I mean, it's kind of a big, 28 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.080 a big issue. Our pastor invited me to speak with him during our service 29 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.960 on this past weekend, and I'm just talking with you about some of those 30 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.759 things, and I'll share maybe some of the feedback and questions and sort of 31 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:16.080 thing that I got after after doing this and actually preparing for this. Preparing 32 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:25.280 for this has gotten me, has reminded me, has I guess reinforced me 33 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.719 the understanding of the next steps that we have here on this program. Now, 34 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:38.840 as you know, this program is well what we do here at the 35 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.879 Todd Huff Show that this program is central to it. We also write a 36 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.280 column. By the way, you can get that column. It's totally free 37 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.919 weekly column that goes out wednesdays of each week Toddhofshow dot com slash column. 38 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.360 Just sign up with your email address and you'll actually be put into a monthly 39 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.759 drawing to get some free stuff here from the show if you were a subscriber 40 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.800 to that conservative not bitter column. But the program is core to what we 41 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:16.000 do here. We produce a two hour program each weekday and the that's this 42 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.480 is where we cover the most I don't know, cover the things that are 43 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.079 happening in pop culture, happening in the political narrative. We discuss them. 44 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.439 It's the core of what we do. But there's some other things that as 45 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.759 we grow that I've always wanted to do more of We've done some of these 46 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.800 things, but I want to do more. One of those is actually speak 47 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.160 kind of like what we did this weekend, but this, you know, 48 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.240 doing this this past weekend has helped me kind of realize the sorts of things 49 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:55.120 that I would do if I spoke more often at churches and colleges and venues 50 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.519 and that sort of thing, which we do a little bit of. I 51 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.480 want to do more as we have the availa ability. So that's that's a 52 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:08.759 good thing. It's also reinforcing me the desire or not the desire. The 53 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.319 desire has always been there. It's just that there's a lot of irons in 54 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.319 the fire here behind the scenes as we're still in major, major growth mode 55 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.639 here. But the other thing that I've always thought was lacking was just this 56 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:29.480 community aspect. And so one of the things that we are about to launch 57 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.759 is what we call our Inner Circle Todd's in our Circle, where we'll have 58 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:42.480 regular contact, we have some training, some exclusive videos and content for members, 59 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:48.560 but then we'll also have some regular you call them webinars or video calls 60 00:05:48.759 --> 00:06:00.800 where we want to actually teach and network and help move things forward, not 61 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.639 just by discussing it. Every day, but putting feet to the words I 62 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.959 guess that are that are being spoken here at the program. And I gotta 63 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.720 I got a text, ironically over over the weekend from someone who was saying, 64 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.920 hey, we need to you know, kind of form a grassroots organization 65 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:23.040 of sorts to make sure that this person was in Indiana to say, hey, 66 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.519 let's let's focus on, you know, helping helping kind of move the 67 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.319 political needle on certain candidates and that sort of thing. And that's the sort 68 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.720 of sort of thing that can come from building a network of people who want 69 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.360 to do more than just listen. Now you can certainly just listen this, 70 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.399 some of these things are not for everybody, you know, it depends on 71 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.639 it depends on you know, your level of involvement, how serious you are 72 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:57.000 about these things. I know that we're catching people at all different all different 73 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.600 phases. But if you're past the phase of just you know, learning, 74 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.600 and you know you want to do something about it, like these are the 75 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:11.680 things that kind of next steps, not just hearing it, but actually doing 76 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.399 something about it. Those are things that we're working on here. And the 77 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.600 inner Circle membership is another one of those things. And going through this experience 78 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.959 over the weekend has kind of reminded me of that, if I can say 79 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.639 it that way. So, but there are other things that I was asked 80 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.079 about, and one of the more interesting questions I was asked, one of 81 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:36.879 the more interesting questions I was asked was They were all interesting, but this 82 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:43.360 one that I was asked is this And this came from someone at the church. 83 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.160 Over the course of this series. The pastor had been preaching. The 84 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.920 question was is there ever a time to go against the authority of the government. 