Speaker 2: what we want to get into. I want to talk
Speaker 2: about what I'm I guess I'm going to refer to
Speaker 2: as a political realignment. Is what's happening here in our
Speaker 2: country today. A political realignment. In fact, that's what today's
Speaker 2: Todd Talk is about, which you'll be able to find
Speaker 2: those on our website. Those are sixty second features, little clips,
Speaker 2: snippets of if you will, they're not snippets of this show.
Speaker 2: They're just short daily features talking sometimes about it just depends.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's about things that are maybe front and center
Speaker 2: on the program, which is kind of what today's was.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's anecdotes and experiences and things that I have
Speaker 2: well that I want to share with people. And sometimes
Speaker 2: it is some stories that don't have time to get
Speaker 2: to or that I find humorous or whatever. But those
Speaker 2: are Todd Talks, and those will be as we build
Speaker 2: those out on the website. But there's a political realignment
Speaker 2: happening here in this country, and I want to talk
Speaker 2: about that here in this hour of the program. Will
Speaker 2: do that my friends as the program it gets a
Speaker 2: roll in here. Before I do that, they'll let me

Speaker 2: code Todd crush yourvice my friends with nick Nack Natural.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about this political realignment that we have.
Speaker 2: This political realignment. So just in the past couple of
Speaker 2: days alone, since the end of last week, we have
Speaker 2: had Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who and by all measures,
Speaker 2: is a liberal Democrat. Now, notice the term that I
Speaker 2: I used to describe Robert F. Kennedy Junior RFK Junior.
Speaker 2: I did not use the term radical leftist. He's not
Speaker 2: a radical leftist. And you know, this might require a
Speaker 2: little bit of explanation because some people use these terms
Speaker 2: I think interchangeably. Now you can say someone is on
Speaker 2: the left and they are a liberal. That would be fair.
Speaker 2: You could say someone is left leaning and they not
Speaker 2: be a radical leftist. So the way that I talk
Speaker 2: about this, and the way that I think people should
Speaker 2: think about this is if you can envision a political
Speaker 2: spectrum a continuum. A line right is a flat line,
Speaker 2: an x axis. On one end, I have the furthest
Speaker 2: left that we can go right at the beginning of
Speaker 2: that line. On the other end, I've got the furthest
Speaker 2: right that we can go And you know a lot
Speaker 2: of people want to put fascism at one end and
Speaker 2: communism at the other, and communism on the left, fascism
Speaker 2: on the right, and then the idea is, hey, we've
Speaker 2: got to be somewhere in the middle here. That is
Speaker 2: not how I think about this. Now you're free to
Speaker 2: think about it the other way. I just don't think
Speaker 2: that it's best. I know that that's the traditional political paradigm,
Speaker 2: the traditional political spectrum I don't. I choose not to
Speaker 2: look at it that way because I don't think it's accurate.
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's the way to explain it. Well,
Speaker 2: the way I look at it is on the left
Speaker 2: end of the spectrum, we have total government control. Now,
Speaker 2: whatever form of government that the well that's instituted to
Speaker 2: use that totalitarian absolute control is largely irrelevant to me.
Speaker 2: So you can say that it's fascist, you can say
Speaker 2: that it's communist, you can say that it's you know,
Speaker 2: in the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran, you
Speaker 2: can say that it's an extreme theocratic government that is
Speaker 2: totalitarian as well. It doesn't so much matter to me.
Speaker 2: The those are those are the details to me. What
Speaker 2: is to me important is whether or not there is
Speaker 2: liberty or there is power in the government, ultimate power
Speaker 2: to total control and power. And so at the far
Speaker 2: end of the left spectrum, I say, absolute government control,
Speaker 2: not much liberty, not any liberty. And in the furthest
Speaker 2: left example, the government makes all decisions. You sit down,
Speaker 2: you shut up, I sit down, I shut up. We
Speaker 2: are all cogs in the wheel and we need to
Speaker 2: be doing what we're told. High HOHI ho it's off
Speaker 2: to work. We go whatever they tell us. We don't question.
