Today we unpack the fallout and the next funding cliff, including what the continuing resolution really did and why the battle over enhanced Obamacare subsidies is far from over. We also break down John Fetterman’s pushback on The View and with Dana Bash, what it reveals about the fracturing Left, and why the media’s outrage machine keeps missing the point. Plus, some good news you won’t hear elsewhere: real crime reductions tied to enforcement and a massive rescue of missing kids. Conservative, not bitter—and laser-focused on truth, accountability, and results. Tap play and let’s sort the spin from the facts together.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's home
poor conservative not bitter talk and education. Be advised. The
content of this program has been talking about it. Two
prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you
to lean to the right. And now, coming to you
(00:29):
from the full suite Wealth Studios, here is your conservative
but not bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That is right, my friends, You've successfully and ever so
wisely tuned in to America's home for conservative not bitter talk.
I'm your host, the one and only, the ever so
beloved Todd Huff, the benevolent dictator here behind the microphone,
making socialist dreams come true. I guess finally found that
(00:55):
benevolent dictator here at the Todd Half Show. I'm kidding,
no such thing exists, but yet they're out there searching
with everything in their might to find it so that
their delusional and absolutely broken worldview, morally bankrupt worldview can
be I guess, verified or validated in their minds. We
(01:17):
talked a little bit about that yesterday. I want to
talk today now that President Trump has signed signed the legislation,
the Continuing Resolution now to reopen our government.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I want to talk.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
About a little of the fallout concerning that, a little
of a little bit about what is kind of the
fight about who won and all that kind of stuff.
I've got a clip of John Fetterman on the View.
I've got a clip of John Fetterman talking with Dana
(01:51):
Bash of CNN.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I just wanted to play some of this.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I want to share with you my thoughts on some
of this fallout, and of course we'll do that here,
my friends, in due course today. Before I get too
far down that path, though, friends, you know that one
of the biggest challenges we as conservatives have is finding
ways to ensure that our values align with the things
(02:15):
that we do. I know that you can manage the
things that you do in your own life. This you
know easily. You can decide, you know, what you do
for a career, how you educate your children. Gets a
little bit trickier sometimes when you look at investing your money, though,
because we've been told that you can't necessarily invest in
(02:38):
companies that reflect your values. But my friends, things have changed.
That used to be the case. It was hard to
manage that. But now there are tools and folks out
here like our friends at four eight Financial who can
help you invest in companies that are pushing in the
same direction you are. They specialize in what they call
biblically responsible investing. They screen out companies that go against
(03:03):
your faith and value, so you're not funding things that
go completely against your values your beliefs.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I mean, you know, how if.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The tool is there and we believe certain things, why
would we not take advantage of it? And that's what
for eight financial is here to help us do to
take advantage of those tools. They help do all the
heavy lifting for us. All we have to do. All
we have to do is take an assessment that we
can go complete at for eight financial dot com slash
(03:33):
todd again for eight financial dot com slash todd take
a quick assessment and they'll tell you to what degree
your current investments align with your values for eight financial
dot com slash todd for eight financial, because your money
should work for your values. All right, that being said,
(03:54):
let's get in to the well the content of today's program.
I want to start by the fallout, talking about the
fallout from the shutdown. The shutdown is now over after
forty three days, My friends, this was longer than the
forty days and nights. That well, forty days and nights
(04:20):
on the arc. This took three days longer than that.
Congress has passed temporary funding bill. We went through the
details of this earlier in the week. Essentially three of
the twelve appropriations bills are funded through the fiscal year
that's September thirtieth of twenty twenty six, believe it or not.
(04:41):
The other nine bills are not funded long term. They're
funded through January thirtieth, twenty twenty six. Here we are
nearing the end of November, so we have just a
little over two months before we're going to be staring
this in the eye again. This should be this should
be some thing that Congress begins talking about right now,
(05:03):
talking about right now how they avoid another shut down
on January thirtieth. They should begin negotiating and dealing with
these things. And of course we always have to deal
with the reality the possibility that the Democrat Party is
going to be engaging in political theater here, so just
(05:27):
be prepared for that. So this is a set us
up for a redo, potentially of a fight just like
this at the end of January.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We will see. But what did we learn what did
we learn from.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
This situation. Well, there is a lot of a lot
of this we already knew. Some of this was reconfirmed.
There's a lot of frustration out there the left, I
would tell you, as I've said pretty consistently on this program,
the left is upset that Republicans didn't negotiate on the
(06:06):
Affordable Care Act, the Obamacare subsidies that was not part
of this shutdown, that wasn't part of a clean cr
Republicans have told them that they will have the discussion,
but there's, you know, no guarantee that this will see
its way past the filibuster in the Senate, which of
course requires sixty votes to get passed. So we will
(06:27):
see what happens there. I don't think that these subsidies, well,
who knows what's going to happen with how they put
the focus on the issue and turn up the pressure
on some more moderate leaning Republicans and so forth. But
you know, there's a good chance that these subsidies don't
get passed. Of course, if that happens, even look if
(06:49):
the vote, if it never passes the Senate, which again
is a fairly decent chance, that's going to be the
outcome the extension of these Obamacare so cities, which, again,
if you didn't listen earlier in the week, that's okay,
I'll repeat myself here. So what the fight about is
from the Democrats perspective, or at least what they want
(07:11):
you to think it's about. I don't know how many
people genuinely believe this, and how many people are doing
this because they think it just simply gives them a
political narrative that helps them. Remember, this is a party
that is in absolute disarray. This is a party with
that leadership. This is a party without a rudder. This
is a party that the only time that they seem
to get any traction is when they have these elections,
(07:32):
like say with Zoran mom Donnie in New York, when
the individual is a I mean a leftist, a socialist,
a socialist running the city of New York, and that
doesn't work on the national stage. And so Democrats, the
base of course of the Democrat Party is very socialists,
very very far to the left. Some of them are
(07:54):
godless extremist radical leftists, and so they get excited about
this when it comes time for bigger national elections. They
want to pretend that they're not these socialists because that
typically doesn't work thankfully on the national stage, although they
certainly are gaining some momentum, and of course the candidate
(08:16):
matters a whole lot. A candidate like Zoran mom Donnie
for several reasons. He's articulate, well spoken. They can talk
about his race and ethnicity, make that part of this
if you vote against him and you're voting against people
that look like him, that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
But he became.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
An individual that could carry the socialist message across the
finish line in New York City. So this is the
I guess, the point of tension here Democrats.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
In the.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Base of the Democrat Party, the most energized are those
who are the most extreme radical leftist. These are the
ones who have been stirred into the greatest frenzy over
President Trump and how dangerous he is. These folks are
in the twenty percent that we talked about yesterday. I
don't know if that was in the Todd Talk or
the show now that I say this, but I remember
(09:15):
talking about the I think it was in the Todd
Talk yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Georgia Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
There was a poll done by the Atlanta What is
that the Atlanta Career Journal or Constitution Journal on the
what it is, there's some paper there. They did a
poll and found that twenty percent of Democrat voters in
Georgia find that the number one issue that they believe
exists politically today is that Democrats need to be the
(09:44):
opposition party just to pose President Trump and maga Republicans.
