WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.559 Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.759 not bitter talk radio. The advised that the content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.519 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:33.320 to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.679 All right, my friends, here we go back at it here on this 6 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.960 busy Monday emails. Should you want to be part of the conversation Todd at 7 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.119 toddhofshow dot com. You can also text three one seven two one zero twenty 8 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:58.240 eight thirty. Yes, the voice is on a wild ride. I thought 9 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.159 I was better. It's arguably harder for me to talk right now than it 10 00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.200 was last week. It could have been could have had something to do with 11 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.719 this weekend. I will tell you since I shared a little bit about this 12 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.719 last I think it was last week. I kind of filled you in as 13 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.640 to why my voice was struggling last Monday, which was because we had a 14 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.760 basketball game and I was yelling, not not mad, but yelling at the 15 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.560 at the team, and we had games. We actually had three games over 16 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:37.439 the weekend, so I am probably three times worse. I guess I don't 17 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.079 know how to say it. The girls actually won the championship. Of course, 18 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.400 it was one hundred percent due to coaching. The girls did a great 19 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.200 job in all seriousness. So anyway, that's the voice is hopefully going to 20 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.799 hang in there with us this week. But again, anything can happen, 21 00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.760 as we found out in prior times with this voice situation. But let's let's 22 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.239 get after it. Hit or day. You know, as I was thinking 23 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:12.560 about how to frame what I want to talk about today, when I thought 24 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:20.000 about just how I wanted to set it up, I guess, you know, 25 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.759 we don't do themes on here, but as I think, I try 26 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.120 to, you know, figure out what's going on. And there's times, 27 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.560 by the way I shut down, I shut down. I don't you know. 28 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.120 When this program concludes on Friday, I pretty much turn it off. 29 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.560 I mean, this is what I do every day, right, and I 30 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.520 love it, don't get me wrong, but sometimes you just need a mental 31 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.560 break unless something, of course major happens and I'll look into it. Someone 32 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:55.120 will indefinitely tell me usually OZ. But anyway, the as I was preparing 33 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.719 and as I read the news and was just thinking and looking at what was 34 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.560 going on, and I see Trump now is up in the Wall Street Journal 35 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.960 poll, which is the first time. Again we're still a ways out. 36 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.520 I don't want to put too much into these polls, but just when you 37 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.080 look at a series of things that are happening, and one of the things 38 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.680 that are that's happening is what we're going to talk about today. And there's 39 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.080 a couple of things I want to get to, time permitting, of course, 40 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.039 But as we as we look at it and I try to take a 41 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.039 step back, especially on a Monday, you know how, I don't know, 42 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.360 I just come off of that break, kind of take a deep breath. 43 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.159 We're heading into the holidays. Christmas is what two weeks from today, 44 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.159 so you know, you take a step back and you look at the scheme, 45 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.560 the grand scheme of how things are going, and I have what I 46 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.719 think is good news for you. You know. Let me before I say 47 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.000 that. Before I say that, let me say this. There are four 48 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.319 stages when you start something new. And this is relevant to the point I 49 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:02.680 want to make here. When there are four stages that happened when you say 50 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.639 you start a new job, or you take up a new hobby or whatever, 51 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.280 just something new. The first phase is, and this is how I 52 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.680 say it. There's actually other people that say it. They have kind of 53 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.040 names for the categories, but I kind of describe the category. And the 54 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.839 first phase is you don't know what you don't know, right, So you 55 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.519 start something. It may seem like, oh, this should be easy, 56 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.920 and you don't realize really what you've gotten yourself into. Whatever it is, 57 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.480 a new job, a new hobby. Typically this is the case, and 58 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.879 it's something that looks it looks interesting, it looks fun. Maybe you've messed 59 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.720 around with it in the past, and you say, hey, I'm going 60 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.920 to do this, whether as a as a job, whether I'm going to 61 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.079 volunteer at my church or whatever. Right, I'm going to take a bigger 62 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:59.199 step to really embrace this and to kind of sink my roots here and really 63 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.319 become good at this and do this as a hobby. Well, then you 64 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:12.160 quickly realize there's always more to it than you first kind of suspected. And 65 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:17.120 then there's that terrifying phase, which is you know what you don't know, 66 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.759 and it's a bit of an overwhelming situation because you think, oh my goodness, 67 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.360 I started this, what did I bite off? I don't understand. 