The White House says President Trump has been briefed on the U.S. fighter jet that was shot down over Iran. A massive search and rescue operation is under way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill say there is some sort of alien breeding program. What does the Bible say about aliens? We’ve got you covered, America!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump says he is reconsidering America’s membership of NATO after not a single member heeded his call for aid in securing the Middle East from Iranian threats. And several nations refused to allow our military jets to access runways. I say it’s time to pull the plug. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaden Ivey is out of a job after he criticized the NBA for forcing players to celebrate gay pride. There’s a price to pay for anyone who refuses to pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many in the media are blaming Majority Leader John Thune for blocking President Trump’s agenda. But I blame ALL the Republican senators. Not a single one has called for Thune to step aside. Therefore, they are all responsible. What say you?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senate Republicans surrendered to Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. The Democrats got everything they wanted - a compromise bill that does not fund ICE or Border Patrol. Democrats held the line. Republicans caved. Senate Majority Leader John Thune scheduled the vote for 2 a.m. - while the nation was sound asleep. That tells you everything about what the Republicans just did. They immediately skipped town without even addressing the Save America Act. There's no other way to interpret what the Senate Republicans have done. They have all but guaranteed massive losses in the midterm elections and they have effectively ended President Trump's America First agenda. I sincerely doubt that Republicans will codify any more of the president's Executive Orders. Every Republican senator who went along with this should face a primary opponent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Croissanterie, a popular restaurant in Little Rock, ordered Gov. Sarah Sanders to leave after servers - including at least one gay server felt threatened and triggered. The owner posted a message saying it was important to look after their staff - so that’s why the Arkansas governor got the boot. What say you?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate from Texas once urged citizens to reduce their consumption of barbecue. When he ran for the statehouse he campaigned on a “non-meat” platform. Do you really think Texans are going to stop smoking brisket?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The social media wars need to end and so does their petty bickering. The enemy here are radical progressive Democrats. Instead of fighting each other, we need to be laser focused on making sure the Democrats never win control of Congress. Thank you for your attention to this matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s a very real chance that the Republicans could lose the midterm elections because social media influencers are splintering the MAGA movement. President Trump entered the fray over the weekend by voicing his clear support for radio host Mark Levin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ROTC students sprang into action when a Muslim jihadist shouted "Allahu Akbar" and opened fire inside a classroom at Old Dominion University. The FBI says the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps students showed “extreme bravery and courage” and prevented further loss of life by stopping the suspect, identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh. The ROTC students subdued him and “rendered him no longer alive,” the FBI said. “I don’t know how else to say it.” President Trump should honor these brave cadets at the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lara is joined by former RNC national spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko and host of The Danielle Gill Show Danielle Gill for a panel discussion on some of the biggest political stories of the week. The panel begins with a discussion of the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the broader implications for global security. The conversation turns to why many voices on the left, including prominent feminist organizations, have remained silent about the treatment of the Iranian women’s soccer team. The ladies also discuss the importance of maintaining a secure border during periods of heightened international tension and the risks of potential terrorist threats within the United States. They react to the attempted terrorist attack in New York City and examine how some political figures, including Mamdani, have attempted to spin the situation.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted a Muslim event at City Hall the other day. Those gathered assembled on prayer rugs. They sat barefoot on the ground while eating a meal and chanting about Allah. One of the Muslims in attendance flashed the symbol for ISIS – just a few days after two ISIS terrorists tried to blow up conservative protesters. In the shadows of where two mighty towers once stood, Islamists broke bread on prayer rugs inside City Hall.  It turns out that the Islamists were not just waging jihad on the Twin Towers on that awful, terrible day. But they were also waging jihad on our way of life. The Christians and the Jews turned a blind eye out of either ignorance or fear. But it really doesn’t matter now.  Because New York City is now under Islamic rule and if this country does not wake up to this clear and present danger – it won’t be the last major city to fall. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has been sabotaging President Trump’s agenda from Day One. It’s time for Republicans to remove this man from leadership. Otherwise, the GOP will face a full-scale rebellion from voters in the midterms. The only reason we gave them congressional majorities was to implement Trump’s agenda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What really angered me was watching President Trump plead with members of his own party to pass the Save America Act. It’s time to remove Majority Leader John Thune from leadership. This is ridiculous.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) says all Muslims should be deported from the United States. Agree or disagree?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, the president’s pick to be the next secretary of Homeland Security, says that considerations should be made for the children of illegals. Do you agree with that assessment? Should DHS only focus on the most hardened illegal alien criminals?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump says he will soon endorse a candidate in the GOP runoff in the Texas U.S. Senate race. Trump says the person he does not endorse should immediately drop out of the race.

