Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Tod Huff. 5 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.679 Well, that is right, my friends, you have tuned in to America's 6 00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.479 homes for conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, Todd Huff, 7 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.640 the benevolent dictator. Here at the top half show. You have found radio's 8 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.560 safe space podcasts. Safe space. My friend so I used to say, 9 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.399 I don't care what you believe. I do care what you believe. But 10 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.359 you can be a leftist, a liberal. You can be a moderate, 11 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.039 a Union day democrat. You can be a conservative, a libertarian. You 12 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.000 can be an anarchist, you can be whatever. You can be the antithesis 13 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.599 of me, an atheistic, radical leftist. You are welcome to listen to 14 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.200 this program. I need to advise you, though, that listening to this 15 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:23.000 program will undoubtedly cause you to lean to the right. In fact, ninety 16 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.280 eight percent of scientists, it's even one percent more one percent more of scientists 17 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.560 agree that listening to this program may cause you to lean to the right than 18 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:38.480 believe that man is the primary driving force causing climate change on planet Earth. 19 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:45.719 So you have been duly warned, my friends, exercise extreme caution if you're 20 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.599 operating heavy machinery, if you're driving a vehicle. I would even say, 21 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.079 if you're walking down the hallway with something like a cup of coffee, you 22 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.519 will find yourself drifting to the right. Just be advised, my friends, 23 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.840 you have been warned. So a lot of the things again in the stack 24 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.240 of stuff here that I want to get to, I want to today. 25 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.680 I want to talk a little bit about the October seventh attack. I want 26 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:21.759 to talk specifically about polling regarding Palestinians and their support for what happened on October 27 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:30.080 seventh of last year when they attacked Israel. Tom Brady's that's considered a curse 28 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.639 word in the part of the country where I am, the Indianapolis area is 29 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:39.719 not a fan of Tom Brady. The Patriots and tom Brady whooped us for 30 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.879 a long time. In fact, I wonder I find myself wondering how many 31 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.360 Super Bowls Peyton Manning would have if there wasn't a guy named Tom Brady in 32 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.360 the NFL. I have since there was a time when I did not like 33 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.599 Tom Brady. I have since come to really appreciate respect and like tom Brady. 34 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:02.120 He was a what I was not elect but he was placed into the 35 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.479 New England Patriots Hall of Fame and he's got He gave a speech that I 36 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.759 would say is an anti woke speech talking about success, achievement, hard work, 37 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.319 things that I think the world needs to hear more of. Candidly, 38 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.400 I've got a little bit on that as well. And there's other things, 39 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:30.360 including the way that social media impacts or even changes the way that we look 40 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.639 at the world. So that's where we're headed today. So bear with me 41 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.240 as we get things rolling along here. Before we get started into full swing, 42 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.879 let me remind you that if you are looking to take care of your 43 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.479 body, right, it's our responsibility to do this.

Sponsors and advertisers of 61 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.680 The Todd Huff Show do not necessarily agree with the views, ideas, and 62 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.439 opinions expressed on this program, but they absolutely should. So let's start here 63 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:44.439 today. We know what's happening in Gaza. We know the story of of 64 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:51.160 course, what's happened there. We've seen the protests, the tensions, the 65 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:58.079 fights in Congress, the openly anti Semitic statements, the college campuses that were 66 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:04.319 taken over by insert directionists, college campuses that were taken over by occupiers, 67 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:12.519 the true occupiers taking over college campuses, if you will, to show their 68 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.000 support, their solidarity with the terrorist organization Hamas. We've seen all these things 69 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:24.399 happen. We've seen tensions around the globe. We've seen just anti Semitic stuff, 70 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.040 pro terrorist stuff, and now there's a poll out. All this all 71 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.120 stemmed from what happened October seventh, which some people have a hard time saying 72 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:40.240 was an evil act of terrorism that was absolutely one unjustified. But that's I 73 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.800 guess, neither here nor there at the moment. It's just quite telling who 74 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:48.000 these people are. Headline here at Breitbart dot com. Sixty seven poll sixty 75 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:55.160 seven percent of Palestinian support October seventh attack. To expect Hamas to win, 76 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:04.639 so two thirds two thirds of Palestinians support the attack on October seventh. Now 77 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:14.399 in a sane world, there is absolutely zero, I mean zero reason to 78 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.319 support what happened on October seventh. And you know what happened, But just 79 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:25.240 to quickly summarize, you had a group of terrorist thugs enter into Israel, 80 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:31.879 invade Israel, carrying AK forty seven other firearms and so forth, storming towns, 81 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.800 killing people. It didn't matter if they were elderly, it didn't matter 82 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.920 if they were children, it didn't matter if they were men or women. 