YouTube Bans Todd Starnes Show Over Biden "Misinformation”

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

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American ride on storms. All right.

Well, hello, everybody. Good to have you with us today. Just a note about the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land. Clearly, none of those people that are currently sitting on the bench have ever run a business. They have never been responsible for employees.

They have never been threatened by the federal government with all sorts of heinous fines. And I say that because the Supreme Court issued a flurry of decisions earlier today. They have yet to weigh in on the OSHA Biden administration mandate, the mandate that would result in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for any business that does not ensure that employees are vaccinated. And it is a It is a big, big Problem. I don't know why they have yet to announce their decision.

And this is, look, this is a big deal. Lives are in the balance, livelihoods are in the balance, and yet the Supreme Court seems to be waffling on this. We don't know what's going on.

Now, traditionally, when the Supreme Court, and this is sort of a little bit of a behind the scenes at the Supreme Court, but typically, whenever there are oral arguments, immediately afterwards, the justices will get together. And they'll decide the case right then and there.

So it's day of. And then they spend all this time writing the opinions and the dissents, and that takes a while. But for an emergency order like this, you would think that this would be the most pressing issue of the day because it is, ladies and gentlemen. It is the most pressing issue of the day. And yet the Supreme Court, for whatever reason, has decided this is not a big deal to them, and they will take their time.

Meanwhile, you have a lot of businesses around the country that I mean, the rule is already in place.

So you have a lot of businesses that are already having to make those hard decisions and workers who are already having to make those hard decisions as well. Do you get the vaccine? Do you get the jab just to stay employed? What do you do? 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. We really did expect for the ruling to come down this morning around 10 o'clock Eastern time, and everybody was waiting on that.

So we will have to continue to wait. It could come down any moment. We just don't know when, but we would have expected it to come down almost. Immediately. By the way, speaking of mandates, there's a crazy story out of California, Los Angeles Unified School District.

We've got the video up on our website, ToddStarnes.com. Folks, you're not going to believe this, but the schools out in Los Angeles, they're actually coercing the kids to get the vaccine, and they're telling the kids, do not tell your parents. You don't need your parental, you don't need a parental permission slip, you don't need to get their consent, but you've got to get vaccinated.

Well, one lady said, yeah, that's not going to happen. It turns out her daughter called as soon as so the principal calls her in. They're actually shaming the kids.

So they're calling out kids in the classroom who have not been vaccinated. Mm-hmm. They are also They're bribing students in Los Angeles Unified School District. They're bribing the kids with free pizza. Yeah.

I mean, it's really super creepy. These people are like idolo predators. Yeah. Driving around the school in a white van saying, Hey, kid, want a slice of pizza? Roll up your sleeve, and I'll give you a slice.

I mean, that's what they're doing. Roll up the sleeve, get a jab from the nurse. Here's your pepperoni.

So, this woman was talking to El American, which is a great publication out on the West Coast. Here's what she had to say: cut number six, please. My name is Cecilia, and the reason why I'm here is because I have two daughters that are within a USD district, and I want to apply for them and for the mandates so that they don't force out vaccines to my daughters. And so you have children in school right now, correct? I do.

I have two, an eighth grader and a second grader. And have the school tried to reach you as far as getting your kids vaccinated? Yes, I actually received two phone calls.

Well, three from school, two from staff members, and the last one I received was from the principal, trying to hear from my own words the reason why I didn't want my daughter to get vaccinated. Did you feel like there was pressure there to vaccinate your child? Definitely. Schools are pressuring so much. In my school and in my case, I am not only receiving pressure, but also my daughter is from school.

She got pointed out once because she was not vaccinated. And she was also approached by the principal so she can get the vaccine without my concern. Pretty much saying you can get vaccinated without your parents knowing and that's going to be okay. What did your daughter say when the principal told her this? She explained the recent.

We have a very open communication, so she explained that she didn't want to get it and that she was not going to get it. And that if he had any other questions, she'll talk to me. Good for you, Cecilia. Good for you. That is a good mom right there, ladies and gentlemen.

She's clearly raised her daughter right. They have a great, open, transparent relationship. And the daughter was raised to know this. When the school is telling you to do one thing and your mom or your dad are telling you to do something else, you obey your mom and dad. And if the school is telling you to keep something quiet from your parents, you pick up the phone and you call us first.

And I say, good for you, Cecilia, from Los Angeles. California. Good for you, ma'am. Yeah. So, meanwhile, President Biden just a few moments ago actually announced to the nation that he wants a crackdown on free speech.

We're going to play this audio in just a moment here. But the President of the United States going on national television just a few moments ago and saying he wants social media platforms, he wants the TV networks to start cracking down on what he calls COVID misinformation. Let's take a listen. Unfortunately, they are stepping up, as they always do. There are others sitting on the sidelines, and we're standing in the way.

If you haven't gotten vaccinated, do it. Personal choice. impacts us all. our hospitals, our countries. I make a special appeal to social media companies and media outlets.

Please deal with the misinformation and disinformation that's on your shows. It has to stop. COVID-19 is one of the most formidable enemies America has ever faced. We've got to work together, not against each other.

So, Biden wants any information that runs contrary to what. Anthony Fauci is telling us, the patron saint of Wuhan, he wants that censored, he wants that removed from platforms. And that's why you're seeing people like Joe Rogan, you're seeing doctors, nurses, medical professionals who are trying to get information out there so that we can at least know the other side of the story. That's why those people are being censored and removed at this very moment from social media platforms.

Now, that brings me to an issue that has now impacted our program.

So we got notification from YouTube. that yesterday's program has been banned. and that moving forward, if we have another strike against us, we will be completely removed from the YouTube platform. And they accused us of spreading COVID and Biden misinformation. And YouTube pulled yesterday's program off the air.

Unbelievable. This is what they do, folks. And, you know, we, every single day, I encourage you to go to the website, to download our podcast, to subscribe to our free newsletter. We don't make it, look, we're not asking for a single penny from you. You know, there are a lot of talk radio hosts out there.

They ask you for money. We don't do that here. We go out there, we have sponsors, we have advertisers, and they put the bill.

So, when we provide something new, we do that because we want to. Look, I get it, everybody's asking for money. And you've only got so much money to go around.

So, we want to provide these resources, and the reason why is because of what just happened over on. YouTube I remember something that Rush Limbaugh said. And I'll I'll A lot of people Have laughed at this and they've dismissed this, but it's great advice from Rush Limbaugh. And Rush said, And he was asked about why he's not big on all these other big social media platforms at the time. And he said the answer is very simple.

Why would we base our business model on something that we can't control? And it is a great point, which is why we are doing our best to bring everything we do in onto ToddStarnes.com because they can't censor us there. They can't censor you there. They just can't do it. And it's unfortunate.

I know that we have a lot of listeners over on YouTube. That's why we started the Rumble channel so you can watch us there, rumble.com/slash Todd Starnes. But, folks, this is a real thing. The censorship is real. They will try to silence, and they've been very effective at it.

Very effective. And they will try to silence you. And look, we appreciate the opportunity to be on those platforms, no doubt about it. But they don't believe in free speech. And when the Republicans get control of Congress, and I want to say this right now.

Uh When the Republicans take back control of the House and the Senate, and if they do not crack down on social media, I will never vote for a Republican again. Period. I want to say that again because I'm sure one of those overweight, pimply-faced guys sitting in his mother's basement with the greasy hair and the Cheeto-stained fingers listening to this program for Media Matters, I want to make sure they heard me loud and clear. If the Republicans take back control of the House and Senate in the fall and they do not crack down on big tech, that will be the last time I ever vote or support the Republican Party again. If the Republican Party cannot stand up and defend the United States Constitution, they don't deserve my vote and they don't deserve your vote.

But again, that's an issue that you and the Republican Party will have to work out. I've already worked that out in my mind.

Okay. They had the opportunity during the Trump administration, and Paul Ryan took a pass. They took a pass. They've had opportunities, and they have refused those opportunities. And so they've got one more shot with me, one more shot.

And I'm out. And I'm curious to know if any of you feel the same way. 844-747-8868, toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show.

All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. Look, I feel bad. I know a lot of people like to watch the show on YouTube, but it's not our fault. This is, you know, we're beholden to these people over there.

You can still watch the live show over at rumble.com/slash Todd Starnes. You can also watch it on our Facebook live stream. Let's go to the phones here: 844-747-8868. Cleveland, Georgia, Jim listening to us on WDUN. Hi, Jim.

What's on your mind today? Mr. Todd. The man. He picked up the garbage.

From the gold microphone, now he's running with a silver microphone. You are the king now.

Well, thank you, I guess. That's a lot of responsibility, Jim. But uh every time everybody talks about you know, in the fall, in the fall, I think the Democrats still have another uh Ace up their sleeve, and I think they're going to have Antifa and the terrorists and the illegals. all get on some kind of Soapbox and start screaming and yelling like they usually do. And in September or so, and I think in October, I think you'll real shut down the country.

Is that right?

So, Jim, you don't believe there's going to be an election in the fall? I think they'll stop it somehow. I've seen how the FBI toted in all those buses at the White House. j last january sixth.

So They got stuff up their sleeve they can do. You know, it's interesting you say that, Jim. There are a lot of reports on social media that they're building some sort of a wall, some sort of a structure on the White House lawn. People have been sending me these pictures all morning. I've reached out to James Rosen, the Newsmax White House correspondent.

