WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.440 Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:08.679 not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.400 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lead 4 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:33.240 to the right. Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.640 A conservative not bitter. I'll tell you what, my friends, that is 6 00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:45.520 a rare quality, indeed, in today's world, especially for those on the 7 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:54.200 rabid, anti god extreme fringes of the radical left still out there looking for 8 00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:00.560 the alternative, the left's version of conservative not liberal. Good luck or excuse 9 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.960 me, liberal not bitter. I should say, a conservative not liberal would 10 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.400 work as well. But anyway, my friends, it's a pleasure to be 11 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.519 here. Email. Should you want to be part of today's discussion, you 12 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.560 can do that at emailing Todd at Todd of Show dot com. You can 13 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.560 also text us three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. That is 14 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.159 the number at the office. I do check those and respond. I've got 15 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.359 some to respond to respond to, so forgive me if I've not gotten back 16 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.599 to you, but I do my best to get back quickly. Just make 17 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.799 sure make sure you include the appropriate amount of adoration and praise, which is 18 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.359 about fifteen percent more. I might even say fifteen to twenty percent more. 19 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.879 I usually say ten to fifteen. But I'm feeling like I need an extra 20 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.680 boost of adoration and praise today. Kidding, not kidding, my friends. 21 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.120 It is my pleasure to be here. So I want to start today. 22 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.560 I want to start today with I'm want to get to several things, but 23 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.640 the thing that I want to start with today first and foremost, and we'll 24 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:07.159 get to this testimony on Capitol Hill. A little bit about Riley Gaines. 25 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.639 In a moment, probably in one of the latter segments, she was testifying 26 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:23.039 about biological men competing against biological women. Not only that, biological men sharing 27 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:30.000 locker rooms, getting buck naked in there with biological women. We're supposed to 28 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.319 act like that's not a thing. I admire the heck out of this Riley 29 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.599 Gaines. Appreciate her courage and her willingness to go in there and do what 30 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.240 a lot of people know is the right thing to do, but they're just 31 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.560 afraid to stand up to the well to the radical left mob. And the 32 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.520 issue at the moment, and the issue of the moment is the transagenda. 33 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.840 So we'll get to that. We'll get to that in due course. I 34 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.000 want to start, however, in the stack of stuff. I want to 35 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.840 start with this. I saw a discussion here we go. I was having 36 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:14.280 trouble finding this. So this is something that I just think is completely appropriate 37 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:24.719 to discuss, given well, just the way that the left creates a straw 38 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.039 man. We went through this recently, a straw man. And I know 39 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.159 most of you know this. Many of you know this. If you don't, 40 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.599 it's fine, But we went through this. It might have been earlier 41 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.719 this week, not this particular subject, but we talked about a strawman. 42 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:42.400 A straw man is when you are having a debate, a discussion and arguing 43 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.000 different points of view, which is not really candidly allowed to happen in today's 44 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.199 world. Fact, as I've said on here before, ever, so brilliantly, 45 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.639 you're given you're given the basic facts of a situation. And basically what 46 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:02.439 that would mean is you are given just a quick one sentence summary of something 47 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:09.560 that happened. Somebody was arrested, some accident took place, some police officer 48 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:16.879 did something that ended that you ended very very badly no context. In most 49 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:23.000 cases, you're just given the statement. You're given the race and gender and 50 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.079 ethnicity of the of what they present as the victim, which sometimes is the 51 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.439 victim and sometimes turns out not to be the victim. And then they give 52 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:36.360 you the race, gender, ethnicity and so forth of the what they alleged 53 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.079 to be the perpetrator, who they alleged to be the perpetrator, and you 54 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.519 get point two seconds to decide which side of the aisle, which side of 55 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.399 the argument you come down on. That is. That's about as far as 56 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:53.759 we get into true debate today. Now, I believe in good old fashioned, 57 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.279 healthy debate. I also believe, and I'm cool with, to a 58 00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:02.000 certain degree, certain extent, a little bit of a little bit of good 59 