Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starnes. That's why I love this American. And hello. America, welcome to the Todd Cearns Radio Program. We are so glad that you have made the choice to hang out with us noon to 3 Eastern.
And wow, what a night yesterday. And I gotta give a shout out to our good friends. Over at the Gerald Wolf Hymn Sing Organization. We had a couple of thousand people turn out last night at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. And great to meet so many of our listeners and our readers from across the Mid-South.
As a matter of fact, I met some folks that listened to us for a long time over on KYKN in Salem, Oregon, and they have just moved to the Memphis area.
So we're just so excited to welcome them to the neighborhood and new listeners to KWAM, our flagship radio station, here in the Memphis area. But I always love getting out from behind the microphone and getting out there and saying hello to folks. And it was a lot of fun. People got to meet Grace Baker and Caleb Park. The whole team of the program was out there.
And it was a great night in Memphis, Tennessee. And it's going to be a great day tomorrow. In Commerce, Georgia, where they are expecting tens of thousands of people to turn out for President Trump's big rally. He's campaigning in the Peach State for a couple of great American patriots, David Perdue, who you heard on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line yesterday, and also probably one of my favorite football players from back in the day, now running for the U.S. Senate, and a great American patriot, Herschel Walker on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
Herschel, what an honor to have you on the program today. Hey, thank you for having me on. How are you guys doing? You know, doing well. I was telling someone yesterday: the only thing that would make your campaign even better is if we could get Larry Munson back and maybe do some intros, voiceovers.
Yes, and you know what was strange, I was in I was somewhere there and someone did an impression of Larry Monson and It was really, really powerful because I cannot believe he could do Larry Monkslan. It was absolutely incredible. Herschel, I was telling some of our younger staffers about going out and trying to find some hobnail boots yesterday. They didn't know what I was talking about. What are they teaching the kids these days, Herschel?
What are they teaching the kids? I'm not sure what they're teaching the kid, but whatever it is, they shouldn't be teaching it. When you start looking at all these school boards and what they're trying to teach in our schools, we gotta get that out of our schools, I think. No, I think you're right about that. And tomorrow is going to be definitely a big day.
We had some callers from Commerce Georgia yesterday. They say the excitement is really palpable. I'm wondering, how important is this for President Trump to come to the state of Georgia tomorrow? I think it's very important with everything going on in this country right now, and I think people see how the policies that President Trump had was so great for the state of Georgia, so great for this country. And you and people want to hear what you got to say.
There's so much happening and with everyone sees it. And that's what's so amazing is we don't need to sit here and talk about it. Everyone sees that right now, we are we're really trying to put America second, third. We're not even trying to put it first anymore. And that's what's so sad.
But President Trump believes in this country. He believes in a lot of the people, but the people them some of them believe in him. And I think right now that they're having that second thought is that he should be in office because, right, we wouldn't be in the boat we're in right now if he was in office.
Now Herschel, I know this may be a touchy subject, but we've got to address it. It's a big story in the news. You got fired the other day by President Biden, booted off the Sports Council. I want to get your reaction to that. You know, I was totally shocked.
I was shocked because there's so much going on, you know, with the crime going on, this economy going on, with this war with Ukraine and Russia, and yet, They were thinking about kicking me off the President's Sports Council. And I was like, why in the world are you thinking about that right now? And what was so amazing, I'm out campaigning. I don't know whether they probably knew that. that I was out campaigning, I'm out campaigning, I get a uh an email whether they ask me to resign or they're going to fire me at six o'clock.
And I got the email at ten, and they didn't realize that I was out working.
So it was sort of like, well, you fired me because I won't quit. That's one thing they don't know about myself is I'm not a quitter. And that meaning I'm not going to quit on the Kids. I'm not going to quit on America. I'm not going to quit on Georgia.
So I said that they had to fire me, but I they haven't sent me my letter that they fired me yet.
So I'm not sure whether they fired me or they was just threatening to fire me.
So as far as you know, you're still gainfully employed on that council.
Well, you know, I don't know whether you call it employment but they didn't pay me. See, I was doing it for free and so they never paid me and stuff, and that's what I'm saying, unless they they were paying me and somebody was keeping the money. That may have what was happening, but I wouldn't have got paid anyway because I've been working with kids my whole life. People don't realize I've been advocating for fitness for our kids my whole life. I love kids and right now that's they're one of the big reasons I'm running as well because We can't continue to let this country do what we're doing right now.
We got to be concerned about our kids our kids' future with this economy the way it's going. With what they're teaching the kids in school. And also, we want kids, every kid in America, to know that they can have that America's dream, the same one that I had. Herschel Walker is on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. You know, Herschel, one of the things that you will do when you are elected to the U.S.
Senate, you will have to vote on and confirm the President's Supreme Court nominees. If you were there now, how would you rule on Judge Jackson?
Well, you know, it's kind of interesting because I'm just confused why our people that are asking the question seem to be fighting among themselves. It's sort of like all of them are trying to get FaceTime and time on television. But yet, I want to know what they know about the Constitution. Is is if the person that's trying to confirm you got to know about the Constitution, I really believe in the Constitution of the United States of America, and I think we all got to believe in that.
So that's one of the things that I will be Very, very concerned about is if the people that we're going to confirm and love the Constitution. Would you, based on what you've seen over the past couple of days now, would you vote to confirm Judge Jackson?
Well, I hate to tell you, I haven't really seen it because I've been campaigning. People don't it's from what people have been saying because from what I heard from some of my opponents, That I haven't even been out there campaigning, but they don't realize I've been campaigning every day since I decided to run. We've been doing almost twelve to fifteen hour days, meeting with people. I've been doing these business sessions, doing fundraising. one of the things when I first decided to run, I got calls from certain senators and they were asking, can I raise money?
And they were asking, have I talked to the people?
Well, that's what I've been doing.
So I really hadn't seen what's been going on there in the hearings because I've been out trying to raise money because I I decided I that we have to raise the money. We have to listen to the people.
So I'm going to win this race. I told my mom when I got into the race, I meant this is to win it.
So, whatever I have to do, how much work I have to put in, I'm going to do it because I'm a winner, and I think Georgia is a winner.
So, I ordered a lot to the state of Georgia and a lot to this country.
Now, Herschel, one of the big issues, and this has been a big topic during the confirmation hearings, is this whole transgender sports thing. And it seems as though this is becoming really a political issue, probably is going to be a Supreme Court issue as well. How do you stand, and where do you stand on this issue of I do not think that They should have anyone that's like what's happening at Penn State competing against the women.
Now, I've spoken out against it. That is not what you should be doing as I totally, totally agree with it. And I'm not sure why they're even considering that right now. Right now, women we got to protect the our women, not just protect them on debt Area, but I've seen where they voted people who are men to be women out of the year. We ought to protect this.
This is not the country we grew up in, and I think we got to be able to say no. This is that I totally disagree with that. What is the big issue for voters? You said you're out there on the campaign trail talking to people. What are they telling you are the issues that really matter to them?
What's mattering right now is this economy. Right now, this economy is really, really putting a big strain on every Georgian out there because when you got to now fill up your tank with gas, one day I was filling my truck up it cost me over one hundred dollars to fill it up. I mean, you have people working paycheck to paycheck, having to pay one hundred dollars and and you know you got to drive to work and then you do other things besides that. You know, they're taking a lot out of you out of your paycheck to pay for the gas and then you got to pay for food. No food is going up.
I'm in the food service industry. And I'm having to charge more. And people think it's because I'm trying to make a profit. No, it's not. is because we're not energy independent anymore.
I have to pay more for the gas. I have to pay more for the feed. I even have to pay more for boxes. And it causes me to either pass a little bit alone to my customer, which increasing the food. And so the food chain is starting to really become a big problem.
So they're really, really concerned about those issues. And then you think about the crime. Right now, you think about the crime, what's going on in every city in this country today, every city in the state of Georgia, the crime has gone up. And the funding of police, I think we all have found out that, that was not a great idea there.
So people are concerned about those issues. And it's hard because I named a couple of them, but those are all that's going on. There's so much that's going on that You'll just pick one. I tell someone to pick one and yet We out here fighting about whether you want to fire a Herschel-funded council. Hey, let's let's think about let's solve some of these problems going on right now.
And as something that people don't know, and I'm gonna tell you, we're not a border state right now. We're not a border state, but do you know seventy percent of the drugs coming into this country goes through Atlanta, Georgia. You know, that was something I didn't know.
So that means you got human trafficking, and you have so much that's going on. That we have to fix, but we sort of have elected people to office that sort of want to forget about this. all they want to do is they want to be politicians. They want to talk about each other. They want to fight among each other.
Well, we can't be fighting among each other. We got to come together and solve these problems for our kids. We got to solve them for our fellow Georgians. We got to solve them for our fellow Americans. That's the way we're going to get this country back, is coming together, doing it together, doing it as one, not just worrying about myself.
Well said. Herschel, we're going to leave it there. I know you're a busy guy. I've got a lot of campaign stops today. And, of course, tomorrow, the big rally, I'll be there.
And I'm just glad I get to speak before you. I don't want to be the guy coming after Herschel Walker, unless it's President Trump, of course. A great day out for everyone to come out. and hear what everyone's gotta say. And remember, this is about us coming together Saving America, because that's what is so great.
This is the greatest country in the world, and we've got to fight for it to keep it like that. All right. And Herschel, you know, I'm a big University of Tennessee Vols fan, but I'm not wearing Tennessee orange tomorrow, just out of respect and honor to the Bulldogs.
Well, I think that'll be a good idea. Wear the red and black. For the first time, wear the red and black. All right, tomorrow, that's a deal. Don't forget to go hey, tell everyone to go to teamhears.com and help me put me in this Senate seat, because I can promise you You're going to have a fight in Washington for you.
