Oh, save. Can you see by the dawn what so pronely we held at the twilight last week whose ships and bright stars through the landlord's light or the rusty watch were so gallantly streaming and the road of the rocket singing through And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we are kicking off our 25th anniversary edition of this program, remembering the Muslim terrorist attacks that were waged. On this country on September 11th, 2001. Hello, everybody. I'm Todd Starnes.

Welcome to all of our great affiliate stations down the line. We certainly appreciate you joining us today. The Voices You Heard: the Brooklyn Youth Choir singing just an incredibly moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner there in Lower Manhattan at the memorial service. You know, it's interesting, and we've got, we're going to be taking your calls today, reflecting back on that day. Do you remember what you were doing when you learned that the attacks were underway?

And also, what lessons have we learned, and what lessons do we still need to learn as we go through this 25th anniversary of the attacks? I will tell you one of the more despicable things that we just saw play out on national television. The there people are it's an emotional time. People lost loved ones and they are are weeping at the um at the at the at the location of where the towers once stood. weeping at the memorial site for family members.

who have been taken from them. and while all that was happening, Mayor Zora Mamdami and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, were seen laughing and giggling.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, over a hundred thousand people signed a petition. telling Mayor Mamdami to stay away from the memorial service today, and I told you on this program the only reason why the Mayor wanted to go to Ground Zero was to gloat. And I just can't tell you what a despicable image that was as the camera transitioned for a man who was weeping in tears. To all of a sudden see Zoran Mamdami and AOC laughing and giggling like they're at some sort of a party. It's just absolutely reprehensible.

So, look, we're going to get into all of this, but every year that we have commemorated the 9-11 Muslim terrorist attacks, we've been honored to have one of the very first journalists on the scene who reported on the events of that day. She is featured in a number of documentaries. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Robin Walinski joining us. Robin, 25 years.

And you were there to witness it all, and you were the voice on the radio that brought this news to the American people. Todd It is incredible to me that it has been twenty-five years. There are moments where Seems like a really long time ago. And then it's moments that I live it every day of my life. I'm sitting in my office, and I'm looking to the left at some pictures.

of me interviewing a survivor from nine eleven. And I look at these pictures every day when I work. You know this. You and I worked together at Fox News Radio. I had those same pictures on my desk.

to never forget, you and I have known each other the entire twenty five years. And You know, it's kind of like, you know, when someone you love dies, you know, it just never goes away. But there are a lot of lessons to be learned. When we say never forget, my biggest, you know, I've spent the whole week thinking about our interview today. My biggest nugget going forward.

Is that people like myself who were there, who were eye witnesses to history, who saw people that I thought at the time was furniture going out the window, you know, plane in, furniture and desks out. You know, your eye can only see so far. The Twin Towers stood tall at 1,000 feet. But it was really people crossing themselves, holding hands, jumping to their desks. Because the fire was raging inside.

Think about that decision, Todd. You and I as coworkers. deciding whether to jump out the window or burn to death. This is the horror that radical Islam, al-Qaeda terrorists who are very much alive and well in this country, because the last administration opened the floodgates and the door to twenty-five million people who we have no accounting of who they are. And we're fighting an ideology.

And this was the scene that they wanted to create complete chaos and havoc. and take down the number one symbol in this country that stood for American might. What building can you name in the United States where you potentially could have taken out north of 25,000 people in one hit? You can't name it because it doesn't exist.

So We need to get 9-11 back in the schools, back in the textbooks. It was removed during the Common Core agenda. Um, in the last you know, 15 to 20 years, it was taken out. They call it Patriots' Day, you know, there's all this nonsense. You can't in Virginia today, Todd, there's news that you can't associate and teach 9/11 and talk about radical Islam.

Right. Well, who caused it? Who's behind it? If you know, if you're an alcoholic and you can't sit in a meeting and say, Hi, my name is John, and I'm an alcoholic, you're never going to get better and cured for your alcoholism. And I maintain, I want to make this point, Todd, I don't know how much time we have, but my overarch of the 25 years looking back, I was also in the 93 World Trade Center bombing, and it was the same crowd of radical Islamic thugs that went to topple the towers in February of 1993 in the snow that Friday.

And I sat on that snow and filed my reports. And six people were killed when they drove the bomb into the B two garage in nineteen ninety three. And I maintain, Todd, you are a political program here. There would be no 9-11. It never would have happened.

Had Bill Clinton and then Attorney General Janet Reno come to New York City. And said, This is a terrorist attack on America, and we are going to get you, and we are going to exterminate you. Like that one roach you see in your kitchen, you know that there's twenty hiding behind the cabinet. Bill Clinton and Janet Reno never did that, and it makes me angry because there would be no 9-11, period. Robin, we're going to keep you as long as you have time for this hour of the show because there's a lot to talk about.

And one of the I want to go back to that day. It's my understanding that you are actually supposed to be covering an event at Wall Street, at the New York Stock Exchange, when the attack started. You were a reporter at the time for what, AP Radio. Take us through what happened and when you got when you got to ground zero.

So I was on a phone call at 8.30, the call with Washington, D.C. And my assignment that day was to do what I did on the tenth, on Monday, the day before, which was to cover the volatile stock market.

So they wanted me to go downtown to be there for the ahead of the opening bell. And I lived in Manhattan and I had a car with press plates on it, so I could park it, throw it anywhere and just go about my day and my business. And I was literally walking out the door and my T V set flickered and I was watching ABC. And for those people who know this, ABC used to bang off of the tower, the big tower on the North Tower, Tower One, that big antenna.

So, you know, who wants to watch a flickering T V set at 8.45 in the morning? And I flipped over to the NBC station. And I remember the anchor, her name is Jane Hansen. She has since retired, and she was saying that the plane was in the World Trade Center. And the camera that NBC had mounted on the Empire State Building facing south From the T V live shot, that first shot, you could not see the hole because the hole came in from the Jersey side, from the Hudson River.

So all you could see was smoke billowing out the building. And I'm on the air and I could call Washington and I say to the person who answered the phone, Catherine Lumens, AP Network Radio, and I'm like, I don't even say my name. I just say, do you see this? And she says, yes, go live and get down there.

So I did a live shot. And then while I'm on the air doing the live shot, talking about how there's a A possible plane in the building because I don't like to report on things I can't actually see. the second plane hits the South Tower. And I like drop the phone and jump down there. I get down as close as I can to the buildings.

Both buildings are on fire. I'm thinking to myself, how in the world Are they going to put this out? All the facts and figures that I had in my head from the eight years prior from 93, how many people worked in the building, where the governor's office was, Kanner Fitzgerald had the top five floors, windows on the world. All these facts are like racing through my head. And I'm on a pay phone.

I convinced like 200 people, because all the cell phone service is out by this point. And I convinced 200 people with an AP network radio red and white mic flag: hey, I got to get on the air. And can I borrow can I borrow this payphone? And I'm literally standing in a payphone with the three sides, so you like can't see anything, right? You're just facing the payphone.

And suddenly I hear people screaming, Oh my God, oh my god, oh my god. I'm thinking, oh my god, what's worse than two buildings on fire, right, with planes in them. And I peer around the payphone Todd, and the South Tower is collapsing in slow motion. Robin, I want to put a pause there for just a moment. We've got to take a break.

When we come back, I want you to continue the story. And also, we're going to play some audio. And I also want to get your reaction to what Zoran Mamdami did earlier today as well. Ladies and gentlemen, we're honored to have my dear friend, a longtime journalism colleague at Fox News, Robin Walinski, joining us. She was an AP radio reporter in New York that morning.

If you have watched the 2021 documentary 9-11 inside the president's war room, one of the very first scenes is AP reporter Rita Foley interviewing Robin live on the ground. And it was just, it's a riveting, riveting conversation. We're going to take a break. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Starring Show. For nearly 3,000 years, Homer's The Iliad has shaped the Western imagination. As one of the foundational works of Western literature, it explores permanent questions about honor, courage, leadership, friendship, justice, and what it means to live a noble life. In one of the epic's defining moments, Achilles returns to battle after. The death of his beloved friend Patroclus, setting aside his wounded pride to confront the responsibilities that come with greatness, his decision reveals one of the central themes of the Iliad: that true greatness requires more than strength, it demands character, sacrifice, and the pursuit of what is right.

That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, The Iliad. Taught by Professor Stephen Smith, the course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature. Hillsdale.edu slash start now. Read the classics. Study the West.

Hillsdale.edu slash start now. Yeah. At this very hour, a quarter century ago, Islamic terrorists murdered. 184 Americans right here. at the Pentagon.

Their co-conspirators had already crashed two planes into two towers in New York. More conspirators murdered innocent Americans aboard an airplane that crashed in Shanksville. But on that flight Flight 93. Americans fought back. saving this very capital.

The first American counterattack. of the war. All told, Islamist terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 of our fellow Americans that day 25 years ago. It's hard to even imagine. These dastardly and cowardly attacks changed America.

in ways that Even the sound of those planes on this day stirs your soul. But it changed America not as the cowards had hoped. You see, their attacks inspired millions. to step forward instead and say Send me. In the book of Isaiah, Isaiah said, Here I am, Lord, send me.

