The Speaker’s Race

Attention. You're listening to the top huff radio show, America's home for conservative not bitter Talk radio. The advice that 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, Tod Huff. Well, greeting's, my friends, and thank you for tuning in to America's home for conservative not bitter talk. I've told you before, I will tell

you again there is no alternative. There is no version of liberal or I should say, radical left not bitter talk. In fact, it's radical left hatred. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Those two things come as a package deal, my friends, and it is of course one of the problems we are dealing with today. But I want to get into a lot of things today. Well, two main things. Two main things. Number one, I want to speak a little bit on the race for Speaker of

the House. And I want to paint the picture as to what is going on there, why it matters, and so forth, what's going to happen. I mean, we'll explore some possible solutions or some possible outcomes. And I want to talk about what's happening in of course Israel, and in gays in particular. Hospital was struck recently, and there's of course a war of blame, a finger pointing. I want to explore that and talk about that as well. If you want to be part of the converse station, I

welcome you to do that. And you don't even have to agree with me, my friends, that's part of being conservative, not bitter. You can email me your thoughts, your questions, your opinions, your feedback, and you're always asked to include some amount of adoration and praise to at Toddshow dot com. Is that email. You can also text in to the hotline here three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty Again three one seven two one

zero twenty eight thirty. Be advised that message and data rates could apply from your carrier. So let's start today by talking about the speaker's race. The speakers race, of course, has been an interesting dynamic. It's been a dynamic that I think has been a necessary I think it's necessary. Now some

people think that that's crazy. What are you talking about? All this Republican in finding prevents us from dealing with the real issues, And I say, we've been dealing with the real issues in a way that doesn't solve the real issues for a long long time, a long time decades. My friends and I think that it's foolishness. I think that it's folly. I think that it's not wise to continue with the same types of leaders who recommend the same

types of solutions, which, by the way, are never conservative. They're never truly limited government, they never really truly cut any spending. And I know, folks, look, the House is one piece of the puzzle, but I think we have to I don't know. I was when I was younger. No, no, I'll say this. When I was younger. This is no longer the case. But when I was younger, I was an athlete, and I just remember, and maybe it's the mind of someone

who participates in sports. I played football, I played basketball, I ran track. As a younger kid, I played baseball. Stopped playing baseball. I think I stopped playing baseball after fifth grade. And the reason was, and this will give you a little bit of insight into how my mind works, I thought, baseball. Boy, this is gonna upset some people. This was fifth grade, todd, Okay, fifth grader. I decided that I wasn't gonna play because there wasn't enough action for me. It was too

boring. Now I've been watching the Major League Baseball playoffs. I don't watch the entire games, but I watched chunks of them. I've watched the Rangers and Astros. I've watched the Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Watched the Phillies game recently. You know, I've been watching these games. So I'm not against baseball now, but at the time it was not a fast enough pace

sport for me. So but I always went out there to win. And I don't think, really, I don't even know that I fully realize this now as of someone who's almost forty six. I'll be forty six here at the end of the year, still got the body of a forty five year old, though, I can tell you that. But but this this concept of in my mind, you you know, you strapped up, strapped on your pads, and you went out to play to win. I was amazed. I didn't understand this when I was in high school. I don't think

I understood this in college. As I begin to talk, you know, you kind of go through some of these stories with you know, with friends and you're talking to you know, just going through the good old days and you know, flashbacks and all this to the high school days or college days of sports and just some of the things that I have heard and realized that they did not look at it the same way that I did. I didn't

care who folks, you could have suited us up. Again. I know this is going to sound this is maybe a tad bit of hyperbole, but you could have suited us up against the Indianapolis Colts, and I would have expected to go out there to win. In my mind, what is the point of going on that field If I didn't intend to win, If I knew we were going to lose, then, in my mind, what's the point of playing the game? The game itself is what determines the outcome.

