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. You know, just a general observation here, but there sure were a lot of Jews at that Nazi rally yesterday in New York City. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starrs Radio Show.
Happy to have you with us. We love Jews. We love Gentiles. We love everybody here on the Todd Starrs Radio Show, and especially Puerto Ricans. You have a lovely island.
Wow. We need about six hours to talk about all the things that we're going to talk about, but they won't let me do it. And one of the reasons why it's my birthday. And they're like, Starnes, you've got to take it easy. It's your birthday.
We will talk more about that later. And thank you for all of those who have extended birthday greetings. And Dylan, I don't know if you're aware of this, But the lovely Cassie, our wonderful call screener, has prepared homemade cupcakes. Todd, I'm extremely aware of this. I've had three.
Vanilla. Two. I was wondering who was eating those. Vanilla on vanilla, which is not racist. I just like vanilla.
I'm not a big chocolate guy. I'm not racist. Again, don't judge me. You're just a vanilla guy. I'm a vanilla guy.
You know, I'm pretty fly for a vanilla guy. Anyway, thank you, Miss Cassie. They look very delicious. And then somebody just dropped by some treats from a place called Crumble. Is that the correct pronunciation?
It's misspelled. There's not an E there. It's Crumble. Yeah, I don't know why they do that. They're very good cookies.
Well, I'm very excited. Oh, they're cookies. All right. I didn't know that. That's very exciting.
You got to have one.
So my lovely makeup artist, Miss Kristen, was downstairs, and she said, somebody just dropped this off for you. It looked very tasty.
So thank you very much, whoever my mystery admirer is. Thank you very much for that. All right, can we talk about this rally? And first of all, I thought, ladies and gentlemen, it was the greatest Trump rally of all time. I thought that this was the closing moment for Donald J.
Trump and the Make America Great Again movement. this was the moment where trump was able to make his case to the american people and what i saw in that arena and by the way eric trump said there were what 200 000 people that wanted to get into the arena there were about 20 000 that stuck that stuck around you know they finally shut it off cbs news falsely reporting that madison square garden get this appeared to be full well unless you were blind, and I think even a blind person could figure out that there was standing room only in Madison Square Garden, over 20,000 people stuffed into that arena, 20,000 other people outside, 40-something degrees, a little rainy, but they stood there and they watched the rally on the jumbotrons outside Madison Square Garden. Do you see people doing that for Kamala Harris? You know what I see on the Kamala Harris side? I see a lot of very angry, upset, irritated people, mainly because thousands of them showed up thinking they were going to get a free Beyonce concert and they got diddly and squat Beyonce didn't sing she just talked and nobody wants to hear Beyonce talk come on what's wrong with you people by the way so my friend I told you about Kristen the makeup artist and she puts my face together for a Newsmax so I look presentable on national television and she told me that she had a friend or someone who decided to go to both rallies.
This individual wanted to see what it was like. Is there a difference between a Trump rally and a Kamala Harris rally? Is there a difference between heaven and the lake of fire? Yes, there was. As a matter of fact, her friend said that when she walked into the Trump rally, people were smiling, cheering, folks were in a great mood, having a good time.
And then she went to the Kamala Harris rally, she said they had literally had to shove all of the crowd to the front of the room to give the impression that there was a crowd there, but it was dark. It was dank. It was, the vibe was really, really bad.
So ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you that something is happening across this country right now, and it is something that is great and good, And I think we, the people, are starting to wake up.
Now, if we just had, again, every single Christian in America rise up and go and vote on Election Day, Trump wins in a landslide. And I do believe Trump will win in a landslide on Election Day. That's one of the reasons the campaign announced late last night they're going to be heading to New Mexico, because their internal polling now shows even New Mexico is in play. you say todd what about puerto rico well yeah that was interesting so look a lot of people are talking about this uh the comedian who cranked the joke about puerto rico and and i'm curious before i share my thoughts on this i'm curious to hear yours do you have a problem with what the the comedian said last night at the rally about puerto rico do we even do we have we've got the all right here's what here's what the comedian said there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now yeah i think it's called puerto rico yeah i was that funny did i miss the joke he he said a lot of other things about uh hispanics procreating that we cannot air we can't rebroadcast on the radio is a little bit too uh yeah fcc violations the guy's name is tony henchcliffe and and dylan i understand i've never heard of the guy but as he's he's sort of a popular guy he's not just some rando they pulled off of times square he's like a rising comedian right now yeah okay huge following is that and he's about 40 years old so that's the don jr age yeah so i'm assuming don jr is like daddy daddy you know we got to put this guy up on the stage probably i can see that all right well thank you for that so anyway there was the joke and it's causing a lot of controversy the the trump campaign is walking this back and they're saying the comedian's views do not reflect theirs. Senator Rick Scott is horrified, as is every Republican running for office in South Florida right now.
Let's go to Samantha in Bartlett, Tennessee, listening to us on our flagship station, KWAM. All right, Samantha, you heard the joke there. What's your take? Yes, I wanted to start out by saying happy birthday. I hope you have a good day.
Thank you. um let me just say this i i don't know anything about the comedian but this more i saw most of the rally last night this morning um i was talking to my neighbor who is an independent she has you know said i'm probably not going to vote i'm probably just not going to vote at all um but then you know the maybe a week ago she was like i think i might vote for trump because you know things are just so bad well this morning she was like i'm not voting for trump she said i'm staying home i'm not voting for anyone and i was like is it because of the comments she said yes she was like he should have never had that comedian on the at the rally um he talks you know i've heard him before he says horrible things he has said horrible things um on his i guess he's got a podcast or something maybe oh yeah he doesn't if you think he doesn't like puerto ricans he really doesn't like the chinese yeah she said he's talking the black thing right right she said he's very uh you know i don't the words are not coming to my head but someone that he shouldn't have had at the rally she was like and i guess he told a joke about uh people coming from mexico or something oh yeah don't repeat that one yeah yeah okay i don't even know it because she was like i'm not going to even repeat it if you want to look it up you can look it up and i was like okay i missed that one so um he was like for those reasons i just can't vote for him and what this is what worries me what if she's not the only one you know what i mean i'm sure there are going to be other people aside from the puerto rico joke um what if there's other people who are like you know on the fence they're just like i'm just going to stay home because that was just so tacky that's what worries me yeah look samantha these are fair questions you're you're raising and and look i will say this that the harris campaign is making that guy's joke the number one political issue now the question is is it going to make a difference i mean if you're voting for trump you're voting for trump the question is what about those independents and quite frankly we need as many votes as we can get out of puerto rico we need them everywhere so i'm just mike my question was what was the point of that why you know is this guy actually a really a true trump supporter was he trying to sabotage the the campaign by saying what he said and what's really interesting samantha is that the you know the trump crowd on social media the diehards they're literally putting out messages saying anybody who dares question this is really not a true trump supporter well I think that's a load of hooey. Samantha, I've covered a lot. I've spoken at two of these Trump rallies. And let me say this.
You can't put this on Trump because this happened hours before he took the stage. And I can tell you this, Samantha, nobody ever vets what those speakers are saying. They never asked to see my remarks. They never asked to vet. They never asked me to steer away from something.
So this is really upon the individual. And you have to take personal responsibility for that. And I'll say this, Samantha, my rule of thumb going into a Trump rally and speaking at a Trump rally, number one, it's an honor. Number two, it's not about you. Number three, don't say anything that's going to get the candidate in hot water.
Right. And that's the thing. Of course, me and my whole family, we've already voted for Trump and you know all pretty much all of my friends but we do need those few people who are on the fence and i that that i think you're right what if he was put in there to kind of sabotage things i looked at my husband last night and i was like we're in the home stretch i hope nothing is said here that can you know cause a big you know ruckus or whatever uh to get people not to like him and then it happened so yeah i just i know it's not his fault that's what you know but he is going to take the blame for it because it was his rally if you think what he said was profa you should have heard what sid rosenberg said i'd never heard so many f-bombs dropped in in remarks and and all i could think about was this and that you know these rallies are billed as family friendly and so you had a lot of kids in that crowd last night and and that bothered me a little bit um and again this is not on trump because they don't control but i will say this and shanklin paul shanklin just sent me a text he said hey that guy was filthy before um before what he said about puerto rico and they should have pulled his microphone then and they should have but quite frankly samantha a very quick glance at that guy's bio there's no way he should have been anywhere near a trump rally correct correct all right i agree we're just going to keep our fingers crossed that's it samantha thank you hey let's go to susan she's a susan is this true are you a puerto rican i am hispanic i have a lot of puerto rican friends all right so you are the official expert susan from cordova tennessee speak on behalf of all puerto ricans i say give me a break give me a break the man said what the puerto rican guy said what he said grow up my fellow hispanic puerto ricans grow up either you're gonna vote for trump or you're not so grow up you know it's a shame it's a shame that you oh i'm not gonna vote I'm not going to vote. Yeah, you stay home. See what happens.