And in the days and weeks that followed, millions of Americans said, Here we are, send. Us. And so we fought. Foreign wars. A generation of sacrifice.

of valor. Selfless. even if imperfect. Those conflicts were our retribution. And today on this site, we honor the 184 murdered at the Pentagon.

Warriors and civilians, officers and enlisted, moms and dads, brothers and sisters whose faces we saw, whose names were read. A flag for each surrounds this venue. We honor the survivors. We honor the first responders who ran toward the flames, heroic firefighters, police officers, and EMTs pulling out the wounded and the fallen out of the rubble and the toxic smoke. Warriors and civilians alike, they stared death in the eye and they did not blink.

September 11th, 2001, was one of the darkest days in American history, but evil did not get. The last word. It never has. And it never will. 25 years later, America is stronger than ever before, tall and proud.

All right, War Secretary Pete Hegseth this morning at the Pentagon service where President Trump was in attendance. And I want to bring back in my dear friend for many, many years, Robin Walinski, who was there one of the very first reporters to broadcast what was happening in Lower Manhattan. And Robin has agreed to stay on with us for the full hour of this portion of the show. Robin, real quick here, I appreciate Hegseth pointing out we are dealing with Islamic terrorism here, something that even George W. Bush goes out of his way not to say.

Yeah, it's sickening and it's a lie and we need to be telling the truth because the more we cover it up and the more we sweep it under the carpet, the cancer is going to spread. And that's where we are right now. We have this huge rise of radical Islam. And I will tell you, having been there that day twenty five years ago and having visited all the memorials, which we can talk about after your hard break, which is coming up here, Um I will say that if we don't teach the truth, about who caused this and why and how they got away with it. It's definitely going to happen again.

We are not fighting an army. We're fighting an ideology. Everywhere you look, The Muslim families, they're having eight to eleven kids each. I mean, you've got to look around and connect the dots for yourself. I know you talk about this a lot on your program, so your audience is really in the know.

But for people on the left who only watch CNN and MSNBC and ABC News, They don't know what's going on. They've never seen the video of the 24-7-365 over the last four years prior to Trump. Of the illegals coming in. Robin, hang tight. The hardbreak is upon us.

I love it when we have radio people as guests. Robin, don't go anywhere. Folks, 901-260-5926. Your memories of 9-11. That's 901-260-5926.

All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show. Great to have you with us. Coming up a little bit later, Wendy Patrick is going to be here, and Joe Messina out in California, Santa Clarita. Caleb Park, journalist and host of the Good Report with Caleb Park, will be here in just a little while.

But right now, we're honored to have my dear friend, a great journalist, Robin Walinski. She was there on 9-11 as the events were unfolding. And you know, Robin, you mentioned something earlier about schools and Fairfax County, Virginia, putting out a notice, a memorandum to every teacher telling them what they can and cannot talk about today. And one of the things they told teachers: you are not allowed to talk about Islam or Muslims today.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Memphis, Bartlett, At high school, they posted a bizarre. A 9-11 post yesterday saying that instead of commemorating 9-11, it would be a celebration of the 4th of July, Independence Day, which is just insane. The school district has now removed the post after parents complained. But to your point, Robin, they're not teaching kids what really happened on 9-11. No, they're not.

I mean, and this liberalism is a disease as far as I'm concerned. It's a mental illness. where these people cannot get their mind around the truth, that the truth is either too painful for them. And I let me tell you, besides the school systems, Todd, the mainstream media is a big culprit in this big lie. Um we had it right 25 years ago.

I wrote a charity book called Covering Catastrophe, Broadcast Journalists Report 9-1101. All the money went to charity, and you can get it on Amazon. And we did interview all the reporters in the field, but also news managers who were making split-second decisions when the T V tape, the r what's known as the raw video, unedited, was coming into newsrooms in New York and being sent out to the country. And they had to make split second decisions. Do you show people going out the window, yes or no?

And the decision and the moment was the correct one. Yes, show the video. This is what is happening. And this is what these radical Islamists, this is what jihad looks like. And the decision was right back then.

But where have you seen that video in twenty five years? Maybe you see it once a year on a history channel documentary if you're looking for it. And the truth about that is how we got into situations like October seventh. in Israel with Hamas. This is the same cast of characters of these thugs, radical Islamic thugs, committing jihad.

And um If you don't call it out, it it comes back to bite you. And that's why, as I said in the first segment, if we would have taken care of this huge Herculean problem when they tried to blow up and topple the towers back in nineteen ninety three, February, We would never have had a 9-11. And what concerns me the most, Todd. is that we, in my mind, are still sitting ducks. Has this administration, the second Trump administration, done a better job?

Yeah, we've closed the borders and walls work. Ask Israel about it. Um walls do work. And vetting does work. And you can't have people who we have no idea where they came from and what they're up to and what their intentions are running around.

And that's the thing. I'm kind of a people ask me about my voting record. My voting record, my top ten things that I care about when I go to Push Believer is homeland security. I don't care about any other issue. I am a singular voter.

Whoever is going to protect the country and keep nefarious actors out of here is who I vote for. Yeah, I'm with you on that. And again, we have got to, and I appreciate that they've closed the border. We've got to start ramping up these deportations, and especially when it comes to the Islamic radicals. You know, I don't know how many times over the years I've had members of Congress on the show, Robin, and they say it's not a matter of if, but when the attacks will happen on American soil because of these sleeper cells.

Well, my contention is if we know where the sleeper cells are, let's go and get them and get them the heck out of America. Yes, absolutely. One of the places that you and I both have friends, we're not going to name names who work in this line of work in the terrorist chatter Is always about planes and airports. And our airports, I've said this on the air on a couple of other shows today in the last couple of days. Our airports has tur been turned into the mall of America.

Or you walk in and get your coffee and your T-shirt and this, that and the other. And the Israelis have been telling us literally since the 1970s, check yourself at the curb. and lock down the actual physical part of the airport. And we haven't done it. And I think that we're sitting ducks.

And I'm very nervous when I walk in, when my Uber drops me off. at the door and I walk in until I'm past the gate. I'm kind of you know, I have complete anxiety because I realize that were literally sitting ducts in there. I think that, that's a target. Small airports as well, not just the big ones, not just New York and Atlanta and LA, but I'm talking about also the smaller airports can do a lot of damage.

Speaking of planes, The one place I encourage your listeners to go, besides the memorial at the Pentagon, besides nine eleven in the museum and the reflecting pools in New York, If you ever get the chance, go to Shanksville. You you walk away and you learn one thing. That the people on that plane looked out to the left and the right and knew they knew they were going to die. And they put down that plane and stormed the cockpit. in a place where there is literally nothing but fields.

I have visited it twice. I was there on the nine year anniversary with Laura Bush and former First Lady Michelle Obama. There was only a Liberty Bell there. There was no museum. I was there on the 20-year anniversary five years ago, it seems like yesterday.

There is an incredible moving museum and monument there. and you hear the tape, the audio tape. It's not it's not a myth. It's not a legend. You hear Todd Beemer say, let's roll.

And those four and those forty people, let me say this, those forty people did the American thing. They voted, strangers voting, they took a vote. You talk about exercising your rights as an American citizen. They knew that they were going to die, and that plane was heading to Washington, DC, to take off the lid of the Capitol. And they voted.

To Stormed the cockpit, and that plane went down fi upside down 500 miles an hour. into the earth. When you say ashes to ashes, dust to dust, That is the Shanksville site. It takes your breath away. That is the most untold story of 9-11 are the forty heroes.

That saved people on the ground. On the other side of that land is an elementary school. That plane was headed to DC to take the lid off the Capitol. it would have been absolutely horrendous. Robin, let me jump in here because I want to circle back to that in just a moment.

But I think we've also got to remember that, unfortunately, many of our elected leaders at the time Facilitated and have facilitated what I think is an Islamic and intentional Islamic invasion of our country. Here's President Bush just a few days, well, just a couple of days ago. He was sitting down for his 25-year reflections. And this is what was really concerning to President Bush at the time, CUT 52. I want you to talk about a couple of those events.

You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying to make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn't blame them for what had happened. I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace. Not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion.

Well, I would say that the Islamists would disagree with President Bush on that. Robin, there's one more piece of news that, again, they now say is make-believe that this never happened. But take a listen to Cut 49. We're going to show you from the West Bank. These are Palestinian celebrations in the wake of Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States.

How apparently Palestinians took to the street canning God is great. People were throwing candy, distributing candy to passersby. The U.S. government obviously has become increasingly unpopular, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, because Palestinians feel that the U.S. government has sided with Israel.

Okay, enough of that. Robin, it did happen. People were cheering. The Islamists were cheering all around the world. And again, when you look at the situation with Mamdami, the families did not want him there, not because he was a Muslim, but because he associated himself with people who believed that America deserved 9-11.

