All right, my friends, here

10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.960
eight three zeros. So I want
to talk a little bit about this Republican

11
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.239
primary. I want to talk about
a little bit I should say about the

12
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.640
debate on Wednesday night. I look, I've shared this with you, and

13
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.920
this is not meant this is not
meant to be a slight to anybody on

14
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.840
that stage. You know, I
have my problems with the Republican Party in

15
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:34.040
general. Fact, that was recently
talking with someone who we're hiring. We're

16
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:41.159
hiring some things here and was talking
with someone and this individual told me,

17
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.680
you know, I can't because of
ideology, and I said, hey,

18
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.640
I get it. It's cool.
I told her that, you know,

19
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.480
my dad's a Union Democrat. Our
first salesperson the some story. I don't

20
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.959
know if I ever shared any of
those stories, but that was quite the

21
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.079
entertaining situation, eye opening in a
lot of ways. But our first salesperson

22
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:12.120
was a self described liberal Democrat and
she paid me what I consider one of

23
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.879
the greatest compliments ever. Anyway,
so I just shared that and say best

24
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:22.680
wishes. And so there's some just
some back and forth with this person,

25
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:30.680
and she expressed some I don't know, some anger, maybe disapproval with the

26
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:36.599
Republican Party, and I said,
hey, I can't say that. I

27
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.080
really blame you for that. I'm
not out here trying to defend the republic.

28
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.319
I'm not trying to defend anybody.
I know some people think I defend

29
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.280
Trump. I'm trying to say what
I think is accurate and true. If

30
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:52.159
Trump happens to be on the right
side of that, then that's why we

31
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.560
end up there. I haven't said
everything that Trump said is accurate and true,

32
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.719
But when you look at the big
picture of what has to happen in

33
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:05.319
this country when you look at the
massive problems that we face inside our nation's

34
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.560
capital, inside the alphabet soup of
federal agencies and so forth, We've found

35
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.800
ourselves a real legitimate problem. We've
got the weaponization of the DOJ. We've

36
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.159
got that. Some people don't want
to admit that. Some people think that

37
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.840
this is a justifiable crusade that's being
waged against former President Donald J. Trump.

38
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:37.159
I do not I do not want
a crusade waged against Joseph Robinette Biden

39
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.159
president former vice president bribery. I
don't want that. I want justice.

40
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.319
I don't want to have to turn
a blind eye to legitimate problems, potential

41
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.960
money laundering and kickbacks and bribery.
I don't want to have to turn a

42
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.159
blind eye to that because he is
on the other side of the political aisle.

43
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.800
But I also don't want to use
the fact that he is on the

44
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.319
other side of the political aisle as
a reason as a rationale for pursuing him.

45
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:12.159
So, but that's not what's happening
today. And so when I look

46
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.959
at the twenty twenty four campaign,
the primary process, and I look,

47
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.879
we were down to four people on
the stage, there's five in the race.

48
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.079
Well again, there's one in the
race right now. The other four

49
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:31.120
are trying to prove to us,
demonstrate to us that they are capable of

50
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.560
beating the one real person in the
race. And I'm not trying to be

51
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.639
disrespectful. I remember going through this
prior to people, prior to people entering

52
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.199
the race. I remember saying these
things. I don't have the sound bites,

53
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.120
but I remember, in this steel
trap brain that I've got, I

54
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.920
remember going I remember saying I remember
when DeSantis announced, I said, this

55
00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:00.920
is a bad choice. Someone is
giving him bad advice, strategically bad.

