There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPMInvestments.com. That's LegacyPMInvestments.com. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.

That's us. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starnes. All right.

Well, hello, everybody. Happy primary day across America. Hope you guys are doing great. We have got a lot going on today. and we're going to be we're going to be paying very close attention to four primaries today we'll be giving you a blow-by-blow of what's going to be happening in Georgia Alabama Arkansas and Texas and of course the big the big story is coming out of Georgia where the mainstream media is crafting this narrative of its Trump versus Pence in the Georgia gubernatorial race so So we're going to be opening up the phone lines today for all of our great listeners, but especially our listeners in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas.

Have you gone to the polls? Have you cast your vote? Who are you supporting, and what are you seeing as far as crowds go? They're expecting a record turnout across the state of Georgia today, so we could be seeing some very big numbers. Yesterday on the program, we had our good friend Matt Towery on, one of the best pollsters in the country.

By the way, he's the guy that predicted Trump would win the 2016 presidential election when everybody else was laughing.

So Tauri knows his stuff, and Tauri says that there is a good chance this could end up in a runoff because David Perdue is making a last-minute push, and President Trump yesterday holding a tele-rally, and that generated a lot of response. President Trump also going after Brian Kemp and reminding people that because of Brian Kemp, we have Joe Biden in the White House right now. Because of Brian Kemp, the state of Georgia now has two Democrats in the Senate. I mean, that's just the reality of it. And that's what the president has been conveying to supporters of David Perdue in Georgia.

Last night, big rally, right, you would think, Vice President Mike Pence coming in, and the rally was hosted by Eric Erickson, who's a never-Trump radio host in the Atlanta area, and what a couple of hundred people turned out. Just a couple of hundred people. In contrast, the speech where yours truly, the pro-Trump talk radio host, There were about, what, 20,000, 25,000 people that showed up in Commerce, Georgia, a couple of months back for President Trump and David Perdue and Herschel Walker.

So anyway, we're going to be monitoring the stories coming out of Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, and Alabama, where you've got a lot of contested Republican races. And again, the media is saying, well, this is really testing President Trump and whether or not people are buying into the whole election was stolen story. I don't believe that to be the case here. I don't think this is a referendum on Donald Trump, what's happening in Georgia or Arkansas or anywhere else. The reality is that Donald Trump is, what, 80-something and three in his endorsement so far this political season.

I mean, if the guy was playing baseball, he would be the top baseball player in America. I mean, who wouldn't want those kinds of averages? But the reality is that Trump is the only candidate, the only national candidate, getting out there and taking a very public stand and endorsing these candidates.

Some are hits. A few, a tiny few, have been misses. And we'll see how this all plays out today in the state of Georgia. 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number.

That's 844-747-8868.

Now, there is a bit of breaking news coming from the border. And I want to share this information with you from Forbes magazine, which had the exclusive. And Forbes magazine now reporting that there was an assassination plot against George W. Bush. This information just coming out from Forbes, and it is very disturbing, the details of this attempted assassination of President Bush.

Now, our understanding is that you had an illegal alien, you had someone from al-Qaeda crossing the border illegally, trying to recruit other people to cross the border illegally. This is simply unacceptable in this country.

Now, keep in mind, the Biden administration, they have an open-door policy when it comes to our border, an open-door policy. In other words, they don't care who's coming across that border. They don't care. And if it's a terrorist that's going to kill a former president of the United States, they don't care. That's it.

They just don't care. The problem here is we don't know what else. We don't know what else these people are up to.

Now, according to Forbes magazine, and this is their exclusive story, the ISIS operative was literally in the United States plotting to kill President Bush. He was going to travel to Dallas in November. he actually traveled to Dallas in November he took video around President Bush's home and he recruited others that he hoped to smuggle into the country this is according to an FBI search warrant that was filed in March and that was just uncovered in federal court the FBI said it uncovered the scheme through the work of two confidential informants Had it not been for those confidential informants, there very well may have been a national day of mourning for former President Bush.

Now, according to Forbes magazine, the ISIS operative wanted to assassinate President Bush because he felt the former president was responsible for killing Iraqis and breaking apart the country after the invasion back in 2003. Folks, this is unbelievable, but it should not be surprising. How many times do we hear reports that were dismissed in the mainstream media, by the way? Reports that were poo-pooed. Reports that were laughed at about prayer rugs and Qurans and other Islamic materials being found littered on the desert floor along our border.

now my question is who else is in the country that we don't know about how many times have we said on this radio program you know what it's not so much the little mexican mommy and the daddy coming across the border trying to find a better life the problem i've got are all of these grown men that are coming across the border dressed in the finest clothing dressed in the in high dollar tennis shoes coming across our border sneaking into our country doing Lord knows what. Those are the people that I've got a problem with. And it's outrageous that something like this got to this point. But the good news is the FBI, at least in this case, was on the job. The Bush office releasing this statement, President Bush, and again, the story just breaking a few moments ago, President Bush has confidence, has all the confidence of the world in the United States Secret Service and our law enforcement and intelligence communities.

So there you have it, folks. Frightening. And the question is, what else is lurking out there? What else is already in our country plotting terrorist attacks? 844-747-8868.

That's our phone number. That's 844-747-8868.

All right, so a little story close to home that I wanted to share with you before we get crazy with politics through the rest of the show. Many of you know that I went to a private Christian university, a Lee University. It's in Cleveland, Tennessee. Beautiful campus, great school. And Lee University is affiliated with the Church of God, which is a Pentecostal denomination.

And they're in a world of trouble right now in the mainstream media. They are facing an alphabet people mob armed with torches and pitchforks, and it is ugly.

So the Associated Press leading the charge here, and this story is all over the place. It's just crazy. But in essence, the Christian university is under fire for following the beliefs of Christian theology. That's in a nutshell what the problem here is.

So someone leaked a copy of some sort of a policy that instructed the children at Lee University on how they should conduct themselves.

Now, Lee is a private school. It's not a public university. It's a private Christian school. And the policy would not allow students to identify as anything other than their biological sex. Students would also be forbidden from questioning restrictions like that or any other university policy.

And the alphabet people are just enraged over all of this. A university spokesperson told television station WTVC that the policy has been in the works for years and is in line with longstanding theological beliefs.

Now, the school, again, is part of the Church of God, a very conservative denomination, Christian denomination. The draft policy declares, and I want to see if you guys have any problem with this. Here's what their policy declares, that biological sex is binary, that humans do not have the ability or observed right to choose a gender. Quote, no member of the Lee University community may publicly identify or behave as a gender that does not correspond to his or her biological sex. Anybody got a problem with that?

No member of the Lee University community may promote or advocate in person, in writing or online, for sexual acts, behaviors, or lifestyles that are contrary to scripture. Anybody got a problem with that? The policy also forbids sex among unmarried heterosexuals. Anybody got a problem with that? Well, the LGBT crowd is enraged over this, and they're demanding that any federal funding the university receives be rescinded immediately, and they want the university to rescind its policies.

Well, I don't think they're going to do that, and I don't think they should, because in essence, this is really not about the policy. It's about what the university believes. And what the alphabet people are saying here is that we want the university to stop following the teachings of the Bible.

Now, look, this is the United States of America. You have every right under the Constitution to be offended at what this private Christian university is teaching. That's your right. But here's what I don't understand. Why would anyone attend Lee University that would have a problem with what they believe?

I mean, if you're sitting down and you're trying to figure out where to go, let's just say you're a Methodist. You're a Methodist and you decide, you know what, I'm going to go to a Catholic university. And at that Catholic university, and I'm just going to, don't judge me Catholics. I know we have a lot of Catholic listeners, but I'm not that well-versed in Catholic theology. But when I was growing up, the Catholics were not allowed to eat meat on Friday.

All right.

So what happens if the Methodist goes to a Catholic university and wants a big, juicy cheeseburger on Friday? And they say, no, we don't serve big, juicy cheeseburgers at our Catholic school on Friday because that's against our teachings. But you can have a Filet-O-Fish. And then the Methodist student gets enraged. Does that Methodist student have a right to demand that the Catholics change their teachings?

Or what about this? The Methodist goes to communion and finds out they're not serving grape juice, they're serving wine, and the Methodist student is enraged. How dare they? Does the Methodist student then have a right to go and tell the Catholics to change their beliefs? Because that's ultimately what this is about.

This is not an assault on a Christian university. This is an assault on the teachings of the Holy Bible.

Now, you have a right to disagree wholeheartedly with those beliefs, but do you have a right to tell this private Christian university what they can and they cannot believe? And this is going to become a big problem with a lot of evangelical Christian schools because they're going to come after your federal funding. by the way that's you know west coast baptist college which is a great great bible college get this they don't take a single penny not a single penny of federal money and you know what happens at graduation at west coast baptist college 100 let me repeat that again 100 grace what number did i just say 100 100 of the student body graduates with zero student debt Zero student debt. Grace Baker, what did I say? Zero student debt.

Zero student debt. How about that? How about them apples? But they're going to be coming after your federal funding here, folks.

