Welcome to the Todd Starn Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacypminvestments dot com. That's legacypminvestments.com Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right.

I love this American rap stars. Yeah. Hello America, I'm Todd Starnes. And it's great to be back with you. And I will say I hope you had an incredible Thanksgiving day.

and had lots of turkey and ham and football. Wow, the Starnes family, we had a bizarre Thanksgiving celebration. I would encourage you to go over to our Instagram page, ToddStarnsFNC. And we posted some of the photos of the family celebration. When you've got teenagers, you never know what's going to happen at Thanksgiving time.

So I'll just leave it at that.

So, anyway, great to be with you and hope you got a great rest over this long holiday weekend. And may I just say, someone said, Todd, what's the takeaway from Thanksgiving? What is your takeaway?

Well, here, because there are so many things happening. Across America, across the world, so many things. But what is the takeaway from Thanksgiving 2023? This is the question that has been burning into the hearts and the minds of Grace Baker and Ben Dieter, even as you and I sit here and chat today. And I will tell you what I believe the greatest takeaway is of Thanksgiving 2023.

It's Dolly Part. God bless Dolly Parton. That's all I can say. Wow, the performance over the weekend, the halftime show. You know, a lot of times with the NFL, can we just get real for a moment?

The halftime shows really suck. I mean, they really do. They're bad. I mean, really bad.

So Dolly Parton and and we've got the video up on our website, ToddSterns.com. And Dolly Parton, who is what, Benteeter, seventy seven years old from what I understand, she came out dressed like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. It was she looked good. She looked good. Wow.

I'm impressed. The only way you could tell she was 77 was the neck. You know, you can only do so much. You know what I mean? She's still I mean, to be able to fit into a Dallas Cowboys cheerleading.

There's not much to fit into there. I know. I know. I didn't know they made them that way. They make them that way.

That's why they're America's team. And you could actually hear her. She sounded fantastic. She sounded great. Started off with Jolene.

You can't get much better than that. And then went into like what she sang, three songs, and literally brought down America. Not just ATT Stadium, brought down America.

So that's your takeaway for the entire Thanksgiving talk. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Wow. That's pretty much it. I it made me proud to be an American.

It reminded me of why men and women in America put on the uniform of this country and sacrificed themselves for our freedom. Good guy. That's what that meant to me. I just stood up and I pledged allegiance right there in the middle of Dolly's performance. I'm just telling you.

It was now I will say this, I got a lot of hate mail because I I said that sh I called Dolly a national treasure.

Well, you don't know her politics.

Okay, you know, everything doesn't have to be about politics. Right, I get it. She I don't even know if she's a liberal or a conservative. I don't know. She may be.

I it doesn't seem to ma it doesn't matter because she keeps that, by and large, out of what she does. I mean, she wasn't waving a Palestinian flag up there.

So I mean, it may be a low bar these days. But anyway, I got some emails from the Baptist church ladies, Ben, and many of them are seventy-seven years old and should not be wearing Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader outfits. They've been around the church buffet, the Wednesday night supper buffet, a few too many times. Yeah. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, that's that's gravy and mashed potatoes, not silicone. No. If you know what I'm saying, I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying.

So, all that to say, if you're 77 years old and you can still dance around the stage and have a good time, then I say, God be with you. All I could think of, honest to goodness, Dieter, all I could think of during that performance was please don't break a hip. I mean, her hips were doing things that hips that age are not allowed to do. Do you think she ever stops? Is she just going to carry right on past 100 and go on to the afterlife?

And she's still somehow going to make an appearance. She's going to be like our modern-day biblical Methuselah. She'll be 140. Having children. That's what's going to happen.

Yeah. But it's really remarkable because, you know, a lot of people that age, a lot of people actually are that active and are physically fit and they're having a good time. They're living their life. You know, I went when you look at the villages, America's friendliest hometown, for example, they're doing a lot more than that down there. I don't want to get into that story, but you can Google it or watch the Netflix special.

All that to say that our grandmas and grandpas are sort of old school grandmas and grandpas. They're not like Donald Parton. I don't think your grandmother was like Dolly Parton, Penteer. I'm just going to go out on a limb. No.

My mom just turned 55, and I can tell you, her hair is not blonde like Dolly's. I don't know what Dolly's been drinking.

Okay, 55 is not old. No. Ghost in the corner. Yes, sir. Anyway, all that to say, well done, Dolly Parton.

Welt.

Well done. Todd. Shame on you. A good church-going one shouldn't be dressed like that.

Well, have you seen praise and worship teams at your local church lately? Dolly was wearing more than some of those gals. I'm just saying. Anyway, we've got a great show lined up for you today. Yes, we're going to talk about the war in the Middle East and the fact that we're on the edge of Armageddon.

But I'm telling you, I that Dolly Parton that was impressive. You go Dolly. And at least you could hear her singing, unlike what happened at the University of Tennessee Volunteers game where the sound system crapped out. And that was that was tough. But it's hard.

If you're an older woman, it's really hard to have still. I mean, if you still have your voice, that's really saying something. And she's got her voice. I'm just I'm just saying. All right.

Our telephone number, nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. But a lot of people are saying it was inappropriate. And that she should have acted her age. And my contention is, okay, it was just like after I had um Open heart surgery.

I was thirty-seven years old. And people say, Oh, you got to slow down. You got to I forget that. You know, I've got the heart of an 18-year-old beating inside my 37-year-old body. I mean, yeah, it's like having a Porsche engine in a Hugo.

It's going to run great, but the parts are going to fall off every now and again. I get that. But I don't you know, you gotta get out there and live your life. And if if Dolly Parton at seventy seven wants to get out there and sing Jolene in a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader out that, who am I to say that's inappropriate?

So I'm curious to hear from our audience today. Yeah. Whether or not that was inappropriate. It's kind of shocking that people took offense at that. 901260-5926 is our number.

That's 901-260-5926. Another interesting story. And this involves a little bit more serious content. And this happened at a high school. in New York City, Hillcrest High School in Queens.

And there was a There is a a teacher who has been a long time veteran, I think, what, thirty years this teacher has been on the job, and she happened to attend a pro-Israel rally. She even posted an image of her on her social media pages. where she was waving the Israeli flag.

Well, a bunch of students found out about this. And they went on a Rampage. And folks, this is not hyperbole. We actually had the video up at TomSterns.com, and I would encourage you to go and watch this. These students rioted.

They were literally trying to hunt down this teacher. That was the plan. Text messages went out, and the pro. Hamas pro-terrorist students. We're hunting down this teacher.

The teacher was forced to lock herself in an office and go into hiding. We have no idea what these kids would have done to this teacher had they captured her. She could have been beaten to death for all we know. Hillcrest High School.

So New York City Councilwoman Vicki Palladino. Is on the case. And she is demanding action. She says our education system is fundamentally broken. Anti-Semitic riots.

And that's what she called this, an anti-Semitic riot. Are sadly the natural result of years of woke leftist indoctrination. Replacing real education. The woman gets it. Good for you, counsel lady.

Allowing progressives to gain total control over our institutions was always going to lead to tragic outcomes. They've been working to instigate a cultural revolution here for decades, and now those efforts appear to be bearing fruit. And it's true. The students readily admitted what they were doing. They were literally Tearing water fountains.

Out of the wall. They were vandalizing the school. People were screaming. The New York City Police Department sent several dozen police officers and the counterterrorism A task force. At one point, students tried to gain entry into the teacher's classroom, but other teachers, other faculty members.

formed a a human blockade of the Rue. You see, this is why teachers need to be armed. How dare you, Todd? Are you saying that they're gonna? It's okay for the teachers to shoot the children?

Well, if the children are trying to kill you, yes. Yes, I am. Anyway, New York City is the school department, they say they're very upset about this. We don't believe anybody's been arrested. Let me say this, and here's what needs to happen: every child, and there's plenty of video of what happened.

Every child in that school who took part in the riot Needs to be arrested.

Now, they were talking about get the white ass cracker. That's or I'm sorry, get her cracker ass was the charge of the day, leading us to believe that this woman was a Caucasian American, a Saltine American, if you will. And uh therefore, uh if that's the case, uh guess what that is, ladies and gentlemen? Anybody? Hello?

Mm. It's a hate crime. It's a hate crime. So every single one of those children who were rioting in the hallways. Trying to get The Cracker Ass Teacher should be charged with a hate crime.

Federal charges. throw the little monsters in the Federal prison. That's what needs to happen here. It's time to start playing hardball. I'll go a step further.

I'm willing to wager that a good many of the little urchins that were riding in the high school Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, I'd be willing to wager that many of them are illegals. You know what? Ship them and their families right out of the country. Simon to Gaza City. This is unacceptable.

That you've got a bunch of Jew-hating thugs. And Thugglings Rampaging through the hallways of American public schools trying to hunt down the pro-Jewish teachers. That's unacceptable, ladies and gentlemen. That's what we call. Terrorism.

