WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.480 Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Radio show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.759 not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.439 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:33.280 to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.960 All right, my friends, we are coming to you from the great state 6 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:46.320 of Florida, as we are still on our truth tour traveling. And I 7 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.719 saw a story over the week, and they got me to thinking. I 8 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.280 saw that there's some squatters who have effectively, from what I can tell, 9 00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:02.320 allegedly just took over someone's residence. And I probably should review this with Oz. 10 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.519 But if we get tired of camping line, I suppose that's always an 11 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.439 option here in the wonderful land of ridiculous laws here in the United States of 12 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.480 America, squatting laws of course being some of those. And of course, 13 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.599 my just the mess it creates for the owner of the property, the stupidity 14 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.719 that we have in some instances on some of these things that happened in this 15 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.120 wonderful land of ours. Greetings, my friends, I hope you had a 16 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.159 wonderful weekend. Email tot Tota show dot com. Should you want to be 17 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:38.120 part of today's conversation, you can also text us or leave a message as 18 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.519 well in the HUF hot line that number three one seven two one zero twenty 19 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:52.519 eight thirty three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. So there's a 20 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.040 couple of things that I want to talk about today. Of course it's usually 21 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:02.959 the case on a Monday. Lots of things to go through, lots of 22 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.520 things to catch up on, things that happened well late in the evening on 23 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:16.439 Friday, which include a Supreme Court ruling regarding the some abortion over the counter 24 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:23.919 medication which which was all over the place Friday evening. I saw breaking news 25 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.199 and all sorts of things. But really where I want to start today. 26 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:36.280 I want to start with what has been going on in Afghanistan. This is 27 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:43.159 an article from hotair dot com written by David Strom Shock revelation Afghanistan is back 28 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.680 as terrorist central. So this was published over the weekend yesterday. In fact 29 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:54.319 and effectively, he's referencing or signing an article in the Washington Post. Washington 30 00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:02.199 Post twittered out exclusive Afghanistan has become a terrorist some staging ground again leak of 31 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.960 US sensitive US documents reveals. So we've got the whole leak side of the 32 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.120 situation. I don't want to specifically talk about too much, but keep in 33 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:20.400 mind it is worth noting. It is worth noting that the reason we know 34 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:27.719 this information is because of leaked documents, which, of course you know. 35 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:35.599 Obviously there are laws that prevent that sort of thing, leaks and inappropriate things 36 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.479 from well, things that people are not authorized to share with the American public. 37 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.280 There's reasons for that, and we should have those those laws. But 38 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.319 there's also something to be said when our government keeps us in the dark on 39 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.280 a lot of things, and they've done that for quite some times, quite 40 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.439 some time. That's why Trump referred to Washington, DC as the swamp. 41 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:05.680 That's why phrases like drain the swamp deep State gets so much traction with many 42 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:14.879 people in the American electorate because we've been subjected, we've been subjected to professional 43 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.560 deceivers, both in the media, of course, but also in politics and 44 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.839 of course in the Deep States. Sometimes folks, sometimes even elected officials, 45 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:31.639 are not privy to the information. Sometimes these individuals, these cast of characters, 46 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:39.439 these folks that want to keep secrets from the American people, from elected 47 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:45.439 representatives are not forthcoming and truthful with the oversight committees and so forth in our 48 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.240 government. And so it's a big convoluted ness. But what we do know, 49 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:54.120 if we can go backwards in history now almost getting close to two years, 50 00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:05.120 Biden withdrew our troops haphazard from Afghanistan so that he could take credit for 51 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:13.079 being the president to finally end America's longest war, that being the war with 52 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.160 Afghanistan. And so they put as they usually usually do, they put headlines 53 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:26.519 over potential casualties. They put headlines and narratives and talking points over families, 54 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.959 over allies, over American interests. And we have a total debacle in Afghanistan. 