Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for conservative
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been
documented to prevents 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, that is right, my friends, Conservative not bitter. Indeed,
thank you so much, Glenn for that spectacular introduction. As usual, remarkably
consistent. Welcome today, my friends. Email should you want to be part
of the conversation, Todd at Todhoffshow dot com three one seven two one zero
twenty eight point thirty is where you can send those text messages. Be aware
that those message and data rates may apply. I don't charge you for those,
just your carrier might depending upon your plan and how that works. But
it is good to be here. Final two days, I should say,
before the Christmas break, the Christmas New Year holiday. I will not be
in next week tomorrow, is you know as it is with the Thanksgiving episode.
This is one of my favorite episodes that we do, which is the
final day I guess before Christmas. Voice, by the way, I hope
you would agree, is getting better, It's still not one hundred percent.
It's remarkable how this stuff can hang on from time to time. I feel
totally fine, there's nothing going on. It's just the way that it is.
And anyway, also today first day of winter, So what's that mean?
The longest the longest day of the year. Year is the shortest amount
of daylight hours in the northern hemisphere this time of year, and there are
places that literally see twenty four hours of darkness, which I can't even fathom
what that would be like. I don't like the shortness of the day's ere
and I'm in Indianapolis. I was gonna say sunny, and is this sunny?
I don't I think it is. Anyway, that means, though,
that means that from this point forward, we start increasing a little bit of
daylight, a little bit of daylight hours each and every day, all the
way to of course the summer solstice, which I'm looking for. I always
look forward to summer. Anyway, let's talk here today about what is going
on in Colorado. This, by the way, my friends, in one
way, was a I've seen the word shocking thrown around. I don't think
we should be shocked about anything in today's world as it pertains to Trump.
Remember, in order to properly understand this and what is going on, we
have to properly understand who Trump is and the threat that he poses to them.
None of this, my friends, is about protecting our democracy, as
they say, None of this is about saving our country. None of this
is about stepping in and doing the necessary constitutional dirty work to protect the integrity
of our elections, or to hold a former president of the United States accountable
for actions that he took on January sixth and twenty twenty one. None of
that. That is all a ruse, That is all a narrative, that
is all just complete hogwash. It's ridiculous. It is not true. It
provides them. It shouldn't provide them the political cover that it does for some
of these folks out there today consuming news, but it does. I do
think it is effective with fewer and fewer people. But nonetheless it is something
that is effective for some a segment of the population. And so the real
threat that Trump poses the Trump the real threat that Trump poses is that he
has proven to them, he has demonstrated to them that he actually means what
he says when it comes to certain policies when it comes to tax cuts,
when it comes to reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy. We have evidence
of this, just like we have evidence that President Bribery when he was Vice
president of the United States allegedly perhaps was engaged in some nefarious activity with his
son Hunter who, by the way, we found out this is in the
stack of stuff for today. Representative Eric Swalwell from the People's Republic of California
has admitted to helping Aid and a bet Hunter Biden when he was in the
process when he was in the process of acting in contempt of Congress when he
refused to testify, we played soundbites of that. Was that last week when
he did the political grand standing outside the Capitol. But anyway, so we've
got evidence of impropriety of potential bribery pay to play stuff with President Vice excuse
me, President Bribery when he was vice president of the United States, as
Republicans moved forward in the impeachment inquiry. Likewise, there is evidence that Trump
is implementing conservative limited government type principles. I'm not here to make the claim
that I think Trump is a constitutional conservative. Down the line, I think
Trump looks at these issues as kind of a common sense businessman would, and
that comes across across a little two folks. Ye, But you know,
I think he looks at these issues as he would run his businesses. That's
what I think. And I think that he typically concludes what constitutional conservatives conclude.
I think sometimes for different reasons. I think that's not always the case,
but in general that is the case. And for someone to have as
much popularity, as much support, as much just relentless and unstoppable power and
drive I think drives the world I'm searching for there just he's an unstoppable force,
right, And this terrifies them in virtually every way because they have for
the past say, half century, some number of decades, they, the
lovers of big government, have built layer upon layer, brick by brick,
building the bureaucratic state, building the swamp, milking people of their money,
increasing the cost of government that goes into their pocketbooks, into their retirement plans.
