WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.599 Attention. You're listening to the top Huff Radio show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.839 not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.599 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:33.359 to the rights. Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Tod Huff. 5 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.759 Well, there we go, my friends. It is a pleasure to be 6 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:46.079 here as we wrap up a well yet another busy, busy, busy week 7 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.640 in politics and broadcasting, in you name it. We got all sorts of 8 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.600 things happening around here today and we love it. There's lots of course to 9 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.960 talk about, and we'll get into some things here today. If you want 10 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.920 to be part of that conversation, you know, the routine thoughts, questions, 11 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.439 feedback, adoration, praise all accepted at Todd Todd at totefshow dot com. 12 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:17.480 Can also text us three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. 13 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:25.599 So I want to start by just making an announcement here off of the top 14 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:32.200 of the program. It is official now. It is one hundred percent official, 15 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.000 And we could have guessed this anyway. I'm going to guess this anyway 16 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:42.719 because we knew, we saw what happened. We saw the actions taken by 17 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.319 Putin when Trump was president, or really the lack of action taken by Putin 18 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.200 as it pertained to Ukraine and everything else. And now we've seen what he's 19 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.640 done when President Joseph robin at Bribery is in the Oval office, and we 20 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.640 can tell that yet again the old adage the truth has been established and firmly 21 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.240 cemented in our minds. American weakness is, in fact what provokes our enemies. 22 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.759 American weakness is provocative. You want to give an enemy reason to be 23 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:23.800 aggressive, demonstrate weakness. That's what we've seen consistently during the tenure of Joseph 24 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.520 Robin att Bribery. But Putin has officially made it the case that Biden is 25 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.080 the pro Russian candidate. I don't know, I'm gonna say this. Every 26 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:42.360 conceivable way I can think of Russia wants Biden, Putin wants Biden. Biden 27 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:51.159 is the choice of Russia. Biden is the preferred candidate of the former Soviet 28 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.439 Union. I don't know how else to say this. I mean, this 29 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.400 is just Putin said it. Putin claims headline here foxnews dot Com. This 30 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.000 is in the snack of stuff. Putin claims he prefers the quote more predictable 31 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.360 Biden over Trump. Well, of course it's more predictable. It's more predictable, 32 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.199 for sure. The predictability is that you're going to get the status quo 33 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.919 of the same old things that's wrong with Washington, DC. You're going to 34 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.719 have the same old situation that wherever there's an opportunity, whenever there's an opportunity 35 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.479 for this individual, if you follow the evidence and you look at what there's 36 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:35.400 evidence out there of, it certainly seems like anytimes there's an opportunity to personally 37 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:42.039 enrich a member of his family or himself, Biden will certainly choose that path. 38 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.439 According to evidence and allegations that we've seen on the Hunter Biden laptop testimony 39 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.199 that's been given by Devin Archer, testimony that's been given by Tony Bobolinski, 40 00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.479 it certainly seems like the predictable choice here for Putin is that he knows how 41 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.360 to contain and control Joseph Robin at Biden. He knows that Biden is going 42 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:12.520 to choose. He's going to choose the path of American weakness. Now, 43 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.720 I'm not saying we want to start World War three. But there is something 44 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:24.319 unsettling to lunatics. Well I don't want to know if I want to call 45 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.120 Putin a lunatic, but just not a good dude in a lot of ways. 46 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.680 But there's something unsettling to those around the world when Trump is at the 47 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.480 helm, there's something a little bit more uneasy to them because they know, 48 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:46.879 traditionally, the standard approach that's been given by the status quo, the traditional 49 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.319 way of dealing with things is, you know, measured response and all this 50 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.560 sort of thing, and a lot of formal disapproval and statement saying I don't 51 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.680 like something Putin di or whatever, and all that stuff goes out the window 52 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.360 with Trump. When Trump's in the Oval office, you don't know what he's 53 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.600 gonna do. And that's not a bad thing. I don't mean that inside. 