Here's your Conservative but not Bitter host Todd Huff. All right, 5 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:42.799 my friends, So the House of Representatives has found Merrick Garland to be 6 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:51.359 in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the video. The video of the 7 00:00:52.600 --> 00:01:00.359 question and answer session, the interrogation, if you will, between Biden in 8 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.120 his well ended up in the her report. So he's now officially in contempt 9 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.200 of Congress, and we'll see what happens from here. But I want to 10 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.519 talk about that here at the beginning of the program today. But we'll get 11 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.760 to that here as things come together. Welcome to the program. Email Todd 12 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.599 at todefshow dot com three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty.

Before we get rolling, I want to remind you, 15 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.480 my friends, that you have I have a responsibility to maintain our health. 16 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.319 You know, one of the underlying, I guess foundations of this program 17 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.120 of conservatism is that there's this concept of individual responsibility. Now, we're not 18 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.200 responsible for everything that goes on in the world, and there are certainly things 19 00:01:55.239 --> 00:02:00.000 that we deal with from time to time that are not under our control. 20 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.000 But for the grace of God, there's some things that are just I mean, 21 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.240 we can't control everything, but we do have responsibility, responsibility to take 22 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.199 care of ourselves and to take care of those things that we have a responsibility 23 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.960 for, like those little children that drive you crazy sometimes. But anyway, 24 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.039 one of those things, of course, is taking care of your health. 25 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:24.800 And one way you can do that is taking some natural health supplements. So 26 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.560 so we've partnered with z Stack here on the program to share that they well 27 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.599 a little bit about who they are, the products that they provide.

All right, so 40 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:40.240 let's get into this latest development in Washington, DC. This again, this 41 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:47.840 cold civil war that we are enduring here in this nation. Congress has voted 42 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.520 to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in the contempt of Congress. Now, before 43 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.120 we get into that specifically, let me go back a little bit into history, 44 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:03.080 because I think it's important that we recognize who we're dealing with here. 45 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.199 Because if you've been a student of politics for some time, you will remember 46 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.319 you'll remember back in twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen that the there was a vacancy 47 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:27.000 on the United States Supreme Court. The vacancy was created when one of the 48 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.399 all time best justices on the Supreme Court, Antonin Scalia. I love antonin 49 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:40.759 Scalia. I had the privilege of seeing antonin Scalia on the bench on the 50 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.800 Supreme Court. We watched oral arguments in nineteen ninety nine. If you've not 51 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.480 had the opportunity to do that and you're in Washington, d C. I 52 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:55.240 know that we watched oral arguments in April. But there's certain seasons, certain 53 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.920 sessions where you can do that. It's something that I think is very Worthwhile 54 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.680 I had to get there super early, I'm guessing that's still the case. 55 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.480 It's first come, first serve. But I remember watching antonin Scalia when he 56 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.839 was a justice on the Supreme Court. It's one of the only times I've 57 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.879 ever felt a little bit sorry for an attorney. Anton and Scalia starts peppering 58 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.360 one of the attorneys with questions about three seconds in to his, you know, 59 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.680 presentation of his case before the Supreme Court, and Antonin Scalia was relentless. 60 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.079 Another justice has jumped in as well, and of course Clarence Thomas is 61 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.480 sitting over there. That was the first time I'd ever seen this. I 62 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.399 didn't really understand that. Clarence Thomas. I was a kid, young man. 63 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.879 Clarence Thomas was sitting eyes closed, with his head tilted back, looking 64 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.079 directly straight above his head, just looking straight up in the sky, eyes 65 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.519 closed. For a while, I thought maybe he had fallen asleep. I 66 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.720 didn't know, but that's how he listens to cases. And so this whole 67 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.800 thing is going on, and I just remember antonin Scalia, just rapid fire 68 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.519 questions, boom boom, boom, boom boom. And of course, if 69 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.920 you read much of what antonin Scalia wrote, if you listen to him giving 70 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:11.839 speeches, this was a guy who really had an unbelievable mind, just an 71 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:17.319 incredibly intelligent, great legal mind, great