clinging deplorable American. That's uh That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starns. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starns radio program. What an honor to have you with us. Here today, busy News Day. By the way, some good news.

And actually, this is really terrific news. Later today, President Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will begin the process of dismantling the Department of Education. And we're going to be talking more about that. We understand the President's signing of the executive order. could actually take place during the show.

And if that happens, we will take you directly to the Oval Office for that historic moment. And I've I've been pretty clear And All of my writings and the books I've written. The this radio program, and even to a large extent on our Newsmax TV show, that the most pressing issue of the day. Is not in Washington, D.C. The most pressing issue of the day is what's happening in your local taxpayer-funded public schools.

That ultimately, this radicalization that's happening in our culture, when you look at the Far left whack jobs. That have taken over the Democrat Party. This is all a product of this radicalization of the education system.

Now, it was a couple of years ago, and this was when AOC first came onto the scene, and she was causing all sorts of mayhem. And I told you at the time to pay very close attention because AOC was going to pale in comparison to some of the far lefties coming up after her. And sure enough, we have certainly seen that. And we'll get to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in just a minute. I guess we could call her a she-thug or a thugette.

Or at least a wannabe fugette. But there is if you think things are crazy now, you just wait for a couple of more election cycles when the average Democrat is going to be somebody that looks like an AOC, an Ilhan Omar, a Rashida Talib, or a Jasmine Crockett. Or Iana Presley. These are some very woke, dangerous people. And so look, many people and when you saw this in the Presidential election, it really was a remarkable moment because the average American basically woke up one day and decided, holy cow, what's happened to my country?

And that's really what drove people to the ballot box. This radicalization. the critical race theory that is meant to divide this nation along racial lines, the alphabet activist and these these gender ideology studies, there is some freaky stuff going down. And the point of that, by the way, and ultimately is a complete and utter breakdown of the American family. You see, they don't want.

The government doesn't want a strong mom and a strong dad in the household. They want single parent homes. They want moms that are just popping out babies to get checks from the government. They want every family in America reliant on a handout of some sort from the federal government. And the reason why is because once you've got them hooked, they can't come off the plantation.

Yeah. Once you are shackled to that government teat. There is nothing you can do. Your American dream, it's over. It's just over.

And so when you look at what's happening in our public school system, where they're teaching kids that America is not an exceptional place, that America is the cause of all the problems in the world, And then you're graduating people like Rashida Talib and AOC and Jasmine Crockett out of the education system. You get some very dangerous people who are on a mission to dismantle this country. That problem, by the way, and I hate to break it to you, but that problem is going to get worse, which is why it is the most important thing. If Donald Trump could only do one thing, He has got to dismantle the Department of Education, and he's got to give control of the schools back to the local communities. That is the only way to save this country.

The only way. We have got to put a stop to the radicalization that's taking place in these classrooms. And hear me on this. Our friends at Libs of TikTok, they've done a tremendous job, a tremendous job of exposing all of this. The things that are happening, the radicalization, the indoctrination, the propaganda that's filling our classrooms.

And they've done a wonderful job of exposing this. But now you have to do something about it. If there is a teacher in a local school that's doing that, you need to be at your school board. You need to be addressing this. You need to be demanding that those teachers be removed from the classrooms.

We've all got skin in this. If you pay taxes, you're supporting your local education system. It's really that simple. And that's really the deviousness of this plot. They're using your tax dollars against you, ladies and gentlemen.

This is unacceptable. Just unacceptable.

So the president Delivering on a major campaign promise. And by the way. I'm just going to, let me ask you a question here for a second. Let's get real. All right.

Let's just say Let's just say you buy a car. You know, Ben Dieter just bought a car. It's a nice car. See him driving around town. Got that uh He's got the seats laid back, and he's driving at the big steering wheel.

And I see it bouncing up and down at the. Oh, that wasn't you, Dieter. Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, it's a nice car. Very nice.

Bulletproof, I believe. Windows.

So imagine you bought a car. And that car was driving along pretty good. But then, maybe a thousand miles, you got on the car, brand new car, and your car stops working. What do you do? Do you take it in to get it fixed?

Of course, you do. What happens if it breaks down again?

Well, you take it back again, you get a little frustrated. What happens if it's a third time, fourth time, fifth time, sixth time?

Sooner or later, you're going to be demanding your money back, right? Why are we doing that with our nation's education system? When you look at the education stats, and we have And over 70% of kids in many of these urban districts are not even reading. By the way, that's not just a failure of the school system, that's a failure of you as a parent. Mom's dad, hear me on this.

If your child, if your child can't read and write before they walk into that classroom, you have failed your responsibility as a parent. It is your job, mom and dad, to educate your child. Your job. But what's happened?

Well, moms and dads get lazy. They got the taxpayer-funded schools. Just ship your kids off. Mom and dad, you got more important things to do, right?

Now, when I was growing up, and hear me on this. And I challenge my listeners. I'm 57 years old.

So I grew up in the 70s and 80s. That was sort of my childhood. It sort of most of it was in the 70s, but then to the mid-80s when I graduated high school. And this may have just been me, and if it is, but I don't think it is.

So that's why I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.

So a lot of families We all lived in nice little neighborhoods. But by today's standards, they would be very small houses. Right? It was mom and dad. We lived in a beautiful area of a place called South Haven, Mississippi.

And we had a little three-bedroom. Home, and we had a garage and Dad turned the garage into like a den. And it was a very nice, we had a backyard. And I think everybody pretty much had a small home like that. Dad went to work, mom stayed home.

And we got by. My dad was an electrician. Blue collar worker.

Now, in the nineties, and into the two thousands, everybody was going to work. moms and dads. And it's not because they had to, it's because They wanted to. And what happened? Everybody was buying these m mansions.

Normally, back when I was growing up, there was only a small section of town where all the rich people lived. And they had the huge, beautiful mansions. And you would go at Christmas time and you would drive by and they had these elaborate displays. You say, Tom, where are you going with all this? Bear with me, ladies and gentlemen.

But there was not everybody. I mean, it was like a tiny percentage, a tiny percentage of the people lived in these huge mansions.

Nowadays, Everybody lives in a mansion. And I suspect not everybody needs to live in a mansion. I suspect also that not everybody can afford to live in a mansion, but everybody wants to live in a mansion. And that's why Both dad and mom have to go to work.

Now back up until I would say the 80s By and large, in this country, most kids grew up with a mom and a dad in the household. Divorce was a rare thing. Nobody was living large, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. But At that time, the most important thing was not having $100,000 in the bank. The most important thing was making sure your kids didn't grow up to be the spawn of Satan.

And by and large, society was pretty darn good back then. I really do. I think it was. I feel blessed to be able to grow up at a time. Where you could run around with your friends outside.

Everybody looked out for everybody else's kids. You screwed up, you knew that there's going to be a penalty for that. But you respected your parents. You respected your elders. You spoke when spoken to, and otherwise you just kept your mouth shut.

Miss those days. But all that to say, Moms and dads abdicated A large amount of their responsibility to the government because they had more important, more pressing things to do. I remember back in the 90s, there were conversations about this in the church I attended.

Well, people were really concerned about sports on Sundays and soccer, which was not a big thing at that time. And people were concerned because they found out that soccer practice and soccer matches were on Sundays. And they were afraid that that might interfere with church on Sundays. And everybody sort of laughed and dismissed it. And now you take a look at some of these big mega churches, a lot of empty seats because people are doing other things now on their Sundays.

They're not going to church. Yeah. So, what I'm trying to say here is a lot of this breakdown that we're seeing. Yeah, it's the fault of the education system, but a lot of it is on us. We have really nobody to blame but ourselves for all of this.

But hear me. If we don't do what President Trump is about to do this afternoon, he is going to catch holy you-know-what from the teachers' unions. Those people, hear me on this. Those teachers, the teachers' union, they're domestic terrorists, and they're holding our kids hostage. And in doing so, they're holding the country hostage.

But if we don't do anything, we will lose the Republic. I mean, it's really that simple. Trump realizes he doesn't have that much time, he doesn't have a lot of time. This is it.

So, I'm excited about this. We don't know what it's going to look like, and I want you to, again, hear me on this. They're not going to be able to completely abolish the Department of Education yet. We'll need 60 votes in the U.S. Senate to make that happen.

Sixty votes. But what Trump can do is dismantle as much of it as possible, and that's what we're going to have to do. And he's going to need our help on this. We are going to have to push our Republican lawmakers across the finishing line on this one. And it is going to be a fight.

But, ladies and gentlemen, this. Is uh it is a fight. Worth fighting. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926.

So they were voting to censure him today, and here's what that sounded like. It's adoption of House Resolution 189. The House has resolved that Representative Al Green be censured. That Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure. And that Representative Al Green be censured with public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

What are they singing? Yeah. He brings my father to God.

Okay. The House has come to order. The House will come to order. Yeah, the Democrat's a little pitchy there. That's pitchy with a P, ladies and gentlemen.