And that's why you'll find a little bit of this in some of the things that I say. Maybe a lot of the things that I say, you'll hear me. For example, during election time, I'll almost almost certain I'll say this, you know, I will say, polls don't elect anybody. What elects people are vote tallies. And of course that opens another can of

worms. I don't want to get into it at the moment, but you got to get out and on game day, metaphorical game day, when you can cast your ballot, whether you mail it in again, I don't want to open up that can of worms. Whether you can go to early voting at the polls or whether it's on election day. What matters is showing up and doing your job on the metaphorical game day election day. Everything else doesn't matter. So what happens on that field, on that court, on that

diamond, that is what matters. That is who determines that that That's what determines who wins or loses the game. And so that impacts my thinking on a lot of what's happening in Congress or in politics in general. I don't care that we don't have I do care in a sense that I wish we did have the Senate, but it's not going to stop my thinking from what

should happen in the House. Even if the Senate is in Democrat control, which it is, even if the Presidency is under the control of Democrats, and it is, that doesn't mean that I've got to throw up my hands and say, well, there's no point, because I believe, folks, this is going to be we lost control of this country inch by inch, we are going to regain control of this country. If we do inch by inch. We can't think And this is one of the reasons, and I

don't want to again. There's so many tangents you can jump into on a day like today, with all these things that are going to pop up as we have this discussion. But this is one of the reasons why I think conservatives sometimes are their own worst enemy in the sense that we require people who are some of us, require people who are quote unquote conservative to be in one hundred percent lockstep with us, maybe they're only eighty percent or eighty five

percent or some such thing. We have to look at this as we have to advance the ball. If you're playing a sport played football, you know that every play that you run is not designed. You're not expecting a touchdown. You're expecting to pick up positive yards, you're expecting to get a first down, you're expect to expecting to get the ball into the opponent's territory territory, and you're ultimately expecting to get it into the endz and that's your hope.

But things happen on every play that interrupt your goal, the team's goals. The other team has a goal to stop you. And so I think Republicans have to look at the realities as they have them and say, look, we understand that we can't control the agenda right now, and voters need to know that too. Voters need to know that the mess that we're in

is caused by the people who are making the decisions. And the decisions are not being made by conservative Republicans. They are being made by radical leftists. They are unequivocally being made by leftists. Now, not everybody who casts a ballot, casts a vote, I should say for a particular issue in Congress, is necessarily a radical leftist. But the Democrat Party has been hijacked, as I've said before, by the extreme radical left. And there's a fight

between the liberals and the radical leftists and the Republican Party. There's a fight for control between conservatives and the country club Republicans. And that's what's that is what this issue is. That is when you look at what's happening in the Speaker of the House and the race for that that is this is precisely what this is about This is about This is about who's going to control the Republican Party. This is about having whether we're going to have conservative leadership or country

club moderate Republican leadership. McCarthy the country club moderate leadership, Paul Ryan previous Republican Speaker of the House, country club Rhino moderate leadership, Dennis Hastard. I was then trying to think of his name the other day, trying to think of his name the other day, and just as we were on the show, and I couldn't think of it, Speaker Hastard, same sort of

thing. The last time there was a Republican excuse me, a conservative Speaker of the House was for two terms two congresses, back in nineteen ninety five through nineteen ninety nine, and that was Speaker Newt Gingrich from Georgia. That was that was the what is that called drawing a blank on the campaign name? The contract with America? There we go, contract with America. That

was the last time we had conservative leadership in Congress. And so a lot of people in the media on the left, they conflate, sometimes intentionally, sometimes out of ignorance, this idea that Republican equals conservative, and that's not the case we have had Republican leadership. I would like for those two things to be synonymous. But we have had a Republican Speaker since the beginning of

the year, but we have not had a conservative speaker. This is what Matt Gates was concerned about, and this is why he took all the flak for withholding his vote for Speaker now well then Speaker McCarthy or Speaker Elect McCarthy. But he got McCarthy to do some things that allowed us to be in this position here. Now there's another group of Republicans that are They don't want to have these fights. They don't want to fight about they don't really they

want to be fiscally responsible. They want to be they want to be irresponsible fiscally, but less fiscally irresponsible than the radical left. They don't want to be completely woke, but they're not really interested in defending conservative principles and values. They're not really interested in defending truth. They can't quite get to the point where you can openly state such ridiculous, absurd things that you hear coming

