Day 29 of the government shutdown and Todd makes the case that Senate Democrats—and Chuck Schumer—own it. We break down the cloture math, why the filibuster fight matters, and the 13 votes that kept the lights off. You’ll also hear a striking C-SPAN call from a lifelong Democrat who says her party is holding Americans hostage, plus Todd’s take on SNAP talking points and Jake Tapper’s testy exchange with Rep. Melanie Stansbury. In segments two and three, Todd pivots to election integrity—from Harmit Dhillon’s pressure on states over messy voter rolls to why list maintenance is basic common sense. We close with listener-focused updates and sponsors that support the show and our values. Conservative, not bitter—always.

what they've subjected the American people too, So we'll talk

in the second and third segments talking about some legal
(01:01):
things that are happening in this country that pertain to
election integrity. You might have seen that Harmeet Dylan has well,
she's kind of turned up the heat on states that
are not giving the federal government access to their voter
roles to ensure that we have voter roles that are

Build your legacy, secure your future, my friends. Let's start
here today by talking about day number twenty nine of
the Schumer shutdown.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Folks, make no mistake about it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
We are looking at a Democrat shutdown specifically so that
you know that I'm fair. Of course, if you listen
for any length of time, you know that I'm fair.
I mean, it's it's my opinion. A lot of times.
But I'm consistent here. I'm not blaming House Democrats. Of course,
they tried to stop it too, They tried to stop
the continuing Resolution, but they can't. They don't have the
(03:03):
same the same tools in the House of Representatives in
the minority that the Senate does.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
The issue, as.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I've laid out repeatedly clearly, is the issue of the
filibuster and how it is being weaponized by Chuck Schumer
and the radical left in the Senate.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I don't want to go through that.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
We've gone through that in previous episodes, which you can
check out on the website or wherever you listen to
podcasts or whatever. But this is a Democrat led shutdown,
specifically Democrats in the Senate. And this was the thirteenth time,
the thirteenth vote that the thirteenth time Democrats have voted
(03:48):
to shut the government down. In fact, I'm looking right
now at an article with from The Blaze, the Blaze
dot com Rebecca Zelko, and she has the what is
it every time? She's got it listed here headline here
every time or here's every time Senate Democrats voted to
(04:08):
keep the government shut down.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
This was written yesterday. I don't know if she has
yesterday's vote in here.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah she does, so there should be thirteen. Friday September nineteenth,
they voted against against it forty four, forty eight. Tuesday
September thirtieth, fifty five, forty five, Wednesday October first, fifty five,
forty five. That's the vote numbers. Friday, October third, fifty four,
forty four, Monday October sixth fifty two, forty two, Wednesday
(04:39):
October eighth, fifty four to forty five. They got to
get to sixty vote. So look, there's a majority. So
when these knuckleheads and professional deceivers tell you that Republicans
are in control of the Senate and they can't get
something passed, just look at this.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Rand Paul has been voting against the government against this
continue resolution, so he's in. He's not one of the
folks that are voting for this. I believe every other
Republican has typically voted for this. I would have to
double check specifically, but Rand Paul's position is he's not
(05:15):
voting for any legislation that doesn't actually fix our fiscal problems,
and this is a continuation of what we were spending
in fiscal year twenty twenty five. And so Rand Paul's
a no on this. I understand that. I do.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I think he's wrong on.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
This, but I understand it he's ultimately right on this.
The Democrats are opposing this because they want the American
people to suffer though, and this is listen, inexcusable. They
want political victories. They want to be able to blame
Trump and the Republicans. They want to make these claims
that they can't keep a government open, they don't know
(05:52):
how to run a country. Therefore, moving into the midterms,
you have to vote for us because otherwise who knows
what's next for the American people. Now, I will tell
you there have been plenty of good things for the
American people in this administration. In fact, I'm reminded of
what I did today's Todd talk on which is there
(06:13):
will be very close to there's a goal now of
six hundred thousand physical deportations in fiscal well and calendar
year twenty twenty five by the end of the year
December thirty first. Right now, there's five hundred and twenty
seven thousand reported physical deportations. That does not include the
number of people who self deported, which they estimate to
(06:35):
be one point six million. So when the dust settles here,
somewhere between two point two and maybe getting close to
two point five million people who were here illegally at
the beginning of Trump's second term are no longer going
to be in this country at the end of Trump's
first year in his second term. This is remarkable progress.
This is what the American people voted for. This issue
(06:58):
is about legal excuse me, illegal immigration, not about legal immigration.
And we are cleaning up this country where working to
be a law assume me, a nation of law and
order again, despite what the Left is doing. We're wanting
to be a law a nation of law and order again.
As it pertains to voter roles as well, which we'll
(07:20):
get to in the next segment. But I can go
through this, and there are thirteen votes, thirteen separate votes
where Democrats in the Senate have voted against opening the
government at funding levels that were exactly the same to
what was happening on September thirtieth.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
They're trying to make.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
This about anything other than the facts. Those are the facts.
Democrats own this in the Senate. And what's sick about
this is that they are. I'm telling you, I know
that there are people out there that don't want to
accept this.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I remember I remember as a young man in my twenties.
I remember I was on the horse farm. I remember this.
I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh, who is instrumental in
my life, instrumental in helping me do what I do today.
He was the best to ever do this by far.
(08:18):
It's not even close. Everyone else is playing for second place,
and it's a very very very distant second place. But
Rush was absolutely incredible at this. And I remember as
a young twenty something year old kid finding my way
figuring out what it was that I should be doing
here on this planet. And I was getting introduced to
(08:40):
talk radio, and I thought, that's what I want to do.
And that's what I was doing in a way in college,
specifically at American University, when I had to argue in
favor of truth and reason and common sense in the
face of a lot of liberals and leftists who were
in that classroom with me at American University in Washington, DC.
(09:00):
I loved every minute of it. I didn't know you
could make a career out of it. Back in those days,
and so the dream was was formed back in the
late nineties, and I was learning I was learning in
the early two thousands. It was me and a bunch
of horses and a bunch of property. A bunch of property.
(09:21):
I had to maintain, paint fence, I had to take
care to mow the property. This was back before you know,
zero turn radius tractors, at least, we didn't have those,
you know. I had to trim, I had to weed,
eat the fence line, and there was miles of fence anyway.
(09:42):
So that's what I was doing. It was me and
often sometimes I had help. Sometimes it was just me.
And so I started listening to talk radio, and I remember,
I remember when Rush was talking about how there were
people in Congress, specifically people on the left who did
not of America's interest at heart. And I'm going to
(10:02):
tell you right now, as sincerely as I know how
to tell you, I did not want to believe that
I didn't. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I
couldn't understand that I loved my country. I loved this
country for as far back as I can go. I
don't know what my parents did specifically to make to
make us be patriotic, but we love this country. We
(10:24):
were grateful for this country. I remember learning about America
and the teachers didn't apologize. They didn't talk about how
terrible people. Obviously none of the founders were perfect and
all that sort of stuff. And maybe at times they,
you know, people glorified them or made them out to
be bigger than they were. But they what they did
(10:47):
is nothing short of amazing what they found that here
in this nation we should all be just incredibly grateful
for It's a wonderful, wonderful nation that was formed at
the hand of the founding fathers and of course ultimately
by the hand and grace of God Almighty. But I
(11:09):
appreciated that from the beginning, and it was hard for
me to understand that there are people out there that
don't like this country has founded. I couldn't relate to that.
