From Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Star.

That's us. That's right. I love this America. You know, I I want to tell you something. And by the way, hello everybody.

This is Todd Starnes. Great to be back with you. I am highly caffeinated and favored, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, we we've really got a terrific show for you. And I'm telling you, we are we are hitting the ground running.

Tony Perkins is going to be here. Family Research Council Congresswoman Mary Miller is here, along with Robin Walinski, who was at the Trump rally in Georgia, in Dalton, Georgia, over the weekend. And we're also introducing you to a lady I met in California. Her name is Jenny Ray Larue, and she is the Republican nominee. For California's forty seventh congressional district, very good chance that she wins that election in spite of the redistricting efforts of Gavin Newsom.

So let me tell you why I'm in a in a great mood here. I was in California over the weekend, and I was the master of ceremonies at the annual celebration of justice sponsored by the Pacific Justice Institute. Had about a thousand people. People, everybody's in tuxedos and ball gowns, and just having a good old time and raising a lot of money for Pacific Justice Institute as they fight for freedom around the nation.

So, just a wonderful event there in Anaheim, California. Do you know that I? You know, if you've listened to the show, we have a lot of folks calling in, and folks are a little demoralized, and and I get that, and we've been through that. I don't want to rehash that right now, but there's a lot of angst out there, and a lot of anxiety, and a lot of it is actually coming from the Republican Party. And I've been a pretty hopeful person over these I don't know past several months now.

Dylan, have I not been in like a good mood? I've I'm not. Moaning and groaning and like, oh my, boohoo! We're we're gonna be uh, we're we're gonna lose to the communist. You've been pretty glass half full kind of guy recently.

Absolutely, well, and I I have to be. I I cannot allow my mind. To go into that that dark, dank place, I just can't do that. And and the reality of it is, we just there's no way I can believe that we are going to elect communists to the Congress. And let me just say this: I also don't want to even imagine, God forbid, the communists get a get a foothold in the in the Congress, and they get the majority.

And the next thing you know. I'm going to be picking cotton in the Mississippi Delta and living in some gulag, and I I can't imagine me doing that. First of all, I don't do well with manual labor, and picking cotton is hard work. I don't want to be a cotton picker. I'm just saying, so I can't allow my mind to go there.

But no, in all in in. In all seriousness, I really do believe that everybody is reading this midterm election the wrong way. I really do.

Now that does not dismiss the complaints and the concerns you have about Republicans at all, and we are going to have to deal with those. But now is not the time to do that. There will be a reckoning, and that time will come, but not right now. We've got to make sure that we get out and we do our jobs, and I. Will tell you that the voting turnout in Tennessee, especially, has been very, very strong.

Over thirty some odd thousand people just in the Memphis area have already cast early votes, which is over sixty percent more than the last midterm election.

So there's something going on. There's something in the air, and I can't tell you if those people are Republican or Democrat. But I I saw a lot of people that look like Republicans.

Well, no, that I know they weren't wearing any like you know signs or anything. They were like I don't they weren't wearing badges saying I'm a Republican, but they didn't have like magenta hair. I didn't see any tattoos or you know I didn't see any nose rings in the bunch. I didn't. They didn't smell.

I mean, honestly, I think everybody was fairly well bathed. They prop you know they had proper hygiene. As a matter of fact, I think a couple of people had just taken some clothes out of the dryer because I smelled Gain. You know the laundry detergent. I smell.

Oh, I am like, ooh, somebody smells like Gain. That's a good sign, Todd. Or they're so they're either Republican or very well disguised. Yeah, if you're because if you're downwind from a Democrat, you know it. Yeah, you're either going to get the body odor, the bo, or you're going to get the patchouli, or you're going to get the devil's lettuce.

No Subarus around you when you were out there. Didn't see a single Subaru. Not a single Subaru. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just a sign.

We don't we don't judge if you stick shift. Not on this program. That's not what we do here. We love America.

So anyway, all that to say, I'm feeling pretty good about this.

So I get to California, and I was prepared. I was prepared to see people like weeping and wailing, and dare I say, even gnashing of teeth. But ladies and gentlemen. I didn't see any of that, not at all. As a matter of fact, I saw hundreds and hundreds of conservatives in Southern California who are fired up and they're excited about voting.

I mean, I'm looking around here, and you know, looking around in Southern California, and let me tell you something: it's a cesspool. I mean, what they have done, what the Democrats have done to Los Angeles and San Francisco, it's, it's, it ought to be a crime. It is criminal what they have done to those once beautiful cities. But I think the people are waking up, and they're realizing. We've got to make some changes here.

So instead of doom and gloom, I found people that were very excited to be engaged in a fight to save the Golden State, and that really encouraged me. I actually left that entire event being encouraged and thinking, you know what? They may even have a shot at this in California. I mean, imagine that! Imagine Republicans winning in California.

I mean, it's a look; it's an uphill climb, but it was so exciting to see the enthusiasm. And I'm telling you, these Trump rallies are doing something. There, the the Trump rallies are exposing the lie in the media. You say, Tom, what do you mean by that? What do you, which lie are you talking?

I'm talking about this idea that the MAGA movement is over, that people have moved on past Donald Trump. That is simply not true. It's a lie. And folks, you cannot, you just cannot believe any of the stories coming out in the mainstream media. I warn You about this a month ago, and I told you, especially you're going to see every little cockroach coming up out of the White House, yammering about this and that, and Trump's a big meanie or whatever.

And sure enough, that's exactly what is happening.

So just don't believe any of it. You can read it; it makes for interesting reading, I guess. But folks, it is not the gospel truth, and you cannot. And look, some people said, "But Tom, what if it's true?" Well, how are we to know? The media lies so much, so much.

It's impossible to know when they're actually being truthful about something.

So, all that to say, in Wichita, there's a little community called Park City. It's right outside of Wichita. Very, a very nice area, from what I understand. And President Trump tonight, six o'clock Central Time, seven o'clock Eastern, is going to be leading another big rally. Do you realize that people already they they started showing up last night, hoping to be able to get a seat?

And we have video up on our social media feeds of just miles of traffic, people waiting just to get into the parking lot in Kansas, which they told us was a lost cause. That we were going to lose Kansas, we were going to lose Iowa, we're going to lose Georgia. We're going to lose Tennessee. No, we're not, and it's exciting. and And you have to understand the strategy here.

All right, this has nothing to do with because people think, oh my word, we're we're going to lose Kansas. Trump has to go to Wichita to save the save the Republicans, to pull Roger Marshall's fat out of the fire.

Well, the president may be doing that, but in doing so. The president is also illustrating that the base, the Republican base, is still strong. They are still fired up. They are in the fight, and they're getting out to vote.

Now, let me tell you something. All these polls out there, and I know that the folks over at CNN are really upset about all of this because they they've come to the conclusion now. I think just about everybody's come to the conclusion that the Republicans are refusing to answer the pollsters.

So in doing so, none of the polling data is actually authentic. And we saw that happen in previous elections because the Republican voters are saying, "Well, you may skew what I tell you, or I don't believe you. I don't believe the polls." And as a result, they don't take part in them.

So you really can't believe anything right now. All you can do—the only thing that you can control—is whether or not you get out and vote. I heard somebody describe it like this: It's like Noah's Ark. When you go and vote, you bring somebody with you, two by two. That's what they did, two by two.

Bring somebody with you, preferably they're registered to vote. But bring somebody along with you. That's what you can control. And look, if we do that, we're going to do so well on election day. I have absolutely no doubt about it.

So look, we're going to be taking your calls. I want to hear how things are going in your area. I know what early voting is. I believe in North Carolina as well, Georgia underway, Tennessee. Want to hear from you today?

And how are you feeling, folks? How are you feeling about the election? Do you have concerns? I want you to give us. Call.

I'm going to try to walk all of us through these through these days together because there's going to be a lot of misinformation and a lot of efforts by the left to demoralize you, and we're not going to let that happen on this on this radio program. All right, our telephone number nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. I want to go back in time for just a minute.

No, I look, there are going to be some challenges out there, no doubt about that. But I'm just telling you right now, this is not going to be some sort of a Republican bloodbath. I know that's what Carl Rove and George W. Bush and John Corn and all those guys are wanting. But at the end of the day, I think we're going to be we're going to do very, very well in the in the midterm elections.

Here's CNN. By the way, they're in panic mode. Cut number six. What do you think the polls may be missing? Do you think?

They're they're undersampling the kind of voter that Trump usually brings out, sort of non-engaged voters that that may not respond to a phone call from a pollster. We know that they don't respond respond to phone calls. We know that in the exit polling back in 2016, I say this publicly because I want people to hear this.

Now I teach at West Point. I cannot lie, cheat or steal. The cadets can't. I can't. I got 2016 wrong.

I believed in the exit polls. Trump voters walked away, refused to participate because they thought that it was against them. They thought that the polls were all biased, and that's what Republicans are being told right now. Don't believe the polls; they're not accurate.

Well, they may be. We're about to find out, but I'm still skeptical. In the end, Republicans are less likely to participate. They're less likely to believe the polls are happening. But I'm most interested in turnout.

In the end, and there are ways to measure it, and I'm not convinced that they're doing it. That they're polling how the electorate overall feels, and not polling the people actually going to participate. But in the end, who the hell cares? How do you get around that, though? That's why you have to do focus groups.

