Democrats in Congress are now cutting slick videos aimed straight at America’s men and women in uniform, hinting they should refuse “illegal orders” from a second President Trump. Todd breaks down the new clip featuring Rep Jason Crow and others, why Martha MacCallum’s simple question about “which orders” left Crow scrambling, and how the left keeps feeding a dangerous narrative that Trump is a dictator and MAGA is the new Nazi movement. We walk through what the Constitution actually says about the commander in chief, the difference between an unlawful order and a political disagreement, and why winning at the ballot box is still the only real way to stop this madness. Plus, a look ahead to Todd’s favorite show of the year — the true story of Thanksgiving.

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
to the right. And now coming to you from the
(00:29):
full suite Wealth Studios, here is your Conservative but Not
Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well greeting's, my friends, and welcome to today's episode of
The Todd Huff Show. You know, when we have elected
leaders telling the military to refuse orders, it's just unbelievable.
It is absolutely unbelievable. The chaos, the turmoil that's out
there today. We've got a mess on our hands, and
we've got, of course Trump firing back, calling it just behavior.
(01:02):
Let's go through this today and let's kind of set
the stage and let's again to me, there's one clear message.
We don't do themes on this program. I just I
don't do that. We talk about the things that are
happening out there, and then let the chips fall where
they may, but they keep they keep landing. The chips
keep landing in a nice, neat little row that point
(01:27):
to the truth that we absolutely, as conservatives, as Republicans,
as reasonable people, as people who care about and love
this nation. We have got to win elections, and we
have to do whatever is legal, moral and ethical. That's
why I'm so candidly infuriated at the senator of the
(01:50):
Senate here in my state of Indiana. Still haven't heard,
by the way, from Rod Bray about coming on here
and sharing his thoughts on redistricting. And it isn't over.
I can assure you of that. We're just getting started
on that. But we've got to remove these people from office.
We've got to get rid of the people who do
(02:12):
not understand the stakes and what has to be done
to win this fight. Some people like Rod Bray are
fighting this politically. I don't even know if he's fighting it,
but are dealing with these issues as though this is
nineteen fifty or some such thing. I don't know. It's
not the world that we live in at all. We
(02:32):
live in a world that is being threatened by extreme people.
Extreme people who are calling if Trump, it's just if
Trump called for the military under Biden to not listen
to his orders. We all know exactly what the response
would be. It is unbelievable to me the place that
(02:54):
we have gotten in this country, and it's it's just
it's chaos. Now. The good news is is that we
actually have a lot of things heading headed in the
right direction. In fact, you may have seen today's Todd
talk was about the jobs reports. There were more than
(03:15):
double the amount of new jobs created in September that
were expected. I think there were one hundred and nineteen thousand.
The estimates were somewhere around fifty thousand, and those are
good steps. We had a leader, the Biden regime, led
this country down a path that was destructive, economically destructive.
(03:38):
I don't think we still have fully grasped just how
destructive the policies under Biden that were ushered in by
the Democrat Party led by the radical leftist how devastating
they truly were. Yes we experienced it, Yes it was terrible,
and yes we still have not fully recovered. Things are stable,
(04:00):
things are improving. But we were decimated, decimated in ways economically, decimated,
in ways, culturally decimated, in ways that relate to the
way that liberty is viewed in this kind. We were
decimated by these policies and by this leadership of the
Biden regime, and now that we have the power political power,
(04:27):
we're doing some things about it. But we are getting
met with obstructionists all along the way, and we've got
to defeat these folks politically at the ballot box in
the marketplace of ideas. And that's what I want to
talk about today, my friends. Again, still dealing a little
bit with the voice situation. I apologize, it's I think
it's largely fine, but it it's occasionally I got to
(04:52):
fight through it. It's it's I get this every year.
I thought I got through. I got through this one
time earlier without uh, without probably any of you noticing.
But I'm fighting it today. So doing my best here
to keep that going. But if you want to be
part of the conversation, show your thoughts and opinions, you
can always email Todd at totefshow dot com. You can
also go to the website. You can put your questions
(05:14):
and feedback there. Some of these things will end up
on our website. I answer questions. We're building out that
portion of the website. I want to be as resourceful
and helpful as possible, answering your questions for you, but
also answering them for others to hear as well, for
folks who have the same questions or who want to
engage in the same sort of discourse and dialogue. I
(05:36):
welcome that at the email tod at totefshow dot com
or on our website. All right, let's now calibrate here,
my friends. Let me ask you something here off the top, though.
If you had the choice between spending hours in the
doctor's office getting tests and everything else, just talk with
(06:00):
your doctor, would you prefer to do that or would
you prefer to take two soft gels a day? Because
I know what I would prefer. That's why I have
Saltea here in the huff household and take the product
as well. You can too. It's been proven by science
to reduce cholesterol for a lot of folks maybe able
(06:20):
to do the same thing for you. It's affordable, it's
a great first step list. And I like my doctor usually.
It's been a friend of mine, you know, I've known
him since the time he was a teenager, believe it
or not. So he's all right. He's an alright guy.
But I don't mind talking to him usually. But I
don't want to spend hours in the office talking about
(06:40):
my health. Listen, there's times for that, and sometimes it's necessary.
But if I can prevent having to have those conversations,
then that's the better path to go. An ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of cure. Check out
salty salty dot com. It's very affordable. Science is on
its side the history of high cholesterol heart issues, either

code Todd. All right, so let's get started here today.
(07:27):
I don't remember if I played this entire thing, if
I just referenced it. I think I mentioned it either
on the program or on the on Our Todd Talk.
And the the Democrats, So Democrats in the House and Senate,
(07:48):
six of them got together and they made a video.
Now they didn't make a video of their own accord.
Of course, somebody who's been studying messaging, the Democrat party
apparatus us, the party of well, the messaging firm of
the the woke well, the woke movement and so forth.
(08:08):
They got these folks together and said, hey, you guys
have all served in the military. By the way, I
appreciate their service in the military, regardless of their political affiliation.
I don't really appreciate what they did, though. What did
they do? They got on camera and they started telling
members or service members, I should say, to not follow
(08:29):
orders given by Trump, to defy orders from of course
President Trump, Secretary of Defense or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
They said, don't listen to these guys, which is constitutionally listen.
I know the context is king and nuanced matters. We
talk about the details and explain these things on this program,
(08:54):
even even in this case where I'm going to tell
you that there are times when, in theory, military members
should not obey orders if they're truly illegal and unconstitutional.
