WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.799 Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff radio show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:09.039 not Bitter talk radio. The advice that the content of this program has been 3 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.759 documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:33.560 to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.520 All right, my friends, there are three things that I want to make 6 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.799 sure that I get to today, time permitting, and in no particular order. 7 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:51.560 Three things I want to get to today include Jenna Ellis's profer, which 8 00:00:51.799 --> 00:01:06.000 is basically basically a recording. Well a is a arrangement. Remember she had 9 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.959 a plea deal, and as part of that plea deal, she would be 10 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:19.000 testifying potentially or maybe definitely against President Trump or be called to the witness stand 11 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.439 in this in the case one of the cases against Trump, excuse me against 12 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.640 Trump, that was recorded, I've not to my knowledge, and I'm not 13 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.680 a lawyer, but I don't is it common for these things to be released. 14 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.519 I've never seen that before. But we'll talk about we'll talk about that. 15 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:46.319 We'll also talk about the left's reaction, their faux outrage to Trump's comments 16 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:53.280 about the left. The radical left behaving like Vermin, which we'll get to 17 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.239 that, and then time permitting again, I can't promise. This is my 18 00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:02.359 intent as we launch into a broadcast day here behind the microphone. The third 19 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:09.400 day I want to get to is Randy Whitegarden, president of Teacher a Teachers 20 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.879 Union. She's confused. She has an again, time permitting will get more 21 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.319 into this if nothing else is that it will be in the stack of stuff 22 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:25.080 Toddefshow dot com. But she's confused about why home schooling is appealing to more 23 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.400 and more people in this country. Of course, you know why homeschool is 24 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:36.639 appealing, and I want to talk about that today. Time permitting These things 25 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.639 are going to take time. I don't know if I can get to all 26 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.400 of them. I will do my best. Email Todd at Toddhoffshow dot com. 27 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.960 Should you want to be part of that discussion or three one seven, 28 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.520 two one zero twenty eight thirty thoughts, questions, feedback? Yes, yes, 29 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.599 yes, always include that adoration and praise messaging. Data rates can apply 30 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:00.800 on that text messaging depending upon your carrier. So let us begin where do 31 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.080 I want to begin? Where do I want to begin today? Do I 32 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.680 want to talk about? You know what I want to talk about Trump first. 33 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:15.479 I want to talk about Trump and this, well, his comments about 34 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:22.680 the left being like Vermin. Okay, so here we have it queued up. 35 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.199 You know, I got to check. You know that I've had problems 36 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.919 with the sound bites. I've had this thing cued up. But every time 37 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.240 I go to check, you know, how it goes, it drops. 38 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.719 I don't know what happens some of the times it drops. Anyway, I 39 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:43.120 just listened to it. So this is Trump giving a speech. Behind him, 40 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:49.400 you see supporters holding up signs that say things like Trump twenty twenty four 41 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.479 and peace through strength I'm seeing here. If there's anything else, yeah, 42 00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.039 of course there's text Trump and all that stuff to join, to donate, 43 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.000 to volunteer, whatever else. But he's speaking to a large crowd, as 44 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:12.560 Trump typically does, and he makes these comments. By the way, the 45 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.800 left wants the Republican Party to come out and condemn these comments. So I 46 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.480 want to play this clip. It's about thirty seconds, and we're going to 47 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.480 discuss this. Here's Trump speaking to one of his rallies here, and he 48 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:34.360 uses the phrase like Vermin when referencing the radical left. Here it is he 49 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:42.160 pledged to you that we will root out the communists, Marxist fascists, and 50 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.480 the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, 51 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:53.639 that lie and steal and cheat on elections and will do anything possible. They'll 52 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:59.000 do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the 53 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.680 American dream. Okay, so there you go. That's the clip, that's 54 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.199 the reference. This of course has the left. I think they believe this 55 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:17.480 is the basket of deplorable's moment for President Trump. So they are of course 56 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:26.319 fired up about this. They believe it. They believe that this is a 57 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.040 crime against humanity. I guess that Trump would use this particular phrase. But 58 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.079 let's understand what Trump is talking about, you know, and this will come 59 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.040 up when we talk about Jenna Ellis's I say testimony. It's just what she 60 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.240 told the prosecution during her profit. I guess it's technically not testimony yet I 61 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.199 don't again, not illegal here, not a legal scholar. But anyway, 62 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.720 so this is gonna come up again. I think a lot of these things 63 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.759 can be explained, a lot of these things can be understood if we simply 64 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:11.199 came to the reality, accepted the reality that there are two competing viewpoints. 