The content of this program has been 3 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.720 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:33.479 to the right. Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Todd Huff, 5 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.399 Conservative not Bitter. Indeed, my friends, you have tuned into America's son 6 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:45.520 for conservative not bitter talk. It's my pleasure to be here today. You 7 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.280 know a couple of things I want to get today. I want to talk 8 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:54.759 a little bit about this mccarth excuse me, the Matt Gates motion to vacate 9 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.200 the chair. I want to talk a bit about that. I also want 10 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:06.599 to talk a bit about the southern border. My friends. We've actually border 11 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.519 security has won the political debate. We've actually won on this issue. Now, 12 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:17.000 I know we haven't won in reality. I just mean that this is 13 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:25.000 too much for even anyone on the left to basically defend any longer. People 14 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.319 want a secure boarder. This is something that we can actually agree on. 15 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:37.120 It's just that there's games being played for a couple of different reasons, or 16 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.560 a couple of potential potentially different reasons anyway, we'll get to that in due 17 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.000 course. If you want to be part of the conversation, you can email 18 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:51.079 Todd at todd huff Show dot com. You can also text three one seven 19 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.640 two one zero two eight three zero. Just make sure you include the appropriate 20 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.159 amounts of adoration and praise, which candidly is pretty high. It is pretty 21 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:07.079 high. So let's talk about this motion to vacate. So there is a 22 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:14.080 battle that has been brewing in the Republican Party for some time. There is 23 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.319 a battle, by the way, that is brewing within the Democrat Party. 24 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.199 And these battles are by and large the same, it's just on different ends 25 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.360 of the political spectrum. And the Republican Party, the battle is between what 26 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.080 we would call, I suppose the establishment Republicans, maybe the moderate Republicans, 27 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:43.400 maybe the rhino Republicans, versus the conservative or limited government types or more libertarian 28 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:50.039 types of Conservatives or more libertarian types of Republicans, I should say, in 29 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.639 the Republican Party. And on the left, on the Democrat side, the 30 00:02:54.719 --> 00:03:00.800 battle is between the radical left and again the degree that moderate I would say, 31 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.840 the liberal Democrats. There's not there's not many sitting moderate Democrats in Washington. 32 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.599 In fact, I don't know if there's any right now. A lot 33 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.199 of those folks were pushed out of office, the moderate Democrats, the blue 34 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.840 dog Democrats, the Reagan Democrats. Those folks were pushed out of office. 35 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.360 A lot of them were pushed out during the Obamacare vote. I know several 36 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.680 of them felt the impact here in the state of Indiana and elsewhere across the 37 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:37.680 country. And there was this basically, the blue dog Democrat who is insistent 38 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.159 that here she has a home of the Democrat party is candidly way wrong. 39 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.199 They have so much more in common with people like me and you than they're 40 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.520 ever gonna have in common with these radical leftists. But anyway, so both 41 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.719 parties have within themselves this battle for control. Again. This is the left 42 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.280 versus the liberals. And let me talk about that for a minute. Some 43 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:08.039 people use those terms interchangeably, and those are not interchangeable. Terms in my 44 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.680 world are the way that I intend them to be to be used. So 45 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.319 let's start with what a liberal is. You know, a classical liberal, 46 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.800 if you go back and understand terminology, a classical liberal is actually what a 47 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.160 conservative is today. And that's not what we mean today when we use the 48 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:32.040 word liberal, but a classical liberal is what you would call someone who's a 49 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:41.800 limited government, freedom loving conservative libertarian type today. So, but that word 50 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:50.839 had morphed into being in common American political vernacular to mean those who want to 51 00:04:50.879 --> 00:05:00.279 be liberal with I guess the types of social programs and s services and so 52 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:08.199 forth that are provided by our government, and so liberal in the I guess 53 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:15.240 in the sense that there would be you know, when given the choice between 54 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.839 having potentially too little or too much, then let's give liberally, as I 55 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:26.079 bump the mic here liberally, or give more than maybe we should. Let's 56 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.199 always err on the side of more. And this, of course, is 57 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:35.160 where the term bleeding heart liberal originated, which means if you never have any 58 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.560 desire to say no to any problem because you care so much, or the 59 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:46.319 virtue signaling is the temptation, I guess to virtue signal is there to where 60 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.639 you want to show the world I care so much that I want to spend 61 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:57.000 someone else's hard earned tax dollars on this particular issue or problem or whatever. 