Kamala: Black Men to Get $20K "Loan"'; White Men Need Not Apply

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. Hey, hey, hey, America. LeBron Stearns here today. Hello, everybody.

I'm working out my LeBron Stearns. This is my black voice. I will be explaining this in just a matter of moments. Good to have you with us today. We've got a lot going on.

And ladies and gentlemen, many of you know that I am in a period of transition in my life. and uh what was it a couple of oh gosh about seven eight months ago i came out of the closet and announced that yours truly todd sterns was going to self-identify as a black man and mainly because i wanted in on some of the reparations money it hasn't been going well um i'm not a big fan of the tanning salons so that's been a big problem and i'm a little pale i just haven't spent a lot of time out outside normally i bronze up pretty good uh during the summer months but uh this year's been so hot i've been out on the road doing the campaigning and i don't want to go to the tanning salon so i'm not looking um as um what was the biblical word dark and comely as i should but i'm but i'm trying and i just wanted the reparations money and that's why i've applied to have my name legally changed to LeBron, LeBron Starnes. I think that's got a nice ring to it. And I've always wanted to have a double syllable first name. And, you know, Todd is Todd, but LeBron is LeBron.

I just, I don't know, that was just me. And so then word comes out yesterday And this has really caused me to, well, I've already made an appointment at the tanning salon. And I said, just crank it up to extra crispy. I'll be there after the show. And I've got to get a tan very quickly.

And here's the reason why. Kamala Harris has announced that she wants to give small black business owners. That came out wrong. Black small business owners, not small black men.

So she's not giving people, no, she's not giving the money just to black midgets. She's giving it to any black man who owns a small business. She's going to give a million. She's going to set aside a million of these loans, and they're all going to be forgivable for $20,000.

So if you're a black man in America, Kamala Harris announced yesterday that she's going to give you a forgivable loan.

So it's really not even a loan, right? It's actually a it's a gift. You're not going to have to pay it back. And I'm like, man, I went in on that action.

So Cassie and Lydia, we're going to have to just clear the schedule this afternoon because I got to get down to the attaining salon. I got to look the part. And the lovely Kristen, who comes in and does the makeup for me, I'm getting a perm. I said, I want those really tight curls.

So I'm going to have a, it's going to be like a blonde, like fro, but I got to look the part. And then forget Brooks Brothers. No more Brooks Brothers. Todd Stearns is going down to city gear. And I'm going to get one of those big chains.

I want to look the part.

Now, this is all fascinating because Kamala says that her plan is to, and let me, I'll explain why she's doing this in just a moment, but I think this is fascinating. And I would encourage all of you white people, all of you Hispanic guys, Asian guys, it's time for all of us to identify. We've got to self-identify. We have to invoke our inner Rachel Dolezal. Remember her?

She was the president of the NAACP, and it turns out she was a white chick. She was just pretending to be black. How do you do that? How do you do that? so anyway um yeah so kamala is doing this and the also she's going to have opportunity zones for black men now i want to read this to you this is coming from her official campaign website uh kamala harris is announcing an opportunity agenda for black men that's the official title opportunity agenda for black men that's the official title she wants to give 1 million black men a fully forgivable 20 000 loan now white men would not be eligible for this loan neither would hispanic men or asian men only black men and this is why i think we've got to self-identify all you and look if it was if this was a loan just for hispanic men i would be todd starness i wouldn't even have changed my name just the emphasis um so that's where we are right now this is nothing more than a good old-fashioned bribe you say todd why is she doing this oh by the way she's also well i'll get to the i'll get to the marijuana part in just a But why is she doing this?

What is Kamala Harris up to?

Well, the reality here is that there's new polling data out that suggests Donald Trump could very well win more black male votes than any other Republican president in political history. This could be a history-making moment for Donald Trump. black men are not buying what kamala harris be selling let me repeat that again they're just not buying it they don't like her campaign they don't like the messaging and look this idea of her pandering you know going down and talking in a fake accent uh claiming that she prepares collard greens in her bathtub that she's going out and buying you know music from black artists And she's trying to boost her black street cred when her entire campaign, her entire political life, she's campaigned as an Indian.

So she's got to do something here. And some people would say this is a desperation move because now she's thinking, well, you know what? We're just going to offer black guys money.

So if if and I don't know if this is the first time that she's just given men cash for things. I don't know that. I don't know. But I can tell you it's a little off putting. Right.

And I have to imagine if I'm a black guy, which soon I will be, if I'm a black guy, I would be offended by this notion that my vote can be bought with a twenty thousand dollar, twenty thousand dollars cash and marijuana. You say, what's up with the marijuana? Oh, yeah, this is all part of the opportunity agenda for black men. I guess Kamala thinks that most black men in America just sit around at the barber shop and smoke the devil's lettuce. This woman is disgusting.

And may I just say something here, ladies and gentlemen? The Democrat Party is disgusting. Barack Obama's behind all of this, by the way. And he's out there telling Kamala, when all else fails, you got to pull out the race car. Yesterday, Obama writing this on his ex.

Kamala Harris has a plan that will lift up black men and their families. Oh, that's what Willie Brown said, by the way. I'm sure that was a coincidence. She's laid out some of the ways to get black men the tools to build wealth, achieve financial freedom and lower cost. and there's actually an entire agenda on the the website they literally say that Donald Trump this is a direct quote from Kamala Harris on her official campaign website Donald Trump is a serious threat to the lives of black men wasn't she the one throwing black men in jail left and right during her days as a prosecutor so here's what Kamala is going to do she's going to give Of all you black men, 20,000 cash, is that enough to buy your vote?

Black men of the Todd Stearns radio show audience, is that enough? Would you vote for Kamala Harris if she gave you a $20,000 check? Kamala also says she wants to legalize marijuana at the federal level to break down unjust legal barriers that hold black men and other Americans back. What does that mean? Is she just assuming that all black men in America sit around smoking joints?

How offensive is that? She also says that she wants to lower rent and provide down payment assistance to triple the number of new first-time black homeowners.

Now, did we not learn anything from back in the 2000s, the early 2000s? If you want to specify a date, 2008, when the entire real estate community collapsed. And why is it? Because Obama was out there giving people loans for homes they could not afford. We almost collapsed the entire economy of the United States because of that nonsense.

So here we are, ladies and gentlemen. When Kamala Harris and Barack Hussein Obama are now playing the race card and they think this is actually going to work. But I'm curious, black men of America, do you do buy into this? Can your vote be bought like that? And to you black men out there who are supporting Donald Trump, I'd be curious to know why you are doing that.

Why are you supporting Donald Trump?

Now, first of all, I would like to think this is all unconstitutional because hear me. All of these opportunities that are going to be provided to black men will not be provided to whites. They will not be provided to Hispanics, and they will not be provided to Asians.

So they're literally going to take $20,000 of your hard-earned money, and they're just going to give it to a black person, a black entrepreneur.

Well, you know what? I'm a small business owner. Where's my $20,000? I mean, if the government's going to be out there giving money away to small business owners, where's my cash? hence why i'm you know going through the process the change if you will so i'm curious about all of this ladies and gentlemen and honestly it ought to compel every hispanic asian and white person to get out there and send a message to the democrats that we're not going to tolerate this racism and that's what this is what you are what you are hearing is full-blown racism coming from kamala harris and correct me if i'm wrong here but the entire point of the civil rights movement was what to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin so just think about this for a moment imagine imagine what would have happened yesterday in philadelphia at the town hall if donald trump before he launched the the soul train dance fest if Donald Trump had got up there and announced that he was going to create an opportunity agenda for white men only imagine how the media would have covered that today that's what we're dealing with here folks but I'm telling you there's a war on black men in America and it's not coming from the Republican Party it's coming from the Democrats and there is you know what to pay for every black person who decides to unshackle themselves from the Democrat Party's plantation and go out there and live their American dream.

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

Now, I want to brag on you folks. I know we have an incredibly generous audience, but what you guys did yesterday blew me away so many of you know that we announced on monday that we are raising money for hurricane relief the conditions in western north carolina east tennessee are beyond catastrophic and apocalyptic and fema they've moved on as a matter of fact fema is now saying well it's too dangerous for us to be there that's a load of hooey they're leaving our fellow Americans behind. And I know that my church that I go to and many of your churches are doing what needs to be done. And I am raising $10,000 through our friends at Food for the Poor. And all of that money is going directly to Western North Carolina and East Tennessee, just $10,000.

And that money is going to be used to buy hand crank radios. Many people still do not have power. It could be months before they get clean drinking water.

So we're providing water purification packets. We're doing the whole nine yards.

So yesterday, let me tell you what happened yesterday. We told people we got to raise $10,000. Yesterday, you folks gave over $7,000 in just 24 hours.

So I think we're going to be able to meet our goal today, but then we want to exceed it. because those folks in North Carolina, those are our people. And we want to do whatever we can do. And I know money is tight, and so many of you are giving $20, $30, $40, $50, $100, whatever you can give. We really appreciate that.

