Todd breaks down the ongoing government shutdown and plays soundbites you need to hear—Democratic leaders acknowledging the shutdown as “leverage.” Hear clips from Rep. Catherine Clark, Sen. Chris Coons, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse as Todd explains why the Senate stalemate is intentional and how SNAP benefits are being used in the narrative. We also touch on media accountability, the “truth police” idea floated by Obama, and the entitlement mindset fueling social-media threats. Straight talk on the Constitution, liberty, and what it will take to end the Schumer-led stalemate—plus a reminder to stay grounded in truth, not fear.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
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 talkumented to prevents and even cure liberalism,
and listening may cause you to lean to the right.
(00:28):
And now, coming to you from the full suite Wealth Studios,
here's your Conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, my friends, this battle, this fight over the
government shutdown is continuing. I want to play some soundbites
from well, people on the left, people in the Democrat
Party who have basically admitted to the media this is
wild to me that they are intentionally trying to well,
(00:59):
I guess you could say, get as much of the
political advantage they can, as much leverage as possible from
this shutdown, telling us that they have I mentioned this yesterday,
but I thought some of you aren't going to believe me.
Some of you believe that this is hyperbole. Some of
you believe that the Democrats really aren't rooting or rooting
(01:24):
for or using the suffering of everyday Americans. But the
truth is they are in this shutdown. That's what they're doing,
and that is where we're headed. Today. I also want
to spend a little bit of time. The House Oversight
Committee has introduced or released a what I want to say,
(01:47):
a report as Odds hands me a paper here. They've
released the report outlining the ways the previous administration had
hid the mental fitness of former President Joseph Robinette's bribery.
I'll get into that as well, in time permitting. I
(02:07):
did this in the Todd Talk today because I didn't
think I would have time to get to it. But
I at least want to put it out there, and
for those of you that want to know what I'm
talking about, you can listen to the Todd Talk. I
might write a little bit more about this. In fact,
I think I will. If we don't get to it,
I will commit to that today. I will write about
it in the newsletter, which is free. You can get
(02:28):
that on our website, totteshow dot com. It's called the
Inner Circle. Obama is out there telling folks that the
I guess the government needs some truth police. There needs
to be some regulation, he says, to make sure that
truth is being told by the media, and I guess
(02:50):
on social media as well. So that's where we're headed.
I doubt I'll get to that last one. I'll try.
I will try. If I don't, the Todd talk is
about it and talks about that, and I'll write about
it in the newsletter if we get to it. Probably
won't do that all right, OS is shifting my papers here,
(03:10):
my friends. I don't know what's going on here behind
the scenes of OZ, but I do whatever she puts
down in front of me here. Friends, one of the
biggest challenges that you and I have as conservatives is
finding ways to ensure that our values align with the
things that we do. And it's not because we're just
being ridiculous and making everything political. We're responding to a
(03:34):
world that has been made, that has been created in
which everything is political, where we have people who are
in well certain businesses, who take profits from what we
use or from what we buy them to do for us,
whether that's a provide, a product, or a service, whatever,
(03:55):
and then they take the profits and they fund the
causes that we are absolutely positive against. It's hard to
figure out how to do this, especially.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's why we have Freedom Marketplace. It's also why it's
also why for eight Financial it's here to help you
know how to invest your money, so you're not funding
those causes. I love what they're doing. It's what's what
they called biblical responsible investing. They screen out companies that
don't align with your faith and your values, so you're
(04:26):
not funding things to go completely against what you believe in.
This kind of stands to sense and to reason in
this world that we are living in today. They do
the heavy lifting, helping you align your investments with your purpose,
your goals. The best part is they have a tool.
They have a tool that you can go use right now.
It's at four to eight financial dot com slash todd.
(04:48):
It is free to use. I've done this. It's quick
and painless. You complete a quick assessment and then they
will tell you to what degree your current investments reflect
your values. Maybe you're funding organizations that are in turn
funding things that you strongly disagree with. Whatever the case,
my friends, check it out for eightfinancial dot com slash todd. Heck,
(05:09):
you might find out that your investments are perfectly aligned
with your values. That would be a good thing to
know for financial because your money should work for your values.
All right, let's now get to this. I said, yesterday,
we spent a lot of time yesterday talking about some
things going on with the the government shutdown. By the way,
(05:33):
we're on day number thirty. Sorry, I had to tell
uh something about all kinds of crazy things happening here today.
Hold on, So the government shutdown, day number thirty, Day
number thirty in the government shutdown, and it's of course
(05:55):
the Democrats shutdown. I've mentioned this, it's the Schumer shutdown
in particular in the Senate. And I know some people think, well,
you know, we're being a little too hard. This is hyperbole. No,
it's not. It's not hyperbole. This is what they want.
I you know, I saw this a couple of weeks ago.
I did not. I did not. We haven't talked about
(06:17):
it yet. And it's not because for anything other than
there's just a lot going on. This is uh, this
clips all over the place. But I'm pulled. I've pulled
it up here in an article from town Hall headline. Here,
this Democratic lawmaker just admitted how they feel about those
affected by the government shut down. Representative Catherine Clark, she's
(06:41):
the Democratic whip from the People's Republic of Massachusetts. She
sat down with Fox News Fox News Chad Pergrim and
she admitted. She admitted, it's it's wild stuff. I mean,
this sort of thing used to be politically devastating for you.
(07:05):
In today's world, they have so stirred up people to
hate Trump, to be afraid of all these wild and
crazy conspiracy theories and everything else. They have so created
this spirit of fear that people are just they're bought in.
They're completely they just have bought into this narrative, and
(07:27):
they will do nothing. They won't question it. They are
committed to trusting whatever the Democrats tell them, even when
they tell them in plain language that they are using
the hurt of people as leverage. This is literally what
she said. I'm gonna play it for you. This was
(07:50):
posted last week. I think this interview might have happened
last well, not this past weekend, the weekend before. But
I'm playing this now because again, some people are out
there are still insisting that this is a Republican shutdown.
I listen. I am no committed Republican here. I am
(08:11):
a conservative. I care about the Constitution, I care about liberty.
I support those politicians who want to push in the
right direction. You can't, you know, sometimes it's difficult. Sometimes
you got to say The best I've got right now
is this option. Sometimes there's candidates you can get more
excited about. I don't know, But the reality is I'm
(08:31):
not here to defend the Republican Party. My job, in fact,
I wrote about this yesterday in the newsletter. My job
is not to help people win an election. In fact,
when we will invite people on this program who are
well who may not agree with what we say and
things that I might not agree with them, I might
agree with zero percent. That's unlikely, but it might be
(08:53):
single digits. Regarding the number of the percentage of things
I agree with these guests about, it might be a
very high number, it might be anything in between. But
this program is to help people. I've made this abundantly clear,
to help people here and receive truth. And I wrote
in the newsletter, I have rules for guests because we're
starting to get more guests. We've got some We've got
(09:15):
people that have reached out to us that might surprise you,
but we have we have rules here. My rules are
to let the guests talk. My rules are to never
engage in, you know, this this personal attack sort of thing.