68 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.199 You know, you're just starting to kind of get your feet wet in different 69 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.319 parts of the hobby or the job, and you realize, oh, my 70 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.160 goodness, I don't know much about that. I didn't know it entailed that 71 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.639 there's math involved. What's going on. One of my daughters she crochetes. 72 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.920 She crochetes animals. She's twelve. She's twelve, And I'll tell you I 73 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.399 wasn't her oz. What's the name of the she's on Instagram? What is 74 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:59.160 it? Yarn Buddies by Evie? Right, Yarn Buddies by Evie. And 75 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.480 she's gotten I'm telling I know she's my daughter. I'm biased, but I 76 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.560 mean she's gotten very, very good at this and no time at all. 77 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:11.439 But it was kind of like that with her, And as she was doing 78 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.319 the crocheg I don't think she knew that there was math involved. She shared 79 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.560 this with me a couple of times. Dad, there's math involved. I 80 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.839 gotta do math to figure out how many stitches. And I don't even understand 81 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.519 what she's telling me, but I know that she's learning, and she didn't 82 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.480 know that it involved that. So there's that phase when you first realize I've 83 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:36.319 there's a lot to this right, and gradually you become more adept, you 84 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:45.439 become more capable of doing the job. And you slowly but kind of methodically, 85 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.120 if you keep working at it, if you have a talent for it 86 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.319 and knack forward, if you just have a work ethic, if you're focused 87 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:59.639 or whatever, you just keep chipping away and you eventually become you become competent, 88 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.240 and you then reach the phase that you don't know what you've learned. 89 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.879 You don't know what you currently know. It's like in your mind, you're 90 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.399 still in that phase where it seems so overwhelming, but you've gotten better at 91 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.240 it, and you just haven't completely realized that yet. Now you're still not 92 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:24.319 a master of the skill, but you've gotten a lot better. What's what's 93 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:29.000 the I've heard people say if you do just I forget how many minutes a 94 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.160 day. It's not many, it's like fifteen minutes a day. Say, 95 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.920 if you do something for fifteen minutes a day in the course of X amount 96 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.319 of time, X number of months or maybe it's a year. I don't 97 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.519 even think it's that long. You become you're going to become like in the 98 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.399 top I forget a few percent five to ten percent of people doing that in 99 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:55.120 the world, just because you've invested the time and the energy. But sometimes 100 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.079 it doesn't feel like that right, So sometimes we don't know that we become 101 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.079 competent, that we've kind of gotten good at it, and then finally we 102 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.160 all reach that phase if we stick with it long enough, if it's a 103 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.439 good fit, if we love what we do, if we keep plugging away, 104 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:18.879 we finally get to that point where we are competent and we know it. 105 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.600 And what's interesting and I find fascinating is that when you get back to 106 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.319 that level, when you've mastered something, it is so interesting to me at 107 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.399 least, this is how it works in my head. Things become as easy 108 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:37.600 as you thought it was at the beginning, except instead of just being naive 109 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.879 and thinking that it's just that you've understood it well enough to be able to 110 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.399 break it down into its most simple components, into its simplest pieces and steps 111 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.600 and components. Now you can teach it. Now, you can explain it. 112 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.919 Now you can help people troubleshoot who's trying to learn what you've learned. 113 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:05.159 You can become I'm kind of a master at it. And so it's with 114 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.559 that in mind. It's with that in mind that sometimes I take a step 115 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.279 back, right, I take a step back, and having done this for 116 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:20.039 eight years, and having followed politics for g whiz probably thirty thirty years roughly 117 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.200 to some degree, I always had an interest. Again I've mentioned before, 118 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.360 even as a kid watching watching Reagan, but I mean really had an interest 119 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.559 in politics and discussing these cultural and political issues in worldview and all that sort 120 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:39.120 of stuff. Faith having a really sincere interest in this for the past thirty 121 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.000 years or so. And I can take that step back, and I can 122 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.080 say there's something I've observed that I want to share with you, and I'm 123 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.600 going to tell you something. It's going to be interesting. Some of you 124 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.440 may resist this, some of you may already think the same thing. Some 125 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.960 