That's why we have people in government who make more than their counterparts make
in the private sector. So if you are an HR person in the federal
government and you're an HR person in the private sector, now I mean,
I'm just picking a random field, right, But statistically, if you compare
those fields what the person makes in the private sector what they make in the
federal government, typically they make more, substantially more in the federal government.
None of this, my friends, is the way it's supposed to work.
This the narrative that says that people go to Washington, d c. To
engage in public service is absurd. It's absurd, and I understand that some
people still have that mentality, and I applaud them for doing that. But
if you do it that way, you don't go there looking for a career.
You don't go there looking for, you know, just a way to
retire wealthy. That's not the same thing as going and serving your nation.
I'm not saying we have to make them, you know, beg for their
food and water, though sometimes I think that that might be I'm kidding,
but I think that if we had more of that mindset versus let's give these
folks everything they could possibly want, then maybe that would be a thinking.
I don't mean to that extreme, it's hyperbole. I'm just making a point.
Instead of saying, let's make him paid more than their counterparts in the
free market instead of that, maybe they should be actually they should be paid
a little bit less. I mean, you want to be able to attract
people that can do the job, but at the same time, you don't
want people that are looking for career paths. Someone like President Bribery, who's
been there for a half a century, He's been in DC for a half
a century. He blames Trump for everything. He's responsible for nothing. That's
how this is supposed to work, and it resonates somehow, some way in
the minds of some Americans. It's absolutely crazy, but this is where we
find ourselves. They fear him. They cannot stand the thought of him walking
back into that Oval office. They cannot comprehend that. They're terrified of that.
They don't know what that will mean. You've heard me on this program
repeatedly say that I do not believe that we should seek to use political power,
should we win elections, as a way of retribution. But my friends,
if justice demands that the people, the actions being taken by people today,
if those actions violate law, then it is an absolutely legitimate thing for
them to face, just like it was for the January sixth folks who broke
the law outside the capital, inside the capital, wherever they were. Anyone
who breaks the law needs to face justice. I mean this should go without
saying. When it stops going without saying, we've got a problem, that's
when it begins to be a problem. It's definitely a problem. And when
you say it and people say no, I refuse that Trump should suffer because
he's Trump and we've got that today. I don't want the left to suffer
because they're leftist. That doesn't even compute with me. I want the left
to be stopped. I want truth to be established and communicated. I don't
want people hiding behind closed doors. I don't want them abusing their powers.
And I certainly don't want a group of four judges to pull President Trump off
the primary ballot in the state of Colorado. Now I live in Indiana.
I'm not in Colorado, but we are on the radio and of course Denver.
We've been there for a little over a year, I believe, and
we're about to add two other stations starting January. Tewod I alluded to this
earlier. I guess it would have been earlier this week. I announced that
to you. But one of the stations is in Boulder, Another station is
in Colorado Spring. I don't live there, but we're going to be able
to talk more with people in Colorado. But this is a travesty. What's
happening. Seven judges in this state Supreme Court, four of them say that
Trump, because of the Fourteenth Amendment, because he engaged in quote unquote insurrectionist
activities, can be banned, will be removed from now. At this point,
it's the primary ballot. I don't know. You know, I'm not
a legal scholar, right, I at one point was in a pre law
program thinking about law school, decided that wasn't the path for me. I
never even took the l SAT. But I'm not a legal scholar. I
don't even want to play one here on this program. But you begin to
think, what are the ramifications of that? If the State Supreme Court says
that Trump engaged in act resur resurrection, insurrection activities, insurrection activities, Christmas
on the mind, and anytime I think if Christmas, I'm reminded of the
resurrection of Jesus. This is just the insurrection, insurrection of what happened what
they say happen. On January sixth of twenty one, Trump engaged in insurrection.