I've got some rules, but one of the rules is
(09:37):
just because I bring you on the show doesn't mean
that I am endorsing you. It just means that you
have something to bring to the table, as far as
something that interests me, which if it interests me and
I do my job right, it should be interesting to
you as we discuss it. Because the mission here is
to help others here and receive truth. We're trying to
(09:58):
get to truth, my friends, and I don't just mean
factual truth. I mean foundational bedrock truths upon which we
should be making big decisions right. Truth's about the universe,
about the way life works this side of heaven. Truth
that we can trust in, that can be well, that's
(10:20):
been revealed to us, that we sometimes have to be
reminded of. Sometimes it might be a new revelation or
a lesson, but regardless, you have to have these engaged
discussions to get to truth. You can't silence a part
of it. You can't prop up one side and try
to destroy the other. And you know, play on an
(10:41):
unlevel playing foot. I want these folks to have a
way to speak to you, but it is in no way, shape, manner,
or form meant to be an endorsement of the person.
That's not the point of this, The point of this
is to get to get to the truth, get to
the bedrock, bottom line truth. And this upset some people
(11:01):
because there might be someone I agree with three percent
of the time who says something that is absolutely true,
and I'm going to agree with that truth. And if
it's a person who has who comes from the other
side of the political aisle, some people who are politically
focused first will say, Wow, you shouldn't be giving that
(11:22):
person a platform. And I would say, look, I think
it's good that we're actually discussing truth and we're trying
to get people to agree and then move in a
direction in which we can act in such a way
as a government, as a society that reflects and embraces
that truth. And so anyway, elections are for the politicians
(11:48):
to win. So Republicans ought to have a field day
with this what I'm about to play you here. I
don't know how much it's been used out there yet,
but this is literally what we're up against in our government.
Where they believe that they are justified, that they are
in a position of moral authority, they have the moral
(12:10):
high ground to leverage the suffering of Americans suffering that
they have caused. Now, she's a representative, she's not a senator,
so technically she can't solve this. I will tell you
she didn't vote for this in the House, so the
continuing resolution, so she would have done the same thing
in the Senate. So she still is the problem. It's
(12:32):
just that she's not in a position to get us
here right now into this position because it's the Democrat
senators who have put us here. Anyway, listen to what
she says. I'm just gonna let her talk. I guess
she thinks that this is explaining rationally the position of
today's Democrats. But just listen.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I mean, the shutdowns are terrible, and of course there
will be you know, families that are going to suffer.
We take that responsibility very seriously, do you. But it
is one of the few leverage times we have.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, we take it seriously. But it's one of the
few what she say, one of the few leverage times
that we have. That's just I don't it's butchered how
she says it, But she's basically saying, look, we have
an opportunity here to leverage the hurt of people to
get what we want politically. That's what she's just said.
We know, in fact, it's even worse than that, we
(13:31):
take it seriously. In fact, didn't she say at the
beginning she takes uh did she say responsibility? I don't
know if that's but it seemed to me that in
a way she was almost betraying the narrative to a
point because she was saying, it seemed to me that
they're responsible for causing this, which is true. We're responsible
for causing this, but hey, we got some leverage here,
(13:53):
so we're going to take it. And you know, I'll
apologize if it caused your family great hurt and harm,
but it gives us. It's one of the few points
in time in which we have some political leverage here
as the minority party in Washington, d c. And so
we're gonna make the most of this. We're going to
not let a crisis, as ram Emmanuel has said in
the past, We're not going to let a crisis go
(14:15):
to waste. That's what she just said. I mean, there's
no two ways about it. But it's not just her.
Soon after she made these comments, Senator Chris coon said
basically effectively the same sort of thing. Chris Coons was
(14:36):
on looks like ceasefire here, and he was asked specifically.
Now this had been reposted, retweeted if you will buy
the Senate gop Senate Republicans, and the caption for the
post of this video says this, Chris Coons believes that
denying Americans their Snap benefits may be quote unpleasant, but
(15:00):
it's worth doing because it gives Democrats political leverage. Absolutely
deranged is what the Republican Senates. The Senate Republicans wrote
when they posted this video. Here's the video itself, Chris
Coons saying much the same thing that we just heard
in the previous segment. Republicans control the House, the Senate,
and the White House. Frankly, this is our only moment
(15:23):
of leverage. And although a very unpleasant tool to use,
the clip cuts off there. So it's unpleasant, it's got
some leve They've got some leverage. You know, they're they're victims.
You notice that. Look, we can't we have no political
power here. Unfortunately, we're forced to do this. We're forced
to take away the snap benefits or whatever else they're
(15:45):
they're they're they're causing meltdowns about in the media in
our nation's capital by the way. More and more media
figures are catching on to this, and they're calling out
these Democrats on their programs, and I love it. It's
exactly I mean, it's exactly what needs to happen. It's
something that rarely happens when there's accountability required from the media. Well,
(16:09):
the media is requiring it of of the folks who
are actually responsible for this in this case, of course,
the Senate's Democrats. But this is something that they've I mean,
they've talked about this. This is apparently their strategy. This
is apparently what they've figured out in some messaging with
the with the folks who determine how to communicate the
(16:36):
messages the narrative of the Democrat Party. Here's Senator Sheldon
white House walking through the halls of Congress. He looks
like he's being approached by a citizen journalist of some
sort I see here on this video, it says Nicholas
(16:57):
Molossi b A. Las Y. So he approaches Senator white
House and asks about this very thing, and Senator Sheldon
Whitehouse responds much like these first two individuals did in
these previous clips. Listen for yourself.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Why are working families the leverage of Democrats need to
get Obamacare fixed. You get the Republicans to fix Obamacare.
Why is that the place you have to go that far.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's the only lever we have, and frankly, it wouldn't
be lever at all if Republicans were being reasonable and
doing exactly what they should be doing for the sake
of their own constituents, so many of whom depend on
the affordable care.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Petis and then he walks on the elevator to go
up to a meeting or his office or whatever. But
that's what they're telling us. My friends, don't tell me
this is not a Democrat shutdown. Don't tell me that
they're not politicizing the hurt of America people. That's literally
in their message now. Their message is we have to
(18:05):
cause this hurt because we're trying to get leverage to
prevent more hurt from people losing their Obamacare subsidies, or
whatever narrative of the moment they want to push on
the American people. But that, no doubt is what they
are saying. This is a Democrat shutdown, the Schumer shutdown.
(18:27):
This is intentional. They are trying to get political bonus
points from the hurt of American citizen. Now, listen, you
may have problems, you may have problems with some of
these programs, government expenses overall, that's not even the point
right now. This is just not the way to deal
with it. They are throwing a tantrum. They are petulant children.