So here's what you can do. Go to ToddStearns.com. You will see the red banner at the top of the page, Relief Supplies. Click there, and you'll be able to donate. That is the easiest way to do it, folks.

Again, go to ToddStearns.com, click on the Relief Supplies Donate Now banner at the top of the page, and let's reach our goal here by the end of the first hour, and then let's exceed the goal in the second hour. All right, got to take a break, folks. We'll be right back. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation honors our nation's greatest heroes, their sacrifices, and helps our nation to never forget. Mario Nelson was a special man who respected and loved America.

Mario joined the National Guard after 9-11. He volunteered to help with the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Later, Mario and his wife had a daughter. Motivated by his 9-11 experience, he enlisted in the U.S. Army.

Sergeant Mario Nelson later deployed to Iraq. Just two months shy of coming home, he was killed in action at the age of 26. Thanks to the support of friends like you, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation delivered a mortgage-free home to Mario's wife and daughter. In their darkest hours, that home brought them stability, peace of mind, and a place to call their own. Do good in honor of heroes like Mario, heroes who put their lives on the line for our country, our communities, and the freedoms we all enjoy.

Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T, the number two, T.org. Todd, do you actually believe, and I know you don't, that they would actually get that money once she got into office? It's just a way for her to get these votes from the black people and then screw them over, just like Obama's done in the past. You know, they said, oh, we're going to give debt forgiveness in college.

Well, I know people right now that said they still haven't got that yet.

So they talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk because they're full of the poo-poo. You know that. Oh, yes, they are, Mark, from Florida in the villages, America's friendliest hometown. The Democrats, sir, are indeed full of poo-poo. Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

Happy to have you with us. And, look, one of the things here that just really aggravates me about this, ladies and gentlemen, and especially as a southerner, a son of the South, I say, I say, I wish I was in Dixie, away, away, in the land of cotton. Anyway, as a son of the South, it really aggravates me when people are out there playing the race card, and the Democrats are always the ones doing it. They really are. And it's insulting, and it's offensive, because for whatever reason, many people in this country have been conditioned by their public scruels and critical race theory to think that white people are the oppressors and that black people are the oppressed.

And it is racist. And ladies and gentlemen, it is a lie from the pit of hell. It is. And we've got to stand up. And I know that a lot of talk radios don't like to talk about this, but this is the play.

And they know it's the play, and it's always the play, because the professional race agitators, they know that white people don't want to defend themselves. They know that white people don't want to stand up and say that they're full of you-know-what, also known as poo-poo, excrement. I don't know why I'm accenting certain. No, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm telling you, folks, people are terrified.

And so what happens is they shut up, they close their doors, and they sit there and they take it.

Well, we're not going to take it on this radio program. We're not going to do it. And I'm not going to let him get away with it either. This is disgusting. And it ought to enrage everybody, the black man and the white man and the Hispanic man and the Asian man.

Got anybody else out there? Any other people groups? Did I miss anybody? All right. 901-260-5926 is our number that's 901-260-5926 this is the Todd Stern Show folks hang on tight because we're heading into one of the most critical elections this nation's ever seen and let's be honest there's no guarantee it's going to go your way we've already seen how far the radical left will go to push their agenda.

If Kamala Harris takes the White House, you can expect more government control, higher taxes, and a full-blown assault on your freedoms. The stakes could not be higher, and you need to make it a priority to shield yourself. Gold is already up 21 percent this year and still climbing.

So we certainly appreciate all of you good folk. Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

I just got a text message. Todd, are you concerned? Are you concerned that people are going to call you a racist? No, I'm not concerned because they've already called me a racist. They've called me all sorts of names, but the reality is I am not.

and I'm not one of these people that goes out there and tells you who my friends are. I never do that. I don't tell you what I do. Organizations and groups I support, but I can tell you this. I've earned my bona fides.

I sure have. And I'm not afraid to call out these race agitators to their face. Barack Hussein Obama is a racist. By the way, there is a TV program that I actually kind of enjoyed watching.

Somebody said, oh, you got to check this show out. It's kind of entertaining. It's on ABC News or ABC, I'm sorry. And it's called Abbott Elementary. Any of you folks seen this Abbott Elementary?

And it's based in Philadelphia. And it's the story of a black elementary school and the lives of the teachers there. It's a comedy. and they have a token white guy um who is um some gay he's a gay teacher and he's always trying to um be one with the brothers it's kind of a running joke it's uh the running shtick and uh then there's there is another white teacher there and she's uh sort of she's italian and she's got that south Philly thing going on. Anyway, it's a pretty funny show.

So the brand new season opened up a couple of nights ago, and I thought, oh, I'll watch it. I had forgotten about it, and I watched the show. And the opening of the show was about a golf course that was being built in the community, and a white family showed up to enroll their white child in this all-black school. and the reaction to the teachers about having a white child in the school and they were yucking it up for the laughs i mean if that was if that if again if the races had been reversed but i'm telling you it's okay to make fun of white people in america we're the only we're the only demographic you are now allowed to make fun of is a white person and let me narrow that down a white christian and let me narrow that down a little bit further for you ladies and gentlemen white christian southerners that we are and if you want to we you know we'll break it down even further white christian southern rednecks we're fair game and you know what i'm okay with that i don't have a problem with it i've heard a few good redneck jokes but you know what i got friends with tractors. And when a hurricane hits the mountains and there are landslides, guess who we call?

We don't call FEMA. We call our friends, our neighbors, the folks we hang out with, those good old boys. But have you noticed that in just in the culture at large, you can't say anything about anybody, no ethnicities. I mean, back in the day, there was a TV show called All in the Family with Archie Bunker. And the great irony there, as funny as that show was, it was created by a far leftist, and so was the Jeffersons.

But it was funny because the liberals didn't realize that they were, in fact, the joke. That's what was so funny about it. But, man, everything was fair game. There was a time in this country where people were able to laugh, People are able to talk about their eccentric ethnicities, the eccentric ways of their ethnicities. You can't do that now unless you're going to poke fun at the white man.

Everybody else, how dare you? How dare you? You racist. Who do you think you are? And I will just I will give an illustration.

This is terrible.

So there's a place called Bath and Body Works. Is that like a woman's thing? Is that like a women's? Cassie is saying, yes, it's a woman's store. All right.

And so anyway, I guess you have what bath and body stuff is. I guess that's what it is. And they have candles.

So it turns out they just announced and released their new winter-themed candle designs. And one of them is called Snowden, an exclusively fragrant soy wax blend.

So, you know, it's a high-end frou-frou store. And so anyway, the candle was decorated. And it was decorated with snowflakes.

Now, I will admit, first glance didn't look like a snowflake. What it looked like, according to every racist organization of the country, those snowflakes bore striking resemblances to the hoods and robes worn by the Ku Klux Klan. And so at first glance you think, oh, that's a snowflake. But then after the story came out, I'm looking at it and I'm like, no, that looks just like a lovely little, holy cow. I'm sure David Dukes got one in every room of his house.

Jeez.

So all the professional race baiters are enraged and they're actually calling it a clandle. Get it? Like Ku Klux Klandle. At first, I didn't get it. I thought maybe maybe when they lit the wick, it was like in the form of a cross or something and they were burning across.

I had no idea so anyway bath and body works is telling instead of telling people are folks it's a snowflake and if you think it's anything other than a snowflake then that's on you but that is a snowflake but there are people who literally believe that whoever is in charge over at bath and body works was sitting around last year or whenever they're putting together their their winter products and they're saying you know you know we we really haven't we don't have anything on the on the shelves for the white supremacist of america and we need to really maybe maybe that's our demographic so that they literally think that happened so bath and body works instead of saying get a life they're saying oh we are so sorry we had no intention at all no intention of honoring the kkk well no kidding you morons nobody thinks you do so anyway they're pulling the candle and i just think this is pretty funny because you know cassie one of the things and one of the things you will discover about me on this program is I'm a curious person. And, you know, when, for example, when there was a story a couple of years ago about a woman who assaulted a man with a fried chicken, I wanted to know, was it the entire chicken? Was it just the breast? Was it fried? Was it?

I mean, these are important questions. You got to, you got to drill down and get the details.

So I was curious, what did the candle smell like? I mean, what does white supremacy smell like? And sure enough, I had to go onto the website and I was able to find this is the actual information, ladies and gentlemen.

So the Bath and Body Works White Supremacy Blend Candle emits a fragrance described as cozy vanilla. You can't make this up. Snowflakes triggered by a snowflake And this is the problem with America ladies and gentlemen So anyway there you go All that to say Donald Trump I do believe is going to win in a landslide And I want to be the first out there to say this. The country is in such turmoil right now. And I do believe that many people around this country, including many black Americans, say we're done with this.