defender of the constitution, just kind 72 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:23.040 of an example really for the way that conservative thinking should be done. In 73 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.040 fact, I remember I remember that Rush. Of course, you know my 74 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.199 you know my uh love for Rush. But Rush used to say, if 75 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.600 he didn't have his brain, he the next best choice would have been the 76 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.720 brain of Antonin Scalia. So anyway, but Scullia was something else. Scalia 77 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.000 passed away tragically, and I think it was February of twenty sixteen now, 78 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.839 you'll remember all this if you followed this. Some of you again maybe newer 79 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.759 to following politics, so this might be this might be a little bit new. 80 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.480 But Scalia was a conservative justice, and by that, let me let 81 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.120 me explain what that means for starters. See, conservative justice does not mean 82 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.079 that you are someone who believes in conservative policies and tries to enact them from 83 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.399 the bench. Really what we mean what I mean when I say a conservative 84 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.639 justice, it's someone who revers the Constitution, who believes that it should be 85 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:21.399 interpreted as it was originally intended by those folks who actually wrote the document, 86 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.000 an originalist right, people who actually try to understand what it meant at the 87 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.279 time, so that we can understand what the founders are trying to communicate and 88 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.720 establish, so that then we can apply that to today's world and to the 89 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:43.000 laws that were the laws that are being reviewed before the Supreme Court as they're 90 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.040 deciding a particular case. But that's how this should be done. And a 91 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:55.879 conservative justice just means that a conservative justice who doesn't like a particular law is 92 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.319 not going to dis unilaterally from the bench, say you can't do it. 93 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.439 The law has to be overturned. That is what a liberal justice has become. 94 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.519 That liberals have become activist judges. That's what that's synonymous with today. 95 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.360 An activist judge basically means that if they don't like something, they will use 96 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.560 their well their power to create law from the bench. That's not what they 97 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.920 are allowed to do by the Constitution. But that is of course, there's 98 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.680 no other checkpoint for that. I mean, Congress can then try to pass 99 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.680 a law to overdo it. But if half of Congress, half of Congress 100 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.200 is in agreement with what the justice or the judge in whatever case this might 101 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.480 be, what the judge ruled, then it's going you're gonna have a difficult 102 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.639 time doing anything about that. So but when I say conservative justice, I 103 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:48.279 mean someone who just interprets and applies the Constitution as to intend it originally. 104 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.320 So that's what Scalia was. And so there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court. 105 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.799 And you'll remember that twenty sixteen was an electioneer. This is the election 106 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.279 that Trump won fair and square, although they tell you that he stole it 107 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.519 with the help of Putin by tricking Hillary voters into voting for him using Facebook 108 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:13.320 ads and Twitter ads and pokemon go ads. But Scalia's vacancy. There's in 109 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.279 the Constitution, there's a clear path, a clear series of things that has 110 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.679 to happen. The President of the United States is to make an appointment for 111 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:30.399 that opening, and Congress, specifically the Senate provides and advise and consent role, 112 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.240 which means they have to approve the nominee. And so Mitch McConnell, 113 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.919 the Republicans controlled the Senate back in twenty sixteen, Mitch McConnell said, we're 114 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.120 not going Our advice to this president, President Obama is that we're not going 115 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:50.279 to give consent. Our advice is to keep your nominee to yourself. I 116 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.120 mean, you can make the nomination, but our advice is that we are 117 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.039 not going to do anything about that. We are going to wait until this 118 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:07.720 election plays out before we actually actually have a new Supreme Court justice here on 119 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.600 the court, before we vote for someone. And there was a risk that 120 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.919 was there, right because if Hillary Clinton would have won, they would have 121 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:24.200 nominated some leftists. If of course Trump won, they would nominate someone or 122 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.360 the president would nominate someone like Neil Gorsich, which is what happened, and 123 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.919 Neil Gorsuch so far as seemed to be a fantastic justice on the Supreme Court. 