Ivy League Offers Students Milk & Cookies to Cope with Trump Election

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. That's right. I love this American ride. And it is I, ladies and gentlemen, Todd Stearns, your voice of truth and hope from border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. Welcome to the Friday edition of the Todd Sterns radio show.

And ladies and gentlemen, I would urge you to gird your loins. For three hours of broadcast excellence, we have a lot to get through today. And I will tell you, the enthusiasm is beginning to grow. And I believe a lot of conservatives are now starting to understand the significance of Donald J. Trump's landslide election.

And a lot of liberals, on the other hand, are just now coming to terms with it. And their anger is slowly building. And we're going to get into some of that and the ramifications of all of that. But I want to point out something that may not be necessarily addressed in the mainstream media and the drive-bys. There is a movement afoot.

It's called the 4B movement. Have you guys heard about this? The 4B movement? If you're on the social media platforms, it's all the rage, and it's trending especially on TikTok.

So President Trump May very well go down in history as not only the most pro-life president in America, but also the most pro-life. Pro-traditional family president in American history because Donald J. Trump. If all of this reporting is to be believed about the 4B movement, Donald J. Trump may have single-handedly, with just his election, stopped liberals from procreating.

This is a brilliant move and strategy by the Conservatives.

So let me explain to you what the 4B movement is. I did a little bit of research on this. Using Wikipedia and Reddit. And man, there's some freaky stuff going down on Reddit. I just want to get that out there.

So the 4B movement is a radical, radical feminist movement, and it apparently started in South Korea. Man, there's some freaky stuff going on in that country. Really friend. And I'm not talking about the boy bands. There's just some weird stuff going down.

So anyway, this is a radical feminist movement, and they have four dos. There's if you ascribe to this movement, if you join the movement, No sex with men. No giving birth. outside of marriage. No dating men.

and no marriage with men. And so now the entire liberal movement, many of them Subaru drivers, many of them the magenta-haired childless cat lady crowd, many of them have now pledged their allegiance to the 4B movement to protest Donald Trump's victory that was delivered in no small part. To the men of America rising up and once again deciding that we are going to be the heads of our households, that men are going to be men, that there's nothing wrong with being a man in America, that there is nothing toxic about our masculinity. Because if you believe the media for the past, oh, Jesus looked what, two decades now? They have convinced the American people that masculinity was some sort of a disease that needed to be cured.

And that's why you've had generations of young boys that were just Heavily medicated. Instead of letting boys go out in the backyard and play cowboys and Indians and do rough and tumble stuff and get into the occasional fist fight or schoolyard rumble, They're all of a sudden medicating all of these boys. And to this day, we really have no idea exactly how that's all going to play out, what these medicines have done to the young men of America.

So now you've got President Trump coming along, and we started to see this movement come to the forefront. And I want to go back to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, when you had the Jew haters that were out there, the Muslims and their friends, and they were trying to tear down the giant American flag on the campus quad. And you had all of these fraternity boys rushing out. And they created a perimeter around the flag. And they stood there and they they refused to let the flag be desecrated.

They were being pelted with rocks and bottles and water. It was a horrible scene. But those young men stood their ground. Yeah. And at that moment.

I knew something was up, that there's something going on in this country where Generation Z, they have been through all of the radicalized indoctrination. They've been told that you have to accept boys in girls' locker rooms and you have to let the boys play on the girls' sports teams. They've been told that especially white young men are the problem with America. And I think there came a point where, just as a generation, these guys said, you know what? We're done here.

We're done, and we're not going to stand up for this anymore.

So now you have all these gals who have said, All right, we're going to teach you a lesson. You want to go out there and you want to turn us into handmaids? We're going to show you.

So now, on social media, you've got all these girls and they're starting to shave their heads, and they're starting to get tattoos, and they're piercing things that ought not to be pierced on their bodies. And they're basically, this is terrible, they're basically turning themselves into human freak shows. As if that's going to, I don't know, make us feel bad? I mean, they're out there saying, all right, we're going to show you, men of America, no more sex before marriage. Oh, okay.

I'm good with that.

Sounds good to me. We're not going to be having babies out of wedlock.

Okay, well, there goes the abortion rate. It just plummeted. Because by the way, the lefty gals are the ones that are going out to plan parenthood. And then they're talking about, well, we're not going to date men. You know, I think the guys of America are pretty good with that.

They would rather not date a girl that has more hair under her armpits than they have on their head. I may be speaking out of school here, but I think that's the case.

So, what Donald Trump has effectively done is he has just announced through this 4B movement that the leftist women of America will no longer be procreating. That means all of you good Christian, Catholic, Conservative kids out there who actually go about it the right way, you're going to be getting married, you're going to be popping out the babies, and there's already a big movement in the Catholic Church to start having, I don't know, five, six, seven, eight, nine kids again. No, not the Ducker levels. That's a little weird. I'm just saying, I mean, you know, back in the day, it wasn't unusual if you saw a family walk, let's just say that you were going down to, I don't know, Bonanza or the Sizzler for Sunday church, and you saw a family of, I don't know, mom, dad, five kids, you would either think, oh, they go to Catholic church, or, oh, that's a Mormon family.

I It's true. Us Protestants, we got the two kids, and that's it. Wham, bam, thank you, man. But all I'm saying is that this is a good thing. And Charlie Kirk actually said this is good news because the conservatives are going to start breeding children.

And by the way, conservatives, that's a big deal. You need to start having babies.

So, anyway, this is. This is one of the 4B gals. And she said, I'm gonna show you, men, cut fifty. There is not a single ounce of affection that a man will get out of me after this election. I'm not dating men, I'm not sleeping with men, I'm not talking to men.

Y'all lost that privilege.

Well, okay. Are we supposed to feel bad? Are we supposed to? What are we supposed to feel here?

So here's another one. And this gal is really upset. And she says she's going to make herself look ugly for all of you men because that's going to show you cut 16. All right. 4 V movement starting.

You know what we're gonna do? We're not gonna dye our hair any more. We're not gonna do makeup, we're not gonna use filters, we're not gonna go get the skin stuff, we're not gonna dress up and look nice. Why?

So that they can come and act like they own us because we look like this? Absolutely not. No, y'all. We the 4B movement means like we gonna be cozy, comfy in our own skin. And everyone over here is like, yeah, get strapped, get ready, get prepared.

But you know what? It's fine. Let's go. Bring it on. You wanna fight?

I'm ready to fight. Like duelings, let's do this, okay? But at the same time, like, I'm sorry, you do not have control over my reproductive rights. You do not have control over my body. You do not have control over what I do with my body.

'Cause when you try something Just watch what happened. This is being used without a filter. I usually do a filter, but you know what? I'm done using filters.

Okay, knock yourself out, ma'am.

So she says that, you know what, I'm not going to buy any new clothes. All right, that's good. You know, being frugal is good. You probably have plenty of clothes in your clothes. I'm not going to wear makeup.

Why do you need to wear makeup? A lot of ladies look beautiful, just natural, the way God created them. Beautiful. I'm not going to use filters. Why would you want to use a filter?

Just look the way you look, be happy with who you are. This is a brilliant strategy, and I'm not even sure if Trump knew maybe this was just sort of a side effect of Trump being elected here, but he has really discombobulated these leftist gals out there. And I say, good for you, Mr. President.

So there's a guy on TikTok, and I don't know who this guy is, but he's really good, and he's analyzing all of this stuff. I want you to hear what this guy has to say about the 4B movement among gals. And again, they're all upset because you men, you mean, smelly, misogynistic, go make me a sandwich in the kitchen men didn't vote for Kabala Harris. Cut eight, please. You know, I'm hearing talk of this 4B movement because Trump won the presidency, right?

My thing is this: oh no, shiver me timbers. You know what's so crazy? We've gone so far left that we've come back around right. Isn't that crazy? Women are saying, you know what?

We're not going to have sex with any of you anymore until you treat us with respect. Let me get this straight. You had to have a woman lose the presidency for you to stop sleeping with men unless they show you respect. Is that not hilarious to you? We're not gonna have sex with any men until y'all start treating us like human beings.

Y'all was sleeping with men that wasn't treating you like human beings. We're not having any children until marriage! Y'all were having children before. Like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?

Who are you telling? We've been asking y'all to stop being. Years. They've been asking y'all, stop being three years. And it takes Kamala Harris to lose the presidency for y'all to say, you know what.

We're clothing our legs until we get some respect!

Alright, that'll do it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's true. And men of the Todd Stern Show listening audience, just for a second here. I mean, would you rather date a A hoe?

I mean, somebody who's going out there and is promiscuous and is just doing all sorts of horrible things? Or would you like a nice. Pro-America conservative gal who maybe goes to church and wants to have a family and is a pretty darn good cook and she dresses nicely and takes care of herself. Would you rather have that? Or would you have one of those childless cat ladies who's prowling the streets looking for any Tom Dick or Harry, as they say?

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. This is Open Line Friday, by the way. It has been. A wild week in America. Anybody else?

Are you a little tired? I mean, you could probably use a nap. I get it. It's been non-stop, and we have so much to talk about. We're going to get into the big Senate race.

