasons why abolishing the Department of Education is so vitally important. Because if we don't get control of our schools, we will lose this republic. And I don't care if President Trump can accomplish every other thing on his agenda, but if we don't abolish that Department of Education, we will lose the country. It is that simple. Because right now, your public schools are literally churning out anti-ICE protesters.

That's what they're doing. On your dime. All right, 901-260-5926. Let's go to Salem, Oregon. Kathy on the line.

Hi, Kathy. What's going on? Good morning. Um, I have a cold, so sorry. Anyway.

I have a Muslim versus A Muslim family versus my big gentle boxer dog. Oh, what's your dog's name? She's passed away. Oh dear. I could cry when I think of it, but she's passed away.

But her name was Pink. All right, so you've got a dog here, a boxer dog, and Muslim neighbors. What happened? Tell us what happened. No, no, no, no, not neighbors.

But listen, I I took her to um The Home Depot store, the local Home Depot, and there was a Muslim family in the paint department, and that's where I was going.

So Tink and I were just walking along. And there was a dad, three kids, and a woman. He that dad took one look at Tink. And And Went behind his family. I thought he was going to crawl up the shelves.

and left his wife and three kids between My dog and me and him. It was the funniest. Right. And so what I'm going to do is, I'm going to send you a couple of videos and pictures of my boxer. How gentle she is.

Anyway. Well, you know, if you can I mean, they they do I mean there are some in the Islamic community, I have to say all of them, uh, but would consider the dog to be impure, I guess, which is why they freaked out. I think they look at dogs the same way we look at rats. Fair enough. Yeah, that very well could be.

That very well could be. All right. Well, Kathy, I hope you get a feeling better. Oh, yeah. I'm already starting to.

I just have the residual stuffy head. Good. Good. All right. Well, great calling in.

Thank you for calling, Kathy. Thank you for that. 901-260-5926. Again, 901-2626. 260-5926.

Going back to that point. About how the schools are radicalizing these kids. I want you to listen to these are just high school girls. Right, and this is what they're telling the reporter about who ICE agents are. Cut 13.

Coming to a city near you, they will find a way to blame you. They will kill you, and they will find a way to blame it. They will kill your friends and family. They will deport people. It is not far away enough that you can ignore it.

You know, you see the human rights violence and We have amendments protecting our rights to do things like bring guns. Or stand-up police officers. We are not a country that allows killing without due process. All right, that's killing without due process. All right, little girl.

Look, here's the issue here with this, folks. They are. Weaponizing your children against you. That's what that is. Unless these parents are having these kinds of conversations around the dinner table.

But I don't think most families eat dinner around the dinner table anymore.

So I think the greater argument is that these schools and these teachers are weaponizing your kids against you, mom and dad, and grandma and grandpa, and then all the rest of us. That's what I think is going on here. All right, let's go to the phones: 901-260-5926, Richard in Ocala, Florida. Hi, Richard. How do you do, sir, Mr.

Todd? Good to talk to you again, sir. Yes, sir. What's going on? Well, I Maybe the Democrats taking over these elections.

My opinion, mister Todd, is that Trump needs to do everything he can And between now and November, I realize he's working overloaded now. But if the Democrats take over, they're going to try to impeach him. He'll be a lame duck for the rest of two years. I think between now and then, he needs to fight as hard as he can to get everything done that needs done. I think he needs to go ahead and move the.

military in a place like Minna Minneapolis. And I think he needs to try to Get good conservative people. On the primary, all these rhinos. Every one of these rhinos that's refusing to pass the laws that the American people voted him to get done. I think we need to primar every one of them.

Go for broke, win, lose, or draw. This is our last shot at it. And present that to the American people, and I think the majority of the people back him. If they see we're trying to do what's right, I think they'll back. I think the majority of the people still fear God and love America.

But I think we gotta t fight. We gotta take a stand and fight it. Yeah, Richard, I agree with everything you just said there. And let me add to that. It's not a matter of they probably will, they will.

They will impeach President Trump every single week. For the next two years. That's what's going to happen. And then they'll go after every member of the administration. The entire agenda comes to a grinding halt.

