I love this American. Todd Starns. And hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Cearns Radio Program.
So very happy to have you with us today, and a lot going on. Wow. It is open line Friday. It is also September the 1st.
Now, in Memphis, Tennessee, our prefects for our phones here, 901.
So today is 901 day here in West Tennessee, and we have lots of different celebrations around the city. This is the time where we don't mind the celebratory gunfire. And normally, I think even the criminals take the day off.
So nobody's going to get a carjack today, fingers crossed. Today is also Open Line Friday. And here's what that means. A lot of times during the week, someone will call in and they'll want to weigh in on a topic. And if it's not the topic I'm talking about, we don't like to veer off.
We don't like to go off on a tangent.
So we encourage you to hold those conversations until Friday when we have Open Line Friday. And then you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. Ben Dieter's standing by to take your calls right now at 844-8444. 747-8868. That's 844.
Seven four four four four four four four four four four four seven eighty eight sixty eight.
Now I I want to start off with a with a story about about the big guy Joe Biden. Who now we know plans to mark 9-11 by being in Alaska?
Well, nothing happened in Alaska on 9-11.
So basically, Joe Biden is ditching the. The anniversary of the Muslim terrorist attacks by being in the state of Alaska. This is going to be the first time a President of the United States has memorialized 9-11 at a location other. Than the White House. Or In Pennsylvania or the Pentagon.
And it's quite frankly not surprising. And it is somewhat shameful that the President is doing this, but again, not surprising. And I want to explain why.
So, right after the terrorist attacks, and many of the younger members of our audience, they don't remember. What it was like during that time. I was actually on my way to the airport. I was flying to Waco, Texas, and I was covering a speech at Baylor University by Janet Reno. And Janet had caused a lot of controversy.
At the time, Baylor was a pretty conservative school, a Baptist school, and there was a lot of outrage surrounding Janet Reno speaking there, not just because of her politics, but also because of what happened at Waco. With the murders and the deaths of the people in the branch Davidian. Uh compound.
So there was a lot of controversy.
So they were sending me down there and I'll never I was driving, I was on Interstate sixty five heading to the airport in Nashville when the first the first word of the the towers uh being hit came came on through the radio. And of course, at that point, and I know this is hard for Dylan and Ben, I'm sure this is hard for you to comprehend, but we didn't have Facebook back then. We didn't have Twitter, we didn't have the social media, and most everybody did not have some sort of a cell phone. I mean, maybe you had beepers, some people had the blackberries, but a lot of people just did not have we did not have the technology that we have today where everybody is connected. And if there's a shooting in Kalamazoo, everybody's going to know about it within 30 seconds.
So there was just a lot of confusion. I remember veering off the interstate, and I was just trying to find a place that had a TV. And I pulled into the parking lot of a YMCA and jumped out of the car, ran in, and the lobby was just literally filled with people, some of whom had gotten off their the treadmills and were standing around and were looking at the screens. They had T V s in the lobby. And it was at about that time that the second plane attack happened at the World Trade Center.
It was one of those moments that is literally seared into the conscience of the nation. We all remember what we were doing on those days. We know where we were. We remember how we felt. And there was.
There was quite frankly a sense of horror that Yeah. When people just did not know what was going to happen next, and people were terrified. I think all of us were, to some extent. And then when the towers fell, the the horror turned into Anger. We remember that day.
But I also remember a few days later. When The media announced that they would stop showing the images of the planes. Flying into the buildings and then the explosions and the towers falling. They said, No, no, no, we don't want to carry those images. It's too hard for people.
They don't want to see that over and over and over again.
So we're not going to air that kind of stuff anymore. We're not going to do that. And a lot of people didn't understand what was really going on. You see, it was at that moment that the narrative of what happened on that day. Changed, and they were beginning to craft something else, and it took a long time.
But almost immediately, there was a righteous anger directed at the radical Muslims who waged jihad on American soil in the name of their religion. And I know that's really upsetting for a lot of people to hear, but on this program we deal in facts, we deal with the truth. and the truth is that Moslems waged jihad on this country in the name of the religion of peace. It really is that simple. And I to this day, I've always wondered why the you know, because again, we're talking about a group of men who did this.
Not every Muslim did this, but I don't recall tens of thousands of American Muslims marching in the streets to condemn what happened on that day. Maybe it did, and if it did, give me a call. Direct me to the stories, the photographs, and the video, and we will certainly share that. But I certainly I certainly didn't see That happening. Nevertheless, We believe that it was a group of radical Muslims who did that.
But the media didn't want you to know that. See, the media wanted you to move beyond that. As a matter of fact, almost immediately, the Muslims became the true victims of this, right?
So the attention stopped being on the people that lost their lives, and it started being on the Muslim faith because that's what propelled these men to do what they did on that day. And so they had to change the narrative. And they have been very successful at doing that. Just step back and think about it for a moment. Maybe one, two movies that have actually been produced about 9-11, and most of those movies have not actually been about the events of that day.
Isn't that interesting? I mean, with Pearl Harbor, how many stories about Pearl Harbor and movies and TV shows? You don't see that about 9-11. Which was the worst attack. On our nation's homeland.
You don't you you don't see anything about it, right?
So am I surprised that Joe Biden has decided to move on? No, not at all, because it was Barack Hussein Obama who said we have got to move on, and they wanted to scale down the memorial moments and the events of that day. I was there. I was there two days after the attacks. And the atrocities I saw, I will never forget.
The smells, I will never forget. I was there at ground zero, at the pit. I walked among the firefighters and the rescue teams. I was there. I was there when they broke grounds on the new on the new Freedom Tower.
I literally went up to the very top of the Freedom Tower in a rickety elevator as it was topped out back when I was at Fox News Channel. I was there, saw saw it first hand.
So there's this something I do every time nine eleven rolls around is that I've archived a lot of the footage of that day, and I will literally watch the live coverage as it happened. And I do that because I don't want to forget We can't forget what happened on that day. And it's a big deal when the President of the United States says, you know what? I'm not, yeah, I gotta go to Alaska. There's no reason for, there's really no reason for me to be at the Pentagon.
There's no reason for me to be in New York City. No reason to be in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. I don't need to be there. When you look at the Democrats, ladies and gentlemen, it's a pretty nefarious thing they are doing. They are erasing our history.
