ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

Parents are raising questions after someone posted an offensive post about 9/11 on the Bartlett High School Facebook page. Instead of commemorating 9/11, the school announced they would be celebrating “Independence Recognition Day. As many critics pointed out, 9/11 is not about celebrating the Fourth of July. The post has since been removed.

Far Left students are hosting parties to mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk and to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his murder. These are sick deviants. They belong in a mental hospital, not a taxpayer funded university.

The special tells the story of how Charlie started Turning Point USA in his parents’ garage and built it into one of the largest youth organizations in the country, becoming the most consequential conservative voice of his generation.

Narrated by Mike Gallagher, Larry O’Connor, and Alex Marlow, with a special appearance by Larry Elder, the program will tell Charlie’s remarkable story largely through his own voice, including rare audio from his first interview with longtime host Dennis Prager when Charlie was just 22 years old.

The program draws from rare archival interviews and recordings, along with stories from those who knew Charlie throughout his rise from a young activist to a national conservative leader. More than anything, it will give you another chance to hear Charlie as you remember him: in his own voice.

There is national outrage after reports surfaced that students at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville were planning parties to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The university has officially weighed in as well. Watch our show this morning!

Fox News Channel is facing massive backlash from fans after firing longtime host Maria Bartiromo. We have breaking news coverage.

Shatonia Wallace, 22, has been indicted for aggravated child abuse. She is accused of burning a two-year-old child with boiling water. The child suffered burns over 30 percent of her body and had to be airlifted to Vanderbilt. Wallace is in jail on a $100,000 bond.

A family farm in Indiana is facing the wrath of liberals because they designed their annual corn maze to resemble Charlie Kirk.

Otis Sanford, a professor emeritus at the University of Memphis, condemned Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Rep. David Kustoff and State Sen. Brent Taylor on social media. He accused them of selling “their political souls to the most corrupt, incompetent, mean-spirited, conniving, lying, vindictive, race-baiting, misogynistic and dangerous president in American history.”

Sanford said that he could not in “good conscience” be silent. 

This is the sort of propaganda he spewed in the classroom at the UofM – which is why so many UofM journalists are far-left propagandists. 

Dele Lowman, a member of the DeKalb County Board of Registration and Elections, said the pledge of allegiance is offensive and divisive. She refused to support the pledge until America “pledges allegiance to all of its people.” So, this woman hates America. She should be removed from her position of authority. What say you, America?

More far-left businesses across Memphis say they will deny service to law enforcement. We name names today. Plus, your chance to win tickets to see Alabama at Live At The Garden.

A Georgia police officer has been placed on leave after he shot and killed a family’s beloved pet donkey. The cops were searching for a missing child when they trespassed on the family’s property in Polk County, Georgia. The officers say the donkey ran up to them and brayed. The officer apparently feared for his life and opened fire.

At least 50 businesses, owned by pro-criminal, far-left activists, have announced they will not do business with any member of the Memphis Safe Task Force. The co-owner of Bramble and Bloom, which promotes flowers over fascism, says Memphis needs more social services, not cops. What say you, Memphis?

The mayor of Olive Branch, Mississippi is not a very big Dolly Parton fan. Mayor Ken Adams is making national headlines after he refused to lower the American flag to honor the Queen of Country Music.

Mayor Adams says that there’s no doubt Dolly brought joy to millions but he says to lower the red, white and blue would diminish the gesture’s significance. The mayor says the flag should only be lowered to honor military heroes, first responders and presidents.

The reaction has been somewhat insane. The New York Post picked up on the story – and thousands of people are commenting on social media. Most overwhelmingly object to the mayor’s decision.

President Trump and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves ordered that US and state flags be flown at half-staff for one week to honor Dolly. But under Home Rule, Mississippi allows cities the right to control their own internal affairs – which is why Mayor Adams thumbed his nose at President Trump and Gov. Reeves.

Perhaps the mayor could rethink his bone-headed decision – and perhaps lower Old Glory. You know – extend an olive branch.

There is growing outrage across America over Flock cameras and the surveillance of law-abiding American citizens. A more pressing question is why Congress has not outlawed kill switches in cars? The American people have a right to privacy. What say you?

A guy goes into a Best Buy the other day to purchase a laptop. He’s at the checkout asking for some help, which apparently he got. So, the man said to the clerk, “Thank you, sir.”

But it turns out the sir – identified as a ma’am. That’s right, folks. The Best Buy employee happened to be transgender. 

The worker became enraged and defiantly told the customer that he would not sell him a laptop unless he called him “ma’am.”

The customer pulled out a cell phone and recorded what happened next. 

Turns out the store manager agreed with the worker – telling the customer to buy the laptop someplace else. 

Back in the day Best Buy was known as the home of the Geek Squad. But these days Best Buy is known as the home of the Freak Squad. 

Jelly Roll, the convicted felon who claims to be a Christian, guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show. He used the national platform to attack President Trump — calling him a “fat pig.” It’s too bad Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee can’t rescind Jelly Roll’s pardon. And what does it say that a man who used to weigh 540 pounds is calling anybody a pig?