85 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.839 That's the question. And so I want to frame this. I want 86 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.959 to frame this a little bit here. I want to reframe it. I 87 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.720 understand the core of this question, but let me frame it this way, 88 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.759 and I think it becomes easier, easier to answer. You know, when 89 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:16.680 the Founders, when the Founders created this country, the Founders acknowledge some truths 90 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.360 that our rights come from God, not from not from man, and not 91 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.480 from government. We're created in the image of God. He gives us our 92 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.839 rights. Liberty means that we are free to live as God intended. And 93 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.480 they also said that we're not subjects. Excuse me, yeah, we're not 94 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.480 subjects, we're citizens. We don't get our rights from government. Government can't 95 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.960 tell us what to do. Instead, we power, We empower, I 96 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.919 should say, the government, we give them the our consent to govern us. 97 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:56.519 And the Constitution is basically the rule book on that. Here's what you 98 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.879 can do, executive branch of the government. Here's what you can do, 99 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.440 legislative brands, judicial judicial brands. These are your responsibilities. This is what 100 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.240 the people have basically delegated to you. Too many people have that backwards. 101 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.320 Too many people think, well, I can only do what the government allows, 102 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.639 and that's a scary proposition. It's actually one hundred and eighty degrees out 103 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.399 of whack. We tell the government what to do. And that idea was 104 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.080 revolutionary. Again, we've dealing back when this country was founded. This idea 105 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.519 of the divine right of kings to the throne, they got it. You 106 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.480 know that this next person was divinely appointed to rule a nation. And so 107 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.679 forth, our founders did away with all of that. Our founders did all 108 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.600 away with all that. They established America as a constitutional republic. By republic, 109 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.840 that means that we don't have a pure democracy, a direct democracy. 110 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.720 Instead, we vote for representatives, who then, of course are supposed to 111 00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.559 represent us and we of course have the right and I I dare say, 112 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:07.559 the obligation to hold these folks accountable by constitutional It means that we've written these 113 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.320 rules into place, and we've also taken the time. The founders took the 114 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.679 time to enumerate some and I mean some, not all, some of the 115 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.480 rights that people say we want to retain. And that is written in the 116 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.080 Bill of Rights, the first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution that Madison 117 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:33.960 included. So there you go. That's kind of the framework of what we 118 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.679 have. And so what does it mean. Well, it means in the 119 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.960 strictest of senses, my friends, we don't have rulers. We do not 120 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.879 have rulers. And that's an important thing. Now, I will say this. 121 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.720 I will say this at the risk of some people are not liking it, 122 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.720 But I would say, Biblically speaking, the Bible says, as much 123 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.840 it is as it is possible, live at peace with everyone. We should 124 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.519 be as much as it is possible, we must be respectful of people in 125 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.120 authority. Doesn't mean we can't question them. Ultimately, Again, they work 126 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.679 for the American people based upon the consent of the governed. So we don't 127 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.559 really submit to people. We submit to the rule of law, to the 128 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.080 rule of law, and so that is ultimately what we are supposed to do. 129 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.720 Now, what does that mean then? If there is a law that 130 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:41.360 is written that is directly and clearly in violation of our rights, that is 131 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:48.120 directly outside of the authority given the government via the Constitution, or what if 132 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:56.399 it's something that is directly antithetical to the Bible. For those who are Christians, 133 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.639 what is our obligation to that? I would say, our obligation, 134 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.559 my friends, is to not follow that particular law. So this is basically, 135 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.720 in essence, what the Founders were going through. The Founders were going 136 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:22.039 through prior to writing the Declaration of Independence and declaring their independence from the throne 137 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.480 of England and saying we're no longer part of it. In fact, they 138 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.840 list twenty seven grievances in the declaration when you did this, you did that. 139 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.720 You didn't listen to us. Here, you put undoe burden upon the 140 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.200 people there, you took away our freedoms here, you quartered soldiers there, 141 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.480 and all these sorts of things, stamp acte act, all these things. 142 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.159 You would not listen to us. Taxation without representation, I mean, all 143 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.399 these sorts of things you'll find that say, we tried, we tried to 144 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.039 communicate, we tried to work with you, you didn't. It's become necessary 145 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.240 that we dissolved these bonds and that we are now a free and independent nation. 146 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.159 And that's where it got to for them. So I want to continue 147 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.279 talking about that. But my friends, let me tell you a little bit 148 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.440 about Salty. Did you know?

