I love this American ride. Touch starts. Quite frankly, it may not be not such a bad thing after all these things. But all in all They want to make it Your life miserable. These are the people that are all about the preferred pronouns, putting these perverts in your kids' classrooms, and turning your little three-year-olds into drag queens.
That's who these people are, and they are going to war with Chucky Schumer. By the way, Kristen Gillibrand, who is the junior senator, from New York. She apparently was screaming so loud. At Chucky Schumer. And if you've been to Washington, D.C., you've been in the capital building, you know, these are very well-built buildings.
I mean, the walls are super thick. They have the giant oak doors. You can't hear any. You don't know what they're doing as they're smoking their cigars and they're plotting and conniving. And they said that she was screaming so loud you could hear it from outside of the meeting rooms.
It's brilliant.
So look, we've got a lot of audio we're going to be playing, and a lot of folks are weighing in on this. And it is you if you're a conservative, sit back and enjoy all of this. Because it is, what is the word I'm looking for? Delicious. As a matter of fact, would you mind bringing some A1 steak sauce as we watch?
This is incredible as we watch the Democrats implode. And if the Republicans play their cards right, which they never do, but I'm hopeful. But if they play their card right, cards right, they could be in power for decades.
Now, that being said. I want to say something very quickly about these town halls that the Republicans are holding. And I know there was one held over in Asheville. That's near Hendersonville, by the way, North Carolina. We have a lot of listeners in that part of the country.
And it was a complete free-for-all. We're not going to play a lot of the altar. There was a lot of screaming. There was a packed house there. And people were really unhinged.
I mean, they were cursing the congressman. It was not a pretty thing. And people are getting up and claiming to be veterans and claiming to be Trump supporters. And I don't believe any of it. And it was terrible, this town hall.
And basically, we've seen this take place in town hall meetings all over the country now. And the Republicans have been advised: don't hold the town halls because it's a trap. And that's what these things are. Chuck Edwards, the congressman from North Carolina, walked right into a trap. And this guy, I don't get it.
I don't understand why the Republicans are doing this. Because hear me on this. We have short-term memory here in this country. People have to be reminded over and over and over again. And the problem here is that every single one of these town halls is being filmed, it's being taped and archived, and it will be hauled out and used.
At the midterm elections in campaign ads. And what they're going to tell you is, and we're already starting to see this in the mainstream media, because the networks, they are so. They are so deceptive. They're telling you that these are Republican town hall meetings, and they're not. They're not.
These are Republican lawmakers holding town halls in their communities, and they got to stop it. They just have to. Mm-hmm. Because these people are not conservative. You may have one or two in there.
But can we get real for just a moment? I mean, conservatives don't go to meetings. They don't. And you know why? Because you guys are busy.
You got jobs. You go to church, you volunteer in your community, you got other stuff going on. You don't have time to go to these meetings. But these radical leftists, many of them are now unemployed, many of them are former government workers, they got nothing to do. And you got your riffraff, you got the smoke, the folks out there smoking the two-piece.
Smokin' the Devil's Lettuce. And all of these people, and especially in an area like Nashville or Asheville, and I love Asheville, but can we get real for a moment? It's sort of like. And correct me if I'm wrong here, North Carolinians, but Asheville is sort of like where you send most of your liberals. And you, I mean, it's a smart move.
You want to sort of isolate them. And you guys have done that. You've shoved them all into western North Carolina, and most of them live in Asheville. As a matter of fact, when you're driving along Interstate 40 and you're about to enter Asheville, North Carolina, you can already smell the patchouli oil and you can smell the marijuana smoke. I mean, it's kind of like the Berkeley of or the San Francisco of the South, I think is how they describe it.
So it's a radical leftist area.
So for Congressman Chuck Edwards to go in there and hold and I get it. I mean, I well, I just want to hear from my constituents. No, these are not your constituents. By and large, they're driving these people in. And by the way, they're paying for these people to get here.
We've been hearing reports that these are being funded by these radical left billionaires that are paying people to go and insert themselves and cause mayhem at these town hall meetings.
So don't buy into, don't buy into this, folks. And your elected leaders, they need to wise up here. You got to play smart politics here, people. And that's the problem. The Republicans have not been in leadership long enough to understand how to lead and also how to win in a consistent manner.
So my recommendation to all you Republicans Don't hold these town hall meetings. By the way, if you got something to say to your congressman, call him up. And give them a piece of your mind. Send him an email. But these town hall meetings are playing right into the hands of these radical Democrats.
That's what's going on here. Oh, Scott Jennings was talking about this last night on CNN. And cut number four, please. You don't think Republicans were prepared for unhinged liberal mobs? We've been dealing with this since Donald Trump won in.
Scott, these aren't white liberal mobs. These are not liberal mobs. Believe me. I watched a little bit. I looked at the questions.
Why is he shredding the Constitution? Why is he shredding the Constitution? Putin this, Putin that. One guy had to be escorted out. He was so unhinged.
These are not. This is a representative. That was that guy, the veterans. It's a mob. This guy.
This is what you're saying about veterans. If Republicans weren't so worried, then why did you have the Republican Party go out and say, stop doing town halls, stop talking to real people? It's a stupid idea. They don't want to talk to the voters. They don't want to talk to voters.
This is why you guys are polling so poorly. We're not. Wait a minute. Can we just revisit the Democrat congressional? Congress is polling poorly.
Donald Trump is also polling poorly. He's twice as much as Democrats in Congress. 40% of the American people. According to the CNN poll, it says that 40% say that they care about him. And then you have a veteran out there saying, I'm a veteran and you don't give an F about me.
That is in line with how people feel about Donald Trump. And if you want to go off, and you want to say that it's a damn thing. If you want to tell yourself a story about these people, and they're being paid, then you guys are going to lose the midterms. And you know what? Very wonderful.
So you're telling me everybody that's showing up to these town halls to boo these Republicans on these crazy policies that they're supporting right now, these are all paid. We're going back to paid out. Explain it again. It's 2020. It's unrepresentative.
Of that congressional district where this guy got like 56% of the vote.
So it was unrepresented. And of the state, which Donald Trump won. These are unrepresentative, unhinged mobs. I don't know what else to tell you. That's what they are.
And that's exactly what they are.
So, again, the Republicans, you guys, and this is where you've got to throw down the hammer. And Speaker Mike Johnson was right to tell these Republicans. Got to stop doing these because you're playing directly into the hands of the Democrats here. All right, look, this is also Open Line Friday, and this is an opportunity for you to call in. You can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
By the way, President Trump later today is going to be giving an address at the Department of Justice. We're hearing it might possibly have something to do with the Epstein files. We'll keep you updated on that. Our telephone number and write this down: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
Now, I want to have a little conversation. It's just you and me, ladies and gentlemen, just for a few seconds. I want to talk to you before we go to break.
So I've been getting a lot of questions about food for the poor, and people have been asking me, Todd, have you checked these people out? Are they getting any of this government money, USAID money? What's going on here? Because I'm a little, you know, no, I get it. But let me explain something about how we do things on this program.
Anytime you hear a sponsor on this show, that sponsor. Sponsor has to be approved by me. And I'm going to tell you, we've actually turned away sponsors because I didn't like their product, or maybe the product didn't taste all that great, or whatever.
So we're very careful about what we do here. I'm very careful about what I endorse on this program. And I never endorse anything that I don't believe in. For example, I'm drinking a delicious cup of coffee right now. You know what's in that cup?
Wired to fish coffee. And I'm drinking the coffee because I like it.
So, here's what I want to tell you about food for the poor. I have checked these folks out, and we did it last year before we even began to partner with them. These are good people, these are Christian people, and they have no political agenda other than to feed the poor and to feed hungry children. That's their mission. They don't get a single penny of government money.
All of the money they get comes from people like you.
So, this is why I'm really imploring you. And today, we got to do a good job. I'd like to reach the $5,000 mark, and we can do that by just a couple of people giving a couple of thousand dollars. But most of you, maybe you got $10,000, $20,000, $50. I want you to consider giving that right now.
We're going to be reading out names here momentarily, but I want you to know that we need your help here. We cannot do this without you. I do one telethon a year. That's it, except for last year when we had the hurricane and we helped out our friends in North Carolina. But your help really is.
Needed. And I want you to hear what my good friend Kurt Schlichter has to say about it. You've read his stuff. He's a conservative columnist. He's a best-selling author.
And he's one of those folks out there saying that we need to be helping people in our own hemisphere. And we do.

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

Todd, in regard to these disruptors coming to Town hall meetings where Republican representatives are present, we need to do more than just say. They're getting paid to disrupt these meetings. We need evidence. Otherwise The left'll just say.
We have no proof. All right, that was Ken from Richmond, Virginia, using our shout-out on the Todd Stern Show app. By the way, you can download that app by going to ToddSterns.com free of charge, and you can actually do what Ken just did. He sent us a quick shout-out, and we play those back during the show. Welcome back.
And to answer Ken's question, President Trump himself said many of these people at these protests are, in fact, paid political actors. And we've seen this over and over again, where they look for these people online. They're asking for people to show up. You're going to get $25, $50. You're going to get a gift card.
