WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.639 Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff radio show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.359 not Bitter talk radio. The advised the content of this program has been documented 3 00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.720 to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to 4 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:36.399 the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Tod Huff. All 5 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.960 right, my friends, here we are at the end of a busy broadcast 6 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.039 week. It is hard to believe January is quickly quickly passing us by moving 7 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.200 into I don't know if I've shared this. I haven't shared this this year, 8 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.960 but every time I think of February, I think of Groundhog Day, 9 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.039 which is the most entertaining holiday. I think that there could be holding up 10 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.879 a little groundhog to see if we're going to have six more weeks of winter. 11 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.400 Those guys in the top hats love it. Anyway. It's good to 12 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.120 be here today. Thank you for joining us. Emails should you want to 13 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.920 be part of this conversation today, Todd at todd haveshow dot com. You 14 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.879 can always text us as well. Three one seven two one zero twenty eight 15 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.000 thirty. That actually reminds me I did get a message that I did want 16 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:33.319 to you know, sometimes I directly reply on here as well to people that 17 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.599 have messaged us, and I think I do with this one really quickly. 18 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:44.319 I got a message. I think it was on Wednesday, and there were 19 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.280 a couple typos in the message, so I but I think I got the 20 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.840 It happens, by the way, a big deal, but the gist of 21 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.719 it was I'm looking at enough. Perhaps I missed Perhaps I missed it, 22 00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:05.040 but if not, please consider discussing Trump versus other Trump VP. Probably there 23 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.319 we go. That's not how I read that initially. It's not how I 24 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:15.319 read that initially. You know, I thought it was talking about versus other 25 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.560 candidates, so vps. I don't know, honestly, I think, you 26 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.520 know, I think that there are you've seen the stuff out there as far 27 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:32.039 as some VP potential. I've seen Christynum's name kicked around. There's some people 28 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.000 that think Ramaswami might have a role like that. Maybe it's not VP. 29 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:42.439 And then of course there was Trump and his comments with Ramaswami, when Ramaswami 30 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:51.199 endorsed Trump the other night with Trump standing beside him, you know, for 31 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.039 a while, until she decided she was running for Senate in Arizona, I 32 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.039 thought Carrie Lake. I actually thought, if I'm being candid with you, 33 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.159 I thought Carrie Lake my be the choice for Trump. For a while, 34 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.960 that was kind of my pick. Those are the ones that jump up. 35 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.919 I don't know, and I don't know how much it matters. I remember 36 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.520 back in the day when I was in college. I remember there was a 37 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.520 lot of discussion. People did not like that the vice president was, while 38 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.159 technically voted on, the vice president didn't go through a vetting process of the 39 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:34.639 American people, meaning the candidate, the nominee selected his or her running mate 40 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.599 and then put them on the ballot with them, and then you voted for 41 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.080 them as a team. And a lot of people at the time, of 42 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.120 course, back in these days you had Reagan, who had a vice president, 43 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.639 of George H. W. Bush, who then became president. You 44 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:57.639 had William Jefferson Clinton, America's first black president. They used to tell us 45 00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.560 that, by the way, do you know that for those of you who 46 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.840 are younger, you may not, but he was actually described in some circles 47 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:09.080 as America's first black president. I guess you can be trans black, after 48 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.560 all. Who knows if you're a leftist to anything as possible, but Bill 49 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.319 Clinton, his running mate, his vice president, I should say, was 50 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:21.560 Albert al Gore Junior, and al Gore ran for president in two thousand against 51 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.680 George Bush. That, by the way, was, of course the hanging 52 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:31.079 chads, the dimpled chads. If you weren't alive or paying attention to politics 53 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.800 at that time, that's worth looking into. That was an incredible election. 