Speaker 1 (00:00):
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's home
for conservative not bitter talk and education. Be advised. The
content of this program has been documented to prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
To the right.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
And now, coming to you from the full suite Wealth Studios,
here is your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You know what, my friends, today the first time I
kids you not. I kid you not. As I'm doing
a couple of things here behind them microphone to get
readjusted for the first time, I'm not kidding. The first
time in over ten years now that we've been doing
this program, I had a mic cable go out. I
was scratching my head here behind the scenes, trying to
(00:59):
figure out why are on earth? My audio was not
going to the soundboard before the program got started here
this morning, but we've got it up and running. I
saved the day as usual, my friends. It's a pleasure
to be here. You know. The routine, thoughts, questions, feedback,
adoration and praise always accepted. Todd at toddhebshow dot com
(01:21):
and check out the website. We've made some improvements you'll
find some new content there. You can ask me questions there.
You can always email those questions in, but you can
send them in through a form today on the website.
It's a section called you asked for It, and I
welcome any question I this is something you know, I
(01:43):
get a lot of questions on I don't know, Facebook,
or email, text, that sort of thing. I want to
get better at helping to answer some of those questions
where everybody can see the answers. We'll put these sorts
of things in the newsletter from time to time as well,
so that you can read some of those things, some
of those interactions that I think you'll find helpful as well.
(02:05):
All that stuff you can sign up for or access
at the website toddebshow dot com. All right, I want
to talk about the fallout from this negotiated government shutdown.
You've got people out there who are highly upset on
the Democratic Party side. They want to get rid of
Chuck Schumer. They're throwing their tantrum. They thought they had
(02:27):
a political winner. They don't understand why they settled and
didn't continue dragging the country through chaos and turmoil that
they created. And so by the way, we are validated
with everything we said on this program about the government
shutdown and who is to blame for this. This is
one hundred percent. Not that I needed it, by the way,
(02:50):
because I understood how this worked. But this is validation
and evidence that, of course what we told you on
this program was true and what the media and the well,
the media actually it was so bad the media stopped
carrying carrying the water for the Democrat party as well,
(03:10):
and so they even came around and told the truth
and blamed the Democrats in the Senate. Anyway, I want
to talk about the fallout. I want to talk a
little bit in the second segment about a lawsuit that
President Trump has filed or that he's announced that he's
going to file against the BBC. I'd like to play
well a clip of two the raw audio that they
(03:36):
well that exists from January sixth, and how the BBC
edited that to mislead its viewers as to what Trump
was telling the people gathered around him as he spoke
on January sixth, the twenty twenty one, what he called
them to do, what he encouraged them to go to
the capitol and do I've got that and Today is
Veteran's Day. I want to say some words about that
(04:00):
in the final segment. If you are an American military veteran,
thank you off the top here for your service. We
are free in large part because of people like you
who are willing to stand up and defend the principles
and the people of this great nation. You know better
than anybody the threats that exist outside outside this country.
(04:24):
I've got some friends who are veterans. My brother in
law is a veteran. I've shared my star. I think
I shared my story on here. They wouldn't take me.
I was medically disqualified for sleepwalking in nineteen ninety seven.
But I appreciate your your service and I want to
pay a little bit of tribute to you in the
(04:45):
final segment today, my friends, thank you veteran. I listened
in a world that in the world that we live in,
there's a lot of hatred for anyone who even puts
on the military uniform because there's a lot of leftists
out here who have well i'll talk about this later,
but they've been taught that this is a terrible place.
Why on earth would you want to defend it, especially
(05:06):
with the firearm. My heavens, can you imagine how terrible
that person must be. This is, of course, what the
radicals talk about and think about this great nation. So
that's where we're headed today, my friends. Let me remind
you you know that we've partnered with Christopher's Organic Botanicals.
(05:28):
You also know there's a lot of confusion out there
about Kreatim. You've probably heard the headlines, read the headlines,
all that sort of stuff. Most of those headlines are
based on synthetic junk that is not real kreative. That's
giving real Kretim a bad name. Real Kreatim is natural,
it's handled with care, and that's what you get when
(05:51):
you work with Christopher's Organic Botanicals, family run company. They
partner directly with farmers in Indonesia to get this product
to you. Every batch is lab tested for purity, for safety.
No chemicals, no fillers, no shortcuts. This is a trusted
herbal option that has been used for generations, my friends,
(06:14):
and a real alternative for people looking for something that
doesn't come with a warning label that's a mile long.
You can start with their Kratim starter pack. Use coupon
code tod huff to get ten percent off your first order,
but you can start by just learning more information and
they have weekly information calls that you can find that
(06:35):
more information on on the website Christophers Organic Botanicals dot com.
That's Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. True tradition transparency. Let's
start here the meltdown that is existing in today's Democrat Party.
We have people who are highly, highly highly upset at
(06:56):
what is going on. Some people are calling for Chuck
Schumer to resign, to step aside because of this deal
that has been negotiated. That is again where the Democrats are.
They are very very upset about this. They believe he
is at fault for this negotiated settlement and they want
(07:20):
him to pay. Now. I'm no fan of Chuck Schumer.
I think Chuck Schumer has been bad for the American people.
I think Chuck Schumer has been bad for the Democrat Party.
I'm not here to help the Democrat Party, but objectively,
I think Chuck Schumer has been a very bad representative
and leader for the Democrat Party. Of course, I also
(07:44):
think he's an opportunist. I think he is. He's an
old school liberal. He's like Nancy Pelosi. He's not a leftist,
but he's an opportunist. I don't trust anything he says,
and I think he's done harm both to the country
and to the Democrat Party. Now. I know that that
(08:05):
gives some credibility to many Democrats when they can point
to some of the insane things that they've done. But
I think Chuck Schumer has done plenty of things that
are bad for the Democrat Party, even for himself. He
hasn't helped himself a lot. I don't think this is
one of those things. Just to recap Monday, yesterday, the
(08:28):
tenth of November, eight Democratic senators voted with Republicans to
advance a bill to reopen the government. We now know
that this is back in the House of Representatives. They're
set to vote on this tomorrow Wednesday. We believe it
may not be I think the earliest that they can
possibly we think at this point begin this process of
(08:51):
voting for this bill is about four pm Eastern Tomorrow
on Wednesday the twelfth. We went through this bill yesterday.
I don't want to belabor this, but this piece of
legislation reopens the government. It funds the government through January thirtieth.
It funds three of the twelve. Three of the twelve
appropriations bills will be fully funded all the way through
(09:13):
the end of the fiscal year in twenty twenty six,
which I find interesting. One of those is the legislative
the legislative appropriation, so that they've taken care of their
particular branch of government. There's going to be fights on
these other nine pieces of legislation, these other nine appropriations bills.
