From the Principal Toyota Studios, it's Morning in Memphis with Todd Starnes.

All right, hello everybody. Good morning to you. I hope you're starting off your day here at the Mid-South, and it is a great one. The Heat Dome continues to cover the Mid-South, and Laura Huckabee will be along a little bit later on with your latest forecast. It's gonna be hot. And I really don't want to upset too many of you, but they're now predicting the first frost out at East Tennessee. So East Tennessee seems to be exempt from the Heat Dome. And so if you're heading this weekend anywhere east of Chattanooga, you're heading up to the northeastern part of the state, you might want to pack a jacket. I'm just saying it's hot. We've got a lot of crazy things happening right here in Memphis, by the way, one of the positive things is the Freddie the German. This is the guy, he and a couple of his pals, they came over for the World Cup, fell in love with America. They traveled all over and Freddie the German started posting about all of his adventures on Axe and became something of a celebrity. And was, I mean, people just rolled out the red carpet for this guy. And so he came back. So he's doing another tour of America. And he is in Memphis, Tennessee. I think he's heading down to Auburn. Why? I don't know. But don't tell Parker, may I said that? But anyway, they stayed over at the Southland Casino, the beautiful hotel over there in West Memphis. And now they're wandering around Memphis. And we need to provide them, Freddie the German, with a list of things to do and places that he needs to eat. So if you've got any recommendations for what Freddie the German needs to do here in Memphis, we want to make sure that he leaves with a positive, you know, a positive feeling as best you can, and perhaps maybe places that Freddie the German needs to avoid. We know that the guys listen to talk radio. So good morning, Freddie the German, if you're listening this morning, and welcome to the Bluff City. So if you've got some suggestions, give us a call this morning, and maybe Freddie is listening, and he may very well take you up on your recommendations.

901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926 if you've got some recommendations for Freddie the German. Always nice to see Memphis in the news. Well, look, there is a war brewing within the Democrat Party here in Memphis. And I know it's catching a lot of you fine folks off guard. People are like, what the heck is going on? Yesterday Mayor Paul Young posted something on his ex account. And we're going to read that to you in just a moment. But the mayor is, the mayor got set off by a lot of hate that's being spewed in his direction. And it seems as though the individual who really set off the mayor is a very well-known attorney here in the Mid-South by the name of Henry Reeves III. And Henry Reeves is leading the charge here and we'll read some of the comments that Reeves wrote, which are really profane and very racist. So here's, I want to cut to the chase here, and then we're going to play the audio, so you'll understand, you'll have the context that you need. But Mayor Young is facing all sorts of criticism. Now, first of all, you need to know that the post that is circulating on social media is in fact authentic. I actually reached out to sources within City Hall yesterday, and those sources confirm, and these are sources very close to the mayor, and those sources confirm the mayor wrote every single thing that he wrote, and we'll get to that in just a minute. But, and then I'm going to tell you, I'm going to speculate, but I have a theory about what's about to happen in the big mayor's race coming up. First of all, Reeves has been very upset at the mayor over a series of things, really fired up over the data centers, and Elon Musk, he doesn't like Elon Musk, and Reeves, who, by the way, has gotten himself into some trouble in the legal community, and we'll get to more of that in just a minute, but Reeves also very upset about the Memphis Safe Task Force, and the other day at City Hall, and this is adding to the controversy, and this part of it really doesn't have anything to do with Mayor Young, but I think it's just truly fascinating. They had a bunch of GOGs show up at the Memphis City Council meeting. We call those gals of girth. These are big old gals, and they've got nose rings.