65 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.680 You could say narratives, but there are two distinct camps. I guess you 66 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:21.279 could say when we look at Trump in general, when we look at the 67 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:30.879 MAGA Republicans in general, when we look at politics really in general, there's 68 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:36.519 two general camps here, particularly when Trump is involved, and those two camps 69 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.600 are as follows one of them. One of the camps believes that Trump is 70 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:50.000 an existential threat to American They'll say democracy, our constitutional republic, our freedoms. 71 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.279 They believe that this man Trump is a narcissist authoritarian, He's a fascist. 72 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.240 They believe, they think that he is true. They think he's the 73 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:06.519 greatest threat to the United States of America that's ever breathed. I mean, 74 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.879 I suppose, I let's say domestically, I suppose they would understand and come 75 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:17.279 to the realization that we faced real threats throughout the history of the world, 76 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.079 during the Cold War, during World War Two with Hitler and the Japanese attack 77 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.959 of Pearl Harbor, which of course they want to compare to January sixth than 78 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.639 all that. But I think domestically they would say, throughout history, there 79 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.759 has never been The left would say the Democrats would say, the media would 80 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.079 say, the seven pillars of propaganda would say, there's never been a more 81 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.160 dangerous president in the history of this country. They think his existence, his 82 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:55.720 basic existence, is a threat to freedom, is a threat. Well I 83 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.600 don't. They don't say, you notice that by the way, they talk 84 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.600 about saving our democracy, which, of course, my friends, there is 85 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.560 a democratic aspect to living in our constitutional republic. The right to self governance 86 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.079 is absolutely there. But we live in a republic, and this matters. 87 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:22.680 A constitutional republic, this matters tremendously. This matters tremendously because a democracy is 88 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.720 simply the rule of the majority, which we have a form of that. 89 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.959 But we don't have a pure democracy. We have a constitutional republic that says, 90 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.080 yes, we want to give the will of the people a means by 91 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.639 which they can make governing decisions for their country by I guess, through extension 92 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.919 of their elected representatives. This is not a director of democracy. Everything doesn't 93 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:54.000 go to the people to vote. But we do have elected representatives who are 94 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.120 responsible for creating legislation in this country, creating law in this country. But 95 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.240 in addition to that, it's not simply that the majority rules. That's important. 96 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.519 I'm not minimizing that. But there's also a component that's lost in all 97 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:16.360 of this, and that's the component of the individual liberty. The liberty of 98 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.000 the individual, the individual's right to choose to live his or her life as 99 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.720 he or she decides, so long as those choices do not directly impact or 100 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:35.720 cause a direct direct harm to someone else's life. Liberty, property, pursuit 101 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.080 of happiness, and that is often lost anyway. But as we look at 102 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.360 this, and as we look at the character of Trump, the politician, 103 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.440 Trump, the Trump movement, Make America a Great Again movement, the MAGA 104 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.240 movement, when we look at this, there's a group of people that say, 105 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.200 this is dangerous, this is authoritarian, this is fascist. Now, 106 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.600 of course, none of that. That is not true. You know, 107 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.080 we Trump is Trump is not a fascist. You know, some of the 108 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:11.399 things fascists don't do. Fascists, for example, when Trump was president, 109 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.399 Trump cut taxes. This is not something that fascists set about to do. 110 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:22.600 Fascist, my friends, is one form of a lover of that that a 111 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.240 lover of big government can take. Fascism says government, big individual, small 112 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.799 right, That's what and that's what communism says too. They just have different 113 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.360 a different ideology, but a lot of it comes out to be the same 114 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.120 thing because it's government force over the will and the liberty and the freedom of 115 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.080 the individual. So they say Trump is a fascist, which is ridiculous. 