Government shutdown day 34, and the spin is flying. Today Todd breaks down why Democrats—not Republicans—are keeping Washington closed and explains the simple filibuster fix that could end the standoff. We also dig into SNAP reform after USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins told Fox News that widespread abuse is being uncovered—plus what those numbers really mean for taxpayers and the truly needy. Then we pivot to border security: known or suspected terrorists stopped this year, ICE enforcement, and Trump’s claim that raids “haven’t gone far enough.” Finally, Todd reacts to the media outrage over JD Vance’s comments about faith and his wife—and why wanting the best for your spouse isn’t controversial. Includes a weekend Fox News soundbite with Brooke Rollins and the host. Conservative, not bitter… always.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's Home, Poor, Conservative,
not Bitter Talk and education. Be advised. The content of
this program has been talking about it two prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. And now, coming to you from the
(00:29):
full suite Wealth Studios, here is your Conservative but not
Bitter host Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, my friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for joining us here on today's Toodcast. My pleasure,
my pleasure to be here today. I want to talk
about what do I want to talk about here. I
want to talk about the we're in the thirty fourth
day of the Schumer shutdown. I want to talk about, well,
(00:57):
just briefly, give you an update on that mention, what
I think needs to happen next with the filibuster. In fact,
there's some discussion here within the Republican Party about this.
Apparently there's some who are opposed to this surprise surprise
in the Republican Party because of the way it might
(01:20):
be abused by the Democrats. We'll go through that briefly.
I want to talk about snap reform. Snap reform, which
we'll get to. Brooke Rollins is out there USDA Secretary
talking about that this will lead into border security, because
Trump's out there talking about ice raids haven't gone far
(01:41):
enough border security. The number of known or suspected terrorists
stopped in twenty twenty five might boggle your mind. And
then in the next segment or at the end of
the program, I want to talk a little bit about
comments that jd Vance, our Vice president, made about his
wife Ushavance, and she well, his comments about her faith
(02:06):
or the faith that he hopes she one day chooses,
and it's amazing to me. It's amazing to me how
people distort, misrepresent, get angry about his comments when it's
actually the most wonderful thing a husband or a spouse
could wish for another spouse in this particular case. So anyway,
(02:28):
I want to get to that, and there's probably a
lot more that we'll get to as well. I've got
an announcement about a guest on tomorrow's program. Lots to
get to here today, my friends, and I'm glad to
be here with you. You know, one of the biggest
challenges that we as conservatives have is finding ways to
ensure our values align with everything we do. That includes
how we invest our money. That's why I love what
(02:50):
the team at four eight financial is doing. They specialize
in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies
that don't align with our faith and our values, so
we're not funding things that go against what we believe in.
Forget about what we believe in. What the scriptures teach
us is good and moral and righteous, it doesn't fund
(03:15):
It prevents us from funding those things. So they do
that heavy lifting for us. We don't have to do
the hours of research and all that. This can get complicated,
but they've got the tools and resources to figure that
out for us, helping make sure our investments align with
our purpose, goals, and beliefs. So you can take a
(03:36):
free assessment right now to see to what degree or
how your investments align with your values. All you have
to do is head on over to four eight financial
dot com slash todd again for eight financial dot com
slash todd for eight financial. Because our money should work
for our values. All right, Oh, let's get into it
(04:01):
here today, my friends. As I mentioned off the top,
we are in day number thirty four of the government
shut down. We know that snap benefits have been impacted
as of Saturday. This is again a strategy that the
left of the Democrat Party, the Senate Democrats in particular,
(04:23):
are employing. They believe. I've seen some polling. I've seen
some polling to actually say that they have some success.
They're getting some traction here blaming Republicans for this and
saying that the Republicans are what basically trying to starve
people and take away their health insurance and everything else,
when in reality that's a bunch of nonsense. We've gone
(04:43):
through this. I am tired of talking about this. To
be quite candid, I'm tired of talking about this. This
is such a cut and dry issue. I've lost interest.
We have to Here's where I stand on this. We
have communicated this. I've seen Speaker Johnson communicating this. I've
seen people from the White House communicating this. I've seen
(05:07):
Senator John Thune communicating this. I've seen people all over
the place communicating this. Democrats have shut down the government.
This is this is not complicated to understand. Yes, Republicans
have a majority in the House, the Senate, and of
course the White House, but they don't have a super majority.
I don't know how to make this any clearer. I'm
(05:28):
gonna say this louder for the people in the back.
I know the vast majority of you are catching on
have known this from the beginning. You're onto the Democrats'
tricks and how they try to engage in political theater
for political victories, even when it causes harm for people
that doesn't It doesn't need to be inflicted on the
people in this particular instance, but Democrats insist that it
(05:53):
does because it helps them politically, or they think it does.
At least that's what some polling maybe focus groups, is
determining for today's Democrat party. And so they're out there
telling the lie Republicans have the majority, why don't they
just pass it? Because it requires more than a majority
knuckleheads to pass something from the Senate because of the
(06:15):
filibuster rule. And I would tell them, you know what,
I think I would say this if I was Senator
John Thune. Of course, you got to get people like
Susan Collins and the others who are reluctant to change
the filibuster rule as it pertains to this government. To
government shutdowns in general, you can change the rule. I
went through how we could do this, maybe last week
(06:37):
or the week before, I'm not sure, but you can
change the rule. I went through the process. I'm not
going to go through the process. But basically what it
means is someone says this rule has been violated. The
parliamentarian is going to say, no, it isn't, and so
they're going to call for a point of order to say, well,
we want to amend the rules so that it does
(06:59):
prevent using the filibuster for this, and then that will
require a simple majority vote. I don't know why they
don't do this. Maybe they don't have the votes. I
think they don't want the political headlines with this. But
I would say, look, the Democrats have been telling you
out there for all these weeks now that we have
the political majority in both houses and that we should
(07:21):
you know, by not being able to reopen the government,
we are showing that we don't have the political will
or the ability to get our act together. We took
them at the word here, we followed their advice and
we decided, yeah, you know what, they're right, We should
simply say that the filibuster will not be used to
hold Americans hostage, to shut down this government, to engage
(07:44):
in political theater, not to encourage actual continuation of debate,
but to pull to cause things to grind to a
halt in our nation's capital. We have fallen victim. We
have fallen prey to the tactics and the way that
the left has been operating as a party, the Democrat
Party has been operating ever since Trump came along, for sure,
(08:07):
and this goes way back before Trump as well. But
we're gonna take them, We're gonna take their advice here,
and we're gonna say that's right, they're right. We should
just use our powers. This is constitutional powers here, we
can change the rules. This is completely this is they're
not debating ideas. They're not trying to continue debate on
(08:29):
an issue that the American people want to get to
the bottom of. This is about reopening the government. This
is about continuing spending exactly as it was on September thirtieth,
and then when the calendar flipped to October first, they
suddenly were against everything that was being done on September thirtieth.
This is Shenanigan's This is not serious. This is nerfball.
(08:52):
This ain't playing real you know politics, this is just
silly gamesmanship. They're right, we should use our majority power,
and that's what we're gonna do. That's what needs to
happen here. I don't know if it will. I don't
know if they can because I don't know if the
likes of Susan Collins and other Republicans like Lisa Murkowski.
(09:13):
Now I will say Fetterman's on board with this, Fetterman
will come over. Don't know what rand Paul will do
in this instance because he's not in favor of any
government spending. But on principle, I would think that you
wouldn't want the government shut down when you have a
majority of people who have a plan that will reopen it.
