We'll talk about that 9 00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.560 and other things on the program today. Greetings, By the way, my 10 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.159 friends, emails.

So reference off the top a couple of polls, 17 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:53.239 and there's one in particular. Now, polling is something that is well, 18 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.280 we're, first of all, we're very far out from the election in political 19 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.680 terms. We are, I mean we're light years away. We're not even 20 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.000 we're not even close yet. Right, We're going through the process technically of 21 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:13.319 both parties choosing their respective well I say respective, I didn't say respected, 22 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.919 but their respective nominees. So that of course takes some time and some campaigning. 23 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039 But the writing is on the wall. I mean, it is Trump 24 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:31.719 versus Biden, unless unless something crazy were to happen. Pardon me, trying 25 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.000 to get the voicer. You know, every fall I deal with I think 26 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:46.120 some seasonal fall allergies and on occasion a fall situation where the vocal cords are 27 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.960 are hit. And hopefully this is not the beginning of that. As I'm 28 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.800 already struggling here off the top, Oz is looking at me like, hey 29 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:02.000 man, but any amp. So this poll is a poll that's conducted by 30 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.000 McLoughlin and I This is at Newsmax dot com. It is in the stack 31 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:17.919 of stuff today. It says here headline McLoughlin poll Trump beats Biden in electoral 32 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.280 landslide. That's what it says. That's what the poll, and this is 33 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:30.400 a story about the poll. But this poll, which again where early I 34 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.840 get that we don't even know for certain that this is going to be a 35 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:39.520 Trump Biden election re you know, relitigating, I guess, or recampaigning the 36 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:45.319 twenty twenty election. But that's certainly what it looks to be. In fact, 37 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.560 I remember hearing from some some folks who thought Biden would be out by 38 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.960 Labor Day. Labor Day is incidentally Monday, and anything is possible. But 39 00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.439 again, who is their replacement candidates? That's I agree with you in the 40 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.680 sense, in the sense that he should have been out by labor he should 41 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.759 have been out by Labor Day of twenty twenty, he should have never been 42 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:14.680 on the list of candidates. But then again, you look at the next 43 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.279 part of that equation and you say, well, who's the next person? 44 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:23.120 And there's not a clear cut next choice, even for the crazy radicals running 45 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.680 today's Democrat party. But Trump is leading Biden. Are you ready for this? 46 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:38.839 Forty seven to forty three. This is a national poll, So why 47 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.480 does this matter? So a couple of things about polling. Number one. 48 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.560 Number one, polling is just a gauge. It is a tool. We 49 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:53.560 should not put everything in these polls. Polls can be biased, Polls can 50 00:04:53.600 --> 00:05:00.360 be incorrect. Certain groups of people that may cast ballots may not be captured 51 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:11.839 in a represented in any proportional way in a poll. There are all sorts 52 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.519 of assumptions that are made on turnout and that sort of thing. So polling, 53 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.560 but it is a tool. It is a tool that we should at 54 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:27.560 least consider and look at without acting as though it is the gospel truth. 55 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:35.279 The other thing with polling is that polls are not votes. Polls are opinions 56 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:42.040 on how people will vote. Polls are predictive in the sense that if I 57 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.040 say to you on the phone or on a online survey that I'm going to 58 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.600 vote for President Trump or Trump for president in twenty twenty four, then that 59 00:05:51.839 --> 00:06:00.759 of course carries with it the assumption that I will actually carry out those those 60 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.800 plans, and so votes matter, not polling. The other thing is polling 61 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:13.240 in recent years has been incredibly tight. Elections have been incredibly tight. We 62 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.120 often see polls that fall within the margin of error, and so what did 63 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.240 that Basically. What that basically means is that the people who put together the 64 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:29.759 polls say, hey, we recognize that our poll is a tool. It 65 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:35.639 is not the gospel truth. It is rooted in some sort of scientific analysis 66 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.480 as to how we arrive at these numbers, but it will not be precise. 67 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.920 And so there's a margin of error, margin of error plus or minus 68 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.079 whatever. It is two percent, three percent, four percent, five percent. 