Ton of stars. All right. Welcome, everybody. Todd Starnes here.

So glad to have you with us on what is a very busy Newsday around the nation. Also, a very dangerous Newsday as well. And that is our starting point today as we are following these developments out of Florida where it is looking grim. And the wind and the damage, the storm surge is beginning to happen. It will continue throughout our program, and we're going to do our very best to keep you updated on this story.

We've got a lot of video on our website, ToddSterns.com, and you'll be able to access that. It will be updated throughout the day. Caleb Park, Ben Dieter, the whole news team, they're very busy today wanting to bring you the latest information. From what we understand now, from the National Hurricane Center, they're now predicting a catastrophe. Catastrophic storm surge.

Folks, I want you to listen to these numbers. This is not an error. This is the actual numbers. And we're talking about feet, not inches. But the National Hurricane Center now says that they're expecting a storm surge of between 12 and 18 feet above ground level.

That's expected to happen somewhere between Englewood, Florida, and Bonita Beach, Florida. That would also include Charlotte Harbor.

So that's a little south of Tampa Bay. But it doesn't really matter because the storm is so massive, it exploded in size late last night into the early morning hours. At one point, by the way, there were actually two eye walls. From a meteorological standpoint, from a weather guesser standpoint, it truly was remarkable to see that storm just explode. Borderline category five, but at this point, it really doesn't matter.

I mean, you're looking at sustained winds are going to be 130, 140 miles an hour, and this is very dangerous. If you live in the Cape Coral Forest. Fort Myers area, you're pretty much going to be underwater. And last night I was checking out some video from Key West, and Key West was already inundated, and the storm was multiple hours away, and it wasn't even high tide yet.

So we can only imagine we're talking about a massive swath of Florida that is going to be deluged. And the deluge has already started to happen. You know, it was fascinating, and we've got some photos on our website of the bays. The water has just emptied out, and all of that will come rushing back in. We want to hear from you.

If you are there in Florida, we want to know how you're doing, what's happening there. We've been in touch with some of our friends in the talk radio world, and God bless talk radio because when the power goes out, you can't lug around a TV, your smartphone, your battery runs out. You've still got your radio, and that radio host, a lot of our fellow colleagues are putting themselves in harm's way to keep you and your family safe. And I just really hope that you take a moment and thank those people and give them a good prayer because they're going to be there through the entire storm, through the eye of the storm, literally, making sure that you guys are safe. Here's our telephone number: 844-747-8868.

Maybe you have family down there. Maybe you have evacuated. You're listening to the program from a hotel room. We want to know how you're doing and what the conditions are like back in your neighborhoods. 844-747-8868.

May I just say? How blessed the state of Florida is to have a man like Ron DeSantis in the governor's mansion. Here's a guy that. Don't take any, he doesn't take anything from the mainstream media.

So, earlier today, they were having a big press conference. And keep in mind, what's the whole focus of today? The whole focus, the whole point of today and yesterday, and tomorrow and the day after is preparing for the storm, dealing with the storm, making sure people are protected, making sure all the swift water rescue guys are in place, making sure everything is there to go in and rescue people and make sure people are safe. But that's not how the media operates, and that's not how Joe Biden operates. And I'm going to get to Joe Biden in just a minute.

But Ron DeSantis, earlier this morning, here's the encounter when a reporter tried to insert politics into all of this. Cut number nine. FEMA Administrator Priswell said today that she acknowledged concerns that Florida's, as it was said, lax response to the storm so far. And that's the problem. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Give me a break. That is nonsense. Stop politicizing, okay? Stop it. We declared a State of emergency when this thing wasn't even formed.

We've had people in here, you've had counties doing, they've done a lot of hard work. And honestly, you're trying to attack me, I get, but like you're attacking these other people who have worked very hard. And so that's just totally false. I don't think we've ever, certainly since I've been governor, declared a state of emergency this early. We made sure that we were very inclusive with it.

We said that there was a lot of uncertainty, and we've worked to make sure the preparations that have been done and all the stuff, you talk to the people at the counties when they've needed something. Stuff gets there very quickly because of what Kevin and his team have done. Good for you, sir. These are sleaze bags. We're talking about the mainstream media here, and good for you, Governor DeSantis.

And that's how you have to deal with these people. You got to put them in their place and you've got to call them right out. You know, I was giving some advice to a person. They're running for an office and they wanted some guidance. They've never run for public office before.

They're having this big debate, and it turns out that the debate moderator is friends with the person's opponent. And they were really concerned because they felt like they weren't going to get a fair shake by the media. And I told this person: I said, you don't play their game, you play your game. And if you have to go to war with the debate moderator, you go to war with the debate moderator. By the way, that's what Donald Trump did back in the day.

And it worked brilliantly. But good for DeSantis for calling out this nonsense. Look, last night on CNN, the most profane name in news, Judge Joe Brown in our Hurricane Coverage Center. Thank you, Judge. Look, Don Lemon, little Donnie Lemon, still on the night show before he joins his girlfriends on the morning show at CNN.

Which, by the way, is the lowest-rated show they have on CNN. But I digress.

So, Don Lemon's trying to make the whole hurricane a climate change issue. And the director of the National Hurricane Center, I don't know if he's got a little DeSantis in him. I want you to take a listen to how all that went down, cut seven. Can you tell us what this is and what effect climate change has on this phenomenon?

Well, we can come back and talk about climate change at a later time. I want to focus on the here and now. We think the rapid intensification is probably almost done. There could be a little bit more intensification as it's still over the warm waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, but I don't think we're going to get any more rapid intensification. If you look here, you can actually see pretty interesting for your viewers, you can actually see a second eye wall forming around the inner eye wall, and that's basically the second eye wall has overtaken the original eye wall, and that should arrest development.

Listen, I'm just trying to get that you said you want to talk about climate change, but what effect does climate change have on this phenomenon that is happening now? Because it seems these storms are intensifying. That's a question. I don't think you can link climate change to any one event. On the whole, on the cumulative, climate change may be making storms worse.

But to link it to any one event, I would caution against that.

Okay. Listen, I grew up there, and these storms are intensifying.

Something is causing them to intensify. No, what a moron. And good for the National Hurricane Center director to call out this moron. for being stupid, and the only thing worse than a moron is a stupid moron. And that's what Little Donnie Limmitt is.

Now, I went back and did some research. And so, when you're having these conversations with the tree hoggers, the folks out there that do believe in this global warming, well, here's what you need to understand about hurricanes. Hurricanes have been around since the good Lord. Created the earth, and we had the great flood and Noah's Ark back when the rainbow meant something else. Look, we've had hurricanes, we've had bad storms.

As a matter of fact, going back to when they were measuring and keeping track of how many hurricanes hit America, which was back right around the turn of the previous century, before last, not the twentieth century, but the nineteenth century, Yeah. And it turns out that, yeah. We have had a lot of hurricanes lately, but we also had a lot of hurricanes back in the 1800s. Record breaking. As a matter of fact, I believe the third or the second or the third most active hurricane season was back in the 1800s, and then back in the 1920s and 30s.

So there is no rhyme or reason to this. This particular hurricane season, it's been very quiet, hence the I for Ian. We haven't had that many storms, and this is the first storm of the season to actually impact the United States of America.

Now, President Biden may have a theory about that. He seems to think that vaccines are going to protect you from the hurricanes. Cut number two. Let me be clear. If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, Like Florida or the Gulf Coast or into Texas, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now.

Everything is more complicated if you're not vaccinated in a hurricane or a natural disaster hits. Jeez a Lou. This guy's never clear, by the way.

So there you go. Biden says if you get the jab, then you're going to be able to survive the hurricane. I still think we need to put Ron DeSantis in biblical robes, give him a beard. Give him the s the the rod and put him out there on, I don't know, the beach and have him maybe part the waters, or maybe he can pull a Pat Robertson and pray the hurricane to Martha's Vineyard. Yeah.

All right, we got to take a break here. A lot going on. By the way, President Biden is now summoning the dead, and we're going to get into that when we come back. 844-747-8868. Again, a very dangerous situation down there in Florida.

Be safe. Don't put yourself in harm's way. By the way, the National Weather Service just posting this. A lot of people are going out now into the bay because all the waters have receded.

So people are like running down into the bay. Do not do that because that water is about to come back, and you don't want to be caught up in that. All right, 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show. MyPellow is having their biggest sheet sale of the year.

Southerly winds right now just on the east side of strengthening Hurricane Ian. Hurricane Hunter aircraft have indicated that this is approaching category five intensity. It underwent an eye wall replacement cycle yesterday and continues to intensify now. The eye is beginning to constrict with Hurricane Ian as it intensifies and as that pressure falls and there's going to be an absolutely catastrophic storm surge as well possibly approaching 15 feet areas like Like Fort Myers Beach, up through Buttagorda area, Port Charlotte, all of those areas could have an Absolutely catastrophic. Storm surge, winds possibly gusting up to 200 miles an hour in the coastal areas, and I am right on behind islands.

Look at this, man. This is the inner core of the hurricane, but the eye wall is still offshore. That's where the strongest winds are anticipated. All right, there you go, folks. That's a reporter talking about the hurricane as it's making its way into.

The state of Florida. We have some video, and I'm about to post this on the website. Tampa Bay has completely emptied out.

