00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.320
Attention. You're listening to the Tod
Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.560
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.320
documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean

4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:34.079
to the right. Here's your conservative
but not bitter host, Todd Huff.

5
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.359
That is right. Thank you for
that absolutely splendid introduction, Glenn. It's

6
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.240
my pleasure to be here today,
my friends. You know, the routine

7
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.719
thoughts, questions, feedback, adoration
and praise can all be sent to Todd

8
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.520
at toddhoffshow dot com or three one
seven one zero twenty eight thirty. That's

9
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.679
where you can text or even leave
a message if you prefer. You need

10
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.159
to do better at playing some of
those, but nonetheless you can do that

11
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.519
here. I call it the Huff
Hotline, and I welcome your feedback,

12
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.799
but again, be sure to include
the appropriate amounts of adoration and praise if

13
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:23.519
you want to be part of what
we are talking about here today. So

14
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:30.359
so so so I want to today. There's several things in the stack of

15
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.480
stuff that I want to get to
here. Did you know, my friends,

16
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:44.560
that inflation since Biden took office in
January of twenty twenty one. I

17
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.319
know it seems like it's been forty
years, forty years since the guy has

18
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.560
been in office, but it's been
about three and a half. We've somehow

19
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.079
stumbled and stammered our way to this
point in time. We've survived. We

20
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.920
see the election on the horizon.
We're talking about debates. In fact,

21
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.439
we've got a debate here scheduled in
about six weeks, is that right?

22
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.879
Six weeks I think the end of
June. So, but since Biden has

23
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.039
been in office, the cumulative inflation
rate, because anytime you hear the inflation

24
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:24.479
rate, it's for a twelve month
period. It's so when April's inflation rate

25
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.919
came out and it was three point
four percent, we just talked about this.

26
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.120
It comes out about two weeks after
the end of the of the month

27
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:42.360
that they're tabulating and calculating the inflation
rate for it's normally well, under Biden,

28
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.120
it's been as high as what's the
highest been. This has been nine

29
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.159
percent or something, I think,
and then it's now three point four.

30
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.840
In March it was three point five
percent, but that's for the previous twelve

31
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.599
months, that's for the year.
The previous twelve months ending on April thirtieth.

32
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:06.000
That's what the last inflation numbers were, so May one, twenty twenty

33
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.560
three through April thirty, two thousand
and twenty four. But if you take

34
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.879
all of that, all of that
cumulative increase from the time Biden took office,

35
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.080
inflation has hit twenty percent. Twenty
percent. Now that's not the again

36
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:24.680
the year over year inflation, right, I want to be clear, is

37
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.080
the cumulative effect of what living under
Bidenomics is. And I want to talk

38
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.199
about that. I want to talk
about You won't believe if you haven't seen

39
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:42.719
this what Governor Newsom has blamed his
state budget shortfall on. I mean,

40
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.639
you could conjure a guess and you
might be close, you may even hit

41
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.680
it. But I've got that in
the stack of stuff. Biden, by

42
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.800
the way, is falsely claiming when
he took office, and I'll get to

43
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.159
this as well, that inflation was
already at nine percent. That's not correct,

44
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.439
factually incorrect. Some other things out
there as well. Peru, by

45
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:11.240
the way, is classified transgender,
non binary and intersects people as mentally ill.

46
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.240
So we'll get to these things and
more in the stack of stuff,

47
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.519
and I've got a story. I
don't know if I'll do that in this

48
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.199
particular hour, but a story that
I might share as well. But before

49
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.360
we kick off, my friends,
let me remind you that we need your

50
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.480

you, in order for you to vote

51
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:35.279
to save this republic, you need
to stay healthy. And so one of

52
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:42.199
the ways you can do that is
to take supplements, natural health supplements to

53

is a brand that's formulated by doctor Zolinko,

62
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.759
You know, actually there's one other
thing I want to mention that I

63
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:39.399
want to hit on either in this
hour or another hour of the program here,

64
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:46.720
but there is MSNBC forgot to say
this off the top MSNBC. In

65
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.639
fact, I think I want to
start here forgot to say this. I

66
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.079
actually love this. This is in
the stack of stuff. There's a black

67
00:05:55.079 --> 00:06:02.000
Trump supporter in Georgia. He is
approached by MSNBC sitting here kind of as

68
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.959
a panelist, if you will,
being asked they have Trump supporters. I

69
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.079
thought she said there were five,
but I guess there might have only been

70
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.839
three. But regardless, she this
journt well, the so called journalist on

71
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:26.040
MSNBC, is asking them questions,
and she asks them a question about the

72
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:33.079
impact that the hush money trial has
had on their support for President Donald Trump.