62 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.319 Then that's where the term came from. And so but a liberal is not 63 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:11.839 necessary, I would say, a liberal doesn't A liberal doesn't hate this country. 64 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.120 They they want to push it to the max. As far as what 65 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.480 the government should be doing. They actually want to blast way past the line. 66 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.040 They've never seen a problem that the government can't solve. I think that 67 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:28.879 they have a problem with understanding the proper role and function of government, the 68 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:35.399 proper role of what an individual should be responsible for versus what society is responsible 69 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.399 for, and so forth. A liberal always tends to excuse the behavior of 70 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.759 the individual, blaming society, therefore saying that we have to somehow make amends, 71 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:53.199 pay more money, provide more services because they care the problem needs to 72 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.160 be fixed, and so forth, and it's the job of the government to 73 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:02.600 do that. But they don't hate America as founded. They do again push 74 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.759 it to its limits. They push it past its limits. They talk about 75 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.879 the Constitution being a living, breathing document. I don't want to give them 76 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.959 a pass and to say that there's no danger in the things that they teach 77 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:21.680 or anything like that or believe. I just want to they don't openly hate 78 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:28.480 this country, at least as I define and use these terms. However, 79 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.519 so that's group one. So they still they don't. They don't. They 80 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.519 might think that workers aren't being paid enough, or they might be thinking that 81 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:43.160 the wealthy needs to be punished, but they're not prepared to drive a well, 82 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.120 the death knell into capitalism. They don't hate this country. There's things 83 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.959 about it that they're embarrassed about. There's problems there, but they haven't crossed 84 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:57.959 the line into radically wanting to transform this place into something different. That, 85 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.079 my friends, is what the left is. The left, the radical left. 86 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.920 These are people that hate the United States of America. These are people 87 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:13.639 who seek to break the system so as to remake America into something that is 88 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.160 more palatable for their preferences, ideally something that's socialistic. Dare I even say 89 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.240 communistic. They believe the government should have ultimate say. They don't like the 90 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:33.039 concept of limited or actually, excuse me, I should say enumerated you know 91 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.679 rights that we have. They don't. They don't. They won't openly come 92 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.919 out and say this, but they think instead of what we have. When 93 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.840 you look at the Bill of Rights, for example, when you look and 94 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.000 you see that the Bill of Rights are a list of inherent freedoms that we 95 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.679 have been given by our creator. That the writers of the Constitution actually took 96 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.440 a moment to just define some of those. They want to say that people 97 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:05.840 should have that government has responsibilities back to the citizens, or that the citizens 98 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.559 of a country are entitled to other things that cost other taxpayers money. This 99 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.919 is why they talk in terms of democracy and not an individual liberty and freedom 100 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.799 or a constitutional republic. They don't want to talk about the right. They 101 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:30.039 talk about minorities and minority rights and how minorities they would argue being targeted by 102 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:37.279 systemic racism or anything else. But they're talking about a group of minorities because 103 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:43.080 again they're trying to put together a majority by assimilating or I should say, 104 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:50.679 not assembling, I should say groups of minorities that actually in total surpass some 105 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:58.039 other it become the majority basically, and so and so this is this is 106 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.759 You won't hear them talking about the of the true minority, which is the 107 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.279 individual. You won't hear them talking about those things. They use these things. 