Trump to Defy Judge, Will Keep Deporting Violent Illegals

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. Sir. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Stearns.

Well, hello, Americans. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Trust you had a great weekend. We've been busy around this joint trying to fill out our NCAA basketball tournament brackets. We'll share some more intel about that a little bit later on during the program.

But today is a huge day, by the way, a lot of news that broke over the weekend and into the, wow, just the past couple of hours. President Trump is now going to defy the Barack Obama federal judge who ordered him to return violent illegal aliens back to America.

So, we're going to get into that story in just a little while as well. But first, it's a big day, and it's always a big day here on the Todd Stearns Radio Program when we can welcome brand new radio stations into our family. And we have two that we want to welcome into the family today. That would be News Talk 1400, WINC, Winchester, Virginia. By the way, Winchester's very first radio station, First in the Valley.

Keeping you folks informed, we are now live on News Talk 1400, and we just are so excited about chatting with all of you fine folk in Virginia. And also, Patriot Talk 920 in Houston, Faith, Family, Freedom, KYST, fine people down in Patriot Talk 920 country. And here's what We do on this program. For the entire week, if you call in from one of those two radio stations, we will hook you up with a Todd Stern Show prize swag bag.

So, we're going to give you a signed copy of one of my books. We're going to give you a beautiful, beautiful, trust me on this, folks, Gulf of America vintage postcard. You're going to love it. And just our little way of saying welcome to the neighborhood.

So, again, if you make it on the air, call in, talk to Miss Cassie, and she puts you on the air, then we're going to hook you up with one of those wonderful welcome to the radio show prize packs. By the way, write down our telephone number. You will need this today: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

So, look, here's the disturbing news over the weekend. President Trump is delivering on the campaign promises, and that campaign promise was to remove. Very dangerous, violent, illegal aliens from America. And that's exactly what happened over the weekend. You had the President filling up at least three planeloads of illegals and sending them back to where they came from.

That would be Ecuador. And the Ecuador government has been very, very appreciative. As a matter of fact, we're paying them a few dollars, and they're housing these violent, illegal, alien criminals, these gangs, and some of their most dangerous Dangerous jails.

So, anyway, it seems to me that's a pretty good thing, right?

So, the president has actually been using a very little known. Law that's been on the books for a very long time to do all of this. And I say good for the president.

So this goes all the way back to the year of our Lord, 1798. Yeah. When the president The President invoking the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight. And it's a very clear, very straightforward policy. And this is what the Alien Enemies Act is all about.

And you're going to hear a lot about this, but I just want to cut right to the chase. This gives the President wide powers to imprison and deport noncitizens in a time of war.

Now the legacy media, the folks over at MSDNC and the Democrats are going to argue, but we're not at war. These are just good people. They just want to come to America and they want to pick our routabegas. No, these are very dangerous people. I want you to understand what's been happening over the past 30, 40 years in this country.

Our nation's borders have been breached, American sovereignty violated, we have been invaded, millions of illegals have laid siege, and they now occupy large swaths of the nation. As a matter of fact, you folks in Houston know all about this. American citizens are being killed on American soil by the illegals. Thousands of women and children have been victims of trafficking, and millions of Americans have either been killed or they've been addicted by the fentanyl that's been coming across the border. which is more dangerous than the bombs.

Sure.

So ladies and gentlemen, I would contend that we are at war. And President Trump is well within his rights to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to depo to deport all the illegal aliens. But now you've got this federal judge out there, and he was appointed to the bench by Barack Hussein Obama. And this judge is saying, well, no, you don't have a right to do that. You've got to turn the planes around.

And the president said, I'm not doing that.

So today you're going to be hearing a lot about this: that we are facing a constitutional crisis, that President Trump is defying the federal courts. There is no constitutional crisis. President Trump is well within his rights. And I say keep on, keep it on, Mr. President.

Fill up those airplanes and ship them on out. Every last one of them. Over the weekend.

Some polling came out from NBC News, and the Democrat Party is in a tailspin right now. A very tiny amount of the American people actually support the efforts of the Democrat Party. What is it? 7%? 7% of American voters have a very favorable opinion of the Democrat Party.

I'm surprised it's that high, but we've got a lot of morons in the country.

So, I say that because the reason why the Democrats. have a favorability problem is because of their policies. And I want to play some audio. We've got Jasmine Crockett, the faux ghetto woman, the woman pretending to be ghetto when she is not. Congress gal Jasmine Crockett on CNN with Jake Tamper, and she's taking the side of the violent illegal criminals.

Cut to. To deport undocumented Venezuelans that the administration say are dangerous individuals with ties to the gang at Trenda Ragua. That gang is obviously associated with a lot of crime, human trafficking, drug dealing, theft, shootings, including, and your state of Texas, right outside of your congressional district. Do you agree with this? And if not, what's your issue with the U.S.

using any tool of its disposal to remove? undocumented violent people from this country.

Well, my argument is that we already have tools that are available to remove undocumented, violent people from our country. And so, the idea that you want to go into a zombie law-this is kind of like what we saw in Arizona when they decided to revive a zombie law around abortion. It is the fact that we can't trust this administration to actually use a scalpel, but instead, they love to use a butcher knife on things. And so, giving them this wide latitude to just kind of go across and just claim that anybody is anything is wrong. And so, we do have courts, we do have processes, we do have laws, and we should just go ahead and use those.

There's a reason that nobody else has decided to go back until Adam's times in order to try to find ways to make sure that we can keep our country safe. The law is on the books, madam. And therefore, President Trump has every right to use whatever measures are available to him to deport the criminal element. And again, on this radio program, ladies and gentlemen, you step foot into this country without our country's permission, you're a criminal. I don't care who you are.

You have to come here the right way. I've always believed that. From day one. But I want to go back to something Jasmine Crockett, the faux ghetto person, by the way, she sounds very reasonable, right? See what I mean, ladies and gentlemen.

One minute, she's talking about Trump being Putin's hoe, and the next she's having a very rational conversation, albeit she's completely off the mark bonkers, crazy. But again, she plays to whatever crowd she's speaking to. I got big problems with folks like you can't trust people like that. You can't. Look at Willard Mitt Romney coming down to the South and talking like he's a Southerner.

We know that's not true. Pretending that he liked grits, we know that not to be true. No one likes grits, sir. Not from the box. What's wrong with you?

But I digress. Going back to this, she says that Trump is using a butcher's knife instead of being surgical. I would contend that both are happening here. And both have to happen here. Because without secure borders, We will not have a country, and Donald Trump knows that.

And I don't know what's going on in the mind of that federal judge where he says that we've got to deal with dangerous gang members back on our streets. Come on, man. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926, our telephone number. Do you think Trump did the right thing here in defying the federal judge?

Trump says, Yeah, we're not doing that. Yeah, if you're here in this country illegally, you're going back to where you came from.

Well, let's go to Houston, Texas. Mike, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Mike, welcome to the show. Oh, it's so great to be able to listen to you live. Up to now you can come in on, you know, in the evening Tape delay, but now you're live and in person.

It's great to be able to listen to you. When the show is actually being broadcast and then possibly calling in, like I did, and I actually got through.

Well, Mike, we're just honored to be live in Houston. It's going to be a lot of fun. And I know you guys have a lot of opinions in Houston, especially on the immigration issue.

Well, yeah, you mentioned that earlier, brought to mind. And I'm speaking from first hand experience. I mean, I could tell you all kinds of illegal alien stories, But two times so far in the grocery store, There was a young millennial uh illegal alien couple with two or three kids They don't speak the language. They got a basket that's overflowing with groceries. And the female paid for the groceries with her EBT card.

The first one was thirty cents shy. and the guy wither reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash that would choke a horse. and he had to thumb through until he found a bill small enough to give to the cashier. And it was a few months later, the same the same identical thing happened, only she was like a dollar or so short. And He had to the guy fund through, found the bill you know, made it good and they left.

Well, the second time I asked the cashier, she was she was probably in her forties I said, did that woman just pay with an EBT card?

Well, she said, Well, she tried to, but she was just a little bit short, so her uh husband had to make up for it. And I just looked at her and I said, You don't see anything wrong with that? And she goes, No, why? I says. That's your tax dollars hard at work paying for their groceries.

That's it. And they can't even speak our language. Mike, that's it in a nutshell. And hopefully, that woman, you educated her. And that's really a big part of this process: educating people and letting them know: hey, you're paying for that.

You're having to go to work every single day. You bust your rear end. And yet, all of these other folks are out there. They don't even live in our country. They don't even speak our language.

They're not even trying to make an effort. And they're taking from us. And those days are over. And I say, God bless Donald Trump for doing that. Mike, I've got to take a break here, my friend, but we want to hear from you again.

