Todd Starnes (0:26)

You know, I feel like I ought to reintroduce myself. Hello, everybody. This is Todd Starnes. And it is really, really great to be back behind the microphone.

Great to have all of you with us, Border to Border, Coast to Coast, across the fruited plain. And wow, we've got, I've got a lot to say. I, you know, I don't like taking off time from the show. I do enjoy, you know, whenever I'm away from the microphone, I enjoy where I'm at and what I'm doing. And we had a wonderful time in California. I was there for 10 days as I went to a conference. And I was one of the speakers at the conference, the Spiritual Leadership Conference, which is brought to, which is a sponsor by Lancaster Baptist Church and West Coast Baptist College. Had a wonderful time there. And we'll tell you about some of those adventures throughout the week.

Then, traveling to Northern California and had a chance to speak to some wonderful folks at a terrific church there in the San Francisco area, Heritage Baptist Church. And it is all that to say, it is great to great to be back with you.

And I will tell you, you know, it's one of those trips where it is sort of relaxing, but you are working around the clock and we signed a lot of books and met a lot of great, a lot of our great listeners, and including some of the guys that are regulars on the show, they were at the conference, our good buddy, General John Tykert, and Chad Conley, Adam Morgan, the list good Dr. Paul Chappell. So it is, it was great to see all of those guys in person, but I got to tell you, Dylan, I was kind of missing you guys back here at the ranch.

Dylan (2:14)

Aw, that's sweet Todd.

Todd Starnes (2:17)

I brought you back treats, by the way. This, it was like an exotic, we're going to get the name of the candy company, but it's like an exotic candy company. And one of the people, I guess, who owns the candy company or does something with the candy company, they were at the church Sunday, and they sent us back, they sent me back to Memphis with this massive box of like very unusual exotic chocolates that you guys have already consumed.

Dylan (2:44)

Yeah, they're almost gone actually.

They're very good. I've honestly never had chocolates that taste like this before. It's like, what do you put in this? It tastes expensive.

SPEAKER_5 (2:54)

You don't want to know.

Todd Starnes (2:55)

You really don't want to know. You just eat it and enjoy the taste.

SPEAKER_5 (2:58)

Sure, sure.

Todd Starnes (2:58)

I think that's how that works.

Dylan (3:00)

I feel like you also brought the weather because it's like 71 outside. That's never been heard of before in Memphis. Thank you, Todd.

Todd Starnes (3:06)

Well, hey, happy to do that. But in San Francisco, which is always cold and sort of rainy and foggy, 97 degrees. Wow. They had a heat wave.

Dylan (3:16)

That's unfortunate.

Todd Starnes (3:17)

And a lot of those people don't do air conditioning. I don't know how they live. I really don't. I have a lot to say about my observations of California life, and hopefully, hopefully, the good people of California are going to wake up and elect Steve Hilton as their governor. They got to do something. It's insane out there. Just insane.

All right. We have a lot to talk about. We have some great guests coming up. Our good buddy Josh Jones is going to be along here in a very important conversation as we're really heading into the home stretch here, midterm elections. And I was flying back to Memphis, and there were, we have a huge, the House Ways and Means Committee is having a big field hearing in the Memphis area. So Congress, well, we have like, I don't know, almost a dozen members of Congress that are here in the area. And I was talking to one of the congressmen. We were flying in together, our good buddy congressman, Ron Estes, out of Wichita. And he's pretty hopeful for his race. But in California, I was talking to a couple of lawmakers. And they are really concerned, and these are individuals coming from Republican strongholds. And they feel like that the Republican vote has been demoralized and depressed. Now, this morning, I was on Newsmax, and they asked me about about Talafrico and Ken Paxton and all the stuff surrounding Ken Paxton. What did I tell you? Before I left, two weeks ago, before I left for California, I told you, be very careful about what you hear over the next three to four weeks. And the reason why is, there's gonna be a lot of disinformation. The polling data is all going to skew to the Democrats. And they want you, the Republican voters, to be so dejected that you will not go and vote on election day. And we just cannot allow that to happen. Now, let me just caveat all of this. This is all contingent upon you getting out and voting. And if you don't, then the communists are gonna win. And this is, I'm feeling very confident about our chances in the midterms. But I'm telling you, I am in the minority. And I have spoken in the past two weeks, I've spoken to about a half a dozen members of Congress who are Republican. And every single one of them is really, really concerned about the midterms. And I'm curious, what about you? What's your feel? What's your gut telling you about the midterms? We're going to be taking your calls today, 901-260-5926.
