Here's your conservative but not bitter host Todd Huff. Yes, 5 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.640 my friend's Nicki Haley's out there trying to explain why she lost to literally 6 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.240 the candidate of No. One in the Nevada primary, which didn't matter anyway. 7 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.320 Crazy series of events, I tell you what. And she's down thirty 8 00:00:53.399 --> 00:01:00.359 seven points to Trump in South Carolina, which is her home state. Talk 9 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.480 about that today, along with lots of other things that we have in the 10 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.840 news cycle. And you may hear.

Usually I get this once a 13 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.120 year. Oh no, this time. This time it's hit me twice. 14 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.040 So the vocals, I shouldn't be that big of a deal because it doesn't 15 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.400 feel that bad. But I do know that I sound a little bit different. 16 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.040 But I will make it, my friends, I will make it. 17 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.159 Everything is fine, it's just the way that it goes sometimes.

So we talked about this briefly yesterday. 22 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.400 Nicki Haley, of course she's you may or may not know this. 23 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:09.520 She's running for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. She is 24 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:19.319 getting just obliterated every time there's a poll, every time there is a caucus 25 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.000 or primary. Fact, I'd said before the New Hampshire primary that this was 26 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.680 her best chance because she was out there, remember in Novat or excuse me, 27 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:34.879 in New Hampshire, she was out there recruiting Democrat crossover votes. In 28 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.159 fact, exit polling, I'm going from memory here, but we talked about 29 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:44.680 this on this program a couple of weeks ago. Exit data. Exit polling 30 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:51.039 showed that Nicki Haley, the people that voted for her in New Hampshire, 31 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:57.479 seventy percent of them were not previously registered as Republicans prior to the day of 32 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.680 the primary, and that was her best chance to get Democrat voters. She 33 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.280 still thinks she's making the case anyway that she's got a chance. Of course 34 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.639 she doesn't. I mean, there's a chance, and there's a chance, 35 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.840 just like in the movie Dumb and Dumber. You're telling me there's a chance. 36 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:22.759 For those of you that saw that movie, when Lloyd Christmas asked forget 37 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.479 her name, Mary Swanson? Is it? That's it? That's pretty remarkable 38 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.680 because I don't remember stuff like that. I think that was her name. 39 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:34.199 Though he asked her, what's the chances of a girl like me, of 40 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.360 a girl like me getting with a guy like you? That's what he asked 41 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:42.840 her back when we weren't confused on our gender. That was actually something you 42 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.319 could laugh at. She told him one in a million. And instead of 43 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.840 being upset by that, instead of being discouraged by that, Lloyd Christmas says, 44 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.919 so you're telling me there's a chance, and that is about as good 45 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.400 of a chance as NICKI Haley has here in winning the Republican primary. Now 46 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.000 this is not personal for me. We have to talk about this. You 47 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.039 step into the political arena, you have effectively agreed to put on your big 48 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:18.560 boy and or big girl pants. It comes with a certain amount of I 49 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.000 mean, you open yourself up to criticism and critique, and rightfully so. 50 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.920 Now it shouldn't be it shouldn't be hateful, it shouldn't be vile, it 51 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.279 shouldn't be personal. But we have to be able to make the point because 52 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:42.519 this is the most important decision Americans make electorally with their actual vote. Then, 53 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.199 well, there's many important I'm not saying there's lots of important roles, 54 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:51.000 but the presidency is a big one, and so you have to be prepared 55 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.160 to answer the tough questions. And so she was asked. She was pretty 56 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.000 much asked about how she lost to none of the above. It wasn't just 57 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.800 that it was a close race either. She lost by more than thirty points, 58 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:13.920 thirty points to literally no one. People in Nevada chose the option that 59 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.199 said we would rather have no one listed here than Nicki Haley. Trump wasn't 60 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.439 on the ballot. She didn't lose directly to Trump. Of course, we 61 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:29.360 all know that she did in another sense, of course, But she is 62 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.399 out here trying to explain this away. She has to try to explain this 63 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.079 away, and so what does she do. She comes out and she basically 64 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:44.240 sounds like the typical Democrat, the typical leftist, the typical member of the 65 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.279 seven pillars of propaganda, trying to persuade people to believe that Trump did something 66 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:56.639 