Trump Should Honor Old Dominion ROTC Cadets at White House

Let me ask you something. Do you ever feel like the financial rules are different depending on who you are? For years, Washington has operated a two-tier system. Regular investors are told to stick with the basics, while well-connected insiders get access to opportunities most people never hear about.

Now, a major AI-driven buildout is creating a new income-style opportunity tied to that shift. To see what it is and how it works, visit planwithoxford.com. That's planwithoxford.com.

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

I love. Love is American. Todd start. And happy Friday to you, America. Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Program.

Very happy to have you with us today. Wow, uh what a day yesterday. And we're going to rehash a little bit of what happened and some thoughts about where we are as a country right now. By the way, today is Open Line Friday. That means you get to call in.

You can talk about whatever is on your mind today, whatever questions you may have. Maybe we did not cover a topic that you wanted us to cover this week.

Well, give us a call and you'll be able to weigh in on that. Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. Again, that number, 901-260-5926. And we'll be getting to as many of your calls as possible. Possible today.

So bombing underway. And apparently, according to the Pentagon, this is going to be the biggest bombing raid that we have seen since the start of Operation Epic Fury. What are we calling it? We're not calling it a war anymore. We're calling what an excursion.

But anyway, we'll keep you updated on any developments there. We can tell you that the new Iranian leader, not off to a good start. And according to Pete Hankseth over at the Pentagon, they say the new Iranian leader. Is either likely disfigured. and maybe missing some body parts.

That's not good. And one of the reasons it's not good, and I just want to point this out here, is the poor guy hasn't even been able to get his official portrait made, you know, and you always want to look your best on Picture Day. at Teyron HQ. But Anyway, there you go. It is what it is.

Now We need to talk about What happened yesterday at the synagogue in Michigan and at Old Dominion University, and we told you to be prepared. For Um for some very bad news. and the bad news is that we have allowed the enemy to breach the gates. When history looks back. on what happened to the United States of America.

And when history looks back. On this nation, I think they will look back at the Obama years and the Biden years, and those will be really the defining moments. Those will the actions that took place. The decisions that were made. to open up our To open up our borders.

For anything goes. That's going to be the defining moment. We have allowed people to come into this country by the thousands, the thousands. And let me just say something about this for a moment. It really could be the millions.

I mean, that's how that's how bad this is. And the reality is that, and the government doesn't want to tell you this, I think these elect, you know, the Congress peeps that have been coming on this show over the years, I think they've been trying to prepare us for this reality. And the reality is this. We could have millions of sleeper cells operating in this country, right? We could have millions of people that are wanting to do what happened yesterday.

Millions. And that's going to be hard for us to wrap our heads around because we're dealing with some. Very dangerous situations.

Now keep in mind yesterday This is how bad it could have been. You could have had dozens of people killed. At Old Dominion University, you could have had. I mean, a hundred and forty kids. Children could have been slaughtered at that preschool.

at the synagogue there in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. But thank God the synagogue had security. Thank God that there were ROTC cadets in that classroom. at Old Dominion University.

Now We have to come to terms with the fact that we've got to be on alert. And it doesn't mean we have to live our lives in fear. I certainly don't live my life in fear, but I am aware. You know, you've got to be always aware of your surroundings. You always have to have a plan.

And by the way, that's something that you should be thinking about. Do you have a personal safety plan? When you go out, what are you doing to make sure that you and your family are as protected as can be against the Islamic radicals? And we have to ask this question because they have brought in, and when you look back at the Obama years and especially the Biden years, The Islamists were flown in. To Red states and predominantly red voting districts.

That's what happened. And it was all intentional. You think you really think that just by circums just by chance that the Biden administration was flying jetliners into the Chattanooga airports? In the dark of night and unloading people, you really think that was just by chance? As a matter of fact, Tennessee has a massive Muslim population in and around the Nashville area.

By the way, yesterday there was another strange incident, this one in Texas, where a guy dressed up in military gear, tactical gear, armed with a weapon, stormed into a school. He was arrested, turns out, yet another Muslim. And this is the common denominator. All of these people that have been arrested from Austin, Texas, and there are two common denominators. Austin, Texas.

Old Dominion, New York City the Michigan synagogue, all of them came here to this country from other places, all of which, by the way, are hot beds of radical Islam, and all of them are Muslim. And you've got lawmakers like Congressman Randy Fine and Senator Tommy Tuberville, and you've got Congressman Andy Ogles from Tennessee, and these guys, Congressman Chip Roy, they have actually started an anti-Sharia caucus. And we're going to get them on next week to talk about this because they understand the clear and present danger that this country is facing right now. My question to you is. What do we do here?

Do we round up all the Muslims and deport everybody? Do we only deport the ones that want to blow us all to smithereens? And how do we know who wants to kill us? I mean, it's shocking when you actually think about how bad this is going to get in this country. Because I suspect, and by the way, bomb threat at the University of Virginia.

That was called in just a little while ago. This kind of stuff is only going to get worse. I mean, that's the reality of it. But I want to start today by talking about these ROTC guys.

So the jihadist storms into the classroom, and it appears that he was actually looking for, he was targeting ROTC. And he shouted out, Allah, Allah Akbar. And what happened? As soon as he shouted, the guns started ablazing. And as the as the FBI told us, That they said, Well, look, here's the deal.

Uh they were basically um unalive to this guy. Cup number five. Uh the there were students in that room that subdued him. And uh rendered him no longer I don't know how else to say it, but they basically were able to terminate the threat.

So he was not shot? He was not shot. He shot three people. Correct. We have information that he shot three people.

Yeah, and it would have been a lot more a lot. More, but thank goodness those ROTC agents, we're still not getting. We're not getting a lot of intel. But here's what we can tell you, is that apparently the ROTC students, the cadets, they jumped up and they basically stabbed this guy to death. And I just want to say thank you to those young men.

I think President Trump ought to bring all of those young men. To and their families to the White House, these young men should be honored, they should be decorated, they are heroes. And every single student in that classroom who's spoken out has said that these cadets saved people's lives yesterday. And you know why the FBI agent was being coy? Because this is Virginia, and they have radical pro-Islamists in the statehouse right now.

And I guarantee you, the FBI is concerned that the Attorney General may try to go after these guys for taking out the jihadists. That's one of the reasons why she used such weird language. In that press conference.

So look, 901-260-5926. We're going to be taking your calls about this, solutions you might have. Also, The Save America Act, it is There's going to be a war over this, folks, and we're going to have to send a message to our elected leaders. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Star Show.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Happy to have you with us on this Open Line Friday edition of the show. Let's go right to our phones. As promised, we will start the day in Clear Lake City, Texas. Mike, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920.

Mike, what's on your mind today?

Well, you mentioned the Sharia law ban with Governor Abbott proposing. It's a joke. You talk about how the coming Muslim invasion and we're going to be taking over it. We're in the middle of it. There are approximately three thousand mosques already in America.

There's three approximately three hundred and fifty in Texas. There's 200 in the Houston area alone. The takeover is already here. And my question I can't get anyone to answer and I've talked at Abbott's office, Paxton's office. I've gone down the list, local politicians.

When when the ban is passed, And they violated Then what? And no one can answer that question.

Well, I'm not sure anything would happen, Mike. And again, we have seen time and time again where these terrorists are just simply being let out. I mean, the guy that attacked Old Dominion University, he was actually convicted of our nation's highest terrorism charge. Why was this guy allowed to walk the streets? That's those are the questions that I want answered.

And that really at some point these judges are going to have to be held accountable for putting these predators back out on the streets.

Well, the the Democrats own the federal judges. They own the bench. And that's why Pres that's why President Trump, every time he tries to do something, it gets blocked. That the That's like an what do you call it, a uh firewall, you know, in in in uh computer talk. They're the buffer between anything happening.

It's cut off at that level. In uh like the uh Mundami when he had Khalil, it it the uh Gracie Mansion, they celebrated, you know, Ramadan and all like that. Why is that guy still in the country? It's a great question, Mike, and we're not getting any answers. And the reality is, and I just hate to say this, but you know one thing we haven't been talking about for the past two weeks, Mike?

We haven't been talking about ICE or the deportation efforts, none of that. And ICI again, it's all part of a It's all part of a strategy because somebody The pollsters and the big dollar campaign guys that run all these campaigns, and we're talking about millions and millions of dollars on, really tens of millions of dollars on the line. And they're telling the White House and they're telling Republican leadership that immigration and deportation, especially, is a losing issue on the campaign trail. When, in fact, Mike, if you ask the average person out there if they support deportation, they're going to tell you absolutely they support deportation.

Well, that that's the problem with Washington, D. C.

now. All these publicans go to DC making these promises. And then they turn out to be rhinos. Jon Thune and Mike Johnson are dragging their feet. hoping that we lose the midterms in the majority.

That way, they don't have to do anything. They're just going to sit back, write out President Trump's term and then the Uniparty will be back in power in twenty twenty eight. You know, it's interesting you brought that up, Mike. If you remember, it was Gosh, about five months after President Trump got inaugurated, and I did a full hour. On my concerns that the Republicans were not moving fast enough.