of you may realize with a little bit of discussion, this is really where 126 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.159 we are. But I'm going to tell you this, and I believe that 127 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.279 this is accurate. Now, there's there's layers to this, and we got 128 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.159 to unpack them. And I want to get to this. I want to 129 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.639 get to the SoundBite. I actually want to get as the example or the 130 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.360 story that's kind of I think teaching us this that I want to talk about 131 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:30.600 today is what's happening with these university presidents who acted like anti Semitism calling for 132 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.759 the genocide of Jewish students was no big deal, didn't put anybody at risk 133 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.279 at their campus, on their campuses, which is preposterous and acidine. But 134 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.399 nonetheless, nonetheless I want to talk about that because I'm telling you my friends, 135 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.759 and I even hesitate to say this because it is it is just something 136 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.879 I've observed. It's you know, I just mentioned that we are team the 137 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.159 girls. They won the championship this week. In so envision this what I'm 138 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.679 about to tell you. Like, we're in the first quarter of a game. 139 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.919 You know, anything can happen in the next quarters. We might be 140 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.000 ahead, we might be behind. In fact, I think we got behind 141 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.480 in the championship game six to zero. It was a shootout. I think 142 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.399 we won nineteen to fourteen, but we got down. I think we were 143 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.279 down six to zero. But the point is we're at the beginning of this 144 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.480 game, and I just want to keep it in mind. I'm not saying 145 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:31.639 that this this could change today. This could be one hundred percent different, 146 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.879 one one hundred and eighty degrees flipped from what it is right now. But 147 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:48.919 I'm telling you, my friends, we are winning. We are winning. 148 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.679 I mentioned a few months ago, or maybe I think it was a month 149 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.279 and a half, two months ago, in one of my columns, I 150 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:03.480 made the observation that we have won, we have won the argument on illegal 151 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.240 immigration. In fact, there's stories in the stack of stuff. Today. 152 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.759 Governor Eric Adams, excuse me, Mayor Eric Adams from the city of New 153 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.639 York headed to DC over the weekend or whatever, came back to his city 154 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.200 and he told them, he told his he had a press conference or he 155 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:30.600 made an announcement where he said, nobody is going to fix this problem. 156 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.440 No one's coming to help us from the federal government as it pertains to how 157 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:41.240 illegal immigration is really bankrupting our city. He made that announcement. This is 158 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.840 from a sanctuary city, my friends. We have sanctuary cities and states who 159 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:56.600 have suddenly realized just how much of a burden an open border is to this 160 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.279 nation, to cities. Now, they still don't say it quite the right 161 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.240 way. They still have some hurdles they got to get passed. They're never 162 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:11.399 gonna they're always gonna try to demonize Republicans about immigration and all this. But 163 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.879 my friends, we've won the we've won the argument. Now there's a whole 164 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.720 other thing that has to happen. We've got to win the political fight, 165 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.840 which is a whole, like I said, a whole other thing. So 166 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:33.120 that is that is where we find ourselves. And we found ourselves in this 167 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:41.039 predicament again. And we found ourselves specifically in the predicament of having a victory, 168 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:50.399 having a cultural victory here because this university president, a couple of them, 169 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.039 three of them went Mit Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, you pinned. 170 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.480 They went and testified before Congress will play a little bit of this after the 171 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.120 break. I know it's time to take that break. But they went and 172 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.440 testified last week, I think a week ago tomorrow. I think it was 173 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:15.159 last Tuesday. It was last week sometime. They testified. Representative at least 174 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:24.679 Stephonic asked them questions about whether or not calls for genocide violated universities, the 175 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.960 university's policies, and none of these folks would say that it did. They 176 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.399 all acted like it was some sort of a you know, like a what 177 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:41.600 am I trying to hypothetical hypothetical sort of question, some sort of imaginative question. 