Kamala Harris is a Manchurian Candidate

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. Setters, that's right. I love this American ride.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Tomstarns radio program.

So very happy to have you with us today. Wow, we've got a lot going on. And we're going to have a great show. Also, We're going to mix things up a little bit. It's Hump Day, and it's also Elvis Week here in Memphis, Tennessee.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship Golf Tournament, one of the premier golf tournaments in America, is underway. And so I thought, you know what, later in the show, we're going to have a little bit of fun, a little bit of a news quiz for our great listeners of the Todd Stearns Radio program. That'll be coming up in just a little while. Our good friend Aiden Pettit is dropping by, our favorite trivia guy.

Also, Congressman Scott Perry is going to be here from the House Freedom Caucus. And our good buddy Dave Bratt from Liberty University is going to be here to talk about Kamala Harris dodging these interviews. By the way, And we've got some audio to play a little bit later on. What I find fascinating here is that her campaign now says she will not be doing interviews until at least the end of the month. We are already 45 days, 45 days since Kamala Harris actually sat down for an interview.

We'll get to that. Also, I have some thoughts about Elhan Omar. The uh the the The Godforsaken Evil woman. I was trying to choose my words correctly there. This woman is evil.

She hates America. She's a moocher, the whole family. A family of moochers coming to this country. They hate our country. We pull them out of some third-world hellhole.

We give them homes, we feed them, we clothe them, we educate them, and Ilhan Omar and her ilk they hate all of us. Anyway, she won her primary last night, and I think the way she won it is very dubious.

So we're going to be talking about that as well. But I want to start with what I believe to be a very interesting story. And I I think this, we've been talking about this for the past several years now, really going back to the Trump administration. But There is a new report out. This is from the New York Post, and their reporting is based on a survey conducted by the National Student Clearinghouse.

And the National Student Clearinghouse reports that vocational school enrollment. shot up by sixteen percent last year. That's really a remarkable number. As a matter of fact, it's a record-breaking number.

So you say, Todd, what does that mean? It means that a growing number of college people, high school kids, are not going to college. Instead, they're going to a vocational school. And many of them are saying, you know what? I don't need a college degree.

I don't. I don't want a a college degree. I'd rather just jump right into the workforce, maybe get an apprenticeship.

something of that nature. And the New York Post did a really fascinating interview With a lot of people who are actually deciding that, you know what, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to just maybe become a construction worker or an electrician. Because most of the people doing this now are young ladies. I mean, overwhelmingly, most of the guys in vocational school are young men, but more than 11% of those who completed an apprenticeship program are now female. And it's fascinating because a lot of women are now deciding, you know what, I don't want to go to college.

I don't want to be a secretary. I don't want to be a waitress. And again, nothing wrong with those professions at all. But they're saying, you know what, I think I want to try my hand at something else. As a matter of fact, there's a fascinating headline in the New York Post, for some young people, a college degree is not worth the debt.

I mean, you're looking at a lot of people. I think it was Barack Hussein Obama and Big M, and they were not able to pay off their debt until right before I think they were still in the White House and they were paying off their college debt. It's insane. And now a lot of colleges and universities are starting to feel the they're starting to feel the crunch here. Many are cutting majors, many are slashing programs.

And the reason why is fewer kids are going to college. And I think this is fascinating because The reason why is not just the vocational route. The fact is that Americans are just not popping out babies like they used to. I mean, there was a time in America where we everybody was having five or six kids. I mean, now I don't even think the Catholics and the Mormons I mean, the Protestants sort of, you know, like, oh, geez a lou.

Two kids and we're done. The Catholics and the Mormons were still popping out, you know, five, six kids, not the Duggar level. You know, not 15 or 20 or however many kids I got, but a good many. I mean, if. Let's get real.

I mean, if you're down the Kroger and you see a mom and a dad grocery shopping and you got five kids, you're thinking, oh. Those are Catholics or Mormons because the Catholics and the Mormons have a lot of kids. It's true. And by the way, the Mormons have very good singing voices. Hashtag Donia Marie.

I'm just saying, you know it's true.

So anyway, so the New York Post went out there and they started interviewing these these young ladies who decided, you know what, I'm I'm just not cut out for college. One of them they interviewed is a young lady. Her name is Veronica Carl. And Veronica Carl is a 25-year-old young lady. She owns a car repair shop in Albany, New York.

And she's doing very well for herself. It's just really a fascinating story. And she talks about how you can make more money and have a happier life by actually doing stuff with your hands. And I'm wondering if you're seeing this in your communities, in your families. Where you have young people, you have kids or grandkids or nieces or nephews, and they're making the the decision that Victoria Carl is, or this young lady named Bree Loomis.

Re Loomis, by the way, drives Big Mac trucks were the Department of Transportation in New York State. I find this to be Very fascinating. Here's the headline from the New York Post. More women are skipping college to make six figures. as electricians, car mechanics, and truck drivers.

Americans right now, Americans owe nearly $2 billion in student loan debt. And now a lot of these kids are waking up and going, holy cow, I can make $150,000, $200,000 a year owning my own shop or being an electrician or a mechanic. And I don't have to worry about all of this student loan debt. And if I do have debt, if I go into a vocational school, I can pay it off very quickly. And in a lot of these cases, A lot of these places, like automobile shops or electricians, some of the bigger companies will actually pay off your vocational bills.

According to the Department of Labor. In 2020, 11.6% of those who completed an apprenticeship program in the U.S. were female. And I'm wondering how you feel about that. And this is a fascinating story here.

This young lady, Veronica, or I'm sorry, Victoria Carl. At the age of twenty one, Her parents invested fifty percent. Yeah. And she took over a an automo automo shop named an automobile shop named Carl's Advanced Automotive and Truck Repair Center. That's when she was twenty one.

Now she is 25. She has four full-time technicians. She also rolls up her sleeves and she'll work on a car and fix a car as well. And get this, her net sales expected to be over one million dollars this year. Victoria says, I grew up around cars, racing go-karts, restoring trucks with my dad.

She says she loves it. And the same thing with Brie Loomis, who looks like some sort of a fashion model. And she says, I actually helped build the Buffalo Bill Stadium, the football stadium. She day to day, she works on drainage or ditching crews. She drives Mac trucks.

She also salts and plows state roads in the wintertime. Good for you. There's a young lady they profile in this piece named Shawna Irving. And she is the youngest ever president of the women's club at her electricians' union. That's local number local union number three.

And she's recruiting even more people in the Brooklyn area, Brooklyn, New York, to become electricians. Her father was a sheet metal worker.

So, all this to say, it goes back to something that. President Trump talked about when he was running for office. And you talk about messaging. I think this is the messaging here. And I know this may not sound sexy to a lot of the politicos.

But the reality is that there are a lot of young people in America That Want to do stuff like this, and they don't realize there are these opportunities. President Trump put those people at the forefront of his administration, the first go-around. And he was, you know, here's the man who was standing up for the electricians and the plumbers and all of the blue-collar workers, the people that the Democrat Party completely dismisses. The Democrat Party, they say they stand up for you folks, but they don't. And I'll give you a great example.

Just a few days ago, the whole controversy around the taxing the tips. It was the Democrat Party. It was Kamala Harris and her administration. She cast a deciding vote to punish those hardworking waiters and waitresses and valets. She's the one who did that.

It was Donald Trump who was out there saying, you know what? I sat down and talked to a waitress, and she said, You know, Mr. President, it'd be great if we didn't have to pay a tax on our tips. And he said, that's a great idea. Boom, we're going to make that a central component of policy if he gets elected.

So I get it. It's a lot it's I get it. People in the interwebs, they love the conspiracy stuff. Oh, she can't really run for president because her father's Jamaican and her mother's Indian. She's like Obama.

She was she doesn't have a birth certificate. Can you please cut out the crap? Because if we don't cut out the crap. We're going to end up losing this freaking thing. And what we've got to start doing.

This campaign has to be about people. It has to be about making America great again. It can't be about the conspiracy theories or the size of the crowds. It can't be about that stuff. It can't be about whether she's black or Indian or white or whatever.

It can't be about that. It has to be about something bigger and more aspirational. Yeah. We cannot be campaigning on what happened in 2020. And if we do, ladies and gentlemen, you mark this day down.

Dylan, I want you to mark it in our audio files. We will lose the election if that's all this election is about. I am telling you. And I have heard it from so many people in private conversations. And so many people, including other talk show hosts, are terrified to tell you what I'm about to tell you.

And to tell you what I'm telling. That if we base our campaign here for the White House on a series of grievances, we will lose. It is that simple. But if we can rally around issues like the fact that more young American people, thanks to Donald J. Trump, are actually going to vocational schools and starting businesses and earning paychecks and becoming productive members of society, if we can tell those stories, if we can embrace those people, if we can have town halls filled with welders and contractors and construction workers, and they're all young people.

That is going to make a difference. And I hate to break this to all of you young Republicans, or the Republicans out there. But all young people don't go walking around wearing khaki pants, button-down shirts, and ties every day. Regular young people don't do that. A lot of them are wearing work shirts.