And that's what they want to do with 9-11. They've erased what happened in the eighteen sixties. When Republicans Waged waged a fierce fight. Fierce attempt. To save the nation from civil war.
You don't know anything about that, do you? They've erased all of the statues and the monuments. You see, it's our history, it's good history, it's bad history. But it's our history. It's who we are.
It's what makes us. We are who we are today because of what happened on 9-11 in 2001. You have to walk through a TSA checkpoint. That That stranger who is patting you down and feeling you up is and taking you to second base without your permission. That's because of what happened on that day.
So much changed in this country. Freedoms we gave up. By the way, under a Republican president. and something called the Patriot Act, which was incredibly unpatriotic. We surrendered our freedoms and some of our constitutional rights.
because we didn't want to be blown up in a jetliner. We did all that. But they want us to forget about it. And I say we can't forget about it. And here's the reason why.
Because something else happened on that day.
Something else happened. And they ought to be talking about this in the schoolhouse. Yeah. You see that something else that happened. was on another jetliner.
When those passengers figured out what was going on. They decided to fight back. And you know how they did it? They're on that jet liner. And they're clustered together in their seats on that plane, flight 93.
And they cast ballots. They voted. Can you imagine any other people in the world that would vote on what to do? And you know what? In that moment.
You had Republicans and you had Democrats and gay people and straight people and black people and white people. And when they learned what their fate was about to be, they knew that the towers had fallen. They knew the Pentagon was burning, and they knew what was about to happen to them. And they decided. to fight back.
They ended up. paying the ultimate sacrifice. They gave their lives.
So that others might be able to live. Yeah. We never knew the final destination.
Some said it was the White House, some said it was the Capitol building. But we do know this. They made the ultimate sacrifice that day. There is no greater love. That's what they say.
Such courage, noble valor. And the Democrats don't want your kids to know that story. The Democrats Don't want you to learn about the heroes of that day. They don't want you to know that in this country, we really in our hearts are not divided. That when push comes to shove, We're going to set aside our political differences and we're going to fight for the common good.
We're going to fight for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And the Democrats They don't want you to know that. They don't want you to believe that. They want you to believe that we just fight like cats and dogs all the time, and that's not who we are. R.
And that's the story we got to remember. And that's the story we've got to share with our children. and our children's children. and they must learn of the great evil of that day. But they also have to remember the great good of that day.
We must never Forget All right, we got to take a break. 844-747-8868 is our telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Starn show. Todd Starns here with my friend Elizabeth from Calatrin.
And some bad news, Elizabeth. Went on vacation, hit the buffet a bit too hard. Am I doomed?

So it's revving up your metabolism naturally.
So if you take one step forward, two steps back, that's totally okay as long as you keep moving forward with it. And then over time, you're going to notice that the cravings are less. You're overall just feeling better. You've got more energy throughout your day, even less joint pain, so you're able to move more.

Happy to have you with us today. Let's go right to the phones: 844-747-8868. Pastor Bob joins us from North Carolina, the talk station. Hi, Pastor. What's on your mind today?
Well I agree with you about everything you have said about nine eleven. I was pastoring in Maryland. The Sunday after that it was standing room only in our church. And Psalm ninety one was quoted daily. This is not the United States I grew up in, and sad to say, we have another type of 9-11.
that's trying to destroy our nation. We need to pray more for twenty twenty four. And we need some righteous leadership to rid this nation of the corrupt present corruption. Pastor, I'm curious. When nine eleven happened, did you notice a surge in church membership?
For church attendance? It did, but it's It slacked off. Sad to say. fairly quickly. We had another couple bring a baby into our church.
And rip rip rip. The hospital said, You can let the baby stay here, you can take it home Wednesday, it's going to die. It was brand new. And The next Wednesday, the next Sunday. the church was packed and that baby came back.
And you know what? That baby's. The pack I heard about that baby until it was eighteen years old. But About the second or third week, I never saw that child again in church. People only seem to act.
What's going on right this minute? And uh They need to start acting right now. And I've said time and time again, if the church would ever get together But The Baptists don't want to sit next to the Methodists. And, you know, it's just. I don't know why.
See, we're not. We're not competitors. We're both serving all of us are serving the same God.
Well, one of the things that's just bothered me about this is the commander-in-chief is MIA. He's supposed to be in Washington, D.C., or New York City, or Shanksville, Pennsylvania. But the President of the United States needs to be at those ceremonies. And I know that we are two decades removed. But we just cannot ever forget what happened on that day.
And it angers me that there is an effort afoot to do that. And quite frankly, some in the media now want to blame us that it's our fault that 9-11 happened. And I just find that quite offensive. Pastor Bob, appreciate that call. And thank you for listening.
844-747-8868. That is our telephone number. That's 844-747-888. 88.68.

In beautiful North Carolina. Hi, Troy. What's on your mind today?
Yeah, I'll Was coming out of California when 9-11 happened, and I stopped in the truck stop, and everybody was. glued to the television in the truckers' lounge. Yeah, no one was Um at gas race.
So I knew something was wrong when I First. approach the building. when nobody was around and everybody was glued to the television and we all were watching and Shock.
So like the preacher said before, I called in. We need to come together, united one nation under one God. And all the American flags were falling. Surely there are. after including myself and I still fly margins.
Just that. I've thought about flying it upside down. in the sign of distress because That's what we're in right now. State we're in. But no, I'm gonna keep my pride.
So I like. bright and shine a light on it at night. But anyway, it's just something that we all need to work together on. And we've lost sight of it for sure. is like a lot of things.
And hopefully, we can get mister Donald Trump back in office to help us get things back in life. as far as politics go. But as the preacher says, we as individuals, as human beings. And be under God. Because God is the only one.
that's going to keep us And Grace.
Well said.
Well said, Troy, and I appreciate the call.
Sorry for that bit of a phone hiccup there, but I think it's very well said. And again, folks, the Democrats want to keep us divided. They want us at each other's throats, right? And because in the chaos of the moment, they're going to be able to do whatever they're going to do to drive us towards socialism. That's what this is really all about.
It's unbelievable. All right. Got a question for you. And this is fascinating stuff. There is a um there's a mom out there.