73
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:39.120
And this, this is this is
fantastic. This is absolutely fantastic.

74
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:46.759
I think she's she the reporter here. I believe she is on with Chuck

75
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.000
Todd. I don't see Chuck Todd
on the clip, but I think I

76
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:58.279
hear his voice. I think he's
got a program at at MSNBC. This

77
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:04.800
correspondent, this quote unquote journalist.
Her name is Blaine, Alexander Blaine Alexander.

78
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:11.360
So she's she goes to Georgia.
She gets some Trump supporters together in

79
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.480
a room and she begins to ask
them, what do you think about Trump?

80
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.079
Especially after these legal cases and all
of that. I want you to

81
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.800
hear this exchange, because this,
my friends, is the sort of thing

82
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.879
that gets me going in the morning. Love. I absolutely love this,

83
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.839
this sort of thing, This sort
of thing is just perfect. This guy,

84
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:41.079
if I knew his address, his
name is Antonio what Antonio Jones.

85
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.879
If I knew his address, I
probably would send him a In fact,

86
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.879
they got a todd Have Show's shirt
on. I'd send him a shirt or

87
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.519
something. This guy, this guy
needs to be rewarded for what he says

88
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:57.879
here, because this journalist's mind has
to be about to explode on MSNBC.

89
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.639
Listen to this exchange. This is
absolutely fantastic. Well, guys, good

90
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.000
morning to you. You know,
this is one of the most closely watched

91
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.399
counties here in the key battleground state
of Georgia. So it seemed like the

92
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.839
perfect place to come out and talk
to Republican voters and see all of the

93
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.639
coverage all of the things that we're
talking about with this New York hush money

94
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.160
trial? How is it impacting them
down here? So I spoke with about

95
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.800
five different Republicans and they represent a
very wide cross section, a very diverse

96
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.199
group of Republican voters here in this
county, and I ask them, how

97
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.519
are they being impacted by this trial? Are they paying close attention? And

98
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.039
what impact might a guilty verdict have
on their decision to support the former president.

99
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.639
Here's what they told me, Las
this is fantastic. Antonia, do

100
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.159
each of you support Donald Trump?
I do, yes, yes, yes,

101
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.559
for all three of you. Has
this trial changed your opinion even caused

102
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:50.480
you to waiver or question that at
all? Antonia here is actually caused me

103
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.600
to support him more. I just
don't believe that's a coincidence that we have

104
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.519
a trial happening in Atlanta we have
one happening in York. So the question

105
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.000
people are beginning to ask themselves,
like I did, is like why now

106
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.000
it's pretty much your right says they're
picking up. Okay, so now there's

107
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.559
another that was Antonio. He tells
the journalist, No, no, actually

108
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.879
it hasn't. In fact, if
I'm getting down to brass tacks, it's

109
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.399
actually caused me to support him.
Even more, they they, I mean,

110
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.840
this makes the left's minds, well
what's left of their of their minds

111
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.000
explode. So Antonio, well done, my friend. In fact, if

112
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.639
someone knows Antonio uh and can connect
us, I'm going to send him something.

