The Stack: After the Shutdown the Real Fight Begins
After 43 days, Washington finally reopened—but the real fight has just begun. Todd breaks down what the continuing resolution actually did and why another standoff could hit by January 30. At the heart of the clash: whether to keep inflated Obamacare subsidies born during COVID or return to fiscal reality.
Todd also unpacks the growing divide inside the Democratic Party, as Senator John Fetterman faces hostility from the radical Left for daring to sound reasonable. Plus, we spotlight a wave of good news the media won’t touch—crime down sharply in Chicago after ICE stepped up enforcement, and U.S. Marshals rescuing more than 100 missing children in Memphis. Conservative, not bitter, and focused on truth over theatrics—this episode digs into the power plays, the pressure, and what it means for America’s future.

The Todd Huff Show – November 13, 2025
Host: Todd Huff
Todd Huff: That is right, my friends. You've successfully and ever so wisely tuned in to America's home for conservative, not bitter, talk. I'm your host. The one and only, the ever so beloved. Todd Huff the benevolent dictator here behind the microphone making socialist dreams come true i guess. Finally found that benevolent dictator here at the Tata show. I'm kidding. No such thing exists.
Todd Huff: But yet they're out there searching with everything in their might to find it so that their delusional. And absolutely broken worldview. Morally bankrupt worldview. Can be, I guess, verified or validated. In their minds. We talked a little bit about that yesterday. I want to talk today. Now that President Trump has signed. Signed the legislation, the continuing resolution now to reopen our government.
Todd Huff: I want to talk about a little. Of the fallout concerning that. A little of a little bit about. What is. Kind of the fight about who won and all that kind of stuff. I've got a clip of. John Federman on the view. i've got a clip of john federman talking with dan abash of cnn i just wanted to play some of this i want to share with you my thoughts on some of this fallout and of course we'll do that here. My friends. In due course today.
Todd Huff: Before I get too far down that path, though, friends. You know that one? Of the biggest challenges we as conservatives have is finding ways to ensure that our values align with the things that we do.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): I know that you can manage the things that you do in your own life. Easily. You can decide. What you do for a career. How you educate your children gets a little bit trickier sometimes when you look at investing your money, though, because we've been told that. You can't necessarily. Invest in companies that reflect your values.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): But my friends, things have changed. That used to be the case, it was hard to manage. That. But now there are tools. And folks out here, like our friends at Four Eight Financial, who can help you invest. In companies that are pushing in the same direction you are. They specialize in what they call biblically responsible investing.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): They screen out companies that go against. Your faith and value, so you're not funding things that go completely against your values, your beliefs. If the tool is there and. We believe certain things. Why would we not take advantage of it? And that's what Four Eight Financial is here. To help us do to take advantage of those tools.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): They help do all the heavy lifting for us. All we have to do, all we have to. Do is take an assessment that we can go. Complete at foureightfinancial.com/todd. Again, foureightfinancial.com/todd. Take a quick assessment and they'll tell you to what degree your current investments align. With your values. Four Eight Financial because your money should work for your values, all right.
Todd Huff: That being said, let's get in. To. The well, the content of today's program. I want to start by. The fallout. Talking about the fallout. From the shutdown. The shutdown is now over. After 43 days, my friends, this was longer. Than the 40 days and nights.
Todd Huff: That. Well, 40 days and nights on the arc. This took three days longer than that Congress's. Past temporary funding bill. We went through the details of this earlier in the week. Essentially. Three of the twelve appropriations bills are funded through the fiscal year. That's September 30 of 2026. Believe it or not.
Todd Huff: The other nine bills. Are not funded long term. They're funded through January 30, 2026. Here we are nearing the end of November. So we have just a little over two months before we're going. To be staring this in the eye again. This should be something that Congress begins talking about right now.
Todd Huff: Talking about right now. How they avoid. Another shutdown on January 30. They should begin negotiating and dealing with these things. And of course, we always have to deal with the reality, the possibility. That. The Democrat Party is going to be engaging. In political theater here, so just be prepared for that.
Todd Huff: So this is set us up for a redo, potentially of a fight just like this at the end of January. We will see. But what did we learn? What did we learn from. This situation. Well. There is. A lot of this. We already knew some of this. was reconfirmed.
Todd Huff: There's a lot of frustration out there. The left. I would tell you, as I've said pretty consistently on this program, the left is upset that republicans didn't negotiate on the affordable care act the obamacare subsidies that was not part of this shutdown that wasn't part of a clean cr republicans have told them that they will have the discussion.