108 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.799 They weaponize language, they weaponize thought, they weaponize the government. They 109 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:20.320 are completely content with using any means at their disposal to cause havoc and chaos 110 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.360 within our system. Because a broken system requires something to replace it. A 111 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:31.600 broken system requires the quote unquote experts, right, the self appointed experts to 112 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.039 come in and to provide solutions on how to deal with something that's broken. 113 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.159 And they want to position themselves as the experts and low and behold, what 114 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.600 do the experts always tell us? The experts always tell us that what is 115 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.960 required to fix a problem is more government, less liberty, more tax dollars, 116 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.120 more control for them. And that's the direction that they want to go. 117 00:10:54.200 --> 00:11:00.600 So that's a fight between those two factions in the Democrat Party today. 118 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.639 Now I'm happy to tell you, I'm happy to tell you that we have 119 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.159 that that is the fringe minority. But but as you've heard me talk about 120 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:20.200 here before, those folks in the radical left actually hold the levers of power 121 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.879 in the seven pillars of propaganda. This is where things like well the government, 122 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.559 for example, if you look at some of the people, look at 123 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.639 some of the people in the FBI, right, I mean, these are 124 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.240 people who have either become well, as the term goes, useful idiots or 125 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.279 people who are bought into the notion that we need to push this thing, 126 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.759 this system, to the point where it breaks, just as I said previously, 127 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:54.200 so that they can present something as a solution that's different, different from 128 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.279 what we have in our founding and more in line with what a tyrant would 129 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:05.440 want. Or they're ideologically they're either a useful idiot or they're an ideologue who 130 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.440 is pushing for that to be the end result. And you can see, 131 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.320 you can see with some of the people just in the FBI who I mean, 132 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.519 their behavior is on stage for anybody to see who wants to see it, 133 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.120 from James Comey to Peter Struck to fill in the blank. I mean, 134 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.240 you can go to James Clapp or I know it D and I. 135 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.039 There's plenty of people to list, but there's a whole bunch of people, 136 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:35.039 even in the bureaucratic state, that are nameless, faceless individuals who are pushing 137 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:41.000 for this thing constantly. So they have control in government, in the bureaucratic 138 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.799 state, they have control in media. This is where people like George Soros 139 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.200 and George Soros a son is at Alex. I think it's Alex Soros coming 140 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:56.879 into the picture, buying media outlets, buying I think they've bought a ton 141 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.120 of radio stations and so forth. And of course the intent is to control 142 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:09.759 what's in the media narrative, to control what people are hearing to set a 143 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.639 priority on which bits of information the American people need to hear about. And 144 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.159 so you can go on down the list from media and government to Hollywood to 145 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:28.360 all the other seven pillars of propaganda, and the left controls it so that 146 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.840 big Tech right, they control those platforms, they control those different pillars, 147 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.039 if you will, and they make it appear like there's a lot more than 148 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.200 than there really are. So that's going to be relevant in our conversation when 149 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.200 we talk about the border. In a moment, we'll put that aside for 150 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.519 a minute, and well, I've got to take a break. But there's 151 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.600 a similar problem or fight happening in the Republican Party as well, and that 152 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.080 fight has led to the ouster or the potential auster, the attempt at ouster 153 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.799 of Speaker McCarthy, and I want to paint the picture as to what's going 154 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.559 on there as well. I think if we understand these things, we'll have 155 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:13.159 a clearer picture of what's really going on and really, more importantly, how 156 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.720 to fix those things. So time out is in order. My friends, 157 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.759 you are listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, 158 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.159 Todd Huff. We'll pick it up right where we left uf on the other 159 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:41.360 side of the break back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. 