Give me a break. And one more thing. A plug for Greg Gutfeld. He has people on his program. He lets them say what they want.
They do have a cuss word limit.
So you can't go and just, you know.
Well, that makes sense. You can't. And they don't. It's like a drink, like alcohol. You have a two-drink limit, so you get, you know, all right, if you're going on Gutfeld, you get two two-syllable curse words and what, three one-syllable curse words.
Oh, yeah, that's fair enough. Grow up, Puerto Ricans, my fellow Puerto Ricans. Vote. Get out there and vote, or we live with the consequences for Pete's sake. What was the lyrics of I'm thinking about West Side Story, and Puerto Rico didn't come out too favorable in some of the lyrics to the song.
Puerto Rico, you lovely islands of tropical diseases. I saw that, and I loved it, but grow up. We're adults. Grow up. All right.
We've heard it from Susan, our Puerto Rican expert. Grow up. I want to share this with all of you people that say, Susan, thank you for that call. They say decency is on the ballot. But may I share some lyrics with you from one Megan Thee Stallion who performed at Kamala Harris' presidential campaign rally?
May I do that? That waste, that ass, them T-words, that waste, that ass, them T-words. If it wasn't me, I would have seen myself. I would have bought me a drink, took me home, did me long, ate it with the blink-blank on, ugh, ugh, ugh. I could build a house with all the brick I got.
b word spend a lifetime trying to get this hot trying to get this hot real hot girl s word body crazy curvy wavy big t word little waist look oh geez i can't say that entire phrase on the air numb numb numb is that inappropriate oh i'm sorry thank you dylan says yes you can't say that on the air so all that to say if kamala harris and her team want to have a conversation about decency happy to have that conversation all right uh do you have a problem with the puerto rican joke 901-260-5926 that's 901-260-5926 i mean right now the only people you're allowed to make fun of are white southern guys pretty much um so i don't know we'll see we'll be right back 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.

I will vote for Donald Trump. Oh my God, I will vote. I will vote. I will vote for Donald Trump. The people go out to vote, no fear, no more.
I don't feel no more. All right. Welcome back to the Time Stars Radio Show. Are they from Puerto Rico? Do we know?
We're in such trouble today. Welcome, everybody. I will say this, that there are so many people from so many different backgrounds that are voting for Donald Trump. It's just, I don't know, it's sort of like we're having a huge unity party across the fruited plain. Let's go to Elizabeth in Georgia, listening to us on WDUN.
Hi, Elizabeth, what's on your mind? I have two things on my mind. First, about the Puerto Rican joke. I don't think he saw it at all. He just saw, I don't think it was meant to hurt Trump.
I think he just saw an opportunity to show his backside, and that's what he did. I don't think he sinks. But that's not really why I called. Here's what I wanted to ask your opinion on. I believe Trump's going to win.
But what concerns me the most is Congress. If we don't have Congress, we will have the same years of fighting between our president and Congress or Congress trying to stop our president that we had before. Do you know how Congress is the new election? People elected to Congress. Elizabeth, yes, I do.
And we're coming up on a break here. That's why I wanted to jump in here and answer your question for you. Yes.
So Speaker Mike Johnson was actually at the rally last night and was invited to speak. And Trump spoke to him multiple times during the event. Good, strong relationship there. I think we grow our numbers in the House. Will we retake the Senate?
I don't know. That's a big question mark because of Mitch McConnell. But we've got to have both to get the agenda through. We've got to. Elizabeth, thank you.

I don't feel like I'm 57.
I don't feel like I'm an older person. I sort of feel young. And I don't know what that's all about. Maybe it's just me. I'm curious to hear from you, though, if you've reached that certain age.
Because I still feel young. I feel energetic. Maybe that's because I think I'm surrounded by younger staff, and maybe they just keep me, you know, keep me. I don't know. I don't know.
But anyway, all that to say thank you very much.
Someone said, what are you doing for your birthday? I said, well, I'm hosting a three-hour radio show and then a one-hour Newsmax TV show. Then I'm going home to bed. What do you want? What?
Well, I'm going to eat one of those cupcakes. I'm going to tell you that much right now. um 901-260-5926 is our uh is our phone number that's 901-260-5926 i'm just gonna ask because i ask the the things that we shouldn't be asking but need to be asked by the way i just i just everything i'm doing on my social media every time i go to x they're like these little balloons that just pop up and say happy birthday so all right thank you but i've got work to do here elon come on sir so here's my question what's more offensive the puerto rican joke or kamala harris preparing her collard greens in the same bathtub where she washes her lady parts maybe i should say what's more gross i'm just i'm just asking uh let's go to valerie in north carolina wsic hi valerie what's going on today good morning well i'm listening to you and i'm fixing cube steak which is uh deer and great northern beans and a blueberry cobbler and mashed potatoes for supper how does that sound that sounds you had me at cube steak well my grand my grandson and my son-in-law they love to hunt and they start and they start with bow and arrow and usually get a couple of deer and they spread it out in my freezer as well as theirs.
Well, this morning, when I'm in North Carolina, because we have two homes in South and North, I like to listen to you because you tell us the truth that we don't hear otherwise. And I pray for your protection because the people that are vocal like you, the conservatives and our President Trump, are under the gun. And I feel like Trump is only alive today because of God's protection and the people that are Christians praying for him.
So I try to remember every day to pray daily for him, his family, his wife, and for you and others that speak up and out.
So this morning, just a few minutes ago, I was in there praying. And I said, Lord, we just can't let the last election be repeated this time. All these people are turning out, hallelujah, to vote. But if something happens to the ballots, they're not counted, they're destroyed, you know, whatever, like happened before, it won't matter.
So this is what I felt like the Lord led me to, because I pray Psalm 91 is the prayer protection. I tell people that. God has angels, and they're encamped. I ask every day, Lord, I say, thank you for your angels encamped around about me.
So I prayed this morning for God's angels to encamp around every boating place, if it's a schoolhouse, a fire department, no matter where it is in all 50 states, and stand at those machines and let nothing happen. And I think I would like my Christian brothers and sisters that are listening to do this, start praying for God's angels. And I'm a Pentecostal, so I believe in pleading the blood. and I'm pleading the blood over them, these places, and over you guys for protection.
Now, I'll get off my stump because I'm not a preacher. I was ready to take up an offering right here on the radio, Valerie. You could have fooled me. Let me say something to that. I think that you are onto something here, and I do sense a great evil.
Whenever Kamala Harris, Tim Waltz, they come onto the television, they're at their rallies, I do not sense the joy vibe. I sense an evil vibe. And I think we are dealing with spiritual warfare in this election cycle, Valerie. And I love your idea. Maybe we need as much as we need poll watchers, we need prayer warriors out there as well, praying for protection.
And we also have to pray that our fellow Christians get off their blessed assurance and get out and vote on election day. or if early voting is still underway in your area get out and cast your ballot early amen amen amen all right valerie god bless you for what you do and happy birthday well thank you valerie if i was over in statesville i'd be over with that blueberry cobbler okay well you're back in statesville i know you were here not too long ago i'll fix you one okay all right hey that's a deal All right. Thanks, Valerie. What a great lady. We have the best listeners in all of talk radio, and I will fight you.
I will fight them to the death over that.
So you guys are awesome. 901-260-5926. By the way, remember, we got to talk about our good friend, Mrs. Dr. First Lady, Jill Biden.
Say it with me. Si, si, si, padre. way yeah so so look they're out there and and the argument is and here's this is what they this is what they're doing with the puerto rican joke all right number one it wasn't even a funny joke i found it to be offensive and and that's just me i get it the guy's a comedian somebody should have vetted the comedian somebody should have pulled the comedian aside and said hey look don't do anything that's going to make headlines nobody did that so the guy goes out there and he does his routine.
So you can't really blame the comedian, but I'm still blaming the comedian because you should have the sense God gave a goose to know you don't go out there and you say something that's going to embarrass Donald J. Trump, sir. What's wrong with you? Are you a movie loco? But he said it, but he's a comedian.
So any, all that to say, they're making a mountain out of a molehill because the media has to portray this event as a Nazi rally. No, Dylan, I don't know if Hitler had a problem with the Puerto Ricans. He certainly didn't like the Jews or the Christians or the French, but we all have a problem with the French. What I'm saying is that it was just bad form. I don't believe this is going to impact the election.
I really don't. But the problem is it gave the media the soundbite they were looking for. And you just can't do that. But in the meantime, we're happy to point out the hypocrisy. Here's Jill Biden comparing Hispanic people to breakfast tacos.
Cut 21. But we can't get those things on our own. Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bogotas of the bronx as beautiful as the blossoms of miami and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in san antonio oh little raul you remind me of a breakfast taco they called bodegas ma bodegas not bodegas oh by the way here comedian george lopez at a tim waltz rally just on saturday over the weekend making fun of mexicans stealing stuff donald trump said he was gonna build a wall and george lopez said you better build it in one day because if you leave that material out there overnight. Say it with me. Si, se, padre.