All right, eight, again, our telephone number, nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. What do you think we ought to do with these kids that were rioting and trying to hunt down? And I'm just going to go ahead and pause it here, ladies and gentlemen. That they would have killed this teacher.

They would have ripped her from limb to limb. And when you see that video, you will agree with my assessment. But what do you think we ought to do with these thugs? Again, our number 901-260-5926. Your call's coming up next.

Hi, Betty. What'd you think about Dolly's show? All right, listen, this is the first time I've talked to you public. Look, John, I didn't see it, but I love Dolly Pardon. I love her song.

I grew up in days like she did, and they better leave her alone. Because she's great. And she loves people. And I like I like it when she sings the song, the coat of many colors. that tells you how she lived.

I grew up in hard times like that too. You had no you had no You had to draw water, you had to oh, it was hard times, but it was good times. And look how far she has come. And then to leave her alone. Because listen, I'm a person, I'm eighty four years old, I'm young at heart.

And we grew up, my mother played a pump organ all our life, and I sang, and I left her sing with her. And and I listened to it on YouTube. Uh, now I got off of Facebook 'cause they just got too much pornography on there, 'cause I'm a born-again Christian and I don't care who knows it. And the women's gonna have to win the culture.

So we don't have many men in cry. It doesn't matter if they don't like me. I'm close to the Almighty God. And I don't, oh, I don't like to talk public because they crucify me. Oh, you did.

You're doing a fine job here, Betty. Look, I'm a big Dolly Parton fan as well. You know, the song Jolene. Oh, that's a good song.

Well, I'm going to, I'm very smart. I'm very intelligent because, listen, I've been done wrong for my life, but I've come a long way. But let me tell you something: I'm going in to see that, and I know it's got to be beautiful. And I'm so glad you highlighted her.

Well, we love Dolly. Have you been to Dolly Wood, Betty? It's a great place. It's twelve years ago, yes, and we loved it. My daughter and and and her husband went once and my little granddaughter.

Yes. But it's been a long time ago. We went and we went up when it was my country. They have that huge roller coaster with the twin peaks. It's um that's pretty exciting over there.

The partner was saying that certain things, you know, a certain uh uh Uh, well I I guess uh I don't know events that they had for her, but she was close to her family. Oh, she's a darling. She lost her child. But listen, I keep up with all that and I love all that, but I love my gospel music that she sings, and I love that. And listen, I'm not ashamed of the Lord because he's all we got.

Well, there you go. And it's 85, and I come through major surgery with fine cold. They tried to keep him in the hospital. Ain't got me dead yet because it's all foreign doctors. No, I'm glad they don't have you dead yet, Betty.

You got to call us back one of these days. Will you do that? Listen, I love your program. I don't get to listen all the time, but I got my solar radio.

Well, I'm oh, wow, I'm glad you do, Betty. And I well, you're you're a good lady, and anybody who loves Dolly Parton is a friend of this program.

So thank you for thank you for listening to us. Wow, Betty from Dro I will say this about Dolly Parton. She has literally transformed Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I believe she's from Pigeon Forge, and now it's sort of Redneck Vegas. You folks in Salem, Oregon, if you want to have a cultural experience, you need to come on down to Redneck Vegas, is what we call it, which is Pigeon Forge.

And I'll take you to supper over at the Hatfields and the McCoy's Dinner Theater. They used to have the Dixie Stampede, and Dolly used to be in charge of that. But apparently, a bunch of Yankees came down and got upset that we were still fighting the war of North and Aggression over a big old plate of fried chicken and biscuits or family style. Go figure. All right, hang tight.

We've got Charlie and Gainsville. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. We'll be right back. My Pillow is celebrating its 20-year anniversary with over 80 million MyPillows sold.

All right, welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Extravaganza, everybody. As promised, I want to go to the phone lines. Charlie, who's listening to us on WDUN in Gainesville, Georgia, wants to weigh in on the pro-Hamas students that are rampaging in New York City. All right, Charlie, what you got for us?

Well, I honestly think these students are just. horrifically misinformed. And if you sat them down and made them watch that horrific video that you had to watch, what was it, the Israeli consulate or the embassy, I'm not sure where you went, if they physically saw what Hamas is capable of, those children could not support that evil. Let me just throw this at you, Charlie. What if.

What if they have been indoctrinated in their public school classrooms? Because, again, I'm fairly certain that most of those kids have no idea what Hamas is, they have no idea what Gaza is, but they're being indoctrinated in their public school classrooms, and they don't have access to the videos that you just talked about. What do we do then?

Well, that's what I'm thinking should be their punishment for acting out like this. An assembly should be called and they should be taught exactly. What is going on? I see.

So maybe get all the kids together in the Kathy Gymnatorium and and then make them watch the videos. that uh the rest of us in the in the media had to watch. Right. And if they see that, like I don't think it would uh I think children by nature are generally good, but they're just so easily molded, it's very easy to manipulate into them into believing that they're doing right when really they're doing a lot of harm. Charlie, it's a good thought.

And again, look, they may know, they may not know. The fact of the matter is, somebody put enough hatred into their brains, those mushy little minds of theirs, to have them go out there and destroy a public school and hunt down a teacher. And I think they would have ripped her from limb to limb. I mean, when you look at the level of violence in those videos, there's no doubt in my mind they would have been calling a coroner to that high school. Charlie, appreciate that call.

I mean, it really is it's really horrible. Yeah. All right, I have a question for you. Do you call it A Christmas tree Or do you call it a holiday tree? What do you call it?

So Ben Dater, I um I inadvertently stirred up a national controversy over the weekends, and I was trying to pace myself. But I couldn't help it.

So, my beautiful town that I live in, it's called Germantown, and it's supposed to be conservative, right? They told me Germantown was a conservative town. That's what they told me. But it turns out that something is just not right in Germantown, Tennessee. We've got an infestation of wokeness.

And it's the same kind that's infecting other cities. I'm just surprised it happened to be in the town that I live in. And so a couple of weeks back, I told you I had to go down to the school board and I had to smack them around verbally, of course, and they finally backed off of this plan to rename Good Friday for the sake of inclusivity. And now comes word that they are going after Christmas.

So over the weekend, a Germantown, and by the way, this happened right around the corner from where I live. They had a big holiday tree Lighting ceremony. And they went out of their way. In all of the advertisements, to point out that this, in fact, was a holiday treat. This was not a Christmas tree.

It was a holiday treat. And Ben Dieter, as we now know. After the holiday tree was lit, They decided to sing some. Holiday Songs And after the singing of the holiday songs that they advertised, they also promoted the fact that they would be serving holiday refreshments. Because there's nothing quite like rocking around the holiday tree.

Eating a holiday cane Apparently. In Germantown, Tennessee.

So anyway, all you know what broke loose. I just wrote a little blurb about it on the website, and all you know what broke loose, and now the whole story's gone viral. And a lot of people are wondering, and this is an honest question.

So let's just say you're, hey, would you like to come to the holiday tree lighting? My first question would be. What holiday are we celebrating? Because if it's a Muslim holiday, probably not going to go. If it's a Hindu holiday, probably not going to go.

But if it's a Christian holiday, because I'm a person of the Christian faith, yeah, I probably go to that. especially if they're serving delicious snacks. But I mean, let's just say, for example, that. It's a Muslim holiday because, again, it's generic. I mean, you know, I'm not going to want to eat, you know, some pita bread and hummus.

Because that's what they would probably serve at that holiday food gathering. But at a. A Christmas get-together?

Well, you're going to have the sugar cookies and you're going to have those great little Debbie snacks with the cherry filling it. I love those at Christmas time. Yeah. So, what holiday were they celebrating? Was it Arbor Day?

I mean, we're talking about trees.

So, anyway, people have been asking, and it's a fair question to ask. What specifically was the city of Germantown celebrating over the weekend? And I'm curious, and a lot of other people want to know as well. I know, Ben Dieter, you were talking about this earlier today. You know, this Todd is an interesting one.

I I mean, they had an issue with Easter, and it's you know, whatever. It's not whatever. They have an issue with the Ten Commandments. They don't want them in the school or up on City Hall. But a Christmas tree, now I'm starting to understand why all my liberal friends in Germantown.

Spell out Xmas. Instead of Christmas, do you think this could be all part of it? Oh, are we being scammed? Is wild.

So, did you go? This is the question, though, that all the listeners are wondering. Did you walk out of your apartment? Did you go down to the. Holiday tree lighting.

I did not because I wasn't sure what they were celebrating. And I didn't want to be like some you know I mean, it they could have been it could have been Wisconsin, that's the National Railroad Museum where they were, you know, celebrating Satan. They had literally a satanic Christmas tree. What? Yeah, we'll get to that in a minute.

So I wasn't sure I was gonna go, but then I thought, well, What if they're not celebrating Christmas? I don't know. They're celebrating a holiday.