They're wearing overalls. They're working farms. And we've got to start reaching out to those people. And if we don't, folks. We lose.

I mean, it really is that simple. But going back to this story, they're now saying that Generation Z is becoming known as the tool belt generation, and I like that. And you know why? Because those kinds of people made this country great in the first place. When you go back to the 40s and the 50s and the 60s, these were people that were going out there, they were fighting our wars, they were building our cars, they were building our houses.

This is where America got its work ethic. And we can reclaim that. I am telling you, there is something about Generation Z. This will be the generation that either saves America. or destroys America.

And I am very hopeful in what I reached. I have no idea what the politics of any of these people are in this story. I have no earthly idea. But I do know this. It was Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, who made this a key issue, and he told these young people for years, Barack Hussein Obama. And his hoity-toity college crowd, the elites, they sneered at people who didn't want a college degree. Barack Obama and his administration told a generation of young people, millennials, that if you don't go to college, there's something wrong with you. If you don't get a degree, you'll never amount to anything in life. And now a lot of those kids are saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and many of them are working down at the local McDonald's, and many of them are still living in their parents' homes because they bought the lie that was spewed by Barack Hussein Obama.

So I feel good about this. And I'm excited. I'm curious to hear if you've noticed this trend. Maybe you're a school teacher, a school counselor. And students are coming to you now and saying, you know what?

I really don't want to go. I don't want to go to the University of Memphis. I think I just want to I want to learn how to work on trucks. I I want to learn how to be a farmer. And I know this may sound sexist, and ladies of the beautiful women of the Ton Sterns radio show audience, the Very well accomplished women of the time.

All right, Jimmy, what's on your mind?

Well, it's a question, Todd, that's off topic, but I was just wondering, I see all the uh travel. With the campaigns that are going on right now in the presidential race. And I was just curious. I had a thought come into mind, and I thought you might could give me the answer. In regards to the travel for the Vice President and her candidate for her vice president.

I see I guess it's Air Force two that she travels on all the time and I was just curious. I know how expensive it is to have those planes in the air. and especially Air Force two, if that's what they call the vice presidential plane. But I was curious, who's covering the cost of that? Is her campaign reimbursing the taxpayers?

Or is that something that we're covering and absorbing that expense out of our taxes and on our backs. I thought you might could give me the answer. Jimmy, I'll do my best. I've had this question asked over the years, and here's the answer. It's a convoluted answer.

Yes, the campaign has to reimburse the federal government for using either Air Force One or Air Force Two. And they use some sort of a formula to figure that out. At the end of the day, are the taxpayers probably getting gypped? Yes. But the reality is they do the same thing with the Republicans as they do the Democrats.

But there is a formula they use, and they do have to reimburse. And what it really boils down to is what is political or what is campaign-related and what is related to the official office. And again, they have to do that for both parties.

Well and and I appreciate that and I I I thought that might be something along the lines of of how they handled it. My second question is this. Is there an audit verification process. That basically verifies that. just another another line and food for thought there because There seems to be no checks and balances that can give you a clear answer on anything because everything is so layered.

convoluted and confusing nowadays. Yeah, that's a fair question, Jimmy. Ultimately, that would be up to Congress to do the investigation there and to see exactly how the money is being spent and how much of it is actually being reimbursed, because it's a lot of money.

So we will ask Congressman Scott Perry that question when he comes on a little bit later on. Jimmy, thank you for the call. Thank you for listening in beautiful Hendersonville. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926.

The last time Kamala Harris granted an interview. was on June 27th. June 27th. That's the last time that Kamala Harris actually sat down. For an interview.

Now, we're talking about a woman who is the Vice President of the United States. She is the Democrat nominee to be president. And she has ignored Multiple, multiple requests for interviews. New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Wall Street Journal, MSDNC, National Public Welfare Radio, Public Welfare Broadcasting System, not a single interview. She has not granted a single Interview At all.

Period.

Now, her campaign was, one of her campaign stampers was on CNN. And actually told CNN: hey, look, we're not going to be doing any interviews. At all. Until, well, maybe, maybe next month. Cut number six.

Uh would it kill you guys to have a press conference? Why isn't she had a press conference? Listen, the Vice President and Governor Walls have been busy crisscrossing this country since the launch of this campaign and adding Governor Walls to the ticket. You saw the ways in which they went across the battleground states last week, generating rallies of thousands, 10,000 here, 15,000 there. But, Michael, you know, a campaign rally is not a press conference.

It's not inclusive. Do you mind if I cut in? I mean, you know, a campaign rally is not a press conference. Why isn't she at a press conference? She's the vice president.

She can handle the questions. Why not do it? We absolutely are going to do it. You hear her take questions as she's out on the stump. And as she said last week, we're going to be having a sit-down interview here before the end of the month.

What she's going to be focused on and what this campaign is going to be focused on is communicating directly with the voters that are actually going to decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes. That's why she's going to be in the country this past week. That's why we're doing a bus tour in Pennsylvania as we head into Chicago. And it's why we'll sit down for an interview before the end of the month to make sure that we can have a deep dive conversation about the vision that Kamala Harris has for where she wants to take this country in the contrast that we're going to have with Donald Trump. We're going to have plenty of opportunities to do that throughout the month.

The one interview by the end of the month, this month, and throughout the rest of this campaign. I don't want to belabor this, but one interview before the end of the month. I mean, that's not a lot. I mean, can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month? We will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually going to decide this election.

And that is going to be complete with rallies, with sit down interviews, with press conferences, with all the digital assets that we have at our disposal.

So he didn't answer the question, except to say, they're not doing any interviews at all.

Now, this is a big deal because if this was a Republican, just think for a moment. How do you think the media would have responded if Donald Trump at this point would have not done an interview, a sit-down interview with the media? They would have gone berserk. They would have been hollering, oh, he's old, he's senile, he can't think for himself. They would, he's got something to hide.

He's a criminal. They would go on and on and on. This would be the only story. But now the media is trying to dance around it. By the way, that was Little Jimmy Acosta.

Remember him from the Trump days? Little Jimmy got a job over, well, he was CNN's White House correspondent. And now Little Jimmy's got himself his own TV show. And he was terrified.

Now, if you don't mind, I don't really want to anger you or cause you anxiety, but have you thought about maybe doing, I don't know, doing a little press conference, a little QA with CNN, a little woofy blitzer? I mean, ah, jeeze hello Come on, man, grow up here I know you're little Jimmy, but you don't have to be little Jimmy. Be big, Jimmy. Ask the tough question, sir. But and what I find fascinating is they're screwing over their own people here, right?

I mean, we're talking about the propaganda and the megaphones for the Democrat Party, the Times, Post, CNN, MSDNC, all of them. But they're really sticking it to them.

So what's the deal here?

So by the way, and this goes back, I want to go back over the weekend. When J.D. Vance brought this up, Dana Bash over on CNN, cut 13. You've now asked me three questions about comments that I made three years ago. I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she supported policies that opened the American Southern border.

I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she lied to the American people. I'm interviewing you not about Joe Biden's mental facility for the office. You are interviewing me, Dana, because I respect the American people enough to sit down for an interview. I appreciate that. Kamala Harris has been the nominee for three weeks.

She hasn't sat down for a real interview. We are asking. You're not going to get a disagreement. And it's a so why aren't they out there attacking Kambala Harris? Why aren't they out there, the media, why aren't they out there saying this woman has something to hide?

Now, Nikki Haley was on Fox, and she's not doing Trump any favors these days, even though she gave him the endorsement. She says that all of you need to stop complaining that Harris is not doing the interviews. Cut number two. The Republican Party needs to make a serious shift here. And the first thing is...

the Republican Party, Donald Trump. People here at Fox quit complaining that she's not giving an interview. You don't need an interview from Kamala Harris. I take her at her word. I take her at her word that she wants to raise taxes for households over $100,000, that she wants to add a pharmaceutical tax and a health care tax.

I take her at her word that she thinks that illegal immigrants should be able to vote and be given driver's licenses. I take her at her word that she wants to ban fracking and kill a bunch of U.S. jobs. Take her at her word. Despite the fact that the campaign has pushed back and put out statements and saying that her positions have changed.

She has said this.

Now what Donald Trump needs to do is go out there and campaign every single day, telling the American people exactly what Kamala Harris has said. We are 80 plus days out. We need him to win. But you got to go out and do the work. And the one thing Republicans have to stop doing, quit whining about her.

We knew it was going to be her. She's not going to give an interview. They're going to hold out as long as they can. That's their right. They can do it.

That doesn't mean we can't talk about what she believes in. And we should be getting out there and doing that. All right, so again, I hear what Nikki Haley is saying, but the problem is: what word do we take her at? You know, she's for something, then she's against it. I mean, she's out there now claiming to be the Make America Great Again candidate.

So at some point, Harris needs to be held accountable, and she's got to explain why the flip-flops. But again, I want to go back and explain why they're not putting her out there because her campaign handlers understand that this woman is a certified dean bat. She is not capable of discussing any important issues. especially the economy. I the woman can't even balance her own checkbook.