There is a huge fight over the Senate majority leader, and this is a big, big deal, folks. And we need to be talking about this, and we are just a little bit later. Also, they are trying to steal the Senate race from McCormick in Pennsylvania. We're going to check in with that, see the very latest numbers there. Also, we're going to be talking to our good buddy Joe Messina out in California with some of the election results there.

Huge, huge gains for Republicans in California as well. Again, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. A large retail store just canceled a huge order, leaving my pillow with a ton of extra my pillows. But you know what?

Uh All right, here's the headline of the New York Post today: Liberal women withhold sex. Shave heads to protest Trump win. Blank being hot. That's their rally cry.

So they want to be ugly, and they're proud of it. No no, Della, they're not shaving their armpits, just the heads. I don't know why. I do not know why. But again, ladies and gentlemen, I've got to go back to twenty twenty when Joe Biden stole the election from Donald Trump.

What did we do collectively as conservatives? Can you think back to that? Just think back to that dark day in American history. You know what we did? We didn't go out there and shave our heads and armpits and and and curse and scream and Act like animals and destroy things.

No, we got up and we went back to work. We were disappointed. But you know what? We had bills to pay, so we went to work and carried on with our lives. These people have lost their collective minds.

Ladies and gentlemen. All right, let's go to the phones here. nine hundred one two six zero five nine two six open line Friday. Jimmy in Dyersburg, Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM. Hi, Jimmy, what say you?

Hey, Todd, how the heck are you today?

Sounds like you're wonderful. I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. Hmm. I tell you what, those women really are doing us a favor.

I mean, I'm 65, happily married. But all you single guys, they're doing you a favor because now you know what they're really like and you don't have to worry about getting the wrong one. This is true. It really is a modern day hands made tale, I guess. You know what's interesting?

They did the exit polling data, and it really is true that young men in America, Generation Z young men, overwhelmingly are voting conservative. And that's a pretty exciting. We're talking about 18 to 29-year-olds. Looks like they're going to be the ones to save the country, Jimmy.

Well, my three son-in-laws and my My three sons and two son-in-laws. They voted that way. Is that right? Why Jimmy, do you mind if I asked why did they vote Republican? I guess it's 'cause of the way they're brought up.

They know what's right from wrong. They all believe in the Bible. And I mean, it's, you know, some of this stuff is so simple. God doesn't make a mistake. Either you're a man or you're a woman.

You know, it's interesting. I was reading or listening to CNN this morning, and we're going to play some audio a little bit later on, but there are actually Democrats, and they're just saying that now. They're like, you know, the reality is that most of us believe that, that men do not belong in women's sports, but they have basically been silenced by the progressive wing of their party. And look, that's their problem. But the reality is, most Americans don't.

Do not agree with this radical sex agenda that they were shoving down our throats. But, Jimmy, can we get real for just a moment? That's not the reason why Donald Trump won. The reason why is the price of eggs and milk and bread at the grocery store. As Bill Clinton said infamously, It's the economy, stupid.

Jimmy, gotta run. Thank you for calling in. Have a great weekend. Our number again: 901-260-5926. Why did you go and vote?

What was the big issue for you? On election day, and what do you want to see President Trump do his first day in office? 901-260-5926-2626. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

So glad to have you with us today as we continue to celebrate Donald J. Trump's. Really historic victory, and it really is going to be a great, great four years for America. Let's go to the phone lines here. Steve in Arkansas listening to us on KWAM.

Hi, Steve. What's on your mind today? Yeah. This issue you brought up about these What 4B women and all the stuff we're seeing since the election, these women's just completely losing their mind. They're so upset Here's their chance to prove how dedicated they are to their Uh reproductive rights and their belief that their happiness and their freedom to do what they want and get their way is more important than a human law.

About yourself. You want out of this, you don't have to deal with all this space. Abort yourself.

Now, why would you say something like that, Steve? Why would you tell people to go out there and kill themselves? Because they are saying their happiness is more important than human life. Here's our chance to prove it. It's okay.

I guess it's just more important than human life if you're taking somebody else's life.

Well, I'm about 1,000% in opposition to what you just said there because I believe that every life is important. And I'm hoping that these far-leftists will actually wake up and understand that they have been indoctrinated, they have been brainwashed. We are dealing with a large swath of Generation Z and also the millennials that have been turned into mental cases as a result of the education system in this country and far left politics.

So, no, I don't want people going out there and doing that, Steve. Appreciate the call. 901-260-5926. Let's go to Jackson in Waterloo, Iowa. Hi, Jackson.

What's on your mind today? On my mind, it's Open Line Friday.

So you had a guest on the other day. He talked about that bubble coming. I forget who he was. And I agree. I've been in the stock market since 1985.

And we're over jubilant here. We're we're heading to a depression. That's what happened in 1929. We're in the money. Good times never felt so good.

Happy days are here again were the songs. And the stock market crashed overnight. For instance, We are now at 44,000. We're up almost another three hundred a day. Every day it's in the green.

This just cannot continue, Todd. My parents would be one hundred and five years old today if they could tell you all about it.

Well, look, this is going to be a challenge, and we've still got a couple of months to go before Trump takes office. And even then, Jackson, and we talked briefly about this yesterday, Trump's not going to be able to fix the economic issues overnight. That's not going to happen. But right now, I think the reason why people are jubilant is they believe that Trump is going to be able to do something to bring down the cost of everyday goods at the grocery store. At forty-four thousand even Warren Buffett is getting out.

He comes from the Depression era.

So, what do you think is going to happen?

So, predict, put on, all right. I hear what you're saying here, Jackson, but what do you want Trump to do? I'm not blaming Trump. I'm not blaming Trump. I'm just saying.

No, but it's going to happen under his watch. Hold on, hold on, hold on. It's going to happen under his watch. He's going to get the blame for it. You're right, it's not going to be his fault if it happens.

But what do you recommend the administration do? Todd, this was all going on before Trump got elected, okay? I voted for the man three times. What I'm saying is, there's something coming. You can't have a straight line, and that's what's been going on.

Every day we're in the green. You gotta have back up and fill up, back up and fill up. People are just aesthetic. That's what happened in 1929. It's coming.

2025, we're going. If this keeps up, there's a depression coming.

So if you got money, you're going to lose it overnight. All right, Jackson, we heard the warning, and I certainly hope that's not the case, and I hope it doesn't come true. I know we've been encouraging people for years now to diversify. Don't put all of your eggs in Wall Street. Make sure you've got some gold, silver, precious metals in your portfolio because you want to make sure that you can survive to some extent.

God forbid, as Jackson is concerned and is warning us, if we are heading into some sort of a depression. Jackson, appreciate that call and your passion today. Let's go to Susie in Gainesville, Georgia, W-D-U-N. Hi, Susie. What's on your mind?

Hey, my friend, Todd. I'm just elated beyond elated that we, the people, spoke and we won, Todd. And I couldn't call you Wednesday because you were flooded. We had a lot. You have a lot and I just love the excitement in your voice now, Todd.

You uplift me. And I don't like these negative calls about my president because now just let me be on a high, you know. Um One thing I would like for them to do is just get these people out of Jail up there and the J6 people, just get them out. Susie, I believe that's going to happen. And, you know, again, oh, by the way, there's been some movement on Trump's trial and Jack Smith, and it looks like that's over with.

That's just done. That's not going to happen. Yeah, look, I think he's going to have a big plate of stuff that he's going to do, and we're going to be seeing a lot of things happening on day one. And, Susie, I really do hope that is the first thing we see are all those folks marching out of that prison. Maybe Trump will let him march in the Inauguration Day parade.

But you're right, we've got to get those people out. Yeah, yeah. Wouldn't you wouldn't you love to be there on Inauguration Day? Are you going? You know, we are.

I'm talking about that. I would love to be there. It's just a matter of logistics because I want to make sure that we're broadcasting our show live that day. And so we'll have to wait and see Susie. But that would be, if we can make it happen, we'll make it happen.

Okay. I'll be listening to it. All right, Susie. Thank you for the call. Let's go to Wilmington, North Carolin or Willington, North Carolina.

Will is listening to us on WSJS. Hi, Will. What's on your mind today? Okay, Todd, let's go back a few years here. 2016 election, Whoopee Goldberg said she was going to leave the country.

if Donald Trump was elected.

Well, it didn't work that time. They always say the second time is a charm. Here's our second chance. Please. Please.

She and Jillie Behar and Sunny Host get together and go get a condo somewhere out of the country. Stay gone from us. Can we do a GoFundMe page? I don't know. Oh, they've got plenty of cash.

I don't think that's a big deal. By the way, it's America Ferreira. She was one of the Hollywood stars talking about leaving. Was it Barbara Streisand, Sharon Stone, Cher? I wonder if maybe there's some real estate available, I don't know, in the Gaza Strip.

That might be a lovely place. But they could certainly do a little refurb on it. What is that? Flip my country. Why not?

I don't know. There's something to it. Also, Miley Cyrus, George Lopez, Amy Schumer, and you mentioned Whoopi Goldberg. Yeah, you know what? Just go ahead and you can actually get an entire plane, just charter an entire flight, and you can drop them off at the country of their choice.