54 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.240 I mean that in a sense that says our enemies don't And Trump has 55 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.920 said this repeatedly. Trump has said this repeatedly when he was president, when 56 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.360 he was running for president. I'm not gonna tell you what I would do 57 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.879 in situation A, B, C or D. I'm just gonna tell you 58 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.439 that I'll take care of it. I'm gonna tell you that I'm not messing 59 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:34.720 around. I'm not gonna give in and negotiate some of these ridiculous you know, 60 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.399 from these ridiculous starting points, We're gonna look out for American interest, 61 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.920 period. And the memo has been received around the world so much so that 62 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.240 Putin is now on Team Dark Brand and I guess and Russia. I know, 63 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.680 just just for anyone out there that says Trump is Putin's choice, and 64 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.759 I of course, you know the retort, well, that's what Putin's gonna 65 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.480 say, Todd. Of course, he's not gonna say who he really wants. 66 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.720 The American people would then know, they would then know he's got to 67 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.759 do some propaganda here. But the reality is, my friends, Putin has 68 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.000 been on the march since Joseph Robinette Bribery has been in the Oval office. 69 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.800 That is the truth that is undeniable. And people want to blame Trump. 70 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.000 People want to say that Trump's the one that instigated this, Trump's the one 71 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.800 that set this path in motion. Of course, none of that has any 72 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:39.720 evidentiary support whatsoever. It's just ruthless, baseless claims because they hate Trump. 73 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.319 This all happened on Biden's watch, pure and simple and now now we have 74 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:53.160 an actual statement showing that Putin is now pro Biden. Now, fortunately, 75 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.240 I don't think Putin can cast a ballot here. I say think, because 76 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:03.399 who knows what some of these efforts that some of these radical leftist operatives have 77 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.279 been engaging in there might be a way to get putin a ballot. I 78 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:13.680 don't know. But New York Times found they had a focus group of thirteen 79 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.720 independent voters. This is fantastic, by the way, thirteen independent voters. 80 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:26.720 RedState dot com headline here says New York Times stunned after eleven out of thirteen 81 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:34.240 independent focus group voters chose Trump over Biden. So Putin and Russia are choosing 82 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:41.680 Biden. Independent voters are choosing Trump. So you could say the pro American 83 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:47.480 voters are choo choosing Trump and not Biden the pro Russia voters. The pro 84 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:57.800 Putin side is now firmly behind Joseph Robinette bribery here. So that is of 85 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.959 course terrifying news. That's why they don't want two narratives in the news that 86 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.279 they don't want, as you all know, one. They don't want anything 87 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:13.519 pretending to the mental health or alleged dementia of the president, President Biden. 88 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.040 They don't want any of that in the news narrative. In fact, the 89 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.959 administration is kind of lashed out at the media. This is in the stack 90 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.040 of stuff as as well. Let's see if I can find it here here 91 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.360 it is white House demands that media stopped talking about Biden's mental fitness to be 92 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.320 president. Actually, that's my title in the stack of stuff. The title 93 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.440 here at Red State. White House demands the media stop talking about Biden's mental 94 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:50.320 decline. So someone CNN even reported this. This is thinking about the CNN 95 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.840 reported this. How bad does something have to be for CNN to report on 96 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.559 it like this? The White House is not happy, writes this article in 97 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.000 Red State. With the media's recent coverage of Joe Biden. CNN reported this 98 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.200 week that a spokesperson for the White House Counsel's Office, Ian Sam's, sent 99 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.320 a letter to the White House Correspondence Association Association, criticizing the Legacy Media's coverage 100 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:24.159 of Special Counsel Robert Herr's report on Joe Biden's handling of classified material. The 101 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.159 report, which was made publicly available last week, concluded that Biden, you 102 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.600 know all this had likely committed a crime and handling classified materials, but that 103 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.360 his age, memory and declining health meant that a prosecution would not be in 104 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.279 the public interest. Among its findings was that Biden would repeatedly forget when his 105 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.320 son bo had passed away. And by the way the report says that he 106 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.960 missed it, he wasn't even close within the timeframe of several missing it by 107 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.600 several years. And listen, I wrote about this in this week's column, 108 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.320 which went out Wednesday. These things go out every Wednesday, every single Wednesday. 109 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.639 And I'm gonna do this. I've thought about this for a while and 110 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.240 i haven't done it yet, but I'm gonna say at this moment, right 111 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.080 now, it's totally free to get our column, but we're gonna up the 112 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:20.559 ante here.

