WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.519 Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:08.599 not Bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.240 documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:32.280 to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff, 5 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.280 Conservative not Bitter. Indeed, my friends, I welcome to this hour of 6 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.359 the Todd Huff Show. It is my pleasure to be here with you today. 7 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:50.560 Actually, something that caught my attention as I was preparing for the program 8 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.799 today that I want to spend some time talking about. It's something that's right 9 00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:00.520 up my alley and of course reminds me of a Seinfeld. In fact, 10 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.599 I saw a little bit If there's any Seinfeld fans, I'm sure there are 11 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:10.120 Seinfeld fans out there listening in this audience, but I just saw a little 12 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:19.120 bit of background to the story of the episode where George was a marine biologist. 13 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:26.640 Now George really wasn't a marine biologist, but Jerry had told he ran 14 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.239 into a girl that had gone to high school with him and with George, 15 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.560 and she asked, what's George up to? And Jerry told her that he's 16 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.079 a marine biologist for whatever reason. And when George found out about this, 17 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.599 when Jerry told him that she may be under the impression that he was a 18 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.640 marine biologist, George didn't like that. And Jerry said, George, with 19 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.840 all due respect, I thought this would be right up your alley, and 20 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.920 George says, I know, my alleys, this is not my alli. 21 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.719 You know, you know, I always wanted to pretend to be an architect, 22 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.439 as George would say, he always wanted to be or pretend to be 23 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.240 an architect. But this here is right up my alley. This is how 24 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.680 to talk to your normy neighbor. Now I don't know about the terminology that 25 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.400 may date me a little bit. How to talk to your normy neighbor about 26 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.000 election integrity. That's the Federalist. This is a piece by Ellie Pernell or 27 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.439 L Pernell. I don't know, I know what Ellie. That spells her 28 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.280 name like this, E L L E. I would say L. Some 29 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.039 people may say that's Ellie. I don't know L pronell, Ellie pronell whatever. 30 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.599 I want to talk about this today because I think there's some some good 31 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.800 practical It's practical, right, I mean, sometimes it's nice to talk about 32 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.000 what's what you know, the issues and what's what's going on. But if 33 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.759 we don't do something with the knowledge we have to try to actually make a 34 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.159 difference, make an impact, then we are, in fact, my friends, 35 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.439 spitting into the metaphorical win. So we'll talk about this, and there's 36 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.280 other stuff stack that we'll get to as well. You can always check out 37 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.560 that stack on our website, tatavshow dot com. But before we get rolling 38 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:13.080 here today, let me remind you that health insurance premiums, according to research, 39 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.280 are supposed to increase five to eight percent in twenty twenty four. In 40 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.599 fact, you may have already felt the impact of that, and maybe you 41 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.159 don't have to, maybe there are better alternatives. Let me introduce you to 42 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.240 my friend Eric Wilson of I Sell Health. Eric has been serving clients all 43 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.039 throughout this country since two thousand and four. That's twenty years. If I've 44 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.840 got anybody that's a democratic socialist who's clearly bad at math tuning in today, 45 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.759 that's twenty years. He specializes. Eric does at individual health insurance, group 46 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.879 health insurance, Medicare, and he's here to put that knowledge, that experience 47 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.400 to work for you. He is an expert in the Affordable Care Act. 48 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:04.319 He knows the law, he understands some key some key provisions and components of 49 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.520 that. Like it or hate it, you have to we have to know 50 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.639 how to navigate this stuff. And so he understands that you are an individual 51 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.959 or that your business is should be looked at as you know, a unique 52 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.319 a unique group that says, I need to balance what I know about the 53 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.920 law, what plans are available, what the circumstances are in this particular individual 54 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:32.680 or business's health needs.