And she's on TikTok, and she gave her son some guidelines on going back to school. Do you guys ever do this? I've often wondered how many parents are actually raising their kids these days. And I say that because There are a lot of juvenile delinquents out there. I mean, in Memphis, Tennessee, it's crazy.
It's insane. As a matter of fact, we're actually having a conversation. I know this is kind of a crazy conversation to have, but it's true. Would you rather be robbed? at gunpoint by a grown adult or a child.
And I was I'm always going with the grown adult because the adults just want your money, your wallet, by and large. They just want your money, they want your wallet. They want your keys. And if you turn it over to the bad guy, they're probably not going to shoot you. But those little kids, the little thuglings, They don't they don't care.
As a matter of fact, they would probably just shoot you so they could watch you die. I mean, we are raising There is a generation being raised. That has no soul. They have no moral compass at all. And so it it's really encouraging when I see a mom.
Decide, hey, we're going to set up some guidelines here. And I want you to listen to this mom. She's pretty awesome. She's gone viral now, and a lot of people say, yeah, this is the kind of parenting we need in America. Cut three.
So I just got the notice that my son's school starts up in a few weeks and now it's time for me to pull out the PowerPoint presentation on how the rules for backup school are going to go. Again, don't know if anybody else does this. This is just me. It is also entitled What We Not Gon' Do? 'Cause this ain't that.
What we are now gonna do is change up our stomach energy. You've been living on a diet of hot chips, chicken nuggets, and every popsicle and disgusting drink known to man without one stomachache. You're not about to come to me talking about my stomach hurt like you got the intestinal tract of a geriatric Crohn's patient. This ain't that. What we not gonna do is act like we can't wake up.
You've been getting up at six seventy-seven every morning. And yes, I said 677 because of some ungodly hour that doesn't exist. Asking me about some breakfast. This ain't that. What we're not gonna do is not prepare our clothes and our items for the next day, the day before.
I'm not about to have a slight heart attack trying to rush us out the door to get you in time for the bus. This ain't that. What we're not going to do is act like you ran out of supplies after the second day of school. I literally just spent $75,000 making sure everything on that list was there. You're not about to keep losing everything.
This ain't that. What we're not gonna do is tell me about reports, permission slips, and picture day packets the day before they're due. I'm not about to get my blood pressure up running around here to get all of these supplies or find an outfit or do a project into the wee hours of the morning. This ain't that. What we not gonna do is complain about the lunches that are packed for you.
Literally took you to the store and asked you if every separate item was okay, but then when I put it together in a lunch, that's nutritious, and all of a sudden it's trash. This ain't that. What we're not gonna do is, as soon as we get home, you're asking me 55 times: is dinner ready? I told you to eat the lunch that I provided, that you told me was okay, but now it's trash. This ain't that.
What we're not about to do is let me know, you still here. This ain't that. Well, there you go. You know, I'm curious, Ben Dieter, when Mother Dieter. Was raising you.
Did she lay down the law? Did Mother Dieter say, okay, these are the rules. You're going to abide by these rules, and if you don't, there's going to be you know what to pay. She did, Todd, until she broke her hand, and then that left it only to time out in the corner.
So I didn't get Spankins much after that. But she did she really did roll the home. But my dad was the enforcer of the laws. Everybody has a different dynamic. Either the mom's more, you know.
Lays down the law or the dad. In my case it was the dad though. Oh, yeah, look, uh we at Mom was the enforcer uh back when I was at Little Starns. And the concern I always had, and being from a small town, South Haven, Mississippi at the time was a very small town. And I'll never forget when.
The first McDonald's opened up in South Haven. You know, that was like a foreign concept. We were so excited to get the very first McDonald's in our town. This was back in the 1970s. And I'll never forget, Teter, I'd not been doing well in reading class.
And at the time, they didn't realize I needed glasses. But at that point, I was just not doing well. And mom and dad took me to McDonald's to get my very first little hamburger. And I'll never forget my third-grade reading teacher was there, Mrs. Folk, and her husband owned Honey Fluff Donuts, which was the great donut shop in town in South Haven.
And Mrs. Folk comes over, and I'm sitting there eating my hamburger and my little French fries. And I had a I had a milkshake. And I'll never forget misses Folk coming over and saying, Mrs. Starnes, it's so good to see you here.
Todd needs to do a better job in reading class. Mm. And I froze. I was like mid-bite, and I thought, oh boy, this is not going to be good. Thank you, Mrs.
Falk. Appreciate you. Interrupting McDonald's grand opening. to talk about my yeah, thank you for ratting me out. Did you get in trouble?
I got in trouble. I got I mean, so again, it's this idea of the teachers back in the day were like in cahoots with the parents.
So these days, the parents think their children are like God's gift to humanity, and the teachers are always wrong. But back when I was growing up, the teachers and the parents were kind of like working together. They knew that we would we could be little Hellions.
So wow. My d my dad Todd would actually go to the principal of this school every single day. Either pick up the phone or go into their office and say, I want to report. How was my son today? Wow, how bad were you?
I was awful, and I remember one time my elementary teacher, her name was Miss Bickle. PTSD there. She comes to the meeting to meet my dad after the school, getting ready to give the report, and she walked in with a paddle. And my dad said, Why why do you have the paddle, Miss Bookle? And she gave the report to my dad holding the paddle.
I ended up getting spanked right there. Oh, boy. Wow. So our rule was if you got it at school, you would get it at home. That was the double whammy.
The double whammy. And you always look, the problem was we had a no-nonsense principal at Hope P. Sullivan Elementary School. We had a no-nonsense principal, very nice person, but he laid down the law. And he would have a paddle that had these holes drilled in the paddle.
So you didn't get that cushion of air right before it makes contact with the buttocks. And so because of that, you know, you've got the air whooshing through it, and so you get the full force of the paddle. It was very unpleasant. You know if they tried that today. Todd, they that principal, those teachers, they would be hauled into 201 Poplar.
They'd be in jail. They'd be in jail. And you'd be on the you'd be on trial. You'd be testifying against the teacher, which I'm sure you as a young kid would love. They just attacked me for no reason at all.
I was a good child. Prosecute her. It's true. It's true. So good for this mom.