That's right. When our Whoopi had started this movement, On TikTok long ago. Trust me. I don't know. That was the last time anybody.

had any relations with Miss Whoopee, I apologize for that. Wow. That's a little harsh, Will. Truth hurts sometimes. All right.

Well, it's Open Line Friday, my friend. All right. Will, God bless you. Thank you for the call. 901-260-5926 is our number.

All right. Oh, this is amazing. David Axelrod, who was Obama's senior advisor. Is now having a come to Jesus moment. Or Chicago Jesus moment.

He says the problem with Democrats is that they're becoming a smarty pants, suburban, college-educated party. Is that it? Is that really does he really think that's the that's the problem here? Or is it possible that most Democrats? At least in leadership in the party.

Are billionaires now? That they really don't care about anybody in the middle class. They don't certainly don't care about blue-collar workers at all. Maybe that's the problem.

So, Scott Jennings, last night on CNN, I'm really liking this guy.

So, they had a comedian on. His name is Dominic somebody. And right away, you knew this guy had a chip on his shoulder. He was such a bad guest and such a vile guest. I'm going to be surprised if CNN has the guy back on because even the liberals were trying to corral this guy.

But Scott Jennings was not having any of it. Cut number 10, please. If you look at the arc of the Biden presidency, he was in really good shape until August of 2021. When Afghanistan happened, he went under 40. She went under 40, and they really lived there until the end of the president.

She's still there. I'll tell you why. Because he ran and told us that the adults were back in charge, and that was the opposite of the child. They were, because the fact that they wouldn't give these. Uh 13 service members' families.

The time of Dude, I was sorry. They were sorry, but Donald Trump hates. veterans. He called them suckers and losers. He did.

He absolutely despite he has his whole life. He has his entire life. I know you're super emotional. I'm telling you the political reality is that when they made that decision, It doesn't matter, but you don't admit that. You're not veterans.

You don't admit it. You may let's say deny a man, Chief John Kelly, a Marine. You say he lied. You're still campaigning. You say he lied.

It's not over. It'll never be over. It'll never be over. Yeah. It got ugly from there.

But Jennings held his own here, and these people are unhinged. By the way, New York Post, new headline up: Trump sees 50% boost in New York's Jewish vote compared to 2020. Wait, what? Wait, wait a second. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I thought Trump was Hitler. What So, how is it that Donald Trump got a 50% boost in New York's Jewish vote in New York alone? By the way, Trump also received a record number of the Jewish, Black, Hispanic, and Native American vote. I am telling you, this man went out there and built a coalition. He built a brand new political party.

That's what he did.

Now, a lot of people are very nervous about The deportations. And I want to say something about that for just a moment. And again, this is just how topsy-turvy our politics have been in this country. It was Ronald Reagan who actually initiated amnesty for the illegals. All right?

That's where the problem. Really, really started in our modern political history. When Ronald Reagan did that, it was so bad that the Democrats used securing the border as a pretty powerful campaign tool, a campaign weapon. And so, Bill Clinton, of all people, is responsible. Are you ready for this?

Bill Clinton is responsible for deporting 11 million or so illegal aliens from American soil.

Now just think about this for a moment. Trump is wanting to deport the same numbers as a Republican president, and they're calling him every name in the book. But it was the Democrats. It was Bill Clinton who oversaw the largest mass deportation in American history. Back in the 1990s, a little bit of history that the mainstream media doesn't like to talk about.

So, all that to say this. These illegals are costing us billions and billions of dollars that we do not have right now. We can't afford to take care of these people. The immigrants that we want to welcome into America are coming in here for jobs. They have something to offer the country.

The illegals coming across the border are taking from the country. And that's why they've got to go. This is, it is not, it is not rude, it's not mean, it's not uncompassionate, it's none of that. It's common sense. We've got to protect.

Our country. We have to secure our borders. And God love the mayor of New York City. And he's facing a big problem right now. But Eric Adams.

is finally stepping up and doing the right thing. And isn't it interesting how everybody now feels like they've been loosed from the chains of the Democrats? And Adams is now ending the illegal alien voucher program. This is pretty spectacular.

So, this is going to be a big deal, and it's going to be saving New Yorkers billions of dollars. There's no reason why New Yorkers, hardworking New Yorkers, should be feeding illegals who are living in high end hotels right now in New York City. No reason whatsoever. Let me tell you something. It's going to happen fast, ladies and gentlemen.

The change that we're about to see in this country, the change in the bureaucracy is going to be off the hook. It is going to be a lot of fun, and you're going to have to buckle up. You're going to have to come to this program every single day, putting some Red Bull in the fruit loops, because we're going to be going through a lot of the big, big news celebrating the changes that Trump is going to be implementing. All right, we've got to take a quick break here. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.

That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. I don't really like. I'm gonna 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 gonna need a lot of mental health days.

Do you have a game room? My pronouns are Z's and Zer. Isn't it time you hired grown-ups? Call redballoon.work 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.work. And welcome back to the Totsturns Radio Show. Let's go to Woodville, Alabama. Anthony joins us today on Open Line Friday.

Hi, Anthony. What do you want to talk about? Yes, Mr. Starnes. Thank you for taking my call.

And what I want to talk about is, I remember you yesterday, I listened to you. And you were talking about Mike Johnson and how he's already Folden, when he mentioned something about comprehensive immigration reform.

Well, I just read an article on White Scoop that Josh Hawley is now endorsing John Corning. For the Senate leader. And um I think what's going to happen is the Republican Party is going to do exactly what they've always done. They're going to fold like the cheap tens that they are. If you recall, John Gordon was the guy who cut that gun control deal.

with the Dems not too long ago. and help to push that through.

So I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case you know. I think that Well, I know the Republican party is the only party we've had to go to, but I think they're really going to let us down really big time.

So, pretty much, you can go ahead and say what you got to say. Walter here, and you, sir, have a good day and thanks for taking my time.

Well, Anthony, you're very kind, sir, and a very pithy caller as well. We appreciate that. And Anthony has raised some really good points here. Coming up in the next hour, we're going to get into the conversation over Senate leadership. That is going to be the big lead story next week.

Also, we're going to be talking about it on my Newsmax TV show later this evening. But the reality is Donald Trump is going to need people he can rely on. And I'm fairly certain that Jon Thune, who, by the way, and we'll play some audio here, has not been a Trump fan, is a very close friend of both Liz and Dick Cheney. That's a problem. And then John Cornyn's got his own set of larger issues.

And we'll get into more of that in the next hour. I do want to say thank you for all the folks that came out yesterday. Got to meet a lot of our great listeners around the Memphis area. A lot of fun there in Germantown. And just had a wonderful time meeting a lot of small business owners, too.

And I can tell you right now. That the business, the small business community is beyond thrilled that Trump won that election on Tuesday. And I think it is going to be great, great news. for a lot of small businesses around the country as we start to see some of these rules, these taxes eventually eliminated. Keep in mind, Trump wants to do away with the income tax And that's why he's a big proponent of these tariffs.

All right, so hang tight, everybody. We've got a lot of ground to cover. 901-260-5926. It is Open Line Friday. That's 901-260-5926.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. See ya. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd starts.

Well, it's looking pretty good for Carrie Lake. She is very much on a path to victory out in Arizona. Maricopa County. Just yesterday dropping over 70,000 votes. Gary Lake got 57% of them.

And just a few moments ago, getting this intel in, another 23,000 ballots just dropped in Maricopa County, and Kerry Lake won 58% of those.

So this is looking very good for Kerry Lake. If Kerry is able to win, and you've got Sam Brown over in Nevada, and he's on a pretty tight race as well, you could have Republicans with a 55-seat majority in the U.S. Senate.

So we'll keep you updated on those numbers. Hello, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Always an honor to have you with us. May I ask you a question? And I'm going to be the first to admit I've done this.

There's a guy on X, and he's very upset because he wore a Kamala Harris ball cap into the grocery store, and he said that people are. laughed at him And Pointed at him. and made fun of him. They're savages These people just savages He was really upset. But my question is this, what is more off putting?

Is it a Kamala Harris ball camp? Or is it the people wearing the the face coverings, the face diapers? You're in the grocery store because I am guilty as charged. If I see somebody walking onto an airplane or walking into a grocery store and they're wearing a face diaper, I sort of. Inwardly chuckled myself.

And that inward chuckle may inadvertently pop out, just, you know, because it's funny, right? It's stupid, but it's sort of funny.

So, anyway, this man is very upset, and he was posting about all of this. And he says, You people just need to be nicer, just nicer. All right, well, we'll do our best, sir. All right, it is Open Line Friday, everybody. That means you can call in, talk about whatever you want to talk about.

You got a question, you can call in, and I will answer that question for you: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line right now, our good friend Joe Messina. He is the host of the Joe Messina Show in Santa Clarita, California on radio station KHTS, also our great affiliate in Santa Clarita. Joe, hope you're doing well.

I am doing well. I finally got my power back on here in North Venezuela, and we're doing great. You know, Joe, there's a that's a lovely way to describe your state. Venezuela Northern Venezuela. Yes, sir.

