I'm just kidding, but 10 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.519 that's where we send our thoughts, question opinions, feedback, anything like that. 11 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.680 Always include the adoration and praise. I can't I can't just let that 12 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.760 go. That's got to be in there. And it's a pleasure to be 13 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.840 here today. A couple of things that I want to share here off off 14 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:25.959 the top this weekend, this past weekend, actually yesterday was Constitution Day, 15 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:32.599 and you know, we try to hit some of the well the important days 16 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:38.000 I think on the calendar. I think that that's an important thing to do. 17 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.799 We always talk about Easter, we talk about Christmas. We've got Thanksgiving 18 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.519 coming up here in a couple of months. We talk about all those all 19 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:53.439 those days, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and I you 20 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.920 know, they're all there for a reason. They're all those are holidays that 21 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.560 well that means a lot for a variety of reasons to the average American, 22 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:14.000 to individual families and folks scattered all across this fruited plane. And one of 23 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.599 those days that doesn't get enough attention is Constitution Day, right, the ratification 24 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.800 of the Constitution of the United States of America. I know that you know 25 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:31.199 this. I know that you know this, but that document is the single 26 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:40.000 most important secular, i'll say secular document, governing document that's ever been created. 27 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.479 That in the Declaration of Independence of my friends, and those are full 28 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:54.919 of important concepts and ideas, things that frame the foundation of this country. 29 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.039 And yesterday we celebrated that. Now, I want to say this, I 30 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.800 don't want to get too much into this today because I want to get into 31 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.520 other things. But I find it ironic to say the least that over the 32 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.080 Constitution Day weekend headline here Western Journal dot com. This as always, my 33 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.280 friends, we pause. For those of you who maybe knew listeners to the 34 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:28.080 program, we have a list of the articles I guess you would say that 35 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.879 we may or may not be referencing throughout the program. It's called the Stack 36 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.159 of Stuff. And for those of you that listened to the late great Rush 37 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.639 Limball, you will know that that that is a hat tip to him. 38 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.240 I spent a lot of time as a younger man listening to Rush, and 39 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.759 he had what he called the stack of stuff. It was articles back in 40 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.280 the day it was printed. It was newspaper clippings of things that he wanted 41 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.680 to get to as things that he eventually printed off on his computer. We 42 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:09.159 keep those digitally on our website, the articles of things that we have looked 43 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:14.680 at, read that are I guess in the background. We may not directly 44 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.120 mention these things during the program, but what we sometimes we do sometimes we 45 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.680 do, but it at least gives you information even of things that we don't 46 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.199 have time to get to, and you can check it out. It's on 47 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.000 the website Todd Huffshow dot com. Just go to the Stack of Stuff. 48 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:38.439 But there's an article in there today Western Journal dot Com headline Governor Gavin Newsom. 49 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:45.279 Yes, Governor Gavin Newsom, the governor of the People's Republic of California. 50 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.959 Now, Governor Newsome still, I think is holding out some degree of 51 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.279 hope that Biden will not be the Democrat Party nominee, that they will be 52 00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.519 calling upon him to come in and swoop in and save the Democrat at parties 53 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.639 hopes here in twenty twenty four, I'm still not seeing that as a likely 54 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.959 thing, but I think he's hopeful for that. But even if it's not 55 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.160 twenty twenty four, Gavin Newsom is a name that Americans and people who care 56 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.279 about the Constitution are going to have to be on the lookout for in the 57 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:27.199 years to come. And he's a dangerous politician. I mean the sad reality. 