Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for conservative
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been
documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. Here's your Conservative but Not Bitter host, Tod Huff.
Yes, indeed, my friends, Conservative not Bitter Talk is where you have
tuned in today, and that was a fantastic decision on your part. I
must say, welcome to the program. Email should you want to be part
of this conversation today, and we have a ton of stuff in the stack
of stuff today to get through. That's always, of course at our website,
totefshow dot com. But you can also email if you want to be
part of the conversation Todd at todefshow dot com. Text as well. You
can text your thoughts, questions, feedback. You know, the drill always
include that adoration and praise three one seven, two one zero twenty eight thirty.
So I have accumulated a lot of stuff here over the past, over
this week, some things that I wanted to try to get to, some
things that of course are developing. You know that we are in the beginning
of a year that promises to be one for the history books, my friends.
But let me start by just quickly, just quickly pointing out reminding,
well, I guess following up on something we talked about earlier this week,
and this is I think good news, although I'm not sure what Republicans have
learned from this. That remains to be seen. Arizona GOP chairman resigns resigns
as well he should have after the controversial audio recording involving Carrie Lake. We
played a part of that yesterday. I believe you can listen to that in
its entirety. I put that in yesterday's stack of stuff. Yesterday would have
been Thursday twenty fifth, But the chairman of the Republican Party in the state
of Arizona has resigned as well he should. Jeff DeWitt is his name.
He was caught on audio allegedly trying to bribe Carrie Lake to not run for
Senate in the state of Arizona, and that audio was released, I believe
by Carrie. I don't know if someone else was there. I'm sure that
was ever even officially said, but it sounded like it was audio that was
coming from her person because her audio was higher, which means I think the
microphone was somewhere on her. Anyway, he's gone as well he should be.
And I said yesterday at the end of the program, and I actually
wanted to update you on this in general, since we talked about it,
but I also wanted to start here because it leads into everything else political happening
in this country in the sense that in the sense that we are dealing with
a bunch of people like this is the standard operating procedure for politicians in a
lot of ways. And I ended the program yesterday by saying that I've gotten
to the point in my mind, I'm so sick of the swamp of this
just disgusting way of operation, operating, the operating procedures that we have in
this country, in our political system absolutely reprehensible here, and I said that,
you know, I am beginning. I've gotten to the point where if
you are not releasing audio like this, or you're not on the cutting edge
of trying to expose and shine light on the hidden nastiness of the swamp,
then until you demonstrate that you are exposing people, I think there's so much
of it. I think I think that it's right there for anybody who really
cares about it to expose it. Until I start seeing released audios from other
politicians, from other people who are in Washington, d C. Until I
see more of this happening, I'm going to assume that they are part of
the problem. I am going to s they have to earn my trust that
it is. It is so pathetically bad. I mean, if you listened
to the sound bite yesterday or the audio that that was released, what whether
you listened here or or on your own. I think I just to get
a flavor of the conversation. The ease at which mister DeWitt entered into this
conversation with Carrie Lake shows us that this is the way that it's done,
shows us that it was not the first time that he had a conversation where
he was trying to bribe someone or have some unethical immoral I would I would
argue conversation and ways of trying to stifle a movement, ways of trying to
get people to fall in line. He said, they want to make sure
you're on the team. Well, who's team? It reminds me I had
this was long before I did this program. I had a conversation with a
representative that I ran into. There were many representatives at an event that I
was in, an event that I was at, and I went up to
this individual, and it was at a time it was during Obama's term,
right after Obamacare, or maybe it might have been after Obama just won his
second term. I can't remember. It was around there ten twenty twelve,
either the mid terms of Obama his first term or at the beginning of Obama's
second term. And I went up to this congress person and I made the
comment that you know, there was a large crowd in attendance, and I
said, look, these are the people, these people that are here on
a Tuesday night or whatever it was, it was a week night. I
said, for every person here, there's countless others that just simply can't get
here. They're not happy with what's going on in Washington, DC, they
don't like the growth of government, they don't like Obamacare. They're standing behind
Republicans who actually are fighting. They just can't come here. And this congressman
looked to me and said, well, why didn't they show up on election
Day? It must have been it must have been after mitt Romney lost.