In case you. Misheard me. Look, so 10 Democrats joined Republicans voting to censure Congressman Green. You know, I. Had a chance to go back and think about this, and he's an old dude, he's in his 70s.

Waving around that cane with the pointy thing. I'm surprised the Secret Service practiced discretion because that could have been a weapon. And honestly, I thought the guy, when you go back and watch it, it looked like Al Green was about to try and storm the podium where the president was delivering his remarks.

So, anyway, they were singing We Shall Overcome as they voted to censure Mr. Green. You can't make it up. You can't. All right, coming up, I've got some inside intel on Congress, Congress, babe, Jasmine Crockett.

You're going to want to stick around for this. It's a hoot. A hoot, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Tot Stars Radio Show. A generation of children in El Salvador are lost to malnutrition, and the only way to a better future is through a school feeding program.

Uh This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, and honored to have you with us today. Let's go to the phone lines: 901-260-5926. George is listening to us in Gainesville, Georgia. Hi, George. What's on your mind?

Hello, Mr. Todds. We love you, buddy. I listen to you almost every day. Thank you.

I have a real well, we're in WDU and land, of course.

So Anyway, when the Democrats were singing the great Negro spiritual We Shall Overcome, The Republicans started should have started singing the great Michael Jackson. Spiritual. Beat it, beat it. Goldio lets itself and beat it. That balling gun.

There you go. I love that. It's a fine spiritual.

Well, either way, you got it. George. All right, George, thank you for the call. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Now, I know that our friends that listen to us in St. Louis on the Real Talk Radio Network are going to love this story because there is a St. Louis component here. There is a congresswoman, you've seen her on the TV, and her name is Jasmine Crockett, and she's a Democrat from Texas. And she's sort of like this election season's AOC.

And she's making all of these. These controversial videos, she has got a filthy mouth. This one has a filthy mouth. Anyway, she's making outlandish statements, causing all sorts of disruptions. Here she is talking about President Trump trying to bring back slavery.

And as they have decided to go after immigrants and these and things like that, and they've said, oh, they're taking your black jobs. They're taking your black jobs. Not really. They are obviously jobs that they want us to go back to, such as work in the fields, all right? Those immigrants that come into our country, they work the fields, something that we ain't done in a long time, and clearly he is trying to make us go back to the fields.

So that was quite a charged statement that Jasmine Crockett just made. She said that President Trump wants to send all the black folk back to the fields to pick cotton.

So Ladies and gentlemen, we dabble in truth here. We do deep dives into truth and fact-checking.

So we sent Ben Dieter down to the Mississippi Delta. And Ben just got back. And Ben, I just am curious. I know you had a chance to see the beautiful, the white rows of cotton, just snowy white as far as the eye can see. Did you see any slaves down there?

No. They they do have a nice cotton factory downtown. Don't get me in trouble. Don't cancel me. It's an actual thing.

It's right by my apartment. It's the fabric of our lives. Yeah. No spotting of a Jasmine Crockett out in the fields.

So nobody was looking. Nobody out there singing spirituals. The only spirituals I'm hearing are in the halls of Congress right now. All right. Yeah.

So I just wanted to make sure because Jasmine Crockett says that Trump is, and by the way, she's in her, what is, she's close to 40, I think. I think she's like 43.

Okay. So she's a millennial, and most of her generation is as woke as the day is long. And they actually truly believe that slavery was still commonplace in America leading up into the turn of the 21st century.

Well, they think that racism is still alive, that the same Slavery that definitely plagued the history of this country. I think everybody would agree with that, is still alive and well. And it shows. in rare, unexpected ways in the form of what they would deem systemic racism.

So all of this gets back to the country is systemically racist, and that is why she's speaking out against it.

So here's what I appreciate about Jasmine Crockett's story originally. You know, I love anybody who can, like, you know, pick themselves up by the bootstraps. And, you know, you grew up in extreme poverty. Poverty, you grew up in the projects, you were. Having to walk past the pimps and the hoes on your way to public school, and you have to dodge the bullets, and the gangs, and the gangsters, and all of that.

So, and you're able to escape from that and become a member of Congress. It's remarkable. It's an American dream. She is living the American dream. God love you, ma'am.

But it turns out that's not the truth. Wait, she didn't grow up in the projects? No, no, no. She didn't have to pass by Pimps and Hoes on the way to school. She did not.

And the reason I p why aren't you saying hoe, you racist monster? Why? Because she called President Trump Putin's hoe yesterday. And she wasn't talking about a gardening utensil, which you can get from Dan West Gardening.

So it turns out, we did a little deep dive. She grew up in St. Louis, Jasmine did. And it turned out she grew up in a very affluent home. Her daddy was a preacher.

You know, they've got to be ashamed. The mouth on her. I know she didn't learn that at home. The prodigal son or daughter can always return home. We're waiting for her to return home, but she's still a prodigal.

So hold on, it gets better. Because when you hear her She's a pastor's kid. But when you hear her, it sounds like she came out of Idleno She wants you to think she's a street thug, right? That's what she wants you to think. And that's when you look at the videos.

As a matter of fact, there's that, what is that thing? Is that Cardi B does that thing with the tongue? You got eh, eh? You know what I'm talking about? Unfortunately, that was a great job, John.

Thank you. Well, I practiced.

So she was actually doing that in a video. And her, look, black Americans are mocking her on socials. And they're like, what is she doing here? She's acting like she's at a club and she's doing the eh, eh in the halls of freaking Congress. What is wrong with it?

And the way she's talking all ghetto is what I mean, she's talking like a rap artist. Mm-hmm. She wants to be she is claiming to be the voice of oppressed Americans. She is the voice of the oppressed. Exactly.

But is she oppressed? That's the question.

So that's the question.

So we did a deep dive. She grew up in an affluent home, the daughter of a pastor. She attended an exclusive day school in St. Louis, and the tuition is nearly $35,000 a year. That's oppression right there.

Then she drank her sorry butt down the Mississippi River to Memphis to do her undergraduate studies at Rhodes College, which business. It's not a community college, and we love community college. $55,000 a year tuition. Mm-hmm. So, my question is, and by the way, I had a chance to look at some of her earlier videos before this election cycle.

She is a very well educated, very well spoken woman. You would not recognize the person that's on the TV screens right now trying to make you feel like she's an oppressed woman. She's very oppressive. She's literally cosplaying a gangsta. And I don't know why.

I don't know why the I don't know why the Democrats allow that to happen. Yeah, it's embarrassing. Mm-hmm. Imagine if our side tried that. I mean, President Trump, what he had a taco on Cinco de Mayo and they almost crucified the guy.

For cosplaying is, I don't know, a guy that likes a Mexican burrito. Remember when Mitt Rodney? You weren't here. I had to cover this election cycle. When Mitt Rodney came down south and he tried to pretend he was cosplaying to be a southerner.

Mm-hmm. Hello, I'm Willard Romney. And I would like a biscuit, please. And may I have a side of grit? You want to sign a what?

A grit, please? I don't want multiple grits, just one grit, please. What you talking about? You want what? It that doesn't work.

He did. He said he wanted a grit. No. Singular? Singular.

He didn't put the plural on there. No, he just wanted. Yeah, I guess he's got to watch his waistline. He's got to watch his figure. Let's stick with the Calabari men.

You know? How about a Coke? Oh, no. I rebuke you in the name of.

Well, they worry about. He's a Mormon. He can't drink Coke.

So the question is. Yeah. Who is Jasmine Crockett? We don't know. Is she jasmine out in the streets?

Because she wants to be in the streets. Remember Kamala Harris? Like, when she was trying to talk to the black community, she's like, I am in the streets. I wonder if she picks it. I wonder if Jasmine Crockett cooks her college greens in the bathtub too.

That's the ultimate bonafide.

So is it Jasmine of the Hood or Jasmine of the Ivy Leagues? I mean, which one is it? Or can you be both? It just seems to me she's disingenuous. She's a fake.

She's a phony. She's a fraud. Mm-hmm. That's it. That's it.

All right. Got to take a break. This is the Todd Starn show. Folks, I got to tell you, eggs, they're still a little pricey out there, and it's going to take some time for those to come down. We explained that earlier this week on the show.

The reality is it's a mess. The economy is a mess, and it's going to take some time for Trump to work all this out. And then, again, the trickle down, the egg prices will come down. What I'm saying is that you need to start taking actions now to protect your savings, to protect your retirement fund. And if it's all in a 401k, you've got big problems.

Your retirement plan is in jeopardy. That's just the cold, hard facts.

So the good news is you can do something about it. And that's why my friends at Priority Gold are big, big fans of the Todd Starns program. They want to give you a free wealth protection guide, a step-by-step plan to fortify your savings, diversify your savings and retirement with gold. There is no cost, no obligation. Just text the word Todd to $200.

That's Todd to 24999. Or go to prioritygold.com to get your free gold guide today. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

So, coming up in the next hour, we're going to play our crack team here. We have found Jasmine Crockett before she was oppressed, what she sounded like, and now post-oppression.