I didn't understand what it was that they didn't like
about this country. But there's people out there that do
not like liberty. There are people out there that do
not like you having the opportunity to live your life.
(11:30):
They think that they're better equipped to tell you what
to do than to let you.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Live your life.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
As a free person, created in the image of Almighty God,
with certain unalienable rights, and it was hard for me
to come to grips with that. Now, I'm not saying
everybody who disagrees with me hates America as founded, but
I am telling you there are people, absolutely some of
them holding seats in the US Congress, in the US Senate,
(11:59):
who are are America bashers, America haters. They do not
like this country, They do not believe in the principles
set forth in this country.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
One of them is running for mayor in New York City.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
And it is incredible to witness this with that, you know,
from that viewpoint, with that in mind, because to think
that there are people who hate some of the founding
core principles of this country, it's really mind boggling to me.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So it's hard.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I know, it's hard. I know that there is a
personal desire to say, surely not. And sometimes sometimes people ascribe,
you know, some certain decisions or votes that people make
on the left as hating America. And that's not always
the case, but my omi is certainly the case is
(12:51):
a case in some instances. And I'm telling you, these
folks in the US Senate they have it within their
power one hundred percent to stop the pain of average Americans,
to stop it, and they won't do it. They won't
do it. They won't accept responsibility. They want Americans to hurt.
They want Americans to hurt because they will never, as
(13:12):
Ram Emmanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste.
They see it as a political opportunity and they are prepared.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
They have no heart. I'm you know, these people talk.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
About having these tremendously large hearts, and they want you
to know how much they care. Hogwash, absolute, just ridiculous
thing for them to say. That is not at all
what it is. They want power. They are prepared to
use your suffering. If you're out there facing the potential
of suffering from this shut down, which most people don't,
(13:45):
but some people will face a loss of income, a
loss of other benefits. We see snap benefits rolling out.
Notice that the congressional members of well, the members of
Congress are getting checks. And Bernie even defended that. Bernie Sanders,
the nutty professor himself, is apparently okay with keeping the
government shut down and preventing people from getting some of
(14:08):
these other benefits. While he and his colleagues need the checks,
he said, you know, some of them can't do without
the checks.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He's got a couple of houses.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
This is a socialist that lives like a capitalist and
loves every minute of it, just doesn't want the average
person to, I guess, benefit from the blessings of free
market capitalism and the opportunities that come from that. But
this is a self created problem by a left. Now
I want to play here. This is good stuff. C
(14:40):
Span has a caller who called in. What was her name?
See if I have her name here in the notes,
I don't see it here, but she was She's from Philadelphia,
according to what she says in this call I'm about
to play for you, she was a member of a
(15:00):
union I maybe even a leader within a union in
I guess Philadelphia. And she gets on here on she
calls in the Sea Span, which I know you're sitting
there breathlessly watching every day of your life. But she
calls in the Sea Span and she blames the government.
She says, Listen, I'm a Democrat, she says, but this
is the Democrats shutdown. They're the ones who voted against
(15:21):
this now thirteen times. They're the ones who have created this.
They don't need to do this. They need to vote
to end this shutdown because it's about to cause real
havoc on a lot more people. And I want to
play this. It's a minute and a half minute, forty
five seconds or so. But I'm just gonna let her
talk here in a moment, my friends, because I think
(15:44):
it's important to let them well. For the people again
who are insisting this as a republic, this is not
even this is not even perspective. This is just, as
a matter of fact, this is a Democrat shutdown. Democrats
shut down, and they've shut it down because they don't
care about people. They shut it down because they think
(16:04):
they've got a political winner. They don't care the consequences.
They are this politically desperate when Trump deports their future voters.
They are this politically desperate when Trump is trying to
clean up their voter rules in the state. They are
this politically desperate when Trump is trying to read district
in states like Indiana like they've done in Texas like
they're trying to do, and what North Carolina done in
(16:27):
Missouri and all that sort of stuff. They are desperate.
They have no leader of the Democrats. They have no ideas.
All they can bank on is to try to cause
the base to be an absolute just a chaotic state
of mind where they're afraid of their own shadows, going
out and joining these no Kings protests. That's all they've got. Fear, anxiety, depression, rage,
(16:56):
stir up the folks in Antifa.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
This is all they've got.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
My friends, they have nothing, and they're terrified. I'm they're
absolutely terrified. So I'll play this here in just a moment.
Before my friends I do that, let me remind you
that we have launched here at the Todd Host Show,
we have launched a division relaunched, I guess you could say, where.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
We help folks put their logo on almost anything.

you ten percent off your first purchase, check it out
red whiteandbrand dot com your logo on almost anything. All right,
that being set, c span here opens up their lines.
(18:05):
They take calls from people across the country talking here
about the government shut down. This was a couple of
days ago. This was day twenty This was on day
twenty seven, which would have been Monday. They have a
countdown twenty seven or twenty six days, seven hours, eighteen minutes.
That's how long the government had been shut down. And
(18:26):
so what do they do. They take callers, and there's
this Democrat caller who sets it straight and she explains
that this is a Democrat shut down. I'm just gonna
let this go because she explains this very well. She's
quite articulate, very clear headed in the way she presents this,
and she's spot on correct. Here she is explaining why
(18:48):
this is a Schumer shutdown in fact, and not a
Republican shutting.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Down to a worker.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
And I hear people talking about, you know, the president
needs to get involved, and the Democrats are saying, as
the Republicans are saying this, this is the truth. The Democrats,
and I'm a Democrat are the ones that actually in
the Senate side shut down the government.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
And they did not vote for continued resolution except for
three of them. One is the Senator of Pennsylvania, fetterment
and all. So they have to get together and stop
holding an American hostage. We're about to have people without
food become what November one, which is the end of
(19:32):
this week, and that's ridiculous. It is not worth it. Plus,
the healthcare companies have already said your way past the
deadline for them to change their costs that they're going
to give out to the public for the healthcare. So
because November one is open season, so.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Let me pause that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
So the Democrats and narrative here is that the Republicans
are not going to the continuing resolution doesn't address the
subsidies for Obamacare, and so that's what they're fighting for,
is for the healthcare of people. And she says, look,
this is just a bunch of bunk. They're out here
telling us lies. I mean, she's saying this about her
(20:17):
own party, by the way. She's saying, listen, they're lying
to us. The healthcare companies have already said, look, November
first is the open enrollment date.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
They've already got this stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
The plans set, that the prices are set, and all
of that.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
There's nothing that can be.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Done about this. She says, I don't know that's one
hundred percent true or not. All I do know that
what the Democrats are saying about the whole Affordable Care
Act or Obamacare subsidies are not rooted in reality.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That's not even the issue here.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
The issue is keeping funding at current levels as it
was on September thirtieth. All these other things could have
been addressed in the past nearly third days now twenty
nine days, we could have been engaging in negotiations about
these other things, but they refuse. They decided to shut
the government down in spite of all of that, and
now there's about to be well hurt for American people,
(21:15):
for the American people, for the folks who are on
some of these programs and so forth. And they want
to use this that they they know this, they want
this to happen, and they want to point the finger
at Donald J. Trump, at Republicans, and they want you.