Today, I have a message for all of you America First patriots – all of you folks who support a secure border and lower prices at the grocery store. All of you folks who are celebrating President Trump’s crackdown on violent crime. This is a message for all of you Christians who cherish religious liberty and all of you law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen who enjoy hunting. And for you folks who believe boys should stay out of the girls locker room. This is for all of you great Americans who oppose the weaponization of our federal agencies. If you don’t vote – the president’s agenda will come to a crashing halt. Most recently – primary elections in Texas and North Carolina. Big races on the ballot and in both states Democrats smoked Republicans. They turned out in record numbers to vote in their primaries. Had this been the November election – the Democrats would’ve retaken the House and the Senate. President Trump has done his part for American and you must do yours. Vote. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The surviving Iranian leaders were meeting to determine their next Ayatollah when Israel blew up the building where they were meeting. Bad guys go boom!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been interesting to see the reactions to the military strikes against Iran. Iranian women are shedding their hijabs which were mandatory under Islamic dress code rules. Here in America, woke women are cloaking themselves in the hijab. Students in Iran are celebrating in the streets chanting President Trump’s name. Students here are chanting, “Death to America.” Persians across our nation are marching in the streets, waving American flags and dancing to “YMCA” – the unofficial theme song of the MAGA movement. And yet so-called conservative influencers like Candace Owens and Nick Feuntes and Tucker Carlson are condemning our nation and our president. Tucker said President Trump’s actions were absolutely disgusting. Ironically, he shares the same opinion as Jane Fonda and the Islamists. It is a great day for freedom fighters and a bad day for the Islamists and their American propagandists. And never forget that the Ayatollah tried to assassinate President Trump not once, but twice. And now Iran’s Supreme Leader is a pile a Kibbles & Bits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tucker Carlson in an explosive interview accused Americans who support Israel of being shills. He also said that President Trump will be the last pro-Israel president. We will discuss on today’s show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bombshell report shows the FBI targeted multiple Trump staffers after the 2020 presidential election. They got phone records and digital search reports from a number of staffers including Susie Wiles. Make no mistake - when the Democrats say they will target and punish Trump supporters after 2028 - they mean business.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Something special happened at the Winter Olympics. It’s a rare moment when a sports team can unite the country. But that’s what happened on Sunday – when the men’s hockey team won not only the gold – but they won the hearts of a nation.  Millions of Americans watched the game from the living rooms and neighborhood pubs and many even watched on their smart phones – tucked away in pews during church. Which could explain why there were spontaneous shouts of “praise the Lord” during the preacher’s sermon.  But not everyone was proud to be an American on Sunday.  Huffington Post writer Monica Torres penned a scathing attack on our country. She said that many of our fellow countrymen are turned off by waving Old Glory and chanting, “USA.” Now you understand why many news organizations are filing for bankruptcy.  If you really do get turned off by the red, white and blue – I’d recommend moving to Canada. I have much more to say about this on my website, ToddStarnes.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The president of the student body at Iowa State University has been impeached by the Student Government Association because he is part of a group with ties to Turning Point USA. They claim he acted with "malfeasance" because he supports conservatives running for student government. Colby Brandt will now face a Supreme Court trial to determine if he will be removed from office. Ironically, at the same meeting the SGA approved funding for an Iranian student group and other far-left causes. It's time for the Department of Education to put up or shut up when it comes to universities that silence conservative students. All federal funding to Iowa State University must be frozen. Jeff Stein from KXEL Radio joins to discuss. And be sure to read more about this story at www.toddstarnes.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump is beloved by black Americans and they demonstrated that love during a special ceremony at the White House. Felicia Cook earned national praise when she blasted the president’s critics. "Get off the man’s back," she said. "Let him do his job. He’s doing the right thing. Back up off him."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s a raging debate in New York City after one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s closest aides said that dogs are unclean — leading to a wild debate over whether Fido could one day be banned from the Big Apple.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Aurora, Illinois hundreds of students marched out of class waving Mexican flags the other day. They were protesting ICE agents. The mob of teens attacked police officers and a man holding a Trump banner. In Lake Zurich, Illinois a teenager holding a pro-ICE sign was literally punched in the face. And in another incident – a kid wearing a MAGA hat was taunted and bullied. Do you really think that middle schools and first graders are really monitoring ICE deportations? Or do you find it more plausible that teachers are using classroom time to promote anti-ICE propaganda? There is a clear and present danger in our nation’s classrooms. The Communists and the Anarchists have gotten a foothold in our nation’s education system. That’s why it’s imperative that President Trump abolish the Department of Education, bust up the teachers unions and return control of our schools back to the American people. Otherwise, we will lose the Republic. I have much more to say about this on ToddStarnes.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Generation Z is not all that smart – now that’s not what Todd Starnes says – but that is what the experts say. The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation that did worse in school than the generation before them.  Dr. Jared Horvath is a top neurologist and he recently testified before Congress regarding standardized academic tests. He says Gen-Z underperformed on basically every cognitive measure from basic attention, literacy and general IQ. The doctor says one of the reasons is because kids are spending too much time in front of screens – and not enough time actually learning.  Dr. Horath says he’s not anti-tech, rather he’s pro-rigor. He wants schools to put away the laptops and give the kids actual books – make them use a pen and a piece of paper again. I’m not so sure about the doctor’s take on Generation Z- but it sure would be nice if they would return phone calls – and answer text messages on the same day they were sent.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CNN anchors said on national television that women and country folks were too ignorant to get a form of identification. That’s why they oppose any efforts to force voters to show proof of citizenship. You have to have an ID to buy booze, get on board an airplane, book a hotel room and even buy a bottle of NyQuil. But Democrats say it’s a constitutional violation to force people to show ID to vote. What say you, America?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn has doubled down on her attacks on President Trump. "They hate to see two woke b----es winning," Glenn wrote on social media. "If ‘Woke’ means people who use their platforms to advocate for marginalized communities in the country that they are actively representing …… Then yeah sure?” She ought to be kicked off the team.

The House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into reports that a key swing state could have noncitizens both in its jury pools and voter rolls. Committee Chairman James Comer is sending a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi alongside Rep. John James (R-MI), asking whether a specific county in the Detroit metropolitan area is giving rights exclusive to U.S. citizens to others residing there — which could potentially violate federal law.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, this is pretty darned funny! Even liberals are enraged over the ignorance of Ugandan Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Trash is piled five feet high on sidewalks and filthy snow has yet to be removed. Even Bill de Blasio managed to plow the roads and remove the trash. You get what you vote for.
