Tuberville Slammed for Saying Dems are Pro-Crime

Welcome to the Todd Starn Show sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacypminvestments dot com. That's legacypminvestments. com.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American rapid stars. Yeah. And hello.

America, welcome to the Todd Starns Radio Show. We are now 28 days from the midterm elections when we take back this nation from the communists. Welcome, welcome, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a lot going on today as we work our way through some of the major races that are unfolding around the nation. Folks, it is looking very, very good for Republicans, but I caution you that we have to be out there campaigning.

We have to be out there recruiting for our candidates like we are 20 points behind. But it's looking very, very good. For the first time in somewhat, what, 40 years? It looks as though Oregon could have a Republican governor. Rhode Island, there's a very competitive congressional race there.

It looks like for the first time in a very long time that a Republican could actually be representing Rhode Island in the House of Representatives. And some of the numbers, some of the data that's coming. In, it ought to make all of us feel very good. The country is going to hell in a handbasket, ladies and gentlemen. Dumpster fires burning all over America, and everybody sees it.

Even the Democrats see it. By the way, an interesting tidbit, if you will, there is a report out that Barack Hussein Obama is not even giving money to the Democrat causes or the candidates, because even Obama sees what's about to happen in the midterm elections. I predict this is going to be a repudiation of the Democrat agenda. By and large, folks, people are just disgusted. And it's not just conservatives here.

We're watching the numbers on the Hispanic side, and especially among Hispanic voters. They are beginning to turn to the Republicans in numbers that we have not seen ever, ever before.

So, good job, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a lot of work to do, and I hope that you invite your friends, your loved ones, to listen to this radio program. We're just going to shoot straight, we're going to tell you what's going on, I'm going to share with you my analysis, and we're going to get through this together. But we've got to maintain, folks, and we have to unite around the Republican Party platform, which, by the way, is a winning platform.

Now I want to start out here. With an item we posted on the Facebook Live page. And folks, you can listen to us on Facebook Live, Rumble, Getter, ToddSterns.com, wherever you get your podcast. There are lots of different ways to listen to this radio program. But anyway, s Alabama Senator Tommy Tubberville made some comments over the weekend that have really triggered the left.

The senator was speaking at a Trump rally, and here's what he had to say about the Democrats and reparations.

Some people say, well, they're soft on crime. No, they're not soft on crime. They're pro-crime. They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got.

They want to control what you have. They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bullshit. They are not old that.

So now they're out there accusing Tubberville of being a racist and CNN, MSNBC, among those that are out there saying, well, we all know that's just code. We know that's code.

Well, did you hear the word black? Did you hear any skin color referenced in that sound bite? No, of course not. Because it's not true.

Now you say, Todd, how can you say that? How can you say it's not true?

Well, it's very clear to me it's not true because we went back. And again, on this program, we have a vast vault where we store these incredible little audio nuggets. And we know for a fact that Black Lives Matter back in the year 2020 actually said that looting is reparations, cut number eight. If somebody decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy's or a Nike, because that makes sure that that person eats, that makes sure that that person has clothes, that's reparations. That is reparations.

Anything they want to take, take it, because these businesses have insurance. They're going to get their money back. My people aren't getting anything. There you go. That was the leader of the Chicago Black Lives Matter back in 2020.

Those comments were made after hundreds of minorities, non-white people, took to the streets of Chicago and they rampaged, looted, pillaged, plundered. Looks like a swarm of locusts had gone through. There wasn't anything left. And as you heard her say, the reason why they were looting the Gucci stores is they got to put bread on the table. Mm-mm-mm.

So this is not Tommy Tupperville just making things up. This is the senator from Alabama standing up and calling out the left, calling out the Democrats, because they are the ones who created this mess we are all in, ladies and gentlemen. This defund the police movement and look what it has done to the United States of America. Every single, every single major American city is in ruin right now. Every single one.

And we have no one to blame but the godless anti-cop. Pro-crime Democrats. And the Democrats don't like this because they're being called out now. Keep in mind, Republicans would never do this. Before Donald Trump got elected, Republicans would never do something like this because they were terrified of the media.

They were scared of the media.

Well, I got to tell you something here, folks. We don't have time to be scared anymore. You got to stand up to these bullies. I mean, what do you do? Let's just think about this for a moment.

I know everybody's scared of like Anderson Cooper and Donnie Lemon and Little Jimmy Acosta. They're terrified of these guys. Take away the pancaked makeup and the guy liner and the bazillion-dollar suits, and you take away the hair product. And what do you have? I mean, you've got these little wimpy.

Squishy nerds. Why are you scared of these people? And by the way, on CNN, MSD, and C, nobody watches those people anymore. Nobody. It's terrible.

It's sort of embarrassing. But again, when you go back to 2020 and when you look at what's been happening, there is an idea here that this is really all about reparations. They want what you have and they are going to steal it. I want you to listen again. Cut number eight.

This is the head of Black Lives Matter in Chicago. If somebody decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy's or a Nike, because that makes sure that that person eats. That makes sure that that person has clothes. That's reparations. Uh That is reparations.

Anything they want to take, take it, because these businesses have insurance. They're going to get their money back. My people aren't getting anything. There you go. They want what you have.

And they're going to take it. And they have been taking it. And the Democrats don't appreciate the fact that they just got called out on it. By the way, someone sent me some video. You know, here in Memphis, Tennessee, we're just, it's really sad.

I mean, it's really sad. Beautiful city, beautiful people, but they vote Democrat and they vote progressive Democrat, and the cops are just far outnumbered.

So there's video of that, and I don't know if this is happening in your community, where they have drag races on the interstate. They'll drive 120, 30 miles an hour, and the cops cannot chase them. But then there was this video of an intersection, and the people are doing the doughnuts. Like in the middle of it, this is an actual working Intersection. And the police there's a police car right there, and the people are upset.

Well, why isn't that cop doing anything? How come the police officer is not out there stopping these guys from doing these donuts and causing all sorts of chaos in the streets? I'm going to answer that question for you. Yeah. because you don't want them to.

To all you people out there. And especially in the Memphis area. You've been after the cock How dare those how dare those police officers arrest those good little boys? They're just good boys. They go to church and they look after their mother.

How dare you they're just good boys. How dare you Well, you know what? The police backed off. Because every time the police do try to do something, they're accused of racism. Every time the police do try to step in, they're accused of police brutality.

So it's darned if you do, darned if you don't put for police officers. But honestly, in this current environment, wherever you are in law enforcement, you are better off not doing anything because that way at least you'll be able to keep your pension. And you can't tell me that police officers that are putting on the uniform and badge every single day and walking out onto those streets, they're not thinking about that because they are. Everybody's got a cell phone camera. Everybody knows how to edit to make it look like the police are the bad guys.

So, I don't blame the cops for not getting out there and stopping the people doing the donuts because if they did, there'd be an NAACP march on City Hall. Here's a thought. All of you anti-cop people out there, maybe just maybe get your butts off the front porch of your houses and go patrol the streets. Unbelievable. But this is what the Democrats have done, ladies and gentlemen.

This is what they have done. You people in North Carolina, pay attention. You've got a woman. Running for the U. S.

Senate, Democrat. Her name is Cherie Beasley. Cut number one It is shocking to see our workplaces, businesses and community spaces damaged. But we must recognize the legitimate pain and weight of years of disparate treatment that fuels these demonstrations. We must be willing to hear that message even when we are saddened by the way it is delivered.

We must decry the failures of justice and equity just as forcefully as we decry violence. It is not enough to say to protesters, go home and follow the rules. It's just not that simple. All right.

So that's Miss Beasley defending the riots of 2020. You folks in North Carolina need to know who could get elected to represent you in the U.S. Senate. This is a woman who believes that rioting, that pillaging and plundering is legal. She believes that those looters have a right to come into your store and take everything you've got.

Cut number two.

So the protesting Has been helpful. I'm sorry that there's been an effort to be divisive around it. Because I believe the protests have been offered an opportunity to allow people to really think differently. It's not supposed to be easy. It's supposed to be challenging.

We didn't start with difficulties around racism and racial and gender disparities yesterday. We really didn't. And so it won't be a week. And we have to have a long-term commitment, but I believe the protests, and I understand that folks are concerned about violence and all that, but that's the detraction in my mind around what the real issues are. The folks who've been out there who have been peacefully protesting, which has really been the majority of folks, have every right to do that.

They have the First Amendment right to do that and a constitutional right to do that. And I believe that in so many ways, those protests have been fruitful and they have moved our nation forward. And I'm so proud, especially of the young people who have used their voices in that way. What I am hopeful, though, is that they don't stop speaking in those protests, that they have to understand that in order to really leverage the power that they have, it takes protests plus voting. All right, that's BLM Beasley.

She's running for U.S. Senate. and the Carolinas. And she is pro-crime. Folks, I believe this is the signature issue because every single city, every single town in America is dealing with this.

We are all suffering because of these defund the police Democrats. All right, we've got to take a break here. 844-747-8868. Do you agree with Senator Tuberbolt what he said? Was that racism to point out that reparations is being legalized in this nation?

