to the right. Here's your conservative
but not bitter host, Todd Huff rereading's

5
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:41.520
my friends, and welcome to today's
episode of The Todd Huff Show, America's

6
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.520
home for conservative not bitter Talk.
I am your host, the aforementioned Todd

9
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.359
also hit those or hit me up. I should say it three one seven,

10
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:03.079
two one zero twenty eight. And
I appreciate hearing from you. Do

11
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.560
my best to get back as quickly
as possible. Hope you had a great

12
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.239
a great weekend. And so of
course here we are Monday. You know

13
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.400
how it works. On Monday,
we typically have a barrage. This is

14
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.200
normal, by the way, a
barrage of things that I want to get

15
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:26.239
through, I catch up on and
kind of I guess frame up here as

16
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:32.799
we enter this new week. I
want to start I actually want to start

17
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.760
with a couple of well, let
me just mention off the top. I

18
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.439
don't want to spend a lot of
time on this, but I do want

19
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.359
to share this off the top.
You may have seen this. I'm looking

20
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:56.000
here at a Fox News article Republicans
flip Democrat held Louisiana governor's seat in first

21
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:05.319
major contest ahead of the twenty twenty
for elections. So Louisiana is an interesting

22
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:13.039
state politically. Louisiana is a state
that is reliably read on the national front,

23
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:19.439
or at least presidential voting. It's
you know, a Trump state,

24
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.800
a red state, and you know, winning for Republicans on the national level

25
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.560
seems to be a consistent reality there, but on the state wide level,

26
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.759
it's a little bit different story.
In fact, they've had a Democrat governor

27
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:40.800
named John Bell Edwards who has recently
reached his term limit as governor in the

28
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:49.120
great State of Louisiana, and he
well, the Republican has been voted in

29
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.719
to replace John Bell Edwards. That
happened. This was again, Look,

30
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.719
I don't know how much to put
into this. Some people black like this

31
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:06.120
is a Bellweather of things to come. No pun intended, given that he

32
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:13.240
is replacing John Bill Edwards. But
this is something that happened over the weekend

33
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:20.199
on Saturday, and there were multiple
candidates, and since typically well in these

34
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:25.479
elections, depending upon the state,
someone has to reach fifty percent or there

35
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.719
will be a runoff with the top
two candidates. Jeff Landry, the Attorney

36
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:39.599
General in Louisiana, actually reached that
threshold and has won and will be the

37
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.199
governor of that state. Again,
I don't want to put too much into

38
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.360
this, but I also don't want
to just blow it off either, because

39
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:55.520
who ultimately knows when you come down
to it, who ultimately knows if this

40
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:04.719
is something that we can extrapolate and
actually begin to apply to a larger scale.

41
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.759
I also want to mention off the
top now. I want to wait

42
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.879
on that. I want to talk
a little bit later about Jim Jordan's nomination

43
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:17.040
to be Speaker of the House.
I want to kind of give you an

44
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.800
update on that where that may be
potentially heading. That's an interesting scenario as

45
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.319
as well. But I want to
wait on that because I want to really

46
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.560
start with Israel and what is happening
in Gaza. So we know you know

47
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:43.439
by now that Israel is preparing for
a ground invasion of Gaza. Israel has

48
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.680
basically made it clear from the beginning, and I've got a lot of stuff

49
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.519
in the stack of stuff on the
website toddebshow dot com if you want to

50
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.000
check it out. But Israel has
made it very clear pretty much from the

51
00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.639
beginning of this that they are not
going to be negotiating with terrorists, they

52
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.560
are not going to be negotiating with
Hamas. They are interested in eradicating this

53
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:15.759
evil from Gaza. And so Israel
has taken several steps including by the way,

54
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.920
now the left wants you to believe
that Israel is in the business of

55
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:26.759
running an apartheid state. The left
and the media wants you to believe that

56
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.959
Israel is trying to exterminate the Palestinians. What Israel is trying to do.

