Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite, gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. Todd Starnes.

All right. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
It is Open Line Friday, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is a great day for you. You get to call in, you can talk about, well, whatever is on your mind. You can ask me whatever you want to ask me, and we do that on Fridays. I want you to write down our telephone number. We'll be getting to your calls a little bit later on to show 901-260-5926.
Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926.
Coming up in just about a half an hour, our good buddy Steve Gill is going to be joining us to explain what happened yesterday in the state of Tennessee. What happened here is going to have national ramifications. And I just want to give you a heads up, a warning that it's not good. It's, we are, we're looking at a very demoralized Republican base right now. And that is starting to show up not only in all of the polling data, but now we're getting evidence, actual physical evidence of that by the elections yesterday. And it's not, I know a lot, the national media, they're focusing on the governor's race, and that's all well and good. I mean, Marsha Blackburn, she won, she was expected to win.
And again, you can't just gauge what happened yesterday in Tennessee on that. Andy Ogles lost the incumbent. He had the endorsement of the president. The moderate, the moderate Republican there, a guy by the name of Charlie Hatcher, had the endorsement of the governor, a former Tennessee ag commissioner. He ended up beating Ogles. This is a huge upset. And we're going to explain why that happened. There's a little bit more to it, and it had nothing to do with Donald Trump at all. It had everything to do with Andy Ogles just being a bad candidate. And sometimes that happens. A lot of these congressional races especially, they are local, local, local. And if you're not taking care of the local folk, then you're going to have a big problem on election. It doesn't matter who's endorsing you. So we're going to get into all of that.
From Knox County, Tennessee. Let me just explain what's happening here. This is Tennessee right now, is the frog in a lukewarm, lukewarm bowl of water, or a pot of water.
And we are slowly but surely starting to see many of these communities switch over from red to blue. Knoxville, Knox County, that happened last night. That was a huge, huge loss for Republicans. The county mayor in Chattanooga almost got beaten last night, a Republican, almost got beaten. But Knox County has gone from red to blue. So now you've got Nashville, which has gone blue. You've got Memphis, which has gone blue. And now Knoxville, which has now gone blue. So you're watching the rise of Democrats, and a lot of this is coming from people moving into the state of Tennessee from blue states, and they're bringing their politics with them. But as you're about to discover a little bit later on, we are watching a demoralized Republican party right now. And the base of the party is just really disgusted with the way things are going. As a matter of fact, President Trump recognizes this. I want to play this audio. The president is standing up with Jake Sherman over a punch bowl. And he said, hey, look, the Republicans, Republican voters are angry. Cut 41, please.

**Donald Trump** (4:09)
The question is, will they vote? Because a lot of them are very angry at Republicans, to be honest with you. Why is that? I don't know. I mean, they're angry at Republicans.

**Donald Trump** (4:20)
But they're not angry at me.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:22)
Why?

**Donald Trump** (4:22)
They're not angry at me, but they are angry at Republicans.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:25)
Everyone's always angry at Republicans.

**Donald Trump** (4:27)
There are some areas that are basically Democrat, but they're Trump, like Pennsylvania. I win Pennsylvania easily.
I win other places easily. Look, I won Michigan easily. I did well with Michigan. I did well with almost everything, to be honest. I did well with everything. But it's a good point, Mike. Now the question is...

**SPEAKER_5** (4:44)
Roger's lost when you were on the ballot.

**Donald Trump** (4:46)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:46)
And now he's up again.

**Donald Trump** (4:48)
Well, he lost when I'm on the ballot, and I won big in Michigan. But I happen to think he won.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:54)
Okay. Well, that's...

**Donald Trump** (4:55)
No, no, no. I think it was a rigged deal. I think they rigged him out of it. All right.
