10
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:07.480
of adoration and praise. And that's
more than you could possibly ever imagine.

11
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.760
So I want to go through yesterday
and my omda, we have some things

12
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.239
to talk about here today. Of
course, Trump was arraigned yesterday in Florida,

13
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.799
in Miami, thirty seven counts,
pleads through his attorney not guilty.

14
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:29.599
Of course, that comes as no
surprise. But then he jumps on his

15
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.640
plane, flies up to New Jersey, take some motorcade. I mean I

16
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.439
was watching I think I was actually
watching Fox. I don't watch I know

17
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:46.200
some of you are off Fox.
I just had I just had Oz Turner

18
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.359
on the TV. Whatever. We
pulled up, and it was kind of

19
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.840
like watching Well. It just reminded
me of the you know, the helicopter

20
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.040
flying over the motorcade, had flashbacks
to OJ back in the whenever ninety three

21
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.680
or whatever. That was different,
of course, scenario, but it just

22
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.759
looked like that as they were racing
to the toward Trump would give a speech.

23
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.520
And Trump spoke last night a little
bit later than was scheduled, but

24
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.479
of course that's always the case with
Trump. He's a master of this,

25
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.439
by the way, true master.
And you know, as as I finished

26
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.759
watching, I got a couple of
pages of notes. Here we as you

27
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:34.199
know, we're not scripted. You
know, I've had people. I know,

28
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.840
some people have to do what the
producers or the network or whatever tell

29
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.120
them to do. We don't have
to do that. Here. This is

30
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.800
we talk about what it is that
we want to to share with you,

31
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.680
the things that we think are important, the things that truly struck me.

32
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:02.039
As I was preparing, preparing for
this very program, and as I got

33
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.840
to the end of the program,
I looked at at my wife and I

34
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.800
said, look, I said,
I hope people realize. I hope people

35
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:22.120
realize how historic what we are watching
is. There is in so many ways.

36
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:28.879
I mean, yes, we have
the obvious, which is America has

37
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:35.960
never had a sitting or I guess
a former president indicted before. Now that's

38
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:42.319
happened twice and potentially another indictment indictment
coming as well. It's all at war

39
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.080
against this president, former President of
the United States, Donald J. Trump.

40
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.719
But it's not just that. I
mean, what we are witnessing is

41
00:03:52.960 --> 00:04:00.000
unrivaled in modern American history, and
arguably even well outside of that. The

42
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:09.360
idea that the former Republican nominee,
the former president of the United States,

43
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:19.560
and the nominee who lost the twenty
twenty election, the idea that he would

44
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:30.959
maintain this level of enthusiasm and support
and connection in the wake of his defeat

45
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.600
in twenty twenty, this is unmatched. I mean, I know, we

46
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:42.519
had Grover Cleveland, who was the
twenty second and the twenty fourth president.

47
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.199
Now I know, if we've got
a Bernie Sanders left us tuned in here

48
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.160
today, those aren't two different people, right, I'm kidding. I'm just

49
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.199
playing with You're welcome to this program. We're conservative, not bitter. I'm

50
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.079
just having a little fun. But
there he had a term that was broken

51
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.120
up, if you will, by
the twenty third president of the United States,

52
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:10.720
who was who Benjamin Harrison. So
his terms were split into two separate

53
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.800
so he's the twenty second and technically
the twenty fourth president. And so I

54
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:24.839
mean there had to be you know, some consistent support or at least the

55
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:31.240
ability to re re engage with those
with those supporters in the time between the

56
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:39.959
you know, when when Cleveland won
and then one again after Harrison won the

57
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.639
election in between. So I mean
in that respect, I guess there has

58
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:51.959
been signs or things in history that
have shown that certain candidates can achieve certain

59
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.560
certain things like this, but this
the energy is unmatched, the energy,

60
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.439
the passion. I mean the theater, and I mean that in a good

61
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:12.639
way. You know, you often
hear me criticize the radical left as being

62
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.519
dramacrats, and I think that they
are. But there's a time for good

63
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:21.120
political theater. It's just that they're
dramacrats because it's always and only political theater.