All right, teamhearssel.com and Herschel, we've got direct links up on our live show blog. Folks, this is the man that President Trump is supporting, and he wants to be the next senator for the great state of Georgia. Herschel, God bless you. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow in Georgia. Hey, thank you, Nan.
God bless. All right. There he is. Herschel Walker, everybody. Rarely do we do an interview right out of the gate, but Herschel wanted to come on the program today, and we wanted to make that happen.
And there you go. It's going to be a brutal Republican primary. I can tell you that right now. And Herschel is, you know, look, President Trump has given his endorsement. And tomorrow, I'm going to be very anxious to see the polling numbers coming out of Georgia after this rally.
All right, we're going to take a break here: 844-747-8868. A lot of Georgia listeners, you heard from Herschel Walker. Is he your guy? Or is Gary Black your guy? Gary running against a long-term, a long-time Georgia Republican, very active in the state.

And it is a busy Friday around here. We've got a lot to talk about, but we're also focusing on some big races. And again, I'm honored to be a part of tomorrow's big Trump rally, mainly because I just love seeing all of our great listeners out there. And I know a lot of you guys are going to be there. I want to go to the phones.
We have Ed from Georgia listening to us on WDUN and wants to weigh in on the Herschel Walker run for the U.S. Senate. Ed, good to have you with us. What's on your mind? Hello, Cod.
I appreciate the opportunity to talk with you. Yes, sir. Yeah. The uh The comment I'd like to make is that Uh Of all the folks that are running for Senate in Georgia, Herschel is the only one who will not debate. The others.
And if I could encourage Herschel to go ahead and step up and debate the others at the Senate debate that's going to be going on in April, Uh I think he could show out and win over a whole lot of other people. Without doing so, it continues to fracture the group. And I would like to see the group united Without him debating, I don't know that he could hold his own against Warnock. I want to see that he can. If he can't hold his own against.
Like you mentioned Gary Black. or Kelvin King or Lennon Sadler. I'd like to see him stand up and hold his own against them, and then maybe we would all get behind him in the event that he wins in May. And, Ed, we're going to get those other guys on the program, too. Again, this is a big deal, and this is one of these benchmark races that we're following.
And I've heard these concerns. There have been a lot of concerns that Herschel has not been out there campaigning. He says he is. The debate issue, look, I'm with you. I think every time you can have a debate is a good thing, and it certainly prepares you for whenever you're going to have to go toe-to-toe with Raphael Warnock.
Do you think who do you like in the Senate race, Ed? Alternative to him if Kelvin King has done a wonderful he has a fabulous story. Kelvin King, uh uh uh Started out with mom and dad in making dad left home. He ends up as an Air Force. Uh Academy graduate.
and then has started his own construction company, well versed. His beautiful wife, Janelle, works on occasionally you'll see her on Fox News or uh the Georgia gang in Georgia. Kelvin has done a wonderful job. Leonard Sadler has got some good business background in Atlanta. You see some other some of the others are doing well.
Gary Black has uh worked itself Pretty hard to try to get some backing. But I think the one the front runner for me. Right now it would probably be Kelvin King if it's not Herschel. Do you believe that President Trump made the wrong pick here, or do you think he picked too soon? I think he had to pick Um Herschel.
I I don't think it was um I think it was too early. And I think if he had met Kelvin, he would have picked Kelvin.
Well, you know, it's interesting because Trump and Herschel had this long relationship. Herschel played in in the USFL when what was it, Trump owned the New Jersey Generals back in the day. Right.
So they've got a longtime friendship. And so I get that. But again, and we have seen this. We just saw it in Alabama, where Trump went out super early, endorsed Mo Brooks, had to withdraw that nomination, and now there's a free-for-all on the Republican side. I think in Alabama, it's going to be okay.
My bigger concern, Ed, in your state, when you look at the migration numbers, a lot of people from liberal states moving to Georgia and moving you guys closer and closer to a purple state. You're exactly right, particularly in the metro areas. although it's not only the metro areas And they're moving in in droves. It's just not even funny how big a Difference it's going to make. The the percentage of when Year over year is getting into the single organization.
Getting tighter and tighter and tighter and tighter. Ed, got to run for a break here. Appreciate the call. What say you, ladies and gentlemen? This is not just an issue in Georgia, by the way, and we've got those migration numbers from the Census Bureau.
I want to share with you. But you folks in the southern states, all these liberals coming in, we've got to hope and pray they don't bring their politics with them. 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. There's no doubt the nation is facing a financial crisis because of the Biden administration's economic policies.
Hi, this is Todd Stearns, and no doubt our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself.

com And again, I don't necessarily have a dog in the hunt in Georgia or in Ohio. I just want the best conservative. To be elected. That's all I'm after. And we've got to have strong candidates, ladies and gentlemen, all over America.
We've got to do it, or else we're not going to be able to retake the Congress. And there's too much writing on that. Too much writing on that. All right, good to have you back with us, everybody. Interesting survey, McLaughlin, the McLaughlin poll.
McLaughlin and Associates, and they are one of the top polling agencies in America. And I think this is fascinating. They recently asked Americans about the Second Amendment. And they have determined that after Russia invaded Ukraine, the number of people who support gun rights exploded in this country. According to the polling data, Two-thirds of the U.S.
population now support gun rights. That's pretty fascinating. I would suspect it should be more than that, but it is what it is. The Second Amendment Foundation commissioned the survey. They found 66% of people polled agree with this statement.
When you see what's going on with Vladimir Putin and Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, is it more important than ever for Americans to defend their Second Amendment constitutional freedoms for law-abiding citizens to continue to have the right to own guns for their personal protection? And I think that is an impressive number. But it needs to be more. Keep in mind: the only reason, the only reason, this country has not been invaded. is because most of us own guns.
And all the other countries see that, and they think we're all nuts, they think we're crazy, and we want them to think that. That's what we want them to think. Because that's what keeps us safe.
So look, yesterday Joe Biden Clearly off the meds, was overseas. I believe he's in Poland today. Visiting with NATO. And quite frankly, based on, and we've got the videos up on our website, the guy just looks weak, just so weak and timid.
So anyway, Biden's out there standing on foreign soil, and he's taking cheap shots at President Trump, but not just cheap shots. Joe Biden knowingly lied, spread lies about Donald Trump on foreign soil in the middle of what is, and quite frankly, on what is about to be, we are on the verge of World War III. We're on the verge of a shooting war with the Russians, and Biden is out there saying that Donald Trump is a Nazi lover.
So we're going to play the audio from Joe Biden, and then we're going to set the record straight. Cut number three. There is a presidential election coming up in 2024 and as you know there are white yes, that's true. And there are widespread concerns in Europe that a figure like your predecessor, maybe even your predecessor himself. might uh get elected president again.
So um are there any steps, anything uh you're trying to do and NATO is trying to do here these days to prevent what you're trying to do uh becoming undone two years from now. Thank you. No, that's not how I think of this. I've been dealing with foreign policy for longer than anybody is involved in this process right now. I have no concerns about the impact.
I made a commitment when I ran this time. I wasn't going to run again, and I mean that sincerely. I had no intention of running for president again. And until I saw those folks coming out of the fields in Virginia carrying torches and carrying Nazi banners and literally. singing the same vial Rhyme that they used in Germany in the early 20s, or 30s, I should say.
And then, when the gentleman you mentioned was asked what he thought, and a young woman was killed, a protester. And he was asked what he thought. He said, they're very good people on both sides. And that's when I decided I wasn't going to be quiet any longer. And when I ran this time, and I think the American press, whether they look at me favorably or unfavorable, acknowledge this, I made a determination.
Nothing is worth No election is worth my not doing exactly what I think is the right thing. Not a joke. I'm too long in the tooth to fool with this any longer. And so We're a long way off in elections. A long way off.
My focus of any election is on making sure that we retain the House and the United States Senate so that I have the room to continue to do the things that I've been able to do in terms of grow the economy and deal in a rational way with American foreign policy and lead the world. All right. That's what Biden said, and I wanted you to hear the full context of his statement. It was a little long and rambling, but there it is.
So now let's go back into the Todd Starns radio program Time Machine, and let's go back to Charlottesville, Virginia, and hear what President Trump said. Cut four. But you know what? It's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture, and you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally, but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?
And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You got a lot of bad people in the other group, too. All right, so that was what the president said. In no way did he praise the Nazis. As a matter of fact, the president goes on and on and on and on.
Multiple times, ladies and gentlemen, President Trump condemned the Nazis and the white supremacists. At the time of the confrontation, there was a debate, a raging debate, over a statue of Robert E. Lee. And the president was simply saying at the time, hey, look, there are some good and decent people who don't want to tear down these statues. I'm one of those people, by the way.
I don't think we ought to be tearing down statues. I don't think we ought to be whitewashing American history. That's not who we are as American citizens. But Trump was castigated by the mainstream media. And I will say this, thank goodness, for somebody like Jake Tapper, who actually went out on CNN, the most profane name in news, and ended up defending President Trump.
Cut five.
Now elsewhere in those remarks, the President did condemn neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
So he's not saying that the neo-Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people, but he is saying people protesting alongside those neo-Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people. There you go. Yeah. And it pains me to say this in our beautiful Liberty University studios. It pains me to say this.
But President Joe Biden is a liar. And he knows this. He knows that Trump did not praise the neo-Nazis. But Joe Biden went out on the national stage, the international stage, and he stood an American president, his feet on foreign soil. Spreading lies, vicious, ugly, and quite frankly, dangerous lies about Donald John Trump.
You say, Todd, why is it dangerous? Because what was the reasoning that Vladimir Putin used to invade Ukraine. Putin said, We've got neo-Nazis running around causing all sorts of problems in Ukraine, and we can't let the neo-Nazis take over Ukraine. Yeah. Well, what if, what if, Vladimir Putin actually believes the lies coming out of Joe Biden's aged and decrepit mouth?
