Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. That's us, that's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starr. You know, I just have a question here, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.
So very happy to have you with us on what is really shaping up to be an important and historic day in the history of this nation. And it really does reflect a pivot point in American history. The president coming up later today, this afternoon, signing an executive order abolishing the Department of Education. That is going to be the saving grace of our great nation. But before we get to that, there is a more pressing question and conversation that the nation is having right now.
And it involves the former first lady, Mike Obama. And I have a question here. The hairdo. Michelle Obama has a brand new hairdo, and many people are wondering, how can I put this delicately? What is that?
I mean, is that like a stegosaurus look? It looks like some sort, I don't know. Michelle Obama, and we've got the photograph of her new hair, which apparently she had her hair did. And a lot of folks are wondering if Julio was her new hairstylist.
Now, as I've told you many times, it takes a team of professional experts to get me looking presentable to go on national television and even radio. And I have, I think, the best hairstylist and makeup artist. And, you know, she doesn't have a lot to work with up there, you know, but she does a great job. and I would be happy to recommend, I mean, if Michelle Obama is looking for, you know, a new stylist, somebody said it looked like the Mickey Mouse Club rejected her for having too many ears. And it does sort of look, there is like an extra ear there, if that's the Mickey or Minnie Mouse look going on.
But maybe this is the new look. Is this like the new style? Are you asking me? no i was afraid to even bring it up to you yeah so you you have to describe this todd to your listeners so it looks like um have you seen jurassic park and you know the dinosaurs yeah and how some of them have those like um horns or whatever on their backs they have like the reptile spikes that's what this looks like she kind of looks like a rhinoceros but like she has three horns, one sticking out the front, like a unicorn, then a middle horn, then a back horn, outside of the fact that she looks like a dude. I mean, that's like, she looks like a dude.
That looks like a dude hair situation. She doesn't look like, it's not feminine. It's just not feminine at all. And she used to be a very feminine looking first lady. She's gone through some change because she's wearing like, it looks like Barack Obama, the ex, her ex.
It looks like his suit coat. Remember the tan suit coat that he wore that he caught so much flack? why is the president of the united states wearing a tan suit she's wearing it looks to be like um and i may be off here on this so ladies please correct me and i i'm not i'm not saying anything you know irreverent or you know i'm not saying that it's an unattractive look but if if that's you then you do you i mean that's it's america if you want to look like your hair was done by Busta Rhyme and Coolio, then have at it. I'm just saying. But anyway, it's just it looks like a man's suit.
She's wearing something that a man would wear. Like she's got the open collar man shirt and she's got the man's suit coat on. It's just I don't get it.
So something's going on there. We have a lot of people.
Some call this a midlife crisis, Todd. It could just be that. Right? Everybody has a crisis, a quarter-life crisis, a midlife crisis, and she could just be going through it right now.
So we have over 1,500 people commenting right now on my post on Facebook about what's going on here.
Someone said male pattern baldness. Stop. Stop. Be nice. Be nice.
Jeez, Alou.
Someone said, is she trying to look like a 20-year-old or what? You know, this is a great question. Shame on you. This is a great question because a lot of people that are my age are trying to appear to act, behave, and dress like they are 20 years old. And I'm just one of these people, you know, I know my age, I know my physical limitations, and I'm not going to look like I'm a 20-year-old Gen Zer.
And I'm not even sure 20-year-old Gen Zers appreciate when adults try to act like them. You're not going to see me. Dieter and I had a raging conversation about pants before the show because you're wearing the Holy. You don't have pants without holes in them. And I'm like, I'm going to buy you a pair of pants.
And I said, I'll give you these ones. You can wear these pants. They've got massive holes in them. They're basically shorts. Nobody wants to see my 57-year-old knees, my knobby knees, poking out of a pair of pants.
Wait, she looks like Foghorn Leghorn. You know, the chicken foghorn. How it has all of those little, like, I don't know. I'm so confused here, but she definitely looks like the rooster from Looney Tunes. Like, I'm sorry.
Sorry to get back from the pants. I get what you're saying. But, yeah, I'm just trying to decide what's going on here. She needs an intervention. And I don't know what the brother is doing there.
I mean, we could talk about the brother, too, because the brother is sitting across Michelle's brother. Does he have the same due? No, he's bald. I'm telling you, we could be dealing with just a bad case of male baldness. We never see both of them together at the same time, do we?
I'm just asking. I'm just genuinely asking. I am not mocking.
Someone said it looks like she's wearing... We're having some pronoun issues on this particular story. Kaylee says she might want to rethink that, too. um marianne says oh geez i can't repeat that on the air wow these are people are really harsh sam says i've never seen that many man buns i'm just saying it's too early in the show for this i'm sorry i should have brought this up you bring this up at the very end of the show but it's the fault of our audience i mean we We got thousands of people commenting on this right now on our Facebook page. I'm just saying.
All that to say. They do look like man buns. They're definitely man buns. We're dealing with man buns. We're not saying she's a man.
We're just saying she decided to go with the new look. No, that is a bun, though. What are the women called the buns? I mean, you got the man bun, but do the ladies call theirs a lady bun? Or what do they call the bun?
I mean, all the Amish ladies have them. They look like, you know when. And librarians. Yeah, yeah.
Well, back before they went woke. No, they look like when you're sewing, you know, the knitting. A ball of yarn? Yeah, you go to Joanne Fabrics, which I think they just went out of business, and my mom would knit, my grandma would crochet, and they would have those big rows and aisles of massive balls of yarn. Stop.
It looks like she has three of these balls of yarn on her head.
So it could be that right off of the camera, Maybe the camera angle is Barack Obama, and he's knitting.
So he's just fiercely knitting. He's knitting the man buns. Dylan says. Dylan says. Dylan's entered the chat.
Dylan, do you want to say? It looks like the gingerbread man. It might be a little too niche, but the gingerbread man from Shrek specifically. Oh, Shrek.
Okay. Trying to come out of her head. Yes. I don't know. You know, I had a bad hairdo once.
You know, back when I was in, a lot of people don't realize this, but before my heart surgery, I have to take this medicine, and it makes your hair fall out over the years. But I used to have a big, great, beautiful head of hair. And someone convinced me, a group of our church friends, convinced me that I needed to get a perm. This was back in the late 80s when guys were getting the perms. And for whatever reason, the hairstylist I went to only permed half my head.
So it's like the bottom, it looked like I had a toupee or some sort of a raccoon that was on top of my head. It was not a good look for me. That was a bad year.
So all I'm saying is that, but I think I may have figured it out, fellas. Is it possible that her hairstylist and maybe her personal stylist were all funded by USAID money and it dried up?
So she's having to do this on her own now. Yeah. Could be. It could be. You know, she had gone through a couple different hairstyles while she was first lady.
Like, I remember, Todd, remember she had the bangs. She cut those bangs. And it was like a big story. It was everywhere.
So, but even with the bangs, she looked feminine. What I see here is just it's not feminine. Very manly. It's very masculine. Todd you couldn't even pull off these three man buns on your head I don't have enough hair for that I think we can maybe a half of a bun if Obama's knitting it I'm sure he can knit you a bun or maybe a slider I could do three slider buns I could get Wyatt Cox from our Nevada talk radio station said I was going to say back when you had hair thank you Wyatt Cox appreciate you anyway i'm just curious what that i just don't know what that is what kind of a statement is she trying to make her something's going on over there they've got some problems they have some issues and the whole something is going down and it will be very remarkable to see and you know who's going to get to the bottom of it donald j trump and i'm surprised trump hasn't weighed in on this but you know who has oh my gosh i gotta play this for you jd vance um just a little while ago was doing this podcast and do we have the jd vance he was weighing in on um uh kamala harris it's fascinating um we'll play that audio coming up after the break but uh i'm telling you jd vance is kind of like morphing into donald j trump with the one-liners uh he's getting pretty clever i'm just telling you the guy's pretty clever they say he's the only guy that will be able to pick up the torch in 2028.
There's really no one else to be the next standard bearer of the MAGA movement, so we'll have to see. All right. Oh, I have the video. You've got the video. All right, we're going to get the idea.
You guys are going to love it. Let's go to, you know what, let's go to Karen in Rutherford, Tennessee. All right, Karen, again, it's bad form for a man to be critical of a woman's hairstyle. I'm just, so I'm just trying to understand it. I'm trying to, So, you know, I'm missing the nuance here, apparently.
Well, Trump is not going to touch the Obamas with a 10-foot pole because she does not go by Michelle anymore. She goes by Mike.
Now, put two and two together, and what do you get? Big Mike? No, it can't be. Little Mike. Little Mike?
I'm hurting. i'm hurting wait michelle obama karen goes by mike yes she does it's all over facebook oh well if it's on facebook you know it's true right i mean that is the i mean that's the standard right the hairdo that i saw on her was a very short effort very short well again i know you know And she's trying to send a message here. That's the issue is that there is some sort of a message being sent that she wants to convey. And I think it's really sort of an up yours to America and to culture at large. And I think she's making a big change in who she is.
But the fascinating part about all of this, this whole story, Karen, about the podcast and the multiple man or woman buns and all of that is that nobody is actually listening to her podcast. Nobody's actually subscribing to this. And the shows they're doing are terrible for Netflix. And I think ultimately it's all a big sham that she was all of the attention, the media. It was all a setup.
And we're getting to see Michelle Obama for who she really is, so to speak. Yes, indeed. And if you remember correctly, back when he was president, she said, oh, this is the first time I've ever liked the United States. Oh, that's right.
Well, yes, Michelle Obama did say that back in the day. Karen, thank you for the call. And, again, I'd seen the reporting on Facebook. I don't know if anything official has been made at all. but there you go.
I wasn't going to bring this up. We have so much to talk about today. I mean, they're literally burning down Tesla dealerships. I'm going to get to that, but I'm just really fascinated by Michelle Obama. There is something going on.