124 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.639 But the nominee. The reason I'm telling you this is because the nominee 125 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.480 that was presented back in twenty sixteen, in the wake of the passing of 126 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.000 antonin Scalia, the nominee that was presented was our current attorney general. His 127 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.759 name is Merrick Garland. This is the guy who is now being held in 128 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.360 contempt of Congress. Now he's the guy that's not giving over the video, 129 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.200 and I want to talk about this in due courser the program comes together. 130 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.799 But Merrick Garland was presented at the time as this moderate, middle of the 131 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.440 road guy. In fact, I remember it was almost like a negotiating chip. 132 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:18.600 Hey, Conservatives, Mitch McConnell and the Senate, if you guys don't 133 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.879 approve of this nominee before the election, you're gonna get Hillary's nominee, and 134 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.799 it's gonna be someone that's potentially much more liberal than this guy, Merrick Garland. 135 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.639 Merrick Garland was painted at this middle of the road guy, somebody that 136 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.279 everybody could get along with, fair minded, just above reproach. Merrick Garland. 137 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.159 Now he's being held in contempt of Congress. He's being held in contempt 138 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.200 of Congress. So we dodged a major proverbial bullet there by not Mitch mcconnald. 139 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.159 One of the only times I'll say Mitch McConnell did the right thing. 140 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.320 He did the right thing there, and there's nothing illegal about it. That's 141 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.440 the Senate's prerogative. That's what they decided. That was their advice back to 142 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:07.000 the White House in those days, Barack Obama's White House, and their advice 143 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.600 was, we're not going to give consent until after the selection. So I 144 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.320 want to talk about but that's important to understand this fair minded guy that we 145 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.279 were told. This guy was just above reproach. Everybody could get along with 146 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.320 this guy. He's not going to cause any problems for conservatives. He's not 147 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:28.080 a biased guy. Just totally just buy the book. Merrick Garland, who's 148 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:35.000 now been held in contempt of Congress for not providing this video as Congress has 149 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.799 requested. So we'll get to this as the program under unfolds. But before 150 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.720 we do that, let me remind you, my friends, if you're currently 151 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.679 smoking, and if you're currently using nicotine products, vaping, smoking, chewing 152 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:56.840 tobacco, you know that there are some There's messiness to deal with, right, 153 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.639 there's the smoke, the spitting.

Merrick Garland, 172 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.480 who again in twenty sixteen, was presented to us as the I mean, 173 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.840 straight as an arrow, absolutely no problems whatsoever kind of guy. This 174 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:39.080 guy was just, I mean just totally above reproach. That's what we were 175 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.919 told. We were told that he was going to be a completely fair and 176 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:46.200 unbiased Supreme Court justice. He's now the Attorney General of the United States of 177 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.919 America, and he's now been held in contempt of Congress, and he's been 178 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:58.360 held in contempt of Congress because he has not released the video, the video 179 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:05.399 of President Biden's speaking with special counsel Robert Hurr in the interview process. Remember, 180 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.639 he was going through and determining Robert Hurr, special prosecutor, special counsel 181 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:20.720 to see if there was you know, if Biden should be recommended for criminal 182 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:33.080 prosecution, and you'll remember that her report. Robert Hurr wrote these words in 183 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.480 regards to his encounters with Biden. He wrote this, Biden presented himself as 184 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:46.159 a sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory, and he 185 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:52.039 further added that it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict 186 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.440 him, by then a former president well into his eighties, of a serious 187 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:04.360 felony that requires a man mental state of wilfulness. So basically the conclusion was 188 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:11.000 this guy that I've been interviewing the president of the United States. This is 189 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.000 again Robert Hurr's words I read. Those were quotes that I read you. 190 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:22.960 His words basically say to us, a jury would not want to convict this 191 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.440 guy because they would be sympathetic to him because he doesn't really know what's going 192 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:33.399 on, and so he gets that. There's reaction from both sides. You 193 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.159 know, you got Republicans here saying that's a pretty big problem. I mean, 194 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.960 can you give us more information about this. This guy is the leader 