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 --> 00:00:08.880 not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.640 documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:33.399 to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:44.240 All right, my friends, So the Department of Homeland Security Secretary my Orcus 6 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:51.000 has been impeached. We'll talk about that today. Impeached by one one vote 7 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.600 in the Republican led House. We got this piece of legislation that has been 8 00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:03.280 passed by the Senate pertaining to well, it's basically everything that was in the 9 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:11.560 Border security bill except the small tiny sliver of border security that we are now 10 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.400 completely ignoring, and that's being, you know, pushed through the Senate. 11 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.560 It's been pushed through the Senate, and now it's going to be well, 12 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.719 we're going to see if Speaker Johnson can stop this from going through the House 13 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.799 or not. Some things about that bill that I want to get to in 14 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.319 today's program, and lots of other things in the stack of stuff, my 15 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.359 friends, If you want to see what's there, you can always read by 16 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.439 visiting toddefshow dot com and just go to the stack of stuff page and you 17 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.920 can see some of the things that we're talking about. Actually should be all 18 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.560 the things that we're talking about here. I might miss something from time to 19 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.760 time, but that's that's the way that it goes. But I want to 20 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.359 start here and talk about this impeachment. I want to start with this impeachment 21 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.280 discussion. Secretary of my orcis As has been impeached by the House of Representatives, 22 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:09.120 and what that basically means is that he's effectively effectively, it's akin to 23 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:16.039 a political indictment of sorts. So now he will go on to be tried 24 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:22.919 in the Senate after having, of course, you know, the presentation of 25 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.840 evidence, and then these one hundred senators will decide whether or not he is 26 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.919 actually removed or what's going to happen here. I think we all know how 27 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:39.319 this is going to end in the Democrat Senate, Democrat controlled Senate. But 28 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.599 nonetheless it's something that we should take seriously and pay attention to because ultimately, 29 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.120 what do we have here. We have a situation. We have a situation 30 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:59.400 where the border my friends that they've been playing games with this for a long 31 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.240 time, and there's a lot of blame to be assigned when talking about the 32 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.919 border. We've gone through this pretty pretty extensively. We've written about it in 33 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.719 columns, we've talked about it on this program. But the truth is, 34 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:20.439 there's a lot of blame to go around. There has been there has been 35 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:30.000 a lack of willingness from Republicans who campaign on border security, border, you 36 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.840 know, the sovereignty of our border, protecting that border and making sure that 37 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:45.560 people come through the legal channels, not just walk across our border and waltz 38 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.879 into this country not knowing who they are, what threats they might pose. 39 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.840 And again, a lot of these are folks that just want a better life. 40 00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.400 And I fully recognize and understand that the problem. The problem is that 41 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.719 the more that we develop a nanny state, a bureaucratic state, a welfare 42 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:14.800 state, the more we the folks who pay taxes in this country, are 43 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.160 going to have to pay for this. And we absolutely, my friends, 44 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:25.360 absolutely, if you are being told to pay for something, you absolutely should 45 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.199 be able to have a voice in saying now, wait a minute, this 46 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.160 is not what I'm signing up for here, This is not something that is 47 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:42.199 reasonable, This is not something that is affordable. What are we doing here? 48 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.160 Even we refuse to stop You know, the problem has gotten big enough 49 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.480 on its own, we refuse to stop it from getting worse again. It's 50 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.800 like a sinking ship. It's like a sinking ship. And as the ship 51 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.959 is taking on water, the first thing that you should try to do is 52 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.079 to stop the water, get the water that's in the boat out of the 53 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.879 boat, and stop the leak from further making things difficult for the people inside 54 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.000 of the boat. And we're refusing to do that. We're having discussions and 55 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.319 debates amount things about what type of boat we want to buy next, or 56 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.040 where we want to sail next, or whatever else, and the boat is 57 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.959 taking on water. The system is not set up to have both open borders 58 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.879 