New York To Refer to Mothers as “Gestating Parents”

Protein-packed meals in ten minutes? TikTok's got millions of them. Could you whip one up in under eight? Probably. But hey.

It's not a race. Grab the recipes on TikTok and start cooking. What? Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-totin, Bible-clanging, deplorable America. Right.

I love this American And now. Star. All right, I'm so frustrated right now, ladies and gentlemen. Hello, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Great to have you with us, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain.

So look here's we knew this was going to happen So, the primary in California was on Tuesday. They are still counting ballots, and they say now it could be as long as another week. Before all of the official vote totals are in. But what I find very interesting in all of this process is that all of the votes that are still out there, that they are still counting, seem to be only benefiting Democrat candidates. Across the board, and that has President Trump very concerned.

As a matter of fact, last night, President Trump out there saying, Hey, look, Democrats are trying to steal the election in California. And you know what? The president. has a pretty good point here.

So again, this is why Voting integrity. Making sure that every vote is counted and making sure that only American citizens are voting, it is so vitally important.

So, look, we have a very special guest with us to start off the program today, and she is making this a priority, a mission up on Capitol Hill. Our good friend, Senator Marsha Blackburn, introducing legislation to incentivize every state to submit voter rolls to the Department of Homeland Security. Senator Blackburn, good to have you with us today. I'm delighted to join you, and you are exactly right. Everybody needs to exercise election integrity in their states.

And of course, in Tennessee, we're ranked as number one in election integrity. But as we're seeing play out in California, that is not what is happening. And you're so right. The votes that are coming in late, they're only seeming to benefit the Democrat candidates. You know, Senator, to that point in Tennessee, I've been so impressed with how secure our elections are.

You know, I know all of the people at our local, you know, wherever I go to vote on election day, and they all know me. And the last election, I walked up and they said, Hello, Mr. Stearns, how are you doing? I said, Fine, I'm here to vote. They say, We need to see your ID, please.

You know, as silly as that sounds, but it really is important. Everybody should be able to show an ID, and we need to make sure that the people are voting who have a right to vote. That's exactly right. And we want to make certain. Let's repass.

Save America. And Todd. Save America means you show an ID when you vote and then to register to vote you have to be the citizen.

Now my legislation that you mentioned would incentivize the state To check their voter rolls against the saved registry, which is the registry that the Department of Homeland Security takes. And it includes people that are in the country legally and illegal, people that have work permits, people that have visas, people that are permanent residents. But the thing is, they are not entitled to vote. Right now, only twenty six states. will check their voter rolls against the safe list So we're going to incent that.

This is one of the ways we are working to pay pass the Save America Act piece by piece. And if that's what it takes, To get it done, that is what we're going to do. We're determined to get this over the finish line. You know, Senator, again, looking at, and you point this out, that 80% of the American people, more than 80%, they want to eliminate. voter fraud and I got to tell you, you're right.

You're reading the room here because people are very frustrated and they are fed up with the lack of an action up on Capitol Hill.

Well, they are indeed. And I will say this: the Senate was in session 44 out of 52 weeks last year. We took more votes than any Senate. In history, and we passed. And confirmed more of the presidential nominees than any Senate.

has ever done in a president's first year. And this year, we've been here more than the House this year. And we're working away because we're in the personnel as well as the legislative business. And when you have these bills like Save America Act, and unfortunately, right now we do not have. fifty votes in the Senate.

to get that passed on the floor. We continue to work. to get the vote. to pass this. And as I said, since we can get fifty votes, But those of us that are conservatives, the conservatives in the Senate are called the Steering Committee.

And I'm on the executive committee for steering committee. Names you're familiar with, Ted Cruz and Mike Liebrich. Scott is our chairman. Ron Johnson is on their CMT alumnus. And we meet every Monday night.

And we've been trying for three years to get Save America passed. And so now we're at about forty seven votes.

So we're continuing to push. We're also looking at maybe we take one section, then another, then another. and try to pass it and see if we can get the 50 votes so the Vice President can come in and be the final vote. Senator, is it frustrating for the conservatives in the Senate when they see folks like Senator Cassidy, Tillis, and now John Cornyn and others? It seems as though now this is really more about settling scores with the President as opposed to doing what the people of America want the Senate to do.

Well, in eighty three percent of the American public, supports Save America. They see this as just good common sense. That you have to be a citizen to vote. I don't know of any other country that lets people who are not citizens vote in their elections. And most many states require you to show a photo ID.

Not all states, and of course the blue states don't do that. But we are determined that we are going to find a way to get this across the finish line. We have to. It's important to do. And election integrity is so important.

And I think people watching once Taking place out in California, where you've got a Republican that came in number one when the polls had closed. We'll see how. that ends up. And then in the mayor's race, And you've got a Republican that came in at number two.

So we want to be certain these candidates advanced in November, and we want to make certain that the people that are voting in that LA mayor's race, in that governor's race, and indeed in all the races across the country, are actually able to vote. That they are citizens, that they are registered to vote.

So, yes, indeed, we are hanging in here with it, and we are a determined bunch.

Well, look, for me personally, it's exciting to see the Republicans out there. And some of the numbers are just really remarkable. The lieutenant governor, the person right now in the lead, Gloria Romano, who is, or rather Romero, who is actually a Republican, former Democrat, left the party, became a Republican, and she's leading the pack there.

So I think, again, it's too early to say if there's a conservative resurgence in California, but I think that bodes well for what could happen with the Republicans in the midterm elections. What do you think about that? Oh, I do too. When I talk to Tennesseans, which is every single day, they talk a lot about they want to get the price of the pump down. They notice the economy is basically healthy.

A lot of people are talking to us. About they had smaller tax bills or larger refunds This year, because of the working families' tax cuts. A lot of seniors. Have called our office. They are so grateful for the $6,000.

Balmus. Deduction that I achieved for seniors. Basically, that takes the tax off your social. Security. And 68% of the seniors that took that deduction this year, and there were 35 million that did, and Todd, 68% have incomes under $100,000.

So significant there. People are also talking a lot about their hopefulness, what we're doing with fraud and the way we're going after fraud. And indeed, you had A.G. Blanche and Cash Patel, who did a press conference this morning with Dr. Oz.

They have found another massive fraud ring. Um linked primarily through the Somali community in Ohio. And they are defrauding home care networks. And you know, Todd. This really I think what we have to keep in mind is that those showed us where these anomalies were.

And now President Trump's administration, Vice President Vance, with a fraud unit over at At at DOJ. They are going after this. And they are able. to go in here now and dig a little deeper and root this out and bring it forward. These people are going to be prosecuted.

The prosecutions in Minnesota started last week. The prosecutions in California are getting ready to begin. This is something you're going to see happen. That money needs to be returned to the taxpayer. And my legislation, the Fraud Accountability Act, will require.

Ending. Any One. who is in this country legally, illegally. And they may be on a visa work permit, but if they defraud U. S.

citizens or local, state and federal governments, All the way to dollar one of fraud, that will trigger. a denaturalization and deportation hearing. I love it. I mean, it's all very practical, the common sense legislation. Senator, we're going to have to let you go.

I do want to give, again, remind our listeners: you are running to be the next governor of Tennessee. It is, I mean, you're just crushing the competition in the polls. You know, the other two guys are like going at it like cats and dogs over who's the real Tennessean.

Meanwhile, I can't help but notice you're out there boots on the ground talking to Tennesseans.

Well, that's exactly right. We are working hard every single day, and we don't take anything for granted. and working hard to represent Tennesseans in the U.S. Senate and working hard to earn their vote as we go through the governor's race. All right.

Senator Marshall Blackburn, soon to be Governor Marshall Blackburn, but we'll save that for another day. Senator, always good talking to you. Thanks for taking some time with us. Me too. Take care.

Bye-bye. All right. Great lady right there. Great lawmaker. And she is really a force to be reckoned with in the U.S.

Senate. All right. We've got to take a break here, folks. And again, a lot of breaking news to share with you today. A lot of stuff coming out on more fraud.

You heard the senator mentioning that in Ohio. But I'm telling you right now, we have got a big problem on our hands. President Trump really upset over what's happening in California right now. And I'm wondering, ladies and gentlemen, what is the solution? How do we tackle the steel that is underway?

It is a slow-moving steel at the ballot box in California. Our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Again, that's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Hey guys, quick heads up.

This is actually a big one. We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the best-selling solar generators of 2025, is officially being retired. And the reason? They've just released something even better.

It's called the Patriot Power Generator 2200X. And this is their most powerful model yet. It's built for real-life situations, storms, outages, emergencies, when you need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something. Pretty crazy right now.

You can get $500 off the generator, plus, they're including two free solar panels, so you can double your charging power right out of the box. They're also throwing in a heavy-duty roll-in-go-kart, an extended three-year warranty. And if you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an additional $200. And here's the part that really stands out. Because they offer a payment plan, you can get started today for just $299 and it ships as soon as tomorrow.

But this is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served, and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with how unpredictable power outages have been lately.

So, if you've ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and don't wait until the lights go out. Go to starnsprepper.com right now to take advantage of this limited time offer. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, and such an honor to have you with us.

And again, the news coming out yesterday: Tonkers Magazine, naming us one of the top Talk Radio Programs in America on their list of the 100, heavy hundred as they call them. Talkers in America, we're number 21. And we certainly thank all of our great listeners, you guys, for making that happen, and also all of our great radio affiliates across the nation.

So, look, there is a very weird story happening and unfolding in New York State. I want to share this with you. This is a headline for the New York Post. Democrats in Albany, the state capitol, are replacing. The words mother and father in official Court and government documents.

