New Arizona Clerk is Teenage Theater Kid Who Makes Ramen Noodles

Hi, it's Delilah. I believe every child deserves enough food to grow healthy and strong. Right now, children are dying from hunger. Through World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization, thirty dollars will feed one starving child for an entire year. Give monthly and provide a year of meals for another child every month while sharing Christ's love.

Call eight three three three hunger or visit WorldHelp. dotnet/radio. From Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Star. That's love. That's right.

Our love is American. Right. All right, just look. I know it's Friday, and I know people are still coming to terms with with what's going on. It's like denial, right?

You're you're going through the stages of grief and all that sort of whatnot. And man, man, is there there's just a lot of angst right now in the in the nation. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Great to have you with us today.

So. I've been all over the place. I've been up since the crack of dawn. A lot of these TV networks asking me to come on and share my opinion of what what I think happened over over the you know election day, and I've given my two cents worth. May I just say something here?

I um I don't know if the Republicans actually get it yet. I really don't. I'm hoping they do, but I don't. Think they get it just yet?

So we're going to talk about this day. It's Open Line Friday, and I know a lot of you folks are are fired up. Many of you are, dare I say, frustrated. Many of you are ready to to toss in the towel. I want to encourage you not to do that, ladies.

Do not do that. That's what the left wants you to do. That's what the media wants you to do. You can't do it. You got to stand up, and we got to fight.

We've got to soldier on. We've got to we've got to persevere. I remember when I was a kid. I'm going to give you a an example of this. When I was a kid, I remember when.

Oh, what was it? We had a neighbor, and the neighbor just a sweet grandmotherly type lady. And my dad broke his leg, so mom had to take dad to the hospital, and the neighbor kept me. And I remember I was so excited because she's a grandma, so you know you're going to eat well. And sure enough, she fixed a.

Hamburger for lunch, and I was so excited as little Todd was so excited. But then I also looked down, and there was something else on that plate—something that was unfamiliar to me. Normally, when you eat a hamburger, there is something called a French fry or maybe some potato chips, but there were no potato chips on that plate. There were no French fries on that plate. Instead, there was this.

Pale green oval shaped object. There were there was a pile of them, and in my little my little eight or nine year old brain, I'm like, "What the heck is this?" It looked like somebody had sneezed, and there were little um little pale buggerets right there on the hamburger plate. I had no idea that there was a vegetable known as a lima bean. I never heard of such things. And the grandmother, the sweet, precious grandmother, said, "Before you eat your hamburger, you got to eat the lima beans.

Eat the lima beans." I really wanted that hamburger, and I wanted that hamburger so bad I ate those lima beans. To this day, I cannot eat a lima bean. Can't do it. Can't do it. But you know what?

I wanted the hamburger, so I had to soldier through and eat up those lima beans, Dylan. I just realized this is the worst possible example known to mankind. I just midway through, midway through, doing great, Todd. I think this makes sense. I'm just telling you.

Sometimes you gotta you gotta you gotta go through stuff you don't want to go through to get to the good stuff. And and we're gonna do that, ladies and gentlemen. I can promise you on this program, we're going to do that every single day. We are not going to be depressed. We are not going to be demoralized.

We're gonna we're gonna soldier on here. And if we have to smack around the Republican Party, we're gonna smack around the Republican Party. But I've got to share this story with you, whereas we got to get Ian in here because Dylan, there's a story out of Arizona, and this is the craziest. This just shows you how bad. Things are in in in Republican politics right now.

Maricopa County, they've got the the clerk of the superior court there, and it's sort of like a big deal. It's like the fourth largest clerk in the entire nation. This is huge. Seven hundred employees, seven hundred employees.

So anyway, there was a big election, of course, and you have to run for the office. A guy by the name of Jeff Dial who. Was a very well qualified guy. I mean, he has all sorts of great credentials, and he was the Republican nominee. And then there was a teenager, a nineteen year old Arizona State University theater kid, and his claim to fame is that he's known because he likes to cook ramen noodles.

You know, I've never had a ramen noodle. Really, never had a ramen noodle. You should dig into that. It's pretty cheap.

Well. Dylan, I don't eat cheap. No, my bad. Thank you. You're you're more than normal noodle guy.

I. That's right. I don't do off-brand.

So anyway, this guy he's known for his ramen noodles, and he's a theater kid. He's 19 years old, and he decided that he was going to run as a Democrat. And I'll be darned if the kid did not. If he didn't win, he the nineteen year old is now. By the way, he turned in.

He was late turning in every single thing that he had to turn in for the political campaign. I want you to take a listen to to this kid. They interviewed him, and he's just. I'm not sure if he understands the magnitude of of what's happened here. Let's take a listen.

I mean, I only got a campaign manager like three weeks ago. He's an ASU sophomore who graduated high school last year. I study philosophy of law, politics, and morality. With hobbies like fencing, theater, and debate. When I was in high school, I went to four debate national tournaments.

He pulls all nighters like any college student. Until 6:00 a.m. this morning, I've been up for 30 hours. Though his involved monitoring election results. I mean, I vehemently enjoy campaigning.

I vehemently enjoy everything that I've done up to this point, and I'm sure I'm vehemently going to enjoy the clerk's office. That's right. I'm a normal kid. Who's running for office? He's 19 and soon to be the clerk of superior court in the nation's fourth largest county, leading an office which processes 15,000 documents and nearly half a million dollars each day.

His opponent, former Republican state senator Jeff Dial, tells me he has conceded to Mata. Writing today, quote, "To everyone who volunteered, thank you. This great state runs on people like you. I hope the clerk's office finds great success in the future." During the campaign, Dial and others criticized Mata for filing campaign finance reports a week late. The reason I filed my campaign finance report late is because my accountant went dark on me, and I don't think that the accountants here are going to go dark on me.

Says his priorities are e-filing for probate cases and more foreign language access in the courts. But first, he knows he'll have to earn the trust of the people he'll be leading. I don't plan on instituting some of my campaign changes for a couple months, even a year in. The first long while of my tenure will be getting to be. With the staff, I mean, I understand that it's very scary to have a nineteen-year-old be your boss, but I am not just any nineteen-year-old.

Oh, he's muy loco, vehemently. He's nineteen, Dylan, vehemently. Very nineteen vehemently.

So I got to thinking about this.

So the kids, nineteen year olds. Ian, how old are you? I'm seventeen.

So you're seventeen years old, and you're already in college. Yes. Right. Could you imagine, as just you know, two years from now, you could theoretically run for office and lead a team of seven hundred people in the superior court clerk's office? You know, I never thought about that.

Really, it seems like he just kind of ran on. A whim, and somehow won. Dylan, is that what it's sounding like here? I don't know. It just it tells more about the Republican Party than the Democrat Party.

I think at that point. I mean, you had this guy, this Jeff Dial guy, the Republican, who is you know a grown adult with children, who's been through puberty and like has qualifications. I just don't see. It just tells me that every Democrat there in Arizona went through, and if there was a D behind their name. And they got elected.

No, it seems like that. And being nineteen doesn't necessarily disqualify him from the position. But odds are that he won't do a great job because of his lack of qualifications. Here's what bothers me: nobody's going to get their email returned, and nobody's going to get their text messages returned. Right.

Right. What are you trying to say, Todd? I'm just saying you people don't answer your text messages. We we're good with emojis. We can we can do that.

So is this guy like? Would he be? Is he a Gen Zer or is he a Gen Alpha? Gen Z. Oh, he is Gen Z.

Oh, jeezaloo.

Well, that again just shows you how crazy this election cycle is. I've I've never seen anything like it, guys. Yeah, this is wild. Like. Just the movement away from the Republican Party has been pretty insane to witness right now.

I just, Ian. Thank you for that. And so the here's here's where we're at, and and I just want you to think about this number, ladies and gentlemen. And we're going to get to your calls. I want you to think about this: only seventeen percent of registered evangelical Christian voters bothered to show up at the poll on Tuesday.

That tells us that millions and millions, possibly tens of millions, of evangelical Christians. Decided on Tuesday, they would rather they would rather live under communist or Islamist rule. That's what the evangelicals of America decided when they stayed home on Tuesday, and I'm not sure everybody understands exactly. What that means, so we're we're going to have a chance to clean up the mess, and we're going to get to more of that in just a few moments. We're going to have a chance to fix all of this, but the reality is.

It's going to be it's going to be a tough little slog for for a lot of folks, and again, I just can't understand Christians deciding that we would be better off under communist rule. I don't get the LGBT folks who are out there, and they're saying, you know, free, free Palestine. When these are the same people that want to throw them off the the buildings. By the way, guys, did you see the? That they had the little gay fella who was singing the national anthem at the NBA game last night.

Yeah, I did. And guess what? He whipped out. Right there in front of God and country. Yeah.

Okay. I could have framed that question differently. He he pulled out he pulled out a gay pride flag. Right. Yeah.

He's that's it. That's all he. That's all he did. At first, I'm thinking, okay, that's not bad. It's a you know good version.

Oh, say can you see? He was very. It was flamboyant. Flamboyant national anthem doesn't go well. By the dawn's early is like you know, and then all of a sudden he reaches.

Is in and people are like, what is he reaching in for? And he pulls it out, and it's a gay pride flag. Wow! I have really, yeah, the innuendos. I'm sorry, what is wrong with me?

There's no other way to say it though. He pulled out the flag. Are the land of the free? It was a rough performance, but he was just waving his little teeny tiny flag there for everybody to see. I am going to stop now.

Before you get kicked off the air, I know. You know what? We got to take a call. We've got to right the ship here, ladies and gentlemen. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

Let's start today in Atlanta. Ret joins us from Atlanta. Ret, what's on your mind? Hi, Todd. Thanks for taking my call.