You know, you go back to what happened with the
Nazis in Germany and so forth. You know, it's so
interesting to me, so interesting to me when I think
(09:15):
about the Holocaust and think about those evils and how
unified the world was. Thankfully, by the way, Thankfully, I
don't mean this as a criticism. I just want to
point out that there's a logical inconsistency happening here. But
the world was on the side, by and large of
what was good in World War Two. They fought against
(09:37):
the evils of Nazi Germany. They fought against and stood out,
stood up against, and wanted consequences for those people who
were involved with the evils of the Holocaust. And we
understood objectively right and wrong back then. But what's interesting
to me today when I think about that, is we've
(09:58):
got a group of people who tell us that the
Holocaust either wasn't objectively wrong. I hear these people out
there today, which is mind boggling to me, or they'll
tell us it was objectively wrong. But because they have
no solid ground if they don't believe in a creator,
(10:19):
there's no there's no objective way to say that it
was wrong if there's not a creator, if there's not
an objective moral code, And it would seem strange to
hold people like in the Nuremberg Trials accountable for doing
acts of evil, performing acts of evil even though it
was given the orders were given to them by their
(10:41):
by their leader Hitler and the other lunatics in that regime.
It would seem odd to simply say you are held
accountable for something that we find socially unacceptable instead of just,
you know, absolutely morally wicked and depraved. But that's what happened,
and at the time, and in those days, we had
(11:03):
a pretty clear perspective on what was good and what
was evil. We've lost that today in this country, we've
got a group of people that are wandering around out
there that have no idea morally speaking, which way is
up and down. They have no basis for how they
determine what's right and wrong. A lot of these folks
(11:24):
want to deny that there's a creator. Listen, you can
try as many ways as you as you might. It's
impossible to come up with an objective rationale for morality
if you do not have a moral law giver, if
you do not have a creator, it just isn't possible.
It becomes suddenly up to the whims of people on
(11:47):
planet Earth, or even up to an individual. But how
can I enforce my view of morality if it's not
objective on somebody else? So you have chaos, And this
is at the root of the Democrat Party. So as
these folks are speaking to you here, lecturing our troops
about not taking orders from the commander in chief, by
the way, who's constitutionally able and in the position of
(12:09):
power to give such orders. They're now telling our troops
in this video not to listen to President Trump. And
I'll give you a flavor of that by playing what
they said here. I pulled on had to go to
another load, another page first.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Sir Mark Kelly, Representative christ Let Mariquet.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So they're going to introduce themselves at first. This is
about ninety seconds. I thought this was about a minute.
I'm just going to play this for you, and I'm
gonna try. I'm gonna withhold. I'm gonna be silent for
ninety seconds. Here, let's listen to the video. Here we go.
I'm Senator Alyssa Stockins.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio, congress good Lander, Representative
Christy Whoolahn, Congressman Jason Crowe.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
I was a captain in the United States.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Navy, former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Ranger, former intelligence former Air Force.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
We want to speak directly to members of the military.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
And the intelligence community to take risks each day to
keep Americans safe.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
This administration is pitting our uniform military.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
You all swore an oath.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
To protect and defend this constitution. Right now, the threats
to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from
right here at home.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Your vigilance is critical.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
And know that we have your back, because now more than.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Ever, the American people need you.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution,
and who we are as Americans.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Don't give up the ship. Don't give up the ship.
That's the words on the screen here, I mean very dramatic.
You heard the music there, So the question would become
What orders are they opposing? Right? I mean that to
me is the next logical question. By the way, I
think I mentioned this before this, this gives the vibe
(14:27):
of to me, if you remember back when Trump was
elected in twenty sixteen, and after that initial period of
shock that the Democrats had when they screamed at the
universe and everything else, they finally got their wits about
them and thought, we got to stop this guy. This
guy serious. This guy isn't like people most people who
(14:48):
win president become president of the United States, who win
the presidential election. This guy seems kind of serious about
building that wall and making America great again, something that unfortunately,
many of these jokers that you just listened to have
a problem with America's greatness as set forth and founded
(15:12):
by those who helped establish this great nation, our founding fathers. Nonetheless,
nonetheless these it reminds me of again that the video
I was that popped into mind is after the twenty
sixteen election. I remember Sheen Martin. Sheen was the lead narrator,
(15:34):
but there were other members not Congress of Hollywood as
well who got on camera and who begged the Electoral
College to not vote for President Trump. You could say
this was the first attempt at overthrowing our election and
subverting our democracy. This is, by the way, this sort
of thing has happened before, where an election was you know,
(15:57):
the outcome was determined, and then other individuals tried to
influence the next steps in the process, keeping the person
who won the election from actually winning the election that matters,
that's the electoral College vote. Anyway, this reminds me of
that the same sort of pathetic approach, But it begs
(16:19):
the question here, what order are you so upset about?
What are the orders that you would want members of Congress,
members of Congress to actually members of the military to
not follow. Because if you talk in code, if I mean,
(16:45):
if you're just saying, we're preparing you for what might happen,
don't obey an illegal order. Well, what is an illegal order? Right?
We've already mentioned that there are provisions in the law
that allow people to not follow an illegal order. But
that is something that is pretty important that we determine.
(17:07):
You can't just say. You can't just say I don't
like the guy in office, so therefore it's an illegal order.
You can't just say I think Trump stole the election
with Elon Musk and Musk's satellites with with you know,
his his high technology and his ability to steal elections.
(17:28):
There are, by the way, leftists, you believe that you
can't say that because of that, I'm not going to
follow Trump. There has to be something that you can
articulate that you can be reasonable in your articulation as
to why something is illegal, and that is that is
something that is obviously it seems to me the starting point.
(17:54):
So Martha McCallum had one of these representatives on her
show talking about this video, and she asked him numerous times,
I think four times in all. She asked him to
explain articulate the reasons that Trump should be the reasons
(18:22):
the illegal orders I should say that Trump has provided
that the military should not be should not be following.
She asked four separate times, and every time, every single time,
he was unable to give specifics. Now that seems relevant
to me. Why make a video telling members of our
(18:46):
active duty armed forces to not obey lawful orders if
you cannot tell us what lawful order unlawful order I
should say has been given that they should not include
that they should not be following, and that to me
seems to be the relevant part of the conversation here today.
(19:11):
So that's what I want to talk about here in
a moment. Before I do that, though, my friends, let's
talk about something that is important. That's your money. You
worked hard for it, but is it working hard for you? Well,
my friends, at four eight Financial, they specialize in biblically
responsible and that means that means audio came in my
(19:37):
ear there and into your speakers as well. That means
that they screen out companies that don't align with your
faith and your values, and they'll help create a plan
that fits your goals and your purpose. The best part
is they do all that heavy lifting for you and
they show you if or to what extent your current
investments stack up against your values. You have to do
(20:00):
is go to four eight financial dot com slash todd
that's for eight financial dot com slash todd for eight
financial helping you align your money with your mission. And
when you go to that website, you can complete an
assessment and they will take that information and tell you
to what degree your current investments align with your values.