I think we need more moms like that, laying down the law. And not p and again, folks, you are parents. You're not supposed to be your child's best friend, right? You are a parent. Your job is to raise that child so they don't grow up to be a problem for the rest of us.
And Lord knows there's a lot of problems walking around right now. All right, got to take a break. This is Open Line Friday.
So, whatever you want to talk about, we're going to talk about today. Coming up, we're going to have a conversation with a Georgia state senator. He is enraged over the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp. And Brian Kemp is now doubling down, and he says he is not going to go after the district attorney down there, Big Fanny Willis. And he's going to turn a blind eye as she tries to destroy Donald Trump.
So, your governor, ladies and gentlemen, in the state of Georgia, do you really think this guy's a conservative? 844-747-8868. That's our number. 844-747-8868. We'll be right back.
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 co-workers 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. All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.
I want to play some audio. This is Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and he's weighing in on Big Fanny Willis and the fight over whether or not she should be impeached and removed from office. Let's take a listen. I did want to take just a few minutes to speak to some history that's trying to. repeat itself over the last few days here in Georgia.
Many of you will recall that in the final weeks of twenty twenty, I clearly and repeatedly said that I would not be calling a special session of the General Assembly To overturn the 2020 election results because such an action would have been unconstitutional. It was that simple. Fast forward today, nearly three years later, Memories are fading fast. There have been calls by one individual in the General Assembly. and echoed outside of the wall of these walls by the former President.
for a special session that would ignore current Georgia law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government. Up to this point, I have not seen any evidence. That D. A. Willis's actions or lack thereof warrant action by the Prosecuting Attorney Oversight Commission.
But that will ultimately be a decision that the Commission will make. Regardless, in my mind, a special session of the General Assembly to end. run around this law is not feasible. It may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional. The bottom line is that in the state of Georgia, as long as I'm governor, We're going to follow the law and the Constitution.
Regardless of who it helps, or harms politically. Over the last few years, some inside and outside of this building may have forgotten that. But I can assure you I have not. The oath I took With my hand on the Bible that's right behind me, in January of 23. Is the same Bible that I took.
and my inauguration in twenty nineteen. And in Georgia, we will not be engaging in political fear. that only inflames the emotions of the moment. We will do what is right. We will uphold our oaths as public servants.
And it's my belief that our state will be better off for it.
So let me explain why the Republicans will always lose if. If they keep electing people like Brian Kemp. Nice enough guy, seems to have done a pretty good job. I mean, the guy got reelected, and you folks listening to us in Georgia can attest to whether or not the guy has done an effective job governing, but he did enough to get himself reelected. But the problem here is that Brian Kemp does not have the courage to fight a fight that needs to be fought.
That's the problem. We're seeing this happen in Congress right now, where, and I really do hope that Jim Jordan is right and we are going to get around to impeachment. But if you listen to Matt Gaetz, he's not all that convinced. And Matt Gaetz is prepared to go nuclear and remove Kevin McCarthy from the speakership. If somebody in the Biden administration, specifically Joe Biden, is not impeached.
But the Republicans just don't have the stomach. For a fight like that. By and large, they would rather be perpetual victims than stand up and fight the bullies. And it's sad, but this is the reality of Way Ran. And that's why Brian Kemp did what he did.
If you listen to the speech, Brian Kemp acknowledges: yeah, there's a lot of stuff going down here that doesn't seem right. But he is not willing to take on Big Fanny. And the reason why he doesn't want to take on Big Fanny is because he's concerned. that he might be called a racist.
Sorry, I just wanted to go ahead and get that out there. I mean, I know it's not impolite to say that in public, but it's true.
So that's why the Republicans get horrified anytime someone mentions race, it's all over. And the Democrats know this. They know that the Republicans, that's their kryptonite. All you have to do is accuse a Republican of being a racist, and boom, they surrender. By I'll give you an example.
We have a guy in here in here in Memphis. His name is Dr. Jeff Warren, he is a city councilman. They had a big meeting yesterday on crime. And this guy, Dr.
Warren, he kind of reminds me of one of those Muppet shows. Oh, who was the. Oh, we've got the audio here. Let's play this audio. He's explaining why we have a crime problem.
We know that there are base causes of our crime problem now. We have poverty. We have the residual of, you know. Industrial slavery that is still here present in our community generations later. Uh he reminds me of the uh who was the bald uh bald scientist on the Muppet show?
Oh, I just You know, we really have to deal with slavery here in Memphis. And I really you know, it's industrial slavery.
So, this guy seems to think that we still have slaves in Memphis, and I'm fairly certain we don't. If we do, this would be breaking news, and well, we would have to fight another war, right? But to my knowledge, we do not have slaves. No one has a slave in Memphis, Tennessee. Aside from the taxpayers, who are being forced to go to work.
And then the government takes their hard-earned money and they give it to people who sit on their butts. All day. I mean, I guess that could be a form of slavery. No, this isn't what I'm talking about, Ted. No, no, no, no, this is slavery.
We g that's why people carjack. If we didn't have slaves, people wouldn't carjack. Oh, Jeezalu. By the way, this guy, he's like a medical doctor, so he was like leading the charge to get all of us to wear face diapers. He's like a masked Nazi on top of being an idiot wrapped in a moron.
All right, gotta take a break here. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show. He made a moron, Todd. Yeah. Hi, this is Jay Seculo.
You've spoken, and we've heard you loud and clear. That's why this month we're doing something big. We're proud to announce our brand new ACLJ Life and Liberty Drive. Our legal teams will be focusing on the issues that you've told us matter the most to you: life and religious liberty. This month, we're redoubling our efforts to beat back the radical left's attacks on your constitutional religious freedoms and to defend the sanctity of human life.
Life and liberty are the cornerstones of our great nation, but they're not guaranteed when the values we hold dear are under attack from within. It's up to all of us to take a stand or risk losing them forever. This is not just a call to fund our legal battles. This is your moment to get in the fight. Every tax-deductible gift you give will be doubled, dollar for dollar, through the ACLJ Life and Liberty Drive and help us fight to literally save lives.
Go to ACLJ.org right now and join us in the fight. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite cunt totem Bible-clinging deplorable American. Say That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starnes.