They say, therefore, because of the Fourteenth Amendment, he should be
removed from the ballot, and that right now is just the primary ballot,
I guess. I mean Trump's appealing is to the Supreme Court. But if
they choose not to hear it, or if they don't overrule this, does
that mean he's automatically not on the general election ballot? When we don't do
many predictions on here, but folks, when Trump wins the primary Republican primary.
When he wins it, will he be on the Colorado general election ballot?
Or does this decision apply across the board. I mean, if you
accept the premise and the argument and come to that conclusion, which is by
the way, insane to come to. But if that's the starting point,
I think I don't know how they would put him on the Colorado general election
ballot because if they say he engaged in insurrectionist activities, and the fourteenth Amendment
to the United States Constitution says that if you do such things, you cannot
be allowed to be president of the United States. I don't know what difference
it is between the primary and the general election ballot. But then again,
none of this has made since the entire way, but Trump's appealing it.
The vote was four to three. That should be pointed out. It's four
justices on the Colorado Supreme State Supreme Court voted to keep Trump off the Republican
primary ballot. Three of them said he should not be kept from that ballot.
So you have basically one justice, one justice unelected, telling people in
Colorado who they can vote for or as their nominee for President of the United
States. You want to talk about election medaling, you want to talk about
interfering in elections, Here's exhibit A. My friends timeouts in order plenty more
to get to my friends. We're going to talk about this and get to
some other things in the news as well. You're listening here to conservative not
bitter talk. I am your host, Todd huff voice is getting better,
not one hundred percent yet, but we're on the right path. My friends
back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. We're going
to proceed with caution here because I'm looking at an article here from cn IT
cnn dot com key takeaways from the unprecedented fourteenth Amendment. I've got lots of
information that I want to share with you. And this is kind of the
high points according to CNN, So we're going to be We're gonna walk carefully
through this because again it's CNN. No word as to yet as to whether
they had a meeting internally like they did when they were revealed exposed I should
say, by James O'Keefe when he was part of Project Verities for getting together
and manipulating the news narrative of the day. But nonetheless, here's what this
article says. The Colorado Supreme Court made history Tuesday with an unprecedented freeze in
your tracks ruling that former President Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to run in twenty
twenty four because the Fourteenth Amendments ban on insurrectionists holding public office covers his conduct
on January sixth, twenty twenty one. By the way, the Fourteenth Amendment
was written and it was a rat in the wake of the United States Civil
War reconstruction era. So the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment did a lot
of things as it pertained to what the Civil War was about. Right,
So you had the things pertaining to the end of slavery, and then things
like this which included which included how to handle people who were leading the charge
to fight for well, to fight to leave the Union of the United States
of America. And so this amendment was written with Confederate generals in mind,
Confederate leaders in mind, those that were pushing for separation from the Union.
That's what this was written for. And we're going to compare that. We're
going to use that, say, four leftist Colorado Supreme Court Democrat operatives in
the Colorado Supreme Court, they're going to use this, this rhetoric, this
well, they're going to use specifically the amendment, manipulate it so that they
can say that Trump engaged in insurrection by giving a speech questioning the integrity of
the election results, questioning the electors that were sent into the United States Senate
by states around the country because of problems. And there are and were problems
that we saw in twenty twenties election. I mean to deny that, I'm
not saying, folks, we never even had the real discussion on the merits
of individual problems, how big they were. That wasn't allowed. This was
what was shut down from actually even being discussed substantively. But to deny that
there were no problems is beyond naive, or it's just acting in complete ignorance,
or it is deliberately trying to mislead people from reality. There certainly were
problems that happened in the twenty twenty election. Now perhaps you say they weren't
there weren't enough of those anomalies and problems. Maybe you didn't see two thousand
mules. Maybe you don't care about two thousand mules. Maybe you think Densh
Desuza and his team made it all up. That's those are I mean,
you can draw conclusions, that's fine, But to say that there were no
problems, no evidence, no anything is not accurate. For starters. So
if that is true, then it only stands to that the person who was
affected by that in this case, Trump should at least be able to raise
those concerns and those questions. And so that's what he did on January sixth,
twenty twenty one, and he told the audience to peacefully and patriotically march
down to the US capital and let them know, let them hear what was
how they felt about the matter. There was pressure at the time that was
exerted on Vice President Mike Pence to send the electors back to the states,
say hey, there's enough problem here to where I cannot in good conscience accept
what you're telling me. Send these back to your states. You guys talk
about it, you guys figure it out. Whatever you send us at that
point, maybe you send us exactly what you have today. But your state
at least looks at it, confirms that they are confident and comfortable with these
numbers. Then at that point we've got no choice but to accept him.