We're going to get to the bottom of it. But it does make you wonder what's going on because the Democrats know they're about to be. I mean, if the election is truly fair and there's no stealing and the dead people don't vote, Democrats are going to be slaughtered. In the midterm elections. They'll start some stink up.

All right, Jim, we will see, and you have been the first to predict it. Jim, ladies and gentlemen, from Cleveland, Georgia, says, hey, look, there's probably not even going to be an election in the fall. 844-747-8868 is our number. Let's go to North Carolina, Mario, on WSIC. Hi, Mario.

What's up? Hello, nice to see you. Thank you for taking my call. came to this country from Eastern Europe and I see that dictatorships of communists is worse than when I left my country. And I agree completely with you that Republicas have And these those repo vehicles are the reason we are in the big mess right now.

And If they fail us again, I'm work for the third party and we have to do it. This only only solution.

Now the previous colour is so saying about election There will be election, but election will be like Joseph Stal Stalin was saying, not important who votes, important who counts the vote. And they will always win election the same like they were doing in the country when I was. The election was, but the people who Uh where winning the election, the people were already decided by dictators.

Now, Mario, let me jump in here. What part of Eastern Europe did you come from? Because that is not a North Carolina accent. You're absolutely correct, sir. Yes.

Yes, I'm from Poland. Poland. Wow.

Well, I have to tell you, Mario, I have been so impressed with the Polish government of late. I mean, they have been behaving, quite frankly, like Americans used to behave. Yes, they they have some opposition and some many useful idiots on the streets, but like everywhere in Europe. That well, that is that's fascinating. And Mario, when you I mean, was there a moment when you said in your mind, you're watching all the news of the day, was there a moment when you said, holy cow, this is what happened back during the Soviet era, back in Eastern Europe?

Oh, that moment was long ago when I was working in one place and they start people were coming and preaching to the workers about teamwork. And I already had a bad feeling about that, and I figured out this is just not going to work because when you start putting the teamwork and individual responsibility to whole team and everybody has to work for somebody else we take That's not the right thing. And They were doing that slowly with every business, and they start doing it and preaching You know, all we have to be united, united, but only in the way they want it to be. If you don't agree with them, you are an enemy, and you know what's happened. Mario, we are blessed to count you as a fellow citizen.

We're so glad you're here in America. God bless you. And, folks, I hope you pay heed to people like Mario. They escaped that nonsense and came to America, and now they're starting to see the warning signs. We've got to pay attention.

Let's wake up, America. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free number. That's 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stars Radio Show.

You know, if you're like me, it seems like winter always puts an extra strain on your immune system, and that that's why I rely on Immuno 150. Did you know that most foods contain no more than 15 minerals? That's it. And it's because of a lack of minerals in today's topsoil. But Immuno 150 was formulated specifically with 70 plant minerals along with 80 other nutrients designed to improve your health.

Look, let me just read the label for a second here. All right, it's got vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, chromium, 150 in all. Over the past two years, we've all been concerned about building a strong immune system. And that's why I'm such a big fan of Immuno 150. It helps me fight against all sorts of sickness.

So supercharge your health with Immuno 150. Go to immuno150.com/slash Todd, or you can call 888-306-8855. That's 888-306-8855. And that website again, immuno150.com/slash Todd. All right, welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Program.

Good to have you with us. Yesterday on the program, we were talking about this crazy story out of California where a very large church, their preschool, has been shut down by the state of California. The preschool director has been told she will never, ever be allowed to work with the preschoolers forever because she refused to make sure that two-year-olds were wearing a mask.

Well, our good friends over at Pacific Justice Institute are now representing the church. You heard from the pastor yesterday. Today on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good friend, the founder of Pacific Justice Institute, Brad Dakis. Brad, good to have you with us today. Oh, great man.

I appreciate it, Todd. Hey, Brad, I have to tell you.

So, we're having the conversation, and the pastor, I said, Do you have legal representation? Because I was ready to give him your contact info. He says, Yeah. He goes, Do you know this guy named Brad Dakis? And I'm like, Do I know Brad Dakis?

I know Brad Vacus.

So, anyway, we were so glad that they had reached out to you guys. Brad, I want you to tell our listeners what's going on there down in Southern California. Yeah. This is uh really outrageous. This the church, you know, has a preschool.

uh you know dealing with you know yo you know young children And uh the we're dealing here with uh a municipality that's requiring them uh to have all the children Wear a mask. all day, all the time. And the the church says, well, Yeah, no, this is not this is not a Should not be uh A limitation put upon parents. Parents should be able to make that decision if they want their child to wear a mask. Um So they shut him down.

Uh they the county they they just ap they just sh shut down This the preschool Um They contacted us, and we at the Pacific Justice Institute were a defending. In fact, there's a hearing. uh to uh later on to uh today, like uh this evening. our Chief Counsel, Kevin Snyder. is working as we speak.

right now preparing for that hearing. And hopefully we'll we'll see justice and hopefully The state will be have their hands slapped. I think it's yet again another reminder of what happens when you allow Democrats to control every branch of government by supermajorities. I mean, there's really not much recourse for folks other than going to Pacific Justice Institute and your great team of attorneys. Yeah, you know, we have another case uh deal uh in Florida out of our Mi Miami office.

Well we're defending Parents against the Palm Beach School District. Because Florida as a state, because of the Governor DeSantis, has announced that parents have the final decision whether or not their child wears a mask.

Well, this Palm Beach School District says, no, we're going rogue. We're going to ignore state law, ignore the Parents' Bill of Rights. And we're going to require every child to wear a mask all the time, whether the parents like it or not, no matter what. We filed a lawsuit on behalf of some very angry parents there. in the Palm Beach School District through our Miami office.

So we're taking these things, these cases all across the country, coast to coast, As you know, Todd, we now have offices in 16 states, 20 offices in 16 states. from Miami up to Boston to Seattle down to Orange County and Many, many places in between. And if people need assistance, they should not hesitate to contact us. Or go to our website, pj i Yeah. And Brad, we've got a direct link to your page on our live show blog.

So, folks, if that's easier for you, you can check that information out there. Brad, I mean, going back to the California situation there at Foothills Christian Church, do parents have rights? I mean, are little kids, two-year-olds, supposed to mask up at preschool? Yeah. Um the problem in California is There are these public health officers That are not elected by the people.

They're appointed by the state, and the state Yeah.

So they have these public health officers pronounce different things, pronounce different rules. Um that are not Based upon a court determination, not based upon a legislative act, but based upon their whims. And that's what we're facing here in San Diego County is we're dealing with a public health officer who has pronounced and decided. But this is what's necessary for the health and safety of children. Um even though this is contrary, to medical determinations.

And in fact, is beyond it. We have another school district. that is uh deciding it's I think it's Santa Barbara. That we're dealing with, where they're saying that children have to wear masks outside even during TE. This goes against the Center for Disease Control.

So they cannot the bottom line is They cannot be just have unilateral authority to do that, which has no rational basis or substantiation. And that's one of our arguments in this matter with uh this um defending this this uh private Christian church-based preschool. Brad, we were hoping that the Supreme Court would have issued their ruling. I think everybody was expecting them to issue the ruling on the Biden-OSHA mandate. That did not happen.

I mean, you're an attorney, you're familiar with these kinds of things. Were you surprised as well? Was that unusual?

Well, yeah, frankly, I I expected it on Monday. And the fact it's not turning down yet is a little concerning. I'm concerned that it may not be as cut and dry as we'd like. as the the Supreme Court may as a part of his decision, they may decide to Say, okay, the federal government, the federal OSHA, you can't issue these mandates. because this is a matter of states' rights.

And if they do that, That's great for people living in free state, like Texas and Florida. The people who live in oppressive states like California will be very vulnerable to and subject to these kind of mandates and restrictions. by their state governments and state OSHA.

So And um we'll have to wait until I'm still optimistic that we're going to see a decision come down. Very soon, if not today. Then I'm hopeful that we'll see it tomorrow. All right, Brad Dacas on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. I'm getting a little spotty there with the folks, but I think we're going to be able to continue.

Brad, another story we wanted to bring to your attention. This is out of Moline, Illinois. The parents said it would be a cold day in hell before their local grade school would launch a Satan club. It turns out it was six degrees last night. And, Brad, there is, in fact, a Satan club.

It's called the After School Satan Club at one of the elementary schools there in Moline, Illinois. The school district compared it to a good news club for Christian kids. And I wonder: do the parents have any recourse here? Yeah, it's interesting. Parents do have recourse, what we encourage.

school districts to do Actually, in these situations, is to adopt policies. We've help school districts adopt policies. requiring written parental consent, for child participation in a at a scho a school club or after school. uh club activity Um that is taken care of in the past. In California, we've seen Some really very quite very highly questionable kind of quote clubs.

And that usually takes care of it. The real purpose for these quote stating clubs. is actually to get parents to say, okay, get rid of all clubs. Um you know, and it's really just a a cheap attempt to get rid of Christian clubs. often these people starting these statement clubs don't really even believe in stating.

That's often atheists who are trying to intimidate parents so that parents will get rid of their Christian club or club of faith.

So I encourage parents not to fall into that trap. Instead, take the parents' rights perspective to higher ground and encourage policies requiring written prior consent. And that's what we think is a very smart way to go. You see, I think that's a brilliant way. This is why we have you on the show, Brad, because you've got all the answers.