160 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.159 So let's pick up where we left off. Let's talk about let's talk 161 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:52.600 about the battle for control of the Republican Party, and let's talk about what 162 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.240 that means and how that is manifesting itself. Of course it could be there's 163 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.519 more to this, but how it could be manifesting itself in this battle to 164 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:07.720 remove Speaker McCarthy as Speaker of the House. So, just as there is 165 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.919 a battle for control of the Democrat Party, there is control for the battle 166 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.279 for control the Republican Party. And you have the rhino types. You have 167 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:26.320 the country club republican types, establishment republican types, even liberal Republican types. 168 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.600 And then you have those who are more conservative libertarian who want to actually see 169 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:39.840 the government govern as it was intended well as it was intended to do right. 170 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.480 And so this is where you have a fight, if you will, 171 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:52.879 over say spending. You know, the conservative types, the limited government types, 172 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.399 the libertarian types say this is way out of control. Whatever we are 173 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.519 dealing with, whatever the short term pain is of a shutdown, whatever that 174 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:08.039 might be, that is simply a microcosm of what tiny, tiny, insignificant 175 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:18.000 microcosm in comparison to where this spending is taking us in down the road. 176 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.000 Right, this so whatever short term pain we have to endure now is worth 177 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:27.759 it, because the problems created by a government that's spending out of control is 178 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:36.559 going. I mean, we're talking about massive, major, life altering sorts 179 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.759 of scenarios, right, We're talking about the collapse potentially of the dollar down 180 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:47.240 the road, or the collapse of just our system of government. Again, 181 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.720 I'm not saying these are right on the doorstep, but the signs are all 182 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:56.679 there, right, the problems. It's like, it's the way I think 183 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:03.000 about it is, if you're let's just say you're pre diabetic, and you 184 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.079 look at all of the you know, the warning signs and so forth, 185 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.920 You've got a choice to make. You can either take the steps that are 186 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:19.799 necessary to stop or to get out of that pre diabetic range, find a 187 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:26.960 healthier weight lifestyle, a one C level or whatever. Right, that's option 188 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.119 number one. Now that's gonna that's has some short term pain, right, 189 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:36.519 there's some short term pain involved with taking those steps. Maybe it's dietary changes, 190 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.119 maybe it's exercising, maybe it's any number of things, but there is 191 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.880 some short term pain. But what do you avoid? You avoid in the 192 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.480 worst case, And I mean it's some really bad things can come from diabetes. 193 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.640 And I'm not saying it can't be managed or anything, but you know, 194 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.119 I'm just painting the picture of to try to give you an analogy as 195 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.000 to what's really going on here. So there might be some pain and discomfort 196 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.640 and things we don't like in the short term to get healthier to avoid the 197 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:10.640 prediabetic stage. But if you take full blown, unchecked diabetes to its extreme, 198 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.400 I mean people have had to have limbs, you know, parts of 199 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.519 their body amputated, and you can get into massive problems with I mean, 200 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.960 you can be on dialysis and any any number of things. Vision. There's 201 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:34.000 all sorts of symptoms that that can come, some massive health problems and things 202 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.880 that really take away the quality of life or even even can end to life. 203 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.039 And so when you look at that, that's what we're looking at as 204 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.960 I see it. When we look at the financial fight that we have today, 205 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.920 are we going to take the necessary steps to get back into shape? 206 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.119 And by the way, we're way overweight metaphorically speaking. Here It's not like 207 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:00.920 we got to lose five pounds. I mean, we gotta be on we 208 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.480 gotta be on the version of America's Biggest Loser, that's all. That's what 209 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.079 we've got to be on. We've got to be on some extreme diet. 210 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:14.839 We're gonna have to have a team of dietitians, a team of trainers. 211 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.720 We're gonna have to have weightlifting put into the routine. We're gonna have to 212 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:23.880 probably start training for triathlons, gonna probably have to have people like David Goggins 213 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.720 on site screaming at us to get I mean, this is serious work, 214 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.519 right. I'm not just saying we have to lose five pounds for the class 215 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.480 reunion or some such thing. I'm saying we've got to get back into shape. 