• 0:11
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I love this American ride.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Todd Starks.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: Hello, everybody.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: Welcome. Ladies and gentlemen, testing, testing. Is America's microphone working?
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Welcome.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: So glad you're here today. We have got a lot
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: going on. We're waiting on a lot of big breaking
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: news stories, and we're going to get to those as well. Also,
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Luke Ball, our good buddy, political strategist, is going to
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: be joining us. And the lovely Kyle Campbell, host of
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: the Politically Basic podcast, joins us. Ladies and gentlemen, those
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: of you that watch the program on our various video streams,
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: you know that we have– well, you know what? I'm
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: going to take back what I'm about to– no, I've
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: got to say it now that I've already said it, Dylan.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: So I've got to– but I need to caveat this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: If you're watching us, you know we have the most
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: attractive conservative women commentators in America on The Todd Stern
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Show because that's how we roll. We got no WNBA
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: chicks here. Not here on this program. We don't have
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: any of those male NFL cheerleaders. Not on this program.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Jazz hands. No, we don't do that. Not on the
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Todd Stearns radio show. But let me just say this.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: This is the caveat. But if you listen to us
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: on the radio, you can pretty much figure out that
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: when you hear the voices of our female pundits, And
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: the guys, you know, they're not unattractive, right? But the
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: ladies of the Todd Stearns listening show, we have the
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: most beautiful women that listen to this program. And that
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: is scientifically proven. Are you doubting me, Dylan?
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, there's no doubt about it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm telling you. We have commissioned the studies. We've
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: got the Clay and Buck people and the Dana Lesh
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: and who's the guy out of Atlanta, the Trump hater.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: We've gone through all those folks. Oh, the CNN dude.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: So many of them.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Who's apparently talking to dead people in hospitals.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: But we analyzed our audience against all of those, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: the scientists came back and were like, good God, man.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: you have a beautiful audience. And I said, you doubted me?
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: What's wrong with you? So anyway, what, oh, so Kyle
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Campbell's going to be here. That was the whole point
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: of that. So anyway, we're a little goofy today. I'm
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: not sure why, but we're goofy today, and that's okay.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: We need a little goof in our lives. We're going
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: to start out, as we wait for this verdict coming
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: out of Massachusetts, And you can pretty much figure out
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: how that is going to go down. But before we
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: get to that, I want to talk about this poor
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: farm out in Indiana. You know, coming up next week,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: and we're going to have a special show commemorating the
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Many of
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: you will remember, and our team has been compiling a
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: lot of the audio from that day. It actually happened
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: live on this radio program. I was right in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: middle of an interview with Senator James Langford from Oklahoma,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: and the bulletin came down, and we ended up pretty
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: much blowing up the entire show. And so we're going
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: to go back and we're going to revisit that moment.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: We're going to have some great guests on, young Gen Zers,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Turning Point USA folks. And I think you're really going
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: to be excited about our event that we have coming
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: up on September 10th and then September 11th, the 25th
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: anniversary of the Muslim terrorist attacks on America when Muslims
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: waged jihad on American soil in the name of Mohammed.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: But I want to go back to Charlie Kirk for
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: a moment because there's a farm, the Goebbels Farm, the
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Goebbels Farm there in Indiana. I believe that's near Evansville. And,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: you know, a lot of these farms for the fall
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: and they do the corn maze, you know, where you go.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: And Dylan, I'm not a big fan of the corn
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: maze because I'm afraid I'm always going to get lost
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: and no one will come looking for me.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: That's a real concern, actually.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: So I don't go. And you never know what's going
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: to come out of the corn. You know, I've seen
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: the horror movies.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Why is every time I'm in a corn maze, it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: always the haunted version?
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: You know it is.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: I don't go in them any other reason.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: And then remember when, man, I'm getting off track here
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: for a minute, but do you, back in the 1990s,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: and I don't know if you're old enough to remember this,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: but back in the 1990s, that's when the church youth
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: groups were like at the zenith and they would do
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: what they called hell houses and So, you know, a
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: lot of the churches won't do Halloween, but they will
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: do something called Fall Festival, which is basically kids dressing
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: up in costumes and going door-to-door to get candy and
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: riding on the backs of hay. You know, they have, like,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: hay rides, and they carve out the pumpkins, the jack-o'-lanterns, and, well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: it's basically Halloween. It's... Oh, no, no, but you know
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: what makes it? No, at the Fall Festival, they'll throw
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: in a gospel track with the Snickers bar and the
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Tootsie Roll.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: That's it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: That's the only difference.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: But back in the 90s, everybody was trying to up
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: their game, and they had this thing called Hell House,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: where you basically turn your church. So the way it works,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: it's a skit, and then they take you on a
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: journey through hell. So you have these teenagers, and they're
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: driving in their car, and and then the car crashes
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: into a telephone pole, and all the kids die, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: they don't have Jesus in their hearts, so they go
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: to hell. And so you, as a spectator, you're not believing.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Churches did this back in the day.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: My church didn't, but this is— keep going.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: So you're on a journey. So your friend, let's just say,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: we'll take Ian the intern— And Ian.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: Ian died in the car crash.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Ian died in the car crash.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: So we're following him now?
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: And he didn't know Jesus.
• 6:51
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: So we went to hell.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: And so we're going to go on the journey with
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: him to hell so we can experience what the lake
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: of fire looks like and what it feels like. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: the church would turn up the heat and, you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: you would feel hot.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: There's no way this actually happened.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: No, it really didn't.
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: I know somebody in our audience went through something like this.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Either that or I had a really bad reaction to
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: some Little Debbies back in the day. And I just
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: hallucinated the 1990s. But I'm just saying, it was insane.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: So at the very end of it, I mean, it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: really intense. And so as you're walking through the Lake
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: of Fire, it's like these little demon zombies come out
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: and like, rawr, you know. You are here for eternity. Burn, baby, burn.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: You know, it's like, oh, my gosh. So they literally
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: try to scare the hell out of you at Hell House.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: And so at the very end, you go and you
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: hear a little message, and then, like, Jesus shows up.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: And so you have a choice. You can either go
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: with Lucifer or you can go with Jesus. And the
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: kids were like, I want Jesus. I want Jesus. Can
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: you turn on the AC, Jesus?
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Because it's hot in there. And so that's what they did.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: So anyway, that was Hell House. And they did a
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: version for Christmas, too.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: What was that called?
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: I'll have to tell that story at Christmastime. It's not
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: good when you start your Christmas production off, honest to goodness.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: With a car. They actually crashed the car on stage
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: at the church and knocked over a light pole.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: What is it with these tragic incidents happening at the beginning?
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: And the people burned to death in the car. Right
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: there on stage.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: This is terrible.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. So anyway, all that to say,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: these groups are always doing something clever to get people out.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: And so the Goebbels family farm, which has nothing to
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: do with Hell House, decided they wanted to design their
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: corn maze in honor of Charlie Kirk. And I don't
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: know how they do it, but they did a really
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: nice job. If you go to my website, toddstearns.com, we
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: actually have a picture of the corn maze. And Dylan,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: it really is a striking image. I mean, it looks
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: like Charlie Kirk made of corn.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it looks good.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: It really does look good. But I would get lost
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: in there is the whole gist of it. So anyway,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: and the family, it's a family-owned farm, and they're like,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: you know, we're doing this because we love Charlie, and
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: we also love free speech, and we feel like, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: the family was just kind of sharing from their heart here,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: and all the liberals have declared war on this family farm.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: and they're trying to cancel the Goebbels family farm. And again,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: go to ToddStearns.com. You can see it for yourself and
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: see what we're talking about here. And the families, so
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: the families having to post a statement, they're having to
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: limit what people write on their Facebook page. I mean,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: they were getting all sorts of awful hate and threats
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: from I want to read to you what they wrote.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: In part, they said, our intention was not to suggest
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: that everyone should share Charlie's beliefs or agree with every
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: statement he made. We recognize that he was a polarizing
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: public figure and that many people strongly disagreed with his views.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Charlie was killed while publicly expressing and debating his convictions.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: In a country founded by on the principles of free speech,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: no person should lose his or her life for participating
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: in political discussion. Well, what's wrong with that? People are
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: free to challenge ideas, criticize them, and reject them, but
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: violence must never become the response to speech. Now, they're
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: absolutely right here, and the idea that they had to
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: actually come out and put out a lengthy statement, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: you can read it all at ToddStearns.com, it is just
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: simply absurd. ladies and gentlemen, absurd. But let me say this.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: If you watch PMS Now, if you watch the Communist
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: News Network, if you read the New York Slimes or
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: the Washington Compost, you're going to believe that it's the Republicans,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: it's the conservatives who are the violent people here, when
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: in fact it is the exact opposite. As a matter
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: of fact, I want to play some audio here, because
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: while the left is out there saying that Trump's rhetoric
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: is killing people, well, we now know that's certainly not
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: to be true. But here's what the left is actually
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: saying about all of you people who are gun-toting, Bible-clinging,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: flag-waving deplorables. Cut 50%.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Next king or next wannabe little hitler.
