Food Company Tells White Men Not to Apply For Jobs

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 favorite cunt-totant Bible-clinging deplorable American. That's us, that's right. I love this American rap. Todd Starn. Slowly.

All right, it is a glorious day across America, ladies and gentlemen. President Joseph Robinette Biden. We'll become a saint. He has cured cancer. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States has cured cancer.

Yes, I repeat again. Joe Biden has cured cancer. That news coming yesterday from the White House, I don't know how. You know, it's the man is a saint. That's all I can say.

Cut number one. I said I'd cure cancer and it looked at me like, why cancer? Because no one thinks we can. That's why, and we can't. We need to end cancer as we know it.

Deliver on our sacred obligations to veterans is the second thing I think is critically important. All right. Good for you, Mr. President. Curing cancer.

Coming up next, we're getting this word from the White House, late word from the White House, that herpes and constipation are next on the president's list of ailments, of maladies that he will, and he's commencing the cure right now.

So we will keep you updated throughout the day on those issues. Wow. Oh, my goodness. Welcome to the program, everybody. We've got a lot happening today, a lot of breaking news.

And I want to give you the very latest on this Hunter-Biden plea deal, which is appearing to unravel in court right now. Hunter is before the judge. They've taken a recess.

So they can get all of this figured out. But apparently, the way this agreement has been structured, and keep in mind, this is an agreement on tax crimes. But the judge can't seem to understand why they threw the gun charge in with the tax crimes. There's really no connection there. And apparently, there's also some sort of an agreement the way it was written that it would give Hunter Biden immunity from any other crime he may have committed that is not even mentioned in the court documents.

So, what we're seeing, it looks as though the Bidens were trying to pull a fast one on the judge. By the way, the Justice Department earlier today recommending That Hunter just gets probation, no jail time. They're recommending no jail time. But right now, it looks like all of this is falling apart. And just so you understand what we're dealing with here, Hunter Biden failed to pay between $1.1 million and $1.5 million in federal taxes.

If you or I had done that, We would be in jail for many years. But the Justice Department decided to charge Hunter Biden with misdemeanor charges. These are felony tax crimes we're talking about here. And Hunter just got a slap on the wrist. The gun charge, as well, would have landed any of the rest of us in jail for a very long time.

So the judge is trying to figure out: okay, wait a second, how does the tax crime and how does the gun charge fit together here? This isn't making any sense to the judge. And that's where we are at right now. Here is CNN reporting on this Cut 19.

So, as I went back into the courtroom, the hearing had just begun again. The judge was back on the bench, and she was pressing the prosecution on this investigation and the four corners of this plea agreement. One of the prosecutors said that the investigation was very much ongoing, and that she asked him, Well, what is not covered in this plea agreement if you are leaving the possibility for the bringing other future charges?

So, then the judge said, Would this include a possible Farah charge that's not registering as a foreign agent? The prosecutor said, No, the deal would not include that. It was at that point that she had said to the prosecution, you know. If you are not good, if you can charge that, then what does this mean? And the prosecutors asked Hunter Biden's attorneys about that, and he said, Well, then there's no deal.

And the prosecutor said, Then there is no deal.

So Biden's team said that the plea agreement, as far as they understood it, was now null and void. They were moving ahead to talk about what the next steps would be in this case.

So, as of right now, the deal appears to be dead and off the table, and it remains to be seen how they're going to move forward. But he has been charged with those two misdemeanor tax evasion charges. But one thing we learned is that this investigation is very much still ongoing.

So, the judge is saying, well, wait a second. If the investigation is ongoing, what are we doing here right now? I mean, that's the gist of this.

So, that tells me one of two. Two things here. Number one, that the, and I actually. I think there's only one thing going on here. It looks to me like the deep state has finally had enough of the Bidens.

And they've been given the AOK to go after Hunter Biden and throw the book at Hunter. They've tried to get through to Joe Biden. They've tried to convince him not to run for reelection. Whatever they're telling him is not computing, and therefore they're going to go after Hunter and set an example here. And it's not going to end with Hunter.

Because keep in mind his father, Joey, even though he is now a saint, even though he has cured cancer, the guy has committed crimes. And the guy is the leader. He is the godfather of the Biden Family Crime Syndicate.

So we'll see how all this plays out. Um as they say in the business, a very fluid situation. And as they also say, all eyes and ears on Delaware, and uh we'll keep you updated on what happens there. But um Hunter could be going to jail. Ladies and gentlemen, Hunter could be going to jail.

All right. Um, at this moment, Secretary Majorkas Alejandro. Yeah. Is on the hot seat up on Capitol Hill. Big hearing underway.

The Secretary of Homeland Security. I got carried away there, Grace. I couldn't stop it. You know, I felt like I was in a soccer match.

Now taking the field, Alejandro. Oh my orchis. Buenos dias. Anyway, my orcas is in hot water. Ladies and gentlemen, are you aware that since well, last year, 2022, The year of our Lord.

Over two million illegal aliens We were either encountered or released into the United States. That's the population of Mississippi. Crooked letter, crooked letter, hump back, hump back out. It is insane what's happening. And so anyway, Congressman Matt Gates.

God love him. He is man. He is going after my orchest like a hungry man on a cheeseburger. Cut number sixteen, please. Two million encounters and releases under your watch.

So not including the Title Forty two expulsions, not including violent criminals. of those two million plus that you've encountered and released, How many have you told to go home? Congressman, individuals who are released are placed in immigration enforcement proceedings under the law where they can make their claim for relief. If their claim for relief is not a relationship, Is not satisfied, they are subject to removal from the United States. Right, subject to removal sounds very different than actually removed.

So I'm not interested in the process, I'm not interested in what people are subject to. Two million. people. encountered and released. Not the expulsions under Title Flighty Two, not the criminals.

How many of those people have you deported?

So, Congressman, a few points. Number one, just how many of the people? I just want to know how many. Just a number. Congressman, we are dealing With a completely broken immigration system.

I get it. No, no, no, Mr. Secretary, I'm not going to let you burn my five minutes. Do you know the answer? Do you know the number of people out of that 2 million that you've removed that aren't criminals?

I do know that we have removed more aggravated felons. Right, I'm not asking about them. I've caveated that away. Because here's what I'm sort of getting, and what your nonresponsiveness is demonstrating. The Majorca doctrine is this.

If you show up at the border, And get released into the country if you don't commit a specific aggravated felony, which by the way doesn't include a lot of assault and battery, doesn't include a lot of bad domestic violence. But if you're not one of the people who commit those crimes, you get to stay forever. And he's not wrong, folks. He's not wrong. Look, we need to really have a come to Jesus moment on this issue with the border.

So, our borders have been overrun. The borders have been breached. We have been invaded by a horde of illegal aliens. And we're talking at least 2 million that we know of. Those are the ones that we know of.

And this is just in 2022. We're not talking about the ones that came across in 2021 or 2020. We're talking about. Populations so massive That they can and they will impact elections. Both at the local level and the federal level.

We're talking about a fundamental transformation of America, one that Barack Hussein Obama preached about on a very regular basis. Oh, by the way, you know who else used to like paddleboarding a lot? That would be Barack Obama. I just want to throw that out there. Anyway, I don't want to get sidetracked here.

So, what we need to understand here is what is the end game here? The end game is to destabilize our nation. And when you allow populations this massive coming across the border, these people are not interested in assimilation. They're not interested in learning our language. They're not interested in becoming productive members of society.

They want to take from you. It's much like a swarm of locusts. Have you seen that going back to the biblical times? Remember when the swarm of locusts came and they devour everything and they destroy everything they touch? That's what these illegals are doing.

And this is, I really don't have time to parse my words here on this, but this is a clear and present danger to the Republic. We are basically inviting millions of illegals into this country to take everything we have. To cause unrest on our streets, to terrorize our citizens. And by the way, all of this is very well documented. Donald Trump was absolutely right that these countries south of the border are not sending us Their best of their brightest.

They're sending us the folks that came out of the wazoo of the country south of the border. They're sending us the criminals. They're sending us very bad people who are causing great unrest in this. Country.

So, my question to the Republicans, and we know what the Democrats are going to do. The Democrats. The Democrats understand they're losing their power base. And what is the power base in the Democrat Party? It is the black American voter.

That's their power base. Lyndon Johnson laid out the ugly, dirty scheme to make sure that blacks always voted Democrat. And it is well documented, and you can research it. You can Google it for yourself. I don't want to rehash it here today.

But I will say this. I think many black Americans are finally rising up and they're saying, you know what, we've been giving this a go for 50 some odd years now, and it is not working.

So we're going someplace else. And the Democrats, the party leadership, they get that.

So now they need a new power base, and that's why they're bringing that power base across the country across the the southern border, and they're depositing them in cities all over America. And we are watching our nation be destabilized as a result of this. And I'm not talking about just the crime. I'm talking about the economy, the impact this is having on our school systems, on our hospitals, our health care systems. All of our public agencies, we all have to pay for this.

And you may not even know that you're paying for it, but you're paying for it. Trust me on this.

So, anyway, it's a mess. And the Democrats, they don't see this as a problem. Cut number 11. My Republican colleagues claim that the border is open. Is the border open, Mr.

Secretary? No, it is not. How can you sit there with a straight face and lie like that? I just don't get that. Sheila Jackson Lee, also weighing in, cut 10.

So would you say, having been asked this over and over again, that the United States, the President of the United States, the Secretary of Homeland Security and all of the hardworking men and women at the border have operational control or have a form of of presence. That they are aware of what's going on in the border and that they're working to secure the border every single day. As we define that term, Congresswoman, we do. If that border is secure and if Homeland Security has operational control, then you also have to believe that Hunter Biden is sober. 844-747-8868.

President. Now, if you can do something about the hemorrhoids, yes, Mr. President, can you cure the hemorrhoids? Be God. What about the ingrown toenails and the corns, Mr.