Speaker 2: That's the furthest uh. Again in this in this spectrum,
Speaker 2: on the other end is anarchy. On the other end
Speaker 2: is this idea that says, you know what we're we're free,
Speaker 2: and we are so free that we literally reject any
Speaker 2: sort of governance whatsoever. This is the wild West. There
Speaker 2: are no rules. It is simply just you know, live
Speaker 2: your life, and you know, there's there's no laws, there's
Speaker 2: no order. It's just anarchy. And I guess survival of
Speaker 2: the fittest. So now those are extreme right. This is
Speaker 2: a long, long line. But again, what I like to
Speaker 2: do and I kind of learned I don't know if
Speaker 2: I learned this from Rush or if he helped bring
Speaker 2: this out in me. Is something that I was already doing.
Speaker 2: But he used to say, we illustrate the absurd with
Speaker 2: the absurd. But I think you also illustrate just just
Speaker 2: to to kind of sandwich down and kind of create
Speaker 2: a sandwich and squeeze down until you get to the
Speaker 2: point where you think, okay, this is this is where
Speaker 2: I think the balance point should be. This is actually
Speaker 2: where we should land on this spectrum. So we're starting
Speaker 2: super wide, and I would think I would think that
Speaker 2: in America today most people would say I reject both
Speaker 2: of those extremes. There would be some people that would
Speaker 2: accept or even call for some of those extremes to
Speaker 2: be the case. But I think that they're on the
Speaker 2: fringe still, And so we start walking our way towards
Speaker 2: the middle. We don't have to land at the middle.
Speaker 2: The idea isn't that the middle is the right place.
Speaker 2: Every time we start with these extremes, and then we
Speaker 2: begin to walk them back. And so as we begin
Speaker 2: to walk from the right end of the spectrum from anarchy,
Speaker 2: you get to a point somewhere where it's you know,
Speaker 2: you're moving left, but you're still you know, right of
Speaker 2: center significantly, and you get to the point where I
Speaker 2: think our founders landed, and they landed at this concept
Speaker 2: that said, we want we want law and or in
Speaker 2: a society, we want to we understand, we understand that
Speaker 2: we are created with these rights. These rights come from God,
Speaker 2: our creator, and so the government has to have some
Speaker 2: teeth and ability to protect those and you know, there's
Speaker 2: some other things that government has to do as well.
Speaker 2: The government has to provide national defense. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: if there's no order, no structure or anything, and you've
Speaker 2: got an enemy, you've got another nation that's deciding to
Speaker 2: invade your country, you're going to have a heck of
Speaker 2: a hard time repelling that attack if you don't have
Speaker 2: any organization or any military or any ability to defend yourself. Now,
Speaker 2: some people would say, well, you know, individual people would
Speaker 2: defend themselves, but again then it's like minor skirmishes. You
Speaker 2: got a major army coming through and fighting a few
Speaker 2: people here, fighting a few people there, and those people
Speaker 2: that they're encountering may or may not even really be
Speaker 2: supporting one another anyway. So there has to be a
Speaker 2: mechanism whereby we can address things that we know we're
Speaker 2: going to have to run into. And national defense is
Speaker 2: well one of them. Another one would be defending the
Speaker 2: rights of people. So the Founders really spent some time
Speaker 2: here and they wrote about this. Jefferson wrote about this
Speaker 2: in the Declaration. I mean, you know that this idea
Speaker 2: that we're all created with these rights by our creator,
Speaker 2: and so it's the role of government to say, look,
Speaker 2: we're going to we acknowledge that these exist, and we
Speaker 2: are going to defend and protect those and if people
Speaker 2: infringe upon your life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness, the
Speaker 2: government is going to take actions whereby there are consequences
Speaker 2: for infringing upon someone's God given rights. And you can't
Speaker 2: have a government that's completely feckless, that's completely completely worthless,
Speaker 2: or doesn't have enough power to function. In fact, you
Speaker 2: could make the case, you can make the case that
Speaker 2: the founders kind of experimented with this and understood when
Speaker 2: they established the Articles of Confederation in the early stages
Speaker 2: of this country, and so they realized that they did
Speaker 2: not there was not enough teeth in the well, there
Speaker 2: wasn't enough power in the government to deal with some
Speaker 2: of these some of these threats, some of these rebellions
Speaker 2: and so forth, and so they kind of move maybe
Speaker 2: a little bit more towards some centralized power, but of