Well, I threw this out this morning. You know that is it O Christmas tree or is it Tana Bomb? Every year it's different. When they sing that holiday song, if we're doing holiday songs with the holiday snacks, do you just bleep out or do you just skip over Oh, Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree. Oh holiday tree.

Oh holiday tree, oh holiday it's just like I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. I'm not sure that's a double trigger song, so maybe a Caucasian holiday. I'm dreaming of a Caucasian holiday.

Well, they said one of the holiday snacks Was going to be white marshmallows. And I thought, you can't have a not in this area. That's inappropriate. We've got to toast those babies. That's right.

Put some color on those marshmallows, pal. Don't be racist. By the way, so I pointed this out. This is great.

So there's this radical, look, the school system is radicalized, so they have a lot of leftists in the school system. And that's where a lot of this stuff is coming. And so one of them happens to be of the alphabet activist community persuasion. And he's got a husband, and the guy's a radical leftist. And so, anyway, I just pointed out a very simple thing.

They're not renaming any other holidays.

So MLK Day is not. Yeah. Black Preacher Day, or so, you know, or Gay Pride Month is Gay Pride Month in Germantown, right? And I just pointed out: could you imagine the outrage if they did rename MLK Day? Or gay pride month.

Happy, happy holiday Pride Month. And so, anyway, they immediately got triggered. How dare you, you homophobic bigot! That's a dog whistle.

Well, bark, bark, baby. I d I mean, almost immediately it got triggered.

So I'm curious, do you have a problem with calling A Christmas tree, a Christmas tree. Is that a big issue for you? I'll take it a step further. Are they going to call Hanukkah Happy Candle Day? Are they going to do that?

At what point do you draw the line at people trying to destroy the creative? Because ultimately, ladies and gentlemen, let me explain what's going on here. They're not going to rename any of the Muslim holidays. They don't want to get blown up. They're not going to rename any of the LGBT days or months or years or whatever, how long they celebrate.

And you know why? Because they don't want to get called a bigot or a homophobe. They're not going to do any of that stuff. They know they can get away with attacking Christians. And there is an effort afoot to marginalize Christianity.

And this is one of the ways to do that. Todd, you're just so picky. It's just the name.

Well, yes, but I've been covering these kinds of stories for thirty years. And it always starts with Tolerance and diversity. And whenever you hear those two words, it means the Christians. are being discriminated against. That's what this is all about.

Let's go to the phones. John in Kentucky. John, what say you?

Well, Todd, first of all, the white Christmas is going to be called. Euro Caucasian Christmas. And my son and I Now I will definitely send you the card.

So you can That he looked big. Tonight the battle is joined.

Well, this is what's going on. We have to join in the battle against this stuff, but word is Okay, you ready?

Okay, Ben loved it. Happy Thanksgiving Festor Ramahanza Kwanzamas New Year. Oh, geez, hello. Mm-hmm. Yeah, 'cause it covers it all.

And I got this picture of a sled with all these different people on it, including a guy with an explosive thing on his head that looks like, you know, ooh. you know, like Osama, but yeah, happy Thanksgiving Festa Ramahanza Kwanzama's New Year Day. I like it, John. It sort of rolls off the tongue.

So maybe we can get a Hallmark card. All right, John, thank you for that. Appreciate the call. nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Or is this much ado about nothing?

901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. 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. Uh uh No. All right, we have breaking news, ladies and gentlemen.

Breaking news. Dieter, I know we're broke. We don't have Rush Limbaugh money, but we could at least get a breaking news sounder. We're working on it. All right, let me know.

I'll throw it a few dollars. All right, we have breaking news from Dade County, Florida. Where apparently A bunch of aggrieved vegans have invaded a Chick-fil-A establishment. We do have some audio here.

So a terrible Life of pain, agony, and suffering. These animals are born in KAAA, murders two million in three. Just like us. Just like us. Okay, a few things here.

First of all, really? It's just $2 million? I kind of figured there would be more. I mean, it is a poultry genocide, but you know what? They taste pretty darn good.

Throw in those pickles and the hot buttered buns. That's good eating.

So the vegans are upset because Chick-fil-A is serving chicken. And I don't, you know, look, if you're a vegan and you don't want to eat a chicken sandwich, then don't go to Chick-fil-A. Is it that really? Is it that difficult? And by the way, well, Dylan wants to know why they're not protesting at McDonald's.

Because, again, they only go after restaurants that are serving real meat.

So that's the reason why McDonald's is off the um. That yeah, they're not going to go there. They're not going to go there. May I just say, I think the people at Chick-fil-A, here's what needs to happen: somebody needs to go in there and personally just. Give every single one of the vegans a hefo.

They're not meat eaters, so they're very frail people. It's not like you're gonna except for a couple of them, and it's very clear to me they've been eating some cheeseburgers on the side. I'm just saying. So anyway, just give them the heave-ho or just tell. Tell the Chick-fil-A manager, sir, could you please remove the vegans from the restaurant?

And you know what? Do you know what the manager would say, Benditer? My pleasure. Yeah, exactly. My pleasure.

Were they saying Chicken Lives Matter? What were they saying? All right, let's play this. Can we play this again, Dylan? To a terrible life of pain, agony and suffering.

These animals are born in cages. Chick-fil-A murders two million just like us. Just like us. All animals. Want to live.

Todd, they're holding up signs saying we are all animals.

So that's why they're saying they're just like us. Oh, I see. May I ask a question, Ben Dieter? And I don't mean to be inappropriate here, but the vegans, do they believe the dark meat chicken lives matter or white chicken meat lives? Or is it just the dark chicken meat lives?

I think at this point they're calling for a ceasefire. It doesn't matter. Ceasefire, it doesn't matter if you're a dark chicken or a white chicken. Thank you for that. Yeah.

It's Monday. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? We're going to get into more of this story a little bit later on. I mentioned how some of the vegan protesters appear to be eating sides of beef on the side.

New York City has now enacted a law banning discrimination on weight. This is very interesting. Mayor Eric Adams was surrounded by very large people. Overweight people. And now it is going to be against the law to discriminate oh, and very short people, too.

The mayor says it's going to be a it'll be discrimination. It's against the law. To Discriminate against somebody because they might be short or because they might. you know, weigh six hundred pounds. Fat discrimination is now under the jurisdiction of New York's Commission on Human Rights.

This is the body that heads up discrimination issues. such as the LGBT alphabet people. Commissioner Annabel Palma. Said that most forms of appearance-based discrimination have persisted unchecked. What about hot chicks?

Are they protected under discrimination? Is that a. Is that against the law? Discriminate against them. According to the mayor.

Who is a health-conscious vegan?

Well, that explains a lot. He says science has shown that body type is not a connection to if you're healthy or unhealthy. All right, I'm just curious here. Just a random survey of the Todd Starns radio show audience. I mean, how many people How many people out there who are fit and healthy and run marathons?

Have diabetes compared to the 300-pound slobs that sit on the that sit on the couch eating ho-hos. How many of them have diabetes? I'm just asking. The mayor wrote a book detailing his journey on how he lost 35 pounds. Really?

That's it? Thirty-five pounds. The City Council Speaker, Adrian Adams, praised the move. All New Yorkers, regardless of their body shape or size, deserve to be protected from discrimination. Ben, I just have a simple question to ask.

And here it is as we go to break, ladies and gentlemen. Most buildings that are six or seven stories tall in New York City do not have elevators. Let's say you go into cardiac arrest on the seventh floor. Do you really want to rely on a 500-pound person climbing those stairs? With a stretcher to save your life?

I don't think so. All right, 901-260-5926. We'll take your calls on fat people coming up next. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-totin Bible-clinging deplorable American.

Want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line? PatriotMobile.com/slash Todd, by the way, to check out their great opportunities. Congressman Brandon Williams represents New York's 22nd congressional district. Congressman, I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Todd, it was great.

A couple of days out of D.C., which were badly needed. I feel like we've been captive there for ten weeks in a row, but we had our kids home and nothing makes it better than that.

Well, maybe some cornbread dressing and sweet potato pie, but you're right. It's always good to be around family for the holidays. You know, our son came home from college and he. was just intent on cooking the turkey for the first time. And he did the spatchcock uh in a in a brine.

The day before, and I got to tell you, honestly, it's the best turkey we've ever had. Really? I'm going to have to try that. I'm stunned. We do the smoked turkey down south, but that sounds delicious.

So we'll have to exchange recipes after the conversation here. I'll put you in touch with him. I love it. He's got the secret.

So, Congressman, we got to kick off the conversation with what happened at this high school in Queens, New York. The video's gone viral. A teacher was forced into hiding while a mob of high school students rampaged through the school, terrorizing people, hunting the teacher down, and they they were wanting to punish her because she supports Israel. A what in the world is going on in New York?