President? Hmm. Ladies and gentlemen, what a crazy, is it not a crazy time in Washington, D.C.? I mean, Grace Baker, did you ever imagine that a president of the United States would miraculously cure cancer? I never thought I'd see the day.

And we did get a text message from one of our faithful listeners. I don't identify them because they're dealing with some medical issues, but they said, Todd, what about hemorrhoids?

Well, is it possible that they could fly to Washington and President Biden could lay hands on the roids? Hallelujah. And just exercise them off of the body? I don't know. Oh, my gosh.

Hey. Clearly, anything's possible. If he can cure cancer, he can cure anything. He ought to do like a T V show, like one of those you know, one of those revival shows where the people come and they whap him upside the forehead and cause brain damage, and then the people fall out. You've seen those.

Right, those are the the faith preacher healer people. I've seen it. Oh my word. When pigs fly. Indeed.

What an idiot. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Can I just, I don't want to be conspiratorial here. Grace, I've got to get your thoughts on this.

So at the same day, the same day, everybody knew when this was going to happen, the same day. That Hunter Biden was going before the judge, and you know, everybody's focused on Hunter Biden right now, right? The same day that was happening, they scheduled a hearing on Capitol Hill. About UFOs. I know.

And Grace. The line was out the door of the Capitol with people waiting to get in. Isn't that so interesting? It's interesting. I was scanning the crowd, and you know who I spotted.

In the crowd, not E.T. And not the little green men, James Clapper.

So you know something is up when you have got James Clapper in the room.

So here's the deal. There was some testimony just mere moments ago. Congress babe Nancy Mace was questioning an eyewitness. Who has knowledge of first hand knowledge of these UFOs, these unidentified flying objects. And this is some bizarre stuff because we've had Congressman oh my goodness, our frie friend from Tim Burchett from East Tennessee.

And Tim Burchett says that he's seen the evidence. He he says it is a dangerous thing. There are aliens and they're smarter than we are and we're in trouble. And we've, how many times have we heard him say this? Yes.

So he's either pulling a fast one on the entire nation. Or he's really serious about this. And I think he's really serious about it. I do too. And if he's not, well, you know, we can deal with that later.

But I think that he is. I think he is too. And actually, he's joining the show tomorrow, so we can ask him to get this hearing today. I love it. Very interesting.

There is some crazy testimony coming out, and we're going to play some for you. This is an eyewitness. saying that they have a crash they've they've found the crash site. And that there were Non human bodies found at the crash site. Take a listen.

With intelligent extraterrestrials. It's something I can't discuss in public setting.

Okay, and I can't ask when you think this occurred. If you believe we have crashed craft, as stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft? As I've stated publicly already in my NewsNation interview, biologics came with some of these recoveries. Um Were they I guess human or non-human biologics? Non-human.

Non-human. We cut it off. It was non-human. We're going to play this again when we come back. Non-human.

So, a very, very simple question here: Do you believe there are aliens? When the government used emergency edicts during COVID to restrict the gathering and worship of churches, three pastors facing the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines, and their own churches being ripped apart take a courageous stand and reopen the doors in the face of a world that has chosen to comply. The Essential Church is a feature-length documentary that explores the struggle between the church and government throughout history. The story uncovers those who have sacrificed their lives throughout history for what they believe in. Rediscover why the church is essential and how we prove that this stand remains true from a scientific, legal, and most importantly, biblical perspective.

This is not your typical movie, it will change your life. You need to take your friends and family and go see this movie. It comes out in theaters Friday, July 28th. Get your tickets now. Go to essentialchurchmovie.com to get your tickets today.

That's essentialchurchmovie.com. Essentialchurchmovie.com. All right, I want to go back here and we're going to replay this audio from. Capitol Hill, just a few moments ago. The hearings, there's a congressional UFO probe underway, and this is some bizarre stuff.

So and understand all this testimony you're hearing, it is a federal crime to lie to Congress.

So if these guys are being dishonest, if they're not telling the truth, then you know what, they deserve to go to prison. Because uh what they're telling us is is downright insane. And it could cause a panic, I guess. I mean, if this is actually true. And the same with all of these lawmakers, including.

Tim Burchett from East Tennessee, the congressman. If if they're lying to us, There needs to be some sort of a penalty here. Because this is a big deal.

So, as it now stands, you have elected lawmakers on Capitol Hill who say they have seen the evidence. You have a lot of former military personnel, including the guy who's testifying, and his name is David Grush. And he is an Air Force officer and an intelligence officer. And he said that he has been given first-hand information about all of this.

So, let's take a listen to the QA. With intelligent extraterrestrials. Something I can't discuss in public setting.

Okay, I can't ask when you think this occurred. If you believe we have crashed craft, stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft? As I've stated publicly already in my NewsNation interview, biologics came with some of these recoveries. Um Were they, I guess, human or non-human biologics? Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to that are currently still on the program.

And was this Documentary references, video, photos. eyewitness, like how would that be determined? the specific documentation I would have to talk to you in a skiff about. Gotcha.

Okay.

So, and you may or may not be able to answer my last question, and maybe we get into a skiff at the next hearing that we have, but who in the government either, what agency, sub-agency, what contractors, who should be called into the next hearing about UAPs, either in a public setting or even in a private setting? And you probably can't name names, but what agencies, organizations, contractors, et cetera, do we need to call in to get these questions answered, whether it's about funding, what programs? We're done. We're done. Yep.

Thank you.

So the whole point of that was the non-human stuff.

So, ladies and gentlemen, when we are talking about non-humans, we are talking about aliens, right? That is what we are talking about. The non-humans.

So my question. Is this a big deal? Are you concerned that there may be aliens out there somewhere? And if so, what are they doing here?

Now this guy has testified that he has seen multiple crash sites, that he has seen that there have been alien craft that are intact, and there are alien aircraft that disintegrated or broke apart. And they've got the pieces of it. But it's all very strange to me. That all of this is happening on the same day that the rest of the nation is focused on the nation.

Well, what's happening with Hunter Biden? Or maybe, or maybe, this alien thing is just a roost to get everybody to focus on that instead of the what's happening with Hunter Biden. Do you believe there are aliens out there? And do you believe that aliens have visited Earth? I mean, is that even remotely possible?

844-747-8868 is our phone number. That's 844-747-8868. Very odd what's happening on Capitol Hill. But they're spending a lot of our tax money to figure all of this out.

So I don't know if these lawmakers are doing this to get their 15 minutes of fame. I don't know if these individuals like Air Force officer David Grush are doing this to get their 15 minutes of fame. If they're trying to pull a fast one on the rest of the nation. But do you believe that this is a real thing? Or is this some sort of idolo?

A Netflix documentary. Is that what we're working on here at Netflix documentary? Unbelievable. All right, I want to go back to this other hearing. And again, so many things happening in Washington today.

You have Congressman Mike Johnson, who has been ripping into my orcas on the border because I'm more concerned, quite frankly, about the illegal aliens coming across our border than the aliens coming in from, I don't know, Jupiter or Mars. Cut number fourteen. Secretary Marcus, we have the frustrating responsibility on this committee of providing oversight of your agency, but I have to be honest and tell you, I'm not sure exactly what you do at the Department of Homeland Security other than great harm. On your watch, the data is pretty clear. We've had record levels of illegal immigration, a rapid decline in deportations, skyrocketing fentanyl deaths across our country.

And the Secret Service, which is a DHS component, can't determine who left cocaine at the White House. It's true. They can't. They don't know who. I was on Newsmax last night, uh Carl Hib Carl Higby's show.

And uh he asked about that, and I suggested that maybe, just maybe, the Biden family dog commander actually ingested the cocaine. Yeah. And my theory is: I mean, this dog went out there and what attacked 10 people? It looked like it was on some sort of a, I don't know, a bender. I mean, I've never, I mean, the dog, Commander is the dog's name.

But it is possible that we were dealing with a cocaine bear kind of of situation, right? Where the dog was high on cocaine and decided to take out his aggression on the Secret Service. I mean, the way it was described in some of these documents where you had the Where you had the Secret Service agents grabbing furniture from the White House to fend themselves, to fend off the attack from the dog. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

So, to Congressman Johnson's point, they don't know. They still cannot tell you. Where that cocaine came from. And that's under the auspices of. The Department of Homeland Security.

Well All right, 844-747-8868 is our phone number. That's 844-747-8868. I have to tell you about our good friends over at Patriot Mobile.

When I grow up, I want to work for a woke company.

Like super woke. When I grow up, when I grow up, I want to be hired based on what I look like rather than my skills. I want to be judged by my political beliefs. I want to get promoted based on my chromosomes. When I grow up, I want to be offended by my coworkers and walk around the office on eggshells and have my words policed by HR.

Words like grandfather, peanut gallery, long time no see. No can-do. When I grow up, I want to be obsessed with emotional safety and do workplace sensitivity training all day long. When I grow up, I want to climb the corporate ladder just by following the crowd. I want to be a conformist.

I want to weaponize my pronouns. What are pronouns? It's time to grow up and get back to work. Introducing the number one woke-free job board in America: RedBalloon.work. I wish these aliens would.

take Biden and the corrupt Democrats and Bring them to their planet. But they probably don't want nothing to do with them either. They probably are afraid that they'd be uh creating some kind of alien corruption. That's just my thought. All right.

Thank you.

So, well done, you, sir. All right. I want to get to this audio from a country music star. This controversy surrounding Jason Aldean, it's not going away, at least not anytime soon. And Cody Johnson, who is a country music star, was in the middle of his show.

And I guess he, man, he's really freaked out about this and bothered about it. And so he said, hold on, guys, we're going to stop for a second. And I want to talk about what's going on here. And man, did he drop some truth bombs? Take a listen.