195 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.879 of the free world, what you know, help us to understand this. 196 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.600 Democrats are saying, why are you even saying this, your job isn't to 197 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:56.240 do anything besides decide whether or not you would refer this for a a criminal 198 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.440 you know, criminal charges. What are you doing? Why are you bringing 199 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:03.039 this into the mix? You're adding things to this that don't need to need 200 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.880 to be added. But I think the reason he did that, I think 201 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.000 is because he knew that if he didn't give some degree of rationale that it 202 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:18.359 just looks it looks completely suspect here because we can all see, we can 203 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.680 all see the connections, we can all see the problems that exist within within 204 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:30.319 this administration, and we can see that there's a little bit of well, 205 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:38.440 where there's smoke, there's fire. Right. So again again this is has 206 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:44.839 caused lots of people to want to know more, and so Merrick Garland. 207 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.680 Congress has called Merrick Garland and there's been some fiery testimony and some back and 208 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.319 forth. They called him in and said, look, you know, we 209 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.559 need we need to see more of this, provide the video. Merrick Garland 210 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.599 says, no. Now, this is interesting because we have three separate branches 211 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.880 of government. Right, We've got the executive branch that's the president. We've 212 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:08.000 got the legislative branch, that's Congress, which is the House of Representatives in 213 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.880 the Senate, and of course we've got the judiciary, which includes our federal 214 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:17.519 courts and ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States of America. And so 215 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.839 we have this concept in American government that says that they're separate but equal, 216 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:30.599 meaning that they have a way to have checks and balances for each other. 217 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:36.319 And so they're separate, they have clear responsibilities, but other branches can hold 218 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.200 them in check. So, for example, Congress can pass a law, 219 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:44.160 the President can then veto that law. Congress can then take that vetoed law, 220 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.559 and if they have what's called a supermajority, they can override that veto. 221 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.119 They can say, we have so much support for this in Congress, 222 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.480 your veto no longer matters. So now it becomes law in spite of the 223 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:00.839 fact that you're not going to sign it or approve it. And so there's 224 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.480 all these sorts of things that go back and forth in cong well in our 225 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.640 government. So you've got the same thing you've got. Congress has oversight authority 226 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.680 on the executive branch. They can bring them in for hearings and questioning. 227 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:18.039 They can that they can ask for information right, they can do all these 228 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.400 things. But there's also a thing called executive privilege. Executive privileges. Hey, 229 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.400 this is something it's kind of like, it's kind of like, I 230 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.960 guess loosely, this concept of attorney client privilege. You know, you can 231 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.599 put someone on trial right if there's if there's evidence, and if you've gotten 232 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:40.839 a grand jury to say that that's appropriate or whatever the particulars are in a 233 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:47.720 case, and you can have that be the case, and the defense have 234 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.759 to show up in court, but the defense doesn't have to take the stand. 235 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.279 The defense can certainly keep conversations private between the client and the attorney. 236 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:03.160 That's all good for our system of justice. And so there's some things the 237 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.960 court cannot ask, there's some things that the jury cannot hear. All these 238 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:12.279 things that go into just this process, and so there are things that the 239 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.119 president can say, I'm not telling you this. In fact, this is 240 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.119 where we get into Steve Bannon, for example, being held in contempt of 241 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:26.200 Congress, by the way, serving a four month sentence. Now Peter Navarro 242 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.440 as well, So this is there's some legitimacy. But again, context, 243 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.880 as always is the case is king, So I want to talk about this 244 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.720 a little bit more as the program comes together, my friends. But let 245 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.920 me remind you that we have a partnership with Harvard Gold Group and you can 246 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.960 find more out find out more about that at Harvard Gooldgroup dot com slash tied. 247 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.839 You can go there to sign up for well to get your free investment 248 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.079 guide.