here in nefarious. Trump was the one responsible. Trump rigged the Nevada primary 67 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.199 process. According to Nicki Haley, I want you to listen to this, 68 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.360 and this is of course rather ironic coming from someone who doesn't like to hear 69 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.920 Trump talk about twenty twenty being rigged, But nonetheless here we go. Nikki 70 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.480 Haley being asked about this in an interview, is that situation Nevada hurt a 71 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.279 little bit? No, I mean Nevada. It's such a scam. They 72 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.639 were supposed to have a primary. Trump rigged it so that the GOP chairman 73 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.680 who's been indicted would go and create a caucus. We knew months ago that 74 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.360 we weren't going to spend a day or a dollar in Nevada because it wasn't 75 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.519 worth it, and so we didn't even count Nevada. That wasn't anything we 76 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:39.600 were looking at. We knew that was rigged from the start. Our focus 77 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.480 is on South Carolina, Michigan Super Tuesday so if you look what we did, 78 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.439 and I when you look what we did in New Hampshire, we're continuing 79 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.560 to grow. That's what matters. I think people are dropping out what happened 80 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:57.439 this week here you have Republicans lost a major vote on the border, Republicans 81 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.160 lost a major vote on Israel. Donald Trump was found that he will not 82 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.519 have immunity in all of these court cases coming up. The R and C 83 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:12.360 chair is fired. All of this chaos is happening around us, and Donald 84 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.160 Trump's fingerprints on every bit of it. We can't continue as the Republican Party 85 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:25.199 to go forward with this chaos. You don't defeat Democrat chaos with Republicans in 86 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.000 chaos. And that's why we've got to see a change, all right, 87 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:33.439 You don't defeat Democrat chaos, she says, with Republican chaos. And I 88 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.600 got a few thoughts on that. Well, first of all, this is 89 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.160 a delusional, delusional way of looking at this. It didn't matter, she 90 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:47.800 said, Look, we didn't spend any money here. She didn't really care 91 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.240 about Nevada. She expected, I guess, because she didn't spend any money 92 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.839 to lose to no one. Quite. Look, now I'm not saying she 93 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.959 lost to No. One. As saying she finished first, I'm saying she 94 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.839 actually lost to a general name on the ballot that says none of these candidates. 95 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:13.079 So people selected a nameless, faceless person of No. One over Nikki 96 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.560 Haley. She doesn't think that's a big deal. I don't care. If 97 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.519 you didn't spend a nickel in the state, that is a big deal. 98 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:31.639 And by the way, who I mentioned this yesterday? I mentioned this yesterday. 99 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.360 So I'm looking here, you know, why did Nicki Haley not participate 100 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:46.200 in the caucus because that is where that is where the elector the excuse me, 101 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.240 the delegates are awarded. It's not in the primary results. So why 102 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.080 didn't she Why didn't she do that? I mean, I've looked at this. 103 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.559 I didn't know. Did she miss a deadline? Did they sneak this 104 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.240 past her campaign? I mean, Trump's the one that's having to deal with 105 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.000 people trying to keep him off the ballot, and yet he's finding ways to 106 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.759 do this. I mean, I don't think anybody's out there actively opposing the 107 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:18.120 candidacy, meaning the right that Nicki Haley has to run and be on the 108 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.080 ballot, so she doesn't have to fight those battles, don't I just what 109 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.519 is what happened here? It seems to me she just chose her campaign chose 110 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:33.720 not to not to participate in the caucus in the caucus instead opting to participate 111 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.639 in the primary. I mean Trump got signed up into the caucus. I'm 112 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.000 reading this is nbcnews dot Com, so of course take it for what it's 113 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.639 worth. Nevada is typically a major, hard fought stop on the path to 114 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.480 the Republican presidential nomination, except this year the fight is off. Nevada Republicans 115 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.679 are holding caucuses on Thursday, was yesterday, which we'll be used to allocate 116 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.440 delegates to the national convention. Former President Donald Trump is running virtually unopposed. 