116 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.360 Trump. Fascists don't cut taxes. Fascists do not reduce regulations. Remember Trump, 117 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.360 for every new regulation created in the bureaucratic state, they had to eliminate 118 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:09.320 and think it was two, So they eliminated a lot of bureaucratic rules. 119 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:16.000 That's not what fascists do. Fascists also don't try to be proponents of religious 120 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.080 liberty, of free speech and those sorts of things. Anyway, this is 121 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.159 what the left and people in this camp believe. They believe Trump is dangerous, 122 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.440 he's a threat to society. He has to be stopped at all costs. 123 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.399 The other group, the other group. There's maybe an A and a 124 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.919 B of this group. There's one group that loves Trump, one group, 125 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.240 one part of that group that's dedicated to Trump. One part of this group 126 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.639 that's just the pro Trump side, not the side that thinks he's an existential 127 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.720 threat to the United States of America and to this nation and to the world. 128 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.120 As we know it. But within that there's kind of a subgroup. 129 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.879 There's those that love him and those that say it's not so much necessarily about 130 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.080 his personality and all that, it's really about what he's doing. We've been 131 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:16.600 fighting against this massive, bloated bureaucratic machine, this consistent march towards big government 132 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.840 for a long time, and they say, this guy actually the Instead of 133 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.240 Trump posing the threat to the American people, instead of Trump posing a threat 134 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:35.600 to the sank the sanity of the world, Trump poses instead a threat to 135 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.480 the lovers of big government. Trump poses a threat to those who are part 136 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.799 of the swamp, that are part of the bureaucratic machine, that are part 137 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:54.080 of the mechanism, that are part of the machine that actually is the greatest 138 00:12:54.159 --> 00:13:01.519 risk domestically to our freedom. And so when you have these two sides, 139 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.679 one one side says Trump is to be feared at all costs. The other 140 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.720 side says that we need to see more of what Trump is doing. Now, 141 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.000 you again have some that love his style and personality and others that say, 142 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.879 we don't necessarily care about the style or the personality. We dislike the 143 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:28.600 movement that is trying to restore America back to some of her founding principles, 144 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.879 and a lot of a lot a lot of how we view things, a 145 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.360 lot of the the when we look at Jenna Ellis's profer, for example, 146 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:46.720 when we look at well, when we look at really anything pretending to the 147 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.399 election, election integrity, the decisions that the Trump team made and all that, 148 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.480 the arguments that have been made about that, and so forth, a 149 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.320 lot of it just simply stems from whether or not we fear Trump and his 150 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.679 threat to us, or whether we say that Trump should cause fear. Not 151 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:11.000 not in some you know, draconian sense, but he should cause fear in 152 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.720 the lovers and the hearts and the minds of the lovers of big government. 153 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.039 Those are the folks that should really be afraid of him. That's that, 154 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.120 by the way, is my viewpoint. Trump doesn't pose a threat to me 155 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:26.279 or to free citizens, free people. Trump poses a threat to the machine. 156 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.799 Trumps poses a threat to the swamp, and so but a lot of 157 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:39.399 a lot of our perspective is predicated upon which of those general camps that we 158 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.240 fall into. So timeouts in order I want to play this, like vermin 159 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.600 Well, I mentioned that I want to talk more specifically about the like vermin 160 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:54.840 comment now, because that is I think again which bucket we fall into explains 161 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.399 how we view those comments, right, So anyway, I just wish, 162 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.639 you know, I think for those of us that if you're in the general 163 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.679 bucket of that I'm in, and you believe that Trump isn't so much of 164 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.279 a threat to you, as you believe that Trump is a threat to the 165 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.039 government, to the establishment, to the swamp, and you think that's a 166 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.080 good sort of threat, we need to, I think be more mindful of 167 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.919 how people who are in that other bucket, because some of them are sold 168 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.279 out. They're not going to change. They have drank the kool aid, 169 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.519 they have completely abandoned any sort of desire to be reasonable on the issue of 170 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.440 Trump. But there are still some in there that have just been deceived for 171 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:43.200 so long that I don't think they I think sometimes if we would know how 172 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.000 to communicate a little bit better, and it might be a small sliver of 173 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:52.480 that overapp group, small percentage of the larger group, I think there are 174 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.559 people that would at least listen. I've encountered them. I believe you have 175 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.000 as well. And again, the radical wing of the Democrat Party. The 176 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:06.720 Radical Left is a is a very fringe group. They are loud, they 177 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.919 are proud, they are violent. They often control the levers of powers. 