Well, folks, all I can tell you is: God bless Rand Paul. God bless the great Republican senator from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Friday edition of the Todd Starns Radio Program. We are so glad to have you with us today.

We've got a lot going on here, folks, and a lot of big stories. I want to give you some updates on the big Pennsylvania Senate race. And if you thought it was ugly yesterday, it's a fight in a pigpin right now. I mean, it is ugly. U-G-L-Y, and nobody's got an alibi.

Sorry, I'm getting ready for the Grizzlies game tonight, so you gotta have some cheers. But we're gonna get into the Kathy Barnett story. We've been doing our own investigative journalism here on the program, and nobody else is. And we have some things to share with you, and we'll do that this hour of the program. But I want to start today by saluting Senator Rand Paul, who did something that no other Republican lawmaker on Capitol Hill had the courage to do.

Okay.

So Rand Paul stood up and objected to this forty billion dollar aid package for Ukraine. This is an aid package that nobody has had a chance to read. Nobody. And it has bipartisan support.

So you've got a lot of Republicans are supporting this as well as all of the Democrats. Yeah. And Rand Paul stood up and said, Well, hold on a second here. We've got to stop. We've got to take a long hard look at this thing.

Now Senator Paul is demanding and here's his problem, he's demanding the legislation be altered to require an inspector general to oversee spending on Ukraine. Yeah. And I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty darn brilliant idea. Because right now we have no idea. And by the way, again, nobody's been able to read the legislation, so nobody knows exactly how much of the money is going to Ukraine and how much of it is going to port barrel projects in the home districts of these Democrats.

We don't know. Nobody knows.

So I think Senator Paul is making a rather prudent decision here.

Now, Mitch McConnell is very upset about all of this. He says Ukraine is not asking us to fight this war. They're only asking for the resources they need to defend themselves against this deranged invasion, and they need this help right now.

Okay, I get it. I mean, I understand we're sending, what, hundreds of billions of dollars? I mean, at some point, do you realize, and Rand Paul pointed this out yesterday, the amount of money that we are sending to Ukraine. Exceeds the total military budget for the nation of Russia. Yeah.

So what's really going on here? What are we doing aside from fighting a proxy war against the Russians in Ukraine? Which clearly we are now? And by the way, that's going to come back and bite us in the behind.

Okay.

But all Senator Paul is trying to say is, hey, we need some accountability here. Fellows, we're about to, and there may be a couple of gals, guys, gals in the U.S. Senate, we're about to spend $40 billion of hard-earned money that was paid for by the American taxpayers. Many of you listening to this radio program, you're busting your backs trying to earn a paycheck, and they're taking money out of your paycheck and they're giving it to the Ukrainians. And Rand Paul says, we just want to make sure the money is getting to the right place.

So my question would be to Senator Chucky Schumer and Senator Turtleface: exactly, why, sirs, why, sirs, do you not want Oversight of that money? And the answer is very, very simple.

Well, it's not well, it's not that simple, Todd. No, it is, Senator Turtleface. It's very simple, sir. Yeah. We know that that money is not going to Ukraine.

It's going someplace else. And Ram Paul knows it. Everybody on Capitol Hill knows it. They do it all the time.

So I say God bless you, Senator Ram Paul, for at least standing up and slamming on the brakes.

So there may or may not be a vote on Monday. We don't know. But my question is: where are we going with all of this? Where are we going with Ukraine? And this war.

This is beginning to look, and again, it is a stretch right now, I know, but it's beginning to look like Iraq and Afghanistan. Where we're dumping hundreds of millions of dollars and we're sending them weapons, and then we get sucked into the conflict.

Now the Afghanistan and I want to give all of our home school crowd a little bit of a history lesson here. The United States involvement in Afghanistan goes all the way back to the early days of the Reagan administration. where we were actually funding we were giving we were giving weapons to the Afghan leaders, the rebels, so they could shoot down the the Soviet helicopters. And planes, and it was very effective. The Soviets eventually pulled out of Afghanistan, much like Joe Biden did.

So I say good for you, Senator Paul. As the senator went on to say, this is the second spending bill for Ukraine in two months, and this bill is three times larger than the first.

So, where do we draw the line here, ladies and gentlemen? Is there a line to be drawn, or should we just give the Ukrainians a blank check? And is anybody else still sort of weirded out by all of this?

Something is still not right about what's happening in Ukraine right now. And I say that because you have President Zelensky, and he's out there. It's almost like this is some sort of a. I don't know. It's weird.

It's you know, he's doing all the talk shows and the celebrities are flying over there. They're getting the selfies. He's always wearing I mean, everybody else is wearing suits, but he's wearing the whatever jeans and a T-shirt or whatever. And it's almost as if it's like I don't Coachella? Is that it's like a Ukrainian version of Coachella, where it's kind of a celebrity who's who coming in, walking the red carpet, and meanwhile, the the Russians and and Ukrainians are blowing the living daylights out of each other.

It's just all weird.

Okay.

Something is not right, and we don't have the full story yet. We're going to get the full story, but we don't have the full story just yet. Yeah. So I'm curious if you think we ought to continue funding this war. 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. And do you really believe, folks? You know, Americans and military troops are fighting over there. You know what's happening. I don't know who they think they're fooling, but we all know what's going on, and so do the Russians.

Just remember that when the Russians decide they're going to fight back and they're going to retaliate by embracing Cuba, as JFK affectionately called the island nation and the folks south of the border. Eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

Now, Sean Hannity is going at it with Kathy Barnett. And I want to give you an update here. Grace Baker, I know that you have been working with the Barnett campaign, and I want you to give our listeners.

So, I personally reached out to Kathy. She had reached out to me last year, year before last, whenever she was running for Congress. And we were Facebook friends. Haven't had much correspondence at all until last Saturday when I said, Hey, come on the show. Let's have a conversation.

And she said, Absolutely. I gave her your contact information. That was last Saturday, Grace Baker. Yes. And where are we now?

Well, I've been chatting back and forth with her team, and we finally found a date and time that worked for the both of us. And she should be joining our show on Monday.

So Monday, Kathy Barnet will be here. Yes. All right. Very good. Very good.

So we will have her on the program, and we're going to ask a lot of questions. And Fox News Channel, thank you, Grace. Fox News Channel, Sean Hannity specifically, has been leading an ugly campaign against her.

Now, Hannity supports Dr. Oz, who is a flaming leftist. And I will never, ever support any lawmaker who is pro-abortion. Pro-abortion, you don't get any support from Todd Starnes. You don't even get a platform on this radio program.

You just don't. Yeah. Because we don't play that kind of a game here.

So, even on the abortion issue, I have no idea why Hannity and all these other guys have embraced Dr. Oz, mainly because he's a celebrity. Dr. Oz, by the way, buys into the whole critical race theory nonsense. Dr.

Oz, by the way, supported Juicy Smoolet in the fake hate crime attack. It goes on and on and on, not to mention his affirmation of gender reassignment surgeries for children. The children of America will not be safe if Dr. Oz is elected to the U.S. Senate.

And there's another guy on the race, David McCormick, and I'm he is fine. I look, he's I think he would be good. I don't we don't know. There are some questions about Kathy Barnett that she's got to answer. Her team has not done a very good job of that.

But all of these hit pieces that are coming out, you know, that they want you to believe that she's some sort of a Marxist. I don't know, maybe she is, maybe she's fooling everybody. But yesterday, to give you an example of what we're dealing with here. And this is why you've got to do your homework now. You cannot trust anybody in the mainstream media.

And that goes for the folks over at Fox. Everybody's got an agenda, everybody's got a play. Look, I'm a conservative talk radio host. Even I have a play here. But we also do our diligence when it comes to journalism.

So there are allegations that she's not who she says she is, that she really did not serve in the military, that she really was not a college professor. And she did a horrible interview where she was asked about what years were you at this university that you worked at. She couldn't answer that. It was just weird.

So, guess what we did here? We did a little bit of journalism, picked up the telephone, called the communications department at Judson University in Illinois, and I said, Hey, we're working on a story and we need to confirm. Did Kathy Barnett work at your university? Kathy Barnett says she served as an adjunct professor at Judson University. Did she do that?

And guess what happened, folks? The marketing director called me back and gave me the answer. And she said, yes. As a matter of fact, she did work at the university. She was an adjunct professor, and she was very well liked.

As a matter of fact, she left the university in good standing.

So, all the reports, at least about the university stuff that you see out there on the social media platforms, folks just don't believe it. It's not true. It's fake news. And as you know, the only thing worse than fake news coming from the left is fake news coming from the right. And it's just unacceptable.

It really is.