We're done. We're done with the professional race agitators. We're done with a political party that promises us the sky and gives us nothing. We're tired of a political party that embraces illegal aliens and puts their needs ahead of ours and then shoves us out of the way. We're tired of it.

And what I find interesting about the Republican Party right now is it's really a Republican Party in name only. It's not a Republican Party anymore, folks. This is a hybrid populist slash libertarian slash conservative party with the emphasis on populism. The Republican Party is no longer the party of the Chamber of Commerce. It's the party of the working man.

That's what this is really all about. And that's why the Democrats are in a tailspin right now. Every single piece of polling data out there, folks, it's bad. When you look at the daily averages, Kamala Harris is in a free fall right now, and they don't know how to fix it. They thought they could send Barack Hussein Obama out there, and they thought Obama could.

No, he can't fix it.

So I want to posit a thought here because we're still waiting on the October surprise. And a lot of people thought the October surprise were the assassination attempts. Everything they have tried to get this man off the campaign trail has not worked.

So there is one more shoe that could drop. And this is a stretch, but hear me on this. right now according to according to the democrat party and they have rules and regulations governing all of this and and hear me because this is going to i i i already know how people are going to respond here but it could be possible that the democrats get together and they say for the sake of you know for the sake of the party they could say kamala here's the deal. You're not going to win. There's no way you're going to be able to win.

And here's the deal. We're going to shut. We're going to kick Joe out. He's going to go back to Delaware. You're going to become the president, but you're going to drop out of the race.

You say, Todd, what are you talking about?

So a few weeks ago, Joe Biden wore a MAGA hat. Remember that on the campaign trail? Everybody thought it was weird. I think it was intentional. I think Joe Biden was sending some sort of a signal that he was not a Kamala Harris fan.

That's ultimately, at the end of the day, I think that's what that was all about. Since the MAGA hat thing, he has been intentionally scheduling events to coincide with Kamala Harris's events. And what's happening is the media has to stop covering Kamala Harris, and they've got to start covering Joe Biden. And then what happened yesterday? Yesterday in Georgia, Bill Clinton literally said if the border had been secure, Lake and Raleigh would still be alive.

That was a complete broadside. Bill Clinton literally endorsed Donald Trump's border policies. As a matter of fact, the Trump campaign put out that message from Bill Clinton, and it's gone viral.

So my question is this. Is it possible that the October surprise is that the Democrats are actually going to replace Kamala Harris just before Election Day? You say, well, that's impossible. They can't do that. Oh, yes, they can do that.

If a presidential candidate drops out of the race before Election Day, both parties have a plan in place.

So on the Democrats, the Democrat National Committee is actually empowered to fill the vacancy on the national ticket after the party chair consults with Democrat governors and congressional leadership.

So you say, well, wait a second. They wouldn't have time to erase the names on the ballots. No, that's true.

So what they're saying is, and according to the rules, that if that's the case and Kamala Harris is no longer on the ballot, her name would still appear, but those votes would go to whoever the Democrats nominated.

So here it is, and this is my question. Is it possible that Hillary Clinton could be the October surprise? 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starnes Show. A large retail store just canceled a huge order, leaving MyPillow with a ton of extra MyPillows.

Right now, all of the help is literally coming from volunteers, veterans groups, and churches. And so that's why our effort here is so vitally important. FEMA has turned its back on these people.

And we can get into the politics of why at some other time, but right now we just got to help these folks.

Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's us, that's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starks.

Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starks radio program. I'm happy to have all of you folks joining us today, watching the show on Facebook, Getter, and Rumble TV. Also, I want to say thank you to all of our great listeners across this nation. More than 172 radio stations now broadcasting this program.

We've got a lot going on this hour of the show. I want to get right to it. Our good friend, Monica Crowley, joins us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. line. Monica, hope you are doing well today.

Hi, Todd. Great to be back with you.

So look, I was following your X feed and you were at LaGuardia and several other people have tweeted about this. You discovered some very interesting things for sale at the airport.

Well, thank you so much for having me back, Todd. And yes, I was actually on Sunday morning, bright and early. I was at LaGuardia Airport at around 8 a.m. en route to Chicago where, you know, I'm an official Trump surrogate now.

So I was on Chicago to speak to the Polish American Congress because I'm half Polish. And I was invited to speak there on behalf of President Trump, who could not make the event.

So I was at LaGuardia Sunday morning at 8 a.m. and I went to buy a bottle of water and maybe a paper or something. And I look up by the register and there were some chocolate bars, two sets of chocolate bars, one Donald Trump milk chocolate bar. And then behind President Trump's chocolate bars were Kamala Harris chocolate bars. And I was struck by the fact that Donald Trump was in front of Kamala Harris, even in New York, Todd.

Even in New York. yeah i did buy one and as i put up on x it is the breakfast of champions is it not i love it it's it's true uh meanwhile you've got the vice president uh and her running mate uh that guy's out there trying to shoot pheasants he can't even load a gun and now apparently the guy is a fan of diet mountain dew i know many hunters i know a lot of hunters i don't many of them who look or behave like Tim Walz does out in the field?

Well, you know, it gets to a bigger point about how both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are fakes and frauds and phonies. And it comes across in every single thing they do and say. The episode that you're describing is a direct result of the fact that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are not generating support among American men, and in particular black men, which is why they wheeled out Barack Obama to try to school black men and try to intimidate them into coming back into the Democrat fold. It's not going to work. But Tim Walz, they sent him out there to do some pheasant hunting, and for quite a while, at least on social media, there was not a shotgun in sight.

So I don't know, was he going to talk the pheasants to death? I don't know what he was going to do. But eventually the guns came out, but he didn't know how to load it, and it was just a huge mess. Everything with them is totally contrived. Everything with them is poll-tested and group-tested because there's nothing authentic about them.

They certainly cannot talk about policy because their policies have created an abject catastrophe in this country.

So Kamala Harris and Timbalt cannot talk about inflation, which reached a 40-year high. under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. They can't talk about the broader economy, which is very weak. They can't talk about crime or law and order because that's all spiking and law and order is collapsing. They can't talk about their no borders policy because that's created an abject cataclysm around America.

They can't talk about world peace because you have two new hot wars and China's sending a terrorist groups crossing the border.

So they have literally nothing to talk about So they have to stage these kinds of stunts to convince people to vote for them, and it's not working. In fact, every time they go out with one of these contrived events, Todd, their numbers go down, not up. Yeah, it's so inauthentic, and I think people are a lot smarter these days. They've been down this road before, and they see Kamala for who she really is. and this latest stunt of offering a million black men $20,000 in forgivable loans.

That's nothing more than a flat-out bribe. Right, and bribery is illegal in this country. She's trying to buy votes. I mean, it's so obvious. Look, they tried first.

The first round was trying to remove student loan debt from younger voters, millennials, and so on. that was an attempt to buy younger people's votes with our money. You know, it's our money. We work hard. We pay our taxes.

They're directing all the money from regular Americans to try to buy votes from these various groups, whether it's students, whether it's black men, you name it. They're out there throwing spaghetti against the wall, massive amounts of money that we do not have and cannot afford to spend. We certainly can't print it. We're $36 trillion in debt. We're running annual deficits of $2 trillion.

There is no more money, and yet they're giving it away like can be, and we're going to be the ones left holding the bag if any of this goes through. The good news is, if the polls are to be believed, the momentum is with President Trump. I don't think he's peaked yet, Todd. You want to peak as you get very close to the election, and it looks like he is on that wave right now. Kamala Harris peaked the day Joe Biden stepped aside on that Sunday and anointed her as his successor.

That was sort of her peak time. And then the imperial media has been working overtime ever since trying to prop her up and create something out of nothing with her. They've failed miserably. She's only been sliding ever since. And conversely, Donald Trump has been picking up enormous support, and it keeps growing.

I'm curious here, Monica, and folks, again, we have Monica Crowley joining us, host of the Monica Crowley podcast. You can follow Monica on access at Monica Crowley. Monica, I think the Democrats see this. They know this. The internals have to be staggeringly awful.

And you had some folks from the Trump campaign yesterday, Jason Miller, chief among them, wondering if, in fact, they may end up replacing her with somebody. I did a little bit of digging, and it turns out you can actually do that. The Democrats, if a candidate drops out, the Democrats can actually put somebody else on the ticket. Do you think that could be the October surprise here?

Well, who would it be? Would it be Michelle Obama? Would it be Hillary Clinton? We have no idea. Look, it is very late in the game.

This election is literally three weeks away from today. Three weeks away. 20 days away.

So if they're going to try to pull like a Hail Mary pass and replace Cummins at the top of the ticket, this is logistically very difficult. Yeah. Is it impossible? No. And they're Democrats, which means they're communists and communists can do whatever the heck they want.

So I wouldn't take it completely off the table, but they are increasingly desperate. And look, the truth is they thought Donald Trump would not be alive. They thought he would not be with us. And so they could ram through this communist imbecile in Kamala Harris through the process and get her across the finish line. But thank God, literally thank God, Donald Trump is still with us.