And this is the fight we should have been having
this entire time. This was caused one hundred percent by
(09:36):
the Democrats. As I set off the top. As I
set off the top. For those who said, and I'm
going to play a SoundBite here from Sunny Houston and
the women at the view, but for those who said
this was the Republican shutdown, I ask you this, how
do you end a Republican shutdown with eight Democrats voting
(09:58):
in favor of ending down? Isn't that, my friends, wouldn't
that be evidence that this has always been a Democrat shutdown.
Republicans didn't add a single vote to this process. The
one vote that's been against this pretty much from the
beginning is Rand Paul. He did not join the fifty
(10:19):
two Republicans or the eight Democrat senators who actually ended
this shutdown. So if it was a Republican led shutdown,
hear me say this, say this louder for the people
in the back. If this was a Republican shutdown, why
did it take eight Democrats to end it? Answer me
that answer me that it is one hundred percent proof
(10:40):
positive that this was a Democrat shutdown. So now that's
the first thing. The next thing is, so I'm queuing
up this SoundBite from Sunny Hostin on the View, and
I know, listen, it's the women on the View who
knows what they're going to say, do everything else. This
(11:01):
to me, well, it's certainly humorous. It's certainly just a
walk on the wild side to me to watch and
listen to this. I don't watch this show, but I
see clips of this. But this is what people on
the left are saying. Sonny Houstin is irate. She's fired up,
fired up, and ready to go, as Obama would say
(11:24):
at his rallies, a chance from the stage back in
those days, fired up, ready to go. She has fired
up and ready to let Chuck Schumer go from a
position of leadership. But before I do that, here's the question.
What did they want Chuck Schumer to do? Right? What
are their expectations of their leader in the Senate. Well,
(11:48):
they wanted him to hold the caucus together, to hold
Democrats together, to keep those Democrats from crossing over. By
the way, several of them, three of the eight had
been crossed over to the Republican side for some time now.
That included John Fetterman and a couple of other Democrat senators.
We've documented this throughout the process. So he's held accountable
(12:12):
for not holding the caucus the Democrats together in firm
opposition to the Republican Party and to standing firm I
guess in support of this government shut down. They wanted
him to block or to stall the shutdown ending bill
that the Senate just passed until they could get more
(12:32):
concessions from the Republicans. What did they actually get all
they got? They got nothing is really what it comes
down to. They literally got nothing. And I've seen journalists,
Democrat leftist journalists, media figureheads and so forth asking Democrats
why do this? On day number whatever it was, day
number forty were on day number forty two now of
(12:55):
the government shutdown. The government still isn't open by the way.
They've just voted. They've just voted to reopen the government
in the Senate. Now that goes to the houses we
just talked about, but it's still not open. The clock
is still ticking forty two days now that the government.
This is day number forty two. The government has been
shut down because of the Democrats, and so they wanted concessions,
(13:18):
but they got nothing. They got an agreement that the
Senate is going to hold a vote on making the
Obamacare subsidies, I don't want to say permanent, but extending
those subsidies. We went through this yesterday. There were initial
subsidies in Obamacare. There were additional subsidies that were added
(13:40):
for Obamacare, because again, all the talk about making health
insurance affordable through Obamacare, all that stuff is just a crazy,
made up fantasy fairy tale, and so you have to
you don't have to. But they decided to create subsidies
for people to tap into so that they could afford Obamacare,
(14:01):
so they wouldn't necessarily know just how expensive their premiums were.
Based upon the Democrats coming in and supposedly saving America
with Obamacare. The only way to make it look like
it's even remotely affordable is by having these subsidies. And
so there were additional subsidies that were added during COVID.
(14:23):
They were added during COVID because the people, the American
people were suffering greatly because of a disease that was
wreaking havoc on this country. But not just that, because
of decisions made by our government, different state governments and
so forth, local governments shutting things down, making it impossible
not only to go outside, but to make a living.
(14:46):
Remember this was back in the days when they told
us you don't what you do is not what was
the word they use, it not necessary, it's not essential.
There we go. Thanks, oz is paying attention to ozz
Is checked in here. But she essential. Remember they said,
you're you know, some people's job wasn't essential. And I said,
(15:09):
to the person working it, to the person's providing for
his or her family, that job is absolutely essential. Who's
the government to tell you that your work isn't essential
for anything? Tell them to fly a kite. Of course
it's essential. But they said, no, no, no, what we'll do
is we'll take care of you. We'll give you all
this quote unquote free money, which of course was a
(15:29):
major driver of inflation. They made this stuff up out
of just thin air, acting like this wasn't going to
hurt the American people whatsoever. Of course, we were in
that point in time that just in the in the storyline,
We were in the in the thick of it, right,
we were in this uncertainty. People were panicked, and they said,
we gotta do something. You gotta do something, don't know
(15:50):
what it is, but send people bunches and bunches of
dollar bills and just that'll fix everything. Well, it turns
out that's not as easy to do as we think.
And one of those dollar bills or one of those
series of dollar bills that people receive were subsidies for
obamac here to help during the additional hardship that was
caused by COVID. Now Democrats want to extend that. Now
(16:14):
they had nothing to do with the continuing resolution the
Clean cr Republicans put forth and voted for in the
House of Representatives all the way back on September nineteenth,
that had nothing to do with any of this, and
so they've just parroted a lie up to the point
that they're still holding Chuck Schumer responsible because he couldn't
(16:35):
keep eight Democrats from reaching across the aisle and achieving bipartisanship.
By the way, bipartisanship is usually something that's heralded by
the media and by the radical left. I have multiple,
multiple articles here. I'm gonna pull up a headline and
just reference it so you have an idea. You've probably
(16:56):
seen these two the New York Times. Where did that go?
I thought it's in my stack here. Maybe I already
deleted it. I get sick of looking at these New
York Times articles. But the New York Times is using
a phrase to describe the people in the Democrat Party
(17:18):
who decided to go to the Republican's side and actually
vote for vote for the government to be open. Oh
there's a term there. I use it, and I just
I can't find it. I thought it was in this
Maybe it was yesterday's. It's not in that one I
(17:39):
just looked at. But basically, the New York Times is
calling folks the Democrats names. Man, I'm gonna have to
find it during the break. But they're calling them names
for reaching across the aut These people are oftentimes heralded
as heroes, right, They're heralded as hero for reaching across
(18:01):
the aisle and making sure that they do what's best
in the eyes of the American people, and that's normally
considered a good thing. Defectors, there it is I Dug
and Doug and Doug. I knew it was somewhere, it says.
The Senate, with the help of Democratic defectors, passed the
(18:25):
bill to in the longest government shutdown without the health
insurance subsidies Democrats long demanded. I mean, are we admitting
now that this was the Democrat shutdown? If it takes
Democrat defectors to think about this, they have lied to you.
I just I want to hammer this home. I have
said on this program for a month now that this
(18:45):
is a Democrat shutdown. I have had people who have
come to me on social media whatever else saying that
I'm incorrect about this. This is Republicans that have shut
this down. Again, tell me why we need eight Democrat
defectors to leave the side of the Democrat party that
has apparently that is standing in favor of a shutdown.