So, anyway, before I hung up, the lady, the director of communications, had a few questions for me. And I told her about the talk show and I told her about our great audience. And she says, you know, it's interesting. She says, I know this story is blowing up out there. And I said, yes.

She says, you are only the second journalist to call to verify any of the information. Yeah. Only the second journalist who had the wherewithal to pick up the phone and call to find out. If information was true or not. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is.

is a verdict that should be rendered on the mainstream media in this country. That's pretty shameful that people aren't even doing basic journalism in our newsrooms, conservative and leftist. All right, we got to take a break. Going to the phone lines here: 844-747-8868. Do you agree with Rand Paul?

Should we be sending money over to Ukraine? And also, are you guys. Does it feel right? Or am I just off the ranch on this one? But something is just still off about Ukraine.

844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show. You're listening to Todd Starnes. Friends, since November of last year, the stock market has plummeted, but gold has been on the rise. Gas prices are insane, the stock market extremely volatile.

All right, people, welcome back to the Todd Starrs Radio Show. Man, we've got a great show for you. Our good buddy Sean Spicer from Newsmax TV is going to be here also.

The Washington Free Beacon did an incredible investigative report. Remember, Circle Back Sake, Little Red Lion Hood. She said that the crackpipes, remember that they were having these safe smoking kits they were giving away to all the homeless people and the drug addicts. And the report was that the crackpipes were not part of the kit. And as a matter of fact, here is Saki back in February.

Cut number two, please. HHS just put out a statement clarifying around some of the reports that crack pipes are not going to be part of the safe smoking kits that are funded by the administration. But can you clarify for us, were they never a part of the kit or were they removed in response to this reporting and this pushback? They were never a part of the kit. It was inaccurate reporting, and we wanted to put out information to make that clear.

Well, now, ladies and gentlemen, we know that to be. Untrue, a falsehood, a White lie, if you will. No, that's not racist. That's what they call them: white lies. We are going to be talking to the reporter, the investigative reporter, who broke this story and actually went out there and discovered that they are giving away taxpayer-funded crackpipes.

Patrick Hoff with Washington Free Beacon is going to be here in just a little while. And also, Carrie Lake from out in Arizona is going to weigh in on the 2000 Mules documentary. Let's go to the phones though. A lot of folks wanting to weigh in today. 844-747-8868.

Let's start in Salem, Oregon. Tom, listening on K-Y-K-N. Tom, what's on your mind? Hi there. Good to talk to you.

Yeah, this gets me revved up and it's surprising it's only Rand Paul that's uh speaking up. about this. But I think they're doing a they're spending so much money, nobody's got a clue of where the heck it's going. Just like with the COVID money, supposedly they that ends up in teaching CRT and whatnot. And so I think it's ki may may go to Ukraine and then come back to the some NGOs in the Democrat Party, you know, helping uh Illegals get into the country.

You know, what the. Who knows where the hell it goes? Tom, and that's why I appreciate Senator Paul standing up and speaking out, not to mention we're in the middle of a significant crisis, economic crisis in this country. You've got moms who can't find any baby formula.

Meanwhile, we're giving pallets of baby formula to the illegal alien mothers that are coming across our border. And my thinking here, fine, you're going to send forty billion dollars to Ukraine. Why don't we just knock off a billion dollars of that and let's figure out how to get baby formula even if we have to buy it from a foreign country? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it's terrible.

And and also I've Called into Grace during the week. Uh George Schoers, I think, should be Registered as uh foreign agent and uh Maybe put under arrest. Look, Tom, George Soros is funding all of this. He is funding the disruption of America right now. And it's only going to get worse, especially come election time, because George Soros is the one funding radical district attorneys who are going to be unleashing an untold number of criminals onto our streets.

Tom, got to run. Thanks for the call and appreciate you listening to us. 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number.

Now, look, I want to share an item with you. And we've got a direct link on our live show blog. In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be heading down to South Mississippi and the Alabama area for a huge scholarship banquet. We're helping out a Christian school. And we've been big proponents of this.

We've got to support Christian education. And this is a great Baptist Academy, the Lighthouse Baptist Academy.

Now, I'm going to be speaking, it's going to be a scholarship banquet. You may not be able to attend, but you can still buy a ticket. They're like, you know, $20, $25. All of this money is going to help give scholarship money to kids so they can get a good, solid, Christian, patriotic education. And I want you to go to ToddSterns.com and click on our live show blog, and you'll be able to support Lighthouse Scholarship or the Lighthouse Baptist Academy and their big scholarship banquet.

This is the Todd Stern Show. Hi, I'm Todd Starn. You know, I really enjoy taking vitamins, but I hate swallowing all of those pills. But that's just how it's been since the 1930s. There's just one problem, though.

Studies show taking supplements in pill form don't work all that well. You don't absorb most of the nutrients, and vitamins you can't absorb are a waste of money. And that's why I've made the switch to Healthy Cell. Healthy Cell is the next generation of dietary supplements, a delicious-tasting, ingestible gel. It's like eating a blueberry dessert, and Healthy Cell gives me more than 165% more absorption than pills.

My favorite is the Healthy Cell REM Sleep Packs. I take one of those gel packs before I hit the bed, and lickety split, I'm sleeping. Sleeping like a baby.

So take my advice, switch to Healthy Cell and fuel your brain and body with great tasting nutrition. Visit healthycell.com, and my listeners get an exclusive 20% off your entire first order at healthycell.com. Use code TOD at checkout. You'd said in February that no money from a $30 million uh harm reduction program would fund distribution of scrap pipes in safe smoking kits. The Washington Free Beacon uh reported that they went to harm reduction s facilities in five cities and all of those If this gift of Ukraine passes, our total aid to Ukraine will almost equal the entire military budget of Russia.

And it's not as if we have that money lying around. We will have to borrow that money from China to send it to Ukraine. The cost of this package we are voting on today is more than the U.S. spent during the first year of the U.S. conflict in Afghanistan.

Congress authorized force and the President sent troops into the conflict. The same cannot be said of Ukraine. This proposal towers over domestic priorities as well. All right, that was Rand Paul yesterday standing up for the American taxpayer. Does it surprise you and I mean, it sh it really shouldn't.

I mean, this is a rhetorical question here. Does it really surprise any of us that he's the only one, the only Republican, willing to stand up? There you go. All right. Welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Program.

And again, we are trying to help out a Baptist Academy called the Lighthouse Baptist Academy. They're doing a big scholarship banquet. They've invited me down Saturday, July 2nd. I'll be speaking. It's going to be a fun, fun night.

And we have all the information over on our live show blog.

Now, look, here's the deal: some of you may not be able to make it to the banquet, but you can still make a donation. And these are good, solid people. They're raising up the next generation of God-loving, patriotic American citizens, young men and young women. And we need to be able to support schools like this.

So, Lighthouse Baptist Academy, we've got all the intel there on our live show blog over at ToddSterns.com. Another great feature we have, and just a reminder: this week we've officially launched our live video feed.

So you'll be able to watch the Todd Starns Radio Program live on ToddStarns.com. You don't have to go to Rumble. You don't have to go to YouTube. But you can go to ToddStarnes.com. We want to make sure all of our material is available for you and is never ever censored, and it's not going to be censored on ToddStarnes.com.

unless there's something wrong with me.

So we're not going to censor ourselves.

So we hope that you folks join us and watch the live show on your laptop or your smartphone. All right, big news coming out of Georgia.

So we all know that President Trump has thrown his support behind David Perdue, who is trailing by double digits in every single poll across the state of Georgia. Word coming in that former Vice President Mike Pence is going to jump into the the battle, and he's going to hold a rally for Governor Brian Kemp, and he's going to do that on the eve of the state's may twenty fourth GOP primary battle.

So this is going to be a Trump versus Pence throwdown. as if this race could not get more contentious. Mike Pence in a statement called Kemp one of the most successful conservative governors in America. Yeah. Oh boy, that is going to be a throwdown.

Let's go to the phones here. 844-747-8868. Joe from Ella J on the line. Joe, how do you feel about Mike Pence coming to town? Todd, I strongly support David Perdue.

And based on being on your show and some other shows, I'm getting calls from all over Georgia. And based on the results I'm getting from people calling into me, it's not a scientific poll, But I want to predict, you're the first one I've done this on the first talk show. I want to predict, based on the results I've gotten from being on your show and some other shows, I predict David Purdue will be elected governor of Georgia. The Attorney General elected will be John Gordon.

Well, hold on, Joe. Hold on. I mean, that's a pretty bold statement. And just about everybody, actually, there's nobody suggesting that Purdue is going to win. I mean, all of the polling data shows him getting trounced.

So what is your ⁇ how are you basing ⁇ what are you basing that statement on?

