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

Hello, everybody. Welcome. This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show. We are so happy that you're hanging out with us noon to three Eastern. Welcome to all of our viewers as well on Facebook, YouTube and Rumble. And of course, we have the largest growing number of Gen Zers now listening to talk radio. And we welcome all of you guys to some of them are probably just getting up. You know, it's summertime.
So folks enjoying a little time off from school and all of that, all of that good stuff. We have a terrific program lined up for you today. Of course, our one of our dear friends, she is the queen of talk radio. Mary Walter will be here. Also Michael Wilson from Patriot Talk 920 Gonna weigh in on James Tallarico. Oh, Tallarico. I told you know what?
Dylan, you know, I don't like to do this, but you know, because it comes across as braggadocious, and I don't want to be a braggadocious kind of a guy, but I told you so. You know, I try not to use that phrase too much, but I told you folks that James Tallarico was gonna have a problem with black Texas voters because of the religion thing. Now, most black Americans, while they may vote Democrat and they may embrace some liberal policies when it comes to their religion, when it comes to their church and almighty God, they're very conservative. I mean very conservative. And when you've got some sort of a limp-wristed white guy going out there and saying, Jesus supported abortion, oh, uh-uh. That, uh-uh. Homie don't play that game in the black church. I'm just telling you. And I did tell you. And so now James Tallarico has a huge problem with black voters. And the media is not going to tell you this. The media is going to say it's all sorts of other issues. But ladies and gentlemen, hear me on this. He's got a problem with the black church in the great state of Texas. Because they don't like this whole thing about Jesus was non-binary. No, they're not going down that road. So anyway, we'll talk to Michael Wilson about that. And in studio, the National Republican Congressional Committee has named Tennessee's ninth congressional district race as one of the big national races. They believe this is going to be a pickup for the Republicans in the fall. Jeremy Thompson, one of the four candidates running on the Republican side of the ticket there for the nomination. He's going to be joining us and you'll enjoy that conversation. We start, though, in the great state of Georgia.
There is a crazy, crazy controversy going on down there involving a restaurant called Toast on Lenox. Now, let me give you some background before we jump into this. You've got a pretty heated race for governor there. Rick Jackson is the Republican nominee. He's a guy, and his story is really fascinating. He is a multi-millionaire many, many times over, and he grew up in abject poverty. As a matter of fact, he grew up in the housing projects of Atlanta. So this guy knows what it's like to grow up and live in extreme poverty, overcoming those obstacles that were in his life early on, from a broken home, bounced around. And he became a very successful businessman. And now he is the Republican nominee for governor. So anyway, he stopped by this black-owned restaurant called Toast on Lenox and had a chance to meet the owner. The owner is, I don't even know the owner's politics, but they haven't endorsed Rick Jackson. She just happened to be the owner of the restaurant. And Rick Jackson came in for a visit, and they took a photograph together, and the owner posted it on her social media. As you would any person of note who would come into your restaurant. That's happened to me a couple of times in the Memphis area. That doesn't necessarily mean I support, well, I guess it does in my case, because I'm eating food there, so therefore I would endorse the restaurant. But in this particular case, the owner's not endorsing anything. She just was grateful to have a prominent person coming into her establishment. And so anyway, Democrats got wind of this, and they're literally trying to destroy this woman's business because she is a black woman and because she was kind and hospitable to a white Republican gubernatorial candidate.
It's beyond shocking the way that all of this is going down, and it's created a lot of controversy across the entire state of Georgia. This is going to be an ugly race. I am concerned, very concerned, that Keisha Lance Bottoms, who is the Democrat nominee, the former mayor of Atlanta, very concerned that she gets anywhere near the governor's office there in Atlanta.