That's called patriotism. That's what everybody just got pissed off and chased it all. on the internet was patriotism. I'm gonna stand up here in front of all of you, and I'm gonna say, Jason, I live in one of them small towns, too. They better not come try that where I'm at.

You know what would fix all that? You know what would fix all that? And this might not be what you want to hear. What might fix?

So Is the next time you have an art? Argument about what's on the news. Out of the way. Stop watching the news. Because it's a bunch of lines.

You know why I said that? Because this is my microphone. I'm paying for it. I'll say what I want to. The next time you have an argument with somebody in this country about race, religion, or gender, any of that stuff, they try to.

I want you to do this for me. My physics. Them anyway. It's gonna be a tough pill for some of y'all to small. You know why you should love your.

fellow American anyway? Because before most of you were born, an American soldier gave their life for you to have your likes and disagree in the first place. Do you still believe that this is the greatest country in the world? No, so do I. Then, if you still believe in American patriotism, I want them to hear you all the way from Alabama down to Texas.

All right, good for you. Wow, that drummer's really getting after it.

So good for you, Cody Johnson. And, you know, a lot of other country music stars who are not woke are standing up and signing with Jason Altina. Man, I'm glad to hear that. Grace, I want to ask you a question. I know you like food and you like as much as the next person.

Have you had Skittles before? Of course I've had Skittles. Do you like the Skittles? They're all right. They're not my favorite.

The rainbow flavors. Yeah. Except during the month of June. The rainbow stuff, it's kind of weird. And then they do the white Skittles, right?

Is that when they do? Yeah. It is the white Skittles.

So they have no color. They have sour Skittles. Those are good.

Well, now they're about to sell something called mustard Skittles. Would you eat a mustard Skittles? Yellow mustard. Like, taste like mustard. No, not Dijon, French's mustard.

No, ew. Yellow mustard. Still, ew. No, thanks. You wouldn't do that.

I don't. I mean, would I try one? There's so little, I would probably try it, but. It doesn't sound appetizing. Like, who said that was a good idea?

Here's my concern.

So, you're going up, and there's a great big bowl of Skittles, and they're yellow Skittles. And so, when you see yellow Skittles, you would think. You could think bananas. You could think pineapple. No, no.

You could think yellow. Oh, yellow Skittles. Lemon. Lemon. Lemon.

I don't think of lemon.

Sorry. You don't think of lemon?

Sorry, no. I see yellow. I think of lemon. I think it's like a banana. A banana.

Yeah. Bananas are not yellow. I mean, the skin's yellow, but the. The flesh is white. There are, I'm sure, there are banana Skittles out there.

Okay, all right. I will give that. I will give you that.

So the mustard Skittles, the candy has partnered with Frenches and they're making a tangy mustard flavored Skittle. I mean, lemon is tangy. I don't want to go that route. It's all for National Mustard Day. Which is August 5th, if you were to put that down to the example.

Do you put them on a hot dog?

So here's the thing, and that's this is what I don't get. You're only going to be able to get the mustard Skittles at a mustard mobile. And this happened several years ago, back when we were doing the show in New York, and we had an intern from Penn State, this poor kid. We decided to send him out onto the streets of New York to find the mustard mobile and to try and they were not doing Skittles that year, they were doing mustard flavored ice cream. That's horrible.

It was as horrifying as you could possibly imagine. I bet it looked like dole whip, but it wasn't. Yeah, I mean, it was nasty looking. Ew. And you could smell it before you could see it.

I mean, it was really disgusting. I bet it had a bad aftertaste. I hope the kid had a good internship, but I think we may have gotten a negative review. I hope y'all were paying him well. No, we don't pay our interns.

Oh. It was the network, you know. They think you should be grateful to be in the building. That's journalism for you. It is.

It's terrible. Anyway, all right, that's it. Mustard Skittles. Mustard Skittles. Ladies and gentlemen, the top 10 reasons why you should send your troubled teenager to a military school.

This is pretty interesting, and I know there's a lot of, we've just got a lot of Hellions around the nation right now. And the reality is that many parents are just not doing their job. They're letting the kids run all over them. And when the kids get in trouble at school, it's always the teacher's fault. You know, little princess could do nothing wrong.

And now we've raised a generation of very bad people. There's really no way of saying this. They're just very bad people. Yeah, not great. The kids don't have any responsibility.

They don't know about responsibility. It's all about them. And the world revolves around. It's terrible. I mean, some parents are doing a good job, but most, you know.

I'm just telling you. It's not looking good.

So, here are the top 10 reasons why you should send your teen to a military school. Number one, discipline is sensible and appropriate. I love that. I think that's great. That's right.

Did you say whip 'em? Whip him into shape. Yeah, whip him into shape. Whip him. Whoop'em is the different words.

Whip him. No, not whip. I mean, whip is good. Whoop is woof. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Two different things. Um, number two, a military school gives its students many physical activities. A troubled teen is usually bursting with pent-up energy.

So instead of carjacking a woman, you know, you could, I don't know, make a birdhouse. Yeah. Or something like that.

Something productive. An arts and crafts. Take take up a hobby. It's number three, it's shape up or ship out at a military school. Any troubled teen who does not follow rules or work hard at school activities will be shown the door.

The pressure to succeed is on from the start. I like this. Here's another one. Every parent Wants their teen to mature and grow into a caring and responsible adult. And that's something to think about when you get older.

Is this child going to take care of me when I'm eating? I'm Joe Biden, right? I mean, it's true. Or are they going to ship me off to the you know the nursing home? Oh gosh.

That's terrible. Are they going to cook me meals? Like you said, send me off. Are they going to puree? Puree my food.

While a military school may not be associated with a church, there is a high emphasis on morality. Team leadership and following commands are part and parcel of everyday life at the school with a strong belief in doing the right thing. I think this is terrific. Academically a military school is strong. That's good.

And so you want your kids to go. These are all good reasons to send your kid to military school. Assuming they're not teaching the gender stuff at the military schools. I don't think they are. I don't think.

I don't have any info on that. I'm just speculating. All right. If your troubled teen is seeking a career in the military at a later stage, there could not be a better preparation for such a career than by attending a military school. All right.

That's good. That's good. Extracurricular activities are many and varied in the military school. Your troubled teen will spend their time working hard at their academic studies and equally hard in playing a sport or participating in worthwhile events. They won't have time for the video games.

I think this is great. Get the kids outside, some fresh air. You know, I I was not all that familiar with La Crosse. But it's more of a Yankee sport. But apparently it's picking up in the Southern.

It is. And it's a lot of fun. I mean, basically, they give you a stick and you go out and you beat people up on the field. Work out your aggression. There you go.

That's why I'm taking up golf, by the way. Oh, really? Did I tell you this? Oh, yeah.

So you're ready when President Trump calls you? I'm ready.

Well, yes, but I do need, I've got to find somebody to teach me how to play.

So I'm looking for a goth pro. Don't look at me. In the uh Mid-South. Yeah. We can find you somebody.

There's a lot of golf courses around here. A lot of courses and I gotta go get some clubs and all that. That would be a good start. Yes.

So we'll we'll see how that works. Anyway, I'm doing it because the doctor said it'll allow you work out some aggression. Hit those balls, Todd. I love it. All right.

I'm going to write little names on them. You know? I'm just kidding.

Alright, we gotta take a break here, folks. 844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern 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. All right. Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Storms Radio Program.

A lot of breaking news happening in Washington, D.C. and also in Delaware.

So the latest is that the Hunter Miden Pleet. Appears to B um Be done. But we're getting reports that they may be working something out. But the deal fell apart a few hours ago. Here is Catherine Harridge from CBS News just a little while ago saying that the deal was null and void.

All right, so we'll get to that audio a little bit later on. We said it, it was in that last batch I sent over, Catherine Herridge from CBS News.

Well, anyway, let me read to you from Fox News. They've got the latest intel. Prosecutors say Hunter Biden and the plea deal fell apart during the court appearance earlier today. And the feds have confirmed the president's son is still under federal investigation.

So the judge is wondering: okay, what's going on here? And what is that investigation about? Does it have any connection to what's happening with the investigation into the tax counts, the two misdemeanor tax counts, where he failed to pay his income tax? For two years on over a million dollars worth of a million dollars. Uh worth of taxes.

You and I would be going to jail for a very long time over that.

So, anyway, they're working through all of that, and we'll let you know. In spite of all of that, the Justice Department, in spite of the fact that Hunter Biden didn't pay his taxes and he owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes, even though he had a gun when he was not allowed to be in possession of a gun, they're recommending Probation. They don't believe that he needs to be spending any time in jail.

So we're going to keep you updated. We will keep you posted on any developments there. It is a sweetheart deal. And, ladies and gentlemen, it is further evidence of what Donald Trump has been talking about all along. And what has Trump been talking about?

He's been talking about the deep state. There's a brand new Trump ad, and it has infuriated the left. I mean, people are enraged. We're talking about Frank Lutz, who is the roommate of Kevin McCarthy. You've got the folks over at Fox News channel, Paul Ryan, they are furious about this new ad that the Trump campaign just released talking about the deep state.

Take a listen, cut number two. If I was the deep state and I wanted to destroy America... I would rig the election with a puppet candidate. One that was so compromised that they would never say a word about it. I would create a false flag that allows for mail in ballots.

I would be in charge of the ballot counting machines. I would create a false flag to blame all who question the results of the election. If I was the deep state. I would prosecute anyone. That went against me.

I would sue and prosecute anyone. That spoke up about the fraudulent election. I would use my powers to shut down all your internet businesses. Yeah. If I was the deep state, I would make everyone an example why you should never question a Democrat ever winning an election.

I would imprison my foes. I would use my corrupt DAs and blackmailed judges to destroy you. I would make sure all crimes I ever committed never happened. I would prosecute my biggest competition. I would make sure they could never run for office ever again.

