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

That's right. I love this American ride for you now, na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na for a liberal justice to ask.

Now we've got the diversity hired, the justice diversity. Um she's all upset. And she's she's we know where she's going with all of this. I want you to listen to Cut 14 here. Final question.

The Colorado Supreme Court concluded that the violent attempts of the petitioner supporters in this case to halt the count on January 6th qualified as an insurrection as defined by Section And I read your opening brief to accept that those events counted as an insurrection, but then your reply seemed to suggest that they were not.

So, what is your position as to that? We never accepted or conceded in our opening brief that this was an insurrection. What we said in our opening brief was President Trump. Did not engage in any act that can plausibly be characterized as insurrection. What is your argument that it's not?

Your reply brief says that it wasn't because I think you say it did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow the government.

So that's one of many reasons. But for an insurrection, there needs to be an organized, concerted effort to overthrow the government of the United States through violence. And this is the same thing.

So at your point, is that a chaotic effort to overthrow the government? Is not an insurrection? We didn't concede that it's an effort to overthrow the government either, Justice Jackson. None of these criteria were met. This was a riot.

It was not an insurrection. The events were shameful, criminal, violent, all of those things. But it did not qualify as insurrection as that term is used in Section 3. Thank you. All right, there you go.

She was really riled up. And normally the justices are very measured, but she is way in over her head. But again, that's Justice Jackson, and she was the diversity hire. The only reason she was selected by President Biden is because of her race and skin color. And that's unfortunate.

Meanwhile, you have brilliant scholars on the and jurist on the bench like Clarence Thomas, who is actually nominated because of his ability, because of his brain. not because of his skin color. And we're going to be playing more of this audio through as a matter of fact, I think we let's Dylan, I sent you a couple of clips. Let's play those back to back. All right.

Well, we're working on that, so we'll try to get that here momentarily for you. But again, we're in breaking news coverage today as the Supreme Court justices hear arguments. And this is a very important case because if the justices decide, that an individual state has the the right to determine uh who gets on that ballot You could have every blue state in America suddenly decide: okay, we're not going to put Donald Trump on the ballot. We're only going to allow the Republicans to put candidates on the ballot that we agree with. And as ludicrous as that may be, that is ultimately the issue that's being decided right now.

And I hope you understand where all of this is going, everybody. We're talking about a massive shift in. Our way of life in this country. Mm-hmm. We're talking about a generation of young people who have been raised to hate our values, to hate our system of government, to hate our freedoms.

And those people are of the age now where they are beginning to make decisions that impact the rest of us. And what's going to happen? We've got another generation coming right behind them.

So we've got the Millennials and we have Gen Z.

Now Gen Z is trending a bit more conservative than the Millennials. But the reality of it is this: in the coming years, we are going to see more and more of our rights being curtailed. In other words, there will come a time. When you will have a majority of the people in this country who believe that there should be a crackdown on people like Donald Trump, that there should be decisions made. That we should not have freedom, that the government should make decisions for us.

This is what the kids are being taught in these indoctrination centers that we call public schools nowadays.

So we're going to be taking your cause on this. Where do you stand on the Supreme Court and the case that's being heard right now? Should a single state have that right? And if they do, by the way, now look, Um I will say this. If the Supreme Court comes out and says Colorado has every right to determine who's on the ballot, great.

Then you know what?

So do the Red States. Pull Joe Biden off of every red state ballot. Pull every Democrat off of the ballots. That's what I say. If the Supreme Court goes down this path.

I don't think they are. If I'm hearing, and again, I think Elena Kagan asked a very important question, and I think. That we could possibly extrapolate from that question that she thinks this is a bonker's case. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926.

So we're going to be monitoring that. We're pulling audio from the hearings throughout the program. Another big story that's happening later today on X, we will be able to watch the interview of Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin. And people are going bonkers over this, including a lot of people in the Trump circle. And one of them being Sebastian Gorka, he is outraged.

That Tucker Carlson is sitting down and doing an interview with Vladimir Putin. And there are a lot of other conservatives, and we love Gorka. I mean, he's good. He's very conservative, pro Trump. But Gorka is enraged over all of this.

So is Hilary Clunson.

So Hillary is calling Tucker Carlson a puppy dog and a useful idiot, cut number one. I mean, he's like a puppy dog. You know, he somehow is, after having been fired from so many Outlets in the United States, he I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with outlet because he is a useful idiot. He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin's pack of lies about Ukraine.

So I don't see why Putin wouldn't give him an interview because through him he can continue to lie about what his objectives are in Ukraine and what he expects to see happen.

So Hillary is enraged over this. Much of the conservative media is Washington Times coming out against Chucker Carlson. How dare you and their argument is, how dare you give Vladimir Putin a platform? How dare you sit down and interview Vladimir Putin?

Now there are people out there saying that Tucker Carlson may be breaking the law that he, as an American citizen, he does not have a right to interview Putin. Cut number three: this is Ian Corzine. Tucker Carlson is interviewing Vladimir Putin today, and many people believe it's going to go horribly wrong for Tucker. My first question was: Is it even legal for a US reporter to go over to a country that we're basically at war with and interview the president of that country? The answer is yes, but I forecast some big problems ahead for Tucker Carlson.

The Espionage Act is a U.S. law that basically prohibits us from spying or leaking classified documents to foreign countries. But the words of the law are super broad and could be construed to prohibit any sharing of information with another country with intent to harm the U.S. Is it possible that Tucker shared his questions with Putin's people before the interview? Is it possible that Putin's people provided Tucker with evidence supporting their war with Ukraine?

This is definitely information covered by the Espionage Act.

However, does Tucker Carlson have an intent to harm the U.S.? This is where the Espionage Act case against Tucker. Weaker, and it gets even more weak when you consider that the U.S. government is duty-bound to follow the dictates of the U.S. Constitution.

The Constitution guarantees freedom of the press, and the U.S. Supreme Court has done everything it can to protect this provision and journalists. That's why only in extreme cases can the U.S. government violate the Constitution. Journalists are free to publish classified information or information that was stolen, so long as the media didn't steal the information, unless the government can demonstrate an immediate and direct threat to national security.

So, my view is that Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin is ultimately legal, but Tucker is acting boldly. He's taking a risk that he could be prosecuted later on in time on bogus charges. Yeah.

So there you go. That's one train of thought here: Tucker could open himself up to legal jeopardy here. There are others who say Tucker ought to be kicked out of the country, that he should not be allowed to stay in America because he wanted to interview Vladimir Putin. And by the way, we're getting some word that, and again, this is unconfirmed, that Tucker Carlson has been put on an enemies of Ukraine list.

So the Ukrainians are I don't know what to make of this. Are they threatening to kill Tucker Carlson? I don't know. Yeah.

All that to say. When did this become a problem? When did it become a problem for an American journalist to sit down and interview a world leader?

Now you may not like Vladimir Putin. He's done terrible things. He's committed great atrocities. But the reality is he's a world leader. I don't seem to recall Hillary and everybody else getting bent out of shape when the governor of California.

Paddled around with Xi Ji Ping. Right, we've got those photos. I've got them up on the Twitter feed.

So I I'd like for somebody to explain to me how that's okay. And Tucker Carlson sitting down and interviewing Vladimir Putin is somehow. A war crime. How is that possible? Mm-hmm.

Now, I want to throw this out here because I plan on watching the interview tonight. Are you going to watch it? I'm planning on watching it. And I don't know if that's going to end up putting me on somebody's hit list. I don't know.

Don't care. I really don't. I live in Memphis. I'm familiar with danger every day. But I will say this.

Something's not right about all of this. And is it possible? And again, we don't know. We don't know what Putin said. I have no idea.

I don't know what Tucker asked him about. But I do know this. That the idea that someone would be frightened that That Putin would agree to an interview, that tells me that something's up. Maybe Putin does know about what's happening over here in this country. Maybe Vladimir Putin is going to expose a few secrets.

And by the way, Hillary Clinton? I seem to recall. misses Bill Clinton, Hilary Rodham, I seem to remember um a certain dossier, That her campaign Got from the Russians. To take out Donald Trump and his campaign. Looks to me like Hillary Rodham was the one colluding, misses Bill Clinton.

She was the one who was colluding with the Russians to take out Donald Trump. I wonder if Tucker asks him about I hope he does. I hope he's by the way, what's up with the with Hillary? And the golden showers stuff. What's up with that?

So again, there's a lot to unravel here, but I'm curious: do you have a problem? With Tucker Carlson interviewing Vladimir Putin, if so, why? Why? I mean, there are literally people right now that want him. that they want him removed from the country.

They want him arrested for simply sitting down and asking questions. By the way, Megan Kelly sat down, did an interview with Putin, Nobody seemed to get upset about that. What about Dan Rather? Nobody seemed to be upset about that. When he interviewed Saddam Hussein remember that?

His name was Saddam, but HW Saddam Saddam Hussein I'm just saying. There is precedent here. Quite frankly, I'd like to know why other reporters were not able to get the interview that Tucker Carlson got. All right, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Oh, I've got to hear this. All right, here's Justice Kavanaugh a few moments ago. He had the opportunity to call witnesses remotely. He didn't use all of his time at trial. There was ample process here, and this is how ballot access determinations in election cases are decided all the time.

Okay. Second question.

Some of the rhetoric of your position, I don't think it is your position, but some of the rhetoric of your position seems to suggest. Unless the states can do this, no one can prevent insurrectionists from holding federal office. But obviously, Congress has enacted statutes, including one still in effect, Section 2383 of Title 18, prohibits insurrection. It's a federal criminal statute. And if you're convicted of that, you are it says shall be disqualified from holding any office.

