Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: common sense, conservative commentary from Todd Stars American.
- 0:27Speaker 2: What is up? My friends, welcome into it. It is
- 0:29Speaker 2: the Todd Sterns Radio program. Know what is not Todd
- 0:31Speaker 2: Starns today. He is out and about doing his thing.
- 0:34Speaker 2: He will be back soon and shortly. We always miss
- 0:37Speaker 2: him when he is not behind the microphone and off.
- 0:40Speaker 2: But have no fear, my friends, Andy, who's're sitting in
- 0:42Speaker 2: moving the Liberty University Studio is out here to my
- 0:45Speaker 2: flagship station, Whichton's Big Talker KQAM as. It is a
- 0:48Speaker 2: great affiliate at the Todd Sterns Radio Show. And hey,
- 0:51Speaker 2: happy pre Friday. It's a Thursday to you. We are
- 0:53Speaker 2: almost to the end of the week. You see the
- 0:55Speaker 2: light at the end of the tunnel. And boy, old
- 0:56Speaker 2: boy I am. I was just telling Dylan, the great
- 0:59Speaker 2: producer there in Memphis. I is telling him about there's
- 1:02Speaker 2: so much news today that we're gonna try and cover
- 1:04Speaker 2: on the program that I'm gonna have a hard time
- 1:06Speaker 2: trying to stay somewhat organized because I'm gonna feel scatterbrained
- 1:10Speaker 2: with how much is happening. So we'll try and do
- 1:12Speaker 2: it in a clear and concise manner to where we
- 1:14Speaker 2: can cover as much as we possibly can. And I
- 1:16Speaker 2: want to hear your thoughts on all of it today
- 1:17Speaker 2: at nine zero one two six zero five nine two
- 1:20Speaker 2: six nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:23Speaker 2: It's always such an honor to fill in for Todd
- 1:25Speaker 2: when he's out, and cannot wait to see him back
- 1:26Speaker 2: behind the microphone here soon. But what a wild week
- 1:30Speaker 2: it has been, for sure the bottom of the slur,
- 1:33Speaker 2: We're gonna talk with Don Brown. He's a former Navy
- 1:35Speaker 2: jag and former Pentagon official. He knows the ins and
- 1:38Speaker 2: outs of the law on how to go after somebody
- 1:41Speaker 2: if they've broken the law. And as we try to
- 1:43Speaker 2: clean up corruption in society, the new indictment of James Comy,
- 1:48Speaker 2: is that going to go anywhere? The eighty six forty
- 1:51Speaker 2: seven picture of the seashells on the sea Shore, Dylan,
- 1:55Speaker 2: that's very hard to say, especially on radio. I took
- 1:57Speaker 2: a risk on that one, but we did it that
- 1:59Speaker 2: it's our were actually going to see anything come from
- 2:01Speaker 2: that one? And will we see James Comy behind bars
- 2:05Speaker 2: in any fashion making any threats to the United States
- 2:08Speaker 2: and to the President of the United States. So we'll
- 2:10Speaker 2: talk with Don about that. And that's kind of where
- 2:12Speaker 2: I want to focus this hour of the program, and
- 2:13Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts on it at nine
- 2:15Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six, not
- 2:17Speaker 2: only about James Comy, but about all the corruption that
- 2:20Speaker 2: we're starting to see. And can we just say hats
- 2:22Speaker 2: off to the man himself, the new Attorney General, the
- 2:25Speaker 2: acting Attorney General at least Todd Blanche right now, with
- 2:28Speaker 2: not only the indictment of James Comy within what a
- 2:32Speaker 2: week or two of his new acting ag position, with
- 2:35Speaker 2: the leaving of the former Attorney General, the indictment of
- 2:39Speaker 2: James Comy, the raids of the Leering Centers in Minnesota.
- 2:44Speaker 2: See what I did there? See what I did there? Yeah,
- 2:46Speaker 2: the Leering Centers of the Minnesota in Minneapolis, where we
- 2:49Speaker 2: saw those federal raids just a few days ago, the
- 2:52Speaker 2: announcement of the Southern Poverty Law Center and that announcement
- 2:55Speaker 2: coming public about their investments into the radicalized group that
- 3:00Speaker 2: they supposedly fight. But if you don't have anything to fight,
- 3:03Speaker 2: then you have to keep the false rage going so
- 3:05Speaker 2: that way you can continue to be relevant. Kind of
- 3:08Speaker 2: like every social program out there, If you don't have
- 3:11Speaker 2: homelessness anymore, then why would we have to spend millions
- 3:13Speaker 2: of dollars on homelessness and all the organizations that actually
- 3:16Speaker 2: help fight that issue. So, of course the government programs,
- 3:20Speaker 2: we spend millions upon millions of year taxpayer money, and
- 3:23Speaker 2: we don't do anything to solve the issue because if
- 3:26Speaker 2: the issue was solved, we wouldn't need those programs, and
- 3:28Speaker 2: those people would be out of jobs and they wouldn't
- 3:30Speaker 2: be very happy about that. So it's the ongoing vicious
- 3:32Speaker 2: cycle in the hamster wheel that we always have to
- 3:34Speaker 2: deal with. But hat tip, at least in my opinion,
- 3:36Speaker 2: to Todd Blinche. Now, I will say probably the majority
- 3:39Speaker 2: of these investigations were already underway under our former attorney general,
- 3:45Speaker 2: and now we're finally starting to see it come to light.
- 3:48Speaker 2: We've been very critical, I think, at least in my opinion,
- 3:51Speaker 2: she was at least one of the weak links in
- 3:53Speaker 2: the Trump administration and at one of those cabinet positions
- 3:56Speaker 2: where we didn't see a whole lot come out from her,
- 3:59Speaker 2: and what we did come out was kind of ill
- 4:01Speaker 2: timed and illy poorly done. Unfortunately, to where that's why
- 4:06Speaker 2: she's not in that position any longer. Todd Blanche has
- 4:08Speaker 2: come out. Within the first couple of weeks, we've seen
- 4:11Speaker 2: a lot of changes in actual action on holding people
- 4:14Speaker 2: accountable for their corruption going on in society. So I
- 4:17Speaker 2: got to give Todd Blanche a hat tip on that
- 4:20Speaker 2: it may not all have been him. It may have
- 4:22Speaker 2: been from the previous individuals in there that have been
- 4:25Speaker 2: working to this point, and it just kind of fell
- 4:26Speaker 2: into place. But the fact that we finally took that
- 4:29Speaker 2: leap and we did it. We're indicting James Cony, We're
- 4:31Speaker 2: exposing the Southern Poverty Law Center, is all really good news.
- 4:34Speaker 2: But I want to take it a step further because
- 4:36Speaker 2: I want to ask you the question, and it's really
- 4:38Speaker 2: a concern. If this is true, it's a really concerning
- 4:42Speaker 2: problem for me of the dehumanization of individuals and in
- 4:48Speaker 2: society in general, based on social media, based on the
- 4:51Speaker 2: rhetoric that you hear. And if you're on social media,
- 4:53Speaker 2: I do not envy you at all. I see it.
- 4:54Speaker 2: I post quite a bit on my social media. Todd
- 4:57Speaker 2: post on his social media all the time, and you
- 4:59Speaker 2: can see exactly the really ridiculous angry rhetoric that comes
- 5:03Speaker 2: out of there, the dehumanization of people, or they don't
- 5:05Speaker 2: think twice about calling you a non human and it's unfortunate,
- 5:09Speaker 2: And is that what we're starting to see because Democrats
- 5:12Speaker 2: love to do that, and then when they get called
- 5:15Speaker 2: out on it, they played the victim, like James Camy.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw his video post it online.
- 5:20Speaker 2: It's very awkward because I don't know if he's just
- 5:22Speaker 2: really tall and he just has a hard time positioning
- 5:24Speaker 2: a camera, or if he's not used to selfies, whatever,
- 5:27Speaker 2: but it looks really awkward, and then he comes out
- 5:29Speaker 2: and tries to play the victim for having this indictment.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Well, they're back, this time about a picture of seashells
- 5:35Speaker 3: on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this
- 5:39Speaker 3: won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed
- 5:42Speaker 3: with me. I'm still innocent, I'm still not afraid, and
- 5:47Speaker 3: I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 5:52Speaker 3: But it's really important that all of us remember this
- 5:56Speaker 3: is not who we are as a country. This is
- 5:57Speaker 3: not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be.
- 6:00Speaker 3: And the good news is we get closer every day
- 6:03Speaker 3: to restoring those values.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Keep the faith, I look, keep the faith. I'm such
- 6:09Speaker 2: a victim of society. I'm being persecuted. They're coming after me.
- 6:13Speaker 2: This is the retaliation tour of the Trump administration, coming
- 6:16Speaker 2: after the enemies, political enemies of Donald Trump. That's what
- 6:20Speaker 2: they've always tried to claim. That's what they claim. When
- 6:22Speaker 2: Donald Trump first got into office, if you remember, it
- 6:24Speaker 2: was a scare tactic across the board that well, even
- 6:27Speaker 2: the media said it. Donald Trump was going to round
- 6:29Speaker 2: up members of the media, all of his political opposition. No, ironically,
- 6:34Speaker 2: that's the narcissism that comes up, because that's what they
- 6:36Speaker 2: exactly tried to do to Donald Trump for his four
- 6:37Speaker 2: years not in office, throwing him in prison, trying to
- 6:40Speaker 2: ruin his businesses, trying to, you know, remove him from
- 6:43Speaker 2: the ballot in numerous different states. So you know that
- 6:46Speaker 2: if you want to use the term of the chickens
- 6:48Speaker 2: coming home to roost, yeah, you know, there's a little
- 6:51Speaker 2: bit of an argument to be made there. But James Comey,
- 6:53Speaker 2: the guy who had his texts exposed at talking to
- 6:57Speaker 2: Barack Obama in Hillary Clinton saying that he was going
- 6:59Speaker 2: to to do everything in his power as FBI director
- 7:02Speaker 2: at that time to prevent Donald Trump from being president
- 7:05Speaker 2: of the United States. Before Trump had been number one,
- 7:08Speaker 2: the guy that accepted the documents that was the Russia
- 7:10Speaker 2: Gate that we now know with full certainty was a
- 7:13Speaker 2: complete falsehood and a scam by the Clinton campaign to
- 7:17Speaker 2: turn over this quote unquote dossier that Donald Trump was
- 7:20Speaker 2: colluding with Russia to try and rig the election at
- 7:22Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. We all know that that's a scam now,
- 7:25Speaker 2: and that guy was part of it. So he had
- 7:27Speaker 2: a bad rep in a history before that, and now
- 7:30Speaker 2: we see him out there with this eighty six forty seven. Now,
- 7:33Speaker 2: whether that's going to get him in enough trouble to
- 7:34Speaker 2: be deemed as a quote unquote threat to the United States,
- 7:37Speaker 2: I don't really know. But it leads to what we
- 7:39Speaker 2: just saw this past weekend. Obviously, and I know Tom's
- 7:41Speaker 2: been talking about it, with this assassination attempt on Donald
- 7:44Speaker 2: Trump at the Correspondences dinner on Saturday that there have
- 7:47Speaker 2: been two responses from progressives, and neither one of those
- 7:50Speaker 2: response options have been oh my gosh, maybe we should
- 7:53Speaker 2: tone down the rhetoric, Maybe we shouldn't try to kill
- 7:55Speaker 2: a human being, and maybe we should do something a
- 7:57Speaker 2: little bit different than actually violate just claiming that Donald
- 8:01Speaker 2: Trump's a violator of human rights and he's violating the constitution,
- 8:05Speaker 2: that he's a rapist and a pedophile and everything else.
- 8:07Speaker 2: That's not one of the options that they've come to
- 8:09Speaker 2: in their conclusion on this. They've come to the conclusion
- 8:12Speaker 2: of either oh darn, another attempt that missed and was
- 8:16Speaker 2: not successful, or it didn't happen at all in the
- 8:18Speaker 2: first place and it was all staged like those are
- 8:22Speaker 2: Those are the two conclusions that progressives have come to.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And because of that response, I ask you the question,
- 8:28Speaker 2: have we gotten to such a divide in society right now?
- 8:32Speaker 4: Our Jewish friends feel forgotten. There's a Jewish woman named
- 8:36Speaker 4: Esther I'd like to tell you about. In her home
- 8:38Speaker 4: in Israel. Esther is living through days and nights of fear,
- 8:42Speaker 4: sirens sounding, rockets, screaming through the sky, long stretches spent
- 8:46Speaker 4: in a bomb shelter. Eighty four years old, Esther is elderly,
- 8:50Speaker 4: fragile and alone. Imagine that no help, no food deliveries,
- 8:54Speaker 4: no medical care, no one knocking at the door in
- 8:57Speaker 4: a war zone. But because of friends like you. Esther
- 9:01Speaker 4: is not alone through the fellowship. You are there, bringing food,
- 9:05Speaker 4: meeting urgent needs, and reminding Jewish people like Esther, you
- 9:09Speaker 4: are not forgotten in times of fear and uncertainty. Your
- 9:13Speaker 4: compassion brings hope and help. Esther asked that you hear
- 9:17Speaker 4: these words to those who give. You are doing a
- 9:20Speaker 4: very great mitzvah, a good deed you give from your hearts.
- 9:23Speaker 4: May God protect you. Friends. Your gift to God's people
- 9:27Speaker 4: is truly hope giving and life saving. Please don't wait.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Call eight eight eight seven nine nine IFCJ right now.
- 9:35Speaker 4: That's eight eight eight seven nine nine IFCJ. Or go
- 9:38Speaker 4: to IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
- 9:43Speaker 2: That we can't even recognize when rhetoric has gotten so
- 9:47Speaker 2: far that it's led to the potential harm of human beings,
- 9:50Speaker 2: Like is that where we're at society, to where we're
- 9:52Speaker 2: so divided and we passionately vehemently hate someone so badly
- 9:58Speaker 2: that we even put the blinder, and when there is
- 10:01Speaker 2: an attempt on harming someone, we don't even look at
- 10:03Speaker 2: it as wow, maybe we should reevaluate something, but yeah,
- 10:06Speaker 2: it just didn't happen. Or by golly, I wish they
- 10:09Speaker 2: would have succeeded, because if that is the case, we're
- 10:12Speaker 2: in a world a hurt of society nine one two
- 10:13Speaker 2: six zero five nine twenty six. That's a little concerning
- 10:16Speaker 2: to me. Now that being said, are we seeing a
- 10:19Speaker 2: change in the tide for the Justice Department in general,
- 10:22Speaker 2: Department of Justice because of the exposing of what we're
- 10:25Speaker 2: seeing and while we start putting a clamp down on this,
- 10:27Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean the restriction of freedom of speech,
- 10:30Speaker 2: but that does mean that if you do actually become
- 10:33Speaker 2: a serious threat to a human being, Republican or Democrat,
- 10:37Speaker 2: right or left, regardless of who you are, although the
- 10:39Speaker 2: predominantly side is coming from them obviously, that if you
- 10:43Speaker 2: do become a serious threat, are we actually going to
- 10:45Speaker 2: take the action to do what we can to stop
- 10:47Speaker 2: you from actually harming an individual and especially an elected official,
- 10:50Speaker 2: and especially the President of the United States, Because it
- 10:55Speaker 2: sounds like we might actually begin start taking that action.
- 10:58Speaker 2: I don't know where you fall on the with social
- 11:01Speaker 2: media influencers and podcasters. I try to stay away from
- 11:04Speaker 2: that as much as possible, But just in the past
- 11:06Speaker 2: day or so, Erica Kirk with Turning Point USA did
- 11:10Speaker 2: make an interesting comment about this exact issue, about the
- 11:12Speaker 2: dehumanizing of society.
- 11:14Speaker 5: Headline lying about me.
- 11:15Speaker 6: I have comedians dressing up in whiteface.
- 11:19Speaker 5: I have people.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Saying I'm not fit to be CEO, and I have
- 11:23Speaker 6: Cannis Owens claiming I murdered my husband, and the list
- 11:28Speaker 6: goes on and on and on. There is a serious
- 11:33Speaker 6: epidemic of dehumanization plaguing this country. The most unthinkable tragedies
- 11:38Speaker 6: have now become commonplace in our daily headlines, and yet
- 11:42Speaker 6: the media finds a way to conveniently explain away violence.
- 11:47Speaker 6: This is what we're up against, This is what we're
- 11:51Speaker 6: up against, all.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Right, So is that true? Do you agree with that mindset?
- 11:55Speaker 5: Now?