What happens if Vladimir Putin? comes to the thinking that, oh, well, okay, if the neo-Nazis have taken over Ukraine, that's a horrible thing. We got to go to war. And wow, geezaloo, it looks like, or whatever they say in Russia, it looks like they're about to go and the neo-Nazis are about to conquer America and take over the White House.
So it's very dangerous, this ugly, despicable game that Joe Biden is playing. And it's not right. It's not right, ladies and gentlemen. And I will say this: I believe that statement, what Joe Biden did on foreign soil, should disqualify him from the White House. And he ought to be impeached right now.
If it had been Donald Trump, he would have already been impeached. If the Democrats had an opportunity, they would have impeached Donald Trump every single week. And quite frankly, the list is growing the number of reasons why Joe Biden should be impeached and removed from office. But this is a dangerous game that the Democrats are playing, and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of these people going out there and just flat out lying.
These are provable lies. But you know what? The mainstream media, they don't care. Except for Jake Tapper, thank you, Jake Tapper, our friends over at Newsmax. At least they're willing to get out there and yes, it may go against CNN's narrative, but at least they're not going out there and spreading this particular lie about Donald Trump.
844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. 844-747-8868. Why did they do it? I'm telling you, the reason why they do this is because they know that many of you have a short-term memory, and you're not going to remember.
And if they keep pounding it over and over and over and over and over again, that maybe, just maybe you will believe, oh, yeah, I remember when Trump sided with the Nazis. I remember that. No, you don't remember it because it never happened. And that's why we're going to, Grace, I want you to put these in an archive and just keep them handy because I know they're going to do this again. And we've got to call out these evil, godless heathen Democrats every time they do it.
You know, Joe Biden talks about, I'm a Christian, a good Catholic church. No, you don't. You're no Christian, sir. No Christian does what you do. Shame on you Shame on you.
844-747-8868. Going to the phones after this break.

Hey. Todd, I'm so pleased to know that you and Herschel and a whole bunch of other good people. and including the people out there in the crowd, will be at the rally tomorrow. And I'm but I'm very disappointed that I can't be there because I think I don't know if this would be the mother of all microaggressions, but I think it would might be in the top five.
So when President Trump comes out on the stage, I'm asking you and maybe some of your listeners today, if they're going to the rally, to consider greeting him as follows. Who's the leader of the club that wants to keep us free? D-O-N-A-L-D-T-R-U-M-P Donald Trump. Donald Trump forever let us wave our colors high. Come one, come all and stand up tall and fight for liberty.
D O N, A L D, T R U M P, and watch the left go. Berserk. Oh, that's very clever, Tom. All right. All right, we're done with Tom here because his, yeah, he, folks, here's a rule when you call the radio program, and I want to explain why this is.
When you call into a radio program, you've got to turn your radio down because there's a delay. And it's going to confuse you, and that's what happened to Tom with the lovely singing voice there in Gainesville, Georgia.
So be sure, if you're around a radio, turn down the radio and then come on and say your piece. All right, 844-747-8868. That's our telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. Janine listening to us on Nouga Radio in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Hi, Janine. What's going on? Hi there. Um His name is Sora. the things that are going on has a lot higher purpose as far as like the Illuminati wanting to change the structure of the world and the world government.
And that all of this is just leading up to that. It's not really about politics, it's more about what the So calm. Tom Brady called him the thirty-three billionaires running the show. You know, it was funny yesterday, Bernie Sanders was all upset, and he was calling out the American oligarchy and saying that two people actually own most of the wealth in America. And so Bernie says it's time to you know, the socialist says it's time to destroy all of these millionaires and billionaires in America.
Yeah, one more thing. Catholics and Christians, that's two different things.
So you gotta All right. Hey, Janine, yeah, we're not going to get into that. Come on now. Come on now. Thank you, Janine, for the call.
Appreciate that. Folks, come on. All right. Jesus Lord. Hey, that big rally Saturday, President Trump Newsmax is the only major news network covering the rally live.
I made the switch a long time ago. Love Newsmax. By the way, we did a great Newsmax segment yesterday with Chris Salcedo, and they've got some of the best coverage on Ukraine. They're also exposing the dangers of Joe Biden. And I think that's why millions of Americans are actually making the switch and watching Newsmax.
Even President Trump has made the Switch. By the way, this Saturday, tomorrow, President Trump is going to be talking about the war in Ukraine. He's also going to be giving some new warnings about the Biden administration's policies. And that's why you need to watch Newsmax and join their Trump list so you are in the know. All you have to do is text the word skip to 39747.
That's Skip to 39747.
So, Grace, we've got a busy show coming up. What's this thing? What's the story about the homosexual dog? I'm curious.
Well well apparently This dog's owners caught their dog doing something that, well, something that animals do. No, he was humping another, was it another dog? Is that right? He was having, but apparently. I'm sorry, he was having relations.
Yeah, that's why I'm trying to be delicate here, Todd.
So it was a male dog humping another male dog. Having relations. You told me I can't say humping a dog. A dog cannot be humping something. I'm sorry.
Will you let me finish the storytelling? Go ahead.
Okay, so they saw their dog doing this, and they declared their dog was gay. And then they abandoned their Dog. They went and just dropped him off. And was like, you are gay, and we are throwing you out. Where did this?
This is North Carolina. Yes. Are you sure this is not? We're not being punked or no, I'm pretty sure. I've seen this now pop up multiple times, and I finally was like, I gotta send this.
The Stanley County Animal Protective Services. Yes. Wow. And so they dropped off this dog, but I understand it. The dog has a new home, so that is a good thing.
And Yeah, I just I just read this and I was just like. How Silly are these people animal? They just don't. Apparently, in the relationship, that dog is the alpha dog.
Well, it's asserting dominance. And also, dogs hump pillows. People have relations. Have relations with pillows and everything. And it's just what animals do.
Fezco, that's the name of the dog. Fezco, four-year-old dog. The owner said he didn't want a gay dog and left him at the shelter. Poor thing. I just feel bad for the dog.
Well, I mean, and again, we don't know what the dog identifies. Why do I care? Yeah, this is true.
So, this is a big story, apparently. It is a big story because, I mean,. Again, I I grew up. very much so question the owner's intelligence.
So Alright. Do we know what kind of a dog it was? Um he looks Just like a lab mix. He's not, I'm not a specific breed. But he has been adopted and get this.
By a gay family.
Well, there you go. All right. Dog walked a certain way or anything? Oh, my God. I'm just asking.
I'm just asking. I guess all I can think of is like Alex Jones, the frog, frogs. Gay frogs.
Well, you know. That's all I think of. It's turning the freaking frogs gay. Wow, wow, wow. I don't know.
Woof, woof, woof. I don't know. How do you tell? That's true.
Well, there you go. Nowadays, you never know. You never know. Maybe it is the Illuminati. But now he's, you know, with a loving family, a gay family, ironically.
All right, people, we got to take a break here. This is the Todd Starts Radio Show. Wow. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite cunt-totant Bible-clinging deplorable American. Sure.
That's right. I love this American. Todd Starnes. Grace, have you heard they're starting a brand new ride at Disney World? Yeah, they're very woke over there now.
The folks at Disney World. Oh, really? I haven't heard about this game before. And I remember years ago when the grandparents. Mima and Pawpaw Starns took the grandchildren down to Disney World.
This was back in like the late 1970s, I think. And they had the little teacups, I'm sure. They had the little teacups. I was a little fella. I was a toddler.
Yeah, so now you remember it's a small world after all. How can you forget it? They're redoing it. They're revamping it. It's a trans world after all.
Wait, what? Yeah, and so instead of like Snow White, so it's a trans world after all. It's a trans world. Anyway, that's the.
So wait, what's Snow?
So Snow White is she going to be called Snow White in the middle? No, no. Ho White, it's Snow White in there.
Well, that's still being debated.
So because Snow is. Technically white, which might be triggering.
Well, unless it's the yellow snow. Or y. Don't eat it. Not gonna eat it. And the dwarfs are now gonna be like, you know, what is it?
Sleepy and dopey and Donner and Blitzen. That's Sana's reindeer, but now they're gonna take on like the personas of the Facebook, you know, 71 genders. Oh.
So it's like you're gonna have a gender, the agender dwarf. It's kind of like the Smurfs. Remember the Smurfs? Yes, of course I do. And you're gonna have gender fluid Smurf.
You're gonna have intersex and gender variant Smurf. Uh you're gonna They them smurf. You're going to have trans male smurf. Transcelender? To spirit.
No, not transcender. That's just me. I'm special. A little too progressive, actually. Could you imagine, though, if they if they actually did that?
Yeah, no, I can't imagine. Because but you know what? Nothing would shock me now. I have officially, and I've kind of held on to the Disney, but I'm jumping ship. We're making this up, people.
Oh, yeah. But I will say, but you know, people are thinking, yeah, all right. I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing that. At least something like that, right? Todd told a little fib in the Liberty University studios.
I know. Better go to church this Sunday.
Well, I want you to think about this for a moment, though, Grace.
Okay. The most intolerant people groups, and I've seen this right up front and very close and personal. The Broadway theater crowd, incredibly intolerant. Incredibly. They hate Christians.
They hate Christians. And if you are not supportive of every single thing they do with their life, they will destroy you, and you will not be able to have a career.
So a lot of young Christian kids, and I will say this: if you are a, let me back up. You could be Jewish, you could be any other kind of religion, but if you don't support their agenda, the way they live their life, they will destroy you. And so a lot of people, a lot of young people are super secret, super quiet. I mean, Broadway is actually worse than Hollywood. They are incredibly activist-minded.
And it's a horrible thing. And I've heard from a couple of very well-known Broadway stars who are, I hate to use this phrase, but they're in the closet because they don't want people to know they're conservatives. Whoa. They don't want people to know they're Trump supporters because they'd lose gigs. Incredibly intolerant.