They're banking on the fact that they think the American
people are fools and they don't see that they voted
against reopening the government thirteen separate times.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
But here this caller continues.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Oh, they need to get together. I know they keep
on saying the president needs to come back, but the
power of the perth is with the Congress, not the president.
You all talk about this president being the king, but
if you want him to solve this problem, you're making
him a king.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
That's a great one.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I've got to stop in America. I want the Democrats
to fight, but I want them to fight in a
negotiating way like I did when I was a Union president,
versus sitting up here constantly bickering and the Republican's bickering.
This has got to stop, and America has got to
stop accepting it. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
It's and Philly lenn and Philly.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, she's a spot. Tell me that's not right. By
the way, I love the line where she said, I
love the line where she said, Democrats are talking about
Trump being a king. If he comes in and solves
this problem, they're making him a king. This is a
congressional problem, specifically a problem within the Senate. Democrats have
been giving us the run around. This is on them
(22:44):
to fix, friends, I've got to take a time out,
Quick time out. It's good to see sanity returning to
Democrats across this country.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Quick time out, though, my friends, you're.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I'm your host,
the one, the only, the ever so well loved Tod
Huff back here in just a minute.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Welcome back, my friends.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
So the Democrats are starting to realize that they have
real problems amongst their leadership when it comes to solving
this government shut down. Democrats the rank and file anyway. Now, granted,
this is a Union Democrat. This is not a radical leftist.
This is someone who clearly sounds like she has sense.
(23:31):
I don't know why she's still in the Democrat Party
today given their leadership. But this is not some insane
She wasn't out there at the No Kings protests. I mean,
I don't know that. I don't think so. She's not
part of Antifa. Clearly not part of Antifa. She's just
an average, regular, middle of the road American slightly to
(23:55):
the left, votes for Democrats, probably because.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Of her Union affiliation.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
She believes Republicans are after their jobs and all that
sort of stuff in their wages, and so she thinks
Democrats are protecting them from the well, from the management,
from corporations and so forth. That's kind of the environment
I grew up in. So I don't think that this
(24:20):
lady's She's got sense, and she's got sense enough to
know that the Democrats are playing. The Democrats in the
Senate are playing their voters, banking on them being basically
low information voters, banking on them not knowing what's really
going on, banking on them blaming Republicans instead of blaming Democrats.
(24:42):
But many Democrats are awakening to this. This is not
a Republican shut down at all. Now, I will tell you.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
I will tell you that some of these folks are still.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Out there doubling and tripling down on the narrative that
it is a Republican shut down. In fact, Jake, and
this is to credit Jake Tapper. I am no fan
of Jake Tapper. I am on the record as saying
to you, I think Jake Tapper is basically, I think
(25:14):
he's a fraud. I think Jake Tapper's a fraud. I
try listen, I just I try to. This is never
personal for me, but I try to tell you what
I think is the truth. Jake Tapper is if he
wants to know the problem in this country when it
comes to getting the truth out and that sort of
thing I think he deserved.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
I think he should look in the mirror.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That's what I think Jake Tapper, to me, the biggest,
the biggest, the most clear example of why Jake Tapper
is a fraud is how he and my opinion, this
is my opinion. I think he knew how bad Biden
was in twenty twenty, probably long before that. I mean,
I thought, well, excuse me, in twenty twenty four, probably
(25:58):
all the way back to twenty twenty, I knew. How
did I know? I've never met Biden. I've never had
Biden on this program. I didn't run around with people
that were in Biden's inner circle. I didn't talk to
Kareeine Jean Pierre on a daily basis or a semi
regular basis anyway. And you know, if I did, I
would have asked her. I would have asked her, what's
(26:19):
going on? Your boss is clearly not Well. Did Jake
not ever do that?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Well, I don't know what he did behind the closed doors,
but I do know this, I do know this. He
didn't mention any of this until after the election. Then
he and another so called journalist make believe journalists in
my opinion, wrote a book that they tried to sell
to the American people. I told you not to buy
the stupid book. I hope you didn't. I told you
I would tell you everything I knew about the book
that they were reporting if you were interested in people
(26:46):
exposing what was really happening with Joe Biden after the fact,
after it didn't matter, after there were no political consequences.
Then Jake Tapper in this I can't ever remember the
other guy's name, But it doesn't matter. They're all the same,
Like that's the thing, all the same. They're professional deceivers
in my opinion, and these folks are leading the American
people astray. They love controlling the information. Once it's not
(27:09):
going to hurt their political cause and their political movement,
their political party, then they'll write books about it. But
where was Jake Tapper? Where was Jake Tapper? Whenever it mattered,
when it actually mattered regarding who people were going to
vote for, he didn't mention it. Then he didn't mention
it at all. You know that reminds me.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I just I don't care anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Years ago I invited there there was I think it
was when either Kavanaugh or Gorsich was being appointed to
the Supreme Court. I believe Trump had nominated this individual.
I'm pretty sure it was one of those two. I
think it was. I think it might have been Gorsich.
(27:53):
It may have been, it doesn't matter. I believe it
was a Supreme Court fight. I invited Senator Todd Young,
who's on this in this state, in the state of Indiana.
I wanted him to come on here and talk about
his position on whether you know he was going to
support the nominee or whatever. His people now it was
his team, not him. His people said, you know what,
Todd would love to come on the program if but
(28:17):
he doesn't want to come on now.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
He wants to come on later. And I said, I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
About well, with all due respect, I don't care about later.
I don't care about what he thinks when the stakes
aren't high. This is not, by the way, in a
campaign here in Indiana, Todd Young a Republican. We're going
to hear about his being a marine, and I appreciate
his service, but that's not how marines lead.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
My friend that's that's not how leaders lead. You don't
hide from the conflict whenever it matters and.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Then come out after the fact once you see where
all the chips fell and say, well, this is what
I think should have happened.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
That's just look, I'm done with that.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
We need we need real leadership in the US Senate
and that's just one example. We need we need real
people who are prepared to fight for the things when
they actually matter. And it just it's it's it's sickening
to me candidly, if I'm being honest with you, it's
not real leadership. It's one of the reasons I stopped
(29:14):
doing a whole lot. We're doing more interviews. I think
a part of this is I have to hold my
nose and deal with this sort of stuff from time
to time, not always. I've had great guests on This
is not meant to pull everybody into that, but there
are certainly people who behave like that. They want to
figure out where the right side of the issue is
(29:34):
after the fact and then just kind of blend in
and not make a difference. That we are so far
past that we are in a survival for this country.