from the radical left smuths. They're not to that point. They're but they're also not interested in restraining, truly restraining and reducing the size of government. They're not interested in that. It's just I don't know how else to say this. It pains me to say this, and I don't know the percentages. I don't know the percentages, but there's there's a lot of folks that will go kicking and screaming if they are actually forced to cut one red scent

from government spending. Notice I didn't say a budget, because those clowns and jokers in DC don't operate by a judge a budget. They just continually they just keep spending money. And then when we run out of the ability to spend money, they say, we got to go borrow more money, just you know, have to have the ability to have more funds released. Just spend it like it's water, my friends. And so along comes a group of people, and there's not many, right, the Matt Gates types,

the Jim Jordan types. Again, there's not many. And I'm not defending everything about every one of them, but I don't know in many instances, specifically all the motivations. But when I look at this on paper, I think Matt Gates is absolutely unequivocally correct. He is There's no doubt in my mind if we really want it will forget about wanting If this nation is on the trajec victory that I say it is, that Conservatives say that it is,

and that's the truth. The only way to save this the only way to turn this ship around, is to have people who are not going to continue to make the same mistakes that previous leaders have made. McCarthy has made, capitulating and giving in, not fighting, not fighting hard enough. I understand that there's realities today, but I also understand I also understand that it's much more troubling to have thirty three trillion dollars of debt. It's much more

troubling to have an open border. It's much more troubling to have seven whatever billion dollars of US weapons that were abandoned in Afghanistan along with I think it was fifteen thousand American citizens initially. That's much more troubling to me than whether Republicans are fighting over who's going to be the Speaker of the House. Give

me a break. And by the way, if any of these twenty Republicans that initially voted against McCarthy, if any of them come back and say at any point in time that not having a Speaker of the House puts America in jeopardy. I'm going to remind them that they could have put an end to that by voting, I said McCarthy. Any of these that voted against Jordan, I'm going to remind them that they didn't vote for Jim Jordan. So don't be coming at me with sophistry. It's fine that you've drawn this battle

line. It's fine that you don't like Jordan. But we're going to explore this and we're going to talk about this because it matters. It matters a whole lot. These are the incremental battles we have to win. There has to be a speaker Jim Jordan or someone very close to that type of individual. So timeout is in order. Quick time out, my friends, come back and continue this conversation. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one, the only Todd Huff back in just

a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So we're going through this situation in the house Speaker of the House. We laid some background last segment. I had mentioned that the last time there was a conservative speaker in the House was from nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety nine, great years. By the way, OZ is sitting here with me. OZ would agree that these are great years as well. She nods in agreement, thumbs up approval by by

Oz. I graduated in nineteen ninety six. I won't tell you when OZ graduated, but it was after that, but it was in that same window. So you can have a couple of guesses there. Anyway, So Conservative Speaker of the House, New Gambridge nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety nine, and we saw, we saw some really good things happen in that period of time. Right, America's well, the contract with America, the Republican already's

contract with the America. They nationalized the election, they made it about a series of issues, pledges to the American people, and they got it done. Compare and contrast that with what happened in twenty twenty two. Right, we were told there was going to be a red wave. McCarthy was in Now he wasn't Speaker of the House, but he was the minority leader. This was McCarthy's job to inside the apparatus of the political well, the the

political party itself. McCarthy was the one that was kind of organizing and structuring and working on elections from that angle, and we barely barely by the skin of our teeth, which, by the way, is the reason we're having all this controversy over speakers is because there's just a couple of Republicans, a couple of there's just a few seats of majority for the for the Republican Party,

and so there's not a lot of room for error. There's two hundred and twenty Republicans two hundred and twelve Democrats right now, and so there's not a lot of room for error. You have a couple of Republicans defect, you need a two hundred and seventeen vote, two hundred and seventy people to vote for the speaker of the House, or you don't have a speaker.