(19:08):
Why do we need them to defect? It makes it
sound like, you know, it's as serious as defecting from
North Korea, which in there's actually similar similarities as I
think about it, But you take defectors from the Democrat
Party in order to side with Republicans to reopen it.
Remind me again, media, and that's not every media figure
(19:30):
on this one, but remind me again, Democrats, how this
is the Democrat excuse me, the Republican shutdown? Hakeem Jeffries.
Why did eight defectors, people who defected from the Democrat
Party strategy of shutting down the government by defecting, they
joined the Republicans to reopen it. Those are the people
they're calling defectors. It's wild, wild stuff, my friends. So
(19:55):
they are upset with Chuck Schumer. They wanted him to block,
to stall, to quit the to keep these Democrats from
joining Republicans and defecting. As The New York Times says,
they wanted him to project a more aggressive fighting posture.
We're here to fight for the people. We're here to
fight for you, fight for your rights to have subsidized
(20:16):
health care and all this sort of stuff. That's what
they wanted. They wanted them to preserve the ACA subsidies.
That's still going to be addressed. But listen, the vote
is probably as I understand, and not even going to
leave have a chance to hit the floor of the
Senate because it will be filibuster. They're not going to
have sixty votes to achieve their objective here. They want
(20:41):
everything here to it's symbolic. They wanted Chuck Schumer to
show symbolic defiance. There's nothing he could have done to
stop this. There are things he could have possibly done
to delay it. Can you imagine that though? Can you
imagine after thirty what did I say, we are day
number forty two saying well, let's instead of having this
(21:03):
end on day number forty three or forty four, let's
make it end on day forty eight or forty nine
or fifty. What I mean? You realize how petty and
ridiculous that looks to free thinking Americans. They thought Chuck
Schumer should have refused to allow a vote on the
motion to proceed via procedural objections or delays. They wanted
(21:23):
him to whip it's if you're trying to get votes.
There's actually a leadership position called the majority and the
minority whip, and the term is to describe people who
are trying to whip the vote, get the vote, kind
of corralled for the you know the position that the
Democrats are. In the case of the Republicans, if they're
(21:45):
the Republican whip, get the votes lined up so that
they can achieve things and all push in the same direction.
They wanted him to do that. They wanted him to
do that as well. They wanted him to demand stronger
conditions to be met. Of go of course, he's his
hands were tied. They wanted to have to project an
energy of a fighter. Come on, this is patently ridiculous
(22:06):
and silly. There was nothing he could do. There wasn't
and I'm not a fan of his, but there was
nothing he could do. Friends, let's face it, there's a
lot of companies out there. They do not share your
Christian values. The good news is you do not have
to invest in them. At four eight Financial, they specialize
in biblically responsible investing. Those screen out companies that go
against your faith, your values and create a plan that's
(22:28):
tailored to meet your goals, and they handle all that
heavy lifting for you so you can focus on what
really matters. You want to see how your current current investments,
what you have today, how those investments align with their values.
If you do go to four eight financial dot com
slash todd. That's for eight financial dot com slash todd
(22:49):
to complete the assessment. It's quick and easy for eight
financial because our values matter is so does our money.
My friends, Quick time out back here in just a minute,
and welcome back, my friends. I do want to get
to Trump's lawsuits, potential lawsuits against the BBC for doctoring, editing,
(23:14):
selectively creatively editing his remarks outside well in Washington, d C.
When he told people on January sixth, twenty twenty one,
too peacefully and patriotically protest march down to the Capitol.
Trump is suing them, and I want to get into
that in this segment. But there's a few more things
I want to get to to tie up loose ends
(23:36):
from the first segment. Number one, Chuck Schumer. While he's
a absolutely terrible, terrible leader, he's done bad things for
both the Republican Party and most importantly for this country.
He has he is not a good leader. He hasn't
acted in America's best interests. He's supported, promoted some really
(23:57):
really reprehensible and just flat out bad ideas. He's not
responsible for this. I mean, people want someone to blame
and that's fine. Let there be turmoil within the Democrat Party.
People theoretically thought that he could refuse unanimous consent agreements.
All that would do would slow the process down, which
(24:18):
again would make it look like he was trying to
inflict intentionally to the freethinkers of moment among us, trying
to inflict harm on people during this shutdown. Again, he
could have demanded full debate, the full amendment process. That
would again prolong the debate. This was already this is
(24:38):
supposed to be the filibuster is supposed to already prolonged debate.
He was going to prolonged debate again only to lose.
Is that what they wanted? That could have possibly caused
there to be additional backlash as well. Again, some people
wanted him to try to filibuster the motion to proceed,
(24:59):
but he didn't have the votes. I just listen, apply
public pressure on the Democrats who wanted to put an
end to this shutdown. Again, what's he supposed to do?
They've already made their choice. There wasn't anything else he
could do. He couldnot prevent or block the cloture vote.
He cannot punish the quote unquote defectors, which again is
(25:24):
a pretty telling term to use under the Senate rules,
and he couldn't stop the bill from reaching the floor
once it's been scheduled. There's really nothing Chuck Schumer could do,
but they want to blame him for it anyway. Here's
an example of some mindless gibberish being spoken again at
(25:48):
the View as usual. But I just want you to
hear I know this is the view, and I know
this is not to be taken seriously in one sense. Right,
in one sense, the thing that they say, the arguments
that they make are patently absurd on the view, I
get it, understand completely. However, in the world we live in,
(26:09):
this is the sort of stuff that a lot of
people listen to. A lot of people listen to. They
think these women know what they're talking about. These women
don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. Sunny Hostin,
I mean, there's a lot to choose from Sunny Houston. Whoope,
Goldberg kind of lead the charge there of not knowing
what they're talking about. However, there's plenty of other contenders
(26:33):
for that as well. I just want you to listen
to this. How many things can she possibly get wrong?
How many talking points is she regurgitating here that have
no basis in reality. Listen to this for yourself, and
how wrong this entire thing is.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Let's be clear, the Republicans run the House, the Republicans
run the Senate, the Republicans run the White House, the
Republicans run the Supreme Court. Or as far as I'm concerned,
this was a choice by Republicans to cut SNAP benefits.
This was a choice by Republicans to cut ACA subsidies.
This was a choice by the Republicans to cut the
federal government in federal employment. Democrats had nothing to do
(27:15):
with it.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I wanted, this is beyond stupid. This listen, I'm sure said, Oh,
I don't know. I don't know that she's a pleasant person.
I'm just gonna be kind to her. This is absolutely moronic.
This is idiotic to the nth degree what she's just said. Listen.