So, this is very helpful. All right.

I've got a great team. I've got a great team of attorneys. You do indeed. And, Brad, we always appreciate you coming on the program. Thanks for fighting the good fight, not just in the Pacific Northwest, but really all over America.

And, folks, again, you can find the links to Pacific Justice Institute on our live show blog. Brad, we've got to leave it there. Thanks again. Thank you, Todd. Appreciate the opportunity.

All right, Brad Dacas, everybody. Can you believe that? This is the school in Moline, Illinois. And the school district said, well, if the boys and girls can have a club to worship Jesus, they should be able to have a club. Satan.

And I am not making this up. And the shocking thing here: the number of people who are actually supportive of this. And as you heard Brad Dakis say, the quick fix here, first of all, moms, dads, make sure your kid is not going to, you know, sing worship songs to the Prince of Darkness. But ultimately, this is about parental consent. And this goes back to something we were talking about with the LA Unified School District, bribing the kids with pizza to get the China virus jab.

Yeah. So there you go. We've got the story up on ToddSterns.com, and you can see a lot of the responses from moms and dads, pro and con. But would you support a Satan club in your local elementary school? Can you imagine?

Yeah. Oh my goodness. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

Senator Bill Haggerty coming up a little bit later. Also, are you a big fan of Skillet? I love Skillet. No, the band. I like the cooking wear too.

But the band, Skillet, John Cooper, is going to be here. They've got a brand new album out, and we're going to be talking with John about all sorts of crazy stuff. That's going to be a great conversation. All right, let's go to the phones here: 844-747-8868. Webb hanging out with us on WLOB in the great state of Maine.

Webb, what's on your mind?

Okay, Todd. First of all, thank you for taking my call. Second of all, Um what the well, we have two parties, the Communist Party and the Fecklist Party. And right now, Barack Obama was a community organizer And that should tell us something. What we should do is everybody who's being disenfranchised by having to get this vaccine Should get on a network and get to know each other so that the military, all these people, so there's a block of people.

that are organized and put together already in case any problem arises.

Well, yeah, I think that's a good idea. Webb, the challenge is everybody is sort of looking out for their own interest. And the reality is, and all I can speak of is what I know about in the conservative talk radio world. There are a lot of people out there that are just getting a paycheck to be a conservative. And I guess some people call them grifters.

I'm not interested in naming names. I think our listeners are smart enough to figure out who's legit and who's not. And the challenge there, Webb, is you've got people that are just as power hungry within the conservative world as the people who run the YouTubes and the Googles and the Facebook and the Twitter accounts. Yes, but with the communist bunch, if they get in, that's it, nobody else gets in. Oh, you're right.

As far as the Christian community, I think they need a new bunch of Templars. The soldiers of the church? You think so? Webb, I am so disgusted with evangelical Christian leaders. I mean, there are some good guys out there like our friend Dr.

Robert Jeffers and Franklin Graham and John MacArthur, but the rest of them are a bunch of snakes.

Well, they're taking money from the government who's taking money from China.

So it's hard to break the money chain. But the thing is, it's not just evangelists. It's it the it's Catholics, it's Jews, it's all the people who stand to be totally disenfranchised, disenfranchised, if this crowd gets their way. Yeah, no, I hear you. I hear you, Webb, and it's a good thought.

Thank you for the call, sir.

So, Webb says, hey, look, we need some Templars.

So, I don't disagree. I just think we all need to have a come to Jesus minute.

So, all right, thank you for the call. Grace, I need to ask you: you're the official woman, the resident woman on the show. Need to ask you: don't misgender me. No, I'm not misgendering me. That's my pronouns.

No, I'm sorry. We want to share your pronouns with the audience. She, her. All right, thank you for praise. I feel much better.

Well, I think we all assume that to be the case. You shouldn't have. Never assume, Todd. Never assume. I want you to.

So there is a big problem in South Haven, Mississippi.

So we've got a lot of listeners in South Haven, Mississippi on our flagship station, KWAM.

So the middle school there, they sent out this. This email to female students about. Having some things available for the female students, something called shapewear. Ah, yes. The spanks.

Is that what it is? Basically. The spanks. All right.

So they're offering the girls bras and spanks. This is according to an email that went out from South Haven Middle School. And apparently some parents, I don't know, are very upset about this. And they say that basically young girls, when they're reading this, would possibly be body shamed. Yeah, why I don't okay, if they're offering like quote-unquote like necessities, browser, yes, a necessity.

But Spanks, that's not a necessity. That is kind of stupid.

So they're saying, so the email that was attached, so this is making national news. National news. Middle school students in Mississippi offered shapewear in body image discussion. And they're so some of the sizes, we're actually sent the thing here. And the sizes, and we're talking about what, middle school girls?

So, what is that, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade? Is that all right?

So, they come in small, medium, large. Extra large. double X large and then triple X large. Quite the range. Quite indeed.

That's all well. All right.

I'm just, no, I'm going to get in trouble. I'm not going to say anything about that. But what I will say is: why is it that this is a big controversy? It seems to me like if girls are, they're pretty self-conscious. Our girls are pretty self-conscious that age.

Especially at that age. Yeah. So it seems to me the guidance counselors were just trying to be helpful. Mm. I dunno.

I think the shapewear thing's weird. I think that's ver I think that goes into almost like I think it's kind of sexualizing young girls. Ashley Hewen is one of the aghast moms, and she said she was aghast, so that's why we can say she's aghast. She says, This is what was sent home with my eighth-grade daughter. I am beyond pissed, though I'm not sure if I'm more pissed at the fact they had the balls to send this home or the very ignorance of the counselors at the school.

So there you go. Apparently, it's a big issue. And I don't know one way or the other. I don't have a kid there, but I'm wondering whose money is being used to buy all this stuff. Yeah, stuff ain't cheap.

And do little girls and I'm sorry, but do little girls really need spanks? No. They don't. I don't own any. Unbelievable.

There's a place for it, but that is weird. It's like a tummy tuck. That's what it is.

So your 13-year-old does not need a tummy tuck. No, they don't. They need to go out, exercise. Exercising. Yeah.

Run around the block a time or two. All right.

There you go.

South Haven, Mississippi. Curious to know what you folks think about that story. 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

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

Welcome to the Tot Starns Radio Show. Good to have you with us today. Hope things are going well wherever you might be across the country. 844-747-8868 is our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-7474.

747-8868.

So apparently, there's a huge story. I've gotten at least eight text messages from people freaking out over this story from across the big pond.

So here's the headline, and we've got the story up at ToddSterns.com. Queen Elizabeth has laid down the law, and she's now announced that Prince Andrew will no longer be able to use His Royal Highness as his title. And we'll return. To being a private citizen. This is according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

On Twitter. She's also agreed to remove his military affiliations and his royal patronages.

Okay. I'm not sure why this is a big deal on this side of the big pond. I really don't. We fought a war, so we didn't have to talk about stuff like this, right? Right?

But apparently, a lot of people here in this country love the queen and they love all the drama and the fact that people are. You know, it's interesting about the royal family. When you look at the family tree. Not too many branches on that tree. I don't know why, but you know, they kind of marrying the cousins and the whatnot.

So, anyway, there you go. We've got the story on our website. If you want to check that out for all of you folks who are into British royalty, all right. We've got a story here locally in the Memphis area that I've got to get to. And Grace Baker, I know we were talking about this in the break.

So here's the deal. And I want to get you to weigh in on this because you're not too far removed from, you know. public education. And this is a big story. Yes.

A lot of people turned out at the school board meeting in Lakeland, Tennessee, regarding the creation of an LGBTQ club.

So, you know, I mean, back when I was in school, and this was back in, I was in junior high school in the 1980s, and I remember they had all sorts of clubs. Yeah. The cool club, believe it or not, the cool club was the math club, which had nothing to do with math and everything to do with parties. But that's, you know, there was a cool teacher, Mrs. Cupid, who I still keep up with, by the way.

We had dinner with them a couple of years ago down in New Orleans, down in the French Quarter. But anyway, it was the cool club on campus. I was a member of the Spanish club.

So everybody has the, you know, the clubs. Looks good, you know, for college applications. Looks good on the college app, you know, school newspaper, that kind of stuff. And we didn't have any of this kind of stuff, these sex clubs. On our campus.

And that's basically what they are. I mean, these are clubs designed around your sexual orientation. And so this is a fairly new phenomenon that is impacting our school campuses. But we're not talking about a high school here. We're talking about Lakeland Preparatory School.

It's a middle school, but it's kind of weird how they did it. It's grades five through, what, eight?

So fifth grade through eighth grade, you're in that school. But they're not allowing the fifth graders to join the gay club. I think it's sixth grade through eighth is what they're looking at. Still middle schoolers. It's still middle schoolers.

Right, exactly. And so what people may not understand here locally, we did a little bit of research on this, Grace. And it turns out that a lot of the national gay rights organizations have targeted Lakeland Middle School. They're actually targeting this school, and they're sending activists. They had a big, huge meeting at City Hall.

This week, and they're sending in these activists from all over America to convince the school board that they have a constitutional obligation to start a gay sex club for middle schoolers. Yeah, I d my biggest issue is that it's middle schoolers. I mean, when you're in college, look. There's all kinds of clubs. I mean, good.

Weird, just bad, whatever. There's all kinds of clubs, and you know what? They are allowed to do that. If they follow all the rules and the requirements, you can have. A gay club in college, and I really don't have a problem with that.