(09:34):
But again, we'll see. But that's to me, this is
what needs to happen. This is the tact in the
direction that it needs to go. Now, you know that
many many conversations have been had about SNAP reform, Snap
reform and USDA Secretary Brook Rollins. She was on an
interview recently, she was on maybe a couple of interviews,
(09:59):
and she says that SNAP benefits will be drastically reformed
after thousands of illegals have been removed from the program.
Now she has said, she has said that there have
been let me let me read the quote here. Well,
(10:19):
let me back up her. Here she is on Let's
just play the clip. She's on Fox and Front. Well,
she's on Fox, I should say, not not Fox and Friends.
She's on Fox talking about this very thing. She's talking
about Snap. She's talking about the people who receive money,
talking about SNAP in relationship to the government being shut
(10:42):
down and people losing these benefits in all of this.
And she's going to point out some things. She's going
to point out why it is, why it is that, Well,
just how many people are abusing the system? How about
that the people that are abusing the system some that
are of course American, but some of course are not American.
(11:03):
And it's remarkable to me the number of people who
don't just willingly don't believe that our system is being
well taken over, if you will, abused by people on
that are not even Americans. What is so hard to
(11:25):
believe about that today? What is so hard to believe
about that people that are here illegally are taking advantage
of the system. I know that people will say, well,
the law prevents this, and that the law prevents people
from coming into this country illegally. The law is already
there for that, But yet it hasn't prevented them from
(11:47):
being here illegally. So why would it prevent them? What
safeguards are in place to ensure that nobody is abusing
the system? Why is it? Why is that the case?
Tell me why? I mean, I've often said this about
people voting illegally. Why do people think that there's a line,
(12:10):
if you will, a border, a border that's guarded by polsters, right,
poll workers? On election day? We have we have people
who cross our southern border illegally, but yet they won't
cross the threshold of the border between the voting machine
(12:31):
and the general public. Why would they not do that?
What prevents them from doing that? Why are voting? Why
are elections more secure, at least in the past before
Trump took over. Why are elections more secure than our
southern border, especially when you don't have things like I
D and things along those lines. When you give when
(12:54):
you give illegal aliens a voter or excuse me be
a driver's license. I just none of this makes any sense, right, So,
of course there are people who find ways around the system.
This is not complicated. This is human nature. And she's
here saying the director of the USDA Secretary that seven
(13:19):
hundred thousand, seven hundred thousand illegal aliens have been or
are in the process of being removed from the system.
I'll let you listen to a little bit of this
conversation she has on Fox over the weekend. Again, this
is USDA Secretary, USDA Secretary here speaking with Fox News
(13:43):
about this, Brooke Rollins, and you can listen here to
what she has to say about this very issue. If
I can find the clip again, I scrolled up. Here
we go here she is getting some of these numbers.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Forty two million Americans are on SNAP. So that's one
in eight seventy three percent of SNAP households that are
at or below poverty level. Seventy nine percent of SNAP
households include children or seniors or disabled people, and the
average household benefit is about three hundred and thirty two dollars. Also, Brooke,
(14:18):
you've said this before, and I think it's really interesting
you said some of the silver lining as we're getting
to look a little bit behind the SNAP program. So
we know that twenty percent of illegals are on SNAP,
and that fifty nine percent of households headed by illegals
use SNAP or some other multiple welfare programs.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Talk to us about that as well. I'm gonna pause that.
Think about what she just said. Twenty percent of illegal aliens,
according to Brooke Rollins, are on SNAP. Fifty nine percent
of households that are the head of household being an
illegal alien are also on SNAP. That's what she's saying.
(15:00):
Now the Left is going to say, no, no, no,
that's illegal. We've got it written somewhere on a piece
of paper that says you can't have these benefits if
you are here illegally. Again, how many things. It's illegal
to have a driver's license, It's illegal to vote in elections.
Now you'll see some cities that say you can vote
(15:22):
in local elections, which is absolutely insane that you would
allow someone to vote in an election who's not here
and shouldn't even their opinions should not matter in the
election because they're not a citizen. I mean, is a
mind blowing to me to think how far the left
has gone down that path of absolute and utter insanity.
(15:42):
But there's a lot of things you shouldn't be able
to do if you're an illegal alien. If you're a terrorist,
by the way, you shouldn't be allowed to come across
our southern border. We know for a fact this happened
during the Biden administration. I've got the numbers on how
many suspected or even known terrors were stopped in twenty
twenty five by the Trump administration. I'll share that number
(16:05):
here in a bit. But there's lots of things you're
not supposed to be able to do as an illegal alien. However,
the reality is you absolutely can because this government, well
the previous government, the Biden administration in particular, let them
do whatever they can.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Make no mistake about this. This was an attempt. This
is an ongoing attempt of the left to secure a
voting base for winning elections. This was all about electoral politics.
The left is not some sympathetic group you may have seen.
I haven't. This is not in my stack of stuff
(16:44):
to talk about. But you may have seen. A group
of teachers over the weekend actually was on Halloween. Halloween
was Friday. A group of teachers posted a picture on
I believe it was the school's Facebook page. I could
be wrong, but it said what the T shirts say, OZ.
(17:06):
Look it up.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oz is a whisperer. I gotta take the headphones off
even to hear Oz. But there was a message. It
said something like mission accomplished or that's not it. Problem solved.
There you go. So there's a group of teachers that
look like they tied eyed shirts to where it looked
like half of it was was soaked in blood basically,
(17:31):
and then it said across the front, what was it?
Problem solved? Problem solved? Across the front centered chest, referencing
Charlie Kirk. There's like eight or nine teachers. Again, I
think it was on the school's Facebook page. I could
be mistaken, but these people were proud, proud out there.
You know, they're saying that they're sympathetic. They're sympathetic to
(17:55):
I guess people who are looking to, you know, make
a way in this world. But they'll celebrate the death
of a father and a husband and someone that many
young people looked up to and learned from. They'll celebrate that.
Don't take any lecture from these folks. These folks are
(18:17):
living in absolute depravity. It's absolutely wicked. These people are
not moral superstars or anything like that. In fact, if
you go around this planet, thinking that you are a
moral example to everyone else, I would suggest you really
reevaluate things because none of us, none of us should
(18:37):
think of ourselves that way. In fact, that's a quick way.
The Bible says pride comes before the fall. I would
caution anyone with that mindset to be very, very careful
in thinking you've got it figured out that you're the
moral example for the world to follow. We've already got
a moral example for the world to follow. And his
(18:58):
name was Jesus. Candidly, he doesn't need the rest of us.
He wants the rest of us to follow his teachings,
to be made in his likeness, but not to be
the example, but to be holy and set apart and
to be a reflection of him, to be more liking,
because that's in all of our best interest. But that's
another subject here. So getting back here to this conversation.
(19:22):
She's asking about all these people who are on snap
benefits and all this, and just listen to Brooke Rollin's
response here.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Well, a couple of things. There's been a lot of
miscommunication out there on the program. But the first this
is one of the first things we did when I
walked in the Day Day one of USDA February thirteenth,
is we sent letters to every governor in America being
very clear that no illegal aliens can use SNAP zero zero.
We asked every state for the first time in history,
(19:54):
and this was in February, to send us their data
and let us with DOGE and a war room, actually
start going through this data to better understand how this
explosion of SNAP benefits happened under Joe Biden. We increased
almost forty percent on this program in just a couple
of years under the Biden administration. Of course we know
they were trying to buy the election, but that's a
(20:15):
conversation for another time. And since we have asked for
that data, twenty nine states have complied. Complied, of course,
almost all the Red states, a couple of the you know,
the couple of Blue states too. But in that data,
and I haven't talked about this yet publicly, in that data,
we have found We've studied about one hundred billion dollars
in spend. We have found thousands and thousands of illegal
(20:40):
use of the EBT card. We have been moving people
off of SNAP. We've got almost seven hundred thousand people.
