Just make sure, my friends, that you make it count. 10 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.560 Make it This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

This was on Monday. He makes a statement that 14 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.879 I want to talk about. It's things that we've talked about before on this 15 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:41.200 program as well. I think it's important in understanding Trump his approach to politics. 16 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.400 His quote unquote ideology, if you will, And these things are relevant 17 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.640 especially as we head into this campaign and really just the if someone truly just 18 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.799 wants to understand Trump, which I'm amazed that people just well I'm not amazed. 19 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:01.280 I know what we're up against here. People don't want to really understand 20 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.359 Trump if they are against him. Instead, they just want to oppose him, 21 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.199 demonize him, and all that sort of stuff. So we'll get to 22 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.439 that here as we kick off the program, and also talk about we've now 23 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.159 got Trump v. Biden too, right, this is Trump v. Biden 24 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:24.039 two after the primaries of yesterday, the once all the final delegates are counted, 25 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.599 both candidates should have enough to officially be their party's respective nominee. So 26 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.159 we'll get to that and a lot of other stuff in today's news as well. 27 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.639 But my friends, I know that you like to be prepared. As 28 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:45.479 a conservative, you like to take responsibility for those things that you're responsible for. 29 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:52.000 That's called being an adult. That's called adulting, as the younger generation 30 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.000 might say. So if you want to be prepared in the event of a 31 00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.360 natural disaster, a power outage, some sort of a food shortage, some 32 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.639 sort of a supply and demand problem that could certainly hit any particular industry, 33 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.520 which we see. We saw some of this happen, especially back in the 34 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.400 COVID era. But if you want to be prepared, then I would encourage 35 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.759 you to check out four patriots dot com.

Now this is actually I think 46 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:24.560 a clip. Well, squat Box was playing a clip of another individual speaking 47 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.439 about Trump on CNBC and so Squawkbox asks Trump about this, and Trump goes 48 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.079 on to make a statement. Trump makes a statement that I've said this on 49 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:42.959 this program before, and I've talked about the differences between someone who is an 50 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.800 ideological conservative and someone who is not. And Trump, in this answer, 51 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:56.600 in his response to this question, in response to this clip that Squawkbox played 52 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.680 for him, says, I'm not a conservative. I'm a man of common 53 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.040 sense. And you'll here in this statement in Trump's quote that he also says 54 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:13.240 that some are a lot or I forget how much he quantifies as as being 55 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:19.079 of conservative policies qualify as just being common sense. But I've said on this 56 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:26.680 program before that Trump is not an ideological conservative. He often finds himself aligning 57 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.720 with conservative principles and values. And I would even say, I would even 58 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.600 say more so over the course of his political evolution, if you will. 59 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:43.800 I don't think Trump ever, Trump's a practical businessman. Trump, if he 60 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.639 wants a property in a certain city or whatever, he says, how does 61 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.959 that get done? Just tell me the facts, tell me how it gets 62 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:57.319 done, and I'll do whatever I can to accommodate that. And so that's 63 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.519 why Trump used to donate to people like Bill and Hillary Clinton or whoever else, 64 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.959 whoever else ran for office, both sides of the Trump did not think 65 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.199 about the world in an ideological or through an ideological lens. I would maintain 66 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.240 that he still doesn't. He sees it through a practical a practical prism. 