WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.639 Attention. You're listening to the Todd hf Radio show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.880 not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.599 documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:33.399 to the right. Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Todd Hoff. 5 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:42.000 Well, here's a headline that should make your day better. Democrat admits what 6 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:48.399 the worst case scenario would be leading up to twenty twenty four. And let 7 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.679 me just spoil the story. Here, spoil the peace. We are on 8 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.479 path for the worst case scenario for the Democrat Party, which of course means 9 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.920 what is best for this country? Three, Because, my friends, the 10 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.719 Democrat Party is burning this place to the ground in every conceivable way. Welcome 11 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.840 to the program. By the way, I am your host, Todd Huff 12 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.239 email should you want to be part of the conversation, Todd at Todd Huff 13 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.760 show dot com. Can also text three one seven two one zero twenty eight 14 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.760 thirty three one seven two one zero two eight three zero. This is town 15 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:34.200 Hall Katie Pavlets and kind of setting the stage for where we are heading into 16 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:42.000 twenty twenty four. Now keep that on pause for just a brief moment because 17 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.200 all of these things, you know, with everything going on, it's a 18 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.359 little challenging right now to talk about things in sort of a linear way. 19 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.879 They intersect with each other, these issues and things that are happening, and 20 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.239 it happens every election cycle. But my friends, there is so much. 21 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:07.520 There is so much going on out there, from the UAW strike and how 22 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:16.360 that impacts economic problems. Were already dealing with how that is impacted by government 23 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:23.479 regulations on certain types of vehicles, electric vehicles in particular, the type of 24 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.719 economy that this nation has. That's its own thing, but it intersects with 25 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.599 issues that we're talking about, issues that are relevant for the presidential election, 26 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.159 for our election of Congress, members of senators. We've got the House holding 27 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.759 its first Biden impeachment inquiry next Thursday, so a week from today, September 28 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:59.719 twenty eight, that will be when the first Biden impeachment inquiry hearing is held. 29 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:08.560 We're talking about subpoena ing financial banking records from Hunter Biden and Joe's brother, 30 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.280 I believe, I think I read that as well today. So there's 31 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:20.400 all this stuff going on. There is what's happening with Trump, what's happening 32 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.159 with his indictments and all of this. Of course we're on a collision course. 33 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.159 Puts us on a collision course for twenty twenty four, which is where 34 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:38.080 this article or the information here that Katie Pavlich is is talking about here comes 35 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.120 into play. So she writes the polling for Joe Biden's reelection chances against former 36 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:50.800 President Donald Trump and almost every other candidate running for the GOP comment nomination continues 37 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.319 to get worse by the week. Now, this is interactive polls. This 38 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.319 is a tweet that they sent out. When was this sent out a couple 39 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.520 of days ago? I think yes, September, So about a week ago. 40 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.280 Suffolk University saw your Business School and USA Today. That's who put this 41 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.879 poll together. Do you feel the economy is improving? Twenty percent of American 42 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.160 city economy is improving. Seventy percent seven zero say that it is getting worse. 43 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.879 Now I find myself wondering where are these twenty percent? I mean, 44 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:33.279 is this the twenty percent that only gets their opinions on their own life from 45 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:42.040 the media. Are these folks who see improvement to mean the destruction of a 46 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:47.560 free market so that they can replace it with a socialistic or worse type of 47 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.079 market. Is that? What is that what they're after? Is that what 48 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.040 they mean by improving? Are these people that work in the government, Are 49 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.560 these members of Antifa? Are these people in the administration? I don't know, 50 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:08.120 But twenty percent say it is improved improving, and seventy percent live in 51 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.399 the real world and know that it is getting worse. I guess ten percent 52 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.399 either didn't I didn't have it here, but ten percent either didn't know or 53 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.480 thought it was staying the same. Who do you trust more? The next 54 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.959 question to improve the economy? Now this is interesting. This is where it 55 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.920 really gets interesting. Forty seven percent say Trump, thirty six percent say Biden 56 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.120 again. Now, how in the world, How in the world. I 57 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.560 don't care. If you just let's say you hate Trump. Let's say you 58 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:45.399 think Trump tried to overthrow the country our democracy in January of twenty one. 59 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.480 Let's say that you just think that he deserves prison. I still don't understand. 