I think we've moved off. Just since the president took office,
we've arrested about one hundred and eighteen people, So this
has been ongoing. But Rachel, to your point, what this
conversation has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken
and corrupt program.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We found one guy.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
In six different states getting a benefit. We found about
five thousand people that are dead who are still getting benefits.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Like it is.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Time to drastically reform this program so that we can
make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable
are getting what they need and the rest of the
corruption goes away and we can serve the American taxpayer.
So we want to number one most important, get the
government open, make sure the people that really need this
money are going to get it. But guess what, there's
a new sheriff in town. His name is Donald Trump.
(21:32):
And this program will be reformed. We will hold people accountable,
and we will be able to help those who really
knew it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, and that's exactly what should happen. This is what
it sounds like when the adults are in the room
in control. No one's trying to take away. We can
have a discussion on these actual programs. What the requirements
are whether or not we have them, whether states run them,
whether heaven. It would be great if the the government
(22:01):
didn't have to do this, if there were other mechanisms
in place where the free market was solving some of
these problems. But let's just say that this program is
what we have to have. Why wouldn't you want it
cleaned up? Why wouldn't you want the people who should
not be on the program to be off the program? Now,
not all those folks are illegal aliens. Some of those
folks are Americans who are abusing this system and so forth.
(22:23):
That needs to be stopped, my friends. Also, what needs
to be stopped is this segment because I'm reaching the
end of our time together. Friends, let me remind you,
if you have a business, if you're in HR, if
you're in marketing, and you're looking to put your logo

time out, my friends. You're listening here to conservative not
better talk. I'm your host, the one, the only, the
ever so beloved Todd Huff back your in just a minute.
Welcome back, my friends. There is a lot of confusion
(23:10):
out there about a product called Kreatum. You've probably heard
some of the headlines, and most of them are based
on synthetic junk and garbage that is not real Kreatim
at all. Real Kreatom is natural, tested, handled with care,
(23:32):
not mixed with other synthetic things, and that's exactly what
you get from Christopher's Organic Botanicals. They're a family run
company that partners directly with farmers in Indonesia. Every batch
is lab tested for purity. Every batch is tested to
make sure that it is safe. No chemicals, no fillers,
(23:52):
no shortcuts. This is a trusted herbal option. It's been
used for generations and it's a real alternative for people
looking for something that doesn't come with a warning label
some of these other medications that come with warning labels
that are a mile long. You can start with the
Kreatim Starter pack coupon code Todd Huff gets you ten
(24:14):
percent off your first order. I encourage you to research this.
I know, listen, I just told you there's a lot
of misinformation out there, and that's what Christophers wants as well.
Look into this to see if this if you have
a you know, if you're looking to get off of
some of these prescription medications for you know, different things.
That doesn't solve every problem. I'm not saying that, but
(24:35):
look into this research it, see if it's good for you,
See if you think it's a solution that's worth trying.
Just visit Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. That's Christopher's Organic
Botanicals dot com. True tradition transparency. All right, I want
to continue discussing guide of in the same the same
(24:55):
vein here. What we've been discussing so far. We've been
talking about the government shutdown. We'll be talking about SNAP
benefits that led us into the discussion about illegal aliens.
Although it's not all just listen, it's not just illegal
aliens who are abusing the SNAP program. It's all people
I get tired of saying. And I know the core
(25:16):
daily listener here, I know that you know this. But
for those who are tuning in, those who have listened
to the mainstream media, those who see the world through
a lens of race, and ethnicity and all these other
things instead of just the lens of humanity. We are
all human beings. We are all human beings created in
the image of God. We are all human beings who
have used our freedom of choice to make bad choices,
(25:39):
to do things that dare I say are evil. Now,
there's degrees of evil, I understand from especially from a
human perspective. It's much more evil to do what Adolf
Hitler did, or to do what the abortionists are doing
than to tell a white lie. I understand that. But
it's all degrees of evil. It's called sin in the Bible.
(26:02):
And it doesn't matter what It doesn't matter who you are,
what's your background. You could be a follower of Jesus,
or you could be the most hardcore atheist out there,
anything in between, any other religion or anything. And still
there's within every single group of people people who do
some really really atrocious things, really really atrocious things. So,
(26:25):
in other words, there are people who would take advantage
of advantage of snap benefits if given the opportunity, if
they are American or if they're illegal aliens. This should
not surprise anybody. I just it is. It is amazing
to me the number of people who would say things
like no, no, no. The you know, there's a piece of
(26:46):
paper out there that says illegal aliens can't be on
snap benefits. Well, there's lots of pieces of paper with
lots of things out there that say people shouldn't be
able to do X, Y and z, and people are
doing X, y and z all the time. I don't
how much is your head how much does your head
have to be buried into the sand to think that
there is a zero percent rate of crime for any
(27:13):
group of people or regarding any particular thing. There. Of course,
there are people that do everything. We have, what is it,
three hundred and thirty three hundred and forty million people
living in this country. Obviously, absolutely these folks people are
going to do things that shouldn't be done, things that
are even written on a piece of paper somewhere. It's
(27:33):
amazing to me how the left things you can just
put something down on a piece of paper. Reminds me
of these stupid nuclear deals we made with people like well,
nations like North Korea back in the day with Bill Clinton,
or like we made with Iran under President Obama's reign
as president. And they think well, they signed the paper,
(27:55):
they made a pinky promise. I guess we're not going
to have any nuclear weapon in Iran or North Korea.
What kind of level of ignorance and stupidity must one
have to come to that conclusion. Now there are illegal aliens, absolutely,
I have no doubt in my mind. I don't know
the numbers. I don't know she said seven hundred thousand.
(28:16):
I don't think she was saying seven hundred thousand illegal aliens,
though possibly it wasn't entirely clear. I think she was
saying they found seven hundred thousand people in total who
were abusing the system, who were trying to take advantage
of the system, who didn't qualify for the system, that
were getting advanced or getting beneficial. I should say, from snap,
(28:38):
some American, some illegal alien, listen the people who are
really The guy that's in six states that's making a
healthy living off of this, I think is worse. I
think it's worse than the guy who's here illegally trying
to feed his family. I also think that that's bad.
I don't think either one should be allowed to happen.
Both should be stopped. I mean, I don't underst stay
(29:00):
in what there's so much that I've heard people say
that statistically, illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes.
And I just think that that's insane based on what
based on data provided by states. By the way, did
you see when she or did you hear I should say,
she just said they've requested the governments requested this data
(29:22):
from the states. Twenty nine of them have given them
the data. Twenty one of them haven't. Or if you
prefer Obama's numbers of fifty seven states, I guess that
means what is that thirty or twenty nine states haven't
given them the data either way. Either way, my friends,
it's a lot of states haven't given them the data.
(29:43):
And why why not? What do they have to hide?
It's just it's truly maddening. So that's what she's out
there saying. The system is absolutely any system, any system
we have, is being corrupted or being abused by somebody. No,
this is this is beyond common sense. You put a
speed limit signed up. I saw in Indianapolis. There's the
(30:06):
highway that you know, most cities, big cities have an
interstate that kind of encircles the city, or many of
those do Indianapolis has what's called four sixty five. The
speed limit used to be fifty five, which was a
joke because if you ran fifty five out there, you'd
get mote over. They've raised the speed limit. I believe
the sixty five. Do you think do you think because
(30:27):
you put signs up every couple of miles or whatever
that says speed limit sixty five, do you think that
that ensures because it's written in the books, nobody should
go faster than that speed. Do you think anyone is
going faster than that? I mean, you know the answer
to this. I just, of course, if you open a
polling place on election day, there are going to be
(30:48):
people some percentage who try to vote who shouldn't vote.