178 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.200 We've talked about the seven pillars of propaganda, which I think is important to 179 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:22.440 understand. But they amplify their voice and they silence or at least dampen, 180 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:29.879 dampen the sound waves coming from the mouths of those in the larger group, 181 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.519 which is the group that we're in, and it affects the overall perception of 182 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:40.080 reality. But the truth is the truth is that most people, most people 183 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.879 agree with our ideas. Sometimes we just have to focus more on how we 184 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.159 communicate those So that's what I kind of want to do this morning as I 185 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.519 talk about this. So we'll get back to the like Vermin comments on the 186 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.519 other side of the break, we'll get the Jenna Ellis in time permitting, 187 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:59.000 we'll get to the teachers' union that is confused about why people want to homeschool. 188 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.519 So timeouts in order, my friends, sit tight back in just a 189 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:18.039 minute, folks. This is ridiculous headline here. I just found this during 190 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.440 the break. I had not seen this. Trump goes full Hitler. This 191 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.519 is a headline. This is a headline. This is exactly what I mean. 192 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.039 Trump goes full Hitler by calling political foes vermin. I'm gonna read just 193 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.519 a bit of this. Since the twenty sixteen presidential campaign, the question of 194 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.599 whether it's appropriate to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler has come up repeatedly. 195 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.599 Yeah, by the clowns and the jokers in the media. This. I 196 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:56.880 cannot the stupidity of this stuff. It's just they really believe that. They 197 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.839 don't that's a thing they don't. I think some of them might believe that 198 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.880 what they're saying is true. I don't know, but I think some of 199 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.079 them. It's all about the impact. It's all about the impact. Yeah, 200 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.759 you know what, Fine, we will, the media would say, 201 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.920 we will acknowledge that everyone doesn't agree that we can compare Trump to Hitler. 202 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.319 But we're having the discussion because you've never seen a thing like this guy, 203 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:25.160 and you should be terrified of him. This is the greatest existential threat this. 204 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.759 As I said last segment, right, there's a group of people a 205 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.279 bucket. I don't mean that as some we're both in buckets. I like 206 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.039 to think like that we're in group A or group B. I'm in a 207 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:41.160 bucket that says Trump's The threat isn't what Trump poses to us. The threat 208 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:47.519 is what Trump poses to the establishment. That's the threat. That's the genesis 209 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.880 of all of these articles and comparisons. But here, this stupid article continues. 210 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:57.519 Trump has used the slogan popularized by Nazi sympathizers, dined with anti semites, 211 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:04.359 evoked white supremacist tropes, and demonized the press and his political foes as 212 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.119 quote enemy of the people. To cite just a few examples of his allegedly 213 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.359 Nazi life behavior, that is a heck of a sentence, my friends. 214 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:21.359 Plus days before the Capitol riot, the nation's top general Mark Millie reportedly warned 215 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:27.200 aids that America was facing a Reichstag moment because Trump was preaching the gospel of 216 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:33.839 the furor with the stoll And election lies. What is this is this parody? 217 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:40.640 Is this satire? What on earth? New yorkmag dot com. This 218 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.920 will be in the stack of stuff anyway. I'm gonna go back. I'm 219 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:48.319 gonna go back, and I'm going to I'm gonna play again. I'm gonna 220 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:53.880 play again Trump's comments here in a second, I'm gonna play what they're getting 221 00:19:53.960 --> 00:20:00.440 so worked up about and again the proverbial bucket here that you're in. If 222 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:04.880 you're in the group that says Trump is the greatest threat to the United States 223 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:11.079 and the history of the world. If you think that January sixth was basically 224 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.799 the same thing as Pearl Harbor Day or nine to eleven, then you're gonna 225 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:22.400 think that these comments are like the furor oh gosh, I just can't this 226 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.880 is not serious. This is so bizarre and out of control. But nonetheless, 227 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.920 this is where we are in twenty twenty three. We're not even in 228 