Dems Are Bringing a Woke Circus to DC · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee. On the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I love this American ride.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Todd Starnes.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Program.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: So great to have you with us today as we
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: begin the process of fixing what is broken with the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Republican Party. We have got a lot of things to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: talk about today. We have some great guests coming up.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And ladies and gentlemen, again, I just want to circle
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: back to something I shared with you yesterday on this
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: very program. Do not give up on the United States
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of America. Now, I'm just going to tell you, this
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is my viewpoint, this is my attitude moving forward, is
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that we've got a country to save, and I'm never
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: going to give up. I'm always going to fight the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: good fight, even until the bitter end, if in fact
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: there is a bitter end. But ladies and gentlemen, we
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: have no other choice but to stand up brush ourselves off,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and get back into the fight. We've got a lot
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of work to do. We've got to fix the Republican Party,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and we have to help them understand the error of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: their ways. And there are a lot of errors, ladies
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, a lot of them. But as it now
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: stands— and I was watching President Trump yesterday— as he was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: speaking from the White House and the president talking about
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the election. And I just found it quite frankly ironic
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that he was standing right in front of the massive
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: building project underway, the massive White House ballroom. And again,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it is a tone deafness coming from the White House
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and coming from the Republican Party, and they don't get it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Here we are, two days removed from the election, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you they don't get it. As
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, the White House is actually blaming
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you for what happened on Tuesday. The Republican Party, they're
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: blaming you, the good voters, for the fact that they
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: got booted out of office. They don't seem to understand
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that the reason why so many people showed up at
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the ballot box and did not vote for them is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: is because they have failed the American people. They have
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: lied to the American people. And that is something that
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to have to figure out, but we're going
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to figure it out together. So I still have hope
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in America, always have, always will. And I hope you
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: have hope in America. I believe in this great experiment.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: The reality is we have to elect human beings first.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to the House of Representatives and the Senate, and they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: are human beings and they are not infallible. But there
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: has been a whole lot of screwing up and screwing
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: around over the past decade or so, and we've got
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to fix that. We've got to nip it in the bud,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: as the late, great Barney Fife would say. So we've
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: got a lot of great guests coming up that are
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: going to help us provide analysis. We're also going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: be taking your calls as well. Do you believe that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: it is the fault of You, the voters, are you
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: guys responsible for what happened on Tuesday? Our telephone number, 901-260-5926.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. Now, let me explain what's going to happen here,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and this is one of the reasons I'm very hopeful.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: These Democrats are bringing crazy town to Washington, D.C. These
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: people are as woke and are as radical as you
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: can imagine a politician being. You've got, for example, in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi did not run. So the new
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: congressman from San Francisco who is replacing Nancy Pelosi is
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a guy named Scott Weiner. And Scott Weiner, you might recall,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is a radical LGBT activist. This is the guy, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: there are plenty of photographs, and you can Google him
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: if you want to. I would caution you, though, because
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: this guy loves the leather chaps scene. And this guy
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: is probably going to show up to Washington, D.C., wearing
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: his buttless leather chaps. But you know what? It's San Francisco.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: What do you want me to do about it? This
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: is a guy who advocates for the pedophiles of America.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: This is a guy who wants to lower the penalties
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for sex crimes in California. This guy is now a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: member of Congress. I'm sure he's going to have plenty
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of freaky deaky friends up on Capitol Hill. No doubt
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: about it. Then there's a guy by the name of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Robert Garcia who is expected to become a very powerful
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: figure in the Congress. And this guy is already telling Republicans,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: all Republicans, that they better lawyer up. This guy also
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: coming out in California and telling Huntington Beach, the citizens
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of Huntington Beach, which is a very conservative town, that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: their goal is to purge MAGA from Huntington Beach, California.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Take a listen. Cut 43.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Also clear that Huntington Beach will elect at least one,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: but likely more, possibly two Democrats to its city council
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: when all the votes are counted. And that is incredibly
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: welcome news as well for this community. And of course,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: I'm proud to represent all of Orange County, but especially
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: here in Huntington Beach.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: And I just want to also.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Be very clear that the days of Huntington Beach are
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: For those who don't know, Huntington Beach is one of
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: the last beaches that isn't flooded with illegals, flooded with trash,
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: flooded with homeless tents. And that's because Republicans are the
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: ones in control. But according to this Democrat, he wants
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: to change all of that. And I hope everyone sees
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: the irony here because it's spelled out perfectly in this comment.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: If he was excited to represent the entire community. He
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: wouldn't be proclaiming that he's going to make sure that
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: part of the community is removed from the community. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: really think about that because he doesn't care about the
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: American people. His entire plan is to represent foreigners and
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: remove MAGA, remove the Americans.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, this was.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: This is very Bolshevik of Congressman Garcia, the Democrat. But
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: this is how they think. I mean, these Democrats, they
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: are bringing the wokest DEI agenda in American history to Washington, D.C.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It is going to be ugly. and they're going to overstep.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And that's going to be the saving grace here, ladies
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, because when it comes to things like, for example,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the transgender ideology, the LGBT stuff,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: when it comes to that, those are 90-10 issues. The
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: American people, they don't want boys running around buck naked
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in their daughter's locker rooms. They just don't. That's un-American.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And I'll give you an example of this. On Tuesday,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: there were four states, and all four of these states
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: had ballot initiatives. And these ballot initiatives banned boys from
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: playing on girls' athletic teams. And some of the states,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it went so far as to ban boys from girls'
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: bathrooms and locker rooms. And all four of those measures
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: passed overwhelmingly. You may say, well, Todd, that sounds fantastic.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Was that Arkansas? Was that Louisiana? No. It was, are
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you ready for this? Washington State. It was Arizona. It
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: was Nebraska. It was Colorado. So we're talking about liberal
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: or moderate, moderately liberal states. And even in those states,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: they get it. The people get it. But the Democrats,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: they don't get it, and they're going to overstep. So
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we have to really just step out of their way
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and let them implode, right? So if the Republicans can
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: do that, then 2028, we could have a fighting chance
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to save the presidency and perhaps retake the U.S. Senate.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But it is going to be a long, hard slog
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: for that to happen. Again, our telephone number, 901-260-5926.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: That's 901-260-5926.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Alabama, you guys getting your very first transgender dude in
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the statehouse. Take a listen.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: The culture war stuff is all to keep us from
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: uniting and being stronger than the billionaires. They are making
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: sure we have less of a chance to stand up
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: to businesses who want to abuse our state and exploit
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: our workers. I'm not going to let that happen to Alabama.
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: It stops with us, with my generation of legislators. That's
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: what I'm all about.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: All right. That's a dude, ladies and gentlemen, in Alabama,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in Alabama. So you've got just a gaggle of leftists
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and far leftists who have won elections at the local level,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the state level. and the federal level. The most dangerous,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: in my estimation, is Abdul El-Sayed, who broke out in
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the Muslim chant after he was declared the winner. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: think we're all going to get to see him for
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: who he really is. But the sad part about all
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: of this is that only 17% of evangelical Christian voters,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: only 17% bothered to get out and vote on Election Day.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Only 17%. You say, what does that tell us? Well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what it says. This is
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why we are launching our very
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: own line of burkas for Baptist women. Because, I hate
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to say this, but all you churches out there, you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: guys suck. You really do. The churches that disengage from
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the culture, the churches, and you have pastors, and they
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: will not deviate. They plot out their sermons for a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: whole year. They will not deviate from their sermons. They
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: will not talk about big issues in the culture because
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: they don't want to offend people. They don't want to
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: get political. I want somebody to show me in the Bible,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: show me in the Bible where it says churches should
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: not be engaging the culture in their communities. I want
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: somebody to show that to me in Holy Scripture because
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: it's not there. It's not there. So shame on all
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of you Christians who did not get out and vote. Well, Todd,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I only vote for pure, honest, godly people. Well, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: hate to break it to you. Jesus ain't on the ballot.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: you're going to find fault with every person running for
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: office has something wrong with them. Every single person. We're
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: all humans. We are flawed. So you can make that argument,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: but if you do, the only person you're going to...
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do? Write in the Lord's
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: name on the ballot as a write-in? Is that what
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you recommend doing? So just something for you folks to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: think about. But again, I get it. This election cycle,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I think people... just reached, they said.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: This is the end of the line. It's the end
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: of the rope. We're done with these lying Republicans. Oh,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: do we have the, we don't have the Ted Cruz.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get you the Ted Cruz audio. This
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: is insane. Ted Cruz fighting back tears, talking about how, well,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you know, It's the gas prices. It's the grocery prices.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You know what, Ted Cruz? I don't want to hear
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: it from you. You had an opportunity to get rid
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: of John Thune, and you didn't do it. So you're
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: just as bad as everybody else in my book. All right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: we're going to take a break. We're going to go
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: to the phone lines, 901-260-5926.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: That's 901-260-5926.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show. Remember back in 2020
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: when the media narrative was absolute, when anybody suggesting early
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: alternatives was instantly silenced and deplatformed? The late Dr. Zev
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Zelenko was right at the epicenter of it all when
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he created Z-Stack and the Zelenko Protocol. He took immense
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: heat for sharing his protocol specifically designed to boost your
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: immune system. Even President Trump himself cited him in a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: press briefing on regarding what would become known as the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Zelenko Protocol, which led to Trump himself adopting it. Now,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I just saw the video on X and saw it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: for myself. Amazing. Every key ingredient behind those protocols was
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: meticulously chosen based on rigorous research at the exact doses
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that matter. Now, over five years later, history has completely
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: vindicated him. Now we all know how critical a strong
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: immune system is. And if you've ever felt helpless watching
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the headlines, hear this. You are not powerless. There is
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: something you can do about it. ZStack gives your body
• 13:52

• 13:55

• 14:26
  Speaker 2: welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And I've got to say hello. We had some lovely
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: folks from Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills, and they're in the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: middle of a cross-country trip from Southern California, making their
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: way to Dollywood. And they stopped by. You know, whenever
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I'm out and I'm speaking to a group, I tell folks,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're ever in Memphis, drop on by
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and say hello. And we had a chance to fellowship
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a little while ago, gave them copies of the brand-new book,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: The Golden Age, How Trump Almost Saved America. And I just–
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That's not the title. That's not the title. But anyway,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: we had a lovely time of fellowship, and I believe
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: they're listening to the Mighty 990, KWAM. I think they're
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: going down to Beale Street, and they're looking for a
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: house in Eads. So welcome to the Mid-South. And I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: got this email from one of our Georgia listeners, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: his name is Kerry. And he writes to me, Todd,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: help me. Carrie, I'm going to do my best. He says, Todd,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I live in Georgia, so I don't have a senator
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to write to, so I will vent and ask for
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: your help. All this finger pointing, and I don't hear
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: anyone talking about what I feel was a major contributor
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to the disaster Tuesday. I did not contribute any money
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: to the Republican Party because I was afraid it would
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: find its way to a lame senator, and I feel
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a large segment feel the Senate let us down by
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: not getting much passed at all. Thune was a disgrace.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't see him do much to push Save America
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: or other bills. Now I see he wants another term
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: as minority leader so the Democrats don't undo what he did.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: What did he do? He needs to step down or
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: resign from the Senate completely. Thanks for listening. I appreciate
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: all you do. Signed, Kerry from Hartwell, Georgia. Kerry, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: feel your pain. And I know if you listen to
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Fox News, they're trying to blame the White House. But
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Fox News needs to be putting the blame where it
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: mostly needs to go, which is Congress. And you're right,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: John Thune needs to go. And I hold every single Republican,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: every single Republican in the Senate, I hold responsible for that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Every single one of them. Not a one called for
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Thune or took action to remove Thune from power. Now,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: there's something else I want to recommend, and I did
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: this personally, and I can tell you I'm a much
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: happier American. I stopped donating to my local Republican Party
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: because they were wasting and squandering my hard-earned money on losers.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: And I've decided that moving forward, I will support a candidate,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: but I will not support the Republican Party. I don't
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: trust them anymore. They can earn back my trust. But
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to take some time. But I was just
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: tired of giving money to a political organization that promised
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: one thing and consistently did another. I also got sick
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and tired of supporting a local Republican Party that went
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: out of its way to stab Republican candidates in the back.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And so I just don't give money to them anymore.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. They're hurting because of that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Jason Gainesville, Georgia, starting our
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: day on WTUN. Jason, what's on your mind?