And you know what I find fascinating is I think a lot of people, even on the left are like, dude, what's going on over there? I don't know. No one's allowed to ask these questions, but Todd will ask the hard-hitting questions no one will touch this subject one man bun okay no problem two two what's going on there but three all right various problems we got yeah we gotta talk we gotta talk all right 901-260-5926 is our number that's 901-260-5926 this is going to be a weird show today folks just buckle up we'll be right back are you looking to do something to better your health will look no further than And Kim Chi One from BrightCore Nutrition, Kim Chi One packs all the fermented nutrition of kimchi into convenient capsules, arming your gut with over 900 unique strains of probiotics, supporting gut flora and digestion.

Well, I don't have, you know, four shots of vodka before every meeting. That's one way I think that Kamala really tried to bring herself into the role is these word salads. And I think that I would need the help of a lot of alcohol to answer a question the way that Kamala Harris answered questions. all right there you go wow didn't he didn't expect that coming uh well done vice president jd vance explaining on a podcast how he is different than kamala harris so he's sober there you go as a matter of fact was it president trump was doing an interview with laura ingram and i've got to play this president trump was asked about his sleeping habits cut number 12 place. What do you do when you can't sleep?
Because you don't sleep. You're like me, you don't sleep at all. I know you just you just don't need a lot of sleep. But when you can't fall asleep, you wake up in the night. How do you go back to sleep?
The only thing I totally admired about sleepy Joe Biden is the following. He'd go to a beach. He'd lay down in a cot, barely able to get his feet through the sand. He'd lay down. And within minutes, he's sleeping and you have cameras watching him.
I could never do that. I would never be able to sleep like that. That's about But the only thing I think that was wonderful, it was a disaster. This man was a disaster. I don't sleep much.
You don't sleep much. A lot of people that love what they're doing don't sleep much, I find. And so far, it's been okay. I sleep four hours a day. I completely relate with the president when it comes to that.
But that's pretty darn funny what he just said. Todd doesn't sleep. Todd, are you just an immortal person? It's not normal. I will see Todd shooting out stories and writing stories at 11 o'clock at night, and then I do a morning show in Memphis.
And so I'm up pretty early, and Todd's still writing stories at 4 a.m. in the morning. And I'm thinking, Todd, your doctor said you needed eight hours of sleep. Why aren't you sleeping eight hours? I don't need eight hours of sleep.
I sleep four hours, five hours max, and I'm good to go. That's crazy because I need at least 12. How does that happen? I'm with Trump here, and I know it, you know, even with Trump's schedule, I mean, I don't know how the guy's able to do it, but a lot of people out there, and it may be an anomaly, but I just don't need a lot of sleep. I wonder if there are any other people out there like me.
They say the older you get not to bring up your age. Here it comes. It lessens.
So young whippersnappers like me, I'm not that young, I need at least 12 hours of sleep to have a full frontal lobe. And the older you get, I guess they say, the less sleep you need. There you go. I'll be taking naps when I'm 80. All right, folks, coming up, I've got something to say about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
She is now calling for violence against Elon Musk and Tesla. I say that Speaker Mike Johnson should expel her from Congress. What say you? We're going to be talking about that. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. A generation of children in El Salvador are lost to malnutrition, and the only way to a better future is through a school feeding program.

So our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I want to talk about Jasmine Crockett for just a moment here.
So over the weekend, there is going to be a nationwide protest. These demonstrations are going to be outside of every Tesla dealership in the nation.
Now, you need to understand that what's happening right now with all of these protesters and people firebombing Tesla dealerships, threatening Elon Musk, burning down the charging stations, doxing the private information of Tesla owners. This is all part of a coordinated effort. This is domestic terrorism, ladies and gentlemen, and that's what it is, and that's how this should be addressed. And honestly, I'm not all that thrilled with the way Attorney General Pam Bondi is handling this. I do not see a sense of urgency here.
This is being well-funded, and we need to find out who is funding all of this. And once we find out who's funding it and we arrest them, take them into custody, because these are basically the Osama bin Laden's, the people that are funding these protests against Elon.
Now, Jasmine Crockett is a congresswoman, and she doesn't like me at all, and I don't like her. She's got a filthy mouth. She's a liar, and she's a cosplayer. She has been given every advantage in this country, advantages that most Americans don't have, and yet she turns around and she plays the race card. She makes it out like she's been some sort of an oppressed woman when she has had every single benefit, every gift, every advantage, normally afforded to the 1% she has received.
So give me a break.
So now this woman, who has been one of the chief critics of Elon Musk, is calling for Elon to be taken down. And by the way, these protests are happening on her birthday. Cut number three.
So I'll make sure that I keep it short, but I am truly here for very selfish reasons. Starting with on March 29th, it's my birthday. And all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down. Yes. Listen, I have learned as I serve on the Doge Oversight Committee that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now.
And that language is money. she's advocating violence taking down uh elam us we know exactly what she's saying and what she's telling people to do as a matter of fact this is part of the this is part of the game plan here by the way this is the daily show yesterday we told you about jimmy kemmel we're going to play some more of kemmel in just a moment but the daily show's audience this is the response you need to here. Hear how they reacted regarding these domestic terrorist attacks against Tesla. Cut forward. Jim, they're taking to the streets or the parking lots.
Tonight, the FBI and ATF now investigating multiple cases of possible arson targeting Teslas and cyber trucks. This dramatic video shows multiple cars in flames. Police say the attacker used Molotov cocktails. It's the latest in more than a dozen instances of arson and vandalism targeting Tesla. The same suspect shot more Teslas with a gun.
Tesla cyber trucks were set on fire in Kansas City and earlier this month, shots fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon. Cyber trucks on fire in Seattle. Wow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh? Honestly, the FBI should have surrounded that studio and they should be investigating everybody who's out there cheering and encouraging this sort of domestic terrorism.
Somebody's going to get killed if this continues to go on unaddressed.
So look, did a little bit of a deep dive last night into what it takes to expel somebody from the House of Representatives. And it's a pretty simple process. And I'm just curious to know why Speaker Johnson has not already instigated expulsion proceedings against Jasmine Crockett. This is a woman who is using her platform to call for violence against Elon Musk, Tesla dealerships, and Tesla owners.
Somebody needs to be held accountable here. She's got to go. And she needs to face federal charges. It is a crime to do what Jasmine Crockett is doing. It is a crime for Jimmy Kimmel to do what he does, which is advocate for violence against Elon Musk.
Those are crimes, ladies and gentlemen. And I know that Mike Johnson is a good man. He is a devout evangelical Christian. WWJD. You know what Jesus would do?
I don't think Jesus would stand there and allow the terrorists to burn down a Tesla dealership. And I understand that Mike Johnson may not be up for the fight, but he's got to muster that moral courage to rise up and rule with an iron fist. we've got to put a stop to this or people are going to get hurt this is what concerns me we saw this when trump was running for the white house in the the first go around the brutal violent attacks on on america first conservatives people wearing maga hats they were i mean you guys remember that it was a terrible time a terrible time but i and you may disagree here and look, if you disagree, give me a call and explain your position, but I think we've got to play hardball with these people. Jasmine Crockett deserves to go to jail for what she's doing. And you have to ask yourself at the end of the day, what is the end goal?
Now, I talked about this in my morning radio commentary. You know, when you have to go all the way back to Obama back in 2007 when he was running for the White House, I was actually there. I was embedded in the campaign for Fox News, and I was there in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, when Barack Obama said to the crowd, if they bring a knife to the fight, Democrats should bring a gun. And then you've got, what, Attorney General Eric Holder, when they go low, we kick them. Remember that?
Maxine Waters said to absolutely harass Trump supporters in supermarkets and restaurants and gas stations. The Democrat Party, in its essence, its core, It's fundamental beliefs. They are nothing more than a gang of thugs. They don't believe in live and let live. They don't believe to agree to disagree.
The Democrats want to destroy all dissenting opinions. That's what's going on here with Elon Musk. Take a look at Elon. This guy, the richest man in the world, he didn't have to come to America. He wanted to come to America.
He came here the legal way. Elon Musk loves his country. It's his adopted country. Elon doesn't have to be here. Look at what he's done.
He is hiring well over 100,000 Americans, have jobs, good-paying jobs, because of Elon Musk. Elon Musk is building, manufacturing cars on American soil. Nobody else is doing that. They're all going overseas for the cheap labor. Elon said, I'm staying here, and I'm going to pay American workers, and I'm going to pay them a good wage with great benefits.
That Elon Musk This is a man who created and defended who created X and defended free speech People of all different backgrounds can come on X and talk about whatever they want to talk about This is a man who loves the country. And he realizes, and by the way, we're not talking about wasteful spending that Doge is after. That's not what's going on here. Elon Musk is uncovering corruption. He is uncovering money laundering.
And most of that money is going to the Democrat Party. But hold that thought for just a moment. But also, you better believe that a lot of establishment Republicans are getting cash under the table. Your hard-earned tax money. Elon Musk isn't looking for a single penny.
And people are out there like this idiot moron, Tim Waltz. Out to his hands. I love coaching football. All right, boys, let's get together in the locker room. Woo-hoo.
That guy, what a moron. Let me tell you something about Tim Waltz. Celebrating the fact that Tesla stock is plunging because of what's going on. This idiot doesn't understand that his own government, the Minnesota government, is invested in Tesla stock. Jeez-a-loo, America.
So again, take a long, hard look at the parties. And we may have a lot of young people listening to us, and maybe you're trying to figure out what party you want to be a part of. When you disagree with the Democrats, they want to destroy you. Look at Ben and Jerry's. They went woke.
What did conservatives do? Did they burn down Jerry Garcia? Did they go and kill all the dairy cows? No. They just stopped buying Jerry Garcia.
What about that spice company, Pensies? Oh, those people are disgusting. They hate you, Trump supporters. And they literally put out these postings talking about how Trump supporters are no longer welcome in their stores. All right, that's great.
Did we, what, burn down Pensies? No. We just went to Kroger and bought our paprika. Or the Piggly Wiggly. when Bud Light hired Dylan Mulvaney, that ugly dude, in a dress.