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.279 technically we're within a year of the election, but we're not in the election 229 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.680 year yet. Wait, just wait, this is nothing. You had better 230 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.920 I had better buckle up for what we're about to witness here, because when 231 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.799 I was telling I was during the break. When you see articles like this, 232 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:55.920 they they the media, right, they the large capital M media have 233 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.839 acknowledged Trump's the guy. They've acknowledged it. This is accepting it. This, 234 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:07.440 this is this is step two in the process. So the attempts to 235 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.279 get him in the legal system, I mean, they've basically given up hope 236 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:18.920 on that. They have They have gotten all every ounce of political revenue that 237 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.519 they can squeeze out of that. And now they have to go back to 238 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.880 what they did in twenty sixteen, which is this is the same thing. 239 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.160 They know they can't get people to rally behind their guy because their guy is 240 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:41.240 an absolutely atrocious candidate. So the next logical thing is to get people to 241 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.519 fear the other guy. And just think about how far they've had to take. 242 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:52.640 They have to literally in headlines right, headlines that say Trump goes full 243 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.759 Hitler. Anyway, here's here's Trump again. These are the these are the 244 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:04.279 words that they say make tru full a full Hitler. Here it is he 245 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:11.079 planned to you that we will root out the communists, Marxist fascists, and 246 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:17.440 the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, 247 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.599 that lie and steal and cheat on elections and will do anything possible. They'll 248 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.920 do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the 249 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.920 American dream. Okay, now, I know that the left and the media 250 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:45.160 reject his narrative there. That's fine, it's their prerogative. But but the 251 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:52.720 people Trump is describing here are people who are actively at war with this nation. 252 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.440 These are people Remember when you take an oath to office, you swear 253 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:03.279 to protect this constant against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That is your 254 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:11.319 oath. You pledge to protect that constitution at all costs. And my friends, 255 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.960 the people that Trump describe there, the radical left, the communists, 256 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.440 the Marxists, the fascists, whatever other group he defined there, I don't 257 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.480 have it written out. I don't have the script in front of me, 258 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:29.960 although I've got it somewhere around here. Those groups of people are by definition 259 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.599 at war with freedom loving Americans, with the Constitution of the United States. 260 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:41.680 They hate this nation as founded. They want to destroy this nation's founding and 261 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:48.200 remake it into something that suits their political ideology much better, which is not 262 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.319 freedom and liberty, which is not the Constitution. They by definition are at 263 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.680 war. And I've said it's been a cold civil war. There have been 264 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.960 skirmishes, don't misunderstand me. There have been a unfortunately violent skirmishers, But 265 00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:07.400 we are largely still in a cold civil war where we are fighting for an 266 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.599 ideology and a worldview, and like it or not, those that love freedom, 267 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.839 those who revere the Constitution, we are going to have to defend it. 268 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.599 And is it wrong the definition here. I looked up vermin. This 269 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.400 is something that US folks out in the country, and this is something I 270 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.279 mean, we say these things from time to time, the vermin. But 271 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.839 the definition is wild animals that are believed to be harmful to crops, farm 272 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:38.279 animals or game, or that carry disease. And so the idea that's trying 273 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:45.400 to be communicated here is that the vermin are a danger not to the farm 274 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:51.279 land here, but to the to the Constitution, to our society, to 275 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:56.000 our civilization. They aren't war with I mean, they are at war with 276 00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:02.079 it. They are trying to destroy it. We have witnessed this, especially 277 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.559 in recent years. We've seen these folks. We've seen Antifa, We've seen 278 00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:17.000 the right of the violent rioters of the Black Lives Matter movement. We've seen 279 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:26.839 other groups right that pose an existential threat to law and order and to justice. 280 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:32.640 And Trump is saying that the people leading those movements are like vermin. 