You can't stop. Just stop. Let's go to the phone lines. Dee in Winston, Salem, North Carolina, WSJS, our great affiliate. Hi, Dee, how are you?
Hey, Mr. Todd. Valerie, those were some beautiful words that you spoke earlier. I really enjoyed that call. And, Todd, happy birthday.
I called last week after the Pittsburgh game when Trump was there and they didn't show him. You remember this? He had 70,000 people. Pittsburgh Steelers, yes.
Well, last night after the San Francisco 49ers football game, one of the players was giving an interview, and our great player Nick Bosa came running up with the MAGA hat on, and NBC was forced to show Donald Trump and MAGA, and they didn't like it. And I just wanted to just say what a fine young man Nick Bosa is, and he came in wearing the MAGA hat, supporting Trump, and forced NBC to show it. And I didn't know if you saw that or not yet. Not only did I see that, D, and by the way, what a great night of, what a great weekend of college football and also pro football. I don't know if you caught the Washington – was it the Washington-Chicago game?
Man, that was – that insane Hail Mary, that was beautiful. But also, to your pointy, there's a guy by the name of Reese Burkhart, who was the kicker for Texas Tech, is the kicker for Texas Tech, and scored a touchdown on a trick play. And when he got to the end zone, he pulled up his jersey to show he was wearing a Trump shirt. Oh, I love that. I didn't see that.
Oh, that is what he just made my day. Dee, what does that tell you? What does that tell you, sir? It tells us something here. It tells us that they support the wrong team.
They support Harrison Waltz. That's what it tells me. I'm going to tell you something here, Dee. what's happening is that MAGA ball cap and the MAGA shirts and the Trump flags for so many years now the media has castigated people and now people are rising up and they're saying you know what I don't care anymore I'm going to wear my MAGA hat I'm going to fly my Trump flag and if they want to say something they can come and say it they can say it to my face if they come and try to steal my Trump sign of the front yard guess what pal it's electrified with razors so go ahead and make my freaking day that's what it tells me d god bless you sir thank you for calling in all right let's go to uh vicki in north carolina hi vicki what's on your mind well happy birthday to begin with thank you uh i'm glad to see another fellow october baby getting his age on getting my age on I'll be 70 shortly. Get your age on, yeah.
I'll be 70 shortly. Is that right? You don't sound like a day over 39. Yeah, well, I try not to see, and so should you. But it's just a state of mind is all it is.
When my mother died, she was almost 89, and she didn't fill a date. She could outrun anybody at the memory care unit over there that she could. She just never gave in. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you was the people in Puerto Rico, I've known them my whole life, my entire life. I used to date a guy in high school even that was studying to be a doctor.
He had just started into college. The people in Puerto Rico, that country is being run by Democrats. And it has been for years. The people that live there, some of them I'm sure like it, but a whole lot of them don't like it. And even when I was a kid, they did not want to really be a part of the United States government.
They really, like I said, back when I was a teenager, I used to go down there all the time. My daddy flew with Eastern Airlines, and we'd go down all the time. They didn't want to be a part of the United States.
So I'm not sure if the guy was really saying anything ugly to the people there or not. I think he was talking about possibly the government and, yes, how they have let that country go down. A lot of the people that were torn up during and lost their homes in that hurricane, Lash has been two big ones. They now work for the FEMA and come into the country just to try to make money because they lost everything they had in the island when hurricanes hit. and they all, the ones that I have ever met, want to go back at some point.
So they just don't like the Democrats. I mean, that's just real.
Well, Vicki, let me jump in here because we're super late for a break here. I will say this, that at the end of the day, there's a whole lot of that going on with the Democrat side of the aisle as well.
So for them to complain about this and talking about decency, yeah, that's hypocrisy. And we do call that out here on the program. I will say this, and it's my personal view. If I'm invited to speak at an event before the president of the United States, you better believe I'm watching every single word I say. And I actually, I remember I wrote down my speech so I wouldn't go off the reservation, if you will, and say something that might get President Trump in trouble.
But that's just me. When you're invited to be a part of a Trump event, it's not about you. it's about Donald J. Trump. All right, got to take a break here.

Yeah, you mentioned that you think, I forget exactly how you put it, something about Trump has a spiritual covering around him a few minutes ago. And I don't know if it's kosher to mention another news network, but anyway, on a Christian news source that I subscribed to just this morning, I got an email and here's the headline. Witches report their spells against Trump aren't working. And then in quotes, he has a shield. And the story goes on to explain about all these groups of witches all over the country that have been trying to put hexes and spells against President Trump.
And they are reporting that they're running up against all kinds of resistance. Yes.
This is from the Christian Broadcasting Network, CBN News. And, Johnny, it's fascinating because there really are witches out there, and they say, according to the story, about 100 witches gathering by Zoom, and they're trying to attack Trump in the spirit realm, and they're doing it with tarot cards, orange candles, and a not-so-flattering photo of Trump. And it's not working. They're trying to cast all these spells, and it's not working, Johnny. It is not working.
The man has been covered in prayer. it is no accident that his head turned the exact right direction to where that bullet missed his brain by a matter of millimeters and just clipped his ear enough to draw some blood that was no accident the man is covered in prayer and he is covered in prayer as he goes into this election An army of angels surrounds our president, Johnny. I believe it. And when you see these kinds of stories, when you have all of these evil people out there, and folks, you better believe something. Demons are real.
There is great evil in this land. And it's not just here. It's all around the world. And the Bible teaches us all of this. I don't want to get into a sermon here.
But, Johnny, I appreciate you bringing this to our attention because there is spiritual warfare at work here, folks. All right. Gosh, hold tight. We've got so many calls to get to. We've got Kathy and Carolyn and William.
Hang tight. Don't go anywhere. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. We've got some great guests, some great audio. We're going to be talking about Joe Rogan coming up in just a few moments as well.
Hang tight, everybody. This is the birthday edition of the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I want one of those cupcakes, Miss Cassie. I don't really like working. I'm going to need a priority parking space.
I only work remotely. How are your safe spaces? Can I bring my dog to work? Will your company protect me against microaggressions? You're triggering me.
Is this interview almost over? You don't run a daycare. You run a business.
So why use high-priced recruitment agencies who charge you up to 40% of an employee's first-year salary so they're focused on getting you the costly talent, not the best fit, which means you get more of this. What's your policy on paying employees to attend protests? I demand eight weeks of vacation. I need at least 12 weeks of paid vacation. I'm going to need a lot of mental health days.
Do you have a game room? My pronouns are Z's and Z's. Isn't it time you hired grown-ups? Call RedBalloon.org and skip those high-priced recruitment agencies. Call 833-880-0600 for a free consultation.
That's 833-880-0600 for a free consultation. RedBalloon.org. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's us. That's right.
I love this America's conservative blowtorch. Hurricane ride. Time starts. Oh, yeah. But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen, in that place is particularly chilling.
Because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for a so-called pro-America rally, a rally where speakers voiced anti-Semitic rhetoric from a stage draped with Nazi banners. When a Jewish protester rushed the stage, the Associated Press reported, quote, instantly a dozen or more stormtroopers set upon him, knocking him down and beating him as he held his head in his arms. Most of his clothing was torn from his body. Later, he was booked for disorderly conduct.
Now, against that backdrop of history, Donald Trump, the man who has threatened to use the military against opponents he calls enemies from within, who has threatened to use the troops to quell what he says are lawless cities and to use those troops to carry out mass deportations of immigrants, is once again turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism. All right, that was MSDNC, and they immediately stomped their coverage of the Trump rally, and they spliced together images from the 1939 Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden with what was happening last night.
Now, here's the problem with this, ladies and gentlemen. The Democrat Party actually held their national conventions not once, not twice, but three times inside Madison Square Garden.
So the argument could be made here that it was Jimmy Carter and JFK and William Jefferson Clinton himself, I see, I see, who actually held Nazi rallies in Madison Square Garden. Welcome to the show, everybody. Happy to have you with us. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile News Baker line. Congressman Ralph Norman from South Carolina joins us.
Congressman, good to have you with us today.
Well, great to be with you, Todd. Thank you. You know, Congressman, I saw that. I thought that was a tremendous rally last night. I thought the president, the former first lady coming out, It was just a moving experience.
What say you? There's a growing enthusiasm for Donald Trump. The fact that Madison Square Garden, it only holds, what, 19,000 people. They had well over 200 that wanted in that he was broadcasting outside of the Madison Square Garden. And people now, I think, really Democrats and Republicans see the danger of electing somebody like Kamala Harris, who is really an embarrassment.