69 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.399 I mean, depending on the sample size of the poll, and that 70 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:57.920 sort of thing, we can get into numbers that mean the polls could fluctuate 71 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:02.360 significantly. That's called the margin, the margin of error. And so these 72 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.279 are simply tools, and I think by having something called the margin of error, 73 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.279 we should understand that they are not cast in stone. The other thing 74 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.000 is we're far out, as we've already alluded to. So opinions can change, 75 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.600 candidates can change, any number of things can change. Trump can end 76 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:25.560 up in prison. I'm not predicting it, but it's certainly I put nothing 77 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.040 past these clowns, my friends, these tyrants, these totalitarians, these folks 78 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:35.439 who are completely comfortable and willing to use and weaponize the government against her own 79 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.360 people. That's what we've got today. So nothing is off the table as 80 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:45.040 it pertains to Trump this election and so forth. But all of that said, 81 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.519 all of that said, and even considering just how close these elections have 82 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.199 been, right, I mean, this is we're at the point at that 83 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.560 point in time where we have very very close elections, especially now. You 84 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.199 might have some states vote really strongly Republican or Democrat. But when when you 85 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:15.800 do the math and when the vote talies come in for you across that country 86 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.000 that could be really red or really blue or anything in between, when it 87 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.879 averages out, I mean, it gets, it gets close nationally, and 88 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.040 that's why we're close. In the House of Representative Republicans have the majority, 89 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.960 but just a slim majority. That's why we're close. In the Senate, 90 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.200 Democrats have a majority, but just a slim majority. In fact, the 91 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.200 last Senate was fifty fifty, with Kamala Harris casting the tie breaking vote, 92 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.360 giving Democrats control of the Senate. Even though it was technically fifty fifty evenly 93 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.039 split, the winner of the executive branch the White House actually determined who was 94 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.480 in control of the Senate because the Vice president is president. Of a sentence, 95 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.480 it turns out Sarah Palin was right when she was mocked and ridiculed back 96 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.120 in two thousand and was at two thousand and eight. I guess when she 97 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.440 talked about one of the roles of the vice president, she was mocked relentlessly 98 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:18.200 for something that is actually true that is very relevant in today's political discourse and 99 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.559 political realities. But having Trump up by Biden forty seven forty three, in 100 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.120 fact, his lead in this poll has increased by two points in the past 101 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:37.639 thirty days, the past month alone. And so when you realize realize that 102 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.000 Trump won in twenty sixteen without having won the popular vote, he still won 103 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.440 the election. And when you dig deeper into this poll and you find that 104 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.200 Trump is leading in key battleground states, listen to this. He's leading in 105 00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:01.120 key battleground states forty nine to forty one. Now that means what that means, 106 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.600 And the analysis is that if this holds true, and if the election 107 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.159 were to be held today, which is not the Trump's not the nominee and 108 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.679 heck Biden's officially not his party's nominee either, even though he is sitting the 109 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.960 incumbent sitting in the White House today, the math of this would mean that 110 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.840 Trump would win not just not just a nail bider, not just in a 111 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.639 you know, sort of an election where it comes down to one or two 112 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.840 states and so forth, and it's tightly contested within that state, say Georgia 113 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.080 or Arizona. But this poll, again, I'm going from what this pole 114 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.759 is saying. I'm not saying that won't be what happens on election day, 115 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.919 because we're still a ways out and all that, but this would mean Trump 116 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.799 would win in an electoral landslide, a landslide. If he's up forty nine 117 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.559 forty one in key battleground states, that means he's going to win all the 118 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.360 toss up states. If you look at his national lead, and if you, 119 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.159 of course you gotta dig deeper. But if you realize that Trump would 120 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:20.320 win if this again holds true the popular vote, especially after having him win 121 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.559 the presidency and losing the popular vote a vote in twenty sixteen, it becomes 122 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.320 clear, becomes clear that he could win this in massive, massive fashion. 123 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.799 So I'm going to tell you that the left knows this, The media knows 124 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.440 this. You know, they have internal polling, They have internal polling that 125 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.720 they do constantly on their own. There's one of the part of this poll. 126 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.039 I want to I want to mention here and again I'm looking at this 127 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.080 article at newsmax dot com. It is in today's Stack of Stuff, August 128 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:56.240 thirty of August. By the way, absolutely crazy to think that we're moving 129 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.600 into the fall months. And yes, I don't want to talk about what 130 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.399 comes after that with winter. This article points out even more remarkable, even 131 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.679 more remarkable than Trump leading Biden seven forty three. With our voter model for 132 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:18.519 