Just be aware that message and data rates may apply from your carrier, not from the one behind this microphone. My

friends, is a pleasure to be here. Help you had a wonderful weekend, and let's get right to it. Crisis averted. I guess if you want to look at it that way, the federal government has been saved. It has been saved. It is going to go another forty five days before, we repeat the same saga, the same tensions, the same exaggerations, the same posturing, and all this stuff where a group of politicians pretends that they have your best interest at heart, or they're trying to solve the actual

problems in our nation to keep the government, of course functioning. Meanwhile, they're going to ignore, they're going to continue to ignore the real root causes. And you know, I left this program on Friday actually thinking that it was going to shut down. I thought that it was going to there was going to be a government shutdown. A few days prior, I said that McCarthy would capitulate, which is still how I more or less see this this

happening. So I thought we were going to actually hit the shutdown, but we didn't. We didn't hit the shutdown, so we extended it by forty five days. What's that put us around Thanksgiving time? Right? Is that right? Thirty Yeah, roughly mid November, mid November, we'll be having this fight again. We'll be talking about all the things that no one is going to be able to do because the government of course wants to inflict pain. They want this to hurt, they want to shut down to her as

many people as they can, so long as those people aren't them. By the way, they still want to get their paychecks, they still want to be out there trying to be important and so forth. But they wanted to hurt as many people as possible. In fact, got a good friend. In fact, you know him. You would know him on this program if you go back to the early days of this program. Oh boy. In fact, I've been tempted on a couple of occasions. I have actually thought

it's time to bring Jay Dot back. Jay Dot and his patented three and three's you might remember Jay Dot would take. This was a game he and I played. Boy, this is gonna say, this is the true story. I remember being probably let's see, it would have been roughly two thousand six eight ten something like that, So this has been fifteen to almost twenty

years ago now. But I used to text we were tech, and I would text him three politically or culturally relevant terms of the day, and then he sometimes he would get a bonus word and he would get three minutes after the text, so there would be an intro text like the text said, hey man, you got a minute? Yeah, man, what's going on? Would be the reply. So I would text in the three the three words and say, hey, you got three minutes. Man, you're on

the clock. I expect in three minutes you to call me back and put this these three words. And it could be anything. It could be it was again politically or culturally relevant to the news of the day. And then he would call me back and leave me a voicemail with the music. I've got some of these. Now I don't have all of them, but I've got some of them. And we did that on this program. It's fun. It's just something to kind of mix it up. So but he ja

Dot who has a family. Now we've all been forced to grow up two things that men do instead of children, I guess. But anyway, we still do some of the things children do as well. But he was planning taking a family trip here and was asking. One of the things that he likes to do is go to national parks with his family, and they were planning on hitting a couple I believe, on this trip, and he was wondering, is it going to be open? You know, if we go

to the national park, is it going to be open? Now, if you've been to a national park, I'm a fan. My family is a fan of national parks. We've been to a decent amount, but not nearly all of them. In fact, we've not hit the bigger ones out west yet. That's something we actually would like to do. God willing and time permitting here as we get back on the road with the truth tour has hit

some of these parks. But anyway, if you've been to a park, and again I'm not saying that there's no work to be done, but I am saying this, there's no reason, there is no reason that a park cannot be open if the government's shut down. The idea that government employees are the only thing that makes seeing I don't know, yo Semite National Park or I'm trying to think some of the ones Carlsbad Cavern for example, I don't

know. I'm just picking some of the ones Everglades. You need a staff on site in order for you to go to these parks anyway, But the reason is, remember they still get paid if there's a shutdown. Congress still gets paid. Military Nope, other federal workers not so much. National parks. I think Trump made an arrangement to where the national parks would stay open. The last time that this stuff happened anyway, but they try to make

it noticeable for the average person because a lot of people don't notice. Now, for those that will notice, if there is a shutdown, it can be temporarily painful. And may this serve as a warning. May this serve as a warning if your pay would get disrupted because of a shutdown, probably should plan for that. Probably should plan for that because we're going to be moving headlong into this in the next forty five days. And I know, I know that the government does not make it easy on any of us to