55 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:39.800 In fact, you know, the Taliban is effectively taken back control and 56 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.360 now as reported by the Washington Post and as being discussed here in this article 57 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:51.040 written by David Strom, Afghanistan is once again terrorist central. And you know, 58 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.600 I know that we have a lot of we have a lot of veterans 59 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.759 that listen to this program. I've shared on here before. I think i've 60 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.360 shared this on here. I've done this whatnot for seven and a half years, 61 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.040 going on eight so I'm sure I mentioned this from time to time. 62 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:13.360 I did not, I did not serve. I tried. I did try. 63 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.720 And by try, what do I mean? Well, I I was 64 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:25.319 actually going through the process at the United States Naval Academy and West Point. 65 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:31.639 Even after this, I tried United States Marine Corps OCS program, all three 66 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:38.319 of which rejected me for sleepwalking. And this was in nineteen ninety seven. 67 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.680 And I really, I mean that really was hard on me at the time 68 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.360 because it's something that I had a very major interest in doing. And truth 69 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:54.160 be told, I was most interested in the United States Naval Academy. In 70 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.040 fact, I spent the night there at Annapolis. Fantastic place if you ever 71 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.639 get the chance to go there, truly remarkable, just facilities that had just 72 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.279 wonderful place. West Point. I did not go to West Point to stay. 73 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.399 And back in the days when I was getting recruited for football, It's 74 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.319 funny, I was a little, really little guy back in those days, 75 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.600 and I remember they were taking me on the tour a group of us, 76 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.920 a couple of us, and they said, what are some extracurricular activities you 77 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.040 want to do? And I said, well, I want to play football 78 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.000 and they said, all, great, We've got a great one hundred and 79 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.920 fifty pound and under team. And I said, no, no, no, 80 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.680 no, no, I don't want to play. I don't want to 81 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.439 play with that. I want to play with the big boys. And so 82 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.439 but I couldn't. I couldn't go. I was medically disqualified. And truth 83 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.639 be told, I mean that there are times and have been times that watching 84 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.959 what transpired from that date, which again was in nineteen ninety seven, watching 85 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:58.079 people that I know, including my brother in law who served and served overseas 86 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.959 in Afghanistan, and other people that I knew and went to school with and 87 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.399 so forth. Um, and just even from some of you that I've heard 88 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.439 from that I've met through this program, and I've I've watched and and learned 89 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:22.399 and just looked at the sacrifice, looked at the oh gee, just sacrifices. 90 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.040 The word that comes to the top of the list for me, individuals 91 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.440 that put themselves in harm's way to fight the war on terrorism. And I 92 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.799 know, of course there's questions about whether we should have been here there. 93 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.639 I don't want to get into that at the moment. I'm simply saying for 94 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.039 the people, for the men that I knew who enlisted and you know, 95 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.039 went through ROTC, whatever path they took to get to the military and to 96 00:08:52.159 --> 00:09:00.360 be involved in defending this great nation and to be involved and hunting down these 97 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:07.600 terrorists. Whatever role an individual played, and that role can be played in 98 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.279 a lot of places and on a lot of fronts in today's world. And 99 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:20.559 whatever again, whatever the specific responsibilities were to be involved in that, and 100 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.360 to you know, go back in history, back to September, say, 101 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.480 September twelfth, the day after nine to eleven, two thousand and one, 102 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:37.960 and just watching and feeling this country come together, left and right, liberal, 103 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.519 conservative, Republican, Democrat, Christian, atheist, whatever, all these 104 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.480 different groups of people coming together and putting flag the stickers on the sides of 105 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.159 their vehicles. Either the American flag was everywhere back in those days. And 106 00:09:52.200 --> 00:10:01.919 to watch people paying more respect and honor to veterans and to watching Americans, 107 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.480 I'd be kinder to one another. Church attendants jumped up, people reprioritized. 