On political issues, but even more fundamentally, just just the 64 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.439 ideology that we have built these opinions on. You know, I believe that 65 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.199 what we try to do here on this program is to help people hear and 66 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.800 receive truth. And it's not that we have it all figured out, although 67 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.959 as I've said many times before, it's very understanding to me why you would 68 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.879 think that we do. But the truth is, we don't have everything figured 69 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.240 out. But when we when we land on truth, when truth is revealed 70 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.800 to us, we had better hang on to that for dear life, and 71 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.360 we had better do what we can to make sure that it is received or 72 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.519 passed along to the next generation. Right. That reminds me, as I 73 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.279 often say on here, the quote by Ronald Reagan where he says freedom is 74 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:11.680 always one generation away from extinct extinction. We do not pass along our desire 75 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.959 for freedom, our love for freedom. How we have embraced freedom in this 76 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.959 country, that does not go down the bloodstream. I guess. I guess 77 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:26.079 our desire for freedom is built into who we are, but our understanding on 78 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.439 how to maintain that freedom is not a given, and so we have to 79 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.680 pass that along to the next generation actively. This is not a passive. 80 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.040 This is not a passive thing, and in fact passivity if we're not intentionally 81 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:46.279 trying to pass along the good, the default is that the uh, the 82 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.319 bad will will fill the void. I mean, we can look at what 83 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:56.720 happened with gender in this country as a great example. We didn't fight back 84 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:05.879 quickly enough, vociferously enough, strategically enough against that trans movement. We were 85 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:12.639 completely I think caught off guard collectively, or we were so blown away the 86 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.160 first time we heard some of these things that we thought that can't possibly be 87 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.600 taken seriously, that no one seriously believes that, And now we're living with 88 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.199 the consequences of that. Now we even have and this isn't the stack of 89 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.000 stuff as well. I don't want to get into this, but I'm just 90 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.279 telling you if you want to read, if you want to read more about 91 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.800 this. But I've had this in the stack of stuff for for some time, 92 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.680 a couple of different articles past the past few weeks. But the Biden 93 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.480 administration is now bringing the gender war to your workplace. Wants to tell employers 94 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.279 that they've got to accept pronouns, they better abide by such pronouns, and 95 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:57.079 they had better have genderless bathrooms. This stuff is all coming to your place 96 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.000 of business one way, shape manner, reform as soon as the left can 97 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:09.600 move us that direction. So we know that if we don't constantly teach the 98 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.600 truth, that a lie will fill its place. There is a void, 99 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.959 and so we have to actively pass along these truths. It reminds me. 100 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:26.160 It reminds me of how God instructed the Israelites to share stories. You know, 101 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.079 as you're sitting around your dinner table, as you're going about your average 102 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:37.600 day, tell stories. Tell about the experiences, tell about the lessons. 103 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.159 Now, we've got to be better at telling. In fact, I got 104 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.279 right here on my desk. I didn't know I was going to reference this, 105 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:50.759 but I've got some story telling. What would you call this? This 106 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.399 is a little it's just a tool that helps you be better at telling stories. 107 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.840 Maybe that's something that you personally that could help you as well. But 108 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.120 we have to be better at passing that story along. We have to be 109 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:13.240 better at communicating and using those everyday moments. That's what God told the Israelites 110 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.799 to do. That's why when they cross the Jordan River they put the Ebenezer 111 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.080 stones there. And so when you're walking by on the banks of the river 112 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.840 and your kids are with you and say, Dad, what's that big pile 113 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.840 of rocks over there for? You? Say, well, son, I'm 114 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.039 glad you asked me about that. Let me tell you a story, right, 115 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.919 and we need to be better at that. And I'm going to tell 116 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:41.399 you that the left they know these things. The left is a lot of 117 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.600 things that are bad. But they're not stupid, my friends, they're not 118 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.879 stupid. They know. This is one of the reasons why they attack the 119 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.360 family. They put pressure on the family. They want to tear apart the 120 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:56.840 family. They want to make little feminists. They want to make just whatever 121 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.720 it takes, make a type of person that is resistant to the try traditional 122 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.200 American family, traditional family in general, because the more you can break that 123 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.559 up, the more the more that you can break up some of the ability 124 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.879 to do these sorts of things. I mean, broken homes aren't very good 125 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:24.679 at being able to do things like this, or or a family that is 126 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.279 under huge financial pressures where both parents have to work a lot, where kids 127 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:35.200 are involved in activities at school, and which is fun. None of these 128 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.559 things are bad in none of themselves. But when it polls the family apart 129 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.440 and when there's the you lose the ability to do some of these things just 130 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.480 because of realities. I mean, one of the reasons they like inflation. 