Okay. It it's insane. And and and George Bush, by the way, I was there at the twentieth. It was Kamala Harris and George Bush, the son, who headlined the Shanksville uh event. Commemoration, and he was a Muslim apologist there, too.

I mean, again, we're not talking about all Muslims, we're talking about radical Islamic terrorists who practice jihad. This is very different. You know, it's not all whites, not all blacks, not all Chinese. You know, we can't paint everyone with one stroke of a brush, but we are talking about people. Who are aligning themselves.

Look at this candidate, El Syed, in Michigan, who's running for Senate. That guy associating with Hassan Piker Who is an anti-Semite, the Holocaust didn't exist, or all the Jews deserve to die, all the Americans deserve to die. And it goes on and on. And you have young people who know nothing because they've never read about this in a textbook. And to my point, they don't see the video on TV even today.

Have you seen it on TV today? On any of the stations? I've been looking. CNN, Fox. let's see, what else?

MSNBC. I haven't seen any of the raw video from that day other than people running. I haven't seen people waving handkerchiefs or anything from the window, begging for help as the fuel is on fire. We're burying the truth, Todd. We're bury we've buried the people and we've buried the truth with them.

Mm. Robin, I've got about 60 seconds here. Final thoughts as we go through this 25th anniversary day, looking towards the future where we have the rise of political Islam in this country. Many cities and towns, you hear the Muslim calls to prayer. Our country is changing very, very rapidly.

And people there's a percentage of people that understand it very, very well, including the President, our current President, all the people who showed up in Dallas, Texas, for the GOP midterm convention in the last few days. I was kind of inspired by watching that because those people are getting it. But everybody needs to find a friend who's not educated and educate them very quickly because we are going to be taken over. I think about all of the people that are still suffering today from the cancer, people who are so sick that I know personally, journalists and photographers, Todd, that you and I know personally that are no longer with us. Because of the toxins of 9-11.

My thoughts today are with those people. Mm-hmm. Robin Wolinsky, a great American patriot. Our audience loves you, and we just appreciate the great work you did on that day twenty five years ago and the great work you continue to do now. Thank you for joining us today, Robin.

God bless you, Tud. Great lady, right there, and she is a ferocious warrior. And we love Robin here on this program. I would encourage you to go and check out her book on Amazon. And again, the proceeds go to charities, but it's a collection of journalists and their reflections of what happened on that day, covering catastrophe on that horrible, horrible day in New York City.

All right, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to open up the phone lines to you. 901-260-5926. You heard what Robin said. Do you share her concerns that we are on the verge of being taken over as a country? 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. You know, I was just thinking, Dylan, most of our crew, most of our team was not even born or were barely born. by by 9-11 when that happened. Yeah, both people in here, except for just me. I'm the only one.

Me and you, Todd. Wow. Yeah. We're the old fogies. I guess so.

I do feel old now. And think about Josh Jones. He was like one year old. When the attacks happened. What about Ben Dieter?

Ben Dieter, what, two years old? Two years old, yeah. Two years old. I was two years old, too. Little Dieter.

Yeah. You know what's interesting? People don't realize exactly how many folks were in the World Trade Center towers. on September 11th. They estimate about 17,400 people.

We're in the buildings. Which is fascinating because 87% of those people were able to escape out of the buildings once the airplanes hit. I mean, that's just really remarkable.

So, we're talking about 7,500 survivors in Tower 1 and 7,900 survivors in Tower 2.

So, they say, all total, they believe about 15,400 people escaped. From the buildings. That story. You don't hear much about that part of it. But really, the work of the first responders getting there and getting those people out of the buildings.

I hope when you drive by a fire station today, or maybe you see first responders, you will just say thank you for the work they do, putting their lives on the line. And for me, one of the more striking images. Was of a, it was taken on one of the stairwells. And maybe you've seen this, it's a black and white photo. And there's an an image of all these people coming down.

They're evacuating while the firefighters are coming up. And this young firefighter, he maybe was maybe twenty three, twenty four years old. And he looks, he just stares in the direction of the camera. And it's this. It's not fear, but it's a realization that this may not end well.

And we understand that individual lost his life on that day, that firefighter. Again, they went knowing. That they may not come out of those buildings. And that's really what today is about. remembering the sacrifice remembering that many, many people and we talked to one in the Memphis area who called into our local radio station this morning to talk about how it the what happened on that day led him to join the military.

And a lot of young men now in their thirties and forties Literally the next day, They were in college. They were in in high school. They went and they signed up for the military. It was very reminiscent of what happened once word came out that the Japanese had burnt had bombed Pearl Harbor. It was that sort of spirit in America.

But let me tell you something. the the policies of George W. Bush Who I believe to be a good man, but was not a good president because his policies. of bowing down And really worshiping the Islamist led to a full-blown invasion of this country, where now you have majority Muslim populations, you've got the call to prayer going out in major cities across the country, and that is only going to continue. And now we're waiting what?

It's a matter of if but when. That's what Congress tells us. All right, hang tight, everybody. Hour two of the big show coming up. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

From Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, it's America's conservative blowtorch. It's bad. I love Love is American. And ride. God stars.

All right, that is what's happening right now outside of City Hall in New York City. Where apparently protests are erupting and this Muslim guy chanting over and over again Allahu Akbar, which is, by the way, exactly what the terrorists chanted when they flew the jetliners into the buildings.

Now, we have this video over at ToddSterns.com. I'd encourage you to go and check this out. Just an unbelievable scene right now, right outside of City Hall in New York City. If you're not familiar with that area of lower Manhattan, you're just a block or two away from where the Twin Towers once stood.

So a very, very unsettling situation in New York City as this Muslim dude is out there chanting Allah Akbar.

Well, I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend. She is a Newsmax columnist, great attorney, Wendy Patrick. Wendy, hope you're doing well today. Thank you so much, Todd. Really watching all the covers, just like you and our viewers.

You know, I'm just curious, Wendy, as you do look back and reflect over those 25 years. There is still a lot of anger and frustration that, for example, Saudi Arabia has not been forced to pay up. I know that became an issue during one of the memorial speeches earlier today, but people are really frustrated, and especially with the rise of political Islam in the country. Yeah, you know, people are talking about 9-11 from so many different viewpoints. You know, sometimes the most endearing episodes of sharing that we're engaging in with our friends and our loved ones are the personal aspects.

And then when we are done talking about the personal aspects and reliving some of those days, especially ones that lived in lower Manhattan or had, you know, friends and family that were impacted, one thing I've been involved in recently from a legal perspective in my day job, one of the hats that I wear, is the fund that's being reset up based on the finding of all the documents regarding 9-11 health risks that we're just now finding out about. And this year is a little bit different in that it marks a seventh moment of silence, Todd, which is a specific observance, as you know, that is introduced to basically honor those people. Whether they were returning too early to the scene of the terrorist attack because they lived there, whether they were volunteering, whether they were first responders. The dust settled, the diagnoses began, but they never stopped. And it is true that you have several times the amount of people now that have died from 9-11 related illnesses that died on the day of.

And we're talking about that today as well. Yeah, I mean, we're talking, there are some numbers, what, around 9,000 people have died. And they were the ones who were actually enrolled in this World Trade Center health program. And a number of those, sadly, first responders and specifically members of the fire department there in New York City. The deadline is today.

If somebody that's in that category, a volunteer or a first responder, hasn't yet registered.

Now, that doesn't mean you need to be seen by a doctor and diagnosed today, but at least register. The fund, of course, runs for many years, but it's that first registration date that's important. One of the reasons I wish that Mayor Mondami had announced the finding of those now infamous 68 boxes a little earlier to get people in line to decide what they're going to do about it. But I understand there is an online portal which will continue to be added to.

So, as we remember the solemn day, it's also an opportunity if somebody is not yet enrolled to get that done if you fall into that category. Because you're right, Todd, it is also about so many people lost so much, not just the loss of life, but livelihood, health, wealth. And we can think of so many other things as we all sort of relive today together, those of us that were here and remember it. Wendy, I want to move on to the Republicans. Of course, we're in the throes of a big campaign, midterm elections coming, and of course, the last two days in Dallas, which I thought were really phenomenal.

I think the crowds were energetic. The speeches were spot on. The reality is, not many people were watching. The numbers show that even Fox News did not experience a large bump. And that tells me that this may be as great as it was, this may be a lost opportunity because of all the other things that were happening, Charlie Kirk's anniversary, 9-11, and of course NFL football games.

Cool. Todd, spot on, as always. I could not agree more on all of those points. Here's another thing I thought as I tried to catch the highlights. We work.

The kinds of people that turn out and vote Republican work. I understand Democrats work also, but you talk about the type of enthusiasm that you saw at the conference. I hope at the very least people watched the highlights, no matter what station they were watching, because it was all about energy and enthusiasm. The question and the challenge is: can we translate momentum into math? But I thought that the president speaking on both days, I know I watched the two-hour speech the first night.

It was a little more succinct the second night, but it was exciting and it was enthusiastic. And we have to remember what he kept saying: he is on the ballot.