Don't go anywhere because, as promised, I want to hook you up with a Todd Stern Show welcome package.

So hang tight and the lovely Miss Cassie will get to you. Folks, we do have to take a quick break. Phone lines are now open. And again, if you are calling in from News Talk 1400 in Winchester, Virginia, if you're calling in from Patriot Talk 920 in Houston, we're going to hook you up today with a special welcome to the radio show prize package. 901.

Everything that's With regards to the Vietnamese boat people, those who are genuine refugees, and that is determined again by the United Nations, will not be returned. Those who are illegal immigrants, those who are illegal immigrants, will be returned, and it is customary international law for countries to receive their own immigrants back into their country. And if the right honourable gentleman is suggesting that we ever get to a position when you cannot return illegal immigrants to their country of origin, then he is proposing international chaos. Yeah, that's Margaret Thatcher, ladies and gentlemen, and she knew exactly what she was talking about. If you look at what's happening across Western Europe right now, we are watching really a civilization suicide happening in places like France, Belgium.

the UK, really all across Western Europe right now, where the Islamic mob has completely taken over many of those countries. By the way, Tom Holman, our great border czar, just a few moments ago, Said this on the On the lawn of the White House, someone said, What do you say to people that are upset that you're using a 200-year-old law to circumvent due process? And Homan said, An old law, it's not as old as the Constitution, and we still pay attention to that. Yes, we do, Tom Homan. Yes, we do.

And I say, God bless you for standing strong and standing up for the American people and securing our borders. Thank you. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I have a question for All of you Black Trump supporters. And we have a lot of. A lot of Black folks that listen to this radio program, especially in Memphis, Tennessee, on our flagship station, KWAM. Don Lemon was on Bill Maher's show the other day, and Don Lehman, who is an unemployed.

Heck. Targeted all of you. All of you black Trump supporters. And he said that that really You can't be black and B MAGA, CUP 13. the same thing that I when I see Not all black Republicans, but I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump's water and they know that he's lying, it is the shortest line to the front.

Because i if you're black and you're whatever, any you're just in line with a bunch of other Democrats that are doing the same thing that that you're doing. But if you become a black MAGA person, it's like, whoa, let's book this person, let's put them on television.

So you don't think you can be a sincere black MAGA person? Uh no, I no, I I just said, I I don't think that I just said I think there can be sincere Republicans. But you can't be a sincere black Republican. I don't think that you can be a rational MAGA. Be black and be a rational MAGA person.

I think you can be black and be a Republican. I think they would find that very insulting.

Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting. But is that the truth? And I'm curious to hear from our black listeners out there of the Todd Starns radio program. What do you say to people like Don Lemon out there suggesting that Like Donald, like Joe Biden did, right? If you don't vote for me, you're not black.

Remember that nonsense?

So, I'm curious: what do you say to people like Don Lemon and why do you support President Trump and the America First Movement? Give us a call, we'd like to hear from you. And again, welcoming our brand new listeners in Houston and Winchester, Virginia, News Talk 1400, and Patriot Talk 920. Welcome to the family. We're going to be celebrating you guys this week and all of our great, great radio stations across this nation.

Not all. Not at all. They simply rely on the gifts of good Christian folks. All right. Let's get to Nancy.

Nancy Mace. What a crazy story. Nancy Mace. getting her kid ready to go to college. And she made a stunning discovery.

It turns out that when they were applying, making the applications for college, that there were 13 possible genders that her child could sign up for. 13 possible genders. Uh Now I'm sure President Trump would love to hear about this, and we'd like to know why federal tax money in South Carolina is going to fund any university that gives students an option to identify as thirteen different genders. That's absolute insanity. They're talking of it's it's crazy.

So Nancy Mace is alerting everybody to what's happening in the state of South Carolina right now, and I have to wonder if it's happening elsewhere. And that brings me to this story out of Illinois, Deerfield, Illinois. A very angry mom showed up at the school board. Yeah. And it turns out that A group of middle school girls at Shepherd Middle School in Deerfield, Illinois, that's a suburb of Chicago.

They were Forced, understand this is the key word here. Forced to To undress in front of a boy who identifies as a girl. Yeah. And the girls refused. They said, we're not going to do that.

And then the girls were reprimanded.

So the mom shows up at the school board meeting. Yeah. To complain, cut number one. My name is Nicole Georges, and I'm here to demand that the locker rooms and bathrooms at District 109 be designated as biological male and biological female, as there already is a gender-neutral option. The girls want their locker rooms and bathrooms back.

They want their privacy back. This is why I'm here tonight. My 13-year-old daughter's well-being and mental health and privacy is at stake. This nightmare began on February 5th when my daughter was using the girls' bathroom and was stunned that a biological male student was using it as well. She came home frightened and was extremely upset.

I asked her to talk with her teachers and find out more information. She was told by the administration that a student can use a bathroom as well as a female locker room because they now identify as female. I was sent an email to the teachers involved in receiving a call from Principal Wegley. He verbally reiterated that, under Joanna Ford's direction and their legal counsel, the student could use both the locker room and bathroom. I expressed that the school was in clear violation of federal policy.

The Trump administration issued an executive order restricting biological males from participating in sports and accessing female locker rooms. That day, I filed a civil rights complaint on behalf of my daughter with the Department of Justice. It has now been referred to the Department of Education. A federal complaint has been filed with the district to protect the students. The situation went from bad to worse.

A few days later, the male student was present in the girls' locker room. Feeling violated, the girls made the choice to not change into their PE clothes with a biological male student present. The next day, Assistant Principal Kathy Vantrice pulled the girls into their office, questioning them. The same day, Assistant Superintendent Joanna Ford, Kathy Vantrice, and multiple teachers all came into the girls' locker room, making them change into uniform. This went on all week with the addition of Ginger Laugerman.

My daughter refused to take part in having her privacy being violated. How dare they? She ran out and called me for help. Principal Wegley answered, was. Answered, we're offering my daughter a new answers.

Was offering my daughter a new PE class. The answer was no. She is not changing for the remainder of the year, and she is not changing into another class. The girls just want their privacy and they want their locker room back. There are gender-neutral options.

This is my daughter's story, and the story of many other young girls who have been forced at the difficult age to do something they know and most adults know is wrong: do the right thing, Deerfields, and give these girls their locker room and bathrooms back. Allowing biological males to access girls' locker rooms sets a dangerous precedent that erodes the very foundation of female privacy and safety. By making this decision, the school board is not only disregarding the concerns of young female students and making their families, but also establishing a legal and policy framework that will make it increasingly difficult to protect the integrity of female-only spaces in the future. All right. Well said, ma'am.

That is Nicole Georgias. And It said that she had to go to the school board and raise this issue. But it seems to me that you got a couple of issues here. First of all, forcing young girls to disrobe in front of a boy is not just unacceptable. That, ladies and gentlemen, is criminal.

And those three school administrators involved should be fired, and then they should be arrested and thrown in jail. Because that's what would happen if an adult did something like that outside of the schoolhouse. But again, your public schools, by and large, hate to break this to you, have been turned into these radical, perverted, pornographic, sex and gender propaganda centers. That's what's happening in your public schools. The other question I have here: where are the dads?

It seems to me that you would have every dad in the school district there at the school board meeting raising holy you know what. Instead, they leave it up to the moms. On top of that, The moms were actually in the minority because every transgender rights group and you knew who they were because they were all wearing the face coverings, just like the Islamic Radicals. They were wearing the face coverings and they were there to defend the rights of men to violate the sanctity of the ladies' room and the girls' locker room. But again, all of this is now in violation of President Trump's executive order.

It is time to take immediate action. And this is my problem with the administration. We're not moving fast enough on some of these issues. We need to forget about pussyfooting around. Forget about just if you do it one more time.

No, no, no, no more times. That's it. No more. We're not going to give you a second chance, a third chance. You go in and you violate these sweet, precious, innocent girls.

You lose all your federal tax money. Best of luck to you. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Charles in North Carolina, listening to us on WSIC.

Hi, Charles, what's going on? Hey, happy Saint Patrick's Day, Todd. Dodge, something I've been thinking about all weekend regarding these judges. saying that President Trump can't do this, they can't do that. Where do they get the legal authority to think that they can countermand an executive order or have any?

authority to over the executive branch. I don't know. Maybe you'll have a guest on later today that's more versed in constitutional law than me. You know, there's three co-equal branches of government: legislative, judicial and executive. And this is a federal district court judge.

And A federal district court judge. is not the equivalent of the United States Supreme Court. These judges have jurisdictions in a specifically defined district that has boundaries. And their decisions apply or should apply only to that district. not the entire United States.