So you can only imagine what's going to happen when all that water comes rushing back in. It's a bad situation. And I will say this: Ron DeSantis doing a great job. Seems like they've got all their ducks in a row as this storm comes ashore. By the way, have you guys heard about the Waffle House Index?

This is fascinating.

So, you know, the weather guessers, they rely on the National Hurricane Center for all their intel. But it turns out that FEMA actually checks in with Waffle House. They've got this massive system in place. It's called the Waffle House Index.

Now, Ben Dieter, I know you're from, what, Pennsylvania? You're from the Amish country of Pennsylvania? That's right. But they have Waffle Houses.

So you guys have a Waffle House. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. All right. Have you been to the Waffle House?

No. You need to have a gun if you do. You've told me about it. It's always good to be prepared because you're never, there's always a fight going down at the waffle house, but the food is delicious. And they have the waffles and the hash browns and the whatnot.

I'm blown away in trying to make the link between Hurricane Ian and Waffles.

So here's the deal: Waffle House is open 24-7. It doesn't matter what's happening, 24-7.

So they've got an index, and this is somewhat an informal metric, but the company uses this to figure out how bad things are in that community.

So, for example, if the storm comes and Waffle House is serving their full menu, that means typically there's no or little damage, and they've got full power.

So that's green.

So that's green.

Next on the Waffle House index is yellow. That means you may not be able to get the sausage patties or the bacon or the toast. They don't have biscuits at Waffle House. I never could understand that, but they got toast. That means that maybe the power's.

A little spotty, there are some outages, and they may not have a lot of food supplies. Yeah, that's yellow.

Now, red is the apocalypse. That means the Waffle House is completely closed. And FEMA says that they actually use this to determine how bad the situation is in a town.

So if the Waffle House is closed, I mean, they're sending in, you know, like brigades of people. Because they know it's got to be really bad. Wow. Me and I saw an update where Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, he said it's no longer safe to get out of town. You have to bunker down.

So wonder if those people just bunker down in the Waffle House. Probably not because I was checking, and the waffle houses around Sarasota and that area of Florida are closed. They're on code red. Yeah, they're on code red. And here's the deal: you know, if your if your town, if your town's waffle house is closed, you better pack up the pickup truck and hightail it out of town because something very bad is about to happen.

I'm just saying. Wonder why Waffle House. I mean, maybe it's just because it's one of the only places where you can go get a good breakfast at 3 o'clock in the morning. You can do that at McDonald's or Taco Bell. No, not really.

No, it's got it. Or Perkins. You can go to a Perkins index. That's true.

Now, Huddlehouse is pretty darn good. I will say, so anyway, the Waffle House Index, a pretty good indicator of whether or not your town got scattered, covered, and smothered by the storm. Or they could be talking about the hash browns. I don't know. I'm a little confused by this, but I think it's pretty fascinating.

Years ago, I used to go to a Waffle House in the Memphis area, and they had a cook, and she was. A big girl. Her name was Big Sexy. No, her name was Big Sexy. She's great.

That was on her name tag? Or was that what the locals call her? That's what she was called. That's what the locals called her. I mean, it could have been on the name tag.

I By the way, later on we'll get they were good waffles. I will, by the way, speaking of name tags, we've got a great story about Virgin Atlantic also coming up immediately after the bottom-of-the-hour news break. Folks, Joe Biden. Was calling out a dead congresswoman thinking she was alive today. Are you concerned about the mental Prowess of the President of the United States.

Is it time for us to demand a cognitive test? 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number here in our bunker. 844-747-8868. We'll be right back.

There's no doubt the nation is facing a financial crisis because of the Biden administration's economic policies. Hi, this is Todd Stearns, and no doubt our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself.

Now, if all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds, and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement. No matter what happens, you own your gold. It's real, physical. It's always been valuable since the dawn of time.

com. Wow, winds 155 miles an hour. National Weather Service now telling people you gotta hunker down. They say the extreme wind warning now in effect. You got to treat it like a tornado.

So there you go. All right. Thoughts and prayers with our friends, our listeners in the Sunshine State. Gotta play this audio. Uh Somebody forgot to put the pill in the porridge this morning.

He was giving a speech up in Washington. And the guy was just all over the place. Biden went on to say that he didn't even know if he was talking about Tom Vilsack. He couldn't remember who he was. You heard from Secretary Vilsack.

Senator, excuse me madam, who are you? How can the side he's doing a hell of a job? Unbelievable. And then he goes on and he's talking about, he was calling out, um, A Jackie Walorski. She was the congresswoman from Indiana.

We're going to play the audio, and then we'll fill in all the rest of this. I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Representative Government, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was going to be here to help make this a reality. No, she's not here, Mr.

President. She's dead. What's wrong with you?

So he's calling for Jackie Walorski. She was killed in a car accident in August. Two of her staff members were also killed, and Biden knew that because he put out a statement. It was a very nice statement to mourning her loss.

So, the idea that he either forgot that she died, or, or, and this could be a possibility. Maybe he thinks she's still alive. This is bonkers. We're on the verge of World War III. And we've got a president who thinks dead people are alive.

The guy's mental stability is an issue now, ladies and gentlemen, of national and international importance. Quite frankly, President Biden's mental faculties are a clear and present danger to our country. And now is the time. I mean, the Democrats know they're going to get shellacked. They're getting ready for a butt whooping, as we used to say back home.

They know they're going to lose in the midterm elections.

So they've got nothing to lose politically by coming out and saying what we all know to be true, that the President is not well. Yeah. And we need leaders from both parties to somebody needs to get up and like Ronnie Jackson, our good friend from Texas, the former White House physician.

Now a congressman, and he's been calling on Biden to take a cognitive exam. Let's see what's really going on up in there. But we need to know whether the President is just having some sort of a perpetual brain freeze or if the cheese really has done slid off his cracker. We need to know that. What say you, ladies and gentlemen?

Is it time to invoke the Twenty Fifth Amendment? The man is now seeing dead people. eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. That's eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. I mean, it's not like this is some sort of a random occurrence.

It's like every single day. Mumbling his way. Through that entire speech, it was Bonkers, just bonkers.

Now look, I I want to talk about the Nord Stream pipelines, and we're going to do that after the break here coming up. Yeah. But when I say I have grave concerns about Biden's mental capabilities. It's it's very important. With what's happening in Ukraine and Russia.

By the way, Joe Biden The budget The stopgap budget that the Senate is going to be voting on. $12 billion in new spending. For Ukraine. Yeah. I mean, at what point do we say enough is enough?

Yeah. Just a couple of weeks ago on this program, we were telling you that many of our military personnel cannot make ends meet. And why can't they make ends meet? Because just like everybody else, they've been hit the hardest, the hardest by inflation. They're not getting pay raises.

They're putting their lives on the line, and they're being told by the Pentagon: well, if you can't feed your family, go down to the local, go down to a local food stamp office. Go get yourself some government cheese. Go to the local food pantry at your church. That's what they're telling our fighting men and women. Men and women who are putting their lives on the line to keep all of us safe.

And we're telling them that the lives of Ukrainians matter more than the lives of American people. That's what they're telling us. That's what the Biden administration. That's what members of Congress are telling us.

Now, I know, and we've heard this over and over and over again. This idea that, well, we've got to keep the government open. We can't shut down the government. Why not? When are Republicans going to man up and actually be Republicans when it comes to being fiscal conservatives?

When is that going to happen? I mean, we know that they're not cultural conservatives anymore, but if you're not going to be a fiscal conservative, what is the point of having a Republican Party? We all have to balance our check books. We all have to live within our means. And I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of seeing my hard earned tax money going to fund this war between Ukraine and Russia.

I'm sick of it.

Now, it would be a different matter. If in fact the Ukrainians were coming to us and wanting to buy all this stuff, but we're not only giving it to them, we're just writing them a blank check. And it does make you wonder what the Ukrainians have on the Biden crime syndicate. What is it that the Ukrainians have on these guys that Biden is literally giving them a blank check? All of you ought to be enraged about this.

You got a son or a daughter in the military? You're a veteran? Could you imagine what twelve billion dollars would do to VA hospitals around the nation? Could you imagine what that $12 billion would do to the families of military personnel that are just struggling to make ends meet, to pay the bills every month? That's a lot of money, folks.

A lot of money. Eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. That's our toll free telephone number. Should we be funding this war in Ukraine right now? Is it time to pull the plug?

844-747-8868. I want to tell you guys a story. Couple of years ago, There's a little girl named Lydia Booth. She is a third grader. We were in the middle of the pandemic.

You might remember this. Kids were going back to school, but they were told they had to wear a mask.

So little Lydia shows up to school wearing a Jesus Loves Me mask. Yeah. The school leaders told that little girl she was not allowed to wear that sort of thing. It was okay for the kids to pledge their allegiance to Black Lives Matter, but they were not allowed. To pledge their allegiance to Jesus Christ.

So, our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom took on Lydia's case, they did not charge that child a single penny. As a matter of fact, Alliance Defending Freedom, they don't charge any of their clients any money. The school backed off, but they did not rescind the policy.

Now it could have been easy for Alliance Defending Freedom to just declare a victory for their client, but they saw the bigger picture. They saw that religious liberty is under attack in, of all places, Mississippi.

So they filed a federal lawsuit. And they're saying that the school district is guilty of viewpoint discrimination. And the case is making its way through the courts. You say, Tom, why are you telling us this? I'm telling you this because all this month we're helping allies defending freedom.