Speaker 2: course still well on the side that says, look, we're
Speaker 2: doing this not to centralize power and become a far
Speaker 2: leftist country on the spectrum that I've laid out. Instead,
Speaker 2: we're doing this to protect the rights of the people
Speaker 2: and also to respec to defend this society and this
Speaker 2: structure that we're building so that people can live their
Speaker 2: lives without constant threats of uh, you know, just attacks
Speaker 2: on their whether it be their into their their rights,
Speaker 2: or upon the very civilization itself. There has to be
Speaker 2: enough teeth to push back. And so you begin to
Speaker 2: find where that is on the spectrum. You know, we
Speaker 2: have a government, but we want it to be as
Speaker 2: limited as possible. It's not anarchy. There has to be some,
Speaker 2: as I've explained, some ability to have some teeth into
Speaker 2: this government. There has to be a mechanism whereby we
Speaker 2: can actually accomplish things and actually defend both our country
Speaker 2: and the rights of people. And so you can kind
Speaker 2: of envision where this is in your mind. It's still
Speaker 2: right of center, but it's not on the far end
Speaker 2: because there's some structure in order. But the Founder's basically said,
Speaker 2: and that's what the Constitution was. The Constitution was basically
Speaker 2: a document that said, Okay, we are going to give
Speaker 2: the government these specific powers. And they went through the
Speaker 2: articles and they laid that out. They laid out all
Speaker 2: those things. They laid out the idea that you have
Speaker 2: a Congress that has these responsibilities, and you have a
Speaker 2: bicameral Congress that has the House of Representatives in the
Speaker 2: Senate and these This is how the senators made up.
Speaker 2: This is how they are elected. This is how often
Speaker 2: they have to go through an election process. You've got
Speaker 2: the House of Representatives. This is how the districts are
Speaker 2: apportioned amongst the amongst the colonies or states at the time.
Speaker 2: And you know, this is how we're going to calculate
Speaker 2: how many states get, how many representatives and all these
Speaker 2: sorts of things. And oh, by the way, this is
Speaker 2: this is the legislative process. This is how something becomes law.
Speaker 2: This is you know, how the president can veto that law. Oh,
Speaker 2: but Congress can override that veto all those rules, right,
Speaker 2: And there's very specific roles or very specific responsibilities that
Speaker 2: each branch of government has. The Founders also were brilliant
Speaker 2: when they said, look, you know, we're not going to
Speaker 2: just give all the power to say a chief executive
Speaker 2: who's now our president. Some folks wanted a king type figure.
Speaker 2: The Founders said, let's let's not go that direction. We've
Speaker 2: kind of seen where that that's ended up. Let's have
Speaker 2: a president. I mean, it's okay, we need to we
Speaker 2: need a commander in chief. We need someone who is
Speaker 2: presiding over kind of the head of government, so to speak.
Speaker 2: But we don't want to give this person too much power.
Speaker 2: We see what that can do. That's a danger. So
Speaker 2: we'll have this legislature and again we divide the legislature.
Speaker 2: And originally you've heard me mention this before. Originally the
Speaker 2: founder said, hey, the Senate, the Senate is going to
Speaker 2: be elected by the rep excuse me, the the legislatures
Speaker 2: in each in each state. So then senators would be
Speaker 2: held accountable by the state legislatures, and then the people
Speaker 2: would hold the representatives accountable. We've done away with that,
Speaker 2: so now there's direct election of senators by the people
Speaker 2: as well. I think that's a terrible idea, I know,
Speaker 2: I do. I think that it was brilliant in how
Speaker 2: they set that up. Of course, there's room for obviously
Speaker 2: corruption there, and that's kind of what changed, you know,
Speaker 2: the the amendment to the Constitution that changed that. But
Speaker 2: there's corruption today as well with the way that these
Speaker 2: these folks operate in the deep state. And that's really
Speaker 2: again at the heart of what we're going to get
Speaker 2: into here when we talk about this, you know, the
Speaker 2: new realignment and what the new battle is about. It's
Speaker 2: no longer just about tax rates and you know, social programs.
Speaker 2: We're talking about fundamentally changing our country. You've got a
Speaker 2: group of people that want to fundamentally change what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about here, and you have a group of people
Speaker 2: that want to defend it. That's me, that's the vast
Speaker 2: majority of you as well. And so they wrote this
Speaker 2: constitution and they said this is what you can do.
