00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.759
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been

3
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.519

to the right. Here's your Conservative

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.280
Yes, indeed, my friends,
Conservative not Bitter Talk is where you have

6
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.159
tuned in today, and that was
a fantastic decision on your part. I

00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:51.679
must say, welcome to the program. Email should you want to be part

8
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.520
of this conversation today, and we
have a ton of stuff in the stack

9
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.119
of stuff today to get through.
That's always, of course at our website,

10
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.040
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

12
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.799

feedback. You know, the drill always

13
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.640
include that adoration and praise three one
seven, two one zero twenty eight thirty.

14
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.920
So I have accumulated a lot of
stuff here over the past, over

15
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.799
this week, some things that I
wanted to try to get to, some

16
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.879
things that of course are developing.
You know that we are in the beginning

17
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.560
of a year that promises to be
one for the history books, my friends.

18
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.760
But let me start by just quickly, just quickly pointing out reminding,

19
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.359
well, I guess following up on
something we talked about earlier this week,

20
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.959
and this is I think good news, although I'm not sure what Republicans have

21
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:06.519
learned from this. That remains to
be seen. Arizona GOP chairman resigns resigns

22
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:15.000
as well he should have after the
controversial audio recording involving Carrie Lake. We

23
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:21.560
played a part of that yesterday.
I believe you can listen to that in

24
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.840
its entirety. I put that in
yesterday's stack of stuff. Yesterday would have

25
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.919
been Thursday twenty fifth, But the
chairman of the Republican Party in the state

26
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:38.960
of Arizona has resigned as well he
should. Jeff DeWitt is his name.

27
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:47.759
He was caught on audio allegedly trying
to bribe Carrie Lake to not run for

28
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.319
Senate in the state of Arizona,
and that audio was released, I believe

29
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.439
by Carrie. I don't know if
someone else was there. I'm sure that

30
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.280
was ever even officially said, but
it sounded like it was audio that was

31
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.080
coming from her person because her audio
was higher, which means I think the

32
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.199
microphone was somewhere on her. Anyway, he's gone as well he should be.

33
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.719
And I said yesterday at the end
of the program, and I actually

34
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.520
wanted to update you on this in
general, since we talked about it,

35
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.439
but I also wanted to start here
because it leads into everything else political happening

36
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:37.159
in this country in the sense that
in the sense that we are dealing with

37
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:46.000
a bunch of people like this is
the standard operating procedure for politicians in a

38
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.400
lot of ways. And I ended
the program yesterday by saying that I've gotten

39
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.599
to the point in my mind,
I'm so sick of the swamp of this

40
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.479
just disgusting way of operation, operating, the operating procedures that we have in

41
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:10.319
this country, in our political system
absolutely reprehensible here, and I said that,

42
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.840
you know, I am beginning.
I've gotten to the point where if

43
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.079
you are not releasing audio like this, or you're not on the cutting edge

44
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:28.199
of trying to expose and shine light
on the hidden nastiness of the swamp,

45
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:34.160
then until you demonstrate that you are
exposing people, I think there's so much

46
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.199
of it. I think I think
that it's right there for anybody who really

47
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:46.160
cares about it to expose it.
Until I start seeing released audios from other

48
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:53.480
politicians, from other people who are
in Washington, d C. Until I

49
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.360
see more of this happening, I'm
going to assume that they are part of

50
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.920
the problem. I am going to
s they have to earn my trust that

51
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.319
it is. It is so pathetically
bad. I mean, if you listened

52
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.879
to the sound bite yesterday or the
audio that that was released, what whether

53
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.759
you listened here or or on your
own. I think I just to get

54
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:24.240
a flavor of the conversation. The
ease at which mister DeWitt entered into this

55
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:30.000
conversation with Carrie Lake shows us that
this is the way that it's done,

56
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.160
shows us that it was not the
first time that he had a conversation where

57
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:44.560
he was trying to bribe someone or
have some unethical immoral I would I would

58
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:54.319
argue conversation and ways of trying to
stifle a movement, ways of trying to

59
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.000
get people to fall in line.
He said, they want to make sure