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: Or whatever maga is the closest thing to the modern
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: version of the nazi party this is america's version it's
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: the closest thing without the holocaust and all that stuff i'm.
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: Not sure about motive either i can tell you that
• 12:25
  Speaker 14: after the assassination of 10 people on both sides i
• 12:28
  Speaker 14: said that both parties need to tone down the rhetoric
• 12:30
  Speaker 14: President Biden called into the Harris campaign event and said
• 12:33
  Speaker 14: that President Trump was a threat to democracy. Just take
• 12:36
  Speaker 14: a look behind me at these photos.
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: This is a.
• 12:38
  Speaker 14: Magazine cover of the New Republic from June 2024, published
• 12:42
  Speaker 14: just one month before the assassination attempt.
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: The New Republic said this.
• 12:45
  Speaker 14: We at the New Republic think we can spend this
• 12:48
  Speaker 14: election year in one of two ways. We could spend
• 12:50
  Speaker 14: it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points
• 12:53
  Speaker 14: that define fascism, or we could spend it saying, He's
• 12:56
  Speaker 14: damn close enough and we better fight.
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: We unreservedly choose the latter course.
• 13:01
  Speaker 14: Do you think that language like this could radicalize someone
• 13:03
  Speaker 14: to engage in political violence? There was an assassination attempt
• 13:07
  Speaker 14: on an American president and I will be asking these
• 13:09
  Speaker 14: same questions even if it were President Biden. And my
• 13:11
  Speaker 14: message to the American people is that we need to
• 13:14
  Speaker 14: do better.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Again, just some
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: of the anti- Trump vitriol coming from these leftists, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: by the way, one of them, Don Lemon, for crying
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: out loud. So these are not just randos that we're
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: talking about. All right, got to take a break here. 901-260-5926.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I say good on the Goebbels family because they're great
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: American patriots. And I mean, I'm not sure what the
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: left wanted to do. I mean, what, burn down the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: corn maze? Is that what they were wanting to do? Well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: they're standing their ground. And I respect that, and I
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: greatly appreciate that. 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. By
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: the way, ladies and gentlemen, The Golden Age, How Trump
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Saved America, doing incredibly well. It is now a national bestseller,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: and I want to urge you to get a copy,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: get a personal copy of The Golden Age, How Trump
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Saved America by yours truly. President Trump, among those saying that,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: and I want to, where's the president's quote here? The
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: president said something very nice about it. I don't have
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: his quote in front of me. but you got to
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: take my word on it. Senator Marsha Blackburn masterfully captures
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: the defining moments that have led us to a new
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: golden age of America under President Trump's leadership, a call
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: to renew our commitment to the values of faith, resilience,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: and justice that make America the greatest nation in the world.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Senator Marsha Blackburn. We'll be right back.
• 14:51

  Speaker 15: upon a hill. Don't miss the America 250 Film Marathon
• 15:17
  Speaker 15: all weekend on Salem News Channel.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: All right, welcome back to the Tom Stearns Radio Show.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Some news out of Washington. And this is a very
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: interesting story. This just broke. Congressman Brandon Gill, doing a
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: great job. By the way, the son-in-law of Dinesh D'Souza.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Congressman Brandon Gill has introduced legislation that would ban Americans
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: from using SNAP benefits... to purchase fast food. According to
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: the congressman, and he introduced the bill today, SNAP is
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: supposed to help struggling Americans put nutritious food on the table,
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: not stick taxpayers with the bill for fast food. More
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: than a half a billion dollars in stamp benefits have
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: gone to restaurants through this loophole in just two years
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: while the Trump administration is working to get junk food
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: out of the program. Dylan, I'm curious. On average, how
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: many times would you say, you're a young married guy,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: how many times do you guys eat out dinner at
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: like a restaurant?
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: Too many times to admit at this point, but we're
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: cutting back.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, but you pay for them with your own hard-earned money. Oh, yes,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: for sure. You know what's troubling here is there are
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: a lot of hard-working Americans, and they're going to work.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Some of them maybe have two jobs. They're putting food
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: on the table for their families. They're working their butts off,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: and they can't afford to go out to McDonald's. I mean,
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: they can't do a Burger King or a McDonald's or
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: a Sonic. Heaven forbid Chipotle. Oh, gosh.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: Don't even bring that up.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: You can't even go to Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A is so expensive.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Now that they have the chicken and waffles, too, you
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: can forget about it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, my word.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: Like $ 17.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Good Lord, man.
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: For a meal.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: That's insane. The New York Post. This is what's really
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: crazy here. The New York Post reports that about $ 524
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: million of your money, ladies and gentlemen, so you people
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: are paying for this. You're paying for people on food
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: stamps to go to McDonald's. They're getting two all-beef patties,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: bun while you're sitting at home eating a bologna sandwich
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: on white bunny bread.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: Do they still do the supersize at McDonald's?
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: They do. Well, I don't know. I think they have
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: a large.
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Which is like the super size now.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Could be.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: I'm sure that's what they're getting.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: I don't want to get off on a tangent here,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: but have you seen the video where the small fry
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: is actually, it's the same number of fries?
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Is that true?
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: No, it is not.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Is it really?
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: It's true for actually drinks. I think that was the thing.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: It was the large drink has the same amount because
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: it's the ice.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I've seen them do it with the fries though.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't.
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: I don't like to think about that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: I don't like that. I don't like that. But anyway,
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, what about you? Do you like the
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: fact that your tax money is going to make sure
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: that poor people can eat a Burger King?
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: 901-260-5926.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: We're going to the phones. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: The Todd Stern Show.
• 19:08
  Speaker 15: I am just stunned by this.
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: More than $ 524 million in stamp benefits, which come from
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: your taxes, by the way, used at fast food restaurants
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: in just nine states over a two-year period.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Just in California alone, $ 475 million. It's like, geez-a-loo. And
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I get it. Look, if you're a poor person, I
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: feel bad for you. But you need to spend your
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: own money to buy a Gordita and not mine. That's
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: all I'm saying about that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: 901-260-5950.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Gary in Daytona Beach, Florida, listening to
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: us on WOCA. Hi, Gary. What's on your mind today?