And you feel it. I mean, you know, there have been a couple of opportunities back when I was at Fox News where I was invited to some Broadway, you know, previews and some parties, and there's just this very cold chill when you walk into the room with those people. Interesting. They are just, it's almost like they have a chip on their shoulder. And they're daring you to say something.
They're egging you on.
Well, so.
So you've got Broadway as probably the most intolerant, and I would say the second, it's not Hollywood. Again, maybe Hollywood's in my number three spot, but number two is Disney.
Well, Disney's part of Hollywood, you could argue. Yeah, yeah.
Sort of.
Sort of.
But you got the entertainment component of it, the the theme parks and all that stuff. By the way, remind me, we got to talk about that story about what happened in Orlando. We'll talk about that later, but remind me because I'll forget. Will do.
So Disney's there are conservatives that work at Disney. And I know that's shocking for a lot of people. Just like when I just said there are conservatives that work on Broadway, people are like, no way, Dodge drinking too many Baptist Martinis. No, it's true. There are.
But there are also a lot of conservatives and a lot of Christians who work at Disney. And they're in the same boat the Broadway crowd is. I mean, the. Again, it's I would I keep saying it's a small but vocal group of gays, but man, nobody, nobody is fighting back within the gay community here. And that's what really gets me, is that I think even the gays are scared of the gays.
Man. And the lesbians, especially. Everybody's scared of the lesbians. All this infighting. They were always very helpful to me in my neighborhood back in Brooklyn.
Something broke at the apartment, they were always happy to fix it. Nice.
So I've never had an issue, but I just don't get it. It's just the, and there are conservative gay, there are gay Republicans. You have the Lincoln, what is it, the Log Cabin, Log Cabin, Lincoln Logs. Yeah, Lincoln Logs. Lincoln logs.
Did you have those as a kid? Yes. I love the Lincoln Log. That's why I was like, Lincoln Logs? It was that or the erector set.
The what? Poor choice of words.
Okay, never mind. We will move on. Oh, my gosh. But I will say this: the log cabin Republicans, conservative Republicans, you know, and social liberals, but conservative nevertheless.
So you have these groups that ought to be speaking out about all of this, but they're not. They're quiet. And they're chickens. I'm not calling I'm not the law cabin. I'm just saying that there are people who have an opportunity to speak out that could get a debate going within that community, and they don't want to touch it with a tin football.
Okay. So a group of Disney employees have written an open letter. Calling out all of this stuff, and here's what they want. And I'm going to read this, and I'm telling you, Grace, there will be conservatives listening to this radio program who will, who are. who are going to oppose this.
But I ultimately think this is the best thing. And here it is. This is the phrase that's going to drive people nuts. The conservative Christian the conservative religious people who work at Disney are calling for management to have a politically neutral Disney. In other words, they don't want Mickey Mouse campaigning for Donald Trump, and they don't want Minnie Mouse campaigning for Joe Biden.
I think that is the best move, too. I love this. Look, when I. Entertainment. You see, and that's the thing.
Politics has ruined. the movie industry. They've ruined the entertainment industry. Exactly. I mean, why do we have to insert politics on one side or the other?
Look, I mean, if somebody wants to go out there and say, okay, you know what? I'm a country music artist and I support the Second Amendment, or I'm a new age jazz musician and I want to support the lesbians, fine. Do whatever you want to do. But why do you, as a company, as a corporation, have to advance a certain political agenda? Yeah, especially like in regards to bills and such coming out.
And then, you know, Disney's like, we're going to write a statement and we're going to talk to the governor. And I'm like, why? Just stick to your Disney says that they believe that Preschoolers should be taught about gay sex and heterosexual sex. Exactly. I sincerely disagree with that.
That is very creepy. That doesn't make me homophobic or heterophobic. It just makes me a common sense American with a functioning brain. Uh As employees of the Walt Disney Company, we believe in the dignity of all people, reading from this open letter. This is why we do what we do: we write stories, we make costumes, we act in parades, we run cruises, we stream movies, we make magic.
We do this because our work contributes to a fountain of wonder. Oh, that's a nice line that inspires joy, awe, and delight in guests and audiences of all ages. That's kind of like our theme, our mission statement here on the Todd Cearns Radio program. We're just a fount of what was it? Wonder?
Fountain of wonder. Yeah. I think we inspire joy, awe, and delight in our guests, our listeners.
Well, maybe a few other things, but sure. Maybe some indigestion. A little bit. Jerry the Liberal from Milwaukee. Yeah.
We are proud employees of the Walt Disney Company. We love our jobs because we get to share the wonder of life and human experience with millions of people worldwide.
However, over the last few years, one group of cast members has become invisible within the company. The Walt Disney Company has come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive. We watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership. Fair enough.
Now, you think about this. Back in the day when Walt Disney, Walter Elias Disney, Was walking the face of the earth, and he created Disney World. There was a strong faith component. It was not a Billy Graham evangelistic crusade, but there was a respect for God in everything they did. And if you remember up until a few years ago, they actually used to do a big Christmas carol singing with religious Christmas carols, but they're not doing that anymore.
Yeah, I think he'd be pretty upset with a lot of things that have happened. I think he'd just blow it all up. Say, you know what? This is not take my name off of it. This is not who we are.
He would be like, oh, we need to, you know, endorse Trump and this and that. I think he would just be like, we just need to leave all of that out.
So It I will just say this, and it's, but there's truth to what I'm about to say. The radical. LGBT movement, they've taken over Broadway and they've taken over Hollywood and they've taken over Disney World. Yep. That's just what that's what's happened.
Yeah. And you can agree with that, or you can say that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that's just the reality of it. And this is what it looks like. The same thing happened. I don't have finished reading this letter yet, Grace.
But let me, as a brief pivot, in my last book, Culture Jihad, How to Stop the Left from Killing a Nation, available on Amazon, did a story, a chapter, about how country music is being attacked by this same mob. It's the LGBT mob. Small mob, vocal mob, everybody's terrified of them. Oh, yeah. And they actually forced Governor Mike Huckabee, our good friend Governor Mike Huckabee, to resign from the Country Music Association Foundation.
And the only point of this is not a political organization. All they do is they raise money to buy music instruments for kids who don't have enough money to buy a musical instrument for them. School. That's awesome. A great noble cause.
But the gays that now run some of the music labels, and one of them led the charge, said someone like Mike Huckabee is not welcome in country music anymore because he doesn't approve of my marriage to my husband. That's what they, I mean, you can Google it. If you don't believe my book, Google it. It's not like Huckabee was attacking people or anything. It has nothing to do with anything.
Huckabee shares a belief. And by the way, I guarantee you're going to get rid of Mike Huckabee. Huckabee, you got to get rid of just about everybody who listens to country music. I would say in that demographic, about 95% of the people who listen to country music believe in traditional marriage. Yeah, I would agree.
But what the hell does that have to do with buying musical instruments for poor children? Nothing. There's no connection. Let me go back to this Disney letter. The company's evolving response to the so-called don't say gay legislation, which by the way doesn't say gay.
In Florida, has left many of us wondering what place we have in a company actively promoting a political agenda so far removed from our own. Yeah. Leadership frequently communicates its commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where cast members feel comfortable sharing their perspectives and being their authentic selves at work. That is not our workplace experience. And they go on and on and on here.
An internal poll within the company went out a few months ago asking if we felt accepted in the company. Many of us did not complete it because the nature of the questions made us worry the results of the poll could be used to target us for quietly holding a position that runs against the progressive orthodoxy that Disney seems to promote. It's a fair point. I mean, that would be I mean, it's such a giant company, that could be kind of terrifying. Walt Disney has fostered an environment of fear that any employee who does not tow the line will be exposed and dismissed.
This is horrifying. That does not, I don't know. Maybe this is just me, but it does not sound like the happiest place on earth. No, definitely not to work at. All right.
844-747. There's more to this, and we'll try to get to that after this break here. And we're going to take your cause on this. Does this give you pause for supporting the Disney Corporation? I mean, will this cause you to change your vacation plans or what movies you go to see or what apps you want to download?
844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868. I feel bad for these folks. I really do. We'll be right back.
Uh Um All right, people, welcome back to the Tom Cearns Radio Program. I mean, some of you may say, you know what? Yeah, we disagree with Disney. We don't believe that you should be teaching preschoolers about gay sex either, but you know what? We really like Splash Mountain, or we really like all these other things.
So we're willing to turn a blind eye. To all of Disney's woke leftist policies and anti-family policies, because we want to have a fun time and we don't want to upset our family vacation. I guess I get that. Actually, I really don't. Come on, folks.
I mean, look, it's going to take some effort if we're really going to if we're going to change the culture here. But if you knew that Disney was intentionally punishing Anyone who did not Bow down and sign or pledge allegiance to the gay agenda here. If you knew that was happening and you're still going to Disney World, that's on you. It's on you, and I'm not apologizing for it. It's on you.
You know, there's another wonderful theme park right next to Disney World, which is Universal. I would go to Universal SeaWorld, but do they still have shamoo or is that against the law? That's SeaWorld. I don't know. Totally different.
Universal has Harry Potter, you know, a lot of fun stuff like that. Super DC superheroes Okay, it's not as good as you know what's going to happen.
Now you're going to get me in trouble with all the because there's like a group of people that hate Harry Potter. Oh, I know. I grew up in that kind of thing. All right, you know.
So thank you for bringing that up, Grace.
Sorry. Anyway, so again, I'm just saying here that you have choices to make. And what we are hearing directly from these Christian employees of Walt Disney is that, you know, we don't support any of this stuff. And we've been told that if we say anything, that if we say anything they disagree with, that we can lose our jobs. And I don't think that's right.
They're making money off of the American family, and at the same time, they're turning around and thumbing their nose at the American family.
