ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes
September 14, 2026
It’s pretty clear that Sen. John Cornyn is using his power and influence and money to sabotage GOP races in Texas — including the U.S. Senate race. This is typical RINO behavior.

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

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Extravaganza, wherever you might be listening to us, Border to Border, Coast to Coast, across the Fruited Plain.
We have a lot of ground to cover today. By the way, Greg Bavino, the former border chief is going to be here. Also, Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee is going to drop by a little bit later on in the program. And we also have a very special guest from Heritage Foundation. There is a crazy story out on how soft on crime policies are actually bad for business. So we'll catch you up on all of that. Of course, a lot happening in the world of politics. And I want to start in the great state of Texas, where Senator John Cornyn is on the war path right now. And I warned you about this. Well, this was back when Cornyn lost the primary battle with Ken Paxton. And I told you, I said, be prepared for the RINOs to sabotage the midterm elections in Texas. And that is exactly what is happening. John Cornyn is off his rocker right now, posting a statement over on X, along with a link to a Wall Street Journal report about populist Republicans and Democrat Socialists. And Cornyn talking about all of you MAGA people and especially the vice president, JD. Vance, he said the extremes of both parties, Republicans MAGAwine, represented by JD. Vance, and the progressive left, represented by Zoran Mamdami, have drawn closer to each other. So John Cornyn is telling you that in his political mind, that demented, perverted mind of his, that JD. Vance is just like Zoran Mamdami, a man who, by the way, showed up at the 9-11 Memorial Service and chuckled and laughed and gaffawed while they were literally reading the names of Americans who had been killed by the Muslim terrorist. Laughed, caught up with AOC. And John Cornyn is saying, there's no difference, there's no daylight between Zoran Mamdami and JD. Vance, the vice president of the United States. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all you really need to know about John Cornyn, because in the final days of his failed campaign, this guy, John Cornyn, has suffered one of the worst political defeats in modern political history.
And the reason why is he was a rhino who was trying to portray himself as a MAGA guy. As a matter of fact, leading up to the election, John Cornyn was out there trying to convince people that there was nobody more MAGA than John Cornyn. And now he's saying that anybody who is MAGA is a far right-wing extremist.
Can't have it both ways, John Cornyn.
And I'm sure he'll have plenty to talk about and plenty to think about when he is spending the rest of his life in retirement because his political career is over. It's kaput. But then, over the weekend, there was another incident, and this one really set off a lot of folks, and it involves a fellow by the name of Beau French. He has been a guest on my program before many times. He's very involved in Republican politics, and he's running for state office there in Texas. And so over the weekend, there was the big Texas football game. There was Ohio State. Wow. Did you watch the game? Tell them that was an amazing game.
Dylan (4:36)
Oh, yeah. Great comeback from Texas.
Todd Starnes (4:38)
My word. How about the manning boy?
Dylan (4:41)
Looking pretty good.
Todd Starnes (4:42)
Arch?
Dylan (4:43)
Yeah, Arch Manning.
Todd Starnes (4:44)
Wow. Well done. Well, anyway, I digress. So Beau French was at the game. And so after they won, he decided to film the crowd. And he pointed out that most of the people in the crowd are Indians.
And John Cornyn went bonkers crazy. And he said, this is the Republican nominee for statewide office. And by the way, let me just write. I'm just going to read to you what Beau French wrote. So he takes a photo of the Indian people. And there are a lot of them. And he said, I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I did not believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined. That's what he wrote. Now, he could have maybe explained what the problem is. And I'm going to do that for him in just a matter of moments.
But Senator Cornyn writing, this is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republicans or Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism or look the other way while it becomes normalized? This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad. Well, first of all, what exactly is intolerant or racist about what Mr. French wrote?