54 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.519 You talk about a razor thin election that came down to the state of Florida 55 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.680 in particular, a couple of counties, something like I want to say, 56 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.720 five hundred and thirty seven votes or some such thing. Supreme Court cases. 57 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.639 I mean, this had it all. You talk about election deniers, there 58 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.079 was that as well. Anyway, I don't know where Trump was going to 59 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.160 go with that, but of course there's plenty plenty of opinions. But to 60 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.519 me, the bigger issue is I don't think it it matters in the sense 61 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:09.240 that we want someone on the ticket, and boy, this is not intended 62 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:14.439 to be an attack on Mike Pince, but I think we need someone on 63 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.120 the ticket who also has the same tenacity or no one's gonna have the same 64 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.680 tenacity, but the same level of tenacity as well that's not even true either, 65 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.800 the same in the vicinity, how about that in the same general vicinity 66 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.720 of the tenacity that President Trump has. Because friends, if Trump wins this, 67 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.480 we have to hit the ground running. He has to hit the ground 68 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:45.759 running in two thousand and twenty well twenty five technically is inauguration day should he 69 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.480 win, and there's not gonna be any time for any messing around. There 70 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:58.959 can't be any concern for a lot of the traditional I don't know niceties and 71 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.160 so if I'm not saying to be jerks, but there are things that absolutely 72 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.360 have have to be done. And so hopefully there's someone with some tenacity, 73 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:18.560 someone who's not afraid, someone who's not too much concerned about I don't know, 74 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.959 the traditional side of that. We just need people pushing in the right 75 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.720 direction. It's not enough, my friends, for the President of the United 76 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.319 States to simply slow or for the Republican Party to slow the nonsense. We 77 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:38.199 actually have to begin the process of undoing some of it. So I want 78 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.519 to start here today. I want to start here today by talking about an 79 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.639 interview or part of an interview I saw the other night with JP Morgan CEO 80 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.600 Jamie Diamond now Jamie Diamond was being interviewed, and of course the media, 81 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:59.560 as we've talked about, was in complete panic mode, completely be thought oled 82 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.600 how to Trump not only when the Iowa caucus, but how did he get 83 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:09.759 above fifty percent? And I've seen this spun every conceivable way. I've seen 84 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.560 the results of the twenty twice excuse me, the twenty twenty four Iowa caucus 85 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.839 spun in a number of ways. Well, of course Trump should get fifty 86 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.759 percent. He actually should get a lot more than that. He's basically the 87 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.600 incumbent, right, This is how this is framed. This is how this 88 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.839 is this is spun. I heard someone say, I don't remember who it 89 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.240 was, one of these talking heads in the media. Man, if Obama 90 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:36.160 ran for the Democrat nomination again, if he was able to do that, 91 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.879 you can almost hear some disappointment in their voice, because again, nobody wants 92 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.439 Biden. By the way, nobody wants Biden. Anybody who tells you that 93 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:50.279 they're riding with Biden, it's actually lion with Biden so far as I can 94 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:58.560 tell. But the idea they said that, you know, Obama comes back 95 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.800 into this race, if he could be our Nona, he would get eighty 96 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.000 five ninety ninety five percent. May I point out, by the way, 97 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.800 in twenty twenty Trump did get I think he got ninety seven percent. I 98 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.000 think is what I saw when I was doing some show prep earlier this week, 99 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.759 ninety seven percent in the Iowa caucus. But you have to remember what's 100 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.879 happened here, right, I mean, context is King, Context is King. 101 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.920 First of all, there were four primary for primary people in this election, 102 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:39.960 Trump, DeSantis, Nikki Hayley, Vivek Ramaswami. And this is in 103 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.519 the wake of everything that's happened to Trump. This is in the wake of 104 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.600 Trump having what is it, ninety one indictments or whatever it is. This 105 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.799 is in the wake of two impeachments. This is This is Republicans in the 106 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.039 state of Iowa who are trying to decide if the guy that is the clear 107 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.440 front runner, if there is if he can pull it off in the general. 