(20:21):
All right, So that being said, that being said, let's
what I want to do next is spend a little
bit of time here playing a bit of this, of
this interview, of this interview that Martha McCallum had, And
again the idea here is to the side determine which
(20:45):
laws this is. By the way, Representative Jason Crow, she
asked him multiple times, which laws are you telling the
US military members to followed by Trump? It seems to
be relevant, it seems to be important. You can't just
(21:05):
be talking in the abstract constantly. At some point, you've
got the chickens have to come home to rooster, and
you've got to land on an example. Here's that exchange.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
What why are you talking about that's being broken? And
then you said that he's implying that he might do
something that they wouldn't want to uphold or follow through
with in the future. What are you talking about specifically?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate you asking him well. Number one,
the protest at Lafayette Square in the first Trump administration
where he said can't you just shoot them? Can't you
just shoot them in the legs or something? That's a
direct quote. And of course, other than Chairman of the
Joint Quartercraft, that was not a military order, that was
a comment that it was, well, that's coming from the
President of the United States to your commit to your generals.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Don't you think that's a request.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
That I'm asking specifically right now to what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Number two, he's also threatened to send the military into
Chicago and other cities to quote go to war with
those cities, right.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That is a very very disturbing thing.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Number Three, he's also alluded to sending troops to polling stations,
which is actually a violation of US law. US criminal
law prohibits troops from going to polling stations, and he's
alluded to that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
So those are just one of many examples.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
You're talking about Trump illusions. You're not talking about actual policy.
You're not talking about things that are members of our
service members who we revere and respect, are actually being
asked to do so when you see this video on
all over the place, when you see this video.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm all right, I'm out of time here. I got
a pause. We'll pick this up and get into this
in the next segment. But she's saying, look, you're talking
about illusions. You're talking about comments, statements, questions that what's
the order that he's given that has been illegal. He's
got nothing, by the way. He's got nothing, by the way.
But yet they're out there making this video, making political
hay out of this to further the narrative of the
(22:55):
extreme radical left. Timeouts in order, here though, my friends,
quick time out back in just a minute. Welcome back,
my friends. Here we are on this Friday, the Friday
before Thanksgiving. Next week, by the way, is going to
(23:17):
be an abbreviated and short week. It is my favorite
holiday of the year. It'll be a little bit of
a special week. We'll be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we
will not be here. Thursday. We will not be here. Friday,
we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving again, my favorite holiday, and there's
a lot of reasons for that. I love Thanksgiving. But
(23:42):
on Wednesday, we do what's probably my favorite program of
the year. It's the True Story of Thanksgiving. We do
this every year for two reasons. This is something that
Rush Limbaugh used to do on his program every Wednesday
before Thanksgiving, and I heard him do this, and it's
(24:03):
it was my favorite episode, which is saying a lot.
It was my favorite episode of his every year, so
I wanted to continue that as a not not to
steal from him, that's not the point. The point is
to take the story that he was telling and to
share it and to continue his legacy because he was
(24:23):
so instrumental in helping to guide this country through some
very very precarious times. I don't know where we would
be today without the late Great Rush Limbaugh as a nation.
And then, of course, just just for the educational component
of this, it the real story, the true story of Thanksgiving.
What we could really learn if we dig down, is
(24:46):
so so critically important to our understanding of the blessings
we have here, the advantages of free market capitalism over
government managed socialism, and all the things that came from
the prosperity of free market capitalism. So I'm looking forward
to that. That will be on Wednesday, But next week
(25:08):
is a shortened week. So before the break I played
this clip, or at least part of this. I'm going
to play this again, go back to the beginning here.
I want you to listen to the entire thing. I
might pause it, I'm not entirely sure, but again, Martha
McCallum is talking with Representative Jason Crowe. Jason Crowe is
he's a member of Congress Democrat. He is again trying
(25:34):
to not answer her direct question. He doesn't give an
example of it. He gives examples of things that could
have been a in illegal order, but they but none
of these were, None of these were. In fact, he
goes all the way back. You think about this, Why
are you just now making this video, mister Crow, Representative Crow?
If the example you cite at the beginning goes back
(25:56):
to Trump's first term, why didn't you make this video? Then?
I mean, none of this make sense. But what's underlying
this entire thing is the left once a narrative that
says Trump is a dictator, Trump is Nazi, Trump is
bad Maga is the modern day Nazi movement. That's what
they want you to believe. That's the narrative that they
(26:16):
are searching for, that they're trying to use to get
traction moving into the midterms. Now, I would tell you,
if they were so confident about winning the midterm elections
and so forth, would this be their messaging? Would this
be their messaging? See? See this is this reeks of desperation.
To me. This shows that the only chance they really
(26:39):
think that they have at winning is trying to convince
the American people that their government is basically Hitler's Nazi
regime two point zero. That's what they want you to believe.
And when you come to grips with that, and then
you think, my goodness, We've had people shot or shot at, murdered.
We've had all sorts of political violence. We've had the
(27:00):
justification of riots in our city streets by these radical
leftists from Antifa to Black Lives Matter. You've had all
these things, and the we're gonna they're going to try
to ramp this up further. They're going to turn up
the heat. Remember I said last week or maybe earlier
this week about Hunter Biden. I did a Todd talk
(27:22):
on that where Hunter Biden said he thought the temperature
needed to be turned up politically, rhetorically today apparently, and
I asked the question, where does one turn the heat
up to? He was specifically talking about the assassination in
the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, How do
you turn the heat up and why would you want to?
From political assassination, where does one go from there? Genocide
(27:45):
of your political enemies. I mean, I don't know where
you even go to turn the heat up from political assassinations.
But that's where we are, that's where we find ourselves today,
and this is this is prepare yourself. This is where
we're going. This is the only chance they think they
have to win, and so they make this stupid video
making it sound like they're pleading with our service members
(28:06):
to stop being used like Nazi war criminals. Because Trump
is Hitler and you got to listen and defy his
orders if you want to be a real American. And
that's what this is about. This is about political posturing.
This has no basis at all in reality, and you
can find that out simply by listening to his response,
his representative Crow's responses here and I'm going to play
(28:27):
this again. I'm going to get through this and we'll
talk about this. But here he is talking with Marciacudi,
Martha McCallum, who, again I would say answering her questions,
but he doesn't answer her questions. And you'll hear that
as I play this here. It is talking about that's
being broken.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
And then you said that he's implying that he might
do something that they wouldn't want to uphold or follow
through with in the future. What are you talking about specifically.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate you asking him well. Number one,
the protest with Lafayette Square in the first Trump administration,
where he said, can't you just shoot them? Can't you
just shoot them in the legs or something, that's a
direct quote, and of course other than terman.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Of the doing that was not a military order.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That was a comment when it wasn't an order. It
wasn't if that even happened, it was. It's a question
and if again, if Trump is trying to give order,
asking a question as to whether something can be done
is asking what the rules are. I mean, even whatever
reality is regarding a situation, or whether that was ever
(29:28):
uttered or whatever, asking what can be done is in
fact showing that one cares about the about the way
the law concerning the orders that one can give. He
wouldn't have asked a question. If he was, he would
have said, hey, go out and slaughter them, and then
(29:50):
the military would have done it. If that would have happened.
