“The View” Co-Host Says American Flag Makes Her Unsafe

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

You know what really gets me here, ladies and gentlemen? By the way, welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show. Happy to have you with us today. A lot, a lot going on, folks, in the country. And President Trump is giving, well, he's tearing NATO a new one, and we'll get to that. We got a lot of stuff to talk about today. So the president doing a great job watching out for us. Wow.
What can I say about the US men's soccer team?
Has the president authorized an airstrike on Belgium yet? Do we know? All right, we're working that info. Also, a terrible story about Senator Mitch McConnell. Laura Loomer yesterday reporting that McConnell is brain dead and is, well, not expected to come back to the Senate. That's in spite of being brain dead, but I mean, terrible story. And we certainly want to pray for the McConnell family, but may I just say something here?
I think this is what really bothers a lot of folks when it comes to politics in general, because both parties do the same thing. They always play the same games. And the Democrats did it with Dianne Feinstein. And basically, Congress is, it's a de facto nursing home now. I mean, it really is, it's a terrible situation. And we had a great political opponent years ago, a guy by the name of Riley Neesent, who wrote an essay on why there need to be age limits in Congress. And it's a fair thing that, and again, I disagree with Neesent. I understood the premise, but now I get it. I mean, my goodness, ladies and gentlemen, this is just insane. But here's the problem. The Republicans are trying to shove all of this under the carpet. Nobody's talking about it. It's like the guy who was diagnosed with clinical depression, the Republican, from what? New Jersey.
Keen was his name. And when you're hospitalized for, I don't know, five, six months dealing with depression, that is a major issue. You do not belong in the halls of Congress. It's not like you're just suddenly cured. So there's a lot of weird stuff going on right now on Capitol Hill, and the Republicans need to come clean here, but they're not going to do it. They're not going to do it, ladies and gentlemen, because this would upset the balance of power. And that's why the Republicans are hiding all of this, and they're shoving it under the covers, is what Loomer is suggesting now, that Mitch McConnell, and by the way, what's the wife up to? She's over in China. What's going on there?
A lot of questions, a lot of questions about that. But I want to start today, and by the way, we've got a great show lined up for you. Congressman John Rose is going to drop by. Also, Josh Jones is here to talk about Graham Plattner. And there's a new study out.
Teachers are apparently not teaching American history, and we've got some data. Gabe Delaney, our favorite history teacher at Franklin Road Christian School, is going to be here in just a little while to help us figure out all of that. But I want to start with the gals on The View. And these gals are, they're a piece of work. They're a piece of work. I'll tell you that much. So anyway, you had Sunny, what is it? Sunny Hostin is her name. And Sunny Hostin is out there talking about how much she hates the American flag. And the context of this, you have the Southern Poverty Law Center, allegedly, setting up the white nationalists. What is it they call them? The Patriot front guys. And they're the ones that wear the masks and the khaki pants. It's all very odd. And anyway, they were up during the 4th of July. Reuters just happened to have a photographer on a train as the guys were on the metro train and they were surrounding a black woman who happened to be seated on a seat. And just all coincidental, of course. And so that photo now going viral and they're saying, oh, this is a form of intimidation. Now keep in mind when poor sweet Irina Zyrinski was sitting on a train and was slaughtered, was stamped to death by a black dude, nobody cared. Nobody on The View cared about that. You weren't allowed to care about that. But in this situation where this black woman was just sitting there and nobody tried to intimidate or anything, it was just a matter of sitting there and all these alleged white supremacists hopped on the train. By the way, Sunny Hostin talking about all of this.
