00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.599
Attention. You're listening to the top
Huff radio show, America's home for conservative

2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.839
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been

3
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.560
documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean

4
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:33.359
to the right. Here's your conservative
but not bitter host, Tod Huff.

5
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.079
All right, my friends, you
have tuned in to America's home to the

6
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.719
world's home for conservative not bitter talk. I am, of course the one,

7
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:51.479
the only Tot Huff here behind the
microphone. It is a pleasure to

8
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:58.960
be here today. Email. Should
you want to discuss any of the things

9
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.480
we discussed about, ilcome your feedback
Todd at todefshow dot com. You can

10
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:11.519
also text us three one seven two
one zero twenty eight thirty. I know

11
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.719
I've got some messages to get back
to. In fact, maybe something I'll

12
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.799
get to today. It's something that's
you know, I respond sometimes directly when

13
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.560
people ask questions or have comments,
and just make it count. That's my

14
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.920
one request, and most of you
do make it count. May take advantage

15
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.079
of this opportunity to make the most
of it, and most of you do.

16
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.719
Sometimes I get some messages that I
think that really mess missed the mark

17
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.640
there, But anyway, sometimes I
respond directly. Sometimes we end up talking

18
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.680
about it on the show. So
you actually help create content and things that

19
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.120
we discuss here on this program.
In fact, I've got something in the

20
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.439
stack of stuff that I want to
get to that kind of qualifies for that

21
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.280
type of thing anyhow, So I
encourage you to do that, and it's

22
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:01.560
good to be here today. A
couple of things I want to get to

23
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.920
first, you know, I think
first what I want to talk about.

24
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.879
I make a lot of these decisions
are game time decisions here, but I

25
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:16.960
really want to start with what I
heard Adam Kinsinger say on CNN. Now

26
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:27.400
I want to be clear here,
Adam Kinsinger is a such. There are

27
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:35.840
fringe elements of both parties. There's
the radical left in the Democrat Party.

28
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.840
They've hijacked that party. They've taken
control of that party in many ways,

29
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.000
not completely. In fact, if
you want to see an area that they

30
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.000
haven't completely, well, an example
of how they haven't taken over yet is

31
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.039
look at the response to Hamas and
to the conflict in Israel. Now,

32
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.319
I will tell you that there's a
course that doesn't mean that everything that's happening

33
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:02.520
in Congress is still good. I
mean, we need to be smart here.

34
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:09.639
We don't want to sign up for
a new war, right Biden supposedly,

35
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.800
he just wanted credit here for what
two about two and a half years

36
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.520
ago, a little over two years
ago, he wanted credit for getting us

37
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.400
out of Afghanistan. Remember, leaving
in a complete tizzy, leaving weapons,

38
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.240
seven billion dollars worth of weapons in
Afghanistan, people clinging to aircraft trying to

39
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.680
escape Afghanistan. We left fifteen thousand, I think was the initial report.

40
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:40.199
Initially we left fifteen thousand Americans in
Afghanistan. We abandoned some of those folks

41
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.560
that helped us throughout the course of
the war. And of course now we

42
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:51.360
find those weapons being used by Hamas
and other places around the world. So

43
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.960
we ended that war, forced the
end to at least a presence. I'm

44
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.080
not saying an active war so much
as a presence there. We forced it

45
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.759
prematurely so that Biden could get his
headlines. And now we're on the cusp

46
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.800
of another one. We're on the
cusp of another one, and of course

47
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.159
there's tons of lessons to be had
here as far as that goes in fact.

48
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.040
We'll get into that as the program
comes together today. But I want

49
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:23.519
to stick with the differences between the
parties and how Kinsinger his place, I

50
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:30.000
guess in the Republican Party. So
there's of course disagreements between there's factions between

51
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.120
inside of both parties. Kensinger.
So on the Democrat Party you've got the

52
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:41.439
well in DC you don't really have
moderates, but in rank and file America

53
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.399
you do. So there's moderates all
the way up to liberals, all the

54
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.319
way up to the extreme godless radical
left. That is one party. And

55
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.519
so there's fringes, right, there's
fringes, and there's people who really kind

56
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.000
of agree in the middle. It's
kind of like a bell curve, but

57
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.920
there's a fringe on on kind of
both sides of the party. The same

58
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:08.160
thing is true in the Republican Party. We have conservatives, we have rhinos,

59
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.279
and we have liberal Republicans who I
don't know why they're Republicans other than

60
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.600
they just want to create havoc within
the Republican Party. There are people that

61
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.439
in the Republican Party, like Liz
Cheney, like Adam Kinsinger, the only

62
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:31.639
two who were involved in the January
sixth show performance that committee and so forth,

63
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.160
And so there's the French and Kinsinger
in no way, shape, manner,

64
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:43.160
or form, represents the bulk of
the Republican Party. He's not.