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.879 political theater and drama, but it has to be for a purpose, meaning 60 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.120 a specific purpose, to make a specific point. I think there's a time 61 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.879 and we even use some of the some of these tools on this program, 62 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:21.279 hyperbole, sarcasm, satire, a little bit of drama and so forth, 63 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.000 just to make a point. I mean, this is important. We have 64 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.639 to give people the freedom and ability to communicate ideas, especially ideas that are 65 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.720 centered around political things. The way that we live our lives, what we 66 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.720 allow our government to do, and so on and so forth, and so 67 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:45.560 we have to give people have to have the freedom to articulate and help communicate 68 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:53.600 an idea and a problem, say with a particular action that maybe the government 69 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.759 has taken, and so forth. There has to be some well a lot 70 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:03.439 as ultimate freedom in one's ability to express those things. And so we use 71 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.480 some of these things. But there's a thing called a straw man. And 72 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:15.120 now a straw man is something that is not designed to help yourself communicate your 73 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.759 positions or your beliefs, or the person who's actually making the argument. A 74 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:26.639 straw man is designed to misrepresent, to misrepresent what the other side is actually 75 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.519 arguing. So, for example, a straw man would be when one side 76 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:39.839 of the argument mischaracterizes the other side's argument, typically intentionally. I suppose this 77 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.279 could some I don't know. Can there be an unintentional straw man? I 78 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.920 suppose that's theoretically possible. But the concept in my mind is generally this is 79 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:58.000 an intended misrepresentation, so that your argument has a better I guess path, 80 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:02.240 an easier path towards except dents from those who are hearing it, and so 81 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:11.279 this actually serves as a barrier to real debate and so forth. Now you 82 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.120 can say, in a debate situation, you can say, I think you're 83 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:20.360 mischaracterizing your position, you know, mister, this miss that whatever, And 84 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.319 you can say, I think what you're what you're arguing for is really this 85 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.920 is the reality of it, and that's fair. But a straw man, 86 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:34.639 a subtle a straw man is when again, one side mischaracterizes the other side 87 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:41.759 without drawing undue attention to it. And so sometimes sometimes the other side doesn't 88 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:47.399 catch these subtle discrepancies in their argument. Sometimes it's obvious and so, but 89 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:53.160 it's designed to deceive, is the point. It's designed to misrepresent. Whereas 90 00:07:53.519 --> 00:08:01.199 hyperbole, satire, a little bit of drama is designed to help elaborate or 91 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:09.120 pound home your point that is, I'm good with that. But straw men 92 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:16.319 are designed not to boost one side's argument, but rather bring down the other 93 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.399 side's argument through deception and misrepresentation. And it's not good. And this is 94 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.279 what the Left often excels that. So let's talk about what I mean specifically 95 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.600 here and what I want to get to here in this first segment talking about 96 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:37.600 Hunter Biden. We talked about this earlier this week. Hunter Biden of course 97 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.919 got off with a metaphorical slap, slap on the wrist, basically, you 98 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.960 know, just a little smack, nothing serious, no real consequences. And 99 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.759 in fact, there's a oz had sent me this and I saw this in 100 00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:01.559 my own preparation as well. There's an attorney for a rapper named Kodak Black. 101 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.960 Kodak Black's lawyer comes out and says, hey, you know, the 102 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:15.159 same crime that Hunter Biden just created or was given this wonderful plea deal on, 103 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:22.720 is the same crime that my client was given three years for given three 104 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.720 years for committing. And So now, if you really want to, if 105 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.519 you really want to tweak the left tier, you can you can point out, 106 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.960 as the left always does, I'm only doing this because this is what 107 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.600 they do. You can point out that the white man Hunter Biden gets off 108 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:48.159 Scott Free, Kodak Black is a is a black rapper, and you could 109 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.399 point out that there's a two tier justice system when it comes to white leftists, 110 00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:01.320 white democrats in this country today and compare that to other people, potentially 111 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.480 even racial. This is I'm not making the I'm not making that claim. 