And so there is a federal statute on the books, but President Trump has not been charged with that.

So what are we to make of that? Wow. Good for you, Kavanaugh. Let's go to the phone lines here. 901 260 5926.

Bill in North Carolina, WSIC is our fine affiliate there, wants to weigh in on Tucker Carlson. Hi, Bill. What you got for us? Oh, hi.

Well, think about it. I mean, know your enemy, right? And Tucker's able to interview questions and it's going to be filmed, and I'm sure it's going to be analyzed by a lot of native Russian speakers and several three letter agencies and the people who read body language and they'll look for all the tales As far as I'm concerned, this is just going to be another free letter agency treasure trove. They're going to get more information out of this interview than people care to think about. You see, that's what I was thinking.

I'm with you on this, Bill. I think it's beneficial. This is absolutely insane, though. A lot of people are weighing in on social media. And, Bill, one of the things folks are saying is that the fact the response that people are having really shows that there are some in this government very nervous about the secrets Putin might spill.

May you go. All right, Bill, appreciate that call. And it's true. There's a lot going on, folks, a lot that you and I don't know about. But the Russians.

They get it. We're going to have some audio from Tucker coming up in just a moment. Also, we are watching all of the developments unfold at the Supreme Court. Ladies and gentlemen, The future of free elections literally hangs in the balance right now. There are Democrat attorneys general.

Just think about this. There are Democrat attorneys general. who believe that we don't have a right to vote for who we want to. They believe the Democrats believe they have a right. To pick and choose whom Who we vote for.

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Bear. All right, I think we've got some audio coming from Mar-a-Laco. Let's take a listen here. All he knows how to do is drop bombs all over the place, meaningless bombs, except they kill a lot of people. It costs a lot of money.

Every time you see a bomb, it's another million dollars. And it actually sets us back. We have peace through strength. This should not be happening. The Middle East is blowing up.

It's blowing up. And a lot of people are being killed and it's so unnecessary.

So I just say that in watching The Supreme Court today, I thought it was very It's a very beautiful process. I hope that. Democracy in this country will continue. Because right now we have a very, very tough situation with all of the radical left ideas, with the weaponization of politics. They weaponized it like it's never been weaponized before.

It's totally illegal, but they do it anyway. And it has to stop. Every one of the court cases, and I'm involved, every single one, civil, whether it's the Attorney Generals or the District Attorneys, you look at. Foddy. in Georgia.

Big thing. They had many meetings. With the White House and with the DOJ. They went there eight-hour meetings. That was all staged.

That was a phony hoax. And now you look at it, and it is a phony hoax. And hopefully, that case will be dismissed in short order. It's a disgrace to this country. But they work together with the Justice Department and the White House, and not supposed to do that.

Every one of these cases you see comes out of the White House. It comes out of Biden. It's election interference, and it's really very sad. I thought the presentation today was. A very good one.

I think it was well received. I hope it was well received. You have millions of people that are out there wanting to vote. And they happen to want to vote for me, or the Republican Party, or whatever you want to, however you want to phrase it. But I'm the one running, and we are leading in every poll.

We're leading in the local polls, in the state polls, and we're leading in the swing state polls. And we're leading very big in the national poll.

So it's been a very great honor. We love the country. I think the reason we have such big leads, frankly, is that they loved four years of us. compared to the three years plus the three years that they've gone with Biden, where you have open borders, you have crime. Nobody's ever seen crime like this, what's happening.

And now the crime is being committed, much of it by the migrants that have come in illegally to our country. I was wondering about that. I said, you know, a lot of these people come out of jails, they come out of mental institutions. They come out of places that you don't want to know about. We don't even know where they come from.

We don't know who they are, where they are. They're being dumped in from mental institutions, from prisons and jails. And many terrorists are coming into our country. We're going to be paying a big price. They have to stop it.

They have to close the border. By the way, the President. can do it just by saying, I want the border closed. I closed the border. We had the safest border in the history of our country.

Now we have the most unsafe border in the history of the world. There's never been a country with a border like this. Not even a third world country.

So uh we are Again, we're going out to Nevada right now. We'll be out there.

Some of you are going to be out there with us. Otherwise, your colleagues will be. And hopefully, we're going to have a big night caucus tonight. We're going to have a very big night. We expect to have a very big night.

The Virgin Islands, as you know, are also very much in play today, so we'll be hearing about them sometime during the day or later on in the evening. And it's an honor to have you at Mar-a-Lago. I hope you like it. It's worth a little more than $18 million. Here's another case.

Jed says, $18 million. I said. Uh which uh Which cabin are we talking about? But that's the kind of justice we have when they say that to try and build up the case. That was a shame.

But they gave up so much. When they said that, they gave up so much that Mar-a-Lago's worth. $18 million they had it appraised for, as you know. 50 to 100 times that amount. We ever judge it, that's what he said.

And he's supposed to be ruling on me? But who knows? Maybe he'll be fair. I doubt it, but maybe he'll be fair.

So I want to thank everybody. And by the way, we proved that case 100% five times over. Our case is 100% proven five times over. We've never seen anything like it. He just wouldn't dismiss it, no matter what.

Shouldn't it be there? It should have been in the commercial division. Anyway, it's an honor to have you. I look forward to having you again, and I'll probably see you out in Nevada. All right.

Thank you, Mr. President. There you go. President Donald John Trump at Mar-a-Lago. And I will say this: that yours truly, I've been there several times and have had dinner at Mar-a-Lago, a wonderful place, great meal, ordered the meatloaf.

It's really good. And then I was with the president there and got the grand tour of the place. That place is worth at least half a billion dollars, ladies and gentlemen. I think the gold flakes in my diet Coca-Cola were worth that. It's pretty snazzy.

It's a fancy place. Anyway, President Trump is sounding pretty upbeat today, heading out to Nevada a little bit later on for the caucus out there. And here is my prediction on the Supreme Court ruling: 6-3. in favor of Trump. That's where I think this is going.

6-3 in favor of Trump. Go ahead and mark me down for that. There's no way this court is going to decide otherwise. There's no way. Because, as Justice Kavanaugh said in his comments from the bench just a little while ago, Trump has never been accused of insurrection.

He has never been charged with insurrection. And that's a very important issue.

So, the diversity higher on the bench may not understand that. She may not be able to grasp that concept, but it's true. It's absolutely true. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Just wanted to make sure you heard the President's remarks there. And people are they're going insane right now. On social media, which is why I am very comfortable in suggesting that it's a 6-3. It could be a unanimous, but I don't think so because of the diversity judge. By the way, folks, you've been hearing a lot about President Trump and his vice presidential wedding mate.

Who is that person going to be?

Well, our friends over at Newsmax are conducting a national poll, and they're asking Americans just like you, who do you think Trump ought to pick? Nikki Haley? No, probably not. Ben Carson? Probably.

Rod DeSantis, Tim Scott. What do you think?

So, Newsmax wants to know what you think, and they want you to vote in their brand new poll on Trump's vice presidential pick. All you need to do is take out your smartphone and text the word skip to 39747. That's skip to 39747. It'll literally take just a few seconds. They're going to send you a poll, and you'll be able to enter your thoughts into the contest.

And remember that President Trump watches Newsmax, and so you never know. You might just possibly influence President Trump and his decision-making there. You never know. All right.

We're going to take a break. When we come back, I've got to tell you about this mayor. She's a nut job. Her name is Tiffany Henyard. And she's squawking like a she's squawking like a chicken.

She's very upset. The woman makes almost $300,000 a year as the mayor of a tiny town. We're going to tell you all about that coming up next. Tired of struggling just for your customers to notice you? Your business needs Constant Contact.

And this is the headline from the New York Times. The Supreme Court seemed poised on Thursday to issue a lopsided decision rejecting a challenge to President Donald J. Trump's eligibility to hold office again.

So you say, Todd, what does that mean? It means that Trump is making the judicial system great again. That's what that means. This is going to be ugly, but it should be a defi this should ultimately settle the decision once and for all whether or not an individual state has the right to remove a name from the ballot.

So good for you, Supreme Court. We do not have the official decision yet, but when we do, we will bring it to you. But certainly, the New York Times, I think, has a pretty good peg on this. And it's not looking good.

So the arguments are over usually.

Now here's the deal. It usually takes about three months. after an argument to the for the court to issue a decision.

So the biggest rulings normally don't arrive until late June. The question is, when will we find out about Trump? In this particular case, since we're talking about the election, and the New York Times says the case argued today is different. And they believe the nation will expect and can expect a prompt ruling.

So we're going to let you know if that happens today, I think that will be a shock. But, you know, they may just, you know, after they wrap up the arguments. They could go back into the back and pop open some Baptist martinis and say, all right, this is a load of hooey. and come back and issue a ruling.

So we'll let you know if that happens. Fascinating. Again, our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Have you heard about this weird story? This is involving a mayor in a small village. Uh the town of Dalton, Illinois. Her name is Tiffany Henyard, and she was elected in twenty twenty one. They've only got about twenty thousand residents, so it's not a large town, right?

She's making almost three hundred thousand dollars a year. and a salary. And she is really upset because people are demanding an investigation. And it is a predominantly black town, okay?

So you need to understand that so you'll understand the context of her remarks. But here's where we're at. The local town leaders want an investigation. Because they say her salary is nearly $300,000. She's been charging nearly $24,000 to the town's accounts.

And most of that is going for beauty vendors. And so finally, she is outraged. And she says, and by the way, WGN Television, they've been investigating this, and they say that she has been spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on trips. On food. And she's been spending money on her allies.