108 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:16.559 They realized how in many respects fragile life is. When they heard the stories 109 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.399 of what happened on nine to eleven, and they just envisioned in their minds 110 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.840 and in their imagination. People that went to work for the day on that 111 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:31.759 Tuesday morning to never come back home. And there's horrific, just gut wrenching 112 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.600 messages that exist out there today. People that left voicemails who were trapped in 113 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.720 trade towers, or people who were stuck on aircraft that they knew they were 114 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.919 not coming home, Just sad, sad things. Heroic action that day, 115 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.919 heroic action on aircraft, heroic action on the ground in the twin towers. 116 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.360 In fact, I met, as we've been down here in Florida, I 117 00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:00.360 met an individual who was who told me he was in the buildings on nine 118 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:07.919 to eleven. He was law enforcement and he was there at ground zero on 119 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.360 nine to eleven. And a lot of people, of course, lost their 120 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.000 lives, lost family members, and we remember that, those of us that 121 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.039 went through that, we remember that. We remember people like Pat Tillman. 122 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.559 For those of you that were fans of the NFL before the NFL got to 123 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.000 woke, Pat Tillman was a safety for the Saint Louis Cardinals. No so 124 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.759 was it Saint Louis. I don't remember where they were in two thousand and 125 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.600 two thousand and one. Maybe they were already in Arizona. I can't keep 126 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.480 up. Yeah, they would have been, because that's the Rams were in 127 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.440 Saint Louis then. But for the Arizona or maybe even the Phoenix Cardinals back 128 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.919 in those days, Pat Tillman quit his football career, enlisted, became an 129 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.440 army ranger. We know of story. We know many of you know people 130 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.840 like that. Some of you may have been one of those individuals who after 131 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.200 nine to eleven said, I am not going to sit around and do anything, 132 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.320 you know, sitting on my backside. This is a real legitimate threat. 133 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.799 These folks have launched a war against us, and we're going to take 134 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:13.480 it to them. We are going to smoke them out of their caves, 135 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.159 and we are going to annihilate the people who planned this so that this never 136 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.559 ever happens again. We remember this. We remember this for those of you 137 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:30.480 who weren't alive or who were too young too necessarily remember that that's what happened, 138 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.559 and this country came together. In fact, George W. Bush's approval 139 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799 ratings in the months after nine to eleven was in the ninth go and look, 140 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.399 I think it was ninety percent. I know it hit at least ninety, 141 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.960 it might have been in the low nineties. And why was that? 142 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:56.440 Because of that sense of camaraderie, because of that sense of just patriotism, 143 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.399 pride, grief, anger. We had songs like Toby Keith's The Angry American, 144 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.039 which of course even left us back then. We're offended by offended, 145 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.360 because it just blows my mind as I go back through the memory vault on 146 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.519 these sorts of things. But people were I'm angry at him for him saying 147 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.000 in a song, We're gonna come get you. Don't don't rattle this big 148 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.639 dog's cage unless you want what's about to come back at you. And so 149 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.720 we went all those emotions right, people singing the national and I remember I 150 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.360 remember being at an event, being at a high school basketball game, pausy, 151 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.159 I think high school basketball game. It was actually a tiny little town 152 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.039 that's west of where I grew up, actually where I lived today when when 153 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.039 we're back home, called Eminence, Indiana. It was a Monrovia Eminence basketball 154 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.240 game. And I can't remember if it was boys or girls, to be 155 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.440 candid, but I remember I remember the individual singing the anthem forgot the words. 156 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.240 Now I'm not saying this was two thousand and two, but this was 157 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.320 in the years following nine to eleven, within a few couple of years. 