We talked a little bit about that, what does that
look like? What does that mean? They don't know, They've
just been stirred into a frenzy. They have to oppose
Trump at every turn, and these socialists appeal to them
because they do oppose Trump at every turn. They don't,
(10:05):
for example, kind of fit the mold of a John Fetterman,
who's far from a radical leftist. He's a more he's
he's liberal, but he's a Democrat senator who's certainly not
an unreasonable guy. He takes a lot of flak and
I've got a clip from him, which is why I
am mentioning that here off off the top, but.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
This is sorry here, let me make sure I get
the right link.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But this the fallout from this, The fallout from this
is that there's there's tension.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's been exposed.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
There's there's tension within the Democrat Party, there's tension within
the Republican Party. I've shared this with you, you know this,
We've talked about this for some time. There's a fight
for control of both the Democrat and Republican parties, and
and those.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Those two parts.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Those two groups include Democrats who are radically left socialists
in the Democrat Party and more traditional liberals in the
Democrat Party and the Republican Party there are the conservatives
and they're the the more moderate or country club Republicans.
And so there's there's fights within the fights politically in
(11:27):
in this country. And so there's fallout from this this shutdown.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Who do we blame?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Who do we.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think it's clear who we blame.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I've been through that this is this is Senate Democrats
who caused this, and that the proof is in the
putting because the eight Democrat senators that came across the aisle.
By getting eight Democrats to vote for this, it proved
that Democrats were blocking the government reopening.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
So that's an easy one. But who wins this, who
loses this and and so forth? I don't know that
any wins us.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I know the American people didn't win anything through all
this drama. The Democrats hoped that they did. That might
have helped them a little bit in these elections, potentially
helped drive voters to the polls when they can blame
Republicans for the shutdown and so forth.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
But as far as strategically, as far as you know,
doing something that really resonates with the American people, none
of that happened here. None of that happened here. However,
there is certainly tension within the Democrat Party. Sonny Houston
from The View, who you know, listen, I don't watch
the View, I don't care about the View. I talk
about the View because whatever we think about this, there
(12:43):
are people out there that this sort of garbage resonates
with them. This sort of rhetoric, this sort of viewpoint
and worldview which is empty in ways I can't describe
to you here on this program, just absolute emptiness and
utter just confusion, tumult, chaos, you name it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Over there at the View.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
She's angry, She's very, very angry. They had John Fetterman
on the program earlier this week, and I want to
play this exchange John Fetterman listen. A Democrat senator, he'd
been asked many times if he was going to become
a Republican. He says no, but certainly he doesn't fit
(13:26):
into the left's version of his party today. There's a
lot of things that are troubling about John Fetterman. But
I will say this, I give him credit for standing
on what appears to be principles here. I give him
credit for going on this program, not this particular program,
(13:46):
but the program with Sonny hostin over at the view,
knowing that he's going to get treated like this. So
I just want you to listen to this. This is
some of the fallout. This is again, these are two Democrats.
You have one who's Sunny Houston, who's further to the left.
You have one with With Fetterman, who's you know, a liberal,
(14:08):
but a guy that's that's at least reasonable that you
can have a conversation with understood early on that Democrats
caused this to happen, has been has been on the
side of reason many times, much more frequently than most
people on the political left are. So I want you
to hear this conversation. I think it's worth just acknowledging
(14:31):
this is the fight. This is the fallout there. There's
a lot of anger here. So when we get to
whatever this negotiation is going to look like for long
term funding, uh, the possible continuation of these Obamacare subsidies, which,
by the way, I started to tell you the Obamacare subsidies.
We've always had Obamacare subsidies, they were part of the
(14:52):
original package. The problem was during COVID, the government decided
to increase these subsidies. That increase those increased subsidies are
set to expire here at the end of the year,
and so of course Democrats want to make these permanent.
Republicans say, wait a minute, these were temporary. These were
(15:14):
supposed to be the result of you know, COVID and
what we were dealing with at that time. COVID's over.
Let's get back to reality here. Let's not create a
new entitlement or increase the level of entitlement of the American,
well of certain Americans who were using these these payments
(15:35):
and so forth. Remember, this was all created because government
decided to effectively take over healthcare.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And this is what happens.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
There's so many costs that are tacked onto this that
they hide and sneak by you. Let's try to sneak
by all of us, and this is just one of them.
And so there's anger here, there's rage. Sunny Hostin just thinks,
I guess free things should be given to all people.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
There's no I.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Guess day that the money actually has to be collected
and paid. She's perfectly fine spending ourselves into absolute oblivion.
The lovers of big government are happy with people like
Sunny Hostin because she helps create this emotional state of
mind where you say, you gotta just help people, just
(16:22):
give them more, take from the rich, give to those
who who are in quote unquote need, and all the
while you're driving our system of government past the point
of sustainability. That's where we are here, and she's fired
up and angry about it. So that being said, that
being said, I want to play a little bit of
this conversation between Sonny Houston and John Fetterman.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Poll after poll found more Americans on both sides of
the aisle blaming Republicans. Even Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the GOP.
As you mentioned, Democrats have big wins last week, so
you had momentum. Why give in?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I bring a butter knife to a gunfight. Are you
willing to gamble that they dealt yes good faith once
the government reopens, because if that gamble is wrong, half
a million Pennsylvanians that you represent, their healthcare cost will
skyrocket if you are wrong, and I believe you are wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Pause everything.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The reason the reason healthcare costs have skyrocketed, there's a
lot of reasons for this, but one reason is it's
the same reason that education, The cost of education has
skyrocketed over the course of time.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When we'll do anything we.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Can to pay for it out of federal funds, then
there is no what is the factor keeping the cost
down at that point? Listen, there are other factors that
they go into this. There's the games that are being
played with insurance companies. There is the lack of transparent
pricing at the in our health care system. There's a
(18:02):
lot of factors here. But when you know that the
price is going to be paid no matter what the
cost or whatever it is, whatever the price tag, the
government's going to fund it because they've decided healthcare is
a right, which is not a right.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It absolutely is not a right. Listen.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You can get mad at me all you want for
saying that it is not a right. You don't have
a right to something else that someone I should say,
it's something that someone else has to provide you.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
That is not a right. Of course, we should try
to find a.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Way where these things can happen in the private sector,
where people are able to be healthy, where we're not
being poisoned by our food and that sort of stuff,
where we're getting actual health care treatment that doesn't just
involve medications and prescriptions and all that sort of stuff.
We should look at the total picture of health and
(18:54):
not not just pushing pills. There's a lot of factors here,
but the idea the folks running the show knowing that
the government is going to pay for health care, and
that's going to mean more customers, and the government's going
to pay the price no matter what it is.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Effectively, that is.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Certainly a factor here in driving up the cost of
health care. And remember, as I shared with you, these
subsidies were supposed to be temporary through COVID, and this
is a lesson. This should serve as a lesson to everybody.
