- 0:55Speaker 3: out to Memphis, Tennessee, doing a task force roundtable, as
- 0:59Speaker 3: you know in his has been talking about quite a
- 1:01Speaker 3: bit on the program. Actually a task force of ice
- 1:05Speaker 3: agents of law enforcement trying to deal with the crime
- 1:09Speaker 3: going on in that region. So guess what he's doing,
- 1:12Speaker 3: the roundtable. And Todd is there and actually meeting with

- 1:23Speaker 3: the show goes on, because there's plenty to talk about. Well,
- 1:25Speaker 3: welcome into it. It is the top Searnge radio program.
- 1:28Speaker 3: So great to have you along to the ride today.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:31Speaker 3: There is plenty to talk about today with the ongoing
- 1:35Speaker 3: filibuster SAYVACDHS funding and a heck of a lot more.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Plus there's some hearings today, the Supreme Court hearing on
- 1:42Speaker 3: mail and ballots in the nation. We have updates with
- 1:46Speaker 3: Iran and more. But I don't want to waste time
- 1:47Speaker 3: because we have our first guest right out of the
- 1:50Speaker 3: gate today as we go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker hotline.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Really happy to have on.
- 1:54Speaker 3: He is my senator here from the great state of Kansas,
- 1:56Speaker 3: and an update of what the heck's going on in DC.
- 1:58Speaker 3: But really happy to have on here, Senator Roger Marshall, Senator,
- 2:01Speaker 3: how are you, my friend Andy?
- 2:03Speaker 4: It's great to be with you, and you're right. We
- 2:06Speaker 4: have a lot on our plate and a lot to
- 2:08Speaker 4: talk about today. Where do you want to start?
- 2:10Speaker 2: Oh, I tell you what it has been wild.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I have to say I've been following as much as
- 2:14Speaker 3: I can with the filibuster on the Senate floor, and
- 2:16Speaker 3: every time I turn the feed on, I see you there.
- 2:19Speaker 3: You are rocking it on that Senate floor calling out
- 2:21Speaker 3: the Democrats for the lack of this passage of the
- 2:23Speaker 3: Save Act right now. We're a week into it now,
- 2:25Speaker 3: because I believe you guys started it right around this
- 2:27Speaker 3: time last week.
- 2:29Speaker 2: What's the latest.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Are we any closer to actually seeing the vote happen
- 2:32Speaker 3: on this thing and getting it through?
- 2:34Speaker 4: Hey, Amy, I'm afraid not. We even gave the Democrats
- 2:37Speaker 4: an opportunity to vote just on a standalone voter ID
- 2:42Speaker 4: and they voted that down. Seventy percent of Democrats, eighty
- 2:45Speaker 4: percent of Americans think it's reasonable to have a real
- 2:48Speaker 4: ID when you go to vote. We believe in the
- 2:51Speaker 4: sanctity of our elections. We trust that we verify. Right
- 2:55Speaker 4: when you and I get on an airplane, everyone recognizes Andy, who'sier,
- 2:58Speaker 4: Everyone recognized Marshall. But we have to verify it. Why
- 3:03Speaker 4: is that unreasonable when we go vote to ask that
- 3:06Speaker 4: same type of trust that verify that. We're making no
- 3:10Speaker 4: progress if the Democrat senators don't believe in voter ID.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really unfortunate. Why would be the big issue?
- 3:19Speaker 3: They always say, and I've been hearing them on the
- 3:20Speaker 3: Senate floor as well, saying that it's a non issue,
- 3:23Speaker 3: that no one illegally is voting. No one's voting without
- 3:26Speaker 3: some type of ID. There's no illegal aliens or undocumented
- 3:30Speaker 3: people that are voting in the elections. It's a non issue, Senator.
- 3:33Speaker 3: If it were a non issue, then this wouldn't be
- 3:35Speaker 3: something that we have to do a filibuster for for
- 3:37Speaker 3: an entire week. I would think that if it's a
- 3:40Speaker 3: non issue, you just pass it, you blow it off,
- 3:42Speaker 3: and then be like, uh, you know what, it's not
- 3:44Speaker 3: a big issue anyway, so why the heck do we
- 3:45Speaker 3: need to shut everything down for it. It's kind of
- 3:47Speaker 3: a telling sign for Democrats, isn't it exactly?
- 3:51Speaker 4: I'd make two points. Number one is no American wants
- 3:54Speaker 4: to vote canceled by an illegal vote. That we value
- 3:58Speaker 4: our vote so much. It just makes me want to
- 4:01Speaker 4: cry to think that my vote could be canceled. You know,
- 4:04Speaker 4: you work all day, you get off work instead of
- 4:07Speaker 4: going home, you stop, you stand in line for two hours,
- 4:09Speaker 4: and you vote. So the thought of your vote being canceled.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Whether it's one or one hundred or one thousand of them,
- 4:15Speaker 4: we shouldn't let that help happen. Secondly, at least sixty
- 4:19Speaker 4: percent of Americans have some concern about election integrity one
- 4:23Speaker 4: way or the other. And we saw this we fall
- 4:25Speaker 4: for two reasons. Number one is when they opened up
- 4:29Speaker 4: non solicited ballots. When you're sending out more ballots than
- 4:33Speaker 4: there are people in your county, you know something is wrong.
- 4:36Speaker 4: You know, these people have moved, they've died, they've never
- 4:38Speaker 4: been taken off the role, but they're getting a non
- 4:40Speaker 4: solicited ballot. So what's happening with those and the other
- 4:44Speaker 4: backed off, whether we're talking about DHS funding or this,
- 4:46Speaker 4: is that we have fifty million non citizens in this country. Now,
- 4:50Speaker 4: we have fifty million people that are not citizens of
- 4:53Speaker 4: this country living here, one out of six, one out
- 4:55Speaker 4: of seven people. Four states are actively registering those people
- 4:59Speaker 4: to vote. And that's really that's the ultimate goal here,
- 5:03Speaker 4: is they want these non citizens on their voter roles.
- 5:07Speaker 4: They think that that's the future of the Democrat Party.
- 5:09Speaker 4: And that's where you know, I kind of tie DHS
- 5:11Speaker 4: and the stay back together up here.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:14Speaker 3: No, absolutely, it really shows the priority, and it's been
- 5:16Speaker 3: a common denominator. When President Trump asked everybody to stand
- 5:19Speaker 3: during the State of the Union and said, if you
- 5:21Speaker 3: represent Americans over illegal aliens, they refuse to stand. They're
- 5:25Speaker 3: shutting down the government for the Save Act, They're shutting
- 5:27Speaker 3: down the government for DHS funding and ICE reforms. I mean,
- 5:30Speaker 3: we can show exactly what their priorities are. So Senator
- 5:33Speaker 3: here's the next question. What is the next step with
- 5:35Speaker 3: this filibuster? How long will it go? And John Kennedy
- 5:38Speaker 3: actually proposed an idea of separating DHS funding from ICE,
- 5:42Speaker 3: which is what Democrats have been proposing to do, and
- 5:45Speaker 3: then actually passing ICE funding without the super majority that
- 5:49Speaker 3: you need and doing it as a simple vote in
- 5:51Speaker 3: a different way.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Is that possible? And then do you think that's the
- 5:54Speaker 2: next step?
- 5:55Speaker 4: So I think certainly for the DHS funding it is,
- 5:59Speaker 4: and that would be reconciliation process that only requires fifty votes.
- 6:05Speaker 4: This is how we did the Working Family Tax cuts bill,
- 6:07Speaker 4: so we would do the same thing. Senator Kennedy, I
- 6:11Speaker 4: are on the Budget committee we're supposed to meet today.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Senator Lindsey Graham is the chairperson of that particular committee.
- 6:18Speaker 4: We discussed it all weekend, and now we need to
- 6:21Speaker 4: make it happen. Look, Congress needs to go down two
- 6:23Speaker 4: roads at the same time, sometimes three roads, and if
- 6:26Speaker 4: the Democrats aren't going to come and negotiate them, we
- 6:28Speaker 4: need to move forward. I want to you make a
- 6:30Speaker 4: real strong point here, Andy, is that the Democrats have
- 6:33Speaker 4: already stopped negotiating. It took them thirty days days they
- 6:36Speaker 4: set on VHS funding for thirty days no funding before
- 6:40Speaker 4: they agreed to set down face to face with Republicans
- 6:43Speaker 4: on the Appropriations Committee that's where this would be negotiated.
- 6:46Speaker 4: They had two talks and then they called off the
- 6:49Speaker 4: rest of them. It took him eighteen days to respond
- 6:51Speaker 4: to President Trump's offer as well. Look, the Democrats wants it.
- 6:55Speaker 4: That is that they're putting their political priorities ahead of
- 6:59Speaker 4: the safety of a mayor constitutions. Every day they delay
- 7:01Speaker 4: funding for DHS.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Yeah, amen to that.
- 7:04Speaker 3: It is unfortunate, but again their political stance going into midterms.
- 7:07Speaker 3: I don't know if it's gonna bde wealth and well
- 7:09Speaker 3: for them.
- 7:10Speaker 2: For sure.
- 7:10Speaker 3: We're talking with you, Senator Roger Marshall's state of Kansas,
- 7:13Speaker 3: my senator here, and the state of Kansas kind of
- 7:15Speaker 3: on this topic. We had the DHS funding that is
- 7:18Speaker 3: still lingering right now because of ICE particularly, and we
- 7:21Speaker 3: saw the announcement over the weekend from President Trump of
- 7:24Speaker 3: sending ICE agents to become TASA workers at airports from
- 7:28Speaker 3: the long lines, some of the first ones showing up
- 7:30Speaker 3: at the airport in Georgia and in Atlanta. That making
- 7:33Speaker 3: the news today. I've seen some of the video, is
- 7:35Speaker 3: that some of the political leverage. Does this take leverage
- 7:37Speaker 3: away from Democrats when what they're trying to reform we're
- 7:40Speaker 3: just gonna send them out to become TSA agents.
- 7:44Speaker 4: Well, and I don't know how this is going to
- 7:46Speaker 4: work out. I think it sounds pretty simple that I
- 7:50Speaker 4: appreciate the ICE agents being there. I do think they're
- 7:53Speaker 4: gonna make the airport safer. Maybe it slows down some
- 7:57Speaker 4: of the trafficking coming through there, as human trafficking, that
- 8:00Speaker 4: type of thing as well. I think this is it's
- 8:04Speaker 4: a much more complicated puzzle. I don't think that's going
- 8:06Speaker 4: to solve the problem. And just say big thank you
- 8:09Speaker 4: to all those ts agents out there. They're patriots. So
- 8:11Speaker 4: these are the modern day patriots. Remember our four our
- 8:14Speaker 4: founding fathers, they weren't getting paid either the military, and
- 8:17Speaker 4: the ones that did it was people like you and
- 8:19Speaker 4: me reaching into our pockets and paying those soldiers as
- 8:23Speaker 4: well in so many cases. So I feel horrible about
- 8:25Speaker 4: the situation. But I wake up every morning, Andy, like
- 8:28Speaker 4: you do, and say, is my family safe today? As
- 8:31Speaker 4: our Kansas safe today? Are Americans safe today? And I
- 8:34Speaker 4: think that this is such a big issue that we
- 8:37Speaker 4: have to keep DHS together. Remember DHS was started in
- 8:42Speaker 4: the ashes of nine to eleven that they we had
- 8:46Speaker 4: took twenty two agencies and combined them working together. If
- 8:50Speaker 4: these agencies have been cooperating with each other sharing information,
- 8:55Speaker 4: maybe nine to eleven doesn't happen. You know, everyone had
- 8:57Speaker 4: a piece of the puzzle, but no one puts the
- 8:59Speaker 4: puzzle to gather DHS. We need to fund the whole thing.
- 9:02Speaker 4: We need to keep them more king together.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Well, we have some serious concerns. We've already had three
- 9:07Speaker 3: or four different terrorist attacks on American soil already with
- 9:10Speaker 3: these quote unquote sleeper cells, independent agents, whoever they are,
- 9:13Speaker 3: which is a concern.
- 9:14Speaker 2: So let's go there for a moment.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Senator. I know you're short on time, but let's talk
- 9:17Speaker 3: about Iran. The news that we saw yesterday throughout the weekend,
- 9:20Speaker 3: President Trump saying that we're halting any type of bombing,
- 9:23Speaker 3: and I ran for five days with quote negotiations and
- 9:26Speaker 3: conversations happening right now. Have we met our goal? We
- 9:29Speaker 3: looked at a four to six week timeline. We're about
- 9:31Speaker 3: four weeks into it.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Now.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Have we met the goals that we were looking at?
- 9:35Speaker 3: And what could the potentially be the future of this
- 9:37Speaker 3: negotiation with Iran look like?
- 9:39Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 9:39Speaker 4: I first of all, as a former officer in the
- 9:41Speaker 4: military myself, I want to stop and just mourn the
- 9:44Speaker 4: loss of thirteen soldiers, and there's a dozen or more
- 9:48Speaker 4: that are seriously injured, and I pray for God's speed
- 9:51Speaker 4: for our troops server there, and I'm grateful for their efforts.
- 9:54Speaker 4: To answer your question, I think we're ninety percent there.
- 9:57Speaker 4: President Trump layed out very clearly goals. Don't let's the
- 10:01Speaker 4: national media fool you. He in writing, he said, we're goals.
- 10:05Speaker 4: We wanted to store Iran's missiles, their nukes, their navy,
- 10:08Speaker 4: and destroy their ability to fund, arm and train terrorists.
- 10:12Speaker 4: So on the first three, I think we're ninety percent there.
- 10:15Speaker 4: I think on the ability to fund an armed terrorists.
- 10:18Speaker 4: I'm afraid we've got some work to do and and
- 10:20Speaker 4: that'll be the hard judgment call as well. This thing
- 10:24Speaker 4: is fluid as day to day. Remember who we're dealing
- 10:27Speaker 4: with here, and that's why it makes it so hard,
- 10:29Speaker 4: is that we're dealing with irrational, bloodthirsty deocracy, religious fanatics,
- 10:36Speaker 4: if you will, and it's there's there's nothing rational in
- 10:39Speaker 4: their in their thought process. So it's really hard for
- 10:42Speaker 4: us from Western culture to grasp what that is like
- 10:45Speaker 4: right now. But I'm just supporting the troops, and I
- 10:48Speaker 4: appreciate everyone you know, praying for the troops and just
- 10:52Speaker 4: praying that they'll be protected and then we'll be successful
- 10:54Speaker 4: as well, so generations of Americans will be protected from
- 10:58Speaker 4: future terrorist attection from the horrible, horrible theocracy.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 11:03Speaker 3: I want to see a different regime in there, and
- 11:04Speaker 3: I don't want this to go on for long. I
- 11:06Speaker 3: don't want this to go on forever. We're not about
- 11:08Speaker 3: long term conflict. And that's why so many people supported
- 11:10Speaker 3: President Trump was because he wasn't about long term conflict,
- 11:13Speaker 3: military industrial complex, that sort of thing. But if we're
- 11:16Speaker 3: gonna do it like, I don't want the same regime
- 11:19Speaker 3: that continues to lie to us day in and day
- 11:20Speaker 3: out to continue to be in there. I think that's
- 11:22Speaker 3: kind of counter intuitive of what we've been trying to do.
- 11:25Speaker 3: At the same time, we've seen gas prices this morning,
- 11:27Speaker 3: at least on a Monday, begin to go back down
- 11:30Speaker 3: the straight of horror moves actually opening up again. I
- 11:32Speaker 3: know you've proposed an idea for the agricultural side when
- 11:35Speaker 3: it comes to fertilizer and the Fertilizer Act right now,
- 11:37Speaker 3: trying to help out farmers because of how this has
- 11:39Speaker 3: been impacting that sector of our industry here in the
- 11:43Speaker 3: United States. I know it's early right now and there's
- 11:46Speaker 3: a lot of uncertainty, but are we more optimistic we
- 11:48Speaker 3: could see a balancing out of some of these oil
- 11:50Speaker 3: prices and get things back on track agriculturally.
- 11:53Speaker 4: We will landy. I mean, history has played out just
- 11:56Speaker 4: lied for us right now. This will seem like a
- 12:00Speaker 4: a hiccup a couple of years from now, but regardless,
- 12:03Speaker 4: we are focused on those input costs for farmers. If
- 12:06Speaker 4: we saw natural gas we excuse me back up. We
- 12:09Speaker 4: saw fertilizer prices go up fifty percent under Joe Biden,
- 12:12Speaker 4: so we've started at this high price. Already, fertilizer of
- 12:16Speaker 4: the nitrogen fertilizer is made from natural gas. So whenever
- 12:20Speaker 4: there's a conflict in the Middle East, that this is
- 12:23Speaker 4: a worldwide commodity, just like oil. So if oil goes up,
- 12:27Speaker 4: then this commodity goes up. The good news is here
- 12:30Speaker 4: in America is that natural gas LNG's only went up
- 12:33Speaker 4: about five percent versus for instance, in Europe it's went
- 12:37Speaker 4: up fifty percent, So we have the capacity to make
- 12:43Speaker 4: more of It's what I'm trying to say and what
- 12:44Speaker 4: our bill does right now. The fertilizers that like many
- 12:48Speaker 4: industries in America, the fertilizer industry, you have three or
- 12:51Speaker 4: four dominant companies controlling ninety percent of the industry. So
- 12:55Speaker 4: we're trying to spur competition. And by the way, our
- 12:58Speaker 4: working Family text us bills does a lot of that already,
- 13:01Speaker 4: allowing people to ride off even the physical plant part
- 13:05Speaker 4: over a year's time as opposed to over thirty years time.