And we wrote 125 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.039 about this, We wrote about the politics of this, We wrote about really 126 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.399 how it's it's our responsibility, my friends. We have a responsibility. I 127 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.399 know that there's pressure out there to say, oh my goodness, it's it's 128 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.159 bad. You know, the president has there's evidence that he has dementia, 129 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.320 some sort of mental decline. Something's going on here, right, And look 130 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.159 up look up the term dementia and you can see it's really a term. 131 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.600 It's that it doesn't have a precise definition, it just has It's just a 132 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.960 descriptor of some of the things that's going on with an individual that doesn't that 133 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:03.240 that inhibits their ability to think clearly, to make decisions, to communicate, 134 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.759 to remember it's there's a bunch of stuff like that around it, and we 135 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.960 can see this that the more I've read on that, the more I think 136 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.799 this is one hundred percent obvious. Normally I would say I don't want to 137 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:20.440 get into this because that's something that technically would require some diagnosis. But I 138 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.960 mean, on a on a practical, just basic level, it's undeniable that 139 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:37.960 that the definition the family of conditions that surround this issue of dementia, these 140 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.000 these characteristics and traits, I mean, they clearly seem to be things that 141 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.879 this current president is struggling with. I take no pleasure in saying this as 142 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.879 dealing with He's a human being made in the image of God. I don't 143 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.879 care if he has the same ideas and beliefs as me or the opposite. 144 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.399 Nothing changes that, my friends, I think we've lost a little bit of 145 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.919 that in this society as well, where all people created in the image of 146 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.440 God. God even even let's just say for a minute, for the saga 147 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:16.600 discussion that you have too. This is really very broad generalization, but you 148 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:24.200 have a group of people that are that accept the truth of you know the 149 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.039 truth of how of who God is, the truth of what is good. 150 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.240 You have that group of people, and then you have people that believe the 151 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.320 opposite. Certainly, certainly it is better to be in the side that accepts 152 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:43.159 truth and doesn't try to promote lies and so forth say things that are good 153 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.519 that are not and all that sort of stuff. But thee but the love 154 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.000 of God. God died for the world right every person. It wasn't like 155 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.240 he has his favorites. And by the way, none of us, none 156 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.240 of us are good enough on our own. None of us can get through 157 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:07.960 based upon our beliefs and our own more moral character and behavior. And so 158 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.279 if our belief about that actually impacts a lot of the way we look at 159 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.840 other people. But so, but even if that's true, and he's one 160 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.360 hundred percent wrong, and I'm not going to say he's one hundred percent wrong, 161 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.679 but he's one hundred percent wrong on a lot of things, it doesn't 162 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.840 change. None of this changes the fact it's terrible that this happens to an 163 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.360 individual, regardless, Again, if they believe in truth and good things or 164 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.159 their you know, instruments of pure evil, which I'm not suggesting, but 165 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:41.679 there certainly is evil that is plagued allegedly, based on allegations and some evidence, 166 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.759 what's been what it looks like has been going on in the Biden family 167 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.799 here. But the point is it's a bad thing. But that doesn't mean 168 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.639 that I shouldn't or you shouldn't be able to say it when you step into 169 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.679 the public light, when you you step into a position that says you're going 170 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:09.879 to be making decisions for this country, decisions pertaining to things that literally impact 171 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.600 the life and death of people. Sometimes, things that impact our liberty and 172 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.519 freedom, whether we go to war, whether we stop certain criminal activities from 173 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:28.440 happening, like illegal border crossings, or any number of things, the economy, 174 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.360 your ability to take care of your family. Now, look, we 175 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.480 all have to look in the mirror and say I'm responsible, but we also 176 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.039 have to understand. We also have to understand that there can be circumstances that 177 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:46.399 are created by people who are making these decisions that can make things dramatically harder 178 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.879 on you. And I wouldn't say to sit there and sulk in that or 179 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.879 to blame that, but we have to understand that that is a reality. 180 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.000 If you line up in the starting blocks to run the one hundred meter sprint 181 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.080 and you've got, you know, someone that's trying to tackle you, or 182 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.279 someone who's throwing obstacles in your path. That's clearly going to make that time 183 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.759 slower. It's going to make it harder to get to the end of the 184 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.360 race. And that's what's happening. We have to adapt, we have to 185 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.960 adjust. We have to put our big boy and big girl pants on and 186 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.519 deal with the realities that face us. But the truth is these decisions can 187 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.240 impact us in a lot of ways. Not only that, not only that, 188 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.200 but the President of the United States is accountable to the American people. 