Olympic Drag Queen Warns Christians: 'We Ain't Going Nowhere'

The new two-part documentary, Trump's Front Row Joes, is the first inside look at Trump's diehard fans. The Front Row Joes are incredible people. Camping out for days to be in the front row at every Trump rally to support their hero. The kind of basis for all the rallies. There's like dead fans.

Trump's Front Row Joes, from executive producer Sean Spicer. You had to love Mr. Donald Trump. Trump's Front Row Joes. Watch it now.

Go to satelnow.com. satelnow.com. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. That's us. That's right.

I love this American ride. Yours and yours alone, but I am not watching and nor will I be promoting the Olympic Games. And the reason why is very simple. And many of you saw what I saw and wished we did not see over the weekend. And one of the things that really concerned me about the images and the visuals, and we're going to get to all of this, and we're going to be taking your calls as well.

One of the things that really bothered me is you've got a lot of families out there. And the kids, they love the competition. They love the sports. You have a lot of young girls that love gymnastics. And so the Olympics has a built-in family-friendly ideology.

At least they used to. At least that's the way it was in the past. And clearly, they have made the decision to go in another direction. And we've all seen the pornography, and it was full-blown pornography, the man with his exposed genitals, the big guy dressed up like Papa Smurf in the blue thong. We saw the morbidly obese chick who was portraying Jesus in the Last Supper tableau.

We saw all of that, and there's really not much else to say. It certainly speaks for itself. All I know is they were on some sort of a boat, I believe. They just need to go ahead and burn the boat. There's not enough Clorox to clean the debauchery off of that boat.

So anyway, we saw the pornography. We saw the paganism with the golden calves. We saw all of that. We saw the perversion. It was just spewing, oozing out of our TV screens over the weekend.

And a lot of people took great offense at that. I have to tell you, it angered me and then it saddened me because these people know nothing about Christianity at all. And so now the Olympics has come out and they've apologized and they said, well, this was really not what you thought it was. No, it was exactly what we thought it was. It really was.

By the way, you've got an Olympic drag queen, one of the Olympic drag queens out there, now saying that we're here and there's nothing you can do about it.

So the Olympics is now all about drag. And I would not be surprised if there is some sort of a gold medal event featuring drag queens or men in thongs or something.

So anyway, someone's been circulating this message. And this guy, he claims to be a pastor. His name is Jacob Whitehead. And this guy, he posted something on his social media, and it's making the rounds. because now the argument among the woke progressive Christians is that you should not be offended.

Christians, you should not be offended. You should smile and you should carry on. Life should go on as normal. You should not boycott. You should wear this as a badge of honor.

And so this guy is, and here's what he wrote. He says, I'm a pastor. I have something to say. Christians that get online and spew hate toward nonbelievers anger me much more than nonbelievers spewing hate towards my religion. In other words, this guy, Jacob Whitehead, is saying, how dare you?

How dare you be offended that they're mocking your faith? How dare you? How dare you be upset that a man is exposing his gentleness to your child on national television? who do you think you are christians i mean that's what the guy is saying here so the guy is now advocating for the drag queens and for the men exposing themselves on national television so the guy says he goes on to say i have no idea what the table at the olympics was supposed to represent really sir you're telling really okay as and he says the official statement contradicts the larger opinion. But what I can say is that every single person at that table would have been been invited to Jesus's table.

Jesus not only spent his time on earth with sinners, he invited them to the very table everyone assumes the Olympic table represents. I'm just going to go out on a limb. This guy probably takes his kids to drag queen story hour down at the local public library, because based on his argument is that we should expose the children and everybody to all of this, to all of this. And I get where he's coming from, but this is a, I truly believe this is a wrongheaded approach here.

So he is saying that Matthew was a tax collector. Peter was about to deny Christ. Thomas was about to doubt his resurrection. Judas was about to betray him. Jesus ate with them anyway.

Okay, that's all well and good, but I don't believe that Peter was wearing a thong, and I don't think Thomas was wearing a dress. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. So anyway, the pastor goes, please allow this to serve as a reminder that people who are not Christians are not our responsibility to regulate. No, but this is why, pastor, that God gave us all remote control, so we can regulate what comes into our homes.

And look, if the pastor here, And this is what kills me, is that the pastor, he's equating any Christian.

So if any of you out there had a problem with what you saw coming out of your TV screen, this pastor is equating you to the people at the Westboro Baptist Church who are out there saying awful, terrible things and boycotting and protesting at the gravesite of military veterans and the whole nine. It's just sickening, just sickening, sir.

So the pastor goes, before you share an angry post or shout at people that Jesus died for, think for a while and ask yourself if he would do the same. To be honest, you already know the answer. He would not. He did not. He died for that.

I'm not saying that Jesus did not die. This guy is so off the mark here. But anyway, here we go. This is how he wraps it up. And he wraps it up by doing the same thing that he's accusing all of you folks of doing.

Because he says, Westboro Baptist sandwich signs should anger you much more than this. Jesus flipped tables on people in the temple, not people outside of it. Remember that. Thank you, Pastor, for those kind words.

So here's my take on it. And I appreciate there is an online tech firm, C Spire, and God bless those folks. They pulled their advertising. By the way, they're based in Mississippi. I did not realize this.

But it does make sense now that I think about it. Anyway, they said, you know what, we're not going to talk. No, no, we don't want to be affiliated. We don't want to be affiliated with that. I mean, and look, if the pastor believes that it's perfectly okay for children to be exposed to naked men painted in blue and all of the bearded men in the dress exposing themselves, okay, I'm not sure that's a church that I want to be at, but okay.

It's America, sir. You can say what you want to say. That's your opinion. But anyway, I am curious, what does this have to do with the Olympics? what does all of this have to do with the Olympic Games?

That's what I want to know. And by the way, you're not even allowed. You may not be aware of this. There's actually a rule. If you're a Christian, you're not allowed to display any sort of religious imagery.

It's all banned from the Olympics. They just want it to be about the sports. And this is why I'm asking this question.

Well, we can't have any political or religious stuff. It's all got to be about the sports.

okay if that's the case then why is there a guy running around powder blue exposing his wee wee could somebody explain that to me what does that have to do with sports well Todd the ancient Greeks used to have orgies okay and we came pretty darn close to having one and I'm telling you a lot of those drag queens that they need to be putting some more clothes on nobody wants to see that nobody so anyway uh you've got this is just terrible folks it's terrible but i do want to say something here and and in all seriousness and and i hope you i hope you hear me um there's going to come a day and this it's going to happen very soon you mark my words there's going to come a day when the islamic radicals finally conquer france they're right in the middle of it right so they're going to conquer france and they will impose sharia law and then at that moment all of those drag queens and all of the blue guys and thongs they're going to understand what it really means to be oppressed by a religion and when that happens and trust me that day will come ladies and gentlemen when all of those demon possessed people that we saw in our TV screens, those people who were mocking Christianity during the opening ceremony, they're going to be begging us, begging us to save them from the rooftops. And you know what's going to happen? In spite of all of the hate that they spewed at the Olympics, in spite of all of the mockery that was on full display for the entire world to see, guess what's going to happen? The Christians are going to be there, and we are going to save those people from the rooftops. We're going to save them from the Islamic radicals because that is the Christian thing to do.

But I'm telling you right now, ladies and gentlemen, what I saw disgusted me. And it just shows you the level of perversion and hate in this world. And it was on full display. We're going to be taking your cause on this. But I'm curious, Christians, you just ignore this well that you know is just the olympics they they love they love the men getting naked and running around you know with their money makers hanging out that's what they do 901-260-5926 that's 901-260-5926 let's go to jessica in north carolina hi jessica what say you Well, listen, I appreciate your passion on how it did bother you what you saw.

I don't watch TV anymore. I can only just hear the aftermath of people watching TV.

So I would just like everyone to try to turn that passion of what they didn't like and use that same energy to speak of their passion of their love of Christ or speak of their passion of their love of a positive attitude.

Okay, we have an opportunity as people who do love those things, and that is to watch the world, representing the world while the whole world is watching television. It's just a sit-and-run peace-on-earth energy or God-love energy. I don't care. If you're going to watch it, don't get competitive as much as friendly competition. We just need to be having the opportunity to inject God's love across the world while you're sitting on the tube watching it.