281 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:40.240 Now, I think, you know, political discussions. You have to be 282 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:44.279 able to protect political speech so that people can make points. These are very 283 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:52.240 very valuable, the very very important conversations that we have. And Trump's not 284 00:25:52.680 --> 00:26:02.880 Trump's not calling average American citizens vermin Trump is saying. And you can disagree 285 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.920 with this, you can say that it's too far. But meanwhile, remember 286 00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:12.160 this, Trump's sister just passed away, just passed away on Monday, and 287 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:18.799 something that was trending on Twitter was wrong Trump again. Anytime someone related to 288 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.960 Trump dies, people start tweeting from the hashtag wrong Trump, meaning why didn't 289 00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.240 the Grim Reaper? Which whatever you think of that, but this is the 290 00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:32.079 thinking of the radical left. The grim Reaper made a mistake. He got 291 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:40.839 the wrong Trump again. So they're they're literally begging for Trump to die. 292 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.720 But yet at the same time, they have a problem with him describing people 293 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:55.160 who are putting that are harmful to our constitution's existence. They have a problem 294 00:26:55.240 --> 00:27:00.880 with him referring to that as vermin. And maybe you do too, but 295 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.480 I do think that that's like the pot calling the kettle black in this instance 296 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:10.359 when they're calling for Trump's death. Anyway, timeout is in order, quick 297 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:12.160 time out. I want to talk a little bit about Jenna Ellis in this 298 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:22.880 proffer this bit of testimony if you will, that she is basically recorded as 299 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:30.759 saying and talking about Trump's plans allegedly to not leave the White House after after 300 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.720 losing the twenty twenty election timeouts in order to My Friends sits tight back in 301 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:45.680 just a minute. Welcome back to My Friends. If you've listened to this 302 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.240 program for any time, which you know earlier this week, I told you 303 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:55.480 we celebrated our two thousand and eighth two thousand and eighth episode, because I 304 00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:00.240 somehow I'm blaming the data. I'm blaming the data because I looked careful at 305 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.720 this. It was actually probably would have been last week or the end of 306 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.519 the previous week that we would have hit our two thousandth episode. Anyway, 307 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:11.440 But if you've been listening for two thousand and ten episodes now, or if 308 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.440 you've been listening even for a few dozen, you know that we have partnered 309 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:23.039 with My Pillow.

So I mentioned before the break that I want to shift 319 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.079 gears here this segment, and I want to talk about I want to talk 320 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:26.359 about Jenna Ellis. And you'll remember Jenna Ellis was one of Trump's attorneys. 321 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:34.880 Jenna Ellis pled guilty in the Georgia trial. She pled guilty. As part 322 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:41.599 of that guilty plea, she had to be available to testify against Trump. 323 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:48.440 And so they have this thing called a profit which is really, you know, 324 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:56.319 kind of the arrangements of just the whole details of what that arrangement is 325 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:03.519 between this particular defendant and the sort of testimony that she would be able to 326 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.880 provide. Now this thing has been released. This thing has been released. 327 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.519 I have never to my knowledge, and I again I'm not a lawyer, 328 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.640 but to my knowledge, I've never seen one of these released. But again, 329 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.200 it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter when it's Trump. It doesn't matter 330 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:23.960 what law is broken, it doesn't matter what department of the government is weaponized. 331 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.400 None of that matters to the media, to the left, to half 332 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:32.960 of this country. What matters is that they can get Trump. And again 333 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.880 they're feeding off of that extreme hatred. The same hatred, by the way, 334 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:42.759 that when someone in Trump's family dies starts causing people, motivating people to 335 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:48.200 tweet with the hashtag wrong Trump, which I referenced last segment. In fact, 336 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.799 I sent out some of those tweets. I got some of those, 337 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.319 and I'm gonna tweet out if i haven't already. I don't. I go 338 00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.319 through a bunch of stuff every day, but went through a lot of those. 339 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.960 A lot of folks tweeting wrong Trump died, so they're cheering for Trump 340 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.480 to die. So obviously, whatever happens, I've told you before, I'll 341 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:15.680 say it again, this is the Seinfeld, the siin Feld strategy. Seinfeld 342 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:22.480 Jerry Seinfeld, in his sitcom back in the nineties, had an arch nemesis 343 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:27.480 named Newman Newman. Every time Jerry would run into Newman, he would say, 344 00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:33.160 Newman. You know, if you've watched the show, Jerry did not 345 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:38.839 like Newman. They were arch enemies. He was the nemesis of Jerry. 346 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:47.079 And so Newman was going to take a role, a position in Hawaii, 347 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:51.480 and Jerry wanted to help him get that, and so Jerry told Newman. 