216 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.759 And it's gonna it's gonna hurt, it's gonna suck, candidly. But 217 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:47.240 the alternative, the alternative is disastrous. The alternative could lead to I mean 218 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.920 some of those examples I mentioned earlier up to an including death metaphorically here right, 219 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.440 when we look at the the economy, and so that's what this fights 220 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:03.279 about. When you so you have the people who want to see government restored 221 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:11.279 to its original intent. You're going to see people who are you know, 222 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.880 want wants to move away from massive debt and deficit spending. In the fiscal 223 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.960 year that just ended in two thousand twenty three, fiscal year twenty twenty three, 224 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.880 we were a trillion dollars in the red for that year's income and expenses. 225 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:32.279 If you look at it that way, revenue tax, tax revenues versus 226 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:37.720 money going out. It's projected that in fiscal year twenty twenty four, which 227 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.240 has just gotten underway here for a couple of days, it's projected that we're 228 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.759 going to be twice that in the red. Two trillion dollars in the red, 229 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.440 and trillion has what twelve zeros behind it. That's a big number. 230 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.160 I've said on here before. I think we need to change the words million, 231 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:59.400 billion, and trillion to make them sound like or look like when you 232 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.079 write them out so drastically different from one another, because they're multiple, they're 233 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:08.079 multiples of a thousand of each other. A thousand millions is a billion, 234 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:15.880 a thousand millions is a thousand billions is a trillion, A million millions is 235 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:22.279 a trillion. Thing about that So anyway, anyway, so this is the 236 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.960 fight within the Republican Party. You've got a group of Republicans who are a 237 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:33.519 little bit more measured than the Democrats are as far as spending goes. But 238 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:40.880 they're really not super interested in that, you know, stopping the direction that 239 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:47.160 we're on. They're more about managing managing the disease right, managing the diabetes 240 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.839 that they've assumed that we are going to metaphorically get here, and so they're 241 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.960 fine with that. They're fine with that. This would be people, by 242 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.839 the way, like Mitch McConnell, like Mitt Romney who's not running for re 243 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:07.599 election, like Todd Young, like Lisa Murkowski, like Susan Collins, and 244 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.359 those were all all that I mentioned. There were sinners, But like Kevin 245 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.119 McCarthy too, he's in the House, and so in the House there's a 246 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:21.680 more of a divide there is. There are actually quite a few or a 247 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.079 decent amount of people who say that they're conservative. They want to see this 248 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.039 country get back on the right track financially, fiscally, constitutionally, all this 249 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.559 stuff, and but the problem is there's still not enough. There's still not 250 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.400 enough. And so if you go back to January when we were when they 251 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.319 were fighting over who the speaker was going to be. They tried to set 252 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:51.160 up rules to accommodate for that. They tried to set up rules that would 253 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:59.359 kind of in a way box McCarthy inn so that he had to at least 254 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:06.400 be willing to work with, meet with, negotiate with, try to find 255 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.599 solutions, you know, include that these conservative limited government types in the discussion. 256 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.680 And so they they set up some rules that they thought would help that. 257 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.400 And you know, to a certain amount or to a certain extent, 258 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:23.559 I think that that's probably happened. But it's of course not who Kevin McCarthy 259 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:29.279 is. And when push comes to shove, when push comes to shove, 260 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.279 when McCarthy's feeling the heat, when McCarthy's feeling the heat for telling the American 261 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.920 people and when it comes to these government shutdowns, we gotta go on a 262 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.759 diet, we gotta start working out. And Americans say, I don't want 263 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.279 to go on a diet. I like sitting on my couch, I like 264 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.480 eating bomb bonds. I don't care that I'm pre diabetic. Right, that's 265 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:53.839 down, that's tomorrow's problem, that's not today's problem. So as McCarthy feels 266 00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.440 the heat, from that, he thinks, man, what the heck, 267 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.440 guys, You guys can make that argument all you want, But I'm just 268 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.000 I'm not built for that. I'm not. McCarthy would say, I'm not. 269 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.240 I just don't believe it, or I don't care enough about it. 270 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.119 It's easier to capitulate and to give in, right. The heat is too 271 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:21.799 much for me to bear. And so that's what's happening, and Matt Gates 272 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.519 being one of these look and I don't want to get into the personality stuff 273 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.920 up because there's a whole there's a whole nother route you can go with that. 274 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.559 McCarthy's out there saying this is personal between he and Matt Gates. Matt 275 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.400 Gates doesn't personally like him. He wants to personally remove him as speaker. 