America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd starts. All right, so.

I have a very simple question for you, ladies and gentlemen. By the way, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

So happy to have you with us today.

So here's the question. There are many, many women across the fruited plain. Who have made the decision that they wanted to stay home? They believed that their place was in the home to be a homemaker, to be a domestic goddess, if you will, to raise the children, to tend to the affairs of the house. And for generations, by the way, that was traditionally what women did.

I think into the post-World War II era in America, you had women, more women going into the workplace, and then you had the whole feminist movement of the late 60s, early 70s. And now it's a free-for-all where, in many cases, you don't have anybody at home. Nobody's raising the kids. Nobody's cooking the meals. Nobody's doing the laundry.

So I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this because Harrison Buchtger, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, this young man in his late 20s, and he has caused a national uproar. There's just vast outrage over a commencement address he delivered at a small private Catholic school in Kansas. And he touched on a lot of the hot button issues for these graduates. And this was not a mean spirited address. This was not delivered in anger or it wasn't delivered with a mocking tone.

The young man simply shared his beliefs. And now he's catching holy you know what for this. And Harrison Butker in his commencement address suggested that being a homemaker is a vocation. Just like being the female president of a major corporation. And he said that is something that is noble.

And that is something.

Well, you know what? We're just going to play it for you so you can hear what Harris Butker had to say about young ladies. Cut number two. Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 2024, you are sitting at the edge of the rest of your lives. Each of you has the potential to leave a legacy that transcends yourselves and this era of human existence.

In the small ways by living out your vocation, you will ensure that God's church continues and the world is enlightened by your example. For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?

Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabel would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I'm on this stage today enabled to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I am beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me. But it cannot be overstated.

that all of my success is made possible. Because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith Become my wife. and embrace one of the most important titles of all. Hallmaker.

Now, I don't know about you, but I heard a young man I think he's 28 years old. I heard the voice of a young man who loves, deeply loves and honors and admires. His wife. And ladies, I think that is a great thing. Gentlemen, I think that you would want to aspire to love your wife like Harrison But Butker loves his wife.

It's it's beautiful. Did you have a problem with anything this young man said? And do you believe that being a homemaker is a vocation, just like going and being a secretary or being the executive of a company?

So all you know what is breaking loose, and it's not just because of that. I mean, he went all in here. He went all in. As a matter of fact, he even talked about President Biden, cut number four. Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues.

Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder. Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I'm sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice. He is not alone. From the man behind the COVID Lockdowns, to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common.

They are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn't cut it. These are the sorts of things we are told in polite society to now bring up. You know, the difficult and unpleasant things. But if we are going to be men and women for this time in history, We need to stop pretending that the Church of Nice is a winning proposition.

We must always speak and act in charity, but never mistake charity for cowardice. It is safe to say that over the past few years, I have gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind. I never envisioned myself nor wanted to have this sort of a platform, but God has given it to me, so I have no other choice but to embrace it. and preach more hard truths about accepting your lane and staying in it.

Well, that sounds like some pretty darn good advice and a pretty good observation of Catholic, so-called Catholic Joe Biden by an actual practicing Catholic. And then there's one more piece of audio here I want you to listen to because he also had some advice for young men. And I think this may have been what actually sent everyone over the edge. Cut number five. It is only in the past few years that I have grown encouraged to speak more boldly and directly because, as I mentioned earlier, I have leaned into my vocation as a husband and father.

and as a man. To the gentlemen here today, part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you: that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture. and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation.

Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the U.S., and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates as well. Be unapologetic in your masculinity. fighting against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy.

You might have a talent that you don't necessarily enjoy, but if it glorifies God, maybe you should lean into that over something that you might think suits you better. I speak from experience as an introvert who now finds myself as an amateur public speaker and an entrepreneur.

something I never thought I'd be when I received my industrial engineering degree. The road ahead is bright. Things are changing, society is shifting, and people, young and old, are embracing tradition. Not only has it been my vocation that has helped me and those closest to me, but not surprising to many of you should be my outspoken embrace of the traditional Latin Mass. I've been very vocal in my love and devotion to the TLM and its necessity for our lives.

But what I think gets misunderstood is that people who attend the TLM do so out of pride or preference. I can speak to my own experience, but for most people I have come across within these communities, this simply is not true. I do not attend the TLM because I think I am better than others, or for the smells and bells, or even for the love of Latin. I attend the TLM because I believe just as the God of the Old Testament was pretty particular in how he wanted to be worshipped, the same holds true for us today. It is through the TLM that I encountered order and began to pursue it in my own life.

And there you go. That is, Harris and Butners or Butkers. Christian worldview. All summed up here in the first few moments of this program. And as a result of this, Harrison is now facing A seething mob.

As a matter of fact, the NFL came out and issued a statement condemning Harrison, and they said that they don't share those values. The NFL says they're all about inclusion. But clearly, inclusion doesn't include people who are pro-life or pro-family or pro-Christian or pro-Catholic. Those people are clearly not representative of the NFL's. value system.

As a matter of fact, the NFL's Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer went on to say that they value inclusion more than anything else.

Well, if that's the case, I have a simple question for the NFL. Where are all of the female linebackers? And where are all of the female quarterbacks? Where are they? Where are all of your transgender players, Nf L?

By the way, the NFL also hates America. Just a reminder, just one of the things, I know we've sort of forgotten the whole take-and-ee thing. I know that. But but they've never really repented for all of that. But I want to go back to Harris and Butker because they're the the entire city of Kansas City.

So Kansas City City Hall. They actually posted a tweet doxing this young man's information. It was deleted. And then they apologize this morning, but it's already out there. In other words, they want the mob to show up at.

This guy's house. There is a petition over a hundred thousand people over a hundred thousand people have signed a petition calling for this man to be fired for what you just heard him say One of the people writing on this petition said the comments are harmful. They're unacceptable. His comments are sexist, homophobic, anti-trans, anti-abortion, and racist. These dehumanizing remarks against gay people, attacks on abortion rights and racial discrimination perpetuate division and undermine human rights.

Where did the guy say anything about race? Oh, he's white, I got it, never mind. These comments reinforce harmful stereotypes that threaten social progress. They create a toxic environment. It's unacceptable for such a public here we go.

It's unacceptable for such a public figure to use their platform to foster harm rather than unity. We demand accountability from our sports figures. Who should be role models promoting respect for all peoples regardless of their race, gender, identity, or sexual orientation? We call upon the Kansas City Chiefs to dismiss Harrison Butker immediately. For his inappropriate content or conduct.

Now let me say something here. Kansas City Chiefs. They're owned by Christians. Devout Christians. And it's time for the devout Christian owners of the Kansas City Chiefs to come out.

and make a statement and defend Harrison. Why are they silent? Why does this twenty eight year old young man have to stand out here and face the mob all by himself? But I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, you just heard what this young man had to say. Do you do you find anything repulsive or offensive by what Harrison Butger delivered to those graduates at Benedictine College?

So, our telephone number 901-260-5926, that's 901-260-5926. And I want to break this down. I'm curious, especially with you ladies out there, do you consider homemaking to be a vocation? Got to take a break. We'll be right back.

You might have heard Mike Lindella MyPellow no longer have the support of their box stores or shopping channels the way they used to. They've been part of the cancel culture, so they want to pass the savings directly to you by having a $25 extravaganza. When Mike started MyPellow, it was just a one-product company. With the help of his dedicated employees, they now have hundreds of products, some you may not even know about.

Good to have you with us today. And again, I will say this about Harrison Butker. It seems to me you would want somebody like that in the NFL. I mean, look at all of the NFL players out there, and there have been many who've been smacking around their women, beating the women, raping, assaulting women. Committing all sorts of mayhem, and those guys are okay, right?

The NFL is okay with that kind of behavior. But heaven forbid an NFL player gets out there. And we saw this with Tim Thibault. Remember that years ago when Teebow would take an eat of prey and all you know what broke loose. You had all of the woke sports reporters, everybody going after going after Thibault.

It made no sense to me. But I'm telling you, it just seems to me that Harrison Buckner is onto something here. And I do wonder if these younger generation Zers. Are finally coming to terms, and they're seeing the reality of what happens when you have an anything-goes immoral society. Right?

I mean, there was a time, and just ask, just ask yourself this question. And I want you to be very careful with how you interpret what I'm about to say. But is it really necessary? For families to make a half a million six hundred thousand dollars a year. Live in a beautiful Eight, nine-bedroom home.

Have all the memberships to the country clubs. Or is it, or were you better off? Was America better off when you had, instead of two people working, you had A father that was out there. Working in the workforce, and you had a mom staying at home and raising the family. And tending to the home.

Were we better off then or are we better off now?

Now Some people say that that's a sexist question that I just asked, but I don't believe it is. I mean, when you go back through the history of the family, and you have to for you to do that, you have to go back to the biblical days, and you have to read the Bible, and the teachings of the Bible are pretty clear. And most families that follow the teachings of the Bible when it comes to roles and responsibilities within the household, guess what happens? Those families tend more often than not to turn out okay.

However, and again, there are I get it, there are single family homes out there, and you can do the best you can do. And I'm not saying this is this is the way it is. It doesn't have to be. But I am saying that if you're a family and you're making good money as the head of the household, gentlemen. Then why do you need your wife working in the workforce?