That's why you have to do one-on-one interviews. I can tell by looking at you if you're going to participate or not. And these are people who are counted in the polls, but I know they're not going to vote. Wow! They sit like this; their hands are folded, and they don't really care.

And they're looking down and looking around because they're not engaged. They're not involved, and turnout determines everything. And I ask the viewers. Pay attention to how they've asked the questions about turnout. It's not whether you say you are going to vote or not, because people lie.

How interested are you in the election? Number one. Number two is how often do you collect election news, political news, and number three, how often do you talk politics to your friends and neighbors? Those are three essential questions in determining turnout. And I hate to say this, but a lot of polls don't ask it.

Wow, that they're look they're in mourning. I mean, they're horrified by this news that Frank Luntz delivered to them. But he's absolutely right, and the Republicans are just not participating in in the polling data and the polling information.

So my question to you, as those of you who have been early voting, what are you hearing from the people that you're standing in line with? I've just noticed we're not seeing a lot of the magenta hair and all of that kind of stuff. But I'm just wondering, what is it that That people are talking about as they're waiting in line to vote, nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Our number that's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. I can tell you in Tennessee, we've had an interesting turn of events in the gubernatorial race, where Marsha Blackburn, who was at one point projected to, I don't know, win by fifty points.

It could be that this is a very competitive race now because of an independent by the name of David Hatley, Hatley, a multi-millionaire, dumping twelve million dollars of his own money into his independent run, and there are some indications. There's a new poll coming out today. That allegedly has him at about twenty-five points. If he's getting twenty-five percent of the vote, and the Democrat gets all the Democrat votes, that could be a very, very close race. Is it enough for Hatley to win?

No, but it is enough for him to be a spoiler.

Meanwhile, he's hosting these big events across the state, and hundreds of people are turning out and attending these events.

So we're going to be watching in Tennessee. Curious to know how things are going in Texas.

Well, all you fine folks. By the way, we will be there tomorrow at the big event sponsored by Patriot Talk Nine Twenty Collectors Firearms, four to seven o'clock, and we'll be doing a big book signing. Going to be speaking and looking forward to meeting and shaking hands with every single one of our Patriot Talk Nine Twenty listeners. And by the way, even if you don't buy a book, I want you to come by and say hello and shake my. I just want to say thank you for listening to the Todd Sterns Radio Show.

It's going to be exciting. We're expecting a big crowd tomorrow night. All right, hang tight, everybody. Got to take a break. Our telephone number again: nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

This is the Todd Stern Show. This is Jenny Garth from 90210MG. We spend a lot of time talking about our health, but sexual health should be part of that conversation too.

Oh, oh, All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stern's Radio Show. We're going to get to your calls in just a minute. If you're on hold, don't go anywhere. We'll get to you, so hang tight.

I want to go right away, though, to the Patriot Mobile NewsMaker line. Say hello to our good friend Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. Tony, we've been talking about these polls, and I've been telling our listeners and viewers, do not. Believe the polling data; they are the Republican voters are simply not talking to these pollsters. I know Speaker Mike Johnson was on your show just a few days ago, and pretty much said the the exact same thing.

What's your take on what we're seeing right now? Todd, I would say amen to what you said. First off, polls are a you know I think increasingly designed to shape the outcome, not give us an indication of what's happening. That said. You know, if you listen to the polls, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it does come to pass.

But it's designed to tie to discourage. And what the speaker said, he was on the program over the weekend, is that there are a lot of Republicans, increasingly, that conservatives that don't want to talk to pollsters because they don't trust them. I mean, don't you get tired of these? You know, marketing. Spam calls.

I mean, I hang up. I don't care who it is. I don't, you know, unless it's somebody I know. Either I don't answer, if they do get me to answer, I don't talk to them. Not to be rude, but I don't have time.

And I think a lot of people increasingly don't trust pollsters, and so they're not they're not responding to this.

So here's the bottom line: we have to turn out and vote, and that's what actually determines the outcome. You know, Tony. I mean, that's that's it in a nutshell. I mean, the party, the Republican Party, can only do so much. They can't force you to get out and to vote on election day.

and And I get it. I there there are so many very valid reasons to be upset with the party right now. To be upset with what did not get done with the war in Iran. I mean, I get it. But but those issues can be discussed at a later date.

We've got to make sure we don't allow the communist or political Islam to gain a larger foothold up on Capitol Hill. Agreed. I mean, look, there's a lot of things I'm not happy with, but here's how I look at it. Who do you want, kind of leading Congress? Do you want Mike Johnson or Hakeem Jeffries?

That's the bottom line. Whose policies are going to be more in alignment with what conservatives want? I can tell you, hands down, it's going to be Mike Johnson as the speaker, and I think he's done a remarkable job. Yeah, and these last two years, getting some things through. Remember, there's like 700 or more bills that died in the Senate or are sitting in the Senate that never went anywhere that the House passed.

So. I understand the frustration. I feel it every day as we work with Congress and work with the administration. But I also know that we need to keep we need to keep pushing, obviously advocating, and and and letting them know we're not happy. But At the same time, we which side do you want to work with?

We can't work with the other side.

So I think it's it's incumbent upon people to turn out and vote. And Todd, if I can, we have a resource available to help people vote. We can we'll do a a voter guide, a design for them based upon their polling district. We rank some of the candidates, and if they want that, all they have to do is text the word "vote" to six seven seven four two. That's vote.

To six seven seven forty two. I'll send you a link, and you get your personalized voter guide. It's so important that people turn out and vote. I love this, and and I and you're absolutely right. One of the things that's really frustrated me about this, and we're going to share that number again multiple times on the on the show.

One of the things that really frustrates me, Tony. I'm a conservative. I'm an evangelical Christian. I'm also loyal to my party, and so when we have you know the. These ferocious primaries.

I support the winner of that primary. They get my vote, and there have been a there have been a couple of times where I've had to cast my ballot for a moderate Republican because they won they won the primary battle. The bigger problem I have now is you are not seeing the establishment Republicans reciprocate when you've got John Cornyn and Karl Rove and former President Bush out there, for example, in Texas. You know, actively campaigning against the Republican nominee. Those kinds of things, I think, really bother the base of the party, and people get really frustrated.

And I get it. John Cornyn lost, and that was an ugly fight, but that's still no excuse to give any any leeway to James Talarico.

Well, I don't think they should be campaigning against or working against a candidate who obviously is going to be more in alignment with Republicans. Like Ken Paxton is going to be obviously. There's a there's a there's a lot going on in this election cycle that, unfortunately, has I think put a greater divide among conservative voters. I do think we have to to move forward, as you said. I can't.

You said a couple of times you had to vote for a a moderate Republican. I I can think of more than just a few times. In the early days, it seems like we were losing as conservatives all the time in a lot of these these competitions. But we kept going and we kept working. We didn't stop voting.

And that's the big thing, Todd. As we're talking about voting, we didn't stop. We kept. We were persistent. We kept showing up to the polls.

We kept working for candidates, and look where we are. We're in a much better place than we were twenty, twenty-five years ago. Yeah, I understand. The culture has shifted, but there's a lot of good things that are happening. There's.

It's kind of like the parable that Jesus tells of the wheat and the tares. In in that it is a description of the end time the the the weeds the the tear are more pronounced but so is the wheat the good and we're seeing that today and and we need to we need to not get preoccupied with the the weeds we need to focus on the wheat and continue to nurture that which which is good and that's not going to happen in the political realm if we don't vote. We're we're talking to Tony Perkins from Family Research Council, and by the way, if you'd like to get that personalized voter guide, all you need to do is text the word "vote" to six seven seven four two. That six seven seven four two, and you'll get a customized voter guide for your particular area, wherever you might be voting. Tony, I'm curious about about churches.

Are you are you seeing that more are getting involved? Engaging with with the culture this election cycle, I think it's mixed. I do think increasingly, as we see issues that are biblical, spiritual, moral issues that have been turned into political issues, the churches, you know. For a while, were stepping back, but they realize no, we have to address these issues. And it's quite interesting, Todd, that I think there's about eleven national candidates, you know, running for national office that are are preachers, pastors, are related to that field.

It's pretty interesting, and most of those are coming from the left. That the left now is fielding pastors trying to capture the faith community. Of course, they're they're using those who have kind of unorthodox teaching, certainly not biblical and not anchored in biblical truth. But I think that is actually bringing more churches into the process because they realize that these topics are being discussed at a national level from a A corrupted theological standpoint.

So it's kind of an invitation for more churches to get involved.

So I I think this is kind of a good trend that could boomerang on the left in that they're thinking they can use this to capture more vote, and it's going to bring more evangelicals and Bible believing Christians into the process to counter it. You know, Tony, I am curious if you guys have been getting calls at FRC. You know, maybe from voters who are confused, or like, oh well, you know, I am a Methodist, and you know, you've got Adam Hamilton and Kansas; he's a Methodist, or I am a Presbyterian, and James Talarico was allegedly a Presbyterian. What are you guys telling folks? Are voters a little confused?

You know, because these guys are claiming to be devout Christians.

Well, I mean, they hear that claim, but what we've been doing is just taking and dissecting the positions that they've taken. On Scripture, on human sexuality, on the sanctity of human life, and showing where Scripture actually, what Scripture actually says regarding those issues, and the orthodox position historically, and the biblical position on those issues.