67 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:23.920 You know, if we've got someone who's over there rattling the saber, we're 68 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.120 gonna say, knock it off. We're gonna tell NATO. This is Trump's 69 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.240 approach. You know, carry your your share of your obligation to fund the 70 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:39.120 defense of Europe, say from for example, Putin and Russia, and we're 71 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.240 gonna deal with this as we would deal with this in the on the playground 72 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.160 as second and third graders. We'd walk up to the bully and say, 73 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.079 knock it off, or you're gonna have problems on your hands. And that's 74 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:57.519 Trump's approach. And interestingly, he's right in saying that a lot of conservative 75 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.560 policies are I mean, you would say, are naturally just an extension of 76 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.360 common sense. Now, but you have to do thinking. You know, 77 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:09.079 I've said on this program for a long time, even long before I had 78 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:15.000 this program, I've said that one of the struggles that conservatives have in a 79 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.240 world, by the way, in a world that wants sound bites and snippets 80 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:25.360 and clips, and they want ten seconds of entertainment, and then move on, 81 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.120 scroll on to the next thing that, by the way, reminds me 82 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.759 of TikTok. There is pressure, of course in Congress, in our government 83 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:41.319 to ban or to at least force the cell of TikTok from the Chinese Communist 84 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:46.160 Party, because people think that this is a dangerous, addictive platform that's being 85 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:54.680 manipulated by well by the Communist Party to infiltrate and to influence young people into 86 00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:00.639 becoming anti American communist whatever. I'm gonna set that aside for a moment. 87 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.199 I'm just going to tell you that there's an op ed. I went ahead 88 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.360 and put a link to Today's Mike Mike Pins wrote an op ed about this. 89 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.920 I put that on today's show notes. I probably won't have time to 90 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:18.120 discuss that, but talking about ten seconds of attention or ten seconds of entertainment, 91 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.560 and then he scrolled to the next thing. That's the world that we 92 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.680 live in. I just thought that came to mind as I was speaking here, 93 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.600 So you can see that if you want to read it. You can 94 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.240 visit the website todt haveshow dot com and just go to the stack of stuff. 95 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.879 So, but back to this conversation about Trump not being a conservative, 96 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.440 and to the larger question or the larger picture that Americans that we as conservatives 97 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.600 have, and I guess persuading Americans to understand conservative, well, forget about 98 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.240 conservative. But it is truth. Conservatism as I see it, as I 99 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:56.360 as I see it is a step towards living in agreement, in alignment with 100 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.759 truth, because the truth is, my friends, The truth is that we 101 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.320 are created in the image of God, with certain unalienable rights, and that 102 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.120 we are ultimately held to account by Him, not some government. We are 103 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.600 created to live in freedom, not under the dictates and mandates of some government. 104 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.759 Whatever form the government takes, whether it's a monarchy, whether it's something 105 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:31.720 that's more aggressive and authoritarian and oligarchy, it doesn't matter. We are We 106 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.600 are all equal in the eyes of God. Some people might be better at 107 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.360 well certain Certainly, some people are better at certain things. Some people are 108 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.039 better at being parents. Some people are better at making money. Some people 109 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.679 are better at filling the blank, putting balls through baskets, scoring touchdowns, 110 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.200 performing on the stage, whatever. But we all have our gifts. We 111 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:03.759 all have our gifts plural, and we all have the ability to to pursue 112 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.919 those dreams or to put those gifts to use as we see fits. And 113 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.960 we are in constant battle as free people against those that want to lord over 114 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.480 us, those that want to control, those that want to be elected or 115 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.320 be put into positions of power. However they get there to say no, 116 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.799 you can't do that, to have the position of honor, the position of 117 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.919 just you know, people that have people applaud them for their accomplishments, they 118 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.559 want to shake hands and kiss babies and all that sort of stuff. And 119 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.759 so we're at war, a constant struggle between the nature of government to grow 120 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.279 and the nature the desire, the yearning of mankind, of humanity to live 121 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.879 freely. That's how we were created by God himself to live. And so 122 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.600 conservatism is a step in to that reality. And there's a lot of facets 123 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.320 to that, and I think we can't get into