Well, unfortunately, we're seeing this across the spectrum where. Um You know, this ideology, I frankly tie it to the hard left. has teamed up with this Hamas Um Ideology, and it's just it's been allowed to fester in our schools for a long time. And now they're, you know, it's kind of ganging up, and it's showing very, very ugly anti-Semitism. And I got to tell you, I am full stop, all out in support of Israel, and will absolutely not tolerate this growth in anti-Semitism.

but I'm afraid that this is a hard left. where the roosters are coming home to roost. I'm afraid you may be right there, and it certainly appears, and we have seen some images on social media that give the appearance, or at least evidence. That these are all well organized, well funded protests where you have a lot of these signs and flags in place before the protest where people can just go and pick them up. Are you hearing any rumblings of that?

Well, Todd, we had a pro Hamas demonstration in the house office buildings about, what, five weeks ago, In the Cannon office building and in the Cannon Rotunda, you may remember, there's about 300 illegal protesters in the rotunda. We went out and found my office went out and found a large Israeli flag. And I stood over this protest as the single counter protest. with the Israeli flag, the Capitol Police came to arrest me. And literally, we're pulling out the zip ties when one of my staff intervened and said, you know, hey, you may not want to do that.

But this is the kind of thing that we're seeing. They were very well organized. They claimed they were there for peace and yet they were chanting from the river to the sea. And we all know now what that means.

So I have witnessed this firsthand exactly what you're describing, Todd. And it is frankly, it's disgusting. We frankly should find out who's behind it. I'm with you. And those kids need to be charged with crimes.

And using the ideology of the left here, those were hate crimes that were committed. As soon as they referenced in a derogatory manner the race of the teacher involved, I don't know whether or not she's Jewish. I know she's pro-Israel. But the way they framed the argument, those kids committed hate crimes, federal hate crimes. Yes, there's no question.

And they're doing it in many cases, particularly in some of our elite universities. They're doing it on campus. These are campuses that receive federal funding and state funding. And they are sanctioning This hate speech, and on their facilities, like you're describing in this public high school in Queens. And um It should be illegal, they should be punished.

But if you were to substitute if you were to take what those kids are chanting and who they're going after and substitute in any other vulnerable group I mean, the everyone would be outraged if it and yet because it's attacks on Jews and attacks against Israel Somehow it's free speech. And I have to tell you, that's disgusting. I speak out on it all the time, and I won't tolerate it. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, we are honored to have Congressman Brandon Williams from New York with us. And Congressman, you're a former Navy submarine officer, trained nuclear engineer.

The reporting coming out From USA Today, that among the military troops and sailors in the area. a nuclear powered submarine going into the Middle East.

Now fourteen Navy ships, we believe, in the Middle Eastern waters, in addition to the nuclear powered sub. What sort of deterrent does that provide for the region?

Well, as you know, submarines are number one in stealth. And particularly these variants, which is frankly exactly the same class of submarine that I served on, are the number one in firepower. And that makes them the number one in deterrence.

So the um What's been released, as you know, everything about submarines is super secret. I can tell you that on these nuclear submarines, believe it or not, Two-thirds of the crew. don't have security clearance to know where they are. Think about that. Like they're down there for months at a time, and they're not allowed to look at the charts, and they're not allowed to know where they are.

That's how secret these maneuvers are. But the boat in question, it carries more than 150 Tomahawk missiles. And I got to tell you, these missiles, they're not coming through your neighborhood. They're coming through your bedroom window. and they will detonate one thousand pounds of high explosives Um in the right place every time.

And everyone should think about that because the range of these missiles, you'll never know that they've been launched. You'll never see them coming because they come in very low. And they Are very accurate. That's putting it mildly. And So, you know what?

If you're going to deter our enemies, you really have to have the big stick And these are the biggest sticks in the arsenal. And, Congressman, over the weekend, I think Sunday, we got word that the four-year-old American, and she had celebrated a birthday on Friday, so she was three years old when she was abducted by Hamas. She's been freed. The White House, just a little while ago, saying no idea where the other people are, the other Americans, no idea whether or not they're going to be released or when or if, or if they're even alive. Is that good enough?

Are we getting enough information out of the White House? Are they doing enough to get these people back?

Well, first, let me just say: you know, God bless this little girl and her family. how sweet that reunion must be And I'm thankful that One American has been released. and I'm extremely anxious about all of the hostages that are being held by Hamas. I've met with some of the families that are here in New York, that have relatives being held by Hamas, and it is among the most painful human stories I've ever heard. But keep in mind that the Obama administration and now the Biden administration have actually empowered Hamas both through their Um support or I would say weakness towards Iran, but also in the back channels.

you know, offering aid and political support to Hamas. And so I think it's a double insult to the Biden administration that not only is he not able to secure the release of more Americans. But that all of that goodwill quote that he has shown Hamas over the years counted for nothing. And I think it reveals. The naivete of the Biden administration as well as the character of Hamas.

that you cannot trust them. They are not partners in any way, shape or form. And the fact that they've not released Americans, I think, should be informing the Biden administration everything they should have known already. I guarantee you, if there's different leadership in the White House, this would not be the case. And I get it.

I mean, I understand there are some Kazans that oppose Hamas, not many, based on all the polling that's done out there and based on who they elected to run their country. My concern is this: that we're not being forceful enough. And Biden needs to tell these people, somebody needs to tell these people, all right, you've got 30 minutes. Either start producing the hostages or we're going to start dropping bombs. I mean, it really is that simple.

Well, I think the um I think actually this ties into your segment about the students attacking the teacher in Queens. The reason the Biden administration is in such a pickle is because they're beholden to the progressive left. And the progressive left has overwhelmingly shown this kind of tolerance and even support of support for Hamas and the Heinus crimes that have been committed And so Biden's administration's problem isn't Dealing directly with Hamas, it's actually dealing with the progressive left in their own party. that along with the marks that's left, you know, have uh have sided with Hamas. And so what's really ugly about Biden's set of choices, he can't get tough with Hamas because then he'd have to take on a very good portion of his own party.

All right. Well, Congressman, we're going to leave it there. Good stuff as always, and appreciate you coming on the program. And we'll get you back on very soon.

Sounds great. Take care. All right, Congressman Brandon Johnson, ladies and gentlemen, or Williams, rather, Brandon Williams from the great state of New York. All right, let's go to the phones real quick here before we have to run to a break.

South Carolina, Diane, is calling in. And in the last moments of the last hour of the program, we told you about the vegans invading the Chick-fil-A restaurant there in Dade County, Florida. Diane, what you got for us? I'm just going to tell you, if you walk into the chicken coop, Don't get knocked out, don't faint, don't whatever, because they will eat your body so fast you won't know what happened.

Well, the chickens will. The chickens will eat you. I you know what, I just fished debone in the chicken my turkey rather for soup, and I'm going to bring those. chick uh chicken bones out in a few minutes and by tomorrow there won't be a s uh an inkling of the site.

Now, I I I'm just gonna express some uh surprise here, Diane. I didn't realize that so the chickens are carnivores is what you're saying. Oh my gosh, yeah, they'll eat anything. Wow. Whatever they don't eat, the goats eat.

Jeez a loo. All right. Well, that's good advice.

So technically, Chick-fil-A is saving human lives.

So they're saving humanity. By deep-frying the chickens. All right. Thank you, Diane. Wow, you learn something new every day here on the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

All right, we got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Go into the phones coming up next. Yeah.

Oh, Ben Dieter, I have some news. I know you follow uh journalism. And uh all the uh the gossip with all the cable TV uh the T V shows. I've got some gossip about Brian Stelter, the Hobbit. Mm.

The Garden Gnome. The Dwarf King, the Garden Gnome. I like that. The Garden Gnome. So he's got a new book out, The Expose on Fox News, which I have not read.

I don't know if I'm in it or not. I politely told him to go.

Well, anyway, he wanted me when I left Fox News. This is my Brian Stelter story. When I left Fox News. Specifically when they decided not to renew my contract. I got a message from him.

What did he say? He says, Hey, you know, I'm really sorry that, you know, Fox did not renew your contract. Would you be willing to give me some inside dirt on Fox, and I'll keep it anonymous. And I told the guy, you know, if I have something to say about Fox, I will say it, you know, on my radio program, not anonymously. You know, and then I politely invited him to go do something that was incredibly inappropriate.

Yeah boy. And is quite frankly anatomically, you can't do it, so it's impossible. But anyway, so I may or may not be in the book. A network of lies. And man, he has been on every single television show on God's Green Earth.

I mean, the publicity around this book is insane. Simon and Schuster, We share publishers. Wow. So uh but uh they I you and I know they paid him a boatload of money for this book. And they thought it was going to be like a huge New York Times bestseller.

So the reporting ad is Uh less than 4,000 copies of the book were sold in the first week. Mm. Wow. That's that's a dud. still more than watched reliable sources.