83 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.519 They stormed and killed people, They tortured people. They took some of these 84 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:54.439 people hostage. Some of these people are still hostages today. They have raped 85 00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:03.600 and murdered and tortured untold numbers of Israelis. There were Americans in this group 86 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.759 of people that were taking hostage as well. They produced carnage. It was 87 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:16.560 wicked, it was unacceptable. But yet polling shows that sixty seven percent of 88 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:24.240 Palestinians support what happened on October the seventh. There's no justification for this. 89 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.360 Now, I will tell you this. Now, this is interesting. The 90 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.879 poll, and I'm reading from this article, the poll shows that the drop 91 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:45.000 in support for October seventh was entirely in Gaza. So the poll showed that 92 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:50.480 support for October seventh in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip, which is where 93 00:08:50.519 --> 00:09:00.360 all of this military activity is happening, the support for October seventh dropped from 94 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:09.360 seventy one percent to fifty three percent. Now the Palestinians in the West Bank, 95 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.840 which is over of course that's Jerusalem, that's not that's not the Gaza 96 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.080 Strip along the Mediterranean. This is more over on the other side of Israel. 97 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.720 It's it's close because Israel is a small country, roughly the size of 98 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:30.600 New Jersey. But the Palestinians in the West Bank in the support for October 99 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.480 seventh had increased from the initial polls taken. I don't have the date when 100 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.039 the initial poles were taken, oh, back in March. So Palestinians in 101 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.000 the West Bank support Hamas two percent more now than they did previously. But 102 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:50.039 the people who were there with the fighting amidst the fighting in Gaza went from 103 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.600 supporting October seventh and from seventy one percent supporting it to fifty three percent. 104 00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:01.080 So it's almost a toss up now. But I find this this is worth 105 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.120 noting because a couple of things. Number one, Number one, we are 106 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.519 you know, when you think of when you think of governing authorities, and 107 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.799 I know Hamasi, you know it's a terrorist organization, but it's also a 108 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.840 governing authority in that part of the world. It's I mean, it's crazy 109 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.480 to say and to think about, but this is who the people elected. 110 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.279 This is who the people elected to lead them in that part of the world. 111 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.879 But it you know, a lot of times a governing authority people who 112 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.960 those who are responsible for making these decisions, the ones that will be waging 113 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.279 war. As an example, they might have values, or they might be 114 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.440 acting out values different from the people, or they might be acting completely against 115 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.720 the will of the people. I'm reminded of Iran. Iran's a good example 116 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.320 of this. You know, our problem in Iran is with the leadership, 117 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:03.960 with the Ayatolahs, with the radical Islamic terrorists running that country. That's who 118 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.919 The problem is with the beef is not with the rank and file. Now, 119 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.080 certainly there are people in the rank and file who agree with and support 120 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:20.320 and go along with these things that the Iranian thugs leading that country are doing. 121 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.679 But there's a movement for liberty amongst those people. Those people in Iran 122 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:33.399 have suffered tremendously. That is an oppressive, heavy handed, evil regime. 123 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.240 But the people in fact, you remember, remember back when Obama was president, 124 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.320 there was an uprising amongst the people, and no support was really shown 125 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.080 or given to these folks. And so that we must differentiate between the governing 126 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:54.960 officials and governing authorities versus the individual people of the country. Now what's interesting 127 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.840 here, though, is that the people in the country are still out there 128 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:07.440 supporting Now it's people in gays are barely supporting what happened on October seventh. 