all of them, but 124 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.759 suffice it to say, suffice it to say that common sense and conservatism go 125 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:16.519 hand in hand. The problem. The problem lies oftentimes with the reality that 126 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.799 conservative principles require an explanation. Conservative principles, while they are common sense, 127 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.879 we have to use our sense. We can't just It's not just something that 128 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.200 we wake up and say, Wow, I feel like I want to do 129 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.159 X. That's what liberalism is. Liberalism is just a mix of feelings where 130 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.720 people say, Oh, I don't like that, make a law against it, 131 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.480 or wow, I really like that, make a law so that we 132 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.759 have to do that. I've overly simplified, but you get the idea. 133 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.120 Conservatism is a thinking man's or a thinking woman's pursuit, and so it is 134 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.600 an extension of It is common sense. It is following common sense, but 135 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.600 it requires people to think, and we are and a distinct disadvantage in a 136 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:09.399 sound bite culture because it always requires an explanation when you're talking about conservatism. 137 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:16.360 It require it requires maybe a story, It requires an understanding of maybe human 138 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.720 nature, the nature of government, or what have you, in order to 139 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.840 get to some of these conclusions. But it is there for those that want 140 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.759 to seek common sense. But Trump doesn't think about it to that degree. 141 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:35.519 I am confident, and I think history bears out that most times, most 142 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.159 times, given the opportunity, given the time, Trump absolutely comes down on 143 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.000 the side of conservatism. Not always, but for the vast majority of the 144 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.600 time. In fact, I remember back in twenty sixteen, one of the 145 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.440 biggest fears of conservatives regarding Trump was not me, but of others, was 146 00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:00.360 what if He's just like Hillary? Which was bizarre to me because his opponent 147 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.240 was Hillary. So in the worst case scenario, he was going to be 148 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.000 Hillary. Now, I thought there was no evidence for that. I wasn't 149 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.600 concerned about that, but some people were. And I thought, in your 150 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.799 worst case scenario were everything that you thought about Trump and the negative had to 151 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.639 come true, and everything that you might have thought about him and the positive 152 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.879 had to not be the case. Then and only then would he become as 153 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.960 bad as Hillary. So why would you Why would you vote for Hillary over 154 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:35.200 him? When Hillary was the worst case scenario for Trump? And so Trump 155 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:41.279 has consistently consistently come down on the side of conservatism, the side of limited 156 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.840 government. Folks. He cut remember he cut bureaucracy. For every what was 157 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.240 it, For every one new federal government rule, you had to cut three. 158 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.639 Remember they cut the side. They had stacks of papers showing us how 159 00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:01.480 much or how many regulations and so forth, bureaucrat rules had been cut, 160 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.600 he cut taxes. These are things that are not done by the way by 161 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.440 authoritarians and lovers of big government. But it is common sense if you think 162 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.720 about it, and if you pursue it in an unbiased way. Now that 163 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:20.200 being said, that being said, it is important that we understand our conservatism 164 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:26.360 and we are able to communicate it as efficiently, as effectively, as succinctly 165 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.840 as possible. So I want to play this SoundBite, but before I do 166 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.080 that, and let me remind you about our friends at my Pillow, my 167 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.919 pillow dot com, slash Todd, my pillow dot com, slash Tom Todd, 168 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.440 not Tom, don't go to Tom.

In fact, I grabbed our 173 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.200 daughters the other night, our youngest daughter, Audrey, and she basically told 174 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.120 me, hey, man, don't be using She told me, I love 175 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.879 my my pillow.

It was just right here and it was a comfortable move on my 178 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:26.039 part. But she basically put the kaibosh on that. But anyhow, you 179 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.879 can go.

It's 187 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.440 actually made it a little bit easier to have that my pillow dog bed in 188 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:10.159 there.