58 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:33.160 Well, first, most politicians are potentially dangerous politicians, but especially politicians 59 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.800 coming from the People's Republic of California. So the headline here says Governor Gavin 60 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:46.439 Newsom officially calls for convention to change the US Constitution. Now what is he 61 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.279 wanting to do? Now? You will know, for those of you that 62 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:58.720 have followed politics and just different things happening in this great nation. There's been 63 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:06.319 a move a movement towards having a Convention of the States to ratify amendments to 64 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:12.480 the Constitution. That's been something that has been talked about in the past. 65 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.800 But most of the time, most of the times, the folks that are 66 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:23.000 calling for a constitutional or a convention of states to ratify the constitution, to 67 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:30.279 change the constitution, meaning typically to add amendments to the Constitution. Some of 68 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.800 these amendments, of course, can strike or change previously stated amendments to the 69 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.199 Constitution and so forth, or just other articles of the Constitution anyway, things 70 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.360 that we want to add to the Constitution. But typically those are things that 71 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:48.480 are led by people who want to reign in our government. But that's of 72 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:54.720 course not the case with the radical leftist governor from the People's Republic of California, 73 00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.639 Gavin Newsom. According to this article, the States led to Slature on 74 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.160 Thursday of last week approved a resolution and support of Newsom's call for a twenty 75 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:12.279 eighth constitutional amendment. Now this is according to the Los Angeles Times, but 76 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.360 every once in a while they actually do report something that's factually happened. This 77 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.600 has, by the way, so there's currently twenty seven amendments of the US 78 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.839 Constitution, so this would be the twenty eighth. This would be the twenty 79 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:30.160 eighth amendment to the Constitution. Now, this absolutely, unequivocally should not happen. 80 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.519 But let me just tell you what this is. This is, according 81 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.480 to the article here. You may or may not have heard this, the 82 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:42.279 proposed right to safety amendment. That sounds nice, the right to safety that 83 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.079 we're gonna spend a moment to talk about. Let's talk about rights here in 84 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.399 in a minute. But this is essentially what the quote right to safety amendment 85 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:56.199 is. It would limit legal gun ownership to adults twenty one and older. 86 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:03.079 It would enact universal federal background X on gun sales. It would create a 87 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:11.279 mandatory quote reasonable waiting period for gun purchases, and ban the purchase of many 88 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:18.560 forms of semi automatic rifles. Now, what is a right? By the 89 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.920 way, it's interesting to me I had this. Actually I wrote about this 90 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:30.120 in last week's Conservative Not Bitter column, which you can get for free by 91 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.399 email Tanushow dot com. But I wrote about this last week. Most Americans 92 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.960 still accept the idea, accept the idea that that our rights come not from 93 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:46.559 government, but those rights come from our creator. Now, there are of 94 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.960 course, varying opinions on what creature means. Someone like myself would say that 95 00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.320 Creator refers to the God of the Bible, that is exactly who I believe 96 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.679 created mankind. There are other opinions and beliefs. By the way, we 97 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:13.600 can't all be right, but nonetheless there's different beliefs, and this idea says, 98 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.960 and it's an important idea. You know what, Even for people who 99 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.799 are atheistic, I think it's important for them to know or have the belief 100 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.240 that this idea of rights, even though this would fall apart someplace logically, 101 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.639 actually, any standard of morality falls apart for the atheist at some point, 102 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:41.720 actually pretty quickly, because what standard are they measuring morality against. If there's 103 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.879 no moral law giver, there can be no moral law. But anyway, 104 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.320 that's another discussion for another day. But the point is, it's still better 105 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.559 to think that our rights come from something outside of government, the creative force, 106 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.519 whatever you want to call it, even if you don't want to call 107 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.519 that creative force God, which I clearly think it is to be. To 108 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.080 be very to be very concise here, I believe that But even if you 109 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.919 don't. It's better to believe that the rights that you have are inherent to 110 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:20.000 your being a human being than to allow your rights to be dictated by people 111 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.679 who are in control politically at any given moment. Or to the democracy, 112 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.919 to the majority rule says one of the important reasons why America is not a 113 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.879 democracy. A democracy says majority rule. A constitutional republic says, absolutely, 114 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:43.639 we want the will of the people to decide important political matters. But there's 115 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.279 an important distinction. The constitutional republic says that we're going to have a document 116 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.879 