Well, I think, here's what I base that on. The people I'm talking to, the Purdue people, are really fired up and energized. I think they are going to show up at the polls. In fact, David called me yesterday and said that based on the, and North Georgia, where David is really strong, based on the So far Twice as many people have voted early voting as they did in the last election. And I think that's very good news for David because, you know, where I live, LAJ, and all around me is about 95% Republican.

So, in my opinion, the David Perdue voters are really fired up and energized. And I think they'll show up at the polls. And I don't think the Kemp, in my opinion, and other people I'm talking to, I don't think the Kemp voters are as energized. And also, of course, you know, Donald Trump has endorsed David Perdue. And I think you're going to see Trump after the Pennsylvania primary next Tuesday, which you were talking about.

I think you're going to see Trump really concentrate on Georgia. And, of course, that's going to be good news for David. And I talked to David yesterday, and I've talked to him many times. He and I are good friends. I'll make that clear.

I've never heard him so fired up and energized. He thinks he will win, and I agree with him. And we'll have to. wait and see. But I think the Purdue voter is much more fired up Than the other than the Kemp voter.

And I'm not against Brian Kemp. I'm just strongly for David Perdue. All right. No, I get you, Joe, and we'll see how it goes. It's going to be a slugfest, and we'll see who's got the most votes at the end of the day.

I will say this, though. I would not read I would not read anything into this with regard to the Pence versus Trump matchup. I I I that's that's really not playing here. This is really about how the state was governed through the China virus pandemic, and our phones have have Been lighting up for weeks now with people saying that Brian Kemp did a good job in ushering through and steering the ship through the pandemic. 844-747-8868, that's our toll-free telephone number.

By the way, on that issue of the The election controversy. Dinesh D'Souza. is um Really upset at Fox News Channel.

So, this is a fascinating story.

So, D'Souza's new political documentary, 2000 Mules, it's only been out for a couple of days. already generated ten million dollars in revenue. That's unbelievable. That is the best political documentary in a decade. Breaking the record once held by Dinesh D'Souza.

What's fascinating about this number is that D'Souza has not been able to promote the documentary on Fox News Channel or any other conservative network, and he's not even been allowed to talk about it on the major networks.

So. Again, going back to the power of talk radio, this is why talk radio still matters. Because this is the platform where D'Souza was able to come on. He was on our show talking about 2,000 mules and providing his evidence that he believes shows that, yes, the vote was stolen, and he's got the proof. He's got the goods.

Yeah. So Fox News Channel took a pass on this, but it turns out there's more to that story. He was in touch with some folks on Tucker Carlson's staff, specifically Tucker's executive producer, a guy named Justin Wells. And Justin Wells, through a series of text messages that D'Souza has published. Ripped him a new one and basically told T'Souza, You're finished here.

You'll never be on Tucker's show. That's it. I mean, it was pretty ugly.

So, D'Souza was actually talking about this with Jenna Ellis on her podcast the other day, cut number five. I'm really not quite sure what's going on at Fox. I'm not sure if this is some kind of generic Fox ban on mentioning the movie. I'm not sure if there's something specific to Tucker. This was a little bit of bad blood that went back several months, in which one of our teaser trailers, Tucker, was going to have Catherine Engelbrecht on, and she said, Oh, we have this great teaser trailer for the movie.

And then the Tucker people said to me, Dinesh, you know, we're going to have to cut your trailer from 90 seconds to 45 seconds. And I'm like, Yeah, sure. You want the front part? They want the back part. They're like, No, no, no, we want the middle part.

And I was like, the middle part.

So you kind of want to cut out D'Souza Media, Salem Media, and then you want to cut out the fact that it's part of a movie. I mean, you're basically stealing our content, pretending like you produced the segment. I go, you know, that doesn't really, that's not very fair.

So why don't you just have Catherine on? Don't show the clip because it's not your clip. If you're going to show it, you kind of need to say that it's part of a movie and so on.

So then they became unbelievably not Tucker. This was his producer, Justin B.

Wells. He's like, oh, Danesh, you know, you're finished. You know, you'll never be on Tucker ever again. Abusive type of behavior. And the problem is, when you have a network and it's the only place to go, I think it encourages this kind of arrogance and where people basically feel like they can brutalize you because ultimately you're going to shut up and take it because, you know, otherwise you're going to be banned on Fox News.

And so I decided, you know, I'm not going to say anything about it. But then, when recently Catherine Engelbrech went back on Tucker and they specifically told her, don't say a word about the movie, I thought, well, this is a little too much. The movie is now out. People are talking about it. And think of how weird that Tucker segment was.

They're discussing the content of the movie under explicit directives not to mention the movie. Very creepy. It is weird. I will say this, though. I know Justin Wells.

You know, I worked at Fox News for a number of years. Almost fifteen. And I've had some experience with Justin Wells, the executive producer of Tucker Carlson Show. Look, I enjoy Tucker's show. It's a fine enough show.

I don't have any issues with that. But there's a very competitive spirit inside Fox News channel, especially when it comes to debuting books. And here's, and I've seen this play out many, many times. But let me give you an example.

So let's just say you've got a book and you're going to debut that book on Fox and Friends. That's great. But you know what? You will not be allowed to appear on any other show on the network that day. That's how it works.

They're very competitive within the building. Yeah. Much to D'Souza's point about some of these folks just letting their arrogance get the best of them.

So, anyway, back in 2019, I had written a Culture Jihad. And again, I was a full-time staff member at Fox News. I'm not some, like, you know, just a contributor or just somebody who wrote a book. I'm in the building, I'm part of the tribe. And Tucker's team wanted to debut my book, Culture Jihad, on opening day.

On his show, and I was very excited about that. I thought it would be great. We'd be able to get a lot of exposure, sell a lot of books. And I said, sure. And we had to turn down all the other shows that I would traditionally appear on.

About an hour or so before we were supposed to go on, they canceled. Tucker's show just canceled.

So the launch, my publisher was just, they were just. Dumbfounded. They're like, What in the world? But this is how they operate.

Somebody else came along that they thought would be better, and they put them on, and they basically said, Screw you. Yeah. And they can do it. I mean, that's his show. I can tell you that, you know, it's, you know, there are times when we have breaking news that sometimes we have to bump a guest, but we'll try to reschedule.

But that wasn't what this was.

So I understand exactly how Dinesh D'Souza is feeling. And it's really unfortunate that they did that because it did hurt the launch of the book. And not an apology, not an explanation. It was just, you know, up yours. But that's how they operate.

That's how Tucker's team operates. They're pretty ruthless. And, you know, they have a right to be ruthless. They're what the number one. TV talk show and cable television.

By the way, you can get a copy of Culture Jihad at ToddSterns.com, and I would encourage you to do it. It's a great read, and it really does help you understand what's happening in the country right now. But Dinesh raises a question. He says, I don't know what's going on at Fox right now. And then when you tie back in what's happening with Sean Hannity going, I mean, he is all in for Dr.

Oz, Dr. Oz, who is pro-abortion, anti-gun, and he supports transgender surgeries for children. Yeah. And people just don't People don't understand that. They don't understand what's going on.

Why is Sean turning on Kathy Barnett, who, by the way, made multiple appearances on Fox News channel, but now she's apparently a closet Black Lives Matter activist who supports Barack Obama and hates Donald Trump? That's what they want you to believe. And look, that may be the case. I don't know. But people have not done their homework, and they talk about vetting.

And that's the big argument.

Well, she hasn't been vetted.

Okay, well, whose fault is that? There's something called the Pennsylvania Republican Party. Did anybody bother to vet the candidates who are running in the GOP primary? Oh, that rhymes. Did anybody do that?

I don't think so.

So that's on the G O P. Shame on you folks. All right, look, we've got to uh take a break here. Eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. Again, that is our toll-free telephone number, eight four four seven four seven.

Let's go right to the phones. Martin is listening to us on the Nevada Talk Network. Martin, what's going on today? Hope you're doing good.

Well, Todd, I'm kind of disappointed. I'm disappointed with you. I thought you. Did more research than apparently you have. Dr.

Oz is not an abortionist, he's one of those that. Maybe was one, but he delivered babies, and he was on Hannity the other night expelling it out and bold. black letters He is not an abortionist. He doesn't believe in abortion. He delivered babies.

He's a Pennsylvanian, which I know a little bit about. I lived there. My wife was born there. I lived near a place called Phoenixville. I was in the U.S.

Army hospital near a place called Valley Forge. And I really disagreed with you. You're coming down hard on Hannity.

Well, Hannity is a former Catholic, he says. He was a Catholic. His family was Catholic. And then he decided he didn't want to go to confession anymore. You know, I mean, well, Martin, let me jump in here.