60
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.000
you're on the team. Well,
who's team? It reminds me I had

61
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.000
this was long before I did this
program. I had a conversation with a

62
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.879
representative that I ran into. There
were many representatives at an event that I

63
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.040
was in, an event that I
was at, and I went up to

64
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:23.920
this individual, and it was at
a time it was during Obama's term,

65
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.959
right after Obamacare, or maybe it
might have been after Obama just won his

66
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.279
second term. I can't remember.
It was around there ten twenty twelve,

67
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.360
either the mid terms of Obama his
first term or at the beginning of Obama's

68
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.680
second term. And I went up
to this congress person and I made the

69
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.160
comment that you know, there was
a large crowd in attendance, and I

70
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.160
said, look, these are the
people, these people that are here on

71
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.560
a Tuesday night or whatever it was, it was a week night. I

72
00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.199
said, for every person here,
there's countless others that just simply can't get

73
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.279
here. They're not happy with what's
going on in Washington, DC, they

74
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:10.319
don't like the growth of government,
they don't like Obamacare. They're standing behind

75
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.079
Republicans who actually are fighting. They
just can't come here. And this congressman

76
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:21.480
looked to me and said, well, why didn't they show up on election

77
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.959
Day? It must have been it
must have been after mitt Romney lost.

78
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.160
It was because now I'm starting to
starting coming to picture or coming to view,

79
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.160
and I said, well, the
way that it was phrased, it

80
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:41.879
sounded like, why didn't you guys
the voters, why didn't you help us

81
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.879
on election day? And I made
the comment that, well, you know,

82
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.720
conservatives like to get behind conservative candidates
and Mitt Romney was far from that.

83
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.720
And some other comments were made,
but basically it sounded like this congressman

84
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.600
thought they were on one team and
I was on the other. The voters

85
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.319
were on the other. And I
looked at this congress person and said,

86
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.759
I thought we were on the same
team. And I began to realize,

87
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.199
I don't know. Sometimes my friends, even people who go in campaign in

88
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:24.639
ways that reflects our beliefs, I
don't know how much of the how much

89
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.000
of those folks actually view us as
part of the same team. Well,

90
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.600
you guys didn't do this. You
guys didn't show up and do that.

91
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.759
We're out here in Washington, DC
or wherever you know, at the state

92
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.919
Capitol building wherever this representative was serving, and you guys didn't. You guys

93
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.679
didn't do it. We did our
part, except that they haven't done their

94
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.320
part, and that's the point.
And then on top of that, we

95
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.960
got to think about how many backroom
discussions like this that Carry Lake exposed,

96
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.360
how many of these things are happening. So it is with that in mind

97
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.840
that I want to move on to
this next issue. And I don't want

98
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.759
to spend a lot of time on
this today because as I've shared with you,

99
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.000
I got a ton of stuff in
the stack of stuff. But there

100
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.480
are headlines today and I want you
to have in the front of your mind

101
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.279
as I read these headlines as we
talk about this issue. We will get

102
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.120
into the next segment with this as
well, but I just want you to

103
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.480
keep in mind this is what happens
behind closed doors with these professional politicians,

104
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.879
the political ruling class. If you
will headline here, Senator McConnell, of

105
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.720
course, the Senate Minority leader,
now Republican from the state Commonwealth of Kentucky,

106
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.080
I should say, pressures fellow Republican
senators to back a quote secret border

107
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:52.240
bill before it's released for public debate. So excuse me, Mitch McConnell is

108
00:09:52.279 --> 00:10:00.360
out there lobbying senators, trying to
get them to support a bill on the

109
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.720
border, which pause all of that
pause all of that. If you remember,

110
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.639
we've been talking about the border on
this program for a long long time.

111
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.919
Couple of couple of background tidbits that
are are important here. Number one,

112
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.440
the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, released a report and that report

113
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:28.159
found that report revealed that Biden,
President Biden himself, his administration summarily released

114
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:37.639
six point two illegal aliens into the
United States by using a loophole, a

115
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.200
parole loophole. So they have summarily
they have just said boom, you're gone,

116
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:50.360
You're released into the public. Six
point two million illegal aliens with the

117
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.200
swipe of a pen or whatever that
have been released into the public using a

118
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.480
parole loophole. Now we talk about
the problem with illegal immigration, we talk

119
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.879
about cities being overwhelmed. That's another
thing I want to get to here.