Speaker 2: Anything else, anything that's not specified in this document, you
Speaker 2: are not permitted to do. That's read the Tenth Amendment. Basically,
Speaker 2: it says, whatever is not specified in this document is
Speaker 2: reserved by this to the States and to the individual,
Speaker 2: to the actual individual American citizen. Meaning if it doesn't
Speaker 2: say Congress or the President or the Supreme Court can
Speaker 2: do X, Y or z, and that's up to the
Speaker 2: states and the people, right, they are the ones who
Speaker 2: retain the rights to manage that particular thing. Friends, we
Speaker 2: have blown through that. It is though, it is as
Speaker 2: though we have looked at the Tenth Amendment and said,
Speaker 2: let's burn that baby to the ground. Let's totally disregard
Speaker 2: that because the exact opposite has happened. The exact opposite
Speaker 2: has happened. That's how you find things in the Constitution
Speaker 2: that says that there's a right for a woman to
Speaker 2: terminate the life of her unborn child. That's exactly how
Speaker 2: you end up with that, because now you have these
Speaker 2: games of semantics and make believe Supreme Court decisions and
Speaker 2: so forth, meaning make believe, make believe meaning, they just
Speaker 2: they come up with their desired endpoint and then they
Speaker 2: use sully logic and reasoning to get to that point. Right,
Speaker 2: the ends justifies the means. Right. We want to protect
Speaker 2: a woman's right to kill her unborn child, so let's
Speaker 2: just make up a bunch of rules to get there.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: And so, the government has been stepping outside the constitution
Speaker 2: for a long long time. I'm talking decades and decades
Speaker 2: and decades. And so you have people that have been
Speaker 2: in the government and they are on both parties. They
Speaker 2: are in both parties, i should say, and they are
Speaker 2: they are intent on growing the size and scope of government. See,
Speaker 2: they are on the inside. They are in the ruling class.
Speaker 2: They think that they know better. They are condescending, they
Speaker 2: are arrogant, they are self righteous. These folks, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: you go back and you look at the Bible. These
Speaker 2: folks remind me an awful lot about the religious leaders
Speaker 2: of the day coming up for rules for the people
Speaker 2: to follow, onerous, heavy rules for people to follow that
Speaker 2: are a burden to them, that are a burden to
Speaker 2: the people. But yet usually Congress and the people inside
Speaker 2: the government have one or two things. Sometimes they're exempt
Speaker 2: completely from having to follow the rules at other times,
Speaker 2: at other times they may have to follow the rules.
Speaker 2: But of course they always have the ability to be
Speaker 2: the exception to the rule. But they also since they
Speaker 2: make more money than their counterparts in the private sector,
Speaker 2: research has shown us that the people who are doing
Speaker 2: a job in the federal government make more than someone
Speaker 2: who does it in the private sector, which makes literally
Speaker 2: zero sense. Right. It's not public service if you're going
Speaker 2: there for a pay raise. It's not public service if
Speaker 2: you are using it as a career path and to
Speaker 2: enrich yourself and to have lots of yachts and houses,
Speaker 2: which I'm not against, but don't tell me that it's
Speaker 2: public service. And it also makes no mathematical sense that
Speaker 2: the people who create the wealth that then goes to government.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense that to pay for the
Speaker 2: same job in the government, you have to pay more
Speaker 2: than you would pay for it in the private sector
Speaker 2: when the private sector is the one that's funding the
Speaker 2: public sector. None of this makes any sense. But this
Speaker 2: is the trajectory we've been on for a long time.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say both parties are responsible. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna say it like this. I'm going to
Speaker 2: say that it's virtually all of the Democrats, with maybe
Speaker 2: maybe somebody out there who's an exception. I don't even
Speaker 2: know if that's the case. And it's some of the Republicans,
Speaker 2: maybe even many of the Republicans, Republicans that I would
Speaker 2: call rhinos, Republicans in name only, not the conservatives, not
Speaker 2: the folks who are libertarian, folks who are in the government,
Speaker 2: who you know, they they're kind of in the middle.