If I was the deep state, I would convince everyone that Ukraine Nazis were good and women are men. If I was the deep state, I would own every politician that mattered. If I was the deep state, I would Would push my pedophilia ambition. on you. If I was a deep state, you'd question your sexual identity, but not the medical.

Yeah. If I was the deep state, you would fear to ever resist me. If I was the deepest Yeah. I would wish I was really the devil. If I was the deep state, I would say mission accomplished.

All right, there you go. That is the latest campaign video coming out of Team Trump. And I'm telling you, folks, that. He nailed it. Every single thing that was mentioned in that ad is true.

And the deep state is responsible. And it's interesting that only Trump has been able to craft that sort of messaging. By the way, things are not going well over at Team DeSantis headquarters. They've had to lay off about a third of their campaign staff this week. And then there's another horrible situation involving an aide who secretly created and shared a pro DeSantis video.

Now the guy who did this is his name is Nate Hochman, and I'm going to get to why it was a bad video in just a moment. But Nate Hochman is a speechwriter for was a speechwriter for the DeSantis campaign, also a former writer for National Review. And he created this. This video that had Ron DeSantis' face superimposed on an ancient symbol that was appropriated by the Nazis. And this symbol is still being used by white supremacists.

Unbelievable. So, anyway, the campaign wrote a statement saying Nate Hochman is no longer with the campaign, and we will not be commenting on him further. I thought it was interesting they named him. Normally, when something like this happens, the campaigns, you know, they have a little bit of grace and they just fire the person. But here, they not only fired the person, they also.

named him. And shamed him. I don't get it. That tells me you have an undisciplined campaign staff. That's what that tells me.

And we've been talking a lot about the campaign on this program for quite some time. And DeSantis is trying to get it. He's trying to get it worked out. By the way. Grace Baker, I forgot to tell you this news.

Got an email from Team DeSantis this morning. No. Oh, yeah.

So now they're wanting to come on the program. No. They are.

So we're going to bring them on. That's what we've been saying forever. He's been welcome since day one. The issue here with DeSantis And I don't think it's DeSantis. And I've I've been pretty I've been pretty Pretty steadfast in that belief that it's been his campaign.

And they want to pick and choose where this guy goes. And that is so flawed. You gotta send your candidate everywhere. Get him on CNN. Get him on MSDNC.

Get him on National Public Welfare Radio. Get him everywhere and let him stand up and fight and defend his beliefs. Yep, exactly. And if you don't, yeah, if you don't, you've got to make waves, right? That's the whole point of being a candidate.

You've got to set yourself apart. And now you've got Vivek Ramaswamy, who's out there. You know, now we know he's a, who knew he was a putting rap artist? Yeah, really. I saw that.

He was rapping Eminem. He does hip-hop, yes. Maybe just stick to politics. I heard the video. It was not very good.

It was slightly offbeat, and it was off-butting. Just a smith. But hey, give him credit. He's been on every show known to man. Everywhere, everywhere.

He's been on our show. Yes, he's been on our show. I mean, again, everywhere. And he's making waves. Yes.

So, and DeSantis has to do that because now DeSantis is not having to fight against Donald Trump. He's having to fight for his life against Tim Scott. And Vivek Ramaswamy. That's true.

So that's anyway. I'll forward you the email. I forgot about it. Please do. It's been a busy day around here.

It has been a busy day. Try to slip through the cracks. Do you have water yet, Todd? What's that? Do you have water yet?

No, I know. No. Still don't have water? Oh, good lord.

So we are what? Day seven, day seven, day eight. We still have a lot of water. I think tomorrow will be day seven or eight. And again, I will say this: unfortunately, the city I live in is mostly wealthy and it's mostly white.

And therefore, nobody cares about us. You're out of luck. It's just what it is. That's the nature of it is. If this had been Youngstown, Ohio, or Flint, Michigan, or, you know, I don't know.

Baltimore. Chicago. It would have been all over the news. You would have everybody down here, it would be a race issue. I just want to be able to press conferences.

I don't think there's been a press conference. I want to wash my dishes. That's all. Yeah, I'm not coming over to your place anytime soon for dinner. I'm going to wait till you have water at your body.

Don't do that. Yeah. And the problem is, and now we got another text alert, and they said they're going to be handing out water through Sunday. And I'm like, well, that's not good. That's not good at all.

I saw their testing the water again, and I'm just like, are they just going to keep testing until there's 0% diesel? It's such incompetence. It's terrible. By the way, I don't know if this happened nationally, but something weird went on with the power grid last night, where at least in three or four different states, the power went out. Yes.

It came back on. And then it screwed up the Wi-Fi. Everything was all messed up. The water pressure was off. And the water pressure.

But here's the thing. There are multiple power systems involved. And then there was word came down that the connections between NASA and the International Space Station were disrupted as well because of some sort of a power surge. Yeah, it's really weird with the UFO hearing going on today. Extremely weird.

I'm just telling you, extremely weird. Coincidence? I think not. Yeah, very weird. And apparently, we've got Comcast with our, we're in the process of switching out of Comcast, but apparently our phone lines have been down for the entire show.

Yes.

And so we were, that's why we haven't been able to take calls. It's very sad. Comcast needs to get it together. Yeah. Well, Comcast.

Comcast, you know, and we've reached out to their media relations people because something is not right here. It just something smells very fishy. That it only happens, we only have phone issues when we launch the show. Just want to point that out. I'm just saying, no, I'm not saying, I'm not accusing them of anything, but I'm just saying.

I'm not speculating. There might be some bias. Yeah, I think we got some progressives. working over at Comcast. But it only happens when we do the show.

Yep. Just want to point that out. All right, we've got to take a break here. 844-747-8868. I don't know why I gave out the phone number, but 844-747-8868.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back to the Todd Cearns Radio Show. We're going to keep you updated on the Hunter Biden situation. There is a brand new survey out from Monmouth University, and they do a pretty good job with their polling. Uh here is uh the latest.

Most Republican voters say Donald Trump is the strongest candidate. to face Joe Biden in the 2024 election.

Now the poll found more than two-thirds of Republican voters say Trump is definitely or probably the strongest to face off against Joe Biden. More than half of Republicans say they are not concerned about the criminal indictments that Trump is facing. By the way, Trump remains far ahead of his rivals for the nomination. Right now, according to the Monmouth University polling, Trump is at 54%, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is at 22%, Vivek Ramaswamy is at 5%, and then 3% apiece for Tim Scott, Chris Christie, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley. And again, I go back to this argument.

Why are you guys doing this? I mean, really, what. Does Nikki Haley really think she has a shot here? I mean, what's going on? But it does seem to me.

That there's got to be some way to work out all of this between Trump and DeSantis. And if nothing else, DeSantis would make a fine attorney general in a Trump administration. and I think DeSantis would be very effective in that position. if DeSantis did not want to be, say, for example, Vice President under Trump.

So if that's the case, what are we looking at here? A Trump Scott ticket, where you've got Florida and South Carolina, a couple of the early states in the primary process, They would certainly pick those states up. But again, it's uh I don't understand why Mike Pence and Nikki Haley are still in their stories. They're squandering money. It's just it's a waste of time, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a complete waste of time. of time. All right, I want to play some audio here. Back to this hearing. Where Congressman McClintock out of California has a question for Secretary Mayorkness.

About the number of illegals that he believes should be admitted into the country. Cut fifteen. Mr. Secretary, what is the maximum number of illegal migrants you believe we should admit into this country? Congressman, it is our responsibility to enforce the laws that Congress has passed, and that is indeed what we are doing.

Individuals who do not have a limited legislation. Yes or no? Congressman, individuals. uh who make a claim for relief under our laws and who do not All right. And then you've got Congresswoman Jayapaul interrupting Mayorkas when he was testifying about the whereabouts of these people on the terror watch list, cut number twelve.

By definition, Mr. Secretary, if you are on the terrorist watch list, you represent a threat.

So 140 people on the terrorist watch list so far this year. For the record, would you please give us the status of each of those individuals so we know what you did with people who were on a terrorist watch list, who were apprehended, many got away, but were apprehended, where they are today, so that Congress can know. Congressman, I would be pleased to provide you with that information with respect to the individuals encountered at the Southwest border. Thank you.

I yield back. The gentleman yields back, but could the Secretary answer that question, what is the status of those 140? Mr. Chairman, I think. Mr.

Chairman, what is the point of order? Gentlemen, Lady, state a point of order. Mr. Chairman, under what authority are you speaking right now? Whose time is it?

Are you being recognized for five minutes? I was just asking what I thought would be a question that a member of Congress would want to know. I will do it on my time or someone else's time. I appreciate the point of order. If he had asked the question and there wasn't an answer to the status of the 1400.

Mr. Chairman, the witness provided an answer, and if you want to. I don't think he did it. I will do it on my time. That's fine.

I can recognize the gentlelady from California. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. All right. What a mess that is.

So, um Want to share this story, and this is a terrible story out of Franklin, Tennessee. Uh this is In the Nashville suburbs. This is a very affluent. area of um of uh Nashville. A lot of country music stars live in this area.

Sixty-three-year-old soccer coach. Camilio Hurtado Campos. from Mexico, an illegal He has been arrested and he has been charged with drugging and sexually abusing. 10 young boys. the boys ages nine to seventeen years old And this man was an illegal.

alien. He should not have been in the country. The lead detective in the case testified yesterday at a hearing, and the details are gruesome. I'm not going to share these details with you, but. The way they cracked this case, the guy was at a pizza joint and and left his cell phone on the table.

And so the cell phone was unlocked, and somebody they were looking through the pictures to see if they knew who this guy was. And when they did that, They discovered all of these videos. of the suspect attacking these boys. This man Again, an illegal alien. And now we have all of these young American boys.

whose lives have been forever changed by this evil monster. And the question is, who's responsible here? Yeah, I get it. I get that the illegal alien is responsible. This vile monster.