So, we're going to let you decide for yourself for the next hour of the show. Welcome back. Great to have you with us. I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Honored to have Senator Tommy Tubberville with us.

Senator, first of all, thank you for joining us. And, second of all, the blowback that the Democrats are getting from what happened Tuesday night, I think the president broke the entire party. Yeah, they don't have a party anymore. I don't even know they don't know what they stand for, Todd. First thanks for having me on, but it's been a disaster for them ever since November the fifth.

really for the last four years because they've they've self imploded. But it's I've gone and And tried to overcome November the 5th. They just made it worse and worse. But it's their personality. It's what they stand for or not stand for.

And it's. The type of people that they are. There has got to be some good Democrats across this country, but these people up here. They've lost their mind and they're self-imploding every day, and they continue to stick their foot in their mouth.

Well, no doubt about that. And I couldn't help but, you know, just it was just Jaw-dropping to watch all the women in pink, the Democrat women in pink. We call them the Pepto-Bismol caucus on this program. And here, those many of those women are the same ones who stood against biological girls in that incredible legislation that you tried to introduce. Yes, I can't imagine any woman ever voting for any of these people up here again.

Especially the women that voted against women and their opportunity to be involved in sports, the little girls and And uh obviously uh girls that are in college and professional. It just absolutely amazes me just to watch it. You know, I came from the sports world. And you know, moms for years and years and years have been very supportive and You know, push their girls to do better. And now that they've been given the opportunity through Title IX, you've got a bunch of feminist groups that used to be all for women.

They have absolutely lost their mind. And I had my bill on the floor, and you saw it earlier this week for the third time. In four years. the same Democratic women and men have voted against the future of girls and women in sports. It just It makes no sense, and they're trying to cover it up by wearing pink.

And oh, yeah, we're all for women. They are absolutely the biggest liars in the world. Senator, I'm just wondering if I mean, do the senators, do they really feel that way? Or do you think they're being held hostage by these radical alphabet activist groups out there?

Well, I think that's a good point because there are groups behind the scenes that are saying you can't do this, you can't do that. But you know, you think about it, Todd, if you're the leader over there, if you're Chuck Schumer. And they're getting hammered over this for the last three or four years. And by the way, President Trump told me this. He said, the last three months, you know, we put $50, $60, $70 million into TV ads about this one thing.

He said his numbers went way up. And it was, you know, 80% of the people in this country believe that women should be able to participate in the sports without biological boys or men. And so at the end of the day, Chuck Schumer should have gone up and had lunch Monday before my vote and said, listen. We got to get this behind us because it is killing us.

So, you that are running for election. In the next two years, vote for the same. Let's get it over. Let's don't give them a selling point that we're crazy over here. They have no leadership.

They have nobody that will stand up against these crazies that are behind the scenes, supposedly giving money. But it's their supposedly voting base, and we saw that voting base November the fifth. It was nowhere to be found. Senator Tommy Tubberville from the great state of Alabama with us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today. And Senator, curious, we're expecting President Trump later today to sign the executive order beginning the dismantling of the Department of Education.

First of all, do you think that's a good thing? Is that the right call to make? 100%. I've been in education, Todd. That was for what, over 40 years.

And I was in high school, I was in college, I taught classes.

Now I've seen the destruction of our of our Of our country through the unions. There's no way that we should let unionize teachers and administrators because it's all about them now. It's not about the students. We've taken the students out of the equation and just, okay, it's about teachers making more money and it's about More days off, and it's about what we can teach. But if you look at the count, I got out of coaching about seven years ago, so.

But I could tell you back then the number of teachers has really dropped. You have probably Uh, 60% now administrators that are up there, you know, making all these decisions, but they're not in the classroom teaching. We've got to get more money for classroom teachers that are going to teach math, English, history, civics. The things that we were taught when we were in school, we don't have that anymore. But again, it's all about unions.

We need to do away with the Department of Education up here. And again, the money, you're not going to be able to do away with all of it because it's got to go through Congress. But what they can do is they can streamline it. Lyndon McMahon can run a small part up here, send the money that is up here. That is wasted on people sitting around and not doing anything and send it back to the states.

Let's teach our kids to read and write. We're 38th in the world now. What the hell is going on? Trevor Burrus, Jr.: It's a great question, Senator. And again, I want to be clear.

You know, we talked about this earlier. You got here in Memphis, Tennessee, for example, over 70% of the kids can't read at grade level. That's unacceptable. That means that it is a complete failure of not just the education system, but quite frankly, mommy and daddy, too, because that's where this all starts. Oh yeah, inner cities are gone.

We've lost inner cities because of I had drugs. These radical mayors are putting more emphasis on climate change and And things like that, instead of, hey, we're going to go to class and we're going to teach these kids. And if you don't teach them, and they can't pass a sixth grade reading test by the time that they're in the sixth grade, We're going to find more teachers. I mean, nobody's held accountable anymore. It'd say, oh, we got tenure.

You can't run us off. Tenure is the biggest failure in our country in terms of education. You should be held accountable for merit and what you do. You know, when I was coaching, if I didn't win, they fired me. Yeah.

They should do the same thing with coaches and administrators and schools. All this, these schools are just absolutely going to heck in a handbasket.

So, so, real quick before I let you go, Senator, just how it all works, your protocol-wise. President Trump just can't shut it down and shutter it today. That has to go through Congress. Is that right? That's right.

It's got to be voted. And the Democrats aren't going to vote for it because they're their voters, they're union. Uh, people and again, we've got we've got a lot of good teachers, we've got a lot of good administrators, but they're held hostage. By these so-called unions that wanted all their way and again cut back on the time in the classroom and And again, they put the curriculum together. It's a mess, Todd.

It is. All right. Well, we're going to be paying close attention. We'll see how all this shapes up. Senator, always good having you on the show.

You too. Thank you. God bless. All right. God bless you.

There you go, Senator Tommy Tubberville. And we'll see how all this plays out, ladies and gentlemen. This is going to be very painful for the Democrats because the teachers' unions are about to lose a lot of power.

So. Question is, should the Department of Education be abolished? Do you want to see local control restored? Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

We're raising $20,000 for our friends at Food for the Poor, and we need your help. We're just getting cranked up, but you guys are doing a great job. Want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say hello to Tiffany Justice, the founder of Moms for Liberty.

Tiffany, hope you're doing well today. I'm doing great, Todd. I'm in New York right now. It's a little chilly, but having a great week hearing that the Department of Education will finally be abolished and we can dismantle, as President Trump said, the con job that is the DOE. That has to be an exciting thing for you and for your organization.

I mean, you guys have been at the forefront of exposing a lot of the horrible ideology that's been fed to our kids. Yes, it's been shocking really to see what's in the schools. You would hear about certain things happening in certain places, right? And then all of a sudden, when you start talking to thousands and thousands of moms, we have over one hundred thirty thousand members across the country, you saw these patterns. Uh Toxic ideology, this toxic teaching meant to divide our children based on race, based on religion, to drive a wedge between the parent and the child, and really a very, very intentional.

effort to destabilize the child. And it's just been amazing to have a champion in the White House like President Trump, who loves and respects parents, and then to have Linda McMahon, a really smart businesswoman Someone who got into education, like I did, honestly, as a mom and a grandmother, someone who was concerned about the schools in Greenwich. And wanted to get involved. And so it's just been a really wonderful since the inauguration, since President Trump has been elected, just one win after another for Pearl. And here is President Trump.

Let's take a listen. Cut ten. And one other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, DC, and sending all education and education, working needs back to the states. We want them to run the education of our children because they'll do a much better job of it. You can't do worse.

We spend more money per pupil by three times than any other nation, and yet we're absolutely at the bottom. We're one of the worst.

So you can't do worse. We're going to end education coming out of Washington, D.C. We're going to close it up, all those buildings all over the place, and you have people that in many cases hate our children. We're going to send it all back to the States. All right, there you heard him, Tiffany.

Again, the president this afternoon is going to be delivering on a campaign promise he made last year. Yeah, so people shouldn't worry. We still have 50 other departments of education, right? All of the states have a department of education there. And what you're going to see is some states are going to thrive.

You're going to see great progress happening in states where they're getting back to basics. A good friend, Cain Brumley, is the head of education in Louisiana, and he launched a new program called Let Teachers Teach. go figure, right? And getting back to the basic student schools is going to mean better achievement for kids. And so Washington doesn't need to be involved in education.

We need to, as President Trump said, close up those buildings.

So many employees. And educational achievement for kids has never been worse. We saw the NAITE scores. It's called the Nation's Report Card. And the worst in thirty years, only twenty five percent of kids in eighth grade reading in grade bubble across the United States of America.

And I've spoken with President Trump about this and was very honest and said, sir, this is One of the biggest national security threats that we have, a nation of citizens that can't read. And so, really, going to empower our states, but ultimately, Todd, empower parents. Parents need to be in the driver's seat when it comes to their education. The problem is a lot of parents aren't, and they don't want to be. You know, they're just, you know, we'll let the government handle it.