and a welfare state and an economy that's been destroyed by these leftists. Inflationary 59 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:46.600 economy, bureaucratic, expensive, out of control, bloated budget economy. We 60 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.480 can't have this. We can't have this scenario without it impacting people in real 61 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.879 and dramatic ways. It's also not, as I've said on here before, 62 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:02.360 it's also not charitable to give someone else's money away. In fact, you 63 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:09.000 can't give another person's money away. You have to first take their money and 64 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.439 then give it away. And by the fact that you took it, like 65 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.519 Robinhood I guess, for the purposes of giving it away, shows that the 66 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:25.240 act of taking, the act of force nullifies any good intentions that you have 67 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.800 with the money. It's not yours to begin with. There's so many fundamental 68 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.600 problems here. And you know, as an individual, you have the right 69 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.959 to look if you want to, and say, hey, I think someone 70 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.279 should be giving a higher percentage of their income if they're making this much money. 71 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.519 You can have that opinion. And by the way, the people who 72 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.560 have the money can ignore you. But in this scenario, the people who 73 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:56.800 are putting the bill can't ignore anyone because they are being forced by these folks 74 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:02.240 in government to pay for their willingness to solve problems, even admit that there 75 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.600 is a Well, we've seen how hard it was to get them to the 76 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.000 point to even admit this. Right. They denied this for so long. 77 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.439 There's a problem along the southern border. It is so unavoidable. Now they 78 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.000 can no longer hide about. Well, so many things they can't hide. 79 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:26.680 As we talked about yesterday, Biden's Biden's mental acuity, Biden's mental fitness for 80 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.240 office. They can't hide the fact that there's a massive problem along the southern 81 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.959 border and that they are at fault. But there's different levels of fault. 82 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.720 I've talked about this, and I want to say it again. Republicans have 83 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:49.199 responsibility insofar as they never really did anything, took any serious steps to solve 84 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:55.160 the problem of illegal immigration. They will campaign on it, they will fundraise 85 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.920 on it, they will go and get re elected based upon it, and 86 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.160 then when they get the power to actually do something, they sit on their 87 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.319 backsides. They don't do anything because candidly, and I think this is sad 88 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.120 and sickening, because these are human beings. They look at these human beings 89 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.800 a lot of well, there's a group of people within the Republican Party that 90 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.839 does. They look at these folks as simply inexpensive labor. These are human 91 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.120 beings. These are human beings, These are people. They're not just labor 92 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.080 in some number. These are people that I understand why they want to come 93 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.559 here. It does not mean that we should ignore or change or whatever our 94 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.879 laws, but it does mean I understand as a as a human being, 95 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.279 I understand and as I've also said on here quite many, quite a few 96 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.720 times, I also understand why someone wants to come here, because I think 97 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.320 this is a great place. I think America is a wonderful place. I 98 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.679 understand why people would want to come to this place that I still view as 99 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.720 a city on a hill in spite of the fact that we've got leaders who 100 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.440 are doing everything in their power to undermine and stop that to change this nation 101 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:15.799 fundamentally. They still haven't pulled it off completely. They have caused massive damage, 102 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.279 they have created problems, they have undermined this nation as founded, but 103 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:26.679 they haven't completely stopped what this nation was built to be. And so I 104 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.440 see the goodness in that, in what this nation was built to be, 105 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.960 And I understand why people would want to come here. But the people on 106 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.240 the left who want to change this place, who have nothing but bad things 107 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:43.919 to say about this place, America being fundamentally whatever, racist, transphobic, 108 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.480 sexist, whatever, homophobic, you know the routine, all these bad things 109 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.360 they say about the United States, the way they talk about this place, 110 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.240 I have no idea why anybody would want to come to the country that they 111 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.799 that they are maligning on a regular basis, if it's anything remotely close to 112 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.720 how these folks talk about it and think about it, then no one would 113 