Now, this has already gone through the legislature, and it's awaiting signature by Governor Kathy Hochul, who is a Democrat. The bill erases terms like mother and father from, for example, child custody and parental law, and instead they're going with new gender neutral writing. The word mother would be replaced with gestating parent. and the word father would become non gestating parent. Or just simply parent.

in all family court documents, including in domestic and education law. And again, the Democrats have already passed this. They're just waiting for Governor Kathy Hochul, and she's a whack job.

So they're just waiting for her to sign this into legislation.

Now, paternity proceedings to determine a child's biological father would become parentage cases.

So they're even doing away with the term parent. The bill was rammed through the Assembly in March and in the Senate this week. A putative father, also known as a deadbeat dad, would now be called an alleged parent. In official court documents. The bill was sponsored by far leftist lawmakers from the Bronx and Westchester, New York.

Assemblywoman Amy Polland. By the way, do we have to call her a gestating assembly person? Is that what do we do there? And Senator Luis Seplavita from the Bronx, both Democrats. No, that's.

Sort of figured that out already. One state conservative lawmaker, Gerald Kasser, who previously served in the Senate, now runs the Conservative Party, says it's woke culture. Run a buck. It's one upmanship. Or one gestation person ship.

I don't know. It's going to be very, it's really wordy. It's an example of how to Of how out of tune the New York legislature is, it's an unnecessary and wasteful use of time. He said the gender-neutral bill is likely to lead to a stampede of others and called state lawmakers backwards. By the way, they're almost two months late in passing a state budget in New York.

And the reason why is they're trying to figure out what a woman is. This is insane. But, ladies and gentlemen, again, this is all a part of an effort, and it's really a nefarious effort to. to really deconstruct the nuclear family. We had Governor Mike Broad from Indiana on the Newsmax show this week, and the governor declaring the month of June not Pride Month, but Nuclear Family Month.

So that's what this is. They want to strip down language like mom and dad, mother and father. into gestating and non-gestating parents. Gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is also weighing in. He's running on the Republican side of the aisle.

He says Governor Kathy Hochul has continued her declaration of war on New York families by canceling the loving terms of mom and dad and replacing them with gestating and non-gestating parents. No, Della, I don't know. No, I don't think they can say that. No, I they. They can't say appendage and non-appendage parents.

They can't do that. That's. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha. Republicans who voted against the Democratic sponsor bill called it outrageous.

Senator Patricia Fitzpatrick of Nassau, New York, Says, this is not what families are asking for. I am a mother. and proud to be called a mother. But I got to tell you, they got some mothers in the state house, and they're not mothers, if you know what I mean. They're mothers.

I hope you follow that. Anyway, 901-260-5926. What say you, all you moms out there, would you rather be called gestating parents? 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Happy to have you with us today.

So let's talk about California for just a minute here, and it's really insane. Just truly insane when you Look at what's happening. And this is really a slow moving Steel. That's what's going on here. And you're looking at You're looking at Democrats.

And they, right now, the Democrats control everything in California, so they're the ones controlling the vote, and they know exactly how many votes they now need to overcome the Republicans and not just the Los Angeles mayor's race, but now you've got the gubernatorial race, you've got all of these congressional races. We told you yesterday, as the numbers stood yesterday, that the Republicans were actually holding their own in these newly redistricted areas of California. Democrats had expected to destroy five Republican congressional seats, and at least one of them, right now, at least one of them has been saved. But again, that all may change as a result of the ballots. We still have about, what, they've got about 40% of the vote that still has to be counted in California.

And of course, all of their rules Were changed when it comes to voting and when it comes to the mail-in ballots. All of that changed during the COVID years.

So this is something relatively new. But what it will do, it gives Democrats a rock-solid guarantee that they will always win their elections. It is nothing more. Than stealing. And President Trump is absolutely, absolutely right.

To call it out.

So the question now is, how do you fix it?

Well, you fix it by passing the Save America Act. But the Senate's not going to do that. They're not going to you heard Marshall Blackburn, they don't even have the numbers. I mean, that's just insane.

So now Steve Bannon is on the war path. And just a little while ago, Been and saying, hey, we're not going to win here. Take a listen. Bottom line to the U.S. Senate, to all the donors, to Stephen Law and all those phony funds that put in the $150 million you burned in Texas trying to destroy the grassroots in Ken Paxson.

This is just a taste of what's in store. You're going to lose the Senate. We're telling everybody to put their freaking pencils down in North Carolina, in Maine, in Ohio, all of it, Michigan. You want to play hardball? We'll say, hey, look, it's just as bad having Democrats in charge.

So let's just have Democrats in charge. Let's stop with the phony pretensions that you are MAGA. You're only there because of Donald John Trump. He put you there.

Okay. If you want to challenge him now, fine. MAGO sit there and go, screw you. We don't care if we lose Georgia, North Carolina, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Alaska. Screw you.

Bannon's fired up here. And look, we're looking at these same numbers as well. Is it time to pull the fire alarm here? I mean, we've still got months before the election. But the fact of the matter is, I think, and I want to play some more, we've got some more Bannon audio here.

And he flushes all of this out. Take a listen. Wrap this up because now it has to be a showdown. Here's the reason. we're going to lose the Senate in the fall anyway.

No. A grassroots leader, none of the grassroots phalanx, the hoplites. Nobody's excited about going door-to-door and doing voter engagement, as Caroline knows more than anybody. The old way of putting a couple hundred million dollars in and buying T V ads. on Fox and CNN doesn't work anymore.

That's old school. does not work. There's been a new day and the Senate's got to understand that or we're going to lose the Senate. There's no enthusiasm. for going door to door, having voter engagements, canvassing.

To actually lead to victory. Those people are out there and it can be done. Texas shows you that. Virginia shows you that. Short.

All right, there you go. We have much better pupper music than Bannon does.

So, look, Bannon's not wrong about any of this. As a matter of fact, there's a new Fox poll out. North Carolina, it's going to be a long slog for Republicans there. And Roy Cooper, former popular Democrat governor, seems to be gaining ground.

Well, it's not that he's gaining ground. It's just that the Republicans are just not really enthusiastic about what they've got to work with out there. Look, the same thing is happening in Georgia. Matt Towry was on Hannity this week, and he's saying, Look, He's really concerned about all of you folks in Georgia. And the turnout where the Democrats really turned out in big numbers in the primary.

Matt Towry says that is a problem.

So, as it now stands, and then you've got what we've got the runoff coming up very soon. Derek Dooley, that's getting ugly. But again, will that be a motivating factor for Republicans to get out and vote? It's a fair question to ask. This is the headline from Yahoo: MAGA Polster emits big problem for Trump on Fox News.

Matt Towery, who by the way, one of the best pollsters out there, we've had Matt on the show quite a bit and we're working to get him back on the show to talk about this. He says he is concerned about declining support for the Republican Party ahead of the midterms. Towery is a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives and has been one of the President's biggest supporters. His polling firm was among the few that correctly forecast Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, and four years later, he predicted a win for Trump again, arguing that many pollsters were overlooking the average guy on the street. But it seems that Towery is now losing faith in Trump's ability to win over voters.

In the interview on Fox News, Sean Hannity asked Towery which states he believed could offer the GOP its best pickup opportunities. Towery said too early to say, but he said it is very concerning and that is the Republican turnout. He went on to cite data from May's primary election in Georgia. which Trump took from the Democrats by just two points. Early voting data shows Democrats turned out 150,000 more early voters than Republicans.

That is a shift from the previous midterm cycle when Republicans held an advantage in early voting turnout. Towery says this is not a good sign.

So there you go. That is Georgia. Also, Iowa is there's scuttlebutt in Iowa that Democrats are gaining ground there. And the Democrats could, in fact, and we talked to Jeff Stein about this yesterday from KXEL in Waterloo: is that in Iowa, the Democrats there are really energized and they feel like they can pick off a Senate seat there.

Now, you say, Tom, what about Maine with the Nazi guy and the pervert?

Well, he's probably going to have to drop out. But Janet Mills. Is still technically in the race. She has suspended her campaign. She hasn't ended her campaign.

And who I mean, there could be a chance here for Democrats to mobilize around Janet Mills and try to stage some sort of a big comeback.

So when you look at places like Georgia, And North Carolina, and Maine, and Ohio, and Iowa. Steve Bannon is not wrong. There is a concern. That the Democrats could, in fact, retake the Senate.

Now, hear me on this. It's also a possibility in the House of Representatives.

So I think the challenge here is twofold. Number one, it's the war that will not end. And now the administration is to the point of having to define what a ceasefire is. And I helped the administration out yesterday. I wrote the definition.

If the other side is firing missiles at you, it is not a ceasefire. And yet, they still can't come up with a good working definition of ceasefire. The war is going to go on. It's a big mess. And they're not even calling it a war now.

That's the other issue, is they're not calling it a war. They're calling it what a skirmish. A conflict? When you start playing word games, folks, you're losing the argument. And maybe the argument's already been lost.

But I think one of the challenges is going to be trying to get the base of the party just mobilized and energized. Because in all honesty, Congress really hasn't done all that much. to say they deserve another shot at this. The only reason we have to let the Republicans, we've got to get them in there, is to stop them from impeaching President Trump. And that will happen.

And it will be ugly. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. We've got to take a break. We're going to your calls, by the way, this segment of the program brought to you by My Faith Assistant, a Bible-based tool that is redeeming AI and it's going viral.

And, folks, the best part about it all is free of charge. That's right. MyfaithAssistant.com is the website. That's myfaithassistant.com, brought to you by our good friend, Dr. Michael Youssef.

Dr. Youssef has spent more than 50 years teaching the Bible. He is a trusted pastor and scholar and cultural anthropologist. And My Faith Assistant is a Bible-anchored, theologically vetted tool built on scripture and seminary-level resources. I did this the other day.