and we're going to have this type of government that says that individual human beings 117 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.960 the smallest minority right, the minority of one, the minority of the individual, 118 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.360 not the minority of someone's race or ethnicity, or gender or anything else. 119 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:09.440 The minority of one, the smallest minority we can have. The individual 120 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.639 has certain rights. And if every other person in the United States of America, 121 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:20.360 in their exercise of democracies, say you cannot have that right, our 122 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.840 founders said, that's not true, because those rights were given to you by 123 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:33.320 your creator, by God himself. And I had someone actually laugh at that 124 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.320 idea. It's crazy to me that someone would laugh at the idea that our 125 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.879 rights come from something outside of government. If our rights, my friends, 126 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.639 come from government, our rights are not really rights at all, because they 127 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.799 can change, like the shifting winds, like the sinking saying, there is 128 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.440 no bedrock upon which we can build our lives. They are at the well. 129 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.399 The rights are determined by the will of the of the political class at 130 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.600 the moment, and that is not the way that a right should be interpreted. 131 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.159 And so rights are things that we have that are that are inherent. 132 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.360 Rights effectively are the things that we are free to choose. For example, 133 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.039 in the First Amendment, we are free to choose if and how we will 134 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.919 worship God. We are not dictated by the state how we will do so. 135 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:31.000 We are given the freedom or we recognize that we have the freedom to 136 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.519 say those things that we believe to communicate the ideas that we want to communicate 137 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.799 freely without government telling us to shut up or that we can't say it. 138 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:48.080 We're free to assemble with people that we choose to assemble with. We're free 139 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.360 to tell our government, Hey, we don't like what you're doing. We 140 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.080 think this is a problem. We can protest, we can talk about our 141 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.799 political leaders that's what we do on I don't like the term leaders, but 142 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.399 you know, all the politicians, the people who have political authority in this 143 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.600 country, we talk about those things, and you should be able to do 144 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.039 so without fear of repercussion. We have to be able to have robust exchange 145 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.279 of ideas, debates and so forth. Those are all freedoms that we have, 146 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.639 not because the government has given those to us, but because we have 147 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.840 that right given to us by simply by virtue of being a human being, 148 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.080 by being created in the image of God. We have these rights. I 149 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.559 don't mean that in some sort of a I think some people mean it in 150 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.960 some selfish way. This is just to live our lives. This isn't to 151 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.799 like say, well, I'm not gonna do this, because I have the 152 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.759 right to say no, so therefore I'm gonna say no. There's a certain 153 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.840 amount of truth there, but really it's about the opportunity to live our lives 154 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.799 in accordance with our conscience. And I would add the Second Amendment just as 155 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.720 an example to the right to choose to protect ourselves up to it, including 156 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.679 the use of a firearm in order to provide protection, whether that be protection 157 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.519 from a common criminal, someone trying to break into our home, or someone 158 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:18.399 who is trying to force us to comply with tyranny, whatever shape that takes. 159 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.240 We have the God given right to protect our selves. You can choose 160 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:30.000 to not exercise that right, but you can choose also to exercise it. 161 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.600 If you so choose, you are not basically to say otherwise would mean that 162 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:41.000 someone else, someone else automatically their life has more value if they decide that 163 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.000 they're going to harm your life or in the worst case scenario, try to 164 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.480 take your life. You ought to be able. If you can't do anything 165 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:54.600 about that, then we're by default saying that someone else has more intrinsic value 166 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.960 than we have. And that's not of course, it's of course not true 167 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.559 as well. So these these rights are things that are given to us by 168 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.279 God. And something else that's important to understand about it. Right or right 169 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.639 is something that we have within us. The freedom to choose something a right 170 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:18.399 is not a right, is not trying to force someone else