57
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.720
That, by the way, is
completely and utterly false. What Israel is

58
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:42.319
trying to do is to eradicate Gaza
of terrorists. That's what Israel is trying

59
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:48.000
to do. And they have taken
every conceivable reasonable step to do this in

60
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:56.639
a way that will limit any casualties
of people who are not part of Hamas.

61
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:02.319
Now we know that Hamas was the
elected representationation, the elected representatives of

62
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:08.800
the Palestinian people in Gaza. We
know that they have won. That polling

63
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.959
has well, we're elected to be
the representative. Polling shows that fifty seven

64
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:21.279
percent of Palestinians admit to supporting Hamas. So that means at least forty three

65
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:28.879
percent may not support them or not, you know, maybe somewhat or not

66
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.759
at all, But only fifty seven
percent, I say only that's a significant

67
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.600
number. But there's just a little
less than half of the people that don't.

68
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:43.360
Let say that they don't necessarily just
outright support Hamas. Now that's still

69
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.600
problematic. I'm not just I'm not
just glossing over that. But Israel.

70
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.800
Israel has said, look, we
are in the business of eradicating the leadership

71
00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:00.519
of Hamas. And so once this
once this terrorist attack was long lunched on

72
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:06.040
the people of Israel, Israel has
been very consistent on this. They've said

73
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:12.199
enough, they don't care how much
the media sympathizes and empathizes with Hamas and

74
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:17.040
with terrorists. So Israel said,
we are going to go in and eradicate

75
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:26.199
this. They eradicate them from Gaza
with every resource that we have. And

76
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.920
so they've done some strikes, They've
done some missile strikes, some targeted strikes,

77
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:36.439
and so forth. And we know
unequivocally, without question Hamas tries they

78
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:46.639
literally try to ensure that there are
civilian deaths. They use their people as

79
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:54.639
human shields. Israel is trying to
use laser light precision to avoid that.

80
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.439
Israel says, get the human shields
out of the way. We're coming for

81
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:05.199
you. Hamas. You pick this
fight now, let's have it. You

82
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.600
want to eradicate us, you want
to wipe us off the face of the

83
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:15.399
planet. We have played games with
you long enough. The time for measured

84
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.120
response is over. We are going
to eradicate you. And so they've cut

85
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.680
off the water, they've cut off
the electricity, They've of course got an

86
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:33.480
embargo around Gaza, and they are
preparing to send in massive amounts of troops.

87
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.679
And this is probably not going to
be a pretty situation even for the

88
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:46.639
Israel. Israelis going into a highly
densely populated area that is known to have

89
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:54.480
an advanced, complicated, intricate tunnel
system. Whether are hostages that have been

90
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:05.240
taken from Israel is going to be
a very violent inch by inch eradication of

91
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.399
the terrorist rats that are in Gaza. That is what is going to happen.

92
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.879
Israel has dropped leaflets, they have
warned the people, get everyone out

93
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.519
of here. I think I think
initially Friday, late in the day I

94
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:28.360
saw that they said everyone needs to
evacuate by I think they said twenty four

95
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:35.200
hours at first. But basically they've
been letting the people, the people who

96
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.080
are not part of Hamas. By
the way, fifty seven percent of them,

97
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.000
of the people that they are letting
out of Gaza, according to polling,

98
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.759
are supportive of Hamas, So this
isn't even They're not even doing anything

99
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.200
with the people who are supporting Hamas, who think that Hamas is the right

100
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.360
form of leadership. All Israel cares
about is eradicating the people who are actually

101
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.559
doing the terroristic planning, the people
who are actually launching and lobbing missiles into

102
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:13.360
Israel, the people who actually went
in to kill and kidnap and torture and

103
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:20.720
rape women, kill children, including
babies. Israel says we are going to

104
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:26.200
get them. So they've alerted the
people in Palestine to get out. They've

105
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.039
said get out because we're coming in. The time for games is over,

106
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.960
the time for whatever the media around
the world thinks is the appropriate response,

107
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.840
the proportionate response, which whatever the
heck that's supposed to mean. I've got

108
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.200
a clip about that. By the
way, that time permitting, I would

109
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.399
like to get to. But Israel
has said, enough enough of this.