189 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:41.759 It's the only office president and vice president. It's the only office that every 190 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:48.320 single eligible voter votes on. Right, we don't all vote on the governor 191 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.200 of Indiana, which is where I live. Right, we all don't vote 192 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:57.279 on the Senator from Massachusetts, which one of those happens to be Pocahontas, 193 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.679 which I can say because I'm the thirteen the great grandson of Pocahontas, and 194 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:07.079 our family is totally cool with mocking the fact that she's out there using identity 195 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.880 to try to get away with some of the crazy political ideas she has and 196 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:18.640 she's not. What is she one one twenty eighth Native American or something absurd? 197 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.400 Pocahontas's family. I'm the official spokesperson, self appointed, but we we're 198 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.119 cool with that. We we don't want that to be the reason that someone 199 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.440 either supports or opposes Elizabeth Warren. We want someone to oppose her because her 200 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:41.119 ideas are horrific, her worldview is completely and morally bankrupt. So we all 201 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.319 don't vote on the same offices though and less until the president, and so 202 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:52.000 that person is accountable to us if he's not fit for office. She's not 203 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.920 fit for office and is not the person that's actually running the show. Because 204 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.839 decisions are still getting made, who's making them and how do we hold them 205 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.599 accountable? There's lots of reasons to say that we have an obligation to say, 206 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:10.200 wait a minute, there is something seriously wrong here. I understand personally 207 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.960 it's terrible. I feel bad for the Biden family, but it should not 208 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:21.680 be weaponized against people from pointing out the obvious that there's a massive, massive 209 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.119 concern that we should all have about what's happening in this administration today, and 210 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.400 the media, excuse me, the White House is telling the media please quit 211 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:36.039 talking about that. Knock it off. We think he's fine. He gets 212 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:41.000 more done in an hour, then you get done. The average person gets 213 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.960 done in a day. Give me a break, Give me a break, 214 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.920 time out along this segment. Plenty of things to get to in the remaining 215 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.920 part of the program, but I've gottake a break. Sit tight, my 216 00:18:51.920 --> 00:19:03.599 friends back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. So 217 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.279 it's understandable why I understand why the media or the White House doesn't want the 218 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:17.240 media talking about Biden's mental decline, potential dementia, whatever you want to call 219 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:21.440 this. I understand that. But we have an obligation as citizens. I 220 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:27.039 have an obligation as a host of this program if this is something that genuinely 221 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:36.519 concerns me to say it. I just it's undeniable that this is important. 222 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.920 Now. I know that there are people out there that take personal joy in 223 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:51.160 some other people's well just personal struggles or difficulty or just terrible news. I 224 00:19:51.200 --> 00:20:00.920 don't do that. I also do not look at this as a political rationale. 225 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.839 I don't look at this and say this is politically going to hurt us 226 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.839 or help us. So let's talk about this. That's not the way that 227 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.160 I look at these things. I try to say. I try to say 228 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:18.720 that this is important, this is something that we need to know about, 229 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.599 something we need to think about, talk about, and probably do something about. 230 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.640 And that's as deep as it goes with me. Again, I am 231 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:32.440 Maybe it's one reason why I can say on here with a lot of confidence. 232 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.160 I have no ambitions. I get asked from time to time, you 233 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.200 want to run for this, go for that? Had people asked me to 234 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.440 fill you know, to announce a candidacy for certain things, and I just 235 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.880 it does not interest me. It did when I was when I was younger, 236 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.720 I thought that was the path that I would be taking. Not because 237 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.480 I wanted to be a lifetime politician, but I just wanted to put my 238 00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:00.519 nose in there and have those have those fights. I was sick as you 239 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.160 are. I'm sure I was sick of watching candidates Republicans win office and then 240 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.480 doing nothing about it. I was sick of things that I saw happening in 241 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.160 our judicial system. It's one reason that I wanted to at one point be 242 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:21.000 a judge. When someone brought a ridiculously stupid case in the courtroom, I 243 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:26.920 wasn't going to hear that for one second. Things need to be done to 244 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.519 change some of the stupid things that have been allowed to run amock in this 245 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:38.000 