So time out here is 266 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.599 in order. I want to get back. I want to continue talking about 267 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.440 this situation with Merrick Garland. I want to talk about executive privilege. I 268 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.279 want to talk about what he's doing. I want to kind of compare and 269 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.000 contrast what's going on here. And again, this guy was very close to 270 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:36.640 being a Supreme Court justice in the United States, and we were told things 271 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:41.079 about him that simply aren't true. This guy, this guy is a partisan 272 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.039 hack, and I just I can't help but think back to twenty sixteen and 273 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:51.799 realize that the things that now we have with Neil Gorsuch. How much different 274 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.559 the court would be if we had Justice Merrick Garland in the mix. We 275 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.559 dodged a proverbial bullet there, my friends, quick time out though, we 276 00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:04.920 be back here in just a minute. They come back to my friends just 277 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.880 talking a little bit about America. Garland, the Attorney General of the United 278 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:15.319 States of America, being held in contempt of Congress by Republicans. You know, 279 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.759 there was a procedural vote that was too eight to two O seven to 280 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:26.400 eight to two O seven. One Republican actually joined the Democrats in not wanting 281 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:32.160 this to move forward. The actual vote, though, was the procedural vote 282 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:36.200 could have killed it. So there were people that didn't that didn't vote for 283 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:41.000 that, that ended up voting for this thing once it was, you know, 284 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.160 going going forward, once it cleared that procedural hurdle. But there was 285 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:56.000 one Republican who did not vote in favor of this, and I just David 286 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.279 Joyce his name. The final vote was two sixteen to two. He's a 287 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.319 Republican from Ohio. This is what he's this is what he said. As 288 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:10.440 a former prosecutor, I cannot in good conscience support a resolution that would further 289 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:17.119 politicize our judicial system to score political points. The American people expect Congress to 290 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:22.279 work for them, solve policy problems, and prioritize good governance. Enough is 291 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:30.119 enough now, I would certainly hear that out because I don't want to see 292 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.960 I don't want to see the what the weaponization of the Department of Justice. 293 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.720 But but let's also be clear here, don't I don't see that as what's 294 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:45.279 going on. And you know, people, anytime there's a need to provide 295 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.640 context and explanation, you run the risk of people checking out, not understanding, 296 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.440 not being able to connect the dots, not caring because they'll say, 297 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.119 look, you got all upset when because you said the Department of Justice was 298 00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.160 targeting Trump, Now you're targeting Biden. Fact, this was one of the 299 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.480 common refrains that people are now saying. Since Hunter got convicted, Hunter Hunter, 300 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:07.759 Biden got convicted, So now we know that the judicial system is not 301 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.240 biased, right, That's that's what we're supposed to believe. Of course, 302 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:17.119 there's a bazillion factors that play into this. Certainly, there had to be 303 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.960 a willingness to to file the charges to begin with, and that could have 304 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.839 started that had to run through all sorts of people that that ended up getting 305 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:30.839 to Biden. I there's no doubt to me that this stuff is discussed strategically 306 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.079 in everything else. I think they've I think they realized that as it pertains 307 00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:40.079 to Hunter, Biden's trial, and as it pertains to Trump's trial. I 308 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:45.119 think that they did the calculation and they thought, look, the Hunter's not 309 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:47.799 going to get jail time. I mean, I don't know that for a 310 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.000 fact. There's a maximum of twenty five years, but I just it's it's 311 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.920 his first crime. I just I don't think that that's going to be the 312 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:56.960 outcome. If it is, it's going to be very, very minimal. 313 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:02.640 And by the way, as well, I think it should be. I 314 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.039 think they got they got together and they strategized, and they said, look, 315 00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.480 Hunter, if your dad's in office again for four more years, I 316 00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.359 mean, there's gonna be some lucrative deals out there allegedly for you, right. 