110
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.399
We are going in and we are
going to fix this problem once and for

111
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.320
all as best we can. And
so they're preparing for that. They've alerted

112
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:05.039
the people in Palestine or excuse me, in Gazza, the Palestinians there,

113
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.679
and they have been leaving the area
of Gaza. And on top of that,

114
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:16.759
according to the Israeli Defense Forces,
Hamas was actively trying to keep the

115
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:24.759
Palestinians from exiting the country, well
from exiting Gaza when they were going south.

116
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.720
So you've got Israel who, the
media, who, the anti Semites

117
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.440
in Congress, the aocs, the
Rashida Talibs, the elon Omars, those

118
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.200
folks, the folks that tell you
constantly that Israel is engaged in an apartheid

119
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.279
state or whatever else, whatever other
nonsense that they're coming up with. They

120
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.720
want to blame Israel for this.
Israel is the one who is telling the

121
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.360
people of Gaza to leave. Hamas
is trying to keep them from leaving.

122
00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:01.360
Hamas views them as disposable people that
are human shields. How any, folks,

123
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.879
I am a very understanding individual.
I understand that there are people who

124
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.720
have different ways of looking at the
world, and there's commonly conversations I'll have

125
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.559
where I'll think this person's way wrong
on this. But hey, okay,

126
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.200
fine, there's nothing I can do
about that. I do not I do

127
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:26.440
not understand. This is not complicated. This is incredibly simple. And for

128
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.639
those for those who act like this
is a I can see it both ways

129
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:39.279
sort of discussion, absolutely, unequivocally, without any hesitation in my voice.

130
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:46.440
No, that is completely absurd and
ridiculous. Now, again, if we

131
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.720
want to take a step back and
look at the conflict and the discussion about

132
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.399
land and everything. Okay, but
when you understand the history of this,

133
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.720
what has gone on in that region, taking Hamas out of it for a

134
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.039
second, just looking at the argument
over whose land is, who's and all

135
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:11.679
this stuff. Israel has tried and
tried and tried and tried and tried five

136
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:18.519
times. Five times. They agreed
to land for peace deals every single time

137
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.600
the Palestinians rejected it. Hamas's charter, as I've said before, as you

138
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:31.120
know, calls for the annihilation,
the complete annihilation of the state of Israel.

139
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.000
They want to push them into the
sea. They want them to be

140
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.759
dead, they want them to not
exist. There is no Folks, we

141
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.480
can have discussions on how land should
be partitioned, but there is no Hamas

142
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.480
side of this. There is absolutely
none. They are terrorists, they are

143
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:56.639
evil. They started this. Israel
has every right to defend itself. How

144
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.120
anyone cannot state this clearly, I
have any sort of moral equivocation here.

145
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.080
They are unfit to be a leader. I don't care of a local little

146
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.080
league, basketball, tea or or
whatever. This is morally completely clear and

147
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:20.639
easy to see, and it is
offensive to people who actually care about good

148
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.879
and evil, siding with good,
fighting against the evil that exists in the

149
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:33.120
world today. It is maddening to
watch people weak, need knee knocking,

150
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.480
afraid to come out and stand on
the side of truth, obvious truth.

151
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:45.440
It's absolutely, absolutely despicable to me, one hundred percent, not even ninety

152
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.879
nine percent. And again I feel
like I am more than willing to understand

153
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.080
people, I don't understand this.
It is weakness. It is a lack

154
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.480
of character, It is a lack
of maybe understanding, I suppose, but

155
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:07.440
don't be said saying things about these
things being morally equivalent with information that's incomplete.

156
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.759
Israel is not perfect, but Israel
is one hundred percent in the right

157
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:18.200
here. They absolutely are, and
so the battle lines have been drawn.

