Yesterday we talked most of the program, if not all the 11 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.400 program, about Mike Pence entering entering the race. Today, well, I 12 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:21.599 guess yesterday we got news of another individual entering the race. This time we 13 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.159 hear that Chris Christie is going to be running against President former President Trump to 14 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:33.640 become the Republican nominee for president of the United States. And there's a story 15 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.200 in particular that I want to reference, and it's actually going to lead me 16 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:44.359 to reference another story that I didn't talk about yesterday, but I do feel 17 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:51.560 that it's appropriate to bring up now these are being reported. I can't obviously 18 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.079 personally vouch for these things. I do know that these sorts of things happen 19 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.159 in Washington, DC. They happen in politics, they happen in business, 20 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.280 they happen in churches and Little League sports and everything else. This drama behind 21 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.319 the scenes. But the Dailymail dot Com is reporting, Actually, they have 22 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:22.599 an exclusive story as of yes it was yesterday headline how Chris Christie vowed to 23 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.280 quote get into the ring for twenty twenty four in quote secret meeting with New 24 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.479 Hampshire GOP bigwigs. I love the term bigwigs. By the way, if 25 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.599 you can throw the word bigwigs into a sentence today, give yourself a couple 26 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.759 of bonus points. But bigwigs where he furiously ranted about Trump for forty five 27 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.759 for forty five minutes. Now that's the story. It's an exclusive again with 28 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.560 the Dailymail dot Com. It's on our stack of stuff if you want to 29 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.039 read these articles. Again, I always most of the time there's some exceptions 30 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.639 to things that don't end up there, but Toddhuffshow dot com. Just go 31 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.080 to the stack of stuff. Hat tip to the late great Rush Limball on 32 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.479 that. But that's where you can read the things that we talk about, 33 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.960 should you have an interest in reading what I'm talking about on this program, 34 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:20.039 the things that we're looking at for a particular for particular day. So we 35 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:27.759 know, we know that these things happen again, not just politics, but 36 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.879 obviously politics. We know that there are big wigs within the Republican Party. 37 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:38.919 We know that there are big wigs within the Democrat Party. We know there 38 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:45.520 are big wigs outside the United States of America in the globalist community. There 39 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:51.599 are big wigs in any form of government, politics, whatever, country, 40 00:03:51.840 --> 00:04:00.840 culture, people who are trying to consolidate their power, increase, multiply their 41 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.879 influence, and a lot of that's I mean fine in general. I mean 42 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:15.120 as long as as long as there's no manipulation, deceit, stealing, you 43 00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:18.240 know, lying, I mean that that's that's all fine. Right. I 44 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:25.160 mean, we come onto this program, you know, we've we get this 45 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.759 program on certain radio stations and outlets, podcasts and so forth around the country, 46 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.800 and we're trying to persuade I make no mistake or no, I keep 47 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.839 this. This is completely out in the open, completely transparent. We want 48 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:48.800 I want to persuade people to accept the truths of constitutional conservatism. Even more 49 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.839 importantly, I want to I want folks to consider the truth to the Gospel 50 00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:00.079 of Jesus Christ. But I look, this is we talk about culture and 51 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.519 worldview and politics, and then that inevitably leads to these these other issues that 52 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:14.800 we that we talk about because one's worldview, one's worldview determines or has a 53 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:21.079 major influence on how we then view the political you know, politics in general, 54 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.519 which party we're going to support, that sort of thing. Politics is 55 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.959 downstream of worldview worldview. You will hear me say this. And if you're 56 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.079 new to the program or new to politics or whatever, what that basically means 57 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:46.680 is that the the political landscape is where we have the I guess the battle 58 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:53.560 is fought, the metaphorical battle or the political battle is fought as an extension 59 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:59.680 of one's worldview. So, for example, if you believe, if you 60 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.959 believe that what the founders believed, that all men, all people are created 61 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.000 equal, that they are endowed, that they are provided, that they are 62 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:16.560 given by their creator, certain unalienable rights, meaning that not because of the 63 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:21.000 government that's been instituted by the people. It's not because of the government. 