112 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.759 I'm simply saying, this is how the game has played. If the shoe 113 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.919 were on the other foot, so to speak, if someone that was a 114 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.360 Republican, if was in Hunter Biden's position here, the argument would be that 115 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.240 there's a two tiered justice system, and that it would be racial in nature 116 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.200 and so forth. Of course we don't hear that because they don't want those 117 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:35.120 sorts of headlines when Democrats, leftists, liberals are in are in the news. 118 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.919 So well, let's get back here to the straw man. The straw 119 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:46.639 man is this. The straw man is people like former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill. 120 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:54.840 She's from the state of Missouri. She on Tuesday was on MSNBC with 121 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.919 Nicole Wallace. I mean, if you have trouble sleeping at night, or 122 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.200 if you just want to see what delusion looks like in person, I encourage 123 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.919 you to watch MSNBC in particular. You can watch anything, really anything on 124 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.960 that station. But Nicole Wallace would be fine um or and I don't even 125 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.960 know what else is on in the in the evenings over there. We try 126 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.720 not to venture into that world of craziness too often, but Nicole Wallace has 127 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:31.600 Clara McCaskill on her program and she's asking her. They're talking about the the 128 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:39.000 Plea Deal, and Clara McCaskill, I mean she can you can feel the 129 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:48.159 emotion and the energy and the entire mood of this interview and the well and 130 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.120 I don't know if it's ultimately I believe it. This is faux outrage. 131 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.960 This is designed to elicit a particular feeling again, something deceptive. It's not. 132 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.159 Again, it's not a device like hyperbole, which is exaggeration to kind 133 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.159 of drive home your point is, this is make believe. This is pretending, 134 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.000 pretending that one side, the conservative side, the Republican side, is 135 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.159 making an argument about Hunter Biden that no one is making. And if someone 136 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.679 is making it, then I'm not seeing make it. Let me tell you, 137 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.000 I reject this argument that she's claiming to be finding against. This is 138 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.240 not what she describes. This is not the problem. This is not the 139 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.440 problem that we find with the Hunter Biden case. And I'm sitting here thinking, 140 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.399 I'm pausing. I'm gonna play this. It's gonna put me over the 141 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.960 time limit here. It's gonna be fine, we'll get it straightened out next 142 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.960 segment. But since I've set this up. I don't want to make you 143 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:56.200 wait until the next segment. So here she is Claire McCaskill on with one 144 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.519 of the lunatics at MSNBC, in this case it's Nicole Wallace, and I 145 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.039 want you to listen to This is a straw man. This is an argument 146 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.879 against Republicans who have a problem with Hunter Biden, who have a problem with 147 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.759 his laptop, who have a problem with where this actual evidence may lead us, 148 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.320 may very well lead us. The big guy, which we now know 149 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:22.399 is Joe Biden getting a ten percent kick back five million dollars allegedly that was 150 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:33.440 potentially bribe money for President bribery and his son Hunter allegedly. So this is 151 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.960 all This is all kind of tied in here, but she's gonna make the 152 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.399 argument that Republicans are going after them for different reasons. In fact, I'll 153 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.720 let Ter say it for herself. This is how she describes the situation and 154 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.559 Uncle bat that nobody, nobody views this as a normal family. Nobody knows 155 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.360 that the Bidens felt with lost in pain. What do you make of the 156 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.320 fact that to David Jolly's point that they should take this loss and move on 157 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.879 find another political weapon to wield. I don't know what America they live in, 158 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.679 and I don't know how they sleep at night. You know, alcoholism 159 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.480 and addiction are probably the most pervasive diseases in America. I don't know of 160 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:28.679 one family that hasn't been touched by the pain of these diseases. And it's 161 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:35.000 particularly painful when you have someone you love unconditionally that is suffering from these diseases. 