Back in 2000, so as late as 2019, Dr. Oz, and I never said he was an abortionist. I said he was pro-abortion. And in 2019, in 2019, during an interview on the Breakfast Club Radio Show, he said that he was emphatically pro-abortion rights.

So my question is: how did he change? I mean, so he spent most of his adult life supporting abortion. How did he just miraculously change his opinion on that issue just in time for the Senate race? I think by talking to people like Hannity, you could be swayed by him. As a Catholic, he was against abortion, obviously.

Uh and uh uh so I would think uh and I'm not sure if Dr. Oz is a Catholic. I'm Catholic, I'm Swiss Italian. But I don't you know, I don't even get along with people in Pennsylvania because uh they didn't care much for Italians. They're mostly Germans.

And so the point was, I I you know, I saw what he said on that interview and I said, you know, this guy is not lying. If you liked abortion at one time, you can change your mind.

Well, you can change your mind. The question is, did he really change his mind? And he's been struggling to address that issue. And Martin, I think it would go a long way if he sat down and said, you know what? Yeah, I was pro-choice my whole life.

But, you know, something happened, and that something cannot be, oh, a Senate seat is open. I got to run as a pro-life Republican. I hope that's not the reason why. I hope so, also. And I just thought I thought he made a very, very good impression.

All right. Martin, I hate to do this. We got to run. You can hear that music coming in. Hey, give us a call back, Martin.

Whether you agree or disagree, America, that's the whole point of having a conversation. Hey, 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's it! That's right. I love this American ride. Best Constitution, not to any foreign nation.

And no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America, we cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy. In March, inflation hit a forty-year high. Gasoline alone is up 48 percent, and energy prices are up 32 percent over the last year. All right, that was Senator Rand Paul yesterday taking a stand for the American people, the American taxpayers, and stopping this $40 billion aid package to Ukraine.

Welcome, everybody, to the Todd Starns Radio Program. Good to have you with us today on this Friday edition of the show. We've got a great hour ahead. 844-747-8868 is our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

I know Dino is on the line. He wants to weigh in about Rand Paul listening to us on Nuga Radio, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Dino, what's going on? You gotta love Iran Ball. He's just a fantastic guy.

He's a true American like you. And by the way, your colleague did a heck of a job Monday and Tuesday covered for you. I hope you feel better.

Now, here's the deal. We all sit here and talk about what we're gonna you know, what we're upset with. But like ABC people, they stick together, they get stuff done.

Now the cartels are doing four hundred million a week in narcotics. They're making $4 million off of illegal aliens. That's a mess down there. You know, the president's looking for more voters. And we gotta take look at gas.

Can't even get baby formula. I see these moms on T V crying. That breaks my heart. We got to do something, Todd. I don't know what to do, but we've got to do something.

Dino, we do. I know Senator Rick Scott wants the president to resign basically because of inflation. I mean, we are heading to a very dangerous point in this country. You have farmers out there warning Americans that the food shortages, actual food shortages, are coming. And we're not talking about, you know, not being able to get the little Debbie Swiss miss rolls.

We're talking about significant food that you need to survive. We're going to be facing some shortages in this country, and it's going to get ugly.

So we've got to get prepared. Dino, I've got to run. I am so sorry, but give us a call back. I do need to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Our good friend, Sean Spicer, he is a host of Spicer and Company, the top program over at Newsmax TV.

Sean, first, good to have you with us. Second, congratulations. You guys kicked CNN's butt the other day. Yeah. Well, it's always good to be with you.

It was, well, look, you know, the Trump rallies bring it in, and So it was great to see that happen on a Friday night. And obviously, people know where to tune in when they can't see news that Other stations won't cover it. We put it out there. We let you decide. And so it was great.

Well, I think that's a brilliant strategy. I mean, the content's been there and just keeps getting better. And now, with the graphics packages, and you know, it's just a great, fun-looking network, and people really are responding. You know, Sean, we just had a caller on from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and he brought up this issue involving the baby formula. And, of course, Kat Kamik came out and announced: hey, guess what?

Mom's dad, you won't be able to get the formula, but the illegal alien babies are getting the formula. Compliments of the American taxpayer. Yeah, well, you've got Congresswoman Kat Kimmick from Florida out there. She's posting pictures. that came in from a border agent in Ursula.

crossing station showing that uh that you know, their their their shelves are full, Todd. And I mean, it just it shows you what the priorities are in this country. We don't we don't protect the border, we let people in, we give them more than our own people have here.

So It's uh It's sad and disappointing. Sean Spicer on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Sean, Gensaki, it is her farewell tour today. I mean, you once held that job. What is Gensaki going through right now?

Well, I'm actually I'm watching the screen as we're talking now. It was supposed to start at one o'clock, it's been delayed a little bit. Um I think there it's two different things. I got asked this earlier by some colleagues of mine. And um and I said, look, it it's very different.

I mean Jen's prior job was at CNN before she came to the White House, and she's headed off to MSNBC. Her successor, Corinne Jean-Pierre, came from MSNBC and is married to someone at CNN. These folks have a very chummy. collegial, friendly relationship with the press, That was clearly not the case when I was there. And so I spent my last day with the press staff, the communications team, talking to the President and then obviously trying to take in that last day there at the White House.

I wouldn't expect I wouldn't expect anything less than a bunch of applause, maybe some cake This afternoon as Jen departs. I mean, these these are They didn't look at this like an adversarial position. They look at it like a a buddy of theirs. It's cocktail hour at the White House in the Brady Press briefing. I will say this, just two quick points.

Five weeks ago, she announced, or the news came out, that she was going to MSNBC. That's the first time in history that that's happened. And I know several folks Have tried to rationalize that and said, Oh, it's normal. I didn't start at Newsmax until two and a half years after I left. Dana Prino, I think, was years before she went to Fox.

She went to a PR agency. She went to a book publishing company. She did a lot of other things for Sarah. I talked to Sarah Sanders. The other day, and I said, Hey, just remind me, when you, after you left, how soon after Fox did you start as a contributor?

And she was like, Oh, gosh, it was months. But since SACI was announced, you've continued to brief every day. And I find it such a conflict of interest that she's staring down. At whether it's Kristen Welker or Kelly O'Donnell from MSNBC, knowing that those are her future colleagues, and they're looking back, saying, okay, we can't damage the good. Let's make sure that we keep her looking good.

And then she's also disparaged other networks and shut out other people. I mean, so my point in all this is that it has been an unbelievable conflict of interest with happened the last five weeks, and we see virtually no pushback From anyone in the media? I mean, quite frankly, if you're if you're the boss, you're President Biden, you haul in your press secretary, it's like, what's going on here? You're going to MSNBC? Yeah, I am.

Okay, goodbye. I'm just not quite sure why she was given this long farewell tour.

Well, because think about what's happened. I mean, she has spent the last five weeks you know, sitting at the table at the White House press court, you know, dinner where she got feted and and she was been going around doing podcasts and I mean, it's been a brand promotion. And I I just Look, I I have nothing personal um she was very kind to me as was the team during the twenty sixteen transition. But for all of the concerns that the press had about ethical concerns and conflicts of interest, they sort of have been very chummy with this administration and sort of not said a peep. You know, I met Jen.

Jen and I got to know each other back in 2007 when she was working on the Obama campaign. And we had a good working relationship out on the campaign trail. And, you know, she was always very kind to me. But clearly, something has changed over time. And now, the replacement, she's already been out there calling at least one other network a bunch of racists and doubling down on those comments.

You wonder if we're just going to get the same story, just a new person. Oh, yeah. I mean At least Jen, I mean, they they both have cut uh their teeth in in politics. I mean, I I think it's going to be very similar, but Corinne worked on several campaigns, so she's been around. the rough and tough, if you will, of the campaign world.

So I um So I I just uh I I think you are going to get some more of the same, but it'll be interesting to see what favorites she plays She she at least in some of her trial Briefings. did seem to go around the room a little bit more. Jen stuck straight to the front row of buddies. Sean Spicer on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line. Sean, the campaign season is cranking up.

I know we've got a big, big primary battle coming up in Pennsylvania. How do you see things going as we move towards the midterms? Do you think the Republicans still have the upper hand? Oh, yeah, there's no question. The Republicans have the upper hand.

I mean, I'd break this down into.

sort of uh I think governors are going to do very well this year. I think the House of Representatives is pretty much a lock. It's just a question of how big of a margin. Um The Senate is what worries me a little bit, and I think you see that now with respect to Pennsylvania. there is some very serious concerns about Tathy Barnett candidacy as she comes in these final few days.

And I just I mean, the the stuff that's come to to light, the tweets, the questions about her biography, the positions that she's taken against President Trump and some other normal conservative positions are ones that deserve scrutiny.