65
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:51.759
He's represents a very very small,
tiny portion of the Republican Party. And

66
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.000
so he has come out and this
is not going to surprise you. It

67
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.759
shouldn't surprise you anyway. And I'm
not telling you to surprise you. I

68
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.399
want you to hear. I just
want you to hear what he says.

69
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:12.279
I want you to understand his Well, I say perspective, but I don't

70
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.519
know that it's really perspective. I
think it's more a lot of this stuff

71
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.839
is virtue signaling. It's signaling to
the people in the community that you want

72
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.480
to connect with. That says,
hey, I'm really not one of those

73
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:31.319
guys, right, That really isn't
me. Those people don't align with me.

74
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.920
I'm trying to save the party.
Those folks are a danger to the

75
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:43.040
party. Now, I've made it
clear that the people in the Republican Party

76
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.480
do not always represent fact. They
often don't represent what I think. What

77
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.480
I think of asked majority of the
people think. A lot of times they

78
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:59.279
play a lip service a lot of
times they play games with the political games.

79
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.839
A lot of time times they do
it for again virtue signaling purposes,

80
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.439
to get applause, to get some
fundraising dollars in that sort of thing.

81
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.519
But one pushed comes the shove.
A lot of these guys are just whimps

82
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:20.240
at the core, pure whimps.
So they don't always represent me, and

83
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:25.439
I'm guessing a vast majority of you
as well, are a large percentage of

84
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.680
you anyway. But that doesn't mean
that I, look, we have to

85
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.120
find a way to still work with
folks. I mean, we cannot go

86
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:39.120
scorched earth. I can stand on
principle, understand the reality of the situation,

87
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:45.839
understand where just where we are politically
except that you know, and and

88
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.800
work around those areas where we have
agreement to try to pull this country back

89
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.600
in the right direction. And it's
going to be a process. I think

90
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.480
we have to view it as such. Doesn't mean that the people who are

91
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.360
moderate right I knows, or even
liberal Republicans, we should not try to

92
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.879
find ways to find more conservative candidates
the next time they're up for reelection and

93
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.040
so forth. But nonetheless, I
don't view myself at war with the Republican

94
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.360
Party. I think the war,
the cultural war, the political war,

95
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.600
if you will, it's a cultural
war. It's a worldview war that's being

96
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.759
fought in the world of politics.
But I think that war is between different

97
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.759
different groups of people who still revere
and love this country versus the radical left.

98
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.559
And there's a wide range of people
that are in this group. I

99
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:46.399
think we agree in principle on a
lot of things. I've said this extensively.

100
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.480
That's why I say eighty percent of
Americans agree with eighty percent of the

101
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.279
things I say on this program.
I do believe that I do believe that

102
00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:01.960
they've sometimes been tricked into believing that
they don't. They've been coerced into believing

103
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.120
some narrative that isn't true. They've
been coaxed into believing a lie. But

104
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.480
if you talk or they've been polarized, right, they hate Trump or they

105
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.480
hate some other politician, they hate
anybody who claims to be a fill in

106
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.799
the blank libertarian, conservative, Republican, whatever, and they can't see past

107
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.360
that sometimes, and we got to
deal with that. That's something altogether different.