56
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.959
The only reason the Santis will be
the nominee ultimately, and this was back

57
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.360
whenever he announced, is if Trump
ends up unable to be the Republican nominee

58
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.199
for because of legal problems, or
he's removed from ballots, or it just

59
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.279
impacts his campaign in such a way
that he's not able to function. I

60
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.360
don't think that there's a high likelihood
of that. I think that he may

61
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:33.040
get into some problems with these trials, these criminal trials. But like most

62
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.680
people, I think that this is
a political witch hunt. Most Republicans,

63
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:45.879
I should say and so there's a
group of people, a large group of

64
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.680
people. Talk to a friend of
mine earlier this week who hadn't watched the

65
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.920
debates either. I think this is
common. You know, I have followed

66
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:02.120
this stuff my entire adults life.
I remember having an interest in politics back

67
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:09.360
in high school, and I remember
watching debates. I remember watching Reagan as

68
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.439
a kid. I mean, I
didn't study it like I do today,

69
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.120
but I always, you know,
I kind of wanted to know what was

70
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.360
going on, that kind of thing. And so I'm I'm the target.

71
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.720
I'm the I'm the prototype. And
many of you in this crowd are too.

72
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.399
You're you and I are the prototype
of people who will tune in and

73
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.519
watch these debates because we like don't
I don't say I like politics, but

74
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.079
we like the debate. We like
the discussion. We think the ideas are

75
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.720
critically important. We want to make
sure we understand who we're voting for,

76
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.800
why we should pick which candidate,
what their strengths are, what their weaknesses

77
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.079
are, all that stuff. We
just like to see the back and forth

78
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.879
and all that. But I'll be
honest with you, I have not watched.

79
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.680
I have not watched. You know, there's there's hosts out there that

80
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.319
wouldn't tell you this because I don't
think that this takes away from anything that

81
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.879
we talk about, because I think
what's happening on this debate stage is absolutely

82
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.759
oh boy, I don't with given
where we are, I just I don't

83
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:28.000
think I think that it is absolutely
meaningless. I do, maybe not absolutely,

84
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.000
because you know, it's nice to
maybe know who the second choice would

85
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:44.920
be if a series of unexpected and
insurmountable odds obstacles arise for Donald Trump.

86
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.519
But this is it's it's I think
it's it's embarrassing to the candidates. I

87
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:59.560
think it's embarrassing to the Republican the
Republican Party. I think it's embarrassing to

88
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.519
Ron I think it's embarrassing to anyone
who's got their name associated with this because

89
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.879
it is like watching if you're an
NFL fan, it would be like tuning

90
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:16.560
in to boy. It's just I
don't know how to explain this. I'm

91
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.439
not trying to be personally critical.
I'm just saying where the movement is.

92
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.560
The movement is with Trump. The
connection is with Trump. When you look

93
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.320
at the entirety of what has happened
since twenty sixteen. The clear and obvious

94
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:39.559
choice once you factor in everything,
once you allow someone to articulate the reasons

95
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:48.519
why articulate that these are not legitimate
criminal procedures being waged against simness is an

96
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.399
all out political fight. This is
the weaponization of a political of the government

97
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.120
apparatus. In fact, I wrote
a little bit about this in this week's

98
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.559
column, which you can get at
todd huff show dot com. Slash column

99
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.039
is totally free goes out every Wednesday, picked up a couple new places that's

100
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.679
going to be syndicated online. I
think one of them is actually even a

101
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:18.679
physical publication anyway. But the point
is, the weaponization of government is a

102
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.840
massive, massive problem. In fact, government, as I've articulated before,

103
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.960
is one of the seven pillars of
propaganda today. These are one of the

104
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:35.080
It's one of the apparatuses that has
influence in our culture and society that's being

105
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:43.120
manned, that's being led by leftists. Even if Republicans have control of a

106
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.840
certain House, even the even the
executive branch, even if the Supreme Court

107
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.080
is quote unquote conservative, which by
the way, everybody should like that.

108
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.600
Everybody should like a Supreme Court that
actually focus a conservative court just means that

109
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.559
the court interprets the law. It
doesn't create it out of whole cloth.