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. All right, moving on then. I want to play some audio here. Big trouble.

And all right, let's go to the phone. All right, let's. Yeah.

Okay. Hang tight. We will get back to that in just a moment. But uh I want to go to the um Some audio here. This is from the University of Michigan.

And man, do they have a big problem out there? I'm going to set this up. We'll play the audio on the other side of the brake here.

So the University of Michigan, they have regents, and these are the people that make all the decisions for the university. And now they are being targeted in their homes, the privacy of their homes. These pro-Hamas extremists are now setting up illegal camps. on the front lawns of many of these people people's homes. And This is happening at like 3:30, 4 o'clock in the morning.

And so the university issuing a statement: this all happened last night into the wee hours of this morning. And people are really getting nervous because these people are showing up. They've got masks on their face. You don't know who they are. And the police are concerned.

And here's my take on it. There is something called the Castle Doctrine in Michigan, and you have a right to defend your home against these pro-Hamas thugs. And if they're coming up and trying to break into your home, you have a responsibility as a man to protect your wife and your children. And your property. It really is that simple.

So we'll get into more of that a little bit later on. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Hi, everyone.

Advertisements sponsored by Legal Help Center may not be available in all states. All right. Great new TV miniseries. It starts tomorrow on Great American Pureflakes. And man, we love those folks.

We've had them on a number of times. The miniseries is called Destination Heaven, and it stars one of our favorites here on the program, our good friend Kevin Sorbo, who is on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line right now. Kevin, hope you're doing good today. I'm doing fantastic. How are you doing?

You know, I'm doing good, Kevin. Before we get into this, we just spent a good half an hour talking about these attacks on Harrison Butker, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, just a devout Catholic young man who's coming under attack for holding to beliefs like pro-life and pro-family. Are you surprised that this young man is coming under attack? Not at all. I get the same thing all the time.

I mean, I do pro-life speaking events. You get people out front chanting, and it's like, oh, you're for murdering children. Good for you. That's really a wonderful part of America right now. I mean, we live in crazy times, and we live in a world now where people just wake up every day looking to be offended.

And it's incredible to me. And it's all because, you know, look, I swear, if I could do a documentary on these people, There is no God in their lives. I'm sure there's from broken homes. I'm sure they don't like their job if they even have one. I'm sure they look in the mirror and hate what they see.

So, how can you love your neighbor as yourself when you don't love yourself at all?

So, we live in crazy times right now, but thank God for. You know, uh the the movies I've been lucky to be part of and what uh Great American Pure Flix is doing to be part of a new T V series that they're launching, because I think uh what the world is missing now more than anything else is hope. And these are the type of T V programs that give people hope.

Well, you're right. And I mean, parents are just flocking to Great American Pure Flix and it is, folks, a terrific streaming destination. Let's talk about the miniseries coming out tomorrow, Destination Heaven. What's it all about? It's out right now, actually.

It starts tonight from now until June 20th, 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

So go to Great American Peerflix and check it out and sign up. I'm in the first episode. I'm in the pilot episode, episode one called Home is Where. And I play a homeless man who's been pretty not pleased about the life that he's been dealt with and takes out and everybody else and meets a very successful businesswoman that he's camped out in the parking lot of their business building. And they eventually become not friends, but they become.

People that open up and talk to each other, and you find out a little bit about each of them, and they actually do enough to affect the other person in a positive way instead of a negative way. And it's about don't judge a book by a cover by its cover, right? And I think it's a wonderful premiere episode for Destination to Heaven, and that's going to follow with a number of other episodes after that.

So, are these like individual episodes? If you can only watch one or two, you know, or will this be a continuing, is there a continuing theme through all the episodes? The only continuing theme is God. You're going to see God in every episode.

So he's there to sort of guide people in a way that he's sort of like a father figure for people. And it's interesting. It's an interesting take on it. And we'll see. I hope what people take out of this is not only do I hope they spread the word about the series, but I hope they find hope and redemption and love and faith again, because I think the world can use a lot more of it right now.

Oh, I'm with you on that. And Kevin, I know you've been doing these kinds of movies for quite a while now, and it's been so exciting to see people just being drawn towards the the stories. And what is it? What is it about these these kinds of stories that just draw people in?

Well, I think the stories Hollywood used to do. If you go pre-1960, I mean, Hollywood did movies and TV shows like this all the time. Even they had TV shows in the 60s. They did it. You know, you had a father knows best, you had my three sons, you had the Andy Taylor show.

There was always a strong message in those kinds of movies, and there wasn't all this negative hate and anger and over-sexualization that Hollywood seems to be promoting now. And. I've always been drawn to true stories myself. I've directed a couple of true stories. I just finished one just recently that I didn't direct, but that's coming out in theaters in August, and that's called The Firing Squad.

I hope people will check out thefiring squadfilm.com. And it's a true story set in an Indonesian prison where, here amongst all these people on death row, they found God. And it's a true story. And to me, it's like if you can find God in some of the worst conditions around, then you can find God anywhere. And we're living right now, we live in a place that's so filled with hate and so filled with anger.

And what Great American Pure Flix is doing with promoting this new TV series in Destination to Heaven is to show, you know what? There's hope out there, people. And you just got to be willing to open your heart and want to watch it. I get stopped all the time for the last 10 years by people saying, We love the movies you're doing. Please keep making them because I know the things you're part of, I can let my family watch.

And it's not even Hercules or Andromeda anymore. It's God's Not Dead, it's What If? It's Soul Surfer, it's Let To Be Light. These are the movies that people want to be made. And Hollywood is slowly waking up.

And I think you're going to see a big change in Hollywood after you look at the big loss that Disney took last year with the movies they're putting out. Because people said, We don't want that kind of content. We want movies that Disney used to always do. I mean, I think Walt will be flipping in his grave, realizing what they're doing to his name right now. But, you know, there are more and more people.

Like Great American Pureflix, what Sorbo Studios, my company, with Irwin Brothers, the Kendrick Brothers, there's more and more people in the independent world that are really getting involved now and making better and better products. And Pureflix is one of the leaders of that. I mean, I did 2010 and 2014. I did What If and God's Not Dead with them. Folks, you got to go ahead and schedule time to watch this.

Great American Pureflakes, the TV miniseries Destination Heaven. You know, it's interesting. Earlier today, Kevin, up at the U.S. Capitol, they unveiled the statue of the late, great Billy Graham. And, you know, you talk about hope.

You know, here's a guy who spent almost 80 years sharing the gospel message. And it was a very simple message, but it impacts that message as you talk about it. Even in this miniseries, it will change people's lives. I'm going to tell you a story. I was 13 years old.

I grew up in Minnesota, St. John's Lutheran Church, typical second generation Scandinavian boy.

So we grew up in a Lutheran church. We took seven buses from our church to see him speak. It was a hot August night at the St. Paul Fairgrounds. There had to be 300,000 people there.

It was absolutely crazy. When he was done speaking, this was at the height of his powers in the early, mid-70s. And I, for some reason, as a 13-year-old kid, I went down there and met with one of his volunteers. I sat in the ground, I'm talking to him. All of a sudden, a hand went on my head.

I turned around. It was Billy Graham. And the moon was perfectly behind his head. It was like these moonbeams coming out of his head. It was something I'll never forget as a 13-year-old kid.

And he talked to me and prayed for me. I told that story in the Larry King show.

Well, they saw that story. And Larry King saw that story.

So they were doing a hardcover book, the only hardcover book they've ever done for Chicken Soup for the Soul. And they called me up, Larry Ross's company, and said, Billy, we loved your story. The Reverend Graham loved your story. Would you do that?

So I'm in that book next to Mother Teresa and all these other people that were touched by Billy Graham's life somehow.

So it's amazing to me how things like that come around full circle now where I'm part of that world and trying to spread the word, probably not as effectively as he did, but I'm out there doing movies and stuff that have changed people's lives. It's amazing, and what an incredible story. But again, Kevin, we're excited about the many people that are going to be reached by your work and by your ministry here in the film industry. And again, folks, great American Pure Flicks, the TV miniseries Destination Heaven. Kevin, always good to have you on the show, my friends.

I appreciate your time. And go to 8 p.m. tonight. They can check it out in Great American Peerflicks, 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

All right. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. You heard it from Kevin Sorvo. He says, go watch the show tonight.

So you better do that. All right. We've got to take a quick break here, folks. When we do, we will return to your calls, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, don't forget, everybody, 5 o'clock Eastern, you can watch the Todd Stern show on Musemax 2. Just head over to YouTube or Facebook Live, the Musemax streams, and you'll be able to watch the show tonight. We've got a great one coming up. Let's go to Jim in Lakeland, Tennessee, KWAM, our great affiliate there.

Hi, Jim. What's on your mind?

Well, I had an experience myself with Billy Graham. Um I was twenty years old and I was working at Holiday and Airport called High Air. And Wallace Johnson would bring uh certain preachers into the annual Halloween prayer breakfast. when the home of Harlem Index is. And he brought in Billy Greyle.

And they the prayer breakfast was over. I was a line service line chief and uh Hey, just as they were fixing to get on the plane, Mr. Johnson got an emergency phone call that had to take. And so he asked me, he said, Dim, he said Shelt River and Graham around the airport.