- 13:07Speaker 4: But we're going to try to promote new entries into
- 13:10Speaker 4: that market. Something called a bio stamulant is something that
- 13:14Speaker 4: we would like to promote. So rather than using nitrogen.
- 13:16Speaker 4: There's natural like fungus and bacteria that help the roots
- 13:21Speaker 4: grab water and grab the natural fertilizers out of the soil.
- 13:24Speaker 4: So it's one little piece of the puzzle. But like you,
- 13:27Speaker 4: we're hoping a very quickly end and successful into the war.
- 13:31Speaker 3: And Iran, Yeah, well that's awesome and I love the
- 13:33Speaker 3: fact you guys are focusing on this, and I know
- 13:35Speaker 3: it's another conversation that we need more time for at
- 13:37Speaker 3: a later time. But the diversity in the egg sector,
- 13:40Speaker 3: especially the meat processing plants, the fertilizer, the pesticide makers.
- 13:43Speaker 3: I mean, it's so centralized with just a handful of people,
- 13:46Speaker 3: and we import it from so many people. It's nice
- 13:49Speaker 3: to see some competition come back and to have this
- 13:51Speaker 3: stuff start being made in the grandele Us of A. Again,
- 13:53Speaker 3: last question for you, senator, and I appreciate your time.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Mark Wayne Mullen's confirmation hearing tomorrow or the vote in
- 13:59Speaker 3: the Senate potentially with the filibuster that's still going on
- 14:02Speaker 3: right now, are you optimistic we're going to see that
- 14:04Speaker 3: confirmation go through.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I do. It's a fifty vote thresh show threshold. He
- 14:10Speaker 4: got fifty four through the cloture to the previous vote.
- 14:14Speaker 4: So I really think that we'll be in good shape
- 14:17Speaker 4: to make it across the finish line. And it's too
- 14:19Speaker 4: bad it is on partisan lines. But again here the
- 14:22Speaker 4: Democrats are, they're the defund the police party. We are
- 14:26Speaker 4: about law and order, secure borders, making sure your family safe.
- 14:29Speaker 4: But he's going to do a great job. This guy
- 14:31Speaker 4: loves America. He's a patriot, He's not going to be
- 14:34Speaker 4: He's never going to back down from anybody. He's going
- 14:37Speaker 4: to make our family stay for at the end of
- 14:38Speaker 4: the day. So Mark Wayne has our full support.
- 14:42Speaker 2: I love it.
- 14:42Speaker 6: Well.
- 14:42Speaker 3: If they were upset about the strong willedness of Christy
- 14:45Speaker 3: Noman in that position, just wait until Mark Waynemullen gets
- 14:47Speaker 3: in there, and they're going to be in for a treat.
- 14:49Speaker 2: So I love it us.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Senator Roger Marshall of the State of Kansas, my senator
- 14:52Speaker 3: here in the Great State of Kansas, as owey Senator,
- 14:54Speaker 3: we appreciate it very much. Keep up the fight, brother,

- 15:00Speaker 3: You always a pleasure to speak with mus Senator Roger
- 15:03Speaker 3: Marshall from the Great State of Kansas on the Patriot
- 15:05Speaker 3: Mobile news Maker Hotlines here on the Ton Starns Radio Show.
- 15:08Speaker 3: A lot of things happening in DC. I want to
- 15:09Speaker 3: spend some time breaking a lot of that down throughout
- 15:11Speaker 3: the show today and its open lines of course to
- 15:13Speaker 3: you at nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 15:16Speaker 3: two six. Where do we go from here? A lot
- 15:18Speaker 3: of uncertainty up in the air, and so much happening
- 15:20Speaker 3: that they try to distract us with pettiness. We'll cover
- 15:23Speaker 3: it all. Got to take a break right back here
- 15:25Speaker 3: on the Todd Starns Radio Show.
- 15:26Speaker 7: Everybody, Todd Stearns here, and I've got to tell you
- 15:29Speaker 7: about my friends at PhD Weight Loss, my very good
- 15:32Speaker 7: friends at PhD Weight Loss. I'm down twelve pounds already,
- 15:36Speaker 7: and at PhD Weight Loss they've identified that one thing
- 15:40Speaker 7: and they built a plan that works with your body
- 15:43Speaker 7: and not against it. If you call now, they're going

- 16:41Speaker 2: Back behind the microphone tomorrow.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Do not miss it and he'll have a lot to
- 16:45Speaker 3: talk about as he is meeting soon, if not like
- 16:48Speaker 3: right now, meeting with President Donald Trump. They're in Memphis.
- 16:50Speaker 3: They're holding their roundtable talking about the task force that
- 16:53Speaker 3: has been a major issue there in Memphis cleaning up
- 16:57Speaker 3: some of the crime in the streets for that area.
- 16:59Speaker 2: So that's really exciting.
- 17:00Speaker 3: We'll have more information on that, maybe Toddle call in
- 17:02Speaker 3: and give us an update later on once he goes
- 17:04Speaker 3: through his thing, and looking forward to hearing from that.
- 17:07Speaker 3: But thanks kind to US Senator Roger Marshall on the
- 17:09Speaker 3: program here for the Todd Starnes radio show nine to
- 17:12Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. Not sure
- 17:14Speaker 3: if you've seen the video, but ICE agents officially showing
- 17:18Speaker 3: up to airports, especially one in Atlanta, where Democrats losing
- 17:22Speaker 3: their minds that TSA may be replaced.
- 17:26Speaker 8: To national drug traffickers.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Oh that's the wrong one. Hold on here, did I
- 17:30Speaker 2: save it wrong?
- 17:31Speaker 3: I think I saved it wrong. That's okay, Well, uh,
- 17:34Speaker 3: maybe I have one. Oh, Mayor Fry out of Minneapolis.
- 17:38Speaker 3: He's the one that's angry about especially more so than
- 17:40Speaker 3: anybody else, at least vocally upset about the whole ICE
- 17:43Speaker 3: thing because it takes the leverage away from Democrats saying, hey,
- 17:46Speaker 3: why don't you actually just hire more TSA agents, which
- 17:50Speaker 3: is kind of ironic in the situation that we're in.
- 17:52Speaker 2: This is brand new video this morning.
- 17:53Speaker 9: You see them arriving there. The federal officers are at
- 17:56Speaker 9: the airport to help with crowd control after days of
- 17:59Speaker 9: long secure lines and challenge. Who is Britney Cline Peters
- 18:02Speaker 9: live in Hartsfeld Jenks and Atlanta International Airport with the
- 18:04Speaker 9: bird's eye view there of Top Britney. You spoke with
- 18:06Speaker 9: passengers stuck in the long lines below.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Yeah, so these lines don't have you seen these lines?
- 18:11Speaker 4: Man?
- 18:12Speaker 3: They are insane across the country, especially in Atlanta. You
- 18:15Speaker 3: have hours long waits, people showing up apparently at over
- 18:18Speaker 3: one o'clock in the morning, and the lines not only
- 18:21Speaker 3: inside the airport in the terminals going outside.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Now this is again during spring break. This is probably
- 18:27Speaker 2: one of the busier times.
- 18:28Speaker 3: People flying all over the place during the spring break celebration,
- 18:31Speaker 3: which was intended by Democrats to put that pressure on
- 18:34Speaker 3: and punish people as much as possible.
- 18:36Speaker 2: But it if.
- 18:38Speaker 3: That's what they want to do, I don't know that
- 18:39Speaker 3: that necessarily works. To try and get people angry and
- 18:43Speaker 3: then direct the frustration towards President Donald Trump and to
- 18:47Speaker 3: just rub the salt in the wound. Presidents saying, hey,
- 18:50Speaker 3: we're just gonna put ICE agents into the airports become
- 18:53Speaker 3: the TSA workers. So you're stopping all this because you
- 18:56Speaker 3: don't want ice, We're just gonna utilize ice even more.
- 19:00Speaker 3: And remember ICE agents are actually funded for the next
- 19:02Speaker 3: three to four years. So while we have to approve
- 19:06Speaker 3: the official funding, they've already been approved through some of
- 19:09Speaker 3: the other legislation that we've passed already. This is a
- 19:12Speaker 3: ridiculous shutdown. But if we're gonna utilize them, let's utilize
- 19:15Speaker 3: them in places to where we're trying to put the
- 19:18Speaker 3: pressure on the American people taking all the leverage away
- 19:21Speaker 3: from the Democrats. We'll cover some more of that here
- 19:24Speaker 3: in just a minute. I want to get your thoughts
- 19:25Speaker 3: on that. What is the path away? What is the
- 19:29Speaker 3: off ramp for this shenanigans. We'll cover some of that
- 19:31Speaker 3: when we come back around the corner for the Ton
- 19:32Speaker 3: Starnes Radio program.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Stay here.
- 19:45Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back to it Ton Starnes Radio Program. Andy,
- 19:47Speaker 3: Who's you're sitting in for the Monday day today. You
- 19:49Speaker 3: can find more information about Todd on his website Todd
- 19:51Speaker 3: Starns dot com. Find his books, find all his writings,
- 19:54Speaker 3: find all a great information. If you want my information,
- 19:57Speaker 3: would appreciate it if you check me out on my
- 19:58Speaker 3: social media at Who's your Reason and Who's your Reason
- 20:00Speaker 3: dot com.
- 20:01Speaker 2: That's h O O S E R Reason dot com.
- 20:04Speaker 3: So we have the Save actphilibuster, which we have officially
- 20:07Speaker 3: hit a week now of them talking on the floor,
- 20:10Speaker 3: and that's always been the lingering question in the background
- 20:13Speaker 3: is Okay, we're going to do this talking filibuster.
- 20:16Speaker 2: At what point does it change anybody's minds?
- 20:18Speaker 3: Because remember, how often do we really see a change
- 20:21Speaker 3: of mind of the light bulb moment coming on, especially
- 20:24Speaker 3: for a Democrat and be like, oh, oh now I
- 20:27Speaker 3: totally get it, I'm going to vote your way.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Doesn't happen very often.
- 20:31Speaker 3: In fact, it's really the time for everybody gets to
- 20:33Speaker 3: do their grand standing and talk about their issues to
- 20:35Speaker 3: send to the constituents to be like, hey, this is
- 20:37Speaker 3: what I really stand for in Washington, and you know,
- 20:41Speaker 3: vote for me in the upcoming midterm elections. And that's
- 20:43Speaker 3: really what nowadays, unfortunately, what philibusters look like. They're not
- 20:47Speaker 3: even in the room. No one else is in the room.
- 20:49Speaker 3: And I think that needs to change. If we're going
- 20:50Speaker 3: to do philibusters, which had a purpose back in the
- 20:52Speaker 3: day and I think still have a purpose, but.
- 20:55Speaker 2: We need to have everybody there.
- 20:56Speaker 3: And I think it should be in the rules personally
- 20:58Speaker 3: that if you're going to do a philibuster, everybody stays
- 21:01Speaker 3: and everybody listens to everybody, and you have a legitimate
- 21:04Speaker 3: conversation and you have a legitimate debate. Now it's not
- 21:07Speaker 3: a debate, it's just calling each other out when they're
- 21:09Speaker 3: not even there to listen to it. And I think
- 21:10Speaker 3: that's really silly. So first and foremost, we need to
- 21:13Speaker 3: go back to why we're in the position we are today.
- 21:16Speaker 3: In my opinion, i'm sure Todd may feel the same way,
- 21:18Speaker 3: is that we have kind of allowed ourselves as Republicans
- 21:22Speaker 3: to be in the situation that we're in right now.
- 21:25Speaker 2: What do I mean by that?
- 21:26Speaker 3: The many minibus mini omnibus, the appropriations bills that we're
- 21:30Speaker 3: all together in January, Democrats said, hey, we want to
- 21:34Speaker 3: separate Department of Homeland Security funding from the rest of
- 21:37Speaker 3: them to where we can discuss reforms and ICE, and
- 21:39Speaker 3: at that time their reforms and ICE said, well, we're
- 21:42Speaker 3: going to put body cams on ICE agents, and we're
- 21:46Speaker 3: going to I don't know, to get rid of some
- 21:48Speaker 3: detention cells, and we want to change their uniforms and
- 21:51Speaker 3: make sure they can't wear masks. And they had this
- 21:53Speaker 3: whole laundry list of ridiculous things. Now, the first mistake
- 21:57Speaker 3: Republicans made was to be like a sure, yeah, we
- 21:59Speaker 3: can reform that, we'll separate it. Why the heck not,
- 22:01Speaker 3: when we should have just passed it the way it
- 22:03Speaker 3: was period of the story, and that should have been
- 22:05Speaker 3: the shutdown, because if they wanted to put pressure on
- 22:07Speaker 3: people and make people suffer, meaning Democrats, then they could
- 22:11Speaker 3: have done it then and just not pass the other
- 22:14Speaker 3: five or six appropriation bills that it was attached to.
- 22:18Speaker 3: But they wanted to separate it. Now they want to
- 22:20Speaker 3: separate it in even further and they want to say no, no, Okay.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Now we have FEMA that is running dry on funds
- 22:25Speaker 3: and one big flood in the springtime, one large wildfire
- 22:30Speaker 3: which I live in Kansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas. Right now,
- 22:34Speaker 3: we're all dealing with major wildfires at the moment, one
- 22:37Speaker 3: large tornado during severe weather season, and the funds that
- 22:40Speaker 3: FEMA has left poof gone.
- 22:42Speaker 2: There's nothing left.
- 22:44Speaker 3: So we're almost in crisis mode for FEMA when it
- 22:46Speaker 3: comes to responsive emergencies in the nation. At the same time,
- 22:50Speaker 3: we now have terrorist attacks in the nation. We have
- 22:53Speaker 3: spring break with people traveling and TSA workers. It's impacting
- 22:57Speaker 3: everything that's going on in the country. To try to
- 23:00Speaker 3: deal with immigration and customs enforcement when immigration's customs enforcement
- 23:04Speaker 3: is already funded and it's not even in the appropriation Well,
- 23:07Speaker 3: it's in the appropriations bill, but they've already been funded
- 23:09Speaker 3: through other means as well. So what's the next step.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Britt Katie Britt, a Congressoman from the state of Alabama,
- 23:17Speaker 3: which I enjoy her, I think she does a great job,
- 23:19Speaker 3: spoke on Friday last week saying that we really need
- 23:22Speaker 3: to sit down and have a conversation with Democrats to
- 23:24Speaker 3: try and hash this out.
- 23:25Speaker 6: At Ley, it's been forty eight days since we passed
- 23:28Speaker 6: the last CR and yet in that forty eight days,
- 23:30Speaker 6: we haven't had Democrats sit down with us one time. Look,
- 23:33Speaker 6: I know I have colleagues on the other side of
- 23:35Speaker 6: the aisle that want to find a pathway forward, and
- 23:37Speaker 6: what I would encourage them to do is get in
- 23:38Speaker 6: a room with us and actually have that conversation.
- 23:41Speaker 10: Bill.
- 23:41Speaker 6: You can't say you want to rain in ICE but
- 23:43Speaker 6: yet not come to the table to do it. Every
- 23:45Speaker 6: one of my Democratic colleagues know that ICE and CBP
- 23:48Speaker 6: continue to operate. They're just not operating with the guardrails
- 23:52Speaker 6: that they say they want. So I would think if
- 23:55Speaker 6: they were actually being honest about what they want to
- 23:58Speaker 6: see happen, they'd come to the table and talk about that.
- 24:00Speaker 6: I mean, think about this. You have TSA officers and
- 24:03Speaker 6: agents that are going without a paycheck, Democrats that are
- 24:06Speaker 6: grand standing but yet refuse to get in a room
- 24:08Speaker 6: with Republicans. So look, I'm going to continue to work
- 24:11Speaker 6: on that. I feel hopeful that we'll have an opportunity
- 24:14Speaker 6: to sit down with Democrats. And I genuinely believe Bill
- 24:16Speaker 6: that if we sit down with them and start that dialogue,
- 24:19Speaker 6: we'll find a pathway forward. And that's what we owe
- 24:21Speaker 6: to the American people, and it's certainly what we owe
- 24:24Speaker 6: to every single person in DHS that raise their hand
- 24:26Speaker 6: to protect our country.
- 24:27Speaker 3: All Right, So she is optimistic, which makes me happy.
- 24:31Speaker 3: I don't think that's necessarily going to happen. Democrats really
- 24:34Speaker 3: haven't come to the table and sat down to negotiate
- 24:36Speaker 3: it all. But I'm cautiously optimistic, and she seems very
- 24:39Speaker 3: enthusiastic about wanting to sit down and actually have a
- 24:42Speaker 3: conversation that way. But what's the next step because right
- 24:45Speaker 3: now we're kind of at the quagmire. We have a
- 24:47Speaker 3: week long filibuster, we haven't gotten a Holt done, we
- 24:49Speaker 3: have a confirmation hearing, or a vote coming up tomorrow
- 24:53Speaker 3: for Mark Waynemullen, Department of Homely and Security News Secretary,
- 24:57Speaker 3: as Christy nom Media says she was fired. I say
- 24:59Speaker 3: she got an up, great and got a promotion because
- 25:01Speaker 3: now she's dealing with what she was as Homeland Security Secretary,
- 25:05Speaker 3: but now on a hemispherical almost global level, dealing with
- 25:09Speaker 3: the organized crime in the Shield of the Americas, which
- 25:13Speaker 3: she's going to be the one handling a lot of
- 25:15Speaker 3: those issues.
