Obama Death Star Opens for Business

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

Well, hello, everybody, happy day to you. Oh, it's Thursday. I was sick. Man, it's been one of those, have you ever, I don't know, I went through one of those weeks, it just seems to go on and on and on and on and on. Yeah, this is one of those weeks. And so anyway, happy Thursday to you. I sort of lost track of the days, hoping and praying we get to the weekend. We have got a lot going on today. Of course, the Barack Hussein Obama Death Star opens to the public today, and we're monitoring all of those developments. Interesting stories that are percolating about the Obama Death Star. We're going to get to that. This situation with Iran, and we're going to open up the phone lines today. That's...
Look, I'm going to share with you what yours truly has had to go through over the past 48-72 hours. Because it's ugly out there. It is ugly out there, ladies and gentlemen. Ugly. U-L-G-Y ain't got no alibi. Ugly out there in the world of politics. So I'm going to...
And that's where we're going to start.
This is not a pity party. Dylan, it is not a pity party. But I think people need to understand what it's like when we're not on the air here and the sorts of things that we hear and the people that reach out to us, right? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, I don't think.

**Dylan** (2:00)
I wouldn't say so.

**Todd Starnes** (2:01)
Cheaper than therapy.

**Dylan** (2:02)
Very, very much free.

**Todd Starnes** (2:04)
Well, exactly, it's free. That's the operative word. So look, here's the bottom line. There are so many people talking about the memorandum of understanding. They call it the moo or the mal. I call it the memorandum of understanding because the other two things are weird. Now, you've got, there are two very clear, there are very distinct sides here. And these two sides, by the way, are really for Republicans, right? So you've got one batch of Republicans that wants to bomb the living daylights out of Iran. And you've got the other side that says, we shouldn't have been over there in the first place. So we got to get out of there. We've got to get out, declare victory, let's get back to life as we know it because attacking Iran is not an America first position. So those are the two very distinct camps, all right? By the way, within that cluster, you've got, and trust me, it is a cluster. Within those clusters, you've got the pro-Israel crowd and you've got the anti-Israel crowd. And you can call them what you want, anti-Semites, Jew haters, whatever. But you've got those folks involved.
And so, then you've got folks like yours truly. And I sort of see everybody's side on this. However, my position has been and always will be that we should have gone in and obliterated Iran in the first place. Now, my philosophy, my overarching philosophy in life when it comes to Donald J. Trump is, the man has never ever let me down. Has he let you down, ladies and gentlemen? Has he done something that you were just horrified by? Because he hasn't done that, at least not in my estimation. As a matter of fact, Donald Trump's been the only politician in my lifetime who actually delivered on all of his campaign promises. Some of you are saying, well, what about the war? I'm going to get to that. Just hang tight for a second.
But Donald Trump has never let me down. He's never lied to me. He's always been honest. I may not have agreed with him on some issues, but overwhelmingly I have, more so than any other president.
Me, I'm willing to give the president the benefit of the doubt. Before we go any further, I want you to hear this. This is very important because you've got everybody out there. Everybody's talking about it. The sources are telling you Fox News, a senior White House official read the memorandum, verbatim to Newsmax. The New York Times says, forget all of that. Just forget all of it. Until we actually see the memorandum on the White House website or Donald J. Trump's Truth Social account, I'm not believing it. I'm not believing anything.
So the other day, I posted a link to a Newsmax story. It was literally on the Newsmax website. The allegation is that the Iranians are going to get $300 billion. So basically, it's another pallet of cash, sort of a deal like Barack Hussein Obama. But that's not what it is. I mean, at the end of the day, we're not giving them all that cash. Or we may. I don't know because nobody knows. Nobody knows. The Trump administration, they say that they are the most transparent in history and they are to some extent. However, they have not released the Memorandum of Understanding. Therefore, none of us, none of us know what the deal is. You say, Todd, is that a problem? Yes, it's a problem. But I'm just telling you, all you folks getting riled up out there about what we are or are not going to give the Iranians, there's no reason to right now because nothing is official. And hear me on this. Every single thing that's in the memorandum, that's been reported, that all may be true. But right now, it's unverified conjecture. And that concerns me. We were having a stamp meeting about this for the Newsmax show today. And the first question I asked is, have we received confirmation from the White House? Have we received from the White House the official memorandum of understanding? And no, the answer is no, we haven't.
