The Stack: Trump Calls to End the Filibuster to Reopen Government
President Trump has had enough. He’s calling for Senate Republicans to pull the plug on the filibuster and reopen the government, now in its 31st day of the Schumer shutdown. Democrats have turned the filibuster from a procedural tool into a weapon — blocking a clean continuing resolution and holding the country hostage to score political points. The irony, of course, is that they claim to be fighting for the people while refusing to pay the very people they say they represent.
That hypocrisy was on full display when CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Rep. Hakeem Jeffries if he’d give up his paycheck while federal workers go without. His non-answer said it all. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson cut through the noise, pointing out that Democrats knew full well what this shutdown would do — from missed paychecks to delayed flights — and did it anyway to appease their far-left base. Even the media is starting to catch on that this time, the blame game isn’t working.
Now, with the Pentagon quietly ordering National Guard units to prep quick reaction forces as SNAP benefits expire, it’s clear the stakes are higher than ever. Democrats are gambling that turmoil will help them in the midterms, but Americans are seeing through the act. Trump’s call to end the filibuster, at least for keeping the government open, could be the moment that ends the theater and exposes who’s really fighting for the people — and who’s just fighting for power.

📝 Transcript: Trump Calls to End the Filibuster to Reopen Government
The Todd Huff Show – October 31, 2025
Host: Todd Huff
Todd Huff: My friends. How does it feel to be light years ahead of everyone else out there? Because you listen to this program. Each and every day. You are welcome. I tell you what, it's good, good stuff. I'm kidding. But just a little bit.
Todd Huff: My friends, I want to talk today. Want to talk today about Trump now calling for the Senate to end the filibuster. To end the filibuster so that. This nation, this government, I should say, will reopen as we're now on the 31st. Day. Of the Schumer shutdown, the Democrats shutting down the government, prepared to hurt people. However, they can.
Todd Huff: They do not care. They do not care if your holiday travel plans are thwarted. They don't care if your paychecks aren't coming in, they're going. To take their paychecks, by the way. You see, the journalists are actually people that have been make believe journalists for a long time are now. Actually. May. Know, obviously expectations here, but they're asking about these things I sold Caitlin COLlInS from CNN.
Todd Huff: Asking Kakeem Jeffries if he was going to take. A check his paycheck. The answer should have been unequivocally no by the way, you shouldn't be paying yourselves. Shouldn't be paying yourselves if you're not going to let other people get their paychecks anyway.
Todd Huff: Trump is calling for. This end of the filibuster. I want to talk about that. Talk a little bit about. Speaker Mike Johnson was out there kind of framing what's been going on. He's right, by the way. Stylistically, I want to be careful here. I think that there's some good things about Speaker Johnson, but stylistically, I don't know that he can communicate. Some of these things.
Todd Huff: To some of the audience, some of the folks out there that need to hear it. Anyway. But that's out there. He's saying the things that are true and accurate. And properly explaining what's going on. We've got the Pentagon ordering. national guards from around the country to be prepared well actually to form what's called a qrf a quick reaction force.
Todd Huff: They've directed every state's national guard to do this because of Well to be prepared for domestic disturbances, which, of course, could erupt tomorrow. With the ending of the snap benefits. That's in the stack of stuff today as well. DHS reports. An 8000%, 8000% surge. In death threats against ice.
Todd Huff: Where do you think this is coming from, by the way? This something they're going to blame on Trump and conservatives as well. I'm sure they will, because they're going to start from the position that these folks are justifowel that they need to be. Harmed because. They're enforcing the law, which is a wild, wild thing to say.
Todd Huff: In a country of law and order anyway. Jake Tapper also predicts that Gen Z is going to be becoming more conservative than previous generations. That's actually the subject of the Todd talk. I did that because I don't think I'll get to that, but you. Never know. Might get to that as well. That's where we're headed today, my friends.
Todd Huff: Might, of course, as usual. Take. Little minor detours along the route, depending upon. Where the conversation leads us. And so that's what we're doing, and it's. Good to be here with you today, my friends. Let me ask you a question here off the top. Would you rather take two soft gels a day or spend hours. In a doctor's office talking about your cholesterol.
Todd Huff: Listen, I'm not against. Doctors offices. I'm even friends with my doctor. Don't tell him that. He'll. Get the big head, but. I know what I would prefer to choose, and that's why. I take salty. It's an all natural, clinically proven dietary supplement that lowers cholesterol.