113
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:48.279
But anyway, this is I mean
fantastic stuff, absolutely fantastic, fantastic

114
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:56.039
stuff. It is to me when
I watched the implosion of this worldview,

115
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:05.440
this ideology that has been cramm down
our throats, this godless worldview, morally

116
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.559
bankrupt worldview that is perpetrated by the
radical left they have hijacked and taken over

117
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.519
today's Democrat Party, when I see
this completely collapse, because it is an

118
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.480
ideology, a worldview that is built
upon the sinking sand. There is nothing

119
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.200
here, in fact, in the
stack of stuff. You all remember that

120
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:35.000
executive at NPR, that leftist running
NPR. I found something, I think

121
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.679
on bon Gino. This is about
a month old, but she's given a

122
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:45.480
Ted talk or something very similar to
that, and she's basically lecturing the audience

123
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:50.039
about the subjectivity of truth, which
is again one component, just one component

124
00:10:50.080 --> 00:11:03.799
of the absolutely morally bankrupt and just
logically unsound component of the left's radical worldview,

125
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:09.519
and it's collapsing upon itself. It's
collapsing upon itself, and it is

126
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.440
a beautiful thing to behold. Now
what do I mean by that? Do

127
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.320
you remember back in two thousand and
eight. I remember this for those of

128
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.159
you that this is a long time
ago for some people who are newer to

129
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.440
politics. But two thousand and eight, that's been. G whiz, that

130
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.159
has been. We're approaching twenty years
sixteen years ago. That is just hard

131
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:35.720
to believe. But Obama won that
election, of course, and some publication

132
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.279
I forget who it was. It
might have been the New York Times,

133
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:43.120
it might have been the Washington Post. Somebody reached out to the late great

134
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:52.200
Rush Limbaugh and they asked him to
write something, to write what their hopes

135
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.399
were for an Obama administration, and
he said, I don't need that.

136
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.480
They gave him a certain number of
words. I don't know if it was

137
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.919
eight hundred or thousand was and he
said, I don't need that many.

138
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.960
I need four. I need four
words. I hope he fails. And

139
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.399
people lost their minds over this.
People lost why you had you racist?

140
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.360
Because you want the first black president
to fail. No, everybody knew what

141
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.879
the man meant. What he meant
was the things that he is saying on

142
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:28.480
the campaign trail, the person in
the the the ideas that he embraces,

143
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:35.200
the things that he wants to make
America become. I hope he fails at

144
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.399
that at that objective. That's what
Rush was saying. Rush was not saying

145
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.600
he hopes America fails. In fact, from Russia's perspective, America was failing

146
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:54.159
by choosing a man to implement an
agenda that went against the founding principles of

147
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.919
this nation. Rush viewed that as
a threat. I view that as a

148
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.399
threat. Many of you view that
as a threat. And so when I

149
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.279
say, when I say, it
is a glorious thing to behold the collapse

150
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.840
of a worldview that we have been
told is the way that America should go.

151
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:22.080
When the seven pillars are propaganda,
have all been communicating, messaging in

152
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:30.879
unison, the pillars of media,
academia, the pillars of big tech,

153
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:39.639
of woke business, of science,
entertainment. These folks continually pushed the narrative

154
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.559
upon us that says, this is
the direction America needs to go. And

155
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.440
that's what we've been doing as a
country. That's what we've been doing that.

156
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:56.720
We haven't had conservatism running this nation
for a long long time. A

157
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:03.360
long long time. People act as
though George W. Bush was enacting conservative

158
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.960
policies across the board. While there's
certainly were some, I don't want to

159
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:15.919
say that there weren't. Government has
consistently been growing, Government has consistently been

160
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:24.240
given more and more authority power.
We've had less liberty, we have less

161
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.000
money because again inflation, which is
a direct impact. It is the sole

162
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:35.200
responsibility of the federal government anyway.
So it's a beautiful thing to behold.

163
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.879
It is fantastic to watch, not
because I'm cheering against my country, because

164
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.080
I want people to see the truth. By virtue of chasing this utopian nonsense,

165
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.759
that is the path that's actually put
us into danger. People have been

166
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:56.120
lulled asleep, and I'm just happy
that there are lots of people like Antonio

167
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.480
out there who seem to understand what
is going on. So more to say

168
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.879

Todd. So I had mentioned that inflation

184
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:36.159
has cumulatively hit twenty percent in the
roughly three and a half years since Biden

185
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:44.000
took office. This is looking here
at the Washington Examiner. Biden headline here

186
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:49.120
looks to pivot on inflation, but
it may be too late. Haston Willis