- 25:16Speaker 2: So yeah, she's.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Got some we have some work, and we need to
- 25:19Speaker 3: vote on that filibuster. They're a vote on the confirmation
- 25:22Speaker 3: with Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen coming up tomorrow.
- 25:24Speaker 2: But here's the bistion. Then what.
- 25:27Speaker 3: What is the next step in the process for the
- 25:30Speaker 3: Save Act for Department of Homeland Security When Democrats have
- 25:33Speaker 3: no interest in voting whatsoever, like at all. Well, that's
- 25:38Speaker 3: why we have President Donald Trump, and God blessed Donald Trump,
- 25:41Speaker 3: and God bless some of our Republicans. Not necessarily a
- 25:44Speaker 3: leadership John Dune if he had his way, we wouldn't
- 25:47Speaker 3: even be in the situation because he openly said, well,
- 25:50Speaker 3: we don't have the vote for it. The words it's
- 25:51Speaker 3: going to be a non issue and we're not going
- 25:53Speaker 3: to go anywhere with it. But we had other plans
- 25:56Speaker 3: and we're going to make sure this is an extremely
- 25:58Speaker 3: important tissue with save acts, Donald Trump rubbing that salt
- 26:02Speaker 3: in the wound. Now, with these ICE agents becoming TSA
- 26:05Speaker 3: agents working at the airports for the same agency that
- 26:08Speaker 3: they don't want to fund, we're going to utilize them
- 26:11Speaker 3: more just to anger the Democrats in particular areas, and
- 26:16Speaker 3: we're gonna do it to help relieve the stress and
- 26:18Speaker 3: the pain on the American people. I find that kind
- 26:20Speaker 3: of a went across the board, and I wonder if
- 26:23Speaker 3: that's gonna bring down the Democrats actually sit down at
- 26:26Speaker 3: the table and have that conversation, because their whole point
- 26:29Speaker 3: is let's put pressure in pain on the American people
- 26:32Speaker 3: with the long lines of the TSA. Then people get angry,
- 26:35Speaker 3: and then according to Democrats, we redirect that frustration and
- 26:38Speaker 3: anger towards Donald Trump. That benefits us on the midterm elections.
- 26:42Speaker 3: But if Donald Trump, being the outsided, thinking minded individual,
- 26:46Speaker 3: comes up with an alternative solution, says no, no, we're
- 26:49Speaker 3: gonna use TSA through ICE, and we're really gonna make
- 26:52Speaker 3: Democrats man. But we're gonna relieve the process for you
- 26:55Speaker 3: trying to travel right now, then that real lieves the
- 26:58Speaker 3: steam off the frustration and anger ap peace people, and
- 27:00Speaker 3: then they get happy. And guess what, Donald Trump came
- 27:03Speaker 3: out with that solution. That's number one, because it's all
- 27:06Speaker 3: about political leverage right now right. Number two is and
- 27:09Speaker 3: we hinted out about it earlier in the program. Senator
- 27:12Speaker 3: John Kennedy has come up with a potential option as well,
- 27:15Speaker 3: because even if Democrats refuse to come to the table
- 27:18Speaker 3: and vote for anything with Ice, then we still have
- 27:21Speaker 3: a way to ram it down their throats and tell
- 27:23Speaker 3: them to say thank you for it.
- 27:25Speaker 10: We're talking and we're reasonably coose. Dream weaver, if you
- 27:34Speaker 10: believe that you'll never own your own home, we're not
- 27:37Speaker 10: even on a scale one to ten, we're minus seventeen.
- 27:41Speaker 10: Here's why there is no bill, no compromise involving Ice
- 27:48Speaker 10: that the Democrats will vote for. Why because the Karen
- 27:53Speaker 10: wing of the Democratic Party is in control, and the
- 27:57Speaker 10: Karen wing of the Democratic Party will punish any Democrat
- 28:02Speaker 10: that votes in any way to help bich That's just
- 28:07Speaker 10: a fact, and we need to stop looking reality in
- 28:12Speaker 10: the eye and denying it.
- 28:14Speaker 2: All right. I love how he puts things too.
- 28:16Speaker 3: He puts things in such a different perspective where I
- 28:18Speaker 3: think it makes a lot of people understand what the
- 28:20Speaker 3: heck's really going on. But we have to find the
- 28:24Speaker 3: alternative ways, recognizing that we don't have enough of the
- 28:27Speaker 3: sixty votes, but we can actually get done. And I
- 28:30Speaker 3: tell you what for midterm election, I think one of
- 28:32Speaker 3: the issues that's lingering out there right now, especially with
- 28:35Speaker 3: the polls that show that Democrats are up near six
- 28:37Speaker 3: points for a potential chance to actually win over the
- 28:40Speaker 3: House of Representatives. I think we're going to hold the Senate,
- 28:43Speaker 3: but there's always that possibility. The minority party has always
- 28:45Speaker 3: has some kind of momentum going into a midterm offseason election.
- 28:49Speaker 3: We'll see what that plays out. Republicans, we're a little complacent,
- 28:52Speaker 3: but at the same time, we're very frustrated with the
- 28:54Speaker 3: lack of action from Republican legislators in Congress.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Pair you have a story.
- 28:59Speaker 3: We want to condify the Trump agenda, we want to
- 29:02Speaker 3: codify those three hundred plus executive orders. We want to
- 29:06Speaker 3: downsize government, and we want action. And just like Democrats
- 29:09Speaker 3: where they cram it down our throats left and right,
- 29:11Speaker 3: and there's nothing we can do about it, and we
- 29:13Speaker 3: play the victim. We have to do the same thing.
- 29:15Speaker 3: So what's that solution. Well, Kennedy's got that answer.
- 29:18Speaker 10: Here's what we ought to do, and I've talked to
- 29:21Speaker 10: most of my colleagues about it, including Senator Foon. I
- 29:25Speaker 10: don't speak for them. I would I would accept the
- 29:30Speaker 10: Democrats offer to open up everything except ICE at DHS,
- 29:36Speaker 10: and in the very next day, I would pass a
- 29:40Speaker 10: reconciliation bill which crafts a budget for ICE. We can
- 29:47Speaker 10: do it without any Democratic votes. Certainly, the Democrats are
- 29:51Speaker 10: welcome to join us. We can do it with all
- 29:54Speaker 10: Republican votes. That's how we passed the one big beautiful bill.
- 29:58Speaker 10: We don't need Democrats to do anything with respect Ice.
- 30:03Speaker 10: They think we all to abolish eyes, just like they
- 30:05Speaker 10: want to do abolish police, just like they think that
- 30:09Speaker 10: that kids ought to be able to change genders at recess.
- 30:12Speaker 10: Not all Democrats are that way, Tray, as you know.
- 30:15Speaker 10: But the Karen and wing, the loan wing of the
- 30:18Speaker 10: Democratic Party is calling these shots.
- 30:20Speaker 3: All right, So there we go. We have the option.
- 30:23Speaker 3: I like that option. I think it's a great way
- 30:24Speaker 3: to do it. At first, when he said we should
- 30:26Speaker 3: separate it even more. I was a little hesitant because
- 30:29Speaker 3: I didn't like the fact that we separated DHS funding
- 30:31Speaker 3: from the appropriations process in the first place. But if
- 30:35Speaker 3: that's going to allow us to do a reconciliation bill
- 30:37Speaker 3: that needs a simple majority for the rest of ice,
- 30:39Speaker 3: then why don't we do that. It's about action, it's
- 30:42Speaker 3: not about the grand standing. And I think politically times
- 30:45Speaker 3: have changed. And you can agree or disagree here, but
- 30:48Speaker 3: I think people are tired of just hearing open promises
- 30:51Speaker 3: from politicians. I think that we're tired of just hearing
- 30:54Speaker 3: about the grand standing of what we believe in and
- 30:56Speaker 3: what we're going to do, but they never actually see
- 30:58Speaker 3: the action. We want to see the action, and that's
- 31:00Speaker 3: why we voted for someone like Donald Trump. That's why
- 31:02Speaker 3: we put someone like that in there, where he's not
- 31:05Speaker 3: a guy that just says he's going to do something,
- 31:07Speaker 3: but he's actually doing it. And look at what we've
- 31:09Speaker 3: had for the first year of the Trump administration has
- 31:12Speaker 3: been the most productive year of any presidential administration in
- 31:15Speaker 3: my opinion, in the past century, at least minimum, with
- 31:19Speaker 3: how much he's done. Now, you may not like what
- 31:21Speaker 3: he's done. But the number of items that he's addressed
- 31:24Speaker 3: and worked on have been astounding, which is why while
- 31:27Speaker 3: he mentions that he's talking to Iran, while he says
- 31:30Speaker 3: he's doing these negotiations, what is he doing. He's there
- 31:32Speaker 3: today in Memphis, Tennessee, where our friend Todd Stearns is
- 31:35Speaker 3: and meeting with the President right now talking to them
- 31:37Speaker 3: as he's doing a roundtable about their task force on
- 31:39Speaker 3: the crime that was happening in Memphis, Tennessee. And why
- 31:42Speaker 3: that's such an important issue because he can multitask and
- 31:46Speaker 3: do multiple things and he gets the action done. We
- 31:48Speaker 3: send National Guardsmen to Washington, d C. Boom, we clean
- 31:51Speaker 3: up the streets. We send ice and National guardsmen to Memphis, Boom,
- 31:54Speaker 3: we clean up the streets. We do the same with Detroit,
- 31:56Speaker 3: and we do the same with Chicago, and we do
- 31:58Speaker 3: the same with Well New York. We're trying to but
- 32:00Speaker 3: Zorn Mom Donnie has other plans on that one. But
- 32:03Speaker 3: he's been the guy of action. And Republicans in Congress
- 32:07Speaker 3: while some of them, and I will give them kudos
- 32:09Speaker 3: for that that some of them are people of action
- 32:13Speaker 3: than others are there for the grand standing. No more
- 32:15Speaker 3: grand standing we've done it for a week, We've slowed
- 32:17Speaker 3: things down. Let's use the ICE agents, which takes leverage
- 32:20Speaker 3: away from Democrats and really gets them angry. And then
- 32:24Speaker 3: we go along with them and we use the system
- 32:26Speaker 3: they created against us. We use it against them, which
- 32:30Speaker 3: is the way politics, unfortunately, has to be done in Washington,
- 32:33Speaker 3: d C. I always try to use the analogy of
- 32:35Speaker 3: kids that are playing a board game and you know
- 32:37Speaker 3: that one kid that always likes to change the rules
- 32:39Speaker 3: in the middle of the game to try and benefit
- 32:41Speaker 3: them so they win, and then when they get when
- 32:43Speaker 3: they still lose, they get angry, they overturn the board game.
- 32:45Speaker 3: They're like, I don't want to play anymore. To what
- 32:48Speaker 3: democrats have done, That's the way the legal system has worked,
- 32:51Speaker 3: that's the way the game has been created in Washington,
- 32:53Speaker 3: d C. It's been set up to specifically benefit them,
- 32:56Speaker 3: that they can create funding.
- 32:58Speaker 2: We try to take it away.
- 32:59Speaker 3: Nope, un constitutional, a lot a lot of take that away, Nope,
- 33:02Speaker 3: you can't do that. And then they change the rules
- 33:04Speaker 3: as we go. Well, guess what, we have rules that
- 33:06Speaker 3: we can use for them as well. We can separate
- 33:08Speaker 3: if you want to separate ICE from DHS funding. Let's
- 33:11Speaker 3: do it, and then we'll do a reconciliation bill and
- 33:14Speaker 3: refund them, get them back on track. And then this
- 33:16Speaker 3: entire shutdown, all of the pain, all of the annoyance,
- 33:19Speaker 3: all of the leg all of the TSA thing and
- 33:22Speaker 3: waiting in the airports was all for nothing, just like
- 33:25Speaker 3: it was with the longest government shutdown in American history
- 33:28Speaker 3: back in October November of last year. And then Democrats
- 33:31Speaker 3: will look really silly when they try to put pressure
- 33:34Speaker 3: on you and nothing got done, and nothing got reformed,
- 33:39Speaker 3: and they got nothing of what they actually wanted because
- 33:41Speaker 3: they have to realize they don't have the leverage they
- 33:44Speaker 3: think they do. Nine oh one two six zero five,
- 33:47Speaker 3: nine twenty six.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Is that the way to go? Is that the next
- 33:49Speaker 2: step in this process?
- 33:49Speaker 3: And could we see that by the end of the
- 33:51Speaker 3: day today when the Senate looks to get back to
- 33:53Speaker 3: regular business, confirm Mark Waye Mullen for DHS Secretary tomorrow
- 33:57Speaker 3: and how much of that will go into the negotiations
- 33:59Speaker 3: move forward.
- 34:00Speaker 2: We'll take your phone calls on this morning.
- 34:02Speaker 3: We come back around the corner as we wrap up
- 34:04Speaker 3: our number one of the tot Sterns Radio program. All right,
- 34:14Speaker 3: welcome back to it. It is the top Sterns radio program.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Maybe who's you're sitting in today for a Monday. I
- 34:18Speaker 3: saw some video during the break of more ICE agents, sorry,
- 34:22Speaker 3: federal officers going into the airports across the country, Houston
- 34:25Speaker 3: being the latest one where we saw a trove of
- 34:27Speaker 3: the ICE workers going in to handle some of those issues.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Definitely the triggering from the other side of me. They
- 34:33Speaker 3: are not happy about all this, but again, hey, use
- 34:36Speaker 3: the leverage and it's kind of funny to watch for sure.
- 34:39Speaker 3: All Right, So President Trump has officially started talking at
- 34:42Speaker 3: his Memphis Task Force round table, where our very own
- 34:46Speaker 3: Tot Starns, host of this program is sitting and witnessing
- 34:49Speaker 3: as well.
- 34:49Speaker 2: Dale.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and go live to that for a moment.
- 34:51Speaker 3: Let's see what President Trump's talking about.
- 34:53Speaker 11: Going through a big struggle right now, and we just
- 34:55Speaker 11: put ICE in charge and they're helping TSA agents and
- 35:01Speaker 11: they're working together so far very well. I actually suggested
- 35:05Speaker 11: that in the airports they take off their masks, and
- 35:07Speaker 11: they did that in the airports. I'm a big believer
- 35:11Speaker 11: in the mask because we have you know, Biden allowed
- 35:15Speaker 11: hundreds of thousands of killers into our country. We're rapidly
- 35:19Speaker 11: getting them out by the way, But they would go
- 35:24Speaker 11: after these people if they knew exactly who they were.
- 35:26Speaker 11: But in the airports it's different. I didn't like, I
- 35:29Speaker 11: didn't love to look in the airport as you get
- 35:31Speaker 11: off the plane. So I've made a request and they
- 35:34Speaker 11: agreed to it, so they're not going to be doing that.
- 35:37Speaker 11: We would also bring out if we don't have enough,
- 35:39Speaker 11: we will bring out the National Guard and you know
- 35:41Speaker 11: where we need it to help out at the airports.
- 35:45Speaker 11: But we're not going to let this happen. It's extortion
- 35:48Speaker 11: by the Democrats. They're holding up money that's already been
- 35:51Speaker 11: approved and now they're willing to go five billion dollar
- 35:54Speaker 11: reduction and ice in order to get the approval on
- 35:58Speaker 11: a deal that they approved, the great, big, beautiful deal,
- 36:00Speaker 11: which is the biggest tax cut in history, the biggest
- 36:03Speaker 11: regulation cut in history. They want to basically renegotiate a
- 36:08Speaker 11: deal that they already approved, and they're doing it for
- 36:12Speaker 11: largely for a criminal element. So also, the Democrats are
- 36:16Speaker 11: putting our country at great risk during this period of time,
- 36:21Speaker 11: a period that they call a war. They call it
- 36:23Speaker 11: a war, We call it a military operation. Their leaders
- 36:28Speaker 11: during this time are as you know, as you want
- 36:32Speaker 11: to say, they never never land. Schumer is gone. I mean,
- 36:37Speaker 11: he's a Palestinian, he should be fighting on the side
- 36:39Speaker 11: of Palestine. He's actually become a Palestinian leader.
- 36:44Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 36:44Speaker 11: I've never seen a man change so much. He used
- 36:47Speaker 11: to be pro Israel. Now he's pro Palestine.
- 36:51Speaker 2: For a minute. That is hilarious. We'll go back to
- 36:53Speaker 2: that in a little bit.
- 36:54Speaker 3: But apparently Chuck Schumer, he's a Palestinian now he's all
- 36:57Speaker 3: about the free Palestine and to support the Jewish community.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Now he's supporting free Palestine. But it's great and perfect
- 37:04Speaker 3: timing for that because Donald Trump's right, Democrats have been
- 37:07Speaker 3: extorting you and I if you're trying to travel and
- 37:10Speaker 3: put the pressure on you, make you frustrated, make you angry,
- 37:13Speaker 3: and then for them to try to redirect that anger.
- 37:15Speaker 2: To be like, it's Donald Rump shutting things down.
- 37:17Speaker 3: So what are we doing, ice National guardsmen, We're gonna
- 37:20Speaker 3: go and open things up again and will relieve that pressure.