So I took him on a little thing we had that Birdie like, like a golf cart, took him around, showed him the. different things and different airplanes and stuff. Spend about twenty or thirty minutes with it.

So we got we got ready to go back to the plane. I saw mister Johnson signaling me and he and mister Graham Reverend Graham asked me for my address and my name and everything. And I said, okay.

So as they walked up to board the plane, he looked at me and he said, Jim, Well, thank you for showing me around the airport and I said, Well, sir, the honor was mine. And he said, God bless you, son, and he saluted me. And he turned around through the catapult playing. And then that Christmas, I got a card from him and Ruth. I got a Christmas card home and I still have to this day.

Is that right? Yeah.

Quite guy, quite guy. Jim, I've heard so many stories very similar to just how personable he was. And he was not a guy staying at the Ritz Carlton. He was staying at the holiday ends of the world. Oh, yeah.

He was just you know, he was just here for that prayer breakfast and everything and and he was just as as nice. I mean, you couldn't ask anybody to be any nicer, you know. All right. Jim, I appreciate that story. And there may be others of you out there.

Maybe you have a Billy Graham story. And of course, the headline is that Billy Graham's statue was unveiled today in the U.S. Capitol in Statuary Hall. And it was a beautiful ceremony. And we'll try to bring you some audio from that a little bit later on in the next hour of the program.

But it's really something to see this man now being honored. And I truly believe that future generations are going to be able to go, and they're going to be able to see not only the statue, but at the base of the statue, the pedestal, are the words from John chapter 3, verse 16, which is a Bible verse that Billy Graham preached from all over the world.

So if you have a story, maybe you went to one of the crusades, give us a call. We'd like to hear from you. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. It was a big crowd there at the U.S.

Capitol. Capitol today for that incredibly beautiful moment. By the way, the statue has Billy Graham seven feet tall and has a, he's holding, he's holding the Bible as he would, you know, that traditional Billy Graham pose with the Bible out there. And it really is a remarkable statue. They did a wonderful job.

I want to go back to what's happening at the At the University of Michigan. Where dozens of pro-la of pro-Hamas students Terrorize university officials at their private residences. This is what it sounded like on the front lawn of Sarah Hubbard's home. Cut number 10. Today is Nekba Day, a day that marks 76 years since the mass displacement of the Palestinian people to establish the settler colonial Zionist state.

Sarah Hubbard. You and the remainder of the regents have not had the basic human decency. To meet with us yet at the encampment, where we have been stationed for over 23 days, calling upon you to divest from death. Instead of meeting with us, the students who have been losing their loved ones for the last seven months and with a coalition of 100 student organizations. You have instead tackled and laughed in our faces at a protest where students were brutally beaten, pepper sprayed and arrested.

Mooji! As you have refused to come to the encampment, We are now bringing the encampment to you. Yeah.

Yeah.

Likewise. Each Board of Regent has received a copy of our demands taped to their doors this morning. We are giving the regents until the end of their meeting on may sixteenth to respond to our communication. All right, there you go. This was happening at other locations, and in some of these, it was 3:30, 4 o'clock in the morning.

Jordan Acker is a regent at the University of Michigan, and he actually has photographs. We've got these up on our website, ToddSterns.com. The masked intruder showed up at his home around 4:40 a.m., and the poor guy's three young daughters were asleep in their beds. We understand that in some locations the protesters pitched tents, then they dumped fake corpses. wrapped in bloodied sheets on the lawn.

And everybody was wearing a hijab or some sort of a face covering.

Now, at this point, the whole point of this is that they want to instill fear and terror into the hearts of these university officials. This is. literally the definition of terrorism. Yeah.

And the university is out there and they're saying, well, you know, we condemn this, and this is unprecedented. No, no, no, no, no. This is when you play hardball. You have every single one of em arrested. You find out who they are.

And they get expelled from school. Anyone who's a non-U.S. citizen needs to be deported immediately.

Now, These wannabe cosplay terrorists need to understand something about Michigan, where the Castle Doctrine is in effect.

So Michigan homeowners have every right to defend themselves and their property and protect their families. And my recommendation to all of these university administrators is to get out, get on down to your local sporting goods store. If you do not have a gun, get out of the gun. Get yourself a gun, get yourself plenty of ammo. And be ready to defend your property.

Against this mob. Keep in mind, and I you know, folks, folks just don't pay much attention to history, and they don't pay much attention to detail. But the one thing out of October 7th that always stuck with me. is the fact that these terrorists went after the small farms, the small communities? The The college kids, the young people who were at a peace Concert And by the way, most of the people in Israel are not allowed to own firearms, so these people are all sitting ducks.

So my recommendation to you is don't be a sitting duck. Go out, get a gun, learn how to use it. Make sure you have plenty of ammo. Know your rights under the Constitution. Know your rights under your state constitution as well, because many states have different laws on guns.

And make sure that you are prepared when the pro-Hamas terrorists show up on your front lawn. And that's what these people are. And we better start taking this seriously. Because one day, and again, this is not a conspiracy. I have no secret information about any of this, but hear me on this.

There's a lot of scuttle butt. A lot of talk, a lot of chatter. about whether or not there will actually be an election in the fall. I believe there will be an election, but there are many who do not, and they believe there will be some sort of a national incident that would force where the government would be forced to step in and curtail our civil liberties. And one of the ways that, that could happen is if you have thousands of coordinated terrorist attacks happening at the same time in small towns and communities around this nation.

And you say, Todd, that's ridiculous, that's impossible. No, it's actually not ridiculous, and it's not impossible. Because Plenty of these people have been coming across our southern border, and all of them are military-aged young men. And they have been dispatched to every town, every community in this country.

So that being said. Better safe than sorry. We're all about being prepared, about being ready just in case something happens.

So, there you go. What would you do? If the pro-Hama student showed up on your front yard. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926.

All right, folks, hang tight. Hour two of the big show coming up. This is the Todd Stern Show. From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. That's us!

Yeah.

That's right. I love this American. Todd Stearns. And hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

By the way, the cross-examination of Michael Cohen continues in Lower Manhattan. And a good many members of the House Reading Caucus are there on hand. To show their support for President Trump. Also, folks like Lauren Boebert, Congressman Matt Gates, Andy Ogles was there as well. And do we have that audio?

Let's listen to what Andy Ogles had to say from Tennessee. You know, if I started a story with a convicted felon and a hooker walking to a bar, you would immediately know that it's a joke.

Well that's what we have here. A joke of a trial. This is not a prosecution, this is a persecution. We have a two-tier justice system in this country. And if a former president can be targeted by a woke and corrupt judge, Then you can be targeted as well.

Mr. President, we've got your back. All right. Thank you there. Congressman Ogles represents Middle Tennessee over the Nashville.

Area. I'm not sure who the hooker is. Is he calling Stormy Daniels the hooker? Because I'm not sure. Is she a sidewalk Sally or is she just a porn star?

There may be a distinction there that I don't know. I'm just a good church-going Baptist. What do I know? Anyway, we'll keep you updated. Any developments there.

By the way, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I do want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, say hello to our friend, Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas. Senator, hope you're doing good today. Yeah, Todd, I'm doing great.

Good afternoon. I'm in D.C., where I'm supposed to be. I get a couple of votes here, but we sure wish the President Trump well today and looking forward to a final chapter in that book. You know, it's really amazing when you see the response to President Trump. I mean, in spite of all of the horrible news coverage and the trials of over 100,000 people turning out in New Jersey, I'm curious, what are you hearing back in Kansas?

Same level of support? Yo, absolutely. I would say that people I've never seen people so motivated to vote. this trial just emboldens every one of them, the Trump supporters. People wouldn't walk across the street to hear Joe Biden talk.

You'd have to pay him. But Donald Trump has eighty thousand, one hundred thousand, whatever it is. But absolutely, every time they see what a creepy guy this Michael Caine is, you talk about a prostitute and a whore, that would be Michael Caine. He's the one who's selling all this information for money, selling lies for money as well. He's done nothing but profit from this.

This is a liar. He's been debarred. He's lied to Congress. His last book was named Revenge of All Things.

So this guy would do anything for a buck and he sold his soul to the devil. Senator, there's so much to talk about and the concerns so many people have about the border, what's happening there. I know you're very upset about Chuck Schumer and his attempts to revive the border bill. You say it is an absolutely weak package. Is that right?

It's a horrible package. It is deader than dead. What Chuck Schumer should be doing is taking H.R. 2. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary.

The House sent over a real security package, a real border security package, and it's set in the Judiciary Committee basement for over a year now.

So that has some strength to it. The legislation that Chuck Schumer wants to bring us actually will make the immigration situation worse. It does not address remain in Mexico. Really, I would not consider any type of series bill serious unless it has remain in Mexico as opposed to catch and release. It needs to address the two million people that he's paroled, and we need to address the hundreds of thousands of quote refugees that he sent over as well.

So there's policy changes. And by the way, let's finish building the wall. Yeah, that would be nice. I do wonder, though, and early on, the polling data, exit polling data, everybody said immigration was the top concern on people's minds, and it needs to be. But I'm telling you, the economy, it's hard when you've got Americans going to the grocery store and paying almost 50 percent more for things like eggs.