So anyway, Lee University, to this point, is standing firm, and they're not backing down here. And they can't back down. But here's what I don't get. And again, this is why I think there's more to this than just the policies. This is about changing what they believe as a denomination.

Because if you've got a problem with the Mormons, don't go to Brigham Young University. Got a problem with the Church of Christ? Don't go to David Lipscomb University. Do you have a problem with the Baptists?

Well, don't go to Liberty University, even though they have beautiful studios for us. And if you've got a problem with the Church of God and their theology, don't go to Lee University. It's really that simple, ladies and gentlemen. It really is. But this is not about tolerance.

And that's the problem with the alphabet people. They don't believe in tolerance. And I don't want to paint with a broad brush. We always say, and I do want to qualify this because it's not every alphabet person. We're talking about a very small, radicalized group of people.

The average LGBT person just wants to live their life and be left alone. They want to embrace the American dream that is afforded them under the United States Constitution, by and large. But then you've got this radical group that's declaring war on everybody. And this group, by the way, controls most of Hollywood. And the small radical group controls, yes, I said controls, a good many conservative news outlets.

And that's why this is one of the only places that you're going to get a fair and balanced perspective here on these kinds of stories. Because I think even in the conservative media world, Lee University is going to get a raw deal here.

So anyway, I don't know where you stand on this, folks. I believe that a Christian university has every right to determine what the students can and cannot do. And if you've got a problem with that, guess what, America? There are thousands of public universities that are more than happy to embrace all of you people who are still trying to come to terms with your preferred pronouns. All right, got to take a break.

Or visit AmericanFinancing.net. NMLS 182334. NMLSConsumerAccess.org. Oh, I've got to tell you guys about this crazy story. This is probably my favorite story of the day.

First of all, welcome back to the Todd Starnes Radio Program. Always an honor to have you with us today.

So we have the video up on ToddStarnes.com, and you've got to watch this video. Grace Baker, have you seen this video? It's the best video of the year.

So we've been covering these smash and grab robberies all over America. These hooded thugs. There's been a lot of them. A lot of them.

Now, this particular incident happened in Huntington Beach, California, which is a fairly conservative part of California. Sure.

So you've got a locally owned jewelry store, and there are two stories here. But the first one is, and I'll just get this out of the way. You know, there's been a lot of talk in the mainstream media about Asian-American hate crimes. But you know what they don't talk about when they talk about Asian-American hate crimes? They don't talk about who's doing the hate.

And there's a reason for that. Because by and large, most of the Asian-American hate crimes are being perpetrated by another minority people group. Gotcha. I'm just going to leave that there. I don't want to get the hate mail on that one today.

We got plenty of other stuff to get hate mail on today. But anyway, this other minority demographic that shall go unnamed has a very bad history of targeting Asian Americans. And so whenever you hear these kinds of stories, you never hear the media. You never see the media describe the attackers. Crickets.

Chirping crickets.

So anyway, there was an incident at the Princess Bride jewelry store. Isn't that a great name? That's a great name. A great name for a jewelry store. And anyway, they're reminding their business.

Surveillance video captured what happened. You had four thugs. And I don't know how old they were. There may have been some thuglings in the mix, but I think most of them were adult thugs. Regardless.

And here on this program, we have thugs, thugettes, or lady thugs, and thuglings, which are juvenile thugs.

So anyway, they're hooded. I can't tell skin color. It was a little grainy for me. But anyway, the thugs and the thuglings come in armed with hammers. And what do they do, Grace Baker?

They immediately go for the glass cases where all the high-dollar jewelry is. Of course. And they're only able to smash one counter because, let's just say, the store owners went Jackie Chan. Hi-ya. Ho-ya-ha.

Yeah. It went Hong Kong phooey on the thugs. It was a sneak attack. I mean, and again, the thugs are armed with hammers. Yeah.

I mean. They didn't stand a chance. The owners, I mean, the guy, so there was a guy and two females.

So the guy immediately starts throwing punches. And I mean, he is nailing just boom. I'm watching this on repeat, and it's quite the spectacle. It's my popcorn. It's absolutely awesome.

And then there's a woman in high heels. Oh, I see the ponytail. And she is smacking. She's got the kicks going. The ponytail's flying around.

Knocked one of the guys down to the ground. And you know what? She's just beating the snot out of that guy. It's beautiful. She probably took her diamond ring and went boom.

I mean, she's kicking and just kicking and whacking. And then the owner comes up from behind and she's got one of those big high chairs. She's got the high chair and it's got one of those big metal bases. And she's swinging the chair. Oh, my gosh.

She knocked the ever-loving daylight out of one of the thugs. Oh, it's beautiful. and they were scampering. I mean, they just blew out of there. I love it.

They picked the wrong jewelry store. Maybe don't choose the Princess Bride next time or you're going to have a showdown. My goodness. All I can say is good for them. You know who this reminded me of?

We have a great jeweler who is a God-loving American patriot. Weimer's Jewelry. Yes. I guarantee you the same thing would have happened at Weimer's. I got my wedding band from him.

Did you really? Oh, yes. I hope he gave you a good price. Oh, he did. They treated me very well.

I bought a watch from him once. I'll have to tell you that story. It's pretty funny. But David Weimer, the guy dresses up for the Fourth of July. He'll dress up in an American flag suit.

Yeah, he goes all out. Couldn't you just see it in the camera? I'm like, well, there he is right there. That's him in the colorful suit. I pledge allegiance to David Weimer.

And, yeah, he would have.

So, anyway, I'm reading the story, and you've got to watch the video. It's just brilliant. But I'm thinking to myself, oh, yeah, that's David Weimer. he would do that definitely so anyway now local law enforcement they're a little aggravated at the store owners and they say that the store owners should have called the police and they should have waited but come on you know how this is oh yeah they're getting dozens of these smash and grabs all over the all over the state and you know they're understaffed you know they don't have enough cops they don't have enough cops and by the time they would have gotten there they would have been wiped out agreed the princess bride would have been a peasant quite the downgrade one law enforcement officer said this no one in that store's life is worth any diamond or watch or piece of jewelry they were very fortunate the criminals did not have any weapons beyond what they used to smash that display case if there was a gun involved this could have turned out very very differently now i contend he's absolutely right had the had the had the owners of the store been armed there would have been a very different story true you know shoot him in the kneecap i don't know but i guarantee you i guarantee you those little thugs they're not stupid i mean they may be stupid but i don't think they're stupid no i don't think they're going back to that just that store i would think like you said they'd go somewhere called i don't know the princess peasant the pro the what is it the princess and the pauper or something somewhere else they're not going back to the Princess Bride jewelry store ever again. No, exactly.

And the question is, should shop owners be allowed to take action into their own hands? I think you have to. I mean, there are, right now, we've got the poll going up on the website. 97% of our readers say absolutely store owners have a right to defend their store and their property. It's your property, exactly.

And you look at what's happening, and I don't like to reference the bad here in Memphis, Tennessee, But, you know, we're one of the most violent cities in all of America. Sadly, yes. And they had to shut down a really nice grocery store, the Aldi, which was in a, I mean, and it's not even a difficult part of town. It's just a lower income part of town. Not a lot of grocery stores over there.

They put one over there and they're shutting it down because they can't handle all of the violence and the thefts and the robberies. Yeah, you're right. And then what happens is you've got all of the activists and they turn around and say, well, that's just racist. But I want to know, when is the media going to wake up and really address this issue of the Asian Americans who are being targeted by the demographic we're not allowed to talk about? I'm just asking.

Those are the crickets. Chirp, chirp, chirp. 844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868.

So look, Vice President Mike Pence throwing down yesterday in front of a tiny crowd. He was campaigning in Georgia last night for Brian Kemp. Here's what he had to say. Because elections are about the future.

Now, there are those who want to make this election about the past. Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden want Georgia to embrace the failed socialist policies of the last century. They want to stifle the liberties the generations of Americans have fought to defend But you know the future belongs to freedom And when you vote for Brian Kemp tomorrow you will say yes to a future of freedom here in Georgia You'll say yes to our most cherished values at the heart of everything we hold dear. And when you say yes to Governor Brian Kemp tomorrow, you will send a deafening message all across America that the Republican Party is the party of the future. Not much enthusiasm in that crowd.

I have a question for our Georgia listeners. Your vote that you're casting today, or if you've done early voting, the vote you casted in early voting, was that a vote for Trump or Pence, or was that a vote for Kemp and Perdue? What sort of a message are you sending with your vote today in Georgia? Is that an affirmation of Trump and or Pence, or is it an affirmation of Perdue or Kemp? 844-747-8868.

That is our telephone number. Big news. A recent study finds Americans don't trust big media.

Now Americans, like me, have found a source they do trust. It's Newsmax. I watch Newsmax TV. Use the free Newsmax app on my smartphone. Mielsen says almost 7 million cable viewers watch Newsmax, but not Fox News.

Millions really are making the switch to Newsmax. Start your mornings with Wake Up America. Rob Finnerty finish at night with Rob Schmidt. He tells you the real news with no spin. And on weekends, you can watch Mike Huckabee, Diamond and Silk, Sebastian Gorka, and much, much more.