It was because now I'm starting to starting coming to picture or coming to view,
and I said, well, the way that it was phrased, it
sounded like, why didn't you guys the voters, why didn't you help us
on election day? And I made the comment that, well, you know,
conservatives like to get behind conservative candidates and Mitt Romney was far from that.
And some other comments were made, but basically it sounded like this congressman
thought they were on one team and I was on the other. The voters
were on the other. And I looked at this congress person and said,
I thought we were on the same team. And I began to realize,
I don't know. Sometimes my friends, even people who go in campaign in
ways that reflects our beliefs, I don't know how much of the how much
of those folks actually view us as part of the same team. Well,
you guys didn't do this. You guys didn't show up and do that.
We're out here in Washington, DC or wherever you know, at the state
Capitol building wherever this representative was serving, and you guys didn't. You guys
didn't do it. We did our part, except that they haven't done their
part, and that's the point. And then on top of that, we
got to think about how many backroom discussions like this that Carry Lake exposed,
how many of these things are happening. So it is with that in mind
that I want to move on to this next issue. And I don't want
to spend a lot of time on this today because as I've shared with you,
I got a ton of stuff in the stack of stuff. But there
are headlines today and I want you to have in the front of your mind
as I read these headlines as we talk about this issue. We will get
into the next segment with this as well, but I just want you to
keep in mind this is what happens behind closed doors with these professional politicians,
the political ruling class. If you will headline here, Senator McConnell, of
course, the Senate Minority leader, now Republican from the state Commonwealth of Kentucky,
I should say, pressures fellow Republican senators to back a quote secret border
bill before it's released for public debate. So excuse me, Mitch McConnell is
out there lobbying senators, trying to get them to support a bill on the
border, which pause all of that pause all of that. If you remember,
we've been talking about the border on this program for a long long time.
Couple of couple of background tidbits that are are important here. Number one,
the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, released a report and that report
found that report revealed that Biden, President Biden himself, his administration summarily released
six point two illegal aliens into the United States by using a loophole, a
parole loophole. So they have summarily they have just said boom, you're gone,
You're released into the public. Six point two million illegal aliens with the
swipe of a pen or whatever that have been released into the public using a
parole loophole. Now we talk about the problem with illegal immigration, we talk
about cities being overwhelmed. That's another thing I want to get to here.
Nine Democrat governors have been urging Biden and now Congress to act on illegal immigration.
And here's where we get to the part where they conflate things. It
is not Congress's fault that six point two million illegal aliens have been released summarily
into this country by the administration. Now they want to point to all sorts
of problems. They want to say we don't have enough money, we don't
do this, Republicans in Congress or just want to make this a political issue.
None of these things, my friends, None of these things, my
friends, were issues when Trump began to try to take efforts or make efforts
to secure the southern border. These things have all gotten progressively worse, sometimes
dramatically, so since the day Biden took office on January twentieth, twenty twenty
one, a little bit longer than three years now. So we have three
years of administration policies that have made things worse. Now. I'm not here
to say that Congress has no that there's no law or deal that can be
made about immigration, border security, there's I'm not saying that there's nothing that
can be get done to improve the situation. But what I am saying is
that it was tremendously better under Trump. It has gotten horrible under President Biden.
And some of these things are one hundred percent, one hundred percent the
fault of the administration. If there's more than if there's a situation where you're
trying to come up with, you know, a specific way on how to
enforce the law, and if there are two potential ways to handle it in
well, let's assume that they're trying to actually enforce the law. But if
there's a way to be to be strong and enforce the law in a strong
way, or to interpret it and apply it in the most loose and the
most generous and the most well open border way possible, the administration, every
single time, one percent of the time chooses that. And so at some
point it's like saying, you know, every every every time you have a
meal, if you decide to have a couple of pieces of cake, right,
eventually you're going to start to pack on, pack on some pounds.