Speaker 2: They're not radical, but they're also not principled conservatives who
Speaker 2: would well adhere to the Constitution and believe in truly
Speaker 2: limited government. They they think that they should be in
Speaker 2: charge of the government and the rest of us adults
Speaker 2: should follow along, but they also want to limit a
Speaker 2: little bit what they should get into, but they still
Speaker 2: want it to be more than the Constitution says. That's
Speaker 2: how I view it. So the battle lines are being
Speaker 2: drawn from this point because you're going to have people
Speaker 2: who like me, are on the side of the Constitution
Speaker 2: of liberty, and you're going to have people who are
Speaker 2: on the side of growing big government. That's where the
Speaker 2: new battle lines have been drawn. That's why there's a
Speaker 2: political realignment, so to speak. We'll talk about that as
Speaker 2: the program unfolds. But my friends, do you know I
Speaker 2: know you know because I've mentioned this on here before,

Speaker 2: listening here to Conservative not Better Talk. I am your host,
Speaker 2: the one and only benevolent dictator that's right behind the
Speaker 2: microphone here back in just a minute, my friends, just
Speaker 2: talking here about how there is a political realignment. In
Speaker 2: the first segment we went through and we kind of outlined,
Speaker 2: kind of outlined the I guess reasons or the the background.
Speaker 2: We kind of the lines have been there all along.
Speaker 2: The battle lines have been drawn all along between those
Speaker 2: who love liberty and those who love big government. And
Speaker 2: so there was a time in our nation's history where
Speaker 2: the politics seemed to be about policy, you know, foreign policy,
Speaker 2: tax policy, spending. Let's talk about the budget, you know,
Speaker 2: do we want to have a program for this, How
Speaker 2: much funding does that need? What about the military? All
Speaker 2: these things? Right, that's that's traditionally what politics was. At
Speaker 2: least that's what we were told that it was. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure how much it really ever was that, because
Speaker 2: behind the scenes there's been a fight brewing for a
Speaker 2: long long time, I honestly since the founding of the country.
Speaker 2: Because again, once we acknowledge, once we understand that government does,
Speaker 2: the government grows. I've said this before. I'm going to
Speaker 2: say it again. I know, I know, I'm repeating myself
Speaker 2: from I don't say this often, but I've said this before.
Speaker 2: So the founders understood. The founders understood that it is
Speaker 2: the nature of government to grow. And it's not just
Speaker 2: the nature of government to grow, it's the nature of
Speaker 2: all things to grow that humanity is involved with. I've
Speaker 2: referenced this before we were created. Fact, I just asked
Speaker 2: my son this yesterday. Just asked my son this yesterday.
Speaker 2: I said, when did God biblically from the Bible. When
Speaker 2: did God create work? Because a lot of people think
Speaker 2: that work was kind of a consequence of the fall,
Speaker 2: that's not true. Work was created. Work was created back
Speaker 2: when God saw that everything was good. Work was not
Speaker 2: a result of the fall. Work was something we were
Speaker 2: actually created to do. We are God's workmanship, were to
Speaker 2: be kind of a partner with God, not an equal,
Speaker 2: but one who works alongside of God biblically to do
Speaker 2: the things that He's called us to do. That's saying,
Speaker 2: I think, putting it simply, And I know some of
Speaker 2: you don't believe that. That's okay. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 2: here to criticize it. I just think that that's clearly
Speaker 2: why we're here. I say, clearly, it's clear to me
Speaker 2: because again I believe the Bible to be true, and
Speaker 2: I got reasons for that. But anyway, the point is
Speaker 2: is that work is not a bad thing. Work is
Speaker 2: not a bad thing, and so we were put here
Speaker 2: to do things to I think accomplishing. In fact, the
Speaker 2: first word that's used to describe God in the Bible,
Speaker 2: the first way that God has described in the Bible,
Speaker 2: is that he's a creator. In the beginning. God created, right,
Speaker 2: he created, that's the first thing we know about him.
Speaker 2: And so humans are creators too. Now we're not on
Speaker 2: the level of God, but we're made in his image.
Speaker 2: So we have kind of a sprinkling of his abilities,
Speaker 2: so to speak, a tiny, tiny, just a little bit
Speaker 2: of you know, dab of his abilities within us. And
Speaker 2: we have those abilities in a variety of different talents.
