WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:04.879 Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.119 not Bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.839 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:33.600 to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.560 All right, my friends, welcome to today's program. You know, I 6 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.439 had to make a decision. I told you I was not able to watch 7 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:50.000 the debates prior to yesterday's program, or the debate singular, I should say 8 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:55.200 so, I had a decision to make prior to coming onto this program today. 9 00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.280 With the limited time that we have available on this program. Well, 10 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.799 there's a lot going on. There's a lot going on behind the scenes, 11 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.719 some of which we've shared with you. We've launched our merch store, which, 12 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:15.359 by the way, by the way, you can go to our online 13 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.959 store. The good bad guy calls it the merch store. That's fine. 14 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.200 Some of you might just want to call it the store or shop or whatever. 15 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.000 We've got all kinds of stuff there, with the new the new logo, 16 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.239 T shirts, hats, hoodies, it's it looks good. He does 17 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.920 a great job on this, but you can go there toddup show dot com 18 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.079 and use promo code listen to save ten percent. And I also said, 19 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.120 I said this earlier in the week that anything that we get along with that 20 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.439 promo code, we're gonna give ten percent of the profits to the Hawaii fire 21 00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:00.159 victims as well. We've got the column that we launched this week on Wednesday 22 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:07.759 that's out there as well. And so we've joined a radio network or radio 23 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.080 group, which I'll tell you more about in due time. That means new 24 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.960 stations and all sorts of things are happening here, and we're growing the team. 25 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.360 That's something else, something else that keeps us quite busy. There's a 26 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.639 lot. I know some people think I just work when I'm on the show 27 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.719 and I'm gonna stout playing golf the rest of the time. That's simply that's 28 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.560 simply not true at all at all. I know I make it look effortless 29 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.120 and easy, my friends, But there's a lot to this, and that's 30 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.840 why also I should mention that while I'm just talking about all the stuff happening 31 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.479 here, the other thing that we've got, the other thing that we've got 32 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.080 but we've been blessed with, is I've got an individual that's become a good 33 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.560 friend of this program who's helped us taken the ad sales portion off my plate. 34 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.879 His name's Crispin. His company as sells Arbiter. He's our acting sales 35 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:06.280 director, vice president of sales. He's done a fabulous job, a fantastic 36 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.919 job, And I would tell you, if you have a business that's wanting 37 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:14.000 to grow your sales team, I'd encourage you to look at Sales Arbiter as 38 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.080 well. They've helped, They've helped every person on our team, and it 39 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.759 has allowed me to step back, and that's why I'm able to do these 40 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.759 other things. But there's still a lot going on. There's still a lot 41 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.639 going by the way, let me finish that. Sales arbitter dot com, 42 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.400 Sales Arbiter dot com, a ARB I T E R. Sales arbiter dot 43 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.039 com. His name's Crispin CRUs. Look him up, look him up. 44 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:44.560 He does great work. Thoroughly impressed with his what he's done, how he's 45 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.000 helped us. But it's allowed me to get into these other things. But 46 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.400 I'm still not able. That's the point. Today. I'm still not able 47 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:59.000 to watch both the debate and Trump's interview with Tucker and so I had to 48 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.639 make it an executive decision. And I have to tell you, as I'm 49 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.080 guessing the majority of you did, maybe even the vast majority, I opted 50 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:15.800 to watch Trump on Tucker Carlson, which is I think symbolically a beautiful thing. 51 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:24.480 I think this is a fantastic Just to juxtapose these two situations, You've 52 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:30.079 got what you have eight Republicans on stage with Fox News, right the Fox 53 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.879 News used to have Tucker Carlson. The Republican debate stage used to have Donald 54 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.279 Trump. Now they pull out of the mix, or in the case of 55 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.879 Tucker, whatever happened there, they terminated that agreement. That was a messy 56 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.360 situation. So now you've got these two groups of people that at the end 57 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.439 of the day, we're going to have to figure out how to work together. 58 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.800 There's no doubt about it. We're going to have to figure out how 59 00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:00.439 to work together with those that we're on that debate stage again without compromising principle, 60 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.079 and without I would say, with also at the same time making sure 61 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.920 that we are opposing their efforts in general, there's exceptions, but opposing their 62 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.240 efforts to try to take a leadership role because of where we stand and what 63 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.759 is necessary. There are still people and I've seen clips and so forth of 64 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.839 the debate, So I don't want you to think I'm not I'm not aware. 