All right, so back to this this issue. 162 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:26.080 Answering this question, So should we ever go against the quote unquote authority 163 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.879 of the government. Well again, if these laws that are written, if 164 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.799 these laws that are written go against our liberties, the liberties that are captured 165 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.080 in the Constitution, if they go against for the believer, if they go 166 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:48.080 directly against scripture, if it is a clear attempt by the government to exercise 167 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.480 authority well outsigned the outside the bonds or the bounds I should say, given 168 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.080 to it by the US Constitution, then we, my friends, can can 169 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.039 fight these these those would be un just laws. And for those of you 170 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.600 who are Christians, you'll remember the story of Shadrack, Meshack, and Abenigo, 171 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:13.519 right, the three young men who refused a law. They refused a 172 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.360 law to bow down to the golden image of King Nebekinezzar. And by the 173 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.279 way, it's a perfect depiction of how these of how these rulers begin to 174 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.759 think and act. The human nature when you have absolute power is to do 175 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.320 absolutely more and more insane things, to the point to where they made an 176 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.799 image of gold and required people bow down to it. How stupid could this 177 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.279 possibly have been? Shadrack, Mishak and Abenigo refused to bow down. They 178 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.360 were given basically an ultimatum. If you don't bow down, we're gonna throw 179 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.960 you into this. We're gonna take your lives by basically burning you alive. 180 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.039 And these were young men, and they said, no, we're not going 181 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.759 to do it. In fact, what they told the king was, O 182 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.639 King, I'm paraphrasing here. Our God is able to save us from your 183 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.240 fiery furnace. But even if he doesn't, these words will preach, by 184 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.879 the way, even if he doesn't. I love this. They didn't know, 185 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:18.159 They didn't know the outcome. They had not read the rest of the 186 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.840 book, the Book of Daniel, where the story is told. They hadn't 187 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.720 seen how this thing played out. And they said, we're not going to 188 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:30.799 do it because it is it is in direct opposition to what God instructs us 189 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:37.080 to do. It is in direct opposition of the way that we're supposed to 190 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.240 live, of the freedom that we have. You could say, to not 191 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.200 bow down to worship the God that we choose not to worship your silly little 192 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.200 image. And so they threw them in the fiery furnace. They were saved. 193 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.360 They were saved by God. In fact, there's a this is an 194 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.679 old testament. What do you wanna say reference to Jesus even stepping into that 195 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.680 furnace to save them? So that is I would say, our duty and 196 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:10.599 responsibility. And we have friends, we have a government that is so ridiculously 197 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:17.920 out of control. I mean it has blown past the bounds of the constitution 198 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.720 for for a long long time. I'm talking decades. The Founders would not 199 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.160 remotely recognize what's going on here. I'm not just talking about technological advances and 200 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:33.240 societal changes. I'm talking about what government is doing. They would say, 201 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.599 your government does what? Why is it over here? How much is it 202 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.319 costing you do? How much is your debt? Right? I mean this 203 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:48.880 is massive, massive deviations from what the Founders put in place. So the 204 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.000 question really to me is not so much do we have? Is there ever 205 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.720 time to go against the quote unquote authority of the government. I would say, 206 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.880 yes that we do. I think the real question is what happens, 207 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.279 what should we do when the government goes against the authority of the people, 208 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:11.319 because again, we are the ones who have the authority, and I think 209 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:18.160 that we have an obligation to resist. At its core, government has forced 210 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.720 my friends. In fact, Thomas Paine wrote Thomas pain wrote