187
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:57.399
wrote this, listen to this,
President Joe Biden wants to talk about falling

188
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:03.240
inflation now. It's from what it's
amazing. This reminds me again, as

189
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.960
most things tend to do, of
the episode of the Office where Dwight is

190
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.640
tasked by Michael Scott because Michael Scott
does not want the wrath of the Office

191
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:23.400
upon him for choosing a lesser health
plan than they currently have. So many

192
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.240
things popping into my mind. Why
this is why even back then, premiums

193
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.559
have gone up, have gone up. It's why I talk with you about

194
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.799
Eric Wilson of isl Health to help
prevent you from getting stuck with some of

195
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:45.640
these plans or this out of control
premium increase anyway, But Dwight has been

196
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.440
tasked with this because Michael doesn't want
to select an inferior plan. He wants

197
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:55.240
a scapegoat. Dwight's the scapegoat,
and so he picks a terrible plan.

198
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.920
And Jim and Pam go and talk
with him and say why why would you

199
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.279
pick an inferior plan? And he
says, I've got superior genes. I

200
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.200
don't need it. I don't get
sick. I can raise and lower my

201
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.799
cholesterol at will. And this is
the part that makes me think of Biden

202
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.799
and inflation. I can raise and
lower my cholesterol at will. And I

203
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.119
believe Jim asks him, maybe Pam
one of them asks why would you raise

204
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.079
your cholesterol? To which he responds, so that I can lower it?

205
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.000
My friends, that's what we have. That's what we have with President Biden.

206
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:37.039
He is applauding himself. He's applauding
himself for lowering inflation. But the

207
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:44.240
problem is he's only lowered it from
what he's responsible and his policies are his

208
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.680
policies and the mindset that government.
Again, we talked about inflation extensively,

209
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.000
extensively yesterday or one day this week, I can't remember. I think it

210
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.839
was yesterday anyway, but we talked
about this extensively. Inflation is one hundred

211
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:07.960
one h the responsibility or the consequence
of our federal government doing two things,

212
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:14.200
spending too much money and then creating
money that putting too much money into the

213
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.160
money supply to pay for the things
that they have they've spent money on that

214
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.960
they didn't have. That's what causes
inflation. And there's a lot of people

215
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:30.880
you could blame, but Biden is
in that mix. Biden is Biden could

216
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:37.279
take decisive action. He could propose
a budget that cut expenses. Of course

217
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:44.319
they don't want to for several several
reasons, but Biden could certainly do that.

218
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.599
He won't. That's the only way, that's the only way that inflation

219
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:55.440
is actually going to get in check
is if we begin well, if we

220
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:02.240
stop spent creating too much money,
and we have to. One of the

221
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.240
things that will take pressures off of
us creating too much money is that we're

222
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.160
spending too much money. These are
things that politicians do not want to do

223
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:17.559
anything about. So cumulatively, here, let me read a quote in this

224
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:25.000
article on Wednesday. This is from
CEO of the Job Creators Network, Alfredo

225
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.000
Ortiz. He said this on Wednesday, the country hit a sad milestone.

226
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:34.960
Inflation under Biden hit twenty percent.
Hit twenty percent. As a result,

227
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:41.880
he says, ordinary Americans face a
cost of living crisis and declining living standards

228
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:47.839
with price increases outpacing wages. No
doubt whatsoever. So Biden has tried everything

229
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.519
in the world. He's tried to
He's trying to get credit and applause for

230
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:59.119
lowering inflation, but lowering it only
from the high numbers that he and his

231
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:07.680
policies and the thinking of more and
more government spending could that was the result.