65 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.319 From what I saw and from what I can ascertain, it looks like 66 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:35.120 Ramaswamy just killed it. Ramaswamy is the I guess you could say the Trump 67 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.399 of that he's not Trump. I don't mean that that can be considered disrespectful. 68 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:46.240 I don't mean it that way. Just he's coming in with I mean 69 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.839 he was swinging for the fences, right, I mean he was taking strong 70 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:58.079 stances about eliminating parts of the government and challenging people like Chris Christie and kudos, 71 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:06.759 kudos. We have to find a way to work with people who for 72 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.160 the sake of winning elections, my friends, I understand, and I think 73 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.920 this is where the Democrats are better than we are. The Democrats. I've 74 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.279 said this before, the amount of single issue Democrat voters that are out there 75 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.160 today. My dad, for example, just celebrated his birthday this week. 76 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.040 You've heard me say he's the most likable, funny guy. I think, 77 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.319 I know, I know I'm biased, He's my dad, but I think 78 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.000 there's a lot of people that know him that would echo those sentiments. My 79 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.519 dad's a union Democrat, But my dad is not a radical leftist. My 80 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:43.480 dad's not even a liberal. My dad is a common sense conservative human being 81 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.079 who is who votes. When he votes Democrat, or to the degree of 82 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:53.279 which he votes Democrat, he does so because he does so because he is 83 00:06:54.399 --> 00:07:00.800 concerned that Republicans or the Republican Party policies are going to hurt people who are 84 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.120 blue collar workers. Now we can debate that and talk about that and so 85 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:11.120 forth, but that's where he's coming from, and that's just one so's he's 86 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:17.079 a single issue voter on the issue of I would say, maybe maybe unions, 87 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:25.720 organized labor, maybe some policies that he believes Republicans would institute implement that 88 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.759 harm the working class, the blue collar workers, as my dad would probably 89 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.120 describe it. You have the same with the teachers unions. You have this 90 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.959 are people who are in education. They are reasonable people who love this country 91 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.199 and are conservative. I would say, and I don't know that's that's a 92 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.800 bad word for some people to have that applied to them, but I think 93 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.920 it's because they misunderstand. It's just someone who believes, someone who believes that 94 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.720 they, first and foremost are best in control of their life. They need 95 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.680 to be making the decisions that affect them and how they want to live, 96 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.079 and to live in accordance with their conscience, to worship or not worship as 97 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.720 they choose, to be secure in their homes and in their cars, without 98 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.040 government abusing their powers and doing warrantless searches and seizures. All these sorts of 99 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.480 things, right, I mean, the sorts of things that go back to 100 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.480 the founding of this nation. You've got people who are pro choice, which 101 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.320 that's again I'm not defending any of these issues, these single issues that I 102 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:39.840 think these I'm pro life. I'm pro life, and so I'm not defending 103 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.840 the position. But these people are conservative in every other conceivable way. But 104 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.879 yet they vote for Democrats because they believe that Republicans are trying to quote unquote 105 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.279 get into the bedroom of women and tell women what they can do with their 106 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.159 bodies and all this sort of stuff. I don't think any Republican at least 107 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.240 I don't. I don't care what a single woman does with their body, 108 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.919 so long as it doesn't kill the body of another and so these are things 109 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.840 single issue voters flock to the Democrat Party. And it's crazy that if you 110 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.159 look around the table of Democrats like a rank and file, the people who 111 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.840 vote I don't mean the people who are in Washington, because they typically behave 112 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.559 in general, the same sorts of ways. They're dressed, similarly, they 113 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.120 use the same lingo because they strategize about this, I don't mean it. 114 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.960 They look the same as far as gender and race, although that's you know, 115 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:46.480 it's still there. Still is a lot more of that than people sometimes 116 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.600 realize in the Democrat Party. But anyway, that's why they In twenty sixteen, 117 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.120 I used to say, four old white guys in a Clinton. The 118 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.720 party that told us they were all about skin deep superficiality and diversity. Just 119 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.440 on the skin level. All they could provide for us was four old white 120 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.679 guys in a Clinton. Of course, my favorite old white guy was sexy 121 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.279 sexy sexy Martin O'Malley boy. I miss mentioning that nickname. That's been the 122 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.639 one of all the nicknames I've given. I think that's the one that seems 123 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.440 to get the most favorable response. And there was a reason I called him 124 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.120 that. By the way he wasn't. He was pulling it like one percent. 