I'm just telling you, she may understand dollar bills, but she doesn't understand the nickels and the times. I'm just saying there is something off about her. There is a phrase that you may have heard. There was a movie, a couple of movies called The Manchurian Candidate. There was the original, then there was the remake.

And this is a phrase that we use in the political world, in the political arena. And the Manchurian candidate is a person that is being used as a puppet by some sort of an enemy power. And every day that goes by. it it really becomes clear. What's going on here?

You have a woman who, first of all, Was not even popular enough to win a single vote in her own state when she was running in the Democrat primary. A woman who dropped out just a few months after entering the race for the White House because she had zero support in the Democrat Party, a woman who was mysteriously placed on the ticket even though she was really not able to help Joe Biden, nor was she qualified for the position. A woman who had been talked about in such negative terms from day one by. By the legacy media. As a matter of fact, just a few months ago, there were open talks in the media, CNN, MSDNC, about whether or not Joe Biden should replace her because she was not of she was not only no help to Joe Biden, she was bringing down the ticket.

And then all of a sudden in just the blink of an eye. She becomes a female Jesus Christ. She's like Mother Mary now to the Republican Party or the Democrat Party. She is a woman who has done no wrong. She is a woman who is the savior of the Democrats.

And yet she has not earned a single vote. She has not sat down for a single interview. And I suspect, again, being the certified ding bat aside, that whoever is pulling the puppet strings here, which is Barack Hussein Obama, They don't want her in front of the cameras. That should alarm all of you, and it should especially alarm all of you Democrats who went out there and campaigned for Joe Biden. You gave him your vote, and now Kamala Harris stole that vote.

All right, Jeezaloo, we got it all right, we're going to take a quick call here before we go to break because Webb has a theory about all of this and why Kamala is not doing interviews. Webb, appreciate you joining us. What's on your mind? Hi, Todd. Uh well, we're talking strategy.

Why would it be that she won't have any interviews until a while from now because early voting they want to keep the Democrats in the ether. Why is she blurring the line, whatever Trump says, she says, and repeats? It's to make the Democrats think that she'll be as good as anyone else and besides, we don't like mister Trump's tweets. Um They are deliberately putting her off for an interview after most of the votes are in with the. the drop boxers and all this other silliness.

What do you think, Todd?

Well, it could be. And I'll get into what happened last night in Minnesota, and that's a little disturbing, the Ilhan Omar vote and how all that went down. And I'll do a blow by blow, play by play of that coming up in the next hour. But there could be something to that. And there is go there will be early voting, and a lot of people, they're going to be casting their ballots on flawed information coming out of the Democrat Party.

So it could be. Web, good thought. Appreciate you calling in. 901-260-5926. Here's, if the media really wanted to, if they really wanted to fix this, here's what they would do.

They would ban every single one of Kamala Harris' campaign staff and surrogates from the airwaves. That's it. Just say, you know what? No, you're not welcome on here anymore. We're not going to be talking about Kamala Harris.

We're not going to be doing anything until she sits down and agrees to an interview. That's how you fix it. And I guarantee you, if this had been Donald Trump doing this, they would have yanked every single Trump surrogate off the airwaves. Guaranteed. All right.

Hateful, angry trolls, and these are pretty awful people, and they're impacting a project that we're working on this month, and just some of the nastiest, most hate-filled comments.

So, we just need your help to cut through all this garbage. All this month, we have been raising money for food for the poor, and I can't think of anything more noble or more Christ-like than doing that. And there are these people on the social media, and they are completely attacking our campaigns, and it's causing a big problem. And whenever I turn to you guys to help our friends at Food for the Poor, now listeners chime in and they ask, why should they help hungry kids in the Caribbean or Latin America? We've got people suffering right here in America.

In the current economy, we talk about this all the time.

Well, the answer is very simple. One of the big concerns facing Americans is the influx of illegals across our southern border.

Now, journalist Roy Beck has been studying the poorest of the poor in other countries. He says if we feed them and help them there, they are less likely to want to come here. They have to be helped where they live. 99.9% of them will never be able to immigrate to a rich country. There's no hope for that.

They have to bloom where they're planted. The only place that 99.9% of these people can be helped is where they live. Let's help them there. And that's exactly what Food for the Poor is doing through your voluntary, generous donations. Men and women just like you are helping thousands of starving kids throughout the Caribbean and in Latin America.

They're going to get two delicious meals a day for the next year, and we're also going to be providing their villages with clean drinking water. And we want you to help. I'm asking you to help.

I love this American. Touch starts. Wow, there is. Is a huge, huge crowd already lining up in Asheville, North Carolina. Hello, everybody.

Ton Stearns here. Welcome to the show. Happy to have you with us. By the way, President Trump is doing a big rally this afternoon. You'll be able to watch it on Newsmax right before my national show.

And the president is going to be speaking in Asheville, North Carolina. And my understanding is there are huge crowds.

Now, we have a lot of listeners in that area, WHKP and Hendersonville, one of our great stations out there. And we would love to hear from you if you are on your way to the rally or if you are at the rally. Give us a call, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Now, what's fascinating about Asheville is it's sort of like the Berkeley of the South.

I think that's a good way to describe it. Asheville is a. A very liberal sort of hippie enclave. And it's kind of weird and off-putting because you have so many, so many conservative and Christian ministries that are based in the Asheville area. Of course, the Billy Graham Training Center is nearby, and the people there are beautiful.

But for whatever reason, they attract all of these hippie-dippy, patchouli-smelling Yahoos. And they all live in downtown.

So now Asheville has become a very, very woke liberal city. I believe most, if not all, the city council's made up of these uh squawking magpies that look like they could co-host the view. And the leadership there is just insane off the charts to the left. But the people I'm watching right now, and someone's walking through downtown Asheville, and there's just a mile's worth of people waiting to get in the arena to see President Trump this afternoon. And I think it says a lot that Trump would go to Asheville, North Carolina, the Berkeley of the South.

To say, hey, I'm fighting for every square inch of North Carolina.

So again, our number 901-260-5926. I have an Asheville story. I was there many, many years ago. And this was well, I guess Obama was president. And I ended up doing a book signing there.

I was actually speaking at the Ridgecrest, which is where the Southern Baptist Convention sends all their kids and senior citizens for camps. And I was speaking at a writers' conference. The Blue Ridge Christian Writers Conference, I believe is the name of it.

So anyway, I had a few days. I got there and I thought, you know, I'm going to walk around downtown at really a very vibrant downtown area at the time. And they had a bookstore. And it was called Malaprops. And I love independent bookstores, and even though most of them are far left and they hate conservatives.

By the way, if you're in Memphis, Tennessee, and want a copy of my book, go to Barnes and Noble and Books a Million. They actually like conservatives. The independent bookstore here, eh. Nope, not gonna work.

So, anyway, I went into this bookstore and I love triggering. I just love triggering people. And so, I went up and I asked, I said, Can you point me in the direction of the Rush Limbaugh books? And the person turned white as a ghost.

Well, we don't carry that kind of thing. I'm like, all right, all right, no problem.

So anyway, I um turned around and they had these little um These little knick-knack things, doodads, I guess you call them, what do you call them? Like little things. And one of them was like a finger puppet. And it turned out that one of them, at first I thought it was Al Sharpton, but no, it was Barack Obama. It was a Barack Obama finger puppet.

And so I thought, oh, I got to get one. I don't know why, but I bought a Barack Hussein Obama finger puppet. And I thought it would be fun at the time. To take some photographs, I called and I called him Lil Barack, L-I-L Barack. And I thought it'd be fun to take Lil Barack on a little tour of Asheville.

And so I stuck the I stuck the little Barack on my middle finger, and I went around and did some touristy stuff. And then I stopped in. And again, at that point, I'm not knowing that Asheville is really that liberal. And so then I stopped in at this restaurant and it had they were promoting barbeque. And I thought, Oh, I'm in the mood for some barbecue and some sweet tea and walked in there and sat down.

And I'm looking at the menu. And ladies and gentlemen, as God is my witness. They were serving something called bar. Barbecue tofu And they did not have sweet tea on the menu.

So I did what any, you know, any freedom-loving Southerner would do. I got up and immediately left. And as I was walking out of the water, I took the doormat and I dusted it off and then kept right on walking. And so then I hear these boom bitty boom bitty boom bitty boom buddy boom bitty boom buddy boom bitty boom. I'm like, oh my gosh, what is this?

I thought it was like a National Geographic special being filmed. And so I'm following the drumbeats here. Do we have any drumbeat tom-toms? If you've got some Tom Toms, boom bitty, boom bitty, boom buddy, boom bitty, boom bitty, boom, boy, hi, oh, oh, yeah, hi, hi, hoya, hoya, boom, bitty, boom, I'm like, oh my God, I thought I was like, forget National Geographic. I felt like I was in like a Lone Ranger movie.

I was expecting Tonto to come galloping by. On Traeger. Oh, wait a second. Is that Roy Rogers? I get him mixed up.

Anyway, I'm like, oh my gosh, what's going on?