High school, you're getting a little dicey. But okay, maybe high school. But it's like middle schoolers having any kind of a sex or gender club. I mean, I don't want a dating 101 club for straight kids. That's not, I don't want that either because that's just weird.

Like they're in a very precarious time, that middle school age when they're easily influenced and they don't know what the heck they want yet.

So that's just weird. And look, that's a fair point here. It's not about gay or it's about sex, period. Why do you need clubs that are about that? Whether it's straight, gay, whatever.

And isn't it the students leading the students? Like.

So, this is the crazy part about it. Yes. So, teachers, according to whatever rule or regulation, teachers are not allowed to actually supervise the gay straight club. That's even weirder. No, it's not a straight club, it's just the gay club.

It's the LGBTQ club. They use observers, and these could be. Older students, high school students. But still, students. It's very weird and it's very sketchy.

I mean, it's like, you know, going along that route, it's like, well, I can make a club about. I don't know. I'm gonna have a dog lovers club in middle school, but it has nothing to do with dogs. We just sit there and play board games. Yeah.

You know what I mean? We could do whatever we wanted.

So we could say we're going to have a math club, but we just sit there, like you said, and go party or whatever. It doesn't matter.

So they want to call it something else. They want to call it like a gay straight alliance club. I don't know what they're calling it. But it's very strange.

So, you're right, though. We all know what's going on in the class. We all know what's going on in the club. There are things in my head that I'm not going to say out loud, but whether that was a straight club, if any kind of a gender sex club. I don't even want to know.

It's like, why are the lights off in that room and who's playing Lady Kaga? Was that stereotypical? It may have been. My apologies. But anyway, this has been going on for a while now.

So, about a month ago, this is from LGBTQNation.com. I'm telling you, this is a national story. And the local folks are just now starting to get it, but this has been going on for a month.

So, this is all part of an effort to target kids. I mean, that's what it is. No, it is. It is.

So, it turns out that the teacher who is sponsoring, I want you to take a wild guess. Which teacher in the school, Grace, is sponsoring and leading the charge to get the gay club on campus. Take a wild guess what teacher it is. I'm going to guess something in the arts. You're very warm.

Either. I'm going to say the drama teacher. You are absolutely correct. It's always the drama teacher. The drama teacher, just again, anyone in the arts.

So, anyway, I'm reading from the LGBTQ Nation. Earlier this year, students formed a gay straight club, but it's really not about, it's something else now. At Lakeland Middle Preparatory School, sometimes called a gender sexuality alliance. Oh, my gosh. It's a student club that provides a safe space for LGBTQ students to learn about who they are.

and a break from the anti-LGBTQ bullying that is rampant in schools.

Okay, well maybe you go to counseling for that. To an adult. Not peers sitting around. Probably gossiping. Right.

Or trying to figure out, you know, again, this is all about indoctrinating your kids. You're a middle schooler. You don't know what the heck you want. One parent said, where do we draw the line? This parent threatened to remove his three children from the school district because of a club, no one, and according, this is the writing of the LGBT group, threatening to remove his kids from the district.

He said it was inexcusable for children to learn about sexuality at that age. I agree. Another parent said the club will indoctrinate her kids. Yeah. She says, quote, it's going to be advertised in emails over the intercom system, posters in the halls trying to bait 10, 11, 12-year-old kids into their club meetings.

It's like, hey, we're having a pizza party. Come on over. And it works for, look, it works for the China virus jab.

So you wonder what.

Okay, can't go down there anyway. Can't go down that path. I'm just saying. You wonder. It's easy.

I mean, they're kids. They don't know. No, they don't know. They don't know. And these are issues that should be handled at home, not a club that has no parental or adult supervision.

Exactly. And again, they're middle schoolers. We could have a discussion in high school, I guess, and definitely in college.

So the school board says they don't have a choice. They're in Lakeland, Tennessee. They don't have a choice. By the way, I'm curious. I'd love to hear from our, we have a lot of listeners in Lakeland.

844-747-8868. That's our number. 844-747-8868. And for that matter, ladies and gentlemen, nationwide, should these LGBT clubs or heterosexual sex clubs be allowed in public schools? And I think it's important for us to include the heterosexual side as well.

I just, I mean, we're talking about middle school here. And by the way, all these school districts are financially. They're strapped anyway, and they don't have any money.

So, why do they have money? How do they find the money for these clubs? Things got much uglier at a board meeting. This was four weeks ago, after the teacher who sponsored the The Gay Sexuality Alliance, a drama teacher, was accused of being a predator. I'm not going to mention the teacher's name here.

They mentioned the teacher's name in this LGBTQ Nation report. She's a she, the drama teacher. The accusation stemmed from a TikTok video that showed the drama teacher talking to a student in a parked car. Wait, what? Yeah.

Can you do that? Parents told the school board at the meeting, at a recent meeting, that it was disturbing. The video has been deleted. The Lakeland Currents reporter Matt Wright said it's unclear what the video actually showed, despite it being a central topic of discussion at the meeting. a woman who identified herself as the grandmother of the student, In the video, spoke at the meeting.

The drama teacher, she is not a predator, she's just a friend. She said that her granddaughter is queer. and wants to attend the gender sexuality meetings. One parent said, It's not appropriate. She says kids who have sexual issues should be talking to counselors or professionals.

Not tenth graders. Is that such a bad thing? That seems to me to be a pretty common sense approach here, but clearly I'm in the minority. Unbelievable. The School Board's attorney.

Says the legal issue is simple. Either all noncurricular clubs are allowed or none of them are allowed. In other words, you better let the kids get together for the Gender Sexuality Alliance, or you're going to have to ban all the Christian clubs like the FCA. That's what they're saying in Lakeland, Tennessee. Unbelievable.

But this is happening well within the Bible Belt. This is not Berkeley, California. It's not Brooklyn, New York. This is Lakeland, Tennessee, a very conservative area, by the way. And the ACLU is involved in this.

All these gay rights organizations are involved in this. And they are hell-bent, hell bent on getting a gender sexuality club on campus. Yeah. And if you were, look, if I was a parent, I had a child at the school, first of all, there needs to be some sort of a permission slip. But you know how kids are.

I mean, come on. You think they're gonna you really think not having a permission slip is gonna keep 'em from going to a to a club? Also you could just forge it. That's true. You could get the tenth or eleventh grader who's in charge of the thing.

Exactly. But it's very weird. It's interesting that that's the only club that does not need adult supervision. And it does make you wonder what the heck is going on over there in Lakeland, Tennessee. I'm just remembering the song.

It's so important, Grace. We remember the song, right? Oh, it haunts us. Oh, we got to play the song because they're telling us what's going on. Again, here's the song.

We'll convert your children.

Someone's got to teach them not to hate the Lord. We're coming for that. We're coming. For your check. We're coming forth, we're coming forth, we're coming.

Lord will be sure. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful harmonies of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus announcing and just explaining in very, I will say the harmonies are very tight and the singing is very good. Much better than me. Very good. It's a nice tune, but they're very honest about this.

This is what's happening, and this is exactly what's happening in Lakeland, Tennessee. And you better wake up, ladies and gentlemen. I don't care if you live in Lakeland, Tennessee, or Portland, Maine, or Salem, Oregon. You better pay attention because as we go to break, and we'll again remind you of what the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir said. They're coming for your children.

844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starn Show. Coming for your chair. About to back up and bring it. It's Todd Starns.

All right, folks, good to have you back with us. 844-747-8868. That's our telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. By the way, Kamala Harris was given an opportunity today.

That's the vice president. You know why I say that, Grace? And I don't mean that to be condescending. But according to Kamala Harris, all of the white people in America are racist, at least the ones who don't support her. And therefore, they may not know that she is the vice president.

This is true.

So I'm doing this to really help educate the Caucasian audience members that we have. That's all we're doing here is educating people.

So, anyway, Kamala Harris was given the opportunity to put to bed, oh, that's a poor choice of words when it comes to Kamala Harris, put to bed the rumors that are out there suggesting that Joe Biden will not run for reelection. But if he does run for reelection, that she may not be on the ticket.

So, here's how all that went down. Are we going to see the same Democratic ticket in 2024? No. I'm sorry, we are thinking about today. I mean, honestly, I know why you're asking the question because this is part of the punditry and the gossip around places like Washington, D.C.

Let me just tell you something. We're focused on the things in front of us. We're focused on what we need to do to address issues like affordable child care, what we need to do to ensure that.

So there have been no conversations about 2024. The American people sent us here to do a job. And right now, there's a lot of work to be done, and that's my focus. That sounds very good sincerely. You're at least familiar with some of the punditry.

I don't know if you've heard that there's been some talk about a Biden-Sheeney ticket perhaps in 2024. Did you read that article? I did not. Oh, golly. Wow, that guy, I'm surprised that he's still alive.

Ah, to be honest. By the way, it's not just Biden Cheney.

Now there's talk about having a Clinton-Cheney ticket. Yeah. But I mean, it's possible, but I incredibly doubtful. Liz Cheney is Liz Cheney's conservative.

So she's off the reservation, but she is still conservative. Basically, though, you said Clinton and Cheney, you'd have like the two most unlikable women on each side of the aisle. Yeah, pretty much. It's terrible. What an ugly ticket in more ways than one.