(27:36):
On the one hand, I wrote about this. That's one
of the questions actually that I addressed. Didn't think about
that until I started saying this. That's one of the
questions I've addressed on our website under the new place
where you can ask your questions and all that called
you asked for it, she said, Republicans control the House,
Republicans control the Senate, Republicans control the White House as
(27:57):
far as she's concerned. Republicans controlled the Supreme Court, whatever
the world that's supposed to mean. But Republicans do control
the House, Republicans do control the Senate, Republicans do control
the White House. But again, nuance and context requires that
we explain what that means. That means that they have
a majority, the Filibuster and the Senate. Sonny Houston, I
(28:19):
don't know how to make this any simpler. You either
deliberately don't want to know this, or I mean, I
think that that's what it is. But then you know,
then you're questioning her integrity. She either deliberately doesn't want
to know this, or she is not capable of connecting
the dots. Majority means fifty percent, you know, just a majority,
(28:44):
fifty percent plus that extra person, whatever that percentage comes
out to be. In the Senate, that would be fifty
one percent. Because there's one hundred centers, you would need
fifty one to have a true majority, or even if
it was fifty to fifty, if you have the White House,
the Vice President turns out that Sarah Palin was right
about about this. The vice president breaks the ties. Shockingly,
she was right. We knew this all along when she
(29:05):
said this, and she was made fun of relentlessly and
mocked by Katie Kirk and people out there in the
media and in all across the fruited plane here for
saying something that was true about the vice presidency. But
that's a way to have the majority as well. The
vice president could be the one hundred and first vote.
And if the vice president is in the Republican Party
(29:27):
and Republicans had fifty senators, they would have a fifty
first senator on tie breaking votes with jd Vance as
the vice president. That's how this works. Republicans, however, don't
have sixty. That's a super majority. That's the majority, the
level of majority required to get things done. I've been
through this in the Senate. I have been through this
so many times. It's maddening. First of all, the SNAP
(29:51):
benefits are not connected. Democrats connected them to the Continuing Resolution.
There is a separate piece of legislation that seys them
timeline on the on well, I'm on the on the
benefits for ACA benefits. Excuse me, but the snap benefits.
(30:15):
I confuse two things. They're forgive me. The snap benefits
were only stopped because the Democrats shut down the government. Hello,
this is so ridiculous. Of course this was orchestrated by
the Democrats. Everything she said is just one hundred and
eighty degrees out of whack. If it was down, she
(30:37):
said it was up. If it was right, she said
it was left. Is because she couldn't be more wrong
if she tried. But she's got more to say.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
An opposition party. I think the Democrats caved. I think
the Democrats let down the American people by opening the government.
You will be I have absolutely no faith that the
Republican Party will come to the negotiating table and good faith.
You know, you do something like this, Shame on you
the first time, you do it twice, three times, four times,
(31:08):
Shame on me, Shame on the Democrats. We're even believing
that the Republicans will, you know, even vote on it.
There's no guarantee in this new deal that there's going
to be a vote. There's no even commitment to have
a vote. So the bottom line is the Democrats went
into this after a blue wave out of the American
people saying we do want the opposition. We the working
(31:31):
people want the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
There were a couple of elections in a couple of states,
Blue States. The governor's the governor's races were won by Democrats.
It wasn't entered into after the election. The election was
last week. The shutdown has been forty two days. Just
can you look at a calendar? I feel dumber after
listening to this, my friend, I don't know what to
say about this. It's pathetic, it's sad. I gotta take

I'll either talk about it in the newsletter today or
we'll talk about it tomorrow. Trump's lawsuit with the BBC
potential but he's announced will be his lawsuit with the BBC.
But I want to spend some time talking about veterans.
(35:40):
You know, my friends, if you're like me, you know
a lot of people out there who have served in
defense of this great nation, have served in this Maybe
many of you have served in this great nation as well.
And I want to hear you. I want you to
hear me say thank you. What you know. There have
(36:01):
been times in America's history, and I think we're in
one of those times now. But I think back to
the Vietnam War. There have been times in our nation's
history where our military were our veterans, people that put
themselves in harm's way in defense of this great nation.
We're not shown the proper dignity and respect that they deserve.
(36:25):
You know, if you join the military, if you sign
up whatever it is, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,
coast Guard, space Force. Now, if you sign up to
protect this great nation, you're not a policy maker. Your
job is to follow orders. In fact, that's one of
the things that they do very early in the process,
(36:48):
is they make sure that you know that they're in
charge and that you're to follow orders. You're not to
give orders. You don't really even have an opinion. They
don't want you to have an opinion. They want you
to do what the command structure has determined you are
going to do. They don't set the policy. They don't
determine when they go to a certain theater. They don't
(37:10):
determine where they have a base established. They don't they
don't determine the rules of engagement. They don't they don't
determine all of the political factors that go into a
particular situation and scenario. These men and women who signed
up to defend this great nation deserve our applause, our respect,
(37:35):
and today's the day that we can do that. Today
is the day that we can and should do that.
This nation, in order for look, freedom has constantly, it
is constantly under assault. It constantly is threatened by people
who want to take away your freedom. Power is is
(37:59):
a drug to people. Money and power are things that
motivate people to do, sometimes some very incredibly wicked things.
I mean, we all have see this in our own
life and our own world today, but even throughout history
we can see this time and time and time again. Freedom.
God has given us freedom. But freedom must be defended
(38:21):
because there are people who want to take away our
freedom for the lust of power, for the control, for
the riches, for the rewards that they think that they
will get by being the people in control. It takes
an incredible amount of arrogance and self righteousness to think
(38:42):
that you or a particular person is worthy, is qualified
to be in charge of another person's life. And our
founders understood this. They understood that tyranny is always out there,
threats to our freedom and liberty always exist, and so
ultimately the only way to secure those liberties and listen,
(39:05):
I understand I mentioned earlier politicians can sometimes put put
military personnel in predicaments that they shouldn't be in. That's
not the fault of the person who signed up. Some
of these things are absolutely noble and good as well.
Whatever the case. This is my point. Whenever wherever someone served,
(39:27):
whatever their mos was, whatever that they did in the military,
whatever they're doing in the military, it is part of
what protects this great nation, secures our liberty, and it
is a good thing. And thank a veteran today. If
you haven't done that, I highly encourage you to do that.
(39:47):
A lot of these folks haven't been thanked in years,
some have been. Some of them again served at times
that they were not thanked. In fact, they were ridiculed
and even blacklisted for being part of the military during
some of these conflicts and so forth throughout our nation's history,
particular in particular, I think of Vietnam, but I also
(40:08):
think look in some circles today, if you if you
say you served in the War on Terror, there are
people out there that think you're a terrible human being.
You are not what you did. While certainly the government
didn't always make the right decisions, what you did was
fight against an abject evil, and I say thank you.