117 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.639 His top GOP opponent, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, didn't put her name 118 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.559 on the caucus ballot. She's instead participating in Tuesday's state run primary, which 119 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:24.039 is mandated under state law but has no delegates at stake. President Joe Biden 120 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.519 is on the ballot for the Democratic Party's nomination excuse me, parties primary, 121 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.759 which is the party's official contest in the state. And then, of course, 122 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.919 this article explains the differences between the caucus and the primary, which I 123 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:45.279 won't get into that, but the bottom line is why, why doesn't tell 124 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.639 me? Why does she make this decision? Hailey is the only major candidate 125 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.480 on the state run primary ballot, which again makes her ineligible to win delegates 126 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.320 in the state. I mean, it just doesn't. It's like there's no 127 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:05.679 curiosity. I mean, what happened? What is what result? What caused 128 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.240 her to not be there? Trump didn't stop her for being there. She 129 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:16.639 instead, she wants to malign an individual who she says has been indicted colluding. 130 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.440 I guess with Trump rigging the election in Nevada for Trump, except miss 131 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:30.480 Haley, you got shellacked by nobody. You got hammered by someone who doesn't 132 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:39.320 even exist. This is Trump wasn't even on your ballot. You couldn't finish 133 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:46.840 first. You lost to none of these candidates literally that option. People said 134 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.000 I would rather not have a candidate than have Nikki Haley, and that none 135 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.759 of these candidates, effectively, no one, the name no One, the 136 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:03.039 mythical person of no One, beat you by third points. How is that 137 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.799 Trump's fault? How is this rational? How is this logical? How does 138 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:15.720 any of this make any sense? Whatsoever. It doesn't, of course it 139 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.919 doesn't. Of course, this is what happens when you have no reason to 140 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.600 be running a campaign. And again it's not personal, but my goodness, 141 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.519 there's no reason. I have been remarkably consistent on this from the beginning, 142 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.360 and I never thought I would be in this position. When I started this 143 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.399 show back in twenty fifteen, I thought I would not be endorsing or making 144 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.679 the case for anyone during the primary process. As a general rule of thumb, 145 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.360 I followed that. I remember, back in twenty sixteen, I did 146 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.200 not, you know. In fact, I remember doing an episode where I 147 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.440 found something positive to say about all sixteen candidates. It was difficult for a 148 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.200 couple, but I could find something that I could legitimately say positively about the 149 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.159 person. But there was some really good candidates in that mix as well, 150 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.720 and I said some good things about all of them. Whoever was there at 151 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:13.679 the time. But this is a different scenario. That was when that was 152 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.679 back before everything happening with Trump happened. That was back before you know, 153 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.120 we all knew, or most of us knew, those of us that were 154 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.159 paying attention, we knew that there were problems in this country. We knew 155 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.919 that the swamp was a mess. We knew that the bureaucratic state was an 156 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:39.639 absolute, just sickening disaster. But I think at least for me, and 157 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.759 maybe you knew more than me, but I don't think I understood how bad 158 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.440 it was. It was at least twice as bad, maybe ten times as 159 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.360 bad as I thought that it was back then. And to see the reaction 160 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.399 to Trump, to see Trump's not just candidate see but also his term as 161 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:07.159 president, the things that he did, his willingness to continue to do, 162 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.440 the things that he promised to do. You can disagree with his policies, 163 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.000 you can dislike his tweets, but folks, he pretty much did or attempted 164 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.480 to do what he said he was going to do. This is remarkably rare 165 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:28.240 in a world where Republican candidates often campaign and fundraise on issues and then never 166 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.159 do anything about them when they have the political power to do so. They 167 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.480 are happy getting elected and re elected. They're happy to stuff the coffers full 168 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.360 of dollars for future campaigns and so forth current campaigns, but don't actually hold 169 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.519 their feet to the father fire. In fact, I actually wrote a little 170 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.320 bit about this in this week's column, which went out on Wednesday night. 