Can I just say, I get it. If you're going to go with a transgender, you want a transgender person to be your spokes babe? You could have found somebody that actually looked like a woman. But I digress. When Bud Light hired an ugly dude in a dress to promote their beer, what did we do?
Did we go out there and start busting open the kegs and pouring all the beer in the sewers? No. Americans found another way to quench their thirst. I'd like a Baptist martini, please. Make it a double.
For you Lutherans out there in the hill country of Texas, that's a Diet Coke with a wedge of lemon. That's what conservatives do. They just go somewhere else. But when the Democrats, when they disagree, they firebomb your stores, they burn down your homes, and they dox law-abiding American citizens. And that is not right.
And that has to stop. And it is time for the Attorney General Pam Bondi, get your butt off of Fox News, get into the DOJ headquarters, and start doing your job. I'm tired of it. I've seen Pam Bondi more on Fox News than Jesse Waters, and he actually gets a paycheck from the place.
So, yeah, I'm getting a little frustrated right now because of the lack of urgency here. And Speaker Mike Johnson, you've got to get it together, sir, and you've got to fight. We've got to have a fighter here. We've got to start punishing these people. Jasmine Crockett deserves to be in jail.
She deserves to lose her seat in Congress. Jimmy Kimmel, ABC News, where's the FCC? If we were going on the radio advocating for violence against anybody, they would shut me down in a heartbeat.
So why is it that Jimmy Kimmel is still on the air? Why is it that The Daily Show is still on the air? All right, we've got to take a break. We're going to the phone lines, 901-260-5926. That is our telephone number, 901-260-5926.
I've got to tell you about our friends at Old Glory Bank. You talk about finding other venues, other avenues, doing things in a law-abiding way. When the big bank started debanking a lot of conservative businesses and conservative Americans, guess what happened? Our good friends, Dr. Ben Carson, John Rich, Larry Elder, they created Old Glory Bank.
A little bit of guesswork, obviously. I don't talk to a company. This is an incredible bank. Old Glory Bank, they support hardworking Americans, small businesses, and your constitutional rights. No cancel culture, no woke nonsense.

MyPillow.com, promo code STARNS, or call 800-839-8506. all right coming up we're going to be checking in with the white house deputy press secretary harrison fields he's joining the show also kristen new who is with moms for liberty and talking about the big news coming out today president trump is going to um to release an executive order abolishing the department of education uh let's go to the phone lines 901 82260-5926. Regina in Georgia, WDUN, starting our day. Hi, Regina. What's on your mind?
Hey, how are you, Todd? It's good to be on the line here. I was commenting about Jasmine Crockett. Every time you play her, it just kind of turns my stomach. I know that you have to tell what's going on, but, gee, I wish I didn't have to hear her voice.
I know what's coming after the first two words out of her mouth. But anyway, Rush Limbaugh used to say that the Democrats were totally, not just unhinged, but they really are off in their heads. They really have a mental problem because of their hate toward Trump. And it has just turned into something really sour and demented. But anyway, I felt like that's the way she is.
and uh here's the kicker she said that her birthday is march 29th and that is my birthday also so i'm just going to try to put that aside and oh regina yes don't yes don't worry yeah put that out of your mind regina absolutely but you're you're right you know and rush is right Rush was right that the liberalism is a mental disorder, and there's really no other way to explain it when you see the crazy things that they are endorsing now. And we're going to get into what happened at a girls' track meet over in Oregon in the next hour. But, yeah, these people are slap crazy, as we used to say back in Tennessee. Yes, sir. All right, Regina, well, I'm going to wish you a happy early birthday and just have a great, great day, lots of cake, and maybe buy yourself a Tesla.
All righty then. All right. Thanks, Regina. All right. There you go.
901-260-5926. I do feel bad when we have to play things like Jasmine Crockett, and we try to limit those things. And the reason why is it can cause your ears to bleed. These liberals are a very unpleasant bunch. They really are.
901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. So I mentioned this story out of Portland. I've got time to squeeze this in before the top of the hour break. This was at the Portland Interscholastic League Girls 400-meter varsity race.
The winner finished more than seven seconds ahead of his female competitors. It turns out the fastest girl in Oregon is a boy.
Now, this guy's name is Aiden Gallagher, McDaniel High School. He won a gold medal in the race. He also won a gold in another race, and he's just pretending to be a girl. And it's not even close. And, Dieter, I know you're a competitive runner.
You do long distance, and, I mean, you are a fast runner. But it would almost be like you deciding, I'm going to run against the girls. I mean, he could have taken a nap by the time his nearest competitor crossed the finish line. It's so incredibly unfair. Like anybody that's ever run a race or run competitively knows, Nick, I'm training right now for the Boston Marathon and guys that want to qualify for the Boston have to run it 30 minutes quicker than females because they understand we have a biological advantage.
They get 30 extra minutes just because they're girls. And that would be like me taking the girls' time and then like give me the extra 30 because instead of Ben, I want to be Becky. Like that's insane.
So last year, I knew this guy's name sounded familiar. He was booed last year after he started winning all these girls' races last year.
So, yeah. But I don't blame the kid, though. I mean, he can't compete with the boys, so he sees an opportunity.
Okay, he's going to pretend to be a girl, and he's winning all these races. You know who I blame? Ben, when you go back and watch that video, and folks watch the video, not a single parent in the stands objected, not a one. and I got to blame the school administrators and the coaches and I got to blame the parents. Parents, why would you why would you just stay silent?
And I think a lot of it is because they're afraid of this transgender mob. What is it Bonhoeffer said? Silence in the face of evil is evil itself. I saw a whole lot of evil in the stands in Portland, Oregon. All right.
We're going to take your calls on that story as well. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Hair thinning can happen for so many reasons. Whether it's strenus or hormones or anything, at Nutrafol, we've learned that real change starts below the surface.
Our hair growth supplements take a whole body approach and target the key root causes of hair thinning.
So you can see visibly thicker, stronger hair in three to six months. Hair growth starts from the inside at Nutrafol.com. That's N-U-T-R-A-F-O-L dot com. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. That's us, that's right.
I love this American ride. And hello everybody, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Thank you for joining the show, border to border, coast to coast, across the Fruited Plain. Coming up in just a few moments, we're going to check in at the White House. A big day, historic day, as President Trump issues an executive order that will abolish the Department of Education.
Folks, I have been a fierce advocate of this for at least the past two decades. It is a big, big deal. and I'm excited that the White House is going to move forward on this effort. By the way, our telephone number, we're going to get to your calls in just a few moments here, so hang tight if you're on hold. We're getting to your calls, 901-260-5926.
That's 901-260-5926. Lacey has been listening to us in the Woodlands in Texas on Patriot Talk 920. Lacey, welcome to the show. What's on your mind? Thank you.
I want to say I've only listened a couple months to you, and I thoroughly enjoy your show. You have such a great variety of topics.
Well, thank you. Yesterday, you mentioned that they want to give guns to the mentally ill or whatever. Who's giving the guns? Is it the Democrats? Because they're so against the guns.
Well, they only want the criminals to have the guns. I don't know what it's like in the Houston area, but in Memphis, where we base our show, They would rather take away the guns from law-abiding American citizens and allow the criminals to have the guns.
Well, my personal opinion is I think the Secret Service should not have any guns that protect the Democratic presidential people. That would be the best thing. If you're so against guns, you know what I'm saying? If they don't believe in guns, then the Democrats should not have any guns protecting them. Yeah, Lacey, I'm with you a thousand percent there.
You know, fine. If you want to be anti-gun, great. We'll just take away your security detail, and we wish you the very best of luck. Yeah, exactly. All right.
Hey, Lacey, hang tight. As a way of saying welcome to the neighborhood, we want to send you a little gift so Ms. Kansi will get all your information.
So don't go anywhere. Just hang tight. And thank you so much for listening to us on Patriot Talk 920.
Well, as promised, I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and welcome into the conversation Harrison Fields, who is a principal deputy press secretary. Harrison, I know you guys have a very busy afternoon there at the White House. Yes, we do, and it's always a pleasure to join you, Todd. You know, I'm excited about this. For me, this was the most important thing for President Trump to do, this executive order on the Education Department.
Can you give us some guidance on what we can expect the president will do this afternoon? Yes, so this is another promise made, promise kept. And we know that the Department of Education, since its inception, has done nothing to improve educational outcomes for America's children. We spend some of the highest dollar amounts when it comes to our education. When it comes to the developed world, we rank near the bottom.
That doesn't make sense. That's not the way we should do this.
So we look at states like Arizona, like my home state of Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. These are states that are doing education well. We need to take away federal government imposing its will on something that parents, students, and teachers should really have the true provision over, which is the educational success of our students. That's exactly what we're doing. We're empowering states and communities and, most importantly, parents and students on the future of education.
And this is a long overdue goal of the Republican Party, something that only President Trump could make happen.
So we've already seen the reports from, I think it was a week or so ago, may have been a bit longer, when Education Secretary Linda McMahon went in and people were laid off. They were let go, sent home. What is the next stage then? Will the entire department be dismantled?
So the idea here is for the Secretary, Linda McMahon, to facilitate a plan on how to close the department.
Now, what does that actually look like? we will look at the responsibilities, the crucial responsibilities of the agency and see where they're going to end up being housed. We know that we have student loans. We have Title I. We have IEDA money, which goes to people with disabilities.
We have Pail Grants. There will be elements of the Department of Education that we will still need to house, but house in a different agency, whether that's DOJ, HHS, or any of the other ones. But the key here is to break up the department and give its power, mainly the resources that the agency has, back to the state.
So what does that mean? Governors, superintendents, local school boards will be able to have these dollars. And the goal here is to have that money trace the student and not trace this idea of education. When money is actually in the hands of parents and the hands of students to develop their educational choices, students have way better outcomes. That's what we want to see.
Harrison Fields from the White House, Deputy Press Secretary, joining us on the show today. And Harrison, it seems as though the more money that is allocated to the school districts, for example, in Memphis, Tennessee, which is my hometown, you've got kids at a reading level at maybe 22 percent. It's just shocking. And yet they get more money than any other school district in the state. And I'm just wondering, and especially when it comes to the Department of Education, What is all that money actually going to?