64
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:27.199
There is nothing real about anything,
and they're so called ideas. There're

65
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.439
nothing more than a set of feelings
that they are prepared to use every aspect

66
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.560
of government to force upon you to
where you don't have the right to say,

67
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.519
I don't accept that idea. I
don't believe that what you're telling me

68
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.600
is good. It isn't something I
want to support. They don't operate They

69
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.480
the radical Left, don't operate like
that. And the way that they do

70
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:55.000
it is to constantly and only only
operate as dramacrats. But there's a time

71
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.600
for good political theater. I referenced
in yesterday's show that Tuesday, wait a

72
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:09.240
minute, Monday, Monday or Tuesday
was the thirty sixth anniversary of Ronald Reagan's

73
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.839
speech in front of the Berlin Wall
where he told Gorbutchoff to tear down this

74
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.000
wall. He was told by all
of the advisors not to say that that

75
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.160
was too inflammatory. What he had
do, and you're gonna erupt and create

76
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:30.160
World War three did not happen.
In fact, what he told mister Gorbutchoff

77
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.920
to do by tearing down that wall
was something that actually and quite literally happened

78
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.560
just a few years later, when
that wall did in fact come crumbling down,

79
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:48.759
leading to the freedom of people who
were imprisoned in their own homes,

80
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:55.079
in their own world on that side, the wrong side of the wall.

81
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.879
And Reagan did what I would consider
some good political theater. But it was

82
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:07.639
to make a point, to make
a point about something that was real and

83
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:16.920
true and good. It wasn't something
that was designed to deceive and manipulate and

84
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:26.439
mislead and mischaracterize, as is usually, if not always, the intent of

85
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:35.039
the radical left. So political theater
is good, and we saw a little

86
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.879
bit. You always have a degree
of that. Sometimes he turns it up

87
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:46.080
a lot with Donald Trump. And
so as he was ending that speech,

88
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.600
and at the end of the speech, he said some good things. Basically,

89
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.039
I'm paraphrasing. I don't have soundbites
pulled today, but I've got,

90
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.480
like I said, I've got a
couple of pages of notes that I handwrote

91
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:03.600
during that speech that he gave last
night. But he ended the speech by

92
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.799
saying something again, I'm paraphrasing.
They want to take away my freedom,

93
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.960
Trump says, because I won't let
them take away yours. That's what he

94
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.200
said. I'll say it again,
and he said another there was another similar

95
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.399
statement made. But they the government, they the deep state, They the

96
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:33.759
radical left, they the swamp,
they anyone who's represented by as Trump called

97
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:41.600
him, deranged, deranged Jack Smith, who is the prosecutor in this particular

98
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.799
case. And Trump's out there going
after him hard, really, really really

99
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.759
hard, to the point, you
know, it's it's interesting when you think

100
00:09:52.799 --> 00:10:03.200
about the way that court cases are
typically typically handled. Trump goes right for

101
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.679
the juggular, the metaphorical juggular of
this particular prosecutor, Jack Smith, who

102
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.399
he called a deranged lunatic, and
of course he gave him a nickname,

103
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:20.559
deranged Jack Smith. He attacked his
atrocious record, and he said Jack Smith

104
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.480
specializes in political hit jobs. But
again, at the end of that speech,

105
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.000
they want to take away my freedom, Trump says, because I won't

106
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.960
let them take away yours. And
he ended my saying I'm standing in the

107
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.200
way of them coming after you,
some variation of that. So he was

108
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.279
in full campaign mode. He was
in full It was a thing of beauty.

109
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.919
And it's not just that these charges
are historic. We've got a potential

110
00:10:52.000 --> 00:11:00.120
constitutional crisis brewing in the background or
maybe even the foreground here with everything that's

111
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:05.879
going on. You've got someone who
is the uh well, the presumptive front

112
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.799
runner in the Republican prob Well,
he is the front runner. We just

113
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.399
haven't really started, we're just we
have early polling. But he's the former

114
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:22.720
president, the front running nominee of
the party that's not in power, and

115
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:28.919
suddenly the party in power is going
after that nominee. I mean that on

116
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:35.559
its on its face, should concern
every single American. Now, it doesn't

117
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:43.240
mean that there's not theoretically something justifiable
that would prevent I'm talking hypothetically here.