So again, I think it could backfire on on the left that's trying to, you know, put these folks out here to confuse Christians. It's going to give us an opportunity to educate them and bring them more into the process when they realize these people are being deceptive. One of the things I really appreciate about you personally, Tony, and Family Research Council in general, you guys have. Have not moved the line. You know, you have you have stayed faithful to the cause, and it is easy to do in Washington.

You know, we've seen so many groups and people over the years that have been swayed by power and access to power, and yet you guys have really stayed true to the mission. Has that been a difficult thing for you guys to do? It is more difficult when you actually have in a Republican administration. It's easy to to be on the outside and and say things, hard things that need to be said. When it's Democrats, it's easier.

When it's Republicans, it's a little harder. But what gives us the credibility to call out Talarico and and Hamilton and others like that is because we've been saying the same thing to our own to the Republicans. We haven't changed our position on the sanctity of human life. We haven't changed our position on marriage. It's remained the same, and so it does give us credibility.

Makes it harder sometimes, but our role is not to be an appendage of the Republican Party or an, you know, add. Junk portion of an administration. It is to represent faith, family, and freedom from a biblical perspective in our nation's capital.

Well, I I personally am grateful for that. I know many others are as as well. Tony, we're going to leave it there. I know you're a busy guy. You've got a lot going on.

And again, I want to give out this information is called the Voter Guide. They will personalize it for your area. All you have to do is text the word "vote" to six seven seven four two. That six seven seven four two, and and you'll get all of that information. Tony, good good to hear from you, my friend.

Todd, always great to be on your program. Have a blessed week. All right, the great Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council. You know he's he's from Louisiana. A lot of people may not realize that, but they've got the family home, and he spends most of his time back home in Baton Rouge.

And that's what I love about Tony Perkins. He is not drawn into the power and all that kind of stuff in in DC. He has stayed true to the faith, and that is a very rare thing. And Our nation's capital. All right, here's what we're going to do.

We're going to go right to your phone calls. We do have to take a quick break. Right to the calls. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Our number.

That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. Wow, we have we have some Todd Stern show listeners in the crowd. They're waiting in line to get into the Trump rally in Wichita. And it is wall to wall people, as far as you can see.

Huge turnout there in Kansas for President Trump.

So give us a call, by the way. I know we have a lot of KQAM listeners that are out there. Our great affiliate in Wichita, nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Let's go to the phones. We will start our day in North Carolina, WSIC, ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only Miss Patty.

Hey, Miss Patty. Hey, listen. They're trying to suppress you. They're liars. I have a friend in Flint, Michigan.

His name is Jeff. I have a girlfriend, Lisa, in Edina, Minn. Minnesota. Tefoyer is giving Peggy Flanagan a run for her money. You know who's voting for Tefoyer?

The Independents.

So whatever they're telling you on TV, Tefoya can take that set of seats, Todd. Michelle Tefoya is that very well could be a flip for the Republicans there. She's run a really smart campaign in Minnesota. Yes. Todd, I'm telling you, my girlfriend Lisa, she got a job change from here.

She lives in Minneapolis. She doesn't like it. She really doesn't. But Tefoyer is really Tefoyer could win that seat. And I'm going to tell you about Michigan now.

My friend Jeff, he lives in Flint. It's not what it all seems to be. Mike Rogers, I'm telling you, who's going to vote for Mike Rogers? He's going to get the black vote, Todd. That certainly appears to be, and again, we've seen a lot of interviews.

So, I am not sure if those interviews will add up to a huge shift in voting demographics. But, but I think a lot of Black Americans understand exactly what these Islamists are all about.

Well, you know what Jeff told me. He said, "This is what they're saying: is that if the if the Muslims get in there, they're going to be on the back burner." Oh yes, you know what I am saying. Yeah, they know that if they go open borders, all this guess get guess who gets pushed aside? It's going to be the black people, Patty. I what I understand you did some door knocking in North Carolina.

How did that go? That Pretty good, I'm telling you. It's not as bad as it seems here, neither. You know, people are still a little. I mean, people forget in two years, Todd.

You know, people do forget. But I, I try to tell people, listen. He's taken. You cannot expect. Mr.

Trump, my, my, I love him. You cannot expect Donald Trump to do something in two years that they did for how many years? It's going to take a long time to undo what these people have done. Am I right? No.

Yeah. Look. Yes, you're absolutely right. But there are also some other issues.

So I'm not discounting anybody's. Anger or frustration, because that is real and it is it is deserved. The question is, do we do we deserve to to get communists in the Congress? And the answer to that question is no, we do not, and we cannot allow that to happen. We're not going to get.

I'm telling you, Todd. All right. When you I heard you this morning, you made me you made me so happy because I I'm on your side because I'm telling you it's not going to be bad. I think we're going to do okay. Yeah, I do too.

I do too, Patty. It's good to hear from you, and you be safe out there. Glad you're getting out and doing some door knocking. Let's go to Bartlett, Tennessee, David. Listening to us on KWAM, David.

What's on your mind?

Well, just two things, real quick. One, you know, I'm still worried about the democratically controlled areas and the machines and how they can manipulate them.

So I don't trust the polls. I don't trust. I mean anything until you know it all comes out. But but but the other thing that I don't know if I haven't heard anybody talk about is we are we have a lot of young people that's been brainwashed going through colleges. We have.

A lot of old-time Democrats that are still watching the same channels and not getting any new news. I'm not sure they even want it, but I was thinking that if we and there may be some ways to do this on social media, but I'm thinking instead of just getting the message out during election times. We need billboards or something that you know says socialism is stupid, and then maybe have a a website at the bottom of that that's simple that, or and then also, you know, just there's all kind of different slogans that we could try to use, but that needs to be twenty four seven. Every day, so that we can start to wake up those people that are only watching their media channels. And I mean, at least that's—I go through Arkansas every now and then, and they got these billboards from farmers or whatever, and says Jesus loves you, and and you know all that stuff.

And and I think that's great, but I think we need to think: how are we going to reach? The people that are still watching the same media, we can have all this information. But if all they're all they're getting is price of gasoline is high, you know Trump bad. If that's all they're getting. I think we need to talk.

Start talking about not just candidates, but you know, communism. Right.

Well, yeah. Look, and that is that is a long term effort. I love the idea of of memes and Instagram stuff and TikTok. I think we need to we need to mobilize an army of young conservative Gen Zers that can do that. But we also need to start educating kids in the classroom about what socialism and communism.

Really are that is the the bigger issue, David. I got a run. Hang tight, everybody. Hour two coming up next from Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi. It's America's conservative blowtorch.

That's love. That's right. I love is America.

Well, hello everybody. Welcome to hour two of the big show. Great to have you with us today. Write down our telephone number. You will need that if you plan on calling in to the program.

Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Well, there has been a lot of controversy up on Capitol Hill. Congresswoman.

Ilhan Omar facing the wrath of the Justice Department. No charges filed just yet, but a lot of a lot of scuttlebutt, a lot of chatter up on Capitol Hill. Even the White House weighing in. President Trump wondering where Ilhan Omar. And how she was able to report a net worth of thirty million dollars just a short time ago?

This is a very fair question to ask. I want to bring in our next guest. We're honored to have with us Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois, Congresswoman. I know you've been tweeting about this on on social media. I mean, it really is shocking what we're hearing about Elhan Omar.

Yes, and I think the American people will be gleeful if we can actually. Get her on something, and either have her arrested or denaturalized and deported. My office is actually next to her, so I ride the member elevator with her multiple times a day. I do pray for her soul, but I want justice. And you know, she came to our country because of the generosity of Americans, and all she does is trash our country.

And I believe we are going to see that she has. Taken advantage of the Americans' generosity in every way, and is involved in all kinds of illegal activity, including getting her brother here illegally by pretending to be his wife. It's it's just shocking, and all these years later, now finally the the Justice Department is is doing something about it. But the reality is, you either pledge allegiance to the United States of America or Somalia. You can't do it to both countries, and I think that's a big problem with a lot of folks coming out of the state of Minnesota, for example.

Well, I think we're gonna wonder why she and her her whole family and her father were ever allowed in here in the first place. For a while, I thought she was from a refugee camp, but I do believe that her family were high up in the corrupt regime in Somalia, and we should not be allowing those type of people here. But I, what I want, I thank you for having me on this program because I want to. Your listeners, Christians in America, you have to get some adrenaline running through your veins. This election coming up is so important, and I feel certain that your listeners are voting, going to the polls and voting.

But that is not enough. You've got to be a force multiplier in your church, in your neighborhood, at work, among your family, because what is on the ballot is going to determine the direction of our country. We are. A crossroads. The Democrat Party has been taken over by people that are either sympathetic, or they are socialist, communists, or Islamists, and it will completely restructure.

How our country operates. You know, I wanted to get to that. We just had Tony Perkins on in the last segment, and really issuing a call to action for every every Bible believing Christian in the country to get out and to vote on election day. And you know, Congressman, when over the weekend we saw those horrifying images coming out of places like France, where buildings and churches are burning, we don't want that here in America. And the reality is, if we're going to stop that.

We've got to do that. Coming up on November third. Absolutely, France is such a warning to us of unchecked migration and the lack of assimilation. Which that's what we have here. Islamists have gotten a foothold in our country.

I want to tell people it is not a religion; it is a form of government, which is incompatible with our form of government. And if you look at many of the countries in the Middle East, if not all, they were conquered by Islam. And if they weren't conquered, I guarantee you the women in those countries have been conquered, and we definitely do not want that here. We need to remind ourselves what happened under Joe Biden and the Democrats in four years. They opened the border up and allowed.