232
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:14.279
These are things that are leftists or
big government centric. These are ideas

233
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:21.559
and policies and behavior that create inflation. So at first they acted like it

234
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:26.200
was no big deal. At first, they acted like wages were going to

235
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:32.799
surpass the impact of inflation. They've
tried everything in the world. They've tried

236
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.799
everything in the world. They wanted
to be applauded for lowering it, but

237
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:42.000
it's still massively higher from when Trump
was in office, dramatically higher. It's

238
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.200
a three point four percent right now, and they want credit for bringing it

239
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.480
down from three point five, but
it's still dramatically higher. Trump's was usually

240
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.680
in the was in the twos.
I think some years some of the reports

241
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:03.319
were one point something. So it's
dramatically higher than Trump's. They want applause

242
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:10.000
and praise for bringing it down one
tenth of a percent, and they're still

243
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:15.079
at it's still high. It's still
high. There's still pressures that are inflationary

244
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.559
pressures that show us that this is
not going to end anytime soon. So

245
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.319
Biden's latest trick, and we'll have
to talk about this more after this break

246
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.799
here in the moment, But Biden's
latest trick is to say, no,

247
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:37.480
it was nine percent. Inflation was
at nine percent when I came into office.

248
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:44.039
This is demonstrably false. This is
a absolute lie. And we're going

249
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.880
to talk about this on the other
side of the break. Got the article

250
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.599
here, It's in the stack of
stuff at toddhofshow dot com if you want

251
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.799
to see it. But I'm going
to talk about it here after the break.

252
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.440
You're listening to conservative not better talking. Am your Ho's Tod Huff back

253
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:11.319
in just a minute, my friends. Yes, yes, yes, indeed

254
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:17.680
Biden is now blaming Trump. That's
right, Trump is responsible, Biden says

255
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.920
for the high inflation numbers. In
fact, he's out there repeating a lie,

256
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.160
repeating a multiple times. It's not
a gaff, it's not a slip

257
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.519
of the tongue. He didn't misspeak. This is deliberate and intentional. Biden

258
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:38.920
is out there claiming that inflation was
at nine percent when he took office.

259
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:47.519
By the way, this originally posted
at the Washington Post. Imagine that the

260
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:52.000
Washington Post, this stuff's behind a
paywall. So that's why in my stack

261
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:59.200
of stuff you'll find the town Hall
article that references that references this article in

262
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:11.960
that references the original Washington Post article. So let's take a look at this

263
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:18.480
headline. Even the Washington Post is
calling Biden out for his claims about nine

264
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.359
percent inflation, written by Rebecca Downs. In recent weeks, President Biden has

265
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:30.119
claimed repeatedly now that inflation wasn't nine
percent when he took office in January twenty

266
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:36.480
twenty one. Last week's comments came
in an interview with CNN's Aaron Burnett,

267
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:42.119
which touched upon inflation. Biden tried
to push Americans into being more grateful about

268
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:52.200
the economy, including through such a
false claim. Okay, as he then

269
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:57.599
even bragged about the matter. The
Washington Post's Glenn Keussler has more examples of

270
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:02.799
such false claims about it inflation,
though, including and especially about the nine

271
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.119
percent figure. So basically, Biden
has been saying this multiple times. The

272
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:14.920
nine percent claim she writes here in
this piece that Biden made to Burnett wasn't

273
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.279
the first and it wasn't the last. Time. On April tenth, while

274
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:23.960
giving a press conference with the Japanese
Prime Minister, the President claimed that,

275
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.799
quote, we have dramatically reduced inflation
from nine percent down to close to three

276
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:34.160
percent, even bragging we're supposedly,
quote in a situation where we're better situated

277
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:40.680
than we were when we took office, where inflation was skyrocketing, and that

278
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.079
was and that we have a plan
to deal with it. When Biden took

279
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.640
office, are you ready for this, the inflation rate was oz You got

280
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:59.640
a guess, no loss, one
point four percent. One point four percent.

281
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:07.039
Now this here says that go banking
rates. Analysis of the inflation rates

282
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:12.480
from the most recent presidents since Lyndon
B. Johnson, who was a character.

283
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.079
You talk about a perv, you
talk about somebody that me tooed everybody

284
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:25.880
in the building. This guy,
my goodness, just a total just so

285
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:32.799
many not a good dude anyway,
was in office. How former President Donald

286
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.559
Trump had the second lowest rate of
inflation, while Biden has had one of

287
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:44.440
the highest. So basically, the
data shows that inflation under Trump was the

288
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:51.160
second lowest under any president since Lyndon
Johnson, and Biden is among the highest.