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Mr.
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: Starnes. I'll get to the point of this. Here in Georgia,
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: I don't believe it's about the gas and the war
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: and all this stuff because Brian Kemp, he cut our
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: gas tax. All right, it kept our gas low the
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: whole time. All right, and Joe Biden, it never got
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: as high as what Joe Biden had it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 18:17
  Speaker 11: We've had all these movie studios moving from California over
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: here to Georgia, and they're all over Georgia. Well, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: they brought thousands and thousands of these people with them
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: from California, and all these people are Democrats. And I
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: think that what's happened is, because there's no way Georgians
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: would have put this lady in office because of what
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: she did, because she never finished her term because she
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: was run out of town to me. Because I know
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: a lot of smart black ladies that would do a
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: great job because it's nothing to do with that. And
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: so I feel like the people that came from here
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: out of town and moved here and brought their politics
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: with them, they put these people in there because John Austin,
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: the Senate, and the Congress here in Georgia voted with
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: Nancy Pelosi, and these people raised our inflation up to 9%.
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: And if you was filling out an application for me,
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: there's no way I would have hired you. You know,
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: I'd have got rid of you and tried to put
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: somebody else in there. And that's the way I feel
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: like all this gas stuff.
• 19:25
  Speaker 13: Same thing with Texas.
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: I don't believe it's like the gas with Texas. The
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: reason why is because they brought all these Muslims in there,
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: and they voted. People from California have been moving to Texas.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So you're talking about this idea of replacement and bringing
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: in a lot of these folks from California and the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: liberal states. Look, no doubt about it, Jason, that did
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: have a lot to do with it. I will say this,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: in Hall County, Georgia, 33% of you folks voted for
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Keisha Lance Bottoms, but 66% voted for Rick Jackson. So
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: there you go. Hang tight, everybody. I'll have more to
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: say about this coming up. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show, and I want
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Luke Ball joining us, the CEO of Compass Strategies. Luke,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: good to have you with us. And there is a
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: lot of soul-searching going on, I have to imagine, in
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Washington right now. And I'm just curious, what do you
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: make of the really catastrophic night that Republicans had?
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Well days weeks before the midterms even showed up it
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: felt like we were sitting around waiting for a funeral
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: and that's essentially what it was we just didn't know
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: who was going to be left standing after election night
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: And there was almost a sense of dread amongst Republicans.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: But I like to look at another side of it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: I think that the Republican Party and the way we
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: stand right now has gotten off course a little bit.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: And the American people were not going to have an
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: opportunity to make that resoundingly clear until election night. It
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: doesn't mean that conservatives are on the back foot. It
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: doesn't mean Republicans can't course correct and come back in.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: A few years.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: But something needs to drastically change. There's There's a difference,
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: number one, between what this same group of people who
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: kicked Republicans out of Washington wanted two years ago and
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: the way that things have gone over the last two years.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: So they liked the promises we made, but they don't
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: like the job we did. So tangibly, instead of talking abstractly,
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: it's obvious, number one, Iran war. You and I have
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: had conversations over the last year about this. We were
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: uneasy about it. We wanted to see the direction that
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: the administration went. And we resoundingly were proven right, or
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: at least I was proven right. I'm not sure if
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: you've given your opinion on the Iran war, but I
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: was just really hesitant to see us get dragged into
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: another Middle East conflict that looked so closely like Iraq.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: And that had down ballot repercussions and it had downstream
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: impacts with our economy. So we're going to start there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: And as we fine tune along the way, it's not
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: just about the war and the economy. It's about doing
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: what you said you promised you would do if you
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: got elected, because we ultimately just have not accomplished on that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Well, no, we have not. And I think there's a
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: lot of blame to go around. I was very surprised
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: to see J.D. Vance's statement that he posted on X. Now, yesterday,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: we were told that the president knew about it. There's
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: new reporting out today suggesting the president did not know
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: about it, and that the vice president was just saying, hey, look,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I'm about to post this on social media. And it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: clear to me that there is a divide in the
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: White House, in the administration, over things like the war.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: For J.D. Vance to come out in the post-mortem and say,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: You know what? Yeah, our pollsters were telling us that
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: people were upset with gas prices and affordability and the war.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? You needed a pollster to tell
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: you that?
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: First of all, there was no way Donald Trump knew
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: about the substance of the post because right after it
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: came out or even in the hours following, he said
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: that he would essentially double down on the Iran war,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: which was antithetical to what J.D. Vance had posted. It's
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: a free-for-all, Todd, in the GOP. And I told Australian
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Broadcasting Corporation, which is a far-left outlet, They were questioning
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: me on some of the stuff, and I was pointing
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: out things conservatives had done well, but also some of
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: the failures we've had. I said, look, if we get
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: blown out of the water, there's going to be a
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: mad dash of at least two dozen household Republican names
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: who are going to be trying to conduct an autopsy
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: and reach the MAGA throne. I was surprised J.D. Vance
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: was first out of the gate with that, because it
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: was a departure. from the current administration. Nobody can deny that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, Joe Biden didn't give Kamala Harris this much
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: wiggle room when they were running in the last election.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: He said, no daylight, kid. And now J.D. Vance is
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: out there in front leading the charge. We're going to
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: see a whole lot more of this moving forward. Frankly,
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: it's a good thing. I don't think that we need
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: to just completely give up on the current administration. But
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: if we didn't have some fine-tuning and some pruning, we
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: weren't going to grow. And I'd lastly say I've compared
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: it to a wildfire. Everything's burning up all around you
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: in the moment, but there's new growth afterwards, and oftentimes
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: it's stronger growth.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Luke, hang tight for just a second. We do have
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: some breaking news to share with our audience.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Breaking news now on the Todd Starnes Show.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: All right, Fox News now reporting that Hermit Dillon has
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: resigned her post at the Department of Justice. Hermit Dillon
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: just did an extraordinary job as Assistant Attorney General for
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Civil Rights. She was nominated by President Trump in 2024
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and was sworn in in 2025, but she is now
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: leaving the Trump administration. We have no other details. Also
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: hearing reports that as many as five cabinet members may
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: be getting close to submitting their resignations. Luke, this is
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: not unexpected. Whenever the midterms come along, there are some
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: changes in the administration. What do you make of this news?
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: I don't remember it happening so quickly after the midterms,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: which is a little surprising to me. Normally, folks wait
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: till the holidays or at least That's what I would
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: have done because the news cycle dies down a little bit.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: It's not so much of a backlash to the administration. It's,
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: fallen out of the midterm timeframe for a new cycle.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: So if folks are doing it this early, it's almost
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: like a breach in the dike or in the dam
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: where people start pouring out after the first couple happen. Now,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I don't want to say there's going to be a
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: mass exodus, but there's also just kind of a natural
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: evolution in Washington. I'm not saying that it's necessarily this administration.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: That's just how the thing operates. If people are going
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: to be focused on the Democrat side with investigations, over
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: the next two years, which, believe me, is all that's
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: going to be happening, no legislating on Capitol Hill, only investigations,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: then I think folks are going to be trying to
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: look for something in the private sector. So there's probably
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: a sense of self-preservation. But I'm more looking to who
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: comes out of the administration and starts defining their own
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: lane and posturing for the next round of presidential elections.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: Because make no mistake, this is 2015 all over again.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: You're going to have 16, 17 people on the debate stage.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: in a matter of months, who are going to be
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: trying to vie for the next leadership mantle. And also,
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: let's be very clear, no one's getting handed this. No
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: one's inheriting the MAGA mantle. Anyone who thinks they're going
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: to do that is going to wind up with one
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: or two percent in the polls. They're going to have
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: to go build it on their own.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Governor Ron DeSantis. Clearly,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: he is going to be running. He came out even
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: before the election and started explaining what was about to happen,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: which which means everybody knew, even the White House knew,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and there's a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what happened in
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the New York Times, and it was very clear they
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: knew five or six days out how bad things were
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: going to be. But DeSantis has come up with a
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: solution here, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: because all of this can be turned around. This was
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: not some sort of a repudiation of the Republican agenda.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: This was punishing the Republicans for not delivering on that agenda.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And here's what Ron DeSantis had to say. Cut 42.
• 27:51
  Speaker 14: I'd roll in cots to the U.S. Senate cloakroom, I'd
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: have them work around the clock, because you are not
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: going to be able to confirm any conservative judges starting
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: January 3rd for the remainder of President Trump's term. They
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: have 54 for sure, they may end up with 56.
• 28:08
  Speaker 14: Even if you got some of these red state Democrats
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: to flip over, you are not going to get six
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: Democrats for a conservative nominee.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: So I would make sure every vacancy.
• 28:19
  Speaker 14: Luke, what.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Do you think about that?
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: The mad dash has begun. He's carving out his own lane.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: I was critical of DeSantis in the first primary because
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: I think it was Donald Trump's moment and another opportunity
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: to come around. vastly different political environment back then. But
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: he's right. And the Senate, unfortunately, is probably not going
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: to do that. I know they're not going to do that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: And they're probably not going to get much accomplished in
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: the next few months as their opportunity.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: To actually deliver on something. Why would they not do that?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, do they not understand what just happened to them?