131 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.039 They act like they don't, but one of the reasons they like it is 132 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:54.159 because it puts this country into a breaking point, breaking point financially, but 133 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.639 also at a breaking point just within the family structure, because something's got to 134 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.039 give. Everybody can't just always take on another job. Everybody can't always just 135 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:11.559 ignore a problem that needs to be addressed. It breaks the system. And 136 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.000 so people, when the system is broken, they look to the government to 137 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.320 fix it, create a new scenario. And those lovers of big government, 138 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:26.279 those radical leftists, are their ease, just gleefully rubbing their hands together and 139 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.919 telling you, boy, do we have the solution for you. We've got 140 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.279 the solution for you. We're going to make it all fair, We're going 141 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.000 to make it all right. We're going to restore these things to you. 142 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.279 Of course, in the mean meanwhile, in the process of doing that, 143 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.480 they're going to destroy They're going to destroy the heart and soul of the American 144 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.120 spirit and on those things that are true that we've built this great republic upon, 145 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.679 and so and so we have to be able to have those conversations. 146 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.080 So we have to have those conversations about ideas, but we also have to 147 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.639 have those ideas or conversations I should say, about things like election integrity. 148 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.200 And that's what this article, this piece written by Ellie Purnell of this is 149 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.759 at the Federalist dot com and she's got tips I like this. This is 150 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.559 as we're building up what we call our Inner Circle, our members only program 151 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:26.279 we're gonna have. We're gonna have webinars weekly. Webinars will all meet with 152 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.200 people who are part of the program, or we're gonna go through some of 153 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:35.200 these things. We're gonna have interactive groups. We're gonna have lessons on these 154 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.480 sorts of things to make us better, not better, make us better at 155 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:46.000 better conservatives, better at communicating, better at understanding. But it's not just 156 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.440 an academic exercise, and that's the important part. It's something that we have 157 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.519 to do something with.

You 172 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.960 don't have to be a legal expert to understand these fundamental things about what makes 173 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.159 elections free and secured. Bingo bango. That's the first thing, the very 174 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.279 first thing that I think we all need to understand is that you don't have 175 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:33.200 to be a quote unquote expert. That silences so many people right off the 176 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.960 bat. People think, I can't possibly know all the ins and outs. 177 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:45.159 I can't possibly understand everything that is going on in our election system. I've 178 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.279 never worked at the polls. I don't understand how this works, you know, 179 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.360 and I get that. But take that pressure off of you, my 180 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.399 friend. Take the pressure off because instead of looking at let me say this. 181 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.879 I learned this years ago as a young Christian, and I thought it 182 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:11.759 was a very very interesting way of putting way of describing It's a good analogy. 183 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:18.480 So I was told that. Whenever, so when you're trying to determine 184 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:24.519 what is what is say a counterfeits or what is true? So let's say 185 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.840 let's just say for the sake of argument. I know some of you in 186 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.879 this audience will dispute this, that's not the point of this. But let's 187 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:35.440 say that it is in fact, reality and absolutely true, that there is 188 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.320 a God, that it is the God. He is the God of the 189 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.879 Bible, who exists. Jesus is the way, the truth of the life, 190 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.960 the story of the Bible, is true. Right, Jesus died resurrected 191 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.759 all that for you, for me, And let's say that that is the 192 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.440 truth just for the sake of argument of some don't believe that. And I'm 193 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.919 not trying to change any minds right now. I'm just simply here to illustrate 194 00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.480 this because this is an important analogy. So if that is in fact the 195 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:07.480 truth, then the best way to know you can't possibly have an answer to 196 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.000 every single objection that somebody has, because some of them you may not have 197 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.080 heard. Now, at some point we get to the place where there are 198 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.120 no new objections and there's nothing new under the sun to be set out there, 199 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.559 but there might be different variations that maybe you haven't heard before. And 200 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.399 you can't possibly have an answer for every single objection from every single religion that's 201 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:33.320 ever existed on planet Earth. Right, that's just not realistic. And so 202 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.600 so what was taught. What was taught was to have this to understand the 203 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:45.639 truth so well that you understand anything that doesn't that doesn't fit into it. 204 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.919 And so the example was given to me of the Mounted Police in Canada. 