Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.039 Well, thank you, Glenn for that utterly spectacular introduction. It's a pleasure 6 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.479 to be here today. Email Todd at tod huffshow dot com thoughts, questions, 7 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.679 feedback.

There are plenty of things that we did not 11 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.840 get to yesterday that I want to get to today. Um, but I 12 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.920 kind of want to want to, I guess, intersperse these things because I 13 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.719 think I think they're all connected, not well, depending upon your perspective, 14 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.680 how they're connected to what degree and so forth. But as we move into 15 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:38.920 this primary season, first of all, we have candidates that are qualifying now 16 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:45.519 for the debate, and as of let's see this is USA today. This 17 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:52.239 is dated yesterday. When is the first twenty twenty three Republican debate date? 18 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.400 Start time? Participants in the primary event now? The ones that have qualified 19 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:01.200 todate according to the USA Today include Donald Trump, run De Santist, Tim 20 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.080 Haley, Nicky Haley, Tim Scott, Nicky Haley, v vack Ramaswamy, 21 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.919 Chris Christie, Doug Bergham, and according to a an article that was published 22 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:23.319 I believe yesterday as well at the Epic Times, I believe Perry Johnson. 23 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.800 I think, although it wasn't entirely clear from the article, if he just 24 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.479 met a couple of the criteria, or if he's met all of the criteria, 25 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:38.039 Perry Johnson may be on that debate stage as well. You'll notice that 26 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.599 the name Mike Pence is still not there. I'm not predicting he will not 27 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.400 be there, but nonetheless that is that's the list, and we've got what 28 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.639 one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and 29 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:59.159 Perry Johnson would be number number eight on that debate stage, except the wild 30 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:05.800 card may be that the number one candidates may not be on that debate stage. 31 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.159 And as we mentioned yesterday, he basically is saying, look, I'm 32 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.240 demolishing the field. Everybody knows what has to be done in Washington, d 33 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:23.319 C. There's no point in the Republican Party effectively wasting money on a primary 34 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.039 process when I Donald Trump am the front runner. So what's the point of 35 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.680 this? And he's sending out emails asking people to give their opinions to vote 36 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.840 in a poll. As to sharing their opinions, I should say whether or 37 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:45.080 not he is going to or should be in the in the debates, And 38 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.560 there's a decent possibility, maybe even a likelihood, that he's not going to 39 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.240 show up at the debate. In one sense, what does he have? 40 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.479 What does he have to gain from doing that? What does he have to 41 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.599 gain? He's going to be the target in some way, shape, manner, 42 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.560 or form of everyone. And you could say he's going to be the 43 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:13.120 target regardless. People are going to target him in spite of his current whether 44 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.560 or not he's present on that debate stage or not. But that is what 45 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.079 does he have to gain rights It's almost as though he can only lose from 46 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.040 this, and so it remains to be seen if he will be on the 47 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.759 debate stage. Although we see that Fox News is out there encouraging him to 48 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.720 attend. I, you know, for selfish reasons. I might want him 49 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.079 to attend because I would be much more inclined to watch it. I probably 50 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.240 will watch it anyway, although I don't know. I really don't know, 51 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.319 And it's no disrespect to the people on the stage. I just think that 52 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:59.360 if Trump isn't there, this is really not this is not an event that 53 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:08.920 is I guess focused on talking to the person that's most likely going to be 54 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:15.160 the nominee. So anyway, So that's that's going on out there, And 55 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.360 of course Trump is having his legal battles, which you could say, which 56 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:26.279 I would maintain are a clear side show and distraction. But it's a major 57 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.240 distraction. So he's got that reality to deal with. And there's also the 58 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:41.199 reality of why these or why this this issue has has come up. Why 59 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.319 suddenly do we have all of these indictments of the former president? Why why 60 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.839 is that the case? Is that just is it just coincidental that all of 61 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:57.199 these investigations wrapped up right now, right at the unofficial kickoff of the primary 62 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:02.360 season. Is that really the us likely of scenarios? I would contend that 63 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:08.519 it's not, in fact, when they start