So I had my reporter's hat on. I put Lil Barack back on my middle finger, and I'm walking around Asheville trying to find out where the drums are coming from. Boom, baita, boom, baby, boom, baby, boom, bada, boom, baby, boom.

So, anyway, the sun is setting and it was getting dark, and the people were banging the bongos.

Well, geez, look, what's going on here? And so then I turned the corner. And in the middle, there's like this little amphitheater right in the middle of downtown Asheville. And many of you who have been to Asheville, you may have seen this. But every night at sundown All the hippy-dippy people they come out.

And they're all reeking of patchouli. You can smell them before you see them. And they're all sitting around in their hemp sweaters. And they're in this drum circle. And they're banging their bongos.

I've never seen anything like it. Hoya, hoya, hoya, hoya, hoya, hoya, hoya. Barack Hussein Obama is a farmer, Kenya. I've never seen anything like it before.

So you know what I did? And I look like a Republican. I mean, I look like I stepped right out of a Brooks Brothers catalog. And so I decided to walk down into the drum circle. Me and I've got little Barack on my middle finger, and I'm walking down, and there are pictures of me on Facebook of me in the middle of the drum circle.

With Lol Barack. That was my Asheville, North Carolina experience. Never went back. I'm just saying. So, all that to say, President Trump's got a great turnout.

A lot of people, I don't see anybody begging bongos in this crowd. And they all look well-bathed.

So, proper hygiene.

So, well done, Asheville, Western North Carolina. And it is a beautiful area of the country. But we would certainly love to hear from you if you're going to be going to the rally today. 901-260-5926. Coming up in just a little while, we're going to be talking to Congressman or former Congressman Dave Bratt from Liberty University.

He's going to be weighing in on the very latest surrounding Tim Waltz. Who, by the way, is just the every single day The guy comes out and has to explain the stolen valor story, and every single day you're having to do that is it's another loss for you. It really is.

So we'll check in with Dave Bratt on that. And then in the last hour of the show, we've got some fun news in the news trivia. You're going to be testing your news knowledge in the last half hour of the show today.

Alright, um I want to play some audio here. This is This is from CBS News.

So, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is very upset because crime is off the charts in his city. And most of the violence is coming from illegals. And these are very dangerous people. Very dangerous illegals, Venezuelans, gang leaders, awful people. And the mayor has a solution.

He says, well, the problem is. And the only way to really Figure the only way to resolve this issue, the only way to figure this out. Is we've got to give the illegal some extracurricular activities, cut number 11. Private security inside the Randalls Island Migrant Shelter and more police patrols on the grounds outside. As I asked Mayor Adams, what are you going to do about the violence?

We're going to examine on how we continue to make which is untenable situation as safe as possible. It's a challenge. And you've heard me say this over and over again, Marsha. You can't put thousands of people in one setting, don't allow them to work, don't allow them to do extracurricular activity and not have a situation that's going to arise. The questions following the weekend stabbing of a 26-year-old and the decision of dozens of migrants ejected from the shelter because their time ran out to erect tent encampments on the grounds.

All right, so there you go. Wow, that was a, she's got a deep voice, that reporter.

So the problem here is that the mayor says the illegals are killing people and raping people and robbing them because they just don't have any extracurricular activities. And so the mayor wants to use more taxpayer dollars to figure out: I don't know, what are we looking at here? Basketball? Are we looking at, I don't know, goat yoga? What's the country that eats the goats?

That may not work. Is that Somalia? I can't remember. Anyway, it's one of those countries, and they love to eat the goat.

So that may not work. Goat yoga may be out.

So I'm just curious: what kind of extracurricular activities are the illegals wanting that will stop them from killing and raping Americans? Anybody? Yeah. You know, they tried that at Memphis. I shouldn't be talking bad about my city.

It's Elvis Week, by the way, so we have a lot of tourists in town. Fresh meat for the bad guys.

So, anyway, and I know I shouldn't be talking about this, but we have the same situation here. And so, our city council, and they're all far-left Democrats too, and their whole thing is: well, we have to have more community centers and like more video games and things like that for the kids.

So they did. They're building these multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded community centers. And we have had more shootings now at the community centers than you can shake a stick at. It's just unbelievable. One of the rapid hip-hop people felt bad.

So he said, you know what? The kids, the children of Memphis, they need more basketball courts.

So the guy went out there, and God love him. He pulled out the checkbook and wrote this besonkers check, and they built this state-of-the-art outdoor rubber court basketball thing. And I'll be doggone if they didn't, somebody didn't go and set the thing on fire. The poor. You felt felt bad for the rap hip-hop guy.

No, I don't remember his name, Dylan. It's, you know. Biggie Smalls T-Bone or something. I don't know.

So all that to say. That you can build as many community centers and basketball courts as you want to, but at the end of the day, people who want to commit crimes are going to be committing the crimes.

So my solution to all of this, Mr. Mayor, is to take all the illegals and send them back to where they came from. It really is a very simple procedure. Oh, we've got Christine on the line here from North Carolina, WHKP. Christine, do you live anywhere near Asheville?

Not no, but uh-uh. No, but no, wow. All right. That's those are tough words, ma'am. Tough words.

Yeah. I'm in Hendersonville. Hear you on WHKP. I'm so thankful that Trump is in Asheville because they can't stand him. Is that right?

So they they don't like him there. Oh no, they're so left of the center, it is unbelievable. Their new name is Trashville. Trashville. Trashville.

Trashville. The Chamber of Commerce might want to work on that nickname. Yeah, I just hope he hope he lays it to them because they are so woke and so it's horrible. Is that right?

So my understanding is the campaign had to pay in advance to rent the auditorium there, like $82,000.

So they're not exactly rolling out the red carpet for President Trump. No, I saw on the local T V they was interviewing some lady and she says, We don't ev didn't even didn't even know he was coming. And I'm thinking, Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, you did. You just don't want to tell nobody.

Wow.

So is it true that Asheville is a pretty well you know, I tried my best to describe my journey there with little Barack the finger puppet on my middle finger. Was that a pretty good descriptor? It was a very good descriptor. Oh, by the way. Asheville's always been kind of eclectic.

But within the last four years it has just gone down the tube and they're trying to come over to Hendersonville. and Asheville, our Hendersonville, and it ain't gonna work. Yeah, I'm with you there. I'm looking at the city council. It's an all-female city council, and they all look pretty woke.

And let me preface this by saying there's one council member whose pronouns A Bit unclear, but I think it's an all-female city council. Yeah. Yes, and she probably does. Oh, sweet mercy. But I would you know, and it I would not I am not going to Asheville ever again.

I'll go to Greenville, South Carolina, or Spartanburg before I would even go to Ash Trashville. All right. Well, that's good to know.

So Trashville, by the way, if you go to if you go to Spartanburg, you gotta drop by the beacon for that big burger and the the fries and the ones. The beacon is the bomb. Yes, it is. And you'll be trying.

Well, I'm just going to leave that there. Christine, you're a lovely lady. Thank you for calling. It's a greasy burger. I'll just leave it at that.

All right, coming up, Dr. Dave Bratt, former congressman, now on faculty at Liberty University, going to weigh in on the very latest with the Kamala Harris race and also the crazy Economy. A lot of people losing their jobs out there.

That's right, free of charge, ladies and gentlemen. Not too shabby. All right, got to take a break. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

Great to have you with us. Kamalonomics, that's what I called it yesterday during my speech at Americans for Prosperity, kamalonomics. And today the Biden or the Trump team is out there and they are embracing Kamalonomics as well, the worst food inflation in nearly half a century. Let's go right now to the Patriot mobile newsmaker line, our good buddy Dave Bratt from Liberty University joining us. Dave, good to have you with us today.

Yay, thanks much, Todd. You got me chuckling already. Yeah, I mean, this is insane. You know, they seem to be celebrating the fact they say inflation's going down. I think inflation has already taken its toll on everybody.

Yeah, that's right. I saw a nice little video a day ago on inflation, too. People some people think it's just prices going up and then they blame business for raising prices. Instead of knowing that it's caused by the Federal Reserve. And the real price of inflation, right, is the loss of purchasing power of your dollar.

And so this guy put together a little video and said the analogy, and this is true, the numbers are actually true. If you've worked fifty years of your life, Right, saving up for retirement. inflation has taken away forty percent of that from you. Wow.

In other words, it's taken away twenty years of your work, right? twenty of the fifty years you worked has been stripped away By inflation, right, and twenty percent in the last four years, and that's just a fact. And so when you hear inflation, don't think, hey, I'm just upset at the high grocery store prices. It's everything you got in your retirement account. It's the equivalent of of forty percent of your working hours your entire life.

I've been trying to figure this out, Dave. And, you know, is it cheaper to just eat out or go to the grocery store now? It used to be cheaper to go to the grocery store and just get your groceries. But I thought, you know, I'm just going to try. I wanted to get a sandwich.

I went over to the Italian deli over in Germantown, Tennessee, after the show yesterday. And the lady at the counter is ringing me up. It's a mom-and-pop place. And she's ringing me up, and it was like $26 for like a meatball sub. And she was like, oh, that case.