Now the problem is that she has not sought to go out there and correct the record on any of this. were ninety hours away. And I get why they may have chosen that strategy. But that concerns me and it should concern Pennsylvania voters. because she I I think that if we don't keep that Pennsylvania seat, Right now, it's a hold.

To me, it's a Republican.

So, you got to hold it if you have any chance of wanting to take back the majority. And right now, Um Right now, I think that's from what I've seen, if she were to come out of this primary, it would put in question whether or not that would be a hold. And then you got to find Another seat, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, just to get back to EVA, never mind attempting to try to get the majority. No, no, I hear you on that. And we're going to be interviewing Kathy on Monday show.

And you're right, there are a lot of questions out there. What concerns me, though, is the slinging of the mud and the fake news reports coming out. And just as an example, you know, there were some allegations: oh, she's really not, she really wasn't a professor at Judson University.

Well, we called, and sure enough, she was, in fact, an adjunct professor at Judson University. The director of PR at the school said, you know, it's interesting, you're one of two people from the media that's actually called to verify that information.

So it seems to me, Sean, that the GOP in Pennsylvania did a great disservice to the voters by not vetting everybody from day one. Tom, Todd, Todd, let me just stop you there. I've been doing this. That's not the job of the party. And and it I really?

Because we do it here in Tennessee, we vet all the candidates. No, you don't. No, you don't. No, you don't. Oh, yeah, we do.

There is no party I've been doing this for thirty years that vets the candidate. It just, there's no apparatus that exists to do that. I mean, the only time that that seriously happens is the opposition research teams at the presidential level. And that's fine, Sean. And let me stop you here for a second.

Let me stop you. That's fine. If Kathy Barnett is, in fact, a Black Lives Matter activist, a fascist, disguised as a Trump supporter, then let's show the evidence. But I'm tired of these tweets coming from people saying, because I don't have a dog in this hunt. But I do get concerned when you have people out there saying, hey, we're going to release the information.

Release the information. We're all grown-ups. And I look, first of all, I give you a lot of credit for taking the time. Not many people are doing that. I agree with you.

So let's just get back to where we agree. I am 100% in agreement. That that if you're going to make an accusation, make sure that you've got you're one hundred percent, right?

So if you're going to say that she didn't go to Judson College and speak to whatever, then you better know that she didn't or you better have called there. And I hats off to you for doing it. Right, so I want to give you credit for that. But what concerns me Is that when, for example, Selena Zito, who I've known for a long time, is a straight-up. Report, you know, a journalist that has done some great work said: Here are five questions that I sent them.

And she put it out there, she's been doing this for every candidate. And we asked. you know, here's just your bio stuff. And the response that they got For stuff that she Kathy Burnett put on her own bio was, as you can imagine, she is trying to seek a level of privacy. And it's like, well, no, no, you put this information on your bio.

She's just trying to seek to confirm it as she did with the other candidates. I agree with you.

I'm not for making up accusations, and all I'm saying is it's incumbent upon a candidate, as it's been for every other candidate seeking any office. That if people are questioning Positions that you've taken, or positions on your or your biography, you're able to justify. If she can, God bless her. I have nothing, I like you, I don't have a dog in this bite, I don't live in Pennsylvania, I just want to hold the seat. And what my concern is, is that ninety six hours out of an election, There are serious concerns that are being brought up about her bio and positions that she's taken on BLM, the President, et cetera.

If she can justify them, God bless her. And she should get up there. She should do your show. She should do Newsmax. She should do everywhere she can and say, here's home and respond to any of these.

But we hold every one of those other candidates to the fire as well about children. And so my only point is, You know, when the response that they're giving to media outlets, and that's what Selena Zido printed. the exchange with them, they said, you know, we're not going to answer you. You look at some of these other people who are trying to get answers, and that's where I agree with you, but I'm also saying if you're gonna if you're if you're her, And you're gonna Claim to have done certain things or taken positions, you better be able to defend them. Yeah, and the same for Dr.

Oz as well. I mean, everybody. Everybody. Oh, Sean, we got it. And he's going to be on the show today.

Good. And I'm going to, I mean, same thing. Tune in tonight. Like, my view is these guys, if there's an attack against them, I asked the same thing of Dave McCormick the other night. Here's the charge against you.

How do you answer it? But I'm going to give everybody one of these every one of these guys comes on my show at least. The opportunity, I'm going to tell them what the hit is against them. And I'm going to say, I want you to answer to the people. Tell us why that's true or false, or how you come down on this.

So I agree with you, but I'm going to give them a chance to answer it. And if they want to duck it, Then that just shows you. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And that should have been done by the media.

There are lots of missteps in all of this where people should have been out there getting all of this information. And you're right, Barnett's got to answer the questions. And we're not going to let anybody duck on this program either.

So that'll be fun tonight. Sean, we got to run. I want to tune into yours. We got to run, my friend. We're late for a break.

All right, Sean Spicer, Spicer and Company tonight. And you got to watch it. He's going to have Dr. Oz, and we're going to get hopefully to the bottom of some of these big questions. But I'm telling you, folks, if you're going to sling mud, you better have your facts.

That's all I'm saying. I don't care if you support Oz or Barnett or McCormick. It doesn't matter. If you support Kemp or Purdue, facts matter, especially for conservatives. All right, we got to take a break.

We'll be right back. From the front lines of the Culture War, it's Todd Starns. You've known in your gut something was not right about the 2020 election.

Well, you're right. And here's the proof you've been waiting for. In Dinesh D'Souza's explosive new documentary, 2000 Mules, you'll see the jaw-dropping evidence of exactly how the Democrats pulled off the biggest heist in American history. Drawing on meticulous research from Election Integrity Group True the Vote, 2000 Mules uses both cell phone geotracking data and video evidence to uncover a massive network of illegal ballot trafficking in all five key swing states. Enough election fraud to change the outcome of the 2020 election.

So, Ray, just grab some apple brandy and drink some iced tea, and you'll be back to normal in no time at all. All right, welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Show. Shocking story out of the Washington Free Beacon. And I love this news publication. They do great investigative journalism.

Now, we heard Jinsaki say that there were no crack pipes in those smoking kits. that are being distributed all over America.

Well, that got the folks over at the Washington Free Beacon to thinking, let's investigate. There is a fascinating story. We have a link to it in our live show blog. The writer is Patrick Hoff, and he is on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line right now. Patrick, good to have you on the show today.

Thanks for having me on, Todd.

So I want you to tell our listeners what you and the folks at the Free Beacon discovered was actually inside these kits. Yes, so we hit the streets to figure out what exactly is in these smoking kits. For ourselves, Uh And and and what I saw wa wa was really horrifying. I mean, it First of all, it's very obvious that the smoking fits contain pipes. That was obvious all along, but we just wanted to go out and prove it just to show the media, to show the body administration.

Uh that these fact checks were ridiculous. It was just peddling White House talking points. Um A safe smoking kid. It contains a pipe. But a anyway, I I saw so so many hor horrifying, horrifying uh things.

I mean, these they're they're called harm reduction organizations. They're all around the country. Uh a lot of them take local government money. Uh some of them are directly affiliated with the government. Essentially, they hand out uh needles, they'll hand out these Some hand out these smoking kids.

So you'll just see these addicts walk in, they get this drug paraphernalia, they walk out, they use the drugs. There's no offer of rehabilitation. The whole idea behind this is just hand up this clean drug equipment so it's a little bit safer as they slowly kill themselves with these deadly drugs.

Now, Patrick, where did you guys go and how many of these kits did you find that had the crankpipes? Yeah, so we went to five different cities. We went to DC, Baltimore, Richmond, New York, and Boston. All the kids we got there had. Ad pipe, several pipes, crack pipes, and meth pipes.

No problem. You walk right in, you ask. Um Some of the Organizations they put you in their system because it's approved by the state, right?

So, drug paraphernalia is illegal in most states. Uh And essentially, they'll give you a get it a jail-free card. They put you in their system.

So, in case you get caught with. With these pipes or these needles or any sort of illegal abstract material, you just show this to the cops and they're like, Okay, you're good to go. This is approved by the government. Wait, what? Patrick, if you or I were to be pulled over and they found a crack pipe in the car, we'd be behind bars right now.

Yeah, I mean, it depends the state or what the charge is, but yeah, it is against the law. But if you're in this program, it's no problem. Wow, this is fascinating. I'm curious, how did so? Did you come up with this idea, or did the editors call you in and say, Patrick, we got a job for you?

My reputation was on the line after that February story. I mean, the White House called me a liar. The media had these peddled their talking points.