Find Newsmax on all major cable systems. If your system does not carry Newsmax, give them a call and demand Newsmax. or change to a cable system that does carry Newsmax. More than 20 million Americans have made the switch to news they can trust. Newsmax.

If you are looking for MyPillow, you will not find it in the big box stores. And the reason why? It's pretty awful. MyPillow's been canceled by the cancel culture mob. And that's why Mike Lindell wants to sell directly to you.

And that comes with some great savings. You're going to be able to get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard pillow. Normally $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code STARNS. MyPillow does more than just pillows. They have over 150 products.

Everything from sleepwear to slippers, even doggy beds and human beds. Go to MyPillow.com backslash STARNS. That's MyPillow.com backslash Starnes and use the promo code Starnes or call 800-544-8939. That's MyPillow.com backslash Starnes or call 1-800-544-8939. Use the promo code Starnes.

All right, folks, welcome back. Let's get to the phones here. Gainesville, Georgia. Donnie on the line, WDUN, the great affiliate there. Hey, Donnie, what's going on?

How you doing? Donnie doing good. What's going on? I was just wondering how Mike Lindell got back in the big chain stores. What do you mean?

i've seen his pillows at walmart in gamesville and at ace hardware and um down toward atlanta oh well that's a good thing i was just wondering how did he get back in the stores and and off of the hit list well i'm to be honest i'm i'm not quite sure donnie um as far as i know a lot of the other big box stores still ban uh mike uh ace hardware though uh first of all i didn't realize ace carried MyPillow products, I wouldn't be surprised because Ace is a pretty patriotic company, and I can't imagine them dropping MyPillow in the first place. All right, Donnie, appreciate the call. Thanks for listening. Let's go to Texas. Benjamin on the line.

Benjamin, understand you've been to the ballot box already. Yes, I have. I'm 18, and this is the second time to vote, but I wanted to tell you I voted. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're 18, but you voted twice already.

How did that happen?

Well, I voted a couple months ago.

Okay. Yeah, for the same people.

So anyways, I voted for Attorney General Ken Paxton, Land Commissioner Don Buckingham, and Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian.

Now, Ken Paxton, though, you have George P. Bush in this big race, and he's supposed to be carrying on the, you know, he was a pro-Trump guy carrying on the Bush dynasty there. He wasn't your guy, huh, Benjamin? No, I went to the Trump rally in Austin last weekend, and Trump had a lot of good things to say about Ken Paxton and really favored him. And I also got some information on the iVoter guide, and he's got a lot higher conservative marks for him.

So doing the research, it looked like he was more conservative than the Bush. All right.

Well, so there you go then. But the key here is getting out and voting, and that's what every citizen has to do all over America. Benjamin, thanks for calling in. And, folks, do not forget, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Texas, You guys have a patriotic duty to get out there and cast your ballot today. We've got to send a message here.

And really, there are two messages to send. One is to the Republican Party, and the other is to the Democrats, that we're coming loaded for bear this November.

So, look, we got some great letters and emails from you folks, and we got one yesterday after the end of the show, and I wanted to read this to you. Grace, you've seen this letter. It's a pretty good letter. Oh, yeah. Anyway, the guy wrote it.

His name is Aaron Gardecki. He is from Muhlenberg Township, Pennsylvania. And he was listening to our conversation we had with Chris DeGaul, who is the great radio host here in Philadelphia.

So anyway, Aaron wrote us a very nice letter about President Trump and the election. And then he added a P.S., a postscript. And here's what I want to read. Here we go. I listened to Rush Limbaugh every day for 20-plus years.

After God called him home, I searched for someone new to listen to. I listen to about a dozen different political talk shows only to be burned by fake facts. I'm not perfect. I don't expect anyone else to be. Everyone makes mistakes, but I can't stand someone who doesn't correct their mistakes and continues to repeat wrong information, no matter how minuscule the error is.

I want to stop right here. I completely agree with this guy. And for the record, we correct the record when we do make a mistake. You mean set the record straight. Which is about once every other year, if I'm keeping track here.

We have a tally on the wall. Very rare that we make a mistake on this program. I found your show in January of this year, and I enjoyed it immensely. Merlot, Grace, and you make a great team. Notice who's first and last.

Ha, ha, ha. Poor Kyle. Producer Kyle. Not Kyle. And they all forget Kyle.

They do forget Kyle. Poor Kyle. I feel bad for Kyle. He's kind of like the Indian guy in the old litter commercials in the 70s. Got that little tear just forming right on the corner of his eye.

We love you, Kyle. I listened to your podcast the day after the show aired. Your podcast is blaring through my speakers as I eat breakfast and get ready in the morning. You should feel pride knowing you are one of only two men I have ever showered with. El Rushbo being the other one.

Okay. A little TMI there. Just a bit. A little TMI there, Mr. McGudurkey.

He says, I'm just fooling. I'm normal. I'm a straight white man who believes in God and will never get pregnant. In the eyes of the Democrat, that probably makes me an oddball. You know, it probably does.

I mean, the guy knows his pronouns. That's how you can, you know, it's sad, but this is where we are in America. where red-blooded American men are men who know their pronouns. Oh, gosh. And can't lactate.

All joking aside, you are the only one I found who was able to fill Rush Limbaugh's shoes. Keep up the great work. Trump 2024 to save our nation. Erin, thank you so much. That is a very kind letter, and we love you.

If you guys want to send us a note, you can do that on our social media pages. And we always read those things. Yes, we do. Read every single one of them. And got a little shout out for Merlot there.

How about that? All right.

She's the best. Indeed. All right.

Coming up, folks, in the next hour, Diamond and Silk are going to be here. By the way, big controversy. Have you heard about this with the New York Yankees? And one of the players suspended, fined for using a racist remark. And he was joking around with a teammate and he called him Jackie Robinson because the teammate liked to call himself Jackie Robinson.

And so he had a good hit, and the teammate said, hey, way to go, Jackie. And apparently now the word Jackie is racist. I'm sorry, the J word.

Now apparently the only people who can use the J word in America are hip-hop artists. I guess that's the limit of who can use the J word in America. But I'm very concerned because yours truly actually has an Aunt Jackie.

So I don't know what I'm going to call her now. Aunt Blank? Aunt J-word? I don't know. That's very weird.

Anyway, we're going to get into that conversation as well. Plus your calls, 844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868.

Click the banner to get your Galaxy Z Fold 4. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's us. That's right. I love this American ride.

Todd Starks. Oh, yeah. All right.

Well, hello, everybody. Happy primary to you. That's to all you folks in Texas and Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia. Did you go out and vote? And I'm especially interested to know in Georgia, what's the turnout like if you've been out to cast your ballot?

And for you people in Georgia, a very simple question. the mainstream media casting this as a vote for either Mike Pence or Donald Trump. Is that true? Does that have any bearing on who you vote for today, Mike Pence or Donald Trump? We would love to hear from you.

Give us a report. If you are hearing of any reports or any problems at the ballot box, we want to hear about those as well. 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number. Now, a lot of people are pretty fired up over Joe Biden and some comments he made about the rising price of gasoline.

A few days ago, I filled up. It was $4.49 a gallon in Memphis. Those prices have already gone up since then. And a lot of people are very upset, very concerned about what's happening out there at the gas pump. President Biden explained yesterday what this was really all about.

When it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it's over, we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less relying on fossil fuels when this is over.

So, in other words, this is not some sort of an anomaly. This is not some sort of a freak thing. This is all intentional. the Biden administration is one of the most, if not the most, radical presidency in American history. And the whole point of this administration is to shove this country down a path where we become like Venezuela.

Now, Joe Biden, and you can say it's Joe. I don't think it is. I think this is coming from Barack Hussein Obama. Clearly, the radical progressives control the Democrat Party. This is AOC's Green New Deal being implemented before our very eyes.

So Joe Biden just told you we're raising the price of gas to force you into submission. In other words, they want to punish you. They want to make you as miserable as humanly possible.

So you will give up your pickup truck and you will buy one of those battery-powered cars you got to plug into the wall of your garage. That's what this is all about. And they want to make you suffer. Look, this is why you think they just let this shortage of baby supply, of the formula supply, just happen spontaneously? No.

Nothing is by accident with this administration. Remember what the godfather said, Rahm Emanuel, never let a crisis go to waste.

Well, Senator Ted Cruz calling out Biden right now, and I thought he did it in a phenomenal way and only in a way that Ted Cruz could call out Joe Biden. In many ways, it's breathtaking. You look issue by issue. This White House has gotten everything wrong. I mean, that's actually hard to do.

I mean, literally, if they rolled dice at the floor, if they threw darts at the wall, they'd stumble in by accident to something right. But on spending, on debt, on economics, on the border, on foreign policy, It's all a train wreck. And, you know, I've joked that you ought to bring Joe Biden down to Vegas and just have him pick red or black. Bet on the opposite. You'd win every time.