She goes, oh, that can't be right. I must have made a mistake. And she goes back through and it was no mistake. I mean, this is tough on everybody. And that Financial Times poll that came up, what 78% of registered voters say inflation.

is one of the biggest problems they're dealing with right now. Yeah, well, that's right. And the problem is the Republicans are complicit. Right, and so as Ronald Reagan messaged so well, and Milton Friedman, right, he It's just too much money chasing too few goods. And there's only one cause of inflation, and that's the Federal Reserve system printing money.

And the reason they print money, for the most part, is because we're doing way too much government spending. Those are two separate things.

So, the Republicans and the Democrats have been spending like crazy. The Democrats have never asked for a balanced budget, just as a fact check, right? You can go look that up. At least the Republicans act the way. Once in a while, like they want fiscal restraint.

But we're running $2 trillion deficits, so the Federal Reserve has to print the money. And that's so on top of taxation to cover government spending, You're losing 40% of the Of your purchasing power, right? 40% of the value of a dollar over the past 50 years. And so it's just a dumble whammy. The political class is to blame for this.

And unfortunately, we don't teach financial literacy anymore in schools. Otherwise, people would be really outraged. If they understood what I'm saying, if the country understood what I was saying, there'd be a revolution. Because your money is being stolen straight from your bank account. You're right about that, David.

I remember back when I was in school, I graduated high school in 1985. I mean, they were still teaching economics, and you had to take it. It was a mandatory class. You had to learn how to balance a checkbook. You had to learn about how to do all of this stuff.

Yeah, and. The y you know, this d deep state stuff is for real too. And part of it is the mainstream press now is not the press, right? It's part of the state apparatus and part of the messaging machine. Right, when the mainstream media, right, that shooter, that sniper Tucker had a great interview with the Pesobic.

And so, you know, some 20-year-old kid drives up with a bike a mile from his van, which is hooked up to explosives. With a gun on his back. brings in a ladder, climbs up the building. It turns out now, I'm assuming Tucker's got his facts straight. Uh but the uh security secret service folks didn't have a briefing that day by coincidence.

They didn't communicate with the locals. I mean Yeah. You know, so there's no curiosity by the mainstream press. There's no teaching about the debt and the impact of inflation on your daily life. And I could just go on and on and on.

Nothing on Russia Gate, nothing on 500,000 boys, roughly. Uh killed or injured in Ukraine. 500,000. deaths or injuries, right, serious injuries in war. No one knows anything about it, and we're paying for it.

And it's our war. Putin had a peace plan on the table two years ago. The United States rejected it. And we did the coup d'etat on them back in 2014, and we're preaching about democracy. when our press won't even tell us the truth, so we can make rational decisions.

And here's where I need your help understanding this, Dave. You've got and by the way, folks, doctor Dave Bratt, former Congressman, Senior VP for Business Relations at Liberty University, You've got the media. She's not doing interviews with anybody. And she had a spokesperson on CNN saying, well, maybe next month, September. Here's my concern.

I think, yeah, I think a part of her is she is, in fact, a certified Deembat. I get that. But I think there's something else going on. Her father, the radical Marxist economist at Stanford. That's real.

That's true. That's what a joke. And you wonder, we don't know anything about her. As a matter of fact, there's a new Media Research Center poll out. 86% of Democrats and Independents say they have never heard of a single Kamala Harris position, and they don't know anything about her.

And I'm wondering if this is all intentional now. Are we looking at a Manchurian-style candidate? Oh, I don't think there's any question. I mean, the evidence and the receipts are so clear, right? The Biden family This is from Congress, right?

Congressman Scott Perry, a foreign relations committee. I'm not making stuff up, right? Even though we're having fun here. Right, but they have receipts of checks from China, from China going to the Biden family. Right now you have Kamala.

Her dad's a Marxist economics professor. And then you have Waltz, who did thirty China trips while he was teaching high school. Right.

So if that doesn't scream China, China, China to you, I can't help you with your logic lessons, right? And then people don't want to draw the obvious conclusions. But it's sitting there for everybody to see. And then. if that's not enough, we're in four wars now that didn't exist four years ago.

And China's behind most all of it, right? We've driven Russia into China's arms. Interesting Russia story. I just learned a little tidbit, which I found fascinating. The left used to love communism and the Soviet Union.

Until 191 and the bust up, and Putin is now tied with Orthodox Christianity. He's definitely not a Orthodox Christian good guy. But the fact that he's tied with Christianity, now the left hates him. Right? I mean, so it's very interesting.

And Kamala, what's her position on the Judeo-Christian West? Cricket invisible hand. Joe Biden. Mike Waltz. And Mike Waltz, go look up the stats on Minnesota.

Right, so after George Floyd, what he did there. Look at the state stats. How many millions Michelle Bachman from Minnesota came on the other day? And she explained how many people and how many billions are leaving, billions of dollars are leaving Minnesota. worst one of the worst states to retire, et cetera, now.

Ilhan Omar is running. There's going to be interesting primary there coming up. You can't get it.

Well, let me jump in on that Ilhan Omar primary from last night. This was mind-blowing. I was watching the results coming in from Minnesota. And we were an hour after the polls had closed. Every race had been declared except for hers, and it was zero, zero percent, zero votes.

Then all of a sudden, we got five percent. And then literally 13 minutes later, the entire vote comes in and she wins that Democrat primary barely.

Something stinks to high heavens over there. Yeah. Yeah, uh all over. I I get phone calls from very smart folks. I got a guy I'm going to talk to tomorrow, Harvard PhD, political science.

They're analyzing the the voting data. we have people, thank goodness, exploring ahead of time this time.

So they can put in the necessary documents in courts and whatever to check. if things go wrong. And so Yeah, a lot of Americans need to be very vigilant, get out your cell phones, take pictures, sunlight, transparency, nothing more powerful. Is the Trump campaign doing everything they need to be doing right now, or do some tweaks need to be made? No, they need to be hitting on all cylinders.

But, you know, again. It's not It's not the Trump campaign's fault, right? better prepared for this Kamala thing. But my big beef is that where's the Speaker of the House? They're on vacation for a month.

Right, I used to get that vacation.

Okay, so a lot of times you're out on the stump and you're working and you know, with the people, and you're making your fundraising phone calls to.

So you can exist. I never did that. That's why I no longer exist. But they promised, Mike Johnson promised the American people, and he's a good Baptist. He promised that they would do the twelve approach bills or they wouldn't go off on vacation.

Right? So hey, last time I checked, you make a promise, you got to keep that. And it's for good reason, right? That's why McCarthy got sent packing. Not only didn't he follow regular order with the bills, but he did a $7 trillion Nancy Pelosi budget.

That funded woke and weaponized everything, the deep state gave the FBI a new building. Kept funding COVID stuff, funds all the drag clean stuff in education. And the Republicans did that, and the Republicans validated it and voted for it. right, and about the the usual thirty or forty heroes that are sane voted against that stuff. But i i that is the problem.

The American people better wake up real quick and start voting in some hardcore That should keep their word. That's it. There's no reason for us to be on vacation. I mean, it's all hands on tech. We've got a country to save.

And this shows me they're not taking it seriously. No, that's exactly right. I mean, we there is a bubble up there, right? And they're told, well, you know, the American people don't understand the intricacies here. that if you actually do that, we could lose the next election.

Well, we've been living under that as Republicans, and all political views are my own. For 30 years, and now we're bankrupt in four wars. It's getting existential. We got drag queens in the schools. The Chicago literacy rate is 12% for poor kids in third grade.

Right? The literacy rate, the reading rate for poor kids in Chicago in third grade, 12% of kids can read. Where are the liberals? They're gone. Folks, it's Marxist now.

Right.

It's beyond Marxism because the Marxists wouldn't do that in their own home countries. You don't have any drag queens in China or Russia. They say that for us. who they want to destroy, and they're doing a good job. And yet, the American people are just voting for the same old.

Okay, you've heard it here. It's the fall of the Roman Empire all over again, and we're watching it in real time. Yeah. Yeah, it's falling. It's falling.

Congressman, I got to leave it there. Where can people go if they want to watch your great show and what you're up to? I just got the Bratt Economics on Getter, and then here and there I'm on the war room and with you all the time. And so thanks for having me on, Todd. You're great.

All right, at Brett Economics, ladies and gentlemen, you got to follow Jay Bratt, smartest guy we know. Congressman, good to have you with us. Yeah, YouTube, brother. Thank you. Take care now.

Good game. Good man. Good man. It really is.

When you look at the moral rot in this country, and here's what a lot of people don't understand is that morality, that's our foundation, the foundation of our country. The bedrock of our country is this idea, this belief that we are one nation under God. When you chip away at that, when the rot sets in, everything built on top of that comes crumbling down. And that's what we're watching right now. That's what that's what's happening.

Oh, by the way, Ilhan Omar. In this crazy race, folks, it stunk to high heavens. Over an hour, and not a single vote was cast. Then all of a sudden, you get 5%. And then, 13 minutes later, almost 90 minutes after the polls close, boom, you've got Ilhan Omar with a huge victory now over a guy named Don Samuels.