Well, that is true. Yeah, his book sold 3,807 copies. And he did outsell Michael Wolfe's anti-Fox newsbook, which only sold 3,200 copies. And what I find fascinating about this, first of all, you know, a lot of people think, oh, you're a book author, that means you're a multimillionaire. The average book in America, average book in America sells maybe I think it's 1,000 or 1,500 copies.

That's it.

So anything over that, you've got a pretty good book on your hands. But here's the problem with the Garden Gnome, as you called him. This is the problem. They paid him out the wazoo to publish this book, and they're not making back their money.

So they gambled.

So I guarantee you they paid him at least $100,000. For an advance. They're not making back that advance. Mm. I mean, he it's very interesting.

I caught excerpts of it, and I think he's really going after. I know one of his big targets in this book is Tucker Carlson. He says that Tucker was untouchable at Fox, and his producers knew he was untouchable.

So they walked around, and that was the attitude from the Carlson. He really doesn't like Tucker. I did read the Michael Wolfe book. And I was first of all, I was sort of fascinated by He's got very good sources. And I will say this, and how can I say this delicately?

According to Michael Wolf's book, a lot of people inside 1211 6th Avenue celebrate the month of June. A lot of people. I was kind of surprised that he named names. Anyway, we'll leave it there. Hang tight, everybody.

We're going to your calls coming up next. All right, welcome back, everybody. Let's go to the phone lines. Let's start with Susie in Gainesville, Georgia. Hi, Susie.

What's on your mind today? Hey Todd, I can tell you're feeling good today. You know, it's I'm fresh off of turkey. I didn't overdo it, I did not overindulge in the turkey. Susie.

Well, good.

However, the honey-baked ham, that's another story.

Well, good.

You sound just very chipper today.

Well, well, thank you. Have you listened to the. Interview that Tucker Carson did with the new Argentina president. I I did. Very impressed.

You know, the guy's basically a younger version of Trump. His hair is not as good as Trump's, but. He's a good guy. The era started in Anybody that wants to live in freedom needs to listen to that because I can see America heading that away, Todd. I can see us happening what happened in Argentina.

So when We need to get rid of these Extreme leftists Um Put my president back in there. Um I just pray for America Todd.

Well Go ahead. Susie, I think a lot of people feel the same way you do, and it gets to a point, and things got really bad in Argentina. I mean, this used to be one of the wealthiest nations in the world, and it was left in economic ruin because of socialist policies, because people, and we're seeing this happen here. They're not paying attention. They're not engaging in the political process.

The issue is not that we have a majority of America that thinks we ought to be socialist. We have a majority of America that just doesn't want to get involved. And that's our problem.

So, what's going to happen? One day, people will wake up and they will realize that they do not have free speech. They'll realize that they don't have rights anymore. And by that time, it'll be too late, and they'll have to take to the streets, and we'll be in the same situation that Argentina came out of and that Venezuela is currently in the middle of. What?

Hey, and I won't tell you how much I appreciate you. And don't ever, ever talk give in to laugh. Never. And I will tell you something funny. I have yard chickens, Todd.

They're black chickens and they lay brown eggs, but they're not laying any eggs now because chickens quit laying in the middle of November and don't lay again until the middle of February. You see, I am learning stuff all so so you and Susie, you're a woman of the Caucasian persuasion. Yeah. So, I am just so impressed that a white woman is raising black chickens, laying brown eggs. I mean, this is.

What a country we live in. Yeah. So, but they don't they don't lay now, Pod. They're not laying at all.

So, what time?

So, when do they lay? I'm just they won't. They won't start laying again until the middle of February because their time clock kicks off kicks out when where the time changes and the days get shorter, you know, less sunshine. then yard chickens don't like. But they will start laying again about the middle of February when we start getting more sunlight.

Well, I have to imagine it's got to be tough on the on the chickens because, you know, I mean, you're passing an egg for crying out loud. You know what that's going to that's going to wear you out. Yes, Easter. Right. So I just thought you'd get a kick out of that.

Susie, I love it. Thank you. And I'm just you know, I am I'm going to be able to get a degree in, I don't know, poultry. I feel like I'm doing the farm report here. This is great.

Susie, good hearing from you. And thanks for the kind words. Dieter, it's a great audience we have. And they're they're just so I I They're so tolerant. That a white woman could raise black chickens raising you know, laying bl brown eggs.

It's What the audience doesn't know is Todd requested a Kleenex during that last conversation. Conversation with Susie. Makes me proud to be an American. That a Dolly Partin. And you got the little Asian American yokes.

Yeah. God bless America. A little speckled quail eggs. There's the diversity. Can we play Jolene?

I'm sorry, America. I have to compose myself.

Alright, let's go to Thomas. Who's calling us from Georgia? The entire state of Georgia is listening to us today. Thomas, I've been asked to I've been told to ask you the name of your town. Satina Kuchi.

I'm sorry, you can't do that on the radio. What did you say again? Dot T Nakuchi. Yeah, I really don't think you can do that on the radio. All right, Thomas.

You know, good for you. Having to write that on your envelopes, wow. More power to you, sir.

Well, here we go. Even the post office shortens it to salt teeth. Oh, so you're saute. Oh, it's not saute, it's saute. Saute.

The Hoochie the Coochie. Saute, the Hoochie Coochie.

Okay, got it. All right, now. Yeah. Thank you, John. Is there a point to all of this time?

Yes. Well Yeah, everybody laughs when they ask me where I'm from. But anyway I was calling about uh The vegans invading the Chick-fil-A there in Bade County. I'm just kind of curious how many of these. vegan women have ever had an abortion.

Oh, sweet lord. they're they're they're so worried about, you know, um animals being killed, but you know, they don't seem to care about, you know, unborn babies. Yes, that fair enough. Fair enough, Thomas. Yeah, I don't think there's much rationale in what the vegans do or don't do.

And a lot of that has to do with the fact that their brains the brains are not functioning at full capacity because they're not eating meat. And they need all that meat to think correctly, and they're just not.

So, I part of me feels bad. It's really a tragedy for these people. But, but again, if you got a problem with Chick-fil-A serving chicken sandwiches, go to some place that doesn't serve meat. I mean, it really is that simple.

Thomas, we've got a run here. Appreciate that call, and thank you for that. Are we allowed to say the name of that town on the radio? Is that uh All right. Can we can we can somebody get on that, please?

This item from Ireland. Um Folks, what's happening over there right now, and God bless Conor McGregor. The The MMA fighter Who is now, I guess, threatening to maybe run for office, he's under investigation for possible hate crimes. Look, here's the deal.

So, unfortunately, across much of Europe, They have had unfettered immigration.

So Uh There's really not a polite way to say this, but the Muslims are once again conquering nations. This has happened in France already, it's happening in England. By the way, the number one name for newborn boys It's not Prince Charles. It's Muhammad.

So the country's been overrun. and it is a bad situation. It is it is not likely to be remedied without violence. And we saw a lot of that over the weekend, where one of the. Where one of the Muslim immigrants apparently stabbed a bunch of kids and caused all sorts of mayhem.

That's the allegation.

So people took to the streets and buildings were burnt down. There were fights. It was ugly.

So now they're calling for restrictions. As a matter of fact, the Prime Minister of Ireland actually said. And we'll try to hunt down this audio for you. I forgot about this. Was it last week the Prime Minister of Ireland said there are too many white people here?

Well, yes, it's Ireland. I mean, what are you supposed to? I mean, if there are too many white people in Ireland, where are they supposed to go? Sweden? A lot of white people in Sweden, blondhaired people.

Anyway, um So now you have another lawmaker. This is a senator with Ireland's Green Party. Her name is Pauline O'Reilly. No, she's not related to Bill. But her last name is O'Reilly.

And she says that, hey, we've got to start cracking down. They literally want to make posting or sharing a meme or just having a meme on your smartphone. They want to make that a crime.

So you could literally go to jail if you have a meme on your phone that offends somebody. Cut number 12. When you think about it. Ola. All legislation is about the restriction of freedom.

That's exactly what we're doing here: we are restricting freedom, but we're doing it for the common good. You will see throughout our constitution, yes, you have rights, but they are restricted for the common good. Everything needs to be balanced. And if your views on other people's identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then I believe that it is our job as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common good.

So there you have it. Over in Ireland, they're having a literal debate over restricting freedom for the common good.

So I'm working on a I'm working on a novel. And I'm not going to get into the heart of it yet. I'm just sort of in the outline stage. But the premise is that our rights and freedoms in this country have been outlawed. Because Islamic radicals are committing jihad on American soil.

And the only way to stop that from happening is to silence anything. That runs contrary to the thinking of Muslims. Which by the way has happened throughout world history. And that's what's happening right now in Ireland.