They do this free of charge. These guys could be making hundreds of thousands of dollars working for some of the top law firms in the country, but they don't do that. Instead, they do pro bono cases. Defending religious liberty, defending the unborn, defending the pro-life movement. And I respect that, but they need our help.

And here's what I want you to do: go to ToddSterns.com. You'll see at the top of the page the Alliance Defending Freedom banner. Click on that. And would you make a donation? All this month, we are raising money.

It's sort of a radio-thon for Alliance Defending Freedom. And if all you got is $5, then God bless you. But maybe you have $500 or $1,000. They need all the help we can get. And the best part of it all, it's tax deductible.

Even if it wasn't, it would be a noble thing for you to do. But you're going to be getting a tax break on this. And we can all use those these days. Again, ToddSterns.com. Click on the Alliance Defending Freedom banner, and you're going to be helping little third graders like Lydia fight for her religious liberty and her freedom.

We'll be right back. All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I mean, it really is. It's just unbelievable. The mental condition of the president.

And really, shame on his family. Mrs. Dr. First Lady Joe Biden. It should be accused of Of elder abuse.

What was it Biden said a few days ago? He was 30, she was 12. Hmm.

Well, we have to hope and pray there wasn't any other abuse going on back in the day. All I let's go to the phones here. Eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. Richard, listening to us on the great KROF in Louisiana. Richard, what's on your mind?

Hello, Tahada. I'd like to get your point of view on an observation about President Biden. He seems to me to be more than just a mentally deficient figurehead for the Democrat Party. I believe it's worse than that. I think he actually represents the Democrat Party, and I'll tell you what.

Back to the primary. The Democrats did not have one single electable Canada, if they were that bad, it was either lightweights like terrorists or Looney Tune extremists like Uh Who's the socialist from up in Vermont? You had Bernie Sanders and Pete Booty Jej. Yeah, I mean, there were some wackadoodles on that list. There was not a single candidate that could have even pulled 42, 43% in the general.

and they coalesced behind Biden Knowing that already that he was mentally compromised because he was the most electable candidate they had, unfortunately.

Well, you know, Richard, let me jump in here. Actually, the most electable person they had was Tulsi Gabbard, but they weren't going to let her run because her parents were supporters of traditional marriage back when she was a teenager, and she helped in their campaigns. And that's one of the reasons why she was booted off the stage. She actually. I I think that she could have she could have been a viable candidate.

Very good point. But The point I'm making is, they're going to try to run from Buy. They're going to try to say he's an anomaly. We didn't know. But they should not be able not in the midterms, not at any point should they be allowed to escape.

This is your guy. This is the one that you said is our best leader And that's who you represent the Democrat Party. That's my opinion. Oh, he was their best and their brightest, Richard. Just think about that for a moment.

You're onto something here. But I think ultimately, he was the guy that Susan Rice and Barack Obama knew they could control. And when you see the policies that are laid out on all of this, it's very clear to me this is the third term of the Obama administration, his policies being implemented by a mindless drone like Joe Biden. Yes, sir. And when he got into office, what happened?

Washington was flooded. by mental deficiency. and Looney Tune extremists.

So Again, he is the Democrat Party. They should not be able to escape You know, that shadow of this is your guy, Joe Biden. All right, Richard, great call, and we appreciate you listening to the program. We love all of our listeners down in Cajun Country. 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

Now, look, we're going to get into this Nord Stream pipeline situation throughout the program, but I want to set the stage for just a moment here. This is a very dangerous situation.

So the report came out yesterday during our show, and we wanted to track down as much information about this as we could. But it was very clear that something was happening with the pipelines. There were There's a Nord Stream I and Nord Stream two. Both are pipelines, and they carry natural gas from Russia to Europe through the Baltic Sea. And we're getting word that the pipelines were, in fact, sabotaged.

Now the question is, who was who did it? And Tucker Carlson last night On Fox News channel, actually suggested that Joe Biden might actually be responsible for ordering the sabotage of those pipelines.

Now, I don't want to play, we're not going to play that audio just yet, but I do want to go back in time. And it wasn't all that long ago that Joe Biden warned that if Russia invaded Ukraine, That there would not be a Nord stream pipeline. There would not be one. Just take a listen. Cut number one.

Let me answer the first question first. If Germany, if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the uh the the border of Ukraine uh again, then uh there will be uh we there will be no longer a North Stream two. We we will bring an end to it. Take. But how would you how will you do that?

Exactly. since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control. We will uh I promise you we'll be able to do it. Yeah. There you have it.

That was the threat coming from Joe Biden. Not Donald Trump, Joe Biden. Yeah. So now people are pointing the finger at Russia.

So Europe says, well, we think Russia sabotaged.

Now, the question I have, and Tucker asked this last night on the channel, why would Russia sabotage its own pipelines? Why would they do that? Why would they put themselves at risk, especially when winter is just around the corner? Folks, I'm telling you, the policies and the behavior of this administration. Yeah.

are leading us to a world war. Yeah, yeah. And all of us need to be very concerned about what's about to happen in this world, not just here in America, but the world. By the way, this word just coming in. Yeah.

This is CNBC's reporting. The U.S. Embassy in Moscow is now telling American citizens to leave the country immediately.

Well, what do you think that's all about? I'm telling you. Biden is playing a very dangerous game. And when I say Biden, I mean Susan Rice and Barack Hussein Obama. This is a very dangerous.

Situation.

Now we're going to play the audio from last night. Tucker Carlson made a pretty good case, I think. And a lot of people are wondering. Did Joe Biden? Order those pipelines to be sabotaged to be blown up.

By the way, there is a report out from the U. S. Navy just what, a couple of weeks ago. I'll pull that audio or pull that story for you, and we'll get into that. But the Navy, the divers, were actually undergoing training exercises on how to blow something up underwater.

Yeah. And guess where they were? We'll leave you hanging on that one. You're not going to be terribly surprised.

Something's going on here, and it seems as though this administration is hell-bent on having some sort of an armed conflict with the Russians. The only one problem there is you've got Vladimir Putin, and I think he's more than willing to use a nuclear weapon to make his point. 844-747-8868, that's our toll-free telephone number. A lot of theories, a lot of the theories percolating about what happened to those pipelines. 844-747-8868.

We're going to get to your calls. Our good friend Mike Huckabee is going to be here also. Ralph Reed from the Faith and Freedom Coalition. We're going to be talking politics. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starnes. That's right. I love this American ride. All right. Hello, everybody.

Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Good to have you with us. Hurricane Ian now making landfall. near Sanobelle Island in Florida. Category 4 storm, 155 mile-an-hour winds, a lot of damage, a lot of destruction.

And if you are in that area, I hope you are hunkered down because it's going to be a pretty bumpy ride for the next little while. They're saying storm surge could be 18 feet high in some places.

So, you guys, be careful and take. Take shelter immediately if you're anywhere in that area. But you guys know what to do. You've been through these kinds of storms before. Brand new polling data out from Grinnell College national poll.

Just 41 days until we retake America, we retake the Congress, and we stop the Biden-Obama agenda. Just 36 percent of voters approve of Joe Biden's job performance. That's stunning. 51% disapprove of the president. And that's not all.

Only 21% of Americans are satisfied with the direction of Biden's America. That's from a Gallup bull. Gallup also found fifty six percent of Americans say Biden's forty year high inflation has caused them hardship. That's up from forty nine percent in January, forty five percent in November.

So a lot of people are hurting out there, and a lot of people are looking to the Republicans for answers. Overall, just 20% believe Biden's economy is good to fairly good. Seventy seven percent say it was bad. Among independents, fifty one percent say Biden's economy is very bad. two percent and this is the key among independents, two percent of independents say Biden's economy is very good.

Two. All of that to say, and we're going to keep reminding you of these stats as we move closer to the midterm elections, but I believe that we are looking at a massive tsunami. I would say it's going to be a 100-foot political storm surge. And it's going to sweep across this nation because people are fed up, they're disgusted, they're tired of the economic hardships, they're tired of the schools indoctrinating their kids, they're tired of the sex and gender revolutionaries, they're tired of the millions of people coming across the border illegally, and they're tired of having to foot the bill for somebody else's war. They're just tired.

Yeah. And I suspect we are going to see a massive uprising on Election Day. And I hope you are encouraged by that. 844-747-8868, that's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

Now, I want to get to this Tucker Carlson piece last night. Tucker weighed in on this crazy story about the Nord Stream pipeline. Two of them Two of the pipelines were We're sabotaged, we believe blown up. They're leaking natural gas into the Baltic Sea. It is a mess out there.

And the question is: who did it? It's kind of like the big who done it. Yeah. Unfortunately, we cannot ask Matt Locke or Agatha Christie. to go and investigate.

But a lot of people are pointing the finger at President Biden.

Now, You've got the Polish and Ukrainian leaders. They're blaming Russia for the attack. Russia state media says it's either the United States or Ukraine who did this. But regardless, it's causing big problems. We know from CNBC's reporting that the U.S.

Embassy in Moscow telling Americans to get out of the country.

Now, what does that mean? What does that tell you? Is it possible That rush up. Also, had the same audio we had back when President Biden said if Russia ever invaded Ukraine, there would no longer be a pipeline. Cut one.

Let me answer the first question first. If Germany, if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the the border of Ukraine again, then there will be we there will be no longer a Nord Stream two. We we will bring an end to it. But how would you how will you do that? Exactly, since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.