(18:50):
These folks that I've played, Look and I welcome if
you're a Democrat, a rank and file Democrat. I played
yesterday that caller who called in to c Span who
basically said what I'm saying right now is the Democrats
who have caused this. She's a a lifelong Democrat. I
believe she was a union leader in Philadelphia, and she said,
(19:12):
this is the Democrats creation, this is the Democrat's fault.
They want a political point to score here, and again,
what are they trying to do. They're trying to stir
people up into a frenzy and they're trying to get
people to somehow move to the Democrat party, move to
the Democrats side of things. I don't know if you've
seen polling data, but polling has not been good for
(19:35):
the Democrats here. The polling has been moving toward the Republicans.
The Republicans are winning this fight. The Republicans are standing
on business. Some people would say that they are. What
the Republicans are trying to do here is exactly what
needs to be done. You have to hold the line.
And again I'm telling you they're going to have to
(19:56):
consider I mentioned this last week, they're going to have
to consider the so called nuclear option, where they say
that basically the filibuster cannot be applied to avoiding these
continuing resolution bills and to shut the government down. That
is going to have to be a serious point of
consideration here as they are dealing with petulant children who
(20:17):
aren't getting their way, who have no political power, but
they have enough political power to prevent this from passing
the Senate. And that's why we're in this particular condition
that we're in now. People who are receiving SNAP benefits.
SNAP recipients have been threatening on social media to loot
(20:41):
if they lose their benefits. Now, this is again what
we're being told and reality is not exactly aligned, but
the narrative is the narrative. What they're saying out there
is that forty I think it's forty two million Americans
are going to lose their NAP benefits. I think as
(21:02):
soon as Saturday. Now that's a little deceiving if you
look at the numbers. Who's actually receiving the benefits in
all this? But that's the narrative, and some of these
folks have taken the social media apparently and have said
we're going to loot if we don't get our way,
(21:27):
not kidding. That's where we're gonna head next. As I
get us to the end of this the first segment
of today's program, Friends, let me tell you My Pillow

(22:56):
gotta take your time out though, quick time out back
in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. I mentioned
before the break here that there are Snap recipients out there.
This is an article again in town Hall Today. You
(23:16):
can always find the articles that we reference here in
today's Stack of stuff. Hat tip to the late great
Rush Limbaugh headline here. Snap users erupt on TikTok, promise
looting sprees if food stamps are cut off. If you
(23:38):
want a definition of what an entitlement mindset creates, here
it is now. This is not every person. This is
where this is where you lose a lot of people
on the left. You lose a lot of people on
the left because if you point out the truth here
that some people are prepared to do what I'm about
to well, are at least threatening to do what I'm
about to describe to you, They'll be quick to say, well, yeah,
but that's not everybody. These are the bad excit amples,
(24:00):
these are the bad apples. Okay, I will grant you
that I understand that, But I also understand that entitlements
create an entitlement. Entitlement mindset. You have to actively fight
against that. That is the default position. The default position
is something is given, something then becomes expected. I don't
(24:21):
know if you've seen I mean, you can ask you
can ask employers this. And I know this again, I
may have this audience is probably filled with a much
higher percentage of high quality employees than you'll find in
the general population. People who are on the conservative side
of things take personal responsibility. So I'm not saying that
(24:48):
this applies to you. I mean, if it does, I
would say, hopefully change the mindset. But it's not necessarily
directed at you or any It's just to point out,
I think, what's a truth. And you've probably seen business
owners that they'll tell you when when you start doing
(25:10):
things that are not in your agreement. Let's say you
give a big Christmas bonus at the end of the year,
just as an example, it becomes an expectation of a
lot of people. Now I'll ask you this. I remember,
I remember years ago, and I want to sell I'm
want to be up up front here. I only did
(25:30):
this because I was told to do this by my well,
my mom and my grandma. A. I was a kid,
I didn't even I don't know no better. B I
didn't appreciate it the way that I should have. But
there used to be a gentleman in our community. And
I don't remember when this was. I don't remember how
I was little, I mean elementary. I think maybe I
(25:53):
might have been an early junior high and I remember
there was a gentleman. I believe he used to be
a principal in this school. He would send out I
think it was savings bonds if you made the honor roll.
So he'd read the paper or whatever it was back
in the day, find these kids who were on the
honor roll and send them. It wasn't a huge amount
but he didn't have to do any of it, a
(26:14):
very kind gesture. He was an educator, he cared about
academic success, and I was on the honor roll and
I got one of these savings bonds from him. His
name was Nile's Denny, and I think he used to
be the principal of the school, maybe when my mom
was in school, and he had retired, but he education
(26:39):
remained important to him. And I remember I got that
and I thought, oh, that's nice or whatever. I was
a teenage kid, didn't think much about it. And then
I remember my mom had asked my grandma or excuse me,
my grandma had asked my mom if I had sent
in written a thank you letter or a card. And
so Mom asked me, and I said, you know, I
(26:59):
know I didn't, and so at their request, I did.
So it wasn't me. I want you to understand, I'm
not saying I'm the one that did that. I mean
I'm the one that wrote it. But it wasn't my idea.
It didn't even occur to me. The point is is
that there is something that happens with people at some point.
(27:20):
If you start getting stuff for free, you get these
bonuses it gets kind of baked in. Sometimes there's not
a proper amount of appreciation, which is what I had
in that instance, or understanding about someone had to work
for that, someone had to produce that to give that.
I did not. I didn't earn it, even though you
could say, well, yes, Todd, you did because you were
(27:41):
on the honor roll. No, there's nothing there that said
I should have gotten a benefit. A savings bond, I
think is what it was because of that. That's not
the case at all. He did it out of the
good nature of his heart. I didn't earn anything. And
there's this instant, you know, human we move towards entitlement quickly,
(28:03):
and so that's not all these recipients. I want to
be clear. Some people are grateful. Some people understand that
this is the only thing that's preventing them from major
problems with well at least having to find other solutions,
maybe food banks or other folks who help get food
to people who are in need in the community. But
(28:24):
this is something that no one has the right to.
I know, we've it's been there for so long, We've
put so much money towards it that people think it's
just it's an automatic given that they're entitled to it
because they're an American. That's completely the wrong way of
looking at it. It is something that yes, has been
(28:45):
established by rule of law, by force of law, and
they're taking tax dollars from people by force to then
fund this, and it's okay. I'm not here to just
uniformly across the board criticize it. What I am here
to criticize is the mentality that entitlements create. An entitlement
(29:06):
mentality creates what I'm about to read for you at
town Hall excuse me. At town hall dot com. Dimitri
Bolt wrote this article yesterday several people on the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance program that SNAP, by the way, took to TikTok,
threatening to riot and loot if their food stamps food
(29:30):
stamp payments don't continue through November first. That's just in
two days, my friends. I'm going to read some of
what he's cited in his article here. I'm gonna read
it just as it's written. Do my best. I'm gonna
tell you straight wait, I'm gonna tell y'all straight up
like this. I just got that text that the link
(29:52):
is definitely cut the blank off for November, y'all better
stay the blank out of my way in these stores
because I'm walking out with carts and I'm not paying
for extrement. One Snap recipient raged, Another said, you know what,
(30:12):
since they want to take food stamps away, I'm gonna
go to blanking Walmart, grab anything I blanking want, and
let's see, put that extrement right in the basket and
walk right up out that b word. I'm not paying
(30:34):
for a blank thing. These are actual quotes. Nearly one
in eight Americans. The article says about forty two million
people rely on Snap for assistance. The program provides an
average of three hundred and fifty per month through and
fifty dollars per month and is distributed to recipients on
debit cards. The money can be used to buy groceries
and other food products at supermarkets and convenience stores. Due
(30:59):
to the shut down, the funding for those benefits is
set to be cut off on November first, that is Saturday.