Todd Huff: No prescriptions, no doctors visits. It's not even a drug, my friends. It's all natural. All you have to do is take two soft gels a day. I take mine in the midday after lunch. That's all it takes to take care of your health. We need you. Listen, your family needs you. Your business needs you.
Todd Huff: Your employer needs you. Your community needs you. Your family, of course, needs you. Your church needs you, but we need you healthy as well. To push this country in the right direction, folks. We have a lot of momentum, but we need healthy, strong patriots. Salty can help you stay healthy. And strong. Go to salty. S o l t e a promo code. Todd will get you 50%. Off your first order and get your free shipping on top of that.
Todd Huff: Soulty.com. s o l t e. A promo code tot. All right, let's. Start here today. Let's start here today by talking about Trump calling for the Senate to scrap at CNPC. Here has set in its title to scrap the filibuster.
Todd Huff: Rule republican us president donald trump. Every time I read words like that in an article or hear those words uttered by someone on the left. It makes me wonder how difficult that is to say that they thought back in 2020. They were never going to have to write those words again.
Todd Huff: They thought back in. 20 22 23 that Trump was going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit. Not to be confused with Hillary Clinton's orange pantsuit circa 2016. But that's what they thought they thought, this guy's going to be in prison. We've got them right where they want him. We got them right where we want them.
Todd Huff: We've got. The weaponization of the Department of Justice. We've got Merrick Garland here. We've got the full arsenal of radical leftists prepared to do whatever it takes to silence Trump. They failed. They failed miserably. They lost the election bigly in 2024. And we are now reaping the results of that.
Todd Huff: So he, the president called yesterday. For the removal of the Senate's filibuster rule to bypass a democratic roadblock. During the government shutdown. Now, this was written yesterday. In its 30th day. Of course, now we're on the 31st day. On this day of Halloween. Whatever you think about that.
Todd Huff: We're on 31st day. Okay, so the filibuster, it says, is the Senate. Rule for agreement by 60 of its 100 members to pass most. That's not right. That's not what the filibusters. That's. How it's used in practice.
Todd Huff: The filibuster is a rule that says three fifths of the Senate must vote. To end debate on an issue, thereby calling it. Through a final vote. It's not required to pass the legislation. Again, it isn't purpose. Or I guess it is in.
Todd Huff: Function and in practice, I should say, but. There's nothing there that says that three fifths of senators must pass a bill. Three? Fifths of senators must vote to agree to end debate on a bill so that it can then be voted on in a simple majority. Would vote for that anyway. They do get it right here. They say Republicans hold a 53 47.
Todd Huff: Majority in the Senate and a 219 213 majority in the House. Of representatives. What? They didn't quite connect? There. I don't know if leftists and liberals are reading this publication. Take it easy. I'm just playing a little bit. But there is some truth here. I'm not. Sure how many democrats?
Todd Huff: How about this? Well, how many Democrats are leftists or liberals connected? That Republicans have 53 Senate seats. And the Senate rule of the filibuster requires 60 votes. To actually get something done. So that should tell an average person, a person of reasonable intelligence, that you need Democrats to join.
Todd Huff: The Republicans in the Senate. I've said this. I try to think of different ways to say this to people because. This is a fact. They're being lied to by Democrat senators. They're being lied to by members of Congress in the Democrat party.
Todd Huff: But if you listen to them talk long enough, you'll hear them say I almost pulled the sound bite of Jasmine Crockett saying something to the effect. Of Republicans, because of the Senate. Filibuster rule. Need to sit down. And negotiate with Democrats. And so by saying that, she's acknowledging that it's not simply up to the Republicans to end the government shutdown.
Todd Huff: It is remarkable to me, and I'll go this far to say this. I was thinking about this earlier today. For those who think that. This shutdown is the fault of Republicans. You're either willfully ignorant. You're either deliberately trying to. Misunderstand things or you generally. Don't understand the process which I'm here to help.
Todd Huff: I'm here to. Explain this every way that I know. This is the way. In fact, if you watch, even there are now many media sources out there. That typically. I mean, they're leftist and Democrat. Talking point. Generation machines. They're part of the PR movement of the Democrat party.
Todd Huff: That's how these folks are typically. Engaging in politics. At CNN and MSNBC and so forth. But there have been more and more journalists at some of these, well, networks or. Cable news networks who have come out and basically said, this is on the Democrats. Look, you may have valid concerns about other things that need to be negotiated.