64 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:27.399 It doesn't come from the government. We have certain rights by virtue of being 65 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.560 created in the very image of Almighty God. If you believe those things, 66 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:39.480 and you believe that, you know that there is a creator that has an 67 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:47.560 impact that influences how you think. You know, people are best designed I 68 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:55.600 guess to behave and it's it follows that people are created in the image of 69 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.279 God and that they are free to pursue life life as they see fit. 70 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.879 They can choose to have a relationship with God or to worship or to not 71 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:11.160 worship. I mean, we can get into the you know then trying to 72 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.519 influence the personal choices. But we have those personal choices, right. We 73 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.879 can be atheist or Hindu, or Christian or Muslim or whatever, any any 74 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:26.680 combination whatever, right, and we have those those values or that that choice 75 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.959 is inherently tied to what it means to be human. That if you have 76 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:40.639 that worldview, then you're more likely going to be sympathetic or I guess, 77 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:46.160 supportive of the concepts that we find in this country limited government, maximum liberty. 78 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:54.040 If you understand if you if your worldview is that humanity is imperfect, 79 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.560 if you believe in truly understand what human nature is, and you understand that 80 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:07.759 every person, we're all subject to this concept that says power corrupts and absolute 81 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.319 power corrupts absolutely. When you understand those things, and if that is your 82 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.319 worldview, then you want to create safeguards. You want your government to be 83 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.160 balanced. You don't want power consolidated. This is why the Founders did some 84 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:28.240 of the things that they did. Conversely, if you believe that, you 85 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.320 usually you that This is what I've always found interested about interesting about the socialists 86 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:41.840 and the radical left. They believe that they have special privileges, authority, 87 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:50.039 power, and so forth over other people. So they might believe that the 88 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.720 average person is incapable of making the quote unquote right decisions. So that's why 89 00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:00.519 they think they are there in that position to help influence a certain behavior. 90 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.480 By the way, CEO of Black Rock, in fact, I should pull 91 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.240 that up, that was in that was in my stack of stuff. Maybe 92 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.240 you know what I looked at that recently. I don't know if I put 93 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.200 that in the stack of stuff. Actually terrifying words. It's something I wanted 94 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.559 to get to. So I need to make a note ods remind me, 95 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.879 remind me next break to pull that SoundBite of the CEO of Black Rock talking 96 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:33.639 about their responsibility to influence certain human behavior, because that's antithetical to what I've 97 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:41.480 just been talking about. So it turns out the worldview. Worldview matters, 98 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:48.559 right, So if someone believes that certain behavior must be manipulated in the people 99 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.559 in the average, amongst the average everyday citizen, they're going to be more 100 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.360 sympathetic to the concept that we need to elect people who are the technocrats. 101 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.559 We need to elect the people who are these so called experts. We need 102 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.039 to let them make all of the decisions, and then because by virtue of 103 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.480 who they are, by virtue of their intellectual prowess, by virtue of just 104 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.720 how insightful and wise and wonderful these folks are. This is, by the 105 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.360 way, I think, is complete and utter nonsense. But some people believe 106 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.000 this. They believe we should elect people who effectively tell us every detail of 107 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.519 how to live our lives, for example, what to drive, what to 108 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:37.480 eat, what to wear. The Left is never tired of telling you, 109 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.639 of telling me what we must do, you must do it. It's not 110 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.799 enough for the left to for you or I to say we can peacefully exist 111 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:52.600 with anyone who believes anything, so long as they do not try to infringe 112 00:10:52.639 --> 00:11:00.519 upon my freedoms or force their worldview and beliefs upon me. I don't. 113 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.960 I don't have a problem with people who I mean, I'm diametrically opposed to 114 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.840 the idea of some of these, say the transagenda. If someone wants to 115 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.639 believe that privately, if someone wants to even persuade me as an adult, 116 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.080 that's fine. Try to explain to me why I'm wrong. I'm not, 117 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.440 by the way, But if they want to, okay, that's fine. 118 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.519 I can respect that. But that's not what happens. They want to silence 119 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:33.240 you if you disagree. They want to punish you if you don't comply. 