158
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.519
I want to talk about this a
little bit more next segment. I also

159
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.759
want to get to a Speaker of
the House update. This is going to

160
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.919
get interesting, and there's other things
in the news as well. Time permitting,

161
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:35.080
we will get to including Wisconsin's state
representative. This is just a state

162
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.200
representative, not someone in Washington,
d C. Someone in the state House

163
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:46.039
of Wisconsin who actually got on the
floor of the state House and said that

164
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.000
women who lose to biological males just
need to work harder. That's how you

165
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.399
fix that problem. My friends,
Delusion abounds in this country. Fortunately you

166
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:02.039
have tuned into a place where we
can collectively fight back against the nonsense.

167
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.600
My friends, you're listening here to
conservative not better talk. I am your

168
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:15.120
host, Tad huff back in a
minute. Welcome back, my friends.

169
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.639
So just want to go through a
little bit more here with the situation with

170
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:26.159
Israel and what's happening in Gaza.
We've talked about Israel preparing for the ground

171
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.200
invasion. We've talked about Israel making
it abundantly clear as they should, they're

172
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:40.279
not negotiating with Hamas. Israel also
doesn't care about proportionality. This is just

173
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:45.279
a dumb thing to say. Anyway. Let's see Hamas came in Israel and

174
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:52.279
they raped and murdered and kidnapped x
percent of your people. So in response,

175
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.320
you can do the same. What
on earth? You know? What

176
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.600
is the appropriate way, apropriate way
to think about this is what is the

177
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.640
response required? What is the response
that is necessary and justifiable that says that

178
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:12.079
will not happen again, That's what
we should think about. Shouldn't be there

179
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:18.599
counting, you know, like if
you buy gifts for family members that I've

180
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.680
got family members like this, I
mean, they get it down to the

181
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:25.599
penny. They buy presents for the
kids at Christmas and they're like to the

182
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.960
nearest dollar, They're like, hey, I spent I mean exactly the same,

183
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.599
right, it's proportionate. Everything is
equal to which I sometimes asked,

184
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:38.119
well, what if something was on
sale, something was on clearance. I

185
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.880
mean, did you buy something and
get a once in a lifetime deal.

186
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.279
I mean all these things. But
anyway, I understand where they're coming from.

187
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.680
I'm just sating I don't understand this
proportional response. Your job is to

188
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.039
defend your people. It's not to
be proportionate that these are the things that

189
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.759
liberals and leftists come up with.
Well, the appropriate thing to do here

190
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:02.400
is to sunday no. No,
there's no sinning of messages. They're stopping

191
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:08.920
of terrorism. There is ending the
threat, the existential threat that exists against

192
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:15.319
your people that you have been that
you are responsible for providing national defense for.

193
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:22.759
That is what the job is of
the leadership in Israel and of the

194
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:27.759
Israeli military, the IDF. So
we've got that going on. We get

195
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.880
the US of course sending what is
it, the USS gerald R Ford over

196
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:40.960
to the Mediterranean Sea, and who
knows what will happen beyond that, But

197
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.920
this is what is currently happening.
We've got Israel warning civilians and saying get

198
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.400
out of Gaza. We've got Hamas
trying to keep them in Gaza so as

199
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:57.559
to get as much death and destruction
on their own citizens as possible. That's

200
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.160
what this boils down to. And
again that's why, to me is abundantly

201
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:12.160
clear that there is right and wrong
in this particular situation. We've also found

202
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.079
according to documents, whereas this is
in the stack of stuff as well.

203
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:26.119
Washington Examiner dot com headline Hamas documents
reveal plans to target schools and kidnap children,

204
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.200
according to a report, So we
have that as well, if we

205
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.319
needed needed that. I just last
week I had some knuckleheads on social media.

206
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:38.400
Oh, the stuff about the kids
have been disproven and so forth.

207
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:44.400
Babies weren't beheaded. I mean,
even if let's just for a moment,

208
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.799
let's for a moment say okay,
that that did not happen. They killed

209
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.440
them another way. There were stories
that they were folks. I don't like

210
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.400
to say these things, but again
cover young ears three two one. There's

211
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.720
reports that some were burnt alive.
I mean, is that is that better?