And you could say, well, it's the cake, and it's not just
the piece of cake you had after dinner one night. It's the piece of
cake you're having after every meal and probably as a snack. And so the
totality of all these decisions decisions to implement ways that they're going to allegedly enforce
the law, which in many ways it's I think it's clear that they're not
even trying to enforce the law. But let's give them the benefit of that
out and say they're okay, the law is this, and now they say,
how what are the steps specifically we're going to take they choose the one
that leads to the most open border possible. That's what they do. That's
what they do. And now again I mentioned this, six point two million
people legal aliens released via a parole loophole by Biden summarily just with the stroke
of a pen. Six point two million people free to go. So there
are real ramifications of this. And now they're what they're doing, and they
do this a lot, by the way, they break the system, and
then they say we have to have Congress fixed the administration. Now I don't
want to say Congress ever fixed the problem, because they really didn't. It
was President Trump that fixed the problem insomuch as he could during his term here
a few years ago. But Biden and his team have tried to dismantle any
positive step the Trump administration had made in securing our southern border in slowing illegal
immigration. So there are certainly things that can be done by Congress. But
if we just simply returned Trump's the way that Trump ran the White House,
the way that Trump ran the executive branch, and just simply returned to that,
that would address huge amounts of this problem in a positive way. But
instead they've broken it intentionally. I might add they've broken it intentionally. They've
overwhelmed their cities, They've made it. They wanted to hurt people so that
they can really get their attention with it. And then what do they want
to do? What do they want to do? They want to grow the
government. They want to create some sort of a pathway to citizenship or amnesty
or whatever. We've done this in the past, where we back when Reagan
was president, actually there was a pathway. Amnesty was granted and in return,
the border was supposed to be secured. It never was. It never
was. This is a game. This is a an attempt to do several
things. I think, break this country so that they can remake it in
their leftist worldview. But it's also to import as many people as possible that
they could possibly get to cast ballots here in twenty twenty four. And there's
other things as well. There's the issue with inexpensive labor, which is where
the Republican senators are I guess kind of coming together on this. But when
Mitch McConnell talks about a secret border bill, he wants people in the Senate,
want senators to support that before that bill is released. I just want
you to remember that conversation that Carrie Lake had with mister de Witt, the
former now former Republican chair of the State of Arizona, and ask yourself how
many conversations like that are happening right now that if you and I had the
audio from we would be absolutely floored, angered and raged, dismayed. Just
that is what I fear, my friends, is happening here. It's not
a transparent way of doing things. This. The American people know there's a
problem on the border. I've said before, we've actually won the argument on
the border. But how many times? How many times have we won the
argument? But these politicians will manipulate that and create legislation that doesn't do what
needs to be done, that doesn't even do what Americans want to have done,
what we all need, what we all know needs to happen. Instead,
they will use it to personally benefit themselves, to see the policies that
they want to see pushed through Congress pushed through. It's absolutely completely inexcusable,
my friends. Timeout is in order. Though timeout is in order, There's
going to be a time out here when we get back a few more words
about this, and I've got plenty of other stuff I want to get to,
but I wanted to make sure that that stayed on your radar, because
this is something they're going to try to pass through in the dead to night.
It appears we'll see if it can pass the House, but it looks
like it's going to pass the Senate, and then we'll see what House Republicans
do. Anyway, timeouts in order to my friends, sit tight. You're
listening to conservative not better talk. By the way, I should let you
know that listening to this program has been documented by scientists eight percent. It's
even one more percent than believe that man is contributing to climate change. Ninety
eight percent. Want you to know that listening can cause you to lean to
the right, so exercise extreme caution when driving a vehicle or operating heavy machinery.
Back here in just a minute, welcome back to my friends. I
want to talk a little bit more about what's happening with border legislation, illegal
immigration legislation, what they're calling a migration legislation. I guess this again.
They conflate things. Right, the American people want a secure border. Now
there might be other things that Americans still disagree about specifically how to handle it,
you know, how to handle the folks that are here. By the
way, Pakistan, and I again thank President Obama for teaching me how to
say that correctly. But Pakistan deported five hundred thousand Afghans in just four months.
I've got that story in the stack of stuff as well. We act
like this is not a possible thing to remove people who are here illegally and
so forth. Look, and I understand the human component of this. I
understand that. You know, actually the conservative position on this is remarkably consistent.