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Well, good afternoon. I'm not surprised a bit, and I
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: was more surprised probably in the last year or When
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: they've started to crack down on privately owned convenience stores
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: in our tri-county area in eastern Florida here, where they
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: will do a sting operation, the recipients of the SNAP
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: benefits walk into the convenience store, and let's say they
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: have $ 400 in benefits, and the store owner gives them
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: $ 200 in cash and a piece of paper that says,
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: you know, $ 400. They don't buy one item. They walk
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: out with $ 200 cash, and the store owner didn't sell
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: an item and made $ 200 just on that transaction that
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: gets funded to his account each month. The one store
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: that they busted here, they believe made between $ 30, 000 and
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: $ 40, 000 a month by not selling anything.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: That is so offensive to me, Gary, and it ought
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: to be offensive to all of us as hardworking taxpayers
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: here that our money is being squandered and, quite frankly, stolen. Look,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: if you're getting food stamps, and many people who are
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: getting food stamps are already living in Section 8 housing,
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: so we're footing the bill for that. They're getting health care.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: We're footing the bill for that. We're footing the bill
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: for a lot of stuff. And it bothers me that
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: there are some very honest, hardworking people out there And
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: they're eating red beans and rice at home and cornbread
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: because they can't afford to go out to Burger King
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: for a Whopper meal.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: You're right. Congrats on the book. I appreciate your time.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Gary, thank you. Appreciate it. And folks, get yourself a
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: copy of The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. Unbelievable.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: But ladies and gentlemen, again, this is where we are,
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: and this is what the Biden administration has been doing
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: in some ways. And you've seen the TikTok videos where
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: these people are out there, and they're flaunting it in
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: our faces. They know exactly what they're doing. These people
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: are stealing from you and me. That's what they're doing.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: And it's outrageous. Anyway, good for you, Congressman Brandon Gill,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: introducing legislation that will ban SNAP users from from using
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: that money to buy meals at fast food restaurants. Makes
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of sense to me. 901-260-5926, our telephone number,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: that's 901-260-5926. Speaking of restaurants, this guy says he's a woman.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I think he's a woman. Anyway, he's all upset because, well,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: I want you to hear him for yourself. Cut 45.
• 22:55
  Speaker 16: I feel like so uncomfortable sitting in here. Excuse me?
• 22:59
  Speaker 16: I actually don't want to pay. I feel like uncomfortable. Yeah,
• 23:05
  Speaker 16: I don't feel very comfortable. No, I feel really uncomfortable.
• 23:10
  Speaker 16: I feel like I'm being laughed at by two people there,
• 23:13
  Speaker 16: people over there. I feel really uncomfortable.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I feel like really uncomfortable.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm being stared at behind the counter by
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: these two people who are sitting there laughing their asses off.
• 23:41
  Speaker 16: I feel really uncomfortable. him he's literally laughing literally sitting
• 23:49
  Speaker 16: there makes me feel so uncomfortable i feel really uncomfortable
• 23:53
  Speaker 16: yeah you should see i feel i've never done this
• 23:56
  Speaker 16: in my life i feel very uncomfortable oh you remember
• 24:00
  Speaker 16: me yeah i've been here i'm sorry i'm so uncomfortable
• 24:03
  Speaker 16: do you want to call police or no because i'm
• 24:06
  Speaker 16: not paying for the food okay great yeah I feel
• 24:12
  Speaker 16: very uncomfortable.
• 24:13
  Speaker 17: Not by you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 16: You did nothing.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: You're great.
• 24:17
  Speaker 16: The people behind the counter are very rude. I feel
• 24:19
  Speaker 16: very uncomfortable. You should teach your staff not to laugh
• 24:22
  Speaker 16: at people and stare at them while they're sitting at
• 24:24
  Speaker 16: a table.
• 24:26
  Speaker 18: Thanks.
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 24:30
  Speaker 17: I feel so uncomfortable.
• 24:33
  Speaker 16: I'm going to do this in the least obvious way
• 24:36
  Speaker 16: because there's people everywhere.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Dylan, I think he feels uncomfortable.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Sounds like it.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: I'm just taking a guess here. I think he's uncomfortable.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: So wait a second. He was not uncomfortable enough to
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: eat the food.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, he ate every single bit of the food.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he ate the food. But when it came time
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: to pay the bill, that's when it became a problem.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: It seems like he's one of these people that sets
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: up the phone and does like a full food review.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: That's why they're laughing at you. They're not laughing because
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: of what you look like.
• 25:07
  Speaker 17: I feel sorry, sir.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: I feel so bad for her.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: You no pay? Now, because I feel uncomfortable. You no pay? Oh,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: I remember you. Silly man in dress.
• 25:21
  Speaker 18: Oh, yes.
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: I would call the police. It's theft.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: A thousand percent. But, you know, it is interesting. And again,
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: it's no, I can't. Well, I told you about the incident.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I'm not I can't name the restaurant again, but. You know,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: I went in, and I was trying to be, you know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: adventurous in my dining experience. And there at the front
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: counter was, I don't know, a 6'4 dude, big dude
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: in a dress. And the dress, and what was sort
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: of off-putting is they set me, my seat, they sat
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: me right behind the hostess stand. Which was open and exposed,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: and so I was staring at this dude's hairy legs
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: that were protruding from the dress.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: You were downwind. Yeah, but you still ate your food,
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: and you still paid for it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, I paid for it, yeah. I left a tip.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: The tip was Lady Big Place. Or Nair. I mean,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: if you're going to go that way, you've got to
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: go all in, right? That's all I'm trying to say.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: You know, if you're... Men, if you're going to be
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: a woman, you've got to shave. I mean, nobody wants
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: to see a woman with hairy legs.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: It's just human decency at that point. I don't know.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: Or making everyone else see it.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Aren't you supposed to, like, I know you have to
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: wear a hairnet, but do you have to wrap your legs, too?
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: I don't think they make those.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Anyway, well, there you have it. I do feel bad
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: for the lady, but that's it. Those transgender folks, they
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: get really offended very quickly. By the way, I want
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: to go back to these SNAP benefits for just a
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: moment here. This is a big deal, and there is
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: a lot of money, a lot of money. We're talking
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: that there may be as much as $ 10 billion in fraud.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: That's insane. So again, ladies and gentlemen, this is why
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: we needed Doge, and this is the point of Doge,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: was to expose all of this corruption and then go
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: after the people that are breaking the law. Well done.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Well done, Congressman Brandon Gill. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: So Governor Ron DeSantis, you know he's getting ready to
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: run for president, right? Does everybody understand that? Ron DeSantis
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: will be running for president. And I'm just telling you,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: I like DeSantis. I think he'd make a great president.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: He's done a terrific job running the state of Florida. Anyway,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: DeSantis just mic dropped. New York State cut 46.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: There are 4 million more residents than New York State does,
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: yet our budget's $ 117 billion. Their budget's $ 268 billion. We
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: have the lowest per capita tax in the country. We've
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: paid off, just since I've been governor, 52% of our
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: state's debt. And we have a smaller government today than
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: the day I took office. See, it can be done.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: And he did it. And it can be done. So
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: well done. Well done, Governor DeSantis. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: That's 901-260-5926. Going to take a break here. We'll be
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: right back. All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. This
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I want to say
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: something here about President Trump and the presidents out there
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: saying he's going to be working around the clock to
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: get the Republicans elected. I've got a pretty controversial column
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: up on the website, toddsterns.com, and I truly believe that
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: John Thune and establishment Republicans are trying to sabotage the
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: midterm elections. And by that, I mean they're trying to
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: throw the elections. I see, and I don't know if
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: you've seen this, but I see Donald Trump working harder
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: to get Republicans re-elected to Congress than Republicans in Congress.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: That's what I see. So I just, I can't say
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: enough great things about what President Trump is doing. He's
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: done a remarkable thing for this country. And he really is,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: as I wrote in The Golden Age, he is a
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: consequential president. Take a listen to Cut 13.
• 30:05
  Speaker 19: Has that, especially being shot, changed the way you look
• 30:10
  Speaker 19: at life, death, or life after death?
• 30:14
  Speaker 18: So it's an interesting question. I think that an honest
• 30:20
  Speaker 18: answer is I purposely don't think about it.
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: I don't want to think about.
• 30:22
  Speaker 18: It because if I did, I wouldn't be here. Probably
• 30:26
  Speaker 18: wouldn't have this job. It's a very dangerous job. You know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 18: I saw the race, Roger Penske had the big race
• 30:32
  Speaker 18: in Washington, which was such a success. 250,000 people came in.
• 30:36
  Speaker 18: Then it closed the bridge to so many people. And
• 30:38
  Speaker 18: it was great and beautiful.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: What a job.