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: Well, dude, they had two years to do something. A
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: golden opportunity. The House, the Senate, the White House. If
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: they didn't do it then, why are they going to
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: do it now? They're going to be nitpicking. They're going
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: to essentially take advantage of the blood in the water,
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: for lack of a better phrase, like sharks circling politically
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: in order to try and edge ahead their own politics.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: They're going to try to have their own axe to
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: grind politically. So, you know, they're not going to look
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: at what's good for the country, what's good for the GOP.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: They're out for themselves. And if you don't believe me, like,
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: they're not going to suddenly grow a spine and in
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: the last two months of their tenure start actually getting
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: through these individuals. Most of them are just completely tired
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: of the Senate anyway. They just have nowhere else to go.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: And they realize if they leave, they're probably going to
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: go downhill so quickly because of just how old they
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: are respectfully. But that's just what happens. And a lot
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: of the Republicans are just bummed out that they lost
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: their own elections.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Well, it's insane. Insane. Luke Ball... joining us on our
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. On the other side of all this,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: about five minutes ago, Steve Scalise put out a memorandum
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: to House members asking for a list. I think they're
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: compiling a list of people who may become targets for
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the Democrats, and they are prepared for the Democrats engaging
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in retribution, going after anyone that's connected to the Trump administration. Luke,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: one of the saving graces here is the Democrats are
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: going to overstep the moment.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: You're exactly right. I cut my teeth on Capitol Hill
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: when we were in the middle of the Mueller investigations,
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: when the Democrats were coming at Donald Trump incessantly, and
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: it just totally flopped for him. I mean, the J6
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: committee did nothing to move the needle. You remember Republicans
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: were successful in the elections following that. They aren't going
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: to actually accomplish things for the American people because they
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: will refuse to work with Donald Trump on even nonpartisan issues. So,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: What I'm going to be doing over the next few weeks,
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: and I'm actually going back to Capitol Hill. to help
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: work with some new members of Congress who are coming
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: in from our side, is encouraging them to recognize the
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: moment here. Because in the minority, it's communications that seize
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: the day. And we have to have strong, sharp communications,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: arguing and messaging to push back. Because now's our chance
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: to try to show the people, you might have been
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: upset at us for not accomplishing our agenda. We're getting
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: our act together. And watch, for the next two years,
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: the Democrats aren't going to do a doggone thing.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: All right, Luke Ball, great, great commentary and analysis as always.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you hopping on the show today, Luke.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Thank you, my friend.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, everybody. All right, we're
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: going to take a quick break. We're going right to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: our phones, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Ladies and gentlemen, I want
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: to encourage you to get a copy of my new
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: book called The Golden Age. You need to read this
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: book because it is going to provide a blueprint for
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: how we can move forward and how we can reclaim
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: power in Washington, D.C. and put a stop to this
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: radical wokeness and this radical ideology. You can get a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: copy at your favorite bookstore. You can also get a
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: copy on Amazon right now. It can be delivered right
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: to your home. But be sure to read The Golden Age.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: It's available wherever you buy your books. All right, as promised,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: let's go to the phone lines. We will start the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: day in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Maria.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Hi, Maria. What's on your mind?
• 32:48
  Speaker 15: Hi, Todd. I'm calling about election results. And I think
• 32:52
  Speaker 15: that was the result of two things. One, the mass
• 32:58
  Speaker 15: liberal migration to southern cities and states that are conservative.
• 33:04
  Speaker 15: And two, it was about purging out those rhinos. They're
• 33:10
  Speaker 15: elected to be public servants, but when they get to D.C.,
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: that gets cast aside. So we have to ask ourselves,
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: why are they rhinos? You know, they're compromised, most likely.
• 33:25
  Speaker 15: Perhaps the Democrats have some information on them that they
• 33:28
  Speaker 15: can be blackmailed with if they don't vote the way
• 33:31
  Speaker 15: Democrats say. Or maybe the cartels have gotten to them.
• 33:39
  Speaker 15: And also, they didn't pass the Save America Act. They
• 33:42
  Speaker 15: didn't pass the Doge cuts. They are not doing things
• 33:46
  Speaker 15: for America. And regarding J.D., I've noticed over these last
• 33:52
  Speaker 15: couple of years there's something very Mike Pence-ish about him that,
• 33:58
  Speaker 15: you know, there seems to be an undercurrent about him.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Maria, it's interesting you brought up Mike Pence because as
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: soon as I saw what he wrote, I immediately thought
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: about Mike Pence. And, of course, President Trump really considered
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Pence to be just a great betrayer of him for
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: moving forward with the certification of the election. I'm wondering
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes what Trump really feels about J.D.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Vance.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: But here's the problem.
• 34:28
  Speaker 16: J.D.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Vance is very close to the Trump sons, and I
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: think that's where there's a dilemma and there's a little
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: bit of controversy.
• 34:37
  Speaker 17: I agree.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: All right, Maria, thank you for that call. Maria does
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: seem to think that the mass migration of people from
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: liberal states to southern states has been part of the problem,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: and I think that is a lot of it. I
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: also think that the deliberate... invasion of our country by illegals.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Many of those illegals vote Democrat and were placed in
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: typically conservative areas of the country, predominantly in the South.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I have no doubt that that played some role in
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: what happened yesterday. All right, 901-260-5926. Let's go to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Jerry the Liberal. Jerry, you've got to be in a
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: good mood.
• 35:21
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood. I'm in
• 35:22
  Speaker 18: a good mood for America. And you know the reason
• 35:25
  Speaker 18: why Republicans lost? It wasn't because of all these Muslims
• 35:29
  Speaker 18: in Texas. Texas has one cent Muslim population. Tallarica won
• 35:33
  Speaker 18: by a million votes. There's nowhere near that many Muslims,
• 35:36
  Speaker 18: even children, for Tallarica to win in Texas. He won
• 35:40
  Speaker 18: because the Republican Party was rejected by the people of Texas,
• 35:45
  Speaker 18: saying that running out as a vegan was a really,
• 35:49
  Speaker 18: really dumb thing to do. He's not even a vegan.
• 35:51
  Speaker 18: If that's your message, you.
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: Have a message.
• 35:54
  Speaker 18: Donald Trump cared about building a ballroom. He didn't care
• 35:57
  Speaker 18: about inflation. He didn't care about gas prices. He cared
• 36:01
  Speaker 18: about profiting from dollars off his critical meat, damn coin.
• 36:04
  Speaker 18: You know, that's why the Republicans voted for Democrats. There's
• 36:08
  Speaker 18: a reason. They voted against Trump.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Jerry, I'm going to break this down. I don't think
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: you're wrong. I do think that when it came to Tallarico,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: the reality is there were a lot of crossover votes,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Republican defections. That came as a result of Karl Rove
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: and John Cornyn and the Bushes and people who would
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: identify as establishment Republicans. And that was a protest vote
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: against Paxton, which was really a protest vote against Donald Trump.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Trump said that he wanted people to pretend like he
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: was on the ballot. And I understand why he said that.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Now he's saying he didn't say that, but he said it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: And the problem is it's okay if your approval ratings
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: are through the roof, but they were not through the roof.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: And the American voters, Republican voters, are really frustrated with
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: members of their party who constantly promise one thing and
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: deliver something else. And they're just done. And I think
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that was a lot of what happened yesterday.
• 37:10
  Speaker 18: Well, yeah, I think Republicans should be frustrated.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: But it's not an embracement. But Jerry, you're not looking
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: at the American people embracing socialism or political Islam now.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: This was a punishment of Republicans.
• 37:25
  Speaker 18: Well, I mean, I think Republicans should be frustrated with
• 37:28
  Speaker 18: Donald Trump in terms of people he endorsed. Ken Paxton
• 37:31
  Speaker 18: was a horrible candidate, but he was loyal to Donald Trump.
• 37:35
  Speaker 18: Trump endorsed some other horrible candidates. Ken Paxton is a crook.
• 37:39
  Speaker 18: I mean, he's impeached by his own party. You know,
• 37:41
  Speaker 18: he barely wasn't removed as Attorney General of the state
• 37:43
  Speaker 18: of Texas. But he was loyal to Trump. So this
• 37:47
  Speaker 18: is the people that Trump is.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Jerry, we've got a bad phone connection, but I get
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: the gist of what you're saying, and I'm not disagreeing
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: with you at all on this. I think what you're
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: saying is true. I will say this, that this was
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: not some sort of a repudiation of the America First agenda.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: That's not what happened on Tuesday. So we've got to,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: if the Republicans want to win, they've got to re-embrace
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: the agenda and they have to deliver on the agenda.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: If we can do that, we're going to win in 2028.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: And if not, well.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: All you Baptists better go out there and find some burkas.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: All right, got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: our telephone number.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: That's 901-260-5926.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: That's us, that's right. I love this American ride.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Todd Starr.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Hello, everybody.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Hour 2 of the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Very happy to have you with us today. Write down
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. You will need this if you plan
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: on calling in. And the question that we have for
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: this hour, does John Thune deserve another chance in the Senate?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: as leader of the Republicans? Our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Steve Gill, publisher of TristarDaily.com, joins us. Steve, good to
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: have you with us. So you've had a chance to
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: sort of step back and analyze what happened. Do you
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: think the Republicans have learned any lessons here?
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: Hopefully, and it's going to be a very painful lesson,
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: not only for the Republicans, but also for the entire country.
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: And you asked about whether John Thune should still continue
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: as the leader. If John Thune was Japanese and had
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: this disaster played out by him, he would already have
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: a sword stuck in his stomach and be committing ritual suicide.
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: He deserves to be removed immediately and replaced. And I
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: would say the same thing in the House. The Iran war,
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: the gas prices, all of that had a huge contributing.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Factor to what happened.
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: But mainly what happened is because Republicans had control of
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: the House, the Senate, and the White House, and did
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: not do what they said they would do if they
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: were given that power. There were starts and stops.
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: Great.
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: Doge is going to cut $ 2 trillion.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Didn't happen. They promised to do the SAVE Act.
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: And interestingly, Todd, as we look around the country, while
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: Democrats were getting elected in state after state after state
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: by big margins, there were also numerous states that had
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: a ballot initiative to increase election integrity, to.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Require photo ID for voting.
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: And that was passing overwhelmingly at the same time voters
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: were casting votes for Democrats. So if the Senate had
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: taken the SAVE Act seriously and done it, Republicans would
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: have done much better yesterday.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve, also, there were four states, Washington, Arizona, Nebraska,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and Colorado, that actually had initiatives to protect girls from
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: in sports, and all four of those states, those initiatives passed.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: So the voters, I think, were very deliberate in what
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: they did, and they're hoping this serves as some sort
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: of a wake-up call. You know, one of the things
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: that's a little troubling, and you know how these things go,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of leaking coming out of the White
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: House right now, but in some cases, people are going
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: on the record, including Ralph Norman, the congressman from South Carolina,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: He said, talking about Darlene Graham, it really did not
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: have to be this way. Talking about Trump swooping in
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: and basically crowning Darlene Graham as the nominee. Norman said,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: pride goeth before the fall. It's going to be a
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: wake-up call for the Republican Party. It turns out by August,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: polls showed that Republicans had lost their edge with voters
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: on the economy. Trump aides grew deeply concerned in August
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: when internal polling showed voters overwhelmingly blamed Trump for inflation
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: over Democrats. They also saw his poll numbers fall when
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: gas prices rose. Steve, this is it. Advisors, including Newt
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Gingrich and Sean Hannity, and might I add Todd Starnes,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: gently urged Trump to give more attention to affordability. Last night,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Newt Gingrich said, the party had lost the affordability fight.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: What do you make of all of that?