125 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.639 I don't think people even knew who he was. And then one day 126 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.360 he decided to go shirtless in a beach or on a beach in Maryland, 127 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.759 and suddenly his popularity skyrocketed. Now it went to like two or three percent, 128 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.879 but he doubled or tripled is the polling results that he had been getting. 129 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.759 And so that's why I called him sexy, sexy, sexy, And 130 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.840 you gotta put the emphasis on the last sexy Martin O'Malley, because that's when 131 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.799 he became relevant. Well, it still wasn't relevance. It was a momentary 132 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.799 blip on the radar. Of course, we knew how that story was ending 133 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.039 anyway. That was you talk about a rigged election. That was the rigged 134 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.559 primary of twenty sixteen, which I would contend with, was followed by the 135 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:15.120 rigged Democrat primary of twenty twenty. Right, the power brokers said they wanted 136 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.000 Hillary and sixteen the power brokers said that they wanted Joe Biden. In twenty 137 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.279 twenty. Although it's a head scratcher, he is the best. He is 138 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.879 the best in the minds thinking about that, he's the best option and the 139 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.120 minds of the people making decisions for the Democrat Party that if you just simply 140 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.639 accept that reality on its own, you can understand why they're going at Trump 141 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:41.240 with everything they've got, because the opposition to Trump is a much more attractive 142 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:48.559 reason for these leftists or even for the mind numb rank and file disinformation low 143 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.919 information voters Rush used to call them. It's more attractive to them to be 144 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.799 pushed away from Trump than to be pulled toward Biden. Right, That's how 145 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.039 the campaign was running twenty twenty twenty, and I would suspect that that sounds 146 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.320 going to be running twenty sixteen or excu me twenty twenty four as well. 147 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.279 Biden hyden in the closet and the basement, wherever he can hide, wherever 148 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.919 he's not going to face plan on the stage or have to walk up the 149 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.360 stairs to air Force one, or have to tell stories about his kitchen fire 150 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.120 to people who lost families and homes in MAUI just atrocious some of this stuff 151 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.559 that happens. Anyway, So I watched this debate, or not debate, 152 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.159 but this conversation with Trump. I chose that over the debates, Although there 153 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.120 were things that I'm definitely that have piqued my interest in curiosity during the debates. 154 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.840 But it is it's a contrast. It's such a stark contrast between and 155 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.720 I think it's symbolically perfect. You got again Trump and Tucker versus Fox and 156 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.759 the establishment candidates, and I it is mind boggling to me, my truly 157 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.200 mind boggling to me. And I'm gonna put vvak Ramaswami in a little bit 158 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:11.639 different category because from what I've seen, he really kicked heinie during the debate 159 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.200 on Wednesday night. So I think, I actually think he's doing a lot 160 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.840 of good things. He's he's I think, squaring up to be maybe the 161 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.799 future, a future candidate in the Republican Party. Some people think maybe Trump 162 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.720 will consider him as VP. I don't. I think. Look, I 163 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:35.000 don't like to make these predictions this far out, but I think someone to 164 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.879 keep your eye on would be carry Lake. That's just just me. I 165 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.279 know Trump has made comments in the past about wanting someone that's good on television 166 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.440 and so forth, so of course, she was a television news anchor. 167 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.240 She's a phenomenal communicator. You may not like her personally. I think She's 168 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.360 a pitbull and a fighter. She is articulate, she is fearless, she 169 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.120 is so much. She is like Trump in a lot of ways, but 170 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.440 yet maintains her own personality. She's not mimicking the hand gestures and the style. 171 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:15.440 She's actually I think instead, I think she's inspired by the opposition that 172 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:20.039 Trump has taken, and she's you know, adapted that to her own personality. 173 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:26.360 Anyway, So you've got these these this dueling situation. Why would someone 174 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:35.559 folks, If there is, if there is one unifying force in this political 175 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.879 climate we're in, it is that everybody, everybody is mad at the establishment. 