Here's another quote. I'm just having these quotes here we go.
I'm I'm gonna be stealing like it ain't no tomorrow.
I'm gonna have one of my cousins with me. That'll
punch your blank so so hard you'll think a jet
(31:22):
to holiday hit your b backside if you ain't gonna
walk out that store. Another woman blamed President Trump, who
has let Democrats fall flat on their face for shutting
down the government for the lack of funding. This woman said,
Trump done blanked up man. Just the amount of exploitives
(31:46):
that have to be tossed in here is remarkable. Let's
just make this clear. Okay, he's talking about people not
getting food stamps in November and probably not in December.
He better get ready because it's about to go down.
What you what you're gonna learn is you don't play
with black people's food stamps. Okay, so get ready because
(32:07):
people are about to just start taking excrement. By the way,
I'm just reading the words here. I have no idea
about people's race, ethnicity, gender. I'm just reading the words
unless it says it's a woman or this or that.
But a lot of expletives, a lot of a lot
(32:31):
of anger, a lot of entitlement, a lot of misunderstanding.
And I remember too, if you listen to the Democrats
still point out that Republican states, these poorer states in
the South, you know, they'll they'll often point to poor
white communities for this and say that this is a
Republican voters and Trump base and so forth. They're all
(32:51):
over the place here. It doesn't matter to me who
this who these folks are, but it doesn't matter personally.
But this is cause this whole thing has been caused
by the Democrats. So gotta take a break here, my friend.
Let's face it, living with discomfort is tough. While prescription
medications can help, they often come with a long list
of side effects, not to mention the risk of dependency.
(33:14):
That's why more people are exploring natural options like Kreatum
from Christopher's Organic botanicals, no synthetics, no chemicals, no surprise,
is just natural. Excuse me, honest, natural creative. There's nothing
else in there, my friends. It's been used for generations.
Real creative is safe when it's pure and it's handled properly.
(33:35):
Problems come from synthetic blends and contaminated junk and people
who are, by the way, prepared to do whatever it
can to push a product. Christopher's keeps it real, keeps
it clean, and keeps you informed. Start with their Creator
Pack Creative. The Starter pack use code todd have to
save ten percent. Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot dot com. That's
Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. I gotta run. That's a mouthful.
(33:58):
Quick time out, my friends. Back in just a minute.
Welcome back, my friends. Last segment here of today's program,
talking about the threats of people out there on TikTok
social media threatening to riot and loot if Snap benefits
are cut off by Democrats by Chuck Schumer and the
(34:20):
Senate Democrats this weekend November first, and I'm just sharing
those with you. I'm sharing with you the anger, the rage,
the expletives that are in all of these, the way
that these are just written, the aggressiveness just I mean,
(34:47):
it's it's really a sad situation what the entitlement mentality
has created, along with the Democrats trying to stir this
pot up. I mentioned someone someone's post that made it
about race. These things don't even cross my mind, but
that was what the last person that I read said.
(35:08):
Don't take black people's some benefits, their food away. Whoever's
getting these, by the way, no one's I just this
whole thing is just messed up. The way the education system,
the entitlement, the arrogancet, the anger, the self righteousness. These
(35:30):
folks believe the people who are threatening to do this,
they believe that they are doing something that's moral and
virtuous by threatening to riot, thinking that someone owes them something.
This is just a mess in every conceivable way. It's pathetic, really, friends,
(35:52):
last segment here, You've worked hard, You've made smart choices,
and now it's about making sure that effort counts not
just for today, but for the future. Full Sweet Wealth

of figuring out how to secure enough wealth so that
you can continue to fund whatever lunacy and entitlements Congress
has coming down the road for you so you can

(36:58):
have gotten and the mismanaged of this country, my friends.
But you're trying to build wealth, take care of your family,
act responsibly, build your legacy, secure your future. Full sweet
wealth can help you do that, my friends. I told
you I'm going to write about in the newsletter today.
I won't have time to get to Obama's comments, his
(37:19):
comments about trying to basically to have the government come
in and ensure that the media is being honest because
of some regulations and some oversight. I guess we're gonna
talk about that in free speech. I'll write a little
bit about that. I won't have time to get to it,
but I want to spend a little bit more time
(37:40):
here just as as we go see if there's any anymore. Yeah,
there's some of this I can't well, that's about all
that I can get to with that. I can't play
a clip. But the entitlement mentality is a real thing,
(38:01):
and there are people who are threatening to loot and riot,
and this I mean, we probably have to take it
seriously in the sense that there are people who are
already anger, enraged, or angry, and they'll use this as
an opportunity to do this very thing. The entitlement is real,
the expectation that someone else provides for them is real. Again,
(38:25):
this is not every person. Please don't misunderstand me. But
if you don't actively guard against that mindset, a mindset
of entitlement, you know, if you don't have a mindset
of gratitude, a mindset that says, you know, what, I'm
being provided something that I didn't I don't deserve. If
you don't actively pursue that mindset, this is the default mindset.
(38:48):
And when we teach people basically the things that we're
teaching them today, which in many ways it just leads
to more depravity like this. This is not they're not
on the moral side of this of this argument. Yes,
the situation regarding we shouldn't be in this position right
(39:10):
now because of this stupid shutdown. It's also true that
the spending for these programs is out of control. It's
also true that if you dig deeply into some of
the numbers on any program, you'll find that a lot
of people, a lot of people who are receiving benefits
aren't even supposed to be here. They'll deny that, of course,
(39:31):
but if you dig deeply, you'll find that in many,
many cases, it's just an absolute, utter disaster. And you know,
on one hand, from an earthly perspective, I don't know
what the way out of this is. I mean, I
do know you have to enforce the law. If people
do loot and riot, they have to be arrested, they
(39:54):
have to face charges. We have to hold Congress accountable
for what they've done. Here the short term, we should
get the government reopened so that we're not intentionally they're
intentionally doing this. I mean, this is what the Democrats want.
They think angry people make them hate Republicans, make them
cause unrest in the streets, and they want this. They
(40:15):
long for this. It's sickening and sad, but this is
what they're really after. It's a dangerous mentality, a dangerous ideology.
So we need the government open now so that this
chaos stops now. But we also have to fix the
underlying problems that we're funding all this stuff this country.