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's exactly right.
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: And I've talked to a lot of friends in South
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: Carolina in the last 24 hours. They are absolutely furious
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: that Trump forced Darlene Graham upon them. And I think
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: I've shared the term people have used. We don't need
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: to have birthright senatorship, which is exactly what they played there,
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: making her a senator because of her birthright with Lindsey Graham.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: And they cost us a congressional race there. It cost
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: us other lower tier races in the state of South Carolina.
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: They're absolutely furious because now they're stuck with this Democrat
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: for the next six years. We're about to see the
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: same thing play out in places.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Like Kansas, in Texas, in California. Mississippi, apparently.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: So this is an epic bloodshed that was completely unnecessary.
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: And I think the economy and Trump's failure to listen
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: and continued failure this week to say the economy is
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: going great. Well, yeah, if you're some Wall Street billionaire
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: in the stock market, well, until today when New York
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: Stock Exchange finally realized, oh, wait, the Democrats are going
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: to be in charge. If they had been talking with
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: sympathy towards what Americans were feeling, rather than trying to
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: convince us that the gas prices aren't that high, that
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: bread doesn't cost that much, that the economy is booming,
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: if they had listened instead of talking, I think we
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: would have fared a lot better.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, Steve, where the Republicans go from here. Clearly,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Ron DeSantis is going to be running for the White House.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Others have been mentioned. Marco Rubio. I think J.D. Vance probably...
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be good for him,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: to be perfectly honest with you. But I'm wondering, where
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: do things go now for the Republicans?
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: You know, I think there are several things that I
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: would point out. You and I have talked for a
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: long time, and you've pointed out on your social media today, Christian.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Voters stayed home again.
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: Typically, 17 million Christian evangelical voters stay home during election
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: seasons when the margins in many of these races, as
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: we look to Mississippi, perhaps, of 3,000 votes are Christian
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: evangelicals sitting on their rear ends rather than turning out
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: and voting for those who reflect our values, our principles,
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: our issues. They're the ones that cost us these races.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: And I think you pointed out in one of your
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: social media posts about 87% of Muslim registered voters voted.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: Only about 17% of Christian evangelical voters voted. We're responsible
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: as Christians for what this country is going to suffer,
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: what we're going to suffer on issues across the board.
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: The second thing is, you know, you and I have
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: been involved in this for a long time in media
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: and politics. You dance with the one that brung you.
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: And what got Republicans in power, among other issues, was immigration.
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: President Trump has secured the border and stopped the influx
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: of illegals, but tens of millions are here sucking up
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: our economy, sucking up our tax dollars, creating crime issues,
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: affordability issues. And Republicans didn't talk about that issue enough,
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: or if at all, in the last couple of months.
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: And as you look at the exit polls, immigration was
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: still one of the top issues on voters' minds. Now,
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: keep in mind, voters didn't vote for the Democrat policies.
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: Their whole policy was, we hate Trump. We really hate Trump.
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: We really, really, really hate Trump. That's not going to
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: translate into a mandate of issues. And Republicans didn't counter
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: that with what we were for, what we would do,
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: what we had to do, and what was coming up
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: that would be done. And we just didn't make the case.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Steve Gill joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: You've got the incoming chair of House Oversight. His name
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: is Congressman Robert Garcia telling Republicans to, quote, lawyer up.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: which on its face is illegal. I mean, they're basically
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: admitting they're going to be using lawfare to go after
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Republicans again. But again, this is, you know, the Republicans,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: they get what they asked for. You know, they did
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: not deliver on the promises to the American people, and
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: now they're screwed.
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: And Todd, you and I have been talking about this
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: for quite some time. I mean, We've been pointing out
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: that if they got power, it would be all investigations,
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: impeachment all the time. I think that overreach is going
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: to hurt them in two years, but we've got some
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: real pain in the next two years.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: And even then, it's going.
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: To be very difficult to reverse course and pick up
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: six Senate seats to be able to start appointing federal
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: judges and Supreme Court justices again. And it's not just
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: the chair of the Oversight Committee saying, lawyer up, we're coming.
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: You now have Jamie Raskin, one of the other top Democrats,
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: who's saying we're coming after corporations. We're coming after individuals.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: We're coming after law firms who've been attached to Trump
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: and the Trump administration. They are literally going to be
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: targeting individuals with punitive measures, with revenge as their driving force.
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: I don't think that's what voters voted for yesterday, even
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: in the states where Again, in Texas, they elected one
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: lady who'd been convicted of a felony and cannot actually serve.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: But they were just voting lockstep for Democrats across the board.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: But I don't think people were voting for the next
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: two years of vindictive, petty partisanship and prosecution from the Democrats.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: So they will pay a price as well. But we're
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: going to pay a price in the meantime.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Real quick about Tennessee. Marsha Blackburn, you know, they had
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: projected she was going to win by 70 points. She
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: won by two points. And Democrats made some big gains
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: in the statehouse. They knocked off a sitting Republican congressman,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Scott Desjarlais. I mean, overall, it was a great night
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: for Republicans in Tennessee compared to other states. But I'm wondering,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: are we seeing the rise of the Democrat Party here
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee?
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think in any substantive and permanent sort of way.
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: You did see in Rutherford County, one of the fastest
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: growing counties in the state, where you've seen a big
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: influx of immigrants, some legal, a lot illegal. You have
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: a large university, Middle Tennessee State University there that now
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: has over 30,000 students, and many of those students are
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: registering to vote in Rutherford County. Three state house legislators
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: were defeated in Rutherford County alone. In Tennessee, the Democrats
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: flipped six seats. Now, Republicans still have a supermajority, but
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: if the Democrats pick up four more seats in the
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: state house, that supermajority is lost and they have a
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: lot more leverage in Tennessee policy.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: I think things will flip back.
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: In two years if Tennesseans and if Republicans nationally do
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: what we need to do to keep our focus on
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: the issues that matter rather than some of the foreign
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: wars and foreign issues that President Trump has been so focused.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: On over the last couple of years.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Steve, we're going to have to leave it there. TristarDaily.com,

• 51:24
  Speaker 10: we got to talk about the midterms. Granted, I was
• 51:28
  Speaker 10: happy with how the midterms went. It wasn't a blue wave.
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: It was more like a blue tsunami wrapped in a
• 51:35
  Speaker 10: F5 hurricane. All I could think about during that night,
• 51:40
  Speaker 10: for one, was when they called both the House and
• 51:43
  Speaker 10: the Senate before like 8.30. For one, that threw me
• 51:46
  Speaker 10: for a loop. I was like, wait a minute, hold up,
• 51:48
  Speaker 10: because I was prepared for an all-nighter or at least
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: until one. But what blew my mind more than anything,
• 51:56
  Speaker 10: one thing I kept thinking about was, imagine somebody telling you,
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: not even 30 or 20, but two years ago, Texas
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: is going to go blue. South Carolina is going to
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: go blue. Kansas. I would have said, okay, who's your dealer?
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: Because that's why I need to get in touch with him.
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: Because he's giving you some good stuff. But I'm just
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: being honest.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: I hear you. I hear you.
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: And so, but after everything was settled, the dust was settled.
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: I mean, we're still counting votes. This election is still, like,
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: not technically over. So we're still going. But All I
• 52:38
  Speaker 10: can think about is, as far as the Republican Party,
• 52:41
  Speaker 10: what do you do for 2028 right now? Because now,
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: as of right now, the presidential election for 2028 is
• 52:52
  Speaker 10: currently underway. As far as maneuvering, who's going to be what,
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: who's the frontrunner, who's the second, you know, fundraising, you know,
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: that's a big deal. You know, and even though, whether
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: we want to believe it or not, Tallarico, El Sayed, Ossoff,
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: they're all frontrunners for 2028.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I would say Ossoff is probably the frontrunner. Tallarico
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: is too young, and he's going to have to make
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: a name for himself in the Senate. I would suggest
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: that Ossoff may be the guy. If party leaders are
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: okay with going with a white guy, a straight white guy,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's going to be a problem for some
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: of the DSA crowd and the Democrat Party, who truly
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: believe that there needs to be a candidate of color,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: and it probably needs to be a female. My argument
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: for you, Democrats, is you tried Hillary, that didn't work,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: and you tried Kamala, that didn't work.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: But I think Ossoff may be the guy.
• 54:02
  Speaker 10: But my question is, who on the Republican side is
• 54:06
  Speaker 10: going to be that guy? Because here's the thing. After Tuesday,
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: we saw that Trump's agenda is unpopular, and it was
• 54:17
  Speaker 10: soundly rejected by places that have went solidly red for
• 54:23
  Speaker 10: a generation, and in some cases, several generations.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Arnaz, let me jump in here because I do want
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: to answer your question, and we are coming up on
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: the break, but we've got some time here. I think
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: right now that Ron DeSantis is going to be running
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: for president, and he will be the frontrunner for right now.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is because Florida did win.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: They did what needed to be done in Florida. I
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: don't think this is a repudiation of the Trump agenda.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's a repudiation of the fact that Trump
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: veered off of the agenda with this war in Iran.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: So again, I truly believe that the Republicans were actually
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: punishing their party for not doing what they promised to
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: do on the campaign trail. So I still think it's
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: a winning formula. I mentioned DeSantis, probably Marco Rubio, I
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: would suggest that Glenn Youngkin, the former popular governor of Virginia,
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: he could be in the mix as well. But I'm
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: thinking right now DeSantis is the odds on favorite.
• 55:27
  Speaker 10: Well, I can't say Youngkin because isn't Youngkin like, isn't
• 55:31
  Speaker 10: he 70? I'm not sure.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: He's a younger guy. Yeah, he's a younger guy.
• 55:37
  Speaker 10: Okay. And the thing is, and I'm going to let
• 55:40
  Speaker 10: you go with this, but my question is, considering how
• 55:44
  Speaker 10: the elections went, how close, How much of the MAGA
• 55:48
  Speaker 10: agenda is the candidate for 2028 on the Republican side
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: going to rely on to hopefully keep the White House
• 55:57
  Speaker 10: in the Republican Party?
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: That's a fair question. I think the MAGA movement itself
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: is waning. I think there will be parts of it
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: that are kept alive. But ultimately, I think that ends
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: when President Trump leaves office. I really do, Arnaz. And
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: And look, there's going to be a lot of soul-searching
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: on the Republican side of the aisle. But the Democrats, Arnaz,
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: they're going to go slap crazy. They're going to way
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: overstep the mark, and I have no doubt about that.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Given the opportunity, some of them would actually put all
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: of us in jail. So that is what I'm hoping happens,
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: because I think the voters are going to step back
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: in and right the ship. Arnaz, I've got to run,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: but thank you for that call. Look, I'm conciliatory. I mean,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: we botched this thing. What do you want me to say?