When you give a new benefit, it becomes nearly impossible
to take it away, even if it is supposedly a
(19:35):
temporary benefit. What you do is you've created a level
of dependency. This is one of the massive problems. This
is one of the reasons why socialism will never work.
It's one of the things the Pilgrims. We're getting close
to Thanksgiving. I'm going to tell the true story of
Thanksgiving here in a couple of weeks in memory of
the late great Rush Limbaugh, who used to do this
(19:56):
every year. That was my favorite episode of his, which
I had a lot of favorite episodes of his, but
it also is the favorite of my favorite episode that
we do every year, the true story of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
And the Pilgrims learned.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
They learned what happens when you have a socialistic mindset.
It is not good for the productivity of the group.
It drives, it creates laziness, it creates dependency. And when
there's incentive, when there's incentive and free markets and capitalism
and so forth, then people have a reason to work
(20:34):
harder or smarter.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
What have you.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And we'll get into all of that, but at the
core of this problem is this mindset.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Socialism fails.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
The more things you have that the government provides for people,
the more thing it's it's going to continue to provide
for people because we've created an expectation, We've created a dependency,
and that is not a good thing. That is not
a loving thing either. Listen, it is not good to
teach someone to be dependent on somebody else. Listen in
(21:08):
one and I don't mean that in some like self
made man approach. I just mean it as we all
are first and foremost responsible for ourselves, for our families.
And if you create this mentality that says someone else
is going to do what you should be taking or
tending to, then that creates a group of people, whatever
(21:32):
number percentage that is, that are not going to do that.
And then if they're they're promised this by people that
they vote for. This is why someone like me would
say people are voting, excuse me, paying off their voters.
They're effectively giving them things for voting for them. And
that's exactly what is happening here. I'm getting to the
end of this first segment. I'm gonna have to take
(21:52):
a break. We'll pick up John Fetterman talking with Sonny
Hostin on the other side of the break. Friends, before
we get too far down that path, Before we just
get to that break, they'll let me remind you my Pillow.
My Pillow's excited to announce their biggest three in one
sale ever. That includes My Pillow bed sheets, That includes
(22:14):
my towels, which are finally back in stock, and which
includes Premium My Pillow Limited Edition Premium my pillows made

information to take advantage of these sales prices which are
pretty dramatic. The My Pillow bed Sheets, for example, or

Speaker 3 (22:41):

special special pricing.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
There's sales on other items discounts as well that you'll
get using my code Todd during the checkout process MyPillow
dot Com promo code Todd. I've got to take a
quick time out, my friends. You're listening here to conservative
not to bitter talk. I'm your host, Todd huff back
in just a minute, Welcome back to my friends. Playing
(23:06):
a little bit of a sound bite, John Fetterman, he's
not even responded yet to sunny hostin I cut it
off before his response. We're going to pick that up
here as we venture through this segment and we play
this sound bite, so Sunny Hostin basically said, you know
you're negotiating with Republicans, there's no guarantee that they're going to.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Fund there.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I guess continue these subsidies for Obamacare. This could affect
half a million Pennsylvanians and the cost of their healthcare
they're going to skyrocket. And remember, she wants you to
think that the problem is the government isn't providing enough assistance.
I want you to know that there's a lot more
(23:51):
going on here and the government is refusing to allow
the private sector to truly solve this problem, the problem
of healthcare.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
There's a lot of problem.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I don't want to make it sound like it's just
an easy snap your fingers sort of fixed. There's a
lot of underlying problems, a lot of systemic problems when
it comes to how this nation deals with healthcare. And
this is the most simplistic, simple minded I should say solution,
(24:20):
meaning well, it's expensive, so give people more money to
pay for it. How about we think about ways to
drive down the cost By the way, giving people money
to pay for this is not the way to drive
down the cost. Free markets will do this. You heard
me say earlier this week, maybe again last week, I
don't remember. Milton Friedman said, on average, government's government running
(24:42):
a certain industry, or government being involved in something typically
causes it, on average to cost twice as much, sometimes more.
And I would assume the government's involvement here would has
caused the health care industry, the health insurance industry, to
be twice as expensive. I don't doubt that one bit.
(25:03):
It might be much more than that. But so she's
asked him, why did you give into this deal? The
polls said you were winning. You can't trust Republicans to negotiate.
You had the leverage. You're going to let Republicans off
the hook. These people are going to lose their subsidies.
These are people that live in your state. What do
you say to this effectively, is what she says to Fetterman,
(25:26):
and Senator Fetterman responds like this.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Well, for first of all, you know MTG is quite
literally the last person in America that I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Take advice or to get to my leadership and values from.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy pants like that,
then that's on them.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And now I don't need, and I don't need a lecture.
I don't need a lecture.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
From from whether it's Bernie or the governor in California,
because they are representing very deep blue blue kinds of
populations and a lot of those things, a lot of
those things were part of the extreme. And now remember
what really needs to win, to win the big win
is involving my state and other states and those things.
(26:08):
And why have we arrived here after the election a
year ago. We want to forget, We got to forget.
Some of the things that cost us that election are
now for me. It's like, that's why I'm trying to
remind people that kinds of the extreme newism, we can't
return to those kind of things and realize we need
to find a way forward. And I would like to
rather than cite MTG, I'm going to cite one of
(26:31):
the new governor elects saying that my election is not
a green light to continue this shutdown, because I promise
you this isn't a political game. It is viewed by
that by many of us, but the reality is forty
two million Americans now not sure where their next meal
is going to come from. And because we vote like
that vote like that, or people that haven't been paid
(26:53):
for five weeks now, and that kinds of chaos.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Okay, So that was his response.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Obviously that was longer conversation, but it gives you an
idea of the rift in the Democrat Party, he says.
Fetterman says, I'm not going to take a lecture. I
don't need a lecture from Bernie Sanders or Governor Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
They're in blue.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
States there, well, they've been radicalized, Fetterman says. Fetterman says, Look,
he didn't say this specifically, but he kind of did.
What works in those states is not going to work
for the Democrat Party as a whole. If we think
that running on spending more money.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Being.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
More progressive, so to speak, if we think that's going
to work, we are in for a rude, rude awakening.
So there's tension and turmoil and tumult and chaos out there.
There is a lot to be a lot to be
had here. Now, I do want to say this as well.