- 37:23Speaker 3: And that way, the entire shutdown is null and void.
- 37:25Speaker 3: And it doesn't work out for them too well, Yeah,
- 37:27Speaker 3: they're losing their mind. So here's the question, how long
- 37:29Speaker 3: will that last? Donald Trump sounds like he's just toying
- 37:32Speaker 3: with them right now, which is what he does on
- 37:34Speaker 3: many occasions. I Mean, the dude is always four or
- 37:37Speaker 3: five steps ahead of everybody else and it's kind of
- 37:39Speaker 3: entertaining to watch. So will Democrats come to the table
- 37:42Speaker 3: now and will they actually fund ICE with that funding
- 37:45Speaker 3: already being appropriated to them for the next few years
- 37:48Speaker 3: and open up DHS again to help out with this madness?
- 37:55Speaker 3: Lots more to get to. It is a Monday. It
- 37:56Speaker 3: is the Toncerns Radio program. Andy, who's your sitting in
- 37:59Speaker 3: for you today? Stay here.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 38:25Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd starsus.
- 38:33Speaker 2: This American?
- 38:38Speaker 7: What is up?
- 38:39Speaker 2: America?
- 38:39Speaker 3: Welcome into it. It is the Todd Starns Radio program.
- 38:43Speaker 3: Todd is out today, not behind the microphone, but that
- 38:46Speaker 3: is okay. We have it covered for you today, sitting
- 38:48Speaker 3: in the Liberty University studios. Moving those out from Memphis, Tennessee,
- 38:51Speaker 3: out to wich of to Kansas where I'm flagshipped out
- 38:54Speaker 3: of with my flagship KQA. I'm in a great affiliate
- 38:56Speaker 3: of the Todd Starns Radio program. Great to have you
- 38:58Speaker 3: here and welcome from Monday kicking things off. It has
- 39:01Speaker 3: been a wild weekend for sure as usual, and Todd
- 39:04Speaker 3: out and about. He'll be back tomorrow and he's gonna
- 39:07Speaker 3: have some starrees to tell I tell you what. He
- 39:09Speaker 3: is still in Memphis, where his flagship is and as
- 39:13Speaker 3: President Trump is speaking, which we may go to live
- 39:15Speaker 3: here in just a moment if we get a chance.
- 39:17Speaker 3: But President Trump in Memphis, Tennessee today, as he is
- 39:21Speaker 3: at the Safe Task Force round table, as you know,
- 39:24Speaker 3: and Todd's talked about it quite a bit, sending the
- 39:27Speaker 3: task Force, the National Guard and law enforcement agents into Memphis,
- 39:30Speaker 3: cleaning up the streets and the crime that has been
- 39:32Speaker 3: running rampant in that area for a while. And we're
- 39:35Speaker 3: getting an update on what that looks like. So President
- 39:37Speaker 3: Trump is speaking, he just started a little while ago.
- 39:40Speaker 3: We may go live to that here in just a minute.
- 39:42Speaker 3: But what does that look like in all the other
- 39:44Speaker 3: shenanigans at a rich Joe Biden would say, the malarkey
- 39:47Speaker 3: going on in society nine oh one two six zero
- 39:49Speaker 3: five nine two six nine oh one two six zero
- 39:52Speaker 3: five nine two six is the studio line number if
- 39:54Speaker 3: you want to tune in and let us know what's
- 39:56Speaker 3: on your mind. There's plenty to talk about. We still
- 39:58Speaker 3: have the filibuster and we talked a bit about it
- 40:00Speaker 3: last hour, the ongoing filibuster for the Save Acts. Hopefully
- 40:04Speaker 3: it sounds like we may have a game plan to
- 40:06Speaker 3: wrap that up and get ready for the confirmation vote
- 40:10Speaker 3: of Mark Wwayne Mullen for DHS Secretary tomorrow on Tuesday.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Also with DHS funding in general and the Save Acts
- 40:18Speaker 3: and so much more, but other big news happening as
- 40:21Speaker 3: well with over the weekend. Now it sounds like we
- 40:23Speaker 3: are and I'm I'm curious. I'm cautiously optimistic, but at
- 40:28Speaker 3: the same time, I don't know exactly what we're doing. Obviously,
- 40:31Speaker 3: I don't have the intel that President Donald Trump, that
- 40:34Speaker 3: Secretary Pete Hegseth has with the Department of War. But
- 40:38Speaker 3: apparently we are stopping some of the bombings for about
- 40:41Speaker 3: five days in giving Iran a chance to talk. Now,
- 40:45Speaker 3: I ran the lying liars pants on fire. Those guys
- 40:48Speaker 3: continue to lie about everything, and I don't know why
- 40:50Speaker 3: we would trust them, because talks have never done anything
- 40:53Speaker 3: for them and never been productive.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Like at all.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Ever, every time they say oh yeah, it ends up
- 41:00Speaker 3: not happening, and it continued to taunt us. They continue
- 41:03Speaker 3: to taunt Israel, they continue to you know, throw their
- 41:05Speaker 3: little missiles out everywhere. But there has been some progression
- 41:08Speaker 3: on apparently conversation according to President Donald Trump. And we've
- 41:12Speaker 3: also learned a heck of a lot more about Iran
- 41:14Speaker 3: that we had hinted or rumored or thought about but
- 41:17Speaker 3: didn't know it was actually happening. For example, long range
- 41:22Speaker 3: missiles getting deep into Europe, which according to Iran they
- 41:26Speaker 3: said that they do not have. We we were concerned
- 41:30Speaker 3: that they possibly did have, and now we know that
- 41:33Speaker 3: that actually to.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Be the case.
- 41:34Speaker 3: At the same time, they've still got on the rampage
- 41:36Speaker 3: of trying to send missiles into Israel and other places.
- 41:39Speaker 3: So what is the long term goal of Iran? You
- 41:42Speaker 3: still support the movement? President Donald Trump said, guy is
- 41:46Speaker 3: timeline that he was hoping for for this movement was
- 41:48Speaker 3: four to six weeks. We are now into week number four,
- 41:51Speaker 3: I believe, so we are close to that timeline. And
- 41:54Speaker 3: Donald Trump saying that apparently he's planning on actually wrapping
- 41:57Speaker 3: up some of those operations. Is that really the best
- 42:00Speaker 3: time to really do that. This was Donald Trump earlier
- 42:02Speaker 3: this morning at the airport by the way, getting onto
- 42:05Speaker 3: Air Force One, getting ready to head to Memphis, Tennessee.
- 42:08Speaker 11: Know the discussions took place yesterday, They went into yesterday evening.
- 42:14Speaker 2: They want very much to make a deal.
- 42:16Speaker 4: We'd like to make a deal too.
- 42:18Speaker 11: We're going to get together today by probably phone, because
- 42:24Speaker 11: it's very hard to.
- 42:26Speaker 4: Find your country.
- 42:26Speaker 11: It's very hard for them to get out, I guess.
- 42:29Speaker 11: But well, at some point very soon meet We're doing
- 42:33Speaker 11: a five day baard and we'll see how that goes.
- 42:36Speaker 4: And then it goes well.
- 42:37Speaker 11: We're gonna end up with settling this. Otherwise we just
- 42:40Speaker 11: keep bombing our little hard.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Keep bombing our little hearts out. That is where President
- 42:46Speaker 3: Trump's mind is. Hey, we'll have the conversation, we'll see
- 42:48Speaker 3: how it goes, and if not, we'll just continue on
- 42:49Speaker 3: doing what we're doing. Where he has focused, by the way,
- 42:51Speaker 3: on wanting to attack some of the energy facilities there
- 42:54Speaker 3: in the nation of Iran. Let's talk about some of
- 42:56Speaker 3: this and more with our next guest on the program.
- 42:57Speaker 3: As we go to our Patriot mobile, newsmaker hote I
- 43:00Speaker 3: have been laughing at the mainstream media. And I want
- 43:03Speaker 3: to say it was MS now the New MSNBC or CNN,
- 43:07Speaker 3: one of the two that said that criticizing the Ayatola,
- 43:11Speaker 3: criticizing the leadership of Iran, the radical Islamists that want
- 43:15Speaker 3: to kill Americans, that want to kill Israel, that want
- 43:18Speaker 3: to kill Jews, those guys that we're still somehow wanting
- 43:21Speaker 3: to have a conversation with that by criticizing them, in
- 43:25Speaker 3: calling them the animals that they are, is apparently racist.
- 43:28Speaker 3: It's racist to try and call them the animals by
- 43:32Speaker 3: acting and treating others like animals, which is kind of insane.
- 43:35Speaker 3: And that continues with the ongoing movement that we've seen
- 43:38Speaker 3: of the anti Semitism in the nation. And that's where
- 43:40Speaker 3: I want to talk with our next guest on the program,
- 43:42Speaker 3: as he's a director of the Christian Outreach and Engagement
- 43:44Speaker 3: for the Combat Anti Semitism movement.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Happy to have on here at EJ. Kimballj is he on?
- 43:51Speaker 2: We good?
- 43:52Speaker 3: Oh, Todd's on. Oh, We're gonna go to all right,
- 43:54Speaker 3: We'll go to EJ in here a minute. The man himself,
- 43:56Speaker 3: Todd Starnes, is on the program. What's going on? Todd
- 44:01Speaker 3: do we have Todd. Okay, he's working on it, all right,
- 44:05Speaker 3: We're working on the connection there. So Todd, as you know,
- 44:08Speaker 3: and as we've been talking about, is there in Memphis.
- 44:10Speaker 3: But he's been with the roundtable with President Donald Trump
- 44:13Speaker 3: for the Memphis Safe Task Force and he is giving
- 44:16Speaker 3: an update. We were hoping that that would happen after
- 44:19Speaker 3: his meeting or as he gets ready to meet with
- 44:21Speaker 3: President Donald J. Trump there and cleaning up the streets
- 44:24Speaker 3: of Memphis. So we're working on a connection. Let me
- 44:26Speaker 3: know when he's on and we'll get him there. But
- 44:28Speaker 3: I ask you the question nine oh one two six
- 44:30Speaker 3: zero five nine two six nine oh one two six
- 44:32Speaker 3: zero fifty nine twenty six, what does the future of
- 44:34Speaker 3: the movement with Iran actually look like? And do you
- 44:37Speaker 3: trust a word they say? Now, as Donald Trump says
- 44:40Speaker 3: we have a conversation with Iran, the Iranians turn around
- 44:44Speaker 3: and say, no, no, we haven't talked to Donald Trump at all,
- 44:46Speaker 3: which again lying liars pants on fire. I don't know
- 44:49Speaker 3: why we would have a conversation with them. Talking has
- 44:52Speaker 3: never ever worked there at all. But we'll get back
- 44:55Speaker 3: to that in a minute. But host of the Todd
- 44:57Speaker 3: Sarnes Radio program, calling in giving us an update with
- 45:00Speaker 3: the roundtable happening with President Donald J. Trump is tied himself, Todd,
- 45:04Speaker 3: what's going on, man?
- 45:05Speaker 2: How are you?
- 45:06Speaker 12: Andy? Great and greetings from the Tennessee National Guard Air hangar,
- 45:13Speaker 12: which about fifteen hundred National Guard troops and a lot
- 45:17Speaker 12: of politicians are here for the roundtable discussion just got finished.
- 45:23Speaker 12: The President can probably here in the background, is leading
- 45:26Speaker 12: this roundtable. But really this is a celebration of the
- 45:30Speaker 12: success of his Memphis State Task Force. Crime is down
- 45:34Speaker 12: over fifty percent in Memphis, and the President now launching
- 45:39Speaker 12: a make America Safe Again national campaign and he's doing
- 45:44Speaker 12: that from here here in Memphis. Now, Andy, just before
- 45:49Speaker 12: the President hopped up on the stage, I got to
- 45:51Speaker 12: spend a few minutes backstage with him and he is
- 45:54Speaker 12: in great spirits. And of course it was on this
- 45:57Speaker 12: very radio program as it announced he was going to
- 46:01Speaker 12: look at sending the National Guard to Memphis, and the
- 46:04Speaker 12: President is certainly delivered on that promise. Also had a
- 46:07Speaker 12: chance to spend a lot of time with Attorney General
- 46:09Speaker 12: cam Bonji, who is here as well, of the War
- 46:12Speaker 12: Secretary p Textet Stephen Miller, and of course Cash the
- 46:16Speaker 12: telby FBI director. So we have a lot of heavy
- 46:19Speaker 12: hitters here today.
- 46:20Speaker 3: And Memphis, Memphis being the the central zone, the focal
- 46:24Speaker 3: point for Trump right now, which is great were we
- 46:26Speaker 3: went live to his speech just a little while ago
- 46:29Speaker 3: and he was talking about some of the great successes
- 46:31Speaker 3: that he's seen so far now for Memphis himself. That is,
- 46:34Speaker 3: he hinted on how much longer this task force is
- 46:36Speaker 3: going to be in the area.
- 46:38Speaker 12: Yeah, indefinitely, which is actually good used for the citizens
- 46:42Speaker 12: here because everybody at Memphis, I mean overwhelmingly the people
- 46:46Speaker 12: here are so supportive. I know there was some sort
- 46:49Speaker 12: of a counter protest that only drew about two dozen people,
- 46:53Speaker 12: so I think put in large Andy, most people here,
- 46:57Speaker 12: black and white, understand, you know, the how dangerous our
- 47:00Speaker 12: city had become, and it's been a great thing. But
- 47:03Speaker 12: I got to tell you the person who has who
- 47:06Speaker 12: is probably the bigger celebrity, Jerry the King Lawler, the
- 47:10Speaker 12: Great Wrestler.
- 47:11Speaker 4: Is here.
- 47:13Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. Man.
- 47:15Speaker 3: You guys are rocking it out there for that one, Todd,
- 47:18Speaker 3: and I was going to ask you that because you
- 47:19Speaker 3: mentioned it. The reception of people in Memphis, it's gotten
- 47:23Speaker 3: so bad, and you've talked about it so much on
- 47:24Speaker 3: the program about how bad Memphis had been with crime
- 47:28Speaker 3: and just letting things run rampant, the lack of the
- 47:31Speaker 3: response from law enforcement in that area. What's been the
- 47:34Speaker 3: reception from different communities around the area. Are they happy
- 47:37Speaker 3: to see Donald Trump show back up again?
- 47:39Speaker 12: Incredibly so. As a matter of fact, there were a
- 47:42Speaker 12: lot of people that were standing on street corners across
- 47:45Speaker 12: Memphis holding signs welcoming the presidents of the city. Of course,
- 47:49Speaker 12: the president is really just hopping in doing the event
- 47:52Speaker 12: here and then hopping right. You know, literally Air Force
- 47:55Speaker 12: one has parked rat outside, so the President is heading
- 47:58Speaker 12: back to Washington. But you know, this is a big
- 48:02Speaker 12: deal for Memphis and again one of the deadliest city
- 48:06Speaker 12: and most dangerous city in America now one of the
- 48:08Speaker 12: safest and less than a year. That really says something
- 48:11Speaker 12: about the president.
- 48:13Speaker 2: So what it's about. I love it, Todd.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Last question for you, because I know it sounds like
- 48:16Speaker 3: it's a chaotic time back there, But talk about some
- 48:19Speaker 3: of the conversation you guys had behind the scenes, had
- 48:21Speaker 3: the indication on some of the other issues he had
- 48:23Speaker 3: talked about with the operation and I ran and some
- 48:26Speaker 3: of the other plans around. Did he give you any
- 48:28Speaker 3: indication of what we could see moving forward?
- 48:31Speaker 12: Well, it was about a ninety second conversation, so we
- 48:33Speaker 12: didn't have a lot, but I did. I did thank
- 48:36Speaker 12: him for what he did for Memphis. The President told
- 48:39Speaker 12: a story and I'll tell it tomorrow on the show
- 48:41Speaker 12: about Fred Smith, the late founder of FEDEC, and then
- 48:45Speaker 12: Pan BONDI and I actually sat down for about five
- 48:47Speaker 12: or ten minutes for a great conversation. We'll share some
- 48:50Speaker 12: of that tomorrow on the show as well.
- 48:52Speaker 2: We cannot wait for it. I love it.

- 51:21Speaker 3: of President Donald Trump. They're in Memphis talking about a
- 51:23Speaker 3: lot of different issues, essentially giving an update on everything
- 51:26Speaker 3: he's working on.
- 51:27Speaker 2: Let's see what he's saying right now.
- 51:29Speaker 11: Oh you a special guy, and I've lived with him
- 51:32Speaker 11: because of Washington, DC. I saw what he did. But
- 51:35Speaker 11: to say a few words and congratulations for what you've
- 51:38Speaker 11: done everywhere. But today we're only interested in one place, Memphis, Tennessee.
- 51:42Speaker 11: Thank you very much, Gaddy, Thank you, Miss President, thank
- 51:46Speaker 11: you very much.
- 51:50Speaker 13: So good morning to you, and thank you, mister President.