this poll, we assigned four more points of Biden twenty twenty voters than Trump 133 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.240 twenty twenty voters. So, in other words, the poll, again, 134 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.919 this is their methodology. This is the part that could be could be very 135 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.840 much wrong. This is the part where they're trying to manute well, depending 136 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.600 on the polls, So they're either trying to manipulate the data or understand who 137 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:45.000 is actually going to be voting and way the the poll in such a way 138 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.720 that it reflects what they think actual turnout will be, because that's obviously an 139 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.000 important part of this equation. But they said that they assigned four more points 140 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.039 of Biden twenty twenty voters than Trump twenty twenty voters. In other words, 141 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:05.320 the a number of people who've voted for Biden in twenty twenty. They assigned 142 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.320 four more points of those in this poll, and Trump is still up four. 143 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:16.519 Meaning if Trump drives trump twenty twenty voters to the polls better than Biden 144 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.960 does, this could be an even larger margin of victory, a massive electoral 145 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.320 landslide. And I say this all today again, I don't like talking about 146 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.159 polls. And it's one poll. There's others out there too. For example, 147 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:37.679 Emerson. An Emerson poll has Trump taking the lead for the first time. 148 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:45.840 I believe in the twenty twenty four election polling, Trump actually leads Biden 149 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:52.559 in a head to head matchup forty six to forty four in that poll. 150 00:13:52.600 --> 00:14:01.159 That's a plus a plus two. And so that is the point. Is 151 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:09.600 is that this explains in case, in case, someone still doesn't want to 152 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:16.840 see this political prosecution of Trump for what it is. This explains why, 153 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.039 this explains why we know this now. And of course it's a subject to 154 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:28.440 change all those things that I said. But the people making political decisions within 155 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.720 the Democrat Party, the radical left, who is completely paranoid that Trump is 156 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.200 going to win, terrified that Trump is going to win, the people that 157 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.559 are in the deep state, that are in the bureaucratic state, in the 158 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.799 belly of the beast, who are making decisions for that beast to operate. 159 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.639 They're terrified, especially now with Trump. I saw Trumps made the comment that 160 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:58.039 he's going to lock up the people that need to be locked up this time 161 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:05.559 around. That's that's a whole nother discussion, a whole another discussion that will 162 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:13.720 get to here in due course. But it this just illustrates how desperate. 163 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.440 That's what I think the message should be. Because there's two ways of looking 164 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.159 at this. Right there's one to think, my goodness, our republic is 165 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.960 hanging by a thread, or if a leftist is tuned in here today, 166 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.879 our democracy is hanging by a threat. Oh my goodness, it really is 167 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.480 about to collapse. But there's another way, another way of looking at this, 168 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:39.039 And I think the healthier way of looking at this is that people have 169 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.360 seen through enough, people have seen through the junk enough, people have realized 170 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.480 that things were infinitely better under Trump than they are under Biden. The ideas 171 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.480 and the nonsense that is being pushed by the radical left is harming this country, 172 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.320 is harming our children, harming our grandchildren in schools. It is giving 173 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.679 them much smaller prospect at a successful future than they would have had under a 174 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:11.399 free society, not a radically insane and deranged society that pushes moral depravity and 175 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.559 lies about well the American way of life, the American system, and so 176 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.919 forth. We would be much better off with Trump or even in another on 177 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.519 that stage, that debate stage, leading this nation than Biden. People have 178 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.399 realized, they felt it in their pocket books for what two and a half 179 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:40.240 years, I guess now it seems like fifty years. But people are awakened 180 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:45.240 to this. People are onto the strategy. The jig is up in a 181 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:52.279 large sense, in a large sense for these radical leftists and the Democrat Party 182 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:59.159 and the media and the deceitful rush caught at the four corners of deceit, 183 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:06.279 and so all these forces working against us are people see through them. And 184 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.480 that should be encouraging to everyone, everyone who cares about this great this great 185 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.119 nation. So that being said, timeouts in order a little bit long this 186 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.400 segment. But we have a lot to have hope in now. We still 187 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.960 have to endure the next couple of eighteen months or whatever it is. Sixteen 188 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.279 months, we also have to get through the Trump indictments and all this, 189 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.079 and there's gonna be one heck of a fight on the other side of that 190 