The Todd Starnes Show

Huge news for Pizza Hut fans - one major franchise owner is ditching the modern Pizza Hut motif and going old-school. They’re bringing back the red hut and Pac-Man! Love the retro! 

It’s Retribution Day for Establishment Republicans who are defying President Trump. More than 70 percent of Louisiana voters booted Sen. Bill Cassidy from office. John Cornyn and Thomas Massie may be next.

Residents of a wealthy Atlanta suburb are freaking out after Waymo cars invaded their neighborhood. There was no-one inside the self-driving cars. The empty Waymo cars just kept circling a cul de sac for hours.

Vice President J.D. Vance says they discovered 186,000 dead Americans getting food stamps. Meanwhile, some recipients say it is not fair that they now have to work at least 80 hours per month to qualify for food stamps. And others are furious they are no longer allowed to buy junk food. 

Planet Fitness canceled a woman’s membership after she complained about a man undressing in the women’s locker room. They also called the police on the woman. Do you stand with women or men who wear ladies undergarments?

New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino tells Todd that Muslims clashed with police in a Jewish neighborhood. She said the Muslims spit on cops.

A group of black diners caused mayhem at Arthur’s, a high-end steak house in Little Rock, Arkansas. The diners filmed the entire incident - claiming that the owner of Arthur’s Steakhouse shoved a steak in her face and attacked her. She accused the beloved dining institution of being racist. Anyone else getting fatigued?

President Trump delivered on his promise of transparency by releasing the long-awaited files and videos on UFOs and alien creatures. Congress ordered the Pentagon to begin releasing decades of files on UFO sightings in 2022 as some members of the military shared encounters with unexplained aircraft.

President Trump is calling on ABC News to fire Jimmy Kimmel after he cracked a joke about how the First Lady was excited about becoming a widow. Kimmel doubled down and defended his remarks. Conservatives are furious. What say you?

Hundreds of journalists demanded that President Trump be confronted forcefully at the White House Correspondents Dinner. And they nearly got their wish. 

The media’s hatred of this man is really at demonic levels. It's unhinged. And yet, when the gunman attacked, President Trump ordered the Secret Service to protect the journalists. He was deeply concerned about their safety and well-being. 

And he was determined to stay and resume the program to accommodate the reporters. That notion was quickly dismissed by the Secret Service. But it shows you the heart of this man - a good and decent man who has been maligned by the media and the DC establishment.  

We thank God once again that he spared the life of our president and our lovely First Lady. And we thank God that he spared the live of the Secret Service agent who was shot. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble and he will protect us from the evil one. 

But the only people to blame for the current assassination culture in America are the Democrats, and the Legacy Media. Watch the Todd Starnes Show live below. 

Virginia State Senator Lamont Bagby has figured out all of you country folks. Senator Bagby says he’s understands all of those country boys and girls getting down on the farm because he watches The Dukes of Hazzard. For Senator Bagby to suggest that he knows about country living because he’s watched The Dukes of Hazzard makes about as much sense as me saying I know about urban living because I watched Sanford and Son. 

We begin with the California gubernatorial debate. Two Republicans and a slew of Democrats hoping to be Gavin Newsom’s successor. One issue in particular generated a lot of controversy – whether or not truck drivers should be required to understand English. It’s seems to be a reasonable requirement. We should want anybody driving an 80 thousand pound truck to know what the word “yield” means or “sharp curve ahead.” But California Democrats say forcing black and brown Californians and illegal immigrants to know what the word “stop means is racial profiling – and in some cases – a form of terrorism.” What say you, America? 

The Justice Department announced an 11-count indictment accusing the SPLC of fraud. They also stand accused of giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to paid informants inside extremist groups. One of the more shocking accusations is that the SPLC actually organized the Charlottesville riot – that left one woman dead and sparked nationwide protests. The SPLC has a notorious history of slandering Christian groups like Family Research Council, Turning Point USA and even yours truly as hate groups. 

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says the SPLC paid sources to stoke racial hatred. They literally did the exact opposite of what they told their donors. In essence – the Justice Department peeked under the KKK hoods and discovered Southern Poverty Law Center staffers and their cronies. The SPLC accused Christians of being violate hate and extremist groups – when it turns out – they were the ones fomenting hate.

Sen. Chris Murphy, the Democrat from Connecticut, is under fire for appearing to cheer on America’s enemy during the middle of a war. It was reported that 26 ships in Iran’s shadow fleet had been able to run the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to that news, the senator tweeted one word, “Awesome.”

White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News the congressman’s social media message crossed the line.

“It takes an insane level of Trump Derangement Syndrome to cheer for a terrorist regime that chants ‘Death to America,” Wales told the network.

“Chris Murphy is an America-last, radical left lunatic who stands for illegal aliens and Iranian terrorists over the American people,” she added. “The only thing ‘awesome’ will be when he is out of office.”

First of all, there is no evidence that Iran has a shadow fleet or that they were able to evade the U.S. Navy. And to suggest otherwise is outrageous.

“This is what late-stage TDS looks like: Cheering on Iran to defeat the U.S. Navy,” read a statement from the Trump War Room on X.

The congressman’s office defended the message and said it was nothing more than sarcasm.

It appears that Sen. Murphy is either a moron or he’s a traitor to his country. It's time to start calling out these treasonous Democrats for who and what they really are. Treason is a crime in the United States of America. It’s defined in part as giving "comfort" to the enemy. And that's what Murphy's comments did.

At the very least Sen. Murphy should be censured by the U.S. Senate. And he should also be brought up on charges. And, if found guilty, he should face whatever penalties are levied by court. It’s time to stop coddling anti-American politicians.

President Trump is breaking his boycott and will attend Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association black-tie dinner. And now the media is freaking out. The New York Times says his attendance has "raised some uncomfortable questions within media and political circles."

"What sort of message will this president, who has sued, threatened and demonized the independent news media, deliver when handed a microphone in front of hundreds of the nation’s most prominent journalists,” the Times reported. 

Several hundred journalists are demanding the correspondents publicly confront and rebuke the president. 

"How will the Correspondents’ Association, whose mission is to support the First Amendment, respond to a president whose favorite form of speech is speech that is favorable toward him?"