Instead of getting mad, just pray a little harder. Yeah, I'm not really angry at these people. I'm shocked at the response from a lot of these woke Christians out there who are just like, oh, you should just embrace this. I do not want to embrace a blue guy wearing a thong. That's just not going to happen.

I'm a pretty Christian guy here, but I'm not sure I want to be embracing that. Jessica, I appreciate that call. Let's go to Mary in North Carolina real quick. Hi, Mary. What say you?

hi well i didn't watch the olympics but i saw that was going on via youtube and i think it's disgusting because for a catholic christian the last supper is when the institution of the holy eucharist which is body blood divinity and and um and body blood divinity and one other thing i can't think of right now of jesus was instituted and i thought it was very disrespectful but a lot of my uh church friends sent emails and i saw that this morning there was a formal apology so uh but yeah i have a problem with people just saying oh it's france oh it's the olympics no they want to shove down our throats this transgender thing and we're not having it and that's all there is to it and everybody should stand up and complain All right, Mary, well said. We've got to run for a break here. Mary, thank you for that. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

All right, let's go to the phone lines here. Radio station KYKN.

Ron in Oregon. Hey, Ron, what's going on? I'm going to tell you right now, this Jezebelian jail approving that is very embarrassing. what's happened in France it's no different than what happened in the times of Jeroboam and Rehoboam was really exasperated where God brought his judgment on the ten tribes of Israel on Ahab and Jezebel and Haziah what we're seeing today is basically a disrespect of a renaissance which was founded by God disrespect in France they should be ashamed of John Arcturus gave them the bollocks to save their country and the disrespect where the Statue of Liberty they gave to us after 100 years after Independence Day of a revolution. It's a mockery.

It's a divine, sinful thing. It's the world economic... Ron, did you see the... And I don't know if you saw the... They did some animation.

It was just a weird opening ceremony, and they had the Statue of Liberty, which looked like it had been, you know, partially destroyed. It was hard not to miss the anti-American, anti-Christian sentiment in the Olympic Games. basically what it is is bringing judgment upon our country for those that forsake israel shall be not blessed and for those that forsake the foundings of our faith and their savior which is jesus will bring judgment upon us so get ready for the roller coaster ride because all those invaders that came in our country just like the 16 that is in france since obama's time they will cause division and everything else all right ron ron you gotta leave it there my friend but I appreciate you calling in and I get your look I hear you and I see what this pastor is saying out there um talking about how well you know what uh you've just got to embrace it all I'm and Jesus would would have um you know Jesus will go down to Chick-fil-a with these people I don't I don't know that's true I really don't um you know if if some big blue guy who was butt naked came up to Jesus, I think Jesus would tell him to put some pants on first. It's in the New Testament somewhere. You can look it up.

Let's go to WLOB. You know, we always tell people WLOB in Portland, Maine is Ray Richardson country.

Well, we are honored to have the king of himself on the line, Ray Richardson. Ray, good to have you with us. Hey, God, my friend. Hey, I missed you in Milwaukee, we were looking for you. You know, I was hot on Bundy.

We were looking for a glass of sweet tea, and we knew you'd have it, but I didn't see you there, my friend. Man, I was back in Memphis with a jug of Milo's sweet tea and a big old bushel of homegrown tomatoes.

Well, we definitely missed out then, didn't we? Hey, I heard you talking about what went on in Paris on opening night, and I've also heard many pastors around the country saying, you guys are missing the point, these people would have been welcomed at Jesus' table.

Well, they're right about that. I mean, all the people sitting at the Last Supper were sinners. You know, you had a traitor, prostitute, you had all kinds of people at the table. But that's not the point here. What they're forgetting, Todd, is that they were mocking Christianity, they were mocking a historical event, and, you know, if you mocked my wife, I'd be upset about it.

Well, Jesus Christ is a part of my daily life. He's part of my family. And let's not act like Christ wouldn't have been upset. When he walked into the temple and the money changers were there, he didn't walk up and say, you know, guys, kind of like this is really disgraceful. He overturned the tables and he threw them out of his father's house.

So again, let's just not pretend that Jesus was this passive individual and that he never stood up because he stood up all the time with his life. No, Ray, I think that's a fair point. And again, it's this woke, limp-wristed view of Christianity, and these are the same people who believe that, well, you know what, all religions are going to get you to heaven, that there is no one specific way. And when you really start doing a deep dive into a lot of these folks that are generating these kinds of conversations. They really don't believe the tenets, the basic roots of Christianity.

No, they don't. And unfortunately, many of the people you just talked about are in the politics around the country. Why do you think mainline churches around the country are declining in membership? Because these people talk about the culture, but they don't talk about Christ. People that go to church, and the church that I go to here in Maine, East Point Christian church.

If you don't know Jesus, you will meet him when you walk in the door, and you will hear the good news of his gospel. But so many churches around the country, I mean, we have churches here in Maine, we have a church council organization that believes that Christ would endorse abortion and have said so in public hearings. We've got a lot of people who don't understand who Jesus Christ is, and I hope they meet him soon, because you're right, there is only one path to heaven. It's a very narrow path, but it is available to all people who choose it.

Well said, Ray. Good to hear from you, my friend. I know we're going to be coming up that way soon, and we'll be telling folks about our big visit. But I hope you're doing good. We are doing well up here, and we can't wait to see you, Todd Stern.

All right. Ray Richardson, everybody. WLOB, great, great morning show. By the way, I've got to read this to you. I was going to say, you know, it's bad when Andy Stanley actually calls out and criticizes you.

And he did. Andy Stanley and just a just one of those moments. He said the Normandy American Cemetery is a final resting place of ninety two hundred thirty eight Americans whose graves are marked by ninety two hundred thirty eight crosses. American soldiers who, in most cases, volunteered to come to your shores in your time of need. Their final prayers were to the God whose son you mocked in front of the entire world.

It was during the very meal you went to such creative pains to denigrate that Jesus instructed his followers to love one another and then defined what he meant. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. While you host the Olympic Games, remember your nation hosts a 172.5-acre reminder of what love looks like. You don't just owe Christians an apology. You owe the West an apology.

Tons of people were just stunned that Andy Stanley would write something so poignant. And they were like, wow, this is amazing.

Well, Andy Stanley has now deleted that post.

So there you go. Talk about courage under fire. Jeez, Salou. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to your website, your Google browser, not DuckDuckGo. Go to Google and just type in President Trump, T-R-U-M, just and see what pops up. Because millions of people around the country are now saying that when you type in President Trump assassination, nothing comes up at all, period.

So people are really concerned about this. Elon Musk, a number of members of Congress, including Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Roger Marshall out of Kansas, saying, wait a second, this is something is going on here. Also, a number of people who have posted that iconic photograph of President Trump right after the assassination. You know, the one where he's got the fist in the air, blood streaming down his cheek, the American flag in the background, Secret Service agents surrounding him.

So now Facebook meta is saying that is an altered photograph, that that photograph is not actually real.

Now, this is what you need to understand. There is going to be a full-throated effort by big tech to destroy Donald Trump. They want to do whatever they can humanly do to discourage Republicans, discourage conservatives from getting out and voting. and the work around here, and I will just tell you, X is great. Elon done a terrific job and honestly we would not know a lot of what we know about the assassination attempt had it not been for X So X is a great resource and also toddstearns If you haven already bookmarked our page we update our page daily with stories and information I would encourage you to go and check that out.

But I'm curious, if that's happening with you, are you seeing the Trump, and they're basically erasing Trump from memory. They want to erase the assassination attempt. They want you to forget about it as if it never happened. this is some devious stuff here folks again 901-260-5926 uh we're going to take a break but before we we head off to break i want i want to share something very very important with you um every summer at this time we got to take a little break from politics and the olympics and even breaking news to talk about something that is vitally important and we're very honored to have been asked to participate in this, but we have got to do something to help the poorest of the poor. And we're doing that through our friends at the nonprofit Christian Relief Agency, Food for the Poor.