I get it. And he needs to get the death penalty. And his death needs to be very swift and, quite frankly, very public. To send a message. To other would-be predators, that this kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated in America.

But it seems to me that the people in charge of our border. People like Alejandro Mallorcas and those people, those are the ones that need to be held accountable. If they're not going to secure the border, if they're going to allow these evil monsters to cross our border and do harm to our kids, Somebody in government needs to pay a price too. This is just sick, just absolutely sick. All right, let me uh see if I can uh Explain what's going on here with this Hunter Biden.

situation.

So the plea deal fell apart. It's done. It's gone kaput. And now instead of pleading guilty, Hunter Biden pled not guilty, which means we will have a trial.

So there will be a trial on all of this. The Justice Department prosecutors say that Hunter Biden is currently under investigation for other crimes. And that seems to be the issue the judge has here. She's saying none of this makes any sense to her. And I don't think it makes a lot of sense to anybody.

The judge did not accept the plea agreement. She questioned the constitutionality of the agreement and specifically the diversion clause and the immunity Hunter Biden would have received.

So the concern was that Hunter might have been given immunity for crimes that he committed that were not a part of this current tax issue. According to Fox News, the judge pressed federal prosecutors on the investigation and questioned whether there was a possibility for future charges. and the prosecution or the prosecutors Said that Hunter was under active investigation, but would not answer specific questions about what the President is being investigated for. It's a mess, and this is good news for all of us who are wanting justice to be served here. All right.

Had the opportunity to hang out with our good buddy Carl Higby over on Newsmax, and they were kind enough to send us over an audio file of our back and forth. I do a lot of hits with Newsmax, and they're doing a great job. Their ratings are getting bigger every single day. And take a listen to our interview. If Well, much like his owner, it seems like Joe Biden's dog commander has got some anger issues.

Now, with the DHS revealing over 10 attacks by the German Shepherd on officers and agents of the Secret Service, you know, the good guys. I don't know, maybe the cocaine belonged to that dog. Take a look at this document: nearly 200 pages of emails containing proof of the very thing that Joe Biden denied. The officer received a friendly soft bite. In another instance, the dog jumped on OFC tech and bite at arm wrist area.

Look, some of the officers received bruises, others were hospitalized, and one was even put on restricted duty status for a little while. Here's a tip, Joe. Maybe consider, I don't know, like a group anger management session for the whole family.

Well, for more on this, I'd like to bring in Kira Davis, the author of Drawing Lines: Why Conservatives Must Begin to Battle Fiercely in the Arena of Ideas, along with Todd Starn, CEO at the Starnes Media Group, host of the fantastic Todd Starn show, and author of Cultural Jihad: How to Stop the Left from Killing a Nation.

Okay, so Kira, I sit here looking at this, and Joe Biden is saying, or the Biden administration, oh, it's not that bad. They swept it under the rug. It's like, this is the second dog they've had a problem with. Yeah, this is the second first dog that's been a problem for the White House. And I just wrote about this today at my sub stack.

And one of the family has fostered dogs for years. We fostered rescue dogs. You get a lot of hard cases when you do that. And one of the things I've learned is that your dog is a reflection of you. If you're hyper, you're going to have a hyper dog.

If you're mean, you're going to have a mean dog. And I don't think that it's out of bounds to say that now that they've gone through two dogs that are clearly a problem in the White House, I do think it's indicative of a larger problem with the Biden family. And I mean, you know, let's point to Hunter Biden as well. I know that kids make their own decisions apart from parents, but we're all the result in some respect of our environment.

So it's clear to me that something is very wrong in the Biden family and it's being reflected in these dogs. Todd, I think dogs are generally pretty good natured. I have a dog. I have a short-haired pointer and never had a problem with any of my other dogs. Maybe it's a reflection of the one common denominator.

The man in the oval. Could be. You know, it's interesting. I did read those crime scene reports involving Cujo, and I noticed something very interesting, Carl. If you replace the name Commander with Hooker, I think you get Hunter Biden's transcript from the laptop, according to some of the behavior, allegedly.

But what I find fascinating here is you've had, what, 10 people that have been attacked by this dog? I mean, some of the stories where the Secret Service agents were literally having to use White House furniture to stop the attacks and to fend themselves and protect themselves from this dog. Remember the movie Cocaine Bear? I'm with you, Carl. I think maybe that cocaine may belong to the dog.

It could have been. All right, so check this out, though, Kiera. This gets even weirder. In an attempt to stay relevant, I guess, this virologist, Professor Peter Hotez, he's an MD. He went on, obviously, on Joe Rogan, was made famous there.

He said, anyone worried about a post-Barbie box office COVID bump? We'll probably never know since no one seems to be keeping track of such things anyway. Dude, come on, let it go. COVID's over, right? Oh my gosh.

I swear. I mean, yeah, of course. Hey, first of all, to answer your question, yes, COVID is over. It's been over for quite a while. It was probably over before it even began.

That being said, I swear there are people out there who really don't want it to be over. They miss the control. They miss being right. You know what I mean? They miss the idea that they have all the good opinions and the right opinions and everything that they're thinking is saving the world.

And of course, now we know that a lot of what they believed and what they were thinking is totally, in some cases, dead wrong.

So there's just some people like hanging on to this COVID thing. What a miserable way to live. They love that power. Put your mask on. But she was talking about power and censorship and control.

According to a Pew Research survey, 65% of Americans support tech companies, Todd, moderating false information online, and 55% support the U.S. government taking these steps. Are you kidding me? Yeah, look, that's a great point. And by the way, the only people in Memphis, the guys going to see the Barbie movie, they were wearing masks just so people couldn't identify them.

It had nothing to do with COVID. This is a serious issue here we're talking about, Carl, with this attack on free speech. There's another study out of North Dakota State University where a majority, an overwhelming majority of college students believe that capitalism is flawed and also that there should be limitations placed on free speech. This is what happens when you turn these public school classrooms, taxpayer-funded classrooms, into really indoctrination centers where they're spewing this radical, pro-socialist, pro-communist propaganda. And you get these sorts of surveys out there where they literally are trying to silence dissent in America, and they're being pretty successful at this.

Yeah, we have this really old document. I think it rhymes with the Constitution. Congress shall make no law. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy.

Kira Todd, always a pleasure. All right. Well, that was fun. We always enjoy those moments.

So be sure to watch us. Usually we're on Thursdays on Newsmax TV. A lot of fun. All right. Got to take a break here, folks.

Got to tell you about our friends at Newsmax, by the way. They have been promoting an incredible new book written by our good buddy David Horowitz.

Now, President Trump says America is facing a final battle in the 2024 presidential election. And this book really does expose what the far left is up to. David warns of the deep state efforts to stop Donald Trump, and he explains how they're going to do that. He also names names. Including people like George Soros working behind the scenes to change America forever.

And President Trump says you need to read this book before the next election because it may be the last.

Now, the Final Battle is available at bookstores everywhere. It's already an Amazon bestseller. And you can check out the free offer from Newsmax at this website. Write it down: finalbattle611.com. That's finalbattle611.com.

You're going to be able to save almost $30. Get the book for free. Finalbattle611.com. Yeah. All right.

Well, the good news, apparently, Comcast has restored the outage.

So our phone lines are up and running again. 844-747-8868. That's 844-747-8868. So we will get to your calls momentarily. And we will take your calls on Hunter Biden, the aliens, and whatever else we were talking about this hour.

I do want to play some audio. This is Catherine Herridge from CBS News explaining. And by the way, Catherine's one of the good gals, good guys in journalism. Here's what she had to say about Hunter Biden. There was a huddle between the parties and they are trying to forge some kind of deal that the judge will like and that both parties can agree to.

It may not be the same deal exactly that they came into court with, but they're trying to salvage what the judge feels, it seems, was a deal that was just a little bit too subtle for her and one that mixed apples and oranges in a way that she believes was not fair to Hunter Biden. Because at one point the judge asked the prosecutors, is there still an ongoing investigation? They said yes. She said, well, how can he plead guilty to part of an investigation when it's still ongoing? All of that, as you can tell, a lot of legal back and forth.

It does look like things are back on track. But the bottom line, this Hunter-Biden plea deal, which was expected to be a routine matter, wasn't and may still be in jeopardy. There was a huddle. Let's go to the phones. Doug and North Carolina, WSIC, our great affiliate there.

Hi, Doug. What's on your mind today? mister Stearns, thank you very much for taking my call. And uh may you uh maintain good health. For a very long time, because we need you out there, brother.

Well, thank you for that, Doug. Appreciate it. Yeah. Uh my comment was uh on the uh uh the alien thing. Um I I read an article a long time ago in a magazine called Omni.

And they proposed A one per cent rule. That's If you take just our galaxy alone. which I believe is called the M3. Uh And it's just a pinprick. In the area of the universe.

In our Galaxy Alone Yeah. Cakes. the planets that we know It can support life as we know it. Uh, from the Hubble telescope and all that. Uh and then you take one percent of those In our galaxy alone, there are about fifty thousand planets that can support life.

As we know it. which is a carbon oxygen based life. There could be other forms. But fifty thousand planets in our little pinprick of this universe. Anybody who thinks that there are not intelligent life forms out there other than ourselves.

Uh is living in a fantasy world because They are there. They can't figure out what's wrong with us because we're somewhat intelligent. Mm-hmm. We want to kill each other all the time. They don't understand that, so they're keeping their distance rightfully.

So it makes no sense to me, Doug. None of this really does. If, in fact, they do have these spacecraft, let's see it. Let's see the evidence. Why do we have to have the mystery?

And there's really no need for that. As a matter of fact, if, in fact, there are these alien beings out there and they're as dangerous as Congressman Tim Burchett seems to think they are, we need to know that so we can figure out how to protect ourselves if more of their pals decide to come back to planet Earth. It's just beyond me why people are so super secret about all of this. If they're there, they're there. If they're not, they're not.