trying when Jack Smith, the 64 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.600 Special counsel, starts trying to silence Trump so that he can't talk about this, 65 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.920 because, my friends, if Trump is right, and I'm gonna say 66 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:24.600 if just for the sake of discussion for those who are adamantly vehemently opposed to 67 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.800 the possibility that he is right about any of this, but if Trump is 68 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.639 right, just go with me there for a second. If you can't wrap 69 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:38.800 your head around that completely, Okay, I don't understand that, but I 70 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.360 will be understanding as best I can, And I would say, just try 71 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:49.199 to imagine. Try to imagine a scenario if you were being targeted, or 72 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:53.480 someone that you know, or one of the candidates that you like, was 73 00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:02.279 being targeted, and that candidate truly believed because of well past experience, because 74 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:09.279 of what we've seen on display from the corrupt government that we are living under. 75 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.879 If that candidate believes that he or she is legitimately the target of a 76 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:20.519 political witch hunt, then he has to she would have to be able to 77 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:28.360 defend himself or herself from this. It would be completely relevant for the voting 78 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.360 well for all Americans, but especially for those who are eligible to cast a 79 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.680 vote to be able to vote with that in mind. It seems like a 80 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:46.439 relevant thing that people should be able to discuss and understand and to have the 81 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.720 person who's in the political opposition right now, which is Trump, to be 82 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:57.040 able to articulate his positions. As I mentioned yesterday, Secretary of State Anthony 83 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:03.240 Blincoln sent out a a tone deaf tweet over the weekend. I think it 84 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.839 may have been Friday, last Friday, but he sent out a tone deaf 85 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:13.759 tweet that said basically criticizing the Russian government for convicting the leader of the political 86 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.959 opposition in Russia, saying, the United States wouldn't stand for this that sort 87 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.800 of thing. Meanwhile, meanwhile, we are engaged, this nation is engaged 88 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:31.120 in that very same thing here. Now. Trump could be wrong in his 89 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.960 I'm not saying, for those of you that feel strongly about it, that 90 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.039 he is wrong. I happen to think he's not wrong on this. But 91 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.240 Trump could theoretically, it's logically possible that he is wrong in this, that 92 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.639 he is not being targeted for because he's part of the political opposition, because 93 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.000 they fear him. I think that that's incredibly unlikely, probably like point one 94 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.080 percent or some such thing. Maybe not even that. So, but he's 95 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.200 got the right. That's the point here. He's got the right, and 96 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.720 he should be able to make the case. Hillary Clinton could make the case. 97 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.679 In fact, I saw who was it? Somebody tweeted something and it 98 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.440 said it went through the list of people that have lost elections and it said, 99 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.720 you know, this person lost an election, and then they I think 100 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.600 it dropped the f bomb. But basically, this person lost an election, 101 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.320 left the White House and moved on with life. Let's put it that way. 102 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.360 And it listed Hillary Clinton as an individual who did that, which of 103 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.279 course is not the truth at all, and also mentioned Albert al Gore. 104 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.200 Al Gore did not do that as well. Al Gore challenged and I look, 105 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.960 I think he had the right to do that. He had the right 106 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:52.960 to challenged the Florida election. They tried to fight it in court and they 107 00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:03.600 lost that that case, and they were not granted the electors from the state 108 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.399 of Florida. Back in two thousands, some of you were way too young 109 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.200 to remember that. Some of you may be more seasoned and that seems like 110 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.120 a long time ago or whatever, But that did happen. That did happen. 