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: 901-260-5926.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: I also believe that it's all salvageable. It's all fixable.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: More of your calls coming up next. All right, welcome
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I've got some
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: analysis up on my website over Fox News Channel. These
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: are really shocking numbers, but I think they've lost more
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: than a quarter of their audience. People are People are
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: turning off Fox News Channel. And I'm wondering if any
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: of you have done that. Have you stopped watching Fox News?
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Down 27% from October of last year to where we
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: are now. And I shared a few thoughts on this
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: in our piece we've got up at ToddStearns.com, our great
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: crew writing this content. And I loved it. the years
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: that I worked at Fox because the team really was
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: focused on fighting every single day for the values that
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: made our nation great. But most of those people are
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: gone now. They have long since either retired, they've been fired,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: contracts were not renewed, my contract was not renewed, and
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: the new era of the network is really more about
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: short skirts and movie star looks and less about conservative
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: and Christian values. And one of the things I've noticed
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: about the Fox, the new Fox network, is that many
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: of the new hires are conservative in name only. They
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: get paid to be conservative, and there just are not
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: that many principled conservatives left in the building. Now, also,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: they pander to evangelical Christian voters, and there's absolutely zero
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: authenticity when it comes to the Christian faith on that network.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: And it is so cringey. Every time, and you know
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, these anchors will just casually name-drop
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Jesus while many of those same people are engaged in
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: behavior that would repulse our Lord. And these viewers, they
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: know when somebody is not being authentic. I mean, it's
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: all performative, and that's a sad situation there. But again,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: President Trump blaming what happened Tuesday on Fox News. I
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: don't know about that, but I can tell you that
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: people are turning off Fox. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. I
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: want to bring into the conversation Chad Conley, the president
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: of Faith Wins. Chad, we've been analyzing some of the
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: numbers coming in. 17% of evangelical voters engaging in the
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: political process on Tuesday. Are you disappointed in those numbers?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 16: Oh, man, great to be with you. Obviously, I'm disappointed,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 16: but I'm actually not totally surprised. I told you when
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 16: we were together personally, and I try not to say
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 16: it on the air as much because we were working
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 16: on it, right? We were telling people Christians ought to
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 16: vote no matter what, no matter who's on the ballot.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 16: It's always the choice of two human beings. Look at
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 16: the policies and the outcomes. And people are just so
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 16: attracted to the glitz or the ads or who says
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 16: the happy talk. And let's face it, a lot of
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 16: the unfulfilled promises from the Trump administration are things that
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 16: suppressed the conservative vote. They feel like, my goodness, we
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 16: can't get the Save America Act passed. I heard that
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 16: just about everywhere. The ongoing war in Iran, the gas prices, people,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 16: those things affect people. We fought it every day.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: But you know what?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: I'm encouraged.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 16: Man, I had some, I talked to you from a,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 16: church in Pennsylvania last week, and we talked about the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 16: fundamentals not being done. I told you my reservation was
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 16: I don't see the party, the committees, the campaigns doing
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 16: any authentic outreach to the base. I talked to a
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 16: donor who said that Senator Thune told them, well, we
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 16: didn't pass the Save America Act because nobody wants it
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 16: but the base.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 16: It's like an 80% number. But I think that's the
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 16: prevailing thought. And we lose the majority because we don't
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 16: push conservative principles that we promised.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: I think that's what happened.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Chad, I'm curious about South Carolina. I know you're also
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: the former chair of the South Carolina Republican Party. What
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: happened there?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: Stunned.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 16: Well, the last numbers I got, Todd, and it was
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 16: a big part of our confidence was The last numbers
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 16: of the most trusted pollster we use in South Carolina
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 16: said Alan Wilson for governor was going to win by 15. Well,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 16: he won by like seven. And we felt like behind
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 16: the scenes, because Darlene's an unknown, because Annie Andrews is
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 16: giving the happy talk that I mentioned, because she campaigned
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 16: for 18 months, because Darlene was on a steep learning curve,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 16: Alan Wilson had to win by 10. That was what
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 16: we were saying to each other behind the scenes. He
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 16: won by less than eight. And I think that sealed
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 16: the fate for Darlene. The other thing that was interesting,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 16: the split ticket. We really haven't had much of that
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 16: in South Carolina. But I'll tell you, the way that happened,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 16: a lot of people thought Darlene was going to be
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 16: a placeholder. And then when she started running, it created
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 16: a chasm. You and I talked about that too offline.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 16: And I think it was very surprising. Darlene won Greenville.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 16: I mean, Andy Andrews won Greenville County, Todd. She won
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 16: Berkeley and Dorchester County. Those are deep red districts. But
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 16: it wasn't just South Carolina. It was really across the nation.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 16: I think it was a big frustration with the unfulfilled promises,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 16: the gas prices, stuff like that. And Annie Andrews and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 16: the Democrats did a good job of capitalizing.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Well, Chad Conley joining us, president of Faith Wins. You know,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: we're looking at the numbers coming out of Texas. We
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: were so happy earlier this year, the State Board of
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Education announced They came out and they put the Bible
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: back into curriculum there in the state of Texas. But
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: now the Democrats in Texas gained enough power to literally
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: reshape parts of the state for decades. They're suggesting that
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are going to take over the Board of
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Education and will probably do away with the mandatory Bible
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: readings in public schools. I mean, Chad, this is literally
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: all over the country, save, I believe, Florida and perhaps Tennessee,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: which we were very lucky because a lot of those
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: races could have been lost.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 16: Yeah, listen, I think in a bigger sense, I was
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 16: in Texas doing Christian TV Tuesday. They swept Texas. Kansas
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 16: hasn't had a Democrat senator in almost 100 years. But
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 16: I was in front of a TV audience on some shows,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 16: and I asked them, I said, how many of you
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 16: know that violent crime in the cities is at a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 16: year 1900 level? 1900, nobody knew it. How many of
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 16: you know that President Trump's policies have created the lowest
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 16: poverty rate ever recorded, ever?
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 6: They didn't know it.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 16: And I think a lot of that comes because In
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 16: President Trump's zeal to get through the media block, he
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 16: talked about a lot of stuff and it gave ammo
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 16: to the media to talk about anything but the good news.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 16: And Reagan was a hero of mine and yours because
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 16: he learned how to break through by staying on message.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 16: And we know President Trump's trying to cover all these bases.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 16: He talks two hours at a time and it opens
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 16: him up to them finding the shiny object to go chasing. Listen,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 16: this was an epic, epic defeat. But the pendulum always swings.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 16: I promise you these lefties are going to go so nuts.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 16: There's going to be so much buyer's remorse. I think
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 16: it's going to actually bode well for the future. God's
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 16: on the throne. Our friend Bob McEwen's line, we might
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 16: find out. that God knows what he's doing. Jimmy Carter
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 16: gave us Ronald Reagan. 2020 gave us 2024. This isn't over.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 16: We got to stay in the fight. We got to
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 16: realize what's at stake. And we got an education thing
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 16: to do, especially the younger people who bought into all
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 16: this nonsense.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, no doubt about that. And I also think
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: that the White House, and this is really going to
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: have to, I don't even know if anybody can have
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: this conversation with the president, but I think we're getting
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: too much of the president. and they've just got to
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: reel it back in. People are exhausted, and so again,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: I think the president, and the problem is he's out
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: there so much. When there are big items that need
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: to be addressed, it's all watered down. It's diluted, so Chad,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You may completely disagree with me on that.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: That's fine. I just feel like we're seeing too much Trump.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 16: I'm a million percent with you. I had a pastor
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 16: tell me the day I was with you, apparently Trump
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 16: mentioned This rapper who's with him, and I don't know rappers,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 16: but there's a rapper who was with him the day
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 16: I talked to you a week ago today who said,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 16: Trump's got a great story to tell, and he's talking
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 16: about a rapper's big behind.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: Remember that?
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Nicki Minaj.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 6: Nicki Minaj, that's it.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 16: And I said something to him like what you just
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 16: said is, Trump's zeal to get out there out ahead
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 16: of the media because they're not covering the good stories.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 16: He's talking about so many things. He spent 60 seconds
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 16: in Rock Hill, South Carolina the other day on the economy,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 16: and he spent more time on things that don't matter.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 16: I'll tell you another thing, and I think people ought
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 16: to pull this thread, Todd. Remember when they wanted to
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 16: redistrict last spring? I was on a couple phone calls
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 16: with leaders in South Carolina, and we saw the White
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 16: House map. And they were like, this is a bad map, guys.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 16: And it was from the White House political shop. South
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 16: Carolina resisted. Texas and Florida bought into it.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: Remember that?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 16: There were nine seats drawn for stronger Republicans. Do you
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 16: know the Democrats took, I think, eight.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 6: Of those Tuesday?
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: Eight of those.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 16: So they got too cute by half. then fought the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 16: redistricting battle in the middle of a term instead of
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 16: doing the fundamentals.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big deal.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 16: That goes to the White House political shop. I think
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 16: that's malfeasance, brother.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: So again, and I think the good news here is
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: this is not a repudiation of the agenda. This was
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: a reaction to the Republicans not delivering on the agenda.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 16: I completely agree with that. I told you that story
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 16: about Thune and the donor we were with. who had
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 16: said that. And that was Thune's response. And Senator Thune.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: Said, we don't have the votes.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 16: And he's like, we have 53.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: You don't even bring it up.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 16: And I do think part of that is the ripple
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 16: effect of President Trump recruited against some of those incumbents.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 16: And they just decided, I'm not going to do anything
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 16: to help. And they literally were more concerned about their
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 16: seat than they were for the country. We missed an
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 16: incredible opportunity having all the levers of power. It may
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 16: take us some time to get it back. But listen,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 16: these people are crazy. They're going to do nutso things.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 16: I don't know if you saw that DSA lady who's
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 16: been all over Twitter, 49 trillion. She won't say that's
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 16: the number of their programs, but that's where they're headed
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 16: is to cripple the nation. We just got to have
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 16: a lot more people get educated and figured out. And
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 16: believe me, I'm doubling down. Dana and I came to
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 16: the beach to take a little bit of a rest,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 16: but our teams are doubling down. I'm more confident in
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 16: the pastors we found doing the work of the future
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 16: and telling people this is a big deal. Maybe sometimes
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 16: you got to hit bottom a little bit before.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: You bounce back.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: All right, Chad, we're going to have to leave it there,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: my friend. As always, I appreciate your great analysis. Thanks now.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: Love you, brother.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: All right, there we have it, 901-260-5926. I do want
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: to go to the phones. Quinn has been holding on
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: for a while, listening to us in Crosby, Texas, on
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Patriot Talk 920. All right, Quinn, how are you guys
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: holding together there?