844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern show. We are all feeling the pain at the pump and at the grocery store, too. The market is plunging, and Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. But even worse, seniors are struggling to survive.

It's not time to panic, but it is time to act. My friends at AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, will help you save money on things like cell phone plans, travel, and restaurants. But AMAC does much more than offer senior discounts. Your membership will support their nonprofit, AMAC. Action, which takes the challenges against our Constitution and the free market straight to Capitol Hill.

Joining is easy. Just go to amac.us slash starnes to start saving today. 2.3 million Americans have already joined AMAC, and you should too. AMAC cares about you and America, so save money and support conservative causes. Go to amac.us slash starnes.

It's only $16 per year. And great news, anyone can join. Go to AMAC.us slash starnes. That's amac.us slash starnes. All right.

Got to say a huge thank you to our good buddy Steve Gill, who is one of the best political analysts out there. Steve filled in for me on Friday. I was on the road, and folks, it's just been pretty crazy the travel cycle, but a lot of folks inviting us to come and speak and really to rally and encourage conservative voters. On Friday night, I was in Rutherford County, North Carolina, flew into Charlotte and drove. By the way, when are they going to finish building that airport in Charlotte?

That thing's been under construction for at least 15 years. Anyway, I flew into the airport and had a wonderful time, got to meet many, many people, over 300. People turned out for this great Lincoln-Reagan dinner and just a wonderful night.

So encouraged by the enthusiasm among Republicans in North Carolina. And I'm wondering, again, Friday night also there was the big debate. Ted Budd, and my understanding is, of course, I was speaking, so I could not watch the debate, but Ted Budd apparently knocked it out of the ballpark.

So I'm excited because we could see some incredible gains. Also, and I want to point this out. Herschel Walker.

So now Fox News is turning on Herschel Walker. Yesterday, media buzz, the entire show or at least a portion of the show rather, the entire cast of characters, every single one of them Said Herschel Walker was lying. They didn't believe Herschel Walker.

Well, they offer no evidence and no proof of that. As a matter of fact, the new evidence coming out is that the woman who reportedly accused Herschel Walker was a big supporter of the campaign.

So a lot of questions there about what's going on. Why did this woman turn on Herschel Walker? And at this point, because these text messages affirming Herschel Walker, so she was literally texting Herschel Walker's wife and talking about what a great guy he was. And now all of a sudden she turns on Herschel Walker.

So you have a choice, Georgia voters. You can either believe Herschel or not believe Herschel. He has been out there, and has he made the most eloquent argument in the interviews? No, he has not, but that's up to the person asking the questions, and that's the big problem. Herschel's going on Fox News.

A lot of those people at Fox News channel are pro-abortion. Or they're Democrats. Or they just don't know the right questions to ask.

So, based on all the information that I've been able to ascertain and glean over the past week now, it seems to me that Herschel Walker has been telling the truth, and that Herschel Walker, from since 2009, when he had this radical change in his life and turned his life around, he's been living the straight and narrow. And unless somebody has evidence to the contrary, and it better be rock-solid evidence, then he's still got my support.

Okay. And it looks as though the average voters in Georgia feel the same way. 844-747-8868, that's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. By the way, happy Columbus Day.

It's okay to say that on this radio program. All these people out there now, what are they calling it? Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day? We're going to talk about this coming up after the break. But now it's like hundreds of the cities and towns around the country are celebrating something called Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Well, I hate to break it to you here, folks, but our forefathers, our ancestors, conquered this land. It belongs to us now. Yeah. And if you've got a problem with that. You Eurocentric person, then you're more than happy to catch the next British Airways flight back across the big pond.

But as for me and mine, I'm pretty happy that Christopher Columbus did what he did. And that's a reason to celebrate. All right, got to take a break. 844-747-8868. Do you say Indigenous peoples?

Does anybody really say that? I bet the people who post their pronouns do. Yeah, pretty much. We'll be right back, folks. Illegal drug trafficking has turned our southern border into a war zone.

It's a war that no one wants to talk about. That's why I urge you to see Border Battle, the new six-part limited documentary series from Turning Point USA. It exposes the sheer evil and inhumanity of drug cartels and the illegal drug trade. Fentanyl has killed tens of thousands of Americans. It's so dangerous, just three grains of fentanyl can kill you.

Border Battle reveals how illegal immigration, human trafficking, and America's drug crisis has only been made worse by decades of government neglect. Today's drug cartels are militarized with sophisticated weapons, tanks, and drones that drop explosives on their drug competitors right on our southern border. We've never seen this before in the history of our country. Hear directly from drug and border patrol agents about the horrific conditions. Conditions along the border and what life is really like on the front lines.

Watch Border Battle Now. Download the full six-part documentary series at SalemNow.com. That's SalemNow.com.

Okay. What does six different kilometers mean to me? A murder. Columbus is a moron. I think Christopher Columbus is, to put it lightly, a jerk.

Christopher Columbus, I think, is disgusting. He brought over colonialism and tried to eradicate Indigenous peoples on these lands. That guy was a sailor lost at sea on these boats that were just about to fall apart. I mean, he didn't know where he was, or I mean, his whole conception of the world was completely erroneous. And why we celebrate this man is completely beyond me, but here we are rewriting up history in the way that it should be written.

I am here honoring our ancestors. I hated Columbus Day. Sure, it was a day off from school, from work, but I'm glad they changed it to Indigenous Peoples' Day. He's a jerk. He's a million.

Who are these people? What are they teaching the kids in the public schools? Hey, here's the deal. You know what? Yes, we were colonials.

Our forefathers were colonials. We supported colonialism. And he got a problem with that, then guess what? Delta is ready when you are, and you can go and live in any Country in the world. That's what you can do.

As a matter of fact, I would contend America would be much better off if you just packed your bags and I will pay for your ticket, your one-way ticket to wherever you want to go: Venezuela, Cuba, if you want to go to, I don't know, Ukraine. We'll probably don't want to go to Ukraine today. By the way. Have you been following the developments out of Ukraine and Russia? The war is getting bad, folks.

It's getting bad.

So over the weekend, the Ukrainians allegedly blew up a. Major bridge. As a matter of fact, it's the only bridge linking Russia to Crimea.

Now, what's fascinating about this is that there are some in the United States that are actually blaming Russia.

So they want you to believe that Russia blew up its own bridge, and that these are the same people that want you to believe that Russia blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. It makes absolutely no sense. Uh And now you've got Now you've got Russia retaliating.

Now I don't believe for a minute that Russia blew up either of those things. It certainly looks to me that somebody, namely the Biden administration, is shoving us into a shooting war with the Russians.

So this morning, Vladimir Putin decided to play some hardball, and they have launched numbers of missiles. We're talking dozens and dozens of missiles into Ukrainian cities, including Kiev.

Now I guess fashionable to call the town. But anyway, now people are accusing Russia of war crimes for retaliating against the bridge strike. May I just ask a question here? There were innocent people on that bridge that was blown to smithereens. I don't seem to recall anybody shouting war crimes against Zelensky.

Do you? According to Breitbart, a building housing, the visa office of the German consulate was hit. No word on injuries, but we're being told there are fatalities all over the nation. And now the Biden administration coming out with a statement just a few moments ago condemning the attack. Keep in mind, this is Joe Biden just a few days ago who was warning people of a nuclear apocalypse.

Now, I don't know about you. But that kind of talk really concerns me. Because I believe this could be the October surprise. This could be it. And Joe Biden knows that if he really wants to rally the nation, there's no better way to do that.

than to be involved in some sort of an armed conflict.

Now the question is, what is Putin going to do here? That's the big question. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

I don't know about you, but but I miss those mean tweets. As a matter of fact, I think most people in the country would agree that we would rather have mean tweets than a radioactive mushroom cloud over New York City. Because that's where all of this is headed. If somebody, if somebody doesn't tap on the brakes here. But nobody's willing to do that under the Biden administration.

They're not willing to tap on the brakes. And as a result, I I can't even imagine. I can't even imagine what would happen should there be a nuclear war. Because that's what World War III will be, ladies and gentlemen. It will be a nuclear war.

All right, I want to get to this um Report out of Florida. Grady Judd, I love this guy. He is the sheriff of Polk County, Florida. They've been having a lot of looting problems down there because of the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. And the sheriff came out, and, you know, he's not one of these woke sheriffs.

He's not like most of the sheriffs in America. No, this is a sheriff's sheriff. And he doesn't mind just cutting to the chase and telling the citizens of Florida how they should be conducting themselves. Cut number five. People have a right to be safe in their homes.

They have a right for their property to be safe, even when part of their home may be torn away. And these looters, that's unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable. I would highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes into your home. Why you're there to steal stuff? that you take your gun and you shoot him.

You shoot him so that he looks like grated cheese. Because you know what? That's one looter that won't break into anyone else's home and take advantage of them when they're the most vulnerable and the most weak. Yeah, that's what it means to be tough on crime. Right there.

And he's right.

Somebody breaks into your house. You shoot 'em. You shoot them and you shoot them dead. And if you can't shoot them dead, make sure you get them in the kneecap so they'll never be able to do something like that again. That's what the sheriff is saying.