108
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.039
But as Kensinger is here, Kensinger
wants us to think he's trying to

109
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.360
save the Republican Party, but he's
gonna do so by voting for Joseph Robin

110
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:39.039
at Biden. Apparently if Trump is
the Republican nominee, which the only reason

111
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:46.120
to think Trump wouldn't be would be
if something like one of these indictments somehow,

112
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.120
and I don't even know how it
could at this point, one of

113
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:54.559
these indictments somehow prevented him from getting
on a ballot. We know what's happening

114
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.279
in Colorado, for example, trying
to keep him off the ballot due to

115
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.879
the fourteenth Amendment. Because of course, as the narrative goes, and there's

116
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.879
some stuff, some stuff in the
stack of stuff today on the website if

117
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.960
you want to read that. But
there's a fight. Those fights are going

118
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.919
on. But unless something crazy happens, Trump's the nominee, Biden is the

119
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.639
Democrats nominee. And Kensinger says,
Hey, I'm riding with Biden, and

120
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.360
so here's what I want you to
hear. This short clip he's on with

121
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.879
Anderson Cooper a couple of days ago, and of course he's he's doing a

122
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.120
little bit of virtue signaling. Or
remember the people that Kinsinger runs with,

123
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:43.600
they are liberal sometimes they are leftist. He's inside the political bubble. He

124
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.639
lives at CNN now, so just
by virtue of being at CNN, I

125
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:58.679
mean, there's a certain type of
behavior, a certain type of expected response

126
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.440
to questions like this position on issues. He can't really say he's a Republican

127
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.519
and being good standing at CNN today, So instead he does something like this

128
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.960
when asked about basically what he's going
to do his position. And I love

129
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.240
how serious this is taken. He's
sitting here all serious as though he's he's

130
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.960
the one that's going to save the
Republican Party from Donald Trump. I mean,

131
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.879
it's crazy. I remember this guy, this guy crying crocodile tears during

132
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.559
the January sixth hearing. He and
Liz Channey the only two that were involved

133
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.519
in that sideshow circus political prosecution of
Trump. These are the same folks.

134
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.159
And by the way, new Speaker
Mike Johnson, I'm looking forward to seeing

135
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:50.000
the release of all of the January
sixth footage because it is clear. Remember

136
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.320
the January sixth commission or committee,
whatever that silly little group was called,

137
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.159
they got rid of all the records. There's no records of anything. It

138
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:05.159
disbanded and everything that they were working
on poof disappeared, kind of like a

139
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.559
lot of the video evidence they didn't
want us to see, and so now

140
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.840
that's going to be released. Kensinger
of course was a part of that.

141
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.399
Kensinger was a part of that,
probably saying things like this to try to

142
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:20.399
get out in front of potential blowback
of video that he didn't let us see.

143
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.799
Now, granted, he was in
the Minority Party, but they were

144
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.120
a uni party. They wouldn't take
any other Republicans besides Liz Cheney and Adam

145
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.720
Kinsinger, and then there were a
there was a gaggle of other radical leftists

146
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.799
in there. But anyway, I
want you to listen to this exchange because

147
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.240
this does represent a fringe element of
the Republican Party. It's small, it's

148
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.960
small. I don't know how many
of these folks can be Kensinger can't be.

149
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.759
I don't know how many folks can
be convinced that Trump is the better

150
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.879
alternative. Maybe a percent or two
of these folks. But this is part

151
00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.519
of the reality of the political world
that we live in, and for fortunately

152
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.360
it represents just a fringe. But
here's Kensinger explaining a little bit of that

153
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:16.159
to Anderson Cooper on CNN all right
here now having problems with the audio Republicans.

154
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.919
So it's a tough question. Ask
him at first, do you still

155
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.639
consider your selfer Republican? All right, sorry about that, here we go,

156
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.559
Do you still consider yourself a Republican? So it's a it's a tough

157
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.639
question. I do only in that
because I don't want to give up on

158
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.559
that fight. And this country needs
two healthy parties, a healthy Democratic Party

159
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.600
and a healthy Republican So I'm not
going to give up that title. A

160
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.120
country needs a good conservative and a
good liberal movement at any time in their

161
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.759
lives. It's crazy. So I
still have the title. But I voted

162
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.440
Democratic last election cycle. If it's
Trump against Joe Biden, I'll vote Democratic

163
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.240
this coming one because Anderson, I
really believe it's down to one issue on

164
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.399
the ballot, Not taxes, not
even abortion, nothing. The one issue

165
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.320
is do you do you believe in
democracy? Or do you believe in authoritarianism?