108 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.000 There are some people now I think that he can. By the way, 109 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.919 I want to be clear, I'm telling you how I think that many 110 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.679 voters are looking at this. They look at this and they think, I 111 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.360 don't like Trump's tweets, or maybe they think Nicky Hayley is a little bit 112 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.960 more statesman like. She's not as harsh on something. She's you know, 113 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.799 articulate, she's measured, you know. And some people don't like that. 114 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.240 It doesn't mean they won't vote for it. They won't vote for Trump. 115 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.279 It certainly doesn't mean that they'll pick Biden over Trump. Maybe some of these 116 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.279 folks will. I did see too, Remember I had mentioned and you had 117 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:52.039 seen this probably elsewhere Trump had was one vote away from winning all ninety nine 118 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.200 Iowa counties. I forget the name of the county, but I did read 119 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.200 as I read through that article, and I didn't mention this when we talked 120 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.720 about this. As I was reading through that article, somewhere near the end, 121 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.679 maybe the second half of the article, it said that there was they 122 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.840 actually ran out of papers for people to fill out who had switched parties in 123 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:20.159 that particular county, those precincts or however it's set up there there were a 124 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.320 higher proportion or a significant portion of people who were Democrats who were changing their 125 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.480 party affiliation, however that works in Iowa. Specifically, to vote in the 126 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.759 Republican caucus in Iowa on Monday, and she wins by one vote there. 127 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.440 We know that Nikki haleeu is and has been trying to appeal to Democrats to 128 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:48.559 win the Republican nomination. Of course, we've got New Hampshire coming up here 129 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:54.080 in a few days as well. But the point is, the point is 130 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.360 here. The fallout from Iowa caused all sorts of pandemonium from the left trying 131 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.840 to spin it in ways. He's not as popular as he should be. 132 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.320 If this guy was such a threat politically, he would have gotten much more 133 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.559 than fifty one percent. I went through this with you on I don't know, 134 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:22.759 Tuesday or Wednesday. Where we looked at We looked at this the history 135 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.919 of the Iowa caucus. We looked at the high mark, the high what 136 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:35.720 was considered a sizable victory, and no one besides Trump back to twenty twenty 137 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.360 or two thousand, I should say, has eclipsed the fifty percent mark. 138 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.919 I think that that's relevant. I think that that's relevant. You also have 139 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:50.000 to put yourself in the position of how Iowa caucus goers think about the election. 140 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.279 They, folks, they are the first ones to begin to voice their 141 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.240 opinion. They think of this as a blank slate. Of course, of 142 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:05.159 sorts, looking across a lot of candidates typically and picking the one that they 143 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.399 think would be best for whatever purpose. And again in the case of Trump, 144 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.440 some of those factors include, can a guy who's been under you know, 145 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.159 indictment for ninety one charges when the White House? What happens if he's 146 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.799 taken off of the ballot and not allowed to be on the ballot, not 147 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.919 just in the primary, but maybe in the general. What happens. We've 148 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.360 got articles, I've got them in the stack of stuff. An article that 149 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.600 shows how the Democrat Party is trying to prepare, prepare itself to challenge the 150 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:45.000 outcome of the twenty twenty four election should President Trump become president again. On 151 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.240 and on, this goes right, on and on, this goes. Remember, 152 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.240 it's the Seinfeld Newman strategy. Whatever it takes, as long as it 153 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.960 takes them, so long as it takes Trump away from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue 154 00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.080 the White House, And that's the strategy. That's the plan. And when 155 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.200 they don't see their plan working, they get panicked. And that's what we've 156 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.559 seen over the past few days. They get panicked. They start to try 157 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.919 to say, well, he didn't win by as much as he should have 158 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.440 won. You know, this guy is going to end up in an orange 159 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.759 jumpsuit, not to be confused with Hillary Clinton's orange pantsuit. All these things, 160 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.240 all these things trying to spin it, but it is a foregone conclusion. 