- 11:55Speaker 2: Again, whether you believe Erica Kirk or whether you're more
- 11:57Speaker 2: on the canvass so inside of things, I don't want
- 11:58Speaker 2: to get into that debate particular, but that comment itself
- 12:02Speaker 2: resonates very true. I actually had this weekend when we
- 12:05Speaker 2: were covering the Correspondence dinner assassination attempt. I had a
- 12:10Speaker 2: lot of comments on social media that I'd seen on
- 12:12Speaker 2: my page, I've seen on Todd's page as well, about
- 12:14Speaker 2: people that, of course say that words don't lead people
- 12:18Speaker 2: to violence, which is probably one of the silliest and
- 12:20Speaker 2: dumbest things I've ever heard in my entire life, because
- 12:22Speaker 2: that's exactly how you get someone into a state of
- 12:24Speaker 2: wanting to harm, which is the words that you do
- 12:26Speaker 2: to brainwash them into thinking that that's legitimate and okay
- 12:29Speaker 2: and justified in some fashion. And I want to go
- 12:32Speaker 2: to a prime example of this, and I guess he's
- 12:35Speaker 2: kind of on our side. I used to be kind
- 12:37Speaker 2: of a big fan, although I don't necessarily like his
- 12:39Speaker 2: style on the radio. But Alex Jones within Full Wars,
- 12:42Speaker 2: if you remember, had to backtrack a little bit after
- 12:44Speaker 2: the Pizzagate issue, where he had made the claim that
- 12:47Speaker 2: there was a pizza pizza restaurant in New York somewhere
- 12:50Speaker 2: that was the place to for high elite individuals to
- 12:53Speaker 2: call and order children for a human trafficking ring, and
- 12:56Speaker 2: it led to someone trying to bomb the pizzeriha, and
- 12:59Speaker 2: he had to reach a lot of that. Now unfortunately,
- 13:02Speaker 2: a lot of that's actually come true. So Alex Jones,
- 13:04Speaker 2: Alex Jones has always been one, at least in my opinion,
- 13:06Speaker 2: to where you know what he says, he says it
- 13:09Speaker 2: in the most off putting way to not have people
- 13:12Speaker 2: believe him. But at the end of the day, a
- 13:13Speaker 2: lot of the claims that he makes actually comes true
- 13:16Speaker 2: to some degree. His approach to it, though to the
- 13:19Speaker 2: general public, is just a little bit more abrasive than
- 13:21Speaker 2: I think most people usually likect to take in the mainstream.
- 13:23Speaker 2: But nonetheless, that's a prime example of how certain words
- 13:28Speaker 2: and leaders can lead to political violence. And now we
- 13:32Speaker 2: have an entire Democrat party, not just a few individuals,
- 13:35Speaker 2: but a select not just a select feel, but an
- 13:37Speaker 2: entire party where they said Donald Trump is a Nazi
- 13:40Speaker 2: and a fascist and an authoritarian and going to round
- 13:43Speaker 2: up the media and going to throw people in guantanamobey
- 13:46Speaker 2: and execute his political enemies and use the military for
- 13:49Speaker 2: his personal gain into whatever he wants to do, and
- 13:51Speaker 2: how he's a pedophile and all down the line. And
- 13:54Speaker 2: of course now they're like, no, no, there's no way
- 13:56Speaker 2: that was going to lead to someone actually harming President
- 13:59Speaker 2: Donald Trump. James Comey with the indictment, with all the
- 14:03Speaker 2: anti Trump rhetoric that he had done as an official
- 14:06Speaker 2: as the head of the FBI. Now I'll say, no, no,
- 14:08Speaker 2: I've never wanted to harm Donald Trump in any fashion,
- 14:11Speaker 2: never wanted to make a threat against him whatsoever, and
- 14:15Speaker 2: now tries to play the victim. You throw the log
- 14:18Speaker 2: into the lake, and then you play the victim when
- 14:20Speaker 2: you see the ripples start happening. I find it kind
- 14:22Speaker 2: of interesting. It's a sad world that we're in today,
- 14:25Speaker 2: and I don't know where we go from here and
- 14:27Speaker 2: how we get back to actually humanizing people again and
- 14:29Speaker 2: seeing everyone that we can disagree politically, we can disagree ideologically,
- 14:33Speaker 2: but we don't have to hate someone on a human level.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Gotta take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five,
- 14:38Speaker 2: nine twenty six. Your thoughts on some of this is
- 14:40Speaker 2: that where we're at in society and if so, how
- 14:42Speaker 2: do we get it back? We'll talk about that when
- 14:44Speaker 2: we come back around the corner. It is the Todd
- 14:45Speaker 2: Starnes Radio program for eight Thursday. Stay hear, I look
- 14:55Speaker 2: back to it. Tod Starned Radio program. Andy, Who's you're
- 14:57Speaker 2: sitting in today? Great to have you along for the
- 14:59Speaker 2: ride for a p Friday celebration nine oh one two
- 15:01Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. I was trying to
- 15:03Speaker 2: think during the break, any any opportunity, any option to
- 15:08Speaker 2: where from the conservative side individuals who think a little
- 15:11Speaker 2: bit more logically less emotionally unstable in some fashion, and
- 15:14Speaker 2: we think through issues and even if we vehemently despise someone,
- 15:19Speaker 2: whether it's the ongoing battle about who's a deep stater
- 15:23Speaker 2: and who tried to assassinate Charlie Kirk with Erica Kirk
- 15:27Speaker 2: and Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson, or whether it's someone
- 15:29Speaker 2: like Barack Obama and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, or
- 15:32Speaker 2: whether it's someone like Donald Trump from the other side
- 15:34Speaker 2: of the aisle, Is there anyone that you would honestly
- 15:37Speaker 2: advocate to have harmed? And I would say a resounding no.
- 15:41Speaker 2: We disagree with them vehemently. And in fact, Democrats not
- 15:44Speaker 2: only it's not about Donald Trump, but if you remember
- 15:46Speaker 2: just a year or so ago, they killed the United
- 15:48Speaker 2: Healthcare CEO because while he wasn't providing universal health care
- 15:52Speaker 2: and because he was turning down to different insurance claims
- 15:55Speaker 2: within the company. And how evil the insurance companies are
- 15:57Speaker 2: that I find, by the way, quite ironic, and Dylan,
- 15:59Speaker 2: you can grow me if I'm wrong here. They're the
- 16:01Speaker 2: ones advocating for the expansion of Obamacare, which is putting
- 16:04Speaker 2: more subsidized taxpayer money into the healthcare system for insurance companies,
- 16:10Speaker 2: while they're mad at the insurance companies for the bad
- 16:13Speaker 2: coverage that they provide. Dalan, Does that make any sense
- 16:15Speaker 2: to anyone? I don't know that it does. No, not much, Yeah,
- 16:19Speaker 2: not much on that one. That's a little weird. But
- 16:21Speaker 2: here's the thing. I know most of us, you and
- 16:23Speaker 2: I probably all agree that there are a few and
- 16:26Speaker 2: I want to say this in very blanket terms, organizations
- 16:29Speaker 2: or industries, for example, the big pharma industry, the big
- 16:33Speaker 2: insurance industry, the big rbicide pesticide industry, the deep state,
- 16:37Speaker 2: the bureaucratic state, whatever that we despise, but no one
- 16:41Speaker 2: would advocate for their harming. I would like to see
- 16:44Speaker 2: and love to see the irony, which is what we're
- 16:46Speaker 2: starting to see right now. Is the tide maybe turning
- 16:48Speaker 2: on justice with the Department of Justice under Todd Blanche
- 16:51Speaker 2: is that we're now starting to see the legal system
- 16:53Speaker 2: turn on the ones that used to use it for protection.
- 16:57Speaker 2: They're now starting to face this legal system after abusing
- 17:00Speaker 2: the system, never let a crisis go to waste, and
- 17:02Speaker 2: use it for their own personal advantage and to me,
- 17:05Speaker 2: at least that's sweet, irony. I really enjoy that because
- 17:09Speaker 2: you've tried to say it's I always relate it to
- 17:11Speaker 2: as an example of a child where the kid that
- 17:14Speaker 2: always has to win, always has to get their way,
- 17:16Speaker 2: they're never told no from their parents. They're playing the
- 17:18Speaker 2: board game with their friends, and they're playing the game,
- 17:21Speaker 2: and as they start to lose, they change the rules
- 17:23Speaker 2: of the game in the middle of the game because
- 17:25Speaker 2: they don't want to lose. And then when they continue
- 17:27Speaker 2: to lose, they get angry. They overturn the board and
- 17:30Speaker 2: all the pieces on the board game, they put up
- 17:32Speaker 2: the board game, and they say I'm going home because
- 17:34Speaker 2: I don't want to play any longer. That has been
- 17:37Speaker 2: the Democrats and the progressive movements and the deep state
- 17:39Speaker 2: from both sides, I guess a little bit for a
- 17:41Speaker 2: very long time. They put regulation after regulation, rule after rule.
- 17:45Speaker 2: In fact, there have been court cases now and changes
- 17:48Speaker 2: in policy to where if there's a challenge on institutional regulation,
- 17:53Speaker 2: let's say Environmental Protection Agency. In fact, Lee Zelden, the
- 17:56Speaker 2: EPA head, was doing a committee hearing earlier this week
- 18:00Speaker 2: and was asked about that on why the EPA's not
- 18:03Speaker 2: fighting climate change around the world. And he mentioned openly
- 18:07Speaker 2: where in our regulations are losses to say we have
- 18:08Speaker 2: to battle climate change and man make global warming. That's
- 18:11Speaker 2: not what we're here for. We're deregulating. We're focusing on
- 18:15Speaker 2: the private sector. And he made the case that there
- 18:17Speaker 2: are new lawsuits now that openly say we're not supposed
- 18:20Speaker 2: to just take the interpretation of the bureaucratic agencies themselves,
- 18:24Speaker 2: but the courts actually have to make their own opinion
- 18:26Speaker 2: when the private sector is challenging the interpretation of one
- 18:29Speaker 2: of these laws. And I find that really good news
- 18:31Speaker 2: across the board. So in all the clutter and the
- 18:34Speaker 2: madness that we hear in the world right now, the dehumanization,
- 18:37Speaker 2: the ongoing conflict in Iran, which by the way, we
- 18:39Speaker 2: have some updates and we'll get to in just a
- 18:41Speaker 2: little bit here, with the work that Congress is doing,
- 18:44Speaker 2: which they've been doing a lot. Last night was a
- 18:46Speaker 2: big night for Faiza and for farm Bill. So we'll
- 18:48Speaker 2: discuss all that throughout the program today as well. But
- 18:50Speaker 2: through all of the clutter, at least to me, some
- 18:54Speaker 2: of the big news and an administration that spend the
- 18:56Speaker 2: most productive administration of modern American history under Donald Trump,
- 19:00Speaker 2: to four hundred executive orders, all the different mandates, all
- 19:02Speaker 2: the different investments, all the different regulation cuts and tax cuts,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and the one big beautiful bill that we've done in
- 19:07Speaker 2: a single year alone that we need to remember going
- 19:10Speaker 2: into midterm season. We are winning. We are doing the
- 19:12Speaker 2: right thing, and we may be slowly moving in the
- 19:15Speaker 2: right direction, but at least we're moving there better than
- 19:18Speaker 2: what we would be if these individuals in Congress and
- 19:21Speaker 2: as the President were not in office. So the Justice
- 19:24Speaker 2: Department one of those big wins. Todd Blanche, God bless you,
- 19:27Speaker 2: my friend. We're moving in that right direction. Gotta take
- 19:29Speaker 2: a great Don Brown right around the corner. We'll talk
- 19:31Speaker 2: some more about this. Andy, who's're sitting in for the
- 19:33Speaker 2: Great Todd Starnes on the Todd Starnes Radio Program. All right,
- 19:55Speaker 2: look back do it? Todd Starnes Radio Program, And Indy,
- 19:57Speaker 2: who's you're sitting in today? Moving that Liberty University studio
- 19:59Speaker 2: out here to which Talk Kansas where I'm based out
- 20:01Speaker 2: of my flagship station. You can find Todd on his
- 20:03Speaker 2: website top Starns dot com. You can find my websites
- 20:06Speaker 2: on my website at Who's Your Reason dot com. H
- 20:09Speaker 2: O O. S. E. R. Reason dot Com. It's always
- 20:11Speaker 2: great to fill in for Todd. Headlines today a debt
- 20:14Speaker 2: topping one hundred percent of the GDP and of course
- 20:19Speaker 2: now the bias reporting from the so called DRUDG report
- 20:22Speaker 2: that used to be conservative not so conservative any longer
- 20:25Speaker 2: has a picture of Donald Trump on there. Now. I
- 20:28Speaker 2: didn't realize that Donald Trump was all of a sudden
- 20:30Speaker 2: the one increasing massive amounts of debt when this has
- 20:32Speaker 2: been going on for well a really really long time.
- 20:35Speaker 2: But of course, you know, it takes a while to
- 20:38Speaker 2: resteer that ship. And even though we do need to
- 20:40Speaker 2: hit the panic button on, I always try to equate
- 20:43Speaker 2: the economy as like Wiley coyote from the cartoon when
- 20:46Speaker 2: you're off the cliff and your body starts falling, and
- 20:48Speaker 2: then your head and your arms are there with the
- 20:49Speaker 2: sign that says help, the body's already falling, Like it's
- 20:52Speaker 2: already done. We're already almost near extinction for the economic
- 20:55Speaker 2: crash that we're going to see with the almost forty
- 20:58Speaker 2: trillion dollars in debt. That's insane, but here we are,
- 21:02Speaker 2: and dis government think that they're going to cut spending
- 21:04Speaker 2: any time soon, at least to the amount that we need. No,
- 21:06Speaker 2: probably not, especially when eighty percent of the budget is
- 21:09Speaker 2: social programs that we're not allowed to touch. We'll talk
- 21:11Speaker 2: about that a little bit later, but I want to
- 21:13Speaker 2: move it to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotline. As you know,
- 21:16Speaker 2: we've been following the change in the Department of Justice.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Is the tide turning and are people starting to be
- 21:22Speaker 2: held accountable to some degree for the actions of threatening
- 21:25Speaker 2: the president? Political violence, corruption going on in society. James
- 21:29Speaker 2: Coby making his video yesterday playing the victim for what
- 21:33Speaker 2: he's having to go through.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Now, well, they're back, this time about a picture of
- 21:38Speaker 3: seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And
- 21:42Speaker 3: this won't be the end of it. But nothing has
- 21:45Speaker 3: changed with me. I'm still innocent, I'm still not afraid,
- 21:50Speaker 3: and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
- 21:53Speaker 2: So let's go. So let's go. That's him. I'm going
- 21:55Speaker 2: to fight this. I'm a victim of society. Is that
- 21:57Speaker 2: where we are? That's where we move to the Patriot
- 21:59Speaker 2: Mobile news Maker Hotline. Happen to have on the Todd
- 22:02Speaker 2: Starnes radio program today. He's a former Navy jag officer,
- 22:05Speaker 2: Judge Advocate General, also former Pentagon veteran constitutional attorney, best
- 22:09Speaker 2: selling author, and so much more happy to have on here,
- 22:12Speaker 2: mister Don Brown Don, how are you, my friend.
- 22:15Speaker 5: Andy, I'm doing right. It's good to be with you today.
- 22:17Speaker 5: I'm a good friend with Todd. Looking forward to chatting
- 22:19Speaker 5: with you as well.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I'm excited to have you here in chat
- 22:21Speaker 2: with us here on the program. This is such a
- 22:24Speaker 2: wild time. And first off, I'm glad to see our
- 22:26Speaker 2: new Attorney General, Todd Blanche actually do some action. In
- 22:29Speaker 2: the past week or so since he's taken that office,
- 22:31Speaker 2: we've now seen the indictment of James Comy. We've seen
- 22:34Speaker 2: the exposing of the Southern Poverty Law Center, We've seen
- 22:36Speaker 2: the rating of the leering centers in Minnesota. But for
- 22:40Speaker 2: just a moment, let's go to James Comy with this indictment,
- 22:43Speaker 2: the picture of the eighty six forty seven on the
- 22:45Speaker 2: seashells by the seashore. Is that going to go anywhere?
- 22:49Speaker 2: Or is this just an open opportunity to try and
- 22:52Speaker 2: bring him back into the course and then get him
- 22:54Speaker 2: on something else. What's your take on this whole thing?
- 22:58Speaker 5: Well, I heard you Pay play a clip of him
- 23:00Speaker 5: in a moment ago. I'm just thinking to poor baby,
- 23:03Speaker 5: after all of the political prosecutions that he pushed himself.
- 23:07Speaker 5: He lied to Congress, he had structed Congress, and he
- 23:09Speaker 5: basically skated when the former A. G. Pam BONDI just
- 23:13Speaker 5: dropped the ball and let those prosecutions slip. That's another story.
- 23:17Speaker 5: But as Todd Blanche said, you know, it was a
- 23:19Speaker 5: federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina
- 23:23Speaker 5: that considered the case and decided there was enough there
- 23:25Speaker 5: to bring an indictment for threatening the president. So they've
- 23:28Speaker 5: invited them for threatening the president and for you know,
- 23:31Speaker 5: transmission of that threat into interstate commerce. And so we'll
- 23:34Speaker 5: see what happens there. There's a Republican judge on the
- 23:37Speaker 5: bench of Louis Flannagan George W. Bush appointee UVA grad.
- 23:43Speaker 5: The issue here is whether or not she's going to
- 23:45Speaker 5: cost her or let it go to the Juris she lets'
- 23:47Speaker 5: go to the jury. Anything can happen, but we're going
- 23:49Speaker 5: to have to see what happens throly on this case.