Probably up to twenty million people unvetted to come into the country. They traffic children. Our own government, under Joe Biden and the Democrats, traffic children. They lost over. Three hundred to five hundred thousand children.

They shut down our energy. They weaponized the government against the American people, against Catholics, against parents that showed up at school board meetings, against pro-lifers. We cannot allow this to happen. You know, Congresswoman, you have been at the forefront of this effort to really protect parents who may reject these child gender transitions that have been happening. There have been some horrifying stories out there, and you've been one of a handful of people on Capitol Hill willing to step up and say, "We've got to protect parental rights in this country." I do have a new bill, the Yaley Martinez Child Protection Act, which Senator Schmidt from Missouri is carrying in the Senate, also to put guardrails around child protection services, which is.

Run by the states, but they do get some federal money, which means we can put controls and guardrails around them. They cannot deem parents as abusers if they are refusing to transgender their children and. I've been on calls with parents that the moms and dads are openly weeping over their children being taken out of their home, out of their care, because they would not transgender their children. Horrifying! I can't believe this is happening in our country, and it's not just in blue states; it's all over the country, blue and red states.

Well, you've been out on the campaign trail, and I'm wondering. First of all, are you? I'm I'm feeling very good, and I'm I know I may be in the minority here, Congressman Miller, but I'm feeling pretty good about our chances of maintaining control of the House and the Senate. I'm just wondering what you are hearing out there on the campaign trail there in Illinois. Thank you.

I feel positive too. I think the polls are not accurate. I think they're being used to try to discourage people. People are roused up to go vote in my district. It's a dark red district.

People that are productive and have common sense they appreciate President Trump and the America First agenda. They know President Trump doesn't have a magic wand to instantly fix things, but he's taken bold steps to secure the border. Our energy going again to deregulate so that we can start our own mining for the first time since 1977. We're looking at building refineries so we can refine our own oil. The largest fertilizer plant in the world is being built in Louisiana.

He has stood up for the American family, like I mean, like we haven't had in a long time, but. You know, on day one, he declared, "There's two sexes, male and female. We are not going to put men and girls athletics and in the private spaces." He stands up for the American family and for religious freedom. Christians, people, please be force multipliers. It's not enough for you to go to the polls.

You've got to get the people in your realm of influence to go also. Yeah, about a month and a half ago, we started preparing our audience. We're like, folks, don't listen to the polling data. Don't listen to all the negative Nancy stories out there because they're meant. It's really propaganda meant to demoralize people and say, you know what?

What's the point of getting up and going to vote? No, you can't do that. We've got we have a lot writing on this, and like you just said, I am very concerned about the rise of communism in this country, and we've got to put a stop to that. Absolutely, and you know, when it comes to politics, it's it's all about numbers. And if we don't go out to vote and we lose the House, we are going to have someone instead of a God fearing Speaker like Mike Johnson.

We could have a communist God mocker like AOC being Speaker of the House, and we cannot let that happen. No, we can't.

Well, Congresswoman, we really appreciate you fighting the good fight. You've been one of the great conservative warriors up on Capitol Hill, and we're excited for your campaign. And we wish you nothing but great luck out there on the campaign trail. Thank you for having me, Todd. Keep up the great work.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. That's it. Amen. That'll that'll preach. That's a sermon right there, Congresswoman.

Good to see you, Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois, on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today, and I am feeling hopeful, very joyous.

So you're not going to look. No negative Nancy's on this program, none whatsoever. All right, our telephone number nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Let's get to the phone lines. Poor Gary has been holding on for a while.

W O C A. Gary, what's on your mind? No problem, holding, Todd, and thanks for taking the call. I do a lot of work while I'm listening to you and and on hold, so it's not a problem whatsoever. To touch on the the thing earlier before this this hour, into what your last the kinderstorm said was when Frank once mentioned the the real action comes from focus groups.

What he didn't say was is that how hard it is to get people that will listen and ask questions like he does. If I was invited to a focus group and NBC Affilia or NBC was doing it, I wouldn't go because it ends up that you end up being belittled, or the questions to you, you know, their their their mannerisms and how they ask the questions.

So any of the major media, if they wanted me to participate in a focus group, I wouldn't. But and it's hard because there's not that many people out there like Frank once that would do a focus group. And you would see legitimate numbers from it. My and I'm just going through this two things. And then I love listening to your comments.

The other thing is over the weekend. I wish someone would have asked Al Saeed if he will. Does he believe the characterization and what the U.S. did? With the Muslim Brotherhood designating them as global terrorists, if that's accurate, and he agrees with it, they always ask him about his family's affiliation, and he always dodges it or he knows nothing about it.

I would love to hear the question: Do you think that's the correct classification as a global terrorist? Gary, I think that's a terrific question, and you know, it's. I will tell you, I've just been in those situations as a reporter, and you sort of get locked in, and and sometimes you get tunnel vision, and you forget to ask a question. But that is a question that is that needs to be addressed, and we've really got to get to the bottom of line of his involvement and support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

So, just a, it's it's. A fair question you raise, Gary. Thank you for that call. Hey, folks, got to take a quick break here. We're going right back to the phone lines.

Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. So, Dylan, we were—I was in Anaheim, California, right around the corner from from Disneyland, and the event was held at the JW Marriott, which is you know a great hotel. And I would thought, you know what, I'm going to get up.

I'm going to get up early. And grab some breakfast and enjoy, and just enjoy a nice leisurely start to the day in California. Because you know you're on Central Time and it's Pacific Coast, so you know you get up early.

So I go downstairs to the, and they have me up on the the executive. I had a great suite, just a sweeping view of of the Disneyland Resort and all of that stuff. Really nice.

So I go down there thinking I was going to be the only person in the dining room. It was wall to wall screaming children. Oh no! Again, that's the worst. It's just.

What are they doing up so early?

Well, they want to go to Disneyland. I guess, and you know, the poor mom and dad—they were sleeping in the hotel. All of a sudden, you know, at six o'clock, they're like, "Mommy, mommy, I want to go see Mickey Mouse." The one vacation the kids wake you up for. Oh my word! Yeah.

So anyway, I didn't get breakfast, and so anyway, later I was, you know, and and it was packed.

So I thought I'll just order room service.

So I ordered a hamburger and a hamburger, and it came with French fries. And a Baptist Martini. Yep. And for you Lutherans out there in Iowa, that's a Diet Coke with a wedge of lemon.

So I, so that it shows, you know, the guy shows up, room service comes in. Do you know how much I had to pay for that hamburger? And it's just like a small hamburger. It's not a massive hamburger. It's like a small hamburger.

I was going to ask how much it was. Fifty eight dollars. Oh, fifty eight dollars. What did they put in that thing? Gold.

Gold for cheese? No, there was no cheese. No, that was it. Was a plain hamburger. Terrible, Todd.

Oh, and then they had the Heinz mayonnaise. You may as well put just Elmer's glue on your sandwich, and you'd have more flavor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very particular about your mayonnaise. I'm like, are you kidding me?

58 bucks for a hamburger? There was no Duke's mayonnaise. There was no Blue Plate mayonnaise. There was no Hellmann's. You may as well have gone to Disney World.

Spending that much money, unbelievable.

So, and then you got to leave a tip, so it's like sixty something bucks. I mean, yeah, the price you pay, highfalutin room service there with your unbelievable.

So, I was in a bad mood. Those kinds of things just put me in a bad mood. I don't blame you. That's the most expensive thing I've ever heard. Fifty eight dollars.

Should have gone to like In and Out or something. Seriously.

So the next morning, I so so so then I did go to breakfast, and the breakfast was like forty eight dollars for the buffet, and there was it was not it was like scram cold scrambled eggs, cold. That's the worst. And watery bacon. Wow. I I was, and there were no biscuits.

You had to do your own toast, and for forty eight bucks. I'm getting toast by God. They didn't have biscuits. Yeah. So it turns out it's adjacent to an outdoor mall, and at this outdoor mall, they actually had restaurants.

And I had no idea.

So there was this Cajun themed restaurant, and they were serving breakfast.

So I thought, well, this was the following day.

So I thought, all right, it can't be any worse.

So I go in there, have a great breakfast meal for under twenty bucks.

Well, there you go. That you just needed to go across the street, and they serve the iced tea in a mason jar. I'm like, all right. I'm giving you. I'm giving.

That is street cred. You would pay fifty dollars for that. That's that's something you would. I actually would have paid fifty bucks for that. Yeah, yeah.

Well, now you know.

Next time you go back, next time I go back, I'm staying somewhere else. I'm just saying, let's go to Cordova, Tennessee. OG Bill, listening to us on KWAM. Hi, OG Bill. What's going on?

Hey, God! Thanks for having me. It's been a while, and and you know everything's going on. I was calling because I was listening to Congressman Miller on that last segment, and it reminded me that I don't know many people know this, but there's a picture of Elton Omar. You can probably Google it and find it standing in a.

Kind of, kind of like on a mountain in Somalia, I am assuming. And she's got a, she's in military uniform, fourteen years old, wearing, uh, you know, again, military uniform and carrying a gun, a rifle, like an AK forty seven or something. And I am just thinking, this kind of reminds me of what's his name, Al Sayed, and his alleged ties to Bafalun Baptist Baptist. Muslim Brotherhood, and I just can't get past all that. I don't think these people.