We can argue about whether it's a small percentage or
a large percentage, whether other things are happening, But the
idea that someone would try to take advantage of the
system and use it to their benefit, of course, that
will happen. It's the case with anything. If you open
a grocery store, someone's going to try to steal from you.
(31:11):
This is not complicated stuff, my friends, not complicated stuff.
In the slightest I want to move on, though, because
I do want to talk about JD. Van is probably
going to be in the next segment, but I want
to tell you. I told you I would tell you
the number of known or suspected terrorists stopped this year.
This stuff, by the way, is all in our stack
(31:31):
of stuff at the website totefshow dot com if you
want to read this for yourself. I don't have a
lot of time to spend here because of the format
of the program. Headline here border Security six thousand, five
hundred twenty five known or suspected terrorists stopped. Federal agencies
report six thousand, five hundred and twenty five known or
(31:52):
suspected terrorists were prevented from INNY, prevented, by the way,
prevented from entering the US. This year, we are most
at the southern borders, spotlighting the national security stakes of
immigration policy. Six thousand, five hundred and twenty five known
or suspected terrorists were stopped. And then Trump's out there.
(32:15):
I don't have a lot of time. I just got
a minute here. I just want to mention this and
let you know that this is also in the stack
of stuff at the website if you want to see it.
It's at Brightbart if you'd rather try to dig it
up there, but we've got the direct link on our website.
Trump's on sixty minutes and he says, Look, he said
(32:36):
that ice raids haven't gone far enough. That's what Trump said.
I don't know if I can. Yeah, I think this
is it. Let me see if this is it. I
may have grabbed the wrong one here. Let's just see.
I've got just a little bit of time. I got
time to play this, so let's let her rip and
see what we got here. Make sure.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Recently Americans have been watching videos of ice tackling a
young motherer, gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood,
and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these
raids gone too far?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been
held back by the by the judges, by the liberal
judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
You're okay with those tactics.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, because you have to get the people out, Okay.
So that's that's a clip. That's a clip of the
of the full interview that they're teasing. But Trump's out
there saying, no, we haven't we haven't gone too far.
We haven't gone far enough. We've deported What is it?
I said this on the program the other day. I
think the target by the end of the year is
six hundred thousand deportations. It's five hundred thousand something as
(33:43):
of right now, but six hundred thousand physical deportations is
the goal by the end of the year. There's been
one point I forget the number. It's somewhere around when
you factor in self deport I gotta get a look
at the clock. Quick time out, my friends, back in
just a minute. All right, my friends, I got a lot.
(34:05):
I gotta get to. First thing I gotta tell you
is I was starting to say the number of people
that have been deported self deported is one point six million.
I had to jump off. I glanced at the clock.
I thought I had more time than I did. One
point six million self deportations this year. The goal of
six hundred thousand physical deportations this year. So there's going
(34:28):
to be somewhere in the neighborhood of two point two
to maybe two point five that may be stretching it,
depending upon how many other self deportations happen between now
and the end of the year, so two point two
maybe slightly higher up to maybe as a reach two
point five million. Trump says we need to do more
and listen, there's a lot of Americans who would agree
(34:50):
with those sentiments. I don't have time to talk about
that because I've got two other things that i want
to get to first. My friends, have you ever noticed
how some families seem to have plan that lasts for generations?
It's not by accident. Full Sweet Wealth works with people
who want their wealth to make a difference for years
to come. Their team brings together high level investment strategies
(35:11):
like private equity, private credit, and options strategies with expert
legal guidance. It's about making sure your vision becomes a
reality for the people you love today and for them tomorrow.
As wealth, you're looking to do more than dis manage
your money. If you want to leave a mark and
(35:31):
build something lasting, take a look at full Sweet Wealth.
Jason and his team will take good care of you.
They've got a ton of services that will help in
ways that I think before you look into this, it's
you can't even imagine. So full sweetwealth dot com. Build
your legacy, secure your future. Okay, two other things. First,
(35:56):
I want to tell you tomorrow, just a real quick
announce I mentioned this in the newsletter last week, and
by the way, I would welcome your questions. I'm inviting
onto the well. A lot of Democrats won't come on
this program. They prefer to make bold, bodacious claims on
X and so forth, rather than actually be questioned about them.
So they don't want to come on this program and
(36:18):
have a real conversation. If you know someone that is
a dinner I welcome them. Look, we can be friends
so much as it's up to me. I've learned that
it's not all up to me. But I welcome you
on this program if you have something of value to
say and it interests me. We've invited bo Bye, who's
a third generation You might know the name by if
(36:38):
you're a Hoosier. His grandfather was governor, his dad was
senator and governor. Bobie is running for a Secretary of
State here. He's going to be coming on the program
talking about redistracting, talking about just politics in general. I'm
going to ask him about the Democrat Party. They've always
positioned themselves. The Bye family has his moderates. I don't
know how you can be a moderate in today's Democrat party.
(37:02):
But I'll let him tell you how he can. Wilson,
you can decide what you think. But that's the direction
we're going in that conversation tomorrow. So I'll want to
make sure that you let me know, and if you
have questions you would like me to ask him, email them,
send in my way Todd at toddefshow dot com, or
if you get the newsletter, just reply with your thoughts,
which you already could have could have done. All right?
(37:24):
Is that everything? I think? It is the last thing
I want to get to here, and I don't have
nearly as much time as i'd hoped. Headline here the Guardian.
You'll find this in a lot of places. Jd Vance
Repeat's comments he wants his wife Usha to convert to Christianity.
Now there's a lot of outrage about this, a lot
of people that are saying this is intolerant. This is
(37:45):
what I guess. He's racist against his own wife, or
he's just not in favor of her cultural beliefs and
so forth. Let me tell you, let's break this down again.
I wish I had more time to talk about this,
but the claim made by Christianity. The claims made by
all religions are truth claims. So a lot of people
(38:06):
want you to believe and this is a superficial in
I would say, an either insincere or very ignorant assessment
of what you could call religion to be. Religion is
the foundation of our worldview, I mean, and how we
see the origins of how we got here on this planet.
(38:31):
The way we answer the why why am I here?
What am I supposed to be doing? What's my purpose?
All that kind of stuff. The way that we answer
those questions are incredibly important. What happens to us after
we pass away and leave this planet is that it
are there more things to come? What have you? A
(38:52):
lot of people, what have you believe? Religion is just
a set of fanciful stories to make people feel better
and to help them hope with difficulties. I'm not saying
that there's no person that looks at it that way
and tries to comfort himself or herself with these stories.
But I am saying that they're making a truth claim.
And JD. Vance as a follower of Christ, let's let's
(39:13):
take the names out of it, because some of you
can't stomach to even consider that JD. Vance might be
a Christian. But so just whoever, you know, pick whatever
person you want, whoever that person is, who makes a
profession of faith in Christ. What they are acknowledging is
that Jesus was sent by the One True God, the
(39:33):
creator of this universe, as a way to be reconciled
with him, so that we could live eternally with him
in heaven, being made in his image, being basically having
the garden of Eden restored, so that we can live
in peace and harmony and just love and so forth
on the other side of heaven or on the other
(39:56):
side of this life. I should say, why wouldn't he
Why wouldn't he want his wife to believe that? You know,
It's not like he's trying to convert a Red Sox
fan to be a Yankees fan. This isn't just a
matter of opinion. Do you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
This is something much, much, much profound, more profound. This
(40:17):
matters more candidly than anything else in all of creation.
My friends, what you do with this question, how you
answer this question about who God is, how you can
relate to him, what He's done for you and if
you're going to accept his free gift of salvation. Of
course he should want that for his wife. He wants
that as a believer, you should want that for anybody.