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 20: Well, let's talk about puke. Very disappointed. I could never dream.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 20: I lived in Texas in 1974. I have never dreamed
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 20: that Texas turned blue. That's because we took things for granted, Pat.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 20: Here's the thing, the Trump missed a lot of points
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 20: when he runs, like he goes to rally. He didn't
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 20: explain to the people why he would have Iran war.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 20: Nobody runs for Joe Biden when he will end the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 20: gas at $ 5 something a gallon. And the eggs are
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 20: $ 7 a dozen, and milk almost $ 6 a gallon. But no,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 20: the congressmen went out for the rally. They never bought
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 20: it up, except on the news. Go back to Fox News.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 20: I canceled Fox News and Newark that far. I stopped
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 20: watching them. I'm a strictly Newmark and ON. But here
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 20: the people vote for Democrats this time because they want
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 20: a free abortion because Greg Abbott do not agree on that.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 20: So he put the stop to that. But I don't
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 20: know people explain to me why Texas go to blue.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 20: The only thing I would think of The people want
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 20: everything for free. They're nothing for free to this country.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 20: You have to work for. These young people get to
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 20: bring wars. They have a rule of waiting. They have
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 20: a rule of waiting. They go cut 40 lines. Now,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 20: I have one thing for Karl Rove. He needs to
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 20: move on, change the party, go to Democrats. He don't
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 20: belong to the Republicans. Osher Cornyn, hatred. I know his
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 20: whole family do not vote for the Republicans. I don't
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 20: know that's a fact, but that's what I believe. And
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 20: Osher Bush.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Well, Quinn, I know you're a great American patriot. You
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: came here many, many years ago as a legal immigrant.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: and have really lived an American dream kind of story.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: And we appreciate you calling in because your opinion really,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: truly matters as we watch the rise of communism in
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: this country. And it's going to be a very, very
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: difficult road if we allow that to fester. Quinn, I've
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: got to run, but thank you for that call. Hang tight, everybody.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. All right, let's go to Waterloo, Iowa.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: Independent on the line. What's going on, Mr. Independent?
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 21: First of all, so much for the Dow post-pop, you know,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 21: at midterms. The Dow was down almost 1,600. The Nasdaq's
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 21: down 1,300. So, so much for that, Todd.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 21: Yeah, and then the other thing is, the thing you're
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 21: thinking of, remember when Fox, remember what they used to
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 21: call it, Todd, before I get to my question here,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 21: but remember what they used to call Fox?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. What did they used to call Fox?
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 21: Fair and balanced.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. They did.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they did.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 21: When Hannity and Combs, fair and balanced. Anyway, Todd, the
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 21: other thing is, Mr. Trump was here, and I told you,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 21: I voted for you, remember, probably when I told you
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 21: I voted for him three times, and then he changed
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 21: in the second term.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 22: He really did.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 21: He changed, like, in the third term. But he hardly
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 21: ever talked about the economy. He just talked about himself
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 21: making comments, you know, like rear ends and all that.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 21: I don't understand it, Todd. What's up with that? And
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 21: today alone, do you know what he said today? You
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 21: know what he said.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 13: Today, Todd?
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Independent, we can do this. You can ask all the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: questions for the next five minutes, or you can just
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: get to your point. What's your point?
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 21: Well, I'm just asking, Todd, did you know what he
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 21: said today?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know what he said today. What did
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: he say?
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 21: He said he was talking about rebuilding the White House again.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, great. Okay.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 21: And then I talked to you when I told you
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 21: about those 700 cars, and I told you the writing
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 21: was on the wall. But nobody listened to me. I
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 21: talked to so many people. They were feeling pain and
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 21: they were saying Trump doesn't get it.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 10: He don't get us.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 21: He doesn't understand us. But did anybody listen?
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: All right, great. Thank you for the call. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: let me explain how this works when you call in.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: It is not to ask question after question after question
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: after question. If you've got a point to make, make
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: the point. Otherwise, it wastes people's time, and we have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks wanting to come on the program
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: and talk about issues. So, again, if you're a liberal
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: or an independent or whatever– get to the point. It's
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: really not all that difficult. It's really not. All right, 901-260-5926.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. Coming up in the next hour of the program,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: we've got some audio from Byron Donalds. Also, you folks
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: in Georgia, You pretty much all, I think all but
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: one of the top leadership positions in the state are
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: going to be controlled by black women. And they're talking
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: about diversity, but there's no white people. So I guess
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: it's very diverse. Diversity means no white people. And so
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: you guys in Georgia have a lot of diversity. You've
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: got a new ag commissioner. who wants to turn your state, Georgia,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: into South Africa. And we're going to play some audio
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: from her coming up after the break as well.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 21: 901-260-5926.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting coast to coast and border to border from Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: I love this American ride.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: Todd Starrs.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, hello everybody. Welcome to hour three of the big show.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: I want to go to the phone lines. We had
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: a fella holding over during the top of the hour
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: news break. His name is Charles from Gainesville, Georgia, listening
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: to us on WTUN. And Charles wanted to bring up
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: an issue regarding voting fraud. Charles, what's going on?
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 12: Hey, Todd. I just wanted to say thanks for what
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 12: you're doing. And I just have one concern. I mean,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 12: what have they done about the casting and counting of
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 12: these votes? From my perspective, I haven't seen any real change.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 12: And I'm not convinced that our voting systems are proper.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 12: And that's all. I'll hang up and listen.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Well, Charles, before you hang up, is there something specific?
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: So when it comes to voting fraud, is there something
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: specific that you're concerned about?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 12: Well, specifically the machines that we use, but no specific details.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 12: I just don't believe that.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 12: The votes that have been casted and were counted are
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 12: actually being done appropriately.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: So do you believe that if it had been a
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: fair election, so I'm assuming your premise is that there
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: was voting fraud, rampant voting fraud. So you believe that
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: without the fraud, Republicans would have had a, there would
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: have been a, what, a red tsunami?
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 12: You know, I can't say that. I just have to
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 12: go by my gut feeling. And my gut feeling says
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 12: that the voting systems in this country, have not been
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 12: resolved for the good.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Well, and that may be the case. I can tell
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: you there have been no reports, no allegations coming from
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: really anywhere of substantive voting fraud. And it would almost
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: be next to impossible unless there was a vast conspiracy
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: involving every single state in the union. And I say
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: that because these are the midterm elections we're talking about.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: So These were all localized issues in many cases. It's
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: not to say that the previous issues have not been remedied,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: because that's true. They have not. I still think, though,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: that this is just a good old-fashioned butt-whooping, Charles. I
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: think at the end of the day, the Republicans, they've
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: been asking for this.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 12: You're right. I'm not going to argue that point.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's frustrating. And look, the fact of the matter
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: is in places like California, let me just say this.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: In California, just hundreds of millions of dollars was invested
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: in the Steve Hilton race. And I'm going to tell you, look,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't vote for the guy because I don't live
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: in California. But I feel somewhat liberated now to say
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: what is on my mind about all these folks because
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: we have been selecting very, very bad candidates. And I
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: know everybody thinks, oh, Steve Hilton, he was on Fox News. Great.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: About 2 million people watch Fox News in the entire country.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: And a good many of them were not watching Steve
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Hilton's program. That does not make someone a good candidate
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: just because they're on Fox News channels. So, you know,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: it's frustrating, no doubt about it. Charles, I feel your pain.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: But in this go-around, I'm not seeing any reports of
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: actual voter fraud. And honestly, it's interesting that Trump hasn't
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: brought it up because normally he would bring something like
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: that up almost immediately. But even the president is keeping
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: pretty quiet about that. Charles, thank you for the call.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 7: Look.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: All I can do on this program is provide guidance
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: and advice. Am I an expert?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: I've been doing this a very long time. I'm a
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: pretty good read of the American people. I hear what
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: you guys are talking about. I hear what's on your minds.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: And I know many of you have been very frustrated
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: for a very long time. And I convey that to
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: the elected leaders who who reach out, who ask for
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: my opinion, and I appreciate it when they do that,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm very honest and forthcoming. I remember several years ago,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: the House Freedom Caucus invited me to come up and
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: speak at a breakfast. They wanted to know what the
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: people were thinking, and I told them. Now, if you
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: ask my opinion and you don't take that advice or
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: that guidance, well, ultimately, that's on you. That's not on me.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: That's on the people in Congress. So we're going to
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: get through this together, ladies and gentlemen, no doubt about it.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm feeling pretty good and pretty jubilant that we're
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: going to do that together. So look, there is a woman,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: and she is the new agriculture commissioner. She's one of
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: a number of black women who were elected in Georgia.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: She wants to turn Georgia into South Africa. So basically,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: she's got a program where she's going to give money
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: to black farmers and not white farmers. So if you're
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: a white farmer in Georgia, you won't be getting any
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: money from this gal. Her name is Catherine Arnold. She
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: defeated Tyler Harper to become the new agriculture commissioner. And
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: here's what she had to say.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 19: The thing that we were talking about in making at
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 19: the Black Print.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 19: We have the budget to allocate funds for our Black farmers,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 19: for our beginning farmers, for people who have a disconnect.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 19: Like I was telling you about Richland, Georgia.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 19: My great-great-grandmother, she had land down there. I didn't know
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 19: about it until I started farming. It got caught up
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 19: in heirs' property.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 19: It's sold now. So the re-education piece, we have to
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 19: dedicate resources to re-educate our community so they understand what
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 19: to do.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: So there you have it. And I hate it for
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: all you white farmers out there. Good luck to you. But,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: you know, congratulations if you're a black farmer. Man, the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: government's going to bend over backwards to help you in Georgia.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: But all you white farmers, nope, not going to happen.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: Not going to happen. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. You
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: think I'm making this up? No, you just heard it
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: for yourself. That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Mike, listening to
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: us on WINC, our great affiliate there in Virginia. Hi, Mike,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 23: Hey, I was calling in. I just found it very interesting.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 23: Read an article, I believe it was yesterday, that pointed
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 23: out that... There were five of the Democrats who were
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 23: elected were actually pastors. It's been a long time since
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 23: faith has been a part of the Democratic platform, and
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 23: evidently it's working. And I was wondering your opinion. I
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 23: think that is a platform that will continue into the future.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting, Mike. Yeah, they are ministers. I'm not
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: quite sure you could call them ministers of the gospel.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: These are radical leftists. So I would say that from
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: the liberal progressive churches, this is a moment for celebration.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: And to your point, and you're right, there were five,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: and I want to run through those if I can, Mike.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: The most prominent are Two, Adam Hamilton, who is a
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: radical pastor of a church in Kansas, mega church, that
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: actually hosts drag shows, drag queen story hour, things of
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: that nature. Adam Hamilton, a Democrat in Kansas. Also, James Talofrico,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: who is the Presbyterian seminarian, who believes that God is
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: non-binary and that the Bible promotes abortion. There is a
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: woman by the name of Sarah Garriott from... Iowa, and
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: she is a Lutheran minister who was elected to the House.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: James Lindsay, a Presbyterian minister from the state of Iowa,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: elected to the House. And a guy by the name
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: of Frederick Haynes, who is the pastor of a church
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: in Texas, he was elected to the House of Representatives
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: as well. So those are the five, and so you're correct, Mike.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: What I find fascinating about this is that the progressives
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: are very politically active, right, on the church side. The evangelicals,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: not so much anymore. And I think that's one of
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: the reasons why you're seeing these radical progressive pastors elected.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 23: I would agree with that. And I think that it's
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 23: going to become even more so that that message of,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 23: let's say, faith or the gospel or Christianity, is going
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 23: to continue to resonate with folks that are maybe feeling
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 23: a little bit alienated by the Republican Party. So I
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 23: was just curious your opinion on it, and I appreciate it.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, Mike, thank you for calling in. Thank
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: you for listening.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: You know, this Haynes guy did not answer. He's a
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: Baptist preacher in Texas. did not answer about whether or
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: not he is pro-life. Seems to me if you're a
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: pastor and you're not pro-life, then you're a minister of
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: the devil. That's just my opinion, though. Let's go to Bartlett, Tennessee. Mark,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: listening to us on KWAM.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: Hi, Mark.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: What's on your mind today?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 13: Hey, Todd. Yeah, I listened to you with Charlie Hatcher
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 13: this morning, I believe.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 10: It was, right?