176 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.600 Now, I will point something out to you. I will point something 177 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.360 out to you. Congress always polls incredibly low, right, Their favorability is 178 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.200 typically I think around ten percent, give or take around that area. It's 179 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.720 terribly low. But yet incumbents get reelected constantly, and so there is an 180 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.120 ex nation for that. And let me give you what that is. The 181 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:09.480 explanation is people hate Congress, but they hate other people's members of Congress, 182 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:15.639 and so they elect the person that they think is best suited to advance their 183 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.120 priorities and agenda and so forth. But yet you have someone else in another 184 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:26.279 district. Let's say you're in Central Oklahoma and you elect a conservative Republican, 185 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:33.720 right, but then you've got someone in Berkeley, California who's electing a radical 186 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.360 leftist lunatic, and so they get together and the only things that get done, 187 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.519 well, it seems like the only thing that gets done is there is 188 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.360 radical growth in government, but yet it cost us more and it provides less 189 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.000 services. So everybody's ticked off about it. Conservatives are ticked off because the 190 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.519 government's growing. The left's ticked off because they're still not getting enough, as 191 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.039 they think, from somebody else. And so everybody's ticked off. But they're 192 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.000 ticked off at a nameless, faceless Congress in general, and not their actual 193 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:14.320 rep In fact, they often will reelect that person in Congress, but there 194 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.399 is in general. The larger point is, in general, everybody's ticked and 195 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.720 upset at Washington, DC. I mean both sides of the out they mean 196 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.000 different things. And that's why I talked about the Congress example, because it 197 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:32.639 means different things to different people. In fact, sometimes it polar opposite. 198 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.759 But they are ticked off at the establishment, they are ticked off at politicians. 199 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.720 It goes again to the song. If you haven't heard it, which 200 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.759 almost all of you probably have, but Richmond North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony, 201 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:53.720 it's all over youtubes. It's number the YouTube's is number one on iTunes, 202 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:59.240 I think where it was number one skyrocketed. The guy turned away an 203 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.840 eight million dollars radio deal or a music label deal and so forth, all 204 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:14.559 that stuff to pursue well to voice his true opinion on the condition of this 205 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.519 country, right, That's what he did, and people from all walks of 206 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.759 life are attracted to that. I wrote about it in this week's column, 207 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.680 which you can get it's free tiedushow dot com. I'd get into it into 208 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.160 a lot more detail there, but I think there's a lot of agreement in 209 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.079 this country, and being upset at the establishment is one of those things at 210 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:40.000 the top of the list. And the problem is the problem is for these 211 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.559 other Republicans. That's why Trump was brilliant here again as usual, those other 212 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.039 eight Republicans by being on that stage, by definition, they are again the 213 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:53.559 politicians. They are again the establishment again. I carve out a caveat for 214 00:17:53.640 --> 00:18:00.079 vveck Ramaswami because because of how he handled that the eight stage last night, 215 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:06.279 and maybe others can work there too. But folks, you've got establishment people 216 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.599 with Fox News that a lot of conservatives have had enough with because of how 217 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.519 they've dealt with people like Tucker Carlson, because of how they've handled some some 218 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:21.039 other issues pertending to election integrity. Fox is not. People act like Fox 219 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.759 is the conservative bastion of hope. That's not what Fox is. And that's 220 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.960 okay. I don't hate Fox or anything. In fact, the guys that 221 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.160 interviewed us on Fox I thought were some of the nicest people I'd ever dealt 222 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.960 with. Mike Tobin, I forget the gym was a producer. I'm drawn 223 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:42.880 a blank, but I just they're good people, right the heat those were 224 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.920 I'm not saying the executives. But the point is everybody's ticked at the establishment. 225 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.920 And so it's not a surprise that Trump and Tucker draw all of this 226 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.000 attention. And here Trump is yet again brilliantly carving his own path back to 227 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:03.359 the nomination using this interview for Tucker. And if you haven't seen it, 228 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.000 I'm going to post that link. And there won't be much on the show 229 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.759 stack of stuff today on the website because a lot of it was just watching 230 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:17.759 these portions of the debate and also this interview with Trump the Tucker had anyway, 231 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:18.880 but I want to play some clips of both of these things today, 232 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.559 time permitting. But that's what we're up against. We are dealing with again. 