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.839 as well. There should be, and we should buckle up for that, 191 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.640 because just simply winning an election is not where this stops. That is just 192 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.079 the beginning, as I've shared before. But I gotta take a time out 193 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.440 here long in this segment, my friends, you're listening to conservative, not 194 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.200 better talk. I am your host to Huff Todd Huff. Sorry, the 195 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.960 voice is not acting properly today. I'm gonna hydrate here during the break and 196 00:17:52.960 --> 00:18:03.839 hopefully get it back to normal, back into a nut. I go back, 197 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.799 my friends on the well in the last segment I mentioned and yes, 198 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.839 I did take a drink there, and I think I'm feeling a little bit 199 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.279 like my vocals are a little bit better than they had been, so sorry 200 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:22.720 about that a couple of times last segment. But the I mentioned last segment 201 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:29.279 that Trump had made a comment I want to talk about this. I saw 202 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:37.400 that he was speaking with Glenn Beck, and Glenn asked him, I'm just 203 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:45.000 gonna read this transcript. He said, you said, talking to President Trump 204 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.960 and President Trump, you said in twenty sixteen, you know, lock her 205 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.759 up. And then when you became president, you said, we don't do 206 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.839 that in America. That's not or that's just not the right thing to do. 207 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.480 That's what they're doing. Do you regret not lock her up? And 208 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.960 if you're president again, will you lock people up? So that's the question 209 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.400 there. Trump responded, he I'm not going to keep up the sound bite 210 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.799 here, but he says, I'll give you an example. The answer is, 211 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.640 you have no choice because they're doing it to us. I always had 212 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:25.640 such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency, but the 213 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.400 office of the president. I get him reading Trump's response here, and I 214 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.680 never hit Biden as hard as I could have. And then I heard he 215 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.039 was trying to indict me, and it was him that was doing it. 216 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:47.279 So this is, of course, context matters. Context matters tremendously in a 217 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.480 general sense, as a rule of thumb, as something we should all adhere 218 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:56.400 to. We should not absolutely, unequivocally, in no circumstances, be engaged 219 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:03.119 in going after our political adversaries, right, I mean we should agree on 220 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.279 that in theory. Now, let me fill in the rest of the context. 221 00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.440 If the rest of the context. This is where this is where it 222 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:21.319 gets a little bit dicier. Let's say, for example, one particular group 223 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:27.079 of political one group of political adversaries. I guess let's say there's two groups 224 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.839 of politicians and I'm not even gonna name them. I'm just gonna paint the 225 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.240 picture. You can assign, you know, the brands and the party names. 226 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.920 However you want to do that, that's up to you as the as 227 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:47.200 the listener. But let's say both parties have an agreement it's whether spoken or 228 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:52.519 unspoken, that we're not going to put you in jail for being part of 229 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.680 our political opposition. Okay, that sounds great. We shouldn't we should not 230 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.039 have that. Well, let's say one side starts using that knowledge, using 231 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:08.160 that agreement against the other. Let's say that they then because the idea is, 232 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:15.680 what's the basic idea. The basic idea of not wanting to target your 233 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.640 political adversaries is that you want to be able to have free, robust political 234 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:26.279 discourse and debate. You don't want people to be held accountable because of something 235 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.480 they did or said that was political to make an argument for their position, 236 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:37.559 to define what their priorities were, should they be elected. We don't want 237 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:45.240 those things to cause someone to face political prosecution or persecution or both. And 238 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:49.359 so that's a very very good standard. People should be able to make the 239 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.880 arguments they want to make and let the voter decide. And if you oppose 240 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.119 the people who end up winning, you should not be in prison because you 241 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.119 stand against them as a threat in the next election, or because you're out 242 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:08.240 there, even under their leadership, and when they're in the power political power, 243 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:12.160 if you want to be out there criticizing them, you should be free 244 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:17.119 to do that. We do that here, never personal, by the way, 245 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.200 So but they ought to be able to say it even if it's is 246 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.799 this is going to rattle the cages of people who are out there trusting the 247 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.160 fact checkers. But even if it's not true, even if it's not true, 248 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.920 that the response to that's a lie should be to disprove the claim, 249 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:44.519 versus silencing or at wars, trying to imprison or politically prosecute your political opponents. 