So I said, All right, well, I'm going to go out and do it myself. I'll I'll show exactly what this case smoking kits are and we had no doubt in our story. We knew what was in there. We just wanted to go out and get it ourselves. Todd, I did not think it'd be as easy as it was.

It was so simple. I would just walk right in there. And I didn't think it was this prevalent. I mean, There are stories, there's been stories over the years about this in Seattle, San Francisco. I thought it was more of the lefty, you know, hippie city thing, but no, I mean, DC, Baltimore, all around.

And I'm sure there's more that we're looking into now. And a lot of this receives local government funding, but now with Fides' HHS program, it's going to receive $30 million of federal. Grant money by the end of the month here. And that is the question: Are we the taxpayers paying the bill for the crackpipes? Yes, so this HHS program starts at the end of the month Uh What we did is we said this program is set to fund crack pipes because they listed these so-called safe smoking kits.

And we reported, well, this is what a safe smoking kit is, and it contains a crack pipe. The White House said, oh, no, no, no. we don't contain the pipes. That's not a thing. Don't worry about it.

The media pushes the narrative.

Now, hold on. Hold on. It's very automated. Hey, we've actually got that audio. This is Gin Saki back in February.

Cut number two, please. HHS just put out a statement clarifying around some reports that crack pipes are not going to be part of safe smoking kits that are funded by the administration. But can you clarify for us, were they never a part of the kit or were they removed in response to this reporting and this pushback? They were never a part of the kit. It was inaccurate reporting, and we wanted to put out information to make that clear.

Now, just to be clear, Patrick, back when I was a journalist, I get paid for my opinion now, but back when I was a journalist, if somebody complained, they said there was something inaccurate in my story, they would call the editor. We would sit down and we would go through the notes. Did that happen? Did anybody from the White House call the Washington Free Beacon? No, no, no.

I mean, we reached out to HHS and Samsung and worked with the story. But once they started calling it disinformation, they had nothing to say to us. And they didn't give any proof. Obviously, they made this up as they went along. I mean, we published that story on Monday, then it went viral, and by Tuesday, they're just saying disinformation, disinformation, with no explanation at all as to how that is.

And by Wednesday, HHS puts out a statement, and then Zach doubles down and says, oh, they were never, ever a part of the kick. But it's like I said, like very obvious now, based on the story, they are in the kit. That's the whole point.

Well, of course. As a matter of fact, now they're calling it a conspiracy theory. Let's listen to their explanation now. Cut number one. You said in February that no money from a $38 million harm reduction program would fund distribution of crack pipes in safe smoking kits.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that they went to harm reduction facilities in five cities, and all of those facilities had crack pipes in their kits. HHS would not say which programs had applied for funding, and the recipient list is not out yet.

So I'm just wondering if the White House can say if any taxpayer dollars pay for these crack pipes. No federal funding has gone to it. And is there any oversight? To ensure that when that money goes out in the program, these organizations will not use federal dollars for crackpipes. This policy does not allow for crackpipes to be included.

I would just note that this is a bit of a conspiracy theory that's been spread out there. It's not accurate. There's important drug treatment programs for people who have been suffering from what we've seen as an epidemic across the country, and money is not used for crackpipes.

So they're either calling you Ultra MAGA, Patrick, or Alex Jones Jr., you conspiracy theorist, you. No, it's complete nonsense. And even and I don't think the media is going to buy their narrative this long. We'll see. But I mean, even Glenn Kessler, the fact checker at the Washington Post, he shared our story yesterday.

He shared the Free Beacon story, and he did a fact check on the original one.

So it's At this point, it's hard to really buy into it. They're obviously making this stuff as they go along. They were faced with pressure, and they're just absolutely caving.

Well, it's a terrific story, and you should be commended for doing some great journalism and really alerting the American taxpayers: hey, this is what your money is going to fund. And as a congressman said, it turns out, and it's true, it's easier to get the government to buy crackpipes than it is baby formula. I didn't see that. Yeah, that's funny. Oh, man.

Unreal time. All right, Patrick, we got a link to your story over in our live show blog. Congratulations and keep us updated on all of this. Thank you so much, Dodd. I appreciate you having me on.

All right, Patrick Hoff from the Washington Free Beacon. Great journalist. Great job. Can you imagine, though, Grace? Where's Grace?

Grace, could you imagine? Hey, Grace, let's. Let's do some sort of, you know, Grace, we had to turn Grace's microphone off because we're expecting some bad weather in the area, and the emergency alert system went off right as we were turning on our microphones. Grace, no, you don't have to hide under the desk. It's okay.

We've got time. We have time. I think we're clear now. Are you sure? I think, I can't promise.

All right. Well, if it is, you know, we. It's okay. I just don't want people to have to hear that. But could you imagine if I called you and, you know, we do a pre-show meeting and a post-show meeting.

All right, Grace, we're going to send you down to the Memphis Shelby County Health Department, and I want you to go and see if they'll give you a crackpipe. I'm not sure how my husband would feel about that assignment. Like, hey, honey, I got to go run this errand for work. What are you doing? Getting a crackpipe.

A crackpipe. My boss told me to. That's it. Just don't let Merlo grab it and run away with it. No, no, no.

Oh, could you imagine? No.

Well, she'll just grab my hairbrush or something and just start running around the house with it. I'm like. No, honey. Don't grab them. By the way, you know what?

We're going to save our Jinsaki story for just a moment. I've got to get to this. I've got to get, you know what? We're going to take a break and we'll regroup here. And our apologies, the alert system kind of threw us all for a loop.

But bad weather all over the place. And you folks in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, geez a loo, you guys got hammered yesterday, and we've got a lot of the video from that storm up on our website over at ToddSterns.com. All right, where is that story? Here we go.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, you know that we here on this program are at the tip of the spear when it comes to covering the culture war in America. And we bring you stories that many others are not talking about. And that's what we do here. And we're very honored with and humbled by that responsibility we have.

So, I am here to announce that there has been yet another new gender created in America. Again, another new gender created in America.

Now, let's go back to what I was taught at Hope P. Sullivan Elementary School in South Haven, Mississippi. That's when we were told in grade school, public grade school, that God made. Male and female. Two sexes.

Two genders. Yeah. Now there are about 70 or 80 that are made in the image of social media. And the latest make-believe identity is something called cake gender. And no, I'm not making this up.

It's cake gender. It's all the rage on TikTok.

So here's how it works. A person who identifies as cake gender. Yeah. Feels light and fluffy and sweet. This is the newest gender, Grace Baker.

Cake the cake gender. Oh, my goodness.

Now. Um This is what happens when you reject the Bible's teachings on absolute truth. You get chaos in the culture. What kind of cake are we talking?

Well, I'm not sure. And again, I'm not sure if there is a gender variant within the cake sexual world. I mean, you got devil's food cake, you've got sheet cake, you've got seven-layer cake, and possibly fruit cake, which might be incredibly inappropriate. Or cupcakes. Yeah, cupcakes.

So, what kind of a cake are you? A cupcake? Sugar-furry. I mean, it depends on how you frost your cake, I suppose. Do you use the cream cheese icing, the royal icing?

Oh, no. You see, I'm an old fan. I love the vanilla cream. That's my favorite. Classic, I see.

I see.

So, anyway, I'm probably not the best person to be talking about cake sexuals, mainly because just until a few days ago, I was under the impression that pansexuals had an unnatural affection to cast iron skillets, which turned out not to be accurate. I mean, we all love cake, but not like that. True.

So, anyway, we've got the video up on our website, ToddSterns.com, of someone who claims to be cake sexual. I never thought I'd hear these words on the radio.

Well, look, I mean, look, just think about this now, Grace. What happened? God defined marriage, right? Male and female. You may vehemently disagree with that idea.

That is the definition. But that's the definition. That's just how it's been since the dawn of time. But then there's marriage, which is different.

So then the Supreme Court comes along and says, we're going to redefine what God defined. Yes. And what was the concern from the Christians? They said, well, wait a second. If you do that, you are opening up a Pandora's box.

And the other side said, oh, just stop it. Just stop it. You worry, we're just going to limit it to gay marriage. That's okay.

Well, wait a second now. Who are you to limit what marriage is? Who are you, LGBT person, to now say, oh, we have to have a limit on what we can and cannot call marriage? Yeah, there's no way. No, there's no way.

The Supreme Court opened up that door now. And so.

So now you've got the cake gender people.

So somebody's probably going to get married to, I don't know, a jar of Betty Crocker Frosting. And you think that's ludicrous. There's actually a story about an Alabama man who married his MacBook computer. Got a virus. It had a horrible ending.

And then, just kidding, I guess they're still married. I don't know. And then you've got the echosexuals who are literally having sexual relations with trees and potted plants. It is an actual thing.