I mean, but it's been 90-some days that she's had a meaningful, you know, went and addressed questions from the media. She did the thing with Brett Barrow Fox, but she only gave it 20 minutes. she was 15 minutes late i mean it's it's an embarrassment but to answer your your question about the the president that the enthusiasm is there i see it in south carolina like i've never seen it before and people realize we this is this election is for the keeping our constitutional republic intact and that's what's exciting about it and i think it's going to happen and you know i've i've really been compelled to get out there and volunteer um i've been on the road quite a bit But now I am back in Memphis, my hometown. Of course, we're a deep blue part of Tennessee. But over the weekend, we must have had, I think, 30 or 40 people out there waving Trump signs on one of the major busy thoroughfares.
And then later Saturday afternoon, I was at one of the polling places and, Congressman, it was insane. Democrats outnumbered Democrats there two to one, I would say. A lot of enthusiasm. Yeah, and it's not that complicated. The one question that has got to be asked by everybody, are you better off now than you were under the four years of Donald Trump?
And no one, if you're being honest, can say that you're better off. You're far worse off at every level internationally with what's happening with Israel and Iran and the issues that we're having here locally. in America with the violence that's taking place, the immigration. As Mike Pompeo said, the enemy is behind the gates, and we've got to fight to maintain it. And people are volunteering, as you mentioned, particularly as it comes to the elections.
And we're going to have to maintain our integrity by not allowing illegals to vote. And the reason the 15 to 20 million are here is not to teach Bible study. It's to maintain power for the Democratic base. And that's what we're fighting. Congressman Ralph Norman joins us.
And, Congressman, I want to take a sharp turn and talk about an issue that I suspect is really important to a lot of our listeners. I know I am one of these people that get so disgusted this time of year. By the time I walk out of our building, it's already dark, and it's like 4, 30, 5 o'clock. And you have introduced earlier this year, you introduced legislation or last year, I believe, to observe year-round daylight saving time.
So first of all, what would your bill do? And second, where does it stand right now? There are 19 states that agree and want to be able to have daylight savings time year-round. Right now, the law is written, you can opt out of daylight savings time, but you can only opt in for standard savings, the standard time. And my bill will allow you for states to decide what they want to do.
And it's for health reasons. It's been proven that just what you said causes health problems with people. and along with my bill the GAO general accounting government accounting office will uh for two years monitored and see what if there are any uh health benefits which there are for so year-round daylight savings so permanent introduced it so hold on so i just want to make sure i understand so permanent daylight saving time would it would be sunny at say seven o'clock at night correct all right got it okay that's what i'm in favor of i'm sorry go ahead congress well i did in 2017 and it went to the energy and commerce never got a vote to it they never took a vote i just want to be able to vote on it like term limits we ought to be able to have it on the ballot let the people decide it's we the people on both these issues but you know we will be going back in time an hour coming up and you know spring forward fall back and now's the time to give people give the states the choice not the government and one size doesn't fit all now i remember when i was living in new york city working at fox and it would be four o'clock and the sun was already going down by 4 30 4 45 you know you got the light street lights are coming on it is and And for your farmers, for those in South Carolina, we have farmers who would favor this. I haven't heard of one who didn't, who wouldn't. School children, you know, it's just good all the way around to have the option.
And if South Carolina decided in any state of the 19th, decided they didn't want it, then that's their choice. But I think it makes sense, and I think the fact that we're doing it now, we want to vote on it on the upcoming term in Congress.
so hopefully we'll get that vote all right let's do it i'm i'm a fan i'm in favor uh congressman we're going to leave it there we wish you the very best out there um on the campaign trail as well and it's going to be a great tuesday i do believe for the country i agree 100 with you and thank appreciate all that you're doing todd congressman ralph norman everybody great american patriot over in south carolina and we have to be sure to send him back to to capitol hill as well all right our telephone number 901-260-5926. What do you think about the congressman's plan here to eliminate daylight savings time? In other words, it's going to be seven o'clock. It'll be sunny at seven year round. I love that.
I just, you know, according to the congressman and his report, it's like cardiac arrest, stroke. I mean, car accidents, really bad things happen when, you know, the lights go out at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Happy birthday, Todd Starnes. How did you guys do this? Dylan, how did I not know this was going on? I never share our secrets, Todd. Wow.
I am very surprised and getting a little misty, so this is fun.
so thank you guys wow by the way Howard yeah no it really is my birth somebody said is it really your birthday yes it's really my birthday may I have to tell you my birthday story real quick my mom was afraid I was going to be a Halloween baby and she didn't want that to happen and she weighed like a she was like she weighed about like Ben Dieter she was like just 90 pounds sopping wet and uh so she made my dad take her to shake any of you folks in Memphis remember Shakey's Pizza There was a Shakey's pizza on Elvis Presley Boulevard, and my mom said, take me to Shakey's.
So dad took her to Shakey's. She ate, devoured a large pepperoni pizza in one sitting by herself, and that was on October 27th. She went into labor October 28th, and here I am. And I love pepperoni pizza, by the way. I really do.
All right, real quick, let's go to Kathy in Salem, Oregon, listening to us on KYKN. Hi, Kathy. What's going on? Happy birthday, Todd. Thank you, Kathy.
Appreciate it.
So I woke up this morning to the news that there were two separate instances of ballot box fires, one in Portland and one in Vancouver. Yes.
Portland and Vancouver are merely separated by a river.
So anyway, they're like sister cities.
So anyway, anybody that wants this election is way too important, take your ballot inside. If you can get to your clerk's office, take it there. That's what I did. I took it into the clerk's office. but or i think there are libraries that have boxes inside don't leave your ballot out to the elements yeah kathy this is wise advice and we understand at least i think in portland there were a handful of ballots that were burned but in vancouver we're talking about hundreds and and kathy we've all got to be careful uh there are lots of shenanigans happening right now across the country and the good news is that people are seeing something and they're saying something i will tell you right now in pennsylvania uh very concerned about some of the stories coming out of there uh but again the good news is people are speaking out and you know these things are being investigated yeah well investigations you know how that can go but that's true but but i'm telling you can't be we're shining a bright light on this and you're right we've got to protect our our vote that's that's why i walked in said give me a paper ballot filled it out turned it in and i'm done that's the safe way to do it that is kathy you're absolutely right god bless you out there in oregon and who knows folks it could i mean we could see a massive victory for donald trump trump by the way going to new mexico because of the internal polling data there also um where is this.
Howard just sent a note from the North Georgia mountains, listening to us on WDN. Todd, I'm listening to your show and just letting you know, this is Trump territory. Howard, thank you very much for that. All right, let's go to Ben Dieter from Memphis. Ben, where are you right now?
Todd, how are you? I'm actually in Detroit. Like Detroit, Michigan. Detroit, Great Michigan, so not in Memphis. Not in Memphis.
You know, what's also interesting, Todd, I'm walking around the International Airport, and I was able to run into one of our Memphis politicians who invited me into your squanky Delta Club lounges thing.
So this is like heaven on your birthday. I'm celebrating for you.
So you're hanging out in the Delta Sky Club right now at Detroit Airport? I'm at the buffet, Todd. No one told me it was like a golden corral on steroids. Golden corral. It is true.
Now, be careful. The booze is free, too. Did they tell you that? I just found that out.
So hence the reason I'm calling into your show and telling you to have a happy birthday. Todd, are you having a happy birthday? I'm having a very happy birthday. Yes, I'm working. I'm doing a three-hour show.

That's 833-880-0600 for a free consultation. Redballoon.org. All right. Welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us today.
um let's go to doug in north carolina hi doug what's on your mind today hey todd just happy birthday wishes to you and hopefully you have many more doug i i don't feel like i don't feel like i'm old do you know do you understand that it's just weird people say you know oh do you you take your naps and i like to take a nap but i just don't feel like i'm 57 no you're still a young man i don't think you really start feeling old until you get to my age about 76 78 something like that then things kind of change a little bit but you're a young man you got a long ways i'm a whippersnapper yes you are love it all right what's going on what do you want to talk about doug well first of all i would like to concur wholeheartedly with congressman norman's proposal about keeping daylight savings time forever this jumping back and forth is ridiculous there's no reason for it and it's it's better that we have more daylight in the afternoon early evening in my opinion i i agree wholeheartedly with him yeah i'm with my yeah i'm with you on that one i i like i like the fact that the sun's going down around eight eight thirty nine o'clock yeah it's very depressing to get out of work go to work at eight or nine in the morning get out at five or six and it's it's going close to dark that's kind of depressing so a few more hours a couple more hours of daylight would be very uh appreciated i think all right Now, tell me about this caravan that you've heard about. Yes, sir. I'm sure they're not verified reports, but I had occasion to listen to WORD down there in Greenville, South Carolina. Good radio station. And they had two fellas called in different times about their properties are adjacent to 85, the Highway 85.
And they both observed this long 18 to 20 black SUV caravan, all of them hauling trailers.
Some of the trailers had some kind of an official-looking emblem on them. but they couldn't tell for sure what it was. But they had left the Atlanta area. This has been several days ago. Headed from North Carolina.