afford things. It's hard for the average person right now to save money because everything's been driven through the roof as far as the cost goes. Although the Biden administrations out there telling us now that inflation is now at a level that is what did they say? It's a sustainable fiscal path core inflation, which is just they like to complicate it so that nobody really knows what they're saying. They just want to have some good news anyway. So we've got a

government shutdown that's been pushed out for about forty five days. One of the two stories I want to get to off of this. The first one I just want to hit on quickly. Matt Gates has indicated that Speaker Kevin McCarthy had better get ready. He's giving him notice that he is going to make a motion to vacate the chair. Now what does that mean? If you want to go back in history about what do we the October's what? The oct means eight, but it's the tenth month of the year. Octagon is

eight. So I'm that's another story for another day. Oct means eight, but it's the tenth month of the year. And so go back to the beginning of the year when Republicans got control. Right, in November of twenty two, a year ago, almost Republicans were voted in to control the House of Representatives. Even though they did not win as many seats as they had hoped, as they had projected, they still won an excuse me, a

majority of those seats, which means that they could have a speaker. Now you remember this if you listen to this program, or if you followed the news at the time, because we talked about this. There were some holdouts on supporting It was such a small majority that there was a problem getting enough

Republicans to support McCarthy. For speaker, and there were a key group of holdouts, and McCarthy kept making concessions or agreeing to some of the demands if you will, of these holdouts, and they would come over sometimes in groups and so forth. Matt Gates was one of the last ones to come over. Lauren Bobert was one of the last ones to come over as far as supporting his speakership. They eventually did Speaker McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy became Speaker McCarthy.

But one of the things that they negotiated, one of the things that they said that they wanted to see in the new rules for the House of Representatives with this new Congress that took office back in January of this year, was the ability for a single member of the House of Representatives to make a motion, as they say, to quote vacate the chair. Make him motion

to vacate the chair. Now, what does that mean. That basically means that a single member of the House of Representatives, Republican can, single Republican can make a motion to say, I've lost confidence in the speaker and I would like to vote to basically have him removed. And so Matt Gates has now and I alluded to this last week, and just over the course of

time, I've mentioned this a couple of times. This has always been something that's hanging out there Matt Gates. There's no secret that Matt Gates and Speaker McCarthy do not get along, right. There's tension here. There's tension here, and of course I'm going to try to fairly assess this. I have an opinion, but basically I'm just trying to say the way that it's portrayed by both sides. Matt Gates is gonna say, McCarthy is someone who is

not really interested in pushing forward conservative principles and values. McCarthy says, Matt Gates has to learn that we can only deal with the realities in which we are able to operate in and Matt Gates's desire for more fiscal responsibility or whatever fill in the blank Speaker McCarthy would say, is impossible. Now, I will say this, part of the reason it would be quote unquote impossible is because we have speakers or leadership that doesn't really push it, that doesn't really

push it. I was won by the way that was on team Matt Gates as far as him doing what he did and the others that joined him by making sure McCarthy compromise negotiated with them. I thought that that was fine. I remember at the time, Remember, you know what, we don't even remember this now. I mean, you do if you follow this, but

the average person forgets this completely. I remember saying at the time, because the whole thing was, oh my goodness, McCarthy, Republicans that can't even get their own side to agree, this is a disaster, how embarrassing, blah blah blah. They got to get to the business of governing. And I said, and you knew that this was simply a situation that was going to not even be an issue in the future. Nobody remembers this. This is eons ago as it pertains to politics, right, no one remembers this.

It's totally irrelevant in helping decide who it is we're going to vote for. It didn't impact anything substantially except as far as the legislative agenda or anything else, because again, Republicans. It wasn't like Republicans lost a chance to legislate because they still had to get things passed and a democratically a democratically controlled Senate and past are signed by I should say, a Democrat presidency in president bribery. And so we know, we know that Matt Gates is actually the

one that got something out of that. I mean speak or McCarthy became speaker, so he got what he wanted. But Matt Gates also got what he wanted, which is to have the ability to vacate the chair. And I know McCarthy was out. I forget where I saw this. Maybe it was CNN, maybe it was somewhere else. McCarthy says, bringing on Matt Gates, let's have this fight, and Matt Gates is saying, I will bring it on because your leadership is reprehensible. It's weak or capitulating left and right.