Yeah, well, I agree, Todd, it's it's like I don't understand it either. They've got all the evidence they need at Area Fifty One. Let me tell you, they've got spacecraft. They've got alien uh bodies. They've got everything.

But Their technology is so far superior to ours They can't figure it out.

Well, it's fascinating. All right. Well, Doug, appreciate the call, and thank you for those kind words. And, uh, Again, folks, the question is. Do you believe there are aliens out there?

I mean, I'm more concerned about the illegal ones coming across our border. But you never know. Maybe we ought to be concerned about whatever's coming across the horizon. Eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight is our phone number. That's eight four four.

seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. But it was amazing if we could go back to Nancy Mace. just a few moments ago, Nancy Mace talking and asking questions in this hearing. And the guy said, yeah, we found nonhuman bodies at the crash site. With intelligent extraterrestrials.

Okay.

something I can't discuss in public setting.

Okay, and I can't ask when you think this occurred. If you believe we have crashed craft, stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft? As I've stated publicly already in my NewsNation interview, biologics came with some of these recoveries. Um Were they, I guess, human or non-human biologics? Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to that are currently still on the program.

And was this documentary reverence, video, photos, Eyewitness, like how would that be determined? the specific documentation I would have to talk to you in a skiff about. Gotcha.

Okay.

So, and you may or may not be able to answer my last question, and maybe we get into a skiff at the next hearing that we have, but who in the government either what agency, sub-agency, what contractors, who should be called into the next hearing about UAPs, either in a public setting or even in a private setting? And you probably can't name names, but what agencies or organizations, contractors, et cetera, do we need to call in to get these questions answered, whether it's about funding, what programs are happening and what is out there? I can give you a specific question. Cooperative and hostile witness list of specific individuals that were in those. And how soon can we get that list?

I'm happy to provide that to you after the hearing. Super. Thank you.

And I yield back. All right. So again, folks, I don't know. I don't know if there are aliens. That is beyond my realm of understanding.

But what I can tell you is this. What's happening up on Capitol Hill right now is either a false flag event meant to keep our minds and attention elsewhere. Or there really is a big problem here, and that the military does have all of this evidence. Let's go to Steven, Arkansas. All right, Steve.

You know, these aliens normally show up like over Arkansas. We get a lot of reports. I'm not sure why they like your state, but. Go figure. For all you know, Pod, I may be one.

Uh Leadership. Here's my look on it. I'm not really that concerned if they're aliens or not. I don't know if there are. If there was some evidence out there that aliens were trying to.

create viruses and release us release among us and kill people, I'd be more concerned. If there were evidence they were trying to Uh destroy our energy. Systems and set the quality of life back 100 years for the world, I'd be more concerned. If there was evidence they were trying to. Get us into a third world war and destroy ourselves with the nuclear weapons we have created.

I'd be more concerned. And I've got a whole list. I could go on the rest of your show. But hey. All that's being done by our own government.

And China, but yeah, fair enough. Oh, I like it. The way I look at aliens. I pray to God if they're up there they're angels, 'cause the only thing that our own that our only hope. If we don't straighten ourselves up, Is going to come from the heavens and God Almighty.

Well, Steve, well said, and always good hearing from you, sir. And you sound human to me, but if you're not, if you are an alien being, you know, live long and prosper.

So, anyway, we'll pick this up, folks. Hang tight if you're on hold. We're going to get to your calls. 844-747-8868 is our number. That's 844-747-8868.

Coming up, we're going to be speaking to. A gentleman who wants to represent Tennessee in Congress, and this guy is the real deal. He's a Navy veteran, and he wants to send Congressman Steve Cohen, the Democrat, send him home packing. We're going to be talking to him coming up in just a little while. Hang tight, everybody.

Hour three of the big show coming up next. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American. Odd stars.

Alright.

So this news just coming in for all of you Kroger shoppers. It looks like they're trying out an entirely self-checkout experience. They're turning one of their grocery stores into 100% self-check. self-checkout. And this drives me nuts.

This is the worst part about the grocery shopping experience because they don't give you any company benefits. You don't have access to the break room, right? But you got to do all the work.

So I look, I can appreciate that we've got lawmakers up on Capitol Hill that are wanting to hold these big hearings on UFOs and whatnot. But if we want to investigate we need to investigate the grocery stores. That's what we need.

Some why am I not getting paid? That's what I want to know. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Good to have with us from the great state of Florida, Congressman Greg Stuby. Congressman, if you hold hearings on Kroger's self-checkout lines, I will testify.

Okay, we'll put you down on the list. Thank you.

I will volunteer. I will take one for the country, Congressman. Look, we appreciate you coming on the show today. There is a lot happening up on Capitol Hill. And, of course, the breaking news of the hour, this plea deal that Hunter Biden had, the judge says, I don't understand this, people.

And so now we understand it's broken down and Hunter Biden pleading not guilty. Are you surprised? I want to get your reaction to what happened today.

Well, I'm glad that there is a judge that is willing to look at the fairly and question the prosecution and giving this sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden. Our chairman of the Ways and Means Committee yesterday, I believe, or the day before, spent as an amicus brief, all the testimony from the IRS whistleblowers that state that All of these crimes were committed by Hunter Biden, and they're not charging him for them. There were crimes that were committed in 1914 and 1915. And the Department of Justice slow walked those investigations so that the statute of limitation. Deliberately with toll so that the most serious felonies he wouldn't be charged with.

And now the federal government's prohibited from bringing those. Cases.

So it's nice that there's at least a pause to look at all of the corruption of the DOJ. In their investigation with Hunter Biden.

So hopefully. This thing will go to trial. And the American people and the jurors will have the opportunity to see all of this evidence. The challenge is you have a prosecution team It's in line with the defense team to try to give him the best. Sweetheart deal available because they're working together in concert because we have a completely politicized DOJ right.

No doubt about that. And the fact that the DOJ had this deal gone through, they weren't even going to ask for jail time. They were going to just let him go on probation. Any other American citizen would be spending hard time in jail, if not on the tax charges, definitely on that gun charge. Just a gun charge alone is a ten year mandatory minimum.

And they're just going to give him two years' probation for all of the tax crimes that he's committed and then the felony gun crime. I mean, it's absurd. You and I would not be treated with this type of treatment if we had had similar fact patterns. No other American would be treated similarly. And then you see what they're doing to President Trump.

The real President who should be indicted on corruption charges is President Joe Biden, but they're going after and using this politicized weaponization of the DOJ to make up crimes against President Trump to try to distract From the corrupt president that's currently inhabiting the White House. I've been paying very close attention to these polls, and of late they've been asking Republican voters specifically about whether or not these indictments are having any sort of an impact on their vote. And Congressman, I am pleasantly surprised that an overwhelming number of Republicans say, no, this does not bother us. We understand that this is entirely political. And it actually goes the other way.

Every time they indict him for some ridiculous crime that he didn't commit, and there's not evidence of it. Um his numbers go up. Because the the average American people see the corruption that is currently inhabiting the White House. the millions of dollars of the Biden family, Joe Biden now we have evidence of the five million dollars in this Ukraine Burisma deal that the President was a part of. You see all of this corruption and then you see his DOJ, Biden's DOJ going after President Trump On things like January 6th and the classified documents case when Joe Biden has classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette.

I mean, all of these things, the American people are smart enough to see there is two. Two systems of justice right now in our country: one for Democrats. and one for Republicans. And then you have the election interference. The number one opponent to take on Joe Biden on the Republican side next year is Trump, and his Joe Biden's DOJ is using their power to go after him and try to prosecute him and take him out.

It's unbelievable. And yet the mainstream media, they turn a blind eye to all of this, and they're not even covering the Hunter Biden stuff. It's just mind-blowing that they're going to be able to get away with this. And I'm really hoping that if you guys take control of the Senate, we take back the White House, do you think, Congressman, that we are going to be able to hold people accountable for what they've done here? Absolutely.

And we're going to, this Congress, this Republican House, isn't over. I'm working on an impeachment inquiry uh an impeachment resolution specifically on Joe Biden and the corruption charges. the public corruption charges, the bribery charges that we now have evidence on. I think there's so much overwhelming evidence on those fact patterns. And the instances that have occurred, the House needs to hold those leaders accountable.

Now, I'm not. I I understand the political process and know we need sixty votes to remove any of these individuals in the Senate, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't do it in the House and hold people accountable so the American people see can see exactly what's been going on.

So you're confident because I mean on Fox and Friends this morning, Steve Dooster was saying, well, you guys don't really have anything on Biden. Oh, there's a whole litany of evidence. The latest is Grassley's. Released, I think it was last week or a few days ago, about recordings that the FBI has and the form that the FBI has. Uh that Joe Biden was involved in the five The $5 million on the Burisma deal.

have that prosecutor fired. I mean, we and and you we have The the tape of him bragging about that. out there.

So there's a ton of evidence of crimes that have been committed by Joe Biden himself. You can't charge a sitting president, but you can impeach him on these crimes. All right. Well, Congressman, we're going to be paying very close attention to this. Glad you're all over the story, and we appreciate the great work you're doing in Congress.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me. All right, Congressman Greg Stuby on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. Yeah, I hope they get to the bottom of it. But, you know, the Republicans, they look, they hold great hearings, great. Great information, but I'm telling you, when it comes to holding people accountable, that's where we drop the ball.

So I really do hope that with people like Greg Stuby up there, I think we're going to be able to see some justice being served. All right, let's go to the phones here: 844-747-8868. A lot of you, the phones lit up once they finally started working again, and people wanting to weigh in. On this alien hearing, this UFO hearing that's underway up on Capitol Hill. Let's go to Joplin, Missouri.

Pastor Charlie's on the line. Hi, Pastor. How are you today? I'm doing very well, Brother Todd, and thank you for your program, and glad to hear Grace's voice as well. Indeed.