161 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.600 And I'm telling you and you know this. They do not they do 162 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:37.440 not want to mess with the buzz saw that is President Donald J. Trump 163 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.879 in twenty twenty four. They do not want this. It is abundantly evident. 164 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.200 They do not want this. They don't think they can stop him. 165 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:58.039 And that involves every strategy and idea imaginable, as you know, everything that 166 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.240 they've reviewed and that they willing to do, which candidly I think is virtually 167 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.200 anything. I think they've they've laid out all these things in strategic meetings, 168 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.559 and they realize that they're really that they've played all their cards right. I 169 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.279 mean, there's no more. There's nothing else that they can do to make 170 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.039 this, to make Trump scarier to some voter who's maybe on the fence. 171 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.559 There just isn't. They've done it for so long, there's nowhere else to 172 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.720 take this. There just doesn't. Now I'm not gonna I'm not saying they're 173 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.240 not going to try or anything like that. October surprise sort of stuff is 174 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:41.519 certainly a reality. But I mean they are in full fledged mode of weaponizing 175 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.480 the government to go after this guy anyway. So with that is the backdrop, 176 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.360 I'm gonna take a time out. When I get back, I want 177 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.320 to play. I want to play a piece of a SoundBite. It's about 178 00:14:52.360 --> 00:15:00.559 ninety seconds Jamie Diamond, CEO of JP Morgan telling the media, telling viewers. 179 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:01.879 I think it was was at MSNBC. I don't know where it was, 180 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.519 one of these lunatic leftist outlets, but he says, hey, we 181 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.960 should be more respectful of Trump voters. This is another indication, my friends, 182 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:20.200 that people are beginning to realize that the Trump movement, despite their best 183 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:26.519 effort, is not a fringe movement. It occupies the heart of America, 184 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:33.559 at least a big, big chunk of the heart of America for several reasons. 185 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.240 For several reasons. I mean, they've seen what it's like to live 186 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.960 under a Democrat president now for four years or three years, it seems like 187 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.399 fifty years they have, you know, they can compare and contrast. They 188 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.879 see the impact of having weak leadership. The world is on fire, inflation 189 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.639 has been a problem. It's still way higher than it should be. We've 190 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.399 got an open border. We go through all these things right on a regular 191 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:10.000 basis, kitchen table, politics, personal finance, job, buying a house. 192 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.519 How many young people think that there's no remote way that they're ever going 193 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:22.480 to own a home given the conditions of the housing market, the expense that's 194 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:30.360 involved there, and just the overall economic questions that people have, Inflation and 195 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.600 all these sorts of things and people. These are unavoidable, no matter how 196 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:40.320 many talking points, no matter how many one liners, no matter how many 197 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.679 campaign slogans, no matter how many times the Biden campaign goes out there and 198 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.840 tells us that Biden's age actually means wisdom and experience and good judgment. None 199 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.159 of that stuff. None of that stuff matters. And they're coming to the 200 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.679 realization that they are out of cards to play, and this is going This 201 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.399 has the potential, I don't want to say it's going to be, but 202 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:10.880 this has the potential to be absolutely politically brutal for the Democrats coming up here 203 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.279 later this year. Timeouts in order, I'll play that SoundBite from Jamie Diamond 204 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.319 when we return. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am 205 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.720 your host, the one the only tapuff back here in just a minute, 206 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:32.440 come back to my friend. We're just going through, going through the realities 207 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.279 here that the Democrats, the media, the seven pillars of propaganda are just 208 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.079 now coming to grips with. They have invested think about this. They have 209 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:48.640 invested everything in their existence into stopping what is now unfolding before their eyes. 210 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:56.559 They have thrown everything at stopping Donald Trump, everything imaginable. There is a 211 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:03.839 case in New York where they are trying to go after him for well, 212 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:11.400 to penalize him for real estate valuation when he got alone. I've heard I've 213 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.039 heard people talk about this in the real estate world and they say, you 214 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.680 know, no one was injured here, There wasn't like it wasn't like Trump 215 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:26.480 didn't repay alone or something like that. This was this was just arbitrarily after 216 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.079 the fact. And they've you know, people who are in this world, 217 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.359 and it makes sense to someone who's not like I'm not a professional real estate 218 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.359 investor, but they the people that are in that world say this, this 219 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.319 has never happened before. And how many things would you say that about Trump? 