Look, this happened over the weekend in Memphis in one of the highfalute and gated communities here. And some guy broke into somebody's house, and those are the mansions over there in that part of town.

Somebody broke into one of the mansions, and what did the homeowner do? Like a good, law-abiding, constitution-loving southerner. He put the bad guy out of his misery. And there will not be, and the guy's not being charged because he was defending himself and his home. And I say good for you, Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, Florida, who says you have an obligation, ladies and gentlemen, law abiding homeowners and gun owners, to make sure the looters look like grated cheese.

I love that. By the way, Grace, I don't know if you saw this video. We've got it up on our website of the Hooters, which is a fine dining establishment known for their Chicken breasts and delicious wings. And so, anyway, there was a Hooters in Texas of all places, Plano, Texas. And I don't know if you've seen these guys.

We had them around Memphis. Usually it's a bunch of black kids and they're selling the candy bars. Oh, yeah. Raising money for the basketball team, the football team. And then you ask allegedly, because I always ask questions.

I'm like, oh, what sort of a team? Because I do like to give money to charity. I like to help people out. And I'll always ask questions, and you never get any answers. Yeah.

I'm like, oh, well, do you have any official documentation? Why aren't you wearing your uniforms? I mean, typically, where's the coach?

So, anyway, they were doing that. There were a bunch of shirtless young men in the parking lot harassing customers, trying to get them to buy these chocolate candy bars. And so, the manager of the Hooters goes out and says, Hey, you can't do that here. You're not allowed to solicit on Hooters' property. True.

They want those dollar bills going somewhere else. And so, anyway, at that point, and this is all on video, we have it on our website. I mean, these guys just unleashed. I mean, it was like, I've never seen anything like this. They started beating the living daylights out of the manager, who was a white guy.

And I have to, the only reason I'm sharing the skin color here is because I find this part to be sort of humorous.

So. The white guy tries to assume the Black Lives Matter position. Remember, taking a knee?

So he was trying to, he thought that if he showed solidarity with the BLM movement, that he would not get a beat down. He was just like, he was like, I'm surrendering now. Yeah. Just it didn't work. They beat the living crap out of that guy, broke his arm.

Horrible. And they were trying to smash in. They smacked around a Hooter's waitress. And she showed, look, somebody, and then the guys, some of the customers tried to push back. A couple of the customers got injured.

They were smashing windows. They were throwing things through the windows, glass flying everywhere. And all of this was captured on video. Chaos. No, I saw it.

It's insane. Absolute chaos. Why was this not national news? Why was it not national news when you had a student, a cop at a high school, was trying to break up a fight on campus? The cop was grabbed from behind by a teenage student and bombed.

Body slammed to the ground. Why didn't that make national news?

So there's a whole lot of this reparation nonsense going on, but nobody wants to talk about it. There is a lot of crime, but nobody wants to talk about the crime because they don't want to be accused of being called a racist. Look, I don't care what. You could be purple for all I care. You obey the law of the land.

I just want to be safe. Stop raising your kids to be animals. I just want to go eat some chicken wings and watch the football game. That's it. Buffalo Wild Wings, much better wings, by the way.

Yeah, I kind of regret it. All that to say, well, Papa John's have good wings. No, no. You got to get them well off. That's a whole nother.

No, no. All that to say: I want to be able to have my chicken wings delivered to my home in time for the Tennessee Valley's butt-kicking that they delivered over the weekend of the LSU Tigers without having to worry about the delivery guy getting carjacked. Is it too much to ask America? Is it really too much to ask? That's all.

844-747-8868. Yes, we got a crime problem, but we got the bigger problem is when you look at the number of single family households in this country, that's the problem. You don't have mommies and daddies especially, daddies teaching their kids right from wrong. That's the biggest problem, I believe. 844-747-8868, toll-free telephone number.

You got to go watch this video. It's insane. Just absolutely insane. But look, if the mob is coming after you, the worst position you can take is the BLM take-a-knee position. Your butt needs to either be running, and if you're not armed, your butt needs to be out of there.

'Cause they'll kill you. 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 Starnes, and no doubt our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself.

But then last week, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. was back in court. They targeted Jack again because of his Christian faith.

I have a question for you people in Tennessee, which is my home state, by the way. What's up with the governor? His name is Bill Lee. He is supposedly a Republican, supposedly a conservative. But this is a guy who has been very squishy on a lot of the big issues of the day.

Now, last week, we told you about 11 pro-lifers here in Tennessee that were arrested. They were raided by the FBI. For whatever reason, the FBI has now declared war on pro-life leadership, and they are playing hardball.

So there were a number of pro-life leaders here in Tennessee. Their homes were raided in the early morning. One of the guys was getting ready to take his kids to school. These are all very peaceful people. And I'd like to know why the governor hasn't spoken out on this.

Not a word from Governor Bill Lee condemning these jackbooted tactics of the FBI. One of the pro-lifers, a guy named Chet Gallagher, was raided Wednesday. The charges related to a pro-life event where he and others peacefully and prayerfully attempted to convince mothers seeking an abortion to choose life. This was happening at a facility in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. That day, local police arrested several pro-lifers on misdemeanor trespassing charges, and they were later released.

So why is the FBI getting involved in misdemeanors? And they're not the only ones.

So now they're accusing all of these pro-lifers of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

So, in other words, if you're standing on the sidewalk in front of an abortion murder facility, then you could be arrested. If you're just standing there, you could be arrested. You could face a maximum of 11 years in prison and $100 million in fines. And so that's what they're doing now.

So this is hardball. And folks, Pay attention. Pay attention. They're doing this because these people are pro-life and because they're conservative. And they're coming after all of us.

All of us.

So, why is it that Governor Bill Lee is not condemning this kind of behavior? Do you think that Ron DeSantis would have just stood by and watched? No condemnation at all. There's no comment from the governor's office, and everybody's been trying, but nobody from the governor's office is talking about this. And maybe you, as a citizen, might have a little bit better luck.

But this is a guy who even opposed a truth in sentencing bill. You say, what is that? Very simple. You murder somebody, you get 25 years in prison, you got to serve all 25 years. No ifs, ands, or buts.

And Governor Bill Lee stood in opposition to that law. He calls himself a Republican. He says he's a conservative. I don't believe it. Look, you shall know them by the fruit, and I don't see any fruit.

Yeah. I just see a bunch of nuts. That's what I see here.

So I'm curious, you people in Tennessee, what's going on with your Republican governor? He's gone squishy. Or maybe he was just squishy all along. 844-747-8868. Toll-free telephone number.

I love this American ride. And hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tom Sterns radio program. We are now 28 days. 28 days away from taking back America. And restoring traditional American values.

So glad you have joined us, your campaign headquarters, ladies and gentlemen. And we've got a lot going on. We're going to be bringing you exclusive interviews with a lot of folks running for Congress over the next 28 days. Go ahead and write down our telephone number. You will need this: 844-747-8868.

Just out of curiosity, what is the big issue for you heading into the polls, heading into the ballot box? What is the number one issue on your mind? 844-747-8868. Now, a very interesting. News survey from NBC News Telemundo.

They say that conservative Latino voters are actually more likely to vote Republican in this election cycle. This is a fascinating survey because back in 2012, NBC News and the Wall Street Journal conducted the same poll of the same group, so-called self-described conservative Latinos.

Now, back in 2012, 49% of that demographic said they preferred Democrat control of Congress. Only 40% wanted Republicans in charge, and that, again, among conservative Latinos.

Now, that was back in 2012. In September of 2022, the NBC News poll found a whopping 73% of conservative Latinos now say they prefer Republicans in control of Congress versus 17% who prefer Democrats. That is a 56-point advantage for the GOP. That is massive. Massive.

A 65-point swing. over the span of a decade. And it tells us something very simple: that Republicans are embracing people outside of the tent.

So they're broadening that big tent. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. We're very honored to have with us a man who wants to be the next congressman from the 7th Congressional District in Florida, Corey Mills. He is a decorated Army combat veteran and a sixth-generation Floridian. Corey, good to have you with us today.

Thank you so much for having me. You know, first, before we jump into the politics of it all, I'm curious how people are doing in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.

Well, hurricane is certainly a devastating storm for many on the barrier islands in the west coast. In my district, We saw record flooding, especially there in Seminole County and parts of South Fallucia. Uh I personally The campaign, so I could go out, uh conduct rescues, get supplies where it needs to be, as well as for supplying shelters. that we had consolidated.

So for example, we had over two hundred people in the ocean center there in Daytona Beach.

So we had gotten supplies and palace of water and food and baby formula, baby wipes, things like this. But Florida, we're not unaccustomed to these types of natural disasters. And we do build, we will continue to be strong, and we will get back to where we need to be. Corey, I know you're a businessman and you're a big Trump supporter. I'm curious to get your take on the current lineup across the country here.

The reporting coming out, the Washington Post midterm polls swing back to the right. There's rumblings of not just a red wave, but a red tsunami. What say you? I absolutely see that. I think that Every American understands that the issues that we're facing today is not a partisan issue.