I went to MyFaith Assistant. What does the Bible say about aliens, extraterrestrials? And I got an answer, and it was all Bible-based.

So I want you to go and check it out: myfaithAssistant.com. They don't ask for your email. You don't have to sign up for anything. It's just, it's a wonderful, useful tool. I use it every single day, and you're going to use it as well.

MyfaithAssistant.com. We'll be right back.

Well, no, look, I don't believe the issue is Donald Trump at all. Donald Trump is delivering on all of his campaign promises. I think the issue here is strictly the Congress. And we are going, even if the Republicans do, win in the fall. I have no doubt that they are going to be a thorn in the president's side, and especially in the last half of his final term in the White House.

Because they know that that they're going to still be around. And the president's not. And that's how they're that. I'm telling you. That's how that's going to play out.

I want to play some audio here, going back to the story out of New York State. Where the governor is set to outlaw the terms mother and father, Cut 35. Kathy Hochul signs this bill sitting on her desk. A new law will make it illegal to call them mother and father. Nate Foy has the details on this.

Nate? Hey, Jackie.

So, yeah, New York Democrats argue the words mother and father are outdated and need to be replaced with more inclusive terms under state law. All that's needed now is Governor Kathy Hochul's signature.

So if Hochul approves, in New York's family court and in domestic and education law, a mother would be labeled as a gestating parent, a father as a non-gestating parent, and paternity proceedings to determine the child's father would be called parentage proceedings. The bill passed the state senate this week and the state assembly back in March. Governor Hochul proudly calls herself New York's first mom governor. It's unclear if she'll support this change, though. I'm not familiar with what was introduced late last night, so I'll take a look at it.

I have until the end of the year to review them and make a decision.

So I won't be commenting on pending legislation. New York would join other states like Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, and Colorado to change the definition and wording of parents in their state laws. Democrats argue the bill is necessary to accommodate surrogacy cases and same-sex couples.

Now, Governor Hochl's up for re-election this year. Her main challenger, Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, tells Fox this morning, this bill is a continuation of war declared on families by Democrats. All right, that, ladies and gentlemen, is a war on the family that's currently underway in New York State. By the way, reading Rainbow, we have another story out of PBS. You know, first of all, they were going after what, Sesame Street, because Sesame Street has gone gay.

And now, Reading Rainbow has gone gay.

Now, back when I was a kid, this is how old Reading Rainbow is. When I was a kid, Reading Rainbow was heterosexual. And I mean, it was still back in that time period, I think the rainbow was all about what the rainbow was about, God's promise to the world after the big flood. Or maybe, I don't know, if you enjoyed the cereals, what is it? The.

Tricks. They're magically delicious. Lucky charms. Thank you. Lucky charms, Dylan.

Thank you. You're close. I was. One of them is the rabbit, and the other is the leprechaun or something. Yeah.

It's in the bald heart. And what's the other one? The parrot? No, the toucan. Yeah, the toucan.

Fruity pebbles. No, fruit loops. whatever. Yeah, fruit loop. I don't eat cereal.

Fruity Pebbles is like the um that was uh the Flintstones. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was over in the West Hollywood section of uh bedrock.

Exactly. That's where those fruity bubbles are.

So now, Reading Rainbow again was heterosexual back when I was a kid.

Now they are introducing a series of books to celebrate Pride Month. And these are all for small children. One is two black dudes, and they got a black baby called It's Pride Baby. Another has some sort of a child on the front. It's not he or she, I'm me.

For ages three to six. Here's another one. Family is family. And it's got, I don't know, this is there's something, it's based on a farm. And it's got two.

I think those are roosters.

So the roosters had a chick together, if I'm reading the story correct, it's called Family is Family. And it's got two. Two roosters. and a baby check. Ages three through seven.

This is what they want your kids to read. Oh, here we go. Another one is called Marley's Pride, which is a black-themed LGBT book for ages three through nine. Another is called Circle of Love. Which has um A bunch of women.

So, this is lesbian-centric material for children, girls ages four through eight called Circle of Love. Another one is, looks like a little gay boy. It says Leo and the pink marker. Ages four through eight, are you picking up here on what's going on? Oh, there's more.

Two Lebanese women. Oh, one's got the tats. She's got the tat sleeve on the. Who will you be? And the little baby is in a rainbow-colored onesie.

This is for children ages four through eight. Another has What looks to me an Indian lesbian version of Pocahontas. Called My Culture, My Gender, Me. for ages five through eight.

So there you go, ladies and gentlemen. The Reading Rainbow on PBS introducing children's books to celebrate Pride Month. I think that's a good idea. They're literally grooming your children. And they're using T V to do it.

It's insane. Got to pay attention, moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. By the way, ladies and gentlemen, during the break coming up, I want to encourage you to go to Amazon or Barnes Noble and pre-order a copy of my brand new book.

It's called The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. We are working on a TV special. I think we're heading out to California in a couple of weeks, and we're going to be taping a great TV special based on the book. And it is a call to arms for all freedom-loving Americans. We've got a country to save, and when Donald Trump leaves office, we're still going to have a lot of work to do.

So that's why I wrote The Golden Age. It's a fun read, it's a pretty funny read, actually. We did an interview yesterday with Newsmax magazine, and they're going to be featuring the book in their upcoming, I believe, July or August edition of the magazine. It's going to be a lot of fun. And I want you to get a copy.

Get one also if you've got a teenager or a kid in college, get them a copy of it as well. The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. Available at Barnes Noble, Books a Million, Walmart, Target. Amazon Warehouse. All right, hang tight, everybody.

Hour two coming up. Live From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starn. Right, I know. Love is American.

Dylan, please tell me I did not hear what I thought I just heard. Yeah, you did. Did I just hear Ian the intern mocking our voice guy? Is. He was doing the exact voice line of the intro, yeah.

What? No. Very loudly. Yeah, no, I could hear it all the way in the studio. I'm like, what happened to our voice guy?

It sounds like he, I don't know, he's got a problem. Yeah, I don't know. I've got to be in the intern lately. He's just going to be a little bit more. Yeah, we've got to set down some rules for the intern.

I think so. I mean, this is just out of control, man. No mocking the voice guy. Don't mock the voice. That's the voice of God.

Okay. I wouldn't go that far.

Well, that's what we call it in the business: the voice of God. You don't ever see him, you just hear him. He's omnipotent. Yeah. Yes, verily, verily.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to hour two of the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have you with us today. Write down our telephone number. You will need this if you plan on calling in.

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. All right, I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. I'm excited to welcome back our good buddy Ryan Leonard. Former president of the New York University Republicans, College Republicans, and now what?

Newly graduated, Ryan.

So, congratulations to you. Yes, thank you so much.

So so what was that experience like for you, doing the whole NYU? I know you're a conservative guy. I'm just wondering what what possessed you to go to NYU as a conservative? Yeah. I've alluded to this before, but I've always strongly believed in the fact that We need to be infiltrating these Liberal-ridden places.

We need to be fighting back. We can't back away from places like this, the cities. the big schools. I think it's important to represent and to you know not back down from these places that are ran by liberals. I think it's interesting.

We were talking about this yesterday, just general attitudes about. About college. We went through a period of time going back to the Obama administration. And Barack Obama, I think, did a great disservice to the country, Ryan. Back during those days, he told America's young people: hey, look, if you don't go to college, you're not going to be able to claim your American dream.

You're not going to be able to be a success in life. And so a lot of young people who were inspired or influenced by Barack Obama ended up going out there and getting college degrees that turned out to be worthless. And many of them are now, you know, even now in debt and having to pay for those kinds of mistakes. And I'm wondering if you are seeing that today, you know, as young people are beginning to wonder, hey, do I really need a college degree to be a success? Yeah, I'm definitely seeing that.

And I'm seeing all these people who are getting college degrees and who are getting out of college and having nothing to do with them. didn't really have much of a plan, or they kind of just assumed that they would come out of college and their life would begin, everything would be okay, and then they come out of college and. They don't have anything lined up. Nothing's working. No one's hiring them.

They're not getting the salary they want. A lot of people are coming out of college with really nothing to show for all these years and hundreds of thousands of dollars often they spent. That's just insane. And I know you went to NYU. I have to imagine that was not exactly a cheap date.

True, not cheap at all. Was it worth it? I mean, when you look at you look back at your college experience. Mm-hmm. I'm glad that I did it.

Um But Yeah, I mean the return on investment has drastically declined for Going to any school, especially one of these schools like NYU, that's like $70,000 plus a year. Um I think it's not worth how much it costs. I'm glad that I did it. I'm glad that I went through with it and finished college and everything, but. It's really hard to justify this price.

Ryan Letter joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. And Ryan, we've been looking at a lot of polling data, especially among the young men in Generation Z. I would say the younger end of Gen Z. And Gallup has some new information out showing that when you compare young men and young women, young men are overwhelmingly more interested in things like religion, which really I think is going to surprise a lot of people because that is not the way it's been. And I'm curious your take on that.

Yeah, I think There's a lot of explanations for this. Part of this is just the gender divide and political attitudes as well. Um, for man it's become more normalized and more cool to be conservative for women. It's become more cool to be progressive. Um there's a lot of things that go into this.

I think one of the primary things is that Men are just looking for more purpose. I think that men are. struggling more is trying to find something that it can resonate with. I think that a lot of the changes in the culture um that are a result of this more godless secular area Benefit women more than they do men. For example, the new dating scene, the less strictly socially enforced monogamy.

Uh A lot of young men are just really struggling to find love, find someone they they can Get into a relationship.

Well, whereas women have more options than ever and are really being more successful in this kind of dating scene.