Well, it's a good question. If you look at states, people like to use liberal cities like Baltimore, New York City, or Chicago as like the leading metrics. But if you look in 2003, 13 of Baltimore's high schools had zero students who tested proficient in math. This is a state and a city in which they quote-unquote prioritize education and prioritize funding when it comes to student outcomes. But kids in Baltimore can't read.
13-year-olds' mathematics scores are the lowest they've been in decades. We also see reading scores the lowest in 30 years.
So spending money isn't helping this situation. You have a lot of students, both in rural and urban communities, that are failing on the basics when it comes to reading, writing, and arithmetic.
So we need to get back to the basics. We need to make sure that parents are empowered to have dominion over their child's education. And we need to make sure the money is actually being delivered to students because we don't know where the money is going. It's obviously not going to their success. We need to follow the model of Florida, which is a great state.
Arkansas is doing amazing things. Tennessee is doing amazing things. And their governors, most of them, will be here today in support of the president's mission. What is it? It just seems like there and I know that you guys have just done a deep dive on all of this, but it seems to me there are a couple of issues.
Number one, moms and dads have a responsibility to start the reading process at home. I mean, that's that is something that parents need to be doing. But it just seems to me if you're in whatever age, let's say second grade, you should be able to read and write and you're not able to read and write. It seems to me that at that very moment, decisions need to be made to figure out what went wrong and to fix the problem. If it's in the classroom, get new teachers.
If it's a curriculum, get new curriculum. But we can't keep doing the same thing we're doing here. Yeah, it's the definition of insanity. And to your point, would a student struggling in, let's say, Memphis, Tennessee, be better served from a bureaucrat that served 25 years at the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., Or would they be better served by someone on the school board in Memphis or the governor of Memphis or the governor of Tennessee that is able to actually understand what is going on on a granular level when it comes to education in any locality across this country? The Department of Education, based here in Washington, D.C., has no idea what a student in my hometown of Wellington, Florida, needs to succeed.
But I can tell you this, the superintendent, the school board, the governor, the representatives on the ground, they all understand what's going to help these students succeed. And we need to make sure we bring this back to the states and localities. All right. Harrison, before we let you go, I've got to ask you about Tesla. This is domestic terrorism, what we're seeing happen around this country.
And first of all, it's just not fair to Elon Musk, who is, quite frankly, the epitome of the American dream. Coming here, he's an immigrant, came here, built a massive company. We ought to be celebrating this man. And instead, you've got the Democrats out there firebombing his Tesla dealerships. You've got all these protests playing.
And I'm curious, how concerned is the White House that this is getting out of control? Yeah, it's getting out of control.
Someone is going to get hurt. The worst fear of all is someone dying as a matter of this type of anarchy and domestic violence or domestic terrorism. This is exactly what we're seeing. The attorney general, Pam Bondi, is leading the charge on this issue, making sure that we are going to hold accountable anyone who commits any type of domestic terrorism against any American company, especially Tesla. You know, when Democrats were promoting DEI and the craziness that they did with Bud Light, Republicans like myself, we just stopped buying the beer.
We didn't dare throw Molotov cocktails into a Bud Light distillery. We didn't shoot anybody related to Bud Light. We didn't commit violence. We just hit them where it hurts, the pocketbook. That's what we do.
We don't do this type of nonsense. Democrats have to lower their rhetoric, and it's very disappointing to see what people are doing. And the other thing about it, Caroline Levitt talks about it so much. Who is the primary owner of Tesla? Democrats.
That's it. Democrats love EVs.
So they're hurting their own cause. Real quick, I want to play this. This is Jasmine Crockett, congresswoman from Texas, and this is going viral. Guys, cut three, please.
So I'll make sure that I keep it short, but I am truly here for very selfish reasons. starting with on March 29th, it's my birthday. And all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Eli to be taken down. Yes. All right.
That kind of rhetoric coming from a member of Congress, Harris? It's dangerous rhetoric. Had a white Republican say this about a black business owner, she would have been out there calling for this person's execution because she would have seen it as racist. Jasmine Crockett is not a serious person. I don't know how she managed to hoodwink enough people to vote her into office.
She's not a serious person. I don't see her future in politics lasting very long. We need people like Jasmine Crockett out of our political discourse because it's not helpful. It's dangerous. And she has to tamp down her rhetoric.
And I would call on Hakeem Jeffries to get his caucus in order because the rhetoric of her and others is very dangerous. Seems to me that they need to take a long, hard look at expelling people that utter that kind of rhetoric. Because you're right, it's getting really dangerous out there. It is. It is.
It's unacceptable. And as a country, we need to be united. And we have to support American businesses. That's exactly what we're doing here. Yes, exactly.
We're making cars on American soil with American people. Unbelievable. All right. Harrison, I know you've got a busy day. And we really appreciate you taking time for our audience.
and we just appreciate the great work you guys are doing. Yeah, be well in Memphis. Take care. All right, Harrison Fields, everybody, a special assistant to the president, also deputy press secretary, and you see him on the channels quite a bit, and we're glad to have him. And we'll have more Trump administration folks coming through the program here in the coming days.
So the question, ladies and gentlemen, as we go to break, do you believe this is the right call? Do you want to see the Department of Education abolished and that control return back to the states? Our number, 901-260-5926. Again, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Also, I want to remind you that all this month I've been telling you about how a generation of children in El Salvador were in danger of being lost to malnutrition.
And by the way, President Trump, a huge fan of El Salvador right now. they're taking in these very dangerous illegal aliens.
So they're opening up their prisons and they're shoving these people in their prisons. But they've got a lot of problems in El Salvador, a lot of poverty. But because of your generosity, they are now seeing a brighter future through a very special school lunch feeding program. And it's made possible by so many of you. We're heading towards the very end of the campaign.
And there are still a few days left for you to join this wonderful life-saving effort. Go to ToddSterns.com. Click on the blue Feed Your Future banner at the very top of the page, and your gift in any amount, it could be $10, it could be $100, any amount you can give is going to make a huge difference.
Now, I want you to understand just $100, it feeds a child through the school lunch program for an entire year, $100. If you can spare $25 or $30, what most of us spend on a pizza, we're going to combine your gift with many others. And every time we hit another $100, another boy or girl will receive school lunch for the next 12 months. And you truly are doing this. You're being the hands and the feet of Christ by helping the poorest people in our own hemisphere.
So go to ToddSterns.com. Make a generous gift. Help hungry boys and girls right here in our own hemisphere. You can also text the word Todd to 51555. We're going to send you back a link to join the campaign.

You know, it really is a big debate and discussion among folks. Do you homeschool your kids? Do you pull your kids out of the public schools and send them to a private school? And I will say in the Memphis area, we've got a couple of really amazing Christian private schools, and they're rock-solid, conservative. The kids are getting an incredible education.
I'm thinking about Briarcrest. I'm thinking about First Assembly, which is an incredible school, and Christian Brothers Catholic High School. It's an amazing school. Kids are getting an education, and they're coming out patriots who actually know their pronouns. Is it ECS, Evangelical Christian?
So incredible Christian schools in the Memphis area. And we have seen a massive, I mean, the list waiting to get into the private schools, just unbelievable. Or do you stay in the public school system and you fight Now I like to hear from you on that because a lot of people are saying no no no we got to stay we got to fight we got to save our schools But the problem I have with that is that in many cases, your kids for eight hours a day are being filled with propaganda, an ideology that you may not even be aware of. They're teaching your kids and they're not telling you everything. How was school today?
What'd you learn at school today huh i'm hungry those are your kids right you know you've been there so anyway i'm curious what do you what is the best course here is it homeschooling is it private schooling or do you keep your kids in the public school 901-260-5926 our number that's 901-260-5926 And I will say this, I see everybody's side on this, because ultimately it's your child we're talking about, and you want to make sure they're going to get a good education. But let me say this, if you are a taxpayer, I don't care if you're 90 years old or 19 years old, you've got a say. You have skin in the game. Your tax dollars are funding those school systems, and you need to be paying very close attention to what your local school district is doing to your kids. Even if you don't have kids, you've got a responsibility.
There was a big school board race in one of the Memphis suburbs, and people were upset because one of the people running their kids were already out of the school system.
So what? It shouldn't matter. If you're an American citizen, if you're a law-abiding taxpayer, then you ought to be able to be on those school boards. You ought to be volunteering. What happens is moms and dads get so busy with life, they let other people do everything else for them.
And I hate to say this about the church community at large, but the church community at large is so busy doing their, I don't know, American Idol shows on Sundays that pass for church services these days that they've stopped doing the important thing of the day, which is, again, being salt and light. Unfortunately, a lot of churches on a sodium-free diet these days, and that's unfortunate. All I'm saying is a lot of people took their eye off the most important things, and the government stepped in, and the country is right now being saved from ruin by Donald J. Trump. All right, got to take a break here, folks.
901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926 This is the Todd Stern Show Alright, welcome back to the Todd Stern's radio show Thank you for listening Let's go right to the phone lines Lake City, Texas Carol is listening to us on our brand new affiliate Patriot Talk 920 Hi Carol, what's on your mind? Yeah, the schools. My husband was a parochial school teacher and a public school teacher. And I want to just recommend that everybody send their kids to parochial school because they have more control over what the teachers are teaching their children.
Is that the Catholic schools, Carol? No, the Lutheran schools. Lutherans. All right. I know the Catholic schools.
We'll ask Harry Hurley about this. He's coming up in just a second. But I know those nuns used to run those schools and rule them with the rulers. That'll give you a good whack. Yes, and I went to Lutheran Parochial School, and the principal would have a paddle in his office, and if you misbehaved, he could use it.
Oh, yeah. I went to public school in Mississippi, which is pretty much the same as a parochial school. We had a pastor, a principal, who walked the hallways with a fiberglass paddle, had holes drilled in it. And you better believe we towed the line, Carol. Yes, and that's what children need.