Across Latin America and the Caribbean, we understand that access to food has been cut off by record-setting inflation, skyrocketing food costs, and these huge natural disasters that have been happening, not to mention the continuing impact of COVID. and nowhere is the crisis more evident than in Nicaragua where food for the poor's Paul Jacobs saw the hunger emergency firsthand. We saw a woman that for 30 years, she had an entire community she advocated for. This was her mission, that every one of these families literally just steps away from the garbage dump where you talk with your mouth clenched because of the flies. It's just horrific.

I can't express it and explain it. You've got to be there to really understand. But this woman, for 30 years, she fought through it to make sure that their little community that you will never find on the map gets noticed because the families need help. They do need help. And that's where you come in.

And we have such a generous audience. There is a Give Life banner up right now at ToddStearns.com where you can make a donation. Or, and this is super simple, you can text my name Todd to 51555. That's text Todd to 51555. and we're going to send you a link where you can make a generous gift.

Now, in the countries where food for the poor serves access to water, a huge problem. Women and young girls sometimes have to walk up to an hour just to collect water, and that water is filthy, and it has to be treated before they can drink it, before they can use it. And by the way, many of these kids, they're getting sick, and the reason why is they're drinking this unclean water.

So your gift of $100 or really any amount is going to bring hope to these children in crisis by providing them a year's worth of food for a child and helping a community gain access to water.

So here's the deal, folks. I need your help, and we're going to start today. Go to ToddStars.com and click on the Give Life banner or call, text your donation to 855-853-4673. That number again, 855-853-4673. And remember, you can also just text Todd to 51555 for a link to help my friends at Food for the Poor.

Hi, Mr. Starnes. I just was thinking, and I'm from Salem, Oregon, so I just wanted to say we're really happy to have you come out. and I was thinking about the Olympics and the LGBTQ plus community and I also remembered that there seems to be a large Muslim influx in Paris, France. I thought, you know, wow, that could really light a fire in Paris from one to the other.

I don't really want to get into religion topics, but I just wanted to hear your take on that.

Well, look, I think that's a great thought, and it is a concern when you look at what's happening in France right now, and the Islamic radicals have taken over large swaths of that country, especially in Paris, where even the police have now put up no-go zones.

So that is just a powder keg. And, you know, I was not being facetious. I was not trying to engage in hyperbole by saying that one day the French and France will fall to the Islamic radicals. I truly believe that. Same thing with Great Britain right now.

They have allowed, and this is what happens when you just open up your borders and you allow all these folks to pile in here. And I'm telling you, this is what Trump has been trying to do. He's been trying to prevent this from happening here in this country, Robert. yeah it's kind of it just amazes me that like on one side they're doing one thing and on the other side they're flaunting it i'm like wow yeah powder keg yes sir a huge huge powder keg all right robert uh god bless you and thank you uh 901 260 5926 robert mentioned uh coming to town that is accurate i'm going to be appearing at the south salem bow and vine burger bar it's an all new restaurant it's going to be a lot of fun our radio station affiliate there kykn is throwing a great lunchtime event uh and trust me folks you're going to love it it's going to be a lot of fun we're going to get you in and out you don't have to take extra time off from work you can spend your lunch hour with a lot of great conservatives in salem oregon uh you're going to enjoy one of the city's best burgers and i hear they are mouth-watering delicious it's going to be a lot of fun also you're going to get a signed copy of my brand new book twilight's last gleaming so here's the deal you've got to go to kykn to get tickets because they've got a i think they have spots for 90 people that's as many as we're going to be able to stuff into the restaurant so you're going to want to head over there now get your tickets it's going to be a lot of fun you're going to have a great meal we're going to have a great time and you're going to be able to watch a great live broadcast as well so that's um wow i think i want to be a part of that so again kykn.com and get your tickets right now for my big book signing and burger event all right coming up we have got some exclusive new reporting on what happened in butler county pennsylvania president Trump says he's going back to Butler County, and I'm telling you, folks, you're going to have 100,000 people at that rally. And that could be the low end of the turnout.

Also, there have been a lot of concerns about J.D. Vance, and I want to address some of those. Fox News over the weekend and Fox News today, they have been attacking J.D. Vance around the clock. and I've expressed some slight concerns, but my issue is this guy is young, he's fairly new to politics, and he is not Donald Trump, so he's going to need some training, he's going to need some coaching.

But all of these attacks on J.D. Vance, understand this, folks, they're saying that J.D. Vance is weird. Really, you want to talk about weird? Let's talk about that freak show over in the Biden administration where they got bald-headed men running around in high heels and pantyhose.

They've got transgender activists taking their shirts off on the White House lawn. Kamala Harris even welcomed bearded drag queens into the vice presidential mansion over the Naval Observatory. But they want to say that J.D. Vance, a married man, a normal guy with a wife and two kids or three kids, rather, that they're the weird ones. And that's that's all you need to know about the Democrat Party, ladies and gentlemen, they think people like J.D.

Vance, a guy who is married, faithful to his wife, and has kids, they think that's weird. You know, I don't have a problem with that. I'd rather be that weird than what they got running around at the White House right now. All right, hang tight. Hour two of the big show coming up, 901-260-5926.

That's us. That's right. I love this American ride. Time starts. Oh, yeah.

All right. Well, hello, everybody. Happy Monday to you. A lot going on this week. Good to have you with us.

Write down our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Again, that's 901-260-5926. so there is brand new video coming out and this is pretty disturbing stuff here folks that shows police were were very much well aware of what was happening at least an hour before the the gunman opened fire on president trump and the trump supporters and abc news also has an exclusive report a local a local SWAT officer uh there in Pennsylvania boots on the ground told ABC News that his team had absolutely no contact with the Secret Service at the rally until after the assassination attempt why is that cut number 16 please we were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers um whenever they arrived and that never happened so i think that that was probably a pivotal point where i started thinking things were wrong because that never happened and we had no communication with the secret service you had no communication with the secret service at all on that saturday not until after the shooting and by then it was too late um none of this makes any sense and every single day that that goes by ladies and gentlemen we get more and more information. As a matter of fact, Congressman Ryan Zinke of Montana now says that he hopes this was not an assassination plot. And it does make you wonder, what the heck is going on?

What exactly happened on that day? It's not just that there were – it's just impossible for there to have this many screw-ups with the security. it's just absolutely unacceptable. Congressman Zinke writing, This week I voted in favor of creating a congressional task force to investigate the shocking security failures that allowed the attempted assassination of former President Trump. I do not trust an internal investigation to share the real story.

As a former Navy SEAL officer who set up protection for heads of state in war zones and as a former pro-tactee i know what proper tactics protocol and procedures should look like and there were at least a dozen failures revealed on publicly available video alone these are very concerning issues and ladies and gentlemen i'm curious if you share those concerns it seems as though we're getting to a point where the secret service whatever they were up to on that day they didn't even want local law enforcement to be aware of it so again now you've got more members of congress that are standing up and saying um this does not look good this does not look good at all and i'm not sure we're going to get to the bottom of it while the democrats still control the u.s senate and the white house 901-260-5926 is our number that's 901 260-5926. In the meantime, there is a lot of angst about Senator J.D. Vance, and I've shared with you last week you had people like Ben Shapiro, Jenna Ellis, Tommy Lahren, many others.

Now I think just about every Fox News anchor, they're all very concerned about J.D. Vance and whether or not he is going to be a help to Donald Trump. And of course, what they're doing is they're going back and they're looking at every single thing J.D. Vance said. And you can expect more of this to happen as we get further and further on down the road with presidential elections.

They're going back to when this guy was in college. There's a photo circulating, which was very clearly some sort of a costume party with a wrestling theme, and he was dressed as what Nikita Koloff had the little t-shirt with the Russian hammer and sickle. And now they're saying, oh, he's a secret Russian plant. He's a commie. And they're taking a lot of things that Vant said in the past, and they're using his words against him.

And you know what? The Republicans do the same thing. but what gets me here is how unprepared the Republican Party is in response to all of this. They should have things ready to go right at the moment's notice. And one of the challenges here is that when you do have to start explaining what you meant, you've already lost the argument.