So you are going to see an effort across Western Europe to do away with all traditions. That might offend the Muslim population. And it will be for, as she just said, the common good or the greater good. Over the weekend they literally had Muslems desecrating the Westminster Abbey They were using the Abbey, the Abbey property. to conduct Muslim prayers.

Now, granted, in this particular instance, I would say that Westminster Cathedral there has been. has been desecrated by so-called Christians already. But the fact that in in London You could have Muslims. Doing something like that. It would be akin to evangelical Christians going into some great mosque in the middle of Saudi Arabia.

And proselytizing. You just don't do it. You let them do them, and you do you. That's how it used to be but now and a lot of people don't understand This is a holy war. And it is being waged.

in every major city in the world right now. That's what's going on here. And I hope that the people in. in the UK are able to fight back here and and reclaim Their territory that has been taken by the Muslims. But I don't know.

And by the way, this is a good reminder. I am still waiting, and if you have any evidence of this, please send it my way. I'm still waiting to see. The moderate Muslims who were protesting the kidnapping of that little four-year-old American girl. Anybody see any Any protest out there?

Anyone see Muslims marching in the streets of American cities demanding that Hamas release that little girl? Anybody? Anyone see? If you do, send that over to me because I've been told there are more moderate Muslims than radical Muslims. That's what I've been told.

I'd just like to see those people and I'd like to hear from them. We will open our radio show, our platform, to them. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Now, we know that you love Newsmax.

We have a health service that's very diverse, although less so as you go up towards the senior positions, not so much in the Guardians, not so much in the Defence Forces, not so much in the education sector, as the Deputy mentioned, not at all in the civil service, which is very white. Including the Department of Equality, for example, and that actually needs to change.

So we need to have, I think, a target for people who come from ethnic minority backgrounds, but also dedicated recruitment campaigns to encourage people, because we do need a generation of young people growing up in Ireland who are people of colour to see black and brown school principals, judges. Keen Coiler perhaps in the future. Who knows? Visibility and opportunity is really important. Wow.

There you go. You heard it from the head honcho himself right there, ladies and gentlemen. There are just too many white people in Ireland.

So, what are they going to do about it? Are they going to expel all the people of the Caucasian persuasion? I mean, at what. How do you get rid of all of the um The Irish soda crackers, I guess, is that the I don't know what they have over there. How do you do that?

And at what point, ladies and gentlemen, at what point do you just say enough is enough? Can we not go back to MLK's dream? I know this is controversial. Uh to bring up But, you know, MLK himself, the leader of the civil rights movement. once said that he dreamed of a of a country where people could be judged by the content of their character, And not the color of their skin.

And now here they are Out there literally judging people. By the color of their Skin.

So, anyway, my condolences to all of you folks over. By the way, are they allowed to, are you still allowed to have an Irish pub? Or maybe Maybe the workaround Ben Dieter is you've got the Irish pub there in Dublin, but instead of playing the jig, you play some rap music. Or R and B. Yeah.

But then you're dealing with appropriation issues. Big time. And I don't think you wear Jordans with a kilt.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

You could. Not a good look. No. Not a good look. I don't know.

Yeah. Bangers and mash is it bangers and mash? Is that what they uh Okay. Yeah. That may have a different meaning.

That may have a different meaning. So, anyway, it's rough. But, ladies and gentlemen, this is happening not just in America, but all over the world. All over the world. And that's why you are starting to see the uprisings.

And I say we need more of it. And sooner or later, people are going to wake up in this country. And I'm hopeful, and I think they're waking up. But when you've got places like Germantown, Tennessee, of all places, Having a debate over whether or not we should call Christmas Christmas. We've got problems in this country.

That is the canary in the coal mine, if you will. All right, we've got to take a break here. Hour three coming up. Our Newsmax TV audience joins us for our live simulcast. Our telephone number is 901-260-5926.

That's right. I love this American ride. Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Spearners Radio Program. Happy to have you with us today.

A lot going on across America. Our telephone number, if you would like to call in today, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. And we certainly want to welcome our great Newsmax TV audience as we simulcast this hour of the program on the radio and, of course, on our great radio, on our great TV affiliate, Newsmax2. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.

We're honored to have Congressman Kevin Kiley joining us from the great state of California, representing the 3rd Congressional District. Congressman, hope you're doing good today. Absolutely. Thanks for having me on.

So, Congressman, a lot of people are paying very close attention to a debate this week between Gavin Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. A lot of people are speculating that this could mean that Newsom is going to be running for the White House, possibly challenging Joe Biden. What's your take on what we're about to see later on this week?

Well, I'm not sure there's any speculation about it. I mean, even Senator John Betterman recently. Said that Newsom is running for president, just doesn't have the guts to say that. Yeah. Uh and you know this debate Is part of his whole rollout and his sort of presidential campaign.

in waiting, but he has for some time been repeating this delusional line that California is a model for the nation. Those of us who live here in California know that it's precisely the opposite, that under Gavin Newsom we have seen stunning decline and failure, and that his California is a warning to the nation. And so I've been suggesting some questions about Newsom's record of decline and failure with the hopes that they will be asked. they'll make their way into the debate so that Americans can see that what he has done to our state is exactly what we do not want to be done to our country. Yeah, Congressman, that's what blows my mind.

The guy thinks that he can actually run on his record as governor of California. I would even take it back to the early days of the pandemic when he was one of these do-as-I-say, not-as-I-Do governors, being caught eating dinner at the French laundry, again, violating a lot of the policies that the average Californian had to obey or else they would get in trouble.

Well, that's exactly right. The hypocrisy was absolutely historic. You mentioned French Laundry, which is one of the fanciest restaurants in the world. Newsome is caught dining there when at the same time that he is imposing the strictest, longest lasting lockdowns, the business shutdowns. Of any state in the country.

Also, he imposed the longest-lasting school shutdowns of any state in the country at the same time that he sent his own kids. In-person private school. But then you look at what is the result of all of this of California suffering an economic and An educational calamity at the hands of Newsom, unlike any other state during the COVID era.

Well, all of the evidence now shows. California had among the worst public health outcomes in the country as well. And so Newsom is now trying to. Find some sort of scapegoat. He's saying, well, we didn't know at the time.

He's saying, well, it was the fault of local officials. But the fact is, the fault was entirely Newsom, that he implemented a one-man rule that lasted for three years in our state and caused a damage that is going to be with us for generations to come.

Well, Congressman, we know how this is going to play out. Newsom is going to try to make this a culture war battle, going after DeSantis on Disney and the schools, and the Moms for Liberty, and the textbooks in the library. Here's what gets me, though. I don't think there's any way he can be the nominee only because he is a white. Heterosexual rich guy.

I don't think the Democrat Party can actually pick somebody like that.

Well, on your point about the culture war issues that Newsom just loves to talk about, and he spends half his time at CEAS talking about these policies in other states. I think that and this is the the way I've structured my suggested questions, is to bring those things back to the issues that actually matter and that people care about.

So for example, he loves talking about supposed Book bans that exist in other states. And yet, in the questions, I point out that he's hardly spoken at all about literacy rates in California. California has the lowest literacy rate in the country. There are 800 schools here where 75% of students don't read at grade level. Our most recent eighth grade reading scores are worst out of any state that is measured in the entire country.

So I like him asked, why are you so much more concerned about what kids are reading in other states than about kids in your own state not being able to read at all? On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today is Congressman Kevin Kiley from California talking about the upcoming debate this week. Gavin Newsom going toe to toe with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. What is it that the party needs to do, Congressman, to be effective and to win races in 2024?

Well, I think if you look at what's going on in this country right now, all of the issues are favorable towards change. I mean, this administration's record on the economy has been an absolute disaster. This administration's record on the border has been more disastrous than anything we've ever seen in our country's entire history. We're seeing threats to our national security. We're seeing crime just out of control in major cities across the United States, including several in California.

And voters have been very, very clear that they want a new direction, that they want change. And the thing is that what Gavin Newsom is offering is not a new direction, is not change. It is taking us even further down the path that this country is on right now. That's what he means when he says California is a model for the nation. We've already seen.

Joe Biden adopts the California model to some extent, and Newsom's prescription to go all of the way to turn our entire country into San Francisco, which is declining right now faster than any major city in U.S. history, it is exactly the wrong thing for our country.

So I believe a message of change that speaks to these issues that are really mattering in the lives of Americans is how we'll be able to get a great result next year. Congressman, I love California. In years past, vacationed there in San Francisco as well as down in Newport Beach. And I hear there's so many good friends that refuse to leave. They want to stay and fight.

The reality is California controlled by a supermajority of Democrats. What is it going to take just to move the needle even slightly to start getting Republicans elected in California?

Well, I think actually you've seen some signs that voters in this state have had enough and are looking for change. Even in San Francisco, which is the most liberal city in the entire country, They recalled their district attorney, one of these so-called progressive prosecutors. They recalled him from office. They recalled three of their school board members who had refused to open schools. Even last year, if you look at Newsom's reelection, he dramatically underperformed the partisan registration in the state.