289
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:53.519
I mean, this is pretty cut
and dry. So Biden's out there

290
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.680
claiming inflation was at nine percent.
When he took office, it was at

291
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.680
one point four percent. Now I'm
going to give you a caveat here,

292
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:07.160
I'm going to give you a caveat
and say I'm not blaming Biden took office

293
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:15.240
and the inflation rate was low.
But some of what hit the caused inflation

294
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:22.160
to skyrocket was how we responded to
the COVID crisis, the COVID crisis,

295
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:30.759
So Biden's not responsible for that.
So sometimes sometimes things hit your administration when

296
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.759
previous things had happened and we were
spending money left and right, like money

297
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.240
just grew on trees. Money was
water. That's how we were treating it

298
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.279
during COVID, and so some of
this was going to be cooked and no

299
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:51.119
matter what. However, however,
and this is where Biden and the left

300
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:57.200
and the Democrat Party and the Rhino
Republicans, this is where they have contributed

301
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:03.920
to this even further. Instead of
instead of cutting expenses, instead of raining

302
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:10.759
and spending, they have continued acting
as though they have a blank check from

303
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.720
the American people, that money is
no big deal whatsoever. They can get

304
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.799
as much of the as they want, spend it however they want, and

305
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.119
they act as though it has no
impact on the overall economy. It does,

306
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.160
and it's stealing from you, my
friends. I've been through this with

307
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.480
the inflation discussion we went through earlier
earlier this week, which again, if

308
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.680
you missed it and you want to
listen to that it was, just go

309
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:41.279
to the listen page on the website
totefshow dot com slash listen, and you

310
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.880
can hear the discussion a much more, you know, a lot more information

311
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:51.119
about inflation, what it is,
what causes it, sound bites from what

312
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:56.519
a SoundBite from Milton Friedman, the
great economist, who I'm telling you,

313
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.680
if you've got some if you haven't
interest in this, even if you don't,

314
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:03.680
even if you don't have an interest
in economics and it just seems a

315
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.759
little dull and boring, I'm telling
you if you listen to go back and

316
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.200
look at some of those YouTube videos
of Milton Friedman. Search out some of

317
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:17.759
those that he did with Phil Donahue
on The Donahue Show. There's lots of

318
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:23.119
examples of him standing on stage and
giving speeches and answering questions that sort of

319
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:30.480
thing, or being in on television. He had some remarkable things to say,

320
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:36.000
and he made it entertaining and understandable, did a great job. He's

321
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.599
just a wonderful individual to learn from. That's something that's that's worth doing.

322
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:45.839
But inflation was not at nine percent. Inflation was not at nine percent when

323
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:52.559
Biden took office. That happened on
Biden's watch. And so but that's the

324
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.759
latest, the latest trend here,
the latest way to deal with this.

325
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.200
At first, it was not supposed
to be a big deal. I mean,

326
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.519
this is how the left deals with
all sorts of problems. They deny

327
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.119
that there's a problem if it's something
that can be pinned to them. If

328
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.640
they have to acknowledge there is a
problem, they minimize it. If they

329
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.799
have to acknowledge that it's a bigger
problem than than what they're saying it is,

330
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:22.480
then they look for other excuses.
They blame their political predecessors. They

331
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.960
want to mess with the numbers and
reality in some other way. This is

332
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:32.680
what it means, unfortunately, to
be engaged in politics here in twenty twenty

333
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.079
four, and so nobody wants to
deal with the blame. I told my

334
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:40.720
son, politics is the art.
I think this is pretty accurate. Politics

335
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.839
is the art of taking credit for
anything happening in the country that is good,

336
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:51.440
and trying to pin anything that is
bad that's happening in the country on

337
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.440
your political opponents. That's it.
It's all about positioning and posturing. It's

338
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:03.079
all about messaging. It's all about
narrative, all about creating this storyline that

339
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:08.240
makes you the hero and the other
side the villain. And look, I

340
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:15.039
get that again sometimes something. We
live in a world now where there are

341
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:19.200
two diametrically opposed worldviews, and the
story must be told. The story must

342
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:26.240
be told regarding the dangers of one
of those ideologies and the blessings that come