And all they want you to do is disrupt whatever is happening at these so-called town hall meetings. By the way, I want to go back. Here is Scott Jennings again, cut number two. I want to remind you both that it was Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. When January 6th happened this year, what happened?
It wasn't Democrats storming the Capitol. Actually, guess what? No one stormed the Capitol this January 6th. And so it was. If you look at the video in New York City today, the people who took over Trump Tower, the people screaming at folks on the street.
People were protesting. People were protesting. They were not Trump storming. They were not storming. They stormed Trump Tower.
They were not storming. They were inside of it. They were not storming the Capitol. They were not lobbying. They were not trying to hurt a member of Congress.
There were thousands of people that were prosecuted on January 6th, guys. We have forgotten. By the way, all of those people that made it inside of Trump Tower, well, here's what they should have done. They should have locked those doors and not let anybody out. They should have rounded up everybody in those red t-shirts.
And those that were, they should have all been charged with trespassing. But those who are here on student visas or they're foreign nationals, they get their butts shipped back to whatever country they came from. Immediately. Do not pass go. Go right to the airport.
You're on the next flight to Gitmo, and from Gitmo, we'll send you back to wherever you came from. That's what we ought to start doing here and playing hardball with these people. But beyond that, I still want to know how it is those protesters were able to breach security and get inside Trump Tower. That is President Trump's residence when he's in New York City. That's the headquarters of the Trump organization.
It seems to me we got some serious, serious issues. With security to talk about here. I mean, geez a loop. All right, coming up, we've got a great show for you. Senator Marsha Blackburn is going to be here, and she's going to give us some insight into what's going on inside the Senate.
Chucky Schumer says he will not block the Republican funding bill, and Schumer is catching holy you-know-what. From his caucus, and it is a beautiful thing to see. Also, we're going to be getting your calls. We have a couple of lines open: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
And during the break, head over to the website and be sure to make a donation. ToddStarns.com. Click on that blue banner at the very top of the page, and you're going to be able to help us feed a lot of hungry kids. We'll be right back, everybody. Hang tight.

Don't forget, you can watch the Todd Stearns show tonight on Newsmax 5 o'clock. We have a jam-packed show for you as we pay very close attention to what's about to happen in the Senate.
I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello to my senator, Senator Marsha Blackburn from the great state of Tennessee. Senator, I'm wondering: have you seen Chuck Schumer today? How's he doing? How's Chucky? Yeah.
You know, Chucky's having a pretty bad week. And they thought they were going to oppose this continuing resolution, which is a funding document that we will do to the end of the fiscal year. And this, Todd, is the way for us to say bye bye, Biden. and get the Biden administration behind us. And move on to President Trump's priorities and passing his agenda.
We were headed into what would be termed a Schumer shutdown. And I think the fact that the Liberal media even picked up the Schumer shutdown moniker. It's what drove him to go to the floor yesterday and announce that he would support the continuing resolution. But this was only after they had a yelling, screaming, fighting conference meeting. And we heard it was quite feisty.
But this is they're not winning. And they are on the wrong side of just about every issue. whether it's funding or securing the border. Russia-Ukraine, crime in the streets. Todd, they're on the wrong side of Everything.
And I I think that the American people are feeling like they have, the Democrats have no message. They have no leader. They are not responding to the American people.
So, their situation. They're just in a bad place.
Well, they are, and I'm not sympathetic at all. Honestly, they're the ones that put themselves in this sort of a place. And honestly, they've got a huge problem on their hands here, Senator, and it's a great opportunity for Republicans because you've got a far-left movement within that party that's going to be taking control. And the American people have completely rejected that ideology.
So I see this as really an opportunity for Republicans. Oh, absolutely. I totally agree with you. And while the Democrats are just having themselves one good old fashioned come apart, It is the opportunity for us to say, no, this is how we get the country back on the right track. This is how we position our country for.
A better economy, for greater prosperity, for more security. This is how we guarantee that we can get ourselves back on track and keep ourselves on track. Because the Democrats have no plan, and as they fought us on this CR, as they are fighting us on reconciliation bills, they have. No plan. Do you are you confident that Chucky that Schumer is going to toe the line here and do what he delivered on?
Because he's catching hell from his fellow Democrats, and it's not a done deal just yet. No, we need to clear this vote. For closure. That vote is going to be at 1.15 Eastern time. And we'll be clearing, working to clear that vote.
Um And we Are hopeful that we get the seven Democrats so we're able to move forward.
Now, you do have some Democrats. that don't want to get what is called a time agreement. Which would allow us to collapse the 30-hour time period.
so that we are able to move forward on that vote tonight before midnight. And what we're hearing is there are about five Democrats that want to stay here in DC. And rail against Republicans and use this as an opportunity to raise money from the radical left. Senator Marshall Blackburn on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today, you know, Senator, and I get it, you know, fine, they're going to do that. You know, I think the American people see through all of this.
The thing I am somewhat concerned about is the level of violence. I mean, the rhetoric coming out of their mouths is dangerous. We saw what happened at Trump Tower yesterday, and I know that you were on Fox earlier talking about these violent criminals that are attacking Tesla dealerships across the country.
Well, yes, and we are quite concerned about that. When you are committing this kind of violence, this is not. speech. This is not peaceful protest. This is people that are trying to disrupt in a destructive manner and carry out violence against individuals.
It is dangerous. These are individuals that need to be prosecuted for what they are doing. We need to make certain that law enforcement, those that are carrying out violence, are prosecuted in the appropriate way. And we need to make certain that people who are here to see us or in DC or in these public spaces, Jewish students on college campuses, that they are going to be kept safe. Absolutely.
And yet we haven't heard, I haven't heard any Democrat leaders on Capitol Hill condemning any of this. Oh, it's been astounding that they have not condemned this. And when you look at what is happening at Columbia University, and you hear some of the students there talk about even the faculty and how they support this. And how they discuss it in classes. I mean, Todd.
Oh, what would you do if this was your child? Who was having to listen to this and put up with this every single day? It's a fair point, and it's a great question. And then you look at what's happening at places like the University of Tennessee, for example, on the other side, where you had Charlie Kirk show up and thousands of kids came out on the campus of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville to see that. And that has to make you feel good to see that the policies you guys are implementing have really generated so much excitement among young Gen Z Americans.
Yes, indeed. And to know that there are kids in high school and in college in Tennessee that are pushing to start these turning point chapters and to get involved with learning about the federal government, learning about being a taxpayer, looking at what happens with their hard earned dollars when they get sent to the federal government. And I am beyond thrilled to see this kind of activism. I've got a I A high school grandson, and he is trying to start a turning point chapter at his school.
So I think this is a good thing. I was so pleased to see the response. that Charlie received when he went on campus at UT. It really is exciting. And again, I think it's an affirmation to what you are doing up on Capitol Hill.
You have really demonstrated and illustrated to an entire generation of young conservatives: hey, this is how you can take a stand. This is how you're supposed to behave as a lawmaker. You deliver on every single one of your campaign promises. And that's a thing that I think is very, very impressive. Yes, I agree.
And the work we're doing on the economy, making tax cuts permanent. making certain that we are building for a future economy where these kids are not going to be shackled with thirty six trillion dollars of federal debt, working to get that debt number down and address it, working to secure the border and get these criminal illegal aliens out. of the country. Get them apprehended. Those are all things that young people are looking at and they're saying yes.
This is what I want my government to be doing for me. And then when you compare that, and a final thought here, you look at the positive, the future-focused message of the Republicans, and then you've got Chuck Schumer out there calling conservatives like yourself a profane word. You've got the senator from Arizona, Mark Kelly, selling his Tesla and calling him a blank hole, calling Elon a blank. This is just, it really is such a stark contrast between the two parties right now.
Well, it is. Many young people are so drawn to innovators. and to individuals that come to the table with ideas outside the box. That's one of the things that drew them to President Trump. He wasn't a typical politician that would show up and lecture you about what the federal government can and cannot do.
He was somebody that shows up and says, Here is what we need to do to get this country back on track. to make sure that we're safe. to put an end to endless wars. Make certain we address inflation, to make life more affordable.
So look at the cost of living. And to make certain your tomorrows are better than your todays and yesterdays. That's it. All right, Senator, I know you've got a very busy day. We really appreciate you taking some time with us today.
You got it. Take care. All right. There you go, folks. Senator Marcia Blackburn.
And we should have asked her about the governorship. You know, there have been a lot of rumblings that she may be interested in being the next governor of Tennessee. Look, whatever she wants to do, she's going to be great at it. If she's going to stay in the Senate, we are blessed. If she's going to run for the governor's mansion, we're going to be blessed as well.
All right, here's the deal, folks. We've got to take a quick break here: 901-260-5926. We're going right to your phone calls. That's 901-260-5926.

We'll start our day in New Hampshire with Dan. Hi, Dan. What's on your mind? All right, let's put Dan on hold. Guys, let's make sure our callers are ready to rock and roll here.
Let's go to Jerry in Wisconsin. Hi, Jerry. What's on your mind? Hey, Todd. Um I have to say something.