We will uh I promise you we'll be able to do it. So, if I'm Vladimir Putin and I'm watching that and I'm listening to that. I'm hearing the President of the United States say that if Russia invades Ukraine, then they're going to blow this thing up. And sure enough, that's exactly what happened.

So it would be easy to understand why the Russians think we did it. And the question is, did we do it? Which is what Tucker was talking about last night, cut number eleven. One of the environmental catastrophes, one of the great environmental catastrophes of our time, is unfolding tonight off the coast of Denmark. The Nord Stream pipelines, which are enormous Russian-owned conduits that carry natural gas from Russia to Western Europe.

have been breached. As we speak, Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 are pouring millions of cubic meters of natural gas into the Baltic Sea. Pictures from the air, which you can now see on your screen, show a toxic bubble field more than half a mile wide. You can only guess at how many marine mammals are being killed right now, countless. But the lasting damage may be to the atmosphere.

Natural gas is comprised of up to ninety percent methane. Methane, as Joe Biden has often told you, is the key driver of global warming, which is, of course, an existential threat to humanity and the planet.

So, if you're worried about climate change, what just happened to the Nord Stream pipelines is as close to the apocalypse as we have ever come. Yes, but the question is from an environmental apocalypse, but the question is, what about the actual the actual apocalypse? Because if, in fact, Joe Biden ordered the destruction of those pipelines, we could be looking at a war with Russia. Cut number 12.

So the question is, how did this happen? And it turns out it was not an accident. At the very same time that leaks in these pipelines were detected, Swedish officials recorded two powerful undersea explosions, each one of which was equivalent to hundreds of pounds of TNT. Nothing in nature can account for that. Almost immediately, the pipelines began leaking in three separate places.

So, there's only one explanation for what happened. This was an act of industrial terrorism. That was very obvious to the Prime Minister of Poland, and he wasted no time in saying so. Watch. Mahmoudini.

We are also dealing with an act of sabotage. We do not know the details of what happened yet, but we can clearly see that it is an act of sabotage, an act that probably marks the next stage in the escalation of the situation we are dealing with in Ukraine. We can clearly see, he said, this was an act of sabotage, an act of terrorism.

Well, yes, we can see that.

So Tucker goes on to advance a theory that I too believe I think this is absolutely feasible and possible that it was in fact Joe Biden who did this.

So the question is who did it? And of course the prime sessbuck is obvious. It would be the same man who caused domestic inflation here in the U.S. and stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. That'd be Vladimir V.

Putin. The Washington Post got right to it. Putin, they declared, is now weaponizing the Nord Stream pipelines. According to the Canadian Ambassador to the UN, Vladimir Putin has decided to use, quote, pollution as an act of war. Progressive Twitter strongly endorsed this conclusion.

Putin did it. And that makes sense. until you thought about it for just a moment. Vladimir Putin may be evil, they tell us that he is evil. But is he stupid?

Probably isn't stupid. And yet, and here's the strange part: if you were Vladimir Putin, you would have to be a suicidal moron to blow up your own energy pipelines. That's the one thing you would never do. Natural gas pipelines are the main source of your power and your wealth, and most critically, your leverage over other countries. Europe needs your energy now more than ever with winter approaching.

If you can't deliver that energy, Then countries like Germany have no need to pay attention to what you want. You're in the middle of a war, an all-hands-on-deck war, so you need all the leverage you can get. Under these circumstances, there is no chance you would blow up Nord Stream 1 or 2. Not now. Obviously.

In fact, it's so obvious that even our famously dim Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, seemed to acknowledge it. Sabotaging Nordstream, he said today, is quote, clearly in no one's interest. Right. but really only half right. It is true that blowing up Nord Stream does not help Vladimir Putin.

He would not do that. Why would he? But that doesn't mean that other countries wouldn't consider doing it. They would consider it, and we know they have considered it, because at least one of them has said so in public. In early February, less than three weeks before the war in Ukraine began, Joe Biden suggested on camera that he might take out these pipelines.

Watch. If Russia invades That means tanks of troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it. But you but how will you how will you do that? Exactly, since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.

We will I promise you we'll be able to do it. Notice how he phrased that. He's the president. doesn't phrase things by accident, particularly when he's reading off cards. He didn't say, I will pause the delivery of gas from Russia to Germany.

He said, there won't be a Nord Stream 2. We'll put an end to it. We'll take it out. We'll blow it up. How will you do this?

He was asked. I promise you we will be able to do it. They thought this through. And yet those watching, very much including us, didn't take Biden seriously when he said it.

Well, maybe we should have. Ladies and gentlemen.

Something very strange is going on. By the way, this item just came in about eighteen minutes ago. The Biden administration is announcing a new $1.1 billion weapons package for Ukraine. $1.1 billion. Last night, separately, The Senate agreed to a deal, a stopgap spending bill.

It's going to keep the Federal Government open until mid-November. In that deal, more than $12 billion more dollars to Ukraine. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a problem with this? Do you have a problem with spending tens of billions? And folks, soon it could be trillions of your tax dollars.

Do you have a problem giving all of that money to Ukraine? Are you concerned that we may very well get into a shooting war with the Russians over this? These are very disturbing days. I said this early on in the election process, early on, that the best way, the most effective way for the Democrats to maintain control in Congress is for there to be some sort Of an armed conflict, some sort of a war, or quite frankly, if there is some sort of a calamity that would. Compel the President of the United States to either postpone or cancel elections.

That's also a possibility. And I can certainly see. The puzzle pieces coming together for the Democrats to pull something like that off. As crazy as it sounds. We got to take a break here.

844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Show. And again, all this month, we are hosting a radio-thon for our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom. They're fighting every single day for our freedom, and they're doing so incredibly well. Very successful fighting all the way to the Supreme Court and winning cases.

Now, one of the reasons we're doing this is: nope, the mainstream media hate Alliance Defending Freedom. A lot of conservatives, who are Republicans rather, they don't want to have anything to do with Alliance Defending Freedom because they're fighting for religious liberty and the pro-life movement.

So, if you go to our website right now, ToddSterns.com, and click on the ADF banner, you'll see it as soon as you go to our website. You will see that banner. Click on that banner, and it'll take you to our page. We are raising $50,000. $50,000, that's our goal.

By the end of October, we hope to raise $50,000 for Alliance Defending Freedom. And all this month, if you make a donation, let's say you give $100, we've got an incredibly generous donor who is going to double that amount.

So you give $100, that's going to be a $200 gift. You say, Todd, I don't have $100, give $1,000. You say, Todd, no, listen up. I don't even have $100. Give $5 or $10.

Every single penny matters. And we want to do our part to help out our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom. All right, let's go to the phones here: 844-747-8868. Bob, W-D-U-N.

Now, Bob, I understand you've got a theory about this pipeline. Hey, yes, sir. Hey, uh good good morning, Tom.

Okay. I gotta thank everybody. We can't figure out why all these illegal migrants are coming over. What if they're getting ready for a war? What if they gonna bring these guys in over here, then we're gonna go to war with Russia?

And we be sending all these men illegal mean of our defy the battle. Bob, this is look, that's a theory, and it's a pretty good theory. Look, there's this idea in America that our nation is set, that nobody's going to come and fight us for the Louisiana territory. Nobody's going to come and fight us for the state of California. I disagree with that.

And all you have to do is look at what's happening right now with Russia and Ukraine. I mean, Russia wants their property back. And I sincerely believe that there are plenty of people in Mexico and parts south that. That wants to retake what was once their property. And that would be California and New Mexico and Arizona and Texas.

So I don't think that's out of the realm of possibility. And we really don't know who or what has been coming across that southern border. And, Baba, we'll open this up to our listeners, but I think there's something to that. And I think that's one of the reasons we need to understand who's been coming across the border and what they're up to. And right.

I mean, you know, are are these guys if they go get into our military, will they be promised a citizenship? I mean, are they being offered anything like that? We don't know.

Well, California is offering all of them legal ID cards, so we've got that to contend with.

So, Bob, appreciate the call. Thank you for listening. 844-747-8868. Bob says, hey, look, maybe these illegals that are flooding the border are actually some sort of a secret army. Maybe you've got terrorists and they're wanting to commit terrorist activity in the United States.

I think that's a possibility. You certainly can't just say, eh, you know, they don't do that anymore. Yes, they do. Yes, they do, ladies and gentlemen. But we need to be looking for any sort of an event that's going to destabilize the nation, something so significant that Biden would want to call off the elections or postpone the elections.

And I do think that's a possibility because the Democrats aren't stupid. They know exactly what's going to happen in the midterm elections. They see the elections. Same polling data we see, ladies and gentlemen. By the way, we're efforting this new video.

Yeah. This is pretty This is pretty remarkable. There was an event in the Rose Garden. President Biden and Mrs. Dr.

First Lady Jill Biden. In a very unflattering dress, is standing up there, and clearly the president is in a state, a very odd state. The video shows her calling the husband over and telling her over and over again, you go down this way, Joe, you go down this way, trying to show him how to get off the stage. It's a very small stage. And then he stops and turns and walks the other way.

844-747-8868. This is the Dodd Starnes Radio Show. You see, I knew this was going to be a big story for us here on the Tom Sears Radio program. Yes, our show and the company based here in Memphis, Tennessee, but our chief executive officer actually lives in Wichita, Kansas, the great Dalton Glascock. And you've heard Dalton on the show time and again.