162 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.639 All right, as Rush used to say, stop but tape. We 163 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.919 don't have tape here, we have digital files. But nonetheless, stop it. 164 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:50.000 What is She's making the argument that Republicans are piling on, that conservatives 165 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.919 are piling on Hunter Biden making a big to do about this and exploiting his 166 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.480 alcoholism and exploiting his drug use. That's the argument. That's what she wants 167 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.279 you to believe. That this is about Nothing could be further from the truth, 168 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:09.360 Nothing could be further from the truth. Whatsoever. She's got a lot 169 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.559 more to say about this. This is about all I could take this side 170 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.759 of the segment, inside of the time out, I should say. So, 171 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.080 I'm gonna pick up where this thing left off. We've just begun to 172 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.480 move into the world of delusion. With Clara mccastall here. We'll continue that 173 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.200 on the other side of the break, but before we do that, we've 174 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.639 got to take a time out. My friends, you're listening here to Conservative 175 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.639 not Better Talk. I am your host, Tod Hugh. Back in just 176 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:41.039 a minute. Oh yes, my friends, welcome back. I'm gonna reque 177 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.679 this sound bite. I'm actually I've taken it back to the beginning for anyone 178 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.720 that may have missed it last segment. Listening to Clara mccastell. She's a 179 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:56.519 current liberal. Maybe maybe I don't know that she's as far. I don't 180 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:02.120 know if I'm want to call her leftist or not leftist. By the way, 181 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.039 is someone who just really quickly so conservative, just so you know, 182 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:14.639 someone like me, limited government, personal freedom, you know, the God 183 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.360 given rights that we have from our creator, not from our government. Ability 184 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:26.360 to live according to our own conscience and personal desires and so forth. That's 185 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.519 me. That's that's when I say conservative, That's what I mean, limited 186 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.840 government as small and as limited as possible. Liberal is someone who believes the 187 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.840 government should step in a lot help people. It's you know, people are 188 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.519 entitled to certain things that are funded by other people. That's that's what I 189 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.639 mean when I say liberal, it's I wish I kind of long for the 190 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:56.080 days of just having debates and discussions with liberals, because they did not do 191 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.480 well. In my mind, they did not cross some of the lines that 192 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:06.519 the radical left does. The radical left hates this country. They hate this 193 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.920 country is founded. They do not like the ideas set forth in the Constitution. 194 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:18.000 They if given the opportunity, they would rewrite America's framework. They would 195 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.200 do away with things in our constitution. Freedoms that the government didn't give you 196 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.559 by the way you have been given by Almighty God himself, they would take 197 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.759 those away. They would empower themselves, they would do away with any sort 198 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:38.880 of morality. In fact, what they ultimately desire, their extreme leftists and 199 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:45.240 they're godless government is their religion, and so they want to They want to 200 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:51.519 live consequence free lifestyle. They don't want to hear about right and wrong moral 201 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.000 code. That's why they don't like Christianity so much, because Christianity or any 202 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:03.680 really any belief in God threatens because their conscience speaks so loudly inside to them 203 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:10.960 that they cannot possibly, they cannot possibly endure hearing those same things that their 204 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.119 conscience speaks to their heart internally. They don't want to hear those things externally, 205 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.119 and so they want to silence. They want to make everything morally equivalent. 206 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:26.680 They want to basically it's it's it's an anti god state of mind in 207 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:32.039 a large sense. That's what I mean when I say radical left. I 208 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.279 don't think Clarare McCaskill's there. But although she's sometimes tiptoes into the leftism, 209 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:41.119 leftist ideas, but she's she's a liberal, so she's she's still someone that 210 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:47.759 is not promoting the things that are necessary and good in this country, but 211 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:52.960 she's not promoting something as morally bankrupt as we find being peddled by the radical 212 00:18:52.000 --> 00:19:00.039 left anyway. So Nicole Wallace is basically talking with former Senator Claire McCaskill for 213 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.000 Missouri, asking her to kind of give her take on why Republicans continue to 214 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.440 go after Hunter Biden. He's got this plea deal. Can't they just see 215 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.880 that this guy has some personal problems with drugs and alcohol? Why can't they 216 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.359 let up? So that's kind of the premise, and I want you to 217 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:21.200 listen to how crazy crazy Claire mccaswell gets as she sets up this straw man, 218 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.519 as we talked about last segment, which is not what any Republican, 219 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:29.519 any conservative I know, is arguing. But this is what she does in 220 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:34.880 the way that she forms her version of what people like I, people like 221 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.519 me, I should say, think people like many of you think about Hunter 222 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:44.599 Biden and that whole situation. This is what she says, and greatly she 223 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:49.799 greatly misrepresents it. I don't know what America they live in, and I 224 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.240 don't know how they sleep at night. Oh my goodness. You know, 225 00:19:53.279 --> 00:20:00.400 alcoholism in addiction are probably the most pervasive diseases in America. Has not I 226 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:07.440 don't know of one family that hasn't been touched by the pain of these diseases. 