250 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.920 I think we should all be able to agree on that if we take 251 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.440 a deep breath, if we think about it objectively. Yes, I know 252 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:56.000 that we've been burned by this because of what's happened. So, but the 253 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.960 other part of the equation is if the others, if one or both groups 254 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:06.039 are using that knowledge against the other side, and they know that they can 255 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:12.359 get away with any number of things that I would argue having that agreement, 256 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:18.359 having that understanding that we're not going to go after our political adversaries for politically 257 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:25.319 disagreeing with us. You can't simultaneously have that agreement while at the same time 258 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:33.200 watching people weaponize the government using their position of political power to target your to 259 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:41.640 target their political opposition for well trumped up charges, made up charges. And 260 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:48.559 so this becomes very sticky because the principle is true. You do not want 261 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.920 to have a culture, a society, a political system that makes it a 262 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.000 habit to go after political adversaries. But what do you do if one group 263 00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.640 is doing it? What do you do? That's to Trump's point here He 264 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.519 says, I'm being forced to do this because they're coming. They're coming after 265 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:10.759 me, and now when I'm when I'm elected, if I'm re elected, 266 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.079 he would say, when I'm going to go after them, and then they're 267 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.680 gonna come to me and say, well, you can't go after your political 268 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.079 adversaries, to which he's going to say, well, that's what's been happening 269 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.640 all of these years, and is it not justified? Now, if you're 270 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.839 the ones that are actually causing this, should you not be held accountable for 271 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:37.000 doing that? Doesn't context matter? Even on these very important principles. We 272 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:44.279 can't just state a position and a principle with no context and say that it 273 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.440 applies universally. I mean, what if they were taking it to I mean, 274 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.920 they are trying to deprive him of of his freedoms, my friend. 275 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.000 They're trying to deprive him of his freedoms. And if you look at what 276 00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.240 else they've done, this is not the first attempt at this. This is 277 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:06.119 going on virtually ad infinitum. It's going to go on ad infinitum. It's 278 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.920 not going to have an end unless he ends it, unless the voters end 279 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:15.000 it. And then the question is what do we do? And the purest 280 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.880 of me says, I don't want to go after people. But if they 281 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.839 are manipulating, and if they are doing these things that we're trying to prevent 282 00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:27.480 to begin with, at what point should accountability kick in? At what point 283 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:34.599 should we say that they are literally breaking laws, abusing power and the Founders 284 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:41.559 would have been infuriated by this. The Founders fought this very sort of thing 285 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.000 when they fought the King of England, right when when we fought for our 286 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.640 independence. And if you read the Declaration of Independence, it's a list of 287 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:56.839 grievances, a list of things and attempts, things that had been done to 288 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:03.920 them by They were being abused by their tyrant king, and they tried to 289 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.440 find any other solution, and when forced when none of those other remedies worked, 290 00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:14.559 they were forced to say, we're no longer part of your kingdom and 291 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:19.759 we will fight to the death to separate. And you know, you just 292 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:27.160 wonder how much of this can go on within our government before it's justifiable to 293 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.400 say you must be held accountable. This cannot be allowed to happen, right, 294 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:37.960 And so it's a very precarious situation because of where it can lead what 295 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.960 we do not want a system to be. But also if someone is willing 296 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:47.759 to throw those principles out and abuse power and act like a tyrant, not 297 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.920 having any concern for truth, only about politics and power and manipulating the American 298 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.240 people, should they not, my friends be held accountable? Timeouts in order 299 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.559 my friends you're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, 300 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:10.839 Todd Huff Back in just a minute. Come back, my friends. 