And that I had fears that the reason why they were not moving fast enough is because there were. There were people within our party that did not want the president's agenda to succeed and to move forward. And as I warned people, I said, you know, we're not dealing with. a two-year segment here. We're not even dealing we're definitely not dealing with four years.

We've got less than two years because by the time the summer comes along, everybody's going to be out on the campaign trail and nothing's going to get done. And I remember the phones lit up and people are like, Starnes, you're just a worry wart. You're a panicking, Starnes. Just stop complaining. They're going to get to it.

Well my They didn't get to it.

Well, I can tell you right now That if Cornyn winds up as the nominee for the Senate, and Paxton drops out, he won't win because the Paxton base isn't going to vote for him. That means Talleric will win. And what's going to happen in it, even if Courtney were to win, what'll happen if, say, Ted Cruz gets nominated to the Supreme Court?

Soon's going to go to Trump and say the only way he gets confirmed is if you endorse our candidate again like you did Cornyn. And so Texas then winds up with two rhino senators. It's yes. No, it's a fair point. But let me ask you this.

You're telling me that if Cornyn is the nominee in Texas, he is so hated by the base. If he's the nominee, you don't think he could win reelection? No, and that that's the problem. You I hear people talking on the radio about that, like other radio talk show hosts, and it's well, you got to vote for Corning because you got to take the lesser of two evils. I'm telling you.

Almost twenty four years of corn and stabbing us in the back, I'm telling you, people are done with voting for the lesser of two evils. And the people that say, oh, that's just going to put Tallarico in office.

Well, so be it. Do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may, because all you're doing is prolonging the inevitable. if you put in Tallarico, because the next senator, like I said, if truth goes to the to the Supreme Court, they're going to pick another establishment candidate for for the senator and you and you're going to wind up with A whacked out Democrat and another rhino.

So like it it's a no-win situation here in Texas. Whether corner wins or not. But I'm telling you, the Paxton base is not going to turn out for Cornyn. Mike, how important is President Trump's endorsement for Paxton? you talk about if Trump endorses Paxton?

Yes, yes. I mean, Trump hasn't endorsed anybody yet.

So if how important is it for Trump to pick Paxton? Is that going to move the needle for anybody? No, the best thing for President Trump to do is stay out of it and let them both run. I'm telling you, Paxton will clean his clock. Because most of the voters that voted for Wesley Hunt will vote for Paxton.

Paxton will win by at least five to seven percentage points. All right.

Well, look, Mike, we're going to have to let you go here. I'm sure folks in Texas are going to want to weigh in and respond on that. Thank you for the call. Look, here's to recap what Mike said: if Cornyn's the nominee, then Cornyn's going to lose. That the base of the party will not support Cornyn.

And look, I get that. And I don't know about you, but I'm tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. Why should we have to do that? And quite frankly, I think it would send a message to the Republicans that we're playing hardball now. It's a new day.

It is a new day in America. And we're not going to vote just because somebody has an R behind their names. And maybe that's the message we need to send here. All right, we're going right to your phone calls. Hang tight, everybody.

Tomorrow's Saturday, right? No, tomorrow. Of course it's Saturday. What's tomorrow? Tomorrow is St.

Patrick's Day. Wow. The luck of the Irish. I forget about that holiday. You know, it's interesting.

There's a huge parade in downtown Memphis on Beale Street. And they had the is it there's is there still a bar? There used to be a bar there, and they had these goats, and they were very um athletic. What they were the diving goats? I thought you were going to talk about the green beer.

I have not heard about the goats. Yeah, they actually have, there's a bar. I'm going to have to, we'll look this up. It sounds pretty fun. I know somebody has probably seen these, but the reporting I've heard, and I don't know if anybody, somebody will have to verify this in our Memphis audience, is that the goats dive into a pool.

They literally dive into a pool of water. That's very entertaining.

So I'm not sure what that has to do with Ireland, but you know. You have to train these goats. This is like a one guy. This is his thing. It's a thing.

Look, you've got to have your thing and you've got to work that thing. I guess so. I mean, it's like when we had the ice storm, right? And the people were charging $350 an hour. To shovel snow.

Yeah, they waited their whole life for Memphis to get snow. Guess who's unemployed right now? It's like 70 degrees outside. I'm just saying. But anyway, have you noticed something about St.

Patrick's Day, though? There's a lot of cultural appropriation going on. This is true. Of many of the people that attend the Memphis Project. What are red wigs?

I'm just saying, I'm not, you know. I'm just saying. You're right. By the way, you know where Dieter is? Yes, I do.

He's out skiing. He didn't tell us either. No, he's high fuller.

Well, he may have told me. Oh, he didn't.

Okay.

Well, he's having a great time. What, Breckinridge? Yeah.

Well, have you heard the news? No, I haven't. He decided to go jogging, and I was afraid he was going to break his leg like skiing, but apparently he fell. He's like all bruised up and banged up. He went jogging.

I said, it looked like a bear had attacked the poor guy. I don't know. Anyway, so everybody's out on spring break doing their thing.

So I hope you folks are having a happy St. Patrick's Day celebration, drinking lots of. you know, libations, green sprite. etcetera. Let's go to the phones here.

We have full lines.

So, if you're calling, don't worry. You're getting a busy signal, but don't worry. We have lines that will open up. 901-260-5926. Let's go to Georgia, the great WDUN.

Levi is on the line. Hi, Levi. What's on your mind? Mm-hmm. Uh, I was just wondering you were talking earlier about, um uh A bomb threat that was happening somewhere?

Yes, Old Dominion.

Sorry, not Old Dominion, the University of Virginia. I was wondering if there was some uh more information on that.

Well, just that a bomb threat had been reported to the library on on campus there. Why why do you ask? I was just wondering. Oh, well, okay. Yep, that's it.

So they evacuated the library on campus, and police are telling everybody to avoid the area.

So this is probably a copycat. You know, these things kind of happen after you've got these attacks like this. And by the way, it's also a crime. And my philosophy is: if you call in a threat like this, you go to jail. Levi, thanks for the call, though.

Let's go to. Rodney in Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Hey, Rodney, what's going on? Hello, Todd. Jeez and Lou, sir.

Well, GZaloo, right back to you. Hey, I just wanted to say I agree with Mike, your previous caller. Let Texas handle Texas business. And you know, if it comes down between a vote, between Cornyn and Tai Rico. I'll just no vote on that deal.

Uh I'm not going to be forced to choose. the better of two evils. And yes, I know Paxton had look Drama way back when he had enough prayer on his wife. But, you know, so did King David, and he repented, and God called him a man after his own heart. But Paxton has done remarkable, remarkable things for us here in Texas.

I want to keep that momentum going. We love him here in Texas, and yes, he is well supported here. He doesn't need the president's endorsement. He carries his own record, he stands on his own record, and we'll go with that. Ronnie, this is, look, I like your approach here.

And again, I think one of the problems we've had as Republicans is we've bought into this idea of, well, you know what? You've got to vote for the Republican. Otherwise, the Democrats are, you know, so basically they're forcing you to take, you know, the lesser of the candidates. And I say we've got to stop doing that. We've got to break that cycle.

And maybe this is a way to do that. Amen. I agree with you, Brother Todd. All right.

By the way, I'm curious, Rodney, to get your take on this. There's a new list out: the number of mosques in all the states. California. 570. I'm sorry, New York, 570, California, 481.

And Texas Number three, 399 mosques in Texas. Are you surprised by those numbers? Yes, sir. To be honest with you, I am. And I am I'm leading it's funny you even mention that because I'm leading the charge here as a delegate going to our Senate convention of one trying to be built right here in our neighborhood, right here in Crosby.

We just found out about it. They've been here since twenty twenty two operating very quietly. They don't make a lot of noise. but now they want to expand and build a huge mosque right here in our backyard. And people here are furious about it.

So we're going to try to do what we can legally to try to push back against that, not sit on our hands and just let it happen.

So yeah, I am to but yes, to answer your question, I'm very surprised that there are that many because they've been so quiet about it.

Well, it's been sort of, it's been very stealth. And Rodney, I'm, gosh, how long ago was this? I wrote, wow, what book? This may have been my second book. This was back in like 2008, 2009.

And I was reading a story. I was doing a lot of research for the book, and I came across a story from the Orange County Register. And they were interviewing Islamic scholars, and they said that part of their mission. was in the aftermath of 9-11. was to change people's minds about about Uh Islam.

And they said one of the ways they could do that was by getting a lot of Islamic scholars onto these textbook writing groups.

So, a lot of the textbooks that you are reading, and over the years, we've heard reports about this where, when it comes to telling the history of Islam, there was one history book and it said the Islamists never invaded a country. They were always welcomed into the countries, and the countries prospered as a result.

So, there's just flat-out wrong information about Islam, and it's all intentional. And the reason why you reminded me of that because you said these mosques just kind of came up out of nowhere.

Well, that's the whole point. And the Islamic scholar in the interview with the Orange County Register at the time said this was really a stealth way. Of inserting Islam into the nation's public school system.

So there you go. All right.

Absolutely. You know, GOA has a saying, they call it death by a thousand cuts, and they use that in another scenario, but it's the same principle: death by a thousand cuts, sir. Hey, Todd, thank you for taking my call. I really enjoyed talking to you. I love your show.