212
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:06.400
What in the world is going on
here? The defense, the defense

213
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:15.359
of the Hamas terrorists by these leftists
shows their blind hatred and rage for what

214
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.480
I would say, for logic,
for God. I'm telling you, the

215
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:23.119
godless radical left I'm not talking to
liberals. I'm not even talking people who

216
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:29.559
want to have an under disagreement on
what you know, Palestinian land, Israel,

217
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.759
Israeli land. How can we partition
this up the people that would be

218
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.440
at least reasonable, that would not
reject any offer that has been provided by

219
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:42.440
the Israelis over the past whatever it
is, seven since nineteen forty eight.

220
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:49.920
So anyway, this is this is
where, this is where we are.

221
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.640
This is where we are. We've
got the media sympathizing with Hamas terrorists.

222
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:02.640
That's in the stack of stuff as
well. It's posted by newsmasts news excuse

223
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.400
me, NewsBusters, NewsBusters dot org. I'm going to read you a couple

224
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.480
of these. I'm not going to
play the clips. This lunatic on MSNBC

225
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.640
Velshi is his last name, what
is his first name? Ali Velshi on

226
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.160
October seventh said that there is nuance
to understanding these terrorist attacks against Israel.

227
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.160
That's one of the favorite words and
phrases of the left. Oh there's nuance.

228
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.279
Oh it's so sophisticated and complicated.
We got to get to this,

229
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:38.200
We got to get really deep into
it to understand why. I guess why.

230
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:45.599
It's necessary to permit, excuse,
allow Hamas to engage in terrorism against

231
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.799
Israeli's citizens. Call me crazy,
my friends, but that's a big,

232
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:55.079
fat no, unequivocally no. It's
evil and wicked. We don't need to

233
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.160
understand any nuance. It is pure
evil sent from the pits of hell.

234
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:06.720
Velshi La Times reporter said this the
only source for quote Hamas. Here we

235
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.559
go cover young ears. The Hamas
beheaded baby story appears to be the Israeli

236
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.480
military, which is widely known to
spread lies and disinformation journalists. This is

237
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.920
the fog of war. This was
a tweet by an investigative reporter named al

238
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:29.960
Adam Amarek. You'll be seeing,
he writes, all sorts of claims.

239
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:37.039
Don't amplify unverified sensational info. Just
to be clear, they think that the

240
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.000
propagandists in this war are the Israelis
and not Hamas, not the terrorists,

241
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:49.720
not the ones who are hoping for
video footage of women and children and civilian

242
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:56.000
suffering so that they can blame Israel. There's several others, several other stupid

243
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.839
things that these journalists have said.
There's nine. I've read two of them.

244
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:06.200
That leaves seven in case there's a
Bernie Sanders Democrat Socialist of America listener

245
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.720
tuned in today that wanted to help
you out with that. Matt, take

246
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.119
it easy. I'm just playing.
I am a little bit. I mean

247
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.519
it's true too. But you can
see those on the stack of stuff.

248
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.039
Take a time out here. When
I get back, I do want to

249
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.680
play this one more thing. I
want to play this British author. He

250
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:30.000
was being interviewed on a British media
site, news station, I should say,

251
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:37.119
and he was talking about this proportional
response thing which is out there in

252
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.799
the media. Israel's coming in too
hard. By the way I saw,

253
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:45.160
fifty percent of Democrats think that Israel
has already gone too far in their response

254
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:52.079
to Gaza, to the terrorists that
have attacked them from Gaza, what a

255
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:57.359
clown show of Their job is to
stop it. Their job is to find

256
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:02.559
out the people who think that they
can get away with this and eliminate them.

257
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:04.920
That is their job, and that's
what they're gonna do, and that's

258
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.640
exactly what they should do, no
matter what the media says, no matter

259
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:15.279
what the Democrat Party says. Timeouts
in order, though, I'll play that.