60 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.040 I still don't understand. If asked the question who do you trust more 61 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.600 to run to improve the economy your answer being Biden, I mean your answer 62 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.680 should be anything else. Your answer could be a leaf Blower. I mean, 63 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:08.639 at this particular point in time, for thirty six percent of Americans to 64 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:15.720 say that Biden is more trustworthy to improve the economy. He has he and 65 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.839 his ideas, his policy, his policies, his view of what the government's 66 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:27.560 relation to the economy and the market should be. They have those things have 67 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:35.000 directly one hundred percent caused this one hundred percent inflation. I've said it countless 68 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:42.079 times on this program. Inflation is not simply that the simple answer for the 69 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:49.680 individuals who are either too lazy or they just don't know it passes the test 70 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.160 for them to hear, inflation simply means the increase, the increase in the 71 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.279 cost of things that they buy. And that's not one hundred percent true. 72 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.120 Now what's true, of course, is inflation does increase the costs or the 73 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.920 prices of things that they're buying because there's a specific reason for that, and 74 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:16.839 it's because the government. The government overproduced the amount of money and the money 75 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:23.279 supply. That is the key factor, because there's a myriad of reasons why 76 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:29.680 prices can go up. And also, inflation hits across the board uniformly, 77 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.399 meaning meaning it it hits everywhere. It doesn't just hit a particular sector. 78 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.560 It doesn't just hit gas prices. Right when Biden comes out and blames you 79 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.240 know, if you blame inflation simply for the gas prices we have, you're 80 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.759 missing the larger point as to why they are what they are. It's not 81 00:07:53.959 --> 00:08:00.519 just because the currency has been made worthless, not completely worth shit, but 82 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.560 worth less than it should be to where you have to use more of it 83 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.199 to buy the things that you normally buy. That's inflation. It's also that 84 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.600 there are taxes built in, massive taxes. I've been through this before. 85 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.680 In fact, I had an individual that I have known since I was in 86 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.120 high school, and he was going off on big oil. And I'm not 87 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.920 a defender of big oil, by the way. I'm a defender of truth, 88 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.039 and I think we have to understand truth. That's what's important. There 89 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.039 is blame to be assigned in multiple places. But we can't just uniformly wag 90 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.519 our finger at big oil and say you're the problem, because that's not true. 91 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.799 The biggest culprits, the biggest problem when it comes to our economy, 92 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.159 make no mistake about it, is the government. It is the government, 93 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.799 my friends. Does big business have some responsibility. Absolutely does in the case 94 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.279 of UAW going on strike, do they bear some responsibility as it pertains to 95 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.960 the auto industry right now? You bet you. All those things are true. 96 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.159 And just like the automakers, I mean, but the government, you 97 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.399 trace this back. I don't want to get into I'm going to stay on 98 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.080 this article here from Katie Pavlich. But you trace back what happened with the 99 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.759 United Auto Workers when the federal government basically came in and remember this back in 100 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:30.519 two thousand was it two thousand and nine or so, when they bailed out 101 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.120 bailed out the Big Three, Right, that's when all of this stuff. 