227 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:15.319 Talking about particularly painful when you have someone you love unconditionally that is suffering 228 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:22.880 from these diseases. I think Joe Biden has shown a wonderful role model to 229 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.839 the country about unconditional love. Oh my goodness, what do these jerks in 230 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.000 the house want Joe Biden to do? Throw him out, refused to speak 231 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.640 to him, say he doesn't love him publicly? Do they not understand this 232 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.279 disease and how it works? Hunter Biden has gone through recovery under the brightest 233 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:47.119 lights imaginable, and recovery is not easy for anybody. I gotta stop that. 234 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.920 There is she really arguing that there has been undue attention put on Hunter 235 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.559 Biden. You've got to be kidding me. You have absolutely got to be 236 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.119 kidding me. The way that the Trump kids, and I don't I use 237 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.799 that word loosely because they're they're the kids of Trump, but they're not, 238 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:08.000 they're not young children, but the way that they were talked about in the 239 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:15.559 media for doing nothing remotely close to what I mean. If you've seen this 240 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.680 laptop, have you seen what's going on on this laptop? If you haven't, 241 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.759 I would advise you not to look at it because some of these things 242 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:30.640 you just can't unsee. It's it's awful. And I take I've said this 243 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.480 from the very beginning. I take no personal pleasure in talking about his personal 244 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.440 struggles. But that is not what this is about. This is not about 245 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:45.759 someone who's struggling with the disease of alcoholism, although he is. It appears 246 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.720 from from the laptop and from the text and everything else, it seems like 247 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.000 this is clearly something he struggles with. But that's not what this is about. 248 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.079 This is absolutely a straw man. This is about you want, this 249 00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:03.119 is about This is about actual baby that may have gone up to the Vice 250 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.599 president of the United States. That's what this is ultimately about. Now you 251 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:12.799 can you can say, again a lot of these things get conflated, but 252 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:18.839 that's not necessarily what what this recent plea deal was about. The recent plea 253 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:23.799 deal was instead was more about this gun charge, which, by the way, 254 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.640 as I said yesterday on the program, the things that some of the 255 00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:33.759 most that the things that the left comes out the strongest about is gun control. 256 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.839 They're prepared in at the drop of a hat, to excuse any gun 257 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:42.160 law that Hunter Biden broke, and they want to have more gun laws, 258 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.480 but they don't want to enforce the ones on the books. And look, 259 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.640 I'm not suggesting they throw the book at Hunter Biden or anything like that. 260 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.759 I'm just suggesting that this is this is in no way shape, manner or 261 00:22:53.799 --> 00:23:02.279 form some sort of attack on his alcoholism or ruse or she didn't say it 262 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:06.960 is addiction to hookers from what we see on the laptop. I mean, 263 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.319 this stuff is this is vile, sodom and gomore, a kind of stuff 264 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:15.240 here. But that's not what this is about. This is about. This 265 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.640 is about an individual, Hunter Biden, who may have been acting and there 266 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:23.480 is actual evidence. There is actual evidence. One more time, there is 267 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:30.279 actual evidence that he was acting in cooperation with his father, the big guy 268 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:40.240 in manipulating or I guess, using political influence to get money, to get 269 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:47.240 paid, to get business deals. That's why I refer to him allegedly here, 270 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.559 referred to him as President Bribery, Joe Bribery. This is a real 271 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.440 scandal. This is the thing that matters, and it's not because of Hunter 272 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:02.319 Biden's drug use. This is preposter This is a straw man. That is 273 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.880 absolutely stupid for her to be saying, but this is how desperate they are. 274 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.000 Let her finish her stupid comments here and then I'll take a break. 