205 00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:02.000 One of their jobs was to recognize counterfeit currency. And so these officers in 206 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:07.279 order to identify counterfeit currency, to not study all the variations of the counterfeits. 207 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:12.119 What they did was they studied the real thing. They studied the real 208 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:17.960 thing, and they understand what the real thing looks like so much that if 209 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:23.119 something that is not the real thing comes into the local currency or whatever, 210 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.839 if if someone tries to introduce it to the local economy and someone has a 211 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:33.400 question about it, and the officer sees that they will be able to identify 212 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.559 it because it is not like the real thing in some way, shape, 213 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.880 form, whatever texture. There's a way to say this doesn't match up because 214 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.319 it doesn't feel like it, or this number shouldn't look like this, or 215 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.720 there's some hologram here or whatever it is that the currency has. You don't 216 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:57.039 have to study all the variations to understand that. You have to study the 217 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.039 real thing. And so, in a in a I'm alert fashion, I 218 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:07.079 would say, instead of understanding how our system of elections, excuse me, 219 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.240 elections work, what we should first do. What we should first do is 220 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:17.720 seek to understand just really what's supposed to happen that the concept of an election, 221 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.799 and it's pretty straightforward, right. You want you want to make sure. 222 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.519 You want to make sure that you make it now. Some people disagree 223 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.319 with me a little bit on this, But you want to make it something 224 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:33.440 that is relatively easy to do. Some people want it to be harder because 225 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.000 they think it should be something that you know, you should, you should 226 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.200 really want to do. I'm not saying that to make it so easy where 227 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.960 you just like drop leaflets out of the sky. But hey, we have 228 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:47.079 an election day or whatever that looks like, you know, here's where it 229 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:48.440 is. You got to communicate it, have people know what to do. 230 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.160 And then you say they're qualifications right if there if there are some degree of 231 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.000 qualifications, and there should be, right, I mean there should be. 232 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:03.079 You shouldn't I shouldn't be able to vote in Texas or what Louisiana or California 233 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.880 or some such place. I should only be able to vote where I'm a 234 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.400 citizen. I should be able to vote one time. I shouldn't have to 235 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.200 give up my right to vote. Someone who's not me shouldn't be able to 236 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.680 vote for me. So I have to be able to determine who it is 237 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.880 that's coming in there to vote. And so that's why things like an identification 238 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.839 are a good idea. Not well to simply prove that hey, I am 239 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:33.920 this person who is permitted who has a voice in this election. I can 240 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.079 prove that I am him or that I am her for a female, and 241 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.079 you know, you go in there and then you vote right. So that's 242 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:48.079 the first step, and so anything that makes that process more secure is a 243 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.759 good thing. I've said on this program before. I've said on this program 244 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.920 before anytime. I liken it to having a business. Anytime your doors are 245 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.200 open for business, if you have a retail store, you have both the 246 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:06.400 possibility of making money, but also the possibility of, say, losing money. 247 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.680 Now you can lose money just for the sake of the analogy. So, 248 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.359 if my doors are open, I'm open for business. I have people 249 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.000 in my store. I've agreed to allow people into my store. I can 250 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.440 have people who pay me for products that they take off the shelves, or 251 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.400 people who try to put them in their purses and other things and sneak them 252 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.839 out of there and don't pay. And so I want to take steps to 253 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.079 make sure that I can allow people to come in and shop freely, while 254 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.359 at the same time present preventing the possibility as much as I can of people 255 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:42.119 breaking the rules of breaking the law. Same is true with voting, right. 256 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.480 I want to make it as easy as I can for the legitimate voter 257 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.160 to vote, while at the same time making it as hard as possible on 258 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:56.440 the people who aren't supposed to vote. These aren't complicated concepts, but get 259 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.880 we just stow the term out there voter ID and people go nuts like avid 260 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.319 animals fighting over this stuff. It's an idea, it's racist, it's whatever 261 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:08.680 else can you understand in theory why we have something like this? That conversation 262 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.759 needs to happen a lot of times. So anyway, there's more to get 263 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:18.200 into, and I've even really read her points yet, But the bottom line 264 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.279 here is that this is the sort of thing that I think practically speaking, 265 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:26.160 we all, we all should really be focused on, because practical steps to 266 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.240 make a difference are more important than just accumulating knowledge of politics and just having 267 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.960 some sort of an intellectual exercise that we engage in. So gonna take a 268 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.880 break with my friends.

