Hello, fellow patriots. Jeff Stein filling in for Todd Starnes today on this Tuesday edition of The Fun Fest. Coast to Coast across the great United States of America. Thanks so much for being along. I'm coming to you from the Liberty University Studio at my home base, News Talk 1540 KXEL in the heartland of Iowa. Mr. Starnes is gonna have a great time later today in H-Town, Houston, Texas. He is going to be the special guest at the 2A Tuesday event at Collector's Firearms there. And you may have heard him talk about this. I've seen the postings on the social media, and I am jealous as all get out. If you go to patriottalk920.com, that is the tremendous Starnes affiliate in Houston, patriottalk920.com. So patriottalk920.com has a series of events called 2A Tuesdays. It is at a place called Collector's Firearms, which looks like a fantastic operation on Westheimer Road there in Houston. And if you go out there, and there's plenty of time for you to get in the car and get there, they'll do the live broadcast, four o'clock local time, and then it's the normal 2A Tuesday social with free food and drinks, and one lucky attendee will win a firearm. And you got Todd Starnes there as well. You can pick up a copy of his excellent new book, The Golden Age. This thing's been out for several weeks, but it's still in the top 10 in various categories of Amazon. And you've seen Todd on the TV box talking about it in all places, C-SPAN and some of these other spots. But if you are anywhere near Houston, you have got to get, to Collector's Firearms this afternoon. Four until seven is the event. There's the broadcast, there's the book signing, free food and drink, and someone's walking away with a Walther 9mm. That's part of their 2A Tuesdays program. Wow, what a great idea. This is giving radio stations across the country. Nice job, Patriot Talk 920 in Houston. So that is why Todd is away today, and he'll be away tomorrow, and the team has been kind enough to invite me to sit behind the microphone while he is in Houston.
901-260-5926, same number as always. Dylan, we've got time for your calls throughout this hour. A few guests sprinkled throughout the program as well. Coming up in the second hour of the program, an hour from now, we're going to be speaking with Mark Meckler of Convention of States Action. We're going to be talking about the atrocities overseas and how that's not just overseas, the infiltration. And you heard Todd talk about this yesterday. The infiltration is right here in our backyard. Mark Meckler of Convention of States Action, one hour away. Also in the second hour of the program, the chief political strategist of this fine radio effort, Josh Jones, stops by to talk about news of the day. And Newsmax contributor and host Mary Walter is along in hour number three. But again, your calls throughout at 901-260-5926.
I am struck by, and here we are just two weeks away, two weeks away from election day. And I'm struck by the silly season, as they often say. It gets to be the silly season when you're this close to an election. The silly part of what I'm about to tell you is how Democrats are acting as if their time in office never happened and that nobody would look back at it. Now, it is true. We live, unfortunately, in my view, we live in a what have you done for me lately society. We don't like to look back. We say, ah, that's just, that's history. That's old. That doesn't matter anymore. The Democrats would hope that you don't remember how things were when they were in charge. Because if you think, wow, things are kind of turbulent with Trump. He keeps it stirred up and boy, sure don't like paying $70 to fill up my tank with gas. And so you might be in a weak moment susceptible to hear their little charms, their little attempts. Well, I'm here to make sure we keep you on the straight and narrow. Because some of these folks who act like their hands were clean and they were innocent as all get out, they're the ones who have done the worst things. You know, there's a saying that the thing that you complain about the most about others, you're actually doing yourself. And that is certainly the case with Democrats. And I've got a variety of things that I'll mention as we go through this Tuesday edition of the program. But let's start. Let's start with Barack Hussein Obama. Now I don't like to. I would like to forget the eight years where he tried to fundamentally change America. And let's start with that, folks. When Barack Obama ran, he said he would fundamentally change America. And then proceeded to try. Luckily, the American people figured it out. But still, that was his goal. No different than the socialists running today. Well, now it's near election time, and Barack Hussein, you can call him Barry Obama, has resurfaced. And the last time I think I was here, we talked about him going on the campaign trail for various candidates up in Michigan and other places. So Barry Obama posted on the Twitter X machine the other day. I mean, paragraphs of righteous indignation about the Justice Department, law enforcement in this country, investigating Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Now, forget for the moment that these same folks who were wringing their hands and clutching at their pearls and waving themselves with fans because they had the vapors, these same folks who are doing all of that now, they were very quiet.