Wow. All right, let's talk election results. And first of all, before we get to LA, there is a race that nobody is talking about. And I think this is the bigger story: is what happened to London Breed up in San Francisco. Oh, yeah.

She got her clock cleaned. The incumbent mayor losing in a landslide to a fellow Democrat. Yeah, yeah, fell fellow millionaire Democrat. and who is business friendly. And I think the Dems have overstepped, and especially in San Francisco, where the people there are pretty much open to anything, as you know, over the years, you reported on some of the things they've done.

And now I think they're tired of it. They have a vacancy tax in San Francisco.

So if you don't rent out your store, you have to pay taxes on the vacancy. Because what no, seriously, they have what's called a vacancy tax. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's. three point five percent or what have you of the going rate for rental fees.

I don't know exactly what the number is, but if you don't have your store rented out, if they're not receiving taxes or fees from that, you have to pay the city for an empty store because you can't rent it out because you can't move the homeless out of your walkway or take the human excrement and pick it up on your own. That's absolutely insane, Joe. I had not heard about that. But the new mayor, I understand, he's connected to the Levi Strauss fortune.

So he comes from big money. Yes. And he doesn't have to worry like Trump and like RFK Jr., he doesn't have to worry about his next job or where his money is going to come from or who he's going to hitch his wagon to. He claims to love the city. I've seen some clips on him.

I don't know him very well, but he wants to return the city to what it was before. Wow. All right. So that is huge. And the numbers, they do the ranked choice.

Is that right there?

So they had a lot of candidates running, but he's still. Just blew her away. 56% of the vote to her 43%.

So goodbye, London. I guess they're misogynist in San Francisco, too. Is that it? That's that's a misogynist, yeah, not just misogynist, but racist, because he's a white man and she is a woman of color. Wow.

Is he a straight white guy? I'm just curious. I could call him and find out. I'm not sure.

Well, don't ask him. No, because I've always said that there's no way Democrats would ever elect a straight white guy. And so I may be mistaken here. My apologies if I am. All right, let's talk about Los Angeles County.

And there was a huge DA's race down there. And George Gascon, who is a, is it fair to call him a George Soros prototype? Oh, very very uh yes, very much so. I would call a George bootlooker. Yeah.

I mean, I don't know any other way to put it. The man he will not prosecute pretty much any crime for a juvenile. He won't prosecute attempted murder charges several times. Policemen have been shot or shot in cold blood. He won't go for the murder, you know, the murder penalty or death penalty.

Uh that you just listen to the man speak. He's never prosecuted a case. I'm sure you've talked about that. I've got a lot of friends that are LAPD and just say he is just not interested in upholding the law unless you are a straight white guy who maybe has too many parking violations. He might throw you in jail for that.

Well, with the Menendez brothers, and he was pretty much getting ready to set those guys free. Yep. Yeah. And and the new guy coming in, I have met him and talked to him several times. And so he's looking at them and he's saying, he'd like to slow down all of this We look at some of these cases that were let go or given no sentences or what is it, free bail.

This is going to be a mess, Todd. This is a big deal in LA County. I don't think people realize. How bad the crime is here. A lot of the crime isn't being reported.

In my town of Santa Clarita, we have 300,000 plus, and we're considered a little town. And I've got close ties with the sh the uh captain of the police force here, and and he told me crime here rose twenty-five to thirty percent. Wow. And uh and part of it is they know they can get away with it. He said, Joe, they walk out the door, they commit another crime, we can't hold them.

We write them up. give them a slip and they walk out the door and they literally had somebody a couple of months back walk across the street from the sheriff's station to the car dealer and steal another car. True gospel truth story. You know, we're dealing with the same thing here in Memphis where we base our national showjo. And it's we've got a George Soros DA in office, and the cops are I was talking to a police officer a couple of months ago.

He said, Todd, We can arrest them. Before we can finish our paperwork, they're already right out the door. And there's nothing and then the mayor says, Well, no, no, crime is really down and it's just a perception problem. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah, really. And there's a lot of crime that's the stores, local store owners I talk to don't even report anymore because it doesn't do any good. Yeah, what's the point? Yeah, yeah, they're understaffed. They don't get there for hours at a time.

I know one person whose home was robbed and the police showed up 24 hours later, mostly because they're again, they're understaffed, not because they don't want to be there. And the police officer told them, don't expect to see any of your stuff back. Joe Messina on our Patriot mobile newsmaker line from Santa Clarita, California, a great radio host out there. Joe, in addition to Gascon, there's also in the Bay Area in Alameda County, the DA there, who's also a progressive, she is I'm going to read this from Politico. Early results in the Bay Area show a sizable lead for the effort to recall her.

So, I mean, it seems as though you wonder: is something going on in California? You know, Todd, on my show, I've been talking for a long time in California that the cracks are appearing in the dam. that even the most liberal of business owners and residents are saying, hey, why is this happening? Or why is that happening? And how come we can't get this?

And they're getting it's very hard. Mainstream media out here especially will not carry any negative news against Newsome.

So now they're starting to get the message. They're seeing it online. They're seeing it in other places. And they're starting to realize, hey, this is our people. These are Democrats that are allowing this to happen, not funding the police.

And so I'm seeing that even the hardcore Dems are starting to vote For what they and I would call a moderate Republican to make sure that maybe they will be protected in their neighborhoods. Maybe they can get some of that. tax dollars back. Let's talk about Prop 36, because you guys do a lot of voting on these propositions. And this one is huge.

And I think it really to your point, I think it really does expose the cracks in the Democrat wall. Yeah. So let me tell you a dirty little secret about Prop 36, right? You know that we are the Dems have a supermajority here in California, and they didn't want this. They didn't back it.

Matter of fact, my local Democrat Assembly person was against putting this out to begin with. But when she saw the popularity, she shut her mouth and stopped speaking against it anymore. But what the legislature did was they got together before these props passed. and they pass the slew of bills That would almost negate So, I think that's a good idea. if it goes through.

So they're very, very sneaky, very dirty out here in the legislature. But what that was supposed to do is take the original prop, I think it was $47 and and where you had to steal up to nine hundred and fifty dollars. worth of goods in order to get arrested and actually be put in jail.

So if you kept it I don't know if they include a tax in that, Todd.

So you know stay at nine hundred bucks. in theft, and I think you'd be okay.

So the the new prop was was meant to say, okay, no, there are mandatory there's a mandatory bail, mandatory positions that you had the judges had to take on this. before they let them go. And the police had to lock up, especially when it came to drug you know, dr drug offenses. people have sold drugs, people sold drugs and maybe somebody died because it was fentanyl in that drug. It just really opened it back up to judges being able to serve justice on people and the police being able to actually arrest someone and keep them in jail.

for these things.

Now the people wanted it overwhelmingly. And the legislature kind of did their backyard stuff again.

So there's a video that circulated. I don't know if you've seen this, where I was at Beverly Hills High School, where you had all these high school kids and they're in the courtyard and they're having a huge Trump rally. I mean, these are kids, high school kids, in Beverly Hills. Easy. Oh, yeah.

No, it's you're seeing this.

Now, you know, I'm on a school board of a large school district here in California, and we're seeing Trump rallies smaller than that, but we're seeing Trump rallies too. And I've got to tell you, the left is losing their mind over it.

Some of the more liberal parents are writing into the school board members saying, we can't allow this. And I'm thinking, can't allow what? Freedom of speech on campus. We can't allow kids to show that they're happy about something going down. We're still in America for the moment.

Wow. All right, Joe, we could talk for a whole hour here. I've got about sixty seconds. And I'm curious about where does California go from here? Are you anticipating maybe in the midterms we can start seeing a little bit of movement, Republicans chipping away at that massive supermajority of Democrats?

It only happens, Todd, if the Republicans that get elected, the people that they put in office actually do something. You know, actually make something happen, actually, you know, do what they say they were going to do when they got elected. If they do that and things get better here in California, I can see us chipping away at the supermajority. If we just sail, just float along, no, I think we lose it again. It'll go back totally back to the Democrats, even at the local levels.

Yeah, I'm with you 1,000% there. And we're going to have to stay focused. And we can't just take the foot off the gas right now. We've got to keep this up because I think we're at the birthing of a movement in this country, Joe. And I'm excited about what could happen in California.

Yep, me too. Amen. You know, I mean, again, if God keeps opening up those doors and we have the people that'll walk through, we'll make a difference. All right. The great Joe Messina, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, what a wow. Let me tell you something. You married up, my friend. What a lovely lady. And she's a Georgia Peach, my friend.

An Italian boy from Boston got his hands on a Georgia Peach. She's wonderful. Oh, you're a blessed man. That's I am. All right, Joe, we're going to let you get back at it.

Well, it's um It's a little bittersweet on the show. Is it a lot? No, it's a lot bittersweet. It really is. Um.

Four and a half years ago, I moved back to Memphis and bought KWAM News Radio, and the very first person I hired. Was Grace Baker. And she was. I met Grace when she was still in college. And she became the executive producer of the Todd Stearns Radio Show, a position she has held since, well, we've been back here in Memphis four and a half years.

And today is Grace's. Last day on the show, and Grace is. On our Patriot mobile newsmaker line today. Grace, I hope you like the Doobie Brothers.

