Why Aren’t Mass Arrests Happening Across the Deep State?

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

You know, I watched the speech, and I hope you did as well. If you were watching ABC, NBC or CNN, you were not watching the speech. We'll get to more of that in just a moment. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
We are just so honored to have you along with us, including all of our vast Gen Z audience. You know, it's really interesting, but for some reason, the Gen Z crowd is flocking to the Todd Starnes Radio Program, and we are just so honored. Even though I don't necessarily use the language or the lingo, Dylan, of the Gen Z vernacular. So I'm still trying to figure out what SMP means.

**Dylan** (1:14)
Yeah, I mean, you're trying your best, which is what we want. Yeah.

**Todd Starnes** (1:19)
It's just shonking.
Shocking, I tell you. Because I'm not a young, I'm not a spring chicken, right?

**Dylan** (1:27)
But you know, you feel young.

**Todd Starnes** (1:29)
I feel, I really do. I really, a lot of this has to do, I think going back to 2005, you know, I had the heart surgery and put in the mechanical heart valve. My cardiologist explained it like this. He says, Starnes, you're 37 years old. 37 years old. He said, Starnes, it's like putting a Porsche engine into a Yugo. It's going to run great, but there may be a few parts fall off. So maybe that's it. I don't know. Anyway, great to see you. And we're going to get through this. We're going to be taking your calls on the president's speech, as well as a lot of other topics. And wow, phone's already lighting up, 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926.
It is Open Line Friday. If you are new to the show, that is the one day a week you can call in and you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. You can ask me whatever you want to ask me about. We'll be taking those calls today as well. So look, I want to go through some of what the president had to say last night. I thought it was an interesting speech. Here's what I had hoped the president would say, that the president did not say at the end of his speech. As soon as he had concluded his prepared remarks, he should have looked directly into the camera and said, and at this moment, raids are being conducted across the nation. People are being taken into custody. They will be charged. They will be prosecuted, and they will spend many years in prison for what they did to this nation. But that did not happen. That did not happen. I'm not sure that we got the evidence that I think the American people were looking for. We got a lot of redacted text conversations. Some of those in and of themselves are shocking. The idea that you had people in the deep state, which is what we call the bureaucracy in Washington, DC., that were working against our president. And we really knew this for a very long time. I mean, going all the way back to Peter Strozk and Lisa Page and the FBI scandal when Lisa Page was terrified that the president might be elected back in, this was going all the way back to 2016 And Peter Strozk, who was her secret lover, said, don't worry about it, darling, because we've got insurance. We have an insurance policy.
And a lot of people were like, what does that mean at the time we? I mean, it certainly appeared as though that struck, who, by the way, also said the FBI would stop Trump from being elected. Clearly, those plans were thwarted by the vast listeners of the Todd Starnes radio show audience. You guys went to the polls, voted in massive numbers, and as a result of all of that, well, Donald Trump got elected and the FBI got hosed.
But now, President Trump, and he announced this last night during his remarks, that he found evidence that there was a member of the FBI who was working against the President of the United States. This is a very troubling development, and we need to talk about this. As a matter of fact, we're going to play some audio. We have several clips from the President's remarks. The President said that FBI agent by the name of Nikki Floris, wrote in a text message that, I'm basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point. That's a pretty shocking revelation. What exactly does Agent Flores mean by that? She is now a former FBI agent, by the way, working for one of the big tech firms.
