Police: Nashville shooter bought 7 guns before school attack
"President Biden says he's done what he can. Now it's up to Congress to help curb the gun violence. The president says he's exhausted his executive authority. I can't do anything except leave with the Congress to act reasonably. That was here at The White House before leaving fort North Carolina, where the president renewed a call for lawmakers to ban assault style weapons. Why in God's name do we allow these weapons of war on our streets? And at our schools. The president says he knows people wonder why he keeps unsuccessfully calling for a ban. Because I want you to know who isn't doing it. Who isn't helping? Not long before that, number two Senate Republican John thune was asked if Congress will take up gun legislation. This is premature to talk about it. And I think there are a lot of grieving hurting families in Nashville. Sagar Meghani at The White House.

Debt ceiling impasse: McCarthy presses Biden to negotiate
"The house's top Republican is pressing President Biden to negotiate on lifting the nation's borrowing authority with the potential debt default to blooming. In a letter, speaker Kevin McCarthy says the president is now on the clock. It's time to set a meeting to avoid a crisis, so far number two Senate Republican John thune says the president's been unwilling. Frankly, I think it's ridiculous. The White House responds to McCarthy. We've seen the letter, but where's the budget? Spokeswoman Olivia Dalton repeating what the president's long said. McCarthy and the GOP should publicly present their own budget ideas. Here at The White House, officials insist the president will not entertain proposed program cuts simply in exchange for lifting the debt limit. McCarthy and Republicans say he must for a debt ceiling legislation to move ahead, Sagar Meghani at The White House.

Did the American Founders Warn Us About Dr. Fauci?
"Here is a question somebody has emailed us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Charlie, have you caught any part of the Fauci documentary? What are your thoughts? All right, I have not watched the Fauci documentary. I've watched little bits and pieces that I've seen out there. This guy is everything the founding fathers tried to warn us about. The framers the founders, the promise of the American founding, by the way, I think needs to be a constant rallying cry for the conservative movement. The framers got it right. It is a unifying principle that unites people of all different backgrounds and races and creeds and religions. The American founding is so beautiful. When it's properly understood, not understood through a liberal lens that can the American founding was illiberal in some ways. That's a separate topic if we want to cover that later. But the founders and the framers warned us about people like Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci is an evil person. I don't have delight in saying that. I don't say that lightly. And Anthony Fauci has done significant damp, not just significant damage. Generational damage. No one voted for Anthony Fauci? He is a violation of the consent to the governed Anthony Fauci is against every one of the core promises of the structure of the U.S. Constitution, consent to the governed, separation of power, checks and balances, he's against all of it. He stands against it. So Anthony Fauci has a new documentary out, let's first go to cut 25, a D.C. resident confronts Anthony Fauci and the vaccine play cut 25. People in America are not settled with the information that's been given to us right now. So I'm not going to be lining up taking a shot on a vaccination for something that wasn't clear in the first place. And then you all create a shot and miraculous time. If it allows thousands of people like you, don't get vaccinated, you're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world. Something like the common flu then, right? You gonna pass. Yeah, definitely. Because when you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, it's something else going on with that. That's okay, because y'all campaign is about fear. It's about inciting fear in people you all attack people with fear. That's what this pandemic is. He's confronting Anthony Fauci straight to his face. Why don't more Senate Republicans have as much courage as him?

Tucker Carlson Responds to Accusations of Cherry Picking J6 Tapes
"Tucker put it better than I could. Oh, we cherry picks, really. What they're saying, ironically, what they're describing ironically is exactly what the January 6th committee, and the prosecutors in these cases did for two years. They selectively picked small segments of tape to convince Americans that January 6th was something that it wasn't. It was awful. We would not defend that we hate vandalism. We hate assault. Was it a violent instruction it was not? Was it a killing of 5 officers in the capital? It was not. Those are lies. And they buried tape the contradicted and revealed those lies. So all we did was play the tape that they had been hiding for 26 months and show that there were American citizens Jacob chansley specifically and others whose civil liberties were annihilated and you can make your own rational judgments about what that means. Do you want to live in a country where that's possible? They don't care. Neither party in Washington cares. In fact, the leader of the Senate. Democrats Chuck Schumer just joined the leader of the Senate Republicans Mitch McConnell in calling for this show to be pulled off the air. Now that's not an argument based on logic. It's based on hysteria and the shame you feel is a weak and terrified person when your lies are exposed. He show right and it is a hysteria and what's the hysteria steeped in? It's steeped in fear. They are afraid. They're afraid of truth.

Arizona Bill Banning Critical Race Theory in Schools Goes to Hobbs
"Arizona Bill has passed to ban not passed. It is past Senate and now has gone up to Katie Hobbs that you know what going up to her desk for her to pass. Now, since the Arizona Bill ban critical race theory in schools narrowly passing in the Senate, now it goes on to Katie Hobbs, this Katie Hobbs is the governor of the state of Arizona, the state that I live in and I'm very disappointed that she's an absolute nut. And she's not even qualified. She's like an immature woman baby. That's walking and woke. And we're going to see what she did with this bill. She considered the bill that it would be as sponsored, say, preventing schools from teaching critical race theory, Senate Republicans voted 16 to 14 to pass SB 1305 to prevent critical racial bias education plans. They sent it to Katie Hobbs desk. We'll see if Katie Hobbs actually do her job like she's supposed to because the people elected the Senate, the Senate came up with the bill so the government should pass the bill. If she got any sense whatsoever, and in my personal opinion, I think it's invaluable for us to consider never teaching critical race theory. You can teach history. You can teach black history. You can teach American history which black history is American history. But to teach kids, this theory that no matter what you do in life, no matter where you come from, no matter how many aspirations you have, you will never be able to maximize because the white man would never let the black man get a hand up.

Latest downed objects could well be 'benign,' US says
"The Biden administration says the latest three objects down by the U.S. Military may have been benign. I Norman hall. White House national security spokesman John Kirby says the three objects down in the past week could be tied to some commercial or benign purpose, press secretary, karine Jean Pierre. The objects were indeed flying at lower elevation, and they were in civilian airspace. And we wanted to make sure that we protected that airspace. Pentagon officials gave some lawmakers a private briefing, Senate Republican Tom cotton of Missouri says the administration is sending Nick's signals about the objects, but Senate leader Chuck Schumer disagrees. I think some of our Republican colleagues are being at the very minimum premature and often just very political. Weather challenges and the remote locations of where the three objects were shot down have impeded recovery efforts so far. Norman hall, Washington

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Republicans Will Hold Biden Admin Accountable
"There are people like Sheryl Huckabee Sanders. Also, in our universe, and that gives me a great deal of inspiration. Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace. But we are under attack in a left wing cultural war, we didn't start and never wanted to fight. Every day we are told we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols. All while big government colludes with big tech to strip away the most American thing there is. Your freedom of speech. That's not normal. It's crazy. And it's wrong. Make no mistake. Republicans will not surrender this fight. We will lead with courage and do what's right. Not what's politically correct or convenient. Republicans believe in an America where strong families thrive in safe communities. Where jobs are abundant and paychecks are rising. We're the freedom our veterans shed their blood to defend. Is the birthright of every man, woman, and child. These are the principles Republican governors are fighting for, and in Washington, under the leadership of Senate Republicans and speaker Kevin McCarthy. We will hold the Biden administration accountable.

