Broadcasting Coast to Coast and Border to Border from Memphis, Tennessee. Todd Starnes.

Oh, yeah. Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
Great to have you with us today. And wow, ladies and gentlemen, I, what was it? Two weeks ago, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, it may have been three weeks ago. We had Harry Hurley and Steve Gill on the show, and I decided to throw out a little thought, and really a conspiracy theory. At the time, I guess it was a conspiracy theory. I was just, I've been trying to put all the puzzle pieces together, and I sort of, I know you guys, you have full lives. You have things that you do other than just politics, but yours truly, this is what I do. I live and breathe and eat politics and the culture, and we try to stay on top of all of the things that are happening in the world, so that every day when you tune in for this three hour conversation, that you come away with a little bit of knowledge and some understanding and maybe an idea of what's really going on behind the scenes. And I believe I have talked to enough people now to confirm something I shared on air, and really I posited a theory to Harry Hurley and Steve Gill on this program. And I now believe that theory to be reality. And if you go back into the Todd Starnes Showtime machine, here's what I said. I suggested that there was an effort to actually sabotage the midterm elections, but Republicans really were not interested in actually winning the midterm elections.
And I think now we've got the evidence we need. So yesterday and the day before that, and I guess we should probably start with Senator John Kennedy, but a lot of this centers on what's happening right now in Texas and also in Georgia. And there may be a Tennessee angle to all of this as well. And I'll get to that. But definitely Texas. And this is a major, major issue.
The US. Senate race, Ken Paxton, James Telefreaco. And a lot of the polling data out there seems to indicate that Telefreaco is surging and is somehow connecting with voters. Now, you can believe the polls, you cannot believe the polls. That's up to you. But what we can talk about are the fundraising numbers. And that is something that is concrete, something we can actually look at and we can analyze and say, OK, this is how much money the candidates have. And right now, Telefreaco is getting a lot of money, a lot more than Ken Paxton. Now, yesterday, you had Majority Leader John Thune. He was doing Fox News. That's really the only news outlet that Thune will go on because they will not ask him tough questions. They just will not. And that's a conversation for another day, but that's the reality of it. So John Thune is out there and he's saying, well, we just don't have any money. We don't have any money to help. We don't have any money at all to help Ken Paxton. And John Thune is now dumping all of this in Trump's lap and saying, Mr. President, you're going to have to, if you want, if you want Ken Paxton to win the Senate in Texas, you're going to have to throw in some money here because we got no money. Well, that's a load of, I almost had to, oh my goodness. That is a load of hooey, ladies and gentlemen, a load of grade A hooey.
Because we know that the Senate Republicans spent over a hundred million dollars defending John Cornyn in the primary, the primary where one John Cornyn got his buttocks handed to him in a sling.
No, not literally, Dillon, but it's figuratively, it's theater of the mind radio. So they spent a hundred million dollars trying to destroy Kim Paxton, and you're telling me now they got no money? They got no money left?
That's the argument that they are literally trying to make. As a matter of fact, here is John Kennedy, Senator John Kennedy, cut 27

**SPEAKER_3** (5:13)
It didn't sound from his answer that the president made any commitments, either himself or through his super PAC, to write checks for Paxton, at least right now. Does Senate Leadership Fund or NIRSC have any plans for TV ads, you know, to support him, because he's down in spending there?

**John Kennedy** (5:32)
Well, I listened to your interview, it was very good, by the way, with the Attorney General. Look, there's no sense bubble wrapping it. We've got a race in Texas.