102 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.159 You can trace so much of this to that point in time. And on 103 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.120 top of that, you can also point out some of the problems, like 104 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:52.919 government regulating the efficiency of vehicles, government regulating the production of electric vehicles, 105 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.039 there's no infrastructure. Look, I don't care. I have family members, 106 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.200 I know people that have electric vehicles. If you want to buy one, 107 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:07.080 that's great, that's your prerogative. What I don't want is for you or 108 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.840 anyone else to be forced to have to do this, especially especially when force 109 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.519 government. By the way, it's synonymous with force, when government forces you 110 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.279 to do anything. When government forces you to do anything, what they're also 111 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:26.919 doing is creating kind of a ripple effect across the economy. So it's not 112 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.519 just that they're forcing you to buy an electric vehicle. They're also forcing the 113 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.960 hand of let's say, building the infrastructure for charging electric vehicles. We have 114 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.559 no I mean we have a tiny bit. But if there were no gas 115 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.799 vehicles on the road today, no diesel powered vehicles on the road today, 116 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.919 we would not You couldn't get anywhere. You would have to stay within wherever 117 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.559 your car could take you on a charge because you wouldn't be able to charge 118 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.559 the thing, or there would have to be some other invention. The market 119 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.559 would have to come in and save the government from the mess that it has 120 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.240 created. One the problem in the economy is the government. So then the 121 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.600 basic question is which one of these people Trump or Biden, Which one of 122 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.399 these people is in favor of their being more government, Because the person who 123 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.399 thinks there should be more government in managing and controlling the economy is by definition 124 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.720 the person who's the problem. And it doesn't matter about any of these other 125 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.759 things that are happening. That does matter for the larger interest of the country, 126 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.360 your liberty or freedom. But just when it comes to this question, 127 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.440 who do you trust more to improve the economy, Trump or Biden? One 128 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.600 should be able to look at this and understand that the problem comes from the 129 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.120 person who wants the government to do the most. And you look at what 130 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:52.279 Trump did with the economy. He cut taxes, he cut regulation, He 131 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.279 tried to open up more exploration and drilling. He tried to make those processes 132 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.159 easier. Those are all good things. They're not magic call bullets, because 133 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.080 that basically just eliminates obstacles for the market and allows then the market to go 134 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.759 fix itself, to go do what it has to do. So but what's 135 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.840 also interesting here is when they asked independence. When they asked independence, whether 136 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:26.399 they believe Trump or Biden was more trustworthy to improve the economy. Forty six 137 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:33.279 percent said Trump, twenty six percent said Biden. That's plus twenty for Trump 138 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.320 with independence on the handling of the economy. That's a big deal. There 139 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:46.559 also was a two twenty four presidential election poll conducted by CBS News and My 140 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.639 Friends. Trump is up. Trump is at fifty percent. That's also interesting, 141 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.559 fifty forty nine. You know, normally at this stage in the process. 142 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.720 Normally, at this stage in the process, we're still a ways out. 143 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.320 We don't even know for certain that this is gonna be who's going to 144 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.960 be on the ticket. Unless something crazy happens, then this is going to 145 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.080 be who's on the ticket. But we don't know for certain. We haven't 146 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.600 not a single ballot has been cast in the primary. But it is a 147 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:22.080 safe bet still because Trump is trouncing the competition. He's not even competing with 148 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.960 the kind of thing about that he's not even competing. They're having a debate. 149 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.200 He says, go do your thing, it doesn't matter. I'm walloping 150 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.559 all of you. I'm going to go speak, he says during the debate 151 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.679 with UAW members, which, by the way, I saw an article today 152 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:41.200 that says that the head of the UAW is very upset that Trump is going 153 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.759 to be speaking to union members, which is exactly what I think Republicans should 154 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.159 do. There are a lot of people in the Union who either vote voted 155 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.360 for Trump, will vote for Trump. They see the problem that Biden has 156 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:01.360 created, they see the problems. Look, they see the problems that their 157 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.120 union has created as well. Anyway, but you got this poll, Trump's 158 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:11.039 up fifty forty nine, and amongst the independents, he's up fifty seven to 159 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.039 forty two. So you start looking at these things, you look at what's 160 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.559 coming here in the next well next week, I mentioned off the top the 161 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:26.279 beginning of the Biden impeachment inquiry. That's going to begin. Trump's going to 162 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.159 be getting back in front of more people. We talked about this yesterday. 