120 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:43.360 They want to personally intimidate and malign and insult and verbally assault, sometimes physically 121 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.080 assault people who disagree, and that of course creates the problem. But the 122 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:58.960 worldview politics is downstream of worldview, and so people who are inside these big 123 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.480 wig circles, of course they have their worldview and ideology, but they also 124 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.639 have Many of these folks also have an inclination to well, to just have 125 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.879 their fingers on the levers of power. They just want and again, there's 126 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.399 nothing wrong with wanting to influence it if you are again, not manipulating or 127 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.559 deceiving. This is my problem with the far left. If they want to 128 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.000 try to persuade on some of these issues, that's one thing. But they 129 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.120 want to they want to lie, and they want to silence the other side, 130 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.720 and that's that's the problem. But we've got these big wigs and they 131 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.600 exist everywhere, and every political party and every every ideological group. There are 132 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.120 big wigs, and they've gotten together and they've made their choices. Now the 133 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.159 big wigs, Boy, how many times can you say big wigs in a 134 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.879 program? I want to set the record today for that. But the big 135 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.600 wigs in the Republican Party, at least in the state of New Hampshire has 136 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:05.799 per this article here. They've gotten together and they want In general, the 137 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.320 big wigs the party establishment does not want President Trump. Now there are some 138 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.600 exceptions, because from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, Trump actually won some of 139 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.600 those folks over and he should have, by the way, because of what 140 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.080 he did as president of the United States. For those first four years. 141 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.480 But there were other people, and I've watched it. I mean I watched 142 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:39.120 otherwise intelligent people who went from never Trump to in twenty sixteen, to reluctantly 143 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.600 Trump in twenty twenty to now never Trump again. People who I'm not going 144 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.440 to mention any name. Some of these names you absolutely would know. It's 145 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.759 just it doesn't make any sense to me. Now people are free to support 146 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.679 whichever nominee that they want. I don't have a problem. You can support 147 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.679 a different nominee than than I will. That's don't We need to advance the 148 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:11.080 cause of liberty and the constitution again. But this group of people they get 149 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:18.039 together, they meet in secret, and Chris Christie, Chris Christie apparently gets 150 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.960 together with them, goes on a rant, rants about Trump, bashing Trump, 151 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.840 talks about how he wants to, you know, politically take him out 152 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.559 and defeat him and so forth. And I don't know, you know, 153 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.600 yesterday I kind of painted a picture for Pence and and I do think that 154 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.600 again, I do think that there is a faith component, but there's also 155 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.159 there's also the human component. And I don't want to whitewash this. I 156 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.720 don't want to sanitize it because there are conversations that happened like this behind closed 157 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.759 doors all the time in the Republican Party and the Democrat Party at the World 158 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.120 Economic Forum. And the more power that the group has that's meeting behind closed 159 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.200 doors, the more problematic that that meeting or the results of that meeting can 160 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.080 be. So but anyway, this apparently, this whole story that that that's 161 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:20.759 been breaking about Chris Christie is effectively to me, it highlights just the desperation 162 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.240 and the thinking or the hopeful thinking of people that are just still in that 163 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.080 anti Trump camp. They're looking to a Chris Christie, They're looking to a 164 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.679 Mike Pince. There's something else about Pence that I want to share as well. 165 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.600 Again, I'm not saying that it's it's accurate, but there's always another 166 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.960 side. I think, you know, as I said, I think there's 167 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.600 the faith component, but there's also the strategy. There's also the conversation behind 168 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.320 behind closed doors. And there's been an individual on Twitter who's saying he has 169 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.000 inside sources, and so for someone that i've you know, follow his tweets 170 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:06.120 and see from time to time, So there's always politics can is politics is 171 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:11.320 not for the faint of heart. Politics is a dog eat dog world. 