Democrats are holding hostage this great nation. By the way,
where are those senators? I don't hear them out there
railing about what's happening in the Senate. Maybe they are,
and I'm just not seeing it. Sometimes I don't follow
(29:57):
it like that, but I certainly haven't seen them out
out there. Here's Jake Tapper on with Representative Melanie Stansbury.
She's a Democrat representative from the state of New Mexico.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Now credit Tapper.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Here for pushing back a little bit on her and
asking her, well, why the Democrats are allowing the shutdown
to happen. I just want you to listen to the side. Sorry,
I muted myself. The pure sophistry and nonsense that exists
in this conversation. It's like she lives on another planet
(30:31):
where logic and reason do not reside. Let's listen to
this conversation between Jake Tapper and Democrat Representative Melanie Stansbury
regarding the Schumer shutdown in Washington, DC.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Should the Democratic senators from New Mexico, your home state,
vote to open the government so that these snap funds
are not at risk?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Let me be clear, Oh boy, the administration is choosing
to starve American children with money that they already have
appropriate the White House. This is a choice.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
This is also this is also a choice by Senate
Democrats to not have government.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yes, it is. I understand why they're doing it.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
They're doing it because they want Medicaid funds restored. They're
doing it because they want Obamacare premiums to be extended
past the end of the year.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I understand the reason.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I let me just be clear. The money for contingency
plans is sitting there. That is why the states are
suing the White Houses withholding funds.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
From two to three weeks worth of SNAFF funds.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah, well you may not be a big deal to you,
but it is a big deal to me. The grandparents
for it is a big deal. They literally are feeding
their children. That it's a short accounts.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
It's a short term.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
At the end of the day, you need to be
able to feed their families.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Government feel so strong, congress Woman, why not asking the
Senate Democrats from New Mexico that I.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Am here in the House of Representatives. It is shut down.
I am fighting to get the government rep I am
fighting to get funding put back into SNAP that is
already existent, and I am fighting for the American people.
I here to show me a single Republican that is here.
Not a single one is here as are fed on Saturday.
That is why I am here.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
So disingenuous. You know what, I don't want to say it.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I kind of do, but I won't disingenuous. It's shut
down because the Democrats shut it down, pure and simple.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
We don't need contingency funds.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
All you have to do is open up the government
exactly exactly as it was the second is shut down.
But they don't want to do that. They want the
talking point.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
They want the pain.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I'm telling you they want the pain because pain causes
people to make changes, and they are happy to cause
pain for the American people. It's sick and sad, my friends.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Third and final segment of today's program. Let's face it,

share your Christian values. You know the good news you

whatever that might look like, go to four eight financial
dot com slash todd that's for eight financial dot com
slash todd Financial. Because our values matter and so does
our money. I told you off the top, I want
to stop talking about the shutdown here for a moment.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
I told you off the top.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
In addition to the shutdown, I was going to spend
a little bit of time talking about voter rolls, federal
the federal government's attempt to clean or make states clean
their voter roles, and all of that as they fight
to secure election integrity.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
What's interesting his here, What's I guess you would say, what's.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Unfortunate is that we have people who are fighting for
election integrity. This is something all of us should agree with.
All of us should be in agreement that we want
fair and accurate election results. Now we want the process
of voting to be as easy as possible while maintaining
(36:03):
its security. This seems very very common sensical to me,
and we've learned a lot.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Of things that.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Well, just just from following elections looking at how other
countries do their elections. There have been cases laws that
were people people that have been have gone to jail
for breaking the law. As it pertains to elections, there's
a lot of things that could happen, and the simpler
(36:35):
the better, and having the you know, every time you
have the polls open, there is a possibility for fraud.
That doesn't mean that it's rampant. It just means that
there's a possibility. Just like if you're a store owner,
every time you have you know, if you every time
you open the.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Doors, someone can shoplift.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
People can shoplift and break in and enter when you're
not open, but you can and secure it differently obviously,
when you're closed than when you're open. You can pull
the little bars over the front windows, you can turn
off the lights, you can you know, turn on motion detector,
whatever whatever you do. But every time that you're open
(37:17):
to take votes, you're also open to the possibility of fraud.
And the reasonable reasonable people say, let's just make that
we understand that the risk can never be zero, but
we don't want it to be widespread and we want
to take safe, precautionary steps to prevent it from happening.
And listen, I've shared on this program how I helped.
(37:39):
I think I should have known, maybe I was writing something,
but I had a person on my team.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
She voted for the first time.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
She voted for Joseph Biden back in twenty twenty, and
she had requested an absentee ballot here in Indiana, and
she said, I just have questions.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
I've never done this before.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
So I sat down and I answered her questions as
objectively as I could.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
She voted. I didn't. She didn't tell me.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
She ended up telling me later. I never asked, but
I made sure she could cast her ballot no matter
who she was going to vote for. And that's the
way that it should be. I wanted her vote to count.
I would hope that she wanted my vote to count,
even though she disagreed with it. And that's what we
have to have in this country. Whatever the vote is,
(38:28):
that needs to be accurate and correct. And part of
the problem here. Part of the problem is that some
of these states have voter roles that are absolutely a mess,
absolutely a mess. The DOJ's Department of Justice's Civil Rights
Division has told states that they need to submit clean
(38:49):
excuse me to submit and clean voter registration lists or
face lawsuits. Six states have already been I believe, sued California, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania. The Department of Justice has
cited several laws, including the Voting Rights Act and the
(39:11):
Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty and they requested information.
What they're trying to do is say, do you have
reasonable measures?
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Here?
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Are these lists clean? Are people registered in multiple places
within your state? Are they listed multiple times here in
your state?
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Period?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
And that can they vote multiple times? Are these people
living those sorts of things? Now, the states are saying
that the federal government is, you know, that they can't
be trusted with this data, which is crazy to me,
because then why are you collecting it?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
States?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Why are states collecting the data if the federal government
can't have it. Listen, I'm all for states rights, but
there are times when the federal government has a prerogative
to know these things and these this information, these lists
of names are are basically the pathway, the legal pathway
into casting a ballot in an election, and the federal
(40:07):
government has a prerogative to make sure that these federal
elections are cleaned up to the best of their ability.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
This is just.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Common sense, and the more inappropriate that the more poorly
kept I should say these voter rules are, the more
it presents opportunities for fraud. If people's names I've shared
with you before. I had a gentleman who's in California.
He said he went to vote. He didn't have to
show an ID, he just had to say his name.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Said.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
He glanced down at the paper and his name was
on there four times in some variation. Can you not
see how that's a problem. He could have gone back
theoretically four times. Folks, I gotta go, gotta wrap it up.
Speaker 5 (40:46):
SDG
Attention. You're listening to the Todd huff Show, America's Home, Poor, Conservative,
not Bitter Talk and education. Be advised. The content of
this program has been talking about it. Two prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean.