As a Democrat, a person who supported liberal causes, I've never gotten anything to say, do I want to be a paid protester at a town hall meeting or anything else. I mean So that's something that's never happened to me. I mean If there was all these like Paid or protesters. I mean, there would be evidence of it. Just Donald Trump saying something.
Doesn't make it true at all. But, Jerry, do you really believe all those people are Republicans? No. No. Because that's what the media is telling you.
No, the media is not saying anything about that. Yeah, some of them are Republicans, but Democrats can attend town halls of their congressmen, even if the congressman's Republican, because the congressman represents everyone in the Tennessee. No, he does. But the point of the and by the way, our Democrat congressmen here in Tennessee, they don't hold those town hands, they don't hold town hall meetings.
Well, a lot of Democrats are going to Republican districts to have town hall meetings because the Republicans are checking it out.
So Democrat congreg No, these aren't town hall meetings. These are Jerry, what we're watching, these are political operatives that are staging campaign ads. That's what we're watching right now. All right, Jerry, thank you for the call. I don't know what happened to Jerry.
Let's go to John in Kentucky. Hi, John. What's on your mind? Scott, I just got two questions, and then I'm going to take them to listen for your response. Great show, by the way.
My wife loves you. You talked to her yesterday. First question. Remember Steve Cascalese when there was an assassination attempt on him and other Republicans? Yeah, by the Bernie Sanders supporter.
Right. And here's the question. With these town hall meetings, These congressmen, these Republican congressmen are putting their lives in danger now.
So either he they wear bulletproof vests or they have armed security. within the crowd to expel these people. And the second question I have is with these these Supreme Court rulings and these federal judges saying Trump can't do this, Andrew Jackson didn't listen to the Supreme Court, and I believe Tanny didn't either. But that was during the Civil War. What would happen if President Trump didn't listen to these federal rulings.
But shouldn't these I'm more concerned about the safety of our Republican representatives. And you're right, they should avoid having these town hall meetings, but if they have the town hall meetings, Should they not have armed security and letting those people know? Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. John, that is a great point you bring up.
And yes, the security aspect of this, and you're right. I have forgot about what happened to Steve Scalise, but it's a great point.
Some of these Democrats are downright dangerous. I mean, keep in mind, it was a Bernie Sanders supporter who nearly took out a big chunk of the Republican caucus at that softball practice or that baseball practice.
So, yeah, I think there is a safety concern, especially when you've got people like Maxine Waters out there. And here's what Maxine Waters had to say, cut 14. I'm worried that Trump is on the edge of creating a civil war. He alluded to it more than once. He alluded to the fact that if he did not get reelected, that there could be a civil war.
What does Trump expect? Oh, I believe he expects violence. I believe he expects confrontation. I believe he's working toward a civil war. We're not going to get goaded.
No, no, the people creating the Civil War are, in fact, the Democrats. And if we could get Pam Bondi, somebody needs to light a fire under Pam Bondi, we need to get to the bottom of what happened during the back in January, the J-6 riots. What happened? Who started those? Was this a government operation that went awry?
No. We need to find out. But right now, the Democrats are laying the groundwork for violence in this country. It's already happening at these Elon at the Tesla dealerships. By the way, there is going to be a protest in Raleigh, North Carolina.
These are happening all over the country. And here's Chuck Schumer, cut 15. To have the conflict on the best grounds we have summed up in a sentence that they're making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires, it's much, much better not to be in the middle of a shutdown, which to divert people from the number one issue we have against these bastards.
Sorry, these people. All right, stop this. Stop, stop, stop. That's what they really think of us. They're telling us.
You had Mark Kelly, the senator out of Arizona, calling us blank holes. I mean, these are Ugly, violent. These people have dark hearts. And it's horrible to say that, but you don't see the Republicans, you don't see conservatives out there using this sort of language. They are trying to create.
A very dangerous situation in this country. And we can't buy into the threats. We can't get pulled into all of this. We've got to take the high ground, but we also have to defend ourselves. All right, hang tight, everybody.

You know what's fascinating? I was watching a news report. Yesterday, and this story has really gone viral on the socials. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Happy Friday to you, Open Line Friday.
And we're excited to have all of you guys with us. Uh this story from Baltimore. A fifteen or rather a fifteen underage thugs. savagely beat a a white boy, a twelve year old. And there's video of the entire attack, and it is so awful.
I'm shocked they didn't beat this kid to death. And the good news here is that the child did survive, but I can't even imag again, the bruises and the cuts, those injuries are going to heal. But I can't even begin to imagine. You're a 12-year-old kid and you nearly get beaten to death by 15. 15 BOYS They pulled first they pulled down the kid's pants.
So not only did they beat him up, they took away his pants, they stripped the kid. I mean, this is like savage stuff you would see in some sort of like, I don't know, third world country. They threw the little boy on the ground. They punched him, they beat him, they kicked the child. All of this apparently stems from something that the the twelve year old told some girl.
I don't know what it was, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't justify nearly being beaten to death.
Now, the Baltimore police have been very open about all of this, and they say that 15 thugs attacking a white boy does not qualify as a hate crime. And it turns out all of the attack, well, I can't say that, I haven't seen all the attackers, an overwhelming number of the attackers. not white. I'll leave it there. The father of the victim, Tony Longo, talking to Fox 45.
Says The fifteen kids surrounded his son. His son's name is Kaysen. They were on top of him, brutally beating him. Whether you are a juvenile or an adult, there have to be consequences. But the Baltimore police say this is not a hate crime.
And it seems to me and again, they say that a lot of by the way, a lot of these kids are so young they can't even be charged.
So they're not it's not like you can charge these kids as adults. But I want to know where they're learning that savagery. If you're doing that at that young of an age, if you're like 9, 10, 11 years old, and you're out there with your gang, your posse. And you're beating up white kids. I'm not sure where you're learning that behavior.
Is it coming from home? Because honestly, the parents deserve to face charges as well. If you raise your kid to behave like a savage animal, you go to jail. You go to jail. And quite frankly, they ought to put you in the same cell with your little monster kid.
This is unbelievable what's happening. But what's fascinating about this, and I just want you to step back. And again, I think the interesting story here is: why is this not a hate crime? Because if you would have had a situation where you had 15 white kids beaten the holy living daylights out of a black child, this would be the only thing the media would be talking about in this country. Period.
That's it. But there's hypocrisy here. But then again, there is a large swath of the media, and they don't believe, they believe the only people that can be guilty of hate crimes are white people. And I strongly disagree with that. But quite frankly, I'm not a big fan of hate crimes anyway.
I think every crime is a hate crime. But if you're going to have on the books, you got to be fair about how you prosecute people. I would contend that this 12-year-old's civil rights were violated. Will Pam Bondi's Justice Department get involved? Probably not.
Probably not. Meanwhile, have you been following the story? Dieter, this is a crazy story. I know you're a runner. And did you run track and field when you were in college?
No. In high school? No. So you're just a long distance, it's all about you, runner. Yeah.
I love marathons.
So the longer the distance, the happier I am.
So there's this crazy story out of Virginia. And ironically, it happened at Liberty University. They have some of the best athletic facilities in the state, which is why they have the state championships there. And there was a high school track and field championship. And there was a girl, and her name is Aleya Everett.
She is a senior, and we've got the video up at ToddSterns.com, and we have the video from two different angles. But anyway, they're getting close to the finish line. She's trying to catch up with another girl, and she goes and she uses her baton. And those batons are made typically out of what, metal? And she beat the living crap out of that girl right upside her head.
And her name, the victim here, Kaelin Tucker. And Kalen Tucker suffered a concussion. And I believe had a possible skull fracture as a result of how the force of the blow. Yeah. But here's what gets me.
They're treating. They're treating Miss Tucker like she's the criminal. I've never seen anything like this.
Now, the NAACP is getting involved in this, and that's always a bad thing because they're one of the biggest racist activities. Racist groups out there, and they're hollering about racism.
Now, here's what gets me, Ben Dieter. I that's a stretch for me because both the victim and the attacker are black.
So, how is this the white guy's fault? I'm. I'm trying to understand that. The chip literally beat up the girl with a metal pole. On video.
On video. It's very clear. It's not like. Your eyes are not lying to you. They're not deceiving the average viewer.
So now she's been charged with misdemeanor assault or something. We'll get to that in just a moment. But here's what gets me. And this is classic. And I wrote a book years ago, Dieter, years ago.
And I had this chapter in the book where I had been the victim of a crime. It was sort of a parody chapter, and I was trying to illustrate what has become real life here in this country. And I had been the victim of a crime, and the police came and they took my report. And when I gave a description of the suspect, I got arrested for racism and civil rights violations because I identify my attacker as being a person of color. And so my editor, as they're reading this parody chapter, and the whole point of it, you know, again, it's funny because everybody's like, oh, you can't say that kind of stuff.
You know, when police put out reports, they'll give you the color of. The pants, color of the shirt, color of the car, they won't tell you the color of the. attacker, right? The person they're looking for, the suspect.
So anyway, my editor said, This is stupid. This is not ever going to happen to the country. I think your parody is too far off base. Oh, it's not off base. I was a prophet in my own time.