And the town leadership is like. We we can't afford this. This is bonkers. She spent more than sixty-seven thousand dollars on trips to Portland, Austin, Atlanta, New York City. and of course she flew first class.

So were the accommodations. Holy smokes She stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel. in Atlanta. That's a nice hotel. Whenever I'm in Atlanta, I stay at the four seasons.

And you know what? It's because it's my money. If I was going there on somebody else's dime, I would not be staying at the Four Seasons.

Well, no, Dylan, I yeah, I'd normal yes, I like to stay at the Hampton M, but you know, you like to splurge a little bit and uh they got a great buffet on Saturdays and Sundays. No, I know the Hampton Ends is free, but it's a little bit more extravagant than the. The Scrambled Eggs at the Hampton Inn. I dislike to do that. In New York City, the bill for the visit was $13,000.

So here is the Mayor. Blasting all of the people in that town who are demanding answers. Cut five.

Now y'all should be ashamed of y'allself, y'all black, y'all black. And y'all sitting up here beating and attacking on a black woman. That's in power. Yeah.

Y'all should be ashamed of y'allselves. Y'all forget I am the leader. They wanna hear from the mayor. If y'all ain't learned that yet. The mayor, not the trustees.

That don't do nothing, that only run they mouth. Y'all don't do no work, no work. Ha ha ha ha ha. Thank you. Mayor she's the mayor of a chocolate city.

I believe that's the proper lingo we're supposed to use. But anyway, Mayor McChocolate here is very upset. And uh she said, How dare you? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?

And what I love is that these are black citizens that are like, wait a second. The average income in that town is around $26,000 a year. $26,000. That is the average income for those people. And then the mayor is out there making nearly $300,000 a year.

And which, by the way, is more than most. Most mayors are making. I think she's making almost as much as, I'll have to check, the President of the United States. Do a quick Google search, Dylan, and let me know. The President of the United States, she may be on up there.

She's certainly making more than members of Congress. or US Senators. And this woman is Ather, who is Who do you think you are? Can we play that again? I love this.

It's because she's being very honest here, right? Look, she was like, how dare you? This is America. You don't. No, Americans don't have a right to question black people.

Who do you think you are, black people? Y'all should be ashamed of y'all self. Y'all black. Y'all are black. And y'all sitting up here beating and attacking on a black woman.

That's in power. Y'all should be ashamed of y'allselves. Y'all forget I am the leader. They want to hear from the mayor. If y'all ain't learnt that yet.

The mayor, not the trustees that don't do nothing, that only run their mouth. That'll do no work, no work. Don't you be beaten on a chocolate mayor? Don't you be doing that! Wow.

All right, we'll see how this goes. But again, her argument is, and she's really thought this through, and this is a component of critical race theory: is that you should never question a black leader. And if you do, you're a racist, even if you're black. I'm surprised that she didn't come flat out and accuse all of the black citizens of being racist. How dare you?

How dare you question her? She has a right to go to the four seasons on the taxpayer dime. I mean, this is I folks, I'm just telling you.

So anyway, we'll see how long this gal's going to be in office. She may be heading to jail if there are criminal activities at play here. Dylan, have we learned how much the President of the United States makes? All right, get back to me. We can Google it.

nine oh one two six zero five nine two six That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Coming up, folks, we're going to be talking a little bit later on with our friends from WCBM, our great affiliate in Baltimore, Maryland. And it is we're going to have a lot of fun. Their pizza hut is now debuting a breakup pizza. And we're going to be talking to Bruce Elliott and Sean Casey about that.

Also. A new poll shows that black and Hispanic voters are abandoning the Democrat Party. We're going to get their report on that. And then coming up in the next hour, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters. Turns out PETA.

has tried to get Oklahoma to display the ten Oh, that's not. Oh, I thought it said ten virgin commandments. That's the ten vegan commandments. That's a big difference there.

Well, that explains the eggplant now.

So, yeah, so the ten vegan commandments.

So we'll be checking in with the estate superintendent. Also, a shout out, by the way, to all of our listeners on the Big Talker, KQAM in Wichita. Your state attorney general is really crushing it. Chris Kobach putting out a letter. Six school districts in Kansas are Are now telling their teachers and staff that if a child is transgender or gender nonconforming, they have to keep that information away from the parents.

And Chris Kobach is coming in, 23-page letter that went out to these school districts and said, That is a violation of parental rights, and you cannot do that.

So I say good for you, Mr. Kobach. Todd, I found out. $400,000. $400,000.

President of the United States, $400,000. The mayor of this tiny town in Illinois, almost $300,000. Thank you, Dylan. All right, we got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926.

Todd Starns. All right, verily, verily. Hello, America. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Hour two of the big show underway.

And we got an interesting note here from PETA, the People for Eating Tasty Animals Society. PETA's very upset, and they they sent a note to Ryan Walters, who is the state superintendent of public instruction there in Oklahoma. And they are demanding that the state of Oklahoma display. What they're calling the ten vegan commandments. In all public schools.

And we're not going to go through all of them, but number 10: thou shalt not consume an animal's flesh, skin, or eggs, nor anything else that belongs to an animal. Oh, by the way, you know what I had the other day? It was a delicious fried chicken biscuit. And you got to keep the skin on the chicken here. And then they put an egg on top of that, Delantanger.

It's very tasty. Uh I think that violated that commandment. Thou shalt not covet your neighbor's ass. Oh, wait a second. That's in the real Ten Commandments.

My apologies. Let's go to the Patriot mobile newsmaker line and welcome our next guest. He is the Oklahoma State School Superintendent, Ryan Walters. I hope you're eating a cheeseburger right now, mister Superintendent. I actually did just finish a cheeseburger, and it's funny that.

Keita, you know, they love to mock. Uh Christians love to mock, you know, most Americans. And you know, here in Oklahoma, Are between cattle, poultry, hogs, milk, cows, that's $3.94 billion in cash receipts.

So here in Oklahoma, Uh we eat beef, uh we eat chicken, we eat pork, uh, we eat eggs, and uh yeah, we're not we're not gonna go uh hosting the vegan Bill of Rights or Ten Commandments anywhere soon.

Well, I'm glad to hear this. One of the things, and maybe you can help clear this up since we've got you on the air here. I'm always confused by you folks in Oklahoma because everything is chicken fried, even if it's not chicken. That's right. You can chicken fry, you can fry just about anything, Todd.

I mean, you really can, and it really is very tasty. I had chicken-fried steak, which was not chicken, it was steak, and it was all very confusing. I'm just, you know. That's right. I'm just a regular guy from Tennessee.

You've got to help me out here. We like to give you plenty of options here.

So, you know, we've got. Tremendous beef industry here, tremendous pork industry here. And so, you know, it's funny, you know, Pina does this from time to time with us and kind of sent me that smart elect note.

So I I sent him a video response yesterday of, you know, I do, I I I have a McDonald's literally on the street where my office is, so I frequent it often. And I just. Had a cheeseburger for lunch, and so I had to shoot them a video of me eating a cheeseburger there. And boy, they got their feelings all kind of hurt on that yesterday. And it didn't help any that I told them I was actually eating a steak.

From one of our steakhouses last night here.

So I think they're pretty irritated with me right now. But, you know, Oklahomans and most Americans, you know, hey, we're. We're going to continue eating beef and steak. I love this. Trolling with a cheeseburger.

This is terrific. Superintendent Walters, we've been following a story out of Kansas, and I wanted to get your take on this, where the Attorney General is sending a letter to a number of school districts that are now telling employees you have to hide any information about a transgender child or a gender nonconforming child from the mom and the dad. And again, it's setting up this idea that schools know better than moms and dads. And I know that you have been addressing a lot of these issues in the Sooner State. It's outrageous.

And matter of fact, we did the opposite. We passed a rule to my board that said. You have to inform parents of any type of conversation around transgenderism or sexuality with a kid.

So first of all, you're never to address those to a kid. But if a kid were to bring that up to you as a teacher or counselor, you have to call the parent, let them know, bring them in, tell them what's going on. We have a school district, we have a really liberal school district in Stillwater that sent a letter out to all their parents saying, Well, we're still gonna, you know, there's certain things we don't need to tell you all. And so we immediately said, that is absolutely false. You will not do that.

We will investigate your school district if you continue this.

So send out a new letter and tell your parents. No, actually you're going to tell them everything because the reality is parents know best for their kids, and we are fed up with listening to woke left liberals trying to convince our kids that there's twenty seven genders or that they're they're a boy today, girl tomorrow. We're done with that, and we have to hold these districts accountable and make sure that the parents are at the center of any conversation. I was looking at a story. Wall Street Journal did a profile piece of you.

I love the headline: He taught AP history.

Now he targets teachers for being too woke. First of all, I didn't realize that you taught AP history, but I think it has to have given you a pretty good idea of what was really happening in the school system. Yes, Mariette. I was a teacher for ten years and I went to a history training, and I'll tell you the story real quick because I went to a history training and we were talking about how to teach dir uh different primary sources. And we got to the Declaration of Independence And I have someone in the room stand up and tell the presenter, well, I don't want to really Anything good about it because Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner.

And and we had several in the room goes, Yeah, you're right. I mean, I hate to even a act like there's anything good about that document. And I stood up and said, guys, I'm telling you right now, if you're a US history teacher, And you don't understand that the Declaration of Independence forever changed the course of human event? That it changed the entire dynamic to give us all these rights and understand they came from God. You don't need to be teaching history.

And it was just amazing to me as a teacher to listen to how many leftists have gotten into the classroom. How dangerous is this to the country at at large, what what's happening in these in these classrooms? I will tell you, I truly believe it's an existential threat. Because we know this from history. I was a history teacher.

