Check, but it's not Todd Starnes, folks. You got me, your liberty-loving Latino, Chris Salcedo. Glad you've tuned in to Todd Starnes Show. Honored to be visiting with this audience. As every once in a while, I get to sit down with you guys and have this discussion. For those of you who have lost track since I walked away from network cable television, I'm with an outfit now called Torch Audio, folks, being put on by Glenn Beck. You're going to be hearing a lot more about that in the radio industry. You can go to chrissalcedo.com. You can still see me on camera, by the way. We do a simulcast of the radio show on cam, as they say, in the business. So you guys can catch me across streaming platforms, Rumble, and then, of course, on X and Getter. Am I missing anything? Yeah, I think that pretty much has it covered. So today on the program, Mary Walter will be visiting, and I'm going to be teeing up a conversation with Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton, who is running for Senate in Texas. And folks, I'm going to be addressing this throughout the program, but have you heard of the individuals who are going to be staying home?

These are Republican voters who looked at what John Thune did, who looked at what these 22 fake Republicans did and said, I'm staying home, I'm going to punish the Republicans for ignoring me, for serving socialists and not teeing up and getting past the Save America Act, which they were capable of doing, but chose to prioritize but hurt Democrats and socialists over their own voters. And to punish the Republicans, the Republican voters, some of them, are saying, to punish the Republican party, we are not going to show up and vote for them, because that will punish them. Now, there's a problem with that logic, folks. And I might as well just give up the ghost right now. Maybe you guys want to call in on this. Telephone number is 901-260-5926.

901-260-5926. If you want to call in, here's the dirty little secret. This is exactly what John Thune and the fake Republicans want you to do. They have undergone this dispiriting campaign for the last, well, over a year and a half now. They delivered on the big beautiful bill, which was a massive pork giveaway to all their Democrats, Socialist friends. And yes, they had to, because they couldn't get away with it, they had to give President Trump his wish list, and they used him to sell it. And the Republicans ended up spending, overspending even more than Socialist Democrats did in service to Socialists. But that was supposed to be the only victory. And by the way, it has been the only victory.

So after that, the run out the clock strategy began, being run by John Thune and by the fake Republicans in the United States Senate. And the idea was to get Republican voters so disgusted with the Republican Party, mostly in the House, because they stand for election every two years, right? To wipe out the majority in the House and to give breathing room, and maybe even hand over the entire Senate to the Socialists to stop Trump. Look, Thune and Elizabeth Warren, thick as thieves. You've got these Republicans who are in it for the Socialists and for the Communists, again, because there's a lot more money to be made in government when you do things that way. And I've got some examples to tell you, but for those of you who think, by not showing up, you're going to punish Thune, you're going to punish Tom Tillis and Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn and Karl Rove and Hugh Hewitt, but you're going to punish these Brian Killmead, these never Trumpers, these moderate squishes. No, folks, this is what they've been working toward. You are falling into the trap they've laid for you. You will be doing exactly what they want you to do. Turn over this country to communists and socialists so you lose power. The America First Coalition goes away and we lose the greatest chance since Reagan to do some real and transformative things to preserve this last best hope of mankind on planet Earth. That's the game. And I hope you wake up and you're hip to it. So, what are you going to do? What you have to do is elect every Republican, fake Republicans and real Republicans alike. We will have no chance to get back on the right track if socialists and Marxists have a majority anywhere in this government. These anti-American kooks, freaks, and nuts. And that's what they are. I'll explain throughout the course of the program, but if you're one of these Republicans who says, I'm going to stay home, and I'm not going to vote because I'm going to punish the Republicans, I want to hear what your rationale is about all this. Convince me. Convince me I'm wrong. Tell me how turning over the country to socialists and Marxists will do anything but punish you and your family. Because I can guarantee you, John Foone's family is going to be A-OK. And I can guarantee you that even when he's on the outs, Bill Cassidy, even when he's on the outs, John Cornyn, even when he's gone, Tom Tillis, they're going to be A-OK. Because their good Democrat friends are going to make sure they get taken care of with your money, with taxpayers' dollars. That's the game, folks. I want to stop this merry-go-round. I want to get off. I want to stop this riot. I want to get off. I want to get back to being America, don't you? Don't you?