158 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.399 And that entire stadium, that entire gymnasium, I should say the Eel Tank 159 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.519 as we would refer to that place. Great place for basketball, great just 160 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.080 to need old place. But anyway, the whole crowd started singing the national 161 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.879 anthem. And you remember there's been other instances of this. Sometimes the singer 162 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.639 didn't forget the lyrics to the national anthem, and crowd members, participants sang 163 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.840 along with the individual singing the anthem. There was there was pride, not 164 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.399 not a bad you know, sometimes we use that word wrong. It's a 165 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.919 Christian one I supposed to you know. Pride is the one sense of the 166 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.639 word is having a mindset that doesn't need God, that I'm the be all 167 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.679 in doll and so forth. I don't mean it in that sense. I 168 00:14:50.720 --> 00:15:00.759 just mean a sense of a sense of just loving your country and caring about 169 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.879 that community and being able to look upon it and thinking, we have a 170 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.559 good thing here. And I'm going to stand up and I'm going to do 171 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:16.639 all I can to you know, pat, to communicate this, to to 172 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.279 share this and people would share long people would sing God, bless America, 173 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.360 America the beautiful. These were the sorts of songs that were being saying everywhere 174 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.159 back in those days. And I paint this picture to say, because all 175 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:37.759 of this has come completely unraveled, all of it has come completely unraveled. 176 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:43.320 I don't say that to the men and women who put on the uniform and 177 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.279 did their job. This is not you obviously did your job. This administration 178 00:15:50.399 --> 00:16:00.519 has undermined everything that boat you personally did, and that this country collectively did 179 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:07.120 or wanted to see done as it pertained to reducing the threat of global terrorism 180 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:12.519 or terrorism directed specifically at the United States of America, her citizens, and 181 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:19.960 her interests. Those things have completely come unraveled by this administration. And we 182 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:26.039 left there nearly two years ago just because he wanted the administration wanted. Biden 183 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.039 wanted headlines that said leading up to the twentieth that right, it would have 184 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.039 been the twentieth anniversary, if you will, of nine to eleven twenty years 185 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.720 later. He wanted the headlines. Biden is the first president in the war 186 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.720 in Afghanistan. Biden ends the longest war ever, and of course ending wars 187 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.240 is a good thing. But you know what, well, winning them is 188 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.360 the most important, or waging the ones we should wage and not waging the 189 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.440 ones we shouldn't. That's of course part of this discussion too. But you 190 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.840 want to win and you want to get out of it. You don't want 191 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.240 these things going on forever. I get all of that, But you also 192 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.160 do not want to leave arbitrarily because you have some sort of a desire for 193 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:18.319 pr desire for a narrative that you think is somehow good to where you put 194 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.200 the lives of people currently over there. What was it fifteen thousand people were 195 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.440 stuck over there at one point. I still don't know. There's still people 196 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.880 stuck over there from what I can gather. Of course, the media doesn't 197 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.920 want to talk about this. Media doesn't talk about this at all. They 198 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:40.160 just said Biden into the war in Afghanistan? Who, well, how did 199 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.640 he end it? Look at all the equipment they had, Remember they just 200 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.359 had a video here several weeks ago where they were kind of showing off all 201 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.680 of the American equipment that they had in their possession because we left it there. 202 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.839 And you think about all the people that helped us, all of the 203 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.680 Americans that are still there. And then, of course, all of the 204 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:03.680 work that American military veterans did to defend this country, protect her interests, 205 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.519 go after the perpetrators, those who are intent on doing evil killing, maiming, 206 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:15.960 destroying Americans, destroying Americans that they did on nine to eleven. All 207 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:25.240 that hard work has been completely desecrated. That's what Biden and this administration has 208 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.839 done, and they've unraveled what that work accomplished, and now to the point 209 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:38.039 where Afghanistan is once again apparently ground zero for terrorist activities around the globe. 210 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:44.400 Absolutely reprehensible. This is truly deplorable. But I've got to take your break, 211 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.799 my friends. Sit tight, you're listening to conservative not better talk. 212 00:18:45.839 --> 00:19:03.680 I'm your host, Toadhoff. Back in just a minute. Welcome back, 213 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.519 my friends. This again, I take no pleasure. I take no pleasure 214 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.160 at talking about what we're talking about here today. I take no pleasure and 215 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:18.519 telling you that the work that so many Americans, so many folks in the 216 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:26.559 military have done to ensure that the region of the world that they were operating 217 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:37.680 in was as much as possible free of organized terror networks. People who were 218 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:47.119 groups and governments who were friendly to the terrorists and so forth. They the 219 