166
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.519
And I think that's the only thing
we should be voting on. Absurd

167
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:13.840
take absurd, delusional take here to
Kenzinger, it all comes down to one

168
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:20.320
issue. Do you believe in authoritarianism? Excuse me? Or do you believe

169
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.240
in democracy? That's what it comes
down to. Who cares, Kenzinger says,

170
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.480
If we're killing babies, who cares? If we're bankrupting the nation?

171
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.600
Says Kensinger, doesn't matter, None
of that matters. What matters is whether

172
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.960
or not you believe in democracy or
if you're an authoritarian. Now, of

173
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.480
course, I ironically, it's just
it's incredible to think about. It's incredible

174
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.799
to think about. I gotta take
a break here. But if you look

175
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.039
at this and you think about what
Kenzinger is saying, of course, the

176
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.360
way he means it is, Trump's
the authoritarian. We have people who staged

177
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.200
a coup to overthrow this nation.
What am I supposed to do? I

178
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.320
don't want to give up on the
Republican Party. I'm too principled for that,

179
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.320
America too principled for that. I'm
here to stand as the final,

180
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.399
you know, this final push to
save America's democracy. All serious look on

181
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.360
his face and everything else doesn't matter. For killing babies, he says,

182
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.759
doesn't matter. If we bankrupt the
nation, doesn't matter, if we get

183
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.799
in World War III, doesn't matter, if terrorists come oozing across the southern

184
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.840
border. None of that matters.
Stuff on that as the program unfolds as

185
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.519
well, None of that matters to
Kensinger. All the matters to Kinsinger is

186
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.679
whether or not you vote for Trump, and that means you're an authoritarian in

187
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.600
the world of Kinsinger delusional thinking.
By the way, and if you vote

188
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.159
for Biden, of course you believe
in democracy, which is absurd if you

189
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.919
think about it. The left is
the ones the left, the political left,

190
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.440
which has made its home in the
Democrat Party today. Who are the

191
00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:00.200
ones who are the ones that are
working with social media companies to censor what

192
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:06.080
is said? We know this.
It's the Biden administration, the Democrat Party.

193
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.679
Who are the ones, my friends, Who are the ones that want

194
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.360
to limit your Second Amendment rights?
Who are the ones, my friends,

195
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.360
who want to raise your taxes,
who want to tell you that, no

196
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.159
matter what we're spending, it's not
enough in this country, you got to

197
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.200
pay your fair share. Who are
the ones, my friends, whose economic

198
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:34.080
policies led to inflation, historically high
inflation numbers making it virtually impossible for some

199
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.039
families to afford food, a roof
over their head, and everything else.

200
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.840
I mean, friends, The American
dream the dream of whatever you think about

201
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:45.399
having the house and all that sort
of stuff. But that version of the

202
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.399
American dream has been beaten to a
bloody pulp by this administration, by this

203
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:59.200
political party. Who are the ones
that are encouraging policies that open a border

204
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.880
that put this nation at risk from
real Islamo fascists. Who are the ones

205
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:07.599
that do that. Who are the
ones who are more likely to call a

206
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.759
Trump supporter someone who considered themselves a
maga Republican. Who are the ones who

207
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:19.039
are more likely to call that group
fascist, that group terrorist than the real

208
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.559
terrorist, than the real fascists that
are running parts of the Middle East,

209
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.400
who are exporting terrorism around the world. Who are the ones that are doing

210
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:33.480
this? People like Adam Kinzinger.
I know he's a Republican, but he's

211
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.279
a Rhino Republican in name only.
Doesn't want to give up on that title

212
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.480
yet, because oh, he's so
principal. He's very principal, so principled

213
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.720
in the fact that he's willing to
fight to the bitter end to make sure

214
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:51.440
that American does not embrace authoritarianism.
It's pure lunacy, it is absolute sophistry.

215
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.960
And I've got to take a time
out. List sitting here, my

216
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.160
friend, it's a conservative not bitter
talk. I am your host, Todtuff

217
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:17.759
back in a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So I'm gonna shift

218
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.920
gears here just a little bit.
I want to talk a little bit.