220 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:47.559 Right? How many things would you say, this thing that's happening to 221 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.039 Trump has never happened before. So you've got that in New York, you've 222 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.200 got four criminal trials, you have two in peapeachments. You had the Russian 223 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:03.559 collusion, delusion right on and on, we had wire tapping, spying on 224 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:14.720 his campaign. Back in twenty sixteen, we had fifty one alleged alleged intelligence 225 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:19.839 experts that this little old talk show host, even at the time that they 226 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:26.400 said that this Hunter Biden laptop scandal had all the hallmarks of Russian propaganda and 227 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.519 disinformation. How was I able to figure out and how were you able to 228 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:37.160 figure out that that was bunk? Back in twenty twenty. How many times 229 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.640 have you seen fifty one intelligence professionals, big wigs in that particular, in 230 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:48.799 any particular phase of the of the government or some industry come out in unison 231 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.519 as they do against President Trump. We can go on and on and on 232 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.559 about this, but they've thrown everything they can to stop this guy, everything 233 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.480 they can conceive of, absolutely everything, And what are they left with? 234 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.559 A guy who won over fifty percent of the vote in the Iowa caucus, 235 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:15.119 who is gearing up to win in New Hampshire. I'm not even sure, 236 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:21.200 folks, that we're gonna have candidates after New Hampshire. I mean, it 237 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.680 may be effectively over. I'm not predicting that. I don't spend a lot 238 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.839 of time in the world of predictions, but that's certainly we are moving in 239 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:36.160 that direction right right now. It's what Trump, DeSantis and Nicki Haley. 240 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.440 The debate was canceled because Nicki Haley realizes there's no point of having a debate 241 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.319 if Trump's not going to be there. Trump says, what debate, I'm 242 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.480 doing my own thing. You guys should drop out. Ramaswami drops out, 243 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.839 calls on DeSantis and Haley to drop out. Desantus is over there saying I'll 244 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:59.640 still show up at the debate. The television company that was supposed to be 245 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.839 carrying the debate says we're not going to even have the debate because there's no 246 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.279 one left. I mean, it's just it's it's running on fumes. It 247 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:12.680 is inevitable that Trump's gonna be the nominee, and everybody knows this. Everybody 248 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:17.839 knows this, and it makes them the left get crazier. Now to that 249 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.640 point, it's entertaining, but it's still absurd that what we have to deal 250 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:26.119 with this sort of stuff. So it's with that backdrop. Jamie Diamond, 251 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.960 JP Morgan's CEO. He's on CNBC. I thought it was MSNBC. It's 252 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:37.559 CNBC. And I just want you to listen to this exchange because this is 253 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:44.599 this is he's talking to the to the media. And these are people that 254 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:52.039 of course have invested every ounce of their the fiber of their being into stopping 255 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.319 Trump and it's not worked. And not only has it not worked, you 256 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.319 know how people like Jamie Diamond out there saying that we should would be they 257 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.759 should be more respectful. So Trump voters, I mean, it's completely coming. 258 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.279 The wheels have come off of this. So I just want you to 259 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.559 want to point out I wish the Democrats would think a little more carefully when 260 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.039 they talk about mega you know, and you if you travel this country, 261 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.319 you know, and the country is unbelievable. We took our butt trip this 262 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.440 year and Leslie Picker was on Spokane and Boise and Bo's men. People are 263 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.759 growing, they're hungry to grow, they're innovating. It's it's everywhere. It's 264 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.559 not just Silicon Valley. So we've got this great hand. But when people 265 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.279 say maga, they're actually looking at people voting for Trump and they think they're 266 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:41.200 voting and they're