163 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.840 The more he is able to talk about things and more people hear him, 164 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.279 the more he moves the needle. I shared earlier in the week, back 165 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.120 in earlier this summer, or maybe even later later than that, back into 166 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.960 the spring or late last year, the number of Republicans who believed that the 167 00:14:52.440 --> 00:15:00.960 Biden election was legitimate, well, let's say illegitimate. People in the Republican 168 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.320 Party who said I don't believe that Biden won a legitimate election in twenty twenty 169 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.759 was in the low sixties right back in the springtime. It's now up to 170 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:16.200 sixty nine percent, So it increased. People have more doubts about the election 171 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.480 results now than they did six months ago or whatever a year ago. And 172 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.679 whatever you think about that, don't get stuck on that at the moment I'm 173 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.399 just saying, Trump's out there talking about it. The needle has moved right, 174 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.240 The needle has moved in Trump's favor. The people more Republicans are agreeing 175 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.279 with Trump. I'm saying, forget about the issue, take the emotion out 176 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.639 of it for just a moment, and say that is how. That is 177 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.919 the other thing that's going to happen during this campaign. He's going to go 178 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.600 out there and he's going to move more people. He's not, folks, 179 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.000 his starting point was going to be his low point, you know. I 180 00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:02.200 mean, after think about it, what he's gone through with impeachments and Russian 181 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.840 collusion, nonsense in Ukraine and the perfect call in January sixth, and in 182 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.159 indictment one, two, three, four, whatever indictment we're up to now 183 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:18.360 though he's the negatives are baked in. Trump only has one way to go 184 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.919 from here. I can't even imagine the only other play, the only other 185 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.919 thing that they can do that could they hope hurt Trump as if they somehow 186 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.159 get a conviction before the election, which is unlikely just because of the timelines 187 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.879 of how court cases work. But again, I don't put it past them 188 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.799 to ram this thing through simply for that purpose. They'll probably set a trial 189 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.679 date for October thirty one of twenty twenty four or some such thing, or 190 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.639 you know what I mean. This is how they do it. Put it 191 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:53.000 right in the heart of the election season, the general election, right before 192 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.240 it, when they were hiding Hunter Biden's laptop last year or last election, 193 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.320 I should say, twenty twenty. That's the same time that they might want 194 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:06.559 to see Trump and cameras in the Trump courtroom, him testifying. They can 195 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.119 get him in handcuffs or an orange jumpsuit. They would love that. But 196 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.519 that's the only play they really have left. It is, and it's a 197 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:17.680 big one, and would it persuade people maybe, But it's also I think 198 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:23.039 going to infuriate people that still, for whatever reason, are not ready to 199 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.279 vote simply seeing what they've already seen, which is crazy to me. There's 200 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.200 gonna be people that are still gonna say, I'm going to vote for Trump 201 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:36.000 because what is happening in this country, what is happening to this president, 202 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.039 absolutely should not be happening. And so it's a worst case scenario for the 203 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.640 Democrat Party. So that's what Katie Pavlich article is talking about. And that's 204 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.200 what these other pieces of the puzzle. This is not a good situation for 205 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.400 the Democrat Party and that should bring us hope. Not because I personally want 206 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.319 the Democrat Party to fail. I want anything to fail that is in the 207 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.839 best interests of liberty in this country and for the American people. And right 208 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.599 now, my friends, and for some time, the Democrat Party has not 209 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.759 been on the side of liberty. The Democrat Party has not been on the 210 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:19.799 side of the American people the constitution. It is full of radical leftist hatred 211 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.119 and venom, and that has to be stopped at all costs. It's not 212 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:30.240 personal to me, but that Democrat Party must not have political power or else, 213 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.000 my friends, we are even in for even worse problems beyond twenty twenty 214 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.359 four. Quick time out long in this segment. My friends are listening here 215 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.039 to conservative not better talk. I am your host, Tod Hugh. Back 216 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:52.039 in just a minute. I'll come back, my friends. So I mentioned 217 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.359 a little bit about this you aw strike, excuse me, you aw strike. 