118
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.279
I'm not talking specifically about Trump,
but hypothetically, hypothetically, we should be

119
00:11:50.360 --> 00:12:01.559
able or the justice should be able
to when truly justified, it should be

120
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.159
able to pursue whoever it needs to
pursue. The problem is there's all sorts

121
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.159
of questions as to whether or not
that is, in fact, what is

122
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.679
happening here. In fact, if
you ask people, if I asked you

123
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.480
in this audience, the vast majority
I saw Republicans in general, seventy six

124
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.200
percent according to a recent poll,
said that this prosecution of Trump, these

125
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:28.519
charges are politically motivated. Period.
I saw twelve percent said that they were

126
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:37.720
justified, and I saw another twelve
percent said they were both justified and also

127
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.559
politically motivated. They could be both. I mean that is a logical conclusion

128
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.879
that someone that someone can draw.
But that means that seventy so eighty eight

129
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.679
percent of people survey these were Republicans. I don't know if they were likely

130
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.360
voters or likely primary voters, but
eighty eight percent thought that these charges were

131
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:05.360
politically motivated and that that played into
where we are today, and that should

132
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.440
not happen. You talk about undermining
the confidence in a government, you talk

133
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.919
about undermining our democracy or whatever it
is that people want to say, we

134
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.960
have a constitutional republic. You know
that we go through that from time to

135
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:24.559
time here. But the bottom line
is the bottom line is this is well,

136
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.639
number one, we're in political war. It's still a cold war,

137
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.799
a cold civil war of sorts,
but we're engaged at that right now.

138
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.360
That's what's going on. Eighty eight
percent of Republicans think that this decision to

139
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.559
go after Trump is politically motivated.
That is terrible. That is banana republic

140
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:50.559
kind of stuff that should not be
the case. Now, twelve percent of

141
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.559
those of the eighty eight percent say
that it's also justifiable. It's just that

142
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.679
they are happy they're happy to be
pursuing something against Trump that just again happens

143
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.200
to be justifiable. So this is
again as the stage, this is this

144
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:13.159
is um just again. Do you
think about Trump's day yesterday, Trump's standing

145
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:22.879
before a judge, something that's historic, potentially constitutional crisis causing, jumps on

146
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.600
a plane, goes back home and
gives this speech and knocks it, in

147
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.919
my estimation, out of the park. I said earlier that the it is

148
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.240
historic what we're witnessing as far as
what this particular government is doing, whether

149
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.360
or not you think is justifiable or
not just it is. It's never happened,

150
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.519
it's it is historic what we're witnessing
here. But I think it's also

151
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:54.159
historic. And I don't know if
many people will pause at this point in

152
00:14:54.200 --> 00:15:00.360
time and appreciate what we are witnessing. But what we are witnessing Trump do,

153
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.559
and the way that he is addressing
this, and I'm going to go

154
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.039
through this in the program, I
think is nothing short of brilliant. Now

155
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.759
you can disagree, you can disagree
with his arguments, you can say he

156
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.840
still needs to be prosecuted, But
the way that the guy communicates, the

157
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.960
way that he explains directly to the
American people, to anyone who's paying attention,

158
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.600
which by the way, is a
ton of people. This guy,

159
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.600
President Trump. I don't mean that
disrespectfully, but President Trump has an uncanny

160
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:46.320
ability, an uncanny ability to ride
the wave, ride the wave. Once

161
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.759
he gets attention right, he can
use whatever attention he has been given to

162
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.919
get his message out. And I
think he did a very very good job

163
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.200
of doing of doing that last night. I think I think it was I

164
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.279
think it was superb what we witnessed
last night. He spoke for I don't

165
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.080
know, around thirty minutes or so, but it was I thought it was

166
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.000
incredibly well done. I think he
got right to it. He made some

167
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:21.360
key points that in very clear,
concise ways that cuts through the clutter for

168
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.440
the average person in this country who
may have tuned in. And he made

169
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:33.480
some very very interesting and I think
very relevant points. And so now the

170
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.480
battle begins, I mean it is, and we're playing for keeps right this

171
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.039
this is everything's on the line here, Everything is on the line, and

172
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.559
Trump is not going anywhere. And
however bad we think it is right now,

173
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.320
which I'm not again, you know
my thoughts on this, this Trump

174
00:16:55.320 --> 00:17:04.640
is going to use this and actually, well, he's going to use this

175
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.160
to be able to get his message
out, which he would contend is the

176
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.440
truth about this entire what he would
call witch hunt, which appears to me

177
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.599
to be a very legitimate explanation as
to what is what's transpiring and happening.

178
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.240
Anyway, lots to say about this. There's other stuff in the stack of

179
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.039
stuff as well. You can check
that out at the website taught upshow dot

180
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.200
com. Just go to the stack
of stuff. But I'm gonna take the

181
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.079
time out here, my friends.
You're listening to conservative not bitter talk.