The Debt Ceiling Showdown With Congressman Andy Biggs
"There is a critical fight that is looming in Congress. In fact, it's happening right now. I'm going to read from Politico dot com. Senate Republicans tell the house the debt ceiling fight is on you, basically the Senate Republicans are doing what they do best, which is to run to the hills and do absolutely nothing. So this is on the new House of Representatives to fight to hold the line and hopefully use the debt ceiling fight as a way to get an effectuate some meaningful change. Joining us now from the great state of Arizona is Andy Biggs, Andy, welcome back to the program. Hey, Charlie, good to be with you. So Andy, walk us through what is exactly going on with the debt ceiling fight, the Senate wants nothing to do with it, but we have the majority and more specifically the house freedom caucus has really more power than ever before. So what's the strategy what's the game plan of this critical fight? Okay, so for people who don't understand this, the debt ceiling hit last week and that's an estimation that we're going to run out of money. Now the way that happens is that came on the 19th and then from the 19th for about until July or August, we have enough money, but we have enough we're going to take some special measures to get us through that. But before then, we're going to have to raise the debt ceiling, so we don't default on our loans. So that that's what it boils down to. The problem is the Democrats and some of my own Republican friends have spent this into oblivion to get there and they believe in something called the modern monetary theory, Charlie, which means that you could just keep printing money and it won't have any effects. In other words, you can just keep borrowing money. So what we need to do is to counterbalance that you're going to have to have a short term increase in your debt in order to pay off all of your loans and other your obligations. But you're going to have to reduce your spending and the way you reduce your spending as you go through, first of all, and you find anything, just like you would in a normal budget. I did it last week. I didn't realize I had so many Amazon channels. Amazon Prime channels, Charlie. And so I went through and I just started whacking them because it's crazy. You have to do the same thing at a bigger level.

Senator Rick Scott Discusses His Challenge to Mitch McConnell
"Think that Mitch McConnell has got to go and he has done some real damage to our country, the omnibus is just the latest example. Walk us through your current plans, your calculus, and what do you think is the state of Senate Republican leadership? Well, I ran against Republican. I ran against Mitch McConnell because I think we have to have a new direction. I mean, probably one of the best examples is omnibus or two weeks away from have Republican leadership in the house and we let Nancy Pelosi instruction were right and I'm in this bill and then Mitch McConnell supported. Votes for it. And that's wrong. I mean, that's not we didn't get rid of the IRS agents with it. I mean, there's nothing, I mean, there's a good spending power. There's something good probably in the Bill. It was logical. But we've got 31 and a half $1 trillion worth of debt. It didn't have Republican priorities had Democrat priorities in there. And so I wanted a new direction. And I'm going to keep fighting for a new direction. We've got a great Republican Party out in around the country. We got to start having the Republican Party in D.C., which we don't. Stop taking into the Democrats. And China Bill, the gun Bill, the infrastructure Bill. All those were just caves, the Democrats. It wasn't Republican priorities. Those were Democrat priorities. And I think we've got to change this party. If we want to win elections, we've got to say, don't just do what some people want to do and say, well, the Democrats are bad, which they are. You're going to say, but this is what we're going to do and we're hell bent on doing it.

Robyn Pfaffman: GOP Senators Who Passed Omnibus Bill Need to Go
"President Trump coming out earlier today and he is fired up over these 18 Senate Republicans who voted for the massive omnibus and an in doing so tied the hands of McCarthy and the Republicans in the House. He says they all need to be primaried. They gotta go. Agree or disagree. Agree a 1000%. They all need to go again, they're rhinos, and they're part of the group think. And they just go along to get along. They're a part of what Trump famously calls the swamp and the swamp has a lot of creatures in it that are very ingrained in below the sea level, right? You don't want to stick your foot in the swamp because it might get bitten off. And these are the people that just go along to get along. You know, Todd, you and I know these people personally, some of them. And they are afraid to come out and speak their mind. They may think something differently privately when the door is closed, but they're going to go along with the crowd. And you know, you see this in all levels of life, you know, whether you're in elementary school or high school or a university student or in the workplace, where someone will say, well, what do you think and people are really afraid to voice what they think? And that's how you have these 18 Republicans who did what they did in the Senate. And it terrible. 87,000 IRS agents associated 7000 needs to be down at the border. And speaking of the border Todd, while we're talking because you know that's my number one issue, having been through September 11th and all these people that are creeping into our country that we have no accounting for.

Monica Crowley: Outrage As McConnell Invites Biden to Kentucky
"You have coined at the uni party. Mitch McConnell inviting Joe Biden to Kentucky tomorrow to celebrate this outrageous economic plan of the president's. I mean, it's basically spitting in the face of the Republican Party and especially conservative voters. Yes, and that's exactly why McConnell is going to do exactly that. He doesn't have to go to, you know, he doesn't have to host the president in his home state. He's doing it on purpose. This is a deliberate message to the America first movement to the Republican base and any others who question McConnell and his leadership and where his loyalties lie, which is with the uni party. It's not with conservatives. It's not with Republican voters. It's not even really what the country. It's with Mitch McConnell, period. So, you know, hosting the president and his home state tomorrow, et cetera this is a giant middle finger to the rest of us. And it's also a big power play, too. Because he's seen what's going on in the house, he sees America firsters, are really challenging Kevin McCarthy will have to see how this shakes out. But it's just a very defiant move on the part of McConnell because he just got reelected in the Senate and the leadership without a fight, and he could care less, he is so compromised by the CCP, he and his family have gotten a ton of money just like Joe Biden from CCP related enterprises. He is enriched and empowered himself over all of these years in the Senate and he could care less about the country about the state of the GOP and frankly about the America first agenda. And so this is just a giant signal. This is exactly what he's doing. It's appalling and it's outrageous and Senate Republicans to ought to be ashamed of themselves for reelecting him without a fight.

New Congress to convene, but will McCarthy be House speaker?
"Congress will reconvene today, kicking off a year of divided government. For two years, Democrats were in charge here at The White House and in both capital chambers. You controlled it all. And house GOP leader Kevin McCarthy says they failed at it all. Now there's going to be different. Whether McCarthy becomes how speaker remains unclear, but the shift is sure to complicate things here. The GOP will be able to stymie some of President Biden's agenda and before leaving for the holidays he appealed for less partisanship of Nazi each other as Democrats or Republicans. Not as members of team red or team blue. But rather, as Americans, his administration's launching a bipartisan blitz today to tout how the economy's benefited from the parties working together. The president will make a rare joint appearance in Kentucky with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. At The White House.

Rep. Bob Good: Omnibus Bill Proves What's Wrong With the Swamp
"You did your best to prevent a lump of coal from coming into our Christmas stockings, namely that bloated omnibus bill talk about what you saw as you reviewed that more than 4000 pages in casting your vote. If anything reveals what's wrong with Washington, what's wrong with the swamp cartel, the uni party swamp cartel and why we need transformative change, transformational change to Washington. Why we can not keep doing what we've always done and hoping for somehow some way we're going to get different results. It's what happened on Christmas Eve with the 4000 page plus 7000 plus earmarks $15 billion of the $1.7 trillion spending boondoggle funding the government into September as you know, taking away the leverage that Republicans in the House, the people that representatives and powered by the people with three to 4 million more votes than Democrats got in the election. November 8th, the people spoke, the greatest indication of where the people are, of course, is not the Senate because the disproportionate two per state representation that you have or even the Electoral College, the winner take all for state. But it's the people's representatives in the House that represent most clearly indicate where the American people are. They gave us the power to stop the Biden Schumer agenda in the new Congress and Senate Republicans strip that away in a backroom deal the McConnell mcdaniel, McCarthy deal in the back room by the moderate cartel, if you will, that's running the Republican Party today. Why would we be changed? May this deal, that's a disaster for the American people that just exacerbates all that's wrong with the two years up in full Democrat control. They essentially with Republican help in the Senate extended it 9 months, ten months into the new year stripping away the power that people gave Republicans in the House.