120
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:11.960
Nine Democrat governors have been urging Biden
and now Congress to act on illegal immigration.

121
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.519
And here's where we get to the
part where they conflate things. It

122
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:24.240
is not Congress's fault that six point
two million illegal aliens have been released summarily

123
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:31.840
into this country by the administration.
Now they want to point to all sorts

124
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.240
of problems. They want to say
we don't have enough money, we don't

125
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.000
do this, Republicans in Congress or
just want to make this a political issue.

126
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.840
None of these things, my friends, None of these things, my

127
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.600
friends, were issues when Trump began
to try to take efforts or make efforts

128
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:56.320
to secure the southern border. These
things have all gotten progressively worse, sometimes

129
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:03.799
dramatically, so since the day Biden
took office on January twentieth, twenty twenty

130
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.480
one, a little bit longer than
three years now. So we have three

131
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:13.879
years of administration policies that have made
things worse. Now. I'm not here

132
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.240
to say that Congress has no that
there's no law or deal that can be

133
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.320
made about immigration, border security,
there's I'm not saying that there's nothing that

134
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.879
can be get done to improve the
situation. But what I am saying is

135
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:37.559
that it was tremendously better under Trump. It has gotten horrible under President Biden.

136
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:43.039
And some of these things are one
hundred percent, one hundred percent the

137
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.039
fault of the administration. If there's
more than if there's a situation where you're

138
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.279
trying to come up with, you
know, a specific way on how to

139
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:58.200
enforce the law, and if there
are two potential ways to handle it in

140
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.679
well, let's assume that they're trying
to actually enforce the law. But if

141
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.960
there's a way to be to be
strong and enforce the law in a strong

142
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.720
way, or to interpret it and
apply it in the most loose and the

143
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:22.039
most generous and the most well open
border way possible, the administration, every

144
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.320
single time, one percent of the
time chooses that. And so at some

145
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:37.440
point it's like saying, you know, every every every time you have a

146
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.799
meal, if you decide to have
a couple of pieces of cake, right,

147
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.000
eventually you're going to start to pack
on, pack on some pounds.

148
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.879
And you could say, well,
it's the cake, and it's not just

149
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.440
the piece of cake you had after
dinner one night. It's the piece of

150
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.440
cake you're having after every meal and
probably as a snack. And so the

151
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:09.120
totality of all these decisions decisions to
implement ways that they're going to allegedly enforce

152
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.879
the law, which in many ways
it's I think it's clear that they're not

153
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.080
even trying to enforce the law.
But let's give them the benefit of that

154
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.840
out and say they're okay, the
law is this, and now they say,

155
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.039
how what are the steps specifically we're
going to take they choose the one

156
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:30.960
that leads to the most open border
possible. That's what they do. That's

157
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.960
what they do. And now again
I mentioned this, six point two million

158
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:41.399
people legal aliens released via a parole
loophole by Biden summarily just with the stroke

159
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.840
of a pen. Six point two
million people free to go. So there

160
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.279
are real ramifications of this. And
now they're what they're doing, and they

161
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.000
do this a lot, by the
way, they break the system, and

162
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:01.679
then they say we have to have
Congress fixed the administration. Now I don't

163
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.039
want to say Congress ever fixed the
problem, because they really didn't. It

164
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.799
was President Trump that fixed the problem
insomuch as he could during his term here

165
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.639
a few years ago. But Biden
and his team have tried to dismantle any

166
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:24.879
positive step the Trump administration had made
in securing our southern border in slowing illegal

167
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.399
immigration. So there are certainly things
that can be done by Congress. But

168
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:37.840
if we just simply returned Trump's the
way that Trump ran the White House,

169
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.759
the way that Trump ran the executive
branch, and just simply returned to that,

170
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:50.919
that would address huge amounts of this
problem in a positive way. But

171
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:56.960
instead they've broken it intentionally. I
might add they've broken it intentionally. They've