110
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.519
It doesn't make it up. It
doesn't try to become Congress and the president

111
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:13.440
ruled into one. But just because
just because Republicans or conservatives may control from

112
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.000
time to time certain branches of government, it is it is the bureaucratic state

113
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.200
that is the problem. It is
the massive, out of control, bloated

114
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.480
government. It is the alphabet soup
of organizations, the DOJ, the FBI,

115
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.440
the CIA, the DHS. Right, it's all of those things.

116
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.639
And there's so many more, DOE, Department of Education. I mean,

117
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:45.759
you could go on and on,
and these things have tentacles that extend into

118
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.919
every nook and cranny in our culture, society, in your home, in

119
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.600
your school, in your child's life, in your business. That's the real

120
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.919
problem that we face. The candidates
are problems too, and by and large,

121
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.960
I mean, there's a lot of
things I like about a few of

122
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.840
these a few of these Republican candidates. I don't know what it had to

123
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.399
think long and hard to find something
I like about Chris Christy at this particular

124
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:16.679
point in time. I mean,
it's crazy, I listened to him answer

125
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.720
a question in that debate. I
do watch clubs. I've not watched the

126
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.879
entire debate. I haven't watched even
I might have one night watched a few

127
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.879
minutes of it live, but just
thought, this is so just uh,

128
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.200
it's not relevant because these folks don't
have a chance. And I started to

129
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.960
compare it. It's like, it's
like if you're an NFL fan, if

130
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.080
you tune in to the XFL or
something or whatever. I don't is that

131
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.960
even a thing now, I don't
even know. That's my point. That's

132
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.840
my point. It's and and then
and then you've got the Republican Party.

133
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.960
It's it just sets up. It
sets up beautifully for Trump. Trump can

134
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.480
point over there and say, look, I'm telling you I'm a Republican in

135
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.799
ideas, but not by the way
they run that party. I'm not a

136
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.919
part of it. I'm not going
to step into those debates again. He's

137
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.960
distancing himself from the political the ruling
class. He steps out of that and

138
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.519
says, I don't need to do
that. I'm your guy. These guys

139
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.759
are just over there talking about stuff
that's not really relevant because I'm the candidate.

140
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.919
The Republican Party has gotten it wrong
again. This is red and meat

141
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.480
to the base. This throws a
little bit of gasoline on that on that

142
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:31.200
fire that already exists. You got
Republicans bringing the other candidates in and the

143
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.720
one guy who's dominating all of them
as an up there. They look weak

144
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:43.399
and an effective and disorganized. It's
it's it's just a disaster as I see

145
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.559
it, and I try to put
myself in. Ramaswami, he's the Santis,

146
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.279
Nikki Hayley's Chris Christie, I'm convinced, has just told himself he is

147
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:00.080
the Democrat nominee on that stage.
He's he's doing the same exact things that

148
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.639
Biden would do in a one on
Well. I'm not sure Biden can pull

149
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.480
it off, but strategically he's doing
what they would want a Democrat candidate to

150
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.879
do to Trump on that debate stage. But I just asked myself, what

151
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:18.320
are these guys supposed to do?
What's Nikki Haleian's Ramaswami and Desanti is supposed

152
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:24.960
to do. They've entered this race
against all good judgment. Now here they

153
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.399
are They've got to go to these
things, They've got to go to these

154
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.320
things, and then then they're stuck
with being added virtually irrelevant event. And

155
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.120
I'm not again, I'm not trying
to be insulting. I'm just this is

156
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.039
how a ton of people, even
people like me who follow this our entire

157
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:50.679
lives, we decided we were voting
for Trump. I mean way back,

158
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:58.480
I don't even way back. We
decided that all this other stuff is I

159
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.919
think, just traction from the real
battle that we've got a wage. Anyway.

160
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.320
That being said, I still have
some clips because I do think that

161
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.200
there were some good things to come
from it. I've got a clip from

162
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.879
Ramaswami dropping the hammer on this debate. But I want to play it.

163
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.279
I want to play some of that. It is still important to know.