basically scape going them that you are like him. Uh but 267 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.119 I don't think they're voting for Trump because his family values. If you look, 268 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.720 just take a step back, be honest. He's kind of right about 269 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.440 NATO, kind of right on immigration. He grew the economy quite well, 270 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.759 tax reform worked. He was right about some of China. I don't I 271 00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.920 don't like what he did us. So you see that though, even when 272 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:07.839 Jamie Diamond is stating the obvious right, Trump was right about the border, 273 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.680 He did a good job on the economy. This guy, I don't know 274 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.039 who this guy is. On the end, this is squawk box, he 275 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:21.079 chimes in and says China virus, as though you just compare that Trump said 276 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:23.759 China virus to point out that the virus came from China. By the way, 277 00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:26.839 did you see this is in the stack of stuff. I don't want 278 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.720 to get off on this topic, but in today's stack of stuff, at 279 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.000 the website tied upshow dot com, you can find a story that shows that 280 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:44.200 China was sequencing COVID genetically sequencing COVID nineteen earlier than when they alerted people that 281 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:49.319 they had a problem with COVID nineteen. Remember all the people remember founcing, 282 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.960 ah, this wasn't developed in a lab. None of this stuff happened, 283 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:57.839 that's made up, This was from a wet market or whatever nonsense they were 284 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:03.640 telling us back then. I mean, it's crazy, but to focus on 285 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.759 that, To focus on Trump's use of the phrase China virus, even if 286 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:15.680 you find that to be whatever, offensive, xenophobic, racist, whatever, 287 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.240 it's not. But even if you go there, are you seriously going to 288 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:26.799 tell me that that is more problematic than the world burning around us? Because 289 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:33.960 American weakness is in fact, my friend's provocative. Is it worse than inflation? 290 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.319 What we've gone through during this term of Biden? An open border? 291 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:47.920 I mean, what is what conceivable reason does anyone have to pick Biden and 292 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:53.920 what he's done, what's been happening in this country pick to pick Biden? 293 00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.640 And that over Trump calling COVID the China maybe retinue. And I don't like 294 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.720 how he said things up the Mexico I don't like, but he wasn't wronged 295 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.079 about these critical issues, and that's why they're voting for him. And I 296 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.480 think people should be a little more respectful of our fellow citizens. And when 297 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.039 you guys have people up here, you always ask the why, not like 298 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.039 it's a binary thing. You're support Trump, you're not support Trump? Why 299 00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.839 are you supported to hate seventy five million of your fellow Americas? I agree 300 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.640 with And you know, the Democrats have done a pretty good job with the 301 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:30.359 deplorables, ugging on's their bibles and their beer and their guns. I mean, 302 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.839 really, could we just stop that stuff and actually grow up and treat 303 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.160 other people with respect and listen to them a little bit. And I do 304 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.799 think the economy will affect and I think this negative talk about MAGA is going 305 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.240 to hurt Biden's electrical campaign. And I just also want to point in, 306 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.559 Yeah, sorry the SoundBite leaped there, but basically he was saying, Hey, 307 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:55.319 what I see on this program every day, let's not be bitter. 308 00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:02.039 Let's actually appeal to people's reason and rationale. Let's not assume that just because 309 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:06.759 someone disagrees with us, that they are evil, they are racists, they're 310 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.119 sextists, a sexist, homophobic, whatever. This is what has happened. 311 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.880 This is what the left has invested everything in. They've gone after Trump to 312 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:22.839 stop him. They've gone after Trump supporters to demoralize them, to isolate them, 313 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:30.279 to malign them, to destroy them, to break them. That's what's 314 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:37.000 been happening in this country over the past well what is it now, seven 315 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:45.799 eight years, and that they've invested every ounce of their fiber into this and 316 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.799 they could not pull it off. Now, I'm not saying that Trump's gonna 317 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.279 win. I'm saying they did all of that work, all of that you 318 00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:04.359 talk about misinformation, disinformation, They've invested in all that to get to the 319 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:11.079 point to where Trump is the inevitable nominee, to where it's a clear choice 320 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:18.200 for anyone with any sense whatsoever between Trump and Biden. And now you have 321 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.640 people like Jamie Diamond saying, hey, maybe you guys shouldn't be maligning and 322 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:30.559 attacking regular people because there's legitimate reasons why they prefer Trump over Biden. It's 323 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.359 completely falling apart, my friends. It is a beautiful thing to watch. 