All right, well, happy Friday to you, America. Wow, it is a long weekend. A lot of people on the road heading out for Labor Day, and we're so happy that you've decided to hang out with us. By the way, today, Open Line Friday, and that means every Friday you're able to call in, and whatever you want to talk about, we will talk about today. Our telephone number is 844-747-8868.
That's 844-747-8868. So, we've been talking about this situation in Georgia where Republican lawmakers at the state capitol. Want to take action to stop Big Fanny Wallace, the district attorney, from going after Donald Trump. And they want to hold her accountable for some of the things that she has been doing and saying that lead me to believe there's no way that Trump is going to get a fair trial.
So I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Honored to have with us back again on the program, State Senator Colton Moore, and he is also the vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus. Senator, good to have you back with us today. Todd, thanks for having me back on. Great to be here.
So I wanted to get your reaction to the governor yesterday, Brian Kemp. And he said, yes, there's a lot of really weird stuff going down, but I'm not going to get involved. You know I think the governor, he's responsible for this entire mess. Right. I mean, he was the Secretary of State.
He was in charge of our elections. He's been at it for twelve years. He's the governor who certified our election results after nineteen days.
So if the governor had certified those election results nineteen hours later, he might have something to stand on, but it took him nineteen days to certify the election results. There were forty. Let me repeat that: 40,000 affidavits by citizens all across Georgia. that signed at the threat of perjury, signed with the risk of going to jail if they were caught lying, that said they saw some type of election fraud. And now we've got a President of the United States and eighteen others.
who were expressing their First Amendment rights to question the integrity of an election. are now being taken political prisoner. And for this governor to say that it's his constitutional role to stay out of it, I don't know if he's ever read the Constitution. because the First Amendment clearly gives any person and any American an opportunity to petition the government, to speak freely and question the integrity of an election and not have to worry about being taken political prisoner. Todd, some of my fellow senators are reluctant to speak out against the constitutional crisis we are in.
They say, I don't know, I don't want to get involved. I don't want to be held for obstruction of justice.
Well, there is no justice. It's nothing but injustice. And these senators who represent two hundred thousand people Who have to question in their head whether they are going to represent their people or whether they are going to face peril from a rogue district attorney. Makes a very dire situation here in Georgia today.
Well, it is just mind-boggling. And yet, I believe this is symptomatic of what we're dealing with on the national level with a lot of the Republicans on Capitol Hill saying, you know what? Yeah, we know that Biden's done awful things and Hunter's done terrible things and Majorkas and Merrick-Garland, but we're just going to give them all a pass. You know, that's certainly the way it seems. When it comes to Fonnie Willis, it's frankly very embarrassing for the Georgia legislature when you've got Representative Andy Beggs and Representative Jim Jordan who are pressing forward with investigating Fonnie Willis and potentially defunding her of federal dollars.
We don't even know how much right now the federal money that's being poured into her office for her to hire additional attorneys. I saw a report last night. One law firm has already been handed over half a million dollars. and it's all to focus on Donald Trump and these eighteen others indicted. You know, meanwhile.
There's no justice for crime victims in Atlanta. Half of the people in the jail have yet to be charged with the crime. We just had somebody else die in the Fulton County jail. You know, three months ago or so, uh a gentleman uh who had yet to go to trial who was trying to get his bond lowered so he could get out of jail. Dyes of bedbugs What a terrible way to go.
Wait, he died of Bed bugs? Yes, yeah, the bed bugs ate him alive in the Fulton County jail. Those are the dire conditions. Oh, my God. We have Eighth Amendment violations here in Atlanta.
And crime continues to go up. This district attorney is not doing her constitutional job. Yeah. justice for crime victims. She's not punishing the criminals.
Instead, she is taking on political prisoners and has chilled the voice. of many of my fellow Republicans from calling her out. I'm very proud to represent about two hundred thousand people in North Georgia, and the people that I represent Todd, they don't want their tax dollars funding Fonnie Willis. And that's why I'm pushing so hard for this special session with line item number one being the funder of Georgia tax dollars.
Now the governor alluded to my argument and said, well, he didn't think constitutionally we could fully defund her.
Well, that's fine. Let's give her $1. but my constituents don't want to fund anymore. Senator, I want to talk about we call her Big Fanny Willis here on this program, but I want to talk about the district attorney for just a moment. Have you guys been able to uncover the evidence that she has been going after Trump?
She's been talking about this in private. She's been sharing social media feeds. What kind of evidence do you have on her?
Well, that's the problem. Until we can get into a special session, we as legislators can't launch into an investigation, and that's the push now. We're just trying to get to step one. calling this special session. The governor could call the special session right now if he wanted to, but it's evident after yesterday he doesn't want to do that.
But we've got subpoena authority in the legislature. I mean, any high school kid coming out of government class understands that we've got three branches of government. And our legislative duty is to provide oversight on judicial and executive officers like Fonnie Willis. And We need to be subpoenaing a lot of things. I mean, the fact that the indictment came out hours before the jury ever concluded.
Leads one to believe that potentially there was some judge shopping going on, trying to pick the next judge that was going to. Yield in one favor or the other.
So how much coordination has she had with the Department of Justice? Realize that one of the indicted actually worked for the Department of Justice and is being charged for making false claims. I mean, the people she's going after, she even wants to go after our number two, our lieutenant governor. One of my fellow state senators is being indicted. And if Stacey Abrams was governor right now, he would have already been plucked from his duty as a senator just because of the charges that he's facing right now, upwards of life in prison.
Are you surprised that Governor Kemp did what he did? Help us understand that because he seems like a good guy. I mean, he was certainly re-elected, seems to be very popular there. What's his deal?
Well, I tell you what, I was one of his biggest supporters from the very beginning. And I think he's an absolute disgrace to the entire situation. I don't know. You know, I feel like we're almost in a Nazi Germany type situation. You know, first they come after your enemies.
And you don't say anything because they're your enemies. And I kind of think that's where the governor is right now. He looks at Donald Trump as an enemy, so he really doesn't care. But then they come after your friends, Todd. And I feel like that's where we are as a legislature right now, one of my fellow senators being indicted.
And we've seen what they're doing to our enemies, so we're too afraid to say anything for our friends. But Todd, eventually they come for you. And at that point, there's no one left to speak for you. And that's why it's so important that That we pushed so hard here in Georgia to nip this in the bud right away.