171 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.720 Wednesday Night, well you can get that by free or for free by the 172 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.960 way, at todtefshow dot com. I wrote about this specifically in regards to 173 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.120 the southern border because I took talked about how Biden blamed Trump and Maga Republicans 174 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.639 for not securing the border, and then of course we did a little bit 175 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.120 of a reality check and painted the picture as to how we got to where 176 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.759 we were, how many years and decades the border had been basically ignored or 177 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:24.799 was only used as a political, i don't know, talking point shiny object 178 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.519 to get the base riled up about supporting a candidate, and then they did 179 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.000 nothing. Those who elected did nothing once they were elected about that issue until 180 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:41.720 Trump and Trump brought with him or pushed with him Republicans that went kicking and 181 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.639 screaming. And it's one of the reasons they don't like him, by the 182 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:50.000 way, because he actually forced them to do the things that they were campaigning 183 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.960 to do, and they didn't like it. They didn't like it because they 184 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.919 have supporters who candidly look at illegal immigrants as a source of labor, and 185 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.080 and that's it, not as human beings created in the image of Almighty God. 186 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:11.480 Fact that instead they look at them as just inexpensive labor. And of 187 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.240 course the other side of the owl looks at them as votes. But neither 188 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.840 one of them looks at them as really at the core of the parties. 189 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.000 They don't look at them as human beings with the rights given to them by 190 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.519 God. Who are individuals who, by the way, we have a right 191 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.000 to say how many folks or who comes in, how many come in? 192 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.399 We actually have a sovereign border. We should anyway, We don't in reality, 193 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:40.279 but we should, and that's totally legitimate to have that. So it's 194 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.879 generally speaking, when you look at these things and you look at who Trump 195 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:52.000 is and what he did politically, it's obvious that he has to finish the 196 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:57.039 job, and we need a deep bench after Trump. But it's after Trump. 197 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.080 It's not in twenty twenty four. Trump needs to win this one in 198 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.519 twenty twenty. I've said this for a long long time. Some of you 199 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.880 may disagree with that, but most of you do, because Trump is destroying. 200 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.400 Anybody who so much pretends or runs half a half hearted campaign against him, 201 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:23.240 they get just obliterated in these primaries. Nikki Haley is going to be 202 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:29.960 next, but again, what is she doing here? Strategically, No one 203 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.200 forced her onto the primary ballot. She chose, so far as I can 204 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.960 tell, to be on the primary ballot instead of the caucus. That's not 205 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.960 Trump's fault. And it's definitely not Trump's fault that you lost by thirty points, 206 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:47.279 Miss Haley, to none of these candidates and the other people that were 207 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.319 on there that people chose, some people chose over you. You beat them, 208 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.240 but they were people that have dropped out of the race. Pence was 209 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.960 on there. I think was the Santas on there, I don't remember, 210 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:02.359 but Tim Scott I know was were people that aren't even in the race. 211 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.440 Now she beat them. The people were choosing. If you add up the 212 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.200 people that chose, none of these candidates or candidates that weren't even on the 213 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.279 in the race anymore. She lost. She barely got not she didn't even 214 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.359 get a third of the vote. That's not Trump's fault. Trump didn't rig 215 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.640 that. Your campaign was unable to convince people to vote for you. That's 216 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.960 the bottom line. So she also made a comment that I want to talk 217 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.279 about here in the next segment. Or two. As I'm over really long 218 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.000 this segment, but the next couple of segments she made a comment. She 219 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.720 made a comment something about just because the Democrat Party is chaotic, we don't 220 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.279 need to be chaotic as well. I want to talk about that because I 221 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.400 think that's an important thing to understand and have some context on as well. 222 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.880 But we'll do that in due course. My friends, sit tight back here 223 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:59.440 in a minute. Welcome back to my friends. So one of the things 224 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:07.599 Nicky Hate said in that clip I played last segment was basically that we cannot 225 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:15.440 as the Republican Party just because the Democrat Party is in chaos. We cannot. 226 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.680 That does not mean that we need to have a party of chaos. 227 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.480 Now. First of all, she said that we lost the vote, which 228 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.480 I guess she was referencing the board the so called border bill, which again 229 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.880 was what I wrote about in this week's column. We've talked about this pretty 230 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:41.559 extensively in the past few days this week. Whatever that bill was garbage. 