And so the initial group of twenty, which I'm going to read their names, I did something I'm talking immediately after the vote on Tuesday, the first vote on Tuesday. I watched that vote. It is one of the more painful things that you can do is to watch the vote. I watched it on a social media feed, and I was watching, I was reading some of the comments. I responded to a couple of them. People don't know, people didn't understand any of the thing. First they got to call the

quorum and get the counts of how many people are there. Then people were tuning in, you know what, you know, what's this mean? Who did this? And there were people that were literally thinking that Hakeem Jeffries could win the speaker and technically he can. Technically he can. There would only have to be a couple what five Republicans to to actually cross over and join

the two hundred and twelve Democrats to get them to two seventeen. But that I know that there are some people that are afraid of that happening, and there has been talks I mentioned earlier in the week, I think I mentioned

it on here where there was a Republican from Alabama. I'm drawing a blank on his name, Member of the House Republican who basically said that he was going to be negotiating or having conversations with Jeffries and the Democrats to see if they could get a couple of Republicans to join the Democrats or to have kind

of a consensus canon a bipartisan speaker. Of course, of course that just means a Democrat that has tricked Republicans or that has given make believe Republicans the opportunity to vote for a Democrat. He has since that that individual has since decided he is not going to go that route. He ended up he actually ended up voting for Jim Jordan on the first ballot. Interestingly enough, Kevin McCarthy voted on the first ballot for Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise. These are

people that Republicans were voting for. So instead of voting for Jeffries, right, there were two nominees. One was Jim Jordan, I'm talking about the first vote. One was Jim Jordan. One was the King Jeffries. So two hundred Republicans voted for Jim Jordan, two hundred and twelve Democrats voted for a Keem Jeffries, and then twenty Republicans voted for someone else either. Let's see, Kevin McCarthy got some votes, Steve Scalise got votes. Steve Scalice

also voted for Jim Jordan. Kevin McCarthy also voted for Jim Jordan. Interesting if you go back in time too, remember remember these these self righteous Republicans. They were they were in the crowd that was saying, what is Matt Gates expecting to get? Back when Matt Gates was voting for anyone besides McCarthy, back in the early days, back in January when the House Speaker was selected, or February whenever that was anyway, So they were saying, well,

you know, what's why is he voting for this person? Jim Jordan doesn't even want it? Well, why are they voting for Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy is voting for Jim Jordan. Why are they voting for Steve Scalise. Steve Scalise is voting for Jim Jordan. So that's what's going on. I think they also voted. Someone voted for Massey that was actually someone here in Central Indiana, uh victorious Sparts District five. I called, I actually

called their office. I don't do this very often, as soon as I because I saw the vote on Tuesday and she didn't vote the first time through, right, which of course tells you a lot right there. So they want to see how everyone else votes and then they're going to make their symbolic move or whatever. She ends up voting for a guy that at that point. I don't believe he had any other votes. Tom is it Thomas Massey anyway from Kentucky. I believe so. Of course, it's it's symbol,

it's it's it's symbolic, and there's there's you know whatever. It's her right to do it. But I called, and I was very polite. Of course, they didn't answer. I left the message. I've interviewed her on this show. I told her, I told the office, hey, if she wants to come on here, I would consider having her explained of the audience why she didn't vote for Jim Jordan. I mean, go for it, have had it. I'm not here too like I mean, we're conservative,

not bitter. I just want to have a conversation. I think I want to make this very I want to make a stark contrast between what what has happened with a speaker McCarthy leadership and what can happen with with Jim Jordan. And I would say that the people who are not prepared to vote for Jordan that played these little games voting for McCarthy and Massey and Steve Scalise, and I'm drawing the blank on a couple of others. But there were a

couple of others that they that they voted for as well. They are I think I know why. It's not reasonable. It's not really reasonable, But have them explain it. I think you continue to make them cast their ballots for someone else, even even if, as is predicted, the numbers of votes for Jordan might go down a little bit. But let's figure out. Matt Gates had a clear goal with what he was doing earlier in the year. He of course didn't want McCarthy and was wanted to have somebody else.