Now, I don't know whether we're going to get those $5,000 checks. Maybe, Todd, you can let me know if you get yours in the mail, then maybe the rest of us have a chance. But it really was something to behold. And I think anytime you do something as a first, which this was, it has to have a positive impact in rejuvenating voters to go out and vote in what is just coming up so quickly. Less than two months, I know that mail-in ballots are already going out.

And I know even the president votes mail-in.

So whether there are restrictions or not, let's please make sure we get out there and vote. I want to play some audio. I thought J.D. Vance really just did a terrific job last night. Here he is on James Tallarico.

Let's take a listen to CUT 41, please. And in Texas, you have Democrats. Grown men. who seem to be pretty obsessed with trans children. I gotta say, the president's very good at nicknames, but Talafrico, maybe, tops the list.

What? This Tallarico guy, he will not shut up. about how there are six genders. He will not shut up about how, quote, God is non-binary. I don't know what the hell that even means, my friends.

He won't shut up about having traditional Christian values makes you a bigot. And I gotta say, a guy that age. Who is so obsessed and focused on transgender children? I don't know about you, but I never want to see that guy's web browser history. It's not a good place.

We'd rather be here. Oh my word, Wendy. Look, um I think he's doing a great job of illustrating the bizarre weirdness of the Democrats and their candidates. You know, it's true. You know, my PhD is in theology, and the God of the Bible is a he.

There's no six genders. He's not non-binary. But regarding the statements that the vice president was making about other candidates, you know, President Trump pulls that off a lot differently and perhaps better. I hate to say that because I don't like to hear anybody calling anybody a name. But it's hard to hear it from J.D.

Vance because that's not his shtick. He's normally not in the business of name-calling or talking about other candidates. And one of the, I do understand we were in Texas and we have to talk about that race. But in terms of midterm turnout, I think a lot of voters paid more attention and placed more value on the things the vice president said that were more consistent with his vision for America under Republican leadership all across the board. Because it may be a closer race in other states.

Remember, the president in his speech, one of the things he highlighted is that he intends to go to every one of those contested districts. Remember, he added maybe more than once. That seems to be a better focus, but I have to say, J.D. Vance has a very calming presence. He's very nice.

I really just hope that people in Texas do pay attention to the difference between the candidates. You see, I was paying attention to how much time they were focused on Tallarico. That tells me that whatever polling they're looking at does have Kim Paxton in a bit of trouble. And there are a lot of published polls out there that have Kim Paxton trailing. But the emphasis on Tallarico tells me that they've got a challenge there in Texas, which could be a problem, especially when you've got the Democrat candidate surging in Iowa.

We could be watching the Republican majority in the Senate be whittled down just a bit, and God forbid they could end up in the minority. It's true, and it's not just in Texas. And I've been watching those same polls that you have in Texas. And, you know, part of the problem, what we're reading, is that you don't have a squeaky, clean candidate on either side in some of these races. Wouldn't it be great, Todd, if people that ran for office just absolutely had nothing in their background that was even controversial, much less even semi-scandalous?

But so many candidates have done a lot of things in their past. I'll tell you what, one of Tallarico's problems is that he's not very good in rehabilitating himself, as we say in the courtroom. When you're impeaching a witness based on something he or she said in the past, they have to do a good job of explaining why they said it and why their views are different today.

Well, Tallarico has tried to do that, and I've watched all the footage because, as you can imagine, some of the things he's said deeply concern me. I'm not sure whether he's distanced himself sufficiently from his past statements.

So I've been watching with great interest. Why hasn't that resulted in more of a margin? I don't know whether the Texas voters don't know enough about both candidates. Candidates, whether they're watching maybe different polls. But I do agree, it was worthy of mention by everybody on that stage, specifically because that's where they held this convention.

All right, Wendy Patrick, we're going to leave it there. Always good to hear from you. Wendy, thank you for joining us this afternoon. Thank you, Todd. The great Wendy Patrick, be sure to follow her, Wendy Lynn Patrick, on Facebook and Wendy Lynn Patrick on Instagram.

And of course, you can always read her work over at Newsmax. Oh, I've got to play this audio. This is JD Vance. Mike dropping some moron who started waving a Mexican flag last night. Cut 42.

What the people at home missed. is that we just had a protester interrupting us and waving the Mexican flag.

Well Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there. I'll buy you the plane ticket. Wow, oh. A little uh a little fiat, a little spicy J.D. Max.

They started chanting USA.

Well done. All right, we've got to take a break. When we come back, Charles in North Carolina, Arnaz in Memphis, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

All right, welcome back. Let's get right to the phones. By the way, it is Open Line Friday. On top of all the other big stories we're covering today, 901-260-5926, whatever you would like to talk about, we'll talk about today. 901-260-5926.

Let's go to North Carolina, WSIC, our terrific affiliate there. Charles, what's on your mind? Hey, Todd, happy Friday to you. Todd, I don't know if you saw it this morning, but I was watching the service in New York City. Yeah.

There was a uh they were reading the names. of the the victims, you know, that had fallen that day. And while they were doing that, there was the. In in India on T V. It showed Zoran Mandami.

And AOC laughing is those names for being read. They're laughing and they're talking to each other. It's such disrespect to the families. And the families are sitting there crying as the names are being read. And when I saw that, It just It it just hit me that We are people.

You know, it used to say never forget.

Well, we have forgotten uh uh about 9-11 and this Islamification Is on full display right now. This red-green alliance, and that AOC and Zoran Mamdani is is proof positive of that. Did you happen to see that time?

Well, yes, we broadcast it and we talked about it in the last hour of the program, Charles, and it's very disgusting. Both of them, both AOC and Mamdomi, were laughing and cutting up and smiling. And what was so sad is there is there's a pool report.

So there's one video camera that covers all of the events. And so it segued from a poor man weeping over the names around one of the waterfalls there at what was once Ground Zero to the the two of them yucking it up. And it was it was just beyond disgusting. Yeah. And Todd, right here in Mooresville, North Carolina, this past week, I went to a a town hall hearing about the construction of a proposed mosque here.

There were hundreds of people there. a lot more than there were last month. But we're trying to get this permit of revoked that had been issued for the construction of this mosque. And I would say that there was about eighty, twenty Eighty percent people are against the Mosque, twenty percent were supporting it. But had some conversations, Todd.

I had a conversation with a guy named John Michael something. And he's an Iman of the largest mosque in North Carolina. And the hate he was spewing just talking to me but just blow people away. He was trying to deny that the the hijackers were yelling a la akbar as they were crashing those planes. He was trying to deny And saying that it was AI-generated October 7th, that that never happened.

He was trying to deny the Holocaust. And I was telling him. And to his face, that his religion is not a religion. It is a political movement disguised as a religion. And What I have to say is it In the name of religion and freedom of religion, if that requires you to suicide.

your nation and your culture. you are reading the Freedom of Religion calls wrong. You know, Christians, Jews, Buddhists. Hindus, they're not out here advocating for the murder of people that do not convert to their faith. But the Muslims and radical jihadists are.

And people have got to wake up, and we need to stick together and band together to. to prevent this. And I put out a post on Facebook Where I think we need 10,000 men from Iredale County. We're a county of about 150,000, 200,000 people. You get ten thousand men.

Uh to it gives some organizational structure. To stand up and try to do something because if our elected officials in this county and this town are not going to do anything to protect its citizens and its children, then it's gonna it's up to us to do it. Charles, keep me updated on that situation because it is, yeah, that's that. Look, this is a serious issue, and it's impacting every town, every community in America. And if it's not yet, it will.

So, folks, better wake up and understand the dangers that are lurking. And I know that the folks in Texas are dealing with the rise of political Islam there, and it will be coming to your town, folks. You better believe it. Charles, I've got to run, but thank you for calling in. Folks, this segment of the program brought to you by our friends at Newsmax.

Your calls as well. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Back in a minute. All right, welcome back, everybody.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. By the way, we have now posted the video of Mayor Mamdami and AOC laughing and giggling at today's 9-11 Memorial Service. You can see it for yourself, and you can see it within the context of they were literally the videographers going from one scene to another to another when they captured the mayor hamming it up with AOC. ToddSterns.com. I'd encourage you to go and check out the video right now over on our website.

Let's go to the phone lines real quick here. Andre in Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us on our flagship station. KWAM wants to win on the Lindsey Clancy case. Hi, Andre. What's on your mind today?

Hey, Todd, how are you doing today? I'm doing good. Thank you very much. I want to get your opinion of how you think the feminists and the liberals are going to react. when they find out that the long holdout juror is a black man.

Andre, I've been waiting for this call all day. Yeah, this is true. It turns out that the man, the one holdout, Who wanted to hold Lindsey Clancy accountable for killing her three children? Is in fact a black guy. I'm going to play some audio, Andre.

This all came out. On CBS Morning News, cut 47, please. I'm curious about the jurors themselves because we know it was nine women, three men. What was the age range? What was the racial makeup?

I haven't heard any of that. What was it? 70-ish to 22. And one person of color, and then everybody else. Was white.

A lot of the jurors had children. Uh-huh. One person of color was a person of color, a woman, or a man? A man. A man.

