Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative not Bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to the right. Here's your Conservative but Not Bitter host, Todd Huff. Greeting's, my friends, and welcome to today's episode of Conservative Not Bitter Talk here on the Todd Huff Show. It is a pleasure to be here.

You know the routine. If you want to be part of the conversation, email Todd at totoffshow dot com or text three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. Just make sure, my friends, that you make it count. Make it This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Make it count, and always always be sure to include the appropriate amount of adoration and praise. So I've got a SoundBite that I want to start today's program with Trump was on squawk Box. This was on Monday. He makes a statement that

I want to talk about. It's things that we've talked about before on this program as well. I think it's important in understanding Trump his approach to politics. His quote unquote ideology, if you will, And these things are relevant especially as we head into this campaign and really just the if someone truly just wants to understand Trump, which I'm amazed that people just well I'm not amazed. I know what we're up against here. People don't want to really understand

Trump if they are against him. Instead, they just want to oppose him, demonize him, and all that sort of stuff. So we'll get to that here as we kick off the program, and also talk about we've now got Trump v. Biden too, right, this is Trump v. Biden two after the primaries of yesterday, the once all the final delegates are counted, both candidates should have enough to officially be their party's respective nominee. So we'll get to that and a lot of other stuff in today's news as well.

But my friends, I know that you like to be prepared. As a conservative, you like to take responsibility for those things that you're responsible for. That's called being an adult. That's called adulting, as the younger generation might say. So if you want to be prepared in the event of a natural disaster, a power outage, some sort of a food shortage, some sort of a supply and demand problem that could certainly hit any particular industry,

which we see. We saw some of this happen, especially back in the COVID era. But if you want to be prepared, then I would encourage you to check out four patriots dot com. That's the number four Patriots with ns dot com slash huff.

Make sure you put that slash huff to get access to those discounts and specials that we have well that you have as listeners here to this program.

So Monday, Trump was on with Squawkbox. Now this is actually I think a clip. Well, squat Box was playing a clip of another individual speaking about Trump on CNBC and so Squawkbox asks Trump about this, and Trump goes on to make a statement. Trump makes a statement that I've said this on this program before, and I've talked about the differences between someone who is an

ideological conservative and someone who is not. And Trump, in this answer, in his response to this question, in response to this clip that Squawkbox played for him, says, I'm not a conservative. I'm a man of common sense. And you'll here in this statement in Trump's quote that he also says that some are a lot or I forget how much he quantifies as as being of conservative policies qualify as just being common sense. But I've said on this

program before that Trump is not an ideological conservative. He often finds himself aligning with conservative principles and values. And I would even say, I would even say more so over the course of his political evolution, if you will. I don't think Trump ever, Trump's a practical businessman. Trump, if he wants a property in a certain city or whatever, he says, how does that get done? Just tell me the facts, tell me how it gets

done, and I'll do whatever I can to accommodate that. And so that's why Trump used to donate to people like Bill and Hillary Clinton or whoever else, whoever else ran for office, both sides of the Trump did not think about the world in an ideological or through an ideological lens. I would maintain that he still doesn't. He sees it through a practical a practical prism. You know, if we've got someone who's over there rattling the saber, we're

gonna say, knock it off. We're gonna tell NATO. This is Trump's approach. You know, carry your your share of your obligation to fund the defense of Europe, say from for example, Putin and Russia, and we're gonna deal with this as we would deal with this in the on the playground as second and third graders. We'd walk up to the bully and say, knock it off, or you're gonna have problems on your hands. And that's

Trump's approach. And interestingly, he's right in saying that a lot of conservative policies are I mean, you would say, are naturally just an extension of

common sense. Now, but you have to do thinking. You know, I've said on this program for a long time, even long before I had this program, I've said that one of the struggles that conservatives have in a world, by the way, in a world that wants sound bites and snippets and clips, and they want ten seconds of entertainment, and then move on, scroll on to the next thing that, by the way, reminds me

of TikTok. There is pressure, of course in Congress, in our government to ban or to at least force the cell of TikTok from the Chinese Communist Party, because people think that this is a dangerous, addictive platform that's being manipulated by well by the Communist Party to infiltrate and to influence young people into becoming anti American communist whatever. I'm gonna set that aside for a moment.