- 51:53Speaker 13: Today we celebrate the successes of this incredible mission in
- 51:58Speaker 13: all our federal, state, local, and National Guard teammates who
- 52:04Speaker 13: have contributed mightily to the Memphis Safe Task Force. Mister President,
- 52:10Speaker 13: it is an honor to be entrusted by you to
- 52:13Speaker 13: lead this amazing task force as director of the United
- 52:16Speaker 13: States Marshall Service, your decisiveness in responding to state and
- 52:21Speaker 13: local leaders requests for federal assistance is inspiring. It was
- 52:27Speaker 13: just over six months ago when you signed the executive
- 52:31Speaker 13: Order restoring law and order in Memphis. At that point,
- 52:36Speaker 13: the city of Memphis was overwhelmed with unpresidented levels of
- 52:41Speaker 13: violent crime, to include some of the nation's highest per
- 52:44Speaker 13: capita rates of murder, robbery, and aggravator assaults. Memphis residents
- 52:51Speaker 13: could not safely enjoy a walk downtown. Parents were fearful
- 52:56Speaker 13: of their children playing outside, and local businesses struggled to prosper.
- 53:06Speaker 13: The mission you gave us was clear and concise. Crime
- 53:11Speaker 13: will not prevail in Memphis, period.
- 53:15Speaker 3: All right, So let's go ahead and let's put that
- 53:17Speaker 3: down for just a moment here, let's break some of
- 53:18Speaker 3: this down. I love the timing on this because as
- 53:21Speaker 3: we go through DHS funding crises in Washington, d C.
- 53:26Speaker 3: And the crime that we've seen around the country, the
- 53:29Speaker 3: organized crime, the gang members, the illegal migrants, everything else
- 53:32Speaker 3: that's been battling right now the Democrats are trying to stop.
- 53:35Speaker 3: This is such perfect timing. This is why the genius
- 53:37Speaker 3: that Donald Trump is And whether it was planned this
- 53:39Speaker 3: way or it was kind of a last minute opportunity,
- 53:42Speaker 3: never let a crisis go to waste. Kind of the
- 53:45Speaker 3: perfect timing on an issue like this when right now
- 53:48Speaker 3: we've had what three or four terrorist attacks, We've seen
- 53:51Speaker 3: these streets and Memphis streets in Washington, d C. And
- 53:53Speaker 3: other areas actually get better around the country because of
- 53:56Speaker 3: our National Guard, because of these tasks force focus on
- 54:00Speaker 3: safety of Americans. There's no reason why someone should be
- 54:03Speaker 3: able to walk down the street and have a concern
- 54:06Speaker 3: of what was termed in some fashion. That's what Donald
- 54:09Speaker 3: Trump was focused on in America First Agenda, and Democrats
- 54:12Speaker 3: have stopped that with their DHS funding, and that's kind
- 54:17Speaker 3: of weird. Even Hakeem Jeffries this past week or was
- 54:19Speaker 3: it on Friday, with this ongoing filibuster in the Senate
- 54:22Speaker 3: and DHS funding and ICE in the House, he's not
- 54:26Speaker 3: very happy with the way things are right now.
- 54:27Speaker 14: Democrats launched a discharge petition to force an up and
- 54:31Speaker 14: down vote to make sure that we are paying TSA agents,
- 54:38Speaker 14: paying the Coastguard, supporting FEMA, and supporting the cybersecurity professionals
- 54:45Speaker 14: who are working hard to keep us safe.
- 54:48Speaker 2: There is no reason why the.
- 54:51Speaker 14: Parts of the Department of Homeland Security that have been
- 54:53Speaker 14: shut down by Republicans several weeks ago remain shutter, or
- 55:01Speaker 14: that individuals like TSA agents have been forced for more
- 55:06Speaker 14: than a month to work without pay. Republicans have consistently
- 55:12Speaker 14: refused at this point in time to enact the type
- 55:17Speaker 14: of bold, meaningful, and dramatic changes to ICE that are
- 55:21Speaker 14: necessary to get ICE under control.
- 55:23Speaker 3: So yeah, that's they're still hanging out of this clinging
- 55:26Speaker 3: on desperately to this deal, digging their heels in the sand.
- 55:29Speaker 3: We'll see how far in how long that actually goes.
- 55:31Speaker 3: I don't see that working out too well for them,
- 55:33Speaker 3: especially with the new plan now, I've number one putting
- 55:35Speaker 3: ICE at airports to help out with TSA and to
- 55:38Speaker 3: try and potentially break up ICE funding from the rest
- 55:41Speaker 3: of DHS, which Democrats have called for.
- 55:43Speaker 2: We'll see if they even vote for that. That would
- 55:45Speaker 2: be interesting.
- 55:45Speaker 3: And then for us to use Reconciliation Bill, like John
- 55:47Speaker 3: Kennedy said, in actually funding the rest of ICE and
- 55:50Speaker 3: making them completely irrelevant and null and void. But while
- 55:54Speaker 3: Donald Trump is making America safe again and the Republicans
- 55:57Speaker 3: are trying to make America safe again, the Democrats have
- 56:00Speaker 3: used their political leverage to try and make us unsafe
- 56:04Speaker 3: because they think that's somehow a type of political leverage
- 56:07Speaker 3: that they have during the election season and the campaigns.
- 56:10Speaker 3: It's not gonna work well for them. Have they not
- 56:13Speaker 3: learned their lesson? I know that sometimes we're kind of
- 56:15Speaker 3: slow learners, and that they do whatever they can to
- 56:18Speaker 3: abuse the American people. Never let a crisis go to waste.
- 56:22Speaker 3: But I don't know how well that's going.
- 56:23Speaker 2: To faire out for them.
- 56:24Speaker 3: It really depends on if you're happy with the way
- 56:26Speaker 3: things aren't showing up to vote. I can imagine you
- 56:29Speaker 3: there in Memphis, You're probably going to be showing up
- 56:31Speaker 3: to vote for Republicans. After the year's progress we've made
- 56:35Speaker 3: in cleaning up streets. Got to take a break, as
- 56:36Speaker 3: Todd Starns radio programs to hear. All right, welcome back
- 56:54Speaker 3: to it, Todd Sterns radio program. Maybe who you're setting
- 56:56Speaker 3: in for the great Todd Starns ac He is out
- 56:57Speaker 3: and about it. That roundtable with president roundtable and that's
- 57:01Speaker 3: I think that's what they're calling it.
- 57:02Speaker 2: But it looks more like a rally. It's at a
- 57:04Speaker 2: big venue.
- 57:05Speaker 3: I saw the picture, and you can go to Tod
- 57:06Speaker 3: Starn's social media and a website and you can see
- 57:09Speaker 3: the picture that Todd posted. It looks like a rally.
- 57:11Speaker 3: It's got a table up there where the heads are talking,
- 57:14Speaker 3: but then it's just got a big open area for people.
- 57:17Speaker 3: It looks like a nice rally that he's doing. Slash
- 57:20Speaker 3: round table talking about all the great wins to keep
- 57:23Speaker 3: the streets safe and Memphis pretty cool. We'll go back
- 57:25Speaker 3: to that live here in just a little bit. There
- 57:27Speaker 3: is some big news that's happening that broke today that
- 57:30Speaker 3: is going to make some other side of the aisle
- 57:32Speaker 3: people not very happy. It's gonna trigger the heck out
- 57:35Speaker 3: of them. Columbus Day, Christopher Columbus, which has always been
- 57:39Speaker 3: a controversial the thing here in the nation because of
- 57:41Speaker 3: course it's about Indigenous People's Day, which I find ironic.
- 57:45Speaker 3: President Donald Trump now has officially put a Christopher Columbus
- 57:50Speaker 3: statue on the White House grounds. I'm sorry, this is
- 57:56Speaker 3: it's the ultimate dig, it's the ultimate troll. He has
- 57:59Speaker 3: put it officially at the Eisenhower Executive Office building there
- 58:03Speaker 3: on the White House grounds.
- 58:04Speaker 2: It is a reconstruction.
- 58:06Speaker 3: This, according to Fox, a reconstruction of the monument that
- 58:08Speaker 3: was first unveiled by President Ronald Reagan in Baltimore back
- 58:11Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty four. The original was torn down and
- 58:14Speaker 3: dumped into the Baltimore Harbor during a Black Lives Matter
- 58:17Speaker 3: riot in twenty twenty. The plaque is based on the
- 58:21Speaker 3: rebuilt statue, references both events, and it states that the
- 58:24Speaker 3: monument was quote destroyed July fourth of twenty twenty and
- 58:28Speaker 3: later restored. The statue was gifted to the White House
- 58:31Speaker 3: and formally rededicated by President Trump. So a hi major
- 58:35Speaker 3: statue of Christopher Columbus that is there on the White
- 58:39Speaker 3: House lawns now Christopher Columbus Day in October, right near
- 58:43Speaker 3: my birthday actually, which is the only reason why I
- 58:44Speaker 3: remember that one. And of course the rebranding of it
- 58:48Speaker 3: to Indigenous People's Day has been the move by the
- 58:50Speaker 3: progressives because if it's from up, it's probably bad and
- 58:54Speaker 3: racist and white and horrible. And I've been reading some
- 58:57Speaker 3: of the comments on social media about this. Boy, are
- 59:00Speaker 3: they losing their minds about how he, you know, enslaved
- 59:04Speaker 3: the populations and eradicated populations, and how horrible of a
- 59:08Speaker 3: human being he was. Now, let's be fair, and I'll
- 59:11Speaker 3: also get President Donald Trump major props on this. That
- 59:14Speaker 3: Christopher Columbus was not the first European to actually discover
- 59:18Speaker 3: quote unquote the Americas. In fact, it was the Vikings
- 59:21Speaker 3: even way before that, when they worked their way from
- 59:23Speaker 3: Greenland to Iceland over to Canada and then work their
- 59:26Speaker 3: way down that way. So they were the first ones.
- 59:28Speaker 3: And we found that out recently as well through the
- 59:30Speaker 3: archaeological digs. But it's still a monumental feet to not
- 59:33Speaker 3: go through the short times up north, but to just
- 59:36Speaker 3: sail across that big old body of water and then land.
- 59:39Speaker 3: As for the hold, he's evil and horrible, and we
- 59:42Speaker 3: just need to celebrate the indigenous peoples. He also landed
- 59:45Speaker 3: in Central America where they encountered people like, oh, I
- 59:49Speaker 3: don't know, the Aztecs who used to enslave other tribes
- 59:53Speaker 3: and cut their hearts out as sacrifices to the gods.
- 59:56Speaker 3: So the fact that he's the only terrible one, I
- 59:58Speaker 3: kind of laugh at it. And they to pick up
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: their history on what the indigenous people did as well.
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: But the digs from Donald Trump continue to be epic.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: The trolling is top tier. And I applaud him for
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: that Christopher Columbus statue now sitting on the White House yard,
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: and I think that's kind of hilarious, all right, nine
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. I just
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: saw that scrolling through major breaking news that's going to
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: just trigger the other side, which you know what, it's
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: our entertainment value. If you don't take politics a little
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: bit less serious, then it's actually kind of entertaining to watch.
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: And I'm not saying don't think.
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: About it as a serious thing that affects you, because
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: it absolutely does. But you gotta kind of loosen up
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: a little bit or else you're gonna pull out your
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: hair with how insane the world it actually is. I
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: want to go back to just a moment for the
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: Iranian Conversation, and I ask you the question at nine
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine twenty six. There's been
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: a push for anti Semitism in society in a very
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: strange way. And we're gonna get to our other guest,
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: DJ Kimball on the program later on and get that rescheduled,
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: but we are there's a push that really tries to
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: downplay Israel in the sense that apparently they control the
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: United States. And is this a legitimate concern for those
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: that did not want to get involved in Iran in
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: the first place, or is it the latest angle that
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: we've tried to see coming from an anti Semitic push
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: when Benjamin and Yahoo in Israel controlling everything the United
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: States does and controlling Donald Trump. I will say, if
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: anybody doesn't control Donald Trump, it's especially Israel, because Donald
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: Trump doesn't really be held to anybody. But at the
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: same time, I think it's pretty clear that what we're seeing.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: Donald Trump sent out a tweet on Sunday that said,
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: let me bring it up here again, that said that
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: apparently we're pausing these conflicts that are the at least
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: bombings with Iran right now when we have this conversation.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: I don't know whether we that's a good thing or not.
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: Iran lies. I don't know if we trust him, but
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: he says, I'm pleased to report that the United States
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: of America in the country of Iran have had over
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: the past two days very good and productive conversations regarding
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: Middle East, based on the tenure in tone oops if
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: the ADS want to go away here in depth, detailed
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: and constructive conversations which will continue throughout the week. I
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: for a five day period, subject to the success of
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: the ongoing meetings and discussions. Thank you for your attention
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: to this matter. I'm hesitant. I guess the question we
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: have to ask ourselves is what was the main goal
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: and objective of getting involved in Iran? I know it
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: was to make sure that they don't have a nuclear weapon.
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: I know it was to make sure they do not
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: have any intercontinental ballistic missiles, which now we found out
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: that they do because they were able to shoot some
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: successfully into the heart of Europe. So they're working their
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: way closer to us and trying to flex their muscle
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: a little bit. So they have things that they told
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: us they did not have, and that some said that
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: was crazy for us to even consider that they had
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: at all, but they've kind of kept it as their
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: ace up their even now they're starting to expose that
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: because we can smell the desperation coming from the Nation
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: of Iran. But it's I thought at least, and I
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: could be wrong here, so correct me. I thought one
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: of the goals of this operation was to get rid
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: of the regime in total and give it back to
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: the people. Because remember, the Nation of Iran is not
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: a Muslim majority nation. The Nation of Iran has a
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: long history and in fact, they are one of the
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: most instrumental regions in the world when it comes to
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: history of humans and history of theology and history of religion.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: In fact, the vast majority of the monotheistic religions out there, Christianity, Judaism,
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: and the in Islam, which are the Abrahamic laws originally
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: stemmed with the original ideas with a you may not
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: know this, with a religion known as Zoroastrianism that stemmed
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: out of Iran, and then they were Persian and Arabian
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: and Aryan.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: They're not a Muslim nation.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: And I'm ready for the Persians, the original people of Iran,
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: to take their country back, which is why they were
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: celebrating when we started the bombing in Iran, because we
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: were finally had enough with this radicalism of the radical
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: Islamists in this nation. And that hasn't changed. We've gone
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: down their ranks to topple them a little bit, but
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: it hasn't changed. It's still the same regime, just further
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: down the ranks to where they pretend to play nice with.
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: The United States.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: So I thought that that was one of the reasons
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: why we were there in the first place, was to
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: say this entire regime, the entire Isleatola, this entire movement
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: is all going away, and that the people of Iran,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: the Persians, can come back and get rid of this
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: radical Islamis regime and run things themselves, and we're not
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: to that point yet. And I want to be very
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: clear with that statement, because I am not one that
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: wants the military industrial complex. I am not one that
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: wants a long term war. I'm not one that wants
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: to see this go on for the next twenty years.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: As a millennial and a guy that's thirty seven, we've
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: had the long history of what happened in the Middle
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: East with Iraq and with Afghanistan, and the Bush administration
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: and the Obama administration and the Biden administration with their
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: ridiculous pulling out of Afghanistan as well, that we're we
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: kind of have a bad taste and we have a
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: little bit of PTSD on exactly what foreign wars, especially
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: in the Middle East, to actually look like, and we
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: do not want that. And I applaud the Trump administration
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: and Pete Hegseth and the others that have been very
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: clear on what the timeline looks like, what our goals
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: have been and reiterating that that is not what this
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: plan is. And I've trusted them and I believe them
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: because even someone like Tulci Gabbard, if you remember Tulci
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: Gabbard came on board as a Republican in support of
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: Donald Trump in this administration to now become the Director
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: of National Intelligence. Because he was not a warmonger from
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: either side. He was changing the Republican party. And she
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: openly admitted that when she de registered as a Democrat,
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: she registered as a Republican and endorsed someone like Donald Trump,
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: which was kind of a shock at all moment for us.
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember that time. That was
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: a bit of a surprise when she said Donald Trump's
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: not a warmonger. She's a member of the National Guard
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: down in Hawaii and said, we don't want long term conflicts.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: He's not beholden to the military industrial complex, unlike Hillary
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: Clinton and the others. I'm dropping out as a Democrat
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: and endorsing Donald Trump. That was a bombshell. And then
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: we saw last week the statements that she did in
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: a congressional hearing and a social media post that has
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: not condemned this operation in Iran that openly said, as
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: one who's looking at this intelligence and working hand in
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: hand with the Trump administration, we have this intel, and
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: he deemed it to be a big enough threat to
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: where we needed to get involved and we do not
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: want to send US troops to the nation of Iran,
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: but we will bomb them enough to cripple them to
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: allow the people to actually take back their country. And
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: when someone like Tolcy Gabbard says that to me, it
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: kind of validates our concerns of what we've had and
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: makes us feel better that even if she's on board,
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: then everything's going to be okay. So I don't want
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: us to be in a long term conflict. At the
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: same time, are we quite really ready to be done?
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: And have we really accomplished what we set out to
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: do now? Benjamin Netanyaho, which, by the way, did you
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: know apparently there's been that trend that he was dead
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: and that there was a couple of weird AI videos
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: that floated out there from the Israeli pages on social
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: media of him in a coffee shop and it wasn't
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: really him and it looked like the coffee wasn't moving
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: and he maybe had like six fingers. There was a
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: rumor that he was dead, which he's not, because he
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: just made a public statement and he was in the
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: public just recently, just over the weekend, advocating four troops
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: on the ground, But that really resonates with two points right.
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: Number one, I think that Iran was looking for ways
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: to try and go after net Yahoo, which is why
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: they leak some fake videos of where he might be
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: in order to try and take them off the trail.