Is a holdout juror a person of uh a black man? Yes. A black man is a holdout juror? Yes. Well, I have to sit with that for just a second.

Andre, that's Gail King, Oprah's special friend. She didn't know what to say, Andre.

Now I know she didn't. Do you know what, Todd? I'm sixty five years old.

So I've been experiencing the the liberal white view when it comes to black people pretty much all my life. And this is going to infuriate them because with liberalism, and you're dealing with a black person, you don't think for yourself and you don't pick your own path. You think what we tell you to think and you act like we want you to act. And this is going to bring it to a head, my friend. Andre, I think you're onto something here.

And now within that context, because these women, these white woke women, were boasting about how they were heckling the guy and goading him and taunting him. They were all these white women were basically ganging up on the black dude. Uh-huh. Uhhuh. And what what what it had the potential of doing is waking up some black people to realize Liberals only for a black with you.

Do what we say, and you think like we think. I'm enjoying this one, my friend. I'm enjoying this. You know what? I had when I found out, I popped up some Orville Redenbacher and got a Dr.

Pepper Andre. All right, my friend, thank you for calling and thank you for listening to K-Wham. I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good buddy Joe Messina, nationally syndicated radio host out of Santa Clarita, California. Joe, I want to get back to the other big stories of the day, but you had this breaking news coming out that the lone holdout in the Lindsey Clancy case turned out to be a black guy.

Can you see all those MSNBC, ABC, DFG people just spinning around in the newsroom trying to figure out what they're going to do with this? And I love that long pause when she found out. I mean, they do that all the time. When they get hit with a truth log, they don't know what to do, do they? It really.

I mean, poor Gail King, Oprah's special friend, she had no idea what to do. No, totally lost because the narrative's already in your head. They've already got answers and questions lined up that they're going to ask me because they know that that had to be some white right wing white MAGA guy. It had to be. Oh, it had to be.

No, it was you know, it was Todd Starnzel, the jury. Oh, with his NRA ball cap on. There you go. I like it. Wow.

Well, anyway, that throws a wrench into the narrative, and we'll see how that plays out. But I think Andre had it right: you know, that the liberals only like black people when they do what they're told to do. And that's that, as they say. Uh Joe, of course, today, 25 years. Since the Muslims flew jetliners into the buildings, Mayor Zomram Mamdami laughing and giggling at the memorial today.

And a lot of folks just really, really upset over the rise of Islam in this country. What's your takeaway on this 25th anniversary?

Well, look, I went to an event this morning. I don't want to say commemorating, but remembering those who gave their lives, the first responders, the ones that simply went to work that day, all those innocent Americans that were working to make their family lives better. And the sad part about it is I was at a school, a lot of young kids, not that they didn't have a clue, they didn't understand truly what had taken place.

So it was a great event to get that information up. But for me personally, I remember when it went down. And even today, watching a five-minute video of what took place and listening to the radio calls back and forth, Todd, I started crying. I started crying because, you know, look at the innocents, the innocent people that were killed. And as far as I'm concerned, watching what's happening today in New York and other places, we've learned nothing.

We've done nothing to protect our people. We like to say we did, but in my estimation, watching what's happening and what's being allowed to happen, we've done nothing. And I'm fearful for some of these major cities across the country.

Well, I am too. And we had Robin Walinski on the first for the full hour of the first hour of the show. And she was there. She's a reporter covering 9-11. She thinks like you and I think.

And she says that is her biggest thing when she goes and votes on Election Day. It's who's going to protect the homeland. And even though we have secured the borders, we've got a lot of dangerous people that are still in this country. The the those extremists, Islamists, whatever you want to call them, in these cities, in these different cities across the country. Isn't it interesting when Christian men show up and they show up in force and they show up in numbers, they're nowhere to be found, are they?

They've retreated into their homes or back under the rocks or back into their caves, whatever it is they're going to. We need to step forward again. We truly you know, we talk a good game sometimes, but God bless those bikers a few weeks back who showed up in Detroit. Where are all the Muslims then? Where were all those Brotherhood guys then?

We could change this, Todd, but we have to not be afraid to do it. We need to step up. We need to be, I'm not going to say violent, because that's not what I mean, but we do need to be more aggressive. We do need to be able to speak out more, or willing to speak out more, to protect our kids, to protect our country. The situation there in lower Manhattan is getting a little heated right now and breaking news as we cover some of the protests that are erupting.

And there are thousands of protesters that are showing up. There are Muslims chanting Allah Akbar outside City Hall in New York City, which is just a couple of blocks over from Ground Zero. Also, a New York City firefighter just unloaded on a pro-Palestinian activist. Believe it or not, wearing an Elmo costume. We're going to try to pull the audio of that.

But again, I think that. The American people are pissed off. And they're done. Joe, I think they're done with all of these Islamists.

Well, God bless, I hope you're right. When you hear them talking like that, the thing that bothers me also is we've heard them say, death to America. We have to rip down this this admin not the administration, but the government. Isn't that against the law, Todd? Am I missing something here?

I mean, isn't that considered treason or sedition? I mean, come up with the right word. I don't care. I'm not well educated. But I'm telling you, when you sit there and talk about tearing down this government, tearing down this country, I am sure it goes past freedom of speech.

No, at least in my mind, no question about it. Joe Messina joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today, and our telephone number 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I want to play some audio. This is back-to-back George Bush.

So if we could play cut 52 and then 53. I want you to talk about a couple of those events. You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying to make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn't blame them for what had happened. I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace. not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion.

That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil in war. When we think of Islam, we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world.

Billions of people. Find comfort. Install us. And peace. Is that how you see it?

Joe, I mean, is Islam a religion of peace or peaces? Yeah. Yeah. Look, I have said this on my show. I have had Muslims on my show, and I've called them out and said to them: Look, if you're truly the religion of peace, when you have these acts of violence, where is the group of you that will come out and say, That's not the God I believe in?

Where are they? Religion, I belong to. If you would do that, you would take guys like me. You would take our temperature down quite a bit when it comes to, you know, listening to what you're speaking and what you're saying.

So I have to believe that it has to be a religion of, I won't say of war, but definitely of violence at this point. At least that's what we're seeing, right? We don't see Christians, even those Christians that went to Detroit and some of the other cities, they were walking the streets with crosses. I don't know if you saw all of that. I didn't see any of them beat anybody up.

I didn't see any of them go after any of the maybe non-Christians there and start pounding on them. I didn't see that happen. I saw a group of Jews get together over in New York City, you know, come together. I didn't see them going to beat anybody up or hurt anybody.

So. If what I'm watching and what I'm seeing, not just on the Internet or and on T V and other places, is a reflection of your religion, then yes, you know, you're a religion of war. You are a religion of death and destruction.

Well, let's take a listen to Ilhan Omar. This is how she described what happened on 9-11, Cut 48. Because here's the truth. Here is the truth. Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second class citizen.

And frankly, I'm tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. Care was founded after 9-11. Because they recognize that some people did something. Boom, right there, stop.

So, some people did something. That's, you know, some people did something. What are you going to do? Oh my God. I can't drink enough to have that make sense.

I mean, ser in all seriousness, right? And for her to sit there and say that they've been treated like second class citizens, then don't act like it. Don't take the stuff from the country you left for a better life and institute that where you're at. Look. And I mean this, I'm sure there are a lot of good Muslim people out there that just want to live their lives.

Just like, you know, we have Christians that go to church, what, twice a year? I mean, we have some of those in every religious belief. But here's the deal: when you come into these neighborhoods and they turn into ghettos, and I'm going to call them ghettos, you know, you come in there, you rip them down. What do you expect us to think? Your actions are showing us what you believe.

And I'm going to make one distasteful comments here, and I hope you guys take it in context. You cannot tell your wife how much you love her as you're beating her.

Okay, doesn't work. It makes absolutely no sense. You can't move in these communities and talk about being second-class citizens and ripping those communities down to second and third-class levels. It doesn't work. No, it doesn't work.

It doesn't work. Joe, we're going to have to leave it there. We appreciate your great comments today. And again, JoeMessina.com, ladies and gentlemen, is the website, all things Joe Messina. And you can get information on how to listen to his great show as well.

That's joemessina.com. All right, Joe, my friend, have a great weekend. God bless, Todd. Be safe. All right.

901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Darryl in Kansas. Darrell, what station are you listening to?

Well, I'm listening out of Liberal, Kansas. I I don't remember the call letters or numbers, but it's the AM station out of Liberal Kansas.

Well, we're excited to have you calling in from Liberal, Kansas. Daryl, what's on your mind today?

Well, today's Remembrance Day, Todd. And I'll be honest with you, I work this way. And I'm thinking, you know, We still have enemies within America. And those enemies are in the Democrat Party. And You know, it's like holy cow.

You know, what are we going to do? Daryl, I think we've got a lot of people in this country, many of them elected to office, that don't have America's best interest at heart. And I think we're seeing that. And I think that's one of the reasons why people are very concerned when politicians are dismissive of what happened 25 years ago. Yeah, but Yeah, but for some of the stuff that's going on today in today's real world, I mean We have enemies in the Democrat Party.