We're seeing record high inflation. We're seeing increase in criminality across the country. We're seeing an influx like we've never seen before of illegal aliens coming across I think that we understand of living and affordability in America has completely gone down. We've got supply chain issues. We've now gotten back into begging and getting on our knees for the international stage, for OPEC and others, even though we have the ability to be not just energy independent, but energy dominant.

And so I think that this is really what everyone is seeing: is that we all feel the pain at the pump. We all feel the pain when we're trying to go and say, hey, should I fill my gas tank up or should I add a few more groceries for my family? These are not decisions that America as a superpower should be facing today. We should be looking at not just being energy independent and being dominant, but also controlling our own food supplies, being able to ensure that we actually. More than enough for America to we can get exportation, to where we don't see the GDP to national debt ratio at 137%, making us insolvent as a nation.

We have to get back to the greatness of America, and we have to get back to embracing American exceptionalism. You know, to your point there, Fox News has a report out from Wyoming where young parents are having to skip meals.

Some are actually turning to ramen noodles because they just can't afford to buy groceries. They've got to feed the kids. And so a lot of parents are now going without because of the rising cost of not just food at the grocery store, but prices at the gas tank, too.

Well, it's abysmal, but I mean, the thing that we have to even look at is: I've got. Staff sergeants who are full-time active duty military, who have three kids. We're now looking at going on WIC and government assistance. And while the Dems and this administration never runs out of money when it comes to illegal aliens, New York City's Mayor Adams has no issues building thousands of beds for illegals, but yet leaves our veterans who are homeless on the streets with no help whatsoever. We've got tens of billions.

Fighting these in And let me tell you, I fought seven years in Iraq, three years in Afghanistan, time in Kosovo. I was blown up twice in 2006. I'm a Bronze Star recipient. I know that these foreign wars. you to fight.

Do not make us either more secure or more wealthy and better off as a nation. It actually depletes our resources. We have to get back to understanding, not being an isolationist, but also not being an interventionist. We have to start putting America first. Corey, I'm with you 1000% there.

The illegal alien situation over was it last week in Las Vegas, you had a guy go on a stabbing spree, killed two people, stabbed six others. Not only was the guy an illegal alien, but the guy had been actually arrested and charged and convicted of crimes in California. And a lot of people are going, why in the world is that guy still allowed to be on American soil?

Well, the bottom line is because the Democrats have permitted it. They have encouraged the people to come across the borders. They have continued to fund sanctuary cities who aren't so sanctuary when it comes to getting people who are actually in their districts. When it was going to Texas with hundreds of thousands or my state here in the state of Florida, Wants to scream that it's an atrocity not to, you know, take, meanwhile, we sent a couple thousand into Martha Vineyard and they couldn't wait to get them out. the bottom line is is that we need to build our wall.

We need to reinforce that with surveillance technology capable for an early detection awareness system. We need to defund sanctuary cities. We need to make Title forty two permanent policy, not just we're going to release you for two and three and four years and hope that you come back. And in the meantime, you're committing numerous crimes against America. police, citizens, we need to start strengthening our borders, putting in an immigration moratorium temporarily so that we can actually do what we've been saying since the nineteen eighties, which is an immigration reform policy that actually helps America.

We can't keep allowing what we're having right now. And I'll tell you, If we really care so much about women and children, it's trying to say, then we should be looking at the humanitarian crisis and the sex trafficking of children that is going on in the southern borders, which is doing nothing more than funding the cartels to continue their malign activities. If we Let's take action to stop cheap talk. All right, Corey, I think we're going to have to leave it there. We have a bit of a phone connection issue, but we really appreciate the great work that you're doing.

Good luck to you out on the campaign trail. MillsforFlorida.com is the campaign website, and we have links to all of his pages over at ToddSterns.com. Corey, thank you. Thank you very much. All right, Corey Mills, running for the 7th Congressional District in Florida.

Yeah. And this is just appalling. You've got um a a report out of Fox News about young Wyoming parents skipping meals, turning to ramen noodles because of inflation. because of gas prices. Quote, I'm doing anything and everything I can to be able to provide for my family, says Jesus, a manager at the Teton Toys.

That includes driving an hour and a half one way to and from work and working literally all day. I get to see my daughter twice a week.

Well, you know, you got to do what you got to do, and it's tough times for everybody. Yeah. And people are struggling. And it is a real struggle in this country. I want to share this item I saw on Twitter from Wall Street Silver.

And they posted this was a photograph taken inside a bakery, and they were just talking. I guess people come in, and you want to go get your, I don't know, donut or a muffin, and your muffin has doubled in price, and people are kind of shocked. I mean, it's just try ordering a pizza and having it delivered to your home. You're going to be paying upwards of 50 bucks for a regular old large pepperoni and cheese pizza. And a lot of people don't understand why.

So, the folks over at this bakery actually did a great service to their entire community, and they just laid it out. This is why our prices have gone up.

So, they wrote flour, they listed all the ingredients they have to use to make whatever they're going to make. Flour. In January of 2021, the price of flour was $12.19 for a pound of flour. In January of 2022, it was $19.97. In July of this year, $28.88 for flour.

What about sugar? $25 in January of 2021. You know what it is now? $34. Powdered sugar, twenty five bucks, now thirty nine dollars.

What about shortening? You gotta have shortening, all purpose shortening. $41 in 2021.

Now, $87.59. Grace Baker, I know you love sprinkles, the rainbow sprinkles. What can I say? I'm a sprinkle addict. You got to have on the cupcake.

You know, the little children, they love the sprinkles. Yeah, makes it magical. In 2021, those sprinkles would set you back $56. I guess you get like a big tub on them. It's a lot of money for sprinkles.

Now, those same sprinkles. $86.94. Yeah, no. What's that going to do? It's just not sustainable for anybody.

This is what the Biden administration is doing to this country. And a lot of people, well, for one thing, people who can afford to go and buy a cupcake are stunned at the prices and they get upset. And there's nothing the baker can do. He's got to be able to pay his bills, too. Give me cupcakes or give me death.

Verily, verily.

Well said, Grace Baker. All right, got to take a break. Have you noticed inflation in your neighborhood, in your local grocery store? 844-747-8868. Grace, remind me when we come back, I have to tell a great story.

844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starting Show. All right, people, let's get to the phones here. What is it that's sending you that is going to what has what has lit a fire on your buttocks that's going to get you up and go vote on election day? Yeah, I know preparation angel take care of that, but that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about what is it that's inspiring you to go and vote. Let's go to the phones here: eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. Steve in Arkansas. All right, Steve, what say you? Yeah.

Todd uh You do a good job three hours a day going over all the issues, and there's not enough of your show left to go over them again. The two I I've I got two and they're related. And I think If we get these two issues taken care of, then the people have a chance of Straighten up the wrist of it. Without these two issues taken care of, the country's staying. And that is free and fair elections.

and equal justice under our laws.

Now, those two issues don't get fixed. I don't see how anything can get fixed.

Well, we're about to find out if, in fact, they did fix the problems that were there that allowed the elections in 2020 to be rigged. We're going to find out. I do have concerns if, in fact, the Democrats are somehow able to maintain control of the House and the Senate. I don't see how that's possible without them cheating. And at that point, I think you're going to have a lot of angry Republicans marching in the streets.

I don't see how we can ever say it's fixed as long as we have all the crazy drop box. Mail in. too much worth of voting. I mean It sounds like a de uh some kind of cartoon act or something, what our voting process has turned into. Steve, we ought to have one day.

You go and you vote. Period. That's it, in person. And if you do need, you ought to have an early voting paper, but you got to have something from your employer that you're working out of town, or you've got to have something from a doctor that you're disabled.

Okay, I'm good with that. I'm good with that. But I don't even, you know, again, I don't even like the idea of going into the old folks' home, the senior citizens' homes, because there is literally video out there of these Democrats going door to door telling people this is who you need to vote for. And, you know, if grandma is, if grandma is 75 or 80 and in the shape of Joe Biden, she's going to vote for whoever tells who, you know, they say you vote for Donald Duck, you're fine. Donald Duck gets my vote.

And I think we ought to do like France has done. We need to get rid of the voting machines and go back to paper ballots. And every ballot that's counted, there's A Democrat and a Republican sitting there account. All right.

Steve, appreciate the call. Let's go to Greg, Salem, Oregon. Wants to weigh in on PayPal. Hey, Greg, good to have you with us today. Yeah, good to be talking to you, Todd.

Anyway, there's so many issues that you could talk about. It's hard to narrow everything just down to. one, but the one that I found out about here just a couple of days ago uh from Candace Owens was about the New PayPal policy changes, and it becomes effective a first of November, and if you delve into it, you can't.

Well, yes and no. Yes and no, Greg. Let me explain what happened here. We were talking about this on the website over the weekend. You're right.

They did have a policy: $2,500.

So if you promoted misinformation, they were going to yank $2,500 from your account. I had already canceled my PayPal account, and then comes word that PayPal has walked it back, and they say they are no longer going to do that. Oh, well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now. I went ahead and canceled it anyway.