Um. Last night on another show, we learned about a county in Arizona, one that you just mentioned, I believe, and they reported that the Republicans weren't sent ballots. Maricopa County is what you're talking about. And when people called to go, "Where's my ballot?" they go, "We were." They were sent to the alternate address, and the person goes, "What alternate address?" And said, "Well, can we do something about it now?" They said, "No, it's too late." Click.

So that's what we learned last night about what happened there.

So let me ask you. Let me ask you this, Rhett. I'll just go ahead and rip this bandaid right off. There. A lot of folks are wondering: Is it really possible?

Is it really possible that Republicans, in mass, in every single county, in every single city, in every single state, just decided that they hate the Republicans so much that they stayed home and did not vote? Is is that is that possible, or is it? You the other question, Deadgum and I don't want to say it. I don't want to say it, Rhett. You're going to make me say it, Rhett.

Why are you going to make me say this, Rhett? You don't have to. I'm going to say it. Were there shenanigans going on? I'm just gonna.

I'm just asking. Is it possible that there were enough voting irregularities that some of these races? I no. I don't know, and I don't have any proof other than there have been these reports. For example, like Maricopa County, in Fulton County, Georgia, there were some discrepancies there.

Was it enough to really move the needle, or are people really that fed up with the Republican Party? I think in in I think in Maricopa County maybe there might have been that might be plausible, but in Atlanta, no, the the the margin was so big that the people that were Republicans did not show up. There you go, there you go, Rhett. All right, I yeah. Look, people have been asking me this, and they've been sending me all these stories and everything.

You know, the the post on social media. You know, it's. I mean, it's you know, it's a fair question to ask, but I haven't seen any reports at all. And normally, if there was something big, we would we would get it. Rhett hung up on us.

Well, frankly, sir, I don't give a. I can't say that. He's Ret from Atlanta. You gotta say it right. It's kind of like when somebody calls in Elvis from Memphis.

Thank you very much. Frankly, Ret, my dear, I don't give a damn. All right, we're going to take a break. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number.

It is open line Friday. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. Remember back in twenty twenty when the media narrative was absolute? When anybody suggesting early alternatives was instantly silenced and deplatformed?

The late Doctor Zev Zelinsky was right at the epicenter of it all when he created ZStack and the Zelensky protocol. He took immense heat for sharing his protocol, specifically designed to boost your immune system. Even President Trump himself cited him in a press briefing regarding what would become known as the Zelensky protocol, which led to Trump himself adopting it.

Now, I just saw the video on X and saw it for myself. Amazing! Every key ingredient behind those protocols was meticulously chosen based. On rigorous research at the exact doses that matter.

Now, over five years later, history has completely vindicated him.

Now we all know how critical a strong immune system is. And if you've ever felt helpless watching the headlines, hear this: you are not powerless. There is something you can do about it. ZStack gives your body the foundational immune support it needs to help fight off whatever is circulating out there. Don't wait for permission to take charge of your immune system.

And now they have the biggest discount they've ever offered. Get started today for just four ninety five plus shipping and handling. Get the biggest discount in their history at ZStackLife dot com slash starns. Again, that's ZStackLife dot com slash starns. Wow, Democrats winning twenty-three of thirty-six races when it comes to the the state level, flipping six governor governor mansions.

First time in sixteen years, Democrats have had a majority of governors' seats.

So there you go. Tennessee, meanwhile, we were the Republican firewall, the volunteer state, and I think one of the reasons why. Is that Republican voters here turned out? You know, in big numbers. Let's go to the phone lines here nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

Steve, Little Rock, Arkansas. Steve, what's on your mind? Hey, Todd, I've been listening since the election, just trying to get my head wrapped around what actually happened. And this is how I rated, and I want to see if you think I'm crazy or not. The Democrats are all giddy that they they think they've got the mandate from the people to move this country further to the left.

If what I'm reading and the way I understand it is true about what happened, the no-show Republicans and the protest vote Republicans, the country is really mad because it didn't move further to the right. And I'm not so sure that may be good for the Democrats. They may have fun for the next two years, but I'm not so sure that's good for them in the long run, because they're going to do nothing over the next two years except make all those people mad—a whole lot madder that are already mad because this country's not moving further to the right. Steve, I think yeah, absolutely. I think that's a great way of framing it.

That the voters wanted the Republicans to deliver on their promises, which would have put the country back on right footing. And yeah, it is moving the country back to the right, which is where we had been for a very long time. I mean, you look at the average numbers of young male voters; those Gen Z male voters, they completely abandoned the Republican Party. Because the Republican Party abandoned them completely, dropped the ball. Yeah, Steve, I think you're onto something there.

Yeah, those young voters haven't. They still want the same thing they wanted when they voted for the Republicans in '24. It's mad because Republicans didn't do nothing to get it to.

Well, here's what needs to happen, and this is a serious situation in the Senate because we could go well into I think 2032 before Republicans can reclaim the Senate. That means we're going to be getting a lot of left leaning judges shoved through. Trump's Trump's judicial nominees will not be moving forward, which is why we need to declare an emergency. Send the Republicans, send Congress, put them back. Concession, and start.

Affirming and confirming all of these judicial nominees, we've got to start doing that immediately. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six, our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Folks, got to take a break. Steve, thanks for that call.

This is Jenny Garth from Nine zero two one O M G. We spend a lot of time talking about our health, but sexual health should be part of that conversation too. I know because I've experienced low libido myself, and it can leave you feeling. Frustrated and wondering what happened to that part of me. That's why I started taking Addy.

Non-hormonal Addy is the only FDA-approved treatment for both pre- and postmenopausal women under 65. Clinically proven to increase sexual desire, Addy helped me reconnect with my desire. And Addy is as little as twenty dollars per month with commercial insurance coverage. Addy flibanserin is a prescription medicine for women under 65 with low sexual desire. That is distressing to them.

Addie is for low desire that happens in all situations and is not caused by a medical condition, relationship issue, or medicines. Addie is not for men or to enhance sexual performance. Addie can cause severe low blood pressure and fainting. Your risk is higher if you drink alcohol close to your dose. Don't take Addie if you have liver problems, take certain medicines, or are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Before taking Addie, tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, if you have had any mental health conditions, are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, trouble sleeping, and dry mouth. Visit Addy. dot com. That's A D D Y I.

dot com to learn more, including important warnings. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, broadcasting from our fortified bunker. Deep in the heart of Dixie, I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend, great American patriot and journalist, Robin Hoffman.

Joins us, Robin. Hope everything's going well.

Now I know you're in Georgia, Robin. What in the world happened in your great state? Ah, it's a great question. We have terrible, terrible Republican candidates here in Georgia that they put up.

So now the new governor is the former mayor of Atlanta, who literally cried and lost control of the city of Atlanta, Georgia, a major metropolitan city, during the George Floyd years when they were burning down the local Wendy's. She lost control and was begging the looters to stop and was crying on national television. That's our new governor. You know, I need to say this to you, Todd. The one I've watched every single station.

You can name on on the TV, on the cable, on the regular networks, and not one person has quoted the James Carville, Democrat strategist James Carville, back in the early '90s. Let me remind you: four words. It's the economy, stupid. 1992, and And where I live in Georgia, gas is about three fifty on average for regular unleaded. But I have friends, and so do you, Todd, in California, where gas is regular unleaded at seven eight dollars a gallon.

Other places where the taxes are very high, like New York and New Jersey, and if people do not feel, if they do not feel that the economy is good. Then they're going to have a problem, and I really think we lost this thing. Besides all the cheating, if you put the cheating on the side, and you know some of the machines that may be problematic on the side, we lost this thing because President Trump was not talking about the economy. He didn't go back to the barber shop in the Bronx. He didn't go back and do McDonald's.

He didn't go back. And do the stunt with the the garbage truck, and that's what was missing from this election cycle. If you want to say that you are on the ballot, then you need to be there with the people. I was at a Trump rally recently. There was nothing stated about the economy, and I go back to James Carville: "It's the economy, stupid." Robin, we're we're gonna play this for you once we we get it.

Dylan is furiously scrambling to find this earlier this morning. Scripps, the national, you know, they own a bunch of TV stations across the country, and they had me on one of their early morning programs talking about that, and that's exactly what I I said. It is the economy, stupid. You know, quoting James Carville, and to your point, and Robin, I've been preaching this for the past. I guess three or four months now that the administration they need more advisors from Mayberry, and we need fewer advisors from Mar-a-Lago.

We need people that actually you know know what it's like to struggle to pay grocery bills, and you know come you know scrounge around for coins to pay for a gallon of gasoline. And for whatever reason, the administration just completely went off the rails on that. Yeah, well, they should have consulted with us, and you know, just for your audience, Todd. You know, your audience knows that you and I go way back. We haven't spoken in about a month, so I had a no idea you were thinking that or even said that.

So that's kind of interesting. You know, Kellyanne Conway is a person who comes from that kind of a background, and had she been advising President Trump. She comes from the southern part of New Jersey, where people are blueberry crop farmers, and she would have been a great person to advise the president. Listen, Mister President, you need to you know get down there with the people and not be doing all these you know rallies. It didn't work.

I do want to say something that is very bothersome.

Well, hold on, Robin, hold that thought because I want to set up what you're about to say. But here is here's here here I am early this morning in the wee hours on national TV. But at the end of the day, I truly do believe this was about a you know pocketbook issues. I went on to say book issues. What was it that James Carville infamously said?

It's the economy, stupid. It's the economy, stupid. There you go, Robin. You and I, great minds think alike. Oh my gosh!

I think we you you have the left brain, I have the right brain, and we are truly connected, Todd.

So the most incredible audio I've ever heard.

So one of the interesting stories out of Tennessee came from Middle Tennessee, where over the past decade or so, there has been a massive influx of immigrants from Muslim countries in. Right outside of Nashville, and people are stunned. They're going to be stunned to hear these numbers. Over forty thousand Muslims, they believe, over forty thousand Muslims now live in Murfreesboro, which is where MTSU is, Middle Tennessee State University. We only have about twenty thousand Muslims in Memphis.