129 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.039 Now, there's another factor here that's kind of interesting. And the interesting part 130 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.200 of this that I want to share with you is that listen to this. 131 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.759 Eighty percent of Palestinian respondents claimed that they had not seen videos of hamas atrocities 132 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:31.039 on October seventh, seventh, So, of the people who responded to this 133 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.799 poll who said that they supported October seventh, almost none of them. Only 134 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.720 one out of every five of them had actually seen videos of what Hamas did 135 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.799 on October seventh. Now, on the one hand, if I describe it 136 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.879 to you, if I describe to you that Hamas was killing women and children, 137 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:58.679 raping women, murdering people, regardless of their age, how elderly healthy 138 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.919 they were. You know, this was a surprise terrorist attack, designed to 139 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.600 basically terrorize and to kill and to commit violence against a group of people that 140 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:18.000 did nothing to deserve this, And so that should be enough. That should 141 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.840 be enough to make you say that wasn't a good thing. I don't support 142 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.600 what happened on October seventh. By the way, if someone tells you they 143 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:30.440 support October seventh, my friends, they are openly embracing evil. They are 144 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:39.960 openly embracing terrorism. They are openly embracing absolute depravity and evil. That's what 145 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:45.759 this is. So, but these Palestinians haven't seen the videos, which maybe 146 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.240 to some makes the difference. This article points out that only three percent of 147 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.759 those who said they had not seen the videos said that Hamas had committed atrocities. 148 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.159 So what does this point out. It's a point out of distrust for 149 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.440 what's being reported. Do they think that they're being maligned? What do they 150 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.960 think was happening on October seventh? I mean, it's clear that October seventh 151 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.120 was something they support. October seventh, What is it that they support? 152 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.480 What do they think happened? What do they think is being lied about what 153 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.120 do they think the lies that are being told in the media, in the 154 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:26.759 narrative. What is the part that they're not connecting here? Only three percent 155 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.000 of those who had said they had not seen the video, so that Hamas 156 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:35.600 had committed atrocities. So basically seeing is believing here. So why don't they 157 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.159 Why don't they see? Why don't they want to see this? Why don't 158 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:46.440 I mean there's a gap here, right, there's a gap regarding what is 159 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.080 well, what living in reality looks like, and then what supporting terrorism looks 160 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.799 like. So but it's we have to come to grips with the fact that 161 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:05.440 this is largely supported. What happened on October seventh was largely supported out this 162 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:11.200 does not again, this doesn't. I don't say this to say that israel 163 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.320 Is, you know, shouldn't have any restraint or try to you know, 164 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.720 not involve not involve citizens. And that's not my point in saying this. 165 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:30.559 I'm just pointing out that this ideology has absolutely infiltrated almost in some cases almost 166 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:39.440 completely. The Palestinian people and our leaders are the ones who are out here 167 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:46.519 showing their support for these people who are saying October seventh was a good thing. 168 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.279 Basically, that's what members of Congress are saying, people like aoc Rashieta 169 00:15:52.360 --> 00:16:02.039 talib elon Omar defending these these folks. This is why it's hard to win. 170 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.879 You know, when we were into Rock, the whole mission of winning 171 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.440 hearts and minds. Whatever you think about a rock, I'm not I'm not 172 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.519 saying it to open that can. I'm just saying part of the mission was 173 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.679 to win, to try to win the hearts and minds, to to to 174 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:22.600 get people to see that you know, this cause was the right side of 175 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.240 the you know, the right side of the argument, the right side of 176 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.440 the conflict, whether you agree with it or not. But that's that's a 177 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:32.039 big part of these battles is to say, you know, it's not just 178 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.600 enough to go in and try to win militarily. That's that's important, right, 179 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.759 I mean, we have to be able to to win these battles militarily. 180 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.360 Israel does in this case. I'm not saying US troops should do this, 181 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.519 but it's more than that. It's actually it's actually getting to the root 182 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:53.559 cause of all of the hate. And if you got two thirds of Palestinians 183 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:59.080 who say it was totally fine, October seventh, was even a good thing. 184 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.039 That's a major problem I remember, and I gotta take it. I 185 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.920 gotta take a little pause here, but well, I'm gonna take a pause 186 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.039 and then I'm gonna tell you something that I remember watching on on a documentary 187 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.519 years ago.