So now, so now this young lady, Alalia Everett, and the NAACB holding a big rally, hundreds of people came out to stand alongside the attacker. And the poor victim, she's laid up. She's taken, what, tile and all? She's probably got like a compress on her head. She's got a big old whelp on her noggin.
And nobody's called to apologize. Nobody sent her flowers. Wasn't this chick literally charged with an assault? Yes. But they're saying she didn't do it.
And so now, this woman, the attacker, the 18-year-old Alela Everett. It's she she's saying that she's She's the true victim here. She's the one who's really suffering. And I want you to listen to her. She actually posted this on one of her social media platforms, Cut20.
Everybody has feelings.
So. You're physically hurt, but you're not thinking of my mental right. They're going off of one angle. After a couple times hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this and it rolled up her back. I lost my balance and when I pumped my arms again, she got hit.
But I know my intentions and I would never. Hit somebody on purpose, they're assaulting my character, calling me ghetto, racist slurs, death threats, all of this just because of a nine second video.
So here's what gets me, Dater. Wait, so she's like. The chick is physically injured, but I'm mentally distressed. You made me hit you. You made me do it.
Isn't that what the men say when they normally beat up the girlfriends? You made me do it! Me! Yeah. So, anyway, I don't know who's calling her.
You know, I don't know. I mean, again, this black-on-black crime here, I'm not sure why Whitey's getting blamed. I wish somebody would explain that one to me.
So, anyway, this is really, I mean, people are really talking about this and trying to figure out: okay, is there. You know, is there something we're not missing here? Cut number 21, please. Portsmith family says they're telling their side of the story in reference to a shocking incident at a Virginia High School League indoor track meet that left one athlete allegedly injured after she claimed she was struck by a baton held by IC Norcombe High School Senior Aleila Everett. Everett spoke exclusively to 10 on Your Side's Markesha Jackson, who brings us much more.
The young athlete in question says there's more to that video than meets the eye. Everybody has feelings.
So. You're physically hurt, but you're not thinking of my mental right. Elayla Everett is a decorated athlete and senior at IC Norcom High School. She would have never thought her trip to the Class three track and field state finals last Tuesday would take a drastic turn. They're going off of one angle.
Aleila, visibly emotional because of this video from the meet. This was a 4x200 meter relay race, and she and a Brookville high school athlete were rounding a curve on the track when they nearly collided with each other. After a couple times hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this and it rolled up her back. I lost my balance, and when I pumped my arms again, she got hit. It appears intentional, but Aleila says it was accidental.
But I know my intentions and I would never hit somebody on purpose. I didn't have to see your first video, second video, 10 video. I know 100% that she won't do this in no bags. Her parents outraged at the backlash. The IC Norcom relay team was disqualified.
So, regardless of the video evidence on the contrary, and we're going to get into some more angles in a moment here, but regardless of the video evidence to the contrary, she knows 100%. She's certain that this was not intentional, that her daughter would never do this. I beg to defer. But again, we'll get into it. Ruling that a local USA track and field official finds questionable.
He says a play-by-play look shows that the Brookville athlete was running closely to Aleila. If a person comes up on the outside, they gotta be A full stride ahead of me before they can cut in front of me. The other family spoke with the news station in Roanoke asking for an apology from Malayla, something she wants to give, but she says the other athlete hasn't been receptive, blocking her on social media. And instead, the Everett family was served with court papers.
Okay, we're done here. We're done. Stop, stop, stop. So, look, here's the deal. Um.
You got to watch the video. We have that video from two different angles. And it is very clear to me when you see this video that she was. intentionally trying to hit this child. That's what it certainly looks like to me.
But again, if you want to find out who the true victim here is, I would encourage you to go to our website and look at the video for yourself. But the broader story here is something is going on in high school and middle school athletics. That the kids are now emulating a lot of the violence we are seeing in professional sports. Also, this week in Michigan, you had a situation where you had two basketball teams in a competition, and the players from the opposing team attacked fans. There was another basketball event where they attacked coaches, and players literally attacked an old referee.
They were throwing bottles. They were throwing garbage.
Somebody threw a basketball and literally nailed the referee in the head. The police had to come in and physically escort the referee. Out of the basketball. Arena.
Something's going on here. There is no sportsmanship out there. Or are we teaching that these days? Are we teaching that? Or are we teaching kids to act like a lot of these.
Professional thugs in professional sports. Anyway, got to take a break here. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. This is Open Line Friday on the Todd Stern Show.
President Trump is moving at lightning speed. And after that, all hell is going to break out. Executive orders, new policies, promises kept. It's hard to keep up until now. Subscribe to the Trump Report.
This email brings you daily highlights from the Oval Office right to your inbox five days a week. I will put America first. It'll help you follow President Trump at the speed of Trump. All right, it is Open Line Friday. Let's go right to the phones: 901-260-5926-Dan in New Hampshire.
Hi Dan, what's going on? What's on your mind today?
Okay, let's put Dan. All right. Dan, good luck to you, my friend. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.
So, look, I want to go back to what's happening with Elon and these attacks that are happening at Tesla dealerships. This is just. absolutely insane. And the Democrats are out there, and they're targeting all of the businesses owned by Elon Musk. These Tesla dealerships, the charging stations, and even the Tesla car owners have been targeted.
We told you about what happened in Salem, Oregon, our friends over at KYKN. A dealership there hit by multiple rounds of gunfire, a number of cars damaged. There was another dealership that was hit with a Molotov cocktail. We also understand that in Massachusetts, they had set these charging stations on fire there. These are all hired goons.
Hired goons by the um By the Democrat Party.
Now, there are some reports. That these um These dealerships are being, or the rallies are being bankrolled by billionaire Democrat mega donors. Pam Bondi. is stepping into all of this. And Pam Bondi is out there saying, hey, look, we're going to crack down.
And we're going to be holding these people accountable. Cut number 11. We have people who are locking up on that. We have someone in jail right now from one of the dealerships. They threw a Molotov cocktail through a dealership.
They're looking at up to 20 years in prison.
So if you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out because we're coming after you. And if you're funding this, we're coming after you. We're going to find out who you are. Yeah. Well, good, I hope so.
But the reality is, we need to start charging these people under domestic terrorism. Laws. That's what we need to be doing here. Pam Bondi says she's launched an investigation into the attacks. The protests are having an impact, though, and Tesla's shares dropped by about 32% last month.
So it is, in fact, having some sort of an impact in um On on Elon.
Okay. And look, why are they doing this?
Well, the Democrats are targeting Elon for payback, right? What he's doing right now is he's going in, and we, the dirty secret here, is that most of this money. Is being funneled to bank accounts of Democrat lawmakers and their spouses, some Republicans. We're spending billions and billions of our tax dollars. On these far leftist organizations.
They're using our money against us.
So this is their cash cow, and Elon is now slaughtering their cash cow.
So the Democrats have hired this muscle, and they're punching back, and they're punching back hard. I'm telling you, folks, I am really concerned. You know, we had this conversation with Senator Marshall Blackburn. I am concerned about the potential for very dangerous terrorist activities from these leftists. They are unhinged and they realize that the jig is up.
And if Donald Trump is able to follow through and continue eliminating all of this wasteful spending, if we're able to shrink the government, if we really are able to abolish the Department of Education, let me tell you something. It's not so much the men I'm worried about. I'm worried about these radical feminist, these radical feminist women, these feminazis. They are completely unhinged. These are very dangerous people.
So, well, we're going to keep an eye on this, but I'm just telling you: watch your six, America, and if you have not already done so, You need to take an NRA gun safety class. You need to get your license, and you need to make sure that you have the ability to protect yourself, your business, and your family. Seriously. All right, got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926, our number.
That's 901-260-5926.
This is the Todd Stern Show. Keep up with the Trump administration when you subscribe to the Trump Report. This email brings you daily highlights from the Oval Office right to your inbox five days a week. Subscribe to the Trump Report. Wow, it was quite the scene at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
Now, normally the students turn out for the football games, and of course, we got the big SEC basketball tournament going down. But. For a political event, you would think not so much. That's wrong. There are thousands, thousands of college kids turned out to see Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk on campus.
I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello to Hannah Whitlow, who is the TPUSA College Field Representative for Tennessee. Hannah, good to have you with us today. Hey, Todd, thank you for having me on.
Well, that had to have been a pretty exciting event. What was that like being in the middle of the thousands of kids there at the University of Tennessee? Honestly, it was electric. And everybody was so kind and respectful. We did not have any issues with security.
And there were people that disagreed, which we encouraged. And there was just a lot of good open debate on campus yesterday and a huge, huge Huge turnout for really. conservative ideas that in this growing movement for free speech and individual liberty among college students. What do you think that the the turnout says about the conservative movement, especially among college students? Yes.
So I really think it combats the legacy media's narrative that conservatism is dying because yesterday showed us that it definitely is not. There is definitely a rising demand for alternative viewpoints And there's a growing frustration with the left grip on academia. And we really saw yesterday that these students want to get out and challenge those viewpoints and be able to express their own viewpoints and say that, hey, I'm conservative and it's okay. Is there anything in particular have you noticed the shift over the years? I mean, you sound fairly young yourself.