So when you look at history, you know what happens to civilizations. that forget who they are, forget what their core principles are, forget what their society is built on. Ours is a Judeo-Christian. Country. That was our values we were founded on.

We set up a constitution that has stood the test of time because we acknowledged our rights came from our Creator. Our history is incredible. We have these incredible founders who understood history and understood human nature and understood God. And if we teach that, we will continue to be able to set up a population who can keep this government, as Benjamin Franklin so well put. But if we don't teach them, we will cease to be this great country.

There will be no bringing people together. I hear people talk about the divisiveness in society now, and I go, well, yeah. You know, we have over half the society hasn't heard the story of America. There's nothing to unify people to. And so we have to be teaching our history.

Kids should understand the Constitution, the Declaration, the beliefs of our founders. They should understand the role that faith played, not only in America, but in Western civilization. And if we do that, I have tremendous optimism about the future, but there has to be a sense of urgency to correct our education system to focus on those key truths. You see, I think we're already getting sort of a, and I kind of look at this as the canary in the coal mine. When you look at lawmakers like AOC and the squad and then some of the younger, the newest freshmen in Congress, these are young people who were educated in our public schools in the throes of common core that became critical race theory.

And when you see what that has done to the Democrat Party, I'm concerned that what that's going to do at the state house level and in schools across the country. That that's right. I mean, and that's where We have to have an aggressive Agenda as conservatives to wreck this shit. You know, we play offense here in Oklahoma. I am on offense.

I am going to move our education system back to take it away from the teachers' unions and radical leftists. And embed our core values, get back to the basics, understand math, reading science. But have a true understanding of our history and what it means to be a citizen of the United States of America. And we have to do that with a sense of urgency because of how far the left has taken things. And you're exactly right.

You are seeing it manifest itself now as we're getting these elected officials that have come up and grown up in these schools. They have no idea. The only things they know about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, is that they own slaves. They don't dig into their writings. They don't have an understanding of the context in which they wrote the things that they did.

They don't understand the brilliant. of the Constitution, which is why you see them just trample it. And have no respect for it.

Well, they don't even understand it at a basic level, much less the deep dive. that we used to do in our schools forty years ago. It's a great point. We're going to have to leave it here. We're late for a break.

But Superintendent, we always appreciate the great work you're doing and very excited to see Oklahoma lead the way as we get back to schools doing what schools are supposed to do. Yes, sir.

So much. Appreciate your work. Thank you for being such a conservative champion. All right, Ryan Walters, everybody. He is the state superintendent of education there in Oklahoma.

And you know what I would love for him to do is just send PETA a big old bucket of KFC, extra crispy. Man, would that not be a great y that's how you got a pl that's how you have to deal with these people. By the way, years ago this is years ago, I was working in Sacramento, anchoring at KFBK, which, by the way, is where Rush Limbaugh got his start from the national show, KFBK in Sacramento. And they were having a big PETA protest. And they s they were I think they were protesting fur coats or something.

So anyway, they were promoting the fact that it was going to be a butt-naked protest in downtown Sacramento.

So they send yours truly. out to cover the butt naked peter protest. And it turns out That they were not but naked. They were wearing these flesh-colored body suits.

So nobody. Nobody was naked. It was faux dudity. I'm like, what's the point of this? Nobody's going to cover a faux nude protest.

That doesn't make the news.

Now, if you're butt naked, yeah, that's going to get you news coverage. But if you're just faking it, yeah, you're not going to get good coverage.

So there you go. The 10 vegan commandments. Thou shalt always come to the aid of an animal in need. Thou shalt not wear any garment or ornamentation made from or taken from the body of an animal. I guess Leopard prints out.

Thou shalt not kill, maim, or injure any animal for sport Thou shalt not use animals as conveyances Nor for entertainment. Oh, by the way, that reminds me.

So apparently the PETA people are really upset because of the merry-go-rounds. You know, the ones that where you have the little horses, you get on the horse and then it rides you around as the music plays. Yeah, so apparently that glorifies violence against horses. These people are idiots. All right, we got to take a break.

901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Turbulent times call for clear-headed insight. That's hard to come by these days, especially on TV.

That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds, all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic, truth. Find what you're searching for at snc.tv and on local now channel 525.

All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. A lot of breaking news today, of course, the caucus tonight.

So, we're going to have live coverage of that on Newsmax a little bit later on.

So You know things are going bad. When even Stephen A. Smith over at ESPN I just call them ESPN.

So ESPN, they're. They're really riled up now over the whole illegal immigration thing. I think this is brilliant. I cut number sixteen.

So you can pick and choose. What it came down to for me is this. I see Homeless folks in the streets of New York all the time that are American citizens. I damn sure see him in California. We've got poor, impoverished, starving people who were born and raised in this nation.

How in the hell do we come up with a fifty two million fifty three million dollar pilot program For illegals But folks who are here legally are born here, we don't have enough for them. Just like we could come up with billions for Ukraine. But somehow, some way, we can't fix the homeland problem. I'm down for helping Israel. I'm down for helping address the situations with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, okay?

I'm down for helping the Ukrainians and fighting North Russia. What about poor and desolate citizens here? How the hell do you print money? for foreign countries. But you don't print that money.

to help eradicate Folks that are starving right here in the streets of America, who were born and raised here. This is what I'm talking about. And so when you have something like that, what's the one way to eradicate it? Yes, you got to have a flourishing economy. Yes, you can't have inflation.

Yes, you can't be on the verge of the recession. Milk don't need to cost seven dollars. Bread don't need to cost five dollars. Don't get me started with how much sugar cost. Come on.

You can talk about employment all you want to. You can talk about the labor participation rate. But guess what? If you ain't making no damn money. And you gotta get two jobs.

To pay the same prices or to buy the same amount of stuff that you used to buy and the price is higher than it used to be because of inflation, then guess what? What are you really accomplishing? That's why Trump is on the verge of getting elected, reelected. Because when he was in office, there was a flourishing economy. And he's absolutely right.

So folks, I know, I know, I know what the polling is, and people are saying that immigration is the big issue. And it is the big issue. But the bigger issue is the economy. And the fact that people are not making ends meet anymore. But who's the most important people to the Democrat Party?

Who is that? Who are the most important people to the demon rats? Who are they, ladies and gentlemen?

Well, Senator Chris Murphy. The Democrat from Connecticut. Has the answer. Let's listen. The negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship.

It was entirely on their terms in order to get. Ukraine funding, right?

Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years.

So you are right that that has been the democratic strategy for 30 years maybe. And it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country. This is also not 2013 any longer when we ran that play last.

So he's saying that the most important people in America. are the undocumented people. That would be the illegals.

So I hope all you Democrats out there, and we do have a lot of Democrats that listen to this show, I hope you people realize. What's really going on here? The Democrats don't care about you. They care about the illegals. They don't want your votes anymore.

They're bringing in new voters to replace you. The people on Chicago's South Side get that. But every now and again, and Rush used to get these folks calling in. We call them the seminar listeners, right?

So they're getting the talking points, and then they disperse them out into the talk radio world, and they call up, and they're spewing the talking points from the seminars that they're going to. We don't play that here.

So again, I'm just telling you. That when push comes to shove, the Democrats are shoving the blacks and the Hispanic Americans out of the party and into the arms of the Republicans.

Now, the question is: will the Republicans be smart enough to take advantage of all of this? And I don't think they are. By the way. Word just came out that Mike Johnson had endorsed Matt Rosendale for the U.S. Senate race in Montana.

Now, Mike Johnson has revisited that decision and will no longer endorse Matt Rosendale. And why is that? Because Mitch McConnell is is anti-Matt Rosendale. And that tells you all you need to know about Mike Johnson. Very nice man, a devout follower of our Lord.

Great family man. But he is not ready for prime time just yet. He's just not. That's another story. We're going to get into that, more of that, coming up a little bit later this program.

But something is not good at all. At all with Senator Langford. All right, our telephone number: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Oh, by the way. Ronnie McDaniel. She's pushing back now, and I've got some insight into that. We'll tell you more later. We'll be right back.

All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us on the Todd Starns Radio Show. Let's go, real quick, to the phones, WSIC, one of our great listeners, Patty. Patty, what's going on? I'm here.

I'm cleaning the house. It's nice weather. We're having beautiful weather here in North Carolina. Every time you mention certain things, Todd, The radio goes off. Wait, what?

The radio I'm not kidding, it goes ecstatic. It's like you can't hear nothing.

So, if I'm talking, so give me an example of what you're talking about here.

Well, when you were talking about Tucker Crossing, it started to, I was trying to get you back on the, are you working? Fine, you. I heard you're loud and clear, but once you start making certain things you were like the status. Wow. So so every time I would talk about Tucker Carlson and the Russians, you're telling me that your radio just all of a sudden went to static.

Yes. Huh. I think it's the it's gotta be the Russians, I would think, right? I can I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. That's weird, Patty. All right, we're going to find a. Yeah.

Even when you mention certain things about Trump, it'll go b it'll go Wait, Patty? What? Did you just hear that, Patty? Yeah.

I'm just playing with you. I'm not going crazy. No, you're not going crazy. You're not you're not going crazy. You know what?

Let me tell you something. I still can't get on YouTube. Go there. But, um, I'm I'm gonna tell you, I'm telling you, and I had a girlfriend that called me, she said she had the same problem, and she lived like a couple of miles away. Panty, we're going to look into it.

We are going to check into it with our engineers. But if anybody else out there has had the similar problem, give us a call. And Panty, we're going to let you get back. Do you do the vacuuming as well? And do you do the Swifter?