And, you know, as you say, you also have people leaving the state in absolutely record numbers. California's out-migration rate is higher than any state in the country. We've led the nation in U-Haul rentals each of the last three years.

So there absolutely is, I think, all of the pieces in place for a message of revival, of returning to the values that made California as the state that everyone wanted to come to, rather than the state that everyone wanted to leave behind. There is an opportunity for making that case. And so I think that right now, the battles that we have, I'm a United States representative from California, are one and the same when it comes. to California when it comes to the country. It's to restore some sanity to our state and our country and get back on track.

All right, good stuff.

Well, Congressman, we're going to leave it there. We'll be watching very closely that debate, the big heavyweight battle, later this week. Thank you very much, Congressman. You bet. Thanks, Dodd.

All right. There you go, Congressman Kevin Kiley. And again, the question, ladies and gentlemen, doesn't even matter. Why is Ron DeSantis doing this? Do you think that, let's just say DeSantis scores a knockout punch here?

Does that move the needle at all right now? Because every single poll that's out there shows President Trump overwhelmingly in control. And a lot of people are wondering if this is just an unnecessary sideshow. But when you see The level of excitement directed at Donald Trump going into the stadium in Columbia, South Carolina. You had the Gamecocks, you had Clemson going at it, and President Trump was cheered by everybody except for the marching band.

And those little woke losers booed the president, but the president got a massive, massive ovation. I don't see anybody making up the ground. None whatsoever. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show, and we are simulcasting this hour of the program on Newsmax 2. I want to say hello to all of our great viewers on Newsmax today. Let's go to the phone lines.

Stephen is listening to us from Southern Ohio. Hi, Stephen. What's on your mind today? Hey, Todd, how you doing? I'm well, thank you for asking.

Yeah, I was just uh wanting to say that uh Whenever Trump wins the election next year, That these Hollywood stars that are talking about leaving the United States when he becomes our President again. If somebody'd send me out there, I'd help them pack up and get out of our country.

Now, you see, Stephen, you're a great American patriot, and not only that, you are neighborly. And I respect that here on this program. Yeah, Bruce Springsteen, I believe, is the latest. And Springsteen says that if Trump wins, he's on the next flight to Australia.

So, Stephen, down in Dixie, we have a saying: don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you. Amen to that, God. All right, Stephen, I suspect a lot of other patriots just like yourself would be more than willing to help these Hollywood elites pack up and I don't know. Head over to Gaza City. I hear it's very lovely this time of year.

Stephen, appreciate that call. God bless you. Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. All right, I've got to play this audio for you.

This is This is cringe. And Ben Dieter, I know that you've heard this audio. And it is shocking. We've told you the stories about the transgender activist and they're going in there and they're whacking this off and whacking this off. And it's a very unfortunate thing, this body mutilation.

But some moron just spent twenty thousand dollars to mutilate his vocal cords.

So, this is a man. who said I want to sound like a woman.

Now And again, I'm not sure about the transgender way of life, but basically they're faking their voice, right?

So they'll talk in a higher-pitched voice than is their normal God-given voice. Right? That that's how all of this goes.

So, this guy you're about to hear, and you're going to hear the before and you're going to hear the after. This guy spent $20,000 to have voice surgery. Take a listen. Yeah. Alright everyone, this is it.

So glamorous, right? This will be the last recording with my old voice. Um before I heading into voice feminization surgery, I won't be able to speak for two weeks and then it'll be it'll still be another month before I have 100% usage of my voice.

So wish me luck and I will see everyone on the other side.

Okay, it has now been 15 months since my first voice feminization surgery. Spent $20,000, had three different procedures. This is probably about as good as it's going to get.

So let's do a little before and after, but we are not going to do the tired rainbow passage. Instead, we are going to do lyrics from a late 80s UK band called Pop Will Eat Itself. Here goes: before and after. 1-2-Check high-tech in stereo. Quad row, any way you go, but loose.

1-0-0-1 uses. We got the juice, the bruise, the fuses. The volume in this room is much too groomed. We need a big bad boom. Noise KO, disco inferno.

Hey-ho, yo, let's go. Let's rock the show. Blow the speakers, see them glow.

So now you know. It's not what you do, but the way that you do it. The speakers you blew, but the way that you blew it. PWEI always knew it. We'll teach all this in a song.

It won't take long. Did it? We're through with it. Hit it. That's it.

First of all, I didn't realize they had such a thing as voice feminization surgery. But I'm not detecting he doesn't sound any different. That cost a whopping twenty twenty twenty thousand dollars? My goodness. Let me just say this.

Wouldn't it be easier to chop off your private parts and then you'll be singing soprano? I don't think that's how that works biologically. I still think he'd sing bass in the choir. I don't know. I d I don't know.

It's but that guy sounds as he doesn't sound any different. And you can't tell me that's his real voice. All right. This is my voice This is my woman this is my womanly voice. Ugh.

I had a Sunday school teacher, a dude, that sounded like that. He didn't last long. A transgender? No, he just had a very feminine voice. Oh, that's awesome.

Very. All right. Yeah, that's not going to work. Baptist church? Yeah, definitely not going to work.

Yeah. Well, it could, but not for long. Oh, that's unfortunate. All right. Folks, I just don't hear it.

I do not hear voice feminization surgery. Who knew that was a thing? All right. Let's go to the phones here. Teresa is hanging out with us from California today.

Hi, Teresa. You just heard that. Did you hear any difference in the guy's voice? Actually, I heard a little bit of it, but my son came in with my granddaughter, so I kind of missed a little bit of it. Yeah, I know.

What's that now? I get to hear a lot of that around California. I guess there's a booming business for voice voice and feminization surgery out there, Teresa. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.

It's sad. What's on your mind, Teresa? Hey, you know what? I want to give a shout out to Chassis County, California, because we are the last red stronghold in California. We're fighting like hell to keep the cancer from spreading out to the other states.

So If you hear of anybody who can give support to Shasta County, that would be awesome. We've got three of the best. Um Chef's County Supervisors out there, and they are all doing everything they can to make sure that we've got free and fair elections. We fired the Dominion machine, but our ROV is uh Yeah, she's a liberal, so she's been, you know, bought and paid for.

Well, Teresa, I will, Teresa, let me say this about Shasta County. I know a thing or two about your county, and you're right. You guys are hardcore conservatives, and I say hardcore because you have to be hardcore conservatives in California to get anything done.

So you just had the opportunity to give your county a shout-out nationwide, border to border, coast to coast, and good for you. And keep fighting the good fight. And we'll try to get some of those Shasta County conservatives on the show down the road. We've got to leave it there, Teresa. Got to take a quick break.

Again, folks, our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starge Show. All right, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show America. I'm Todd Stearns, your host.

Great to have you with us. Hope you had a great turkey day. Good football over the weekend too, at that Alabama Auburn game. Jeez a loop. You got to love the SEC, Southeastern Conference.

My condolences to all of you, Ohio State fans. This story out of Wisconsin. Where folks are ready to deck somebody's halls, a museum there, the National Railroad Museum. Allowed the satanic temple. To erect a tree at the annual Christmas tree festival.

The museum's chief executive officer defended the demon-possessed tree in the name of tolerance and diversity. Really, really? Because I I find it very hard to believe they would allow or they would have allowed the Satanists to erect a a tree to commemorate a Muslim holiday. But then again, who knows? Anyway, the alphabet activists were also allowed to erect a gender diversity tree that included pink and blue colored transgender flags and ornaments adorned with pro-trans messages.

Oh, by the way, the The satanic tree was adorned with red lights, pentagrams, and ornaments that said, Hail Satan. You know, I'm just surprised. that the tree did not spontaneously combust.

So here's the deal. They say this is all about tolerance.

Okay.

Then If in fact this is about tolerance, why is it that they call it the National Railroad Museum? Why limit the National Railroad Museum to just railroads? What about cruise ships? What about little horse and buggies? What about Tesla's?

Jesus is the reason for the season, ladies and gentlemen, not the Prince of Darkness, and not a bunch of pronoun confused soy boy activists. Jeez a Lou Come on What's wrong with you people in Wisconsin? Yeah. All right, let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926.

Let's go to Chris in Dayton, Ohio. Chris, what's on your mind today? You know, Todd, I'm just trying to figure out how we fix stupid in America. Yeah, this wokeness is uh it it's it's really running rampant and you know, when my seven-year-old kid knows how terrible our President is and grown adults can't figure it out, that's a problem.

Well, it is a problem, Chris, and you've apparently got a very smart child on your hands, but. We are dealing with a President who is simply not capable of governing, and he's not capable of running for reelection either.

So this is really only a matter of time before the Democrats give this guy the heave hoe. But do you think they will though? They're telling us that the economy's great and everything's better. And is it? I don't think so.