(40:39):
It's the Wolf of God for all people to come
to know him. I don't understand what the big fuss
is here, but I gotta go. Thanks for listening, folks,
SDG
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's Home, Poor, Conservative,
not Bitter Talk and education. Be advised. The content of
this program has been talking about it two prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. And now, coming to you from the
(00:29):
full suite Wealth Studios, here is your Conservative but not
Bitter host Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, my friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for joining us here on today's Toodcast. My pleasure,
my pleasure to be here today. I want to talk
about what do I want to talk about here. I
want to talk about the we're in the thirty fourth
day of the Schumer shutdown. I want to talk about, well,
(00:57):
just briefly, give you an update on that mention, what
I think needs to happen next with the filibuster. In fact,
there's some discussion here within the Republican Party about this.
Apparently there's some who are opposed to this surprise surprise
in the Republican Party because of the way it might
(01:20):
be abused by the Democrats. We'll go through that briefly.
I want to talk about snap reform. Snap reform, which
we'll get to. Brooke Rollins is out there USDA Secretary
talking about that this will lead into border security, because
Trump's out there talking about ice raids haven't gone far
(01:41):
enough border security. The number of known or suspected terrorists
stopped in twenty twenty five might boggle your mind. And
then in the next segment or at the end of
the program, I want to talk a little bit about
comments that jd Vance, our Vice president, made about his
wife Ushavance, and she well, his comments about her faith
(02:06):
or the faith that he hopes she one day chooses,
and it's amazing to me. It's amazing to me how
people distort, misrepresent, get angry about his comments when it's
actually the most wonderful thing a husband or a spouse
could wish for another spouse in this particular case. So anyway,
(02:28):
I want to get to that, and there's probably a
lot more that we'll get to as well. I've got
an announcement about a guest on tomorrow's program. Lots to
get to here today, my friends, and I'm glad to
be here with you. You know, one of the biggest
challenges that we as conservatives have is finding ways to
ensure our values align with everything we do. That includes
how we invest our money. That's why I love what
(02:50):
the team at four eight financial is doing. They specialize
in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies
that don't align with our faith and our values, so
we're not funding things that go against what we believe in.
Forget about what we believe in. What the scriptures teach
us is good and moral and righteous, it doesn't fund
(03:15):
It prevents us from funding those things. So they do
that heavy lifting for us. We don't have to do
the hours of research and all that. This can get complicated,
but they've got the tools and resources to figure that
out for us, helping make sure our investments align with
our purpose, goals, and beliefs. So you can take a
(03:36):
free assessment right now to see to what degree or
how your investments align with your values. All you have
to do is head on over to four eight financial
dot com slash todd again for eight financial dot com
slash todd for eight financial. Because our money should work
for our values. All right, Oh, let's get into it
(04:01):
here today, my friends. As I mentioned off the top,
we are in day number thirty four of the government
shut down. We know that snap benefits have been impacted
as of Saturday. This is again a strategy that the
left of the Democrat Party, the Senate Democrats in particular,
(04:23):
are employing. They believe. I've seen some polling. I've seen
some polling to actually say that they have some success.
They're getting some traction here blaming Republicans for this and
saying that the Republicans are what basically trying to starve
people and take away their health insurance and everything else,
when in reality that's a bunch of nonsense. We've gone
(04:43):
through this. I am tired of talking about this. To
be quite candid, I'm tired of talking about this. This
is such a cut and dry issue. I've lost interest.
We have to Here's where I stand on this. We
have communicated this. I've seen Speaker Johnson communicating this. I've
seen people from the White House communicating this. I've seen
(05:07):
Senator John Thune communicating this. I've seen people all over
the place communicating this. Democrats have shut down the government.
This is this is not complicated to understand. Yes, Republicans
have a majority in the House, the Senate, and of
course the White House, but they don't have a super majority.
I don't know how to make this any clearer. I'm
(05:28):
gonna say this louder for the people in the back.
I know the vast majority of you are catching on
have known this from the beginning. You're onto the Democrats'
tricks and how they try to engage in political theater
for political victories, even when it causes harm for people
that doesn't It doesn't need to be inflicted on the
people in this particular instance, but Democrats insist that it
(05:53):
does because it helps them politically, or they think it does.
At least that's what some polling maybe focus groups, is
determining for today's Democrat party. And so they're out there
telling the lie Republicans have the majority, why don't they
just pass it? Because it requires more than a majority
knuckleheads to pass something from the Senate because of the
(06:15):
filibuster rule. And I would tell them, you know what,
I think I would say this if I was Senator
John Thune. Of course, you got to get people like
Susan Collins and the others who are reluctant to change
the filibuster rule as it pertains to this government. To
government shutdowns in general, you can change the rule. I
went through how we could do this, maybe last week
(06:37):
or the week before, I'm not sure, but you can
change the rule. I went through the process. I'm not
going to go through the process. But basically what it
means is someone says this rule has been violated. The
parliamentarian is going to say, no, it isn't, and so
they're going to call for a point of order to say, well,
we want to amend the rules so that it does
(06:59):
prevent using the filibuster for this, and then that will
require a simple majority vote. I don't know why they
don't do this. Maybe they don't have the votes. I
think they don't want the political headlines with this. But
I would say, look, the Democrats have been telling you
out there for all these weeks now that we have
the political majority in both houses and that we should
(07:21):
you know, by not being able to reopen the government,
we are showing that we don't have the political will
or the ability to get our act together. We took
them at the word here, we followed their advice and
we decided, yeah, you know what, they're right, We should
simply say that the filibuster will not be used to
hold Americans hostage, to shut down this government, to engage
(07:44):
in political theater, not to encourage actual continuation of debate,
but to pull to cause things to grind to a
halt in our nation's capital. We have fallen victim. We
have fallen prey to the tactics and the way that
the left has been operating as a party, the Democrat
Party has been operating ever since Trump came along, for sure,
(08:07):
and this goes way back before Trump as well. But
we're gonna take them, We're gonna take their advice here,
and we're gonna say that's right, they're right. We should
just use our powers. This is constitutional powers here, we
can change the rules. This is completely this is they're
not debating ideas. They're not trying to continue debate on
(08:29):
an issue that the American people want to get to
the bottom of. This is about reopening the government. This
is about continuing spending exactly as it was on September thirtieth,
and then when the calendar flipped to October first, they
suddenly were against everything that was being done on September thirtieth.
This is Shenanigan's This is not serious. This is nerfball.
(08:52):
This ain't playing real you know politics, this is just
silly gamesmanship. They're right, we should use our majority power,
and that's what we're gonna do. That's what needs to
happen here. I don't know if it will. I don't
know if they can because I don't know if the
likes of Susan Collins and other Republicans like Lisa Murkowski.
(09:13):
Now I will say Fetterman's on board with this, Fetterman
will come over. Don't know what rand Paul will do
in this instance because he's not in favor of any
government spending. But on principle, I would think that you
wouldn't want the government shut down when you have a
majority of people who have a plan that will reopen it.
(09:34):
But again, we'll see. But that's to me, this is
what needs to happen. This is the tact in the
direction that it needs to go. Now, you know that
many many conversations have been had about SNAP reform, Snap
reform and USDA Secretary Brook Rollins. She was on an
interview recently, she was on maybe a couple of interviews,
(09:59):
and she says that SNAP benefits will be drastically reformed
after thousands of illegals have been removed from the program.
Now she has said, she has said that there have
been let me let me read the quote here. Well,
(10:19):
let me back up her. Here she is on Let's
just play the clip. She's on Fox and Front. Well,
she's on Fox, I should say, not not Fox and Friends.