So I talked to them and they asked me why I was doing it. And I explained that evidently. A hell of a lot of people had done the same thing and. you know That's why it's good to make a statement to them Um Not only for protecting your own self, but also let them know that they don't be trying any of this stuff. Maybe some of these places are going to decide: hey, if you go woke, you go broke.

Greg, let me tell you something about this PayPal. You're right on the money. The only reason they changed their minds and they backed off is it became public. And a lot of people, like yourself and me, we cancel our PayPal accounts. But here's the broader concern, and this is why I am not a proponent of a cashless society.

Because once the government and once digitally they can control all of your money, they've got you right where they want you. And you better believe that one day it could be Bank of America, it could be Wells Fargo, and they could say, oh, this person has been spreading misinformation. We're going to punish them by taking this money out of their bank account. I mean, it's crazy to think of, but you know what? PayPal got caught trying to do it, trying to implement this policy.

Greg, great call. Thank you for listening. Love all of our Oregon listeners. Man, something exciting is happening out in Oregon. I'm getting ready to elect a Republican governor.

Woo! Mercy. All right, hang tight, everybody. This is the Todd Starring Show. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Tom Stearns Radio Show.

Just a reminder: we are in the middle of a radio-thon for Alliance Defending Freedom, raising money so they can fight. These court cases that matter so much to our country and to our freedoms, you can go to ToddStarnes.com right now. Click on the Alliance Defending Freedom banner right at the top of the page, and you can help us out. By the way, our goal, $20,000. That's $20,000.

That's a very doable thing. And we'd love for you to help us out there. All right, welcome back to the Todd Starnes Radio Program. Good to have you with us today. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.

We have a fearless warrior, a great patriot, and he is the pastor of an incredible church in California, Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills. Our good friend Pastor Jack Hibbs. Pastor, hope you're doing good today. Todd, I'm not only doing good, it's great to talk to you. Any day talking to you, brother, is excellent.

And so thanks for having us on. By the way, I have to compliment you. You invited me to come down and speak to the congregation there. And I have never seen such a gracious group of people.

So wonderful to meet everybody. And I don't know who makes the meals that you serve, but those people deserve a raise.

Well, I tell you what, you're exactly right. They love you. And you're listen, our doors open to you any time, and I think you know that. Oh, well, I'll be back. You know, I'm actually coming down there in a couple of weeks for an event, and I was going to hunt you down and try to sneak in and catch the service to hear you preach.

Yeah. Well, I look forward to having you any way we can have you, brother. It's great. Look, Pastor, I wanted you to come on the program because you're catching a lot of heat there in California for calling out Gavin Newsome, the governor. You rightly pointed out in this great column, Gavin Newsom, the king of late-term abortion, but really he's the king of day of abortion in the state of California.

You know, tragically, you have accurately placed that right. We're calling it birthday abortions, and I know. Todd, that many of your listeners, you know, we have a Judeo-Christian worldview value to our hearts and our minds, and we want to wish or think the best of people. And I've tried that for a long time regarding Gavin Newsom. But his antics is absolutely off the charts.

It's hard to imagine, friends, that. You're talking about a man who has crafted a bill with his Sacramento henchmen. that will be the most dramatic and dangerous Abortion Act. In fact, Todd, it's hard to say this, but it goes beyond abortion because. It's it's it's the murdering of a baby on its birthday.

If the mother so inclines, Listen to this, Todd. If the mother so inclines without The father's permission. The mother condemned the child to be put down. Let's just use that term. Put down And here's what is amazing.

In most cases, Todd, The devil is in the details. But California has gotten wicked enough to leave the details out.

So that there's no specific day or hour after birth. that references when is it illegal then to take this child's life? It's just not there. It's wide open. It's hard for us to believe such a thing.

And so the second thing, Todd, I thank God for you and your program because of this. No one's covering this story. It's almost by design. Proposition one is the most dangerous thing going on in America. Nobody's talking about it about except Todd Starnes.

And Jack is. This is being well hidden And it is absolutely the most diabolical thing I've heard of. in this country in its And it's Creation synthetic creation. And Pastor Hibbs, you compared it to what was happening in 1930s Germany. What did you mean by that?

Well, number one, that there was an amazing collected media. Blitz going on to get everybody's eyes over to something else rather than what was really going on. And the other thing is that Hitler used uh the churches and communicated to them in vagueness. And so today in California, everything is being talked about as. uh the woman's right to reproductive health.

That's that's how it's being talked about. It's saying one thing that sounds very noble and happy and healthy, while the actual law is very murderous and demonic. And so it is very much like Hitler's form of controlling the narrative and deceiving the people. And it's working here in California. But I got to tell you, people are waking up thanks to programs like yours, Todd, where other people in other states are saying, wait a minute, If this is going to happen in California, we know something.

If it happens in California, it's going to come to Texas, it's going to come to New Jersey, it's going to come to Nebraska.

So there are some people that are gathering together And getting behind our effort. Our effort is stop. Prop1.com. Stop. prop with the number one And they can get more information.

They can certainly help us out. Because we want to counter his billboard signs. Newsom is using billboard signs. In five other states, red states, by the way, red states, saying Come to California, you can have an abortion. Don't tell your parents.

and California will pay for it, and nobody needs to know. This is absolutely insane. And then if that wasn't bad enough, Todd, at the bottom of the billboard, it says from Matthew's Gospel chapter five, Quoting Jesus Uh love one another. He's using a Bible verse. to support his demonic abortion agenda.

And I think that might be one of the kinder things you can call it is demonic. I mean, this is appalling stuff, the idea that a woman would be able to literally abort the baby on its birth date. And the way it is written, and again, in California, you guys at Election Day in November, you're going to be voting on all of these things, these propositions. And the way it is written, Pastor, it's going to be very hard for people, especially if they're liberal, maybe a liberal who is pro-choice but not that pro-choice, because as you point out, a lot of pro-choice people are opposed to this.

Well, you you just again, you just put your finger right on it. We commissioned a Rasmussen poll. And the data came back, it was absolutely awesome. And it was this. Seventy nine percent of voters now you gotta remember in California, People forget, we have more registered Republicans in California than any other state, Republicans.

The problem is we've got more registered Democrats than any other state. But 79% of Independents, Republicans and Democrats. Combined Fed Proposition one goes too far. It's too extreme. And that's what we're trying to get people to understand, even for the.

The pro Death Democrat This is too extreme for them. They say, no, wait a minute, that's wrong. And so that's the messaging we're trying to get out. And thank you, Todd, for the opportunity to do that in your program. Oh, look, open invitation here, Pastor, because this is a major issue.

And I've always felt like this is the defining issue of our nation. And if we can't get the issue of life right, we can't get anything else right. Yep. You're right. And Todd, you've opened the door for me to say this.

I would like to be able to somehow, by the grace of God, employ or use whatever authority I have over pastors in California. Pastors in California. If you don't stand on this issue, If you don't stand for this issue of life, I believe that this is the hour where God, so to speak, from the book of Revelation will remove your lampstand of witness. Your light will go out if you can't stand for this most Fundamental, basic, non-political issue. This is a battle between life and death, heaven and hell.

Light and dark, and in every church in California, that pastor. Should be a clarion voice to their city. And I think that if enough pastors Speak up right now. that his congregation will listen. And we can stop Prop One, this demonic move.

Pastor, I'm curious. I know Catholics are jumping on board with this, Republicans are. How about Protestants, the evangelical leadership? Are you seeing them rising up as well? Or are you the lone voice crying in the wilderness?

All right, now, Todd, you're going to get me in trouble. I'm going to be honest. That was the point of this. I'm going to be honest. Here it comes.

If it weren't for the Catholics speaking up on this and the Mormons, we would be in deep trouble. I mean, I can't believe it. I'm calling for my evangelical, fundamental, Bible-believing brothers to take a stand. But they're hard to find right now in this issue. But the the Mormons are speaking up.

And the Catholics are speaking up. And where are my evangelical brother pastors, where are they on this issue?

Well, that's a great question. And we're going to find out. And hopefully, that's going to light a fire under a lot of these pastors. And maybe they will see the error of their ways and jump in. But honestly, Pastor, there have been so many evangelical churches that have been taken over by this wokeness, and they don't want to jump into the fight.

Yeah. Yeah, we certainly saw that uh during the Co COVID experience. And I kind of view that as phase one, Todd. You know, you know well the the Lord says that judgment must forg must begin at the house of the Lord. And that word simply means that God is purifying this church.

He's shaking the foundations to see what they're made of. COVID had a tremendous impact on that. And all of us are smarter right now regarding what is church in a post-COVID world. I believe that here in California, this is Phase two for us. This is phase two.

This is the next event to shake the church's foundation in California. And if we if we crumble at this, then it's going to come to a state near you. There there's no doubt about it. Mm. All right, Pastor, let's give the website address one more time.

Where can people go if they want to get involved in Stop Proposition 1? Yeah, exactly that. Stop Prop. The number one.com, stopprop1.com. More information there, pray for us, and your support.

will go to getting up those billboards and getting out publication so that people become aware of it. All right, we're going to do our best to spread the word. Pastor, always good having you on the program, and you let me know if they're coming after you, so we'll go after them. Thank you, Todd. Thank you, my friend.