Well, I'm actually wearing a Doo Brothers t-shirt right now.

So I was like, did he pick that on purpose? Or was that just a coincidence? No coincidences on this show, Grace Baker. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Well, Todd, I can't believe it's been four and a half years. When I met you, oh my gosh, we were in the middle of a pandemic based or no, we met right before the pandemic. And then the world plunged into chaos about a few weeks later, wasn't it? It's true. And again, I am shocked you put up with me this long.

I think that's really the headline out of all of this. It's been a great ride. And we have traveled together. We've had a lot of fun together. I've gotten to meet a lot of cool people.

I miss cultivating your show because I don't get to talk to your listener. But I love hearing them on the air as well.

So even though I moved to Chicagoland, You know, it's kind of like I never left.

Well, we're going to give people an opportunity to call in and talk to you, folks.

So if you want to say goodbye to Grace, and we're going to talk about that in just a second, but give us a call, 901-260-5926. Grace Baker, her last day on the show. And I know many of you are huge Grace Baker fans. I know that because when people come up to me at events, they're like, How come you didn't bring Grace?

So I know. Let me stop you there. Are people big Grace Baker fans, or are they bigger fans of my dog Merlot, the Dalmatian, that I mention every time I come on? Yeah, I think it's Merlot. I don't know.

I think it's Merlot. Oh, my goodness. 901-260-5926. And Grace, you have to tell the story of how you and I actually met. I just love this story.

Yes, so I was the chapter president of Young America's Foundation over at the University of Memphis. And we went to one of their conferences that they had over in the Nashville area. And I was sitting there with my friends, and you went up on stage. And I have to say, there were some good speakers that day, but I remember we were all kind of just like, in a malaise a little bit at that point. And you came up there and you got everybody So riled up, hooping and hollering, cheering.

And at the end of your speech, you said, and I'm buying a station in Memphis. And I was like, well, I'm graduating in two months. I'd better go up and meet this guy.

So I basically just went up to you and said, hi, I need a job in two months. And the rest was history. And I you were the very first hire. And so when when we bought the radio station, we had to do a complete reno of the building. And so we literally worked in a in a construction zone.

We did. I remember I had to like switch rooms around and I just had my laptop and I would go. I mean, though you wouldn't recognize the way the station looks now versus then. It was completely different. And I just remember you would be on air.

Do you remember we sat in that conference room and you were like hooked up with your little comrade? And in the back, you can hear bang, bang, bang, and you're like, oh, don't worry, it's just construction, you know, on the air, like whatever, it's just part of it.

So we had to be kind of flexible during that time. It was a lot of fun. And of course, you were Grace Baker. There was no Merlot. Sir Merlot, you know, came along on the show, and so did Mr.

Producer. That's true. I mean, you've been with me through several stages of lifestyle. I mean, Marriage, a dog. Haven't quite gotten to kids yet.

I'm leaving because I'm having a kid. I'm not having a kid. Not right now.

So. Verlot is my baby for now. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Let's bring into the conversation the CEO of Strange Media Group, Dalton Glasscock. Dalton, you're on the air with Grace.

Did you know she was leaving? I didn't don't want to drop that bombshell. Cute. This is exactly how I found out. Oh, no.

It'll be in Politico before you know it. No, we need better lines of communication. Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. amazing to work with you.

And I just want to say thank you. And I know that Todd and I will still be harassing you, hopefully just as friends now. And you won't get calls if there's travel problems.

Now I'm going to have to get those calls again. Oh my goodness. Yeah, no more deltas being delayed calls. Starter Delta. Delta, you've been great to work with, and I've loved working with you and the whole team.

And we've gotten to just have some fun times together and some fun trips together. It's been a hoop.

Well, thank you for putting up with, I think, our nontraditional work environment in terms of remote work, learning and COVID together, dealing with COD together, dealing with Todd together, dealing with Todd.

Okay, I we heard you the first time. But that's fun. You know, it's it's fun, right? I mean, a cor big old corporate job sitting in a cubicle is boring, right? Hey, we keep it fun.

We do, we do. We keep it fun and entertaining for sure. Absolutely. All right, Dalton, we're going to let you go now. But thank you.

All right. Thanks for calling in. Grace, let's get in. You're getting ganged up on here. Right, exactly.

Well, let's bring in Mark from the Villages, America's friendliest hometown. Mark, you're on the air with Grace. I hate to see you go. You were the first person I ever talked to when I first started listening to the show. And I hate to hear that.

Was it just that Go ahead. I'm sorry. No, I was going to say, you have been a regular since I started there. I remember. I've never forgotten you, Mark.

Yeah, it's so awesome. You know, what was it? Did Todd just didn't pay you enough money? Oh, wow. No, no.

You know what? This election has just done me in, and I'm ready to kind of get out of politics for a little bit. That's really it.

So Well, that's probably a good idea. If you're ever down here in the villages and you want to want to ride one of these golf carts with these crazy people down here, Well, just hit just hit me up. Bring time. That would be great, Mark. Thanks so much.

No, honestly, it's like I'm going out on a good note with Trump winning. I mean, it's like, okay, coming out on the win with Trump winning. All right. Thanks, Mark. We'll chat next week.

And again, if you want to say goodbye to Grace and Sweet Merlot, give us a call, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Nevada. Wyatt Cox, heads up the Nevada Talk Network, K-E-L-Y. And Wyatt, you're on the air with Grace.

I guess, Grace, we have to actually break the news. Grace is coming to Nevada with her husband in Merlot. Grace. Grace is going to help me run the radio. Grace is going to help me run the radio station, and she's going to work with our Barks Animal Rescue out here.

to try to make things work better. Merlo will be your new on-air personality.

Well, we could actually consider putting Merlot on in this time slot. We don't know. A tag starts? I thought we were saying goodbye to Grace. What's going on here?

Things are taking a minute at first. Oh, my goodness. Grace has always been wonderful. Anytime we've needed something, she's been able to help. Starns has lost a big one here, and we certainly hope that things will go well for Grace and mister Producer.

And especially if you have not seen the videos on Instagram of Merlot running the Uh the races, it's it's amazing. Yeah, I mean, you're Merlot has become really a celebrity, Grace. Yes, she has become a little celebrity. I mean, I remember when I first got her, she especially came to we did several remotes on the local KWAM side, and she was coming to the remotes So people kind of got to know her up close and personal. And now, you know, we're running what Wyatt was saying, we're running in these agility races.

We've got one tonight, and then we're going to a trial on Sunday for the first time. Wow. She's a little athletic superstar. Is Grace going to be in one of the and we're going to get to Ben Dieter. Yeah, we got Ben Dieter coming up next.

Is it but is Berlot going to be in like the Westminster Dog Show? I can only dream. That's like my Michael Jordan. Like, I'm like, okay, if we could get there, we would really make it if we could get to the Westminster Dog Show. Wow.

I don't know if you've seen these agility races. But I don't think either you or I could run one of those agility races in a In double the time that Merlot can do it. Yeah, I can assure you that was the case with me because I actually put me through one of those at Westminster when I was at Fox News, and I failed miserably.

So there's horrible videos somewhere. Wyatt, we're going to let you go, my friend. We got a lot of folks lined up wanting to say goodbye to Grace Baker. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926.

Let's go to Mark listening to us on WLOB. Mark, you're on the air with Grace. Hey, Mark, how's it going? Mike, my apologies. The mic up at WLLB, Grace.

Mike, how's it going? I'd recognize that accent anywhere. Yeah. How are you, girl?

So you're leaving. I'm very good. I am, I am, and I'll tell you, it's still on my bucket list to come over to Maine and have some lobster. I have still not been to Maine this entire time. And I've had to hear about it for four years, how good the food is there.

Well, you get a hold of myself or Ray Richardson when you come up and we'll pick you right up with a bunch of lobster. of that time. Definitely. That would be awesome. Thank you so much.

You've been calling in gosh since I started as well, I feel like. I've known you a while, Mike. Yeah, it's been a long time, Grace. Uh what am I doing with my favorite puppy? Oh, well, she's staying with me, obviously.

And we're running our races like we were just talking about. And so she's doing just fine. Wait, Merlot's quitting, too? Hey, what? Oh, yeah, I know.

See, I'm telling you, people are more upset I'm taking Merlot, quote-unquote, taking her, than anything else. All right, Mike. Merlot spoke to her union representative yet? All right, we're hanging up on Mike now. All right, Mike, don't cause problems here.

Love you, Grace. Bye-bye. Hey, now. Hey, now. All right, that's Mike.

And now we have a union issue. Jeez Lou. I know. All right, we've got Ben Dieter back with us. Yeah, this is uh-oh, let's go to Ben Dieter.

You're on the air with Grace Baker. Who's going to tell me not to not pump on the air like great? That's what they're worried about, they don't lying about researchers. Yeah, okay, all right, one at a time here. Dieter, what were you saying?

Who's going to tell everybody not to cuss on air? I mean, Todd, you're going to have to take your show tonight and do a late-night show. Wow. That is Grace's primary job. Get on air, no cussing, no swearing, keep it clean and keep it quick.

Everybody knows this. Bailed it colon to your show. No foul language. Oh, there it is. You know, it's interesting, guys.