178 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.519 She's saying, Look, you're having people literally threatened to say they want 179 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.960 to wipe out all Jewish people from the face of the planet, unlive them, 180 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.360 as we have to say for social media purposes now. But you want 181 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.639 to unlive them, and you act as though that's not a threat or a 182 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:05.039 danger to students on campus. And these professors are excuse me, will they're 183 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.000 professors too, But these university left as presidents were like, no, you 184 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.600 know, it depends on the context and whether or not they can put it 185 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.360 into practice and all this kind of stuff. They do something with their words, 186 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.480 then it might be I've got the SoundBite, but they they all hell 187 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:28.120 broke loose on these professors, these university presidents, this particular university president, 188 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.159 you pen she and I'll get into it, like I said before or in 189 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.399 the next segment. Her name, by the way, Liz McGill. She 190 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.919 did what it amounts to a Michael Scott apology video for those of you that 191 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.440 have watched The Office, where she basically well, I'll play a bit of 192 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.519 that as well, but it still didn't do the job. People called for 193 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.679 her, for her to be removed from office. She resigned. I think 194 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.519 she resigned. She's not. She's gonna be the interim president as they choose 195 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.360 a new president. She's a We're going to keep her cushy job somewhere on 196 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.320 the faculty. But the point, my friends, is that we're winning these 197 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.600 arguments. Now. We've got to be smacked across the face sometimes because simply 198 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.200 seeing one of these radicals removed from office doesn't mean anything, because they're just 199 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.120 probably gonna plug someone else in. So we have to think two or three 200 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.519 or twenty steps ahead. And I've got another story about that that I'm reminded 201 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:29.159 of as I say that anyway, But we are winning. We have real 202 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.080 traction, and we are winning in the cultural war, in the worldview battle, 203 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.360 in this battle for truth and decency. I'm not saying we got a 204 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.480 lot of things wrong in this country, but we have victories that are mounting 205 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:48.519 now. Whether or not that translates politically remains to be seen. Republican Party 206 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:55.919 somehow always finds a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But 207 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.159 nonetheless that's where we find ourselves here. I need to think a time out 208 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.000 doing Okay, I don't think I sound that great, but I still feel 209 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.519 like I've got a little bit of power here. As we go to the 210 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.400 break, timeouts in order will pick up on the other side of the break. 211 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.759 Wouldn't we get back my friends. You're listening here to conservative not bitter 212 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.319 talk. It's a pleasure to be here this Monday. Be back here in 213 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:29.119 just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So, as I mentioned 214 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:37.039 last segment, I'm going to play a bit of the sound bite, a 215 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:48.079 bit of the SoundBite that we heard being shared from the president, the former 216 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:56.279 president of the University of Pennsylvania. She was asked, well, she was 217 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:06.440 testifying before Congress, and she was speaking with well answering questions from in this 218 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:15.039 particular example, at least staphonics. She is a representative from She's a Republican 219 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.359 from the state of New York, and I just want you to listen to 220 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:25.359 this exchange. I want you to listen to this exchange because she is being 221 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:30.519 asked for the whole purpose of this hearing was to talk about anti Semitism, 222 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:37.960 hate on campuses, talking about threats and dangers. Of course, in the 223 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:45.079 wake of what we've seen between Israel and Hamas by the way, did you 224 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:53.559 see all of the Hamas terrorists that are surrendering net and Yahoo says that they 225 00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.319 are close to ending this war? Do you end by the way in the 226 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.839 United States? To the credit to the credit of the United States even under 227 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:08.279 this administration. I don't want to get into motives or any of that at 228 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:12.240 the moment. I just want to give credit where credit is due. The 229 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.759 United States vetoed a UN resolution that called for a cease fire. In Gods, 230 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:26.640 folks, I am not in favor of innocent people getting caught up in 231 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.240 the hell that has been created by Hamas. One by Hamas. The only 232 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:38.599 way to have a lasting ceasefire is to allow Israel to go in there and 233 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:45.880 eradicate the problem. Now, there still could be problems, I fully recognize 234 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:52.720 that, but not allowing them, not allowing them to take care of the 235 00:19:52.880 --> 00:20:00.119 enemy as they should and eliminate the threat. If they're not going to unconditionally 236 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:06.440 surrender and release all the hostages, then Israel must do whatever it takes to 237 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:11.640 create that end result, which is the people involved no longer have the capability 238 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:18.039 ever again of doing what they did so but that's the United States vetoed that 239 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.799 resolution calling for a ceasefire. I'm in favor of a ceasefire, my friends, 240 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.839 but I'm in favor of a real ceasefire, which will happen when the 241 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:33.839 side that is calling for the death and destruction of Israel, when those jokers 242 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:41.160 and clowns and evildoers and terrorists are annihilated and not have they don't have the 243 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.440 capability of waging those wars anymore anyway, So this is all tied together. 