You know what? Different than Swifties. Those are Tyler and Taylor Swift's. Really?

Okay, I'm just letting you know. All right, Patty. Todd, Todd, you know they don't like you neither, so come on. It's true. No, I know, I know.

All right, Patty, here's the deal: when I come to I'm we're coming to town for the book signing, you have to be there. It's going to be a rule. Oh, I'll be there. All right, good. You better be.

All right, Patty, thanks for the intel. And folks, if you're having similar issues, give us a call, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-95926. There it goes again, dead gummit. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.

I'm excited about our next guest, Trail Life USA. I was a part of Trail Life USA before Trail Life USA was a thing, and we are huge fans of the great work they're doing. And by the way, TrailLifeUSA.com.

So, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, if you have a youngster and he is interested in a great scouting program, then you need to check out Trail Life USA. They have troops all over the country. And, of course, this is Scouting Anniversary Week. And I want to bring in the National Director of Marketing for Trail Life USA, Stephen Ashton. Stephen, good to have you with us today.

Thank you, Todd. Thrilled to be here. All right.

Well, let's talk about the great.

So this is anniversary week. How are things going for Trail Life? Boy, Todd, we are booming. Trail Life continues to grow. We crossed the fifty five thousand member threshold this year.

We have over one thousand one hundred troops in all fifty states. And it is just so exciting to see dad continuing to step up. and make a difference in the lives of boys across the country. I just love this, and this is about raising godly boys and producing those when those godly boys become godly young men and then responsible husbands and fathers and citizens. And ultimately, that's what you guys are in the business of doing.

That's right. Robert Baden-Powell said a long time ago, scouting is nothing less than applied Christianity. And we are seeking to help boys do that really well. And what better place to learn these things than in the outdoors, where we have to live with the Uh results of our of our choice. And I have to imagine that this is the, again, a huge anniversary for you guys.

You guys were birthed out of all that chaos with the scout, you know, with the Boy Scouts. And what I found interesting is about the membership and the enrollment is that most of the people who are associated with Trail Life never were involved in scouting.

So you're really reaching a whole new demographic of young people out there. You know, we really are, Todd. When things began, we had a lot of guys who were career scouts that came over and said, hey, we really want to be part of something different. We see a shifting culture. And instead of standing against that shifting culture, scouting, we feel like is starting to compromise on some of the things that we really, really feel are important.

And so we did have this great influx in the beginning of these men who were just stalwart and still are. Those guys are still around, and they play a tremendous role in organization. But increasingly, we are seeing churches who've never had a scouting program See what's happening in trail life, and they're seeing men who are coming in and getting engaged and finding their place in the life of the church. In a way that they never have. They're finding a significant ministry, a significant place where they can step up as a dad or a dad-like, and really make a difference in the life of a boy.

And that is.

So exciting to see. Yeah, look, the thing, and I get it, every single thing you said, I'm amen, preach it. But let's get real for a second, Stephen. We know that for the boys, the first thing on their mind is the adventure aspect of this, right? And that's just the nature of being a boy.

You want to get out there? Are you going to be climbing mountains? Are you going to be in the water doing water sports? And you guys do all of that. We do.

Trail Life is a place where a boy can be a boy, and it's a safe place for him to be a boy. He doesn't need to worry about. getting any kind of sideward glance for crawling through the mud or saying some kind of ludicrous idea that someone would wonder what in the world's going on in that kid's head. We understand that boys are wild and rambunctious and that we don't see that as a liability. We set it as an asset.

We think that kind of exuberance and zest is what is the reason that we went to the moon. We believe that's the reason that well, let's face it, it wasn't the women who came across the country and settled America that wanted to go west in covered wagons. It was those men with these wild ideas and these new things they wanted to see happen. And as we give space for that, Boyd's grow to become the kind of men who do those kinds of things. I love this.

And Steven, where can people go if they want to get information about how they can get their son involved in trail life? TrailLifeusa.com. We have two buttons right there on our website. One says Starter Troop. And the other says find a troop.

And Todd, one of the things we really want to see happen is we believe there should be a trail life troop in every community across the country. And so we really would love to see parents not just say, I want to sign my kid up. But I want to see this kind of thing happening in my community, and I want to go To my church, I want to talk to my pastor. And Todd, we've got folks around the country who are willing to go alongside these parents who have this kind of bold vision about having this kind of thing in their community. And help start it right there.

So, trailifeusa.com. Click that start a true button and figure out how to begin the adventure right there in your community. I love it. Stephen Ashton, everybody, from Trail Life USA, and be sure to check him out on all their socials. Your son's going to have a great time.

Not only is he going to have an incredible experience in the wilderness, but he's also going to get a great spiritual application and education as well. I love this. Stephen, we love you guys. You're doing great work, and we'll get you back on soon. Thank you, Todd.

We love you as well. We appreciate it. All right.

Stephen Ashton, everybody. All right, I want you. We're going to go to the phones here in a second. Patty was onto something, apparently. Uh and I don't know what it is, but we're gonna find out.

Before I do that, before we go to the phones, I want you guys to listen up real closely here.

Now You hear us talking about a lot of businesses on this program, and the reason we do that is they pay our bills. We have a lot of great sponsors, and we love them because they're supporting talk radio, and they're supporting the ideas that we talk about here, and we just think that's awesome. I want to share something with you, and I want you to grab something and write this down. Because Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and I am telling you, we have the best, the best chocolate shop right here in Memphis, Tennessee, and they ship all over America. I mean, all over America.

I'm talking about our friends at Dingstel's Chocolates, and I'm going to spell that for you: D-I-N-S-T-U-H-L. That's D-I-N-S-T-U-H-L. This is a family-owned chocolate shop, and they've got stores all over Memphis, and they have been in business in this city for over a hundred years, and they ship all over America. And yeah, you know, some people have Sherry's berries, which are very good. They don't hold a cherry.

I'm just telling you, their stuff is unbelievable.

So here's the deal. They're going to be shipping chocolate-covered strawberries as well as any other candies. They're going to be able to ship those as late as Tuesday night with FedEx priority. Because keep in mind, guess what is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee? It's FedEx.

So, if you want me to be there on Valentine's Day, all I have to do is put me in a box and boom, I'm there. Thanks to FedEx. Anyway, no, I'm not doing that, though. But you can have the next best thing, which is a chocolate-dipped strawberry. These things are amazing.

So, go to dingstals.com. That's D-I-N-S-T-U-H-L-S.com, Dingstals.com, and be sure to. Be sure to get yourself some wonderful Valentine's candy for your loved one or for yourself. I would recommend the Turtlettes or the chocolate covered cherries. They're delicious.

But again, dingitals.com. Grace will put that link on our website or in the live show blog. And be sure to tell them that you heard about it. You heard about Dingitals on the Todd Stern show.

So we're really excited about that. All right, let's go to the phone lines. I want to go to. Susan in Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM.

So, Susan, what's going on? Are you hearing the radio cut out as well? I am, only I I don't get static, I just get a dead radio. It's like somebody unplugged you.

Well, you see, we are on so here's how it works. We send our national show up to a satellite, and then the satellite distributes it to radio stations all over America. And so I'm wondering if there's I mean, we heard Patty was telling us that it was it was happening whenever we were talking about the Tucker Carlson thing. And I don't recall what you were talking about, but even the news was out. That's interesting.

All right.

Well, Susan, I by the way, before we let you go, Susan, we're bragging about Dingitals because they're great partners now. And have you been to the have you been over to Dingitals? I guess. I'm a regular customer. You are.

Tell me about that. Isn't it good? Am I exaggerating here? No, you're not at all. I'll tell you a favorite of mine and my husband is the Cashew Crunch.

It's like crank cocaine, Susan. I tell you what, the serial is called Cashew Crunch, and I don't know what they put on that, but you can't stop eating it. It's like Pringles. If you taste a bite of it, you're going to continue to eat it. It's true.

It's true. So, and so we're so excited.

So, if you go back over there, Susan, tell them that you love the Todd Stern Show and thank them for being a part of what we do here. Oh, I sure will. All right, Susan, thanks for the intel. This is very strange, everybody. Patty may be on something after all.

I. I thought, you know, I thought about it. She said she was doing the house cleaning, and I thought maybe it was the vacuum, you know, because it makes a noise, but that's not it at all. Let's go to Cynthia. WSIC in North Carolina.

All right, Cynthia. Did you hear it as well? It went totally dead, came back after a few minutes. And then it went dead again. I actually went to a different radio thinking, oh, great, my radio's broken.

Uh-oh, same thing.

Okay. All right.

We're going to look into this. And y you just never know. I mean, it's. I mean that's just very odd. But Patty says this was happening whenever we were talking about Tucker Carlson.

So that yeah. I don't know. There's something weird there. Cynthia. Appreciate the intel.

All right.

Oh, we got to take a break. We are super late. Again, Dingitals, D-I-N-S-T-U-H-L. Denstallswithan S dot com and get yourself some delicious, delicious Valentine's Day candy courtesy of the Todd Stern Show. All right, we'll be right back, folks.

All right, welcome back. Welcome back, everybody, to the Todd Searns Radio Show. All right, oh, here we go. I want to give you a number. And so, if you want to order, I am telling you, folks, I'm just going to say this.

If you're trying to woo someone, Or if you're a If you're a husband and maybe you forgot to take the trash out and you're kind of in the donkhouse, you need to call Dingitals and they're going to get you hooked up. And we do have a phone number. Our awesome sales team just reached out here. I want you to write down the number, 1-800-355-0358. That's 1-800-355-0358.