to provide something 171 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.080 to us. That's why I would say, for example, some are going 172 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.919 to disagree with this, I encourage you to listen to this and think this 173 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.639 through, because this is correct By the way, I'm just going to say 174 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.799 that we don't have a right, so to speak, a right in the 175 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.840 constitutional sense, or right in what I'm saying to healthcare. Of course we 176 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.799 should, that's something we should strive for. We should strive to create the 177 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.080 environment where all Americans have access to it. But to say that you have 178 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.960 a right to something that someone else has to provide you is a fundamental misunderstanding 179 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.720 of what a right is or right is your ability, my ability to live 180 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:03.039 our life and to make choices that we want to make in order to fulfill 181 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:10.360 or whatever our dreams, ambitions, priorities, how we want to live this 182 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.600 side of heaven. Now, this twenty eighth amendment that's proposed here by Gavin 183 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.919 Newsome has a lot more tucked away in this it's I mean, it's it's 184 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.720 got specific rules. This is not if you read the Bill of Rights. 185 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:29.679 The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments. These amendments are concepts that 186 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.879 apply to the way that we should live as a free people. It doesn't 187 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:40.720 go into detail like this stupid amendment here does. Talking about the age and 188 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.320 you know, the requirements for being able to have a firearm and that sort 189 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.240 of thing. But this sort of stuff is always going on. He has 190 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:55.200 announced it that he is in support of this. He's out there sitting in 191 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.600 the wings, waiting for his opportunity to be a candidate for president of the 192 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.319 United States. I have no doubt that at some point you're going to see 193 00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.400 his name thrown into the hat. Probably at this point will not be twenty 194 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.240 twenty four, but who knows. And it's gonna be hard because California Democrats 195 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.480 are so radical. There's gonna be a lot of middle of the road folks 196 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.960 who're gonna have a hard time moving to Newsome. But he's out there. 197 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.720 He's a threat, he is dangerous. This amendment is of course at odds 198 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.440 with the Second Amendment. You can tell just from the things that I've shared 199 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.759 with you about that. But I wanted to share that with you today since 200 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.759 yesterday was Constitution Day. Quick time out is in order, my friends. 201 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.200 You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I'm your host to Hugh back 202 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:47.200 in a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So, one of the 203 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.400 things that happened last week but we did not talk about, was this, 204 00:17:52.720 --> 00:18:02.359 well, were these Hunter Biden indictments, These Hunter Biden indictments here because I'm 205 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.640 trying to get back to my stack of stuff. Here we go, here 206 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:11.799 we go. So we didn't talk about this late last week because of the 207 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:17.279 timing and everything. We didn't just have the timing was off for when I 208 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.759 would have been able to talk about it. But the Hunter Biden indictments, 209 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:27.559 it's an interesting thing, right because we've gone a long time. We've gone 210 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:37.759 a long time. You look back at the timeline of the Hunter Biden report 211 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.440 and everything. I mean, these things happened. These things happened well before, 212 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:52.440 well before the so called insurrection on January sixth, and there were, 213 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.920 of course, there was the deal. Remember there was the deal that was 214 00:18:53.960 --> 00:19:00.880 struck between Hunter Biden and so forth, and there were obviously questions about this. 215 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.640 Then the deal fell through. Then you know, none of these things 216 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.039 can be seen in a vacuum. You've got you have the criminal indictments of 217 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:15.359 Hunter Biden, the first kind of negotiated agreement, the sweetheart deal that he 218 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.400 was given. The media, of course, wanted you to think if he 219 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.920 was not named Hunter Biden, nothing would have even happened in this scenario, 220 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.440 which I find incredibly peculiar because this is the same crowd. Remember last segment, 221 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:33.400 we talked about this constitutional amendment that Gavin Newsom wants to see implement, 222 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:41.160 and that's really antithetical in many ways to the Second Amendment. And these are 223 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.240 the same folks the left, the Bidens, the Neosoms of the world, 224 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.000 the pelo Sees, the Schumers and so forth. These are the folks that 225 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:55.559 tell us constantly, if we just have another law on the books about gun 226 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:04.079 control, about some rule, about some background this, or waiting list that, 227 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.079 or red flag law for something, you know, all these things. 