Now, Don Samuels is a black guy. And he was very well known in the community, very well known in Democrat circles. And he's a liberal. He's not a leftist, but he's a liberal. Here's how Ilhan Omar described her opponent, Don Samuels, last night after the win.

This campaign has been one of the ugliest. Most disgusting. campaign against me that I have ever, ever witnessed. We we had an opponent that was willing to align with literal Nazis in order to defeat us. She called him a literal Nazi.

She literally called him a literal Nazi. The black liberals are opponent.

So here's the thing: in Minnesota, if you oppose Ilhan Omar, you're a literal Nazi. That's the messaging there. All right, we got to take a break. 901-260-5926 is our number. You know, everybody knows that the next medical crisis is literally right around the corner.

With those teenagers who got in trouble for the pro-Trump murals. Good guys. Let's go to David, North Carolina, WHKP. Hi, David. What's on your mind?

Hey, thanks so much for taking my call.

So I wanted to talk about two things. One, the comments you made about Kamala Harris being a Manchurian candidate. I I have no doubt that, that's the case. I think the only smarts that Biden had was maybe he realized that, and that's why he maybe pushed back a little bit, and that's why they kicked him out. And then the other part I wanted to bring up was, well, thank God I I found your station.

I'm on my way back from Asheville. North Carolina from a conference sent back to Raleigh. And of course, Trump's coming to town, and I overheard a well, first of all, Asheville has always been. I'll use the the Democrats term, a weird town. Um and you know you could overhear and there was like a sense of fear that he was coming to town.

I actually overheard some uh a waitress at a restaurant. Saying that she was just going to leave for the day because he was coming to town. It's almost like, you know, Satan was coming to town. And the last thing I wanted to touch on was, you know, your caller earlier talked about. David, I hate to do this.

We got two of your points in, and the computer's going to cut me off here. But we appreciate your listening to us. Check us out at ToddSterns.com and download our apps. You'll be able to listen to us in Raleigh. Folks, hang tight.

We've got to go. We'll be right back. Hour three coming up next. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. That's it!

That's right. I love this American ride.

Todd Stars. Oh, yeah. Breaking news now. On the Todd Starn Show. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen of the Todd Sterns Radio Show listening audience, ladies and gentlemen of the United States of America.

and planet Earth. We have breaking news coming from the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization now declaring a global emergency Over monkeypox virus. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, just in time for the presidential election. The World Health Organization has now issued a global emergency alert over the monkeypox virus.

So. You heard it here first, folks. They're going to shut us all down. I don't think we're going to be actually voting in November. Welcome to the Todd Stars Radio Program.

Happy to have you with us today. Write down our telephone number. We'll be taking your calls a little bit later on this hour. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Do we have any, Dylan? I want you to research this during the break. Any symptoms of monkeypox?

So, I don't know if I'm just wandering around the supermarket and have an affinity for, I don't know, bananas. Chiquitas, I don't know, but we'll find out whatever the symptoms are, and we'll share those with you. Want to go to the Patriot mobile newsmaker line? Our good friend from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Scott Perry, joins us. Congressman, hope you're doing well today.

Well, Todd, thank you for having me on. I am doing well. I don't want to be disparaging the monkeys. I'm sure they had very little to do with this. It's likely some country like the last time.

You know, we all call it COVID, but remember, President Trump called it the China virus. That's where it came from, and that's what we should call it.

So I'm going to leave the monkeys out of it, and I'm in pretty good health, all things considered. Good. I'd steer clear of the bananas, so just FYI. I don't know why, but anyway, that's my medical advice. Congressman, I am shocked.

We just had Dave Bratt on the last hour. He said you guys have been on vacation. What the heck? Why is the House in recess? I know you guys went on vacation early.

Was that the right move to make here?

Well, I don't think it was. Obviously, our work's not completed. The new speaker said we weren't going to leave town until our work. is completed.

Now I know it's difficult. I know the Senate's not doing anything, which you know, isn't much of an incentive. We've got to get our work done, but it doesn't matter if the Senate won't do anything. And I know that that's frustrating for many members of the House, but it's But it's nice to be able to take the moral high ground when the Senate hasn't done anything and say, well, look, we have done our work and so we demand that you pass the bills that we have worked so diligently on and passed.

Now it's hard to make that claim when you're not done.

Now even at that, Todd, even though we're not done, we've done 100% more than the Senate's done. We've passed half of the appropriations bills, or nearly half. I think about 75% of all the spending required by the end of September. The Senate has passed zero. as passed zero.

And of course, they're not interested in passing any. They are hoping for a lame duck. Omnibus fashioned by the backroom deal of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, and then imposed on Republicans who. You know, are going to be either required to vote for that or be accused, once again, of being for shutting down the government. You can be for keeping the government open and not bankrupting the country.

Of course, that's never how the press is going to report it. And Republicans ought to know that going in and just be prepared for that. And stand firm on their principles and say, you know, we voted to keep the government open without bankrupting it, and it's a shame the Senate. Wouldn't come along and do the same thing. But that's always our challenge: is that many Republicans are afraid of what the media might say to them.

And of course, I got news for him, other than. You know, the Todd Starn show, the media is never going to be on your side.

So, how about just doing the right thing and let the chips fall for where they may and do what you told the American people, which is, I'm going to stand up. And I'm going to fight for the things that you believe in, regardless of what a corrupt left-wing media is going to say about me.

Well said.

So let's get to the nuts and bolts of this.

So you guys have, what, almost half for it? Do you have half of the spending bills? And these are must-pass spending bills. What happens if these spending bills do not get passed?

Well, then there's a partial government shutdown, but even with that. 85% of the government is funded even during a full government shutdown.

So there'll be a partial government shutdown. And of course, the press and Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or both of them, since nobody's really listening to Joe Biden more than ever now, will claim that Republicans shut the government down right before the very crucial presidential election, throwing the country into turmoil. Nobody can afford to go to the grocery stores anymore, and everybody's being thrown out of their homes because everybody is completely dependent on the government. That will be the narrative if we don't pass something by the end of September. And so, because of that narrative, you're likely to see what's called a continuing resolution, which means we can't agree on anything.

We haven't got our work done.

So, we're going to continue the same spending and policies that were in place. you know, on September twenty-ninth. And of course, those same spending and policy priorities are oftentimes the policies of the left because you know, every time we seem to make a deal with Chuck Schumer and Anthony Pelosi, Joe Biden, they always get more of what they want than we get of what we want.

So, and we've been down this path so many times, and we know how it's going to go. The Republicans are going to surrender, and they're going to do the continuing resolution. I mean, again, I don't think they're going to let the government shut down even partially in September due to the election. And, of course, we also have the Trump sentencing. I mean, September is going to be a minefield of events for the country.

Yes, there's no doubt about it. And we don't have to cave in, though. The Freedom Caucus has offered the Speaker and all Republicans across the country an alternative, which is to say Let's pass even though I would be generally objectionable to what it you know, many of the policies and certainly the spending, but let's face reality, And let's pass a continuing resolution now before the summer ends, before we get Backed into a corner in September, but let's pass it so that it goes into next year.

So there is no lame duck omnibus written by Chuck Schumer, which ties the hands of new president and newly mined president for all of next year. Let's pass that. And what's the sweetener is for people like me and Republicans who are loath to pass the spending and the policies of the left for even one more day, let alone six months. But let's include the SAVE Act in that and force the Democrats to go explain in an election year why they're okay with people that are here illegally voting. As you know, the SAVE Act requires states to require proof of citizenship before people vote.

And as we know, millions upon millions of people have been brought into the country illegally by the Biden-Harris administration, and many, many of them have been registered to vote through programs like the one in Pennsylvania called Motor Voter. If they are not allowed to vote, why would we be registering them in the first place? And we know, of course, that the intent is to be a very important of the left is to have them voting even though it's illegal. Fair enough on that. Real quick here, Congressman, I'm just curious how things are in Pennsylvania, a battleground state.

How is the Trump campaign doing in your state?

Well, the Trump campaign is chugging along, spending a lot of time in Pennsylvania, but of course. You know, the Harris and Walls campaign is spending time lying in Pennsylvania as they always have. And so the polls have tightened, unfortunately. And there's the component of the unknown. Of course, in Pennsylvania, we have 50 days of voting.

We have these drop boxes. If you have a mailbox, you don't need a drop box. But somehow, if you don't have a drop box where multiple ballots can be dropped off, then you're disenfranchising people. We have all that kind of stuff going on in Pennsylvania.

So we need an overwhelming victory by President Trump. And of course, the media is touting Kamala Harris as the combination of like Betty Crocker, Margaret Thatcher, Michelle Obama, Oprah Wimphrey, and Taylor Swift. Where two months ago she was inept, couldn't say anything but word salad, and was complicit in the border crisis, the failed economic policies of the administration that have us all living in an unaffordable economy, and of course, embarrassment every single day on the world stage. But suddenly, since she's going to become the nominee, now she's ready for primetime. Unbelievable.

All right, Congressman, we're going to have to leave it there. Follow Congressman Perry, Rep Scott Perry, on Acts. Congressman, always good to have you on the show. Thank you. Great to be with you.