Speaker 2: And so, but all those things, when we seek to
Speaker 2: pursue them, you know, if you seek to, you know,
Speaker 2: just you get married and you want to grow a family,
Speaker 2: and you want to grow a family. You want to
Speaker 2: you want your children to learn. You want your children
Speaker 2: to develop skills, skills to live life, skills to be
Speaker 2: content or happy. You want them to deal with some
Speaker 2: adversity so that they can deal with adversity when life
Speaker 2: hits them up the side of the head like a
Speaker 2: two by four. So these things are all necessary, and
Speaker 2: so we're but but we like to build. We build cities,
Speaker 2: we build businesses, we build families, we build homes, we
Speaker 2: build churches, we build schools. And what do we we
Speaker 2: measure some type of growth That doesn't necessarily mean that
Speaker 2: we measure just how many students but we're measuring improvement.
Speaker 2: We're measuring Sometimes we're saying, let's add on, let's make
Speaker 2: it bigger because we need to accommodate more people, or
Speaker 2: we got a new program, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 2: But we're builders, and that's a good thing. But it's
Speaker 2: not a good thing if you go back to that
Speaker 2: continuum I talked about in the very beginning, that political
Speaker 2: continuum where we have the far left in the far right.
Speaker 2: It's not a good thing if you believe as the
Speaker 2: Founders believed, as the Constitution and Declaration kind of paint
Speaker 2: this picture that we need a limited government, right, we
Speaker 2: need a government that's big enough to do the basic
Speaker 2: things it needs to do, but not any bigger. And
Speaker 2: so if that's the case, and if philosophically the government
Speaker 2: the Founders said, this is the size of the government period, right,
Speaker 2: not doesn't mean that you can't ever hire more people,
Speaker 2: because you know, when you have more people to serve
Speaker 2: as a country grows, of course you need more people
Speaker 2: to I mean fill in the blank, to be police officers,
Speaker 2: to be administrators in the state, or whatever it is. Right,
Speaker 2: that's understandable, but not to the levels that we've we've reached.
Speaker 2: And so the Founders understood the inherent risks of growing
Speaker 2: that government, and there is a well, there's a counterbalance.
Speaker 2: The more the government grows, the more your liberty shrinks.
Speaker 2: That's the way that it works. Government is force, and
Speaker 2: so there's an inherent danger and intrinsic danger to a
Speaker 2: growing government because government is forced and force is a
Speaker 2: direct threat upon your liberty. And so the Founders understood this,
Speaker 2: but they needed this is why. Look, I will go
Speaker 2: along with folks who really are in favor of term limits.
Speaker 2: I'm not against the idea we have term limits. I'm
Speaker 2: not against the idea of term limits at all, I am.
Speaker 2: But my issue is is that the idea that we
Speaker 2: can put that out there as though that's going to
Speaker 2: solve the problem and we can go about our business
Speaker 2: of not not exercising oversight on our government. That is
Speaker 2: where I say that's completely wrong. The real solution is
Speaker 2: being so involved and aware of what's happening in our
Speaker 2: government that we can hold these jokers and clowns accountable.
Speaker 2: And so some people when they say, okay, we got
Speaker 2: term limits, so now they can't be lifers. Now we can,
Speaker 2: you know, let our attentions drift elsewhere. I say, big
Speaker 2: fat an to that, because that is how bad things happen.
Speaker 2: We lull ourselves to sleep. That's how we got into
Speaker 2: this mess, right, I mean I know that. I think
Speaker 2: my father in law, he and I had conversation once
Speaker 2: when he got into politics, more after he had retired,
Speaker 2: and you know, he would say to me, you know,
Speaker 2: when I was working, you know, that's what I was doing.
Speaker 2: I was working, I was living my life. I was,
Speaker 2: you know, providing for my children. He was a single father,
Speaker 2: and you know, did a great job, but he was
Speaker 2: occupied and so you know, he didn't follow the government
Speaker 2: very closely. And then when he was retired and he
Speaker 2: started seeing what the government had become, he thought, what
Speaker 2: the world did we do? And that's because we were complacent.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying, look, I understand, I'm understanding about this.
Speaker 2: You know, we we have a lot to manage, and
Speaker 2: that's another thing on our plate. And then when you
Speaker 2: factor in that, the government makes it harder for you
Speaker 2: to hold them accountable because they do things like create inflation.