And very upset about New York City's mayor, Eric Adams.

So just the other day, Eric Adams taking a cheap shot at the state of Kansas. We have a brand. New York has a brand. And when people see it, It means something. You know, when we go there, it's not Kansas doesn't have a brand.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, when you go there, okay, you're from Kansas. No. Well, you know what?

But New York has a brand. Yeah, not a very good brand. I mean, geez, Lou, look at what's happening in New York City.

Well, you know what? Stop, stop. I am not going to do this, but I do know someone who will defend the honor of the great state of Kansas. He wants to be the next Republican governor there, currently the Attorney General of the great state, Derek Schmidt, and he is on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Mr.

Attorney General, good to have you with us today. Hey, thanks for having me on. All right. From out here in God's country, you know.

Well, amen. And it's a beautiful state you have. I don't know why in the world the mayor of New York City is taking a shot at Kansas.

Well, who knows? We love our Midwestern life out here on the prairie. And Kansas doesn't want to be New York. And especially right now, with the kind of left progressive leadership that they have that's sort of chronic up there, all kinds of problems. And what's it say about our own Democrat governor here in Kansas?

that even one of her own is now criticizing uh the state under her leadership.

So I'm running for governor because I want to be sure that we get this state back on the right track. And we got a governor who was born in New York and apparently picked up some bad habits in her young formative years. And so You know, we're focused on Second Amendment rights. We believe in that in Kansas. They certainly don't in New York City.

We're focused on making sure that folks can afford their life each and every day, and they just keep spending and spending and spending in Governor Kelly's administration and up in New York City. don't think the biological males ought to be competing in girls' sports, and Governor Kelly does, just like they do in New York City.

So we've got a lot of progress that we've got to make out here in Kansas. We've got room to improve, but God, we're proud of this place.

Well, look, it's a great state you have. And, you know, we've got a lot of listeners in the state of Kansas. I know we've got KQAM, our great radio affiliate in Wichita, good people, hardworking people, church-going people. And it's pretty repulsive that, at least to this point, the governor hasn't even posted a message condemning or calling out her fellow Democrat, Eric Adams, for taking a cheap shot at the good people of Kansas.

Well, it was a cheap shot, but look, here's the bottom line. I mean, the leadership in New York City and the leadership in the Kansas Governor's office right now, they are all folks who they have the same political party, very similar philosophies. They stand with Joe Biden on nearly everything. They find excuses about Biden's failures. And it's just really unfortunate that You know, Kansas finds itself in this position.

We're going to fix that at the election this fall. And believe me, I'll stand up to the mayor of New York and sing our praises all day long. I love it. I mean, you got what, Bob Dole, a favored son, Dwight Eisenhower, a very nice airport, by the way, Amelia Earhart, and of course, Superman.

So, pretty good list of dignitaries from Kansas. We've got a lot to be proud of. And look, this is America out here. We love this life. We believe in God and country.

We just think people ought to be free to live their lives the way they wish to live them. They want to live with traditional values and with faith. That is the way things ought to be. That's how we look at things out here.

So we love Kansas. Please come out and visit us. We'd love you to come here. Befriend us. Spend a little bit of money, and you'll leave feeling proud about America.

You know, Mr. Attorney General, I will say this. When it comes to politics in Kansas, you guys are a little quirky. I just don't get the rhyme or reason to some of these Democrats who get elected. How is the election looking, and what is it going to take for Republicans to retake the State House in Topeka?

Well, I think this race looks very good. It's a close race, but as we're coming down the stretch here, I think things are moving strongly in our direction. Look, we have a governor who is just out of step with most Kansas values, who won't stand up to the Biden administration, who isn't focused on the issues the Kansans are most passionate about right now, which is the ability to pay their bills and sort of the cost of daily life. She was on the wrong side of a lot of education issues, especially during the lockdowns. I mean, my goodness, she locked kids out of school and then tried to lock parents out of school by vetoing a parent's Bill of Rights.

You know, folks just understand that we can do so much better out here. We're going to get this thing right this time. We're going to win this, and Kansas will be better for it. Aside from the economy, I know crime has been a huge issue for a lot of cities and communities around the nation. What about there in your state?

Yes. I mean, certainly, we have issues in parts of our state as we often do. One of the big challenges we have right now is the amount of fentanyl that's flooding our streets. Kansas has an opioid problem like so much of the country. Fentanyl has arrived in Kansas in large numbers a bit later than it did in some other parts of the country, but it's here now with a vengeance.

And one of the reasons for that, a principal reason for that, is Joe Biden's decision to abandon security along the southern border. This fentanyl isn't manufactured in Kansas. It's manufactured south of the border, usually from Chinese precursor chemicals, smuggled across the southern border, and then it becomes poison on our streets that kills our kids or our citizens otherwise. And that's one of the things we have criticized the Biden administration on very strongly in our campaign. I was at the border early this year.

We stood up and sued President Biden in several areas, trying to keep Remain in Mexico in place, Title forty two in place. And on the other side of that equation, we've got a governor right now who not only doesn't criticize Joe Biden's retreat from border security, even though it's resulting in such harm in our Kansas communities. Fentanyl and related crime. But when pushed on that, she actually says that it's a political game. When border states ask for help from other states like Kansas.

So we've got to get this one right. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And something that is certainly unique to Kansas, I mean, you guys are a big farming state, agriculture huge. And we hear from a lot of farmers who listen to this show as they're riding on their tractors out in the fields. And Mr. Attorney General, they tell us that the Biden administration has their thumb on them and they need the government off their backs.

one hundred percent. I mean, that is perhaps the if not the number one, the number two issue along with just the affordability of daily life, which of course is tied to Biden and Kelly's policies that were mistakes. That is the number one thing I hear from Kansans traveling around the state. They're worried. I mean, they're worried about the future of our country, about the country we're going to leave to our kids.

They're worried about preserving our freedoms. They're worried about this explosive growth in big government from the Biden administration and from the Kelly administration in Topeka. At the end of the day, they just want to be largely left alone to pass on our heritage to the next generation, to earn a living, to live life the way we want to, to raise the kids the way we want to. And Joe Biden's big government approach to everything, printing so much money, regulating everything, trying to rewrite rules like the Title IX rules to compel, you know. uh uh things that just aren't aren't shared values by an awful lot of Kansans.

At the end of the day, that's the wrong direction for this state. And we've got to have a governor who's willing to stand up and push back and not either just get along to go along or just sort of stand silent. We can do so much better. And, you know, again, Derek Schmidt, by the way, running for governor. He's the Republican nominee in Kansas on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.

And, Mr. Attorney General, one of the things I like about you is that you're your own man, but you're also embracing some of the ideas coming from other governors and specifically Ron DeSantis. And I know he was campaigning. You guys were appearing alongside each other and talking about those policies. And what I love about DeSantis, he's not afraid to push back with the media.

He's gracious about it, but he's tough. And I see the same thing in you and how you've been conducting your campaign.

Well, thank you. I take that as high praise. I was very proud to have Governor DeSantis in Kansas and supporting us. We had Governor Young here just last week from Virginia. Supporting us.

We have a lot of support from other Republican governors in our neighborhood out here in the Midwest. look, I mean, we do what's right for Kansas each and every day.

Sometimes, that involves looking at what other states have done with strong leadership and saying, that's a good idea. How do we make that work for our people here? And the vast majority of those good ideas come from Republican governors who are right on liberty. They are right on finances. They are right on respecting sort of the views of their people.

And we can do so much better here in Kansas. All right. Well, Mr. Attorney General, look forward to having you back on the show. Maybe as we get closer to the election, and soon we hope to be able to call you Governor Schmidt.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it, and look forward to talking with you soon. All right. Sounds great. Attorney General Derek Schmidt of the great state of Kansas on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.

And he's defending the honor of his state. I mean, really, New York City. They got what? Bagels, they got pastrami on rye and cry out the wazoo. 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

Real quick, I want to go to the phones here. Gene in Iowa's been holding on for a while. Gene, thanks for doing that. What's on your mind, sir?

Well, that all whole deal with that Russian pipeline. It's just a little hinky. The timing. And Hey, I wouldn't, but Putin has Being involved in it.

So you think Putin may be involved in this?

Well, I think he's I think he's buddied up with Biton and I think that they got some kind of deal going on. I don't know, Gene. I don't know about that. I think that Biden has cast his lot with Ukraine. What's that, Gene?

I said, Yeah, that's kind of far out there, but I'll tell you what. If they try to stop the elections, This year? The people that have been sitting on their hand. and biding their time and waiting for the election. Like you've been telling everybody not to do anything drastic.

That's going to cause an explosion in this country.

Well, Gene, I will say this. If the elections are postponed or canceled, yeah, I think all bets are off at that point. I do believe that we have to be peaceful, happy warriors, and that's how we are the most effective, is when we do not behave like the left. But if Biden were to come in and say, you know what, we're going to have to cancel the election or postpone the election because there's a mushroom cloud over, I don't know, New York or Chicago, I think you're going to have an uprising at that point. Gene, got to run.

Appreciate the call. But the reality here is this, folks. The Democrats are in a corner.

Okay. There's no way out for them, and that is when the Democrats are the most dangerous. And that's why we've got to pay very close attention to what the Democrats are doing next. All right, got to take a break here: 844-747-8868. Got to tell you about our good friends at Patriot Mobile.