Matt Gates Opposes Omnibus Bill
"Yes, David, I actually think the okay button is one of the shrewd at the only Kevin button, the okay button. And the okay caucus has a majority of the House. So there isn't going to be an alternative speaker. There might not be an assembly of the house for a long time. This might become, that's why I tell everyone. If you're mad at the omnibus, blame Matt Gaetz, because they would not. They might have pointed the omnibus into next year if there had been a House majority guarantee but they could not run the risk of the government shutting down. And I've been defending the conservative vote for it. You can not have the defense industry. You can't have the Department of Defense running on a CR. You just can't. No, no. I mean, you look bad. That's certainly a viable explanation. You have Republican senators looking at their inability to unify, knowing the past history of larger majorities to govern. And they're saying to themselves, we're going to give you a mandate that the voters didn't give you to do something you couldn't even do when you had a mandate. No, granted, this goes back some years, but it's the same sort of behavior. And there's just no confidence that they can get it done. When you can't agree to organize and leave with the majority you have and at least get things started, that's why you had a lot of Senate Republicans. At least almost half of them say, we're not going to do this and look secretly, I'm sure lots of House Republicans are very happy about the Senate Republicans did. I know they are. Of course, and all of that. But you need to be able to move the ball down the field, not constantly throw hand pale marries that have no chance of getting caught and getting into the end zone.

Charlie Airs His Grievances About the GOP
"Charlie, I see a sincerity and heartfelt pain, not many people are conveying right now, but probably very much show our feeling. Thank you for your vulnerability and honest portrayal of pain and hurt and disappointment. It's true. I'm so hurt by the Senate Republicans in the midterms, it's not a fulfilling feeling. To feel as if the people that you work for hate you. I know that's a very logical and simple truth claim. But when the people that you are trying to rally support for have disdain for you. We've talked about Dante's inferno or Dante's divine comedy. Not an easy read, but I encourage you guys to attempt to either read it or to read an analysis of it. For example, you know, someone asked me the day said Charlie did read Shakespeare. He said, no. I read commentaries on Shakespeare. I mean, I couldn't understand the deeper, beautiful meaning of most Shakespeare plays. So I need an expert who has studied at his whole life or her life to tell me whether or not Shakespeare, not whether or not, but what is the beauty in this in this play mech bath, a Romeo and Juliet. I'm just not going to pick it up. I haven't committed my life. Nor do what I have the talent to be able to understand it. So anyway, in Dante's divine comedy, he says the worst thing you could do or the 9th circle of hell is betrayal. It's deceit. Treachery. And the three examples he used is cassius Brutus and, of course, Judas iscariot. No, I'm not going to say that all these Republicans are moral equivalents of Judas. You might say that. I love your thoughts freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. But it's a very similar moral behavior, isn't it? Which is I'm going to tell you one thing and I'm going to do the exact opposite.

"Going forward. Pastor Tom askell is on the patriot mobile newsmaker line running for the presidency of the Southern Baptist convention. Pastor, I know another component of this has been president Trump. And there were many southern Baptists. I suspect an overwhelming number of southern Baptists voted for the president supported the president disagreed with a lot of his behavior, but they embraced his policies and especially I think an argument can be made. He was the most pro life president in American history. That being said, there were Southern Baptist leaders, and I know this because at the time I was working at Fox News, there were Southern Baptist leaders who intentionally target president Trump and kept poking and poking and poking and then finally when the president then candidate Trump responded, all of a sudden those Southern Baptist leaders became the victims. Is there anything wrong with any Southern Baptist who voted for or supported president Trump? Well, not because they voted for president Trump. I mean, there might be things wrong with him of course. But here's the reality on that. It was explained to me very simply that about 86% of southern Baptists voted for Trump in the post mortem after Hillary Clinton didn't get coronated as the next president they were trying to decide what happened and they discovered him up. Evangelicals, 80 to 86% voted for Trump. How in the world? Well, if I am a political operative, on the other side and I'm wanting to make sure that my candidate gets elected and he doesn't get reelected, I'm going to work to shave off that 86% by 5 or 6% in order to make sure my candidate wins. And so I think that is what happened. And you know, you can look at that politically and say, well, that's just a good strategy or whatever. But some of the things that were said by evangelical and especially Southern Baptist leaders, I think were shameful because they were trying to intimidate southern babies trying to make them feel guilty for voting their convictions. And I don't know anybody who voted for president Trump thinking that he should be the pastor of the whole nation. They weren't looking at him for his personal morality failures or other things. They were looking at him for his policies and you're right. You take his four year term and measure it against anybody we've had and is there anyone that was more pro life than what his administration did. So there are good reasons to have voted for president Trump and yet many of our evangelical leaders wanted to make the case that oh no, if you voted for him, you may not be a Christian. If you voted for him, you needed to regret. And that's just ridiculous. It's poor moral reasoning number one, but it is not their responsibility to attempt to do that. Number two. And going back, and of course, maybe we should have seen this, but some of those same Southern Baptist leaders who were condemning some of our Southern Baptist pastors who had been invited to give counsel spiritual counsel to president Trump, they were being condemned while at the same time these same individuals were invited into the Obama White House, and they were photographed and promoted the fact that they were they had an audience with president Obama. Some of these same people actually invited Hillary Clinton to speak to Southern Baptist and Nashville at a gathering while ignoring actual southern Baptists like Mike Huckabee, who are running for The White House. So maybe the writing was on the wall all the time there. Smells like a Democrat, probably is a Democrat. Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, there was a lot more political than theological and spiritual going on in those decisions. And again, I mean, that's tragic. Southern Baptists deserve better than that. And we need new leadership. And I hope that the lord is going to do that, raise up new people who will come in who do not have that leftist kind of sensitivity and desire to be respected by the culture so much that they will be soft on what the word of God does actually teach. We pride ourselves as southern bathrooms to be the people of the book. Well, it's time that we take the book off the shelf and start reading it.