111 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.799 We had George W. Bush, who was declared the winner. I 112 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.080 forget the order, but one of the well the news networks had called Florida 113 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.000 for Gore and then Bush, and then Gore and then Bush. I forget 114 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.480 the order. But it was back and forth like that because it was so 115 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.399 razor thin. It was super razor thin, and there were legal ramifications that 116 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.240 we didn't know. We didn't know for some time who the nominee, excused 117 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.559 the president was going to be because of this. Now, I will say, 118 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.200 throughout the recount process, Gore, excuse me, Bush never lost the 119 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.399 vote in that recount. It wasn't like Gore was ahead, and then they 120 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.039 did another recount and Bush was ahead. It was Bush winning consistently on the 121 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.200 recounts, but they were close numbers, close enough to where a legal challenge 122 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:16.679 is absolutely understandable in that case. Now, al Gored never charged or claimed 123 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.480 that there was fraud. Instead, he was claiming that, well, not 124 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.480 not a wide scale fraud. I mean they were looking at remember they were 125 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.639 looking at hanging Chad's boy. If you weren't a round for that, this 126 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.519 is bringing back a whole bunch of memories. But they would they would have 127 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.879 a Republican and a Democrat, and they were holding up ballots to the light. 128 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.360 They would hold it up and look at it because it was it was 129 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:50.399 a punch card ballot, and they would they called those little things that you 130 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.840 would punch out, they called them chads. And they were saying that sometimes 131 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.840 that people were trying to vote for Gore and didn't go through because they didn't 132 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.440 push hard enough or some So that makes sense, by the way, probably 133 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:13.320 some probably some modern leftist man that doesn't have the strength or the dexterity to 134 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.600 pop out a chad for President Gore I would have been if he would have 135 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.759 won, but vice President Gore at the time, he was Clinton's vice president. 136 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.000 But nonetheless, they were looking at things on these ballots and they were 137 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.200 saying, that's a dimpled chad if meaning it had had some pressure on that 138 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.639 chad, which indicated there had been pressure applied, which I mean there was 139 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.840 arguments about which votes should count, hanging chads, if the chad was punched 140 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:45.919 out in part been hanging in another parts. This was a thing. And 141 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.080 to act like we've not had any sort of controversy about elections in this country 142 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.559 is ridiculous. I mean, you to go back to the I mean, 143 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.759 go back to the Kennedy election. There have been plenty of cases where there's 144 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.000 been razor thin elections and there's been challenges. Now to the point of those 145 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.720 who well, those on the other side, those who don't like Trump, 146 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.720 they say, eventually the person challenging the election will concede. Trump's never conceded. 147 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.159 Eventually the person on the other side will let bygones be bygones and move 148 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.120 along. Now, I would contend that that is the case. However, 149 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.159 there is a difference here. Now you can say, you can absolutely say 150 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.440 that. The difference is because Trump will say whatever he has to say to 151 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.840 not admit defeat, to claim that he should have been president, to say 152 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.200 that he should have won, you can make You can say that, and 153 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.240 you are free to say that and make that case. But the facts and 154 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.399 the accusations, let's let's at least say that the accusations of what's been implied 155 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.600 in the twenty twenty election, what's been argued in the twenty twenty election by 156 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:07.879 Trump and others is dramatically different than what is what has been argued in the 157 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.399 past because in the past, in the past, there were recounts, and 158 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.440 there were questions about which ballots should have been counted. There were not in 159 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.120 the case of the Hanging chads and all that with al Gore, there was 160 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:28.759 not a claim of wide scale voter fraud. That changes everything. If true, 161 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.559 If true, now I'm still looking. If you don't. If it's 162 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.399 not true, then we have to dismiss that. Or if there's not enough 163 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:41.240 evidence, and if the amount of evidence suggests otherwise, than we should come 164 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.240 to that conclusion. However, the problem has been from day one that we're 165 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:52.759 just not allowed to have these questions or to engage in these conversations, whether 166 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.240 it be on social media primarily, whether it be I mean, there are 167 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.639 the thought and the censor police coming at you if you simply ask questions. 168 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.240 I've never made an open statement saying definitively one thing or the other, because 169 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.799 there's they won't have the conversation. It is questionable to me, highly questionable. 170 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.440 In many cases, one may be inclined to think that the reason for 171 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:26.120 that is because it was intentional and it was coordinated and it was precisely what 172 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.960 they did. But someone could draw another conclusion as well. But the idea 173 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.600 that they have come forward and debated this and dismissed. All of the allegations 174 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:43.240 against Trump, will excuse me, all the allegations that Trump has made pertaining 175 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.440 to a stolen election that has simply not happened, that has simply not happened. 