Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff radio show, America's home for conservative
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been
documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
All right, my friends, So the Department of Homeland Security Secretary my Orcus
has been impeached. We'll talk about that today. Impeached by one one vote
in the Republican led House. We got this piece of legislation that has been
passed by the Senate pertaining to well, it's basically everything that was in the
Border security bill except the small tiny sliver of border security that we are now
completely ignoring, and that's being, you know, pushed through the Senate.
It's been pushed through the Senate, and now it's going to be well,
we're going to see if Speaker Johnson can stop this from going through the House
or not. Some things about that bill that I want to get to in
today's program, and lots of other things in the stack of stuff, my
friends, If you want to see what's there, you can always read by
visiting toddefshow dot com and just go to the stack of stuff page and you
can see some of the things that we're talking about. Actually should be all
the things that we're talking about here. I might miss something from time to
time, but that's that's the way that it goes. But I want to
start here and talk about this impeachment. I want to start with this impeachment
discussion. Secretary of my orcis As has been impeached by the House of Representatives,
and what that basically means is that he's effectively effectively, it's akin to
a political indictment of sorts. So now he will go on to be tried
in the Senate after having, of course, you know, the presentation of
evidence, and then these one hundred senators will decide whether or not he is
actually removed or what's going to happen here. I think we all know how
this is going to end in the Democrat Senate, Democrat controlled Senate. But
nonetheless it's something that we should take seriously and pay attention to because ultimately,
what do we have here. We have a situation. We have a situation
where the border my friends that they've been playing games with this for a long
time, and there's a lot of blame to be assigned when talking about the
border. We've gone through this pretty pretty extensively. We've written about it in
columns, we've talked about it on this program. But the truth is,
there's a lot of blame to go around. There has been there has been
a lack of willingness from Republicans who campaign on border security, border, you
know, the sovereignty of our border, protecting that border and making sure that
people come through the legal channels, not just walk across our border and waltz
into this country not knowing who they are, what threats they might pose.
And again, a lot of these are folks that just want a better life.
And I fully recognize and understand that the problem. The problem is that
the more that we develop a nanny state, a bureaucratic state, a welfare
state, the more we the folks who pay taxes in this country, are
going to have to pay for this. And we absolutely, my friends,
absolutely, if you are being told to pay for something, you absolutely should
be able to have a voice in saying now, wait a minute, this
is not what I'm signing up for here, This is not something that is
reasonable, This is not something that is affordable. What are we doing here?
Even we refuse to stop You know, the problem has gotten big enough
on its own, we refuse to stop it from getting worse again. It's
like a sinking ship. It's like a sinking ship. And as the ship
is taking on water, the first thing that you should try to do is
to stop the water, get the water that's in the boat out of the
boat, and stop the leak from further making things difficult for the people inside
of the boat. And we're refusing to do that. We're having discussions and
debates amount things about what type of boat we want to buy next, or
where we want to sail next, or whatever else, and the boat is
taking on water. The system is not set up to have both open borders
and a welfare state and an economy that's been destroyed by these leftists. Inflationary
economy, bureaucratic, expensive, out of control, bloated budget economy. We
can't have this. We can't have this scenario without it impacting people in real
and dramatic ways. It's also not, as I've said on here before,
it's also not charitable to give someone else's money away. In fact, you
can't give another person's money away. You have to first take their money and
then give it away. And by the fact that you took it, like
Robinhood I guess, for the purposes of giving it away, shows that the
act of taking, the act of force nullifies any good intentions that you have
with the money. It's not yours to begin with. There's so many fundamental
problems here. And you know, as an individual, you have the right
to look if you want to, and say, hey, I think someone
should be giving a higher percentage of their income if they're making this much money.
You can have that opinion. And by the way, the people who
have the money can ignore you. But in this scenario, the people who
are putting the bill can't ignore anyone because they are being forced by these folks
in government to pay for their willingness to solve problems, even admit that there
is a Well, we've seen how hard it was to get them to the
point to even admit this. Right. They denied this for so long.