So what's wrong with being politically neutral? That's my question. What's wrong with that? And the letter, and we'll post this on our website so you can read it for yourself. They say Disney should not be a vehicle for one demographic's political activism.
It's so much bigger and more important than that. More than ever, the world needs things that we can unite around. That's the most valuable role the Walt Disney company could play in the world at this time. I completely agree with that. It's a role we've played for nearly a century, and it would be a shame to throw all of that away.
Just think about this, and let me finish reading this. It would be a shame to throw all of that away in the face of left-wing political pressure. Don't let Disney become just another theme we divide over. And that's the thing. For almost 100 years, they've been non-political.
And now the left is on the verge of destroying Disney World, much like they did the NFL. 844-747-8868, we'll be right back. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Don't jump.
You guys are used to jumping. Don't jump. Anyway. Thanks for letting me come and say hello to you all. You know, uh.
I've been saying this a long time. The people who travel with me know that because I was a senator for 36 years, the Foreign Relations Committee, traveled around the world. Eight years as vice president, now president. You know, uh, a couple things. First of all, Thank you.
You represent 1% of the American people. None of you have to be here. You all decided to be here for your country. Everyone here volunteered. Every single one of you stepped up.
And the rest of the 99% of the rest of the country, including me, owes you. And owes you big. Number one. Number two, you know, we're a unique country in many ways. And we're the only country, the only country in the world not based, organized based on geography or ethnicity or religion or race or anything else.
We're based on an idea. Literally the only country in the world based on an idea. That we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all women and men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, sounds corny, but it's the truth of who we are. We've never lived up to it. But we've never walked away from it.
and the rest of the world looks to us. Because you know, we not only lead by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. All right, there you have the President of the United States. And it was interesting. We've got the video up on our website, speaking to troops overseas, and they looked like they were forced at gunpoint to sit there and listen to the President.
But I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen, when you hear the Declaration of Independence, does that sound corny to you? Can you imagine what the media would have done if Donald Trump had said something like that? It would have been wall-to-wall news coverage. Trump disparages founding documents. He's got to be impeached.
They would impeach him again. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Our good friend and one of the stars of Newsmax TV, Lindsay Keith, joins us.
Lindsay, hope you're doing good today. Hey, Todd, great to be with you. You know, Lindsay, when I mean, Biden went over to Poland to undo the damage that Kamala Harris did. I'm not quite sure the mission was accomplished. Yeah.
You know, just listening, re-listening to him say that, it's really sad that he thinks he needs to apologize in some way for, you know. the declaration and Ultimately, also saying that we aren't built on any religion. I mean, those rights. Are from God. You know, we are endowed by our Creator.
That is from God. Trying to be so quote unquote politically correct that he's taking away the significance of why we have those rights in the first place, what our founding fathers intended by it. And to your point, also making jokes about the first point I said, don't jump, don't jump that people are sitting up higher than him. He went over here for a very serious matter, the serious matter that our troops are over there to reinforce our NATO allies, and he's just making jokes. It it's unfortunate.
You know, we had Neil Gardner on the other day who used to work with Margaret Thatcher, and he said something that really struck me, Todd. He said from a British standpoint, they see America as a superpower starting to fade, which is really sad. I put that on the shor shoulders. Of Biden, of this administration, who they said they were going to take foreign policy seriously. They were going to make America serious on the world stage again.
And he is not proving that to be true. He is not taking that. Taking it seriously in the sense of how he's acting, his words, and apologizing for the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. When you look at NATO, I mean, that is predominantly the United States. We're the glue, and I would suspect that we're the foundation of NATO.
You've got Germany out there, and their military has been greatly depleted, and we're it.
So these are serious times, and you do wonder tone and tenor and body language. I mean, this is all part of it when you're talking about geopolitics. When you've got Biden over there cracking jokes, Kamala Harris with the nervous cackle. I'm not quite sure this is very reassuring, to your point, to our allies. Absolutely.
Something, you know, we've talked about this on Spicer and Company yesterday, and many people have played it, him saying that he never thought. that these sanctions on Putin, on Russia were meant to deter, which is opposite from what his White House has been saying. He had even said at the beginning that they were weeks ago they were meant to deter. He's changed his tune. His White House has not.
The administration has not You have Anthony Blinken saying they're meant to deter, Jake Sullivan saying they're meant to deter.
So if you don't have an aligned message from this administration, from this White House, from the United States, then how does he think that Putin is getting a clear message about what we are trying to do here? And that is concerning. If this administration cannot get their act together, how do they think that they're going to look tough to this dictator, to this terrible person, they're not.
So that's I think one of the concerning things and ultimately why we're seeing his you know, poll ratings plummet because He's not doing what he said he's going to do. And I've said this before, Todd. I don't want to see Biden fail. I don't want to see Kamala Harris fail on the world stage. I want to see them make Americans proud.
And I'm not rooting for them to fail. I'm rooting for them to succeed. America needs to look strong here. And they're doing the opposite. It's very disheartening.
There is another piece of audio, and we'll be efforting this. We'll try to get it later, but I want to read to you the gist of it. This is from the RNC Research. They're tweeting this out. Biden tells the 82nd Airborne they're going to Ukraine.
And this is the quote from the president: You're going to see when you're there, you're going to see women, young people standing in the middle in the front of a damn tank saying, I'm not leaving.
Now, I'm just I hope that we're not going to Ukraine. But if Biden is actually telling these service members they're about to go to Ukraine, I mean, Lindsay, we all know what that means. Why would you say something like that even in an off the cuff way? You wouldn't, right? And this goes back to Todd, just being so unaligned and not sticking with a clear message.
I mean, This administration has been very clear time and time again: we're not putting boots in the ground in Ukraine. They're not a NATO ally. We want to help them with resources and weapons, but we're not going to put boots on the ground. And then, himself, he's explaining to them, building an image of what it will be like when they're in Ukraine.
So it does lead. Even the White House has come out since then said, no, we stand by this message. We're not putting troops in Ukraine, then why do we have our president talking about our troops about being in Ukraine? They can't get the message straight.
So either he's not listening to them or he's not. tapped into what he's supposed to be saying, it's so confusing. That we don't have somebody that is and I don't even want Taking it seriously may not be the right word, but just being. being aligned with one message, they can't do it. It's so It's so mind-blowing, honestly.
It's like if you're saying you're not going there, then why are you explaining what you're going to see when you go there? And if we are going there, why are you out there telling the enemy what you're about to do? That's my concern here. And I'm with you, Lindsay. I mean, you've got the commander-in-chief on foreign soil meeting with our troops.
We're on the verge of a shooting war with the Russians. These are serious times over there, and you have to hope that there are serious-minded people in the Pentagon and in other places in the government that understand what Biden is about to get this country involved in, and we just can't go down that path. And also, why are you scaring our troops and their families after you've said, hey, we're not doing this? And now you have probably families back home of their loved one is over there thinking, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I just thought we were going to support.
Now I just heard that my loved one is about to be in a war zone. How frightening in all Also, I mean, this is the guy who is playing his he's told Bot uh Putin everything That he was going to do or not do. We've had many people on our show, military experts, say he's showing way too many cards. And he needs to threaten Putin but not show his card so clearly. And so I mean, Putin's probably like, whoa, I thought you weren't going to send people there.
Are you now? It's just a terrible scenario to put our soldiers in and also to put America in, frankly. And Lindsay, you and I, I just and I'm with you. It's a little confusing. I don't know if the guy really is to the point where he has absolutely no control of his mental faculties or if, in fact, he is really going to send our troops to Ukraine.
I just don't know what to believe. And that's a big problem. And that's really been the narrative of this administration. And I'm curious to know what you guys hear from your viewers, which are now in the millions and millions. You know, Thank you.
Our viewers are frustrated, obviously, with this administration. Our viewers are concerned with. we felt happy with Afghanistan. You know, we've already it's not like this is the first time we have this administration who's bungled.
something overseas. And unfortunately, that took the lives of military servicemen and women. And now we have a President who is just speaking loosely and about service members again. he should be taking this to the utmost of concern and respect, and we don't see him doing that. He he's leading everyone astray.
And so I think for that reason, there's not a lot of trust amongst American people, definitely not amongst our viewers, about that this guy can handle a foreign scenario well because he did so poorly with how he got us out of Afghanistan and then called it a great success.
So you gotta wonder, is he just Trying to be politically savvy here and say, hey, I've done nothing wrong, or does he genuinely believe that he did a great job when U.S. service members died? That something that could have been likely prevented. This guy got us into this terrible scenario. Americans are concerned and This, he's not helping.
You know, you would hope that he could learn lessons from his past mistakes. We're not seeing that. Lindsay, real quick here, and by the way, Lindsay Keith from Newsmax TV on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line here in our Liberty University studios. Lindsay, what's coming up on the big show tonight? All right.
Well, we have two members of Parliament from the Ukrainian Parliament who are going to be on with us tonight. We also have Herschel Walker on, which is going to be an interesting story, Todd, because he was just kicked off Biden's board And Biden's been doing this, kicking people off all these boards. And so, why has he done it? Dr. Oz was also kicked off.
Um And so we're going to talk to him, get his take, see how he's pushing back. It should be a good show.
Well, you're going to love it. He was just on the show in the noon hour.
So you'll have a fun interview. All right. Well, I'm looking forward to it. All right. Lindsey Keith, everybody.
And watch her tonight with Sean Spicer on Newsmax TV. Folks, 844-747-8868. Again, President Biden. And guys, let me know when we get that audio. Oh, we've got it.
All right. Let's take a listen to what the President just told the 82nd Airborne. And you're going to see when you're there, and sometimes you've been there, you're going to see, you're going to see women, young people stand on, stand in the middle of front of damn tank. It's just saying I'm not leaving. I'm holding my ground.