176 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.200 They will cite things like, well, the courts have ruled in his 177 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.159 against him this many times. Well, that's they didn't go through and do 178 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.440 a deep dive analysis and said that there was no voter fraud. They would 179 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.960 make other basically, they would often claim that he had no standing or there 180 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.159 would be some legal reason why that they would cite that he could not bring 181 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.000 that particular case and so forth. And so this has not been this has 182 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:21.320 not been a litigated, so to speak, situation, and so that's been 183 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.919 percolating out there as well. So as to me, when you think about 184 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.559 the people on the debate stage, and then you look at what I've just 185 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:32.639 described, and we're going back in time and a little bit with the history 186 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.559 of elections and so forth in this country, in particular the history of the 187 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.360 twenty twenty election and claims of voter fraud and stolen election and all this sort 188 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:49.240 of thing. That debate stage is has a handful of people that should absolutely, 189 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:56.399 unequivocally have a problem have a problem with how the government has responded to 190 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:02.320 Trump, because it didn't just stop with Trump making these accusations and the government 191 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.720 ignoring them and trying to basically block him off from any way of winning the 192 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.039 election. That's not where this ended. That would be troubling enough if in 193 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:17.160 fact he is the legitimate winner. If he's not the legitimate winner, then 194 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.359 the government, Um, I still don't think they've handled it the right way, 195 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.400 but at least they could make the case that they've gotten to the conclusion 196 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.839 that we that we need to be to, that we need to reach. 197 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.720 But that's that's not again the path that we've taken, and that is problematic 198 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:40.319 in a country. And on top of that, now they're weaponizing the government 199 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.640 to go after him. So in my mind, in my mind, when 200 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.400 I see the seven names here plus Trump that are that have qualified potentially eight 201 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.799 now with Perry Johnson, if those eight people cannot come out and unequivocally state 202 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.759 what vvk Ramaswami stated, and how vivek Ramaswami is saying, Look, what 203 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.359 is happening that Trump cannot be allowed to happen. I'm a better candidate than 204 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.200 him. I would have handled things differently than him. He did things he 205 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:15.000 shouldn't have done on January sixth or whatever, but they weren't criminal, and 206 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.680 just because someone shouldn't do them doesn't mean that they should be imprisoned or targeted 207 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.680 by those things. If every person on that stage cannot make that statement, 208 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:30.519 they are not remotely qualified to be commander in chief of this country. They 209 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:37.400 are not remotely qualified to be the candidate of the Republican Party. And I 210 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.640 still think that it's clearly going to be Trump, But I also believe, 211 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:48.160 I also believe that should it not be Trump, we had better have someone 212 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:55.200 at the helm who is prepared to go in and fight this beast on day 213 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:00.000 one. If not, I don't care. This is the bottom line point. 214 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:00.880 When I want to get to this segment, I'll take a time out. 215 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.880 But if they do not have that fight with them within them, if 216 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.920 they do not have within them the understanding of the reality of Washington, d 217 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.839 C. The weaponization of the federal government against Trump and against really anyone else 218 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.279 who dares to try to do the things that Trump did. If these candidates 219 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:26.519 do not see that they're not qualified for the position and perhaps more importantly, 220 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.400 folks, I don't care what their ideology or beliefs are because they'll never get 221 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.960 implemented. It does not matter if you don't understand what you're up against. 