All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. Wind blowing in Florida, and the rain is coming down. They're saying up maybe a couple of feet of rain. What a mess down there!

What a mess in Washington, D.C., where the White House now wants to have a conversation about the Atlanta Braves. They've got a big problem with the name of the World Series champions. Here is lesbian press secretary. I'm sorry, I keep forgetting. No, she's the lesbian and black press.

No, wait, wait, wait. Lesbian, black immigrant, legal immigrant press secretary. Ah, yes, there we go. Corinne Jean-Pierre. On the president hosting the Atlanta Braves today, wondering if you or the president has any thoughts about some of the controversial about the team name, the Braves name, the so-called Tomahawk shop.

Any thoughts on to have this conversation. You know, and Native American and Indigenous voices, they should be at the center of this conversation.

So the White House, very interested in having a conversation, changing the name of the Atlanta Braves. Governor Brian Kemp chiming in on Twitter says the Braves should always be the Atlanta Braves. Go Braves, keep chopping. Yeah. Congressman Tim Burchett, who is the Congressman out of East Tennessee, says this is not the business of Washington.

Yeah. And our good friend Herschel Walker, who's running for the U.S. Senate, said Georgia will not fall for woke Washington attempts to change the name of the greatest baseball team in America. The reigning and future World Series champs should not change their name. Good for you, Herschel Walker.

Yeah. I don't see, and you know who's not weighing in on this. I'll tell you who's not weighing in. Raphael Warnock, that commie pastor they got down there, the commie preacher who supports abortion, and also Stacey Abrams. Not talking about it either.

So I am curious, ladies and gentlemen. Should the Atlanta Braves change their name? Is there a reason for the Atlanta Braves to change their name? You know, a lot of people were upset about the. About the Cleveland Indians.

What are they now? The Guardians? It's just nuts. There's nothing wrong with calling your baseball team the Indians or the Braves. Or the Padres.

I mean, where do you draw the line here? That's what I'm asking. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

We'll be taking your calls on that. We'll also ask our good friend Governor Mike Hockabee if If he's got a thought on this, because I know that he um he's a big sports guy.

So we'll check in with him in just a little while. Let's go to the phones. Alexis is listening to us on WDUN. What's on your mind? Um yeah.

Hi, good afternoon, everyone. Um Have they cut the gas off in the Bac Baltic Sea?

Well, that's a great question. And I will try to answer that for you, Alexis. Yes, because right now it's bubbling up into the into the Baltic Sea because the things were blown to smithereens. It's a mess out there, folks. It's a mess.

And we're going to keep you updated on this. That's not over. And we're still working to understand why the United States Embassy is now telling Americans to get out of Russia. But pay very close attention. Very close attention.

And if I were you, I'd be listening to talk radio. You're going to get a fair shot here, and you're going to get the information, you're going to get the facts. And I would also encourage you to watch Tucker Carlson's show because he's going to be giving you the straight. Line as well. But what a mess out there.

All right, we got to take a break here. 844-747-8868. We'll be taking your calls on the Braves. I mean, at what point do you just. You know, in New York City, they don't even name a lot of the schools.

It's just a number, like Public School One or. Public school 12. I mean, is that what we're going to get to with our sports teams? Come on. This is the Todd Stars Radio Show.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite cunt totem Bible clinging deplorable American. That's right. I love this American rap. Todd Starr. Uh Oh yeah.

Well, hello, everybody, and welcome to hour three of the big show. Good to have you with us, border to border, coast to coast, across. the fruit had plain. And folks, we're having a great day out here. In Memphis, Tennessee, a not-so-great day in the state of Florida, where Hurricane Ian is causing all sorts of problems.

Just posted some video to the Facebook page showing what was once the beach in Fort Myers, which looks like some sort of a raging foaming waves. It's horrible. It looks like a whitewater river.

So we're we've been following the developments there. Not a good situation. Only going to get worse as the day moves on. Category four storm, one hundred and fifty five mile an hour winds.

So we'll be keeping you updated. We have a lot of video on our website, ToddSterns.com. I'd encourage you to go and check that out there. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good friend Governor Mike Ackaby. And Governor, I know you spent a lot of time in Florida.

I had a place out there on the beach. What a terrible situation. Todd, it just is horrific to watch these scenes that are coming in from Florida. uh reminds me of uh Hurricane Michael, which You know, up until a few hours before it hit land, they were saying it was going to be a Uh maybe a cat too. Turned out to be a cap five.

So this storm Is already a Cat 4. It's two miles per hour away from being Cat 5. That is just absolutely. Absolutely. Apocalyptic when it hits the land, and we're already seeing the effect of that.

Kudos to the emergency management team that's in Florida that Governor DeSantis has put in place. But there's going to be a world of hurt following this hurricane. And even though states have time to prepare, you cannot adequately prepare for something Of this consequence in size. No, you really can't. I was telling folks yesterday, one of the worst disasters is really the flooding, because even though your house is still there, I mean, it pretty much has to be gutted.

You've lost everything with the mold and the mildew. And people are going to be dealing with a lot of loss from physical things, but we just have to hope and pray that lives are not lost and that everybody did as they were encouraged to do and evacuated. After 1992, when Hurricane Andrew hit Miami so hard and there was such a just devastating loss. A lot of things changed in hurricane preparation, and some of it had to do with building code.

Now the building code in Florida is Very, very stringent. And most of the structures that have been built within the last twenty years are going to survive. the structures will. The wind will probably be abated enough. But you just mentioned what most people don't understand, the water damage.

can be so severe And the trouble with water damage, and this is true whether it's a hurricane or a flood from a river in the interior of the U. S. is that a lot of the water damage does not manifest Even months after the event. Because you have uh various electric lines, cables. and they may seem to be operating and then they just Quit.

And that's something that people will find with their appliances. And all of their wiring that very well may have to be replaced. But the immediate concern right now, human life. And that's obviously what the emergency management officials are Dealing with trying to protect human life. urge them get out of the pathway of this storm.

Evacuate. don't take chances, it's not worth it. And then you see these people standing with the microphone. Uh trying to show us how tough they are. And quite frankly, I think sometimes it makes it worse.

because there are people in their homes. They say, well, if that guy is standing out on the beach, I'm sure I'll be okay in my home. And it's not a good look. I was watching some video earlier. Tampa Bay had pretty much emptied out, so you could literally walk into the bay, and all these people were out there.

I'm like, folks, that water's coming back. You better get out of there. I mean, people can't mess around with this stuff, especially with the storm this massive. And I was watching last night the early reports coming out of Key West where there was already considerable flooding, and the hurricane was still four or five hours away.

So they're in for the long haul, and people just need to pay attention and do what the governor is recommending. And by the way, Governor Ron DeSantis, wow, what a great job he's been doing. He has been doing it. He's managing it carefully. What one has to do in this situation is well in advance of the storm hitting and start staging assets that are going to be needed once the storm is passed.

And that means everything from rescue crews, but it also means getting power companies from all over the country to make their way as far as They can without being in the path of the storm.

so that the moment that storm does pass through, There will be literally thousands. Thousands of linemen from all over America. that will be immediately moving in to start restoring power and getting things turned back on. It is a massive undertaking. The logistical challenge of it is enormous.

Uh But I think what we've seen is that Governor DeSantis Um who was a A Navy guy. You know, he understands. the idea of preparing for combat, that's a lot what he's doing. And he's done a great job of assembling a good team and being prepared for the worst of it. Governor Mike Huckabee's on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today.

And, Governor, I know you're out and about. There was some video that we just posted on our social media pages, a very bizarre scene unfolding at the Rose Garden, where there was a small stage erected. And after President Biden's remarks, he got lost on this tiny stage. The first lady can be heard in the microphone saying, just go this way, Joe.

So he tries to start following her. Then he turns around and goes the other way. It's just bizarre. But then earlier in the day, Governor Huckabee, and this is what I want you to weigh in on: President Biden was giving remarks and he made a reference to. Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, who had died back in August, he actually thought she was in the room.

Take a listen. I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Representative Governor, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was going to be here to help make this a reality. No, she wasn't going to be there because she's dead.

Governor Huckabee, I mean, what do you say about all of this? It was really just bizarre to think that he had just seen a video paying tribute. to Congresswoman Wilorski.

So he's just seen that she's passed away. They're giving her a memorial video. And then he says, yeah, where are you, Jackie?

Well, she's probably at the feet of Jesus right now, and she's unavailable to come to the White House. It was It was embarrassing and I I feel bad about it all. But this tells us that You can't just keep covering for Joe Biden. is just not really fully Aware of his surroundings and you mentioned walking off the stage every time he's on a stage. When he stops.

He turns off the podium, he puts his hands out in front of him. And it's like he either shakes hands with Casper the Ghost Or he just wanders aimlessly about until finally somebody comes and gets him? Uh it used to be they would tell him In the teleprompter, what to do, but he kept reading the instructions off the prompter as if it was part of the text.

So now they just let him wander around and whatever it is, it's just it's awful. Just awful. It's terrible, and it's very sad what's happening. And I know you can't control what happens when you get old, but somebody needs to. I think the reason why nobody is doing anything is because this is the way they want him to be.

So whoever is pulling the strings can do what needs to be done in the White House. And that leads me to this last story. Tucker Carlson weighing in on this, and he raised the question that probably needs to be raised about the Nord Stream pipelines. Clearly, they have been sabotaged. And Tucker said, Did we do this?