275 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:14.640 He's been held accountable for bad judgments. He made the law, and he 276 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.519 should be. But the point is that he now has to stay sober in 277 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:23.920 order to avoid a felony, and he has been treated as he should under 278 00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:30.799 the law. But everyone should understand here that this man, this has paid 279 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:37.559 a very high price for his addiction in the public arena. And by the 280 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.119 way, everybody needs to back off Joe Biden about this. He loves his 281 00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:47.920 son. He should It is okay for him to love his son, and 282 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.079 there's nothing wrong with it. They have no evidence of any kind of wrongdoing 283 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.160 by Joe Biden, and it infuriates me they're using this heartbreak against Joe Biden 284 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.480 in this way. It's just not right. This is not You're not right. 285 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:06.920 That's the dumbest thing. Yesterday I played the dumbest thing I heard from 286 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.680 Tuesday. The dumbest thing I heard Wednesday was this What on earth? Of 287 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.599 course we know what's going on here, but this should not If you hear 288 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.200 this sort of thing on TV. First of all, you've tuned into the 289 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:25.440 wrong channel. But secondly, secondly, don't be hypnotized or don't let your 290 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.839 friends more than likely here. That's the case. I know you all stay 291 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.960 informed. We can't people believe this is what I'm getting at. People are 292 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.279 put into a trance because there's a logo at the bottom of the screen. 293 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:44.160 This is MSNBC. These people look serious, but it's a stinking clown show, 294 00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.160 is what it is. Not one word of what she said has any 295 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.519 bearing in reality whatsoever. But it's news at MSNBC. What an absolute and 296 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.240 utter joke. Timeouts in order, my friends, sit tight. You're listening 297 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.799 to conservative not better talk. I am your host, Tod Hugh back in 298 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:08.960 just a minute. You know how the left and the Democrats and the media 299 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.119 excusing me as to say the dramacrats. You know how they want to paint 300 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:19.599 this picture for the American people and portray this silly notion that everything's working hunky 301 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.720 dory, apple pie, just fine. You know how they want to do 302 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:27.839 that, right, Well, they are at it again. Well I should 303 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:34.039 pause. They're at it consistently, at it NonStop. But I just feel 304 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:41.039 it appropriate because this stuff is not reported in most places that you would consume 305 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:47.319 news. Now. It is reported in alternative media and so forth, conservative 306 00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:52.680 platforms and places like that, but it's typically it's it's just not going to 307 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:59.279 be talked about on the big popular outlets because it goes over or I guess 308 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.599 it goes again ends. I should say the narrative that they want to see 309 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:11.079 pushed on the American people. So we know we have an open border effectively, 310 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.160 an open border. It's a disaster. It was not like this way 311 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:21.039 under President Trump. It has become this way under President Biden. It they 312 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:26.359 have. I've seen video of some of the folks that have been stopped along 313 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.680 the border and when asked why they were coming there, they referenced something about 314 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:37.599 Biden, meaning Biden's here and Trump's not. And so we're able to cross 315 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.599 the border much more easily than we would have been able to do so under 316 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:48.200 the previous administration. And are these are facts, Jack? As Biden would 317 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:53.200 say, those are the facts, Jack, and this is undeniable. Now 318 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:59.000 you may have an opinion and think that maybe we should allow people to enter 319 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.559 this country more easily across the southern border. That's a different discussion because the 320 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:11.319 law is quite quite clear on what that means. And there's also on top 321 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.960 of what the law says, there are legitimate risks. How about this headline, 322 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.799 just to put things in perspective here, This is at the Daily What 323 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:25.960 is this the Daily BS that's for bosch Nerdly before you think it's got an 324 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:34.000 inappropriate connotation there, it says FEDS catch more than four hundred and sixty known 325 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:44.400 suspected terrorists in nine months, most at now the northern now the northern borders. 326 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:49.240 So we've got terrorists coming across No, they're called ksts known and suspected 327 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:57.119 terrorists or I guess known or suspected terrorists. So we have them coming across 328 00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:03.279 the southern border, but we also now have them coming across the northern border. 