There's a problem along the southern border. It is so unavoidable. Now they
can no longer hide about. Well, so many things they can't hide.
As we talked about yesterday, Biden's Biden's mental acuity, Biden's mental fitness for
office. They can't hide the fact that there's a massive problem along the southern
border and that they are at fault. But there's different levels of fault.
I've talked about this, and I want to say it again. Republicans have
responsibility insofar as they never really did anything, took any serious steps to solve
the problem of illegal immigration. They will campaign on it, they will fundraise
on it, they will go and get re elected based upon it, and
then when they get the power to actually do something, they sit on their
backsides. They don't do anything because candidly, and I think this is sad
and sickening, because these are human beings. They look at these human beings
a lot of well, there's a group of people within the Republican Party that
does. They look at these folks as simply inexpensive labor. These are human
beings. These are human beings, These are people. They're not just labor
in some number. These are people that I understand why they want to come
here. It does not mean that we should ignore or change or whatever our
laws, but it does mean I understand as a as a human being,
I understand and as I've also said on here quite many, quite a few
times, I also understand why someone wants to come here, because I think
this is a great place. I think America is a wonderful place. I
understand why people would want to come to this place that I still view as
a city on a hill in spite of the fact that we've got leaders who
are doing everything in their power to undermine and stop that to change this nation
fundamentally. They still haven't pulled it off completely. They have caused massive damage,
they have created problems, they have undermined this nation as founded, but
they haven't completely stopped what this nation was built to be. And so I
see the goodness in that, in what this nation was built to be,
And I understand why people would want to come here. But the people on
the left who want to change this place, who have nothing but bad things
to say about this place, America being fundamentally whatever, racist, transphobic,
sexist, whatever, homophobic, you know the routine, all these bad things
they say about the United States, the way they talk about this place,
I have no idea why anybody would want to come to the country that they
that they are maligning on a regular basis, if it's anything remotely close to
how these folks talk about it and think about it, then no one would
want to come here. Immigration patterns would be moving from North America southward,
from the United States southward, or maybe into that utopia of Canada to the
north. But that's not what's happening, right, That's not what's happening,
And so there's a lot of responsibility here. Republicans haven't done their job.
But then Democrats of course look at this as well. They look at this
as votes, They look at this as a way to use their obsession with
identity, politics and everything else that pertains to the superficiality the differences of people
that are just skin deep, not the fact that we are all created in
the image of God. Not the fact that we are all created with the
desire to live and to be free, and to live in accordance with their
own conscience, and to worship or not worship as we choose, To be
able to defend ourselves from a common petty thief to a tyrannical government, to
be able to say what we think, to be able to protest against our
government for a redress of grievances, all these things right, and that's how
we are created to live, and that is what is a consistent thing about
humanity, regardless of our of our race, regardless of our gender, regardless
of all these things that they use to divide us. And of course,
of course they want to ultimately, they want to find a way to stay
in political power, and they want to find a way to fundamentally change this
country. And the more that they can find supporters through whatever means they can
concoct that we don't, that we decide not to stop whatever that may include,
which include a whole bunch of different things, from open borders, to
lack of election integrity, to manipulating people using the seven pillars of propaganda to
lie and to cheat and deceive and to pit people against one another. That's
the mission that these radical leftists are on. And while all that is true,
While all that is true, there's a fundamental, core, fundamental truth
here that's also accurate that needs to be said. And it's also precisely why
the House did the right thing. They did the right thing in impeaching Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcus and that is because he and the administration are
not doing their job. So while they're the larger issue of illegal immigration as
a whole, there's a lot of people to blame. Nothing was done about
the border and borders security until Trump came along, and Trump took a lot
of Republicans kicking and screaming. A lot of Republicans didn't want this. They're
cool to campaign on it, they'll they'll be happy to go out there and
fundraise on it, but to actually do the work necessary to follow through on
these campaign promises, they have no interest in that. In fact, we've
got to send it full of people that would be in this particular category.