She's on Fox talking about this very thing. She's talking
about Snap. She's talking about the people who receive money,
talking about SNAP in relationship to the government being shut
(10:42):
down and people losing these benefits in all of this.
And she's going to point out some things. She's going
to point out why it is, why it is that, Well,
just how many people are abusing the system? How about
that the people that are abusing the system some that
are of course American, but some of course are not American.
(11:03):
And it's remarkable to me the number of people who
don't just willingly don't believe that our system is being
well taken over, if you will, abused by people on
that are not even Americans. What is so hard to
(11:25):
believe about that today? What is so hard to believe
about that people that are here illegally are taking advantage
of the system. I know that people will say, well,
the law prevents this, and that the law prevents people
from coming into this country illegally. The law is already
there for that, But yet it hasn't prevented them from
(11:47):
being here illegally. So why would it prevent them? What
safeguards are in place to ensure that nobody is abusing
the system? Why is it? Why is that the case?
Tell me why? I mean, I've often said this about
people voting illegally. Why do people think that there's a line,
(12:10):
if you will, a border, a border that's guarded by polsters, right,
poll workers? On election day? We have we have people
who cross our southern border illegally, but yet they won't
cross the threshold of the border between the voting machine
(12:31):
and the general public. Why would they not do that?
What prevents them from doing that? Why are voting? Why
are elections more secure, at least in the past before
Trump took over. Why are elections more secure than our
southern border, especially when you don't have things like I
D and things along those lines. When you give when
(12:54):
you give illegal aliens a voter or excuse me be
a driver's license. I just none of this makes any sense, right, So,
of course there are people who find ways around the system.
This is not complicated. This is human nature. And she's
here saying the director of the USDA Secretary that seven
(13:19):
hundred thousand, seven hundred thousand illegal aliens have been or
are in the process of being removed from the system.
I'll let you listen to a little bit of this
conversation she has on Fox over the weekend. Again, this
is USDA Secretary, USDA Secretary here speaking with Fox News
(13:43):
about this, Brooke Rollins, and you can listen here to
what she has to say about this very issue. If
I can find the clip again, I scrolled up. Here
we go here she is getting some of these numbers.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Forty two million Americans are on SNAP. So that's one
in eight seventy three percent of SNAP households that are
at or below poverty level. Seventy nine percent of SNAP
households include children or seniors or disabled people, and the
average household benefit is about three hundred and thirty two dollars. Also, Brooke,
(14:18):
you've said this before, and I think it's really interesting
you said some of the silver lining as we're getting
to look a little bit behind the SNAP program. So
we know that twenty percent of illegals are on SNAP,
and that fifty nine percent of households headed by illegals
use SNAP or some other multiple welfare programs.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Talk to us about that as well. I'm gonna pause that.
Think about what she just said. Twenty percent of illegal aliens,
according to Brooke Rollins, are on SNAP. Fifty nine percent
of households that are the head of household being an
illegal alien are also on SNAP. That's what she's saying.
(15:00):
Now the Left is going to say, no, no, no,
that's illegal. We've got it written somewhere on a piece
of paper that says you can't have these benefits if
you are here illegally. Again, how many things. It's illegal
to have a driver's license, It's illegal to vote in elections.
Now you'll see some cities that say you can vote
(15:22):
in local elections, which is absolutely insane that you would
allow someone to vote in an election who's not here
and shouldn't even their opinions should not matter in the
election because they're not a citizen. I mean, is a
mind blowing to me to think how far the left
has gone down that path of absolute and utter insanity.
(15:42):
But there's a lot of things you shouldn't be able
to do if you're an illegal alien. If you're a terrorist,
by the way, you shouldn't be allowed to come across
our southern border. We know for a fact this happened
during the Biden administration. I've got the numbers on how
many suspected or even known terrors were stopped in twenty
twenty five by the Trump administration. I'll share that number
(16:05):
here in a bit. But there's lots of things you're
not supposed to be able to do as an illegal alien. However,
the reality is you absolutely can because this government, well
the previous government, the Biden administration in particular, let them
do whatever they can.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Make no mistake about this. This was an attempt. This
is an ongoing attempt of the left to secure a
voting base for winning elections. This was all about electoral politics.
The left is not some sympathetic group you may have seen.
I haven't. This is not in my stack of stuff
(16:44):
to talk about. But you may have seen. A group
of teachers over the weekend actually was on Halloween. Halloween
was Friday. A group of teachers posted a picture on
I believe it was the school's Facebook page. I could
be wrong, but it said what the T shirts say, OZ.
(17:06):
Look it up.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oz is a whisperer. I gotta take the headphones off
even to hear Oz. But there was a message. It
said something like mission accomplished or that's not it. Problem solved.
There you go. So there's a group of teachers that
look like they tied eyed shirts to where it looked
like half of it was was soaked in blood basically,
(17:31):
and then it said across the front, what was it?
Problem solved? Problem solved? Across the front centered chest, referencing
Charlie Kirk. There's like eight or nine teachers. Again, I
think it was on the school's Facebook page. I could
be mistaken, but these people were proud, proud out there.
You know, they're saying that they're sympathetic. They're sympathetic to
(17:55):
I guess people who are looking to, you know, make
a way in this world. But they'll celebrate the death
of a father and a husband and someone that many
young people looked up to and learned from. They'll celebrate that.
Don't take any lecture from these folks. These folks are
(18:17):
living in absolute depravity. It's absolutely wicked. These people are
not moral superstars or anything like that. In fact, if
you go around this planet, thinking that you are a
moral example to everyone else, I would suggest you really
reevaluate things because none of us, none of us should
(18:37):
think of ourselves that way. In fact, that's a quick way.
The Bible says pride comes before the fall. I would
caution anyone with that mindset to be very, very careful
in thinking you've got it figured out that you're the
moral example for the world to follow. We've already got
a moral example for the world to follow. And his
(18:58):
name was Jesus. Candidly, he doesn't need the rest of us.
He wants the rest of us to follow his teachings,
to be made in his likeness, but not to be
the example, but to be holy and set apart and
to be a reflection of him, to be more liking,
because that's in all of our best interest. But that's
another subject here. So getting back here to this conversation.
(19:22):
She's asking about all these people who are on snap
benefits and all this, and just listen to Brooke Rollin's
response here.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Well, a couple of things. There's been a lot of
miscommunication out there on the program. But the first this
is one of the first things we did when I
walked in the Day Day one of USDA February thirteenth,
is we sent letters to every governor in America being
very clear that no illegal aliens can use SNAP zero zero.
We asked every state for the first time in history,
(19:54):
and this was in February, to send us their data
and let us with DOGE and a war room, actually
start going through this data to better understand how this
explosion of SNAP benefits happened under Joe Biden. We increased
almost forty percent on this program in just a couple
of years under the Biden administration. Of course we know
they were trying to buy the election, but that's a
(20:15):
conversation for another time. And since we have asked for
that data, twenty nine states have complied. Complied, of course,
almost all the Red states, a couple of the you know,
the couple of Blue states too. But in that data,
and I haven't talked about this yet publicly, in that data,
we have found We've studied about one hundred billion dollars
in spend. We have found thousands and thousands of illegal
(20:40):
use of the EBT card. We have been moving people
off of SNAP. We've got almost seven hundred thousand people.
I think we've moved off. Just since the president took office,
we've arrested about one hundred and eighteen people, So this
has been ongoing. But Rachel, to your point, what this
conversation has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken
and corrupt program.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We found one guy.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
In six different states getting a benefit. We found about
five thousand people that are dead who are still getting benefits.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Like it is.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Time to drastically reform this program so that we can
make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable
are getting what they need and the rest of the
corruption goes away and we can serve the American taxpayer.
