SPEAKER_1 (0:10)
From Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, it's America's conservative blowtorch. Todd Starnes.
Todd Starnes (0:28)
All right, well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show, proudly broadcasting Border to Border, Coast to Coast, Across the Fruited Plain. We have a, we really have an epic show coming up for you. Congressman Jim Jordan is going to be here in just a matter of moments, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Also, Chad Conley from Faith Wins is going to be along to talk about the very latest numbers as we march toward the midterms. So a lot happening in the, well, throughout the entire show, but that just gives you a taste of what you can expect here in the next little while. Also Senator Marsha Blackburn is going to drop by. She's running for Governor in Tennessee.
So we're going to get to the Kimberly Guilfoyle story in just a little while. There is a lot of controversy. And the question now is, can Kimberly Guilfoyle survive the allegations in this Wall Street Journal report? Really a jaw-dropping blockbuster report regarding her credit card bills and how she was using her position within Trump world to get a lot of favors. So we'll touch base on that. Secretary of State Marco Rubio asked about that just a little while ago on his trip in Greece. I want to start out, though, with an interesting comment from Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina. And he is now on the record.
He's got a new book out. He's doing the book tour. And he is basically waging war on President Magna on the America First Movement. Here is Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina just last night on the channel. Cut number 23, please.
Tom Tillis (2:28)
the bad advice of people who masked the fact that President Biden was not prepared to serve a second term.
JD Vance (2:33)
If you were advising Mitch McConnell, would you tell him, I would recommend you step down, sir. You're close to him. You could tell him that. You're the one who gets to give him advice in this equation.
Tom Tillis (2:40)
Mitch McConnell is retiring this year. I ran in to Mitch. The difference between the Biden situation and the Mitch situation is I've had conversations with Mitch. That man's brain is as sharp as it ever is. His body's failing him because he's had a lifelong struggle with polio. Now, people are telling me, when I can have a coherent discussion with him, I met with him a week or so, a couple of weeks ago.
Mitch, how are you doing? He spent probably less than 30 seconds talking about that, and he immediately jumped to what are we going to do to help Ukraine? What are we going to do to save the Senate and keep the filibuster? Does that sound like a man who's not prepared to actually finish out his term?
SPEAKER_5 (3:15)
If you would share with him, he'd welcome you to have that conversation.
Tom Tillis (3:17)
The flip side of it was, we had people rash like, no, nothing to see here. President Biden's fine. Whoopsie, we're going to have a different president.
Todd Starnes (3:24)
So there you have it. Tillis all but confirming that the establishment wing of the party is blocking President Trump's agenda. Also, does anybody really believe that Mitch McConnell is of sound mind?
Does anybody really believe that? By the way, we still have not heard publicly from Mitch McConnell.
The guy's out there and they're wheeling him out. He's got this weird little grin on his face. He looks like he's frozen. And every time somebody asks him a question, it's like, ah, ah, ah. What does that mean? What's going on there? The front porch light is on, ladies and gentlemen, but nobody's home. Nobody's home. So then you've got Tillis, and he is, he's all but saying that he will do everything in his power to stop MAGA from ever getting a presidential nomination again. This is Tom Tillis on 60 Minutes, cut 19
SPEAKER_6 (4:30)
After a tough 2026, it'll be 2028
Todd Starnes (4:34)
It'll be a presidential cycle.
JD Vance (4:36)
What is the battle over the future of your party look like then?
Tom Tillis (4:39)
You know, we're going to have this situation where the president's going to have a heavy influence on the primary. And boy, this is when we really have to speak frankly about what kind of profile we need to win a national election in 2028
And it probably isn't what the president is thinking right now as a go-to pick. So we're going to have to have a serious discussion with that. The RNC, other Republican organizations, need to come down and take the president's advice, but look more towards the Republican Party priorities and things that go beyond 2028