You gotta take a break, we'll come back. 282 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.400 I want to continue talking about some practical things about talking with your neighbor, 283 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.640 your coworker, your family member about election integrity, hopefully without creating a massive 284 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.160 fight. That can be done, by the way, but we're going to 285 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.880 talk about this again, referencing this article at the Federalist dot com. But 286 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:03.279 sit tight, my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back, my 287 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:08.359 friends. We're talking about what I consider to be practical where the rubber meets 288 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:14.000 the road sort of thing. How to talk to your normy neighbor. I 289 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:18.920 don't know about the terms there the normy neighbor about election integrity. I don't 290 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.720 know is that new slang normy. I guess that just means an average I 291 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.799 would just say an average, everyday American. How to talk to someone who 292 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:34.480 is just, you know, just a normal person, reasonable, normal American. 293 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:41.079 How do you talk to them about election integrity? Because it's man, 294 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:47.920 these things can be rife with so many problems and pitfalls. So you don't 295 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:49.960 want this to turn into a conversation where they say, well, you're an 296 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.160 election denier, right, You don't want to get into this stuff. You 297 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.359 want to just talk about the issues in such a way that you can just 298 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:03.519 come to an agreement that hey, we just don't want and I've used this 299 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:10.839 this this picture word picture before, where you know we're so lax on voting. 300 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.480 Where someone could just drive down to the courthouse square in a local community, 301 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.720 drive around the courthouse and say, hey, it's you know, I'm 302 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.960 Bill, I'm voting for Biden or whatever. Yell it out the window and 303 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.960 they say, thanks, we're gonna take it. Take down your tally, 304 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.960 Bill, right, And so there has to be an orderly process. There 305 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.720 has to be an orderly process. There has to be some whatever the criteria 306 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.599 is, there has to be some way to make sure that the person voting 307 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:44.519 actually matches the criteria. And some people lack like this doesn't matter, but 308 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:49.599 it does. It does matter because if you do not have a way to 309 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:56.880 keep you want every legal ballot to count as to the best of your ability. 310 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.759 That should be the focus. We want every single legal ballot. I 311 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:07.720 should say that every single legal ballot to count and every single illegal ballot should 312 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.039 there be any to not count, that's what we want. That's that's it. 313 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.559 But see people will just really focus on the first half of that. 314 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.160 We want every we want every ballot to count. No, we don't want 315 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:26.319 every ballot to count. We want every legal ballot to count, which which 316 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.200 means that there could be illegal ballots. And so just like in the store 317 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.759 analogy, right, you have you have a shop at the local mall. 318 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.359 If that's even a thing anymore, you got a store, people are coming 319 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.519 in and out. You got a convenience store. Maybe people are coming in 320 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.799 and out. They're buying products. Right, they go back, they grab 321 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:49.720 a gallon of milk, or they grab whatever it is. They grab chips, 322 00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.880 or they grab I don't know, whatever they're grabbing off the store. 323 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.799 Shows, they grab a they grab a wireless headset for you know, I 324 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.799 got a headset. I got a wireless headset from I got a trucker wireless 325 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.839 headset. Because those are actually pretty good. Anyway, you get one of 326 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.440 those at a you know, you off the shelf at the truck stop, 327 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.200 and you go up and you pay for it. Right, That's that's what 328 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.640 the business wants. The business says, Hey, we got the merchandise out 329 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.039 there. We're willing to give that to anybody who has the criteria of having 330 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.880 money. And so you in order to do that, you got to bring 331 00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:27.319 it off the shelf. You got to bring it to the register. We 332 00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.839 scan it, we do whatever else we do. We exchange the money, 333 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.240 right, we exchange the money. But the crooks, my friends, and 334 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:41.799 there are crooks in everything. There are crooks every everywhere. Crooks exist everywhere 335 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:48.440 in every group of people. They agree that they and they'll target every everything 336 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.440 that they can target. That's who crooks are. They try to find the 337 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.400 easiest way to get what they want, and