That has complicated their calculations. They are scrambling.

So, again, nothing is impossible, Todd, especially when it comes to them on the other side. But it is very, logistically, it's very difficult. People are already voting. They've already cast their vote for President Trump or for Kamala Harris.

So if they were to switch out Kamala at this late date, what happens to all of those votes? All of those voters have been disenfranchised if it's suddenly Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket, right? And their votes are already in the system.

So I doubt they're going to go there. I think now perhaps if they have come to the conclusion that President Trump is going to win this, now they're calculating how to stop him in other ways. And you've got big Democrats like Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman in the House talking about refusing to certify him on January 6th should he win.

So as our friend Steve Bennett often said, when President Trump wins, that will be the easiest day. And then after that, every day is going to be Stalingrad, where we're going to be fighting block to block to block, because they're going to do everything they can to undermine him. But that is actually a good problem to have. Let's all work to register voters, get out and vote, grab 10 of your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and vote. We need to swap the vote, make it too big to rig, overwhelm the entire corrupt system, and get President Trump across the finish line.

And equally important, we have to get more numbers of Republicans in the House, and we've got to retake the Senate. And I know there's a lot of concern. I was talking to some folks close to Ted Cruz. They're really concerned about that race down in Texas.

So those down ballot races are going to be very important. Yes, absolutely. I mean, President Trump, as strong as he is, cannot do everything by himself.

Okay.

So when he is reelected, he's going to need backup in the House of Representatives with a retained and grown majority there. And we've got to flip the U.S. Senate.

So there are a lot of critical races. I mean, the fact that Ted Cruz is that his race is as close as it is in Texas tells you that the left has had tremendous success in infiltrating these traditionally red states like Arizona and Texas and getting illegals in there, getting them voting and the rest of it. We have to be hypervigilant and we have to elect a full Republican ticket. I don't care if you can't stand the Republican dog catcher at the bottom of your ballot. You go Donald Trump, J.D.

Vance all the way down to your local dog catcher and vote for them because we've got to just overwhelm the system if we're going to have any chance of taking our country back. It's all hands on deck. And real quick, Monica, let's talk about the podcast. Who do you have coming up? Oh, you're so kind.

Thank you so much.

Well, last week I had J.D. Vance on the show, and it really was an extraordinary conversation.

So please go check that out. And I've got all kinds of really fun guests. In fact, on Thursday this week, I'm going have the ex-slash-Twitter legend, Cat Turd. Cat Turd is going to join me. I know, everybody knows Cat Turd, right?

And he's just a normal, hardworking guy, an American patriot, who has become a Twitter legend, and he's going to join me on Thursday this week. But on today's show, I've got the actor and comedian Rob Schneider.

So please, everybody, go check it out. The show is streamed on Rumble at the Monica Crowley podcast. and you can also find it on Apple, Google, or Spotify. All right, there you go, folks. Where else can you watch interviews with J.D.

Vance and Cat Turd than Monica Crowley's podcast? This is true, Todd, true. Monica, enjoy that milk chocolate Trump candy bar, and we're going to be looking forward to the podcast. Always good hearing from you. Thank you so much, Todd.

God bless. All right, God bless you. That's Monica Crowley, host of the Monica Crowley podcast. Folks, again, this is, it's all hands on deck. We've got to get everybody out to the poll.

We were talking about this yesterday. You vote straight party ticket here, folks. That's how serious of a situation we're in. The choice is very clear when you walk into that polling station on Election Day. Early voting, I believe, starts tomorrow here in the volunteer state.

Here's the choice you have to make. You can either vote for freedom or you can vote for Marxism. That's it. You can vote for good. You can vote for evil.

Those are your two choices. All right, we've got to take a quick break here. 901-260-5926. Are you feeling the big mo, ladies and gentlemen? Are you feeling it?

901-260-5926. Somebody sent me a photo. And Democrats, very upset here in the Memphis area because they are seeing more Trump signs than they are Harris signs in Memphis, Tennessee. That's what it's all about. We'll be right back.

That could happen today and we're only on day two of this. One of the things that we're raising money for today, diapers. There is a huge need for diapers.

I was telling you yesterday some friends of mine, Paul and Michelle Cox, they live in western North Carolina right outside of Asheville and they were telling me they had to drive all the way to South Carolina to go grocery shopping and even then the store shelves were pretty empty.

so they need a lot of supplies um and diapers we're talking about water purification packets and uh tamara has a justin us a donation of 50 randy 100 dennis 25 god bless you all so very much and again toddstearns.com 100 of your donation goes to help our friends and neighbors in east tennessee and western north carolina all right let's go to the phone lines here mike from maine wlob our great affiliate there hi mike what's on your mind today well uh first off your buddy uh ray richardson and his friends have a caravan on the way to north carolina starting tomorrow i think it's like eight tractor trailers full of stuff to get out so hats off to ray and them Look, the reason I called, I heard you mention critical race theory earlier. You know, I'm not sure if the people out there are aware of how this entered our schools. It was entered into our school by a main man, Exan Tanner, and his wife, Rebecca Garland, the daughter of Merrick Garland. They run what is known as Panorama Education for Equity and Inclusion.

Now, they've infiltrated 50 of the 100 largest school districts in our nation.

So far as 2021, they're in 23,000 schools in 15 districts across the nation.

Now, open the books, did a little investigation into this. In 2021, they were already worth $76 million. dollars this is the attorney general of the united states daughter and son-in-law pretty shocking huh well what does that tell you mike i mean what do you extrapolate from that Well it the same old cabal down in D That what I extrapolate This is the cabal that Donald Trump is trying to break up down there.

Well, let me say this. Mike, let me finish here. Donald Trump has to dismantle all of this. When he gets back into office, he has to do it. There's going to be a lot of work, but the most important, The most pressing issue is dismantling the deep state, dismantling the Department of Education.

And we need to just tear down the building and pour salt on the ground. That never needs to come back. Maybe an exorcism at work. There you go.

Well, all right, Mike. God bless you, and thank you for that bit of knowledge there on CRT. But the whole point of CRT is to create a race war in America. That's the whole point. And we can't let that happen.

We cannot let that happen. By the way, real quick here, we've been following North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. He has now announced they had a press conference this morning. Governor Robinson is suing CNN for $50 million over that report last month, alleging he made lewd comments on a porn website over a decade ago. The lieutenant governor says that he vehemently denies the allegations, calling it a high-tech lynching.

He accused CNN of election interference. He said, we are holding CNN accountable, and we're going to get to the bottom of what's going on here.

Well, good for you, Mr. Lieutenant Governor. I'm glad to see you fighting back. And I'm telling you, when you've got a lawmaker willing to file a lawsuit, I tend to side with the lawmaker here.

So I'm curious, all of you people in North Carolina, Are you still on board the Mark Robinson train? He has now officially filed a lawsuit against CNN. 901-260-5926, our number, that's 901-260-5926. Head over to the website, toddstearns.com. Help us out with our disaster relief.

Host of the Ben Dieter. What is the morning show called? The Ben Dieter Show? The morning show. Oh, the morning show.

The morning show. Oh, that's kind of boring. They say your generation is Gen Xers, the coolest generation. We are cool. I think we are cool.

Well, I would open that up to the listeners, but I do think the question is why is Generation X, Gen X, why is that the coolest generation? I think it's a pretty independent generation. Everybody after that, I don't know what happened before that, right? You've got the boomers, baby boomers. The boomers were our parents.

Yes, okay, so then there's Gen Xers, and then everything past that went to pot. I think that the late stage baby boomers and the Gen Xers, when they started having kids, I think there was a blowback because so many of us grew up and we were latchkey kids. We were so independent, and now a lot of parents are trying to compensate for that. I think that history shows that we are a really reflective generation.

So we'll often, there'll be one generation that's extremely helicopter-y and that's parenting and they're hands-on type of parents. I think that's what happened with millennials where you got the term helicopter parents. And then you have Gen Z. And because they grew up not being able to actually grow up because their parents were constantly like, let me be part of your interview process to get into college or God forbid you go to a playground and you're not wearing knee pads and a helmet. we're actually a generation that's starting to act more like Gen Xers.

Really? Yeah. Because, I mean, you're not kidding. And that's why you're seeing Gen Zers also get more Republican. I'm wondering how many people, and we'll take calls on this, because I think I'm fascinated by this.