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:52.920 military did everything within their power to clear that mess up, right, to 220 00:19:52.960 --> 00:20:02.480 get rid of that, to make it no longer a as big of a 221 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:03.839 threat. I mean, I gotta trying to think of the best way to 222 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.119 say it, because the threat is, folks, when you have a region 223 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:21.720 of the world that has pockets of radical extremist Islamic teachings and beliefs, that 224 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:29.799 of course is at odds and completely antithetical to the American way. It is 225 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:37.960 they are going to hate this country because the things that radical Islamists teach and 226 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:44.759 preach are the opposite of what Western civilization is, of what a free nation 227 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:52.440 is. And so of course there's always going to be you know, groups 228 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.400 of people who who are saying and teaching some extreme things, and of course 229 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.920 some are even going to take that to the next the next level. But 230 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:11.759 the amount of effort put forth in eradicating that network was I mean massively impressive, 231 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:19.000 the work that was done there. And now what Now it's as though 232 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:29.359 Afghanistan is in the same type of situation it was in, just at least 233 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:34.039 the playing field, at least the ideology of those are who are in power 234 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:41.519 there. It was it's almost reverted back. It sounds from reports from the 235 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.400 New York or, assuming me, the Washington Post and this article that I've 236 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.680 been referencing here this morning, which of course will be on today's stack of 237 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.880 stuff. But it's almost as though we went right back. We've reverted right 238 00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.599 back to the type of situation, the type of landscape, ideological landscape that 239 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:06.319 we had in a post nine to eleven world. That's what has happened here, 240 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:12.039 and that is there's not even been any questions really about that this administration 241 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:18.920 has not been held accountable. Kudos to House Republicans for pushing this. One 242 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:23.039 of the many things they're pushing is to get answers on Afghanistan. And I 243 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.880 hope, look, I know that a big motivator for a lot of people 244 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:34.599 is to use these is to use these committees and so forth, these hearings 245 00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:41.240 to weaponize politics and to set yourself up for a political victory. As to 246 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.160 how you're shaping the narrative in Washington, DC. I hope that this is 247 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.440 not what this is about. I hope this is really and truthfully about holding 248 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:59.039 people accountable, namely Biden and the people making these decisions in the administration because 249 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:07.559 this has created a massive, massive problem. Excuse me, this has created 250 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:14.720 a massive problem by creating this this void, and of course who fills the 251 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.039 void? I mean it's I've set on this program for a long long time. 252 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.559 American weakness is what's truly provocative. It's not a president who tweets things 253 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:32.799 that our geopolitical adversaries and enemies might find offensive. That is so ridiculous to 254 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.880 me. What is what is really provocative to them? If you want to 255 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:42.599 if you want to see these folks who are our geopolitical enemies, if you 256 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:51.680 want to see them make moves that are truly dangerous, not just saying they're 257 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.279 upset about a tweet or some comment. If you want to see what really 258 00:23:55.519 --> 00:24:02.599 sets them off or gives them the I guess, the ability or the courage 259 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:08.839 maybe to take some of these dramatic steps. It's when America is perceived to 260 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.400 be weak, and right now we are perceived to be weak. And this 261 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:22.240 is not This is not specifically targeted at today's service members. It's targeted to 262 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:27.799 those who are wanting to use the American military to I don't know, get 263 00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:34.599 involved in social justice or the transgender movement or whatever is next climate change, 264 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:40.880 instead of actually defending this great nation and protecting her interests domestically and around the 265 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:45.799 globe. But it is the people who are in positions of leadership who have 266 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:52.359 abdicated their responsibility kick the can down the road, starting with one Joseph ar 267 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.920 Biden. He's never been held accountable to this. The only thing that I 268 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.160 really ever have heard him say about this is that Trump is the one to 269 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.720 blame. Trump's fault. Trump's the one that set this in motion. What 270 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.160 could he do? What could Biden do? Well? He could have stopped 271 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.640 it, He could have delayed if it wasn't ready. But my friends, 272 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.359 