That's what was asked of Pence. Pence did not do this. Pence did
not do this. Again. I'm always amazed when I talk about Pence on
this program. Of course, being a fellow Hoosier, there's that connection as
well. But I just I remember in twenty sixteen when people said, by
connecting himself to Trump and becoming his vice presidential running mate, that that was
the death knew for Mike Pence in his campaign and his future political ambitions and
so forth. Nothing could have turned out to be further from the truth.
What actually hurt Mike Pence was when he didn't take these steps, when he
came out in opposition to Trump, and again when he came out to run
for president. I told you on this show I have no idea what they
are thinking, other than they think that there's a possibility that Trump's going to
get taken out by these legal scandals and everything else, this sort of stuff
that we're talking about today. And then they think that out of the remaining
candidates, Mike Pince has a chance, which again seemed peculiar to me,
given the political mood of this country, given what I'm just sharing with you
about January sixth, and his decision to not question those electors and so forth,
and by the way he's he could have made the decision he made,
and I'm not. The bottom line is that a lot of these things that
Trump's being judged on were never even substantively looked at in say, a court
of law. In this process that's led up to Trump being removed from the
ballot for the Fourteenth Amendment in the state of Colorado. So then the question
is, to me, the question is if you've got a guy, I
mean, compare the Fourteenth Amendment was written, was ratified with Confederate generals,
Confederate leaders on the radar, that's who the the folks who ratified wrote ratified
that amendment had in mind people who took up arms and shot bullets at Union
Army, the Union Army at you know, they took the lives of of
Americans. That's who this amendment had in mind. And so now they're using
it for Trump, who gave a speech in the nation's capital and in that
speech told the crowd to peacefully and patriotically go to the Capitol and let their
disapproval be heard. Let them know, hey, we expect you to do
something about some of the stuff that we've seen that are that's fraudulent, questionable,
that doesn't make sense, late night vote dumps, simultaneously states shutting down
the counting of votes. I mean, none of this makes sense. And
folks, in a sane world you have you have third world countries that do
paper ballots that have counts in a fraction of the time. I mean,
it's none of this makes any sense. Water pipes leaking allegedly that didn't turned
out didn't turn out to be the case in Philadelphia precinct. I mean,
it's just so many things. Biden's overnight I mentioned the vote dump, how
he jumped. You've seen you've seen the uh the line that represented the number
of votes each Canada had, and how Biden's line went vertical at one particular
time. I mean, those things demand answers. Those things demand answers.
That is not how data comes in. It's simply not how that works.
Maybe there's an explanation. I'm being as gracious I know how to be.
Maybe there's an explanation, but you deserve to tell the American people. Then
on top of that, we had people like representatives in Georgia, which I
always believe was Jeff Duncan, and check me on that. I think it
was mister Duncan. He said, I can in five minutes explain to people
why Trump lost the election, to which I said, then go for it.
He's like, well, I don't have enough time. I don't have
enough time to talk one on one to every voter in the state of Georgia.
Well, no one suggests that you did, sir, But make a
video, make the rounds. If this many people question the election results,
it is incumbent upon you, as an elected official, someone who says I
know that what the results show is accurate and true. To communicate that and
to win the support of the people who are casting ballots. And if you
don't do that, if you don't make it a sincere attempt to do that.
Why don't you Something is wrong with that person, Something is absolutely wrong
with that person. That should be the number one job of government is to
is to prove to the people that elected it, the people who said we
are going to give you certain powers and authorities over us, not a lot,
not as many as you're taking. You have to then prove to the
people that the people that are running those offices have been put there in a
in a way that's accurate and true. If you do not have the consent
of the governed, if you do not have the trust of the governed,
what do you have? You have chaos. And they never tried to address
any of this, not one iota. And so to that, I say,
why why didn't they do that? They either don't care or they can't.