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 13: I mean, this guy will not answer a question.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: No, he will not.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 13: He will not answer a question. And the Republicans are just,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 13: I don't know what they think their job is. But,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 13: you know, I'm a regular guy. I'm just a regular guy.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 13: If I was running, you ask me what I'd do.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 10: I'll tell you what I would do.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 13: I would do every night.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 10: Hold on just a second.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: Mark, hold on a second. You're breaking up a little bit.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to put you on hold. And we're
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: going to get that caught because I want to hear
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: what you have to say. So hang tight. And we're
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: going to get that worked out. We had Charlie Hatcher,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: who's a new guy, just got elected to Congress. And
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: we asked him very simple questions. Who are you going
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: to support for leadership? Well, you know, I don't know.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: I haven't really thought about that. What do you think
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: the first big thing is you guys are going to do?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure all that out. You're just like, dude.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: All right, Mark, I think we got you back. Go
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: ahead and finish your thought.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I'm a very plain person. Look, you
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 13: ask me what I'm going to do, I'm going to
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 13: try to get us off of the global market for
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 13: our oil practice. I'm going to build prisons. You know,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 13: it's real simple. But if you don't want to answer
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 13: the question, you're a liar. You just want the job
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 13: for the job so that you can get rich. I
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 13: don't blame President Trump. I blame all the Republicans that
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 13: went there and didn't do anything. They didn't do anything
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 13: they said they would do.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 10: Look, I still voted for them.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 13: I still will vote for them. But it's so frustrating
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 13: to have them go up there and absolutely, when they
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 13: got the power, do nothing.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: Mark, I'm with you. Look, I did the same thing.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: I voted for them. It doesn't mean I'm happy about it,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: but I can promise you this, Mark. They're never getting
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: a single penny from me. I've learned my lesson on that.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 13: I'm not going to give them a penny either. And, Todd,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 13: I've got to say, I won a book, your new book,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 13: The Golden Age. And it came today.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: It is beautiful.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 10: It was a hardback book.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 13: It has a beautiful dust jacket. I haven't had a
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 13: chance to even open it. it, but man, what a
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: beautiful book.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: Well, Mark, thank you for that. And I'll tell you,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: the designer, a guy by the name of Joseph Huntley,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: and just a great patriot, but an incredibly brilliant artist,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: and I think he just did a phenomenal job. The
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: book is halfway decent, if I'm honest. I'm just kidding.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: It's actually a good book. You'll enjoy it, Mark.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 13: I can't wait to read it.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: All right, bye.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 13: Thank you for being optimistic, and I'm glad I'm getting
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 13: to hear it. Liz speaks now that the president.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 18: Everybody's mad at the.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 13: President for being who he is, and I'm not. I'm
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 13: mad at that do-nothing Republican.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: No, I hear you. Look, I am a little frustrated
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: with the president, but that doesn't mean I don't like him.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: I don't support him. You know, it's okay. I'm sure
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: he gets frustrated with a bunch of folks, probably me too.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: But I just want him to succeed, and I just
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: did not want him to get impeached, and that's what
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: they're going to do. And that bothers me because this
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: man put it all on the line for his country.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: And I don't see anybody else in politics, at least
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: in modern political history, who has literally put everything on
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: the line for this country. So I get why he
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: gets frustrated. I get why he says what he says
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: and does what he does. But we're just all trying.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: There are people out there who only care about him.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: They're not in it for themselves. And I just happen
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: to be one of those people. Never asked him for
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: a job. Never asked him for a single penny. And,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: you know, I never will. You know, there's no need
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: for me to. I just want him to succeed, and
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: that's all. Mark, thank you for the call. 901-260-5926. Let's
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: go to Kentucky, Pastor John. All right, Pastor John, what
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: say you?
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: Why the giggles?
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 24: You think I want to say something crazy, Todd?
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 25: Something that I normally don't say that's crazy?
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely I do. So go ahead, Pastor.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, Todd.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 24: Well, Todd, I'm going to tell you something. You know,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 24: you just talked about Georgia, right? I was listening. Correct
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 24: me if I'm wrong. I always love it because when
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 24: you correct me, you correct me in a loving way.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 24: A lot of the rural areas also voted for the Democrats.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 24: Am I correct on that?
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 24: Now, this is what I'm going to say to them.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 24: You guys better get ready to have your property taxes
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 24: raised in Georgia. Those farmers, those Caucasian farmers, They're going
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 24: to try to take your land. You mentioned South Africa.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 24: See what they try to do to them in South Africa.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 24: Every voter that voted and turned their state, be prepared
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 24: for the worst. You are like the disobedient children of
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 24: Israel that got kicked off at God because you couldn't
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 24: get your satisfaction done right away. And look exactly what happened.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 24: You wandered in the wilderness for 40 freaking years. And
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 24: Moses one time just threw his arms up in the
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 24: air and said, Lord, I'm tired of them. And then
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 24: God was going to say, well, let me strike him down.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 24: Moses said, no, don't. Show them mercy. And God showed
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 24: them mercy, but he had to do something to that
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 24: nation before they straightened their butts out. Todd, you're a
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 24: man of faith. We got to January.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 18: 3rd, 2027.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 24: You better hang on to your bloomers because there's some
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 24: serious crap that's coming down the pike on January 3rd, 2027.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 24: And Todd, you warned everybody. I know you're frustrated with
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 24: the Republicans, but let me tell you something. That tax
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 24: cut saved our family. That tax cut, we were able
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 24: to do things. And if you look at the statistics
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 24: under Biden, compare the inflation rate. You folks did not
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 24: study the issues. And what you did, you voted by
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 24: your emotions. And now you just screwed yourselves.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 10: I love you, Todd.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: Well, God bless you, Pastor John. And look, I do
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: appreciate your calls. I really do. I will say this,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: that rural Georgia did come out. I mean, the big
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: question was North Georgia and South Georgia and whether or
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: not they would come out, specifically South Georgia. And they did.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: But the reality is the Democrat vote surged, and it
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: was just too much. Look, Rick Jackson spent over $ 200
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: million of his own money to try and get himself elected,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: and it was not enough. It just was not enough.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: I'll say this about the Jackson campaign. They did a
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: lousy communications job, to be perfectly blunt about it. They
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: did not let that guy get out and do the
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: interviews and do the things that he needed to do
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: to let people know who he was and what he
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: was really all about. And, again, it was just a really–
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: they ran a lousy campaign. And that's on Rick Jackson
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: and his team. Oh, got to take a break. We'll
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: be right back.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. Good to have you with us.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: So I want to try to illustrate for you just
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: how dangerous these left-wing radicals are. Ladies and gentlemen, go
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: back to a survey we shared with you, and I've
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: got this in my book, The Golden Age, talking about
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: the frightening number of Democrats who believe that political violence
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: is okay. That's That's what concerns me. We're going to
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: play this coming up after the break here. Just some
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: insane audio to illustrate that point. Also, we're going to
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: get to your calls.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: Again, that's 901-260-5926. Hang tight, everybody. We will be right back.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: All right, not even 48 hours, folks. Barely 36. Congressman
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: Jamie Raskin, who will be the incoming chair of House
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: Judiciary Committee, has promised in an interview that the Democrats
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: will advance on a procedure that will lead to universal
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: gun registration. So all of you Second Amendment folks, this
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: coming from the National Association for Gun Rights, that House
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: Judiciary Chair Jamie Raskin promising that universal gun registration would
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: be one of their top priorities in the upcoming Congress.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926. Colin
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: in Georgia listening to us on WDUN. Colin, I understand
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: that you're a young minister. Is that right?
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 25: How are you doing there, Todd?
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well. Thank you for asking, Colin.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 25: This is actually really cool because I wasn't expecting this. But, man,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 25: I live in North Georgia. We just lost the election,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 25: you know, for governor. And my generation is so screwed
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 25: up that they really do need Jesus Christ. But also
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 25: the election and just people in general. I live on
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 25: the mountains. Like in my county, only 54% of people
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 25: showed up to the voting booth. And that's, like, I
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 25: don't even understand why people gripe and complain about how
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 25: this country's turning. You've got to do your God-given right,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 25: what God gives us. I don't understand, man. And that's where, like,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 25: I even got family that's so far left, they think
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 25: they're right.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 25: It's terrible. But, like, I was listening to the brother
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 25: that was from Kentucky.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 23: He's right.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 25: You know, like, we need to turn our hearts towards
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 25: God because, not just an election, not just a person, but, like,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 25: as a whole nation, because we're in the battle right now. And, like, sometimes,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 25: you know, I look at Jesus. He had wounds in
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 25: his hands. I know we've got to go through some things,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 25: but it's just I'm speechless.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Now, Colin, are you the senior pastor at the church?