back one of 211 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.759 the Founders, that government, even in its best state, is but a 212 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:33.559 necessary evil. In its worst state, it's an intolerable one. James Madison 213 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.000 wrote in Federalist Paper fifty one that if men were angels, no government would 214 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:42.640 be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls 215 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.960 on government would be necessary, and that justice. In another part of Federalist 216 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.359 fifty one, justice is the end of government. It is the end of 217 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.000 civil society, meaning that that is what the pursuit of government should be. 218 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:03.480 Is justice is Jama talking about, you know, all of the things that 219 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:11.480 we've tried to tie to justice today. I mean true legitimate justice, right, 220 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.240 protecting life, making sure that there's law and order. This is the 221 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.279 end. This is the role. The purpose of government is to make sure 222 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:23.720 that evil doesn't run amok in a society there that there are consequences for infringing 223 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:30.680 upon the lives and liberty of individuals, and that's the role of government. 224 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.160 But now they make it. They make it about the what the levels of 225 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:40.400 the sea in one hundred years, or they make it about I mean, 226 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.559 just take your pick. Their tentacles are in everything. They're in everything, 227 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:51.119 whether or not, whether or not somebody who plays in the w n b 228 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.720 A makes the same amount as someone who who plays in the NBA. I 229 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:03.039 mean, this is quite a crazy, again, deviation from what the founders 230 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.920 had intended. So that's one of the other things that we kind of talked 231 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.039 about. I mentioned that the Declaration of Independence listed twenty seven grievances that the 232 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:17.319 founders had against the King of England, and they tried with all their might 233 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.960 to find a remedy. They tried with all their might to find a remedy, 234 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:26.680 and they ultimately did not. They did not. I'm reminded of Romans 235 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.480 twelve eighteen. Here, if possible, it says, so far as it 236 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.200 depends on you be at peace with all people. There's a time, my 237 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.279 friends, when it doesn't depend upon you, when there's nothing else that you 238 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.759 can do. If someone decides to put the heavy boot of tyranny upon our 239 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.480 throats, and we've tried to communicate, we approach our government with the redress 240 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.960 petition, our government with the redress of grievances. If they ignore it, 241 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:56.000 if they are totalitarian, then we now are suddenly in a position where we're 242 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.880 going to have to We're going to have to do something about it, hopefully 243 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:07.160 just by the election at the election box, voting people in that will respect 244 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.880 liberty and the role of government and so forth. But if there's an individual 245 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.680 law that's not that is unconstitutional or outside the bounds of the government to set 246 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.599 up, there's nothing, I mean, we can resist that, and we 247 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.720 should. We should. So anyway, my friends, did you know that 248 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:30.759 gold has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dow Jones since nineteen 249 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.359 seventy one, That, of course, is when the US took the dollar 250 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.200 off of the gold standard. Question is is that a coincidence? Well, 251 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:44.319 when the government allowed people to own gold again, they reclassified gold as a 252 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:49.880 commodity rather than a paper currency backstop. They did this all while themselves holding 253 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:56.359 and hoarding some of the highest amounts of physical gold in its own reserve. 254 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.160 All countries, central banks, major institutions, and yes, even the IMF, 255 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:06.640 the International Monetary Fund itself own substantial gold holdings. If all these entities 256 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.759 that control Fiat paper money have physical gold, shouldn't you as well? Well 257 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.839 you can do that. You can check out Harvard Gold Group. Are friends 258 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.359 there and see if having gold in your portfolio makes sense.