All right, Pastor Jack Hibbs, everybody, fighting an incredible fight. It is a righteous fight in the state of California, a massive church. And I am so glad that he is really mobilizing the flock down there in Southern California to stand up and fight back. The idea that California is on the verge of not just approving, but actually codifying day of abortion in the state of California, it's reprehensible. But this is what happens when good people stand down and do nothing.

I mean, how many times have we heard this throughout history? Silence in the face of evil is evil itself. That's what Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said. And Pastor Jack said: if it hadn't been for the Catholics and the Mormons, we'd be in a world of hurt.

So, where are all of you good Protestants? Where are all you good evangelicals and non-denominational types and Pentecostals? Where are you guys in the fight? 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number.

So, Grace, I was At the Kroger the other day. You know which Kroger I go to. Don't tell everybody. Of course not. It's our secret.

Otherwise, they're never going to make it through the checkout line. This is true. I think I frequent the same one.

So it's a great Kroger.

So, anyway, I was out there shopping and it was funny because you can always tell when you're in the South. I would say it's an upscale area. Yes, which makes us sort of humorous. They have buckets, I mean one-gallon buckets, of chitlins. In the supermarket.

Oh, I missed that. And they also have pork rinds, of course. Of course. There's actually in the south, it's much like where you go to get your tortilla chips, they would have the, and you have multiple flavors. Yes.

Same with pork rinds. I just assumed, is that a southern thing? I thought that was like countrywide. Definitely a southern thing. Oh, okay, good to know.

I'm a brims pork rinds guy. That is my jam, right? They are the best. That crunch.

So, anyway, I was looking for the brims. You know, they rearranged the whole supermarket, so it's always hard to find stuff. I think they do that just to mess with us. And possibly.

So I run in. This little lady was riding her little motorized scooter, and she stopped me and she goes, Oh, we've missed you at church. And she was just checking on my well-being, and she's a big fan of the show. And she was very kind and very gracious. And we had a good conversation there.

Again, a very southern thing. Right in front of, believe it or not, you'll know where this is. You know how they had the big open coolers with the Milo. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

So it was right there.

So I just grabbed a jug of Milo's tea, and I was heading down to get my Williams sausage, which finally is back in the supermarket. Really? Very excited. Oh, I will have to go and check it out.

So, anyway, I was heading over to get the Williams sausage, and then somebody else comes over and says, Hey, just a big fan of the show. Don't want to bother you. And I'm like, no bother at all. We visited.

So I'm going to the checkout line, and it's a self-checkout. And that is the bane of my existence because inevitably something goes. I mean, I have never been there where it has been like an easy experience. Is it like every time you put something in the bag, it still says you hadn't put it in the bag? Yes.

It's so annoying. I'm like, what do you want me to do here? I'm doing it. And I'm yelling at, you know, you're yelling at the thing and you're banging on it.

So, anyway, sure enough, I get all my stuff done, and this woman comes over, or this cashier comes over, and she says, We've got a problem with your machine. I'm like, Dag Nab it. And I don't think I'm allowed to say that. But anyway, dag nab it. And she says, I need to get your hang tight, don't do anything.

Give me your credit card. I'm like, okay, all right, whatever. The trans of the air.

So she comes back and she gives me a receipt, and she says, It's on the house. And I'm like, what's on the house? She says, your grocery bill has been paid. I said, by who? And she turns and points at this other person who's across on the other self-checkout line.

And I'm like, what? And so I go over, and the lady is a, she's a great lady, listener of the program. And she said, I just wanted, you're always doing something nice for people in Memphis, and I just wanted to do something nice for you. Thank you for what you're doing for the country. That's southern hospitality right there.

It was very thoughtful. Very thoughtful. I was, you know, you have one of those weeks where you're kind of like, man, you just get, you're getting pounded just. And so, anyway, I was tired, and it was just the right thing. It was a very kind thing.

Very nice. I will say this. Was it bad of me? Because I thought, man, I should have put a ribeye steak in there. Oh, my goodness.

Don't push your luck now, Tom. I should have gotten the Jif peanut butter instead of the off-brand. Skippy. All right, well, thank you. We love all of our great listeners.

And if you see me at the Kroger, drop by and say howdy. All right, hang tight, hour three, coming up. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I love this American Todd Starns. And hello, America.

We are now 28 days away from stopping the Biden agenda and saving the world from nuclear annihilation. Welcome to the Todd Starns Radio Program. Great to have you with us today. We've got a lot going on this hour of the show. Our good friend Arn Alley is going to be here in just a little while.

We'll be looking forward to talking with him.

Some big economic news to bring your way. Also, we're paying very close attention to what's happening between Russia and Ukraine. Things are getting a little bit more dicey over there. And as you heard, President Biden last week warned that we were on the verge of the nuclear Yeah. Apocalypse.

So we'll keep you updated on that as well. President Trump is very busy over the weekend and honestly did a terrific job. A couple of big campaign events, campaign rallies, Save America rallies, and the America First candidates are doing extremely well from border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain, including in places like Rhode Island and also Oregon, where Republicans are making significant gains and could end up upsetting Democrats in those two heavily Democrat states. But people are just, people are, they've had it. They've just had it, everybody.

So look, one of the funniest things I've ever heard happened in the Trump rally last night when President Trump put together this amazing compilation of all of the Biden gaffes. Take a listen. So we had just a little quick video made up. Would you like to see it? How would you say your mental focus is?

Which focused? I think it's, I haven't. Look. Let's get ready to bump! I think it's a right.

for people at Vanic out there. True internet suffered to pressure. Guys, I can't even believe I said that. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I was going to put him in the foot.

Well, Cornpop was a bad dude, and he ran a bunch of bad boys. Wait, wait, wait, wait. All men and women created by the gold. You know the thing. If you hold near and dear to you, that you like to be able to.

Anyway. See you soon. No. We win. for two reasons.

One. Sure. Come on, man. Yeah. My uh The guy who runs that outfit over there.

I've had a couple washing. But to nature Not dead. Representative Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was going to be here.

I'm on my zone here. I got hairy legs. That turn, that, that, that, that. Thank you for tolerance for listening to me. I appreciate it very much.

Joe's gotta go. Gotta go. Wow. You know, the crowd was having fun, and I love that song. It always gets you going.

It gets the there's an energy and it's a vibe. It was kind of like being at a rock concert, Gracemaker. I mean, people are really fired up. Joe's gotta go. Joe's gotta go.

Joe's gotta go. Joe's gotta go. All right.

Well, it's true. And when you put it all together, Grace, you realize. Wow, this guy is senile. I mean, to be able to fill up two minutes easily with those gaps. I mean, there's more.

There's tons of it. I mean, there's tons of it. Anyway, two birds made in America. He did that on Friday. This story from Campus Reform, Grace Baker.

I know you're a student of literature. Yes. A teacher. I had way too many cups of coffee. Clearly.

And I have one of those. Oh, I was going to call it cellulitis drinks, but that's not it. Oh, my gosh. Celsius. No, Celsius.

Celsius. Thank you. It was. Thought I'd put on a few pounds. This uh story from Campus Reform, a teacher in Sacramento, California, Luther Burbank High School.

Very upset. Over Shakespeare. Good old Bill Shakespeare. Oh. Commonwealth White guy.

Oh. So, the teacher, her name is Dana Douchebieber. And I think that's how you pronounce her name. But for the sake of our conversation, we will call her Miss Douchebieber. Miss Deutsche Bieber is very upset about Shakespeare.

She is an English teacher. She teaches the Common Core English Language Art Standards. And a part of that standard is to include Shakespeare as a high school requirement. I know you're homeschooled, Grace, but did you ever have to, did you read Romeo and Juliet? Oh, yes, of course I did.

I just assumed that Jay was silent. I had no idea. No, it's a Juliet. Oh, Juliet. All right, my apologies.

Much better. I try to be, you know, I try to respect South of the Border as the best I can.

So, anyway, you got Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. Hamlet, I read that one. Othello. Didn't read that one. All right.

Anyway, that's to the extent of Shakespeare.

So, anyway, um, Miss Douchebieber is very upset because she says, and I'm going to quote here from the campus reform story: I do not believe a long dead British guy is the only writer who can teach my students about the human condition. The veteran teacher declared she has a dislike of reading Shakespeare because of her own personal disinterest in reading stories written in an early form of the English language that I quote cannot always easily navigate. I take it she doesn't read the King James Version of the Bible either. Guessing not. She reads the message.

She also says. Thank you for that, Grace. She also said there is a world of really exciting literature out there that speaks to the needs of my very ethnically diverse and wonderfully curious modern-day students. She goes on to say that what I worry about is that as long as we continue to cling to one white man's view of life as he lived it so long ago, that we promote the notion that other cultural perspectives are less important. And she says that the problem is that we have a Euro we have too much of a Eurocentric view of literature.

There it is. There it is. So she doesn't want anybody reading books by white people. That's why I'm so tolerant of her. Why doesn't he just come right out and say that?

I mean, that's a lot of words. If you had to give a word salad, just could have said that. All right, we get it. All right.

Jeez Alou, we get it.