How many of you, when you were growing up, you never wore a seatbelt, right? You piled into the back of a pickup truck, and your dad would drive you all over the place. um i don't know how many of you your parents sent you into the stop and go to get cigarettes and a six-pack and they wouldn't check your id because you're a kid you know you'd they'd send you in to do all they allowed that well they did in the south what about here's what tom was telling me back in my day todd says they would smoke in convenience stores or stores i mean that's insane or what people would smoke in stores i can't even imagine you would be banished from a store i just wonder oh look if you think that's bad they would they would have a smoking that you would only be allowed to smoke in the back of an airplane so you had like little ashtrays but as soon as you walked in it didn't matter if you were in first class or in the back you were getting lung cancer it was like you know you're heading from idolo memphis to atlanta and you know you're going to get a disease my how times have changed i can't even imagine if you were allowed to smoke a cigarette They'll arrest you if you have a vape on a plane. There was also a time when you could just walk directly to the gate. You didn't have to get molested by a stranger.

Wow. I mean, these days, you walk into the airport, and it's like going to a P. Diddy's house. One of those freak-offs, but it's unfortunately with a TSA agent. By the way, roll of thumbs, gentlemen out there, watch your new pants.

They make pants with buttons, metal buttons, and they got me. They got me good. Really? Yeah, it was rather inappropriate. Did they do the wand or did they do the hand?

It was a full-on hand invasion of the other regions. And I didn't want to stereotype about the TSA person doing it, but I was embarrassed, let's just say. You know, this is America. Post-2020, post-2001. Did you get flowers?

Did it call? No! They offer you a cigarette? No, no, no. It was humiliating.

well that's interesting i mean you're right a lot has changed of course even back in the 70s and 80s our tv was a lot cooler you know the tv shows because no one was really afraid of offending people if a joke was funny a joke was funny and you know we just had monica crowley on and she's part polish i didn't know that did you know that i should have asked her about pierogies but anyway the whole point is if you had a good polish joke or i'm from the south so if you had a good redneck joke. It was funny. Nobody got offended. But don't you think that we're correcting course a little bit? Do you notice those trends?

Because we went through cancel culture. Do people even get canceled anymore? You're like the culture beat reporter of America.

So maybe it's still happening. But I don't know. I think that a lot of people have whiplash and we're reverting back to some normalcy. I've often wondered, you know, a lot of these rappers out there, the hip hop, and you've got a lot of the kids and the burbs, and they want to be cool. They want to be like gangsta, and they will buy the music.

And then they start singing along to it, and they get caught. And they sing the lyrics, and the lyrics are words they're not allowed to say, and their lives are destroyed. And I often wonder now if this is intentional, if the hip-hop artists are intentionally putting these words, knowing that the white children of America are going to buy their music, and then they're going to sing along? I grew up listening to Patch the Pirate.

So, you know. What is a Patch the Pirate? Yes, Todd. I was raised in a Christian home. We didn't listen to Tupac or God knows some of these artists.

Did you have like an Amy Grant poster in your room, with the leopard print. Oh, that was my generation. Mine was Toby Mac. I think Amy Grant has grandchildren your age. Back in the 80s, that was the thing.

You had Amy Grant, who was the seductress, and then you had... A seductress?

Well, as much as you can be in the church. She showed a little ankle. And then you had Michael W. Smith, who was kind of like the edgy, and you had Stephen Curtis Chapman, who was the goody two-shoes. What about Chris Tomlin?

Where did he fit into the puzzle piece? He wasn't born yet. Oh.

So, but I'm not sure at what time did Tomlin write that one song they play all the time on K-Love.

Okay.

So I have a little bit of a controversy.

So there is a rapper in Memphis that recently just got the keys to our city. Her name is Glowrilla. Glow. Glowrilla. No, Todd.

There is an L in there. It's Glow. Glowrilla. Yeah. Glowrilla.

Yeah, Glow.

So she just collaborated with Kirk Franklin and the Christian contemporary group Maverick City.

Okay.

And if you go to a church that has a fog machine on stage, you've heard Maverick City music. They're very, they're almost like Hillsong. They come up with those songs and the church sings them.

Well, that's like a nightclub church, right?

Okay.

But even in your church, Todd, I could almost guarantee you that they take some of the music from Maverick City and some of these, yes, even the nightclub church artists, and they put them into their songs. They've got the jumbotrons. Everybody's looking up at the stage and you go on.

So anyways, there's a lot of backlash right now because you've got a contemporary Christian group collabing with someone who, let's just say, might be outside of the fold.

so you're judging but now they're getting all sorts of backlash from christian what are you doing collabing with someone uh glorilla for example that's a good question i was actually looking and she's 25 years old you know what her real name is i do gloria hallelujah but she goes by glorilla pimp on social media so something happened there in sunday school and she took a wrong turn yeah um and she i've read her lyrics we can't repeat any of these on the air at all because they're really that bad yeah but you're telling me now because the whole christian music industry is just a weird thing right now and and basic and and some of it is very good but but most of it is like bad american idol acts it's like american idol rejects yeah and so now Now you're telling me that they're collabing with Glorilla in a new song called Rain Down on Me. Rain Down on Me. And Glorilla raps through the song. And, you know, I'm looking at some of it. She talks about her baby father.

She wants the Lord to bless her baby father. You mean the baby daddy? Yeah. Okay.

I guess maybe the Christian artist said you can't use baby daddy, so baby father. um also she says quote it's hard to talk about my blessings they be saying i'm acting cocky so it's an interesting twist to a christian song but they say here's the reasoning and maybe this is a question for you and your listeners that it's the means to an end the means is working with a secular artist like glorilla to the end which is more people listening to christian music and we'll get into heaven or why not just write some really good songs and actually you know learn how to play an instrument and sing 901-260-5926 is our telephone number that's 901-260-5926 let's go to joanne in south haven listening to us on kwam and joanne i know you want to you're going to explain why gen x why we are the way we are well it's because we put up with a lot of crap and we've always been on our own pretty much our parents let us go out whenever wherever we wanted to go and um you know they we didn't have cell phones so there was no check-in and And like I do with my kids, I make them check in with me and, you know, call me or send me a text, let me know that they made it somewhere. And, you know, we didn't have that. It was when the streetlights came on as when we had to be home. And you had mentioned the cigarettes, buying cigarettes without ID.

I grew up in Frazier, and there used to be a little convenience store on the corner of, I think it was Watkins in Hollywood, if I think correctly. And they would never ask me for ID. I was probably 13, and I would just walk in there and buy cigarettes for my friends. Wow. They would never ask me for anything.

That's insane. And, Joanne, I don't want to cast shade on Ben Dieter, who's a great American patriot, but most of our generation, the young men of Gen X, by the time we were 12 years old, we had a full beard. And I can't even grow sideburns, and I'm 26.

Something happened. Yeah, I can't explain the beard situation, but my son, my youngest son is 16, and he has facial hair.

so um thanks joanne thanks joanne it's probably just an egg i don't know blame your parents but but joanne i'm just curious so the fact that we were pretty much latchkey kids left her own devices what does that mean latch latchkey yeah it sounds like a tribe yeah so it's that's that's when your parents both your parents worked and you had a little key that you had to get into your home after school because nobody was there to let you in. Oh, okay.

So Joanne, is it possible that the way we were raised, did that influence how you raised your kids? Are you more of a helicopter parent? Are you hovering? Yes, but I try to give them their space and let them make their own decisions and opinions especially when it comes to politics because they know how heavily involved i am with that yeah but because i think because of that because of me allowing them to make their own opinions and decisions they are actually all republicans three out of the four are all registered to vote um and they all plan on voting in this upcoming election let's go and that that was you know i didn't tell them either way you know sometimes they would watch the debates with me and for you sometimes they wouldn't and you know they let them i let them form their own opinion yeah well joanne we're gonna have to leave it there but i appreciate the perception and again thank you for the call 901-260-5926 it is uh let's go to cheryl in florida woca our great affiliate down there with the boomer perspective hi cheryl hey there um i am a 69 year old registered nurse i'm still working full time i just wanted to say that back in the 70s when i started. The nurses wore these cute white uniforms, little dotted twist mini skirts, and we're allowed to smoke at the nurse's station and wherever else we wanted to.

Oh my gosh. In the 60s, I used to go to the 7-Eleven and I would buy my mom 35 cents a pack of cigarettes or whatever else she needed and nobody questioned the thing.

So I know there's good change in him, but it was kind of fun back then. I forgot about that, Cheryl. Your doctor's doing surgery and he's got an ashtray by the side. Don't get any ashes in the open wound. Not in the surgery because of the oxygen, but that's a nurse's face insure.

Wow, I forgot about that. And, of course, you know, the flight attendants were called stewardesses, and they had to be, I mean, if you remember this, Cheryl, I know this is going to shock Ben Dieter, but if you weighed more than you were supposed to weigh, you could get fired. That's very true, but you have to admit that the uniforms were a lot cuter. It's very attractive, Cheryl, as well as the nurses. I mean, you know.

Well, yeah. This is so insightful. Cheryl, your boomer perspective as it went into the call screen, very, very insightful. I had no idea that in this country a nurse could have an ashtray near her.

Now any days, I mean, you have to be in a hazmat suit just to go in and see a doctor. It's insane. Yes, things change. All right. Thank you.