172
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.480
overwhelmed their cities, They've made it. They wanted to hurt people so that

173
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.559
they can really get their attention with
it. And then what do they want

174
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.039
to do? What do they want
to do? They want to grow the

175
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:18.559
government. They want to create some
sort of a pathway to citizenship or amnesty

176
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:23.399
or whatever. We've done this in
the past, where we back when Reagan

177
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:29.720
was president, actually there was a
pathway. Amnesty was granted and in return,

178
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.919
the border was supposed to be secured. It never was. It never

179
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:40.120
was. This is a game.
This is a an attempt to do several

180
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.759
things. I think, break this
country so that they can remake it in

181
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:49.600
their leftist worldview. But it's also
to import as many people as possible that

182
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:56.039
they could possibly get to cast ballots
here in twenty twenty four. And there's

183
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.000
other things as well. There's the
issue with inexpensive labor, which is where

184
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:06.079
the Republican senators are I guess kind
of coming together on this. But when

185
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:10.759
Mitch McConnell talks about a secret border
bill, he wants people in the Senate,

186
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.240
want senators to support that before that
bill is released. I just want

187
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:22.440
you to remember that conversation that Carrie
Lake had with mister de Witt, the

188
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.720
former now former Republican chair of the
State of Arizona, and ask yourself how

189
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:33.119
many conversations like that are happening right
now that if you and I had the

190
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:42.519
audio from we would be absolutely floored, angered and raged, dismayed. Just

191
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.200
that is what I fear, my
friends, is happening here. It's not

192
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:55.119
a transparent way of doing things.
This. The American people know there's a

193
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.759
problem on the border. I've said
before, we've actually won the argument on

194
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:03.000
the border. But how many times? How many times have we won the

195
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:10.720
argument? But these politicians will manipulate
that and create legislation that doesn't do what

196
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:15.200
needs to be done, that doesn't
even do what Americans want to have done,

197
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.720
what we all need, what we
all know needs to happen. Instead,

198
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:25.039
they will use it to personally benefit
themselves, to see the policies that

199
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:32.680
they want to see pushed through Congress
pushed through. It's absolutely completely inexcusable,

200
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.680
my friends. Timeout is in order. Though timeout is in order, There's

201
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.160
going to be a time out here
when we get back a few more words

202
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.440
about this, and I've got plenty
of other stuff I want to get to,

203
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.240
but I wanted to make sure that
that stayed on your radar, because

204
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.039
this is something they're going to try
to pass through in the dead to night.

205
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.000
It appears we'll see if it can
pass the House, but it looks

206
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.079
like it's going to pass the Senate, and then we'll see what House Republicans

207
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.599
do. Anyway, timeouts in order
to my friends, sit tight. You're

208
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.400
listening to conservative not better talk.
By the way, I should let you

209
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:04.519
know that listening to this program has
been documented by scientists eight percent. It's

210
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:10.559
even one more percent than believe that
man is contributing to climate change. Ninety

211
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.480
eight percent. Want you to know
that listening can cause you to lean to

212
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.279
the right, so exercise extreme caution
when driving a vehicle or operating heavy machinery.

213
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:36.039
Back here in just a minute,
welcome back to my friends. I

214
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:42.200
want to talk a little bit more
about what's happening with border legislation, illegal

215
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:55.240
immigration legislation, what they're calling a
migration legislation. I guess this again.

216
00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:00.200
They conflate things. Right, the
American people want a secure border. Now

217
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.799
there might be other things that Americans
still disagree about specifically how to handle it,

218
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.519
you know, how to handle the
folks that are here. By the

219
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.319
way, Pakistan, and I again
thank President Obama for teaching me how to

220
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:23.319
say that correctly. But Pakistan deported
five hundred thousand Afghans in just four months.

221
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.440
I've got that story in the stack
of stuff as well. We act

222
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:33.359
like this is not a possible thing
to remove people who are here illegally and

223
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.119
so forth. Look, and I
understand the human component of this. I

224
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:44.480
understand that. You know, actually
the conservative position on this is remarkably consistent.