- 23:51Speaker 5: Is he wanted to keep an eye on. I'm glad
- 23:53Speaker 5: to see Todd Blanch moving on these, I'm especially happy
- 23:56Speaker 5: to see this prosecution of the southern of the Southern
- 23:59Speaker 5: poverty loss, which is a nazimoron in of itself. But
- 24:02Speaker 5: the things are looking in the right direction.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Things are looking in the right direction. It's it's really nice.
- 24:06Speaker 2: Now they're trying to make the claim that the term
- 24:08Speaker 2: eighty six ing doesn't mean to kill, but just means
- 24:11Speaker 2: to remove or to get rid of and throw off
- 24:13Speaker 2: to the side kind of thing based on if we're
- 24:16Speaker 2: just looking at it, and obviously, like you said, he's
- 24:18Speaker 2: got a long history here, but just paceof picture itself
- 24:21Speaker 2: of the eighty six forty seven, is that enough to
- 24:24Speaker 2: declare that you've made a threat against the president of
- 24:27Speaker 2: the United States.
- 24:28Speaker 5: It's going to be up to the judge. It's subjective.
- 24:31Speaker 5: The prosecution is going to have to show the subjectively
- 24:33Speaker 5: coming intended that to be the case you mentioned a
- 24:37Speaker 5: moment ago. Are they going to add other charges and
- 24:40Speaker 5: fortunately the charges in the Eastern District of Virginia probably
- 24:43Speaker 5: are or not people being brought. You can't bring those
- 24:45Speaker 5: in North Kahan anyway. But you know, he says the
- 24:48Speaker 5: thing that really strikes me, He claims that he did
- 24:51Speaker 5: not arrange, you know, the particular group of shells into
- 24:55Speaker 5: that formation. I'm not sure that I believe him on that.
- 24:58Speaker 5: I mean when it just happened. And if you show
- 25:00Speaker 5: that he lied and responding to questions are made a
- 25:04Speaker 5: false material statement, they could possibly add that charge on
- 25:06Speaker 5: as well, which might have a little bit more meat.
- 25:08Speaker 5: That has not happened yet. But you know, in some
- 25:10Speaker 5: circles in eighty six means more than just to cast aside.
- 25:14Speaker 5: So it depends on, you know, what the judge believes.
- 25:16Speaker 5: And there's going to be a lot of briefings both
- 25:18Speaker 5: from the government and the defense.
- 25:19Speaker 2: In this case.
- 25:20Speaker 5: They're going to be fighting first amendment that the subjective
- 25:22Speaker 5: he didn't mean that, and of course the Thistorney's office
- 25:26Speaker 5: is going to be briefing to the contrary. So we'll
- 25:29Speaker 5: see how it breaks out. If this case survived the
- 25:32Speaker 5: initial motion to dismiss, you know anything had happened. Because
- 25:35Speaker 5: this case will be brought in the eastern district of
- 25:37Speaker 5: North carolinan Newburn, which is a conservative county. In this
- 25:40Speaker 5: conservative area, the red area, will see how what happens
- 25:44Speaker 5: if it goes to a jury.
- 25:46Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
- 25:48Speaker 2: For sure. I'm curious to see where they interpret the
- 25:50Speaker 2: eighty six And like you said, he's lied many times before.
- 25:53Speaker 2: That is very strange. You're just walking along the beach
- 25:55Speaker 2: having a great vacation, all of a sudden, well look
- 25:57Speaker 2: at that at eighty six forty seven. Have no idea
- 25:59Speaker 2: where that came from. I do find that interesting. Don
- 26:02Speaker 2: are you seeing? And do you sense the frustration from
- 26:05Speaker 2: a lot of American voters. One of the big issues
- 26:06Speaker 2: when Trump came into office a year ago was to
- 26:10Speaker 2: be a bit more organized, but really hit the reset
- 26:12Speaker 2: button on the corruption in Washington, DC and try and
- 26:16Speaker 2: fight the deep state. And obviously, you working as a
- 26:18Speaker 2: former Pentagon official, working with the military, working with different cases,
- 26:22Speaker 2: you've seen kind of the insight of how this works,
- 26:24Speaker 2: the difficulty to actually expose a lot of this and
- 26:27Speaker 2: the release of the Epstein files that was a botch
- 26:29Speaker 2: under Pam BONDI this here with a lot of this corruption,
- 26:32Speaker 2: the Russia Gate and the text messages from James Comy
- 26:34Speaker 2: and all these other issues that were finally now starting
- 26:37Speaker 2: to see and exposing of talk about the difficulty of
- 26:42Speaker 2: actually dealing with some of these cases. And do you
- 26:45Speaker 2: see a lot of the frustration around the country of
- 26:47Speaker 2: people mad that we're just not seeing people behind bars
- 26:50Speaker 2: where we feel they should be.
- 26:52Speaker 5: Absolutely, I think there has been a nouncin of frustration
- 26:56Speaker 5: and had a book release through Post Heal Press just
- 26:58Speaker 5: for the President's election called Kangaroo Court, and was looking
- 27:02Speaker 5: not only at the political prosecutions against President Trump veberl
- 27:05Speaker 5: four as you remember in Florida, Georgia, DC, and New York,
- 27:09Speaker 5: but looking at other political prosecutions and political prosecutions against
- 27:13Speaker 5: ordinary Americas. You know, take for example, Douglas mackey, to
- 27:17Speaker 5: the cartoonist in Florida through in twenty sixteen, threw a
- 27:20Speaker 5: cartoon about Hillary Quinton voters and was prosecuted in twenty
- 27:23Speaker 5: twenty one on the Biden DOJ for election interference. How
- 27:26Speaker 5: ridiculous is that there would be the mccloskey's that you
- 27:29Speaker 5: remember in Saint Louis, the couple that simply stood in
- 27:32Speaker 5: New York and he's holding an ar and she's waving
- 27:34Speaker 5: a revolver around that wasn't even firable, and the Sorest
- 27:39Speaker 5: prosecutor to troll the garden went after run after them,
- 27:42Speaker 5: both initially on phellowy charge just for exercises second to
- 27:44Speaker 5: them the right. The frustration has been boiling over and
- 27:47Speaker 5: I think this was Pam Bondi's downfall. She just moved
- 27:50Speaker 5: too slowly, had you know, I mean here has Todd
- 27:54Speaker 5: Blanches been in less than a month already, and we've
- 27:56Speaker 5: seen major movement, and with these two cases that we
- 28:00Speaker 5: discussed briefly, and it appears that the investigation is bringing
- 28:03Speaker 5: coming to a climax on Crapper and Bremen, especially in others.
- 28:08Speaker 5: So we let's see what happens. But yes, it has
- 28:10Speaker 5: been extremely frustrating and people have you know, you can't
- 28:14Speaker 5: have a dual system of justice. And if you do
- 28:17Speaker 5: not prosecute these prosecutors, I've been saying there are any
- 28:20Speaker 5: rogue prosecutor laws. These prosecutions would be the Democrats primarily
- 28:24Speaker 5: for political means or an assault on the constitution. You know,
- 28:29Speaker 5: if you ask me, Jack Smith, Well, Tisa, James Alvim
- 28:32Speaker 5: Wragtan all ought to be prosecuted for deprivation and conspiratory
- 28:36Speaker 5: deprived of rights. And I think we're seeing again the
- 28:39Speaker 5: tide come in to the right ration. Hopefully there's going
- 28:41Speaker 5: to be enough time between now at the end of
- 28:43Speaker 5: the cop administration for some of these cases to germinate
- 28:47Speaker 5: and to go to full fruit and to get some convictions.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a work in progress for sure. We're talking
- 28:51Speaker 2: with Don Brown. He's a former at US Navy JAG,
- 28:53Speaker 2: also a former Pentagon veteran, bestselling author and more. The
- 28:57Speaker 2: latest indictment as well from the health side, was some
- 29:00Speaker 2: of the members under doctor Anthony Fauci, aka science himself.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Are you optimistic that maybe we could see some more
- 29:07Speaker 2: answers come out from the COVID pandemic and what happened
- 29:10Speaker 2: under Anthony Fauci with them suppressing freedom of thought and
- 29:14Speaker 2: suppressing information coming out and some of the mandates that
- 29:16Speaker 2: they were doing. Are we going to see any justice
- 29:18Speaker 2: on that front? Do you think?
- 29:20Speaker 5: Well, I sure hope. So, you know, Anthony bat Fauci
- 29:23Speaker 5: is the beneficiary of one of these auto pen partners.
- 29:27Speaker 5: But if you but you know so therefore he did
- 29:29Speaker 5: my book, He's not really been pardoned. The question is
- 29:32Speaker 5: whether the justice but this Apartment is going to challenge that.
- 29:35Speaker 5: But COVID was an absolute assault on the American people.
- 29:39Speaker 5: Information was hidden. I've read Bobby Kennedy's book a couple
- 29:42Speaker 5: of years ago. Two or three years ago, called the
- 29:44Speaker 5: real Anthony Fauci. It is eye opening, you know. Bat
- 29:48Speaker 5: Fauci brought you know this, this medicine in from Africa
- 29:54Speaker 5: and called room dis Severe and if you got COVID
- 29:57Speaker 5: during those years, they would put you in the hospital
- 29:59Speaker 5: and hit you with from severe first. Well and you
- 30:01Speaker 5: may have noticed, but in disavered it was an experimental
- 30:04Speaker 5: drug in Africa being used on ebola and aid stations.
- 30:08Speaker 5: It was pulled off the market in Africa because of
- 30:10Speaker 5: a sixty six to zero percent more tality rate leading
- 30:15Speaker 5: to major organs failure, often kidney failure. I had two
- 30:18Speaker 5: friends who were treated with that stuff and they died
- 30:21Speaker 5: almost you know, instantly, And so there has to be
- 30:25Speaker 5: prosecutions in regard to the whole COVID scam. They went
- 30:29Speaker 5: after iver Mettin, which of course is a recipient the
- 30:32Speaker 5: inventor is a recipient of a Nobel prize for medicine
- 30:36Speaker 5: is cheap and basically we're a lower death race in
- 30:39Speaker 5: third world countries using that other than the expensive jab
- 30:42Speaker 5: and that whole thing needs to be busted up. I really,
- 30:45Speaker 5: you know, when I was running for the Senate and
- 30:47Speaker 5: then you weins second round of step and no, I
- 30:49Speaker 5: guess we did. Okay, we didn't quite win. But when
- 30:51Speaker 5: I brought up the issue of medical freedom and what
- 30:53Speaker 5: was happening during COVID, I'm telling you that was one
- 30:56Speaker 5: of the topics that people would just explode about. There's
- 30:59Speaker 5: still frustration about it, and I hope Todd Blanche will
- 31:01Speaker 5: pursue criminal investigation and prosecutions regard to the actors who
- 31:06Speaker 5: bought so much harm upon the American people to gual
- 31:08Speaker 5: of a scam, especially with the Jabs.
- 31:11Speaker 2: I think a lot of people want to see a
- 31:12Speaker 2: lot of justice on that one. And you're right, when
- 31:14Speaker 2: people got on Ren dezivir At in the hospital, it
- 31:16Speaker 2: was pretty much the death sentence to finish you off,
- 31:18Speaker 2: and not a whole lot of people came off of
- 31:20Speaker 2: Rem Deesevier and actually was doing okay. That was a
- 31:23Speaker 2: really bad moment in history. For sure. You mentioned the
- 31:25Speaker 2: Southern Poverty Law Center. Let's go there for just a moment. Obviously,
- 31:28Speaker 2: we know there's a lot of corruption the NGOs. In
- 31:31Speaker 2: my opinion, I don't know why we have non governmental
- 31:33Speaker 2: organizations in this nation doing the bidding of government with
- 31:36Speaker 2: government funding, but doing it because government's not allowed to
- 31:40Speaker 2: do it. I find that kind of weird. Southern Poverty
- 31:43Speaker 2: Law center fighting radicalism in the nation and then being
- 31:46Speaker 2: exposed for funding radicalism because well, we don't want radicalism
- 31:49Speaker 2: to go away, or else we'd have nothing left to
- 31:51Speaker 2: fight and therefore we'd become irrelevant. Is this a normal
- 31:55Speaker 2: practice do you think in government? And are we just
- 31:56Speaker 2: scratching the surface on the corruption here?
- 31:59Speaker 5: Well, you touched on a comment that Elon must basically
- 32:02Speaker 5: made back in the beginning days, you know of the
- 32:06Speaker 5: ab Doge that these nngos are formed for altruistic purposes,
- 32:12Speaker 5: at least on the surface, but they wind up getting
- 32:14Speaker 5: government money. They wind up, you know, getting contributions and
- 32:18Speaker 5: then spending the money to push leftist causes. The Southern
- 32:21Speaker 5: Property Law Center is a is a prime example of that.
- 32:24Speaker 5: First of all, as I mentioned earlier, it's oxymoron to
- 32:27Speaker 5: call it a Southern property law center. I'm a goad.
- 32:29Speaker 5: It sits on, you know, an endowment of over one
- 32:32Speaker 5: hundred million dollars, and I was taking a look at
- 32:35Speaker 5: the indictment showing that in a ten year period from
- 32:38Speaker 5: two thousand fourteen twenty twenty three, it was fundling at
- 32:43Speaker 5: least three million dollars to these violent organizations such as
- 32:47Speaker 5: the Ku Kutz Klan, the Area Nation and the North
- 32:51Speaker 5: American Socialist League and Our Party, I should say, and
- 32:59Speaker 5: Fumenting Division. In other words, there was one alleged allegation of
- 33:03Speaker 5: two hundred and seventy thousand dollars given to an insider
- 33:06Speaker 5: who helped to actually plan the Charlottesville protest, under which
- 33:12Speaker 5: they claims went to racist So they were fueling racism,
- 33:15Speaker 5: it appears, with their money, so they would have, you know,
- 33:18Speaker 5: an excuse to raise more money. They were representing to
- 33:22Speaker 5: the people that they're raising money and it's packed deductible,
- 33:25Speaker 5: and we're going to fight the Kupplus plan wing to
- 33:27Speaker 5: end the Klan, We're going to end the Area Nations,
- 33:29Speaker 5: when in fact they were fueling money apparently under the
- 33:32Speaker 5: back to those organizations so they could race space. This
- 33:35Speaker 5: whole race bating thing's been going on for a while.
- 33:37Speaker 5: Jesse Jack is guilty of it. Al Sharpton took to
- 33:40Speaker 5: another level. You've got to create the notion that there's
- 33:44Speaker 5: racial violence and to raise money. And in the southern
- 33:46Speaker 5: part of the Law Center has been in the middle
- 33:48Speaker 5: of that, and the attorney General and Cash Petel are
- 33:51Speaker 5: saying this is just the tip of the iceberg. I
- 33:53Speaker 5: believe you want to see individual indictments. Right now, only
- 33:58Speaker 5: this SPLC has been indicted as the organization, but individual
- 34:01Speaker 5: indictments are likely to follow, and I think that is
- 34:03Speaker 5: also long overdoing. I'm applaud the Justice Department for finally
- 34:08Speaker 5: stepping up to one of these big NGOs, and I
- 34:09Speaker 5: hope others are going to be in the target and
- 34:11Speaker 5: Force were with.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Yeah, it is wild to watch us all play out,
- 34:15Speaker 2: and ironically, a lot of the money, especially the three
- 34:17Speaker 2: million dollars that we've seen exposed going to these organizations
- 34:20Speaker 2: happening when exactly when Donald Trump's been running for office
- 34:23Speaker 2: back in twenty fourteen, all they up to twenty twenty three.
- 34:26Speaker 2: So at the same time that they're the same ones
- 34:28Speaker 2: that said that hate crimes have been on the rise,
- 34:30Speaker 2: that racism has been on the rise, white supremacy has
- 34:33Speaker 2: been on the rise, and obviously it's because Donald Trump
- 34:35Speaker 2: encouraged these individuals to come out of the woodworks and
- 34:38Speaker 2: actually be out there was the same time they were
- 34:39Speaker 2: getting millions of dollars from this organization, which is kind
- 34:43Speaker 2: of ironic. Last question, for you, and I appreciate your
- 34:45Speaker 2: time done here on the Top Starnes Radio program. Between
- 34:49Speaker 2: this and then, of course, the the medicaid scams, the
- 34:52Speaker 2: Medicare scams that we're seeing with the Transparency task course,
- 34:55Speaker 2: with JD Vance, doctor Oz shutting down hospice centers, the
- 34:58Speaker 2: leering centers that were in instigating Now, how much money
- 35:02Speaker 2: do you think theoretically that we could be saving when
- 35:04Speaker 2: we cut out some of this fraudulent spending And was
- 35:06Speaker 2: it institutionalized from the get go do you think.