233 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:30.440 Both parties have a fight between the establishment, the political elite, and 234 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:37.720 an ideological base of some sort. The Democrat Party's fight is between the radical 235 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.960 left. And there's actually three, I think groups in the Democrat Party, 236 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:47.200 the radical left, the establishment politicians, and then the rank and file Democrats 237 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:53.000 who are still still somehow convinced that their party is not insane and completely off 238 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.519 the rails. And the Republican Party. You've got the establishment Republicans, and 239 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:03.000 you've got the limited government people, the conservatives, the libertarian types, whatever 240 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.200 that umbrella is that says, hey, we don't want more of the same. 241 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.160 We don't want more lip service, we don't want more rhinos. We 242 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.359 don't want more people who are gonna, you know, nod and have a 243 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:22.640 little certain look on their face, who fit the definition of politician. We 244 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:27.160 want someone who's going to go in and actually begin to try to eradicate the 245 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.839 problem, which is massive, which is why there's an appeal to Trump. 246 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.440 We've been through this a lot, and I'm super long in this segment. 247 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.599 Timeouts in order sit time. My friend's next segment will be truncated. I 248 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:44.079 violated my New Year's resolution by being long in this segment. But quick time 249 00:20:44.119 --> 00:21:00.319 out back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friend. And 250 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:07.960 so we are. I'm actually queuing up. I've got several sound bites I 251 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:15.920 want to play from the Trump interview on Tucker Carlson. Okay, so this 252 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:22.319 is there, we go, Yes, yes, we've got this queued up. 253 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:30.279 So okay, So Tucker is talking with Trump. He's talking with Trump, 254 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:34.279 and he's basically painting. I mean, it's a lot of the things 255 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.240 that we talk about on here, right. I mean, they've they've gone 256 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:45.359 after Trump since day one. They have completely thrown everything at him. I 257 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:52.000 mean, from spying on his campaign to impeachment one impeachment to Russian collusion. 258 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.920 Trump is a you know, let's invoke the twenty fifth Amendment all this stuff, 259 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.200 right, it was, and then of course, what's happened in the 260 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:04.640 wake of his departure. So, but Tucker directly asks him, you know, 261 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:11.400 if they are this intent on stopping you? Isn't this the next step? 262 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.000 I want you to hear the question and the response from Well, the 263 00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:25.480 question from Tucker, the response from Trump. Here it is it all and 264 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.799 then one there. It started with protests against you, massive protests, organized 265 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.559 protests by the left, and then it moved to impeachment twice and now indictment. 266 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.839 I mean the next stage is violence. Is are you worried that they're 267 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.680 going to try and kill you? Why wouldn't they try and kill you? 268 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.599 Honestly, they're savage animals. They are people that are sick, really sick. 269 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.480 You have great people in the Democrat Party. You have great people that 270 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.759 are Democrats. Most of the people in our country are fantastic. And I'm 271 00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.960 representing everybody. I'm not just Republicans, a great I represent everybody of the 272 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.559 President, of everybody. But I've seen what they do. I've seen the 273 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.559 lengths that they go to when they make up the Russia Russia, Russia, 274 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.480 and when that's exposed and they go down, and bar should have gone after 275 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.279 them, and other people should have gone after and they did very late. 276 00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:17.839 Because the Durham report came out. It was fairly good. It could have 277 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:18.960 been a lot tougher, I guess, but it was fairly good, but 278 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.559 it explained how corrupt it was. I'll tell you who did a great job 279 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:27.680 was the Inspector General Harrowitz. He did a phenomenal report. You didn't have 280 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.200 to go to door. He did it on Komi and I guess McCabe and 281 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.039 some others, and it was a vicious heart. It was basically a true 282 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.640 report how bad they are. But these people are sick people. These are 283 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.079 people that I think they hate our country. You want to know the truth. 284 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.079 When you see open borders, when you see these policies that they have, 285 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:53.119 and so many other things, it's so sad to see. You know, 286 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.200 we have a country that's very fragile right now. I've never seen, 287 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.680 I will say, look policies that they have. And you know, anytime 288 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.519 I have Trump on here, well like sound bite from Trump, it's always 289 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.799 it's always tricky to know where to stop it because it just goes on. 290 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.240 So I stopped it there because you know, he starts getting into the Durham 291 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:22.039 Report, he starts getting into the to other reports and so forth. But 292 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:27.519 what he hits on there I think is exactly true, and it's it echoes 293 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:34.559 a lot of what we've been saying on this program. There are evil people. 