So, all that to say, this is why we have to address this issue. Because, as ludicrous as it is, It's an anything goes society right now. It is. Anything goes. Can I just say this?

And we got to take a break here. Um. We don't have a diversity problem in America. We don't have a tolerance problem in America. We have a freaking mental health problem in America.

We'll be right back. It is Radio Free America. Todd Starnes. We all know someone who's all work and no chill. Trust me.

That used to be me. But then I found Galaxy Z Fold 4, which allows me to do more things at once. Much better.

Now I can take video calls from my phone and use it to take notes at the same time. Wait, are you at? Or check my shopping list while ordering more scented candles and face masks on the foldable, expansive screen. Don't take your to-do list one line at a time, multitask so you can relax. Click the banner to get your Galaxy Z Fold 4.

All right, let's get to the phones here. Charles in North Carolina, WSIC, our great affiliate there. Charles, what's on your mind? Hey, Todd, good afternoon. Todd, um On Sunday I watched the movie Two Thousand Mule.

in its entirety and It just kind of confirms about confirmed everything that I had suspected all along. But um As I watch this, I You know, I just thought for people. Yeah. Call this the big line. And he knows caught us conspiracy theorists to that sort of thing.

If I took you. As somebody who is objective, say you lived in Switzerland. And you were adjured to decide the the the legality of the US presidential election in twenty twenty. And I use that movie and the data in that movie as my evidence. I think you would be conf y uh you would be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Just a lecture.

Yeah. So my question is this. Everything that's been done to the country intentionally from the economy. foreign policies, what was done with the pandemic. How do you?

I know he can't go back and re-litigate the election. But how do you feel like we should use this movie and the things in this movie? The Republicans should. Uh used it against Joe Biden.

Well, that's a terrific question. And you're right. We can't go back. We can't just undo what's been done. The question is: can those people be punished?

And I think they must be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I think the behavior was treasonous. My concern, Charles, is what happens if the same thing happens in the midterm elections?

Now, you and I and everybody in this country know the Democrats are going down in a firestorm in November. But what happens if they don't? What happens if they are able to fix the vote again? At that point, I think you're going to see good, decent church-going folks rising up and marching in the streets. I think there will be unrest if the Democrats are able to pull off yet another steal.

Well, I agree with you. And what concerns me, Todd, is I think that's probably what they're planning because right now, yeah. You know, I grew up during the I saw Jimmy Carter. You know, he was, I was in high school when Carter was president. He was a good, decent, moral man, but he was just in copper.

Charles? What was he going to say? Yeah, Charles, I hate to do this. We're up against a hard break here, and I am terribly sorry. But it's a mess.

It is a mess. And I'm telling you, they better hope and pray they fix those election issues, or else it's going to get ugly in November. I'm just, that's just the way it is. All right, got to take a break here, folks. We'll be right back.

Ever since I got the new Galaxy Z Flip 4, I've been learning all these new tricks with my dog Finn. Like, how to take the best selfies at the park. I just set my phone down, put it in flex mode, and capture hands-free picks from multiple angles. Or how to capture our training sessions for his followers. I simply wave my hand to start recording video.

Good boy! Plus, the Z Flip 4 is compact and fits perfectly in my pocket. Oh no, no! Click the banner to get your Galaxy Z Flip 4. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starnes.

All right, hello, people of the planet Earth. Good to have you with us today, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Tom Stearns Radio Show, wherever you might be, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. And by the way, welcome to all of our brand new TV listener TV viewers over at ToddSterns.com. You can now watch all three hours of our radio program over on the website.

Just click on the live tab at the top of the page, and you'll be able to watch us free of charge. Again, making that move to consolidating all of our efforts on our website, which, by the way, outside in the talk radio world, we are second only to Sean Hannity in readership.

So that's on you. Thank you guys so very much. And we are just honored that you would hang out with us three hours a day, Monday through Friday. All right, some sad news from. From the White House.

Today is a day that, quite frankly, will live in infamy among Democrats. Jin Saki. It is her last day here at the White House. She is no longer going to be White House press secretary. She is leaving the White House.

And what is that godforsaken music that's playing? Grace Baker. I thought this was the exact music you requested, Todd, for this. No, you know that I hate that song. I hate that song, Grace Baker.

I didn't think you particularly liked sake either, so I thought it was fitting. No, well, look, and you know what? That's a fair statement.

So we're doing this for Circleback for Little Red Lion Hood. Pasaki Pasaz Pa-Tat. By the way, they say that the standing room only crowd in the White House press briefing room. And people are crying. They're people with tears in their eyes.

I'm sure they're holding a candlelight vigil for her. As a matter of fact, according to the White House pool report, somebody actually said, thank you for your service. No, they do not. As if she was storming the beaches at Normandy.

Well, let me just say, this is kind of the death of her career, isn't it?

So I think we do need to be holding a memorial for her. There is more of an audience in that press briefing room than there will be for whatever show she's going to get over at MSDNC. It's got to be better than CNN, though. Got to be.

Well, that's true. That's a fair point. Could have go to one of them. I just don't know. I mean, would you watch anything?

I mean, she's just got this grating, nasally, whiny little voice. I just don't know. Unpopular opinion, but I'm not the biggest fan of. press secretaries going on to be political pundits. After the fact, well, you know, just in general, Spicy got a little, you know, Spicer got a little spicy with us.

He did. And he was going off about how, you know, well, all these press secretaries going over for CNN, MSD, and C, and I'm like, yeah, well, you're at Newsmax. Yeah. And what's her head? Perino is over at Fox News channel.

And Tony Snow, the late, great Tony Snow, was over at Fox News back in the day. You got Kayleigh McEnany. Kayleigh McEnany. That's the one I was thinking of. I'm thinking just more recent, like people who, you know, they were just pressing, you know, I mean, she's literally hopping from the White House over to the TV studio.

I'm like, come on, lady, give it a little time because, I mean, there is no way you're going to be remotely. Unbiased.

So you don't like make it mechany? I like her. I like her. I just don't love that she, you know.

So that's McAnese. She's not the morning show blonde. Who's the. Oh, that's Ainsley. All right.

I get them all confused. Is it just me? I'm sure there's somebody else. Hello, somebody in the audience. Yes, it's hard to keep the blondes in, you know.

That's why I dyed my hair red. I got into it with one of the blondes and I couldn't remember her name, so I just called her ma'am. No.

Oh, yeah, we were live on the air. And she was coming after me. Oh, she was a big pro-abortion rights chick. I mean, I just mainly blame the news networks for that. I mean, what's their deal with blondes?

Yeah. Trying to say something against brunettes. I like brunettes. I like red hair. Redheads.

Hey, at least Jinsaki's got red hair. Makes him distinguishable. But I'm surprised that Joy Reed and Al Sharpton didn't raise a holy you-know-what. That's a good question. Because you know, she's a little pale.

Pale face. Oh my gosh. A little caucasian there. I'm just saying, they don't like caucasia. Because they like her replacement.

No, they want diversity.

Well, they and they like her replacement.

So they're like, come on over here. We'll get you out of the way.

Well, the one. Oh, so have we figured out why Corinne Jean-Pierre was hired? Was it because she's a lesbian, she's a woman, or because of her skin color? Have we figured that out yet? I don't know.

I'm still trying to remember her name, to be honest with you. Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre. I like saying Jean Pisaki. Pisaki.

I did love her name. I loved making fun of her. Anyway, but you know, back in the day, she was a lot of fun. We were out on the campaign trail together, traveled all over the country, and we even flew to Hawaii together. I will say, I have felt for her because I don't know how on earth you defend what this administration's doing right now.

And she's not doing a good job, but I don't think anybody could. It's nuts. It's absolute nuts. Unbelievable. By the way, our pal from Wolf River Popcorn dropped by the other day, brought more popcorn.

Where is it? And our pal, this is great.

So every now and again, this big, huge delivery truck will just show up right in front of our Muse bunker, and it's from the William Sausage Company. And folks, I'm telling you, it is the best. They don't pay us to say this. It's the best sausage in America. And it's made right here in Tennessee, which is why it's so good.

No, wait, you skimmed over my question. If the popcorn guy came, where's the popcorn? It's not here. It's not here. Did you take it?

I'm not saying. But I did. Because every time they bring popcorn for yours truly, it never gets to yours truly. It was in your office. We just took it from your office.

Yes, in my office. After the meeting. And sitting there.

So I love our listeners because they bring us food, which is great, but I'm trying to lose weight. I'm on a diet, and they're bringing us all this great food.

Well, I mean, they could bring you salads, I'm sure. Anyway, I want to say, so the delivery guy, and you know how it is in New York City, the truck will come by and a couple of dresses will fall off, and people, you know, kind of wink, wink, nod, nod. Back in the day, you know, a couple of dresses. Oh, I don't know what that means. What you got to do, go back and watch some of the mob movies.