And I'm a woman. All right, I was about to say, you can say that as a woman. I'm not likable. Very likable. Put it that way.

Yeah. All right.

Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney. Oh, goodness. Got a little in the throat here. Oh, goodness. All right, 844-747-8868.

That is our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starn Show. All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Search Radio Show.

So glad to have you hanging out with us. Today, 844-747-8868 is our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. By the way, now on 117 radio stations around the nation, so we appreciate all of our great supporters out there. Barry, I am so glad that we have Senator Bill Haggerty on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.

Now, Senator, I hope this is not inappropriate because I'm a constituent of yours and I need to bring an issue to your attention.

So, normally I would call your office and raise this issue, but since we've got you on the line, is that okay? Go ahead, Todd. Yeah, poor Senator Haggerty. He's just like, oh, Lord, what is going on here? Senator, so we ordered for the Todd Stearns radio show, we ordered a beautiful new printer in October, and it is still not here.

Over the weekend, I thought, you know, I got to get a new dining room table. Everywhere I went in Memphis, Tennessee, they told me it was going to be three to four months. And I only bring this up because you have an incredible conversation. Column out addressing this issue. You know, the Biden administration says, what supply chain issues?

Well, I'm telling the senator, we got some supply chain issues. Indeed. They've been trying to say that all of this is something transitory. It's due to corporate greed and price gouging, and there's something that's going to fix. Stuff will work itself out.

It's getting worse, Todd. And what's happening is that they have incentivized unemployment. They are creating regulatory hurdles and constructs. You try to get a truck into California right now to head to Long Beach.

Well, guess what? California has passed new environmental laws that don't allow many trucks to come into their states. They're creating themselves through regulation shortages in supply. They're relying on union workers that want to take the occasion to strike. There has been a tremendous amount of disruption in the system, but I think has a lot to do with some very bad policies coming out of Washington.

No, you're you're right. And you know, as a business owner, you know, we see this up front and it's a very disturbing thing that's happening in this country. And you wonder I mean, we've been getting photographs from people all over the nation showing the pictures of their local supermarkets, Walmarts, where more often than not there are bare shelves. Yes, and I'll tell you one thing that's just a complete disgrace. is the fact that the Biden administration has had practically a year in office Yet they've done nothing to deal with our test capacity.

They've done nothing to make certain that we have therapies across the country to deal with people once they are sick. In fact, what we're hearing is shortage after shortage. I don't know if you've tried to go get a rapid test at your pharmacy. Good luck. And if you have unfortunately become sick with COVID, The notion of getting monoclonal antibodies to help with that, that's become a real challenge.

So we have, again, another failed system. situation with the Biden administration, a media that won't hold them accountable. but they are abdicating their responsibilities. And if you think back to Joe Biden's campaign, And what he ran on, he was going to put this virus down. He was going to make certain we had adequate test capacity everywhere.

He was going to do everything he could to deal with this. And once he's taken office, virtually zero. They have, again, had another catastrophe, another crisis at their hand.

So if you don't have people working the shelves, stocking the shelves, it may be because they were exposed, but they can't get tested. Or it may be because they were sick and they can't get well because they can't get the therapies. On the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, our good friend Senator Bill Haggerty from Tennessee. Senator, a lot of business owners were waiting and have been waiting rather impatiently for the Supreme Court to weigh in on this OSHA mandate. Were you surprised that they did not offer an opinion today?

Well, I think it's unconstitutional on its face. I don't know why it takes the Supreme Court any time to get to this. And given the urgency of all of this, they need to address it because what's happening is as these mandates and as we approach the deadlines for these mandates, people are looking for other positions. They're just not going to do it. They're going to leave their job.

They're going to retire early. I've heard many, many folks talk about this is the the strategy that they're going to encounter. If you think about it, we've got an administration that won't allow for natural immunity at all. You've got an administration that wants to get in between the decisions made between a doctor and a patient. Todd, I took the vaccine.

It was the right decision for me. I think that what President Trump did with Operation Warp Speed is literally a miracle. And I'm glad that I have been fully vaccinated. But I'd say this, That was a personal decision for me to make with my doctor. and to take into account every aspect of your health.

Again, the Biden administration wants to get between a doctor and the patient. They want to get between an employer and an employee. And Biden himself said this was not the role of the federal government earlier.

So did his press secretary. But when things got really bad in Afghanistan, when their numbers started really cratering, In Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan was on the news, I think they came up with this as a means to divert America's attention to yet another crisis. But in a crisis it is indeed. Yeah, no, I'm with you, and it's a terrific piece you wrote on thehill.com. And folks, we've got a link to it on our live show blog.

Senator, one of the things that we've been really concerned about here on this program has been censorship. We got word early this morning that YouTube has now banned our show from their platform over misinformation. I mean, it is laughable, but at the same time, Republicans under Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell had an opportunity to address this, and it did not get addressed. And I'm wondering how big of an issue this is going to be for Republicans if you guys retake the House and the Senate. It's a very big issue, and I have legislation aimed at addressing this.

It basically Taking down is Section 230 that they hide behind. in forcing these platforms, these large platforms, to be essentially treated like their common carriers. To force them to have nondiscriminatory access. They have a unique monopoly positions they've been granted. They've used Section two hundred and thirty as a means not just its original intent was to keep obscenity and pornography off, but they've got a loophole in it that the words are or otherwise objectionable when they talk about the content that can be regulated or otherwise objectionable.

Well, they've used that loophole and they've driven a Mac truck through it. They decide. They don't have to put any criteria of what they use to decide, but they decide what is objectionable to them. It tends to be conservative voices like your own that they tend to move and snuff out. We've got to do something about this.

My legislation cleans this up. And we need to move on it. It will take us taking control of the House and Senate to get it done, but I look forward to doing it. All right.

Well, Senator, we're going to leave it there. Always appreciate you coming on the program and giving us an update on stuff. And, folks, I would encourage you to read Senator Hagerty's great column over at thehill.com. All right, Senator, appreciate it. Thank you, Todd.

Thanks for posting my article. Yes, sir. All right.

There you go.

He still didn't tell us when we could expect to get our printer, Grace. It's terrible. I don't think anybody has an answer to all that. It's unfortunate. I mean, it's, you know, again, it's just, you know, it frustrates me because a lot of people believe what's coming out of their TV every night in the evening news.

And you've got Biden, you've got the media out there saying, well, you know, there really is no such thing as a supply chain shortage. It doesn't help matters when Fox News is out there posting pictures of empty store shelves from Japan 10 years ago. That doesn't help. But again, from a very practical standpoint, I was, and what brought the reason we brought this up, by the way, we should probably get people a behind-the-scenes look at what happens here.

So you print out a wealth of information for me. It's really my stack of stuff. Yes, literally. The stories we talk about. And I'm old school, and because I haven't had the cataract surgery yet, it's very hard for me to read the computer screen.

So you print it out. And so I come up here, and there's like. Nothing. It's like a desert. And I'm like, Grace, what happened?

And you said the toner, because we've ordered this really fancy printer that you can transport people to another building with. The thing is massive. And we're dealing with some old school printers here. Yes. And the toner goes out.

On a regular basis. 'Cause we use a lot we kill a lot of trees. And for the record, on Earth Day, we drive around the Cadillac and we just hit the gas. You know, it's like blowing stuff out the wazoo of the candy. Yeah.

We're just that kind of a talk show.

So, anyway, we've been waiting for this blasted printer to get here. And so, I know the staff is so frustrated with me because I keep asking, when are we going to get it? What are we going to do? We don't know. I don't know.

What do you want me to do, Starnes? You want me to get in a boat and go to China? Yeah, exactly. Where it's coming from? I can start digging if you want.

Are there any? I'm wondering if there are any companies that actually make. Printers here on American soil. I don't think there are. I have never tried to look.

So I don't know.

Well, I can promise you if there are, then we will find it.

Somebody will let us know. If there is an American company that makes printers on American soil. We apparently, well, yeah, again, we might get this printer by the end of the year, but I wouldn't hold your breath. We ordered it in October! October.

We could have made one by now. I know people who ordered a stove in September and they're not getting it until February. Blasted dining room table. I'm never going to get that thing. No.

You just have to eat on the floor. And this is why. This is. Thank you for that, Grace. This is why Joe Biden's approval ratings are in the tank.

I mean, I have never seen anything like this, and I've been covering politics for decades. I don't understand. Never seen anything like it. Under Trump, it was like, okay, you don't like his tweets. You don't like this and that.

Whatever. He wasn't my favorite either. But. How was your life? How was your everyday life?

Were you able to get what groceries you wanted?

Well, yeah. Was gas cheap? Yeah. Were you able to save money, go on vacations, buy a house?

Well, yeah. Well that's all I care about. That's it. That's all I care about. That's it.

That's all we need. We're not asking for a lot. We're not asking for a whole lot. It's like, how was your life? When Trump was president versus now.

Now it's a lot more difficult. It's a very simple question. A very simple question. All right.

Hey, by the way, folks, tonight, Newsmax TV, you will be able to see me. I'll be on one of the shows, I think, 5:15 Eastern Time. You'll be able to watch.

So, looking forward to that coming up with our partners over at Newsmax TV. All right, 844-747-8868. You know, by the way, our good friend Michelle Cox, who we co-wrote the book together, she and her husband were building a beautiful new home in North Carolina, beautiful mountainside, just a great setting. And it took them months, months to get the things they had ordered almost a year ago. And here in Memphis, Tennessee, we're about to get a beautiful brand new airport.

