Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for conservative
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been
documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff Conservative
not Bitter Indeed, my friends, welcome to this hour of the Tod Huffs
Show. It is my pleasure to be here. Thank you for joining us.
You want to be part of the conversation. I always invite you to
do so, Just make it count. Make the once in a lifetime opportunity
count. Todd at tot hufshow dot com is the email three one seven one
zero twenty eight thirty. That's where you can text your thoughts and questions and
feedback. I welcome those, my friends. But today I want to get
to I want to get to a couple of things. Here. We've got
Janet Yellen, who's out there saying the average American is somewhat better off financially
under Biden. I've got a Democrat candidate who was arrested for sending himself fake
racist messages. That's something that's become a bit of a trend in the Jesse
Jesse. Smollett's situation wasn't running for office, but it's the same thing we
got the United States. According to a member of the House of Representatives,
at the highest terror threat label level, I should say, and we've got
Ai AI and a politician in across the pond is referring to himself as AI
Steve and using AI to basically determine I guess what he's going to do in
office. Anyway, We'll get to those things as best we can, and
if I don't, you can always go to the website Toddushow dot com.
Just go to the stack stuff. Hat tip to the late great Rush Limbaugh
for that term. But the stack of stuff will show you all of the
things that we are discussing here on this program. Occasionally I forget to put
something in, or I read something last week that will pop into my mind
as I'm talking on the program, in which case those things are not always
there. But this is a pretty good, pretty good summary of where we
are before we get rolling though, my friends. Let me tell you about

believe? And look, I know that the vast majority of you are people
who are conservative folks. You are folks who believe in limited government. You
are folks who believe in the rule of law, the Constitution. You believe
in liberty, you believe in the Bill of Rights. You know you and
I are on the same page. The truth is, and I've said it
on here before, that eighty percent of Americans would agree with eighty percent of
the things I say. But because we're stirred up into so much hatred.
Since the media needs a divide in conquer strategy, since the left needs a
divide in conquer strategy, they're constantly pitting people against each other. They're causing
people to look at their differences instead of their similarities as human beings. You
know, we all all share a lots of similarities. We're different as individuals,
but we all share a ton of similarities being human. We're made in
the image of God, and God has a likeness, and that's what we're
made in that likeness. It doesn't mean that we're little gods. It means
that we're a bit of a reflection of Him, just a tiny bit.
We certainly don't have omnipotence or we don't know everything, but we are reflect
of the guide of this universe, and there's certain things were created to live
a certain way. He made us to with a certain type of It means
something to be human, is the bottom line. It means something to be
human. And one of those things that means is that we were We have
a desire to be free. We have a desire to live our lives as
we see fit, and most of you agree with that. Most of you
are on the same page with me as it pertains to those things. Some
of you are tuning in, however, who don't agree with some of these
things, or maybe you agree with some of them, maybe you're a closet
conservative. You know, when I started this program, we actually started broadcasting,
broadcasting out of the bedroom closet. I started broadcasting out of the bedroom
closet. In fact, we had a just a little bit of a coming
out of the closet ceremony, Take it easy. It was all in good
fun, just a brief little thing whenever we moved into the studio in the
basement studio in the house years ago. Now we're kind of mobile with the
truth torn everything else. But the bottom line is, I know that people
listen here with different from different backgrounds. Some don't necessarily agree, some agree
with some of what I say, Some may not agree with anything. But
I'm speaking to you in particular. If you only agree with some of the
things that I say, or maybe even none of them, do any of
you really believe this is the headline here. This is at RedState dot com
yelling Poo Poo's inflation talking about Janet Yelling, the Treasury Secretary, and she
laughably claims that quote, the typical American is somewhat better off, somewhat better
off. Do any of you believe this? I sincerely want to know do
any of you believe this? Now, let me say this, I understand.
I understand that in a in an economy like the United States, if
you want to look at I don't like the idea of social classes. I
don't like I don't look at people like that. But let's just say,
for kicks and giggles, to somehow quantify and categorize. We know, we
know that in an economy like ours, that people move between economic classes pretty
regularly. This is something that happens in free societies. You've got people who
are maybe successful, who come upon hard times and they have to change things
downsize. Maybe they their business, their source of revenue, the source of
income drives up. You've got people who maybe haven't come for much that come
up with an idea or a service or a business and it explodes. You
have people who have chosen to pursue career paths that are that pay well.