This country's bankrupt in many many ways. There's gonna have
(40:38):
to be dramatic changes to what we spend our money on,
which is gonna have to affect some of this stuff
as well. Anyway, we've got to mess here with my friends.
We need Jesus more than anything. I gotta go, 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 talkumented to prevents and even cure liberalism,
and listening may cause you to lean to the right.
(00:28):
And now, coming to you from the full suite Wealth Studios,
here's your Conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, my friends, this battle, this fight over the
government shutdown is continuing. I want to play some soundbites
from well, people on the left, people in the Democrat
Party who have basically admitted to the media this is
wild to me that they are intentionally trying to well,
(00:59):
I guess you could say, get as much of the
political advantage they can, as much leverage as possible from
this shutdown, telling us that they have I mentioned this yesterday,
but I thought some of you aren't going to believe me.
Some of you believe that this is hyperbole. Some of
you believe that the Democrats really aren't rooting or rooting
(01:24):
for or using the suffering of everyday Americans. But the
truth is they are in this shutdown. That's what they're doing,
and that is where we're headed. Today. I also want
to spend a little bit of time. The House Oversight
Committee has introduced or released a what I want to say,
(01:47):
a report as Odds hands me a paper here. They've
released the report outlining the ways the previous administration had
hid the mental fitness of former President Joseph Robinette's bribery.
I'll get into that as well, in time permitting. I
(02:07):
did this in the Todd Talk today because I didn't
think I would have time to get to it. But
I at least want to put it out there, and
for those of you that want to know what I'm
talking about, you can listen to the Todd Talk. I
might write a little bit more about this. In fact,
I think I will. If we don't get to it,
I will commit to that today. I will write about
it in the newsletter, which is free. You can get
(02:28):
that on our website, totteshow dot com. It's called the
Inner Circle. Obama is out there telling folks that the
I guess the government needs some truth police. There needs
to be some regulation, he says, to make sure that
truth is being told by the media, and I guess
(02:50):
on social media as well. So that's where we're headed.
I doubt I'll get to that last one. I'll try.
I will try. If I don't, the Todd talk is
about it and talks about that, and I'll write about
it in the newsletter if we get to it. Probably
won't do that all right, OS is shifting my papers here,
(03:10):
my friends. I don't know what's going on here behind
the scenes of OZ, but I do whatever she puts
down in front of me here. Friends, one of the
biggest challenges that you and I have as conservatives is
finding ways to ensure that our values align with the
things that we do. And it's not because we're just
being ridiculous and making everything political. We're responding to a
(03:34):
world that has been made, that has been created in
which everything is political, where we have people who are
in well certain businesses, who take profits from what we
use or from what we buy them to do for us,
whether that's a provide, a product, or a service, whatever,
(03:55):
and then they take the profits and they fund the
causes that we are absolutely positive against. It's hard to
figure out how to do this, especially.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's why we have Freedom Marketplace. It's also why it's
also why for eight Financial it's here to help you
know how to invest your money, so you're not funding
those causes. I love what they're doing. It's what's what
they called biblical responsible investing. They screen out companies that
don't align with your faith and your values, so you're
(04:26):
not funding things to go completely against what you believe in.
This kind of stands to sense and to reason in
this world that we are living in today. They do
the heavy lifting, helping you align your investments with your purpose,
your goals. The best part is they have a tool.
They have a tool that you can go use right now.
It's at four to eight financial dot com slash todd.
(04:48):
It is free to use. I've done this. It's quick
and painless. You complete a quick assessment and then they
will tell you to what degree your current investments reflect
your values. Maybe you're funding organizations that are in turn
funding things that you strongly disagree with. Whatever the case,
my friends, check it out for eightfinancial dot com slash todd. Heck,
(05:09):
you might find out that your investments are perfectly aligned
with your values. That would be a good thing to
know for financial because your money should work for your values.
All right, let's now get to this. I said, yesterday,
we spent a lot of time yesterday talking about some
things going on with the the government shutdown. By the way,
(05:33):
we're on day number thirty. Sorry, I had to tell
uh something about all kinds of crazy things happening here today.
Hold on, So the government shutdown, day number thirty, Day
number thirty in the government shutdown, and it's of course
(05:55):
the Democrats shutdown. I've mentioned this, it's the Schumer shutdown
in particular in the Senate. And I know some people think, well,
you know, we're being a little too hard. This is hyperbole. No,
it's not. It's not hyperbole. This is what they want.
I you know, I saw this a couple of weeks ago.
I did not. I did not. We haven't talked about
(06:17):
it yet. And it's not because for anything other than
there's just a lot going on. This is uh, this
clips all over the place. But I'm pulled. I've pulled
it up here in an article from town Hall headline. Here,
this Democratic lawmaker just admitted how they feel about those
affected by the government shut down. Representative Catherine Clark, she's
(06:41):
the Democratic whip from the People's Republic of Massachusetts. She
sat down with Fox News Fox News Chad Pergrim and
she admitted. She admitted, it's it's wild stuff. I mean,
this sort of thing used to be politically devastating for you.
(07:05):
In today's world, they have so stirred up people to
hate Trump, to be afraid of all these wild and
crazy conspiracy theories and everything else. They have so created
this spirit of fear that people are just they're bought in.
They're completely they just have bought into this narrative, and
(07:27):
they will do nothing. They won't question it. They are
committed to trusting whatever the Democrats tell them, even when
they tell them in plain language that they are using
the hurt of people as leverage. This is literally what
she said. I'm gonna play it for you. This was
(07:50):
posted last week. I think this interview might have happened
last well, not this past weekend, the weekend before. But
I'm playing this now because again, some people are out
there are still insisting that this is a Republican shutdown.
I listen. I am no committed Republican here. I am
(08:11):
a conservative. I care about the Constitution, I care about liberty.
I support those politicians who want to push in the
right direction. You can't, you know, sometimes it's difficult. Sometimes
you got to say The best I've got right now
is this option. Sometimes there's candidates you can get more
excited about. I don't know, But the reality is I'm
(08:31):
not here to defend the Republican Party. My job, in fact,
I wrote about this yesterday in the newsletter. My job
is not to help people win an election. In fact,
when we will invite people on this program who are
well who may not agree with what we say and
things that I might not agree with them, I might
agree with zero percent. That's unlikely, but it might be
(08:53):
single digits. Regarding the number of the percentage of things
I agree with these guests about, it might be a
very high number, it might be anything in between. But
this program is to help people. I've made this abundantly clear,
to help people here and receive truth. And I wrote
in the newsletter, I have rules for guests because we're
starting to get more guests. We've got some We've got
(09:15):
people that have reached out to us that might surprise you,
but we have we have rules here. My rules are
to let the guests talk. My rules are to never
engage in, you know, this this personal attack sort of thing.