(27:49):
I do want to play one more. I think I
got this clip here. Fetterman was also on CNN. He
was on CNN with Dana and he was talking here
about some of the pushback and the I guess attacks
and so forth from during this shutdown. So he made
(28:16):
a comment, he made a comment here that Dana Bash
is going to ask him about regarding the venom of
the political left and the political right. Remember, Fetterman, while
he's on the left side of the eyse, he's a Democrat,
He's a liberal. He's not a radical leftist. And listen,
(28:37):
if you want to be accepted by the Democrat Party today,
I'm not talking rank and file. I'm talking if you
want to be adored by the media, if you want
to be protected, if you don't want any sort of
criticism lobbed your way from people on the political left,
then you've got to be a radical leftist. Fetterman is
not that. Fetterman saw first hand how for just how
(29:01):
well venomous people in his own party can be. In fact,
he says here that the cruelest comments that he dealt
with didn't come from Republicans, which is not shocking to
me or you, But this was shocking somehow to Dana Bash.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Here's that you said.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Quote, I've drunk deeply of the venom of both the
left and the right. As a connoisseur, I can confirm
that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from the far left.
That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as
an elected Democrat.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Why yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you know, it's been it's
just been my personal experience on this thing. And when
I asked my digital team, I said, you know, you're
we're on all the platforms, you know, really, what's what's
kind of the harshest, what's kind of the most personal?
Speaker 4 (29:52):
And the answer was immediate. He said, oh, blue sky,
it's blue sky.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
And the difference is, I mean the right would say
rough things and names, you know, some names I won't
repeat on TV.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
But but but the.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
On the lift, it was like they want me to die,
or that we're cheering for your next stroke, or that's terrible,
that depression want why couldn't it depression one? And I
hope your kids find you. I mean they even have
like the graphic.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, just listen to some of those things. Listen to
what they say to fetterment.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We hope you die, we hope your kids find you.
We wish depression would have won. Fetterment came out and
said he struggled with depression. It's had a stroke. Maybe
the guy can have that. The left says, we hope
he has another stroke. This is vile, venomous, this is evil,
this is wicked, This has no place. Listen, I said
the same thing when these things were said about Charlie Kirk,
(30:54):
his family, people celebrating his death, the similar similar things
have happened here with Fettermen. Some of the responses he's
gotten from the same people.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
These people on.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The extreme radical left, they are godless. They are just
living deeply in their sin and wickedness. They have no
remorse about anything. They want their political enemies to literally die.
They want their political enemies to die. This is what
happens when government becomes your god.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
This is what happens. You produce.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know, there are religious zealous out there in the world.
You produce religious zealous for politics, You produce a political
zealo whatever you want to call it. But government has
become God for these people. They fall at the at
the foot the altar of government and worship. And if
somebody interferes with what they believe, with what their particular
(31:51):
sectarian beliefs are in this religion of government, they want
you to die. They want you to be sacrificed, They
want you to suffer. This is sick, this is evil,
this is wicked. Vetterman says a little bit more here.
I'll get this in before we have to wrap this up.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
They have like a stroke, you know, you know in
your head. Yeah, and I remember one.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
They claimed the doctor let us down and why did
they have to save his life? I mean just really like,
I just can't imagine people are are wishing, you know,
I wish he dies or I want him to die,
you know, literally cheering for for a stroke. Yeah, And
I don't know what the kind of a place where
that comes from.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yes she did.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
That's that's much different than just.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Calling me a name, you know, And that's that's really
been consistent, you know, in that community online.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
The left is venomous, the godless extreme radical left is
out of control, venomous and completely wicked and depraved.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
What do you mean you don't know? Dana Bash acts
surprised here. I'm just more on this after the brick.
I'm at the end of my segment. Friends, if you're

(34:05):
my friends. Third final segment of the program. I know
it's a sad time, but I want to wrap up
what we were talking about. I also want to hit
on a couple of high points with some of the
things that are happening here in our country that are
good well time, I don't have.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
A lot of time.

Go to the Stack for today's episode November thirteenth, and
you'll be able to see You'll be able to see
so many things. I'm going to mention here briefly here
in just a moment before I do that. Have you
ever noticed how some families seem to have a plan
that lasts for generations.

(35:29):
This is going to be a little bit of a
lightning round again. If there's something I say that you
want more information on, it's on the website.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
First.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
First, First First, Danabash acts like she doesn't know what
the world why people would say these things to Fetterman.
She can't be serious. She can't possibly be serious. People
in the media have stirred up hatred for Donald Trump
the Republican Party for a decade now, even longer.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
But they've really ratcheted, ratcheted it up. It's tough to
say here.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Over the past decade, since Trump's been running for office,
in office, out of office, and out speaking whatever the
deal was, for ten years now, it has been ratcheted up.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
She cannot possibly be serious.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
She absolutely knows that they have created this monster. Now
they didn't completely create it. The person has to have
this desire, this this desire to do evil and wickedness
in their heart, but they've certainly provided the fuel for that.
She can't possibly be serious. This is not confusing to
(36:35):
anyone who pays attention, who has half of a brain.
Number one, number two, there's an article. It's in the
stack of stuff. It's from the Daily Caller headline. Well,
the question that they addressed is did Republicans cave? Did
Republican's cave in this negotiated settlement by softening the plans
(36:59):
that Trump's administration had to shrink the government workforce because
it undid some of the Some of the layoffs were
supposed to be permanent riffs, and the deal said that
all those rifts were going to be no one could
be riffed. Everybody was going to be brought back, and
(37:20):
there couldn't be any more rifts until I think it's.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
The end of January. So look, this is I mentioned
this early on in this shutdown, probably forty days ago,
maybe five six weeks ago, that this was going to
be something that Trump was going to have the opportunity
to do. We were, as usual, ahead of that curve
ball here told you what was coming.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
They took those steps. Republicans undid that by negotiating or
working with this negotiated deal. Was that caving? Is that necessary?
You can read more on the website. What I really
want to get to and just touch on here in
the final segment. Again, I wish I had more time.
I simply didn't don't, friends, there has been such tremendous success.
(38:06):
I don't know Trump Trump posted. I think Trump posted
crime statistics on probably truth Social. I don't have that
in front of me. I just had this article in
front of me that shows Trump touts falling crime rates
in this city, the city of Chicago, after ICE showed
(38:28):
up in full force. Okay, so it's a graphic on Fox.
Rapid Response forty seven on X reposted that graphic. So
here's the graphics since the start of Operation Midway Blitz
in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
That's when they sent ICE in to do.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Enhanced operations there. Since the start of that, which has
been a couple of months now, I think homicides are
down sixteen percent.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Shootings are down thirty five percent, robberies are down forty
one percent.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Carjacking, carjackings are almost cut in half. This comes from
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLoughlin. That's the source of this.
It's on Fox News, is the graphic. They've reposted it
on X. Transit crime is also down twenty percent, folks,
and then Trump posts it on social media.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Here, I don't have time to read that.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It's a truth Social it's in the article if you
want to see that.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
But this is what happens. This is what happens when you.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Have people involved that actually want to fix crime. The
crime problem that we have also headline at the Epic Times.
This is also in the stack of stuff on the
website if you want to view it, take a read.
I don't have time to spend talking about this because
I'm down to the final thirty seconds, So headline here.
(40:02):
One hundred and one missing children in Memphis have been
rescued by US marshals. One hundred and one children in
Memphis have been rescued by US marshals. It is remarkable
what happens. This is Listen, the left is lawless. The
(40:25):
left doesn't really want to address this issue of crime.