They might have had to sacrifice for years as it comes to a medical school
or training to become an attorney, training to become a pilot, whatever,
a surgeon. They they move within classes, right, I mean the economic
or or social classes, which again I don't want to I don't think about
people like this. But the point in mentioning that is that we know that
we move between we can move between classes pretty regularly. This is something that
is that is actually pretty prevalent in the United States of America now. So
I know that that that there are people that were in different phases. They
were in the sacrifice phase and they reached a point where they got the payoff.
And I know that the other is true as well, that some people,
you know, were dealing with things that were more challenging so that they
might have actually dropped into a different socioeconomic class or whatever. So I'm not
talking about that, I'm talking about average you know, the factors that are
not you know, pertaining to just the natural ebb and flow. But how
many people can say, just their lives in the past three and a half
years accounting for those things that I'm talking about, accounting for you know,
the the maturation of decisions that you've made over time to just actually looking at
it on paper, who say I'm better off economically, I'm better off now
with Biden than I was with Trump. I mean, I think that's an
absolutely laughable proposition. This is what RedState dot Com has to say about it.
Perhaps Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been living inside a giant plastic bubble and
has had no contact with the outside world. How else would you explain her
complete tone deafness when speaking to the American people and the struggles they've endured under
Bidenomics. Speaking with co host Jonathan Carl on ABC's This Week on Sunday,
Janet Yellen said, sure, inflation was a little bit of an inconvenience,
a little bit of an inconvene. That's I mean, really not acknowledging the
magnitude of the problem created by inflation by your government, by my government,
the federal government, specifically by Biden, by the other clowns in Washington,
DC that are voting for this stuff. They are solely to blame for this
one hundred percent. Then even acknowledging that inflation was just a little bit of
a problem. Going back to the article here, it says you're all better
off, don't you know it, and of course she blames that inflation on
the pandemic, not on the Biden administrations out of control spending on massive bills
like the ridiculously named Inflation Reduction Act. How I remember that, I remember,
I even remember the CBO report that showed that the Inflation Reduction Act would
have zero impact on inflation. That was perhaps my favorite in fact of the
first few years it would actually cause inflation to go up, and then over
that ten year period it would basically have no noticeable impact on inflation. That
was for what the CBO said, the Congressional Budget Office, that was their
own findings, and that's where we are. And also points out here that
the one trillion dollar infrastructure bill I think I read the other day that we're
adding one trillion dollars to our federal deficit every one hundred days. Now,
it is true that the pandemic, the response, the government response to the
pandemic, certainly caused problems as it pertains to inflation, there's no doubt about
that. But to pretend like that was the sole problem and that this administration
has not progressively made it worse, would be far from a far cry from
reality. More to say about this in a minute, my friends. But

this and go back you know, I've got I've got the clipper. Do
we want to play this? I don't know. Maybe a bit of this.
Let's play a bit of this, just a bit of this. This
is Jenet Yellen on with Jonathan Carl this week. What is this ABC this
week? I think, Yeah, she's on defending Biden again. This is
going to happen where this stuff's all going to get ramped up as we move
into the final months, the final weeks eventually of this campaign. But she's
out there saying that things are good. You're probably a little bit better off
under Biden than you were under Trump. Delusional, indeed, deceitful disinformation.
Indeed, here on the economic situation here at home, you've cited a lot
of the positive macroeconomic indicators. Inflation is coming down and unemployment is low.
Wait a minute, inflation, This drives me insane. Inflation is coming down,
You know how that statement in and of itself is incredibly deceptive. Inflation
is still high. So every month, for the past couple of I should
say, the past few months, inflation has trickled down, has has ticked
down? How about that it's gone from I think it was three point five
in March. It's very close to this if I'm not right, exactly three
point five percent in March, three point four percent in April, three point
three percent in May. It's something like that. So the story becomes inflation
is coming down. Now it depends what what do you mean by that inflation
is coming down? Let me tell you what that means. It means that
if you take a twelve month span the previous twelve months. For the first
the first number I gave you three point five percent, that was in March.