And they're going to be able to get your order out before Valentine's Day. And they're going to be doing FedEx priority overnight shipping. I think there's a FedEx plane light parked right outside of Dingitals. And they're throwing the stuff on the plane and getting it out.

So be sure to do that. I am telling you, folks, it is the best chocolate in America. You're going to love this place. And if you don't like chocolate, they have something called Cashew Crunch, and it is like cracked cocaine.

Okay, I'm a Baptist. It's like Pringles, right? You can't just stop eating it.

So it's good stuff. We always get the every Thanksgiving, except for this past Thanksgiving, they ran out. We always got the chocolate turkey. And then we would have the cutting. It's a giant turkey made out of chocolate.

It's pretty darn good.

So again, that number, if you want to call Denstels and say you heard about it on the Todd Stearns radio show, 1-800-355-0358. That's 1-800-355-0358. And you are. You're going to be thanking me. You're going to call Todd.

Thank you. Thank you. And I'm going to say it was my pleasure. All right, let's go to Sherry, WTUN in Georgia. Hi, Sherry.

How are you today? I'm blessed in the Holy Spirit, Lord. How about you? Woo! Amen, sister.

I love that. I'm better than I deserve. That's Dave Ramsey. I stole it. Yeah, I know.

I'll listen to him please sometimes. Um, we didn't have a cutout. I mean, I heard everything said. The whole time, and then they're listening, and nothing ever happened here. Maybe this was the area.

You know what it could have been? There could have been some sort of an interference, you know, with the solar flares and all that kind of stuff. Or it could be somebody over in Ukraine that's listening to Kate, you know, listening to the Todd Starns radio show. I don't know. Oh, yeah.

That'd be good if they did. Oh, it would be. We should get some callers from you. Trust me. Sherry, I have a hard time understanding some of our fellow Southerners when they call in.

Oh, really? You can tell I'm southern, huh? But I'm a fast officier. I love it. I love it.

It's funny, though. I love the acc you know, it's funny when I'm, you know, when I'm up in Maine, I just tell people, I love y'all's accent. And they're like, our accent, we don't have an accent. You've got an accent. But the folks in Maine have a really good accent.

Yeah, I I love like a European or Australian accent. Even somebody like from Jamaica or somewhere, their accent, I love those accents. I love it. I love some yeah, Alabama, they've got a pretty good accent, but there's some folks over in East Tennessee, way up in the mountains. I can't understand some of those folks.

I got a funny story for you if you got a specking.

Okay, when you first put that book out, Twilight's Left Leaning, I thought you said Twilight's Left Leaning. I looked for that book everywhere and I finally just went on your site and I said, Oh, God. I thought, okay, idiot. I'm going to have to do a better job of that. My apologies, Sherry.

It's gleaming. It was my fault. All right, Sherry. Good talking to you. Hang tight, everybody.

We got to take a quick break here. We're just getting started, we're having a good time. In the break, call Dinstals. Give them a call. You're going to thank me for this.

And they're good people, and they love us, and we love them. 1-800-355-0358. That's 1-800-355-0358. Give them a call. And folks, we'll be right back.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. That's us! That's right. I love this American. Todd starts.

Oh, yeah. Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to hour three of the big show. Good to have you with us today. Caught me off guard a little bit.

Jeez, hello, my abolish. All right.

Wow. So a lot happening. And first of all, the great news coming out of the Supreme Court today. And I'm just telling you that. It's going to be a good verdict for Donald Trump.

At the very least, 6'3, that's what I'm going with. But it could be more than that.

Now, the diversity hire on the Supreme Court, Justice Jackson, she's probably going to be a wackadoodle. But the others, I think, based on the questions that were asked and the responses, it's pretty clear that Trump is going to have a big day at the Supreme Court. Even the New York Times. Acknowledging that this is all a load of hooey. That seriously.

So when you got the New York Times out there saying that, okay, yeah, it's not going to be good for the left. It's not.

So, we're going to be taking your calls this hour of the program. We have some great guests coming up as well. We have a brand new, a brand new voice on the program. She is a congresswoman from Indiana, Erin Hoken, and we're going to be talking with her. And then for the Newsmax TV show, very excited to welcome Sean Casey and Bruce Elliott are going to be with us.

So, great American Patriots, WCBM, the host of the great radio station there in Baltimore. All right.

Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. Want to go to Texas, and Bobo is hanging out with us today, wants to weigh in on the future of the country. Bobo, welcome to the program. What's on your mind? Hey, thank you, Todd.

Um I'm just We discussed it about the people that live in the United States saying they're American, And it doesn't It doesn't show that. And It's just outrageous. You know, Hawaii just blocked. uh non US citizens to buy land. Over there.

So that's awesome. But anyway, it's tax time. And since this administration has so much money, Why don't they pick up the tab? Of our taxes, the that people owe this year. And My grandma used to say, you know, sometimes you gotta take your own medicine.

And that's what we need to give them.

So That It's almost too late to do anything right now. We need to get our troops back in our country.

So bring the troops back home, put 'em along that border and protect our backside. It's going to be Inside and out is where we meet everybody. Bobo, it's look, it's a good thought. Appreciate you calling in, and thank you for watching Newsmax. And by the way, we do want to welcome all of our Newsmax viewers.

We simulcast the last hour of the national radio show, and so we're always happy to have you find folks with us. One of the things that I find fascinating is Is the shift. We are watching an absolute shift in this nation right now when it comes to minority voters. And that is being recognized in a lot of the polling data that's out there. Also, we had Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut talking about the people they care most about.

We're talking about the Democrats. The people Democrats care most about are the undocumented Americans. We call those people illegal aliens. And it's true. That's who they talk about.

Again, our telephone number is nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Nikki Haley, meanwhile, out there raising a lot of money. And she was reading the meme tweets yesterday, cut nine. Everybody hates you.

Really?

I think my husband loves me. I'm genuinely terrified of Nikki Haley. Any man who knows how vindictive, evil, Short-sighted. and psychotic women can be. This guy can't be married.

Coupled with a basic understanding, physiognomy. Takes a single look at Nikki Haley and is terrified. I genuinely believe her victory would spell the end of the free world. Dude, that's, I don't even know what to say about that. I don't know what to say about that.

That's crazy. Nikki Haley has a room temperature IQ. True or false. Wow. Yeah.

Nikki Birdbrain Haley. Is losing big polling caps in the polls against Crooked Joe. Where? I haven't seen him. I am beating him all over the place.

She is weak on the border. I passed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country. I'm the strongest border president ever.

Well then why did you let 3 million illegals come into the country under your watch? That's all you have to know. Exactly. Just when you think Nikki Haley can't get more annoying, the next day happens. May touch mine.

Woo! Well, there y you know her problem. And it's a rough problem for her to have. She's got no sense of humor, that one. She takes everything personally.

She's very thin-skinned, much like Boots DeSantis. Right? You got to be able to take a joke. You got to be able to laugh at yourself. That's what you have to do.

We were having a good time the other night. Mary Walter had me as her guest for her podcast, Mary Walter Radio. Go over to YouTube, you can watch it. We were having a lot of fun, a lot of laughter, and a lot of it was at my expense.

So that tells me that you've got a person like Nikki Healy. She is not comfortable in her own skin. You don't want somebody like that in the White House. Donald Trump, the guy's very comfortable. He is.

And that's why Trump is so effective. All right.

901-260-5926. I want to play this audio from Senator Roger Marshall out of Kansas. He was outside the Supreme Court building earlier today, cut number 12. And I just want to make it perfectly clear again why this is so important to people back home. They feel like this is yet another attack by Joe Biden on their constitutional rights.

This White House has locked us out of our churches and out of our synagogues. They've tried to take away our Second Amendment. They've censored our speech. And now the White House wants to knock out the leading candidate, the likely next President of the United States, from the ballots back home.

Now I'm not an attorney and there's a lot at stake here behind us, but really what's at stake is making sure that the American people get to elect the next President and not the Supreme Court. To people back home, this sounds like this is another political witch hunt, that this is another weaponization of the judiciary system by Joe Biden. But what's at risk for the future is if they would call this an insurrection, then why wouldn't we call 10 million people crossing the border illegally an insurrection? Why wouldn't we call the situation where you take away your freedoms of speech, your freedoms of religion, your freedoms to bear arms, why wouldn't we call that an insurrection as well? Look.

The people need to make this decision. We the people need to make the decision on who's going to be our next president.

Well, I would say what's happening at the border is not an insurrection.

Well, it is an insurrection on the part of the Biden administration because they are not only standing down, they're aiding and abetting the enemy crossing into the country.

So they not only is that an insurrection, that's what we call treason. They have some pretty stiff penalties for that, by the way. You should look it up. But what's happening on the other side of the border is what we call an invasion. And now, not only have we been invaded, but now we are being.

occupied and that's a big problem.

So again, our number, 901-260-5926. We're going to be taking your calls this hour of the program. President Trump feeling very good. We played some audio from him earlier today. The president heading out to Nevada for the caucus tonight.

That's going to be huge. It's going to be a great day for Team America. And by Team America, I mean President Trump. And you watch what's going to happen. The Supreme Court will not dilly-dally.

They're going to come out with the statement pretty quickly over today's hearing. And it's very clear to me, based upon my hearing of the testimony and the questions that were being asked. That the justices aren't buying what Colorado is smoking. Got to take a break. We'll be right back.

Mm. All right, welcome back to the Todd Starring's Radio Show. Good to have you with us today. Man, this has been a weird show, right? I can't put my finger on it, but it's just sort of weird today.