This is just insane where the country is right now. Yeah, yeah, Todd.

So I think it's kind of your frame of question. If you ask Folks, their biggest worry is their safety and security. It's the open southern border. If you ask their biggest concern, it is the economy, it's inflation. Kansans are spending $1,000 more per month for the basic necessities of life.

And you take an average salary in Kansas, a family, you know, maybe takes home $5,000 a month. Job in Kansas, and you're spending up $1,000 more just for gas and groceries. and you have nothing left. The average cost of a mortgage payment for that first time homeowner has doubled under Joe Biden as well. That American dream of owning a house right now is out of reach for everybody.

And these interest rates are not coming down. They're not coming down because the federal government continues to print and borrow money. At the same time, Joe Biden continues to attack American energy. And I believe that energy is an inflation multiplier. Inflation is not going to come down until we set American energy free, that is President Trump's second campaign promise here, drill baby drill.

Then we got to stop printing money. Then we'll see inflation and interest rates start coming down. Donald Trump can do it. It's going to take a change in the White House, though. Senator, one of the things that you've recognized early on is the border crisis and the impact it's having on crime.

And specifically, you've got the Democrats out there with their soft on crime policies. You've got these George Source district attorneys out there. And you point out that this just keeps compounding that problem. And many of our American cities are literal no-go zones now as a result of that. Yes, absolutely.

We work real hard with our relationships with our law enforcement officers. By the way, this is National Law Enforcement Week. Really reach out to those officers and say thank you. They are overwhelmed. We did several roundtables recently.

And to a person, law enforcement says crime is just on a huge uptick. And what they say is that even if we doubled their workforce, we cannot arrest ourselves out of this situation. Between drugs and human trafficking, we're seeing huge spikes in crime. And of course, wherever you see those things, there's going to be more violent crimes as well. And they'll look at me and say, why can't you secure the border?

Why doesn't Joe Biden want to secure the border? They get it. But we're seeing an uptick everywhere, including here in DC. All right. Well, Senator, we appreciate the The great work that you are doing, and you're a rock-solid conservative.

And we know the people there in Kansas are blessed to have you in the U.S. Senate. Thank you for joining us today. Yeah, Todd, I enjoyed it. Thanks so much, everyone.

Be safe. Have Memorial Days around the corner as well.

So I remember to honor those soldiers that paid the ultimate sacrifice. And if you run into a Gold Star family, let them know you're thinking about them as well.

Well said. All right, Senator Roger Marshall from the great state of Kansas. By the way, before I forget, we're going to go to the phones here in just a second, I have to give a shout out to one of our listeners, Stan the Man. Stan called in a couple of weeks ago, and he was so moved by the story of Allie's Cookies. We told you the story on the program of this Jewish-owned bakery near Emory University in Atlanta.

And they've been under relentless assault. Their building has been vandalized, all sorts of damage. They're facing a boycott simply because they support Israel. That's it. That's it.

That's why they're trying to be run out of town. And so, Stan, the man, called into the show, and he said he was going to be ordering us two dozen cookies. And Dylan, I'll be darned if this morning we didn't get a big delivery package. I posted pictures on the Todd Starn Show Instagram page, but we actually got two dozen cookies from Allie's Cookies. I did not have a healthy breakfast this morning, Todd.

Which one did you get? What flavor did you get? I got the chocolate chip. Oh, man, those were good. Very good.

Soft in the middle, soft on the outside, just how I like it. Very tasty cookies. That was one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had, and all sorts of other. We're working our way through the. I can only do one.

There's a lot of cookies. Me too. It was a lot.

So, anyway, folks, go and check out Allie's Cookies. Stand the man. Thank you very much for sending us the snack. It will be well appreciated by the staff of the Todd Starn show. I can promise you that.

All right, let's go to Daytona Beach, Florida. Jerry is listening to us on 96.2 FM. Hi, Jerry. What's on your mind today? Yeah, I was listening when you were talking about the campus and the and on how the the violence and what they're getting away with.

That tied right in. You just had the senator. It doesn't a lot of it doesn't surprise me anymore. I mean, during, like what he just mentioned, National Law Enforcement Week. They had a hund over one hundred and forty Democrats.

Vote against the bill that would. deport any uh illegal the assault was convicted of assaulting a police officer or a first responder and It'd been interesting to get to get these names at the hundred over one hundred and forty. I think it was one hundred and forty eight. Democrats that voted against that bill.

So I'm sure the legislature did pass, but at least it'll be in front of it'll probably it'll go to the Senate, so it'll be interesting to see. Uh What's made of that? Yeah, Jerry, you know, it's and it's it's tragic because, again, this seems to me to be a pretty nonpartisan issue. The fact that we want to protect our law enforcement, the men and women who wear the shield, they get out there every day, they put their lives on the line. And you won't even, you had 148 House Democrats, to your point, that voted against that bill to deport illegals who attack police officers.

And it makes you wonder: all right, so are you sight, you're siding with the illegals who are literally Beating up, shooting, attacking cops. I can't imagine that is a good platform, even in some of these liberal districts out there in America. It's really mind-blowing. And when you mentioned the firearm element from your last, when you were talking about the to protect yourself for Thirty-four years of my marriage, we had no firearms in the house. I had them prior to being married.

And three and a half years ago, my wife said, uh I think it's time for you to show me teach me what courses and we will now have firearms. Is that right? Even in a place like Daytona Beach. You bet. She's a real estate broker and she determined that with the changes that we've seen coming three point five years ago, Uh after uh Yeah, that she she made the change.

I let her do it. Yeah, I mean, as far as I didn't I I knew it was necessary. And she came to me.

Well, Jerry, I, wow, well, good for her. And I know a lot of ladies are out there. We have a 901 firearms here in the Memphis, Tennessee area, and they actually offer classes exclusively for ladies who want to learn self-defense, learn how to use a gun. And I totally respect that. And I know a couple of years ago, I was at a, or a good buddy, Rick, Rick Green, the Constitution coach, has a big Nevada, it's like a week-long training, firearms training course out near Pahrump, Nevada.

And it was like 70% female.

So it was a huge crowd, but a lot of ladies wanting to learn how to use a weapon. And, you know, they want to be able to protect themselves. Jerry, appreciate you calling in. And thanks. Have a great day there in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Is this true? We have Stan the Man on the Stan? Wow, those are great cookies, my friend. Hello, Mr. Storms.

How are you doing? Well, we're doing a lot better now that we've had some chocolate chip cookies. Yes, sir. I'm glad. You mentioned there were two dozen.

I just checked with Lydia to make sure you got four dozen. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a diversion before they got delivered to you somewhere.

Well, we have some hungry stampers, so that may have been the case. I don't thank you. Four dozen cookies. Jeez, the loop. Yes, sir.

We're going to do some extra laps around the park today, sir.

Well, that makes two of us. I had to put some of mine in the freezer to make sure that I didn't go through them too fast. What I love about them, Stan, is they're like individually wrapped. That makes it a lot better. Yes, sir.

She did a wonderful job, and I spoke to her again yesterday, and they're doing pretty good. And She said she appreciated all the help, and I mentioned to her that we had talked when you were here in Gainsville about possibility of you doing a remote down there. And I told you, if you're there, we'll be there.

Well, that sounds good. I'm not too sure how much broadcasting I'll be able to do surrounded by all those delicious cookies, though. No, I understand.

Well, Stan, it was very nice to meet you, and thank you for coming out to our big event there in Gainesville. It was a lot of fun, and it's always fun to meet so many of our great listeners. Thank you. Keep up the good work and always stay with the truth, what you do. All right, Stan.

God bless you, Very. What a good man there. What a kind-hearted man. And I look, he is, that's the thing: is that we have so many listeners just like Stand the Man all over the country.

Next week, next Wednesday, we're back out on the road, heading to North Carolina, WSJS, WSIC. We're coming to your town as well. We're going to have a lot of fun, and we'll be telling you more about that, I think, on Monday. In the meantime, we've got to take a quick break here at 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. And I'm not sure if you've heard, but President Trump, he says Newsmax is really terrific. I think that's because I'm on Newsmax now.

So give it a shot. What do you have to lose? You're going to really love it. You've got to trust me on this. All right.

I have a question for you.

So today, the House Oversight Committee is scheduling a markup on whether or not to hold. Merritt Garland in contempt of Congress.

Now here's the deal. Merritt Garland is refusing to hand over a recording of an interview between President Biden and the special counsel Robert Hur.

Now, Robert Hurr is the one who said that Biden was dementia-riddled. That he had experienced severe mental lapses and had poor memory. This is at least seven times. According to a transcript that our friends over at Brightpart News got a hold of.

So The Associate Attorney General. Sent a letter to Jim Jordan and James Comer and said, Sorry, guys, we're not going to let you listen to that audio because it's executive privilege. And so Biden's going to refuse. To hand over the recordings.

Now The question at this point is: Should Merritt Garland be held in contempt? I believe the answer to that question is yes. But here's where it gets interesting, and we talked about this yesterday on this show. Should Merritt Garland be arrested? Because if this had been a member of the Trump administration and they defied a congressional subpoena, they would have their butts thrown in jail.