225
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:52.400
This country is a fantastic place in
spite of what the left has tried

226
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.920
to do to it. And I'm
not saying it hasn't made a mark.

227
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:02.119
I'm not saying that they haven't caused
problems. I'm not saying that there isn't

228
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:06.680
anything that any damage that's been done, because it has been. But this

229
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:12.319
place is still a remarkable place,
especially when you have the viewpoint of history.

230
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.720
You see it through that lens,
through the historical lens, and the

231
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:23.799
way that average people have lived on
this planet since the dawn of humanity,

232
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:32.039
since creation, and well, how
about since the fall creation had it better

233
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.799
than us at the beginning, my
friends. But since the fall of man,

234
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:42.160
we've had problems. There has been
difficulty, And if you look at

235
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:51.200
history over the millennia, what you
often find is that tyranny was a problem,

236
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:56.039
poverty was a problem, war was
a problem, disease was a problem,

237
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:02.920
all sorts of things that humanity has
had to contend with and deal with.

238
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.119
Many of these things, at least
some of these things were the direct

239
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:15.079
result of actions taken, decisions taken
by by leaders, by governments. In

240
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.880
the twentieth century alone, we had
one hundred million people killed by their own

241
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:27.359
government, which is just astonishing.
Yet we have people clamoring to grow government

242
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:34.640
to be like the governments that were
killing their people in the twentieth century.

243
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:48.160
Anyway, So history is replete with
examples of people who are having faced difficult

244
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.960
times. And there's a difference,
of course, between living in America and

245
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:57.240
having i mean relative comfort. And
look, I know, on an individual

246
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.359
level, we all could have personal
problems. We all could be dealing with

247
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:11.279
sickness, disease, divorce, financial
calamity, bankruptcy, the loss of loved

248
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.720
ones, all of these things that
unfortunately is a shared human experience that again

249
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.279
can be traced back to the Fall. But I'm talking about the quality of

250
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.440
life the society that has been built. The cult, well, they try

251
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.279
to destroy the culture as well,
but just the standard of living that's being

252
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.640
created. And we have we live
in an era and in a place that

253
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:41.680
is largely unmatched in that department.
And of course we've helped raise the standard

254
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.720
of living for people around the world
by unleashing free markets. And so I

255
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.960
love what this country does has done. I love what it's what it stands

256
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.799
for, and the freedoms that it's
built upon the foundation of this country,

257
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.920
those are very very good things.
Freedom, free markets, free speech,

258
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.759
right to your own conscience. You're
a citizen, not a subject of some

259
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:12.279
ruling power and authority. Rights come
from God, our creator, not from

260
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:22.839
government someone who's been elected to have
some political authority in the country or in

261
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.160
the state or whatever. And so
it makes sense that the America that I

262
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.400
know and love and that you know
and love, we understand why people want

263
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.160
to come here. But if you
listen to the leftists, the average leftist

264
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:44.000
describe this country today, you know, you know that that's not a country

265
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:48.400
that anybody would want to live in. They find problems with everything. They

266
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:55.240
think everything about this country is just
sick and twisted and broken and racist and

267
00:24:55.319 --> 00:25:00.240
homophobic and everything else. And of
course there are individuals people that are those

268
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:07.039
things. But as a whole,
as this nation has developed and been made

269
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.359
better over time, this union been
having been made more perfect or closer to

270
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.480
perfect. Of course we're still light
years away from that, but it's been

271
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:22.400
made, it's been improved upon.
Things are better. But the left axe

272
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.839
as though this is the most reprehensible
place on the planet, So why would

273
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:32.680
anyone want to come here? See, that's an irreconcilable system of belief in

274
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:36.880
their worldview. If they were consistent, they would be marching to places like

275
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:41.279
Venezuela. They would there would be
a caravan going through Mexico the other direction.

276
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:47.440
Of course, we know the director
of the caravan is making its the

277
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.720
path of the caravan is coming north
to our southern southern border. Anyway,

278
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:59.160
So they have completely that they've they've
mischaracterized really the beauty of this country.