I don't think a lot of people realize. I mean, you, Ben, you and Grace and Dylan and Cassie, the whole team here, you guys are super, super close and friends in real life, too. Not just here on the show. Definitely. Oh yeah, I've said already when I come in town for the holidays, definitely we've gotta hang out.

Go get some food and go get some Memphis barbecue for sure. I've been missing that. Though the real question is does Grace turn on the radio on Monday? Yeah. Oh, she's going into retirement.

I know. I might need a little time to detox from politics after all we've been through the past few months.

Well, if our numbers are down in Chicagoland, we'll know why. Oh my gosh. That's true 'cause I am always listening in Chicago, so No, Grace, we're gonna miss you. And I will say this before I skew Grace was the reason that I didn't get shot when I moved to Memphis because Grace was my first contact here. And I almost moved to, well, let's just say one of the bad parts of town because I just typed in on Zillow, a cheap apartment, and that sent me to like a freezer.

And Grace said, You don't want to move there, you will die. And so, but for Grace. And God, I live.

So thank you, Grace. And we're going to miss you with time. And it's sad, bittersweet, but I'm super excited for your next chapter. You're going to do great. Thanks so much, Ben.

Yeah, Todd. I tried to tell him to move out into the suburbs and he wanted to live in the city. I tried to tell him. It's his own fault. It is his own fault.

All right, Ben Dieter, we'll be chatting with you more. Thanks, Ben. Bye, guys. All right. Grace, let's bring in Connor from Boston.

Fifty five percent of the population Around here anyway. Mike, I'm a thousand percent in agreement with you, and thank you for those kind words. Let's go to Lance in Memphis, Tennessee. Hi, Lance. You're on the air with Grace.

Got to take a break. We'll be right back. All right, folks, hang tight. Hour three of the big show coming up, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

It's open line Friday. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-totin, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. That's us! That's right.

I love this American rap. Todd, start. Ladies and gentlemen, your voice of truth and hope across this great nation of ours, from border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. Welcome to hour three of the big show. And let me go ahead and give you our telephone number.

You will need this if you want to call in today. It is Open Line Friday. That means you can ask me any question. You can talk about whatever topic you want to talk about today. But you got to call in: 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. Well, I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our great friend. He is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, Pastor Robert Jemfris. Pastor, how's it going today?

Well, I am still hungover, not from liquor, but from the energy of Tuesday night. I was there in the room. That's a reason I couldn't talk to you Tuesday. I couldn't hear you and you couldn't hear me from the election party Tuesday night, but I've never seen as much excitement in a room as there was Tuesday. And just it's just like a cloud has been lifted from over our whole country.

People are feeling better. They just feel confident about the future. I'm doing great. You were very instrumental in giving counsel to President Trump in the first term on issues regarding faith. I'm wondering, did you guys keep that relationship up during the Biden years?

Yeah. Absolutely. You know, he came and attended and spoke at our church during that time. I went to Mar-a-Lago. You did, and we continued to text, and we've kept that friendship going.

So I'm just so proud of him and happy for him. The greatest political comeback in history, no doubt. You know, it's interesting, the President naming Susie Wiles as his camp as his chief of staff. And she has ties to the Dallas area and also our friend O. S.

Hawkins and Jack Graham. Yeah. Yeah, she's a wonderful choice for a Chief of Staff and first woman to be in that position, and she's going to do a great job. You know, I was talking to Ralph Reed a couple of well, it was on election night, and he was just ecstatic by the turnout in the faith among faith-based voters. There had been a lot of concern after the report came out from our friend George Barna, showing so many Christians did not even vote in 2020.

What do you think it was that compelled Christians to get off their blessed assurance, as Mike Huckabee calls it, and vote on Election Day?

Well, there are certainly issues that are of particular interest to fake voters. the abortion issue, religious freedom. Uh and so forth, but they're also uh common areas of interest with other Americans. Christians care about illegal immigration. They are concerned about protecting our borders.

They're concerned about the economy. And I think those things registered high on evangelical Christians' list of concerns, and they felt like they could trust President Trump to do what he's promised to do. And you know, I have found this in knowing the president over 10 years. If you want to know what he's going to do, just listen to him. He's very upfront.

And I tell people who say, oh, non-Christians, he's going to institute this dystopian theocracy that's going to be oppressive, the handmade fail all over again and so forth. He's said he has no interest in doing that. He's not going to try to banish gay marriage. He thinks that's a subtle issue. He's not going to have no exceptions abortion policy.

He doesn't believe in that. And I think what he does believe in when it comes to evangelical Christians or people of any faith is there ought to be religious freedom. People ought to be able to practice their faith without any government interference. And I think he's going to make sure that happens. And I have no doubt about that.

And again, I think to some extent, you know, President Trump is pretty transactional in some of the things he does. And so it makes perfect sense. And yet, when you look at what's happening, for example, last night in Amsterdam and those horrifying attacks on Jewish shocker vans, you have those roaming gangs of Muslims out there. I just wonder if President Trump is going to bring peace once again globally, because right now the world's a dumpster fire. Baby knows.

And I think any piece is a short term piece. I think he is can committed to protecting Israel. He made that a priority in his first term, and the need is even greater in his second term, and I think he's going to follow through on that plan and purpose. And Iran's attempt to assassinate him hasn't helped their position with him. I can guarantee you.

No, not at all. And of course, the Justice Department earlier today announced charges against three people involved in Iran's plot to kill Trump, along with other American citizens. Even CNN said the details were very scary stuff.

So it's a dangerous world out there. And we just do have to pray for the President's safety. I do wonder, Dr. Jeffers, what sort of an impact spiritually that assassination attempt had on President Trump?

Well, you know, Tucker Carlson asked him that last week, I guess it was last Thursday night. And he said when he answered the question, He said, yes, it's had an impact on him. And then he quoted me: he said, You know, there's a pastor in Texas, Robert Jefferson. He said a long time ago, Trump may not be the most spiritual man in the world. He may not be the greatest Christian.

He may not know the Bible as much as he should, but he is a great leader, and he's a believer, and he's going to lead us to the promised land. And I think that's what was true 10 years ago is true today. He has the number one skill needed for a President of the United States, and that's leadership. And I think he's going to be a great leader. We need to pray, as you said, for his safety the next four years.

And pray that God gives him wisdom in every decision he makes. Absolutely. Well, Dr. Jeffers, we're going to leave it there. Always good to hear from you, and I know we'll be checking in from time to time.

Great. Great to talk to you, Todd. Thanks so much. All right. Dr.

Robert Jeffers, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. And he was there on election night in Mar-a-Lago, West Palm Beach, Florida. The huge, huge celebration there. All right, folks, we are going to take a quick break. Again, our telephone number, Open Line Friday, 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. It's Open Line Friday, and let's go to Atlanta, Georgia, Little Big Mouth, listening to us on WDUN. Hi, Little Big Mouth.

How are you? I'm uh never better, Todd. Never better. I would just like to talk about the power of prayer. And how the big guy, though, truly wonderful big guy answers prayers.

which I know were you were doing, I was doing, millions of people were doing. And he delivered he delivered not only the ice cream Sunday, which was the win. But he threw some cherries and sprinkles And Syrup and more stuff on top of this Sunday. I think like this. First, the vote was over in less than ten hours.

Then We got the popular vote. Then We flip the cent. And then my favorite. is We're going to have a Patriot in the White House on America's 250th birthday. I am so thrilled.

Isn't that exciting? Yes, you know, that's a huge part of it, is that this will be the 250th birthday of America. It's going to happen during Trump's administration. And I shuddered to imagine what that would look like with the Democrats. But you better believe it's going to be the best celebration in the history of the Republic.

Yes, sir. And there might be one more coming. We'll see what happens in the house.

Well, we crossed prayers, more prayers, but But that would be. Wow, the ice cream's done the plus five with four ingredients.

Well, I'll say this, Little Big Mouth. They're trying to steal the Senate seat away from Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania right now, and that's looking really ugly. Also, Cary Lake, and that is going to be a ⁇ you know, in Arizona, the longer it takes to count these ballots, the worse it is for the Republicans because these Democrats are looking for the votes they need to win. And so we still have Senate races out in Arizona, in Nevada, and of course, well, now they're saying Pennsylvania, they're walking that back. They originally called it yesterday for McCormick.

So we'll see how all that plays out. But I'm telling you, it is looking good for Republicans to control everything. Little Big Mouth, thanks for calling in. Let's go to Richard in Georgia. Hi, Richard.

What's on your mind? Hey. Whoa, let's put Richard on hold here. I think we have a bad connection. Richard, we'll try to get that worked out and.

Get you back on. In the meantime, I want to play some audio. This is from. CNN. And it's not like they're having some sort of moment of self-reflection, but they are.

Philip Raines is an old school Democrat, worked in Bill Clinton's administration. He was one of his strategists. And here's what he had to say about the current state of affairs in the Democrat Party. Cut number seven, please. Here's the problem: I'm not concerned right now what the right thinks about.

The Democratic Party. I'm concerned about what I think about the Democratic Party. I don't like to echo the congressmen, all three of them. I don't like the fact that a small portion of our party is pretty much dictating where we are. That they are pretty much, we are being branded as the most extreme of us.