As I've said before, the left wants you to feel
guilty and to vote for them to make everything right
somehow on some social plan or whatever that they've got concocted.
They say, no one's responsible for their individual choices. We're
all responsible collectively. But Trump is solving it. I've got
(40:47):
to go, folks.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
SDG
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's home
poor conservative not bitter talk and education. Be advised. The
content of this program has been talking about it. Two
prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you
to lean to the right. And now, coming to you
(00:29):
from the full suite Wealth Studios, here is your conservative
but not bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That is right, my friends, You've successfully and ever so
wisely tuned in to America's home for conservative not bitter talk.
I'm your host, the one and only, the ever so
beloved Todd Huff, the benevolent dictator here behind the microphone,
making socialist dreams come true. I guess finally found that
(00:55):
benevolent dictator here at the Todd Half Show. I'm kidding,
no such thing exists, but yet they're out there searching
with everything in their might to find it so that
their delusional and absolutely broken worldview, morally bankrupt worldview can
be I guess, verified or validated in their minds. We
(01:17):
talked a little bit about that yesterday. I want to
talk today now that President Trump has signed signed the legislation,
the Continuing Resolution now to reopen our government.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I want to talk.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
About a little of the fallout concerning that, a little
of a little bit about what is kind of the
fight about who won and all that kind of stuff.
I've got a clip of John Fetterman on the View.
I've got a clip of John Fetterman talking with Dana
(01:51):
Bash of CNN.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I just wanted to play some of this.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I want to share with you my thoughts on some
of this fallout, and of course we'll do that here,
my friends, in due course today. Before I get too
far down that path, though, friends, you know that one
of the biggest challenges we as conservatives have is finding
ways to ensure that our values align with the things
(02:15):
that we do. I know that you can manage the
things that you do in your own life. This you
know easily. You can decide, you know, what you do
for a career, how you educate your children. Gets a
little bit trickier sometimes when you look at investing your money, though,
because we've been told that you can't necessarily invest in
(02:38):
companies that reflect your values. But my friends, things have changed.
That used to be the case. It was hard to
manage that. But now there are tools and folks out
here like our friends at four eight Financial who can
help you invest in companies that are pushing in the
same direction you are. They specialize in what they call
biblically responsible investing. They screen out companies that go against
(03:03):
your faith and value, so you're not funding things that
go completely against your values your beliefs.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I mean, you know, how if.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The tool is there and we believe certain things, why
would we not take advantage of it? And that's what
for eight financial is here to help us do to
take advantage of those tools. They help do all the
heavy lifting for us. All we have to do. All
we have to do is take an assessment that we
can go complete at for eight financial dot com slash
(03:33):
todd again for eight financial dot com slash todd take
a quick assessment and they'll tell you to what degree
your current investments align with your values for eight financial
dot com slash todd for eight financial, because your money
should work for your values. All right, that being said,
(03:54):
let's get in to the well the content of today's program.
I want to start by the fallout, talking about the
fallout from the shutdown. The shutdown is now over after
forty three days, My friends, this was longer than the
forty days and nights. That well, forty days and nights
(04:20):
on the arc. This took three days longer than that.
Congress has passed temporary funding bill. We went through the
details of this earlier in the week. Essentially three of
the twelve appropriations bills are funded through the fiscal year
that's September thirtieth of twenty twenty six, believe it or not.
(04:41):
The other nine bills are not funded long term. They're
funded through January thirtieth, twenty twenty six. Here we are
nearing the end of November, so we have just a
little over two months before we're going to be staring
this in the eye again. This should be this should
be some thing that Congress begins talking about right now,
(05:03):
talking about right now how they avoid another shut down
on January thirtieth. They should begin negotiating and dealing with
these things. And of course we always have to deal
with the reality the possibility that the Democrat Party is
going to be engaging in political theater here, so just
(05:27):
be prepared for that. So this is a set us
up for a redo, potentially of a fight just like
this at the end of January.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We will see. But what did we learn what did
we learn from.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
This situation. Well, there is a lot of a lot
of this we already knew. Some of this was reconfirmed.
There's a lot of frustration out there the left, I
would tell you, as I've said pretty consistently on this program,
the left is upset that Republicans didn't negotiate on the
(06:06):
Affordable Care Act, the Obamacare subsidies that was not part
of this shutdown, that wasn't part of a clean cr
Republicans have told them that they will have the discussion,
but there's, you know, no guarantee that this will see
its way past the filibuster in the Senate, which of
course requires sixty votes to get passed. So we will
(06:27):
see what happens there. I don't think that these subsidies, well,
who knows what's going to happen with how they put
the focus on the issue and turn up the pressure
on some more moderate leaning Republicans and so forth. But
you know, there's a good chance that these subsidies don't
get passed. Of course, if that happens, even look if
(06:49):
the vote, if it never passes the Senate, which again
is a fairly decent chance, that's going to be the
outcome the extension of these Obamacare so cities, which, again,
if you didn't listen earlier in the week, that's okay,
I'll repeat myself here. So what the fight about is
from the Democrats perspective, or at least what they want
(07:11):
you to think it's about. I don't know how many
people genuinely believe this, and how many people are doing
this because they think it just simply gives them a
political narrative that helps them. Remember, this is a party
that is in absolute disarray. This is a party with
that leadership. This is a party without a rudder. This
is a party that the only time that they seem
to get any traction is when they have these elections,
(07:32):
like say with Zoran mom Donnie in New York, when
the individual is a I mean a leftist, a socialist,
a socialist running the city of New York, and that
doesn't work on the national stage. And so Democrats, the
base of course of the Democrat Party is very socialists,
very very far to the left. Some of them are
(07:54):
godless extremist radical leftists, and so they get excited about
this when it comes time for bigger national elections. They
want to pretend that they're not these socialists because that
typically doesn't work thankfully on the national stage, although they
certainly are gaining some momentum, and of course the candidate
(08:16):
matters a whole lot. A candidate like Zoran mom Donnie
for several reasons. He's articulate, well spoken. They can talk
about his race and ethnicity, make that part of this
if you vote against him and you're voting against people
that look like him, that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
But he became.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
An individual that could carry the socialist message across the
finish line in New York City. So this is the
I guess, the point of tension here Democrats.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
In the.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Base of the Democrat Party, the most energized are those
who are the most extreme radical leftist. These are the
ones who have been stirred into the greatest frenzy over
President Trump and how dangerous he is. These folks are
in the twenty percent that we talked about yesterday. I
don't know if that was in the Todd Talk or
the show now that I say this, but I remember
(09:15):
talking about the I think it was in the Todd
Talk yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Georgia Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
There was a poll done by the Atlanta What is
that the Atlanta Career Journal or Constitution Journal on the
what it is, there's some paper there. They did a
poll and found that twenty percent of Democrat voters in
Georgia find that the number one issue that they believe
exists politically today is that Democrats need to be the
(09:44):
opposition party just to pose President Trump and maga Republicans.