culture and society at all different levels, at all different levels, but they 246 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:44.279 usually involve usually involved government. And then you get a group of people that 247 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.519 are at the helm, at the controls, who learn how to benefit from 248 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.359 that stuff. They learn how to benefit and this is where the alleged Biden 249 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.000 paid a play scandal comes into play. And you see how this just becomes 250 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:06.440 a mass of quagmire, just a disgusting swamp. And when you realize that 251 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:15.200 the number of problems, the intensity of those problems, it becomes a lot 252 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:22.880 to deal with. But there are many ways for us to actually impact impact 253 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.079 cleaning it up. You don't have to run for office. Those certainly some 254 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.599 people can, and I hope there's people that are listening to my voice that 255 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.880 feel like they should run and get involved in everything from a local school board 256 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:41.559 race to who knows, I mean county council, city council, mayor of 257 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:51.160 your city, maybe even Congress in your state, maybe even US Congress. 258 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:57.960 I mean it does a governor write any of those Lieutenant governor. All those 259 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.920 things are important, but for those of us that are not in that role. 260 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.640 That's for those of us who don't feel like that as our particular calling 261 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:11.759 or strength or just gifting or whatever, just not the path that we should 262 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:17.319 be taking. We have an obligation, all of us have an obligation to 263 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.880 make sure that this country. Remember the words of Benjamin Franklin when he was 264 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:30.160 leaving the Continental the Convention. Remember this, he was leaving the Convention when 265 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:40.920 they were drafting, had just drafted the Constitution and Constitutional Convention. But when 266 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.640 he was leaving, he was asked, sir, what do we have right? 267 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.440 What type of government do we have? And he commented and said, 268 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:55.319 basically, you have a role in keeping it. It doesn't really matter what 269 00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.000 I mean. It matters, it certainly matters, but ultimately, whatever we 270 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.599 did at the Constantution Convention, it comes down to your ability to keep it. 271 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:10.359 And so if there are bad things happening, whether it be corruption or 272 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:18.319 bad decisions, whether it is people stepping outside of their constitutional authority, we 273 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.599 have an obligation to call that out. We have an obligation for what's in 274 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.799 the best interest of our fellow citizens, and this great nation to call that 275 00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:33.279 stuff out, to make that known. If there is someone who again is 276 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:41.680 engaged in corrupt activities or they're stepping outside of their constitutional, well job description, 277 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.440 we have a responsibility to put that pressure on them to stop it, 278 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.240 to knock it off, to try to get them back within the guardrails. 279 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.720 If it's corrupt, then there needs to be consequences. If it's illegal, 280 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.480 truly illegal, not on some political witch hunt where we say this person doesn't 281 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.559 agree with me. Let's investigate them and put them on trial and charge them 282 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.160 with all sorts of things, say that they conspired with Russians to get elected 283 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.200 and all this silly nonsense like that they've done against Trump. That is not 284 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.839 that is actually part of the problem as well. But if legitimate evidence leads 285 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:22.640 us to see, for example, that there very well may have been a 286 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.839 paid to play scandal happening with Biden and his family when he was vice president 287 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.359 of the United States, then that is a serious, serious problem and it 288 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:36.279 needs to be addressed. And if the President of the United States is not 289 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:42.039 if there are science to show that he cannot fulfill his office, his official 290 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:48.680 duties, then we have an obligation to point that out. We have an 291 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.400 obligation to say this is a serious concern that we should have, and we 292 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.559 shouldn't just be trying to amplify it when it's someone that disagrees with us politically 293 00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:03.240 and minimize it if they agree with the politically. We should be truly seeking 294 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.000 the truth because even friends, if they agree with your ideology and they're not 295 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:15.359 mentally equipped or something isn't properly working, that is a recipe for disaster. 