"That's what I call pedophile. Congressman Matt rosendale from Montana on the patriot mobile newsmaker line. Congressman from your vantage point up on Capitol Hill. Is there anything that Congress should be doing here or is should this be solely a local school district issue? I still believe in local school districts, Todd, I mean, I really believe that people continue to look at the federal government to solve their problems and quite frankly the federal government is not great at solving problems. They've created a lot of problems. But we are supposed to be here to protect our borders and to make sure that we can have commerce exchange back and forth across the nation and guess what? We have really failed miserably at those two jobs. That's why I'm even up here. I came in. As you know, as a freshman last year and to trying to get the train back on the rails, if you will. But those things need to be addressed by the local school districts and by the state superintendent. This is why we're seeing a lot more people homeschool their children. This is why we're seeing a lot more people across the nation that are seeking out and running for these local school board positions because they understand now when we went through COVID when they started listening in to the classrooms and they were actually educating their children themselves at home. They discovered there was a lot of discoveries made about the grooming and the brainwashing that was taking place across this country. All right, well, congressman, we appreciate you shining a great big light on this. I mean, this is a serious matter, and I think you're right. I think this is why many moms and dads are turning to home schooling that the numbers are exploding all over America as a folks are pulling their kids out of these public school indoctrination centers. Let me tell you, I am really just a firm believer that the hard hard left is trying to destroy our families, they're trying to keep us from practicing our faith and they're trying to brainwash out children. And everyone needs to stand up and say, we're not going to tolerate it to emperors not wearing clothes and you can say what you want about me, but the truth is the truth and we're just not going to put up with it anymore. Well, based on that pride parade footage, folks aren't wearing many clothes and that thing either, so there you go. All right, congressman, we're going to leave it there. God bless you, appreciate it. God bless you, and your audience. Thanks for having me on. All right, congressman rosendale from Montana. Not mincing any words at all. He says if you're a public school teacher or any teacher for that matter, and you are sharing about your own personal sexual experiences in the classroom, that makes you a pedophile.

But any gun in your house, if you get flagged, they will take every gun you own, and they'll take that away, and it's quite frankly it's going to be hard to get those guns back. And maybe I missed something, but did I understand you said that this has been voted on or? Well, no, they've reached an they've reached an agreement. So what you need to be doing is calling your senator Tom tell us and you need to be raising holy you know what, and maybe that's what you should do during the break. Call your senators and tell them to vote this down. All right, got to take a break 8 four four 747 88 68 will be right back America. Mama is treated me to breakfast. Yep, let me see your phone.

All right, well, hello America, good to have you with us today. Welcome to the Todd star and radio program, broadcasting border to border, coast to coast across the prudent plane. There's a weird story and of all places Montana, I am genuinely surprised by this story, and it comes to us from congressman manned rosendale, a Republican from Montana. The zoo and billings called Zoom Montana is hosting a drag queen story hour. No, I'm not making this up. This is all part of the gay pride celebrations there in Montana. And they're inviting the children to come to the zoo, where the drag queens will cavort about with the children. And then they'll be able to go check out the zoo. They're calling it a family friendly event. Funny, that's what they called the gay pride parade in Los Angeles, and we've got the videos showing a grown man dressed as women dancing atop eggplants. And doing lord knows what. Anyway, it's $4 per person, and you have to use the password, fierce. As in fierce. All right, let's go to the patriot mobile newsmaker line. Our good friend from the great state of Montana, congressman rosendale, congressman, good to have you back with us. Good to be back with you, Todd. I'm glad that somebody's out there helping us fight the culture war. Yeah, this one is a head scratcher and of all places Montana and at your local zoo congressman. Yeah, it's really a shame. I've been talking to a lot of people over the last several days. I was back in billings on Saturday and Sunday, and they are deeply disturbed of the rank and file people, community members across that city are deeply disturbed. A lot of them are supporters of zoom and I will tell you that there was more discussions about pulling their support from Zoom Montana based upon this very strange and outlandish plan that they have to expose children to such a perverted sexual act is it's just very bothersome. And disappointing quite, frankly. Congressman have we heard from the zoo or are they explaining why it's so important to have the drag queens come in and read to the children? The executive director basically doubled down on it and said that I was being approved or something like that because it was just a story hour for children and I am sorry this is a classic example of grooming these children and having them have discussions about sexuality that they should not be exposed to and anyone that thinks that that is somewhere short of child abuse and very close to pedophilia as far.

"All right, you lutherans you're in the news. This is from Fox, a transgender Lutheran bishop, in California, that's a mouthful, resigned over allegations, oh, this is interesting. So the bishop did not resign over the transgender issue. The bishop resigned over allegations of racism from the congregation. This is great. You know, what's really hard about these racial identity people is that you got to know which card trumps the other and race always trumps everything everything else. Anyway, 8 four four 747 88 68, that's our toll free telephone number that's 8 four four 747 8 6 8. This story from Alex nitzberg of the blaze dot com. A California pet shop has barred gun control opponents from adopting animals. And threatens to sue anyone who lies about supporting the NRA. The name of the organization is called the shelter hope pet shop in Thousand Oaks, California. And if you support the National Rifle Association and you want to adopt a pet, then they're not going to let you do that. The owner says quote, we do not support those who believe the Second Amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons. If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you. If you lie about being an NRA supporter, make no mistake we will sue you for fraud. If you believe that if you believe that it is our responsibility to protect ourselves in public places, an arm ourselves with a gun do not come to us to adopt a dog. Wow. So anyway, she did an interview, the owner did an interview with the NBC News. And she's doubling down, so all of you pro gun folks, you're not going to be allowed to adopt a pet from miss Kim sill is her name, Kim syl. She says that many people have already called and threatened to stop donating money. And she says, fine, keep your money. If I go out of business, I go out of business, but I have to do something. And this is the only thing I can do to make the point that mass killings by people armed with guns have to stop. So she's going to punish what law abiding gun owners is not what she's trying to do here. This makes no sense to me. Grace baker, what say you hear the dog owner, you're the dog lover here. Well, it's ironic because most shelters across the country, especially after the pandemic are overrun with animals and they're basically begging people to take the pets. So now this lady's like making it even harder for people to get the pets. It really just hurts the dogs. There's plenty of places people can go get pets, but those poor animals. I feel bad for the pets. You know that she probably feeds them like organic tofu stuff. Poor things. I feel bad for it. I feel bad for the dogs. I really do. The cat's not so much. But the dogs. I feel bad for the whole puppy. That's terrible..

Oh, goodness. There's so much, but regarding your current subject, you know, I believe the pandemic was a planned, and there's plenty of evidence for that. And there's even evidence about monkeypox, which they were already working on a cure for months and months ago before it come out. You know, can I am so glad you remind me of the big monkey pox epidemic? I mean, this is, I think you're onto something here, cat. Again, they've got to figure out a way to stop people from going to the ballot box in November. That's what this is really all about. And again, if people are not going to go, I think people are over the China virus, but I'm not so sure I'm not so sure about monkeypox. I believe it all happened. Dad, once again, wow, wow, can't we barely hear you? What's going on is somebody trying to attack you? Oh, my dog's barking at my landlord coming in. Oh boy, all right. That low ground. And the thing is, he loves me. Well, that's nice. But no, Bill Barr did nothing to help president Trump or our country. And I have no faith at all that anything will ever happen to any of these people who have committed treason and who are against our country. And if Donald Trump runs, I'll vote for him, but I have no doubt that he will not win. They will do anything to stop him from winning. Well, let's hope that we have super majorities of Republicans that are elected in the House and the Senate and let's hope and pray cat that they truly are conservative Republicans, and they'll stand up and defend and defend Donald Trump, but look, I wouldn't put, I wouldn't put anything past these guys, and they're going to try. They're going to try to keep you from going and voting on election day. And we're going to have to make sure that doesn't happen. Cat got a run. Good hearing from you. I didn't think for a second.