I mean, the thing is amazing. It was supposed to be open in the fall. And everything is ready to go, but they're waiting for some key important parts that are being shipped in from overseas. And they cannot open the airport until they get those, whatever it is they ordered.

So they were supposed to have already been up and running by last fall, and the new airport is still on mothballs. And I have to imagine this is happening in other places all over America. 844-747-8868, toll-free number. That's 844-747-8868. We'll be right back.

Triggering microaggressions from coast to coast. It's Todd Starnes. All right, welcome back to the the Todd Stars radio show, Grace. You've got to read. I can't read the text message you sent me, but we got a message.

From a guy named Garrett Gordon. From, I guess, here in the area, right, on Facebook. Oh, yeah. And he said he was listening to the show and he heard about the printer issue. And he said, We are fully stocked on fancy printers and can deliver one next week.

Really? Wow.

So you might be saving. All right.

I need you to work your magic here. I'm getting on it. Wow, that could be exciting. Could be our printer savior. I love it.

The pious printer. Yes. I love it. All right.

Get on that, Grace Baker. This story just in from Fox News. Laura Ingram is suggesting that she's suggesting running mates for Hillary Clinton's 2024 presidential ticket. By the way, and I. You know, I should not this is boasting, and I know we're not supposed to boast, but if we don't toot our own horn every now and again, no one will toot it for us.

Just want to point out that we were among the very first to predict that Hillary Clinton would be running for the White House in twenty twenty four. It's over for Joe. It's over. I don't look, I don't care how much the First Lady, doctor Mrs. Jill Biden, complains about it.

It's over. Anyway, Laura Ingram says Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney would be the perfect ticket. She says they've got a lot in common. Both of the gals are committed globalist. They favor open borders and they are pro-China.

They are pro-Big Tech and they have benefited hugely from nepotism.

Now, you know, this is interesting. And you just think about this for a moment. If Bill Clinton's wife, I'm sorry, if Bill Clinton had not been elected governor of Arkansas, if he had not been elected President of the United States and then fornicated in the Oval Office with Monica Walinski, if he had not done all of that, do you think that Hillary Rodham Clinton? would be where she is today. Do you think that would have happened?

And this is why, and people get really upset on the left, and I get it. But the reality is her name is misses Bill Clinton.

Okay. The only reason she is where she is today has nothing to do with her. It has everything to do with her husband. And that's just the reality of the situation.

So let's take a look at Liz Cheney for just a moment. Do you really believe that Liz Cheney would be where she is today if her father? Was not Dick Cheney? Do you really believe that? Would we even know who she I mean, seriously.

It's so again, I think Laura Ingram raises a pretty interesting point here that. That they benefited from nepotism. Oh, she says that Liz Cheney always looks and sounds like she's passing a kidney stone. Yeah. She said that Hillary always looks unhappy.

She said Hillary's been miserable for decades. And it's true. And why is that? Why is that?

Now, Grace Baker where is Grace Baker?

Now, I want you to think about this for a moment.

Now, Grace, you have a lovely marriage with Mr. Producer. I mean, you guys are in love. He would do anything. He was singing.

He would do anything for you. Yes. But let's just say, let's just say that Mr. Producer one day decided that, you know, whatever, he was going to go off the reservation. Would you smack him?

Yeah, what would you do? Would you smack him around? I'd give him a smack. Would you kick him out the front door? I'd kick him out and send Merlot after him.

There you go.

Get him, Merlot. Get him, Merlot. But again, that would never happen because it's a very beautiful relationship. But the point is. In an alternate universe.

In an alternate universe. You would kick that guy to the curb. Yes. Hillary didn't do that. And she should have done it because that guy was incredibly unfaithful.

Yes. Multiple women. And I don't get it. I just don't get it.

Someone shows you the true colors once, don't make them show you again. It's like the mother of all country music songs with those guys, the Clintons.

So here's my take on this: the reason why. It didn't bother her, Grace. The reason why she decided to stand by her man and bake the cookies is because of the power. Not the love. The power.

The power. She wanted the power. And that's why she stuck al that's why she stood alongside this guy as he was jetting off to Lord knows where with who knows what with Epstein and Company. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Oh.

But if I did, it was good. Oh, my God. Hillary, Hillary. You love me, Hillary. That's pretty good.

No, I'm telling you, there's so it's fascinating, this story. Foxnews.com has the story. Laura Ingram says Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton would make. Would make great partners. They would make something funny.

Monica Lewinsky now writing saying it's not the worst idea that Hillary would run in 2024. If that's the case, it has to be Trump versus Clinton. It's got to be. It's got to be. And that will be nuclear.

I thought it was bad round one. And that's why everybody's got to get on the same page here with all of the vaccine stuff. We've got to get all this sorted out here, folks. Otherwise, you could have a Hillary Clinton presidency.

So we can't, the Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, everybody's going to have to work together. to put down this Democrat attack On our values. I mean, this is truly. Capitalism versus communism. And this is where we're heading to, folks.

This is the battle of the century. All right, got to take a break here: 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite cunt totem Bible-clinging deplorable American. Sir.

That's right. I love this American. Todd Starnes. Alright, so I Here's the deal. Joe Biden is up on Capitol Hill, and he's.

Trying to get Democrats. In the Senate to go along with this plan to get rid of the filibuster. Not going to happen, ladies and gentlemen. Just a few moments ago, Kirsten Sinema from Arizona, man, I don't know who triggers the progressives more, her or Joe Manchin from West Virginia, but here's what she had to say. Address the disease itself.

The disease of division. to protect our democracy. And it cannot be achieved by one party alone. It cannot be achieved solely by the federal government. The response requires something greater and, yes, more difficult than what the Senate is discussing today.

Well, there you go. She went on to say that she is not going to support the filibuster, the removal of the filibuster. And it's going to get ugly. You could hear the emotion in her voice. Very, very emotional.

So we'll keep you updated on any developments this hour of the program.

Now, Grace Baker, normally, after the show, I go to Shelby Farms, a beautiful park in Memphis, Tennessee. Very tranquil. Very tranquil, except for the ducks. They really don't, they're not Zen ducks. Got to watch out for the geese.

The geese. Yeah. Oh, it's the geese. I turned around one day and I had like 300 geese following me. That was very disconcerting.

I have questions. I think they're liberals. Anyway, normally people think, oh, when Starnes is out there listening to the music, he's thinking, oh, Starnes listens to opera music or classic. What is that? I don't know.

Classical music. Go lucky. But no, no, no, no, no. This is the kind of music that Starnes listens to. Hello, City!

Fighter! It's past time! It's past time! I take control, I'm cutting, cutting wires. I love it.

All right, new music from my favorite band of all time, Skillet, and on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line is the lead singer John Cooper. Hey, John, how's it going? Man, I'm so glad that those geese aren't aren't scaring you because you have skillet on your side. You can make it through the geese. I love it.

That's it. I think I'm the you're one of your only fans that wears a cardigan sweater.

So I'm not yeah, I don't do leather very well, but I love the music, man. I love it. Oh, that's so very kind.

Well, thanks for what an amazing introduction. It's great to chat with you again, man. Likewise, so a brand new album out called and it'll be out, what, tomorrow, is that right? Called Dominion. That's right.

For any of you the night owls listening, it'll be out tonight at midnight.

So if you're dying to stay up late, Just to get the new Skillet record, you may do so. It'll come out at midnight.

Well, that's fantastic. And we were kind enough to get an advanced copy. It's just everything you guys do is just great. And what I love about Skillet, you guys have just, I mean, you're the real deal. I mean, you are the same folks, I think, spiritually, foundationally, from the day you guys started the group.

Well, that's so nice. I appreciate that. Yeah, I mean, it's been 25 years now, which I can't believe because I don't feel that old. But guess what? I think we are, Todd.

Oh, we are. We are, John. I'm waiting for cataract surgery, my friends. We had to keep that a secret. I love it.

Yeah, but you know, I'm so blessed to be still playing music, and I've always. I've always believed that music is a great way to share the gospel of Christ. It's a great way to. to have a message, you know, because people listen to music and they're open if the music sounds good, then they're open to what you're saying. It sort of like gets people ready, it softens people in a certain way.

And I've always believed that in the music business has changed, life has changed, but the message never you know never changes it's still the same message hope in Jesus Christ You matter because God created you in His image. He is listening, and I just think that music's a great way to share that. I have a copy of the interview that Deborah Price did over at Billboard. Interesting headline: You say we're in a spiritual battle every day. What do you mean by that?

Oh, there's so many things to mean by that. Yeah, let's see. I was probably talking about the name of the record, which is called Dominion, and she was asking what the themes are and this, that and the other. With music, you're always going to get this sort of like onion peel. There's going to be the obvious layer and then there's the really deeper layers.

The obvious layers is that this record is about the fact that we are I mean, this has been a hard two years. We are fighting through all this crazy stuff in life and pandemics, and this, that, and the other. There's this sort of. Battle of fear going on. You know, I think something worse than the pandemic is really the pandemic of fear that's happening.

It's gripping people. Even some Christians that I know have really lived their lives in that fear, and I want to encourage them not to, because the Bible says. that we do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

Sound mind is what we desperately need to see in back in America right now. On the deepest level, though, I do think there is a spiritual war going on. We know that for the battle against the flesh even.