218 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:03.960 The Big Three President of the union UAW United Auto Workers Union is Sean 219 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:10.359 Fayne. He released a statement recently in the past couple of days about Trump 220 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:15.279 speaking to the union members. And remember when the debate, the next debate 221 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:22.279 happens, Trump is going to be speaking with union members that night instead of 222 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:29.759 on the debate stage with the other Republican quote unquote candidates. So this is 223 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:36.440 what that statement read, in part. Every fiber of our union, I'm 224 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.519 looking here by the way at hotair dot com. Every fiber of our union 225 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.599 is being poured into fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like 226 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:53.480 Donald Trump at the expense of workers. We can't keep electing millionaires and billionaires 227 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.039 that don't have any understanding of what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck. 228 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:07.000 He then added that about Trump that those who struggle to get by and 229 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.599 expecting them to solve the problems of the working class. So a couple of 230 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:22.440 things about this number one. Number one, it's a you know, I'm 231 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.960 I am. I've shared before that I'm my dad. My dad was a 232 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:33.759 member of United Auto Workers Local nine thirty three, actually when I was younger. 233 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:40.480 He's since retired. I'm not a guy that's just at anti union in 234 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:45.119 general. I mean I think that hey, that's between the company and its 235 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.039 workers. I am not a fan of unions amongst the federal workforce, because 236 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.000 I'll tell you why that the reason I'm not in favor of unions in the 237 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:06.200 federal workforce is that they're effectively unizing against the taxpayer. And pause that for 238 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.160 a moment. And this is this coincides with what I'm saying here. So 239 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:17.559 you may have heard people like the Santas Ramaswamy, Trump's said stuff about this 240 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.400 reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy, right, because over the past several 241 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.480 years, it's obvious, it's obvious to any person interested in seeing things objectively 242 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:32.039 and seeing things for the way that they are, that there's massive problems within 243 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:44.039 the bureaucratic state. The unelected professionals who are who are basically in positions to 244 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:52.039 make decisions, in positions to either support the president. They should be supporting 245 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:59.119 the president that's in office no matter what, because that's their job, because 246 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:04.559 that's part these jobs are in the executive branch. And there's reason to believe 247 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:11.640 there's evidence that there that that didn't happen when Trump was president. And why 248 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:18.480 didn't it happen, Well, because they didn't like his policies or some of 249 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.440 those policies may impact the federal the federal workforce. And so Biden is actually 250 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:29.279 trying to do something now that was in the stack of stuff earlier this week. 251 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.759 I might put it in today's stack of stuff too, since I'm mentioning 252 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:41.039 it. But Biden is trying to make it harder for Trump or whoever de 253 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.559 Santis or Ramaswami or whoever eventually becomes commander in chief, chief executive in this 254 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.240 in this country. And maybe this is multiple of these individuals in a row, 255 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.519 because again I think it's clearly going to be Trump or the Democrat in 256 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:03.079 twenty twenty four anyway. So, but the idea is that they're going to 257 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.480 try to make it harder to come in and get rid of the workforce. 258 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.039 And it has to do with technical stuff about how they're classifying the types of 259 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.880 jobs and how hard it is to get rid of folks. And part of 260 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:23.960 that is the federal union process and how they protect people, how they protect 261 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.039 people that sometimes just simply need to be fired. I mean, that's there's 262 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.960 no two ways about it. Look, I'm not I understand people looking for 263 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:40.039 protection of their jobs. I don't. I don't have a problem with that. 264 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.400 I have a problem when we're defending people and making it impossible to hire 265 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.960 people that are in some cases trying to thwart the intention of the President of 266 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:56.119 the United States when they're in the executive branch. And