Now that's important because they actually elected DSA candidates to the state house out of a what was once a very red. Part of of Tennessee and Robin, we are watching, and I suspect this happened in Texas as well. The rise of political Islam in this country—oh, no doubt. And let I remind people that the Muslims—they play the long game. All you have to do is go back to Osama bin Laden in the cave, who plotted, you know, the World Trade Center bombing in the radical Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The World Trade Center bombing in 1993 for eight eight very long years for Americans, eight very short years for them because we live in the 40 character Twitter verse. But they play the long game and came back and got us terribly on 9/11 over eight years.

So knowing that they play the long game, here's what I'm going to say to you. When El Sayed in Michigan did his acceptance speech, and I heard it in the Arabic accent, I'm Abdul Sheikh Al Rahman Mohammed Jabibi. You know whatever he was saying there, I was like, wow, he is signaling to his brethren in that world. We have Muslims, Todd. To your point, Patterson, New Jersey.

Known in New Jersey as Little Ramallah, Dearborn, Michigan, Plano, Texas. Have you been there lately? I have. It looks like Afghanistan. Parts of Minnesota, California, West LA, Anaheim.

WorkCare has its base in in Anaheim and also in Texas. These radicals are in it for the long game. And I will leave you with this, Todd. Many many years ago, when I lived in Dallas, Texas, I went to a private function, and there was a Christian man there who used to be a Muslim. I do not want to name his name, and he came to speak to a group of conservatives and center-right people.

And as a former Muslim who became a Christian when he left the faith. He explained to this room of about 200 people the practice that's known as takia, and takia is, and I'm like kind of paraphrasing here, but the gist of it is, is that if you're wanting Sharia law, you can say whatever you want to say, whatever it is, you're even allowed to lie, in order for the ultimate goal, which is to destroy the West. To get rid of the Jews, to get rid of the Christians, in the one goal of instituting Sharia law. And when see when you see this whole thing with Abdul Al Sayed and the rest of them, the the only word that comes to my mind as a as a news person for forty years is the word. Takia, Robin.

Let's let's listen to Abdul El Sayed, who during the campaign, you know, spoke like you know he was from I don't know the Midwest, but now we get to know him for who he really is. Let's take a listen. My name. Is Abdul Rahman Muhammad Saleh? There you go.

And Robin, again, this is going to take a while for us to right the ship. I think the good news here is the Democrats are going to way overstep the mark, and I think there's going to be a lot of blowback. But the biggest question of all: Did the Republicans learn their lesson, and are they going to start delivering on their promises? Yeah, it's a great question. I think there's a lot to be learned here.

I think we need some really, really smart people, and we need to follow, in general terms, the Florida blueprint. Because even though Florida, you know, was razor thin over there, we have some good Republicans who got reelected, and we've got Byron Donalds, and we've got Ashley Moody, and some others in Congress. That's the blueprint for the rest of the country, and if we don't all go to Florida and take a little trip there and learn from what's going on in Florida, and go the Ron DeSantis route of common sense, basic common sense. And leave out the Trump part of the insults. I'm still all about the president, but if you, you know, do it more the Ron DeSantis way, or like Marco Rubio, and saying, "Hey, listen, New York Times, I'm not talking about 2028 now.

I'm still the Secretary of State," and just literally cut them off, meaning the mainstream media, and stick to the principles and follow the Florida blueprint. We could turn this thing around, and lastly, I think Todd, all of the crazy is going to be exposed. Robert, I'm with you, and and I tell you, we've got a, we really need to start dealing with these paid MAGA influencers, you know, that are just flooding social media feeds, and I think that really hurt the administration. I think it hurt the narrative. You've got the vice president now going out there, and you know, basically going to war with the administration.

I mean, we had a caller yesterday who compared Mike Pence or JD Vance to Mike Pence. With this long post, where you know Vance, you know, says that you know they went they they went and consulted pollsters and analysts, and you know it turned out that affordability and putting America first and changing our relationship to Israel. What in the world is going on there, Robin? You can't be disloyal to the president. His his initial tweet about this whole thing with you know Iran or whatever.

What he should have said, if I would have been advising him, was the president was right. We needed to go into Iran. We needed to you know disassemble them and their their nukes. We should have finished them off, Todd, a long time ago. We should have gone in there and got out.

Got the blank out. You know what I'm saying. We should have done what needed to be done and be done with it, and then moved on to these other issues. And I would have liked to have seen our president at a gas station in Georgia. And I would have liked to also have him have charts.

You know, he's real big on showing the videos and charts. Right, a chart saved Donald Trump's life in Butler.

Okay, show a chart of how you in uh, you know, the Vegas bartender. You know, no tax on tips, and how much more money you were able to save on taxes. He should have had a chart that showed young people working at McDonald's, working at a casino in Vegas, your average person working at the Cracker Barrel. How much money they saved? He should have gone to Cracker Barrel.

He should have gone to the local gas station. That's where Trump. How we would have won the midterms by showing how the big beautiful bill actually translated to the average Joe. He's missing it. They're missing it.

They need to clean house and bring back the old team, which included Kellyanne Conway, who's from a regular working class family like I am in the state of New Jersey. People who understand rural communities and how people were hurting when you go and fill up your car and it's eighty dollars, not forty. Yeah, absolutely. Bring back Mike Huckabee. Let him be in charge of messaging.

He'll get everything turned around. All right, no question. Robin, always appreciate your great analysis. We're going to get this fixed. But they, I wish we need to make you a senior advisor to this president.

That's what we need. I'm I'm ready, Todd, but I want to be behind the scenes. I have a lot of great ideas, but I want to like lay low on it. And and honestly, Robin, that's exactly what he needs. He needs people that really are are in it just because they love America and they love him, and not because they're trying to pull some sort of a grift.

And unfortunately, we got a lot of grifters in the Oval Office right now. Yeah, you need people like Maria Bartiromo, people like myself, like you, and the former press secretary. She'd be phenomenal. Agreed. All right, Robin.

Good to hear from you, my friend. God bless. All right, God bless. You know she would have been a great press secretary. She would have physically thrown people out of the building.

I love that. All right, we're going to take a break. We've got Barry in Fort Myers, Victor in Baltimore. Lines are now open nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. What do you think about Robin and and what she just said here?

Is was was that the right move? Do we need to get the president back to being a president of the regular Joe's nine? One two six zero five nine two six. We'll be right back. Hi, it's Delilah.

Imagine being a parent who can't feed your starving child. Your child is weak and malnourished.

Now, imagine the difference one compassionate person can make through World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization. Thirty dollars will feed one starving child for an entire year. Give monthly and provide a year of meals for a new child each month. Visit World. Help dot net slash radio or call eight three three three hunger.

All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stern Show. Let's go to the phone lines. Victor in Baltimore, Maryland, listening to us on WCBM. Victor, what's on your mind?

Hi, Todd Stern. I'm I like listen to your program all the time. I'm listening a lot to it and um. The lady just spoke about from California and about Tennessee.

Well, California does have their issues by cost, and I heard something on my radio local station saying that Tennessee, not that Atlanta, Georgia, had a lot of people coming from California to take over that town, and it's terrible. It's there's a lot of Things going on behind the scenes that our illegal voters are coming to different towns, they say, and it's not working too well. You can't trust the ballots, and goes way back when when Nancy Pelosi was in there, and she she allowed paper ballots. I mean, I can see it was military or somebody else needing paper ballots, or somebody's not here that is American citizen, but they're allowing paper ballots, or even put their dogs in the name of a paper ballot, or anything like this. There's a lot of wrong things going on, and I believe that you can't dismiss that this is a a nationwide conspiracy to to to kill the Republican Party.

And we've been talking about this for a long time. I don't know, Victor. I think the Republicans have done a pretty good job of destroying the party by themselves. They didn't need that much help from the Democrats. But the problem is they're focusing mostly on the president rather than the party.

Well, everybody's blaming the president, but they should be looking at the party, future of the party, Republican Party. All right, is going to get us out of this hole. But Victor, thank you for that call. I want to try to work in Joey here from Cleveland, Georgia. Joey, what say you?

Hey, I'm pretty good. How about you, Todd? All right. Hey, I appreciate your show. I think you do a great job.

I'm. Calling well about the election, I guess. Yeah, let's get to it. We've only got about sixty seconds here.

Okay, well, here in Georgia, we pretty well lost everything that matters, you know, to the Democrat. I think it was people voting up and down. You know, either they voted complete Republican or they voted total Democrat. And I'm sort of disappointed with Trump on this term. I think he was the greatest president ever.

You know. His first turn, but this time he's he's sort of let down the common folks. I think he stuck his eye off the main, the big picture of making America great again with a war and all that stuff, you know. But anyhow, I just wanted to say, I, I, you know, I think most people shouldn't have nobody to blame but Trump. Pretty much, you know, he should have ended this war back in April, you know.

I think there should have been should have been a shock and all war, and since it wasn't, it's going to drag on. No doubt about that, Joey. And look, the president went out there and said, "Just you know, imagine that I'm on the ballot." And I think the American people did just that.

So it is a tough lesson, and maybe just maybe a little humility might help reset everybody in Washington D.C. Think we'll have to we'll have to think on that, Joey. Thank you for that call. All right, hang tight, everybody. Hour two coming up.

If you're on hold, don't go anywhere. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Open line Friday here on the Todd Sterns Radio Show. From Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's us.

That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starz. Oh yeah. All right.

Our interview with Robin Poffman in the last hour got me to thinking, and I'm just want to run this by you. Here's what I think the White House needs to do. First of all, they've got to stop paying all these MAGA influencers, and you know who you are. I'm not going to go. My job is not to name the names.

But a lot of these MAGA influencers—they're getting paid. They're grifters, you know. They're they're looking for a handout. They're looking to line their own pockets, and they're really not looking out for the interest of the president of these great United States. They're they're not doing that, and so we need people that that can do that.