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 (00:35):
Ay.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yes, my friends, welcome today's program. We're gonna talk about
this government shutdown, which is now in what day number
twenty nine, twenty nine of the Schumer shutdown. Incredible, really
what they've subjected the American people too, So we'll talk
about that. We'll also spend a little bit of time
in the second and third segments talking about some legal
(01:01):
things that are happening in this country that pertain to
election integrity. You might have seen that Harmeet Dylan has well,
she's kind of turned up the heat on states that
are not giving the federal government access to their voter
roles to ensure that we have voter roles that are
as clean as possible heading in to the midterm elections,
(01:27):
my friends, So we'll talk about that all of that,
of course, right here from the Full Sweet Wealth Studios
and it's my pleasure to be here with you today.
Speaker 5 (01:37):

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Visit fullsweetwealth dot com. Jason and the team over there.
We'll take great care of you again, Full sweetwealth dot com.
Build your legacy, secure your future, my friends. Let's start
here today by talking about day number twenty nine of
the Schumer shutdown.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Folks, make no mistake about it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
We are looking at a Democrat shutdown specifically so that
you know that I'm fair. Of course, if you listen
for any length of time, you know that I'm fair.
I mean, it's it's my opinion. A lot of times.
But I'm consistent here. I'm not blaming House Democrats. Of course,
they tried to stop it too, They tried to stop
the continuing Resolution, but they can't. They don't have the
(03:03):
same the same tools in the House of Representatives in
the minority that the Senate does.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
The issue, as.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I've laid out repeatedly clearly, is the issue of the
filibuster and how it is being weaponized by Chuck Schumer
and the radical left in the Senate.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I don't want to go through that.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
We've gone through that in previous episodes, which you can
check out on the website or wherever you listen to
podcasts or whatever. But this is a Democrat led shutdown,
specifically Democrats in the Senate. And this was the thirteenth time,
the thirteenth vote that the thirteenth time Democrats have voted
(03:48):
to shut the government down. In fact, I'm looking right
now at an article with from The Blaze, the Blaze
dot com Rebecca Zelko, and she has the what is
it every time? She's got it listed here headline here
every time or here's every time Senate Democrats voted to
(04:08):
keep the government shut down.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
This was written yesterday. I don't know if she has
yesterday's vote in here.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah she does, so there should be thirteen. Friday September nineteenth,
they voted against against it forty four, forty eight. Tuesday
September thirtieth, fifty five, forty five, Wednesday October first, fifty five,
forty five. That's the vote numbers. Friday, October third, fifty four,
forty four, Monday October sixth fifty two, forty two, Wednesday
(04:39):
October eighth, fifty four to forty five. They got to
get to sixty vote. So look, there's a majority. So
when these knuckleheads and professional deceivers tell you that Republicans
are in control of the Senate and they can't get
something passed, just look at this.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Rand Paul has been voting against the government against this
continue resolution, so he's in. He's not one of the
folks that are voting for this. I believe every other
Republican has typically voted for this. I would have to
double check specifically, but Rand Paul's position is he's not
(05:15):
voting for any legislation that doesn't actually fix our fiscal problems,
and this is a continuation of what we were spending
in fiscal year twenty twenty five. And so Rand Paul's
a no on this. I understand that. I do.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I think he's wrong on.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
This, but I understand it he's ultimately right on this.
The Democrats are opposing this because they want the American
people to suffer though, and this is listen, inexcusable. They
want political victories. They want to be able to blame
Trump and the Republicans. They want to make these claims
that they can't keep a government open, they don't know
(05:52):
how to run a country. Therefore, moving into the midterms,
you have to vote for us because otherwise who knows
what's next for the American people. Now, I will tell
you there have been plenty of good things for the
American people in this administration. In fact, I'm reminded of
what I did today's Todd talk on which is there
(06:13):
will be very close to there's a goal now of
six hundred thousand physical deportations in fiscal well and calendar
year twenty twenty five by the end of the year
December thirty first. Right now, there's five hundred and twenty
seven thousand reported physical deportations. That does not include the
number of people who self deported, which they estimate to
(06:35):
be one point six million. So when the dust settles here,
somewhere between two point two and maybe getting close to
two point five million people who were here illegally at
the beginning of Trump's second term are no longer going
to be in this country at the end of Trump's
first year in his second term. This is remarkable progress.
This is what the American people voted for. This issue
(06:58):
is about legal excuse me, illegal immigration, not about legal immigration.
And we are cleaning up this country where working to
be a law assume me, a nation of law and
order again, despite what the Left is doing. We're wanting
to be a law a nation of law and order again.
As it pertains to voter roles as well, which we'll
(07:20):
get to in the next segment. But I can go
through this, and there are thirteen votes, thirteen separate votes
where Democrats in the Senate have voted against opening the
government at funding levels that were exactly the same to
what was happening on September thirtieth.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
They're trying to make.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
This about anything other than the facts. Those are the facts.
Democrats own this in the Senate. And what's sick about
this is that they are. I'm telling you, I know
that there are people out there that don't want to
accept this.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I remember I remember as a young man in my twenties.
I remember I was on the horse farm. I remember this.
I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh, who is instrumental in
my life, instrumental in helping me do what I do today.
He was the best to ever do this by far.
(08:18):
It's not even close. Everyone else is playing for second place,
and it's a very very very distant second place. But
Rush was absolutely incredible at this. And I remember as
a young twenty something year old kid finding my way
figuring out what it was that I should be doing
here on this planet. And I was getting introduced to
(08:40):
talk radio, and I thought, that's what I want to do.
And that's what I was doing in a way in college,
specifically at American University, when I had to argue in
favor of truth and reason and common sense in the
face of a lot of liberals and leftists who were
in that classroom with me at American University in Washington, DC.
(09:00):
I loved every minute of it. I didn't know you
could make a career out of it. Back in those days,
and so the dream was was formed back in the
late nineties, and I was learning I was learning in
the early two thousands. It was me and a bunch
of horses and a bunch of property. A bunch of property.
(09:21):
I had to maintain, paint fence, I had to take
care to mow the property. This was back before you know,
zero turn radius tractors, at least, we didn't have those,
you know. I had to trim, I had to weed,
eat the fence line, and there was miles of fence anyway.
(09:42):
So that's what I was doing. It was me and
often sometimes I had help. Sometimes it was just me.
And so I started listening to talk radio, and I remember,
I remember when Rush was talking about how there were
people in Congress, specifically people on the left who did
not of America's interest at heart. And I'm going to
(10:02):
tell you right now, as sincerely as I know how
to tell you, I did not want to believe that
I didn't. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I
couldn't understand that I loved my country. I loved this
country for as far back as I can go. I
don't know what my parents did specifically to make to
make us be patriotic, but we love this country. We
(10:24):
were grateful for this country. I remember learning about America
and the teachers didn't apologize. They didn't talk about how
terrible people. Obviously none of the founders were perfect and
all that sort of stuff. And maybe at times they,
you know, people glorified them or made them out to
be bigger than they were. But they what they did
(10:47):
is nothing short of amazing what they found that here
in this nation we should all be just incredibly grateful
for It's a wonderful, wonderful nation that was formed at
the hand of the founding fathers and of course ultimately
by the hand and grace of God Almighty. But I
(11:09):
appreciated that from the beginning, and it was hard for
me to understand that there are people out there that
don't like this country has founded. I couldn't relate to that.