We've kicked the can down the road yet again. And a lot of this, a lot of this comes down to spending, right, A lot of this comes down to spending, and there is just no political will. There's no political will to reign in spending really by either side. Now there are some people on the Republican side who have the political will, like a Matt Gates, but he's in the minority. There's more of them, I would say, Now, I don't know, you know, it's it's hard

to pin some of these folks down. But McCarthy, I don't think. I don't Kevin McCarthy. It's it's having a Republican speaker is infinitely better than Speaker Pelosi, right, there's no doubt about it. But Kevin McCarthy is not a principled conservative, and not only that, he's one that I don't think, really, I don't know. I don't want to say, I just I don't. I'm not impressed with his leadership here. I'm not.

I don't think that there's really you know, I think some people want the position and the accolades more than they want the responsibility that comes with the position.

I think that anyone who understands the gravity of the financial situation that we're in as a country understands that whatever temporary pain and discomfort is caused by a shutdown, if that actually gets us to actual cuts, which I'm not optimistic that that will, but if that is what it takes, my friends, the pain that comes from a government that continues to spend out of control is

infinitely worse than having a government shut down for a couple of weeks. And I don't even care a couple of days, a couple of weeks, whatever it turns out to be, a couple of months. Now, I know that that to some people is a big deal, and I want to be sensitive to that, because I'm not as glossing over that. But if this country continues on its path of massive, out of control spending and doesn't do

anything about it, it is catastrophic. It will implode. It cannot sustain it at some point, at some point, all of this stuff that we are pretending as though as a fantasy, all the money we've created out of nothing, all of the regulations, and all of the promises that we've made, the government's made to solve the world's problems and so forth, it's all gonna come due. It all has a price tag. It's all gonna come

do, and we don't have the means to repay it. And I don't even know if we start cutting stuff massively, if we've got the means to fix this. But at least it's a step in the right direction. We're talking trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, and it's the madness has to stop at some point. And I know that the pain of a shutdown is more imminent than this ambiguous idea of cataclysmic problems and a collapse of an economy and a collapse of a government, which, make no mistake, is the

path that we are on. I'm not saying it's next week. I'm not even saying it's in our lifetime, though it certainly could be. But that's the trajectory we are on. It will be infinitely worse for who ever has to face that reality and pay the piper versus those who have to deal with the temporary discomfort and even personal pain in some instances of a temporary shutdown. So Gates is gonna it sounds like up the anti here make emotion apparently in

the not too distant future to remove Speaker McCarthy. We will see what happens. We will see if this gets any traction. But Speaker McCarthy is no friend. I'm telling you he's closer. He's closer than Nancy Pelosi, obviously, but he is not a principled in the trenches warrior for constitutional conservatism and responsible limited governance. He's simply not. We've known that. None of this

is surprising. We've known this from the beginning. But again, it might just simply be the best leadership that we can get at the moment, which is pretty good. I mean, it's pretty pathetic if you think about it, to realize that we have all these problems and the best we can come up with is someone who effectively, in my estimation, is pretty much democrat light, not a principled conservative who's willing to do the hard work that it's

going to take to truly fix the problems in this great nation. I'm out of time. This segment really long. It's a Monday. What can I say, quick time out through my friends. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, Todd huff Back in a minute.

Back my friends. By the way, if you want to be prepared which it's always wise to be prepared in the event of a natural disaster, in the event of a power outage, in the event of a food shortage, or whatever else that these radical leftists running our government have in store for us at which, by the way, I don't know if you saw. I don't want to get into this. I just want to mention this the World Economic Forum. You know, these are the same jokers and clowns, and

this is a real real nefarious bunch. If you're not familiar with them, I would strongly encourage you get familiar with these folks. They make no secrets about what their intentions are. They were, in fact, they were kind of bemoaning the fact that they couldn't get everyone vaccinated for COVID, they can't get everyone to get hyper hysterical over man made climate change, and so they've actually got another thing that's always been on the radar, but that's coming.