So it could be viewed as that. this battle going on between good and evil, flesh and the spirit, as the Bible might call it. And then I think that there but but I do think that on the deepest I shouldn't say the deepest level, but on the final onion layer, if you will, I am kind of alluding in this record to the times that we were in. I really believed. there is a war against Christianity at all of the West.

I don't think it's just a revolution against America. I think it's against the principles underlying America, which is Christianity, Christian values, the Word of God, absolute truth. I believe that, that's happening in the world. And I think that that the church should have something to say about that. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good friend from Skellet, John Cooper.

John, you talk about this, and it is a war, and I think you're right to point out this is a global attack on Christianity. My concern, my greatest concern going through the pandemic and in the early days of the pandemic, was how many of our fellow citizens were just willing to surrender their civil liberties, shut down the churches, shut down the ministries. And I think now a lot of these same churches are having a difficult time getting folks to come back to the church. Wow.

Yeah. You know what, Todd? I cannot agree with that any more. Obviously, people are going to feel differently about things. Very open to people disagreeing with me, disagreeing in love, having the conversations, but.

Part of that needs to be in honesty, exactly what you said. I think a lot of Christians just were unaware of the times. It's almost like. They just couldn't see what was happening. And then when you talk about civil liberties, they start thinking that you're now all you're talking about is politics.

And you're saying, no, I'm not talking about politics. I'm talking about liberty. These are this is our God given right. This is not political. We don't get our individual liberties from the government.

We get them from God. The American government protects those, right? And so I think that a lot of Christians just missed it. And that's okay, it's not too late, but we do need to kind of see what's happening. You've got to put your spiritual eyes on and see what's happening.

See why this attack is happening, and I do believe that it is a power play, not just in America, I think it's a global power play. to see how much the government autocracies can come over and take your rights away, take your liberties away. They don't want you raising your kids. They want to raise your kids. They want to be in charge of what your kids learn at school and what they learn about sexuality or gender or Basically, everything.

And so I think the Christians were unaware of the battle. And I'm not here to beat them up. I'm here to say, hey, wake up. We have a job to do. And if we fight, For this, and if we win.

then everyone is going to be blessed. Christian or not. Everyone's going to be blessed because of those individual liberties. We shouldn't be so quickly throwing away the great principles of America that I believe are rooted in Uh basically the reformers Basically, Martin Luther and Calvin and the Puritans. We shouldn't be willing to throw that away so easily.

No, I think you're absolutely right. And I'm working on a new book. It'll be out in October. And some of the resource material, someone sent me, it must be a thousand pages combined, John, of political sermons delivered during the Revolutionary Wartime. And so it really throws out this notion that we should not be talking about those issues from the pulpit.

Not only did they talk about those issues, they said some very unchrist-like things about the British invading armies from those pulpits back in the day. I'm like, whoa, those are ACDC lyrics.

Well, I do think that we've kind of. I think that we've just kind of taken the guts out of Christianity in a certain way. And it's funny that you said that because. My wife got me a book for Christmas. I wonder if it's the exact same book that you're talking about.

It's huge. It's about 1,000 pages. And I bet it's the same book. It's gotta be. It's got to be because I think it's resurfacing.

I think the people are going Hey, maybe we've missed something. And I'll tell you what, I think. This is just my opinion, Todd. I might be off, but. I think that some of that seems to me to be Sort of like a fake news narrative that began a couple of hundred years ago to really demean.

the the Puritans to kind of demean that that sort of way of life that that said that Christ has something to say about the civil realm and the political realm and the way that governments run and law. I think that the Puritans really got such a bad name and and Then we took this turn towards pietism, towards this: I don't want to get involved, that's not our world. The kingdom is not of this world, and so therefore we don't get involved. I think a lot of Christians are waking up to that. And in fact, that was an inspiration of the name of this record.

I named it Dominion. Daniel 7, it says, His dominion shall be an everlasting dominion. It was based on that. That is, Christ is king of the earth right now. He is ruling over the earth right now in the midst of his enemies.

And he has something to say about this. I don't know, that's that's kind of like on my deepest level that I don't get to talk about in interviews much because Most rock people don't really care about that, but it's really a celebration of this world belongs to Christ. And he has given the church a role to play in speaking justice to the nation. I love it. John, we got to get you here to Memphis for a concert one of these days.

I know. We'll get the geese out there and no, I mean, I we we we are going to be playing um Right over the bridge in South Haven. We are going to be playing there in March, you know, Lord willing, as long as everything keeps. Keeps open.

So feel free to come out, see us. But we're going to be playing the new record then, playing some new songs and all that good stuff. Love it. All right.

Well, we will get that information. I can promise you we'll be there for that. I'll be the guy in the cardigan on the front row there.

So it's all right. John Cooper on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. The new album, Dominion. It's out tonight at midnight. John, always good talking to you and safe travels out there on the road, my friend.

Thank you, Todd. Great to chat with you. Have a great one. All right, you too now. Good man, right there, and just a great band.

Grace, you seem surprised that I'm a heavy metal. Like you said, you got like the. You got the sweater on, the cardigan on. Like right now, you have a cardigan on. You look like, oh, who am I?

Mr. Rogers. Grace, go stand in the corner. Go stand in the corner. What, everyone?

Loves Mr. Rogers. There is a picture of me. I was years ago, I was down in our friends at K-P-E-L, K-R-O-F in Lafayette. I was down there for a big book signing.

We had a big event with our listeners, and just wonderful people down there.

So, anyway, after one of the events, some guy comes over and says, Hey, I own a gun store. You want to go out and shoot guns tomorrow? And I'm like, Heck yeah.

Well, you know, I did not come prepared for that. Of course not. And we're down in Cajun country in the swamp, and we go out there. There's a photograph of me in a cardigan sweater holding an AR-15. Heck yeah.

It was pretty awesome. It was like Mr. Rogers goes rambo. That's what somebody said. It's like kind of crazy.

But we had a great time down there. Anyway, folks, great album. Got to get yourself a copy. We had a link to it on our live show blog. And John Cooper, you know, if we had more people like that speaking truth into the culture from the Christian music world, imagine where we would be right now.

844-747-8868, toll-free telephone number, 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show. You're listening to Todd Starnes. Again, folks, just want to remind you that YouTube has banned our show. They took down yesterday's show.

They said we violated their standards. I guess that's possible, Grace. I don't know. I think we have a pretty decent show, but clearly we must have violated YouTube standards. YouTube has a very different set of standards than everybody else.

Clearly. I remember when I got booted, actually suspended from Facebook because I said I was sitting in a Cracker Barrel rocking chair drinking sweet tea, listening to the Bill Gaither vocal band. While reading a Paula Dean cookbook. Don't forget about LinkedIn. And we've been actually permanently banned from LinkedIn.

Permanently banned. From LinkedIn. What are you laughing at? Because it was my fault. Oh, that's right.

I keep forgetting about that. Oh, I'll never forget. Go stay into the corner. I forgot about that.

So, again, it's really sad because, look, we don't do anything crazy out there. I mean, you ought to see some of the stuff that's on social media. It's just horrific stuff. And yet, they don't like our politics. They don't like the fact that we are a pro-traditional family.

They don't like the fact that we ascribe to biblical norms on the big issues of the day. They got a problem with it, and they want to shut us down, which is why we've been really urging people to migrate to ToddStarnes.com. And you can sign up for our alerts. You can bookmark our page. You can get our free podcast and newsletter.

We are working very hard on what we're going to do next with this ban from YouTube. We do have a Rumble channel, rumble.com/slash ToddStarnes.

So you can find us there. We also have a pretty massive platform over at Getter,getter.com. But again, for us, we're taking a page out of what Rush Limbaugh used to say, and that's. That's keep everything on your own website. Don't rely on anybody else.

Rely on yourself. And that way, you can't get banned. Your business is not going to take a hit.

So, we would encourage you to do that. I'm urging you to do that, and especially our newsletter, that is the lifeblood of what we do here, and we don't charge anything for that. And the reason why it's very simple. Because we believe these things are very important. Very important.

So there you go. 844-747-8868, toll-free telephone number. Oh, the app contest.

So, Grace, we're doing a sort of a company-wide contest with the app. Yes.

And we're encouraging people to put, you know, the name of the person.

And there's like a big prize, like a $50 gift certificate or something. It's a date night out. It's a date night out. There you go.

And you can either put in what, Grace's name, put in Grace Baker, or Kyle, our engineer, or Kyle, our engineer. I guess.

I'm trying to be fair and balanced here. I'm literally in between you two. But again, whoever gets the most sign-ups to their name is going to get a nice little prize.

So. Grace Baker. Jesus alone. All right, got to take a break here, folks. 844-747-8868.

This is the Todd Starn Show. All right, folks, if you haven't already done so, you might want to go ahead and get your tickets to CPAC. I'll be delivering a keynote address down there in Orlando in a couple of weeks. Also, I'll be speaking to young people at the Young Americas Foundation National Conference, the National Teen Conference, and that's in Santa Barbara, California. And we look forward to seeing a lot of our great West Coast listeners during that event and book signing.

We've got a lot of the calendar is filling up, and we've got a lot of stuff going on. ToddStarnes.com if you want to see more information about where we are off to. This information just coming in within the past hour, the New York Times reporting and many other outlets as well. The leader of Oath Keepers, Stuart Rhodes, has been arrested by the FBI. He is the founder of Oath Keepers, which is a militia.