Todd Huff: But everything that we have, the way that we, the media, would say the way the media has always covered the government shutdown is that they say if. You are. For a continuing resolution that is clean, which basically means. Status quo spending remains the same. Nothing new is added, nothing is taken out.
Todd Huff: If you vote for that, you have voted to keep the government open. If you vote against that, you have voted to shut down the government, and that's how they assign blame. This is how they've done this for as long as. This shutdown drama has been a thing. In modern. America, and they are correct.
Todd Huff: Even the people on the left in the media are saying, Democrats, you are lying to your constituents. It's almost like they're saying you better be careful. Here because. You are going to create a scenario. Whereby. You're going to alienate your voters, whereby? You are going to potentially cause a worse political situation for yourselves.
Todd Huff: Now, if you want to dig deep in the weeds, which I'm not going to do just yet. Maybe if this continues. We'll look further into this. I don't know, but there are some people out. There that say that this is actually.
Todd Huff: About insurance company. Insurance companies, the people that they have given the most money to. And there may be truth in this. In fact, there's probably a degree of truth in this. They have given lots of money to many of these Democrats, which, again, shockingly given, well, it's not. That was meant to be hyperbole and exaggeration. It's obvious that the Democrat party, even though they tried to position themselves.
Todd Huff: As the party of the people, the party of the working class. These are elitists who manipulate people. Oftentimes in the so called I don't think about people in classes, but the so called working class voter. I don't like that. But that's how they do. It, and they take money from their wealthy liberal and leftist.
Todd Huff: Corporations. Billionaires and millionaires and all this stuff. And they keep people. Lie that we're here to protect you, when in reality, they're here to protect. The interests of. Their cronies. In the corporate world. They're donors. And this happens on the republican side, too. But I'm saying in this case.
Todd Huff: If you follow the money and the concern about the subsidies maybe not making their way into. A negotiated. Bill here. Once we get the government reopened, that this is why they're trying to stand. On this Hill? I don't know. I'll let you decide if you think that's. Part of it or not.
Todd Huff: I think part of it is the Democrats are desperate. They're looking for something that they can do. To create discord and disharmony in this great nation, because when they're not in power. What they seek is for there to be unrest. I'm telling you. I don't want to say this, I really don't, but I believe that.
Todd Huff: They actually want to see what could happen tomorrow. What's being threatened on social media, which we talked about briefly yesterday, which is the potential of people who. Are receiving snap benefits to loot and to riot and so forth. I think they want this. I know. That. I think that you know this.
Todd Huff: I think that many people who don't pay close attention. Think that that sounds crazy, and I'm trying to speak to them in a way. That they might understand, but I think that there are people in Congress who are actually rooting for this, not because. For any other reason other than it will help them.
Todd Huff: They think politically, and I just think that the jig is up here. I do. I think that the american people are more aware of these tactics and techniques than ever before. The political theater has lost. Its effectiveness in a lot of ways. Not completely. There's still a group of mind numb robots out there.
Todd Huff: That are ready to press or. Pull the lever for Democrats no matter what happens. Or candidly, even people that are going to do that for Republicans, no matter what happens, I guess. But the reality is this is the Democrats shutdown. And Donald Trump is right when he says here, which I said in the past couple of weeks.
Todd Huff: Trump said this yesterday. On social media. It is now time for the Republicans to play their, quote, all caps. By the way, Trump card, which I like, and go for what is called the nuclear option. Get rid of the filibuster and get rid of it now. All caps. Now that is something we had.
Todd Huff: Talked about here in a previous. Episode. It's probably come up a couple of times. So if you're on the website, and you want to hear more about that? I'm not going to go into the details of that. Just on today's program because we literally just did this probably last week.
Todd Huff: If you go through the stack. You'll see. A title or two regarding the filibuster, and we'll go into that in more detail. But suffice it to say suffice it to say that if the filibuster rule. Rule 22, I think in the Senate.
Todd Huff: I went through the process of how that could be done in the US Senate. And long story short. The Senate can change its own rules. This is not something that is written into the constitution. This is a senate rule. This is something that has been done historically. This is a tradition. This is to really, it's designed to encourage debates without debate getting shut off and things forced upon.
Todd Huff: Thrust upon the american people. But it's now being used as a tool to, well, to cause harm for Americans that's what the Democrats are doing with this. And I think that Republicans should think very, very seriously. About. Getting rid of the filibuster. You can carve out exceptions. You can say that.