I didn't understand what it was that they didn't like
about this country. But there's people out there that do
not like liberty. There are people out there that do
not like you having the opportunity to live your life.
(11:30):
They think that they're better equipped to tell you what
to do than to let you.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Live your life.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
As a free person, created in the image of Almighty God,
with certain unalienable rights, and it was hard for me
to come to grips with that. Now, I'm not saying
everybody who disagrees with me hates America as founded, but
I am telling you there are people, absolutely some of
them holding seats in the US Congress, in the US Senate,
(11:59):
who are are America bashers, America haters. They do not
like this country, They do not believe in the principles
set forth in this country.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
One of them is running for mayor in New York City.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
And it is incredible to witness this with that, you know,
from that viewpoint, with that in mind, because to think
that there are people who hate some of the founding
core principles of this country, it's really mind boggling to me.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So it's hard.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I know, it's hard. I know that there is a
personal desire to say, surely not. And sometimes sometimes people ascribe,
you know, some certain decisions or votes that people make
on the left as hating America. And that's not always
the case, but my omi is certainly the case is
(12:51):
a case in some instances. And I'm telling you, these
folks in the US Senate they have it within their
power one hundred percent to stop the pain of average Americans,
to stop it, and they won't do it. They won't
do it. They won't accept responsibility. They want Americans to hurt.
They want Americans to hurt because they will never, as
(13:12):
Ram Emmanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste.
They see it as a political opportunity and they are prepared.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
They have no heart. I'm you know, these people talk.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
About having these tremendously large hearts, and they want you
to know how much they care. Hogwash, absolute, just ridiculous
thing for them to say. That is not at all
what it is. They want power. They are prepared to
use your suffering. If you're out there facing the potential
of suffering from this shut down, which most people don't,
(13:45):
but some people will face a loss of income, a
loss of other benefits. We see snap benefits rolling out.
Notice that the congressional members of well, the members of
Congress are getting checks. And Bernie even defended that. Bernie Sanders,
the nutty professor himself, is apparently okay with keeping the
government shut down and preventing people from getting some of
(14:08):
these other benefits. While he and his colleagues need the checks,
he said, you know, some of them can't do without
the checks.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He's got a couple of houses.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
This is a socialist that lives like a capitalist and
loves every minute of it, just doesn't want the average
person to, I guess, benefit from the blessings of free
market capitalism and the opportunities that come from that. But
this is a self created problem by a left. Now
I want to play here. This is good stuff. C
(14:40):
Span has a caller who called in. What was her name?
See if I have her name here in the notes,
I don't see it here, but she was She's from Philadelphia,
according to what she says in this call I'm about
to play for you, she was a member of a
(15:00):
union I maybe even a leader within a union in
I guess Philadelphia. And she gets on here on she
calls in the Sea Span, which I know you're sitting
there breathlessly watching every day of your life. But she
calls in the Sea Span and she blames the government.
She says, Listen, I'm a Democrat, she says, but this
is the Democrats shutdown. They're the ones who voted against
(15:21):
this now thirteen times. They're the ones who have created this.
They don't need to do this. They need to vote
to end this shutdown because it's about to cause real
havoc on a lot more people. And I want to
play this. It's a minute and a half minute, forty
five seconds or so. But I'm just gonna let her
talk here in a moment, my friends, because I think
(15:44):
it's important to let them well. For the people again
who are insisting this as a republic, this is not
even this is not even perspective. This is just, as
a matter of fact, this is a Democrat shutdown. Democrats
shut down, and they've shut it down because they don't
care about people. They shut it down because they think
(16:04):
they've got a political winner. They don't care the consequences.
They are this politically desperate when Trump deports their future voters.
They are this politically desperate when Trump is trying to
clean up their voter rules in the state. They are
this politically desperate when Trump is trying to read district
in states like Indiana like they've done in Texas like
they're trying to do, and what North Carolina done in
(16:27):
Missouri and all that sort of stuff. They are desperate.
They have no leader of the Democrats. They have no ideas.
All they can bank on is to try to cause
the base to be an absolute just a chaotic state
of mind where they're afraid of their own shadows, going
out and joining these no Kings protests. That's all they've got. Fear, anxiety, depression, rage,
(16:56):
stir up the folks in Antifa.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
This is all they've got.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
My friends, they have nothing, and they're terrified. I'm they're
absolutely terrified. So I'll play this here in just a moment.
Before my friends I do that, let me remind you
that we have launched here at the Todd Host Show,
we have launched a division relaunched, I guess you could say, where.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
We help folks put their logo on almost anything.

red whiteandbrand dot com your logo on almost anything. All right,
that being set, c span here opens up their lines.
(18:05):
They take calls from people across the country talking here
about the government shut down. This was a couple of
days ago. This was day twenty This was on day
twenty seven, which would have been Monday. They have a
countdown twenty seven or twenty six days, seven hours, eighteen minutes.
That's how long the government had been shut down. And
(18:26):
so what do they do. They take callers, and there's
this Democrat caller who sets it straight and she explains
that this is a Democrat shut down. I'm just gonna
let this go because she explains this very well. She's
quite articulate, very clear headed in the way she presents this,
and she's spot on correct. Here she is explaining why
(18:48):
this is a Schumer shutdown in fact, and not a
Republican shutting.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Down to a worker.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
And I hear people talking about, you know, the president
needs to get involved, and the Democrats are saying, as
the Republicans are saying this, this is the truth. The Democrats,
and I'm a Democrat are the ones that actually in
the Senate side shut down the government.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
And they did not vote for continued resolution except for
three of them. One is the Senator of Pennsylvania, fetterment
and all. So they have to get together and stop
holding an American hostage. We're about to have people without
food become what November one, which is the end of
(19:32):
this week, and that's ridiculous. It is not worth it. Plus,
the healthcare companies have already said your way past the
deadline for them to change their costs that they're going
to give out to the public for the healthcare. So
because November one is open season, so.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Let me pause that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
So the Democrats and narrative here is that the Republicans
are not going to the continuing resolution doesn't address the
subsidies for Obamacare, and so that's what they're fighting for,
is for the healthcare of people. And she says, look,
this is just a bunch of bunk. They're out here
telling us lies. I mean, she's saying this about her
(20:17):
own party, by the way. She's saying, listen, they're lying
to us. The healthcare companies have already said, look, November
first is the open enrollment date.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
They've already got this stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
The plans set, that the prices are set, and all
of that.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
There's nothing that can be.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Done about this. She says, I don't know that's one
hundred percent true or not. All I do know that
what the Democrats are saying about the whole Affordable Care
Act or Obamacare subsidies are not rooted in reality.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That's not even the issue here.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
The issue is keeping funding at current levels as it
was on September thirtieth. All these other things could have
been addressed in the past nearly third days now twenty
nine days, we could have been engaging in negotiations about
these other things, but they refuse. They decided to shut
the government down in spite of all of that, and
now there's about to be well hurt for American people,
(21:15):
for the American people, for the folks who are on
some of these programs and so forth. And they want
to use this that they they know this, they want
this to happen, and they want to point the finger
at Donald J. Trump, at Republicans, and they want you.