Thank you. I love Cheryl. That's great. I forgot about that. All right.

901-260-5926. Can you stick around? You're my boss. All right. We'll be right back.

All right, Todd Stearns back with you, our good buddy, our favorite Gen Zer, Ben Dieter. Let's go to Cindy in Dallas wants to talk about Glorilla. Hi, Cindy. What's going on?

Well, Todd, I'm about the same age as you. And so I do remember what the good old days were like when we were growing up, but how things were just different. And I raised my kids completely different because of that. But anyway, back to Kirk Franklin. He goes to the same church I do, which is a rather large church in Dallas.

And he's not there all the time because he travels and whatnot. But he's done this in the past. And he can be quite controversial in a lot of other things. And he'll get called out on the carpet, you know, on it a few times. And he's worked with controversial artists in the past as well.

And I don't, the problem with this is, if you make the church like the world, you're not attracting the world. you're becoming the world because you know sin is a slippery slope and when you start to change the direction of the message of the gospel and make it more uh you you there's a line and when you start crossing over into it you know i think that's what's going on with him um and i don't believe it's going to draw anybody in if anything he can witness to her but to bring her completely you know and she's she's still going to stay in her lane of who she is as an artist i think i think that that's going to be a little bit damaging i'm with you cindy i and look i you know i can handle the spoke and the lights and the music you know the stripper pulls a bit much but that's just me you know my denomination we're baptist we eat a lot so you know yeah yeah recommend that it's all right cindy great thought yeah well to her point remember with kirk franklin he went to the White House to celebrate Juneteenth. Remember him and Kamala Harris up on the stage together? Oh, I forgot about that.

Well, that was close. Yeah, it's hard. And then my denomination, we don't have rhythm. You know, that's a big problem.

So then you got to worry about if you're on K-Love. I mean, what happens if Glorilla drops an F-bomb or two, which she normally does in her casual conversation. Yeah. Well, the next, here's the thing, to the last caller's point, if you click to the next song in the album, it talks about how to divorce your husband.

So it's a very interesting collaboration. All right. Ben Dieter. Oh, wow. We're down the time.

Speaking of interesting collaborations, Ben Dieter. A Gen Xer and a Gen Zer. That's a collab. We'll see you tonight on Newsmax. See you tonight.

All right. Hey, Melanie, hang tight. Don't go anywhere. Jessica wants to weigh in on Gen Xers. Folks, head over to our website.

Click on that Disaster Relief at the very top of the page. Make sure you donate. Let's help the good people of the Carolinas. We'll be right back. 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 Starnes.

Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes radio program.

So very happy to have you with us. It is October 15th. That means early voting is underway in Georgia. and very curious georgia one of our battleground states and folks it's going to require every single republican to get out there and to vote in the state of georgia we need georgia to go for donald trump well i want to go right to the phone lines because melanie was kind enough to hold on and melanie i understand you just voted uh listening to us on wdun tell us what you saw Hello, Todd. I did pull into my polling place to vote, and I saw that people were lined up outside onto the sidewalk to vote.

And when I got inside, I asked them, and they said it had been that way since they opened this morning at 7 o'clock.

So I was thankful and blessed that I was able to go vote, and I just wanted to say a praise that people are coming out and voting in big numbers.

well that's exciting and and that's the way it's going to have to be uh we have got to get out the vote and we've been telling people and melanie i'm curious is that the message you're hearing locally is to get out and and vote early uh yes i hear a lot of that and uh uh a lot on uh facebook with friends and and family that i'm uh associated with or putting out you know that we have to vote And so I'm just encouraged by seeing that many people outside already on the first day waiting to get inside to vote. I thought that was exciting, and I wanted to share it with you.

Well, I sure am glad you did, Melanie, and thank you for calling in. Let's go to Kim in Georgia listening to us on WTUN. Kim, you just heard Melanie there. What was your experience like?

Okay, thanks, Todd, and we love you in Georgia. Thank you for taking my call.

So, so many of us are so ready to get the Democrats out of power. We were ready to start with the voting today. It was the first day in Georgia allowed. And in the county where I live, there are about 50,000 people. We're about 45 minutes north of Gainesville, about an hour and a half north of Atlanta.

In the county seat of Habersham County and the little town of Clarksville, the one and only precinct where you can vote was closed down. It's not available to vote early there until October the 26th, and this was very misleading on our website. We had many elderly people showing up there with walkers, wheelchairs. No signs were out front that they had to go to the southern part of the county where the only precinct that's available to vote is open. It's it.

For 10 whole days, that will be the only place that any part of the county can vote early.

So that leaves only about five or six days for both precincts, And I just find that very odd. I started asking questions. I called the governor's office because I was being told, well, the other one's closed due to money. And then I was told by the county clerk people in that office, it's a state law.

So that sounded suspicious. I called the governor's office. They said, no, that is not a state law. You were misled there.

So I just thought that was very odd. That's very unusual. And, Kim, I know that our friends at WDUN, they carry this program. They have one of the best radio news departments in the country. And I'm sure they're going to be all over this.

If you haven't alerted them, I'm sure they're listening to it right now. I have called them. I called the paper, called the governor's office. I thought, I'm calling Todd also.

Well, no, I'm glad you did, Kim. And, again, this goes for anybody anywhere in our listening audience across the country. If you see strange things like that, give us a call. Let us know about it so we can shine some light on it. Because, Kim, as you know, every single vote is going to matter on Election Day.

That's right, Todd. That's it. It's coming down to the vote. I mean, we can talk about rallies. We can talk about Harris.

We can talk about President Trump and their performances, their personalities. But it comes down to those numbers. That's it. And we all have a job to do. I can tell you this, Kim, tomorrow is when early voting starts in Tennessee.

I'm going to be out there. I know exactly where I'm going, and I hope I have to stand in line for a while. Right. Thank you. All right, Kim.

Thank you. And again, Kim was mentioning to us in Habersham County, there were some issues there with early voting.

So we do want to hear from you, folks. If, in fact, you're out there and you decided to take part in early voting in Georgia, which is a battleground state, give us a call. Let us know what's happening. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Now, look, this is why this is important. Governor Glenn Youngkin was on CNN yesterday, and he was schooling Jake Tapper over this crazy story.

So you've got the Justice Department that's now suing Virginia and Alabama for removing non-citizens from the voter rolls.

Now, keep in mind, non-citizens are not allowed to vote in our elections. All right. And so Governor Glenn Youngkin in Virginia and you've got the folks in Alabama. They said we're taking these these non-citizens off the voters rolls. And now Biden's coming and says, no, you can't do that.

You know who they're not suing? They're not suing California. and California is allowing non-citizens to be on the ballot. Do you see what's going on here? Do you see the play?

Do you see how this is all playing out? This is how they're going to try to steal the election, which is why we've got to make sure we get our butts up and out to vote early and to vote on Election Day if you're not going to vote early.

So this is Governor Glenn Youngkin yesterday on CNN. Cut one. Why not just honor that 90-day period?

Well, let me just first begin. It's anything but a purging program. it begins with someone identifying themselves as a non-citizen. And I guess I would posit back to you, do you think that non-citizens, when they've self-identified as a non-citizen, should stay on the voter roll and therefore be in a position to potentially vote in a presidential election? I don't think any non-citizen should vote.

How are they self-identifying? How does that happen? They actually tick a box that says, I am a non-citizen, or they do not answer the question that they are a citizen. And therefore, they self-identify that they are not a citizen in the United States of America. And this is why this is so out of bounds in my mind from the Justice Department.

They fully understand this. They understand the process starts with a person self-identifying as a non-citizen. And then there is a match with that person's name on the voter rolls. And they are given not just one, but up to three times in order to try to cure it. And this is why I find this to be a very very unreal moment that is stunning that they filed this suit 25 days before a presidential election when in fact this has been going on in accordance with our Constitution the federal Constitution and state law since 2006 So there you go.

And who do you think those non-citizens are going to be voting for? I can tell you one thing, it's not going to be Donald J. Trump. That's, and that's why this is so important. All right, let's go to Randy listening to us from White County, Georgia, which is home to the great Truett McConnell University.

All right, Randy, what can you tell us about voting in White County? My wife and I just voted, and it's out the door. You wait in line 20 to 30 minutes. According to the people there, it's been like that all day. Everybody's coming to vote.

It's a good sign. It's a good feeling seeing everybody out there. What's the vibe, Randy? You said you were standing in line for a while. What are folks talking about?

Oh, they're happy. You know, we can't really talk politics in the building. But basically, White County has always been traditionally red. We've been here for six years now. We came from Harris County, which is the Columbus, Georgia area and that area.

And they're basically the same.

So it's a good vibe. People know that this is a very, extremely important election, and I believe they're finally getting off their butts and voting.