the truth is all they cared about is I don't like saying these things, 273 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:21.079 even for people that I politically disagree with. It is abundantly clear to me 274 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.519 that all they care about is the narrative. All they care about is the 275 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:30.400 headline. All they care about is how it politically benefits them. They put 276 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.440 that above everything else. In fact, I wouldn't even say above it. 277 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:41.279 I would say just exclusively, that is what they think about is their political 278 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:48.880 interests at the expense of the fifteen thousand people that were reportedly left behind at 279 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.720 the beginning at the expense of the people that are there today, at the 280 00:25:52.759 --> 00:26:03.400 expense of watching the Taliban restage regroup in Afghanistan, making it a central point 281 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.440 for global terrorism again again, as being reported by the Washington Posts, all 282 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:15.720 that mattered at the time was the headline, Biden ends the war, and 283 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.240 it's just you think about what this nation gave up, What individuals most importantly 284 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:26.200 gave up. People who lost loved ones either on nine to eleven in the 285 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.799 war on terror, people who of course gave their lives, people who lost 286 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:37.640 someone who gave their life, people who came back with physical injuries, extreme 287 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:45.200 injuries, extreme trauma, actual PTSD, not the type of PTSD that people 288 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:51.759 flippantly say if they had a bad day today and this woke week America that 289 00:26:51.799 --> 00:27:00.319 we live in, actual PTSD, literal, just heartache and destruct and loss 290 00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:08.160 all for all in exchange for Biden and the Left, whoever you want to 291 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.319 blame. It's it's this weak ideology, my friends. It's the folks who 292 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:18.319 embrace this crap and now we're right back to where where we started. It 293 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.119 is a shame, It is a smack in the face of those who fought 294 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.519 for this. It's a smack in the face to all Americans, but definitely 295 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:32.119 first and foremost a smack in the face to those who sacrifice so much. 296 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.720 So anyway, that is where we are today. I've got to take a 297 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.119 time out, my friends. Sit tight, you're listening to conservative not better 298 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:52.799 talking. I'm your host, Tod Huff Back in just a minute. I'm 299 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:57.400 back, my friends. So, because we're talking about the military, and 300 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:04.480 I was speaking really with a lot of focus earlier in the program with two 301 00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:11.160 veterans or in regard to their sacrifice and what they did in response to night 302 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:14.920 and not just not just nine to eleven, but this of course, we're 303 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.400 talking about the war on terror, specifically in Afghanistan and all that stuff. 304 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:26.480 Today I want to take a moment too, those of you again, if 305 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.680 you've if you were involved in any way, shape, manner, or form 306 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.400 in the military after nine eleven, before as well, but again we're talking 307 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:41.799 about nine to eleven today, we're talking about what has happened in Afghanistan since, 308 00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:49.279 well, since Biden has taken office, which has been nothing short of 309 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:56.279 disastrous. By the way, you have earned and you should have earned. 310 00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.720 You should have been com and sated. Right, You're compensated through your paychecks. 311 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:11.799 But you're also entitled to a series of benefits that is part of the 312 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:18.599 compensation you are supposed to receive. And I know some of you, I 313 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:23.000 just some folks are fine with this, but other folks think, no, 314 00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:29.319 I don't want any more. You know, I've I've got my check or 315 00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:32.640 whatever. But these these programs, there's a lot of them. There's a 316 00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.720 lot of things that they've that this government has put into place to compensate you. 317 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.799 It is not a handout, my friends. It is not an entitlement. 318 00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:44.279 It is something that you have earned. It is part of your compensation. 