"Farrah, what say you? Hi Todd. I would like to talk about how they are using January 6th as a way of deflecting what this current regime is up to in The White House. We have an old tottering forwarding man clearly has cognitive issue and is not in control. He's weak and ineffectual. And Farah, where do you think all of this goes? What you say it's a deflection. What do you think it's a deflection of? Because this current, I call it regime. That's all this is. Because this regime is incapable of helping this country build up again. You see, Farrah, that's where I think this is, I have an answer to your thought here. I don't think they want this country to be great. They don't want this country to be successful. They don't want a thriving economy. They've got a destroy it so they can build up what they want to happen next in this country. And what is that? We're talking about the socialist regime. That's why they look, when you go back and look at the China virus pandemic for just a moment. So let's talk about the China virus pandemic for just a moment. What was the point of all of that Farrah? It wasn't to protect people. It wasn't about public safety. This was to see how far the government could push the average American citizen. How much civil liberty could we take away from the average American citizen? That's what this is really all about and fair. Thanks for the call. This is about testing. Testing the American people to see if there really is resolve to defend our freedoms. If there really is resolve to stand up and do whatever it takes to protect the constitution. That's what this is all about. And I think, again, looking back on the China virus, debacle. I think what you will see ladies and gentlemen is that we failed the test. You say, well, Tom, what are you talking about? How many people shut down their businesses? How many people shut down their church houses? And we saw in places and again, I'm not talking about Berkeley, California, not talking about godforsaken, Brooklyn, New York. I'm talking about Mississippi, where they literally sent the police out to hand out tickets and punish people attending an outdoor church service. So we have done a pretty lousy job as people. Because we had the opportunity to stand up. And so now what are they doing? They're about to use red flag laws. To crack down on your gun ownership. That's where all this is going. You watch what happens when they take away the guns all bets are off, and they know it. That's why they want to get them. And they got a bunch of moron Republicans more than willing to join the cause..

"Right, look, we've got to take a break here, 8 four four 747 88 68. I am curious. And we've got a few moments here before art alley drops by. Who would you like to see running in 2024? Would you like to see Ron DeSantis or is this Donald Trump's race? 8 four four 747 88 68. This is the Todd show. Is it acceptable to go to Mickey D's just for a drink? Of course it is. But good luck leaving with just a drink. It's more than a drink. It's a Mickey D's drink. And right now, a small minute made slushy is just one 59. So all you have to do is choose a flavor. Like the tropical mango, or strawberry watermelon, and enjoy, like it's meant to be enjoyed. Prices and participation may vary can not be combined with any other offer. All right, well, you know, so by the way, it's not just Liz Cheney. So now you have, you've got big Bill Barr, sheriff Bill, and he is out there casting dispersions on dinesh d'souza and the 2000 mules. Documentary. Liz Cheney, just a few moments ago. She said that it had been debunked. Let's play that audio. And this, Donald Trump now, quote, clings to more fantastical theories. Such as dinesh d'souza's debunked 2000 mules. Even as recounts in Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin confirm Trump lost. All right. And so then Bill Barr goes on and they just, we're working on getting this audio for you. This is happening in real time. On the program. Are we ready? Let's listen. By fraud. And I haven't seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that. Including the 2000 mules movie. Well, maybe you can assess that 2000 mules and people are talking about that. Well, I mean, just in a nutshell, you know, I just think the GBI was unimpressed with it. And I was suddenly unimpressed with it because I think because I was holding my fire on that to see what the photographic evidence was because I felt a little hell if they have a lot of photographs of the same person dumping a lot of ballots in different boxes, you know, that's hard to explain. So I wanted to see what the photographic evidence was, but the cell phone data is singularly unimpressive. I mean, it basically, if you take 2 million cell phones and figure out where they are physically in a big city like Atlanta or wherever, just by definition, you're going to find many hundreds of them have passed by and spent time in the vicinity of these boxes. And the premise that if you go by a bar, 5 boxes or whatever it was, you know, that that's a mule is just indefensible. All right, so that's Bill Barr laughing. Literally little laughing. You heard him. That was Bill Barr. And I don't know, I don't know if he was inebriated. I don't think he was. I don't think he slurred his words, but that's irrelevant grace maker. I'm just saying that Bill Barr and Liz Cheney are both using this national platform of the committee to disparage 2000 mules. So why are they not bringing in dinesh d'souza so they can ask in these questions? De Souza says he's happy to show up. He's happy to answer the questions. Pay attention here, folks. We're not going to let anything slip through the cracks, but something's not right about this. I smell a rat. All right, let's go to the phones here. 8 four four 747 88 68.

"Bill, where do you see things going for the midterms? I mean, it looks like the Republicans are almost all but guaranteed to take over the house. What say you? Well, I think the Democrats are in a place that is almost impossible and four and a half months to get out of. So you have two things you have social justice, which is collapsing, collapse the criminal justice system. Everybody knows that. And you have climate change, which has collapsed the economy. That ignited inflation by making it more difficult to harvest fossil fuels in America that raised the cost of everything. Democrats were solidly behind both. You can't get out of that hole. The problem is that the Republicans are fairly mediocre you don't hear a lot of solutions to problems from the GOP. And so if I were leading the party in one of the problems, is there is no one leading the Republican Party. No one. I would put the word out. Look, yeah, we got a great chance in November, but you're going to have to come up with some innovative solutions to problems. Because Republicans have not yet done that. You know, I saw some reports out earlier today. More people are talking up desantis. Hoping that he steps up to the plate. Do you think I don't think desantis runs throws his head in if Trump is in fact going to run in 2024? I don't think your primary Trump, why would he do that? He's a young guy, he wants to alienate 50% of the Republican Party, the maga people. Why would you want to do that? So if Trump runs, there's a possibility to send this may be the second. I know that's been discussed. One of the two would have to move out of Florida, but that's not hard to do. But if Trump runs, it's going to be hard for anybody to primary him because he's going to have so much money and he's got a built in 50% of the Republican Party that will vote for him. And to give Trump his due, he ran the economy well. Sure did. Sure did. And that's what it's all about. And he ran it well, 1.4% inflation under Trump, we're scraping 11, 12% inflation now under Biden after 18 months. I mean, come on. So I don't see anybody really in a Republican Party challenging Trump. Trump knows that. And that's why they're trying to take them out in other areas. A lot of January 6th committee. Well, there you go. All right, Bill, we're going to leave it there. Great to see you. This past week at the talkers convention and we got your book up on the website to folks. It builds right. It makes a great Father's Day gift and as a generous offer to so take advantage of that build good here and from you. Thank you, Todd. Appreciate it. All right, Bill O'Reilly, everybody. Wow, he delivered just a terrific defense of talk radio. And he's right. We are the last line of defense. And I will take it a step further. There are big corporate conglomerates that control most of talk radio. They're the ones that are out there telling their host and their staff, you're going to get that you're going to get the vaccine. And if you don't, you're going to lose your job. You got to show up to the office wearing the mask. You got to toe the party line. Some of these guys are actually telling their telling their talk show host, they're not allowed to talk about the what happened in the 2020 presidential election. So I would contend that the independent owned and operated talk radio stations are the ones that are ultimately leading the charge here because I can tell you as the owner of the talk radio station, I don't tell my people what they can and can't say. That's their right. That's their ability, their privilege that we give them to work here at stern's media. All.