So I'm curious, though. I mean, are they going to P. Diddy? I mean, what are they going to replace Shakespeare with? I know there's a college in California doing a Nicki Minaj course.

Was she? Did you hear about that? No, no, I did not. Yeah, it's like an actual college course about Nicki Minaj and how she's revolutionized music. Wasn't she on American Idol as a judge once?

Was that her? Mm Don't know because I stopped watching it after the main people, you know, the main judges left. I tuned out once Katy Period. Yeah, once Katy Perry joined the show, I said, okay, I like you okay, but not as a judge. Yeah, not, not, yeah, not a big fan.

Not a big fan.

So, anyway, she's getting some blowback here. Matthew Truesdale is an English teacher at Wren High School in Piedmont, South Carolina. Oh, I hope he's not a white guy. You know what's going to happen. He'll be in trouble.

Quote: Shakespeare is more than just a long dead British guy, he says. To dismiss Shakespeare on the grounds that life 450 years ago has no relation to life today is to dismiss every religious text ever well, hold on, let me stop right there. That's the point. By the way. But he goes on every piece of ancient mythology, Greek, African, Native American, and for that matter, everything that wasn't written in whatever time defined as now.

I like the guy. He's got a good argument. But look, this goes back to the culture jihadist, as I wrote about in my book, Culture Jihad, that came out back in 2019. Look, they wanted to literally destroy all of history going back to at least the turn of this century.

So anything before the year 2010. 2000 Has to be eliminated, has to be erased. That's the whole point of this. And I hate it that Miss Douchebiebert doesn't seem to appreciate the classics, but what business does she have? Oh, I don't think I'm pronouncing her name correctly.

I don't think you're even close. My customer. I'm not good at that. I'm not good at, I was never hooked on phonics. Oh.

But I think why we call her Miss D. Why don't we do that? That's a little better. A little. It just dawned on me.

But see, I don't think I could pronounce the name correctly either, so I was like, I'm not going to correct you.

So there you go. Whoops. My apologies, Miss D. Yeah. I mean, does she have a point?

Do we need to do we still need do kids still need to read William Faulkner? Do they need to read Takela Mockingbird, Harper Lee? Yes. Do they need to read Dickens? Yes.

I mean, these are all people of the Caucasian persuasion. Does that mean that their viewpoints are no longer relevant or accepted? You need to be well-rounded. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number.

So I was watching the Tennessee Volunteers destroy LSU. Over the weekend. It was a glorious thing. And, Grace, how did your team do, by the way? You're the Memphis Tigers?

I don't want to talk about it. I was there. I had to live it. My sympathies. We've been there.

We've been there. Oh, y'all have been there many times.

So, anyway, the Detroit Lions, there was an incident on Saturday at the University of Michigan game where one of the football coaches, one of the assistant coaches, just standing on the sideline, just drops to the ground. And they're carting the guy off, and they said he suffered some sort of a medical emergency. Then yesterday on live on national television during the Detroit Lions game, the cornerback is Savion Smith, and he was, there was a play, and there was brief contact, but nothing of significance. And the next thing you know, the guy collapses onto the field. Yeah.

And the NFL, like, right away came out and said, oh, neck injury. Yeah, that was no neck injury. I mean, we all saw it with our eyes. I mean, that may be the NFL's truth. Maybe.

But that was no neck injury. Anybody who watched the game knew something was up here. And somebody said, well, he suffered a medical emergency. There have been a lot of medical emergencies lately involving athletes. Perfectly healthy.

Athletes.

Now who all of a sudden are coming up coming up with these medical emergencies. And there is one common denominator. All of them were forced to get. The China virus vaccine. You want to play college ball?

Got to get the vaccine. Want to run on the high school cross-country team? Got to be vaccinated. Want to play in the NFL? You got to be vaccinated.

And you got to cut a commercial and tell people you got vaccinated. Look at J.J. Wada, the Arizona Cardinals, had to have his heart shocked back into rhythm. And they're making it out to me: this is just a normal thing. And look at the number of high school athletes who have either died or suffered heart-related ailments.

This is happening at a frightening pace. Are you guys seeing this? You're not allowed to really talk about it. This is what's fascinating. You're not allowed to talk about it.

But I posted something yesterday, and tens of thousands of people. Responded. It was amazing. But anyway, all that to say, if you haven't gotten the vaccine, I would be consulting with your doctor and I would be doing a whole lot of homework. But we need to be having some investigations on this, folks.

Here's the problem. Whenever anybody asks a question, what do they do? They shut you down. They accuse you of being some sort of a conspiracy theorist. A peddler of disinformation.

They try to neutralize you.

Well, I don't mind asking the tough questions here, and we do deserve to know. What's really going on? We deserve to know whether the vaccine Is actually more dangerous than the virus. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number.

That's 844-747-8868. A reminder: our radio-thon for Alliance Defending Freedom continues. We are raising money all this weekend. We need your help, whether it's $5 or $5,000. We need your help raising money to fight these very important cases at the Supreme Court.

All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Show. Both Mike Hockabee and Donald Trump say you've got to read the new book by Dick Morris. It's called The Return, and it's already topping the bestseller list.

Former President Trump says it's a great book, and he says you need to get it. Mike Hockabee urged every American to read The Return.

Now, here's the deal: in this book, Dick Morris explains why Trump and not DeSantis must be the candidate in 2024. He even reveals the moves Hillary Clinton is taking to prepare to run against Donald Trump. The return reveals Trump. Trump's secret plan to win. And Newsmax says the return is the political book of the year.

Elections coming up soon, and you're going to want to find out why everyone is getting the return.

Now, here's the deal: you can get the book in your bookstore, or you can check out the free offer from our friends at Newsmax and save $28. Write this number down. Call 1-800-NewsMax. That's 800Newsmax. Or you can go to the return911.com.

That's the return911.com and get your copy today. All right, 844-747-8868 is our toll-free telephone number. Do you buy into that? Do you believe, as Dick Morris does, that President Trump has to run again for the White House and that Hillary Clinton. Is going to be his opponent.

Could you imagine that would be the rematch? But I. I don't think it's going to be Hillary. I just don't think that Hillary Clinton can do this. I think if they're going for a female, I suspect it's going to be Michelle Obama.

Yeah. And I know that horrifies a lot of people, but look, I just want you to try to be honest. I try to shoot straight with you. And this is where I think the Democrats are going to have to go. They've got nobody.

Nobody. And you look at, let's just, for the sake of the argument here, let's just say that the Democrat Party is decimated. In the midterm elections. It could be. And there's a caveat here.

There's a caveat to what I just said about Michelle Obama. If. If the Democrats are truly decimated at the levels we think they're going to be, it could be that Joe Biden just resigns. And if that's the case, and if, in fact, Kamala Harris becomes the president, it could be that Democrat Party leaders force her to put someone like Hillary or Michelle Obama in that vice president spot because they're going to have to have somebody that can rebuild the party. That person is not Kamala Harris.

So understand this: whoever the nominee is going to be will have to be able to rebuild the party.

Now it could be that they looked at Gavin Newsome.

Someone out there lurking in the shadows. Men Hide Your Daughters, Andrew Cuomo. That could be a possibility, but it's not going to be a Pete Booty Judge. It's not going to be him. It can't be.

And I'll explain why. We'll do that after the break. All right, 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show. At the Home Depot, when you buy Select Ryobi Tools, You'll get an extra Ryobi OnePlus battery for free.

Welcome back to the Todd Starnes Radio Show. This item just in from the state of California. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill into law. That is going to impact your grocery shopping. All you folks in Santa Clarita, listen up.

Yeah. Senate Bill 1046, now the law of the land, it will outlaw plastic grocery bags. It's also going to outlaw those little bags. And I don't know if you've seen these bags or not, Grace Baker. You're over at the, let's say you're, again, at the Kroger.

Oh, no, no. We'll say Whole Foods. I had to go to Whole Foods to get something. Oh, okay. And wow, what a weird place that is.

It's an adventure. It's like, you know, all it's, I know I was the only conservative at the Whole Foods. I go there occasionally. I get that. You know, so I tried to, you know.

But anyway, I was at the produce section, and you know, those little white bags, those little clear plastic bags that you put like the tomatoes in? Oh, yeah, those are the pesky. The avocados. I never can't, I can't open them. It's so annoying.

And then you have to make sure they latch on so it cuts off, it tears off, or else you're going to get like, you know, the whole roll. This is very true. Anyway, those are outlawed too. I'm not necessarily upset about that because, you know, they're very annoying. It is annoying.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, stores will have to use recycled paper bags or compostable bags instead. What a terrible place to live The bill originally asked that all plastic bags be replaced by twenty twenty three.

However, the California Grocers Association asked the date be changed to twenty twenty five to give stores time to alter. You know what it's going to be? We're going to have to start bringing Just boxes, just boxes to the stores. Unbelievable. But there you go, folks.

That's the reason why so many people are leaving California. They're just sick and tired of all of this nonsense. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

Let's go down to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Our good friend from Timothy Plan, none other than Art Allie, joins us. Art, hope you're doing well today. Oh, doing great, Todd. We had a little hookup here with the landline, so we're on my cell phone.