182
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.680
Will pick this up on the other
side of the break, my friends,

183
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:48.400
back in just a minute. Falling
back, my friends, So let's again

184
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.759
talk about this Trump speech last night, which was given after his arraignment in

185
00:17:53.920 --> 00:18:00.319
Miami. This speech was given in
New Jersey, and I thought he did

186
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:06.960
a great job of framing the issue. And so what he first did what

187
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:17.319
Look, my intention here today is
to is to share in simple direct layman's

188
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:22.240
terms and terminology, what Trump was
setting out to do and what his argument

189
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.720
is. Now some of you aren't
going to some are not gonna want to

190
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.480
hear it. Some have already made
the up their mind that he's guilty.

191
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:40.319
I just think that it's important to
know what his argument is, to listen,

192
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.119
to listen to what he's saying.
You can still say it's it's whoy,

193
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:51.359
that's that's fine. But I think
a lot of people who are saying

194
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.039
that it should cause him to go
to prison for by the way he said,

195
00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.279
he said the prison term for if
he's convicted of all thirty seven counts

196
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:07.039
stands at something like four hundred years
approximately. That's what he said. That's

197
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.640
what he said last night. I
have not added it up or looked into

198
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.599
that, but that's what Trump said
last night. So what's he doing.

199
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:18.359
He starts off, He starts off
by saying, here's what actually happened,

200
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:27.880
and he explains in pretty common language
what happened when he leaves the wine house,

201
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:33.920
and it actually it sounds similar to
some of the things that we have

202
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.680
said on here as well. And
so you know, I think for a

203
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:45.640
lot of people, it's hard to
comprehend how many moving parts there is,

204
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.200
and a job like president of the
United States, I think it's hard to

205
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:59.720
comprehend how busy and just how much
of a whirlwind an average day is unless

206
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:07.119
you're Biden hiding in his basement.
So I think that the average person would

207
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.319
have a hard time, not that
we're not busy or anything, but just

208
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:23.680
the whirlwind and the the constant,
well, constantly having to review and decide

209
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.960
certain actions to take and so forth, how certain problems are going to be

210
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.599
dealt with, constantly, non stop, having to effectively deal with that,

211
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.920
dealing with, you know, with
different people who are briefing you, people

212
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.599
who are trying to advise you,
and so forth. You know, the

213
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:51.759
idea that you ever truly get all
the information about any of these things unless

214
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:56.279
it's a very very critical sort of
decision. There's a lot of stuff going

215
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.160
on, right, and so over
the course of four years or eight years,

216
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:07.240
you accumulate this is your residence,
right. You live in the White

217
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.079
House, you work out of the
White House, and you have all sorts

218
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.839
of meetings and everything else. And
so whenever it's time for you to go,

219
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:19.519
whether that's at the end of four
years or eight years or whatever,

220
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.319
you pack your stuff up, and
by you, it's not you, that's

221
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.640
the first thing. It's not you
going through and packing things up like an

222
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:32.319
average person might do when he or
she moves to a new house. This

223
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:37.920
is we're talking boxes and all sorts
of you know, all sorts of things

224
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:45.000
that have to be sifted through.
And so Trump says, look, I've

225
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.400
got all of these boxes, a
lot of these boxes containing personal items,

226
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:56.279
personal effects, clothing, memorabilia,
and so forth. Hadn't gone through all

227
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.559
those boxes yet. I'm an effect, he said. I'm a busy I've

228
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.039
had a busy life, is what
he said last night. And then he

229
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:08.839
added, and they're trying to make
it busier with all these allegations and indictments

230
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:15.079
and everything else. And so you
know, this is this is reality.

231
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:21.119
And he points out, he points
out that this happened with previous presidents.

232
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.880
He mentions Clinton, he mentions Bush, he mentions Obama, and he mentions

233
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.559
even though it's our current president.
He mentions some of the classified documents that

234
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.960
Biden had, and by the way, Trump would add, Biden wasn't the

235
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.839
one who could declassify. Biden was
vice president of the United States. It's

236
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:48.759
a different it's a different level of
well of not of clearance necessarily, but

237
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:55.240
of power pertaining to those to those
documents. And so Biden even has some

238
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.440
things that go back to his time
as senator, which leaves many people scratching

239
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.720
their heads. How in the world
that would even remotely be possible if we

240
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:11.000
were actually interested in interpreting and fulfilling
or I guess interpreting it and applying I

241
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.279
should say the law consistently inappropriately.
But Trump says, look, we were

242
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.000
we had these things, you know, we some of the things that we

243
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.880
grabbed, and most of this stuff
was what we thought were was personal.