296 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.640 It's not a good thing. I just I understand everything's become political. I 297 00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.279 understand in a lot of ways people look at politics as like a Red Sox 298 00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:30.359 Yankees, you know, tradition or rivalry. But that's not what this is 299 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.680 about. This is about ideas. This is about This is about the survival 300 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:41.240 of liberty. This is about the true survival of a constitutional republic. It's 301 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:48.359 in great jeopardy. It's at great risk because there are people who wake up 302 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:55.319 every day, every day of their lives. Their sole mission is to remake 303 00:26:55.400 --> 00:27:03.160 this country. Their sole mission is to stand in opposition against liberty, against 304 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.279 the interests of the United States. They're globalists, they're communists, they're socialists, 305 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:15.000 they're fascists, they're people who just want to have control and force is 306 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:21.240 their weapon of choice and they are content on using it no matter what against 307 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:26.039 you, against me. Then you factor in things like corruption, You factor 308 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:32.480 in things like ineptitude or dementia, inability to do something, you know, 309 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.279 do the job from a mental perspective, our work, We got our hands 310 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.279 full. We have to be able to talk about these things. And the 311 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.440 White House doesn't want any of that getting out. Whatsoever tells you all you 312 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.039 need to know, my friends, sit tight, quick time out. You're 313 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.799 listening to conservative not better talk. By the way, my vast, vast, 314 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.880 vast team of attorneys has advised me that I need to let you know 315 00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.119 that listening to this program may cause you to lean to the right. So 316 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:06.440 exercise extreme caution. Extreme caution if you're driving a vehicle, if you're operating 317 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:11.400 heavy machinery, if you're walking down the hallway with a pot of coffee and 318 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.359 you're tot have show mug any of that stuff. Just exercise caution, my 319 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:33.160 friends. You've been duly warned. Back here in just a minute. Welcome 320 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.799 back, my friends. As you know, there's plenty of things to discuss. 321 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.720 I want to shift gears here a little bit. As we get into 322 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:48.319 the latter part of the program here, I also want to tell you remind 323 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.599 you. Next week will be my last week here. I will be back, 324 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.759 but the following week, the last week of February, we will be 325 00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:00.720 out the full week. We got a couple of folks that are going to 326 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.480 fill in and continue to deliver high quality content to you.

So something 352 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.079 else that's happened here In the past couple of days, we had the House 353 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:22.400 Intel Chairman come out and say that there is a serious national security threat, 354 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:30.359 asking the President to declassify this threat so that talks could begin on how to 355 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:37.960 deal with this particular threat. And there's some information that's been out there about 356 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:44.000 what this threat revolves around. We know that it involves Russia. We believe 357 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:55.920 it involves hypersonic missiles, maybe even hypersonic missiles as it pertains to nuclear capabilities 358 00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:01.799 in space that's been out there, which puts, of course satellites at risk 359 00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:07.440 and all different We don't it's not that there's some speculation, but we know 360 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:13.240 it involves Russia, and there's some other speculation that it may involve something akin 361 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.720 to what I'm saying. I don't know that for certain, but there's there's 362 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:28.039 a threat that is serious enough to warrant that well, they believe that warrants 363 00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:32.279 this sort of discussion. Now, I will tell you, I will tell 364 00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:36.839 you that, of course, it's a fair question to ask the timing of 365 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:44.480 this. Does this have anything to do with Speaker Mike Johnson's intentions on preventing 366 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.759 this foreign aid bill to the tune of ninety five billion dollars from passing the 367 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:53.920 House of Representatives. Is this designed to apply pressure? I mean, that's 368 00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.960 a fair question. We're dealing with people here, folks of I mean, 369 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.599 look, you just you just never know. I'm not making the claim that 370 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.160 that's the case. I do think it's a fair question. What is the 371 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.440 real threat? Is it something like what I just said, as I've seen 372 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:17.319 some people report or suggest. I don't know. I don't know what that 373 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.359 threat is. Is it something? Is it something else? Is it something 374 00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:30.799 within our border? Is it just threats to our troops in a particular region 375 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:35.960 of the world. You know? Does this involve iron to China? I 376 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.799 mean, I don't know, but but this is again, this is the 377 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:45.160 world, These sorts of things. I mean, it wasn't happening four years 378 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:50.400 ago. It just wasn't. This was not happening four years ago. More 379 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:54.519 evidence that the world has been burning out of control. And it's I mean, 380 00:33:54.559 --> 00:34:00.480 it's concerning, my friends. This should be concerning. Does mean that 381 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:06.400 we just suddenly start passing massive bills, massive foreign aid bills and just jump 382 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:12.559 on board for supporting a country more and more in the way of fighting a 383 00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.239 war in Ukraine and so forth. It doesn't mean any of that, but 384 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.119 it does mean. It does