222 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.400 It does not matter what you believe, because it's never going to get off 223 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:48.480 the ground, not even a millimeter off the ground. The bureaucratic state, 224 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.839 the deep state in Washington, DC, the swamp, has dealt with people 225 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.799 like that for a long time. They are okay with people who don't try 226 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.759 to basically flush the rats out of the shadows. That's what Trump did. 227 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.079 That's where they draw the line. That's why they have a problem with him. 228 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.519 And if these other individuals cannot make strong statements about what's happening with our 229 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:18.920 government, and it matters not one iota. It matters not one iota what 230 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.160 their beliefs are, what their policies are. They're engaging in a pure intellectual 231 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:29.640 exercise because it will never come to pass until they know what they're up against. 232 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.119 And I'm up against the clock. Long this segment, my friends, 233 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.680 quick time out. You're listening to the conservative doctor talking. I'm your host 234 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:45.279 Tohff. Back in a minute, back, my friends, and so picking 235 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:52.359 up kind of where we left off. This The legal battle for Trump continues, 236 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.480 but it's not just legal obviously, it bleeds over into the politics of 237 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:03.680 this whole thing. Trump is now seeking the usual of the DC judge who 238 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.279 is overseeing his case. He's also asking for a change of venue. We 239 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:15.039 reference that last week, the change of venue part, and I think he's 240 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:21.000 absolutely justified in doing that, especially in Washington d C. Now Washington d 241 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:30.200 C, our beloved nation's capital, is you know, I was. I 242 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.480 wasn't there long. I was there for four months, and it's been a 243 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.480 long time ago because I'm older than dirt. Back in nineteen ninety nine, 244 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.880 I was studying at American University, which is on the what the north west 245 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:51.440 quadrant. I guess the northwest corner of Washington d C. Washington DC is 246 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.799 a bubble. I was there long enough to realize and understand that. And 247 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:03.079 the other thing Washington d C is Washington DC and the surrounding metro area, 248 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:08.960 which would include places like Arlington, Virginia, and Northern Virginia. In general, 249 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:18.960 it would include parts of Maryland as well. These are cities the DC 250 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:25.319 metro area that's been built up. Thinking about this now, it exists. 251 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.799 Those communities are big. The part of town that I was in is one 252 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.519 of the I mean, a very nice part of town. It's near what 253 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.759 Chevy Chase, Maryland. I guess Tinleytown was the subway stop back in those 254 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:44.839 days. Tinleytown American University, not too far from the National Zoo. But 255 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.440 it's a very nice part of town. And you get into some of these 256 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:56.599 suburbs. Incredible amounts of wealth in these parts of well, the suburbs. 257 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.759 Now, I'm not against wealth. In fact, I'm a gay that likes 258 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:07.039 the idea of people having wealth. Unfortunately, the biggest factor, well one 259 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:15.119 of the biggest factors that prevents the average person from obtaining wealth is are the 260 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.720 people that are in the city I'm talking about. Of course, there's other 261 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:23.759 factors as well, certainly, no doubt work ethic for a lot of people, 262 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:30.079 commitment, risk. Sometimes sometimes people have you know, bad fortune, 263 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.079 bad I don't like to say luck, but just some of the things that 264 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:38.079 they're fighting were choices that they've made. You know, some people make choices 265 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.920 instead of chasing something that would produce more financial rewards, Maybe they spend time. 266 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.519 There's a brazilion reasons, but one of the biggest factors that people, 267 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:51.440 regardless of what they're currently doing, are not wealthier, is because of the 268 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.440 people running the show in Washington, DC. And these folks live in a 269 00:23:55.519 --> 00:24:00.440 bubble and everybody that comes there. I mean, I'm he's aggerating slightly by 270 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:06.319 saying everybody, but it's darned near everybody. It's like ninety plus percent vote 271 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:10.279 for Democrats. And why do they do that. They do that because they 272 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.920 know that that is where the gravy train comes from. They know that if 273 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:22.039 they want to have positions of power, positions of authority. They don't like 274 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.039 the idea of decentralized power and having power returned back to the states and to 275 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:32.759 the citizens, because they move there precisely to be around that hub of power, 276 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.160 that hub of I don't even want to say influence, because they use 277 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:41.079 not influence, but force is what they use. Someone like me is using 278 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.519 influence. We try to persuade, we try to attract and draw. We 279 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:51.759 don't have any force. You don't have to listen to this program. You 280 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.720 have to pay your taxes, you have to do what the government rights into 281 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.759 law, and they know that, and so it's all part of the It's 282 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.079 just part of a game. It's a career path for people, and so 283 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.400 they all flock to Washington, d C. They live in a bubble. 