260
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.640
On the other side of the break. My friends, sit tight back

261
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:33.279
here in just a minute. Welcome
back, my friend. So I want

262
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:40.240
to play this sound byde here.
This is an author, a British author

263
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:52.920
and journalist named Douglas Murray. He's
on a talk show here in Britain talking

264
00:24:53.119 --> 00:25:00.039
about the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the
Israeli response, and I want you to

265
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.119
listen to this. I want you
to listen to how she sets this up,

266
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.240
and I want you to listen to
his response, because this is exactly

267
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:12.480
right. All this talk a proportional
response and making sure you do enough but

268
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:18.279
not too much. How about we
just trying to focus on stopping the terrorism

269
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:25.000
that's being exported by Hamas from Gaza
here. It is the siege of Gaza,

270
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.440
cutting off all supplies of fuel,
the electric lost electricity plant that's gone,

271
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.799
there's no electricity, there's no running
water, there is no food going

272
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.920
in there, no other fuel supplies
going in. Borders closed that Egypt as

273
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:41.640
well. There's only little criticism of
Egypt for that. Interestingly is that and

274
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.519
while raining down missiles on buildings which
they know are going to kill civilians,

275
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.640
we know hundreds and hundreds Ofvilians have
already died, many of them children.

276
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:56.960
Is that a reasonable proportionate and moral
response? Price portionate and moral? There

277
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:03.319
is some deep perversion in whenever Israel
is involved in a conflict, and it

278
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.920
is the word you just used,
proportion proportionate, proportionality. Only Britain is

279
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:14.880
really obsessed with this. I have
heard it for the last few days incessantly.

280
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:21.640
Proportionality and conflict rarely exists. But
if we were to decide that we

281
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.559
should have this fetish about proportionality,
then that would mean that in retaliation for

282
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:32.920
what Hamaz did in Israel on Saturday, Israel should try to locate a music

283
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.559
festival in Gaza, for instance,
and good luck with that. Should try

284
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.480
to find a music festival in Gaza
and rape precisely the number of women that

285
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:48.160
Hamaz raped on Saturday, kill precisely
the number of young people that Hamas killed

286
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:53.119
on Saturday. They should find a
town of exactly the same size as a

287
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.759
town like Starot, where I've been
many times myself, and make sure they

288
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.839
go to door to door and kill
precisely the correct number of babies that Hamas

289
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.039
killed in Steoft on Saturday, and
shooting the head precisely the same number of

290
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.640
old age pensioners as were shot in
st On Saturday, just to choose one

291
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:18.920
town. Proportionality and conflict is a
joke and it's a very strange British concept

292
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.640
which we've had that only the Israelis
in the conflict, when they are attacked

293
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:30.640
are expected to have precisely the proportionate
response. And that's right. Well,

294
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.880
other than the fact it's not just
in it's not just in Britain. This

295
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:41.680
comes up, so this comes up
in any sort of leftist sort of outpost

296
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:48.799
media outposts, and it's from it's
it's created by people who fundamentally have a

297
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:56.200
problem with the existence of Israel.
They have a hatred for the nation of

298
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.680
Israel. They don't like the idea
of there being a Jewish state. They

299
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:07.200
are either uninformed or misinformed as to
the history that exists in regards to land

300
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.599
in the region. They have no
understanding or concern I guess, or again

301
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.759
they're either misinformed or uninformed as to
who we are actually dealing with when we

302
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.599
deal with Hamas. These are actual
terrorists. These are people who have in

303
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:30.519
their founding document, in their charter, have written this is I put this

304
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:37.680
a link to this in last week's
column. That would have been what October.

305
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.000
I don't know what that would have
been. That would have been the

306
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.759
eleventh I think if you go back
and look, there's a link and you

307
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:49.599
can see you can see phrases pulled
from the Hamas Charter that call for the

308
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:56.720
destruction of the Jewish state, that
call for the removal of Jews from every

309
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:04.240
inch of land that is known as
Israel or Palestine or whatever someone wants to

310
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.480
call it. They say they don't
have a right to exist there. They

311
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:15.640
are defending this holy land as the
holy land of Muslims, and they will

312
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:19.440
not allow for the Jewish state to
exist there. They will annihilate and destroy

313
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.759
them. That is what they have
written. That is what they have signed.