I mean, you just this is just on the radar. Be prepared, but water crisis, water crisis. So just I'm just putting that out there because it's always good to be prepared, is my point. You never know what these jokers and clowns have in store for us next these the government, these groups like the World Economic Forum and so forth. So if you want to be prepared, encourage you go to four patriots dot com. The number four Patriots with ans dot com. For Patriots dot com, use promo code

crisis averted. Government's not going to shut down at least for another forty five days, and then we're gonna hear about that breathlessly hear around Thanksgiving and probably that's going to be taking someone's Thanksgiving dinner off off the table they're turkey and so forth. That's the manipulation and the psychological turmoil that these clowns and jokers create for people. It's just too much for me that they should not be

taken seriously. They should be taken seriously in the sense that they have power, unfortunately to ruin and impact people's lives, but they shouldn't be taken seriously in the sense that they really want to do anything about it besides empower themselves and enrich themselves, become tyrannical little dictators, set them up selves up with the cushy retirement plan and all this kind of stuff. This is who these folks are. There's some exceptions. Some of you would say there's no exceptions.

I'm still hopeful that there's some exceptions. I see some positive signs. But we got a real massive problem on our hands, there's no doubt about it. But in addition to the part of the discussion that involves Gates and his vow, I guess to vacate the chair to try to get rid of Speaker McCarthy. And then, by the way, on our stack of stuff page, if you want to go there, I've got a lot of articles

today. There's one article in particular that's got a list of I'm trying to find it here, a list of Bear with me, it's in here. Somewhere there's a list of people whose names have come up. If I would say, in the unlikely event, here it is here are some possible replacements and the unlikely event that the Speaker Kevin McCarthy is removed. So there's some people in there. I look, that's way down the road, but anyway,

that's there. I want to close the door on that for the moment, and I want to talk about something else that happened as Congress prepared to negotiate and vote on this deal to avert the shutdown, and involves a Democrat congressman named Jamal Brown from the state of New York. It involves him pulling a fire alarm at one of the House office buildings in Washington, DC,

right there on Capitol Hill. Not at the Capitol Building, but then one of the office buildings where members of the House will have meetings and so forth.

Apparently, as I understand it, anyway, apparently he's pulled the fire alarm, pulled the fire alarm moments before the House was set to approve a measure that postponed a government shutdown, and he claims that he thought, Oh my goodness, I think he's maybe, as I read this, I s tell him os this earlier he might be jockeying as a potential candidate to replace Biden on the ticket, because he said he thought that pulling the fire alarm

would open the door. That's what he said. I'm just telling you. I want to talk about this. Representative Marjorie Taylor Green basically said he needs to be prosecuted for violating the same law that the January sixth defendants were prosecuted for violating, which involves interrupting an official event, official government event. This representative, I mean, there's plenty to talk about with this, So I want to talk about it next segment because I gotta take a time out.

So that's where we're gonna go to next. Got plenty of articles in the stack of stuff and plenty of things to share with you about that on the other side of the break, my friends, sit tight back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friend. And so we quite literally had a Democratic Congressman by the name of Jamal Brown in the moments leading up to now remember the moments leading up to the vote on saving catastrophe catastrophe that would

come through the shutdown. I mean if, in fact, if you listened to Jamal Brown, representative from the state of New York, if you looked

at what he said prior to prior to pulling the fire alarm. So when it was politically expedient for this guy to go out there and to fear monger and to tell his constituents and the American people or whoever was listening to this dude, when he had the opportunity to share information with them, he decided that it was a good idea to try to scare the daylights out of them. In fact, and Internet's not cooperating my website here where I get my

stack of stuff. It's not loading quickly enough, but basically here it is. He said this, and I don't know if this was the tweets or if this is an actual quote. I think I read this at a tweet. He said, Republican math is causing a catastrophic shutdown that will force millions of working people to go without pay or life saving benefits. Life saving,