219
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.440
There's two things I want to get
to and of course we have limited times,

220
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.119
so I'm going to do my best
here. I want to talk here

221
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.799
about what has happened. There was
a hearing hearing on Tuesday, I believe

222
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:41.359
FBI Director Chris Ray, which,
of course that's a a whole world of

223
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.759
problems just with that in and of
itself, the FBI in today's world,

224
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:56.279
what they've become, the bureaucratic state
within that, You've got the text messages

225
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:03.920
back in the day about trying to
stop Trump from winning the election, remember

226
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.400
that back and forth with Lisa Page
and so forth. This was I mean,

227
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:18.039
the FBI upper level, upper level
leadership positions has proven itself to be

228
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:25.519
very very concerning, as do most
of the agencies within our federal government.

229
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.799
Again, as I've said before,
this is the nature of humanity. The

230
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.319
nature of humanity is to grow things, is to grow things. And when

231
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:41.799
you have a government that our founders
understood. They understood this well. They

232
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.880
studied history, so they saw what
happened when governments got out of control.

233
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:53.799
They understood intrinsically, I should say
intuitively. They understated intuitively the intrinsic problems

234
00:19:53.960 --> 00:20:00.799
that come within a government that has
no limits, or who whose limits are

235
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.480
not enforced. That's why they set
our government up as they did. Our

236
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:11.880
job, our job, as the
well the folks who carry the torch of

237
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:21.119
liberty, those who are amongst the
citizenry that are self governed. Our job

238
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.519
is to keep a constant pressure on
that government from growing. It left to

239
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.759
its own devices, is going to
grow. It's going to grow, and

240
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.720
they're going to promise a lot of
great things, so that the people who

241
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:40.200
are on the outside who are supposed
to be keeping force on that government from

242
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.480
growing downward, force pressing in from
all sides. If the government says,

243
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.519
hey, if you just let us
inch out a little bit more in this

244
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:56.440
area, we can bring economic stability
to your community. We can bring fill

245
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.640
in the blank, right, some
sort of peace, some sort of prosperity,

246
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.519
some sort of benefit. Hey man, you don't need to work anymore.

247
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.920
Just let us do this. Just
a little bit more, and that's

248
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:14.319
captivating and tempting to some people,
and they take their hands. Of course,

249
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:19.119
the truth is a lot of folks
never had their hands on the metaphorical

250
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.039
exterior of the government anyway, applying
inward pressure to keep it from growing.

251
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:27.519
They were out walking through the tulips
or something and not even realizing they had

252
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:33.119
a government because they've been educated in
the public education system or some such thing.

253
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.119
It's not all there's a lot of
problems. By the way, you

254
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:44.559
see, homeschooling is the fastest growing
form homes of schooling in America. Education

255
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.759
in America today might have some words
on that another day. Something that I

256
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.839
think more people should look into.
We've done it here, I should say,

257
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.119
my wife's done it here, and
occasionally have to act principle. But

258
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.640
there's a lot of benefit and it's
not I think what some people believe it

259
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.519
is, and it's not a fit
for everyone. I believe in individual choice,

260
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.599
and we've all got priorities and all
this sort of thing. That's totally

261
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.720
fine, but I think more people, more people should look into that anyway.

262
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.400
So the American people, we've taken
our hands and off of the exterior

263
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.079
of the government. We've let it
grow to some massive, out of control

264
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.519
situation and it becomes corrupt, right, it becomes corrupt. And then it's

265
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:30.839
almost like, well, what are
you gonna do to stop it? We're

266
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.359
so big, we're so massive,
nothing you can do about us. We'll

267
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:40.039
show up to Congress, We'll say
what we want to say. We'll sit

268
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:41.839
before the Senate, we'll sit before
the House. It doesn't matter who we

269
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.079
sit before. If we don't want
to talk about something, we won't.

270
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:52.240
My Orcus was before Congress. Recently
it got a little tense. Christopher Ray

271
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.559
is before Congress. Here, Senate, I believe gets a little intense.

272
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.000
But again, and it's almost like
try us, you know, we'll tell

273
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.599
we'll tell the we'll tell the legislative
branch. Well, we'll do what we

274
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.079
want. What are you gonna do
about it? I'm gonna sit here and

275
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:15.559
answer these questions of the way that
I want, or not answer them anyway.

276
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.319
It's it's it's a massive problem,
is the point. So FBI is

277
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:25.880
out of control. We know that
FBI, like it or not, believe

278
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.319
it's constitutional or not. All it's
right. Now. That's what we've got.