That I understand why your video, mister Crow, would be
in existence. But it's not what happened at all. You're
telling us what you think might happen, what you think
Trump was trying to cause to happen. But yet you
still have no evidence for any of this. But he
continues here.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Well, that's coming from the President of the United States
to your commit to your generals.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Don't you think that's a request now?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Think it wouldn't be a question?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
One? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Number two, he's also threatened to send the military into
Chicago and other cities to go to war with those cities.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Right, that is a very very disturbing thing.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Number three, Well, pause, I meant to pause that there. So, yeah,
he's there are examples, according to US law, where the
National Guard can be deployed. Again, what part of this
is illegal. You can question whether or not whether or
not the conditions are such that this can be done.
(30:50):
You can question the political calculations here, the consequences of
this or whatever. You can have problems with it. But
to act like there's no example where the National Guard
can be sent in that's that's not the case. It's
not the case either. Give us an example here, representative growth. Please.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
It's also alluded to sending troops to polling stations, which
is actually the violation of US law. US criminal law
prohibits troops from going to polling states and he's alluded
to that.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So those are just one of many example.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
You're talking about Trump illusions. You're not talking about actual policy.
You're not talking about things that are members of our
service members who we revere and respect, are actually being asked.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
To do so.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
When you see this video on exactly all over the place,
When you see this video social media, I think a
lot of people scratch their heads and they say, what,
what exactly are they talking about? Are they talking about
not allowing gunboats to make it to the United States
carrying drugs? Is I mean that what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Martha, here's a novel idea.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
How about we actually prevent things from happening before they
become a problem.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
I think that's what they're trying to do.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
That you're what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
What you're saying is we have to wait until there's
ab to respond to that problem.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
No, I'm not right.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
As a military officer, what I think is important is
we train people, We give them information, We prepare people
for challenges.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Coming down there stupidity.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
That is what I did as a commander in the military.
That's what I'm doing now as we are standing by
our troops, we are reminding them from.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
The commanderield that you are a military to carry out
Are you objecting to this is very, very vague, and
it was so vague in this video nobody only people could.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Sorry, but that's the end of the clip. So he
doesn't give an answer. What are you talking about? Specifically?
What are you talking about? Give me a specific answer
explanation here? He can't do it because there isn't one.
He wants to do this proactively, you know, he wants
to get in front of this. Well, why don't you
make a video about every potential thing that could happen
(32:51):
in the United States government, Like I don't know, the
Democrat Party abusing its power when they're in control of
the House of Representatives to impeach the president. Let's get
out there and do a d about that as well.
I've got to take a break here, my friends. You're
curious about kretom, trying to figure out who to trust

(33:55):
True tradition, transparency. Time out here for me, my friends,
Quick time out back in just a minute. Welcome back,
my friends. Trump of course does not sit back quietly here.
He responds to the video and what's being requested of
(34:15):
these members of Congress as it pertains to the military,
active military following the orders of the commander in chief today.
Trump of course is not going to sit back and
take this quietly. He calls this seditious behavior at the
highest levels. Stephen Miller also is out there. I don't
(34:36):
have time to get to his clip today, but I
do have it in the stack of stuff he did.
Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller said that this video, the
original video which I played in the first segment, not
that interview with Martha McCallum, but the interview about that,
(34:56):
or mean, the original video about which that interview focused
was a call for rebellion. That's what Stephen Miller said,
and he called it an insurrection, plainly and directly. So
Trump responded, says, this is seditious behavior at the highest level.
He re truth. I think that's the way you say it.
(35:17):
For the Truth social media platform. Somebody posted on truth
social to one of Trump's comments about this being seditious
at the highest behavior, someone said hang them George Washington would,
and Trump reposted that. Trump also pointed out the seditious
(35:38):
behavior can be punishable by death, and so you've got
I mean, it's it's really obviously ratcheted up here by
the way. Sedition seditious conspiracy eighteen US Code two three
eight four conspiring by force to hinder or oppose the
US government. Now, there's of course interpretations on everything. Some
(36:04):
say that this sort of thing requires force. Others say,
if you're calling for something that basically undermines the way
that the government is supposed to operate, that that can
fall under that particular category treason, by the way, that's
when you levy war against the United States or give
(36:27):
aid and comfort to our enemies, punishable of course by
death or prison. That's not This isn't really treason us
in the legal sense that you can say it's treason
us in the general sense of the word, where you're
undermining your country. But this isn't legally treason in that sense.
But it's definitely undermining our democracy. You know, it's remarkable
(36:51):
to me. You've got these these people who have gotten
these platforms, who have cried and wailed about these things
for years now, things like Trump stole the election, or
Trump is caused an insurrection on January sixth of twenty
twenty one. Trump is a Nazi. Trump is this? Trump
(37:15):
is that? Trump is a danger. Trump wants to make
himself king. We just had a no King's, no King's Day,
no King's protests here a couple of couple of weeks
ago this stuff, or maybe a month or so ago. Whatever.
But the point is this what they're accusing Trump of.
They're actively trying to prevent him from having certain constitutional authorities.
(37:40):
They're encouraging the military to not follow his orders. When
he is by well, according to the constitution, the commander
in chief. That means he's in control of the military forces.
What his orders are the troops are supposed to follow. Now,
certainly they don't don't have to follow illegal orders, but
(38:02):
you have to articulate why they are illegal. Saying that
Trump alluded to something in a question or comment that
is probably a questionable comment or question to begin with,
meaning I don't even know if it's a legitimate quote
of his. If you say he alluded to that, therefore
that becomes an order, that's absurd. Asking a question is
(38:24):
not giving an order. In fact, those are those are different.
Do you think for those of you who served in
the military, did your commanding officers, those who had authority
over you, did they ever ask you to do stuff?
Hey guys, let's do you guys care if we go
out and go on a little run here? Do you care?
Is it okay with everybody? If we go out and
(38:45):
do a certain field exercise? Is that okay? Is that
how that worked? I mean, it's just it's so stupid
to me. Anyone who has the slightest bit of sensibility
and reason can say questions, even listen I'm not even
granting that the question was legitimately asked by Trump. But
a question isn't an order. An illusion isn't an order.
(39:08):
He can't give examples, but yet he's making a video
telling troops to disobey the commander in chief potentially, and
he can't articulate which order they should not be obeying.
What is really going on here, my friends, I've told
you off the top this is about politics as as always,
(39:28):
my friends, I'm getting to the end of the program here.

that being said, I gotta start wrapping up here today.
But we are listen, this is only going to intensify.
