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

Well, happy Friday, everybody. Wow, this is the Todd Starnes Radio Show. Great to have you with us, broadcasting border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. Thank you for joining us, everybody. It has been a jam-packed week here on the show.
A lot of guests. It was really a cavalcade of stars wandering through the studio this week. And today, Friday, it is Open Line Friday, which is the one day out of the week that you get to call in and you can talk about whatever is on your mind. However, you get to steer the conversation today on the Todd Starnes Radio Program. I want you to write down our telephone number. You will need it if you plan on calling in. Our number, 901-260-5926.
Again, that's 901-260-5926.
And of course, also want to welcome all of the folks watching the Todd Starnes Radio Show on our Facebook channel, Rumble channel, and of course, our YouTube channel. And we'll be dipping in during the commercial breaks to some of those, to some of those platforms and conversing with many of you there. Well, a lot happening, ladies and gentlemen, across the country, we are really around the world. We understand now that the vice president, we got this word late yesterday, the vice president is not going to Switzerland after all, which there was, it's a mess. It's a great big mess right now. And I truly believe that the president is going to get this under control. We really have no other choice about the matter. But again, JD Vance will not be going to Switzerland. The president is going to Camp David, which he has not done. I mean, this is, it's a very rare thing for the president to spend the weekend at Camp David. But the president will be at Camp David this weekend. So we're going to keep you updated on this. Israel and Lebanon have been going at it, Hezbollah firing rockets. We understand there may be some sort of a ceasefire on that side of it. But the one thing that we've got to get a handle on is this idea that you have to have complete allegiance now. So it doesn't matter what side of the, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, both parties now are demanding full and complete allegiance. And if you cannot affirm every single thing that your guy or gal does, then that makes you the enemy. And that's what's going on right now in Trump world. Is that anybody who may have an issue with the way this has all been handled, then all of a sudden that makes you an enemy of the president. And I just, I completely reject that premise. The other side of it is, well, if you have a problem with Israel, not listening to President Trump, well, that makes you a Jew hater. Well, no, it does not. I reject that premise as well. So we've got to get a handle on all of this stuff. It is just simply out of control.
901-260-5926, our telephone number, write it down. That's 901-260-5926.
And as promised, we are going right to the phones on this Open Line Friday. Let's say hello to Johnny, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920 in Houston, Texas. Johnny, what's on your mind today?
**SPEAKER_4** (4:10)
Well, thanks, Todd, for taking my call. I wanted to talk to you about the Iran situation. I believe I'm probably in the minority of conservatives, on my opinion of that situation. But I think the president blew it, in that he told the Persians help was on its way, and they never came. The help never showed up. And 45,000 to 75,000, depending on who you want to believe, Persians were murdered, because they thought America was going to back them.
Then I think he blew it a second time, on that memorandum of understanding. If the final deal reflects anything, in that memorandum, it's going to be us saying, Trump funded Iran, not Obama. And then there could possibly be another 100,000, and I'm just guessing there, Persians killed after the treaty or deal is struck, because there will be nothing restraining Iran. And I am highly concerned about what it's going to do to us in midterm. We already have Republicans predicting we're losing the House.
And the way this thing is going...
**Todd Starnes** (5:43)
Johnny, what do you want the president to do? What would you prefer that the president do with Iran?
**SPEAKER_4** (5:50)
Well, I'd have preferred he never opened his mouth about it.