172 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.120 I mean, it is a very intense, intense world, and we see 173 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:23.440 parts of that sometimes, but we're seeing the sanitized, polished um well maybe 174 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.080 maybe not all the time with Trump, and that's kind of his strategy. 175 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:32.799 But you know, we're not necessarily seeing we're seeing the results of the strategy 176 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.960 when they when they go to debate, when they start their campaign, they're 177 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.720 positioning themselves. They're trying to differentiate themselves from the competition. They're trying to 178 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.039 look like the new shiny thing. They're trying to fill a void that the 179 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.720 Republican Party may have perceived within itself over the past four or eight years or 180 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:56.080 whatever. And that's what this is all about. And so these big wigs 181 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.039 get together and they kind of want to pick their guy. They're trying a 182 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.039 lot of these big wigs are trying to find anyone that can win that's not 183 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:10.599 named Donald Trump. And that's still a factor all of these folks. I 184 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:17.079 don't I don't foresee any way whatsoever. Even if Trump, in the worst 185 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.920 case scenario, is unable to run, the Left gets him, which I'm 186 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.039 not predicting. I don't think that's gonna happen. But the Left is able 187 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.599 to get him removed from the ballot or separated from fundraising, and he's just 188 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.960 unable to get going again. I don't think it's gonna happen. But to 189 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.039 me, the next logical person is is de Santis. I don't even think 190 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.559 de Santis should be in there, but anyway, De Santis is in there. 191 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.920 Let alone Chris Christie, Tim Scott, Nicky Haley, Mike Pence, 192 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:52.799 Vivek Ramaswamy. I like things about some of those folks, but there's a 193 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.480 lot of things not to like about some of these folks as well, a 194 00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:00.359 lot not to like about Chris Christie, I think. But anyway, so 195 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.839 this is how politics. This is. This is the making sausage part of 196 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.359 politics, I guess, the the ugly parts behind the behind the stage, 197 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.119 the big wigs getting together, trying to hand pick someone that they think they 198 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:18.759 can get to beat President Donald Trump in the primary process. And I think 199 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.480 it's important. It's also I want to say this to point out and I 200 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.559 want to stop and then we'll talk about Pence next segment. But I also 201 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:32.240 think it's indicative. It shows us the importance you hear me say the time 202 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:38.119 to the time to pick our candidate is between these primary seasons. We can 203 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.519 complain and whine and moan about who's on the ticket each election cycle, but 204 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:48.200 the time to pick it is in this time between elections, right, And 205 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.960 that's what we see these big wigs. Yet again that had to set the 206 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.079 record, But the big wigs meeting to somehow, you know, pick Chris 207 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.519 CHRISTI the group in New Hampshire that's trying to coalesce around him, which is 208 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.839 not a big enough group. But the point is they're able to put that 209 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:10.920 together because they've got access to resources, they're politically connected, they're able to 210 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.839 get people that can help with campaigning and so forth. Help I get a 211 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.759 little bit with fundraising, a little bit maybe with volunteers, and they get 212 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.599 that. They get the metaphorical plane off the ground. Wheels are up with 213 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.519 this campaign, even though I do think it's going to crash and burn pretty 214 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.400 quickly. But anyway, Chris Christie thinks he can win, we'll just see 215 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.680 about that in due course. Nothing personal, but I don't see any way 216 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.880 possible that that's even remotely anywhere near a reality that he's going to win the 217 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.599 nomination. But here we go. Chris Christy's now in the races while time 218 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.599 mounts in orderlong in the segment, my friends sit tight. You're listening to 219 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.559 conservative, not better talk. I'm your host, the one, the only 220 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:56.640 tide. Hugh back in just a minute, Welcome back, my friends. 