276 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.440 He never was on board with Speaker McCarthy, and fairness, I was never 277 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.000 completely on board with Speaker McCarthy. You can go back as well. Many 278 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.599 of you were not completely on board with Speaker McCarthy. And by the way, 279 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.920 by the way, I don't look at it that way. I look 280 00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.079 is Speaker McCarthy fully on board with the ideas and the things that need to 281 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.920 be done. That are constitutionally sounded and in the best interests of the United 282 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:10.359 States of America and the taxpayer, the American citizen. So I'm not for 283 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:15.279 or against the guy. I'm for the people who want to advance the cause 284 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:22.359 of liberty, advance a return to the constitution, advance policies and spending to 285 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:29.519 the point that it actually lives in reality. And that's not what we're having 286 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.799 right now. And that's not McCarthy's fault, because he is coming from a 287 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.880 position of reason and logic. But he's not prepared to die on that metaphorical 288 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:45.319 hill because because it's just too easy. There's still not enough political pressure. 289 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:49.640 I guess internally, there's not enough Republicans in that House that are going to 290 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:55.720 demand that this is what we do, or there's not enough people in that 291 00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:03.599 Republican House to actually say we are going to effectively force the issue here, 292 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.400 We're going to force the fact that we're going to go on a diet and 293 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:15.880 start working out and not continue blind laid down this path into oblivion. There's 294 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.000 not enough, and so Gates is basically calling McCarthy's bluff to a point, 295 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:30.079 I guess are basically calling him out for his lack of falling on the side 296 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.559 of this debate, the side this side of this battle for control of the 297 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:42.079 Republican Party, because McCarthy has chosen the elitist side, the country club or 298 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:48.480 side, the rhino side, the liberal Republican side. Matt Gates says, 299 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.000 that's fine. If that's the side you've chosen, then you've you've crossed a 300 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.359 line with being able to work with us on this side. So I want 301 00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.160 a new speaker. Now there's certainly the personal aspect and all those other things 302 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:03.559 as well, but that being said, that's what's going on in the House, 303 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:10.119 and so Matt Gates is called for is going to be He's made made 304 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.640 the motion known that he's going to try to vacate the chair and we'll see 305 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.720 what happens, because now we could go back through the entire thing that we 306 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.920 had back earlier this year where we were determining who the speaker would be, 307 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.920 though McCarthy may certainly have the votes and we not get to that point. 308 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.039 But that's what Gates is trying to do. Like him, love him, 309 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.680 hate him. I'm just trying to paint the picture of what's going on, 310 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:41.759 and it all stems from these ideas and these beliefs that are at war or 311 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.200 at odds with each other within the Republican Party and also within the Democrat Party. 312 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.559 And I'm going to pause because the next what's remaining of the show, 313 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:56.720 I want to talk about how the Democrat ideological differences within their party is manifesting 314 00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:02.519 itself on another issue. It's just interesting and I think it's helpful to understand. 315 00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:07.039 It makes it easier to converse and so forth, and to just have 316 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.680 a I guess, an understanding of what's really going on. So that being 317 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.119 said, I'm a little bit long to segment. Quick time out. You're 318 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:17.359 listening here, my friends, to conservative not better talk back here in just 319 00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:37.240 a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So let's talk a little bit 320 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.279 about what I want to spend the rest of the program talking about, which 321 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:48.680 is this issue of illegal illegal immigration. I mentioned off the top that we 322 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:53.200 have reached a point in this country where the open border policies that we have, 323 00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.160 and make no mistake, we have open border policies, and make no 324 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:03.559 mistake here as