I mean, what are we going to do?

Well, vote Republican, Daryl. That's one thing we can do. And I would encourage everybody to get out and vote. I know you guys have some pretty significant races there in the state of Kansas, and got to make sure that you get Republicans elected.

So, Daryl, my advice: get out and vote. My friend, we're going to have to leave it there. Thank you for listening to us, Daryl. You give us a call back: 901-260-5926. Hang tight.

We're going right to the phones. All right, it is Open Line Friday. We've got Joe in Liberal Kansas listening to us on the great KSCB radio. Hi, Joe. What's on your mind today?

I was just going to comment on the Mandami AOC. Laughter at the remembrance ceremony? Yes. What do you make of that? I think it's despicable.

But uh my comment N the New York voters. voted for that? And it reflects upon them? Joe, I guess you have to getting what they voted for. You're exactly right, Joe.

They're getting what they voted for. And so I'm sorry. I don't, well, I do feel sorry for a lot of the folks there that maybe live on Long Island. They're not in New York City proper, and they're probably, you know, they probably vote Republican. But if you're voting Democrat in New York City, Joe, to your point, you're.

You get what you vote for. Whether they were Democrat or Republican voters, if they voted for those people. It reflects upon them. And may God have mercy on them. Joe, well said, my friend.

A lot of common sense there in the heartland. Joe, thank you for calling in. Thank you for listening. And give us a holler back one of these days. KSCB, great affiliate out there.

Let's go to Memphis, Tennessee, and say hello to James, listening to us on K-Wham. Hi, James. What's on your mind? Todd. I heard something on TV last night, and I wanted to verify it with you because.

And I verified it with my grandchildren who are in high school and college. That I heard last night that the major networks own all the. Or a great majority of the footage of the whole event, as well as any analysis of the whole thing that went on. And we never get to see it be until the anniversary date. you know, today's date.

And I asked the kids, um If they were ever presented in high school or college, uh in any history classes and they haven't.

Now, I haven't heard that. I do believe, though, that they're not showing this in the schools. I have no doubt about that. Copyright is part of the story, but the networks generally, and I do remember this, after 9-11, the network head honchos got together and decided they were not going to show those planes flying into the buildings. They made that decision.

But there's a lot of other video and material out there that would not be covered under copyright, James. James, I hate to do this. The music means I've got to scoot out of here, but thank you for calling in. Hang tight, everybody. Hour three and your calls coming up next.

From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun toton, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. That's us! That's us! Right. I love this American Touch.

Stars. Oh, well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starns Radio Show. Great to have you with us. Today, 25 years since Muslims flew jetliners into buildings in New York City.

In Washington, D.C., at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania. They did so while chanting Allahu Akbar, and they did so in the name of the religion of peace. And today we are remembering. And let me just say that we're watching things unfold in Lower Manhattan where a guy by the name of Jake Lang has been holding a massive demonstration against the Muslims. Thousands of people are in the street.

Just moments ago, we had this audio from a guy chanting outside of City Hall, chanting Allahu Akbar, just a few blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood. America studies. All right, while that was going on, you've got a lot of Muslims out there and a New York City firefighter. Almost went to war with a guy dressed like Elmo waving a Palestinian flag. Dylan, I understand we had to clean this up a smidge.

Just a smidge. Just a smidge. All right, let's. You're going to hear the firefighter giving the Muslim a piece of his mind. No.

Palestine anti-American go back to fing Palestine. We don't want you here. And take finger no ballots. Take Madame Wiki and AOC and Hopeful and Lamore. They're all gonna fing.

You don't know what Good. That's right. I think we got the gist of it, though. It's yeah, tensions are a little high right now. And I think there are just thousands and thousands of people.

And keep in mind, many of the people who died. On 9-11, they lived in places like New Jersey, Staten Island, which is very conservative, Long Island, which is very conservative, Republican area. And they would commute in.

So you're dealing with a lot of conservatives that are just enraged right now over the way Zoron Mamdami has handled all of this. We've got the video right now on ToddStarnes.com. As a matter of fact, Mamdami is laughing and giggling with AOC at the memorial. Who does that? Mamdami should have known.

And by the way, this is all intentional. He went there to gloat. That's all he did. He went there to gloat. Otherwise, he would have condemned all of the people that he surrounded himself with, calling for the destruction of America, death to America, saying that America deserved 9-11.

You remove those cancerous people from your life. But instead he has elevated them. And that's why those people are upset. I mean, I do not blame them one bit. All right, let's go to the phone lines here, 901-260-5926.

It's Open Line Friday. Let's go to North Carolina. Kristen listening to us wants to weigh in on J.D. Vance's speech last night. Hi, Kristen.

What's up? Hi, Todd. It's so good to talk to you today. I will say it has been a super heavy week considering the anniversary of 9/11 and also of Charlie Kirk's assassination yesterday. My generation, Gen Z, we lost our Stephen.

He was martyred. But Someone who loved J.D. Vance was Charlie Kirk, and he championed him. And last night at the RNC, when J.D. made his speech, I knew exactly why Charlie Kirk was one of his biggest opponents.

Each time I hear the Vice President give a speech, I understand the excitement that he had for him. And personally, I really do look forward to his political future as a leader in the Republican Party. And I would love to see a Rubio Vance ticket. I don't know about you. I don't think JD is quite ready for the presidency, but I would love to see a Rubio Vance ticket.

I think it would be a terrific ticket. And I think Rubio has really demonstrated the chops he has to be the next president of the United States. And look, the good news here, Kristen, I think there's a good deep bench of possible Republican candidates. But a Rubio Vance ticket, that's a pretty exciting combo platter right there. Yes, I would totally agree.

And I can't help but wonder if they are going to push JD as the frontrunner, which only the Lord knows what's going to happen with that. But I would be happy to support him even if that were to happen. And I just really look forward to the Republican Party future. I think we're making some strides. I'm with you there, Krista, and I'm excited to hear your excitement about that.

And you're right, it has. it has really been a tough week. There's just a lot of heavy stuff going down. And the good news is that we have persevered. And again, I go back to the message in the golden age, that Trump saved America from a great darkness and evil.

And we've just got to make sure that after Trump leaves office that we are standing in the gap and we're fighting that darkness and that evil. Absolutely. As you just said, Todd, it's about fighting the darkness. And you and I, both as believers, know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the wickedness and against Satan, our ultimate enemy.

So may God put a warrior in office that's going to war against the dark forces. I love that. Kristen, what a great word on this Friday. Thank you so much for calling in and have a great weekend. I want to play this real quick from J.D.

Vance. We're going back to the phones, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is J.D. Vance last night at the Republican Midterm Convention.

CUP 43, please. Who aren't always sold. And I want to speak directly to them, not to the faithful. but to the people who are still making up their minds. The people on the margins.

the people who are still a little unsure who they're going to vote for.

Some people who love some of our policies but maybe don't agree with others. Young men. Many of whom felt inspired by Charlie Kirk. but are unhappy with some of what has happened in the wake of his death. Um And I want to speak directly to that group because I think Charlie is a great example.

Of how to disagree, but still participate in the work of saving this country. Charlie Charlie, ladies and gentlemen, was dedicated to this movement and this country. He loved. And I do mean loved the President of the United States. But In the eight months or so that we were in office before Charlie died, I talked to him a lot, almost every day.

and Charlie was still a free thinker with his own principles and views. He did not always agree with us. Let me just give you one example. Charlie hated war. Whether it was Europe or Africa, the Middle East, he didn't care, he just hated war.

That was his view.

Now, of course, there are people who love what we've done and people who don't. I'm not here to litigate the disagreements between Charlie and some of the people that he disagreed with. But what I'm asking you to do is do what Charlie did. Do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Don't Don't give the country over to a bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with us on a policy issue here or there.

Look, I'm not asking anybody. To agree with me on every single issue. I'm not asking anybody to agree on every single policy of the administration. What I am asking you to do is to recognize the contrast with the radicals and recognize the achievements of the last 18 months. We have done a lot, my friends, and we can do a lot more if we fight together.

Yeah, we can. And again, this is why I wrote The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. Honest to goodness. Folks, go buy this, buy two copies, and give it to somebody who's still undecided. As soon as they get past chapter one, they're going to be heading to the ballot box on election day.

That's how definitive this book is about the great successes of our president. All right, let's get back to the phones. 901-260-5926. Larry, Ocala, Florida, W-O-C-A. Hi, Larry.

What's on your mind? I think the only thing better than Vant Rubio would be maybe McCain Romney. Um You know, if you're talking swamp, baby, there's a swamp, you know. Wait, who's the s so you're saying Rubio and Vance are the swamp? Are you saying they're not?

Well, no, I'm asking you a question here.

So you made the comparison.

So you're comparing Rubio and J.D. Vance to Mitt Romney and John McCain. How do you make that leap? 'Cause they all done the same thing, nothing. What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by nothing?

Okay, so They protected pedophiles. They've not released any of the information. They've not prosecuted one Democrat. They repealed Obamacare forty three times. And until someone would sign it and then they wouldn't do it.