317 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.119 I mean, I think that that there's a part of this that says, 318 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.200 look, we want to beat this guy so badly. You know, 319 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.960 it's it's making the best of a bad situation. It also gives us ammunition 320 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:26.759 to say, look, the government is fair. The Department of Justice is 321 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.480 not being weaponized this. It's dealing with people on both sides of this political 322 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.799 divide that we have, and so I think that that was something that they 323 00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.480 strategically decided it was it was worth it. Does that also mean, well, 324 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:42.680 that mean that neither one of them, Trump nor Hunter will be given 325 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:45.680 jail time. I don't know. I'm not predicting any of that. Trump's 326 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:51.319 sentencing here is about a month away, so we'll see how that all plays 327 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:55.920 out, see how that all plays out. But specifically, back to Merrick 328 00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.279 Garland, who of course is at the head of the He's at the head 329 00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.640 of this, he's at the Department of Justice. Now can say that not 330 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.160 all of these crimes that Trump has been charged with happen in the state level, 331 00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.960 but there's certainly it's naive to think that there's not some level of coordination 332 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:15.799 communication. And besides that, a lot of folks don't need to be told. 333 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.119 If you're a radical leftist, you don't need to be told to take 334 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.079 down your political enemies. You definitely don't need to be told to take down 335 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.200 Trump. A lot of this stuff is just known, it's just common knowledge. 336 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.880 It's like you don't have to tell people to breathe. This is what 337 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:37.240 they do. So, but back specifically to this contempt situation with Merrick Garland, 338 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:44.640 the White House, the executive branch certainly has a prerogative to say that 339 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:51.680 something falls under the executive privilege. The president does not work for Congress, 340 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.440 so the Congress is not over the president, but they have oversight into the 341 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:02.720 executive branch, which means there are times that they can absolutely as well they 342 00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:08.160 should be able to demand answers for certain things from the executive branch. This 343 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.880 is the way that it's been set up. It's for checks and balances. 344 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:18.559 It's to prevent the abuse of power. It's to prevent the consolidation of power, 345 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.200 which of course are deadly to a constitutional, freedom loving republic. So 346 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.839 you've got this situation where the executive branch can from time to time say, 347 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.200 look, we're not providing that. So for example, for example, if 348 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:40.000 there were recordings of conversations between Merrick Garland and Joseph Biden about whatever that's happening, 349 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.039 that's part of the functioning of the executive branch, then I would say 350 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:48.240 they absolutely do not have to turn that over. However, this is something 351 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:55.079 different. This is something that special counsel where we were told, remember too, 352 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:59.720 we were told this is an important factor. We were told that the 353 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.680 administration was going to have nothing to do with this. This in fact, 354 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.960 this was an attempt for them to wash their hands of this, to say, 355 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:08.960 look, we're stepping out of this. We're handing this over to Robert 356 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.480 Hurr. The President's not even gonna know about it. Merrick Garland's not even 357 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.799 really gonna know about it besides just you know, getting some reports now and 358 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.960 again. But this is not it's under the Department of Justice, but it's 359 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:22.640 not really under the Department of Justice. You've heard me talk about this before. 360 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.279 You've heard me talk about how that's really not even possible. But they've 361 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.039 told us that that's what this was. So if it's not really under the 362 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.720 Department of Justice, as they've claimed, this really had nothing to do with 363 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.359 Merrick Garland, he passed it off to Robert hurt and said, go do 364 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.799 whatever you got to do. Then why now? Why now say that the 365 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.680 public record of this should not be given, should not be just made available 366 00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.880 to everybody. See to me, that's the question. It doesn't belong if 367 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.279 it's part of the public record, my friends, it does not belong to 368 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:55.640 the executive branch if it's not something that is part of their private dealings and 369 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.319 inner workings and things that they have the right to keep private from congres and 370 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.759 even from the American people, just because you have to be able to communicate 371 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.119 about some things without having to feel like everything is going to be subject to 372 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.920 you know, public review. However, if it is part of public the 373 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:19.400 public process, which would include public investigations, then I would argue that this 374 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.359 absolutely is the property not just of It's not the property of Congress. It's 375 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:27.400 the property of the American people, and we have every right to see this. 376 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.839 Now, was there something that came up that is sensitive and the conversations 377 00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.680 maybe okay, redacted. How many times have we seen redacted files, redacted 378 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.039 this, redacted that? How many times have we seen that? Well a 379 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.759 lot? Right, you see, you'll see copies of documents, and there'll 380 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.640 be things that are completely blacked down, black boxes, covering names, covering 381 00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.039 other sensitive bits of information. Whatever. You can do the same thing, 382 00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.880 same thing with the audio files. You can delete those portions out right. 