So that's just one example of how this new modern age is kind of benefiting women more than it does men and how Men are really N not not doing as well, you know, with this current state of affairs. Ryan, I'm curious on the dating scene, especially among young Gen Zers, are guys being more? Particular, especially when it comes to conservative guys, are they being more particular with the kinds of girls they want to go out with? I think you see this more with women, women being more particular, women having standards. This is something we've talked about before, but a lot of the guys will just be simps and will put up with anything and will try to appease women and change their beliefs and hide their beliefs.

I think that a lot of guys really struggle to have standards for themselves, whereas women will say, you know, I won't date a guy if he's a Trump supporter or this and that. A lot of guys will just kind of go for anything and try to appease women in any way possible. Dylan, why are you laughing right now? Hold on, hold on, Ryan. Dylan, what's going on here?

I haven't heard the word simp in a minute.

So I'm glad that Ryan said that. No, no, that's true. Ryan, yesterday, hold on, we've got to call Ryan out here. Yesterday on national TV, Ryan said he dropped the simp and he says, you may not know what that is. And I'm like, oh, I know what it is.

It is a younger time. How dare you question the host of the show, Ryan Leonard? True, you are tapped in with the Gen Z cools. I didn't, you know, I didn't understand your ball knowledge, but I apologize.

Okay, I'm not sure what that is. Dylan, is that good? Yeah, if you have ball knowledge, good, good. I'm still trying to figure it all out. You know, I don't want to be.

Here's the thing, guys. I never want to be one of those guys that's like dropping the lingo and the language because that would make you look uncool, I think.

So if you're trying too hard. True. I mean, if you don't know any of the lingo, I mean, that's fine. I mean, you are in a separate category. You have your own lingo.

We have ours. You don't have to always understand it. Exactly. I don't know how many Gen Zers don't understand what G Saloo means. I mean, it's really shocking, to be perfectly honest.

They should be educated. Ryan Leonard joining us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker. You know, Ryan, maybe this is what we need to do. Like, we bring you on once a week, and you can give us definitions of words because, you know, we've got a pretty well-rounded audience, but some of the more seasoned listeners may not know what simp or dropping the tea means. True, yeah, that can be my job.

Dylan, why are you laughing?

Now you sound like you're trying way too hard. See, that's it's a fine line. It's a fine line. There is a line, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Ryan, to this point, there's an interesting story in the New York Post. Teenage boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real life relationships. with apparently disastrous consequences.

Now it seems to me If your dating life is so bad that even the AI girlfriend breaks up with you, I think you've got serious problems. But apparently, this has been going on. They surveyed 1,000 boys ages 12 to 16, and they found that 85% of them have actually spoken to a chat bot. Is this you hear of anything like this happening there at the college? Yeah.

I actually have heard of this. I was doing, as you know, I've done a lot of the street interview stuff. And one day, one of the topics I was talking about was AI girlfriends. It was one of those things, it's just so ridiculous. I was expecting.

Everyone would be like no, that's crazy. That's so dystopian, whatever. But there was a surprisingly large number of people who said, yeah, like I've talked to an AI girl to have some company, friendship, companionship. It is like very dystopian and crazy, but it's something that you hear from these these kids.

So one of the things people may not be aware, not only are you doing the Newsmax segments, but you are an incredibly popular man on the street guy.

So you go out and do these man on the street interviews. How did you get started? I mean, just like you have a massive audience, how did you get started in that? And how do you come up with the questions?

So I got started a long time ago. I've always been making Content in some form, and then when I moved to New York, I started doing it here, interviewing people about random stuff, and then. Kinda got picked up and noticed by some other people who were doing street interview stuff, so. Started working together, putting out content together. And as for how do I come with with questions?

I just try to think of like stuff that will get people get people going stuff that's polarizing stuff that The kind of questions that you don't usually ask in public about politics, religion. These things that are kind of taboo, kind of bring those to the forefront and having a conversation. Do you it do you find it the the people that you go up and talk to, are they are they pretty open about about you know doing the the Q and A? It really depends. If someone is like very liberal and fits in with all the beliefs you're supposed to have in New York, they're pretty open.

Whereas When they're more on the conservative side, they're often. very very hesitant and they might say, oh, we can't post this, we need to Redo this. I need to say this differently.

Someone's on the conservative side, they're often like very hesitant. This is cool. Our team is going to be looking. When we come back from a break, we're going to play one of your great QA's Man on the Street segments.

Now I do have a question and I'm just I'm going to regret asking this question guys.

So being a simp, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Being a simp is Very bad thing. This is like type of guy who Just really has no boundaries, no backbone. And we'll do anything just for, you know, a moment of attention with women. This is good to know.

All right. So, being a simp is bad.

So, all right. Ryan Leonard, great intel. And we want to get you back and talk politics, especially when it comes to the Iran war. I know that is a big topic.

So, we're going to get you back on very soon. First of all, congratulations. Tell everybody what your degree is in. Yeah, just got a degree in philosophy from NYU. All right.

Good stuff, man.

So, well, well done. And Ryan, we look forward to getting you back on very soon. Thanks a lot, now. Cool. Thank you very much.

All right. There you go, Ryan Leonard. The guy is like super brilliant. Theology does theology studies, political science, and he does these man on the street things that, quite frankly, Jesse Waters used to do. But I really enjoy the way Ryan Leonard approaches it.

It's just really entertaining and it's a lot of fun. We're going to try to hunt down one of those when we come back. 901-260-5926. Is your son dating an Online bot. I'm not sure who would actually admit to that, Dylan, to be perfectly honest with you.

Oh no, not not at all. No. But seriously, you know, if your AI girlfriend is breaking up with you, that's problematic.

Now you just update the software and you're all good. Hit the reset button. Or you got to install the Norton virus protection. Oh, yeah. You know, you can't be too careful these days.

All right, we'll be right back, everybody. All right, Dylan, we're getting. We're getting some messages here. This is from Noah down at. our Pascagoula affiliate.

Todd Starnes is not a simp. He has so many women that approach him he's a player. Is that a playa? You're kind of the opposite, then. It sounds like.

I guess. I don't know. You don't run to women, they run to you.

Well, you know, I want to explain this. And because to women of a certain age, I am like the Justin Bieber of that demographic. Yeah, I've seen this in person. You have seen it in person, right? And I think the reason why is I've got a pretty decent job, earning potential.

And got good health insurance, and I have all of my teeth. Yeah, and you attract a certain um type of woman that cooks very well. like home style cooking to the to a fault. This is true. Like you were given food.

Like anywhere that you're out in public and someone sees you, they'll give you food. I was actually at a book signing years ago. Where were we? Oh, this was the Barnes and Noble in Franklin, Tennessee. How do I remember this?

This was like 2000, I don't know, seven or eight. And we were doing, I'll never forget this. The book signing table was at the back of the store, but you could see I had a direct vantage point to the entrance, right?

So when you walk in, it's like a long, long aisle, and then here I am with all the books. And we saw this lady come in, and she was carrying these packages. And I didn't think much of it until she kept coming and coming. And then I realized it said cracker barrel. And this woman was one of my fans, and she loved reading my books.

And she knew that she said, you need a good home-cooked Southern meal. And I'm like, w well, it's her cracker barrel. It's Well, back then, Cracker Barrel was still pretty good. You know, it was. It was.

So you could put that in the homestyle category.

So we thanked her. I had my book agent there. We actually, it was really funny. We had my agent there, and somebody else from the publishing house was there. And they wanted to take the bag from the woman, and she would not let them.

And she jerked it back. She says, No. I'm going to serve him. I'm not kidding. It was a huge table, and we had the books and everything.

She then commences to lay out the entire cracker barrel meal and, like, expand. I mean, people were trying to get their books signed. That's really funny. She was determined. She was on a mission.

She was determined. I think there was meatloaf. Oh my gosh. Mashed potatoes. Gonna need a bigger table.

Had a little thing of banana pudding or whatever. It's some dessert. Even had some iced tea. There you go. All for free.

Wow. All for, yeah, exactly. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

But we've I actually have had a couple of stalkers, though. And they're all very nice people, you know, everything. But, you know, you don't want to have somebody go Kathy Bates on you. This is true. Right.

So I treasure my knees. I don't think so. I think stalkers like that's the bad kind. A fan. Is the good kind.

If they follow you around and they're nice, the fan. No, well, I think you're exactly right. Or a good stalker. Or a good stalker, yeah. I had a I the most unusual stalker, the most unusual stalker I had.

She was a lady and she was a professional clown. Oh. And she had a lazy eye. I didn't know that you can go pro in that. Apparently, you can.

There is a market for just about everything. And you're still scared of clowns.

So I am terrified of clowns. I am. All right. We're going to talk to Beth, who's we got to take a break, but we've got Beth listening to us on WSJS. Conservative Ladies of America.

We're going to talk about dating. What are you looking for in your conservative guy? 901-260-5926. That's our number. This is the Todd Stern Show.

All right, this segment of the program brought to you by our friends at Calatron. And by the way, Elizabeth from Calatron came to visit us today, Dylan. She is off to the Big Talk Talkers Magazine convention, which is up in New York City. I'm supposed to be there, but the doctor said, Yeah, you can't go yet. You got to give it another week or so.

But anyway, Elizabeth from Calatron. And one of the things that I've been doing since the big heart hiccup is losing weight and being pretty intentional about it. And Calatron has been a huge part of that. And I want to encourage you to go and check it out. They've got a Summer Starts in May sale.

It's their biggest sale of the year. Buy three, get three free. That's a pretty good deal. Deal. It's kind of like paying half price.