You already have. But the reality is that people are scared of J.D. Vance on the Democrat side, and you want to know why? because J.D. Vance, this is the guy that they have castigated this guy, but here's the guy that they actually want to vote as a Democrat, somebody who grew up dirt poor, somebody whose family's been through really difficult times, circumstances, no money, a kid who grew up in the Rust Belt, and they're wanting those kinds of voters.

But what they don't understand is that they are driving voters away, and J.D. Vance is possibly going to bring those voters to the Republican Party. I have been very impressed and somewhat surprised by the number of young people, especially young males, who say they are going to be voting for Donald Trump.

Something very interesting about that. All right, let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926. James in Minnesota. What's on your mind, James?

Hey, man, I need help. I'm under assault from a Trump hater.

Okay, well, what can I do to help you? When Trump was speaking at this conference with Christians, I don't know the name of it, with Charlie Kirk. The Believers Conference, yeah.

Okay, the Believers. Multiple times, he said, vote for me this time and you'll never have to vote again.

Well, he said...

Sounds like a dictator for life. No, no, no, no, no. James, within the context, this was a joke. He was talking to the Christians, and he said it one time, and when you listen to it in full context, you can tell he was making a joke, and people laughed.

Well, you know, Trump haters will take it how they want to take it, so you can stab me with it.

Well, yeah, I reckon they will, but, you know, again, go back. We looked at it, and I'm just telling you, Trump said that minute as a joke. And, you know, these Trump haters, they're, it's sad to say, James, but many of the Trump haters, they don't have a sense of humor. And that's tragic. Oh, yeah.

Well, it's just like part of you and I, if we were trying to win an argument, we'll take anything they say and take it out of context if we can, probably. What do you mean?

Well, I mean, when I argue with people, I'll take anything they say that is on my side and say, you said this.

So even if I love it, there might be some varied context to it.

Well, we don't do that on this program, James, and I'm not sure why you should do that because we have the truth on our side, and I feel pretty confident in my beliefs and my policies and ideologies. I have no need to take anything the Democrats say out of context. James, appreciate the call. Don't understand that one, folks. Speaking of that, oh, I've got to share this story with you.

So the left, I was anchoring, what's it? Oh, Saturday.

So we had a lot of guests on the pre-show. Trump was running about 90 minutes late.

So we had a lot of time to talk. And we actually raised an issue about what this campaign is going to be framed as. Kamala Harris is horrible. And the Democrat Party insiders are freaking out over this. Right now, everybody's getting behind her, but I'm telling you, they are very concerned about Kamala Harris.

And so much so that James Carville is out there warning people it's about to get brutal. They're about to go savage on Kamala.

So what they've tried to do is insulate her. And the way they do that is they say, okay, well, if you criticize Kamala, you're either a sexist or you're a white supremacist. You're a racist. and that's what they're trying to do so we talked about this and the the liberals went bonkers over this little bit of conversation cut seven uh there is going to be an effort to to portray anybody who opposes her as either being sexist or or racist what does the campaign do how does how does the trump campaign get ahead of all of that look i think that this whole deni token hire of Kamala Harris has already been exposed. Yep, there you go.

It has been. And she is a token hire. I mean, I'm not sure why they're running away from that. They were bragging about it. They were boasting about it.

Well, we're only going to be looking at women of color. That's all we're going to be looking at. When I get ready to put a justice on the Supreme Court, I'm only going to be looking at black females that's that is a dei mentality right there i mean it really is so look over this morning um and i want to give you another example of this on the morning show on kwam uh there was some great audio from a guy by the name of justin pearson he is a a state representative. And this guy is just such a loser.

So he's a blank dude. And he was, he grew up in a very nice, well-to-do middle-class home, was educated at Bowdoin College. And you folks in Maine know about Bowdoin, right? And it's, I mean, it's a big dollar school. And so the guy comes back here, he actually spoke more like a white person than I do.

Very well-spoken. And so then he had almost a shaved head, close-cropped hair, really put together coat and tie. And now he is running around town with this power afro, preaching like MLK and as if he was fresh out of Kenya with the garb. It makes no sense. You're like, wait, who are you?

And he's out there making everything about race. And he's talking with this fake dialect. I mean, basically, Justin Pearson is doing blackface as a black person. And he's really upset at all of you white folks.

So before we get to his comments, let me back up and explain something. The Democrats right now are trying to bolster Kamala's black street cred. They don't think that she's black enough.

So they're doing all these videos. and these videos show Kamala Harris talking about how much she loves collard greens and how she loves collard greens so much that she um she went to this she she was out in South Carolina on a campaign event and she bought her she bought some collard greens and brought them on the airplane with her and she cooks these collard greens and she prepares them in a bathtub that's disgusting and then the other day they filmed her coming out of a music store where she just happened to buy all of these albums by black musical artists, including the musical soundtrack to Porgy and Bess. You can't make this up. And by the way, Mitt Romney, the Republicans do the same thing. Mitt Romney, when he was down in the deep South, he went on and on and on about how he loved grits and how he loved fried chicken.

And then he commits to sit down. He had a big old plate of fried chicken and Mitt Romney just ripped the fried chicken skin off and threw it aside. He discarded the fried chicken skin and started using a knife and fork to eat the chicken. I mean, who does that? This is the South, sir.

You eat the skin. You don't discard it. Kind of a culinary sin is unbelievable.

So anyway, Mitt Romney was trying to prove to people that he was like Southern. It didn't work. I'll give you an example. Donald Trump comes down to Mobile, Alabama. He's going to eat fried chicken.

You better believe he's going to eat all of it. Donald Trump is the same Donald Trump down in Georgia as he is in New York that's who Donald Trump is and the reason why Trump is like that is he's comfortable in his skin Kamala Harris wants you to think that she goes around the Naval Observatory cooking collard greens and baking sweet potato pies and it doesn't happen so anyway we've got a race here in Memphis Tennessee, and they're now comparing this to Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris. We have this very sweet lady. Her name is Lisa Arnold. She's a white Republican, 30 plus years working in this particular office, and now she's running to be the head of this office.

Very well qualified. The person on the other side is a black radical Democrat who literally is on the record hating white people and also hating police, puppies. I mean, it's terrible. I'm not making this up. She's a horrible person, a flat-out racist.

Her name is Tammy Sawyer.

So anyway, the Democrats up here are very upset because a white person is actually running for office in Memphis, Tennessee. And here's what the guy literally said. We're here because the racist Republican Party in Shelby County can't help themselves. That's right. Can't help themselves from being sexist.

They can't help themselves from being racist. They can't help themselves from the misogyny war that continues to proliferate across Shelby County. But we're not standing for it because we believe that the person that's most qualified for this position is Tammy Sawyer. Yeah. We know that she has fought for our community.

We know that she has stood up for our community. We know that she served our community as a county commissioner. I worked with her to stop two billion dollar corporations from destroying Memphis's drinking water and taking black folks land. She is the right person for this position at the right time. But what we are up against is also real.

These systems of injustice show up in the faces of white folk who telling us we can't govern ourselves. White folks telling us that black women don't deserve to leave. And so now in this historic moment in time where we have a black woman who's leading the ticket for president of the United States, we also have a black woman who's leading the ticket for general sessions court court. And just like we're talking about protect black women, we need to protect black women. We need to ensure that black women are positions of leadership and we need to ensure that our voices show up at the polls.

It's not enough for us to hope that we win this election. everybody needs to go and vote early in this election to make a very clear statement that we are not yielding we are not bowing down we are not being my man my brother let me let me drop some knowledge on your brother pearson uh first of all it turns out that an overwhelming number of elected positions are held by black democrats in memphis tennessee for decades mayors black police chief black most of the city council black school board black county commission black county mayor black every one of our city's institutions top to bottom controlled by blacks and by the way black democrats and by the way mostly black women so what you be talking about justin pearson what you be talking about sir they're upset because a white woman may actually get elected to memphis Tennessee, and they believe that is somehow evil. But by the way, and again, a little bit of knowledge drop here. The Republican Party in Memphis, Tennessee was founded by a black man, and the whole purpose of that was to register black people to vote.

So back in 1916, Republicans were registering black people to vote while Democrats were running around in bedsheets burning crosses in front yards. Let that sink in. Gotta take a break.