These are people that don't well, they don't respect you. They don't when
I say fear you. I don't want them shaking in their boots. But
they don't have a healthy fear of being held accountable for how out of touch
they are with reality and common sense. And so there's plenty of blame to
be to be laid out there. But it is obviously clear for the immediate,
most basic part of securing our border, it was made demonstrably worse.
The security of our border has been made demonstrably worse by this administration, and
in particular, I mean, it ultimately goes to Joe Biden, but in
particular, I mean you've seen some of these testimonies that Alejandro Myorcis has given
before Congress. I mean he's they're literally not doing anything that should be done.
If if there are two options, and one can secure the border,
even marginally, if it can make it just a little bit better, and
the other option either keeps it the same or makes it worse. Every single
time, every single time, without fail, they choose the one that keeps
it status quo or potentially makes it worse. We've gone through the sixty four
I think it was examples that Speaker Mike Johnson and his team that they have
shared regarding the Biden administration and the action that they took while in office starting
on January twentieth of twenty twenty one, how they have literally made decisions that
made things demonstrably and measurably worse than they were when Trump was President of the
United States. So, while it is true that there are a lot of
people to blame the if you get down to simply securing the border, and
back to our analogy from a few minutes ago, stopping the water from coming
in, right stopping the leak on the metaphorical ship. Here, you do
two things. You plug the hole and you bail the water, right,
and then you can talk about what you do after that. But the immediate
issue of making sure that that happens, this administration has fundamentally, without question,
done nothing but wreak havoc on that particular part of this scenario. In
fact, instead of plugging the hole, they took an axe and hammers that
they probably use to smash Hillary's cell phones, remember that back in twenty sixteen,
after they bleach bit them and after they told us she was doing nothing
wrong. That's how she thought. You turned in your phone at the end
of your contract. But they take pick axes and probably some C four and
some sticks of dynamite and blow the hole up and make it even worse.
And they just they don't do anything to stop it. They don't have to
make it worse. They are deliberately choosing to make it worse. I know
that that sounds hard to believe, and there was a time in my life
when I was resistant to believing that too, because I thought, you just
cannot believe you can't do that. I just have a hard time thinking if
you're from this country, if you've been given the opportunity to lead it and
to make decisions for this country, that you're not going to be so callous
and just acting in the complete and athetical way to the best interests of this
nation. But that is in fact what we've got. They don't respect you,
the voter, the taxpayer, they don't fear being held accountable. They've
gotten away with this stuff for so long that they are absolutely correct in impeaching
my orchest because he is not enforcing laws that are designed to prevent these things
from happening, and he is deliberately dismantling a system of law and order,
creating pandemonium and chaos that is impacting people across this great nation. And I've
got to take a break a little bit more on this on the other side
of the break, their timeout is in order. You're listening to here,
my friendsic Conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one the
only tie toff back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends.
I want to tell you that I feel okay. I just still this
is around two apparently of whatever's going to attack my vocals and so forth here
today, So I do apologize if it's a little bit it sounds a little
bit less normal than usual. So my Orcus when he took office, Secretary
Alejandro Maorcis, when he took office, there was he answered some questions,
right, because we got to go back in time. We got to go
back to you know, Trump and his team. They leave office, they
had instituted policies, policies and executive action that actually were designed to fulfill the
intent of Congress to actually enforce our border, to make it secure, to
not make it porous, and so forth. The administration immediately began to undo
these things. And of course, I mean, look this, it's it's
interesting, right, and I've talked about this, and we might write about
this. But anytime there's an executive action taken by the administration, right the
executive branch of our government, the purpose of that executive action should be should
be designed to fulfill the letter of the law passed by Congress. And so
it's certainly the prerogative of the administration, whether that's the new administration, the
Biden administration, or the previous administration with the Trump administration to use discretion in
fulfilling or executing the law they don't have the right to simply not do anything
about it or to change it, to undermine It's that's the problem. And
so they can certainly have their own executive actions. And of course, on
the one hand, that sounds perfectly fine and normal, and that's the way
that it should be an administration. That elections have consequences, and an administration
should be able to come in and make changes. But they can't change something
to where the law has ceased to be followed. So if the law is
to secure the border, the administration could certainly change things that were being done
to enforce it and try new things, change them, so long as the
underlying intent of following the enforcing the law doesn't change. But see that's not
what happens. And so there's a SoundBite here. This is my orca.