Todd Huff: It cannot be used. In a situation where the government is being shut down, where a vote for a clean, continuing resolution. Is on the floor. You can say that the filibuster can't be used. For that. There are other carve outs. For what? The filibuster cannot be used. For.
Todd Huff: That's what Republican, that's what Trump is calling for. That's what Republicans should talk about, and I think probably do, because. This again. It's going to demonstrate once they do that. If they do that.
Todd Huff: If they eliminate the filibuster for this specific purpose, not get rid of it for everything else. But if you get rid of that for this particular purpose, it's going to show it's. Going to demonstrate immediately to the world. Of course, a lot of people will never even acknowledge this because they'll move on to the next thing to be enraged about, which is the fact that the Republicans actually use their political power.
Todd Huff: To reopen the government and to stop the Democrats from holding the american people hostage. And taking away their paychecks and so forth, as they're still getting paid by the way. If Republicans do this, it's going to demonstrate that the filibuster was the problem because they're going to pass this bill, probably be joined by a couple of Democrats.
Todd Huff: By the way, Federman, who is a Democrat, Senator John Federman, who is on the republican side on this. He's actually one who was calling for this. When he said this in an interview a week or two ago, that's when I talked. About it on this program. And I said Republicans should look very seriously into doing this.
Todd Huff: I may have even said they should do it because this is a very reasonable step to take. Democrats are being. They're not acting in good faith. This is one. Hundred percent designed to cause harm and hurt on the very Americans that they're telling at the podium on the Senate floor that they're there to help.
Todd Huff: They're telling these people. I'm here to help you. I'm trying to keep your government open. I'm trying to keep your benefits coming in, whatever else. But the problem is. That. Is a complete lie. They're not for them. They're for political. Victories. Therefore, trying to find an advantage, they are trying to get into the midterms.
Todd Huff: Hoping they can regain control of the House of Representatives for two reasons. Number one, to stop Trump's agenda number two, to turn the House of Representatives into an instrument where they can once again weaponize the government against President Trump, and you can be prepared for all sorts of investigations.
Todd Huff: All sorts. Of. Well, impeachment proceedings, possibly. Any of those things, of course, are possible. And I would say likely if Democrats win Congress, that's going to put a wrench in the gears for Trump's final two years in office. And so they are grasping at straws here to find a way to get some traction heading into the midterms.
Todd Huff: If they can cause social unrest if they can give their base some red me. Meat. If they can blame Trump for causing real harm and havoc on the average American out there. Who is unable to get a government paycheck or. Who is losing access to benefits or just simply trying to travel to visit family during Thanksgiving and the airports be an absolute debacle because of this shutdown.
Todd Huff: That's what they want. The best thing. Think about this. For Democrats to get an advantage, they need your world. They need the world of enough people to be tossed into turmoil that they cause. That they cause, that is. A prerequisite for what? Democrat success in the midterms.
Todd Huff: Is requiring they have acknowledged it by their behavior here. My friends. And I've got more to say about this. But before I do, my friends, let's be honest. When.

As I look ahead here that we're going to stop, actually, I'm going to stop talking about Trump's call for the filibuster. I laid that out pretty. Clearly. I do in the next segment, want to talk a little bit about Democrats still taking paychecks. During the shutdown.
Todd Huff: I might play a little bit of the clip of Hakeem. Jeffries speaking. With caitlin collins of cnn about that. I also may play a little bit of. Speaker Mike Johnson's framing of this shutdown. And then, time permitting, in the final segment, we'll talk about the Pentagon ordering national guards to form.
Todd Huff: A quick reaction forces because of this chaos, because of the Bedlam being caused, or I guess created by those on the left. My friends. I have to take a break, though, up against the timeout. You're listening? Here to conservative, not bitter, talk. I'm your host, Todd huff. Back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends.
Todd Huff: So I told you during the break. We were going to have. A well, move on here. Headline here redstate.com hypocritical dims are. I cut the top light off. Hakeem Jeffries shows how hypocritical. Dimzard gets nailed over his paycheck. During the shutdown. I'll play that here, my friends.
Todd Huff: Momentarily. An un memento. Porter fabour. There's a lot of confusion out there, my friends. About Kratom. You've probably heard the headlines, and most of them are based on. Synthetic junk. That is not real kratom at all. Real kratom? My friends, listen. I encourage you to do your own research. Real kratom. Is. Natural, tested and handled with care.