279
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.920
They hate this country. They want
to remake it in ways that again reflect

280
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:07.440
their leftist worldview and ideology, and
they're prepared to do whatever it takes,

281
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.279
and I worry. Although I don't
worry, I'm concerned that these Republicans,

282
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:19.240
led by Mitch McConnell, are looking
for ways to negotiate this pass legislation that's

283
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:25.960
not really what the American people want. That they they're capitalizing on the desire

284
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.279
of all the vast majority of Americans
to secure the southern border, and they're

285
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.519
going to use this or they're going
to try to use this as a way

286
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:41.119
to grow the government to probably get
some you know, port projects, or

287
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.200
some Ukraine funding or something else like
that. This is not you know,

288
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.279
if if they were really interested in
just stopping what was happening, it would

289
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:55.240
be a clean bill on securing the
border, period. That would be it.

290
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.480
We don't know what's even in this
thing yet, because it's of course

291
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:03.000
a secret bill. Don't tell anybody, you can't know, but you got

292
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:08.359
to support it. McConnell's out there
trying to channel his inner Nancy Pelosi.

293
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.240
Apparently we've got to pass the bill
in order to find out what is in

294
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.359
it. Timeouts in order, though, my friends shifting gears on the other

295
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:17.960
side of the break, you're listening
to conservative not better talk back here in

296
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:34.480
just a minute. Welcome back to
my friends. If you are a daily

297
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:38.319
listener of this program, and of
course, let's face it, why shouldn't

298
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.640
you be, you're a daily listener
of this program, you would have heard

299
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:47.240
me earlier this week reference the story
that I want to get to here,

300
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:53.119
at least in the latter part of
the Today's program, and that is that

301
00:27:53.400 --> 00:28:00.839
is a story, a story about
a journalist, a so called journalist named

302
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:12.599
Jennifer Ruben, and she wants people
who are considering voting for Trump. So

303
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:19.160
she's she's given up hope on people
that have already cast ballots for Trump.

304
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.880
She's given up hope on the MAGA
crowd, She's given up hope. She

305
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:29.200
thinks that these folks, if you
voted for Trump in the past, you

306
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.559
know your you're a lost cause.
She's just thrown her hands up in the

307
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.839
air and thinks these folks, I
mean, probably need to be moved out

308
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:41.279
to their own island somewhere and isolated
from society. She doesn't say that,

309
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.400
but I'm guessing that's that's what she
thinks. Because she thinks those who are

310
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:52.960
on the fence, those who are
possibly open to being persuaded to vote for

311
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:57.680
Trump, she would say, those
who are flirting with Trump, She says,

312
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:02.400
those folks need to be re educated. So I want to talk about

313
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:06.160
that here in the latter part of
the program, And there's other things I

314
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.480
probably want to that we will hit
on as well. But before I do

315
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.319
that, let me tell you a
little bit. How about one of our

316
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.880
partners here at the show, Harvard
Gold Group. If you listen to this

317
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.960
program for a while, you would
know you had heard me say that gold

318
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.240
has outperformed the S and P five
hundred and the DOW since nineteen seventy one.

319
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.400
That, of course, is when
the US took the dollar off of

320
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:37.400
the gold standard. And then the
question is do you think that that is

321
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:42.400
a coincidence? Is that a coincidence
or is that not a coincidence? See,

322
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.240
when the US government allowed people to
own gold again, they reclassified gold

323
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:56.640
as a commodity rather than a paper
currency backstop. Even though the US hoards

324
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:02.519
and holds the highest amount of physical
gold in its reserve, all countries,

325
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:08.359
all central banks, all major institutions, even the IMF International Monetary Fund itself

326
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:17.039
own a substantial amount of gold.
If all entities that control that fiat money,

327
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:22.920
fiat paper money system. If they
all have gold, should you is

328
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.960
the question? If you like to
learn more about that, let me direct

333
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.160
So so, so, so let's
get into this, and I'm just

334
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.720
going to kind of set the scene
here and then we'll have a sound,

335
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:06.319
right. I just can't you know
this Jennifer Rubens story. This is the

336
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:11.440
Washington Examiner, Liberal media scream,
Washington Posts Ruben. Jennifer Ruben wants Trump

337
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:18.240
fascists re educated. So there's other
stuff in the stack of story that kind

338
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:23.319
of echo this. When the left, my friends, doesn't have the support

339
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:27.599
that it thinks that it should have. They never believe the problem is their

340
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:33.640
policies. They never believe the problem
is their ideas. They never believe the

341
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:40.519
problem is their worldview. They don't
believe the problem is candidates. At least

342
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:45.119
that's what they want. You to
think. I remember Nancy Pelosi years ago.