As I said in the Todd Talk today, as I've
said on this program for a while, the one way
through this, the one way we fix this problem, the
one way we stop the shenanigans here, is that we
(40:33):
win politically. We defeat these lunatics, and we have to
win on multiple fronts, but we definitely have to win
at the ballot box here, my friends. So I gotta
wrap up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. We'll
see you Monday. 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
to the right. And now coming to you from the
(00:29):
full suite Wealth Studios, here is your Conservative but Not
Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well greeting's, my friends, and welcome to today's episode of
The Todd Huff Show. You know, when we have elected
leaders telling the military to refuse orders, it's just unbelievable.
It is absolutely unbelievable. The chaos, the turmoil that's out
there today. We've got a mess on our hands, and
we've got, of course Trump firing back, calling it just behavior.
(01:02):
Let's go through this today and let's kind of set
the stage and let's again to me, there's one clear message.
We don't do themes on this program. I just I
don't do that. We talk about the things that are
happening out there, and then let the chips fall where
they may, but they keep they keep landing. The chips
keep landing in a nice, neat little row that point
(01:27):
to the truth that we absolutely, as conservatives, as Republicans,
as reasonable people, as people who care about and love
this nation. We have got to win elections, and we
have to do whatever is legal, moral and ethical. That's
why I'm so candidly infuriated at the senator of the
(01:50):
Senate here in my state of Indiana. Still haven't heard,
by the way, from Rod Bray about coming on here
and sharing his thoughts on redistricting. And it isn't over.
I can assure you of that. We're just getting started
on that. But we've got to remove these people from office.
We've got to get rid of the people who do
(02:12):
not understand the stakes and what has to be done
to win this fight. Some people like Rod Bray are
fighting this politically. I don't even know if he's fighting it,
but are dealing with these issues as though this is
nineteen fifty or some such thing. I don't know. It's
not the world that we live in at all. We
(02:32):
live in a world that is being threatened by extreme people.
Extreme people who are calling if Trump, it's just if
Trump called for the military under Biden to not listen
to his orders. We all know exactly what the response
would be. It is unbelievable to me the place that
(02:54):
we have gotten in this country, and it's it's just
it's chaos. Now. The good news is is that we
actually have a lot of things heading headed in the
right direction. In fact, you may have seen today's Todd
talk was about the jobs reports. There were more than
(03:15):
double the amount of new jobs created in September that
were expected. I think there were one hundred and nineteen thousand.
The estimates were somewhere around fifty thousand, and those are
good steps. We had a leader, the Biden regime, led
this country down a path that was destructive, economically destructive.
(03:38):
I don't think we still have fully grasped just how
destructive the policies under Biden that were ushered in by
the Democrat Party led by the radical leftist how devastating
they truly were. Yes we experienced it, Yes it was terrible,
and yes we still have not fully recovered. Things are stable,
(04:00):
things are improving. But we were decimated, decimated in ways economically, decimated,
in ways, culturally decimated, in ways that relate to the
way that liberty is viewed in this kind. We were
decimated by these policies and by this leadership of the
Biden regime, and now that we have the power political power,
(04:27):
we're doing some things about it. But we are getting
met with obstructionists all along the way, and we've got
to defeat these folks politically at the ballot box in
the marketplace of ideas. And that's what I want to
talk about today, my friends. Again, still dealing a little
bit with the voice situation. I apologize, it's I think
it's largely fine, but it it's occasionally I got to
(04:52):
fight through it. It's it's I get this every year.
I thought I got through. I got through this one
time earlier without uh, without probably any of you noticing.
But I'm fighting it today. So doing my best here
to keep that going. But if you want to be
part of the conversation, show your thoughts and opinions, you
can always email Todd at totefshow dot com. You can
also go to the website. You can put your questions
(05:14):
and feedback there. Some of these things will end up
on our website. I answer questions. We're building out that
portion of the website. I want to be as resourceful
and helpful as possible, answering your questions for you, but
also answering them for others to hear as well, for
folks who have the same questions or who want to
engage in the same sort of discourse and dialogue. I
(05:36):
welcome that at the email tod at totefshow dot com
or on our website. All right, let's now calibrate here,
my friends. Let me ask you something here off the top, though.
If you had the choice between spending hours in the
doctor's office getting tests and everything else, just talk with
(06:00):
your doctor, would you prefer to do that or would
you prefer to take two soft gels a day? Because
I know what I would prefer. That's why I have
Saltea here in the huff household and take the product
as well. You can too. It's been proven by science
to reduce cholesterol for a lot of folks maybe able
(06:20):
to do the same thing for you. It's affordable, it's
a great first step list. And I like my doctor usually.
It's been a friend of mine, you know, I've known
him since the time he was a teenager, believe it
or not. So he's all right. He's an alright guy.
But I don't mind talking to him usually. But I
don't want to spend hours in the office talking about
(06:40):
my health. Listen, there's times for that, and sometimes it's necessary.
But if I can prevent having to have those conversations,
then that's the better path to go. An ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of cure. Check out
salty salty dot com. It's very affordable. Science is on
its side the history of high cholesterol heart issues, either

code Todd. All right, so let's get started here today.
(07:27):
I don't remember if I played this entire thing, if
I just referenced it. I think I mentioned it either
on the program or on the on Our Todd Talk.
And the the Democrats, So Democrats in the House and Senate,
(07:48):
six of them got together and they made a video.
Now they didn't make a video of their own accord.
Of course, somebody who's been studying messaging, the Democrat party
apparatus us, the party of well, the messaging firm of
the the woke well, the woke movement and so forth.
(08:08):
They got these folks together and said, hey, you guys
have all served in the military. By the way, I
appreciate their service in the military, regardless of their political affiliation.
I don't really appreciate what they did, though. What did
they do? They got on camera and they started telling
members or service members, I should say, to not follow
(08:29):
orders given by Trump, to defy orders from of course
President Trump, Secretary of Defense or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
They said, don't listen to these guys, which is constitutionally listen.
I know the context is king and nuanced matters. We
talk about the details and explain these things on this program,
(08:54):
even even in this case where I'm going to tell
you that there are times when, in theory, military members
should not obey orders if they're truly illegal and unconstitutional.
You know, you go back to what happened with the
Nazis in Germany and so forth. You know, it's so
interesting to me, so interesting to me when I think
(09:15):
about the Holocaust and think about those evils and how
unified the world was. Thankfully, by the way, Thankfully, I
don't mean this as a criticism. I just want to
point out that there's a logical inconsistency happening here. But
the world was on the side, by and large of
what was good in World War Two. They fought against
(09:37):
the evils of Nazi Germany. They fought against and stood out,
stood up against, and wanted consequences for those people who
were involved with the evils of the Holocaust. And we
understood objectively right and wrong back then. But what's interesting
to me today when I think about that, is we've
(09:58):
got a group of people who tell us that the
Holocaust either wasn't objectively wrong. I hear these people out
there today, which is mind boggling to me, or they'll
tell us it was objectively wrong. But because they have
no solid ground if they don't believe in a creator,
(10:19):
there's no there's no objective way to say that it
was wrong if there's not a creator, if there's not
an objective moral code, And it would seem strange to
hold people like in the Nuremberg Trials accountable for doing
acts of evil, performing acts of evil even though it
was given the orders were given to them by their
(10:41):
by their leader Hitler and the other lunatics in that regime.