Well, I'm well, I'm glad you're doing it, and I know it's an uphill battle for you, Senator. Are you getting other Republicans to go on the record? Or are they still A little nervous.
Well, I tell you what, I just got off the phone with a senator who's taking a lot of heat. He told me he tried to go to the ball field last night with his kids, and he was being accosted by his constituents, were his words to me. And it's just do your job as a senator, be accountable to your constituents. Remember that you represent those people at the ball field. You don't represent the governor in his office.
So the pressure is mounting here in Georgia. I've already heard of many people expressing an urge to primary their representative and their senator. We might have a big turnover here in the legislature. People are burning these phones up. I mean, they're calling left and right.
Trying to convince their legislator to take a stand, but every legislator is just pointing at every excuse not to do anything. Wow. Just I wish I could say I was shocked, but I am not. But, Senator, we appreciate you standing firm, and let's see what happens here. We appreciate you coming on the show today.
Todd, absolutely. Any of your listeners in Georgia, I would just encourage them to double down continue that pressure on those legislators and just remind them that they have a choice. If they stand up for the rule of law, they'll call this out and ask for a special session. But if they don't stand up, then they're just letting Fonnie Willis get by with what she's doing. And for your listeners listening outside of Georgia, I would just encourage you to go to my website Coltonmore.com.
Slash emergency, and you can learn more information there. All right. I appreciate it. You got it. All right.
State Senator Colton Moore from Georgia. And man, is he fighting an uphill battle? You know, here in Tennessee, we've got a We've got a Republican governor. What a squish. His name is Bill Lee, and he called a special session to try and stage a gun grab.
Fortunately, we have enough Republicans in Tennessee that know that's a really lousy idea.
So they were able to stop that from happening. But it's a mess. It's a mess. All right. I got a question for you.
I was watching a video yesterday. Tucker Carlson had Dave Portnoy on his Twitter show, his ex show. And Portnoy was the founder of Barstool Sports. Have any of you guys seen the video yet?
So, Dieter's seen the video. Dieter, I'm anxious to hear your thoughts. Let me set the stage.
So you've got Portnoy was going, he likes to review the pizzas, right?
So he went into a pizza joint. And um we were gonna play the audio, but It would have taken Dylan probably two or three hours to remove all the filthy language.
So, anyway, Portnoy is standing outside the restaurant. He's eating the cheese pizza, and he's giving it a horrible review. Portnoy says, I don't know how long it's been sitting there. It looked, I'm going to be honest, it looked better in the case. It looked more well done in the case than this one.
He said the pizza was very thin, a floppy mess, and the Parmesan was too strong.
Now, the owner of the restaurant is coming outside and he realizes what Portnoy is doing in front of his pizza joint. And the guy says, Dave, enjoy your pizza as any customer, but I don't appreciate what you do coming in and judging a business with one bite.
So Port Loy Says, wait, is it oh, is this your restaurant? He says, Yes. And the guy says, I hope you enjoy your pizza, but I don't appreciate what you do to small businesses. Portnoy says, I help small businesses. The owner said, I don't see it that way.
And the guy says, Let me be a little clearer. Move on. Don't stand in front of my business. And then Portnoy just loses it on the guy. And then Portnoy snaps back, Let me be clear, blank you And the owner said, Let me be clear.
Get the blank out of the front of my business. Then Portnoy went back. Blank you, blank you, blank you. It's a public street, you mother blanker. I'm telling you is a lot of bad language.
So they're trading barbs, and then Portnoy calls the owner a fatso. And so Tucker is relating, he's playing this on the video on Tucker's show. And then Tucker is siding with Portnoy, and they're both laughing and making fun of. The the the pizza joint owner. Who's just a small businessman who was wearing a t-shirt that was probably about four sizes too small?
But I mean, you know, it is what it is. And so Portnois says, when you throw the first punch, I'm going to bury you.
Well, wait a second. I I think Port Oy threw the first punch here.
So anyway, Dieter, I'm curious to get your thoughts on this. Who was in the right? I I think Dave Portnoy was only because this, I believe, was in Massachusetts. This was like one of the woke guys. They wear the mask, all of that.
And that's not Dave Portnoy's brand. I watched the video and my thought on all of this If God forbid the Democratic Party runs Michelle Obama. They somehow get Joe Biden to walk away. May he rest in peace. We have to run Dave Portnoy on some ticket.
Trump as president, Dave Portnoy, VP. Why? They already call the guy president, like actually president. I'm just not. I don't.
I think that Portnoy was being a jerk. I do not. I do not because listen. But do you know what they say? Bad press is still good press.
Is that it? I don't know. You get the point. No, he called the guy a fan, so. Guess who's talking about that man's terrible, terrible pizza shop?
The whole country. And that's because Dave Portnoy caused drama outside of his business. That was the best thing that could have ever happened to that pizza owner. And the pizza looked disgusting, by the way.
Well, I mean, yeah, I don't I don't know. I mean, it it looked like a pizza. The guys from Massachusetts, what do they they they don't even know how to fry fish up there.
So they may not know how to make a pizza. I mean, I disagree with you, Todd. I mean, the woke pizza owner. They call for defunding the police, and Tucker made this point. Yet the guy, the pizza owner, said, I'm going to call the police to remove you from my property.
Wait, the pizza owner said that? That wasn't in the story I read. That was in the Tucker exclusive. I don't watch Tucker. I Maybe I should.
It is a weird format. I don't watch much on X, to be honest. But it was explosive. I don't think the guy was that big of a Fatso. He was just wearing a bad T-shirt.
Mm-hmm. Was that like a Star Wars t-shirt? It was a Star Wars t-shirt. And Dave Portnoy is a huge Star Wars fan. He's a but just not a fan when it's size, you know.
So, how does this work?
So, Portnoy goes and does all these pizza interviews. It would be like, Todd, if you went to every barbecue joint in the Mid-South region, all of Georgia, Alabama, you name it, South Carolina, Memphis. all of these places and you tasted people as barbecue, and then you got on your true social and did a review. That's that's the equivalent. Which maybe you should start doing.
No, I'm not going to do that. I already have enough enemies on the left. I don't I don't want to tick off any barbecue joint people. I saw fried green tomatoes. All right, got to take a break here.