I hate to say this this way. They don't belong in Congress. No, they don't, Bill, and I think they're enemy combatants. To be perfectly honest with you, and especially in the sense of using our money, stealing our money, and using that for nefarious purposes, I still want to understand how she came to be worth thirty million dollars. A refugee from Somalia—that's that's the big question I've got.

All right, OG Bill. Good to hear from you, sir. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number. This is the Todd Stern Show.

All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Happy to have you with us today. Also, very excited about tomorrow in Houston. We're going to be doing a big book signing event, and we'd love to have all of our friends in the Houston area joining us at Collectors Firearms and all.

The information is on Patriot Talk 920 dot com. That's the the website of the radio station. There's going to be free food and beverages. A number of Republican candidates are going to be there. We also understand the Gun Owners of America are going to be there.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

So a lot of and also a chance for you to win a brand new firearm.

So you're going to want to show up, even if you don't want to book. You know, everybody wants a gun, right?

So be sure to to check. That out again. That's tomorrow, four to seven at Collectors Firearms there in Houston, Texas, and then next week on the twenty seventh, which is the day before the big day, Dylan. The big day being your birthday. Yeah, that is correct.

Yes, it's a good day. It's it's a great day because I'm alive. I mean, you know, that's amen to that. It was a little dicey earlier this year.

So it's good to be it's good to be alive and kicking. But on the twenty seventh, we're going to be at W D U N Long Street Cafe. We're doing a huge book signing there. I'll be saying a few words. We're going to have a lot of fun.

We always have a lot of fun in Gainesville. The food is going to be great. The fellowship is spectacular. We're also broadcasting our show from their studios there on in on the square. It's the downtown studios of W D U N.

So. We would love for you to drop by and say hello during our national show. You know, the last time we did that, Dylan, we actually had like a studio audience. Oh, I remember. You brought people on from the audience to your show.

It was great. We had a guy.

So there was a guy. Who gave me? I love collecting kind of cool stuff. That's a little off off the beaten path. And what one of the guys brought a a blue plate special from Shoney's, and gave me the blue plate, and I was just I was honored.

And then the the lady came with the the quilt. She she quilted me like a whole quilt, and it's a good thing I drove instead of I. Otherwise, I was going to have to like pay out the wazoo for the luggage. True. You needed a whole other back for that.

The Cadillac was filled with gifts. I felt like I had gone to Christmas. Very generous folks. That's awesome.

So the guy, so you're gonna love this. The guy, Dylan, who gave me the Shoney's plate, told me he'd sent me a note and said he's not gonna be able to be there, but that he was disappointed because he's got the full Shoney's big boy. That's like I don't know, four feet tall. And I thought, is he gonna give me the Shoney's big boy? No, he's not.

No, that's way too generous. But he just wanted me to see it, so I thought that was pretty nice.

So anyway, all that to say, next week. Gainesville, Georgia. Really excited to be broadcasting the show from that beautiful part of the country, and we just love our friends at WDUN. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

I want to play some audio here. The WNBA. Facing some pretty severe backlash, you know they've got the finals going on, and I am not a big WMBA fan. A little bit too much testosterone on the court for my taste. Anyway, they've got the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries, and they're in the finals.

Was it Game Two of the finals? Both teams decided to leave the court before the singing of the national anthem, and many fans are wondering why. What's what's going on there? I mean, that's just insane. Cut number five.

These women are choosing to walk out, guys. Walk back into the locker rooms during the national anthem. This has got nothing to do. You have some players doing this that literally were on Team USA, and I just want to call out the hypocrisy here. I want to call out how these women in the WNBA cry, cry, cry so much.

They play victim. They get everything they want. They get what they desire. They attack fans. It's always a a victimized mindset when they've been given more than they.

Ever gotten, guys, and they all have the audacity to walk out during the national anthem. I have a huge problem with this because we've seen across sports, other sports, NFL. You don't really kneel or skip out on the national anthem, and it's like these women don't get questioned on it. They literally don't get you know, like it's swept right under the rug, and it's the most disrespectful thing to have fans and attendance, regardless of the respect, regardless of how you. Field, you should be in attendance, standing.

I'm not even saying you have to place your hand over your heart, but you all need to be standing in attendance. Literally, completely unacceptable. Yeah, it is unacceptable. But before the singer could say, "Oh, say, can you see?" Yeah, they were gone. They were out of there.

So apparently, these gals get triggered by Sophie Cunningham. Fans in general, and apparently Francis Conkey. We did check though, and this is where it gets interesting. There is a rule in the official WNBA handbook, and it requires players, coaches, and trainers to form a line while the Star Spangled Banner is performed.

So it seems that the WNBA is completely in violation of their own rules. Anyway, it's look. I don't. I don't think that league is going to last too terribly much longer. I.

I really don't. Let's go to the phones here. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Say hello to Chuck in Georgia. Hi, Chuck.

What's going on? I just wanted to to remind people of some quotes Hillary made. Email she made to Donna Barzilli. The DNC chair in 2016, if that blankety blank wins, we're all gonna hang from nooses. You better fix this blankety blank.

And on own, in 2005 earlier, she said most Democrat voters are just plain stupid and easy to manipulate. That's the easy part. And a guy named Norman. Mahone Thomas was a socialist. The Democrats have adopted our platform.

I don't need to run for president anymore. And Lenin, of course, said socialism is just the means to communism. And and people just don't realize. I mean, history history is very important. And down here in Cleveland, Georgia, where I live.

They sent Antifa people down here and gave poor warning. When they got down here, the good old boys were riding around with American flags on the back of the trucks, shotguns and rifles. They must have sent their most polite people down here because there wasn't a cop to be seen down here when they came here to speak their mind. God bless Cleveland, Georgia.

Well, God bless Cleveland and Georgia. Good people there. That's W R W H territory. Great radio station and our great affiliate there in Cleveland. Chuck, thank you for calling.

And it's a great point Chuck brings up. The kids these days—they don't know what socialism really is. I mean, they know what they've been told by their teachers, but in reality, they don't know. And they don't—they're not being taught that it has never worked. They haven't been taught about the atrocities committed under communism.

They're not being taught that, and there is a reason. There is a reason why that is nine zero one two six zero five nine two six our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. You know, we're watching these fires and the riots and the chaos in France over the weekend, and it is a terrible thing. I mean, it's just.

It's awful when you see some of the historic buildings that have been set on fire. CBS News categorized what we were seeing as a scuffle. It was just a scuffle. Then you had other news organizations say that these were students and they were protesting because of the lack of supplies in their schools. We we you.

Stuness. Oh, somebody called me Starness. By the way, in California, Dylan, is that French? Wee wee wee wee. A croissant, croissant, a croissant.

Thirty-eight dollars. A croissant. Just kidding. You're going Russian now. That's.

I know. It's.

Sorry, I'm working on my accent. Yeah, it's. They're a little off. A little off. But anyway.

What were we talking about? Oh, France.

So anyway, they're saying that the reason why the kids are protesting is they don't have enough school supplies.

So apparently they've run out of loose leaf, and as a result of that, that's even worse. They ran out of loose leaf paper, I guess, or maybe ink pens, number two pencils, and so as a result of that, the kids are like rampaging around and they're burning things down. Do you believe that? No, of course it's not true. Just like you can't say the national media will not tell you that that it's really the Islamists who are burning down France.

They won't ever tell you that, but that's what's happening here.

So, look, this is a terrible thing, and I know President Trump has been out there saying, "France, you got to get a handle on this." And yes, France does have to get a handle on this, but we got no part of this fight. And hear me on this. Hear me! I know we have a long and storied relationship with the French, but they made their Islamic bed, and now they got a lie in it, and it is going to be an ugly thing. I don't think France can be saved.

I think France is done. I really do.

When you see these people. And they're out there, and they're burning things down. They're fighting with the police. They're not scared of anybody. Do you realize there was one incident where there was an elderly French couple, and they're walking down whatever street.

They're attacked by the mob who ordered the elderly couple to disrobe. And then there are there they were standing in their underpants because the Muslim kids, the mob, had ordered them to disrobe. This is it's humiliating, humiliating. But but there's no reason for us to step in now. But let me say this: as bad as things are with Iran and whatever nuclear program they're thinking about developing.

It's even worse with France because, hear me on this: the French currently control the fourth largest nuclear arsenal in the world. And once France falls and the Islamists take over, the Islamists will then have access to the fourth largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. Do you understand how serious the situation is over there? I mean, it's a bad, bad situation. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six our telephone number.

That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Dylan, I got to tell you this story, and this is a weird one.

So, high school football team, and this is making national news. This is from Mesa, Arizona.

So, anyway, they're in the middle of the game, and if you played football or any kind of a sport, I know you're a baseball guy. You play baseball. But there was a quarterback, a high school quarterback, and the coach gave them the plays. The quarterback, the high school football quarterback, the teenager decided to disobey the head coach and call an audible and do his own play.

So after it was all over, the game was over. The coach called him into the side and gave him the what for, and then kicked him off the team.

So in response to that, many of the other team members have now quit the team as well, quit the squad as well, and we'll see how all this plays out. But the reality is, who does this kid think he is? Really, does he's he the kid thinks he's the head coach now? Is that what's going on? My one question would be: Did the play work?

I'm assuming that it didn't work. If he called an audible. And they just fumble. They like they completely didn't get anywhere yard wise. That would be I would be furious as the head coach.