It would seem odd to simply say you are held
accountable for something that we find socially unacceptable instead of just,
you know, absolutely morally wicked and depraved. But that's what happened,
and at the time, and in those days, we had
(11:03):
a pretty clear perspective on what was good and what
was evil. We've lost that today in this country, we've
got a group of people that are wandering around out
there that have no idea morally speaking, which way is
up and down. They have no basis for how they
determine what's right and wrong. A lot of these folks
(11:24):
want to deny that there's a creator. Listen, you can
try as many ways as you as you might. It's
impossible to come up with an objective rationale for morality
if you do not have a moral law giver, if
you do not have a creator, it just isn't possible.
It becomes suddenly up to the whims of people on
(11:47):
planet Earth, or even up to an individual. But how
can I enforce my view of morality if it's not
objective on somebody else? So you have chaos, And this
is at the root of the Democrat Party. So as
these folks are speaking to you here, lecturing our troops
about not taking orders from the commander in chief, by
the way, who's constitutionally able and in the position of
(12:09):
power to give such orders. They're now telling our troops
in this video not to listen to President Trump. And
I'll give you a flavor of that by playing what
they said here. I pulled on had to go to
another load, another page first.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Sir Mark Kelly, Representative christ Let Mariquet.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So they're going to introduce themselves at first. This is
about ninety seconds. I thought this was about a minute.
I'm just going to play this for you, and I'm
gonna try. I'm gonna withhold. I'm gonna be silent for
ninety seconds. Here, let's listen to the video. Here we go.
I'm Senator Alyssa Stockins.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio, congress good Lander, Representative
Christy Whoolahn, Congressman Jason Crowe.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
I was a captain in the United States.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Navy, former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Ranger, former intelligence former Air Force.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
We want to speak directly to members of the military.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
And the intelligence community to take risks each day to
keep Americans safe.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
This administration is pitting our uniform military.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
You all swore an oath.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
To protect and defend this constitution. Right now, the threats
to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from
right here at home.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Your vigilance is critical.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
And know that we have your back, because now more than.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Ever, the American people need you.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution,
and who we are as Americans.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Don't give up the ship. Don't give up the ship.
That's the words on the screen here, I mean very dramatic.
You heard the music there, So the question would become
What orders are they opposing? Right? I mean that to
me is the next logical question. By the way, I
think I mentioned this before this, this gives the vibe
(14:27):
of to me, if you remember back when Trump was
elected in twenty sixteen, and after that initial period of
shock that the Democrats had when they screamed at the
universe and everything else, they finally got their wits about
them and thought, we got to stop this guy. This
guy serious. This guy isn't like people most people who
(14:48):
win president become president of the United States, who win
the presidential election. This guy seems kind of serious about
building that wall and making America great again, something that unfortunately,
many of these jokers that you just listened to have
a problem with America's greatness as set forth and founded
(15:12):
by those who helped establish this great nation, our founding fathers. Nonetheless,
nonetheless these it reminds me of again that the video
I was that popped into mind is after the twenty
sixteen election. I remember Sheen Martin. Sheen was the lead narrator,
(15:34):
but there were other members not Congress of Hollywood as
well who got on camera and who begged the Electoral
College to not vote for President Trump. You could say
this was the first attempt at overthrowing our election and
subverting our democracy. This is, by the way, this sort
of thing has happened before, where an election was you know,
(15:57):
the outcome was determined, and then other individuals tried to
influence the next steps in the process, keeping the person
who won the election from actually winning the election that matters,
that's the electoral College vote. Anyway, this reminds me of
that the same sort of pathetic approach, But it begs
(16:19):
the question here, what order are you so upset about?
What are the orders that you would want members of Congress,
members of Congress to actually members of the military to
not follow. Because if you talk in code, if I mean,
(16:45):
if you're just saying, we're preparing you for what might happen,
don't obey an illegal order. Well, what is an illegal order? Right?
We've already mentioned that there are provisions in the law
that allow people to not follow an illegal order. But
that is something that is pretty important that we determine.
(17:07):
You can't just say. You can't just say I don't
like the guy in office, so therefore it's an illegal order.
You can't just say I think Trump stole the election
with Elon Musk and Musk's satellites with with you know,
his his high technology and his ability to steal elections.
(17:28):
There are, by the way, leftists, you believe that you
can't say that because of that, I'm not going to
follow Trump. There has to be something that you can
articulate that you can be reasonable in your articulation as
to why something is illegal, and that is that is
something that is obviously it seems to me the starting point.
(17:54):
So Martha McCallum had one of these representatives on her
show talking about this video, and she asked him numerous times,
I think four times in all. She asked him to
explain articulate the reasons that Trump should be the reasons
(18:22):
the illegal orders I should say that Trump has provided
that the military should not be should not be following.
She asked four separate times, and every time, every single time,
he was unable to give specifics. Now that seems relevant
to me. Why make a video telling members of our
(18:46):
active duty armed forces to not obey lawful orders if
you cannot tell us what lawful order unlawful order I
should say has been given that they should not include
that they should not be following, and that to me
seems to be the relevant part of the conversation here today.
(19:11):
So that's what I want to talk about here in
a moment. Before I do that, though, my friends, let's
talk about something that is important. That's your money. You
worked hard for it, but is it working hard for you? Well,
my friends, at four eight Financial, they specialize in biblically
responsible and that means that means audio came in my
(19:37):
ear there and into your speakers as well. That means
that they screen out companies that don't align with your
faith and your values, and they'll help create a plan
that fits your goals and your purpose. The best part
is they do all that heavy lifting for you and
they show you if or to what extent your current
investments stack up against your values. You have to do
(20:00):
is go to four eight financial dot com slash todd

(20:21):
All right, So that being said, that being said, let's
what I want to do next is spend a little
bit of time here playing a bit of this, of
this interview, of this interview that Martha McCallum had, And
again the idea here is to the side determine which
(20:45):
laws this is. By the way, Representative Jason Crow, she
asked him multiple times, which laws are you telling the
US military members to followed by Trump? It seems to
be relevant, it seems to be important. You can't just
(21:05):
be talking in the abstract constantly. At some point, you've
got the chickens have to come home to rooster, and
you've got to land on an example. Here's that exchange.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
What why are you talking about that's being broken? And
then you said that he's implying that he might do
something that they wouldn't want to uphold or follow through
with in the future. What are you talking about specifically?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate you asking him well. Number one,
the protest at Lafayette Square in the first Trump administration
where he said can't you just shoot them? Can't you
just shoot them in the legs or something? That's a
direct quote. And of course, other than Chairman of the
Joint Quartercraft, that was not a military order, that was
a comment that it was, well, that's coming from the
President of the United States to your commit to your generals.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Don't you think that's a request.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
That I'm asking specifically right now to what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Number two, he's also threatened to send the military into
Chicago and other cities to quote go to war with
those cities, right.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That is a very very disturbing thing.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Number Three, he's also alluded to sending troops to polling stations,
which is actually a violation of US law. US criminal
law prohibits troops from going to polling stations, and he's
alluded to that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
So those are just one of many examples.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
You're talking about Trump illusions. You're not talking about actual policy.