You had to support Mr. Donald Trump's re-election. Trump's Front Row Joes is the new two-part documentary offering the first inside look at the men and women standing shoulder to shoulder with Trump in the greatest political movement in American history. The kind of basis for all the rallies. There's like dead fans.

Front Row Joes! Like-minded people following their hero all around the country, exhausting their bank accounts, camping out for days in the freezing cold and scorching heat to support Trump's re-election and make America great again. The Front Row Joes are very successful, incredible people. Trump's Front Row Joes. From executive producer Sean Spicer, former White House press secretary and communications director for President Donald J.

Trump. Friendships I've made over the years as a Front Row Joe, it's probably the best part of it. Don't miss Trump's Front Row Joes. Watch it now. Go to SalemNow.com.

Todd, good to be with you.

Well, let's talk about some of the big stories coming out. Of course, a lot of controversy over the weekend surrounding the attempted assassination of President Trump. We now understand that big tech is curtailing or gas. I don't know. Are they just erasing it, Congressman?

These are very disturbing reports we're hearing. It is disturbing. And I went on one of those search engines, which shall remain nameless. It ends with Google and tried to key in Trump assassination attempt or assassination attempt Trump and nothing came up. They provided no suggestion to finish off the search term, as it were.

So they are trying to rabbit hole this thing. I've been told that the photo of the iconic photo of Trump with his fist raised is not as available as it once was either.

So I haven't gone and tried to search for that. But but it doesn't surprise me. The left is always trying to use technology to achieve their political ends. And here the it doesn't fit their narrative that Trump would survive this assassination attempt in a way that is heroic. and actually improves his poll standing vis-a-vis the Democrats.

You know, it seems to me when you look at what they're doing and what's happening right now in Venezuela, where you're watching an election that's literally being stolen right before our very eyes, there are a lot of similarities, Congressman, and that's disturbing to me. It is disturbing when the left tries to not only just win the election by using their friends in the technology sector to help them, but it's a repeat of what they've done in the past.

So they admit to using technology, to using the media, to using big tech, to steer voters to the conclusions that they want, not to give them the information in an unbiased way and let the voters make the decisions for themselves. That's what the news used to be. It's not that way anymore. It hasn't been for some time and isn't likely to be here in the lead up to November.

So I'm curious, your thoughts on the presidential race now that President Biden's dropped out, Kamala Harris has yet to name her VP. There are a lot of names being floated about. I'm not sure it's going to make that much difference. Do you, Congressman? Not a bit.

Vice presidential picks rarely make a difference. And I think that she can go one of two ways. She can either go with somebody who's not going to reinforce the Biden-Harris agenda, the destructive policies that have been in place over the past four years, or they can go with somebody that doubles down and essentially says, yes, these are the policies that we want. And my guess is she's going to pick a yes man, as it were, and somebody who just agrees with everything that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been about for the past several years. The fact that Kamala was the border czar also seems to be disappearing from the media, as we were talking about just now.

And her failed attempts at the border, her failure to rein in inflation, her failure on the global scene is going to really dominate the news over the next several months, not who she picks for vice president. Congressman, I'm curious. New text messaging coming out that seems to blow the lid off what police knew about that threat at the Trump rally. I know you guys got zero answers out of the Secret Service. the FBI director suggesting that Trump wasn't even shot, and now we know the FBI walked back those comments.

Are you concerned, like some of your colleagues, that there may be something else going on here? Yes, and that's why we are setting up our own investigation. We're not going to trust the FBI to run this investigation after what they've done regarding parents' rights in northern Virginia, Catholics' ability to profess their faith in Richmond, putting them under investigation. The FBI, Russiagate hoax, you name it, the FBI has been trying to deliver the wrong investigatory message to the American people.

So the Speaker just appointed a number of Republicans, all solid Republicans, to a committee to investigate, led by Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania, but Mark Green, who's chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, Dave Joyce, Laurel Lee, who's on judiciary with me, Michael Waltz, who's a classmate of mine, Clay Higgins, and Pat Fallon, all good Republicans who will get to the facts and make sure that the FBI doesn't pull one over on the American people.

Well, I hope that you guys are able to get to the bottom of all of this, but it's just troubling to think the unthinkable could have happened here. And I certainly hope that is not the way it all went down. But when you look at these massive security failures, I just don't see how they could have missed all of this. I really don't. It is pretty shocking.

And it sends a terrible message, not just to our friends, but to our enemies and our adversaries that there are gaping holes in security. And I'm amazed that the president is going back to Pennsylvania to the same site, to the same town, not maybe not the same site, but to the same town in Pennsylvania to give a rally because, you know, he just doesn't quit. and he knows that Pennsylvanians deserve a president who's going to look out for them. Working men and women across this country deserve a president who's going to look out for them, and that is Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as his vice president.

They're both going to do a great job. Congressman, real quick here before we let you go, I want to get your thoughts on what we saw in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Disgusting. Disgusting. It doesn't surprise me that these anti-religious zealots around the world, and they're not just leftists here in the U.S., they're leftists in France, they're leftists all over, and they're trying to mock and defame Christians and the faith that has really built Western civilization.

And for France, which has long been a bastion of religious faith for the church, to mock Christianity and the Last Supper like that is just disgusting. And the American people are so tired of it. I want to watch the Olympics with my children. And it's stunts like that that make it hard to do. You have to watch it on a delay almost.

Well, no doubt about that. Congressman, we're going to have to leave it there. Appreciate you coming on the show today. Thank you. Thanks, Todd.

All right. And here we go, folks. Again, Congressman Ryan Zinke from Montana saying that there is a concern that the Biden administration might have actively plotted to put Trump in the line of fire. Of course, the congressman previously served as the secretary of the interior, but was later forced out. But here's what he said on Maria Bartiromo's show over on Fox.

Here's what it boils down to. We know there was negligence. We know there was incompetence. We know there was a break of protocol, communications, et cetera. But was this incompetence willful and knowing?

That's what I want to know. Did you willingly and knowingly put the president in a position where security was not strong enough? That's a good question. he said that, he said, look, if it was knowing and you knew for a fact that your lack of security and bringing it down would put the president at risk, that brings it from an assassination attempt into the area of a plot. A big difference between an attempt and a plot, and we're going to find the answer to that question.

And I hope they do. All right, let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926. bill in cordova tennessee wants to weigh in on that racist state lawmaker hide bill what's on your mind hey todd i'm gonna say something that i don't think justin pearson's gonna like and probably not some of the others like jesse jackson all of them but he's figured out how to make money off of racism that's why he's doing what he's doing i will guarantee you all of them are doing this because if you keep the pot stirred up, you're going to make money. That's the mantra among them.

Al Sharpton and all of them are doing the exact same thing, and they've all figured out how they can get rich off the backs of black people who don't understand what they're doing and what's happening to them. Yeah, I think that's a fair observation here, Bill, and they certainly are making money off of it. I mean, Al Sharpton has made millions, millions of dollars by race baiting and he's never held accountable and what really angers me about that is you've got people on fox news right now well-known primetime host that will socialize with al sharpton when the cameras are turned off i've got a problem with that al people like al sharpton and the justin pearsons of the world are very bad dangerous evil people and they're and and pearson ought to know better, knowing that he grew up in an upper middle class family, went to a private school, and was afforded opportunities that many young people, black and white, would not be afforded. Exactly, but he's doing it for money, so that just kind of eliminates all of his background, all of his education, all of his training. It's all about the dollars.

I forget what Lydia called it but it was uh it was a very good phrase she said and i can't think what it was now all right well bill appreciate the call thank yeah thank you for listening sir let's go to tom in georgia hi tom what's on your mind good afternoon todd uh i've been hearing stories on your show and elsewhere that uh the search engines do not provide too much on uh our president trump and I'd like to give some advice about that. There's a place that if you do a search, like I did, a 1954 Webster's Dictionary, page 1962, here is the definition. A person upon whom one can depend. And then in the persona, outside of the persona, it's of superior quality and outrivaling all others.

Now, that's a better definition than using Google.

Well, yeah, I would say so. That's a pretty darn good definition. And I looked in other dictionaries, and it does say pretty much the same thing. Once you get past card game stuff, you know, that's interesting. All right.