So we'll continue this discussion here, get 263 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.880 into some other things, maybe some of the feedback I got as well on 264 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.000 the other side of the break, my friends. But right now we've got 265 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.200 a quick time out in order. You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. 266 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.119 I am your host, the world sponsors and advert Oh sorry about that 267 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:08.599 one. The only Todd huff back here in just a minute. Back, 268 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:14.039 my friends. So, I mean going through some of these things that we 269 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:21.839 were talking about. A pastor and I at our church this past weekend and 270 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.960 got into I mean a lot of different things. We've went through a couple 271 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.039 of the questions, the things that we were speaking about. One of the 272 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:33.480 things he asked me, and I told him was the hardest question that he 273 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:41.240 asked, is where can I find credible information about the issues and candidates and 274 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.079 so forth. And the reality is I had to tell him, I don't 275 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.960 know. I mean, that's just the truth that now. There are places 276 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.640 that I've learned, I learned to trust, but I'm far from wanting to 277 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.440 go on record and saying this is a reliable source, this is a reliable 278 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.960 source. Of course, you know that journalism is largely dead. Everybody wants 279 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:11.079 to be an editorialist, an opinion leader. True journalism the art of presenting 280 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.279 different sides of an issue, of an argument, and so forth, and 281 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:22.480 then not interjecting your opinion, remaining as unbiased as possible. That is a 282 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.920 lost art form. And there's some there's some journalists out there, true journalists, 283 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:33.039 but there are fewer and fewer that make their way into the position of 284 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:40.799 well being a journalist, especially for some of the mainstream media outlets that they 285 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.799 don't even try in most cases, and so it's hard to say where to 286 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.839 find where to find reliable sources. Of course, you could turn into tune 287 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:53.440 into this program, but the reality is, I don't know some of the 288 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:59.880 things that I mean, I don't have an idea sometimes as to whether we 289 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.599 it's being reported as true or not. That's why I think it's more important 290 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:10.440 for you for me to think through the issue. Whatever the issue is. 291 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.119 I mean, it can be anything, the role of government, taxation, 292 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:19.960 abortion, take your pick. Develop your position, think through what makes sense, 293 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:26.759 what makes sense from the constitution perspective, what makes sense just as you 294 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.640 think about the totality of the issue, and then you come to you develop 295 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:40.440 your viewpoint, your position, and then and then instead of just chasing any 296 00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.519 narrative that comes up at the moment by the media, you measure what you 297 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:49.319 see, what you see these politicians doing about the issue, not what they're 298 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.880 saying, not what they're campaigning on, not what they're trying to raise money 299 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.000 off of, but what they actually are doing. And by the way, 300 00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:02.880 it's a great opportunity to make sure that you don't that none of us fall 301 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.759 into the trap of saying, well, they voted against the I Love Puppies 302 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:11.119 Act. Well, my friends, sometimes and actually in most cases, the 303 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.559 I Love Puppies Act has absolutely nothing to do with puppies. It might be 304 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:26.839 something a federally funded puppy program for people that also includes lots of additional well 305 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.240 taxes and other things, probably money for Ukraine and so forth. So that 306 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.880 becomes, you know, context matters, and having a full understanding of the 307 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:44.519 issue matters, And so we shouldn't just trust these jokers and clowns for obvious 308 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.799 for obvious reasons, I would say, be skeptical, be a free thinker, 309 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.880 be mature, be wise. Again, the sign of being an adult 310 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.799 is to entertain a thought without having to accept it. So talked about a 311 00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.160 couple of those things. The other questions I was asked here was what do 312 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.039 we do? Like you fast forward to November sixth, which just day the 313 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.599 day after the election, What do we do? How do I respond if 314 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.119 my candidate loses or if my canaidate wins. And I first say, if 315 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:21.599 your candidate loses, I would say, not to imitate some of the things 316 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:26.079 we've seen in previous years, which include things like screaming at the universe, 317 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:32.720 having to cancel class because you're unable to attend, calling in sick to work, 318 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.480 requesting service dogs. That's right, that happened, Needing adult coloring books 319 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:42.519 or adult plato to cope with the election results or those sorts of things, 320 00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:49.279 and if your candidate wins. I would also not advise what someone did to 321 00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.359 me, which again it didn't bother me, but I had an individual call 322 00:27:52.480 --> 00:28:00.359 me and say, haha, Todd, Kamala is going to be present vice 323 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.599 which I don't know why that was the point. I don't know. Again, 324 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.799 it's obvious that people were not excited about Biden. First black woman is 325 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:14.720 going to be vice president, which that's great, assuming that person has the 326 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.559 qualifications, which of course we obviously do not have. We do know, 327 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.759 I should say, we do know that Kamala has zero qualifications other than possibly 328 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:32.119 that cackle. But anyway, it's it is don't do those things right. 