yeah, life saving benefits, and calling it fiscal responsibility. So the same guy that basically said that Americans are trying or excuse me, Republicans are trying to kill people because they wouldn't negotiate something to avoid a government shutdown, that same guy decided it made sense to him. That same guy decided it was a good idea to pull a fire alarm at the House Office building a short time before they were to vote on negotiating a settlement, negotiating an end to

this shutdown potential shutdown. So think about that. Now, there's pictures here. I got this article in the stack of stuff. Breitbart dot com headline here says, by the way, this guy was a former school principal. Former school principle Jamal Bowman. I thought pulling fire alarm would open the door. Now there's a long statement that they released and there's pictures. This is fantastic. By the way, this is documented pretty well, pretty well in

this in this article. So it shows a picture security surveillance, undoubtled the same security surveillance that they've used, well not the same footage, but the same camera potentially that they used to prosecute other people for entering the capitol. Maybe this is the capital I thought that. I thought I read that this was the House Office building. Anyway, so he's in an official government building. He walks in the door, he walks in, the door, comes

in. There are big red signs everywhere. They say emergency exit only push until alarm sounds. It looks like I can't read what that says. Doors will unlock in thirty seconds, and then once you get inside the doors, there's a fire alarm. You know, we all have seen these, a fire alarm, which a school principle, former school principles, should be very familiar with a former school principle. I mean these are all over These are

plastered all over school buildings. I read somewhere that in the state I don't know if it was in New York, but wherever he was a school principle, it was state law to have I think twelve fire drills a year, I think is what I read multiple. We'll just say multiple, multiple fire drills per year. And you would think that he would know what a fire alarm is. You would think that he would know that it has nothing to do with opening a door. I mean, friends, this is a little

red box on the wall. It's bright red. At the very top of it. It says in white letters against red as big as can fit on the box, this letter and font it could be no better bigger than this. It says fi R in case there's a leftists tuned in that spells fire, fire, fire, take it easy. I'm just having fun with you. But I'm telling you the leftists are doing stuff like this, and then they tell us stupid things like I thought it opened the door. What on

earth is this guy talking about? Then it says push in and hold that Scott arrows where you're supposed to push down on this lever or whatever you do here to to set off the fire alarm. Anybody who has a brain and who is trying to I don't know not set off a fire alarm, would not be touching and messing around with this thing, and you would certainly not think it was required to open the door. What on earth is going on

here? I thought the alarm would open the door, is what A senator, excuse me, a congressman from the state of New York set And this is moments before they were set to vote on avoiding right passing a piece of legislation that then went from the House to the Senate and was then signed into law, averting this crisis. A crisis he told us was going to kill

people. Republicans are out there trying to kill people if you listen to this guy, And before it's about to get signed and negotiated and agreed upon, this dude pulls the fire alarm. Then Marjorie Green Taylor or excuse me, Marjorie Taylor Green comes out and says, I think this guy should be prosecuted because his pulling the fire alarm interfered with official government business. Government business, by the way, according to his own words, that he says was a

matter of life and death. So why what is going on here? My friends? I mean, is it not reasonable to conclude? Is it not reasonable to conclude that this guy was trying to interfere with something that would have caused a delay in potentially negotiating a settlement to avoid a government shutdown, in which he could then later blame Republicans for quote, trying to kill people.

I mean, that's certainly, it's not he did not think The one thing I am certain of is that he did not think that this was involved in opening doors. If he did think that this was involved in opening doors, he either needs to run for the Democrat nominee for President of the United States because he's right up there on par with Joe Biden, or in a sane work, or he could run potentially moved to Pennsylvania and get up there and

have a rhetorical battle with John Fetterman. Maybe he can start warning shorts and hoodies on the floor of the House instead of the Senate. And this is the level of intellect we're talking about here. Now. I think that both Biden and Fetterman have health problems, and I think that that's terrible. But since they tell me that has nothing to do with their health, then I'm just going to, I guess, pretend and go along here and say that