Because Biden promised to do it back in February. He said if Russia invaded Ukraine, the pipelines were gone. Uh and now they're gone. It would be very nice for the White House. A very firm and unequivocal denial about it.

Otherwise, that speculation not only will exist here in the United States among critics of Joe Biden. But can you imagine what's being discussed right now in Europe and among our NATO allies? as well as what Putin might be thinking. Uh, that Joe, in fact, was good on his promise, just like he said. back uh when he was vice president that if they didn't fire a prosecutor who was coming after his son, They don't get a billion dollars of USAID.

And then he gives the famous rather profane comment and says, By golly, six hours later, Uh that guy was fired, that prosecutor, and they got the money. And I always wonder, why wasn't there a congressional investigation? We need to know: did we have anything to do with the Nordstream pipeline? Or, as Karen John Pierre calls it, the Nordstrom pipeline, as if it was built by the department store. Jeez Lou.

Unbelievable. Very dangerous days in this country, Governor, as we head to the midterms. And I hope people are paying very close attention because this could unravel very quickly and we could find ourselves in a shooting war with somebody. Governor, real quick here, what's coming up on the big show this weekend? We're still trying to pin down exactly we've got two congressmen that we are working with, one of whom will be there.

But I don't want to announce which one because it may be the other. It depends on their schedules and what they can do. Our musical guest is Craig Morgan. He'll be talking about fatherhood. And I think it's going to be a very, very good show.

But then again, Todd, I think they're all good. I will say we are starting our sixth. Season coming up this weekend, which means we've been on the Air with the Huckabee Show for five solid years. and still going strong.

Well, if you ever need anybody in the band, you know, I can play a tambourine. I'm pretty good at that. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. We'll, we'll, as they say in Washington, we'll put that under advisory.

Appreciate that. All right, Governor Mike Huckabee, you're going to be able to watch his great show on Saturday. The top cable news or program and entertainment program on cable over the weekend. It's amazing. Governor, always good to have you on the program.

I don't think he's that wasn't very convincing. I can also play the spoons. I can do that. You know, the spoons. No, I can't.

No, Kyle, I cannot play the mouth heart. And please don't say those words again. Thank you. All right. Got to take a break.

844-747-8868. The moonshine? Yeah, I can blow the moonshine. I can do the jug. I can do that.

That's pretty. I can keep a beat. Pretty good for a Baptist, actually. 844-747-8868. A lot of you folks wanting to weigh in on this pipeline.

And again, as Mike Hockabee reminded us, contrary to the White House press secretary, it is not the Nordstrom pipeline. That is, in fact, the department store. We're talking about the Nordstream pipeline. Pipeline. This is the Todd Stern Show.

Yeah. You need a bad sugar button. I wanna love you. Shooting the All right, let's go to the phones here. 844-747-8868.

Nicole. From North Carolina, WSIC, our great radio station there. Nicole, what's on your mind today? Hey, Todd, how are you? I've got a little cold, so excuse me.

Oh, dear. Are you taking are you what are you taking for the cold? Nicole, let me see if I can help you. Go ahead. No, what are you taking are you taking like uh over the counter stuff?

You said you had a little cold? Yeah, I have a little cold. Oh, that's not cold. I just want to say something. I think Tucker Carlson is hitting it right on the head, and I believe that they're trying to shut him down.

Oh, no doubt about that, Nicole. And I believe and I hate to say this, but I believe that we were involved in the sabotage of that pipeline. But if you go back, you're right. If you go back to Biden and that woman, You go back to February, that's all they talked about. They talked about how the woman asked, the woman that was questioning him, the reporter, and he's like, We're going to take care of it.

And all of a sudden, the midterms are coming up, and what happens? Vicky, Nicole, you're absolutely right. It's It it's very suspicious. And these folks scary, it's scary. And then I'm listening to Truth Social.

And you know Trump, whatever he says, I I I go on true social. Trump is saying World War three anyone? Do you know? whatever Trump says Usually comes true. Yes, and President Trump is right.

We are dangerously close to that. Uh Nicole, dangerously close. This guy's got the new killer football. Could you imagine? He don't even know he don't even know where he's at.

It's true. It's true. Nicole, look, you take care of that cold. May I recommend I would let me just recommend some stuff right. Just call me Doctor Starnes, Nicole.

Get some apple brandy. It'll knock that right out. Yeah, I gotta get moonshine, huh?

Well, yeah, that'll do it too, I reckon. And you'll have the added benefit of really not caring what's blowing up in the Baltic Sea. Whatever. You know what? I'm not wearing no mask anyway, so guess what?

God bless you, and guess what? This country will get back on its feet. Oh, I have no doubt about that, Nicole. We just got to get out and vote. You go back to bed.

Stay well. Rest. Get some rest, and give us a call back when you're feeling better. Let's go to Mark. He's down in Florida.

Mark, are you still at the villages or have you guys been evacuated? Yeah. No, no, we're still at the villages. It doesn't look too, too bad here yet because it's just below us. It's in our coming up towards Orlando.

So we're getting some some light winds right now, but they're saying that we won't get it until late tonight, these higher winds. Up to maybe 90 miles an hour. Mark, what are you hearing from down south from you guys? I hear Ford Myers not looking good. Yes, Inglewood, we have some friends in Inglewood, and he's right in the line of fire, and it doesn't look really good for him.

He's been in touch with me on and off. The phone's been coming in and out. He's eighty miles due south of Tampa. This thing's about 400 miles wide and they're saying there's enough Yeah, they're saying there's enough storm power the supply in New England for a year in it. Too bad you just don't know how to harvest it.

Mark, are you guys seeing the storm surge? They were talking about some pretty bad storm surge. What are you guys hearing down there?

Well, down in Inglewood, that's the target right now, down in Tampa. They're getting high storm surges there. He's on a higher elevation, maybe about eight thousand, maybe nine thousand feet, and he's got some friends that decided to hunker down and They're not that high, you know, maybe a few thousand feet up, and they're getting. He had to let me go because he says he's got to go get them. And it's kind of like, well, that's a little too late now.

So don't risk your life and do it. They should have done this a while ago. And so they're getting pounded down on the coast.

Now the coast is about seventy miles from us. But again, it's in Tampa below us, but it's going to start coming up here. And the biggest concern we have right now is the tornadoes that are starting to spawn from this, and you've got them scattered all over the place.

So there's nothing worse than being in these houses. And you hear the roaring of sounds above you, this late at night. That's like we're going to get out of where we're at, we're going to go to a more solid. stable structure. To where we're going to be a little bit safer.

But the winds are just now starting to pick up here. Um but I know later tonight it's going to be bad.

Well, Mark, I want you to keep us updated. Give us a call back tomorrow. And if you can, let us know how things are. I know a lot of people out there praying for you guys as well as the entire state of Florida. But this is one you got to take seriously.

So you hang in there, hunker down, and make sure those golf carts. I've been to the villages. Make sure those golf carts are latched down. I know. I was going to fly them like a kite, you know, with a big rope.

But, you know, Ron, like I want to shout out to Ron again. Ron DeSantis has done a phenomenal job. I mean, like I said, I sent you some stuff. He unloaded on a couple of reporters already. They tried to make it a political Incredible for this state, and he's done unbelievable.

We appreciate everybody's prayers. All right, Mark, we got to leave it there, my friend. You be safe. Folks, if you are in Florida, hang tight. Do what they're telling you to do.

Hunker down. Don't get out now. It's too late. But you give us a call. Let us know what's happening.

844-747-8868. We'll be right back. No, I really do. I do. I feel bad.

I feel bad for the first black lesbian immigrant press secretary. I really do. Corinne Jean-Pierre. She's having to field a lot of questions from the press corps, and they're a little frisky today. And they're asking a lot of questions about why Joe Biden was referencing the dead Congresswoman.

Now, if you're just joining us, and I'm going to play this, and we're going to get Ralph Freed to weigh in on this.

So, Biden earlier today, we're going to play what he said as he was introducing a dead Congresswoman. And I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Representative Governor, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was going to be here to help make this a reality. She's not there.

She's not there. So anyway, they asked Miss Jean Pierre about this at the press briefing mere moments ago. Final one. What happened in the hunger event today? The President appeared to look around the room For an audience member, a member of Congress who passed away last month, he seemed to indicate she might be in the room.

So, the president was, as you all know, you guys were watching today's event, a very important event on food insecurity. The president was naming the congressional champions on this issue and was acknowledging her incredible work. He had already planned to welcome the congresswoman's family to the White House on Friday. There will be a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday.

So, of course, she was on his mind. She was of top of mind for the president. He very much looks forward to discussing her remarkable legacy of public service with them when he sees her family this coming Friday. He said, Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie?

She must not be here. No, I totally understand. I just explained, she was on top of mind. You know, this wasn't what we were able to witness today, and what the president was able to lift up at this conference, at this event, was how her focus on wanting to deal with combat food insecurity in America. All right, something does you know you feel banned for her because you know what she wants to say.

She wants to tell the press corps: I got nothing. I know, I know he was talking to a dead person. What do you expect from me? Yeah. But Then let's send her a six pack of Abita Springs root beer.

That might help make her day a little bit better. All right, let's go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Our good friend, the founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and the man who, quite frankly, is probably going to be responsible for helping us retake the Congress this fall, Ralph Reid. Ralph, first, good to have you with us. What do you make of all of that in Washington today?