348 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:56.680 And this is the Seinfeld strategy being employed by the media and the seven pillars 349 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:01.359 of propaganda against Donald J. Trump. And here it is. They will 350 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.039 do whatever it takes for as long as it takes them, So long as 351 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:14.440 it takes Trump away from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, which is the White House. 352 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:16.640 As long as it takes Trump out of the White House, the ends 353 00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:22.240 justify the means. It doesn't matter how they get there. They don't care 354 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.640 if he's in an orange jumpsuit again not to be confused with Hillary Clinton's orange 355 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.599 pantsuit. It doesn't matter if he is just taken out of the primary. 356 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:36.440 It doesn't matter if he was, you know, impeached, impeachment one, 357 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.799 impeachment two. It didn't matter if they could take him down in the Russian 358 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:43.880 collusion delusion. None of this mattered. It's whatever it takes. Can they 359 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.839 hurt his fundraisers, can they get him, Can they get the Republican Party 360 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.839 to turn against him. Can they get a third party candidate to come in 361 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:57.240 whatever, They do not care as long ass it keeps Trump out of the 362 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.799 White House. So they're employing this strap. And so if you have to 363 00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:06.119 release video like this that I've never seen released before, again, maybe it 364 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:12.319 has been I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area to say with certainty, but 365 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.720 it definitely is not normal. So I don't see these things on a regular 366 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.839 basis anyway. So I want to play that after the break. I want 367 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:21.720 to play what she says, and I want to see, well, I 368 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.359 want you to hear some folks are going to be bothered by this. Some 369 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.200 folks are not going to be bothered by this. Some folks might be bothered 370 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:30.039 a little, some not at all. Whatever, I want to play this 371 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.680 and talk about that in the time we have remaining here on the program. 372 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:36.960 But it is time for me to take a time out. My friends, 373 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:42.079 sit tight back in just a minute, all right, welcome back. My 374 00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.680 excuse me, my friends. I've been finding something on the vocals. I 375 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.640 thought I was good until that hit me out of nowhere. So here is 376 00:33:51.279 --> 00:34:02.640 video of Jenna Ellis talking with prosecutors in Trump's trial in Georgia. I want 377 00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:09.159 you to listen to what she tells them. This is about a minute about 378 00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:15.599 a minute long, So hang in there and listen to this, which eventually 379 00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:23.639 could be testimony before the court. Here it is and at the time a 380 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:29.280 period where they were going to start to discuss what was Dan Scapino's role at 381 00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:34.039 the time. I believe his title was social Media director for the White House. 382 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:38.039 It became deputy chief of staff at the time that the conversation in question 383 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:43.119 took place. Okay, when was that. The conversation was or in December 384 00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:47.039 nineteenth of twenty twenty at the White House Christmas party, and I emphasized him 385 00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:54.920 I thought that the claims and the ability to challenge the election results was essentially 386 00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:59.400 over because he said to me, in a kind of excited tone, well, 387 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:01.159 we don't care here and we're not going to leave. And I said, 388 00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:05.800 what do you mean and he said, well, the Boss meaning President 389 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:09.800 Trump and everyone understood the Boss, that's what we all called him. He 390 00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:14.639 said, the Boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are 391 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:16.280 just going to stay in power. And I said, nim, well it 392 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:20.119 doesn't quite work that way, you realize, And he said, we don't 393 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:30.440 care. Okay. So Jenna Ellis back in December of twenty and twenty was 394 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:34.360 at a Christmas party at the White House, was talking with Dan Scavino, 395 00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:43.840 and he was talking about, well, the challenging of the election results. 396 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:51.519 And she says, and this profer that she is, that the time for 397 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.480 challenging the election was really over. Nothing they could do at that point, 398 00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.079 to which mister Scavino said, well, the big guy. Sorry, that's 399 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.320 not the big guy. That's the boss, Remember the big guy. That's 400 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.440 why I wanted to bring this up. By the way, the big guy 401 00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:13.800 in the Hunter Biden scandal is unequivocally Joe Biden. So she says Trump was 402 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.400 known as the boss, the boss man here. Scavino told her, says, 403 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.000 there's no way that we're leaving the White House. No, under any 404 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.639 circumstances. We're just gonna stay here. We're not gonna leave. Now. 405 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:28.639 You gotta go back in time. And if you're just tuning in, I 406 00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:30.760 don't have time to go through this. But earlier in the program, I 407 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.239 talked about two groups of people. Right, there's a group of people that 408 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:38.159 hate Trump, who believe that Trump poses the single greatest risk to this country. 