319 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:51.599 And I'm not sure, actually, I know that many have not accessed 320 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.400 a lot of the benefits that you're entitled to. And you will have noticed 321 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:02.119 here in the past couple of months that we've partnered with a gentleman by the 322 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:10.559 name of Albert Winks. He's a former MEDEVAC pilot. He's retired from the 323 00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:15.799 military and he now helps veterans make sure they're getting all of their all of 324 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:21.119 their benefits. And so you've heard his ads on this program. But what 325 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.279 I thought I would do today, just for the sake of simplicity, is 326 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.559 to tell you. Look, I think, and I don't care where you 327 00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.160 are, I don't care when you served. It's part of what is due 328 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.960 due to you. And I think it would be worth your while to talk 329 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:45.640 to Albert. I've gotten, we've gotten our company collectively to know Albert here 330 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:52.039 over the past the past several months, and he helps people in a lot 331 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.880 of ways access a lot of a lot of things that they are old, 332 00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:04.880 and it can be a blessing and it can help in many many ways. 333 00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:11.759 I mean, the amount of benefits that people leave untouched is from what I 334 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:17.279 gather, is pretty substantial. And so I think it's worth your time. 335 00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.200 Arbeit from you make this decision on your own, of course, but I 336 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.839 think it's worth your time to talk to Albert. He has he's actually gotten 337 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:29.400 all of his there's a term for it. It's slipping me at the moment, 338 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.000 one hundred percent something. He has. He's got all of his and 339 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.160 he basically helps everyone else get all of theirs as well. And so to 340 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.400 simplify it, I know, I you can go to his website, Ascension 341 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:48.720 Mentorship, and there's a page there for the Fulfilled Veteran Project. But I'm 342 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.839 just going to simplify it today, because that's a lot of stuff to hear 343 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:53.440 over the radio. What I'm gonna do is say, text me and I'll 344 00:31:53.440 --> 00:32:00.240 connect you. We will connect you. Text the word veteran, the E, 345 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.359 T R, A N, text the word vets. All know what 346 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.680 it means. We will know what it means, and we can connect you 347 00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:09.960 to Albert. Get you on his calendar. You can communicate with him about 348 00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.680 those benefits that you have earned. And that is what I want you to 349 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.319 hear him. You say, I know that we talk as conservatives, as 350 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.680 libertarians, as lovers of limited government, not lovers of big government, lovers 351 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:30.599 of liberty, limited government and the constitution, constitutional republics and so forth that 352 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:36.079 are rooted in goodness and truth as ours is. By the way, we 353 00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:39.839 talk about entitlements and how that can be a drag on society. That is 354 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:45.279 not what this is. It isn't. Albert can explain more. But if 355 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.559 you want to talk with him again, I'll connect you. We'll get you 356 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:54.599 on his calendar. Just text the word veteran to three one seven, two 357 00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.960 one zero twenty eight thirty. Even if you're on the fence right now, 358 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.240 it's worth it. I'm I'm telling you it's worth it one more time. 359 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:08.799 Grab a pin, jot it down here. It is text the word veteran 360 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:16.319 three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. As I've said these words 361 00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:21.240 and talked about nine to eleven today and thought about your sacrifices, it's just 362 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.200 first and front first, it's it's in the front of my mind. First 363 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.920 and foremost in my mind is I think about what you've done, what this 364 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:37.160 nation has done, but specifically what you have done, and your you should 365 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:42.880 be You should get access to all the things that the government has set aside 366 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.920 to compensate you as part of your sacrifice. So again, text the word 367 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:52.559 veteran three one seven two one zero, twenty eight thirty. I'm gonna take 368 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.039 a time out. My friends will connect you with Albert Winks. He'll help 369 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:59.119 you figure out if you've got access to all your benefits. Chances are you 370 00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.440 don't, on some of you might, and chances are you might be very 371 00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.480 very surprised as to what you can access. So quick, time out, 372 00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:19.840 my friend, sit tight back in just a minute. A couple of other 373 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:21.760 things I want to touch on. I'm not gonna be able to get to 374 00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.000 all of this, but I do want to I do want to point out 375 00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:32.719 or talk briefly about this. Remember the Nashville school shooter here several weeks ago, 376 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:43.480 there was supposedly a manifesto that was that was written and an official for 377 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.639 the city of Nashville. I don't know if that official was a member of 378 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.199 the police department or spoke. I don't know who it was, but I've 379 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:51.440 I've read on this. I just don't have it pulled up in front of 380 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.840 me here. I'm doing that as I speak. But the Nashville that the 381 00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:04.559 individual who was speaking on this said that this is that this particular