And G's Alou, sir.

Well, G's Alou, right back to you, Rodney. Rodney from Crosby, Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. You mentioned G-O-A, and I do believe that's Gun Owners of America, and we are huge fans of that great organization. All right, let's go to our good buddy, Joe, from Ella J, Georgia. It's never a great open line Friday unless Joe from Ella J phones.

And hey, Joe, what's happening? It's a great show, as always. I tell you what, I'm really proud of Donald Trump. I think what our military has done in Iran is just amazing. We've we've stopped them totally.

And I believe that once this conflict is over, which I think will be in probably well, any day now. I think the stock market, which has been down a little bit, I think it'll come roaring back to new highs. And I just think Trump is the best leader in history, and I know you support him and You know, I also want to say that I really enjoy seeing you on news, Max. I think more and more people are telling me that they're watching news, Max, and I think you have a lot to do with that. And And I I think it's a great network, and I want to encourage more people to watch you on N uh Newsmax than watch Newsmax because I think it's a great network, and I know you think so also.

But I think Trump is just doing great, Todd, and I appreciate all the support you've given him because he's, in my opinion, he's the best in history. You know, Joe, by the way, I want to share some news. You're going to love this. It turns out that Cuba has just announced, the President of Cuba just announced that they're holding talks with The Trump administration. Want to know why they're holding to River?

The president said this would be coming, that change was coming to Cuba. Joe, the reason why is because they have a severe fuel shortage right now, and they realize the only people that can help them, not Venezuela anymore, it's Donald J. Trump. Boy, I tell you, that's that's great news. Uh Todd, I think Trump is just He just keeps doing great things, and I really appreciate your support on him because, in my judgment, he's the best in history.

Well said, Joe. All right, we got to run, my friend. Good hearing from you. That's Joe from Ella J, Georgia. He was the very first caller on my very first show we did.

And someone sent me a note a few days ago. They said, Starnes, do you realize that, you know. Since Rush Limbaugh passed away, you've been broadcasting in the noon to three time slot more than any other radio host out there.

So we are the. Are we the senior statesmen of the talk radio world? I don't want I don't know. That sounds hoity-toity. You know, I don't want to, yeah.

We're just regular folks around here.

Someone's going to call in and confirm that for you. No, it's true. It's official. No, it is official. 901-260-5926.

I want to talk to you for just a moment, if I could, everybody. And trust me, we're getting to all of your calls today. But hang tight for just a moment. We have been, and when you've seen what's been happening with the media coverage over the past, I don't know, especially the past couple of weeks with the war. Look at what CNN, how CNN had described the terrorist attack in New York City, saying that it was really the mayor, and this was an attack on Muslims.

They're flat out lying to you. And one of the reasons why is because most of the people who populate those newsrooms. are radical leftist. That's a big problem. A big problem.

And even in the conservative media world, most of the people working in those newsrooms are, in fact, liberal. And it's a shock. I remember my good friend Bill Shine. Bill was Roger Ailes' number two. Bill ran the channel, Fox News channel.

Good friend of mine, we stay in touch to this day. And Bill called me in one day, and I'll never forget this conversation. He said, You know, it's interesting. Uh starn's. He said maybe about maybe about 1% or 2% of the building of the people in this building actually believe in the conservative values that the company was built on.

And then he said, but people like you and me, who have a true affinity for conservatism, he said that number is maybe 1%. And I'm sitting here going, maybe 0.5%. I think that's what he said. It was a tiny, a teeny, tiny number. And I thought to myself, well, what happens to Fox News when that 1% goes away?

Because most of us were booted out the door at Fox. And so now you have what is really a fake form of conservatism, and you see it pop out every now and again. But it's not authentic because most of the people at Fox and most of the people at the conservative networks just really are not conservatives. I was talking to a reporter yesterday. The reporter reached out to me and said, I can't reveal the name, but he's a network reporter.

And he said, you know, he says, I love how you, what you say on X. He goes, how do you get away with that? And I'm like, well, I own my own company. And he was laughing because he said, you know, not a lot of people in the conservative reporting world actually believe what we believe. And I'm like, no, no, no, trust me, I get it.

So we're going to do something about that. And we are sort of really for the next few months, we're slow walking the Starnes Media Group Foundation, the Todd Starnes show. We're owned by my media company, Starnes Media Group, and we're starting a foundation. And it's going to raise up next generation journalists, and we want. We want strong conservative Christian journalists in the media.

And we're going to do our part. And I realized we have an opportunity here because a lot of the young people that have come through our show and they've either interned on the show or they've been employed here, they have gone on to great things. We have interns and we have alumni working in places like the Washington Post and Newsmax and Fox News and Just The News. We have alumni that are working in local media. And we want to increase those numbers.

And so I'm really going to embrace this movement to fix what is broken in America's newsrooms. And we need your help.

Now, if you go to ToddSterns.com right now, you will see a little note from me. It says a word from Todd. And if you click on that, oh, that's a terrible photograph. Dylan, we got to work on the photo. I look like I'm grimacing.

Jeez, hello. It's okay. It's time for an updated one. It's like. Please donate.

No. But but again, it's it's an opportunity for you as a listener. Maybe you're one of our readers.

Gold and silver recently soared to record highs, then pulled back.

So are precious metals still a goodbye? many Wall Street experts predict higher prices ahead. Why? Because we still have trillions in national debt, a declining dollar, and inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way, gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection.

That's why Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the 60-40 stock and bonds portfolio and recommended up to 20% in precious metals.

And we welcome you to this program wherever you might be, border to border, coast to coast. across the fruited plain. I want to say hello to our friends watching us from Valdosta, Georgia today. That is way down below the NAT line, as they say. Many of you who might be watching us on our YouTube, Rumble, or Social media platforms.

And so we do a digital broadcast. We're doing a lot of upgrades. Ian, our digital guy, Dylan, we got to come with a clever nickname. Yeah, we did. Yeah, we do.

Any suggestions? He's a tech wizard, maybe? Oh, that's good. Tech wizard. Digital deity.

That might work. I don't know, we'll come up with something clever.

So, anyway, Ian's been very hard at work and just joined us and has been making a lot of great changes to our graphics and everything.

So, we're excited about that, and we're excited for you to see it as well. By the way, our telephone number, I want you to write this down: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Also, I want to say hello to our good friend Sidney, who's listening to us in Lancaster, California. That's the Antelope Valley in northern Los Angeles County.

Beautiful desert area. It's in the 70s out there.

So, well done. All right.

Real quick, I want to go to the phone lines. Clark was kind enough to hold over from the break, Moorhead City, North Carolina. Clark, what is on your mind?

Well, first of all, I want to thank you for what you're doing, and also President Trump. I think he's doing an outstanding job. And uh I just uh concerned about the borders for How do we even get this situation? We're supposed to have closed borders, people are supposed to cross borders to a door where we can check them and stuff. And I think that the crowd that was in there last time, Biden and all of them and said that happened, they ought to be on trial.

Yes.

Well, Clark, yeah, Clark, let me ask you: are you in the middle of like a tornado right now? Is that what's going on?

Well, I'm at work and I had to come over here where nobody sees me to talk to you. Oh, you're good now. We can hear you now. That wind was a blowing. But yeah, you know, Clark, you know, you bring up an interesting point.

You know, there are just no consequences for what the previous administration did. And by the way, there were some Republicans involved in all of that. And I just, for me, this is not a political party issue. This is a matter of right or wrong. And you're right.

I mean, nobody's held accountable.

Well, we got these rhinos out there and stuff. I mean, what the other guy was talking about, you know, you were talking about the party, and just because it's a Republican, not to vote for. And uh we need to get people need to get involved. And people need to people are backing out of politics and need to be getting in instead of backing out. And uh we need to get put people in there that we know that there's not there's no rhino stuff in there.

Mm-hmm. No, I think, look, I think you're absolutely right, Clark. And this, look, um. We're not going to get anywhere near done what needs to be done. I really do hope that the good people of Texas will get behind Ken Paxton.

I think Paxton's going to be a great supporter of the President in the Senate. I'm hoping for a miracle there in North Carolina. You know, that's going to be a big challenge because my understanding is Roy Cooper is a pretty popular guy. Is that accurate? Is that true?

Well, he's he's won every everything he's ever run for. He's won. But That people need to remember now, he didn't get up in there and do nothing for them people in western North Carolina. And uh he didn't do nothing for them folks up there whenever them storms went through them floods and everything. And I hope that people are hearing this on your radio station.

But uh we don't need him. I I we don't need that guy. And so thank you so much for what you're doing.

Well, Clark, thank you for calling in and thank you for listening. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Now, just a little while ago, President Trump was on the radio with Brian Kilmead. And the President is pretty fired up about John Thune.

The Senate Majority Leader.

Now, we on this program have been urging the Republicans to remove Thune from leadership. That has not happened. It ought to happen, but it's not going to happen. President Trump. Here's what he had to say about Thune.

I guess Senator John Thune's kind of at a log jam. Look, I think he's a wonderful person. I do. But he seems to be uh Not that he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't think he can do it.

And that's bad. I mean, how can you not get voter ID approved? How can you not get, you know, citizenship approved? Proof of citizenship is what we're asking for. That's all Trump is asking for: is that if you go and vote on election day, you've got to show proof that you.