409 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:43.679 Ever, he's in existential threats. They're cheering for his death. I 410 00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:49.039 mean, there's people that maybe don't cheer for his death, that just want 411 00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.840 him out of politics, but there's a big chunk that won him at least 412 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.199 in prison. They want him to feel pain, some even want him to 413 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.960 die. But they view him as an existential threat. He's a fascist. 414 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.960 They say, he is just an awful human being, and he should not 415 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.920 be allowed to be president, definitely, and probably not be allowed to be 416 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:15.079 walking around freely in this country. And so there's one group. The other 417 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.960 group says, look, some folks in the other group love him. Some 418 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:28.559 folks say, it's not so much about him, it's about actually causing the 419 00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:31.840 system that we have built. Not the system that was founded, but the 420 00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:37.320 system that our bureaucrats have built. We want to dismantle that, and this 421 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:39.599 guy poses a threat to that, and we like that. We like that 422 00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:44.360 because the bigger that the system is built, the less liberty that we have 423 00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:49.719 here as citizens. And so, depending upon which group you're in, which 424 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.199 bucket you fall into, you're going to say I viewed this through a number 425 00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:59.760 of different different ways. But the one group says Trump knew. Those who 426 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.360 hate him assumed Trump knew he lost the election, was just trying to hang 427 00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:07.159 on to power, was trying to stage a coup. The other side would 428 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:12.639 say, it seemed logical to me that this guy absolutely believed he lost the 429 00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.480 election, was unable to get anything to be done about it. It was 430 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:21.000 kicked the can was kicked down the road. Nothing was happening. And so 431 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:23.559 anyway, I've got an analogy that I don't think I've got time to get 432 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.760 to. And so, but the point is he didn't do it ultimately right. 433 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.079 It was discussions, it was talk, it was strategy. Who knows, 434 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.840 maybe it was just bravado, but it did not happen. Trump left 435 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.480 the White House peacefully in January of twenty one. Quick time out my friends 436 00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:52.519 back in a minute, Welcome back to my friends, really quickly. I 437 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.079 feel like the analogy here between Trump and how you view his leaving the White 438 00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:00.320 House, and I'm going to use something that just is to pay ain't the 439 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.639 picture. This isn't to be taken literally, but I think I think it 440 00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:07.320 just kind of sets the mindset. So let's say, let's say that you're 441 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:13.320 a kid and you've had your bicycle stolen, and a couple days later, 442 00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.079 you see someone riding your bicycle. You know it's yours because it's got some 443 00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:20.280 marking that only exists on your bike. Whatever it was, right, there's 444 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.800 there's a certain maybe you put your name on it, you painted a certain 445 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.480 part, a certain color, whatever. You know. One this is your 446 00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:30.360 bike, and you go up to the kid on the bike and you confront 447 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.400 the kid on the bike. Now, let's say you're an observer, and 448 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.239 there's two types of observers. There's a group maybe his buddies, who's who. 449 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.719 Before he walks over to the kid, he says, look, there's 450 00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:44.400 a kid on my bike. I'm going to go take get my bike back. 451 00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.320 So you know that that's his bike. But let's say you're a person 452 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:52.360 just wandering through the park and you look over and you see this kid riding 453 00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:54.199 a bike. You don't know that it's not his bike, and you see 454 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:59.800 some other kid come up who starts bullying him. What it appears like to 455 00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.079 you give me the bike, and you're thinking, hey, man, what's 456 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:06.599 your problem? This is his bike. The point is the perspective of whether 457 00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:13.280 or not you view how you view that interaction depends upon whether you believe it's 458 00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:16.280 his bike or not, right. And I think, again, that's a 459 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:21.559 tiny example. I don't want it to be no too literal, but I 460 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:25.679 think that's the way that this whole fight over whether or not Trump was fighting 461 00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:28.840 for the White House or not was legit. I gotta go STG.