Even the Republicans would have agreed to that. I'm just telling you, that's the way it is.

So I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen. Do you believe that if Merrick Garland is held in contempt of Congress, that he should be arrested? He should be charged. He should be purp walked. Or should the Republicans in the House give the guy a pass?

901-260-5926. Our number, that's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. You know, I think I can proudly say I don't know a single Taylor Swift song. Don't know a one.

If you played one right now, I wouldn't know, I would not have a clue. And I'm okay with that, Dylan. I mean, some people may think, oh, well, stars, you need to be more culturally relevant. But I'm good. All she sings about, by the way, are And she writes her songs.

I think she's a talented songwriter, I suppose. But she um all she writes about are the bad breakups. And I just I don't want to s think this, but you do wonder at some point Who in their right mind would date Taylor Swift? It's going to end up bad, and you're going to end up being a song lyric. I'm just saying.

No arguments from me.

So, anyway, Dylan, they have a brand new church service. This is happening in Heidelberg, Germany. Vegia silent. Taylor Swift, there's a brand new Taylor Swift themed church service. This church, by the way, is 600 years old, and the.

The church held an anti-hero Taylor Swift church service. Over a thousand people turned out. And the service featured the Megastars music. Is there any of her songs that would be remotely religious? You know, typically the musicians, the pop stars, they always do their perfunctory, you know, Christmas album.

Or they maybe do a collection of Gospel hymns. That's really the country music world, though. Yeah.

You could argue that her music is actually the opposite of Christian.

So she's antichrist. Yeah.

So Taylor Swift, you're telling me that Taylor Swift could be the Antichrist? I mean, she pokes fun at Christianity in her new album.

So, I mean, that's not a good start. She's a godless heathen. But she can carry a tune. That's just true. She plays a guitar, though, right?

Yeah.

All right, well, that's good. You know, I respect somebody who can play an instrument as well as, you know, write lyrics. But again, I mean, you do wonder. Is the whole point of her dating To get material For songs Is that wrong to think that, ladies and gentlemen? Yeah.

The Church of the Holy Spirit in Heidelberg held two swift themed services on Sunday. They were called the anti-hero. Taylor Swift Church Service. Antichrist. Six, six, six.

Did you hear that? Anybody else worship was just me. Is that Taylor? I don't know. Anyway, uh the pastor Says the church of the Holy Spirit has always been a place of encounter and exchange.

Uh-oh. It's getting what's the German word for woke? Anyway, that's why a pop music religious service fits so. Perfectly. Pastor Christoph Elcipin.

With it, we are giving space to the questions and issues that occupy the younger generation. Really, is the younger generation just sitting there wondering? What would Taylor Swift do? W W T S D Oh, and tailored, yeah. And here we go.

Another pastor says Theologically speaking, she points to the justness of God. For her faith and action are inseparable. Oh, so she's like Their version of Jesus. I see.

So they're heretics. Very nice. In front of a man, here we go, and this is all you need to know about this particular church. In front, a band-led worship with six swift songs. It's always the worship band, right?

I I d I don't know what it is about modern church these days. But if you don't have a cover band, then you just can't worship God. Anyway, they've got the band is playing, so they're playing Taylor Swift songs, and here we go. A Rainbow Banner Behind them on stage. Let visitors know the church welcomes all sizes, all colors, all cultures, all sexes, all beliefs.

All religions.

So it could be a Satan worship. I don't know. They could be worshiping Satan. You know, they come in there and they go, oh, it's Taylor Swift Beelzebub. Taylor Swift.

I don't know. But it seems to me if you're going to be all things to all people, you're just nothing. And that's what this church really is.

So there you go, just about a bunch of wannabe American Idol stars. strumming their banjos and whatever. Bangin' their bongos. Would you go to a Taylor Swift themed? I'm wondering how many American churches actually play.

Taylor, hold on, Taylor's with music in their worship set. That's a nice Google search. I'll do some research for you. Let me know. In the meantime, I have to talk about tacos and burritos.

So this story from Not the Bee. And there's a big problem in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It all started with a dispute about whether a popular chain of Mexican restaurants called the famous Taco Mexican Grill could add a location in Fort Wayne.

Now the location said no. Because their covenant expressly forbids certain types of restaurants like fast food. Sandwich shops were okay, but fast food restaurants were not. But an Indiana judge issued a ruling. And said that the The Mexican restaurant must be allowed to lease space.

Because, are you ready for this, folks? The judge says that tacos and burritos are actually Mexican sandwiches. This is the actual quote from the ruling. The proposed famous taco restaurant falls within the scope of the general use approved in the original Richen commitment. the proposed famous taco restaurant would serve made to order tacos, burritos and other Mexican style food, and would not have out door seating, drive through service or serve booze.

Really? What kind of a Mexican restaurant does it serve like I don't know? Margaritas And tequila. I'm a Baptist martini guy myself. That's a diet coke with a wedge of lemon for you independent Baptists out there.

The court agrees that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches.

So my question to you, ladies and gentlemen, are you believing this? Do you really believe is a taco do you consider a taco to be a sandwich?

Now There is a rule, and this is a pretty hard-fast rule when it comes to determining whether or not.

Something is a sandwich. You know, a lot of this falls into the same thing of uh of hot talks. Is the hot dog a sandwich?

So they call it the cube rule, and here's the cube rule.

So According to the Kubril, a taco is a three-sided starch construction. Which includes hot dogs and pies. A burrito is neither a sandwich nor a taco. It is a calzone, which is a whole difference. No, that's Italian, though.

You can't mix uh the ethnicities there, can you? A burrito is neither a sandwich nor a taco. It is a calzone, which is a whole different starch construction that's completely enclosed. And if the judge is going to let burritos in, he also has to let in a fast food restaurant like KFC because fried chicken is also a calzone. Is this true?

I didn't realize this was a big controversy. But again, a taco is a taco. It's not a sandwich. A sandwich is like. ham or bologna.

Are they saying that a a hot dog is a taco? Yes, under the definition.

So that they're mixing ethnicities there too a little bit. Hot dogs are American. They're American tacos. Give me an Oscar Meyer Wiener. By the way, did you see a couple of months ago the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile came to town?

I love when I see that thing around here. There it it always brings a smile to one's face. I want to drive it. That would be fun. It's kind of like a Winnebagro.

With the big Frankfurter just, you know, stuffed in the middle of it. Exactly. All right. 901-260-5926. If you're one of away on the.

Taco and burrito controversy. This story from Fox News: A freak robot made in China can learn, think, and work like humans. Here we go. The Chinese company has created a humanoid robot. And it's called the S1 model.

This is like Terminator, right? It's like the movie Terminator. This is happening in real life, ladies and gentlemen. It's about the rise. It's about the rise of the Of the robots.

I'm not too sure I want. my robots to think Learn and work like humans. If that's the case, they're always going to be late for work. They're going to take a two-hour lunch. I'm just saying.

And they're going to want to raise every couple of months. I'm just saying, I'm not sure that's a good idea. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Christine, North Carolina, WHKP. All right, Taylor.

Christine, what do you think about Taylor Swift? I could care less. She'd be a completely different person if she was like us and didn't have so much money. But did you not also know that she is very, very, very liberal and is encouraging everybody to vote for Buddha? I don't agree with that.

Well, she's not the brightest bulb, Christine.

Now, do me a favor, turn down your radio so we're getting a little bit of an echo there. But yeah, I'm not you're right. She is a liberal, and she is a big fan of Biden. She doesn't like Marsha Blackburn, but that made Marsha Blackburn only more popular in the state of Tennessee.

Okay. Mm-hmm. No, I could care less about Taylor or and or Travis Kelsey. who is also very rich. I mean, I will command Taylor.

She does donate. Money. I know she donated a bunch of money when there was a tornado somewhere. And I respect that. I just again, it's just sort of weird.

It's you know, she dates these guys, and once once she gets her material for her next song, she dumps them. I'd be nervous. Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, Christine, appreciate that call. And yes, it is true. Taylor Swift is, in fact, a. A liberal.

So anyway, this back to this robot. It can move at a blistering pace of thirty-two point eight feet per second and handle a payload of about twenty-two pounds per arm. The S1's capabilities are record-setting. The robot's dexterity is showcased in a video. This is coming from Fox News.

where it can delicately shave a cucumber. I don't know about that. Oh, it also does calligraphy. You see, this is the problem. We stopped teaching kids how to do cursive and now the robots are going to be doing it.

When they look back decades from now. When The last humans are living in caves, hiding in fear from the robot world and our robot overlords. We're going to look back on this day and realize it was all about banning cursive writing in school. If we had only not done that. humanity might have been saved.

According to Fox, the new robot can also open and pour wine and flip a sandwich in a frying pan. Is that a taco sandwich or? What are we talking about here? Oh, wait a second. We may have a redeeming factor here.

The S2, the humanoid robot, actually does ironing and folding the laundry. Dylano, you're getting married. Can you put that on the registry? You want your own S1 humanoid robot? I'm already looking for it.

That might be the only thing I get.

So the robot also mimics human human movements. And it's a learner, an imitator, and a potential pioneer.