This goes back. It was retweeted a couple of days ago by Libby Emmons
of the Post Millennial. But this, this post, this, this conversation,
these comments that my orcas is making. These were back, I believe,
in March and March twenty first of twenty twenty one. So the administration
had only been in office for what six weeks roughly at this point. And
remember remember remember the context here is that you know, new administration comes in.
The border was in much better shape at this particular time, just like
the economy was at this particular time, because they hadn't had a chance yet
to put their fingerprints on it and undermine what had happened. The things that
we're working in a positive since now we were we were coming through the COVID
situation. Now that was a difference in animal altogether. That that was a
situation where the economy was in turmoil because of a government's response to well to
the coronavirus, to COVID nineteen. And that's a whole nother Obviously, that's
multiple shows that we could talk about that, but we're not going to do
that today. I want to stay here specifically on the border. But if
you listen to what my work is is talking about, he's talking about changing
things, taking action as part of the new administration to implement border security changes.
And so now he's acting as though and Biden as well, they're acting
as though they can't do anything. They can't do anything about border security.
Unlus Congress passes a law. There was no law passed in twenty twenty one,
when the administration took these actions, when the administration was giving this advice
to people that were coming to the United States, they did this on their
own. If they did this on their own, they can undo this on
their own. If they undid Trump's policies executive actions on the border, they
can redo those. And of course it would stand to reason that if the
changes they made led to negative impact along the southern border, if they simply
undo the changes they made and go back to what Trump had done and his
administration had put into place, it stands to reason that the situation along the
border would seem to eventually, over time reflect what was on what the conditions
and so forth were when Trump were was in office. But here's my work
is. I want you to listen to this because remember today, the whole
argument is we can't do anything. This is up to Congress to fix.
But listen to all the things that they're saying here, all the advice,
all the changes, all of the action that again coming out of the Trump
administration. There was no new law about the border here. They were doing
all of this on their own. I just want you to listen to this.
This is important in but a few years. We already have designed an
innovative program to bring people in through the ports of entry of those here that
most acutely in need by reason of the fact that they have been remaining in
Mexico for so long. And that's a swipe at Trump's remain in Mexico policy.
So they're already they've already changed some things for people to be able to
come in so that the people that have been in Mexico for too long,
so that was a change, or told that they can't do anything. They
can't take any action to stop what's happening at the border because they need a
new law. There was no law that allowed them to make these changes.
But then these changes made things demonstrably worse, he continues, already begun to
en implemented. We are progressing every single day. I don't have a particular
timeline, but all I can do is communicate both to the American public and
to the individual seeking protection that we are working around the clock, seven days
a week to make that timeframe as short as possible. But they need to
wait. But they need to wait with a particular goal in mind. We
are not saying don't come. We are saying, don't come now of this,
because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them
as quickly as possible. It sure doesn't sound like it. This was three
years ago. By the way, they'll be able to give them a safe
and orderly process as quickly as possible. They have given us pure pandemonium along
the border. They took these actions along with many others. This is just
him defending well anime. Anytime you hear them say, can't do anything,
not that I can do about it. What am I supposed to do?
Congress has to act. Anytime you hear them say that, just remember these
words. These are all things that they did. They turned everything Trump did
on his head. They took a total of sixty four that we have sixty
four or sixty five actions as this administration. They took executive actions to make
changes along how we handled illegal immigration, border security. They undid the things
that were working. They implemented their ridiculous concepts ideas, and we have pure
pandemonium as a result. So they are right to impeach my orcis, and
they would be right too to impeach Biden here. Of course, that's another
topic altogether. We've had Tony Bobolenski who just gave a testimony in Congress.