We talked a little bit about that, what does that
look like? What does that mean? They don't know, They've
just been stirred into a frenzy. They have to oppose
Trump at every turn, and these socialists appeal to them
because they do oppose Trump at every turn. They don't,
(10:05):
for example, kind of fit the mold of a John Fetterman,
who's far from a radical leftist. He's a more he's
he's liberal, but he's a Democrat senator who's certainly not
an unreasonable guy. He takes a lot of flak and
I've got a clip from him, which is why I
am mentioning that here off off the top, but.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
This is sorry here, let me make sure I get
the right link.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But this the fallout from this, The fallout from this
is that there's there's tension.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's been exposed.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
There's there's tension within the Democrat Party, there's tension within
the Republican Party. I've shared this with you, you know this,
We've talked about this for some time. There's a fight
for control of both the Democrat and Republican parties, and
and those.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Those two parts.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Those two groups include Democrats who are radically left socialists
in the Democrat Party and more traditional liberals in the
Democrat Party and the Republican Party there are the conservatives
and they're the the more moderate or country club Republicans.
And so there's there's fights within the fights politically in
(11:27):
in this country. And so there's fallout from this this shutdown.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Who do we blame?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Who do we.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think it's clear who we blame.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I've been through that this is this is Senate Democrats
who caused this, and that the proof is in the
putting because the eight Democrat senators that came across the aisle.
By getting eight Democrats to vote for this, it proved
that Democrats were blocking the government reopening.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
So that's an easy one. But who wins this, who
loses this and and so forth? I don't know that
any wins us.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I know the American people didn't win anything through all
this drama. The Democrats hoped that they did. That might
have helped them a little bit in these elections, potentially
helped drive voters to the polls when they can blame
Republicans for the shutdown and so forth.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
But as far as strategically, as far as you know,
doing something that really resonates with the American people, none
of that happened here. None of that happened here. However,
there is certainly tension within the Democrat Party. Sonny Houston
from The View, who you know, listen, I don't watch
the View, I don't care about the View. I talk
about the View because whatever we think about this, there
(12:43):
are people out there that this sort of garbage resonates
with them. This sort of rhetoric, this sort of viewpoint
and worldview which is empty in ways I can't describe
to you here on this program, just absolute emptiness and
utter just confusion, tumult, chaos, you name it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Over there at the View.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
She's angry, She's very, very angry. They had John Fetterman
on the program earlier this week, and I want to
play this exchange John Fetterman listen. A Democrat senator, he'd
been asked many times if he was going to become
a Republican. He says no, but certainly he doesn't fit
(13:26):
into the left's version of his party today. There's a
lot of things that are troubling about John Fetterman. But
I will say this, I give him credit for standing
on what appears to be principles here. I give him
credit for going on this program, not this particular program,
(13:46):
but the program with Sonny hostin over at the view,
knowing that he's going to get treated like this. So
I just want you to listen to this. This is
some of the fallout. This is again, these are two Democrats.
You have one who's Sunny Houston, who's further to the left.
You have one with With Fetterman, who's you know, a liberal,
(14:08):
but a guy that's that's at least reasonable that you
can have a conversation with understood early on that Democrats
caused this to happen, has been has been on the
side of reason many times, much more frequently than most
people on the political left are. So I want you
to hear this conversation. I think it's worth just acknowledging
(14:31):
this is the fight. This is the fallout there. There's
a lot of anger here. So when we get to
whatever this negotiation is going to look like for long
term funding, uh, the possible continuation of these Obamacare subsidies, which,
by the way, I started to tell you the Obamacare subsidies.
We've always had Obamacare subsidies, they were part of the
(14:52):
original package. The problem was during COVID, the government decided
to increase these subsidies. That increase those increased subsidies are
set to expire here at the end of the year,
and so of course Democrats want to make these permanent.
Republicans say, wait a minute, these were temporary. These were
(15:14):
supposed to be the result of you know, COVID and
what we were dealing with at that time. COVID's over.
Let's get back to reality here. Let's not create a
new entitlement or increase the level of entitlement of the American,
well of certain Americans who were using these these payments
(15:35):
and so forth. Remember, this was all created because government
decided to effectively take over healthcare.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And this is what happens.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
There's so many costs that are tacked onto this that
they hide and sneak by you. Let's try to sneak
by all of us, and this is just one of them.
And so there's anger here, there's rage. Sunny Hostin just thinks,
I guess free things should be given to all people.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
There's no I.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Guess day that the money actually has to be collected
and paid. She's perfectly fine spending ourselves into absolute oblivion.
The lovers of big government are happy with people like
Sunny Hostin because she helps create this emotional state of
mind where you say, you gotta just help people, just
(16:22):
give them more, take from the rich, give to those
who who are in quote unquote need, and all the
while you're driving our system of government past the point
of sustainability. That's where we are here, and she's fired
up and angry about it. So that being said, that
being said, I want to play a little bit of
this conversation between Sonny Houston and John Fetterman.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Poll after poll found more Americans on both sides of
the aisle blaming Republicans. Even Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the GOP.
As you mentioned, Democrats have big wins last week, so
you had momentum. Why give in?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I bring a butter knife to a gunfight. Are you
willing to gamble that they dealt yes good faith once
the government reopens, because if that gamble is wrong, half
a million Pennsylvanians that you represent, their healthcare cost will
skyrocket if you are wrong, and I believe you are wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Pause everything.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The reason the reason healthcare costs have skyrocketed, there's a
lot of reasons for this, but one reason is it's
the same reason that education, The cost of education has
skyrocketed over the course of time.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When we'll do anything we.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Can to pay for it out of federal funds, then
there is no what is the factor keeping the cost
down at that point? Listen, there are other factors that
they go into this. There's the games that are being
played with insurance companies. There is the lack of transparent
pricing at the in our health care system. There's a
(18:02):
lot of factors here. But when you know that the
price is going to be paid no matter what the
cost or whatever it is, whatever the price tag, the
government's going to fund it because they've decided healthcare is
a right, which is not a right.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It absolutely is not a right. Listen.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You can get mad at me all you want for
saying that it is not a right. You don't have
a right to something else that someone I should say,
it's something that someone else has to provide you.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
That is not a right. Of course, we should try
to find a.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Way where these things can happen in the private sector,
where people are able to be healthy, where we're not
being poisoned by our food and that sort of stuff,
where we're getting actual health care treatment that doesn't just
involve medications and prescriptions and all that sort of stuff.
We should look at the total picture of health and
(18:54):
not not just pushing pills. There's a lot of factors here,
but the idea the folks running the show knowing that
the government is going to pay for health care, and
that's going to mean more customers, and the government's going
to pay the price no matter what it is.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Effectively, that is.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Certainly a factor here in driving up the cost of
health care. And remember, as I shared with you, these
subsidies were supposed to be temporary through COVID, and this
is a lesson. This should serve as a lesson to everybody.