383 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:04.640 You can do this. What legitimate reason does Congress have excuse me the executive 384 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.359 branch have does Merrick Garland have from hiding this information from you? That's what 385 00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:14.039 I want to know, because I can't think of anything as all. Representative 386 00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:18.880 Chip Roy came out and said that there's really no reason for this. They 387 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.680 just don't want They don't want Congress to hear it. They don't want Congress 388 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:29.319 to hear what was on that tape because they'll understand. They'll understand that Robert 389 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:34.400 Hurr was not being hyper critical when he said that Biden would have trouble being 390 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.960 convicted because the jury would be sympathetic because he would come across as this old 391 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.759 feeble man. The American people would hear it on that tape for themselves. 392 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.079 I have no doubt about this. That's what's going on here. So if 393 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.279 they can just delay past the election, it will no longer matter. But 394 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.519 and that appears to be what's gonna happen here. So anyway, I'm gonna 395 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:57.160 take a break here in a minute. But friends, I want to tell 396 00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:02.799 you about something that I've recently recently done. I as I've shared on here 397 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:08.079 before, as I mentioned on here before, I used to I was an 398 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:14.640 athlete in college. I was in good shape, but I've I've let the 399 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.160 pounds pack on here in recent years. And so about a month or so 400 00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:24.680 ago, I started a journey with a group called my Phdweightloss dot com my 401 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:31.039 phdweightloss dot Com and I'm a month or so in and I've lost about ten 402 00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:36.559 pounds. It's a program that's designed, of course, to help to help 403 00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:42.920 get to a healthier weight, and so there's it's a pretty comprehensive program. 404 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.240 They've got coaches, a coach that you'll meet with on a weekly basis, 405 00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.799 which I think is is a helpful thing. Even though I missed a couple 406 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.400 here recently, but it's good to have those check ins. They have food 407 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.559 as well. Now you don't have to eat all of their food. They 408 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:01.480 have a dietary guide as well, explaining the process. They walk through this 409 00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:05.279 with you. But you can get some food and I'd be lying to you 410 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.559 if I told you I liked all of it, but you can pick what 411 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.880 you like. So at the beginning they give you everything that you know to 412 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.559 kind of try a sampling of everything. But there's some good foods in there 413 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.759 as well. In fact, they've every day you have this afternoon protein bar. 414 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.960 These protein bars are I mean delicious? I love the protein bars. 415 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:27.720 In fact, I get the what do I get the crunchy it's the crunchy 416 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:31.359 caramel. I think. Anyway, I've been doing this if you are interested 417 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:37.359 in getting to a healthier weight, if your stories like mine, maybe you've 418 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.680 gotten a little bit lazy or busy. That's a part of it too. 419 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:45.680 You just get busy, you start developing bad habits. My phdeweightloss dot com 420 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.960 is where you can go, or you can call eight six four six four 421 00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:54.160 four nineteen hundred eight sixty four six four four nineteen hundred my phdweight loss dot 422 00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:57.319 com. I have to take a break, my friends. You're listening here 423 00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.559 to conservative not bitter talk. I'm your host, Tod Huff Back in just 424 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:21.719 a minute, Welcome back to my friends. Brought up the Hunter Biden verdict 425 00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:27.039 yesterday. Well not yesterday, Well we talked about it yesterday, but brought 426 00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.239 it up in the last segment. How about that? So I found this 427 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:36.079 article in Where is this Politico dot com? As always, this is listed 428 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.880 on the stack, listed in the stack of stuff, and Biden is out 429 00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:45.519 there. Apparently, according to this report, he told a confidant, if 430 00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:51.000 you want heck of a confidant. By the way, if the confidant goes 431 00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:58.360 to Politico to tell you, to tell Politica what he said. But this 432 00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:06.840 is apparently what Biden told a confidante who then ran off and told Politico. 433 00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:12.400 He said, quote, if I weren't running for reelection, he referring to 434 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:19.960 his son, Hunter would have gotten the plea deal. So that's what Biden's 435 00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:24.119 out there saying. Look, Biden is now saying that Hunter is being targeted. 