• 30:41
  Speaker 18: And you see these race cars going in front of
• 30:43
  Speaker 18: you at 200, almost 200 miles an hour. And then
• 30:46
  Speaker 18: going around a turn at a ridiculous speed and on.
• 30:49
  Speaker 18: One-tenth of one percent die. One-tenth of one percent. I
• 30:54
  Speaker 18: think bull riding looks pretty dangerous to me. I wouldn't
• 30:56
  Speaker 18: want to do that. I think I'd rather be in
• 30:57
  Speaker 18: a race car. One-tenth of 1%, same number, just about
• 31:01
  Speaker 18: the same number, die. President, 5.2%.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Think of it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 18: So many times. It's a dangerous profession. But if you
• 31:12
  Speaker 18: think about it, you're not going to do a very
• 31:13
  Speaker 18: good job. And I really am. I'm surrounded by very
• 31:17
  Speaker 18: good people. Secret Service has been great. Law enforcement has
• 31:20
  Speaker 18: been great. The military has been. I'm surrounded by a
• 31:22
  Speaker 18: lot of people. The only thing I can say about it, though,
• 31:25
  Speaker 18: and if you look at it, it's true. It's, I guess,
• 31:28
  Speaker 18: a compliment, but a very strange form of compliment. Only
• 31:33
  Speaker 18: consequential presidents get shot or shot at. And I am
• 31:38
  Speaker 18: very consequential. We've changed this whole world. We've saved this country.
• 31:42
  Speaker 18: This country had our opponent, my opponent, gotten elected. Instead
• 31:49
  Speaker 18: of having 19.2 trillion coming into the country, you would have.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Had $ 10.
• 31:53
  Speaker 18: Trillion going out, your welfare would have doubled or tripled,
• 31:57
  Speaker 18: and you would have had a country that was a
• 31:59
  Speaker 18: failed country. We were very close. We were right on
• 32:02
  Speaker 18: the tipping edge, and now we have the hottest country
• 32:05
  Speaker 18: anywhere in the world. This is the hottest country in
• 32:06
  Speaker 18: the world right now, Trey. Every country respects us more
• 32:09
  Speaker 18: than any other country. Nobody's close.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: All right, that was President Trump doing a long-form interview
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: with Trey Gowdy over on Fox. And he's right. I mean,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: he really is a consequential president. Ronald Reagan was a
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: consequential president. And it's interesting because after Reagan survived, I mean,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: he was nearly killed. Reagan came very close to losing
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: his life. And after that, Reagan became a bit more introspective.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Reagan had a very different outlook on life and the
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: presidency after the assassination attempt. And I think to some extent,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: President Trump has as well. I think the president has
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: reflected in interviews about the hereafter and about where he
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: would spend eternity. And he talks about these things in
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: his Trump way. He's not going to be the guy
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: that breaks down in tears and announces on national television.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: He's not going to do that. That's not who he is.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: But in his own way, I think Trump has changed,
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: and you can see it. You can sense it. And
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: I write about this in The Golden Age, that because
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: of that, I truly believe that God played a role
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: in the Trump presidency, and that God uses the most
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: unusual people to accomplish what needs to be accomplished. And
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: we see this all through the Bible, all through the
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Old Testament especially. So, yeah, I do believe that Providence
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: played a role in what happened in that field in
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Butler County, Pennsylvania. But when you look down and Trump
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: talked about how he was a consequential president, I was
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: just going through the table of contents of the Golden Age.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Chapter 1, how Trump saved common sense. Chapter 3, how
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Trump saved our schools. Chapter 6, how Trump saved my hometown.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Chapter 13, how Trump saved the military. Chapter 14, how
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Trump saved Christmas. Chapter 15, how Trump saved our culture.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: And then chapter 20, how Americans can save Trump's agenda.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: And you want to know how we can do that,
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen. I'll tell you what I wrote about that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: We got to get out and vote. You know what?
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: Forget these Republicans in Congress. Just forget them. They're not consequential,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: but we need them. Trump needs them to get his
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: agenda across the finish line. So here's what I hope happens,
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: and if all of us, because after, go back to
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Butler County for a moment. Do you remember the mindset
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: and the, we were, all of us were ready to
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: take up arms and personally defend President Trump. Do you
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: remember that? Do you remember those days, how horrified we
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: all were? I think even grown men gasped. at what
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: almost happened. But all of us, you know, if the
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Secret Service wasn't going to protect our guy, we were
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: going to do it for him. Well, that's what we
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: have to do on Election Day. We've got to get
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: out there, and we've got to make sure that the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Republicans maintain control of the House and the Senate. And,
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, we want to just wish for the best here,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: is that they increase their numbers. Maybe that's what we
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: ought to do here. And I get it. Todd Bethune, no,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: I get that. But Donald Trump doesn't deserve to be
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: impeached again. Donald Trump doesn't deserve what the Democrats are
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: going to do to that man. And quite frankly, the
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: country doesn't deserve what the Democrats would do to us.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: They will stack the court. They will nuke the filibuster.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: And they will shove through one of the most radical
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: agendas known in this country. That's what the Democrats are
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: going to do. I can promise you that. So we've
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: got to do our part, and the way we can
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: do our part is to get out there and vote.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: So I do hope you read my book. Number one,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: it's a celebration of what Trump has done. Number two,
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: it's a challenge for all of us to get out
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: there and to finish the job. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.

• 38:01
  Speaker 16: I love this American ride.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: Todd Starnes.
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: And hello, everybody.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Welcome to the Todd Starnes Show, wherever you might be
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: watching or listening, border-to-border, coast-to-coast, across the Fruited Plain. We
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: have a jam-packed hour for you. A lot happening in
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: the world of politics. Of course, the Republicans getting ready
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: to make their way to Dallas, Texas for what is
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: really a very unusual thing, sort of an historic moment.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: where the Republicans are holding a midterm convention and rally.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance are going to
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: be among the speakers, and the president really wants to
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: make the midterm elections a referendum on his presidency. The
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: president believes that will be the secret sauce they need
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: to get Republican voters out to the polls. Well, I
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: want to bring in one of the smartest guys we
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: know when it comes to politics, our good buddy Luke Ball. Luke,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: good to have you with us today. What do you
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: think about this big convention they're planning next week?
• 39:13
  Speaker 20: First of all, Todd, if I'm one of the smartest
• 39:15
  Speaker 20: guys you know, you must not know very many people,
• 39:18
  Speaker 20: but I appreciate you having me on the show today.
• 39:21
  Speaker 20: I think it's something that the Democrats are going to
• 39:23
  Speaker 20: wind up replicating in the near future.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a success. Just think
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 39:28
  Speaker 20: You've got all of this money being pumped into the
• 39:30
  Speaker 20: elections and that costs people writing checks it costs their
• 39:34
  Speaker 20: direct money that wallet It's going to be drain dry
• 39:38
  Speaker 20: at some point because people have finite resources, but the
• 39:41
  Speaker 20: media value of having a rally, a moment in time
• 39:47
  Speaker 20: where everyone is forced to focus whether the left-wing media
• 39:50
  Speaker 20: wants to cover it or not. on the GOP, on
• 39:53
  Speaker 20: the president speaking, on the vice president touting priorities. That
• 39:57
  Speaker 20: is the entire magic they're trying to create here. They
• 40:00
  Speaker 20: did the same thing in 2024. And I remember being
• 40:02
  Speaker 20: in Milwaukee at the convention and all of the media
• 40:05
  Speaker 20: descended on there and you get a bump generally in.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: A convention of a few points.
• 40:09
  Speaker 20: And that could be enough to carry things over into
• 40:12
  Speaker 20: the midterm elections because I hear people saying that, you know,
• 40:15
  Speaker 20: Republicans are up against the wall, that it's all going
• 40:17
  Speaker 20: to come crashing down. I don't exactly know how election
• 40:20
  Speaker 20: night's going to turn out, Todd.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Nobody does.