Are an American citizen. It is very, very simple. And yet Jon Thune simply refuses to do what needs to be done.

Now in the last hour, and I d you know, I don't like to do the I told you so. I I don't. I'm not one of those guys. But I told you so. Back I was, you guys were calling me every name under the book.

or in the book. every day. Oh, Tan is just a worry ward. The glass is always half, half empty with that guy. He's a pannikin, that guy Stearns is.

No, I'm a realist, and I've been down this road many, many times. And I was hoping to light a fire under these Republicans so they would not get to the point where they could use time as an excuse. And that's exactly what they're doing. Do you realize right now, do you know what the U.S. Senate is doing right now?

Absolutely nothing. You want to know why they're doing nothing? Because they're not in session today. Why are they not in session? They've got a lot of work to do.

Now there are some people out there who contend that a lot of this just has to do with flat out laziness, that we've got a crop of senators and they just don't like to work. And that may be a good part of it. But I think the overarching issue here, I truly do, is that the Republican Party is trying to stop Donald Trump's agenda. That's what I think is ultimately going on here. And I think you folks in Texas have a unique opportunity because you have the chance to say, you know what?

We're not just going to vote for John Cornyn because he's the incumbent or because he has an R behind his name, because he can't be trusted. And by the way, he can't be trusted. You know, he's out there saying, well, you know, if you guys put me back in, I'll support President Trump all the way. Why haven't you been doing it, sir? What what's been stopping you?

You can't trust somebody like that. You will know them by the votes they cast. That's what the good book says. The book of Hezekiah. Look it up.

I'm just telling you, you can't trust the guy. And he very well looked. Jon Thune may very well be a nice guy. But the fact is, he's a politician, and you can't trust a politician. You just can't.

They're just going to tell you what they're going to tell you what you want to hear so they can get your vote. Oh, by the way, President Trump also. raging on these these uh jihadists That made the attacks in Michigan and Virginia. Take a listen to that. It's a disgrace.

They're six they're really demented people. And uh has been going on for a long time. They come into the country, they sneak in. You know, we have a solid border now. We have a border that's a hundred percent nine months, nobody coming in.

But they came in and they came in a lot through Biden and they came in through other presidents, frankly, and it's a disgrace. But what we took in over the last four years, four years preceding, my take in because we had that border pretty well wrapped up within three months. And he could have done the same thing. We took in 25 million people and many of those people came from bad places.

So it's a shame. When you hear about these things, it's a shame. Very sad.

Well, it is sad, and they're all entirely preventable. And to our callers, point a Clark from North Carolina who called in. You know, at what point are we going to start holding these judges accountable? At what point are we going to start holding these prosecutors accountable for letting these very dangerous people back out onto the streets? I want to tell you a little bit about the guy who Hi.

who shot up that classroom. And Han Had he not been stopped, we would have been talking about a massacre in that classroom. His name is Mohammed Jalal. He's a 36-year-old ex-member of the National Guard. also served in the Virginia Army National Guard.

This guy pled guilty in 2016 to attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State. That's ISIS. A designated terrorist. organization. In twenty seventeen he was sentenced to only eleven years in prison.

For that conviction. He was released in 2024. and remained under supervised release. He was under supervised release at the time of the attack yesterday. This is unacceptable.

US District Judge Liam O'Grady is the guy that handed down the eleven year prison sentence. We do not have any information on the judge. who set this guy free. W they have not released that information. But I'm telling you right now that this is a bad dude.

Look at what happened in Austin, Texas. When you had the Islamists shooting at Buford's bar, there in the downtown area. He had a property of Allah shirt. And by the way, the FBI has yet. to categorize that as a terrorist attack.

I don't know what they're waiting for. By the way, Jalal came to this country from Sierra Leone in West Africa, which is a hotbed. of Islamic terrorism. Unbelievable. All right, let's go to the phones here: 901-260-5926-Ocala, Florida.

Sonny is on the line. Hi, Sonny. What's going on? Hi. I think it's about time we should start suing the Democrats who are supposed to be representing the people that elected them and the country since they are now in office and then being paid by the public.

Taxpayer. The holding up and closing the government as far as the Coast Guard, the eight Homeland Security, et cetera. it is not right what they are doing, especially with what's happening in our country now. I mean, what's happening now shows that we need Um Nice. and everybody's earlier at the beginning, with these so called the terrorist or Americans or whatever you want to call them.

uh they're no good and What makes it worse is the Demirats who go along with this holding our government and the American people up for hostage. That's what they're doing. And I think that's criminal and it should be considered as such. as far as people like Chucky Slimeball Schnuelma, I don't have rest of it. People, including the rhinos.

Now, Sonny, I know you live in Florida now. Where did you grow up? New York. All right.

So yeah, I kind of picked up a little dialect there. It's not very strong. It's not very, but it's there, Sonny. But I got a question for you. When you look and see what Zora Mamdami has done to New York City, And what the voters of New York City have allowed to happen to the Big Apple, that has to be so, so sad for you.

Well, it is. Anything that happens in our country is I feel I take it personally. I'm an American. I don't know about these other people. maybe we've got too many other people in this country, and we should go along with mass deportations, not individuals.

Just round them up Fine. You want to demonstrate you can do that in some other place or maybe in uh Florida where we got that big detention center. They can demonstrate all they want down there. Oh, yeah. Alligator Alley.

Yeah, Alligator Alley. Yeah, one dynamo. Or Guantanamo, yes. Either one would be good. All right, Sonny, I got to run.

I am late for a break, but thank you for calling in. Good hearing from you, my friend. And we love all of our great listeners there in Florida listening to us on WOC. Hey, all right. Just want to remind you: head over to the website ToddSterns.com.

Welcome back to the Ton Sterns Radio Show. Happy to have you with us today. Dylan, I want to play a Trivia, we're going to throw out a trivia question. We're getting ready to say, what, St. Patrick's Day over the weekend, right?

So we had to be a little festive. Why not? All right, so here's this could be difficult for people. But I don't mean, I don't, I don't know. We do need to make, we've kind of gotten some complaints that our trivia questions have been a little too easy.

So, we're going to try to throw everybody for a loop here. We're going to play some audio from a popular TV show. And you have to tell us the name of the T V show. And you have to tell us the name. No, we'll do the TV show.

It's going to be hard enough. All right.

So, Dylan, play cut number one. As to me, I ain't done nothing. You had sex with Willemaston. Ain't nothing wrong with that. She's 18 and legal.

She's retired! The laugh is not part of the show, but can we play that one more time?

So, this was the TV show. Should we give people a clue? Um no, not that it should be. Do you know what the I didn't know. I haven't seen this.

But if you want to make it hard, we shouldn't give it to the decade. You can give a decade. It was, I think, it was in the 90s that this show was popular. It was a one-hour show. I'm giving too much information.

So, one more time, let's take a listen. Listen to me, I ain't done nothing. You had sex with Willem Maston. Ain't nothing wrong with that. She's 18 and legal.

She's retarded. Oh, just You know, you could actually talk like that on TV at one time in America. Back in the day, I guess. Can you tell us the name of that TV show, ladies and gentlemen? 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. If you know the name of the show. All right, we're gonna get to your calls. Uh people already starting to think. All right, got to take a break.

901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starring Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. It's the Todd Stearns Radio Show. We have a trivia question out.

Let's go to the phones. Live in Cordova, Tennessee. Down in the Dova as they live, how are you doing today? I'm doing good. How are you doing?

Well, I'm doing well. Liv, thank you for asking. Listening to us on KWAM, our flagship radio station. Liv, we're going to try to win you a prize. I can't make any promises, but can we play the let's go to the audio here?

Who exactly, what show is this? Let's take a listen to the audio again. Mr. Me, I ain't done nothing. You had sex with Willa Maston.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. She's 18 and legal. She's retarded. She's a loop. Who are we talking about, Liv?

What's the show? It's it's Allen's family. Oh, no, that is live. That's incorrect. Good ch good guess, though.

Let's go to Joe in North Carolina. Joe, what's the answer?

Well, I was gonna say all in the family as well. No, Joe, no, no, no. Let's go to uh Don in North Carolina. Don, what was the name of the show? Those were the days with Archie Bunker.

No no, Don, I can't. Dylan, I think I may have made it too hard. No, this is what they wanted. This is exactly what they wanted. You're right.

You know what? The people demanded it, and we delivered, and you're not going to, we're not backing down. No, never. Should we give them a clue? No, we can't give them a clue.

All right.

Um Let's go to Lou in Georgia. Lou, we're going to play the audio one more time. I just want to make sure you get this because. Lou, I don't know if you've noticed this, but everybody's gotten it wrong so far. Yeah, you know, I'm not everybody.

Whoa, all right. Luke, he's all right. Let's go to the tape. Listen to me, I ain't done nothing. You had sex with Willa Maston.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. She's 18 and legal. She's retarded! Yeah.

Who are we talking about, Lou? What show? The show would be uh in the heat of the night.

Alright, let's uh go to the tape. In the heat of the night, come on now, come on. I've got trouble night blue and by the way Dylan that's back when when TV shows actually had real theme songs That's a pretty good theme slot. I mean you could you could be you could hear that down on Beale Street. Yeah, Lou, congratulations.