They need discipline, and they need to know that if they do something wrong, it's going to be punished.
Well said, Carol.
Well, look, thank you for calling in. Don't be a stranger, and hang tight. We're giving all of our listeners on Patriot Talk a welcome to the neighborhood gift basket.
So we're going to put you on hold, and Cassie, while I get your info, Carol. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend, the great radio host from Atlantic City, New Jersey, Harry Hurley. Hurley, were you a good kid growing up in school?
Well, I was fortunate. I was a good kid. I went to public schools.
However, my father went to Catholic schools, and I can testify on the great Todd Starnes show that he used to write left-handed, and his left hand was treated very special until he switched to be a right-hander. Did you know that was a big deal? I did not know that was a big deal. Oh, no, no. It was a big deal.
It was considered not Christian. And if you notice, desks are all made for right-handers. My father was encouraged, I will say, to switch to right-hand. I have never heard this before. True story.
Wow. Everything I've learned about Catholic school, I learned from the Blues Brothers.
So I'm not sure how accurate that actually is. what i told you happened though that's the fact wow that's crazy harry um by the way i i just have to brag on you you're one of my favorite talk radio hosts i know you guys don't carry my show uh but you're still one of my favorite radio hosts um and it's the reason why is because you do radio the way it should be done it is local and you are so involved i mean you talk about the charities and the amount of money that you and your listeners have raised for for the betterment of the community. It's just really remarkable.
Well, you flew in for us, and you were a big, big part of a wonderful year and charity dinner that we did that raised many tens of thousands of dollars, and I'm always so grateful for you, Todd.
Well, it's a fine thing you guys are doing there at WPG Talk Radio in Atlantic City. You know, Harry, we've been following these attacks on Tesla dealerships. I say it's just flat-out domestic terrorism, and we ought to start treating these people as domestic terrorists. What say you? Ditto.
They are domestic terrorists. It is domestic terrorism. And isn't it amazing how hypocritical our friends on the left are? They have nothing to say. While cars are burning, dealerships are burning, other vandalism.
And I think a lot of your listeners know, you start a fire in a Tesla vehicle, it's very, very difficult to put out. These lithium batteries and such, I mean, they burn uncontrollably.
Somebody's going to die. The left doesn't care. They're totally hypocritical. They should never comment again. How about the way they flip out on things that President Trump says, things that President Trump supporters say, here's actual violence and destruction going on, and they say nothing?
No, they don't. And a lot of these people, you know, it's all politics. I mean, there's audio of all of these folks just years ago talking about the same things that Elon Musk is talking about doing now. Like, for example, oh, geez, Alou, his name just slipped me, but he owns the Dallas basketball team. Yeah, Mark Cuban.
Mark Cuban, thank you. He was all for, thank you. My brain is nodding your right now. I'm here, Todd. You got my back.
but but this guy was talking years ago about how we got to cut the government he wanted to cut the government by an entire third i mean yeah and now they're raging against elon and by the way this is such a great point that you're making todd they're flipping out over elon musk and his doge team finding actual fraud waste and abuse 300 year old people methuselah is collecting social security. You knew that, Todd, right? I mean, it's unbelievable. They're only talking about waste. Democrats translate that into Elon Musk and, by extension, President Trump want to cut social security.
What a lie. We know the president is on the record saying he wants to make social security tax-free the way it always was, by the way, until early 1980s. It should be tax-free because the Taxes have already been paid once. And that's a very fair argument to make. But again, when you look at this Trump arrangement syndrome that's affected the Democrats, I mean, they're in a, I think their party, it's over for these guys.
I don't see them rebounding from this. Todd, think about this. They are right now the party of, we don't stand up for 13-year-old boys with cancer. We don't stand up for the matriarch of the Nangare family. We don't stand up for the matriarch and sister of Lake and Riley's family.
They don't stand up when the president walks into the chamber. I mean, they are completely just out of control. They've got nothing. Years ago, I predicted, when the AOC was first elected, I said, watch out, folks. This is the future of the party, and the people coming behind her are going to be even more radical than she is.
And then we've got the survey that came out a couple of days ago saying that AOC is considered to be the leader, the de facto leader of the Democrat Party. Those kinds of people are not electable on a nationwide level, maybe locally in your districts, but not nationally. You couldn't be more correct. Let's look at the numbers. NBC, 27 percent approval for Democrats.
CNN, 29 percent approval rating for Democrats. What are you going to win with that? Yeah, it's a fair point. Harry, I'm curious here in Atlantic City, you guys in New Jersey, I know there is going to be a fierce gubernatorial campaign. We've got every guy running wants to be on my Newsmax show.
I know they've been making the visits to WPG. Is it possible? Do you think that we could see New Jersey turn red this election cycle coming up?
Well, I'm going to guarantee it on the Todd Starnes show. Jack Cittarelli, who barely lost in 2021, had the Republican National Committee believed that he could win. They were stupid enough to believe, I have to use that term, because they were believing Democrat polls that Jack Cittarelli was getting blown out. He got 48.5% of the popular vote before Republicans in New Jersey fixed the early voting and the vote-by-mail problem that they had had. Jack Cittarelli is going to follow in a long line, 30, 40 years old, of when you narrowly lose, you win the next time.
And I could cite it. Jim Florio beat Tom Kane, or Tom Kane beat Jim Florio barely. Jim Florio became the next governor. It happened with Christy Whitman when she barely lost to Bill Bradley. She became the next governor.
Jim McGreevy, so this is bipartisan, Todd, Democrat, barely lost to Christy Whitman. He became the governor the next time. jack chitarelli barely lost in an incumbent's re-election bid to governor phil murphy jack chitarelli mark the tape ben mark the tape jack chitarelli is the next governor of the state of new jersey i'm marking it down you and i need to talk off air about the gubernatorial race because i've got a lot of people that are wanting to come on and i need to get i need to get the lowdown you got it all right and good good because again people don't realize this harry and i don't hope but I'm not breaking a secret here, but South Jersey is basically like Mississippi and Tennessee. I mean, you guys drive around in pickup trucks and listen to country music.
So you do have accents, though.
Well, that's funny. We talk funny. I know we get told that from time to time by great gentlemen like you. Although we do have the dialect that most of the nation prefers for broadcasting, believe it or not.
South Jersey. It is true.
Okay. I don't believe that, but okay. I know. It's true. It's true.
Look it up. Oh, my word. But, Harry, we've got to leave it there. I've got to get you back on. We've got to be able to have a longer conversation.
But you're doing well. Everybody's doing well. Mrs. Hurley's doing good. She is doing good.
She sends her regards. Thank you for all you do, both on TV and on radio. You are a great friend and a great patriot. I see you on Newsmax, too. You're cheating on me, Hurley.
I saw you doing those early shows.
Well, when they invite me, you know my propensity. I say yes. No, we're going to get you back on the Newsmax show as well. Thank you, Todd. All right.
Harry Hurley, everybody. This guy, he's just amazing. He really is. And we're blessed with so many good friends in the radio business. All right, here's the deal.
We've got to take a quick, quick break. But you know what? Let's go to Drew real quick, and then we'll take a break. Drew calling from Memphis, Tennessee, KWAM, our flagship station. Drew, what's on your mind?
Hey, Tom. Thanks, man. Yeah, real quick. I just love the irony of all of the destruction of the Teslas and everything here.
So not too long ago, just a few years ago, the left was shouting about, you know, if you're not for electric vehicles, if you're not for hybrid electric vehicles, well, then you must be some dumb, uneducated, southern racist bigot.
Well, okay, fast forward a few years, and oh, look, if you're for the most successful selling electric vehicle, gee, you must be a racist bigoted Nazi. I just love how, well, gee, what happened to the so-called climate change? You know, it's just funny. I love how they just switch just like that just because of who's in charge of Tesla. You know what I mean?
It's just hilarious. Drew, you're right. And it's the irony and the hypocrisy of it all. Drew, we've got to leave it there, my friend. I'm late for a break.
901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. this is a fascinating statistic i and i'm i'm really not surprised by this but the average american spends approximately eleven hundred dollars on coffee every year however if you make your coffee at home which is what i've been doing really for the past couple of months now with the wire to wire to fish coffee uh if you make your coffee at home it can cost as little as $105 a year, even if you drink it every single day.
So you're looking at a lot of savings just by brewing your own coffee. And I've done away with the pods and the Keurigs. There's just something about a delicious, fresh-brewed batch of coffee. And I want to go to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. I'm honored to have Leah Thomas with us.
She is with Wired2Fish Coffee, the newest sponsor of the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Leah, I think you're one of my favorite people in America.
well Todd I hope it's for our give back not our coffee well it's for both I mean I just the coffee is amazing it's delicious and and I love the the fact that you are giving back so much 25 percent of your profits to faith-based organizations and clean water initiatives but the coffee itself there's just something delicious about I don't know what it is but it really is the quality and The taste is so different than what I've had in the other blends.
Well, it took us about three months to settle on our blend, and our roaster is just a technical genius. He was trained in one of America's premium roasting houses, so we deliver consistent, amazing, smooth coffee cup after cup.
So when you talk about the coffee being crafted, it's like 100%. Tell us about the beans that you guys use. Yeah, we source our beans fair trade in programs in Mexico and Guatemala. Fair trade basically means that there's no child labor. All of the workers are working in safe and healthy conditions, and the wage is fair for the community, which that's kind of subjective, as we all know, in third-world countries.
but we're not subjecting our coffee growers to inhumane salaries just because we can. And so we're pretty picky about that. We have an aerobica blend that is sourced through those two countries, and we source at least a year in advance.
So we're able to maintain a reasonable, you were talking about coffee cost. We're able to maintain reasonable coffee costs for a craft cup of coffee because we source a full year in advance.
So these tariffs that you're seeing on a lot of these countries, they don't affect us because we're not in that bucket of emergency buying or even cheap bean buying.
So we're able to just deliver in a better way to our consumer.