So the teenager said that the coach told him you disrespected me, meaning the position, and he was immediately cut from the team. And the other players disagreed with the coaches, and those players were suspended for the rest of the season. Yeah, as far as I know, the only players, quarterbacks, that get to call audibles are like those veteran quarterbacks that know what they're doing. Like those guys are going to be good. You can trust those guys.

In high school, you're listening to the coach. Of course, you're not calling an audible. No, exactly. That's that's not your role. These kids these days, I'm telling you, they do not listen to anybody.

They think they they think they were, and you know that comes from mom and dad. Sure. Yeah, that's where that comes, and that's not going to fly in college. If he ever, if he's good enough to get to college in that level, that's not going to fly. He's trying to call an audible.

Especially if he's a freshman, like don't even try that. You are not. I'll try. He's lucky. That's that's all that happened to him.

Yeah, I am just. I am with the coach on this on this one.

Well, yeah. Anyway, yeah. What a crazy. When you hear that, you you see the interview, and you can tell exactly the attitude of this kid. I mean, that's yeah, it's pretty obvious.

Anyway, I tell you, our great uncle, our great uncle Chico, who was the winningest high school football coach in South Carolina history, Dylan, he was an old school coach, and let me tell you something: I'm not sure that kid would have been alive. I'm just gonna say the military program down there, exactly. That's how you should run it. That's like the Marines. Yep.

Dylan, here's another sports story for you. By the way, what a disaster! The Memphis Tigers just blown away by the Tulane Green Wave. Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Brutal.

We never win when we go to Tulane. But the Tennessee Vols did great. I mean, we kicked some butt. Yeah, congrats to you. We kicked some Bama butt.

A lot of the football titans of the SEC, the Big Ten, a lot of them fell this weekend. Sure did. Great games, great games. Marist Catholic High School, they have fired their head coach, who was quite frankly very successful. This all happening in Oregon.

It seems that the coach ran afoul of the Catholics. After a big victory, sixty-three to nothing. Wow! They had a big win over Cottage Grove High School. The game was actually called at halftime.

Oh my! Sixty-three to nothing. That's bad. That's how you know it's bad.

So the coach got fired because he called for an onside kick. You never know. I mean, you don't know. You come into, you know, you got to have time, and you come out. The other team's fired up and scores seventy on you.

My gosh, I wonder what the beef was. There had to be something more going on. They said that it violated the school's mission and values. And I'm thinking, what, what to lose? I mean, you're, you know, again, if you're if you're playing a game, you go out there and you give it your all.

And if it's, you know, if the other team is terrible. Then the other team is terrible. Yeah, I think it. I think it. Maybe it's the mercy that they're trying to show—the Catholic mercy.

Kicking an onside kick when you're up like sixty points—that is crazy. But unless you're fired over it, that's yeah. We got firing thing is crazy. They won the state championship in twenty twenty four. This year they're having a rough go.

They're three and three. He was probably mad. He was probably mad at the other team.

Something had to happen where he's kicking an onside kick.

Well, or he was trying to give the guys, you know, playing opportunities and playing skills, and you know, guys, let's try an onside kick. To practice the onside kick doesn't happen that much.

So I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, do you think the school did the right thing here by firing the coach? I think the coach was doing his job, which was winning the game. At all costs, by a lot, by a lot, sixty-three to nothing at halftime. Jason Lou, all right, we got to take a quick break here. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

This is the Todd Stern Show. From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. That's us. That's right. Our love is American.

Todd Starz. Oh yeah.

Well, alright. Hello, everybody! Great to have you with us today. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Big, big, big crowd in Park City, Kansas, where President Trump is going to be holding a big rally later on this evening.

And a lot of our listeners, I understand, are in the crowd, which got there I think last night.

So people have been waiting overnight to make sure they got a good spot. And we are really excited about. What the president is going to say there in Kansas last week? President Trump was in Dalton, Georgia. That is very close to Chattanooga.

And our next guest was there covering the big event. Robin Walensky, a great journalist, joins us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Robin, what was that experience like for you? It was actually very emotional. Todd, great to be back with you.

I'm going to start at the end. When I left the event, I was so overwhelmed with emotion. Looking at the president, this would be the third rally I've been to in the last, I guess, however many years that he's been doing these. And I looked at him on stage, and here's this 80-year-old man, a millionaire, a billionaire, whatever he is. He doesn't need to be doing this.

And he is a one-man show. He's a one-man act, and he comes in, and he you know he gets off the helicopter, and he stands before the crowd with all the risk that's involved in that. Even though obviously you know there's Secret Service and the security is better than it's ever been, from my observations, and he almost takes that bow like he's on a Broadway stage. And it is all about him, and he is a one-man red, white, and blue warrior. And there is no one else out there that can rally people, especially independent voters who may be on the fence.

And I think it all goes back to one thing. After you know, interviewing so many people that I spoke to when I was there for six, seven hours myself, is that people. That go to these events love America and they love the Patriot in Chief. He's not just the Commander in Chief. He, in my mind, he's the Patriot in Chief, and he stands up there in the red, white, and blue.

And he may go on and on a little long in the speech. But when it's all over, he almost takes a bow at the end, and he does the little dance and the golf swing. But he stopped every couple of feet as he leaves the stage, as he leaves the red carpet, almost like a Broadway actor would take that bow at the end, you know. And it was very emotional for me because he will not be around forever. None of us will be around forever, Todd.

We only have today. And I was just overwhelmed with the American flags and what this country truly stands for, and 250 years and 25 years since 9/11. And I just walked away thinking we just cannot have another open border. And the people in this region of the country, in in Dalton, Georgia, they think of Lake and Riley, the nursing student at UGA in Athens, who was sexually assaulted and murdered by a Biden, Obama, Harris, Mayorkas, illegal alien. Do we want more of that, or we don't want more of that?

That's really what this election is about. You know, I am curious about the the folks who who showed up, and it's always about the folks. We, if you listen to the media, everybody is demoralized. MAGA is over. No more big rallies.

No more big crowds. Clearly, we've got the crowds. Clearly, they're still coming out. I am just wondering what the mood of the people, the folks, are. They couldn't have been happier.

It was Santa Claus coming down the chimney on Christmas Eve. I'm telling you, or Christmas morning, and they were opening their gifts. And their gift was to listen and watch and see the President of the United States. And a lot of these people had seen him before. There were people there from Tennessee.

There were people that drove from Florida. I spoke to a guy who flew in from Chicago to see him. It was very ethnically diverse. It was age diverse. There were people there in wheelchairs and walkers and canes.

There were little kids there, parents that had taken their children out of school. One mother told me, "My daughter is going to learn." Her her kid was probably around ten years old. She said, "My daughter is going to learn more today than she will in the classroom." And so I pulled her out of school for today, and I couldn't agree more. You know, watching the political process. As you and I know, is amazing.

And let me address the mainstream media. There were people there that I know from both local news and network news that you know as well. And I'm not going to name the names, but there's such a level of apathy from the photographers. The print, the the TV journalists, the some of the radio people, a lot of the on air personalities that that you see on the various channels, they're so apathetic towards this man, and that's where you're getting all the negativity. Oh God forbid they should have to wait an extra half an hour because there was traffic or whatever getting the president.

You know whatever the story was at Dobyns Air Force Base to get them there. Maybe they were doing an extra security sweep. You know you're inconveniencing them. They have forgotten. The mainstream media has forgotten its role.

Todd, we are storytellers. We are observers of history, and all they are is negative Nellies who are all liberals who all have severe cases of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome. That's really the bottom line, and it's. At stage four, it's incurable, and I I hate it for those people, but it is what it is. And look, we've been very happy and cheerful on this program because I just believe all of the polling data is wrong.

I don't believe Republicans are talking to the pollsters, the media. They've got an agenda, and that agenda is to demoralize people so they don't get out and vote. And so we've got to do our part here on this program to change minds and encourage. Everybody to get out and vote, Robin. You have been all about terrorism.

You believe that that national security is the number one issue. We saw what happened over the weekend in France, and this is the only thing standing between us and and that is Donald J. Trump. I mean, that's that's ultimately the reality here.

So we've got to make sure that he has he has Republicans in control of Congress. Yeah, no question about it. And let me say this: I don't think I don't consider myself a Republican. I consider myself a conservative. And I'm going to tell you that we still have a lot of rhinos, Republican in name only candidates, people that I'm not crazy about voting for, but I'm voting for it.

Because I'm never going to vote for a Democrat or a progressive or a liberal, but I'm telling you that some of these candidates get up there, not just in Georgia, but in other places. Obviously, the president in Kansas and doing a whole, you know, he'll be in Michigan again, Texas again. But my point is this: a lot of these Republican candidates are are problematic as well, and I don't think we put up our best people, and some of them are very weak. And they get up there and they speak at these rallies. And it's not a great performance.

They're keeping them short. It's like you know how you you know you compare an ex-girlfriend or an ex-husband, or you know you compare one president to the next. We as people, human nature, Todd. We compare. You know, look at the look at the White House press secretary.

We compared the new girl to the last one, and it was a disaster, right?

So you have these congressional candidates, these people running for governor. They get up there and they. Speak and they're weak because then the commander in chief comes in, Trump, and he cleans up the mess. And you almost forget about how weak these rhinos are. And you're like, okay, we have to vote for Trump's agenda, not so much for this candidate, but this person is going to be a vehicle to get the president's agenda accomplished.