(40:29):
This nation exists, this nation has freedom because men and
women who sign up for the armed services have stood
in the path, have stood in a position to protect
those of us in this great nation. And I stay
thank you. On this Veterans Day, Happy Veterans Day. I
have to go. SDG
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's home
for conservative not bitter talk and education. Be advised. The
content of this program has been documented to prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
To the right.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
And now, coming to you from the full suite Wealth Studios,
here is your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You know what, my friends, today the first time I
kids you not. I kid you not. As I'm doing
a couple of things here behind them microphone to get
readjusted for the first time, I'm not kidding. The first
time in over ten years now that we've been doing
this program, I had a mic cable go out. I
was scratching my head here behind the scenes, trying to
(00:59):
figure out why are on earth? My audio was not
going to the soundboard before the program got started here
this morning, but we've got it up and running. I
saved the day as usual, my friends. It's a pleasure
to be here. You know. The routine, thoughts, questions, feedback,
adoration and praise always accepted. Todd at toddhebshow dot com
(01:21):
and check out the website. We've made some improvements you'll
find some new content there. You can ask me questions there.
You can always email those questions in, but you can
send them in through a form today on the website.
It's a section called you asked for It, and I
welcome any question I this is something you know, I
(01:43):
get a lot of questions on I don't know, Facebook,
or email, text, that sort of thing. I want to
get better at helping to answer some of those questions
where everybody can see the answers. We'll put these sorts
of things in the newsletter from time to time as well,
so that you can read some of those things, some
of those interactions that I think you'll find helpful as well.
(02:05):
All that stuff you can sign up for or access
at the website toddebshow dot com. All right, I want
to talk about the fallout from this negotiated government shutdown.
You've got people out there who are highly upset on
the Democratic Party side. They want to get rid of
Chuck Schumer. They're throwing their tantrum. They thought they had
(02:27):
a political winner. They don't understand why they settled and
didn't continue dragging the country through chaos and turmoil that
they created. And so by the way, we are validated
with everything we said on this program about the government
shutdown and who is to blame for this. This is
one hundred percent. Not that I needed it, by the way,
(02:50):
because I understood how this worked. But this is validation
and evidence that, of course what we told you on
this program was true and what the media and the well,
the media actually it was so bad the media stopped
carrying carrying the water for the Democrat party as well,
(03:10):
and so they even came around and told the truth
and blamed the Democrats in the Senate. Anyway, I want
to talk about the fallout. I want to talk a
little bit in the second segment about a lawsuit that
President Trump has filed or that he's announced that he's
going to file against the BBC. I'd like to play
well a clip of two the raw audio that they
(03:36):
well that exists from January sixth, and how the BBC
edited that to mislead its viewers as to what Trump
was telling the people gathered around him as he spoke
on January sixth, the twenty twenty one, what he called
them to do, what he encouraged them to go to
the capitol and do I've got that and Today is
Veteran's Day. I want to say some words about that
(04:00):
in the final segment. If you are an American military veteran,
thank you off the top here for your service. We
are free in large part because of people like you
who are willing to stand up and defend the principles
and the people of this great nation. You know better
than anybody the threats that exist outside outside this country.
(04:24):
I've got some friends who are veterans. My brother in
law is a veteran. I've shared my star. I think
I shared my story on here. They wouldn't take me.
I was medically disqualified for sleepwalking in nineteen ninety seven.
But I appreciate your your service and I want to
pay a little bit of tribute to you in the
(04:45):
final segment today, my friends, thank you veteran. I listened
in a world that in the world that we live in,
there's a lot of hatred for anyone who even puts
on the military uniform because there's a lot of leftists
out here who have well i'll talk about this later,
but they've been taught that this is a terrible place.
Why on earth would you want to defend it, especially
(05:06):
with the firearm. My heavens, can you imagine how terrible
that person must be. This is, of course, what the
radicals talk about and think about this great nation. So
that's where we're headed today, my friends. Let me remind
you you know that we've partnered with Christopher's Organic Botanicals.
(05:28):
You also know there's a lot of confusion out there
about Kreatim. You've probably heard the headlines, read the headlines,
all that sort of stuff. Most of those headlines are
based on synthetic junk that is not real kreative. That's
giving real Kretim a bad name. Real Kreatim is natural,
it's handled with care, and that's what you get when
(05:51):
you work with Christopher's Organic Botanicals, family run company. They
partner directly with farmers in Indonesia to get this product
to you. Every batch is lab tested for purity, for safety.
No chemicals, no fillers, no shortcuts. This is a trusted
herbal option that has been used for generations, my friends,
(06:14):
and a real alternative for people looking for something that
doesn't come with a warning label that's a mile long.
You can start with their Kratim starter pack. Use coupon
code tod huff to get ten percent off your first order,
but you can start by just learning more information and
they have weekly information calls that you can find that
(06:35):
more information on on the website Christophers Organic Botanicals dot com.
That's Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. True tradition transparency. Let's
start here the meltdown that is existing in today's Democrat Party.
We have people who are highly, highly highly upset at
(06:56):
what is going on. Some people are calling for Chuck
Schumer to resign, to step aside because of this deal
that has been negotiated. That is again where the Democrats are.
They are very very upset about this. They believe he
is at fault for this negotiated settlement and they want
(07:20):
him to pay. Now. I'm no fan of Chuck Schumer.
I think Chuck Schumer has been bad for the American people.
I think Chuck Schumer has been bad for the Democrat Party.
I'm not here to help the Democrat Party, but objectively,
I think Chuck Schumer has been a very bad representative
and leader for the Democrat Party. Of course, I also
(07:44):
think he's an opportunist. I think he is. He's an
old school liberal. He's like Nancy Pelosi. He's not a leftist,
but he's an opportunist. I don't trust anything he says,
and I think he's done harm both to the country
and to the Democrat Party. Now. I know that that
(08:05):
gives some credibility to many Democrats when they can point
to some of the insane things that they've done. But
I think Chuck Schumer has done plenty of things that
are bad for the Democrat Party, even for himself. He
hasn't helped himself a lot. I don't think this is
one of those things. Just to recap Monday, yesterday, the
(08:28):
tenth of November, eight Democratic senators voted with Republicans to
advance a bill to reopen the government. We now know
that this is back in the House of Representatives. They're
set to vote on this tomorrow Wednesday. We believe it
may not be I think the earliest that they can
possibly we think at this point begin this process of
(08:51):
voting for this bill is about four pm Eastern Tomorrow
on Wednesday the twelfth. We went through this bill yesterday.
I don't want to belabor this, but this piece of
legislation reopens the government. It funds the government through January thirtieth.
It funds three of the twelve. Three of the twelve
appropriations bills will be fully funded all the way through
(09:13):
the end of the fiscal year in twenty twenty six,
which I find interesting. One of those is the legislative
the legislative appropriation, so that they've taken care of their
particular branch of government. There's going to be fights on
these other nine pieces of legislation, these other nine appropriations bills.