Todd Huff: But there's no guarantee that this will see its way past the filibuster. In the Senate, which, of course, requires 60 votes to get passed, so we will see what happens. There. I don't think that these subsidy. Well, who knows what's going to happen. With how they put the focus on the issue and turn up the pressure on some more.
Todd Huff: Moderate leaning Republicans and so forth. But there's a good chance that these subsidies don't get passed. Of course, if that happens even look. If it never passes the senate, which again. Is a fairly decent chance that that's going to be the outcome. The extension of these Obamacare subsidies, which, again, if you didn't listen earlier in the week.
Todd Huff: That's okay. I'll repeat myself here. So what the fight about is from the Democrats perspective, or at least what they want you to think it's about. I don't know how many people genuinely believe this and how many people are doing this because they think it just simply gives them a political narrative that helps. Them.
Todd Huff: Remember, this is a party that is an absolute disarray. This is a party with that leadership this is. A party without a rudder. This is a party that the only time that they seem to get any traction is when they have these elections, like, say, with Zohran Mamdani in New York. When. The individual is. A leftist. A socialist.
Todd Huff: A socialist running. The city of New York. And that doesn't work on the national stage. And so Democrats. The base, of course, of the Democrat party is very socialist, very, very far to the left, some of them are godless, extremist, radical, leftist, and so they get excited about this, but. When it comes time for bigger national elections.
Todd Huff: They want to pretend that they're not these socialists, because that typically doesn't work. Thankfully. On the national stage, although they certainly are gaining some momentum. And of course, the candidate matters a whole lot. A candidate like Zorhan Mamdani. For several reasons. he's articulate well spoken They can talk about.
Todd Huff: His race and ethnicity make that part of this. If you vote against him, then you're voting against people that look like him, that sort of stuff. But he became. An individual that could carry the socialist message across the finish line in New York City. This is, I guess, the point of tension here.
Todd Huff: Democrats. In the base of the Democrat party, the most energized are those who are the most extreme radical leftist. These are the ones who have been stirred into the greatest frenzy over President Trump and how dangerous he is. These folks are in the 20% that we talked about yesterday.
Todd Huff: I don't know if that was in the Todd talk or the show. Now that I say this, but I remember talking about. The, I think it was in the Todd talk yesterday. Georgia Democrats. There was a poll done by the Atlanta, what is that, the Atlanta courier journal or Constitution Journal. I don't know what it is.
Todd Huff: Some paper there, they did a poll. And found that 20% of Democrat voters in Georgia. Find that the number one issue that they believe exists politically today is that Democrats need to be the opposition party just opposed President Trump and MAGA Republicans. We talked a little bit about that.
Todd Huff: What does that look like? What does that mean? They don't know. They've just. Been stirred into a frenzy. They have to oppose Trump. At every turn. And these socialists appeal to them because they do oppose Trump at every turn. They don't. For example.
Todd Huff: Kind of fit the mold of a John Federman, who's far from a radical leftist. He's. Liberal, but he's a Democrat senator who's certainly not an unreasonable guy. He takes a lot of flak, and I've got a clip from him, which is why. I am mentioning that here. Off the top.
Todd Huff: But. This is. Sorry. Here, let me make sure I get the right link. But the fallout from this the fallout from this is that there's tension. That's. Been exposed. There's tension within the Democrat party. There's tension within the republican party. I've shared this with you.
Todd Huff: You know this. We've talked about this for some time. There's a fight for control of both the Democrat and republican parties. And. Those two part those two groups. Include. Democrats who are radically left socialists. In the Democrat party. And more traditional liberals in the Democrat Party and the Republican Party.
Todd Huff: There are the conservatives and. They're the more moderate or country club Republicans. And so there's fights within the fights, politically. In this country. And so there's fallout from this shutdown. Who do we blame? Who? Do we? I think it's clear who we blame.
Todd Huff: I've been through that. This is senate Democrats who caused this. And that the proof is in the pudding because the eight Democrat senators that came across the aisle by getting eight Democrats to vote for this, it proved that Democrats were blocking the government reopening. So that's an easy one.
Todd Huff: But who wins this, who loses this and so forth? I don't know that anybody wins this. I know the american people. Didn't win anything through all this drama. The Democrats hope that they did. That might have helped them a little bit in these elections, potentially. Help drive voters.
Todd Huff: To the polls when they can blame Republicans for this shutdown and so forth. I don't know. But as far as strategically, as far as. Doing something that really resonates with the american people. None of that happened here. None of that happened here.