even if they just 267 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.720 need to be eliminated, maybe maybe they're their wages are way out of control, 268 00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.759 They're benefits are astronomically expensive. Those things, by the way, their 269 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:10.440 retirements, those things are unfunded liabilities. When we talk about thirty three trillion 270 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.920 in debt, we're not even talking about some of the federal expenses we have 271 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.960 in these categories. There's no doubt whatsoever that the federal workforce needs to be 272 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:23.839 reduced. And Ramaswami and Trump and the Santis are absolutely correct for saying these 273 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:30.680 things, up to and including even the complete eliminations of departments, departments of 274 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.720 education or whatever else IRS has been floated out there as well, which I 275 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:40.319 mean, again, I'm fine. I'm fine with these things. I absolutely 276 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:48.640 am. Anyway, So, federal unionization is something I'm one hundred percent against. 277 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.880 If you want to have a union between a company and its employees, 278 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.960 I mean, I suppose that's between them. So but at the same time, 279 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.279 at the same time, I'm not okay with some of this what's being 280 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:10.039 said, because what's being said here is creating a false narrative, right, 281 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:15.400 creating a false narrative here, and it's creating it's creating the fight between the 282 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:22.119 wrong types of people. So when mister Fayne writes how the fight is against 283 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:27.680 billionaires and the working class, I would suggest, and look, I'm not 284 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.359 saying that there's not problems with either of those groups or either of those individuals 285 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.640 within those groups. But what I am saying is the first battle we have 286 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:42.559 to fight, and we have to fight it together, is Americans against their 287 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:49.359 government. That is the first and most important fight because why are people struggling 288 00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.759 financially? It's inflation? Why is their inflation? We've been through that. 289 00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.359 Why do we have thirty three trillion dollars of debt? Why are we giving 290 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.319 Ukraine bazillions of dollars every time the sun rises? Why are we? And 291 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.680 I know there's a lot that goes into these discussions. That's a whole nother 292 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:15.680 that's a whole other rabbit hole to go down, But but the question is 293 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.240 why, ultimately, why are we spending money at the rate we're spending it 294 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:26.240 and creating massive problems for both groups of people. You're taxing people who have 295 00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.359 more, more resort, more income or whatever. You're taxing those people, 296 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.559 taking more of theirs. And for those who don't have as high incomes, 297 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:44.960 you're making it harder on them by interfering in the economy, adding to inflation, 298 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.480 making it harder to pay the bills, making it harder to survive. 299 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.279 And then you're pitting them against each other. This has to stop. And 300 00:26:53.319 --> 00:27:00.599 that's not a defensive billionaires or anything like that, because, by the way, 301 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.200 they're not bad people by virtue of being billionaires. And that's and some 302 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.839 people have a problem with me saying that, well, they have too much 303 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.160 money, they could write a check and solve the world's problems. If only 304 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.759 it were that easy, my friends. It's most of the world's problems are 305 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:22.079 not due to money. Most of the world's problems are due candidly to two 306 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:30.359 things, to governments and to people making really atrocious choices that in some cases 307 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.880 impact a lot of people, or sometimes impact it's just my personal choices impact 308 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:42.160 us personally. The idea that some billionaires you have less because some billionaire has 309 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:47.960 it is just not the way that a free economy works, the pie grows, 310 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.680 the pie grows. The government needs to get out of the way. 311 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.640 Let it happen. Quit pitting side, picking sides, and quit pitting people 312 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.440 against each other. My goodness, my friends, quick time out back in 313 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:12.480 just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. You know that we are 314 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:18.799 in expansion mode. In fact, we're looking. We're looking now. I 315 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.000 hope to here in the next a few weeks have some new stations to tell 316 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:29.039 you that we'll be adding to the to the lineup around the country. I 317 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.640 can't do it yet. This is all new for me, by the way, 318 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:37.240 this whole process of joining the network at Audio one and so forth, 319 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.400 and just you know, getting ramped up and all that sort of thing. 