So over the past five or six years or so, so what have you noticed about the conservative movement? We see a lot of people, a lot of young students really reaching out to other young students and saying like it's okay to be like this. And we hold these traditional values And It's normal, it's okay. And we want to come out and say, you know, we want this intellectual diversity. And A lot of students, you know, they live in the same economy that we do and and they go to school full time.
So they they want to know it in a world that's thriving as well.
So These students are really Challenging the status quo. Lightly.
So you've got the data. We've had a lot of data that's surfaced from the presidential election, and it shows that young voters supported Kamala Harris by much smaller margins than they did Biden in 2020. Why do you think that is? What are the factors that are moving young people to the conservative movement, to the Republican Party? Yes.
So I think when Biden came on the scene in the presidential scene in twenty twenty, he kind of gave this moderate image. And by the end of twenty twenty four, Students were completely disillusioned with it. And then Pamela Harris came on, and she was further to the left than Biden. And it really just shows the Democratic Party's failure to address key issues like inflation, crime and student loan debt in a way that resonates with young voters. And then we have Charlie Firke, who really knows how to speak to them in a kind and respectful way and encourage their differing viewpoints from their professors and their liberal counterparts.
So what would you say are the top concerns, the top issues for voters and young voters in Tennessee? Yes, so a lot of young voters are concerned with the economy because, like I said, they live in the same economy we do, and they do have a lot on their plate. Um I hear a lot about The concern of free speech because they are oppressed in the classroom, and a lot of them are judged differently from their professors based on their viewpoint. I've had students tell me in like sociology classes, for example, they have to answer the questions the way the professor wants them to, even if they don't agree with it or if they know it's not right.
So There's a strong pushback against censorship and ideological conformity on campuses right now. And we really just want to encourage that and bring free speech back to campus.
Well, Hannah, we were very excited and congratulations, what a big day there at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. And it was always great it's always great to see that beautiful color of orange, a sea of orange. Absolutely. It was such a good time yesterday, and we encourage anybody in the country, any young students, to get involved with their local turning point chapters. All right.
Hannah Whitlow, ladies and gentlemen, the TP USA College Field Rep for the great state of Tennessee. Thank you very much, Hannah, and we wish you guys nothing but the best. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
We are waiting for the Senate to have that cloture vote. That should be happening any moment now. We're keeping an eye on that for you. And once that happens, we could expect some sort of a vote sometime by this evening. We shall see.
Democrats, certainly not very happy right now. I want to play some audio. From J.D. Vance. The vice president.
He is um Really masterful at dealing with these debaters. And there's been a lot of anger directed at the administration for ordering the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil.
Now, Khalil is the guy at Columbia University who has vowed to eradicate. Western civilization, and we don't want that kind of a person living in America, so we're sending this guy back to wherever he came from. Here is a J.D. Vance on that issue about free speech, cut number eight. a green card holder, even if I might like that green card holder, doesn't have an indefinite right to be in the United States of America, right?
American citizens have different rights from people who have green cards, from people who have student visas. And so my attitude on this is this is not fundamentally about free speech. And to me, yes, it's about national security, but it's also more importantly about who do we, as an American public, decide gets to join our national community. And if the Secretary of State and the President decide this person shouldn't be in America and they have no legal right to stay here, it's as simple as that. Do you see more such deportations happening?
I think we'll certainly see some people who get deported on student visas if we determine that it's not in the best interest of the United States to have them in our country.
So yeah, I don't know how high that number is going to be, but you're going to see more people. Yeah, I mean, and quite frankly, a whole lot more. I mean, I'm hoping we're talking about thousands of people because we know they're here. We know they've been led into the country. And if you don't love America, If you don't want to fight for the red, white, and blue, if you don't believe in our freedoms, then get out of here.
That's it. Here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Cut 10. When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, which is how this individual entered this country, as on a visitor's visa.
Okay, you are here as a visitor. We can deny you that visa. We can deny you that if you tell us when you apply, hi, I'm trying to get into the United States on a student visa, I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages. If you tell us that you are in favor of a group like this, and if you tell us when you apply for your visa, and by the way, I intend to come to your country as a student and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, anti-Semitic activities. I intend to shut down your universities.
If you told us all these things when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa. I hope we would. If you actually end up doing that once you're in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it. And if you end up having a green card, not citizenship, but a green card as a result of that visa while you're here in those activities, we're going to kick you out. Yeah, I've got no problem with that, Marco Rubio.
No problem at all. And by the way, this guy's doing a great job. Great job at the State Department. All right, I think we finally worked out the phone issue. Let's go to Dan in New Hampshire.
Hi, Dan. What's on your mind today?
Yes, yes, thank you. And there, you're right. If you import the third world, you become the third world. You know, so uh and and we can't back down, even if we can't be act scared. because I've been attacked a couple of times on the campaign trail And I will never stop.
I will never let them Beat me down.
So that being said, I love what Trump's doing and his people. Elon Marson Doge are kicking butts. I love what Cash Patel did, arrested a state employee, Arlen. Branley for uh changing people's voter registration cards to Democrat. Yeah.
So this was in Connecticut. You know, this is off the heels. of the election that was overturned in Bridgeport, Connecticut. for a fucking ballot. In the drop boxes.
at the eleventh ho hour.
So we we got to fix our elections. We have to fix the elections because there's a lot of corruption going on, and it's got to be we got to get rid of the machines. Uh in New Hampshire. They never got the permission from we the people. They brought in the dominion machine without getting a necessary two-thirds majority vote from we the people.
They changed who could vote in New Hampshire from New Hampshire citizens, inhabitants to Domo's Isle, which had no constitutional definition. Again, they didn't get the two-thirds majority vote. And then, on top of it, they changed absentee voting from they took off the necessary notarized affidavit proving who you are. Very important piece.
So it's kind of and nobody's accountable for the fraud.
So it's kind of like a two part theft right there.
So we have to clean up for our elections.
So thank you. And he he actually arrested three people last weekend. And the girls are doing great. Tulsi Gavin and Christy Noam, Tulsi's fired a lot of people. Christie's been arresting people and but This guy, Radcliffe Radcliffe, John Radcliffe, got to step it up.
Husky's pushing him and he's gonna move it because he's holding her up.
So he's going to step up to the plate.
So It it's terrible.
So, uh And I think you guys are in great hands as far as in the Congress. I just brought up my new Uh um twenty twenty four voting scores and Tim Burchett and the other guy, Andy Oglis, they're killing it. They're killing it.
So these are eight plus guys. They're warriors. And Tim Burchette is the kind of guy that will never back down. This guy is the ultimate warrior of all warriors. It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable. He's even called out the election prize. In in Arizona. And where are the guys in Arizona? You know?
Yeah. So that's that's yeah.
Okay. Yeah. Super late for a break here, Dan. But yeah, it's a good thought you bring up. And again, we've got to get control over the way we do elections.
And if we do not, we will be back where we were in 2020. And I still to this day believe that election was stolen. I believe it. And we've got to root out the corruption. That's what we've got to do.

All right, welcome back, everybody. So, Mr. Sarah McBride. The Congressman from Delaware Is really upset with all you Republicans. He's actually calling Republicans weird.
A man wearing a dress and pantyhose calling Republicans weird. Take a listen. Cut number two. I appear to live rent-free. in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.
I wish That they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower the costs. for American families. I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me. Figuring out how to make government actually work better rather than making it work worse. In order to prove that government can't work, they are obsessed with culture war issues.
The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre. And the American people deserve serious legislators, serious elected officials. who are focused on bringing people together. to deliver real results for the American people.
not to play games, and not to engage in schoolyard taunts. Excuse me, Congressman, I think your girdle's showing there, little um. I want to fix that if Maybe you accidentally pantyhost to, I think, when you had to go to the bathroom, you kind of stuffed your show. If you could fix that, please. You know, I find it interesting.
This guy talking about the Republicans being obsessed with culture war issues, this is the man who. Whose entire campaign was running on transgenderism. That was his entire message to get elected from the state of Delaware. I don't know what's wrong with the good people of Delaware, but that's who you wanted. And this guy was completely obsessed with the bathrooms.
Remember that? Before the guy even took office, took he was all over the fact that he wasn't able to use the ladies' bathrooms up on Capitol Hill. How dare you tell me where I can go pee? Who do you think you are, sir? Who left the okay, all right, which one of you transphobics left the seat up?
Hmm, who did that? And this guy is all over the place. Mr Sarah McBride. Congressman.
So I look. Um I sort of feel bad for this dude because he really did think that Kamala was going to win. And if Kamala had won, he would have been the new AOC of the Democrat Party. He would have been the face of the Democrat Party. He really would have.
But It turns out that the American people have finally decided: you know, this transgender stuff is just kind of weird, man. And it's gone way too far. And why are you why are you mutilating kids? What's up with that? Oh, by the way, speaking of this, Dieter, I got this, it is great.
Mark Halperin. He's got a thought or two about P. Booty Juice. You know, we said yesterday that Booty Juice, we told already, Booty Juice is looking at running for president. He wants to be the next president.