164
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:26.200
And I don't mean that in an
insulting way. I just I don't know

165
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.840
why they go if I I mean, other than it's the it's the they

166
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.200
have the stage, right, there's
four of them on the stage. They

167
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.440
have a chance to say some things
and be heard. But there is no

168
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:45.320
legitimate chance unless something just absolutely devastating
happens to the Trump campaign or something just

169
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.840
you know, really really terrible as
far as his candidacy goes. This is

170
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.080
this is completely irrelevant stuff. Again, I must saying the ideas are.

171
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.440
I mean, it's things that we
need to understand and think through, and

172
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.480
it's good for that. But as
far as helping us decide if one of

173
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.039
these people is going to be the
candidate, No, it just isn't.

174
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.080
Absolutely not. So timeouts in order
play some sound bites. Got other things

175
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.639
in the news stack of stuff as
well, my friends, that I want

176
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.159
to get to. You're listening here
to the home of conservative not bitter talk.

177
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.320
My vast, vast, vast vast
team of attorneys, by the way,

178
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.960
has advised me that I've got to
let you know, listening to this

179
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.080
program can cause you, can cause
you to lean to the right, to

180
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:39.200
exercise extreme caution when operating heavy machinery, when driving a vehicle, I would

181
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.000
say, when walking, simply walking, you're gonna find yourself veering to the

182
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.399
right. You've been advised, my
friends, sit tight back in just a

183
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:58.080
minute. Welcome back, my friends. I know that some of you disagree

184
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:06.360
with my sentiments. Some of you
may have different hopes or see different I

185
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:14.720
guess a different preference than I stated
last segment. We can certainly differ on

186
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:23.159
that, for sure. But I
just look the problems in this country.

187
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:30.320
The idea that we can tiptoe around
the tulips here and save this nation is

188
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:37.159
incredibly naive. And I see I
see by and large the only one that's

189
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:45.639
capable of having the mentality and take
the necessary steps, take the necessary steps

190
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.320
and actions to eradicate the problem as
best as possible. This is not going

191
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.960
away. We actually need some of
these people on stage or others who are

192
00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:00.720
out there that could be a candidate
for president in twenty twenty eight to basically

193
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.200
get ready to carry the mantle if
Trump is able to win, because this

194
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.279
is not going away. Trump's not
going to be able to completely expose and

195
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.000
eradicate the deep state. I don't
know. I'm not sure it can be

196
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:26.160
done, but it's going to need
an in an unstoppable, consistent will of

197
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:33.920
the American people and members that we
elect to Congress and the individual that we

198
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.440
elect to the President of the United
States, and we are going to have

199
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.960
to hold these folks accountable in ways
that we've not done in our lifetime.

200
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.839
This is not going away. It's
going to take a level of fight and

201
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:52.119
tenacity that a lot of people just
simply do not know or simply or not

202
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.960
comfortable with. But we have allowed
this to happen. We have been metaphorically

203
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:02.079
asleep at the wheel for way too
long. I don't mean you, some

204
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:07.000
of you have been screaming this stuff
for decades, but as a group,

205
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.960
we have been asleep at the wheel
for entirely, entirely too long. So

206
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.319
that doesn't mean that I'm not I
don't want to play soundbites from this,

207
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:30.799
so so here is Here is vivk
vivick Ramaswami in the debate on Wednesday.

208
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.400
He's talking about his three other opponents
on the stage, which of course include

209
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:44.079
Ron Desant's, Nikki Haley Chris Christie, and he launches into I mean,

210
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.200
just I think there's a lot of
truth here, and I know, look,

211
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.200
I know, and we could go
down the line of these candidates person

212
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.319
by person and some people. Look, I I have had been a fan

213
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:02.240
of Dysantis. I thought DeSantis was
the if you want to use this terminology,

214
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.559
the heir apparent. I don't mean
that literally, just I just mean

215
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.720
the next the next choice after Trump. I did think that, but I

216
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.799
don't know, I don't know what
I think now. I think I think

217
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:19.279
he used poor judgment. I don't
like some of the people I see kind

218
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:26.039
of throwing their support behind him.
That concerns me. That may not,

219
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.759
you know, It's like anything we've
got to It takes time for the dust

220
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.079
to settle, and sometimes we just
we just don't know. But there's still

221
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.880
things. I'm still hopeful about him. Some of you have it, some

222
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.440
of you have said that's over and
done with. I'm not to that point.