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.080 want to come here. Immigration patterns would be moving from North America southward, 114 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.480 from the United States southward, or maybe into that utopia of Canada to the 115 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.600 north. But that's not what's happening, right, That's not what's happening, 116 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.759 And so there's a lot of responsibility here. Republicans haven't done their job. 117 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.799 But then Democrats of course look at this as well. They look at this 118 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:41.639 as votes, They look at this as a way to use their obsession with 119 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:48.600 identity, politics and everything else that pertains to the superficiality the differences of people 120 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.360 that are just skin deep, not the fact that we are all created in 121 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.840 the image of God. Not the fact that we are all created with the 122 00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:00.879 desire to live and to be free, and to live in accordance with their 123 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.159 own conscience, and to worship or not worship as we choose, To be 124 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:13.960 able to defend ourselves from a common petty thief to a tyrannical government, to 125 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.960 be able to say what we think, to be able to protest against our 126 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.559 government for a redress of grievances, all these things right, and that's how 127 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.159 we are created to live, and that is what is a consistent thing about 128 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.759 humanity, regardless of our of our race, regardless of our gender, regardless 129 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.399 of all these things that they use to divide us. And of course, 130 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.320 of course they want to ultimately, they want to find a way to stay 131 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.679 in political power, and they want to find a way to fundamentally change this 132 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:54.039 country. And the more that they can find supporters through whatever means they can 133 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.519 concoct that we don't, that we decide not to stop whatever that may include, 134 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.399 which include a whole bunch of different things, from open borders, to 135 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.519 lack of election integrity, to manipulating people using the seven pillars of propaganda to 136 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.679 lie and to cheat and deceive and to pit people against one another. That's 137 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.960 the mission that these radical leftists are on. And while all that is true, 138 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.039 While all that is true, there's a fundamental, core, fundamental truth 139 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:33.240 here that's also accurate that needs to be said. And it's also precisely why 140 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.840 the House did the right thing. They did the right thing in impeaching Department 141 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:46.039 of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcus and that is because he and the administration are 142 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:54.360 not doing their job. So while they're the larger issue of illegal immigration as 143 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.559 a whole, there's a lot of people to blame. Nothing was done about 144 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.559 the border and borders security until Trump came along, and Trump took a lot 145 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.519 of Republicans kicking and screaming. A lot of Republicans didn't want this. They're 146 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.320 cool to campaign on it, they'll they'll be happy to go out there and 147 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.440 fundraise on it, but to actually do the work necessary to follow through on 148 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.240 these campaign promises, they have no interest in that. In fact, we've 149 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.840 got to send it full of people that would be in this particular category. 150 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.000 These are people that don't well, they don't respect you. They don't when 151 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.200 I say fear you. I don't want them shaking in their boots. But 152 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.840 they don't have a healthy fear of being held accountable for how out of touch 153 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.159 they are with reality and common sense. And so there's plenty of blame to 154 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:50.279 be to be laid out there. But it is obviously clear for the immediate, 155 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:56.279 most basic part of securing our border, it was made demonstrably worse. 156 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.759 The security of our border has been made demonstrably worse by this administration, and 157 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.279 in particular, I mean, it ultimately goes to Joe Biden, but in 158 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.919 particular, I mean you've seen some of these testimonies that Alejandro Myorcis has given 159 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:18.639 before Congress. I mean he's they're literally not doing anything that should be done. 160 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.519 If if there are two options, and one can secure the border, 161 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.679 even marginally, if it can make it just a little bit better, and 162 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.679 the other option either keeps it the same or makes it worse. Every single 163 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.240 time, every single time, without fail, they choose the one that keeps 164 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:43.200 it status quo or potentially makes it worse. We've gone through the sixty four 165 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:50.039 I think it was examples that Speaker Mike Johnson and his team that they have 166 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:58.399 shared regarding the Biden administration and