"So what a weird weekend and in Los Angeles, you've got this other baptist convention out there so you got a lot of baptist and it was also gay pride weeks that had the big pride parade. And grace baker, we've got the photos up over at Todd starns dot com. The headline we have genitals and lube. Yeah, don't look at it during the lunch hour, I suggest. Made me lose my appetite. Especially if you're eating eggplant Parmesan. I just want to throw that out there. I'm not even going to ask why. So one of the parade floats there's a giant eggplant. And a drag queen is mounted atop the eggplant. And surrounded by men wearing a thong thong underwear. Well, that's I guess it was hot. Horrifying image. Yeah, it is. Yeah. And clearly something that I have not been sunning themselves. A little too much past eNOS, if you're asking me. Buy some self Tanner. So here's what gets me though, grace. I got in trouble at Fox. Years ago because I described these big burly men and butler's leather chaps that were marching in the parade. And that was just describing what I saw. You're calling it like you saw it, and I was accused. Of advancing stereotypes. And I'm like, it's not a stereotype that they were wearing but less leather champs. Oh my gosh. And I made a comment about how it could be difficult. I mean, with the chafing. Oh, there it is. Yeah, because they weren't wearing underpants. That's apparently a thing in these pride parades. So anyway, so I decide, you know what, as disgusting as this stuff is, we're going to post the pictures because I want people to see. I want them to know the word I'm making this up. And sure enough, we've got there's the video of the drag queen shouting atop the eggplant. We have genitals and lube, and their kids just hundreds of kids as Kyle okay, he looks like he's killed. It looks a little peckish. He looks a little peeked. It's okay, Kyle. We're gonna get you through this. So you've got, so you've got that, and all these children. So they're hollering out to the children we have genitals, genitals, and lube. They're like mommy, what is lube? Well, let's just say you don't use it just to go down the slip N slide. Little buddy. Or maybe you can. There's also video grace baker of men who are, I'm just going to read the description here. It says a mother stands by an excitement as her toddler is exposed to half naked men whipping each other and BDSM and doggy play attire. So they're dressed in like these whips and chains. And it's not like they're half naked, they're about 75% naked. I mean, I don't want to see anybody like that. And they're literally, I mean, they've got like a whip and they're like whipping, whipping their friends and as they walk along, is that normal? Not to my knowledge. Anyway, there are other videos of children, and this is fascinating. We got to get the guy a shout out who did all this drew Hernandez. Is the guy. Some of the parents were just, they were forcing their children. And there's this one video. It's like, mommy, I don't want to watch. I don't want to watch them in, you know, spanking the other man in the cards. Yes, it does look like it hurts, right? A spanking. But one of the moms was literally physically turning the child, so I mean, this is child abuse. Yes. Every single parent ought to be charged with child abuse, who brought their kids to. Look, that's what you want to do. You know, in front of God country and the Southern Baptist and knock yourself out. But not in front of the children. I mean, come on. She's a low America..

"Right. Folks, we have got a lot going on and one of the big stories happened over the weekend, while you were at church, worshiping our lord. So while you were singing praise and worship songs and you were having a great time, the Senate Republicans were conspiring to take away your guns. Now, this is a big deal. This is a big story and one that we need. We need to talk about. Because we've got to, we've got to call out these rhinos. There's no difference between these people and Democrats, aside from the fact that Democrats are at least more honorable than these Republicans, because they live up to their word. They live up to their promises. But you've got these rhino Republicans. And we're going to name names. By the way, we've got unlisted over a Todd stern's dot com. You say, well, Todd, are you concerned that these guys might not come on your program anymore? You know what? I don't care. I do not care. If they are not going to live up to their promises, the promises they made to the American people to the conservatives to gun owners in America, we don't want them on this radio program. And I get that all the time from these folks. We'll say something critical and the next thing you know, we're getting calls from their people. I just can't believe you called out our Republican so and so. How could you do that? You betrayed the party. No, let me say something here, folks. And we have a lot of new listeners in the North Carolina area Winston Salem and Greensboro. And I want you to listen to me on this. I don't carry anybody's water on this program. Somebody offends our audience, somebody betrays our audience. You better believe we're going to be out there and we're going to be calling them out. I don't care if they're a Democrat, don't care if they're a Republican. Don't care if they're a conservative Republican. What was it last week we had congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on her staff is all upset at us. And why is that? Because we call her out. We said, can you explain why Milo yiannopoulos is on your is working as an unpaid intern on your stamp? A position that clearly should have gone to an actual college kid from her congressional district. We called him out on it. They may not like it, they may never want to come back on the program, but that's on them. It's not on us. It's on them. So you've got these Senate Republicans and they have decided that they are going to introduce sensible gun control legislation. All right, let's just let's just get something straight here. There's no such thing as sensible with these people. This is all designed to eventually get your guns. That's what this is really all about. Now, one of the components is probably the most disturbing for me, and look, I don't have a problem, you want to raise the age to 21. All right, fine. I don't have a problem with that. I don't think it would have stopped any of the mass shootings as a matter of fact when you look at the percentages. And by the way, only 3%, only 3% of the people killed in gun related crimes, those crimes were committed using an AR-15. Only 3%. I mean, it's a horrible number. You don't want anybody to lose their life. But the reality is, this is not the problem. Ultimately, they're going after the handguns. That's what this is really all about. But a component of this legislation and one that has me very concerned involves the red flag laws. Now, these red flag laws are designed so it gives the government whether it be the state government or the federal government. It gives them full control over whether or not you get to own guns or not. It is a matter if you're a law abiding citizen. It doesn't matter. If somebody calls in and says, you know, I saw Todd and he was really impatient in the drive-through at Chick-fil-A the other day. And he didn't say thank you. When the person said my pleasure, I think there's something going on there. There could be a not go by door 15 minutes later for the police say, hey, we got a confiscate your guns because you were impolite and the drive-through line at the Chick-fil-A, which by the way, I've never been implied at the try through a Chick-fil-A. Wendy's, on the other hand, that's a different story. But they can take away your guns and we have seen this played out that there have been some stories out there. And this is not very well publicized, but this is a very dangerous, this red flag law is very, very dangerous. I'll give you an most recently. There was a guy in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And what we love about our Virginia listeners, you guys have declared war on your local school boards. As well, you should, every parent, every taxpayer in America, you ought to be attending school board meetings, you ought to be raising concerns. You got to be reading these textbooks because this is how they're radically changing America. And the people in Virginia get that. They're like, absolutely. So this guy goes to the school board meeting. He's just a regular Joe, and he raises concerns. The guy doesn't want his little girl sharing a bathroom with a grown boy who thinks he's a girl. And so what happens? Well, after that school board meeting, there's a knock on the door. It's law enforcement. The FBI said that this guy posed a threat. And therefore they had to confiscate his guns. Now this happened in Virginia. Just to what a couple of months ago, we told you the story when it happened on this radio program. So I've got big concerns about what the, what the Republicans have signed on here to. And again, this goes to the heart of whatever the heck president Trump was thinking by endorsing Doctor Oz, who is in fact supportive of gun control. So now we have the Democrats have a filibuster proof majority to get this legislation through the Senate. And I want to name the senators who betrayed gun owners. John cornyn, Roy blunt, Richard burr, Bill Kansas, boy, that guy turned out to be a leftist. At a Louisiana, Susan Collins in Maine. Senator Lindsey Graham, rob Portman, Willard Mitt Romney, and pat toomey. At Tom tillis for you folks there in North Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen, every single one of these and I believe Portman is not running for reelection. Every single one of these deserve to be sent home. Quite frankly, at this point, we'd be better off with Democrats in those seats than those people right now. But this is where we are. This is only the start. And all you have to do is go through and look at your history, and we're not going to have a history lesson today. We may do that later in the week, though. But when you go back and look at history over the past hundred years or so, and you see what happens, when a government starts to take away the guns of the citizens, it ends a dictatorships, it ends in genocide, it ends freedom. And that's why we have to be very, very careful. About what's happening in this country when they're coming after our guns like this. But you folks in North Carolina, Tom tell us really where you surprised that tell us did this. I mean, Susan Collins in Maine, you guys are used to her going to wish you wishy washy squishy. I mean, that's not a surprise. But Lindsey Graham out of South Carolina, what a what's that guy is. He is all over the place on this stuff. So look, we're going to get into that. Also, new numbers coming out and it's not looking good for Joe Biden. A little bit later, we're going to be talking to a guy who wants to head up the Southern Baptist convention, his name is Tom askew. And when you look at what's been happening in this country from a cultural perspective, it's very clear to me that southern Baptists have disengaged the nation's largest Protestant denomination they've disengaged. Bill O'Reilly is going to be here. It's going to be a lot of fun. Your calls coming up next, 8 four four 747 88 68 that's a toll free telephone number 8 four four 747 88 68..