Where they were going or where they are now, who knows? But that would be, to me, a very unusual thing to see, especially around this time of year, the elections and all that. I just thought it was kind of strange. That's interesting. I'm wondering if they were able to describe the emblem on the sides of the trailers.
Yeah, they said they couldn't. It looked like an official emblem, but they couldn't tell for sure what it was because it was only on some of the trailers, but they didn't know what it was. I'm just going to take a stab at this, and again, I have no earthly idea, Doug. I will say this, that I know the Southern Baptist Convention, their disaster relief teams are based in Atlanta. And they have been doing a lot of work in North Carolina.
And I'm wondering if maybe that's what whoever it is saw. I mean, it could be something more nefarious, but it could just be something fairly innocent. Yeah, it's very possible. I just saw, as you do, that the liberal Marxist liberals, Democrats in this country, they never give up. They were going to do they're going to do everything they can to steal this election.
And all I can picture in my mind is all of these trailers loaded with mail in ballots and absentee ballots and all that. But it might be something like you just said, it could be innocent, could be hell. You know, it could be something like that. Could be. Yeah, could be.
All right, Doug, thank you for those kind words. And thanks for the Eagle Eye report there. And we thank you for listening to us as well. 901-260-5926. Lines are now open.
I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Congressman Dan Muser joins us. And Congressman, I understand, is this true? You were at the rally last night in Madison Square Garden. Hi, Todd.
Yes, I absolutely was. I attended most of the rallies. President Trump's probably 90% none of them in Pennsylvania, but the MSG was one I didn't want to miss. Neither did, oh, somewhere in the neighborhood, really, of 100,000 others. I mean, there were about 28,000, 29,000 inside, but the NYPD even reported there were as many as 70,000 outside.
Wow. It was, and, you know, I'm very familiar with that area, and, of course, the old Hotel Pennsylvania. I think they tore that sucker down, but that's where a lot of the crowd was. They were gathered watching on the big jumbotrons outside. I mean, that was really a remarkable and I would almost say historic night in New York City.
It was. It was. The city was electric. There were, you know, obviously just all kinds of walks of life there. I mean, young people, older people, kids, college students, all every ethnic city you could imagine.
And, you know, Trump's touching all the demographics. I mean, here in Pennsylvania, for instance, he's up by, he's up by hand with Latino Americans. He's up about 20 points better than Joe Biden was, if you can believe that. He's actually winning 49 to 38, where Joe Biden in 2020 had 60 percent. Congressman, what's moving the needle in Pennsylvania for Trump?
Well, I mean, number one, it's him. It's him. The enthusiasm for him, he inspires. He has a message of hope. He has a message of correcting things.
You know, one of the themes last night was Trump will fix it. And people believe he will because he did it before. And he's got the will. He's got the plan. He's got the experience.
He certainly has that sense of urgency.
so people trust that he's going to resolve the endless level of crises created by the Biden-Harris administration. And to take one step further, you know, when Biden came in, he didn't really have a record. You know, he was known as good old Joe, you know, Scranton Joe, that sort of thing.
Well, my goodness, Biden-Harris sure have a record now, and there's absolutely nothing good about it. Everything they've done has been a failure for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And then you have But Kamala stating how nothing comes to mind that she's going to make any type of changes. But I think something does come to mind, but she doesn't speak it because it won't help her win. And that is to make all these crises worse.
On top of our open borders, she's going to declare amnesty and citizenship and then right to vote. She's going to take on our domestic energy industry like we never saw before. In Pennsylvania, our Marcella Shell, our natural gas is so important. She's going to tax the living heck out of businesses. And they're going to spend.
Boy, oh boy, they're going to spend. She's already got a budget plan that adds about $1.8 trillion of deficit spending.
Meanwhile, we got Elon Musk saying how we're going to reduce by $2 trillion over the course of four years.
So, you know, huge contrasts. Biden-Harris buyer's remorse, great Trump enthusiasm. and just a real quick time, our registration levels are over 400,000 better than they were in 2020 for Republicans versus Democrats. And that's it. And Congressman, I want to get you to weigh in on this report.
The RNC is sending this out about a couple of hours ago now. Michael Watley, very concerned about what's happening with voting access in Pennsylvania. According to the RNC, they're getting numerous reports that voters, that computers are down, polling sites closing early, not accepting more voters, and there are some concerns. Are you hearing any accounts like this?
Well, we are. We're working together with the Secretary of State. The governor seems to be interested in fair and free and integrity in our election, so we shall see.
Now, if they didn't prepare in certain areas enough with the resources and with regard to early voting, you know what? Not just shame on them, shame on all of us. And that needs to be corrected fast. And that's why right now we've got all hands on deck. We've done a lot of good work.
President Trump's got great momentum. We're up in the polls. But everything's about protecting the right to vote and the vote right now.
So that's where everybody is. our almost 10,000 Trump force, 47 poll workers, and all. That's what we're focusing on.
So we're going to keep this thing. We're going to keep a lot of eyes on it, and we're going to keep it stable. We're dying, Brian. And what was it, Friday? You had the press conference with the Board of Elections in Lancaster County, and they were saying, what, 2,500 suspected fraudulent voter registration forms and other counties as well.
Do you have any information on that? Yeah, well, Lancaster's outside my district, but it's not too far outside. And even just speaking with Michael Watley yesterday, he was pleased that we caught it and shows that the system, that our eyes, that our, what we have in place to assure voter confidence and voter integrity worked in that instance. We just have to make sure that we caught one and we didn't miss 50 others.
So it was a good wake-up call, not that we needed it, to be on that much more alert and to be watching everything. And that was terrible. I mean, that was thousands, over 2,000 fraudulent, we believe fraudulent, ballots that were submitted to be counted. Do we know who did that? I hate to ask this.
Was it a Republican? Was it a Democrat operator? Do we know? Actually, we do not know for sure as of yet. But it appears to be definitely a Democrat part of their machine.
Wow. Yeah, I had seen those reports on social media. I figured you may as well go, you know, see. You would know if they'd officially made that announcement just yet.
Well, again, to your point, the issue is we've got an apparatus in place now to let people know when something like this happens. Precisely. And that was as big a part of this as the maximize ballot, as we get out the vote, as we vote early. Maximize ballots as early as possible, but protect the ballot. And between Laura Trump and Michael Watley, the whole RNC, as well as the PAGOP, we've been working hand in hand for many, many months now, nine months probably, just as when they came in to assure that we were going to be ready for this and to be trained and have people on hand on site to protect the ballot.
All right. Well, Congressman, good stuff. And we wish you the very best of luck on Election Day as well. It's going to be a lot of fun, I can tell you that. And it just feels like the Republicans have the big mo going into election day.
I'll give you the last word. We do, Todd. And, you know, and that's why it's just so very important that every vote is going to count. We have 9,000 polling stations in Pennsylvania. If we could increase that by, say, five, I mean, obviously that's 45,000 added votes.
And that really could be the difference. And there's a lot more than who on the ballot is very important, but what is on the ballot. Right. I mean, we're talking about border security. We know it's not going to be secure under Harris.
We're talking about if they won the House and the Senate, my God, they would they would federalize election. They would add B.C. as a state. They would add regulations and taxes like there was like we never saw before. It would truly be it would truly get big, huge lurch to the left.
And under President Trump, we'd have strength and prosperity, freedom from overzealous governments, and we're going to reduce spending.
So we'll be on the right track.
So everybody's got to vote out there, and we get what we vote for. Yes, you're absolutely right about that. All right, Congressman, we've got to leave it there. Always appreciate your good work. Thanks very much, Todd.
Thanks for the time. All right, there you go, folks, from the great Commonwealth.

It's someone's birthday. Hey, Todd Starnes, it's Jeff Katz, and your biggest fan anywhere and everywhere, Heidi Katz. We just wanted to wish you a very, very, very, very happy birthday. Happy birthday, my friend. Happy birthday, Todd Starnes.
Wow. Well, thank you very much, Jeff Katz. Let's go to the phone lines here. Say hello to St. Francis in Gainesville, Georgia.
What a great American patriot. Hi, St. Francis. hey todd happy birthday thank you you know you were with me on my birthday on may 13th in gainesville georgia wdun i remember that you wore a halo i did i'm saying francis anyway you were concerned about staying young you you're a puppy you know i was 90 years old so i'm going to give you some advice i'm writing it down saint francis okay number one never join the senior class in your sunday school that's number one do not do that uh-oh you hear i go ahead go ahead there's too many problems you hear about so stay with the college age group. I taught the college age group for years and it kept me young.
So you just get together with the college age group and you'll stay young.
So that's my advice to you on that.