228 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.079 They just think, if we just do more right. It's the reason that 229 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:18.480 this radical governor in New Mexico has taken the steps she's taken. She's even 230 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.519 said someone's got to do something, which to someone who cares about the Constitution, 231 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.920 to someone who cares about freedom, to someone who cares about logic and 232 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:33.200 understands cause and effect, someone has to do something is one of the most 233 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.559 annoying things to hear. Why at first, who should be acting, meaning 234 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.000 it's not just someone and something. What are they doing and why are they 235 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:55.720 doing it? Those things, those things actually actually matter. So if if 236 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.319 the left cares about these gun laws, and if they constantly want to introduce 237 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.920 a new gun law. Why then, why then are they so quick to 238 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.920 want to excuse Hunter Biden for breaking a federal gun law. Federal gun law 239 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:18.680 says that if you are when he was applying for the purchase of that gun, 240 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.759 he said that he was not under not taking illicit drugs or whatever the 241 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:29.119 question is, and by evidence on his own laptop, it's clear that he 242 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:34.519 was a clear violation of federal law. Actually, there's a ton of evidence 243 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.559 on that laptop about I should say, a decent amount of evidence about that, 244 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.319 about the gun charges. But the Left doesn't seem to be concerned about 245 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.519 that, right, It's like they're again, it's remarkable to me how they're 246 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:55.799 quick to excuse specific the specific incident all the time. You've heard me say 247 00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:00.960 this before. The radical left teaches something that is sub but that is damaging, 248 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.279 is all get out, and they teach this it's the exact opposite of 249 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:11.400 reality. They teach that everyone is collectively responsible for the actions of everyone else, 250 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.880 but no one is directly responsible for the actions he takes himself. Let 251 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.799 me say that again, because it is absolutely true. You can write this 252 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:26.880 down in stone. The left teaches the lie that no one, no one. 253 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:32.440 Well, let me say it the other way, that everyone is responsible 254 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:37.480 for the actions of everyone else. This is why things like climate change the 255 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:45.240 way that they want everybody to have like this, I don't know this us. 256 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.440 It's not a very rational approach. And I'm gonna do my part, 257 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.559 right, I'm gonna do my part. I'm not gonna eat beef, and 258 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:57.000 my carbon footprint is going to be less because I'm not eating beef that needs 259 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.920 to when it's alive as a cow to be passing gas out there adding to 260 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.119 the greenhouse gases. Right, this is literally a thing, by the way, 261 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.160 or I'm not going to have children. People say this, by the 262 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.279 way, I've got a story, a story personal, really quick story to 263 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.960 tell you about one of my kiddos who I'm proud about here that happened over 264 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:25.480 the weekend. But some people literally have said they've put off having children, 265 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:30.440 or they have had their decisions to have children impacted by the idea that children 266 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.480 are polluters. They're putting off carbon. Oh yes, so we're all doing 267 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.079 our part now individually we know that this is complete absurdity. Even if you 268 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:45.960 buy into the madness over carbon in the atmosphere, whether or not you choose 269 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:52.920 to have a Hamburger once a week or not is not It's beyond laughable to 270 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.720 me. Now you can say, well, Todd, collectively, it's a 271 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.440 big deal. But when you understand the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and 272 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:07.039 how much carbon each country or each individual is potentially responsible for, I mean, 273 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:12.279 it's truly insane to think that this is something that we have massive direct 274 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:17.599 responsibility for. But that's the idea, is to make us feel all collectively 275 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.880 responsible for everything, but then individually, right, and Hunter Biden can break 276 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:27.079 all the gun laws he wants, and he gets a pass. But but 277 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:38.279 if someone creates or acts in some horrific way with a firearm in another state, 278 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:41.920 in another part of the country, in a city, we don't even 279 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.000 know their motivations, how they got the firearm within five seconds, we're blamed. 