They're banking on the fact that they think the American
people are fools and they don't see that they voted
against reopening the government thirteen separate times.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
But here this caller continues.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Oh, they need to get together. I know they keep
on saying the president needs to come back, but the
power of the perth is with the Congress, not the president.
You all talk about this president being the king, but
if you want him to solve this problem, you're making
him a king.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
That's a great one.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I've got to stop in America. I want the Democrats
to fight, but I want them to fight in a
negotiating way like I did when I was a Union president,
versus sitting up here constantly bickering and the Republican's bickering.
This has got to stop, and America has got to
stop accepting it. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
It's and Philly lenn and Philly.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, she's a spot. Tell me that's not right. By
the way, I love the line where she said, I
love the line where she said, Democrats are talking about
Trump being a king. If he comes in and solves
this problem, they're making him a king. This is a
congressional problem, specifically a problem within the Senate. Democrats have
been giving us the run around. This is on them
(22:44):
to fix, friends, I've got to take a time out,
Quick time out. It's good to see sanity returning to
Democrats across this country.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Quick time out, though, my friends, you're.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I'm your host,
the one, the only, the ever so well loved Tod
Huff back here in just a minute.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Welcome back, my friends.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
So the Democrats are starting to realize that they have
real problems amongst their leadership when it comes to solving
this government shut down. Democrats the rank and file anyway. Now, granted,
this is a Union Democrat. This is not a radical leftist.
This is someone who clearly sounds like she has sense.
(23:31):
I don't know why she's still in the Democrat Party
today given their leadership. But this is not some insane
She wasn't out there at the No Kings protests. I mean,
I don't know that. I don't think so. She's not
part of Antifa. Clearly not part of Antifa. She's just
an average, regular, middle of the road American slightly to
(23:55):
the left, votes for Democrats, probably because.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Of her Union affiliation.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
She believes Republicans are after their jobs and all that
sort of stuff in their wages, and so she thinks
Democrats are protecting them from the well, from the management,
from corporations and so forth. That's kind of the environment
I grew up in. So I don't think that this
(24:20):
lady's She's got sense, and she's got sense enough to
know that the Democrats are playing. The Democrats in the
Senate are playing their voters, banking on them being basically
low information voters, banking on them not knowing what's really
going on, banking on them blaming Republicans instead of blaming Democrats.
(24:42):
But many Democrats are awakening to this. This is not
a Republican shut down at all. Now, I will tell you.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
I will tell you that some of these folks are still.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Out there doubling and tripling down on the narrative that
it is a Republican shut down. In fact, Jake, and
this is to credit Jake Tapper. I am no fan
of Jake Tapper. I am on the record as saying
to you, I think Jake Tapper is basically, I think
(25:14):
he's a fraud. I think Jake Tapper's a fraud. I
try listen, I just I try to. This is never
personal for me, but I try to tell you what
I think is the truth. Jake Tapper is if he
wants to know the problem in this country when it
comes to getting the truth out and that sort of
thing I think he deserved.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
I think he should look in the mirror.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
That's what I think Jake Tapper, to me, the biggest,
the biggest, the most clear example of why Jake Tapper
is a fraud is how he and my opinion, this
is my opinion. I think he knew how bad Biden
was in twenty twenty, probably long before that. I mean,
I thought, well, excuse me, in twenty twenty four, probably
(25:58):
all the way back to twenty twenty, I knew. How
did I know? I've never met Biden. I've never had
Biden on this program. I didn't run around with people
that were in Biden's inner circle. I didn't talk to
Kareeine Jean Pierre on a daily basis or a semi
regular basis anyway. And you know, if I did, I
would have asked her. I would have asked her, what's
(26:19):
going on? Your boss is clearly not Well. Did Jake
not ever do that?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Well, I don't know what he did behind the closed doors,
but I do know this, I do know this. He
didn't mention any of this until after the election. Then
he and another so called journalist make believe journalists in
my opinion, wrote a book that they tried to sell
to the American people. I told you not to buy
the stupid book. I hope you didn't. I told you
I would tell you everything I knew about the book
that they were reporting if you were interested in people
(26:46):
exposing what was really happening with Joe Biden after the fact,
after it didn't matter, after there were no political consequences.
Then Jake Tapper in this I can't ever remember the
other guy's name, But it doesn't matter. They're all the same,
Like that's the thing, all the same. They're professional deceivers
in my opinion, and these folks are leading the American
people astray. They love controlling the information. Once it's not
(27:09):
going to hurt their political cause and their political movement,
their political party, then they'll write books about it. But
where was Jake Tapper? Where was Jake Tapper? Whenever it mattered,
when it actually mattered regarding who people were going to
vote for, he didn't mention it. Then he didn't mention
it at all. You know that reminds me.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I just I don't care anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Years ago I invited there there was I think it
was when either Kavanaugh or Gorsich was being appointed to
the Supreme Court. I believe Trump had nominated this individual.
I'm pretty sure it was one of those two. I
think it was. I think it might have been Gorsich.
(27:53):
It may have been, it doesn't matter. I believe it
was a Supreme Court fight. I invited Senator Todd Young,
who's on this in this state, in the state of Indiana.
I wanted him to come on here and talk about
his position on whether you know he was going to
support the nominee or whatever. His people now it was
his team, not him. His people said, you know what,
Todd would love to come on the program if but
(28:17):
he doesn't want to come on now.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
He wants to come on later. And I said, I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
About well, with all due respect, I don't care about later.
I don't care about what he thinks when the stakes
aren't high. This is not, by the way, in a
campaign here in Indiana, Todd Young a Republican. We're going
to hear about his being a marine, and I appreciate
his service, but that's not how marines lead.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
My friend that's that's not how leaders lead. You don't
hide from the conflict whenever it matters and.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Then come out after the fact once you see where
all the chips fell and say, well, this is what
I think should have happened.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
That's just look, I'm done with that.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
We need we need real leadership in the US Senate
and that's just one example. We need we need real
people who are prepared to fight for the things when
they actually matter. And it just it's it's it's sickening
to me candidly, if I'm being honest with you, it's
not real leadership. It's one of the reasons I stopped
(29:14):
doing a whole lot. We're doing more interviews. I think
a part of this is I have to hold my
nose and deal with this sort of stuff from time
to time, not always. I've had great guests on This
is not meant to pull everybody into that, but there
are certainly people who behave like that. They want to
figure out where the right side of the issue is
(29:34):
after the fact and then just kind of blend in
and not make a difference. That we are so far
past that we are in a survival for this country.