244
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:29.319
The National Archives comes along and they
have some questions about some things, and

245
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.880
he says, we were openly we
were openly negotiating or working with them.

246
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.960
Now, some people don't like that
term, but it's not the wrong term.

247
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:42.599
I know some people some people will
kick and scream by by saying that,

248
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:47.119
what do you mean you can't negotiate
with the National Archives. Well,

249
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.519
the idea that all of these documents
and all of these things that they were

250
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:57.480
trying to get and sift through it. They're not always black and white.

251
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:02.880
Sometimes they are not suggested seeing that
there's no example of that. But the

252
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.839
idea is they've gathered all these things, they've put them into boxes, they

253
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.759
moved out with them, they took
them to mar Lago. This is Trump

254
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.480
explaining I thought, in a very
very just very simple to understand way,

255
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.079
we move them into Marra Lago hadn't
gone through them. We're negotiating with the

256
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:27.519
National Archives because you know, they're
questioning whether or not some of these things

257
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:30.920
that we took are personal and I've
got a case to say that they are,

258
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.839
and they're may be making the case
that they're not. And that happens

259
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.559
everywhere. By the way, he
also points out, I've gotta take a

260
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:47.119
break, But he pointed out last
night, and I think I mentioned this

261
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:48.359
if I didn't mention this on the
show. You know, sometimes I have

262
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.920
conversations off the show, off of
Showtime, and I'm wondering if I may

263
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.519
have said it in those in those
private settings. But the Clinton's actually stole

264
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:04.680
furniture out of the White House.
They took furniture out of the White House.

265
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.880
Nothing happened. Now you'll say,
oh, it's furniture, Todd,

266
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:12.920
it's not national security documents. Again, what part of me says, what

267
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.640
do they think Trump was doing.
I've seen people who said, well,

268
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:22.279
Trump sold plans of an attack against
I don't know Iran or some such thing

269
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.200
and sold him to the Saudis.
Or gave them to the Saudis in exchange

270
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.839
for his son in law to get
a big, a big deal with the

271
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.680
Saudis. He's the same people,
by the way, who see no concern

272
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:40.519
or conflict of interest or any evidence
whatsoever of wrongdoing, corruption and the like

273
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:47.359
from Hunter Biden and what was happening
with Ukraine, Russia and every other every

274
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.160
other nefarious actor on the world stage, or every other country even for that

275
00:25:51.240 --> 00:26:00.359
matter, on the world stage.
Biden, Joe Biden being the big guy,

276
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.559
all this stuff, no interest there. But of course Trump, they're

277
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:11.240
prepared to go out go after with
every tool in their in their arsenal.

278
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.200
So Trump's painting the picture. He's
pointing out that this is being inconsistently applied.

279
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.319
And he does that even better than
even better than what I've said so

280
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.039
far, because I just have to
get time out, got to get to

281
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:26.440
the other side of the break,
and we'll continue this. My friends.

282
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:29.720
You're listening to conservative not better talk. I am your host, Todd huff

283
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:37.920
Back in a minute, come back, my friends, So again talking about

284
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:45.680
this Trump speech last night after his
arraignment, and he was basically explaining what

285
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.599
happened. So we have his personal
effects or memorabilia, clothing, things like

286
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.759
that. Inbox has moved out of
the White House. They get down tomorrow

287
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.480
Lago. There are some documents and
folders, some papers, what have you

288
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:08.680
that the government, the National Archives
is saying, well, that's actually something

289
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:18.160
that we should maintain control of.
That's really not a personal effect. And

290
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:25.039
Trump says, here we are negotiating, working with them, talking about this,

291
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.440
trying to get it figured out.
Everything seems hunky dory, apple pie.

292
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:40.680
Suddenly FBI shows up with guns and
cameras and the three ring circus.

293
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.359
That was the Mara Iago raid.
And of course this was the plan.