You know, everybody, you know what? You know, everybody got twisted up. Uh Carol O'Connor. Carol O'Connor. That's right.

He sort of slipped back into that Archie Bunker dialect, didn't he? Exactly.

Now, now, Lou, you're what part of Georgia are you in, Lou? I'm actually kinda in Gainesville area in Homer. All right.

Well, you know that the the the and the heat of the night was actually uh a T V series based on a movie, but they actually filmed that program in Covington and Conyers, Georgia, not too terribly. Far away from you guys. Yep, exactly. And the weird thing was, the show was based in Sparta, Mississippi, but they filmed it in Georgia. And the very first season, I think they were in Hammond, Louisiana, which is home of Southeastern Louisiana University.

So a little bit of trivia there. But, you know, another interesting component here of the story, Lou, is that not only was Carol O'Connor the star of it, but he also was one of the producers and writers, and he was the executive producer, and he used a fake name, Matt Harris. To be the producer, writer, and script editor.

So he was all hands-on. And one of his sons played on it, was a policeman on there. That's right. Which, oh gosh, there was who was his son? He had a little.

some trouble and all that, but uh yeah, he was on there for a little while. Lonnie Jameson. He was Lonnie Jameson. Exactly.

That's it. Yeah, that's it. Wow. All right, Lou, congratulations. We're going to hook you up with a little prize here.

So don't go anywhere. We're going to want to get your information. But thanks for playing trivia today. All right, there you Dylan. It was hard.

We delivered. I wouldn't have known that. Yeah, it's a really great show. You know, it was a good show. It was a little too preachy.

Carol O'Connor. who start as Archie Bunker. And Archie Bunker, the character, was like an America first patriot, like back in the nineteen seventies. And that was back when you could say a lot of stuff on T V that you're not allowed to say. You know, these days, as a matter of fact, I mean, Carol O'Connor back in the heat of the night, that was in the 19, what, 1998?

You could still say retired on air without getting, you know, canceled. Mm. Yeah, well I grew up with The Office, so that was like the show that nowadays you can't make. But no, no. I do appreciate those shows because people are too sensitive.

But the funny thing here, the irony is that Carol O'Connor was the exact opposite of the character he played, Archie Bunker. He was a radical leftist, and he was, you know, so in the heat of the night, he made sure that there was a lot of political commentary in, you know, kind of embedded into the program. I don't like that. It's forced, and I want to be entertained, and that's the way it goes. But he also did not do a good job of playing a Southerner, as you just heard.

Yeah.

Shows nowadays are way too political, so it could be worse. I think that Jackie Gleason played a better Southern sheriff than Carol O'Connor did. And who was it that played?

Somebody will call in.

Somebody will call in on this. Remember the Dukes of Hazard? Have you ever seen the Dukes of Hazzard? I've seen parts of it. Yeah.

What is wrong with that? You can be disappointed in that. I've heard of that, and a lot of people think I need to watch it. I will. I mean, you know, so our parents, this is, this was, I'm sort of dating myself here, but when Dukes of Hazzard came out, my parents.

We had moved to Louisiana, and there was not a Southern Baptist church there, so we had to go to an independent Baptist church. And this church thought like TV was a sin. And so all of my classmates were like watching the Dukes of Hazard, and I had to sneak, you know, I had a little TV in my room. And I had to play it real low so we could watch the Duke Zapans. I think I got the toy car.

Was it the orange? It was like an orange car. That's what I remember from the General Lee. Yeah.

I got that as a toy. But I never really watched the the Is it a movie or a show?

Okay.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are the times that dry men's souls. I'm just saying. I bought the toy. I had the toy.

So, so it was a TV show. The Dukes of Hastri had Luke Duke and Beauduke. And have you ever been, have you ever heard somebody, you're down on Beale Street, and a young lady walks by, and she's wearing short shorts? Yes.

Daisy Duke. Oh, yeah. Daisy Duke's.

Okay.

So Daisy Duke was the cousin, and she wore. Short shorts, and she took her shirt and she tied it around to make it kind of look like a, I guess, a halter top.

Okay.

And then there was Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. And then there was the deputy, Enos. And then you had Boss Hog. Who was like the county like Commissioner.

Okay.

They were all white. All white.

So who drove the car? Oh, Bowen Luke Duke.

Okay.

That's like the main car, right? That's the general E. Yeah, that's their car.

So I'm not like too gone. I'm not too far off. Yeah.

Like. I just need to watch it. As a matter of fact, last year, I don't know if you've seen this video. It's an amazing video, but somebody in Somerset, Kentucky, they had like a little downtown area. And in the middle of the downtown, they have sort of like the town square with like a fountain.

And so they decided to jump the General Lee over the fountain. And thousands of people came out to watch this thing. Wow. It was pretty impressive. That's cool.

35,000 people turned out in this tiny little downtown to watch the General League. And it's also one of the finest theme songs. In history.

So here's what we're going to do. This is our second trivia question of this hour. We we want you to tell us who saying The theme song to the Dukes of Hazard. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number.

That's 901-260-5926. Hey, got to take a break. We'll be right back. Um Wow, we have four lines going.

Now this one may have been an easy Oh, this was super easy. Rocky hit him with the hard and then the easy. You know, we could.

Well, we're not going to pivot. That would be unkind. You know, we sold it out. We have a bonus question to a question. We could have a bonus question.

We could. But you know what? We'll have some fun with it anyway. Let's go to the phones. We're going to say hello to Natalie in North Carolina.

Well, thank you for that. We we have a great time with it, Natalie, and we love all the folks out there in Eastern North Carolina. God really did a great job when he designed the beautiful coastline there in the Carolinas. Yes.

Yep, she's dead. All right.

Hang tight. Hang tight, Natalie. Thanks for hanging out with us. She didn't ee. They don't yeehaw over there, I guess.

I guess they don't do that in Ohio. What do you do in Ohio? O-H. O-H. I.O.

Yeah.

That's what they do. Remember Caleb Park, who went on to be at. I do. He didn't know what grits were. Yeah, he didn't.

To be fair, not a lot of people know what grits are. That's true. I got a text. Why aren't you talking about terrorism?

Well, okay. All right.

Let me explain this. First of all, it's my show and I just kind of like to go where the flow goes on a Friday. But number two, we've had so much terrorism news this week, we need to take a break. And look, something I'm sure something's going to get blown up somewhere, but we need to take a break right now while we can and just share a couple of good laughs together. I mean, it's not my fault that the Biden administration unleashed thousands of jihadists onto the streets of America, right?

So you got to be able to have a little bit of a laugh. Poor Caleb. I really felt bad for him because we convinced him that grits actually grew like grapes in clusters on trees. And I told him we were in South Carolina. I was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Georgetown, South Carolina, which happens to be the Gritz capital of the world.

And they do a big Gritz festival. And Dylan, they actually invited me to come back and act and be the um What do you call it? The Grand Marshal. Oh, wow. Of the Gritz Parade.

That's a thing. I didn't realize that. It was a great honor. That's pretty cool. A great honor.

Yeah.

And I remember we showed up for church. That since a small town, beautiful little place though, and showed up for church and they had a little breakfast for me, and the ladies of the church had prepare had prepared, I'm not kidding you, at least a dozen dishes based on variations of grits. Did you like them? Did you get to try all of the variations?

Well, I had to. I mean, you have to. When you're the guest speaker, because you don't want to, you know, offend Sister So-and-so. Yeah, you can't just say, I don't like grit. Like, I'm a picky eater.

Like, you can't say that. No, you got to take one for the team. Yeah.

Wow. What was it, Mitt Romney said, I like grit? No, it's a grit. There's not singular, sir. That would be a very small meal.

That was the day he lost the South, by the way. That and when he appealed back the fried chicken skin and discarded it. You want some unsweet tea with that too, sir? How about a b how about a croissant? No biscuit for you.

I tell you. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Let's go to the phone lines, Memphis, Tennessee. Mike, listening to us on KWAM.

Mike, what's on your mind today?

Hey, greetings, Todd. I appreciate you taking the call. Earlier today, I heard on another show, they said that Pete Hag said, well, I heard him, and he said that the United States has never targeted civilians in military. And that's not true. We can go back to Japan where they dropped nuclear bombs on Japanese.

civilians in neighborhoods. In Vietnam, they carpet bombed. In Iraq, they killed over a million Iraqi citizens. And my ancestors, Native Americans, well, they routinely slaughtered unarmed women, children, and old men when the young men were out either in a battle or they were hunting. For him to say that is a complete lie, and I think people that do any minimal history research would agree with that.

Mike, let me ask you. You said you're a Native American ancestry. Is that right? That's correct. Cherky.

Cherokee. Um did the Cherokee ever slaughter their enemies? Enslave them? Nope, not at all. Not at all.

That is not a custom. The word slavery does not even exist in the Cherokee lexicon. And if I'm not mistaken, it was back. In North Georgia, where the Supreme Court ruled in Worcester v. Georgia, that the Cherokees were the sovereign people that owned the land.