That's those are the options that were left with my friend. They never
tried, So they either knew they couldn't and thought strategically, we shouldn't do
it, or they said we don't care. We're in here. Either way,
either way unacceptable from our elected leaders. And again Trump is now being
removed from office because he told people to march peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol
and to voice their displeasure with what happened in twenty twenty. There is no
way, no way on planet Earth that it is justifiable what these Supreme Court
justices in Colorado did. Timeouts in order back in a minute, and welcome
back, my friends. So I've given the good bad guy who puts together
show clips and so forth soundbites that go on social media, giving him a
minefield to work with today because of the things that will get taken down on
social media pertaining to any question, any comment, anything at all that has
to do with any of this stuff pretending to election integrity simply by saying,
hey, I just have questions. I mean, what do you want me
to do about it? Pretend that I don't And you know that that is
I think the bedrock basis of of course, everything that happened after that point
in time, of course, is what happened what someone thinks about the election
results. And so I've given you a lot to work with there, the
good bad guy, make sure you dodge those minds appropriately. By the way,
my friends, when we think about Christmas time, Christmas time, which
is right around the corner, right around the corner. And I'm reminded,
well, just the Christmas story in general, which we'll talk about we'll talk
about tomorrow. And I'm reminded, of course, the magi bringing three gifts
to the Christ, to the baby Jesus, gold, Frankinson's and and myrrh.
And did you know, friends, that gold has out performed here in
the United States and the s and P. Five hundred, It's outperformed that
S and P. Five hundred and the Doallsands nineteen seventy one. When the
US took the dollar off of the gold standard, Folks, we have to
ask ourselves, is that a coincidence? When the US government allowed the people
to own gold once again, they reclassified gold as a commodity. You know,
as I think about this, I'm thinking, the magi just had the
gold to give, right, we had all this other stuff to contend with
our government. But when the government reclassified gold as a commodity rather than as
a paper currency backstop, even though the US hoards itself more gold and holds
more gold in the highest amounts in its physical reserves, then and then we
can even possibly imagine all countries, central banks, major institutions, even international
monetary fund itself. The IMF holds substantial amounts of gold. If all of
these entities have gold that control paper well Fiat paper money. If they have
it, wouldn't it make sense to possibly look at whether you should have it.
So if you would like to look at ways that you can do that,
encourage you to reach out to our friends at Harvard Gold Group. Website
is Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. Harvard like the university, but not like the
university in the woke sense. Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. Use promo code Todd,
my first name Todd, and you'll get a two hundred and fifty dollars

and article kind of factual points with this decision in this case to keep Trump
off the ballot. The court ruled in its four to three decision, one
justice. By the way, I think all these folks were appointed, I
believe, I think I saw this. I think this was in the Trump
statement. All of these judges justices were appointed by Democrats. Four to three
decision. So you could say you could say that almost enough Democrats thought that
this was too crazy. But one more person who was a Democrat decided that
it wasn't crazy or that they could at least get away with it. But
the ruling said that Trump engaged in an insurrection. That was the first thing
to point out. And again I give you some of the background last segment
as to how this pertained to people that were part of the Confederacy generals and
other leaders. Number Two, the quote unquote insurrectionist ban does apply to Trump.
This is according to the Colorado Supreme Court's decision. So not just so.
First they had to establish that he engaged in an insurrection, which is
unbelievably insane. Then from that they said, because of that insurrection, he
is now banned by the Constitution, the fourteenth Amendment, and it does apply
to him specifically. And then the last tidbit here, which is what's going
to happen next. The US Supreme Court will have the ultimate say. So
Trump, of course, has appealed this. This is going to the court.
No predictions here on what will happen. I have definite opinions on what
should happen. This should be thrown out the window immediately. This should be
thrown out the window. This first of all should be taken up by the
court and secondly should be thrown out the window in a nine zero fashion.