329 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.519 We shouldn't gloat if we win, and we shouldn't think that the world is 330 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:41.240 over if we lose. There are serious consequences from this election. I'm not 331 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:47.359 disputing that for a moment, But what I am saying is win or lose. 332 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.200 The battle I think is the same. I think is the same I 333 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.039 would say, we have to fight for liberty, We have to fight for 334 00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.000 the Constitution and for truth. We have to understand that this is not going 335 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.559 anywhere. This is going to be here for the rest of our lives. 336 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:08.039 You've heard me say that many times on this program. This is not going 337 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:15.559 away. This is not going anywhere, Reagan says. Reagan said, liberty 338 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:21.119 is always just one generation away from extinction, and we do not pass it 339 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.079 along to our children in the bloodstream. We have to We have to pass 340 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.759 it on by making sure that they understand it and that they are prepared to 341 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.559 defend it and then pass it on to the next generation. And so that 342 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.480 is not going away. So we're going to have to persuade, We're going 343 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.799 to have to engage. We got lots of work to do. In fact, 344 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.799 there's a lot of work that's going to kick off on November six, 345 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:51.400 they're shortly thereabouts. Not just not just dealing with the election results, but 346 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.599 hey, maybe it's time to start looking at ways that we can have more 347 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:59.079 of a voice, more of an impact in the Republican Party. Maybe we 348 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:03.240 can get some more concerns privative candidates, people who believe in the Constitution by 349 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.839 the way that reminds me. Just side note, it's in the snack of 350 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.279 stuff today. Tucker Carlson was on with Joe Rogan i think last week, 351 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.039 and he said a lot of people in Congress and this is not surprising to 352 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.880 me. In fact, I've mentioned the same thing to Oz here, but 353 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:25.880 he says, a lot of people in Congress are terrified. Are terrified because 354 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.480 the deep state. Could you know, if you oppose them, if you 355 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.160 oppose them in any way that they decide needs to be punished, you know, 356 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:38.440 they can do something like and he used the example of put kitty porn 357 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:45.519 on your on your computer and suddenly you're immediately guilty. They dropped it on 358 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.720 there. There's you know, they they can move on. You're the one 359 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.079 that has to deal with it, and that is not something anybody wants to 360 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.640 have to deal with. So we got a mess here that's not gonna that's 361 00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:02.200 not gonna be cleaned up from this election. I think that steps can be 362 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:07.880 made to clean some of that stuff up, but we've got we have generations, 363 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:10.279 my friends, of work to be done. And even if we clean 364 00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.440 it all up and get it back to where it needs to be, we 365 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:17.000 still have to be about the work of making sure that we pass it on 366 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:26.119 to the next the next generation. So let's see what else do I want 367 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.680 to say to you here some of the reaction of some of the reaction. 368 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.079 Actually, before I do that, let me tell you a little bit about 369 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:36.000 what's happening reminds you what's happening here at My Pillow.

So what are some of the the last segment, 386 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.799 I'll just kind of square this up or tee this up as we are in 387 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:08.000 the final minute here of this segment. But next segment, I'll just share 388 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:15.039 a little bit about some of the maybe questions or feedback I'd gotten after what 389 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:21.200 I shared yesterday or this weekend that at our church, got a lot of 390 00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:23.599 feedback, a lot of things that you know, maybe some of you are 391 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:28.680 thinking, or maybe some people that you know are thinking. I'll just kind 392 00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:34.559 of share some of that in our final segment of this hour, which we'll 393 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:39.000 do here after the break which is quickly approaching us, my friends. So 394 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.839 that's what we'll do on the other side of the break. In the meantime, 395 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.319 I will remind you that you're listening here to America's home for conservative not 396 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:52.000 bitter a talk. You're listening to the one, the only, the benevolent 397 00:33:52.720 --> 00:34:15.559 Todd Huff back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. 