Well, you're coming in loud and clear. And, Art, we got a lot to talk to you about today. Of course, the. In Chicago, Tyson Foods announced that they are relocating from Chicago. They're moving their operations to Arkansas, meaning thousands of people are going to be either going with them or looking for another job if they're going to stay in the windy city.

But one of the big reasons is that people are sick and tired of the crime. And we saw that, you know, the McDonald's CEO saying the same thing. They're having a big problem with crime in Chicago. No kidding, but it's not just Tysons. I mean, my goodness, Caterpillar.

regular small businesses are bailing out. People are moving out. Why would you stay in a city where you're worried about being mugged or robbed or killed, Oh yeah.

sooner or later If we have fair elections, the people of Chicago are going to put some of those leaders in the unemployment line. And get some common sense people running that. It's a great city. They've destroyed it. And well, the same thing has happened in San Francisco.

And you're right, I spent a lot of time in Chicago when I was working at Fox News. Same in San Francisco, beautiful towns that have been destroyed by these policies of the Democrats. It only happens like that. every time. I mean, these people have such a different approach and worldview and trying to control everything.

and it just doesn't work. Just leave. America works very well. And You know, people are wringing their hands and they're calling me and say, What should we do? You know, the market's going crazy.

The economy is going crazy. Crime is going through the roof. try to pump a gallon of gas. I mean, there are some people talking about only living on noodles for goodness sakes. because they got to feed their little baby and they just can't afford all of this stuff.

Um But the average I still believe, Todd, the average American still has some basic values people just listen to the I guess compromised propaganda media, except you. and a few networks that tell the truth. And they're traumatized by that stuff. But I believe this too will pass. Art, where don't ask me when, you know, I'm not sure.

Well, again, this is why the midterm elections are so vitally important. And art, when you look at some of those stories you were talking about, the Wyoming couple having to feed their kid ramen noodles. They got no money to pay their bills. People are really struggling out there. We were sharing a story we saw on social media.

A local baker put up a little billboard and said, Hey, look, here's the reason why we're having to raise our prices. And it's just shocking when you see that the prices have literally doubled for everything that goes into making a cupcake, for example. What advice are you giving, especially those business owners out there as they try to survive through these very difficult financial waters? Uh just suck it up and tough it out. This too will pass.

you know, everybody is looking to the midterm elections. But you know, our problem in America goes way beyond the political for a long time, and I don't mean to preach, but I'm going to. Our problem in America is spiritual. We have left the creator God of the universe on which this country was founded and worked very well for two hundred fifty years behind. We've kicked him out of America in way too many cases.

And the people with the values have sit Chat back. and allowed it to happen. while they're pursuing their unlimited prosperity American dream The other side is not doing that. They're very active. and as you know, with Timothy.

One very positive thing people who are fed up with this stuff can do. is quit investing in the enemy's corporate stocks. And that's where Timothy is set apart. We will not own shares of companies trying to destroy this country. And man, Wall Street is not our friend, the big boys on Wall Street.

are right in line with the ultra liberal crazies that are destroying our country. Uh so I don't know. I'm hopeful. we're holding past the boot camps, we're sponsoring those. I'm going to one Sunday in Believe it or not.

Uh Idaho Um For one hundred pastors and their wives, this will make about one thousand five hundred pastors that our team has equipped On how to deal with this culture biblically and how to pass that on to their congregation. You know, there are still some good people leading their flocks. But they're ill-equipped. To deal with this culture biblically. And we are equipping them, networking them together.

and this is going to do nothing but grow. It is an incredible movement Back to the basics, so to speak. And I'm excited about it. I'm hopeful. And again, going back to nineteen ninety four, when you founded Timothy Plan, you guys have grown to more than two billion dollars in assets managed in twelve mutual funds and six exchange traded funds.

And the point of that Art is that you can focus your investments and have those mirror your belief system without losing money, but actually making money. And I know that goes against the culture of the day, but that's the exciting thing about the great work you guys are doing there at TimothyPlan.com.

Well, our shareholders are very happy. And we're not always going to be the best performer. We're not always going to be the worst performer. But our goal is to be consistent and competitive, and we've proven over twenty eight years. You can do that without compromising your basic core values.

And you know, it's just been the adventure of my life. But you know what, things are going to get better. I'm just seeing more and more and more people waking up We have been asleep, Todd. And what Edmund Burke, right? All it takes For evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

And we've been ultra guilty of that over the last Three decades, especially. All right.

Now, the boot camps, where can people go if they want to get information on the boot camps and where can they sign up for this?

Well, this one's full, but we're going to be holding a whole series next year. And Timothy, Partners is the major sponsor of these because I believe it's the best investment we can make They can go to uh libertypastors dot org might be libertypassers.com, but dot org works. It'll give them the history. These pastors, Todd, I'm telling you, they are transformed. permanently they've been waiting for this kind of a support group and mechanism.

They're not alone out there. But the majority of pastors are just following their careers, and they're not going to offend anybody in the pews. And worry about the, you know, it's a different. day to day because when I was growing up, I'm a little older than you. When a guy went into the pastorate He went kicking and screaming, you know, God called him to do that.

Today, it's a career path. That's a whole different dynamic, Todd. Art, we go ahead. Art, we got to leave it there. We are running late for a break.

But again, folks, you've heard the Idaho event is sold out. We're going to keep you updated on future boot camps hosted by our good friend Art Allie. In the meantime, TimothyPlan.com is the website, and we have a direct link on our live show blog. Art, as always, great information. Appreciate you.

Oh, thanks, my friend. God bless. All right, Art Alley, ladies and gentlemen. And what a great thing. You know, we talk about Patriot Mobile and switching your mobile wireless coverage to a company that actually supports our values.

Why would we not do the same with our investments? And as Art pointed out here, their investors are very, very happy. And I would encourage you to go and check them out, TimothyPlan.com. All right, we got to take a break here: 844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868.

Now the police are saying it was a totally random occurrence. According to the New York Post. This is possibly a gang-related Event Two seventeen-year-old boys suffered gunshot wounds to the chest. Another suffering a lacerated liver, that's not good. The teens are known to the department, that's what they're saying.

So that's why they seem to believe this may not be connected to the congressman's political leanings or the fact that he is also Jewish. We do know that Congressman Zeldon was attacked at a campaign event a few months back. The attacker wanted to sever the Congressman's head. The Congressman, by the way, is running for governor of New York. The shooting happened while the congressman and his wife were away.

They were going to a Columbus Day parade. His twin teenage daughters were inside the house doing homework. The 16-year-old girls ran upstairs, locked themselves in a bathroom and called 911.

So the girls did everything they were supposed to do. The Police department said they The people who got shot were about ten feet from the front door. Quote: When we got back to the house, we had to go through crime scene tape. We were getting advised where to walk so that we were stepping on blood. This is not something that we were planning to return home to when we left for Columbus Day parade.

And Zeldon says, Hey, look, the problem here is crime. It's everywhere and it's out of control. And this is a nice neighborhood. Zeldin said his security cameras captured three people on his property. One was lying down underneath our porch, or was lying down under a bush.

The third person wasn't shot, was moving all around the property, up and down the porch. Quote, it could be gang-related, but that doesn't make you feel any better. I mean, that's the problem with Chicago right now, it's a complete disaster. And the reason why it's a disaster is because of these bail reform laws. Anyway, I'm glad the family's okay.

That's got to be a terrifying thing for these teenage girls to have to go through. But this is the reality of life in America. What in Memphis, Tennessee, over the weekend? Six people shot, four people killed. Yeah.

including some poor guy just trying to get gas over at the Kroger gas station. Man, they love to target the the Kroger gas stations. Here's how bad it is. People are literally driving fifteen miles away from the city limits just to fill up their gas tanks. Because it's just not safe.

And what's the response from the district attorney's office?

Well, we have a George Soros district attorney here, and this guy is like, well, you know, we need to work on bail reform. No, we need to work on stomping the criminals. I'm with the Polk County Sheriff. I like the grated cheese uh l way. That's how we ought to be doing it.

Anyway, uh this story from Fox News. A New Jersey teacher interviewed and recorded fourth grade students No. On the educator's non-binary they-them pronouns, and posted the videos on a public TikTok account over the course of several months. Nairobi colon. Wow, is that the real name?

That can't be the person's real name. Nairobi colon An art teacher. I wonder if she's related to Zimbabwe's spleen. Nairobi Colin works as an art teacher in the Garden State. She posted videos responding to critical comments from users who accused the educator of grooming students with gender ideology.

The teachers racked up over six hundred thousand followers on the TikTok. May I just ask a question here? Okay. Why do these grown adults cry? Crave the acceptance.

Of first and second graders. Why is that? Do you think they were bullied as children? Clearly, I mean, that's like my first thought. Touched in the head?

I don't know.

Some traumatic thing when they were a kid. This is not right. And if they were doing this outside of the classroom, it would be child abuse and they would be arrested and charged with the crime. It's that simple. It really is.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, been a great show. Good to have you with us today. Tomorrow, more political coverage. We are your election headquarters. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show.