All right, So I remember 203 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.160 years ago, I'm talking heres, this is probably twenty years ago. I 204 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.200 remember watching a documentary. I don't remember exactly what it was. My memory 205 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:48.960 is not quite that good, but I remember they went to like a Palestinian 206 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:57.319 school, and you know, to understand how deep this hatred exists, how 207 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.039 deeply rooted it is. I remember I was blown away by this. Really. 208 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:04.640 I was, you know, younger man, probably in my early to 209 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:08.400 mid twenties, still trying to, you know, understand some of these things. 210 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.880 And I realized that, you know, the depth of this problem. 211 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:19.200 And so in this school, in this Palestinian school, they were teaching so 212 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.240 I think it was math, math or reading, you know, and you 213 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:27.559 know how there's story problems in math today. Or you know, you have 214 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:33.200 a sample paragraph that you read in reading class. You're you're learning to read, 215 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:38.440 your kids learning to read, and the paragraph was for the reading was 216 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.240 something like, you know, the evil Israeli pigs or something like that. 217 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.480 That was the sentence. And so what's so terrible about this sort of thing 218 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.559 is that this is this is speaking on a subconscious level. You're not sitting 219 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.200 the kids down and saying, hey, we are you know, the Israeli 220 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.920 people are bad and they're and you actively try to persuade them. Which I'm 221 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.599 not endorsing that either. I'm saying that this is even worse because the kids 222 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.200 don't have their defenses up. It's like they're just getting facts. They're just 223 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.359 learning to read. But as they're learning to read, they're being told, 224 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.920 they're being reminded of how wicked the Israelis are. And so this fire is 225 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:33.599 constantly being having having accelerant and fuel added to the fire that's burning within this 226 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.960 conflict. And the math was the same way, right if you have you 227 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.359 know, seven evil Israelis doing this and you you know, you kill three 228 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.799 of them, you know, like that sort of stuff was in in the 229 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.279 story problems or in the in the example reading text, and that is I 230 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:59.519 mean, it's insidious, it's it's cancerous. And so we wonder, we 231 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.559 wonder what two thirds of Palestinians support this stuff. Well, that's a part 232 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.279 of the reason that sort of thing right there. This stuff runs deep. 233 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:15.359 It is evil, it is sick, and it's the reason that it's hard 234 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:19.519 to win these battles for the hearts and minds because there's so much, so 235 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:27.960 much misinformation, so much intentional programming, intentional hatred, hitting groups of people 236 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:32.319 against one another. This runs deep, my friends. And of course there's 237 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.680 the reality that this conflict and tension can be traced back to Abraham, Isaac 238 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:44.599 and Ishmael thousands of years ago. Another issue altogether. But this is a 239 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.000 deep, deep, deep problem. But to think that two thirds of Palestinians 240 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:55.400 support October seventh, I mean that should be an eye opening reality to people 241 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.839 who want to say that the problem is Israel. Least that should cause, 242 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.759 my goodness, that should cause any normal person, any reasonable person, to 243 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:15.000 just pause and to think, pause, and to think that there is you 244 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.279 know, a lot more, a lot more to the argument that says Israel 245 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.519 is not the bad guy anyway. That's where we are, my friends, 246 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:30.240 with this situation. So the conflict runs deep, the hatred runs deep. 247 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:37.359 Two thirds of Palestinians think that October seventh is justified. So that being said, 248 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:38.599 that's all I'm gonna say about that. Right now. We're going to 249 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.000 take a break. When we get back to from the brick. I want 250 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.720 to shift gears here just a bit. In the meantime, you're gonna sit 251 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:51.960 tight and you're going to enjoy this next couple of minutes as we take our 252 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.119 time out, and I will see you, my friends, on the other 253 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.240 side of the break. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I 254 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:07.880 am your host, the one and only Tod Huff Back in just a minute, 255 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:15.240 my friends. The other thing I wanted to talk with you about today, 256 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.680 There's two other things I want to get to here. One of them 257 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:26.000 is this article I found. This is called the website's culture Sidle culturesitle dot 258 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.000 com. This is in the stack. This is in the stack of stuff. 259 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.640 I think that this is again, as we're thinking about the overall fight 260 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.720 that we're having in this society, this cold civil war, and the multiple 261 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:42.880 fronts that we're fighting this battle on, I think it's important to understand some 262 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.920 of these things. And this is a piece. The headline here is the 263 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:51.319 big skew. How social media breaks the way that we look at the world. 264 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:53.799 I want to talk about this is this is a good piece written by 265 00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:59.759 John Hawkins. Before I do that though. Before I do that, though, 266 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:06.279 let me tell you a little bit about our friends at Harvard Goldgroup dot 267 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.000 com. Friends. Gold is a safe haven asset, but the government and 268 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:18.400 investment firms have touted for a long time now that bonds are the safest investment 269 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:25.519 and a safe haven asset. With the current situation in the bond market, 270 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.839 you wouldn't have made money in a bond in about sixteen years if you count 271 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.519 if you account for inflation, you would have lost significantly. On the other 272 00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:41.480 hand, most people are unaware that physical gold and silver have outperformed both the 273 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.839 S and P and the Dow over the last twenty years. The mainstream media 274 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:52.559 never covers this, but it is probably because banks and investment companies do not 275 00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.839 talk about it. Financial advisors they push bonds as a safe haven balance to 276 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:04.440 people's retirement account instead of physical gold because they only sell paper assets. The 277 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:11.960 deeper reason for this mentality and the way of thinking is that institutions can borrow 278 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:18.279 and leverage against paper assets and not actual hard assets. Therefore, these hard 279 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:23.039 assets are not as financially advantageous to these firms. Hard assets are, however, 280 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:30.720 more advantageous for people for many reasons, including balancing their portfolios and their 281 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:36.400 wealth in general.