We we love it when she comes back home where she belongs. That's right. She belongs there. All right, Pastor, what's going on?

Well, I believe that these uh UFO people are demons. Like flat out, like evil demons from the pit of hell. Like that's exactly right. And they have the ability to create such a spaceship as they would want to, like that. And they can then dwell in or indwell out of a body that they would make if they want to.

So that's just my from a religious standpoint, that's what I believe.

So do you believe that there you know, and what is the I mean, you're the pastor here, Charlie. Is there evidence in the Bible of life? you know, outside of planet Earth. Uh Uh not particularly that I'm aware of. Uh There c there could be.

Uh of course there you got the three heavens, you know, you got Uh And so somewhere in between there, and it's a very vast, vast thing. It's it's huge. bigger than our telescopes will even let us know about.

So it's possible that there they could be some out there in the space area. But I I believe that uh These are at least, if not deemed demonically influenced, I would think. All right. Well, Pastor, we appreciate that intel, and I'm not sure that makes me feel better, that we may have demons flying around. Especially over Arkansas.

Why do they like Arkansas so much? I don't understand. No, I don't think it was because of Bell and Hillary, but it might, Grace. I don't know. Let's go to.

Jeff in Georgia, listening to us on W D U N. All right, Jeff, what's your theory? I believe that they are from another dimension. I don't believe they're from other planets. I believe that like the pastor said, I believe they're fallen angels And Angels has technology.

They got technology that would surpass ours.

So they are uh from another dimension, that's how they can phase in and phase out. And the reason they keep trying to cover it up is the closer that we get to the coming of the Lord. Things People try to cover up things that back up the Bible. Genesis talked about the sons of God came unto the daughters of men. If you remember that part.

And they took of all that they chose and people believe those was angels.

So that's what I believe they are, is they're angels. And they can phase in and phase out, and they just have really advanced technology. And I believe in heaven they have technology, advanced technology. Wow. So, Jeff, another dimension.

Maybe, I don't know, the fifth dimension? No, sir, I believe there's a spiritual dimension that exists side by side with ours, just like when we leave it, our body, we are a spirit. And to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And so we are a spirit, there's a spiritual dimension. That's here.

And the spirits, that's what they dwell in, but they try to get to this side. And uh that's what the things are about. You know, they want to influence mankind. I uh Well said, Jeff.

Well said. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Grace. I don't think Jeff got it.

I don't think he got it. He didn't get it. Yeah. Can we play it again?

So I do ride. Anymore. The fifth dimension, it's another dimension. You know, I think I need a Baptist martini. I really do.

844-747-8868 is our phone number. That's 844-747-8868. We're gonna fly. You look fabulous, America. You look fabulous, aliens.

They'll be right back, America. No, no, no. All right, let's go to the phones here. North Carolina, Patty on the line, wants to talk about the dog, Joe Biden's dog, Commander. Hi, Patty.

How are you? Hey, Todd, listen. I was telling Grace, I wouldn't be worried about the dogs. You need shots from Hunter and Brandon. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

You think so. You think so? That's no problem. You got to be careful. You know, the challenge is: you know, somebody comes in, and oh my gosh, call the medics.

They're foaming at the mouth. And you think you don't know. Is it the dog? Is it Joe? Is it Hunter?

We don't know. It might be Joe and Hunter foaming at the mouth. That's it. It could be. But that's pretty funny what you said before.

God didn't get it about the fifth dimension. I got it right away. Thank you, Penny.

Okay, all right. I knew I was a brain in my head. No, I knew you would have gotten it. That was pretty good, but you know what? I wanna say something to you about uh the Hunter thing.

I am so glad he's going to trial because I think he's gonna take daddy down. You think so? You really? You think he's gonna turn his? I think it's gonna come from his son.

I think the I think the son's gonna take him down. I think it's gonna be from Hunter. Hmm. This would be like the the T V uh the HBO series succession. Where the son does the father in.

I'm telling you, I'm I'm not you know what? Hunter is is not going to fall on his own. He's going to take somebody with him, and I think daddy's going with him. All right, Patty, you know what? If that happens, when we come to Statesville for the book signing next year, I'm buying you supper.

Oh, I love you. All right, Patty. All right, we're marking it down. Patty, appreciate you. Wow Grace Baker, this video you just sent me What's wrong with Mitch McConnell?

I don't know. He's in the middle of a presser and he just freezes. He does not look well at all in like 30 seconds.

So, yeah, this news just coming in, there is video. As a matter of fact, It looks like a couple of the senators now are gathered around McConnell, holding his arm. He does not look well at all. And he is now stumbling you know, he's stumbling. Um I don't, he does not look well at all.

No, he looks cool. He looks really pale, too. Who are the idiots? This is ridiculous.

So the man is clearly in distress. Yeah. We're talking about the Senate Majority Leader here, folks, who just held a press conference and does not look well at all. But who are the idiots? Instead of going up to helping him, are they taking up their cell phones?

What the hell is wrong with people? You know, put your damn cell phone down and go be a human being for a moment. and help the man. It takes them like a while to do anything. That angers me.

There are literally people off to the side, and they're filming it instead of going and lending assistance. You know who they are. I think they're some of the press corps. You know what? Be a human.

I know you're a reporter and you have no soul, but just for a moment, can you not embrace what shrivel of humanity you have left? And go and help a man for crying out loud.

Well, their motto is never let a crisis go to waste. Clearly. Unbelievable. All right. Well, we'll find out we'll find out what's happening with Mitch McConnell.

But um that is not good. That is not good at all.

So, uh We'll keep you updated on that. All right, let's go back to the phones. Let's go to North Carolina. Farah, what's on your mind? Todd.

Yeah. I want you to buy me dinner too. I'm a hundred percent I I'm hungry. I want some fried okra.

Now, I could do that. I'm just going to be feeding everybody. Maybe, well, you know what? We'll go to an all-you-can-eat buffet. How's that?

Well, I'm jealous. I'm from Statesville too. Here's the thing, Tom. Uh I'm going to say what say you, Todd? I'm going to turn it back on you.

What do you think of the illegals? Excuse me, illegals. Storming our borders. Do you forget? A resurgence of diseases that in our country have been eradicated years ago.

The answer is yes, I do. And I have been on the record about this for a very long time, Farah. And if you remember back during the Obama years when they had the surge of children coming across the borders, do you remember that? This was years ago. And the increase in diseases that had been eradicated here, they just came back with great gusto.

And that was the reason why.

So these illegals are bringing and again, they're not being checked out. They're supposed to be checked out, but they're not being checked out medically. They're just being released into the general population.

Well, have you no noticed, Todd, that I mean I read the news is saying that now we're seeing cases where young, especially the young Americans, Who's illness? Oh, mimic polio symptoms. It is, yes, Farah, and we're running late for a break here. But to your point, you're spot on accurate, and that is a grave concern. This does pose a health crisis on top of everything else.

So, all right, hang tight, folks. Got to take a break, pay some bills. We will be right back. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, we've got the video of Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader.

Up on our Facebook live stream.

So if you want to go to Facebook and you can check it out there. He had some sort of a medical episode. It looks like he was having a medical episode during this presser. He has lost a lot of weight. You know, he had that head injury, and he was out for months, and now he is back, but clearly he is not well.

Several senators rushed to his side and rushed. They were there, but they made sure that he didn't fall. And he just does not look very well.

So, anyway, pray for Senator McConnell, and we're going to get you more information there. You can watch the video of what happened over on the Todd Stern's Facebook page. All right, our telephone number again: 844-747-8868. That is our number. And we're very excited to have an in-studio guest here in Memphis, Tennessee, at our flagship station, KWAM.

His name is Antoine Bohannon, and he is running for Congress. And he wants to send Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen to retirement. And I'm very excited about his backstory. He is here with us. And Antoine, good to have you on the program today.

Good afternoon.

So I want you to take our listeners through your story because you served in the U.S. Navy and you've spent a lot of time, I mean a lot of time in the Navy.

So give us some background and tell us a little bit about yourself. Yes, uh twenty one years in the United States Navy, submarines. I was a supply chief. Born in East St. Louis, Illinois, and kind of raised between There, Memphis, and Little Rock, Arkansas.

So, you didn't stray too far away from the Mississippi River. Oh, no.

So, there you go. I love that. I love that. You know, you have really made an impact in such a very short time, you know, here in the Memphis area with politics. I think a lot of people are very excited about what you want to do, why you are running.

And again, you've got so much other stuff happening. You've got a beautiful family. Why in the world do you want to run for Congress? You know what? My wife said the exact same thing.

I just happened to be at a Republican meeting when they redrew the districting lines, and our party chair just happened to be speaking to everyone. And then he looks down in the audience and said, At least we have someone to run against Steve Cohen. And everybody's kind of looking around. And he said. Isn't that right, Antoine?

I was sitting in the crowd, so I was completely shocked. I got home and my wife said, What are you doing? You're supposed to be retired. I said, When people are pushed into pur purpose, you have to answer the call. And I think that's one of those moments for such a time as this, where we all have to stand up, good-hearted patriots have to stand up.

And we've got to step up to the plate. And you've done that. And I heard you speak a couple of nights ago. We were launching the White Haven Republican Club, which is actually a majority black middle-class neighborhood now. Yes, it is.

And community. And I was really impressed with the numbers of people who came out who said, you know what, Democrats, they've made a lot of promises over the generations, but they've never delivered. Yes, after 50 years of continual marching, talking about justice and equality, at some point you're going to have to say, show me something. And it hasn't been shown to the community.

So now we're kind of looking around and trying to figure out who's going to be there to actually help us. Being a chief in the Navy, I was always taught to put people in a position to succeed. In order to do that as a leader, you must first listen to the people and not be disconnected to the people and be consistently present where things are going on. It's called deck plate leadership. You mentioned that we were all at your speech, you said we're all in the same boat.