that could be money, that 338 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:03.000 could be you know, sometimes they want to set steal merchandise. Sometimes they 339 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.519 want to steal votes. This should not come as a shock to anybody, 340 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.960 and we don't do anybody any favors if we act like nobody wants to steal 341 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.720 votes. I mean, folks, we have speed limit signs on the road 342 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.119 and there are people that well, if we're being honest, most of us, 343 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.440 most of us do this. It's time to time we exceed the speed 344 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:29.119 limit. Some of you may not ought just leave it at that, but 345 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.880 there are people that break the speed limit. There are people that run stop 346 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.119 signs. There are people that turn right on red, even when there's a 347 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.920 sign that says no right turn on red. I mean, there no matter 348 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.799 what the rule, it will get broken, it will get tested. This 349 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.880 should not be surprising. I don't understand why we act like voting is so 350 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.480 sacred in the sense that everyone just respects it and has a reverence for it. 351 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:57.319 And man, we just got to make sure we get to the will 352 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:03.160 of people. I mean, everybody's admitted that these elections have tremendous consequences. 353 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:06.599 Are we suddenly supposed to believe that people believe that there's, you know, 354 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.559 a circumstance that their guy loses, that life as they know it on planet 355 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.799 Earth or in this country is going to change so dramatically that they don't want 356 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.680 to do anything else about it, that they're just going to accept the reality 357 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:23.000 that they lost and say golly ges shucky dern and move around, move about 358 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.839 their day. That's not in what universe? Is that realistic? Tell me 359 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.759 you know nothing about human nature without directly saying to me, you know nothing 360 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:36.680 about human nature. If that's how you believe people approach the voting booth, 361 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.000 we have people in this country who aren't even supposed to be here legally. 362 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.759 I've said this before. Why would we believe that they would cross our southern 363 00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:52.519 border illegally? But yet they have so much respect for what happens in that 364 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.720 voting booth, so much integrity to not cross that line, that they don't 365 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.440 cross the voting booth line. But yet they'll cross the southern border or the 366 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.640 northern border. It doesn't even matter to me. Why do we pretend. 367 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:10.920 Why do we embrace these silly narratives. It's ridiculous. That's not how this 368 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.000 works. And see, I haven't mentioned up to this point in this program. 369 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.880 I haven't mentioned directly. If I may have referenced it in passing, 370 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.240 but I haven't mentioned twenty twenty. I haven't mentioned two thousand mules. I'm 371 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:27.720 just talking about how elections should be managed. Because what happens is when you 372 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:30.799 talk about Trump, when you talk about twenty twenty, when you talk about 373 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:36.799 Biden, when you say the thing conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican, 374 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.640 you get an immediate visceral reaction, and the other side wants to win. 375 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.160 I saw I saw a person I don't know who it was. It was 376 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.319 somewhere on social media. They were going they were going to these quote unquote 377 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:59.200 protesters, these anti Semitic, anti American quote unquote protesters who are basically standing 378 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:06.480 up for the Palestinians and Hamas at the expense of Israeli lives. And some 379 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:14.759 of these questions that were that were asked, and just the inability of people, 380 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.279 the inability of people to acknowledge it. I saw another I saw another 381 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:26.200 guy who was asking people they were out protesting Trump, protesting Trump, and 382 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.079 he asked the question, what do you you know? Or they were saying 383 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.200 Trump is a fascist. You know, maga Republicans are fascist. You've seen 384 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:38.440 these protests. And the guy said, is it fascist to go after your 385 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.599 political opponents and to you know, charge them with crimes and go after them 386 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.319 through the legal system. And instead of saying just yes, that is a 387 00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:51.839 tactic used by the fascists, some of these people said, they immediately went 388 00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:56.359 into defensive mode, right, and so a mind that's in defensive mode mode 389 00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:00.839 is not going to be persuaded. So instead of instead and making a point 390 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.279 to show the hypocrisy, I get it. I'm not criticizing him, But 391 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.480 what I'm saying is if we want, if we want something beyond just you 392 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.680 know, to