231 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.559 I don't know if she's defending that bill. I don't know if she's claiming 232 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:52.920 that the bill needed that we missed an opportunity to negotiate a better bill. 233 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.839 I don't know what she's really after. But the bottom line is this is, 234 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:06.519 dare I say indisputable. What needs to happen along the border is Biden 235 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:14.720 needs to basically rescind his executive orders, undo the executive action he took that 236 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:21.720 reversed Trump's action. So basically, if Biden goes in and says, let 237 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:27.000 me wipe from the record all of the things that I have done that are 238 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.640 the opposite of what Trump did on the border, let's go back to what 239 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:37.640 Trump was doing. If he simply did that, border security would improve quickly 240 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:42.119 and significantly. Now there may be things, In fact, there definitely are 241 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.799 things that Congress is going to have to deal with at some point. But 242 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:52.759 the first issue is, of course securing the border, stopping the mess that's 243 00:20:52.839 --> 00:21:00.920 happening from happening, reversing some of these policies like catch and release, returning 244 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:07.200 some of the policies like remain in Mexico policy, just stopping the madness, 245 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.920 just using your brain as you would as a reasonable person. Of course, 246 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.759 they know this, but they choose not to do it. They choose not 247 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.599 to do it, and if conditions get bad enough, and they have by 248 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.480 the way, they've gotten bad enough to where the average American knows that there's 249 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.519 a massive problem on the border. I've said this a lot, and I'll 250 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.119 say it again. We've won that issue. We've theoretically, or in the 251 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:37.119 world of discourse, we have one Sanity has won on the issue of border 252 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:45.400 security. It is one. The problem is. The problem is Republicans have 253 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.960 a way, and politicians in general have a way, but particularly Republicans have 254 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:57.519 a way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Now I'm under no 255 00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.119 illusion here. I know that Republicans have They don't have control of the Senate. 256 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.480 I know Republicans don't have control of the White House. I understand that. 257 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.799 But I also understand that there are people out there that are committed leftists, 258 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.480 committed Democrats who are have had enough of this. You have Mayor Eric 259 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.519 Adams in New York City who's basically saying, of course, he's blaming the 260 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:32.920 wrong people. He's blaming, say Governor Abbott or Governor DeSantis for transporting illegal 261 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.400 aliens to their state, to their city. I guess in this instance they're 262 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.960 upset about this. He's upset about that. But the problem is they're transporting 263 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.039 people there because you've established yourself as a sanctuary city. You're the one that 264 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.200 is using this as kind of a virtue signal opportunity. But in reality turns 265 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:57.799 out there are things to consider like price tags and what is feasible and reasonable 266 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.480 for people for a city to be able to do. And there's not an 267 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:11.960 endless amount of money to accommodate massive amounts of people who are currently not working 268 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.079 who I mean, there's just a massive amount of problems and stress that this 269 00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:19.480 can place on a city, on a state, on a country, and 270 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:26.319 virtue signaling aside at some point, unless you're the federal government and just make 271 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.559 up money by the printing press or inflate, you know, use the tools 272 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.920 that allow you to create inflation, which they've done that at record rates as 273 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.400 well, unless states don't have that option, and so they're stuck with the 274 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:47.640 realities. They've got to make the sides of the accounting sheep balance and they 275 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.680 can't. They can't do that. And so I don't know what Nicki Haley 276 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.240 is specifically talking about here. I don't know if she thought it was a 277 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:02.559 failure that this bill didn't pass that even says more about if she's arguing for 278 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.799 this bill. That's even more of a reason not to support her. In 279 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.759 case you needed that, I don't. I don't need that. But it 280 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.079 doesn't matter anyway. She's not going to be the nominee. But regardless, 281 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.480 she makes this comment that just because the Democratic Party is in chaos is acting 282 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.240 chaotically, it doesn't mean the Republicans do. So she says that, hey, 283 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:32.119 we've lost this vote. You know, some things happen here that got 284 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.799 out of our control. It's messy. She didn't reference this, I don't 285 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:41.240 believe, But you know, what about the impeachment of Secretary Alejandro my orcis? 