And this is the fight we should have been having
this entire time. This was caused one hundred percent by
(09:36):
the Democrats. As I set off the top. As I
set off the top. For those who said, and I'm
going to play a SoundBite here from Sunny Houston and
the women at the view, but for those who said
this was the Republican shutdown, I ask you this, how
do you end a Republican shutdown with eight Democrats voting
(09:58):
in favor of ending down? Isn't that, my friends, wouldn't
that be evidence that this has always been a Democrat shutdown.
Republicans didn't add a single vote to this process. The
one vote that's been against this pretty much from the
beginning is Rand Paul. He did not join the fifty
(10:19):
two Republicans or the eight Democrat senators who actually ended
this shutdown. So if it was a Republican led shutdown,
hear me say this, say this louder for the people
in the back. If this was a Republican shutdown, why
did it take eight Democrats to end it? Answer me
that answer me that it is one hundred percent proof
(10:40):
positive that this was a Democrat shutdown. So now that's
the first thing. The next thing is, so I'm queuing
up this SoundBite from Sunny Hostin on the View, and
I know, listen, it's the women on the View who
knows what they're going to say, do everything else. This
(11:01):
to me, well, it's certainly humorous. It's certainly just a
walk on the wild side to me to watch and
listen to this. I don't watch this show, but I
see clips of this. But this is what people on
the left are saying. Sonny Houstin is irate. She's fired up,
fired up, and ready to go, as Obama would say
(11:24):
at his rallies, a chance from the stage back in
those days, fired up, ready to go. She has fired
up and ready to let Chuck Schumer go from a
position of leadership. But before I do that, here's the question.
What did they want Chuck Schumer to do? Right? What
are their expectations of their leader in the Senate. Well,
(11:48):
they wanted him to hold the caucus together, to hold
Democrats together, to keep those Democrats from crossing over. By
the way, several of them, three of the eight had
been crossed over to the Republican side for some time now.
That included John Fetterman and a couple of other Democrat senators.
We've documented this throughout the process. So he's held accountable
(12:12):
for not holding the caucus the Democrats together in firm
opposition to the Republican Party and to standing firm I
guess in support of this government shut down. They wanted
him to block or to stall the shutdown ending bill
that the Senate just passed until they could get more
(12:32):
concessions from the Republicans. What did they actually get all
they got? They got nothing is really what it comes
down to. They literally got nothing. And I've seen journalists,
Democrat leftist journalists, media figureheads and so forth asking Democrats
why do this? On day number whatever it was, day
number forty were on day number forty two now of
(12:55):
the government shutdown. The government still isn't open by the way.
They've just voted. They've just voted to reopen the government
in the Senate. Now that goes to the houses we
just talked about, but it's still not open. The clock
is still ticking forty two days now that the government.
This is day number forty two. The government has been
shut down because of the Democrats, and so they wanted concessions,
(13:18):
but they got nothing. They got an agreement that the
Senate is going to hold a vote on making the
Obamacare subsidies, I don't want to say permanent, but extending
those subsidies. We went through this yesterday. There were initial
subsidies in Obamacare. There were additional subsidies that were added
(13:40):
for Obamacare, because again, all the talk about making health
insurance affordable through Obamacare, all that stuff is just a crazy,
made up fantasy fairy tale, and so you have to
you don't have to. But they decided to create subsidies
for people to tap into so that they could afford Obamacare,
(14:01):
so they wouldn't necessarily know just how expensive their premiums were.
Based upon the Democrats coming in and supposedly saving America
with Obamacare. The only way to make it look like
it's even remotely affordable is by having these subsidies. And
so there were additional subsidies that were added during COVID.
(14:23):
They were added during COVID because the people, the American
people were suffering greatly because of a disease that was
wreaking havoc on this country. But not just that, because
of decisions made by our government, different state governments and
so forth, local governments shutting things down, making it impossible
not only to go outside, but to make a living.
(14:46):
Remember this was back in the days when they told
us you don't what you do is not what was
the word they use, it not necessary, it's not essential.
There we go. Thanks, oz is paying attention to ozz
Is checked in here. But she essential. Remember they said,
you're you know, some people's job wasn't essential. And I said,
(15:09):
to the person working it, to the person's providing for
his or her family, that job is absolutely essential. Who's
the government to tell you that your work isn't essential
for anything? Tell them to fly a kite. Of course
it's essential. But they said, no, no, no, what we'll do
is we'll take care of you. We'll give you all
this quote unquote free money, which of course was a
(15:29):
major driver of inflation. They made this stuff up out
of just thin air, acting like this wasn't going to
hurt the American people whatsoever. Of course, we were in
that point in time that just in the in the storyline,
We were in the in the thick of it, right,
we were in this uncertainty. People were panicked, and they said,
we gotta do something. You gotta do something, don't know
(15:50):
what it is, but send people bunches and bunches of
dollar bills and just that'll fix everything. Well, it turns
out that's not as easy to do as we think.
And one of those dollar bills or one of those
series of dollar bills that people receive were subsidies for
obamac here to help during the additional hardship that was
caused by COVID. Now Democrats want to extend that. Now
(16:14):
they had nothing to do with the continuing resolution the
Clean cr Republicans put forth and voted for in the
House of Representatives all the way back on September nineteenth,
that had nothing to do with any of this, and
so they've just parroted a lie up to the point
that they're still holding Chuck Schumer responsible because he couldn't
(16:35):
keep eight Democrats from reaching across the aisle and achieving bipartisanship.
By the way, bipartisanship is usually something that's heralded by
the media and by the radical left. I have multiple,
multiple articles here. I'm gonna pull up a headline and
just reference it so you have an idea. You've probably
(16:56):
seen these two the New York Times. Where did that go?
I thought it's in my stack here. Maybe I already
deleted it. I get sick of looking at these New
York Times articles. But the New York Times is using
a phrase to describe the people in the Democrat Party
(17:18):
who decided to go to the Republican's side and actually
vote for vote for the government to be open. Oh
there's a term there. I use it, and I just
I can't find it. I thought it was in this
Maybe it was yesterday's. It's not in that one I
(17:39):
just looked at. But basically, the New York Times is
calling folks the Democrats names. Man, I'm gonna have to
find it during the break. But they're calling them names
for reaching across the aut These people are oftentimes heralded
as heroes, right, They're heralded as hero for reaching across
(18:01):
the aisle and making sure that they do what's best
in the eyes of the American people, and that's normally
considered a good thing. Defectors, there it is I Dug
and Doug and Doug. I knew it was somewhere, it says.
The Senate, with the help of Democratic defectors, passed the
(18:25):
bill to in the longest government shutdown without the health
insurance subsidies Democrats long demanded. I mean, are we admitting
now that this was the Democrat shutdown? If it takes
Democrat defectors to think about this, they have lied to you.
I just I want to hammer this home. I have
said on this program for a month now that this
(18:45):
is a Democrat shutdown. I have had people who have
come to me on social media whatever else saying that
I'm incorrect about this. This is Republicans that have shut
this down. Again, tell me why we need eight Democrat
defectors to leave the side of the Democrat party that
has apparently that is standing in favor of a shutdown.