Well, I certainly don't envy Corrine Jean-Pierre. It's. serving as the press spokesperson for this President is is like being a piñata, you know, given the number of verbal miscues and gaps and You know, memory lapses and other things that you deal with with this president. And I'm not going to speculate about what the reason is, but I think what's more concerning you know, obviously, this is good for a a good natured laugh and there's a little bit of comedic relief, but But what's not funny and what's not humorous. Uh is the is the damage and the devastation and the wreckage left by the policies of this President and his administration.

And that's what's not going to be on the ballot in roughly forty two days. From today. The average Family in America. is spending five thousand dollars more for the same good the same groceries, and the same services that they did when Joe Biden became president. That's $5,000 that is a tax on every family in America.

through higher prices Higher inflation. And that doesn't even get into the seven trillion dollars in wealth that has evaporated. in the market. because of what I think we all know is either a current or impending recession, brought about specifically by the policies of Joe Biden. And you know, they can run, but they can't hide.

They're going to be on the ballot. Joe Biden may not be, but all those who voted for these policies are. and it isn't going to be pretty. No, it's not going to be pretty. And it's not funny, whatever is going on there.

And we are not speculating on this program, but I will say this, Ralph. It is very important that we have a commander-in-chief. We are talking about the leader of the free world. And quite frankly, if there weren't a mountain of other issues that voters are concerned about, I have to imagine this would be number one because somebody is calling the shots, and I'm not sure it's actually Joe Biden. And that's what troubles me, especially when you look at a lot of the economic decisions and policies, for example, forcing people to buy the electric cars, things of that nature.

So I think there's ⁇ I guess there are a lot of dumpster fires burning right now in this country, Ralph. Yes, there really are. And I know Joe Biden. I know Joe and Jill Biden. I've testified before his committee when he was on the Hill.

I debated him. You know, he's not a friend of mine. I don't know him well, but I do know him. And candidly, the only thing that would concern me more then somebody other than him calling the shots is him calling the shot. I mean, th this is a man about whom Bob Gates famously said was wrong about every single foreign policy Yes, you.

in the last thirty or forty years. And if you don't believe me, just look at the fact that it was his call to unilaterally withdraw from Afghanistan in the most humiliating departure for U. S. forces since the fall of Saigon in April of nineteen seventy five, leaving eighty billion dollars worth of U. S.

material and hardware in the possession of America's worst enemies, and allowing the head of Al Qaeda to lounge in a luxury apartment in the heart of Kabul. And I'm glad that we got Zawahiri. I give great credit to the U.S. military forces and our intelligence services, That we got him? But the fact that he was in Kabul in one of the toniest neighborhoods in that city, tells you all you need to know.

about the fact that the terrorists who mean us ill and plan to attack our homeland again. Are being harbored. by the Taliban. And I don't believe for one minute Todd. That Vladimir Putin would have ever gone into Ukraine if Donald Trump was in the White House.

And I think it was that projection of timidity that telegraphing of weakness. that caused Russia to invade Ukraine and has now led to the first major land war on the Eurasian continent. since the end of World War II. It's been one failure after another. It is a catalogue of horrors.

And every one of these Democratic members of Congress and Senate voted for these policies and supports them. And the American people are going to render their verdict on November 8th. And Ralph, the polling data coming out is truly jaw-dropping. Grinnell College national polling data, just 36% of voters approve of President Biden. We're talking 41 days out from the midterms.

Other information that's coming out in the polling data, 77 percent talking about the economy say it was very bad to fairly bad. But among independents, 51 percent, and that's the key, the independents. Ralph, how are things looking out there across the country? What are you seeing?

Well, I think the Democrats got a little bit of a sugar high post Dobbs. you know, and they wanted to run on abortion. and try and scare the living daylights out of their base and some college educated suburban women. And tell them that jobs meant that abortion was banned in America. It did no such thing.

It simply meant that for the first time in fifty years, we'd be able to debate and discuss this and states would be able to enact laws in that area of law. Um and uh The most recent inflation report that came out last week the increases in interest rates by the Fed uh the implosion of the market stock market, I mean, has brought the economy and inflation back to the very top of mind. of concerned voters. And I would just cite two particular data points, Todd, to amplify what you were sharing from that poll you talked about. and they're both liberal organizations.

Okay. One is Washington Post ABC News poll which I think came out over the weekend, Which Solve a generic ballot. Yeah. That's among registered voters, by the way. If you put a likely voter screen on that, it would probably favor the Republicans by two, three or four.

And they had in that poll Joe Biden's job approval nationally at thirty nine percent.

Now let me tell you something. If the Washington Post says Joe Biden's job approval is under forty, Uh it's lower. And that means in battleground states like Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, it's lower. because the presence of New York or California or Illinois is artificially elevating his national job approval. One other data point.

This is a New York Times Sienna College poll. I believe from week before last They had Um Biden's fave unfave at dead even among Hispanic voters, and the strongly disapprove of his job approval was thirty percent among Hispanics. and the strongly approved was over fifteen. Was only fifteen percent. That means twice as many Hispanics.

strongly disapprove of the job Biden's doing, which reflects intensity. and their likelihood to vote. been strongly approved. That is a That is a red light on the dashboard for any Democratic candidate anywhere in America, but especially in areas with large Hispanic uh uh electorate voters in the electorate, like Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. Nevada.

all of which have critical Congressional and Senate races going on. What I find interesting here, Ralph, and looking at some other polling data on the Senate races, where it looks like Republicans are now leading and again, tight races in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada. Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida, where the Republicans actually hold leads. And what I think is interesting, Breitbart's now calling New Hampshire a swing state. This could be truly a remarkable historic election for Republicans if things continue to go in this direction.

It could be. We need to insert a word of caution, and that is. Things have already shifted a couple of times in this midterm election. I don't think there's any question about the fact that the leak of the Dobbs decision and then its ultimate issuance on june twenty fourth, did enable them to sort of prod awake uh a Democratic base that was in a coma. It probably caused them to get those voters to come home a little earlier than they otherwise might have.

But all indications are that, that temporary momentum shift has ended. And all the voters that are going to get motivated by the abortion issue on both sides of the ball are already motivated and the swing voters, the independent voters, the persuadable voters. particularly in the vote rich suburbs. they are getting moved by the economy.

So We don't want to prematurely celebrate it. We've got a big job to do and only forty plus days to do it. As I think you know, Todd, my organization, Faith and Freedom Coalition, Yeah. knocking on over 8 million doors in 26 states. and we are reaching right at or just under fifteen million Bible believing conservative Christian voters In their homes.

to turn them out. That is the largest such operation by an organization on the center right outside the two political parties in your or my lifetime. And I'm not able to divulge because the information is obviously proprietary. But we're asking these voters whether they intend to vote. whether they intend to vote by mail in person earlier on election day.

what issues are driving them. And I am just telling you, again, without disclosing what is proprietary, that these folks are coming. are coming in huge numbers. and they're coming early by mail or in person. and it is going to be a game changer.

Well, Ralph, I'm excited to hear that. And I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have seen that excitement firsthand. You guys had me as a part of that incredible gathering in Georgia with the Faith and Freedom Coalition. And just to see the enthusiasm and how fired up that crowd was, we were sharing that information with our national audience. And it's encouraging to see, and it's really inspirational.

And Ralph, we're going to have to leave it there, but I really do appreciate the great work you guys are doing at Faith and Freedom Coalition. Right back at you, Todd. We appreciate your friendship, your partnership and all you do on the radio and the media. In being a voice for our values and for the faith community. Honored to be with you.

Okay, simple enough. Just gotta get in there with my screwdriver. Do you mind handing me my screwdriver? Are you trying to say screwdriver?

Well, I mean, you're saying it weird, but yeah, sure. Look, maybe we should bundle our home and auto with Progressive. We could save big, then pay someone to install this for us so you don't have to pretend you can. I know my way around a screwdriver. Oh, yeah.

This is gonna take a Philippe's head for sure. Save when bundling home and auto with Progressive and use the money to, you know, not do it yourself.

Um All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

So glad to have you with us. Let's go to the phones. Vicki from North Carolina has been holding for a while. WHKP. A lot of North Carolina callers today.

Hey, Vicky, what's on your mind? Hi, Todd. Nice to speak with you. Thank you. What I'm thinking about is how the devastation in Florida is going to impact the election in November.

Okay. The state is going to be in good enough shape to where people can go somewhere physically to vote? Um you know, and where all this devastation make it a lot harder to get the votes counted. Um is President Stock Puppet and his minions going to Say something about well, we can't have the election because we have to wait for what goes on in Florida. And then in the meantime, he can pull all kinds of stunts.

I I don't know. That's That's something that concerns me. Vicki, I think it's too soon to tell. We don't know the extent of the damage down there just yet. I have no doubt that Ron DeSantis is not going to allow any hijinks at the ballot box.

So I feel pretty good about that. As far as whether or not Biden would come in and use that, use the hurricane as the reason for postponing the election, I'm not sure that's it. This is going to have to be something that would instill fear across a wide swath of the country.

So I don't think the hurricane would do that unless, and again, we're following the trajectory, it's supposed to go up the eastern seaboard to some extent.

So we'll see. But Vicki, it's a good question you have, and thanks for. Thanks for hanging out with us today. Hey, folks, wow, the time has expired. We're going to have to do this all over again tomorrow.

Be sure to pray for the good people down in Florida. It's a mess down there. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show.