What did you mean by that? Uh, we're all in the same boat, of course, it's a nautical term, but what that means is everything affects us, we're connected. Shelby County has the largest district, which is 9th District, and it connects to everyone.

So, therefore, if the 9th District does well, then everyone does well. Prime goes down. Cost of living will go down because now you have more people contributing, so taxes don't fall on everyone else's shoulders, but we're equally carrying. high tides lifts all boats. There, of course, will be a presidential election tied into the big race.

There's going to be a lot of attention on that. And, of course, all the candidates are making their way through Tennessee right now. What are you looking for? Have you already decided who you're going to be supporting, or are you holding off?

Well, I haven't had a chance to decide. I have a 14-year incumbent. And so, all my effort, time, and energy has been focused on reaching people because there's 568,000 voters in District 9.

So granted, if I have time to come up and think, then maybe. But at the time, I'm just looking to win everyone's approval.

So you want that? Yes.

So you're looking at the congressional district there. What are some of the big issues in that congressional district that your folks are facing?

Well, currently, right now, is actually well-paying jobs. We keep saying that we're going to turn around and put people to work, but Purdue did a study that mental health wellness begins with at least having $55,000 a year. And the majority of the people that's in the area don't make that.

So we wonder why individuals don't get out to vote because they're too busy trying to put food on the table, clothes on the back, and roof over their heads, and daycare. Other services that they have to pay for. Our jobs as leaders is to put people into a position to succeed so they can be involved with a lot of our civics. I'm curious to get your take on the military and the Pentagon. Under the Biden administration, it almost seems to be a repeat of what happened during Obama's term in office when he turned the Pentagon into this social engineering petri dish.

And you were really trying to change the culture of the nation through the military. Have you seen that? And what are you hearing from your fellow veterans? That. One, that is not our concern.

Our concern is protection. both near and far, and to introduce other plans every four years of every eight years just isn't fair to a a fighting force that is designed to protect.

Okay, we have times for other things, but right now using the United States military to push your agenda is completely wrong. And I go back to the, you know, it's supposed to, you're supposed to blow things up and kill the enemy. I mean, that's really that is it.

Now, what we're doing is we've created dimensions. Uh in um amongst all All of the branches.

So now instead of concentrating on one foe, We're too busy fighting about what to wear, what to call each other, pronouns, and that right there leads to distraction and gets away from the basic of training. We're speaking to Antoine Bohannan, and he wants to be the next representative here in our part of the country in Congress, running for the district that is currently held by Steve Cohen, who is a radical progressive. I mean, the guy's really, he's an embarrassment. He's, you know, again, I get it. We're a majority blue, you know, we're a deep blue part of Tennessee, but the guy is just embarrassing all of us with his behavior up on Capitol Hill.

Mr. Cohen has been in office for over 40 years. I mean, that's in every elected position.

So I would think that he would have a greater understanding of the front line personnel, not individuals that are sitting in ivy towers, but those who are on the streets and their plight. Leaders must be compassionate and consistently present, not every once in a while. There shouldn't be an issue that you cannot drive through any neighborhood and call a local representative and say, Hey, I saw this. What do you need? One of the things I appreciate about Congressman David Kustoff, who is my congressman, is he is back in the district, probably more so than he's in Washington, D.C.

Of course. Ever since they redrew the line and split down 51, I have seen Congressman Kustoff more times than I can actually count. Whenever there is a national disaster, he's there. He's not phoning things in, he's coming to visit. Looking at everything and says, What do you need?

And that's what leaders do. All right, I have to brag on you because you and I have been at the same place before a couple of times. You were down at Mar-a-Laco. Yes.

What was that experience like? Wonderful. The kids loved it. Because those are experiences. If you think about it, so When I was born in East St.

Louis and I used to come back to Earl, Arkansas, they still had sharecropping.

So when I came back during the summertime, I actually had the chance to pick cotton. We got paid $21 a day.

So I go from picking cotton with family members in Earl, Arkansas, to walking the halls of the Pentagon to being at Mar-a-Lago. There's no other country on this planet that you are afforded the opportunity to succeed other than America. It's a great story. Did you have the meatloaf? Did you eat dinner there?

Yes, we did have dinner there. It was really nice. It wasn't the meatloaf. It was the steak. It was a good steak.

And we enjoyed ourselves.

Next time you go down, you got to try the meatloaf. I know it sounds weird, but it's his mom's, President Trump's mother's meatloaf recipe. Oh, yeah.

So we'll be looking for it. We'll be going back again in March. I love it. You know, you look at President Trump and the promise he made. To the black community in America.

And he went there. He went to the communities and he said, What do you have to lose at this point? Give me a shot. And I think a lot of people, that message resonated with folks. It did.

Unfortunately, we let the media overshadow that. And at that point, it kind of distracts away from the good that was done. He gave more money to the HBCUs than any other president. It's a good point. I get a lot of calls on the national show from White Haven, and they will tell me, I voted for Donald Trump.

I just don't tell people I voted for Donald Trump. But again, I think there are more people in black neighborhoods like White Haven who voted for President Trump, who actually share Republican values. They may vote Democrat, but their values align with the Republican Party. Are you finding that as you're out on the campaign trail knocking on doors? Yes, it's our cultural pressures, just like peer pressure, right?

Because we voted for the last 50 years, right? Grandmother voted Democrat, father, aunties, uncles, cousins.

So if you kind of tell people and view Off that path, oh, they look at you like, Like a leper, like, what what did you do? You know, my grandmother did that. She was a Methodist, and all the kids became Baptist.

So it was that issue with us. Yeah, but we all have the same views, why? Because. Even though people try to highlight the things that separate us, there are things that bind us. Economic improvement, educational improvement.

If we can just get away from the smoke and mirrors and just concentrate on those two fascists, we'll see that. We are all in this together, regardless of where you're at. I love it. We've got to take a break here. Can you stick around for a few more minutes?

Yes, I can. All right. Antoine Bohannon is with us. He's running for Congress here in the Memphis area. Give us a call if you'd like to have a conversation.

I think they're all run by Democrats. All right. 844-747-8868 is our phone number. And we are just honored to have Antoine Bohannon with us today. He's running for Congress here in Tennessee.

So if you want to go there, you can find information about the campaign. Antoine, I'm curious, Joe Biden, what do you think is the biggest issue surrounding the Biden administration right now? Leadership. In all honesty, for somebody who's been in an office in the Senate for thirty six years and then an eight year Vice President, you would think that he would have a smooth sailing as the Commander in Chief. I mean, how much rehearsal do you need?

It's a good point. You know, yesterday, though, he did announce that he cured cancer.

So that's we're celebrating that today on the program. Along with everything else of getting full scholarships to colleges and being the smartest person out of his class, and you can just add that to the list. Isn't it amazing? You know, when you look at his policies and how they've really devastated a lot of communities around this nation over the years, going back to his time in the Senate, this is a guy who has failed. I mean, he has truly failed, and now here he is the commander-in-chief.

Speaking of failure, he was the one who architected the crime bill. When he talked about crack cocaine and everything else. And if you have at least something that measures a quarter, then you would go to jail for five years and it was taken out of the hands of the judge. But yet they found cocaine in the White House. Can you imagine if President Trump would have had cocaine in the White House or if Don Jr.

would have had anything compared to Hunter Biden? That place would burn down. Or if President Trump, I don't know if he has a dog, but if he had a little dog that bit somebody, it would have been wall-to-wall news coverage. Wall-to-wall news coverage. And screwed.

Oh, my gosh. No, it's a great point you make. You know, when you're making the case for voters, I mean, this is going to be, this would be. The biggest upset, I think, in modern election history, if you're able to pull this off and defeat a Democrat here in Tennessee, what is it going to take to do that, to make that happen? Trevor Burrus, Jr.: One, to understand that as leaders, and this is a House race, so it's two years.

So if President, I mean, if Cohen doesn't get re-elected, guess what? He's still a multi-millionaire. He's going to go away and live happy. If I get elected in November of 24, guess what? 25 January, I'm there in Congress.

I come back during non-session timeframes. 2026, I'm running for office again.

So therefore, you have a chance to let me prove to you how hard I will work for you. Do you, what's that experience like? You're out there knocking on doors and you say, I'm a Republican. What do people normally say? What's that conversation like?

Well, one, they said, you're a Republican and you're black. I said, yeah.

So it takes them back. But then I explained the reason to them. I said, the only way to be able to get justice and equality is understanding who you vote for. And do they have your same values in line? And when you're talking about education and economy, that lines up with the Republican Party.

When you're talking about social programs, that lines up with the Democratic Party. But one has to pay for the other, and that's balance. All right, let's talk about your website, Antoine BohannonforCongress.com. What can people find there at your website?

Well, one, they would find out a little bit about what I'm actually standing for when it comes to items such as the border crisis, opioid. Also, how do we turn around and start making our economy better?

So, being in the military, I had a chance to travel all around the world. Bingo submarines, mainly Southeastern, South Asian countries. And what I found that supply and logistics post-e-commerce were behind the power curve. Here in the United States, we need to train our individuals about automation, coding, and quit leaving everything up to the HB1 visas. Great program, however, comma.

All right, folks, it has been a wild day here and a lot going on. By the way, I'll give you an update on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. He did come back to the podium, and someone asked if he was.

Well, let's just take a listen here. Could you address what happened at the start of the press conference and was it related to your injury from earlier this year where you suffered a concussion? Is that you fine, you're fully able to do your job? Mr. Lear, can I just get your Okay, that doesn't sound good.

All right, we're going to pay attention to that. We do need to have a conversation in this country about what's going on up at Capitol Hill right now. I mean, it sounds like the nation's most expensive senior adult retirement complex. And we got to get that figured out. All right, folks, it has been a good day.