320 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.720 But anyhow, you know that as we do this that I have needed some 321 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.200 help. I've needed some help in one of those areas I've gotten you, 322 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.480 and I think Todd needs a lot of help. And you know what, 323 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:57.200 you wouldn't be wrong. The area that I have gotten a ton of help 324 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:02.599 in that's been much need is in the area of our ad sales. I 325 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.559 used to do early on. I used to tell you that I used to 326 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:10.680 talk. I used to know personally every advertiser I still know many of them, 327 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.720 but as we've grown, it's become, you know, impossible to do. 328 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:18.319 But some folks literally have been with us, like Economy, heating, 329 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.319 air conditioning, and plumbing. I've been with us for eight seven years, 330 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:29.559 starting about to start their eighth year. It's just crazy to me how fast 331 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:34.160 time goes and just the loyalty that these folks have, and it's just been 332 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:40.119 a wonderful experience. But that responsibility I've had to pass off to other folks. 333 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:45.799 And we've passed off building the sales team and ad sales to a group 334 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.519 called Sales Arbiter. It's my friend Crispin Cruise. Don't tell him I said 335 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.599 that he gets we get a big head over these things. Crispin, if 336 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:57.880 you're listening, I guess I'm busted. But Crispin and his team help us 337 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:03.319 a lot.

If you're 345 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.880 interested in or have that need, I encourage you to reach out sales arbiter 346 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:52.319 dot com or Google Crispin Crews. Check him out, reach out, be 347 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.519 sure to tell them that you heard about him here on the Titup Show. 348 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.160 So right, I look at the clock here. Let me think about this. 349 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.720 I need to take a break. I don't want to start something and 350 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:08.279 cut it off too short. So we're gonna take a break here. As 351 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:14.119 we're continuing to this conversation into some of these comments made by the UAW president 352 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:22.119 as it pertained as it pertains to just well overall the election. He's not 353 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.559 happy. He's not happy that Trump's going to be speaking to union members, 354 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.519 which says a lot, right, I mean it says a lot. I 355 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:37.279 wonder how upset this union president is with Biden president bribery. He seems like 356 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.400 he, I mean, didn't bad hasn't bad mouth that at all. That 357 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:44.880 I've seen, but he doesn't want Trump speaking to the members. That's it's 358 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.720 crazy if you stop and think about it, especially when you understand what we 359 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.000 laid out last segment, which is the problem that we have in this country. 360 00:31:53.079 --> 00:32:00.039 Economically starts and I would say ends with ends with government, and it 361 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.240 starts and ends with those who think they can control it. It doesn't mean 362 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:08.599 that there's no bad capitalists, because obviously there are. There's bad individuals in 363 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.559 every group. But when you give these jokers and clowns too much money and 364 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:20.640 they start trying to manipulate situations, the market pick winners and losers. In 365 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:24.279 the case of where the Hunter Biden laptop may take us takes us to actually 366 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:30.799 all out corruption and pay to play scandals allegedly, possibly, you can see 367 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:37.039 full blown problems happening in massive, massive ways. So I'm gonna take a 368 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:38.400 break. There's another thing in the news that I want to get to as 369 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:45.799 well, time permitting. Here an election that a Democratic candidate has said has 370 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.000 been stolen from him. I want to talk about that time permitting as well, 371 00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:54.440 because I've been told that elections are perfectly secure and that nothing there's not 372 00:32:54.519 --> 00:33:00.680 even a single ballot that's cast, that is fraudulent. It's the safest thing 373 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.920 in the history of the world. Remember when they were saying, by the 374 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:08.119 way election this is the safest, most secure election ever. What does that 375 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:13.880 even mean? Were the others not secure? It just it's just stupid, 376 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:17.680 stupid words that come out of these fool's mouths. Anyway, timeouts in order 377 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:35.640 come back after the break and hit those two things back in just a minute. 