You'd be a rich man. You wouldn't have to live paycheck to paycheck. But there's actually a reason for this. The reason they're wrong 100 out of 100 times is they've handed the agenda over to the radical left, to the socialist. It's Bernie Sanders.

It's AOC. It's Elizabeth Warren. And socialist policies don't work.

So you take energy. Listen, four dollars and 71 cents today is the average price of gas nationwide. Joe Biden isn't unhappy about that. He's in Tokyo celebrating, saying it's an incredible transition. Yeah, incredible for you.

You fly a damn 747 where the taxpayers pay for your jet fuel. What Joe Biden is saying is if you at home, if you drive a pickup truck, to hell with you. You can't drive your pickup truck. If you have a Suburban, you've got to get rid of that. If you've got a minivan, you've got to get rid of that.

We're all getting Toyota Priuses, although he's going to pitch it as we're all getting Teslas, but apparently someone's going to give us $100,000 to get one. It is the most arrogant contempt for working men and women in this country, And that is the view of the hard left. Let them eat cake. John Kerry, as he flies his private jet all over the globe, says, gosh, you got to give up your pickup truck because I care so much about the environment. And it's just it's cruel and messed up.

And I think the American people are really seeing it. And I hope they are. I hope every Democrat out there, because everybody is suffering here. Everybody is suffering. I hope every Democrat, I hope every person listening to this radio show right now, I hope you understand that what's happening in America did not have to happen.

You're hard-pressed to blame the Democrats because they promised that this is what they were going to do. They promised us they were going to bring progressive policies to the table. They told us what was going to happen. We had the opportunity to stop this. We had an opportunity to stop the insanity by getting out there and voting for Donald Trump.

No doubt, based upon what I saw in 2000 Mules, the election was stolen. But I will say this. Had all of you never Trumpers out there, all of you people that consider yourself never Trump because you didn't like his tweets. he was just a bad man Todd he was just a horrible person and all those things that he tweeted oh it's just this man had no business being president of the United States all of you people who thought that you had that mindset this is on you I blame you all you woke evangelicals out there you woke evangelicals I blame you you had the opportunity to fix it You had the opportunity to stop this from happening, but you were so angry about Donald Trump's tweets, you said, to hell with America. And you did.

And that's where we're going. And it is a slippery slope. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. You say, Todd, what is the end game here?

Let me tell you something. You laughed when we told you that AOC was upset because cows passing gas was going to destroy the world. You laughed when we said that AOC wanted to shut down the airline industry because it was going to collapse the ozone. But here we are, and nobody's laughing now. Nobody's laughing.

And it's sad to say this, but your kids, your grandkids are probably, the next time they want a juicy cheeseburger, are going to get a tofu sandwich down at McDonald's if it's still open, if it's not being run by the government. And the next time you go visit grandma, you're going to have to do it in a horse and buggy. These people are evil. Senator Cruz is right. They want to make you suffer.

And I don't know if you've seen the TV interviews with these moms, desperate moms, and they're weeping because they don't have formula for their kids. we're having to rely on the Europeans to ship in humanitarian aid to the United States of America. Did you ever think that would happen? That the United States of America would have to accept humanitarian aid from another nation? We can't even feed American babies.

And you want to know why? Because we're feeding all the illegal alien Democrats coming across the southern border. You think that's okay? You think that's all right? That American children go to bed hungry?

That American children are being hospitalized? while we're feeding and clothing and taking care of the illegal alien children coming across our border? You think that's okay, America? I don't think that's okay. 844-747-8868.

This is the Todd Stern Show.

You know, Grace Baker, that's like a big deal now, the Monkey Pox. I knew it. I knew this was going to happen.

It's Planet of the Apes. I'm telling you. What's next? This is where that's all going. Is this like the plagues in the Bible?

What's next? So, anyway, Monkey Pox is apparently homophobic and racist.

So what are we supposed to call it instead? The M word? I don't know. I don't know. Rhino pox.

Look, as we explained on yesterday's program, and people come here for knowledge, and a good chuckle, and a good place to eat barbecue, but predominantly for knowledge. And we explained yesterday that in the 1950s, monkey pox was named because the original virus was found in what sort of critter? I'm assuming a monkey. A monkey. Thank you.

So anyway, they don't want you to call it monkeypox because monkeypox they think is racist because it's monkey.

So at first I thought people were just monkeying around.

Now I just think they're bananas. I don't know what to say. I mean, it's like the China virus. It's from China.

Well, I wonder if we should just call all illnesses like this the Caucasian Pox or White Straight Pox. Would that solve it? Because then I think nobody would come after the name. We could just call it that. What if it hits Major League Baseball and you've got the White Sox Pox?

I mean, that would be terrible. I'm not even going to dignify that with the response.

So you might be wondering, how is this possibly an anti-gay disease? Yes, I am wondering. Is it about monkeys and what they're doing together? As far as we know, the monkeys are heterosexual.

Okay, I just had to clarify. We don't judge the monkeys or the chimpanzees or whatever. How they live their life in the jungle of life is their business. It's the circle of life.

Okay, stop. Stop.

Sorry.

So it turns out, this is the latest reporting from the Associated Press. A leading advisor to the World Health Organization described the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox.

Now, Grace Baker, unprecedented, right? Unprecedented outbreak. Not in the jungles of Africa. It's happening in developed countries. Don't they call it the concrete jungle?

Yes, and there have been some instances there, but predominantly in Europe. And here's the reason why. It turns out that the unprecedented outbreak happened as a random event that appears to have been caused by sexual activity at two recent raves in Europe. Oh, those can get kind of crazy, I hear. Clearly, they're monkeying around.

Quote, I was being serious. I'm just saying, you can call it what you want to call it. By the way, I just want to go ahead and point out that your White Sox joke, I asked producer Kyle why he didn't play that sound effect. He said he didn't think it was funny.

So, I'm going to throw him under that bus and just walk away. Who was not mentioned in our letter just a few days ago? He just turned off my mic. It's getting difficult. I'm going to call HR over here.

Behave, everybody. Anyway, quote, we know monkeypox can be spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected. Ew, why do you have to say lesions? And it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission.

So health officials say most of the known cases in Europe have been among men who have sex with men. But here comes, Grace, because that can't be it. No, it can't be it. There's no way.

So there's a but there. But there may have been a but there, but this but is not that but. But anyone can be infected through close contact.

So there you go. Even though we all know who's most likely to get the monkeypox, we can't say it. And the health officials can't say it because that's homophobic. No. Now, it just seems to me in all seriousness here, ladies and gentlemen, and I just want to just I want you to think about this.

If, in fact, let's just say that monkeypox was being spread through babies at daycare centers, all right, would you not want to know that if you are a parent? You would want to know so you could protect your baby. You could take precautions to protect your child.

Now, it seems to me that if you're a member of the LGBT alphabet community, that you would want to know this information so you would stay away from these raves where you could possibly come into contact with this very nasty, horrible disease, right? Right? But on top of that, we're talking about a minuscule number of cases around the world. Minuscule.

So my question now is, why are they making such a big deal about this? What's really going on here? I contend they're trying to set something up where we all have to cast mail-in balance in November.

So you just put a pin in that, and let's see where the monkeypox goes, or the mpox goes, and we'll see. But there you go. It's being spread primarily, predominantly through men having sex with each other. I mean, that's what the health officials say.

Now, you can believe that or not believe it. You can think that's homophobic, but who are you calling a homophobe? Are you calling the scientists homophobes, or are you calling the disease homophobic? 844-747-8868. Let's go to the phones here.

Murph, Germantown, Tennessee, KWAM, our great flagship station. Hey, Murph, what's going on? Dr. Starnes, always a pleasure. I have a question for you, please, sir.

The United States of America makes up approximately 4.5% of the world population, which means 95-plus people, 95%, live outside the U.S. How in the world would a sane person make a pronouncement like the one the President of the United States made yesterday when the majority of the damage done under the label of so-called climate change is not taking place in the continental United States of America? And the second question, who in their right mind would vote for such an idea that this gentleman stated yesterday?

Well, look, I think that Democrats would, progressives would. All these kids that have been indoctrinated in their public schools will. Murph, they literally believe the United States is responsible for every climate issue in the world. Not to mention, by the way, that none of the predictions, the dire predictions from 20, 30 years ago, have come true. Not to mention that there hasn't been an increase in temperatures, any measurable increase.

So climate change, in my estimation, is a fallacy, unless you want to call it winter, spring, fall, and summer, which is the old school climate change.

now as far as the other i mean we all know that china is the largest contributor to um to pollution which is a thing but nobody wants to tackle china nobody wants to go after china and joe biden it always with the democrats murph it always america fault doesn matter what the facts are Now you said sane person and that the issue Murph We not dealing with sane people here I have one more question for you, please, sir, regarding the communist Chinese and the Chinese citizen. what's it i mean what does it take what's the cost every morning to fix breakfast for 1.6 billion people yeah you got me on that one burp and i hate to do this but we got to go we're up against a hard break here i don't know is that a trivia question i don't know it's a lot of egg mcmuffins i'll tell you that much all right 844-747-8868 that's our telephone number hang tight if you're on the whole phones we're gonna get to you my mom is 81 and she's having trouble walking taking care of herself and remembering things there are expectations my mom feels i'm her daughter and i should be able to do for her Sometimes the help they need is more than we can do alone. Care makes it easy to find senior caregivers who live nearby and know how to help. I love my mom, but I need some help. The best decisions are made with care.