280 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.839 If you believe in freedom and you believe in the Second Amendment, And 281 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.119 they then want to say you're at fault for that, that I'm at fault 282 00:24:55.160 --> 00:25:00.000 for that, And so they don't assign any of the responsibility to the individual. 283 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.799 They assign it collectively to the entirety of this nation. And it makes 284 00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:11.039 people feel guilty, And it's crazy to me because I'm from the school that 285 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:17.440 lives in reality, that says I'm responsible for me. I'm responsible for the 286 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:22.960 choices I make, the way I respond, the way I react, what 287 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:27.240 I do, how I live my life. I'm not responsible for someone else 288 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.880 who uses their God given freedom for horrific things. Now, I think they 289 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.599 should face consequences. I think that there should be actions taken for justice to 290 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:44.920 be enforced, or that we should seek justice in those circumstances. But I 291 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:52.440 absolutely, I absolutely take no responsibility for someone exercising their rights to do to 292 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.960 do evil. I think we overcome evil with good, and that's one of 293 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.240 the things this nation. You know, there are evils that are being used 294 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:08.440 upon us from all corners of our culture right now. Seven pillars of propaganda, 295 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.640 as I call them. It's all over the place. We're pumping in 296 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:18.680 evil. And then we wonder why evil is what we manifest, what this 297 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:23.039 culture is manifesting. It's because we're pumping it in, right, I mean 298 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:27.079 we are what we continually think about at some point. I mean that is 299 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:37.680 that these are not complicated concepts anyway. So time out here Oz is pointing 300 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.680 out I am a little bit long, a little bit long in this segment, 301 00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.880 but I want to take a time out pick up on the other side 302 00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.279 of the break where we left off here. But that is that's one of 303 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.960 the battles that we are we're facing here in this nation, in this nation 304 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:59.799 today. So let's pause that. Let's pick back up with Hunter after the 305 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.160 break. My friends, you're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I'm 306 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:15.119 your host, Todd Huff back here in just a minute, coom back of 307 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:23.839 my friends. So Hunter was indicted again late last week, and that's why 308 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:29.160 we got back into the gun discussion again with Gavin Newsom's proposed amendment and all 309 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.839 that stuff. This is a real thing. By the way, New York, 310 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:40.000 the state of New York, has now passed legislation has now passed legislation 311 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.720 that include background checks and purchase fees in order to buy ammunition. If you 312 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.440 want to see that again. That's in the stack of stuff. So I 313 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.240 don't want to make this whole episode. These things matter. There's so many 314 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:59.599 there's so many tentacles that have infringed upon the liberties of Americans. You know, 315 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.599 we we could take a deep dive into any any one of these. 316 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.359 And I don't want to get too far down this today because I do want 317 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.440 to talk about or into the areas of guns, which is still very important. 318 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.799 I'm just saying I want to stay on Hunter Biden. I want to 319 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:18.200 talk about what Jim Jordan has said about this. But this is important to 320 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:23.960 understand. So you had the indictments on Hunter, well, the initial Sweetheart 321 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:30.160 deal that fell through. Now suddenly seemingly out of the blue, out of 322 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.400 the blue, totally coincidental with all this stuff going on. Now we got 323 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:38.559 a Hunter Biden indictment again at the end of last week. Now you might 324 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:42.279 say wow, That's one response is wow, it's good to see that the 325 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:49.599 Department of Justice is trying to actually be impartial again. I think that that's 326 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:56.680 a crazy, crazy way of looking at it right now. I don't think 327 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.680 we're dealing with a Department of Justice under the leadership of Merrick Garland that is 328 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:07.640 worth trusting whatsoever. I think the correct way of looking at it is seeing 329 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.440 it again, not within a vacuum, but also what's going on in other 330 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.839 parts of the narrative, other things that are happening and so forth. And 331 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:23.079 one of those areas of course, is the impeachment inquiry into Hunter Biden. 