You're not talking about things that are members of our
service members who we revere and respect, are actually being
asked to do so when you see this video on
all over the place, when you see this video.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm all right, I'm out of time here. I got
a pause. We'll pick this up and get into this
in the next segment. But she's saying, look, you're talking
about illusions. You're talking about comments, statements, questions that what's
the order that he's given that has been illegal. He's
got nothing, by the way. He's got nothing, by the way.
But yet they're out there making this video, making political
hay out of this to further the narrative of the
(22:55):
extreme radical left. Timeouts in order, here though, my friends,
quick time out back in just a minute. Welcome back,
my friends. Here we are on this Friday, the Friday
before Thanksgiving. Next week, by the way, is going to
(23:17):
be an abbreviated and short week. It is my favorite
holiday of the year. It'll be a little bit of
a special week. We'll be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we
will not be here. Thursday. We will not be here. Friday,
we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving again, my favorite holiday, and there's
a lot of reasons for that. I love Thanksgiving. But
(23:42):
on Wednesday, we do what's probably my favorite program of
the year. It's the True Story of Thanksgiving. We do
this every year for two reasons. This is something that
Rush Limbaugh used to do on his program every Wednesday
before Thanksgiving, and I heard him do this, and it's
(24:03):
it was my favorite episode, which is saying a lot.
It was my favorite episode of his every year, so
I wanted to continue that as a not not to
steal from him, that's not the point. The point is
to take the story that he was telling and to
share it and to continue his legacy because he was
(24:23):
so instrumental in helping to guide this country through some
very very precarious times. I don't know where we would
be today without the late Great Rush Limbaugh as a nation.
And then, of course, just just for the educational component
of this, it the real story, the true story of Thanksgiving.
What we could really learn if we dig down, is
(24:46):
so so critically important to our understanding of the blessings
we have here, the advantages of free market capitalism over
government managed socialism, and all the things that came from
the prosperity of free market capitalism. So I'm looking forward
to that. That will be on Wednesday, But next week
(25:08):
is a shortened week. So before the break I played
this clip, or at least part of this. I'm going
to play this again, go back to the beginning here.
I want you to listen to the entire thing. I
might pause it, I'm not entirely sure, but again, Martha
McCallum is talking with Representative Jason Crowe. Jason Crowe is
he's a member of Congress Democrat. He is again trying
(25:34):
to not answer her direct question. He doesn't give an
example of it. He gives examples of things that could
have been a in illegal order, but they but none
of these were, None of these were. In fact, he
goes all the way back. You think about this, Why
are you just now making this video, mister Crow, Representative Crow?
If the example you cite at the beginning goes back
(25:56):
to Trump's first term, why didn't you make this video? Then?
I mean, none of this make sense. But what's underlying
this entire thing is the left once a narrative that
says Trump is a dictator, Trump is Nazi, Trump is
bad Maga is the modern day Nazi movement. That's what
they want you to believe. That's the narrative that they
(26:16):
are searching for, that they're trying to use to get
traction moving into the midterms. Now, I would tell you,
if they were so confident about winning the midterm elections
and so forth, would this be their messaging? Would this
be their messaging? See? See this is this reeks of desperation.
To me. This shows that the only chance they really
(26:39):
think that they have at winning is trying to convince
the American people that their government is basically Hitler's Nazi
regime two point zero. That's what they want you to believe.
And when you come to grips with that, and then
you think, my goodness, We've had people shot or shot at, murdered.
We've had all sorts of political violence. We've had the
(27:00):
justification of riots in our city streets by these radical
leftists from Antifa to Black Lives Matter. You've had all
these things, and the we're gonna they're going to try
to ramp this up further. They're going to turn up
the heat. Remember I said last week or maybe earlier
this week about Hunter Biden. I did a Todd talk
(27:22):
on that where Hunter Biden said he thought the temperature
needed to be turned up politically, rhetorically today apparently, and
I asked the question, where does one turn the heat
up to? He was specifically talking about the assassination in
the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, How do
you turn the heat up and why would you want to?
From political assassination, where does one go from there? Genocide
(27:45):
of your political enemies. I mean, I don't know where
you even go to turn the heat up from political assassinations.
But that's where we are, that's where we find ourselves today,
and this is this is prepare yourself. This is where
we're going. This is the only chance they think they
have to win, and so they make this stupid video
making it sound like they're pleading with our service members
(28:06):
to stop being used like Nazi war criminals. Because Trump
is Hitler and you got to listen and defy his
orders if you want to be a real American. And
that's what this is about. This is about political posturing.
This has no basis at all in reality, and you
can find that out simply by listening to his response,
his representative Crow's responses here and I'm going to play
(28:27):
this again. I'm going to get through this and we'll
talk about this. But here he is talking with Marciacudi,
Martha McCallum, who, again I would say answering her questions,
but he doesn't answer her questions. And you'll hear that
as I play this here. It is talking about that's
being broken.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
And then you said that he's implying that he might
do something that they wouldn't want to uphold or follow
through with in the future. What are you talking about specifically.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate you asking him well. Number one,
the protest with Lafayette Square in the first Trump administration,
where he said, can't you just shoot them? Can't you
just shoot them in the legs or something, that's a
direct quote, and of course other than terman.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Of the doing that was not a military order.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That was a comment when it wasn't an order. It
wasn't if that even happened, it was. It's a question
and if again, if Trump is trying to give order,
asking a question as to whether something can be done
is asking what the rules are. I mean, even whatever
reality is regarding a situation, or whether that was ever
(29:28):
uttered or whatever, asking what can be done is in
fact showing that one cares about the about the way
the law concerning the orders that one can give. He
wouldn't have asked a question. If he was, he would
have said, hey, go out and slaughter them, and then
(29:50):
the military would have done it. If that would have happened.