Find help for your mom or dad at care.com. all right people welcome back to the Todd Starnes radio program great to have you with us in our monkeypox free studio we fumigate and then grace comes through the commercial break with the wet wipe so I think we're good uh folks a big primary day uh we're taking your calls if you are in Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas. Let us know what's happening out there. Who did you vote for? Tell us about the crowds.

You can do that by giving us a call, 844-747-8868. I do want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line. Two of the greatest American patriots I know, stars of Newsmax TV, our good friends Diamond and Silk. Ladies, welcome back to the show. Oh, thank you.

Thank you for having us. Thank you for having us. You know, it's been a while, ladies, and I know that before we jump into what's happening in Georgia, y'all were both very active and vocal about the Pennsylvania Senate race, which is still unknown. We don't know who won. And I had Kathy Barnett on this program several times, a great American lady who really got the raw deal from Fox News.

Yeah. Yeah, she got the raw deal. I'm very disappointed in Sean Patrick Kennedy. I have a real name. Sean Patrick Kennedy for how he portrayed her and painted her and tried to tie her to some type of extremist group.

And she was out there marching for President Trump for our country on January the 6th. And I was just taken aback by it. You know, we can vet each other without destroying each other because at the end of the day, we still got to help each other.

So the way Kathy was done, to me it was so wrong. Let me tell you something. It is very hard being a conservative in this country and being black because we get it from both sides. We get it from the left. We get it from the right.

And so when you have someone sitting on TV and upset because they good old boy can't get it. Right. And they're trying to bash somebody else or not giving the full context of what the person said, just giving us bits and pieces and making it look bad. It just, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's not like borderline discrimination to me. It's not borderline.

It is discrimination. You know, there was two other candidates in the race. They were white. I didn't see Sean Patrick Hannity do anything like he did to Kathy to them. I mean, you know, you want to talk about we have to vet this person, we have to vet this person, but this person is an American citizen.

They don't even vet these people that come across the border. They just let them run amok here on our country. And a lot of these conservative media, they cannot talk about the left-wing media because they're acting just like a lot of the left-wing media. You know, it's interesting. Yesterday, and this program originates from Memphis, Tennessee, my hometown.

We're a majority-minority city, and we probably have the largest number of black listeners in conservative talk radio. And we have a lot of black conservatives here who call into this program. And I hear the exact same complaints from them as I'm hearing from you. And this idea that Kathy Barnett wasn't vetted, well, whose fault is that? She was running.

They knew she was running for office. That's right. But they didn't take her seriously, and that's not her fault. That's on them. But then, Diamond and Silk, to turn around on Fox News Channel and use material, videos that were taken out of context and deceptively edited, I expect that from Rachel Maddow, not Fox News.

Right. And I think that's where I was just wrong. Like, you know, this is not right. And let me tell you something. You don't get to, okay, I'm going to say it like this.

You don't get to take and act like the slave master, beat the slave child, and expect for her to go lick her wounds and go somewhere because you're a good old boy. See, if Dr. Oz was good, Kathy wouldn't have never caught up to him.

so maybe maybe your candidate that's just flawed you don't get to do that you don't get to destroy somebody and think that that's okay and you know you just don't get to do that let me tell you something to me kathy is a patriot she was out there in the cold while sean hannity was texting somebody telling them to tell trump to stop talking about the 2020 election so wait a minute What was you doing on the 6th? What was Dr. Oz doing on the 6th? This lady was out there. In the cold.

In the cold. For the country. For election integrity. For President Trump. Y'all can't just kick her in the face and throw her under the bus.

And I want people to understand. That's right. She has immense power. Because she can sway this any kind of way. And that's anybody that comes to me.

Because you know the left is going to use this against us. That's right. Especially whenever you're supposed to be a Republican. And the one thing that the Democrats love to do is call Republicans what? Racist.

So whenever you give them the ammunition to use against you, that's what Sean Patrick Hannity just did. You gave them ammunition to use against you with the way that you just basically broad-beated this black woman down. But your white counterparts, you didn't do absolutely nothing to them. It is what it is. Look, we are in this country, United States, born on this soil.

I didn't migrate. I'm not no immigrant here. I was born on this soil. And you know what, the same way that I saw Sean do, Kathy, a lot of white people, white men, do that to diamond and silk. And that's the resonating thing there.

They act as though, how dare you think you can just come out of your box and say this? You just got off the Democrat plantation.

Now we've got to seat the dogs on you to bring you back. And unfortunately, that's the undercover hit piece that's going on in our country. when you talk about systemic racism, that's what it looks like. It's like you don't get to obtain the American dream. You've got to stay stuck right here behind these four walls or else.

And we're sick and tired of that. Yeah, there's a Republican plantation, too, ladies. And I'm telling you, and it's the establishment Republicans. And you and I, ladies, we all know there are people on national television who get paid to be conservative. And there's a difference than being a conservative and getting paid to be a conservative.

Yeah. What people got to understand, just because we come off that plantation, don't think we're going to stay close to the plantation gate. We don't need anyone permission to renew or do this country.

Now, we love this country. We're very patriotic. We stand for the flag. We fight for our principles and our rights. But nobody is going to tell me that I need their permission to run for office or to do.

as nobody is going to take and think that they can destroy me and think they can sit on their soapbox and think it's okay. Anybody that comes up and tells us about or brings up what happened with Kathy Burnett, I'm sorry, I cannot say Sean Patrick Kennedy of Fox. I will be telling them the truth. This is what the grand old party looked like. This is what they look like when they want to keep it grand and old.

Diamond and Silk on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Ladies, big primaries. Mike Pence yesterday coming to Georgia, small turnout with Governor Kemp.

Meanwhile, there are some reports that David Perdue may be gaining ground in the polls. Do you think this is a referendum on President Trump, or is this, again, all politics is local? You know, I think that this is politics, and it's going to be interesting to see if this here plays out like what's playing out in Pennsylvania. I hope even Perdue wins. I hope he can pull this off so we can go on to beat Stacey Abrams.

I'm not a big fan of Mike Pence. I'm not a big fan of Kemp. I just don't understand these conservative men and how they threw President Trump under the bus. You know, I know we have a forgiving God. I know I'm supposed to forgive, but I will never forget what these men did to him.

They stabbed President Trump in the back and then turned around and stabbed him in the chest. I don't see how Kemp can win this. I really don't. I'm really, really, really, really. But if they still have the same mechanism, cheating mechanism in place, where the balance is basically sold to the highest bidder allegedly, then, you know, they can pick and choose.

As long as there's corruption within the system to swap and pick and choose who they want in any position. And that's how it's been going. Let's look at what's happening in Pennsylvania, and now we see what's about to happen there in Georgia. Look at how the swamp people done came in now. And they're like, okay, now we're here.

You had the Bushes. You had Chris Christie. You had Pence. All of this here for Bryant Kemp, the one that President Trump had endorsed and turned around. They turned around and said President Trump right on in the back end in the front.

I mean, it's like this. The Democrats, they can be on their little cheat and field doing whatever they want to do. But you got these elitist Republicans driving the getaway car. They're right there, one in the same, one dirty bird with two corrupt wings. DiamondandSilkInc.com, which is all things Diamond and Silk.

I didn't realize you all had bobbleheads, too. That's pretty cool. All sorts of great stuff. That just happened to flash up on my computer, ladies. But the point is you guys have some great products and all things Diamond and Silk on the website.

And, of course, you've got to talk about this incredible Newsmax show, which is one of the top-rated programs in all of Newsmax TV. Oh, wow.

Well, you know, we do come on on Saturdays. Diamond and Silk, Crystal Clear, giving people our opinion. We are opinionators. And we can add this to our resume. We're also strategic street fighters.

You know, with these elections coming up, we really want to win in 2022. You have to be strategic about what you're doing so that you can go ahead on and take down your opponent.

So this is what we do, you all. We absolutely love it.

So make sure you tune in on Saturday. Diamond and Silk, Crystal Clear, 8.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. All right.

Diamond Silk, don't be strangers. It's been way too long. I know. Yes, it's been a while. We conservative Southerners have to stick together.

That's right. All right.

Ladies, God bless, and we'll see you on TV. Diamond and Silk, great American patriots right there. Thanks, ladies. God bless. All right.

There's a lot of truth in what they said, and they're right. You know, there's this urge within the Republican Party to play the same identity politics game only when it suits the Republicans. I've always contended we need the best person for the job. I don't care what color their skin is. I don't care.

We want the best person for the job, the best person that's going to stand up and defend conservative values. I just cannot, in good faith, support someone like Dr. Oz. And neither can Diamond and Silicon. By the way, they're two of the most devout Trump loyalists.