I want you to go to toploss.com. That's T-O-P-L-O-S-S.com, toploss.com, or call 800-325-4366. I'll repeat that number again: 800-325-4366. Let me say something here: there's no stimulants, none of that stuff, no drugs, none of that. And my cardiologist, when I told him what I was doing, he said, Great, that's good to hear.

Keep it up. And I take one pill every single night, and it's really helping on the big weight loss campaign. All right, let's go to the phones here: 901-260-5926. Say hello to Beth in Greensville, North Carolina, WSJS. Hi, Beth.

What's on your mind? Hey, Todd, that's Greensboro, North Carolina. Um But I'm doing well today. How are you? You know, I'm doing great, Beth.

Thank you for asking. What's on your mind? Well, I heard Ryan talking about his I guess he was Gen Z talking about dating. I'm a Gen Xer like you. And it's funny because if men find out that I'm a Trump supporter, which I am.

They're they won't date me. They're like, Nope, I don't want to have anything to do with you. kind of thing. And then if I date a guy, yeah, if I meet a guy that is n not a Trump supporter. all he does is complain about Trump.

So I go, Oh, and I can't say anything back 'cause all you do is argue and then it's a nightmare. Is that like part of a thing in the dating culture now? Like, normally, you know, you want to get to know somebody. I would never in a million years, I know, at least back in the 1980s, we would not ask people about their politics or anything. I don't remember that being a part of the equation.

No, it wasn't back then. It wasn't. My dad, when I was First, he could vote at 18 years old. He said, Always vote Republican. And I've always honored him.

May he rest. Since then. And so I vote Republican. I've always stuck Republican. And dating.

Yeah, it's a big deal. It's like if you say you're a Trump supporter, they don't they're like, Nope.

So it's just bizarre. That is strange. You know, I get where Ryan is coming from. And again, I think it's really tough for. For especially younger, I say Generation Z guys.

So these are guys that are 18 to what, 24, 25. When you look at how radicalized a lot of these girls have become, I mean, there has been a concerted effort to radicalize a generation of young girls. And a lot of guys are saying, you know what, we don't want any part of that. And now some of the guys are out there saying that. That religion and faith and tradition are important things to them.

And according to the surveys, a lot of young girls, they're just not interested in that. Yeah, I mean uh religion is important to me. I don't know where to meet a man that is religious.

Well, you know, I like to go to church. Have you tried church? Yeah, that's. Yeah, chur yeah, I should try church. But I go to church with my mom and there's noone there that You know, I just go with her and Um but Anyway, you know, and politics is important to me.

I mean, it's divided my family, even. Like, we can't even talk. Like, my mom is. Same beliefs as I, as far as politics, and another sister of mine, but the other family, they're just. They're not.

And it divides people. It divides this country. And it shouldn't be like that. We should support our political. system You know, we're Americans.

So it's just frustrating. Beth, we're going to put out the question here to the audience.

So maybe they might be able to offer some suggestions on where to find those good Christian conservative guys or gals. Yeah. You know, where do you reckon?

So we've got to help Beth here, ladies and gentlemen.

So we're going to get this worked out, Beth. And we have a lot of listeners in the WSJS listening area. That's a big signal.

So who knows? You're all the way in Memphis.

So, I mean, that wouldn't work. No, I can't. A long distance. You know, the long distance things never work.

So it's all right, Beth. Thank you for calling in. And we're going to find, we're going to, our audience is going to help you, Beth. And wait, wait a second. What just happened there, Dylan?

I think she just shot her shot with you almost. Jesus. Yeah. It is long distance. That is hard.

Yeah, they don't work. Yeah. I know that much.

So these times and calls and movies and yeah. But does I mean, you're closer in age to Ryan than I think any of us here. Does he have a pretty good point? Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, The thing you were talking about in politics, it is such a part of people's mindset and worldview now.

Like, it's it almost has to be brought up on the first date. I would not want that to happen. Like, I just want to get to know someone first, but it's like. If you don't know what their politics are, I mean, that's one thing you want to be aligned on if you're going to get married. I'm trying to figure out if I should share this story or not on air.

I think you should. No, I shouldn't.

So there was.

So, you know, I'm a good Southern Baptist. And in our denomination, Our denomination, the women don't preach.

So I went out on a date. I was in college, went out on a date. Buddy set me up and said, Hey, you got to go out with this girl. And she was all nice enough until I asked, there was just something off, just something off. And it turns out it took me all of three minutes into the date to figure out: number one, she was a feminist.

And number two, when I asked her, I said, Oh, what church do you go to? She said, Oh, I'm a Methodist. And I said, Oh, well, what are you studying? She goes to a Methodist school. I said, What are you majoring in?

She goes, Oh, I'm going to be a preacher. Mm. That's two strikes. You know what happened?

So I was so shocked that we were in traffic and I actually hit the car in front of me. I'm not as tag as old Fenderbender there. Wow. So that didn't work out. No.

But all that to say, I mean, she's poor Beth from North Carolina's got a point. Where do you go to meet people now that apparently, I guess, politics is part of the whole dating experience? There needs to be uh a dating app, probably, a conservative dating app. Maybe. Wow.

What is it? What is the Christian mingle? Yeah. That's out there. I don't know.

Trump mingle? Helen just said farmers only. Farmers only. What? Try it out.

I don't know. We'll see. Isn't there like a reality show about Farmers getting wives or something? Probably. No, seriously, it's out there.

I don't know what. I'll have to look this up. Yeah, there are so many weird reality shows. Yeah, Love Island is back on. Is that right?

Yeah, I am coerced into watching that every night.

Well, you're married. Yep.

So you've got to do that stuff now. Yes. Not my yes, dear season for me. You know what I watched last night? What is this?

Honest to goodness, this is a great thing. For some reason, I've been hankering for.

Well, it's been showing off on my Instagram. I'm in a new algorithm. You know, for the longest time, I was in the Elephants Giving Birth algorithm.

Now I'm in the Clint Eastwood algorithm. Oh, nice. Yeah. And so I watched a Clint, old school Clint Eastwood movie last time. Wow, there you go.

Magnum. I need to watch those movies. I need to watch those Western movies. I really haven't watched any of those.

Okay, these were not. This was now, so before all the Westerns, Clinton Eastwood was like a San Francisco cop. Oh, and yeah.

So it's those like Dirty Hairy movies, unbelievable. You got to go. They're all politically incorrect. I'm taking notes.

So you gotta watch Dirty Harry.

Okay. All right. We're gonna take a break here, folks. Any ideas, any recommendations you might have for good conservative folks like Beth, where they can go and find. friendship or companionship.

You know, one of the problems in church in the church world is you've got it used to be used to have a lot of guys that would go to church just to get dates because they wanted to date the wholesome church girls. And now the girls are showing up The heathen girls, because they want to meet the nice church boys. No, I didn't say I didn't say that word. I'm just saying heathen.

Okay. The sidewalk sallies. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back.

Our good friends Mary Walter and Kay Smythe Hill joining us because now these radical Democrat feminists. Are you wanting to have special privileges in the workplace when it comes to, well, those ladies' days? Let's take a listen. Mary, to you first. It's a little ironic here, seeing how the governor of Washington State cannot actually define what a woman is.

What say you? Yeah, wow. This is a really, really rich mine to ore here, is it not? They don't tell you exactly how they're gonna help women, which I think is interesting. Like, exactly, what are you gonna do?

Do they have any idea that perimenopause to postmenopausal can be more than 10 years?

So, I'm not quite sure, but I just see this snowballing into they're just not going to hire women anymore because they're just going to stay at home every time they have a bad night's sleep because they're up at 3 o'clock in the morning every single night. And it's just going to have a bad outcome. And like you said, they don't know how to define a woman.

So, when Todd in accounting decides that he's going through menopause, does he now suddenly get all of these accommodations as well? I don't know. Can we call him Carl, please? Come on, Mary. Come on.

I'm sorry. Carl. Kay, I thought the whole point of this we've already off the rails. Come on, ladies. Look, Kay, I thought the whole point of the whole equal rights movement was actually for equal treatment and not special treatment.

What say you? If it was actually special treatment, I would be all for it. I love to be treated like I'm special. I think all women know that we put up with a lot more when it comes to our bodies than men have to put up with. We do a lot more in terms of, you know, having children, even just going through like a regular hormonal sort of.

Trend process, whatever you want to call it, before you hit the perimenopausal stage of life and the menopausal stage of life. It's crazy. It's a lot of work. It does make us a little bit loopy. And I think that if we were actually going to be treated as special, and if science actually knew how to manage these hormonal fluctuations and it had actually been studied enough for that to be the case, I'd be all for it.

But no, I think this is just stupid posturing by the government, and I don't want the government involved in this part of my life. Uh so, you know, it's just it's one of those where I just I just think it's another politician looking to make headlines and uh it's been pretty successful. Hopefully, maybe some good science will actually come out of this and we'll start trying to figure out what actually happens to us when we hit that particular stage in life. And if we can get special treatment, again, I'm all for it. Chocolate, free chocolate at work, that would be nice.

Jeez old. Things like that. A Capitol Hill press conference, ladies, also getting attention. I'm ignoring you, case myth. Another press conference getting attention.

Democrat lawmakers are talking about something called period pain and whether workers should get time off because of that. Let's take a listen. Forcing a worker to choose between paying her rent. Or losing a day's pay to recover from a grueling gynecological procedure is not a choice. It's an economic violence.

We are done being gaslit in the exam room. Health is not a luxury and our pain is not an inconvenience. Uh All right, so it's economic violence when the employers do not pay women to stay home from work while they are dealing with their how do I say this delicately, ladies' days. Mary, what say you? Ladies' days, Todd.

Dear Lord, you're making this more uncomfortable than it has to be.

So I had a roommate who got sometimes when she had her period, she was so, she would be on the floor of the bathroom sick, puking from pain.