301 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.960 By the way, there's this conversation here reminds me of a conversation I had. 302 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.079 We're gonna be We're gonna be on a show called Life Today with Randy 303 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:27.000 Robeson. We're going to that He and I had a conversation thirty minutes or 304 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:33.839 so. It's gonna air on I believe Friday, and we'll share that stuff 305 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.880 with you. You might not see it from us until the beginning of next 306 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:42.279 week, but that that conversation just came to mind as I was talking about 307 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.400 some things. And by the way, the reason we're doing we're gonna start 308 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:55.119 doing more these these interviews and so forth is because as we're growing here and 309 00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.640 we've joined I can tell you now we've joined a radio network called Audio One. 310 00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:07.400 We've joined in that radio network called Audio One, and we're expanding into 311 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.559 to some new markets. I'm very, very excited look forward to working with 312 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.680 Chip Miller and his team over there. But there's some changes for us, 313 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.559 and there's a lot of changes which means, you know, we'll be able 314 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.400 to have these opportunities to do more of these sorts of things interviews speaking, 315 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:27.319 we've got the column now, which, by the way, the column went 316 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.519 out yesterday. You can sign up for free for that column at todtufshow dot 317 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.799 com. But one of the other reasons that we're able to do that is 318 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:41.920 because of a group called Sales Arbiter. Sales Arbiter, that's my dear friend 319 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:49.000 Crispin there at Sales Arbiter. He is working to build our sales team, 320 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.480 which is a big part of running a business like this is creating a team 321 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.440 to bring in advertising sales so that you can move on to you know, 322 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.240 more comen and that sort of thing. This is the sort of stuff that 323 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.920 I did a lot of myself in the early days and even not too long 324 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:14.359 long ago into the past. But Crispin has helped build our team. And 325 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.680 again his company is Sales Arbiter. If you are a business owner, if 326 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:25.160 you are someone who has some influence within the company that you work with, 327 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:29.200 if you're looking to improve your sales team, grow your sales team, look 328 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:33.319 for someone that's a good coach and teacher, someone who has a great system. 329 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.720 I encourage you to check out Crispin and his team at Sales Arbiter. 330 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:44.319 Seals arbiter dot com is the website s A L E. S Arbiter is 331 00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.039 a arb I t R Sales arbitter dot com. But as I was thinking 332 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:55.480 about this interview with Randy Robison, when we were discussing some things, he 333 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.640 posed a question to me near the end of the interview and he said something 334 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:04.920 about voting for Trump because of vengeance. And that's that's not how I view 335 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.519 this. And to go back to what we were talking about last segment, 336 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.920 you know, we I don't believe I would say to you. I'm I 337 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.079 told I was during the break. I'm one hundred percent against the concept of 338 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:22.119 voting against something just because of vengeance to get back to get even I just 339 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:27.240 I don't, Well, it's not a biblical concept. Vengeance is mind declares 340 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.960 the Lord. We should It doesn't mean that we don't hold people accountable. 341 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:36.640 It doesn't mean that we're not seeking justice. We should do those things right. 342 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.480 I mean, do justice, love mercy while humbly with our God. 343 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:48.079 That's a biblical verse as well, and so it's the motivation and we shouldn't 344 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.200 be just trying to get back at people, because that that pendulum is gonna 345 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.960 swing back and forth as people assume positions of power, and it's gonna swing 346 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.200 further and further. It's gonna swing. You know, one side is gonna 347 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.319 get x amount of vengeance, and then when the other side gains authority, 348 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.720 they're gonna gain They're gonna seek two x type of vengeance, and it's gonna 349 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:18.119 keep swinging wildly and wildly out of control. It can't be allowed to happen. 350 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.359 We can't build a society on that. But but if we are seeking 351 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.359 justice and we are trying to save this system, we cannot have people. 352 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:34.920 We cannot have people in positions of power who are wielding that power against not 353 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:42.079 just presidential candidates, but against individual American citizens. Our founders would be appalled 354 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:48.000 at this behavior, absolutely appalled. And so it's not about vengeance, it's 355 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:53.880 about justice. It's not about getting even, it's about doing right. And 356 00:31:53.960 --> 00:32:01.640 I think that's an important thing to articulate and to say pause, because it's 357 00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:07.680 not just about getting even, it's about again, context is king. We 358 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:14.000 have to be able to make the case as to why someone should potentially or 359 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:21.960 should not potentially seek to take action against people who were on the other side 360 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.480 of the political aisle. You should never do that because they disagree or even 361 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:35.519 have boisterous, even very intense speech against your ideas, our policies, that 362 00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.400 sort of stuff that should be allowed. We gotta put on our big boy 363 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.519 and big girl pants for that. That's part of it. Getting behind this 364 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.119 microphone every day, I've got to do that. I gotta put on my 365 