Life from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common sense conservative commentary from Todd stars. That's right. I love this American ride oh my God. Ladies and gentlemen, can I just, I just want to say something and look, I love New York. Had a great time in New York City. But I am so glad to not be living in New York City. It was as soon as I landed on Saturday morning, back at Memphis international airport, I got down on my hands and knees and I kissed God southern soil. Welcome, by the way, to the Todd surge radio program. And I had a great visit. I want to thank our good friend Jeff Stein, by the way, for filling in. Had a great visit. To the talkers convention at sponsored by talkers magazine and they were very gracious to name me to the heavy hundred. The top 100 talk radio host in America. And we had a wonderful time visiting a lot of the people that you hear on this program. But it was held in New York City. And just a couple of observations, the city has gone to hell in a handbasket. And it's a terrible thing, but this is what happens when you have a terrible leadership. I mean, they were under the communist regime, a Bill de Blasio comrade de Blasio for a number of years. Then you had Mike Michael Bloomberg, Mikey Bloomberg, the Democrat turned Republican turned independent turned God knows what. And the city is just, it's a hellhole. And it's very sad to say that, but it is. We were wandering through a Times Square. And my news anchor, or rather the host of the morning show, on Kwame our flagship station, Tim van horn. Had never been to New York City before. So this was a virgin experience for mister van horn. And so we thought, you know what? We're gonna stay in Times Square to give him the whole saturation. You're just plunge right in. And grace baker, all I can tell you is when we got out of the when we got out of the Uber, the first thing that just smacks you upside, it's just as hot and humid up there as it is in the south. Oh yeah. But here you have the fragrance of people who bathe regularly. And you have Magnolia trees. And you have the sweet smell of barbecue in the air. Yeah, it's pleasant. We open up the it's a very pleasant aroma. We opened up the door to the Uber and the first thing we were smacked upside the head by marijuana smoke. They literally have, you know how we have food trucks in the south. They have marijuana trucks, where you can go up and you can get your cannabis. I mean, everybody was smoking. I got a contact high just by walking out of the hotel. Well Todd, I think life up there so miserable right now. So the homeless people are literally all over the place very aggressive opinion handlers, so you're getting the stench of the, you've got the stench of the marijuana smoke, the weed. You've got the wacky tobacco. You've never cut that. You haven't heard that called? No. Oh, you're a Presbyterian. It's okay. You let the shelter in life. So then you've got the smell of the homeless people stale urine that has like been heated superheated by the sunlight. Just what I love to smell first thing in the morning. I couldn't wait to get out of there. It is so nice to be back in God's country as they say. Welcome back Todd. Thank you, grace baker. All.

"And republicans just were eager and flocking towards this so people to judge is now taking a victory lap. Is he now knows. They are one step closer to eradicate thing oil and natural gas to push the green agenda Three here's the way i think. Transportation is the biggest sector in our economy. When it comes to emitting greenhouse gases so to me that means we have to be the biggest part of the solution. And what's exciting about that. Even though it's daunton is that we can also create a lot of jobs as we go whether it's jobs making the electric vehicles of the future that are gonna provide clean transportation or whether it's jobs in the transit systems that we're funding that are going to help give people alternatives and take cars off the road. Take cars off the road not to mention the economic impacts of this. Are you experiencing inflation. Are you experiencing rising prices. Well you can thank senate republicans for that. Instead of standing for sound currency is that a standing for a stable dollar senate. Republicans basically are now saying inflation. So what we're rich and powerful. It's not like we're our constituents solid. We care about our voters senator. Mike lee who is one of the good guys and a very decent person. I disagree senator. Mike lee on immigration. That's about it senator. Mike lee is amazing on the size and scope of government and really good on monetary policy. And honestly he's a very good person. Yes he's honest. He is fair and he was just terrific on our recent play cut. Twenty nine senator. Mike lee sang inflation's going up because the federal government's been spending too much money doesn't have cut twenty nine. Please look inflation's going way.

"Rather obvious what it really is. It's been children with a veneer of bipartisanship but what it really has become is the gateway to lead right into this three point five trillion dollar package the bernie sanders transformation of america package. That they're trying to set up and they gave us a twenty seven hundred page bill in only a few days to look at it and then the very afternoon that we got the cbo score. That tells what the bill actually cost. It fell short by quarter of a trillion dollars in cut. Twenty senator bill hagerty says that republicans under trump were criticized for not respecting our institutions. But now democrats move to federalize our elections and the beginning of court packing. And i want to reiterate what i said earlier. Your republicans that put into office. And i'm going to. Let's let's read off the list. Why don't we do that. Roy blunt missouri. Richard burr north carolina shelley moore capito west. Virginia bill cassidy louisiana susan collins. Main deb fisher. Nebraska lindsey graham south carolina. Chuck grassley ia. John hoven north dakota mitch mcconnell kentucky. Lisa murkowski alaska rob portman ohio. James risch idaho. Mitt romney utah dan. Sullivan alaska thom tillis north carolina. Mike crepeau idaho. Kevin kramer north dakota roger wicker mississippi. They've just made buddha judge an oligarch europe. He judges a bunch of money. Power a bunch of phrases that you can interpret. Go make a name for yourself. Is that what republicans should be doing to go to go make five foot five wanna be oligarch who wants to be president more than anything else life. Which by the way timeout. Anyone wants president. That much probably shouldn't be near political power. It's like andrew qana destined to fail. They just handed people judge a one point. Two trillion dollar wire transfer larger than the obama stimulus that includes the following provisions. It grants select cabinet secretaries to off to the authority to fully fund select infrastructure projects with taxpayer dollars by waving cost-sharing rules in the bill. If one of your senators just named voted for this. You should ask. Why did you just make people to judge so powerful. Is that why people are rising up in record numbers to go vote in campaign. What happens when leaders. Don't listen to their voters. Their constituents will this legislative act of deception when it does. is it a roads and decays and diminishes people's trust in the system mine included. I love governor rhonda. Santa's you know why he says what he's going to do any implements it. He's a leader. He's honest he's clear. Senate republicans have done the opposite senate. Republicans go to the country club. They roll into work around ten. Am and there's some very good ones. Senator cruz is terrific. Senator rand paul has been phenomenal in fact. We're gonna play a clip from senator rand paul but generally the senate republicans are just there to be part of the good. Old boys club doesn't resonate as much as it used to. But that's really what it is. It's a country club with legislative movement. Every once in a while and many of them don't care they just want to bridge named after them. It'll be a lobbyist for something tank. Afterwards the power is still in your hands everybody but it does a road trust in the system it does make me feel as if the senators they think they have a divine right of kings to rule over you. There is no explanation to make pete buddha judge oligarch of our transportation system that is what every single republican. That voted for this. Just it and they should hear from you because it just getting warmed up on. Every night i have difficulty going to bed. So i started to take magnesium single night my wife and i take.