So from April of twenty twenty three through March of twenty twenty four,
that's twelve months, so inflation was three point five percent. That means the
value of the dollar. The value of the dollar basically because of government spending.
Because of government spending and their creation of money without any justification to do
so, that made your dollar worth three and a half percent less. So
then if you go to the next twelve month cycle, which would have been
what would that mean? That would be May of twenty three through April of
twenty four, inflation was three point four percent, So it is, it's
coming down, but it's still about twice what it was under most of Trump's
administration. So the rate of devaluing the dollar is still twice what it should
be or what it was under Trump. It's still happening at twice the clip.
Now, what's what becomes People get confused with the numbers. People get
confused with numbers. So let's say with Trump, it was that it was
typically under two percent one point seven. Let's just pick one point seven.
So if if under Biden it's three point three right now, and under trumpet
was three point or one point seven, it's only what it's one point that's
one point six percentage points higher, But it's also fifty percent higher, meaning
you take another you take half of well, it's almost it's almost one hundred
percent higher, because it's almost double what it was. If you double one
point seven, that's three point four. That's which is roughly right where we
are right now. So it's it's doubly as bad. But see when it's
a small percentage point, they can they can make it sound like, well,
you know, it's it's not that big of a deal. No,
it's a massive deal. Because this accumulates. This doesn't stop and reset.
You know, the the inflation has hit, it can't. It's not going
to be undone. The we've the value of the dollar because of so many
extra dollar being put into the economy that is baked in that is, it's
not it doesn't reset, it doesn't undo. It's building upon it's building upon
it. That's why when you look at the cost of food, isn't it
something like forty percent higher than it was when Biden took office. I mean,
this is unsustainable stuff, and and he's just acting like inflation's cooling down.
It's increasing slightly less every every month they report on it. As of
right now, it's increasing at a slightly slower speed, but it's still increasing
about twice what it was under Trump. This is importance under the vast majority
of Trump's tenure as president, his first term. Anyway, back to this
SoundBite, I just that's that context needs to be communicated. Here we go,
here's more. I mean, he's growing, but why is it then
the voter seems so unsatisfied, and in fact, voters say they trust Donald
truy up with the economy more than Joe Biden. This should not be shocking
to you, Jonathan Well, I think the pandemic was a profoundly different year
time it was. But in the years siding up to the pandemic, Americans
were really, many of them working class families, just struggling with things like
healthcare costs, the cost of energy, education costs, tribe care costs,
and so they really feel the cost of living housing is particularly unaffordable in so
many Yes, yes, you're contributing to all this, and to make matters
worse, you're making the dollar worth less. What am I missing here,
Janet? Parts of the country, and I think the inflation that we experienced
after the pandemic just compounded this feeling for them that life isn't affordable. So
it is the Biden administration's top priority to address these costs where we possibly can,
and any progress in healthcare. Yeah, and just to be clear,
I mean, the rate of inflation is coming down, but overall inflation is
up nineteen percent since President Biden took office. On some everyday goods, it's
much higher. Price of eggs is up eighty four percent since President Biden took
office, ground beef up thirty percent, bread up twenty seven percent. I
mean buy and large. Inflation rate may go down, but those prices aren't
returning to where they were. I mean, those prices are going to remain
high. Well, it is true that over the last roughly three years there's
been a significant increase in the price level. It's now rising at a very
slow, close to normal fault. It's not as American seed is an outright
line. I mean, it is not increasing. That is an outright one
hundred percent lie. You go back and you look. Go back and look,
my friends, go back and look at the rate of inflation in twenty
sixteen, two, well, twenty seventeen, we'll start there. You can
look at you go back to even Obama. The economy was not great back
then, but the numbers of what we're experiencing now are higher, much higher
than what we've had in recent history. Go back and look. Go back
and look. She's lying. She is lying right to our face. It
comes on top of concerned about costs that we're making life very difficult. So
it's something the Biden administration interview goodly wants to address. I would point out,
of course, that wages have also gone up the rail inflation time and
government studies show we get that for all in for households, at all points
in the income distribution, sturges have gone up somewhat more than prices. Secretary,
I only have about American is somewhat better off. I only have about
ten seconds left, but I very quickly want to ask you Donald Trump floated
an idea of replacing all federal income taxes with high tariffs. Anyway that that
well, we're not even gonna talk about that. I don't want to get
too many things going. But you get the idea. You're better off underbid
and you just don't know it yet. You just don't know it yet because
conservative talk shows like me or people in the conservative blogosphere have deceived you.