294
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:51.079
This was the plan all along.
I mean, this is look. I

295
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:57.119
know that some people think that we've
gotten here through legitimate course of action by

296
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:02.799
the government and so forth, and
others think, and I would put myself

297
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:07.640
in this group. Others think that
this is a continuation of what has been

298
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.519
happening to Trump, even back to
the days when he was just running as

299
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.119
a candidate prior to the twenty sixteen
election. And of course Trump goes through

300
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.480
all of it. I've gone through
it, you know, wire tapping him,

301
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.279
spying on his campaign, impeachment,
while Russian collusion, delusion, impeachment

302
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:34.000
one impeachment to make believe January six, storyline and narrative that says Trump is

303
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:41.119
trying to overthrow the government. And
then of course where we are today with

304
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.359
this and of what's happened in New
York as well with with Alvin Bragg and

305
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:52.480
those those charges. So this is
I would maintain the plan. This is

306
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.440
what they this is what they want. It's a it's kind of a hill

307
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:03.039
area of sorts. It's it's it's
I think, an act of desperation.

308
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:10.400
But who's to say that one of
these things isn't going to to stick and

309
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:15.519
get Trump. We have to be
prepared for that that reality. But the

310
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.559
idea that this is going to drive
Trump out of the race, I just

311
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.759
I cannot conceive of that whatsoever.
And so Trump's out here saying, hey,

312
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:29.680
we were trying to work communicate with
them. Suddenly they decided to basically

313
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.759
kick in the door and go through
our stuff and instead of working with us,

314
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:41.640
just simply make this blow this whole
thing out of proportion. This happens

315
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.359
in every administration. That's where he
was talking about the Clinton's stealing literally stealing

316
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.960
furniture out furniture out of the White
House. Then you had people who were

317
00:29:55.559 --> 00:30:00.160
well Bill Clinton, taking audio recordings. I mean, the idea that this

318
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.319
just happened with Trump is not accurate. Now, you could certainly make the

319
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:08.400
case or try to that this is
different. But Trump's Trump's penning the picture

320
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:15.680
of what what he you know,
what he says happened and how he views

321
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:19.440
it. And he also says,
this is the only time it's been used.

322
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:23.440
And he actually made a comment.
I jotted it down. He said,

323
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:30.279
somethink where is it? Oh,
I'm the only one who actually followed

324
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.200
the law, he says. You
go through you look at what happened with

325
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:37.799
Bush, you look at what happened
with Clinton, you look at what happened

326
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.720
with Obama, and Obama's got documents
stashed away in a warehouse in Chicago and

327
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.839
so forth. I'm the only one, Trump says, who actually follows the

328
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.440
law here. And they've come after
me and why. And at the end

329
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.480
of the speech, he says,
I tell you why because they want to

330
00:30:55.480 --> 00:31:00.519
take away my freedom because I won't
let them take away yours. And so

331
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.720
that's kind of the theme of the
speech. That's kind of dare I say

332
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.839
the theme of the campaign that we
are now embarking upon. And I just

333
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:18.079
think, again, I look at
these Republicans that have entered the race,

334
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.279
with the exception of De Santis,
and you know that I think De Santis

335
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.359
should have should have waited, And
I don't. I don't think this was

336
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.039
the time for him to enter the
presidential race. But be that as it

337
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:33.119
may be, That as it may
he's in the race now, so I

338
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.400
don't, but I don't put him
in the same class as the other individuals

339
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:44.319
as far as everyone else is betting, is going all in that this is

340
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.640
going to take down Trump. That's
why there's a Tim Scott. And I

341
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.799
don't mean that personally against against Tim
Scott. He does. There's a lot

342
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:56.240
of things that to admire about Tim
Scott. That's why Nicki Haley's in the

343
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:59.240
race. Same thing. She's done
some good things. There's things I don't

344
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.920
like about what she's done, but
she's done some good things. She said.

345
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.599
I thought she did a wonderful job
in the un Pence. Same thing

346
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:13.680
with Pence. I wouldn't put vvak
Ramaswami in there. I actually think if

347
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:17.920
you listen to what this guy is
saying, I like this guy. In

348
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:23.000
fact, I saw yesterday and I
have it. I believe, I believe

349
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:28.920
it's it's in the stack of stuff. He actually came out and said,

350
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:34.160
look, I think every Republican nominee
should come out and say whether or not

351
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:43.480
they want to or they would pardon
Trump should he be convicted, and should

352
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:47.119
they be elected president. So I
think they should make that declaration, and

353
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:53.480
I also think that they should tell
us why so that's happening out there.