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: But number two, this should be an indication that Donald
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: Trump is not beholden to Israel. When Donald Trump sends
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: out a tweet saying We're going to cease operations for
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: five days and allow them to open up the ports
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: and allow them to start negotiating with us and to
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: admit their defeat, while we have Net Nyahuo out there
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: that's advocating for us to put hoots on the ground
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: and actually do more.
- 1:08:01Speaker 15: If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world,
- 1:08:04Speaker 15: the last forty eight hours have given it. In the
- 1:08:07Speaker 15: last forty eight hours, Iran targeted a civilian area. They're
- 1:08:12Speaker 15: doing that as a mass murder weapon. Luckily no one
- 1:08:16Speaker 15: was killed, but that's due to luck, not their intention.
- 1:08:20Speaker 15: Their intention is to murder civilians. Second they are using
- 1:08:25Speaker 15: They fired on Jerusalem, right next to the holy sites
- 1:08:29Speaker 15: of the three Monotheistic Face, the Western Wall, the Church
- 1:08:32Speaker 15: of the Holy Sepulcher, and the Alaxa Mosque and by
- 1:08:34Speaker 15: dint of a miracle, again none of them were hurt,
- 1:08:37Speaker 15: but they were targeting the holy sites of the three
- 1:08:40Speaker 15: major monotheistic religions. Third, they fired an intercontinental ballistic missile
- 1:08:47Speaker 15: on Diego Garcia. That's four thousand kilometers. I've been warning
- 1:08:50Speaker 15: all the time they have now the capacity to reach
- 1:08:53Speaker 15: deep into Europe. They already have fired on the European
- 1:08:56Speaker 15: country Cyprus. They are putting everyone in their sights. And Fourth,
- 1:09:03Speaker 15: they're stopping a maritime international route, energy route and trying
- 1:09:08Speaker 15: to blackmail the entire world. What more proof do you
- 1:09:11Speaker 15: need that this regime that threatens the entire world has to.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: Be stopped, all right?
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: So that was Antan Yahu just over the weekend, advocating
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: for more boots on the ground to not cease these operations,
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: and a proof in the putting of the fact that
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: they now have intercontinental ballistic missiles that allow them to
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: go further than what we had anticipated, and that when
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: Democrats were critical of Donald Trump getting involved in this conflict,
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: they're like, Naha, they're not a threat. Don't you worry
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: about a thing. But it shows that they do have
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: capabilities that they were not telling us about that breaks
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: all of the treaties, all of the Iranian deals that
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: Barack Obama and all these others put together that were
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: critical when Donald Trump got rid of them because they
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: were so useless, kind of like the United Nations, a
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: useless organization that does absolutely nothing. And we're seeing what's
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: been done behind the scenes that we were not aware
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: of and why this intelligence coming from Tulci Gabbard and
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: the Department of National Intelligence giving it to the Trump
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: administration deemed that this to be a threat and we
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: have to continue on. So my question to you now
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: is do we end the operation. Do we just wanted
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: to get rid of some of this technology, make sure
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: they don't have a nuclear weapon?
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: Or was it full on.
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: Regime change, not by putting in a new regime by us,
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: but allowing the people of Iran, the Persian original Arabian
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: people there, to come up with their own government and
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: do their own regime change in US just giving that
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: assistance in order to do so. And are we beholden
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: to Israel by them saying, hey, this is still an
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: imminent threat, we need boots on the ground, and we
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: have to escalate this, which he's advocating that this is
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: the United States, but other nations around the region to
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: get involved in this as well. Nine oh one two
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six got to take a break.

- 1:12:15Speaker 3: over at Patriot Mobile. All right, let's go to again
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: real quickly. Let's see what they're jumping into. Is the
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: roundtable happening in Memphis, Tennessee. What's the latest from President
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: Donald Trump?
- 1:12:26Speaker 16: So much so that we've decapitated the leadership of the
- 1:12:30Speaker 16: Richard Ruthless Gang and the Vice Lord gangs operating here
- 1:12:33Speaker 16: in Memphis. Their leadership, their membership is currently running the
- 1:12:38Speaker 16: streets without any sort of direction. The gang members are
- 1:12:44Speaker 16: falling apart their weekend, their ability to coordinate and commit
- 1:12:47Speaker 16: violent crimes are broken down. Because of the Memphis Safe
- 1:12:50Speaker 16: Task Force, We've also been able to identify numerous firearms
- 1:12:54Speaker 16: trafficking Task Force and the evidence items that you see
- 1:12:57Speaker 16: here we're recovered from violent gang members. Many of these
- 1:13:01Speaker 16: firearms were converted from semi automatic weapons to be able
- 1:13:06Speaker 16: to accept machine gun conversion devices, which now allow these
- 1:13:09Speaker 16: rifles and pistols to shoot full auto. Those weapons were
- 1:13:12Speaker 16: used by the gang members to terrorize this community and
- 1:13:15Speaker 16: commit numerous homicides and numerous aggravated assaults. Those networks were
- 1:13:20Speaker 16: identified and removed from operations. One in particular, was operating
- 1:13:25Speaker 16: three three D printing machines making machine gun conversion devices
- 1:13:29Speaker 16: in his house when search warrants were executed by ATF
- 1:13:32Speaker 16: and our Memphis Safe Task Force partners. We are continually
- 1:13:36Speaker 16: focused on preventing violent crime. In one instance, while we
- 1:13:39Speaker 16: were out of patrol with our state local partners, our
- 1:13:42Speaker 16: agents responded to a shooting that had just occurred and
- 1:13:45Speaker 16: located a victim that sustained serious gunshot injuries. Agents were
- 1:13:49Speaker 16: able to render first aid on the scene and prevent
- 1:13:53Speaker 16: that victim frompleting out victim was transported to the hospital
- 1:13:56Speaker 16: and ultimately survived because of the Memphis Safe Task Force being.
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: Here, go ahead and brought that down. Another update on
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: what's going on in Memphis. This is not just isolated
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: to Memphis. This is a nationwide movement right now. And
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: this is why so many people are excited to actually
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: be able to walk out in their streets and walk
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: down the street or walk in a park and not
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: be worrying about what kind of crime or threats may
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: be out there. This is a big win. And with
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: the homeland security funding lingering in the balance right now,
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: this is a major statement from President Donald Trump. I
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: love the fact that he's doing this in a round table.
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: I guess slash rally that's happening in Memphis right now,
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: and it's gonna it's not gonna go unnoticed. So well done,
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: always a couple steps ahead of others. And can you
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: imagine that the other side is angry about it, and
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: that wants this organized crime, wants this gang movement, wants
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: this rampant chaos in our streets to continue on because
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: Donald Jump doesn't have the authority to do so.
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: Every step of.
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: The way they've been on the losing end every step
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: of the way. They look a little more foolish every
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: single day. We got plenty more to cover here. Now
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: we're now our number three of the Top Starns Radio program. Andy,
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: Who's you're sitting in for Top Starnes. Lots more coming up,
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: stay here.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: America's conservative Blowtorch's.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: This American Todd starts. What is up America? Welcome into it.
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: It is the Top Starnes Radio program, and it is
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: so great to have you today for a Monday. We
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: are setting that tone, kicking things off. Carfe Dionism's all
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: over the place, which is what we do here on
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: the show each and every day, Todd getting you ramped
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: up and ready to rock and roll.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: But Todd is not here.
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: In fact, he is out at that rally, the round
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: table with President Donald Trump, Pambondy, Pete Hagsenth and others.
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: They're all there in Memphis, Tennessee, talking about keeping America
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: safe with the National Guard on the streets and their
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: task force that they have around the nation. And they're
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: in Memphis turning it from one of the most crime
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: ridden cities to one of the safest cities in the nation.
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: And that's pretty awesome. And Todd called in last hour
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: giving us an update from there at the rally, him
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: getting to meet and sit down with President Trump in person,
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: sitting down with Pam Bondy, talking about.
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: Many different issues.
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: I cannot wait for tomorrow when he's back behind the
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: microphone to give us a breakdown of how all of
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: that is going on.
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: So we will cover some more of that.
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: If they are still going loud, we may jump into
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: it throughout this hour, But welcome aboard to as usual.
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: Andy Hoosier sitting in today, moving the Liberty University Studios
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: out here from Memphis, Tennessee to Wichitak, Kansas. KQAM, the
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: Big Talker, my flagship and a great affiliate of the
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: Todd Starns Radio program. I want to hear from you
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: this hour nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: two six nine zero one two six zero five nine
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: on any that we've covered and everything else throughout the
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: day to day as Donald jump talks about getting rid
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: of crime and making our streets safe, battling organized crime,
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: deporting cartel members, breaking up gang members. It's been an
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: ongoing effort for the past year making us safer, and
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: yet some of the rhetoric that we hear from the
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: other side, which is extremely entertaining. By the way, I
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: didn't realize that you could just say random things without
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: them being fact checked in some fashion or just taken
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: as just fact. I always encourage, even with Todd when
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: he says something, when I say something on here and
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: on our shows, that you want to fact check. You
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: want to make sure that what we're saying is accurate, right,
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: because you can't just say things and then people.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Are like, ah, sounds great, it sounds like the right thing.
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: Jazzmine Crockett, which I cannot wait until the end of
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: the year when she's out of office. She has been
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: booted out with the redistricting in Texas. She lost the
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: Senate primary to tell Rico, which is a whole other
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: issue we don't have time to get into right now.
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: But she's on the way out, so she feels that
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: she has the right to just say random things. And
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: I find it interesting. And while Donald Trump right now
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: is doing a roundtable slash rally in Memphis, he's hyping
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: up the fact that we do have crime that has
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: been decimated in society, like near fifty percent drops of crime,
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: major crimes around the country right now, that Jasmine Crockett
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: has the pair of quavos to go out and say
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: that Donald Trump is friendly to criminals and drug traffickers,
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that happened to.
- 1:18:29Speaker 8: National Drug traffickers love Donald Trump because they know that
- 1:18:34Speaker 8: even if they are arrested, it's easy enough to get
- 1:18:38Speaker 8: a pardon from him. The data shows that Donald Trump
- 1:18:41Speaker 8: is one of the most pro drug trafficking presidents in
- 1:18:44Speaker 8: modern day history.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: I love it again.
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: You could just say things now a couple points and
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: then I don't want to spend too much time on
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: it because I don't like to give her a lot
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: of attention. Although she is kind of the low hanging
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: through out there to poke fun at that, you would
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: think that the I don't know, the push to try
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: and call Donald Trump favorable to drug traffickers would fall
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: on a lot of deaf fears, even from the other
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: side of the aisle.
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: Because while we have now the Shield.
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: Of the Americas and we're going after organized crime and
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: cartels around our hemisphere, Central and South America and the
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: civil war in Mexico, we're seeing right now, and a
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: lot of issues that that would pretty much just negate
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: everything she just said in the first place.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: At the same time, she goes on to.
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: Talk about the drug traffickers and the people that have
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: drug charges that he has pardoned out of jails across
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: the nation.
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: And look, I could be wrong.
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: I thought the platform of Democrats, and the platform of
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: the Progressives, and the platform of many of the minority
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: persuasion around the country was the fact that we have
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: wrongly jailed people for minor drug charges, and that while
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: we do this reform on marijuana and we try to
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: bring it from a Class one to a Class three
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: narcotic classification, and that we allow medical studies.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: On this one.
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: Donald Trump in his administration, including those apparently there's a
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: czar that advocates for who should be pardoned, a pardoning
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: czar or whatever their title is, that they focused primarily
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: on people with low level drug charges to be released.
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: So even on that premise.
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: Everything she says is absolutely insane. But that's Jasmine Crockett
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: for you to where apparently we're just friendly to cartels
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: and drug traffickers.
- 1:20:21Speaker 8: Now to national drug traffickers. Love Donald Trump.
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, that's the ridiculous. Look.
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: I'm telling you, there is a major divide in reality
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: right now, and I think that's gonna show with the
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: social experiment in the midterms of twenty twenty six on
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: who people are going to turn out and vote for
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: based on the information they have and based on the
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: rhetoric that they listen to, because there is literally a
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: polar opposite. If you talk to a Democrat, they think
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: the sky is purple outside, and if you don't agree
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: with that, then you're some sort of racist and you
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: can look outside and obviously see that's not the case.
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: Have you seen the movie it was what was it called?
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: It was a Netflix movie, you got horrible reviews. It
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: was called Don't Look Up, and it was about this
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: asteroid that was going to come and decimate the earth
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: and politics that the political leaders didn't want the hysteria
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: of society by knowing the world was going to end,
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: So they literally created a campaign on social media that said,
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: don't look up, don't look up and see the thing
- 1:21:16Speaker 3: that's blatantly in the sky that's hurling towards earth.
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: Don't look up.
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: And there was a hashtag on it on social media,
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: and there was a trend on it, and then people
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: would take videos of the asteroid and the big light
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: in the sky and post it on social media, and
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: then they say it was fake and it was such
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: a stupid movie, but it really did showcase what the
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: kind of society that we're in right now, where you
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: can literally tell people to not do basic things and
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: they'll go along with it, or you can show them
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: truth and reality and they just ignore it because it
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: doesn't fit a certain narrative and they can start a
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: campaign to actually blind you. It's the truth always comes
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: out in the end. But goll Amen, it's wild. It's
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: a crazy world out there, all right. Nine one two six,
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: zero fifty nine twenty six. Thank you Jazmine Crockett for
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: the entertainment of the day. I do want to get
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: into some other issues that have not been talked about
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: much lately. But today, not sure if you're aware or not,
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: Today is actually an ongoing hearing from the Supreme Court
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: with a case that the RNC is involved in on
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: the deadline for mail in ballots for election season. Now
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: as we go on with the filibuster for the Save
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: Act in the Senate and we're trying to mandate that
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: you show a voter ID to actually vote. Wild concept constitutionally,
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: right that now we have this bill or this movement
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: to try and actually have election day be election day,
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: and that you should not have mail in ballots come
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: in after election day because right now, nationwide in general,
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: we have about a three day grace period as long
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: as it's time stamped on election day. You can drop
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: it in the mail election day and have it not
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: get there for three or four days after, and somehow
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: that still gets counted. And I find that probably one
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: of the dumbest things in the world. Election day's election day,
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: and we already have with early voting, we have like
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: a two month period in a two month window, which,
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: by the way, the Save Acts conversation goes on. That
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: was the argument that I heard over the weekend from
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: a Democrat was, well, if you want to go and
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: vote and you don't have your ID stuff and you
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: didn't get verified, and you want to vote in it's
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: October and you want to go there, but you got
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: to validate it by having your passport.
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: You can't get your passport because it's six weeks out
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: before you can get it.
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: So therefore we're taking someone's ability to vote away because
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: of the timeframe that we're giving them to get all
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: this documentation. It's a dumb argument, but they like to
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: play victim all the time. I didn't realize that you
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: can have a two month window and then still have
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: procrastinators on the day before the election be like, oh.
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: I think I go and vote, all right. Wasn't paying
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: attention to politics all the way before it? But why
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: why the heck?
- 1:23:40Speaker 3: Now we're just gonna show up to the polling place
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: on election day and then if they don't let me
- 1:23:44Speaker 3: vote because I didn't do the prerequisits beforehand, then of
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: course now it's voter suppression and we're letting people not
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: have their voices heard in our society. Kind of a
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: dumb argument, but I do want to go to there
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: was This happened just a little while ago. The conversation
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: internally which you can hear on YouTube, the ongoing conversation
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: regarding the mail in ballot conversation with the US Supreme
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: Court on what that looks like, and the conversation was
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: actually kind of interesting.
- 1:24:08Speaker 17: Ker You said, the final choice has been made and
- 1:24:12Speaker 17: there are lots of different ways. Seems to me that
- 1:24:14Speaker 17: you can make a final choice, and you also have
- 1:24:16Speaker 17: the problem of this revocability from the postal Service regulation.
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: So I think to start with the first part you're on,
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: I mean, I think we're going at an historically recognized
- 1:24:27Speaker 5: form of finality. I think history is helpful in a
- 1:24:31Speaker 5: number of ways. In one way is as long as
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: we've had mail in voting, we've for almost as long
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: as that time we've had post election a ballot receipt,
- 1:24:40Speaker 5: I mean mail in voting, I think in general has
- 1:24:42Speaker 5: been understood as a permissible, unchallenged method.
- 1:24:45Speaker 17: I wouldn't rely on the history if I were you,
- 1:24:47Speaker 17: since you're telling us not to rely on the other
- 1:24:49Speaker 17: side's history, like, just because it's always been done that
- 1:24:52Speaker 17: way doesn't mean it has to be done that way,
- 1:24:54Speaker 17: which I actually find is a good point in your favor.
- 1:24:57Speaker 17: But then it seems to me that you're flipping back
- 1:24:59Speaker 17: around and saying, well, absentee voting has always been done
- 1:25:02Speaker 17: that way by common carrier, and so that's how I
- 1:25:04Speaker 17: would expect it to be done.
- 1:25:06Speaker 10: Well.
- 1:25:06Speaker 5: I think it says something that for one hundred years
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: we've had people voting by mail, and that's been an
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: understood means of submitting a ballot to the state. I
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: think what it embodies, Justice baarit is there's an intuition
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: that when you send you when you put something through
- 1:25:20Speaker 5: the postal service, it's final, it's trusted. It's not like
- 1:25:25Speaker 5: giving it to kind of a non official third party.