332 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:32.160 Now these things intersect very very deeply, very very deeply. In fact, 333 00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.599 Politico has a piece out late last week or over the weekend. They argue 334 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.200 that the only evidence, the only evidence against Joe Biden. It's crazy. 335 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.680 By the way, this is a quote. The only evidence against Joe Biden 336 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.960 and this impeachment inquiry, why he should have this inquiry into possible impeachment is 337 00:29:53.160 --> 00:30:00.200 quote and I'm reading a quote here some text messages that Hunter sent while he 338 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:06.319 was addicted to crack cocaine. So, in other words, the only evidence 339 00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:10.920 are some messages he got from his son who has a drug problem. I 340 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:17.160 don't even know if if these messages were real legit, right, And so 341 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.960 the defense is on and I've got some words to say about that as well. 342 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.640 The narrative here, the stages of the way that they're going to try 343 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.759 to defend this, in fact, the way that they've already tried to defend 344 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:33.799 this, or to change the narrative or whatever. But you can't see the 345 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.759 Hunter indictments on its own. You have to look at it and understand that 346 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:44.640 it's happening. At the same time, this impeachment stuff is, and so 347 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.160 I think it's clear the Department of Justice wants to stay in front of this, 348 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.920 and they know that as the House of Representatives begins to make things public, 349 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.000 as they have their hearings and so forth in the impeachment inquiry, I 350 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.759 think that they know that if the American people see all of the incriminating things 351 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.440 on Hunter Biden's laptop, if they see all of those things, if they 352 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.240 if they're forced to report on them, because all of this is taking is 353 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:21.599 happening under this impeachment inquiry, and there's only I mean, they're going to 354 00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:23.839 try to do a lot of things here, but I don't think they can 355 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:30.640 get away with completely ignoring this. I think that now it's reached a level 356 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.880 that they're going to have to address it, and they know they know it's 357 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.640 going to be so damning in spite of what they're saying. In spite of 358 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.880 what they're saying, they know that it's going to be so damning, at 359 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:45.519 least for Hunter. It's almost like this indictment says, we have to understand 360 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.200 that our job is still this is I tell you how they think about it, 361 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.400 because Biden still wants them to protect his son and so forth as well. 362 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:59.319 They're they're not throwing in the towel on Hunter just yet, but they 363 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.319 are setting it up to where they say, we're going to try to defend 364 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:05.240 him. We're going to try to make him out to be the victim or 365 00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.799 whatever it is here that they're going to do. There's several avenues that they're 366 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.240 looking at taking here. But they also know that they are about to be 367 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:22.920 exposed for overlooking a whole lot of potentially criminal, allegedly criminal felonious activity, 368 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.319 and so they have to get out in front of this. In fact, 369 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:30.200 that's what Jim Jordan basically alluded to. I got that article in the stack 370 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.880 of stuff as well. Jim Jordan, the Republican from the Great State of 371 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:38.759 Ohio, says, the DOJ's indictment of Hunter Biden is a face saving exercise. 372 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:43.359 It is a face saving exercise. And it's not just to save the 373 00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:46.440 face of the DOJ. It's to save the face of the administration. Is 374 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.240 to try to make people say, because people just read headlines, wow, 375 00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:57.920 the DOJ decided to do something. You know, Biden's DOJ Bidendoj's fair. 376 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:05.599 They're going after his child, his son. So therefore the attempts that they've 377 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:10.400 taken to go after Trump cannot be political because they're shown to be very unbiased. 378 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.720 Remember, their hand was forced here in this situation with Hunter Biden, 379 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.440 so that's important to understand. That's what I think is going on here. 380 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.079 They're trying to save face, but they're still going to try to defend Joe 381 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.839 Biden and the administration. Of course, that's the a number one priority. 382 00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:37.680 They still want to defend Hunter as well. These folks are all part of 383 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:43.759 this small elite network. They're going to try to defend each other at all 384 00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.000 costs. But ultimately, if there's nothing they can do to save Hunter, 385 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.519 I mean, they're they're going to abandon him. I mean there will be 386 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.799 a scapegoat, there will be a fall guy if that gets to that point. 