(19:08):
Why do we need them to defect? It makes it
sound like, you know, it's as serious as defecting from
North Korea, which in there's actually similar similarities as I
think about it, But you take defectors from the Democrat
Party in order to side with Republicans to reopen it.
Remind me again, media, and that's not every media figure
(19:30):
on this one, but remind me again, Democrats, how this
is the Democrat excuse me, the Republican shutdown? Hakeem Jeffries.
Why did eight defectors, people who defected from the Democrat
Party strategy of shutting down the government by defecting, they
joined the Republicans to reopen it. Those are the people
they're calling defectors. It's wild, wild stuff, my friends. So
(19:55):
they are upset with Chuck Schumer. They wanted him to block,
to stall, to quit the to keep these Democrats from
joining Republicans and defecting. As The New York Times says,
they wanted him to project a more aggressive fighting posture.
We're here to fight for the people. We're here to
fight for you, fight for your rights to have subsidized
(20:16):
health care and all this sort of stuff. That's what
they wanted. They wanted them to preserve the ACA subsidies.
That's still going to be addressed. But listen, the vote
is probably as I understand, and not even going to
leave have a chance to hit the floor of the
Senate because it will be filibuster. They're not going to
have sixty votes to achieve their objective here. They want
(20:41):
everything here to it's symbolic. They wanted Chuck Schumer to
show symbolic defiance. There's nothing he could have done to
stop this. There are things he could have possibly done
to delay it. Can you imagine that though? Can you
imagine after thirty what did I say, we are day
number forty two saying well, let's instead of having this
(21:03):
end on day number forty three or forty four, let's
make it end on day forty eight or forty nine
or fifty. What I mean? You realize how petty and
ridiculous that looks to free thinking Americans. They thought Chuck
Schumer should have refused to allow a vote on the
motion to proceed via procedural objections or delays. They wanted
(21:23):
him to whip it's if you're trying to get votes.
There's actually a leadership position called the majority and the
minority whip, and the term is to describe people who
are trying to whip the vote, get the vote, kind
of corralled for the you know the position that the
Democrats are. In the case of the Republicans, if they're
(21:45):
the Republican whip, get the votes lined up so that
they can achieve things and all push in the same direction.
They wanted him to do that. They wanted him to
do that as well. They wanted him to demand stronger
conditions to be met. Of go of course, he's his
hands were tied. They wanted to have to project an
energy of a fighter. Come on, this is patently ridiculous
(22:06):
and silly. There was nothing he could do. There wasn't
and I'm not a fan of his, but there was
nothing he could do. Friends, let's face it, there's a
lot of companies out there. They do not share your
Christian values. The good news is you do not have
to invest in them. At four eight Financial, they specialize
in biblically responsible investing. Those screen out companies that go
against your faith, your values and create a plan that's
(22:28):

My friends, Quick time out back here in just a minute,
and welcome back, my friends. I do want to get
to Trump's lawsuits, potential lawsuits against the BBC for doctoring, editing,
(23:14):
selectively creatively editing his remarks outside well in Washington, d C.
When he told people on January sixth, twenty twenty one,
too peacefully and patriotically protest march down to the Capitol.
Trump is suing them, and I want to get into
that in this segment. But there's a few more things
I want to get to to tie up loose ends
(23:36):
from the first segment. Number one, Chuck Schumer. While he's
a absolutely terrible, terrible leader, he's done bad things for
both the Republican Party and most importantly for this country.
He has he is not a good leader. He hasn't
acted in America's best interests. He's supported, promoted some really
(23:57):
really reprehensible and just flat out bad ideas. He's not
responsible for this. I mean, people want someone to blame
and that's fine. Let there be turmoil within the Democrat Party.
People theoretically thought that he could refuse unanimous consent agreements.
All that would do would slow the process down, which
(24:18):
again would make it look like he was trying to
inflict intentionally to the freethinkers of moment among us, trying
to inflict harm on people during this shutdown. Again, he
could have demanded full debate, the full amendment process. That
would again prolong the debate. This was already this is
(24:38):
supposed to be the filibuster is supposed to already prolonged debate.
He was going to prolonged debate again only to lose.
Is that what they wanted? That could have possibly caused
there to be additional backlash as well. Again, some people
wanted him to try to filibuster the motion to proceed,
(24:59):
but he didn't have the votes. I just listen, apply
public pressure on the Democrats who wanted to put an
end to this shutdown. Again, what's he supposed to do?
They've already made their choice. There wasn't anything else he
could do. He couldnot prevent or block the cloture vote.
He cannot punish the quote unquote defectors, which again is
(25:24):
a pretty telling term to use under the Senate rules,
and he couldn't stop the bill from reaching the floor
once it's been scheduled. There's really nothing Chuck Schumer could do,
but they want to blame him for it anyway. Here's
an example of some mindless gibberish being spoken again at
(25:48):
the View as usual. But I just want you to
hear I know this is the view, and I know
this is not to be taken seriously in one sense. Right,
in one sense, the thing that they say, the arguments
that they make are patently absurd on the view, I
get it, understand completely. However, in the world we live in,
(26:09):
this is the sort of stuff that a lot of
people listen to. A lot of people listen to. They
think these women know what they're talking about. These women
don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. Sunny Hostin,
I mean, there's a lot to choose from Sunny Houston. Whoope,
Goldberg kind of lead the charge there of not knowing
what they're talking about. However, there's plenty of other contenders
(26:33):
for that as well. I just want you to listen
to this. How many things can she possibly get wrong?
How many talking points is she regurgitating here that have
no basis in reality. Listen to this for yourself, and
how wrong this entire thing is.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Let's be clear, the Republicans run the House, the Republicans
run the Senate, the Republicans run the White House, the
Republicans run the Supreme Court. Or as far as I'm concerned,
this was a choice by Republicans to cut SNAP benefits.
This was a choice by Republicans to cut ACA subsidies.
This was a choice by the Republicans to cut the
federal government in federal employment. Democrats had nothing to do
(27:15):
with it.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I wanted, this is beyond stupid. This listen, I'm sure said, Oh,
I don't know. I don't know that she's a pleasant person.
I'm just gonna be kind to her. This is absolutely moronic.
This is idiotic to the nth degree what she's just said. Listen.