Let's go to California. Annette is hanging out with us on Newsmax 2. Hi, Annette. How are you today? I'm very well.

How are you? Annette, I'm doing well. It's just We're having a weird show today, Annette, and I can't put my finger on it, but it's uh it's it's kind of like Art Bell-ish, if anybody remembers the late, great Art Bell. Yeah.

I don't know, maybe that was before my time. Ha ha ha. Oh, wow. All right.

Well, it's an honor to have you with us, Annette. What's going on? What's on your mind? Well, let me just tell you. I live here in the It used to be the good old state of California.

I've also lived in the South. I'm a Wampanaga Quinna from Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Gay Head.

Okay. I'm wondering why. When I have to show I'm Native American Indian. Say, I need to go down to the welfare office because this one time happened to my daughter. I need a little help.

She had to show that she was Native American Indian her tribal card. Her birth certificate And people in there, they didn't have to show anything.

So here's my point. People coming over The border. Mexico failed on their job. They are not holding people. in their in their country.

So they're allowing all these people to go through. Texas. They don't have to show diddly diddly. and they're given welfare, medical, dental provision. How is it that Massachusetts also...

They're giving licenses because I looked it up. They're giving licenses. I have to show here, even in California, my birth certificate. where I live, a utility bill. How is it where we are just handing these people Three things.

When we, the Americans, Native American Indian, a black, a Jew, Whatever you are. We have to prove who we are, but nobody has to prove coming over from the border. Annette, you are preaching the sermon to America that needs to be preached. And I think it goes to the heart of honest to goodness, Annette, this idea of one set of rules governing American citizens and another set of rules governing the Democrats and their cohorts, their cronies. Yes, and and and it baffled me.

My son is. A marine, he's a wounded warrior. By the grace of God, he has his arms and legs. The wheelchair is in the brain at times. You know?

But Yeah. him to see all of this, what he fought for in Baghdad, Iraq, In Ba uh in Afghanistan. and all of our soldiers and our police officers This is a dishonor to all of them. A dish honor.

Okay? Not only that. How do we not protect our people? people. Our children.

It's a great question. Yeah, no, look, I hear you, and we're going to have to let you go. But, Annette, I think you made a great point, and give us a call back. It's look, folks, I think people are waking up, and I'm especially happy to see folks like Chicago South Side. folks in the Bronx and the Queen and and Queens in New York People are beginning to wake up, and many Democrat voters, and we have seen this, the polling data backs this up, that more blacks and Hispanics are leaving the Democrat Party and they're embracing Donald Trump because they realize that they all had jobs when Donald Trump was president.

They all had a great paycheck when Donald Trump was president, and that paycheck went a whole heck of a lot longer at the grocery store than it is with Joe Biden right now. Look, these are very basic things. Bill Clinton, back in the 1990s, when he was running against George H.W. Bush, what was the one thing that Bill Clinton said? It's the economy, stupid.

It's the economy. And it really is today. It's the economy stupid, and what's fascinating and brilliant about the Republicans here. Is that they've managed to tie the economy. to what's happening at the border.

when you have illegal aliens who are actually getting forty percent more in welfare stamp we call used to call them food stamps, they call it SNAP now. But when they're getting a forty percent larger government handout than the average American who might be in need, That's a problem. And people see through that. They do. All right.

Again, our telephone number is 901-260-5926. Let's go to Jerry in Wisconsin. Hi, Jerry. What say you? Hello, Jerry.

All right, we'll get back to Jerry. I want to talk about this story. From the New York Post, and the dateline is Atlanta, Georgia.

So they're having a big problem there. Squatters. Have you heard of this story? Squatters. These are people.

Let's say you go out on vacation and you come back, and there are people in your home.

Well They're called squatters. And it's a big problem in the Atlanta area. Over 1,200 homes have been taken over by squatters. This is according to the National Retail Home Council Trade Group. One person says, I'd be terrified in Atlanta to lease out one of my properties.

This guy, Matt Urbanski, manages a local home cleaning company. One of his employees was recently shot while trying to remove intruders from a property. And the problem is evicting squatters. It's tough. It involves negotiating a court backlog and police.

And it's a big problem. In Atlanta. In October, an Atlanta neighborhood found itself at the center of a scandal involving squatters who transformed a house into an illegal strip club. They had weekend parties, people running around buck naked, looked like a National Geographic special. They said they even had live horses on the property.

Well, I wonder if they rode bareback. The drama unfolded in the South Fulton area. Four people took up residence without permission. Little did the neighbors know the 4,000 square by the way, these are beautiful homes. The 4,000 square foot five bedroom home, three bathrooms, became a den of illicit activity.

Doin' things that would make the Pentecostals blush. The squatters ran a clandestine strip club, held noisy parties, even organized car races in the streets. One neighbor told television station WSB they would get the live horses. One day they had live horses. Geezaloo.

Eventually squatting. Had to be summoned, and they cleaned out the house. There were covered two stolen cars. A stolen weapon and stolen credit cards. One neighbor said they're afraid to go on vacation.

because if squatters find out their home was vacant they just move right in. One neighbor said, Is this even in America anymore? We're homeowners, and we can't do anything about the trespassers.

Well, certainly they could. Why not just um make sure you have a legally acquired firearm? And when you come back from your vacation and you find people living in your home, you politely escort them out. At the business end of a rifle. In one incident, U.S.

Army Lieutenant Colonel Dahlia Daray discovered a convicted criminal squatting in her house. She returned to find the squatter living in her half a million dollar home while she was away on active duty. And they're saying there's nothing they can do about it. Is that true, ladies and gentlemen? What say you?

Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Sturge. Listen up. I won't sugarcoat it. This is the longest cold flu and allergy season we've ever seen, but we're not alone. We've got Instacart.

Sure, you may be a coffee snot faucet who just wants mommy, but you're not giving up! Not when cold medicine, fragrant herbal teas, and honey shaped like bears can be delivered through Instacart in as fast as 30 minutes.

Now let's go win the sick playoffs! Daddy, I just want my soup. Oh, sorry, Sport App says it'll be here in a few minutes. Instacart for the win. All right, welcome back.

I have got to stop this. Can I just tell you what happened to me over the weekend? This is terrible. Um My iPhone started acting up. And normally I'm pretty good at figuring out when there's an issue with the iPhone or the but I could not figure this out.

So I had to go down to the Apple store last night after the show. And it took them almost an hour to figure it out. But now the problem they had to reset my phone. And so, Dylan, during the commercial break, I've been having to like, you know, do the face recognition again. And it's like I'm having to start from scratch, and it's driving me nuts.

So, anyway, that's actually no excuse, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just trying to explain what's happened. Life happens every now and again.

Well, I told you that we had a very exciting guest and a new member of the Todd Stearns radio show family. She represents the 9th Congressional District there in the beautiful state of Indiana. Her name is Erin Hochin, and she is a Congresswoman. We welcome you to the show, Erin. Hope you're doing well today.

Thank you, Todd. I am honored to be part of your program. It's wonderful to spend some time with you today.

Well, likewise. And I wasn't going to, you know, I thought maybe she would have some advice on the iPhone, but I'm just going to let the professionals at Apple help me out there. I got kids, but they're not that helpful on the tech front to me.

So I can't imagine I can lend them to you either on that front.

Well, fair enough. Let's start with this pretty incredible op-ed that you wrote. Many people reading this in the Washington Times, and it's making a lot of buzz around Washington, D.C. Protecting female athletes should not be controversial. And I completely agree with that, and yet it is.

Yes, I mean, and I'm a m I'm a parent of two daughters. They were swimmers, and so you know, when people like Riley Gaines were speaking out, I was very grateful for her and others that have spoken out on this issue. It shouldn't be controversial. Men and women are different. They have physical and biological differences.

That we have Title IX for a reason, and it isn't to protect transgender athletes, it's to protect women. And we have seen a degradation of that. And on Women and Sport Girls in Sports Day, we should be celebrating their achievements of biologically female athletes. And Todd, it's almost incredible that we have to even say that in today's society. Women have come so far, and this is really threatening to take us back.

Congresswoman Aaron Houchin is on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today, and you're right about that. We had Congressman Greg Stuby on yesterday from Florida, and he and Senator Tuberville are sponsoring this legislation that would actually ban men from competing on the U.S. Olympic team, which is something that is under the purview of Congress. Did you ever imagine a time? In history, when we would be fighting this particular battle here in the United States.

Absolutely not. I mean, I'm certainly proud to join Congressman Stuby in being part of that legislation and joining that as a co sponsor. But I had no Idea that coming to Congress we'd be dealing with these issues. We really shouldn't have to be. there's a real competitive balance issue at stake, but also safety and security.

We heard from Paula Scanlon, the UPEN swimmer, who shared a locker room with Leah Thomas, who still has all of the male genitalia. Um Nightmare stories of lost opportunities. I really thought. That we were way beyond this, and we have taken a huge step backward with this movement to include biological men in women's activities that they have no business being part of. And I really appreciate it.

You go through this, and it's a terrific essay, folks. You've got to read this on the Washington Times. We have a direct link to it on our live show blog. But you also point out, Congresswoman, that this is also an issue of safety as well. And a number of young ladies have actually been injured by these men on the playing field.

Yes, we've seen field hockey players injured. We had a field hockey player in Massachusetts that took a ball to the face by a male student, an athlete in North Carolina that suffered head and neck injuries due to a volleyball being spiked in her face by a male athlete. And then Hannah Ahrensman, who was a cyclist that was forced to quit cycling after a transgender athlete attempted to push her off of a trail.