324 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.799 It is a beautiful thing to watch, Like I get enjoyment out of this 325 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.079 because they sit behind doors to try to figure out how to deceive you, 326 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.880 to how to stop you, to how to stop Trump, to how to 327 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.960 just stop the mag of movement, to stop the movement of people that focus 328 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:56.279 on liberty and the constitution. They want to stop all that. They want 329 00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:03.160 us to move to the left, following these leaders the status blindly into globalism 330 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.960 and everything else, and it's collapsed. It didn't their objectives with this strategy 331 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:14.200 didn't work. Now again, the election's not over. They're going to try 332 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.640 to regroup. They're not done. They never will give up. But it's 333 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:25.640 a beautiful thing to watch. They built their entire narrative on lies and deception, 334 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.559 and we knew, we knew that it would eventually collapse. Is collapsing 335 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.200 right before our eyes. Quick time out, my friends, back here in 336 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:47.759 a minute. Welcome back, my friends. I want to shift gears here 337 00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:49.279 a little bit. You may have seen this in the news, if not, 338 00:28:51.119 --> 00:29:00.559 this is worth noting. Postmillennial dot com Biden administration flagged financial transactions containing 339 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:08.359 terms like MAGA and Trump. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network urged financial institutions in the 340 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:15.160 wake of January sixth, twenty twenty one to look through their customers transactions using 341 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:21.839 search terms like trump and MAGA. We'll talk about that here in just a 342 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.920 moment, but I want to mention to you. I want to mention to 343 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:30.720 you.

He's been interviewed in places. We've talked 357 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:45.240 to him here in the past as well when we were talking about health care, 358 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.680 health insurance and all that stuff which comes up from time to time. 359 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.319 But he's been lots of places, lots of places.

So let's look here at this well concerning reports again, 365 00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.920 this is at the postmillennial dot com. I've got this in the stack of 366 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.039 the stack of stuff here. This should concern every American, my friends. 367 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.920 I'm just gonna tell you, if I found out our government was trying to 368 00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.839 identify and politically target people that were of a different political persuasion than me, 369 00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:55.480 that would upset me as well. We need more people having that mindset. 370 00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:59.079 We can't just think, well, if it happens to me, it's terrible. 371 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.960 If it happens to them great or even worse or too bad. Maybe 372 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:06.759 even worse would be to say, if it happens to me, that's terrible. 373 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.640 If it happens to them, they deserve it, because it happened to 374 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:12.960 me. That never ends, Like we have to get to a place in 375 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.279 this country where we can say, you know what, the government shouldn't be 376 00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:21.200 doing this to anybody. Now. I get, you know, probable cause 377 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.799 and investigations if there's real crimes and all this stuff, But this was all 378 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:31.359 part of the performance aspect of how they were, you know, using the 379 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:38.079 January sixth Committee to do some political theater. And if you read this, 380 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.720 which I'm going to read a portion of this and then take a time out, 381 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:47.039 the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has un or excuse 382 00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:55.480 me, has revealed that the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network FINSEN, a bureau of 383 00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:01.359 the United States Department of Treasury, urged financial institutions in the wake of January 384 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:07.279 sixth, twenty twenty one, to look through customers transactions using search terms like 385 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:15.000 trump and MAGA. So they're proactively, proactively telling financial institutions going there and 386 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.960 see what these folks are spending money on. Let us know, let us 387 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.359 know if anything comes up, because they're probably trying to overthrow the government. 