And so, anyway, I think the same thing happens with the sausage because he brings us three cases of delicious hot Williams sausage. It's so good. It's in the freezer right now. I'm loving it. Anyway, our buddy over at Wolf River Popcorn dropped by, and he says, Todd, every time you mention us on the air, we get tons of calls from all over America.

Well, good. It's good popcorn. It is a great popcorn, Wolf River popcorn here in Memphis, Tennessee. It's a mom, dad, and son. And I guess they're probably in their 60s or early 70s.

The son, probably in his 30s, I guess. And that's what they do, the three of them, and they do it all. And it's the best freaking popcorn in America. I love the white cheddar mixed with the barbecue season. And caramel.

Oh, my gosh. Mouthwater. Good stuff. All right. Anyway, I'm not otherwise to say thank you guys.

Thank you, Williams Sausage, for dropping off the crates of sausage. And also, thank you, Wolf River Popcorn.

So everybody who brings this food. Yes, and we have Vicki Gandy. I was about to say we got cookies. My realtor brought by homemade chocolate chip cookies today. And I have cooked way back on sugar, but I did have one cookie and it tasted like the sweetest, best thing I've ever eaten.

Speaking of that, I need to go back before we go to the phones here. I want to address something that happened in the last hour when we were talking about the cake sexuals, the people who identify as cake. Yes. The cake gender people. What happens if they're gluten-free?

I said sugar-free. I'm telling you. It's a real conundrum. You see, when you start getting to the gluten, people take that real seriously. And they don't like you joking about gluten.

Because it's for some people it really hurts though. Yeah, it's like you know, literally. It's like when you find out somebody's a member of the mafia, you're like, okay, just give them a wide berth. I feel that way about vegans. Oh, vegans and glutens.

No, I don't really feel that way about the glutens because I've been one of them. But vegans, I'm like, okay. All right, let's go to the phones here: 844-747-8868. Ruth in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Ruth, what's going on in Tulsa?

Well, we've had a lot of rain lately, a lot of rain. But um things are well. Wears a buckle on the Bible belt, you know that. Yes, you are. We really are.

And I'll tell you something. We have some very great pastors and teachers here. And so they discuss things like getting your life in order and whatever. And it dawns on me what we're talking about. Cultural chaos.

And and I remember as a kid It was never this kind of um If you thought those nutty thoughts, you certainly wouldn't speak them. If you went down to the welfare system and got food stamps, you certainly wouldn't tell anyone. and how far we've come as a society And the worst part of it is, is it it kills the cohesiveness that we had The reason these people want to erase the Constitution and erase the Ten Commandments and erase Christianity is because. When you have a standard of behavior, that everyone adheres to, there's a predictability in society and in culture you wouldn't have otherwise. And then that predictability gives you great parameters to explore and open businesses and try different careers or move different places.

But once you take away that security of the expected and the predictable, Everybody shuts down. Yale did a study on kids and they took the fences off a playground And all the kids congregated to the center of the playground. Once they put those fences back up, the kids were at the very edge. Right by the fences. And I think that says a lot about where we are right now.

Ruth, that's a great point, and I think there is a lot to that. Again, we talk about faith and values on this program because that is ultimately the problem in our country. It's not a political problem, it's a spiritual problem that's facing the country. Ruth, we've got a skedaddle here, so thank you so much for the call, and thanks for holding on. And Ruth is absolutely right.

Folks, I want to tell you about our good friends over at Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

Broadcasting along the shores of the mighty Mississippi River, and we are so glad to be here and not in New York City anymore. Good to be back home. Want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line? We are honored to have with us the next governor of Arizona, our good friend Carrie Lake. Carrie, hope you're doing good.

I'm doing great. I love that you're broadcasting from the shores of the Mississippi. I'm from a Mississippi River town myself, up a little further up. up north in Iowa. Is that well, you know, we had our good friend David Limbaugh lives in Cape Girardeau, which is where El Rushbo grew up, just right up the river from us.

And so good people living along the the banks of the mighty Mississippi. Mighty Mississippi, yes indeed. And I will say this, it's about the same temperature. You guys don't have the humidity. We've got the humidity.

So you may have the better end of the deal there at Arizona. Yes, it's starting to warm up. I do appreciate the dry heat. I spent some time with President Trump. About a week ago in Mar-a-Lago, and I went, Oh man, I miss the dry Arizona heat so much.

You know, I wasn't able to get down to that event. Of course, the big debut of Two Thousand Mules, Dinesh D'Souza's incredible documentary. Were you surprised by anything that you saw in the documentary? Yeah. I think I was just surprised by how blatant they were about this.

And the other shock, you know, they've got thousands of mules, as they call them in the movie. taking hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots And this is going on for weeks on end. And the fact that they were so brazen with it, and that then I realized that how many people had to have been involved in this. This isn't just. A few individuals doing this on their own.

It was coordinated. And I think it was coordinated at very high levels. And for that to be going on is just, to me, it was like a punch in the gut and shocking. At some point, we have to ask the Republicans, and especially in states controlled by Republicans, why aren't we doing anything or what are we doing to make sure this does not happen in the midterm elections? Because based on the video and what I saw, these people are emboldened.

And to your point, they really don't care. Yeah. And we have all the data. We have all the information. It's been handed over to people like Mark Bernovich.

Our current governor in Arizona, Doug Ducey, knows about it. When are we going to have a leader stand up? and do the right thing by the people of this great state and by the people of this country. I mean, our founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves right now. When you think about this crime against this country.

And if it's not fixed, if it's not if there's not justice, Todd. the republic will fall. And I'm just waiting for one proud American to stand up And darn it, do the right thing. It makes me sick that we don't have more patriotic, American-loving people. You know, Mark Bernovich, if he's listening, and I've texted him this and I've talked to him.

The weight of the Republic is on his shoulders. He has the evidence. Do something. You know, all the people want justice. They want to make sure that these mules are arrested.

They want to make sure even more than that, that people who ordered them and paid them are arrested and this is stopped. And we don't have anybody who's willing to stand up, no lawmen. No prosecutor who's willing to stand up and do the right thing to save this country. It's disgusting. And that's why come this next election, if we can somehow get just enough fairness to win an election here, and we're going to make sure that this is fixed.

Because I will not stand by and watch my kids grow up in a country that's communist where they don't have freedom. I don't blame you one bit there. Carrie Lake on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line leading in the polls for in the GOP primary for Arizona governor. Carrie, were you surprised by this coverage blackout? I mean, not even Fox News is covering this documentary.

Well, no, because the corrupt news media, even the perceived good guys aren't good guys, and this is why I left the corrupt news. I thought I worked for the good guys, but As I always say, the good guys would have been covering and telling us about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and ways to save our lives rather than just reporting death numbers. And they weren't doing that, and they were pushing propaganda.

So I'm not surprised about Fox. I am a little surprised about news, Max. You know, they invited me on. during the premiere at Mar-a-Lago, they said we want to have you on And I assumed they wanted me to talk about 2,000 mules. That's why I was in Mar-a-Lago.

And so I leave the movie. Thankfully, I had seen it a couple of days earlier, so I'd seen the whole movie. I go up to my room and I get ready to do my Zoom live shot with them. And they never asked me a question about it. I was pretty shocked, so I finally found a way to work it in.

and talk a little bit about this really important movie that I think cracks open one aspect of cheating in our election, and it was It was such wide Spread huge level of cheating that it would have changed the election. And I believe President Trump won. And it's pretty laid out in that movie. Kerry, we've got about 20 seconds. How's the campaign going?

It's going great. We're doing well on fundraising. We've got a lot of the grassroots behind us. We're way up in the poll numbers. We're having an event in Tennessee, actually.

And if people there listening want to come and join us, it's got the amazing country singer John Rich's home. We're going to have a lot of music, great food. And if people want to find more information, they go to CarrieLake.com/slash Nashville. Love it. K-A-R-I-L-A-K-E.com.

We'll be right back, folks. When you bundle your renters and auto insurance with Progressive, you could save money, but it doesn't cover any terrible memories living rent-free in your head. Do you remember that time you were singing in the shower? And then you heard a knock on the wall, and then you realized that your bathroom shared a wall with your neighbor's bedroom, and all you could do was stand there silently, thinking about all the other things they may have heard in the four years you've lived there? Yeah, good times.

Sorry, we can't save you from that memory, but we could save you money bundling your renters and auto insurance with Progressive. Coverage from Progressive Casualty Insurance Company Affiliates and Third Party Insurers. Renters Insurance and Bundler's Comp not available in all stage of situations.