Todd Huff: It's not mixed with. Other items that make it dangerous. And so it's been used for centuries, and I encourage you to research it. In fact, Christopher's organic botanicals every Thursday evening at 07:00 p.m. They have. A talk about this. They have a webinar where you can ask questions and learn more. About it.
Todd Huff: They partner directly with farmers in Indonesia. Every batch is lab tested for purity and safety. They don't use chemicals or fillers. They don't take shortcuts. Again, this is a trusted herbal option that's been used for generations, and it's a real alternative. For people looking for something that. Does not come with a warning label.
Todd Huff: A mile long. That doesn't mean that you don't need to research it. Stay. On top of it. But it does mean that it is a real alternative. And if you're getting the real stuff instead of. These chemical mixtures. That is a big deal. A big difference. So you can start with their kratom starter.

My friend. Okay, let's move on here. I told you we were going to play a sound bite. So hakeem Jeffries was on a couple of days ago. With cnn's caitlin collins.
Todd Huff: And she asks him, I mean, These are actually good questions. I don't know where this is from. The make believe journalist. Crowd in most other situations, but they, at least in this particular issue, Have realized they're going to at least ask legitimate questions, and I give her credit for this. I think in many instances she's done a terrible job.
Todd Huff: I think in many instances, Caitlin Collins. Is pushing the talking points. And the perspective of the left. That's what I think here, that these are fair and good questions that need to be asked. Of all members. All members, especially those who are preventing people from getting paid.
Todd Huff: But the bottom line is. If. You're in government right now if you're a legislator. You are responsible. Now, listen, I understand the fault lies with the Democrats, but Republicans could do exactly what we talked about in the last segment and do away with the filibuster rule.
Todd Huff: At least as it pertains to closing down the government, having it shut down or refusing to vote on a clean, a truly clean cr, there's a. Way to do that. I think that needs to be pursued. Trump is calling for that openly now. As well. And so because of that, you can say that's where the blame you can say at that point. Everyone deserves blame, at least in the Senate. I don't know what the House can do.
Todd Huff: The House is already past this. The house was already past this. So to keep Jeffries. There's nothing he can personally do to stop this, because he's. Not in the Senate, but he's out there trying to rally support to keep the government shut down. That's what he's trying to do. Now you can say. He's trying to negotiate. Okay, fine.
Todd Huff: You can say he's trying to negotiate, but. We are 31 days into this. No one said there wouldn't be any negotiations. After the government was reopened, they simply said, we're not going to shut down the government. To engage in. these well engage in these sorts of negotiations at that time that being said Here's Caitlin Collins actually being a journalist here.
Todd Huff: With Hakeem Jeffries, who's the minority leader in the House of Representatives.
Kaitlan Collins: You. Are asked today if you will defer your paycheck during the shutdown. Obviously a lot of federal workers TSA agents are going without paychecks. Have you made a decision? On that yet, sir.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: I'll be commenting on that shortly. But understand the sacrifice that people are making, including Capitol police officers. Here and I'm going to stuck myself accordingly, given that sacrifice.
Kaitlan Collins: So that sounds like a yes. That you will defer your paycheck.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: Wow. I have more to say about that. Shortly, but I think consistent with the values that I just articulated.
Todd Huff: Yeah. Okay. I don't. Know that that sounds like a yes or not, but you figured. If the answer is yes, you would just say yes. But these are fair questions. Some people have. Put their paychecks on hold. Some people have said we're not going to. Be paying ourselves if we're not paying the people who are in our government who we're not allowing to get paid because we will not go along with something that we had. Voted for.
Todd Huff: The same in many cases. A lot of these Democrats had already voted for this stuff in the past. Why can't they vote for it now? They want there to be hurt. That's what they want. And that's what Mike Johnson's out there saying he took to the podium yesterday. Actually, this might have been.
Todd Huff: Well, it was either yesterday morning or Wednesday evening. But this is what Mike speaker, Mike Johnson had to say. This is a longer clip. I might just play a little bit of it, but it gets a lot of this, right? He's framing this correctly as to what the problem is in Washington.
Speaker Mike Johnson: I want to quote to you a couple of senators over there in the Democrat side listen to this nonsense. Senator Mark Warner. The senior senator from Virginia. And this is noteworthy because Virginia is the state with the largest number of federal employees. He claims that federal workers want him to vote against reopening the government. He literally said, quote, I think they want us to fight this.