244 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.839 So of course anti Semitism comes from the amount of hatred that exists on these 245 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.759 radical, woke leftist organizations, these college campuses, and so it's created a 246 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.720 bunch of antisemitism because apparently in the minds of these little radical leftists, they 247 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:10.839 think that some Jewish kid on campus is responsible for whatever the crap they think 248 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:17.839 is going on in Gaza in Israel today, and so they get bullied and 249 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.359 threatened and violence perpetrated against them. So they have this hearing and they want 250 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.640 to talk to college university presidents and say, hey, what are you guys 251 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.599 doing about this? This is a problem, whatever the case. Here's a 252 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:37.519 least dephonic speaking here. In this particular clip, she's speaking with the former 253 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.599 president of university of Pennsylvania, Liz McGill, I want you to listen to 254 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.480 this exchange because this is kind of the starting point of all the things that 255 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.119 have happened since well the past week or so. Here it is Penn. 256 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:55.960 Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's rules or code of conduct? 257 00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:03.000 Yes? Or no? If the speech turns into conduct, it can be 258 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.000 harassment. I am asking specifically, calling for the genocide of Jews? Does 259 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:15.000 that constitute bullying harassment? If it is directed and severer pervasive, it is 260 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.920 harassment. So the answer is yes. It is a context dependent decision. 261 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.200 It's a context dependent decision. That's your testimony today. Calling for the genocide 262 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.720 of Jews is, depending upon the context, that is not bullying or harassment. 263 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:37.359 This is the easiest question to answer, yes, miss McGill. So 264 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:44.079 is your testimony that you will not answer yes if it is or if the 265 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.240 speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment. Yes, conduct means committing the 266 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:55.079 act of genocide. The speech is not harassment. This is unacceptable. Mismcgil. 267 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.799 I'm going to give you one more opportunity for the world to see your 268 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:04.920 answer. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate pens Code of Conduct when 269 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:11.839 it comes to bullying and harassment, yes or no, it can be harassment. 270 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.240 The answer is yes. She's right. The answer is the answer is 271 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.960 yes. By the way, it's absolutely astonishing. I mean it's not we 272 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:27.599 know who these people are. We know who these people are. Now, 273 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:34.119 keep in mind, She's probably pays a lot of respect and attention to some 274 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:41.279 of these radicals who There is a radical fringe, of course group of Democrats, 275 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.319 and often they have a lot of power in the Democrat Party. But 276 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:52.599 the Democrats have kept them away, have kept the pro Palestine, anti Israel, 277 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:57.400 the pro those who chant from the river to the sea Palestine will be 278 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:04.200 free. These people, these were Shida to Leeb types, AOC types, 279 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:14.839 the squad, if you will, truly anti Israel, anti Semites. They 280 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:19.799 are truly the minority fringe in the Democrat Party and in this country on this 281 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:25.680 issue. Now, there are certainly reasons to be concerned about the amount of 282 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.000 junk being pumped into the minds of college kids around America today. I get 283 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.799 all that, But we've won on this issue because since that point in time, 284 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.480 and by the way, when Miss stephonic Congress willmus the phonic said I'm 285 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.960 gonna give you one more chance. I try my best not to interrupt their 286 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.759 interject I wanted you to hear it. I might have said a couple of 287 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:52.000 words here and there. But when she said I'm gonna give you one more 288 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:59.839 chance to answer this question, that moment that miss McGill president, former president 289 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:06.440 I guess now interim president, outgoing president of University of Pennsylvania, Lisa McGill, 290 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.079 she had an opportunity to save her career there and she didn't. Now, 291 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:12.240 I don't know if she didn't get the memo. I don't know if 292 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.440 she thought that the Democrat position was truly the position of anti Semitism or what. 293 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:23.240 But she lost her career over this. And I let me say, 294 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:29.960 and rightfully so, my friends. She could not say. She could not 295 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:40.079 say that calling for genocide on the college campus at the University of Pennsylvania constituted, 296 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.599 constituted bullying and harassment of Jewish students, genocide, calling for the complete 297 00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:56.880 and utter wiping off the face of the planet of the people of Jewish faith. 