314
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:29.920
That is akin to their declaration of
independence. Albeit it's the polar opposite

315
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.160
of the declaration of independence. It's
the polar opposite of the Constitution. It

316
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:40.920
is not rooted upon goodness and decency
and foundational truths. Is built upon lies

317
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.599
and hatred and manipulation and wickedness and
evil. That is what it is built

318
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:52.799
upon. And this gentleman is correct
in his response to these, Well,

319
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.640
this is one lunatic journalist, but
the lunatic journalists can be lined up around

320
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:03.160
the world talking about the same stupid
things, posing the same stupid questions,

321
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:10.839
talking about things like proportionality and so
forth. What was the proportion that Hamas

322
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.559
should have used? Has anyone asked
that question? The proportion of was that

323
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.559
proportional? Right? Was it proportional
for them to go in and kill one

324
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:25.839
person? Was what do these journalists
think is proportionate? On the Hamas sides,

325
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.559
See, they don't care about that. They do not care. And

326
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.400
for a large number of these people, it's because they have a rabbid hatred

327
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.960
for God and the things of God. They have a rabid hatred of anything

328
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.240
that makes them remotely think of the
Bible and have to come to the realization

329
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:48.480
of that They're gonna have to make
a decision on the truth, the veracity

330
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.640
of the scriptures. They're gonna have
to come to grips with the possibility that

331
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.680
they will one day stand before the
creator of the universe, the God of

332
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.480
the Bible, and give an account. And they don't want anything to do

333
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:06.559
with them. I mean, for
some people it is that simple. They

334
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.640
hate, They want nothing to do
with God, they want nothing to do

335
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.599
with God's people, and if they
had their choice, they would wipe them

336
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:21.559
off the face of the planet,
or at least allow for I guess what

337
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:26.079
else are we supposed to assume here? Hamas has stated this. The media

338
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:32.119
is excusing it, the media is
empathizing with it, sympathizing with it.

339
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:34.279
What else are we supposed to make
of this? And I'm not by the

340
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:40.799
way, I'm not for against the
journalists asking asking questions to understand, to

341
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.480
get to the heart of the issue, to have someone explain from I mean,

342
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:49.759
different perspectives on things, but to
condone and to empathize and to excuse

343
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:59.640
outright stated acts of terrorism is reprehensible
and evil and it needs to be defined

344
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:02.200
as as such a timeout as in
order, my friends sit tight. You're

345
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:07.440
listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, todd Up

346
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:27.799
back in a minute, Welcome back
to my friends. So I want to

347
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:32.119
shift gears here just a little bit. It's actually significant. I want to

348
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:39.880
put this discussion of Israel, Gaza, all this stuff on the back burner

349
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:44.400
for now. I want to mention
two other things. I want to remind

350
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:49.640
you that, according to polling,
fifty percent or just south of fifty percent

351
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:54.960
of Democrats think that Israel has already
done too much in responding to the situation

352
00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:02.279
that Hamas has cause caused in Gaza. And number two DeSantis has made a

353
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:12.160
statement that the US should not accept
any refugees from Gaza, any Palestinian refugees.

354
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.720
So I just want to put those
things out there, and I want

355
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.559
to move on here because I want
to talk briefly in the time that we

356
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:23.960
have remaining. I want to talk
about what is happening in the House of

357
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:30.319
Representatives. So over the weekend or
late last week, it appeared that Steve

358
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:39.160
Scalise might be might be Kevin McCarthy's
replacement. Well, they had meetings behind

359
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.599
closed doors. There were a number
of holdouts. They could not get in

360
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:49.920
the Republican conference. Just the Republicans, right, So you need two hundred

361
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.079
and seven. This is complicated.
You need two hundred and seventeen votes to

362
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.440
become speaker Republicans, what do they
have? Two hundred and twenty I think