So let's listen here to this clip. 193 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.240 This is Trump being interviewed on squawk Box. But at the beginning of 194 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.279 the clip, you're gonna hear another sound bite that the host of Squawkbox is 195 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.600 asking Trump about. But I want you to hear this conversation, and I 196 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.799 want you to hear it and think about what we've just been talking about the 197 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:52.240 difference between between ideological conservatism but also just arriving at conservative principles using good old 198 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.480 fashioned common sense. Here is the club. Trump wins that it's going to 199 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:03.320 be four years of getting even, and that's scary because we've got serious issues 200 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.920 coming up that need to be addressed. What do you think of that, 201 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.160 mister President, because I think that there is a feeling that there is still 202 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.119 an anger and a frustration that you have about certain issues. Well, look, 203 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:19.880 I've never been a fan of Ken I don't know if he supported me. 204 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.200 Maybe he supported me because I was the only one that he could support, 205 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.440 because that's the reason. But I've never been a fan. I've been 206 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.839 a fan of Bernie Marcus, a big fan of Bernie. Marcus is a 207 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.640 big fan of mine, and that was the side I chose, And frankly, 208 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.720 you know, he's right in one sense. People think that there's going 209 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.119 to be revenge, and I say, no, the revenge is going to 210 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.880 be success. They're not going to be revenge in a revenge stance. It's 211 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.400 really going to be success. We're going to turn our country around. We're 212 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.799 going to bring sense and common sense. You know, people say you're conservative. 213 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.000 I'm not conservative. You know what I am. I'm a man of 214 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:03.119 common sense and a lot of conservative policies are common sense. Okay, so 215 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.279 you get the idea. I'm not a conservative, he says, I just 216 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:12.079 have common sense. But a lot of conservative policies have common sense, are 217 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.000 based upon common sense. So that was a sound bite, by the way, 218 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.119 that was on Fox. I didn't as I was getting this ready, 219 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.279 I heard the music cue once the talking spoke as I was getting ready for 220 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.920 today's program. I didn't know there was a soft music bed during the entire 221 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.839 entire clips. So hopefully the music was very soothing to you as you listen 222 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.599 to that today. But this is important to understand, right, and I 223 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.920 want to say a couple of things. Number One, you know that one 224 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.559 of my passions is to well, in fact, if you look at the 225 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.680 mission of this program, the mission of this program is to help people hear 226 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.920 and receive truth. Now, I want to be clear, we don't have 227 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.359 it all figured out. Now. I understand if you think that we do. 228 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.839 It's a very common mistake for people to make. We got it all 229 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.720 figured out over there the Todd huff Show. I get it. But the 230 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.839 truth is we don't know everything. But the things that are true, the 231 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:15.400 things that are bedrock foundational principles that we should be building not just our society 232 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.319 on, but also our lives on as individuals, those things we better we 233 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.640 better make sure that we understand them. We better make sure that we clearly 234 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:33.160 identify them and we start building upon them. That is an important thing to 235 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:38.599 do. And having a discussion or thinking through these issues is an important I 236 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:45.960 would say, well first step. But it's not just you and I understanding 237 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.599 them. It's our ability to convince other people that they are true, that 238 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:56.559 they are worth building a culture, a society upon, our individual lives upon. 239 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:03.599 And this is this requires a different of skills. Because people are skeptical 240 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.440 people are resistant sometimes especially remember they've been living under under the heavy hand, 241 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.799 under the thumb of the seven pillars of propaganda. Those seven pillars are propaganda. 242 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:21.200 Wake up every day. Actually they don't sleep, but in the to 243 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.680 the extent that they quote unquote wake up. They wake up every day with 244 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:33.920 the intent to manipulate people to come to decisions that government needs to grow, 245 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.480 that freedom needs to shrink, and that the people that are running these seven 246 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.960 pillars are propaganda. Even though they don't want people to think about this specifically, 247 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:48.079 but they want them to basically trust them more and boost them up to 248 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.319 more and more positions of more and more prominence and power. That's what their 249 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.440 daily objective is. It's NonStop, and people are subjected to that all the 250 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:02.160 time. It's in education, it's in the media, it's in government. 251 00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.359 They're fed this stuff. So a lot of people have no idea this is 252 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.200 going on, and yet this is where they this is what we're fighting against. 253 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.440 And so there's some things that Trump is actually saying here that are kind 254 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.279 of important. I think it's actually kind of brilliant, at least as I 255 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.680 think about persuading or talking about conservative principles with other folks, and we're going 256 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.640 to talk about that in the next segment. So but let me tell you 257 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.759 here before we take a break and head into that next segment.