354
00:32:54.039 --> 00:33:00.640
Of course, that's an interesting dilemma
or just thinking about how that that whole

355
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.559
thing is framed. It's you know, going after Trump without directly going after

356
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.880
Trump by pointing out he could be
indicted, but then also trying to capitalize

357
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:20.079
on the people who are Trump supporters, who think that the leftists in the

358
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:25.240
deep state and the media and everyone
else is going after Trump regardless of where

359
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:30.079
the evidence leads in all that,
regardless of what logic dictates, and things

360
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.759
of that sort, and he's actually
trying to capitalize on that. But I

361
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:39.279
like the idea. I do like
the idea. But that's what Trump did

362
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:45.039
last night. Again, I think
it was very very well done. I

363
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.279
think they are going to come they
the media, They the Democrat Party,

364
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.599
the radical left. They are going
to come to regret the day he's here

365
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:59.240
in twenty twenty four instead of in
the White House in twenty twenty. I

366
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.759
really believe that. I think that
they don't have any idea what they're in

367
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.920
for here and giving him a four
year hiatus, so to speak, to

368
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:14.199
sit there and stew over this and
plan and get things ready. I think

369
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:19.679
they may really come to regret that
that outcome, and that might be where

370
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.880
we're where we're headed. In fact, you see Frank Lance suddenly realizes that

371
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:29.480
Trump really has a chance of winning
the general election. It's funny to watch,

372
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:34.360
my friends, this is he absolutely
does He absolutely has a chance.

373
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:36.960
I mean, we've got a lot
of politics between now and then, and

374
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.440
a lot of things that can happen, but the votes are there for Trump

375
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:45.000
to win this thing, not just
the primary, but the general election as

376
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:53.079
well. So and I do think
last last thing, I think that this

377
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:59.360
this campaign, or maybe maybe even
take a step back from the campaign,

378
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:05.840
but what we're witnessing is historic on
many levels. And I think as we

379
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.639
look back at this time through the
lens of history, we are going to

380
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:20.079
I think recognize just how amazing,
whether you again like him or hate him,

381
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:29.440
but how amazing Trump has been at
navigating these impossible circumstances and how he

382
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:36.119
continues to connect with the people in
this country who are prepared to vote for

383
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:42.159
him again and again and again.
That, my friends, is quite remarkable,

384
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.920
the way he connects with his bass. It's absolutely fantastic, the way

385
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.800
that he does it. And they
don't have an answer for it. They

386
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.480
don't. So timeouts in order sit
tight, my friends, back in a

387
00:35:53.519 --> 00:36:05.559
minute. Welcome back, my friends. Look, I know many of you

388
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:13.280
in this audience are military veterans,
and as I've said on this program before,

389
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.599
as I've said before, and as
I know that you know, but

390
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:23.679
just to be clear, when you
signed up to serve this great nation,

391
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:30.800
to defend what this nation stands for, liberty, freedom, all of these

392
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:38.960
well, all these wonderful things.
You were given a compensation package, as

393
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:43.800
you should have been, right,
so you're paid, but you also had

394
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.119
access to other benefits. And there's
there's a lot of benefits that you could

395
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:54.519
access, and some veterans are not
getting access to all of their benefits.

396
00:36:54.559 --> 00:37:02.320
They may not know what some of
those are. They may not know if

397
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:09.199
they qualify, there may just be
some confusion around the benefits that exists.

398
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:13.880
How do I get it? Do
I qualify all of that? And so

399
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.519
of my friends, I want to
introduce you to our friends that anchored for

400
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:24.599

this particular set of questions that you might

401
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:30.119
have and send you in the right
direction. And again, you earn these

402
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:35.679
benefits. These are not These are
not like entitlements in the sense of how

403
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.159
we structure the you know, the
things that the government gives out his hand

404
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.519
us. These are things that you
have earned. And if you've earned them,

405
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:51.960
and if you qualify, then you
should at least know how to go

406
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.400
get it. And that's what our
friends that anchored for vets help you do.

friends, not a lot of time.

415
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:37.000
But if last night, and it
is by the way, last night is

416
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:43.239
an indication of how this, how
Trump is going to play this, how

417
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:49.119
he's going to use it to his
benefit. I mean this, this is

418
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:59.480
going to be again the most intense, the most um well, just it's

419

gonna make twenty sixteen twenty twenty looked
like metaphorical cakewalks. I mean, it

420
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:12.199
is unbelievable what we're going to be
witnessing here. So I'm happy to help

421
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:16.199
walk you through it. Stay calm, my friends, because there's lots of

422
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:21.239
campaigning left to do. But last
night was great. I've got to go. SDG