Now, the other thing is, I think it was Valerie that called in about the angels protecting Mr. Trump. And I can guarantee that's happening. And I have information that saint michael the archangel is in charge of a detail that's 24 7 around that fella so i think god's going to take care of mr trump well you would know being a saint francis so that's good intel you know what there's truth to that because i noticed in our older sunday school class that i'm a member of the prayer request for ailments goes on about 15 20 minutes that's what i'm talking about i mean it goes on and on you just think you can't write fast enough and nobody can remember anything so it's tough saint francis i've got a skedaddle but man it is great hearing from you and you sound terrific and it's because you're hanging out with college kids so uh good for you saint francis thank you and god bless you and yes we do need to be praying for president trump All right, hang tight. Hour three coming.
We're getting to your calls. I promise you. We'll be right back, folks. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun toting, Bible clinging, deplorable America. That's us.
That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starr. Oh, yeah. Is it okay for me to talk now, Dylan?
I don't know what to expect. I'm still trying to figure out how you guys did all of this. There was great plotting afoot. And normally, I have a pretty good eye on what's going on in my own company. but uh dylan you took me by surprise and i have been pleasantly surprised all day i love it it's great it was hard to keep a secret from you i bet and by the way those cupcakes sweet mercy miss cassie i think she um wow i'm on a sugar high right now likewise yeah it's good stuff and thank you your mom sent me um cookies crumble crumble with without the e they're like the mini cookies so you know it's kind of like fancy without the e it's fancy yeah i guess so yeah well thank you all for the birthday wishes 57 years old and i feel like i'm 27 i'm sure i'll feel like i'm 87 by the end of the election night uh want to go to the patriot mobile newsmaker lines hello to my good friend we've known each we've known each other for gosh almost 20 years now robin poffman our great great friend and journalist robin hope you're doing well today it is 20 years and by the way welcome to my number oh that's right we're the same age yeah the odometer rolls up uh with a lucky number seven as we had a we had a lady call in she said todd you're getting your age on i like that that's cute i like that i like that and by the way the crumble there what a great cookie did they come in the pink box they came in the pink box yeah without very familiar with that yeah i'm excited it's uh i'll tell you it's going to be a lot of the only thing that would make today better is if the william sausage company truck drops by and you know puts a couple of cases on the front porch that's how we roll around here uh robin i hope you're resting because i know you're going to be a part of our live election night coverage it's going to be pretty wild um six hours of live programming six p to midnight and you know i was listening very rarely does cbs um this morning actually come out with something decent and they did a really nice story on why am radio still matters in america and i was i was really watching that and just you know reminded of why we're doing what we're going to be doing on election night Yeah, you know, because people want to know what's going on, you know, locally.
And, of course, the national impacts your pocketbook and the price you pay at the grocery store. And I often on social media talk about the $13 box of blueberries, if you can find the blueberries in the grocery store. And, you know, inflation is at almost 20 percent. And, you know, we were young at the time, Todd, but we have a point of reference on this election that, you know, the whole handoff between Jimmy Carter and standing in line waiting for gas, odd number, even number license plates and all this nonsense. I remember being in New Jersey with my parents and not understanding fully what was going on.
And then we had the hostages and then Ronald Reagan comes, you know, rolling through town. And, you know, we're a shining city on the hill and things get better. And the mainstream media made him out to be a big idiot. And, you know, when you're younger and you don't really understand the political landscape is one thing. But as you know, you and I are history buffs and we educated ourselves and we search for truth and the honest answers.
And it's kind of interesting to me that I believe that history is going to repeat itself. I think there is going to be a lot of cheating in the election. Sadly, I still think that there's a lot of holes in the system.
Some of the systems that we vote on are porous. These drop boxes, the mail in. I don't think any of it is 100%, but I'm really with the Trump motto of it needs to be too big to rig. And from what I saw last night, Todd, at Madison Square Garden, you've been in that building. I've been in that building.
Wow, did that look electric. Robin, we just had Congressman Dan Muser on from Pennsylvania. He's been to most of the Trump rallies, and he was there last night. He says that according to the NYPD, there are about 75,000 people outside MSG. And you know that area well.
The Hotel Pennsylvania right across the street, they tore that down. But that's Seventh Avenue. That's a major thoroughfare, and it was wall-to-wall people. It was. And I have some retired NYPD friends that were actually out there in the crowd, kind of in an undercover, kind of just looking around, monitoring things.
and they sent me some pictures under the radar. I could not believe it was packed in like 12, 15 deep like it is for folks in your listening area all over the country. When you think back to the pictures on New Year's Eve in Times Square where everyone's in a pen, it's very orderly, but people are really packed in deep. They were packed all the way out to the West Side Highway. People were watching this event outside on the TV screens.
It was absolutely electric and wild. And I thought that there was a lot of symbolism, Todd, that this is the place where the Trump organization, Donald Trump himself, his dad, if you know anything about Trump's background, always wanted him to stay and build in the borough of Queens. And it was Trump who said, nope, I want to take on Manhattan. And he did and changed the New York City skyline and landscape. And I thought it was just a great, there was some great symbolism there.
And that his closing argument is that we need to take back the city. And I'll tell you people I know that still live in Manhattan, Todd, where you and I used to live back in the day. They are fed up with illegals roaming around and a lot of crazy people running around. And there is a lot of chaos in New York City.
So am I saying that it's going to go red? I'm not, but I think that there are going to be more Trump votes there than there have ever been. Yeah, I'm with you on that, Robin. And I was there whenever I have to do Newsmax, you know, I'll fly up. And they're over on the east side, almost the upper east side.
Great area, but everything is locked down. And the homeless, you've got the Roosevelt Hotel over there, which is now a migrant or an illegal immigrant, you know, encampment. uh it is a dangerous city and i think the average the average new yorker wants to go back to the way it was under the days of rudy yeah it reminds me of that transition too you know we talk about carter and reagan in 79 in 1980 but we don and then we can look at you know that 91 to 92 transition when we had Ed Koch and David Dinkins and then we went to the Rudy Giuliani years, and for folks who take their kids up to New York City, Christmas time, we all know, you know, Rockefeller Center of the Tree, and ice skating, and looking at the stores, and Macy's, and all of this, and all of that, and you want to be able to go and see a Broadway show, and go to dinner with your family for a nice little, you know, couple day vacation in New York City and not have anything bad happen to you. Robin Poppin on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Robin, do you think the Puerto Rico joke is going to have any impact on the election at all?
No, you know what? I think that people are very well decided on who they are voting for. And I do think, Todd, that we all understand who Kamala Harris is. We all understand who Donald Trump is. And I thought that the interview with Joe Rogan, podcaster extraordinaire, I thought that that three hours was extraordinary.
I think it could have gone on longer. maybe he had maybe Trump I actually said to my husband maybe Trump had to go to the men's room and then he realized it was like how long have I been sitting here three hours you know it's a long time Kamala Harris could never do that sit down for three hours let alone maybe three to five minutes if that with Joe Rogan it would never happen because once he would engage her in a regular conversation I'm not sure she could get through it I think the undecided people say that there's this big undecided vote in this country. I don't see it. I think people know exactly who they're voting for, and there's a real silent group of voters who are not telling the pollsters, yes, I'm voting for Donald Trump for whatever reasons, and they don't have their lawn signs up either because they don't want to deal with any negativity from their neighbors. No, look, that is a great point.
And again, I got a message from our good buddy Wyatt Cox over at the Nevada Talk Network. And the Republicans are surging out there in Nevada. And we've got word this morning that Trump was going to New Mexico, which now apparently their internals are showing that even New Mexico may be in play, Robin. What do you think is going? What do you think it's driving this?
I think the number one thing is when you go to the grocery store to buy milk and bread and butter and spaghetti and sauce and fruit and a tub of ice cream and you walk out and your bill is $200. I think people are scared of that and they realize that, A, Trump is the only person to fix it, and B, those prices are going to get worse under a Kamala Harris presidency. I think that the nugget is that I think the border is in play. I think that people are seeing women being raped and murdered. The Lake and Riley situation tragedy in Georgia and other women across the country, young girls, middle-aged women.
It doesn't matter all the sex trafficking that's going on. But at the end of the day, it's always about the economy. It's always about the money that you have in your pocket and how far that dollar goes. And I'm telling you, I was at the grocery store the other day. I have never paid so much for groceries in my life.
It is outrageous and scary to think that if there's no drilling and no oil in this country and we go to a total EV electric system for trucks, that $13 box of blueberries that used to be $2.99, it's going to be $15, $20 if you could even get it. You and Dieter with the blueberries. You know, Ben Dieter, our morning show host, he's the same thing with the blueberries. He did a whole riff on it a couple of days ago. You and Dieter.
I have to listen to that, you know, because when you work morning drive like he does and I do, you have to have your blueberries to get you going. I guess it's a thing. I didn't even know that. apparently it is hey real quick before we let you go this is the headline from breitbart and you and i have been talking about this for ages now uh democrats warn brace for unrest if trump wins far left groups mobilize across usa nations nation faces greatest mental health crisis and i i think that we need to pay very close attention to this robin because a lot of these people if you've seen them out there i mean what was it over the weekend a grown woman of kamala a Harris reporter was screaming at a child in a baby stroller. These people are unhinged.