They passed a big, beautiful bill. They have done literally nothing. that a Republican stands for. And you gotta sit there and act like That they're doing what they promised in the campaign. They, I mean, literally, did not.

No new wars. We're at war. Look at the gas prices. The reality is If we was to make this country a little bit worse by voting Democrat, we might actually motivate people to stand up and some create some change that we need. All right, so who's your candidate, Larry?

Who do you support?

Well, here's the deal. My best candidate would be Thomas Massey.

However, voting for Libertarian, voting for Thomas Massey, voting for some other person third party like that, Solves no problem. We need to send a message to these Republicans. We are tired of being lied to and vote Democrats.

So that they get the message. Firing the Republicans at this point is way more important than any other thing. Republicans not listening to us is our problem. It's kinda like if you owned a home. And you had a security system, and you lived in a bad neighborhood, and you knew the crooks were going to break in your house.

So you've got a security system to try to prevent that from happening. The Republicans being the security system in this case, and the Democrats being the crooks. When the Republicans let the cooks in to steal from you, whose fault is it? Who would you blame? Larry, it's a rhetorical question, but go ahead and finish your thought.

Of course, you blame the Republicans.

Now, do you fire the. Too much of a pause there, Larry. You got to get to it. Yeah. I'm sorry, Larry.

Go ahead. Go ahead. Finish your thought. There's nothing funny about this. This is not a joke.

You're like Mundami laughing about 9-11. Larry, Larry, don't be an idiot.

Okay, please, please don't, please, please don't go down that path today. I'm really not in the mood. I'm nothing like Zoron Mamdami. Larry, you called into the program and you compared JD Vance to John McCain and Mitt Romney. That's not only laughable, it's ridiculous, Larry.

It really is.

So, I'm going to tell you what, Larry, we're going to let you go. We're going to let you cool down. And maybe next week you can call back into the show. But don't be trying to compare me to Zoron Mamdami. Give me a break.

And again, look, Larry is not wrong. The Republicans have done diddly and squat, and that's why they had to have a midterm convention. And now, Trump is trying to convince everybody to make this election cycle about him and not the do-nothing Republicans in Congress. I get that. But again, to come out here and somehow say that Marco Rubio and J.D.

Vance are like Romney McCain. Come on, let's get real. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

All right, let's get right to the phones here: 901-260-5926. Keith in The Woodlands, Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 9:20. Hi, Keith. What's on your mind? Hey, you know, I I guess what I'm Mm-hmm.

Whenever I hear people start to spew things out of emotion. And they haven't done any research they tend to be criticizing and using what the mainstream media is saying, which the past callers seem to be doing. Number one. Mm-hmm. They released the Epstein files after the Biden administration held it for years.

They were the Biden administration was trying to use it as the political platform. to um for law fair. We've had tax reform The one big beautiful bill. We've had the Trump accounts for miners. We've had the business and manufacturing relief.

We had Krypton Financial Regulation Genius Act. We've had the Lake and Riley act and law enforcement measures We've done fantastic at the border, which was a huge Part of the election. We've had interdiction policies About the wall. We've had energy permitting platform reform, I'm sorry, and the SPEEEN Act. In the Permit Act.

We've had federal spending rescissions. We've had public land access. Yeah, exactly.

So, Keith, to your point, the administration has done a lot.

Now, some of the big signature things have yet to be accomplished, but the point is, the president has been able to accomplish quite a bit. Whoops, did we lose Keith? Oh, we lost Keith. Keith, sorry about that, my friend. 901-260-5926.

Keith was on a roll there, but it's true. The president has accomplished quite a lot of. quite a bit in this country. This story out of Connecticut has really got me riled up here, folks. This is from Summers, Connecticut.

A guy by the name of Aaron Gaddis, he's the pastor of an apostolic church.

So he's a minister of the gospel. And he saw an ad, a help-wanted ad for the local school district. They were looking for an assistant principal.

So Pastor Geddes goes out and applies for the job. They do the interviews. He passes with flying colors, and they hired the guy to be the assistant principal at the high school there in Summers, Connecticut. And he was doing, by all accounts, a really good job as the assistant principal. But then videos began to surface, and they're not the kinds of videos you think would get somebody in trouble, but they got the pastor in trouble.

Those videos were sermons that he delivered from the pulpit of his local church. And these sermons covered issues like Sex and gender, and what the Bible has to say about these issues.

So, somebody got wind of this. They sent the videos to the school board. And now, all you know what is breaking loose in Summers, Connecticut.

So, what we can tell you is this: Pastor Geddes has been suspended. He's been removed from his job as the school board investigates. They've already held a closed-door meeting, and they put out a statement after this meeting. saying that they stand firmly committed to get this inclusiveness, tolerance and acceptance. But clearly, that does not apply to any Christians who might be employed by the school district.

So, anyway, the school says again, Pastor Geddes has been removed from his job. He will not be working at the high school until further notice.

So apparently, in Summers, Connecticut, you cannot work for the school system unless. you pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag.

Now, what does that tell you, ladies and gentlemen? Hopefully, Pastor Geddes is going to get himself a good religious liberty attorney and fight whatever is about to come his way, because it certainly looks as though the school district is going to permanently give this pastor the heave-ho. That is just unacceptable. And again, going back. To what I wrote about in the golden age, President Trump standing up and defending religious liberty in this country.

It's not a one-time deal. Every generation has to fight for freedom. And we're going to have to hope and pray that the good Christian people in Summers, Connecticut, rise up and put a stop to this nonsense. I mean, that's just crazy. that this guy could be out of a job simply for preaching a sermon.

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926 coming up. We're going to wrap things up this week with a little bit of good news. Our good friend Caleb Park joining us, journalist and host of the Good Report with Caleb Park. That's coming up in just a moment.

In the meantime, be sure to head over to our website and take full advantage of some free products we have: our newsletter, our app, and also our podcast. You're going to be able to get all three of those resources free of charge. All you have to do is go to ToddSterns.com. We'll be right back, everybody. All right, welcome back, everybody.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's go right away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend, the great journalist Caleb Park, host of the Good Report with Caleb Park. Caleb, I am shocked here. C-SPAN, of all the media outlets, C-SPAN actually posted the coverage of Zoran Mamdami and AOC laughing and giggling together at today's solemn memorial service.

By the way, we have that video up on our website, ToddSterns.com. Caleb, I got to tell you, I'm surprised they did that. But wow, what a bad look for the mayor. Yeah, Todd, I actually saw it on your website. That was the first place I was able to see it.

And it really is shocking. And, you know, it's interesting because Zoharan Mamdani is the first, the city's first Muslim mayor. He's also a millennial. He is one year younger than me. I was 10 when the towers fell.

And I remember that so well. And I think the shocking part, too, was you had families demanding that he not be there for the reading of the names. And then C-SPAN showing this footage of this man literally weeping and then panning over and showing him and AOC. Yucking it up, laughing. It's not a good look, especially for somebody that has just maligned.

and associated himself with some really troubling people. And uh yeah, that was really shocking to me too. The lack of awareness and the optics here. Again, I still think everything that he does is intentional, and I think he wanted to snub his nose, thumb his nose. At the 9-11 families, and they knew what he was going to do.

That's why they didn't want that guy there. And so now here we have the video evidence. Yeah, Todd, it does feel intentional because obviously, you know, he knew with all the headlines, the New York governor saying he should be there. He knew that he was going to be on camera the whole time and that people would be watching him, especially those families. It's just heartbreaking.

You know, we had a Gen Zer call in from North Carolina just a little while ago, and she was just making note of how heavy this week has been with the anniversary of 9-11, and of course, the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And Caleb, again over at ToddSterns.com, we have video. Of hundreds of students having a party to mock Charlie last night at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This is happening at university campuses all over the country. What do you make of that?

Todd, I think the most shocking thing about this is how mainstream it is. And you know, one of the girls that debated Charlie Kirk in a in YouTube videos on Jubilee She posted a video of herself doing an outfit change on TikTok with the audio of when he was shot and using that bullet sound to change for the outfit. And she said, This is how I mourn. A year ago, she said, You know, there should be, we should condemn all gun violence. It's shocking to see how much.

A year ago when Charlie was shot, how it seemed like we were going to have this unity, that people were going to come together. Yes, there were people celebrating, but it's shocking to see how mainstream it's become. I don't even know if it's just on the far left anymore in Gen Z. I think it's become something that people in the middle, that Gen Zers will be just kind of laugh about because it's like an internet meme. It's it's disgusting.

It's it's really sad. And I think that's why we have to share the stories like with 9-11 and with Charlie Kirk. You and I got a chance to, you know, you introduced me to Charlie Kirk years ago. I don't know if you remember that moment. It was at a Christian conference.

And I just remember thinking how tall he was and how ambitious he was, thinking like this kid is really going to go places. And just seeing, you know, throughout his career, I think reminding people like he was a real person and just how this impacts, you know, his kids are still going, still alive. His widow, you know, and there's people that are part of his organization. I think we need to be sharing stories and letting people know, you know, yes, we live in an internet age where people think that they can just say what they want from behind a keyboard, but it actually impacts people. And it's a disturbing trend that I think we've seen.