Well, and you know, that's a culture that's been created as the schools have done more and more to usurp the parents, right? I mean, there needs to be kids' lunch.

Okay, well, then we use kids' breakfast, and now there's a uniform closet. And, you know, it just, I mean, the list of things that schools have taken on responsibility for has grown and grown and grown. And, you know, it's just human nature that the more someone else is going to do for you, the less you're going to do for yourself. And so we need to change the culture around parenthood, around family, around education. And I'm really confident that this is a really great first step.

I also think by creating more choice, you know, I really believe in education freedom, by really empowering parents to make the choices for their children, not feeling like they're just destined to be in a failing school because of their zip code, it'll mean that more parents are going to get involved and be aware and be informed of the decisions that they can make for their kids. Tiffany Justice, the founder of Moms for Liberty on our Patriot mobile newsmaker line today. And Tiffany, what is that going to look like practically?

So we abolish or dismantle the Department of Education. Uh if the the control returns back to the states or the local communities. Yeah. Well, ultimately, it's a school board. You have a local school board.

It's an elected school board all over the United States of America and school districts. It's very unique. Canada has somewhat of a similar program, but nowhere really else in the world do you have locally elected officials that answer to their constituents. That is the best situation. If you have a problem happening with your child in school, you need to be able to go right to those decision makers, make them aware of it so they can make a change happen.

So ultimately, the power needs to lie with that local school board.

Now, there are certain things that happen at the state level. Oftentimes, the standards are set by the state. You know, we've had Common Core. Common Core is awful, but there are many states, including Florida, that have created a new standard. You can think of standards as a roadmap for what the children need to be taught in any given year.

And then there's curriculum. And, you know, states that have oftentimes an approved curriculum list that school districts can choose from. School districts can oftentimes also choose their own curriculum. And parents can be involved. In that.

School districts have lots of different processes so that parents can have their voice heard about curriculum. And ultimately, that's one of the most important things, right? What are your kids going to learn and how are they going to learn it?

So I really just implore parents to get involved. Go to your school district, go to your school board, and get on one of these curriculum review committees so you can actually see the textbooks that are being used. You know, I'm sure we made a lot of news in Florida when I was on school board and then after by reviewing a lot of this curriculum, we saw a lot of the toxic ideology. And to Ron DeSantis' credit, many years, they went to the curriculum manufacturers and they said, take it out. We're not going to buy this from you if you have this toxic ideology and you sneak in these generative themes about gender ideology, about CRT.

And the curriculum manufacturers took that material out of those books so that they could sell the books in Florida. And so change really can happen. It's just about taking a stance. And again, it seems to me the bigger issue right now is the transgender ideology and the impact that's having on girls all over the country. I know a lot of parents are finally starting to speak out, but people are just terrified, I think, of waking up the human rights campaign, a lot of these radical LGBT organizations.

Yeah, I mean, let's be clear. LGB, sexual orientation, T, mental distress. These are people who need care and compassion. They need mental help. There's no such thing as transgender.

It's not a thing. There are men and there are women. And then the Q part is something called clear theory. It's a political ideology that has no limiting principle. This is how you go from calling out pedophilia and people that are targeting children and then they want us to call it something called minor attractive people.

No, we're not going to do that, right? And so transgender ideology is very scary. They want to teach kids starting in fifth grade that they could be a boy or a girl or maybe neither, that somehow God made a mistake. And that they were born in the wrong body. You know, I'm so proud of President Trump at the address that he said, you know, that.

Every child is perfect just the way that God made them. And that's the message that needs to be said to kids. And so parents need to be aware of what their children are being taught in school. And when they don't like it, they need to have their voices heard. And there are many parents who are doing amazing work all over America getting this nasty ideology out of school.

All right. Well, Tiffany, we really appreciate the great work you and the ladies are doing over at Moms for Liberty. I know there are some dads involved as well, but what a great organization. And congratulations. I don't think we'd be doing what's about to happen today had it not been for the Moms for Liberty.

Well, thank you, Todd. And I just want to tell you, I just joined the Heritage Foundation as a visiting fellow to lead a parental rights initiative across the country. It's going to help groups like Moms for Liberty and others to have a shared understanding about what's happening, what kind of legislation they can get passed in their state, and we're going to really get the momentum behind this parental rights movement. All right, Tiffany Justice, ladies and gentlemen, on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Live.

Okay. All right. It's going to be exciting this afternoon, and we'll try to bring that to you live if that happens during our show today. Dater, I've got a bone to pick with you. I was downstairs and I was like, you know.

I could go for another cup of coffee. I've been drinking the you know, I made the switch to wire to fish coffee a couple of weeks ago, and I was going to go downstairs, pour myself a big old cup of coffee. There's no coffee pot. Where is the coffee pot, Dieter? Here's the problem I've got.

You know, it's a coffee pot, so you pour it, you can't just put a straw in there and drink from the coffee pot. You've got to pour it in a cup and then save some for the rest of us. News to me. Because I needed a ton of caffeine. It's been a long day.

And I thought about it. I saw the mugs, the ceramic mugs, sitting there. And I just thought, I'm just gonna go for the whole pot.

So I'm I'll share. Maybe if I'll make some more, Todd. There's plenty of coffee. The Wired to Fish coffee people have sent you a lot. We got a lot of coffee down there.

I think we're going to turn one of our rooms into a roaster. Uh No, it's incredible. It really is great coffee, and we're so excited to be partnering with them. A Wired to Fish coffee. Let me tell you something.

These people are conservative, but that's not why I'm drinking their coffee. These people are Christian. That's not why I'm drinking their coffee. I'm drinking their coffee because not only are they conservative and Christian, it's a freaking delicious cup of coffee. That's why.

And they also had these really cool chocolate espresso ball things, candies. Holy cow! I was eating those things like crack cocaine. I may have accidentally snorted one. I wouldn't advise you to do that.

You got to go check them out, folks. Wired to Fish Coffee. I love these people. They are also conservationists. You know, they're big anglers.

They love fishing. And they realized one day, hey, wait a second, we got to do something here. We're supposed to be stewards of God's beautiful creation, and we got to start cleaning up some of these rivers and creeks and ponds. And they're doing that.

So they're taking literally 25% of the profits they make from the coffee company and they're giving it back to faith-based ministries to fish conservation initiatives. I love that. And you're going to love the coffee too. And I am a coffee snob. You guys know that.

That's just who I am. I want you to go and check out this coffee. And I understand many of you have already, they are literally overwhelmed with our listeners calling in and ordering the coffee. You can go to their website address. I want to give this to you, and it's a little weird, a little quirky, but write this down.

I just wanted to give my thought of the day. I personally think he Trump will not get this totally dismantled, but I bet he will dissect it to the point. It's going to be Close to it. That's just my thought. Yeah, that's Mark from the villages using our shout-out function over on the app.

If you'd like to get that, by the way, I go to toddstearns.com and click on the app button. No, Mark, I think it's absolutely right. And Trump is going to whittle it down to where it is so marginalized, which is what we've got to do. But we've just got to take back control of our schools. Real quick, welcome back to the show.

I've got to give a quick shout-out here. And Ben Dieter, this is our official first big day promoting our Food for the Poor campaign. And I am just, we have such a generous audience. Last year, we exceeded the mark, and I think we're going to do well this year. Our goal is $20,000.

And already we've got Cindy from Orange Beach down in Alabama, $52. God bless you, Cindy. Love that. Leanne from right here in Memphis, Tennessee, KWAM country, $100. Huge.

That's pretty awesome. And we've got even a donor from Chicago. And I hope I'm pronouncing your name correctly. correctly, um Osbaldo, three hundred dollars. That is going to feed Osbaldo right now.

Your donation will feed a child, three children, for an entire year.

So we're going to keep reading off some of these names as the donations begin to pour in. And you say, Todd, how could I donate? Very simple. Go to the top of the page, click on that blue banner at the very top of ToddSterns.com, and you'll be able to make a donation. I love that.

All right. Um Ben, I got to get your take on this. This is such a disgusting story. It's from Oklahoma. A Warika High School.

And this is apparently a very small community. And the high school has a psychology class, and the students were assigned to. finishes or complete a survey. And the survey included a number of sexually explicit uh questions and it's pretty horrifying.

Now Some of the questions that we're dealing with here, I'm going to do my best to try to read some of these, Dieter, but it's pretty disgusting. First of all, they're asking the kids. If these are odd or unusual behaviors, for example, as I'm reading here. Um Having rape fantasies. They're asking teenagers this in a high school psychology cl class.

Watching X-rated movies several times a week. Is this normal? That's what they're asking because the kids have to go down. There are 20, or sorry, 30 questions, 30 questions on this survey. There are others, and I'm not sure if I should Should say some of this.

We have a dump button. Um Have you engaged in sex with animals? Why are you asking a child this? Why do we need to know why do you, teacher, need to know that information? Do you derive sexual pleasure from seeing or touching dead bodies.