286 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.519 What about that? That's kind of up in the air causing tumult and 287 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.519 turmoil and chaos within the Republican Party. You've got the whole thing with Ronald 288 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.319 McDaniel. Is she going to stay or go? What's really going on there? 289 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.839 All these sorts of things, Mitch McConnell. You got Ted Cruz calling 290 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.480 for his resignation. And she didn't name these all these things specifically. She 291 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.839 named some of them, and she says, we can't beat chaos by ourselves 292 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.000 being chaotic. But I look at this differently, and I'm going to talk 293 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:11.599 about that on the other side of the break. But I got to take 294 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.960 a break, my friends. Clock is telling me it is time, and 295 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:25.400 I'm going to oblige quick time out back in a minute, yes, my 296 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.079 friends, So we are going to talk a little bit about this argument that 297 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:33.839 Nikki Haley is making that Republicans need to stop the chaos. Trump is chaos. 298 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.319 We can't be like the Democrats. We need to have a slow, 299 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:42.119 steady hand at the helm here, and she's going to be able to provide 300 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:48.119 it, even though she's losing in primaries to a candidate named No. One 301 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.079 and she's down thirty seven points in her own state. And again, I 302 00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:56.720 don't take pleasure with it. I'm just trying to put this into perspective. 303 00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.680 This is none of this makes any sense. But before we do that, 304 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.599 let me give you a little bit of information about one of our partners here 305 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.519 at the top of show, Harvard Gold Group. My friends, did you 306 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:14.880 know that gold has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dow since 307 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:22.440 nineteen seventy one when the US took the dollar off the gold standard, and 308 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.279 is that a coincidence? When the US government allowed, yes allowed people to 309 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.200 own gold again, they reclassified gold as a commodity rather than a paper currency 310 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:40.440 backstop. Even though the US itself hoards and holds the highest amount of physical 311 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.799 gold in its own reserves, all countries, all central banks, all major 312 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.279 institutions, and yes, even the i m F itself, the International Monetary 313 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:56.960 Fund own substantial gold holdings. Of all these folks that control the Fiat paper 314 00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:03.480 money system have physical gold. Should you consider having some yourself as well? 315 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.720 If you'd like to learn more about that, if you'd like to explore what 316 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.359 it would look like to own gold, encourage you to reach out to our 317 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:15.480 friends at Harvardgoldgroup dot com. That's Harvard, like the university, but of 318 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.240 course nothing like the university. Harvard gooldgroup dot com. Use promo code Todd. 319 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:25.559 That's my first name, Todd for a two hundred and fifty dollars credit 320 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:33.599 Harvard Gooldgroup dot com promo code Todd. So what about this argument that Nikki 321 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:41.680 Haley is making about the Republican Party not being able or not needing to not 322 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:49.000 be in chaos like the Democrat Party is is in chaos. Well, in 323 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.519 the one in one sense, I mean, she's she's right. The Republican 324 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.680 Party should not be in chaos. But I question what she really means by 325 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:03.720 that, because what what's happening both in the Republican Party and the Democrat Party 326 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:10.559 could be called chaotic because there is there's not just control. It's not just 327 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:17.400 a battle of control of the American political system in this country. It's not 328 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:22.960 just a battle between Republicans and Democrats for political prominence and power so that they 329 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:29.880 can push their agenda through. It's there's also two sub fights, I guess 330 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:37.000 within each party. You have the radical left and moderate slash liberal Democrats fighting 331 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.799 one another for control of the Democrat Party. The radical left being the likes 332 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:49.599 of aoc Rasheta Talib, I mean Bernie Sanders been just people who who hate 333 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:55.279 this country as as founded. They think it's an atrocious place. People that 334 00:28:55.319 --> 00:29:00.279 would have a really hard time explaining to you why they even why anybody would 335 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.319 even want to immigrate here legally or illegally, because of how much they hate 336 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:10.599 and malign this country. They want to fundamentally change this country as founded. 337 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.400 So you have the radical left who wants a fundamental reworking of the whole system. 