If that's allowed to happen, what's the point of even having an election or even having a president? But In my opinion, it is these judges that are overstepping their boundaries, and they are the ones that are acting unconstitutionally. And I think President Trump Todd just needs to ignore the executive order Any executive, I mean, any order from a district court judge from this point forward. President Trump just needs to say, I'm not going to abide by it. Only the U.

S. Supreme Court has the equivalency of the of the executive branch.

So we'll see you in court. Yeah, look, this is rule by judicial fiat, is what's going on here, Charles. And this is where I have a big problem. There is a remedy here, and that remedy is actually the House of Representatives. Congress has the authority to impeach these federal judges, and we've got to play hardball.

There is so much not happening right now on Capitol Hill in the House of Representatives. And I know that President Trump, and I get the play here. The president is trying to nurture Mike Johnson and to basically help build up his self-esteem by giving him these wins. But Mike Johnson has to lead with ferocity. Charles, are you seeing the ferocity from Mike Johnson?

No, no, Todd, I'm not. I mean, I'm seeing progress, but it's more rhetoric than actual rhetoric. That's exactly what it is. And I'm just worried that if we don't start taking a hard line right now. We're going to squander this one opportunity That we have to get this country back on the right trajectory.

But you're exactly right as far as. the courts go in the House of Representatives. You know Congress created the courts. The U. S.

Congress created these appellate courts and lower courts. And they can impeach these judges, they can defund them, they can do a lot, they can abolish them if they want to.

So, look, here's Charles. Let me jump in here.

So, here's how it works: you impeach, you have a trial. And a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate is required for conviction and removal. You're looking at, and here's what a federal judge can be impeached on: treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors. I would say that forcing the president to return violent domestic terrorist or violent terrorists back to America, that would rise to the level of treason and high crimes and misdemeanors in my book. Oh, absolutely.

And in my book too, Todd. And they need, it's not about whether the judge gets the three-quarters or two-thirds conviction in the Senate to be impeached. It's about just starting the process and just doing it and making an example of these judges. Because that will serve as a warning. to these activist cores in San Francisco and Washington and New York.

where they all originate from, and we know what they're trying to do, you know? That's it. Charles, got a run. Great hearing from you. And our WSIC listeners know the radio station's working on fixing some upgrade to the signal.

So hang tight to their working super hard. And we always love hearing from all of our great listeners over in WSIC land. That's a statesville, North Carolina. All right. Here's the deal.

Well, I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and welcome in Congressman Chuck Edwards, a Republican representing North Carolina's 11th congressional district. Congressman, good to have you with us. Happy St. Patrick's Day. It is great to be with you.

Thanks for having me.

So, Congressman, you made national news over the past week or so with this town hall in Asheville, which is, you know, we tried to describe Asheville, and I'm a Southerner. We tried to describe it as the San Francisco of the South. There are a lot of liberals there, but this town hall that you hosted, Congressman, that was a pretty shocking thing that happened.

Well, I certainly felt compelled to go into the belly of the beast, as it has been called, in liberal territory there in Asheville, North Carolina. and talk about what the Republicans are doing, what we're doing to address the American First Agenda. And uh how We're approaching things differently under the Trump administration. Congressman, there's been a lot of concern, and I know that the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, among others, urging you guys not to do these town hall meetings because basically it's a setup. I mean, do you believe that an overwhelming number of the people that were in that room were good old Republicans as has been reported?

Oh, absolutely not. The folks that were in that room and the two or three thousand people that were swarming the building outside Bard. Most certainly Not Representative of the district that I represent here in Western North Carolina. They were by and large. uh leftist liberals.

So so why do that? Why hold the town halls? Are are you not concerned that these could be used against you as campaign videos, people suggesting, oh, look at all the Republicans, they're going after Congressman Edwards?

Well, there's some real simple reasons that I decided to do the town hall. First of all, I'm responsible to the people in Western North Carolina. I don't answer to the people in Washington, DC. I felt compelled to do the town hall because Number one, our district was hit But he's um A natural disaster back in September, the worst natural disaster in the history. of Western North Carolina.

I believe town halls are a time or should be a time to pull people together. The other reason that I went ahead with the town hall is because Republicans have a great story to tell right now. I don't think that we should shy away from it. I think that we need to be out front and center talking about what we've accomplished, talking about what we intend to accomplish, to be proud of those accomplishments. And I was glad to march into that town hall and go toe to toe with the leftists for all twelve rounds.

Do you know? think that accomplished something? And if so, what exactly did did you accomplish? First thing I think it accomplished is I'm not afraid of those leftists. I took them on head to head They tried to intimidate me to not do the town hall.

They tried to intimidate me. They went into that town hall with the intent. of getting me to leave early. I think I certainly showed them we showed them that we have the courage to stand with them. And we also have the courage to stick behind their convictions in that uh We need to close our border.

We need to get our country's fiscal State. back intact. We need to regain world dominance And we need to make our neighborhoods Safer. I'm not shying away from those issues. Those are the issues of today.

And I'm not going to back down off of them. Congressman Chuck Edwards on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. I'm just curious to get your take on this NBC News poll. In the history of their polling, Democrats have never polled this low. Only 7% of Americans have a very favorable rating of the Democrat Party.

Why do you think that is? I believe that the extreme Democrats have left mainstream Americans. Americans just don't believe in the types of things that are being promoted by leftist Democrats right now. Americans want a secure border. Americans Want Our country to regain its strength.

Americans want to reduce prices. Americans want. fiscal responsibility. Americans Are not taking to the issues like allowing men to Participate in women's sports. The radical has just gotten too radical.

And normal Americans are now recognizing that. Gotcha. Yeah. I well, I I think I think that is the case. And when you're siding with the violent illegal alien criminals over the safety of the American people, I'm surprised that the numbers are as high as seven percent.

Well, that's I believe that's seven percent of the folks that are going to do what they're told by some of the extremists regardless. And a good portion of those aren't just taking time. to really look at what's taking place. They're just read reading the uh leftist Media headlines and uh Taking their information from Facebook. Did I read, Congressman, that you actually are a longtime operator of McDonald's franchises in Western North Carolina?

Is that true? Yeah. I started behind the counter at McDonald's at the ripe old age of 16 and learned the value of hard work and had the good fortune to uh to come back and buy my own restaurants. Is that right? That's fascinating.

Well, I I'm just curious, did you guys see a bump when President Trump worked the drive-through? I can't say I was paying close enough attention. What I was doing at that time is trying to help Western North Carolina dig out from under a storm that we experienced back in September. Right, yeah. And we've been covering that quite a bit here on this program.

Well, Congressman, we appreciate you coming on the show, and good luck to you as you continue to hold these town hall meetings. I hope you have security. We certainly have security, but I'm more secure in the fact that we are addressing the agenda of the American people. And I think, by and large, The American people are behind us. All right.

Congressman Chuck Edwards from North Carolina's 11th congressional district, and he also owns a. Couple of McDonald's franchises. I like that. That's a pretty cool story. Congressman, we're going to leave it there.

Always appreciate you, and good luck to you. All right, thanks so much. Thanks for having me.

All righty. There you go, folks. Yeah, uh, look, here's the deal, Republicans, you can't be doing these town hall meetings. And I saw what happened at Congressman Edwards, and that was criminal, what they did to this man. Criminal, and it became.

There was almost a riot, is what it was. I mean, and the concern I have is when they did a pan out.

Somebody shared this video with me and they showed what was really going on in this room. There were just as many reporters there with cameras. It was all a setup. And let me tell you something, folks. The American people, by and large, I'm not talking about the Todd Stearns radio show audience.

You guys are the smartest, most politically savvy radio audience in America. But you get a lot of folks out there. They're not paying attention to anything. They have short-term memory. That's one of the reasons why Gavin Newsom is out there trying to convince everybody he's actually a Republican.

He's not. But Gavin Newsom knows what I'm about to tell you: that the American people, they're not paying attention. They have short-term memories. And what they're going to see in the midterm elections, hear me on this, they're going to see videos of all of these town hall meetings, and they're going to portray it as Republicans rising up. against far-right extremists in Congress.

And you know what? People are going to buy it hook, line, and sinker. They do it all the time.

So that's why we've got to play smart politics here. And I'm not sure what the congressman thinks he is going to be accomplishing. I mean, I respect the idea of having a town hall, but if your town hall is going to be hijacked. For political purposes, What's the point? All right, 901-260-5926.

Before we go to break, I want to go to Marvin, listening to us in Oregon on KYKN, wants to weigh in on our other big story: this crazy story about girls, middle school girls, being forced to undress in front of a boy in their locker room. Marvin. Can you believe that? Nah, I guess I can this day and time. But anyway, my point is on this.

I think these teachers and all of them. That condone this and push it, I think they're pedophiles. And I think this turns them on.