That's what should happen. What will happen, of course, is anybody's best
guests. So timeouts in order, quick time out, my friends. You're
listening here to conservative not better talk. I should advise you again, as
my vast, vast, vast team of attorneys have told me to share with
you, listening to this program may in fact cause you to lean to the
right. So exercise extreme caution, my friends, when operating a vehicle,
heavy machinery. Dare I say, even walking down the hallway carrying a cup
of coffee in Hopefully you're toat have show mug. Quick time out, my
friends back in a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So we'll see
where this whole situation goes. Well, the Trump or they excuse me,
the court here the case. Hopefully it should you know, in this in
this day and age, I mean, there is no guarantee, no guarantee
what's going to happen next. But the court should take up this case,
and the court Supreme Court United States Supreme Court should stop this in its tracks.
This is a political decision to applant to take the steps legally that this
court in Colorado, the Colorado Supreme Court, took our stretches beyond just I
think even the wildest imagination, the amount of steps that they took towards,
first of all, determining that it was an insurrection, what an attempt to
overthrow the government. I mean, it's just it's insane to me. It's
it's just like the Russian collusion hoax. And we talked about this a lot
on this program over the course of the past. In the past what is
it now, seven years or whatever, it's been the idea, the idea
that Trump and Putin colluded, and the final step of their collusion, their
grand scheme. The final step in the process was to run an advertising campaign
to trick Hillary voters in devoting for Trump. Now, I'm not here to
say the Hillary voters were making, you know, the most sound decisions,
and they could probably be tricked in a lot of different ways. If they
were, I would say, tricked into voting for Hillary, or wanting to
vote for Hillary, or being attracted to Hillary's philosophy, ideology, her candidacy.
That shows me that maybe they are susceptible to being fooled. But there's
no way that the last step and a grand conspiracy theory is an AD campaign.
And as I said on this program before and I'll say it again,
if an ad agency can pull that off for a political candidate, they will.
They would have every company on planet Earth knocking down their door to say,
run this campaign for us. They would also have every political candidate,
not just company, but anybody that had a message to get out. They
would be calling these people up. These people would be starting training for other
people in marketing and advertising. People would pay these folks massive sums of money
to teach them how to do a campaign that was so successful. None of
it makes sense, It defies logic in reality. But this is the narrative
of the day, the narrative of choice that has been thrust upon, forced
down the throats of the American people. And this is what they're sticking with.
And this idea that Trump engaged in an insurrection when telling people to peacefully
and patriotically make their voices be heard, it's just it's insane. And even
if let's say that the plan was to take over the Capitol, it wasn't
in fact, then you got to factor in why we're law enforcement firing tear
gases and rubber bullets into the crowd. That seems relevant to me in understanding
the grand scheme of things before, by the way, before any violence erupted,
that's what they were doing. We see that on the video that thankfully
Speaker Johnson released to all Americans here not too long ago. But even if
they took control the Capitol and that was the plan, then what I mean,
the idea that they suddenly become the governing force in the country, That's
just not how this works. It's so ridiculous, it's so absurd. There
was no insurrection, there was no coupe ata. There should be no removal
from the ballot. Timeouts in order of my friends back in a minute,
Welcome back, my friends. Not a lot of time. There's some other
stuff in the stack of stuff on the website Todd hubshow dot com. But
I will point out that there's of course a lot of people on the Trump
side who are well the Republican side in general. You may have seen Vivek
Ramaswami said, Hey, I'm gonna take me off the ballot too, which
I think strict Levek has done so many things that I think he's run this
campaign the right way as it pertains to opposing Trump in the primary while also
supporting Trump when it comes to this stuff. Even Chris Christie has criticized this.
Chris Christie, who's the resident Democrat on the debate stage in the Republican
Party, He's come out and he's critical of this as well. We've got
a former Scalia law clerk that calls this strikingly undemocratic, which of course is
an accurate depiction of reality as well. But anyway, that's what's going on
with this. The music's telling me it's time to wrap it up for the
day. My friends, Thank you so much for listening. Tomorrow is the
last day before we take a week off for Christmas. Have a great day,
my friends. SDG