279
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:36.160
We've got a corrupt FBI. And
but they have a job. They

280
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.680
have a job, and it's an
important job, a job that someone needs

281
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.960
to be doing, a job that
someone needs to be doing. Of course

282
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.279
they don't do then they're not enforcing
the border. But you know, they're

283
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:51.720
in charge of federal law enforcement.
And so they are in charge of keeping

284
00:23:51.880 --> 00:24:00.519
Americans safe, right and in a
certain sense, protecting the American people from

285
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.119
those that are coming across the border
or those who are domestically you know,

286
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.440
just Americans here and so forth.
But they have a job to protect the

287
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:12.400
American people. But he was,
he was before the Senate asking, or

288
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:22.000
I should say, answering answering questions
about terrorism, answering questions about the real

289
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:30.559
dangers that we face in this country
today. And he was asked about the

290
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:38.319
dangers that we face from terrorists coming
across the southern southern border. And I

291
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.119
just want you to listen to this. Now we know this, none of

292
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.000
this is surprising, but it's quite
something to hear it coming from the mouth

293
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:53.039
of the FBI director, the risk
of attacks on our own soil. Again,

294
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:59.160
what should be fresh in our mind
is October seventh in Israel. What

295
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:04.119
should be fresh in our mind is
what we're seeing unfold. Terrorists attacking and

296
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:11.880
being fought against by the IDF,
the Israeli Defense Forces. Middle East tensions,

297
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:17.599
you know, the war chants are
being sung around the world, people

298
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:22.920
sending aircraft carriers and everything else to
the Middle East. Missiles being shot.

299
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.240
US bases have been attacked twenty three
times in the past two weeks. In

300
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:33.680
the Middle East. Tensions are high, fights over who's responsible for civilian casualties

301
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.160
in Gaza. These are things that
are on the other side of the globe.

302
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:44.200
But my friend, we have been
importing some of this. It's been

303
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.920
documented that there have been terrorists across
our southern borders. There have been more

304
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:53.160
terrorists that had been encountered along the
southern border in this past year than ever

305
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.559
before, dramatically, So if you
go back two or three years, it's

306
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.599
something like three terrorists I think it
worth three five is single digits terrorists that

307
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.359
we had encountered along the southern border
this year. It was our last fiscal

308
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:11.480
year, it was like one hundred
and fifty or one hundred and seventy something

309
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.160
like that. I don't have it
in front of me, but I've read

310
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.559
that, and of course the people
on the internet. Trolls will say,

311
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:19.599
well, look we're doing a better
job, we're catching more of them.

312
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.880
That's not how that works. You
catch a percentage of them. You catch

313
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.039
a percentage of these folks, and
if you're catching high numbers, the percentages

314
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:34.480
that you're catching. Unless there's a
specific campaign, which we know this administration

315
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:41.160
is not running. Unless there's a
specific attempt to tighten up security and to

316
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.920
improve somewhere, that's not how you
just explain this. You explain this by

317
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.119
saying we caught more because there were
more coming across. So anyway, in

318
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:55.079
light of all of that, here's
Christopher Ray telling Congress, telling the legislative

319
00:26:55.119 --> 00:27:02.319
branch the reality of the danger that
we face today here in this great But,

320
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:06.599
as I said a few moments ago, on top of the homegrown violent

321
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:11.319
extremists and domestic violent extremist threat,
we also cannot and do not discount the

322
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:18.480
possibility that HAMAS or another foreign terrorist
organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct

323
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:25.799
attacks here on our own soil.
We have kept our sites on HAMAS and

324
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:34.519
have multiple ongoing investigations into individuals affiliated
with that foreign terrorist organization. The only

325
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.839
thing I would say here is that
they're not looking I mean, to take

326
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.000
advantage of what's happening over there.
They are who they are, they're not

327
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.640
looking to take advantage. They might
be inspired, so to speak, bad

328
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.279
bad, that that's what inspires them. But some of them might be inspired

329
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:57.599
by the violence in the Mid East
and Israel and so forth in Gaza.

330
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:03.440
But the real thing that they're trying
to exploit if they are to carry out

331
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:11.240
a terrorist attack is the complete unwillingness
of this administration to secure our border.