284 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.920 The amount it's almost I remember when I was there, and it's been a 285 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.440 while, but I remember thinking, it is amazing how disconnected this place is 286 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:23.720 from the rest of the what I would consider like normal America. Right flyover 287 00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:30.599 country, which is where most people live, is you know, in flyover 288 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:38.920 Country, small town USA. Even even in the cities. The disconnect between 289 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:45.519 big cities and what's happening in DC is pretty extreme. They live in their 290 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.720 own world, They operate in their own lane. They're supposed to be representing 291 00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:55.319 for those who are elected representatives, the people that they have elected them back 292 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.680 home, but they're oftentimes they're just part of the machinery, part of the 293 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:06.400 mechanism. And they know that someone like Trump coming in is not good for 294 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:12.200 business. It's not good for what they desire, which is more power and 295 00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:18.480 more control. It's it's Trump represents less bureaucracy, less tape. Remember the 296 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:25.440 rules that say for every new bureaucratic rule that you establish, I Trump said, 297 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.039 I'm going to require you cut or eliminate two other rules. I think 298 00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.279 it was one of the two, was the ratio, and so they cut 299 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.920 a ton of rules that way. They don't like that they live in a 300 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.680 place where Trump is constantly when he was there, constantly maligned and demonized. 301 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.920 Now the rest of us do as well. But it's not the same bubble. 302 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.200 It's not the same bubble. And so Trump says, I don't want 303 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:55.599 this venue, and I don't want this judge. This judge is an Obama 304 00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.400 appointee. This judge is which again, and in a sane world, that 305 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.960 wouldn't matter, because a judge would look to the facts of the case. 306 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:10.480 However, however, I've noticed, and you have two that judge is appointed 307 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.599 by Leftists often see that as a seat of power that they can occupy to 308 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.920 further their political ends. And that's the concern, and that should be a 309 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:26.319 legitimate concern from Trump and Trump's legal team, and so changing the venue and 310 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.599 wanting a different judge. This judge used to work at the law firm that 311 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.880 I believe employed. Did Hunter Biden himself work there, or maybe Hunter Biden's 312 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.640 counsel. There's other things about this judge too. I got it in the 313 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:41.839 stack of stuff, but I don't have it pulled up at the moment, 314 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:47.880 but there's reasons to say, you know, if we're really trying to seek 315 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.079 a fair trial, and if we really objectively look at how we even got 316 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:57.200 to this point with Trump getting indicted in multiple places. I mean, the 317 00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.400 request for a new judge and a new you are certainly to me moves that 318 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.960 he should request, and at least I would think definitely the change the change 319 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:11.720 of venue for certain which of course would then presumably replaced. I'm not a 320 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.799 lawyer, but I'm presuming that would mean there would be a different judge as 321 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:22.200 well. Anyway, so we got all this stuff kind of percolating in the 322 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.440 background, and it's going to coincide with this whole election, and it's about 323 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:33.119 to get really really intense in ways that I just the average person is just 324 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:38.279 not prepared for this. I just twenty sixteen and twenty twenty will look like 325 00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:44.680 proverbial walks through the park when we're done with this, especially if Trump continues, 326 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.759 well actually at this point, if he if he ends up somehow getting 327 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:55.119 convicted, or if he ends up somehow being the nominee, it's going to 328 00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:02.079 cause there's going to be increased tensions and candidly there should be if he's prevented 329 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.960 from me in the nominee. This is effectively what banana republics due to their 330 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.440 political adversaries. It cannot be allowed to stand. It should only strengthen and 331 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:21.799 galvanize our commitment to supporting Trump because because of everything that this means, because 332 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:30.000 as Trump said, the government is going after him because he has just stepped 333 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.160 between them and what they're trying to do to us. Now, there's a 334 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.519 lot more to it, I know that, but in a nutshell, that's 335 00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:40.039 pretty accurate depictions. So that being said, timeout is in order. My 336 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.279 friends. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. Be back here in 337 00:29:42.359 --> 00:30:00.640 just a minute. On back, my friends. So you know when I 338 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.759 first started this show, by the way, that is going to be this 339 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:11.759 week. Just hit me. Let's see today Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 340 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:19.160 Thursday, I believe will be our eight year anniversary of starting the podcast. 341 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.759 Now, we weren't on the radio at first. We we're a podcast for 342 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.920 a year or so before we got on on the radio. And when I 343 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:38.559 started this I distinctively remember I remember thinking, you know, when it comes 344 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:44.200 to these primary processes, I'm never going to be I just I didn't want 345 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.880 to endorse candidates. I really didn't. In fact, I didn't think that 346 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.079 I would ever I would ever do it. And you go back to twenty 347 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.480 sixteen, I remember not not doing it. I don't think I think I 348 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.400 had been asked. But I never even share who I voted for in the 349 00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:10.119 Republican primary back in twenty sixteen, and Indiana was the state the last state 350 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:15.160 that Cruz was in really officially on the in the race, I should say, 351 00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.519 And when Trump won Indiana, that's when Cruz dropped out. That would 352 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.480 have been in May of twenty sixteen, which is really when Trump secured the 353 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:33.880 nomination officially. So but I think I just don't want to be a guy 354 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:41.799 who this is not about an individual. To me, however, I didn't. 355 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:47.759 I knew we had problems in this country, and I guess I didn't 356 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:52.599 fully understand, as I would say none of us did, to what depths 357 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:59.000 the government was prepared to go to take out a guy who was, in 358 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:07.839 my estimation, because of their insatiable desire to take the man out, seemingly 359 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:15.400 by their own actions, the most feared man from those who have an ideology 360 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.599 that is diametrically opposed to mine, and that person, of course, is 361 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.920 Donald Trump. And they, the deep state, the bureaucratic state, whatever 362 00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.119 you want to call it, the swamp. They fear him. The media 363 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.960 fears him, All the people who are the problem in this country fear him. 364 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.880 And it's not a defense of him when I come here and I say 365 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:49.319 to me, this is because he holds the keys to how to defeat them, 366 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:55.119 or at least the one person who is the closest to holding the keys 367 00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.160 to defeating them. And I think a lot of it goes back to his 368 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.640 willingness to fight. And I look de Santis as a fighter. I mean, 369 00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.799 there's a lot of things I like about Vivek Ramaswami. There's a lot 370 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:15.240 of things I like being said from other candidates. I just think, as 371 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:22.400 I stated earlier, it doesn't matter what their ideas are if they don't understand 372 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:28.000 the beast that they are about to be fighting, if they were to be 373 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:37.240 elected president. If you don't understand the depth and the depravity of Washington, 374 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:42.640 d C. The breadth of what they are involved with, the depth and 375 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:47.440 the depth that they're willing to take it, the resources they're willing to throw 376 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.640 at it, the ability to keep it covert, the ability to spy on 377 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:59.960 campaigns and get a president and peach twice. Remember when Chuck Schumer was talking 378 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:05.200 with forget who who's talking with Rachel Maddow, I believe and Chuck Schumer. 379 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.440 We played this SoundBite recently. This is an older sound bite, but Trump 380 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:13.519 Schumer, excuse me, said that the intelligence community, who Trump at the 381 00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:19.280 time was going after because of the whole Russian collusion delusion. Schumer said, 382 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:23.239 that's the stupid thing to do, because the intelligence community has seven ways to 383 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:28.280 Sunday of getting getting back at you. And they acted like that was totally 384 00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.880 cool and acceptable. I remember saying, why is Rachel Maddow just nodding an 385 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.800 agreement here? Why didn't she say whoa, whoa? Why are we having 386 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:43.000 the weaponization? That's the that's admitting the weaponization of our government. Not granted, 387 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.000 the people watching MSNBC don't know what they're listening to anyway, they become 388 00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:54.920 mind numb robots who don't think for themselves, who have been stirred into a 389 00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.559 frenzy over Trump. But nonetheless, it's right there for