watch a video and say, man, that's appalling. Society 393 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:12.720 is going to hell in a handbasket, why can't they just admit that instead 394 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.799 of instead of that, If we really want to persuade people, why won't 395 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:22.200 we do things in a way that's most persuading. I don't understand. I 396 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.759 don't understand it. I don't Some people want the clicks. It's better to 397 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.880 live in the echo chamber. I guess I don't. It's not for me. 398 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:32.880 It's not for me. This country's in a heck of a mess. 399 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:36.079 We need to do something about it, and that includes persuading people, and 400 00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:41.839 so we better be about that business and so and so. That's why we 401 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.440 do it in such a way. You know, hey, you want your 402 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.240 vote to count. I want your vote account. I don't want anybody's vote 403 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.119 account. That shouldn't be voting, because it cancels out your vote if, 404 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.680 of course they vote in the opposite direction, or it cancels out the vote 405 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.279 of somebody else who's a legitimate voter. Why would that Surely we can agree 406 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:04.680 that that shouldn't happen. I mentioned Biden Trump, and that's important. That's 407 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:07.880 important to do, and just logically we can understand how to do this build 408 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:14.440 the case for making sure we have secure elections without saying twenty twenty was stolen 409 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.079 or whatever the case may be. Right, So, anyway more to say 410 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:21.240 on this Again, I'm referencing an article that's in the stack of stuff, 411 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.240 but it's written at the Federalist dot com. Again, the title here is, 412 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.640 where are we how to talk to your normy neighbor about Election Integrity, 413 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:34.599 written by Ellie pernell. I find these things fascinating and highly practical, and 414 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.720 these are the sorts of things that are gonna have to be done in mass 415 00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:40.880 to actually make a difference in our society for the good. But let me 416 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:44.839 remind you as we get to the break, my friends, that we are 417 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:51.119 in the midst of the twenty five dollars extravaganza at My Pillow. They've lost 418 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.920 the support of their box stores, they've lost their shopping channels. And it 419 00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:57.920 wasn't because their products aren't good. That's not the case. No, no, 420 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:01.039 no, it's because they've been arged by the cancel culture. People did 421 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:05.519 not like we've been talking about election integrity. They don't like that Mike Lindell's 422 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.839 out there talking about things pertaining to election integrity, and so they've shut him 423 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:15.119 down, shut down his business from their box stores, from their shopping channels. 424 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:22.440 And so My Pillow is focusing more on direct the direct ability for consumers 425 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.359 to purchase and order things directly from them. So they've come up with this 426 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:31.319 twenty five dollars extravaganza. They've got several products that fall within this extravaganza. 427 00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.920 Sale you can go to my pillow dot com slash Todd to check out those 428 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:38.640 items, or if you prefer, you can call eight hundred and five four 429 00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:43.079 four eight nine three nine.

Timeouts in order. My friends, here, as we 432 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.839 prepare for the last segment of the hour, sit tight. You're listening to 433 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:57.359 conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, the one, the only, 434 00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:15.639 the ever so beloved Todd huff back in just a minute. We'll come 435 00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:21.079 back, my friends. So let's look specifically at some of the things, 436 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:28.320 some of the pointers that Ellie has here in her article regarding election integrity. 437 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.239 I've shared my thoughts. I'll continue to do that. By the way, 438 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:38.039 she says, first, chaos is bad. Confusion creates opportunities for both intentional 439 00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:43.519 and unintentional wrongdoing. This reminds me again, I gotta pause this article. 440 00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:49.360 There wasn't a report or a poll. There was a poll recently done for 441 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:55.000 people who had voted via mail in ballots. I just saw this. It 442 00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.320 was this week. It's in I think it's in one of this one of 443 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:05.320 this week's stack of stuff you know list of articles the poll found. The 444 00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:12.840 poll found that one in five Americans admitted admitted to doing something wrong or illegal 445 00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.760 in the voting process. Doesn't mean it was intentional. It could have been 446 00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:22.480 completely unintentional. And so to her point here, she says, lacks policies 447 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:28.320 that make it more likely affect election officials don't know who a voter is, 448 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.119 where he lives, whether he is eligible to vote, or whether