294 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.079 There are evil people who are enemies of this country. They hate this 295 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:45.559 country, and some of them have attained great positions of authority or positions of 296 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:52.079 political power. Some of these folks work as elected representatives. Some of these 297 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.640 folks work as bureaucrats. Some of these folks work in your child school district. 298 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.920 Some of the these folks, I mean, they work in positions of 299 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:08.680 power, maybe at a university. Again, think the four pillars of deceit 300 00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:15.240 as Rush used to call them, academia, media, government, Rush says 301 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:22.160 science, I throw in entertainment. But these are folks who have influence or 302 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.200 some sort of power to institute rules, or to manipulate people, or to 303 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:34.759 silence opinions on social media, big tech, so forth. And sometimes they 304 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.839 can just run amok. Now, sometimes they are led by the people who 305 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.480 want these objectives that are contrary to the will of the people. There's no 306 00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:48.240 doubt, but sometimes in fact. There's another part in this interview where Tucker 307 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:49.640 asked Trump, I don't know that we'll be able to get to it. 308 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.200 But he asked him, he said, can you you know, do you 309 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.519 think you're gonna be able to rein in the CIA, the FBI, these 310 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:02.319 these organizations that are part of the executive branch, but that are doing these 311 00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:06.799 things that are sometimes even outside of the knowledge of the President. As terrifying 312 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.039 as that sounds, because he asked him, did you even know? And 313 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:14.279 Trump basically said, no, we didn't, We didn't know. And just 314 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:19.119 think about that. We have created a bureaucratic, bureaucratic state now that is 315 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:25.119 operating virtually the same, no matter who's in office, what they're being instructed, 316 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.640 what the leadership is, the priority is, the objections are. But 317 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.480 there are evil people. Now I don't mean every person in a position like 318 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.720 that is evil, but there certainly are, and they are prepared to do 319 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:41.240 whatever it takes to further their agenda, their worldview and so forth. But 320 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:44.920 as Trump sat here and I don't want to overlook this, this is critically 321 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.160 important, he says, there's a you know, a lot of good people 322 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:55.240 in the Democrat Party. I think sometimes Republicans I mentioned earlier, how Democrats, 323 00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.519 excuse me, are good and having single issue voters. You may agree 324 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:03.599 with the Dinner Party on one issue and they will say you're part of this 325 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.160 family, even though the person across from you, I mean, you've got 326 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:12.000 you've got the trans the transigenda movement, You've got you know, organized labor. 327 00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:18.559 You've got environmentalist whackos as Rush would have called them. You've got all 328 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.000 these groups that in many ways have nothing in common. The pro abortion crowd, 329 00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:29.279 right, the radical communists, they're all in this group, and yet 330 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:37.480 there's they somehow can get them to vote Democrat, even though they have so 331 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.720 much the normal people in that group, say, say, people who are 332 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.440 laborers, you know, blue I don't even like using these terms that people 333 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.400 who are blue collar workers. There's human beings. But the people who are 334 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.599 members of unions, they have so much more in common with me than they 335 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:57.319 have with the radical leftist a communist. And I know that there are certainly 336 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.680 people in the unions that want to make it a communist movement. But most 337 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.599 of these guys just are there to take care of their families. They're not 338 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.279 there for some ideological struggle in the workplace. They're just trying to do their 339 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.000 job, do their job, earn a living, to care their families, 340 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:22.319 provide take vacations, enjoy their lives, help their children get a leg up 341 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.160 on them. That's what happened to me. I mean, that's how I 342 00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.799 was raised, right, and so many of you can can relate to that, 343 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.640 I'm sure. But there are good people in the Democrat Party. It's 344 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:37.240 it's a certain subset. But they're people that are doing these things going after 345 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:45.279 Trump have the power, and they are manipulative and evil and duplicitus scoundrels, 346 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.839 I might say. To the point now where Tucker Cross and literally had to 347 00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:56.640 ask the former president of the United States if he was essentially afraid or concerned 348 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:03.720 or thinking about the possibility that some of these lunatics would engage in possibly the 349 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.839 highest form of violence against him. So timeouts in order sit tight, my 350 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.400 friends, so much more to get to we obviously won't get to it all. 351 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.559 Put the link to this show, this interview with Tucker on our show 352 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.039 notes excuse me, and our stack of stuff on the website Todd Huffshow dot 353 00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:22.119 com. Just go to the stack of stuff for today, August twenty fourth 354 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.319 and you can check it out. Quick time out though, my friends back 355 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:37.880 in back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends again. We 356 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:48.039 had kind of dueling Wednesday night. We had dueling narratives or dueling realities. 