This country is a fantastic place in spite of what the left has tried
to do to it. And I'm not saying it hasn't made a mark.
I'm not saying that they haven't caused problems. I'm not saying that there isn't
anything that any damage that's been done, because it has been. But this
place is still a remarkable place, especially when you have the viewpoint of history.
You see it through that lens, through the historical lens, and the
way that average people have lived on this planet since the dawn of humanity,
since creation, and well, how about since the fall creation had it better
than us at the beginning, my friends. But since the fall of man,
we've had problems. There has been difficulty, And if you look at
history over the millennia, what you often find is that tyranny was a problem,
poverty was a problem, war was a problem, disease was a problem,
all sorts of things that humanity has had to contend with and deal with.
Many of these things, at least some of these things were the direct
result of actions taken, decisions taken by by leaders, by governments. In
the twentieth century alone, we had one hundred million people killed by their own
government, which is just astonishing. Yet we have people clamoring to grow government
to be like the governments that were killing their people in the twentieth century.
Anyway, So history is replete with examples of people who are having faced difficult
times. And there's a difference, of course, between living in America and
having i mean relative comfort. And look, I know, on an individual
level, we all could have personal problems. We all could be dealing with
sickness, disease, divorce, financial calamity, bankruptcy, the loss of loved
ones, all of these things that unfortunately is a shared human experience that again
can be traced back to the Fall. But I'm talking about the quality of
life the society that has been built. The cult, well, they try
to destroy the culture as well, but just the standard of living that's being
created. And we have we live in an era and in a place that
is largely unmatched in that department. And of course we've helped raise the standard
of living for people around the world by unleashing free markets. And so I
love what this country does has done. I love what it's what it stands
for, and the freedoms that it's built upon the foundation of this country,
those are very very good things. Freedom, free markets, free speech,
right to your own conscience. You're a citizen, not a subject of some
ruling power and authority. Rights come from God, our creator, not from
government someone who's been elected to have some political authority in the country or in
the state or whatever. And so it makes sense that the America that I
know and love and that you know and love, we understand why people want
to come here. But if you listen to the leftists, the average leftist
describe this country today, you know, you know that that's not a country
that anybody would want to live in. They find problems with everything. They
think everything about this country is just sick and twisted and broken and racist and
homophobic and everything else. And of course there are individuals people that are those
things. But as a whole, as this nation has developed and been made
better over time, this union been having been made more perfect or closer to
perfect. Of course we're still light years away from that, but it's been
made, it's been improved upon. Things are better. But the left axe
as though this is the most reprehensible place on the planet, So why would
anyone want to come here? See, that's an irreconcilable system of belief in
their worldview. If they were consistent, they would be marching to places like
Venezuela. They would there would be a caravan going through Mexico the other direction.
Of course, we know the director of the caravan is making its the
path of the caravan is coming north to our southern southern border. Anyway,
So they have completely that they've they've mischaracterized really the beauty of this country.
They hate this country. They want to remake it in ways that again reflect
their leftist worldview and ideology, and they're prepared to do whatever it takes,
and I worry. Although I don't worry, I'm concerned that these Republicans,
led by Mitch McConnell, are looking for ways to negotiate this pass legislation that's
not really what the American people want. That they they're capitalizing on the desire
of all the vast majority of Americans to secure the southern border, and they're
going to use this or they're going to try to use this as a way
to grow the government to probably get some you know, port projects, or
some Ukraine funding or something else like that. This is not you know,
if if they were really interested in just stopping what was happening, it would
be a clean bill on securing the border, period. That would be it.
We don't know what's even in this thing yet, because it's of course
a secret bill. Don't tell anybody, you can't know, but you got
to support it. McConnell's out there trying to channel his inner Nancy Pelosi.