They stood alongside this man, and they still are, and they're fighting every single day. It doesn't make them less because they don't support Dr. Oz, who, by the way, is pro-abortion, supports transgender reassignment surgery for children, is pro-BLM, a pro-Marxist organization, and wants to take away your guns. Those do not sound to me like America First principles. And we still don't know who's won the election, and that's a whole other issue.

We're going to have to take a quick break here. But God bless these ladies for speaking out and saying what needs to be said. If the Republican Party is going to be a viable party, we cannot be a bunch of white, old country club Republicans. We've got to be a party that reflects who we are as a nation. And any Republican Party that doesn't – go to your – all right, here's some homework for you.

Those of you who are members of your local Republican Party, I want you to go to your next meeting, and I want you to count and see how many white people are there, and then count to see how many other people are there. and if you don't have a good mix you're not doing something right in your community here in memphis tennessee we have a vibrant black middle class a lot of small business owners who would benefit tremendously from the fiscal policies of the republican party policies that get big government out of our businesses out of our affairs why aren't we reaching out to all of the communities yeah you know what as faith of The lady Faith from Memphis, Tennessee called in yesterday, and she said, yeah, you're going to have to come out of your comfort zone. Yes, you're going to feel a little uncomfortable, but we've got to bridge those divides in our community, and if we do not, we will not be able to take back America. But we cannot allow anybody to divide us along racial lines. We just can't do it.

People who are responsible for the divisions along racial lines, shame on them. All right, look, we're going to get to Patty in North Carolina. Hang tight. We've got to take a break. 844-747-8868.

That's us, that's right. I love this American ride. All right, folks, some breaking news out of Texas. This is from ABC News. Authorities are on the scene of an active shooter incident at an elementary school in Uvedel, Texas.

That's in the independent school district there. The shooter was located at Robb Elementary School. People are being asked to stay away from the area. We've got details. Our team is providing updates on ToddStearns.com.

But again, no word on any injuries. And this breaking news coming out of Texas. Robb Elementary School, an active shooter. Law enforcement is on site. They're asking people to stay away, and we'll bring you up to speed on that when we get more information.

Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio program. We have a very busy hour. Liz Harrington from the Trump team is going to be here. Senator David Perdue is going to drop by in just a few moments. But right now on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line, we are honored to have a great friend from American Family Radio, American Family Association, Will Addison.

Will, great to have you with us today. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. And, of course, some exciting news coming to Mississippi, where you guys are getting ready to host the 2022 Marriage Family Life Conference. I want you to tell our listeners about what you guys are doing.

so uh the conference has been here since 2018 and it's a conference hosted by the american family association and basically it's to get families empowered and to teach them to equip them to go back to their homes to take on the fight uh the marriage family life conference has a conference within the conference so it's for the whole family and so there's a youth apologetics track for ages 4 to 17 so while the adults are being ministered to and being taught we also have something for the children. And it's not just juice and crackers. You know, we're going to teach them a biblical worldview. And so the Marriage Family Life Conference is that conference, and it's happening July 7th to the 9th down here in Tupelo, Mississippi. At the Bancorp South Arena, which is a beautiful facility there in Tupelo.

And Will, I think when you take a look at what's happening in our country right now, I mean, there really is a war being waged against the biblical family in America. That's right. That's right. And so we're doing all that we can to equip families to stay in the fight. One big piece that I talked about was the youth apologetics track.

We believe that we have to, people use this word, they think it's a bad word, but indoctrinate. I believe we need to indoctrinate our children with the truth. And so we have an opportunity to do that within the family context. And so we really stress, really empowering families to do just that, that we've been equipped, and you can equip your children as well, as you see all these things, pushing against the family. And as we go forward, we see more and more attacks against the traditional family.

And this is the way that God has designed family, one man, one woman, for life, with offspring and children born into that family.

So we have to stand up and fight for that. I think this is so vitally important to the health of our nation, and that's why I think this conference, which really is designed, folks, for the entire family, the Marriage Family Life Conference 2022, that's why you need to attend. Will, you guys have been doing this. What has been the reaction, the response from people, and what kind of fruit have you seen emerge from the conference? One of the biggest things is that I've talked to some attendees, and they said, man, There are people with like minds here.

It feels like family. A lot of times when you're kind of isolated in your own little world, you kind of think, I'm the only one that thinks like this. But coming to this conference, I've spoken to people who say, man, I'm really encouraged to know that there are other people who are fighting for their families, who are being equipped, and who are taking these things back to their hometown. And so that's one of the biggest things. The atmosphere and the environment there, it feels like family, and people leave there going back very empowered by what they have learned.

All right, where can people go if they want to get information, if they want to sign up, register? Yes, you can go to marriagefamilylife.net, marriagefamilylife.net, and on the front page you'll see a video of me and my wife, and it gives all the instructions right there.

Now, we shut down registration on May 15th, but we're opening it right back up on May 25th. That'll be tomorrow.

So tomorrow for one week from May 25th to May 31st, we'll have we're opening up registration again because we've gotten feedback that people are like, man, I missed registration. Can I get in? And so we're going to open it up again for a week. And so tomorrow will be the day to go to the website, marriagefamilylife.net and register for the conference. Will, I think this is tremendous, and we're going to have you on between now and when the conference starts again.

We really want to promote this, and we want to fill up that arena with families that want to grow together, they want to learn together, and as you said, they want to be indoctrinated in the right way. That's right. That's right. Thank you so much for having me. All right, Will.

God bless you. Will Addison from American Family Association, the Marriage Family Life Conference. And we've got a direct link on our live show blog, folks. We make it real simple for you to go and get information on this great event. And I hated to cut Will Short, but we do want to bring you up to speed on this breaking news story out of Texas.

Fox News is reporting that one person has been shot, and the shooter who ran into the school has now barricaded himself inside this elementary school, Rob Elementary School. We understand law enforcement is on site, and Uvalde is the correct pronunciation.

Sort of butchered that name there a few moments ago. We understand, though, that students are being transported.

So it looks like students are being evacuated, and they're being taken to a nearby civic center for reunification.

So that is some good news, and that's the information we have right now coming out of Texas. All right, folks, we're going to take a quick break here. 844-747-8868. Again, that is a toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

You know, since November of last year, the stock market has been in turmoil. Gas prices, we know, they're insane. Stock market volatile and inflation is worse than it's been in 40 plus years. And now we've got war with Russia. The good news is we've got some options.

Did y'all see what Stacy said this weekend? Said that Georgia's the worst place in the country to live. Hey, she ain't from here. Let her go back where she came from. She doesn't like it here.

The only thing she wants is to be President of the United States She doesn care about the people of Georgia That clear You know when we saw in 18 what she did and what she said oh we going to have a blue wave we going to do it with documented and undocumented workers You know, I don't think a lot of people in Georgia understood. And when she told black farmers, you don't need to be on the farm. And she told black workers in hospitality and all this, you don't need to be. She is demeaning her own race when it comes to that. Willie, I don't know where to start with that.

I mean, no endorsement from low energy Don is going to erase all the things that happened there. He got replacement theory in there. He got the fascist refrain of go back to where you came from in there. And here you have an old white millionaire being indignant that black people might, quote, get off the farm.

Okay, enough of that. I can't handle these morons. I don't know who in the world has the fortitude to listen to morning schmo without their Froot Loops curdling. It's just simply outrageous, the accusations that are being slung at Senator David Perdue, who is a good and decent human being. He is not a racist, and what he said was the absolute God's honest truth about Stacey Abrams.

Now, Senator Perdue is on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line right now.

Well, Senator, we appreciate you taking time on the campaign trail. How are things going so far today?

Well, I think we've got the potential for a monster day. I mean, after 19 days of early voting, contrary to what Stacey Amos has said, that we are a voter suppressionist state, we have very liberal allowances for people to vote. 19 days of early voting, one of the highest in the country. We had a record turnout. 500,000 people have already voted prior to this morning, Republicans.

and half of those sides had not voted in the 2018 primary, which is really tremendously encouraging for our side. Let me say something about Stacey Abrams. I mean, what the left woke mob liberal press is doing is trying to cancel me because I'm speaking the truth down here in Georgia. There are no fascist overtones in that. That is absolutely ridiculous.

My dad integrated one of the first school systems in Georgia. I have a fantastic record in race relations in my career. This is nothing but the left trying to cancel a candidate here who is threatening the status quo, a Republican candidate in Brian Kemp. We see it when Pence came in last night. Donald Trump had well over almost 40,000 people on a teleconference last night, tele-rally.

And he said, basically, look, guys, if you're as tired as I am of the radical left, And if you're as tired as I am of the rhino career politician on the Republican side lying to you and not listening to you, now's the time to stand up, go out and vote. And that's what we're telling people today continually. Senator, we had Matt Towery on the program yesterday going over some of his polling. He's thinking there's going to be a runoff between you and Governor Kemp. But he said one of the challenges was you didn't put out as much advertising as Governor Kemp.