357 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.079 In a sense, we had the reality that says that the establishment Republican Party 358 00:29:53.039 --> 00:30:00.200 is still involved in determining who its nominee is. And of course, in 359 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.960 the sane world, that is how that would I mean, that is how 360 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:11.319 that would work. However, however, that's not the case when the candidate, 361 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:21.160 the candidate that is running, the candidate that is leading, the former 362 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:32.240 president is actually not on your debate stage. And so you got that two 363 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:36.519 diametrically opposed groups, not diametrically posts. We're gonna have to figure how to 364 00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:41.279 work together. But we have two versions of how you get to the presidency. 365 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.720 One is the old school way. That is, again I'm not saying 366 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.960 it shouldn't matter. I am saying I am saying that it shouldn't matter. 367 00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:57.920 It shouldn't matter what we're up against a little bit more. And Republican, 368 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:07.160 the Republican Party as a whole is just refused, just refused to embrace questions 369 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:15.759 about election integrity. They've refused to really as a group. Now there are 370 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:22.960 of course individuals who are exceptions to this, but in general, my friends, 371 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:29.400 they haven't come out in full force. Remember Cassidy Senator Cassidy from Louisiana 372 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.799 came out and said Trump should not be the nominee. He should drop out 373 00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:41.000 of the race because of these indictments. They look the establishment doesn't like Trump 374 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.960 anymore than the left, well maybe a little bit more. They're embarrassed by 375 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:51.480 him. They don't like that he can get the nomination without them, and 376 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.720 we're again, we'll have to find a way to get to get together on 377 00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:59.079 this. Once Trump is, I believe, in inevitably going to be the 378 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:05.279 nominee, even if he's God forbid and jail or something, which I'm not 379 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.039 saying is going to happen, but it certainly could put nothing past these jokers 380 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:15.440 and clowns and evildoers, duplicitous people here that are just pretending like they're doing 381 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:22.519 justice when in reality they're making this a banana republic anyway. So that's what 382 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:28.440 was on display Wednesday night. Lots of people watch Tucker. Was it forty? 383 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:30.200 I think someone texted me forty. I don't want to say the number. 384 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.720 I want to confirm it. But lots of people watch the debate that 385 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:42.079 Trump had with Tucker. I would think it pulled a ton of people away 386 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.440 from the debate, and then of course the person that runs away with the 387 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:51.400 debate is vvak Ramaswamy, who's out there basically parroting and I don't mean that 388 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.599 in a bad way, but saying the same sorts of things that Trump's been 389 00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:59.680 saying. So the person you have Trump on Tucker, who's pulling your audience 390 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:05.359 away, who's taking away some of the I guess power of the Republican party 391 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:09.519 itself, then that you got your actual debate where people are trying to work 392 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.119 with the Republicans in the traditional process, and the guy, the guy that's 393 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:22.200 on stage there is also kind of an outsider, is basically challenging everything that 394 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.480 the party and most of those other people on that stage agree with. And 395 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.440 you know, there's reasons for it. There's reasons that that's how this is 396 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:37.640 shaken out. But at the end of the day, what matters is that 397 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.960 we as people who care about this country, who are not radical, insane 398 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:47.400 leftists, we have to be able to get to the point where we can 399 00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:52.920 where we can still win this election. And we're gonna have to draw folks. 400 00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:57.400 There's gonna be Republicans who are never Trumpers. That's just gonna be the 401 00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.720 case. I don't know how they can reconcile that in their minds. But 402 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:06.400 okay, but there's also going to be rank and file Democrats that are going 403 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.400 to vote for Trump. Trump, there are, and we have to embrace 404 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:15.480 that. And that's why this concept of not viewing the other side as just 405 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:22.000 all part of the being the enemy here, it's a small faction of that 406 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:27.719 group. It's a small faction, a small vocal faction, a small faction 407 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:34.480 that is magnified, amplified their voices profoundly in ways that do not represent or 408 00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:39.920 i should say, align in any way with reality. So that's where we 409 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:43.400 are. I get other sound bites here. I'd like to play from this 410 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.519 interview the Trump had with Tucker. But I'm gonna take a break here. 411 00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.800 A quick time out is in order. My friends sit tight. You're listening 412 00:34:52.800 --> 00:35:05.239 to conservative, not better talk. I'm your host to back in a minute. 