Chris, let me ask you a question. In Dayton, Ohio, were they doing wall-to-wall coverage of the stores packed with shoppers on Black Friday? No, they were doing all kinds of negative stuff.

So here's the deal, Chris. The problem is there were no massive crowds at any of the malls this weekend. That's the story. Is that people were not out, they were not shopping in massive numbers. And I know that they're telling us the economy is great, but in reality, people are not out there Christmas shopping like they've done in years past.

And quite frankly, I'm not sure they can afford to.

So look, the Democrats are a lot of things, but they're not stupid. And look, Joe Biden will not be the nominee. Will it be Gavin Newsome? I don't think so. I just don't think they can put a straight, white, rich guy as the head of the party, especially with the progressives like AOC running the show.

Oh yeah. I agree with that one 100%. And Gavin Newsom's an idiot. Like, if he thinks that taking guns is going to solve crime, I mean, Jesus, come on. All right.

Chris, appreciate that call and thank you for listening. This story from the Washington Post causing a lot of concern. Among Republicans. Here's the headline. From Josh Dawsey's Peace Donations to GOP drop as worries mount about the party's finances.

So here's the problem. The Republican National Committee only has about $9 million in cash on hand. That is the lowest amount for the RNC in any election report since February of 2015. Just so you understand where we're at here. In 2016, at the same point in 2016, The Republicans had $20 million in the bank.

Now just four years ago, coming out of the first Trump term, they had almost $61 million in the bank.

So now they've only got about 9.1. The Democrats Have almost twice as much, $17.7 million in the bank. They interviewed an RNC member from Tennessee by the name of Oscar Brock. He says it's a revenue problem. We're going through the same efforts we always go through to raise money, the same donor meetings, retreats.

Digital advertising, but the return is much lower this year. The staff is going to have to tighten down on expenses to keep the party from going into the red. Also, they're saying that donors have not cut as many large checks to the RNC in recent years, and the party's small dollar program has also suffered.

So why is that?

Well, I'm going to make this very simple for you, ladies and gentlemen. The super wealthy? The Chamber of Commerce Republicans. They don't want Trump as the nominee, so they're not giving money. They're holding their money.

And that's their right to do. The small dollar donors are the folks like you and me, and we're not donating because we're sick and tired of these people campaigning as conservatives, but once they get to Washington, DC, they act like Democrats.

So the RNC has a big problem on its hands, but the greater problem is leadership. And Ronna McDaniel. She always wants people to forget that she is the niece of Mitt Romney, Romney. Ronna Romney McDaniel. The problem is her.

And as long as she is going to be in charge of the RNC, we will be losers. I mean, it really is that simple.

We have yet to win an election cycle with Ronna Romney McDaniel at the helm of the RNC.

So here you have it, folks. And say what you will about the big dollar donors, but if they're not putting in their money. They think that's going to hurt Trump. And they believe that that that is going to keep him out of the White House. And if they truly believe that's the best way, the most effective way.

to sabotage Trump. That's what they're doing. I mean, it really is that simple.

All right, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. By the way, folks, it is Cyber Monday. What does that mean? We've got some great stuff happening over at ToddStarnes.com.

Check out our store. We have great gifts for all of the conservative loved ones in your life. Also, all of the books, everything on sale over at ToddStarnes.com. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody.

Good to have you with us. This is the Todd Starnes radio show. A lot going on today. Let's go to the phones. Maria in Hendersonville, North Carolina, wants to weigh in on these RC donations being down.

All right, Maria, why do you think it is? Hi, Todd. I think it is because we small dollar donation people have made up our minds. We are voting for Trump And so there's no need to throw money into the R and C pot when we're voting for Trump.

So for example, someone like yourself, you would rather give money directly to, say, the Trump campaign than have it go to the RNC? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I love President Trump. I pray for him every day.

And there needs to be more organized praying for him so that we get some results in effect. But uh yeah. no use in throwing all small dollars away when Biodynomics has a strapped To buy a grocery. That's true. Oh, by the way, Joe Biden just said that he provided the cheapest Thanksgiving on record, which we have already fact-checked and have proven that to be false.

Marie, appreciate that call. And thanks for listening to us in beautiful Hendersonville, North Carolina. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Ann in Texas.

Hi, Ann. What say you? Oh, I'm Bless the Kingdom Play. Excuse me. I have a question for you.

You know the the R uh Reco Act. The R I C O I that's man made, isn't it? Don't aren't they using that against Trump they can you they can do what they want? They yes, and they can and they are. And we're talking about the the Georgia RICO Act, which uh they're using against President Trump and a lot of the others down in Fulton County, Georgia.

And this particular state law is based on the federal law, and but here's the problem: it's that the state law in Georgia is much tougher than the federal law, and it's a pretty powerful tool that prosecutors can use.

Now, again, not getting into the basics and the weeds of the Trump case. But it will allow somebody to go after the head of an organization, for example, President Trump. without having to prove that President Trump directly engaged in a conspiracy or any acts that violated state law.

So I mean, they that's why this is a dangerous move. That the prosecutors made down there. It's going to be tricky, but again, I don't believe that the president committed any crimes. Yeah. Right, I don't either.

He's in our press every day. I know that he's going to win. But gosh. It's fine. They don't have any say.

They don't have any say, you know, Trump's that at all. And it it's horrible. It's just It got to the point where um, truck get out of the way, new people get out of the way, we're we're in charge and that's it. That's it.

And look, the average American sees through all of this. But beyond that, and Trump is definitely winning in the court of public opinion, ultimately. These kinds of cases will be resolved, and I suspect in Trump's favor. Again, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong here.

So, Anne, you hang in there, and thanks for listening to us in Belmont, Texas. All right, I want to play some audio. Many of you went home for Thanksgiving. Hope you had a great Turkey Day celebration. And I don't know what it's like in your deck of the woods, but with the Starnes family, we're all somewhat of like mind, so we really don't talk that much about politics.

At Thanksgiving, but if we do, everybody's of the like mind.

So there are no like knockdown dragout fights at the Stearns family gatherings.

However, that is not necessarily the case. In other families. And I want to play some audio here. This is someone abusing her elderly grandmother by forcing her to learn new pronouns. Cut 18.

I never heard of that. What? I only heard of lesbians or or gays. But I never heard of what she is. Never mind.

I can't say she. I made a mistake.

Sorry. It's okay. Non. D-O-M N-O-N. Dun none.

N O N Dun. What? Oh yeah. Non-binary. When I see it in writing, I can remember it.

You learn something new every day. You do. All right. This is nuts.

Now, I I can only hope that somebody in that family grabbed a turkey leg or, I don't know, a wooden a wooden spoon and uh smacked that child upside the forehead. Because that's just unacceptable. To abuse an elderly grandmother by forcing her to learn new pronouns. What's wrong with you peop? What is wrong with you people out there?

Shame on you. Unbelievable. But this all comes back goes back rather to Barack Hussein Obama. Remember when Obama was in the White House? Before Obama, we used to have fairly peaceful Thanksgivings except for maybe the crazy uncle who had a little bit too much to drink.

But when Obama got elected, what is it that he told the kids to do? When you go home, From when you go home from school, you need to make sure that you You Correct your parents, and you get into a fight with your uncle, who might be a conservative, and you have that knockdown drag out fight. But look, the whole point of this was to destabilize the family. That's what that's all about. And it started with Barack Hussein Obama.

That's when it started. All right. Let's go to the phone lines here. John in South Carolina. Hi, John.

How are you today? depressed but good, and I thank you for taking my call. I've been a political junkie and a history major for over half a century. You know, may I say that In my history readings, in 1917, Lenin said, quote, give me your four-year-olds and I will create the ultimate socialistics estate.

Well that's what's going on in this country now for decades. Thus, I'm getting around to what money can do. Money brainwashes people. That's why everybody's saying we don't have enough money. Why?

Because they know how easy the American public is to brainwash. And I'm sorry to say, but many Americans, quote unquote, if not most, stupid Okay, I'm not worried about being TC with PC. We're past that point in our country right now. We're trying to basically wrench. as a metaphor, not metaphorically, but our President, Trump, who should be in office right now, never mind next year.

Our country has basically died. And what's helping the nails in the coffin is the lack of an honest judicial system. I'd like to know where I'm wrong, sir.

Well, John, a couple of things here, and you're spot on. But just think about the statement I'm about to say. This will trigger so many people, but it gives you, it really illustrates where we are as a country right now. The idea that we would be better off as a country if perhaps more moms stayed at home and raised the kids, and dads went out and earned the paycheck. To pay the bills and the groceries and the whatnot.

Now, that used to be a very common sense approach to the family in America. But you say something like that today, they will try to destroy you. You'll be called every name under the book. But to your point, They have to destroy the American family. That's the key to the socialist, then communist takeover of America.

You're going to have a much better chance of raising. productive members of society. Right now, that's not happening in a lot of cities across America.