- 35:09Speaker 5: Well, the second part of the question, yes, I believe
- 35:12Speaker 5: institutionalized from the get go. You mentioned earlier in your
- 35:14Speaker 5: monologue before you brought me on about a national debt
- 35:17Speaker 5: now knocking on the door of forty trillion dollars, and
- 35:21Speaker 5: if you eliminate the welfare state, and frankly, a lot
- 35:24Speaker 5: of the welfare state is driven through these NGO scams,
- 35:28Speaker 5: maybe you can at least reverse the trend and start
- 35:31Speaker 5: attacking that debt. If we lose the dollar and the
- 35:34Speaker 5: national debt explosion threatens the dollar, we have lost and
- 35:38Speaker 5: we're going to become poor economically. President Trump himself as
- 35:42Speaker 5: to the losing the dollar will be the equivalent of
- 35:44Speaker 5: losing the World War, and these NGOs are graph it
- 35:47Speaker 5: has spent on them, the waste that we're seeing as
- 35:50Speaker 5: we're going to see through the Southern property loss and
- 35:52Speaker 5: our prosecution and hopefully others. I'm not a big fan
- 35:54Speaker 5: of Bill A. Molinda Gates Foundation. Why are they into
- 35:57Speaker 5: why are they into vaccines? Why are they in the
- 36:00Speaker 5: population control? All these need to be busted up, and
- 36:03Speaker 5: the money needed to return to the Treasury of the
- 36:05Speaker 5: United States to try to do some of his debt. Yes,
- 36:07Speaker 5: I think that that's a big reason we're in trouble,
- 36:09Speaker 5: because we're throwing so much money into these scans.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and the biggest way to fight it is
- 36:15Speaker 2: actually be aware of it and getting that knowledge, which
- 36:17Speaker 2: we are the exposing and the disclosure on many different
- 36:19Speaker 2: fronts is happening right before our eyes. Don Brown, we
- 36:21Speaker 2: appreciate it very much, my friend. Thanks for coming on
- 36:23Speaker 2: the Tod starn Show. Let's do it again soon.
- 36:25Speaker 5: Thank you, Andy, you spend an honor. Talk to you soon.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Hey, you bet, we'll do it again soon. Got to
- 36:29Speaker 2: take a break your phone calls on this and more
- 36:30Speaker 2: when we come back here on the Todd Starnes radio program.
- 36:42Speaker 2: All right, wealk back to it, Todd Starnes radio program,
- 36:44Speaker 2: Man this first one flying right on by, thanks again
- 36:46Speaker 2: to Don Brown on the program. Interesting perspective on this one.
- 36:50Speaker 2: I'm curious to see where this legal suit is going
- 36:52Speaker 2: to play out for the indictment on James Comy, the
- 36:55Speaker 2: victimhood that he says that he's under, I'm gonna fight
- 36:57Speaker 2: this system. I trust the legal of course, he trust
- 36:59Speaker 2: the legal system. You know why, because the legal system
- 37:02Speaker 2: usually predominantly historically that's very well protecting progressives. Now it
- 37:07Speaker 2: depends on what court system this goes into, right because
- 37:10Speaker 2: if there are the more progressive court systems that this
- 37:14Speaker 2: goes they could throw it out very easily. But at
- 37:16Speaker 2: the same time, it's about knowing and you know now
- 37:20Speaker 2: what's going on. You know now the games that they play,
- 37:22Speaker 2: and hopefully we can start using that to fight when
- 37:25Speaker 2: they try to play the same game moving forward, which
- 37:27Speaker 2: is what's happening quite a bit across the board right now.
- 37:30Speaker 2: In all the faux rage about political violence, while they
- 37:33Speaker 2: continued to say, I mean we had King Jeffries literally
- 37:35Speaker 2: on TV over this past weekend before the assassination attempt
- 37:39Speaker 2: last weekend, that said that Donald Trump was the dumbest
- 37:42Speaker 2: man to ever sit in the Oval Office, when I
- 37:45Speaker 2: mean that's factually incorrect because he's actually the guy with
- 37:47Speaker 2: the highest IQ that's ever been tested to be President
- 37:50Speaker 2: of the United States. But they don't care about that.
- 37:53Speaker 2: He's the dumbest guy to ever sit in the White House.
- 37:54Speaker 2: And they continue to fight, fight, fight, which when we
- 37:57Speaker 2: come back in the next hour, we're going to talk
- 37:59Speaker 2: about that anger as they continue to fight, fight, fight,
- 38:02Speaker 2: because they are losing ground and I smell their desperation.
- 38:06Speaker 2: We'll cover some of that. Andy, who's're sitting in for
- 38:08Speaker 2: Todd Starns on a pre Friday celebration, We got lots
- 38:10Speaker 2: more to get to for the Todd Sterns Radio Program.
- 38:12Speaker 2: We'll be back.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 38:37Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch, American top Stars.
- 38:50Speaker 2: What is up? My friends? Welcome into it. It is
- 38:52Speaker 2: the Todd Sterns Radio Program. It is not Todd Starnes. However,
- 38:55Speaker 2: he is back at it soon before you know it,
- 38:58Speaker 2: so we will look forward to him getting back behind
- 38:59Speaker 2: the microphone. We always miss him dearly when he is out,
- 39:02Speaker 2: but it is such a great honor to sit in
- 39:04Speaker 2: for him whenever we get a chance to do so.
- 39:05Speaker 2: My name is Andy Hoosier, and I will be sitting
- 39:08Speaker 2: in for the Todd Sterns Radio program today all day
- 39:10Speaker 2: long for your pre Friday celebration. Moving that Liberty University
- 39:13Speaker 2: Studios from Memphis, Tennessee out here to Wichita, Kansas. KQAM,
- 39:17Speaker 2: the Big Talker, my flagship station and a great affiliate
- 39:20Speaker 2: of the Todd Starnes At Radio program. There is a
- 39:22Speaker 2: lot going on for a Thursday today. Congress is working
- 39:26Speaker 2: hard on things. We'll break down what those things may
- 39:29Speaker 2: or may not be here in just a moment. They
- 39:31Speaker 2: had a late night I saw some video from different
- 39:33Speaker 2: elected officials doing some live feeds and video recordings on
- 39:37Speaker 2: their social media At about eleven o'clock midnight last night,
- 39:40Speaker 2: they were still moving through the Chamber voting on issues
- 39:43Speaker 2: from the FAIZA A reauthorization because that deadline was at
- 39:47Speaker 2: midnight last night for both chambers to come up with
- 39:50Speaker 2: their FISA reauthorization. They had some different versions. The House
- 39:53Speaker 2: had passed one yesterday, the Senate was working on theirs.
- 39:56Speaker 2: We'll see what that actual final detail look like. Also,
- 39:58Speaker 2: a farm bill that caused some ruckus and some big
- 40:01Speaker 2: wins I would say at least some big wins that
- 40:03Speaker 2: happen on that front. So we'll get to that. We
- 40:04Speaker 2: have some election updates as well across the nation. Apparently
- 40:08Speaker 2: some Democrats dropping out of races in different states and
- 40:12Speaker 2: maybe gaining some momentum in others and maybe not places
- 40:15Speaker 2: that you would normally think. So we'll break that all
- 40:17Speaker 2: down for you in just a moment. I want to
- 40:18Speaker 2: hear from you nine oh one two six zero five,
- 40:20Speaker 2: nine two six, nine zero one two six zero five
- 40:22Speaker 2: to nine two six if you want to chat with
- 40:24Speaker 2: us here on the Todd Starnes Radio program. Bottom of
- 40:26Speaker 2: this hour, we have Reagan Willbanks. He is the executive
- 40:30Speaker 2: admin administrator for Prayer at the Heart organization. We're going
- 40:34Speaker 2: to talk about gen zers, the young generation, and the
- 40:37Speaker 2: mental health issues, the flood of anxiety and those that
- 40:41Speaker 2: are struggling with issues for numerous different reasons. Why is
- 40:45Speaker 2: that and what can we do to fix it. We'll
- 40:47Speaker 2: do that with Prayer at the Heart with Reagan Willbanks
- 40:49Speaker 2: coming up and just say a little bit some big
- 40:52Speaker 2: wins though the past few days, and when I talk
- 40:54Speaker 2: about big wins. I mean is Donald Trump would say, Bigley,
- 40:57Speaker 2: we saw some major wins coming out of the Supreme courts,
- 40:59Speaker 2: and it has led to a snowball effect this last week. Now,
- 41:03Speaker 2: this is it's good news because I always like a
- 41:05Speaker 2: happy ending to a story. We'll see what the happy
- 41:07Speaker 2: ending looks like, and I'm assuming it's going to be
- 41:09Speaker 2: a happy ending. But last week was a bit of
- 41:11Speaker 2: a rough one. If you remember the vote on the
- 41:13Speaker 2: Virginia redistricting, where Virginians ended up voting to want to
- 41:17Speaker 2: do their redistricting, going from one of the most fair
- 41:20Speaker 2: congressional makeups in the nation with a six to five
- 41:24Speaker 2: makeup six Democrats five Republicans, to now redistrict and say, hey, Texas,
- 41:29Speaker 2: you want to do yours, here's ours, And they ended
- 41:31Speaker 2: up redrawing it to LBA ten to one. That obviously
- 41:33Speaker 2: being challenged in court, and one judge has already said, yeah,
- 41:36Speaker 2: that's not quite right. I don't know how you can
- 41:38Speaker 2: say that with forty percent of the population in Virginia
- 41:41Speaker 2: being registered Republicans, how all of a sudden you're going
- 41:43Speaker 2: to only have representation in one congressional district out of eleven.
- 41:47Speaker 2: That's kind of weird, doesn't make a whole lot of sense,
- 41:50Speaker 2: but they were really excited about that one. The big
- 41:53Speaker 2: news yesterday was the US Supreme Court ended up shooting
- 41:56Speaker 2: down what they called racial jerry mandering in the state
- 42:00Speaker 2: of Louisiana, where it was predominantly in only black districts. Now,
- 42:05Speaker 2: according to the Democrats, they say that is a complete
- 42:08Speaker 2: violation of the nineteen sixty five Civil Rights Act. And
- 42:12Speaker 2: I don't understand that one because I was reading through
- 42:14Speaker 2: the nineteen sixty five Civil Rights Act and I don't
- 42:17Speaker 2: see anything in there where it says that in order
- 42:19Speaker 2: for you to have a right to vote and a
- 42:23Speaker 2: right to be represented in the nation, that you have
- 42:25Speaker 2: to do it specifically based on race, and you have
- 42:28Speaker 2: to have congressional lines that are drawn only based on
- 42:32Speaker 2: racial preferences. In fact, I don't see that being written
- 42:36Speaker 2: anywhere inside or outside the Voting Rights Act of nineteen
- 42:40Speaker 2: sixty five that was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, who,
- 42:42Speaker 2: by the way, was the guy that said he would
- 42:44Speaker 2: have the minority communities voting Democrats for generations because of
- 42:47Speaker 2: how racist that individual was. So that's kind of ironic.
- 42:51Speaker 2: But I don't see anywhere where you have to base
- 42:54Speaker 2: congressional lines based on race. We got to go back
- 42:57Speaker 2: to the fundamentals in this country of what a congressional
- 43:00Speaker 2: line and what the congressional districts are supposed to be doing. Obviously,
- 43:04Speaker 2: in Congress, there are two chambers of Congress, right, three
- 43:06Speaker 2: branches of government. Two chambers of Congress. You got the
- 43:09Speaker 2: upper chamber, which is the Senate. Every state has two
- 43:11Speaker 2: senators than you have based on population the lower chamber.
- 43:15Speaker 2: That's a better representation of the people in the House
- 43:18Speaker 2: of Representatives, and that's supposed to be not based on
- 43:21Speaker 2: skin color, not based on race, not based on ideology,
- 43:25Speaker 2: but based on population size and based on the needs
- 43:29Speaker 2: of that population. And for a long time there's been
- 43:32Speaker 2: a lot of gerrymandering from both sides of the aisle.
- 43:35Speaker 2: We gotta be fair here, but for the most part,
- 43:38Speaker 2: we try to find ways to represent the population and
- 43:40Speaker 2: their needs at that time. And while there may be
- 43:43Speaker 2: slight preference need differences between racial groups, at the end
- 43:48Speaker 2: of the day, it's really more about the style of living. Dylan,
- 43:51Speaker 2: jump on here for just a moment and see if
- 43:52Speaker 2: this makes sense. Is there a difference or is there
- 43:55Speaker 2: a better representation because your skin color is different, or
- 44:00Speaker 2: because of a difference. And let's say living in a
- 44:03Speaker 2: city compared to living in rural communities, which one is
- 44:06Speaker 2: the better representation if you try to draw congressional line,
- 44:08Speaker 2: in your opinion.
- 44:10Speaker 7: Probably not the skin color one.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Not the skin color one. It would be better to
- 44:16Speaker 2: have a better representation of based on living conditions, right,
- 44:21Speaker 2: based on city needs, based on rural community needs small towns,
- 44:25Speaker 2: and obviously small towns have a lot of different needs.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Between farming communities and agricultural communities, between the rural health
- 44:31Speaker 2: care which it's hard to have hospitals in some of
- 44:33Speaker 2: these areas, those are vastly different needs. Then let's say
- 44:36Speaker 2: a city with the inner cities especially or somewhere else where,
- 44:39Speaker 2: we have a lot more social programs and a lot
- 44:42Speaker 2: more of the healthcare needs and emergency responder services. Vastly
- 44:46Speaker 2: different demographics there, right, That's not necessarily based on skin color,
- 44:51Speaker 2: that's based on actual needs. That's where the congressional lines
- 44:54Speaker 2: are supposed to be drawn. And there's a lot of
- 44:56Speaker 2: gerrymandering there, which is why California has such bad drawn
- 44:59Speaker 2: lines right now. The state of Illinois has such bad
- 45:01Speaker 2: drawn lines, right now most of the East Coast barely
- 45:04Speaker 2: has any Republican representation whatsoever, especially in that northeast corner
- 45:08Speaker 2: corner of the states, and we're starting to get it
- 45:10Speaker 2: all out. When Texas started this movement because of Donald
- 45:13Speaker 2: Trump saying we should probably redraw the lines based on
- 45:15Speaker 2: the presidential election of twenty twenty four, he said, Texas
- 45:19Speaker 2: went dramatically more read in fact, Star County, the most
- 45:24Speaker 2: southern county, or one of the most southern counties in Texas,
- 45:27Speaker 2: that is like ninety eight percent hispanic for the first
- 45:30Speaker 2: time in over one hundred years, went Republican in that race.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Maybe we should redraw lines to better represent and reflect
- 45:36Speaker 2: the voter base that actually turned out and the way
- 45:39Speaker 2: that the state of Texas actually went. That's where this
- 45:41Speaker 2: all got started. Now Democrats, predominantly both sides have been
- 45:44Speaker 2: doing it. Democrats have been better at it because again
- 45:47Speaker 2: they create the laws of the system, They create the
- 45:49Speaker 2: rules of the game here, and that they've been able
- 45:51Speaker 2: to utilize and take advantage of the system. Now that
- 45:53Speaker 2: we started it, they said, no, no, watch it. We
- 45:56Speaker 2: are the masters of this game because we literally wrote
- 45:59Speaker 2: the rules for the game, and we're going to show
- 46:01Speaker 2: you how it's done. So California went more radical, Virginia's
- 46:05Speaker 2: trying to go more radical, and the Supreme Court is
- 46:07Speaker 2: starting to push back. They're ruling. Yesterday, I'm sure you
- 46:10Speaker 2: saw Supreme Court making a decision in the state of
- 46:12Speaker 2: Louisiana that you're not allowed to have a district based
- 46:14Speaker 2: on racial jerry mandering. That's not okay. And because of that,
- 46:19Speaker 2: the civil rights advocates saying that now there's no representation
- 46:22Speaker 2: for black folk in this country because of districts that
- 46:25Speaker 2: are not solely only representing the black communities. That came
- 46:29Speaker 2: Jeffrey making a statement yesterday evening and said, this.
- 46:31Speaker 8: Where affirmative action is gone. Diversity is gone, equity gone,
- 46:37Speaker 8: inclusion gone, racial tolerance gone, the Voting Rights Act largely gone.
- 46:43Speaker 8: But guess what, extremists, We're still here and we're not
- 46:48Speaker 8: going anywhere now.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Oh man, there's a lot to break down on there, right.
- 46:53Speaker 2: I know. I can hear you fuming and seething through
- 46:55Speaker 2: the radio as well. Look, all of those things being
- 46:59Speaker 2: gone on, those are good things. I gotta ask you
- 47:03Speaker 2: a question. And I know Todd and you guys being
- 47:05Speaker 2: based there in Memphis, and you know the minority populations
- 47:08Speaker 2: that listen to the program. Here I am specifically asking
- 47:11Speaker 2: you and call into the program today nine one two
- 47:12Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. How do you end racism?
- 47:16Speaker 2: How do you end the racial segregation and racial differences
- 47:20Speaker 2: in society? For all of us to be happy, go lucky,
- 47:23Speaker 2: sing Kumbaya, hold hands, and I'll get along. In my opinion,
- 47:26Speaker 2: and I'm using the words of Morgan Freeman here in
- 47:28Speaker 2: an interview where you end racism by what not talking
- 47:32Speaker 2: about race? You don't mention it, You don't bring that
- 47:35Speaker 2: up to be the divisive issue. As an innocent, sweet
- 47:39Speaker 2: young child of society, they won't know racism and notice
- 47:43Speaker 2: the difference of individuals unless you specifically point that out. Hey,
- 47:47Speaker 2: they're different because of their skin color. They're different because
- 47:52Speaker 2: of their religion. They're different because and by putting that
- 47:55Speaker 2: seed into their brain. Now that's all you think about.