What is wrong with you? Do you like being urinated on? No, no, I don't. I don't know about anybody else on this staff, but I'm that's a hard no for me. Actually.

Do you become? Oh my God. Have you read number 30? You got to read number thirty. Don't read it out loud.

No, I don't It says, Do you get aroused by viewing or touching? Stop, stop, stop.

Okay. Easy. I'm taking over the show. Who? What's going on here?

Well, I think the answer is no. I don't think I'm one of the people getting the survey, but no to all of the above. And as insane as it is, and I'm sure Todd, some people are like slapping the radio. Like, what is Todd? If it's going to these students at this high school in Oklahoma, I think we can discuss it because this is in our kids' classrooms.

This is appalling. The school district says this came from approved state curriculum. Yeah. So now the state superintendent, our good buddy Ryan Walters, is launching an investigation. Here's the thing: first and foremost, I blame the teacher.

The teacher should have read this and known there's no way this is appropriate for even grown adults, much less high school kids. Um, Todd, did you see question number fifteen? Why are they talking about fruit? Leave the fruit alone. Apples, oranges, papayas?

That has no place to the in the bedroom. Take your perverted hands off our kumquats, you freak! Or what? Come quats. It's a fruit.

All right, hang tight, folks. 901-260-5926. We're going to your phone call. Coming up next. Got a text message from one of our listeners in Memphis on KWAM, and they're not very happy with that last segment, Ben Teeter.

And apparently, she sent me one of these emojis. I'm still somewhat emoji illiterate, but I think this is one where the emoji is eating a salad, that there's a lot of green. No, Todd. No, Todd. Let's have a discussion about your illiteracy with the mouth open and not eating a salad.

Well, they're not shoving lettuce in the. That's what it looks like. They're throwing up.

So the emoji is puking. It's having a visceral response to what you said, Todd. Oh, wow. It sure is that. Do you need to apologize?

That's not celery after all. Nope. Nope. Wow, my apology. Vicky writes a gross.

Some of us are eating lunch. Yeah. I apologize. You know, I, but again. Can you imagine being a child and you're in a high school psychology class and you're having to fill out this questionnaire right before lunchtime?

Yeah, and I thought it was uncomfortable. When your school taught you biology back in the seventh grade, remember that? I want to go back to the one about the fruit. Um or other She's eating her salad, Todd. I know.

Tread carefully. Hold, hold on here. Which one was that? I can't. What question?

There's 30 of them, and it's question number 15. Yeah, playing with food during, you know what? Sex. Yeah. Well, Mama always said don't eat a pet.

Right. Yeah, I mean Yeah, I guess I I mean yeah. Don't eat in bed. Just don't eat in bed. Don't eat in bed.

No. No, just put away the Doritos. You know what I hate about this survey, the 30 questions. Is what it is planting in the minds of these kids. Like when I was getting my biology lesson when they taught, which your parents probably should teach you about the birds and the bees, it's always a little bit unsettling when the school has to do.

And I understand sex education and all that stuff. But like, I remember when they taught us like the biology of how babies are made. Everybody remembers that class. Hopefully, probably the storks, yes. What?

The storks. That's not how I was shot. Bring the baby to you. But like, it was very just scientific. It was like XY chromosome meets other chromosomes and boom, baby.

This, when you're planning these fantasies in the minds of these high schoolers, what's the end goal here? Is the end goal for them to explore? Their sexuality?

Well, I think the last education commissioner of the Department of Education under Biden absolutely was pushing this on all of these classrooms. It's actually okay to embrace your wild side. And in this case, I guess papaya is in bed. I mean, it's insane. The superintendent, Ryan Walters, says this is completely unacceptable.

We will hold those adults who push this on our kids accountable. I just think they need to be in jail. I think this crosses a line into criminal activity.

Well, I mean, if your kid is walking down the sidewalk and some dude walks up to your daughter, high school age and says I don't know one of these. Pick one of the questions. On a strawberry. Yeah. They would be taken to the jail, and they would be, they would be, they're a perv.

And that's unacceptable coming from your teacher. You raise an interesting point, though, that this plants ideas and seeds into the minds of hormonally charged and crazed teenagers. And that is dangerous. Very. The school district says, oopsie, oopsie, the content of this form was inappropriate for students and should never have been dispersed.

Okay, it's not appropriate for adults. Geez a loop. They say the curriculum was removed from the class. All parents were notified. But they also said that this was taken from approved psychology curriculum.

Of course, it's psychology, and no offense to psych majors out there, but like there's something there. I'm sorry. And furthermore, why is the teacher that handed out the survey not being removed along with the curriculum? I don't care if the curriculum needs to go, obviously, that hopefully isn't controversial. But the teacher The put it in the kids Curriculum and the people, the teacher, they need to be taken out alongside of the book.

I can't even imagine somebody in Gainesville or Cleveland, Georgia. I know that area very well. Ullajay, Georgia. You're sitting there and your kid comes home from school with that. That would not end well.

I'm just saying. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Let's go to Portland, Maine. Scott hanging out with us today. Hey, Scott, what's on your mind? Hey, how are you? Oh yeah, I m I miss you guys on WLOB, but I'm missing on another radio station.

Well, good for you. Yeah. At any rate, I am I would say yes to doing away with the National Education Association, a complete worthless government infringement upon the rights of teachers And students, and bring it back to the state level. where they can at least Have the controls. And you know, parents and teachers would be able to actually have a discussion more so than what's happening today with all the nonsense.

It's incredible. It really is, Scott. And again, you'd look at the waste, and I know we've been seeing that in Memphis with the local school district here, where they have billions of dollars of our tax money and they've got nothing to show for it. And I just want to know what is all this money being used for? Because it's certainly not being used on teachers or the kids.

Absolutely. Hey, I just wanted to bring up another thing. I was the one that called you months ago about the Chinese in Nationals that had marijuana pot plants growing in the state of Maine illegally were still. We're still dealing with this. Wow.

It's incredible. Our governor, Janet Mills, needs to go to prison. This woman is horrible, and she's the one that stood up to Trump. You know, President Trump, if you remember. With the transgender anthleage, we broke that story a couple of weeks ago on the show.

It's just outrageous that she is doubling down against the President's executive order, standing with the trans kids. I'm telling you, it's the worst thing that's ever happened to the state of Maine, and it's shameful. And here I am as a conservative, and I'm in I'm literally living in South Portland in the sea of of all these other liberals who all voted for Janet Mills and Biden, and I had my Trump signs out there, by golly, and they vandalized a bunch of people vandalized nine of my signs and destroyed some others. And I actually made my own and I put them up there and I actually wrote, how dare you do this? I value your constitutional right to voice your opinion, but you obviously don't value mine.

That's a lot to write on a sign. Yeah, I mean, I don't blame you one bit. I'd be upset too.

Well, look, Scott, it is great hearing from you, and don't be a stranger. And we love and miss all of our great friends over in Maine. And who knows? We may be back on in Maine WLOB sooner rather than later. And by the way, we're excited.

Now's a good time as any been to announce that for our Houston listeners, we're going to be going live in Houston, Texas, 11-2, in about two weeks. That's going to be exciting. Means you can phone in. We'll get all of those Houston, Texas callers calling into the program.

So we're just excited and we're honored. You know what I would have? I don't understand the people who like to tear down other people's signs. I don't get that. But if it's your property, you should decorate your sign with, I don't know, razor blades, glass.

Gorilla Glue. Electrifying. You know, you've seen there's some guy, there's a video where some guy actually electrified his signs, and you had a bunch of Yahoos try to come and take the sign, and they got shocked. It was very entertaining, actually. All right, let's go to the phone lines.

I guess you're not very entertained. It's all right. Drinking my pot of coffee.

Now wire to fish coffee. I got to get a pot I got to get a my own pot of that. Let's go to Sue in Iowa, wants to weigh in on that survey. Sue, can you believe what they're teaching the kids? I cannot.

I think that's outrageous. But what I find so odd is I graduated in 1984. And they were passing out surveys like that in our school when we were. Probably sophomores. Ninth grade, something like that.

And it was more or less about drugs then. And um But you know, they just are going to find out anything because my friends and I, anyway, we would do things just for stock value.

So, if the question was like, you know, do you have horrible thoughts about doing whatever? We're like, oh, yeah, every day, you know? We just they aren't going to get a clear consensus on anything. No, it's Sue, I'm with you. I mean, I was when I look back on my high school experience, I thought, man, we must have been sheltered because we had sex ed.

You know, I graduated in 85.

So you and I are pretty, you know, we're about the same age here. I just don't remember having the kinds of conversations that the kids are getting these days.

Well, you know what my mom said for sex education? My sex ed talk was. He'll get you pregnant and then he'll leave you. That is exactly word for word what she said. Wow, that's brilliant.

Sounds like it was a pretty effective sex talk, Sue. Yes, yes, I I I knew everything then after that.