Okay. That's how bad it can be. Men don't understand that. All right. That's number one.

Number two, though, are we going to, women just aren't going to work for one week out of every month? And then they're going to get time off for menopause. I'm sorry, but I see this as a way to take women out of the workplace. That's exactly what this is because employers aren't. I'm going to go back to my first point.

They're not going to want to employ women. My very first employer said to me, well, why should I, my very first radio employer said, well, why should I hire you? You're just going to have babies and then all my training is lost.

So it's always been there under the surface, and now they're like putting on this cloak of, like, oh, we care about you. And it's just a way to get women out of the workplace, 100%. That's what I think. I think this is a very, very dangerous thing. And if women are angry, you better watch out.

Ladies, we are thankfully switching gears now. Let's talk about MS Now, Ollie Belshi, sparking backlash. She talks about being uneasy with celebrating America's 250th birthday. Let's take a listen. Anniversaries are imperfect records of the thing which is being celebrated.

In America's case, anniversaries often gloss over the racial dynamics underlying much of America's history and politics, issues that remain unsolved because America has never actually fully reckoned with its racist past and its original founding sin of slavery. In one month, America will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding. Like previous anniversaries, there is a deep unease about this. I feel a deep unease about the celebrations to which I am invited to mark the 250th anniversary of our so-called democracy. All right, so a lot of people may not be aware of this guy born in Kenya, raised in Canada, and somehow we let him into the country a few years back.

And a lot of folks are now saying this guy needs to be denaturalized and deported back to Canada. Kay, what say you? Yeah, I mean, if he doesn't like it here, go home. It is that flipping simple. I hate, I hate people like this.

They make it so much harder for patriotic immigrants like me to be taken seriously. This guy is an absolute clown show. Oh, I just think it's just going to be really emotionally difficult to deal with the history. Shut up. You walk down beautiful streets every single day.

Okay, maybe not in like some democratic-run cities because of the homeless crisis, but still, you have running water, you have hot and cold flowing air. We don't even have that in Europe.

Okay, he lives in the greatest country in the world, hands down. And like every single other country, every single other part of the planet, it has a complex past. Guess what? It's the past. That's not necessarily what we're celebrating.

We're celebrating the existence of this incredible nation. This guy is a clown show. This guy is a clown show. Very embarrassing. MS Now is also a stupid name.

Mary, I've got to get this in for you. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser making a very interesting announcement yesterday. Let's take a listen. Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and fully represented.

We're celebrating Pride Month in the gayest city in the world. Jazz hands, uh, Mary. Look. She may not be wrong here, and it makes sense because MAGA correspondent Natalie Winters, she was on with Steve Bannon, did an interview a while back, and she said that most men, conservative guys in the nation's capital, are in fact gay, saying it crosses both party lines. And I'm wondering, maybe this is why women are having such a hard time finding men in DC.

Well, there's a whole lot wrong with D.C. that can explain why women are having a hard time finding men in D.C. D.C. is a very, very weird place. And I don't know, I think you almost have to be born and bred in it in order to be able to withstand Washington, D.C.

I just want to know is how come the Democrats, whenever the Democrats get together to make some kind of an announcement or something like that, they are just surrounded by, it almost looks like Ringling Brothers just vomited on them, right? Because like the clown car opened up and they just kept pouring out. They don't, I can't take them seriously when they're doing stuff like this. You want to have fun. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch.

Spray. Yeah. I love. Love is American. Time start.

All right. Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starns Radio Program. Great to have you with us. Hour three of the big show.

Broadcasting border to border, coast to coast, across the fruit and plain.

Well, a lot happening in Washington, a lot happening in California right now. This slow moving steal of the vote, and President Trump is pretty upset about all of this. The President going on true social and laying out the argument that the Democrats are trying to steal the election. I do not disagree with President Trump here. We're going to get into more of that in just a little while.

But I would like to go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, say hello to Congressman Andy Ogles from the great state of Tennessee. And we've got a lot to talk about in the world of politics. Congressman, hope you're doing well. I am. Thanks for having me on.

So, look, I've got to give you and your staff props here because we knew you were coming on the program, and we've got to talk about what happened earlier today. And I appreciate you being willing to do that. A lot of lawmakers would not want to have that kind of courage or do not have that kind of courage. And I appreciate you taking a moment to kind of help us understand what happened.

So, earlier this week, there was a tweet that was put out on your account that said homosexuality has no place in America. And we all know the hullabaloo, the firestorm that followed, including a lot of conservative lawmakers.

So, Congressman, just help us set the record straight here. What happened here?

Well, you know, someone on my staff got a little overzealous to say the least, and it was a stupid tweet. I literally was working on my farm and received a phone call from one of my colleagues asking if I knew about the tweet. And, you know, I don't manage my social media. But that being said, as soon as I was alerted to it, we took it down. And I then put out a statement on Twitter clarifying the fact: look, my focus is the MAGA agenda, the America First agenda, and quite frankly, warning Americans about the threat of Islam.

Anything else is a distraction, which is why I wanted to clear up the record.

So, a couple of questions here, and I think you answered the first one. To be clear, so you don't do anything on your social media.

Somebody controls that for you? Yeah, ninety eight percent of the time. You know, I I have a comms team. They do a fantastic job, but this was a mistake and uh I had them fix it. All right.

Um the individual who who did this, are are they still employed with your office? Yes, they are. Obviously, I've put restrictions in place to make sure that something like this never happens. Because, you know, again, I say it. Overwhelmingly, all the time, you know, California has a right to be liberal.

Tennessee has a right to be conservative. Californians have a right to be liberal. I have a right to be conservative. That means you get to be you, and I get to be me. And so I'm not going to criticize someone for their life choices.

I may not agree with that life choice, but at the end of the day, my focus is the maggage and America first and warning about that threat of Islam, which is imperative to the future of this country.

Well, no doubt about that. And again, I don't want to dwell on this, but again, the idea that homosexuality has no place in America. How did your staff, again, if they're controlling your social media, how in the world would they think that is something that you would approve of?

Well again, it's a little baffling. Obviously, I'm pro-family. I'm pro-traditional marriage and that sort of thing. But I'm pro-family. I'm not anti-anything else other than anti-Islam.

All right. What was your reaction when you saw that when you saw what what they what they had tweeted? I literally was saying, again, my wife and I, the kids were working on the farm, and I looked at my wife and I said, stupid, stupid, stupid. I mean, it's just like, I can't describe it any other way. It was a stupid tweet.

It should have never been put out. And we immediately took it down and addressed it, which is why I'm willing to come on the show and talk about it. And look, again, people have a right to make a decision. The Supreme Court has ruled on the issue. That being said, that's not my focus.

No, and look, the fact of the matter is, there are a lot of good, solid, gay conservatives out there who are, some of them actually serve in the cabinet. I'm surprised Scott Besson didn't give you a call, Ms. Congressman. I have a dear friend of mine, known him for 20 years, who saw the tweet and I called him and said, hey, buddy, this wasn't me, and I had it taken down. But look, he lives his life.

I get to live my life. And we live in the greatest country in America. But again, it was an incredibly stupid post. And it's a distraction from the real issues at hand. in this country.

All right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Congressman Andy Ogles explaining that controversy. I do want to move on because there are so many other issues going on here. We're watching what's happening in California.

And Congressman, this goes back to why it was so vitally important that we get the Save America Act across the finish line so that we can't have these situations where it's taking weeks to count votes and having Democrats steal elections. Yeah, absolutely. And it's really, you know, baffling.

So when you look at the House of Representatives, we passed the Save Act. We then passed a revision of that, the Save America Act, which had some additional provisions in it. And the Senate has done absolutely nothing. And this is an issue that has 83, 85 percent support when you look at the numbers. And that's a CNN poll.

So Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, I mean, just everybody in between, regardless of race, color, creed, supports the idea of the Save America Act and having an ID to vote. And so that being said, it does underscore the fact that we know that the Democrats lie, cheat, and steal when it comes to elections, and they're going to do whatever they can to steal the election that's underway. Congressman, you mentioned Islam, and no doubt about it. It is a major issue in this country. Certainly, a lot of folks in the southern states have great concerns as we've been watching an influx.

How do we fix this? I mean, you know, we're a Christian nation. There are some who say, well, we've got to accept all religions here in this country. What say you? Yeah.

Well, I mean, I think we have to have a tough conversation on this issue of Islam. And part of that is to look at Europe. And so Europe's about 10 years ahead of us on the curve, if you will. And you can look at London, you can look in Paris, you can look at Rome, and that migrant population disproportionately Islamic is 8% to 12%. I'm speaking in broad terms, or generic numbers, but it's 50-52% of all sex crimes.

They have a problem in Europe when it comes to the mass rape of the European continent. That's coming to America if we don't have an honest conversation.

So that's why I have the Assimilation Act. We're going to be rolling out another piece of immigration legislation where we get to decide who comes in. We can deport people. We can be more aggressive and only importing people into this country that really align with our values. Look, I think this is important.

And again, this is a pretty significant piece of legislation with an 83-page Assimilation Act. I know you're working with Senator Tommy Tuberville on that.

Meanwhile, there in the Nashville area, there's all sorts of craziness when it comes to, for example, illegal immigration. It seems as though the middle Tennessee area has just been inundated with these illegals, and certainly glad to see ICE out there hunting down folks. Yeah, I mean, when you look at the, you know, the task forces that have been deployed to cities like Memphis, like Nashville, like Chicago, it's made a huge difference in the communities and the safety as you're getting criminals off of the streets.