Todd Huff: However, there is certainly tension within the Democrat party. Sunny Hostin from the view who you know. Listen, I don't watch the view. I don't care about the view. I talk about the view because whatever we think about this, there are. People out there that. This sort of garbage resonates with them.
Todd Huff: This sort of rhetoric, this sort of viewpoint and worldview, which is empty in ways I can't describe to you here on this program. This absolute emptiness and utter just confusion, tumult, chaos, you name it. Over there at the view. She's angry. She's very, very angry. They had John Fetterman on the program earlier.
Todd Huff: This week. And I want to play this exchange. John Fetterman Listen, a Democrat senator. He'd been asked many times if he was going to become a Republican. He says no. But certainly he doesn't fit. Into the left's version of his party today. There's a lot of things that are troubling about John Fetterman, but I will say this.
Todd Huff: I give him credit for standing on what appears to be principles here. I give him credit for going on this program. Not this particular program, but the program. With Sunny Hostin over at the view, knowing that. He's going to get treated like this, so I just want you to listen to this.
Todd Huff: Sunny Hostin just thinks, I guess free things should be given to all people. There's no, I guess day that the money actually has to be collected and paid. She's perfectly fine spending ourselves. Into absolute oblivion. The lover is a big government. Are happy with people like Sonny Hoston because she helps create. This emotional state of mind where you say, you got to just help people, just give them more. Take from the rich, give to those who are in, quote unquote, need and all the while you're driving our system of government past the point of sustainability.
Todd Huff: That's where we are here. And she's fired up and angry about it, so. That being said, I want to play a little bit of this conversation between Sunny Hostin and John Fetterman.
Sunny Hostin (Soundbite): Poll after poll found more Americans on both sides of the aisle, blaming Republicans, even Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the GOP. As you mentioned, Democrats had big wins last week, so you had momentum.
Sunny Hostin (Soundbite): Why give in now? Why bring a butter knife to a gunfight? Are you willing to gamble? That the deal? Good faith once the government reopens. Because if that gamble is wrong, half a million Pennsylvanians that you represent. Their health care costs will skyrocket if you are wrong. And I believe you are wrong.
Todd Huff: Pause everything. Health care costs have skyrocketed. There's a lot of reasons for this. But one reason is it's the same reason that of education. The cost of education has skyrocketed over the course of time when we'll do anything we can to pay for it out of federal funds. Then there is no what. Is the factor keeping the cost down at that point. Listen, there are other factors that they go into this. There's the games that are being played. With insurance companies. There is the lack of transparent pricing. In our health care system.
Todd Huff: There's a lot of factors here, but when you know that the price is going to be paid no matter what the cost. There is. Whatever it is, whatever the price tag, the government's going to fund it because. They've decided healthcare is a right, which is not a right. It absolutely is not a right. Listen, you can get mad at me all you want for saying that.
Todd Huff: It is not a right. You don't have a right to something else. That someone I. Should say that something that someone else has to provide you. That is not a right. Of course. We should try to find a way where these things can. Happen. In the private sector. Where people are able to be healthy, where we're not being poisoned by our food and that sort of stuff where we're getting actual health care treatment that doesn't just involve.
Todd Huff: Medications and prescriptions and all that sort of stuff. We should look at the total picture of health and not just. Pushing pills. There's a lot of factors here, but the idea the folks running the show knowing that the government. Is going to pay for health care, and that's going to mean more customers. And the government's going to pay the price no matter what it is. Effectively that. Is certainly a factor here. In driving up the cost of health care.
Todd Huff: And remember, as I shared with you, these subsidies were supposed to be. Temporary through Covid. And this is a lesson, this should serve as a lesson to everybody when you give a new benefit? It becomes nearly impossible to take it away, even if it is supposedly a temporary. Benefit. What you do is you've created. A level of dependency.
Todd Huff: This is one of the massive problems. This is one of the reasons why socialism will never work. It's one of the things the pilgrims. We're getting close. To Thanksgiving. I'm going to tell the true story of Thanksgiving here in a couple of weeks in memory of the late, great Rush Limbaugh, who used to do this every year. That was my favorite episode of his, which. I had a lot of favorite episodes of his, but it also is my favorite episode that we do every year.
Todd Huff: The true story of Thanksgiving. And the pilgrims learned. They learned what happens when you have a socialistic mindset. It is not good for the productivity of the group. It drives. It creates laziness, it creates dependency. And when there's incentive when there's incentive and free markets in capitalism, and so forth, then people have a reason to work harder or smarter or what have you, and we'll.