343
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.400
They do this all the time,
anytime they lose an election. It's

344
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:53.039
always about the messaging. They always
will say some version of this. You

345
00:31:53.079 --> 00:32:00.759
know, we have the ideas that
the American people love than one. These

346
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:07.720
ideas have been proven to just improve
the lifestyle of Americans. This is what

347
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:13.720
they want, but we're just not
communicating it clearly enough. To that,

348
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.799
I say hogwash. To that,
I say hogwash because what they actually have

349
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:23.359
is completely the opposite. They have
a they're an inch deep and a mile

350
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:28.079
wide. Jesus, by the way, and I'm just very I just I

351
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:36.440
like the analogy. Jesus told the
religiously self righteous that they were like whitewashed

352
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:40.359
tombs. They looked beautiful on the
outside, but on the inside they were

353
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:45.039
dead. And I'm telling you the
idea, the ideas, the of course,

354
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:50.839
they're mostly feelings. What's being promoted
and touted by the left, their

355
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.200
agenda, their platform, and so
forth. They try to make it look

356
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.079
like this whitewash tomb. It's beautiful
on the outside, but on the inside,

357
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.880
of course, it is dead.
And that is what we are effectively

358
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:10.279
effectively dealing with here and if people
still won't change their minds, right,

359
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.400
they try to say, well,
we haven't communicated it clearly enough. You

360
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.079
know, people are too stupid,
which is the next step. And now,

361
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:24.119
of course, if they're too stupid, Jennifer Ruben and people of her

362
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:28.920
ilk would say, hey, you
know, this is something that needs to

363
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.960
be done. We need we need
to re educate them, We need to

364
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:37.400
retrain them to be little leftists.
They should be accepting what we're telling them

365
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.480
every day, but they're not.
In fact, they're still flirting with a

366
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:46.319
vote for Trump in spite of the
fact that he's been indicted ninety one times

367
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:51.359
and he's facing four trials, and
he's been impeached twice, and he's a

368
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.279
danger to our democracy and to engage
in an insurrection, and he's being removed

369
00:33:55.319 --> 00:34:00.960
from ballots. By the way,
by the way, why is the latest

370
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:06.400
state to try to keep Trump off
of its ballot? And Main's Secretary of

371
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.599
State is creating all sorts of tumult
and chaos up there by trying to keep

372
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:15.159
Trump off the ballot there anyway,
but this is the narrative, and if

373
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.599
you don't buy it, if you
don't accept it, heavens if you voted

374
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.559
for Biden in twenty twenty and are
thinking about voting for Trump in twenty twenty

375
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.599
four. The only thing they have
to say to you is you need to

376
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.480
be re educated. And so I'm
gonna play that SoundBite on the other side

377
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.639
of the break. My friend's quick
timeout is in order to sit tight back

378
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:47.719
here in just a minute. Welcome
back, my friends. So I've been

379
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:53.920
wanting to play this since earlier in
the week when I first saw this read

380
00:34:53.960 --> 00:35:01.559
this story Jennifer Ruben. She's on
with Velshi on MSNBC. Now you didn't

381
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:07.320
see this because nobody sees this stuff, but she's on here complaining. In

382
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:12.039
fact, on the screen it says
the GOP's unshakable support for Donald Trump.

383
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:16.440
She's complaining and whining and moaning and
just throwing her hands up in the air

384
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:22.199
as to why people are still supporting
Trump in spite of everything that the media,

385
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.960
the radical Left, the other members
of the Seven Pillars of Propaganda have

386
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:34.079
thrown at his campaign, at him
personally, at him criminally, at him

387
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.280
politically, whatever else. So I
just want you to listen to this.