the action that they took while in office starting 167 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:05.000 on January twentieth of twenty twenty one, how they have literally made decisions that 168 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.080 made things demonstrably and measurably worse than they were when Trump was President of the 169 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.200 United States. So, while it is true that there are a lot of 170 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.960 people to blame the if you get down to simply securing the border, and 171 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.320 back to our analogy from a few minutes ago, stopping the water from coming 172 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.159 in, right stopping the leak on the metaphorical ship. Here, you do 173 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:37.600 two things. You plug the hole and you bail the water, right, 174 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.759 and then you can talk about what you do after that. But the immediate 175 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.240 issue of making sure that that happens, this administration has fundamentally, without question, 176 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.320 done nothing but wreak havoc on that particular part of this scenario. In 177 00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.440 fact, instead of plugging the hole, they took an axe and hammers that 178 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.720 they probably use to smash Hillary's cell phones, remember that back in twenty sixteen, 179 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.679 after they bleach bit them and after they told us she was doing nothing 180 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.759 wrong. That's how she thought. You turned in your phone at the end 181 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:19.200 of your contract. But they take pick axes and probably some C four and 182 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.639 some sticks of dynamite and blow the hole up and make it even worse. 183 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.039 And they just they don't do anything to stop it. They don't have to 184 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.159 make it worse. They are deliberately choosing to make it worse. I know 185 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.200 that that sounds hard to believe, and there was a time in my life 186 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:42.039 when I was resistant to believing that too, because I thought, you just 187 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.519 cannot believe you can't do that. I just have a hard time thinking if 188 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.799 you're from this country, if you've been given the opportunity to lead it and 189 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:59.519 to make decisions for this country, that you're not going to be so callous 190 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:06.359 and just acting in the complete and athetical way to the best interests of this 191 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.319 nation. But that is in fact what we've got. They don't respect you, 192 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:18.920 the voter, the taxpayer, they don't fear being held accountable. They've 193 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.759 gotten away with this stuff for so long that they are absolutely correct in impeaching 194 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:30.759 my orchest because he is not enforcing laws that are designed to prevent these things 195 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.319 from happening, and he is deliberately dismantling a system of law and order, 196 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:41.359 creating pandemonium and chaos that is impacting people across this great nation. And I've 197 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.160 got to take a break a little bit more on this on the other side 198 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.079 of the break, their timeout is in order. You're listening to here, 199 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.440 my friendsic Conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one the 200 00:17:51.440 --> 00:18:06.240 only tie toff back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. 201 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.400 I want to tell you that I feel okay. I just still this 202 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.000 is around two apparently of whatever's going to attack my vocals and so forth here 203 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.720 today, So I do apologize if it's a little bit it sounds a little 204 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:30.559 bit less normal than usual. So my Orcus when he took office, Secretary 205 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.720 Alejandro Maorcis, when he took office, there was he answered some questions, 206 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.000 right, because we got to go back in time. We got to go 207 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:44.079 back to you know, Trump and his team. They leave office, they 208 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:56.240 had instituted policies, policies and executive action that actually were designed to fulfill the 209 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:03.960 intent of Congress to actually enforce our border, to make it secure, to 210 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:10.079 not make it porous, and so forth. The administration immediately began to undo 211 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:17.680 these things. And of course, I mean, look this, it's it's 212 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:22.319 interesting, right, and I've talked about this, and we might write about 213 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.720 this. But anytime there's an executive action taken by the administration, right the 214 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:33.720 executive branch of our government, the purpose of that executive action should be should 215 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:41.319 be designed to fulfill the letter of the law passed by Congress. And so 216 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:47.000 it's certainly the prerogative of the administration, whether that's the new administration, the 217 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.359 Biden administration, or the previous administration with the Trump administration to use discretion in 218 00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:02.920 fulfilling or executing the law they don't have the right to simply not do anything 219 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.440 about it or to change it, to undermine It's that's the problem. And 220 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:12.200 