God bless you. All right. There you go. Again, Speaker Johnson made a promise to the American people that they were going to get all of this work done before the summer recess. But instead of doing that, he decided to send everybody home a week early.

Now, all of this spending fight is going to happen in the lead up to the presidential election. And that is not going to be helpful for President Trump. And by the way, that's one of the reasons why the Republicans gave Kevin McCarthy the boot.

So it's A little hypocritical, if you ask me. To side here with Speaker Johnson, when in fact he's doing the exact same thing that Speaker McCarthy did. And again, I get it. The Senate may not do anything, but that doesn't matter. That's not the issue here.

The issue is doing your job as the House of Representatives. Unbelievable. 901-260-5926 is our number. We're watching a couple of big stories developing. J.D.

Vance speaking right now in Michigan. And later this afternoon, 4 o'clock Eastern, President Trump is expected to speak in Asheville, North Carolina, very liberal town. We're going to be following that. You'll be able to watch that on Newsmax, and we'll have full details on my show on Newsmax starting at 5 o'clock Eastern. By the way, speaking of Newsmax, it is now officially the fastest-growing cable news channel in America.

I don't want to put you on the spot, but I do have a question for you. Um, do your people, uh, the uh, your generation, do you guys go to the Denny's or the IHOP? The IHOP.

Well, actually, Waffle House. Oh, Waffle House. Yeah, I'll say Waffle House.

Okay, so Denny's. Denny's sometimes.

Sometimes. All right. I always liked Denny's. Back in the day, I had the Moon's Over My Hammy. That was very delicious.

That's eggs and ham.

Okay. Or ham and eggs. I don't go to Denny's a lot.

Okay. All right. It's all right.

Well, I was just curious. Waffle House is great. And it's also one of the most dangerous places to go and eat, but it's also one of the safest because everybody's packing at a Waffle House. The workers, especially. Especially the workers.

They will protect you. They'll body slam you. Oh, yeah. I mean, they know like ninja moves. Yeah.

They'll make a great waffle and then they'll. WWE slammed you on the ground. What was the woman? There was the Waffle House video. Remember that one?

Where the woman did that really weird, like. Kung Fu martial arts. That was impressive. Everybody's seen that video. Uh I was very impressed.

Anyway, um The last Daddy's in San Francisco is closing its doors. Oh, it's terrible. And the reason why they say that people are doing the dine and dash.

So they order their moons over Miami and they just scoot right out. That's not cool. That stinks for Denny's. It's terrible.

So it was a twenty four hour diner over on Mission Street in the Union Square section. And that used to be I used to visit San Francisco a lot, and it was a beautiful city, so much culture there. Stayed up at the beautiful Ritz Carlton up in a great hotel. And Union Square was such a vibrant area, and now it is just a ghost town. I just hate what they've done to the city.

Anyway, yeah, the owner says 25 years they've been selling. Burgers and whatever else they serve at Denny's. I don't I haven't been there in a long time. And he says it's crazy. He says the cost of doing business is tremendous.

There's vandalism. People come and eat and walk away, and there's no one to stop them. Can't they shoot them? Can't you I'm okay, Taze. Throw hot grease.

I mean, can't you do anything? It's terrible.

The guy says it's a beautiful city. We love it. We have been there for so many years, and it's not the only restaurant that's that's going uh bonkers. Oh, by the way, the other thing is the cost. Um it's also the most expensive Denny's in all of of California.

So get this. Their cheapest meal is an egg white scrample with spinach and tomatoes. And I just a little throw-up into my throat, the base of the throat, right there. $17.99. You get a side of turkey, bacon, and English muffin.

That is $5 more than the meal cost at a Denny's in San Diego or Los Angeles. Or San Diego. Which stands for a whale. Oh, we can't say that on the radio. It's a great great moment in Anchorman.

Anyway, since 2020, scores of companies have moved their headquarters out of the Bay Area due to the decline in quality of life, rising cost of living, and surging crime. And by the way, you want to know where all of this started? Believe it or not, when Kamala Harris was the district attorney of San Francisco and then became attorney general, her soft-on crime policies. Directly impacted what's happening right now in the Bay Area. And by the way, that's one of the reasons why Governor Gavin Newscomb, as President Trump calls him, Governor Newscomb is so quiet when it comes to Kamala Harris, because he knows that she's ultimately responsible for what happened in San Francisco, and he's the guy that's going to get the blame for it all.

So that's why it's Democrat on Democrat violence. Oh, by the way, I nearly forgot about this. I have in my hands, ladies and gentlemen. The report from the New York Slimes. All of a sudden They're targeting Hunter Biden.

Why do you think that is? Why all of a sudden Is the New York Slimes targeting Hunter Biden?

Well, I'm going to tell you why. They're saying and by the way, even CNN is saying these reports coming out that Hunter sought State Department help on these lucrative contracts. CNN is saying, oh, not looking good for Hunter. Not looking good. You want to know why?

Remember a couple of weeks ago, President Trump said that Joe Biden was sniffing around trying to get back into the race, and he might actually try to do that.

Well guess what? That may very well be true. And their dangling hunter, pardon that visual, their dangling hunter. In front of Joe, and they're saying, If you don't do what we tell you to do, We're going after your your son here. The the crankhead.

With the um Really freaky deeky stuff going down. I'm telling you, that's what they're, that's how all of this is playing out right now. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. By the way, we have trivia coming up in the next hour. It is Elvis Week.

Here in the Mid-South, my understanding is Aiden Pettit has actually grown out his sideburns.

So he may have pork chop sideburns today. I don't know.

We will confirm that. But here is the first question of the day. Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis just partnered with Hellmans Mayonnaise. To sell what kind of a product? We talked about this on the show yesterday.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis just partnered with Hellman's Mayonnaise. To sell what kind of a product? If you know the answer, give us a call: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Hang Todd, everybody.

This is the Tom Stearns Radio Show. All right, welcome back. Everybody, good to have you with us on the Todd Sterns Radio Show. This is like Dylan. This is a season of change on the on the show.

You're about to get married. And when are you? You're heading out to you're doing the big bachelor party. That's true. Coming up next week.

Oh, my goodness. And Aiden Pettit, who joins us, is off to college. Yes, sir. Leave tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Are you finished packing yet? Not in the slightest. No, sir. I am not.

Oh, God. We'll get there. We'll get there. So, if you have any advice for college mound Aiden or getting hitched, Dylan. Yeah.

We'll take both. Where are you going for the uh for the Bachelors? Is that right?

That's right. I want to be in the mountains. Nice. Do some whitewater rafting. Oh, nice.

You have fun stuff. All right. Are you sending Little Stearns's? Are they coming along? Or is this a grown-up pill?

I think this is a big boy. Yeah, sorry.

So they'll be that's all right. That's all right. We're going to do something else here, though.

Okay, well, that's good. That's good. Everybody's involved some way. Ho hopefully religious church, you know, prayer. Yeah.

That's always good at a batch of people. We'll be needed. Exactly. All right. Well, as promised, gentlemen, we have some great trivia, and the phones are already lighting up here.

And I want to bring in, let's say hello to D. Danny in Missouri. Hi, Danny. How are you today? Just fine.

How are you? Danny, I'm doing well. This is a disturbing trivia question that we're asking you, and we talked about this on the show yesterday. Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis. First of all, before the question here, the reason why he's partnered with Hellman's Aiden is that he admitted that he likes to put a dollop of mayonnaise in his coffee.

Oh wow. On purpose. Oh, on purpose, yeah. Is that true? Yes, he said it's true.

That's why hence the partnership. The guy loves mayonnaise. That hurts to hear. I've got to be honest. It's so disgusting.

Danny, have you ever put mayonnaise in your coffee? No, sir. I have put it on my rice, though. Wait, rice? Mayonnaise on your rice?

Yeah. I've never heard of this. It makes a little more sense than coffee, though. Yeah, it's true. It sounds terrible, but it's really good.

Okay. I'm going to take your word for it.

So here we go, Deanny.

So he just partnered with Hellman's Mayonnaise, and they're selling what kind of. Oh, by the way, hold on. Dylan, do we have the commercial from yesterday? Let's pull it up. What's the question, though?

What kind of a product are they selling? Cologne. Hopefully it's not mayonnaise scented, is it? No, it is. It's a mayonnaise-scented cologne.

Is it actually? Yeah, according to Hellmans, they're calling it Will Levis number eight. Do we have the ad? Dylan's hunting down the end. It's a bold, savory cologne with notes of tart, mayonnaise, musk, and vanilla.

See, I said that as a joke. I'm like heartbroken that I was correct. With a coffee undertone. Oh, we got the commercial. Let's listen to the commercial.

He's very scantily clad in the coverage. They try to define you. But you. are the ingredient to your own success. I cannot believe this ties back to Manny's, right?

Smell. Light greenness. Bill Levis, number eight. Yeah. The mayonnaise.

Ha ha ha. What That's incredible. Danny, you know what to ask for for Christmas now, right? I wonder if bread cologne comes with that.