That's really how I think a lot of people are viewing it, especially a lot of independent voters who can go either way. It's the old story: Are you better off now with this guy in than what we where we were with the Biden crew? Robin, I want to go to the phones. We've got a gentleman calling in, listening to us on WDUN there in Georgia. His he goes by the name Little Big Mouth.

Little Big Mouth, your your own, you are on the air with me and Robin. What say you?

Well, I, you know, you pretty much been nailing that today, and Robin, you just made a big contribution as well, and you know. Todd, I drive through Cleveland, Georgia, and I happen to do so on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

So we got Veterans Day coming up, okay? And I'm going to link this to the election.

So if you're still reluctant to vote, or you're not sure, or you want to vote for some independent or whatever that isn't going to win, you might as well drive by those. Cemetery markers, the monuments in the little towns, the war memorial monuments, or a military graveyard, and get out of your car and take a whiz on them, because that's what how much respect you have for those people who gave us. Who protected our God-given rights by sacrificing either their wounded or died in battle for this country? And like you just said, or the other, Robin just said, what's happening in France is going to be previews of coming attractions. This way, so from from you know from what's going on in France, it's going to happen here.

So what we need to do is stop making excuses. And make history, make history in this election by winning the midterms, contrary to all previous indicators. Yeah. God bless America. God bless you, little big mouth, Robin.

What do you think of? What do you think about that?

Well, first of all, I think he, little big mouth, beautifully stated where we're at, and I do agree with him. I drove through that area, and there's all sorts of you know American flags, and every intersection you come upon, it's a very rural area, but every every you know four way intersection there, out by the farms and the cows, have American flags. And all the Republican candidate signs were—I saw hundreds of them.

So there's a real spirit in the country to keep America old school, salute, put God back in the classroom, I pledge allegiance to the flag, and and to restore those values. And Trump stands for that too. You know, he's not only about the future, but for me, he's also about the past. And and I think we have to put up that major roadblock. I agree that the mainstream media is cheering again for the left.

They are misguided. They are misinformed. They despise Israel. They despise America. They do not understand the terrorism threat, and nine eleven is a distant memory for them.

And I'm telling you, Todd, you have to take every person you know and and call them and text them and elderly and get them to the polls because we have got to win this thing or our country is going down like France is going down. It is absolutely horrendous to watch what is going on in Paris.

Well said, Robin. Can we can can we take another call here? You go with that. Yeah, I'm good. All right, let's let's go to North Carolina, Joe, listening to us on WHKP.

Joe, you're on the air with me and Robin.

Well, hello there, LeBron stars. Pleasure to be on your front porch today, Robin. He calls me LeBron because I was going to self-identify to get the reparations check in San Francisco. Joe, Joe, you've got a great memory there. I've been listening to you for a long time, Todd.

Well, thank you very much for that, Joe. What's on your mind?

Well, I just thought I'd give you a little update. I just drove by our our polling station here a few minutes ago. I've not been able to stop in yet because I got my truck and trailer, but I want to vote early. But, anyways, the the parking lot is full. There's lines waiting to get in, and it looks like turnout's pretty heavy here for early voting in Hendersonville.

That is, I'm glad to hear that. And Robin, that had been one of the big questions. You know, will there be big turnout? I know we're seeing it here in Tennessee. It's like 60 percent increase over the last midterm election.

What say you?

Oh, in in Georgia, it's wild. I went to vote at the local library in Peachtree City the other day on the first day of voting. There were at least outside. Over fifty people in line. I like lost count.

I was like, "Oop! I don't have enough time for this." But I'm going to go today after we're done and check out another polling place. We are breaking records here in the state of Georgia. And what's interesting is, is that the mainstream media will only show you certain areas of the state. Yes, not you know what I'm saying that they they go to the most liberal, extreme liberal areas.

To show the voting, they don't go to any of the towns that lean center right. It's fascinating to see who's making these decisions. It's once again, Todd. It's always about the media, the imagery, and what they're putting out there. But we have to be—we have to outsmart these people.

Robin, I am so glad to have you on the show today. We'll get you back on soon. We got to leave it there. Robin, thank you. You're welcome.

Pardon me, had it got a little choked up there. We'll be right back. All right. Well, apparently Starbucks workers are going on strike. According to this report, they're boycotting stores and they're chanting "Free, Free Palestine." They're demanding higher wages.

Starbucks says its workers already average thirty dollars an hour in pay, and they get benefits. Plus, they get free college tuition for part-timers. Are you kidding me? What's that? That's a pretty good paycheck right there.

Thirty dollars an hour to what? Poor coffee that tastes burnt. I'm just telling you. Jeez, Lou, these kids these days. All right, this story out of Texas.

We're we're researching this. We're trying to get some more intel. There is a. A black conservative content creator, and she says that she was kicked out of a Ken Paxton event in San Antonio by Paxton's campaign manager. She said that it may have been a case of mistaken identity, and they thought that she was a Democrat protester when, in fact, she was a MAGA supporter.

We'll follow. We're going to follow up on that, and we'll. We'll let you know. We'll let you know what what the real deal there is. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.

That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Got to play this this report involving the NAACP, and now they're upset at people's Halloween decorations. Cut number four. My mind went back to what my ancestors went through, being hung from trees, with nooses around their neck. The homeowner, who did not want to go on camera, says he purchased a corpse kit online to create a creepy graveyard on his lawn.

It includes mannequins wrapped in black bags and hanging from a tree with tombstones below. The best thing you could do was take it down, like at least make the people clear it's connected to a painful history. Would hopefully be enough to. To help the homeowner make a voluntary action to to change it, didn't have the intent to offend people, but because it does, maybe he should change it. Approving for 2026.

The issue also made its way to a council meeting this week, where officials confirmed they had already approached the homeowner. Just so you know, our borough inspector did stop there and call, but we were unsuccessful.

Okay, when you say unsuccessful, he he feels our Halloween decorations, and he will take them down. And we don't have an ordinance against anything like. All right, so here's the deal. First of all, I am I am proud to tell you this did not happen in Alabama or Mississippi. This actually happened in Bristol, Pennsylvania.

A homeowner. Had a Halloween display in the front yard featuring five bodies hanging from a tree, and the NAACP is upset about all of that. You know, the whole point of Halloween is to offend people, right? They do know that. All right, hang tight.

Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Geezily, we'll be right back. All right, they're now saying it is a monster, monster crowd in Wichita, Kansas. Just thousands of people turning out to see President Trump. The big rally tonight, six o'clock Eastern, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

A lot of very excited patriots in the crowd. We're going to be posting some photos. We have some of our crew. There in Wichita for the rally today.

Well, over the weekend, I was honored to be master of ceremonies at the celebration of justice. That's the annual gala sponsored by Pacific Justice Institute. We are huge fans of the great work that Brad Dakison and his group do, and it's always a lot of fun. I want to give a special shout out to my good buddy Joe Messina, who is was a little under the weather this weekend, but he's on the road to recovery. Normally, I get to see him and his beautiful bride, but they were not there.

I did have an opportunity, though, to meet a lady who is running for Congress. She is the Republican nominee in California's forty seventh congressional district. And on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, we say hello to Jenny Ray Larue. Jenny Ray, good to have you with us today. Hi, Todd.

Good to be with you. We were in the 47th district this weekend, and it's the only 47th in the country. I think it's the lucky number this time around.

Well, let's let's hope so, Jenny Ray, because we've got a lot riding on this election. I'm wondering what the mood is of the voters out there in the 47th. California is such an interesting place, Todd, because in a lot of people are just frustrated with government in general, and I think the work that we're doing at CalDoGE on fraud is really highlighting this. They're mad that the government has been wasting their money. They don't feel like anybody is fighting for them, and they're so mad at California government.

They're also mad at the federal government at Congress not getting stuff done, and so it really creates an interesting situation for this election. My race will be. Very close. It's a a single digit race within the margin of error, and it will be one of the most competitive races in the country. I would say with a ton of conviction that the pathway to the majority goes through my district in California.

Well, yeah, there's no doubt about that, and and you know we're gonna we're gonna lose some good Republicans as a result of redistricting, but but I'm excited about your chances there in the the 47th. And you mentioned Cal Doze, which is something that. That you've spearheaded, and I am curious what you guys have found in your efforts to try to root out the the fraud and the waste and abuse there in California. Todd, I am a businesswoman and a mom. I'm not a politician.

In fact, I wasn't even thinking about running for Congress this year. But last year in 2025, when I watched what Doge was doing—the 60 billion dollars in cuts to USAID—I recognized that we were making a game-changing move to how we message and influence in foreign governments. We need to do the same thing in California. We have thousands. We estimate over.

Thirty thousand NGOs that receive government funding in California. They are a network that is anti-American, anti-California. They are anti-conservative, but they're specifically focused on building the world's largest phone tree for Get Out the Vote. When people talk about Issues that happened in California—you saw this in action when Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race on a Friday. By the next Tuesday, a guy that was polling fifth all of a sudden was in first.

That doesn't happen by accident. There's a machine that has been built with taxpayer dollars, and we found that kind of fraud, which is misappropriated funds—funds that were supposed to go toward education and water saving, and low income housing and homelessness. But we all Also, have found what I would call traditional fraud—the fraud that is just stealing from taxpayers outright. When you say that you're having kids in your house, we found 12 ghost daycares in San Diego County. Close those down.

