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.

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.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vice President J.D. Vance spoke in Athens, Georgia the other day. It was billed as a Turning Point USA gathering. The arena could seat more than 8,000 people. But only 1,500 people showed up.

It was especially odd seeing how Georgia is a red state and college students especially have been drawn to the America First movement.

Last week David Axelrod, Obama's former senior advisor and a longtime Democrat strategist met with Pope Leo XIV. Days later, Pope Leo is publicly attacking President Trump. And on Sunday three cardinals appeared on 60 Minutes to rebuke the president's immigration policies. I don't believe in coincidences. The pope has weaponized the Catholic Church to advance an agenda that promotes open borders and illegal immigration. They have also chosen sides in the Iran war. The pope has been blasting President Trump’s policies since 2025. He's using the pulpit to play politics. And when President Trump finally pushed back - the pope played the victim card. I’m actually impressed that President Trump held his tongue for as long as he did. But he’s right – Pope Leo is soft on crime and he’s also a very liberal pontiff. This is nothing more than a coordinated attack on the president of the United States by the Vatican. And quite frankly, it is both distasteful, uncharitable and un-Christian.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