So I'm very appreciative of President Trump. And when I was in Memphis and I had the opportunity to talk to some of the residents, they were appreciative of President Trump. And these are individuals who historically vote Democrat, but they appreciate Trump being dedicated to their community and making Memphis safe again. This is a crazy story. I know Senator Marshall Blackburn's been really upset about this, but the mayor of Nashville, a guy by the name of Freddie O'Connell, this idea, he's pitching about a $3.8 billion budget.

City council's pushing back on that. More than $700,000 is being designated to a pro-illegal alien nonprofit fund. What in the world is going on there?

Well, I mean, he's a, you know, a textbook liberal, you know, kind of California-esque, if you will. But that being said, you know, we have veterans that are still committing suicide at a rate of 20, 22 a day. We have kids in the third grade that can't read and do arithmetic. Like, that's almost a million dollars that could be spent on those two issues that really would benefit the community versus helping illegals who are literally here in violation of the law. And so enough is enough.

My hope would be that at some point Freddie O'Connell is no longer the mayor of Nashville and they can get a conservative in there because, look, Nashville is the jewel of the South. Tennessee is the economic engine of the South. And the last thing we need is a socialist mayor who's really running the city into the ground. You know, Congressman, I know you've been busy up there on Capitol Hill, also working with Senator Rick Scott. And there is a bill that you guys are putting together that would rename the Chinese Embassy Street after Tiananmen Square.

Tell us about that.

Well, when you think about that tragedy that happened all so many so many years ago, it really just puts a fine point on the fact that, again, they're a society whose values do not align with ours. They're a country that is constantly undermining the United States of America on financial services and Homeland Security. And I'm chairman of Cyber. And what I can tell you is when I get classified briefings, the number one culprit, the nation that is constantly attacking us, trying to get into our systems, whether it's water or energy or banks, is China.

So this is just shedding a light on who they are, how they behave, and what they do to their people. All right. Well, good. And we're going to talk more about that this evening. I know you're going to be on our Newsmax show, so we look forward to having that conversation.

Congressman, appreciate you coming on the show, and thank you for answering those questions. Everybody makes mistakes, and appreciate you owning up to it. And we just move on from there. Yes, sir. Thank you.

All right. There you go, folks. Congressman Andy Ogles on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. And I appreciate that. I appreciate lawmakers that are willing to come up and say, you know what?

Yeah, we screwed up. Let me just say this about our social media. Dylan, there's no way in the world I would ever let you. Ever touch my social media account? Very smart man.

I just, for me, and again, it's Everything I write is written by me. And whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter. It's people n need to know that it's it's coming from me. Otherwise, I'm not quite sure what the point of of an X page is if you've got staff that are writing all of that. It would be kind of funny if you let your Gen Z staff run your social media for a day.

Yeah, I mean, you guys would be simping this and simping that and dropping tea on this and dropping tea on that and whatever. Hey, if we get a viral post, you have to give it a second thought. Chocolate pudding emojis all over the place. Yeah, exactly. But you know what?

I guarantee you, everybody on Capitol Hill, aside from Tim Burchett, Burchett actually handles his own account, by the way. Everybody else, I can promise you, their staff is doing it. You know who's handling John. No, we can't say it. We can't spill the tea on that.

I do. No, Congressman John Rose. Oh, yeah. His Twitter account, and one day I'm like, man, he's really fired up. And then I realized he's not writing that, but we know who it is.

We know who is. Anyway, got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. By the way, John Bolton in hot water, pleading guilty to some pretty, birdie bad things, and he could be doing some serious jail time.

We're going to tell you all about that coming up next. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show.

This segment of the program is brought to you by our friends at Newsmax, and they are very concerned about whether or not you're getting all of the social security benefits you need. And they're saying that there are five key strategies that you can utilize to increase your benefits by as much as $188,000 over a lifetime. Michael Allen, a social security expert, revealing all of this. And Newsmax wants to give you this free special report. All you need to do is call 1-800-999-9690.

Again, that number, 800-999-9690, and we will text you all of that information. Text and data rates may apply. Let's go to the phone lines: 901-260-5926. Our good friend, Black Conservative from Collierville, Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM. Black Conservative, what's going on, my friend?

Hey, Todd, I'm sorry I missed you when you came up to the Caius Square. It's been many months ago, and I was there, but I didn't get a chance to engage you. Uh I could feel you know, hold on a sec, black conservative, I remember that moment and I could sense there was something different in the audience. There was I don't know, it was a very positive force, and I had no idea it was you and your erudite mind. Yeah.

Well, uh, Todd I uh I heard Tom Holman uh educates uh AOC. About um asylum, people seek seeking asylum and illegal aliens. And I've talked to some of my uh friends and I try to explain to them because the moment they hear Trump That that's all they need to hear. Uh, they are totally against it, and I said, Okay, in your house, if somebody knocks on your door. And you open it up.

Okay, if you open it up and they come in, are they not considered a visitor? But what if they come down your chimney? Under your floorboard. Uh through your windows. And they got my point.

Well, sometimes that's what it takes, is just maybe some reasoning here. And if people are willing to listen, you know, they're going to come around. Yeah. Uh, but I am appalled at uh what the Trump administration is doing. with the silent thing and hold them ought to have some wisdom on this.

And and I hear crickets. This is what I'm talking about.

Okay. If you go through the ports of entry and claim asylum, that's legal. I think there's over 30 ports of entry. If they're really claiming asylum, go there. But what I'm appalled at And I tried to call Blackburn and some of the others and tell them.

What are we doing about the solemn court? Or there asylum court? Are we agitating? adjudicating those who are coming to the court. Are they gonna follow?

Why don't we publicize it maybe weekly and say how many of them We are uh allowing to have their court date. And what's going on? Cricket. We we don't have nothing. Going.

And so it's hard to separate people coming from a lot asylum and Um there they go Arian. uh when we don't publicize Uh well for it, Todd.

Well, we do know this. I think I understand where you're coming from here. I know the Trump administration has been really focused on expediting the asylum cases. But the question is, exactly what kinds of people are they allowing into the country here?

Now, the White House says that asylum grants have actually fallen to 7% under the Trump administration. This is coming from the White House numbers. And according to the White House, immigration courts issued nearly 500,000 removal orders in 2025, which was a 57% increase.

So while I hear your concerns here, black conservative, it certainly appears that the White House may not be you know, they actually may be cracking down. Oh, I don't doubt the crackdown. I'm talking about the pup. publicity. You know, we we can lose the polit pub publicity war while we're doing the right thing.

Uh I've known for years that if people get their date in court, The port silo. There's a large percentage of them that don't or qualify for asylum. I do wonder why, Conservative. I've had a change of heart over this. I'm okay with not having a lot of publicity as long as they're deporting all of these people.

And otherwise, you don't want Minnesota all over again, where every single day you've got the wall-to-wall coverage of people being dragged out of their homes. I would like to think that is still actually being done. It's just not leading the network news. Black conservative, I got to go, my friend. It is good hearing from you.

Don't be a stranger, and we always love having your erudite mind visit the show. All right. Good man right there. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number.

This is the Todd Stern Show. I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five?

Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kind of lost track myself But Ianus is a 44 magnet, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky?

Well do you bunker? Wow. All right, there you go. It's one of the iconic lines. Dylan, this is what I'm talking about.

This is the movie that I need to watch. This is the movie that you got to watch.

Well, it's not just, it's a series of movies. But anyway, we're going to throw out a trivia question here. And we want to know, Clint Eastwood, what was the first and last name of the character? That he played in that series.

So, by the way, he was, it was, this was back in the early, early 1970s, like 1971, 73, 76. And he played the character in every single one of those films.

So, if you can tell us first and last name. Then we're going to give you a copy of my brand new upcoming book called The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. By the way, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Don't I gotta play this other clip from uh the great great um great Clem Eastwood.

Next applicant. Officer Moore, how long have you been on the force? Nine years. What department? Mainly personnel and records.

Eric?

Well, Officer Moore, maybe you'll tell us all here about your most important felony arrest. I've never made a felony arrest.

Well, maybe you'll tell us about your best misdemeanor arrest then. I've never made a misdemeanor arrest either. Then what the hell gives you the right to become an inspector when there's men who've been out there in the street for 10 or 15 years? The woman's place is in the home. Is that what you're trying to say?

What do you think this is?

Some kind of encounter group? I want to know what Officer Moore's going to do when somebody points a gun at her and says, hit the deck, you son of a bitch! You're just deliberately trying to fail this candidate, aren't you, Callahan?

Well, if she fails out there, she gets her ass blown off. It's my ass. Except that out there you're gonna have a partner. If you get blown away, he gets blown away with you. And that's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish.

Wow. That's Dylan. That's how they used to do movies back in the day. It seems like a lot better than now. A lot better, right?

Exactly. And by the way, they were dealing with all that woke nonsense, that DEI stuff back in 1971. I'm just telling you. All right, we're going to get to your phone calls. Hang tight.

We've got a lot of folks wanting to call in and try their hand at trivia. In the meantime, I do want to go to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line, and we're just honored to have one of the great writers and journalists of America with us, Tyler O'Neill from the Daily Signal. And Tyler, you had an exclusive, an explosive post-up, a story that was posted yesterday. In bed with neo-Nazi new indictment exposes the Southern Poverty Law Center's relationships with white nationalists. First, Good to have you with us.

What the heck is going on? Yeah, thanks so much for having me, Todd.

So, yeah, what the heck is going on is a good question. When you're looking at this superseding indictment that was handed down on Tuesday, is what we're hearing from the grand jury. The SPLC has already been charged with wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to conceal money laundering. But in this superseding indictment, we get a lot more of the concrete, nitty-gritty details of exactly what the SPLC stands accused of doing.