Democrats are holding hostage this great nation. By the way,
where are those senators? I don't hear them out there
railing about what's happening in the Senate. Maybe they are,
and I'm just not seeing it. Sometimes I don't follow
(29:57):
it like that, but I certainly haven't seen them out
out there. Here's Jake Tapper on with Representative Melanie Stansbury.
She's a Democrat representative from the state of New Mexico.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Now credit Tapper.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Here for pushing back a little bit on her and
asking her, well, why the Democrats are allowing the shutdown
to happen. I just want you to listen to the side. Sorry,
I muted myself. The pure sophistry and nonsense that exists
in this conversation. It's like she lives on another planet
(30:31):
where logic and reason do not reside. Let's listen to
this conversation between Jake Tapper and Democrat Representative Melanie Stansbury
regarding the Schumer shutdown in Washington, DC.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Should the Democratic senators from New Mexico, your home state,
vote to open the government so that these snap funds
are not at risk?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Let me be clear, Oh boy, the administration is choosing
to starve American children with money that they already have
appropriate the White House. This is a choice.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
This is also this is also a choice by Senate
Democrats to not have government.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yes, it is. I understand why they're doing it.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
They're doing it because they want Medicaid funds restored. They're
doing it because they want Obamacare premiums to be extended
past the end of the year.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I understand the reason.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I let me just be clear. The money for contingency
plans is sitting there. That is why the states are
suing the White Houses withholding funds.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
From two to three weeks worth of SNAFF funds.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah, well you may not be a big deal to you,
but it is a big deal to me. The grandparents
for it is a big deal. They literally are feeding
their children. That it's a short accounts.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
It's a short term.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
At the end of the day, you need to be
able to feed their families.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Government feel so strong, congress Woman, why not asking the
Senate Democrats from New Mexico that I.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Am here in the House of Representatives. It is shut down.
I am fighting to get the government rep I am
fighting to get funding put back into SNAP that is
already existent, and I am fighting for the American people.
I here to show me a single Republican that is here.
Not a single one is here as are fed on Saturday.
That is why I am here.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
So disingenuous. You know what, I don't want to say it.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I kind of do, but I won't disingenuous. It's shut
down because the Democrats shut it down, pure and simple.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
We don't need contingency funds.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
All you have to do is open up the government
exactly exactly as it was the second is shut down.
But they don't want to do that. They want the
talking point.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
They want the pain.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I'm telling you they want the pain because pain causes
people to make changes, and they are happy to cause
pain for the American people. It's sick and sad, my friends.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Welcome back, my friends.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Third and final segment of today's program. Let's face it,
there are a lot of companies out there that don't
share your Christian values. You know the good news you
do not have to invest in them, my friends at

with your values, or how they don't align with your values,
whatever that might look like, go to four eight financial
dot com slash todd that's for eight financial dot com
slash todd Financial. Because our values matter and so does
our money. I told you off the top, I want
to stop talking about the shutdown here for a moment.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
I told you off the top.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
In addition to the shutdown, I was going to spend
a little bit of time talking about voter rolls, federal
the federal government's attempt to clean or make states clean
their voter roles, and all of that as they fight
to secure election integrity.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
What's interesting his here, What's I guess you would say, what's.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Unfortunate is that we have people who are fighting for
election integrity. This is something all of us should agree with.
All of us should be in agreement that we want
fair and accurate election results. Now we want the process
of voting to be as easy as possible while maintaining
(36:03):
its security. This seems very very common sensical to me,
and we've learned a lot.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Of things that.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Well, just just from following elections looking at how other
countries do their elections. There have been cases laws that
were people people that have been have gone to jail
for breaking the law. As it pertains to elections, there's
a lot of things that could happen, and the simpler
(36:35):
the better, and having the you know, every time you
have the polls open, there is a possibility for fraud.
That doesn't mean that it's rampant. It just means that
there's a possibility. Just like if you're a store owner,
every time you have you know, if you every time
you open the.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Doors, someone can shoplift.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
People can shoplift and break in and enter when you're
not open, but you can and secure it differently obviously,
when you're closed than when you're open. You can pull
the little bars over the front windows, you can turn
off the lights, you can you know, turn on motion detector,
whatever whatever you do. But every time that you're open
(37:17):
to take votes, you're also open to the possibility of fraud.
And the reasonable reasonable people say, let's just make that
we understand that the risk can never be zero, but
we don't want it to be widespread and we want
to take safe, precautionary steps to prevent it from happening.
And listen, I've shared on this program how I helped.
(37:39):
I think I should have known, maybe I was writing something,
but I had a person on my team.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
She voted for the first time.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
She voted for Joseph Biden back in twenty twenty, and
she had requested an absentee ballot here in Indiana, and
she said, I just have questions.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
I've never done this before.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
So I sat down and I answered her questions as
objectively as I could.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
She voted. I didn't. She didn't tell me.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
She ended up telling me later. I never asked, but
I made sure she could cast her ballot no matter
who she was going to vote for. And that's the
way that it should be. I wanted her vote to count.
I would hope that she wanted my vote to count,
even though she disagreed with it. And that's what we
have to have in this country. Whatever the vote is,
(38:28):
that needs to be accurate and correct. And part of
the problem here. Part of the problem is that some
of these states have voter roles that are absolutely a mess,
absolutely a mess. The DOJ's Department of Justice's Civil Rights
Division has told states that they need to submit clean
(38:49):
excuse me to submit and clean voter registration lists or
face lawsuits. Six states have already been I believe, sued California, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania. The Department of Justice has
cited several laws, including the Voting Rights Act and the
(39:11):
Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty and they requested information.
What they're trying to do is say, do you have
reasonable measures?
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Here?
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Are these lists clean? Are people registered in multiple places
within your state? Are they listed multiple times here in
your state?
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Period?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
And that can they vote multiple times? Are these people
living those sorts of things? Now, the states are saying
that the federal government is, you know, that they can't
be trusted with this data, which is crazy to me,
because then why are you collecting it?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
States?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Why are states collecting the data if the federal government
can't have it. Listen, I'm all for states rights, but
there are times when the federal government has a prerogative
to know these things and these this information, these lists
of names are are basically the pathway, the legal pathway
into casting a ballot in an election, and the federal
(40:07):
government has a prerogative to make sure that these federal
elections are cleaned up to the best of their ability.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
This is just.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Common sense, and the more inappropriate that the more poorly
kept I should say these voter rules are, the more
it presents opportunities for fraud. If people's names I've shared
with you before. I had a gentleman who's in California.
He said he went to vote. He didn't have to
show an ID, he just had to say his name.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Said.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
He glanced down at the paper and his name was
on there four times in some variation. Can you not
see how that's a problem. He could have gone back
theoretically four times. Folks, I gotta go, gotta wrap it up.

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.