223
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.160
There's some things about vivek Ramaswami.
Some of you would never vote for

224
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:51.079
him. You think that he's a
plant. That's a I'm open to that

225
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:56.839
as well. But what he says, if what he says matches reality,

226
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.400
I would make the case that of
the four on the state, I think

227
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:06.480
he's the one that if you could
match the words to the true motivation,

228
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:11.680
if we could get away with that
safely, comfortably, then I would say

229
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.279
that's he's the best person on that
stage. But that may not be the

230
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:22.119
case, don't I don't know.
Nicki Haley of course drifts further to the

231
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.480
to the left of fact. There's
a clip I have clip I have in

232
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:32.480
the stack of stuff that shows Nicky
Hayley basically on TV back I think in

233
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.720
June CBS, I hadn't seen this
until now. I think this might have

234
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.240
come up in the debate. But
this issue about children being allowed, so

235
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:47.920
to speak, to have gender reassignment
surgery, which I'm still for those who

236
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:53.319
say gender and biological sex are not
the same thing, then why is biological

237
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:00.000
reassignment surgery necessary? If those things
are not the same thing, then why

238
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.000
Why is the first thing that some
people go to is I'm in the wrong

239
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.599
biological you know, the wrong body, that's of the wrong biological sex.

240
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:14.880
If those two things are not related, then why is why are these surgeries

241
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.640
necessary? It seems like a pretty
valid question to me, But Nikki Hayley

242
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.240
says that there should the law should
stay out of that. Parents should decide

243
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:30.240
a ten year old kid wants to
get a gender reassignment surgery, change their

244
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.960
you can. You can't change your
but that's the thing. You can't change

245
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:36.079
your biological sex. You can,
you can try. And by the way,

246
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:41.759
there are some absolutely terrible, sad
stories of people who have had this

247
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.240
done, who have had their biological
sex changed or attempted to be changed,

248
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.960
and they are now out there saying
that it ruined their lives. I mean,

249
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:59.519
it is sad some of this stuff
that has happened. Parents who parents

250
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.200
sometimes pushing their kids into this stuff. It's become in vogue in certain insanely

251
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:08.440
radical left circles anyway, So there's
problem. And then Chris Christie, I

252
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:15.480
think is has become the resident Democrat
on the stage. He's he's in the

253
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.519
wrong party right now based upon what
he's saying, and what's interesting about him,

254
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:27.000
I will say this is that he
he had been a defender of Trump

255
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:33.640
for so long. Now he's flipped
completely, which of course is pretty convenient

256
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.359
given that he's running for president now
anyway. So but Ramaswami says this to

257
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.960
the other people on the debate stage, I want you to hear this,

258
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.119
my other colleagues on this debate stage, is all three of them have been

259
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.640
licking Donald Trump's boots for years for
money and endorsements. Ron DeSantis, You've

260
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.400
been a great governor, but you
would have never been one without actually begging

261
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.839
Donald Trump for that endorsement. And
you had sad same thing with Chris Christy

262
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.200
as a lobbyist, begging them for
COVID money for his special interests in New

263
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.799
Jersey. Prepping him for the debates
last time around. These people are now

264
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.000
Monday Morning quarterbacking some decision he made. I think the real enemy is not

265
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.799
Donald Trump. It's not even Joe
Biden. It is the deep state that

266
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.400
at least Donald Trump attempted to take
on. And if you want somebody who's

267
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.920
going to speak truth to power,
then vote for somebody who's going to speak

268
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.279
the truth to you. Why am
I the only person on the stage at