mean that. I mean, we live in 385 00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:29.639 a very unstable environment and a lot of that has to do with the individuals 386 00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:32.320 running this country today, running the administration. There's no doubt about this. 387 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.039 Now the left will deny it, the media will deny it, but it 388 00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:45.000 is it's just undeniable. I mean, this administration mismanages every conceivable thing that 389 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:50.400 they've touched. Not even able to secure our own borders. So how in 390 00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.519 the world if you can't do that, how are you going to be taken 391 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:59.400 care of other people's borders, other people's national security problems? We can't even 392 00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:04.360 seem to addres anyway. Timeouts in order. That's going on out there as 393 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.000 well. But I have to take a break, my friends, quick time 394 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:21.880 out back here in just a minute and welcome back to my friends. So 395 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.039 there's a sheet or a excuse me, well, says tip sheet at the 396 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:30.239 top. There is a column, I guess at town Hall, Matt Vespa. 397 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:35.360 So is the title? So is that why the FBI ransacked mar A 398 00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:44.119 Lago? So this is what it's it's talking about, something that has made 399 00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:50.519 it's made some rounds into the news cycle. A couple of times here recently. 400 00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:54.760 We haven't spoken about this really yet, but I want to. I 401 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.679 want to make sure that we at least address this a little bit, because 402 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:08.159 it's certainly is the sort of thing that to me has some of the this 403 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:12.239 is the sort of thing the government would would do. I'm not saying that 404 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.159 this is one hundred percent you know that we know everything definitively here, but 405 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.760 I do think that this is exactly the sort of thing the government would do. 406 00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.519 You know the story, he writes behind why the FBI rated the home 407 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:30.039 of former President Donald Trump in August of twenty twenty two. It arguably was 408 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:35.800 an event that helped Trump galvanize the GOP base to his side ahead of his 409 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:40.280 anticipated twenty twenty four announcement. The ransacking culminated a lengthy back and forth between 410 00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:47.320 the National Archives and Records Administration and Trump's lawyers. Federal officials felt sensitive materials 411 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.920 resided on location. It's set off the debate about classified materials and the protocols 412 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:57.960 for taking them, a Democratic Party attack line that blew up in their faces 413 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.760 when Biden got caught for doing the same thing. The only difference is that 414 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.800 Trump got indicted, but there was one file, and this is the point. 415 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.440 There was one file that the FBI might have thought was at mar A 416 00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:15.840 Lago. It's not confirmed. Sources told Mike and Michael Schellenberger, Matt Taibi, 417 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:21.920 and Alex Guttenthog that the federal raid on Trump's house might have been on 418 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:28.239 a hunch that the Russian Collusion Binder was on the premises. So what is 419 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:31.960 this thing? The Russian Collusia Binder was created by House investigators in twenty nineteen, 420 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.800 twenty twenty, and it included the many ways in which the intelligence community 421 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:43.719 allegedly violated the law in surveilling Trump associates during the events of Russia Gate. 422 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:49.360 We know this was a partisan political attack. The latest nugget is that the 423 00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:53.360 CIA got the foreign intelligence services of the UK, Canada, Australia, and 424 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:59.719 New Zealand the five Eyes involved in the collusion plot, which started well before 425 00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:06.599 the f twenty sixteen July counterintelligence pro which was seen as the start of the 426 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.639 circus. So you can read this thing in his totality, I get to 427 00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:17.039 wrap up here. So but this is that why did they not want people 428 00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:22.760 to find just how corrupt some of their actions have been? And how they 429 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:28.119 were willing to weaponize themselves against a candidate for president and anyone who had the 430 00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:32.880 association with him whatsoever. Who knows timeouts in order to though my friends back 431 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:44.800 in just a minute to come back with my friends. Not a lot of 432 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.440 time here to wrap up. I do want to just mention that there are 433 00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:57.280 other reports and just I guess you would say a little bit of conjecture and 434 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:05.400 so forth as to what something falls here, but as that maybe Russia is 435 00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:10.840 looking to target some of these satellites like Starlink that could be used of course 436 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:17.199 to deliver communications services and so forth. But anyway, we know that there's 437 00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:22.119 threats out there. We know that we got to deal with who we've got 438 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:23.639 running the show right now. But hopefully that can change here at the end 439 00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:27.559 of this year, folks. I've got to go have a great weekend. 440 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:28.719 Thanks for listening. STG.