So, my grandparents, this is a funny story, Sue, way back in the day, my grandparents decided to elope. My grandpa was the ice delivery guy, so as a teenager, and so, but whenever he would come to my grandmother's house to deliver the ice for the refrigerator, these big old blocks of ice, there were some days that the ice didn't quite make it to the refrigerator during those visits. And so, anyway, they decided to elope. And my grandparents, I guess they got hitched and they snuck off and they had their little honeymoon, I guess, somewhere in North Carolina, wherever they snuck off to. But anyway, there was a knock on the door before they could even get up out of bed.

There was my great-grandfather with a shotgun in hand saying, Son, you made your bed, now you got to lie in it. Oh my lord. And they lived happily ever after. That's wonderful.

So there is sometimes a little frank conversation, Sue, to your mom's point, really does work better than all the lessons in the world. That's true. Ben, did Father Dieter have that conversation with you? Yeah, I asked some really intriguing questions to my parents and they were trying to answer them in the best way that they could. And finally, my mom, because I asked it to my mom and she was like, you're going to get a burger with your dad tonight.

So it happened at a burger joint and I learned all I needed to know. And I'm glad that I did. I got the talk when I was like nine because I had 20 questions at a very young age and they kept it appropriate. And what I appreciate is that when I did get the talk from the school, right? Sex education, I already kind of had my parents instructing me on all of that.

I didn't need to rely on a teacher that did not know me and really had no place talking about those things with me and my peers in the school. Ahead of time, if that makes sense. I think it should be reserved to parents, and then maybe it could be left to a biology lesson. After that. Right, exactly.

They're going to need to know a little bit more than what my mom said, but. The schools don't need to be asking you about it. The Book of Life. It's a Time Life series. Oh, my God.

Okay. It came with illustrations. I had questions.

Well, then I would have questions. Sue, thank you for this very uncomfortable conversation. Oh, you've had any time. I listen to you every day. I put my phone on and put on K-Wham, and I just.

listen to you because I just I love the show. I love what you stand for.

Well, thank you so much for that, Sue. Don't be a stranger. Give us a holler back. We love all of our friends out there in the beautiful Hawkeye state there.

So geez, hello. All right, 901-260-5926. You know, I do wonder, though, a lot of parents have that way, right? They've got a specific way of sitting down and having. The conversation.

The talk. The talk. Birds and the beast. I want to hear. You know, there's got to be somebody with some pretty funny stories about that.

So we're going to get into that story in the next hour. Oh, by the way, do we have the Jasmine Crockett audio I sent you earlier?

So, Ben Dater, I wanted to, sometimes people just don't believe us. You know, that, well, that old Starnes, he's a racist guy. No, we come armed with the truth on this program.

So, this is Jasmine Crockett before she went ghetto. Absolutely. First of all, it's good to see you in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now it looks like a little bit over a year ago. that I would be running for Congress.

It's just not what my plan was. But what I've always decided is that I would step up when there was a need. Listen, he's out there, he's doing all kinds of nonsense. Let me just be real. We ain't gonna sit for that.

We wouldn't, you know. But when she called me and said, I think it's time for me to retire, and you're the one that I believe should take my seat. I really was kind of caught off guard. I didn't anticipate that. If anyone knows anything about the Congresswoman, they know.

We showed up. And if he had some sense, then maybe we would have been about that life. But y'all know he ain't got no sense.

So please give some love. This took a little bit of coordinating to do for sure. We got some cool shirts. You know, the congressional seat is over four times as large as my house seat. And I was just starting to get into the rhythm of doing constituent services and things like that.

We got Madam Williams, who just happens to have the honorary seat. It's not even honorary because she's holding it down, y'all. But the legend himself, John Lewis, that is the seat in which she currently serves.

So she honored his legacy. This is the message that she wanted to send today. All right. So there you have it. It's like before and after.

I have a whiplash. I'm confused. Those are two different people. What's yeah, what happened? What happened where she transformed herself?

You know, there was a guy in Memphis, Justin Pearson, who did that, right? He actually talked whiter than I talk. And then he went away to college. That's hard to believe. Hold up, hold up.

I mean, that's, I don't know, Todd. You're doing well today, but no, you talk pretty white. My name is Justin Pearson, and I'm running for the presidency of the Bowdoin College Student Government Association.

So he went to Bowdoin, which is a hoity-toity school in Maine, and then he comes back, and he was like wearing his suit. He had a nice haircut. And the next thing you know, he comes back, he's wearing like African garb, a power throw, and he's talking like I'm a low Malcolm X. How did that happen? By the way, Dylan, do you have that little clip?

This is what it reminds me of. This is who she reminds me of. Jasmine Crockett, I think she started a Medea movie. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna go.

He was a trifling ass for body. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. That's where that reminds me of. Thank you very much, dog. Point proving.

Yeah. Yeah, like she sounds like a A Glorilla, a backup dancer. Glorilla is a big rapper in Memphis, or one of these. I don't know. It's a bad look.

You're not Nikki Minaj. You're a congresswoman. Exactly. So start acting like one, ma'am. And in the meantime, we're going to be rattling off some new names of donors to our Food for the Poor campaign.

In the break, head over. Make a donation. Click on that blue banner at the very top of the page. We're feeding a lot of hungry kids today, folks, and you're the reason why. Thank you for all the great work you're doing.

We'll be right back. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. Yeah. That's right. I love this American ride.

Stars. Oh, heck yeah, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starns Radio Show, hour three underway, and what an honor to have you with us. Woo! Mercy me.

It is such a nice day in Memphis. I hope it's pleasant where you are, but our weather this time of year, one day it's sleeting, and the next day it's 80 degrees.

So it's just sort of up and down, and we're just holding on for dear life.

So, anyway, we're having a great day, and I hope you are as well. All right, we are waiting to hear from President Trump, and when that happens, we will certainly bring that to you. The President is The President is expected to sign an executive order abolishing the Department of Education. Also getting some reports out of Pensacola.

So you folks down there on the Gulf Coast, the Gulf of America, Listen up, but apparently the naval air station down there has been placed on lockdown. We'll keep you updated on that. And police say no signs of an active shooter. That was the initial report. But again, everything on lockdown.

All personnel directed to take cover, and police are still sweeping the buildings. But this could be a false alarm. They're at Corey Station, pardon me, Corey Station in Pensacola. That's where the naval air station is. I want you to write down our telephone number.

You will need this if you want to call in this hour of the program, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Now, This is pretty cool.

So our team here at the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Put together, they had an idea, and the team just did a terrific job of this. When President Trump announced that the Gulf of Mexico was going to be renamed the Gulf of America. We thought, you know what? Wouldn't it be cool if we did like a cool postcard style, you know, sticker that was sort of like retro 50s?

You know what I'm talking about. If you vacation anywhere like in Florida, there's that cool graphic and the fonts. And so, anyway, our team has put that together and they just arrived. And it's pretty awesome looking. Those of you that are watching us on our social media platforms on Rumble, YouTube, and Facebook Live, I'm holding this up so you can see it, but it's a beautiful, beautiful picture of the Gulf of America.

And it's got that incredible font saying Gulf of America in red, white, and blue with a beautiful palm tree and the beautiful blue Gulf of America waters. Oh, it's just awesome.

So here's what we're going to do. We are raising money right now for a group called Food for the Poor. We are partnering together with Larry Elder and Hugh Hewitt, and we are raising $20,000.

So, again, we'll be reading out some of the names a little bit later on in the show, but go right now to tomstearns.com and click on that blue banner at the top of the page. All right, we got to talk about what's happening with um with the US Navy.

So Roger Wicker is the chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee. And, Dylan, did I send you this audio?

Okay, I sent you this audio. I could have remembered it was early on in the show and I forgot about it.

So, this is insane. But this. There was a hearing for the new Secretary of the Navy. And ladies and gentlemen, you are going to be astonished, astonished by what you're about to hear. The Biden administration, we knew That they were in the process of dropping standards in the military, but by how.

How low they went, it's unreal. Let's take a listen to Senator Wicker from Mississippi. The previous administration paid too much attention to demographic traits, which contributed to the Navy's. Failure to meet its recruiting goals. The Navy did eventually meet last year's recruiting targets, but only by lowering standards.

Last year, nearly twenty percent of the Navy recruits were considered category four. They tested below the 30th percentile on the military aptitude test, below the 30th percentile. Recruiting has improved significantly over the last few months, but the Navy must keep up this recruiting pace for the next three years to fill the estimated. twenty thousand vacancies on our ships today. There you have it, folks.

They hired a drag queen to recruit people to join the Navy.

So, we did a little bit of digging here, and I want to share some additional information for you. This was all part of the military's campaign to invite the LGBT community to become a part of the military. They. involved an active duty drag queen to be a digital ambassador. And according to the military at the time, and this is from the reporting of the New York Post.

They wanted to, and I'm going to do my best to try to frame this correctly. At the US Navy, we're attracting the most talented and diverse workforce. All right, let's go to let's go to sea, boys. Ooh, mercy. Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelly, who identifies as non binary, was appointed as the first of five Navy digital ambassadors in a pilot program that ran from October to March.