So you think this is all part of some sort of um Pedophilia Yeah, I do. Could be. You know, this is. Marvin, this is one of the under-reported stories. Is when you, you know, I know that everybody loves to go after churches and Boy Scout groups and whatever.

I get that. And quite frankly, if you're doing stuff to children, you deserve to be called out on it and you deserve to be held to the fullest extent of the law. But the one area where it's happening the most is the one area they're not talking about, and it's the taxpayer-funded public schools. Yes. Yes, exactly.

And I think their computers ought to be Checked. There it's a public computer. And I think it ought to be checked for pet websites. Have you noticed also, Michael or Marvin, what's been happening here over the past, wow, a couple of years, where most of the predators in the schools are now women, and most of the administrators that are backing all of this trans stuff are women, and they're all millennial aged.

So you're looking at a generation that was groomed in their university system, and now they're taking what they learned, and they're taking that perversion right to our public schools. That's sure the truth. All right, Marvin, it's a good and sobering thought about what's going on here. But I'm telling you, if I was a if I was a parent. Of a child in that school, and they did that to my child.

I would probably be in jail right now. I'm just telling you, that's just unbelievable what's been happening. And we're going to try to get the mom on our Newsmax TV show. We'll keep you updated on that. All right.

Got to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926. Again, coming up this hour, we're going to be naming our honor role of people that are donating, giving money to our campaign at Food for the Poor. You can donate right now. Go to ToddSterns.com, click on the blue banner.

We'll be reading those names in just a little while. Again, our number is: we go to break 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, coming up a little bit later on this hour, our good buddy Art Allie is going to drop by from Timothy Plan. Also, Bill Abbott, who is the chief executive officer of Great American Media.

Man, do they have some great family-friendly programming? They're coming under fire from Google and YouTube. They're being censored by YouTube. Imagine that, YouTube censoring family-friendly content. Just unbelievable.

And also, Michael Wilson, host of the Lone Star Conservative every morning on our brand new affiliate in Houston Patriot Talk 920. Michael's going to be along as well.

So. Over the weekend, someone sent me some video, and I've got to play this for you. This is just insanity. You know, we've been talking a lot about violence, and the mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, which is unfortunately one of the most beautiful, it's one of the most violent cities in America, but it really is one of the most beautiful places. And Memphis has so much to offer, so much going on.

The history, the music, the food, the culture, it's just off the charts. And there's a reason why, for really generations, Memphis has been one of the top cities. It was a tourist destination for so many years. But over the past 20 or 30 years of Democrat rule, things have not gone very well. For my hometown.

And the mayor is of this opinion that it's a perception.

So, if we just pretend like we don't hear gunfire, if we pretend that our cars are not being broken into, if we pretend that we're not being carjacked, then everything's going to be okay.

So, the problem is. A perception problem. Not that Crime is happening, but I want to play. And again, this is terrible. I want to play.

Some audio Of a group of what we call young scholars, right? We're not allowed to call them thugs because they say that the word thug is now somehow racist.

So we have to call them young scholars.

So you're going to be hearing a group of young scholars hanging out in a parking lot, and somebody is going to be pulling out a gun, and then you're going to hear the aftermath of all of that. And keep in mind, this is all happening when the mayor says crime is at an all-time low in Memphis, Tennessee. Wait for it. All right, that's that's not Mogadishu. That is it's not Gaza.

It's Memphis, Tennessee. And Ben Dater, my understanding is that most of the people shooting, if not all, are young people. Like one is apparently, what, 10 years old? 10, 12, 13. I mean, what were you doing when you were 13?

I mean, as a 13-year-old, I was playing Call of Duty. They're playing Call of Duty, but like the real thing.

Well, when I was that age, I was riding around the streets in my big wheel, but I wasn't, you know, not I wasn't packing heat. I wasn't doing drive-bys. You had maybe a nerf guide, but those were nerf bullets, not real bullets. Wow. That's insanity.

Todd, if that is the safest city in America, what we just heard God, can you imagine what the most dangerous city in America sounds like? I can't even. We're talking about children. And by the way, they're running around.

So after the initial gunfire, they start chasing after the people that were shooting. And I mean, this was on a busy street.

So people, just innocent bystanders, could have been knocked off. Middle of the, by the way, it was broad daylight. All kids, we wonder why kids aren't learning. Able to read. They're not in school and they're doing stuff like that.

Also, did you notice all the pants? The pants were barely around their waist. They were on their ground. One poor guy tried to run away, but he kept stumbling because his pants were, you know, I mean, I'm surprised did he get shot? He could have had two buttholes.

Yeah, exactly. Or three. Uh At some point, where are the parents here? Why aren't we charging the parents? Why aren't we throwing them in jail?

And why aren't these kids? I mean, they say this was an after-school activity, but I. And where are those kids' belts? Why aren't the parents using the belts? They need a marksmanship course and.

Memphis City Schools. All right, hang tight, everybody. Got to take a break. This is the Todd Stern Show. And welcome back to the Touchstarns Radio Program.

Wow. There's chaos right now unfolding within the Democrat Party. And you can't help but enjoy all of this.

So the. The the Democrat Party is over. It it's over. There was a survey done over the weekend, and by the way, if you've listened to this program for any amount of time over the years, Go back to when AOC was first elected and AOC started the squad. She launched the campaign to take away our cheeseburgers, to shut down airports across the country, which may not be a bad idea now.

But overall, she was a radical leftist. And I told you at the time that AOC was going to be the future of the Democrat Party, that the days of the mainline liberals like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, again, not far leftist, but certainly liberal. Those days were over. Sure enough, a new survey came out over the weekend showing that a majority, an overwhelming majority, Of Democrats believe that AOC is the de facto leader of the party right now. And what does that tell us?

Well, I want to play some audio. Seth Moulton was just on CNN a few moments ago, and he's a Democrat, and he explained the problem the Democrats are facing. How do you reform yourself though to be more in touch with the everyday American person, like you say?

Well, I'll tell you what, we've become a party of people who preach down to others, you know, who scold them, who say, if you don't agree with me, you're not only wrong, but you're a bad person. I mean, I think all of us have heard that attitude from many National Democrats in the past couple years.

So I think we need to stop preaching and start listening. Start meeting Americans where they are. Don't take these minority positions on cultural issues and say, hey, if you don't meet this strict liberal litmus test, then you're not even a Democrat. You know, when I questioned whether we should at least just have a debate about rules for sports, you know, whether transgender women should compete on the same level as on girls' sports teams. I got accosted by, I got told by people, you're not even a Democrat.

Well, that's the problem with our party. You can't be a majority party if you don't accept a majority of views. It happens on this particular issue: 80% of Americans disagree with this liberal lettuce test, you know, a checkbox for Democrats on this view.

So we've got to be a lot smarter in listening to Americans. My job is to represent Americans, not tell them what to think, but actually represent their interests in Congress. And I think if more Democrats took that approach, took that view, we'd be much more successful as a party. It's interesting. We are watching the entire collapse of the Democrat Party.

It's over. Their party is done. And the reason why is because of people like Jasmine Crockett. Because of people like AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Elhan Omar. And then you've got these, and those are alpha chicks.

They're feminizes, all of them are feminazis. And then look at the men of the Democrat Party, the men that people aspire to be like. You've got little David Hogg. Who has like arms the size of this Sharpie I'm holding right now? Or Pete Pootie Judge, Pete Pootie Juice rather, whose claim to fame was chest feeding his child that he bought.

Was it twins? Did they buy twins? Was it a two-for-one sale? We don't know. I may be thinking of someone else.

All that to say, it's over for the Democrat Party. I want you to listen to CNN talking about the polling data, cut number three. And by the way, this is CNN and NBC polls. This is CNN, and then play cut for right after that. Americans' favorable views of the Democratic Party's brand are at a record low, just 29%.

That's compared to 36% for Republicans. It is the lowest ever recorded for Democrats in CNN polling, going back more than 30 years. As you can see, the party's numbers dropping a staggering 20 points in just four years. The CNN SRSR's poll also found 57% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters are more interested in seeing their party leaders stop the GOP agenda compared to 42% who are more interested in cutting bipartisan deals. First of all, the mood of the country.

This really jumped out. We asked folks, is it done the right direction or the wrong direction? That 44%, you say right direction, that's up since November. And if that doesn't seem like a lot, the last time it cracked 40%, you got to go back to 2012. The last time it actually hit 44 or higher, January of 2004.

So a lot of this is Republicans, but Independents, that number is also up since the election on the direction of the country. Yeah. It's bad out there, folks, for the Democrats. And we should love this. We should embrace this.

But it's also a reminder that ultimately. We have the ability to govern for generations. We just can't screw it up. And we do know that Republican leaders have a bad habit of screwing things up.

So I want to play cut number 11 here. And again, the legacy media, they're completely out of touch. Listen to this. This to me was one of the more shocking figures that I saw. Made me go, wait a minute, hold on one second.