378 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:37.599 You know, I really want to talk about this election thing, but 379 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:44.680 let me just say this. In closing about these Union the UAW President's remarks, 380 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.200 he says, we can't keep electing millionaires and billionaires that don't have any 381 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.680 understanding of what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get 382 00:33:53.079 --> 00:34:00.680 by and expecting them to solve the problems of the working class. I get 383 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.440 it. Look, I understand, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to elect 384 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:16.679 people who can relate, obviously to what you are experiencing. However, however, 385 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:23.000 it focus focuses us on the wrong thing. It focuses us instead of 386 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.480 on the problem that is coming out of Washington, DC, out of our 387 00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:32.920 state houses, out of our city government, government's county government, all of 388 00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:39.079 it. It focuses us instead of those things. It pits us against each 389 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:46.119 other. It creates a series a type of class warfare, and I just 390 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:52.320 vehemently disagree with us. We are Americans. We are Americans first. I 391 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:58.960 would be much more concerned if I was a member of a union, not 392 00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:04.719 with the next worth of the president. I would be much more concerned about 393 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.800 a president that was creating policies that was harming my family, that was making 394 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:15.960 my pay worth less, that was potentially potentially selling this country down the river 395 00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:22.599 so that his son could allegedly get wealthy off of these lucrative business deals. 396 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:28.239 That to me would be much more concerning. And I think that the vast 397 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:35.159 majority of Americans agree with that, agree with that as well. So shifting 398 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.679 gears here. I know that there's a lot more to say about the union, 399 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:45.960 the deal that they've refused and twenty one percent paid pay increase and a 400 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.159 four day work week and all that. I just don't want to get into 401 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.480 that at the moment, because I want to put this on your radar. 402 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.039 I want to put this on your radar. If you have not seen this 403 00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.400 yet, this is again. I'll put this in the stack of stuff. 404 00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:07.440 The Federalist dot com Democrat produces video alleging Bridgeport mayor stole election by stuffing ballot 405 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:14.280 boxes. Again, this is at the federalist dot com Mark Hemingway. Democrats 406 00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:17.800 and media keep insisting that absentee ballots and mail in voting don't contribute to voter 407 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:25.519 fraud, but a mayoral election in Connecticut could blow a big hole in that 408 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:30.920 dubious claim. So, according to the Brookings Institution, there's no evidence that 409 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:37.000 mail ballots increase electoral fraud. That is a quote from the Brookings Institute. 410 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.840 USA Today purports to quote fact check the false claim that mail in ballots, 411 00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:46.400 mail in voting is connecting to bad act connected to bad actors fraudulent ballots. 412 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:53.440 The Brennan Center for Justice informs US extensive research reveals that fraud is very rare. 413 00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:58.559 While it's important not to make claims about it, the existence of voter 414 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:05.119 fraud you can't prove. What's also true is that nearly all of the analyzes 415 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.760 dismissing concerns about voter fraud and mail in ballots rest on a logical fallacy. 416 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:15.719 Now listen to this. This is this is putting it very very concisely, 417 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.679 and this is exactly right. Again, this is Mark Hemingway at the Federalist. 418 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:28.119 So this is the logical fallacy that people who are trying to dismiss claims 419 00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:31.559 of actual voter fraud election fraud. This is the fallacy they're making. And 420 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:38.039 this is how he puts it. The absence of evidence is evidence of absence. 421 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:45.039 Let me say that again. He's saying they are making this logical fallacy 422 00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:52.039 believing that the absence of evidence equates to or is equal to the evidence of 423 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.480 absence. So, in other words, that just because you cannot you don't 424 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:04.239 have a video of everything that's happening, it doesn't mean that there that there 425 00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.559 is evidence that this was the most secure election on history in the history of 426 00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.920 the world, right, the most secure, safest election ever, which is 427 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.760 preposterous, by the way. And so here we go. And then when 428 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.960 you combine that with the fact that we're not allowed to look at these things, 429 00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.400 the problem becomes much much bigger. Anyway, that's gonna be on the 430 00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.079 stack of Stuff page on the website at todtufshow dot com. I think it's 431 00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.880 worth a read if you can find your way over there. But I'm gonna 432 00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:32.239 take a break with my friends.