We've lied to you. Apparently, go check it out. Go look,
go look at go look at this, Go look at this. They have
done absolute, just catastrophic damage to this economy, catastrophic one scorched earth.
They are to blame. This is unbelievable. They cannot be allowed to get
away with this. She is lying or delusional or maybe both. And that's
a painful interview. I mean, spit it out. Janon already gotta go
quick time out. You're listening here to conservative, not better talk on your
host, taught huff Back. In just a minute, we're going to shift
years here. I've spoken about Janet Yelling and the economy, the delusional,
deceptive interpretation, or I guess you could say the positioning, the narrative that
she has given us regarding the economy. I can't talk about that anymore.
My head's going to explode. So I want to move on to something else
here. I want to move on to the guy running for office in where
was this this was in? I want to say, well, Fort Bend,
Yeah, Texas, that's what I thought, Texas. I didn't want
to say that. But he's out there basically creating fake social media profiles and
then racially assaulting himself online and then blaming it on somebody else. I don't
know how else I was like that description. I don't know how else to
say this. So I got this that I want to talk about this segment.
This is better. This is I guess, less offensive to me than
Janet Yellen pretending like the economy is good. I don't know. I don't
know anything anymore, my friends, But here we go. That's what we're
going to talk about this segment. But before I do, let me tell
you my friends at OZ and I recently started shopping at my USA shop club
dot com. We're glad that we've done that, and we've come to understand
why. It's no wonder why more than two million households choose to shop each
and every month with them. Our family loves that this is a Patriot owned
company. It's operated by a company that supports American values, American families.
And that's a good feeling in today's world, my friend, because I don't
want to support the big conglomerates who are supporting the left wing agenda, the
left wing candidates and that sort of thing. You don't have to worry about
that. With my USA shop club dot Com. On top of that,
we're getting a better, non toxic brand. It saves us money. And
of course, in spite of what Janet Yellen told us last segment, who
couldn't use a little bit more money in this economy? Now, you're like
me, you're busy, so having your order shipped straight to your door is
going to be a huge bonus. Now if you're a man like me.
Men out there, I know this is sometimes the case, maybe oftentimes the
case, not always the case, but many times the case. You're not
the shopper in your household. Some of you are, some of you are
are not, but you still use the products. So take a moment to
pass this information along to the shopper in your household. I think you'll be
glad that you did. MYUSA shop Club dot Com. Visit that website,

around. MYUSA shop club dot Com. Put in your request to get started
today. My USA shop Club dot Com sponsors and advertisers of the toddhuff Show
do not necessarily agree with the views, ideas, and opinions expressed on this
program, but they absolutely should. Yes, Glenn, they absolutely should.
Let's get to this next article here, fakes, fakes, more fakes.
Texas democrat arrested for sending himself bogus racist messages. This is fantastic. What
is it with people making up fake hate crimes? And why are they always
people on the left. When did fake it until you make it become a
rule for Democrats? That's what is written here. This is Ward Clark at
RedState dot com. The latest example comes to us from Texas, where Tral
Patel, a Democrat running for Fort Bend Precinct three Commissioner, had has been
using excuse me, has been arrested for faking racist messages and using an innocent
Fort Bend residence photo has the profile photo for the fake message yes really.
And this is an excerpt from another news source here. A Texas political candidate
has been arrested on charges of sending fake hate messages to himself on social media.