So need to wrap up here this first segment and set 271 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.640 the stage again for the next segment, which is a continuation of what we 272 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.160 just listened to with Trump there, and I want to talk about some of 273 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.799 the things that he has done there, maybe knowing lyric, maybe not. 274 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.119 I don't know. It's probably again natural to him, but when it comes 275 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.759 to persuading people to conservative principles, actually done a few things very well there. 276 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.920 So sitsight, my friends. We'll do that on the other side of 277 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:12.720 the break back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. 278 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:17.599 Before the break we were while we played that SoundBite from Trump where he said, 279 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:23.279 Hey, I'm not a conservative. I'm not a conservative, but conservative 280 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:27.599 principles are often common sense. Now some folks who are conservative, I, 281 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:33.440 of course am conservative and very very not bitter. You may be the same 282 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.920 way, and you might be concerned about this. Wait a minute, what 283 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.759 Trump? What's Trump up to here? Well, the truth is that Trump 284 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:49.200 is I think, just being candid about his worldview and ideology. I think 285 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.920 that this is a very fair assessment. I've said for a long time. 286 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.160 I think we all know that Trump is not an ideological conservative, but he 287 00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:04.119 ends up on the conservative side of issues most time simply because well that's where 288 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.680 common sense takes you. But he's done some things here that I think are 289 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:15.559 important that we can learn from. First and foremost, he's he made a 290 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.599 point. Now, we're in a very divided time frame, right, We're 291 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.440 in a very divided country. Everything is political. What you eat, what 292 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.559 you drink, what you drive, what you where you work, where you 293 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:34.519 live, all of this stuff very very political time and it's so bad in 294 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.960 some places. Now it's not that way here. It's probably not that way. 295 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.359 Well, when I say here, I mean on this show, I 296 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:47.640 actually want I actually want people who don't agree with me to listen to this 297 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.599 program. And if you've tuned in to this program and you're listening to it, 298 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.319 you got to give it a little time. Got to give it a 299 00:24:55.359 --> 00:25:00.160 little time to just get used to what's happening here. Familiarize yourself with what 300 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:07.359 we're talking about. Couple of weeks and you'll have a pretty good idea of 301 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.680 the format and just I don't know some of them, maybe even some of 302 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:18.000 the inside jokes or whatever. You just get familiarized and comfortable in a good 303 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.640 way. But I want you tuning in here. I think that that's a 304 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:26.400 good thing. I think that you'll learn things even if you don't agree, 305 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.519 which I don't know why you wouldn't agree, but I think that that's a 306 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:38.440 very very common result, a very very common well outcome, I guess. 307 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:45.720 So I like that. But in talking, especially in a one on one 308 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:52.200 setting or even in a if we're trying to take the time to convince people 309 00:25:52.240 --> 00:26:00.599 of certain ideas and get them to understand and accept these truth is that we 310 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.880 have had revealed to us, have taught to us, that we have come 311 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.759 to know and accept, then there's some basic things that we can do, 312 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:17.519 and one of them is one of them is to stay away from the labels, 313 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:27.000 because these labels carry such a powerful emotional that they can be very powerful 314 00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.799 emotionally for folks, and they often mean different things to different people. In 315 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.880 fact, if you were to ask, if you were to ask the average 316 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.920 person to define conservative, liberal, whatever, I think, you would get 317 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.279 a whole lot of different explanations, and some of them would be wrong. 318 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.039 In fact, what's really interesting to me is that as a conservative, I 319 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.759 would tell you that I'm a classical liberal, which might blow some of your 320 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.559 minds. But a classical liberal used to be well. They used to. 321 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.160 The term liberal used to mean someone who believed in largely conservative principles and concepts. 