Here's Mark Alperin. Got to say it. He's short and gay.
So you can say winning the nomination, being short and gay, is a positive. And for some people, maybe not short, but gay is a positive. And I know for some people there is. There is going to be a premium for the party in 2028 on winning. It's just like 92.
There are going to be a lot of voters who are willing to swallow stuff in order to win. Hello. Because I don't like the fact, this fact. If this person can win. I've looked at the list of people who've won the presidency.
None of them were openly gay. Three were gay, but none were openly gay. And so it's just a risk. And in almost every presidential race, not everyone, but in almost every presidential race in the television era, the taller person is won. The Republican nominee in 2028 will be taller than Pete Buttig.
Okay, which is about everybody. He's a short little fellow. He could be like one of Snow White's friends. Look, really, is that true? We're going to talk about this after the top of the hour news.
We've had three gay presidents. Wait, what? That's what Halperin just said. Who are the three gay presidents? Do we know?
Is that information out there? I know we've had some short fellas, but I didn't realize we've already had three gay presidents. Come on. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926.

Tough starts for you. All right. Um We gotta speed it up here. Dieter. Prayer.
We've got to send you down to the basement. And make sure we've got all the provisions down there, just in case. The the apocalypse happens this afternoon. Who d who who's gonna tell you? A hundred million people are in the path of danger, of death.
We don't have a basement. Wait, what? Yeah. Wait, wait, what?
So there is no, we have a bunker, but the bunker is above ground. That's not good. Yeah. That's not good at all. All right, we've got to figure that out.
I'm working on, I have a shovel-out back. I'm working on building one. Can we get some volunteers? We're going to need a lot of help. There have got to be some K-Wham listeners, hopefully.
Out there that can help us out. Yeah, Dylan's like, Yo, do you know where you're going tonight? I was like, What do you mean? He's like, You've gotta have a base, man. I'm like, What are you talking about?
Turns out, Todd, I guess there's like tornadoes. And 100 million people are supposed to be affected by these storms? Yeah, it's going to be pretty bad, actually. And it's going to kick in. I mean, even here in the Memphis area.
But I think if I'm reading this correctly, it's really going to, I mean, it's going to impact a wide swath. But I think you folks in Alabama, Georgia, I know Dylan may be going to Dollywood. You may be riding a low-roll twister. That's the way that goes.
So be careful out there, ladies and gentlemen. That's all I'm saying. And listen to your local radio station. This is why radio is so vitally important because when the power goes out, you lose your Wi-Fi connection. Guess what?
The radio station is going to be there. And I know for a fact that KWAM, the news radio station in Memphis, they're going to activate their storm team and will be providing live coverage throughout the night.
So just listen to your radio stations. This is why radio is so vitally important. Not only that, we get to hang out with you. Hey, it's Open Line Friday. That means we talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Give us a call, 901-260-5926, our telephone number. Let's go to beautiful New Orleans. Miss Janice on the line. All right, Miss Janice. You ready for the storms?
I'm a little worried about the storms, I really am, but all I can do. is put my shutters down. I have shutters on the windows. And so all I can do is just pull my shutters down and And hope for the best, you know. But I don't know what's going on, Todd.
This is crazy. This entire year. has been crazy. It started New Year's Eve with Urban Street. with the terrorist attack.
And then in Nevada by Trump's one of Trump's buildings there, and they hit a man outside the building in a vehicle. I think he killed himself or something. And then it's just been it's just been horrible, the weather and everything that's been going on. And another thing that's crazy, and I don't understand why it's happening, Not occasionally, on a rare occasion. Yeah, okay, you might have a plane catch on fire or a plane crash.
But I was reading on my phone. I have an app that I recommend to everyone out there. It's called News break. And you put it on your phone, you put in your, you know, like, oh, yeah, yeah, news break, yeah. Yeah, and it gives you local news and national news and everything.
the other night I'm reading on uh news break and i saw about A plane crash. And I'm like, wait a minute. Wait, when did this happen? You know, sometimes you're reading something, but it's not current, it's something from weeks before or something.
So I I discovered it was from Sunday. Then I signed another one. It happened. Monday. And then of course We just had the other one.
Thirsty.
So that's three Plane events With deaths.
Some of them were with deaths. People died. In one week. It's absolutely unbelievable. Yeah, you know, it's really strange because I think in a lot of these, it just may be things happen.
I'm not, I don't know if there may be some sort of a weird, strange connection. But. But, like, for example, yesterday, the situation at Denver International with that American Airlines flight looks like an engine, they had a bad engine that caught fire. And we don't have all the details yet. Let me ask you this, Ms.
Janice. Would it I know you don't do a lot of traveling, but if you did travel, would you fly? Oh, well, I've never flown and I wouldn't now. My cousin said she never will ever again. And I've never been on a plane.
I don't want to be on a plane. But even if I had been before, I sure, surely wouldn't do it now. I wouldn't recommend to anybody. There's a local radio host here. He has family.
He's got a son and grandkids and all in in um Oregon. And he goes to Oregon, but I tell you, but it's just, oh, I hope nothing ever happens to him, you know? It's uh it's crazy. This whole year, it's the weather. It started with the terrorist attacks.
And I didn't know it, but I had seen that they had three New Year's. They had three lightning strikes at iconic places. Where the Tawas had been, and a couple of other places, three lightning strikes. And then you had your terrorist attacks. And then we've got this crazy weather with the blizzards.
and everything. And look what happened here around Mardigras. And then it's happening again tomorrow. I don't know what's going on. This shear is really odd, and the plane's crashing.
I just don't know what's going on. All we can do. Is just pray to God. Just pray that things will eventually settle down. Miss Janice, always good hearing from you.
Fear not, we're going to get through it. You're right. It is kind of weird. We had the blood moon here last night. Dieter, did you see that?
That was pretty impressive. No, I was teched in back. What does the blood moon mean? I don't know. I feel like there was a big moon.
Oh, bloody. Yeah. I'm just saying, maybe it is the end of days. That story on your website about the plane crash.
Well, it wasn't a plane crash. Let me back up. I don't want to freak Janice out any more than she's already more. And I'm nervous too, don't get me wrong. But it's an American airline.
They land, they descend, they're in Colorado, and then the engines simply combust. Boom. And they say, All right, everybody out of here. You gotta get off the plane. They pop open the sides of the plane.
Roll out the inflatable slides, and everybody just hops off. This is like what incident 45 this year?
So, here's what gets me though. My concern is this: so the engine is burning, the people are standing on the wings. Do they not understand where the fuel is stored on that aircraft? They're literally. They're literally standing on gasoline.
Yeah. I don't get that, but yeah, that was kind of weird. I'm just saying, it is kind of weird. Let's go to Kyle in Memphis. Hey, Kyle, what's going on?
Hey, Todd. Hey, man. Yeah, I was just going to touch on a little bit there of what. You had uh just a little while ago, you aired the the the f the footage there of that. Democrat.
Um, representative talking about how, you know, the the Republicans or conservatives or whatever are. Obsessed with the culture war, so to speak. And it's just so uh it's just ironic that well, the left is responsible for attempting to actually radically change the culture. over the last decade.
So I just find that funny. Yeah, essentially. What had been going on prior to, say, Obama coming in office was that corporate America. in general was Uh you know, running the the typical kind of capitalist uh American status quo in terms of just production Sales profit and repeat, production sales profit. And you work hard.
No matter what your skin color is, no matter if you're a man or woman, you work hard and you want to produce and make sales and profit and production, that's all that's necessary. That's all that's needed.
Well Sometime during the Obama administration. We had these nameless, faceless sort of idea logs that started popping up. actually over in Europe. That began to kind of pass along these weird progressive ideals that have nothing to do with meritocracy. and profit and production and everything to do with identity politics and all of these weird things.
basically how I started really kind of Looking into this, just a few weeks ago, there was a Mike Rowe podcast on. He had a. A guy from Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch. who has written a book recently. And he has come out and admitted all of these things that was happening with the Dylan Mulvaney can a few years ago.
That was not. desired position of the quote unquote American Bud Light stereotypical kind of beer.
Now this All of that. was not their decision. They were being pressured and brainwashed by an overseas European conglomerate called InBev, And all of those guys are these kind of nameless, faceless European oligarchs. That are obsessed. With all of these, progressive ideals And they have for years and years, they've already infected the universities and institutions in Europe, and they just simply wanted to start pushing it across the pond over here.
And it caught on. And this guy from Bud Light was telling all these tales. of how there was a lot of pushback from, again, the your standard corporate American Man and woman who are like, no, we just want to focus on producing a good, wholesome American beer. and selling it well. whoever wants to buy it, and that's all that matters.
But you have these people across in Europe, these wealthy Progressive oligarchs who know that they don't care about the profit. They just want to change the culture. They want to inject this weird. Quote unquote, weird, just like this Democrat guy was calling the Republicans weird. All these.
ridiculous, unnecessary ideas that have infected The university is in Europe, it's infected. The university is over here, and so it came from corporate Europe.
Okay, yeah, we got about 30 seconds here, Kyle.