269
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.160
least who can say that January sixth
now does look like it was an inside

270
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.039
job that the government lied to us
for twenty years about Sadi Araba's involvement in

271
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.119
nine to eleven, That the Great
Replacement theory is not some grand right wing

272
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.480
conspiracy theory, but a basic statement
of the Democratic Party's platform. That the

273
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.440
twenty twenty election was indeed stolen by
big tech, that the twenty sixteen election,

274
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:55.079
the one that Trump won for sure, was also one that was stolen

275
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:59.920
from him by the national security establishment, and actually the Trump Rusher collusion hopes

276
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.200
they knew was false. There's a
reason why I'm the only person that's what

277
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.920
it's going to take now. People
who are licking his boots one time and

278
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.759
now Monday Morning quarterback gum of criticizing
what it's convenient. Okay, there you

279
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.720
go. So that was VVK Vivek
during the debate Wednesday night. Wanted to

280
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:26.200
share that with you here as again, it was something I thought that was

281
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.880
that resonates. I think with a
lot of people, a lot of people

282
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:37.839
who have had enough, had enough
with the Republican Party kind of being asleep

283
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.279
at the wheel and not realizing recognizing
the real threats that we have. Time

284
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.279
out, though, is in order, my friends, sit tight, you're

285
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.920
listening to conservative not better talk.
I am your host, Todd huff Back

286
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:57.920
in just a minute, Welcome back, my friends. By the way,

287
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.440
end of the year is quickly approaching. Here we are what are we We're

288
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.839
just a couple of weeks out now, Christmas is just what two weeks away?

289
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:12.559
A little over is that right?
Yeah, just a little over two

290
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:18.680
weeks away. End of the years
here. Insurance premiums are set to go

291
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.160
up five to eight percent in the
new year, according to Day. This

292
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:30.720
is according to research data. This
is the greatest year over year increase I

293
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:37.519
believe I read in ten years and
ten years. So if you are wanting

294
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.519
to try to limit that impact,
which can be significant five to eight percent

295
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:48.279
of health insurance premiums. Whether that's
your individual plan, whether you've got a

296
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:53.880
group plan. Maybe you are an
HR professional at a company, maybe you're

297
00:25:53.880 --> 00:26:00.279
a small business owner, maybe you're

314
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.799
know here, we are here,
we are you know, we just talked

315
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.119
about the time of year, moving
headlong into twenty twenty four, the primaries,

316
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:51.640
the caucuses kickoff in very very short
order. We're moving towards that extremely

317
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.079
extremely quickly, and we've got a
lot of noise out there. We've got

318
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:03.440
a lot of stuff going on.
But there is again, there is again,

319
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.079
as I said, this debate,
in my opinion, while there can

320
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.519
certainly be some good things that come
from it, and I think that that

321
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:18.599
soundbity I played last segment was something
that is good and beneficial to come from

322
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.160
that, because He's right at some
point, whether you are a all in

323
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.559
Trump MAGA supporter, you're someone who
votes for him although you know you don't

324
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.359
really want to, or someone who
just is still an anti Trumper, a

325
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:37.039
never Trumper, the truth is we're
going to have to have a whole new

326
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:47.640
a whole new class, a whole
new type of leader arise. We're going

327
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:51.160
to have to have someone who understands
the seriousness of the game, someone that

328
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:59.359
loves his or her country, who
loves liberty and freedom, who understands that

329
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:06.319
they're there to do a real,
significant, difficult job, and that the

330
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:14.920
true future stake of this Republic hinges
upon their ability to do that job.