To Rell Patel, the Democratic candidate for Fort ben Precinct three Commissioner,
was arrested by Texas rangers and is being charged with online impersonation in misrepresentation of
identity. Authorities alleged that Patel spent months spent spent months sending a stream of
racist and derogatory comments to himself huh and person hating a supporter of incumbent commission
Republican Commissioner Andy Myers. I mean, this guy is devoted. I gotta
give him. I gotta give him that Terrell uh Terral Patel. He's devoted,
he's committed. He created a fake profile, he grabbed a picture,
apparently grabbed a picture from an innocent residence page. Well that's nice. How
would you like to see that your picture next to a bunch of fake racist
hate mail going to mister Patel. You don't even know what's going on.
You see your picture on social media calling Patel all sorts of racist things,
only to find out of course you knew because you weren't doing it all along,
but you then find out that he was sending these messages to himself.
You know, this should be a case that in social media, look there
is social media is a moral It's not necessarily good or bad. It's what
we do with it. But you know what, my friends, when you
have a culture that is in the toilet, when you have a culture that
is predicated and built upon a worldview that is morally bankrupt, you're going to
see people using these things for bad purposes. And now we're to the point
this guy committed. Maybe, I mean, I think he should make the
best of this. As I think about it, I think he should say,
look, I am so committed to my job as commissioner that I created
a fake social media account because look, we all know that these people down
here in Texas are all racist anyway, they just didn't actually do this.
I was doing a service. I wanted you to see what the people here
were already thinking. They didn't post it, but it's what they were thinking.
Just like Obama when he wrote his memoir, his autobiography whatever, and
he took a conglomeration of women that he had supposedly dated, and he created
one avatar, one particular woman that was not really she didn't exist. She
was a conglomeration of all of these women, which is perfect because you can
just make up whatever stories you want. She represented something. And remember when
Obama he did this, by the way, he really did this. He
made up, made a woman up and she was a conglomeration of all the
women she just represented, and everybody thought, Wow, this is smart,
this is brilliant. I think this guy should embrace it. I think he
should embrace this and say, look, I just had the guts. I
had the guts to throw around the racial slurs. I had the guts to
do it under a fake name and under another person's another person's picture, in
the community who had nothing to do with this, who's probably not branded as
a racist in our community. But that's okay. That's the price you pay
when you're pursuing the greater good, which, of course the greater good is
you people of my community electing me to represent you. But you won't do
it unless I make you feel like you're all racist, because you all are
racist to begin with, and you wouldn't vote for a guy like me.
So it's my job to make it up and to create fake profiles. You
can see how just absolutely focused and dedicated to fulfilling my role as commissioner.
You can see how serious I am about it, so serious in fact,
that I'm prepared to take down individuals in my community falsely under fake pretenses that
they attacked me with racial slurs. Boy, that this is a guy he
might have a chance. I mean, this might be a potential replacement for
Biden on the ticket. I mean, if they need somebody at the convention,
I would say, look, this guy, he has what it takes.
He's proven that he's got the chops. Never let a crisis go to
waste. As Ram Emmanuel told us years ago when he was working with Obama
never let a crisis go to waste. And if you don't have a crisis,
I guess you can completely fabricate one. Make it up. Call your
opponent racist, Call the community, Call the community that you're seeking to get
votes from. Racist. I mean, this is fantastic, and it goes
to expose the stupidity. This is this is what accounts, This is what
amounts to Democrat campaigns today. This is it name calling, right, and
it's any number of things. It's typically racist included in there, almost always
racist, homophobe, transphobe, hater of women. Just I mean all these
things, right. You just you're trying to keep women barefoot and pregnant in
the kitchen. If you're an opponent of a leftist, if you are supporting
genocide in in Gaza, if you support Israel, that's the way that that's
portrayed. If you're a Republican, you hate freedom, you're trying to undermine
our democracy. You're trying to make Trump the king for life. That's again,
you are just dangerous. You're a hate filled, terrible human being.