387 00:33:55.799 --> 00:34:00.720 But they've got several several attempts, are several different tactics they could take 388 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:07.280 to try to protect this guy here as things begin to unfolding the impeachment inquiry. 389 00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:09.320 But Odds is right, it's time to take a time out. My 390 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:22.000 friends sit tight back in a minute. Welcome back to my friends. So 391 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:27.480 let's really quickly here look at the defense strategy, if you will. The 392 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:34.079 mean it's not just the defense in the House of Representatives if this, of 393 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:38.519 course goes to impeachment, this situation with President bribery, but it's the whole 394 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:45.480 approach to the way that they're going to be defending this in the public sphere, 395 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.719 which is ultimately what they care the most about, especially in an election 396 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:54.800 year. They're superficial to begin with. They care about how things look because 397 00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:59.840 if they can manipulate it to look a certain way, that's a lot easier 398 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:05.800 their minds and actually have the character to be the things that people really desire 399 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:12.760 deep down to be a character in the character of their leaders. So let's 400 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:14.760 look at the state. And I don't even know if I want to call 401 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.440 these stages of the defense, because it's not a linear thing. These things 402 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.800 can be happening simultaneously. But here's a series of things that are going to 403 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.320 happen that are some have already happened. First, they're going to act as 404 00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:32.719 though Biden had zero percent, or I should say that the Hunter situation, 405 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.679 his business dealings, and all the stuff on the laptop. They're going to 406 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.800 try to convince they've already tried to do this try to convince the American people 407 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.280 that that has nothing to do, zero percent to do with President bribery. 408 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:52.239 They want the people, they want people to believe that this is an attack 409 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.880 on the president's son, because he's the president's son. They want you to 410 00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.960 believe that this is a act of political retribution for what happened to Donald J. 411 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:07.119 Trump. They want you to believe that Hunter Biden, and they'll do 412 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.320 this to weaken you know, some people just they'll they'll back off when this 413 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:15.639 is when some of these tactics are used. They want you to believe that 414 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:20.280 Hunter Biden got into drugs. It's something that's a personal battle. It's a 415 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.079 sad situation. Why are they They want the American people to think, why 416 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:28.800 are they going after this poor guy. He's struggling. He lost his brother, 417 00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.480 you know, he and his father were just trying to and the whole 418 00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:36.280 family was trying to cope. Hunter got into some bad things. Why can't 419 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:37.760 they just leave the guy alone. They're going to try that sort of thing. 420 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.840 They've already done that as well. They'll outright deny that there's any evidence 421 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:49.559 and they'll laugh it off. And that's what the fashion icon. Senator John 422 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.280 Futterman did last week. Didn't pull it off very well. That was so 423 00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:58.960 bizarre. I played that clip last I don't know, Wednesday, Thursday, 424 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:04.039 Friday, something like that. If they're forced to acknowledge that evidence exists, 425 00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.280 they're gonna say it's nothing serious. In fact, that's what they're out there 426 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:08.960 saying today. And I've got something in the stack of stuff. I don't 427 00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:14.920 have time to play it, but PBS has a couple of folks on there 428 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:22.920 who are based on One of them was saying this is basically I forget the 429 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:28.960 word he used, and it was I think it was David Brooks basically saying 430 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:37.079 is this is really weakening the true intent of what impeachment should be. You 431 00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.880 know, Yeah, there's some stuff that's on there that maybe shouldn't have been 432 00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:43.599 done, but doesn't have a lot to do with Biden. It's not serious. 433 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:49.800 This weakens the whole concept of what impeachment should be about. If there's 434 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.920 more evidence, they will start throwing people under the bus. They're gonna tell 435 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.960 us that this is just how politics works. Like it or leave it. 436 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.119 They're gonna say that this is not worthy of an impeachment. They're gonna acknowledge 437 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:08.400 Hey, this is problematic, but impeachment would only further drive the division between 438 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:12.159 this country. And of course, if they have to, they're going to 439 00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:17.199 claim that what we're experiencing with President bribery is nothing in comparison with Donald J. 440 00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:20.559 Trump.