So let's take a look here at this at 292 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.519 this piece, because social media does impact the way that we look at the 293 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:32.599 world. You know, it's different, it's different today than it was when 294 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:34.480 I was a kid, back when I was a kid in the nineteen eighties, 295 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:40.000 that's when I grew up. We walked to school uphill both ways in 296 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.359 snow. Remarkable sort of thing. But you know how it is. But 297 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.960 it is different too, right, You know that the world is different. 298 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.519 You know that if you grew up in the eighties or nineties, you know 299 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.079 many of you your experiences were like mine. You were outside a lot, 300 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.960 arguably all the time. Whatever you were doing, I mean, sometimes surviving, 301 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:08.519 sometimes I don't know, playing basketball, maybe swimming, maybe just going 302 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.880 through the neighborhood, riding bikes whatever. I did a lot of those things. 303 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.039 But as Nate Bargtsi said, there was no social media when I was 304 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:23.599 in school. Anything that I was alleged to have done is a rumor. 305 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:30.319 It doesn't exist permanently on the in the digital space. There's not a video, 306 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.200 there's not some documentation. It's just a memory. It's just a story, 307 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.359 and it can be denied at any time. The world is different today, 308 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:42.599 right. That's the reality of how our kids are living today, is 309 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.160 that whether it's social media specifically or just the digital world that we live in, 310 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.799 it impacts the way that they are raised. It impacts the way that 311 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.400 they live their lives. I mean, kids are having cell phones at younger 312 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.079 ages. There's texting, there's all that can come from that. There's social 313 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:06.799 media, there's websites, there's all of these these things, and there's a 314 00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:12.480 digital footprint for this stuff. And on top of that, on top of 315 00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:19.039 that, for those who spend lots of time on social media, it's easy 316 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:26.599 to think that that is reality. And that's kind of what John Hawkins is 317 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:27.839 writing about here. Let me read a bit of this. Although I am 318 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.119 certainly not a big Instagram user, he writes, it occurred to me the 319 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.160 other day that out of the one hundred and seventy three I follow on Instagram, 320 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:41.240 four of them are current or past world record holders in the bench press, 321 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:48.599 squat or deadlift. I listen to podcasts and watch YouTube videos from many 322 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.000 of the same people, along with others who travel in those same circles. 323 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:57.599 For example, here's a podcast I listen to on occasion. It's called Dave 324 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.599 Tate's Table Talk. He's just kind of showing you, you know, his 325 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.200 digital footprint, I guess. So, what do you think in putting all 326 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.599 of this into someone's brain on a regular basis would do to their idea of 327 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.559 what they would consider a physically strong person to be. So if you're just 328 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:21.720 listening to people who are, you know, the strongest of people in the 329 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:26.759 world, it might have an influence on what your definition of strong is. 330 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.640 Now, that's not necessarily all bad. In fact, sometimes sometimes these sorts 331 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.400 of things. You know, iron sharpens iron, and you can help it 332 00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:38.240 can help you excel. But at the same time, at the same token, 333 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.000 we've got this reality that says, you know, if I live in 334 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:49.680 this little bubble, this little microcosm that's that's a bubble, it's not a 335 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:55.880 representation of the real world, then that could make me That could impact the 336 00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:00.079 way I look at my world and myself. And so he's he's calling this 337 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.839 a skew. The skew that social media creates is everywhere. You know, 338 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.480 you could say, think about it as echo chambers. Right. I rail 339 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.960 about this a little bit, you know where. I'm a guy that believes 340 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:18.440 in the old fashioned concept of persuasion. Right now, do I believe everyone 341 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:23.160 is able to be persuaded? No? Do I believe that some people are 342 00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:30.920 absolutely against the truth. One I believe that. But do I believe that 343 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:36.599 there are genuinely confused people out there that have been subjected to all this nonsense 344 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.720 in the world of public schools, in the world of media on social media, 345 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:48.599 where they've been forced had these these morally bankrupt ideas of the radical left 346 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.000 forced upon them. You better believe that. I believe that. And they 347 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:57.480 need to hear truth. They need to hear truth. And so the problem 348 00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:03.720 is, the problem is once you get into those bubbles, you lose all 349 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:10.839 reality, you lose all of the alternative perspective altogether. Now, I'm not 350 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:18.039 saying that if you are you know that you should indulge in all different viewpoints 351 00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.920 of the world. Some of these viewpoints are dangerous and things that we shouldn't 352 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:29.720 be feeding into our minds, but in general to understand things that there's nothing 353 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.359 wrong with trying