It is not only politically problematic, as we just saw, because none of this stuff helped. the other day. Without a doubt, it's a problem. But we need to take stock of why we are being held hostage to the far left. No one should be and wants to be.

Kowtowing to the extremes of their own parties. That just shouldn't, to the extent that majority should rule, the majority of Democrats don't agree with the things that we are being tagged with.

Now, how that is. Take care a couple of those things. I think Democrats believe in common sense stuff more than you realize. I mean, it's not like any of us sit at home and don't talk to anyone. Most Democrats I know think there's a huge problem at the border.

Most Democrats I know think, frankly, that. Males at birth shouldn't play in women's sports, and vice versa.

Now, You can have a healthy conversation within a party, and you have to have a room within a party for all this. But at the end of the day, if you have some of these issues that are 80-20 across the country, You really got to figure out why. They're being so tagged with one. And on one hand, it's easy because it's politically sexy. There's a reason why $40 million in ads on this topic were thrown at the vice president.

Bye. How we go forward from here, first it comes from us. Yes, we have to listen to everybody, but people, again, the Republicans don't get to tell us because they won, like you said, for the first time in 20 years, and only the second time in 36 years, the popular vote, what everybody wants. This is still a 50-50 country. for us to go forward.

And be representative of the Democratic Party, all whatever tens of millions, half a million, you know, half the country, whatever you want to, however, you want to describe it. we have to reorient it towards and You know, the congressman made the point that he's up until today afraid to say it. And God knows what'll happen on my Twitter when I get home. But it starts with that kind of thing. Yeah, that afraid to say it.

Yeah. Do you think that that Really fundamentally tells the story of why Democrats were broadly rejected here? I mean, insert whatever issue into that rubric, afraid to say things about the border, about trans rights, about some of these other cultural things.

Well, I mean, the border is not fair, because the border is a wicked problem with legitimate differences of opinion, and frankly, no one's had a particularly good. answer to it, and I don't think Donald Trump and his second tar is going to have a good one. on the other cultural stuff. And I don't even know how to refer to it without Saying something again, I'm afraid to say something wrong, but The woke stuff, the PC police stuff. You'll see Republicans who say they're afraid to say X.

I'm afraid to say X. These congressmen are afraid to say X. Why?

Well why are you afraid to say X? Look, it's a great question. And again, it shows you how far to the left. I mean, these people are nowhere near close to the president that Bill Clinton was as a Democrat back in the 1990s. Not at all.

I'm not talking about modern-day Bill Clinton wandering around Champaca with Hillary in the woods. I'm not talking about, I'm talking about back in the 1990s when Bill Clinton, there was still some connectivity between Republicans and Democrats.

Now, there's just none whatsoever. And he's absolutely right here. What we are looking at, and there's, look, you cannot reason with these people. And here's the reason why. And I hate to break this to Mr.

Rains, but the problem is that the party is controlled by radical progressive women, and they are doing all of this based on sheer emotion. That's it. Feelings. You can't reason with that. You just can't.

So I appreciate where he's at right now, but this is why the Democrat Party lost and they lost big, and they're going to continue to lose big. Because the AOCs of the party are now the norm. Those are the people they are electing. When you look at Memphis, Tennessee, for example. We have radical progressives that control all city.

elected positions right now. Radicals. That's the future of the Democrat Party. Let's go to Richard in Georgia. I think we got that phone situation worked in.

Hey, Richard, what's going on? Hey, Todd, is my connection better today? Perfect.

Sounds great. Hey, listen, I just wanted to share with you an epiphany I had with my adult son while he's twenty-nine. We were having an adult beverage the other day, and we were talking about how great this win was for the country. And it came to realize The best thing that happened and I think God had a hand in it, was that Trump lost. three years ago.

It really gave The popular vote. to the people. They had three years to see what the Democratic Party really was about. And I don't think we'd be in this position if we were just wrapping up a second term of Trump. I think we'd be in significantly worse of shape It's a thing.

So uh And there goes poor Richard's phone line again. But I think we got the gist of it. And Richard thinks this may have been the better thing to happen to Trump is that he was not re-elected, that he came back and the country got to see, okay, let's put radicals in charge. But you know who the biggest loser here in all of this is? It's Barack Obama.

That man is now irrelevant. Isn't that not remarkable? To see him up there and he was screaming and carrying on and complaining and chewing out black men. Barack Obama's lost his touch. And the problem with Obama.

Is that this is who he really is? He's really not all that smart. You know, he comes across that way. But ultimately, Barack Obama sounded smart because he had really good speech writers and he knew how to perform. He knew how to deliver a good speech.

But this guy, he wasn't coming up with all of this stuff. This is why he was a professional community organizer. That was his full-time job. Barack Obama is now irrelevant. And that's the issue that the party is going to have to come to terms with now is how do they figure out next steps.

I think we're looking at a very successful four-year Trump administration, followed by eight years of a J.D. Vance presidency. And to Richard's point, Do you really think that Mike Pence ever had a shot at being a president? I don't think so. I don't think so at all.

All right, hang tight, folks. Got to take a quick break. Open line Friday, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

This hike. It's non-picnic. Treacherous terrain takes a whole day. Sure, some crummy old mountains that are fishing for two weeks since just swell.

Well, you don't have to go. The world is not gonna give them a break. I'm sure. There she is. Mountain Todd.

We're gonna hike then? Sure. We're almost men now. God, slow down. You want us to be men?

Then let us be men. We don't need you. We're going to the top. We need to stick together! I can't break!

Where's your brother? There's a hundred thousand acres of road in the south there.

So damn. Focused. I'm trying to make him tough. I forgot to be his dad. I just saw it.

We get one more chance. We need volunteers. As many as you can send. Hey! I'm over here!

Do you think our son is dead? I always told him, when things get tough. Press on. Your brother. He's really stubborn.

Press one. All right, brand new movie from Sylvester Stallone in theaters. It debuted November the 1st. It's called, again, and by the way, the website addressed for Lost on a Mountain in Maine. That's lost on a Mountain in MaineMovie.com is the website.

That's Lostonamountaininmaine Movie.com. If you'd like information on the movie, on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today, we're honored to have the director of this incredible film, Andrew Budu Keitlinger. And Andrew, what an honor to have you with us today. Thanks for having me. All right.

So let's talk about this movie because it's actually based on a true story. It is, yeah, yeah. 1939, a 12-year-old boy in northern Maine gets lost in the vast, vast wilderness. And over nine days, he crosses over eighty miles and uh Yeah. And it's uh it's unbelievable but true.

What was this experience like for you? And first of all, how did you find out about this story?

Well, you know, I'd never heard of it until it came across my desk. And it came from Sylvester Stallone's company, and they had incubated it and developed it. And obviously, Stallone is kind of known as the OG underdog, right? It's Rocky. And he's his whole life journeys to make movies about people persevering.

And he never made one from a kid's perspective before.

So I came on board through a classic interview process, and what really attracted me to the story was. It's the simplicity of its themes. It's about community, it's about family, it's about trying for the human spirit, and it's about faith. And movies don't really explore those themes that much anymore.

So it felt imperative for me to make it and to put it out into the world.

So you've had a pretty long and storied career in filmmaking, and it all started at at Boston University. What was that experience like for you there? It's funny. I'm actually sitting right at BU right now. Not just screened this movie.

Boston is its own special sauce. It's a town that's surrounded by academia and all this stuff. And yeah, I learned a lot. I learned a lot about how the world works. Um I traveled a lot while I was there.

And it allowed me to kind of come back and in those travels, realize, well, the things that really matter in the end are family. Um and your community. I also grew up in South Dakota. I also grew up in Africa and I've seen I've seen a lot of things and in the end, when things get tough, your family is is what's most important to you. And so that's, again, why this movie felt like something I had to do.

Yeah, because you're and and if I and correct me if I'm wrong here, but you're the son of missionaries, is that right? I am, yeah. My parents were Lutheran missionaries in Madagascar for thirty years, and I lived there till I was twelve, so it was a pretty huge chunk of my life. And yeah, and it informed a lot about just the way I see the world. And especially the way I incorporate faith in the topic of Faith into my projects.

You know, I'm not a. This isn't a faith based film per se, but it's a movie that is very ecumenical that's thinking about faith and the idea of like the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is very much a big part of the story.

So how did you how did you get to that point, though? You're coming off of the mission field. You're at Boston University, and I have to imagine trying to figure out what kind of films do you want to make with your life? That's the age-old question, I think, for any artist, like, what kind of ar art are you going to make? And I think because You know, the I think that we live in a very noisy world.

And I think movies often tend to be quite cynical, even the ones for family these days. I find that sometimes Marvel movies can be very cynical and snarky. And I just wanted. I realized early on I wanted to make movies that we don't really see much anymore. that have a um You know, if you if you remember, you know, The Black Stallion or Homeward Bound or even Old Yeller, these are films that taught us very basic things about living.

and the hardships of life and the hope that also exists in life. And we just haven't seen a movie like that in a long time. The PG-rated. Live action family adventure. And so I think in in my career I just wanted to make movies that were aspirational.