Whoa. Americans on Trump and Joe's efforts. Musk and Doge should influence government spending and operations. Look at this. 54%.

The majority say that he and they should. How about approval of Trump trying to cut staff at government agencies? Again, you get a majority here. 51%.

So yeah, Elon Musk might not be that popular, but these cuts in the idea of spending cuts, at least within the federal government, and cutting at government agencies, that actually has majority support. I was truly surprised by this, Kate, but the numbers are the numbers.

Well, there is a view that cuts across Democrat and Republican of people thinking that Washington is too big. Big, bloated federal government, waste fraud and abuse. I mean, those are drain the swamp is what people run on over and over again. How do they feel? What do they think they're actually cutting?

Yeah, what do they think they're actually cutting? Democrats want to argue that the type of spending that Musk is cutting is mainly necessary programs, but that comes in at just 36 percent. The wasteful spending actually wins the plurality here at 42 percent, according to a recent Washington Post Ipsos poll. And I think that is the reason why you see that when it comes to Dusk and Moj, Musk and Doge, you see, in fact, the majority believe he should have some influence because they believe, the plurality believe, that he is cutting wasteful spending, not necessary programs that Democrats are arguing. But you see, the Democrats have pledged their allegiance.

They have bowed down. to the LGBT activist and it's over for them. It is over for them. The Feminazis control the Democrat Party right now, and that's the end of them. And if the Republicans continue delivering on their campaign promises, it is going to be a very, very Good.

Good midterm election. For the Republicans, the America First Republicans. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. All right, we're going to take a quick break here.

This is the Todd Stern Show. And something different. There is now a member of the European Parliament from France who does not think the U.S. represents the values of the Statue of Liberty anymore. They want the Statue of Liberty back.

So is President Trump. going to send the Statue of Liberty back to France? Absolutely not. And my advice to that unnamed, low-level French politician would be to remind them that it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now.

So they should be very grateful to our great country. Yes, thank you there. That was Peter Ducey from Fox asking the question of Caroline Levitt. And what a really brilliant response there, right? Because it's true.

If it hadn't been for the United States of America, they'd all be speaking German over there. By the way, if they want the Statue of Liberty back, all right, they can come and get it. Whatever. I'm sure we can come up with something much nicer out there. I have no problem with that.

But I want you to step back and think about this for just a minute. They're saying that we don't represent those values. For the record. We're more than welcome to take all of the world's tired and Poor, hungry, the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. Anybody wanting to come here legally, we're happy to roll out the welcome mat.

But that doesn't mean we've got to invite all of the South American gangbangers or the Islamic radicals that want to blow all of us to Kingdom Come. I'm just saying. Welcome back to the Tom Sterns Radio Show. America is back, and it is time to stand with a bank that shares your values, Old Glory Bank. They support hardworking Americans, small businesses, your constitutional rights.

No cancel culture, folks. No woke nonsense. Just a bank that believes in faith, freedom, and the flag. And I want to enjoy, I want to invite you to join the movement today, oldglorybank.com/slash starnes. That's oldglorybank.com/slash starnes.

Well, I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. It is always an honor to talk to our friend Art Alley, who founded one of the most important ministries in all of America, the Timothy Plan. Art, hope you're doing well today. Man, I couldn't be doing better. It's always a joy to talk to you, my friend.

You know, Art, and we're going to talk about Timothy Plan in just a moment, but it is so vitally important that we create this culture. It's almost like an underground economy where conservatives, where Christians, freedom lovers are supporting organizations that are fighting for our values and not against our values. Oh, amen, brother, you know. the other side. The bad guys.

They have understood for years how to weaponize money because Todd, when you wash it all away, It's always about the money when you get down to the foundational basics. They know how to weaponize it. They know how to control things. They know how to influence things. And we just kind of sit back and have left them alone.

But now people are waking up on our side. and starting to understand. You know. how we better be channeling our money into things that we hold dear. And we better be supporting ministries that are out there on the front lines.

And I'm encouraged. I'm seeing a pendulums finally swinging back. To some common sense, and we're willing to stand up and be counted. As it says on your website, TimothyPlan.com, rethinking the way you think about investing. And for more than 30 years, that's what you guys have been doing, helping investors achieve their financial goals, but also investing in a morally responsible manner.

What does that mean for we got a lot of new listeners today on the program, Art? What does that mean investing in a morally responsible manner?

Well, actually, Todd is a biblically responsible manner, and all that means. is that we will not invest One penny of shareholders' money. in any company that is pursuing an unholy agenda, is the best way I can put it. uh corporate america Is and has been for a long time funding a lot of bad stuff: abortion, pornography. LGBTQ plus plus, transgender mutilation.

I mean, corporate America. is on the wrong side of this. But finally. they're starting to come back, and you're hearing more and more companies are dropping this DEI stuff. But bottom line, to answer your question, what it means is we do deep research if a company is involved in funding or directly involved or otherwise.

At the corporate level, we will not invest in those companies And we have proven over thirty one years now, Todd, you don't have to own those companies. to get competitive investment returns. But even if you did, we wouldn't do it anyway. You know, it's matter of following your your biblical beliefs We just help people. Put them into action.

We do the heavy lifting. Our website explains it all, they can call us. It is what we do at corporations are starting to notice. Art, we had a listener send us a note the last time we were on, and I wanted to share this because a lot of people out there have money questions. And this is from Ashley, and she and her fiancé are getting married in July.

Congratulations, Ashley. She said, Todd, Art, should we, a married couple, have a separate bank account and one household account? What say you? Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, man, uh, that opened that door.

when you get married, the two become one. I do not believe in separate accounts. I mean, they can sort this out any way they want to. But either you're married or you're not. It's not like two individuals cohabitating the same address.

So I'm not a big fan of separate accounts. I mean, in for a dime, in for a dollar. You get married. Uh you're married uh the right person both ways, hopefully for life, and you pull the sled together in the same direction. You know it.

You know, Art, it's interesting you mentioned that because Ramsey Solutions, our good friend Dave Ramsey, found that money fights are the second leading cause of divorce behind infidelity. And TD Bank did a study. They said 29% of divorced baby boomers, and get this 41% of divorced Gen Xers, that's my generation, ended their marriages due to financial disagreements.

So what's the secret to making sure you don't have those kinds of disagreements? Oh, God. I wrote an entirely Complete Six module Biblical stewardship study because we get all of our training on handling. the thing that's most central to everybody and that's money. We get all of our training how to do that from the world, not from the church and not from God's word.

So, I have a resource on our website, TimothyPlan.com, right on the homepage. It's called Biblical. Stewardship. uh a nine-hour course That I mean, it just documents what God's Word says compared with the way the world has taught us to handle everything. And you're right.

The biggest stress people can be under. It has to do with money. and a huge cause of breakups and marriages. have to do with money. If we do it God's way, Todd, as you well know, God's way only works Every time.

So we've we've documented that for. Go to the website. download it, it's free. We don't charge for any of this. We want the body of Christ.

just start doing things God's way. Financially, and you'll find the rest of your life will fall into place. as you fully intended it when you first said the I do's. I love that advice. And again, Ashley, we wish you and your fiancé nothing but the best.

And folks, you can also send in your questions. If you have a question, go to our website. You can send us a note, and we'll ask Art Alley for his great expert advice. Art, we've got to leave it there, but real quick, tell people where they can go. Once again, if they want to get information, they want to download that incredible seminar at Timothy Plan.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's it! That's right. I love this American ride. Time start.

Yeah, well, hello everybody. Welcome to our three of the big show. Good to have you with us today. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.

Man, I think just about Dieter, the entire Todd Stern's listening show audience across America was under some sort of a severe weather threat over the weekend. That was insane. It was pretty crazy. Memphis fared pretty well. Not other parts of Mississippi, parts of Tennessee.

It was a wide, huge, ranging storm. We were spared. But I know the death toll, what, is over 30 at this point? Yeah, Arkansas, Missouri.

So really, really tough. You know what's interesting, though, is that we were, it was like the tornadoes went to our north, our south, the east, and the west, but they did not touch the Memphis area. And a lot of people say it's because of the bluffs on the Mississippi River, and the bluffs disrupt the storm systems. But I contend that even the storms, even Mother Nature is terrified of Memphis, Tennessee. Yeah.

It's dangerous. They got to the city and turned right back around. Yeah. I mean, we heard the audio of the gunfire. Yeah, the tornado's like, yeah, we're not doing that.

Yeah. We're skipping Memphis. Yeah, we stand no chance to Memphis and their gun byways. Oh, my word. All right, let's go to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line, and we are honored to have a good friend of this program.