And I think we have to do something. about it and change it. The mainstream, like you said, that it's happening at a university and that people are posting these videos online and getting clicks and. You know It's weird too that social media is not cracking down on it. that people are able to celebrate it and just go on with their lives.

They're celebrating an assassination, a murder. That was very public, and I think it impacted us all in a very Uh Yeah. impactful way. Caleb Hart joining us on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. Caleb.

I know you have been following the Lindsey Clancy story, and the great irony of ironies. We now know a little bit more about that lone male juror, the guy I'm calling Chuck Norris, who. Who ended up doing the right thing? And here's Oprah talking about it on her podcast. Oprah talking to one of the woke feminists on the jury.

Take a listen. And the other thing that I would just be remiss. to not say is I I hope this never happens again. We know statistically it really will. It will.

I want us to have the same passion for people who don't look like Lindsay. who don't have her same access. Yeah. Damn it. Yeah.

Who don't have her same access, an education, her melanin, her privilege. There are women of color sitting around this country in prisons for this same thing that we've never heard of. And I just want to remind us to have the pink shirts and the energy for them as well.

So it turns out that one of the individuals. Was the black guy, the lone holdout joy, a black guy. And that just kind of flies in the face of the narrative here. And I want to play this audio. This is from CBS.

When Lindsey Clancy juror Paula Devlin spoke out, cut 47, please. I'm curious about the jurors themselves because we know it was nine women, three men. What was the age range? What was the racial makeup? I haven't heard any of that.

What was it? 70-ish to 22. And one person of color, and then everybody else. was white. Um A lot of the jurors had children.

Uh-huh. One person of color was a person of colour a woman or a man? A man. A man. Is a holdout juror a person of A black man?

Yes. A black man is a holdout juror? Yes. Well, I have to sit with that for just a second. Look, Caleb, Gail King literally turned white when she heard that news.

It's a bit of a poetic justice here, Todd, because it's like, for like, ever since the. The trial, this guy has been maligned. He was maligned by the defense, he was maligned in the mainstream media, and now all the jurors were coming out and speaking ill of him. And then she asked the question. And, you know, she went fishing and she got, she pulled something she really didn't want to pull.

And so I think, you know, it's, I have to sit with that. It's like Oh man, she really was not expecting that. And she's like, okay, well, which you know, which side do I pick now? Do I pick, uh, you know, do I pick my brother over here? Uh, do I stand with my brother, or uh, do I need to stand against him?

And and stand with the uh the dreaded you know, white liberal pink shirt ladies that they've been parading around for us to watch over the last couple of weeks and Yeah, I think this is. You know, ultimately, the race shouldn't matter. It should be the facts of the case. And ultimately, we need to remember the three children who were brutally murdered by their mother. And so, I think, of all the things, you know, this seems like a little bit of poetic justice, but ultimately.

We need justice for those kids. And the fact that they're talking about this is going to happen again. I think we've got bigger issues in this country, Todd, that this should not be normal. We should not be expecting mothers to kill their children. I think we have a huge issue in our country.

And I don't know what the answer is, but. We've got to do something about this. This is definitely not okay.

Well, no doubt a conundrum for Gail King over at CBS Oprah's special friend.

So we'll see how that plays out. Caleb Park joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. Caleb, we got to end on some sort of good news here. I'm just, I feel more depressed now that we've started the good news segment. Yes, well, I will say, you know, on the Charlie Kirk thing, you know, he did, you know, there's the dark side that people have been mocking him and stuff, but he also brought about a lot of people that shared that they got they came to salvation through his story.

And we had Bible sales go up and, you know, church attendance increased.

So I think there is some silver lining on that note. On another story that you guys can check out, I posted on my Facebook page. I don't know if you saw this. A United Airlines flight attendant named Monique, she went viral this week because a new mother was. Falling asleep on a flight, and her baby was about to fall off of her lap.

And Monique ran up, caught the baby, and took her away and said, You know, go back to sleep, get some much-needed rest, and I'll sit up here. And it's just an adorable photo of her holding the baby and just doing something. You know, flight attendants already do a lot, 30,000 feet above the land, but You know, here she is going above and beyond. And I think we need to celebrate people like her and just know that there is good in the world. This has been an incredibly heavy week with the Lindsey Clancy story, Charlie Kirk assassination, and 9-11.

And so if you're feeling heavy, it makes sense. Just want to share that with you guys and know that there is good. You know, look for the helpers. And I think one of the things that we all remember, Todd, from 9-11 was the days after when we united, when we became one nation under God. People were.

We're praying to God in ways that they had never before. They were stepping into churches. And so that's my hope, and that's my prayer. And, you know, Anytime there's things that look like It's not going well. There's always some good news, and there's always that perspective of.

What is God doing? What can you and I do to help out? And, you know, there's always good. Yeah. Caleb, we're going to have to leave it there, my friend.

Calebpark.com. Go check out all of his great work. Be sure to follow Caleb on all the social media platforms. He's all over the place and has great content every single day. Caleb, good to see you.

Have a great weekend. Thanks. You too, Todd. All right. Hang tight, everybody.

Got to take a break. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Welcome back. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

Let's go to the phone lines. Bartlesville, Oklahoma, KWON, great radio station. Keith on the line. Hi, Keith. What's on your mind today?

How you doing, Mr. Todd? I'm doing good. Thank you for asking, Keith. Oh, I was just thinking about things.

And you listen to the political things and everything that's going on in the world, and especially on this day at nine eleven, we really need to clean up the left BS that's going on here. And we need to get Tyler Robinson out there and I need to put my Rottwater in solitary confinement with the guy.

Okay. Oh, well, um that would be interesting. You know, he could be I mean, if he's convicted, he could get the death penalty there in Utah.

So that is on the table. Yeah, I lived out here in Utah for 40 years. I just moved to Bartlettville like a year ago. And these people in Utah, I cannot believe that they're playing these political games. I'm just saying put my Rottweiler in him for 24 hours and let's just see how he does.

And then literally, let him scream for a minute.

Well, look, here's the thing, Keith. I believe in due process.

So if you are convicted, you're found guilty, and you're in the slam rate. I don't necessarily have a problem with this because it would basically be saving the taxpayers' money. It costs a lot of money to house these prisoners.

So there you go. I mean, if the Rottweiler's up for it, I don't know. It's. Yeah, he'll do it for free. For free.

Nothing off the taxpayers' back.

Well, there you go. Keith, you see, that's very thoughtful of you. We'll pass the information along. I'm not sure they're going to go for it, but we'll see what they have to say. Keith, thank you for that call.

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. Look, I think that one of the ways that we can cut down on these killers. Is to make sure that they have very gruesome deaths. They need to be sent to the hereafter. Um and it needs to be very public.

That's how far we've come as a country, and we're really going to have to shock people back into reality because there's a lot of evil violence out there. Look, I want to end on a positive story here, and this is of all places from Nealon Stadium, that's the University of Tennessee, where the great Tennessee Vols play football. And earlier today, before the sun even rose over Knoxville, hundreds of ROT students and ROTC cadets. gathered inside the stadium. to run the stairs.

They've been doing this. It's an annual thing that the students do to honor the memory of those who lost their lives in the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and also. a way to memorialize what happened twenty-five years ago today. And so, members of the Army ROTC, Air Force, Marine Corps Reserves, as well as the University of Tennessee Police Department. um attended the stair climb.

And they heard stories about great heroes of that day. Like a a man by the name of Rick Roscorla. mister Roscorla was a decorated retired US Army colonel who was working at Morgan Stanley. The firm had over 3,000 employees in the World Trade Center complex. They were all told to stay put on that day.

but Roscorla ordered the evacuation of every single employee. Many lives were saved as a result of his actions, but mister Roscorla lost his life in the attack. He was last seen, according to eye witnesses, going up the stairs, singing songs, and keeping people's spirits as he got them out of the building. Are you ready for this, ladies and gentlemen? mister Rascorla, Was responsible, personally responsible, for getting 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees out of those buildings.

So today Those R O T C cadets heard the story. of what happened on that day. and the bravery and the sacrifice of mister Roscorla. Many climbed a hundred and ten flights of stairs this morning. Others climbed for sixty minutes in honor of the weight of the gear that New York City firefighters carried into the buildings.

And when the order came out, the cadets stood up and they filed out and they began running laps up and down. Nealan Stadium. It really was quite a remarkable scene. But again, God bless these young men, and God bless. The officers who were telling those stories, because ultimately, ladies and gentlemen, there was much sorrow.

To talk about on that day, but there were also many heroes and many acts of courage. And self-sacrifice that truly made America the greatest nation on the face of the earth. And that is what we remember on this 25th anniversary. of the Muslim terrorist attacks. of the United States of America.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a busy week. We're going to be right back at it on Monday. Enjoy your Friday. And whatever you do, be sure to go to church this weekend, America.