436 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:30.119 Basically, there's being more scrutiny, there's being more you know, they're 437 00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.920 they're being harsher on him because he's the son of the President of the United 438 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:39.559 States who's running for reelection. And now the narrative, the narrative is that 439 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.719 if Biden wasn't running, at least according to according to Biden, if Biden 440 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:49.119 wasn't running for reelection, they just would have given Hunter a plea deal. 441 00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.599 You know, it's interesting to me because if someone who supports Trump, or 442 00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:59.360 even someone who is just trying to be objective in this whole entire process with 443 00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:04.719 everything going going on, this law fair as they call it, if we 444 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:09.440 are if someone simply says, look, they are clearly they have an axe 445 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:16.480 to grind in going after Trump. If someone says that today, if someone 446 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:22.760 thinks that, if someone even wonders that they're they're criticized, they're they're being 447 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:25.880 told by the left, you know, the justice system is not targeting its 448 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:31.320 political opponents. In fact, by virtue of going after Hunter Biden, that 449 00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:37.199 should now prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're not doing that. 450 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.400 Of course, context is king, can I defy you, I defy you 451 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.320 to go to somebody and and the average person can tell you. They can 452 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:53.239 explain to you why Hunter Biden got convicted. Hunter Biden lied on a form 453 00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:59.960 that said he was not taking drugs when he applied for when he when he 454 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.880 purchase the handgun. Now there might be questions as to whether or not these 455 00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.960 things are constitutional in accordance with the Second Amendment. And look, I don't 456 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:14.760 if this would cause the Supreme Court to hear something and fix a situation in 457 00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:20.760 law in the statute, then I say that that's fantastic. I don't want 458 00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:24.840 Hunter Biden to suffer the consequence of a law that's unconstitutional. But this is 459 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:30.039 the way, this is currently how the law is. This is what the 460 00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.800 law is. It's a pretty straightforward thing. It's not highly complicated. He 461 00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.760 was on drugs and he said he wasn't. The law is that you're not 462 00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:45.679 supposed to be applying for these things, purchasing these things while you're on drugs, 463 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.559 because that's deemed a something that the state wants to regulate, because people 464 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:57.639 who are on drugs are more dangerous, that there's more likely a chance of 465 00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:02.719 there being a crime committed there not likely as well, not as frequently in 466 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.159 their right mind, and so forth, there's a risk with that as far 467 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.880 as that is concerned. You can be under the influence and then use that 468 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:15.800 weapon in a dangerous manner, in a manner that's not just in self defense, 469 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.719 but actually used as an offensive weapon to go out and be the provocateur 470 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.639 an actual violent criminal. That's the thinking behind it, and so that's the 471 00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.039 law that he broke. This is not complicated. Ask the average person who 472 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:35.159 hates Trump to explain what happened to him, What was actually guilty? Why? 473 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:39.480 What was he actually guilty of? And when you realize that the whole 474 00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:44.119 magic here, the whole magic, there's lots of things that had to happen. 475 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:45.920 First of all, they had to do all sorts of First, they 476 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:52.719 had to ignore the fact that these misdemeanors were past the statute of limitations. 477 00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:57.960 Then they had to find a felon aye to tie these misdemeanors too, because 478 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.599 if there's an underlying felony that these mens demeanors could be tied to, then 479 00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:07.960 the statute of limitations goes away and these misdemeanors become felonies because they're attached to 480 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:13.760 another felony. Then on top of that, you had to then say, 481 00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:16.280 the judge says, you don't have to all agree as to what the underlying 482 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.679 felony is. You just have to agree that there was one. And so 483 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.079 the jury could have thought four of them could have thought, you know, 484 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.079 the felony was the underlying felony was felony A. Four of them could have 485 00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.960 thought it was felony. B. Four of them could have thought it was 486 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:36.599 felony. C. These things are None of these things are common. Not 487 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:40.679 to mention that this has never been done to a former president current nominee for 488 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.719 the President of the United States, not that we're in uncharted waters in every 489 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:51.960 conceivable way. I'm thinking back to the mar A Lago raid as it pertains 490 00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:57.599 to the document's case. I compare and contrast that to what Biden did even 491 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:01.440 before he was president. He had documents dashed away next to his classic Corvette 492 00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:07.480 though so we knew they were safe because Biden loves that car. You know. 493 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:15.440 You compare and contrast these things. It's truly remarkable. And the mental 494 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:22.159 gymnastics required to get to the point to where Trump is convicted and Biden is 495 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:24.840 convicted Hunter Biden is convicted is not the same thing, not the same thing 496 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.239 at all. One of them's pretty straightforward and easy to follow. The other 497 00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:34.599 one requires you to do all sorts of mental gymnastics and to look at all 498 00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.840 sorts of first and a factor in the political component, and a factor in 499 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.840 the other trials, the other things that are going on, and impeachment one, 500 00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:45.559 impeachment two, January sixth, all of this stuff, they're not the 501 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.199 same thing. I'm out of time, my friends, gotta go. SDG