388 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:28.720 The next paragraph, heir says the letter from the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization 389 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:35.279 of Government and the Committee on the Judiciary have obtained documents indicating that following January 390 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:40.359 sixth to twenty twenty one, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network again that's Benson quote, 391 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:46.279 distributed materials to financial institutions that, among other things, outline the typologies 392 00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:53.880 of various persons of interest and provide financial institutions with suggested search terms and merchant 393 00:33:54.039 --> 00:34:04.240 category codes MCCs. If you're wondering for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law 394 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:08.760 enforcement, there's a link here to the tweet. These search terms included Trump 395 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:19.599 and MAGA. Prior Finsen analysis warned financial institutions of quote extremism indicators that include 396 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:24.760 transportation charges such as I think that's true that says changes I don't know if 397 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:29.320 it's supposed to be charges, but nonetheless such as bus tickets, rental cars, 398 00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:35.159 or plane tickets for travel to areas with no apparent purpose, or the 399 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:40.840 purchase of books, including religious texts, and subscriptions to other media containing extremist 400 00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:45.079 views. Now, of course it sounds reasonable to say, hey, man, 401 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.199 extremist views, extremist views, But it turns out the people who define 402 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:54.079 what those terms mean, can deceive people into what that really is. You 403 00:34:54.119 --> 00:35:00.320 know, extremist views and conservatism are not the same thing. Conservatism, my 404 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:06.880 friends, most of this country is in fact conservative. They live their lives 405 00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:13.840 as conservative people because turns out reality forces you to do that. You can't 406 00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:17.000 live your life as a leftist if you do, you can't live your life 407 00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:22.119 as a leftist living in La la Land without at some point putting your feet 408 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:27.519 on the ground otherwise. I mean, what happens is what we see in 409 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:32.360 our culture. Right, we've got, we've got the trans agenda, we've 410 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:38.880 got I mean even crazier than that in some instances now with other things that 411 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:45.599 people think that they can identify as and everything else. That is what how 412 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:52.320 unhinged the radical left ideology is. But conservative values like hard work, conservative 413 00:35:52.440 --> 00:36:00.480 values like believing that what you earn first and foremost you have a right to 414 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.079 keep it, it belongs to you. You have the right to have your 415 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:09.920 own opinions. If your opinions differ from whatever the official position of some governing 416 00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:16.519 authority or some bureaucratic entity are, you don't have to agree with those and 417 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:22.320 by virtue of disagreeing it certainly doesn't make them extremist views, right. I 418 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:29.519 mean, these are loaded statements, and they are using the government to target 419 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:35.880 their political enemies. That's it. To target them, to harass them, 420 00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:40.960 to make their lives difficult, to take away their influence and ability to operate 421 00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:46.599 and persuade and organize. Is to intimidate others who are watching. This is 422 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:50.079 out of control and cannot happen. And I've got to take a time out 423 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.320 with my friend. Sit tight. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. 424 00:36:52.400 --> 00:37:06.159 I'll be back here in just a couple of minutes. Come back to 425 00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:10.519 my friends. I don't know if we've not talked about this yet. World 426 00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:19.840 Economic Forum is currently has been meeting in Davos here for the past couple of 427 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:25.440 days. There's some things in the stack of stuff that came from that that 428 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:31.039 came from that here recently, including oh boy, some clips of them simply 429 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:36.559 telling us their plans, which of course they tell us right there to our 430 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.079 face, for anybody who wants to see, and it should be terrifying. 431 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:44.280 But there's some clips of that if you want to see that. They also 432 00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:51.360 hosted a panel, a panel on disease X, which of course should also 433 00:37:51.400 --> 00:38:00.159 be terrifying as well, and the CEO of Blackrock told attendees that a Trump 434 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:08.599 victory in twenty twenty four poses a fundamental challenge to Europe and probably to the 435 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:14.199 world of course as well. All those things are in the stack of stuff. 436 00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.159 Don't have time to get to them because the clock is telling me it 437 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:19.480 is time to take a break, and it is indeed, my friend, 438 00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:29.000 sit tight back here in just a minute.