What was your strategy there?

well it's not a strategy it's a reality when you run against an incumbent governor with a line item veto he has browbeat everybody in the state uh and we were totally locked out of raising much money in the state because of appointments and hirings and contracts and all that you can imagine and oh by the way the big left dominated corporate entities uh in georgia can contribute to political campaigns and guess what they're all locked in with the incumbent governor so we weren't able to raise as much money in state. And so we managed that and invested that money early to encourage early voting.

So we went up on TV and got out there at the early stages of early voting, and it manifested this stuff. It rewarded us with early voting turnout in record numbers. And so that's carrying through today. What we've been doing the last two weeks is spending most of our money on the ground efforts to get the vote out, and it's actually paying huge dividends. I'm a business guy.

If you're going to invest money, you've got to get a good return on it. And with all the noise that the governor has been putting out there, the lies about my background and so forth, people know better. They've heard the lies from the Democrats in 2014. They heard them in 2020. They're not buying it now when the governor is issuing those same Democrat lies that they used in those two other races.

So I'm very gratified by the turnout today. I think it bodes well for tonight. We'll just have to wait and see. Senator, I'm curious how you see this race, how you frame this race. Towery said yesterday that this is really a battle between Mike Pence and Donald Trump.

Is that how you see what's happening today in Georgia?

Well, I think, you know, Matt Towery is one of the two or three best pollsters in the country. But it's hard to pick this dynamic up. I've been talking about this since December when I got in this race. We have an election fraud dynamic here that really has a lot of people on nerve. And then you have the Trump overlay.

I don't for a minute think that in Georgia right now this governor's race is solely about Pence versus Trump. That's ridiculous. They're on two different levels. I mean, my goodness. Donald Trump executed the best economic turnaround in U.S.

history. He made America first. He made the world safer. What he did is push back on NATO, made us energy independent, helped 6.5 million people pull themselves out of poverty. Mike Pence was a radio guy that basically turned into a congressman and a governor and then was selected to be the vice president.

Basically, he's just at a different level. I was shocked that he came down here. But it's just another example of where the rhino incumbents around the country, from Governor Ducey in Arizona to Chris Christie in New Jersey, now to Mike Pence, who came down to rally behind our own rhino in Brian Kemp. Let me mention one other thing. The Republican Governors Association put five and a half million dollars in this primary against me to protect an embattled, embittered and endangered incumbent in Brian Kemp.

That shows you how desperate they are. And they know they're in trouble. The reality is we're sitting here today at two o'clock on Election Day. And our governor, who is an incumbent sitting Republican governor, is struggling to get the 50 percent. That alone tells the world that I was right in December by saying that he has divided the party and he cannot beat Stacey in the fall.

Do you believe that Mike Pence is a rhino? Oh, absolutely. There's no question. Look, the thing about America First agenda is not about Donald Trump. He's the one that originated.

People get confused. It's about the agenda. We cut taxes. We became energy independent. We saved our community banks.

And, oh, by the way, had a plan to get out of Afghanistan without the debacle that Biden has created. And, oh, by the way, we secured the southern border. We put sanctions on Putin. We calmed down Kim Jong-un. We got out of the Iran nuclear deal.

Look, President Trump made the world much safer. And yet in one year, Brian Kemp has allowed Joe Biden and the radical side of the Democratic Party to undo much of the gain that we had made during the Trump administration. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, Senator David Perdue running for governor today in the Republican primary. Senator, I want you to—we get this question a lot, and most of it is from out-of-state listeners, and they go back to the Senate race that you lost, and they say, why didn't you fight harder? Why didn't you push back more after that contested race?

Well, let's talk about what the reality is. First of all, in May of 2020, when our governor allowed the consent decree to go through, I argued about that. I asked for a special session to reverse that. That's against the law here in Georgia. When the governor allowed for $7.5 million absentee ballots to be mailed out, he allowed for drop boxes, and he allowed for Zuckerberg to put $55 million.

I argued against all of that. And then after the November election, when I did win by 90,000 votes, two points better than Democrat in every other state, but one thought I would have been reelected on its own merit. But in Georgia, we have the 50 percent rule and the Democrats kept producing ballots three days after the election that pulled us just a few thousand votes below the 50 percent level. And then at that point in November, I filed three lawsuits. I asked several times officially for a special session.

The governor denied it. I even asked for the resignation of Brad Raffensperger. I didn't stop there. I then helped a group of voters file a lawsuit against Fulton County. In that case, in May of 21, the judge actually ruled that fraud happened.

He ruled that the evidence of fraud was compelling, and he ruled to unseal the balance in Fulton County. Then, when that didn't work, he dismissed that case because he said voters didn't have standing. I filed my own case against Fulton County, and we now have been dismissed because they said, I don't have legal standing. I'm appealing that. I continue to fight it.

And now I've stood up and run for governor to try to clean up this election mess.

So I'd like for somebody to tell me what else we can do, honestly. Senator, look, I think you just delivered a home run answer right there. We are up against a hard break. We want to thank you for coming on the show. A lot of Georgia listeners.

And I think you did a great job making your point for their vote today. Senator, good luck tonight hey thanks Todd all right Senator David Perdue right folks there you go um what say you Georgia 844-747-8868 this is the Todd Starnes Radio Show just because our parents are getting older doesn't mean they don't have lots to do They might just need a little help.

I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Our good friend from Team Trump, Liz Harrington, joins us. Liz, I think it's going to be another great day for President Trump.

Well, hey, thanks for having me, Todd. I mean, we've got a lot of races in multiple states, but what we've known in the past, and I think it'll prove again true today, the power of the Trump endorsement cannot be underestimated. We have record turnout in Georgia right now. And I dare say that's good for the MAGA movement. That's good for the MAGA base getting out on game day and voting and to fight for fair elections.

I mean, that's what this is all about. That's what President Trump, you know, has put his endorsement on the line in these races. We know it's very difficult to beat an incumbent governor, but I mean, it didn't matter. He said this is the right thing to do. We need to get David Perdue to challenge Brian Kemp, and we need to restore election integrity.

And the fake news has been out there with their suppression polls saying, oh, this is a blowout. Don't bother turning out. You know, he's up over 60 percent. I clearly think that is not the case. I think they're really worried.

Brian Kemp's really worried about a runoff here. I mean, that's why he brought in, you know, every rhino and their mother to come campaign for him down the homestretch. He clearly is worried about it. And look, we'll see what happens. But we've got some other great races as well.

I mean, up and down the ballot, President Trump endorsed a lot of great candidates in Georgia. We've got Jody Heiss for Secretary of State. Of course, David Perdue, as we mentioned. We've got Herschel Walker. We've got Patrick Witt for Insurance Commissioner.

We've got John Gordon for Attorney General. And then we also have Ken Paxton in a runoff in Texas. Great guy. I think he's going to do really well. President Trump put out a ton of the endorsements that he has already made that are up for election today out on Truth Social.

So check it out. If you're in those states, get out and vote. It's so important. And by the way, folks, if you haven't already joined Truth Social, you need to do that. And you can follow President Trump.

You can follow Liz. And you can follow yours truly. And, Liz, I have to tell you, we monitor all of our traffic from all of our platforms on our website, and it's been very nice to see the uptick in the traffic. Even though our numbers are smaller right now on True Social, we're getting solid, solid traffic because there is no censorship on True Social, the president's network. There's no censorship, and guess what?

There's actually a real person behind those follows. I mean, it's amazing. The engagement is spectacular. I'm pulling away from Twitter and strictly using True Social right now because, look, I have fewer followers. But guess what?

I have better engagement. I know I'm reaching real people. And those followers keep ticking up because more and more people are finding the platform now that it's on the web, which opens it up to so much. Look, this is a long-term rollout, right? Devin Nunes, great CEO of TMTG, he wanted to get this right.

We didn't want it to crash and burn. We wanted to make sure it was secure. We wanted to make sure it was real people weeding out these bots. I mean, look at the problems Elon Musk is having now because they've realized, oh, this thing isn't actually worth anything because it's all fake, just like everything else. I mean, it's unbelievable.

So you're absolutely right, Todd. truthsocial.com and president trump has been firing off the truth lately you got to go to his page and you got to refresh and see what else he's posted it's great it's exciting fun there's a great energy there and we just love it i i think it's really going to start to take off now millions of people are already on but i mean the sky's the limit we know they're so hungry for just free speech i mean that's what it's all about a level playing field and boy when we have a level playing field, there's nothing that we can't do.

Well, you're not kidding about that, Liz.

Well, it's going to be a great night and a long night. No doubt about that as they count votes in Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, and Texas. And you know, Liz, in some of these cases, and look, the president's track record, if he was a baseball player, he'd be a rock star. I mean, everybody wants those kinds of numbers. But, you know, the reality is in some of these races, They say all politics is local.

There are local issues.

So, you know, you have to you know, everybody has to understand that. But at the end of the day, I think this is about Brian Kemp and David Perdue and not President Trump, although the president's endorsement of Senator Perdue is vitally important. Oh, it's so important. And I mean, otherwise you would not have a chance at all. I mean, you just wouldn't.