so they can certainly have their own executive actions. And of course, on 221 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.680 the one hand, that sounds perfectly fine and normal, and that's the way 222 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.240 that it should be an administration. That elections have consequences, and an administration 223 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:26.599 should be able to come in and make changes. But they can't change something 224 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:32.920 to where the law has ceased to be followed. So if the law is 225 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:38.720 to secure the border, the administration could certainly change things that were being done 226 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.119 to enforce it and try new things, change them, so long as the 227 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:55.200 underlying intent of following the enforcing the law doesn't change. But see that's not 228 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.960 what happens. And so there's a SoundBite here. This is my orca. 229 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:07.160 This goes back. It was retweeted a couple of days ago by Libby Emmons 230 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:14.000 of the Post Millennial. But this, this post, this, this conversation, 231 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.559 these comments that my orcas is making. These were back, I believe, 232 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.960 in March and March twenty first of twenty twenty one. So the administration 233 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.640 had only been in office for what six weeks roughly at this point. And 234 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:36.279 remember remember remember the context here is that you know, new administration comes in. 235 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.880 The border was in much better shape at this particular time, just like 236 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.480 the economy was at this particular time, because they hadn't had a chance yet 237 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:51.920 to put their fingerprints on it and undermine what had happened. The things that 238 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.839 we're working in a positive since now we were we were coming through the COVID 239 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:02.000 situation. Now that was a difference in animal altogether. That that was a 240 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:11.119 situation where the economy was in turmoil because of a government's response to well to 241 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.519 the coronavirus, to COVID nineteen. And that's a whole nother Obviously, that's 242 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.519 multiple shows that we could talk about that, but we're not going to do 243 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.839 that today. I want to stay here specifically on the border. But if 244 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:29.240 you listen to what my work is is talking about, he's talking about changing 245 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:37.960 things, taking action as part of the new administration to implement border security changes. 246 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.119 And so now he's acting as though and Biden as well, they're acting 247 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.440 as though they can't do anything. They can't do anything about border security. 248 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:52.160 Unlus Congress passes a law. There was no law passed in twenty twenty one, 249 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.880 when the administration took these actions, when the administration was giving this advice 250 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.440 to people that were coming to the United States, they did this on their 251 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.480 own. If they did this on their own, they can undo this on 252 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:12.240 their own. If they undid Trump's policies executive actions on the border, they 253 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.200 can redo those. And of course it would stand to reason that if the 254 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:25.319 changes they made led to negative impact along the southern border, if they simply 255 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.880 undo the changes they made and go back to what Trump had done and his 256 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:33.519 administration had put into place, it stands to reason that the situation along the 257 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:41.519 border would seem to eventually, over time reflect what was on what the conditions 258 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.599 and so forth were when Trump were was in office. But here's my work 259 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.640 is. I want you to listen to this because remember today, the whole 260 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.400 argument is we can't do anything. This is up to Congress to fix. 261 00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.039 But listen to all the things that they're saying here, all the advice, 262 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:03.160 all the changes, all of the action that again coming out of the Trump 263 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.799 administration. There was no new law about the border here. They were doing 264 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.680 all of this on their own. I just want you to listen to this. 265 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:18.519 This is important in but a few years. We already have designed an 266 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.240 innovative program to bring people in through the ports of entry of those here that 267 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.319 most acutely in need by reason of the fact that they have been remaining in 268 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:34.680 Mexico for so long. And that's a swipe at Trump's remain in Mexico policy. 269 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:41.000 So they're already they've already changed some things for people to be able to 270 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:42.799 come in so that the people that have been in Mexico for too long, 271 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.920 so that was a change, or told that they can't do anything. They 272 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.920 can't take any action to stop what's happening at the border because they need a 273 00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:53.960 new law. There was no law that allowed them to make these changes. 