And so my recommendation is the following: that the White House should immediately fire all of the paid MAGA influencers and the professional grifters, and instead they need to add a new inner circle of advisors. I'm not saying do away with the old advisors. I'm just saying they need to add a a new inner circle of advisors made up of the following people: a McDonald's fry cook. A garbage truck driver, a pizza delivery guy, a Las Vegas waitress, a Harlem bodega owner, and a bunch of Bronx barber shop guys. And I guarantee you that collection of folks would give the president of these great United States a reality check on what it's really like to live in the United States right now.

What what it's what it's really like to work for an honest day's pay? You know what I I'm actually editing this as we're going on. Number seven, a farmer. That's what we need, ladies and gentlemen. Is just a good, healthy reality check for this White House, and you know a lot of times when they get to Washington, and we've seen this with the Supreme Court, right?

We, you know, you you bring these people in, you nominate these folks, and they seem to be normal, good, conservative, church going, God fearing guys and gals, and then they get, you know, a they get they get voted on, and they get confirmed, and the next thing you know, they're all like RBG wannabes. That's Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The notorious RGB.

So I there there's something in the water, in the air, in Washington that that actually just messes with people's minds. And one of the things that I did when I and look, I saw that happening to me in New York City. One day, I hadn't been in New York City, but maybe a year. And one day, I sat down and I ordered unsweetened iced tea. And I'm like, holy crap!

What's going on? The next weekend, I flew back to Memphis, and I realized. If you stay away from your roots for far too long, it begins to change you. And I think that's one of the problems in Washington right now is that people are, you know, they're getting sucked into all the power and the, you know, all the gold and the glitz and the glamour. And there's nothing wrong with gold or glitz or grammar glamour, but it can't like become your life and it can't change you.

So again, and I'm curious to hear hear your thoughts here, but I think we need to come up with. An inner circle of folks who work for a living, and maybe that just might help. All right, as promised, I want to get to the phones. Poor Barry, Fort Myers, Florida, been holding on for a while. Barry, welcome to the show.

What's on your mind? My God! Oh, now I have a whole bunch of things on my mind. One of the things they were talking about the president who worked his butt off to try to get to get this these other people elected. But I did not see the Republicans working hard.

And if you really look it up, you'll find that he has done tremendous amount of things for the common people in this country, bringing in jobs from overseas, factories coming in, all kinds of good stuff. And compared to to the Biden administration, inflation is down, unemployment is up, unemployment is down. I think that the Republican Party is just. First of all, they don't care for Trump. I don't know why.

Maybe they're in bed with whatever the Democrats are doing, but they don't care for Trump. They never treat Trump right. And they didn't really go out and and fight. I know my son lives in Texas, and he said that that the governor and and and the guy running for for senator they never showed up. They never they didn't even have a you know a commitment.

And and rallies with with the people. Let me tell you something, Barry.

Now, let me say let me say something. You are absolutely right here. The establishment Republicans hate Donald Trump. They. They hate this man.

They hate him more than they hate anybody else. I mean, they would rather support Barack Hussein Obama than Donald J. Trump. And the reason why is Trump came in, at least originally, Trump came in and he was blowing up the swamp. He was going after the deep state.

But we haven't done that, Barry. The the president is way off the mark now, and we've just got to we've got to nudge the president back onto what we. Elected him and elected the Republicans to do, but they hate his guts and they wanted to fail. I know, absolutely. But now let me get to the topic that I actually brought up.

Yeah, real quick. I was in systems and programming, and I did. I mean, that was my life. And when they first brought in the fact that they were going to count and use computers, I said, "Oh my god, oh my god, that's terrible!" Because I know myself, I could have buried code. This was when programming was static.

And I could have buried code in in their counting, and I could have changed elections with five percent of the vote.

Now everything is dynamic, and hacking is so easy, especially with AI getting past some of the walls that they they put up on that stuff. I and and all the money and effort that China and Iran and a lot of these other countries have been doing, and they're techie countries; these are technical people. They could have hacked this whole election, as far as and make it look not too much hacking, but enough just to make the Trump lose out and the Republicans lose out, which would have been a smart thing to do, and you would never even know it. And I'm I'm because I was in shock, by the way, based on what I saw at the rallies and everything. I was in shock that this happened in this election.

Totally.

So something didn't smell right to me, and all I could think of is that someone's playing around with some of those files out there. It very it does. I'm it does kind of make you wonder because it's just. I mean, nobody saw this coming. It was just a complete bloodbath.

But it look it very well may be a confluence. You know, one of these perfect storm moments when the voters said we're. Done, and you know you don't think we're not going to turn on you. We're going to turn on you, and i I hope the Republicans are waking up, and I hope they've realized you know what's happened. One of the things, one of the key indicators, Barry, is going to be who the Senate picks as the minority leader, and if they keep if they stay with John Thune.

I will personally and just mark my words here: if they go with John Thune, I will personally campaign against every single Republican who voted for John Thune. Period. All right, I don't blame you, Barry. All right, you hang in there. You're in the free state of Florida.

I'm in the free state of Tennessee. At least Florida and Tennessee got it right, and we were sort of the we were sort of the firewall here, and and it came really close here in Tennessee. And fortunately, you guys have a great governor down there in Florida, Barry. Thank you for thank you for calling and thank you for being a part of the show today. You folks in Houston, I have some news for you.

First of all, your new Democrat governor says she is going to step in. She's going to declare war on ice, and it sounds like your governor is going to try to open up the borders again for the illegal alien invaders. President Trump was asked about this, and here's what the president had to say: "Cut fifty-four, please." To reinforce the Texas southern border, now that the new Democratic governor is removing state manpower from border defense, I am sure that the new governor is going to want to have security of this Texas border. There were people on television two days ago saying how it's like living in heaven compared to living in hell when Biden was there, and I'm sure they'll continue my policy. And if they don't continue my policy, I will.

All right, the president being very direct. There, we have this just in. The mayor of Houston, that would be John Whitmire, has now instructed Houston police to stop notifying ICE agents when they encounter someone without legal status. This is coming from the New York Times. Again, this is all happening very, very quickly.

But the Houston mayor just ordered cops to scale down ICE communication as the Democrats begin to take over the state. I believe the only Republican left. At that level is Senator Ted Cruz, and that's it. But Texas flipped completely blue. I'd be curious to hear from some of you Texas listeners on what exactly is going on there in your state.

But it is a mess right now, and Texas is going to do whatever it can to begin protecting illegal aliens from ICE. Let's go to Gainesville, Georgia. Charles, listening to us on WDU N. Hi, Charles. What's on your mind?

Hey. How you doing?

Sorry, I missed you when you were at Long Street. I had the the crud that was going around.

Well, thank you for not bringing the crud with you to Long Street.

So appreciate that. Yeah.

So yeah, what I wanted to sort of highlight that my observation during this whole election season is all I saw from an ad perspective. Was Olaf? I call him Olaf. I've called him that forever. You know, Olaf the Snowman.

Instead of Olself. But all you saw constantly were ads of him spitting out lies constantly, constantly, constantly. Mike Collins never did anything as far as any kind of ads or anything. Like when once he got the nomination, he just gave up. And maybe we would have been better off with Dooley, but I, I had a hard time voting for Dooley after what he did to Tennessee.

Well, I don't blame you there. Yeah, I'm. Look, it's Charles. Is it? It just seems to me that the Republican Party in Georgia has been so dysfunctional, and it really goes back to you know right after you know Trump told everybody don't go out and vote, and then you guys got you know you got a pair of far left Democrat senators.

Yeah, yeah. It's it was obvious because you look down from the governor all the way down. It's all blue. We've lost everything. You know, we're now a blue state, and it looks like it was a.

There was no effort from the state Republican Party or the national Republican Party to just get on. I have ads that was a rebuttal to the things that were being said. For example, one thing they said that one of the candidates, I don't know if it was Strickland. I don't remember in particular, but they were saying that Trump was investigated for the Epstein for Epstein files or whatever as being part of the Epstein incident, and and that one of the candidate might have been Strickland was raising money to help Trump fight those charges. It was all nonsense.

It was just a complete lie. And there was no rebuttal to it. It was just one thing after another: lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. And the Republican Party didn't do anything.

So, well, it's surprising. If I were you guys, I would before and and again, I have officially stopped giving money. And I did this about two years ago. I stopped giving money to the Republican Party because it was just a waste of my money, and I they they have no plan to win. Folks in Georgia, if you really want to fix things, you need to demand complete overhaul—a complete overhaul of your state Republican Party.

Charles, thank you for that call. Let's go to Houston, Tom, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Tom, I am just—I'm not surprised here. Maybe I'm surprised at how quickly it's happening. But the mayor of Houston now telling cops don't don't alert the feds if you pull over an illegal.

Yeah, yeah. The incoming, goodness, our John Whitmire, our current mayor, has done the flip flop, and the all the incoming officers, even our county judge, which is basically the mayor for the judge county down here, it's not a judgeship of any type. All are putting forth statements. That basically trash everything that's been progressed in the last well, in the six years now of Trump's time, and I wish that the party nationwide would have learned the lesson from Trump's first four years to go ahead and get it done. And I agree that we need to call back the Senate emergency session.

And just start passing, passing these. What am I trying to say? They need to codify, codify every executive order, Tom. Every executive order needs to be codified. I'm talking about certifying all the federal judges.

Yo, you need confirming them, yeah, confirming them, yeah. Yes, firm them, just like you know, paper down at the at the whatever, and. I'm called in because I'm seeing a story that the feds have taken control of the. Elections documents in Maricopa County. Do you have that story?

We'll look into it, Tom. Again, you know, we'll we'll look into that, but we haven't heard anything just yet. But we'll check into it. Tom got a run. Thank you for that.

Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Helen, somebody called in and said I was a phony. What's going on there? That's true.

Wait, what? It was our friend Richard. He was actually. Super nice. Like he was like, I just think Todd is a phony, and he's blaming all these other people.