331
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.720
We've got a mess. By the
way, just referencing other things in the

332
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:26.720
stack of stuff here National Pulse has
shared is shared here. It's a research

333
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:33.759
by Rasmussen. Eighty one percent of
Americans say that illegal immigration is a serious

334
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.720
problem. I remember writing about this
in our column a couple of it might

335
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:42.519
have been a couple of months ago. I made the statement that we have

336
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:48.319
won this is now think about this. We have one on the issue of

337
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:56.799
illegal immigration, meaning we have actually
persuaded, convinced people have come to see

338
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.920
the truth on the problem of illegal
immigration. Eighty one percent say it's a

339
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:07.759
serious problem. Eighty one percent of
Americans across the board. That includes Democrats,

340
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:14.799
that includes people who are in favor
of sanctuary cities, That includes people

341
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:22.039
who generally have not been bothered by
things happening along the southern border and now

342
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:29.880
frankly along the northern border, the
percentage growth of illegal crossings there has skyrocketed

343
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.480
as well. Now, maybe a
lot some of this is fueled by what

344
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:41.400
people just saw happen in Israel when
Hamas illegally crossed their border and slaughtered and

345
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:47.119
raped and pillaged the towns, killing
women and children, the elderly, the

346
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.599
affirmed taking hostages, leading to that
mess that's going on over there. Now,

347
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.079
it should have been an eye opener, but it shouldn't have been the

348
00:30:55.119 --> 00:31:00.759
only reason people finally saw a problem
with illegal immigration. But we've won on

349
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:07.240
this issue. We've won in the
sense that people are basically saying we need

350
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:12.000
to fix it. Now. Obviously
there's a big that's a big process to

351
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.319
provide us, you know, lay
out the solution and actually get it done

352
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:22.680
politically. But we have people that
are now basically begging for this to be

353
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.759
solved. Tell me Trump wouldn't have
stepped in and fixed this by now,

354
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:33.079
Actually just enforcing the law that's on
the books would fix a big part of

355
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:38.400
this problem. The Biden administration has
completely abdicated their responsibility to do that.

356
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:44.160
In fact, there's another story in
the stack of someone an illegal alien,

357
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.920
maybe a couple of them as they
crossed and enter the country illegally, were

358
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.680
detained, they expect to be released
into the country. They were out there

359
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:59.440
saying thank you Joe Biden. People
know what's a problem. We need leaders

360
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:07.440
to actually have the intestinal fortitude,
the political will, the backbone to fight

361
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.720
this. And look, I'm not
saying none of the other folks would do

362
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.319
things that De Santis has taken steps
in his own state, right, I

363
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:22.599
see that, But I still think
that the one to do this the most

364
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:29.039
fearlessly, the one to do this
when it was first, candidly, the

365
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:30.680
one who did this first when he
was told he couldn't, he shouldn't,

366
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.160
all this other stuff. The one
who garnered support from people that had never

367
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.720
wanted to support a Republican before was
Trump, and he's the one that's best

368
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:45.640
suited to fix this problem. It's
certainly not the current administration. It's certainly

369
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.240
not Democrats in Congress. And I
got to be honest, I don't know

370
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:54.799
how many Republicans in Congress are willing, unable and committed to actually fix this

371
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:59.519
problem as well. Timeouts in order
to my friends, sits back here in

372
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:15.400
just a minute. Welcome back,
my friends. I'm gonna go back into

373
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:24.440
the distant archives here and reference something
from law from yesteryear. In fact,

374
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:31.559
I'm going to reference something that I
first heard about listening to Rush years ago.

375
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:36.599
And I remember this was back in
two thousand and six. Back in

376
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:42.400
two thousand and six, wolf Blitzer, I remember Rush talking about this.

377
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.160
This is when George W. Bush
was President of the United States. I've

378
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.920
got the transcript, I don't have
the montage, the SoundBite I'm going to

379
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.920
read. I'm going to read this
to you because Bush's polling numbers dropped to

380
00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:06.559
thirty six percent. That's important and
relevant, so because Biden's are practically at

381
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:10.639
that level today. So listen how
CNN covered this back in two thousand and

382
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:15.039
six. I'm gonna read this is
not. Rush used to play the montage

383
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:22.440
of wolf Blitzer every top of the
hour, maybe even every every segment.