Over 10 million dollars a year. We found 33 bodegas cheating the SNAP system in Los Angeles County. Close down their ability to accept SNAP benefits because they were using the money on lottery tickets and alcohol. We found homeless funding seven hundred and forty five million dollars unaccounted for. We bought buildings and then didn't put homeless people in them.

California has just been a case study for how you can destabilize the nation using taxpayer dollars, and that's why I decided to run for Congress because somebody has to stop it before it gets to California or it disappears into this giant black hole. I want to back up for just a minute. I want to make sure I heard that number correctly: seven hundred and forty five million. Dollars that is unaccounted for. Absolutely.

We have, in fact, we've only done four major investigations. We have over two thousand whistleblower reports that we're now tracking down in California. I call myself the priestess of fraud. Everywhere I go, people say, "I've got another one for you." Let me pull you aside and tell you about my my fraud problem. And and and we have so many of these things, but that's one of our four instances: seven hundred and forty five million dollars in homelessness funding, and the homelessness project.

Through Homekey and Lassa, a group that actually Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, was pulled in front of Congress or requested she did not go, but they they requested for her to come in front of Congress to account for it. It is it is a giant black hole. Just to say it again, of money in California that has gone to these NGOs with zero accountability, and those are federal funds. That's not our dollars in California. That's your dollars, America, coming into California.

This is why I want. Run for Congress to stop it. I was. I'm not sure people can truly understand how bad the homeless situation is there. I was.

I've spent the past couple of weeks in California, driving around a lot from Chino Hills all the way up to San Francisco, and it's just shocking. Entire streets and neighborhoods have just been taken over by people. And yeah, granted, there are some people who genuinely are homeless; they can't afford things. But we're by and large, we're Talking about drug addicts and a lot of riffraff out there. Todd, this is ultimately a question of whether we care about the law or not.

There's one investigation that we did. We found 928 million dollars that was supposed to go towards solar panels for affordable housing that actually went to a get out the vote network, violating IRS tax code. This is currently under investigation with the DOJ and the FBI. But we did the whistleblowing report on this.

Well, the block where this building is is. Surrounded by homeless encampments, you cannot even walk on the sidewalk anywhere. And we're 20 blocks off of Skid Row. It's just that all of Los Angeles is like this. And I went with a friend of mine.

We walked around the area, and we called the police. And we said, you know, hey, we'd really love for somebody to come over. And we asked them, why don't you do anything about it? They said, well, City Council told us not to. This is the exact problem that we're finding in California.

We're spending federal money. To solve homelessness because people are compassionate and they care and they know that it's a problem, but then it's getting stifled, wasted, and moved to the side for these other pet projects without any accountability. And it's it's not just funding; it's funding of a culture war. That's really what we have here. It's it's not just money; it's actually values that are being expressed through these issues.

And that's exactly why we need Congress to have bigger teeth and more muscle when it comes to saying. I'm sorry, you're not going to be able to do this anymore in California. Jenny Ray Larue is running for Congress from California's 47th congressional district. She is the Republican nominee in that race. Jenny Ray, I'm just curious, what what voters, what you're hearing from voters, and what is it going to take to get some of those?

Well, let's just start with the independents. What will it take to get independents to vote Republican this election cycle? Todd, really, we have a choice in front of the independence today. I put out a video that said Paris is burning, and Orange County is next. We had riots on Newport Beach, one of the most expensive stretches of real estate in the country, on the Fourth of July, and everybody here knows that it's at our doorstep.

If we don't continue on the safety and security pathway that we have, the antithesis of that is the rise of the DSA, and unfortunately, the embrace of the DSA inside. Democrat Party, and my opponent is no different. He has voted with the squad every step along the way. He's out of touch with the moderates in our county, and that's the question that we're asking them: what What future do you want? Do you want Paris, or do you want Orange County?

Because right now, we get to live here, but we don't get to keep it if we vote a different way. And that's the exact juxtaposition that these moderates are facing. By the way, we have a very unique cultural coalition in my district. We have a significant Persian group that is incredibly supportive of what we are doing right now as conservatives in the nation. We also have Jewish Democrats that say, "I'm sorry, I cannot vote the party, the Democrat Party that I've voted for for 40 years.

This party is no longer safe for us. There's an existential threat for our people." We have Hindu voters. We have a coalition of voters that makes up more than a quarter of our district that are traditionally swing voters that have moved our. Direction so that combined with California is too expensive and nobody has been fighting for us, especially here in the district, has created an opportunity for change. Again, it was always going to be a close election, but this one will go our way this time.

Thanks for having me on. All right, Jenny Ray Larue, and she is the Republican nominee for California's forty seventh. Dylan, when I was introduced her at the, we had a little VIP reception before the the gala, and I had a chance to meet her. And the first thing I said when she was introduced, I'm like, you've got to be from the South with a double name like that. And it turns out she was born right here in Memphis, Tennessee.

That's awesome.

Yeah, that's a very cool name. It is Jenny Ray. I mean, in in the South, most of the women have double names. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, your grandmother Esther Lynn.

I don't know of any like southern southern girl or woman who doesn't have a double name. Remember, well, remember Barney Fife's girlfriend, so Betty Lou. Yeah. Yep. There it is.

So it's.

So I'm sure there's some more clever names out there, but you've got if you're from the south, there's a pretty good chance you've got like a double for a double first name. Yeah, like Grace has to be the most common middle name I've seen for for for a girl. Yeah, absolutely. Everyone is something Grace. Yeah, exactly.

Margaret Grace or Mary Margaret. Ah, yeah.

So the Catholic, yeah, that's really the Italians. They got the they got the Mary Margaret combo platter, or Mary Catherine. Oh yeah, yeah.

So there you go. Endless possibilities there. Endless possibilities. All right, we've got to take a quick break here, folks. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

So there is an interesting story out of Michigan where Alyssa Slotkin, she is the the Democrat senator, and she was on one of the the TV shows. Talking about how she wants to punish people who are currently in the Trump administration, and the reason why she wants to punish people is so that other young people. Will think twice before taking a job with President Trump or any America first lawmakers. Cut two, please.

So that's what I'm saying. I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him. I want young people coming out of school to say, "Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity." I want them to be like, "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems." That I don't want, and so let me avoid participating in that.

I want that deterrence message sent. Yeah, so she's wanting a message sent that if you are a conservative, you will be punished. There will be a price to pay for working in the Trump administration. And by the way, this is nothing new. This has been going on for a very, very long time.

As a matter of fact, it was AOC who said that is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future. There was Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton speaking to CNN said maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.

Something needs to happen. There was also a congressional candidate in New York State who said a reeducation camp needs to happen. "Quote: I don't think we really want to call it that, but a reeducation camp." Congressman Tim Ryan, who was running for the Senate at the time from Ohio, said, "We've got to kill and confront that movement." Talking about Trump and the America First movement. There was also a Bernie Sanders staffer by the name of Martin Weiss Gerber. He said that MAGA MAGA supporters should be sent to re-education camps.

Kyle Jurek, an Iowa field organizer for Bernie Sanders, asked whether MAGA supporters could be re-educated. He answered, "I mean, we got to try. There's a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags, right?" And then Martin Weisgerber, identified as a Sanders field organizer in South Carolina, said, "What will help is when we send all the Republicans to the reeducation camps." So, ladies and gentlemen, when you have a sitting United States senator saying something like this, you need to believe these people. Because that's what they intend to do, and this is why we've got to root this out. Honestly, Senator Slotkin ought to be censured for what she said, and she ought to be removed from the Senate.

I mean, this is outrageous that we're sending anybody just because, again, she believes that someone like me should go to a gulag or a reeducation camp because I don't agree with her politics. I mean, do you realize how insane that sounds? And then they try to be dismissive of these comments. But, ladies and gentlemen, I've been chronicling all of these comments. I'm not going to let him get away with this.

This is not some sort of a slip of the tongue. It's not some sort of an oopsie moment. No, this is what these people truly believe. They want to put you in a re-education camp. And we're not going to let them do it.

I am just telling you, we're not going to let them do that.

Now you understand. I hope why the third of November is so vitally important. I would urge you get out early, vote, bring a friend, bring a neighbor, bring your family with you. But everybody, it's all hands on deck if we are going to save the republic, and that's the message going forward. And I am pretty excited, and I am bullish about it.

I can't wait to hear from the president tonight in Wichita. The president is working around the clock. I have never seen anybody work harder than that man. He doesn't have to do this, by the way. He doesn't have to.

He could be down playing golf every weekend, but he's not. He's out there on the campaign trail because he loves our country, and we appreciate the great work that President Trump is doing. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Christmas time right around the corner, and I want to urge you to get a copy of the Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. You're going to love this book. It's a beautiful book cover, kind of takes you back to the Art Deco world of the Roaring Twenties.

The book is a celebration of what Trump has accomplished, but it's also a call to action for all the rest of us. How do we carry on the America First movement into the next generation and into the next?

Well, the next years.

Well, I show you how to do that in the Golden Age. It is a fun and entertaining book, and it makes a wonderful Christmas present. Get yourself a copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, wherever you buy your books. All right, that music means I've got to scoot out of here. I am on the road tomorrow.

We'll be broadcasting from Houston, Texas. Going to be a lot of fun, folks. We'll see you at Collectors Firearms tomorrow, four o'clock. In Houston, Texas, be good, everybody.