And what was it? Uh, Andrew Jackson, who was president, who said, Yeah, uh, Justice Marshall has made his ruling, now let him enforce it. And they went about forcing all of these people off the land and they stole the land.

Well, let me just um let me drop let me drop some history on you. And I know this may be a shock, but the Cherokee Nation was actually involved in both taking captives from other Indian tribes. And also sold those Indians into slavery.

So again, it's not as if we're just randomly going out and bombing people. It's called a war. And the reason why we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to prevent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Americans from losing their lives. I'll say more about this coming up next. Hello.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. Right. I love. Love is American. Time.

Todd Starns.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Friday edition of the Todd Starns Radio Show. It has been a really, really busy week here, and we're so glad that you guys have chosen to hang out with us for the next, for the last final hour of this week's broadcast. By the way, it is also Open Line Friday. Whatever you want to talk about, whatever is on your mind, maybe we did not cover something that you felt like we should have been covering, give us a call today.

You can weigh in here, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. So yesterday, we were honored to have Congressman Scott Franklin joining us on our Newsmax show to weigh in on the terrorist attacks at the Michigan Synagogue and Old Dominion University. Let's dip into some of that conversation. All right, joining us now is Congressman Scott Franklin, a Republican from Florida.

Congressman, good to have you with us. A lot of breaking news here. I want to get your reaction to what we're learning now about this situation at Old Dominion University. The suspect This pretty bad guy we're talking about here.

Well, thank you, Todd, for having me on. Yes, it is. It's been a very disturbing day between this attack in Virginia, the attack in Michigan. You know, the facts will come out very quickly on this situation, but what it appears we have now is another situation of someone with terrorist intentions against the United States. And just it further underscores why we've got to get the government reopened.

We've got to get Homeland Security back up again because there's a lot more that Homeland is doing than just securing the borders and just arresting people who are here illegally. It's also coordinating with law enforcement on anti-terrorism efforts and counterterrorism efforts around the country.

So it's a tough day, but we shouldn't be surprised.

Well, FBI Director Kahesh Patel just a few moments ago made this announcement saying the Old Dominion shooting is now being investigated as an act of terrorism. Here's what he wrote on X, our Joint Terrorism Task Force, fully engaged, embedded with local authorities, and providing all resources necessary in the investigation. Again, Congressman, you look at what happened at Old Dominion. You look at what happened in Michigan, and we're still getting information and intel on that. Look at what happened a couple of days ago in New York City with the ISIS-inspired attackers, and of course, the shooting at the bar in Austin, Texas.

Sir, are you concerned that sleeper cells may in fact be activated on American soil?

Well, we've long been concerned about that. And we do have some, you know, there's intelligence floating around out there that they may have been activated. And I can tell you from years ago when I spent time on the border watching all of the people coming in the country unfettered, my biggest concern beyond just the anger of seeing millions coming across who are declaring themselves, it was the getaways, the people who were seeking across the border, not at the checkpoints. And we know for a fact that there were hundreds on the known terror lists that were included among that group. We've got to track these people down.

So that's just why it's critical that we've got all the government open right now. And this is what's mind-boggling to a lot of people. We all understand the dangers here. And yet, the Democrats, once again, they had a chance today. They failed to restore funding to Homeland Security.

What sort of danger are they putting us in here?

Well, they're definitely playing with fire, and we're seeing it play out in real time. You know, they talk about wanting to make changes to processes. You know, the time to fix the fire code is not when the House is on fire. And I think that's exactly what we're dealing with now. We need to get things reopened.

They need to quit playing games. We've passed this already in the House, and it's time for the Senate to get it done. We just, you know, simply by the math and the way Congress works, we can get this passed with Republican votes only in the House, which we've done. But we need some Democrats to quit grandstanding and come to their senses and do the right thing for the country. And here's one of the ways they're going to be doing that, everybody.

A growing number of congressmen. On Capitol Hill, they are now saying they're going to be voting no on all Senate bills. except for DHS funding until the Senate passes the Save America Act.

So the House Republicans building a coalition that will block any and all Senate legislation. Among those that are going to be doing this, Congressman Brandon Gill out of Texas, he says, I will be voting no on all Senate bills.

Now, I respect what they're doing here. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal of Jon Thune and Mitch McConnell and the others. Is to completely shut down the America first agenda. I mean, that's the ultimate goal here. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.

By the way, Congressman Chip Roy now says we need to have a total freeze on immigration. and we need to pass the PAWS Act, which would outlaw chain migration and diversity visas. I'm wondering why we haven't already done this. I mean, shut down immigration. Just shut it all down until we can figure out who's here.

and what their intents are. All right, let's go to Stuart in Nevada listening to us on K-E-L-Y. Hi, Stuart. What's on your mind today? Hi, uh well, I'm a Uh Marine Corps veteran.

And I am fully disabled and everything like that, and trying to, you know, I finally got my disability and things like that, but. That's not the point. My point is These congresspeople like Jasmine Crockett and Nolmar There they're they're Saying racist things, how do these people, how are they not still, how are they still in office? is what I don't understand. Yeah.

Well they've said racist things. You know, Jasmine Crockett is the most racist person I've ever heard in my life. And it's ridiculous, you know? How are they still in office? That's what I want to know.

How are they still in office? These people that are just breaking the law? Stuart, there's a double standard at play. There's no doubt about that. I think ultimately the voters had their say on Jasmine Crockett when they voted her out during the Democrat primary for U.S.

Senate in Texas.

So, you know, a lot of times there's a price to pay. And in this particular instance, Jasmine Crockett is paying that price. But there is a double standard, and she is able to get away with something that, say, for example, a white conservative lawmaker would not be allowed to say.

Well wh wh what about Omar? I mean, didn't they prove that she she married her brother? To get him legal citizenship? Isn't that a crime in itself to get her kissed out? Yes.

And they tell us that she's under investigation. But, Stuart, again, I've been down this road so many times with Congress. You know, the Republicans launch these investigations and nothing's ever done. It seems to me very simple. Are you married to your brother?

Yes or no? We have the evidence that you are. You're gone. We're denaturalizing you and we're sending you back to Somalia. It's a pretty simple fix in my book.

Uh one more one more question, do you think? that we're going to see more sleeper cells pop up in the next couple of weeks? I do. I sure do, Stuart. And it scares the hell out of me.

Well, it ought to scare the hell out of all of us. And again, I don't and I'm not saying that we ought to live in fear. That's not what we do on this program. But I think we do need to be aware. Am I going to any gatherings with large groups of people?

Yeah, probably not. Probably not. But again, you never know where these folks are going to strike. I mean, did anybody think at Old Dominion that they would be victims of a terrorist attack?

So really, you just you really can't predict these things, you know? Yeah, I know. It just frustrates me, and I just. Don't understand how so many people have no common sense in this country. It just astounds me.

Yeah, I'm with you. And Stuart, we're doing our best on this radio program to really help people and convert folks over to the right way of thinking and trying to deliver a healthy dose of common sense on this program. Stuart, God bless you. And thank you for listening to KELY, great radio station. Our good buddy Wyatt is the operator down there, does a terrific job.

Uh let's go to Kentucky. Pastor John. Pastor John, what's on your mind today? Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. All those people that are voting against our American Protection, they're remember what I told you, they're just a bunch of mule muffin sniffers.

This includes some Republicans. You can have that, okay? All right, Todd, do you realize during the Council of Nicodea, they forgot one book They forgot one day that God created things. On the eighth day after God rested. He created grits and coffee.

You don't realize that, do you?

Now you know. No, I had no idea. Todd, also on your weight loss journey, you know how they say increase your berries? Todd? I am very Very proud of you.

I love you, brother.

Well, thank you. Did you say berries? Increase my berries. No, I'm very, very proud of you. Barry, Barry.

Love you, brother. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor. Yeah.

Oh boy. We really should put a wet bar in. Yeah.

Yeah, we should. Right. So Eat your berries. Eat your berries.

So, look, I have been on this weight loss. What are we at? Two and a half weeks, three weeks now, and PhD weight loss. And I'm actually enjoying some of their delicious cream of chicken soup right now. And it is really good.

It's actually better than Campbell's. I know this is shocking, but it's actually very delicious. PhD weight loss, yeah, down about 13 and a half pounds. Hopefully, this weekend a few more will shed off. But I know a lot of you folks out there are trying to get into shape for summertime, and you've tried a lot of these diets.

Look, I am right there with you all the way. And the problem was, you know, you lose all this weight and then you put it right back on, and then a few more pounds.

So, fortunately, with PhD weight loss, what they do is they sit down and talk with you, and it's all done by phone. And they figure out: okay, here's what you're eating, here's what you're exercising, here's what you do, and here's a plan that's going to be tailored just for you. And folks, it's actually working for me.

So I want you to write down the telephone number: 864-644-1900. I'll say that again: 864-644-1900. Got to use my name, Starnes.

It is the Todd Starns Radio Show coming up. Our good friend Mary Walter joins us. And you'll be able to watch Mary. A lot of people say, What does Mary look like? I've never met Mary.

But well, first of all, you have to watch her on Newsmax. She's on my show once a week. But you'll be able to watch Mary coming up. Just go to our YouTube channel, and you'll be able to watch her in just a matter of moments. Let's go to the phone lines, Anthons, Georgia.