Todd Huff: Get into all of that. But at the core of this problem is this mindset. Socialism fails. The more things you have that the government provides for people. The more thing it's going to continue to provide for people because we've created an expectation. We've created a dependency, and that is not a good thing.
Todd Huff: That is not a loving thing either. Listen, it is not good to teach someone to be dependent on somebody else. And I don't mean that in some self made man approach. I just mean it as we all are first and foremost responsible for ourselves, for our families. And if you create this mentality that says someone else is going to do what you should be.
Todd Huff: Taking or tending to. Then that creates. A group of people. Whatever number, percentage that is that are not going to do that. And then if they promise this, by people that they vote for. This is why someone like me would say people are vote. Excuse me paying off their voters. They're effectively giving them things for voting for them and that's. Exactly.
Todd Huff: What is happening here? I'm getting to the end of this first segment. I'm going to have to take a break. We'll pick up John Fetterrman talking with Sunny. Hostin on the other side of the break. Friends, before we get too far down.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): That path before we just get to that break. They'll let me remind you MyPillow. My Pillow is excited to announce their biggest three in one sale ever. That includes My Pillow bed. Sheets. That includes my towels, which are finally back in stock.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): There's sales on other items. Discounts as well that you'll get using my code, Todd, during the checkout process, MyPillow.com promo code. Todd, I've got to take a quick time out. My friends. You're. Listening here to conservative, not bitter, talk. I'm your host, Todd Huff. Back in just a minute.
Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. Playing a little bit of a sound bite to John Fetterman. He's not even responded yet to Sunny Hostin. I cut it off before. His response. We're going to pick that up here. As we venture through this segment and then we play this sound bite.
Todd Huff: So Sunny Hostin basically said. You're negotiating with Republicans, there's no guarantee that. They're going to fund, or I guess, continue these subsidies for Obamacare. This could affect half a million. Pennsylvanians and the cost of their health care, they're going to skyrocket and remember.
Todd Huff: She wants you to think that the problem is. The government isn't providing enough assistance. I want you to know that there's a lot more going on here, and the government. Is refusing to allow the private sector to truly solve this problem, the problem of health care. There's a lot of problems here.
Todd Huff: I don't want to make it sound like it's. Just an easy snap. Your fingers sort of fix. There's a lot of underlying problems. A lot of systemic problems when it comes to how this nation deals with health care. And this is the most simplistic, simple minded, I should say. Solution. Meaning?
Todd Huff: Well, it's expensive, so give people more money to pay for it. How about. We think about ways to drive down the cost, by the way, giving people money to pay for this is not the way to drive down the cost. Free markets will do this. You heard me. Say earlier this week, maybe again last week. I don't remember Milton Friedman.
Todd Huff: Said, on average, government. Running a certain industry or government. Being involved in something typically causes it, on average, to cost twice as much. And sometimes more. And I would assume that government's involvement here. Has caused the healthcare industry. The health insurance industry to be twice as expensive.
Todd Huff: I don't doubt that one bit. It might be much more than that. So she's asked him, why did you give in to this deal? The polls said you were winning. You can't trust Republicans to negotiate. You had the leverage. You're going to let Republicans off the hook. These people are going to lose their subsidies.
Todd Huff: These are people that live in your state. What do you say to this? Effectively is what she says to Federman and Senator Fetterman. Responds like this.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): Well, first of all, MTG is quite literally the. Last person in America that I'm going to take advice or to get their terms of my leadership and values. And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy pants like that, then that's on them.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): And I don't need a lecture, I don't need a lecturer from whether it's Bernie or the governor in California, because they are representing very deep blue, blue kinds of populations. And a lot of those things, a lot of those things were part of the extreme and now remember what really needs to win to win the.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): Big win. Is involving. My state and other states and those things. And why have we arrived here after the election a year ago. We want to forget. We got to forget some of the things that cost us that. Election or now for me.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): That's why I'm trying to remind people that kinds of the. Extremism. We can't return to those kind of things and realize we need to. Find a way forward, and I would like to. Rather than cite MTG, I'm going to cite one of the new governor elects, saying that my election is not a green light to continue.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): The shutdown? Because I promise you, this isn't a political game. It is viewed by that by many of us. But the reality is 42 million Americans now not sure where their next meal is going to come from. And because we vote like that. Vote like that.