343
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.039
from adhering to the other. And
a story is necessary. We have to

344
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.839
be able to tell it. We
have to be able to articulate, to

345
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.440
give context and to give depth,
and to explain these things and to teach

346
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.319
those are a very very important thing. The fact I've references before, I

347
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:48.920
got storyteller Tactics sitting right here on
my desk. It's a great little set

348
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:56.359
that helps, that gives pointers on
how to how to tell the story,

349
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:59.039
and not in the way that that
professor I had told me to make stuff

350
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:06.200
up, but just the art of
using story and narrative to explain things,

351
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.000
to make it clearer, so that
people have a better grasp of it and

352
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:16.160
they understand truth and reality. And
we've got to get better at that.

353
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:21.079
We've got to get better at that, especially when you factor in the reality

354
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.920
that the ideology of the left is
rooted in emotion. So they don't need

355
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:28.000
to tell lots of stories. They
just need to say, Ooh, I

356
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.720
don't like that government, fix it, right, But there's context. When

357
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.519
you're a limited government conservative, you
have to be able to explain why that

358
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:38.519
shouldn't be the case, why government
just shouldn't come in and try to fix

359
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:44.519
everything, Why that's a threat to
your liberty. Anyway, talking here about

360
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:46.799
the economy reminds me to tell you
a little bit about our friends at Harvard

361
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:52.680
Gold Group. My friends Harvard Gold
Group. They can help you. They

362
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:59.480
can help you add gold to your
investment portfolio, and in an economic climate

363
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.480
like this, and that might be
a really wise move. It's at least

364
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:06.599
look worth looking into. And if
it's worth looking into, I recommend that

365
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.799
you speak with the folks at Harvard
Gold Group Harvard Gooldgroup dot com, slash

366
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.160
Todd. You can get a report. You can fill out the form online

367
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:22.000
and get your report on just investing
in gold to learn a little bit more

368
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.720
about that. But I think it's
worth noting that all the folks out there,

369
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:30.039
all these government entities, all these
countries and central banks and institutions,

370
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:37.599
even the IMF itself, the folks
that tell you that Fiat paper money systems

371
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:43.039
is the answer to everything, they
still have and hold large quantities of gold.

372
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.200
And if that's the case, does
it make sense for you to do

373
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.480
that as well? Harvard gooldgroup dot
com, slash Todd, Harvard at gooldgroup

374
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.119
dot com slash Todd. By the
way, use my name Todd should you

375
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.480
decide to make a purchase, and
you will get a two hundred and fifty

376
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.720
dollars credit. I'm gonna take a
break, my friends. Sit tight back

377
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:19.599
here in just a minute. Welcome
back, my friends. So you've got

378
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:28.000
a mess here that is almost exclusively
well, it's caused by the lovers of

379
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:34.840
big government. It's caused by it's
caused by Rhino Republicans. It's caused by

380
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.519
the left, definitely, the left, the Democrat Party, the Biden administration.

381
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:45.079
These things are not caused by President
Donald Jay Trump. That's not the

382
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:52.679
case. Well, I mean COVID
response factored into this, but nothing has

383
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.480
been done. Nothing has been done
to fix the COVID res. Well had

384
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:05.000
been done to address the massive spending
that we had done during COVID. We

385
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:09.519
continue to live life as though everything's
peachy over here in the United States.

386
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:20.679
So anyway, Biden is bearing the
political consequences of that. So I want

387
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.159
to share with you another story here
in the final segment. Not a lot

388
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:27.000
of time, but this is in
the stack of stuff. I love this

389
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.000
as well. Newsom. This is
Governor Newsom. This is one of the

390
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:37.360
guys that the left thinks is their
next big successful Democratic candidate. Newsom.

391
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:45.480
Gavin Newsom says climate change partly to
blame for California's budget deficit. This is

392
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:52.119
a Brightbart dot com. So this
I'm gonna read from the article California Governor

393
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:57.800
Newsom has turned to climate change to
explain how the state went from a one

394
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:04.119
hundred dollars one hundred billion dollar surplus
two years ago to a twenty eight billion

395
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:10.360
dollar deficit, which would have been
even higher prior to drastic actions last month.