I think this is awesome. And I remember as a kid, you know, back in the day, Disney was churning up those kinds of films. You know, I remember going, the whole family going to see Swiss Family Robinson back. And, you know, I love those kinds of movies. And it sounds like this is going to be something very similar.

And I can't wait to see this. That's exactly right. This is the type of movie that Disney just doesn't make anymore. You know, and it's. And it's a gift that it's getting released in theaters because it's meant to be.

It's a very. Rugged and wild movie, and it's it's very lush. that should be seen in a dark in a dark you know, in a dark room with amazing sounds. I love it.

Now, d where did you did you guys film this in Maine?

So we did both. We filmed a lot of it in upstate New York just because. Tax and boring stuff, tax incentives, all that. Yeah, but there is a lot of main in it. You know, we We uh we went and we hiked the titular mountain with equipment.

and filmed up in a real storm to really get the authenticity of that event. We also built the mountain. We didn't pick kids up there to actually film the kids in the storm. We built an 80-foot By eighty foot by eighty foot replica of the peak of the mountain on a soundstage.

So the movie is a combination of like just old school movie magic. And the real deal. We went up there with helicopters and shot all over Northern Maine as well.

So it's definitely very Maine focused. And I think the people in Maine who've seen it thus far, it's very successful there, obviously. Um, they really love it and they feel like it's their own.

Well, I know we have a lot of listeners in Maine, WLOB, our great affiliate. By the way, Andrew, LOB, the station nickname is the Big Lobster. That's very clever. I love it.

I love it.

But a lot of I've been up there, and you're right, it's just absolutely the scenery is just breathtaking. Folks. You gotta go see this movie, Lost on a Mountain in MainMovie.com. We have a link directly on our live show blog, so you can go check it out for yourself. Andrew, congratulations on this wonderful film, and we look forward to seeing many, many more in the coming years.

Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. All right. Andrew Keitlinger, ladies and gentlemen, the director of the brand new movie Lost on a Mountain in Maine. This is based on a true story, and some of you in Maine might actually remember this story.

For nine days, this little boy, a 12-year-old boy, got separated from his family and got lost in the wilderness. And for nine days, he had no food, no proper clothing, had no idea the kind of danger he was in. And the national media went bonkers with this story, and there was a massive search effort.

So, anyway, you got to go check out this film. 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. Open line Friday. We'll be right back, America.

All right, tonight, Senator Tommy Tuberville joins me on Newsmax TV, the Todd Stern Show. You can watch at 5 o'clock Eastern. Also, we're going to be doing a deep dive into what's going on with the Senate majority race.

Now, here's what you need to know: the establishment, they are pushing either Senator John Thune or Senator John Cornyn out of Texas. Thun is from South Dakota, and both of them are never Trump guys. As a matter of fact, here is Thune talking yesterday and telling Donald Trump to stay out of Senate leadership elections. Cut number 12, please. Is President elect Trump involved?

Does he have a chosen? Preference in the Senate? Do you know? Senator, and and will that come into play?

Well, I don't know that he does. I stay in regular contact with him and with his team. And, you know, obviously, if he wants to, he could exert a considerable amount of influence on that. But honestly, I think my preference would be, and I think it's probably in his best interest, to stay out of that. These Senate secret ballot elections are probably best left to senators, and he's got to work with all of us when it's all said and done.

But whatever he decides to do, that's going to be his prerogative, as we know. And we're going to have that election next Wednesday, and we'll have a new leader. All right. Um here's Senator Thune. A few years ago, talking about Donald Trump and whether or not he should actually be the nominee, cut number 11.

If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, would you support him? Yeah. Well, I'm hoping Leanne have other options. All right, there you go.

So this guy is an ever-Trumper. Look, here's the deal. We can't have another Mitch McConnell. We can't have another Paul Ryan. And I'm talking about Mike Johnson as well.

And I'm just hoping that Mike Johnson misspoke when he talked about comprehensive immigration reform. But we all know what happens when Republicans start using that phrase. It usually means that more illegals are coming into the country. That's what that means. We can't go down this path again.

And I know that Trump knows that. And I'm proud to see Don Jr. standing up and saying, hey, look, Rick Scott is really the only choice here. And he really is. We've had Senator Scott on the national show many, many times over the years.

He's a good, solid conservative, and he's going to defend the Trump agenda. And that's what we need. We need someone in leadership in the House and the Senate that will take Donald Trump's plan, his America first plan, and implement that plan. We don't need people back biting, backstabbing. We need somebody that's going to be able to go in there and fight for and deliver the Trump agenda.

And it's not going to be Jon Thune and it's not going to be John Cornyn. Rick Scott is the guy. And I hope you're going to be contacting your senators because your senators will be voting on this and let them know where you stand on this. But I'm telling you right now, this is going to be problematic. If Jon Thune gets in, we're going to have another Mitch McConnell problem on our hands.

That's all there is to that.

So, we're going to be talking more about that tonight with Senator Tubberville. Again, that's 5 o'clock. on Newsmax. All right. This is great.

This audio you're about to hear.

So again, all of these people wanting to pack up and leave the country, right? They promised that's what they were going to do, right?

Well, apparently, this guy is actually the Hollywood celebs always talk the big talk, but they never leave. Wish they would, but they don't. Anyway, this guy is actually doing it. He's not a celebrity yet, but he's on the TikTok. And here's what he had to say: Cut 14.

Okay, so since Trump won the election, we're cooked up. Um, I'm gonna be leaving the US and I'm gonna be moving to Hawaii.

So we'll see how it goes and I'll update you guys. Dylan, Dylan, you're shaking your head. Why are you shaking your head, Dylan? Might have been the most idiotic statement I've ever heard in my life. He doesn't know that Hawaii is still in the U.S.

What a guy. Yeah. You gotta love it, folks. I'm telling you, they're not the brightest bulbs. Oh, here's a gal, and she has an idea about how do you figure out.

I think she's part of the 4B movement there, the B-52s. That's a band, the B-Force. Anyway, she's got a solution here. Here's what she says we need to be doing. Cut six, please.

Okay, so what I'm hearing is there's a blue bracelet. that we need to wear. because I want to make sure. that nobody ever thinks that I am one of. The apparently Majority of white women.

Who voted? for Donald Trump. Yeah. So, I don't know what it is with the left, but they always love like forcing people to wear things that would identify them. Remember, I think that happened back in the 1930s in Germany, too, right?

Where you had to wear a certain color. To designate who you are. Jeez a lou. And here is Stephen Smith. He was.

On uh Hannity. Last night. It was a fascinating interview. And Howard Stern says the country just wasn't ready to elect a female president. Cut number one, please.

Tell her, what do men say about us, Behind? Of course, first of all, yeah. Say it to yourself. I don't hide, so no worries there. Here's the deal: I respectfully disagree with Howard Stern, only from the standpoint that I wish he had been more specific.

Why don't you say white men? Because let me tell you something about black men. We love our mamas. I know that. We love, we love.

And we revere black women. And when we're trifling, we know it's us, it's not them. You understand?

So, when he's saying that, okay, well, then let's talk about white men. We have a white power structure that still exists in this country today. I understand the white populace in this country was over 85% at one time, it's now dipped to about 57.4%. The white power structure is still in place.

So, when we talk about misogyny, when we talk about chauvinism, when we talk about women not necessarily being empowered, well, who's in a position of power to surrender some of that power? It's white men.

So, I think that when Howard Stern was talking, I can't speak to what white men are thinking. I can tell you this much: black men, we revere. women. We don't have any problem. Looking at a woman as a leader.

Yeah, I again, I don't think white guys do either. I have no problem casting a vote. As a matter of fact, the number two vote-getter in the Republican primaries was a woman. Nikki Haley.

So that's not the issue here. The issue is not whether or not the country is ready to elect a female president. I think the country is ready to elect a female president. They're just not willing to elect a stupid female president. President.

And that's what we had here. Everybody was clued in on who Kamala Harris really was. And the fact she would say one thing to the Muslims, another thing to the Jews. She would say she was for fracking, then against fracking. And so at the end of the day, the American people, they're look, they're not as dumb as the mainstream media thinks they are.

And we're able to see through a lot of this stuff, people do pay attention. And at the end of the day, they decided: you know what, this woman, she is not qualified for the job. She needs to go back home and do whatever she was doing with Little Ducky. That's all. And it has nothing to do with racism or sexism or Nazism.

And by the way, again, you had Joe Biden coming out yesterday, and he's. Celebrating and congratulating President Trump. Why is he doing that? If he really did believe that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, which is what they were trying to convince the American people of, if that's the case, why would you be celebrating that? Why would you not be condemning the man?

if in fact that's what you really believed. Or maybe it's just all a great big steaming pile of hooey. And that's what it was, ladies and gentlemen, hooey. But the great news is Donald J. Trump is our President elect.

He is about to usher in the golden era. In the United States of America. Can't wait. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a great, great day. Thank you so much for your calls.

Thank you for listening to the program. 5 o'clock on Newsmax. We will see you then. I want to thank our great team here in Memphis, Tennessee. And whatever you do, folks, be sure to go to church this weekend.