So, in other words, it will want you. And then it will mimic your actions. Why are you shaking your head, Dull? You just said a robot can learn. That just makes me feel like it's the end times.

So I just wanted to flip my sandwiches, not Destroy the world. I understand, just vacuum the floor. I hate I hate like ironing, so I mean just do the things that I want. Not the things you want me to do. But you're getting married.

That's why you have a wife. Right. Wow. We're just kidding. There we go.

We're just kidding. Jeez, Alou. All right. So, ladies and gentlemen, so this robot's going to be, it's going to hit the market later on this year. Would you buy an S1 humanoid robot that could literally?

Cook your meals. Wash your laundry Iron and fold your laundry and mow your grass. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Tom Stern show.

Uh All right, you know what is interesting?

So, Travis Kelsey gets out there, chugs a beer during a graduation ceremony. Encouraging everybody to party and get drunk. And that's he gets celebrated in the media. Harrison Butker actually encourages graduates to get married and start a family, go to church, and all hell breaks loose. What does that tell you about the culture?

All right, let's go to the phones: 901-260-5926. Let's go to Jolene in North Carolina, WSIC. Jolene, you want to talk about the robots? Yes, I do, Todd. I just got I just had a thought.

Well, if that robot can mimic people's feelings and all and their actions, what if he gets mad like a woman And my thoughts was, does he come with a remote control so you can turn him off? Yeah.

I'm not going to answer that question, Jolie. That that could be that could be opening a whole new can of worms there. It's a fair point you raise. I wonder if they come in male and female versions. Oh, my goodness.

Handing tall as that one, Todd. Oh my. Jolene, it's a crazy world, isn't it? It sure is, Todd. It's a lot different than when I was growing up.

Jolene, we're coming to town next week. We're going to be telling you guys more about it, but hope to see you out at our big book signing. I hope to see you too, John. All right, Joanne. All right.

God bless. That's a great point. Let's go to Jim, Memphis, Tennessee. Hey, Jim, what's on your mind? Good afternoon, Todd.

It's always a hard act to follow Jolene there. Yes. Yeah.

Um just uh on the sandwich controversy, I the fillings you can't argue with, but I it's crossed my mind that uh that the tacos are made with either uh corn and water or uh flour and water. and there's no yeast in them. And I've never seen a sandwich that didn't have leavened bre didn't have uh leavened bread in it. Oh, this is interesting.

So, what does this mean in your sandwich mind? Yeah.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Um I look at it horizontally as well as vertically, and that's about all I can handle. Cam, this is terrible. Oh, Lord. But it just up there you go.

That's great. But Yeah. Uh no, I Yeah, are we trying to differentiate between the two for God and country? Or what are we doing here?

Well, here's the thing. My definition of a sandwich is some sort of a meat tucked between two pieces of bread.

Now, the question is a hot dog, which is some people would say technically is a sandwich, but I don't believe it is because that bread is hinged, right?

So there's a hinge in the bread. And that would make it more like a pita sandwich than a sandwich sandwich in my estimation. It's own breed. You have to yeah, we need to differentiate and have one more kind of uh One more kind of category to go with the pronouns. I'm calling on Congress to investigate.

We've got to get to the bottom of this. Sandwich Gate. All right, Jim, thank you. Hang tight, everybody. Hour three coming up.

This is the Todd Starden Show. 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. And hello, everybody.

Welcome to the Todd Stars Radio Program.

So, very happy to have you with us today. Coming up in just a little while, we're going to be talking, it's a crazy story. About a school that was teaching kids. About Donald Trump and Hitler. This was over in Oregon, and a middle school assignment asked kids to draw comparisons between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.

We're going to be talking to a parent. And also a gentleman running for the State House over there and seems to be very concerned about that.

So we'll keep you updated on that story. That's coming up a little bit later on. By the way, our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. So Ayana Presley, that's the member of the squad.

You've got Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib. There's another chick. Oh, Rashida Tlib AOC. And then the one everybody forgets about. It's kind of like that missing spice girl.

It's there's that one Spice girl everybody forgets about. Ianna Presley is that chick. Anyway, she is as racist as the day is long. And this is mind-boggling. Here's Ayana Presley yesterday, cut number seven.

There is not one woman on this panel. And I almost walked out just on the strength of that. But the only reason why I didn't is because that is a systemic issue here in Congress and often for people who come before this committee. And if you don't have one woman in a position of leadership and authority that should be there, then that is also a problem. But again, women, hundreds of women, the report detailed hundreds of women who experience harassment with no recourse.

For over a decade, the FDIC, under your leadership and your predecessors, ignored them. Chair Guinberg, in November, in fact, not that long ago, you stated that the FDIC already has, quote, appropriate policies and procedures in place, unquote. Do you now agree? And this is a yes or no question. I'm serious.

Do you now agree? that the policies and procedures in place have been a cataclysmic failure and an affront to the many women who have been harassed, pushed out of the FDIC and forced to change their career goals and life trajectory. Yeah.

They have failed, yes, Congresswoman. Small Ashamed? traumatized, humiliated, alone. These are just a few of the words to describe the intense feelings of sexual harassment and what survivors endure. According to the FDIC's own reporting, more than 80% of harassment complaints resulted in zero discipline.

And when there were repercussions, not a single one resulted in removal, reductions in greater pay or any discipline more serious than a temporary suspension. I am so tired of white men failing up. This lack of accountability is a shameful. All right, there you go. All right.

So she's tired of all you white men failing up. And I thought originally I misread that. I said she was tired of white men falling up. And I thought she was talking about Joe Biden. Poor guy can't even walk up a flight of stairs.

I mean, geez, the loot. But look, this is This is the kind of vitriol that is becoming the norm. On university campuses, in the public sector, and in the halls of Congress right now. And you need to be very alarmed by this kind of stuff, especially if you happen to be a white man. Because they'll be coming after you.

Oh, by the way. Congressman Jeff Van Dreaux. Dropping some knowledge about these Robert Her tapes.

Now, the house. The House Judiciary is expected to recommend. That Merritt Garland be held in contempt of Congress because he refuses to turn over these tapes. Cut number nine. Cognitively impaired, incompetent, unable to stand trial, even though he broke the law.

So the Department of Justice decides that they won't go after him for those reasons. And if that's true, we need to hear the audio tape. You're going to be able to understand if he truly is that cognitively impaired, if he truly has those problems, if he cannot deal with these issues, if he didn't know what he is doing, we are going to learn a lot more. And by the way, If it is no big deal, as the other side says, because we have the transcripts, Well, we do have the transcripts, so why do you care so much about us getting the audio. What's the big deal?

I just want to finish this first. I will yield. We already have the transcript, so why don't we have the audio? Because we can find out whether he is in that much trouble, if the country is in that much trouble. This has got nothing to do with what's going on in New York.

This has to do with what's going on right here in the White House in Washington, D.C., with this President. If he is not cognitively impaired, if he is with it, if he is capable, then he broke the law as Vice President and as a U.S. Senator, not allowed to take these classified materials out, kept them in a garage by his home next to a collapsed dog kennel. And then use them.

Well, there you go. And Jeff Andrew is just, I mean, he's laying it out there why we need to see. These audio tapes. We need to hear these audio tapes.

So, while that's happening, and we're going to keep an eye on that. And obviously Merritt Garland needs to be going to jail. If he is going to defy the subpoena, he needs to go to jail. And Speaker Johnson needs to deal with this, and it needs to be harsh. Tired, I'm tired of the Republicans turning a blind eye to all of this lawlessness on the Democrat side of the aisle.

Anyway, I want to get back to Michael Cohen, who is being cross-examined today, and it is not going well. at all. As a matter of fact, Anderson Cooper over at CNN was uh talking about this just a little while ago. 15 minutes of court today right before the lunch break, it was incredible. I mean, it was you know, Ellie Hoenig on on my program last night had talked about, you know, on on a cross-examination, uh lawyers want to kind of put the the the witness in a you know, build a box around the witness and then slam it shut.

That's what Todd Blanch did to Michael Cohen. I mean, the story, you know, that Todd Blanche just methodically went through this sequence of events of this phone conversation that Michael Cohen had testified to previously, you know, that he had had this consequential phone conversation with Donald Trump. It was a 90-second phone conversation. I believe it was October 24th, with the date that it was testified to in around 8 p.m. or so at night.

But Todd Blanche, on his cross-examination today, And went, kind of looked at the transcripts of text messages that Michael Cohen had received and sent before that timeframe. And there had been this series, I guess, of crank calls that Michael Cohen had received. It turned out to be from some 14-year-old. There was an exchange of messages between the alleged 14-year-old and Michael Cohen. And then Michael Cohen texts Keith Schiller at like 7:50 something or 7.48 p.m.

saying, hey, you know, I've got some dope has been harassing me. I got the person's phone number. Who can I talk to? Keith Schiller texts him back saying, call me. And Michael Cohen calls Keith Schiller.

This is the conversation that previously Michael Cohen had said he was calling to speak to Donald Trump to tell him that he was going ahead with the Stormy Daniel arrangement and that Trump approved it, which was a, you know, a crucial crucial to Michael Cohen's whole raison d'etre for being on the stand. He is the only person testifying to involvement by direct involvement by Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels payments. But it, according to suddenly now, Michael Cohen's refreshed memory. He now says, Oh, it was a call about this 14-year-old making crank phone calls to me, but also about. The moving ahead on Stormy Daniels, Todd Blanche was incredulous, his voice cracking, his voice raising up, moving around the courtroom, speaking, saying that what the jury doesn't want to hear, him guessing, it wants to hear facts.