So no doubt about it. The name of the company is a little quirky for a coffee company because it's called Wired2Fish Coffee. And what I love about what you guys do, you guys are very passionate about fishing and outdoors and making sure that we've got clean water for the fish.
So when you're out there as anglers, you want to protect what God created for us to enjoy. And we're called to be good stewards of that. And you guys also donate profits to those clean water initiatives as well. We do. That's really the foundation of the brand was on the Clean Water and Water Conservation Foundation.
We added some faith when we felt like God told us to, but the reality is that we are, like you said, we're charged to be stewards of the earth. And the brand, I mean, I think it's a great tongue-in-cheek brand. We're wired to fish. We're wired to fish for fish. We're drinking good coffee, and we're wired to fish for men.
I love this. And, folks, I want to encourage you to go to wired2fishcoffee.com. That's wired2fishcoffee.com, the number two, by the way.
So wired2fishcoffee.com. And you're going to be able to see all the different kinds of coffee they offer. And it's just a really good brew. It is the official coffee of the Todd Sturge Radio Show and of our local radio station in Memphis, KWAM. And our staff just loves it.
I think we're going to have to place another order very soon.
Well, that would be great. We love that you love it. And we also are having a special right now on our medium roast, which is our most best-selling one. Our two-pound bags are normally $25.99, and they're $21.99 right now. And then add another 10% off for the discount Starnes, and you're getting a fantastic bag of coffee for under $20.
bucks thank you for reminding us the discount code stars and you're going to get a discount folks so again try it out you're going to love it and again we try out everything that we promote we talk about on this radio program and we we know that you are going to love wiretofishcoffee.com and use that code stars all right leah this is exciting and i'm just so happy for you guys and i know that Our listeners are enjoying the coffee, and we love the partnership.
Well, we do too, Todd. It's been really fun to watch your customers come onto our site and buy our brew, and we're grateful for your audience, and we're grateful for the partnership as well. I love this. And, folks, again, Wired2Fish Coffee, they partner with influencers, organizations like Jim Crowley Outdoors, and I think that's an important thing. You know, we are called to be good stewards of God's creation.
And I just really appreciate the efforts here and the fact that they're also giving back 25% of their profits to faith-based organizations. You're getting great coffee, and you're also helping out some incredible ministries around the world and right here in the United States.
So, all right, Leah, we're going to leave it there. Always great hearing from you, and thank you again for the delicious coffee. You bet, Todd. Thank you so much for the time. All right.
Go check them out, folks. WiredToFishCoffee.com. That's WiredToFishCoffee.com. That's the number two, by the way.
So just don't write out two or you're going to get some other website.
So it's wired2fishcoffee.com, the number two. All right, coming up, we're going to be talking with Moms for Liberty about the executive order President Trump is expected to sign this afternoon. Also, Congressman Pete Sessions is going to join us. He co-chairs the Doge Caucus, and he's got some things to say about not only the acts of domestic terrorism, but also these judges. I forgot to ask Harrison.
I was wondering if they've actually got an office pool at the White House as to which federal judge is going to intervene and put a stop to the abolishment of the Department of Education.
Well, anyway, we're going to talk to Congressman Sessions about that and what Congress can do to stop these radical activist judges. Hey, our number, folks, 901-260-5926. This is The Todd Starnes Show. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's us, that's right.
I love this American ride. Todd Starks. Where was their criticism of our nation's failing test scores for the last several decades? The Department of Education was founded in the 1970s, and since then we have spent more than $3 trillion at this federal bureaucracy. What has been the return on that investment for the American taxpayer?
Levels that are less than ideal, less than proficient. Our children's test scores are incredibly concerning when it comes to reading rates, literacy rates math and science test scores the numbers prove that and the president is finally this president is finally taking much needed action to return education to where it belongs and that's to educators closest to students in their classrooms in their respective states we're going to have a great event here later at four o'clock there will be students here teachers here parents here educators and of course governors from around the country who are very excited about taking on this responsibility to educate our nation's students. All right, that's Caroline Levin, the White House press secretary, just moments ago on the White House lawn talking to reporters about the big event coming up this afternoon. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.
So very happy to have you with us. A lot going on this hour. By the way, Congressman Pete Sessions from Texas is going to be joining us. He's co-chair of the Doge Caucus. He'll be joining us in just a little while.
Also, our telephone number, write this down if you want to call in today. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Since 1979, the U.S. Department of Education has spent over $3 trillion with nothing to show for it, nothing at all.
Math and reading scores for 13-year-olds, lowest level in decades. Sixth and ten fourth graders, nearly three-quarters of eighth graders, are not proficient in math.
So whatever we are doing is not working, and President Trump says we've got to fix it.
Well, I want to bring into the conversation a good friend of mine and this program. Her name is Kristen New. She heads up the Moms for Liberty with Moms for Liberty here in the Memphis area, Shelby County. Kristen, good to have you with us today. Thanks for having me on.
So how big of a deal is this, that the president abolishes the Department of Education and returns control back to the states?
Well, it's constitutional, right? education is not enumerated in our Constitution.
So he's going to the playbook that has been set out for us by our forefathers, and that is anything that is not enumerated in the Constitution needs to be returned to the states. And like Caroline said in your clip there, the people at the Department of Education, we did not vote for them. They don't know our students like we do, and so we need to get back to local control, and that has been the mantra of Moms for Liberty since the beginning. I think one of the big problems here when you look at local control, because that's going to be problematic. We had the Deputy White House Press Secretary on earlier in the show saying, you know, who's better to decide than the locals, than the good people in Memphis, Tennessee?
Well, our school board's about to be taken over by the state.
So that is a good thing, but it could be a bad thing. And I think to that point, it is vitally important that we have partisan school board races. And if we do not, then we're never going to be able to fix what's broken. You know, a lot of the onus has got to go back onto the parents as well, because the parents need to take charge of their schools. And we're finally seeing that happen here in Memphis where the parents are starting to show up for school board meetings.
When back in 2020 during COVID, we couldn't get parents to show up to school board meetings, even though they were violating our rights and our children's educational rights.
So when the parents start showing up, that's when changes are made.
So the parents are actually doing a good thing in Memphis, and then they're starting to wake up to what's wrong. And that's because of the efforts of people like you and the Moms for Liberty. It's, you know, bulldogging these issues. I know in the suburbs, Germantown, which is a very affluent suburb of Memphis, you would think it's, I think the population there is pretty darn conservative, but I don't know how they elected all these liberals to the school board.
Well, because we didn't know.
So most people don't know where their school board candidate stands on political issues because they constantly tell you that the school board is not political. Of course it's political. You have to be living under a rock if you think that schools are not political when they're putting political agendas into your children's classrooms.
So what are some of the things that you guys have discovered? Let's talk, for example, in Germantown and then in Memphis, but in Germantown, again, a conservative community, but the school's anything but. Right.
So they are putting trans ideology into the minds and hearts of our children, and they are doing that. They do a soft kind of serve of it with pronouns and things like that in the elementary education, but then they do a hard push when it comes to middle and high school, And you're seeing in Germantown, we have state law, Tennessee state law that is banning some of that. But not all states have these laws.
So Tennessee is actually helping us in Germantown fight the good fight up in Nashville. But when you go to other states, they have they are actually violating Title IX. And they are doing that right under the nose of the parents. And the parents are being handcuffed because they are taking their orders from the Department of Education.
So if you want to change and you can't change it through the state level, first, what Trump is helping us parents do is cutting the head off the snake. And I love the way you frame that because it is a snake. And this has been the engine driving, I think, this radical change in our culture. And it is it's unnatural. The changes in ideology and belief systems that it's been forced upon at least two generations now, I would say millennials and Gen Zers.
And that's how you change a culture, right? You start in the classroom and you start changing the classroom culture. And then those kids graduate and then they have kids and it starts this whole change where that is how we are turning from the inside out America into a communist country. What was it for you? Because you're a mom.
When did you realize, wow, we got a problem here in our local schools?
So we had a problem back in COVID when they were telling us parents how to raise our kids and what they thought was important for our kids. And so when we started fighting the masking, we started looking also into the curriculum because we started seeing a shift. We didn't know what there was in the curriculum because we sent our kids to school every day and our kids do not tell us what they're learning in school. But when we went to online schools and we were listening in to what the kids were learning because it was right there in our living rooms, that's when we found out exactly what they were teaching our kids and we weren't having any of it.
So we started going up to the school boards.
Now, the school board sit there and look at us like we don't speak English. And they let us talk for three minutes and then nothing happens because and they say, well, we can't do anything because we're controlled by the state.
So then you go to Nashville and you start lobbying in Nashville. The people in Nashville say, you know what, we can't do anything because we're controlled by the Department of Education.
Well, I didn't hire the Department of Education to control my children.
So that's when we started having a problem, when we started digging in. And we saw that the Department of Education and also the Department of Health work hand in hand. And the reason why they were having health clinics being built, COVID measures, and all of that is because before 1979, they used to be one department. That's true. Yes.
And that's something that a lot of people don't realize. They think, oh, well, the Department of Education was back, you know, in George Washington. No, no. That was created as a separate cabinet position by then Jimmy Carter Thanks Jimmy Carter So may you rest in peace sir Kristen you with us She is with Moms for Liberty here in the Memphis County area And, Kristen, when it comes to confronting school boards about this, I mean, you guys really have come under fierce attack simply for defending what are basic values that we pretty much all hold in this country. You know, they put us on terrorist watch lists.
We could burn down a Tesla corporation right now and nothing will happen to us. But we go and speak for our children in a school board meeting and we are put on a terrorist watch list. That is how crazy all of this had gotten from the beginning. This is remarkable. But again, dismantling that level of bureaucracy, that massive level of bureaucracy, and returning it back to the state at least gives you guys a fighting chance.
Right.
And so there's a lot of fear mongering that goes along with the dismantling. and say, oh, we don't have protection for our kids. But those protections like IDEA, Individuals for Disability of Education Act, that is actually going to stay in place and is protected not only by federal law, but also by the state.