But he was like, "But you're so kind." I was like, "Oh, thank you." So, well, okay, I don't care that he likes you. What? Why did he say why? Did you ask him why do you think Todd is a phony? He thinks you're blaming a lot of other people for stuff that isn't completely the Republican election, like.

It's like their fault, or you're avoiding blaming certain people. But he didn't want to go on. I should have bullied him more to go on. Jesus, Lou. All right.

Well, yeah, I can't deal with that today. All right. Well, thank you, Helen. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

I'm not sure what Tom was talking about with the the feds and the monitoring. I do know that the Justice Department sent out election monitors to over a thousand locations around the nation.

So. So that may have had something to do with it, but as far as we know, there have been no shenanigans of of substance of of importance that might have swung the election one way or the other. All right, got to take a break. We'll be right back. All right, let's go to the phones here.

Houston, Texas. Jess is on the line. Patriot Talk 920, great radio station. Hi, Jess. What's going on?

I'm just trying to get over it. Two things. I think that regardless of what everybody else is laughing about it, Donald Trump did more as a president than any president in my lifetime, and I'm 75 years old. The other thing is something went wrong.

Something was not just an accident. My congressman was so popular that the Democrats were not even going to put anybody up to run against him. Last two years ago, he got seventy-eight percent of the vote. This election, he won by five hundred votes. It came down to the wire.

There's no way. There is no way that a guy goes from seventy-eight percent of the vote down to almost losing. Jess, it is it's a head scratcher, isn't it? And I'll tell you, the same thing happened in Tennessee. Fortunately, our Republicans were able to you know to squeak out victories, but it doesn't make it doesn't make any sense.

Jess, thank you for that, folks. Hang tight. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Real quick, let's go to the phones, Houston, Texas. Cliff is on the line, and Cliff, what's going on here with your your mayor there in Houston? Uh, hi, Todd. I Know that he came in and start and straightened out some contracts for the police, police department, and the fire department, and the Democrats didn't like that.

And then they started talking about impeachment of the mayor. And then when the shooting happened here with ICE. He was the only one on the Democrat side would say, "Let's wait until we get the facts and get it straight." Everybody was condemning ICE on it, and that's about what I know on it.

So it kind of makes sense that with the bloodbath that we've had here in Texas, that he's going to have to change his normalcy of being a regular Democrat to. Maybe save his Merrill position.

Well, it could be, but I'm telling you right now, I think that the Democrats are going to rule with an iron fist, and I know that there's been some rumblings there in Austin at the state capital about trying to strip powers away from the governor and the lieutenant governor. I hope they can get that done, Cliff. Otherwise, you guys could be in for quite a ride there in in Houston. Good luck to you, my friend, and hang. In there, nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

We have some some news to share out of Georgia. May I just say something? I love you, folks in Georgia. I do, but you people are screwed.

So you had the new black agriculture commissioner, and she just announced that they're going to be taking care of black farmers, providing money to black farmers. You white farmers, you're on your own. Then we've got the new education secretary there in Georgia, and she's all about dumbing down the the test. She's saying that teachers are too stressed out, so she wants to deal with that. And now we can officially tell you that Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has announced that Tyler Perry will be a part of her transition team, as in Medea.

And I just, I really do hope that Tyler Perry shows up dressed like Medea at the first transition team meeting there at the governor's mansion. You can't make this stuff up. You folks in Georgia, good luck to you. All right, I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend. He is the host of the Joe Messina Show out of Santa Clarita, California.

Joe, wow! Let's talk about what happened. First of all, how did things go with you? Oh, I. I handily won my election, which was nice.

Thank God, you know they saw through what was going on. But frankly, I was one of very few. We had quite a few candidates up in my area, and they got trounced by by the blue wave. You know, I'm. I wish I could say I was surprised by Steve Hilton.

Those are just appalling numbers, and you you do wonder if you know what what is the path moving forward if you're a Republican in California. You know, it's really funny because, first of all, we're outnumbered like two and a half to one. When the numbers first dropped that night, you know, obviously being from California, watching what was happening, immediately the numbers were between seventy and seventy-three percent for the blue side, right, Vasara and such, and about twenty some odd percent. For the for the red side, and and and when I saw it, I said, "There's no coming back from that." They are so afraid of us in this state, and I can only deal with California. When you when you listen to them, when they come out of the exit polls and people are talking with them, they're petrified of the Republicans.

And the Democrats have done a fantastic job in saying, "Wait, you know what? You may have some issues, but look at them. They're terrible people. They follow that mega guy. They follow Trump, and that's why your gas prices are so high.

That's why you can't afford this. They can't afford that." But Sarah wins, and what's the first thing he talks about? We're going to initiate the mileage tax, but but they're afraid of us. They've done a great job in messaging. We're terrible at it, Todd.

You know, Joe, I just—it's just really been staggering to see the losses across the nation. I know that you guys had some good people there, and I thought Hilton would have been an okay governor for you. I think probably along the lines of an Arnold Schwarzenegger. But you—you had some other folks that were running. I'm sad to see Kevin Cailly going down in defeat.

But man, the Republicans—is it fair to say you guys just were decimated in in the Golden State? We are, but you know, Dennis Prager years ago did a piece on how, as a country, we we prided ourselves on the American dream. We made it work. We worked at it. We made things happen.

We're now a country, especially here in California, where what can you do for me? I want you to pay for my housing. I want you to pay for my food. I want you. This this is the message that people want to hear now.

So I don't know how you and I. Guys that really still believe in the American dream, still believe in working for it. I don't know how we get that message out. And frankly, you hit it on the head earlier. We've got do nothing Republicans there.

I'm sorry, I don't know if you're friends with the guy, but Johnson and Dune didn't do us any good. Where were the bills with every EO that the president put on the table? There were none.

Well, i I thought that I I will push back and say that I thought Mike Johnson did a great job the last six months that he was Speaker of the House. The question is, was that enough? I mean, you know, he's out there; he was on the road. I saw that there were very few people going to the Mike Johnson events and the Mike Johnson rallies. But I think he certainly did a lot more than John Thune did.

And my question is, of course, Johnson says, "I'm out of here." Loud actually thinks he should be the minority leader now.

Well, I don't know what drugs he's taking, if any, but he needs to do something. I mean, again, what has he done? What can he? He did an ad a couple of weeks ago that I saw that talked about all the things that they've done. We've got a bunch of judges that need to be, you know, he needs to call session back in, and we've got a bunch of judges that need to be confirmed.

We've got a he's got bills on it. You not think? I'm sorry, I'm worked up. You not think that the Democrats are going to squash the filibuster? Do you not think that, like you said earlier, they're going to go through this like with a wrecking ball and a bulldozer because they think they have a moment?

But I got news for you: the the the rise of of the Muslim or the the Islamic elected officials, they're going to crush these people. Joe, that's that. That is what is going to happen. And as soon as the as soon as they gain enough power, the Muslims are going to turn on the communist, and it's going to be ugly. And we will be here in our bunkers saying, "We told you so." But they're they're playing with fire.

Everybody is playing with fire right now, which is again, I felt like my role in all of this. Was to be as positive as possible, and to affirm people, and to reaffirm and reassert the idea that if you don't go and vote, bad things are going to happen. We and Republicans did not come out and vote. You know, in in my area alone, we had six percent more Democrats come out to vote and four percent less Republicans come out to vote than in the last general election cycle. That's a ten percent hit to a Republican in most cases, to a conservative.

And I wish people. I'm not so sure, Todd, that people are really honestly paying attention. Especially again when you see the numbers of the blue registration. In a city, and a red registrations in the city, and they almost line up exactly to the ballot numbers. Joe Messina on our Patriot Mobile NewsMaker line, JoeMessina dot com is his website.

That's JoeMessina dot com. Joe, where do we go from here? I know a lot of young people. I saw a report. That that you know, young people are going to try and and really take more of a of a role in the party.

We've got too many octogenarians in the party and leadership. What needs to change if we're going to make a difference? Oh my God, I hate to say this, and you're probably a lot of nasties. That petrifies me that young people are going to take more of an active role based on. Listen.

Look at our education system, and you know I'm part of the education system. We have failed our people miserably. We have failed our young people miserably. And if they're going to act and get involved on the information they have right now, you're going to see many more years of what we've got going on. We've got to reeducate.

We've got to make sure. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean true history, how government really works, what the Constitution really says, not what we think or perceive it to say. And until we get back to educating these kids, proper. Properly, I don't.

I don't see us coming back for quite some time. Personal opinion. It's you know again. It's maybe one one election at a time. It's going to be it's going to be a long, hard slog here.

I do think the Democrats are going to overstep. It's going to get ugly. I think they're going to impeach just just as many people in the administration as possible. They're going to impeach, and I don't think they're going to have any choice but to do that because that's what the base of their party wants. I mean, they're calling.

Where is? Hold on, I want to play some audio for you here, Joe. This was a guy, and and and I am talking hundreds of these kinds of videos. This guy says that he wants Nuremberg trials for Republicans. Cut fifty one.

Nuremberg trials, Democrats. Nuremberg trials for all these people. You have not been hired to come in and do your best. You have been hired to come in and do your worst. And understand, this is the last vote you get until we see Epstein file convictions.

All right, Abdul, take those Wolverine claws I got you and park them under Stephen Miller's chin. I want to see Jared Kushner's size five loafers. Winging and dangling. All right, if Elon Musk is alive at Christmas, it has been a failure. All right, we need to build Guantanamo Bay Two on Epstein Island.

All right, break ground on that today. Guantetamo Island, build it. Start sinking posts right now today. This is what we want to see. We don't want.

I swear to God, if you come at us and say you're going to let bygones be bygones, and we need to move on and heal as a country. I swear to God, we want justice. We want Judgment Day.

Now's the time. This is the last time we vote for you, unless you put belt to ass. We want Armageddon. We want justice. Judgment Day.