Speaker 2: Thank you to President Joseph R. Bribery and Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: and other lovers of big government who want to spend
Speaker 2: money we don't have without raising taxes, which I'm not
Speaker 2: endorsing we shouldn't spend the money, but it's somehow got
Speaker 2: to be covered. And so what happens is instead of
Speaker 2: raising taxes that pay for it, they actually they actually
Speaker 2: create inflation. They create an additional money supply to cover
Speaker 2: the bills of the things that they spent money on,
Speaker 2: and in so doing that, by creating an excess money supply,
Speaker 2: they drive down. They put too many dollars into the economy,
Speaker 2: making your dollars that you currently have, that you currently
Speaker 2: that you worked for previously, or that you save previously,
Speaker 2: they make them worth less. And so when prices go up,
Speaker 2: that means you have to work more. And if you
Speaker 2: work more, you're not able to do things like I mean,
Speaker 2: take your pick. You're definitely not able to hold your
Speaker 2: government accountable because they're out there doing whatever they want
Speaker 2: to do, and then they come and they tell you
Speaker 2: something else, something different altogether that they're out there doing,
Speaker 2: and so it's hard to hold these jokers at clowns accountable.
Speaker 2: They know this. It's also harder for if you're a
Speaker 2: if you're a mother and you want to stay home
Speaker 2: with your children. I'm not implying that you have to,
Speaker 2: but I know a lot of mothers that that's the
Speaker 2: desire of their heart, and they can't because of financial pressures.
Speaker 2: A lot of these financial certainly, we got to look
Speaker 2: to ourselves first and say, what am I doing That
Speaker 2: is a burden financially? Can I cut doing this? Can
Speaker 2: I cut the Netflix? Can I cut that? Okay? Did
Speaker 2: we really need a house that's this big? Whatever? But
Speaker 2: it's also true to say that the government has made
Speaker 2: it harder to live our lives financially and to make
Speaker 2: these decisions, and so then we become we become overburdened
Speaker 2: by our government. And that's where we are, and that's
Speaker 2: where the battle line is drawn. R FK and Donald
Speaker 2: Trump and Todd Huff and the vast majority of you
Speaker 2: are on the side of the line at least in
Speaker 2: certain key issues that say, enough, you guys have ruined
Speaker 2: everything you've touched. You're a disaster, You're a mess. Knock
Speaker 2: it off. I got more to say about this, but
Speaker 2: I've got to take a break before I do that.
Speaker 2: My friends, let me remind you, if you are looking
Speaker 2: looking in this economic disaster in this high inflation economy.
Speaker 2: It's come down, but just this unstable economy, they're still
Speaker 2: higher than average inflation. It's still about twice what it
Speaker 2: was now under Trump in general. So there's just economic problems,
Speaker 2: political tensions. Maybe a good time to look at investing
Speaker 2: in gold, silver and precious metals. And even if things
Speaker 2: go well, even if things are back to normal, if
Speaker 2: Trump wins, I hope and pray that that does happen,
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that it's still not a good time
Speaker 2: to look at doing an investment in gold, simply because
Speaker 2: of diversification purposes. So Harvard Goldgroup is who we partner
Speaker 2: with on this program. Harvard Gooldgroup dot com slash Todd.

Speaker 2: code Todd quick timeout is in order, my friends, sit tight.
Speaker 2: Back here in a minute, my friend. So the battle
Speaker 2: lines have been drawn in this new political realignment. Cholsey
Speaker 2: Gabber Robert F. Kennedy Jr. RFK Jr. They are on
Speaker 2: the side that says enough with Donald Trump enough. Now.
Speaker 2: They may not be, especially RFK Jr. They may not
Speaker 2: be in unison with Trump on every issue. In fact,
Speaker 2: RFK made it a point to say he's not again,
Speaker 2: he's against Trump on some of these issues, but Trump
Speaker 2: is right on some of these core issues. Government, stop
Speaker 2: infringing upon the rights of your citizens to speak freely,
Speaker 2: to talk about concerns about election integrity, election fraud. Don't
Speaker 2: police what can be said. Don't talk to us about
Speaker 2: hate speech as though hate that. Look, I'm not defending
Speaker 2: hate speech, but surely people can understand that the people
Speaker 2: who can identify and the people who can define what
Speaker 2: is hate speech have a lot of power. And if
Speaker 2: you say it's hate speech to say that a politician
Speaker 2: is a joker in clown, as I do, then that
Speaker 2: certainly inhibits our ability to engage in political discourse and
Speaker 2: to fight about these issues. And suddenly the side that's
Speaker 2: determining what is quote unquote hate speech has a major advantage.