That I understand why your video, mister Crow, would be
in existence. But it's not what happened at all. You're
telling us what you think might happen, what you think
Trump was trying to cause to happen. But yet you
still have no evidence for any of this. But he
continues here.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Well, that's coming from the President of the United States
to your commit to your generals.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Don't you think that's a request now?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Think it wouldn't be a question?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
One? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Number two, he's also threatened to send the military into
Chicago and other cities to go to war with those cities.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Right, that is a very very disturbing thing.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Number three, Well, pause, I meant to pause that there. So, yeah,
he's there are examples, according to US law, where the
National Guard can be deployed. Again, what part of this
is illegal. You can question whether or not whether or
not the conditions are such that this can be done.
(30:50):
You can question the political calculations here, the consequences of
this or whatever. You can have problems with it. But
to act like there's no example where the National Guard
can be sent in that's that's not the case. It's
not the case either. Give us an example here, representative growth. Please.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
It's also alluded to sending troops to polling stations, which
is actually the violation of US law. US criminal law
prohibits troops from going to polling states and he's alluded
to that.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So those are just one of many example.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
You're talking about Trump illusions. You're not talking about actual policy.
You're not talking about things that are members of our
service members who we revere and respect, are actually being asked.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
To do so.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
When you see this video on exactly all over the place,
When you see this video social media, I think a
lot of people scratch their heads and they say, what,
what exactly are they talking about? Are they talking about
not allowing gunboats to make it to the United States
carrying drugs? Is I mean that what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Martha, here's a novel idea.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
How about we actually prevent things from happening before they
become a problem.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
I think that's what they're trying to do.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
That you're what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
What you're saying is we have to wait until there's
ab to respond to that problem.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
No, I'm not right.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
As a military officer, what I think is important is
we train people, We give them information, We prepare people
for challenges.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Coming down there stupidity.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
That is what I did as a commander in the military.
That's what I'm doing now as we are standing by
our troops, we are reminding them from.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
The commanderield that you are a military to carry out
Are you objecting to this is very, very vague, and
it was so vague in this video nobody only people could.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Sorry, but that's the end of the clip. So he
doesn't give an answer. What are you talking about? Specifically?
What are you talking about? Give me a specific answer
explanation here? He can't do it because there isn't one.
He wants to do this proactively, you know, he wants
to get in front of this. Well, why don't you
make a video about every potential thing that could happen
(32:51):
in the United States government, Like I don't know, the
Democrat Party abusing its power when they're in control of
the House of Representatives to impeach the president. Let's get
out there and do a d about that as well.
I've got to take a break here, my friends. You're

(33:55):
True tradition, transparency. Time out here for me, my friends,
Quick time out back in just a minute. Welcome back,
my friends. Trump of course does not sit back quietly here.
He responds to the video and what's being requested of
(34:15):
these members of Congress as it pertains to the military,
active military following the orders of the commander in chief today.
Trump of course is not going to sit back and
take this quietly. He calls this seditious behavior at the
highest levels. Stephen Miller also is out there. I don't
(34:36):
have time to get to his clip today, but I
do have it in the stack of stuff he did.
Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller said that this video, the
original video which I played in the first segment, not
that interview with Martha McCallum, but the interview about that,
(34:56):
or mean, the original video about which that interview focused
was a call for rebellion. That's what Stephen Miller said,
and he called it an insurrection, plainly and directly. So
Trump responded, says, this is seditious behavior at the highest level.
He re truth. I think that's the way you say it.
(35:17):
For the Truth social media platform. Somebody posted on truth
social to one of Trump's comments about this being seditious
at the highest behavior, someone said hang them George Washington would,
and Trump reposted that. Trump also pointed out the seditious
(35:38):
behavior can be punishable by death, and so you've got
I mean, it's it's really obviously ratcheted up here by
the way. Sedition seditious conspiracy eighteen US Code two three
eight four conspiring by force to hinder or oppose the
US government. Now, there's of course interpretations on everything. Some
(36:04):
say that this sort of thing requires force. Others say,
if you're calling for something that basically undermines the way
that the government is supposed to operate, that that can
fall under that particular category treason, by the way, that's
when you levy war against the United States or give
(36:27):
aid and comfort to our enemies, punishable of course by
death or prison. That's not This isn't really treason us
in the legal sense that you can say it's treason
us in the general sense of the word, where you're
undermining your country. But this isn't legally treason in that sense.
But it's definitely undermining our democracy. You know, it's remarkable
(36:51):
to me. You've got these these people who have gotten
these platforms, who have cried and wailed about these things
for years now, things like Trump stole the election, or
Trump is caused an insurrection on January sixth of twenty
twenty one. Trump is a Nazi. Trump is this? Trump
(37:15):
is that? Trump is a danger. Trump wants to make
himself king. We just had a no King's, no King's Day,
no King's protests here a couple of couple of weeks
ago this stuff, or maybe a month or so ago. Whatever.
But the point is this what they're accusing Trump of.
They're actively trying to prevent him from having certain constitutional authorities.
(37:40):
They're encouraging the military to not follow his orders. When
he is by well, according to the constitution, the commander
in chief. That means he's in control of the military forces.
What his orders are the troops are supposed to follow. Now,
certainly they don't don't have to follow illegal orders, but
(38:02):
you have to articulate why they are illegal. Saying that
Trump alluded to something in a question or comment that
is probably a questionable comment or question to begin with,
meaning I don't even know if it's a legitimate quote
of his. If you say he alluded to that, therefore
that becomes an order, that's absurd. Asking a question is
(38:24):
not giving an order. In fact, those are those are different.
Do you think for those of you who served in
the military, did your commanding officers, those who had authority
over you, did they ever ask you to do stuff?
Hey guys, let's do you guys care if we go
out and go on a little run here? Do you care?
Is it okay with everybody? If we go out and
(38:45):
do a certain field exercise? Is that okay? Is that
how that worked? I mean, it's just it's so stupid
to me. Anyone who has the slightest bit of sensibility
and reason can say questions, even listen I'm not even
granting that the question was legitimately asked by Trump. But
a question isn't an order. An illusion isn't an order.
(39:08):
He can't give examples, but yet he's making a video
telling troops to disobey the commander in chief potentially, and
he can't articulate which order they should not be obeying.
What is really going on here, my friends, I've told
you off the top this is about politics as as always,
(39:28):
my friends, I'm getting to the end of the program here.
Let me remind you, friends, have you ever noticed how
some families seem to have a plan that lasts for
generations that is not by accident. Full Sweet Wealth works

you build your legacy, secure your future, and friends. With
that being said, I gotta start wrapping up here today.
But we are listen, this is only going to intensify.
As I said in the Todd Talk today, as I've
said on this program for a while, the one way
through this, the one way we fix this problem, the
one way we stop the shenanigans here, is that we
(40:33):
win politically. We defeat these lunatics, and we have to
win on multiple fronts, but we definitely have to win
at the ballot box here, my friends. So I gotta
wrap up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. We'll
see you Monday. SDG