All right, that's what you've been hired to do. Go do it. Go to work. The celebrating that was for last night.

Now it's time to get to work. Go to work. Let's see it. All right, Joe. What do you say to that?

Wow, is he a Republican? Because they're always telling us that's a Republican line that we're terrible people, we're nasty, we're hateful. I mean that that is not governance, and and that's what that party has turned into to a big degree. I'm not going to paint with a broad brush and say they're all like that, but that's what that party's turned into. Listen, what did they run on?

Get Trump, get Trump, get Trump. They mentioned affordability.

Now that the election is over, are any of them talking about what they're going to do to make it more affordable? Are any of them talking about what they're going to do to make America great? No. Talking about subpoena after subpoena, you know. If I was Trump right now, I'd be loading up that auto pen, and I'd do my own pre-pardons of these people because that's all they're going to do, Todd.

Yeah.

That I think I think you are right there, Joe, and it is a it's it's a disturbing thing. But you know, we're going to have to get through this. But I think there does need to be a reckoning with the Republican Party, and they've got to get this figured out. I am going to give you the last word here, but I think they've got to clean house. I totally agree with you.

I again, I go back to look at all that we didn't do. I know, I know, we got some things done in the last couple of years that are great and wonderful, but we could have got so much more done if we just put our feet to pavement and ran.

So, you know, in your local elections, I mean, that's where it starts. Very few people just jump into, you know, Congress, but you got to start raising up these people. We start have to raising up our young people and make sure they really understand how the process works. And what I see as a habit is we jump in low. Locally, four months before election day, we need to start grooming these people two, three years out, getting them out where they need to be, getting them to understand, and making sure that people know who they are.

Because right now, most of our kid, a lot of our candidates, people didn't even know. You're right. You're right. All right, Joe, we got to leave it there. Joe Messina, everybody, Joe Messina dot com is his website.

Joe, appreciate you. Hang in there, my friend. God, God bless, brother. I'm here. I'm here for fight.

So far, we're getting thumbs up over on X for the post there about the recommended inner circle. Who would you like to see if we're going to create a new inner circle of advisors for President Trump? Who would you like to see in that inner circle?

Some of my ideas: a McDonald's fry cook, a garbage truck driver. A Las Vegas waitress, a farmer, a Harlem bodega owner, and a bunch of Bronx barber shop guys.

So, if you've got an idea, give us a call nine zero one two six zero five nine two six All right, let's go to the phone lines. Georgia W D U N Miss Foy, hanging out with us today. I hope you are doing well. Hello, Todd. I'm still not well.

I didn't get to go to Long Street with you. That was going to be a red letter day for me, but I'm I'm doing better. I'm under doctor's care and taking some medications. But I've been listening and very disappointed after after Tuesday and on Wednesday I heard you sing a few spirituals and. I thought of I thought of a song that one is spiritual, but from the time I've been a little girl, I've been a Christian and in the Southern Baptist Church and still am.

And that's eighty years ago since I started the climb to to the kingdom. and And now I want to share with you a song. I'm not going to sing it, but I will give you the words. My hope is built on nothing less. But Jesus' blood and righteousness, I dare not trust the sweetest flame.

But wholly lean on Jesus' name, on Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. So Todd, let's you and I. I pray that people will not think this is too simplistic a a voice, but I think it is the answer, and I believe that Jesus is the answer.

And I'm not going to be discouraged. My husband told me earlier today. Said, "Tell Todd that we might have lost the battle, but we haven't lost the war.

So we'll just hang in there." And I think you know I taught school for 32 years, and I had some awfully good school teachers that were. That were Christians and and taught kids in the right way, and so maybe on the panel that you're thinking of, maybe we should add a school teacher on there with some of the McDonald's folks and various ones that you have brought up. Miss Foy, I think that's a brilliant idea, and I know that hymn very well. We used to sing it in my Baptist church, and I've quoted from that hymn and at least two of the my recent books that I know of. And I think that's it's it's a great reminder that ultimately we know how all of this turns out, and we we have a duty to do, and then God is going to take care of everything else.

You're absolutely right. I believe that with all of my heart, and I'm thankful to listen to you every day, Miss Miss Boy. I I want you to get better. That's you're under. That's my order to you: is get better.

And you you take care of yourself. You keep following the doctor's orders. If I could recommend something, a doctor pepper three times a day. They say it's it's the secret to a long life.

So maybe maybe check with your Doctor, but Dr. Pepper may work. Who knows? God bless you, Miss Boy. I love that lady.

We, gosh, what I hate that I missed her in Gainesville, but I'm sure we'll meet again soon. Hang tight, everybody. Hour three coming up next. From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. That's us.

That's right. Our love is the. American, Todd Sterns. All right, well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Show, hour three of the big show, and this is the final hour of the final segment of the final day.

Of this week's broadcast, so we've got a lot to to pack into this one hour before we head out for the weekend. And, ladies and gentlemen, we do have some breaking news to share with you. Breaking news now on the Todd Stern Show. All right, just moments ago, President Trump dropping a bombshell on the nation, naming Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. That means Susie Wiles is out at the White House.

She's being moved to the president's political operation. But Stephen Miller has just been promoted as the new chief of staff.

Now let me let me. Tell you right away, and this just happening within the past five minutes. This is a very bold and brilliant move by President Trump, and here's the reason why. One of the big problems this president has had, going back to the inner circle conversation, is that there have been a lot of people in that inner circle who have been pushing back on the president's agenda, specifically on the issue of immigration. There had been some reporting by the Washington Post and the New York Times earlier this week.

I think it was Wednesday or Thursday that that Stephen Miller was being criticized by insiders with. In the Oval Office, because of his hardline approach to immigration, so what the president just did. Is a reset. This is a bold move. It is a brilliant move, and the president is sending a message to the America First movement that the America First movement is large and is in charge once again.

So Stephen Miller is a is just a ferocious person when it comes to deporting the illegals. That's going to continue to happen, and it certainly appears as though the America First movement is going. Is going to continue with Stephen Miller at the helm.

So again, that is the breaking news. We're going to keep you updated. There are lots of reports circulating that others may be leaving or transitioning to other roles in the administration, and we're going to keep you updated on all of that information. But again, this is the breaking news of the hour, Stephen Miller.

Now the new chief of staff in the White House. All right, real quick, I want to go to the phone lines here. Say hello to Miss Patty calling in from Statesville, North Carolina, W S I C. Miss Patty, what's on your mind today?

Well, I got my Christmas shopping done. I got Nicole out of the way, Lauren out of the way, and my granddaughter Alexis. Guess what? They all got burgers. They got they they did.

Yeah, it was easy shop. It was it was hard to find their size though because they're all small and extra small. But I got them, Todd.

So my shopping is done with those girls.

Okay. Well, let me move on.

Well, before you move on, though, Miss Patty, I do have to correct you. It's not your Christmas shopping; it's your Ramadan shopping. You got to get with the new holiday schedule. Yeah.

Yeah, you know what? I'm sorry, but you know what? Yeah, you know what? I am so. I'm not even upset.

I'm laughing because the Lord is like everything's gonna be okay because He is running the show, Todd. I'm telling you right now, let them have their day because in 2028 we're gonna come back. You know that I do. Yes, you know I do know that. And Miss Patty, though, again, I, I, again, we're a capitalist society.

I have no problem taking advantage of that. Which, again, why we're we're launching the line of Baptist burkas. Also, I've been working with ChatGPT, and I'm coming up with a new collection of holiday carols for the Islamist. One of them is Deck the Mosque with bowls of hummus. Inshallah, Inshallah, Inshallah.

La la la, it kind of rolls off the tongue there. Merry gay Christmas to you. Oh no no no no! Don't be, Donny. There will be no gay apparel.

No gay apparel. Not on this program. But anyway, you know what? I'm laughing because you know what? I have a good feeling because they're going to screw up.

They're not going to do what they're going to. They big time. Big time. They yeah. They want.

You know what? I'm gonna make an example. My daughter works at Walmart here, and she's a she's a boss. And she said all the young kids are are happy. They're like, we're getting stuff for free.

This is this is what they're thinking. And Nicole said, Yeah, you're getting stuff for free.

Well, you know what? You know that check that you get every two weeks? That's come out of your check. One of the great things working at Fox News Channel, we would always have you know at the beginning of the year a lot of the the new crop of young journalists, and they'd be coming to us from places like Syracuse or Harvard or Yale, and many of them were you know trust fund babies, so they didn't really you know they didn't have to worry about paying college tuition or or whatever, finding quarters for the laundry machines.

So when they got to Fox, you know they were not making a lot of money, and It was always this. I can't tell you how many times this happened, Patty, and it just it brought a tear. It brings a tear to my eye because these young people, twenty three, twenty four years old, and they're getting their first paycheck, and they're they're like, "Wait a second, what is FICA? Who is that? And why are they getting so much of my money?" I'm telling you, Patty, a lot of kids became Republicans on those days.

I wish. I wish. I mean, and I want before I hang up. My my future son-in-law John, who's with with ice, he's so worried about losing his job because they want to abolish. They they want to do it.

Didn't they say that, Todd? They want to abolish ice. They do, but that's not going to happen. I hope not because my son-in-law is all nervous now. He's all nervous, and you and my future.

But anyway, he's like you know because Patty. I hope they don't. You know what? They're going to have two years. You know, like you said.

You know, and my friend Jeff, he said, "Let me tell you something." The good old boys up in Michigan. You know, I'm talking about the good old boys up in the rural areas. You know what? You remember you talking a couple weeks ago about stocking up with stuff like cans, and they weren't talking about the Iran War. They were talking about what the war is going to be in this country.

Could be, could be, Miss Patty. But I look, and every time I go to the grocery store, I drop by and I pick up a couple of you know extra cans or something.

So pop it up there. I've got you know I'm good to go, you know. And so again, you know, there, there, there. I'm telling you, my friend Jeff, he's another one. He said, you know, he goes, I thought Mike Rogers had it.