Scott is on the line. Hi, Scott. What's going on? Hey, Todd. I'm calling about the situation here in Georgia with the Republican Party.

I don't know if you've seen it. There's been an article in the Wall Street Journal that was covering it, but Basically, the Republican Party in Georgia is just falling apart. You've had eight years of Brian Kemp, he has destroyed the state. I mean, the property taxes in the state are so high. People are losing their homes.

Home equity firms are moving into the state. Our homeless problem here is absolutely out of control. I mean, it's just the prisons, the gangs are running the prisons. Kemp sits up there with his thumb up his rear end and And he has just destroyed the state. And the Margie Taylor Greene thing.

It just that was the straw that broke the camel's back. And now I mean, there's just so much infighting in the Republican Party in Georgia. I've left the party. I'm through with them. And Lee Jackson is our only hope.

He's running for governor. If he doesn't get elected, you kiss Georgia goodbye forever.

Well, I'm curious because it's my understanding, at least early on in all of this, it was like, you know, MAGA versus Republican establishment or rhino. But now my understanding is there are three. I was reading the Wall Street Journal piece, and it's MAGA versus MAGA versus establishment. Is that a pretty good description of what's going on right now? Everybody's at each other's throats?

Now it's more like The far right, I'm in I'm the far right. It's the far right, it's MIGA, and it's the establishment. And we are just, I mean, we're tearing each other apart in the state.

Well, I've had enough. I'm tired of the illegal aliens. I'm tired of the school districts sucking the blood out of these Georgia counties. I'm tired of big education. I'm sick of the University of Georgia.

running this state, it's just people are fed up with it. And Kemp is nothing but a puppet for the University of Georgia. Actually, I think he's going to get a Kush job when he leaves here, just like.

Sonny Purdue got working up here at this this this fake University of Georgia. But this thing has gotten out of hand in Georgia, and the media is not covering it. Georgia is falling, the state is dying. And people are starting to speak out about it. And it's become probably the most serious thing I've ever seen in Georgia.

So MTG, of course, she sparked a lot of controversy by resigning from Congress. She did not complete her term. Um where did you stand on on MTG? Margie Telly Green. From my understanding, Marjorie Taylor Greene was promised that She was going to be the one to either run for governor of Georgia or she was going to be the one for the U.S.

Senate. But the the Republican Party turned around and stabbed her in the back. They told her that her the poll said she couldn't get elected. And they didn't even try to help her get elected as either senator or governor. And she and basically, they just shot their own troops.

And that's the truth why Margie Telly Green left the Republican Party. And that's not being reported, but that's what happened.

Well, I'm curious. How do you know that's because the Trump administration, the reporting that's out there is the Trump administration said, Marjorie. We've got the polling data. You can't win a statewide race. And she got upset about that.

At least that has been reported. Yeah, well I mean when Trump ran, Paul and Daddy said he couldn't get elected. I mean, it's just but I mean, it's just this thing here, I mean, we we just have enough here. How do how do we make it how do we make it right? What what is there one thing that the Republicans need to do to get everybody on board together?

We have got to get these blind kemps. these John Cornins, these Spoons. We have got to grab them by the scuff and kick their ass out of the party.

So let me ask you this.

So you're you're on the far right, so it's your way or the highway, right? Is that pretty much it? Your way or the highway? Exactly.

Okay.

Exactly.

But then but it's on their way, their way is the same way. I mean, I mean, the the rhinos, it's their way of the highway. Yeah, and MAGA, it's their way of the highway. Exactly.

And there there is no wiggle room here. There is none. It's just that you're just going to watch the end of the Republican Party in Georgia. I mean, it's just coming.

Somebody's going to have to give. I mean, we're tired of giving. It's ter it's Dorino's turn to give, and they're just not going to do it. And and you're going to watch the whole thing just melt to the ground unless Rick Jackson gets in as governor. and saves the state.

If he doesn't get it, you can kiss Georgia goodbye. All right, well, we've got to leave it there, Scott. We're going to have to say goodbye to you. And there you have it, ladies. Scott says he's a far-right guy.

And it's his way or the highway.

So, and the problem is that's what MAGA is saying, and that's what the establishment is saying. Scott did get one thing right, though. They're going to lose. If they can't figure out a way to get along, they're going to lose. Got to take a break.

We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody. It is the Todd Stearns Radio Show Friday Edition Open Line Friday. That means you can call in and talk about whatever is on your mind today. Our telephone number, by the way, is 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. Well, let's welcome into the conversation on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good friend, Newsmax contributor, Mary Walter. Mary, I hope you're having a good Friday.

Well, I get to talk to you.

So, does it get any better than that? Yeah, no, not really. And this is the zenith of your weekend right here, Mary Walter. But our church is having a St. Patrick's Day party tomorrow, and usually that's a real burn-burner.

So that could eclipse this.

So I'm just curious, what religious flavor are you? Are you like a certain denomination? I'm Roman Catholic. Oh, you are? All right.

So, well, the reason I ask that is I'm Southern Baptist, and our St. Patrick's Day parties, yeah, they are not all that good.

Well, ours is everything you would imagine. It's in the gym. of the parish center with a stage at one end and the basketball hoops. And it's BYOB. It used to be before COVID, the bar in town would donate kegs, but post-COVID, it's BYOB.

And they get, you know, like the little Irish dancers from the Catholic school in the next town over. And the priest is there. And of course, it's a 50-50 because everything a Catholic church does is a fundraiser. And it's a lot of fun. It really is.

It's so hokey, but it is so much fun.

So I want to bring in Dylan here because Dylan grew up in the Southern Baptist world as well. These are all foreign concepts at a church party from the Baptist side. Green lemonade. Yeah.

That was our specialty. Green lemonade? Yeah.

Oh, geez. Yeah.

Just a little bit of food coloring and the lemonade.

Well, we had at our church, we had the green sherbert, and they would pour that into like ginger ale. And so we had we had no dancing because apparently Baptists believe that leads to, I don't know, pregnancy or something. I never could figure that out. Are you I get the priest out there dancing. Father Mike is out there boogieing with us.

I think we just don't have rhythm, and that's an excuse. We're not allowed to dance, actually. I don't think we are. What are you guys allowed to do? Hands in pockets.

Is it?

Okay.

We have a great Wednesday night church supper. Yes.

We can do casseroles.

Well, we will be having corned beef and cabbage and all that good stuff. Yeah, it's catered. We may need to convert, Dylan. Can we? We'll head over to Mary's church.

I think so. I like it. Mary everyone is welcome. I know that you and Mr. Dr.

Mary are like big skiers. And Ben Dieter, our very own Ben Dieter, you're not going to believe this. They let him on the slopes of Breckenridge. And Breckenridge is high. Breckenridge is a tough mountain because the altitude's high on that one.

I don't love skiing Breckenridge. My understanding, it's a family trip, and they took him up to the very top of the mountain and just shoved him right. It said, good luck, we'll see you at the bottom.

Well, that's what family's for. Yeah, you got to love it. You got to love it. How did he do? Is he okay?

Well, he did fine there. Then he went running and fell. And his knee looks like it got mauled by a bear, but I think he's going to do good. Yeah.

Poor thing. Yeah.

We should send him like a fruit basket or something. No, just send him some Starbucks gift cards because he loves to spend his money on that.

Well, this is true. Don't all the Gen Zers have no money because they give it to Starbucks. Yeah, $8 coffee. I'm like, brew it at home, sweet thing. Mary, a lot of big news, and we got some fun stories we're going to jump into here in a minute.

But of course, a lot of people are really concerned about these attacks. I mean, we've had four Islamic terrorist attacks. Austin, Texas. We saw what happened in New York City. Um we saw what happened to Michigan and then old old Dominion.

And now they're telling us that we may have thousands of sleeper cells just kind of wandering around the country. Yeah, well, we kind of knew this, right? Like, we all knew this. We all know that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, our border czar, let them in across the border, and we were told, don't worry about it, everything's fine. The border's secure, right?

How many times do we see what's his name? Who's the Border Czar? Anthony Blinken? Tom Holman. Oh, back in the day.

Tom. No, no, no, before, during, under, under Biden. I've got I it was was it blinking? It may have been. I don't know.

It wasn't Tom Holman. It's Tom Holman now. But anyway, he sat there and told Congress under oath that the border was secure.

So we all know that was a big lie. But here's the thing: we have the problem. They created it. Of course, they're going to blame Trump for it, or they're just going to pretend that it's not happening.

So here's what we need to do. Like in Old Dominion, a bunch of Rahtsy cadets. Unalived that guy, which is the word they're using. They unalived him.

So, in response, Old Dominion is saying you can't wear your Ratsa uniforms because now you're a target. Instead of arming them, which I think we should do, why don't we arm them? That seems to be. To me, the responsible response would be: well, these guys clearly are on our side. They're clearly capable.

So why don't we arm them? Same thing with what happened with the synagogue, right? They have armed security in the synagogue, and that's why good guys with guns stopped a bad guy with the car and the guns, right?