So we want to number one most important, get the
government open, make sure the people that really need this
money are going to get it. But guess what, there's
a new sheriff in town. His name is Donald Trump.
(21:32):
And this program will be reformed. We will hold people accountable,
and we will be able to help those who really
knew it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, and that's exactly what should happen. This is what
it sounds like when the adults are in the room
in control. No one's trying to take away. We can
have a discussion on these actual programs. What the requirements
are whether or not we have them, whether states run them,
whether heaven. It would be great if the the government
(22:01):
didn't have to do this, if there were other mechanisms
in place where the free market was solving some of
these problems. But let's just say that this program is
what we have to have. Why wouldn't you want it
cleaned up? Why wouldn't you want the people who should
not be on the program to be off the program? Now,
not all those folks are illegal aliens. Some of those
folks are Americans who are abusing this system and so forth.
(22:23):
That needs to be stopped, my friends. Also, what needs
to be stopped is this segment because I'm reaching the
end of our time together. Friends, let me remind you,
if you have a business, if you're in HR, if
you're in marketing, and you're looking to put your logo
on any item, Red White and Brand and a vision
of this program is here to help you. Program excuse me,

first order. Find out more at Red Whiteandbrand dot com.
That's Red whiteenbrand dot com. I have to take a
time out, my friends. You're listening here to conservative not
better talk. I'm your host, the one, the only, the
ever so beloved Todd Huff back your in just a minute.
Welcome back, my friends. There is a lot of confusion
(23:10):
out there about a product called Kreatum. You've probably heard
some of the headlines, and most of them are based
on synthetic junk and garbage that is not real Kreatim
at all. Real Kreatom is natural, tested, handled with care,
(23:32):
not mixed with other synthetic things, and that's exactly what
you get from Christopher's Organic Botanicals. They're a family run
company that partners directly with farmers in Indonesia. Every batch
is lab tested for purity. Every batch is tested to
make sure that it is safe. No chemicals, no fillers,
(23:52):
no shortcuts. This is a trusted herbal option. It's been
used for generations and it's a real alternative for people
looking for something that doesn't come with a warning label
some of these other medications that come with warning labels
that are a mile long. You can start with the
Kreatim Starter pack coupon code Todd Huff gets you ten
(24:14):
percent off your first order. I encourage you to research this.
I know, listen, I just told you there's a lot
of misinformation out there, and that's what Christophers wants as well.
Look into this to see if this if you have
a you know, if you're looking to get off of
some of these prescription medications for you know, different things.
That doesn't solve every problem. I'm not saying that, but
(24:35):
look into this research it, see if it's good for you,
See if you think it's a solution that's worth trying.
Just visit Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. That's Christopher's Organic
Botanicals dot com. True tradition transparency. All right, I want
to continue discussing guide of in the same the same
(24:55):
vein here. What we've been discussing so far. We've been
talking about the government shutdown. We'll be talking about SNAP
benefits that led us into the discussion about illegal aliens.
Although it's not all just listen, it's not just illegal
aliens who are abusing the SNAP program. It's all people
I get tired of saying. And I know the core
(25:16):
daily listener here, I know that you know this. But
for those who are tuning in, those who have listened
to the mainstream media, those who see the world through
a lens of race, and ethnicity and all these other
things instead of just the lens of humanity. We are
all human beings. We are all human beings created in
the image of God. We are all human beings who
have used our freedom of choice to make bad choices,
(25:39):
to do things that dare I say are evil. Now,
there's degrees of evil, I understand from especially from a
human perspective. It's much more evil to do what Adolf
Hitler did, or to do what the abortionists are doing
than to tell a white lie. I understand that. But
it's all degrees of evil. It's called sin in the Bible.
(26:02):
And it doesn't matter what It doesn't matter who you are,
what's your background. You could be a follower of Jesus,
or you could be the most hardcore atheist out there,
anything in between, any other religion or anything. And still
there's within every single group of people people who do
some really really atrocious things, really really atrocious things. So,
(26:25):
in other words, there are people who would take advantage
of advantage of snap benefits if given the opportunity, if
they are American or if they're illegal aliens. This should
not surprise anybody. I just it is. It is amazing
to me the number of people who would say things
like no, no, no. The you know, there's a piece of
(26:46):
paper out there that says illegal aliens can't be on
snap benefits. Well, there's lots of pieces of paper with
lots of things out there that say people shouldn't be
able to do X, Y and z, and people are
doing X, y and z all the time. I don't
how much is your head how much does your head
have to be buried into the sand to think that
there is a zero percent rate of crime for any
(27:13):
group of people or regarding any particular thing. There. Of course,
there are people that do everything. We have, what is it,
three hundred and thirty three hundred and forty million people
living in this country. Obviously, absolutely these folks people are
going to do things that shouldn't be done, things that
are even written on a piece of paper somewhere. It's
(27:33):
amazing to me how the left things you can just
put something down on a piece of paper. Reminds me
of these stupid nuclear deals we made with people like well,
nations like North Korea back in the day with Bill Clinton,
or like we made with Iran under President Obama's reign
as president. And they think well, they signed the paper,
(27:55):
they made a pinky promise. I guess we're not going
to have any nuclear weapon in Iran or North Korea.
What kind of level of ignorance and stupidity must one
have to come to that conclusion. Now there are illegal aliens, absolutely,
I have no doubt in my mind. I don't know
the numbers. I don't know she said seven hundred thousand.
(28:16):
I don't think she was saying seven hundred thousand illegal aliens,
though possibly it wasn't entirely clear. I think she was
saying they found seven hundred thousand people in total who
were abusing the system, who were trying to take advantage
of the system, who didn't qualify for the system, that
were getting advanced or getting beneficial. I should say, from snap,
(28:38):
some American, some illegal alien, listen the people who are
really The guy that's in six states that's making a
healthy living off of this, I think is worse. I
think it's worse than the guy who's here illegally trying
to feed his family. I also think that that's bad.
I don't think either one should be allowed to happen.
Both should be stopped. I mean, I don't underst stay
(29:00):
in what there's so much that I've heard people say
that statistically, illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes.
And I just think that that's insane based on what
based on data provided by states. By the way, did
you see when she or did you hear I should say,
she just said they've requested the governments requested this data
(29:22):
from the states. Twenty nine of them have given them
the data. Twenty one of them haven't. Or if you
prefer Obama's numbers of fifty seven states, I guess that
means what is that thirty or twenty nine states haven't
given them the data either way. Either way, my friends,
it's a lot of states haven't given them the data.
(29:43):
And why why not? What do they have to hide?
It's just it's truly maddening. So that's what she's out
there saying. The system is absolutely any system, any system
we have, is being corrupted or being abused by somebody. No,
this is this is beyond common sense. You put a
speed limit signed up. I saw in Indianapolis. There's the
(30:06):
highway that you know, most cities, big cities have an
interstate that kind of encircles the city, or many of
those do Indianapolis has what's called four sixty five. The
speed limit used to be fifty five, which was a
joke because if you ran fifty five out there, you'd
get mote over. They've raised the speed limit. I believe
the sixty five. Do you think do you think because
(30:27):
you put signs up every couple of miles or whatever
that says speed limit sixty five, do you think that
that ensures because it's written in the books, nobody should
go faster than that speed. Do you think anyone is
going faster than that? I mean, you know the answer
to this. I just, of course, if you open a
polling place on election day, there are going to be
(30:48):
people some percentage who try to vote who shouldn't vote.
We can argue about whether it's a small percentage or
a large percentage, whether other things are happening, But the
idea that someone would try to take advantage of the
system and use it to their benefit, of course, that
will happen. It's the case with anything. If you open
a grocery store, someone's going to try to steal from you.