he already 449 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:38.079 has voted. Invite chaos and undermine order. Obviously massive, massive problem there, 450 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:45.119 illegitimate votes, she says, cancel out legal votes. That's obvious to 451 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.800 those of us who think about that. I'm not criticizing her article, but 452 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:52.239 some people don't stop to think about this. When you say election integer, 453 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:58.400 they election integrity. They immediately flash to Donald Trump psychologically in their brains, 454 00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:04.480 and then they immediately fall into regurgitating the narrative, which as Trump tried to 455 00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:12.039 overthrow the election result of twenty twenty and steal the election. When look that 456 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:20.000 is, oh boy, that's whatever happened there. We can't prevent that from 457 00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:23.760 happening in twenty twenty. What we can do is to prevent whatever happened or 458 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:28.639 didn't happen for those who just don't want to the fine, we can make 459 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:37.280 sure that whatever scenario people believe happened is impossible or very unlikely to happen. 460 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:44.639 Put we can do things after learning about what happened in twenty twenty, even 461 00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.360 if you don't believe that there were questionable things. And this is where I 462 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:52.000 would bring in two thousand mules. If that sort of thing doesn't bother you, 463 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.679 if you don't find a problem with that, then at least I would 464 00:36:54.760 --> 00:37:00.880 think I would hope you would want to create a scenario where people at least 465 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:09.199 trusted the results of their election and believed that Biden was elected justifiably legally by 466 00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.920 the American by the American voter. I think that you would want that. 467 00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:19.800 Maybe not. She also says here, if someone's vote is going to cancel 468 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.000 out yours, he should verify he is eligible to vote. I mean, 469 00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:28.239 yes, that's true as well. No one else should be responsible for your 470 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.519 act of self governance. She writes here, there was a time when voters 471 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:36.920 went to their polling place on election day, received a ballot, filled it 472 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.760 out with the pen, and turned it in. These voters didn't worry about 473 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.400 that their ballots might get lost or stolen, or delayed in the mail, 474 00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.719 or rejected for missing a signature or a date. They didn't worry about a 475 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:54.280 ballot in their name that they never requested, automatically sent to whatever new resident 476 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:59.239 might now live at their old address. They didn't entrust their ballots to political 477 00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:04.480 operatives who go house to house and collect voters ballots on by the bundle. 478 00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:08.760 This process also requires voters to take some kind of responsibility. And she's right 479 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.079 again. We want to make it as easy to vote as possible, but 480 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.159 we don't want to just make it like, hey, here's an email, 481 00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:20.719 click here if you want to vote for Biden. You know that that's you 482 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:25.320 have to take responsibility to participate. And that's what she's saying here. You 483 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.920 know, we have to be responsible enough to say, hey, I have 484 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:35.119 a responsibility. I want to participate in this idea of America. Right, 485 00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.280 I want to participate, but and it should be as easy as possible for 486 00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:43.599 me to participate. But it shouldn't be done for me. You had to 487 00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:45.880 be invested, she said, enough to that you remember to vote and go 488 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:51.280 to the polls, or requested an absentee ballot. You might even have had 489 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:54.800 to register to vote instead of being registered automatically. Voting was more of an 490 00:38:54.840 --> 00:39:00.480 intentional affair than filling out a customer service on your phone. Of course, 491 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:05.280 some voters will be out of town on election day and need an absentive of 492 00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:10.000 at ballot, and some may have physical restrictions that keep them from heading to 493 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:14.960 their polling place. There's nothing wrong with the laws accommodating these exceptions. But 494 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:20.199 when voting, the voting system makes third parties more responsible for casting, for 495 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:25.119 the casting of your ballot than you are. It cheapens your participation in self 496 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:30.960 governance. So, in other words, if you can't go to vote, 497 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:36.239 and it's not an irrational or illogical thing to say, make accommodations to get 498 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.360 an absentee ballot instead of saying, hey, because because this person can't vote, 499 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:44.079 vote, let's dump ballots into the mailstream. Right, that doesn't make 500 00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:50.159 any sense. That's not how we would deal with any sort of That's not 501 00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.519 how adults would deal with any problems candidly, if they wanted to act like 502 00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:59.800 adults anyway.