I was looking for something else, and I had to run across it. I thought you might get a kick out. I sure did.

Well, thank you very much for that, Tom, and thank you for listening to us. Got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

This is the story of the one. As a maintenance engineer, he hears things differently. To the untrained ear, everything on his shop floor might sound fine, but he can hear gears grinding or a belt slipping.

W-O-C-A, Ocala, Florida. Great, great radio station.

Sonny on the line. Hi, Sonny. What's going on? What's on your mind? Talk to me.

Hi, Todd. We're losing our country on a daily basis between the loser left and the unelected bureaucrats and other people associated with the left, like we know who the big name is, but Soros, I'll mention it. They're taking our country apart, and we get nothing going the other way. To me, we got to go along to get along Republicans. they impeached trump twice and we can't impeach this illegal occupant of the white house once and i say illegal because he should have his nomination should have been challenged after that uh televised statement of his you better get rid of that prosecutor or you're not getting your uh billion dollars of aid to the you know to ukraine by the way by the sunny by the way uh there was an interesting story and now that you bring that up over the weekend a seymour hirsch and seymour is a is a far leftist uh he's a journalist and he's very well connected so he's not a conservative is what i'm trying to get at here and there is an interesting story out over the weekend And he's been talking to people inside the Biden White House.

And he is now, his sources are telling him that it was Barack Obama who gave Joe the choice. You can either drop out of the race or we're going to tell Kamala to invoke the 25th Amendment.

So you're looking at Joe Biden, who is basically blackmailed by Barack Hussein Obama. This all needs to be investigated. You know, every president from George Washington on, if they didn't die in office, when they finished their terms, they went home. With the sole exception of Barack Hussein Obama, who bought a mansion, a $10 million mansion, five blocks away from the White House. And then he buys another $14 million estate up in Martha's Vineyard.

Martha's Vineyard who says crime doesn't pay this is unbelievable this guy doing his presidency gave Iran all kinds of money 175 billion plus all kinds of other aid and it's still going on the present document of the White House gave him 10 billion plus more aid for what and then they're yelling and screaming because we want to uh the americans want to support israel we don't have too many americans in this country and there's damn few too many in washington they're all uh corrupt in my book sunny we got to leave it there my friend but i hear your frustration uh but it's a good question and you know again biden not impeached kamala Harris not impeached either. I want to share some information with you coming out from Speaker Mike Johnson. He just announced the Republicans who are going to serve on the bipartisan House Task Force. This is going to be the group that investigates the attempted assassination of Trump. And I want to run down these names real quick here.

Congressman Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania, he actually represents Butler in Congress. Our good friend Congressman Mark Green, who was a former Army major, combat vet, and ER doctor, also chairman of Homeland Security. Congressman Dave Joyce, an attorney, county prosecutor. Congresswoman Laurel Lee, who is a former judge and former Florida Secretary of State. Congressman Michael Waltz, Congressman Clay Higgins, and also Congressman Pat Fallon.

So that information just now coming out from Speaker Mike Johnson's office. and we'll try to find out who the Democrats are. The Democrats are wanting to put Benny Thompson on. He's the Democrat out of Mississippi who actually wanted to remove President Trump's Secret Service detail. That guy's got no business being anywhere around a committee like this.

Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, It's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. That's us. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starr.

Oh, yeah. You know what I find fascinating about this whole Kamala Harris thing? She's all about DEI, this gal. And they're talking about how Kamala is so inclusive. but in reality this woman is sort of hearkening back to a racist age in american history she's been hosting these events sort of um that there was a black women for kamala a few nights ago and then they had the black dudes and now they're literally hosting another event tonight we're going to try to get we're going to try to see if we can't sneak in uh to this dylan what are your plans for this evening you've got nothing going on all right can we get you like a fake man bun is that possible i could just grow it out some birkenstocks well it used to happen pretty quickly well yeah let's get the fake one all right hi hi i'm dylan so glad to be here uh it's called white dudes for harris and so they're doing this whole big virtual meeting and they say over 10,000 white men from across the country are going to be in on this call.

And the according to the there's like a form you can fill out to join. And here's here's what it says.

So all of you white guys out there, if you're interested in going, we need to get somebody to infiltrate. What's Dieter doing? He's always free in the evening time. Maybe we can get Dieter. He kind looks liberal he can pass off as a liberal anyway here's what they say here for the white dudes for harris event tonight together we aren't going to sit around and let the maga crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology because we understand that under maga everyone loses.

We know that as white dudes, we have both strong and positive roles to play in America's shared future. And it begins with all of us cutting through the MAGA crap and, ooh, I said a dirty word, MAGA crap and reminding the folks who have co-opted American symbols what america actually means you know what i got a symbol for you pucker up pal so you know this is fascinating um and the uh the the logo is like a john deere tractor head except it's black and white and the the it's got a little patch that says white dudes for harris wow why are we segregating i don't understand why are they segregating everybody over the democrat side of it what's going on there so uh according to fox here the meeting for white dudes is set to occur after separate virtual gatherings for white women oh god could you imagine being on that call man there is there's not a there's not enough liquor in the cabinet for that um here we go so anyway uh black women black men other demographic specific calls um are going to be held as well, including the South Asians for Kamala Harris and LGBTQ, which basically should be covered by the straight white dudes call today. I'm thinking it's going to be pretty light on testosterone.

So there you go. Can you imagine, can you imagine nothing more, nothing more radical than self-loathing white guys? you know these guys are the ones who apologize for being white right remember remember when all that was going down when you had all the white guys i just i just want to confess my whiteness to you and i know it's a horrible sin can you ever forgive me that was terrible among the speakers it's gonna it is a who's who of beta males uh you've got mark hamill he was the guy on star wars it turns out his lightsaber was not that large after all then you've got uh secretary of transportation p putty juice and a pencil neck chef cheese really this is terrible but the highlight is one of the stars of frozen the broadway musical josh gad so classic dude right there oh it's it's just oozing of dude-ness oozing of dude-ness his voice is higher than a lot of females it's true it's sort of off-putting anyway people are saying this is going to be racist and cringy and it very well may be speaking of racist and cringy have you heard this uh the drag queens are now singing kamala harris love songs cut number 19 She can get bills passed in Congress that'll protect me and you. Black, white, Latino, Asian, or LGBTQ. She can get this country back to where we can stand tall.

Keeping us safe from harm without building a wall. Because she's a woman. I want you all. M-A-N. I'll say it again.

She's a woman K-A-M-A-L-A Woman That doesn't make any sense. Shanklin could help him out there maybe a little bit. All right, so the drag queens are singing. Oh, here you go. This is an AI parody of Kamala Harris and a Kamala Harris campaign ad.

Cut five, please. I, Kamal Harris, and you're a Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility of the debate. Thanks, Joe. I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I'm both a woman and a person of color.

So if you criticize anything I say, you're both sexist and racist. I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that's a good thing if you're a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor joe biden joe taught me rule number one carefully hide your total incompetence i take insignificant things and i discuss them as if they're significant and i believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant talking about the significance of the passage of time right the significance of the passage of time so when you think about it there is great significance to the passage of time and there is such great significance to the passage of time. Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanzaa, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression.

So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump tight And okay look maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking The United States shares a very important relationship which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring. And just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been, I mean, Joe Biden. Do you think the country went to shit over the past four years?

You ain't seen nothing yet. Gillette. Very clever, actually.

So I don't mean to unnecessarily alarm the vice president of the United States, but there is an interesting story about her husband that I want to bring to your attention. This is from the L.A. Slimes, the newspaper of record there in Los Angeles. And, wow, we're about to go down a rabbit hole, and I'm not quite sure we want to go down. But anyway, second gentleman, Doug Inhofe, Dougie, shocked a couple of thousand gay and queer black men backing his wife for president when he made a guest appearance on an organizing call Thursday night.