However, he was willing to renegotiate with certain concessions, concessions that he got, commitments that he got from the Speaker elect McCarthy. And by the way, because of those concessions, we are here because he was given the speaker. McCarthy agreed that in order to be in exchange for being Speaker, that he would lower the threshold for the motion to vacate the chair to one member of the Republican Caucus. And that's what Matt Gates did. And Matt Gates

has laid out why he did it. It's pretty crystal clear. You can disagree with his assessment. That's okay. I don't. I do agree, because we're continuing to head down the wrong path. And so what is the intention of these other folks? What is the intention of the Victoria Sparts. And that's just the one that's here in my district. There's nineteen others. What is their endgame? What is their goal? Who else do they want? Do they want to speaker McCarthy, Well, McCarthy just voted for Jordan.

Does McCarthy even won it, Steve Scalise, they won him? Well he's voting for mccarthur or excusing me for it for Jordan? What's going on here? What's your plan? Are you willing to talk with and negotiate with Jordan? Anyway? Timeouts in order plenty more to say about this. I still want to get to what's happening in Israel too, but this is important as well. This is important as well. Time out though, my friends

Be sure to tell Crispin and a scene you heard about him here on the Top Half show. So what is really the problem. Why can't people get behind Jim Jordan? Why are

there twenty Republicans? And I'm going to pull up the list, I'll read it next next segment. I'll read to the list next segment, and if you feel like you should call, which I'm telling you is a very effective method, and you can leave a message. You just have to keep it respectful. It shouldn't get controversial or you know, you don't want to yell at him or something like that. I voice my displeasure with Representative Sparks. I said, you know, she's been on the program before. I'm very

disappointed in how she voted for the speaker role. I don't know what she was trying to accomplish by voting for Massy. This is I don't think this is a serious way to deal with this. I disagree. I would consider even having her explain to our audience, because we're going to talk about this on our program, because it's important. We would have her give you have the opportunity to explain your vote. Of course, I haven't gotten a callback, but I may. I may go ahead and reach out to all these

folks. I don't know, but you can do that. It's just got to be respectful. You know these you know, you just and I know most of you won't. It's you know, it's sometimes emotions can get involved there, but we just have to keep it to the facts. You know, we want you to support Jordan because of this, right, there's no reason. There's no reason to not support Jordan's but I will tell you from

their their position, there is, and I it's not good reasoning. Let me tell you some of the things that Jordan, a speaker, Jordan would do that they do not really want to mess with. They don't really want to mess with investigations into Hunter Biden. Now that's already kind of moving along. McCarthy did do that. Of course, they don't really want to look into impeachment inquiries and so forth, which is where the House is headed.

That's already those things have already been done. But Jordan is going to push harder. Jordan is going to be more peddle to the medal. Jordan is well, he's I think he has a clearer understanding of what we're really up against in today's modern Democrat party and he's prepared to fight against that. And people don't People don't like that. They don't really want what comes along with oversight of the executive branch, because I mean, it gets them that they

don't get some times. And this I don't mean this to a person. I'm just painting a general picture. You know, it's hard to be the person that the media is coming down on, Democrats are maligning, and then on top of that you feel a little bit kicked out of the of the cool kids group in Washington, d C. I'm not defending it. I'm just saying that that feels a lot more of this than people realize. The human factor of I want to be liked is a much stronger force in elected

politics and even unelected politics. Then people really stop and take credit for They don't want to really be fiscally responsible. They don't really want to be tied to Trump, and Jordan, of course is tied pretty closely with Trump. They don't really There's there's an anti Trump wing that's still of course in Washington, d C, in the Republican Party, and that's who a lot of these folks are, and a lot of them are anti Jordan primarily because of

Trump and Trump related things. They think. And I read this in an article that I think it was at Newsmax, it'll be in the stack of stuff today. But they think that electing Jim Jordan to be Speaker in twenty four, well excuse me now, will be political suicide for them in twenty four when in reality it's just the opposite. So I'll talk about that a little bit on the other side of the break quick time out, though my friends don't take a break back in a minute now. A lot of this

is fear. A lot of this is personal, this fight over the speaker. A lot of this is fear based. A lot of this is, well, you did this to us, We're going to do this to you. I understand that to a point. I would like to know in this if I interviewed any of these folks, and we don't do interviews, but I tell you I will. I will offer to any of these twenty Republicans. This is in the official record here at the Todd huff Show. Now I will make an offer. As I'm googling to make sure I get you