So none of that fear-mongering is going to happen. And what we're going to find out by dismantling from the top down, we're going to find out exactly what is going to be needed and what is superfluous.
So here's what gets me. The largest school district in the state of Tennessee, for example, is in Memphis. They get more money than any other school district. I mean, just at least a billion dollars. And yet they have the lowest test scores.
Kids cannot read. They have mass chaos over there. And I suspect if we were to do a doge, we would be seeing things like money laundering and corruption. What say you? I think absolutely.
We've already seen some of that, some of the contracts that the school board had their hands in. They were giving contracts, building contracts to their cousins and things like that.
So we're seeing that. we do need to do a deep dive we do need to do a forensic audit and so when the state takes over the schools i think a lot of that's going to happen we're going to weed some of this out and it's going to be ugly in spite of all of this this indoctrination that's getting shoved down the throats of the kids we are starting to see in gen z that a return by this generation to a lot of traditional values going back to maybe to the 1950s as far as um you know gender roles you know you know staying at home raising kids for moms men going out there taking their place you know in the workforce are you are you noticing that trend i am i think a lot of the what they call cisgender i hate using that word because it means nothing to me but the white cisgender male that they vilified so much they they really overshot that because now those people are saying i'm not taking that anymore and we're the pendulum has swung so far in one direction it's starting to swing back, which is, you know, we saw that when the fraternities were protecting the U.S. flag. Yeah, so, you know, that's what's happening, and it's a relief, actually. Has that been, because I know you're a mom of boys, right?
So you've got sons. Was that an encouragement for you to see that, you know, they've got strong alpha male role models like a J.D. Vance, you know, or a President Trump? And that's what we needed. We need that, and you see that in the corporations as well.
So a lot of the corporations, the ads that we saw on TV, Gillette did the gender, the masculinity was toxic. All of that is starting to swing the other way, too. They are taking the Trump MAGA people are taking it over. I think about one of our sponsors, Patriot Mobile. they actually got it.
The owners of Patriot Mobile got involved in the conservative movement because of what was happening in their local school there in the Dallas area. And they mobilized, and now they're supporting conservative school board candidates across the nation. I'm just wondering, what encouragement would you have for our listeners around the nation? Maybe they don't have a Moms for Liberty chapter, but what would you tell these parents who are concerned about what's happening at their public schools? You know, they have to be involved, and I know the parents are very busy, but I also want to encourage grandparents to be involved.
And the reason why I want to really hone in on the grandparents is because they have more time than the parents, but also they were educated before 1979. They know what school was like, and they know that what it takes to educate a child is not what's being done right now.
So let's get back to the basics. Let's get back to getting agendas out of our classroom and getting these kids to really love our country again because that's what our grandparents were taught. I remember back when I was growing up, and I'm old school. You know, I grew up in the 70s. You know, we only had one flag flying outside of our schools, the American flag.
I can honestly tell you, all the way through high school, I have no idea what the political affiliations of any of my teachers were. Absolutely not. It didn't even cross our minds. Nope. It wasn't even a thing.
And girls went to, you know, home ec and boys went to shop class. I'm sorry. That's just the way it was.
Well, you know, they budget cut all those classes. They did. But they budget cut it even though they have more money now than ever. That doesn't make any sense to me. Nope.
That money's going somewhere. It's going somewhere. All right. Well, it ought to be an exciting afternoon at the White House. President Trump is going to sign an executive order today to begin the dismantling process.
And again, Kristen, I'll give you the last word here. The folks understand the president cannot completely abolish. That will take an act of Congress. Congress will have to do that. But you can gut it.
I mean, you can take it down to the brass tacks. That's what he's going to do. He's going to take it down to the studs. And the people like us need to pressure our congressmen to do the right thing. That's it.
So call your elected leaders. Yeah, they may be Republican, but you still got to call them, and they've got to hear from you, and we've got to put the pressure. By the way, one quick thing here. I know Congressman Steve Cohen, who's the Democrat here, chicken fried. Chicken man.
Yeah, chicken man. He had a big town hall. Hundreds of people showed up. You know what I found interesting? The Republicans didn't jump up and shout him down and yell at him and cuss at him.
You didn't see all that chaos that you're seeing happening at these Republican town halls. No, you don't see that. We don't see that in anything that we are against. We do it in a way that is, I don't know, I want to say friendly, but we are very just. We're Southern.
We're refined. We're refined. We're refined. I say, sir, I don't agree with you, sir. And we take you down from the inside out.
Oh, I like that. All right, Kristen, we've got to get you back on soon. Thanks, Kristen. All right, Kristen, everybody. Moms for Liberty here in the Memphis Shelby County area.
Always fun when we have Memphis folks on the show. All right, hang tight. We're going to go to your phone calls immediately after this break. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926.
This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, let's go to the phone lines here, 901-260-5926. And by the way, if you gave a donation today, and this is today only, if you gave a donation to our friends at Food for the Poor, I want you to give us a quick call. We want to get some info from you. Give us a call, 901-260-5926.
We want to send you a little special something. Again, today, if you gave to Food for the Poor through our digital platform, give us a call, 901-260-5926. All right, let's go to the phone line. Sarah in Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Hi, Sarah, what's on your mind?
I want to say to you, geez-a-loo, Todd Starnes, I'm so excited to speak to you on 920 AM.
Well, thank you, Sarah. Wow, I haven't had anybody throw back a Jisalu. That's pretty awesome.
Well, great. I'm glad I was the first. Maybe I started something. I love it.
Now, Sarah, I just have to ask you, and I think you're going to be an honest broker here. Everybody happy with the show in Houston? Everybody enjoying the new show? Everybody that I hear calling into you, as far as I know, I'm outside of Houston. But I'm so excited to have Patriot Talk 920, first off, a good talk radio show program.
I'm sorry. But to have your show on the program is fantastic.
Well, you are so kind. We love Matt and Michael, your morning show host, the Lone Star Conservative. What a great radio station. They're a lot of fun. And we just love, love, love all of the listeners down there in the Lone Star State.
Well, thank you. We're here. Sarah. We're here behind you.
Well, fantastic.
Well, Sarah, thank you for calling in. And Ms. Cassie is going to get your info. And I want to send you a brand new book as a way of saying thank you and welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. And I'm looking forward to talking to you down the road.
That's exciting, Dieter. Getting a lot of folks from Texas. I love that. Again, we've got to take it. You're going to the Lone Star State.
I've always said this about they have the best flag. and it's just a big star. And I know Tennessee, we have stars on our flags and there's a joke that we actually volunteered one of our stars on our flag to give to the Lone Star State because if you look at the history between Tennessee and Texas, we have a long history of helping our friends out in Texas.
So I just view this as extending the olive branch. We're volunteers. We're volunteers. Somebody needs a helping hand, we're there. That's right.
When they had the big crisis on the southern border, Who sent their troops? It was us. You know what I'm dreading, though? What? We are going to have a war on this radio program.
Why? When we talk about barbecue. When we talk about barbecue, because we have the big Memphis MA barbecue competition. And you know Texas has their own definition of barbecue. But then there's the right way to do it, which is in Memphis.
So we had this issue in Kansas City as well.
So they claim to be the title holders of the best barbecue in the nation? Yes. Oh, man. That's tough. We're not going to.
No, no. I think it's two distinct categories, but we're going to have to wade through that minefield coming up. Yeah. It's going to happen. I'm not ready for that fight.
But I do love, we actually have in Memphis, some guys from the hill country open up a brisket joint. Is that right? It's really good. I'm going to tell you. It's not pig, but it's good.
All right. Hey, we got to take a break. We'll be right back. Chuck writing in on our Facebook live feed. Hey, Todd, you know how duck hunters put the decoys out to attract the ducks they're about to shoot?
Let's get a Tesla, put it in a field, and wait. Chuck, oh, geez, Chuck's very clever. Kathy says, Todd, Texas loves you, and we love Texas, Kathy. By the way, Dieter, I told you this was going to happen. I've already gotten a text message from the owner of Patriot Talk 920 in Houston.
and he said regarding the barbecue he sent me a graphic that says come and take it he goes we might need to do a barbecue showdown between the two stations memphis versus texas i'm happy as long as we get to eat it i'm not a cook i can't cook barbecue but as long as they just bring it to the station i'm ready for that war slather some dry rub on the pork butt texas versus tennessee kind of sounds dirty but it's not it's just goody is what they say all right welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Happy to have you with us. We are following a couple of big breaking news stories. President Trump, the Department of Education, that executive order coming just momentarily. I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend Congressman Pete Sessions from Texas, also co-chair of the Doge Caucus.
Congressman, hope you're doing well today.
Well, it's a beautiful day in Round Rock, Texas. Oh, well, you're in God's country, Congressman. I'm darn close. close wow so congressman a lot happening up uh in washington dc today and of course the the president making good on a campaign promise how is that going over in the state of texas well i think it's going to go over well i spoke yesterday to a rotary club in nacogdoches texas and described to them not knowing what that president was even do what he's doing today, but I've said, essentially, the Department of Education is about $340 billion, 10,500 employees, that I believe the president sees and the American people see where the right thing to do is to take this to less than 200 employees, make them experts at the education needs of our country, retina issues, autism, Down syndrome, whatever they might be, have experts in Washington who offer the best advice to Congress about these matters, about how we should look at and take back home the ideas of making education work better. But what happened is, is that we got into this because the Biden administration decided they were going to work against students.
They're not there for their education scores to increase, to work against families because they encourage school districts to take the responsibility with a child's sexual upbringing to be taught by the school as opposed to parents, and lastly against the taxpayer because every year our scores go down and so we would then take that money that is left over and send it back to the states as is we are not going to defund education we're going to do away with the department of education exactly because they've worked against the best interest of the american family i'm with you and right now we've got a we've got a pool going here, which federal judge is going to be the first to issue an injunction? This is just getting out of hand. And I know that you guys are working on hearings, but these judges, can they be held accountable, Congressman, for stopping the president's agenda?
