New York City’s socialist mayor is telling citizens to raise their thermostats to 78 degrees because the power grid could collapse. Nothing quite like the warmth of collectivism on a stifling hot July afternoon.

More socialists were swept into power yesterday in Colorado - taking down a 15-term Democrat lawmaker. On today’s show I explain why the insurgency is only going to grow.

The Supreme Court today made birthright citizenship the law of the land. That means illegal aliens who give birth on American soil - will be ensured their child is an American citizen.

For decades residents in San Marcos, California have flown the American flag outside their million dollar homes. But the Ambiance Owner’s Association got triggered by the election of President Trump and now they are ordering residents to either remove their flags or face a $100 fine.

A major controversy is unfolding in Texas where three Republicans on the State Board of Education joined Democrats to remove mandatory lessons about key battles during the American Revolution. We have breaking news developments on today’s show.

The Detroit Tigers ejected a baseball fan because she was wearing a “Jesus Over Pride” shirt. Staffers told her the shirt offended people and made them uncomfortable. I wonder how many Tigers fans were uncomfortable watching grown men parade around in pantyhose and feather boas? Coming up on today’s show: Seth Barron, Jacob York, and Dr. John Fleming  

"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. Listen and Subscribe! 

State Sen. Scott Wiener says Christians can no longer claim the rainbow. Weiner, who is openly gay, says the rainbow belongs exclusively to LGBT people. What say you, Christians?

CNN launched around-the-clock news coverage of President Trump’s attempt to kill algae. Meanwhile, the network turns a blind eye to coverage when it comes to illegals killing Americans.

Starbucks workers in St. Louis were fired when they fought back against two robbers. The workers now have an attorney. Starbucks is not commenting.

The Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Library is now open to the public and it’s already being called the most hideous presidential edifice in American history. Some have likened the drab, gray, dystopian obelisk to a guard tower at a North Korean prison camp. Others have said ti bears a striking resemblance to a Death Star.  It is also the most expensive presidential library in history. The original budget was $330 million but costs exploded to more than $850 million. And Fox News reports the final price tag could exceed $1 billion. But not everyone is all hope and change and yes we can. It turns out that a number of black contractors have not been paid. One plumbing company says they are owed nearly $4 million. The African American Contractors Association says they have never seen anything like this happen in the history of their organization. Are we really that surprised that Obama is not paying his bills? He stiffed black Americans during his 8 years in the White House – and he’s stiffing in them in the private sector too. By the way, if you plan on visiting Chicago, bring a valid form of identification. You’ll need that not to vote, but to gain access to the library. 

Republican lawmakers are demanding answers after Major League Baseball warned Christian players not to put Bible verses on the Pride ball caps.

At least 5 people have been arrested in a massive terror plot against the White House and UFC Freedom 250. The FBI says as many as 23 people may have been involved in the domestic terrorist plan. Suspects were arrested in California, Ohio, Nebraska and Missouri.

Liberals were enraged that President Trump hosted a UFC fight night at the White House. Instead, they wanted a poetry reading or a classical music concert. What they got were muscular fighters, gorgeous octagon girls and winners thanking Jesus. America is back, baby!

The family of Austin Metcalf is facing death threats and blacks are posting videos and memes on social media showing them urinating on the teenage boy’s gravesite.

Black activists around the country are urging people to target and attack white people in the aftermath of the Karmelo Anthony verdict. Meanwhile, Anthony’s family said every single person who testified in the case is a liar.

Black activists are threatening violence against white people in the aftermath of the Karmelo Anthony trial. They literally believe Anthony was justified in killing Austin Metcalf because of the color of his skin. What say you, America?

It’s imperative that Majority Leader Thune nuke the filibuster so that the Save America Act can be enacted. Otherwise, Democrats will continue to steal elections.

California has been allowing people to register to vote using gym membership cards. That’s just one of the explosive findings in a report issued by the Justice Department.  People can also use debit cards of insurance cards – meaning a good many illegals had the opportunity to vote. The Justice Department says they have launched a number of investigations into voter fraud. This as the vote counting still continues – and it may take 2 or 3 more weeks. And with every passing day – the late vote tallies always benefit the Democrats. Most recently evidence was discovered that a 125-year-old woman voted.   

Four Republican senators killed the Save America Act last night. Today - we name names and we discuss a path forward to remove rogue RINOs from Congress.

New York Democrats have advanced legislation that would refer to mothers and fathers in official government documents as gestating parent and non-gestating parent. What say you, America?

They are still counting ballots in California - but Republicans are holding their own. Is the Golden State poised for a Conservative resurgence? Josh Jones joins us to discuss along with Jeff Stein, and Liz Peek.

Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white man, was stabbed to death by a minority. He told officers nine times he could not breathe - but they did not believe him. Instead, they placed Henry in handcuffs and accused him of racism. He bled out. Nigel Farage is leading the outrage — saying that in Britain white lives should matter.

MS NOW anchor  Ali Velshi says he’s conflicted about celebrating the 250th birthday of America – announcing on cable television that he feels a deep unease about celebrating the land of the free and the home of the brave. Here’s what you may not know about Mr. Velshi. He was born in Kenya and raised in Canada. In 2015 he swore an oath to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. We welcomed Mr. Velshi into our nation and by all measures he is living the American dream. There are reports that he could be worth quite a bit of money. You really think that would’ve happened if Mr. Velshi had remained in Kenya or even in Canada? Highly unlikely. And that’s why – as much as Ali Velshi hates our nation – he will never leave. He’s living the good life.So while Americans toast our Founding Fathers and enjoy burgers and fireworks on this Fourth of July, might I recommend that aggrieved immigrants like Ali Velshi just shut up and show a little gratitude or better yet - book a one-way ticket back to Kenya.

Martina McBride has pulled out of the America 250 celebration set for the Washington Mall. She claims it’s because of politics.  I wish I could tell you that I’m surprised by McBride’s cowardice, but I’m not.  When it comes to modern-day entertainers, courage is hard to come by. But I am troubled by her lack of patriotism.  Martina McBride had a chance to be a part of a diverse soundtrack to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. Instead, she chose to be a partisan rather than a patriot. 

Former First Lady Jill Biden now admits that she thought her husband was having a stroke during his last debate. But she refused to let her husband drop out of the race.

Establishment Republicans are being taken out one by one. The latest is Sen. John Cornyn in Texas - a blow-out loss. America First voters are done with any politicians who stand in the way of President Trump’s agenda — which also happens to be OUR agenda. Every candidate endorsed by President Trump has won their primary race. What does that tell you, America?

AOC is calling on New Yorkers to pull up on the southern states over redistricting. It’s not exactly clear how the Bronx princess intends to accomplish that. But all of us down here in Dixie would love to see her try. I wonder if she’s ever heard of a cast iron skillet?

The secret Democrat election autopsy report was leaked to media outlets...guest host Jeff Stein has a few ideas of why it came out at this point in the 2026 election cycle.

Never tug on Superman’s cape. I think most Americans learned that lesson when we were kids – but Congressman Thomas Massie must have missed school that day. No big surprises last night – just a reaffirmation that the American people want Republican members of Congress to stand with President Trump and advance the agenda that he presented to the nation. Massie simply forgot that he was supposed to serve the interests of the good people of the Fourth Congressional District in Kentucky – and not a bunch of extremist bots on social media.  

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.

Todd is back in the saddle today after more than a week of being in the hospital. He’s looking forward to hearing from you. He’s going to be covering all the big stories of the day and he’ll share a few funny stories of his hospital stay.

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.