• 40:23
  Speaker 20: It's like somebody trying to predict when the Lord's going
• 40:25
  Speaker 20: to return. You just simply don't know at this point.
• 40:28
  Speaker 20: But I will say that the Democrats have had two
• 40:31
  Speaker 20: years since their last election loss to get their act together.
• 40:35
  Speaker 20: Not only do they not have their act together, they
• 40:37
  Speaker 20: don't have any figurehead within the party. They don't have
• 40:40
  Speaker 20: a party that's above being $ 3 million in debt, at least.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: They don't have an alternative platform.
• 40:46
  Speaker 20: The only platform they've put out was Kamala Harris's back
• 40:49
  Speaker 20: in 2024. And the only recently released platform by anyone
• 40:53
  Speaker 20: within 100 miles of that organization has been the DSA
• 40:57
  Speaker 20: saying they want to abolish the Supreme Court and the
• 40:59
  Speaker 20: Senate and get rid of Thanksgiving. So I have a
• 41:02
  Speaker 20: pretty strong confidence in the leadership in our camp right now,
• 41:06
  Speaker 20: as opposed to the Democrats who want to find the
• 41:09
  Speaker 20: craziest wackadoodle on planet Earth to lead their energy behind
• 41:13
  Speaker 20: Bernie Sanders, AOC, El Saeed, whoever it might be, and
• 41:18
  Speaker 20: I don't think their winning message for the American people
• 41:20
  Speaker 20: is anything other than just continuous anti-Trump rhetoric.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: No, look, I think you're absolutely right there. I will
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: say I do have concerns, and I've been talking to
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: a lot of folks in Texas. I was in Dallas
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, and people genuinely seem to
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: be concerned about the lack of movement on the part
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: of the Senate campaign. They're not putting in any money.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: John Thune says they've got no money to spend. Well,
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: they had $ 100 million that they spent to try to
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: beat Ken Paxton, and now they're claiming they got no
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: more money and that President Trump needs to jump in.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: I want to play some audio here. This is from
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: Majority Leader John Thune. He was on Fox News, and
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: he said, look, President Trump is the guy that's going
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: to have to spend money on this Texas Senate race.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Cut 44.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Cut 44.
• 42:13
  Speaker 21: Let's talk a little bit about Texas and the race
• 42:16
  Speaker 21: between James Tallarico and Ken Paxton. I know you supported
• 42:20
  Speaker 21: John Cornyn. The president supported Ken Paxton. One GOP donor
• 42:24
  Speaker 21: in Texas said you broke it, you own it. Is
• 42:26
  Speaker 21: his attitude towards the White House in terms of getting
• 42:30
  Speaker 21: going on backing that race? What do you think is
• 42:32
  Speaker 21: going to happen there?
• 42:34
  Speaker 13: I think that I'm hoping the White House will become engaged.
• 42:37
  Speaker 13: Texas is an incredibly expensive state and obviously one that
• 42:41
  Speaker 13: we need, that we've got to hold. If we're going
• 42:43
  Speaker 13: to keep the United States Senate, if we're going to
• 42:45
  Speaker 13: keep a majority, Martha, with Texas, that is, we absolutely
• 42:48
  Speaker 13: have to win that race. So everybody's all in for
• 42:51
  Speaker 13: Ken Paxton. The primary is over. We're focused now on
• 42:53
  Speaker 13: the general election. But because Texas is such an expensive state,
• 42:58
  Speaker 13: we're going to need the president and his team to
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: be engaged there and to be putting resources into that race.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: Luke, I get that. But the reality is, I don't
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: think he's really serious about it. And my concern is,
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: are there establishment Republicans who might be willing to throw
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: the election just to stop President Trump's agenda once and
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: for all?
• 43:20
  Speaker 20: It's possible, and that would be a horrible thing for
• 43:22
  Speaker 20: our party and our movement. I agree with you, Todd.
• 43:25
  Speaker 7: Let me be clear.
• 43:26
  Speaker 20: I don't have rosy red cheeks about the midterm elections.
• 43:29
  Speaker 20: I'm just saying I'm looking across the field at the
• 43:31
  Speaker 20: people we're playing against, and they don't have their act together.
• 43:35
  Speaker 20: Maybe if this were another year, if this were another
• 43:37
  Speaker 20: time where we actually had a cohesive group of individuals
• 43:40
  Speaker 20: we were going up against— with an alternative message and
• 43:43
  Speaker 20: platform it would be different. I just hear everybody saying
• 43:46
  Speaker 20: it's going to be complete doom and gloom before the
• 43:49
  Speaker 20: president has taken the field. Now they've got to start
• 43:51
  Speaker 20: spending the hundreds of millions of dollars that are in
• 43:54
  Speaker 20: this MAGA Inc. super pack, which I've worked for in
• 43:56
  Speaker 20: the past to know they know how to assemble a
• 43:58
  Speaker 20: great team. in order to pull people across the finish line.
• 44:02
  Speaker 20: I don't like the mentality of some of the entrenched
• 44:04
  Speaker 20: people in the United States Senate who are still bitter
• 44:07
  Speaker 20: that one of their good friends lost in a Senate
• 44:09
  Speaker 20: primary saying, we're not going to spend any money in
• 44:12
  Speaker 20: this race. We just need other people to pull together
• 44:14
  Speaker 20: and pull folks across the finish line. that's not a
• 44:17
  Speaker 20: team player mentality. That's a throw up your hands and
• 44:20
  Speaker 20: we'll see what happens mentality, which is exactly why people
• 44:23
  Speaker 20: are sick of the entrenched politicians in Washington. And it's
• 44:26
  Speaker 20: exactly how people lose elections when you refuse to pull
• 44:29
  Speaker 20: together after a primary and say, we're all on the
• 44:31
  Speaker 20: same team, move forward. John Cornyn is out there showing
• 44:34
  Speaker 20: people exactly who he is out there criticizing the president
• 44:37
  Speaker 20: left and right alongside of Bill Cassidy and It seems
• 44:40
  Speaker 20: like they all put on a great act until they
• 44:43
  Speaker 20: lose their election. The people choose not to bring them
• 44:45
  Speaker 20: back into office. That's when they show their true colors.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: And that's a fair point.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: And you're right.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, when you look at what the Democrats are
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: right now and how far to the left they've gone,
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: it seems to me we should be looking at a
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Republican landslide. But there are just a lot of disenfranchised
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: Republicans out there right now. And I'm talking about the
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: base of the party. And they're frustrated. You know, I
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: get it that they're frustrated about Iran and the gas
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: prices or the grocery prices. I get that. But the
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: reality is we have, I mean, we've got a clear
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: and present danger facing the Republic, the rise of political Islam,
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: the rise of the communists, and the only thing standing
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: between them and us is Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress.
• 45:31
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and I also fear that the Democrats have failed
• 45:34
  Speaker 20: so abysmally to pull together as a party, that it
• 45:38
  Speaker 20: has given rise to the radical fringes of that movement.
• 45:41
  Speaker 20: A few years ago in 2024, nobody even bothered to
• 45:45
  Speaker 20: poll how many Democrat socialists were in the Democrat party.
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: But today we know that one in three Democrats 33%
• 45:53
  Speaker 20: of them at least identify as Democrat Socialist. 66% of
• 45:57
  Speaker 20: them think that Socialism is a better alternative for the
• 46:01
  Speaker 20: United States than Capitalism. That's within the whole party itself.
• 46:04
  Speaker 20: They just don't identify as Democrat Socialist. They just think
• 46:07
  Speaker 20: Socialism is better than Capitalism. And the movement and energy
• 46:12
  Speaker 20: behind people in that party is not with some hokey moderate.
• 46:16
  Speaker 20: The centrists, the moderates, whatever you want to call them,
• 46:19
  Speaker 20: the legacy Democrats, as I've labeled them, have completely lost
• 46:22
  Speaker 20: the argument. So much so, Todd, that I see Hillary
• 46:25
  Speaker 20: Clinton out there actively brainstorming on live television about how
• 46:29
  Speaker 20: we're going to make these candidates more palatable to independents
• 46:32
  Speaker 20: in the electorate come November. She's not going to war
• 46:36
  Speaker 20: with the ideology in their party anymore. She is trying
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: to figure out how to accept them into her tent.