"I mean look. Both sides behave badly and it did start to some degree with the mutiny in tigray by but when we have a government that is allied with us that uses modern military equipment to To mow down civilians not justified other combatants to engage in a campaign of mass rape and then tried to starve large region into submission and then bring in the iranian forces from next door to add to that. Ben you know that is not an appropriate response. Is war crimes. It i think it reeks of genocide And there's simply no excuse for what the government is doing right now. And what can we expect while this election is going on any reduction in the government's Action against The the insurgents to prime minister keeps promising that the era trian forces will leave then that the conflict is almost over but there is no real sign of that. It's not clear if trae want to leave. And meanwhile you have this this mass starvation that seems to be getting worse. His are already dying and you know.

"Since barack obama and joe biden's proposals or even more popular than he is. David puff will join us next. Joe biden is the most popular president. Since barack obama. A gallup poll released today finds president biden. Were they fifty six percent approval rating the president. Who lived in the white house. Between barack obama and joe biden never got even as high as fifty percents in the approval rating president. Biden's ideas are even more popular than he is a monmouth university. Poll finds sixty eight percent of americans support. President biden's infrastructure plan. Sixty six percent of americans support the george floyd justice policing act. That has already been passed by the house. Representatives today democratic congresswoman karen. Bass and republican. Senator lindsey graham said that. They believe a bipartisan agreement. On the framework of a police reform bill that would need sixty votes in the senate could be reached by the end of the week. Steve shetty is a counselor to the president who has decades of experience in the white house. Negotiations with the senate beginning in the clinton white house followed by the obama white house today. Steve shetty met with a bipartisan group of senators that included eleven republicans who realize just how popular the biden infrastructure plan is. Those senators are developing a compromise version of the infrastructure. Bill that could clear the sixty vote threshold in the senate. The white house has former senators serving as president vice president two of the most experienced senate strategist but any white house has ever had in steve shoddy and white house chief of staff run but the senate remains the biggest roadblock to the biden agenda joining us. Now someone who was on the inside of the obama white house legislative battles had plugged former campaign manager and white house senior advisor to president. Barack obama he is an msnbc political analyst and david of from year-olds spot in the white house watching what happened in the senate today. What happens next and do you fear because you have a good feel for voters reaction to this stuff. Do you fear democratic voters in patients with this process that is going on in the senate which is clearly some sort of performance. Art for joe mansion and senator cinema to prove to them that the republicans really are what they say they are. Well maybe large. She does very well so this is just what it is now.

"Now with the last word with lawrence. O'donnell arts new rachel and you know. It's election night in america just new york city because steve kornacki is going to be here this hour or i'm going to get to see him again. Haven't seen him in a while. Let's go to be really fun. Also rachel leading off his senator. Jeff merkley who is the senate's leading expert on the so called filibuster rule which now becomes all the more important after. Today's vote excellent excellent. And i'm. I'm not sure that i've ever seen steve kornacki and his khakis at work on a ranked choice voting election. So i'm very much looking forward to seeing him to break this down. You know rachel. I started to write a script about the ranked choice thing. And i did a couple of two couple of shots out at night just went I'm leaving that to kornacki on just like not just going to be is just going to be an here steve. Kornacki go ahead and explain right choice. I'd just it's tough. I mean when it comes to what from the point of view of the voter. I've always thought that it should be called one. Two three voting in this case it would be one two three four five voting view. The voter you don't have to do anything that hard. You just have to rank your choices. The part that's hard to explain how it gets tabulated. The acuity kicked out choice moves up. Retaliated like the tab counting the vote. Part of it is hard to explain. What you do is a voter. Isn't that hard. I bet karnak. He can explain. It is exactly. It's the counting. Vote spot in the script where i just gave up and you can watch that on. Tv later in this hour. You'll see the moment where it just ranked choice. They get to choose their top by. And here's steve. It's gonna go just like that. So now he knows to be ready in the middle of your sentence. Thank you rachel thanks. Thank you what we saw in. The united states senate today was a show performed for two senators majority leader. Chuck schumer brought the voting rights. Bill called before the people to a vote in the senate just to show democratic senators. Joe manchin and kirsten cinema but bipartisanship is hopeless in the united states senate on voting rights and so much more. Joe manchin got an agreement with chuck schumer but the democrats would adopt the mansion compromise version of the bill and still joe. Manchin could not get a single republican to go along with that and so the republicans won today by preventing the bill from reaching the necessary. Sixty vote threshold to proceed. Senator mansion released this statement today saying quote unfortunately. My republican colleagues refused to allow debate on this legislation. Despite the reasonable changes made to focus the bill on the core issues facing our democracy. As i have said before the right to vote is a fundamental tomorrow. American democracy and protecting that right should not be about party or politics. Remain committed to finding a bipartisan pathway. Forward because the future of our democracy is worth it after the vote. Reporters asked joe mansion once again about the possibility of him. Supporting reform of the senate's so-called filibuster rule. We're not. I think you all know where i stand on the filibuster. Well no senator mansion. We do not in one of joe mansions first acts as a united states senator. He actually voted to eliminate what we saw today on january. Twenty seventh twenty eleven senator. Joe manchin voted in favor of a resolution which he co sponsored which he proudly men's said in a press release would quote have eliminated the filibuster on motions to proceed to a debate on the substance of the bill. The vote was forty. Four in favor and fifty one opposed. Joe mansion was one of the minority of senators ten years ago. Who was in favor of completely eliminating. These sixty vote threshold on motions to proceed to debate. Which is what the vote was about today. The vote wasn't about the bill today. It was just a vote about. Can we debate the bill. When joe manchin cast that vote ten years ago against the current senate rule. He explained his vote in a press. Release saying west virginians deserve a government that works for them and they are understandably frustrated with the way things get done or don't in washington and at the end of his first year in the united states senate on december thirteenth. Twenty eleven senator. Joe manchin cosponsored another bill to make another change. and the senate rules on the sixty vote threshold. Senator manchin said that that rule that rule change would quote fix the filibuster if senators want to halt action on a bill. They must take to the floor and hold it. True sustained debate and served mentioned repeated his objective quote to end filibusters on motions to proceed to debate ten years ago. Joe mansion could see what the clear is a new senator. Just how broken. The senate rules were and how they were being exploited and joe mansion recently said similar things in a private meeting comments that were leaked to the press and indicated that in fact you'll mansion is open to changing the sixty vote threshold rules. Joe mansion was right ten years ago. He was right ten years ago when he was the leader. The leader of a movement to change the senate rules. Joe manchin was right that we should never ever ever allow filibusters on the motion to proceed to have a debate. But now now that almost every single democratic senator agrees with joe mansion on that.