332
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:17.960
They would be exploiting an open border. That is what they would be exploiting,

333
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:26.720
not exploiting circumstances over there, exploiting
this porous open southern border. It's

334
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.960
a real threat, my friends,
and that is the thing that we should

335
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:36.319
keep our eyes on most here domestically
when we think about this war on terrorism,

336
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.119
which is still which is still being
fought, my friends, Quick time

337
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:53.839
out back in just a minute.

344
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:44.319
Again, that's America's CHRISTIANCU dot com
slash radio. Let's get back to

345
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:51.160
this discussion here from the Senate.
In the Senate between the FBI director and

346
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:59.480
well senators who are asking questions.
This particular question is being asked by one

347
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:04.759
of the senators from Florida. This
is Rick Scott. He asks FBI Director

348
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:12.039
Christopher Ray a very well simple question, as he puts it here in his

349
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:18.640
tweet. In fact, here's what
Rick Scott's tweet of this SoundBite says.

350
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.640
It says this, I asked FBI
Director Ray a simple question. Is the

351
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:30.640
US safer today than it was before
Joe Biden took office? After nearly ten

352
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.200
seconds of silence, which you will
hear in this clip. It's not edited.

353
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.400
It's the real time video clip.
If you're watching it, you're gonna

354
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:47.359
hear it, of course as an
audio clip, and after nearly ten seconds

355
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.720
of silence, he finally admitted what
we all know, the terror threats have

356
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:59.279
been elevated demonstrably true. Of course
it's true. We know that it's true,

357
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:06.279
and iasionally get messages from people on
social media proof you know. I

358
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:11.200
we go through evidence. I don't. That's another thing. It's it's evidence,

359
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:14.880
you know. I don't know if
people understand the difference between evidence and

360
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:19.119
proof. But there's evidence. I
respect the individual to interpret the evidence.

361
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.400
We give evidence, We give evidence. Someone has to make an individual has

362
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:30.359
to make their own verdict. But
some of the evidence is so overwhelmingly powerful

363
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:41.079
that it makes the that it almost
clearly clearly exceeds any burden of proof in

364
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.559
a reasonable sense, eclipsing all reasonable
doubt. But it's still up to the

365
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.559
individual. That's the beauty of this
country. We have as individuals, we're

366
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:56.839
casting our own verdicts. But to
me, we've presented so much evidence that

367
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:04.440
the verdict is, I mean,
completely obvious. This nation is in every

368
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.640
measurable way, my friends, and
I mean this, in every measurable way,

369
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:16.000
this nation is dramatically worse off than
it was before Biden came into office.

370
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:20.240
There is tell me how it's not
tell me, give me, give

371
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:25.599
me an example. We've We've given
multiple examples of the ways that it is

372
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:30.279
worse. I've explained why, and
I've even been fair. I've said not

373
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:38.000
all of this is directly Biden's fault, but those things that he has,

374
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:45.400
well, he's done things proactively that
have made situations worse. He has responded

375
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:51.240
to things sometimes that he can't control, and the response has not made things

376
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.200
any better. The response has actually
helped make things worse. I mean,

377
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.160
I don't know what else to say
to folks, but I want you to

378
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.920
listen to this, and I want
you to go back in your memory bank

379
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:07.920
and say, with these things happening
prior to Biden opening the border, well

380
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:12.839
Todd, he didn't open the border, folks. He's not enforcing existing law.

381
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:20.000
He's also changed several of Trump's policies, including the remain in Mexico policy.

382
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:27.079
He has made Folks coming to the
southern border will say that they are

383
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.440
there. I've seen it on video. They are there because they're appealing to

384
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:37.440
Biden to let him in. He
is providing a pathway for people to come

385
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.160
to this country, to go in
to be given a court date. Years

386
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:45.680
in advance that many of them never
show up for and they are allowed to

387
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.440
just go into the country. I
don't know catch and release is exactly what

388
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.119
is going on, and I'm not
sure how much catching is going on.