Let's be honest here. I mean, we've seen that in race after race after race. I mean, look at in Pennsylvania. You know, Dr. Oz, that endorsement came kind of late, relatively speaking.

Early voting had already started, which, again, President Trump just put this truth out. Can we get one day voting, please? Why do we have two months of voting? What is going on here? And then how many weeks to count the ballots is absolutely a joke.

But Dr. Oz surged after that. I mean, that's the only reason he's leaving right now is because the Trump endorsement. It's so important. People, they have such respect for who President Trump picks.

They trust him. Liz, how did that work with Dr. Oz? because there were a lot of concerns, and I was one of them, very concerned about issues, his positions on abortion, gun rights. What did he say to President Trump that reassured the president that he was on the right side of those issues?

Well, he assured him that he's America first, and that really, I think, did cement it because there's a personal relationship that goes back many, many years. He personally knows them. He trusts Dr. Oz. He thinks he's a fan of his work.

And, you know, a lot of the criticism, to be quite honest, you know, since Dr. Oz hasn't been in politics ever before, people have known him in a totally different realm. They're unsure about his positions. A lot of criticism came President Trump's way. You know, they said, oh, is he conservative?

He's not a conservative. He's not really pro-life. And all of this, he turned out to be the most pro-life, the most conservative, and the most common sense, just a great leader for our country. And I think he sees that same effect that can be in Dr. Oz once he gets to Washington because he has that personal relationship.

He knows the man. And so that's why I think he went with him. And look, now they're playing games up there. I mean, I just saw a story, McCormick's trying to count ballots, mail-in ballots with no date on them. I mean, who needs him when he, like, who needs the Democrats when you got McCormick?

I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. We cannot have our elections be such a joke and counting ballots where we don't even know where they came from with no security. We got to fix our elections. We got to fix this process. And, you know, we're going to be continuing to talk about it until it does get fixed.

All right, Liz, we're going to leave it there. Busy, busy day for you guys. Good luck across the southern states today. Thank you so much, Todd. All right, Liz Harrington, everybody.

Follow Liz, by the way, and yours truly over on TruthSocial.com. Oh, Grace, I know you love ice cream. I'm a big fan of ice cream myself. You scream, I scream. We all scream for ice cream.

I used to be a big fan of the Chunky Monkey, the kind that comes out by Ben and Jerry's. You can't have that. No, I can't. For several reasons. I know.

I'm a full-figured person, so I've got to slim down.

Well, I wasn't even thinking that. But also, I want to be sensitive. I don't want to be accused of anything. You can't say that. No.

Look, and the problem is, it's like buying rap music. If you're a white person and you buy rap music, they're going to get you. They're going to get you. Also, Ben and Jerry's is on the no-no list, too.

Well, they're leftist. Yeah, they're very leftist. But they make good ice cream. They do, but what about Blue Bell? That being said, they put a little bit too much stuff in the ice cream.

I just like to have a nice bite. A nice bite of ice cream. But they make great ice cream. Cookie dough is my favorite.

Well, there you go. That's it's it's a little too white ish.

So, I mean, dang, I'm just saying that, you know, no, the color of the ice cream. It's a little, you know.

So anyway, Walmart is having to apologize.

So Walmart, Walmart, Walmart created a new brand of ice cream for Juneteenth, which is Black Independence Day. Right. So Walmart is now apologizing for selling the Juneteenth ice cream. The company says they will no longer sell their Celebration Edition Juneteenth ice cream. It sparked a lot of backlash on social media.

And the label, by the way, it was a red velvet flavored ice cream. Oh, that sounds pretty tasty. I love red velvet cake. It's very delicious. Walmart said Juneteenth holiday marks a celebration of freedom and independence.

However, we received feedback that a few items cause concern for our customers. One critic said the ice cream highlights why it's important to have diverse voices at the table when making strategic business decisions.

So I guess my question is, why is ice cream celebrating Juneteenth racist? I don't know. And I'll go a step further. Unless the ice cream was vanilla. That would be pretty obvious.

I think that I would get that. Yes. I would get that. A reporter tried to go and buy a tub of Juneteenth ice cream at a local store, but it was unavailable for purchase. Oh, one employee said they're actually throwing the ice cream away.

What a waste. Just relabel it. You know why, though? This is the key to the story. You know why they're offended?

Tell me. You know why, Grace Baker? I don't know. I really don't know why. Do you know why?

No, don't. Tell me. I'm going to tell you why. I'm waiting. I'm going to tell you why.

Okay. It's because they say the ice cream is exploiting the holiday. Like every other holiday and every other. Have you seen Christmas? Has anybody been inside Walmart at Christmas time?

Oh, my gosh. God forbid.

So you know what's going to happen is the gingerbread people, the Christians will be coming out of the gingerbread people. That's exploiting our holiday. I'm not Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. A drunk. Can we just, the Red Nose, can we not just enjoy the holidays and enjoy a nice bucket of ice cream?

And let's be real. This is capitalism. People make stuff and sell it for everything. Let's just be real. Mighty people get a hold of yourself.

Stop being offended all the time. It must be painful to be this offended all the time. That's all I can gather. Could have been the diabetes, too. I'm just saying.

All right.

Got to take a break. 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show.

You know what I could go for right now, Grace Baker? One of those delicious chili slaw dogs at the Collegiate in downtown Gainesville, Georgia. Chili slaw dogs. Oh, it's a great. Chili dog, yeah.

Slaw dog, no. It's a great southern delicacy. I'll take your word on that one. I don't like coleslaw. You would love this place.

You know why? They toast the buns.

Okay, that, yes. I'll just say leave off the slaw. Extra cheese. It doesn't really matter the quality of anything else, but if you toast a bun, that makes the sandwich. It amplifies everything.

It does. Anyway, but they make great chili slaw. Best in America. I'll take your word for that. All right.

I'm just telling you. I'm going to be in Georgia later this summer. I'm going to Gainesville, Georgia. For the food, right? To visit our friends at WDUM, but also to go get a chili slaw.

I was going to say, it sounds like there's a lot of good food up there. I wonder if Avery will buy me, you know, we have to get Avery, the intern, to buy me a Chili Slaw Dog. I think he could do that if you pay him enough. It's not very expensive. It's very reasonably priced.

He's in college, but he can afford it. Let's go to the phones. Speaking of Georgia, WDUN, John on the line. Hey, John, how are you today? Whoa, how you doing?

I'm good. Thank you for asking. Look, I got a question. All right.

I have followed Trump's suggestion almost everything, but I have to know why is he endorsing David Perdue when David Perdue is the senator who changed his vote on January 6th and stabbed Trump in the back? I'm going to answer this for you, John, without consulting President Trump or his people. I think Donald Trump hates Brian Kemp so much for what he did that he's willing to forgive and forget the January 6th debacle to beat Brian Kemp. That's what I think's going on. But Kemp didn't do anything.

Well, Donald Trump certainly thinks he did. I know he doesn't. His advisors are the ones who are convincing him of that, and he needs to get another advisor because it was Rafflinberger, not Kemp. No, look, I hear you, and Rafflinberger will probably get his due. I think Jody Heist is going to make a great Secretary of State and make a great governor one day, by the way.

Absolutely. John, a lot of this doesn't make any sense, and I think the president is just very angry still about what happened in 2020. He doesn't feel like he's gotten a fair shake by anybody. And that's why, you know, and again, why Dr. Oz?

You know, I can't answer that question. Yeah, I'll go with that. Yeah, but honestly, I mean, look, there may be, you know, Matt Towery says he thinks this is going to be a runoff, and there may be, and if that's the case, then I am curious how this is going to play out. because to the senator's point, the rhinos have all congregated around Brian Kemp for this, all of them. That's telling.

I don't know. Again, I'm not questioning Kemp's conservative credentials at all, but he has surrounded himself by rhinos, and that is a fact. John, we've got a skedaddle here. I appreciate the call, and good luck. You folks in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, get out and vote today.

I mean, this is the whole point of doing what we do, is to get out and to try and make a difference. And by the way, tonight we will be up into the wee hours, covering all the primaries, providing analysis over at ToddStearns.com.

So I encourage you to check out the website and join us for the conversation. We'll be doing some Q&A and stuff like that on Truth Social tonight.

So if you haven't already made the switch over, you've got to do that. All right.

This story out of San Francisco. London Breed, that's the mayor. She is now threatening to boycott the city's gay pride parade. Mayor Breed is upset because the police department will not allow police officers to march in the parade wearing their uniforms. What are they, naked?

No, they're not. OK, they're not naked. OK, they're not naked. They just can't wear their uniform. It turns out that the events board of directors decided that off-duty police officers who march in the parade will not be allowed to wear their uniform.

So this is not a police department decision. This is the San Francisco Gay Pride Organization. They say officers are still allowed to participate. They just can't wear their uniforms. In response to the ban, the San Francisco Police Department's Pride Alliance says that LGBTQ employees have decided not to march in the parade in order to take a stand against the discriminatory actions of the San Francisco Pride Committee.

You know, these activists, I've never seen a more intolerant bunch of people. All these people shouting, we've got to have intolerance.