Todd Huff: Or people that haven't been paid for five weeks now, and that kind of chaos. Okay, so that was his response. Obviously, that was a longer conversation, but it gives you an idea. Of the rift in the Democrat party, he says, Federman says, I'm not going to take a lecture. I don't need a lecture from Bernie Sanders or Governor Gavin Newsom.
Todd Huff: They're in blue states. They've been radical. Lies. Federman says. Federman says, look, he didn't say this specifically, but he kind of did. What works in those states is not going to work for the Democrat party as a whole. If we think that. Running on spending more money, being. More progressive, so to speak, if we think that's going to work.
Todd Huff: We are in for a rude, rude awakening. So there's tension and turmoil. And turbulence and chaos out there. There is a lot to be. A lot to be had here. Now, I do want to say this as well. I do want to play one more.
Todd Huff: I think I got this clip here. Federman was also on CNN. He was on CNN with. Dana Bash, and he was talking here about. Some of. The pushback and the, I guess, attacks. And so forth. From during this shutdown. So he made a comment.
Todd Huff: He made a comment here that Dana Bash is going to ask him about regarding. The venom. Of the political left and the political right. Remember Federman while he's on the left? Side of the. He's a democrat. He's a liberal. He's not a radical leftist.
Todd Huff: And listen. If you want to be accepted by the Democrat party today. I'm not talking rank and file. I'm talking if you want to be adored. By the media. If you want to be protected, if you don't want any sort of. Criticism lobbed your way from people on the political left, then you've got to be a radical leftist.
Todd Huff: Federman is not that. Federman saw firsthand, however, just how well venomous. People in his own party can be. In fact, he says here that. The cruelest comments that he dealt with didn't come from Republicans, which is not shocking. To me or you, but this was shocking somehow to Dana bash. Here's that.
Dana Bash (Soundbite): He said, quote, "I've drunk deeply of the venom of both the left and the right as a connoisseur. I can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitter. Bitterest is from the far left." That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as an elected Democrat. Why?
John Fetterman (Soundbite): Yeah. It's just been my personal experience on this thing. And when I asked my digital team, I said, we're on all the platforms. Really? What's kind of the harshest? What's? Kind of the most personal. And the answer was immediate. He said, oh, Blue Sky, it's Blue Sky.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): Yeah. And the difference is, the right would say really rough things and name some. Names. I won't repeat on tv. But on the left, it was like they want me to die or that we're cheering. For your next stroke. Or. That's terrible, that depression. Why couldn't a depression won? And I hope your kids find you.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): And then they even have, like, the graphic.
Todd Huff: Yeah. Just listen to some of those things. Listen to what they say. To Federman. “We hope you die. We hope your kids find you. We wish depression would have won.” Federman came out and said he struggled with depression.
Todd Huff: Had a stroke. Maybe the guy can have that. The left says, “We hope he has another stroke.” This is vile. Venomous. This is evil. This is wicked. This has no place. Listen, I said. The same thing. When these things were said about Charlie Kirk, his family.
Todd Huff: People celebrating his death. The similar things have happened here with Federman. Some of the responses he's gotten from the same people. These people on the extreme radical left, they are godless. They are just living deeply in their sin and wickedness.
Todd Huff: They have no remorse about anything. They want their political enemies to literally die. They want their political enemies to die. This is what happens when. Government becomes your God. This is what happens. You produce. There are religious zealots out there. In the world. You produce religious zealots for politics—you produce a political zealot.
Todd Huff: Whatever you want to call it. But government has become God for these people. They fall. At the foot, the altar of government and worship. And if somebody interferes with what they believe. With what their particular sectarian beliefs are. In this religion of government.
Todd Huff: They want you to die. They want you to be sacrificed. They want you to suffer. This is sick. This is evil. This is wicked. Federman says a little bit. More here. I'll get this in before we have to wrap this segment up.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): They have, like, a stroke. In your head cheering it. Yeah. And they said that. I remember one. They claimed that doctor let us down. And why did they have to save his? Life. I just can't imagine. People are wishing.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): I wish he dies or I want him to die literally cheering for a stroke. I don't know what the kind of a place where that comes from. Yes, you did. That's much different than just calling me a name. And that's really been consistent.
John Fetterman (Soundbite): In that community online.
Todd Huff: Yeah. The left is venomous, the godless extreme. Radical left is out of control. Venomous and completely wicked and depraved. That's what it is. What do you mean you don't know? Dana Bash acts surprised here.
Todd Huff: More on this after the break. I'm at the end of my segment, friends, if you're curious about Kratom. If you want honest answers before you try anything, you're.

Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. Third final segment of the program. I know it's a sad time but I want to wrap up what we were talking about. I also want to hit on a couple of high points with some of the things that are happening here.
Todd Huff: In our country that are good. Well, time. I don't have a lot of time. There's more you can read on this on our website. At the stack of stuff. Just go to toddhubshow.com. go to the stack. For today's episode, November 13, and you'll be able to see.
Todd Huff: Some of the things I'm going to mention here briefly here. In just a moment. Before I do that, have you ever noticed how some families seem to have a plan that lasts for generations. It's not by accident, friends.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): Full Sweet Wealth works with people who want their wealth to make a difference for years to come. Their team brings together high level investment strategies like private equity, private credit and option strategies with expert legal guidance.

Take a look at fullsweetwealth.com Jason and his team will help you. Take those next steps fullsweetwealth.com. Build your legacy. Secure your future, my friends.
Todd Huff: All right. So a couple of things. This is going to be a little bit of a lightning round again. If there's something I say that you want more information on, it's on the website first.
Todd Huff: Dana Bash acts like she doesn't know what the world. Why people would say these things. To Federman. She can't be serious. She can't possibly be serious. People in the media have stirred up hatred for Donald Trump, the Republican Party, for a decade now—even longer—but they.
Todd Huff: Really ratcheted it up. It's tough to say. Here over the past decade, since Trump's been running for office, in office, out of office. And out speaking. Whatever the deal was, for ten years now it has been ratcheted up. She cannot possibly be serious. She absolutely knows that they have created this monster.
Todd Huff: Now, they didn't completely create it—the person has to have this desire. To do evil and wickedness in their heart—but they've certainly provided the fuel for that. She can't possibly be serious. This is not confusing to anyone who pays attention, who has half of a brain. Number one. Number two.
Todd Huff: There's an article. It's in the stack of stuff. It's from the Daily Caller. Headline—well, the question that they addressed is, did Republicans cave? Did Republicans cave in this negotiated settlement by softening the plans that Trump’s administration had to shrink the government workforce because it undid some of the layoffs that were supposed to be permanent RIFs?
Todd Huff: And the deal said that all those RIFs were going to be—no one could be RIFed. Everybody was going to be brought back, and there couldn’t be any more RIFs until, I think, the end of January. So, look, I mentioned this early on in this shutdown, probably 40 days ago. Maybe five, six weeks ago.
Todd Huff: That this was going to be something that Trump was going to have the opportunity to do. As usual, ahead of that curveball here. Told you what was coming. They took those steps. Republicans undid that by negotiating or working with this negotiated deal.
Todd Huff: Was that caving? Is that necessary? You can read more on the website. What I really want to get to and just touch on here in the final segment. Again, I wish I had more time. I simply don't.
Todd Huff: Friends. There has been such tremendous success. I don't know. Trump posted—I think Trump posted crime statistics on probably Truth Social. I don't have that in front of me. I just had this article in front of me that shows Trump touts falling crime rates in this city—the city of Chicago—after ICE showed up in full force.
Todd Huff: Okay, so it's a graphic on Fox. Rapid Response 47 on X reposted that graphic. So here's the graphic: since the start of Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago—that's when they sent ICE in to do enhanced operations there.
Todd Huff: Since the start of that, which has been a couple of months now, I think—homicides are down 16%. Shootings are down 35%. Robberies are down 41%—almost cut in half. This comes from DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. That's the source of this—it’s on Fox News of the graphic they've reposted it on X.
Todd Huff: Transit crime is also down 20%, folks. And then Trump posted on social media here. I don't have time to read that. It's a Truth Social post. It's in the article if you want to see that. But this is what happens.
Todd Huff: This is what happens when you have people involved that actually want to fix crime. The crime problem that we have also—headline at The Epoch Times. This is also in the stack of stuff on the website. If you want to view it, take a read.
Todd Huff: I don't have time to spend talking about this because I'm down to the final 30 seconds or so. Headline here: 101 missing children in Memphis have been rescued by U.S. Marshals. 101 children in Memphis have been rescued by U.S. Marshals.
Todd Huff: It is remarkable what happens. Listen, the left is lawless. The left doesn't really want to address this issue of crime, as I've said. Before the left wants you to feel guilty and to vote for them to make everything right somehow.
Todd Huff: On some social plan or whatever that they've got concocted. They say no one's responsible for their individual choices. We're all responsible collectively. But Trump is solving it. I've got to go, folks. SDG.