Now, Mr. Inhofe promised that Kamala would be there for the gay community as she has been in the past. And he said, and I want to just, this is the quote coming from the L.A. Slimes, as it relates to this wonderful, beautiful community of black gay men, she has always been beside you, with you, has had your back, and will always have your back, just like she's going to have everyone else's back. emhoff told a story of being caught by surprise by president biden's announcement that he was dropping out of the presidential race um and here's where it gets interesting now you would have thought that mr enhoff actually resides in the naval observatory there in washington dc but in fact he is in los angeles and mr inhoff said that he was in los angeles with a gay couple taking a one hour soul cycle class in west hollywood now i'm not going to judge the first dude but i'm just wondering why the first dude is taking soul cycle classes in West Hollywood, California.

And if you want to know what goes down in West Hollywood, I would just encourage you to Google it if they allow those searches to come up these days.

So that's how Mr. Emhoff says he found out that his wife was going to be running for president while he was in a SoulCycle class in West Hollywood. By the way, Mr. Emhoff also joined the black gay and queer men for harris phone call about 20 20 250 people on the call and he was palling around with a number of prominent black queer men including cnn anchor don le mans so there you go you've got that going for you 901-260-5926 is our telephone number that's 901-260-5926 so Kamala has been questioning J.D. Vance's loyalty to America and I am so happy to hear how J.D.

Vance actually responded to all of this and how he handled this really ugly, ugly attack on his character.

Now, I saw the other day Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That's the word she used, loyalty. And it's an interesting word, Semper Fi, loyalty, because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border. And I'd like to ask the Vice President, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps.

I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country. And my running mate took a bullet for this country.

So my question to Kamala Harris is, what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?

now i'm just going to tell you right here folks that's a vice president if jd vance can get out there and he can have that sort of intensity and focus then he is he is going to make a huge impact my recommendation stay away from the diet mountain dude jokes and all that kind of stuff these are serious times that demand serious people and that version of J.D. Vance is the one that I can get behind and support. All right. Got to take a break here. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. So a new Reuters study is out and Reuters is now saying Newsmax is one of the top news brands in America.

Forbes magazine says Newsmax is a news powerhouse and I absolutely agree so head over right now to Newsmaxinvest.com all right welcome back everybody good to have you with us let's go to the phones It's 901-260-5926. Mike in North Carolina wants to weigh in on the second dude.

Hey, Mike, what's going on? Hey, good afternoon, Todd. I'm listening on Smart Radio WTKF over here in eastern North Carolina. Longtime listener, first-time caller. You know, I was struck by the comment you made about the second gentleman living separately from his wife, Kamala, in their home in California.

And perhaps you saw it, but the Wall Street Journal this past weekend published an article about their investments and their financial disclosure. And in it, it said the second dude is a visiting professor at my alma mater, Georgetown University, for which he's paid $175,000. And it got me thinking, California, Washington, D.C., it's not just a metro ride away. I wonder how many hours a week or a month the second dude actually is sitting in a classroom teaching at Georgetown University. And then after that, office hours, for which he paid $175,000.

It just seems a little odd to me. I'd like to know your thoughts.

Well, kind of like Joe Biden there being a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, or the millions of dollars that these Democrats are paid to write books, and the publishing companies never can recoup their money, their investment. I mean, it's all a racket. It's all a game, Mike, and you're wise to point that out. I don't know. To be honest with you, I don't know how they're doing it or what the point of all that is, but I can tell you this right now.

We're going to get to the bottom of it, and James Carville is on to something. James Carville is very nervous about something that's about to come out about Kamala Harris. We don't know what that is just yet, but he is very nervous. He's been sounding the alarms now for about a week or so.

So we'll see how all this plays out. But again, I still believe that when November comes around, it will not be Kamala Harris on that ballot. Mike, appreciate the call, and thank you for listening. All right. There is some new intel.

This is from Breitbart. The honeymoon's over. where Kamala Harris lowers expectations for 2024 Democrat performance. And we knew this was going to happen. I was fielding calls, even yesterday at church, people were coming.

I was, Todd, we're really concerned about the polling data. And I'm like, don't worry about the polls right now, folks. We're in the honeymoon phase.

Well, the honeymoon phase is coming to a close quicker than anybody expected. And now Harris is going to have to defend her radical left record. And let me say this in a word of caution to all of you Republicans out there. Forget about whether or not she's black or Indian American, all right? Don't worry about that anymore.

Don't worry about the female stuff. All you need to be focused on is her radical left-wing agenda, her policies, the policies that she has fully embraced. That's what we need to be looking at here. Don't worry about all the other stuff. just focus on her record.

And if you're able to do that, then you are going to win over people. I'm telling you, a lot of black guys, a lot of black guys in this country are not supporting Kamala Harris. They see through her. I mean, they see exactly what's going down with her. Anyway, a lot of big problems.

One Democrat senator says we need to be very clear eyed and it's going to be brutally tough. Only 39% of registered independents say Harris is qualified to be president. That's brutal. 39%. All right, hang tight.

We're going to your calls, 901-260-5926. Head over to ToddStarns.com, folks. Food for the poor. We have a big red banner at the top of the page. Click on that and help us out as we begin raising money for kids in need.

We'll be right back. all right so the new york times now suggesting that kamala hold off on picking a vp until the last possible second and they want to keep the republicans guessing uh there's been a lot of talk that it could be Mark Kelly out of Arizona or Josh Shapiro out of Pennsylvania.

However, CNN says that Shapiro might hurt their chances of winning the Muslim vote in Michigan. That's according to CNN. And there's also another name that's being floated around, and that would be Governor Waltz, Tim Waltz, who is the governor of Minnesota. and the the the new york times says let's wait let's wait until the last second and as a matter of fact one of the suggestions is that for the next 100 days she should effectively choose all three as potential running mates now this is going to be interesting because trump is under fire right now for refusing to debate kamala harris but he's not refusing to debate her He's simply refusing to debate the person who is not the official nominee of the party yet. And that has to happen at the Democrat convention.

That's what's going on there.

So I think Trump is smart to do that. He was I mean, it was supposed to be Joe Biden. They decided to stage a coup and remove Joe Biden. And now they've got Kamala. But there's no guarantee she's going to be lasting the distance.

All right, let's go to the phone lines here. downtown ricky brown listening to us on wtjs in tennessee and downtown i understand you you're you've got something that you've got to you've got to be in your bonnet well absolutely shane uh todd it's always great to hear from you we love you here in jackson tennessee and when i heard the lbgt prisoner voice come through earlier and i'm sure those folks are going to show up uh and and And, you know, rightfully so. We've got some characters here. The local LBG group here is strongly for Harris.

So I think that speaks for itself. And if that's the path you want to go down in this country, certainly you should support Kamala Harris. But I do, you just broke something there that I hope, Carmel, I hope. And, you know, he's a pretty straight shooter, I've found him over the years. And if he's got something that's going to break soon on Harris, then all for it.

There's no question in my mind, Tennessee will go strong for President Trump. And I think we're looking at a 40-state or more sweep. Todd, what do you think?

Well, could be. And if you go back to, if you look back in history, It was 1976 was the last time that the Republicans lost in Minnesota. It was the election before that in 72. That was, I think, Nixon won Minnesota. From that point on, Democrats have taken every single presidential race in Minnesota.

I think we could see Donald Trump even winning Minnesota. I think everything is in play right now. One of the things that I'm hearing here locally quite a bit, and I retired from a union shop, the Transit, I made the International Union. And one thing I'm hearing more and more from them is they've seen how Biden handled the oil triggers. The first thing he'd done in office was cost about 60,000 jobs in this country, good-paying, hard-working American jobs.

And I think one of the first things that the Trump administration and Vance and everybody's saying, we're going to put those people back to work. And I really hope and pray and encourage our organized labor throughout Tennessee and this country. Do what's best for the jobs and the country and get by all these smoking mirrors of these people that continue to assassinate our country and should be brought to justice. I always enjoy it.

Well, thank you for that, Downtown Ricky Brown. Appreciate you calling in. I thought he had something critical to say about yours truly, but it looks like Downtown was right on the money, as always. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

I want to play some audio here. A lot of folks, and again, the media is trying to memory hole a lot of the stuff that Kamala Harris said back in the day, but we always keep the receipts around here. First of all, here is Kamala Harris talking about comparing ICE, those ICE agents, to the KKK. Cut 13. The Klan was what we would call today a domestic terrorist group.