363
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.000
is what the current count is is
Republicans in the House. Now. By

364
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:06.200
the way, if they want to
get mad about that, let me remind

365
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:13.000
you that McCarthy was the one running
the House when they were well the Republican

366
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.519
party in the House, when they
were the minority. He was the minority

367
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:20.760
leader of the House of Representatives.
If they don't like the number of Republicans

368
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.880
that won in twenty twenty two,
there should have been many, many more

369
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:30.000
that than did than did win,
then that's something that they should look in

370
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:36.679
the mirror on and wonder and ask
the question why didn't we win more seats?

371
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:42.440
But that's for another day. So
two hundred and twenty Republicans. There's

372
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:47.320
of course some abstentions and people who
are not in Washington, d C.

373
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:53.920
And so they're going behind closed doors
secret ballot trying to get enough people,

374
00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:00.079
trying to get enough people for Steve
Scalise at first to become the speaker.

375
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:07.159
It was clear that there were a
number of holdouts. So Steve Scalise basically

376
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:13.639
withdrew his name from consideration. So
that meant that now Jim Jordan, which

377
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:17.079
by the way, Jim Jordan would
be the best Speaker of the House from

378
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:24.440
a conservative constitutional perspective that we have
had. I would say in modern history,

379
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.599
ever, I would have to.
I mean, John Banner's not it,

380
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:35.400
Kevin McCarthy's not it, it's the
guy. There's another I'm drawn a

381
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:43.960
blank as to the House leader back
early in the early two thousands. Anyway,

382
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:50.360
bottom line, the most conservative and
best option to be a Speaker of

383
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:54.079
the House is Jim Jordan. He's
the one that's got an opportunity to do

384
00:35:54.119 --> 00:36:00.840
this now when they had there was
another individual his name was escaping me at

385
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:09.679
the moment, who was also in
Republican leadership from Georgia. As I'm drawing

386
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:16.559
a blank here, I don't know
why I'm drawing a complete blank. Anyway,

387
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:22.000
he was. He was actually running
through his name in the hat as

388
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:32.639
well. Jordan beat him in the
closed door ballot the runoff. I guess

389
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.599
if you will now neither one.
Yeah, oh, Austin Scott. They're

390
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.440
sorry about that. I just completely
had a brain freeze there for a moment.

391
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.440
So Austin Scott did not well,
he was he was on the ballot

392
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:57.559
Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan actually got
more more votes than did the other individual

393
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.280
from from Georgia. And so now, but it's not enough. It's one

394
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:02.159
hundred and twenty one, actually one
hundred and twenty four on Friday one,

395
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:08.440
twenty four to eighty one voted one
hundred and twenty four voted four eighty one

396
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:14.159
voted against the idea of there being
a speaker Jim Jordan. Now fifty five

397
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:22.719
fifty five Republicans say they are going
to refuse to back Jordan. So now

398
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.480
now we're going to have, potentially, if this makes its way to the

399
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.400
floor, this is going to be
interesting. Republicans are the establishment types are

400
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.320
embarrassed, or at least they want
you to think they're embarrassed. I think

401
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:38.440
that there's something else going on here. I think that if this goes out

402
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:44.400
and the American people see this like
they saw the Kevin McCarthy thing, I

403
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:50.519
believe. I believe these fifty five
folks that are opposing Jim Jordan, when

404
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:54.159
they start getting pressure, are going
to start caving. That's what I think,

405
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:58.320
and I think that's what they don't
want. And so we'll see.

406
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:04.159
There's actually to make matters even worse. As a representative from Alabama who has

407
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:09.599
said he's going to talk with Hakim
Jeffries the Democrats and see if they can

408
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:14.519
possibly strike a deal with him on
becoming Speaker of the House, I don't

409
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.719
think there's any chance of that really
happening. But we are in uncharted waters

410
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.599
in a lot of ways here.
But anyway, I just wanted to share

411
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:22.760
that with you. Out of time
here, quick time out, my friends.