398 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:20.559 So just a little bit about a little bit of the feedback that I got, 399 00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:23.480 just because I think it might be some of these things that come up, 400 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:31.079 might be things that you have heard that you are maybe dealing with or 401 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:40.440 whatever. One individual came up to me told me he was I would I 402 00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:45.000 would say, from what I could ascertain, he's a moderate conservative. He 403 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:52.159 said he cannot vote for either candidate. It's not voting for Biden or for 404 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:59.760 Trump. You've heard me address this on here before. I don't particularly understand 405 00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:10.719 that this because one of those two is going to be our president. One 406 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.760 of those two is going to be the president. My my vote, I'm 407 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:20.639 not. It's I'm not if I choose not to vote or not to participate 408 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:25.480 and not to accept the reality that Trump or Biden one will be president. 409 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:34.280 I am not suddenly like not part of the problem or anything. I still 410 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:39.639 have to deal with the same problem. I need to decide which president's ideas 411 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:45.920 and policies are better for the nation, better for liberty, more in line 412 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.639 with the Constitution, better for the economy, all those things, better for 413 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:58.280 better for what, international relations, foreign policy, what have you. And 414 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.920 I think the one, I know the choice is absolutely stark and obvious. 415 00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:08.760 Trump's policies are much much much better. You know, a lot of what 416 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.480 I got yesterday, A lot of what I got yesterday was, you know, 417 00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:22.000 I mean, some some encouraging, encouraging talk. We one individual, 418 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.960 you know, commented that this, you know, a lot of what we 419 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:37.400 talk about is really just just the approach. How much further we would advance 420 00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:42.320 in this discourse if we just if we just took the time and effort to 421 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:47.320 do it. I mean, this is not it's not complicated stuff. It 422 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.880 might be difficult to execute because you know, it's not always easy to maintain 423 00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.480 our cool and all that sort of stuff. But my friends, I mean, 424 00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:04.000 we're hanging This nation is hanging on by a metaphorical thread here, hanging 425 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:12.000 on by a thread. And I think that if it's as bad as I 426 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:16.679 think that it is, and I'm certain, very certain that it is then 427 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:24.559 I have no choice but to be involved and to be engaged in this overall 428 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:37.559 process of trying to persuade. And it's the alternative to maybe being uncomfortable or 429 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:42.679 being intense situations is so much worse. You know, sometimes I feel like 430 00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:47.599 we collectively as a nation are living in some sort of denial. It's not 431 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:53.719 the choice really isn't. Well, you know, I can have discomfort here 432 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:59.639 or you know, live at peace. The question is do I want to 433 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:07.159 have some momentary discomfort now that is relatively minor, or do I want massive 434 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:14.400 life altering changes to come because of oppression? And who knows what else. 435 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.559 There's stories in the Stack of Stuff today if you want to go check it 436 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:20.480 out on the website Tatafshow dot com. Just go to the Stack of Stuff. 437 00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:28.360 One of them is about Bank America allegedly potentially d banking. Christians think 438 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.360 about that. I mean, what if we get to the point and we're 439 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.760 we're on that path, my friends, if you're unable to are unable to 440 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:44.880 bank because of your political affiliation, your your religious affiliation, seems like a 441 00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.960 pretty big problem, right And to some it's down the road, it's it's 442 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:54.559 it's it's not it doesn't seem real. But we're marching quickly down this path. 443 00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:05.840 And we can either take relatively i don't know, small small steps collectively 444 00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:08.760 to try to write this ship, or we can just sit collectively on our 445 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:16.679 hands doing nothing and deal with massive pain and deal with massive persecution unlike we've 446 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:25.519 ever dealt with remotely in this country. So very real problems that exist out 447 00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:35.599 there today, and some of these things are minor inconveniences to engage in today. 448 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:38.360 It's a little bit of discomfort, it's a little bit of being pushed 449 00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:45.039 out of my comfort zone or having to have a tough conversation dealing Compare that 450 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:52.639 with living in a nation that's not free, living in a nation that openly 451 00:39:52.719 --> 00:40:00.599 persecutes people of whatever group that you think will be persecuted next. But you 452 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.840 know you have an idea of who the government's targeting right now. In fact, 453 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.559 I tell my wife, hey, you know we're right in the middle 454 00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:15.400 of that. We're self employed, we home to school, we have a 455 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:21.239 political talk radio show. We're conservative, we're Christian. I mean, this 456 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:25.000 is I like to say. If it's gonna get Harry here, I want 457 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:30.400 to be I don't want to be the guy that suffers in prison for years. 458 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.559 I want to be the one that they make the example of for the 459 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:36.519 rest of the group. I want to go quickly. Now I'm saying that 460 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.079 hyperbolically, but at the same time, there's truth there in my friends. 461 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:44.960 It doesn't take long to see that governments have done these incredibly terrible things throughout 462 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:46.920 history. So got to go. Thanks for listening, SDG