329 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.839 Terrorists. That's how many we catch. Now some people hear this. 330 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.480 Some people hear this and they think, wow, we're doing a better job 331 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:18.000 because we're catching more of these known or suspected terrorists. But what that means 332 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.400 is we're never catching one hundred percent. We have a poorout border boat, 333 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:30.000 both southern border and now northern border that's being exposed as well. But we've 334 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:36.200 again to be clear boat, there's there's known or suspected terrorists coming both across 335 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:41.319 the southern border and now across the northern border, and even more even more 336 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.079 across that northern border. But it's happening in both places. One hundred and 337 00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:52.400 sixty five we're at the southern border, detained in the southern along the southern 338 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:59.039 border, three thirteen at the northern border. And look to someone you know, 339 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:06.880 for people who act like border security it's about keeping different ethnicities out of 340 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.480 this country and so forth, it's just it's hogwash. It's total nonsense, 341 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.559 because if it's happening in the northern border, we need to take steps to 342 00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:19.599 prevent it there as well. It's not suddenly acceptable or good because it's happening 343 00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.960 from our Canadian border to the north. It's just silly. This stuff needs 344 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.880 to be prevented and stopped. And when you look at the people who are 345 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.000 being stopped, some people might say, well, that's a good sign. 346 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:37.799 But again, we're only stopping a percentage, and it's fair to assume statistics 347 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:42.200 will teach us that there's a percent that our system is currently stopping, and 348 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:47.480 there's going to be a range or a margin of error for the percentage. 349 00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.279 I'm just going to pick a random percentage. Let's say it's let's say it's 350 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.240 seventy five percent. I'm not suggesting it's a high. I'm just picking a 351 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.799 random number. Could be fifty. I don't know what the number is. 352 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:03.920 But if we're catching seventy five percent, but it's say we're stopping seventy five 353 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:10.599 percent, if we stopped two hundred, then there are more people that are 354 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:15.039 crossing still without being captured than if we're stopping a hundred. Because we're still 355 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:19.160 stopping seventy five percent, and that's what we need to understand. More people 356 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.440 being detained doesn't mean that suddenly Biden woke up and decided to defend our borders 357 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.319 or give us the resources on those borders that we need. What it means 358 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.359 is it means that more people are coming. Not just people. These are 359 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:41.079 ksts, known or suspected terrorists that have now entered the country. So if 360 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.640 seventy five, just for my example, if seventy five percent are typically what 361 00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.960 we stop, and we stop seventy five, then it's safe to assume that 362 00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:55.319 we that twenty five crossed. Likewise, if there were one hundred and fifty 363 00:31:55.400 --> 00:32:00.799 stopped and we stop on average seventy five percent, then another fifty could have 364 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:06.000 crossed. So that's what's happening. And again it's just one of the many 365 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.279 ways, one of the many, many, many ways the radical left, 366 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:14.599 through this president, through their control of the Senate, through their control of 367 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:21.839 academia, through their control of Hollywood, through their control of the media. 368 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.720 If I didn't say that that they're destroying this country intentionally, I might add 369 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.519 intentionally because again, the radical left hates this country, and when they destroy 370 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.000 it, they're given an opportunity to recreate it, and they are rubbing their 371 00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:38.160 hands gleefully looking forward to what that might be. I, of course tremble 372 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.119 at the very notion that that's a possibility. But timeouts in order, my 373 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.000 friends. I mentioned earlier that I'm gonna talk a little bit about Riley gains 374 00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:51.240 what was happening in the US Senate and so forth yesterday, And I'll do 375 00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.640 that on the other side of this break. My friends, you're listening to 376 00:32:53.640 --> 00:33:07.799 conservative, not bitter talk. I'm your host, tough back in a minute. 377 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:13.160 Welcome back to my friends. I'm gonna get to this quickly. Riley 378 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:20.359 Gaines she was a swimmer, SEC swimmer University of Kentucky. I have grown 379 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:25.440 to really respect this young lady, very good collegiate swimmer. I think she 380 00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:29.400 I don't know if she was ever an Olympian, but I know she. 381 00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:36.400 I think she referenced being part of the trials or you know, trying to 382 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.599 make the team and so forth. But she testifies, she testified yesterday before 383 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:52.880 Congress excu meet the Senate specifically about these trans bills or the way that this 384 00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:58.160 fight over, this fight over whether or not biological men should be allowed to 385 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:02.000 participate, and by logical women's sports, and she's there to testify. She's 386 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:07.719 there talking about Title nine, which is supposed to protect women's sports in college. 