• 46:41
  Speaker 20: The centrists might have been fine with allowing the Democrat
• 46:44
  Speaker 20: Socialists into their big tent party, whatever that means, but
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: the Democrat Socialists or the Socialists and ultimately Communists had
• 46:51
  Speaker 20: no intention of allowing these centrist Democrats to remain in
• 46:54
  Speaker 20: that tent. They're here to overhaul America, not fine-tune America,
• 46:59
  Speaker 20: and that's why you're spot on, Todd, that this has
• 47:01
  Speaker 20: got to be a juxtaposition of ideologies, and I think
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: that's why we're having the convention. Where you show the
• 47:08
  Speaker 20: American people what the Republicans are standing for and show
• 47:11
  Speaker 20: the American people what the Democrats have allowed into their
• 47:14
  Speaker 20: party and then by default stand for themselves. Even if
• 47:18
  Speaker 20: the centrist Democrats– again, I use that term so loosely
• 47:22
  Speaker 20: because I don't think people are centrist or moderate in
• 47:25
  Speaker 20: that party anymore– But if the centrist Democrats had any
• 47:29
  Speaker 20: sort of opposition they wanted to put up to the
• 47:31
  Speaker 20: socialists in their party, the.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Time is gone.
• 47:34
  Speaker 20: The speak now or forever hold your peace moment has come.
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: And now they've got to forever hold their peace and hope,
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: hope that somebody decides to get some common sense in
• 47:43
  Speaker 20: that party and lead them in a different direction.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: But I'm not holding my breath.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: Luke, I've got about 30 seconds here. What are you
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: going to be looking for coming out of September 10th?
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: That's the final day of this midterm rally. What do
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: you expect to see?
• 47:56
  Speaker 20: So I'm going to be in Dallas for the convention.
• 48:00
  Speaker 20: I hope to see what I just described. The president
• 48:03
  Speaker 20: and the administration allies and anybody who goes there show
• 48:07
  Speaker 20: America what the Republicans stand for and what the Democrats
• 48:11
  Speaker 20: have allowed to seep into their party. Because it's not
• 48:15
  Speaker 20: just about maybe one or two policies. It's about an
• 48:19
  Speaker 20: entire ideology that will stand for the furtherance of America
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: or the utter destruction of the United States.
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: Well said. All right, we're going to be watching this. Luke,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: we're going to get you back and hopefully we'll be
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: talking to you live from Dallas. as we watch this
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: little bit of history take place right here before our
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: very eyes. Luke Ball, great to see you as always.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: Thanks, my friend.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: Appreciate you.
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: All right, there you have it, everybody. So again, this
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: is Politics Central. This is what we do, and we're
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: going to bring you the best analysis out there. And
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: just a reminder, it doesn't matter about political ideology. This
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: is about you, and this is about making sure that
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: we're voting our values. We'll be right back. All right,
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you, very impressed with Ron.
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: DeSantis.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: And this guy is the real deal. Pay attention. You're
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: going to start to see a lot of folks say,
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'm thinking about running, thinking about maybe
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: running in 2028. No doubt that we're going to see
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: a Marco Rubio or J.D.
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: Vance.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: And I know Pete Hankseth has already said that he's
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: not doing anything. But there's really no reason for Pete
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: Hegseth to go anywhere near the state of Iowa unless
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: he's actually, well, going to be running for the White House.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: So keep an eye on Hegseth as well. Let's go
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: to our phone line. Say hello to Mark from the Villages,
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: America's friendliest hometown. Mark, I mean, you live in Florida.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: What do you think about your guy?
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: We love Ron DeSantis. We think the world of them.
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: And did you get, I know you gave a speech
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: of him yesterday when he was giving a speech. Did
• 50:12
  Speaker 11: you hear the rest of that speech? When some lady
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: of Girt, as you would say, went off on him
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: and he interrupted her and he says, George Soros needs
• 50:22
  Speaker 11: to do a better job than that. And they escorted
• 50:25
  Speaker 11: her out, fell over the internet. It's pretty darn good.
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: You got to look that up. Play that clip when
• 50:31
  Speaker 11: she was going off on him. And he just stopped
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: her right there and says, Doris did a bad job.
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: He needs to put some better people in here. That's
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: the first thing I wanted to bring up to you.
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: And the second thing I had was boycott women's sports
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: out there in California. If you're going to sit there
• 50:49
  Speaker 11: and do this and allow them to play in a
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: women's sport, boycott them. These women need to start boycotting them.
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: End of story. Be done with it. And this slimeball
• 50:59
  Speaker 11: slickhead Newsom wants to run this country as a president?
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: He's a joke. He can't even run California. You know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: boycott that. And lastly, I know you've probably heard of
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: this five-year-old kid that was allowed to wander on his own,
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: and the mother just got arrested, and she's going to
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: have a seven-year tag against her because of it. I'm
• 51:17
  Speaker 11: pretty sure you've heard of it, but I have mixed
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: reviews on that.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: No, Mark, I haven't heard anything about that, and I
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: wish I'd have known about that beforehand. But yeah, thank
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: you for calling in, and thank you for listening to
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: the show. But again, let's stay on target here, ladies
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: and gentlemen, when you call into the program. 901-260-5926 is
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Something is up at Fox News Channel. This one is
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: very interesting. Just getting news that Maria Bartiromo has now
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: departed Fox News Channel. Fox News releasing a very terse
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: statement saying, we thank Maria for her work over the
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: last 12 and a half years and wish her all
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: the best. That's it. That's the statement. Jeez-a-loo. So that's
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: not a good thing. Maria, by the way, she was
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: a big Trump fan. And Maria Bartiromo, over the years,
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: became a darling of the White House. But it certainly
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: appears as though, well, Fox News just did not want
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: her there. So anyway, we'll keep you updated. That information
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: just coming out. is out at Fox News Channel. 901-260-5926
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. I want to play
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: some audio for you, ladies and gentlemen. This coming from
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: the DeKalb County Board of Elections. The woman's name is
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: Delay Lohman, and she says that the Pledge of Allegiance
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: is offensive.
• 53:14
  Speaker 12: Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is not unifying and requesting
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: it is offensive. I will not support it and I
• 53:22
  Speaker 12: hope that it does not get brought up again until
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: we can be assured that this country has pledged allegiance
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: to all of its citizens and treats all of us
• 53:31
  Speaker 12: as Americans, which it does not and never has.
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: That's it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 12: So when we have multiple people making pledges, complaints about
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, it feels like we have
• 53:46
  Speaker 12: lost the plot. Regarding the claim that this is somehow unifying,
• 53:54
  Speaker 12: I just want to remind you that our legislature convened
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: in a special session this summer to take voting representation
• 54:03
  Speaker 12: away from Black people.
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: None of that is true. None of that is true
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: at all, ladies and gentlemen. The idea that you can
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: have someone in a position of authority who hates our country,
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: who hates the Pledge of Allegiance, and by the way,
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: let me just say this, anybody who says that they
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: hate the Pledge of Allegiance or our National Anthem, they've
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: got no business running for office, they've got no business
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: serving in any capacity whatsoever. And by the way, if
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: you're offended by the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem,
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: don't let the door hit you where the good Lord
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: split you. Feel free to go to another country. I'm
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: sure they'll welcome you with open arms and a burka. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. 901-260-5926,
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. In all seriousness, if you are.
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: If you are someone who came to this country, you
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: were a refugee, your parents came here and they dragged
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: you along from the old world, And you have a
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: problem with America. You have a problem with our Constitution.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: You have a problem with our way of life. You've
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: got a problem with all the beautiful statues in Richmond, Virginia,
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: and many of the other southern states. You've got a
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: problem with Thomas Jefferson and the statue there that used
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: to be in City Hall in New York City. You
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: know what? You go back to your home. You go back.