It was an extraordinary cross-examination by Todd Blanche, and Michael Cohen's. Throughout the day, Michael Cohen, when cornered in when he found himself in a corner, He does have a pattern of suddenly not understanding the question that's being asked, or seemingly kind of, I mean, one could say buying time to try to figure out how he wants to answer. But he definitely suddenly starts to, you know, have Todd Blanche repeat questions and say, I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm confused by the question. Let me jump in here for just a moment.

This is fascinating. Anderson Cooper of CNN. And the reason I wanted you to hear this longer version is that Cooper is astounded. that Michael Cohen was destroyed on the stand today. And this is just a lunch break.

So there's also some reporting now that Michael Cohen's attorney just testified to Congress moments ago. This would be Robert Costello. Michael Cohen's attorney testified that Cohen testified. Told him That he didn't even believe Stormy Daniels and only paid her off to save Trump and his family embarrassment.

So, what does this mean?

Well, if that's the case, then it blows up, it blows up the entire case in New York City. Costello testifying on Capitol Hill. That um That Cohen was becoming increasingly agitated at not being invited to work in Washington.

So. It certainly looks like you have Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen who who were trying to extort Donald John Trump.

So at some point, the judge has to step. I mean, he has to. I mean, if there is a shred, just a single little shred. Of integrity in this judge, he's going to have to throw this whole thing out. There is not a case here, and that's what you heard.

The exasperation and Anderson Cooper from CNN's voice. That's what you heard. That That Cohen got destroyed. And I'm telling you right now that at the end of the day, Alvin Bragg. Fat Albin.

Hee hee hee hee. Fat Alvin Bragg. He's got to be held accountable. All of these people do. All right, we got to take a quick break here.

901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Now, I have a tradition. Usually on the third hour of the program, you see, I start my day about 4:30, 5 a.m. And so, right about that third hour of the show, I got to sneak out, I got to get a cup of coffee.

And we're very excited to introduce a brand new sponsor of the program, our friends at First Cup Coffee Company. And this is a Christian-owned, family-owned, conservative-owned, patriotic coffee company. And they stand for all the values that you care about. And by the way, they actually use some of their profits to support mission programs all around the world, building churches, Bible colleges, and funding missionaries. But I'm telling you, I don't know what they put in these roasted beans.

I don't know how they roast the beans, but it's like a church experience.

So I am a big fan of First Cup Coffee. You ought to check them out. I get the Washington blend, but they have so many other different blends. And you got to go to their website and they'll be able to give you all that information. Firstcup.com, that's firstcup.com.

Get this. You could buy the beans and you can grind them yourself. You can get the pods, which is what I do for my little Keurig. If you use my code TOD, then you're going to save an additional 10% on your coffee order. And if you subscribe, in other words, they'll send you a regular supply of coffee, you're going to save an additional 10% for the entire life of your subscription.

So, if you want more information and you want to get more intel on the blends of the coffee they have, all you need to do is go to firstcup.com and use the code TOD. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. By the way, I find this to be fascinating.

There is. There's a story from our friends over at Libs of TikTok. And they've gotten their hands on a military memorandum talking about. The Gay Pride Month Celebrations. And This is from the uh th from the Air Force, which seems to be the The greatest offender of all of this.

And they're telling everybody, hey, look, we're expecting everybody to participate. The U. S. Air Force sending out this memorandum saying that LGBT inclusion makes the military stronger and ultimately creates a more effective team.

So what the what the implication there is that If you don't have LGBT inclusion, then you do not have an effective team.

So they're saying that the military is not as strong as it should be unless there are transgender people running around in stiletto heels. Flying airplanes. That's the implication here.

So anyway, they they have a um the entire month is Pride Month. That's coming up in what, a couple of weeks now. And for for an entire, what, thirty days, we will be forced to celebrate. That's the rule in America. Resistance is futile.

So you're going to have a lot of, you know, grown men.

Some of them probably need to lose twenty, thirty pounds running around buck naked with hairy backs and uh buttless leather chaps. And if you've got a problem with that, well, you're the bigot. You're the homophobe. That's that. Ha ha ha.

And by the way, they always say, How dare you? Who do you think you are? Calling out the hairy men wearing the butless leather chaps. Who do you think you are? That's just bigotry.

You just point out the one person in the crowd wearing the buttless leather chaps.

Well, actually, there are a lot of people. And A lot of parades. And I'm just saying, it's kind of weird. Why can't you just have like, I don't know, a brigade of, you know, LGBT pol people walking in khaki pants and a nice polo shirt? What's wrong with that?

Can you not express your pride without exposing your butt cheeks? That's all I'm asking. That's all I'm asking. Anyway, I've Wow. I Dylan, are you all right?

No, I gotta recover from that one.

So again, it just seems to me that's a pretty logical thing, right?

So, anyway, I click on the link. To the, they have a link, and you never know. You know, you never know what's going to pop up on your screen. Bye, aye, aye, aye, ay. You never know.

So, anyway, they got a whole division in the military now that's dedicated to. The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, that's what it is. And so they have all of these graphics, these posters, that you can order. that you can print out, that you can post in your military barracks.

Well, no no no, don't. There's not any um buttless leather chaps, but But there's some other stuff.

So I clicked on the holiday app. I was afraid to click on the. The sex app. I was afraid to do that. I wasn't sure what that was going to pop up.

But I did pick the religious, religious diversity, faith, cultural, and indigenous celebrations or observances. And ladies and gentlemen, are you aware? Are you aware? That's They celebrate Christmas. Christmas.

You know what the picture is not? There's not a poster, there is not a celebration. for Easter. Easter Sunday, there is no celebration according to the Pentagon. There is there are no Posters or banners or graphics or cards, nothing of that nature.

But you know what there are? Celebrations designated for on this page, ladies and gentlemen. Paganism. Wiccans. Yeah.

They have the they have one Pentagram poster. For Wiccans. Not one but two. Kind of makes you wonder what the heck's going on over in the U.S. military.

Right, 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back. Good to have you with us. This is the Todd Stearns.

You have a middle school out there. And they were telling the students to draw comparisons between Donald Trump and.

Hitwar.

Now, that has really riled a lot of parents and a lot of citizens there in this Oregon community. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Ben Etel is a candidate for the Oregon House District 37. Ben, I appreciate you coming on the program, and you were the first person to expose what was going on here at this school.

So, first, welcome to the show. Second, tell us what happened. I'm sorry, I lost you there. Are you still there? Ben, you're on the air.

Oh, wonderful. Thanks, Todd, for having me on to talk about this issue. I really do appreciate it. All right, Ben, let's get to it. Again, explain to us what happened at this middle school.

Well, so this is this is a middle school in the Tiger Twellaton School District in Oregon. And what happened was, is that a teacher has put out an assignment for in class work That basically was an anti-Semitic, it covered Adolf Hitler's and the Nazi Party's anti-Semitic propaganda.

Okay, so it was just horrific. And then at the very end, and in this entire assignment, Not one time was Donald Trump mentioned. It wasn't about Donald Trump. It was about propaganda. And the teacher had selected.

Nazi Germany's anti Jewish propaganda to to use it as an example. Doesn't mention Donald Trump one single time the entire the entire course, but at the end there's a quiz and it asks the students To determine Who said what quote, Adolf Hitler or Donald Trump?

So it was absolutely outrageous. And the parents are just, you know, completely pissed. I mean, it was just like, are you kidding me? You know, so as soon as that got found, It got forwarded over to Libs and TikTok and they ran it on Twitter and And it's just blown up from there. Of course, this district is in my school, and I have my kids go to the district.

My kids are in public school, I keep them in public school. Um we we are um yeah, we're outraged.

So, has the school responded here? Have they acknowledged that there was a problem with the assignment? No, no, not at all. They don't see a problem with it. And that's the thing.

But people have to understand that what's going on in Oregon is critical, I believe, for everyone in the country to watch because what's happening in Oregon is coming to you. It is coming to you. We are ground zero epicenter of a communist takeover of our country. The Chinese and other foreign actors control our land. They control our legislatures.

The corruption is terribly deep. And this is part of it's part of the deeply ingrained culture of our school district, but we also have mandated diversity, equity, inclusion and all these other far left radical propaganda aspects of our education. And enrollment is down tremendously. In fact, there's been a there's cuts to thirty six to forty billion dollars across the state to school districts. And Tiger twelve school district just announced its second major cut just in the last twelve months of eight point eight million.

And the schools are going bankrupt because parents are pulling their kids from public schools. And now they want the state to issue new property taxes to make up for that difference.

So it's taxation without representation. Dictionary definition. All right. So I want to go back here because as you point out, the Oregon Department of Education, every school district controlled by Democrats.

So what are you recommending that moms and dads and concerned citizens do with the teachers and the administrators and these board members?