384
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.000
He would he would lead with this, and this is what he would say.

385
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:30.880
It's four pm here in Washington,
so you're getting their first look right

386
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:37.159
now at our brand new poll.
The president's job approval rating has taken a

387
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:46.679
downward turn again, falling to only
thirty six percent. This represents his lowest

388
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:52.800
rating ever in the CNN USA Today
Gallop pole. The President's poll numbers are

389
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:57.920
pretty bad, pretty awful right now, rock bottom as far as the CNN

390
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:01.840
USA Today Gallop poll. Every one
of these sentences, by the way,

391
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:06.920
is a break. This is him
coming back at different parts of the segment

392
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.960
or whatever the President's Iraq problem,
he continues, and his new low point

393
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:16.119
in the polls, his approval policies
now are at new lows. You get

394
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:21.119
the idea. Well, then it
continues. It's five pm here in Washington,

395
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:22.199
So all that was in an hour. I actually skipped a couple.

396
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:28.360
It's five pm here in Washington,
where President Bush takes a beating in our

397
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:32.960
latest poll, his approval rating at
a low EBB. Right. I mean,

398
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:36.840
you can go on and on and
on to this. It's he didn't

399
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:38.519
look like he said it at six
pm. Here at seven pm here in

400
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:45.480
Washington, the warrener Raq comes home
to roost. Reminds me of Jeremi Right

401
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:51.159
for President Bush, he says,
our latest poll numbers showing his approval rating

402
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:55.840
on a new low. So basically, he was breathlessly pounding this into the

403
00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:06.280
American psyche. American It was just
pounded pounded into reality. Well, President

404
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:10.039
Biden's latest approval numbers, and you're
gonna love this. You're going I cannot

405
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:16.639
make this up. Headline here,
this is the Washington Free Beacon. Biden

406
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:23.119
reaches all time low approval in Guess
which pole, Guess which poll? These

407
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:30.360
numbers are discovered in CNN poll.
I kid you not, I cannot make

408
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:35.280
this up. You've got to be
kidding me. Biden reaches all time low

409
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:40.679
approval in CNN poll. The article
reads President Biden's approval hit an all time

410
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:50.920
low in a CNN poll released Wednesday, just thirty seven percent. You're hearing

411
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.159
this now, Pause and ask yourself
was a wolf as well? Welf blitcher?

412
00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:58.039
Still at seeing I don't even know
if he's at CNN anymore. I

413
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.639
have no idea, to be quite
honest, I feel like I see I

414
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:05.880
see him from time to time.
When I think of the media and the

415
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:09.320
mainstream media and this cast of jokers
and clowns, they all kind of morphed

416
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:13.159
into one person. For me,
it's the same person. They have a

417
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:16.920
different you know that they have a
different gender, a different race, ethnicity,

418
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:22.360
different age group. Same person,
same person. In my opinion,

419
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:29.119
or you think they're breathlessly at every
break leading with this, my friends,

420
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.920
if they're not. If they're not, then ask yourselves why. Of course

421
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.280
we know why they're not doing this. They wanted to use the poll the

422
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:43.599
low polling, to drive Bush's numbers
even lower, to hurt him. And

423
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.199
they just ignore this one, or
it'll be put on the equivalent of,

424
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:52.639
you know, page forty three,
buried somewhere between all the other stories of

425
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:57.679
the day, all the other ginned
up crap that they're throwing at President Trump

426
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:02.719
thirty seven percent. First I've heard
about this, I did not see CNN

427
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.880
breathlessly trying to tell us about it
every single time they were on the air,

428
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:12.960
which is twenty four to seven.
They should be breathlessly announcing this NonStop

429
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.119
if they want to be consistent.
Quick time out, my friends, back

430
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:30.159
in a minute. Welcome back to

the most upsetting time of the week

432
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.320
the end of this broadcast week,

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:42.599
speak here in the final moments of
this week's program. But if fear not,