- 1:25:27Speaker 18: What if a state came up with a law that said,
- 1:25:30Speaker 18: so long as a notary that's official, le's recognized, certified,
- 1:25:36Speaker 18: that you cast your ballot on election day and it
- 1:25:39Speaker 18: was delivered later by whatever means common carrier or not.
- 1:25:43Speaker 18: What in your theory of the preemptive effect of this
- 1:25:46Speaker 18: statue would preclude that law?
- 1:25:48Speaker 3: All right, So interesting conversation with the Supreme Court, the
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: oral arguments happening today on this case that involves the
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: RNC trying to make election day election day nationwide. We
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: don't need a three day grace period. You have two
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: months to go and vote. You have two months for
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: your early voting ballots, mostly depending on your state laws
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: around the nation that you have plenty of time to
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: get registered if you plan on voting, you have plenty
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: of time to request your mail in ballot, and you
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: have plenty of time to get it sent back before
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: that deadline. Look I don't know why we have a
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: lot of apparently we can. We're just gonna push it
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: out to just have a year long election to where oh, hey,
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: look the people are trickling in six months in advance.
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: Why because why the heck not? Oh we need more
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: votes after election day?
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: Well, I guess we better go start door knocking and
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: get some more people out there to turn out. Like,
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: come on, so stupid. I've always been one personally that
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: likes election day being on election day. Even the early
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: voting kind of bugs me. I understand nowadays with how
- 1:26:40Speaker 3: many people vote and the lack of precincts that we
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: have around the country in certain cities that, okay, I
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: get it early voting whatever, But I mean especially mail
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: in Why would you trust you the USPS and the
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: Postal Service to deliver your ballot when this should be,
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: at least, in my eyes, one of the most important
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: things that you do. Why you would trust the government
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: run mail system to deliver that. I don't know. I'm
- 1:27:06Speaker 3: all for drop boxes. If you're gonna do anything, I
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: mean to at least do that. At least those are
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: somewhat secure for the most plat at least in certain areas.
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: I'm basing that knowledge off of what we do here
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: in Kansas, and we actually just passed a law this
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: past not this session, but last year's twenty twenty five
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: legislative session to actually make election day on election day
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: and to get rid of the three day grace period
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: that if you're going to mail it in, you have
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: to do it and it has to be postdated by
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: a certain time, and if it gets to received the
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: date after elections, it's not counted. So, you know, stop
- 1:27:34Speaker 3: being the procrastinators. And Americans we are really good at
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: being procrastinators. Procrastinators unite tomorrow because we just don't want
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: to do it today.
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: I get it.
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: I've been in customer service before. I know that people
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: love to wait till the last minute to do anything,
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: and it drives me absolutely nuts. I always want I was,
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: for those who don't know, I was a banker in
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: a past life before I got back into radio, and
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: I worked at one of the banks that were inside
- 1:27:57Speaker 3: of a grocery store and we closed at seven pm,
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: and right at seven we turned off the lights, our
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: drawers were balanced, we were putting money in the vault,
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: and sure enough, at seven oh two, I need to
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: make a deposit, like bro at seven o'clock it was
- 1:28:11Speaker 3: already done. Sorry, gotta come back later like you had
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: all day, And I get it, things happened, but golly,
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: it's a yeah. We love to procrastinate in society and
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: it drives me nuts. So this goes into the election cycle.
- 1:28:23Speaker 3: Are you ready for election day to be actually election
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: day and we can get the results those nights. We
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: don't have to wait for mail ends that are coming
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: in three days late. We don't have to wait for
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: those absentee ballots. Well, I mean absentee Baltis still be
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: counted afterwards, but we can at least minimize the time
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: we have to wait based on getting election results on
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: the night of. I think this is a big one.
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: I personally believe this is going to stand and allow
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: the Republicans, allow the RNC to continue on with their
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: push to end that grace period nation wide and forced
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: states to adapt those types of policies in their own
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: states nine oh one, two six zero five, nine twenty six.
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: The focus on elections with the mail in ballots and
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: with the Save Act, are we cleaning up the elections
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: to where you can feel confident about it? And that
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: we could see maybe a drastic difference in the results
- 1:29:08Speaker 3: of elections come November of this year. We'll get your
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: thoughts on that right around the corner for the Todd
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: Starnes Radio program.
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: Stay here.
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back to it Todd Starnes Radio Show. Andy,
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: who's you're sitting in today for a Monday nine oh
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six, if you'd
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: like to jump on the show and let us know
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: some of your thoughts on all this and more. By
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: the way, we are going into a sacred time of
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: the year, as you know, which is Passover, which is
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: when we remember God's deliverance in the night, that he
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: brought us people out of bondage and into freedom. And
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: this year, right now, many of God's people will be
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: observing that. In the darkness and under the shadow of
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: war and ongoing conflict across the nation of Israel, red
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: alert sirens pierce the air, Families running shelters with seconds
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: to spare. Elderly men and women fear that they'll be
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: left behind if something happens. Parents for frightened children. His
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: explosions shake the night. Sleeplessness and uncertainty have become the
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: daily life in that region. But Passover reminds us that
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: God hears the cries of his people and his answers
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: with love and compassion. And that's why the International Fellowship
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: of Christians and Jews is on the high ground right
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: now with Israel providing food and emergency supplies, equipping bomb
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: shelters and carrying caring for elderly Holocaust survivors that are
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: still there. And just as people once cried out for deliverance,
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: vulnerable Israelis need your help today. Your most generous Passover
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: gift shows that you stand with God's people to rush
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: your gift today called eight eight eight four eight eight
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight if c J.
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: Or you can give online as well to IFCJ dot org.
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: That's if C day as IFCJ dot org. Go and
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: donate today with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: All Right, we have a few minutes before our bottom
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: of the hour here as we talk about the election
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: season here in Kansas. As I mentioned, we passed our
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: voter laws. We have a Kansas Save Act actually that
- 1:31:04Speaker 3: we're working on. We've gotten made sure that election day
- 1:31:07Speaker 3: is actual election day, and if we're able to implement
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: this on a nationwide front, what kind of changes could
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: we see in the results of the elections. How much
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: influence did Democrats really have in society? And how popular
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: are they when the poles continue to show that they
- 1:31:22Speaker 3: lose popularity every day, and it's really just because they're
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: out of touch, right, I mean, you have Chuck Schumer
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: out there putting the cheese on the burger pet the
- 1:31:28Speaker 3: raw burger patty on the grill.
- 1:31:29Speaker 19: I'm just like you.
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: You got Kamala Harris out on the late night TV
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: shows drinking the adult beverage. You got Elizabeth Warren that's
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: on the live stream.
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: You want a beer, I on a beer. Let's have
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: a beer. Let's have a beer together.
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: Trying to sound relatable AOC, trying to do the challenges
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: on social media, to look like they're a great fighter.
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: Pick your fighter for the one who's going to stand
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: up and represent you. It's all a gimmicky Oaks and
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: it's really kind of cheesy because their popularity is in
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: the absolute tanks.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: I don't put a whole lot of comfort in the polls,
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: but we're getting some conflicting reports right now and I
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: would have to go with the one that CNN, who
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: despises Donald Trump, by the way, continues to report when
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: one hundred percent of MAGA MAGA Republicans are supporting Donald
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: Trump right now with his approval rating, even with the
- 1:32:14Speaker 3: ongoing conflict in Iran. And while you could say, well,
- 1:32:17Speaker 3: there's less people in the MAGA movement, so it's less
- 1:32:20Speaker 3: of a poll that it's not true because actually more
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: people are identifying as MAGA than what previous polls have
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: showed as well. But on the other hand, there's another
- 1:32:27Speaker 3: poll that shows at Trump's approval rating is at thirty
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: four percent and extremely low, and that only eighteen percent
- 1:32:34Speaker 3: of Americans think that they're off. They're better right now financially,
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: which is kind of an ironic time to release a
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: poll like that, because well, with the higher gas prices
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: right now because of the conflict with Iran, of course,
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: people are going to be a little frustrated with the
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: way gas prices are. Boy, let's remember, gas prices are
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: still lower right now than what they were during the
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: Biden administration over the past four years. So you can
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: try and throw a fit all you want to, they're
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: still lower than that and most people were saying that
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: they were okay with paying higher gas prices to support
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: the nation of Ukraine during that conflict with Russia that's
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: still ongoing, by the way, but conveniently, we don't hear
- 1:33:09Speaker 3: much about that one. So we're not sure exactly where
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: Donald Trump's approval ratings are, with thirty four percent or
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: I don't know, in the mid fifties overall, with one
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: hundred percent of Republicans and the MAGA individual supporting him
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: right now. But that's why he's on the campaign trail,
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: that's why he's in Memphis, that's why he's talking about
- 1:33:29Speaker 3: what he's talking about to show the wins and then
- 1:33:32Speaker 3: potentially winding down this conflict and I ran, which we're
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: going to lead to lower gas prices across the board.
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: We'll talk with some of that with our next guest
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: right around the corner here for the Todd Sterns Radio
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: program on a Monday, Stay right here, all right, Welcome
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: back to it, Todd Stearns Radio program on the home Stretch. Here, Andy,
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: who's're sitting in for Todd? If you want more information
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: about Todd and what he's doing, which I can't wait
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: to hear his stories tomorrow as he is there in
- 1:34:08Speaker 3: Memphis with the Trump Roundtable, the Safer Task Force that
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: they're doing in the crime rates that we've seen in
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: Memphis and other areas, sitting down for a few minutes
- 1:34:16Speaker 3: with President Trump and with Pambondi and others chatting with them.
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear some of those stories of
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: what he's been able to chat with them about tomorrow
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: on the program, So do not miss that one again.
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: You can find all the information at Todd Starns dot
- 1:34:28Speaker 3: com and on his social media. If you want some
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: of my information, you can find my website at Who's
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: Your Reason dot com. That's h oo S E R
- 1:34:36Speaker 3: Reason dot com. And you can check out my radio
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: affiliates and what we do on my show, which is
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: kind of what we've been doing here on the Todd
- 1:34:44Speaker 3: Starnes Radio program throughout the day today. But there's a
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: lot to talk about, for sure, the Supreme Court hearings
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: right now, the oral arguments are still going on regarding
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: the mail in ballot issue on election Day?
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: Is election day?
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: How crazy would it be to see something like that
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: pass and make the Democrats lose their mind? At the
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: same time, we've been following the statement from President Trump
- 1:35:04Speaker 3: that we could be having a five day ceasefire with Iran?
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: Is that a good idea? Is that where we're at
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: with this conflict when he said it was going to
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: be four to six weeks of a mission, and we're
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: about four weeks in right now. So are we where
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: we need to be or do we still have some
- 1:35:18Speaker 3: work to do? And what does it do not only
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: for Iran but also for some of the other nations
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: with China and Russia, which sounds like they're kind of
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: getting buddy buddy because deeper hidden meaning if you're not
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: aware of this, much of the oil that China specially
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: uses get refined and used from Iran, and now that
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: we're involved there, they've lost their oil. So now they're
- 1:35:38Speaker 3: partnering with Russia, which was kind of expected. Russia trying
- 1:35:42Speaker 3: to threaten European nations to cut them off because of
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: well US working with Donald Trump and getting involved in Iran.
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: So they're on a quagmire now and it's going to
- 1:35:50Speaker 3: be interesting to see where this leads to moving forward
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: to talk about some of this and more happy to
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: have on the program as we go to the Patriot
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: Mobile newsmaker Hotline, good friend of mine and author multiple books,
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: including his latest one that's just been released to Clinton
- 1:36:03Speaker 3: Oaks Obama COO happy to have on the made himself
- 1:36:06Speaker 3: Drew Thomas Allen Drew, how are you, my friend?
- 1:36:09Speaker 19: Hey, I'm good man.
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: Good to be with you, brother, Yeah, yeah, it's always
- 1:36:12Speaker 3: great to chat with you. What a wild world we
- 1:36:14Speaker 3: live in right now. We have the foreign policy that again,
- 1:36:17Speaker 3: Donald Trump seems to be I don't know, five or
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: six steps ahead of everybody else, not only with the
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: nation of Iran, but with China and Russia with their involvement.
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: We have the shield of the Americas and everybody just
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: throwing a foot about it all across the board. Are
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: we where we need to be right now? Do you
- 1:36:32Speaker 3: think with these operations?
- 1:36:36Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 1:36:36Speaker 19: I think so. I mean I think I think that
- 1:36:39Speaker 19: a lot of us, including me, you know, you'd like
- 1:36:41Speaker 19: to see it over already, but that's not the nature
- 1:36:44Speaker 19: of Iran. And you know, I mean they basically have
- 1:36:47Speaker 19: a bunch of guerrilla warfare. It's like you know, Vietnam
- 1:36:49Speaker 19: over there, with the way they've trained their revolutionary troops,
- 1:36:53Speaker 19: especially as it relates to the Strait of for moves
- 1:36:58Speaker 19: so you know, I'm okay. I mean, I think think
- 1:37:00Speaker 19: that the indications are that, you know, we are absolutely
- 1:37:04Speaker 19: you know, winning this thing, and you know, we have
- 1:37:07Speaker 19: to hope that it continues in that direction. But there
- 1:37:09Speaker 19: are a lot of voices out there that you know,
- 1:37:11Speaker 19: used to be maga and they just want to you know,
- 1:37:14Speaker 19: you know, present doom and gloom. Every single day. They're
- 1:37:18Speaker 19: making outrageous claims like we're being strategically outmatched by Iran.
- 1:37:22Speaker 19: And I don't know how you can come to that conclusion, Andy,
- 1:37:24Speaker 19: When they have a dead Ayatala, they have their next
- 1:37:27Speaker 19: Dayatala who's injured and gay somewhere. And you know, we've
- 1:37:32Speaker 19: got all these countries that are also air countries that
- 1:37:34Speaker 19: are you know, participating to the extent that it allows
- 1:37:37Speaker 19: us to do what we need to do, you know.
- 1:37:40Speaker 19: So I mean, I'm I'm you know, I look, I
- 1:37:42Speaker 19: voted for Trump three times. I trust him. I don't
- 1:37:45Speaker 19: want a forever war. This is not a forever war
- 1:37:47Speaker 19: obviously yet, and you know I'm gonna compete to support
- 1:37:51Speaker 19: Donald Trump.
- 1:37:53Speaker 3: I am cautiously optimistic about the direction we're going with it,
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: because you're right, I don't think any of us want
- 1:37:57Speaker 3: long term wars, which is why we've seen such support
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: for we're Donald Trump that doesn't want to get into
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: long term wars and use the military industrial complex, and
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: that's why we saw those like Tulsi Gabbard and others
- 1:38:06Speaker 3: that have jumped on board with him. At the same time.
- 1:38:09Speaker 3: Do you think the message that we got today, which
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: Donald Trump again this morning earlier talking about how you
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: know we're gonna do this five day hold because we're
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: in negotiations. This is what he had to say.
- 1:38:18Speaker 11: The discussions took place yesterday and they went into yesterday
- 1:38:21Speaker 11: the evening.
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: They want very much to make a deal.
- 1:38:27Speaker 4: We'd like to make a deal too.
- 1:38:29Speaker 11: We're going to get together today by probably phone, because
- 1:38:34Speaker 11: it's very hard.
- 1:38:35Speaker 17: To find a country.
- 1:38:37Speaker 11: It's very hard for them to get out, I guess.
- 1:38:40Speaker 11: But well, at some point very soon meet we're doing
- 1:38:43Speaker 11: a five day Paris. Well, see how that goes, and
- 1:38:46Speaker 11: then it goes, well, we're gonna end up with settle
- 1:38:49Speaker 11: as otherwise we just keep bombing our little heart.
- 1:38:53Speaker 3: We're just bombing our little hearts out. But is this
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: a little I don't know. I'm so nervous of why
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: we're pausing it with conversation ever time we've had conversation
- 1:39:01Speaker 3: with Iran, who, by the way, is denying that we're
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: having any conversation at all right now with Donald Trump.
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: Is it too optimistic that we might actually see some
- 1:39:10Speaker 3: progress or have we actually fulfilled the agenda of removing
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: the regime altogether and allowing the Persian non radical Islamists
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: to take hold of their government and do something completely different.
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: Why are we stopping this with hopes that the conversation
- 1:39:23Speaker 3: might actually be productive.
- 1:39:26Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean it's a little bit murky because you know, look,
- 1:39:30Speaker 19: I don't understand how that government's set up or how
- 1:39:33Speaker 19: they're you know, so like when I hear that, you know,
- 1:39:35Speaker 19: there's issues with the straight and poor news and so
- 1:39:37Speaker 19: on and so forth, it's like, why I thought that
- 1:39:39Speaker 19: we decapitated them, you know, I thought we had them
- 1:39:41Speaker 19: on the run. So, you know, it doesn't quite add
- 1:39:45Speaker 19: up completely with what I understand, because you know, it
- 1:39:49Speaker 19: seems like they're still, you know, waging this fight. I mean,
- 1:39:53Speaker 19: I think one of the more disappointing things, and it
- 1:39:55Speaker 19: comes back to the fact that we have a second Amendment,
- 1:39:57Speaker 19: is that it doesn't seem we don't seem to see
- 1:40:01Speaker 19: any real like revolution on the ground by the Iranian people,
- 1:40:04Speaker 19: who definitely support the United States of America. They want
- 1:40:08Speaker 19: to be free, but you know they're not armed up obviously,
- 1:40:12Speaker 19: So I mean, I'm just it's really hard, Andy because
- 1:40:15Speaker 19: in this day and age, with social media and the
- 1:40:18Speaker 19: way false information as well as true information travels so quickly,
- 1:40:24Speaker 19: it's hard to really get a grasp on what's actually
- 1:40:26Speaker 19: happening over there. And to be completely frank with you,
- 1:40:29Speaker 19: I mean, there are indications obviously that I mean, I
- 1:40:32Speaker 19: think it's outrageous to claim that, you know, Iran is
- 1:40:34Speaker 19: somehow winning this that's not true. But I don't know
- 1:40:38Speaker 19: what it looks like. I mean, it's a little bit scary.