So the broad message here is that the S PLC Was acting like an exterminator who planted rats in people's houses, or like a fireman who moonlights as an arsonist. In other words, they were going out and they were propping up the very hate that they told donors they existed to oppose. And that is just, if you get nothing else, that's the nutshell of the indictment. But yeah. This is just insane.

And I want to focus on what happened in Charlottesville, because if I'm reading this correctly, it looks as though they actually bankrolled. Whatever happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. They bankrolled one of the organizers of the so-called Unite the Right rally.

So, what this was, and by the way, Charlottesville is, it stinks to high heaven with the SPLC's involvement. Because before this, the SPLC put out a hate map where they had all across the country the Confederate monuments. And they said these monuments are inspiring turmoil and bloodshed. And among the monuments, they had statues of Robert E. Lee, for instance, but they also had middle schools and high schools that are named after Confederates.

And so they were inspiring. Acts against these monuments. And then at the same time, as we learn from these indictments, they were sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to one of the organizers of the Unite the Rights side, the side with the white nationalists. And so this person who was on the SPLC payroll. brought more people to the rally and also under the SPLC and SPLC employees supervision was posting racist messages online.

which means that a lot of that Unite the Right, a lot of the really ugly stuff in Charlottesville that happened in twenty seventeen can be traced back to the Southern Poverty Law Center's funding. I mean, I'm sure we're going to get even more details as this story develops and unfolds and as the court cases begin. But it's just really shocking to me that you've got this organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, bringing in millions and millions of dollars. It's almost like the mafia going out there and going into a neighborhood and staging all these robberies and businesses and then coming back the next day and saying, hey, if you want to be protected from the bad guys, you've got to give us, what, 10% of whatever you're making? I mean, it seems like they were creating a problem that did not exist.

Yes. Well, they were propping up a problem that, at the very least, was not nearly as bad as they tell their donors it is. And the other aspect of this, which I think you're very familiar with, is that they weren't just propping up these real white nationalist groups, but they were also systematically smearing mainstream conservative and Christian groups by putting them on this hate map with chapters of the Klan saying that they're part of the infrastructure upholding white supremacy in America. I don't know about you, but I don't think Alliance Defending Freedom or the Family Research Council or Turning Point USA is part of the infrastructure upholding white supremacy. No.

it is beyond the pale the attacks the SPLC engages in, but they were only taken seriously because they were known as the force that combated real white supremacy. And therefore, that's why their attacks had any sting whatsoever. All right, we have Tyler O'Neill joining us from the Daily Signal, and just a shocking report. New information coming out in these court documents. Tyler, it looks to me that and again, I'm not an attorney here, but just reading the allegations and the documentation, it looks like the DOJ has these guys dead to rights.

Yeah, I think this is a strong case. The main thing that I always come back to with this case, because a lot of people on the left constantly say, oh, it's a weak case. They don't have a strong document here. I'm looking at this. They have in black and white statements from an SPLC staffer who was apparently creating bank accounts and told the bank, I am the owner of these accounts of this entity.

And then a few years later, the SPLC president says, these accounts were managed on behalf of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

So you have classic black and white bank fraud, if nothing else. And even if for some reason the indictment falls apart, this scandal needs to dog the SPLC for years because they were funding. I mean, there are in existence today, or there were in existence. Clan robes. That were paid for by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the SPLC also paid for a cross burning.

I mean, this is the sort of thing the SPLC was propping up in some cases, the very hate it claims to oppose. And Americans need to know. And Tyler, maybe I'm going a step too far here, but I think an argument could be made that their fake, this phony race war narrative they were advancing actually led to President Trump's downfall in the 2020 election. I mean, they truly wanted to portray President Trump as the leader of all of this stuff. They repeatedly, yeah, so year after year, and one of the reasons why they went after mainstream conservative and Christian groups, it wasn't just because they disagreed with them on policy, which, you know, we can have debates on these things, but they also systematically defamed them.

And if you look at the report that came out in 2020, you had President Trump's name all over their hate map, year-in hate and extremism report, which, you know, this was ahead of the election, mind you.

So the question of whether they were engaging in an attempt to affect the election is a big question in my mind. All right. Well, Tyler, great reporting. And we know you're a busy guy. We appreciate you joining us this afternoon.

And we just appreciate you guys bulldogging this story. We've got to get to the bottom of it. And great work, sir. Thank you. Thanks again for having me.

All right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Tyler O'Neill with the Daily Signal as they're all over this story. And he is, he's not kidding, everybody. It's they came after even yours truly and tried to portray me.

As some sort of a, I don't know, an anti-black, you know, racist, whatever you want to call it. Just unacceptable. 901-260-5926. Our telephone over. That's 901-260-5926.

Want to go to Memphis, Tennessee? We have Kurt listening to us on KWAM. Kurt, how are you today? I'm doing good, Todd. How about yourself?

Kurt, I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. And we're going to try to help you win a copy of my brand new book. It's not going to be out for another, well, August 11th is the date, August the 11th. But you have a chance to win.

We need you, you know, Dylan, let's play the very first cut here so we can remind everybody of what we're talking about. There we go. I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five?

Well to tell you the truth and all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But the end is a 44 magnet, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky?

Well do you bunk? All right, Kurt. Who in the world is that? That would be Inspector Harry Callahan. Come on, Joe.

Yeah, uh-huh, that's it. We would have taken a Dirty Harry too, but yeah, Inspector Harry Gallagher. By the way, Kurt, did you ever watch those? The name of the movie actually was Dirty Harry is Dirty Harry. Dirty Harry, that's right.

But do you know why they call him Dirty Harry? Yeah. Do you know? Yeah, no, they call him Dirty Harry because he would always take the dirty jobs. And so he was always assigned those jobs nobody else wanted.

I've seen every one of those movies probably 100 times over. Man, Kurt, so for some reason, again, I was talking about earlier, you know, in my Instagram feed, I'm getting all these clips from the Clint Easterwood movie.

So last night I just went home and I watched Magnum, and then I fell asleep. I'm going to go back and rewatch the last half of the movie. But I just, you know, there's something about those old school movies of the 70s, early 70s. There's something about those great films. Kurt, congratulations.

We're going to put you on hold and we're going to get your information. Congratulations. You've just won a copy of my new book. It's called The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. Thank you, Todd.

I appreciate it. Keep doing what you're doing, man. All right, Kurt. God bless you. God bless you, sir.

All right, good man, right there. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Dylan, when you go back and watch some of those movies, you're just going to be shocked by the language. The behavior, the things that were actually allowed to be said in the movie theaters.

I know that was sort of like the golden age of free speech back in the day. That sounds really refreshing.

So I'll have to do that. Yeah, you got to start with Dirty Harry, the first one.

Okay. And then work your way up. And then we'll talk about Steve McQueen. Oh, we'll educate you there, too. I'm ready to be educated.

All right. 901-260-5926. This is the Tod Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns radio show.

I got to play this audio. This is our good buddy, Senator Jim Bakes out of Indiana. And he's talking about why 12-year-olds are being asked about their sexuality. Take a listen to Cut33, please. Kids have to be 18, or anyone has to be 18 before they can buy tobacco, 21 before you can buy alcohol.

16 before you can have a driver's license. Um how how young uh or are some children in America when they have the a sex Transition surgery. Yeah, as we noted, we could Put together a database based on claims data, the Stop the Harm database, and noted almost 14,000 kids less than the age of 17 and a half, and many of those, again, young teenagers who had these hormonal interventions and procedures for 5,700 surgeries. These are significant numbers. When we look at the number of children who have taken such medications, there is a study from the Journal of the American Medical Association that looks at a rate of 1.4 out of 1,000 girls by the time they are 18 that have taken some form of medication related to gender transition.

That's the same as the rate of diabetes in the population, type 2 diabetes.

So I think there's great concern in that regard. Ms. Cole, how old were you? I was 13 years old when they put me on the first interventions, and I was 15. I didn't even have a driver's license yet.

I didn't even have my first relationship when I had surgery to remove my breasts. Huh. Uh lifelong Uh issues as you noted. Complications that you could have received. Mr.

Minter. How young is it appropriate? Is it appropriate to talk to a child about? sexuality At what age? Is it appropriate?

Twel twelve. Is that appropriate? It is, I'm not sure what that has to do with the medical care we're talking about. Is it appropriate at 12 to talk to a child about their sexuality? You know who that decision belongs to, parents.

Is it appropriate for a teacher to talk to a child about issues of sexuality at the age of 12? Yeah. Oh, geez.

So, why are you doing it? That's what I want. I mean, it's a very simple question here. But again, we go through this every single year. It doesn't matter who's in political office, where you have all of these schools that are cramming this agenda down the throats of boys and girls.

But it's not just 12 years old now. We're talking about children. We talked about this yesterday with Sesame Street. Sesame Street designed for children ages two through six.

So why are you trying to groom a two-year-old? And teach them about, I don't know, what did gender neutrality, or was it genderqueer, pansexual, all sorts of crazy stuff? It's just. It's beyond aggravating. This is criminal behavior we're talking about here.

And this, again, is why it is so important that we go beyond President Trump's executive orders and actually codify these executive orders so that people can be held accountable for all of this. Because the fact of the matter is, if you were to do what if you were to just go out on the street and take what they're doing in the classroom and do that out on the street to a child, you would be arrested and you would be brought up on child sex crime charges. I mean, that's how bad this is. But because it's in a classroom, well, they give it the stamp of approval. Come on.

All right, we got to wrap it up there, folks. Hey, ToddSterns.com. Download our free podcast and our newsletter. You can do that over at the website tonight, 5 o'clock Eastern. We're going to be at Newsmax.

So be sure to hang out with us. And then tomorrow, noon o'clock, right back here on the radio. Be good, America.