His name is Michael Wilson. He is the host of the Lone Star Conservative every morning on Patriot Talk 920 in Houston. Michael, good to have you with us today. It's good to be here, Todd. Thanks so much for having me, man.

So, look, do you guys are y'all dealing with the crime there in Houston that we are in Memphis? A lot of our problem comes because our district attorney actually just last week announced that he would not be prosecuting nuisance crimes, which by the way includes property crimes like burglary.

So now we have that to contend with, but it's not shocking for a liberal DA whose entire race, by the way, was funded by George Soros.

Well, no doubt about that. And of course, you guys have Jasmine Crockett down there. She got educated in Memphis at Rhodes College. How is she working out for you guys down in Houston? Is it okay if I blame all of that on Tennessee instead of us?

Can I pretend like she's not going to be able to do it? Go right ahead and go instead. Go right ahead. I think that would work out better for us than trying to claim her. Yeah, you know, it's I mean, it's strange.

She is becoming the new AOC of this election cycle. And when you hear her talk and you see the positions she's taking, I mean, it does sort of make sense why the Democrats are imploding right now.

Well, and I've said that, right? Like, if you look back, the Democrat Party today is legitimately unrecognizable from the Democrat Party of the 70s, the 80s, and the 90s. I mean, it's a completely different party. I don't even think they bear any similarities to each other other than maybe some foreign policy. It's a completely different party.

And it's not even just the policies, Todd. Like, if you look at Jasmine Crockett on social media, the disrespect she has for the floor, for her office, Uh it's it's absolute insanity. Michael, I'm curious about the immigration issue, and I know that's been a major issue, especially on the Texas border towns. What about there in Houston? Is that a big problem?

Are you guys seeing the illegal immigrant crime? Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean literally um The ICE announced just a couple of weeks ago, actually just last week they announced it, but from february twenty-third to March 3rd, they deported hundreds. of illegals who were charged with child sex crimes, charged with a variety of other sex crimes, violent crimes, gun related crimes. We've got a lot of that.

Trende Aragua, we know has a massive presence in Houston. But thank the Lord, Trump is finally dealing with Trende Araguans. The way that we should have been for the past four years. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: I love this. We've got a Navy warship that's been deployed on the U.S.-Mexican border.

We've got they're building seven new miles of border wall currently under construction and illegal entries into the country down. Get this, Michael, over 95%.

Well, and Todd, I said when the mass deportations started, I said it's not going to matter how many deportations we do if we haven't secured the border first. Like we have a woman that was arrested just last week in Houston. Who has illegally re-entered the U.S. five or six times. DWI is on her record, theft on her record.

And I said, you know, we can deport her all we want, but they're just going to keep coming back. And so it's been exciting, especially because they also announced the Southern District of Texas, which covers something like 9 million people. That court has prosecuted something like 245 cases that are all basically cases of illegal re-entry.

So we're actually securing the border at the same time as dealing with the criminals that are already here.

So we've got Michael Wilson with us on our Patriot mobile newsmaker line. He is the morning show host at Patriot Talk 920 in Houston. And, Michael, of course, today we made the big jump. We are live, broadcasting live in Houston. Tell us about the radio station.

You guys are really unique and laser-focused on the messaging. Yes, absolutely.

So, a couple of things. First of all, we have this nice. Little feature about us where we're unbiable because we're family-owned and operated. There's Almost no radio stations left like that, especially in bigger markets. That's why you probably heard the news that came out last year where George Soros-style companies were buying up a lot of the radio stations.

So they're either corporately owned, leftist owned, and even the quote unquote Republican stations, not to name names, But even they oftentimes are going with the wrong messaging because they're corporately owned and corporately sponsored. At Patriot Talk 920, because we're family owned and operated, I'll tell you, Todd, not once has my boss ever told me what I am or am not allowed to say, as long as I believe it's the truth and I preach it. And the reality is that a lot of that comes because of the fact that we cannot be and are not bought and paid for. With that comes our messaging, which right now especially is hugely focused on the Second Amendment. Houston is a big hub for gun owners.

You'll notice if you come out to any of our gun shows in the Houston area, none of the other radio stations have been or are there because again, because they're corporately sponsored, they're afraid of the gun messaging. They're afraid of the gun lobby. And so it results in this sort of cowardice that cowers away from going with gun owners. Opposed to Patriot Talk 920, who's out at every single gun show, whether I'm out there or our President Matt Velazquez is out there. we're essentially every single one, talking with actual gun owners about what's going on.

Our biggest sponsor, Gunowners of America, is fighting in the legislation every single day and keeping us up to date with what's going on. I think that's all very essential points. And I think that people aren't paying attention to, especially with a lot of their favorite radio hosts, And they wonder why they don't talk about things.

Well, I think it's I think it's who owns them. No, I think you're right there. And Dieter, I know that you have the same situation in Memphis, Tennessee, where the owner of the station doesn't tell you what to say on your morning show. I think he's baiting me. No, for the most part, Todd, you're pretty good about letting me say whatever.

Though I do get some texts, but it's not on the content typically of what I've said or whether I've overstepped something I've said on the morning show. It's more of like, yo, you can't always be the bearer of bad news. Give people the freaking traffic and weather. I'm like standing out there and it's raining, and Todd's like, your job is to give people the weather, and you're just talking about George Soros and Hillary Clinton.

So that's basically the only messaging I'm getting for management.

Well, Ben, I'll tell you, luckily, it looks like, you know, Hillary Clinton, maybe it's just my feed, but I've not been seeing nearly as much of her as in previous years. And I can't tell you how ecstatic I am and I don't have to see her face every day. Yeah, but it's less fun when she's not in the news cycle. But for people like Jasmine Crockett, like, thank you God that we still got a couple still making our jobs pretty fun. I tell you what, man, there is enough crazy leftists.

And it's the same thing with the polling data. You know, there are so many crazy leftists that are not the Democrats. And you wonder why people like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, all these guys had to flip to a whole different party because their party was genuinely unrecognizable. The party of AOC, Jasmine Crockett, this socialist, frankly, communist party filled with people that care more about the immigrants than they do about their own people. Michael, before we let you go, we got to take a break coming up here.

We're getting a lot of people weighing in on the logo of Patriot Talk 920, which sort of looks like an American flag waving in the breeze. Or it may be somebody's hairdo. Oh, you know what? It's really funny because when we first made our stickers, it was designed to look like a flag waving in the breeze. And then we turned the sticker over without the bias of seeing the logo itself.

And it genuinely just looked like Donald J. Trump.

So call that a coincidence. Call it Providence. That's up to you, Todd. Patriot Hare. I love this.

It's a great logo. People are loving it, by the way.

Well, Michael, we're going to get you back on to talk about the big stories impacting the great state of Texas. And we're just so excited to be live in Houston right now. And we are, by the way, very excited to have you live, Todd. You put on a fantastic show. We're very proud of all the work you're doing on the Patriot front.

All right. The great Michael Wilson, host of the Lone Star Conservative, every morning there on Patriot Talk 9:20 in Houston. Folks, we are going to have to take a break.

Now, listen up: if you are listening to us right now in Houston, Texas, and you call in, we're going to hook you up with a Todd Stern Show prize package, a signed copy of my new book. We're going to also provide you with our brand new Gulf of America postcards. These are retro-looking postcards. They're just so well done. Joseph Huntley, our graphics guy, really knocked it out of the ballpark.

And we want to hook you up with that, but you got to give us a call: 901-260-5926. Our way of saying welcome to the neighborhood. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, the entire state of Texas is calling right now. Welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, and we are excited.

We're celebrating two brand new affiliates today, and we're just so honored. We have the best audience in all of Talk Radio, hands down. And we're just honored that you guys hang out with us noon to three Eastern. Let's go to the phone lines here and say hello to Pat, who's listening to us in South Houston. Hi, Pat.

How are you today? Fine. How are you, Todd? Pat, I'm doing well. And it's great, great hearing from our friends in Texas today.

Yeah, I listen to 9.20 a.m. It's pretty new. station here. It's become my new favorite conservative radio station, and I've discovered you. Through that station, I've been listening to you for a couple of years now, or a year and a half, however long it's been, that you've been on there.

And I listened to Dieter, and I. I really enjoy y'all. Just wanted to call with a message. I hope that. we've got nothing but good times ahead of us right now, I think, with this new administration and I'm just looking forward to the next few years.

And yeah, we got crime here in Houston. Yeah. But I think things are only going to get better. Pat, it really is the golden age, as President Trump predicted, the golden era of America. And I see it.

And it's just like, you know, I was explaining this on the radio a couple of weeks ago. We're going through surgery right now as a country, and President Trump is having to, you know, it's going to be painful for a little while, but I am telling you, by this time next year, I think we're going to be talking about a very different version of America. I I heard so and I believe so and I um And I think we all went through a lot to get here, and we're very glad to be here now.