- 1:40:40Speaker 19: Iran's coming out, and you know, we found out that
- 1:40:42Speaker 19: they do have long range missiles that can hit London, Paris,
- 1:40:44Speaker 19: et cetera, which actually I think reaffirms that, you know,
- 1:40:50Speaker 19: Donald Trump made.
- 1:40:50Speaker 4: The right move in going to war with Iran.
- 1:40:53Speaker 19: But you know, there's scary stuff, and they're threatening to
- 1:40:56Speaker 19: go after these desalinization you know sinners. You know, the
- 1:41:00Speaker 19: Middle East, there's not a lot of water, so they
- 1:41:01Speaker 19: depend upon these things for survival. If if they were
- 1:41:04Speaker 19: to hit those targets. I mean, it would be a catastrophe.
- 1:41:06Speaker 19: Millions of people would die. And so it's a little
- 1:41:10Speaker 19: bit unsteady. I mean for I guess you know, look,
- 1:41:12Speaker 19: I mean a look at Iran is this weak kind
- 1:41:14Speaker 19: of regime. And yet you know they've got enough strength
- 1:41:18Speaker 19: to kind of, you know, keep putting up a fight
- 1:41:20Speaker 19: and get us at the negotiating table, right well, to
- 1:41:23Speaker 19: get them with the negotiating table.
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very true. Let's bring it home to the
- 1:41:26Speaker 3: domestic front for just a moment. We still see the
- 1:41:28Speaker 3: ongoing filibuster right now with the Save Act at DHS
- 1:41:31Speaker 3: funding that is still lingering in the balance right now,
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: there's been a new proposal from Senator John Kennedy saying
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: that we should go with the Democrats and splitting off
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: ICE funding with the rest of DHS to get DHS refunded,
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: get TSA workers back on track and do that thing,
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: and then use the reconciliation process that doesn't need the
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: sixty vote supermajority, but just a simple majority for Republicans
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: to get on board and pass the rest of the
- 1:41:56Speaker 3: ICE funding without Democrat support, and that way we can
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: end this can be productive. And again another government shutdown
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: that was wasted with no progress from the Democrats whatsoever.
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: Is that the best move here after a week now
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: of shutting down any operation in the US Senate.
- 1:42:13Speaker 19: Well, the unfortunate reality is that you have people like
- 1:42:19Speaker 19: Mitch McConnell and Mkowski and a couple of other holdouts
- 1:42:24Speaker 19: that really are time in the hands of the Senate
- 1:42:27Speaker 19: right now. And you know, I mean, that's just I
- 1:42:30Speaker 19: don't know if that's the best solution, but it's it's
- 1:42:33Speaker 19: an okay solution in my mind if they can actually
- 1:42:36Speaker 19: get the support of you know, the other Republican senators
- 1:42:39Speaker 19: to do that. It's so demoralizing, you know, to look
- 1:42:45Speaker 19: at the fact that we have a fifty three seat majority,
- 1:42:47Speaker 19: and for example, we could have passed to say Back
- 1:42:51Speaker 19: with nothing more than returning to the traditional standing talking filibuster.
- 1:42:56Speaker 19: And it doesn't require any rule change. You just need
- 1:42:58Speaker 19: fifty one senators to band together to stay in there
- 1:43:02Speaker 19: in the chamber and make sure that you know it continues.
- 1:43:05Speaker 19: And you're telling me that we have fifty three seat
- 1:43:07Speaker 19: majority and we can't get fifty one Republican Senators to
- 1:43:11Speaker 19: support what over eighty percent of Americans want past.
- 1:43:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that, and that really shows the state
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: of the Republican Party. Is that going to be a
- 1:43:20Speaker 3: backlash for us in the midterms this year? I mean,
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: right now, we're seeing more productivity in the Trump administration
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: than really any administration in the past century, but a
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: frustration is growing among Republican voters of the fact that
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: Republicans in Congress are not matching that enthusiasm. Codifying the
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: Trump agenda, codifying the executive orders. Is that going to
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: come back to bide us in November.
- 1:43:41Speaker 19: Yeah, it's going to be a big problem. Actually, and
- 1:43:44Speaker 19: you know, I think that they know it's going to
- 1:43:45Speaker 19: be a problem. And you've got the rhinos part of
- 1:43:47Speaker 19: the quote unquote uniparty that would love nothing more than
- 1:43:50Speaker 19: to see that happen. I mean, you've got the same
- 1:43:51Speaker 19: people that were that were you know, couldn't wait for
- 1:43:54Speaker 19: Ronald Reagan to be out of there to take back
- 1:43:56Speaker 19: the Republican Party, and they're looking at Donald Trump right
- 1:43:58Speaker 19: now and they're trying to, you know, weaken him, and
- 1:44:01Speaker 19: it's it's shameful obviously, But of course this is going
- 1:44:04Speaker 19: to hurt us in midterms because look, I mean I
- 1:44:07Speaker 19: can sit here and explain to your audience. You can
- 1:44:11Speaker 19: explain to the audience, you know, all day long till
- 1:44:13Speaker 19: our face is turned blue, that you know Trump is
- 1:44:16Speaker 19: on the on the ballot for midterms, you know. But
- 1:44:21Speaker 19: you know, but people people still.
- 1:44:23Speaker 4: You know, they.
- 1:44:26Speaker 19: Are going to be frustrated and not energized to go
- 1:44:28Speaker 19: out and vote because at the end of the day,
- 1:44:29Speaker 19: they're voting for you know, Senate candidates or you know,
- 1:44:33Speaker 19: Houses representative candidates, and so it's it's typically lost on
- 1:44:36Speaker 19: people that, look, man, you're going to have nothing but
- 1:44:39Speaker 19: impeachments that are going to persist after this. Uh, you're
- 1:44:42Speaker 19: going to basically end Donald Trump. I mean basically all
- 1:44:44Speaker 19: the energy we put into reelecting Donald Trump in twenty
- 1:44:47Speaker 19: twenty four is going to be wasted if we don't,
- 1:44:50Speaker 19: if we don't maintain control of the House and Senate.
- 1:44:52Speaker 19: And I just I hope that people understand that because
- 1:44:55Speaker 19: you voting for a Republican even if it's you know,
- 1:44:57Speaker 19: you're upset right now, it's it's it's voting.
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: For Trump, right.
- 1:45:03Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be a major concern we'll talking about.
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: Drew Thomas Allen, author of multiple different books, including his
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: latest one, Clinton Hoax Obama coup. Let's go there for
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: a moment and let's talk about transparency and declassification.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: We've had the kind of rocky.
- 1:45:15Speaker 3: To put it in the least damaging way, kind of
- 1:45:19Speaker 3: rocky disclosure of the Epstein files that are still under
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: investigation right now under Pam Bondi, we have God bless my,
- 1:45:25Speaker 3: one of my favorite electeds right now with Congresswoman Anna
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: Paulina Luna and Congressman Tim Burchett and some of these
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: others that are working on transparency on multiple different fronts
- 1:45:34Speaker 3: right now, but especially with your book talking about the
- 1:45:37Speaker 3: Russia collusion with Donald Trump and some of the things
- 1:45:40Speaker 3: that have been going on behind the scenes. Are you
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: more optimistic that we're going to get more information, more
- 1:45:46Speaker 3: transparency from the secrets that have been held from us
- 1:45:49Speaker 3: for a really long time, where government thought that they
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: could just hold this in a classified file, stash it away,
- 1:45:55Speaker 3: and have it never come to light. Are we starting
- 1:45:57Speaker 3: to see the crack in that type of wall?
- 1:46:01Speaker 19: I think so. I mean, look, you know, TULSI declassified
- 1:46:04Speaker 19: a lot of the documents for the Trump Rusher collusion,
- 1:46:08Speaker 19: you know, last year, last summer, I think it was
- 1:46:10Speaker 19: that's when I started writing a book I think in
- 1:46:11Speaker 19: August of twenty twenty five, and so I mean it's
- 1:46:15Speaker 19: slower than any of US wamp but there's so much
- 1:46:17Speaker 19: of it too. I just hope that they are organized
- 1:46:20Speaker 19: enough and they're working on behind the scenes. I mean, look,
- 1:46:23Speaker 19: Tulca Gabbard was present in Georgia when the FBI showed
- 1:46:27Speaker 19: up to Seese, you know, documents related to the twenty
- 1:46:32Speaker 19: twenty election, So obviously they're doing things behind the scenes.
- 1:46:37Speaker 4: So things are.
- 1:46:38Speaker 19: Moving, but you know, like you know, but I haven't
- 1:46:42Speaker 19: heard anything about the Trump Rusher collusions STUS since really
- 1:46:44Speaker 19: last year, I mean even a little bit now because
- 1:46:47Speaker 19: Comy's you know, you know, some of what's coming out
- 1:46:50Speaker 19: in Florida where there's a grand jury in guiding hopefully.
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: So.
- 1:46:56Speaker 19: But you know, I wrote this book because I want
- 1:46:58Speaker 19: to force the issue, because you know, it's so much
- 1:47:02Speaker 19: worse than the American people ever were told that could
- 1:47:04Speaker 19: understand based on the be classified information, and there's there's
- 1:47:08Speaker 19: no one is literally no one has been held accountable
- 1:47:10Speaker 19: at this moment for it. You know told me maybe
- 1:47:13Speaker 19: the first, but nobody has. And you know, it's there's
- 1:47:17Speaker 19: so many bombshells in the book. I mean, you know,
- 1:47:20Speaker 19: unrelated to even you know, Trump Russia collusion itself. You know,
- 1:47:24Speaker 19: in twenty twelve, when Barack Obama was very weak after Benghazi,
- 1:47:29Speaker 19: you know, and his his reelection was actually looking like
- 1:47:31Speaker 19: it was in dire straits, he went on ABC News
- 1:47:34Speaker 19: with Letterman right after spreading the Bengazi hoaks right, blame
- 1:47:39Speaker 19: it on a video and it was a spontaneous protest.
- 1:47:42Speaker 19: They said, well, he went on the Letterman Show and
- 1:47:45Speaker 19: he said himself that it was because of a spontaneous video.
- 1:47:48Speaker 19: So that was the only time you had Barack Obama
- 1:47:50Speaker 19: actually saying it himself. And what I found in my
- 1:47:53Speaker 19: research was at CBS and the rest of the media
- 1:47:55Speaker 19: actually censored themselves. CBS, for example, removed that segment of
- 1:47:59Speaker 19: the Letterman interview with that damning admission to help him
- 1:48:03Speaker 19: win reelection. The question remains to the Obama administration and
- 1:48:06Speaker 19: the White House itself pressure the media and coordinate with
- 1:48:09Speaker 19: him to make sure that disappeared ahead of debates and
- 1:48:12Speaker 19: the election campaign. But the point is the irony is,
- 1:48:14Speaker 19: you know, they blame Russia for meddling to try and
- 1:48:16Speaker 19: re elect Down, to try and elect Donald Trump in
- 1:48:19Speaker 19: twenty sixteen, but they were all meddling in a far
- 1:48:22Speaker 19: worse way actually to try and get Barack Obama elected
- 1:48:26Speaker 19: and then of course Hillary Clinton.
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: Yeah, we haven't seen a lot of, like you said,
- 1:48:31Speaker 3: any accountability on this, on this front, on the Epstein front,
- 1:48:34Speaker 3: on a lot of it, and I think that's why
- 1:48:35Speaker 3: a lot of people are really upset about that. Your
- 1:48:36Speaker 3: last question for you, We have just a minute or
- 1:48:38Speaker 3: so left. But on the other types of transparency and
- 1:48:41Speaker 3: government accountability, we heard from Annapolina Luna on UFOs and
- 1:48:45Speaker 3: UAPs saying that yes, we are serious about releasing that info,
- 1:48:49Speaker 3: and according to her on a podcast this past week,
- 1:48:51Speaker 3: said that the information that's about to be released in
- 1:48:54Speaker 3: the next few days will blow your mind.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: What can we see with UFO disclosure?
- 1:48:59Speaker 19: Man, come on, oh man, I mean, you know we've
- 1:49:03Speaker 19: seen little little leaks here and there, or you know,
- 1:49:05Speaker 19: these these footage footage of things that look extra treasure
- 1:49:09Speaker 19: because we've never seen that kind of technology. It'll be
- 1:49:11Speaker 19: interesting to find out, you know, you know, look at
- 1:49:14Speaker 19: this like uh, you know, government secrets in terms of
- 1:49:18Speaker 19: technology we've developed that we don't want our enemies to
- 1:49:20Speaker 19: know about. Or is there more to this story that
- 1:49:22Speaker 19: people really not know, and if if they really don't know, uh,
- 1:49:26Speaker 19: you know, that's a quite an interesting prospect.
- 1:49:29Speaker 2: I'm still waiting for the alien side of it. Put
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: I want.
- 1:49:31Speaker 3: I mean, look, I know we I know we have
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: technology that we're not aware of. I know that we
- 1:49:36Speaker 3: have all these secrets that I think a lot of
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: the private contractors have been working on. But at the
- 1:49:39Speaker 3: same time, I want the ET confirmation. Make it happen.
- 1:49:42Speaker 3: It is Clinton hoax. Obamako the declassified story of the
- 1:49:45Speaker 3: Trump at Russia collusion. You can find it on Amazon
- 1:49:47Speaker 3: and other places as well. Drew, It's always good to
- 1:49:49Speaker 3: talk to you, my friend. Appreciate it.
- 1:49:51Speaker 19: YouTube brother talks to you and thank you.
- 1:49:53Speaker 3: Yeah, always a great time. Drew Thomas Allen here on
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotline. Always enjoy chatting with him
- 1:49:58Speaker 3: on the latest of what's going on with the current events.
- 1:50:00Speaker 3: Got to take a break your phone calls for the
- 1:50:01Speaker 3: last few minutes we have as we wrap things up
- 1:50:03Speaker 3: on a Monday here on the Todd Starnes Radio program.
- 1:50:15Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to it. It is the Todd Sterns
- 1:50:17Speaker 3: Radio Program. Got a few minutes left thanks again to
- 1:50:18Speaker 3: Drew Thomas Allen on the program. Always appreciate chatting with
- 1:50:21Speaker 3: him on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotlines. Todd back at
- 1:50:24Speaker 3: it again tomorrow. Cannot wait to hear some of his
- 1:50:26Speaker 3: conversation about what he got to experience with the town hall,
- 1:50:31Speaker 3: the roundtable, the rally that was going on there in
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: Memphis with President Donald Trump and some of those leaders.
- 1:50:36Speaker 3: One of the issues we didn't get a chance to
- 1:50:38Speaker 3: chat about today, so maybe Todd will be able to
- 1:50:40Speaker 3: have a chance to talk about it tomorrow. Was President
- 1:50:43Speaker 3: Trump over the weekend again, mister productivity over.
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: There, Hey, you're showing up the rest of the.
- 1:50:48Speaker 3: Politicians on getting things done and actually being productive in
- 1:50:51Speaker 3: your time, which is unheard of in Washington, DC usually.
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: But along with Iran and with the Save Acts, and
- 1:50:58Speaker 3: with the task force that are going on, and with taxes,
- 1:51:01Speaker 3: and with the economy, and with oil and farmers and
- 1:51:04Speaker 3: everything else he deals with, he released a new framework
- 1:51:07Speaker 3: for legislation on artificial intelligence. And again, just like with
- 1:51:12Speaker 3: his great and this is what he called it, his
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: Great health Care Plan, he has generalized guidelines and then
- 1:51:19Speaker 3: allows Congress to kind of fill in the blanks and
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: pass the legislation they need to pass. Now we're still
- 1:51:23Speaker 3: waiting on the whole healthcare thing that hasn't happened. And
- 1:51:25Speaker 3: he released the quote unquote great health Care Plan guidelines.
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: I don't know a month ago, two months ago. Times
- 1:51:33Speaker 3: kind of warped with how quick things move. But Congress
- 1:51:35Speaker 3: has yet to actually work on that and present their
- 1:51:37Speaker 3: plan for healthcare reform and repealing Obamacare. But he's released
- 1:51:41Speaker 3: his framework on artificial intelligence with what we what we
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: could see there, including protecting children and empowering parents, safeguarding
- 1:51:50Speaker 3: and strengthening American communities, reporting, respecting intellectual property and supporting creators,
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: free speech and preventing censorship, and some other issues. Fully,
- 1:52:00Speaker 3: we can see some guidance on this because I know
- 1:52:02Speaker 3: AI has been a disaster in some areas and there's
- 1:52:04Speaker 3: some things we need to work on, but work in progress.
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: I'm out.
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: Todd back again tomorrow. Until then, we will see you
- 1:52:10Speaker 3: back on the radio. Before you know it, it is
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: the Todd Starnes radio program. We'll see on the radio
- 1:52:14Speaker 3: by