221 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:03.000 So I mentioned break that they're kind of going hand in hand with what we 222 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:10.680 just talked about with Chris CHRISTI. There is a there's another story that again 223 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:17.680 someone on Twitter has has shared and of course my Internet is acting a fool 224 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:23.359 right now. But Mike Pence, this is actually from a guy on Twitter. 225 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.920 I think the Twitter handle is DC drain No DC, here we go, 226 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:36.279 DC draino, and he posted again he's claiming to have sources. I'm 227 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.680 just I'm just pointing this out. I'm not trying to say that this is 228 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:48.039 definitive, definitively the case or anything. I'm just pointing out that these are 229 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.400 the sorts of things that happen behind the scenes in Washington, in Washington, 230 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:57.240 d C. There is I do think, I do think that there's a 231 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:03.839 faith component in my Mike Pence's team. I've seen it at events and so 232 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:11.240 forth. I think they're they're wrong in their desire to run here, I 233 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.279 think it's I think it's a bad play and short of guide calling Mike Pence 234 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.160 to run, this is a bad play. But anyway, there's also they're 235 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:26.680 definitely our strategic conversations as well. And this is what DC Drano said on 236 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:33.200 Twitter. I think it was would have been maybe Monday, whatever day Pence 237 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.640 announced, I get Monday. He says this, now that Mike Pence is 238 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.680 into the race, let me tell you all some insight info. In the 239 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.519 days leading up to j six that's January sixth, I was informed by trusted 240 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:51.400 sources that Pence wasn't going to contest the rigged electoral College results. I couldn't 241 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.200 believe it. How could he backstab seventy four million people and allow fraud to 242 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.200 overthrow our executive branch? But that I was told old Why now this is 243 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.519 what he's saying. He was told. Now, he might have been told 244 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.599 this, and this is a fabricated story. He might have been told this, 245 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.559 and there be some I don't know, some element of truth or all 246 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:18.079 truth, or I'm just saying that this is the sort of thing that happens 247 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.240 in DC. And these are the sorts of conversations that are that are had, 248 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:27.079 and this is what he's saying firsthand sources told him. He says that 249 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:33.240 he Mike Penns cut a deal with the Coke Fundraising Network. That's the Coke 250 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.400 Brothers, Koch, not Coca Cola. They wouldn't be caught dead supporting any 251 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.440 Republican. But anyway, he says here that Mike Penns could have deal with 252 00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.240 the Coke Fundraising Network to be their lead horse in twenty twenty four if he 253 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:51.400 backstabbed at Trump and the MAGA movement in twenty twenty To those that say he 254 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:56.279 didn't have the power to contest fraudulent ballots and allow state legislatures to conduct for 255 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.039 their review, then why did they change the Electoral College Act in twenty twenty 256 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:10.039 two to explicitly state the VP can no longer facilitate that exact process because Pence 257 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.640 could and he knew it, but he took the blood money. Anyway, 258 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.960 this is again, these are not my words. I'm just telling you, 259 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.119 this is what. This is what someone on Twitter who's not I mean, 260 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:26.079 he's he's you know, um, he's got his sources and so forth. 261 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:33.200 He's he's a regular comment commentator on these things. He said that Pence took 262 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.640 the quote blood money. Anyway, we are not in this situation because of 263 00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:40.799 President Trump. When you're here because a powerful force has worked to fortify the 264 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:45.920 twenty twenty election, and coward rhinos like Mike Penn's partnered with them. Let's 265 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.720 show judas he says, what we think of his backstabbing in the life join 266 00:23:52.799 --> 00:24:03.160 us for Wisconsin's private College. So that being said, that that is we 267 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.000 know that there's strategy involved, and we also know that the people who are 268 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.640 in positions of power, people who are the big wigs. I throw that 269 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:17.119 in there again. The people who are the big wigs, they are trying 270 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:22.160 to find their candidates to beat Mike or excuse me, Donald Trump. That 271 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:29.000 is one hundred percent the case. Whether this specific thing happened. I'm not 272 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:33.720 suggesting that you know, this individual on Twitter made it up, but maybe 273 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.440 