Kelly's stage name is Harpy Daniels.

Okay. Harpy Daniels shared his journey on TikTok and Instagram, where he described how they began performing on board and became an advocate for people who were oppressed for years in the service. Can we just stop here for just a moment?

So they were having drag shows. On board. These ships mister Kelly writing from twenty sixteen or from joining to twenty sixteen and being able to share my drag experience on my off time with my fail fellow sailors has been a blessing. Harpy Daniels has over 8,000 followers on the social media platforms. And then he writes this: Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity.

I don't speak for the Navy, but simply sharing my experience in the Navy. Hooiah, let's go slay. What is that? Do the sailors actually say that when they're off to war? Let's go slay, or is that something the drag queen says?

Do we know? Where's Dieter? Dater fact-check us on that place. I don't think yet. Hooyah, yeah, the military says that, but let's go slay.

Is that something that the military says? Or is that something that the drag queen community says? How do they pronounce it? What's the enunciation? What's the letters?

Are we S-L-A-Y? Not like sleigh ride, like, you know, or like the serpent. I think it's a sleigh, like S-L-A-Y.

So that's a drag. I think that's drag. Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity. I don't speak for the Navy, but simply sharing my experience in the Navy. Hoo-yah!

Let's go sleigh. I don't think the Navy sailors say that before they bomb somebody to smithereens. All right, men, let's go slay.

Well, okay, that'd be Anyway. The digital ambassador program. That Kelly took part in ran from October to March and was designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates. The Navy apparently battling the most challenging recruiting environment it's faced since the start of the all-volunteer force. That's insanity.

So I'm just curious. I mean, any Navy veterans out there, why is it that guys aren't joining up in the military? Certainly, it appears the Dranqueen community is attracted to the sailing community. At large? I'm trying not to say something here.

Keep me in the straight and arrow, Dieter. Careful, Todd. Um Harpy Daniels, Yeoman Harpy Daniels. Is that the stage name or is that the actual dude's name? No, his name is Kelly, Mr.

Kelly is his name. But he goes by Harpy.

So Yeoman Harpy began dressing in drag and performing in shows long before joining the Navy. No. In 2018, he performed as Harpy. You know why I'm hesitating here, folks? It's not because I can't read.

It's that they're writing this using gender-neutral pronouns. And it's all, so I'm doing this in real time. Do not try this. Look, many talk show hosts would not be able to do what I just did. They would stumble.

Yeah. Or they just use the inaccurate pronouns. That's right. We don't do that here. No.

Yeah. Harpy said that He performed in a crew morale-boosting lip-sync competition while on deployment on the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, girls. Good golly. Ronald Reagan's turning over in his grave.

Well Really, the USS Ronald Reagan. Come on, man. Ugh. Harpy says, Yeoman Harpy, for myself, drag has been a passion and art and a way to express myself. Ship life is difficult.

Every day fades into one, and high stress and intensity can bring low morale and can cause suicide and bad behavior. Mm.

Well, nobody wants that if you're manning the big guns. I'm just saying. Yeah, high stress is no excuse for high heels.

So, this is where, and I want to get a little serious here if we can for just a moment. And I want to let's again, we're talking about seamen here, seaman, seamen, S-E-A, sailors. We're talking about sailors. Mm-mm. Harpy said that his performance on Ronald Reagan helped save someone's life.

This person was gay and felt lost and alone. Really? Yeah. In the Navy.

Okay. Ready to jump ship.

So this guy is telling us That he saved someone jumped the ship the plank. I just don't believe that. Because he was gay? Yeah. So this would have happened within the past couple of years, which is just ludicrous.

Yeah. Yeah. He said, that person personally thanked me and said they forgot what life was like for a moment. That's a struggle we all deal with.

So ladies and gentlemen, this kind of garbage right here is what Secretary Pete Hagseth is having to root out. This is not a military that can fight wars. This is what a social justice force looks like.

So all that to say. The Secretary of the Defense has a massive job ahead of him. And look, I'm not, no, I'm not anti-Drag Queen. I just don't believe that A warship Is the place for a drag show or a drag bar for that matter? No.

No, because the whole time we've been discussing the one thing that hasn't been brought up is military preparedness. What does this have to do with blowing things up and killing the enemy? That's what I want to know. Slay. Pardon me, slaying the enemy.

All right, there we go.

So that's it. Coming up, we are. Ben, I got to get your take on this. Hamilton the Musical. And it's they're causing this causing chaos in D.C.

We're going to tell you all about that. We've got to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Don't forget, head over to ToddSterns.com, click on our donate button.

Some disruption in the radio signals. That is something that is entirely out of our control. We understand there is something going on with the sun and maybe sunspots. Dylan, if I'm getting way off base here, I don't know a lot of the technical jargon, but it should be what whatever happens should be wrapped up in a couple of days.

So just bear with us.

So it might be a little scratchy every now and again. That's all. Just put on some Tropicana. Just hang out with us. Let's go to Tennessee.

Carl is listening to us on KWAM. And Carl, I know you want to talk about this Navy story. I just don't get it, Carl. I really don't get it. Why do we need these drag queens on these ships?

We don't, we don't, we don't. Carl, appreciate that call there. And again, let's go to Don in South Carolina. Don, what's on your mind? I was on the USS Long Beach for four years.

And let me tell you. there's no way you could exist as a drag point because The Navy's manner of operation is teamwork. and you work twenty four hours a day and you sleep in bunks For a high. And you have no time for that. And it's cramped quarters, and everybody has to work as an intricate.

part of a machine. You know, Don, here's the And Don, here's the thing. I don't have a problem with drag queens. You guys want to, if you want to do that, great. There's called there are bars you can go to.

I don't need that happening on a ship that's being paid for by my tax dollars. If you're in the Navy, if you're in the Air Force, Marines, Army, Coast Guard, you're there to protect our country and to protect our freedom. You want to go to a drag show? You can do that when you have leave. It really is that simple.

All right, got to take a break here. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-266. 260-5926. Don't forget to head over.

We'll be right back. So there's a lot of angst in conservative circles, those of you watching the Supreme Court and the comings and goings, and there's a lot of concern about Amy Coney Barrett. The CNN, CNN, by the way, their Supreme Court analyst actually penned an essay titled The Last Best Hope for Supreme Court Liberals, Amy Coney Barrett. And She was certainly a darling of conservatives when she was nominated originally by President Trump. But since those early days, things have not exactly turned out the way we all thought that they would.

She is no longer a rock-solid conservative. As a matter of fact, in many cases, she's actually become a centrist or a moderate and has sided with the liberals on the Supreme Court. Big problem. A big problem.

Now, people are now wondering what's going on. People feel duped. They feel like that Amy Coney Barrett is maybe a wolf in sheep's clothing. A lot of people are trying to analyze the body language between her and Donald Trump at the joint session of Congress the other night. And it was not exactly warm and friendly.

There is a guy by the name of Tony Saruga, who has a large following on social media, former CIA NSA contractor. And I want to read to you what he wrote, which is really fascinating. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. He says: many conservatives believe Justice Amy Coney Barrett deliberately lied and intentionally misled the vetting team during her confirmation. But it isn't just about her ideology, though.

It's becoming very obvious Justice Barrett is also compromised out of fear for her family. After Justice Kavanaugh's potential assassin was caught, Justice Barrett lost it. Many thought she was about to resign. She was genuinely scared to death.

Now, the Biden administration and Democrat senators ignored the Supreme Court's pleas for help. Protesters were allowed to get very, very close to the justices' homes. And if you remember, they actually targeted Her home. And if you don't seriously believe these judges are scared to death to rule against the administration or the administrative and intelligent states, you're simply not paying attention. Look at what happened to Brett Kavanaugh, on June 8th, 2022.

When Nicholas Roski traveled to Kavanaugh's home with zero difficulty, he had plans to break into the judge's home, kill him, and then commit suicide. Tony goes on to write that the justices and their families are being intimidated daily. Even the Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer. Remember remember Chucky? threatened the Supreme Court, and he was not punished at all.

He says you've released the whirlwind. and you will pay the price. Justice Kavanaugh Rimmer, that that's what he said.

Something is not right here. And in the comments, there are some people that actually know the Kavanaughs. I'm sorry, know the Barrets. And they say That Barrett was actually threatened physically, and her children were also threatened. And perhaps that is the reason why she's siding with the left on some of these cases.

Those are the conversations that are being had.

Now I'm just going to be as Plain spoken as I can be here, folks. But when you are. nominated for the highest court in the land, you have to expect there are there will always be blowback. No doubt about it. And the behavior of the Democrats put putting great big targets.

On all of these justices is unacceptable. And quite frankly, it should have been investigated, and those lawmakers should have been removed from office and thrown in jail. Because they were trying to gin up a mob to go and pull the justices and their families out of their homes and, I don't know, burn them alive, beat them in the streets. I don't know what they were trying to do. I'll tell you this: here in Memphis, Tennessee, just to give you an example, these people are so unhinged.