(27:36):
On the one hand, I wrote about this. That's one
of the questions actually that I addressed. Didn't think about
that until I started saying this. That's one of the
questions I've addressed on our website under the new place
where you can ask your questions and all that called
you asked for it, she said, Republicans control the House,
Republicans control the Senate, Republicans control the White House as
(27:57):
far as she's concerned. Republicans controlled the Supreme Court, whatever
the world that's supposed to mean. But Republicans do control
the House, Republicans do control the Senate, Republicans do control
the White House. But again, nuance and context requires that
we explain what that means. That means that they have
a majority, the Filibuster and the Senate. Sonny Houston, I
(28:19):
don't know how to make this any simpler. You either
deliberately don't want to know this, or I mean, I
think that that's what it is. But then you know,
then you're questioning her integrity. She either deliberately doesn't want
to know this, or she is not capable of connecting
the dots. Majority means fifty percent, you know, just a majority,
(28:44):
fifty percent plus that extra person, whatever that percentage comes
out to be. In the Senate, that would be fifty
one percent. Because there's one hundred centers, you would need
fifty one to have a true majority, or even if
it was fifty to fifty, if you have the White House,
the Vice President turns out that Sarah Palin was right
about about this. The vice president breaks the ties. Shockingly,
she was right. We knew this all along when she
(29:05):
said this, and she was made fun of relentlessly and
mocked by Katie Kirk and people out there in the
media and in all across the fruited plane here for
saying something that was true about the vice presidency. But
that's a way to have the majority as well. The
vice president could be the one hundred and first vote.
And if the vice president is in the Republican Party
(29:27):
and Republicans had fifty senators, they would have a fifty
first senator on tie breaking votes with jd Vance as
the vice president. That's how this works. Republicans, however, don't
have sixty. That's a super majority. That's the majority, the
level of majority required to get things done. I've been
through this in the Senate. I have been through this
so many times. It's maddening. First of all, the SNAP
(29:51):
benefits are not connected. Democrats connected them to the Continuing Resolution.
There is a separate piece of legislation that seys them
timeline on the on well, I'm on the on the
benefits for ACA benefits. Excuse me, but the snap benefits.
(30:15):
I confuse two things. They're forgive me. The snap benefits
were only stopped because the Democrats shut down the government. Hello,
this is so ridiculous. Of course this was orchestrated by
the Democrats. Everything she said is just one hundred and
eighty degrees out of whack. If it was down, she
(30:37):
said it was up. If it was right, she said
it was left. Is because she couldn't be more wrong
if she tried. But she's got more to say.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
An opposition party. I think the Democrats caved. I think
the Democrats let down the American people by opening the government.
You will be I have absolutely no faith that the
Republican Party will come to the negotiating table and good faith.
You know, you do something like this, Shame on you
the first time, you do it twice, three times, four times,
(31:08):
Shame on me, Shame on the Democrats. We're even believing
that the Republicans will, you know, even vote on it.
There's no guarantee in this new deal that there's going
to be a vote. There's no even commitment to have
a vote. So the bottom line is the Democrats went
into this after a blue wave out of the American
people saying we do want the opposition. We the working
(31:31):
people want the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
There were a couple of elections in a couple of states,
Blue States. The governor's the governor's races were won by Democrats.
It wasn't entered into after the election. The election was
last week. The shutdown has been forty two days. Just
can you look at a calendar? I feel dumber after
listening to this, my friend, I don't know what to
say about this. It's pathetic, it's sad. I gotta take
(31:58):
a break getting to the end of this segment. At least,
let's set up. I get two more things I want
to get to that I told you. That's all I
care to talk about this. You can go to the
stack of stuff. There's more articles. You can watch the
remaining twenty or thirty seconds or whatever of what Sunny

(34:11):

I'll either talk about it in the newsletter today or
we'll talk about it tomorrow. Trump's lawsuit with the BBC
potential but he's announced will be his lawsuit with the BBC.
But I want to spend some time talking about veterans.
(35:40):
You know, my friends, if you're like me, you know
a lot of people out there who have served in
defense of this great nation, have served in this Maybe
many of you have served in this great nation as well.
And I want to hear you. I want you to
hear me say thank you. What you know. There have
(36:01):
been times in America's history, and I think we're in
one of those times now. But I think back to
the Vietnam War. There have been times in our nation's
history where our military were our veterans, people that put
themselves in harm's way in defense of this great nation.
We're not shown the proper dignity and respect that they deserve.
(36:25):
You know, if you join the military, if you sign
up whatever it is, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,
coast Guard, space Force. Now, if you sign up to
protect this great nation, you're not a policy maker. Your
job is to follow orders. In fact, that's one of
the things that they do very early in the process,
(36:48):
is they make sure that you know that they're in
charge and that you're to follow orders. You're not to
give orders. You don't really even have an opinion. They
don't want you to have an opinion. They want you
to do what the command structure has determined you are
going to do. They don't set the policy. They don't
determine when they go to a certain theater. They don't
(37:10):
determine where they have a base established. They don't they
don't determine the rules of engagement. They don't they don't
determine all of the political factors that go into a
particular situation and scenario. These men and women who signed
up to defend this great nation deserve our applause, our respect,
(37:35):
and today's the day that we can do that. Today
is the day that we can and should do that.
This nation, in order for look, freedom has constantly, it
is constantly under assault. It constantly is threatened by people
who want to take away your freedom. Power is is
(37:59):
a drug to people. Money and power are things that
motivate people to do, sometimes some very incredibly wicked things.
I mean, we all have see this in our own
life and our own world today, but even throughout history
we can see this time and time and time again. Freedom.
God has given us freedom. But freedom must be defended
(38:21):
because there are people who want to take away our
freedom for the lust of power, for the control, for
the riches, for the rewards that they think that they
will get by being the people in control. It takes
an incredible amount of arrogance and self righteousness to think
(38:42):
that you or a particular person is worthy, is qualified
to be in charge of another person's life. And our
founders understood this. They understood that tyranny is always out there,
threats to our freedom and liberty always exist, and so
ultimately the only way to secure those liberties and listen,
(39:05):
I understand I mentioned earlier politicians can sometimes put put
military personnel in predicaments that they shouldn't be in. That's
not the fault of the person who signed up. Some
of these things are absolutely noble and good as well.
Whatever the case. This is my point. Whenever wherever someone served,
(39:27):
whatever their mos was, whatever that they did in the military,
whatever they're doing in the military, it is part of
what protects this great nation, secures our liberty, and it
is a good thing. And thank a veteran today. If
you haven't done that, I highly encourage you to do that.
(39:47):
A lot of these folks haven't been thanked in years,
some have been. Some of them again served at times
that they were not thanked. In fact, they were ridiculed
and even blacklisted for being part of the military during
some of these conflicts and so forth throughout our nation's history,
particular in particular, I think of Vietnam, but I also
(40:08):
think look in some circles today, if you if you
say you served in the War on Terror, there are
people out there that think you're a terrible human being.
You are not what you did. While certainly the government
didn't always make the right decisions, what you did was
fight against an abject evil, and I say thank you.
(40:29):
This nation exists, this nation has freedom because men and
women who sign up for the armed services have stood
in the path, have stood in a position to protect
those of us in this great nation. And I stay
thank you. On this Veterans Day, Happy Veterans Day. I
have to 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.