322 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:11.559 Today, individual liberty, due process, things like that, which I 323 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:18.880 am very much. That's I would say that classical liberalism has become modern conservatism 324 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:23.319 or libertarianism to a large extent as well. I think there's some couple of 325 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:33.279 things that I would maybe differ on from an issue perspective with that with straight 326 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.599 libertarianism or what has become in practice in a lot of places. But largely 327 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:48.240 these are concepts, These are ideologies that say individuals and individual liberty is paramount. 328 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.079 That's what we need to be fighting for. That's largely what I mean 329 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.519 when I use those terms. But people don't always see it that way. 330 00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:02.279 Some people might think libertarianism might mean I don't know, open borders or pot 331 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:07.640 smoking, just as an example. Some people might think conservatism means wanting people 332 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.319 to control what goes on or wanting the government to control what goes on in 333 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:17.279 your bedroom, and that of course is not true, but that's perspectives. 334 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:22.920 That's what people often times think. And again they could be victimized by the 335 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.759 seven pillars of propaganda. They could just have a basic misunderstanding. Maybe they've 336 00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:36.759 met people who identify themselves as libertarian or a conservative or whatever who have embodied 337 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:41.759 these sorts of beliefs, and they get these things get conflated. I don't 338 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.839 know. There's any number of ways. But if you're really trying to persuade 339 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.720 somebody, which Trump is in that mindset now right, if you think about 340 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.359 it from Trump's perspective, the perspective is, hey, I've wrapped up the 341 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.960 Republican nomination. I've got, of course, some criminal trials and so forth 342 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:03.319 that I'm dealing with, but this is it's Trump v. Biden too, 343 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:10.559 and it's time for me to start campaigning to get people who are maybe undecided 344 00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.359 as to who they're going to vote for now. A real conservative, a 345 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.799 real Republican knows Donald Trump is who they're going to vote for. If it's 346 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.200 Trump v. Biden too, Maybe you preferred Nicki Haley, maybe you preferred 347 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:29.559 Ron DeSantis, maybe you preferred the vek Ramaswami some other candidates during the primary 348 00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:34.039 process. But if your choices are Trump and Biden and you're truly conservative, 349 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.519 and you're truly even Republican, I don't again, I got a lot of 350 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:45.359 problems with Republicans, the Republican Party, but it is the home like it 351 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:52.920 or not, it is the home of the largest, well the largest part 352 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.279 of the conservative movement that has political what I want to say, political influence, 353 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:03.880 political power. That's the This is the party that the republic that the 354 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.839 Conservatives excuse me, are going to have to work with or work through in 355 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:14.000 order to politically advance their positions in this country when elections and so forth. 356 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:22.279 So so, the Trump has secured that nomination, secured enough delegates, there's 357 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.880 no one that's running against him, and so now it becomes an issue of 358 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:33.240 winning those people who aren't certain. And so if you aren't certain at this 359 00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.839 point in a Trump v. Biden to campaign, I have no idea how 360 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:45.759 you get there really other than to say other than to say that, well, 361 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:55.440 you're not principally principally conservative, you're not. You know, this goes 362 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.119 back to twenty before twenty twenty, right, the twenty twenty campaign. So 363 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.319 for a year before that it was Trump v. Biden. So we're looking 364 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:08.440 at a campaign that's largely run for five years now, and if you don't 365 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:14.160 know who you're going to vote for, it's going to take some additional there's 366 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.960 got to be something new interjected to the campaign, or Trump's going to have 367 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:25.519 to make his points in a different way to attract some of these voters. 