And frankly, I really don't care because the world around us, Todd, is unhinged. And you have to look at who are world leaders going to respect. Are they going to respect Trump or Harris? You decide. It's very obvious to my eye.
All right. robin poffman she will be a part of our live coverage on election night 6 p.m until midnight if you want your local radio station to carry our cover just give them a call and say hey let's um let's take todd stearns live at night robin get some rest you're gonna need it i know you too happy birthday my friend thank you robin poffman everybody a great great journalist all right uh real quick here before we go to a break let's take some of these calls terry in oklahoma wants to weigh in on daylight saving time hi terry what's going on hi there how are you terry i'm doing good and you're watching us on our rumble channel so hello terry happy birthday sir you're just a pup according to up to my standard thank you uh there is a i've got a kind of a funny thing and then a serious part of the sailing time. I've worked with alcoholics and addicts for 25 years. And a lot of them work during the day or at a factory or something like that. You know, they're in recovery.
But there's more of a relapse time because when they get off, there is no sunshine. Sunshine is very important to them. for their recovery, the light, not to go home and get, you know, isolated. And so by the time they get off and drive to wherever, they're in the dark. And it's very depressing to them.
We need to leave it alone. Just let us have some sunshine after we get off work. And I think that would help a lot of people, just their moods, their depression, and that kind of thing. A wise old Indian said only a white man would cut the end off of a blanket and sew it on the other end and think it was longer. Terry, that's some good Oklahoma wisdom there.
yeah and i'm watching the chemtrail so i guess we're gonna have a lot of storms here the next day or two uh well if there's a hurricane in oklahoma we know where how that happened right yeah and you know what we know how to take care of ourselves uh that's right yeah gone terry god bless you thanks for watching us on rumble and uh we have a lot folks i am telling you we have so much fun we do the youtube thing and we have a much larger audience on youtube but they always ban us for the silliest stuff i am telling you we have about half the audience we're growing on rumble but we actually have more viewership on rumble than we do on youtube and it's because they don't censor so i'd love for you to head over and join us you can watch the show you can join us on the live chat so we do a live chat blog it's a lot of fun just go to rumble.com slash Todd Starnes, and it should take you over to the page there. All right, hang tight. We're going to go right back to your calls, 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starnes Show. It's someone's birthday.
Happy, happy birthday, Todd. I hope your day is filled with sweet tea and biscuits and gravy. Here's to another great year of radio. Happy birthday, Todd Starnes. it's someone's birthday hey todd it's me mary walter i just wanted to wish a fellow scorpio a very happy birthday i'll pour out a glass of bourbon in your honor tonight happy birthday you handsome hunker man happy birthday todd stars hubba hubba hubba thank you mary walter uh wow there you go let's go to the phone lines enough said there uh thomas in missouri hi thomas now i understand your wife is from puerto rico is that right that's correct and she was not offended whatsoever and she wanted me to thank you for so vociferously always defense defending president trump we've come to the conclusion that if trump beheaded 100 live puppies on stage you would defend that right well i'm i actually like puppies uh thomas so no i would probably be a little bothered by that no you defend trump no matter what if he killed 500 live kittens you would call him brilliant hold on let me think about that now i don't like cats as much as i like puppies so i i'll get back to you on that however uh thomas i don't know what it is with my instagram algorithm them now but i'm getting the little kitten and puppy uh videos so you know they tug at the heart string so i i don't know thomas here's the here's the problem uh with with people like yourself um is that you call in here and you're not honest with our people you know if you were just honest and said you know i disagree with todd about something uh then we would have you on the air we i love debating people who disagree with me but you didn't do that thomas no you lied and i We don't cotton liars here.
So goodbye, Thomas from Missouri. Appreciate you. Geez, hello. No, look, here's the deal, folks. The Puerto Rican comment came about five hours before Trump stepped foot on that stage.
Long story short, I don't think it has any impact whatsoever in the election at all. All right, got to take a break. We've got Patty and Randy, Chris, Bob. Hang tight, everybody. We're going to get to your calls, I promise.
901-260-5926 is our number that's 901-260-5926 this is the todd stern show and welcome back everybody great to have you with us today hour three of the todd stern's radio show Don't forget tonight, 5 o'clock, watch me on TV, the Todd Stern Show on Newsmax. And we've got a great lineup today. We're going to be doing a deep dive into election coverage. But right now, you guys know that I love music of all kinds of varieties, and especially Christian music. And there's a brand-new album out.
It's called Praise and Worship, More Than a Hollow Hallelujah. and it is an incredible incredible project from our friends at the isaacs the isaacs.com is the website on our patriot mobile newsmaker line right now is sonia isaacs great to have you with us today well good afternoon it's great to be with you how are you you know i'm doing well and uh congratulations i understand that you guys actually have filmed uh some of this music at Belmont University in Nashville. Is that right? That's correct. We did a video of the whole project there and an empty auditorium there at the Fisher Center.
And it was absolutely gorgeous. The backdrop, you can see it on all of our social medias or on TV, it's been airing everywhere. But yeah, we wanted to have some video to go along with the new audio.
So it's a gorgeous theater. We're so grateful we had the chance to do that. Let's talk about the new album because there are so many praise and worship projects out there. What makes this one unique?
Well, we've never done a project that is in this vein. We've always loved praise and worship. We sing it at our churches, you know, and we get a lot of requests to do things like this. But we have learned through a lot of troubles and circumstances in life that praise is the way to get out of pain. You know, you praise your way out of pain and through pain.
And so we had some time off earlier this year, and we said, let's go in the studio and make a record. We just mostly did cover songs, all of the famous songs that Phrase and Worship people do. We picked our favorites, and then we also wrote one original new song called More Than a Hollow Hallelujah. And I just, you know, we just feel like it's really an important time for us to be sincere about our worship and stop giving God lip service. You know, he deserves more than that, and we need more than that.
So it's a win-win for everybody when we go deeper with God. I just love this. And, again, folks, you can get the project really wherever you buy your music, the website, theisaacs.com.
So I did not realize about the Grand Ole Opry.
So you guys are going to be performing there. on the 30th. Is that right? Yes, sir. We perform there a couple times a month, typically, sometimes more, sometimes only once a month, but that's our goal, to try to be there a few times a month.
In addition to our touring schedule, we're touring all over the country right now, and we actually have a tour called A Tribute to the Grand Ole Opry Tour that we're presenting in PAC centers all over the country and different venues where we bring the Opry to the people. We have five singers in our band and everybody's voice sounds different.
So everybody picked a song that they felt like, you know, their voice sounded good.
So we're doing a little bit of Connie Smith. We're doing Loretta Lynn. We're doing the Oak Ridge Boys. We're doing, you know, a whole different variety of songs that have been made famous or helped make famous on the Grand Ole Opry stage. They made us members in 2021, three years ago.
Can't believe it's been three years, but they invited us to be members of the Opry. And that was just one of the most incredible honors of our entire life and career. And next year, the Opry is celebrating their 100th birthday.
So it's an amazing time for the Opry. You know, this is a huge deal, and I didn't realize that they were bringing in gospel artists to join the Opry ranks. You guys had to have been one of the first. I believe so. You know, down through history and their 100 years of broadcasting, they have, you know, a variety of different artists, but mainly country, of course, and bluegrass and comedians.
And recently, they've really started inducting more songwriters, legendary songwriters like Don Schlitz. And then, of course, one of the most recent inductees was Stephen Curtis Chapman. And I don't know, he might be the first Christian contemporary artist that they've inducted.
So I love it because, you know, the Ryman was the mother's church of country music. That's right. The Opry starts at the Ryman, of course, and so they always have respected Christian music and gospel music. And I do know that since the Whites, I believe, were inducted maybe in the 80s, we're the first family group that has been inducted.
So it was just an honor and quite a shock when Ricky Skaggs walked on stage during our performance and broke the surprise to us and the invitation. It really is an honor. We just look around us and thank the company that we're in. And how did we get here, Lord? You know, it had to have been by the hand of God.
And he has a purpose for us being there.
So we're just trying to walk in it. And if I'm not mistaken, I thought it was Elvis Presley who actually got his Grammy for a gospel album.
So, again, it's like this synergy, I think, between Christians. I think if you're in the South and if you're a country music star, chances are you probably learned how to sing in a church choir somewhere. Yes, absolutely. Not too many godless heathens in that genre. It's so true.
More or less. Although some of them act like them, but, you know, they have the roots.
So that's the thing, though. You see, you write about that. You write about the godless heathenism, and then you get saved, and then you can talk about the redemption part of it.
So it's kind of like the best of both worlds. That's true. But I love it because the Opry has really shined a light on different genres of music. And, you know, they let us be who we are. And over the last five years or so, especially, the Isaacs have made a couple of records that were considered more secular.