he was fed false information. I mean, it's it's an unnamed source, 274 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.960 but he says it's a trusted source. There's, folks, the stuff that 275 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:48.599 happens behind those closed doors in politics are I mean, it's it's ruthless, 276 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:56.119 it's hard to believe sometimes, but nonetheless it's it's going on, and what 277 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.240 we do know. The takeaway from this for me is that we know at 278 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.599 when we see names like Chris Christie, like Mike Pennce, like Nicky Haley, 279 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.960 like Tim Scott, these are folks, even even the Sciantis, and 280 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:15.160 I'm not again, everyone should be able to try to get the candidate that 281 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.440 they want elected. But it is from a position of more it's more about 282 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.960 it not being Trump, the candidate not being Trump, than it being some 283 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:30.160 of these other people kind of kind of in a way the opposite of what 284 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.559 the Democrats did in twenty twenty, which was I mean they were they were 285 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.759 wanting it, you know, to elect anyone that could beat Trump as well, 286 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.799 and they were just looking for anyone that they thought that the party could 287 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.200 coalesce behind and organize behind. On the Republican side, they're trying to find 288 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:51.359 that one person. It's the same thing, really, I guess depending on 289 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.400 how you look at it, but they're trying to get someone that they can 290 00:25:53.519 --> 00:26:00.519 that everyone can support, and they're hoping they will leave Donald Trump and Droves 291 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:07.000 and go to these other these other individuals who candidly and my estimation, just 292 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:18.720 don't have don't have the fortitude or the strength or the just the renegade spirit 293 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:23.279 almost that's required to deal with what is wrong in Washington, DC. So, 294 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.599 anyway, this stuff is happening, whether this particular one is what you 295 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.839 know happened behind closed door with Pence, I don't know. I'm not there. 296 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.240 I'm I'm only saying that these conversations do happen. We do know that 297 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.319 there's strategic conversations, not just there's more to it than just some of the 298 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.960 things we talked about yesterday. But perhaps most importantly, we know that they're 299 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:51.319 desperately the establishment is desperately looking for someone that they can make the Republican nominee 300 00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:55.000 who's not named Donald Trump. I guess it would be similar, now that 301 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:57.799 I think this through and rephrase what I was saying about the Democrats, it 302 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:04.400 would be akin to the Democrats saying we want anybody to be our candidate besides 303 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:14.160 besides Bernie Sanders, which is what's happened in that party for for some time. 304 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.079 Anyway, timeout is in order, my friends, sit tight. You're 305 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.079 listening to conservative not better talking. I'm your host, Todd huff back in 306 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:33.240 back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. I want to 307 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.799 shift gears here a little bit I mentioned earlier in the program. We were 308 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:45.759 talking about worldviews and politics being downstream from worldviews, meaning again I went through 309 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.039 that, but effectively someone's belief system, what they believe human nature is, 310 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.960 how they believe we got here, what they believe the purpose of life is. 311 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.440 Those things all impact politics, which, by the way, I will 312 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.000 say this, and I don't want to speak too much about this today, 313 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:10.599 but it's it's one of the reasons why it's one of the reasons why the 314 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.839 left wants to silence conservative well, conservatives of any type. But if they 315 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:21.640 can get a group like conservative Christians to not engage in the political discussion because 316 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:23.759 hey, man, that's your religion, don't be pushing that on me. 317 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:30.160 But meanwhile, meanwhile, the radical left that world worldview absolutely as a religion, 318 00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.079 a religion that they are forcing down the throats of the American people. 319 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:40.000 They just don't want us to see it that way anyway. But worldview is 320 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:48.119 upstream of politics, and how you view the world obviously depends upon what you 321 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:55.960 think how you think politics should be handled on well this side of Heaven. 