(31:11):
This is not complicated stuff, my friends, not complicated stuff.
In the slightest I want to move on, though, because
I do want to talk about JD. Van is probably
going to be in the next segment, but I want
to tell you. I told you I would tell you
the number of known or suspected terrorists stopped this year.
This stuff, by the way, is all in our stack
(31:31):
of stuff at the website totefshow dot com if you
want to read this for yourself. I don't have a
lot of time to spend here because of the format
of the program. Headline here border Security six thousand, five
hundred twenty five known or suspected terrorists stopped. Federal agencies
report six thousand, five hundred and twenty five known or
(31:52):
suspected terrorists were prevented from INNY, prevented, by the way,
prevented from entering the US. This year, we are most
at the southern borders, spotlighting the national security stakes of
immigration policy. Six thousand, five hundred and twenty five known
or suspected terrorists were stopped. And then Trump's out there.
(32:15):
I don't have a lot of time. I just got
a minute here. I just want to mention this and
let you know that this is also in the stack
of stuff at the website if you want to see it.
It's at Brightbart if you'd rather try to dig it
up there, but we've got the direct link on our website.
Trump's on sixty minutes and he says, Look, he said
(32:36):
that ice raids haven't gone far enough. That's what Trump said.
I don't know if I can. Yeah, I think this
is it. Let me see if this is it. I
may have grabbed the wrong one here. Let's just see.
I've got just a little bit of time. I got
time to play this, so let's let her rip and
see what we got here. Make sure.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Recently Americans have been watching videos of ice tackling a
young motherer, gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood,
and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these
raids gone too far?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been
held back by the by the judges, by the liberal
judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
You're okay with those tactics.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, because you have to get the people out, Okay.
So that's that's a clip. That's a clip of the
of the full interview that they're teasing. But Trump's out
there saying, no, we haven't we haven't gone too far.
We haven't gone far enough. We've deported What is it?
I said this on the program the other day. I
think the target by the end of the year is
six hundred thousand deportations. It's five hundred thousand something as
(33:43):
of right now, but six hundred thousand physical deportations is
the goal by the end of the year. There's been
one point I forget the number. It's somewhere around when
you factor in self deport I gotta get a look
at the clock. Quick time out, my friends, back in
just a minute. All right, my friends, I got a lot.
(34:05):
I gotta get to. First thing I gotta tell you
is I was starting to say the number of people
that have been deported self deported is one point six million.
I had to jump off. I glanced at the clock.
I thought I had more time than I did. One
point six million self deportations this year. The goal of
six hundred thousand physical deportations this year. So there's going
(34:28):
to be somewhere in the neighborhood of two point two
to maybe two point five that may be stretching it,
depending upon how many other self deportations happen between now
and the end of the year, so two point two
maybe slightly higher up to maybe as a reach two
point five million. Trump says we need to do more
and listen, there's a lot of Americans who would agree
(34:50):
with those sentiments. I don't have time to talk about
that because I've got two other things that i want
to get to first. My friends, have you ever noticed
how some families seem to have plan that lasts for generations?
It's not by accident. Full Sweet Wealth works with people
who want their wealth to make a difference for years
to come. Their team brings together high level investment strategies
(35:11):
like private equity, private credit, and options strategies with expert
legal guidance. It's about making sure your vision becomes a
reality for the people you love today and for them tomorrow.
As wealth, you're looking to do more than dis manage
your money. If you want to leave a mark and
(35:31):
build something lasting, take a look at full Sweet Wealth.
Jason and his team will take good care of you.
They've got a ton of services that will help in
ways that I think before you look into this, it's
you can't even imagine. So full sweetwealth dot com. Build
your legacy, secure your future. Okay, two other things. First,
(35:56):
I want to tell you tomorrow, just a real quick
announce I mentioned this in the newsletter last week, and
by the way, I would welcome your questions. I'm inviting
onto the well. A lot of Democrats won't come on
this program. They prefer to make bold, bodacious claims on
X and so forth, rather than actually be questioned about them.
So they don't want to come on this program and
(36:18):
have a real conversation. If you know someone that is
a dinner I welcome them. Look, we can be friends
so much as it's up to me. I've learned that
it's not all up to me. But I welcome you
on this program if you have something of value to
say and it interests me. We've invited bo Bye, who's
a third generation You might know the name by if
(36:38):
you're a Hoosier. His grandfather was governor, his dad was
senator and governor. Bobie is running for a Secretary of
State here. He's going to be coming on the program
talking about redistracting, talking about just politics in general. I'm
going to ask him about the Democrat Party. They've always
positioned themselves. The Bye family has his moderates. I don't
know how you can be a moderate in today's Democrat party.
(37:02):
But I'll let him tell you how he can. Wilson,
you can decide what you think. But that's the direction
we're going in that conversation tomorrow. So I'll want to
make sure that you let me know, and if you
have questions you would like me to ask him, email them,
send in my way Todd at toddefshow dot com, or
if you get the newsletter, just reply with your thoughts,
which you already could have could have done. All right?
(37:24):
Is that everything? I think? It is the last thing
I want to get to here, and I don't have
nearly as much time as i'd hoped. Headline here the Guardian.
You'll find this in a lot of places. Jd Vance
Repeat's comments he wants his wife Usha to convert to Christianity.
Now there's a lot of outrage about this, a lot
of people that are saying this is intolerant. This is
(37:45):
what I guess. He's racist against his own wife, or
he's just not in favor of her cultural beliefs and
so forth. Let me tell you, let's break this down again.
I wish I had more time to talk about this,
but the claim made by Christianity. The claims made by
all religions are truth claims. So a lot of people
(38:06):
want you to believe and this is a superficial in
I would say, an either insincere or very ignorant assessment
of what you could call religion to be. Religion is
the foundation of our worldview, I mean, and how we
see the origins of how we got here on this planet.
(38:31):
The way we answer the why why am I here?
What am I supposed to be doing? What's my purpose?
All that kind of stuff. The way that we answer
those questions are incredibly important. What happens to us after
we pass away and leave this planet is that it
are there more things to come? What have you? A
(38:52):
lot of people, what have you believe? Religion is just
a set of fanciful stories to make people feel better
and to help them hope with difficulties. I'm not saying
that there's no person that looks at it that way
and tries to comfort himself or herself with these stories.
But I am saying that they're making a truth claim.
And JD. Vance as a follower of Christ, let's let's
(39:13):
take the names out of it, because some of you
can't stomach to even consider that JD. Vance might be
a Christian. But so just whoever, you know, pick whatever
person you want, whoever that person is, who makes a
profession of faith in Christ. What they are acknowledging is
that Jesus was sent by the One True God, the
(39:33):
creator of this universe, as a way to be reconciled
with him, so that we could live eternally with him
in heaven, being made in his image, being basically having
the garden of Eden restored, so that we can live
in peace and harmony and just love and so forth
on the other side of heaven or on the other
(39:56):
side of this life. I should say, why wouldn't he
Why wouldn't he want his wife to believe that? You know,
It's not like he's trying to convert a Red Sox
fan to be a Yankees fan. This isn't just a
matter of opinion. Do you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
This is something much, much, much profound, more profound. This
(40:17):
matters more candidly than anything else in all of creation.
My friends, what you do with this question, how you
answer this question about who God is, how you can
relate to him, what He's done for you and if
you're going to accept his free gift of salvation. Of
course he should want that for his wife. He wants
that as a believer, you should want that for anybody.
(40:39):
It's the Wolf of God for all people to come
to know him. I don't understand what the big fuss
is here, but I gotta go. Thanks for listening, folks,

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