Well, that is a fair question. Danny, congratulations. We're not going to send you mayonnaise, but we are going to send you something else.

So hang tight and we're going to get your info. Sending mayonnaise in the mail has got to be some sort of crime. I mean, I'd be upset if somebody sent me mayonnaise. I opened an Amazon package and it's mayonnaise. I'm upset.

So what does it look like? I mean, is this like a mist cologne or does it look like a cream? That's so difficult. You put on your cologne with a butter knife, perhaps? A little dollop behind the ear.

That's disgusting. Oh, gosh. All right. Let's go to Jack in Georgia.

So, Jack, we already have somebody who weighed in on the cologne trivia question, but Aiden has a trivia question for you regarding Elvis Presley.

So, Aiden, what do we have for Jack here? I do, and I want to preface this by saying hopefully all of the These are more fair to everybody listening than the Olympics questions. I think we might have gotten some complaints. You felt bad about that. I did.

I felt bad. I went home with a little depression. It's all right.

Okay, so your Elvis question is. Who was the first US President to visit Graceland? Who was that? Yeah. Is that it?

First U.S. president to visit Graceland. Do we have a multiple choice here?

Okay, we do. We do, we do, we do.

Okay. Okay, so we have A. George W. Bush B. Richard Nixon.

Or C. Barack Obama. I was thinking it was Richard Nixon. Oh, Jack. All right, good try.

Jack, thank you for playing today. Wow, I would have guessed Richard Nixon, too. Wow.

Okay. So, again, the question that's outstanding here on Elvis, go ahead and read that again, Aiden. who was the first US President to visit Graceland. Was it A. George W.

Bush, B. Richard Nixon, or C. Barack Obama? He's already stumping the callers. I know.

It wasn't just a sorry. The man 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. We also have another News of the Day. Trivia question.

We want to know Tim Waltz. He's the governor of what state. Tim Waltz is the governor of what state? 901-260-5926. I will have you been to have you actually been to Graceland or Anywhere over in that part of Mississippi.

Despite living here my entire life, no, I have not been to Graceland. No, sir. It's okay because I think the same, you know, in New York City, most New Yorkers don't go to visit like the Statue of Liberty. Right.

So I think that's kind of similar. It is similar. Yeah. But you ought to get your friends together and go down there. It is so much fun.

And a lot of young people are like rediscovering Elvis. And they've got all sorts of great stuff for y'all to check out over there. Very cool. I'll have to check it out. All right.

901-260-5926. Let's go to Steve in Georgia, listening to us on WDUN, which happens to be the trivia capital of America.

So, Steve, we've got a question on the table. We know it's not Richard Nixon, but Aiden, give us the question again.

Alrighty, so the question is, who was the first US President to visit Graceland? Was it A, George W. Bush, B, Richard Nixon, or C, Barack Obama? I'm going Bush. That is correct.

Good job, sir. Wow.

Congratulations. Steve, well done, sir. Yes, it was George W. Bush. I'm fairly certain Barack Obama.

Yeah. I would have remembered that. I'd be shocked if he was the first, especially to quite recent. All right, Steve, congratulations. We're going to put you on hold.

And well done. That was a good, good guess. All right. Here is our next. Here's our next question again.

We need to know Tim Waltz. He's the governor of what state. And Aiden, let's give us another Elvis question. Absolutely.

Okay, so Elvis served in the military right after acting in a film. What was the title of this movie? Right before he went into the military, he was in a movie, What Was the Title? Oh, wow, that's a great question. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Angie in Georgia. Hi, Angie. How are you? Telota, so nice to hear your voice.

Well, thank you for that. All right, we've got a trivia question we want to know. Tim Waltz, he's the governor of what state? Minnesota? Yeah.

What was the title of that movie? Wow, this is this is a that's a stumper. I think I know the answer, but I'm not sure. I'm going to give out another trivia question while we're waiting for calls to come in on that one. This takes us back to a great TV show.

Called the Brady Bunch. I don't know if any of you guys are familiar. But if you were a young child of a certain age, you either liked Marsha Brady or Jan Brady. And Cindy Brady just got on everybody's nerves. But there was a great person in the movie who had a friendship with Alice the maid on the Brady Bunch.

And we want to know Sam. Sam in the Brady Bunch, what was his job? What was his profession? If you know the answer, give us a call, 901-260-5926. Alice's boyfriend, Sam, what kind of a job did he have in the Brady Bunch?

Hi, Cindy. How are you? Just great. Every time I hear you, I feel better.

Well, thank you, Cindy. And you're on the air with Aiden as well, and we want to try to win you something. Cindy, we're going to throw you for a loop here.

So have some fun with us, all right? Bear with us, play along. First of all, we want to know what was the job that Sam had on the Brady Bunch? He was the butcher. Yeah.

That's right. I love that music. Isn't that great? That song makes you so happy. Aiden, did you watch The Price is Right?

As a kid? I've I, you know, I've maybe seen a couple episodes, but definitely not regularly. Gotcha. Back when I had a buzz cut, somebody mistook me for a Drew. True carry.

I had dark glasses at the time. See, I know him from Whose Line Is It Anyway? Oh, yeah. That's what I recognized him from. Yeah, I see it.

These two girls came running into me. Tro, Carrie, we're such huge fans. And I said, Thank you, girls. They asked for an autograph, posed for a picture. That's so funny.

All right. Here's the loop, Cindy. You knew it was coming. We've got another trivia question for you.

Okay. And I've got a multiple choice here. Actually, Aiden, I'm going to let you read this trivia question about hurricanes. Uh uh Okay, so this is your news of the day trivia. It's hurricane season.

In nineteen fifty four the National Weather Bureau chose to name hurricanes after female names. That changed in nineteen seventy nine when both men's and women's names were used. But why were women's names used exclusively? Oh, this is good. We have choices.

There are choices.

Okay, you want to read them, Todd? You can read the choices. I will read the choices. Thank you, Aiden. We're tag teaming this.

Is it number one because the head of the National Weather Bureau was fond of female names? That's option one. Number two, it was rooted in sexist stereotypes about the temperamental nature of women. Or he's Or three. It's a practice that originated in ancient Greek following the folklore about the gods.

Was it one, two, or three? I was gonna say, two came to me on before you gave me the choices, but uh I'm going to go with three.

So you're going to go with three. Oh, no. Honestly, I feel like that's the much cooler option than the real answer. That is a very cool option. That is a very cool option.

If you are a guy, Cindy, this would be the safe option here. But you still won because you got our first question there.

So hang tight, Cindy. We're going to get you squared away. Let's go to Steve in Georgia. Hi, Steve. How are you?

I'm fine. How are you? Steve, I'm doing well. Is your wife listening to the show right now? No.

Okay, good. Make sure she's not because we do want to know we we have a question on the table about national about hurricane season. And in nineteen fifty four, all of the names were female for the hurricanes, and we want to know why. Why was that? And you have one of two choices.

It's because the head of the National Weather Bureau was fond of female names, or, number two, it was rooted in sexist stereotypes about the temperamental nature of women. Number two. He said without even Taking a side. That is correct. I have to say, I much wish it was ancient Greek folklore.

That'd be much cooler of the story. I bet it was easy. All right. Congratulations there. Steve, we're going to put you on hold.

Let's go to Sharon in Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM. Hi, Sharon. How are you? Hey, I'm great. All right.

We've got a new trivia question for you, and let's do the one about Graceland. I think that's awesome. Sure.

Okay, so This will This one threw me for a loop when I read it.

So, how much did Elvis Presley pay for Graceland? Was it A one hundred and two thousand, B two hundred fifteen thousand, or C seventy five thousand? Oh, I am going to say C seventy five thousand.

Sorry. Let's give her another go up. Let's give her a loaf. Let's give her another go. The other two choices?

All right, so your other two choices, how much did El Elvis Presley pay for Graceland? Was it A, $102,000 or B, $215,000? I'm gonna go with A. There it is. Can you imagine?

Braceland for $100,000? I'd love to buy it. You know, I'd buy it. If you know, if I had $100,000. That's a pretty good deal.

It's a pretty good deal. Yeah. By the way, I went through three hurricanes. Did you really? Wow.

Were they named after women? Wilma, Francis, and Jeannie. Oh wow. You're yeah. I I just can't.

Wow, three hurricanes. Sharon, are you the reason we moved up here? Oh, so do you live in the Memphis area, Sharon? Yes, I've lived in Cordova for about fifteen fifteen years now. Oh, okay.

I was gonna say, I don't I don't think hurricanes happen in Memphis, but I believe it now. We moved up from uh Palm Beach County. Very nice. Very cool. Aiden, before you were born, a tropical storm came up the mouth of the Mississippi River, and an actual tropical storm hit Memphis years ago.

Dylan, I don't even think you were born back then.

So it was a long time ago. And that caused a bit of. Chaos in uh in the Bluff City. Tomorrow in Elvis Fraser is a whole lot of shaking. Yeah.

Memphis isn't really prepared for tropical storms. Or snow. Yeah. Or snow. All right, Sharon, congratulations.

Did Sharon win? Yeah. Oh, good. Congratulations. Well, you are now.