274 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.759 But then these changes made things demonstrably worse, he continues, already begun to 275 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.559 en implemented. We are progressing every single day. I don't have a particular 276 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.839 timeline, but all I can do is communicate both to the American public and 277 00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:14.839 to the individual seeking protection that we are working around the clock, seven days 278 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.799 a week to make that timeframe as short as possible. But they need to 279 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.200 wait. But they need to wait with a particular goal in mind. We 280 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.000 are not saying don't come. We are saying, don't come now of this, 281 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:32.839 because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them 282 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.359 as quickly as possible. It sure doesn't sound like it. This was three 283 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:41.480 years ago. By the way, they'll be able to give them a safe 284 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:48.200 and orderly process as quickly as possible. They have given us pure pandemonium along 285 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.240 the border. They took these actions along with many others. This is just 286 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:57.640 him defending well anime. Anytime you hear them say, can't do anything, 287 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.160 not that I can do about it. What am I supposed to do? 288 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.440 Congress has to act. Anytime you hear them say that, just remember these 289 00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:08.640 words. These are all things that they did. They turned everything Trump did 290 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.640 on his head. They took a total of sixty four that we have sixty 291 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:21.079 four or sixty five actions as this administration. They took executive actions to make 292 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:29.920 changes along how we handled illegal immigration, border security. They undid the things 293 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:36.240 that were working. They implemented their ridiculous concepts ideas, and we have pure 294 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:45.079 pandemonium as a result. So they are right to impeach my orcis, and 295 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:52.880 they would be right too to impeach Biden here. Of course, that's another 296 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.920 topic altogether. We've had Tony Bobolenski who just gave a testimony in Congress. 297 00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:00.119 We'll talk about that on the other side of the break too, but that's 298 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:07.720 pertaining to the alleged pay to play sort of scandal here that the well President 299 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.640 Bribery, Vice President Bribery at the time was allegedly engaged in during his time 300 00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:19.000 as vice president. But anyway, total total mess, total total corruption, 301 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:26.960 total and absolute disregard for law and order, for truth, for doing the 302 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.759 right thing. That's what we're seeing on full display each and every day in 303 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:38.839 this administration. Quick time out my friends back in just a minute with my 304 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.480 friends. All of this talk about Secretary of my orc is being in peace 305 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.079 reminded me of just the need to make sure we just stay on top of 306 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:56.920 the developments in regards to Biden's potential impeachment in the House of Representatives. And 307 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.319 we'll do that here in just a minute. But before we do that, 308 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.759 let me tell you a little bit about our friends at Harvard Gold Group. 309 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:11.359 Folks, did you know that since nineteen seventy one, Gold has outpoormed outperformed 310 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.359 the S and P five hundred and the dow That, of course was the 311 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.519 year that the US took the dollar off of what was known as the gold 312 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:26.039 standard, And we have to ask ourselves, is that a coincidence? When 313 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:32.920 the US allowed US government, specifically, when they allowed and yes that's the 314 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:38.160 word, people to own gold again, they reclassified gold as a commodity rather 315 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:44.440 than a paper currency backstop. Even though the US itself holds and holds the 316 00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.559 highest amounts of physical gold in its own reserves, all countries, all central 317 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:56.960 banks, all major institutions, and even the IMF itself owned substantial gold holdings. 318 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:03.000 If all of these entities that control our fiat paper money system, if 319 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.480 they have physical gold, doesn't it make sense to consider having some yourself. 320 00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:12.039 Well, you're in luck, my friends. You can talk to the experts 321 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:18.000 at Harvard Gold Group about this. Their website is Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. 322 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.039 You can use my name Todd and get a two hundred fifty dollars credit if 323 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:29.880 you decide to do business with the folks at Harvard Goldgroup. But Harvardgoldgroup dot 324 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.640 com is the website. Promo code Todd will get you a two one hundred 325 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:40.200 and fifty dollars credit. So just a little bit of an update before we 326 00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.519 move on. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this headline. 