well, the administration is actively ignoring the laws on the books, 325 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:10.680 issuing their own memos and rules and interpretations and rationale and so forth as 326 00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:17.240 to why they can just arbitrarily refuse to enforce border law. That's what's going 327 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.920 on. It's not because suddenly there's no laws about who can come across the 328 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.599 border. This is what the left wants you to think about. This is 329 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.279 what the media what you to think is happening. It's not the case. 330 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:32.160 It's not the case at all. It's gotten so bad, in fact, 331 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.759 that governors and mayors across this city, this country, and blue states and 332 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:45.839 blue cities, they've actually been complaining Governor Hocal, state of New York complaining 333 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.880 saying that we need limits on immigration. Now, wait a minute, we 334 00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:56.400 do have We do have these sorts of things. We have a legal process. 335 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:03.599 The problem is you can't limit how do I say this, You can't 336 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:10.000 limit. Okay, you have an open border, so we have limits on 337 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.160 how many people are coming in the process the country legally, that's not the 338 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.559 issue here. We have a problem with people who are coming across the border 339 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.640 illegally or who are working the system so as to take advantage of it. 340 00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:27.160 And again, I understand why people want to be here. I've said this, 341 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:33.000 I'm incredibly consistent on this. I think the left is very inconsistent. 342 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.680 The way they talk about this country, the way that they describe it as 343 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:42.799 absolutely being horrendous. I don't know why in their worldview there shouldn't be one 344 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:45.960 single person coming to the border. In fact, they should all be fleeing 345 00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.720 south or north. They should be getting out of here as quickly as possible. 346 00:30:52.799 --> 00:31:02.759 If they were consistent and actually acted consistently in regards to what how they 347 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.279 talk about their country, they would be fleeing. There would be a mass 348 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:11.519 exodus of people from this country. If they're the way that they paint this 349 00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:15.240 country is actually accurate, people would not want to be fleeing to come here. 350 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.319 But people do want to come here. I understand why they want to 351 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.680 come here. This is still the greatest country on earth. This is still 352 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.480 the land of the freed, and there are tremendous opportunities here, right, 353 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:33.440 I understand that. But we are breaking the system. We are being completely 354 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:44.079 haphazard with the system. We are having no regard whatsoever for the system, 355 00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:49.279 and so and so it's gotten so bad again that these governors and mayors are 356 00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.880 actually saying, hey, we've got to have something here. Well, you 357 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:59.039 can't limit something that you're not trying to enforce at all. You can't limit 358 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.440 people crossing the border illegally if you say we have an open border. And 359 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.960 that's what's happening. And so it's gotten so bad that they have to, 360 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.359 of course acknowledge even the Democrats are having to acknowledge this. I think, 361 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.839 folks, we've clearly won on this issue, and I know we haven't won 362 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:21.039 in reality, because again, the seven pillars are propaganda. The people that 363 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.400 are in our government, the people that are in the wine house, people 364 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:32.039 that are in the media are pushing things that either our lies and misconceptions, 365 00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:39.440 or they are outright using their power to continue to metaphorically flip the bird of 366 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.400 the American people and say this is what we're going to continue to do while 367 00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.519 they take the podium, and of course they tell us something else. They 368 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.720 blame Trump, they blame something else, or they say that they can't do 369 00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.680 anything about it, while want Republicans come in and work with us on how 370 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:58.319 to fix this. None of that's true. There are laws on the books 371 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:05.079 that the Biden administration is outright refusing to enforce. This is what's happening. 372 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:10.559 And so this stems from you begin to see a divine. Now you begin 373 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.680 to see the radicals who are in control, who are content with allowing these 374 00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.440 things to happen, because again, what is the intent of the radical the 375 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.519 radical left. Their intention is to break this country so that it has to 376 00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:30.000 be fixed. And when it's fixed, quote unquote fixed, it will be 377 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:36.400 fixed to be more socialistic, more communistic, whatever, more tyrannical, more 378 00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.839 big government. It's not going to be less government. It's not going to 379 00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:44.480 be more liberty or less taxes. It's going to be more control for them, 380 00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:49.480 less freedom for you. And they are trying to deliberately break this because 381 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.720 they don't like this country's That is a factor for the d that is the 382 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:59.319 driver for the radical left. There are papers and things on this stuff. 