And he's been charged in connection to the riot on January the 6th. We understand that he has been charged with seditious conspiracy.

Now, up until now, no one had been charged with insurrection or sedition. Clearly, that appears. To not be the case now.

So we will keep you updated on this breaking news as details warrant. All right, let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Great to have with us from the Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University, our good friend Ryan Helfenbein. Ryan, hope you're doing good today. Great, Todd.

Thank you so much for having me on, as always. And really appreciate everything you're doing, being a voice for freedom in this country. Ryan, we've been following a lot of big stories around the country. Of course, a lot of people were expecting the Supreme Court to weigh in on this Biden-OSHA mandate, which not only impacts private businesses, but also a number of Christian ministries and even churches with more than 100 members. And so far, no decision.

Yeah, it's a little bit disappointing, obviously, but not surprising. And I think that everything that we've been seeing has been predictably unpredictable, or maybe the reverse of that. Obviously, not the timing that we would want, we want to know quickly. But one thing I will say about this particular case is that it is very revealing culturally the divide that we have in this country. I think that we just witnessed in 2020 the first postmodern election of our lifetime, where facts and information were being spewed in all different kinds of directions, were being contorted, and people were being confused.

And then, even now, we have this kind of postmodern reality in the court. And what we saw in the hearings both today and last week, you know, it's very revealing to see where these justices stand. It's not just the traditional right versus the right. Versus left divide, but it's an ideological divide of reality itself where we're debating what is a virus, what is constitutionality versus public policy, what's man being made in the image of God versus a machine that is an occupational hazard. It was very revealing to see Soda Mayor and Elena Kagan and Justice Breyer and all of those give their opinion in these hearings.

And again, that's the key, Ryan. They were giving their opinions. They were asking people their opinions. They were not asking about what the law says. And that's the only thing we're concerned about here at the Supreme Court is what the law says.

What does the Constitution say about this? That's absolutely right. And that has been our standard and standing American public policy going all the way back since 1788. And so, when we consider the fact that these cases, let me break in here because we have some breaking news to share with you. And, Grace, if you could get that to Caleb and let's get that up on the website.

I want to read the breaking news. The Supreme Court has apparently weighed in and they have struck down Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate for private employers. There you go.

There you go.

That's huge. That's huge. That is a big win for freedom. That is a big win for freedom. I would like to see what the finer print on that is in terms of what it means for private health care providers and the rest.

I'd like to know what that means. But that is a huge win for liberty when it concerns the private sector. That's a big deal. It is a big deal. And even more so when they're telling churches and Christian ministries how they should be governing the affairs of their staffers, that's also a big problem.

Yeah, that's absolutely right. And by the way, there's not going to be any shortage of that moving forward. I expect many more frontline leading cultural issues on that front facing religious liberty, freedom of speech, that will affect congregations and ministries, private universities like Liberty University. And so we have to be absolutely prepared for that. Absolutely.

Ryan, real quick here, of course, coming up very soon, the March for Life, I know Liberty University students are all over that. Yes. Well, Todd, as you know, the the Gen Z generation Very pro-life, and I am amazed at the leadership of these young people. This is not something they take lightly, they take this very seriously. I think this is a majority issue, a clear majority greater than 50% issue.

It is going our way in terms of the culture, and that's largely because we were not silent and have not been silent for decades on this. The March for Life, of course, the annual march happens on the anniversary of the Roe versus Wade decision that came in January 22nd, 1973. And, Todd, one of the questions I wonder is: will this be the last year in which that fateful decision has its stay? As a legal authority and in our culture, will the Dobbs versus Mississippi, will that be overruled or will that be upheld this summer? And it could change the law in this country.

And so that's something we're praying for. Absolutely. And Ryan, I do hate to cut this short, but with the breaking news coming down from Washington, we need to take a break here. Again, we appreciate all the great work you guys are doing at Standing for Freedom Center. Incredible events, incredible speakers that you guys are bringing to campus and really raising up that next generation of conservative leadership, educated conservative leadership, which is so vitally important.

Ryan, where can people go if they want to get involved? Get more information about what's happening and what you guys are doing. Absolutely. It's www.standingforfreedom.com, standingforfreedom.com, and they can get information there. All right.

Ryan, again, appreciate all the great work you're doing. Ryan Halfenbein, ladies and gentlemen, from Liberty University. The Standing for Freedom Center. We have a direct link on our website. All right.

So I need to reset here and apologize because I did not give you the accurate information here, and I want to make sure I get that to you. The Supreme Court did block the vaccine testing requirement for large businesses, but it did allow the vaccine mandate for certain health care workers to go into effect. This is why they did not issue an immediate ruling because of this issue right here. In my estimation, that still makes it. Unconstitutional.

And we'll get into reading the dissents because I know there will be dissents in this, and we'll get to see the thinking of the Supreme Court justices. But quite frankly, it's enough to make everybody in the country mad at the Supreme Court. What they should have done is completely wiped out Biden's vaccine testing mandates, but they're not going to do that. They're going to allow it to stand for certain health care workers. All you folks who have a large business, you're not going to have to comply.

We're going to get your thoughts on this. We're going to open up the phone lines here: 844-747-8868. Did the Supreme Court do the right thing? That's 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starn Show.

It's the Todd Starnes Radio Show. Yeah. All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. We're going through the Supreme Court ruling here. I guess the headline out of this is that the Supreme Court just destroyed Joe Biden and his mandate.

That's pretty much it. The Biden administration seriously wanted to force many of our American businesses to be shut down. I mean, that was the ultimate goal here. And they knew what was going to happen. They knew that tens of thousands of American citizens would not comply with this, even if it meant quitting their jobs.

They knew that was going to happen.

So that's what they wanted. And this is, again, big picture, all part of the effort to destabilize our economy so the American people are reliant upon the federal government for all of their provisions.

So we, um, the one sticking point here is that, um, The vaccine mandate is in effect for health care workers who work at government-funded hospitals and medical facilities.

So if you are, let's say, Baptist Hospital here in Memphis, for example, you guys would not be required to follow the mandates. If you are at a state-funded or a federally funded facility, you would have to follow the mandate.

Now, here's the breakdown. And God bless Donald Trump. That's all I can say is God bless Donald Trump and his Supreme Court picks because every single one of his picks. Dissented on the health care vaccine mandate. Segment.

Justice Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Barrett. They dissent. The well, and Kavanaugh, we've got to ch we'll see where Kavanaugh stands on all of this.

So he m I we don't we don't know. Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan dissented from the decision to block the vax or test rule for workplaces of one hundred or more employees. Uh So an overwhelming majority of the court voted to protect businesses from this incredible overreach by Joe Biden. Fox News has the headline shot down. Supreme Court just handed Biden admin its biggest blow to COVID vaccine mandate so far.

Ron Blitzer is The author Yeah. The Supreme Court issued mixed rulings in a pair of cases challenging the Biden administration, allowing the requirement for certain health care workers to go into effect while blocking the enforcement of the mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees. The latter is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA rule that took effect on Monday that said businesses with at least 100 employees needed to require workers to get vaccinated or tested weekly. And wear a mask.

Well, there you go. So, somewhat, somewhat good news, ladies and gentlemen. As As we maneuver through, and we'll have more context later on today as we're able to read through the opinions that are written by the justices.

So there you go. Reading from the ruling, by the way, our good friend and chief executive officer Dalton Glasscock sends us this note. Let me see if I can't read this. The challenges posed by a global pandemic do not allow a federal agency to exercise power that Congress has not conferred upon it. At the same time, such unprecedented circumstances provide no grounds for limiting the exercise of authorities the agency has long been recognized to have.

But the reality here, folks, is this: we've had pandemics in our history. I mean, this is nothing. Unusual. We have had these kinds of issues. I would contend that this pandemic.

Has been blown extraordinarily out of proportion. And I say that simply because we heard from the CDC director, Rochelle Walinski, just a few days ago telling Brett Baer that of the people who have died, the 75% of the people who have died from the China virus had some sort of a comorbidity. In many cases, they had four comorbidities.

So when you factor all of that in, it's not like people are, let's say, chicken pox. It's not like everybody's getting chicken pox and dropping dead from chicken pox. No, they had something else severely wrong with them. That's what's going on here.

So at the end of the day and this may take years I mean, we may not even be alive when the historians finally get around to figuring out what we've all been through over the past two and a half years. But when the historians do look back on this time in American history, I suspect. I suspect they're going to say that it was one of the greatest. I wouldn't say perfect. Yeah.

But the governments of the world are pulling a fast one here. Yeah. Want to read some comments coming in here as this breaking news comes in from the Supreme Court. First Liberty Institute represented three. National Religious Ministries, the American Family Association, Answers in Genesis, and Daystar Television Network.

And we have a statement from First Liberty Institute. We are pleased the Supreme Court is preventing this unconstitutional mandate from going into effect, but we hope the court will strike it down to avoid a constitutional crisis. This is from Kelly Shackelford. President Biden is not a king. He cannot federalize the nation's workforce and force employees to violate the conscience rights of their employees.

We will continue to fight on behalf of our clients and the American people to protect them from this illegal, dangerous expansion of government power.

So that coming in from Kelly Shackelford over at the First Liberty Institute. Grace Baker, I understand. Did we get a statement from Tony Perkins? No, we did not. All right, so um there we go.