We'll talk about that on the other side of the break too, but that's
pertaining to the alleged pay to play sort of scandal here that the well President
Bribery, Vice President Bribery at the time was allegedly engaged in during his time
as vice president. But anyway, total total mess, total total corruption,
total and absolute disregard for law and order, for truth, for doing the
right thing. That's what we're seeing on full display each and every day in
this administration. Quick time out my friends back in just a minute with my
friends. All of this talk about Secretary of my orc is being in peace
reminded me of just the need to make sure we just stay on top of
the developments in regards to Biden's potential impeachment in the House of Representatives. And
we'll do that here in just a minute. But before we do that,
let me tell you a little bit about our friends at Harvard Gold Group.
Folks, did you know that since nineteen seventy one, Gold has outpoormed outperformed
the S and P five hundred and the dow That, of course was the
year that the US took the dollar off of what was known as the gold
standard, And we have to ask ourselves, is that a coincidence? When
the US allowed US government, specifically, when they allowed and yes that's the
word, people to own gold again, they reclassified gold as a commodity rather
than a paper currency backstop. Even though the US itself holds and holds the
highest amounts of physical gold in its own reserves, all countries, all central
banks, all major institutions, and even the IMF itself owned substantial gold holdings.
If all of these entities that control our fiat paper money system, if
they have physical gold, doesn't it make sense to consider having some yourself.
Well, you're in luck, my friends. You can talk to the experts
at Harvard Gold Group about this. Their website is Harvard Gooldgroup dot com.
You can use my name Todd and get a two hundred fifty dollars credit if
you decide to do business with the folks at Harvard Goldgroup. But Harvardgoldgroup dot
com is the website. Promo code Todd will get you a two one hundred
and fifty dollars credit. So just a little bit of an update before we
move on. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this headline.
Here Joe Biden quote enabled families, shady overseas business dealings, Hunter Biden
former business associate to the House, So Tony Bobolinsky, which if you've followed
the laptop scandal, or if you've read Miranda Divine's book Laptop from Hell,
you will know the name Tony Bobolinski. And he testified testified on Tuesday hind
Closed Doors and this Biden impeachment inquiry. In his opening statement, he said
that he was happy for Americans to finally hear the facts and the evidence that
he has been trying to outline for over four years, all backed up and
supported by emails, texts, documents, records, pictures, and other evidence,
adding that these facts are quote important to excuse me for America's national security.
So he said this in his testimony. I want to be crystal clear
from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it
is clear to me again Tony boble Lin's that Joe Biden was quote the brand
being sold by the Biden family, and he continued to say his family's foreign
influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere, sold out to foreign actors
who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States
government. So that gives you the flavor of the of the testimony. Again,
this is in the stack of stuff if you want to check it out
yourself. But that's just a little bit of an update. I know that
there's so many things going on. We've got Trump's trials, We've got the
primary process in general, We've got Super Tuesday not too far away South Carolina,
of course, we got a lot of things that are relevant here now.