So that's the feeling we're getting up here. Randy, have you done early voting in the past? I have, but generally I've always voted on the day because, you know, you start wondering. If you vote early, are they waiting to see how many votes they need? talk about on the Democratic side so they could get some of these illegal votes in, ballot stuffing, and, you know, so they know how much they got to top off.

But right now, you know, we just have to vote, vote, vote. That's it. And I'm curious, so compared to previous years, early voting, bigger turnout than in years past? Massively bigger. I've never seen anything like it.

Wow. That's exciting to hear. Randy, appreciate the eyewitness reporting there, and we appreciate you listening to the show again our number and randy listening to us on wrwh our great affiliate there in cleveland georgia our telephone number 901-260-5926 if you did take part in early voting in georgia give us a call let us know what's happening hang tight folks got to take a break and while we are at the break um i just have to give you a huge shout out i want to give you an update we've been following our numbers we are raising disaster relief funds right now for the good people of eastern tennessee and western north carolina today we are focusing on buying diapers also those hand crank radios and lights as well as water purification packets they say it could be a month or two before water service is restored to some of those areas and just so you know, I know many, many of our listeners have vacation in that area. It's gone. Large swaths of where we all used to vacation are just gone.

And the topography has literally been wiped away.

So what was once there is no longer there. That's why this is going to take a long, long time.

So we need your help. Our goal is to raise $10,000. Yesterday, we started right now, We're at $8,100, and we need your help. Go to ToddStearns.com. At the very top of the page, there is a banner.

If you don't see the banner, click on the live show blog, and that's the lead story at the top of the page, and there will be a direct link to our disaster emergency relief funding. We'll give some shout-outs a little bit later on in the show. In the meantime, 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stearns Show. All right, welcome back.

Here's Sunny Hauston. She's one of the squawking magpies over on The View. She has a problem with all of you black men that are voting for Donald Trump. Cut three. But, you know, we can't poll people's hearts and we can't see into people's hearts.

And so when we're looking at these polls and we're looking at who is voting for Trump, You've got 53% of white women that voted for him in 2020. We've got to reach those women. We've got to reach those ridiculous, crazy black men that did vote for Trump. We've got to reach those people. We've got to reach the Cuban men in Miami that overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

I don't know what their hearts look like, but I know what their votes look like. But I'm not talking, just, you know, I'm not speaking to people's hearts. And I am sunshine and rainbows. But I am not Pollyanna in this world. What I'm speaking to is when you resonate with someone's heart, and Kamala has a good heart.

Alyssa and I were speaking after she was here, and one thing Alyssa finished with is, regardless of how someone answers the questions or how they perform or how they navigate it, her empathy resonates. She is a good person at the end of the day.

So what I'm saying is I do trust the good in humanity in how they vote. When you look at your – stop putting on black and white policy and paper. Oh, geez. You know, I understand now why most of the women on that program are single and they can't find husbands. I get it.

I mean, please. She's a little. Anyway, Sonny Hosted's out there now saying that all you black men who are voting for Donald Trump are ridiculous and crazy. It's it is a full assault. And this is and this is why this is why black men are not supporting the Democrats right now.

That's the reason why. OK, let's go back to the phones. West Tennessee, WTJS, downtown Ricky Brown is joining us. All right, downtown, what say you?

Okay, there's nothing I enjoy any better than promoting Todd Stearns and carrying you right here with the Frankie Lack Show in Jackson, Tennessee. But let me get right to the point. Please. I think the nut radio network that you just played is totally wrong. I'm listening to just about every radio station in this area, especially on Sundays.

And I will tell you this, more and more of the educated, well-knowledgeable, informed people, including African-American males, are saying they're looking at their pocketbook, they're looking at the gas station, they're looking at the grocery store, call it whatever it is. They're voting for Trump primarily for financial reasons because of their billfold and their wallet. And here's my take quickly, Todd. I think it's going to be a landslide If there's only one person in the country That can blow this election And that's Donald Trump If he'll stay away from the Saturday Night Live stuff I think it's his to lose And I think it's going to be overwhelming 44, 45 states If you'll notice, I don't really go by numbers Or polls But everything is shifting in his direction Here in Tennessee He's solid as a rock, especially in West Tennessee But let's take this And go forward and save this country and start looking at the financial part. Because, Todd, when you go to the grocery store, your groceries cost the same as mine, the same as black people, any race of people, the groceries are the same.

And I think for no other reason, including the border, people are going to elect him overwhelmingly with a lot more majority of African-American males because they're smart enough to realize the Democrat Party has done nothing but throw them on the bus. They're not being included either. folks we've got to save our country as adrian edelman says here locally we've got to save this country well yeah we do and we've been we've been talking about those polling numbers and did a little deep dive last night on the newsmax tv show uh with the abc cbs and nbc news polls and it's kamala is dropping like a rock and this is donald trump's to lose and so donald trump is going to have to play it smart between now and an election day if i were him i would just be very very careful uh because the media is going to be on high alert uh every little thing he says will be torn apart but i gotta but but honestly uh downtown i i think even if trump gets out there and says something outrageous i don't think it's going to matter i think the american people they know who Donald Trump is and they've accepted him warts and all so downtown thank you for the call uh gotta run let's go to Jessica in North Carolina wants to weigh in on Gen Xers hi Jessica what's going on thanks for the call guys um hi hi Ben uh listen uh let's start with uh not just voting but living the vote everyone said as I've been on hold it's sounding like well I went and voted, well, then don't just leave it up to the few people in the government. We have to live our vote. You know, that's really simple there.

And if you want to talk economy, you know, I'm a Gen Xer. And back in my day, if you didn't face your money, if you didn't treat the dollar properly, especially as an employee, you could get a corrective action for not facing your drawer as a cashier.

Okay.

Now it's like all over the place. I mean, just down to the simplest spot, we're not respecting the country. It's as simple as that. And as far as Gen X goes, it's like I feel like that what Gen X has become is the comb over for the impending toupee of the boomers, but also the impending toupee of the government, of their college loans, you know. And then so that's why Gen Ys, which I believe is what Dieter called himself, the Gen Ys got to look out because it seems that every other generation it does that.

Now, X is a first and a last. They're like the last of the people that were hanging on to what were the good standards from what I would call Gen W or the uh the boomers okay and we're trying to hang on to those standards and it wasn't just two parents working we're the first generation of single parent as well all right we're the first ones to work that out and so it just it's just so sad because every generation has challenges and we all just need to get along and remember that well poopy and bleed well the problem jessica is that baby boomers had a lot of kids gen x not so many millennials none and eventually the people that are going to get really hosed on all this are will be the gen the gen zers because we got a lot of people uh that are going to be in nursing homes that we're all going to have to take care of jesse got to run appreciate the call uh 901-260-5926 our number that's 901-260-5926 Again, help families rebuild in North Carolina, East Tennessee. Go right now to ToddSterns.com. Click on the Emergency Relief banner and Linda Helping Hand. We'll be right back, America.

All right. Welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. I want to play some audio here. Here's Jim Clobin.

Jim Clobin, the longtime lawmaker from South Carolina, the Palmetto State, says not voting for Kamala Harris is Jim Crow 2.0. Cut seven. The problem is there are 95 years between number eight and number nine. And the policies of that 95 years that kept us out of government out of this economy. It's called Jim Crow.

If you look at Project 2025, it will be Jim Crow 2.0. What is he talking about?

So look, just want to remind everybody, and again, this is a good, it's always good to have a history lesson.

So grab the homeschool children around the radio here, moms and dads, and let's remind folks that it was the Democrat Party that enslaved black people in this country. It was the Democrat Party that kept them enslaved. It was the Republican Party that freed the slaves. It was the Republican Party that came up with the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the Republican Party during the 1950s and 60s that advanced the idea of civil rights.

It was the Democrat Party in the 60s that was responsible for the KKK and Jim Crow. It was the Democrats who literally filibustered in the Senate to stop blacks from getting the right to vote. It was the Republican Party who pushed through the civil rights agenda. And I know that gets lost in a lot of things, but to this day, the Democrat Party has yet to apologize for what they have done to the black community in the United States of America. As a matter of fact, here in Memphis, Tennessee, home to the largest Republican Party in the state, it was black people who started the Republican Party here in Memphis.

You wouldn't know that. And the reason why they started the Republican Party here, you had a lot of wealthy black business owners who said, we've got to start a party so we can make sure that black people in Memphis have the right to vote. Why aren't they teaching that in the local public schools? Instead of critical race theory, they ought to be teaching the predominantly and we're a majority minority city here in Memphis. They ought to be teaching the boys and girls that back in the 1920s and 30s and 40s and 50s, that Memphis was home to a number of very wealthy black citizens, black businessmen, black pharmacists, black athletes.