I've got some rules, but one of the rules is
(09:37):
just because I bring you on the show doesn't mean
that I am endorsing you. It just means that you
have something to bring to the table, as far as
something that interests me, which if it interests me and
I do my job right, it should be interesting to
you as we discuss it. Because the mission here is
to help others here and receive truth. We're trying to
(09:58):
get to truth, my friends, and I don't just mean
factual truth. I mean foundational bedrock truths upon which we
should be making big decisions right. Truth's about the universe,
about the way life works this side of heaven. Truth
that we can trust in, that can be well, that's
(10:20):
been revealed to us, that we sometimes have to be
reminded of. Sometimes it might be a new revelation or
a lesson, but regardless, you have to have these engaged
discussions to get to truth. You can't silence a part
of it. You can't prop up one side and try
to destroy the other. And you know, play on an
(10:41):
unlevel playing foot. I want these folks to have a
way to speak to you, but it is in no way, shape, manner,
or form meant to be an endorsement of the person.
That's not the point of this, The point of this
is to get to get to the truth, get to
the bedrock, bottom line truth. And this upset some people
(11:01):
because there might be someone I agree with three percent
of the time who says something that is absolutely true,
and I'm going to agree with that truth. And if
it's a person who has who comes from the other
side of the political aisle, some people who are politically
focused first will say, Wow, you shouldn't be giving that
(11:22):
person a platform. And I would say, look, I think
it's good that we're actually discussing truth and we're trying
to get people to agree and then move in a
direction in which we can act in such a way
as a government, as a society that reflects and embraces
that truth. And so anyway, elections are for the politicians
(11:48):
to win. So Republicans ought to have a field day
with this what I'm about to play you here. I
don't know how much it's been used out there yet,
but this is literally what we're up against in our government.
Where they believe that they are justified, that they are
in a position of moral authority, they have the moral
(12:10):
high ground to leverage the suffering of Americans suffering that
they have caused. Now, she's a representative, she's not a senator,
so technically she can't solve this. I will tell you
she didn't vote for this in the House, so the
continuing resolution, so she would have done the same thing
in the Senate. So she still is the problem. It's
(12:32):
just that she's not in a position to get us
here right now into this position because it's the Democrat
senators who have put us here. Anyway, listen to what
she says. I'm just gonna let her talk. I guess
she thinks that this is explaining rationally the position of
today's Democrats. But just listen.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I mean, the shutdowns are terrible, and of course there
will be you know, families that are going to suffer.
We take that responsibility very seriously, do you. But it
is one of the few leverage times we have.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, we take it seriously. But it's one of the
few what she say, one of the few leverage times
that we have. That's just I don't it's butchered how
she says it, But she's basically saying, look, we have
an opportunity here to leverage the hurt of people to
get what we want politically. That's what she's just said.
We know, in fact, it's even worse than that, we
(13:31):
take it seriously. In fact, didn't she say at the
beginning she takes uh did she say responsibility? I don't
know if that's but it seemed to me that in
a way she was almost betraying the narrative to a
point because she was saying, it seemed to me that
they're responsible for causing this, which is true. We're responsible
for causing this, but hey, we got some leverage here,
(13:53):
so we're going to take it. And you know, I'll
apologize if it caused your family great hurt and harm,
but it gives us. It's one of the few points
in time in which we have some political leverage here
as the minority party in Washington, d c. And so
we're gonna make the most of this. We're going to
not let a crisis, as ram Emmanuel has said in
the past, We're not going to let a crisis go
(14:15):
to waste. That's what she just said. I mean, there's
no two ways about it. But it's not just her.
Soon after she made these comments, Senator Chris coon said
basically effectively the same sort of thing. Chris Coons was
(14:36):
on looks like ceasefire here, and he was asked specifically.
Now this had been reposted, retweeted if you will buy
the Senate gop Senate Republicans, and the caption for the
post of this video says this, Chris Coons believes that
denying Americans their Snap benefits may be quote unpleasant, but
(15:00):
it's worth doing because it gives Democrats political leverage. Absolutely
deranged is what the Republican Senates. The Senate Republicans wrote
when they posted this video. Here's the video itself, Chris
Coons saying much the same thing that we just heard
in the previous segment. Republicans control the House, the Senate,
and the White House. Frankly, this is our only moment
(15:23):
of leverage. And although a very unpleasant tool to use,
the clip cuts off there. So it's unpleasant, it's got
some leve They've got some leverage. You know, they're they're victims.
You notice that. Look, we can't we have no political
power here. Unfortunately, we're forced to do this. We're forced
to take away the snap benefits or whatever else they're
(15:45):
they're they're they're causing meltdowns about in the media in
our nation's capital by the way. More and more media
figures are catching on to this, and they're calling out
these Democrats on their programs, and I love it. It's
exactly I mean, it's exactly what needs to happen. It's
something that rarely happens when there's accountability required from the media. Well,
(16:09):
the media is requiring it of of the folks who
are actually responsible for this in this case, of course,
the Senate's Democrats. But this is something that they've I mean,
they've talked about this. This is apparently their strategy. This
is apparently what they've figured out in some messaging with
the with the folks who determine how to communicate the
(16:36):
messages the narrative of the Democrat Party. Here's Senator Sheldon
white House walking through the halls of Congress. He looks
like he's being approached by a citizen journalist of some
sort I see here on this video, it says Nicholas
(16:57):
Molossi b A. Las Y. So he approaches Senator white
House and asks about this very thing, and Senator Sheldon
Whitehouse responds much like these first two individuals did in
these previous clips. Listen for yourself.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Why are working families the leverage of Democrats need to
get Obamacare fixed. You get the Republicans to fix Obamacare.
Why is that the place you have to go that far.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's the only lever we have, and frankly, it wouldn't
be lever at all if Republicans were being reasonable and
doing exactly what they should be doing for the sake
of their own constituents, so many of whom depend on
the affordable care.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Petis and then he walks on the elevator to go
up to a meeting or his office or whatever. But
that's what they're telling us. My friends, don't tell me
this is not a Democrat shutdown. Don't tell me that
they're not politicizing the hurt of America people. That's literally
in their message now. Their message is we have to
(18:05):
cause this hurt because we're trying to get leverage to
prevent more hurt from people losing their Obamacare subsidies, or
whatever narrative of the moment they want to push on
the American people. But that, no doubt is what they
are saying. This is a Democrat shutdown, the Schumer shutdown.
(18:27):
This is intentional. They are trying to get political bonus
points from the hurt of American citizen. Now, listen, you
may have problems, you may have problems with some of
these programs, government expenses overall, that's not even the point
right now. This is just not the way to deal
with it. They are throwing a tantrum. They are petulant children.
(18:50):
These folks that I've played, Look and I welcome if
you're a Democrat, a rank and file Democrat. I played
yesterday that caller who called in to c Span who
basically said what I'm saying right now is the Democrats
who have caused this. She's a a lifelong Democrat. I
believe she was a union leader in Philadelphia, and she said,
(19:12):
this is the Democrats creation, this is the Democrat's fault.