389
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:59.880
We've still stopped. With that being
said, more terrorists than we have ever

390
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.200
coming across the Southern Board. I
don't know what else to say to people

391
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.519
who who don't see this, who
don't want to see this anyway. Here's

392
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.239
Rick Scott's twenty four second clip.
Half of this is almost silence, but

393
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:20.039
here is his question to FBI Director
Christopher Ray and the delay and silence in

394
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.159
his response, and then finally a
little bit of response coming from ray isself.

395
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:28.760
But here it is the United States
safer from foreign terror threats? Today?

396
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.239
Are we safer than when Joe Biden
took office? From the day he

397
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:42.320
took office? What I would say
to you is that the terror threats have

398
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.719
elevated. But I also think there
are a lot of things the country has

399
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.320
done throughout law enforcement to be better
prepared to deal with them. Oh you

400
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.119
think so what part of that?
What defunding the police? You think that's

401
00:34:53.159 --> 00:35:00.480
made the law enforcement in this country
better equipped to respond to terror tax.

402
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:07.320
Pray, tell Christopher Ray what has
been done, What has been done by

403
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:15.119
liberal politicians, the president of the
United States, mayors and governors of blue

404
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:22.519
states. Pray, tell what they've
done to strengthen law enforcement. I mean,

405
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:24.840
it wasn't that long ago when all
law enforcement and they still are.

406
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:29.280
I don't but I mean, it
was a heated period of time in the

407
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:34.440
wake of the George Floyd death.
In the wake of his death, there

408
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:43.239
was tremendous amount of tension between law
enforcement and people in this country, and

409
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.679
it still exists. I'm not saying
we're just completely through it, but what

410
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:52.280
part of it? What part has
been made better in law enforcement? And

411
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:57.400
in a sane world, my friends, if the terror threat has increased,

412
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:00.320
then we are, by death,
not safer. I mean, do we

413
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:06.119
have to connect those dots too,
Instead of saying, yes, we're we're

414
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:08.639
more at risk now than we were
before. He pauses for seven or eight

415
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:15.360
seconds I counted. Then he says, the terror threat has raised, but

416
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:21.320
but we're better equipped. Law enforcement's
better equipped to handle those threats. Really,

417
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.840
is it better to let the threat's
in? Does that seem to make

418
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.239
sense? Does any of this make
sense to you? Because it doesn't to

419
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.480
the rational people I know in the
world today, Quick time out back in

420
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:39.360
just a minute on back with my
friends. We're going to set a record

421
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:43.360
here. I don't think we've done
this before. Played a third clip.

422
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:52.119
This is John Kirby talking with the
media. Administration official here talking with the

423
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:58.559
media, and he's asked by Peter
Doocy. He's asked by Peter Doocy what

424
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.880
seems to be a very love question. And I want you to listen to

425
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.840
this answer this exchange. We don't
have a lot of time left, but

426
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:09.119
I want you to hear this.
Is it possible that somebody who wants to

427
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:15.559
commit a terrorist attack during a time
of elevated threat across the southern border into

428
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.559
the United States? Fall right?
I couldn't possibly answer that question, Peter.

429
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:24.079
All I can do is tell you
that we have remain vigilant to that

430
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:35.239
potential threat. So he can't possibly
answer that question. The question was,

431
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:40.679
is it possible? Is it possible, mister Kirby, that someone has already

432
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:46.320
crossed our border who has intentions of
conducting a terrorist attack? Is that possible?

433
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:52.079
You know that we've detained, We've
encountered one hundred and fifty whatever it

434
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.599
was in fiscal year twenty twenty three. Is it possible? How is it

435
00:37:55.639 --> 00:38:00.960
not possible? How could Kirby say
what the straight face can't possibly answer that

436
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:05.920
question? You absolutely can. The
only reason you can't is because you've been

437
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:10.119
instructed not to, or it's gonna
have some negative political consequence for your president.

438
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.679
But it is not because you can't
logic demands that the answer is quite

439
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.280
simple. Yes, it's quite possible. Fact, it's very in fact,

440
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:24.800
it's likely that there are people that
have come across this border that want to

441
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:29.039
inflict harm on this country. Time
out, my friends, back in just

442
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:44.400
a minute. Welcome back, my
friends. Not a lot of time left

443
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:46.119
here today. But I will tell
you this. I will tell you this.

444
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:52.920
This country, without question, is
in a much worse position than it

445
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.840