When you give a new benefit, it becomes nearly impossible
to take it away, even if it is supposedly a
(19:35):
temporary benefit. What you do is you've created a level
of dependency. This is one of the massive problems. This
is one of the reasons why socialism will never work.
It's one of the things the Pilgrims. We're getting close
to Thanksgiving. I'm going to tell the true story of
Thanksgiving here in a couple of weeks in memory of
the late great Rush Limbaugh, who used to do this
(19:56):
every year. That was my favorite episode of his, which
I had a lot of favorite episodes of his, but
it also is the favorite of my favorite episode that
we do every year, the true story of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
And the Pilgrims learned.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
They learned what happens when you have a socialistic mindset.
It is not good for the productivity of the group.
It drives, it creates laziness, it creates dependency. And when
there's incentive, when there's incentive and free markets and capitalism
and so forth, then people have a reason to work
(20:34):
harder or smarter.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
What have you.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And we'll get into all of that, but at the
core of this problem is this mindset.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Socialism fails.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
The more things you have that the government provides for people,
the more thing it's it's going to continue to provide
for people because we've created an expectation, We've created a dependency,
and that is not a good thing. That is not
a loving thing either. Listen, it is not good to
teach someone to be dependent on somebody else. Listen in
(21:08):
one and I don't mean that in some like self
made man approach. I just mean it as we all
are first and foremost responsible for ourselves, for our families.
And if you create this mentality that says someone else
is going to do what you should be taking or
tending to, then that creates a group of people, whatever
(21:32):
number percentage that is, that are not going to do that.
And then if they're they're promised this by people that
they vote for. This is why someone like me would
say people are voting, excuse me, paying off their voters.
They're effectively giving them things for voting for them. And
that's exactly what is happening here. I'm getting to the
end of this first segment. I'm gonna have to take
(21:52):
a break. We'll pick up John Fetterman talking with Sonny
Hostin on the other side of the break. Friends, before
we get too far down that path, Before we just
get to that break, they'll let me remind you my Pillow.
My Pillow's excited to announce their biggest three in one
sale ever. That includes My Pillow bed sheets, That includes

Speaker 2 (22:45):
There's sales on other items discounts as well that you'll
get using my code Todd during the checkout process MyPillow
dot Com promo code Todd. I've got to take a
quick time out, my friends. You're listening here to conservative
not to bitter talk. I'm your host, Todd huff back
in just a minute, Welcome back to my friends. Playing
(23:06):
a little bit of a sound bite, John Fetterman, he's
not even responded yet to sunny hostin I cut it
off before his response. We're going to pick that up
here as we venture through this segment and we play
this sound bite, so Sunny Hostin basically said, you know
you're negotiating with Republicans, there's no guarantee that they're going to.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Fund there.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I guess continue these subsidies for Obamacare. This could affect
half a million Pennsylvanians and the cost of their healthcare
they're going to skyrocket. And remember, she wants you to
think that the problem is the government isn't providing enough assistance.
I want you to know that there's a lot more
(23:51):
going on here and the government is refusing to allow
the private sector to truly solve this problem, the problem
of healthcare.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
There's a lot of problem.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I don't want to make it sound like it's just
an easy snap your fingers sort of fixed. There's a
lot of underlying problems, a lot of systemic problems when
it comes to how this nation deals with healthcare. And
this is the most simplistic, simple minded I should say solution,
(24:20):
meaning well, it's expensive, so give people more money to
pay for it. How about we think about ways to
drive down the cost By the way, giving people money
to pay for this is not the way to drive
down the cost. Free markets will do this. You heard
me say earlier this week, maybe again last week, I
don't remember. Milton Friedman said, on average, government's government running
(24:42):
a certain industry, or government being involved in something typically
causes it, on average to cost twice as much, sometimes more.
And I would assume the government's involvement here would has
caused the health care industry, the health insurance industry, to
be twice as expensive. I don't doubt that one bit.
(25:03):
It might be much more than that. But so she's
asked him, why did you give into this deal? The
polls said you were winning. You can't trust Republicans to negotiate.
You had the leverage. You're going to let Republicans off
the hook. These people are going to lose their subsidies.
These are people that live in your state. What do
you say to this effectively, is what she says to Fetterman,
(25:26):
and Senator Fetterman responds like this.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Well, for first of all, you know MTG is quite
literally the last person in America that I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Take advice or to get to my leadership and values from.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy pants like that,
then that's on them.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And now I don't need, and I don't need a lecture.
I don't need a lecture.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
From from whether it's Bernie or the governor in California,
because they are representing very deep blue blue kinds of
populations and a lot of those things, a lot of
those things were part of the extreme. And now remember
what really needs to win, to win the big win
is involving my state and other states and those things.
(26:08):
And why have we arrived here after the election a
year ago. We want to forget, We got to forget.
Some of the things that cost us that election are
now for me. It's like, that's why I'm trying to
remind people that kinds of the extreme newism, we can't
return to those kind of things and realize we need
to find a way forward. And I would like to
rather than cite MTG, I'm going to cite one of
(26:31):
the new governor elects saying that my election is not
a green light to continue this shutdown, because I promise
you this isn't a political game. It is viewed by
that by many of us, but the reality is forty
two million Americans now not sure where their next meal
is going to come from. And because we vote like
that vote like that, or people that haven't been paid
(26:53):
for five weeks now, and that kinds of chaos.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Okay, So that was his response.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Obviously that was longer conversation, but it gives you an
idea of the rift in the Democrat Party, he says.
Fetterman says, I'm not going to take a lecture. I
don't need a lecture from Bernie Sanders or Governor Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
They're in blue.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
States there, well, they've been radicalized, Fetterman says. Fetterman says, Look,
he didn't say this specifically, but he kind of did.
What works in those states is not going to work
for the Democrat Party as a whole. If we think
that running on spending more money.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Being.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
More progressive, so to speak, if we think that's going
to work, we are in for a rude, rude awakening.
So there's tension and turmoil and tumult and chaos out there.
There is a lot to be a lot to be
had here. Now, I do want to say this as well.
(27:49):
I do want to play one more. I think I
got this clip here. Fetterman was also on CNN. He
was on CNN with Dana and he was talking here
about some of the pushback and the I guess attacks
and so forth from during this shutdown. So he made
(28:16):
a comment, he made a comment here that Dana Bash
is going to ask him about regarding the venom of
the political left and the political right. Remember, Fetterman, while
he's on the left side of the eyse, he's a Democrat,
He's a liberal. He's not a radical leftist. And listen,
(28:37):
if you want to be accepted by the Democrat Party today,
I'm not talking rank and file. I'm talking if you
want to be adored by the media, if you want
to be protected, if you don't want any sort of
criticism lobbed your way from people on the political left,
then you've got to be a radical leftist. Fetterman is
not that. Fetterman saw first hand how for just how
(29:01):
well venomous people in his own party can be. In fact,
he says here that the cruelest comments that he dealt
with didn't come from Republicans, which is not shocking to
me or you, But this was shocking somehow to Dana Bash.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Here's that you said.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Quote, I've drunk deeply of the venom of both the
left and the right. As a connoisseur, I can confirm
that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from the far left.