298 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:07.759 She could not say that that was intimidating and behavior that was against policies 299 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.640 of the University of Pennsylvania. I want to talk about this because I'm a 300 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.759 free speech guy. In fact, I want to get to the old analogy 301 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.359 of yelling fire in a crowded theater, and I want to break that down. 302 00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.640 What does that mean? Why does that matter? And this is the 303 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:30.160 easiest, this is the easiest question that the president of the University of Pennsylvania 304 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:36.839 should have ever been asked. If someone on your school campus is calling for 305 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.119 the group that another one of your students belongs to, ethnically, religiously, 306 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.240 racially, for the annihilation, the actual destruction of their entire race, of 307 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:52.839 their entire ethnic group, of their entire religion. If they're calling for that, 308 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.279 does that constitute a threat? Does that constitute bullying and harassment of that 309 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:03.319 student? Absolutely, and unequivocally, how this only doesn't make sense to a 310 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:11.839 accmmedition someone who is an intellectual who has no bearing, no footing, no 311 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:21.440 existence in reality. Is absolutely absurd and outright stupid. And it's candidly why 312 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:29.279 my father, my father coined the phrase over educated idiots. I think that's 313 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:38.000 exactly what we've got going here, over educated idiocy running our college campuses around 314 00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.079 this country.

She has well, I played you the testimony a 336 00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:10.839 moment ago, but from the time of the testimony there's been a lot of 337 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.759 I mean a lot of people upset for obvious reasons. I mean, she's 338 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:22.000 literally she can't say. She couldn't say for whatever reason, whether she didn't 339 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:30.920 get the memo that you know, the Democrats had decided to not be antisemites 340 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.880 for the moment, I don't know, but for whatever reason, she couldn't 341 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.519 bring herself to coming to the conclusion that she needed to be concerned about the 342 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:45.640 well being of all students in her care at her university. What is so 343 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:52.079 hard about this? I mean, there's nothing remotely hard about this. If 344 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.119 one group calls for the annihilation of the other group. That's no longer speech. 345 00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.119 And I mentioned that's no longer the type of speak. That's just free 346 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:07.480 speech. There's no idea that's being described or explained there, there's no it's 347 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.920 just pure hatred. In fact, I want to take you to the where 348 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:18.920 are we here? Let me find where is it here? It is? 349 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:25.839 Okay, So let's talk about really quickly here Free speech, right, free 350 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:33.160 speech. So the constitution, most importantly Almighty God has given us the opportunity, 351 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.000 the ability to have the right to our own opinions and viewpoints and beliefs, 352 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.880 and we can say those things. We can say those things, and 353 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:48.839 we can express those things, and we absolutely should have free speech. But 354 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:56.079 we've heard everybody's heard the metaphor the analogy that says we don't have the right 355 00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.519 to yell fire in a crowded movie theater when they're is no fire. That's 356 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:05.880 true, But why is it true? That's important If you want to apply 357 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:08.400 the lesson the analogy of the metaphor whatever, you've got to make sure that 358 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:14.519 you understand why. I learned years ago. The person who knows how will 359 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.720 always have a job. The person who knows why will always be the boss. 360 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.000 You can be influential. You can if you understand the whys. That's 361 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:28.480 a critical piece of the puzzle here. And so the reason that we can't 362 00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.839 yell fire in a crowded theater, really, I think that there's two components. 363 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.759 But this is actually in a Supreme Court case called the Shank case hs 364 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:45.880 ch E NK. Shank case. Two reasons. From the way I look 365 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:52.279 at this one, it doesn't add any value to the discourse. It adds 366 00:32:52.359 --> 00:33:00.240 no idea, there's no there's nothing of value being added, even a even 367 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:05.559 an idea that I don't agree with. It's just serving to cause panic and 368 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:12.440 chaos. And it doesn't prevent anything to the discourse but actual harm. And 369 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.680 this is the important thing, and the very thing that the existence of law 370 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:22.440 is designed to prevent. In fact, if you read a excerpt from the 371 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.720 Shank case, which I've got in our stack of stuff, it says this 372 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.200 the most true this was the justice for it was a blackman who wrote this 373 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:34.440 opinion. I can't remember the most stringent protection of free speech would not protect 374 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:39.039 a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. The question 375 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:45.240 in every case rites this is in the decision, the Supreme Court decision, 376 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.720 the question in every case is whether the words are used in such circumstances and 377 00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:55.279 are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they 378 00:33:55.319 --> 00:34:02.680 will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. So, 379 00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:08.639 if you're