I'm just going to tell you that there's an op ed. I went ahead and put a link to Today's Mike Mike Pins wrote an op ed about this. I put that on today's show notes. I probably won't have time to discuss that, but talking about ten seconds of attention or ten seconds of entertainment, and then he scrolled to the next thing. That's the world that we live in. I just thought that came to mind as I was speaking here,

So you can see that if you want to read it. You can visit the website todt haveshow dot com and just go to the stack of stuff. So, but back to this conversation about Trump not being a conservative, and to the larger question or the larger picture that Americans that we as conservatives have, and I guess persuading Americans to understand conservative, well, forget about

conservative. But it is truth. Conservatism as I see it, as I as I see it is a step towards living in agreement, in alignment with truth, because the truth is, my friends, The truth is that we are created in the image of God, with certain unalienable rights, and that we are ultimately held to account by Him, not some government. We are created to live in freedom, not under the dictates and mandates of some government.

Whatever form the government takes, whether it's a monarchy, whether it's something that's more aggressive and authoritarian and oligarchy, it doesn't matter. We are We are all equal in the eyes of God. Some people might be better at well certain Certainly, some people are better at certain things. Some people are better at being parents. Some people are better at making money. Some people are better at filling the blank, putting balls through baskets, scoring touchdowns,

performing on the stage, whatever. But we all have our gifts. We all have our gifts plural, and we all have the ability to to pursue those dreams or to put those gifts to use as we see fits. And we are in constant battle as free people against those that want to lord over us, those that want to control, those that want to be elected or

be put into positions of power. However they get there to say no, you can't do that, to have the position of honor, the position of just you know, people that have people applaud them for their accomplishments, they want to shake hands and kiss babies and all that sort of stuff. And so we're at war, a constant struggle between the nature of government to grow and the nature the desire, the yearning of mankind, of humanity to live freely. That's how we were created by God himself to live. And so

conservatism is a step in to that reality. And there's a lot of facets to that, and I think we can't get into all of them, but suffice it to say, suffice it to say that common sense and conservatism go hand in hand. The problem. The problem lies oftentimes with the reality that conservative principles require an explanation. Conservative principles, while they are common sense,

we have to use our sense. We can't just It's not just something that we wake up and say, Wow, I feel like I want to do X. That's what liberalism is. Liberalism is just a mix of feelings where people say, Oh, I don't like that, make a law against it, or wow, I really like that, make a law so that we have to do that. I've overly simplified, but you get the idea. Conservatism is a thinking man's or a thinking woman's pursuit, and so it is

an extension of It is common sense. It is following common sense, but it requires people to think, and we are and a distinct disadvantage in a sound bite culture because it always requires an explanation when you're talking about conservatism. It require it requires maybe a story, It requires an understanding of maybe human nature, the nature of government, or what have you, in order to get to some of these conclusions. But it is there for those that want

to seek common sense. But Trump doesn't think about it to that degree. I am confident, and I think history bears out that most times, most times, given the opportunity, given the time, Trump absolutely comes down on the side of conservatism. Not always, but for the vast majority of the time. In fact, I remember back in twenty sixteen, one of the biggest fears of conservatives regarding Trump was not me, but of others, was

what if He's just like Hillary? Which was bizarre to me because his opponent was Hillary. So in the worst case scenario, he was going to be Hillary. Now, I thought there was no evidence for that. I wasn't concerned about that, but some people were. And I thought, in your worst case scenario were everything that you thought about Trump and the negative had to come true, and everything that you might have thought about him and the positive

had to not be the case. Then and only then would he become as bad as Hillary. So why would you Why would you vote for Hillary over him? When Hillary was the worst case scenario for Trump? And so Trump has consistently consistently come down on the side of conservatism, the side of limited government. Folks. He cut remember he cut bureaucracy. For every what was it, For every one new federal government rule, you had to cut three.