368 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.640 And by saying I don't consider myself a conservative to a conservative, that might 369 00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:33.920 make you want a gasp because you think, wait a minute, did we 370 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:40.720 just get baited and switched here? I think it's actually probably I wouldn't go 371 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.039 that far to say I'm not a conservative, But I can also understand what 372 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:47.839 he's trying to do, which is appeal to people who maybe have just a 373 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.400 block to that word, a block to that term. And I also believe 374 00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.559 that Trump doesn't consider himself that, even though he typically ends up at the 375 00:31:55.559 --> 00:32:00.480 same conclusion that conservatives do. So that's an important point to keep in mind. 376 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.839 And I think it's important to think about when we're dealing with people individually 377 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.319 and persuading them, if we stay away from some of those labels, stay 378 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:13.559 away from some of the you know, the politics of personalities, don't get 379 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.599 into if you're trying to persuade someone to be conservative. It's a good idea 380 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.640 to not get into a heated argument over something that Trump said or did or 381 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:28.160 whatever, because these are the sorts of things, the labels, the personal 382 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:35.079 identities, these are the things that people It's easier for someone to accept the 383 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:40.079 ideology and then over time realize they're in the same place as people like Trump. 384 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.240 Then to try to get them to conservatism through Trump if they hate Trump, 385 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:50.039 or candidly through yours truly, if they hate me, I'm a little 386 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.839 little guy here. But if they hate me, don't use me or something 387 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.000 I said, to try to convince them find something that they don't bristle up 388 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.480 at is the point. So I think that that's some important things. I 389 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.519 think that's what's going on here. But I also think that it's true that 390 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:10.640 Trump is not a principled conservative. So gonna take a break care squaring up 391 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.319 for the last segment of the hour here. But did you know, my 392 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.440 friends, that gold has outperformed the S and P. Five hundred and the 393 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.880 doall since nineteen seventy one when the US took the dollar off the gold standard. 394 00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.240 You have to ask yourself, is that a coincidence? When the government 395 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.359 allowed people, yes, that's right, allowed the people to own gold again. 396 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.240 They reclassified gold as a commodity rather than a paper currency backstop. Even 397 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:44.160 though the US itself hoards and holds the highest amounts of physical gold in its 398 00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.799 reserve, all countries, all central banks, major institutions, and even the 399 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:54.359 IMF itself own substantial gold holdings. If all these entities that control our fiat 400 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:59.799 paper money system have physical gold, shouldn't you consider it as well?

So gonna take a quick break here when we get back, 405 00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:20.599 I want to get into one more thing before we wrap up for the hour. 406 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.280 My friends, sit tight, you're listening to conservative not better talk. 407 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:43.199 I'm your host Hot Huff back here in just a minute. Welcome back, 408 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:49.039 my friends. So, I don't know if you saw Biden's proposed budget, 409 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.960 which I guess. First off, kudos to them for actually putting together a 410 00:34:53.000 --> 00:35:00.679 budget. We normally just manage spending government spending at the phoederal level crisis to 411 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:05.480 crisis, don't really put much thought into a national I remember the days when 412 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.480 we would debate the national budget. Now it's basically, oh my goodness, 413 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:14.159 we got four days to come up with some spending plan, or Congress is 414 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:16.280 going to shut down. The government's going to shut down. People aren't gonna 415 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:21.559 get their services, They're not going to get their Social Security checks, the 416 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.920 military isn't going to get paid. Whatever it is, right, that is 417 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.920 what has become the norm. So I guess kudos for those of you that 418 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.639 say I don't ever say kudos to the Biden administration, which I really never 419 00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.840 do. It's pretty pathetic, if I'm being quite candid with you. But 420 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.760 I guess kudos to them for taking the time to put together a budget. 421 00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.480 But did you know that Biden's twenty twenty five budget would drive listen to this, 422 00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:53.239 would drive the national debt to forty five trillion dollars in ten years. 423 00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.719 Forty five trillion, folks. We are getting to the point, we are 424 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.599 getting to the point we're have to learn a new word in our vocal. 