He goes, he he he's a supervisor up in a factory up there in Flint. He said, Patty. What happened? He goes. We were waiting for the Detroit, you know, the votes to come in from Detroit, and we thought it was a lock in for Mike Rogers.

What happened in Michigan, Todd? Yeah, well, it's a great question. I think, I think the Haley Stevens blowback really motivated Democrats to get out the vote. Um, and I would, I do wonder if maybe Stevens that that was all part of the big plan. Um, I don't know.

We'll see, Patty. Good to hear from you. I want you to send me pictures of you and the everybody in the burkas. Oh God, help us! All right, I love you, Todd.

Take care, President Trump. Deck the mosque with okay. We can't. No, that may be somewhat. Yeah, I don't want to get blown up.

Donald Trump saying this. I am pleased to announce that Mister Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November ninth. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump political operation. I want to thank her for her service as chief of staff. She has done a great job, President Donald J.

Trump. Oh no, thank you for your attention to this matter. Interesting. All right, let's go to Charles in North Carolina, W S I C. Charles, what's on your mind?

Well, hey, Todd, that news about Stephen Miller is the best news. Best news I've heard all week. Yep, absolutely. And that I think that's the best move he could make right now. And I hope Stephen Miller or somebody associated with him is is is tuning in.

What I'm wanted to call in about.

So, Todd, two things. Number one, yes, Republican voters were completely. You know, disaffected about you know just feeling ignored and everything over the last two years, and I'm sure that had a lot to do with the carnage on Tuesday. But you know, finding out that there were 20 million more Democratic votes this year than there were just two years ago. That's suspect.

I know here in North Carolina alone, there were one million four hundred thousand new voter registration applications processed in two years, and without any proof of citizenship.

So I hope the DOJ is going to look into that and not let it go too long. I mean, everything could be on the up and up, but there's certainly cause for a suspicion, and especially based on their track record, the Democrats over the last ten years. But Todd, secondly, we've got less than sixty days to codify these executive orders, to get judicial nominees confirmed, and for the Republicans to finally get off their butt and do something that they hadn't been doing for two years, and they've been on vacation pretty much all year. You know, after after Memorial Day, after July Fourth, August recess. And they hadn't gotten anything done, and I think President Trump, as you were talking about earlier, needs to exercise his executive power and invoke Article Two, Section Three of the Constitution, and call for an emergency session of Congress to get all this done while we have the chance.

Because on January second, Todd, it's all over. There's not going to be another judicial nominee confirmed. They're going to do everything that they can to undo everything Donald Trump has done, going even back, I think, to his first term, and recognizing this side. I know Donald Trump's not stupid. Stephen Miller's not stupid.

He's got good people around him. If they don't sense the urgency here and invoke this and call Congress back in and make them work seven days a week if they have to, it's on them. It's on them, and Donald Trump, instead of going down as one of the greatest presidents in history, is going to go down like somebody like Abraham Lincoln that was great but lost the Civil War. Knowing that you could do something and not doing it is just as bad as these Bolsheviks and Islamists that are taken over at the local, state, and federal level. Let me let me say this.

Charles and I don't want to be, you know. And again, we're trying to be upbeat. It's Friday, and you know, look, we got a lot of heavy stuff we're going to be covering for a long, long time here on this program. But let me let me say this: if you know, the president does have the authority under Article Article Two, Section Three of the Constitution. To convene both houses of Congress on extraordinary occasions, and I think this is one of them.

Because regardless, let's just say maybe we win back the House in two years. That's going to be a long shot because I mean they carry right now. I think it's whatever fifty. They've got fifty more on their side than we've got. But even if that's the case, the Senate is lost, and the Senate confirms the judicial nominees for.

The high court and the lower courts, that's that's going to be a huge problem.

So it is imperative that every single one of those nominees is confirmed, every single one, because moving forward, when the Democrats take charge, they're not going to confirm anybody. They will completely stifle any confirmation hearings. Period. So Charles. Here's what I say: If they don't do this, if the Republicans don't do this on their own, if they don't recognize the seriousness of the moment, I say that they could very well risk losing even more numbers in twenty in twenty twenty eight.

Exactly, because I mean, just. It's like your you know your house is burning down. You're losing your country, and then you're going off and just you know playing Twiddly Wings and having Thanksgiving and Christmas when there's so much work to be done. But you know if Donald Trump doesn't do this, I mean, like you said about the Senate, this is the last time if Clarence Thomas or Alito or Justice resigns, we're not going to be able. We're going to lose the Supreme Court eventually.

And we're not dealing, Todd, as you know, with regular Democrats like 30 years ago. These are diehard Bolshevik, communist, socialist that will do anything to to cling to cling to power, and they're going to rig this system against us. And I don't think they're going to allow or they're going to rig it so a Republican doesn't have a chance ever again to win the presidency. A thousand percent correct, Charles. We're going to have to leave it there.

I've got it. I'm late for a break. Really do appreciate you calling in and your great analysis this week. And, and folks, again, we've got the smartest audience in all of Talk Radio on this program, and we just love you guys and greatly appreciate you know the work that you guys are doing, weighing in and offering thoughts and ideas. That's that's what the show is meant to meant to do.

Nine oh. One two six zero five nine two six our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. You know, I wonder. You know how many how many times have you turned on the news, and you've just really felt powerless watching the latest health scare that the media is pushing.

I know the late Doctor Zev Zelenko knew that feeling quite well, which is why he created ZStack back in 2020. He was a front line a physician, boldly sharing early alternatives, which led to President Trump citing him during a press briefing. Doctor Zelenko did not. Guess he carefully selected ZStack's ingredients and doses based on his own research. He got attacked.

He was deplatformed, only to be proven a hundred percent right. Over five years later, that resilience endures to carry on his legacy with the original formula for ZStack. ZStack offers daily nutritional support for your immune system. I've been taking it, love it. It offers support for your immune system as part of your wellness routine.

That's zstacklife dot com slash durns. All right, let's go to the phones. Robert in Statesville, North Carolina. A lot of North Carolina folks today. Hi, Robert.

What's on your mind? Hey, a whole lot with all this political mess going on. I just want to amen Joe Martinez comment about the school system. I think when they took the Bible out of school. It started the indoctrination camp of schools to teach our kids to hate their country.

Also, the the comments that Charles made, I generally agree, almost a hundred percent with him. He seems sounds a little more educated than me, but we think alike. And my third little comment is: if you feel a rumbling in the ground and you think it may be an earthquake, it could just be the founding fathers spinning in their graves.

Well, it it could be that is that is a fair point, a Robert, and something certainly for us to consider. Hang in there, my friend, and no doubt about it, things are changing in this country. We're going to get through it together here on this program. And, ladies and gentlemen, I would also want to encourage you to get a couple of things for your for your Christmas presents. Put these on the list.

Hang tight, everybody. Kayla Park coming up next. All right. Following big breaking news out of the White House today. Hello, everybody.

Welcome back to the Todd Stern's Radio Show. Stephen Miller, the new White House Chief of Staff, Susie Miles is a Miles rather is out as of today. Stephen Miller will start the job first thing Monday morning.

Well, he's probably going to start right now. But there are a lot of moving parts to this. Also, James Comer, the Republican Republican from Kentucky, coming out and saying something rather shocking, and it suggests to me that Pete Hegseth, his time as the Pentagon War Secretary, may be coming to a very quick end.

Now, again, keep in mind James Comer oversight. Here's what he had to say about Pete Hegseth just moments ago. Do what do you want to see done with Pete Hegseth, sir? There is a lot of talk about, you know, could Democrats bring forth articles of impeachment against him as soon as next week? Do you want to see somebody new in that spot?

Well, that's going to be a decision that President Trump is going to have to make. But I can tell you with a high level of confidence that there is a lot of. Questions about headsets. We have no idea what strategy is moving forward in Iran. No one's happy about Iran, and I think the Republican voters are more upset about what's going on in Iran than the Democrat voters.

And that's all I heard from Republican voters—people that have been MAGA for the last twelve years, they had MAGA flags in their yard, wore MAGA caps. I mean, they are mad that we're in this situation in Iran. They're mad over gas prices, and a lot of them stayed home. I do not think, at least in Kentucky, I don't think that these upset MAGA people voted Democrat. They just didn't vote.

So we've got to regain their trust. I think we can do it. I think that new leadership, which we're going to have new leadership. You know, Mike Johnson, good friend of mine, no longer going to be the face of the Republicans in Congress. It's either going to be Scalise or Jordan.

And we got a lot of work to do, and it starts next week when we go back to Washington. I'm confident we can do it because the future of our country depends on it. I am very concerned about some of the new members of Congress on the on the Democrat side. I do not think socialism is the answer, but I think there's a lot of those guys that really believe socialism is the answer. All right, I want to bring into the conversation Caleb Park, a journalist and host of the Good Report.

With Caleb Park, his website calebpark dot com. That's Park with an E. Caleb, a lot of moving parts today, and you just heard the breaking news: Stephen Miller, now the new White House chief of staff, and a lot of people believe that move is meant to send a message that the America First movement is still alive and well inside the White House. What say you? Yeah, Todd.

I think you know after we look at this, the election results. America first is what the Democrats essentially ran on, and so I think it's important for Trump to signal that he's getting back to America first. I I agree with Comer there that I think a lot of people were upset with the Iran war, and they, but I do think that a lot of Republicans actually did vote for Democrats, or they did a. Protest, vote for you know, or they sat sat out. But yeah, I think he's right about this.

I think they they do need to get back to America first, being the economy, getting those gas prices down. When people are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to live, and you have college students that are graduating and don't have jobs with the rise of AI and All of this—it's a huge problem, and you know that was something that the Democrats were talking about. It. I. I think that it makes sense that the Trump administration will be shuffling people in the next two years.