322 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.960 So I mentioned CEO of Black Rock, Larry Fink, this is I think 323 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:07.359 this is from It looks like this is from a couple of years ago, 324 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.519 but this is just something that's been circulating that I've just seen lately. He's 325 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.480 talking about particular here EESG scores, which we've gone through, actually a couple 326 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:21.759 I think it was last week. We spent a lot of time talking about 327 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:30.119 ESG scores, d EI scores, CEI scores, and how those are being 328 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:37.119 used against the American business. We talked about this when we talked about Chick 329 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:41.880 fil A, Chick fil A now having what a vice president I believe of 330 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:51.160 diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we talked about the reasons the pressures 331 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:57.400 that exist to force to force the hands of businesses. Now. I don't 332 00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:06.119 want words to be put in my mouth. I certainly I'm not the true 333 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:10.559 meaning of a lot of these words. I would say is a good thing. 334 00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:14.559 Although I don't like the constant focus on superficial diversity. I think there 335 00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.039 should be diversity of thought. That should be something that we that we look 336 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:23.000 for to make ourselves well rounded, whether as an organization or whatever. But 337 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.079 of course, in the day of identity politics, that's not what most people 338 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:33.160 mean. But you know that the concept of what d D EI means and 339 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:41.000 CEI and ESG. The context when we understand it completely is basically, it's 340 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:47.960 another avenue where the woke, radical left worldview is forced upon the American people 341 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:53.200 through their employment, maybe through the place that they're trying to buy something from. 342 00:30:55.519 --> 00:31:00.400 So that is kind of the the I guess backdrop of this is that 343 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:06.160 there's so much pressure put on individuals. I Again, to me, the 344 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.920 best analogy or the best example, I should say, is the vaccination situation, 345 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:18.480 because a lot of people were forced to make a decision between getting vaccinated 346 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.079 and keeping keeping their jobs. I mean, they really amped up the pressure 347 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:27.359 on people. And I know people you do too that got vaccinated that just 348 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:32.759 didn't want to but they were afraid of losing their jobs. That might describe 349 00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:38.480 you as well. It's terrible that this was what happened anyway, So that's 350 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:44.160 the same sort of thing they're trying to do with these other woke ways of 351 00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.000 thinking, I don't want to say thinking, woke ways of being. They 352 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:56.319 want to force this radical, woke leftist agenda through the business community, through 353 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.319 your employer, just like they did COVID vaccinations. Because it's another way to 354 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:07.160 move America in the direction that the big elites want us to go, which 355 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:13.400 is ultimately globalism, or at least a nation that is not built, that 356 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:19.799 is not any longer I guess, seek to find liberty, defend liberty for 357 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:23.680 all people, and that's because that empowers them more. So. Here's Larry 358 00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:30.599 Fink. They're talking about ESG scores, and he's basically up on this stage 359 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.039 saying, you know, the time has come sometimes you just have to force 360 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:43.799 behaviors. He thinks that Americans should be forced to accept certain I guess gender 361 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.039 ideology. He doesn't quite say that explicitly, but he comes kind of close 362 00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:53.200 anyway. Here he is saying it's okay to sometimes force behavior. And when 363 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:58.599 you understand that they can how much money black Rock controls, how much pressure 364 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:05.359 they put on companies who you people like Black black Rock or Vanguard to get 365 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:09.880 access to funding to operate, they're very very I don't want to say influential, 366 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:16.039 it's manipulative. They're making putting demands on these folks to change behavior. 367 00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:25.319 Without just trying to influence the culture, They're trying to force it to change 368 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:34.240 through external circumstances, through keeping companies from getting you know, cash flow or 369 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:42.079 loans for expansion to where they're you know, they're they become dependent upon this 370 00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:46.640 this money and black Rock and Vanguard and others can put a lot of pressure 371 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:52.279 on them to force them to change the culture, their company culture and by 372 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.680 extension, the American culture. So here's what he has to say about this. 373 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:02.720 Stop the tape, I tell you what this has happens. I'm taking 374 00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.800 a break. I'm gonna reconnect this stinking thing during the break. Timeout is 375 00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.960 needed anyway, I just tested this. Be back in a minute, my 376 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:27.119 friends. All right, I it worked as soon as I went to its 377 00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:31.280 commercial break last time. I told Oz, I don't understand what's going on 378 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:37.159 here, so I literally just listen to this. So hopefully it works. 