Now, Pat, here's the deal. Don't be a stranger. You know, we're going to be talking about all sorts of crazy stories. And just like the old Rush Limbaugh show, we are caller-driven.

So we love talking to our listeners. And don't be a stranger. And also, don't hang up because Cassie is going to get your information. I'm going to send you a signed copy of my latest book, if that's okay. Hey, I'd love to have it.

Thank you. All right. Hang tight. Don't go anywhere, Pat. And thank you for listening to Patriot Talk 920.

Let's go to Pasadena, Texas. Say hello to Dan, listening to us on AM 920. Hi, Dan. What's on your mind today? Hey, Todd, it's really great to talk to you and I was just thinking about political events in the somewhat recent past Yeah, I was thinking about November Yeah.

Yeah. sixteen And that was a major turning point for the history of our country because One of the things I still I remember it should be. Vivid from that time. Was election night? And all of the polls, as you I'm sure, know were predicting that Hillary was going to win.

And uh things did not look all that good and I went to bed that night. feeling really depressed Just really in a bad mood about the the prospect of Hillary being elected. But then when I'm reasonable The good news broke out that Trump won. Boy, that brightened my day and brightened my outlook. and brighten things for the entire country and not just this country.

but other countries and peoples around the world.

So Trump's victory has had an enormous impact on the direction of everything. And I'm really glad to see him back in the White House again. Yes. in a way, it's sort of a mixed thing, mixed emotion, whether it's good or bad that he lost the election to Biden Because With Biden in there, it really demonstrated like maybe nothing else could the difference. between a Democrat In a great pro-American Republican like Trump And also, it gave him four years to really figure out exactly what he wanted to do once he got back in, and he's doing it.

Making America great again. And so I've got a lot of optimism for the future of this country. Dan, I can feel that in your voice. And again, the idea too big to rig, that was the rally cry. He was not supposed to win in 2016.

They thought they had the numbers. But again, the American people rose up in 2016, just like they rose up last November and said, you know what, we're not going down this path anymore. And we slammed on the brakes on the road to socialism. And now we're backing up the bus and we're getting this country back on course. And Dan, I'm excited to hear from you in the coming weeks and months.

Dan, we're going to put you on hold, and Cassie's going to get your info and we're going to send you a nice welcome to the radio show prize package. All right, 901-260-5926. Dieter, you're getting some nice props here. I'm so honored. Listen, I have some Texas ties.

Dallas.

Okay, it's not Houston. I've never been to Houston before. You shouldn't tell that to the Houston crowd. I think there's a competition.

So I thought Texas was. Texas. I had only been there once, and I liked Dallas. And I thought I was a Texan after they took me to the Christmas capital of the world, which is Grapevine. Grapevine, Texas.

You guys know what I'm talking about. And then they said, oh, well, Houston's a totally different animal. Like, just because you've been to Dallas doesn't mean you've been to all of Texas. And so I I'm going to have to go back, Todd. Maybe we go on the road.

We head down to Houston. Did I just get in trouble my first time? I think you got in trouble. We'll ask Don in Houston listening to us. Don, do I need to fire Dieter here?

Did he say anything inappropriate? Absolutely not. I came down here from Grapevine. I know it well. I lived in the Dallas area for a number of years.

Uh but tell him uh he needs to go to Grave Private because It's hot in Houston. Trust me on that. Don, I just I am just so impressed with the humidity in Houston. I thought it was bad back home in Memphis, but you guys, hands down, the winner of the humidity battles. Yeah.

I I won't argue that with you. And by the way, Todd, I want to tell you something. Your last two callers, uh, Pat and I didn't catch the other guy's name, uh, they pretty much said exactly what I would say. I mean, you really don't even need to talk to me 'cause Latin. Between the four of us, those two and you and myself, They don't need the one of us because we all think exactly alike.

Don, but we love to have a platform where we can agree, disagree, have some fun on the radio. And, Don, I want you to hold on. We got to take a quick break here, but Cassie wants to get your intel. We're going to send you a copy of my latest book. Hang tight, everybody.

Don't go anywhere. This is the Todd Stern Show. Shoot me too bad, shoot the bat. I want it at you. Shoot me the bad, shooting me up.

All right, don't forget you can watch the Todd Sterns TV show. That's coming up tonight, 5 o'clock Eastern on Newsmax Television. Real quick, let's go back to the phone lines. Daryl in Houston's been holding on for a little while. And Daryl, appreciate you doing that.

What's on your mind today? I just want to say, Todd, that uh My wife and I listened to you. You came on later in the afternoon. here on nine twenty, but now they bumped you up and we're good to go.

Well, we're glad you're good to go, and I'm good to go, and we're really looking forward to having some great conversations there in the Houston area. And Darryl, I got to tell you, you guys are really blessed to have a radio station like Patriot Talk nine hundred twenty, locally owned, locally operated. Yes, sir. I mean, my wife and I, we've been listening to it ever since they went to Right wing radio. And uh But we need a Doge system down here in Houston to clean up the left wing politics in City Hall and especially with Harris County with the Lena Hidalgo And all her Cronies on the Harris County committees.

Well, one of the things that I love about local radio around the nation is that that's the area, that's the way to mobilize. And we've seen that happen in Memphis, Tennessee, with the radio station I own, the News Talk station. We've seen that in places like Georgia, WDUN, and Wichita, Kansas. But it really, there has to be an emphasis on locally owned, locally run, where you don't have to worry about the big corporate guys stepping in and deciding what you can and cannot say. I totally agree.

I mean, we they're just And then uh Washington, we're going in the right direction. What's our President Trump, Goddess wish all the Republican Senators and Republicans in the House. Would always go his way, and it might make everything a little smoother.

Well, Daryl, I'll tell you this. We're going to hold them all accountable. We don't work off talking points on this radio program, and we're going to make sure that everybody lives up to their campaign promises. Daryl, I've got to leave it there. Don't hang up, though.

Cassie is going to pick up the phone, our great call screener, and we're going to send you a signed copy of my most recent book. We talked about this a few days ago on the Newsmax show. One of my favorite really TV networks is the Great American Family channel, and they just really do such a great job, great programming, but they are coming under attack by YouTube and Google. I want to bring in Bill Abbott. Bill is the chief executive officer of Great American Media.

And, Bill, we sure do appreciate you coming on the radio show today. Todd, it's great to be here. I'm a big a big fan of yours and your show.

So thank you very much for having me.

So let's talk about what's happening here because you guys have some really great family friendly programs, but that has somehow triggered the people over at YouTube. We do.

So just to back up for a minute, we are really the leading provider of faith-based, family friendly content in the entertainment ecosystem. And we are that voice for people to get content that doesn't assault the senses the way. Much of what you see on television does. There are no shocking, surprising. violent language, sex filled Programming on our network.

And in fact, we're quite the opposite. We're uplifting and positive yet. Uh Google and uh or alphabet and and YouTube T V Refused to carry our channel, Great American Family Channel, which is in. which is carried by every other major distributor and is in the top twenty five in terms of our ranking and widely popular as you probably know. It's hugely popular.

And so so you guys, when did you realize there was a problem with YouTube? But Well, so we launched about three point five years ago, and pretty quickly, we were put on the back burner even though all of the distributors across the landscape carried us. We were given a number of reasons why we wouldn't be included. And at first, you know, Sort of understandable. We were new.

brand, even though we're creating a lot of original content, we had to prove ourselves. But we have proven ourselves. And so Over the past two years, it's really reached A fever pitch from our point of view that we have this great commitment to original content and. linear ecosystem and we're free. We are not charging a penny.

To the subscribers or to Google, to YouTube T V to carry us. And we're the only entertainment network that's growing. You see so much of the linear landscape is in decline, and on the entertainment side, especially where There's a proliferation of streaming services, but we're one that is growing. And really, so two years ago, when this story became is so strong for us and we were shut down clearly by you just have to wonder, it's hard not to conclude there's an anti Christian bias there. You know, I was watching a show on Paramount and just a huge fan of this particular show.

And wow, the name just escaped me. But it was really, for the first entire season, it was really, really great. It's just intriguing storytelling. And then all of a sudden, I tune in and boom, they've completely embraced the whole gender ideology storyline. And you're like, doggone it.

And it's amazing how that can just ruin a show because they're trying to shove an agenda at you. And I think that's one of the reasons why people are so drawn to what you guys are doing over all of your various channels because it's really about telling good stories, family-friendly stories, and not shoving an agenda down the throats of the viewers. No doubt. And it's social engineering at its worst when and we can you can look at Bridgardson, you could look at downtown Abbey. It was the same.