They do have to do what they can to help Republicans rebuild, because you and I both know. After this shellacking, the blue tsunami, it's going to be tough for Republicans to come back from this, and 2028 is going to be very, very crucial for them if they want to, you know, gain back any ground. Or, you know, Democrats could gain even more, which is. Kind of scary with the push of socialism, Caleb. When I was looking at specifically young male voters, and the—I mean, it was very clear their anger was directed at the Republican Party.

In Texas alone, just the Texas Senate race, these are the New York Times numbers. Men between the ages of eighteen and forty-four swung nearly fifty points toward the Democrat James Talarico, and you know, Caleb, that tells me. That all of the stuff about because the only the only campaign messaging the only campaign messaging coming out of the Republicans is the guy's a vegan he likes transgender kids and he thinks God is non-binary and and all that stuff is weird and creepy but at the end of the day they didn't care about weird and creepy those young people cared about how come I can't afford to buy a house. Exactly, Todd, and you know Trump going on the campaign trail and making it all about him, and you know posting the memes on the White House social media. Trust in Trump, they did, you know, Republicans did, and look where it got us.

And you know, he said, "I'm on the ballot." People voted that way, and that's why we had James Talerico win in such a massive way. And then you had Democrats up and down the ballot that we didn't even. Hear about? They didn't make headlines, but they won elections because the Republican side it was all about Trump, and we didn't get to know any of the candidates, you know, on a on a national scale, what which you normally do during the midterms. And I think that focus that was on the war, renaming things, you know, that kind of stuff.

It just And and Trump is all about beautifying DC, and what about the rest of the country? What about the people that are living paycheck to paycheck and dealing with these high gas prices and not able to get jobs? And I think young men, especially, felt like they were betrayed by Trump when he said, "You know, we're not going to get you into wars. We're going to lower the." Lower inflation, you know, get you jobs—all things that he criticized Biden for. He didn't exactly help over the past two years, and that really, really hurt us, especially among young men.

I want to switch gears to the the reaction of the vitriol coming from the left. I mean, there is a lot of of blowback already. You've got hundreds of people that are are taking to social media. Caleb, one of them was calling for Nuremberg-like trials. People calling for Elon Musk to be arrested, Trump supporters to be arrested, thrown into concentration camps.

And I want you to listen to this crazy Democrat. She's a lesbian, and she's really fired up. Cut number fifty, please. Here's the thing: I don't want impeachment. I don't want them to serve time.

I want them taken into the city town square, hung from their ankles, and cut them from groin to chin. All right, a little difficult to understand there, Caleb. I will interpret. She wants all of them hung from their ankles. Talking about Republicans, pardon me, hung from their ankles, and then she said she wanted them.

Gutted from their groin to their chain. This is the kind of vitriol coming from the the left. Your reaction to this lesbian libtard? You know, Todd Trump was elected in large part as a retribution in 2016 to blow up the system, and then in 2020 when he lost, it was you know the Democrats went after him. They went after his family.

They went after Republicans, conservatives, pro-life members, Catholics, Christians. And when he got elected in 2024, it was you know there was a bit of a retribution. Like let's get back. You know. We got we got to swing the pendulum back, and you're starting to see this violent left wing libtard, as you pointed out.

They're they're being emboldened now, and they see this election, they see I'm sure 2028 as a retribution against that and. That I think is scary because we saw the reaction that they had to Charlie Kirk's assassination, and just over the past year, it's been more and more disturbing. And you know, people are saying, "Oh, they're just mocking; they're just you know being playful." That that's not. She's clearly in, you know, got mental health issues, and mental health issues are only going to get worse. By the way, well, speaking of that, I know you've been all over this story.

The two left-wing podcasters, Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, and they were laughing about digging up Charlie Kirk's body and assassinating him again. I mean, these are very prominent individuals. They they've interviewed a lot of very famous people, and they have these huge platforms. Exactly, Todd. They are they're celebrated by the left, and you know they're these supposed to be these relatable suburban Democrat moms, and here they are doubled over laughing for thirty seconds about digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again, and this is you know.

They their defense is that they're just laughing and joking and mocking it. They don't actually mean this, but let's be real, they do, and that's the disturbing thing. They're mocking, you know, abortions, transing kids, all these things that you know. It's it reminds me of the Old Testament verse that says, "Woe to those who call good evil and evil good." And um, you know, God's judgment. He's a merciful God, but you know, we can.

We can only do so much before we have the judgment of God, and and you know part of the the election with Trump, I think Republicans deserved what they got, and on the flip side, you know Democrats will this kind of thing, they're going to get what they deserve, and I think we have to be really, really careful here, mocking, you know, mocking people. Celebrating violence. This is not a path that I think either party wants to go down. We've we've had a civil war in this country before, where brothers fought brothers. I don't want to ever see that.

I hope we never have to see that. And and watching Charlie Kirk get get assassinated. That I I hope we can swing the pendulum because this is dark stuff, Todd. It is indeed Caleb Park. We're going to have to leave it there, my friend.

We'll visit with you again a next Friday. Maybe a little bit lighter topic can be in order. It will be lighter, and that's the good thing about this, Todd. Things will get better.

So, God bless. Have a good weekend. We will recover. Love it. All right, a good word there from Caleb Park, calebpark dot com.

Go and check out Caleb's great website and his great commentary. All right. By the way, Del, where is Delan? Delan, get to a microphone. I I need to ask you a question about something.

I I know you're a big. You're like a big cheesesteak guy, you know, like Lenny's. I do enjoy their cheesesteak, Todd.

So my question is, where where do you get the best cheesesteak in America? And I'm going to go with Lenny's, even though they're based here in Memphis. You know, they've got I think the best cheese cheesesteak sandwich in in America. And do you know what they're they're launching Monday? They're launching a brand new smash burger.

Oh, they're going straight to the smash burger. They're not even going cheeseburger first. No, no, no. It's it's smash burger all the way. Wow.

And they have like a single, a double, a triple, and then a quadruple smash burger. A quadruple smash burger sounds pretty good, Todd. I'm not gonna lie. Four hamburger patties on top of you. I I can't even imagine.

Yeah, but they're smashed, so you can't actually tell.

So yeah, so there. Um, I was talking to uh to to one of the executives at Lenny's, and they're very excited about all of this. And I told him, dude, I said, Memphis International Airport. I actually do this when I'm coming back in from a flight. I'll stop off at the Lenny's inside the airport and get a to go order, yeah, and take my dinner home with me.

Yeah, Lenny's is like one of the best, like fast. I don't know. It's not fast food, right? Because it's like one of the sandwich places. It is.

It's like yeah, sandwich delis and subs. But it's fast. Yeah.

So yeah, it's one of the best like fast food places that I enjoy here. Like it. It is genuinely really good. I am willing. I will.

I will open this up. I for for for debate. But I think Lenny's truly has the best consistent Philly cheese steak. Even though they're based in Tennessee, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Which is why Memphis is the food capital of the world.

We got everything here. We got seafood. We got steaks. And now we have really good cheese steaks, and we have so many barbecue joints. Let me just say this: for the Islamic radicals, I don't think they'll ever, I don't think they'll ever ever attack Memphis.

And the reason why is we have far too many smokers. And God forbid they blow something up and it splatters the the pig. You know they can't. They don't like that. They don't like the pork.

They think it defiles you or something.

So anyway, I think we're safe as a result of that. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, just like around May. You know the the summertime, we we really do pork really well.

So I wouldn't ever imagine them coming here at all. You know, Uncle Jerry, your of course your beloved grandfather, my my beloved uncle, Uncle Jerry was you know an inventor, and he came up with what was it was really a wonderful device. It was an anti-terrorism vest that you could wear, so you were if you were walking into you know like a foreign country or something, nobody would blow anything up, or it was like a vest. But it was encased in bacon, like long strips of bacon. And he called it the Baconator, and then, of course, as the story goes in the family legacy, apparently Burger King stole the title.

I think Wendy's or Wendy's was it Wendy's? Yeah, yeah. It was one of the two. I sound so fat right now. It was a huge controversy in the family because, right?

Do we sue Wendy's for taking Uncle Jerry's name? I don't think you ever trademarked it, Todd. We could have, we should have done that. You got to trademark people. You do.

You got to trademark. Trademark Jeezalu, right now. You know, there you go. Got to put that on T-shirts. All right, let's make that happen.

Okay, nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. Happy Friday to you. We had some, we had some great calls today.

Well done, all of you, and and we made it through a difficult week. And and ladies and gentlemen, let me just say that we're going to get through this together. All right. There are, and I will just say this: there are a lot of talk radio hosts out there, and many of them are just full of malarkey, and there. There's there's one prominent one in Georgia, and that guy goes wherever the wind blows.

Now you may not agree with what we say on this program, but you know that it is my honest to goodness opinion. And I've been doing this a long time, and my opinions do not change. The core values that I had when I was eighteen, nineteen years old are the core values I still hold on to today. Many. Many years later, well, not that many years later.

Okay, it's many years later, but you you know what I'm talking about.

So all that to say is, you know, as the Bible tells us, don't let your heart be troubled by these things. Right, we're going to get through it. We know that God is in control, and we're gonna we're gonna laugh and we're gonna holler and get mad every now and again. It's gonna happen. It is going to happen.

But I do believe if we hold, if we hold the Republicans accountable, then we're going to be able to change this. Let me let me say this. All right. Homework over the weekend. Call your congressman.

Call your senators and demand that they go back to Washington and get the president's agenda finished. Will you do that for me? And then on Monday, we're going to open up the phone lines. I want to hear from you. I want to hear what your what your elected leaders told you.

But we cannot just allow this all just to fade away, right? We're gonna if we're going to go down fighting, we're going to go down fighting. By golly. But I'm not going to sit there and just surrender. I'm going to fight like nobody's business, and I hope you will too.

And if you don't, well, that's on you. But we're still going to fight. I'm still going to say what needs to be said. We're going to do that every day on this program. No matter what, I can promise you that.