Why? Why would we call them domestic terrorist group? Because they tried to use fear and force to change political environment. And what was the motivation for the use of fear and force? It was based on race and ethnicity.

Right. Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws? And do you see any parallels? I do not see any parallels between sworn officers and agents. I'm talking about perception.

I do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally mandated as it relates to enforcing the law. Are you aware that there's a perception? I see no perception that puts ICE in the same category as the KKK. Is that what you're asking me? No, I'm very specific about what I'm asking you.

Are you aware of a perception that the way that the discretion to... I see no parallel. I'm not finished. I see none. I'm not finished.

I'm not finished. Are you aware that there's a perception that ICE is administering its power, fear, and intimidation, particularly among immigrants and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America? Are you aware of that perception? I do not see a parallel between the power and the authority that ICE has to do its job and the agents and officers who do it professionally and excellently with lots of compassion. Sir, how can you be the head of an agency and be unaware of how your agency is perceived by certain communities?

There is a lot of perceptions in the media and in the public that are incorrect about the agency. But the perception exists. Would you agree? Wow. There you go, ladies and gentlemen.

Kamala Harris, during a Senate hearing, comparing ICE agents to the KKK.

Okay, that's the real Kamala Harris. She's a piece of work, that one. I'll tell you that much right now. All right, let's go to the phones here. Jimmy in Florida.

Hi, Jimmy. What's on your mind? Well, I love your show, by the way. Thank you. I've been hearing all day that the FBI wants to talk to President Trump about the shooting, and we know how they are.

I'm just a little nervous about them trying to set him up with something, you know. I think that's very wise. And I do not trust the FBI right now. I just don't. And, Jimmy, I know there are a lot of good and decent men and women working in the FBI, but most of them are not in leadership.

And I advise people, never even say hello or good morning to the FBI. you get your attorney on the phone right okay well thank you i just wanted to weigh in on that jimmy i'm glad you did and yeah it's uh it is a concerning thing but i think trump is smart enough to know that he doesn't need to be talking to the fbi not right now uh let's go to doug in georgia hi doug what's on your mind hey good i'm gonna pull over real quick here i'm in georgia You know, we got a bunch of holes and we lose phones down here like crazy.

Okay, well, let's put Doug on hold then and we'll try to get that figured out. Got to take a break, folks. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starnes Show. All right, folks, don't forget 5 o'clock Eastern on Newsmax 2.

Be sure to watch us on the Newsmax 2 live YouTube stream. You can also watch us on a number of OTT platforms, including Amazon and Roku. We're going to be talking to Dr. Don Sweeting about the Olympics. You're going to that is going to be worth the viewing right there.

So you're going to watch that five o'clock Eastern.

Well, as I mentioned earlier in the program, we are proud to be partnering with our friends at Food for the Poor. They are doing some incredible work and we want you to be a part of that. I want to go right now to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and welcome Anitra Parmele from Food for the Poor. Anitra, what an honor to have you with us today. Todd, it is a thrilling Monday as the ordinary becomes extraordinary because of your listeners' generosity.

I mean, we're looking to see lives changed in the next couple of minutes. It's going to be pretty exciting. And again, folks, you can do that by going to our website right now, ToddStearns.com, and clicking on the red Give Life banner on the top of the page. Again, ToddStearns.com. Anitra, let's talk about what we're hoping to accomplish with our campaign.

Well, let me just invite you to travel with me to one of the 15 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean where Food for the Poor has been serving for the past 40 years. And there is no food for the poor without you. That is not hyperbole or overstatement. Food for the poor is a bridge between your generosity and families that are in need. We're talking about families who are sending their children on a treacherous journey just to gather water, knowing that the water is full of filth and parasites that are going to make their children sick, but that's their only option.

We're talking about families that because of rising food prices or drought, natural disasters, have lost their access to food. I mean, quite literally, we meet parents who, when we ask, you know, what have your children eaten today? They just shake their head. I mean, and these children are the most vulnerable victims of these circumstances. These are are parents who would give their lives for their children and on Thursdays actually send them to the dump to collect recyclables.

I mean, the reality is harsh, but today we're inviting you to step into that desperation with your generosity. I mean, okay, so these numbers are outlandish. $50, a one-time gift of $50 can provide a hungry child with food for a year, 365 days of two meals a day to answer their stomach hunger. And it will also help a community get access to water.

So that's the miracle we're talking about right now, but nothing happens until you respond. And let's talk about, you know, because I get this question on, all right, well, what kind of food are we talking about? And maybe if we could talk for just a moment on these beautiful things called manna packs. Tell us what's in a manna pack. Exactly.

And now, mind you, as varied as the communities are, the situations are, so is food for the poor's answer to the distribution of food.

So we're often buying food in the economy, trying to boost the economy, trying to support local farmers. But you're exactly right. Mana packs are these extraordinary miracle bundles, and they have been put together scientifically.

So they have a soy base, rice, nutrients, vegetables, vitamins. They're actually targeted scientifically to move children who have not had access to food into a feeling of regular eating.

So as you can imagine, the system is so shocked by food that this is a great way to move them from a day, two days, three days without food into that transition into being well-fed and healthy and having hope.

So these manapaks are almost like the size of an MRE, but they're delicious. You can make them as a soup, add a number of units of water to it and make it a soup, or reduce the water and it becomes like a hearty stew.

So depending on the need, how many children you need to feed, those manapaks are literally miracle bundles for these families. And I love the idea that not only are our listeners helping to get these MANA packs to these children, but also you guys are very involved in developing projects like family and community gardens and community markets. How does that process work?

Well, our desire is to provide pathways out of poverty. We're a holistic, faith-based organization. And so our ultimate goal is not a handout, but a hand up. Our goal is to see these communities self-sustaining.

So once we're able to meet that initial desperate need for food and water, the essentials of life, yes, these families are offered support in terms of agriculture, whether it's seeds or maybe it's a pair of pigs. We've seen mothers, single mothers, learn to be truck drivers, and suddenly they're able to provide on a consistent basis for their families. I mean, it's extraordinary, the before and after, the transformation that your gift of food and water kind of kicks off that recovery period. And I want to give out some information here, folks.

So if you would like to help us out here and you're going to want to do this, not only can you go to our website, toddstearns.com, check out that Give Life banner at the top of the page. You can also text.

So get out to your cell phone right now and text my name, Todd, to 51555. That's Todd to 51555. And we're going to send you a link to where you can make a generous gift. And, of course, you can also call right now 855-853-4673. That's 855-853-4673.

And, Anitra, I'm just so impressed by what you just said about how it's not just about giving people food, but it's about helping to train people to create their own gardens, to help provide access to clean water, which is going to promote good health and hygiene.

So it's really, like you said, it's part of a broader ecosystem that you guys are building. These parents will do anything for their children. They're like you and I. They will do anything for their children. But the circumstances are conspiring against them.

Even if they're able to make $1, $2 a day, food prices are outlandish. bandish. People think, oh, if they're making a dollar, then it's, you know, eggs or a penny. No, unfortunately, that's not the reality.

So when we're able to meet those basic needs and start to provide them opportunity, they literally run with it. I mean, they are so anxious to get their families on solid footing. And your generous gift starts that process. I love this. And again, your gift of $100 or really any amount, is that right, Anitra?

So if folks you know have a thousand dollars they can give a thousand if they've got ten dollars they can give ten dollars each gift i mean literally i just stood in front of these parents any gift is going to change their lives because think of it fifty dollars provides a child food for a year i mean imagine this is a mother the pastor the minister is going to stand in front of a mother who maybe not hasn't eaten herself for three days because anything she gets, she gives to her children. Her children maybe haven't eaten for a day, a day and a half, and she has no hope for tomorrow. And a pastor says, oh, wait, you're going to get a year's worth of food. I mean, it's extraordinary, the impact of your gift of any size. All right.

Well, Anitra, we're going to have to leave it there. We're going to get you guys back on as we launch this very important campaign. and we're just so excited about the incredible work and ministry that you guys are doing over at food for the poor thank you your listeners thank you so much for partnering on a miracle with us all right folks again you heard the call for help text todd to 51555 that's todd to 51555 or go to our website toddstearns.com you click on that red banner at the top of the page all right We've got to call it a day.