Speaker Mike Johnson: Fight. What? Mark, what are you talking about? We have a queen cr. This is not a partisan. Dispute. It's ridiculous. Senator Tim Kane is the junior senator from the same state of Virginia. With the largest number of federal employees. And he said, quote, I work very closely with them and the afge would not want us to cut a deal.
Speaker Mike Johnson: What the heck are you talking about? Senator, there is no deal here. We're not talking. About a deal. We're talking about a clean Cr that all of you voted for, even. As recently as this year. Here's my favorite one. This is the best quote when asked about the AFge statement from the big union.
Speaker Mike Johnson: Senator Janine Shaheen said, quote, I had a conversation with the president of AFge earlier. Right after the shutdown. And that was their position then. So let me just translate for you. Senator Shaheen spoke with the head of the largest federal employee labor union. The president of that union explained to her the harmful effects of a shutdown.
Speaker Mike Johnson: And then Senator Shaheen went out and voted to close the government anyway and continue to do that more than a dozen additional times. Senate Democrats knew the pain this would cause. They knew about the missed paychecks. They knew the uncertainty of making rent for so many people. They knew about the missed meals.
Speaker Mike Johnson: They knew about delayed flights. They knew that our nuclear arsenal in our national defense. Will be negatively affected by this. And they did not care. They shut the government down anyway to appease the far left voices of their base, and the Democrats have soul searching to do are they going to continue to do that?
Speaker Mike Johnson: Are they going to run from the far left and do their bidding? Or are they going to do right by millions of federal workers in the american people? Who continue to. Show up to work daily without pay. Are they going to do right and reopen the government? So that those people are taken care of instead of the marxist far left base in their party.
Speaker Mike Johnson: That is the question, and we pray that Senate Democrats come to their senses before the situation becomes too dire.
Todd Huff: Yeah, and we're at the doorstep of that, by the way. He's talking about? The largest federal workers union, the AFGE. He referenced that a few times. These are the folks who have basically been saying, we're hurting. We need the government reopened. Democrats aren't afraid to say that. But the Democrats are then saying it's not. Open because of Republicans.
Todd Huff: What Mike Johnson just did here, for those of you I was talking about, Gen Z and today's Todd talk. Gen Z, this is for you. If Mike Johnson is up here spitting facts. He's telling the truth, my friends. He's framing this properly. And the radical left, the Democrat Party. They're looking for a political winner. That's what they're looking for.
Todd Huff: And the political winner, unfortunately means that Americans have to suffer because that's what it takes for people to change enough votes. Well, to change their votes from voting for Republicans to Democrats. As if they can somehow create a. Scenario where there's a lot of harm in this country. Inflicted upon people based upon votes by Democrats.
Todd Huff: But then they somehow, with their accomplices in the media, who, by the way, at this point in time are not on their side, their accomplices in the media. Are actually asking them tough questions. They're not colluding and cooperating with the Democrats, they are actually asking them tough questions.
Todd Huff: So this entire. Strategy is about to come unraveled, and I hope it does. I hope it does. I hope they suffer massive defeats in the mid. They should. They should suffer massive defeat. So they want to shut down the government. They want to cause harm for average Americans as much as possible. They want to get turmoil in the streets.
Todd Huff: They want to get. The Pentagon to maybe say, let's deploy these QRF forces to say Trump has caused chaos and tumult in our nation's capital. Of course, blaming Trump for that when in reality, they're the ones that are feeding this narrative and feeding this junk. That's their strategy. That's their hope.
Todd Huff: And we can't fall for it. My friends. You're too smart for that, I hope. That there are enough other people out there that see through this garbage as well, but I've got to take a break, quick. Time out, my friends. Back in just a minute.
Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. Third and final segment of today, last segment of the week, last segment of the month. My friends, I understand it's a tough time for many of you knowing that. You're not going to hear this program until Monday. But take heart, my friends. You can listen to archives of this program anytime, anything.
Todd Huff: You might have missed. At toddhubshow.com. you can also sign up to receive our free email newsletter in which we have some, a little bit of behind the scenes stuff. Sometimes we get more into things that we didn't get into here on the program. Sometimes we make announcements. I've got one that we're going to announce here.