So let's get to what so what are you trying to tell us? I'm I'm saying that it's just ironic that you have this liberal representative complain that it's the Republicans saying that they're obsessed with the culture war. When the culture was just fine until the liberals wanted to drastically change it. But check out this book. Anton Fredericks is his name.
He has a book written that's He's getting on about the Dylan Mulvaney can and how it has to do with corporate America being brainwashed by these European ideologues, progressive ideologues. It's really interesting. All right, folks. There we go. All right.
Thank you, Kyle. Folks, got to take a break. We'll be right back. Uh All right, welcome back to the Todd Starge Radio Show. I feel generous today, and we're going to do a little trivia before we jump into the mailbag.
What a, this is a good trivia question, too. Um, So get ready. Earlier this week, I told you about a country music band. That was told they could not perform a patriotic song on a Nashville TV station. It was a great conversation.
Can you name the band? The band we're talking about, this band was told they could not perform a patriotic song on a Nashville television station. If you can name the band, we're going to hook you up with a great prize out of the Todd Stern Show prize closet. Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
And if you've won something before, don't call it let somebody else win. All right, time now for the mailbag.
Now, this is a little weird, and I'm going to tell you why, Ben Teeter. Normally, we read my hate mail, but someone sent me Diana Harshbarger's hate mail. That's kind of weird.
So we had Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger on the Todd Stern show, and she was talking about how she knew these were fake protesters in her district at her town hall, because she said people in East Tennessee don't wear nose rings and they don't have purple hair. And that's true, actually.
So this guy was really upset. And wrote a letter to Diana Harshbarger and CC'd me, Todd Starz. Wow.
So we're going to read this to you. Dear Diana Harshberger, you must think the people of your district are really stupid.
Well, some of them are pretty dumb for voting for you and especially for voting Trump. After all we knew about him. From the first time as president. But even they are bright enough to know when they have been duped and now abused. Yeah.
The writer goes on to say, I could go on. He was calling Trump Hitler and blah, blah, blah, going after Elon Musk and blah, blah, blah. The guy, it's a pretty lengthy email. Musk is a horrible person. He has suggested bombing Mexico.
He suggested women should never be qualified to be pilots. And he said journalists who criticize him should be imprisoned.
Well, okay. I could go on, as there is so much more to say, but what's the point? You've obviously swallowed the Kool Aid as commanded by your cult leader. And to make matters even more vile, you are probably one of those who used the Bible to justify your choice. And like I said before, even those who voted for you recognize when they have been assaulted.
Signed Paul. CC Todd Stars.
Well, all right, there you go.
So that's your mailbag. I think that's a first for us. I've never read a congressperson's hate mail that was sent to us, I guess, intentionally. It wasn't by accident. The guy was pretty intentional about it.
So, all right, we try to read our fan mail as much as we can, and we'll try to do some more of that next week. All right, let's go to the phone lines here: 901-260-5926. Let's say hello to Cheryl in beautiful Ocala, Florida, listening to us on WOCA. Hi, Cheryl. How are you today?
I'm good. Thank you. Enjoying your show.
Well, thank you so very much.
Now, Cheryl, we had some guests on earlier this week and a country music band, and they were told they could not perform on WSMV TV, the NBAC affiliate in Nashville. It's a beautiful song. And they said the song was just too doggone patriotic. too political. Can you tell me the name of the band, Cheryl?
It's the Duggar brand, Duggar band with the Duggar Brothers. Yeah, wow, absolutely, and you even knew they were brothers. Congratulations, Cheryl. We're going to hook you up with one of my books here.
So well done, you. Can you believe that, though? I mean, we played the song on the show earlier this week, and I man, it was a great song. It sure is, it sure is, thank you. Cheryl, what is that noise behind you?
Do you need help? It's a foster parent. A foster what? Darrett.
So really?
So you're wait, how so how does that work? You're taking care of the parent for somebody else? I am. I've never heard of s wow, that's great.
So does the parrot have a name? His name is Alex, and he's like a two-year-old. He's very noisy when I'm on the phone. Wow.
So does the parrot talk? Yeah? Does Alex the parrot talk? He does. He does.
Oh, okay.
So I well, I just want to make sure we've got the you know, sometimes the parrots say naughty words, but we're we're on delay, so you know, but um, Alex is a pretty tame bird, you would say. He is, so just be careful what y'all are talking about over there because he listens to you every day. Oh, Gizalu. Oh, Gizalu. The birds probably saying, Gizaloo.
We'll work on it. That's not good. How long have you been doing this? Is this something that you've done for a while? No well, since Christmas and actually two days after Christmas, the man that owns the bird died, so I guess he is mine.
Oh, goodness.
Well, yeah, I guess that there's nowhere else to go.
So you're kind of adopting I don't know if there's a process to adopt a parrot, but I think you got yourself a bird for life there, Cheryl. I think so. He's a cutie.
Well, that's good to know. They're easy to deal with. I mean, as far as you know how cats are, you know, they're. I'm just wondering, is the bird easier than a cat? They're all pretty intense when they want your tension.
I see. I can imagine deeters like that. Here on the show. Just want to point that out. All right, Cheryl, we're going to put you on hold.
Congratulations. I love this. You never know where the conversations are going to go. I didn't realize you could foster parent a parrot.
So there you go. Dieter's going to get all your info. I want to book the parrot on the show. I'm reaching out and scheduling this Alex the parrot as your next guest. I love that.
Well, that might be fun.
Alright, let's see what we can do. If we get the parrot to say, Jeez, hello, geez, hello. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.
All right, welcome back to the Todd Starts Radio Show.
So, Senator Tom, tell us you folks in North Carolina. Your senator is getting a lot of hate mail. As a matter of fact, a lot of lawmakers, their phones are being deluged. With vile, vile messages.
Now, we've bleeped out a lot of this, but you're going to get a pretty good idea of the kinds of calls that your Republican leaders are getting. This is all part of a coordinated effort, ladies and gentlemen. All right? They want to.
Well, I want you to listen to this, and then I'll share a thought with you. Let's take a listen. Good afternoon, Senator Tillis. What do northern Warbecks think about you southern white trash? That's what the ones who won this Civil War think about you.
Do you understand that? It and through your Mm-hmm. That genes infect stupid. You and all your People. Yeah, Tom Gillis.
Afraid of death threats. Then get the f out of our I would like to talk to Tom Tillis and ask him why he thinks it's okay for him. to take money from this nation and it over. Why does he think that he can tell his employers to go their self every goddamn? day, all day long, and sell his god.
I get out. And f His employers over. Don't he know that his employers can take a fing act channel and cave his fing head in? And I suggest, well, you're gonna have to be very careful about going out in public or talking to anybody that's real, that's an actual American. Be careful.
We hate you. If I didn't have a broken back in Southern California, I would spend the rest of my life in federal prison for a chance to cut your Well Ladies and gentlemen, this is the party that espouses peace. Those are Democrats. And I'm telling you, you better pay very close attention here. You got to watch your back.
Make sure you've taken measures to protect yourself and your family because something bad is coming.
Something bad is coming, and we know that because the money is drying up. Elon and Donald Trump are going after, and they're targeting all of the grift, all of the corruption. And their cash cows. are getting slaughtered. There you go.
901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
That's just unacceptable. Unacceptable. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to Reagan Reese, the White House correspondent for the Daily Caller. Reagan, good to have you on the program today.
Yeah, thanks for having me. And I'm just curious, are you guys in the conservative sphere, are you guys a little concerned about the level of rhetoric coming not only from these regular run of the mill Democrats, but also Democrat leadership? No. Yeah, you know, um I think it's a really great example of what type of the state of the Democratic Party that they've resorted their their messaging seems to be cussing out people and dropping an F bomb and swearing at every opportunity they get. But I have been warning people, they do have some time to figure it out before the next presidential election.
And so once they do figure it out, I think it's going to be a real fight. And so I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't You know. Count the Democrats out even though they look like they are just going crazy right now with all the swearing and cussing they're doing. Reagan, and even last night, the vice president and the second lady going to the Kennedy Center, they were just the booing and the mocking.
It was just really, you know, it's really sad because there used to be something called decorum in this country, and you can't even go and enjoy a nice night out at the, you know, now the fair and balanced theater that the Kennedy Center is.
So it's really unfortunate. I want to turn, though, to something that you've been talking about and really doing a deep dive into the borders are Tom Holman and how he got to where he is. And it really is an amazing story. Yes, yeah.
So we had the opportunity to talk to Tom for 30 minutes. Do really get a really great snapshot. of how we got Town Home and the Borders are today. And it really starts in upstate New York, where he was a cop on the St. Lawrence River.
That just makes up a chunk of the New York and Canadian border. He's been fishing there with some cop buddies. When a Border Patrol agent came and docked on a nearby bay, and they started talking. And from there, Tom realized, you know, I want to be a Border Patrol agent. And that started his journey.
A couple of months later, he was an agent. Under President Ronald Reagan, this was 1984, and Reagan would be the first, the sixth president that. Coleman will would work for. He tried to retire once after working for President Obama. He was known as the Deporter-in-Chief under President Obama.