to understand them either. But there's a danger that comes from 354 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:38.400 living in these proverbial echo chambers. It's it's remarkable sometimes and I go, 355 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:42.000 I do go. I go into some of these places that you know, 356 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:47.680 are are just full of leftists and anti trumpers, and I listen to what 357 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.319 they say, and I think, man, do they not know about this 358 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.920 or that, and sometimes they're talking about things that I'm like, what are 359 00:31:55.960 --> 00:32:05.079 they even talking about because it's distory or it's not the talking point or the 360 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.480 way that they've broken it down is not a reflection of reality or some such 361 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:15.920 thing. These things are. It's dangerous, right, and it can skew 362 00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:22.160 our opinions of things. It's how people get like, I'm not saying that 363 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.240 there's no conspiracy theory in the world. It's true, but they all aren't. 364 00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:31.079 They all aren't true. Some of these things require a remarkable amount of 365 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.279 you know, just rejecting in some cases common sense. Again, that doesn't 366 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.799 mean that they're all false. I'm not saying that none of them have no 367 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.880 basis in reality. I'm just saying that they're not all true. We all 368 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.480 know that some of these are just are not true. But if you live 369 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.279 in the world that that's all that you hear about and consume on social media, 370 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:54.640 it's easy to immediately be taken into that. In fact, I was 371 00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.920 talking with a friend the other day who knows someone that he's told me that 372 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:07.680 that's what's happened to this to a person that he knows. So it's important 373 00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.559 that we recognize this right that we can live. And that's for us too. 374 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:15.559 It's not just for people who have these wacky and crazy ideas and beliefs. 375 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:22.839 It's also for for us as well. So pausing here, I'm looking 376 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.559 at the clock. You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go ahead 377 00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:30.119 and take the break. I'm gonna take the break here. Get a few 378 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.920 more words to say about this time permitting. I don't know if I've got 379 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:40.920 time, but Tom Brady gave a really good acceptance speech into the Patriot Hall 380 00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:45.880 of Fame. And that's on the stack of stuff on the website todt Huffshow 381 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.039 dot com. If you want to see that. I probably won't have time 382 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:52.920 to get to that. Got to take a break here. Wrap up in 383 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.440 the next segment, but timeouts in order. My friends, sit tight. 384 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.079 You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, Todd 385 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:20.320 huff Back in just a minute, Todd Hofshow. Sorry, they're a technical 386 00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:27.599 difficulty. There bumped a button I wasn't supposed to bump. So the article 387 00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:31.280 I was referencing last segments, the piece by John Hawkins. It's a good 388 00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:34.199 read. I'm not gonna be able to get through this whole thing. It's 389 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.719 worth it's worth checking out. It's on the stack of stuff, or if 390 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.159 you want to go straight to the website, it's culture Sidle. There's no 391 00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:45.960 e Culturesidle, one word dot com, so you can check that out. 392 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:50.440 Some closing thoughts on that as we as we wrap up here. But my 393 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:54.760 friends, before we get into the wrap up portion of the program, let 394 00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:01.360 me tell you that I've recently here about a month. I started a weight 395 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:14.480 loss program with PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition and they have helped in a lot 396 00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:20.599 of ways. We're down about ten pounds. They have a weekly one on 397 00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:27.599 one coaching session. They have customized meal plans. During those weekly meetings, 398 00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:34.360 they can tweak your customized plan, provide some education. They they send out 399 00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:39.760 some educational things throughout the week as well. It's a holistic approach. They 400 00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:46.559 help provide some behavioral support. And you know, I got to tell you 401 00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:53.639 there's the plan. You know, some of these diets make you're hungry a 402 00:35:53.679 --> 00:36:00.199 lot. That's not the case with this particular plan. It's really you're really 403 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:07.960 not hungry. They provide food as well. They provide eighty percent of your 404 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:13.239 food at no additional cost. If that's something you should choose to use. 405 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.039 They'll also help you if you don't want to use any of the food. 406 00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:21.039 In fact, ultimately the goal is to get you off of their food. 407 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:25.119 But they have some a variety of products to help you on your journey. 408 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.639 I didn't like all of them, I'll be honest with you, but some 409 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.599 of them are very good. I think I mentioned the protein bars. They've 410 00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.079 got some, they've got some shakes, they've got some other snack products that 411 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:43.880 are pretty good. And so anyway, I wanted to share that with you 412 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.519 if you want to give it a try, if you want to talk with 413 00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:57.960 them about doing that, you can visit their website. Phdweight loss dot com 414 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:02.360 is where you would go for that, And excuse me, my PhD weight 415 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:07.039 loss dot com. My PhD weight loss dot com.