396
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:21.000
As col matters, noted deficit estimates
ranged from thirty eight billion to seventy

397
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:34.159
three billion, and so that is
those are the facts. Those are the

398
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.400
facts. And if you, if
I skimmed down in this article, they

399
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.440
asked him a question, can we
explain to Californians how we move from a

400
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:47.559
one hundred billion dollar surplus to such
a significant, significant deficit in just a

401
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:51.440
matter of a few years. And
this is what Newsom said, Well,

402
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:57.400
it's yeah, let me, let
me explain three hundred and forty nine billion

403
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:02.480
dollars of unprecedented capital gains eleven point
six percent when traditional capital gains is around

404
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.639
five point one eight percent on average, is almost double. So you have

405
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:15.800
massive volatility. You have requirements under
Prop two the Gan, you have requirements

406
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:21.960
under Prop. Ninety eight which require
that set aside we use ninety three percent

407
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.559
of our surplus, which is I
want to be careful either on the higher

408
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:31.280
end or without precedent for one time
purposes. So he's going through this list

409
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:43.519
of this list of problems, this
list of reasons for why, for why

410
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.239
there's there's problems with the California economy, which, by the way, he's

411
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:51.840
mentioning a lot of things that are
our laws. And one of the things

412
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:57.320
that I can say with certainty is
that California has created this mess, this

413
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:02.559
mess itself. Then he says,
he says, where did I leave this

414
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:08.840
thing? We did. What we
didn't expect is these rain bombs. You

415
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.719
know, California has gotten a lot
of rain, which of course is being

416
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:16.480
blamed on climate change. We got
these rain bombs in December, January,

417
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:22.679
February and March, these atmospheric rivers
that led to a federal declaration that led

418
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:30.159
to FEMA and the irs moving in
a direction where we couldn't collect our taxes

419
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:36.360
until I believe November sixteenth as opposed
to April fifteenth. So therein lied this

420
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:44.239
blackout period that beguiled all of us
at the LAO, finance economists, experts,

421
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:49.440
blah blah blah. You get the
idea. So, I mean,

422
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:55.599
it's climate change, right, It's
it's the weather. It's a lot of

423
00:38:55.679 --> 00:39:00.079
rain in California. That's why,
that's why we couldn't do it. It's

424
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.599
not because of government mismanagement, which
if you look at the state of California,

425
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:12.840
it is mismanaged in ways that folks, it is it is beyond California

426
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:19.119
is it's an economic powerhouse because it
is. I mean, it's one of

427
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.440
the biggest economies in the world,
but when you look at how the state

428
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.360
manages it, it's it could be
such a such a much more impressive economy

429
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:34.760
and a freer place to live if
these tyrants weren't involved in doing all of

430
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:38.559
the big government nonsense that they do
in California, all the nonsensical stuff.

431
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:44.039
I mean, we've got San Francisco, We've got so much, so much

432
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:47.719
waste, human waste on the streets
that an app was actually developed so that

433
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:53.880
you could it's called snapcrap. That's
a true story. I I that's how

434
00:39:53.920 --> 00:40:00.639
bad the state is. Mismanaged.
State is mismanaged and dramatic. Of course,

435
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.719
it's a sanctuary state. We've got
illegal immigration, which of course is

436
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:13.440
a massive part. A big reason
why California is dealing with economic problems is

437
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.519
because of the cost of illegal immigration. I don't know if he mentioned that.

438
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.400
I certainly did not see it.
But the idea that it's climate change,

439
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:27.960
I mean, it's remarkable how they
will blame it on some theory instead

440
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:32.039
of on reality, the facts right
before our very eyes. They deny that

441
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:36.199
on a regular basis, and people
eat this stuff up. They eat it

442
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:37.239
up, and they vote for this
guy, at least out there, I

443
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.760
don't think nationally, or at least
I don't hope, but who knows.

444
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.880
Anyway, my friends, there's the
music telling me it's time to wrap up

445
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.159
this hour of the program. I
hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks

446
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:49.119
for listening, SDG