So, Dieter says Port Nori did the right thing. By cussing out the guy and mocking him for being a fatty. What say you, ladies and gentlemen? 844-747-8868. This is the Todd Stern Show.

Good to have you with us on this Friday edition.
So there's an interesting story. I know, Dieter, you've been to the concerts. You like to go to these concerts. You're sort of like our cultural attaché. Of the Todd Stearns radio program.
I'm rather intrigued by this story that involves two redneck women in cowboy boots. Fighting over a porter potty. at a country music concert in a place called Beaver County. There's a lot to unravel there. It's not lost on me the name of that county.
So um Yeah.
Okay, turn your microphone off now. Actually, it happened in your hometown. That's why I'm rather shocked by this. I didn't live in Beaver County. No, but it's in Pittsburgh.
Oh. Is Pittsburgh in Beaver County? Beaver. Beaver County is right there. Yeah.
West Pennsylvania. Ben from Beaver. You see, Dieter from Beter.
Okay.
So this happened. Is it Morgan Whalen? Is that the Morgan Wallen? Morgan Wallen. Whelan Wallen.
Wallen. Whalen Jennings, Morgan Wallen.
So several women, there's a video going viral. And I don't know if you've seen this video, but the women are, one of them is wearing Daisy Dukes, blue jean cutoffs, and and cowboy boots And the other is wearing short shorts and cowboy boots. And I guess they really had to go to the bathroom.
So they the women were fighting in front of the these porta potties. And what I thought was interesting is the porta potties are all pink. Normally they're green, so I'm not sure maybe that maybe that's to signify they're for the gals. Anyway, um The uh There's a guy by the name of Scott T. Tady, who is a writer with the Beaver County Times, and he wrote an editorial.
He wrote a review. I didn't know they had, apparently, it's a very popular newspaper. Anyway, he said that the concert did not move the needle. But Morgan Wallen gives a packed PNC Park crowd what it craved, talking about his voice and all that kind of stuff. But the real show was the long line of portable toilets and what started as a verbal altercation that turned into an all-out fracas.
I mean, this was you don't have those very often. And it drew several more spectators.
So apparently it was more than just the two women. And they were fighting. I love the description here, and it's very graphic, Mr. Dieter. They're in Beaver County.
According to the Beaver County Times, the scene opens with two women arguing in front of a United Site Services toilet. with a tattooed hair beaded woman throwing a straw over her shoulder. The straw appears to have been taken from another woman. who sports what appears to be a white macrame cover up. They begin jawing each other's faces and escalate to shoving.
My goodness. I mean, my gosh, classless. Credit cards, jingle chains, and other purse contents go flying everywhere as the action spills over to the last toilet in the row, and a black hatted bystander who is exiting the stall is stunned by the melee. The two women go crashing into the stall as the bystander gets out, and then two other women enter the stall. How many people can you fit inside those things?
Two other women enter the stall to join the fight as a gentleman And the crowd screams, Yeah, baby Must have been one heck of a scene out there. They're both it The port-a-pots are like the size of a mailbox. I how are they both inside of it is my question. It's hard to say. And then throwing fists at each other?
Yeah, it's a fair point. Fair question. Anyway, apparently, there were three separate angles of the fight, so it was videoed. They called the Porta Potty War. And man all man is uh I mean it's it's ugly.
So, anyway, two yep, two Lily White girls. Goin' at it, in front of the pink portajohns. I w I would have given that woman a swirly so fast in that portajohn. She would have known what was coming. Yeah, they're all in there, and it's good stuff.
So, there you go. Lots of fun at the Pittsburgh Morgan Wallen concert. I hope somebody flushed. Let's go to Fred, W-D-U-N. He wants to talk about Brian Kemp.
Hi, Fred. What's on your mind today?
Hey, Todd, how's it going? I just want a little comparison I want you to make. You know, when Kemp got elected governor and was running against Stacey. Um He only won by a few thousand votes, and Stacy has never admitted that she's lost. Because the ballots that were thrown out, Ratzenberger did not count them.
There was like 3,500 of them. He claimed that they couldn't match them up to anyone. Um, are you still with me? I'm listening intently, Fred. I'm sorry, I heard something in the background.
And what I'm wanting you to do is, Ratzenberger counted the ballots that were did not count the ballots that were thrown out. He claimed they couldn't match them up to anyone. And usually, you know, Ty, when a machine throws a ballot out, it usually means there's something wrong with it, okay?
So the fourteen There were fourteen thousand five hundred ballots that were tossed out. And the Trump election And in the middle of the night, they decide they're just going to count all of them. And that's the reason why Trump lost by eleven thousand five hundred ballots.
Now are we supposed to be led to believe that they check those ballots like they claim they did in the governor's race? I just find I just find it a little bit of a comparison there. You know, a machine threw out ballots in the governor's race that he didn't count. A machine threw out ballots in the presidential erase, and he counts every one of them. And I just I just think there needs to be Some kind of investigation.
I think Kemp and Ratzenberger are as crooked as 10 miles a bad road. They know. What went on in Georgia during the election, and they're trying to cover it up. I also think Kemp is afraid of Fanny. Uh I you know, he's he's a terrible governor.
You know, he didn't stand up for Georgia during the All-Star game that cost hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs. You know, he lets these Hollywood people come over here and work tax-free. Um You know, where was he at when Black Lives Matter were burning private businesses down and an eight-year-old girl was shot and killed? You know, where was he at then? You know, he sells our state out to Chinese and Korean companies.
Uh you know, he has a lot of personal interest in China. Yeah, he has a lot of personal business. I actually believe that's the reason they didn't want Trump to win.
Well, that was a big part of it, Fred. I mean, when you look at what was happening and the dynamics happening leading into the twenty twenty presidential election, China was really beginning to suffer as a result of the crackdowns that Trump had put into place. And again, this is ludicrous. And if you remember back during that time, when Trump, for example, was saying it's outrageous that we have to rely on China for some of the basic medicines that the American people need. It's outrageous that we are outsourcing all of these jobs when they need to be right here in the United States of America.