It's something that I'm doing here, and 418 00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:23.880 if you are looking to get healthier and to lose weight, I would encourage 419 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:30.599 you to check them out at least have a conversation my PhD weight loss dot 420 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:37.440 com. So back to this closing closing thoughts here on this this this piece 421 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:45.880 by John Hawkins, and this concept of how social media can really skew the 422 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:49.480 way that we look at the world. I mean, it stands to reason, 423 00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:53.199 right, if we're wherever, wherever we live digitally, if we're living 424 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:59.599 in a world that only has in this case, in the case of politics, 425 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:06.159 radic leftists or people who are vehemently opposed to and hate Trump, then 426 00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.920 it shouldn't be surprising if that's, of course what we become as well, 427 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:14.719 birds of a feather end up of course flocking together, as they say. 428 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:20.360 Likewise, if we're living in a world where we only listen to say pro 429 00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:25.679 Trump things and so forth, sometimes we might be unaware of some of the 430 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:30.800 things that people don't like about him and look just for me, for the 431 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.320 sake of being able to communicate with them, I like to know these things. 432 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:38.800 And so living in those echo chambers can be can be dangerous, it 433 00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:45.280 can it can definitely skew our version, our view of reality. It's why 434 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.039 both sides are so convinced that their side is going to win this election. 435 00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.880 Right, you go into certain anti Trump circles and then some of these folks 436 00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:58.840 are just you know, they think Trump has no chance. Trump's a felon. 437 00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:01.320 Trump's going to spin the rest of his life in prison, probably end 438 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.239 up in the electric chair, not far from that. And then in other 439 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:09.519 circles, you think, you know, people say Trump's going to win in 440 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:14.840 a landslide and all those I think that that's between those two alternatives, that's 441 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:19.800 more likely than the other. But folks, we're talking about slim numbers of 442 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.719 people in key states, right, I mean, this, this could be, 443 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.159 This could still swing, although it makes no sense to me. All 444 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.960 the data seems to suggest that Trump is is walloping Biden. There's no reason 445 00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:37.320 for anyone to support Biden. The only reason people have to support Biden is 446 00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:42.880 because they've been driven into a frenzy to hate and to fear Trump. But 447 00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:46.480 it's not because anything he's done is working. Although I listened to Donnie Deutsch 448 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:52.360 and James Carvill on a short little podcast interview, the two of them, 449 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:59.239 you know, talking back and forth, and Carvill said, Biden, it's 450 00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:04.360 just so crazy to me, But Biden has had the best economy pretty much 451 00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.800 ever. He's the best president for the economy pretty much in American history, 452 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:13.599 well as it pertained too. I think it was Black Americans anyway. Echo 453 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.639 chambers are a dangerous thing. And if you just live in an echo chamber, 454 00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:20.760 if you just live in an echo chamber, it's hard to understand how 455 00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.760 to persuade people on the other side because you don't know what they think. 456 00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:28.800 And I think that's a critically critically important part of the process too, because 457 00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.360 friends, we are in a mess, and if we continue on this trajectory 458 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:37.119 without winning any more hearts and minds to our side of the fight here, 459 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:40.639 we're not going to make up the ground. We need to actually change things. 460 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.400 We're going to have to persuade. We're gonna have to understand what they 461 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.519 think, even if we don't understand it or agree with it. I gotta 462 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.199 go them. Let's have a great day. SDG