They weren't really Christian albums like the American Face album, which did really well for us. It came out a few years ago. And so, you know, it's not uncommon for us to do songs that are country or secular in nature. and of course we're very careful about the the subject lines and the content that we sing we don't compromise who we are what we believe in to do it but you know there's to me you know a plumber doesn't just plumb in churches and I don't think a Christian has to only sing uh Christian songs because you know we sing songs about life and they're real emotions and experiences and really all a song is is a story put to music so we tell our stories why can't we sing them I think that's a great way to look at it let me ask you a question um and by the way you mentioned steven curtis chapman we're going to have him on later on this week ladies and gentlemen um he is uh helping he's part of a big relief effort they're doing a big concert uh to help all of our friends over in western north carolina but what is it like i mean isn't that i mean it's again that's that giving spirit you know and um and sonia i know that you you guys have performed with some of the best out there dolly parton reba do you guys ever get to interact with them um during the the concerts or you know when you're out there on tour oh absolutely uh we had to open for reba last year we did a whole tour season with her spring tour and um just getting to hang out with reba backstage having lunch hanging out after the shows and having you know chicken strips and tater tots her favorite uh in the dressing room and um you know singing on reba's records and Dolly's, we do get to interact with them a lot. And, you know, I love their hearts.
And, you know, just tying in to what you're saying about Stephen coming in, the generosity of people. You know, they say when you become a celebrity, it only enhances who you are. If you're a mean person, then it enhances that personality trait. But if you're a giving and a good person, it enhances that one. And so you can look at people like Dolly and Reba and see how they've used what they've been given to benefit others.
Dolly, I mean, Lord, how much money has she given to East Tennessee just in this relief effort to help them? And so many victims. And we have a foundation, by the way. It's called the Isaacs Foundation. And we started our foundation to help Holocaust survivors and orphans in Israel.
That was our calling. But we've also partnered with the Bridge Ministry in Nashville and different ones. And we have also been helping with the relief efforts through the Isaacs Foundation.
So I'm sure you're doing your work as well. But people are more than welcome to check that out. the Isaacsfoundation.org if they want to help us help them because we really want to help others. We're just funneling it through. We're not keeping any of it.
We're just funneling it through, and that's what we're supposed to do to help one another.
Well, I just think this is a wonderful thing that you guys are doing, and Sonia, congratulations on the new project, Praise and Worship, more than a hollow hallelujah. We have a link over on our live show blog, folks, but of course you can go to the isaacs.com for more information.
Sonia, thanks so much for coming on the show today.
Well, thank you so much for having me and for promoting this new album. We were excited yesterday at reach number two in all Christian charts, and I haven't checked on it today, but that's pretty amazing, and we're very proud of that. And I hope that the artists whose songs we borrowed on this project are happy with our rearrangements and our versions of them. I love it. We're getting a lot of wonderful feedback.
So thank you for having us on. God bless you, and God bless America. Amen. And if you guys are traveling through Memphis, drop by and the ribs are on me. Oh, you've got a date.
Absolutely. All right. There we go. All right. Sonia Isaacs, good people there, folks, and incredible musicians as well.
You've got to check out their new project. It's called the Isaacs Praise and Worship, More Than a Hollow Hallelujah. All right. We've got to take a quick break. When we come back, going right to your calls, 901-260-5926.
This is the Todd Stern Show. It's someone's birthday. Hello, it's Jeff Stein in Iowa. One of the radio programs I do contains stories I tell of important things that have happened on this date in history.
So with that in mind, it was on this date, October 28, 19-something-something, that Mama and Papa Starnes gave birth to a son. They named him Todd. And soon, from the very first words he ever spoke, everyone knew this boy was special. Hee-hee-hee. Geez-a-loo.
As he got older, Todd Starnes became a wordsmith, the person who could come up with just the right phrase to cover any situation. You just want to smile and tell these morons to blow it out their tailpipe. It's no wonder, then, that Todd Starnes is a national best-selling author, popular radio and television host, and friend to presidents. All right, one president, but that's still better than most of us.
So on this, the joyous something-somethingth anniversary of your birth, we here wish you nothing but sweet tea and sweet mercy. Happy birthday, Todd. Happy birthday, Todd Starnes. Wow, I get a little misty there, Jeff Stein. Jeez-a-loo.
Thank you. Guys, thank you. Again, I am so impressed here, Dylan. And I don't know how you guys pulled this off. You saved the best for last right there.
It was pretty spectacular. I will say, talk about bad timing, though. You know, the lovely Miss Kansi, our call screener, made these delicious cupcakes. And they're from scratch, too. They are, yeah.
And the icing was abundant. And so I went downstairs and I said, I'm not going to eat the cupcake yet, but I am going to eat the icing. Right?
so so i come back up and i have an emergency message from my doctor saying whatever you do don't eat sugar your sugar levels high today oh no i'm like uh-oh that's not good just the icing it's just the icing though hey look we have got look i promise you we're going to get to joe rogan we're going to get to rogan tomorrow but i want to play this audio from senator jd vance he was on CNN with fake Tapper, and it was brilliant the way he took down the CNN host. This is how you do it, ladies and gentlemen, cut number four. I agree with that, but he's talking about what you do, based on the way you're asking. No, based on the fact that he's accused people that didn't break the law of breaking the law when it comes to the election. And if you want to revisit that, I'm happy to.
But Liz Cheney, he said, should be put before a war tribunal. None of that sounds fascist to you at all? No, of course it doesn't. Of course it doesn't. For a military tribunal?
First of all, I don't buy into the premise of what you're saying, Jake. These are things he said. These are things he said. On things that I know that he said, you're imputing things. You're taking words out of context.
You're taking two separate conversations and pretending that they were made at the exact same time.
So I'm rejecting the premise of your question. I frankly don't believe what you're saying about Donald Trump's words. If you'd like to put up a clip and actually put him in context, I think the American people would realize that Donald Trump is a hell of a lot more reasonable than the people like Liz Cheney who would like to lie us into war.
Now, Dick, we also have to remember, I mean, step back a little bit.
Well, ask yourself a basic question about network integrity. You guys talked about the Russia hoax nonstop. The FBI was investigating it. The FBI was investigating it, so we covered them. And so you took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on your network as if they were the gospel truth.
You did it again and again. a viewer of your network would have believed that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin conspired in 2016. No. That was totally and preposterously false. No.
No. That's not. What you just said is false. We covered an FBI investigation. No, you didn't.
I don't know why you want to talk about the FBI investigation. You covered it in a way that gave credence to anonymous sources, accusations. You did it yourself. Your network did it, Jake. But again, can we talk about the issues that Americans care most about?
I'm talking about things that Donald Trump has said. Yes.
If you have an issue with whether or not he's talking about the economy enough, that's between you and your running mate. I'm talking about things he has said this week. Wow. What a whiner, this one. We need to send him one of Ms.
Casey's cupcakes. She's a little.
Well, he's a snowflake, but a snowflake could use a cupcake.
So, look, here's the deal. CNN, they're not used to this. They're not used to this level of pushback. And by the way, J.D. Vance never raised his voice, never said anything inappropriate.
He just presented Jake Tapper with the facts and all you know what broke loose. This is how you do it. By the way, do you recall, ladies and gentlemen, I know this is a rhetorical question, but I'll ask it anyway. do you recall any time during this election cycle where Jake Tapper, angry fake Tapper, went after Kamala Harris or Tampon Tim? Anybody remember that?
Because it never happened. That's why. They can't handle it. And the problem here for CNN and MSDNC is that nobody watches them anymore nobody they are so irrelevant when you look at the numbers of people that are listening to podcasts they're listening to talk radio this they are now in a position where cnn completely irrelevant and they have nobody to blame but themselves none whatsoever oh by the i'll give you another example tom holman the former head of ice was on with uh cecilia vega Was this ABC? It was not.
They're all the same. Anyway, she thought she had him. And the look on her face, I'll describe it after you hear how all this went down. Cut seven, please. We have seen one estimate that says it would cost $88 billion to deport a million people a year.
I don't know if that's accurate or not. Is that what American taxpayers should expect? What price do you put on national security? Is that worth it? Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?
Of course there is. Families can be deported together.
So let me explain the question she was really asking. Are you just saying that you're going to break up families and you're going to rip babies from their mother's arms and ship them back across the border? Is that what you're going to say? You big meanie. You mean, mean man, you.
Is that what you're saying? And Tom Oman just looks at her and says, look, lady, here's the deal. We're not going to separate any families. We're going to send the kids across the border, too. Oh, God.
I am telling you, folks, we have been in the wilderness for four long years. And what's about to happen in this country is going to be a glorious thing. You mark my words here on this. All right. Wow, it's been a great day.
Thank you for the incredible birthday greetings, my awesome team here. You guys are pretty incredible. Wow, what a great day. All right, we'll see you tonight on Newsmax. You be good, America.