They want a political point to score here, and again,
what are they trying to do. They're trying to stir
people up into a frenzy and they're trying to get
people to somehow move to the Democrat party, move to
the Democrats side of things. I don't know if you've
seen polling data, but polling has not been good for
(19:35):
the Democrats here. The polling has been moving toward the Republicans.
The Republicans are winning this fight. The Republicans are standing
on business. Some people would say that they are. What
the Republicans are trying to do here is exactly what
needs to be done. You have to hold the line.
And again I'm telling you they're going to have to
(19:56):
consider I mentioned this last week, they're going to have
to consider the so called nuclear option, where they say
that basically the filibuster cannot be applied to avoiding these
continuing resolution bills and to shut the government down. That
is going to have to be a serious point of
consideration here as they are dealing with petulant children who
(20:17):
aren't getting their way, who have no political power, but
they have enough political power to prevent this from passing
the Senate. And that's why we're in this particular condition
that we're in now. People who are receiving SNAP benefits.
SNAP recipients have been threatening on social media to loot
(20:41):
if they lose their benefits. Now, this is again what
we're being told and reality is not exactly aligned, but
the narrative is the narrative. What they're saying out there
is that forty I think it's forty two million Americans
are going to lose their NAP benefits. I think as
(21:02):
soon as Saturday. Now that's a little deceiving if you
look at the numbers. Who's actually receiving the benefits in
all this? But that's the narrative, and some of these
folks have taken the social media apparently and have said
we're going to loot if we don't get our way,
(21:27):
not kidding. That's where we're gonna head next. As I
get us to the end of this the first segment
of today's program, Friends, let me tell you My Pillow

in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. I mentioned
before the break here that there are Snap recipients out there.
This is an article again in town Hall Today. You
(23:16):
can always find the articles that we reference here in
today's Stack of stuff. Hat tip to the late great
Rush Limbaugh headline here. Snap users erupt on TikTok, promise
looting sprees if food stamps are cut off. If you
(23:38):
want a definition of what an entitlement mindset creates, here
it is now. This is not every person. This is
where this is where you lose a lot of people
on the left. You lose a lot of people on
the left because if you point out the truth here
that some people are prepared to do what I'm about
to well, are at least threatening to do what I'm
about to describe to you, They'll be quick to say, well, yeah,
but that's not everybody. These are the bad excit amples,
(24:00):
these are the bad apples. Okay, I will grant you
that I understand that, But I also understand that entitlements
create an entitlement. Entitlement mindset. You have to actively fight
against that. That is the default position. The default position
is something is given, something then becomes expected. I don't
(24:21):
know if you've seen I mean, you can ask you
can ask employers this. And I know this again, I
may have this audience is probably filled with a much
higher percentage of high quality employees than you'll find in
the general population. People who are on the conservative side
of things take personal responsibility. So I'm not saying that
(24:48):
this applies to you. I mean, if it does, I
would say, hopefully change the mindset. But it's not necessarily
directed at you or any It's just to point out,
I think, what's a truth. And you've probably seen business
owners that they'll tell you when when you start doing
(25:10):
things that are not in your agreement. Let's say you
give a big Christmas bonus at the end of the year,
just as an example, it becomes an expectation of a
lot of people. Now I'll ask you this. I remember,
I remember years ago, and I want to sell I'm
want to be up up front here. I only did
(25:30):
this because I was told to do this by my well,
my mom and my grandma. A. I was a kid,
I didn't even I don't know no better. B I
didn't appreciate it the way that I should have. But
there used to be a gentleman in our community. And
I don't remember when this was. I don't remember how
I was little, I mean elementary. I think maybe I
(25:53):
might have been an early junior high and I remember
there was a gentleman. I believe he used to be
a principal in this school. He would send out I
think it was savings bonds if you made the honor roll.
So he'd read the paper or whatever it was back
in the day, find these kids who were on the
honor roll and send them. It wasn't a huge amount
but he didn't have to do any of it, a
(26:14):
very kind gesture. He was an educator, he cared about
academic success, and I was on the honor roll and
I got one of these savings bonds from him. His
name was Nile's Denny, and I think he used to
be the principal of the school, maybe when my mom
was in school, and he had retired, but he education
(26:39):
remained important to him. And I remember I got that
and I thought, oh, that's nice or whatever. I was
a teenage kid, didn't think much about it. And then
I remember my mom had asked my grandma or excuse me,
my grandma had asked my mom if I had sent
in written a thank you letter or a card. And
so Mom asked me, and I said, you know, I
(26:59):
know I didn't, and so at their request, I did.
So it wasn't me. I want you to understand, I'm
not saying I'm the one that did that. I mean
I'm the one that wrote it. But it wasn't my idea.
It didn't even occur to me. The point is is
that there is something that happens with people at some point.
(27:20):
If you start getting stuff for free, you get these
bonuses it gets kind of baked in. Sometimes there's not
a proper amount of appreciation, which is what I had
in that instance, or understanding about someone had to work
for that, someone had to produce that to give that.
I did not. I didn't earn it, even though you
could say, well, yes, Todd, you did because you were
(27:41):
on the honor roll. No, there's nothing there that said
I should have gotten a benefit. A savings bond, I
think is what it was because of that. That's not
the case at all. He did it out of the
good nature of his heart. I didn't earn anything. And
there's this instant, you know, human we move towards entitlement quickly,
(28:03):
and so that's not all these recipients. I want to
be clear. Some people are grateful. Some people understand that
this is the only thing that's preventing them from major
problems with well at least having to find other solutions,
maybe food banks or other folks who help get food
to people who are in need in the community. But
(28:24):
this is something that no one has the right to.
I know, we've it's been there for so long, We've
put so much money towards it that people think it's
just it's an automatic given that they're entitled to it
because they're an American. That's completely the wrong way of
looking at it. It is something that yes, has been
(28:45):
established by rule of law, by force of law, and
they're taking tax dollars from people by force to then
fund this, and it's okay. I'm not here to just
uniformly across the board criticize it. What I am here
to criticize is the mentality that entitlements create. An entitlement
(29:06):
mentality creates what I'm about to read for you at
town Hall excuse me. At town hall dot com. Dimitri
Bolt wrote this article yesterday several people on the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance program that SNAP, by the way, took to TikTok,
threatening to riot and loot if their food stamps food
(29:30):
stamp payments don't continue through November first. That's just in
two days, my friends. I'm going to read some of
what he's cited in his article here. I'm gonna read
it just as it's written. Do my best. I'm gonna
tell you straight wait, I'm gonna tell y'all straight up
like this. I just got that text that the link
(29:52):
is definitely cut the blank off for November, y'all better
stay the blank out of my way in these stores
because I'm walking out with carts and I'm not paying
for extrement. One Snap recipient raged, Another said, you know what,
(30:12):
since they want to take food stamps away, I'm gonna
go to blanking Walmart, grab anything I blanking want, and
let's see, put that extrement right in the basket and
walk right up out that b word. I'm not paying
(30:34):
for a blank thing. These are actual quotes. Nearly one
in eight Americans. The article says about forty two million
people rely on Snap for assistance. The program provides an
average of three hundred and fifty per month through and
fifty dollars per month and is distributed to recipients on
debit cards. The money can be used to buy groceries
and other food products at supermarkets and convenience stores. Due
(30:59):
to the shut down, the funding for those benefits is
set to be cut off on November first, that is Saturday.
