"Americans need to know we live in 1932 Germany, and we've often been asked, how would you behave if you lived in 1932 Germany? Every American now gets to answer that question, because those are the times that we live in." - Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) on The Todd Starnes Radio Show Podcast.

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

All right. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio program. Very happy to have you with us today.
And I know there's a little anxiety out there across the fruited plain, but I shall do my very best today, ladies and gentlemen, as we always do. We always bring our very best to you every day, from noon to 3 Eastern. I will do my best to allay whatever concerns you might have regarding what happened yesterday in New York City. Now, yesterday we had primaries across the nation. And if you were listening to the program yesterday, our chief political strategist, Josh Jones, he joins us every Tuesday and he lays out the big stories, what's happening in the world of politics. And if you were listening to Josh yesterday, you heard him say he predicted that the socialist would in fact sweep the elections yesterday in New York City. And that is exactly what happened. It was a devastating night for Democrats and it could be a devastating, it could be devastating for the rest of the country. I'll get to that in just a moment. But fortunately, we have a way out of all of this. So look, yesterday, Josh Jones comes on the show and he warns us that these Zoran Mandami-backed Democrats had a very good chance of sweeping the congressional primaries. And in fact, there were three races where Mandami had endorsed candidates. Two of those, you had far left Democrats who were incumbents.
And the far left Democrat incumbents in Congress were actually booted by people even further to the left.
Now, you really have to go all the way back to the days of Barack Hussein Obama. And we'll do a deep dive on that. We'll do that later on this summer. But it was there that Obama promised to fundamentally transform America. And a lot of people at the time, I remember I was actually there when he uttered those words. I was covering Obama for Fox News as a reporter at the time. And Obama promised to fundamentally transform America. And a lot of people didn't understand. They thought, well, you know, that's just a pithy little campaign slogan. But it really was not a pithy campaign slogan. You see, Barack Obama grew up with his father, who happened to be from Kenya, and his father was an anti-colonialist. His father loathed the British. And his father, you have to imagine, filled his son, Little Barack, Lil Barack as we call him, or Little Barry, filled him with all sorts of anti-American, anti-colonialism notions.
So I do not doubt that that happened. And so now you fast forward. Obama is radicalized in our nation's education system, goes to Columbia University, allegedly. Nobody ever remembered seeing him, by the way. Do you remember those stories? Nobody remembered going to class with Barack Hussein Obama. It's very odd. But anyway, went there, got radicalized, became a community organizer, which is basically a more, I don't know, a more formal way of saying he was Antifa-esque, if you will. The guy was a rabble rouser. I mean, that was his job. And then Obama becomes a senator, and then he goes on to become President of the United States. You know that.
So when you take a look at Obama, and again, the way he was advertised is not the Barack Hussein Obama that we got. We got some sort of a guy we thought we were getting, some guy that was going to usher in the post-racial America, and it was going to be all, I know, tulips and daffodils and daisies. And it turned out not to be. It turned out to be hell on earth. And the president really destroyed, or at least trying to destroy the country. I think what he did was he weakened the pillars of America, the foundation of America.
And so over the course of Barack Hussein Obama's presidency, public schools embraced things like critical race theory and all these other kinds of things. And as a result of that, as a result of that, well, you got an entire generation of millennial lawmakers who bought into Obama's fundamental transformation. And now those people are coming of age and they're being elected to Congress. And I warned you when AOC was elected, I said, if you think she's crazy, you wait and see what's coming up after her. Well, I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line and say hello to our good friend from the great state of Florida, Congressman Randy Fine. Congressman, good to have you with us today. And first of all, I just have to tell you, I love having you on because you speak your mind and I know our audience greatly appreciates that.