387 00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:14.159 But now we've got men that are coming in and taking over and winning, 388 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:19.119 and she's got a problem with that. Obviously, anyone should with any 389 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:27.920 sort of I guess fairness and understanding of reality at all. But not only 390 00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:31.679 is she upset that she was that she has to compete and that other swimmers 391 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:39.480 have to compete against biological men who have physical advantages period against against women in 392 00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:45.280 events like this, in sports like this, she also was subjected to this 393 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.480 nonsense. Listen to that. I've referenced this before, but let's listen to 394 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:57.280 her tell this and listen to the emotion in her voice. But that is 395 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.760 not all. In addition to being worse to give up our awards and our 396 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:06.400 titles and our opportunities, the NC double A forced me and my female submersed 397 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.639 to swim to share a locker room with Thomas six foot four, twenty two 398 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:15.920 year old male equipped with an exposing male genitalia. Let me be clear about 399 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.440 this unbelievable We were not forewarned we would be sharing a locker room. No 400 00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.280 one asked for our consent, and we did not give our consent. And 401 00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:27.320 I'll set the scene of swimming locker room is not a place of modesty. 402 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.960 You're addressing, you're fully exposed, and we were forced to take off our 403 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.719 swimsuit in front of a man who was doing the exact same thing, if 404 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.320 nothing else, I truly hope how you can see this as a violation of 405 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.519 our right to privacy, and how some of us have felt uncomfortable, embarrassed, 406 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:46.559 and even traumatized by this experience. I know that I don't speak for 407 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:50.639 every single person who competed against Leah Thomas, but I know I speak for 408 00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.320 many because I saw the tears. I saw the tears from the ninth and 409 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:57.840 seventeenth place finishers who missed out on being named in All American by one place. 410 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.880 And I can attest to the says a lot more. But just think 411 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:07.360 about that. It's not just that they're competing, which is bad enough, 412 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:20.320 competing against biological women and winning most events by tremendous amounts. Leah Thomas finished 413 00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:25.239 I think he was ranked four hundred and sixty second or something like that when 414 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:30.920 he competed with men. When he was at Penn State against Women. Leah 415 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:38.599 Thomas won first place in many events, sometimes by multiple body lengths. Now 416 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:46.320 he did not defeat Riley Gaines. In one of the events, they had 417 00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:50.840 a tie, and she shared that yesterday and the testimony too. I have 418 00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.199 shared that on this program in the past as well, because she she said 419 00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:58.159 they tied in one event. I forget if it was I think I want 420 00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:00.679 to say the two hundred butterfly, but I could be wrong. I think 421 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:07.519 it was the butterfly. She ties him, She ties him, and down 422 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.679 to the one hundredth of a second. The NCAA says, we've only got 423 00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:13.639 one award, which, by the way, what kind of foresight does it 424 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.920 take to not have any kind of backup here, because it does. I 425 00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.280 mean, it's not unheard of for them to be tied. That's it's rare, 426 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.039 but it's not unheard of. It wouldn't be the first time in history. 427 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:28.320 So the NCAA says, we've got one trophy, and we hope you 428 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.480 understand Riley, but we have to give it to Leah Thomas because of the 429 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:35.960 photos that are being taken. Just unbelievable what these kids are. These are 430 00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:40.840 college aged girls, women that are being subjected to this stuff, naked men 431 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:47.239 in the locker room from the same people that a few years ago. We're 432 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:52.400 telling us about all this stuff with again the met and I'm not minimizing the 433 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.800 me too. I'm just simply saying, the same people who talked about all 434 00:37:54.840 --> 00:38:00.880 these offensive and violent gross actions taken by men and some of these jokers are 435 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:05.000 totally fine with this nonsense, Absolutely reprehensible. I'm gonna take a break, 436 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:21.480 quick time out. My friends back in just a minute. Welcome back, 437 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:27.880 my friends.

And I stressed that because you 439 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:39.639 have earned these benefits, there are certain benefits that you should receive if you 440 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:44.960 are a military veteran, and it depends, of course on your individual circumstances 441 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.519 and so forth, but you earned these. These are not handouts or gimmes 442 00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:54.760 or anything like that. These are things that are actually part of your compensation 443 00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.199 plan.