379 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.719 If not, I'm just gonna have to tell you what he says. But 380 00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:45.320 again, this is CEO of Black Rock, Larry Fink. It looks like 381 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.960 this happened a couple of years ago, but it's just now surfacing as this 382 00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:59.239 esg pressure on businesses and of course the di CEI scores all those things, 383 00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.719 which effectively there are just different ways of saying we're gonna make you become woke 384 00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.880 businesses. It's the reason why one of the main one of the main driving 385 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:17.480 forces why target Walmart whoever is actually doing some of these crazy things things that 386 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:24.679 their customers don't like, because it's they would rather lose market share or watch 387 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:32.400 their market capitalization drop versus versus lose access to much much larger chunks of capital. 388 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.280 Anyway, that being said, this better work. I just listen to 389 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:43.559 this. Here's an exchange Larry Thinks, CEO black Rock. He's on stage 390 00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.880 talking with I don't know who the individual kind of leading this panel is, 391 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:53.079 but I just he asks him a question and he responds with the basic idea 392 00:35:53.159 --> 00:36:00.679 that says force is sometimes necessary, well changing the culture. Basically here it 393 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:07.039 is you. You now make a point of that that's an investment criteria for 394 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:09.599 you. Well, behaviors are going to have to change. And this is 395 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:15.599 one thing we're gonna We're asking companies asking you have to force behaviors. And 396 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.960 at black Rock we are forcing behaviors. Fifty four percent of the incoming class 397 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:27.880 or women. We added four more points in terms of diverse employment this year, 398 00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.880 and it will if you know what we're doing internally is if you don't 399 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:37.119 achieve these levels of impact, your compensation could be impacted. Okay, we're 400 00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:40.719 doing the same thing. And so it's just you have to force behaviors. 401 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:47.079 And if you don't force behaviors, whether it's gender or race or just any 402 00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.400 way you want to say, the composition of chism, you're going to be 403 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.400 impacted. And that's not just not recruiting. It is development, as Ken 404 00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:00.599 said, and ultimately it's still going to take time. But I am just 405 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:07.400 as much shocked as Ken is that we have shot seen more opportunities and we're 406 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:13.639 going to have to force change. He's going to have to force change. 407 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.320 Right, These are people that now he was it sounded like moving back and 408 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:28.960 forth between talking about their internal team but also talking about their investments. Right. 409 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:37.960 They want to use the means of force, the means any means necessary 410 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:45.360 effectively within the world of financing or within the world of manipulation coercion. They're 411 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.559 prepared to do it to generate a desired results. And when you realize how 412 00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:57.440 much money these folks control, how much power they have, it's understandable why 413 00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:07.679 these companies sometimes make decisions to do things like promote some of the apparel or 414 00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:12.800 whatever that target does. For example, it may hurt them with their customers, 415 00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:15.760 but it appeases the big money lenders and investors. Quick time out, 416 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:34.320 my friends, back in a minute. All right, my friends, that's 417 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.920 about all of the time that we have today. I will say this in 418 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:45.199 closing today, there's some there's some developments here behind the scenes for us that 419 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.639 in by extension, for you, some things that we've been working on, 420 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:58.159 relaunching a lot of things that I'm actually very very eager. Eager is not 421 00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.159 even the word. What's what's more, we're excited than eager, That's what 422 00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:06.639 it is. I'm just very much looking forward to being able to share that 423 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.280 with you. So lots of the grace of God, lots of good things 424 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.440 on the horizon, and of course the listeners, each and every one of 425 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:21.480 you as listening to this program, have helped us with these things that I'm 426 00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.400 going to sure about with you in short order in the days to come. 427 00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.320 But I've got to go, folks, Thanks so much. Have a great 428 00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:27.880 day. SDG.