Well, if you can't, if taking your kids out doesn't work because then they just tax you more, okay? This is what's happening. The only answer, the only answer is to come out and vote in droves and vote for Republicans in the legislature. Because two years ago, our state legislature, while it was under a Democrat supermajority control, Took away all the Democratic, local Democratic process from school districts across the state.

So the Oregon Department of Education has. absolute control over every single local school district. It was it's unprecedented. I don't think there's anything like it in the country. You can elect a school board, but the school board can't fire anybody, not even the superintendent.

So if the school board passes rules or new processes and the superintendent says, I'm not going to enforce that, the school board can't even fire the superintendent. Only the Oregon Department of Education can.

So it doesn't even matter who we elected to be our school board representatives. I'm curious. You have to vote Republican legislators into office. You have to. All right.

So you wrote this on social media. You said, meanwhile, what we can do. Is humiliate the teachers, administrators, and board members that support this horrific indoctrination.

So, how do we do that?

Well, we we were six there's a large parent group in the Tigers Fallen School District, especially in my town of Towalaton, Oregon, which is just outside of Portland, Oregon. And these parents attacked relentlessly the superintendent when a boy dressed as a girl last earlier in the year beat up a girl very badly. And that was one of the videos that I broke on Twitter. At Ben Edel. You can follow me on Twitter at Ben Edel.

And after that video broke, again, it was shared by Lindsay TikTok and it went around with millions of views. And the parents pushed so hard, and of course I helped them do that, but I was just one of many parents because I am a parent of the school district. And we pushed the the the superintendent so hard that she resigned. Because she just couldn't take the heat. And so, humiliation in calling out the truth, using the First Amendment rights that we have.

Utilize it, utilize it, utilize it. Because these people are really just cowards, they're bullies. When the heat comes onto them, Uh they they run away. Um That's how I think you do it. I think you just continue to expose and continue to expose, and of course, you have to vote.

Republican in the legislature here in Oregon and across the country. I think it's very, very important that people recognize that Um, that this tactic of removing democratic process is part and parcel to communism, which is defined as all power to the state. And that's exactly what we have here in Oregon. Yeah, look, I kind of like this idea, and they're always doing that to the Christians. Uh, they're out there shaming, humiliating, doxing.

Um, if there's an opportunity for people in that community to identify the teacher responsible for this assignment or whoever was responsible, the teacher was forced, we don't know. I suspect the teacher came up with this on their own. But I like this idea.

Well, I do too. I think it really works. And we've had run-ins before at the other middle school. This one was at 20, and I have a child at Hazelbrook. And at Hazelbrook, my stepson, who's 13, was working on a class project.

And there was a girl who decided she was no longer a girl, who he had gone all the way from elementary school with, so this is many, many years, and he referred to her on accident as a she because that's what she has been his whole you know, since kindergarten. And the teacher reprimanded him in front of class and took him out in the hallway. And we went into I went to the principal and I said, if if this happens again, I'm going to take you, the teacher and the district to federal court. It's going to be the worst thing that ever happened to you. Because that's what we do.

I'm a founder of Free Oregon, which is a lawfare group that focuses on. Constitutional rights and civil rights in the state of Oregon. And we've got all kinds of lawsuits across. In federal court, going into SCOTUS right now, in fact. And that teacher was ultimately removed and sent to Guess Where, the other middle school, Twality.

Wow. So it's crazy what happens, but we have to keep the pressure on. And there's a it's a double-edged sword. If you take your kid out of your kids out of public schools, The schools are funded based on their enrollment numbers. But the problem is, is you're then not able to out them and expose what's really happening at the schools.

So in our house, we talk about communism, we talk about what that really looks like and what that really means. And we send our kids in. Um and they come back and bring us information. They record things and and um and and report to us and they get to see firsthand Um what the enemy uh how the enemy Works and lives and does things. And so they're educated on that.

That's our strategy. Yeah.

Well, Ben, I think it's a great strategy, and I'm up against a hard break here, so we're going to have to leave it there. Ben Edel.com. That's B-E-N-E-D-T-L.com. B-E-N-E-D-T-L.com. Running for the Oregon House.

That would be District 37. Ben, we wish you nothing but the best on your campaign, and thanks for exposing this story. Crazy. You're welcome. Thanks for having it on, and thanks for perpetuating it.

All right. There we go. All right. And I have to imagine, you folks in the Salem, Oregon area, you're pretty close to a quality middle school there. And what an insane story.

But I like this idea of humiliating the teachers, administrators, and the board members that are shoving this communist crap down the throats of our kids. I love it. All right. We got to take a break here. 901-260-5926.

Our number. That's 901-260-5926. We'll be right back. All right, just getting this from our friends up on Capitol Hill, we understand the House Judiciary Committee just voted to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. And why is that?

He refused to provide the. Audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hurd's interview. Of President Biden. And in that interview, if, and here's my take on this, folks. If those audio tapes had been released, then I suspect it would have been immediately over for the biting campaign.

It's he beat Dodd.

So, anyway, this now goes before the full Congress, before the House, and the House of Representatives will vote on this. And the question is whether or not the House, the Republicans, will hold firm and hold Merritt Garland. accountable here. And at some point will he be Arrested And I think he ought to be. Our telephone number is 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. Now, tomorrow we're going to jump into something. We don't have enough time to jump into this now, but I will give you a preview of what we will be discussing tomorrow.

So, the gals on the view, the squawking magpies. on the view. many of whom should probably be, you know, at home. Making a sandwich or something. Maybe vacuuming, cleaning the toilets.

But instead, some of these gals are spewing their filth on national television. One of them, by the name of Sarah Haynes. And this does not impact me as a Baptist, but this is going to impact you Catholics out there. And I, and this is a fascinating story. Sarah Haynes on The View says that people, Catholics, who celebrate traditional Latin Mass are extremists.

She says Latin Mass is cult-like and is comparable to to Islam.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, that to me on face at face value sounds like Nothing but unadulterated bigotry against Catholics. That's what that sounds like to me.

So, we're going to jump into more of that on tomorrow's show. But I am telling you. That the knives are out for traditional Catholics. Remember what. What the Kansas City Chiefs player said.

Harrison, um, Um what's it I Thank you, Dylan. Butker, thank you. I want to say Butler, but it's Butker.

So, anyway, Harrison Butker got up there and said that he is a follower of the Latin Mass.

So, is that like a big controversy in the Catholic Church? I've heard rumblings of it every now and again. The Southern Baptist Convention, we're dealing with our own wokeness. As you've got these millennial and Gen Z pastors that are shoving our j our denomination down the path towards liberalism. But I'm wondering, again, is the Catholic Mass, is the Latin Mass really problematic?

901-260-5926. You know, I was um I was signing books last night and trying to catch up on a lot of correspondence. A lot of you folks are sending me notes, and you're reading the book and having a great time in doing so. And I'm so happy for you. And I got a message last night from one of our listeners out in Georgia who was reading, who had been reading the book.

And she sent a note to a friend of mine and said, I'm going to take the B I'm going to I'm going to take the book to Bible study and see if someone wants to read it. I think it's too good not to share. And she actually read the book in one sitting. She says, I've never read a book that fast. I don't finish books usually, maybe two or three.

It takes a while. But she says that she loved it. And anyway, she says, Todd, this is the thread. And she sent me some screenshots from my friend that you signed a book for. I knew that she didn't read very much, but I thought she would enjoy your book.

So I took it to her yesterday morning, about 9:45 a.m. Last night, she texted me that she had read 132 pages and was on chapter 11. I couldn't believe it. This afternoon, she sent me another message, and that's the conversation I just shared with you. She loves the book, to say the least, a five-star review.

I love hearing stories like that. And maybe this week we will open up the phone lines. If you've had a chance to read the book, well, tomorrow's open line Friday. If you've read the book, I would love to hear your thoughts and hear what you think about Twilight's Last Gleaming. Can America Be Saved?

So people reading it are coming away laughing and hopeful and also a little mad. But. But they're laughing and they're hopeful. There's just a smidge of madness and anger in there. And that's all justifiable.

So, I'd love to sign a copy for you. And to do that, go to our website, todsterns.com. And, you know, we've been telling people to go to Amazon and Barnes and Obama. You know, that's fine for the book launch. But now we want to give you an autographed copy of the book.

And the only way to do that is to go to my website, todsterns.com. And we will certainly take care of that for you there. And we turn around those book orders pretty quick.

So as soon as you order, the book goes out the next day. We also have a lot of other great products here as well: our coffee mugs, our tumblers. We have great ball caps and t-shirts and just a lot of stuff for you to enjoy. And we make it all very inexpensive. As a matter of fact, you'll be able to purchase my book cheaper on my website than any other place out there.

So that's pretty cool.

So, again, ToddStarns.com, get yourself a copy of the book. And tomorrow, We'll give you a chance to call in if you've had a chance to read the book, and you can review it live on the air.

So that'll be kind of fun. All right, don't forget, 5 o'clock Eastern, I'm going to have a lot more to say about the Kansas City Chiefs and these attacks on Catholics. Also, the very latest on the House Judiciary Committee voting to hold A.G. Garland in contempt. We'll be talking about that.

5 o'clock Eastern on Newsmax 2. You can watch on YouTube and also Facebook Live. Get out there. Have a great day. You be good, America.