Todd Huff: To the inner circle. That's our newsletter, my friends. If you want to get those in. Advance sign up for free@toddhuffshow.com. But I know it's the last. I got a few more things I want to get. To here, my friends, before we wrap up for. The week. Let's talk about something that's important. My friends. Your money.
Todd Huff: You worked. Hard for it. But is it working hard for you and what you believe in? At four eight financial they specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies that do not align with your faith and your values, and they'll help create a plan.
Todd Huff: That fits your goals and purpose. The best part is that they'll take the time to show you if and how or to what degree your current. Investments stack up against. Your values? Are they in alignment with your values? Are they standing against your values? Are you promoting unknowingly wokeness through the investments that you make, which is something that you're. Fighting against here.
Todd Huff: In the conservative movement. You can take an assessment to find out. All you have to do is go to four. Eightfinancial.com Todd 40 Eightfinancial.com Todd 48 financial, helping you align your money. With your mission? A couple of things I want to get to. Number one, the Pentagon. Has ordered National Guard in each state to create, quote, QRF forces trained.
Todd Huff: In civil unrest. This is the article here I'm looking at is from the AP, but you'll find this reported in lots of places. Military leaders have ordered the National Guard in every state to develop a quick reaction force. That's a QRF of troops trained to deal with civil disturbances and riots. That can be ready to deploy within just hours.
Todd Huff: Notice the latest indication of longer term Trump administration plans to more readily dispatch. Soldiers. This says. To the straits. Well, why would they have to do that? That's the first question. Why? Because of what we talked about in the previous. Segment, the left is trying to stir up as much of this as they can.
Todd Huff: They've cut off. They've shut down the government. They are about to cut off the payment of. Well, some people aren't getting checks. Some in the government. Some government services are being disrupted. Airports have experienced delays. We're heading into the busiest travel season of the year with thanksgiving just, what, four weeks away? Three weeks away, whatever it is.
Todd Huff: And so. They are basically setting us up for this. And of course, as I've stated clearly, multiple times they then want to point the finger at Trump and the Republicans that say you're the ones that's in charge of government. Look at what you did. Why couldn't you fix this? Why couldn't you have prevented this?
Todd Huff: They also know by taking away snap benefits, they know this. There are people on social media I talked about this yesterday. Who? Have been threatening to riot and loot. Out there saying they're going to walk into Walmart or wherever and take whatever they want because they feel entitled to do so. We've created this monster. By the way, my friends.
Todd Huff: You don't have to oppose every single. Federal program, although maybe you do, to understand that. You can see the risk associated with creating a mindset of entitlement that someone else out there is responsible for providing for me and my family.
Todd Huff: We all may need help from time to time. But. To say that you're entitled to it, but to say that the american people are having to foot the bill, but to say that regardless of your role, in whatever circumstances you may find yourself, which. May be sometimes circumstances. Are beyond our control. Sometimes bad things happen to people.
Todd Huff: Sometimes we make idiotic choices. It's usually a mixture, right? Nobody's perfect. It's usually a mixture. I remember when I was in Washington, DC, one of our pastors. He had been homeless for, I believe, three years. And I remember watching him. We would go and feed the homeless at Lafayette park, directly across from the White House, which was an interesting scene to just juxtapose those two worlds.
Todd Huff: But I remember he would stand up and give a very short sermon, and he would say, anybody can end up out here. If you lose a job, if you're in an area where you don't have many family or friends. You haven't built up a big enough nest egg. Whatever. Maybe you've had a huge medical expense. Or you can't work. Whatever the case. May be.
Todd Huff: He would say this could happen to anybody, but nobody should be out here for years. That's. What he said. Nobody should be out here for years. There are ways to get back on. Your feet. And if you don't have that component of this, You end up creating people who believe that they're entitled.
Todd Huff: So the left knows this, the Democrat party knows this, and I think that they are hoping for this unrest. I also want to mention in the time I have available. DHS has reported. An 8000% increase in death threats. Against. Ice officers this is@newsmax.com it is in the stack of, the stack of stuff if you want to read it.
Todd Huff: I don't really have time to get into it. But who caused this? Who is causing this? Who are the ones responsible for this, is it not? The people on the I'm not blaming every rank and filed Democrat. I am blaming the people. In Washington, DC. The people with the platforms, the people with the podiums, the language, the talk.
Todd Huff: About Trump being a Nazi. They've encouraged these mayors and governors around the country have told people that fighting against ice is effectively becoming a patriot in 2025. But anyway, folks, I got to go. SDG.