Remember they cut the side. They had stacks of papers showing us how much or how many regulations and so forth, bureaucrat rules had been cut, he cut taxes. These are things that are not done by the way by authoritarians and lovers of big government. But it is common sense if you think

about it, and if you pursue it in an unbiased way. Now that being said, that being said, it is important that we understand our conservatism and we are able to communicate it as efficiently, as effectively, as succinctly as possible. So I want to play this SoundBite, but before I do that, and let me remind you about our friends at my Pillow, my pillow dot com, slash Todd, my pillow dot com, slash Tom Todd,

not Tom, don't go to Tom. Go to slash Todd, MyPillow dot com, slash Todd promo code Todd, and you can shop their pillows. They have a variety of styles of pillows. In fact, we've got each of us here in the huff household, our three kiddos and my wife. We all have our own my pillow. In fact, I grabbed our daughters the other night, our youngest daughter, Audrey, and she basically told me, hey, man, don't be using She told me, I love my my pillow. Don't be using my my pillow, dad, that's mine.

It's my my pillow. I said, hey, I'm sorry for doing it. It was just right here and it was a comfortable move on my part. But she basically put the kaibosh on that. But anyhow, you can go. You can shop pillows. But it's not just pillows, it's slippers. We like our slippers. My wife loves her slippers. It's one of her favorite products. They've also got bed sheets. They have deep pockets that won't come off the mattress. They're soft, nice bed sheets. The

towels are amazingly soft and they actually will dry you off. We also have a dog bed. Oh yes, our two dogs, Tango and Echo, they share a dog bed. In fact, Echo, who has a an aversion to the dog crate when we have to put her in there. It's actually made it a little bit easier to have that my pillow dog bed in there. So shop for yourself and see what you might like to have.

And you're supporting a conservative patriot along the way, someone who's, by the way, been canceled in almost every conceivable way by big box stores, even by by Foxnews. MyPillow dot Com slash Todd promo code Todd again my pillow dot com slash Todd promo code Todd. So let's listen here to this clip. This is Trump being interviewed on squawk Box. But at the beginning of the clip, you're gonna hear another sound bite that the host of Squawkbox is

asking Trump about. But I want you to hear this conversation, and I want you to hear it and think about what we've just been talking about the difference between between ideological conservatism but also just arriving at conservative principles using good old fashioned common sense. Here is the club. Trump wins that it's going to be four years of getting even, and that's scary because we've got serious issues

coming up that need to be addressed. What do you think of that, mister President, because I think that there is a feeling that there is still an anger and a frustration that you have about certain issues. Well, look, I've never been a fan of Ken I don't know if he supported me. Maybe he supported me because I was the only one that he could support, because that's the reason. But I've never been a fan. I've been

a fan of Bernie Marcus, a big fan of Bernie. Marcus is a big fan of mine, and that was the side I chose, And frankly, you know, he's right in one sense. People think that there's going to be revenge, and I say, no, the revenge is going to be success. They're not going to be revenge in a revenge stance. It's really going to be success. We're going to turn our country around. We're going to bring sense and common sense. You know, people say you're conservative.

I'm not conservative. You know what I am. I'm a man of common sense and a lot of conservative policies are common sense. Okay, so you get the idea. I'm not a conservative, he says, I just have common sense. But a lot of conservative policies have common sense, are based upon common sense. So that was a sound bite, by the way, that was on Fox. I didn't as I was getting this ready, I heard the music cue once the talking spoke as I was getting ready for

today's program. I didn't know there was a soft music bed during the entire entire clips. So hopefully the music was very soothing to you as you listen to that today. But this is important to understand, right, and I want to say a couple of things. Number One, you know that one of my passions is to well, in fact, if you look at the mission of this program, the mission of this program is to help people hear and receive truth. Now, I want to be clear, we don't have

it all figured out. Now. I understand if you think that we do. It's a very common mistake for people to make. We got it all figured out over there the Todd huff Show. I get it. But the truth is we don't know everything. But the things that are true, the things that are bedrock foundational principles that we should be building not just our society on, but also our lives on as individuals, those things we better we better make sure that we understand them. We better make sure that we clearly

identify them and we start building upon them. That is an important thing to do. And having a discussion or thinking through these issues is an important I would say, well first step. But it's not just you and I understanding them. It's our ability to convince other people that they are true, that they are worth building a culture, a society upon, our individual lives upon.