- 47:59Speaker 2: You don't think about the art and Luther King idea
- 48:01Speaker 2: of you know, the based on you know, jetsoone, based
- 48:04Speaker 2: on their character, not based on their skin color. You
- 48:06Speaker 2: don't think about that any longer. You're now thinking because
- 48:08Speaker 2: that scene has been planted. Oh yeah, they're different and
- 48:11Speaker 2: it's in your mind subconsciously because you were told they
- 48:14Speaker 2: were different. If you don't talk about that, it's not
- 48:17Speaker 2: a thing, and you fight it that way. But because
- 48:20Speaker 2: of the Sequeme Jeffery is very angry. De EI's gone good.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Racial segregation's gone good. Where is gone? Affirmative Action's gone good?
- 48:28Speaker 2: We don't need that is gone. Diversity. We don't need
- 48:31Speaker 2: diversity training. We just want to all get along and
- 48:34Speaker 2: do our thing right. Equity gone. I don't even know equity.
- 48:37Speaker 2: That's just a dumb one. That's for those that don't know.
- 48:39Speaker 2: Equity means value, right means worth. If we're pushing not
- 48:44Speaker 2: only equality but equity, that's literally saying, hey, government, you
- 48:47Speaker 2: had to decide my worth in society. That was the
- 48:49Speaker 2: dumbest move they ever tried to make it. I'm glad
- 48:51Speaker 2: we're starting to push back on that one too.
- 48:52Speaker 9: Inclusion.
- 48:53Speaker 2: God, I can't it's so ridiculous. That has led to you.
- 48:57Speaker 2: By the way, the big decision yesterday from the Supreme
- 48:59Speaker 2: Court on the State of Louisiana as they're looking at
- 49:02Speaker 2: redrawing their lines now has Alabama pushing a redistricting saying
- 49:05Speaker 2: that many of their lines have been racially jerrymandered. They're
- 49:08Speaker 2: looking at redrawing some of theirs, winning a potential new
- 49:11Speaker 2: couple new Republican seats. In Alabama, they're being challenged in
- 49:14Speaker 2: court for potential racial jerrymandering for their congressional lines the Democrats. Again,
- 49:19Speaker 2: Democrats have drawn over the past few decades, and as
- 49:23Speaker 2: of last night, late last night, the state of Florida
- 49:25Speaker 2: has officially voted on their redistricting that could potentially gain
- 49:29Speaker 2: Republicans for seat in the state of Florida. And the
- 49:33Speaker 2: childlike mentality was at bay as they voted and they
- 49:37Speaker 2: saw the official numbers come in, with one Democrat with
- 49:40Speaker 2: a bullhorn in the Congressional House, angry about that vote
- 49:44Speaker 2: officially finalizing the representative persons. Molocca has I got to
- 50:00Speaker 2: stuff for just a moment. So again she's walking up
- 50:02Speaker 2: and down the aisle of their state House chambers. They're
- 50:07Speaker 2: doing the vote, they're finalizing the vote, they're counting the vote,
- 50:09Speaker 2: and as the vote's coming in and finalizing everything, she's
- 50:12Speaker 2: walking up and down the aisle with a bullhorn. This
- 50:14Speaker 2: is a violation of the constitution. Now, remember this is
- 50:16Speaker 2: the Democrat side that doesn't care about the Constitution or else,
- 50:20Speaker 2: eighty percent of the federal government wouldn't be there because
- 50:22Speaker 2: it's all a violation of the federal government and what
- 50:24Speaker 2: the Constitution says federal government is and is not allowed
- 50:27Speaker 2: to do. So they only use it when it's convenient
- 50:30Speaker 2: for them. But like a child who is told no
- 50:34Speaker 2: walking past a candy store and drops down and starts
- 50:36Speaker 2: flailing on the side of the street, they throw a
- 50:38Speaker 2: temper tantrum with a bullhorn in their legislative chambers, saying
- 50:43Speaker 2: that you're violating the constitution by re drawing the lines
- 50:47Speaker 2: and redistricting in the state of Florida.
- 50:49Speaker 10: Very angry individuals.
- 51:02Speaker 2: Represented. Person's melca has wave clothes. The question now recurs.
- 51:06Speaker 3: On final passage of HB one D, the clerk will
- 51:09Speaker 3: unlock the machine and the.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Members will proceed to vote. Have all members voted, Have
- 51:15Speaker 2: all members voted? Chaos. The clerk will lock the machine
- 51:20Speaker 2: and announce the vote eighty three yas twenty nay's. Mister speaker,
- 51:25Speaker 2: show the bill passes. Read the next bill.
- 51:28Speaker 11: None on the desk, mister speaker, all right.
- 51:31Speaker 2: The absolute chaos. I don't know why they didn't escort
- 51:33Speaker 2: that individual out office. If you're acting that way, completely unprofessional,
- 51:37Speaker 2: completely being a complete nuisance in that chamber with a
- 51:41Speaker 2: bull horned screaming and yelling you. It's like the bickering hens.
- 51:46Speaker 2: That's what they do. And when they don't get what
- 51:48Speaker 2: they want, they have no problem causing an issue and
- 51:50Speaker 2: throwing a complete temper tantrum. It's the end of the
- 51:52Speaker 2: world to them if they don't get everything they want.
- 51:55Speaker 2: Why was she not removed from from the chamber? And
- 51:57Speaker 2: why was she not removed from office? To me, that's
- 52:00Speaker 2: completely unprofessional. Shouldn't be allowed to do that? Absolute and sanity.

- 53:41Speaker 2: and it sounds like this this Supreme Court case with
- 53:44Speaker 2: saying that the racial gerrymandering of Losianna. And you have
- 53:47Speaker 2: to you have to say that with the accident, right Dylan,
- 53:49Speaker 2: you have to say. You can't just say Louisyanna. You

- 54:03Speaker 2: views expressed by Andy How'sier did not represent the tot
- 54:05Speaker 2: Starns radio program, But the Supreme Court case has shaken
- 54:11Speaker 2: some from the Democrats side. The panic is set in
- 54:14Speaker 2: that Donald Trump may win this one at the end
- 54:16Speaker 2: of the day, the redrawing of lines, the winning a
- 54:19Speaker 2: few seats across the board. We have Alabama pushing for it. Now.
- 54:22Speaker 2: Florida just voted last night, and now, not twenty minutes ago.
- 54:26Speaker 2: President Trump sending out a truth social saying I had
- 54:28Speaker 2: a very good conversation with Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee
- 54:32Speaker 2: this morning, wherein he stated that he would work hard
- 54:34Speaker 2: to correct the unconstitutional flaw and the congressional maps of
- 54:38Speaker 2: the Great State of Tennessee. Likewise, all the other political
- 54:41Speaker 2: representatives of Tennessee had promised to do so. This should
- 54:44Speaker 2: give us one extra seat and help save our country
- 54:47Speaker 2: from the radical left Democrats and their country destroying policies
- 54:50Speaker 2: of high tax, open borders, transgender mutilation, defunding the police,
- 54:55Speaker 2: ice and border patrol, no voter id, soft on crime,
- 54:59Speaker 2: and so much more. Thank you, Governor Lee, push hard.
- 55:02Speaker 2: President Donald J. Trump sodell on you guys in Tennessee.
- 55:05Speaker 2: You might actually see some redrawing of lines there and
- 55:07Speaker 2: the correction of what he says was an unconstitutional flaw
- 55:11Speaker 2: in the congressional maps from Tennessee. I don't know what
- 55:14Speaker 2: that looks like. I'm not familiar with the congressional lines
- 55:16Speaker 2: in that state. But this is another step in trying
- 55:19Speaker 2: to correct that course. As we said in the first segment,
- 55:22Speaker 2: the Democrats both sides of gerrymandered. One side of it
- 55:25Speaker 2: is very very good. Republicans have not been very good
- 55:28Speaker 2: at it. Democrats or masters of it because they literally
- 55:31Speaker 2: write the laws. For example, the state of Colorado. I'm
- 55:34Speaker 2: gonna pick on them for just a moment. That's where
- 55:36Speaker 2: I originally came from, growing up in Colorado. Most of
- 55:39Speaker 2: you may recognize the name of Boulder, Colorado, one of
- 55:42Speaker 2: the most progressive, liberal Democrat areas in the entire nation. Really,
- 55:46Speaker 2: Boulder County itself, outside of the city of Boulder itself,
- 55:50Speaker 2: very republican, very rural, very red, a lot of farming community.
- 55:54Speaker 2: The way they drew the lines in that district was
- 55:56Speaker 2: like a pie shape because the city of Boulder was
- 55:59Speaker 2: in the middle of the county, in the middle of
- 56:01Speaker 2: the district, and they branched it off to make it
- 56:04Speaker 2: a pie shape to where there's a portion of the
- 56:06Speaker 2: city in every single district in that area. So that way,
- 56:10Speaker 2: it would turn the entire county blue, and it would
- 56:12Speaker 2: turn that entire district blue because of the pie shapes
- 56:15Speaker 2: that they actually turned it into. To have a representation
- 56:18Speaker 2: and a reflection of that city of Boulder in all
- 56:22Speaker 2: those community rural communities in that area. That's what they've done,
- 56:26Speaker 2: and they're very smart and they're like, wow, we're just
- 56:27Speaker 2: trying to balance out the population size. But that's kind
- 56:30Speaker 2: of crazy to me. That's not a proper representation. And
- 56:34Speaker 2: like we mentioned, two vastly different needs between those communities.
- 56:38Speaker 2: But that's what gerrymandering looks like, and Democrats have been
- 56:41Speaker 2: very good at doing that. We got lots of worm
- 56:42Speaker 2: coming up around the corner for the Todd Starns Wady
- 56:44Speaker 2: to Go programs to hear all right, welcome back to
- 57:06Speaker 2: it Todd Starnes radio program, and Andy, who you're sitting
- 57:08Speaker 2: in for Todd Starns today, if you want to jump
- 57:10Speaker 2: on the program nine oh one two six zero five,
- 57:12Speaker 2: nine two six, It's always great to have you, especially
- 57:14Speaker 2: for a pre Friday celebration. We have some more breaking news,
- 57:17Speaker 2: by the way, Dylan, did we not say a lot
- 57:20Speaker 2: of things happening on the show today. Not only is
- 57:22Speaker 2: Donald Trump pushing for more redistricting, the state of Tennessee
- 57:25Speaker 2: now announcing that they will be looking at potentially gaining
- 57:28Speaker 2: one more seat for Republicans and there for their unconstitutional
- 57:31Speaker 2: drawing of their lines. Breaking news as of right now.
- 57:34Speaker 2: NBC News hat tip to that one that it sounds
- 57:37Speaker 2: like Department of Homeland Security may be officially funded and
- 57:41Speaker 2: ending the record seventy five day partial government shutdown for DHS,
- 57:45Speaker 2: that includes FEMA, that includes ICE, that includes border patrol
- 57:49Speaker 2: and other organizations and programs as it was done by
- 57:53Speaker 2: the House that ended up voting on the Senate bill,
- 57:55Speaker 2: and they voted by voice vote on that one. And
- 57:59Speaker 2: it sounds like and maybe going to President Donald Trump.
- 58:01Speaker 2: So we will break some of that and talk about
- 58:03Speaker 2: it here in just a little bit. But good news.
- 58:04Speaker 2: We could see the end of the shutdown from the
- 58:08Speaker 2: Trump administration from at least from Democrats accusing the Trump
- 58:12Speaker 2: administration for holding UPDHS funding white because they wanted ICE
- 58:15Speaker 2: to be drained of all their funding and shut down
- 58:17Speaker 2: at Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Not today evil Democrats that
- 58:23Speaker 2: wanted two shutdown government programs. So yeah, big news here
- 58:26Speaker 2: and congratulations. We'll see what that looks like. We'll cover
- 58:28Speaker 2: that in just a little bit. But want of shift gears.
- 58:30Speaker 2: Moving over to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker hotlines. I want
- 58:33Speaker 2: to talk for just a moment about some I guess
- 58:36Speaker 2: more societal issues. There was a headline, Let's see if
- 58:39Speaker 2: I can find it again. Here there was a story.
- 58:41Speaker 2: Oh here it is hat tip to studyfines dot com
- 58:44Speaker 2: on this one. One third of Americans are having a
- 58:47Speaker 2: quote existential crisis right now. Now, that's I mean, take
- 58:52Speaker 2: that as you will, as that's over exaggerated, is it legitimate?
- 58:56Speaker 2: I know that mental health issues have been a focal
- 58:58Speaker 2: point for a long time. We need to folks us
- 59:00Speaker 2: on more that. I'm glad we're focusing on more of that.
- 59:02Speaker 2: But the fact that all of us are so so
- 59:04Speaker 2: high strung all day. Are we getting better? And what
- 59:07Speaker 2: about the young generation Generation Z and the anxiety they have,
- 59:11Speaker 2: the suicidal tendency, social media, mental health issues and more.
- 59:14Speaker 2: That's where we want to go to with our Patriot
- 59:16Speaker 2: Mobile newsmaker hotline. Happy to have on the program as
- 59:18Speaker 2: he is the executive administrator for the organization Prayer at
- 59:21Speaker 2: the Heart. Happy to have on here at Reagan, Will Banks, Reagan,
- 59:24Speaker 2: how are you, my friend?
- 59:26Speaker 5: I'm doing so well. Andy. It's a pleasure to be
- 59:28Speaker 5: on the show with you today.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Yeah. I appreciate you jumping on here, and I'm glad
- 59:31Speaker 2: you guys are focusing on this issue. I have a
- 59:35Speaker 2: hard time believing that we have so many people that
- 59:38Speaker 2: are under such mental anxiety every day. I've read a
- 59:41Speaker 2: story before the average fifth or sixth grader has the
- 59:44Speaker 2: same anxiety level of those that were in psychiatric hospitals
- 59:47Speaker 2: back in the nineteen fifties, and those are middle schoolers.
- 59:50Speaker 2: We have a generation coming up where almost a third
- 59:53Speaker 2: of the population are on anti anxiety meds. In some aspect,
- 59:56Speaker 2: what the heck's going on here, Reagan? Why are we
- 59:58Speaker 2: seeing so many angry and frustrated people?
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: You know, you've got to look at what shaped the generation.
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: Every generation has these kind of keystone events that have
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: caused this to form and shape how they view the world.
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: And gen Z is formed by a lot of change
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: and a lot of anxiety inducing events. Most notably it
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: would of course be the COVID nineteen lockdown, which turned
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: the world on its head. So gen Z's coming up
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: with their key times for most of them, whether they
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: were in college or high school, and then everything's different
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: all of a sudden. Then the world never went back
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: to normal. And then right on the heels of that,
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: you have this AI boom that's really started in the
- 1:00:44Speaker 5: last few years, completely reshaping how education is done, how
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: work has done, interviews, productivity. So it's this rapid change,
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: and what we know is that change and uncertainty create anxiety.
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: So you've seen the sky rocket in anxiety and fueling that,
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: as well as the digital usage which of course skyrocket
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: with COVID in the isolation, isolation, causing loneliness. There's a
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: lot of feedback loops happening here, Andy, all contributing to
- 1:01:14Speaker 5: one messy tube.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of factors, for sure. I can
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: only imagine as well. The current events, the news and
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: stories of the day doesn't help with that because it's
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: all about hysteria. It's all about fear mongering, right we hear.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: I mean the headline we have today is that we're
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: spending one hundred percent of the GDP and the economy
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: and we're losing value of the dollar, which has been
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: going on for a long time. So welcome to the party,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: cal if you haven't been paying attention to that one.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: But of course they have the picture that Donald Trump's
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: evil and gas prices are going up and inflation's going
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: on the rise, and so on and so forth. So
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: I mean, this has been an ongoing issue and if
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: you're growing up with that type of constant anxiety and
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: fear mongering, that's not going to help the situation, is it?
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: Definitely not? When you look at are you hopeful for
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: the future or are you anxious about the future. I
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: think many of Gen C they would say they're very
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: anxious about the future. And like you said, that is
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: a lot of the news that we're reading, a lot
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: of what's happening. I think there's a shit that can happen,
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: and we'll talk more about that and the role of
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: prayer and religion in that. But right now, if they're
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: focused on the world, they're going to be anxious.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that is very true. So here's the question. And
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: I don't mean this to come off as crass or
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: uncaring or dismissive in any fashion, because mental health is
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: a serious issue. We have to address it. That being said,
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: is there a line or is there a difference between
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: some that truly honestly need it to be based on
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: I don't know, chemical malfunctions in the brain, between malnutrition
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: that does cause a lot of anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. Where there truly are
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: issues or PTSD in traumatic events and those that maybe
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: have been what I like to say, maybe overthorified to
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: where it's difficult to even function with the basics and
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: they have to talk to their therapists for an hour
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: about how difficult it was to tie their shoes in
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: the day, which I know there are some of those
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: out there as well. And again I don't mean to
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: be dismissive for people, because I don't want to dismiss
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: a mental health issue. But are there some that have
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: taken maybe advantage of that situation to be a victim
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: and to feel comfortable in that situation where they're always
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: in that spot.