Uh and at his retirement party, he's shaking hands And his chief of staff comes in and says, Tom, you got an emergency phone call. You have an emergency phone call in your office, which is all packed up. It's boxed up, it's ready to go.
So he takes this last phone call. And it's John Kelly on the line, and he's telling Tom, it's just a couple of days before President Trump is about to be inaugurated for the first time. that he wants Tom to come back and lead ice. And Tom said, well, I need to think about it. I mean, I'm retired now.
I've signed a new contract for a nonprofit job. I need to talk to my family. And I took the weekend, and on Monday, we called Kelly back and said. You know what, I may. And that would just be the first time that Tom comes out of retirement for President Trump.
He came out of retirement eight years later, once again for President Trump and became the border star that we know today.
Well, it's a fascinating read. And folks, you can read Reagan's great piece on Daily Caller, DailyCaller.com, and it's a terrific profile. The name of the piece, Meteoric Rise, How a Fishing Trip and a Phone Call Made Tom Holman Border Czar.
So you're going to want to sit down and enjoy that great read over the weekend. You know, Reagan, as we look at the White House, of course, today, all eyes are on the Senate as they get ready to vote on whether or not to pass the continuing resolution. What is the mood there in the White House? Still upbeat? Yeah, I think the White House.
Honestly, over the last couple of months, even as they've had just so much to deal with from both the media and Democrats. has maintained this cheery positive deposition, and they just seem to be attacking everything with a really positive attitude. And so even as the Senate has been toying around with the CR and kind of threatening not to pass it, They have seemed rather cheery. The President is on his way right now to the Department of Justice, where he is going to be making a speech alongside Of Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Cash Fatell. And so, from what I've seen, I haven't really seen the White House sweating at all.
Are we getting any intel on what the President is going to be addressing, talking about in that speech? No, not really. The White House has been always rather tight-lit about what Trump's speeches are going to be talking about, but. Yeah, it's going to be a surprise to me, too, when we when he takes the podium and starts talking. All right.
Well, Reagan, we're going to leave it there. Reagan Rees, everybody, the White House correspondent for the Daily Caller. Reagan, thank you. Thank you. All right.
Well, there you go. Yeah, go read her piece over at dailycaller.com. That is a good read. You will enjoy that. All right.
We're going to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number. This is Open Line Friday. Again, that number, 901-260-5926.
You know, I was reading a piece just the other day about yet another conservative getting debanked. This is nuts. You would think that the big banks would already have figured this out, that this is the wrong path to go down.
So here's my philosophy on this, and it is taking some time to do. But our friends over at Timothy Plan, they are a great resource. Primarily because they have rooted through and they found out which companies are woke, which companies are not, which companies are giving to organizations and to ideologies that you might be against. And it's really creating a sort of an underground, conservative, faith-based economy. And I'm all for that, which is one of the reasons why I've been a big supporter of Old Glory Bank.
First of all, they're FTIC in short, right?
So, whatever your deposits are, they are going to be protected. And also, they're going to protect your privacy, your security, and your liberty. That's what I love about them. Dr. Ben Carson, Larry Elder, John Rich, they co-founded Old Glory Bank in 2022.

To this Mark Halperin thing. I want to know who our gay presidents were. He says there are three three of our presidents were gay. And I think s people are saying James Buchanan is one of them. But I d I don't know who the other two are.
I'm using ChatGPT and Google. And I'm trying to Yeah, you see James Buchanan. JFK, no Marilyn. Come on. Maybe he was a little.
Yeah, he was a ladies' man. He was a ladies' man. What about The initials B H O Hmm B H O What does Chad GPT say about BHO? We need to grok that.
Well, let me see. Yeah, I see the rumors. Also, remember it was a big story where they were saying, oh my gosh, Bill and Hillary Clinton flank. Oh, Hillary met well. No, but she wasn't.
Hillary loves a pantsuit, and you know what they say.
Well, there were, yeah. Bill definitely was a heterosexual male. Abraham Lincoln now. Joseph's Monica. Monica can vouch for me.
Remember, they said Abraham Lincoln was also gay. It was the LGBT activist came out with the documentary on HBO, I believe it was, last year, because he just wrote someone. He wrote a lot of letters.
So they pulled all of these letters to some guy, and they were like, oh, he was cheating on Mary Todd, which was a debunk lie.
So I think they're stretching, and I don't want to say Mark Calpert is stretching. But It seems like a stretch. It does, right? It does seem like a stretch. I don't see why you wouldn't just drop the names.
I mean, there had been some rumors of a couple of lesbians in the First Ladies. You know, world. Again, not to bring up, I don't think Pantsuit is. I don't think Hillary was. I mean, there have been rumblings.
Eleanor Roosevelt, though. They were always talking about Eleanor Roosevelt. Let's go back and listen to Mark Halperin. This is what we were talking about. Mark Halperin weighing in on Pete Booty Juice deciding to run for president in twenty twenty eight and why that's a bad idea.
Cut number one. Got to say it. He's short and gay.
So you can say winning the nomination, being short and gay, is a positive. And for some people, maybe not short, but gay is a positive. And I know for some people there is. There is going to be a premium for the party in 2028 on winning. It's just like 92.
There are going to be a lot of voters who are willing to swallow stuff in order to win. I don't like the fact that if this person can win. I've looked at the list of people who've won the presidency. None of them were openly gay. Three were gay, but none were openly gay.
And so it's just a risk. And in almost every presidential race, not everyone, but in almost every presidential race in the television era, the taller person is won. The Republican nominee in 2028 will be taller than Pete Buttig.
So, this is interesting. My question, which is really twofold here: would you vote for a short man for president? Right. I mean, when you think about it. I'm I mean, I think everybody's been fairly tall.
You know, it's interesting. George H.W. Bush, I think, was our tallest president in modern American history, maybe LBJ. But I'm just curious: would you vote for? For a short President I mean, what's and it's funny that Halperin, who's actually a, you know, he's a middle-of-the-road guy.
Well, he leans left. But he means well. But I'm curious what, you know, again, to his point, he's saying basically Pete Booty Juice has two strengths against him: number one being gay and number two being short. But I wonder which is the worst. I mean, in the minds of the voters, you see, I'm not even sure that really plays in anything unless that becomes the campaign issue.
I'm just curious. Hey, let's go to the phone lines. Jim from Jackson, Tennessee. Hi, Jim. What's on your mind today?
Well, good afternoon, sir. That's my aka for today. Ah. I want to say, after you play those audiobites of the Democrats that's so angry, and there's just a thought, there's been some suggestion of taking fluoride out of city water. And I think maybe they should do that, but replace it with Valium.
so that some of these folks can relax a little bit and get a grip on what's going on really relax a little and and not have such a knee jerk emotional reaction, you know. And maybe we could get a bill starter like that, replace fluoride with valium for Jim, I think we ought to do that for everybody. I like that idea. Hey, let's see. Maybe we can get something going here.
I love it. I've been having a bless weekend. Jim, you do as well. Be safe. Those tornadoes are going to be spinning up soon, so you be safe out there in Jackson.
Great area, by the way. But man, the tornadoes love Jackson for some reason. Oh, by the way, Dieter, Jasmine Crockett. She's very concerned about the illegals. Jasmine is.
She's concerned because if we get rid of them, there won't be anybody to pick our crops. Let's take a listen. Cut some of you are sending your kids to college to go and work on Okay, well guess who is working the farms so that you can afford your food Now how many of you are looking to send your kids into hospitality after this college education so they can go and make the beds at the hotels How many of you are planning to send your kids to college? Because that's what we do here. We send everybody to college How many of you are planning to send your kids to college so that they can then go and build these houses?
So the reality is that so long as we live in a capitalist society, there's always going to be someone or a group of people that will do work that some of the rest of y'all don't want to do. These are the people that are really making us great in this country. All right. So again, looking at the numbers here, what I find fascinating is that about 44% of the farm workers are actually illegals. They're undocumented.
And my response to people like Jasmine Crockett, which sounded a little bit xenophobic to me, well, who's going to clean our houses? Who's going to pick our cotton? Yeah. Now I want you to think about something for a moment. Let's just say we get rid of all the illegals.
All the illegals go back home to wherever they are. And there are no people to do those jobs. And again, if you're talking about 44% of all farm workers, oh, and the construction industry is actually there are more illegals in construction than there are in the ag industry.
So I just want you to think about something for a moment. What are we going to do? It is actually a fair question. You lose half of the ag workers in America. Who's going to be doing those jobs?
And you heard Jasmine Crockett say those are jobs that Americans don't want to do. May I just posit this idea here? America's gotten lazy. Very lazy. Americans, by and large, do not have the work ethic that our moms and dads had, grandparents had, great-grandparents had.
We're getting lazier every single generation. And I say it's time to buck up. And you know what? If you don't get out there, and here's the thing: if you're not going to get out there and you're not going to pick the avocados, well, you're not going to have the avocado toast. I mean, it really is that simple.
So, jobs are out there if you want them. Folks, got to leave it there. It has been a wild day. Don't forget to head over to ToddSterns.com. Make a donation today to help our friends at Food for the Poor.