Apparently we've got to pass the bill in order to find out what is in
it. Timeouts in order, though, my friends shifting gears on the other
side of the break, you're listening to conservative not better talk back here in
just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. If you are a daily
listener of this program, and of course, let's face it, why shouldn't
you be, you're a daily listener of this program, you would have heard
me earlier this week reference the story that I want to get to here,
at least in the latter part of the Today's program, and that is that
is a story, a story about a journalist, a so called journalist named
Jennifer Ruben, and she wants people who are considering voting for Trump. So
she's she's given up hope on people that have already cast ballots for Trump.
She's given up hope on the MAGA crowd, She's given up hope. She
thinks that these folks, if you voted for Trump in the past, you
know your you're a lost cause. She's just thrown her hands up in the
air and thinks these folks, I mean, probably need to be moved out
to their own island somewhere and isolated from society. She doesn't say that,
but I'm guessing that's that's what she thinks. Because she thinks those who are
on the fence, those who are possibly open to being persuaded to vote for
Trump, she would say, those who are flirting with Trump, She says,
those folks need to be re educated. So I want to talk about
that here in the latter part of the program, And there's other things I
probably want to that we will hit on as well. But before I do
that, let me tell you a little bit. How about one of our
partners here at the show, Harvard Gold Group. If you listen to this
program for a while, you would know you had heard me say that gold
has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the DOW since nineteen seventy one.
That, of course, is when the US took the dollar off of
the gold standard. And then the question is do you think that that is
a coincidence? Is that a coincidence or is that not a coincidence? See,
when the US government allowed people to own gold again, they reclassified gold
as a commodity rather than a paper currency backstop. Even though the US hoards
and holds the highest amount of physical gold in its reserve, all countries,
all central banks, all major institutions, even the IMF International Monetary Fund itself
own a substantial amount of gold. If all entities that control that fiat money,
fiat paper money system. If they all have gold, should you is
the question? If you like to learn more about that, let me direct
you where to go here. Harvardgoldgroup dot com is the website. You can
visit Harvard Goldgroup dot com. You can use promo code Todd my first name,
and you can get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit Harvard Gooldgroup dot
com. Use promo code Todd to get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit.
So so, so, so let's get into this, and I'm just
going to kind of set the scene here and then we'll have a sound,
right. I just can't you know this Jennifer Rubens story. This is the
Washington Examiner, Liberal media scream, Washington Posts Ruben. Jennifer Ruben wants Trump
fascists re educated. So there's other stuff in the stack of story that kind
of echo this. When the left, my friends, doesn't have the support
that it thinks that it should have. They never believe the problem is their
policies. They never believe the problem is their ideas. They never believe the
problem is their worldview. They don't believe the problem is candidates. At least
that's what they want. You to think. I remember Nancy Pelosi years ago.
They do this all the time, anytime they lose an election. It's
always about the messaging. They always will say some version of this. You
know, we have the ideas that the American people love than one. These
ideas have been proven to just improve the lifestyle of Americans. This is what
they want, but we're just not communicating it clearly enough. To that,
I say hogwash. To that, I say hogwash because what they actually have
is completely the opposite. They have a they're an inch deep and a mile
wide. Jesus, by the way, and I'm just very I just I
like the analogy. Jesus told the religiously self righteous that they were like whitewashed
tombs. They looked beautiful on the outside, but on the inside they were
dead. And I'm telling you the idea, the ideas, the of course,
they're mostly feelings. What's being promoted and touted by the left, their
agenda, their platform, and so forth. They try to make it look
like this whitewash tomb. It's beautiful on the outside, but on the inside,
of course, it is dead. And that is what we are effectively
effectively dealing with here and if people still won't change their minds, right,
they try to say, well, we haven't communicated it clearly enough. You
know, people are too stupid, which is the next step. And now,
of course, if they're too stupid, Jennifer Ruben and people of her
ilk would say, hey, you know, this is something that needs to
be done. We need we need to re educate them, We need to
retrain them to be little leftists. They should be accepting what we're telling them
every day, but they're not. In fact, they're still flirting with a
vote for Trump in spite of the fact that he's been indicted ninety one times
and he's facing four trials, and he's been impeached twice, and he's a
danger to our democracy and to engage in an insurrection, and he's being removed
from ballots. By the way, by the way, why is the latest
state to try to keep Trump off of its ballot? And Main's Secretary of
State is creating all sorts of tumult and chaos up there by trying to keep
Trump off the ballot there anyway, but this is the narrative, and if
you don't buy it, if you don't accept it, heavens if you voted
for Biden in twenty twenty and are thinking about voting for Trump in twenty twenty
four. The only thing they have to say to you is you need to
be re educated. And so I'm gonna play that SoundBite on the other side
of the break. My friend's quick timeout is in order to sit tight back
here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So I've been
wanting to play this since earlier in the week when I first saw this read
this story Jennifer Ruben. She's on with Velshi on MSNBC. Now you didn't
see this because nobody sees this stuff, but she's on here complaining. In
fact, on the screen it says the GOP's unshakable support for Donald Trump.