338 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.519 They don't like capitalism, they don't like the constitution, they don't like 339 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.000 the Bill of Rights. They don't like this concept that our rights and our 340 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.359 liberties come from Almighty God and not from government. They don't like that the 341 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:34.680 Constitution constrains the government. They don't like this idea that basically the individual is 342 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:37.680 paramount in this country. They don't like any of that. They want to 343 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.000 flip all that on its head. They're status they're socialists, they're communists, 344 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:48.680 they're collectivists. Their lovers a big government. They make the rules. You 345 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.079 and I shut up and comply, pay our taxes and do what they say 346 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:53.880 while they live high off the hog, and they ruin our lives. That's 347 00:29:53.920 --> 00:30:00.039 basically what they want to do. There's also the regular Democrats, like a 348 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.759 union democrat, who it really is, has more in common with me than 349 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.039 they would ever even remotely have in common with that person I just described. 350 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:18.480 Teachers, auto workers, people who are conservative in every noticeable way except for 351 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.599 one, and that is that their union. And so they support Democrats because 352 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:30.519 they're afraid Republicans are going to allow the big businessman to take away their income 353 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.480 and job and everything else. And there's the liberals who simply, you know, 354 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:40.759 they don't hate this country. They they've never met a social program. 355 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:45.480 They don't they don't like. They think the government should do a little bit, 356 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:48.480 or honestly, a lot more than it should be doing. Government's always 357 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.200 the answer. But they don't hate this country. Those folks are battling for 358 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:57.799 control of the Democrat Party. The same is happening on the Republican side. 359 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:04.160 The same is happening on the Republican side, where there are conservative constitutional folks, 360 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.519 libertarian folks, limited government folks who are fighting kind of the country clubs, 361 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.359 the rhinos, the people like the Mitch mcconald's, the Mitch mcconald's who 362 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:21.319 don't find anything wrong with the immigration bill until everything blows up in his face. 363 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.160 The Senator Langford's of the world, who's out there defending this piece of 364 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.680 legislation that was an absolute piece of garbage. And there's a lot of these, 365 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.559 the Todd Young's, my senator here in the state of Indiana, the 366 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.799 Mitt Romney's. There's a lot of them in the Senate, a whole lot 367 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.079 of them in the Senate. In fact, the vast majority of them in 368 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.960 the Senate are the rhino types, the country club types, those who think, 369 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:52.680 yeah, we're not Democrats, but we're Democrat light. We want to 370 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.279 control you, just not as much, just not as much as the left. 371 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.720 We know better than you, but we're not as bold than his brash 372 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.079 about it as these leftists. And so there's a fight for control of this 373 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.279 and Trump represents that, my friends. For the Republican side, Trump represents. 374 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:15.440 Trump represents the individual who has watched what's happened in Washington, d C. 375 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:20.240 Watched what has happened in the Republican Party for the past number of decades 376 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:27.000 and has either gotten angry or who has completely just given up, thrown up 377 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.880 his hands and said I'm done with this stuff. They're sick of the corruption. 378 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.440 They're sick of the campaigning, the promises, they're sick of the fundraising. 379 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.640 They're sick of the politics as usual. They're sick of again, all 380 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:44.000 these things they're told that are going to happen if they vote for Republicans, 381 00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:47.920 and of course none of these things ever materializing. They care about liberty, 382 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.440 They care about a government that stays out of their business, whether personal business 383 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:59.640 or their business business. If there are people who own small businesses who have 384 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:06.119 to oftentimes with all sorts of crap that comes from the government, not all 385 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.160 from the federal government, but some of it, a lot of it. 386 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:14.680 Rules and regulations, filings of things that no one can tell you about, 387 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:19.759 random fines for not meeting some deadline you had no idea about. I mean, 388 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.079 this is the list goes on and on, a sink being two inches 389 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.200 too low or too high, just silly, ridiculous stuff. They're sick of 390 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:32.640 the detail. They're sick of the fear mongering. They're sick of politicians telling 391 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:36.319 us what the sea levels are going to be in one hundred years when they 392 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:42.079 can't do the most basic thing, like say, secure our southern border. 