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 25: No, I'm actually one of the preachers there.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 21: Yes, sir.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 25: I'm actually... I actually go to my church. It's actually
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 25: Jensen Franklin's in Gainesville.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to imagine that, you know, I know Jensen,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: and he's certainly not afraid to talk about these issues
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: from the pulpit. You know, I think there has to
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: be an education effort in the church, and much like,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm Southern Baptist, and we have Sunday school,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: and Sunday school is a great thing. And I'm wondering,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: through a discipleship class or Sunday school, we've got to
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: start educating Christians about their responsibilities and obligations as American citizens.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 18: Absolutely.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 23: Absolutely.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 25: Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but you're exactly right. Like,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 25: we've got to do our part, and they say you've
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 25: got to put a little skin in the game. And,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 25: you know, I've got a lot of people around my
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 25: age in the 20s They don't even care. They don't
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 25: even know what bathroom they're going to go into.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 21: And it's a shame.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 22: It's a disgrace, man.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 25: And they really need the Lord. But, yeah, I love Christ.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 25: I love people. And there's people that shed their blood
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 25: for this nation. And I just, I fear for my
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 25: own children because, like, they're going to grow up in
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 25: this society that brainwashed universities and stuff. And we need
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 25: to get back to that Bible-based, just the ABCs, just
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 25: simple faith. So I wanted to share that with you.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 25: I know it's not a lot, but I appreciate what
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 25: you stand for down here in Georgia, so just keep
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 25: us in your prayers.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: Colin, you know what? You are in my prayers, and
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: God bless you. I mean, you're on the front lines there.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, what you're doing matters so very much, and
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: I have to imagine you're going to be so influential
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: with young people and getting them to understand. I'm actually
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: working on a– I don't want to call it a curriculum,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: but I am working on a new book project that
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: is specifically designed for high school kids and college kids.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: to really encourage and inspire them to take ownership of
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: this country. You know, Ronald Reagan said, freedom's not passed
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: along in the bloodstream. Every generation has to fight for freedom.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm hoping this little project I've been working on
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: is going to do that. Colin, God bless you, and
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: thank you, and you give us a holler back one
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: of these days. I want to play some audio here.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: We're going to do the guy first, and then we'll
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: do the gal. Dylan, you actually heard this. Can you
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: believe that? That's chilling. What we're about to hear is
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: downright chilling.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 4: Pretty bad. I can't believe someone actually is speaking like
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 4: this about people.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: And one of them has well over, I think, 1.9
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: million likes on the TikTok, as they call it. So
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: that's why this is dangerous. This is a leftist talking
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: about the election. Take a listen.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 17: Nuremberg trials, Democrats. Nuremberg trials for all these people. You
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 17: have not been hired to come in and do your best.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 17: You have been hired to come in and do your worst.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 17: And understand, this is the last vote you get until
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 17: we see Epstein file convictions, all right? Abdul, take those
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 17: Wolverine claws I got you and park them under Stephen
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 17: Miller's chin. I want to see Jared Kushner's size five loafers.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 6: Swinging and dangling, all right?
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 17: If Elon Musk is alive at Christmas, it has been
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 17: a failure, all right? We need to build Guantanamo Bay
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 17: 2 on Epstein Island, all right? Break ground on that today.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 17: Guantanamo Island, build it. Start syncing posts right now, today.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 17: This is what we want to see. We don't want,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 17: I swear to God, if you come at us and
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 17: say you're going to let bygones be bygones and we
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 17: need to move on and heal as a country, I
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 17: swear to God, we want justice. We want judgment day.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 17: Now's the time. This is the last time we vote
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 17: for you unless you put belt to ass.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 6: We want Armageddon.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 17: We want justice, judgment day.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: That's what you've been hired to do.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 4: Go do it.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: Go to work.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 17: The celebrating that was for last night. Now it's time
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 17: to get to work.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 6: Go to work.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 4: Let's see it.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we're fighting against in
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: this country. You will note that after the dramatic apocalypse
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: that occurred, did any major American cities burn last night? No,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: did not. I'm sorry, did people rampage and pillage and
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: plunder Dollywood last night? No, not at all. Dollywood's doing fine.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: What about Branson, Missouri? Everybody doing okay over at Sight
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: and Sound Theater? Yep, everybody's great. Nothing burned. Nothing got
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: pillaged or plundered. Nothing got looted. You think the Democrats
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: would do the same? Of course not. But that's who
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: these people are. So now what you're about to hear,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: this woman has more than nearly 2 million likes, nearly
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: 2 million likes on her post. And I will tell you,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: it appears that she is driving a Subaru, and she is,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: in fact, a woman of the lesbian persuasion. And I
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: want you to listen to what she had to say.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I don't want impeachment. I don't want
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: them to serve time.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 26: I want them taken into the city town square, hugged
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 26: from their ankles, and cut them from going to jail.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: All right. So I'll try to, you know, I had
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: to go back and listen to what she said. It
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: was kind of hard because she was screaming. She said
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: she wanted to take all the conservatives, that's you people,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: and hang them from your ankles and gut you folks
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: from groin to chain. That's what she said. Dylan, I
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: think she's serious about it, too.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's terrifying.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: Lock her up, please.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: Like, don't let her just, yeah, that's terrible.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: We're going to have to have Secret Service on speed dial.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, ladies and gentlemen. That's what we're dealing with.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: That's the evil, the demonic evil that is in our
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: country right now. All right, let's go to the phone lines.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: Bobby in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Bobby, what's on your mind?
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 22: Yeah, we voted and we lost, sadly, too, because of
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 22: Annie Andrews, because Darlene Nordone, Graham, she couldn't even debate
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 22: well on Newsmax the way she did on Atlanta News First.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 22: But on to my more serious point about liberal Protestant ministers.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 22: I was run out of a Southern Baptist church because
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 22: I stood up to some of the liberal Protestant material
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 22: they were using. And what I found is The Cooperative
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 22: Baptist Fellowship now controls the majority of evangelical churches' choral music,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 22: and they are even taking control of Sunday school material.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 22: The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship's Mercer University is leading this charge,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 22: and most churches don't even know they're singing out of
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 22: Mercer's material, and that CBF material helps fund the liberal
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 22: churches that deny the inerrancy of Scripture.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Bobby, let me say something. I happen to be
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: a Southern Baptist and pretty involved in my denomination, and
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty disturbed by what's been happening in my denomination.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: There is no doubt that for a very long period
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: of time that the Southern Baptists were moved intentionally to
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: the left. There is no doubt that a lot of
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: the materials coming out of Lifeway Christian Resources are which
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: used to be, by the way, they used to be
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: called the Baptist Sunday School Board, which is where every
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: Southern Baptist church got their Vacation Bible School material, got
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: their Sunday School material, discipleship training material, the whole nine yards. And,
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: of course, they renamed it to become Lifeway Christian Resources,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: and they pretty much ran the whole thing into the ground.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just awful what's happened. I'm going to
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: tell you about my experience. To your point, Bobby, they
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: came and asked me to write a book. because I'm
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: a Southern Baptist, and I said, happy to do it.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: And so I wrote a book, and it was, oh,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: it was my, one of my, I think it was
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: my second or third book, and it was about Obama
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: and the policies of the Obama administration. Bobby, I got
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: a call from my editor there at Lifeway Christian Resources,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: and they said that somebody went through and they counted
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: the and there were more references to Obama than Jesus
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: in my book. And I said, that's because my book
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: is about Obama and not Jesus. And I'm like, what
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: the heck is this all about? And it was very
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: clear to me that at that time that whoever was
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: working on the book, they were liberal, they loved Obama,
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: and they didn't like what I had to say about
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: the far-left anti-Christian policies of Barack Hussein Obama.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 22: And here's the irony. I now go to an Associated
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 22: Reformed Presbyterian Church that happens to be the home of
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 22: our glowing governor, Henry McMaster, and our still-hasn't-won-the-elect-yet 2nd District Congressman,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 22: Joe Mnuchin.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: And, Bobby, I think we lost the phone connection there,
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: but I think we got the gist of what you
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: were saying. Thank you for calling in. Oh, that was
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: the same book. This is funny. Dylan and I had
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: a line in the book, and the line basically said,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: so who peed in your Wheaties, right? It's a phrase. Well,
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: who peed in your Wheaties? So I get a call
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: from Lifeway Christian Resources, and they said, Tom, we're not
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: allowed to use that kind of language. You cannot reference
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: bodily fluids in your book. They sent me an email
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: about it, so I called them up. And I said,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: what are you talking about, bodily fluids? They didn't provide
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: any context. I'm like, what in the world are they
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: talking about? And they said, well, you said that so-and-so
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: peed in your Wheaties. And I said, well, it's a phrase, right?
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: It's a phrase. So they go, well, you can't say pee.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: So they said you could say urinate. And I'm like,
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense at all. Who urinated in Wheaties?
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: Just on a phrase?
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 4: You have to be more literal, Todd, yeah. You have
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 4: to say urinate in Wheaties.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: Sit there and go, what the hell? And then I'll go,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 4: What the heck?
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I'll tell you, I will tell you this.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: That was a Christian publishing house. I will never, ever
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: work with a Christian publishing house again. because of just
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: how difficult they are and how liberal they are. So
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: Simon & Schuster is my publisher now. They do a
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: great job. They let me say pee in your– it
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. You can pee in your weenies as much
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: as you want to with Simon & Schuster. I love that.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Remember back in 2020,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen– oh, what a terrible time that was
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: The media narrative was absolute. People suggesting early alternatives were silenced, deplatformed.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. The late Dr. Zev
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: Zelenko was at the center of all that controversy with
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: ZStack and the Zelenko Protocol. Oh, man, they tore him
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: up over all this. President Trump, though, came back and
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: actually cited Dr. Zelenko during a press briefing. When you
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: look at ZStack and the Zelenko protocol, I mean, everything
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: was carefully selected, all the ingredients, doses based on his research.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: And today his legacy actually lives on through the original
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: Z-Stack formula. You should not have to feel helpless every

• 1:49:58
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns radio show. Been a good look.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: It's been a good couple of days. And I know
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: that sounds crazy, but look, we're going to persevere and
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: we're going to make it. We really are. We just
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: have to allow the Democrats to show exactly what they're
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: up to. Now, that doesn't mean that there's going to
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: be a cakewalk. It's going to get ugly, and it's
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: going to be tough. These Democrats, one of their first
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: goals is to disarm the American people, which is what
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: this gun registry is all about, this universal gun registry.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: So there's going to have to be a lot of pushback.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: But ladies and gentlemen, what you can do right now
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: is this, and this needs to happen immediately. We need
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: to reconvene the Congress, and they need to stay in
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: Washington and work through Thanksgiving, work through Christmas, and get
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: every single thing across the finish line. Every single bit
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: of President Trump's agenda, it has to get through the
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: House and the Senate and on the President's desk. And
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: may I just stress that we have got to abolish
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: the Department of Education. The administration has to do that.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: If we don't do that, if we don't return control
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: back to your local community, then we will lose the republic.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: I've been saying this until I'm, I don't know, blue
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: in the face. So what you need to do is
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: contact the district office, and several of your lawmakers have
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: district offices. Call those district offices and let them know
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: that you want those lawmakers back in Washington finishing the
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: president's agenda. And after you do that, you contact the
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: Senate and do the exact same thing. Pick up the phone,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: give them a call, send them an email. That's your homework. Tomorrow,
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: I want to hear from you if you've been able
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: to talk to anybody at any of these congressional offices,
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 2: and what did they tell you? Because I'm telling you, folks,
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: this nonsense about sending everybody to voicemail, that's got to end.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: It is time for these lawmakers to feel the wrath
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: of the American people. That's what we've got to do here.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: You can be nice. You can be polite. But you
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: need to state what's on your mind to your elected leader.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: But that is your homework assignment for this afternoon, this evening. Tomorrow,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 2: open line. Friday, don't forget, get a copy of The
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. No, he did save America.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: But what was the message in the book? The message
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: was very clear in the book, and we'll talk about
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: this tomorrow. But what was once saved can be lost again,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 2: and that is exactly what has happened. All right, get
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: out there, everybody. Have a great rest of your day. ToddStarnes.com.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: Go and check out all of our great content there,
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: and we'll see you back here tomorrow on the radio.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: Be good, America.
