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

All right, so you guys, you guys did it again. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes radio program. Great to have you with us. We really do have the best. I'm not sure what happened to the music there. My apologies. Look, we really do have the best audience in all of Tonk Radio. I mean, it really is. You guys are just a tremendous audience. And whenever there is an issue or something of that nature, you always jump into action. And that's where I want to start off today. Yeah, yesterday we told you about a situation in, of all places, Tennessee, not too terribly far from where we broadcast our national radio program, involving a veterans home, a state veterans home. And we got some intel that this state veterans home, they were having some big problems. Over 100, I think around 140 elderly veterans live at this home. And the air conditioning had gone out. We're in the middle of a pretty nasty heat wave here. It's hotter than blue blazes. And the air conditioning had been out. Now, the state told us that the air had only been out for about 24 hours. That was about it. But we're getting, and we got intel from family members and even some staff members that the situation was a lot worse. As a matter of fact, the air conditioning had been out since Sunday, and nobody was doing anything about it. It was not a priority to make sure these men and women who wore the uniform of our nation were able to, you know, spend their final days in peace and comfort.
And instead, many of them were literally sweltering in their beds. We got reports that it was so bad, it was so bad, that they were having to change the sheets and the bedding because of the water, of just the sweat and the humidity. So anyway, as soon as we found out about it, I immediately reached out to Congressman David Kostoff, who represents that particular area in Congress, and I said, Congressman, here's the intel we're getting. Can you help these people out? And really within 10 minutes, the congressman had activated his Rolodex. He was reaching out to state lawmakers, emergency management officials, the county mayor. I mean, he was reaching out to everybody and got a text message back from the congressman saying, we are on top of this, and we're gonna take care of this. And then a couple of hours later, got a message saying that the air conditioning had been repaired and that AC had been restored. Now, we do a lot on this program. We take lawmakers to task all the time on this radio program, and all of it is well deserved. We don't target anybody who doesn't deserve to be targeted. And we only want these lawmakers that are, we want them to do what they promised they were gonna do when they were out on the campaign trail. Now, I wanna tell you about congressman David Costol for a minute, a man who I consider to be a friend, and also he happens to be my congressman. He represents the district that I live in. And you see him on TV every now and again. He's not an Andy Ogles guy, he's not a Jim Jordan kind of a guy, he's just, he's not, you know, he's not bombastic, he's a workhorse. And this guy is back in the district every single weekend, and it is a massive, I think it's 16 counties, a massive district. And he's out there, and he's going to the festivals, holding the town halls, helping to welcome new businesses, and when necessary, make sure that our veterans have working air conditioning.
So I think it, again, it says a lot about this guy, Congressman David Kostov, that he would stop whatever he was doing and immediately take care of his constituents. I respect that. There are a lot of people up on Capitol Hill, you call their office, guess what? You're going to get a voicemail. You're not even going to talk to a human being. So, Congressman, thank you so very much for living up to your campaign promises and being out there. And he's one of the good guys, and he's one of the guys that just works. I'll tell you another guy, Congressman Ron Estes out of Kansas represents the Wichita area. Same sort of a mindset. You're just a hardworking person. You went to Congress to take care of your people back in your home state, your home district. And I just have great respect for that. So anyway, people were throwing accolades our way. No, we just made calls and we broadcast, but all that to say, and here's where you guys come into this. You guys picked up the phones, and I mean, you helped make a difference, letting people know what was going on. So I just can't thank you enough. And we certainly are appreciative of the work of the local lawmakers as well. Our good buddy from Jackson, Tennessee, Frankie Lacks, who alerted us to all of this. And we're just happy to do our part, which is telling you guys about it. And then you guys, you took on the charge. So all that to say, well done. Welcome to the program. We've got a jam-packed show for you today, ladies and gentlemen. Of course, following these developments over in Iran, Carl Higby at Newsmax really cut to the chase and said what I think many people are wondering, why don't we just go ahead and nuke Iran? I mean, what are we waiting on here? Well, that's, I don't think we're going to nuke Iran. I don't know.