that's just simply what their mental abilities are. And this guy seems to be right in line, right in line with that. What on earth is going on here? Says that he thought he was opening the door, pulling the fire alarm. Pulling the fire alarm apparently opens the door. No way that this is true, my friends, Absolutely zero percent chance. Quick time out back in a minute. Welcome back, my friends. There's another story to

piggyback on what we've been discussing so far today. This is at American wire News dot com again, as always, in our stack of stuff. Headline here MSNBC quote propagandists just reading the headline here dragged for generous take on house dim pulling fire alarm ahead a stop gap vote, basically what we've been talking

about, what we've been talking about here. And this lady, this person on ms NBC, I'm not even gonna try to pronounce yasmin oh boy, I'm not even gonna try something with the vivasa something she basically took the time to effectively. I guess defend, defend this, she said. But but if you're not a reading, if you're not reading a Democrat congressman's press release verbatim and uncritically. You can't really can't. Well, I'm sorry, I'm

that's that's the comments here. It is basically she's kind of saying, Hey, this guy, you know, he maybe maybe onto something here. I mean, we we gotta we gotta take this guy at his word. In fact, in this article, there's an actual statement from Congressman Jamal Brown. Let me read this to you immediate release. September thirtieth. This would have been what Saturday. I guess I want to personally clear up. Oh boy,

I want a personally clear up confusion surrounding today's events. Today. As I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open. The door is usually open, it's been so I guess maybe the next narrative is that they shut the door to keep people from being able to vote. I mean, this sounds like an insurrection to me. The more that I the more that I am reading on this, the more I'm seeing information on this, the more inclined I am to believe that we're dealing

with an actual insurrection. I mean, that's what we're told. I mean, they've interfered with people's abilities to enter buildings. And so forth. So he's and now my computers computer's frozen up twice. I'll me today, now it's acting up again, my goodness. Basically, it's a it's a press release trying to explain that he thought the fire alarm opened the door to get into the Capitol art to the again, I think it was the office building.

But nonetheless, this is this is the position, this is what we're supposed to believe. And now we've got journalists at an MSNBC so called journalists make believe journalists telling us that yes, in fact, this makes sense if you actually pay attention and you read the press release and you understand is how complicated it is to open doors, to not pull fire alarms when you're trying

to open said doors. I mean, this makes total sense, total sense to a leftist, to a Democrat, and it is not reloading this. I'ma have to do it during the break. I'm gonna take a quicker break early, about a minute early, and I'm gonna have it ready when I come back. My computer is not cooperating today, apologies for that anyway, So I'm look it. Memes. This stuff is great. People have, people have the congressman carrying giant fire alarms and memes through the Capitol Building and

so forth. Anyway, timeouts in order. For some reason, this stupid thing will not load. I will read it on the other side of the break of my friends. Apologies for the inconvenience. Back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. I don't want to get too much on this American wire news website, but it is a mess today because I'm trying to tell you what this press release says, and I can't find it anywhere else. I looked incredibly, just feverishly during the break, and I

just can't pull it up here. I can't find it anywhere else. I'm trying to get it to load. This thing will not load, but suffice it to say here it is. It's just in loading. It's not loading. I don't know what's going on. I'm gonna try as I'm talking here, but suffice it to say, what we've got. Okay, I gotta pulled back up here, he says. I want a person to clear up

confusion, he says, surrounding today's events. Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes, but today when not open, I am embarrassed to admit you should be that I activated the fire alarm mistakenly thinking it would open. The door. Reminds me of a Seinfeld when George used the window instead of a door.

I wander, could you not have used the window? Congressman Billman, I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this cause what do you mean confusion at cause it sounds like you're the one that was confused. But I want to be very clear, this was not me in any way trying trying to where are we here? My goodness and technological melt down here. There's

not in any way to him trying to delay any vote. It was the exact opts that I was rushing or trying urgently to get to a vote which ultimately which I ultimately didn't enjoin my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open. And I also met after the vote with the Sergeant of Arms and the Capitol Police. I just out of time, but you get the idea of folks. Thank you for listening. Have a great day. SDG