• 55:35
  Speaker 5: Your immigration status is revoked, and you're gone. That's what
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: needs to happen here. And if we actually start paying
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: attention to who's actually coming into the country and making
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: sure America haters don't get into the country, we're going
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: to be better off, ladies and gentlemen. What can I
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: tell you? All right, got to take a break.
• 55:55
  Speaker 18: 901-260-5926.
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starnes Show. Well, we
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: have been following the latest developments out of Massachusetts, an
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: incredibly disturbing situation. The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy accused of, well,
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: she's not accused. She admitted to killing her three young children,
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: strangling them. By some estimations, it took at least five
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: to six minutes to strangle each of the children before
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: she threw herself off of the or out of the
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: second floor of her home. Lindsey Clancy now paralyzed and
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: also paralyzed the jury. The jury deadlocked the judge earlier today,
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: sending the jury back in to deliberate. Will they reach
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: a verdict? Well, I want to bring into the conversation
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: our good friend. She is a host of the Politically
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: Basic podcast, Kyle Campbell, joining us. Kyle, good to see you.
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: What do you make of the jury here? What's going on?
• 57:25
  Speaker 22: Well, I think the most commonly held suspicion is that
• 57:29
  Speaker 22: you have nine women and three men on this jury
• 57:32
  Speaker 22: in a case in which a lot of women across
• 57:35
  Speaker 22: the country, actually not a lot, a small group of
• 57:38
  Speaker 22: women across this country and a growing number are sympathizing
• 57:42
  Speaker 22: with Lindsay Clancy. And this is not a sequestered jury.
• 57:46
  Speaker 22: They are able to go home at the end of
• 57:48
  Speaker 22: the day. The jury instructions have been really carefully curated
• 57:53
  Speaker 22: to make sure that they are of doing their best
• 57:55
  Speaker 22: to stay off of social media, but that's in their hands, Todd.
• 57:58
  Speaker 22: So these people could very well be going home and
• 58:00
  Speaker 22: having conversations or some influences are making their way to them.
• 58:05
  Speaker 22: So we've got a deadlocked jury. It's headed for mistrial.
• 58:07
  Speaker 22: And this judge does not want to see that happen.
• 58:10
  Speaker 22: He's giving them every possible pathway to come to a
• 58:14
  Speaker 22: unanimous decision here. But it's not looking hopeful. And we
• 58:19
  Speaker 22: could be looking at a new trial and a completely
• 58:22
  Speaker 22: different New jury, Todd, that's been consuming all of this
• 58:26
  Speaker 22: social media and all of these opinions for the months
• 58:29
  Speaker 22: that we've been watching this.
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: I want to play some audio here. This is a
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: fascinating thing, the way that men are viewing the trial
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: as opposed to women. And the differences are really striking.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: Let's watch this together. Cut 20.
• 58:49
  Speaker 15: The jury is deliberating on a verdict for Lindsay Clancy,
• 58:52
  Speaker 15: and so we are asking people today whether or not.
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: They think that she's innocent or guilty.
• 58:56
  Speaker 17: I think she's innocent.
• 58:57
  Speaker 23: I think if she was guilty, I think it needs
• 58:58
  Speaker 23: to be a state of psychosis. She does not deserve
• 59:00
  Speaker 23: prison time. Based on all the evidence I've seen, the
• 59:03
  Speaker 23: time stamps just doesn't add up. to I don't think
• 59:05
  Speaker 23: she had enough time to kill all three kids and
• 59:07
  Speaker 23: harm herself guilty sorry I said it.
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: I think she's guilty but I do think there's a
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: lot of like.
• 59:15
  Speaker 23: Gray area and I don't know her husband seems says
• 59:17
  Speaker 23: to me.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: I think she should be found guilty from the little
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: bit of research that I have done I think her
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: her diagnosis she said I think it was a mental
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: issue she was trying to blame it I don't.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: Agree She's guilty of the murdering part of it, but.
• 59:36
  Speaker 16: I do think that there's a lot of underlying mental
• 59:38
  Speaker 16: health issues and women's health issues that need to be.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: Talked about with that trial.
• 59:42
  Speaker 19: Whether or not she did it from a state of sanity,
• 59:44
  Speaker 19: she killed her kids.
• 59:45
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: She shouldn't be walking free, probably. Lindsay Clancy trial, have
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: you guys been following it?
• 59:50
  Speaker 9: My girlfriend has.
• 59:52
  Speaker 16: I know nothing about it, but she's on TikTok for
• 59:54
  Speaker 16: like three hours in the morning.
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: What does your girlfriend say about it?
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: She thinks she's innocent.
• 59:59
  Speaker 21: What do you think?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: I don't know enough about it.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 16: I just know what she says.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: I wish I knew something about it.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 20: The guilty party is like the medical system that failed
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 20: both her and the children.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: Hey, who is that?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: She's on trial right now for strangling her three kids
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: to death.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 17: Wait, is this the lady who had postpartum?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 19: I hope that Lindsay Clancy not only gets strapped to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 19: an electric chair, but that they lethally inject her three
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 19: different times. And here's the crazy part about the Clancy trial,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 19: and I could go on for days on this.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: Two things.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: Number one, if you think that men are holding women
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 19: to too high of standards, and your poster child is
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 19: Lindsay Clancy, How low do you want the standard to be?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 19: The only thing we're asking she refrain from doing is
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 19: killing the kids when her husband goes out to get
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 19: her Midol.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: Is that too much to ask for? Is that a
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: Leviathan lift for you?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 19: Please don't kill the kids while we're out getting bananas.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 19: And number two, you can't have it both ways, okay?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 19: The same women that are standing outside of the courthouse
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 19: railing on and on about how her husband should have
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 19: intervened and taken control of her medications and, God forbid,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 19: involuntarily had her committed and separated from her children would
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 19: have been the same women.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: Who, if he had done that, would have said, handmaid's tale.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: Do you feel like men's response to this trial has
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: been fair? No, I don't think a man should have
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: any say in it, honestly.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: All right, Kyle, your take on what we just saw there.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 22: Well, we've got to get to the crux of this, Todd.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 22: You know, we're dealing with two separate issues here. And
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 22: women have decided they're going to separate out how women
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 22: have been treated, how mothers have been treated postpartum, all
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 22: of the ways that their husband is either there for
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 22: them or not. And may that be issue in determining
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 22: whether or not Lindsay Clancy is guilty and what her
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 22: recourse should be. The recompense should be here. That is
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 22: not what is on trial, how stressed she was, what
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 22: the state of her marriage and her support system was, um,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 22: how well she was taken care of after she had
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 22: these babies. Those are influencing factors, but their jury has
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 22: got to make a determination. Did she know what she
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 22: was doing when she strangled admittedly strangled those three children?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 22: And it seems like she did. And I think the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 22: issue here is coming down to, can the jury members
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 22: make that delineation enough? Take the emotions out of it
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 22: and just go by the book, go by the law
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 22: and their jury instructions to come to a unanimous decision.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 22: I wish I were more hopeful. I just think this
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 22: one got into people's wherewithal too much before they were
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 22: placed on this jury.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: Kyle, I want to switch gears here. The former first lady,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: Michelle Obama, has been doing a lot of podcasting, and
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: she's showing a rather narcissistic side of herself. She and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: her husband were being asked about their daughters, and she
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: has a very different take on Her daughter's going off
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: to college, going off to school, as opposed to her husband.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: Let's check out this comment from Michelle Obama.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 9: You know, the energy and excitement of the kids being
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: around is so incredible.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: I don't miss them.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 16: I don't.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 17: I love them. I'm going to see them tonight for dinner.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 17: I love them.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: But, you know, Barack cried when they went to college.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: I was like, bye, little boy.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: Goodbye.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 10: Now Friday nights aren't wrecked with terror and fear.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 17: About where are you? Where are you?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 17: No, I get that. I love their emancipation and growth.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: The thing I miss, though, is the job. Don't you miss?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: See, your kids are still in high school, so it's
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: still a job.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: It gave a meaning and pattern to my life.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 17: I'm good.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 17: Look at all the meaning I have.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: She's different.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 17: I have a wonderful pattern.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 11: Oh, man.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 9: I love my kids' schedule. Yeah, there's something about the schedule.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 10: I love their schedule. I love my schedule. I have
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 10: a great schedule, and it's all mine. But I think
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 10: fathers can be that way because you weren't there.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 17: From six and nine.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: And we missed a lot of it.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 17: You missed a lot of it. I mean, I've had
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 17: so much quality time with my children.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: Kyle, what do you make of that?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 22: I hate this culture that we're developing where moms are
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 22: looking at their children as burdens. I don't appreciate that.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 22: The Bible tells us that children are a gift and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 22: a reward from the Lord. And yeah, guess what team?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 22: It's really hard to parent, especially nowadays. We've got a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 22: lot of things coming at us all the time. We're tired.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 22: We're cranky. I just really, that hits me wrong, Todd,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 22: when you hear moms kind of criticize kids and complain