383 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:06.119 Read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. That's a book. There's another paper that 384 00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.159 I can tell you about after. I just got to take a time out 385 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.639 here. But this is what's going on, and it's manifesting itself with the 386 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:15.920 Democrat Party. You've got Clinton out there saying and even Bill Clinton, former 387 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:22.000 president right of the United States, out there saying that this is unsustainable. 388 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:30.639 You've got Democrats like again Hocol, You've got mayor Adams in New York City 389 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.199 saying the same thing. You've got people all over the Karen Bass Los Angeles 390 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.280 all saying the same thing. This is unsustainable, and it's even so bad 391 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:45.280 that it's forcing some of the leftists with political power who have to get reelected. 392 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.800 Some of these folks are leftist. Karen Bass is a leftist, but 393 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.119 it's gotten so bad that she needs her position, and the will of the 394 00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.920 people is not for open borders, so she's got to make it look like 395 00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:59.320 we got to fix something, and that's what she's saying. And so the 396 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:07.079 point is these battles within the parties, they are creating problems that we're dealing 397 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:12.840 with in real time. And you factor in the deceit and the lies and 398 00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:17.800 all that stuff that happens in politics and through the seven pillars of propaganda and 399 00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.159 deceits, and you can see we have a massive problem. Meanwhile, the 400 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.800 rest of us, normal Americans with brains and sins, are saying, why 401 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:31.280 don't we secure the border, Why don't we secure the border, Why don't 402 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:36.000 we actually do something to stop this? We can't. We might disagree with 403 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.119 how many people should be allowed to come in legally, but there is no 404 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:46.480 one outside of a radical leftist who's either completely insane or who wants to break 405 00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:52.840 our system. Nobody wants to have purely open borders. Given the setup that 406 00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:59.800 we have that we have today, given the realities that we have today, 407 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.840 in a bit of a nanny state, and so forth, it's just unsustainable. 408 00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.800 You cannot sustain this. It will be broken, which is what they 409 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:14.280 want, so they can replace it with something that is more closely aligned with 410 00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:17.599 their broken worldview and ideology. Quick time out, my friends back here in 411 00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:35.360 just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. By the way, here 412 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.760 we are heading Well, we're in the fourth quarter. I've been saying heading 413 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:44.840 into the fourth quarter for so long that I've forgotten that we have actually arrived 414 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.880 here. We are in October. We are in the fourth quarter. And 415 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:54.039 you may be you may be in a position to where you are evaluating your 416 00:36:54.280 --> 00:37:01.280 health insurance needs. Whether those health insurance needs are as an individual, maybe 417 00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:07.519 you are responsible for a group health plan at your office, maybe it's your 418 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:13.480 company, Maybe it's your responsibility at someone else's company, but that's something that's 419 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:19.519 on your radar. I did see that health insurance premiums are set to expand 420 00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:23.360 or increase I should say the most. I believe they said the most that 421 00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:28.119 they've increased in the past decade. I think I saw five to eight percent 422 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.840 on average. Is the increase in premiums that we are about to see heading 423 00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:38.199 into twenty twenty four. So it's a good time just to see what's going 424 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:43.480 on. And so let me recommend if that describes the world that you live 425 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.760 in, If you think maybe you're paying too much for insurance, or you 426 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:49.760 just want to see what else is out there, you want to make sure 427 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:54.880 that you get a comprehensior review of what is available to you today, then 428 00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:01.320 I encourage you to reach out to my friend Eric Wilson at I Sell Health. 429 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:07.079 I Sell Health has been helping clients in this country throughout the country since 430 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:13.920 two thousand and four.