There will be no more codification of any of President Trump's executive orders. It's over. That's what's at stake in November. And that has to be pounded into the brains of every single Republican voter. And I do hate to say this, but we've got a strain of laziness within the Republican Party.

Now, the good news here is, and this is where the glimmer of hope comes in, and Richard, thanks for that call. The glimmer of hope is, as bad as things are for the Republicans, they're even worse for the Democrats.

However, If the Democrats are able to energize their base, it could be problematic.

So that's what's at stake. We have got to stop the Democrats from impeaching our president every week because that's exactly. What will happen? By the way, there's something else brewing here, and I want to play some ought to you folks in Georgia. We have a lot of Georgia listeners.

There's a woman running for office. Her name is Susanna Karatassas. And she wants to punish all of you people.

So if the Democrats. in her mind, if the Democrats are able to take back The White House and both houses of Congress.

So they're able to do that. She says that all help needs to break loose and that Democrats need to start targeting. Pro-Trump conservatives. Take a listen. When this is all over and Trump is gone and Democrats are back in charge and we're rebuilding everything, the punishment for MAGA for voting Trump three times.

Needs to be that they lose their internet access for four years. that they cannot post Videos or comments on social media for four straight years so that none of us. are subjected to their lies and misinformation. While we are rebuilding the chaos that they caused, the whole world and America gets to be without their BS. online for four straight years.

Can we all agree to this? All right. No, we can't agree to that. That's crazy talk, woman. She's running for the state house in Georgia.

And she may have a chance to do it. Over in the Athens area.

So that is Susanna, hold on, Keratassus. And so she wants to punish all of us. She wants to send all of us to timeout for four years. All right, we got to take a break here. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, check this out. You know, as we've been paying attention to all this fraud that's happening in places like Minneapolis. and other places.

California is off the charts insane. I want you to listen to this Fox News report about home healthcare billing. You're not going to believe this. Take a listen. And doctor billed the government $120 million in a single year, claiming to oversee 1,900 patients.

With almost 2,000 hospice agencies, LA County has more than 36 states combined and 30 times more than either Florida or New York. 18% of the whole country's home health care billing is coming out of Los Angeles County. How is that possible? And take a look at this map, a cluster of 287 hospice providers in a two-mile radius, some in strip malls, unmarked buildings, even a wrecking yard and vacant lot. All of it is just paperwork.

I could fill that out in Kazakhstan if I want. and get a hospice license waiting for me. That's Insane, ladies and gentlemen. Look, I'm not terribly surprising, 18%. of the entire nation's home health care billing.

coming out of Los Angeles County. That's got to be addressed.

So, all that to say, there's a lot of work. There's a lot of investigation that needs to be done, and it's going to have to go beyond the four years of the Trump administration. I mean, this is something that That will have to, this is something that will have to go on for at least eight years. the level of fraud and corruption, and people are going to have to be held accountable as well. And that's where sometimes the Republicans get squirrely.

They don't want to they don't want to crack down, but they're going to have to. Because a message has to be sent that we're just not going to tolerate this level of fraud in this country at all, ever. 901-260-5926, our number. Hey, I want to remind you to head over to ToddSterns.com, ladies and gentlemen, and get yourself a signed copy of my brand new book. It's called Star Spangled Blessings: Devotions for Patriots.

It is a great way to commemorate the 250th birthday celebration of our great nation. And you can do that again by going over to ToddSterns.com or you can get a copy at Amazon wherever you buy your books. But it is a wonderful devotion book that tells you some stories about how God has blessed America, stories that maybe, just maybe, you were not aware of. Also, while you are over on the website, and if you haven't been over, I would encourage you to go over and check it out. We have a lot of great stories, we post fresh content every single day.

And we also have the newsletter that comes out every morning. More than a quarter million Christians and conservatives right now subscribe to the Todd Starn Show newsletter.

So you'll have an update on the big stories that we think are important. And of course, don't forget: if you haven't downloaded our podcast, gotta do that. All three hours of the Todd Stearns radio show available at your leisure. All right, we'll see you tonight, 5 o'clock on Newsmax, tomorrow, noon o'clock, right here on the radio. Get out there and be good, America.