388
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:44.039
It's a minute or so. She
wants if you voted for Trump, she's

389
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.480
kind of given up. But if
you're thinking about it, if you're thinking

390
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:50.400
about it, she really thinks she
needs to be re educated. And of

391
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.559
course who better to do that than
some leftists who probably is in favor of

392
00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.119
who knows what, some sort of
lunacy that we see on college campuses the

393
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:01.920
day. Anyway, here she is, this is what she has to say.

394
00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:06.679
It's perhaps important to go to one
of these rallies is to understand why

395
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.519
he does have supporters. These people
are part of a fascist cult, and

396
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:13.440
let's see it, there are a
lot of them, but a lot of

397
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:17.239
them doesn't mean that they're behaving logically
irrationally, to the contrary we've seen in

398
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:22.840
other fascist resumes that millions of people, sometimes even a majority of the country

399
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:28.920
becomes intoxicated with an authoritarian figure.
And these people are utterly irrational. If

400
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.119
you speak to some of them,
they will see. By the way,

401
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:35.519
those are the people that have already
voted for him. She's basically saying,

402
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.920
they're utterly irrational. You just can't
even talk to them. It's kind of

403
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:45.480
beyond hope. So she continues telling
you what happens if you even try to

404
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:51.039
talk to these people back these bizarro
conspiracy theories. They actually believe in all

405
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:54.840
of the mumbo jumbo that he tells
them. So I think there would be

406
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.599
a wake up call about what these
people are about. And no, we're

407
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:01.960
not going to convince people who are
part of the cult to switch. As

408
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:06.719
you say, they're impervious to any
kind of data, any kind of information.

409
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:09.920
But what you have to do if
you care about democracy is mobilized the

410
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.599
people who already know what he's a
danger, and refirm and re educate the

411
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.960
people who are perhaps kind of flirting
in the middle of loose Republicans. They're

412
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.280
never Republicans about the danger of going
back to Trump. And I think that's

413
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.519
the job between now and November.
And that's the challenge for the Biden administration.

414
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.039
Well, good luck with that Biden
administration. The guy can't even complete

415
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.800
a sentence anyway. She once you
re educated. If you're someone that's voted

416
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:39.920
for Trump a long time, she
says, you're impervious to the data.

417
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:45.760
You're impervious, you're hard headed,
you are unfit. Really, probably you

418
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:49.800
should be exiled somewhere. She didn't
say this, I'm just filling in the

419
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.199
blanks for you. You should probably
be exiled, put in an atturnment camp,

420
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:59.199
but just basically not allowed to procreate. Just you know, just live

421
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:01.840
your days and get that. You
know, we don't want that DNA passed

422
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:06.679
on to the next generation. If
you haven't yet voted for Trump, but

423
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.960
yet you're flirting with the idea of
it, She's got the answer for that,

424
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.400
of course as well, and that
is for these leftists to get around

425
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:19.000
you scream in your ear, cry
and scream at the universe and tell you

426
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.039
how bad Trump is and re educate
you. My friends, what a bunch

427
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:34.559
of nonsense. Quick time out back
here in just a minute. Welcome back

428
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.679
to my friends. If you want
us listen to or I guess reference anything

429
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.159
that you heard us talk about on
today's program, you can always go two

430
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:45.440
hour show notes, page tot to
show. That's show notes. I think

431
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:46.800
I used to call them that a
long time ago. It's the stack of

432
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:50.880
stuff. It's the hat tip to
the late great Rustling Ball. You can

433
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.719
go to the stack of stuff for
today this is Friday, January twenty sixth.

434
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.760
Then you can check out anything that
we've referenced read more. You can

435
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:04.000
see things that I had in the
stack that we couldn't get to as well,

436
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.760
my friends. The other thing I'll
tell you is if you can only

437
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.800
listen to this program on the weekends, it's some stations we're only on we're

438
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.400
only on certain days, maybe once
a week. Some we're on daily.

439
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:21.000
But you can always go to totepshow
dot com and sob sure listen to the

440
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:24.280
website or to the podcast there,
or download the podcast for free. Anyway,

441
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:29.440
my friends, have a great weekend. We'll see Monday. SDG