Well, in fact, we have always taught that, well, it can go to the court of appeals. But the bottom line is, is that whether we're talking about this or the employees that the president offered a very benevolent opportunity to leave the government, if you would choose not to come back to work, the unions are fighting this tooth and nail. And we do understand why, because those 10,500 employees or about pay into a pack every year that supports the unions. We're now talking about the union, their most ardent supporters, their people that pay to keep the Democratic Party going. They are losing.
So yes, now to your point, the judges, the judges will be held accountable, and we're going to do that. But we're going to keep rolling. I'm not backing away from what I believe is the right thing to do, and that is not just government efficiency, but we have a big government that controls too much of our lives and is not meeting the needs of this country. I want to play something, Congressman, and get your reaction. This is one of the members of the congressional delegation from Texas, Jasmine Crockett, and she was on a video last night talking about Elon Musk and Tesla.
Dylan, play cut number three, please.
So I'll make sure that I keep it short, but I am truly here for very selfish reasons, starting with on March 29th. It's my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down. Yes. Congressman, your reaction to that?
Well, my birthday is Saturday, and I'm for Elon to understand that his proficiency and value add to the American people is enormous. He is the largest entrepreneur in the world. And, oh, by the way, they even brought back these astronauts when the federal government could not figure out how to bring them back. the private sector plays a valuable role, not just in our society, but making this country work. And he is welcome in my book.
But people like Jasmine Crockett, and she's really sort of taken on the mantle of being the opposition voice and this language and this rhetoric. Are you concerned that fellow members of Congress may be inciting people to violence? you know some people can easily go there and i think that we do have a decorum ability when we're doing our job in washington dc but let me say this to you my brother when i was chairman of the national republican congressional committee we ran against nancy pelosi we said do you want to be like nancy nancy pelosi with a person who would represent you or a person like a Republican. This is how we win. The Democratic Party refuses to move an inch from where they are.
And that's simply good news to me.
So, you know, is she inciting violence? Perhaps she is. And I think one could say that. But the bottom line is this will help the American people understand the clarity of what the Democratic Party stands for and where the Republican Party is.
Well, Congressman, we appreciate your great work in Congress on the Doge Committee of the Doge Caucus. It's exciting. And I see that we are going to have a leaner, meaner federal government. And I think it's going to be much more efficient. I think the American people at the end of the day are going to have more dollars in their pockets.
What say you? Well, that is true. But what we really need is for people who need the services of the United States government, whether it's the IRS, whether it's the Social Security, we need a government that works. And Joe Biden and the Democrats kept people at home instead of doing their job. That is the number one.
I get asked about, you know, Elon Musk all the time and them losing employees. We need the government to work properly. And that's why we want them to go to work to determine what that correct level is and we are going to have the american people understand elon musk donald trump pete sessions we're for making a government work properly all right well congressman we're going to leave it there we appreciate you and thank you for coming on the show today only wanted to do well enough get invited back you did great you did great congressman all right congressman pete sessions from the great state of texas coming to us from round rock so look uh steve bannon dropped a little bombshell uh he says that there's a very good possibility that donald trump could run for another term in office uh cut number 14 please I'm a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028.
So I've already endorsed President Trump. A man like this comes along once every century if we're lucky. We've got him now. He's on fire. And I'm a huge supporter.
I want to see him again in 2028. Yeah, that's a fascinating thought there. Do you believe that President Trump should consider a third term in office? There is going to be a lot of debate over the constitutionality of this, but we'll see all this play out. Let's see how the next couple of years go.
I'm pretty excited about what Trump is doing. And if Congress can get their act together, they should have no problem winning re-election in the midterms. And I'm going to say that, I'm going to tell you that because the American people are fed up. And especially the minority communities in America, they're done with the Democrat Party. Done.
Now it is up to the Republicans to embrace minorities and say, come take a look at what we're doing. Cut number 11. This is a radio caller from The Breakfast Club, one of the top black radio talk shows in America. Cut number 11, please. Man, I'd never vote for another Democrat again.
Why, what's up? How do Trump sign 100 executive orders and you get a million promises from a Democrat, but that will never come through with one promise they give you? You know, brother, you're not wrong. You know, you got one party that's about action and you got one party that's about inaction. And, you know, so I was literally having that conversation with a good friend of mine this week.
That is why people have sowered on Democrats. You know, regardless of what Republicans are doing, you see Republicans doing something. I can't see Democrats getting back in office no time soon unless something changes drastically. Yeah, and I don't think that the Jasmine Crockett's of the Democrat Party are moving the needle at all. Because, look, just ask yourself this question.
What exactly has Jasmine Crockett done to help her constituents? What has she done? Right now, Jasmine Crockett is going to be joining a lot of other activists to try and put Americans out of work. You want to, hey, fine, you want to tank Tesla stock? Guess what?
People are going to get laid off. That's what these Democrats are calling for. You're going to go and you're going to blow up a firebomb, a Tesla dealership? Guess what? That's going to shut down.
Those people are out of work. The Republicans are out there trying to get people back to work. I'm just telling you. this is sure michael singleton and he was on cnn and he was advocating for this this this same issue uh mr singleton um a minority voter within the republican party at number six 90 plus percent of republicans the vast majority of independents actually believe the president is doing the right thing in terms of getting people out of the country i ultimately believe the supreme court will rule in favor of the president the president has broad constitutional authority as it pertains to immigration i don't think he's going to necessarily lose this fight i wouldn't even waste my time attacking this judge because the president appears to be on the right mark as it pertains to immigration we don't know he has to support the american people so it's true he triggered a lot of people on that panel over at cnn it's true oh i've got to play this audio these some of these anti-trumpers i they really they really amaze me so you're going to hear some video you're going Here's some audio of a waitress. And she lost her job.
She posted this video talking about how she insulted all these Trump diners to their face. And then she puts it on her TikTok account, and it goes viral. And then the people that she was waiting on found out about it, and they called the company and complained about it. She called the restaurant and said, what? What?
What is this all about? And so she got fired. And now she's upset because she got fired. Cut number one. I work at a Mexican restaurant and last night I had a MAGA table come in, wearing the hat and everything.
And I just thought, why are you here? This is not for you. You don't get to enjoy these flavors in this cuisine that comes from a country whose people you're trying to kick out. This is not for you. Go home and eat some unseasoned chicken and green bean casserole like God intended.
Wait, what? I don't like green bean casserole. Oh, and they tipped $2 on 70 bucks. I'm surprised it's that much of a tip with that attitude. He's just going to say that the MAGA people got so angered by my video that they're literally trying to hunt me down.
Every MAGA person watching this, okay, please listen carefully to my words. I don't work there anymore. I see you guys commenting the location of my job, the address of my job on all of my videos. I see it. I don't work there anymore.
Commenting the name of my job. I don't work there anymore. They let me go because of my video and that's fine. It's a restaurant. I'll get another job.
But you guys are insane and sick in the head. You get so mad that someone tells you that a certain cuisine isn't for you. that you're going to try to dock someone and hunt them down at their job and make them and all their coworkers feel unsafe? Because I said that since you vote against Latinos, you shouldn't be able to enjoy Mexican food? I didn't even serve the MAGA table at my restaurant.
They weren't my table. I didn't speak to them once. Oh? You lied? I didn't speak to them once.
They didn't get bad service from me because I wasn't their server. Oh, so you made it all up. You guys can't watch a little video of me roasting MAGA on TikTok without getting your panties in a twist? Are you dead ass? I don't work there anymore.
Please leave my job alone and leave my coworkers and managers alone. All right, enough of this. There's so much to unravel here.
So first of all, wait, what? I'm a white guy and I love spicy chicken. I'm not too fond of green bean casserole. Where does she get off thinking that all the white people, the gringos, we just sit around eating bland chicken, what, boiled chicken and green bean casserole? What's wrong with you, darling?
By the way, and her whole point is that if you're going to be deporting people from south of the border, you don't deserve to eat their food.
Well, ma'am, I challenge you. I will challenge you to the I will fight you to the death over the endless bowl of Dorito chips and salsa. Isn't that like a staple down south of the border? I mean, that's what they they just apply us at the Mexican restaurants with more chips, chips and guac, chips and salsa. Unbelievable.
So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. this waitress very upset and she's blaming you Trump supporters for complaining when she gives you bad service which we now know was completely made up so the she shouldn't have just kept her mouth shut I'm just saying all right we got to take a break 901-260-5926 some important social security news by the way President Trump's Doe's chief Elon Musk says social security is a Ponzi scheme says there's so much fraud it's the big one to eliminate now rob finnerty is on newsmax tonight warning that your social security could be in danger rob says doge is slashing half the social security offices across the nation rob says that's wrong millions will find their benefits denied now you paid into social security all your life now rob finnerty exposes the lies about social security and why it must be protected watch rob's special series on the dangers to social security at eight o'clock eastern time you can find newsmax on all major cable systems or download the free newsmax app millions of americans are switching to newsmax because it's news they can trust it's real news for real people all right real quick let's get to the phones here jane in north carolina hi jane what's going on today hey hey todd um i just wanted to touch base real quick we love what love listening to you ron and i and um we heard you last week and deter and i don't even remember why but deter had you watch the white lotus yes i wanted to make sure that you would you said that you had read up watched them all but i wanted to make sure that you watch season one and season two as well oh gee honestly okay because season one to me was like so crazy and season two was really good to you so anyway i just wanted to make sure well this is good i it's uh it's a little weird i'm gonna it's not like the waltons or the andy griffith show jane uh but but yeah a little off the wall okay i'll do that so i'm gonna binge watch i was gonna go back so you say i need to watch season one and season two oh my god yeah you'll season one it'll blow your mind and same with season two so anyway but no no young kids in the room no no definitely and quite frankly i'm not sure some of us old folks either jade thank you for the recommendation and thank you for calling it and thanks for listening guys man we just had the best audience on all of talk radio thank you so much for hanging out with us we're going to do it all over again tomorrow and by the way tonight five o'clock eastern the todd stern show watch us on newsmax too be good america