That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as
an elected Democrat.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Why yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you know, it's been it's
just been my personal experience on this thing. And when
I asked my digital team, I said, you know, you're
we're on all the platforms, you know, really, what's what's
kind of the harshest, what's kind of the most personal?
Speaker 4 (29:52):
And the answer was immediate. He said, oh, blue sky,
it's blue sky.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
And the difference is, I mean the right would say
rough things and names, you know, some names I won't
repeat on TV.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
But but but the.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
On the lift, it was like they want me to die,
or that we're cheering for your next stroke, or that's terrible,
that depression want why couldn't it depression one? And I
hope your kids find you. I mean they even have
like the graphic.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, just listen to some of those things. Listen to
what they say to fetterment.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We hope you die, we hope your kids find you.
We wish depression would have won. Fetterment came out and
said he struggled with depression. It's had a stroke. Maybe
the guy can have that. The left says, we hope
he has another stroke. This is vile, venomous, this is evil,
this is wicked, This has no place. Listen, I said
the same thing when these things were said about Charlie Kirk,
(30:54):
his family, people celebrating his death, the similar similar things
have happened here with Fettermen. Some of the responses he's
gotten from the same people.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
These people on.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The extreme radical left, they are godless. They are just
living deeply in their sin and wickedness. They have no
remorse about anything. They want their political enemies to literally die.
They want their political enemies to die. This is what
happens when government becomes your god.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
This is what happens. You produce.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know, there are religious zealous out there in the world.
You produce religious zealous for politics, You produce a political
zealo whatever you want to call it. But government has
become God for these people. They fall at the at
the foot the altar of government and worship. And if
somebody interferes with what they believe, with what their particular
(31:51):
sectarian beliefs are in this religion of government, they want
you to die. They want you to be sacrificed, They
want you to suffer. This is sick, this is evil,
this is wicked. Vetterman says a little bit more here.
I'll get this in before we have to wrap this up.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
They have like a stroke, you know, you know in
your head. Yeah, and I remember one.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
They claimed the doctor let us down and why did
they have to save his life? I mean just really like,
I just can't imagine people are are wishing, you know,
I wish he dies or I want him to die,
you know, literally cheering for for a stroke. Yeah, And
I don't know what the kind of a place where
that comes from.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yes she did.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
That's that's much different than just.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Calling me a name, you know, And that's that's really
been consistent, you know, in that community online.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
The left is venomous, the godless extreme radical left is
out of control, venomous and completely wicked and depraved.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
What do you mean you don't know? Dana Bash acts
surprised here. I'm just more on this after the brick.
I'm at the end of my segment. Friends, if you're

(34:05):
my friends. Third final segment of the program. I know
it's a sad time, but I want to wrap up
what we were talking about. I also want to hit
on a couple of high points with some of the
things that are happening here in our country that are
good well time, I don't have.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
A lot of time.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
There's always there's more you can read on this on
our website at the Stack of Stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Just go to toddhubshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Go to the Stack for today's episode November thirteenth, and
you'll be able to see You'll be able to see
so many things. I'm going to mention here briefly here
in just a moment before I do that. Have you
ever noticed how some families seem to have a plan
that lasts for generations.

(35:29):
This is going to be a little bit of a
lightning round again. If there's something I say that you
want more information on, it's on the website.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
First.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
First, First First, Danabash acts like she doesn't know what
the world why people would say these things to Fetterman.
She can't be serious. She can't possibly be serious. People
in the media have stirred up hatred for Donald Trump
the Republican Party for a decade now, even longer.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
But they've really ratcheted, ratcheted it up. It's tough to
say here.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Over the past decade, since Trump's been running for office,
in office, out of office, and out speaking whatever the
deal was, for ten years now, it has been ratcheted up.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
She cannot possibly be serious.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
She absolutely knows that they have created this monster. Now
they didn't completely create it. The person has to have
this desire, this this desire to do evil and wickedness
in their heart, but they've certainly provided the fuel for that.
She can't possibly be serious. This is not confusing to
(36:35):
anyone who pays attention, who has half of a brain.
Number one, number two, there's an article. It's in the
stack of stuff. It's from the Daily Caller headline. Well,
the question that they addressed is did Republicans cave? Did
Republican's cave in this negotiated settlement by softening the plans
(36:59):
that Trump's administration had to shrink the government workforce because
it undid some of the Some of the layoffs were
supposed to be permanent riffs, and the deal said that
all those rifts were going to be no one could
be riffed. Everybody was going to be brought back, and
(37:20):
there couldn't be any more rifts until I think it's.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
The end of January. So look, this is I mentioned
this early on in this shutdown, probably forty days ago,
maybe five six weeks ago, that this was going to
be something that Trump was going to have the opportunity
to do. We were, as usual, ahead of that curve
ball here told you what was coming.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
They took those steps. Republicans undid that by negotiating or
working with this negotiated deal. Was that caving? Is that necessary?
You can read more on the website. What I really
want to get to and just touch on here in
the final segment. Again, I wish I had more time.
I simply didn't don't, friends, there has been such tremendous success.
(38:06):
I don't know Trump Trump posted. I think Trump posted
crime statistics on probably truth Social. I don't have that
in front of me. I just had this article in
front of me that shows Trump touts falling crime rates
in this city, the city of Chicago, after ICE showed
(38:28):
up in full force. Okay, so it's a graphic on Fox.
Rapid Response forty seven on X reposted that graphic. So
here's the graphics since the start of Operation Midway Blitz
in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
That's when they sent ICE in to do.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Enhanced operations there. Since the start of that, which has
been a couple of months now, I think homicides are
down sixteen percent.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Shootings are down thirty five percent, robberies are down forty
one percent.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Carjacking, carjackings are almost cut in half. This comes from
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLoughlin. That's the source of this.
It's on Fox News, is the graphic. They've reposted it
on X. Transit crime is also down twenty percent, folks,
and then Trump posts it on social media.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Here, I don't have time to read that.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It's a truth Social it's in the article if you
want to see that.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
But this is what happens. This is what happens when you.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Have people involved that actually want to fix crime. The
crime problem that we have also headline at the Epic Times.
This is also in the stack of stuff on the
website if you want to view it, take a read.
I don't have time to spend talking about this because
I'm down to the final thirty seconds, So headline here.
(40:02):
One hundred and one missing children in Memphis have been
rescued by US marshals. One hundred and one children in
Memphis have been rescued by US marshals. It is remarkable
what happens. This is Listen, the left is lawless. The
(40:25):
left doesn't really want to address this issue of crime.
As I've said before, the left wants you to feel
guilty and to vote for them to make everything right
somehow on some social plan or whatever that they've got concocted.
They say, no one's responsible for their individual choices. We're
all responsible collectively. But Trump is solving it. I've got
(40:47):
to go, folks.
Speaker 3 (40:48):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