So, yeah, I think there was, you know, when you look at the election and the shenanigans that went on, you better believe China had a good reason to get involved and to make sure that Donald Trump got booted from office. But to your point about Brian Kemp, yeah, I do believe he is terrified of being called a racist. And the man simply will not stand up and do the right thing. And he's demonstrated that time and time again. Fred got to run.
Good call. And great it's great insight there. All right, eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight is our telephone number.

So here's a headline from TheBlaze.com. That's Glenn Beck's operation. A Tucker Carlson. Agrees 100% with Dave Portnoy that Biden and Trump are too old to be president. And he also takes a shot at Mitch McConnell.
Tucker Carlson's interview with Portnoy was released yesterday, and we played, we talked a little bit about the pizza guy. But he says he agrees 100% that President Biden and former President Trump are too old. To be president. What about you, ladies and gentlemen? Do you believe that to be the case?
Do you believe that President Trump is too old? I mean, it's sort of like night and day difference between those two. Trump looks pretty good. He's energetic, he's out there, he seems to have control of his faculties. He can complete a sentence.
He actually knows how to walk up a set of stairs. And he eats solid food.
So I I mean, if you ask me. Trump is a pretty healthy guy. But again. There are people out there, and Tucker Carlson seems to be one of them. Who says, yeah, Trump is just too old?
Trump Tucker says. If I'm being honest, totally honest, and he was talking about Trump. Talking about the debates. And by the way, yesterday, Trump made headlines on our show. when he said, Yeah, you know, he might might consider doing a debate.
And I think he should. Just to put all the rumors that he's too old. Too out of shape, just shove those aside. What say you, ladies and gentlemen? Do you believe like do you agree with Tucker?
Do you agree with Dave Portnoy that That Trump is too old to be running for president. 844-747-8868 is our number. That's 844-748. seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight Meanwhile, Nikki Haley has some thoughts about Mitch McConnell, cut number eight. It's sad.
No one should feel good about seeing that. You know, any more than we should feel good about seeing Dianne Feinstein, any more than we should feel good about a lot of what's happening or seeing Joe Biden's decline. What I will say is, right now, the Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country. I mean, you know, Mitch McConnell has done some great things, and he deserves credit. But you have to know when to leave.
That is why I'm strongly in support of term limits in this country. I think that we do need mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75. I wouldn't care if they did them over the age of 50. But these are people making decisions on our national security. They're making decisions on our economy, on the border.
We need to know they're at the top of their game. You can't say that right now looking at Congress.
Well, she's not wrong. I will say this, I agree with her. I like this idea that If you're over 70, 75, you need to take a competency test. I've got no problem with that. I that that's a good idea.
I guarantee you Trump would pass it. You really think Biden would pass something like that? I don't think so. I don't believe so. But you're telling me that Dianne Feinstein is competent enough to cast a vote, an educated vote, on an issue?
There's no way. You think Fetterneck? You think Fetterneck is capable? I don't think so. But again, I mean, it's you know, I know everybody loves to put their faith in people like Tucker Carlson and all these others.
Then they come out with this kind of stuff, and you really start to wonder. Let's go to Clarksville, Georgia. Whoops, we just lost Mary Lou. Give us a call back. But I'm telling you, this is not an issue of age.
This is an issue of whether or not your brain is functioning. And for whatever reason, Biden has been through the ringer, and the guy's just not competent. But I don't think you can put Biden and Trump In the same sentence when it comes to competency, I just don't believe you could do that. 844-747-8868. Let's go to Robert.
In Jackson, Tennessee. Robert, what say you?
Well I can't believe Tucker said it. I thought Tucker was a little bit more. had more of a spine. But Biden, I had a mother and a grandmother who had Alzheimer's or dementia. My mother wasted away, but she had those early signs.
That Biden has. of the shuffle I had confusion. And not sure what should be. Yesterday and today. And Trump, you know, that I think you said you lived in New York, worked for Fox.
You know, people in New York, New Jersey. They're just like Trump when they you insulted He throws it back at you, but that's not a mental problem, that's a cultural problem of that area of the country. And Trump is still very sharp. And there's a difference of daylight and darkness between the two of them physically and mentally. I think Trump is as qualified as any as he ever was.
Oh, I have no doubt about it, Robert. I saw some video of him out on the golf course, and this did not get much attention in the media. But he was throwing around a golf ball. He was doing some things with the clubs. That clearly showed me that he still got it.
And you know how it is, Robert? I mean, there are some people that live to be 100 years old, and they are healthy and they are vibrant, they're active, they get out there, and then all of a sudden, you know, after 100, 102 years old, they just die.
Meanwhile, you've got some folks that are 70 years old, 75 years old, and unfortunately they look like Joe Biden, where they just, for whatever reason, Their minds, their brains stopped functioning. And, you know, it's sad. But again, that's why I think having a competency test. I got no problem with that. I suspect a lot of people in Congress would fail it, though, Robert.
Could I mention something about Mitch McConnell? Yeah, yeah, real quick. I want to compare him to Obama real quick. You know, many times Obama got before a microphone and when he's not scripted with a teleprompter, He go to well uh well uh uh uh uh and people mentioned his stutter. And The people who were offended on the screening liberals, you know, they said, well, that is just an intellectual pause.
So apparently that's what Mitch has got. Mitch has got an intellectual pause, but it's a double standard like everything else. Oh, no doubt about that, Robert. No doubt about that. Appreciate the call.
That's right. You know, Obama, I forgot about that. But back in the day, Obama would give these great speeches. And I mean, they were delivered. You know, he can, but again, it was all acting.
Because when you asked him to come up with a thought on his own, that was crazy. It's like, whoa, what happened there?
So there you go. Great speech writers, but not so much good on your own. It's like the Hollywood actors. You know, if it's not scripted, they're morons, and they sound like it. It's really unfortunate.
But what are you going to do? All right, folks, coming up, we are going to replay our great interview with President Trump from yesterday. A lot of folks miss that interview, so we're going to replay that interview with President Trump. And it was pretty powerful, to be honest with you. And his command over the issues, again, you're going to hear it for yourself, and we will play that.
You'll also be able to download that over at ToddSterns.com. Just check out our free newsletter and podcast over on the website. By the way, don't forget tonight or this afternoon, 4 o'clock Eastern, I'll be hosting on Newsmax filling in for Chris Salcedo. All right, stick around, everybody. Yeah.