And this is this requires a different of skills. Because people are skeptical people are resistant sometimes especially remember they've been living under under the heavy hand, under the thumb of the seven pillars of propaganda. Those seven pillars are propaganda. Wake up every day. Actually they don't sleep, but in the to

the extent that they quote unquote wake up. They wake up every day with the intent to manipulate people to come to decisions that government needs to grow, that freedom needs to shrink, and that the people that are running these seven pillars are propaganda. Even though they don't want people to think about this specifically, but they want them to basically trust them more and boost them up to more and more positions of more and more prominence and power. That's what their

daily objective is. It's NonStop, and people are subjected to that all the time. It's in education, it's in the media, it's in government. They're fed this stuff. So a lot of people have no idea this is going on, and yet this is where they this is what we're fighting against. And so there's some things that Trump is actually saying here that are kind

of important. I think it's actually kind of brilliant, at least as I think about persuading or talking about conservative principles with other folks, and we're going to talk about that in the next segment. So but let me tell you here before we take a break and head into that next segment. My friends,

it is time to crush your vice nick Knack Naturals. They're on a mission to help move nicotine consumers away from combustion, away from all forms of tobacco, away from all forms of vaping, and help people move towards a less harmful alternative. Nicknack Naturals is one hundred percent all natural. It's a non tobacco form of nicotine. There's no smoke, no spit, no slime pounch, no bad breath, no teeth stains. It's discreete it's odorless.

You can crush your vice with nick Nack Naturals. Visit nick knack dot com today. That's ic in ac dot com, n i c nac dot com, nick knack dot com. Crush your vice now. This again is for folks twenty one years of order, and this is specifically for folks who are currently using nicotine products. This is a cleaner, better alternative to some of those less healthy forms of nicotine. Nick Knack dot com, n i c

nac dot com. So need to wrap up here this first segment and set the stage again for the next segment, which is a continuation of what we just listened to with Trump there, and I want to talk about some of the things that he has done there, maybe knowing lyric, maybe not. I don't know. It's probably again natural to him, but when it comes to persuading people to conservative principles, actually done a few things very well there. So sitsight, my friends. We'll do that on the other side of

the break back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Before the break we were while we played that SoundBite from Trump where he said, Hey, I'm not a conservative. I'm not a conservative, but conservative principles are often common sense. Now some folks who are conservative, I, of course am conservative and very very not bitter. You may be the same way, and you might be concerned about this. Wait a minute, what Trump? What's Trump up to here? Well, the truth is that Trump

is I think, just being candid about his worldview and ideology. I think that this is a very fair assessment. I've said for a long time. I think we all know that Trump is not an ideological conservative, but he ends up on the conservative side of issues most time simply because well that's where common sense takes you. But he's done some things here that I think are important that we can learn from. First and foremost, he's he made a point. Now, we're in a very divided time frame, right, We're

in a very divided country. Everything is political. What you eat, what you drink, what you drive, what you where you work, where you live, all of this stuff very very political time and it's so bad in some places. Now it's not that way here. It's probably not that way. Well, when I say here, I mean on this show, I actually want I actually want people who don't agree with me to listen to this program. And if you've tuned in to this program and you're listening to it,

you got to give it a little time. Got to give it a little time to just get used to what's happening here. Familiarize yourself with what we're talking about. Couple of weeks and you'll have a pretty good idea of the format and just I don't know some of them, maybe even some of the inside jokes or whatever. You just get familiarized and comfortable in a good way. But I want you tuning in here. I think that that's a

good thing. I think that you'll learn things even if you don't agree, which I don't know why you wouldn't agree, but I think that that's a very very common result, a very very common well outcome, I guess.

So I like that. But in talking, especially in a one on one setting or even in a if we're trying to take the time to convince people of certain ideas and get them to understand and accept these truth is that we have had revealed to us, have taught to us, that we have come to know and accept, then there's some basic things that we can do, and one of them is one of them is to stay away from the labels, because these labels carry such a powerful emotional that they can be very powerful

emotionally for folks, and they often mean different things to different people. In fact, if you were to ask, if you were to ask the average person to define conservative, liberal, whatever, I think, you would get a whole lot of different explanations, and some of them would be wrong. In fact, what's really interesting to me is that as a conservative, I would tell you that I'm a classical liberal, which might blow some of your minds. But a classical liberal used to be well. They used to.