So why isn't that our response? Why don't we learn? Why don't we put more armed people who are on our side in schools, in synagogues, and in more public places instead of banning, which is the left's response, well, you know, we really shouldn't have knives or that terrorist would be alive. Why don't we do the sensible thing? Why don't we denaturalize a naturalized citizen when he is arrested and caught giving material support to ISIS?

Why the hell is he still here? Look, these are all great questions. Right? Like, so common sense, if we started with that, we probably would all be a lot safer. You know, on the ROTC thing, we're getting word.

I was talking to somebody, her son is in ROTC at another university, and they were being told not to wear their uniforms at their school as well. And I'm wondering if word went out across the country, ROTC, don't wear your uniforms. That's not the issue. We need to make sure these ROTC cadets are armed when they're in the classroom so they can take out the bad guys. Exactly.

Exactly.

Don't you think their haircut gives them away? Yeah.

Yeah, look, it's a great point. By the way, we understand, and we haven't heard a lot of information. There's not a lot of details about what exactly happened in the classroom. I'm hearing that one of the cadets had a knife, and they pretty much stabbed the guy to death or unalive to him. I love how the FBI person actually framed the description of it all.

Yeah, I did like the careful choice of words. Apparently, they unalived him 22 times.

So, you know, now it's going to be, thank goodness this is in the hands of the feds, because if it was in the hands of local jurisdiction, they would charge that cadet with illegally carrying a weapon on campus. And each one of those cadets would probably be brought up on charges.

So I'm really glad that it's in the Feds' hands, and they will hopefully be invited to the White House instead of being charged. We don't know how many kids were in that class when all that went down, but if I'm, you know, if you're a female student at Old Dominion and you're looking around and you're trying to find your future husband, I bet a lot of girls found their future husbands in that classroom yesterday. Are you kidding? They're little liberal Karens in training, I'm sure. Oh, geez.

You think so? I don't know. That might convert some folks. Where do you think they come from? These liberal indoctrination centers that we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to send our children to, and then we're surprised when they come out as little communists on the other side.

So I my hunch is those guys have a hard time finding dates. You know, again, going back to the broader issue, there will be more of these kinds of attacks, and who knows where it's going to happen? Nobody thought, you know, oh, Old Dominion, they're a big target, or the bar down in Austin, Texas. And the issue here is we've got to be able to live our lives, but you just have to be aware, and you've got to be sure you've got a plan ready to go in the event things go south and somebody hollers Allah Akbar. Yeah, that's going to be our reaction to this.

Instead of identifying these Islamists, not Muslims, Islamists, and deporting their pretty little butts or denaturalizing them and deporting them, especially when they're found to be involved in ISIS and other things, which we already know, we put them in jail for seven years or whatever, and then we let them out and think that they've been reformed. Where do you think these guys become more radicalized? A lot of them get more radicalized in prison.

So we hand out citizenship like it's worth nothing, like it's toilet paper. We just hand it out, right? And then we're surprised when people take advantage of that. you break the law, if you're a naturalized citizen and you're court caught supporting a designated terrorist group, off you go. We'll give you a boat and a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and then we're floating you back across the ocean.

That's it. There should be no question. I like this. Look, I like your ideas. We need to give you some sort of an appointment in the administration, Mary.

I would love it, but I don't think that my many of my ideas would get far. You don't think so? I don't know. Well, they wouldn't get passed through Chucky Schmucky Schumer, so. Mary Walter of the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and Mary, folks.

Pastor John in Kentucky on our YouTube channel says, Howdy, Mary Walter. Great to see you.

So you're getting some. Oh, Pastor John. Hi. You can come to our St. Patrick's Day party if you want.

I can do another. I could add one more, I'm sure. It would be ecumenical. I love this. It's a great idea.

I'm getting one of my friends coming as Jewish. Oh well. That's terrific. I'm telling you, you Catholics know how to party. I'm excited about this.

We do. All right.

Mary, we have you on every week on the Newsmax show with Case. We pair you with Kay Smythe, and we're still trying to come up with an appropriate name for the panel discussion.

Someone had actually mentioned Todd's Hot Conservative Babes. I'm not sure management's going to go with that, but we have a lot of fun. That is one of my favorite segments of the week. Yeah, and everyone should tune in and find out what a dangling Italy is. Which is what we're going to talk about now.

So During So during the Biden administration, you know, they were doing a lot of crazy stuff. But Congressman Brian Mast was questioning a State Department official last week, and it turns out that they had uncovered a Biden-era grant. for a program that would basically queer geographical and topographical maps. And so Congressman Mast actually asked the question: what does it mean when you queer a map? And nobody could sort of figure it out, except that for some reason, the Biden administration felt like that Slovakia was, in fact, a gay country that we think.

And of course, that led to a fun conversation on Newsmax.

So what is a gay country? Is their flag pink? I don't even know what a gay country is. I mean, like, we pretty much know that the Middle Eastern countries are not gay countries. Like, that I got.

But what is a gay country? France. Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to mark that out. No, France is just a soyboy country.

They're just all betas. Oh, geez, that's even worse. That's even more. That is very true because I know some alpha men who alphas who are gay. They're called bears.

Well, according to the State Department, since the age of cartography, they pretty much had good maps, but apparently they were not gay enough. And they don't know if they're using queer in the sense of a verb or as a noun.

So nobody in the current administration seems to know or care. But that did raise the question, and I recommended, I suggested perhaps Italy was because it was dangling. Yeah.

And that brought the entire segment to a screeching halt because I thought Kay and I were going to fall out of our chairs. This is from a man who says geez a loo when he's frustrated.

So for you to talk about a dangling Italy, I just didn't know what to do with myself because there were so many things that I could have said right there. But then I'm like, God, it's Todd. I got to be careful what I say here because he says Jeez Lou, and he's frustrated. And I'm from Jersey.

So, you know. We find that amusing.

So, yeah, so people should really tune into that because it's a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun. Finally, one little story here from New York City: a taco joint in hot, well, they were in hot water. A German tourist sued the restaurant for selling salsa that he alleged was too spicy.

So, Miss the German sued Los Tacos number one for $100,000 in damage. He said that he experienced gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, and emotional distress from eating the spicy salsa. The judge says that's the point of salsa and threw out the case. But okay, so How much of this did he eat? It's like saying this steak is bad.

This steak is it's too well cooked. It's too overcooked. I'm sending it back. But you eat three quarters of it before you decide that it's too overcooked and then you demand a refund. It doesn't work that way.

If you take a bite of something and it's too spicy, you don't take another bite of it, right?

So, one bite, I highly doubt. And if this German was so sensitive and has such a sensitive intestinal fortitude, like he's just not that tough, you probably shouldn't take a second bite. Right? Like, how much did he eat? That's what I want to know.

Yeah.

Dude's a Wiener Schnitzel. Listen, I like a good Wiener Schnitzel. Hey, Mal. All right, Mary Walter. We're going to leave it there.

I feel like we're moving back into Italy territory again. We could do a segment, Fun with Meats with Todd. Oh, gosh. All right, Mary Walter, where can people go? Yeah.

Well, they can join me with Kay Smith on your segment every Tuesday in the 5 o'clock hour, usually around 5:15 until it goes horribly awry and we're yanked off the air. Monday, I will be on Newsmax between 10 a.m. and noon Eastern Time.

So you can catch me there. And then my live cast is on Tuesday evenings at 7:15 p.m. Eastern Time. Just look for it live on Rumble. YouTube and get her, look for Mary Walter Radio, no S.

And that's where I am on socials as well. Mary Walter Radio with No S. All right.

By the way, Kevin chiming in on our YouTube chat. Transylvania's got problems. I don't know if that's a country.

So. There you go. I don't know. All right.

Have a good week, guys. Mary. All right.

We'll see you next week on Newsmax. Merry Walter, everybody. We do need to take a break. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starn Show.

All right, folks. Just got word from. Other parents of ROTC cadets That they're no longer allowed to wear uniforms because the uniforms make them targets for the Islamic terrorists. One lady writing on X that she got a text from her daughter this morning. And again, you know, the point this parent is saying, we let these people into the country, we feed them, we house them, we clothe them, and then they turn around and kill us.

Destroy our culture. And I would encourage you to look at what's happening. Right now. In the UK. Where The entire culture seven hundred years of culture and tradition has just been eradicated.

Hereditary titles have been eliminated by Parliament, and that's and look, you can say what you want to about the UK, but it has been a very traditional country. It's been a country that has been around for centuries, and one of the reasons why is because they have embraced their traditions, their culture. And it's all going away. As a matter of fact, Winston Churchill's face is about to be removed from currency. They're in the UK.

As a matter of fact, they're going to replace Winston Churchill with apparently. A beaver. on English banknotes. I mean this is It's appalling. But but anyway, there's been so much There's been so much anger and hostility.

Inside the UK from the Islamists who've been allowed to come in. That they're literally rewriting all of the cultures.

So they're going to be replacing the Bank of England, replacing Winston Churchill, Jane Austen. The painter JMW Turner with photos of wildlife. I mean, really? Come on. We'll talk more about that coming up next week.

Folks, it's been a great week. Thank you for hanging out with us. Hey, don't forget some free resources at ToddSterns.com, our newsletter, our podcast. You can also download our free app for 24 hours of live conservative talk radio. We'll see you tonight on Newsmax.