manifesto is 382 00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:13.360 astronomically dangerous. Appears that there may be at one point they were talking about 383 00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.800 releasing this in general. I don't know from the sounds of this, I 384 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.159 don't know what they're going to do. I don't know what they're going to 385 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:27.400 do. I don't really understand because the individuals not elaborate what it is that's 386 00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.719 that's dangerous. Is it the detailed plan, which apparently, according to reports 387 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.920 there were it was highly detailed. So is that what's dangerous? Is the 388 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:45.760 mentality in the rationale behind it dangerous? Is there something else here. I'm 389 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.000 not. I'm not sure because we're not. We haven't seen it yet and 390 00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.440 we may not. We may not see it. So that's out there. 391 00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:55.719 We've got politics. We got desantist firing back at Trump. De Santis firing 392 00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:59.519 back at Trump, and you know what he should fire back at Trump. 393 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:05.440 Trump's been going really hard at DeSantis. De Santis, I think, over 394 00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:12.880 the weekend said that leaders don't subcontract their leadership to health bureaucrats like doctor Fauci. 395 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:20.119 Remember when I said, I, look, I think that De Santis 396 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:24.079 should not run. I like De Santis a lot, don't even I don't 397 00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:30.360 even think that should be interpreted as I prefer De Santis over over Trump, 398 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:31.840 or excuse me, Trump over De Santis. That's not even what I mean. 399 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:37.519 I just think strategically it is in the best interests of De Santis to 400 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.360 not to not jump into this race. It appears that that's very likely, 401 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.360 very possibly anyway where we're headed, So the Santis is not going back after 402 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.519 Trump. Trump's of course been going after the Santis for some time, calling 403 00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:55.000 him to sanctimonious bad mouthing the state of Florida, which is again where we 404 00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:00.280 are at the moment. I gotta tell you, I Trump Trump is it 405 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:01.920 may not be on the right side of this one. There's a lot of 406 00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:08.039 a lot of ways that Trump can, of course, get people behind him. 407 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:14.719 And I think his desire to fight, in his desire to address some 408 00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:22.719 of these key issues like securing our southern border, protecting Americans Second Amendment rights, 409 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:28.880 fighting, stopping what he would call the deep state, draining the swamp, 410 00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:32.280 the people are behind that stuff on. But if he wants to take 411 00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.599 the santas on over the handling of COVID, I just I don't know that 412 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.079 that's one that he's going to win. So we got that out there. 413 00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:44.679 We got Chris Christie out there saying he thinks he can beat Trump. He 414 00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.559 thinks he can beat Trump. There was a time years ago that I thought 415 00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:52.480 we you know, Chris CHRISTI is a moderate guy, and he's in some 416 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:57.880 ways. In some ways he's got that brash style that's similar to Trump, 417 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.840 but he's been so politicized and and he's he's you know, turned into a 418 00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.760 politician, I think, and he's been he moves so far left, of 419 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.559 course, as he's from the Northeast and all that. But anyway, so 420 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:12.800 there's just some other things in the news, and I just them don't have 421 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:14.639 time to get to anymore. I get to get time out. My friends. 422 00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.000 Sit tight. You're listening to America's Home for Conservative not Better Talk. 423 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.119 I'm your host, the one, the only taught tough back in just a 424 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:32.960 minute, welcome back my friend's waning moment of the program. I know it's 425 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.679 the most, well, the saddest part of the day probably, and I 426 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.239 can relate to that I did see. I want to say this really briefly, 427 00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:46.800 Charles Barkley and Gail King. Isn't this Oprah's Is Oprah's friend? I 428 00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:51.559 don't follow that stuff very closely. Oz is not in here with me today. 429 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:57.639 I think that's Oprah's friend. I could be wrong, but they are 430 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:05.239 apparently about to launch a well. I think it's a television show that is 431 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.679 the Democrats or the liberals closest attempt at something conservative not better. They're going 432 00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.480 to try to do something where they're not screaming each other. We'll see how 433 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.800 that pans out. I've seen imitators all over the place, but no one 434 00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.199 can harness the power of conservative not Better Talk. Folks. I've got to 435 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:25.440 go thank you so much for listening. Have a great day, SDG.