anybody who wants to 390 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:07.840 see it. And so when you realize the ferocity with which they have gone 391 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.440 after Trump, you realize that there is a reason and A it's because he's 392 00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.400 the biggest threat. But b it's because, my friends, I think that 393 00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:20.880 they believe they are very close to the metaphorical finish line here. And I 394 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:25.400 think that they are close to the metaphorical finish line. It's been a gradual 395 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.800 process. It's taken time. They've committed to it for a long, long 396 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.760 while, and now they can see it, they can almost taste it, 397 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.920 they can almost touch it. It's right within their grasp, and some rogue 398 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:47.599 politician comes in and sets it ablaze and exposes them to the light of day. 399 00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:55.199 They don't like it, and that's not meant to be maligning the other 400 00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:00.119 candidates. That's meant to be I think framing this properly in saying, look, 401 00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.039 I love the ideas that some of these folks have. Some of them 402 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.639 I'm not super inspired by. But nonetheless, I think there's a lot of 403 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.599 good ideas. I think there's a lot of potential future talent up there. 404 00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.840 You know, I'm very interested in vvak Ramaswami. I'm interested in some of 405 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:27.320 the others, some of the other candidates as well. I'm interested in Well, 406 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.960 I don't want to mention any other names at the moment, but there's 407 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:36.800 others I'm interested in. And I think if we don't understand, and if 408 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:38.920 we don't, if we're not prepared, if we think we can come in 409 00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:44.280 as I think Pence would be inclined to do if he even gets to the 410 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:49.320 debate stage. But the mindset of Pence, or the feeling I get from 411 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.800 the Penn's campaign, is we'll just go in there. We'll deal with these 412 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.960 folks a little bit better than Trump did. Right, we won't burn down, 413 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.719 we won't go scorched earth on them. Well, the problem is they 414 00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:04.960 are fully and completely entrenched and they are prepared to go scorched earth on anyone 415 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.840 who opposes them. So if you don't go scorched earth, it's because you're 416 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:12.559 not fighting hard enough. And I think you have to know that you can't 417 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.320 waste a year or two years or three years with that mentality. You have 418 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:22.360 to go in there day one and eradicate this stuff. Anyway, timeouts in 419 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:40.239 order. My friends sit tight back in just a minute. Welcome back, 420 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:46.079 my friends. So not a lot of time remaining here today, Not a 421 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:52.400 lot of time. So there's other things in the news that I again, 422 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.960 let me pause, if there's some things that I've referenced. Fact, I've 423 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.559 had this in the stack of stuff for a couple of days. I've got 424 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:07.159 the lunatic at MSNBC known as Joy Reid. She is happy. She's happy 425 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:15.280 that Trump's judges around the January sixth indictment have been or will be or are 426 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:22.960 currently women of color whatever that. Whatever that means in a judicial proceeding, 427 00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:28.719 criminal proceeding, I guess that shouldn't matter, but it does. Elon Musk 428 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:31.960 is out there offering to pay legal bills of people that have been unfairly treated 429 00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:37.519 for things they've posted on platform formerly known as Twitter. By the way, 430 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:43.320 Elon says he may have to delay his fight with Zuckerberg due to a possible 431 00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:45.239 injury or excuse me, a possible surgery. So I'm not a big fan 432 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:47.920 of that. But there's lots of stuff that I want to get to. 433 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.360 It's on the stack of stuff on the website. Just go to toushow dot 434 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:53.880 com to see that. Put a timeouts in order. My friends back in 435 00:38:54.199 --> 00:39:12.880 just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. Something else in the stack 436 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:16.679 of stuff that I just didn't get to today is court records as an article. 437 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:21.920 I think it's SAIDs and Newsmax or Epic Times. I'm not sure it's 438 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:27.079 in the stack of stuff, but court records show that millions of dollars flowed 439 00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:34.400 from China, as Trump would say, China to the crooked Joe Biden family 440 00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:40.199 president bribery himself. Court documents are now now showing that. So that's a 441 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:45.719 whole other thing that's percolating as well, the whole Hunter Biden scandal, which 442 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:50.760 is not about cookers and drugs. It's about pay to play alleged scandals here 443 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:53.639 up to potentially Joe Biden himself and folks. I gotta go have a great 444 00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:54.280 day, SDG.