They're incredible. Folks, I don't think he's well. And if I were in charge at the White House, I'd be bringing him right back to Washington, D.C. I'd be gathering the cabinet together and invoking the 25th Amendment. And we may need to do that before this guy, this Yahoo, gets us involved in a shooting war with the Russians.
All right, let's go to the phones here. Georgia TP is on the line, listening to us from WDUN. All right, TP, what's on your mind? How are you doing, Todd? I try to hit you up about once a week.
I'm listening to your show about. how we're looking over there in Ukraine. This is how the Democrats are caught up in their own aura. They. You know how pr in war and in life and just everything, you study your adversary.
So These world leaders and these people that are having to deal with us, whether they're our friends or our enemies. They watch us on the news. They don't watch this CNN. They watch all the news channels. And when we portray weakness on the world stage, we pay more for anything that we do, whether it be paying more for oil or paying more for coal or paying more for Something from another country overseas or paying more at the negotiating table or trying to come up with a peace treaty or.
A nuclear deal, or what have you. And when we our leaders are so caught up in their own aura that they don't realize. How they're fumbling around in the dark. Makes us look Ultimately, Americans are paying the price, whether it be our servicemen, our consumers, our children, or whatever. You know, TP, I mean, you're raising a lot of great points here.
And again, when you look at the polling data, Fox News, there's a brand new poll out just late, late last night. A majority, an overwhelming majority of American voters say they want the United States to do more to help Ukraine against Russia. And meanwhile, you have the administration hemming and hawing, and they have yet to send over what the Ukrainians need. And the Ukrainians, they don't want the 82nd airborne in their country. They just need the tools to fight the Russians for themselves.
And I've got to tell you, TP, the Ukrainians have been doing a pretty heck of a great job doing that thus far. Can I say one more thing? I I agree with you. We should be proud that the Ukrainians don't want they just thinking they're born there. If if we're doing everything they ask us to do, Then That's what we should do, and if it doesn't go How they wanted it to, then we did what they asked us to do.
But this is on the flip side and totally unrelated, but you'll understand. It would be no different. the way people see Biden, it would be no different than a guy showing up at a yard sale and he's haggling with somebody about the price of something, he pulls out a wad of money.
Well, the price is not going to go down when you pull out a wad of money.
Now that's the exact opposite of what we're portraying. When you go over there and portray weakness, the price is going to go up. on everything because they know that we They got us because we are showing that we are waffling in our resolve and we are portraying weakness. And by the way, yes, we are. And to that point, according to the Fox News poll, 85% of Democrats, 77% of Republicans, 66% of Independents say we need to be sending military equipment to Ukraine.
And here's the more pressing issue. And folks, we're going to have to take a quick break here. TP, thanks for the call. According to the Fox News poll, I'm sorry, 75% of you are extremely or very concerned about war between the United States and Russia, 73% concerned about nuclear war. What say you?
844-747-8868. We'll be right back. You know, on this Friday, I want to encourage you guys to check out a great organization called the Association of Mature American Citizens. Doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80, you can join this great group as they're fighting for the future of America, and they're standing up for you. AMAC is The conservative voice for mature Americans.

But I'm curious, based on the Fox News poll, are you concerned about war between the United States and Russia? People are going nuts over on social media about Biden, and we play that audio, and we'll do it again in the next hour. But Joe Biden telling the 82nd Airborne that they're going to be going to Ukraine. And people are when did this escalate?
So we're going to keep you updated. We'll also see if, in fact, the White House walks back that statement. But regardless, it sends a very bad message to the enemy, which is Russia, and it sends a very disturbing message to our allies. All right, 844-747-8868. Hour three coming up next.
Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American. Todd Starnes. All right, good afternoon, America.
Welcome to the Todd Searns Radio Program. Hope you are having a great day wherever you might be, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruit hood plain. Grace Baker, the Cadillac is gassed up and ready to head due east. $200 later. Sweet mercy.
I was just starting to weep. And the more the gas price went up, the more I began to loathe Democrats. Too bad your tears cannot fuel your car. True, true. Heading to Commerce, Georgia.
So we're going to be driving through the night, getting there in time for the big Trump rally tomorrow. And very excited to be speaking at that rally. You heard from Herschel Walker earlier in the program. Of course, President Trump is going to be the man of the hour. But the man of this hour is running for lieutenant governor in Georgia, Burt Jones, who is on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
Mr. Jones, good to have you with us today. Hey, Ty, good afternoon. Good to be with you, and appreciate you having me on today. I have to imagine you're excited about tomorrow in commerce.
Oh, yes, absolutely. You've been to the Trump rallies before. They're like they remind me. I told somebody on the National Show the other day there if you if you've ever been if you've ever been to the SEC football game, that's kind of what a Trump rally reminds you of. It's There's a lot of energy, a lot of uh lot of lot of uh good people walking around, and and everybody's there for a good time and and uh and and eager to hear the Here, President Trump give a message.
So we're excited about it and glad he's come down here to endorse us for our Kansas City Lieutenant Governor. And looking forward to it. I hope to see you there. You were a, and I will definitely see each other back behind stage. Lots of it's always fun back there, and you meet all sorts of great people.
Normally, Mike Lindell always drops by. I don't know if Mike's coming on this trip, but it's just sort of a who's who in the Trump world backstage there at those rallies. You know, Bert, you've got quite a career and very well known, not just in the business community, but going back to your college years, you were a four-year letterman at the University of Georgia on the Bulldog football team. I'm a Tennessee volunteer, so I'm not going to hold that against you, Bert.
So, I guess that is a good thing for you in Georgia.
Well, I tell you, I know Tennessee's gone through some rough time here in the last few years, but back when I played, they were the junger died in the SEC.
So we used to have some good battles with them. But I always enjoyed playing in Nealon Stadium, I will say that. You were in 2014 named a Distinguished Alumni, and you're named to the 40 under 40 list.
So you've got some great credentials. And I'm wondering, Bert, for you, what is the issue that you're focusing on as Republicans work to maintain control of the statehouse here in Georgia? You know, the best is we've been and the Georgians have actually been in a good situation from economic standpoint last few years. We wanted to stay that stayed open during the pandemic, and because of that, we have a surplus in our budget this year. But I will say that we have given out tax credits and incentives for many years now, and I think it is time and that's one of the things I'm running out of time for us to move towards rewarding the businesses that are currently here, the families that are currently here.
And we want to move toward I'd like to see us move towards eliminating our state income tax. the people we compete most with is states like Tennessee and Florida and Texas. And the advantage they have over us is they do not have state income taxes. And so we I want to move towards us Eliminating our state income tax, you know, we want to have a Law and order, the law and order has been an issue all across the country right now, and it is here in our capital city of Atlanta. And uh we need to we need to uh Bone up our support of men and women in law enforcement and do things to help recruit and retain people.
in those, and of course, you know, the big issue on the campaign trail Yeah, two things really is lation integrity. That's a huge issue right now. People are still upset about 2020, and there's some things that uh we need still need to do to Correct some of the issues that happened in 2020, like eliminate the drop boxes and getting rid of the diving your machines and I plan on doing that. When elected to the lieutenant governor's file, it's going to be my top priority. Burt Jones.
I'm sorry, go ahead, Bert. Oh, and I was just going to say, in our K through twelve education, this indoctrination that's going on in our public school systems right now is out of control, and we've got to get a handle on that. Bert, you mentioned election integrity, and that is a huge deal. I think there's an argument to be made that that issue really cost Republicans the senatorial races. There are lots of other issues.
And I know there seems to be some people are calling it turmoil. Others are saying there is a bit of unrest right now within the Republican Party there in Georgia. What is it going to take to get everybody on the same page?
Well, number one, I think that our party has grown. Actually, people say we have we're in turmoil, but I don't think we are. I think a lot more people are engaged in the process right now, which is which is a good thing. We do have some very heated primary races going on from the From my race down, and voters gonna have an opportunity to pick the person. That they feel like will best represent them on the Republican Party ticket.
And once that the primaries are passed us on May twenty fourth, then I think you will see everybody kind of coalesce around the nominees and because the big prize obviously is in November, And we've got a lady by the name of Stacey Abrams that's become a national figure that on the as far as on the political front. And we know her values and her beliefs do not fit Georgia values. And so I think people will be energized to win in November. But we are going to have some tough primary fights, and that's just the way it is. We've always had curved primary fights through the years.
This is not something that's new, but it's just gotten a lot more attention. than it has in years past. All right. Well, Bert, we're going to have to leave it there. Good luck tomorrow at the at the rally.
Look forward to meeting you and best of luck to you out there on the campaign trail. Todd, I appreciate you having me on today. People are interested in learning more about our campaign, I'd like to plug. Go to Burt Jones for GA.com, BertJonesforga.com. Thank you for having me on.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Todd. All right, Burt Jones, everybody, on the Patriot Mobile, News Maker Line here in our beautiful Liberty University studios. It is a mess in the Republican Party right now in Georgia. The infighting is just unbelievable. I'm curious if you folks in North Carolina are facing the same sort of controversy.
Here in Tennessee, we're pretty good, but there's just a lot of turmoil and unrest, and Republicans are trying to figure out what kind of Republicans they want to be. Do you want to be a Donald Trump Republican? Do you want to be a Mitt Romney Republican or a Liz Cheney Republican?
So there's just really an identity crisis within the Republican Party right now. Look, we're going to take a break here. 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number. 844-747-8868.
You know, a few moments ago, I was telling you about our good friend Mike Lindell. I mean, you talk about a man who puts it all on the line. I mean, here's a guy who is still out there today fighting the good fight, standing up for American people and integrity at the ballot box. And in response to that, he has really been attacked financially. It's just unbelievable what they have done to Mike's business.
Many of the big box stores no longer sell my pillows.

Yeah. Grace, what were we doing a couple of weeks ago in Orlando? Was that CPAC? Yes. It was, that's right, CPAC.