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 22: too much about being a parent. It's so great that
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 22: Michelle and Barack's kids are off on their own and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 22: they are emancipated and doing life on their own. And
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 22: that's when you should be enjoying them again and more
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 22: because you can have a different kind of relationship with them.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 22: So I wish Michelle Obama could appreciate what she has.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 22: I think a lot of people wish that they had
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 22: two beautiful, successful children, and she's got them. So we'll
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 22: see if she can get her head turned around on
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 22: that issue.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: You know, it reminds me, this is not the first
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: time that she's talked about how, you know, again, how
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: she was inconvenienced by having to live at the White House,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: by being put in the spotlight. And she was doing
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: an interview with Robin Roberts from ABC, Good Morning America.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 5: And here's what she had to say then.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: One word to describe your next chapter.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 13: One word.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: Fun.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 11: Uh, me.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: That's what you call drop the mic.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's all about her now. That's it, Kyle.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 17: I think so.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 22: I think that she, you know, she was first lady,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 22: but maybe second fiddle during their time. in the white
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 22: house and she's ready to go out there and do her. Uh,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 22: and you know, Barack's probably okay with that. Really, really, uh,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 22: boiling it down there. But again, it's just the true
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 22: colors are coming out. I think that she probably stood
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 22: behind her husband during those eight years, watched him take
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 22: every interview, asked every question, had every camera focused on him.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 22: And I think some of that set in for her
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 22: that she wanted her time to give her opinions and
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 22: and have cameras focused on her. So now she's taking it,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 22: and this is who she really is. So watch out, world.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 22: The real Michelle's coming.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: No, I think you're absolutely right. I've got about 30
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 5: seconds here, Kyle. But again, this goes back to something
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: biblical about parents or children honoring their mother and father,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: but also parents loving their children. I've got the 30 seconds.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 22: Well, we're supposed to bring them up in the way
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 22: they should go. And when they're grown, they won't deviate
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 22: from it. But you know what, Todd, you've got to
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 22: be a parent till your very last breath. It doesn't
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 22: stop when they're 18. So we've got to do a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 22: little bit of a better job here as a society.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 22: We're going to love those kiddos, but make sure we're
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 22: training them up and sending them off in the right
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 22: way forever.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: Wise words from Kyle Campbell. Kyle, we always love having
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: you on the show. Thank you for joining us. Thanks
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: for your great analysis here. A couple of big stories
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 5: we've been following. And be sure to follow Kyle's great podcast,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: The Politically Basic Podcast. You're going to love it. You
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: can also follow her on socials. And we have all
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: of that up on the screen for you. All right.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: Got to take a break here, folks. We've got a
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: lot more coming ahead your way. Our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Again,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: that number, 901-260-5926. Your calls, coming up next. All right,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: Happy to have you with us today. So, I want
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: to talk football. I am very excited about what is
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: happening in, of all places, Memphis, Tennessee, which is my hometown.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: And the University of Memphis Tigers have a brand-new head coach.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: His name is Charles Huff, and he's already making national
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: headlines for all the good reasons. So Coach Huff is
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: an old-school football coach, and I think, honestly, we've lost
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: a lot of that in athletics. We've lost those rough-and-tumble,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: gruff coaches that went out there, and they weren't wanting
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: to be your kid's best friend. They were wanting to
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: coach your kid so that your kid could grow up
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: and be a better man, to learn how to be
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: a man. And one of the big challenges that we
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: see in college athletics, especially now with the onset of
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: the NIL– and all of the money, is that the
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: young guys are actually not focused on getting a good
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: college education, which is ultimately what this is supposed to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: be about. I mean, you want to have a national
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: champion football team, but you also want to make sure
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: that you are raising up these young men to be
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: solid members of society. And Coach Huff comes into this
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 5: Memphis program in one of the deadliest cities in America,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: a city where many of these young boys are growing
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: up in fatherless homes. And he sits down and he says,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 5: you know what? We're going to teach these young men
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: how to be prepared. That's what we're going to do.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: Cut 16.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: We don't play music at practice. So if you want music,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: you're not going to play for me. So we get
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: the kids who are worried about football and creating value
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: for themselves. We don't do ice cream trucks. We don't
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: do fun things. You know what's fun? That locker room
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: right now is fun. You know what's fun? When these
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: guys graduate and they get to walk across the state,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: that's fun. So, no, we're not the– and what I'm
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: not saying, I'm not saying that other programs that do
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: that are not right. That's great. We have an opportunity
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: for the next six months for some of these kids
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: to change their life forever. So it is our job
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: as coaches, adults, administrators, supporters to do everything we can.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: We spent a week and a half with Dr. Sherry
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Mai teaching these guys how to sleep.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Because this trip was important. So she taught us how
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: to sleep. She taught us the value of sleep. She
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: taught us what to do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, coming up.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Guys on the plane with eye masks, guys on the
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: plane with 30-minute timers on. Last night, we're staying up
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: 30 minutes later because we're trying to do everything we
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: can at the University of Memphis to help these guys
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: be successful in life. And if that means we had
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: to bring in a sleep doctor to help them sleep
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: a little better because we were playing, it's 1 o'clock
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: back home. So if we had to do something to
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: that minute of a detail to help these guys, it's
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: what we have to do. And I think once they
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: get here and they feel that love, I think they
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: really embrace it.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: You know, we don't have a lot of coaches in
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 5: America that are speaking truth into the minds of these
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 5: young and, quite frankly, impressionable athletes. And I'm excited. I
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: think it's going to be a great football season. I
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 5: know ESPN is already freaking out, and they're saying, oh,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: wait a second, what's going on in Memphis? This is
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: something that we didn't expect. Again, the Tigers go in,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: and they defeat UNLV on their home territory, and then
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 5: they come out, and it's all business. So I just
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: deeply appreciate that. By the way, Coach Huff was on
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: the staff of Nick Saban, and you can tell that
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: in a lot of his conversations, and basically the way
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: he conducts himself. This is a business, and he's conducting
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: that football team as if it is a company of
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: young professionals. And I'm excited about that because, again, this
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: is one of the things that we have seen in
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 5: the culture, and I write about this in my book,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: The Golden Age, is that for at least a generation,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: young men have been told in America there's something wrong
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: with them. Rush Limbaugh predicted famously that one day the
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: feminist would come after things like the NFL. And sure enough,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: we have seen that happen. We have seen the NFL,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: professional football, professional sports coming under attack. And we have
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: seen young men being told that their behavior is somehow toxic.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: And we've seen a generation of young men who have
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: been medicated because of that. So it's really refreshing, and
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: you have to give credit to President Trump for making
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: it okay to be a man again. And I think
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons that so many young men
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: in America are attracted to President Trump and his messaging.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: So all that to say, good luck to Coach Huff
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: and the Memphis Tigers. The coach, a good Christian, godly man,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: and I have no doubt that he is going to
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: make sure these young men grow up to be great, productive,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: good citizens as well. All right, we've got to take
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.