The term liberal used to mean someone who believed in largely conservative principles and concepts. Today, individual liberty, due process, things like that, which I am very much. That's I would say that classical liberalism has become modern conservatism or libertarianism to a large extent as well. I think there's some couple of things that I would maybe differ on from an issue perspective with that with straight

libertarianism or what has become in practice in a lot of places. But largely these are concepts, These are ideologies that say individuals and individual liberty is paramount. That's what we need to be fighting for. That's largely what I mean when I use those terms. But people don't always see it that way. Some people might think libertarianism might mean I don't know, open borders or pot

smoking, just as an example. Some people might think conservatism means wanting people to control what goes on or wanting the government to control what goes on in your bedroom, and that of course is not true, but that's perspectives. That's what people often times think. And again they could be victimized by the

seven pillars of propaganda. They could just have a basic misunderstanding. Maybe they've met people who identify themselves as libertarian or a conservative or whatever who have embodied these sorts of beliefs, and they get these things get conflated. I don't know. There's any number of ways. But if you're really trying to persuade somebody, which Trump is in that mindset now right, if you think about it from Trump's perspective, the perspective is, hey, I've wrapped up the

Republican nomination. I've got, of course, some criminal trials and so forth that I'm dealing with, but this is it's Trump v. Biden too, and it's time for me to start campaigning to get people who are maybe undecided as to who they're going to vote for now. A real conservative, a

real Republican knows Donald Trump is who they're going to vote for. If it's Trump v. Biden too, Maybe you preferred Nicki Haley, maybe you preferred Ron DeSantis, maybe you preferred the vek Ramaswami some other candidates during the primary

process. But if your choices are Trump and Biden and you're truly conservative, and you're truly even Republican, I don't again, I got a lot of problems with Republicans, the Republican Party, but it is the home like it or not, it is the home of the largest, well the largest part of the conservative movement that has political what I want to say, political influence,

political power. That's the This is the party that the republic that the Conservatives excuse me, are going to have to work with or work through in order to politically advance their positions in this country when elections and so forth. So so, the Trump has secured that nomination, secured enough delegates, there's no one that's running against him, and so now it becomes an issue of

winning those people who aren't certain. And so if you aren't certain at this point in a Trump v. Biden to campaign, I have no idea how you get there really other than to say other than to say that, well, you're not principally principally conservative, you're not. You know, this goes back to twenty before twenty twenty, right, the twenty twenty campaign. So

for a year before that it was Trump v. Biden. So we're looking at a campaign that's largely run for five years now, and if you don't know who you're going to vote for, it's going to take some additional there's got to be something new interjected to the campaign, or Trump's going to have to make his points in a different way to attract some of these voters.

And by saying I don't consider myself a conservative to a conservative, that might make you want a gasp because you think, wait a minute, did we just get baited and switched here? I think it's actually probably I wouldn't go that far to say I'm not a conservative, But I can also understand what he's trying to do, which is appeal to people who maybe have just a

block to that word, a block to that term. And I also believe that Trump doesn't consider himself that, even though he typically ends up at the same conclusion that conservatives do. So that's an important point to keep in mind. And I think it's important to think about when we're dealing with people individually and persuading them, if we stay away from some of those labels, stay away from some of the you know, the politics of personalities, don't get

into if you're trying to persuade someone to be conservative. It's a good idea to not get into a heated argument over something that Trump said or did or whatever, because these are the sorts of things, the labels, the personal identities, these are the things that people It's easier for someone to accept the ideology and then over time realize they're in the same place as people like Trump.

Then to try to get them to conservatism through Trump if they hate Trump, or candidly through yours truly, if they hate me, I'm a little little guy here. But if they hate me, don't use me or something I said, to try to convince them find something that they don't bristle up at is the point. So I think that that's some important things. I think that's what's going on here. But I also think that it's true that Trump is not a principled conservative. So gonna take a break care squaring up

for the last segment of the hour here. But did you know, my friends, that gold has outperformed the S and P. Five hundred and the doall since nineteen seventy one when the US took the dollar off the gold standard. You have to ask yourself, is that a coincidence? When the government allowed people, yes, that's right, allowed the people to own gold again.