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: It's certainly a possibility. What I would point back to is, again,
- 1:03:23Speaker 5: you've got these things that are forming and shaping a generation.
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: So if they are that way, if me and my
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: generation can be that way, how did we end up
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: this way? A lot of that's going to end up
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: coming from how we were shaped and how we were
- 1:03:40Speaker 5: raised and what's going on in the world, the world
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: that was created for us to come into. So if
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: we want to be a better world, we've got to
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: create a better world.
- 1:03:50Speaker 10: That's exactly it.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned, because that's that's where I was
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: trying to direct it. Here was the parents and the
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: helicopter parenting, the snowplow parenting, the putting your child in
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: a bubble and never letting them deal with hardship or
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: a heartbreak or anything in life that doesn't set them
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: up for success, because when that does happen in the
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: competitive world, that will eat you out and spit you
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: out alive. Like that's you have to prepare your children
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: for that, and if they're not, you could see them,
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: you know, not be able to handle it.
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: And gen g is responding and they're going, we know
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: our parents had great intent and we love them, and
- 1:04:23Speaker 5: also we're gonna do things different and we're okay with that.
- 1:04:26Speaker 5: And you're seeing that in the way that gen Z's parents,
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: the way that me and my wife end up parenting.
- 1:04:32Speaker 5: So so there are changes that are already happening there
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: good That.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Is really good news. I love that we're talking about
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: Reagan Wilbanks. He's with Prayer at the Heart as you
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: can find their information Prayer at the Heart dot org.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: You hinted at it on some of the solutions on
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: what we can do to fix this issue. It's not
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: only the parenting thing, where you know, we do try
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: to end some of this helicopter parenting or snowplow parenting. Yes,
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: there's a difference. It's a wild conversation that talk about
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: parenting styles. But you mentioned faith and going back. There
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: is a resurgence right now of story after story showing
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: the young generation Generation Z particularly are choosing willingly to
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: go back into the pews. To see a resurgence of
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: young individuals going back to church and finding faith in
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: some fashion. I'm not going to talk about the nomination
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: or type, but anybody that's finding that faith, whatever it
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: may be, and turning away from what we've seen is
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: government solve the issues. We want government bureaucrats to solve
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: our issues for the day to you know what, maybe
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: they don't have all the answers. I don't trust a
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: lot of them. I'm going to turn to a higher
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: power to try and find guidance in my daily life.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: Are you seeing the same thing?
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: Absolutely? And we talked about some of the things that
- 1:05:39Speaker 5: have shaped gen Z, COVID and AI. How are gen
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: Zers responding to that well? With COVID and isolation, what
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: do they turn to? Gen Z is turning to smaller churches.
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: I love that you said we're returning to the cues,
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: because often that is it. They're not going to the big,
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: mega churches that have the rooms and chairs and the
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: auditorium style. They're going to the small churches with local
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: communities and even house churches Andy, interestingly, are on the rise.
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: Where else are they going well? With AI and this
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: rapid change and things that are artificial and quickly generated.
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: They're looking for things that are stable, old and have
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: history and they know aren't going to change. So these
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: liturgical traditions like the Catholic and the Orthodox Church, even
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: the Anglican Church and others, they are experiencing a big
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: boom of gen Zers, especially gen Z men. It's skyrocketing
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: because that's what gen Z's looking for. They're looking for
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: beauty and authenticity in a world that's very unstable, very manufactured,
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: very fake and cheap.
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that is so very true on so many different levels,
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: because I think what people are striving for is something real, right,
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: something real that's tangible that we can actually get back
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: to you, Like you said, the small pews, the small
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: church and the local community. Just going back to that,
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: there was a story a while ago about arizing paganism
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: as well, and people were really confused on why paganism
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: was rising, and I personally, I honestly think that people
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: were just going back into nature and was like wow,
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: this place is alive. There's some really cool stuff out
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: here in nature, and you know because it's real, it's
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: not fake. It's not something that we hear on the
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: news and the fear mongering and the phobia, and we
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: don't know what's truthful what's not truthful. And you know
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: from the media and from social media, and like you said,
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, you don't know what to trust and what
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: not to trust. But you know that when you sit
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: in the pew, that you have that local community connection,
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: when you sit out in nature, that you feel that
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: the trees and the grass and everything in the air
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: is alive around you, and you feel alive in that moment.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: Reconnecting with nature. All of that I think is a
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: very good thing, is it not?
- 1:07:47Speaker 5: Absolutely? And Paul talks about in Romans how we look
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: out in nature, we look at what God's created. That
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: revelation comes from God. We go, oh, there's got to
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: be a creator here, and these things speak to God.
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: So I think even with that turn to nature, I'm
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: hopeful that many of those people they're going to encounter
- 1:08:10Speaker 5: the Holy Spirit there as well. That's where I go
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: when I want to pray, And of course the movement
- 1:08:15Speaker 5: I'm connected to as a movement of prayer. Where did
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: Jesus go right exactly? He didn't go into the synagogue
- 1:08:22Speaker 5: to do his prayer. He went out to a mountain alone,
- 1:08:26Speaker 5: so he got some exercise, he got his body moving,
- 1:08:29Speaker 5: and he got out into the world that his father created.
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: That's how he did his praying. That's how we probably
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: ought to do ours too.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: Oh, I completely agrieve. That's where, honestly for me, same thing.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: You sit out in the nature, you hear the river run,
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: you see the trees move, and you connect with God
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: in such a wild way. It's it's pretty profound and deep,
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: which I like. I mean, that is our church and
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: I really enjoy that. Let's go to you mentioned AI
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: a few times here. What do you think the future
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: of AI looks like? We're hearing stories now that AI
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: is now the therapist for certain young individuals. We hear
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: about romantic relationships, which just kind of really makes it strange.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: I don't even understand how that one kind of works.
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: But what does the future of AI look like? And
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: how do we properly and safely integrate it into society
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: since it's not going anywhere? But how do we integrate
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: it to where it doesn't take over or we become
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: overly dependent on it and actually make it think for
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: us on a regular basis.
- 1:09:23Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:09:24Speaker 5: Yeah, cognitive outsourcing is something we've done for years. So
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: cognitive outsourcing can be anything as simple as having a
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: calendar instead of remembering every day. So that's a simple
- 1:09:34Speaker 5: example of cognitive outsourcing. With AI, we've taken it on
- 1:09:37Speaker 5: a massive scale where all of our thinking, as you said,
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: can be cognitively outsourced to this AI, this artificial intelligence.
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: So what does it look like. It looks like being
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: intentional and making a choice about when do I want
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: to use this and when do I want to struggle
- 1:09:54Speaker 5: with something that struggles not a bad thing. For instance,
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: if you are going to start an organization, even if
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: you could get the words right for a mission statement,
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: it would be better to struggle with it because you
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: get a deep understanding and religion is an important area there.
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: Even if you can get the answers to what the
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: right Bible versus it's better to struggle and prayer with
- 1:10:18Speaker 5: an open Bible in front of you, praying through God's words,
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: saying it back to you, saying God, help me understand this.
- 1:10:25Speaker 5: That's going to be better for us. So integrating AI
- 1:10:28Speaker 5: is about being intentional about it. So, like you said,
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: a tool we're all going to use and continue to use.
- 1:10:35Speaker 5: It's going to be helpful in many ways, but we've
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: got to make real decisions instead of just letting it
- 1:10:42Speaker 5: take over everything for us.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. I love it. We have just
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: about a minute or so left here, but I want
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: to wrap up with one last question. Are we getting
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: better on treating mental health issues in society? But for
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: the longest time, we've relied on big pharma to give
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: us an anti anxiety pill, antidepressant pill. In fact, twenty
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: six to thirty million Americans are on these pills every day,
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: which is absolutely insane to me. We're seeing of a
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: bit of a transition when it comes to federal policy
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: with the Maha movement RFK Junior, with them now looking
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: at iba gain and psilocybin and psychedelics to try and
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: rewire the brain and actually hear a lot of these
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: issues and fight it off by facing your demons and
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: then being able to come out better on the other
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: end of it. From that aspect of it to the
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: faith side of it, are we getting better at addressing
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: mental health issues, and do you think that we're moving
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: in the right direction when it comes to treatments for
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: this stuff.
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: We're moving in the right direction because the right direction
- 1:11:32Speaker 5: is something we've known about for a long time. It's community,
- 1:11:36Speaker 5: it's purpose, it's getting out into nature. It's all these
- 1:11:39Speaker 5: things we've talked about that wind around prayer and purpose.
- 1:11:45Speaker 5: Here's what I would want to say to those struggling
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: with mental health. You can be one in a million. Listen,
- 1:11:51Speaker 5: there's purpose here, so you don't have to live life
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: with this kind of uncertainty or anxiety. You can be
- 1:11:59Speaker 5: one in a million praying for one in a million
- 1:12:02Speaker 5: to be saved. That's what Prayer at the Heart is about.
- 1:12:04Speaker 5: You can get to Prayer at the Heart dot org
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: to sign up to join something, to get a little
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: bit of that purpose, to join in a movement to
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: see the nation change, because it's going to start one
- 1:12:18Speaker 5: on one, you sharing your faith with another, and gradually
- 1:12:23Speaker 5: then you start to see a shift. God's not done
- 1:12:26Speaker 5: with this yet, and Andy, I believe that you listeners
- 1:12:31Speaker 5: have a part to play. Good to Prayer at the
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: Heart dot org. Sign up to be one in a
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: million praying for Yeah, go and.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Check it out. I love it and crazy wild concept
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: about community all getting together and not the individualized isolation
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: that we've seen during COVID and that we've tried to
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: push with social media and chat groups on there instead
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: of actually getting in person and just sitting in your
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: room online talking to people remotely. That is not the
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: way that's going to cure these mental health issues, right,
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: And we appreciate the time very much, my friend, love
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: the conversation with Do it again.
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: Soon, absolutely, Thank you very much.
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: Hady, Hey, you bet appreciate it again. You can find
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: the information at Prayer at the Heart dot org. Go
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: and check those guys out. Reagan Willbanks, we appreciate him
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: very much. Got to take a break. We'll get your
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: thoughts on this and so much more. What's going on
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: today for a Thursday on the Todd Starnes Radio program.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to it, Tom Starns Radio program.
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: We got just a few minutes if we're wrapping things
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: up for this hour of the program. As we saw,
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: thanks to him, by the way, to Reagan Willbanks, the
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Prayer at the Heart organization. Great information about the mental
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: health awareness going on in the nation. We've had some
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: breaking news this hour, according to NBC News, that Congress
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: has officially voted to end the record breaking seventy five
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: day partial government shutdown of sprawling different federal agencies, including
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: the Department of Homeland Security with ICE and FEMA and others.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: That one was done on a voice vote, which I
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: find kind of interesting. They did not do a recorded
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: vote on there, so we cannot see the ya's and nay's,
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: But apparently it was enough for the Chamber to be
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: appeased enough to say that it's good. It was a
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: Senate bill, so they don't have to send it back
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: to the Senate. And now it sounds like it's going
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: to the President where we can sign it and actually
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: end this government shutdown. President Trump and very anxious to
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: make that one happen. You said, Dylan, you have an
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: audio clip speaker Mike Johnson recently just making a statement
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: on this, and this is what he had to say,
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: that they should leave.
- 1:14:28Speaker 12: We do as we must, and we've ultimately delivered. Don't
- 1:14:31Speaker 12: doubt the House or Pumpkin a Jury. We've always delivered
- 1:14:34Speaker 12: for the American people. We did it again in spite
- 1:14:37Speaker 12: of the challenges, and we continue.
- 1:14:38Speaker 6: To do that space.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: All right, there you go, so boom, we got her done. Now.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: It took a long time. The last week, I know,
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: they were working on a House bill and a Senate bill,
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: so they couldn't quite come to terms, and I'm glad
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: that this is finally done. As far as I'm aware,
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: it all includes ice funding, and according to what we're
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: seeing here that it is a full funding of the
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: all of the agencies such as the Emergence See Management Agency,
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration, Secret Service that was included
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: in there as well, relatively handily and helpful for I
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: don't know, incidents like we saw last weekend. All of
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: it being funded through the rest of this fiscal year
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: for the end of September, which means we get to
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: turn around and do it all again in about six
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: months from now and see if Democrats try to shut
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: it down for a political purpose going into elections in November.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: We'll break more of that down later. It is the
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: top Starns radio program Stay here.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable, America's God Starns.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: What is up, America? Welcome into it. It is the
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: Todd Starns Radio Program. Know what is not Todd? He
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: should be back behind the microphone before you know it,
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: faster than you can say, Todd Starns, where are you?
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: He'll be back at it soon until then at yours surely, Andy,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: who's your sitting in studio here? And moving that Liberty
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: University Studios out to Wichita, Kansas, my flagship station KQAM
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: in Wichita away from Memphis, Tennessee, where he's stationed at
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: with my flagship station and great affiliate of the Todd
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: Starns Radio Program. If you want more of Todd, you
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: can always find him on his website Todd Starns dot com,

- 1:16:36Speaker 2: website at Who's your Reason dot com h O O
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: S E R Reason dot com and follow me. Would
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: love to have you follow us there for sure. All right,
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: bottom of the hour, we're gonna have Sal Litvak. He
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: is a Jewish comedian and author. We're gonna talk about
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel and the defense He's gone double down, man,
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: the doubling down of him trying to make jokes that
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: aren't really funny, trying to advocate for the ending of
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: the Trump administration, the Millennia joke that he tried to
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: make just a few days ago prior to the Correspondent's Dinner.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: We'll talk about all that and where we're at with
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: political violence, anti Semitism, and so much more. We've played
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: a few of the clips throughout the show today of
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: Erica Kirk and that battle between Candace Owens and Tucker
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: Carlson and those that, unfortunately, at least in my opinion
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: maybe you disagree, have gone really off the deep end
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: and to the point of even like extreme anti Semitism,
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: which is really unfortunate. So we can get your thoughts
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: on that. I do have an audio clip though, and Dylan,
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: you're going to really enjoy this. One our favorite person,
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: at least one of my favorite people that I like
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: to poke fun at, kind of the low hanging fruit.
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: You're really easy to do so is Alexandria O Kazio. Cortes.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: Does Todd talk about her quite a bit on this program.
- 1:17:45Speaker 7: Not as much as he used to, but he still
- 1:17:47Speaker 7: throws in a couple jabs here and there.
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, you know, she is one of
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: our favorite people. I do play a clip of her
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: on my show.
- 1:17:55Speaker 9: I am told this is a garbage disposal.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that is her. Probably one of her
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: best clips out there, for sure. She was caught on
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: the side of the street outside after one of their
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: congressional sessions or doing whatever she does by TMZ, and
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: she made some interesting claims. Now, I want to preface
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: this by saying, this is still potentially one of the
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: presidential nominees for the Democrat side in twenty twenty eight,
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: or will be challenging Chuck Schumer for the Senate seat
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: in the state of New York here relatively soon as well,
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight. So not sure which direction she's going,
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: but she's kind of one of the poster children of
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: the Democrats right now. TMZ caught her on the side
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: of the road, and Dylan, I gotta get your thoughts
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: on this one, man, What do.
- 1:18:37Speaker 11: You think we're gonna have first? Are we gonna have
- 1:18:39Speaker 11: a female president first? Or a gay president?
- 1:18:42Speaker 9: Oh?
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: Well, we don't know.
- 1:18:44Speaker 9: If we've already had a gay president.
- 1:18:47Speaker 5: That's true.
- 1:18:48Speaker 9: I think there are chances that maybe we have, but.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's she referencing there? I mean, are
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: there rumors of somebody The only room I've kind of
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: sort of heard in the background rumor Mills was like
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: George Washington may have been just because he was I
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: guess it if back in my day, if you remember
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: one of those terms, when I was in high school
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: in the early two thousands, there was they coined the
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: term metro sexual to where you're not gay, but you
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: dressed like a gay person, like is a guy, you
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: took really good care of yourself, maybe had a little
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: bit more of the flamboyant accent, which again I don't
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: care whatever, do your thing. But that's the only reason
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: why some hinted that maybe George Washington was because he
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: was very prim and proper back in the day. I
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: don't know anybody else does there rumors out there of
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: one of the presidents being gay.
- 1:19:35Speaker 7: The only other one that I've heard would be Abraham Lincoln.
- 1:19:39Speaker 7: And they're like, there's like documentaries about this. I don't
- 1:19:42Speaker 7: know if any of it's true, but that's the only
- 1:19:45Speaker 7: other one that I've heard, and it's I don't even
- 1:19:47Speaker 7: remember what they were claiming, but like his guy friends
- 1:19:51Speaker 7: or his guy assistants or well whatever it was, but
- 1:19:54Speaker 7: that was the only other one.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: But yeah, really I had not heard that one, So
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: all right, well apparently there's some rumors out there. But
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: I mean, that's typical TMZ. That's the kind of stuff
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: that you get the National Inquiry kind of conversation. But
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: oh yeah, what a question. Why you'd ask that in
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: the first place. Are we going to have a female
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: or a day? Like we really care about the identity
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: politics because again, we just don't care. It's about your
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: ideas and are you a good human being? Outside of that,
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: I don't really care one way or the other. But
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: she made that claim where now we apparently have the
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: rumor that we have already had one in some aspects.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: She continues on, though, if.