calling for the evil that says we want to kill un alive 380 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.880 a group of people because of their religion, their ethnicity, their favorite football 381 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.440 team, their race, whatever, if that's your position, which is what 382 00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:24.159 is happening on college campuses, the Supreme courtas says that that is not something 383 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:30.440 that is not protected speech because it's calling for substantive evils. I think we 384 00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.079 surely, to goodness, in twenty twenty three, we can still agree that 385 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:42.679 calling for genocide is a substantive evil in anybody's eyes. And Congress, that's 386 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.039 exactly the sort of thing that Congress is designed to prevent. Create law and 387 00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:51.679 order so as to prevent the very things that this speech is calling for. 388 00:34:52.599 --> 00:35:00.400 That is important. These jokers and clowns could not articulate that in front of 389 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:06.079 Congress. And one of them has had her job taken away, right well, 390 00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.360 she's resigned it, but she's under immense pressure, and rightfully so. 391 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:17.719 There's also now there's billboard trucks driving around Harvard Harvard University calling for the resignation 392 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:25.119 of the president there who did who had similar confusion in her testimony before Congress 393 00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:29.880 as well. Time out, my friends, is in order to sit tight 394 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:43.719 back here in merror moments, I'm probably not going to have time to play 395 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:51.920 the video she did from the time of the testimony last week until the time 396 00:35:52.039 --> 00:36:06.639 of her announcement of her resignation the u University of Pennsylvania president who's now outgoing 397 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:13.960 interim soon to be former Liz McGill, she did a what I'm comparing to 398 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.639 a Michael Scott video. Do you remember the the Michael Scott episode or the 399 00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:23.920 Office episode, I should say, where they somebody was mad and in production 400 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:30.800 and they printed a watermark in the back in the background, of course, 401 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:37.760 on some uh standard paper, and it had some inappropriate things going on in 402 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:44.400 the watermark, involving cartoon characters. And this went out and you know, 403 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.119 to customers, and they used it for I think one of the high schools 404 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.559 used it as a invitation to a prom. I can't remember exactly, but 405 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:58.480 there were upset customers. Michael Scott's for those of you who aren't office fans, 406 00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.119 you know, I encourage it. That's it's a great, great show. 407 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.880 I know it's it's older, but it's one of the one of the 408 00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:09.719 greats. But anyway, Michael Scott holds a press conference that he of course 409 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:19.039 calls Michael Scott's Steve Carell arguably, I think possibly the best television character of 410 00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.920 all time. Kramer would give him a run for his money, but Michael 411 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:27.599 Scott is great. Anyway. Bottom line is the he invites a customer in 412 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.280 the customer to demands his resignation. He says, dream on, that's not 413 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:36.280 happening, and there's a little bit of an argument that happens between him and 414 00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.400 the customer. So he goes. He wants to proactively cut this off, 415 00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:44.320 and so he goes and creates a video. He creates a video where he 416 00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:49.039 says, I'm not going to retire. You're gonna have to carry my dead 417 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.400 body out of here. I'm not going anywhere. I will burn this place 418 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.719 to the ground if I'm removed from here. And then he ends ends the 419 00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:01.239 video by saying, you have one hour. It's some sort of a video 420 00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:09.679 where he is holding someone hostage and expecting some sort of a payout to you 421 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:14.800 know, to do business. I guess anyway, that's what this video felt 422 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:16.840 like. It's in the stack of stuff if you want to see it tiedefshow 423 00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:22.000 dot com right there on the homepage stack of stuff. You'll see it. 424 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.199 Click on that timeouts in order that my friends sit tight just out of time 425 00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:31.039 here back in a minute, Welcome back my friends, winning moments of the 426 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:34.280 program. I said this off the top, but I want to say it 427 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.440 at the end as well, because some of you don't hear the beginning. 428 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:38.920 Shame on you, of course, I'm kidding. But you can always, 429 00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:44.440 of course download the podcast to titofshow dot com, slash listen or wherever you 430 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.119 listen to podcasts. But I want to say this at the end too. 431 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:52.639 I think that there are many issues, many that we are winning, or 432 00:38:52.719 --> 00:39:01.440 maybe even have one. At least we've won the argument. Now that's where 433 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:06.760 the interesting part to me begins to fall into place, just because we've won 434 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.599 it culturally, we've won it societally open borders for one of those. As 435 00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:16.880 an example, this radical wokeness on college campuses, anti semitism, this issue 436 00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:22.320 is another example. What happens politically. Maybe a different thing altogether. I 437 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:25.519 hope not. We're winning these fights, my friends. Gotta go, SDG