She's complaining and whining and moaning and just throwing her hands up in the air
as to why people are still supporting Trump in spite of everything that the media,
the radical Left, the other members of the Seven Pillars of Propaganda have
thrown at his campaign, at him personally, at him criminally, at him
politically, whatever else. So I just want you to listen to this.
It's a minute or so. She wants if you voted for Trump, she's
kind of given up. But if you're thinking about it, if you're thinking
about it, she really thinks she needs to be re educated. And of
course who better to do that than some leftists who probably is in favor of
who knows what, some sort of lunacy that we see on college campuses the
day. Anyway, here she is, this is what she has to say.
It's perhaps important to go to one of these rallies is to understand why
he does have supporters. These people are part of a fascist cult, and
let's see it, there are a lot of them, but a lot of
them doesn't mean that they're behaving logically irrationally, to the contrary we've seen in
other fascist resumes that millions of people, sometimes even a majority of the country
becomes intoxicated with an authoritarian figure. And these people are utterly irrational. If
you speak to some of them, they will see. By the way,
those are the people that have already voted for him. She's basically saying,
they're utterly irrational. You just can't even talk to them. It's kind of
beyond hope. So she continues telling you what happens if you even try to
talk to these people back these bizarro conspiracy theories. They actually believe in all
of the mumbo jumbo that he tells them. So I think there would be
a wake up call about what these people are about. And no, we're
not going to convince people who are part of the cult to switch. As
you say, they're impervious to any kind of data, any kind of information.
But what you have to do if you care about democracy is mobilized the
people who already know what he's a danger, and refirm and re educate the
people who are perhaps kind of flirting in the middle of loose Republicans. They're
never Republicans about the danger of going back to Trump. And I think that's
the job between now and November. And that's the challenge for the Biden administration.
Well, good luck with that Biden administration. The guy can't even complete
a sentence anyway. She once you re educated. If you're someone that's voted
for Trump a long time, she says, you're impervious to the data.
You're impervious, you're hard headed, you are unfit. Really, probably you
should be exiled somewhere. She didn't say this, I'm just filling in the
blanks for you. You should probably be exiled, put in an atturnment camp,
but just basically not allowed to procreate. Just you know, just live
your days and get that. You know, we don't want that DNA passed
on to the next generation. If you haven't yet voted for Trump, but
yet you're flirting with the idea of it, She's got the answer for that,
of course as well, and that is for these leftists to get around
you scream in your ear, cry and scream at the universe and tell you
how bad Trump is and re educate you. My friends, what a bunch
of nonsense. Quick time out back here in just a minute. Welcome back
to my friends. If you want us listen to or I guess reference anything
that you heard us talk about on today's program, you can always go two
hour show notes, page tot to show. That's show notes. I think
I used to call them that a long time ago. It's the stack of
stuff. It's the hat tip to the late great Rustling Ball. You can
go to the stack of stuff for today this is Friday, January twenty sixth.
Then you can check out anything that we've referenced read more. You can
see things that I had in the stack that we couldn't get to as well,
my friends. The other thing I'll tell you is if you can only
listen to this program on the weekends, it's some stations we're only on we're
only on certain days, maybe once a week. Some we're on daily.
But you can always go to totepshow dot com and sob sure listen to the
website or to the podcast there, or download the podcast for free. Anyway,
my friends, have a great weekend. We'll see Monday. SDG