the names Republicans who voted against Jordan, there's twenty of them. I will be very kind and polite. I don't agree with you, by the way, I'm not gonna. And I won't tell you that I agree with you, but I will let you explain why you did it the thinking, because I don't understand. I mean I do. I just laid out some reasons why I think that it's clear that they do not support or have not yet

supported Jordan. But this last one that I mentioned before the break, this idea that a speaker Jordan would create a political bloodbath for Republicans in twenty twenty four is craziness to me. It really is crazy to me, because we just got through a situation where we were supposed to have a red wave, right, we were supposed to win forty fifth I don't remember the forty to fifty seats, and we barely eked across the finish. I mean barely.

It wasn't even like a like a splash from if you had dropped an ice cube and a cup. We're talking about a tsunami and we're barely getting a splash from dropping an ice cube and a glass of water. That was and now we still won because the Democrats had been so terrible. But it wasn't because McCarthy led us to some great victory. That's not at all what happened there, and so the idea that there would be a political bloodbath against them.

Now, maybe certain districts, maybe that's the case. Like this, Don Bacon of Nebraska, that's a very split division. All right, excuse me a district. So these are the twenty, I'll read them quickly, Don Bacon, Nebraska. These are all Republicans, by the way, all Republican members of the House of Representatives. These are the twenty who voted against Speaker McCarthy on the or excuse me, speaker against Jim Jordan for Speaker on

the first vote. Don Bacon of Nebraska, Lori Chavez Dreamer of Oregon, Anthony Di Esposito, Marie uh Mario Diaz Balart, Jake Elzi, Andrew Garbarino, Carlos Jeminez, Tony Gonzalez. I should have been saying the estates.

He's Texas, Kay Granger of Texas, Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, Jennifer Kiggins of Virginia, Nick Lolota, New York, Mike Lawler, New York, John Rutherford Florida, Mike Simpson, Idaho, Steve Womack Arkansas, Kin Bock, Colorado, John James Michigan, Doug LaMalfa, California, Victoria's sparks of the Great State of Indiana. So there's the twenty Any of them have a We don't interview people. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these

reps to be on this show because we don't do that. We don't do that, but I will give them an opportunity to explain themselves to you, the American people, the voter. What they're thinking is why are they so against Jim Jordan? Are they against an aggressive pursuit of actual oversight holding this administration of President Bribery accountable? Is that scary? Are they really afraid of fiscal respond it's ability? Are they simply bothered by Jim Jordan and his connection

with Trump? What is this? Are they really afraid of a bloodshed political bloodshed metaphorical of course, in twenty twenty four because of a speaker Jim Jordan. I don't buy any of it. None of that makes sense. Well, that last part. I do believe that they're afraid of strong leadership. I do believe that at their core they're not really conservative. I do believe that they're quite comfortable in Washington, DC. So you can call these folks,

and if you do, just keep it respectful. Tell them you disagree, tell them why they should you think they should vote for Jordan, if that's what you decide to do. These things matter a lot more than we think. I have people all the time. Well, I would say the most common question I get, what can I do? Well, here's here's a served up opportunity. Call your representative, even call them if they're not leave them a message. If they don't answer, I guarantee they are being

overwhelmed by people telling them to support Jim Jordan for speaker. Quick time out, my friends. You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. Be advised. Listening may, of course cause you to lean to the right, so exercise extreme caution while driving, operating heavy machinery, simply walking down the hallway. Back in a minute, Welcome back, my friends. Not a lot

of time remaining here today. I don't have time. I wanted to get to this controvert or this well, this battle of narratives over what is actually happening in Israel. There was a hospital that was struck. Israel has provided evidence to say that it's a Hamas missile that misfired from gaza that didn't make its way out. They provided a recording of Hamas chatter and they of course

interpreted it where they basically acknowledged as much hamas Iran. Others are saying Israel struck the hospital and you know, killing all these innocent civilians and so forth. Anyway, I just can't get into it, but that's going on as well. I gotta go. STG