327 00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:49.759 Here Joe Biden quote enabled families, shady overseas business dealings, Hunter Biden 328 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:57.200 former business associate to the House, So Tony Bobolinsky, which if you've followed 329 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.880 the laptop scandal, or if you've read Miranda Divine's book Laptop from Hell, 330 00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:15.599 you will know the name Tony Bobolinski. And he testified testified on Tuesday hind 331 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:22.920 Closed Doors and this Biden impeachment inquiry. In his opening statement, he said 332 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.680 that he was happy for Americans to finally hear the facts and the evidence that 333 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.599 he has been trying to outline for over four years, all backed up and 334 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:40.119 supported by emails, texts, documents, records, pictures, and other evidence, 335 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:48.759 adding that these facts are quote important to excuse me for America's national security. 336 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.359 So he said this in his testimony. I want to be crystal clear 337 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.519 from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it 338 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:03.440 is clear to me again Tony boble Lin's that Joe Biden was quote the brand 339 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:10.519 being sold by the Biden family, and he continued to say his family's foreign 340 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:15.079 influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere, sold out to foreign actors 341 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.680 who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States 342 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.960 government. So that gives you the flavor of the of the testimony. Again, 343 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.160 this is in the stack of stuff if you want to check it out 344 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.440 yourself. But that's just a little bit of an update. I know that 345 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.160 there's so many things going on. We've got Trump's trials, We've got the 346 00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.480 primary process in general, We've got Super Tuesday not too far away South Carolina, 347 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.559 of course, we got a lot of things that are relevant here now. 348 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.559 We've got Secretary of Majorcis who's been impeached. We've got this piece of 349 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:53.000 legislation, which I want to talk about next because there's some troubling things in 350 00:31:53.039 --> 00:32:00.880 this legislation. Senate passes passes a bill designed to to well give all these 351 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:07.960 other countries money while not doing anything for our border, which again which again 352 00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:15.400 I mean, folks, the power to act on our border lays primarily at 353 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.359 this particular point. As I've laid out previously, this program and else other 354 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:24.559 times throughout the last several weeks and months, this lies solely with the Biden 355 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:30.319 administration. It's actually precisely why Alejandro Mayorcis is being impeached, because he's not 356 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.720 doing the things that are right there that the wall basically expects and requires for 357 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:40.440 him to secure that border. He's playing games, he's pretending like he can't 358 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:46.640 do anything, when in reality he and this administration have un undone so much 359 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:51.480 of what Trump did to secure that border in the first place. So, 360 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.480 but I want to shift gears and talk a little bit about this Ukraine funding, 361 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:01.119 Israel funding, all these other folks that are getting funding here besides besides 362 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.640 the southern border. So we'll talk about that on the other side of the 363 00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.720 break, because I think there's some things in this that matter to us as 364 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:12.279 well. Lots of cover here, I know, se tight my friends back 365 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:27.720 in just a minute, and welcome back, my friends. So let's look 366 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:34.160 here. Let's look here at this bill that has been passed by the US 367 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:39.200 Senate. Let's take a look at this. Let's talk about what well, 368 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:47.480 let's see what is potentially on the horizon from this. So immediately, immediately, 369 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.359 we have to recognize that the Senate in a what's seventy to twenty nine 370 00:33:52.440 --> 00:34:00.599 vote past this piece of legislation that we're gonna in general refer to the Ukraine 371 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:07.319 Funding Bill, which honestly is what the is what the original version of this 372 00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:08.800 bill. If you go back in time a couple of weeks when they were 373 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:13.639 trying to tell us it was a border security bill, it was still primarily 374 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.719 a Ukraine funding bill. The total value of the bill I'm going for memory 375 00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:21.360 here, not the one that just passed. The one that just passed, 376 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:28.079 is something like the past the Senate is something like ninety five billion dollars something 377 00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.880 like that. I'd have to look close to that. The original bill was 378 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:37.880 one hundred and eighteen billion, and they called it a border security bill, 379 00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:44.519 but as we as we pointed out on here, only one what was it, 380 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:50.840 one sixth of the total budget was designated for actual