- 1:20:27Speaker 11: You had to guess, what do you think we'll have first,
- 1:20:29Speaker 11: because a lot of people are like, we tried female
- 1:20:32Speaker 11: candidates a couple times in a row. They didn't work out,
- 1:20:35Speaker 11: so like Democrats are now a little bit hesitant about
- 1:20:38Speaker 11: doing it again.
- 1:20:40Speaker 9: I mean, honestly, I think anything can happen. I don't
- 1:20:44Speaker 9: really buy into the skepticism. A man has lost almost
- 1:20:50Speaker 9: every presidential election as well, and so when it comes
- 1:20:54Speaker 9: to women, you know, I think it's more about what
- 1:20:56Speaker 9: we're actually fighting for right as opposed to the body
- 1:20:59Speaker 9: that we're in. And so I think it's about not
- 1:21:02Speaker 9: taking you know, big money, fixing campaign finance reform and
- 1:21:07Speaker 9: trying to fight for people and you know, raise wages
- 1:21:10Speaker 9: and how people make a living. And I think that
- 1:21:14Speaker 9: if we have someone who fights for the right things
- 1:21:17Speaker 9: and speaks to the right people, then you know, maybe
- 1:21:20Speaker 9: we can overcome the gender.
- 1:21:23Speaker 6: Gap in that.
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: And wow, okay, so let me get this straight, Dylan.
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: So we're gonna overcome the gender gap by having a
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: female president relatively soon. But it's not about the fact
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: that it's what body that we're in. It's about who
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: we actually appeal to and what kind of campaign we're running,
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: which I agree with, But that's just really weird coming
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: from her, especially from the face of the Democrat Party
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: that focuses on everything identity politics about are you a
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: person of color in some fashion? Are you a woman?
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: Are you a trans individual? Do you identify as a cat?
- 1:21:54Speaker 13: Like?
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: That's really strange that that's the statement she would make,
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: and in the same sense, be like, oh, by the way,
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: we can close the dender gap once we get a
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: woman president. That's just a weird statement from her.
- 1:22:03Speaker 7: Yeah, like, don't back down now, like this has been
- 1:22:06Speaker 7: your whole stick for like for years.
- 1:22:09Speaker 10: Just own it.
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: Just own it. That's what you want. You want the
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: female president thing. And I think she's trying to play
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: nice because here's my prediction, she's trying to become more mainstream.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: She has gotten such a bad rep of being the
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: radicalized nut that even the Democrats under Nancy Pelosi tossed
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: her off into random committees and subcommittees that mean absolutely nothing.
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: They kept her away from the cameras because she was
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: giving the Democrats a really bad reputation. Now that she
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: is becoming kind of the poster trial of the socialist movement.
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: She was the one that endorsed and put zorn Mom
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: Donnie up there for mayor of New York City and
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: kind of ran with him and be the first first
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: person to really campaign with him. That she's becoming that
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: poster child, and she's trying to become more mainstream. So
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: she's got to play nice, right, gotta play nice of
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: the mainstream media because right now, yes, imagine it, and
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: I cannot wait for this campaign ticket to actually announce
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: Kamala Harris AOC ticket for twenty twenty eight. That's according
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: to the polls, that is the most popular potential ticket
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: right now for the Democrats. Delan, I'm telling you, man,
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: if that's what the Democrats have, bring it on, baby,
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: I can't wait. This is going to be fantastic.
- 1:23:11Speaker 7: I'm right there with you. I love watching the Kamala
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: word salads. Those probably were my favorite parts of the debates,
- 1:23:19Speaker 7: and just generally anytime she was on camera, just anything
- 1:23:22Speaker 7: she says was like, what are you actually trying to say?
- 1:23:25Speaker 7: Because it's a circle right now.
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: Well, not only that, I don't know if you've seen
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: the ones recently in the past couple days of the
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: past week, she was trying to knock the high gas prices,
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: which is funny because gas prices are still, even with
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: the height that they're at right now, still lower than
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: what they were under her and the Biden administration for
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: the past four years. We finally just matched their level
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: of gas prices in twenty twenty two right now, which
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: was a year into the Biden administration, not at the
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: peak of their prices, So we still have a ways
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: to go to there, But she was out there and
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: she was in I don't know North or South Carolina,
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: and she, honestly, she sounded like she was drunk and
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: was no enthusiasm, like she did not care whatsoever. She
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: they posed her in front of the prices of the
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: gas station and she was like, hey, I'm out here
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: and the gas prices are really high, and it it
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: was the most absurd video I have ever seen in
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: my life. So she hasn't gotten rid of that. I please, please,
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: dear God, we know you're up there. Let us see
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: the Kamala Harris AOC ticket for twenty twenty eight. It
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: will be so much fun to beat them down again
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: election wise and to see that just completely flop. If
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: that's the state of the Democrat Party, bring it baby,
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: all right, your thoughts on that now. I'm sorry, Low
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: Hanging Fruit had to make fun of it for a bit.
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five to nine two
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: six nine zero one two six zero five to nine
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: two six. We're following some of the news right now.
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Department of Homely in Security is now going to be
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: opened up. The record seventy five day partial government shutdown
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: that included FEMA, which we needed by the way FEMA
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: has been trying to deal with some of the natural disasters.
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: I live in Kansas. We've had fires in Nebraska. We've
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: had torn tornados and Kansas. We've had tornadoes in Oklahoma,
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: tornadoes in northern Texas, tornadoes and Missouri and Iowa, all
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: over the place. The emergency response that we need from
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: the federal government not able to happen because the funding
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: has been depleted for FEMA. They did not have the
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: funds for it. Along with the assassination attempt against President
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: Donald Trump, we needed a fund Secret Service. So all
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: of it now being funded after a verbal vote just
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: a couple hours ago in the House of Representatives on
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: the Senate bill that now goes to the president to
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: refund it. Here's the thing, that funding goes through the
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: fiscal year that ends September thirtieth. My prediction again, Dylan,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: We're going to see this argument all over again at
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: the end of September, because when was the last time
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: that we actually passed a federal budget By the time
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: the federal budget was due with the fiscal year starting
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: October one, that hasn't happened since I don't know, beginning
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: of Obama's administration. We always pass some type of continuing resolution,
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: we passed some type of omnibus bill. We pass always
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: something that's an extension of what we're doing with additional funding,
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: so where, and we never actually address the real issue
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: that comes at a time when the headlines today show
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: that debt has now surpassed one hundred percent of the GDP.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: Now they're blaming the Trump administration for that. But this
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: has been a trajectory for a while. Right it really started,
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: we had somewhat of a kind of sort of lucy
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: goosey balance budget under the I mean the Reagan administration,
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: the Bush administration, one, the Clinton administration by George Bush,
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: two by George W who, by the way, just did
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: an interview recently. I thought that was kind of interesting.
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: He still has like that happy babyface. He's an old
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: guy now, but he has like that happy babyface that
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: just makes you smile. Whether you like the guy or not,
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: it just kind of makes you smile. But under him,
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: that's when we really saw the beginning of a lot
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: of bailouts, and the auto industry bailouts and the bank bailouts,
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: and we saw the printing of the money, and then
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: we saw Obama take that style and then take it
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: to a whole new level. And we started seeing the
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: increase of the federal debt from ten trillion to fifteen
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: trillion to twenty trillion. It was big news back then
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: to then it started doubling at a time, and now
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: we're at thirty six thirty seven trillion dollars. We're on
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: the road by the end of this year, expected to
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: be at forty trillion dollars of a national debt and
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the GDP meeting. What does that mean.
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: That means if you take every dollar and every single
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: penny from every man, woman, child, in private business in
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: this nation, the entire worth of the whole country, that
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: would not be able to pay for the entire federal debt.
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: That's kind of insane. At the same time, the inflation
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: for the first quarter wrapping up, we just saw from
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: the government coming in at three and a half percent,
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: slightly higher than what we had anticipated. In economic growth,
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: GDP growth coming in at two percent for the first
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: quarter of this year, slightly lower than what was anticipated.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: Mostly my guess would be probably because of the conflict
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: and I ran the driving up of energy and oil
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: prices and that threw off the economy, not because of
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: the tariffs, although maybe it's because of the Supreme Court
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: telling them that we have to reach and refund a
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: lot of those tariff revenues that we had seen. So
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: economic uncertainty right now, which is maybe planned, maybe orchestrated
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: by those looking at Donald Trump who said he was
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: going to bring in the Golden age of America and
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: now we see debt topping that one percent of the
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: GDP almost hitting forty trillion dollars, blaming the Trump administration
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: when this has been a decades upon decades long problem
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: and Congress hasn't solved the issue. We need to reform
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: our spending and honestly, we have to cut probably fifty
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: to sixty percent of our entire federal budget, which no
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: one has an appetite to do. So. I don't see
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: the problem getting better anytime soon. Nine oh one two

- 1:30:11Speaker 2: note here, put it in the history books, and Todd
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: can respond back later on. This is twice now to
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: where Donald Trump has tweeted something out at the time
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: that we're talking about a particular issue. I think we're
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: on the safe of wavelength, is Donald Trump today? That's
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: kind of awesome, right.
- 1:30:25Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we are. I will definitely make a
- 1:30:27Speaker 7: note of that though.
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: Okay, make a note of it, put it in the
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: history books here on the Todd Starnes Radio Show today
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: that we are on the wavelength of Donald Trump. The
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: same topics we cover are what he's tweeting about at
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: that moment. We were talking about Kamala Harrison AOC in
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: the last segment in the Future Democrat Leadership and what
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: they may throw in as a ticket for their presidential run.
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: Donald Trump not twenty minutes ago, sending out a tweet
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: anybody running for president or vice president should be forced
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: to take a cognitive examination prior to entering the race.
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: By doing so, we wouldn't be surprised that people like
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: Barack Hussein Obama or sleepy Joe Biden getting elected. All
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: in air quotes there, our country would be in much
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: better place. I took the exam three times during my
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: three He says that in parentheses three terms as president,
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: and asted all three times as an achievement. That even
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: not a single exam, according to the doctors, has rarely
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: been done before President Donald J. Trump. So there you
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: have it, the cognitive exam that should be done for
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: anybody running for a president of the United States. Now,
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: it's just it's funny because Hkeem jeffrieson it's on the fly.
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: I don't know if you can find it down that
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: clip in the last week of Hikeem Jefferies that said
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: that Donald Trump was the dumbest person to ever be
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: in the White House, which obviously is not true because
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: anybody that has taken an IQ test, Donald Trump has
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: actually been the highest IQ to ever sit in the
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: White House, at least for those that have taken that
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: IQ test in general. So it's funny. And at the
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: same time, when you have AOC and Kamala Harris are
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: the ones that are potentially the ones that could be
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: the face of the Democrat Party running for president again. Yeah,
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: come on, that's gonna be entertaining for sure. I tell
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: you Donald Trump always keeping it somewhat entertaining. Speaking of elections.
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: By the way, there is I want to go to
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: Texas for just a moment, James tell Rico, the Democrat
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: out of Austin, Texas that is running for the US
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: Senates against whoever the it's a primary may be with
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: the Cornin and Paxton primary on the Republican side of
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: the aisle. There's a new story that came out from
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: the Texas Tribune dot org that shows that Tall Rico
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: right now is ahead in the ball in the polls
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: from either of those Republican candidates. And I gotta be honest,
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing that this is the
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: guy that thinks he's like ultra super religious, but like
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: misquotes all of the religious texts that he tries to say,
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: and is he's pretty much Beto O'Rourke, but maybe a
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: little bit better spoken. That's about the level of Tall Rico.
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: According to the poll that was done by the Texas
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: Public Opinion Research between a seventeenth and twentieth he leads
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: Senator John Cornyan by three percentage points and a forty
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: four to forty one race, and the Austin Democrat leads
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: Attorney General Ken Paxton by a margin of five points
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: forty six to forty one. They say the survey concluded
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: with eighteen hundred likely general election voters with a margin
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: ERA of two and a half percent, So it's not
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: a wide margin, but it's a margin nonetheless. And even
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: having any type of support for this guy like Talla Rico,
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: that has been some of the one of the most
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: anti Christian individuals out there in the state of Texas.
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: What's going on down there? Man, have a hard time
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: believing it. I know Todd has a lot of listeners
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: great stations down in Texas. I want to hear from you.
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: Is that really true? Are you really concerned about this
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: guy toppling Ken Paxson or John Cornyn? I know that's
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: a brutal primary. But Republicans, can we at least get
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: long enough to not have this guy in office? That
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: would be really great. If you could just get along

- 1:34:37Speaker 2: sit in for Todd love getting behind the microphone here
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: in the Liberty University studios. There's a lot going on
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: in Congress today. Outside of the verbal vote that we've
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: seen from the House of Representatives now ending the seventy
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: five day government shutdown partial government shutdown for the Department
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: of Homeland Security, there's also other bills. They had a
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: really late night last night. I was watching some of
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: the video. There was votes on the farm bill that
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: they're working through. There is votes on the FAISA Reauthorization Act,
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: there is votes on the reconciliation bills that they're working
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: on now, as they are now looking at another reconciliation
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: bill to try and cram a whole bunch of the
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: Republican agenda into one big bill and pass it so
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: that way they don't have to worry about the filibuster
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: issues in the Senate. At the same time. By the way,
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: apparently the Senate is going to be doing a kind
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: of sort of vote on the same act. To John
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: Thune has not been the best on this issue, and
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: he's really just like, all right, fine, go ahead and
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: vote on it. But he's not doing a sitting filibuster vote.
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: He's doing an actual floor vote to where all the
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: Democrats don't have to be there, to where they can
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: shut it down and then him be like.
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: Look, I told you we didn't have the vote for it.
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: So not really the best way to approach this issue,
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: and it needs to be done. Can it be thrown
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: into the reconciliation bill that will be a cause of
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: conversation for another time. We'll get to that in just
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: a little bit, but I want to shift gears on
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: the more drama east side. I don't know if you've seen,
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: I'm sure you've been paying attention the doubling down of
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel on the statements that he made about Milania
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: Trump about how you're glowing like someone who's a you know,
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: your your husband just passed, or whatever the heck he said,
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: and after the Correspondence Center from last weekend, they were criticism.
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: In fact, Milania had advocated for him to be fired
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: because he's made so many derogatory remarks for so long
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: that it's getting a little old. And Dylan, I don't
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: know about you, but it's not even funny to just
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: be like you're glowing like a widow and like that's
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: just kind of weird. And I don't even understand how
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: you could put that into a context of a joke
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: for Late Night, for the clapping seals in the stands
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: and be like that's a fantastic one. Yeah, I don't
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: get It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: But with that type of statement, with the political violence,
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: the division, the lack of caring about humanity in some fashion,
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: and even the radical anti semitism we're seeing in society today.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: Where are we at in culture? That's where we go
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotline. Really happen to have
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: on the show as he is a comedian and author
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: of the book let My People Laugh, Greatest Jewish Jokes
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: of All Time. He's also director of the action film
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: Guns and Moses. Love having on the program here, mister
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: lipbag sal how are you, my friend?
- 1:37:03Speaker 14: Great to be with you, Andy. Can you believe the
- 1:37:05Speaker 14: times we're living in? Like ever since COVID, everything that's
- 1:37:10Speaker 14: happened was unimaginable before that, and every day something new
- 1:37:14Speaker 14: and unimaginable comes.
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Crazy, it really is crazy. I remember, and I
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: mean being thirty seven, being a millennial. I remember the
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: early two thousands. It was scandalous when we heard Ward Churchill,
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: that professor from the University of Boulder come out and
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: called George Bush hitler at that time, and he was
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: actually fired from his position. It made national news. He
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: had the Dixie Chicks at that time that were saying
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: that George Bush again was a Nazi, was a hitler.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: People started burning their records. Then it progressed, like you
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: said up to COVID, to where if you didn't take
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: the shot, if you didn't go along with whatever they
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: told you, you were the worst person on the face
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: of the earth. And now that's just normal conversation. If
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: you're a Republican, if you're a MAGA supporter, or if
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: you're a Jew, apparently you're just you're the worst person
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: on the face of the earth. I don't know how
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: we got here.
- 1:37:59Speaker 14: The worst person the face of the earth, and violence
- 1:38:02Speaker 14: is okay, formissible, even something they'll advocate for. I saw
- 1:38:06Speaker 14: a video on social media today this influencer Deborah Lee
- 1:38:09Speaker 14: was in Washington Square Park to assume these were NYU
- 1:38:12Speaker 14: students and just asking one after another after another, what
- 1:38:16Speaker 14: do you think about this assassination attempt on the president?
- 1:38:19Speaker 5: Oh? Sorry, he missed.
- 1:38:21Speaker 14: Absolutely justified makes sense. I mean, this is tomorrow's leaders,
- 1:38:26Speaker 14: this is the next generation. It really is shocking how
- 1:38:30Speaker 14: easy it is to find students whill agree with this
- 1:38:33Speaker 14: stuff and where they're getting these attitudes. The American educational
- 1:38:37Speaker 14: system has been captured by absolute radical progressives.