We've got Secretary of Majorcis who's been impeached. We've got this piece of
legislation, which I want to talk about next because there's some troubling things in
this legislation. Senate passes passes a bill designed to to well give all these
other countries money while not doing anything for our border, which again which again
I mean, folks, the power to act on our border lays primarily at
this particular point. As I've laid out previously, this program and else other
times throughout the last several weeks and months, this lies solely with the Biden
administration. It's actually precisely why Alejandro Mayorcis is being impeached, because he's not
doing the things that are right there that the wall basically expects and requires for
him to secure that border. He's playing games, he's pretending like he can't
do anything, when in reality he and this administration have un undone so much
of what Trump did to secure that border in the first place. So,
but I want to shift gears and talk a little bit about this Ukraine funding,
Israel funding, all these other folks that are getting funding here besides besides
the southern border. So we'll talk about that on the other side of the
break, because I think there's some things in this that matter to us as
well. Lots of cover here, I know, se tight my friends back
in just a minute, and welcome back, my friends. So let's look
here. Let's look here at this bill that has been passed by the US
Senate. Let's take a look at this. Let's talk about what well,
let's see what is potentially on the horizon from this. So immediately, immediately,
we have to recognize that the Senate in a what's seventy to twenty nine
vote past this piece of legislation that we're gonna in general refer to the Ukraine
Funding Bill, which honestly is what the is what the original version of this
bill. If you go back in time a couple of weeks when they were
trying to tell us it was a border security bill, it was still primarily
a Ukraine funding bill. The total value of the bill I'm going for memory
here, not the one that just passed. The one that just passed,
is something like the past the Senate is something like ninety five billion dollars something
like that. I'd have to look close to that. The original bill was
one hundred and eighteen billion, and they called it a border security bill,
but as we as we pointed out on here, only one what was it,
one sixth of the total budget was designated for actual border security. Everything
else was going basically outside the country. So one of those line items,
if you will, was a Ukraine funding line item. And so I believe
the Ukraine funding line item was I think it was half of the original bill.
Now I don't know exactly what it is here. I'm guessing it's around
that vicinity, still sixty billion. I'm guessing I'd have to look, but
that's this This again is the same, it's the same general bill. They
just took the the part about the border security out. So but this is
not that there's problems with this bill number one, number one. It there
is the issue of, of course, adding to deficit spending for things that
at least we can argue about how much these are of that these are interests
in America's best interest to especially the fund. You know, America can have
an interest, but then say it's not something we should be funding America and
have an interest on the world stage, and say we should give a little
funding, a little direction, a little something. It's not good if this
is the case. You know, if Russia starts to become the Soviet Union
and begins to expand, triggering heaven only knows, world War three, if
they attack a NATO country. So obviously there's concern that there are interests there
that matter to the United States. But does that mean that we fund them,
and does that mean that we fund them without really a whole lot of
debate. You're not even allowed to ask about this stuff, all right,
Oz, will tell me send me on a regular basis. Just here's another
a couple of billion for Ukraine. Here and there. I mean, it's
it's everywhere. It's a ton of money. And again by raising the question,
it doesn't mean that you're against Ukraine or anything like that. It can
mean that, but it doesn't necessarily mean it. We just are these the
things that are the most pressing needs for our government, especially when we have
an open border, especially when we have reports of terrorists coming in this nation
across that border. So that's the first thing. The second thing is the
second thing is there is a report from Senator jd Vance, Republican from Ohio.
He sent on a memo and this is interesting. He wrote this in
a mimo and this is at pjmedia dot com. Back in twenty nineteen,
Democrats articulated a novel theory of impeachment based on Trump's refusal to spend money from
the USAI Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Five years after impeaching Trump for refusing to
spend money on Ukraine, they have drafted a new law that again requires Trump
to spend money on Ukraine if he negotiates an end to the war. Now,
this is the part that's important to understand. And I'm rushing because I'm
up against the break as he promised to do. They will undoubtedly argue that
he has broken the law. This new law that has passed the Senate now
that's trying to get through the House. We are nearly a year away from
an election that could give Trump the presidency, and Ukraine obsessed Republicans have already
given the Democrats a predicate to impeach him. So he's calling this an impeachment
time bomb against Trump. I don't put anything past these jokers. In clown.
Another source in our stack of stuff frames this as making it illegal to
end the war in Ukraine because there's a requirement to spend this money anyway.
Got to go along in this segment quick time, not back in a minute,
welcome back. Not a lot of time here, but I want to
get this in quickly. Mike. Speaker Mike Johnson says that he is going
to prevent this bill from coming up in the on the House floor, and
there are or there's question as to whether or not he's going to be able
to pull this off because because there are, there's a measure that's a little
complicated to use that we obviously don't have time to go into. But that
would allow the House, which would include Democrats and some Republicans to get something
to the floor without his blessing. We will see how this shakes out.
But I've got to go. My friends, have a great day. SDG.