393 00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:47.599 It makes no sense that you would vote for anybody who can't secure the border, 394 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:52.640 But yet you would trust them and take them at their word that they 395 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.039 are taking every appropriate action necessary to make sure that the sea levels don't rise 396 00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:00.400 by twenty feet in one hundred years. Thereby why being out the entire eastern 397 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:06.319 seaboard or whatever, right this does None of this make sense. They're sick 398 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:10.239 of it, they're tired of it, and so there's a battle because candidly, 399 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:15.280 my friends, the rhino types, the country club types, the moderate 400 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:20.800 types, have run the show for a long long, long time. And 401 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.719 so if they're not going to give up power easily, or if they're not 402 00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:30.360 going to cooperate with the Trump type Republicans, the conservative type Republicans, the 403 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:36.920 limited government type Republicans, the libertarian type Republicans, what does she think is 404 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.800 going to happen. It's going to be chaotic. And I say to this, 405 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.719 you got to bring the chaos on. I'm not wanting it to be 406 00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:50.400 chaotic for that sense, just for the sense of it being chaotic, but 407 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:57.840 I'm if it means that the two options are fight the establishment and the rhinos 408 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:05.320 and it'd be deemed to be year termed as chaotic, or sit back and 409 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.920 let them continue to drive this party and the country into the ground. Will 410 00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:15.000 forgive me for choosing the former. I will choose chaos over whatever you call 411 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.679 the second option every day of the week. Anyway, Gotta take a break 412 00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:30.519 with my friends, Sit, sit tight back in a minute, Welcome back 413 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.960 to my friends, you know. In another way of saying what we were 414 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:39.639 saying last at the end of last segment, Trump represents to the to the 415 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:45.920 American who is just absolutely sick, sick of what they've seen their country become, 416 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:54.119 their political system become the Republican Party become Trump represents an opportunity to change 417 00:35:54.119 --> 00:36:00.480 that for the first time in forever, in fact, maybe literally their entire 418 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:02.920 lives. Some of these folks, now you can argue and say they're wrong, 419 00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.159 You can make the case. I don't see it that way. But 420 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:16.400 from their vantage point, this candidate, the former president Donald Trump, is 421 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:24.559 the only one, the only one that has any real desire to make the 422 00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:31.679 changes that people, well, the people that follow him, the people who 423 00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:37.840 love this country and see and identify the problems that I would identify. They 424 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:43.039 look at this, They look at him and think this is an obvious choice. 425 00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.960 Like a lot of times, some of these folks would say, what's 426 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:52.000 the point in voting? Because I have Candidate A and I've got Candidate B, 427 00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.760 and they're practically the same. I don't see any difference there. They're 428 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.320 not going to make neither one of them. They might say a bunch of 429 00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:05.039 things, but I don't see any one of them doing anything about it. 430 00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:09.559 So people will just opt out versus And this is also what terrifies the left, 431 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:19.760 the media. Seven pillars of propaganda. This Trump candidacy, the opportunity 432 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:24.719 to vote for Trump creates voters that didn't the people that became voters. I 433 00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:30.599 should say the left creates voters. If I'm allowed to say that, there 434 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:38.719 actually are instances of multiple cases of like elections being rerun because of votering election 435 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:44.039 integrity issues. I'm not allowed to say that, apparently. But anyway, 436 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.760 you ever seen the comment that said, when I'm dead and gone, just 437 00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:51.400 make sure that I don't vote Democrat. I mean, there's it's funny in 438 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:55.519 a way because well, there's some truth to it. But anyhow, these 439 00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:01.119 Republican, these Trump voters, they were sitting on the sidelines, not even 440 00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:06.360 paying attention, just minding their own business, sick of how the politics had 441 00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:10.119 been run. And for the first time, now now there they they they'll 442 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:17.079 walk through proverbial fire over broken glass to vote for this guy because they see 443 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:23.599 him as really the last hope. And Nikki Haley kind of points out that 444 00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:28.199 different. She illustrates it pretty clearly. So timeouts in order, my friends 445 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:40.920 sit tight back in just a minute. Yes, I know, I know, 446 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.079 I know, the most sad and depressing time of the week for you 447 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:51.320 as we wrap up this busy broadcast week.