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:49.559 big boy pants. Riches, I'd say. I think I said on my 366 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.160 birthday. My dad's nickname as a young man was Briches. Gotta put on 367 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:58.279 our big boy britches, right, And so this is part of it. 368 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:04.240 But is Trump wrong here for saying if he's reelected, he's going to go 369 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:09.000 back after these people that have abused the system. Is that not? Is 370 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:13.319 that the same thing that's being done to him and we're just getting even or 371 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:16.400 is it different? I would maintain that it is different. I think you 372 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.559 have to be incredibly careful on how you do this. But you cannot have 373 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.440 people. You cannot have people who say when you're For example, I was 374 00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:30.400 also asked yesterday in this interview about you know Trump and and you know, 375 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:36.319 voting for him, and you know basically the standard that Trump has to has 376 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:38.759 to live up to his perfection. I told Oz this, you know, 377 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:45.920 aren't we can't be expected Conservatives cannot be expected to say, your candidate has 378 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.359 to be basically Jesus in the flesh, and then their candidate can be a 379 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:55.480 guy that can sell himself and his family, you know, to get paid, 380 00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.680 I should say, in return for potentially political favor and so forth. 381 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.480 How is that? How is that a possible thing? If you read Ashley 382 00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:07.320 Biden's journal, or at least parts of the pages, I mean, should 383 00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:12.519 we allow that stuff to go in there? Why? Why is Trump for 384 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:16.280 comments that he made to Access Hollywood or whoever, which is terrible. At 385 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.880 the time, I came out and I said, that's not acceptable to me, 386 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:25.360 the comments that he gave to was it Billy Bush or whatever the recording. 387 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.199 That doesn't mean because I vote for him as president, I'm endorsing that. 388 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:35.719 It doesn't You know, he's been married a few times, right, 389 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:40.360 A couple of couple of times he's been he's been married. It doesn't mean 390 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.480 that you condone that. I mean, these are things that are in someone's 391 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.079 past. But why does Trump have to live up to the example perfectly? 392 00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:55.159 If Jesus himself and the Left doesn't have to be anywhere within a country mile 393 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.320 of that. Now we're not allowed to ask about it, We're not allowed 394 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.159 to dig up on it, We're not allowed to poke around and say, 395 00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:05.320 hey, what about this and that. I mean, look at the mess 396 00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:10.360 that has just what we've seen in the past six eight months now since Republicans 397 00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:16.760 have assumed power here in Congress, the amount of corruption and just depravity that 398 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:22.599 have come from things like the Hunter Biden investigation, which is not just about 399 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.800 Hunter, it goes into the dealings that he had with his father, the 400 00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:30.800 big guy, the amounts of money that changed hands. Are we just supposed 401 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.280 to turn a blind eye to that? And by the way, which candidate 402 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:39.960 is out there supporting a worldview, supporting policies that are antithetical to goodness and 403 00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:46.239 truth and wholesome living. Who's out there peddling the life's the lie that if 404 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:52.519 you're biologically a man, you can become a female. Who's peddling that nonsense. 405 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:58.679 Who's out there peddling the lies that being pro choice simply means a woman 406 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.920 is doing what she wants with her body, yet denying the reality that she 407 00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:08.840 is killing an unborn child. Why are I mean these things have incredible consequence. 408 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:15.800 Incredible consequence. I think sometimes we allow the media, the radical left 409 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.079 to use our convictions against us, right, I do think that it doesn't 410 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:27.039 mean that we shouldn't live up to those standards, but we also shouldn't say 411 00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:30.079 one party's candidate can do whatever they want, as much as they want with 412 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:37.360 no consequence, and our candidate has to be as clean and pure as the 413 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:42.559 wind driven. So right, there's actually versus I feel like we have a 414 00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.920 spec and our eye. They have a two by four, right, and 415 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:53.960 it's it's just we're supposed to ignore. We're supposed to ignore some of these 416 00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.440 these things, and it just it doesn't make sense. I know that the 417 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.800 parable is, you know, the two by four out of your eye before 418 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.159 you worry about the spec and dust and the others. But what happens if 419 00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:09.760 the spec of dust is on our side and the two by four is on 420 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:15.199 the other side, which just seems to be what they want us to You 421 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.280 know, we have to have context and perspective. That's really what I'm getting 422 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:21.119 at long in this segment, to my friends, sit tight back here in 423 00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:34.920 just a minute.