They reclassified gold as a commodity rather than a paper currency backstop. Even though the US itself hoards and holds the highest amounts of physical gold in its reserve, all countries, all central banks, major institutions, and even the IMF itself own substantial gold holdings. If all these entities that control our fiat paper money system have physical gold, shouldn't you consider it as well? If that's the case, my friends, visit Harvardgoldgroup dot com. Harvard Goldgroup dot

com. Use promo code todd. You'll get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit. Harvard Gooldgroup dot com promo code todd for that two hundred and fifty dollars credit. So gonna take a quick break here when we get back, I want to get into one more thing before we wrap up for the hour. My friends, sit tight, you're listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host Hot Huff back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So, I don't know if you saw Biden's proposed budget,

which I guess. First off, kudos to them for actually putting together a budget. We normally just manage spending government spending at the phoederal level crisis to crisis, don't really put much thought into a national I remember the days when we would debate the national budget. Now it's basically, oh my goodness, we got four days to come up with some spending plan, or Congress is

going to shut down. The government's going to shut down. People aren't gonna get their services, They're not going to get their Social Security checks, the military isn't going to get paid. Whatever it is, right, that is what has become the norm. So I guess kudos for those of you that say I don't ever say kudos to the Biden administration, which I really never do. It's pretty pathetic, if I'm being quite candid with you. But I guess kudos to them for taking the time to put together a budget.

But did you know that Biden's twenty twenty five budget would drive listen to this, would drive the national debt to forty five trillion dollars in ten years. Forty five trillion, folks. We are getting to the point, we are getting to the point we're have to learn a new word in our vocal. It's not a new word, but a new word in our common, everyday vernacular. We're getting close to having to refer to the amount of debt in

this country as a quarter of a quadrillion dollars. We're getting close to that point. But the forty five trillion, I'm looking here, by the way, this is in the stack of stuff. This is in just thenews dot com. Watch this is the headline watch Dog. Biden's twenty twenty five budget would drive national debt to forty five trillion dollars in ten years, one hundred and six percent of the GDP. So the debt, think about this would

be more. We would owe more debt than what the entire US economy produces in one year. Let me say that again, the debt. If Congress just rot rubber stamped Biden's budget, his twenty twenty five budget, it would drive national debt to forty five trillion dollars in ten years, and that would be one hundred and six percent of the gross domestic product. I mean, it's crazy to think that one hundred and six percent of the gross domestic product.

Now, for those who don't believe that we have a spending problem, I mean this this should Again, there's lots of other things that should have done it prior to this, but this should make it abundantly clear that the problem we face the problems that we face in this country. They when it comes to spend, well, when it comes to balancing the budget deficit and all this sort of stuff, federal debt, it is one hundred percent. This is a we have a spending problem, my friends. We don't have

a revenue problem. This is after Biden's already trying to stick it to businesses and then target the wealthy with tax law, which is reprehensible in and of itself. If you start how many billionaires are there in America? As can you look that up real fast? There's not too many. If you find yourself up there on the campaign stage or campaign trail saying I want to make it so that billionaires, well you got to love what they say pay their

fair share, which what the world is that supposed to mean. These jokers and clowns are the ones, the ones in DC. They've written the tax code. If they don't like the tax code, they shouldn't have written it as it was. Biden has been in office. There's more than I thought. I thought there were four hundred. There's seven hundred and fifty six. That's the US billionaire's eyes, seven hundred and fifty six billionaires in America.

So you could almost if they wanted to, they could do this. Biden could say, I want to change increased taxes on Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk or whoever he could listen names. Just we're down to seven hundred and fifty six. That's reprehensible to me. The founders would be absolutely mortified if they knew this sort of stuff, this sort of stuff was going on. But this is now applauded. This is applauded. Yeah, make them pay their

fair share. Well, okay, then don't write tax law that lets them do things that protects their money and their wealth from I'm not out there trying to argue for higher taxes for people. But Biden's been there for half a century. He's acting as though he has literally nothing to do with this.

He's been there for half a century. Of course he does. If any one person has the most to do with this in American politics today, Biden's got to be in the top couple because he's simply been there for his entire

life. We have a spending problem in government, and that, of course, is an unpopular thing for a politician to deal with because that means you gotta cut and that means you're gonna have to cut some sort of spending that someone in your con constituency actually actually has coming in every month or every year or whatever. And so that's the problem that we face with these jokers and clowns in Congress. This is really what we're up against as far as that

goes. But we have a spending problem forty five trillion in debt if we adopt his budget. Of course, hopefully the House, well who knows in this world, but they won't pass it in the House. But nonetheless, that's the trajectory of the left is trying to put us on. I gotta go though, my friends, have a great day. SDG.