You've had quite the whirlwind of a few weeks when you had CPAC, you had NRB, you had Santa Barbara, California. And now you've got the Trump route. With the Reagan ranch. This is our busy season. We're doing a lot of speeches.
Got a couple more coming up, too. But those are sort of here in the neighborhood. Yes. That's all good.
So we were, so we went out to eat the hotel. It was a great hotel. I loved it. But we went out to this area around. First, we went to Disney Springs.
Oh, yes, we did go to Disney Springs.
Now, should we not have gone there? I mean, is that part of the Disney community? Yeah, because you don't have to pay a ticket to get in. And all of the businesses are not necessarily quote-unquote like Disney businesses, but you know, they pay rent to Disney. Went to Wolfgang Puck's.
Yes. That was a great meal. It was a really good meal. Really enjoying. I had the schnitzel.
The schnitzel. Yeah, I know. I didn't know what that was. Wolfgang's, I think, what, Austrian, and it's a very simple dish, but it's just made very well. It was very good.
So, anyway, I recommend if you're going to go to a nice, fancy restaurant, go to Wolfgang Puck's. And it was an upscale restaurant, but it wasn't like pretentious. No, not at all. You see, I don't like the ones where they, you know, the schematic. That was just very casually for them.
Yeah, it was great. You know, but every I don't like the ones where it's got the white tablecloth, and every three minutes they're replacing your silverware. That's true.
You know, just give me the fork. I just need a fork. That's it. I'm good.
Well, speak for yourself. I'd like a knife too.
Well, you get a knife, but you know what I'm talking about. I know what you mean. And there's this one what I forget where I was at the other day, and every time I took a sip of iced tea, they were giving me a new glass of iced tea. And I'm like, I just took a sip of this. It's a waste.
It's a terrible waste. I just don't know. I'm curious where you went to. You have to tell me later. I'll tell you later.
I mean, it's very nice, but you know. Anyway, um You were talking about Orlando. No, I'm getting to it. I know where I'm going.
Okay, it's Friday. I don't know. I've already checked out the week.
Well, I have checked. No, we don't check out. You're thinking about the Georgia rally. I'm thinking about a long drive tonight, is what I'm thinking about.
Well, I know our managing editor, Caleb Park, is traveling with you. Does he have a playlist ready to go? I guess, but I control the radio. Oh, okay. But the problem is, he drives the speed limit, and I don't.
You drive under right? I want to get there in a hurry. You drive under the speed limit. Like a responsible citizen. If the speed limit is, you know, 95.
Eighty, something like that. It's a smooth ride. What can I say?
Okay. I'm just telling you. Just get there in one piece.
So, anyway, Grace, so we went to another place, and what was a Mexican place? Yes. Uncle Julio's? Yes. Wow, how did I remember that?
That was impressive because I sure didn't remember. Uncle Julio's, and it's this sort of entertainment complex. Yes. They're in Orlando. And they have the giant, what, Ferris wheel, and they have this other thing where you, it's a circular thing.
What's it called? The icon? Yeah. Well, it's the icon park that we were in. Icon Park.
Okay. But it was the ride, I don't even know what the name of it was, but it was one of those ones that shoot you up and straight down. The drop of death. Yeah, basically. I hate those rides.
I've never liked them. They make your stomach drop, and I feel sick afterward, and it's not worth it.
So A horrible thing happened last, it was this last night when a family, this is all filmed. And I want to say this: we've got the video. Normally, we post our videos at the top of the page. We did not do it with this. The video is out there, and some of you may want to see it.
Others of you may not want to see it, but it's there on our website, and it's at the bottom of the story.
So, we've got it. Ben Dieter wrote the story. He's the writer, staff writer. And as the story goes, a 14-year-old boy was on this ride, and the video clearly shows Grace that people were having a hard time understanding: okay, is there a seatbelt? Is there a seatbelt?
How does this work? How do we, you know, how do we latch ourselves in? Yeah, I know it had like an over-the-head. Um Like handles that went over your head, and you could hold on to each. But yeah, it was a little bit of a weird setup, and people were very confused.
In some rides, though, they have those sort of over-the-shoulder harnesses, and then they just sort of lock in automatically. Yes, you normally hear it go right, and you can't move. I mean, you're there, but if you're smaller, I guess you could slip out or something. Yeah, that's why you're supposed to pull it as close as you can to your chest. I almost do it to where I'm like holding my breath because I want to be so secure.
So, this 14-year-old kid falls out on the way down, and the whole thing is captured on video. The whole thing, and people are just really freaking out now. They have shut down the ride indefinitely and trying to figure out what happened. Yeah. Uh and w weirdly they Park put out a statement saying the rest of their attractions were gonna be open at their normal business hours.
And I was like, Who in their right mind would go there today or the next few days for that matter while this is all going on? And you know no one's going to be wanting to get on any of their other rides. I wouldn't. You know. Yeah, I'm not a big, and again, I know it's well, it's a once-in-a-life.
You know what? All it takes is once. And I don't, you know, you don't, I don't, I just don't enjoy those rides. Yeah. And it was a very graphic video, and I've noticed it's trending on Twitter, and people are just sharing this video.
And the thing about it being like on somewhere like Twitter, you're just scrolling along and you see that, and it automatically starts playing, and you don't know what you're watching, and then it shows it, and it's incredibly graphic. And then afterwards, you're just like, why are people just sharing this everywhere? I don't know if.
So we don't know.
Well, I think there's a general interest. I mean, people, you know, when horrible things happen, but at least put a disclaimer or a warning or something. Yeah, that is a concern. And we did not share this on the Twitter feed. I'm just not going to do that.
No. But if it's there, it's been out there all day, and it's an important story. People are talking about it, and a lot of people go to amusement parks. And, you know, you really sometimes you don't think about this. You just imagine that they've taken all the safety precautions.
You know, they've crossed all the T's, dotted all the I's, and you're there to, you know, to be terrified. Yeah, to be terrified and have a good time. And you're not thinking about it. Because. Again, these rides have been, you think, oh, there's been hundreds of people that have gone on this thing.
And you just don't even think twice about it. No, and yes, that's true. And I wouldn't, because, well, first of all, I wouldn't be doing this in the first place. Yeah, I again, I hate those kinds of rides that drop you just up and down, but like a roller coaster, I love roller coasters. I remember the concept.
The staff got me. We were out in California at Disneyland. And they were giving us, this is several years back, before they went. I was going to say, before the wokeness. And so it was like 50 degrees.
It was Halloween night. And they had opened up the park just for their big Halloween thing. And I was giving a speech there. That's why I was there. And so the staff was like, let's get Starnes on the Log Ride.
What are they called? The Splash Mountain. Is that what it's called? Yes. The Log Ride of Death.
The Splash Mountain. Oh my gosh, it was so horrific. And because you're thinking, oh, this is a nice leisurely, ah! I was gonna say you got the little bunnies and, you know, the little animatronics. I just saw death.
I and death and demons. I saw no bunnies. I hope they took a picture. And then the l so we're the only people on the ride, and because it's like 50 degrees, you're soaking wet. And the attendant was like, Want to do it again?
No, are you nuts? What's wrong with you? I just got baptized again. We'll be right back, America. All right, now new Fox News bowling data out.
Biden is in hot water with Republicans and Democrats. Also, we had oh, the Federalist. We had the executive editor of The Federalist on, Joy Pullman, just a few days ago. And she offered an interesting thought about what's happening with the mainstream media right now because the New York Times finally. Finally, got around to reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop email scandal, which is, folks, I mean, Hunter Biden could be facing.
Criminal charges. I mean, there are criminal activities documented on that laptop. And he could go to jail for a very long time. When you look at the diary of his sister. Which Project Veritas got a hold of, there are some serious allegations surrounding the Biden family involving sex crimes.
And you wonder: okay, where is all of this going? I mean, we all know that Biden and the crime syndicate is a, I mean, it is a bad, bad situation. I mean, at least people aren't dropping dead around the Biden circle, unlike Hillary and Bill Clinton. It's no, just Google. Seriously, Grace, just Google.
You'll see. Yeah. Grace, just Google Vince Foster, and you'll see what we're talking about.
So, anyway, so Joy Pullman on this program just a few days ago suggested that. That maybe this is the turning point. This is the point where the media turns on Biden. We knew, and we've been predicting this was going to happen eventually. We told you that the Democrat Party.
Knows everything there is to know about Joe Biden, and that something is going to happen, and that Biden is not going to be able to finish out his entire term. Yeah. And we've documented this for weeks now on this program. Yeah. But Joy Pullman, writing for the Federalists, says that maybe the New York Times is launching that charge with the admission that yes, this was a real laptop, this was Hunter Biden's laptop, those were Hunter Biden's emails, this was not some sort of a Russia disinformation campaign.
And now when you look at a lot of the reporting out there, especially when it comes to the economy, when it comes to gas prices, by the way, Biden says we're going to be on the verge of a food shortage. And many Of the networks are starting to turn on Biden and his policies. Cut number one, please. With regard to food shortages, yes, we did talk about food shortages. and it's going to be real.
We don't have a food shortage problem. We have a leadership problem. We have plenty of food. All right, that was Joe Biden just last year saying we didn't have a food problem.
So now Biden is saying we got a food problem, we got a food shortage problem. Yeah. But Again, what we didn't ha w w w he's all over the place here. By the way, now we know Biden has been saying that the sanctions were meant to stop the Russians, and now Biden is saying that the sanctions are not meant to stop the Russians, and he's telling anybody who will listen that he did not say what he said in the first place regarding the sanctions. And a lot of people in the mainstream media are calling him out on this, which, look, welcome to the party.
But why are they doing it? Why now? And I think that we're starting to see The move. We're starting to see the play. Yeah.
Is it possible that Biden could be removed from office using the 25th Amendment? I think that more and more every day. I mean, he is just not there. A commander-in-chief with the brain the consistency of cottage cheese, it's just not there.