Speaker 2: Surely we could agree on that reality and that truth,
Speaker 2: and so people like RFK Junior Tulsa Gabbard. They've said, enough,
Speaker 2: enough enough of using the CDC to do all kinds
Speaker 2: of crazy stuff, inexcusable behaviors, inexcusable infringe infringements upon your
Speaker 2: liberty during COVID. Enough of that. No more of that,
Speaker 2: No more of telling us that the government is using
Speaker 2: its legitimate oversight to, you know, make sure that the
Speaker 2: things that Americans are being sold to eat are actually healthy.
Speaker 2: Enough of that stuff, enough of abusing and paying off
Speaker 2: or just manipulating the system to be used against the
Speaker 2: interests of American American citizens. Enough of it. Enough of it.
Speaker 2: Then on the other side, you've now got what two
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight Republicans who used to work either
Speaker 2: for Mitt Romney, John McCain or George W. Bush, people
Speaker 2: who I would maintain are the very problem. You know,
Speaker 2: These are the rhinos. Like I know, Bush tried to
Speaker 2: position himself as what was it, the compassionate Conservative, and
Speaker 2: there were things that I liked about Bush. I don't
Speaker 2: want to now Mitt Romney, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: politically speaking, I can't. There's very little about Mitt Romney
Speaker 2: that I like. I think Mitt Romney is the epitome
Speaker 2: of what's wrong with Republicans. I think John McCain also
Speaker 2: had a lot of problems, and these guys were rhinos.
Speaker 2: They often crossed the aisle. I'm not against cooperating with people,
Speaker 2: but I am against I am against compromising principles and values,
Speaker 2: and that's what they've done. Bush was not as bad
Speaker 2: as that, but I mean, there's a lot of problems
Speaker 2: on Bush's on Bush's watch, you know, I'm one, Look,
Speaker 2: the war on Terror was justifiable and understandable, but you
Speaker 2: start getting into things like the war in Iraq, and
Speaker 2: there's questions there and just war. Right, It's one of
Speaker 2: the things that Kennedy and Trump voters agree upon, or
Speaker 2: Kennedy and Trump agree upon, which is enough of these
Speaker 2: endless wars. By the way, we just got through yesterday
Speaker 2: was the marked the three year mark of when we
Speaker 2: when Biden had the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan leading to
Speaker 2: the deaths of thirteen American service members. Didn't even bother
Speaker 2: showing up at the memorial service. Trump did, Kamala didn't,
Speaker 2: nor did Biden. Biden's on another vacation. Biden, it's actually
Speaker 2: a good place for Biden. I mean, just just stay
Speaker 2: in the vacation home through the end of this term.
Speaker 2: Let's just not have any more policies or any more
Speaker 2: things that happened, and let's let's pray that we have
Speaker 2: no more conflicts or anything between now and then. Let's
Speaker 2: just get out of this administration. But this is this
Speaker 2: is where the battle lines are drawn, my friends. It's
Speaker 2: for people who believe the government should grow, people that
Speaker 2: believe the government should have more authority, which includes I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, it includes the Rhinos, it includes those Republicans.
Speaker 2: They they're not as bad as the as the lovers
Speaker 2: of big government on the left, but they still think
Speaker 2: you're stupid. They still think they know better. They're embarrassed
Speaker 2: by Trump. This is not the way that it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be. The media attaxus whatever else. And so they
Speaker 2: sign over their souls to Kamala Harris. Anyone who's signed
Speaker 2: over an endorsement to Kamala Harris has revoked their ability
Speaker 2: to say with the straight face that they're a conservative.
Speaker 2: That is absolutely absurd and ridiculous. She is truly comrade, Kamala.
Speaker 2: She is the daughter of a Marxist, She is a
Speaker 2: arguably has Marxist tendencies as it is so the battle
Speaker 2: lines have been drawn. Which side are we going to?
Speaker 2: Which side is America gonna choose? That's the question that
Speaker 2: we're going to find out, my friends here as I
Speaker 2: wrap up the program, if you're looking for ways to
Speaker 2: take care of your body beyond diet and exercise, you