Same situation where they had a hit series, and all of a sudden they decide they were going to influence the culture and impact your thinking. By changing the storylines just for the sake of doing it. And we believe that you should be able to watch. A show with your family, sit on the couch and be comfortable. And maybe not, you don't want to have a conversation about.

certain issues. And so we are here to provide that, yet at the same time, YouTube T V, which is operated by Alphabet, does not recognize that or recognize us or the strength that we have. Bill Abbott is the Chief Executive Officer of Great American Media. And Bill, I think it might be good just to talk about the various platforms you have because it's more than just the television network. I mean, you guys have other platforms as well, Great American Faith and Living and Great American Pure Flakes.

Well, that's right. And we also have two fest channels, Todd. We have Great American Adventures and Pure Flips T V, all of which are life-affirming and uplifting, and have traditional values across Of the network with the content and the programming, and we're very focused on delivering what we believe is. To the majority of the country, vast majority of the country, who doesn't want to be forced to watch something that makes them uncomfortable.

Well, I know that's also high quality, too. You see, no, and for me, I'm sorry, that is so important. And that's seriously, this is the reason I love you guys, because everything is done with excellence. And for so long, and I've been a Christian since I was in high school, and I came up through that whole genre of the Christian music and Christian programming and Christian movies, and they were not always as well done as they are now. I think that's the polite way of saying it.

But again, it's compelling storytelling, and you're not shoving an agenda. The stories are woven together in such a way that I think are really creative.

Well, thank you. All right, before we let you. I'm sorry, go ahead and finish your thought. No, I was going to say we work extremely hard at that. We scrutinize.

every character, every storyline, every location, every piece of wardrobe to ensure that we're in keeping with that brand that we're building that is I think really becoming A powerhouse than the leader in this category.

Well, the good news here is that Brendan Carr, the FCC chair, is looking into what's happening here. And again, this is not about, you know, look, Google, YouTube, if they're going to be these bastions of free speech, they can't be censoring. And if you are going to censor, you don't get special government protections. It just seems pretty simple to me. And I suspect at the end of the day, they're going to see the error of their ways.

Well, let's hope so. We they do fifty billion a year in revenue one would think that they would be able to figure out a way to just carry our channel, which offers variety and a very different experience than the remainder of the content that they carry. All right. Well, Bill, we're going to have to leave it there. And look, let us know how we can promote the shows and movies coming up.

We're just huge fans. And I think what you guys are doing there at Great American Media is so important to the health of the country.

Well, we're very appreciative of your support, and we're excited about what we're doing, and we'll keep pushing. All right, Bill Abbott, everybody, the CEO of Great American Media. I know many of you out there watch their channels, and it's well worth it. Absolutely. All right, we've got to take a quick break here, folks.

We're going right back to your phone calls, 901-260-5926, welcoming all of our new listeners in Houston today.

So, if you call in, we're going to hook you up with a signed copy of one of my books, and we're also going to send you a beautiful Gulf of America postcard that our team here has created.

Well done. They're incredible. They're incredible. Todd, myself, we'll have to you know, what is the drive? I I asked you about this, Todd.

I said, Let's go drive to Houston 'cause I just assumed, you know, you drop down when I visit my sister in Dallas. It's about six hours from Memphis, Tennessee. You said, no, that's more than just a quick little jump in the car to get to Houston. What is that like? It's almost like 600 miles.

Holy moly. But you have to go through Arkansas down to eclip the Texarkana area of Louisiana. But you miss Dallas. The question is: are there Buckies? That's what I need to know.

Are there Buckies?

So, yeah, we're working on getting down there. I'm actually going to, they're having a big event coming up in April in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to fly down for that. Oh, very nice.

So, well, yeah.

So, that'll be a fun event. Nice. But anyway, folks, yeah, it's exciting. We're, you know, the show is growing, and it's all organic. We do everything in-house.

We are not a major corporation in the radio world, and it's a lot of fun talking, you know, during the commercial breaks, texting our friends over at Gainesville, Georgia, WDUN, working out, you know, the birthday greetings for, was it Jack, the 97-year-old World War II veteran? It's pretty incredible.

So, anyway, it's just a lot of fun here all. The radio. Our number, by the way, 901-260-5926. That's 901-266. Two six zero four.

So I want to play some audio here. You gotta love Secretary Rubio. If you asked me if I was having to grade The cabinet secretaries. I, to be honest, was not too sure about Marco Ribio. But this guy has knocked it out of the ballpark.

And I think this may very well be the best cabinet pick assigned from Pete Hagseff that Trump has made. This is Rubio over the weekend on the Sunday shows. Defending the decision to deport Mahmoud Khalil. He's the guy that was creating all of the anti-Israel protest marches at Columbia University. Cut fine, please.

Is there any evidence of a link to terrorism, or is it just his point of view? Yeah, they take over, I mean, do you not, I mean, you should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings. They vandalize colleges. They shut down.

I'm asking about this.

Well, then you should know. Justification for the revocation of his visa. Was there any other thing? The Andrew was the spokesperson that was the negotiator on negotiating on behalf of people that take over a campus, that vandalize buildings? Negotiating over what?

That's a crime in and of itself, that they're involved in being the negotiator, the spokesperson, this, that, the other. We don't need these people in our country. We never should have allowed him in in the first place. If he had told us, I'm going over there and I'm going over there to become the spokesperson and one of the leaders of a movement that's going to turn one of your allegedly elite colleges upside down. People can't even go to school.

Library buildings being vandalized. We never would have let him in. We never would have let him in to begin with. And now that he's doing it and he's here, he's going to leave, and so are others, and we're going to keep doing it. Good for you, Secretary Rubio.

And shame on CBS News, by the way. That was Margaret Brennan. They're literally on the sides of the Jew haters and these violent, illegal aliens.

Now, Ryan's Priebus was on ABC, and it was just as bad over there. And Ryan Priebus clearly pointed out the problem here. And the reason why the Democrats are in a freefall is because they hate Donald Trump more than they love America. That's at the heart, at the core of all of this, is they hate, they hate us, but they hate Donald Trump even more. Cut number six.

Well, the Democrats have had two horrific weeks, and it really just comes down to what Donna said. They've got no leader. They've got no movement. The only they've got is Trump derangement syndrome. It's the only thing that brings them together.

And the only thing they got out of this week was, well, who's going to primary Chuck Schumer? What are we all about? AOC and Bernie Sanders are the only people in their entire party that can get a crowd of over 20 to show up.

So the only thing they are, I mean, they're afraid of Trump. Trump owns them. And it was a total slam dunk for the Republican Party. Dider, did you see what happened over the weekend? President Trump with the pool reporters.

And before he gets on Air Force One, he's having a little gaggle with the reporters. And I've been a part of those gaggles.

So it's a pretty tight group of folks. You're kind of in very close proximity to the president. The MPR Chick She whacks the president upside the face with her boom mic. Oh, fuck. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. And President Trump was like, Yeah, you just made big news, sister. You just made big news for yourself. He handled it really well, but he looked ticked off. He read at her like your mom does in church when you can't quit cracking up during the Sunday sermon, and your mom looks at you and you just want to die or just erase yourself into the pew.

That's what he looked like when he looked at that reporter. My mom sang in the church choir. She was in the alto section, and she would give you the look. If you're sitting like on the third row of the pew, she gave you the look, and you knew. And I don't know how she did that.

I don't know how moms do that. But if your mom sings alto in the church choir, your mom probably had that gift as well. The look is worse than the pinch. Oh, big time. Danielle Kurtzelbin is the reporter.

Here's what gets me: she's 25. 26, 27 years old. Did she shave her armpits this morning? I mean, that's what she looks like. Describe her to the list.

She's very trans-friendly. Yeah. Pronouns unclear. How is she even allowed near the president? Just based off how she looks, she shouldn't have been allowed in the press pool.

So a lot of people are doing a deep dive, and she hates the president. Of course, she does. She works for the NPR. Yeah, but I mean, it goes beyond that. And so now people are wondering: okay, was this an accident or was this intentional?

Boom. And a lot of people are wondering: do we need to reconfigure the way the president is with the press? Because they hate him. And all it would have taken was some fentanyl or something on that boom mic, and we could have lost the president.

So, Todd, as a member of the press that had been in one of those gaggles, what happens if you hit you covered Barack Obama? You're working for Fox. You hit Barack Obama in the face with a mic. I never would have thought of doing that. I nearly got kicked off the plane for wearing a Hawaiian shirt on Business Casual Day.

So, how is it she's been kicked out of the White House press gaggle? Thank you very much. And why haven't we defunded NPR? Could somebody explain that to me? Why are our tax dollars supporting these people?

At least now there's cause. That's true. All right. Hey, folks, it's been a great day. Welcome, Winchester, Virginia.

Welcome, Houston, Texas. Welcome, America, to the Todd Stern Show. Get out there and be good, everybody.