We've got these radical leftists out there. These people are, the only benefit if that mob is coming after you is that you can smell them before you see them. They're not very they don't practice good hygiene. But they went to the home of a district attorney And they tried to burn down her house by shooting fireworks, these large fireworks. They were shooting fireworks.

They vandalized her front yard. Fortunately, she was not home. If I recall the story correctly, I think maybe her children were home. This is insanity. That something like this would be allowed to happen.

But this is who these people are: these leftists, the people like Jasmine Crockett's and AOCs, and Elhan Omars, the one who married her brother. These people are dangerous.

So I get it. I get it. But the reality is, you knew what you were signing up for. And if you can't stomach it, if you are literally going to betray your oath, and that's what Justice Barrett is doing here. Forget that she lied.

to the American people. lied to the Trump administration. But She betrayed her oath. She's making decisions based on whether or not it's going to Keep her family safe. She should resign from the bench.

That's what she ought to do. Go back to the University of Notre Dame and just go back to whatever life she was living, and she can live that life. But I'll tell you this. And if she thinks she's got it bad, try being the Clarence Thomas's wife. Try being Sam Alito's wife.

Try being Sam Alito or Justice Thomas. I mean, it's it's insanity what's going on here. But we need men and women of courage on the highest bench in the land, and we need we need those justices to have backbones of steel. If I was just as bare, you know what, I'd be packing heat every single day. And I'd let people know it.

That's what I would do. 901 2605926 or telephone number. That's 901260-5926. All right, I got to tell you about this story about Hamilton.

So. Hamilton, very popular musical. People love it. And it's like the, it was the hit show on Broadway. I don't know if it still is.

It was Hamilton and Wicked and whatever.

So, anyway, Hamilton was supposed to be performed at the. Kennedy Center, and they have now canceled.

So the producer of Hamilton has now canceled the the show. And the reason why is because President Trump went in there and got rid of all the woke leadership and wanted to basically bring in some fresh blood, some new vision, an anti-woke vision. And so now Hamilton says, well, we just can't handle that. We don't we can't handle freedom. And the producer put out a statement.

Jeffrey Seller is his name. He says, given these recent actions, our show simply cannot in good conscience participate and be a part of this new culture. That is being imposed on the Kennedy Center. What new culture? Freedom?

Liberty? A little Um diversity, maybe?

Alright. He goes on to say, we are not acting against his administration, but against the partisan policies of the Kennedy Center as a result of his recent takeover. Really? What about the partisan policies of the Democrats? Jeffrey Seller didn't seem to have a problem with that, did he?

Now I went to go see Hamilton. Yeah. And I'm not ashamed to tell you that I left before half time, before intermission. And I'm going to tell you why. I couldn't understand a blessed word they were rapping up there.

The whole s the whole musical. That's all they're doing is rapping. And I'm like, we don't even have subtitles because it's a musical. But it really wasn't a musical, it was a rap show. in period costumes.

And I know people love it. People oh, a lot of conservatives, they love Hamlet. I was doing a segment this morning on Newsmax TV and someone said, Todd, Todd, what do you think? What is your reaction now that Hamilton's not going to be at the Kennedy Center? And I looked just deadpan into the camera and I said, Oh, woe is me.

Boho! What do I care? I'm sure there's another fine show. You know what? Bring back Oklahoma.

Now that's a musical. Oh! Oklahoma and the you know, yeah. Or what's the uh My Fair Lady? Gobna.

What about? I don't know. Little House on the Prairie. No, that's a TV show. I'm sure there are plenty of other things they can.

I just, I don't know. Anyway, they talk about being inclusive in this whole Hamilton thing, which, by the way, And I'm not judging here because I really don't care, but I just want to point something out. You know, this crowd, Lynn Manuel Miranda. They all love to throw around. If you remember, they were actually looking for actors for Hamilton of the non-white variety.

So if you're a white person, you are screwed. No job for you. They made all of the founding fathers people of color. And I don't know. History may be wrong.

Don't get, but I don't think all of them were. I think there were actually some. There were some kinds that were whiter than those powdered wigs they wore. I'm just saying. So I'm sorry, but we're Don't they call that cultural appropriation, right?

It would be like doing the Martin Luther King Jr. musical and only hiring white people. I think something might get lost in translation there. I'm not judging, I'm just. I'm just asking.

That's all. So So all that to say. Mike Pence, the vice president of these great United States, went to go see Hamilton. And oh, to be a fly on his head for that one. He was up there, and I guess he got tickets.

It's a hard ticket to come by, but he was there, and people were heckling him. He was being lectured from the stage. That's your diversity. That's your tolerance, by the way. All right, we got to take a break here.

901-260-5926. We are going to your phone calls. That's 901-260-5926.

Just a reminder. We are raising money. We're launching our big campaign today on the Todd Sterns show, raising money $20,000 for food for the poor. And here's what we're asking you to do: a hundred dollar donation or more. I'm going to send you a signed copy of one of my great books.

Also, you're going to get this brand new exclusive Gulf of America postcard. You're going to love this. Our team put this together just for you, and we'd love to send you one of those. How do you do it? All you have to do is go to todsterns.com, click on the banner at the top of the page, and you'll be able to make a donation joining me, Larry Elder, and our good friend Hugh Hewitt as we help out these kids.

It is a worthwhile ministry and cause. Got to take a break. We'll be right back. Mm.

To the bones we go, Little Rock, Arkansas. Jerry is on the line. Hi, Jerry. What's going on? Hi, Tud.

Beautiful day here. I hope you're enjoying it. Indeed. We could talk about Amy Cohen. Verrett and the Supreme Court.

Just got me to thinking, Todd, nothing's going to change here until we see some Democrat. politicians or bureaucrats. Perk walked in handcuffs. And Wasn't a perfect place to start. You know, I remember being told that there was going to be an investigation, and then I never heard a word about it.

How come we still don't know? The name of the clerk that illegally leaked the Ro Wade decision ahead of time. And what justice she was wa uh See I'm assuming. But and how come we still don't know the name of that clerk and what justice she was working for? You know, it's a great question, Jerry.

And again, I appreciate the administration's efforts going after and unveiling all of these secrets and the Epstein files and all this other kind of stuff. But you're right, those are things that sort of got swept under the carpet that need to be brought out because that, by the way, is a crime. What that person did, they can be charged with a crime for revealing and leaking that information coming out of the Supreme Court. And while I'm thinking about it, another uh Perfect place to start with the handcuff perf walk. Would have been Al Green the other night.

Tell me, weren't most of the January sixth political prisoners charged with obstruction of official congressional duties? It's true. He should have been charged. Oh, by the way, Jerry, to that point, when all those people broke out in the spiritual song, We Shall Overcome, all of those people could now be subjected to punishment. And I know this sounds a little.

I don't know. Unfair, maybe too much, but I say punish every single one of them. If they were Republicans, that's exactly what they would have done to the Republicans.

So I say, you know what? They need to be taught a lesson here. And while we're at it, since you brought up all this them bringing out the old civil rights folk songs and using them to you know, every time they do that, and I'll clean this up a little bit, but what they are doing is urinating all over the graves of the legitimate Civil rights freedom fighters. Yeah. Look, you're not wrong at all, Jerry.

There's a lot of truth to that, and you're right. Anytime they use words like racism and things, when it's not, it cheapens the word. And that's what angers me because I know there's racism out there. But what they're, you know, now they're accusing, you're going to love this one, Jerry. They're accusing House leadership of having a slave owner mentality by punishing a black lawmaker.

Yeah, it's r it's ridiculous. It is absolutely ridiculous. Legitimate civil rights people from the sixties are spinning in their graves. over what these people are doing now. And I just thought earlier today, if I couldn't say anything else good about Obama, I can say, at least he never pretended to be from the street.

There you go. Jasmine Crockett is the work.

Well said. All right, Jerry, got to leave it there, my friend. Thank you for calling in. Here's Congress babe, Rashida Tlaib. You're going to love this one.

Cut one. But one of the things that bothers me about all of this is the executive order of rescinding the sensitive locations. Why this is important? They basically want to do immigration enforcement and racial profiling and immigration enforcement that's race-based. Because look at, I'm at the Canadian border in Detroit.

Do you know the majority of people coming out and undocumented is Canadian? But guess what? It's still the brown folks that are overwhelming. ACLU did a study, is overwhelming the ones being targeted, detained, and deported.

So she's actually suggesting that it is now racist to deport any illegals who rape, murder, or otherwise harm American citizens. Do you understand how unhinged these people really are? It's just really unbelievable. All right, coming up on tomorrow's show, we're going to break down this interview, Charlie Kirkdeb, with Gavin Newscomb, who is the governor of California. Also, we are going to break down the reaction to what happened, to what will happen when President Trump signs an executive order later this afternoon.

I am telling you, the teachers' unions are going to pitch a royal hissy fit, ladies and gentlemen. Absolute royal hissy fit. In the meantime, I want you to head over to ToddSterns.com.