So, I think it's a very real possibility that we could see. The Cabinet gets together and evoke the 25th Amendment.
Now, the other issue is: what about Kamala Harris? Yeah. Well, maybe the people that are ultimately calling the strings at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue believe they can control her as much as they control Joe Biden. And at that point, you have to wonder: okay, well, who will who's stepping in as the vice president? Who would get that slot?
Well, it's either going to be Hillary Clinton or P. Putaj Edge. That would be my, if I was a betting man, that's where I would go. But don't discount someone like an AOC. Because ultimately it's her policies that are governing the White House right now.
I want to I want to play a sound bite here. And before we get to cut number seven, I want you to hear President Biden, and he's weighing in on the rising cost of gasoline well over $6 a gallon in California, over $4 pretty much the rest of the country. And the argument has been that maybe, just maybe, this is about. Shoving Americans down that path to battery-powered automobiles. Listen to Cut Seven.
This crisis also presents an opportunity. It's a catalyst, a catalyst that will drive the investments we need to double down on our clean energy goals and accelerate progress toward our net zero emissions future. That's what the second part of this initiative is all about. The United States and the European Union are going to work together to take concrete measures to reduce dependence on natural gas, period. Fox News Polling Just out.
An overwhelming majority say rising gas prices are a problem for their family. Over half of voters think inflation is not at all under control. And we're talking Democrats and Republicans here, folks. Two thirds have had to cut back on spending to make ends meet. A growing number say they are falling behind financially.
More than twice as many think the Biden administration has made the economy worse rather than better. Two-thirds disapprove of how Biden is handling inflation, including a sizable minority of Democrats. Biden's overall job rating is upside down by nine points. Forty-five percent approved, fifty-four percent disapproved. Last month it was forty three percent, fifty six percent.
So, where do you stand, ladies and gentlemen? Where do you stand on all of this? You think Biden's going to make it to the full four year term? Or you think the Democrats are going to pull the plug? Because the Democrats.
If they keep this pace up, their party could be obliterated. obliterated In the midterm elections. Oh, that'd be a very nice thing. But obliterate. Yeah.
All right, let's go to the phones here. Patty in South Carolina and listening to us on the KWAM app. And Patty, I understand you're on the way to the Trump rally. Yes, I am. I'm originally from Statesville, North Carolina, but we left last night.
I'm at a friend's house in Florence, South Carolina. You have to see. I know who's headed towards the Georgia. You see trucks going by with I hate to say it, but they got let's go Brandon flags, they got Trump flags on the back. You know who's going to this rally.
Oh, yeah. Patty, are you seeing a lot of traffic on the roads? Oh, a ton of trucks and cars with American flags with Trump flags, let's go Brandon flags. I'm telling you, it these people want to see a real leader talk. I hear we had Senator David, former Senator David Perdue on the show yesterday, and he said that people are already camped out, Patty.
This is amazing. I've been to Trump rallies and I guess people camp out for days. I mean, it doesn't matter if it's raining, how cold. And I mean, people love to hear this guy. It it it rejuvenates people.
They want to hear a real leader. I mean, I watched Biden before. Our troops look like they want to like run out of the room. Patty, you got to do me a favor now. When I get up to give my remarks, you got to cheer real loud and get people around you to cheer too.
Ah Well, please, when you go to a Trump rally, you know. I'm sure you're not going to be afraid. Oh, it's going to be flooded. Oh, because. We're here for He's a leader.
He he he doesn't he doesn't just But you know it's What we have right now is embarrassing. I hate to say it. I I I agree with Lindsay Keith. We should uh we should stand behind our President But it's embarrassing. He's he's he's embarrassing.
Patty, safe travels and have fun tomorrow. And be sure to give us a call back on Monday and let us know what you thought about the rally. Oh, you know, it's going to be great. I love it. Good luck.
And you know what? You'd be safe too. All right. Will do, Patty. Thanks for the call.

Well, this didn't take very long.
So, the White House now walking back President Biden's comment. You can't make this stuff up, folks. And we're you know what, let's play that audio again. This is President Biden just a few moments ago telling the eighty second Airborne, hey, your butts are going to Ukraine. All right, we don't have that audio.
So there we'll get but we've played it over and over again, so you get the gist of it. Anyway, the White House says they are walking back President Biden's comment, and they're saying the President has. No intention of sending troops to Ukraine. All right, let's listen. And you're gonna see when you're there, and so sometimes you've been there, you're gonna see, you're gonna see women, young people stand in standing in the middle of front of a damn tank.
It's just saying I'm not leaving. I'm holding my ground. They're incredible. So the White House now says, and this is a statement to Fox News Channel. I want to read this uh to you.
The White House says Wow, my um Here we go. When asked Friday about the possibility of U. S. troop involvement in Ukraine, the White House insisted its stance remains the same. Quote, the President has been clear we are not sending U.
S. troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position.
Well, that's not what it sounds like to me.
Sounds to me like the President once again misspoke. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment, folks. He's going to get us into a war. I mean, what if Vladimir Putin was listening to that g that gibberish? What if Vladimir Putin said, wait, they're going to do what?
And what if Vladimir Putin decides, well, we better make a preemptive strike? We're going to have to fortify our Liberty University studio for crying out loud. Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen, just unbelievable. Grace Baker, we've got a brag on your big event this weekend. Oh.
It's like the furry race or something? Furry people race? Whoa, whoa, whoa. The fast and the furriest race for the humane society of Memphis. That is not at all what I thought that race was.
Yeah, you and everybody.
So it's not about furry people. No. And it's not about Harry. You run it with your dog.
So, how does this work? It's fast. My dog is the furriest.
So it's a road race. Yes, it's a road race. How many is it? It's like a 5K? It's a 5K.
All right. And does Merlot know that she's going to be exercising tomorrow? She will. She does not know, but she will love it. Any exercise for her is a fun time.
And it's called the fast and the furious. The furious. Oh, I get it now.
So I'm the fast. Merlot's the first. She's the furious. Actually, I'm not very fast. All right.
But she's very fast. And so this helps out the Humane Society. Yes. All right. Well, they do a good job.
Yeah, I like the Humane Society much better than PETA. Oh, yeah. The people for the eating of tasty humans. Yeah. All right.
Well, good stuff. All right. Folks, we told you earlier Herschel Walker, running for the U.S. Senate there in Georgia, was fired by President Biden. Herschel had been on the sports and the President's Sports and Fitness Commission.
Dr. Oz was a member of that, too.
Now, Grace, I. I don't know if you're into the space TV series, but I like Star Wars. I like Star Wars. I don't watch Star Trek, though. No, it's Star Wars.
There's Star Trek. All right, so I like both of them.
Okay. But I'm sort of partial to Star Trek. And there's a new woke version that's on Paramount. Isn't it called like Discovery? Yeah, it's like Star Wars or Star Trek Discovery Yourself.
Star Trek Discover Yourself, you know. It's got every gender known to mankind, except for maybe heterosexuality may not be represented. I also saw they had a special guest on there. Did you see that?
Well, that's what I was getting to.
So they were introducing the president of Earth, and it was none other than Stacey Abrams from Georgia. I'm like, wait, what? Of all the people. Of all the people they had to choose. It's amazing, but the woke crowd is going to destroy the Star Trek franchise.
I mean, that's how bad that show is. And Very few white people in the cast, very few. Not that that's a thing, but it's pretty intentional: that the only white people there are the villains. But all of the heroes, all of the saviors, all of the leaders are either people of color or gay people. in in the Star Trek universe.
I think they're running out of ideas. That's it. I just have like a billion shows and it's so tedious.
So now, and then, and so in the last episode, I thought, you know what? I'm going to make it through this season, and then I'm done. And uh they it ended with the two gay married Star Trek people sort of somewhat pseudo adopting the non-binary gender neutral child who's also on the it's very confusing. Very confusing. Sure, this isn't the new Disney?
Yeah, no. It could be. It's a trans world actor. I've never bought the rights to this. It's just, you know, at some point, you're like, can we not just sit down and enjoy a good movie?
I mean, really. You got to go to the classics. It's sad. And even the classics are being redone. Or remove.
So, this means you need to buy a hard copy and keep it at your house. I'm a big fan of Gone with the Wind. I haven't seen it.
Well, it doesn't have a good ending. No, I'm just kidding. Oh, it doesn't have a good ending. It's sad. It's long.
It is very long, very long. But Gone with the Wind, and, you know, it's a great movie. It's just one of those where if you don't have anything to do on a Saturday and it's cold, rainy, whatever outside, slop it in. You can only watch so many Fast and Furious movies. Also, I have not seen those, and I.
Don't feel like I'm missing out. Lots of cars, lots of scantily clad women. That's what I figured. Guys in extra small T-shirts and car crashes. And that's it.
That's pretty much the fire explosions. Yeah. It's I call it it's so, you know, they've got what God's Not Dead number four now, and I think God Not God's Not Dead five. It's like that's like the fast and furious movies of the Christian genre. I'm just not even going to say anything.
It's going to be God's Not Dead 10. God's still not 10. Where do you draw the line? I'm like, okay, we get it. I think she's a different word for deadlines.
God's not deceased. No, it's a great. God's not buried. It's a great deal. God's not.
It's a great movie, don't get me wrong. I'm just like, okay. God's not lifeless. Oh, Jesus. At least married up a little bit.
It's like the O'Reilly things. Who are you going to kill in your next book? Right? Killing Reagan, killing Lincoln. Killing novels.
I don't. I don't know. Killing brain cells. Killing brain cells. All right.
Got to get out of here. Thanks to Grace and Dylan today, Phillip in for Kyle. He's out in Florida, Florida. Folks, you get out there. Have a great Friday.
Be sure to go to church this weekend. Lord knows I need to.