As a matter of fact, in the old Negro Leagues, Memphis, Tennessee, one of the only places where the stadium was actually owned and the team was owned by black people. that's Memphis Tennessee that's a great heritage one of the first millionaires in America right here in Memphis Tennessee why are we teaching kids this why and I'll tell you why they don't want the children to know that you can live the American dream in this country and as crazy and as awful and as oppressive as things were in this country back in the 20s and 30s people were still able to achieve their dreams and they worked hard and that's why and they don't want it because they want the young people of america to be dependent upon the federal government now when you go back to the 1920s and 30s and 40s and 50s you know what you had in places like memphis tennessee and Atlanta and Detroit and Chicago, you had strong black families. You had a mom and a dad, and they raised their families. You had strong churches in the communities. You had strong neighborhoods.

And what happened?

Well, the policies of the Democrats happened. And as a result of all of that, guess what? You had the breakdown of the black family in America. And the government was responsible for doing that because the government, led by Democrats, they want black people to be dependent upon the government for everything they need. It is un-American what's happened.

Un-American. And we get a chance to undo it. And I think that's the message that Donald Trump is bringing. And it's a populist message, but it's really been the message of the Republican Party all along. Because the Republican Party has been the party of the people.

We haven't acted like it a lot of times, but it really is. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

I want to play some audio here. This is from the great hunter, the great white hunter, Tim Waltz, who decided to go pheasant hunting. And I want you to hear some of this audio. Ben Dieter played it earlier on the morning show, And I got a good laugh at this. Cut number four.

Nice shot. Nice shot. Oh, you got that. That was a good shot. And.

We'll get another one. They are shaking like crazy, Scott. He's on to something. Rooster. No, don't shoot.

They came up behind you. That happens. A couple years ago, I got a double when we first started. Went right up my leg. It was hitting my leg as it went up.

No pin in. 10, 10. We are hunting. It's hunting, not shooting, right? You knew it, didn't you, man?

I said it's not on off your right shoulder. And I'm going to grab a Diet Mountain Dew if we got one. I'm going to pound one down. And it got up off my shoulder. It went, oh, poor little thing.

You said, you said, no. That's a baby. I was like, yeah, but can you shoot? Yeah, that's right. You better shoot if we get one up, you guys.

It was fun. You got to get out. It was fun. That's what I said. there's good days and there's great days doesn't it yes um wow a lot to a lot to unpack there and first of all what did he mean by pound one down that's i'm very curious about that uh we'll put put a pin in that one for just a moment so first of all if you've ever been pheasant hunting uh you can't really be making a lot of noise like that but first of all the the governor of Minnesota, who claims to be an accomplished hunter, could not load his own weapon.

And as far as we know, not a single pheasant was actually shot during this thing, right? I mean, the pheasants were having a good day. I mean, they're like, look at these yahoos over there. And again, the campaign did all of this because nobody goes out pheasant hunting with a TV crew. And they were trying to use this as a way for Tim Walz to connect with the men of America.

I'm just going to ask you, men of America, are you bonding with the manliness of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who was pounding down a Diet Mountain Dew? I'm a Baptist martini guy myself. I've been known to drink a few Dr. Peppers in my day. but i'm just curious anybody out there really pounding down uh diet mountain dudes as you're shooting pheasant i i don't i don't get it all right coming up tonight we have got a great show lined up on newsmax you're gonna want to tune in folks and by the way if you haven't already heard newsmax is now offering you the opportunity to become a and to purchase preferred shares You can become an owner of Newsmax TV, and it's something you need to do because let me tell you something.

Newsmax is officially the fastest growing cable television news network out there. It's unbelievable how many people are now flocking to Newsmax. And, of course, now with Newsmax on YouTube TV, the audience is only going to get bigger. You say, Todd, how can I do that? Simple.

Go to Newsmaxinvest.com. That's Newsmaxinvest.com, and you will be able to get all of that information. And, of course, be sure to check with your attorney and financial advisor and all of that kind of stuff. But go check it out, NewsmaxInvest.com. In the meantime, as we're going to break, just a reminder, folks, we are raising money for our friends in eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and Florida, and Georgia, and South Carolina.

And right now, the need is severe, and it's only going to get worse. And let me say this, over the next couple of days, they're actually forecasting snow in the areas that have been devastated. Many of these people still have no power. They have no communication. They've got no homes.

Many people are suffering. And so that's why we're doing this. The mainstream media, they've moved on. FEMA, they've moved on, which is why the churches, military veterans, other volunteers, radio programs like ours are standing in the gap. and we are raising much needed money.

You have been so generous. When we come back, we're going to be reading off some of the names of the people that have lent a helping hand. You say, Todd, how can I get involved? How can I make a donation? It's very simple.

Go to ToddSterns.com. Click on the banner at the top of the page. If you don't see that banner, click on our Kamala Harris story. That's our live show blog today, and you will see the direct link where you can make a donation today. We'll be right back.

And again, House Speaker Mike Johnson just a little while ago sharing some audio and he said, hey, look, I've been to North Carolina and the victims are not getting what they need from the government. And that's why we are stepping in. And right now, I just want to give a shout out here to Donald, who just made a huge donation, $500. Donald B., thank you so much.

This is Bill Maher weighing in on the Tim Walz story. Cut five. Tim Walz is headlining a voter engagement event tonight with black men. Who better to connect with young black men than Tim Walz? because apparently michael buble was unavailable it's true it's there it's cringy all right i want to go to the patriot mobile newsmaker line it is always an honor to hang out with our good friend is the founder and president of timothy plan and you know folks we we talk a lot on this program about making sure that you're investing in companies that are not supporting horrible things.

And Timothy Plan helps you do that. Timothyplan.com is the website. Art, hope you're doing well today, sir. Oh, I am.

Now that Milton has passed us by, we're doing fine down here. You know, Art, I'm glad to hear that. And I'm just curious, what do you think about your governor there, Ron DeSantis? The guy looked large and in charge during this hurricane. listen todd it has been said of him he has a black belt in hurricane preparedness uh he is a pro so every governor in america yes it's just fascinating i mean just you know all the pre-positioned assets you had the linemen uh you had all these first responders water rescue people and as soon as it was safe boom they were out there putting the lights back on and uh and grabbing people off the rooftops of the houses.

You know, Todd, compare that with what's going on still in North Carolina, where the federal government is blocking people that are coming trying to help these people in distress. I mean, it is, they're being exposed in the biggest way there. I mean, my goodness. You know, Art, it's really tragic, you know, when you look at that area, and, you know, if you've been in western North Carolina, those mountain folks are pretty self-sufficient. But, man, we're talking about mountains that have literally been, they're gone.

You know, with the landslides and the topography, nobody's prepared to deal with something like that.

Well, Todd, you know, this is still America. And Americans, when they see that, they respond. They want to go up. They want to help. They want to contribute.

but i've got friends in north carolina that says the federal government is blocking all of this is that right so you're you're talking to this and i'm talking to people too and i'm hearing the same thing you're hearing art thank you and i mean my gosh when we're going to get rid of these communists and start having common sense return to america anyway that's just a side note but boy i'll tell you uh people need to wake up and they are starting to todd Well, Art, I know that the Democrats out there, they're telling us, well, you know, the economy's getting better. We've got a report out today, 1,200 Walgreens are going to be shutting down. We're talking about pharmacies here, Art. You've got 7-Eleven closing, what, over 400 stores. What does that tell you?

Well, it tells me that the Democrats' lips are moving. And you know what that means. It means they're lying. they don't know the truth they don't want the truth all they want is total power and they are Marxists to the core I mean my gosh how could any major party support killing babies support maiming children through transsexual operations I mean they have sold out to the dark side and it's all about them keeping power right out of the march's playbook sorry i went off on that tangent but i'm getting a little fed up but so are the rest of the people people are waking up not and i'm pleased to say operations are starting to wake up and listeners out there you're responsible for that because the only thing they know how to do is count they count the money and the latest that i heard was Toyota has rejected all this DEI and ESD and all the rest of the woke nonsense because it is contrary to turning profits. It's contrary to operating efficiently.

It's contrary to everything a corporation needs to do for its shareholders. And they're waking up finally. And that encourages us. And, you know, thank you, shareholders, for pulling your money out of those companies, stopping shopping. It's making a difference.

Keep it up. And, Art, again, when you look at Timothy Plan, you know, we've got to make sure that we're not investing in these companies that are doing this to us, right? And that's why you guys are so important to the ministry. Yeah, well, we won't. And I mean, that's domestic, but we won't invest in any company based in China who is committed to try to overtake the world and wipe us out.

You know, if you have any values whatsoever, look in the mirror and say, why would I invest money in these companies trying to destroy us? But the truth is, people really don't realize it. their advisors don't realize it all they have to do is call us we will tell you what these companies are doing that's it art we we are short on time today but i want to give out the website timothyplan.com and also the phone number i want you to write this down 800-846-7526 we want you to start investing biblically let's reward companies that share our values and punish those that don't Again, 800-846-7526. Art, you can use that if you want to in the advertising. Thanks, John.