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: It's really wild because now, and this goes into this dehumanization.
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: We don't see people as a human being any longer.
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: The response from the Democrats after this issue has been
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: two ways. Either, like you said, it didn't go far enough.
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: Gosh darn it, we missed again. We'll have to get
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: someone with better shot or runs faster or something, or
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: it just didn't happen. It was all staged, It was
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: all fake, and these aren't the drove Joe looking for
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: like it's not real at all because Donald Trump's boosting
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: his ratings. Those are the two solutions they're coming up with. Now,
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: maybe we should change the tone a little bit here.
- 1:39:10Speaker 14: Never never, there's no pause for self examination. Not thinkable
- 1:39:14Speaker 14: that you know that there's something wrong on their side,
- 1:39:17Speaker 14: because Orange Man bad explains everything. I mean, in all honesty,
- 1:39:22Speaker 14: the only bright side of all of this is that
- 1:39:25Speaker 14: these idiots are not having children, right. I mean, the
- 1:39:28Speaker 14: radical progressives who are educating these kids and trying to
- 1:39:31Speaker 14: capture them are doing it at a frantic paste because
- 1:39:35Speaker 14: they're not reproducing. You know, the traditional decent people of
- 1:39:38Speaker 14: America are having kids. So I would say that the
- 1:39:41Speaker 14: long term future not bad, not bad. But short term, man,
- 1:39:46Speaker 14: are we looking at some bad stuff?
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Jimmy Kimmel for just a moment.
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: This has not been the first time he's made a
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: comment I don't know how a joke about you glowing
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: like a widow kind of thing, and he now tries
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: to defend it, saying that it was an age issue,
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: not advocating for an assassination. But he has made absurd
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: comments before, and every time he gets attacked, then he
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: goes on TV and just starts crying because he's so
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: emotional and cares about people and how Donald Trump's just
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: the most evil, horrible human being Again on the face
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: of the earth. Are there going to be any repercussions
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: from Jimmy Kimmel at all because he's still on the
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: air after all these comments he's made throughout the years,
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: And I just don't know why.
- 1:40:23Speaker 14: I mean, I love what you said before that he's
- 1:40:25Speaker 14: performing for the clapping fields in his audience.
- 1:40:28Speaker 11: Right.
- 1:40:29Speaker 14: It used to be that late night host were comedians
- 1:40:32Speaker 14: who were genuinely funny, had good material that elicited real laughter.
- 1:40:37Speaker 5: Now it's all.
- 1:40:38Speaker 14: About the clapter and they're just advocating for the stuff
- 1:40:42Speaker 14: that they hear at the cocktail party. And so you ask,
- 1:40:45Speaker 14: is this guy's going to lose his job. I mean,
- 1:40:47Speaker 14: he's not making money for the network right that the
- 1:40:49Speaker 14: ratings are low, they're lower than they ever have been.
- 1:40:52Speaker 14: He should have been fired long ago. And it seems
- 1:40:55Speaker 14: like the master they're serving in Hollywood is it money,
- 1:40:59Speaker 14: which it's funny, like you used to say, well, that's
- 1:41:00Speaker 14: not a good master to serve, but at least it
- 1:41:03Speaker 14: meant that you were entertaining the people. You're not going
- 1:41:05Speaker 14: to make money unless you're genuinely entertaining the people. Now
- 1:41:09Speaker 14: it seems like they care more about which cocktail party
- 1:41:12Speaker 14: are they going to be invited to? And that's a
- 1:41:15Speaker 14: higher priority than just saying, Okay, who is America? What
- 1:41:20Speaker 14: is America interested in? That is the people that I
- 1:41:23Speaker 14: am serving? And that seems to be a memory.
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: So do you think this is the end of late
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: night TV? We have the longated, very drawn out farewell
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: and goodbye of Stephen Colbert with the Late Show that
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: was formerly held by David Letterman. On that front, we
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: have Jimmy Kimmel that's been so radicalized that a lot
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: of people don't watch him because, like you said, I mean,
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: he's just not funny. It's not popular at all. In fact,
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: the last late night talk show that I actually enjoyed
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: was Craig Ferguson. The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: was by far the best one that I've seen since
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: back in the day with the original talk shows. But
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: the way this is going and the way the networks
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: are changing, and being a comedian, I mean, the standard
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: by comedians right was to go on late night talk shows,
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: say a few jokes like that, get in front of
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: the crowds, and that really was a big boost for
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: people's careers. That's a completely different industry nowadays now, isn't it.
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: I mean this late shows dead.
- 1:42:15Speaker 14: I'm an optimist, I always have been. I would like
- 1:42:17Speaker 14: to think, especially with paramount getting Warner Brothers BBS, you
- 1:42:21Speaker 14: know they're they're they're leaving the House of Woe, and
- 1:42:26Speaker 14: so at the end of the day, you remember, Jack
- 1:42:29Speaker 14: Warner is the original Hollywood. People were saying, you want
- 1:42:32Speaker 14: to send the message, Paul western Union. I just feel that,
- 1:42:37Speaker 14: you know, the dependulum's gotta shift. It can't keep going
- 1:42:41Speaker 14: in this direction because then, as you say, it is
- 1:42:44Speaker 14: the death of late night television. And why would they
- 1:42:47Speaker 14: give up an industry that actually makes money, or at
- 1:42:49Speaker 14: least they once made money. So I know, i'd like
- 1:42:52Speaker 14: to believe that the pendulum will sing back, but maybe
- 1:42:56Speaker 14: I'm a crazy optimist in that well.
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: Or it's just going to be a different face. Yeah,
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: it's going to be a different face of it. I mean,
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: to be honest, Stephen Colbert was kind of sort of
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: funny on The Colbert Rapport when he focused specifically on politics,
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: and we knew he had left leaning policies, but he
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: was really took jabs at both sides of the aisle.
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: He knew his lane, that's what he stuck to. And
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: now the most popular, honestly, the comedy show on TV
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: now is The Great Gutfeld Show on Fox News. So
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: I mean it's not even a late night TV show
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: where they try to do the Hollywood thing. It's more of,
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: if we're going to lean into this, let's embrace it,
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: and it's going to be something like on Fox. That's
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: just like a whole different dynamic here, isn't it.
- 1:43:31Speaker 14: Yes, yes, Tyrus is funny as hell, but uh, I
- 1:43:37Speaker 14: don't know. I mean, I don't know. I would like
- 1:43:39Speaker 14: to think so I'm not a comedian. I just tell
- 1:43:41Speaker 14: jokes different. I collect the classic jokes and I'll play
- 1:43:47Speaker 14: for it. And the reason I say that is because
- 1:43:49Speaker 14: I make movies and I have always been an outsider
- 1:43:53Speaker 14: in Hollywood the people here and now I'm talking to
- 1:43:56Speaker 14: you as a Jew watching situation unfold in the Middle East, right,
- 1:44:01Speaker 14: I mean, Israel was attacked in a way that has
- 1:44:03Speaker 14: just been unprecedented, and the response has been unprecedented. Yet
- 1:44:08Speaker 14: all these presidents, yeah, if Iran does this, if Iran
- 1:44:10Speaker 14: does that, We're going to bomb them. They did nothing,
- 1:44:12Speaker 14: They meant nothing, they did nothing. President Trump took action.
- 1:44:17Speaker 14: The Middle East is being realigned right now, and I
- 1:44:22Speaker 14: think that the country is going to move forward. But
- 1:44:25Speaker 14: these Hollywood people, and there's so many prominent Jews in
- 1:44:28Speaker 14: Hollywood who have said zero nothing. They're cowards, their absolute
- 1:44:33Speaker 14: cowards in this town. It's obviously not just the Jews.
- 1:44:38Speaker 14: And so you know, you look at that Oscar ceremony
- 1:44:41Speaker 14: and they're all trying to express themselves in their politics.
- 1:44:44Speaker 14: Was that not a big yawn, not just from America
- 1:44:47Speaker 14: but from the whole world? I mean, who cares what
- 1:44:49Speaker 14: these people think if they're not going to speak out
- 1:44:54Speaker 14: in a way that reflects what's really happening in the
- 1:44:56Speaker 14: world instead of what's happening at their cocktail parties. They're
- 1:44:59Speaker 14: just making themselves more and more irrelevant.
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really unfortunate. We're talk about. Salvador Litvaki is
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: a comedian, author of the book let My People Laugh,
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: Greatest Jewish Jokes of All Time, also director of the
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: film Guns and Moses was by the way, I love
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: that title. That's fantastic. Let's talk about the anti Semitism
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: right now in society. Are you concerned about it? We
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: saw this wild turn from the progressive Democrats pretty much
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: out there saying free Palestine and going after saying that
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: if you were part Jewish, then apparently you're now a
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: Nazi and fascist, which was really hilarious during that whole
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: issue with the Gods of strip But then it morphs
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: into the candae OANs, the Tucker Carlson's from the conservative
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: side that really said that Israel is like the most
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: evil place again on the face of the earth, and
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: Jews are all bad. Are you concerned about this rise
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: and why it's becoming so normalized.
- 1:45:48Speaker 14: Of course, I'm concern We've had an eighty year respit
- 1:45:52Speaker 14: from this kind of hatred and anti Semitism being publicly permissible,
- 1:45:58Speaker 14: right for eighty years after the Holocaust. Okay, you know
- 1:46:01Speaker 14: at least you can you're gonna hate the Jews, but
- 1:46:03Speaker 14: you're gonna be quiet about it. Now these people are
- 1:46:06Speaker 14: loud and proud. Uh. And it's a kind of return
- 1:46:09Speaker 14: to to this kind of historical hatred that that we've
- 1:46:12Speaker 14: seen first century for millennium. I mean, you know, when
- 1:46:15Speaker 14: you when, when you when you're due, you can see
- 1:46:17Speaker 14: history from a higher vantage point, so to speak.
- 1:46:21Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:46:21Speaker 14: So, yes, it's concerning. Uh, but we are also an
- 1:46:25Speaker 14: eternal people. And you know it's funny because what these
- 1:46:29Speaker 14: people do is they accuse us of playing the victim card,
- 1:46:33Speaker 14: which is nonsense. You know, my mother and my grandmother
- 1:46:36Speaker 14: were survivors of the Holocaust. They weren't a concentration camp.
- 1:46:39Speaker 14: They never call themselves victims. They call themselves survivors. The
- 1:46:42Speaker 14: anti Semites use Jews as their victim cards. They're looking
- 1:46:48Speaker 14: for someone to blame for their problem, their inability to
- 1:46:51Speaker 14: get ahead, you know. And now you've got to tucker
- 1:46:54Speaker 14: the Candace. I mean, doyn't just say anything for money.
- 1:46:57Speaker 14: Clearly they're getting paid off, Candice, like you actually track
- 1:47:01Speaker 14: the thing that she said. It's one hysterical lunacy after another,
- 1:47:05Speaker 14: always back free, evidence free, just what she thinks will
- 1:47:09Speaker 14: get her numbers. And in the end she's imploding. I mean,
- 1:47:13Speaker 14: no one's taking her seriously anymore except a rapidly diminishing audience.
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, she is losing faith a left and right,
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: which it was kind of funny. Erica Kirk had made
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: a statement I don't know a day or two ago
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: on her Turning Point USA on the radio program and
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: had called out Candace for accusing her of killing her husband,
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: and the response from Candace was, well, you're a sociopath.
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: And there are some that unfortunately follow that mindset, which
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: is wild to me. But like you said, most of it,
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: I think now it's for entertainment purposes. Salaga just got
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: to call a couple of minutes up as we wrap
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: things up. But I have to ask you the most
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: important question of the day today, because this is the
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: claim is Israel and Benjamin Ettanya who running and pulling
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: Donald Trump's strings from behind the scenes to make him
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: get involved in these conflicts.
- 1:47:55Speaker 14: Do you think anybody can run Donald Trump and tell
- 1:47:59Speaker 14: him what to do? That is the most Maverick, iconic
- 1:48:03Speaker 14: class individual person that's ever run America, that's ever run
- 1:48:07Speaker 14: a business. That guy is two week generous. He is
- 1:48:10Speaker 14: one of a kind. Somebody has ever told him what
- 1:48:14Speaker 14: to do. And every time you think that Donald Trump
- 1:48:17Speaker 14: has been counted out.
- 1:48:18Speaker 5: He's alive.
- 1:48:18Speaker 14: He's kicking, he's still standing, and he's throwing punches.
- 1:48:22Speaker 2: That's no.
- 1:48:23Speaker 14: Certainly, BB can't tell Trump what to do. But what
- 1:48:27Speaker 14: an amazing thing, what a unique leader in our history.
- 1:48:31Speaker 14: And I just hope that when his term ends, you know,
- 1:48:34Speaker 14: we have worthy successors who can keep the economic policies
- 1:48:38Speaker 14: moving forward.
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: That is the goal, that is the hope, and the
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: golden age of America is upon us. Donald Trump has
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: promised it, and so far promises made, promises kept on
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: so many different issues. I can't wait to see it
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: all play out over the next few years, if we're
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: able to for dance keep him safe from all the
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: crazies on the other side, Sal, we are out of time,
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: my friend. We appreciate it very much. Love the conversation.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: Got to do it again soon.
- 1:48:59Speaker 12: Very good.
- 1:49:00Speaker 14: Pleasure to take care Andy.
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: You bet appreciate it very much. That sell Litvack, comedian
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: and author of the book let my people left. Go
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: check it out on Amazon other places as well. All right,
- 1:49:07Speaker 2: we got one segment left open line. See you at
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: It is the Todd Starnes Radio program. All right, welcome
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: back into it. It is the Todd Starns Radio Show.
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: We got just a few minutes left as we wrap
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: things up. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: two six. Congressman Andy Ogles ogles is how do you
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: pronounce his name? I believe it's Ogles calls on President Trump,
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: you using Article two section three of the Constitution to
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: force the Senate in the House to stay in session
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: until they passed the Save America Act and fully fund
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: DHS to stop the invasion of migrants. That's a hat
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: tip to Benny Johnson on social media. While we've passed
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: DHS funding now, so now can we impose that Article
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: two section three to keep them in session to pass
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: the Save America Act that apparently the Senate is going
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: to attempt to vote on, according to Senator John Thune,
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: But it's not going to be a filibuster vote on,
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: like a standing filibuster that you have to actually be
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: there present in order to vote or else your vote
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: doesn't count and we don't count you as part of
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: the majority or what it takes to get a majority
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: in fact, so we're not doing that. They just want
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: a simple vote, just for John Thune to be like, well,
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: we tried, but we didn't get it, which is really unfortunate. Dylan,
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: I can't wrap up on the Todd Sterns Radio Show
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: without talking about this issue because the last time I
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: was on the show, actually I was on with Todd
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: when the news broke about the story from Matt Gets
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: about the breeding program with extraterrestrials in humans. So being
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: apparently I guess one of the UFO commentators on the
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: Todd Sterns Radio Show, we got to talk about the issue,
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: don't we.
- 1:50:45Speaker 7: Yeah, we do. Yeah, it's unavoidable at this point.
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: It's unavoidable at this point. And I have to say,
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: first off, thank you for that, because now apparently Todd
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: knows of my in depth supposed understanding of ufozts and aliens.
- 1:50:59Speaker 7: Yeah, you were they I thought of when that story broke,
- 1:51:02Speaker 7: So I just had to bring you up into it.
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: That is hilarious. Well, I don't know if you've seen,
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: but was it yesterday? I believe it was yesterday. He
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: was in the Oval office. They asked him about the
- 1:51:11Speaker 2: disclosure because we have registered the domains from Government of
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: Alien dot gov and Aliens dot gov. As the Department
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: of War is still working on disclosure of certain videos.
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: And in fact that Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who has
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: been an absolute rock star on so many different issues,
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: is calling for the release of fourteen different videos from
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: government and through the Department of War right now to
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: be released to the public high definition, not like the
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: grainy stuff that we always see, high definition video. Fourteen
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: of them that she says some FCC non approved words
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: that I can't say here that will mess you up
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: when you see them. That is what she's advocating for it.
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: They have not been approved through the Department of War
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: to be released as of yet, but there is the
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: teasing of this disclosure and Donald Trump mentioned that yesterday.
- 1:51:56Speaker 13: When we're going to be seeing well, I think we're
- 1:51:58Speaker 13: going to be releasing as much much as we can
- 1:52:01Speaker 13: in the near future for some reason, and I guess
- 1:52:05Speaker 13: it's just a reason. It's been in the minds of
- 1:52:07Speaker 13: people for a long time, and that is such. They
- 1:52:10Speaker 13: want to find out about the UFOs and anything having
- 1:52:14Speaker 13: to do with UFO or related material. And we're going
- 1:52:17Speaker 13: to be releasing a lot of things from.
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: Do It, Baby, get or Done. We want to see it,
- 1:52:22Speaker 2: don't hold back Trumpet. If anybody's gonna do it, it's
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: gonna be him.
- 1:52:25Speaker 13: Todd.
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: It's always honored to fill in for you, my friend Andy,
- 1:52:27Speaker 2: who's you're sitting in for tot Sterns. He'll be back
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: at it before you know it. Until then, it is
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: the tot Sterns Radio Program. We will see you back
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: on the radio soon. Bye.