425 00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:06.440 It's not a new word, but a new word in our common, everyday 426 00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:10.360 vernacular. We're getting close to having to refer to the amount of debt in 427 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:17.639 this country as a quarter of a quadrillion dollars. We're getting close to that 428 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:22.599 point. But the forty five trillion, I'm looking here, by the way, 429 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.400 this is in the stack of stuff. This is in just thenews dot 430 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:29.880 com. Watch this is the headline watch Dog. Biden's twenty twenty five budget 431 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:36.760 would drive national debt to forty five trillion dollars in ten years, one hundred 432 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:43.039 and six percent of the GDP. So the debt, think about this would 433 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:51.440 be more. We would owe more debt than what the entire US economy produces 434 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:59.280 in one year. Let me say that again, the debt. If Congress 435 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:05.719 just rot rubber stamped Biden's budget, his twenty twenty five budget, it would 436 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:14.119 drive national debt to forty five trillion dollars in ten years, and that would 437 00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:20.320 be one hundred and six percent of the gross domestic product. I mean, 438 00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:27.480 it's crazy to think that one hundred and six percent of the gross domestic product. 439 00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:32.840 Now, for those who don't believe that we have a spending problem, 440 00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:38.039 I mean this this should Again, there's lots of other things that should have 441 00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:44.320 done it prior to this, but this should make it abundantly clear that the 442 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:50.920 problem we face the problems that we face in this country. They when it 443 00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.519 comes to spend, well, when it comes to balancing the budget deficit and 444 00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:59.960 all this sort of stuff, federal debt, it is one hundred percent. 445 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.159 This is a we have a spending problem, my friends. We don't have 446 00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:08.360 a revenue problem. This is after Biden's already trying to stick it to businesses 447 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:15.320 and then target the wealthy with tax law, which is reprehensible in and of 448 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.440 itself. If you start how many billionaires are there in America? As can 449 00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.559 you look that up real fast? There's not too many. If you find 450 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:28.599 yourself up there on the campaign stage or campaign trail saying I want to make 451 00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.440 it so that billionaires, well you got to love what they say pay their 452 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:35.960 fair share, which what the world is that supposed to mean. These jokers 453 00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.159 and clowns are the ones, the ones in DC. They've written the tax 454 00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:42.360 code. If they don't like the tax code, they shouldn't have written it 455 00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.199 as it was. Biden has been in office. There's more than I thought. 456 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.880 I thought there were four hundred. There's seven hundred and fifty six. 457 00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:53.000 That's the US billionaire's eyes, seven hundred and fifty six billionaires in America. 458 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:58.320 So you could almost if they wanted to, they could do this. Biden 459 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:04.880 could say, I want to change increased taxes on Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk 460 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.760 or whoever he could listen names. Just we're down to seven hundred and fifty 461 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:14.280 six. That's reprehensible to me. The founders would be absolutely mortified if they 462 00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.800 knew this sort of stuff, this sort of stuff was going on. But 463 00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.079 this is now applauded. This is applauded. Yeah, make them pay their 464 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.920 fair share. Well, okay, then don't write tax law that lets them 465 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.960 do things that protects their money and their wealth from I'm not out there trying 466 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:37.239 to argue for higher taxes for people. But Biden's been there for half a 467 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.000 century. He's acting as though he has literally nothing to do with this. 468 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.920 He's been there for half a century. Of course he does. If any 469 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:51.920 one person has the most to do with this in American politics today, Biden's 470 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:57.400 got to be in the top couple because he's simply been there for his entire 471 00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.960 life. We have a spending problem in government, and that, of course, 472 00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:06.480 is an unpopular thing for a politician to deal with because that means you 473 00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:10.440 gotta cut and that means you're gonna have to cut some sort of spending that 474 00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:20.760 someone in your con constituency actually actually has coming in every month or every year 475 00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.679 or whatever. And so that's the problem that we face with these jokers and 476 00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:29.960 clowns in Congress. This is really what we're up against as far as that 477 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.599 goes. But we have a spending problem forty five trillion in debt if we 478 00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.280 adopt his budget. Of course, hopefully the House, well who knows in 479 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.519 this world, but they won't pass it in the House. But nonetheless, 480 00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:43.960 that's the trajectory of the left is trying to put us on. I gotta 481 00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:45.239 go though, my friends, have a great day. SDG.