This is what Democrat campaigns have basically amounted to in recent times. This is
the best they got and now the guy's in the clink. He's in the
clink for out there, going out there and racially assaulting himself online under a
fake person's name and fake a real person's picture apparently, and that poor person
is not funny. It makes me chuckle because this is considered. I guess
these are the sorts of people that get promoted in the Democrat Party. I
mean, I applaud him for his creativity. Here more about it if you
want to read about it on the stack of stuff page. But I have
to take a break. What a cast of characters were dealing with. My
friend sitsin. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am herose
thought of back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. All
these stories of leftists democrats creating fake accounts and fake stories and fake narratives of
people attacking them for their race or whatever, sexuality, whatever it is.
And by the way, to the extent of this stuff happens in real life.
I absolutely condemn this. This should go without saying. But I can
understand that you might think, you know what, we should maybe move past
this idea of having people run for office. Let's have AI. Let's have
Ai run the show, by the way, absolutely terrible idea. I understand
the temptation, though, because this is the kind of stuff that we've seen
happened from people who have embraced the morally bankrupt worldview that is preached by the
radical left, the godless radical left. I got a story here. Ai,
candidate running for parliament in the UK, says AI can humanize politics.
Why not? Why not? We'll get to that here in a second,
my friends. But let me remind you that My Pillow, My Pillow is
still having their twenty five dollars extravaganza. It's a great sale, lots of
items that you will find on their website for twenty five dollars. And and

time we have remaining, which is just a few minutes. AI candidate running
for Parliament in the UK says AI can humanize politics. Voters can talk to
AI Steve, whose name will be on the ballot for the UK's general election
next month, to ask policy questions or to raise concerns. Now, this
guy's name is Steve Indicott Stevendicott and he is leveraging working with AI. This
is what the article says. Artificial intelligence candidate is on the ballot for the
UK's general election next month. AI Steve, represented by Sussek businessman Steve Endicott,
will appear on the ballot alongside non AI candidates running to represent constituents in
the Brighton Pavilion area of Brighton and Hove City on England's southern coast. Endicott
said this AI Steve is the AI copilot. I'm the real politician going into
parliament, but I'm controlled by my co pilot. Indicott is the chairman of
Neural Voice, a company that creates personalized voice assistance for businesses in the form
of an AI avatar. Heck, maybe he's just promoting his business here.
I don't know, but Neural Voices technology is behind AI Steve, one of
the seven characters the company created to showcase is technology. He said. The
idea is to use AI to create a politician who is always around to talk
with constituents and you can take their views into consideration. Do I need to
point this out? Look? I understand AI is powerful. I understand AI.
The potential for AI is almost incomprehensible. I get that. But do
I need to point out that AI Steve is not Steve? Do I need
to point that out? People can ask AI Steve questions or share their opinions
on Indicot's policy on its website. Well, you can already do that.
You can already share your opinions. You can go to the website and put
the information in. You can do that. You could probably send the real
Steve an email. But I guess it sounds better to ask AI Steve questions
in real time. So if he doesn't have a policy, listen to this.
If he doesn't have a policy for pertonarticular issue raised, the AI will
conduct some internet research before engaging the voter and pushing them to suggest a policy.
AI Steve, which is open to the public to try, told NBC
News in response to a question about its stance on Brexit, quote, as
a democracy, the UK voted to leave, and it's my responsibility to implement
and optimize this decision, regardless of my personal views on the matter. So
AI Steve is basically I guess calling the shots here. I don't know.
You know, there's some people that clamor for this stuff. Oh if we
only had if we only had artificial intelligence, if we only had robots,
if we only had somebody who could make these decisions for us. First of
all, first and foremost leadership. While certainly there is a component of being
we talked about Biden's lack of mental abilities. There's certainly a certain amount of
of intelligence required, there's no doubt about it. But leadership is less about
having to figure things out intellectually. It's more about having I'm reminded of the
real leaders in history, people like Winston Churchill, right, people like Reagan,
people like Margaret Thatcher, people who actually led and inspired people. It's
not about mental ability. I was told in high school Hillary should be or
college Hillary should be president because she's the smartest woman in the world. Whatever
that's supposed to even mean, how that's quantified, I don't know. But
we don't need robots running the show. We need principled men and women to
be elected to office to follow Island. This is in overseas, but we
need people to follow the Constitution, not AI, not technocrats. I gotta
go though. My friend's SDG