Here's another quote. I'm just having these quotes here we go.
I'm I'm gonna be stealing like it ain't no tomorrow.
I'm gonna have one of my cousins with me. That'll
punch your blank so so hard you'll think a jet
(31:22):
to holiday hit your b backside if you ain't gonna
walk out that store. Another woman blamed President Trump, who
has let Democrats fall flat on their face for shutting
down the government for the lack of funding. This woman said,
Trump done blanked up man. Just the amount of exploitives
(31:46):
that have to be tossed in here is remarkable. Let's
just make this clear. Okay, he's talking about people not
getting food stamps in November and probably not in December.
He better get ready because it's about to go down.
What you what you're gonna learn is you don't play
with black people's food stamps. Okay, so get ready because
(32:07):
people are about to just start taking excrement. By the way,
I'm just reading the words here. I have no idea
about people's race, ethnicity, gender. I'm just reading the words
unless it says it's a woman or this or that.
But a lot of expletives, a lot of a lot
(32:31):
of anger, a lot of entitlement, a lot of misunderstanding.
And I remember too, if you listen to the Democrats
still point out that Republican states, these poorer states in
the South, you know, they'll they'll often point to poor
white communities for this and say that this is a
Republican voters and Trump base and so forth. They're all
(32:51):
over the place here. It doesn't matter to me who
this who these folks are, but it doesn't matter personally.
But this is cause this whole thing has been caused
by the Democrats. So gotta take a break here, my friend.
Let's face it, living with discomfort is tough. While prescription
medications can help, they often come with a long list
of side effects, not to mention the risk of dependency.
(33:14):
That's why more people are exploring natural options like Kreatum
from Christopher's Organic botanicals, no synthetics, no chemicals, no surprise,
is just natural. Excuse me, honest, natural creative. There's nothing
else in there, my friends. It's been used for generations.
Real creative is safe when it's pure and it's handled properly.
(33:35):
Problems come from synthetic blends and contaminated junk and people
who are, by the way, prepared to do whatever it
can to push a product. Christopher's keeps it real, keeps
it clean, and keeps you informed. Start with their Creator
Pack Creative. The Starter pack use code todd have to
save ten percent. Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot dot com. That's
Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. I gotta run. That's a mouthful.
(33:58):
Quick time out, my friends. Back in just a minute.
Welcome back, my friends. Last segment here of today's program,
talking about the threats of people out there on TikTok
social media threatening to riot and loot if Snap benefits
are cut off by Democrats by Chuck Schumer and the
(34:20):
Senate Democrats this weekend November first, and I'm just sharing
those with you. I'm sharing with you the anger, the rage,
the expletives that are in all of these, the way
that these are just written, the aggressiveness just I mean,
(34:47):
it's it's really a sad situation what the entitlement mentality
has created, along with the Democrats trying to stir this
pot up. I mentioned someone someone's post that made it
about race. These things don't even cross my mind, but
that was what the last person that I read said.
(35:08):
Don't take black people's some benefits, their food away. Whoever's
getting these, by the way, no one's I just this
whole thing is just messed up. The way the education system,
the entitlement, the arrogancet, the anger, the self righteousness. These
(35:30):
folks believe the people who are threatening to do this,
they believe that they are doing something that's moral and
virtuous by threatening to riot, thinking that someone owes them something.
This is just a mess in every conceivable way. It's pathetic, really, friends,
(35:52):
last segment here, You've worked hard, You've made smart choices,
and now it's about making sure that effort counts not
just for today, but for the future. Full Sweet Wealth

entitlement mentality what they coordinated approach to wealth, legacy and

of figuring out how to secure enough wealth so that
you can continue to fund whatever lunacy and entitlements Congress
has coming down the road for you so you can
have some leftovers for your family. It's how bad things
(36:58):
have gotten and the mismanaged of this country, my friends.
But you're trying to build wealth, take care of your family,
act responsibly, build your legacy, secure your future. Full sweet
wealth can help you do that, my friends. I told
you I'm going to write about in the newsletter today.
I won't have time to get to Obama's comments, his
(37:19):
comments about trying to basically to have the government come
in and ensure that the media is being honest because
of some regulations and some oversight. I guess we're gonna
talk about that in free speech. I'll write a little
bit about that. I won't have time to get to it,
but I want to spend a little bit more time
(37:40):
here just as as we go see if there's any anymore. Yeah,
there's some of this I can't well, that's about all
that I can get to with that. I can't play
a clip. But the entitlement mentality is a real thing,
(38:01):
and there are people who are threatening to loot and riot,
and this I mean, we probably have to take it
seriously in the sense that there are people who are
already anger, enraged, or angry, and they'll use this as
an opportunity to do this very thing. The entitlement is real,
the expectation that someone else provides for them is real. Again,
(38:25):
this is not every person. Please don't misunderstand me. But
if you don't actively guard against that mindset, a mindset
of entitlement, you know, if you don't have a mindset
of gratitude, a mindset that says, you know, what, I'm
being provided something that I didn't I don't deserve. If
you don't actively pursue that mindset, this is the default mindset.
(38:48):
And when we teach people basically the things that we're
teaching them today, which in many ways it just leads
to more depravity like this. This is not they're not
on the moral side of this of this argument. Yes,
the situation regarding we shouldn't be in this position right
(39:10):
now because of this stupid shutdown. It's also true that
the spending for these programs is out of control. It's
also true that if you dig deeply into some of
the numbers on any program, you'll find that a lot
of people, a lot of people who are receiving benefits
aren't even supposed to be here. They'll deny that, of course,
(39:31):
but if you dig deeply, you'll find that in many,
many cases, it's just an absolute, utter disaster. And you know,
on one hand, from an earthly perspective, I don't know
what the way out of this is. I mean, I
do know you have to enforce the law. If people
do loot and riot, they have to be arrested, they
(39:54):
have to face charges. We have to hold Congress accountable
for what they've done. Here the short term, we should
get the government reopened so that we're not intentionally they're
intentionally doing this. I mean, this is what the Democrats want.
They think angry people make them hate Republicans, make them
cause unrest in the streets, and they want this. They
(40:15):
long for this. It's sickening and sad, but this is
what they're really after. It's a dangerous mentality, a dangerous ideology.
So we need the government open now so that this
chaos stops now. But we also have to fix the
underlying problems that we're funding all this stuff this country.
This country's bankrupt in many many ways. There's gonna have
(40:38):
to be dramatic changes to what we spend our money on,
which is gonna have to affect some of this stuff
as well. Anyway, we've got to mess here with my friends.
We need Jesus more than anything. I gotta go, SDG

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.