So this is not this is not only a competitive advantage that these men have, these biological men have, over these female athletes. It is a safety issue and security issue for them, absolutely. And it's not being paid attention to. I hope that the op ed will draw more attention to that because it's a real concern. I'm curious to get your take on yesterday on Capitol Hill.

There's been a lot of frustration over the past couple of days surrounding Alejandro Majorkis, and of course the failed vote there. We understand that's going to be brought up again next week, possibly. What did the Republican? What's going on there when the Republican caucus is? Is there chaos?

Yeah, what's going on here?

Well, we have a very we have a very diverse conference. We are not monolithic. And when we have such a slim majority, you could expect that those differences might be brought to the forefront. But the Majorcas impeachment, vote that failed on the floor. We brought it under a suspension of the rules, which meant that we had to have, I think, two hundred and ninety votes to pass it.

I think it had something like two hundred and forty votes. But thirteen Republicans voted against that legislation. That's being pinned on us because, yes, we are in the majority, but many, many Democrats voted against that too. And if you've been to the southern border like me, I've been twice, and you look at what's happening down there, and it is a crisis, and we should be doing this. And Maorkas has been not only asleep at the wheel, but willfully defying current law, which requires detention of folks crossing the border.

And it's catch and release all over the country. He has failed in his responsibilities. He should be impeached for not upholding his oath. to the Constitution and the mission of the Department of Homeland Security.

So yes, Republicans voted against this, but in far greater number, Democrats opposed it. And that's unconscionable given the circumstances at the border. But we will be bringing it back next week. Good, good. I'm glad to hear that.

With the election coming up, it's just so imperative that we all get on the same page. And I'm with you. I mean, we're not this monolithic party. At the same time, I think we all have to agree on the fundamentals. And that's where I think a lot of people are just concerned: that we're all on the same page, and everybody is focused on the most important thing, which is defeating Joe Biden and making sure the Republicans maintain control of the House and gain control of the Senate.

Yes, and one thing that's really interesting is Joe Biden and the Democrats have done nothing on the border for three years. And now suddenly, they are pushing forward with really this border legislation that does nothing but codify Biden's bad policies. It just codifies letting people into the country in mass quantities.

So it's a terrible bill that, quite frankly, the Democrats think it's going to take the issue off the table from an election perspective. But that's a non-starter in the Republican-held House of Representatives because we know better than what they have done. It's like kind of like back to the Fiscal Responsibility Act that the Democrats passed. The name is fiscal responsibility, but that was fiscally irresponsible in every way.

So we have a similar situation going on with the border bill and the Majorcas impeachment. They should be as responsible as us. You know, our few members who voted against the bill because they wanted to have it paid for, or the Mayorka's impeachment. I'm sorry. I'm getting my wires crossed.

I was on Israel. But we had some people who just won't vote for the Mayorkas impeachment. I think we'll get it. We will get that, I think, next week when we have most of our members back. But it's a one-seat majority, so it's going to be with some of our absences.

We may just have it by one vote. And that's a dicey situation. We're looking at some pretty fascinating headlines coming out about the Democrats and their traditional base of support, which are minority voters, blacks, Hispanics, now at an all-time low. When you look at the new polling data, that's coming from Gallup. Are you seeing that in your district?

And if so, what do the Republicans need to do to bring that message to those minority communities? Yeah, I think we need to keep speaking to them. And the Democrat Party has had a switch. It's more of an elitist party than I think we've ever seen in history, and the Republican Party is. Is more of a populist party and more of a party of the people.

And I think that's what these minority groups are probably seeing. They're not seeing anything that is coming out of the Democrat Party that they can support or believe in. I mean, the Democrat Party is focused on these transgender issues and woke culture that, quite frankly, no one on the conservative side and certainly the areas of the country that that are gaining steam for the Republican Party, they just don't support that anymore or ever. And with the places in New York City, we've seen blue districts turn red. We've got a An election coming up, a special election next week in New York.

And Mazzi Pilip, the Ethiopian-born Israeli Defense Force, just rock star up there in New York, taking on Swazi, and I think we'll see her have success in the special election in traditionally blue area. Good stuff. All right, we're going to have to leave it there. Great job, First. We'd love to get you back sometime to talk about the big uses of the day.

Thank you. All right, Congresswoman Erin Houchin, ladies and gentlemen from Indiana, joining us on the radio show as well as our Newsmax simulcast today. All right, we are going to attempt. Before we even go to a break, though, we were getting some messages from people. They were like, Todd, who is that family-owned coffee or chocolate shop you were talking about?

And I want to pass along that information again. Again, this is the Dinstels. And I'm telling you, folks, I know people love the Sherry's Berries. You try Dinstals, and you're going to be speaking in tongues. It really is.

It's the best chocolate. And it's a family-owned place here in Memphis. They've been around for over 100 years called Dinstels. And that's D-I-N-S-T-U-H-L-S DINGSTALLS.com. Or you can give them a call, 1-800-355-0358.

That's 1-800-355-0358. And I'm telling you, if you love chocolate, order whatever you want on the chocolate side. If you don't like chocolate, you've got to. Get that cashew crunch. It's going to blow your mind.

But again, they're great friends of the program and wanted to pass along that information. All right, stick around, everybody. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody, to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Hope you're doing well.

This so frustrated me about this stupid iPhone. It's just. I feel like, Dylan, that I just feel like when you lose your phone and there's that feeling you have of like. I wouldn't call it despair. I think for me it was relief.

But I'm getting all these messages now from people. I don't know who they are. Oh, you lost your contacts? Yes, but they're coming back now.

Okay. But the problem was, I was going out. You know, I'm trying to walk and lose weight down at Shelby Farms, and I tried to play the music, and the music wouldn't play. But apparently I had like 78 gigs whatever of a podcast, so I had to delete the podcast. That seemed to have worked, but then they had to reset the whole phone.

Goodness. I should have got yes, I I know it's crazy. It's personalized. It's hard when you lose all that. It is.

It's yes. Yes, it is. All right.

Let's go to the phones. John in Kentucky wants to weigh in on these squatters. John, help can you help the good people of Atlanta out here? Mr. Starns, first of all, God bless you.

Just shoot your iPhone. Jeez, hello. That's a little violent. No, then it'll start working better. As far as concerning You know what the Castle Doctrine is, right?

I am familiar with the Castle Doctrine.

Okay, well, what they do is that some like that lieutenant colonel comes home from serving your country, getting shot at, probably getting blown up. And somebody comes into her house And tries to take over her house. They're invading your house.

Well, that's criminal.

So therefore If you have castle doctrine, you're allowed to defend your homes.

Well, therefore, you're allowed to take up arms, and like you said, Wow.

Well, look, I have no problem with that. I mean, if you're here's what I don't get is why are these people not fighting for their homes? I mean, you come back from Disney World and you've got an illegal alien family living in your house, you kick them out, you physically remove them from the property. I mean, it really is that simple.

Well, I just thought I'd bring that up. You come into my home, I'm going to shoot you.

Well, I'm not allowed to say that on the air, so make sure I didn't say that, blank that outside. Also, I do know how to fix your iPhone. It's amazing. Like, if you take it to a firing range or you threaten to throw it down, for some reason, they miraculously start working. Great show, Todd.

Love you, brother.

Well, thank you, John. I appreciate that. Keep things going good in the Commonwealth here. Oh, have you heard about this story? Dylan, I'm curious.

I know you're getting married. We're very excited. And have you guys set a date for the wedding yet? Yes, September 28th.

Okay, this is wow, that's just right around the corner. I know. All right.

Very good. I know you're in love. But there are some people who apparently are not. And they're having a rough go of it.

So, anyway, the San Antonio Zoo is offering a special Valentine's Day greeting for exes. Who just won't bug off. I'm curious. For $10, the zoo's going to name a cockroach after your ex. Oh, perfect.

And then they're going to feed the cockroach to an animal. Does the X get a video of this? Got to. It's called the Crimea Cockroach Fundraiser. And this is brilliant.

So they're using this to raise money. They're using your pain and suffering and anger and hatred. For the good. I like this. I think this is a great idea.

Anyway, if you don't like bugs, you can always name your ex after a vegetable. Ha ha ha. What is it, Rutabega?

Well, there's Carol. She's a Rutabega. Feed her to the Aardvark or something. I don't know. Those with an especially stubborn X can pay $150 for an upgrade.

Oh, here we go. This is great. Um according to this. For $150, you see what it is? My phone, now it's it I used to have it on silent and now it's ringing.

This is driving me nuts. I've got to put it over here. Anyway, for a $150 upgrade, you're going to get a personalized video message. To your ex. And so, and in that video, they're going to show the cockroach.

Or though you can also have a you can also buy a rat. And they're going to show the video of York of the cockroach or the rat being eaten by an animal. I think for that much money I would Think that you would get the rat. The cockroach I wouldn't pay a hundred and fifty bucks for. The rat, yeah.

Like a big eagle. This is fascinating. They even track the names. Like, you know, so you've got an X, and apparently, this is something that the women love to do. It's like an emotional thing for them, for the gals.

They raised last year they had over 8,000 donations. That's a lot of hatred out there. All 50 states in more than 30 different countries, but the top three names for X's. Zack, Ray, and Adam. The most common names ever.

The most exactly. That's a lot of heartbreak. Wow. So you can just go to the San Antonio Zoo website. By the way, the Bronx Zoo allows you to name a cockroach after your ex, so that's good.

There you go. So ladies and gentlemen, There you have it. A lot of hatred out there across this great country.

Well, folks, that's going to wrap things up today. It's been a lot of fun. We're going to continue the conversation over on the TV. That's right, Newsmax 2.