border security. Everything 381 00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:58.519 else was going basically outside the country. So one of those line items, 382 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:05.360 if you will, was a Ukraine funding line item. And so I believe 383 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.519 the Ukraine funding line item was I think it was half of the original bill. 384 00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:13.079 Now I don't know exactly what it is here. I'm guessing it's around 385 00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.760 that vicinity, still sixty billion. I'm guessing I'd have to look, but 386 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.480 that's this This again is the same, it's the same general bill. They 387 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:24.760 just took the the part about the border security out. So but this is 388 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:34.360 not that there's problems with this bill number one, number one. It there 389 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:43.039 is the issue of, of course, adding to deficit spending for things that 390 00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:49.760 at least we can argue about how much these are of that these are interests 391 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:53.599 in America's best interest to especially the fund. You know, America can have 392 00:35:53.679 --> 00:36:00.159 an interest, but then say it's not something we should be funding America and 393 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.400 have an interest on the world stage, and say we should give a little 394 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:07.239 funding, a little direction, a little something. It's not good if this 395 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.800 is the case. You know, if Russia starts to become the Soviet Union 396 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:16.079 and begins to expand, triggering heaven only knows, world War three, if 397 00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:22.679 they attack a NATO country. So obviously there's concern that there are interests there 398 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:27.599 that matter to the United States. But does that mean that we fund them, 399 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.519 and does that mean that we fund them without really a whole lot of 400 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.400 debate. You're not even allowed to ask about this stuff, all right, 401 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.000 Oz, will tell me send me on a regular basis. Just here's another 402 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.840 a couple of billion for Ukraine. Here and there. I mean, it's 403 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:45.119 it's everywhere. It's a ton of money. And again by raising the question, 404 00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:52.199 it doesn't mean that you're against Ukraine or anything like that. It can 405 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.880 mean that, but it doesn't necessarily mean it. We just are these the 406 00:36:55.880 --> 00:37:01.159 things that are the most pressing needs for our government, especially when we have 407 00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:06.960 an open border, especially when we have reports of terrorists coming in this nation 408 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.599 across that border. So that's the first thing. The second thing is the 409 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.159 second thing is there is a report from Senator jd Vance, Republican from Ohio. 410 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:22.760 He sent on a memo and this is interesting. He wrote this in 411 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.239 a mimo and this is at pjmedia dot com. Back in twenty nineteen, 412 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.960 Democrats articulated a novel theory of impeachment based on Trump's refusal to spend money from 413 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:39.440 the USAI Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Five years after impeaching Trump for refusing to 414 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:45.480 spend money on Ukraine, they have drafted a new law that again requires Trump 415 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.559 to spend money on Ukraine if he negotiates an end to the war. Now, 416 00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:51.079 this is the part that's important to understand. And I'm rushing because I'm 417 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:57.440 up against the break as he promised to do. They will undoubtedly argue that 418 00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.280 he has broken the law. This new law that has passed the Senate now 419 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.519 that's trying to get through the House. We are nearly a year away from 420 00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:08.400 an election that could give Trump the presidency, and Ukraine obsessed Republicans have already 421 00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:14.440 given the Democrats a predicate to impeach him. So he's calling this an impeachment 422 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:19.920 time bomb against Trump. I don't put anything past these jokers. In clown. 423 00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:28.480 Another source in our stack of stuff frames this as making it illegal to 424 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.800 end the war in Ukraine because there's a requirement to spend this money anyway. 425 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:45.000 Got to go along in this segment quick time, not back in a minute, 426 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:47.960 welcome back. Not a lot of time here, but I want to 427 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.960 get this in quickly. Mike. Speaker Mike Johnson says that he is going 428 00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:59.199 to prevent this bill from coming up in the on the House floor, and 429 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.280 there are or there's question as to whether or not he's going to be able 430 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:08.119 to pull this off because because there are, there's a measure that's a little 431 00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.519 complicated to use that we obviously don't have time to go into. But that 432 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:20.280 would allow the House, which would include Democrats and some Republicans to get something 433 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.840 to the floor without his blessing. We will see how this shakes out. 434 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.199 But I've got to go. My friends, have a great day. SDG.