413 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:07.480 I'll get back to my friends. So much to pull from this interview 414 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:13.239 again, I'll put the whole thing on our stack of Stuff page on the 415 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:17.880 website Toddhufshow dot com. But here's Trump just again comparing gets kind of summarizing 416 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.280 what's what's going on. One of the places in this interview. Towards the 417 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.239 end, he goes and I don't have a pulled up here again, there's 418 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:30.320 it's just a lot of information that that's good. But he talks about really 419 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:34.039 what was being asked or what he had hoped Pence would do, which Pence 420 00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:39.480 did not do. Pence did not do. But to just outright arbitrarily decide 421 00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:45.599 Trump was president is not what Trump and his team were asking Pence to do. 422 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:51.199 They were asking him to send back votes electoral votes to states that there 423 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:57.679 were questions about, which seems totally reasonable. By the way. I think 424 00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.880 I think Trump's right about this whole thing. I do. I think Pence 425 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.960 is the one that didn't follow through right, you know. I just think 426 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.199 maybe he didn't agree, and I can I can see that because there was 427 00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:15.599 always an issue on this particularly how to view that the role of the vice 428 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:20.280 president. But be that as it made to act like Trumps arbitrarily was ready 429 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.119 to throw this election out the window is not at all. It's misrepresented. 430 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:30.480 But just listen to him kind of summarize the support, the feel, the 431 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.800 movement, and so forth. Here we got millions and millions more votes, 432 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:37.800 you know it wasn't even a contest. People said, well, what do 433 00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:39.360 you think of twenty I said, we did much better. We did. 434 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:43.360 We got to base it on the number of votes. We got many more 435 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:46.280 votes in twenty than we did in sixteen. But the election was rigged. 436 00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.800 It was a rigged election. But and with COVID. They used COVID to 437 00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:52.679 cheating a lot of different things. And we have so much on it. 438 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.320 It's like, don't forget so easy. But we had judges that didn't want 439 00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.920 to look. We had people didn't want to get involved. They could. 440 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.599 He's a conspiracy theorist if you say anything about the election. But I have 441 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.320 never seen spirit like there is right now, even coming down here, just 442 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:15.199 at the people on the road that are just absolutely going crazy. And the 443 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.559 reason is, I think they like me, and I know they love my 444 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:21.079 policies. I hope they liked me too. You know a lot of people 445 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:22.119 say they don't like me, but they like my boy. I think they 446 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:28.000 liked me. But I have never seen spirit like it is right now. 447 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:31.599 And the reason is because Crooked Joe Biden is so bad. He's the worst 448 00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:36.800 president in the history of our country. I don't think I have to stop 449 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.920 it just for the second time. But again, I think one of the 450 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.760 things for those who act like Trump can't win and all that, I think 451 00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:52.280 we forget because Trump's not been He's going to be thrust back into the limelight 452 00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:58.760 here when he's out doing this on a regular basis, just at stump speeches, 453 00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:04.400 at rows, on whatever social media platforms he decides to use, which 454 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.599 I know he's doing some of that, but when it becomes front and center 455 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:14.360 for everyone to see, it is compelling to listen to the guy, especially 456 00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.519 when you're comparing it with a guy who can't finish the sentence and Joe Biden 457 00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:35.239 timeouts in order, my friends, sit tight back in a minute. Wellcome 458 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.519 back, my friends. I will tell you now at the end of the 459 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:45.519 program here that I am working sans Oz. Sans Oz today without oz Oz 460 00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:52.800 is not able to be here today, and I feel it on those days 461 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.480 I do. It's a lot to a lot to manage back here, I 462 00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:00.480 can tell you that. So not complaining, just sharing with you the folks. 463 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:04.280 We are in a position now, this election, of course, is 464 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:09.519 huge. It's gonna start again. We're gonna start brick by brick, rekindling 465 00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:15.559 what we had before with Trump as far as communication, and it's gonna change 466 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.599 this debate. It's gonna the folks on that debate stage for the Republican Party 467 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.480 are in for a root awakening, I think. But anyway, my friends, 468 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.639 I've gotta go have a great weekend. SDG.
