Speaker 1: Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff Radio Show, America's
Speaker 1: home for conservative not bitter talk radio. The advised the
Speaker 1: content of this program has been documented to prevents and
Speaker 1: even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
Speaker 1: to the right. Here's your conservative but not bitter host,
Speaker 1: Tod Huff.
Speaker 2: Agreading is my friends, and welcome to this hour of
Speaker 2: the Todd Huff Show, America's home for conservative not bitter talk.
Speaker 2: I am your host, the one, the only, the benevolent
Speaker 2: dictator behind the microphone. Todd Huff, Email Todd at totofshow
Speaker 2: dot com. Thoughts, questions, feedback, You know the routine. Always
Speaker 2: be sure to include the appropriate amount of adoration and praise,
Speaker 2: which I must warn you is significantly higher than you
Speaker 2: might deem necessary and appropriate. It's good to be here,
Speaker 2: and it is a breath of fresh air for sure,
Speaker 2: after witnessing what we've witnessed here well for some time
Speaker 2: in politics. But again, the hatred for Trump that was
Speaker 2: on display front and center during this convention was just
Speaker 2: really more than could be fully understood. And we knew
Speaker 2: there was going to be a lot, but it was
Speaker 2: off the charts. It really was so so I want
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about this convention. If you
Speaker 2: want to hear some of my other thoughts, I shared
Speaker 2: those in a previous hour, but I kind of want
Speaker 2: to pick up with that and get into other things
Speaker 2: of the day, including our FK Junior apparently dropping out
Speaker 2: of the race according to reports, and presumably ostensibly Endorsingident Trump.
Speaker 2: That could be the latest, I guess, major bit of
Speaker 2: news in this campaign that has all sorts of twists
Speaker 2: and turns. So that's where we're headed today, my friends,
Speaker 2: before we get really rocking and rolling, are you tired
Speaker 2: of dry and irritated skin. I know you're tired of
Speaker 2: big woke corporations, but this is the time right now,
Speaker 2: especially as we I mean, look, we're going headlong into
Speaker 2: this campaign. We've been subjected to wokeism from every possible angle.
Speaker 2: We've had our dollars taken from corporations that we trusted,
Speaker 2: maybe we shouldn't have, but those those funds were then
Speaker 2: used to support candidates and causes that were antithetical to
Speaker 2: who we are, what we believe, And so the time
Speaker 2: has come to support businesses that are truly patriotic, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, I want to get into this. The
Speaker 2: Democrats suddenly have found their patriotic bone, and I want
Speaker 2: to talk about that. They tried chan more chance of
Speaker 2: USA in this convention than I can remember Democrats channing
Speaker 2: in the past fifty years. But anyway, it is time
Speaker 2: to support patriotic businesses, patriotic brands, things that aren't woke,
Speaker 2: my friends, companies that aren't woke companies like ofp Farms.
Speaker 2: This is a family owned, god fearing company that creates natural,
Speaker 2: small batch bath and body products. These are quality products,
Speaker 2: my friends, quality products, and they also create world famous
Speaker 2: gift sets, gift sets that you can that you can
Speaker 2: get for yourself, you can send out as a birthday gift,
Speaker 2: you can send out for gee, what holidays are coming up.
Speaker 2: I mean, of course we've got Christmas down the road,
Speaker 2: but you know there might be birthdays, anniversaries. These are
Speaker 2: well put together gift sets. The packaging is phenomenal. They've
Speaker 2: got their make America Great Again line that they use
Speaker 2: profits from that to support the make America Make America
Speaker 2: Great Again moved movement. Support American business, American made products.
Speaker 2: Ditch the woke brands, Ditch these big, well problematic corporations.
Speaker 2: And feel the difference using products that are actually good,
Speaker 2: that have ingredients that you can pronounce. Visit o fp
Speaker 2: o fpfarms dot com. Again, that's o fpfarmswi an s
Speaker 2: dot comfpfarms dot com. He's my name, Todd. You're gonna
Speaker 2: say fifteen percent off at checkout o fpfarms dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, So a couple things. I want to get
Speaker 2: to number one. Number one. This this convention. This convention,
Speaker 2: my friends, is the Democrat convention of course that we
Speaker 2: that we just passed them, they just finished. I find
Speaker 2: it to be the most meaningless. The wokest I have
Speaker 2: to consult with Kamala is that how I say that?
Speaker 2: Is it the wokest? Is it? Just? Is it more woke? Whatever?
Speaker 2: It is the most meaningless, wokeust, fake patriotic convention that
Speaker 2: I have ever witnessed. And I've watched these since the
Speaker 2: I think ninety two was probably the first time I
Speaker 2: had tuned in and watched a convention. I might have
Speaker 2: seen part of eighty eight now that if I really
Speaker 2: think hard about it, but I've watched these for a while.
Speaker 2: This was the most meaningless. And look, I know they
Speaker 2: always talk in platitudes. I know that this is designed.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what you get from these things.
Speaker 2: It's all about emotion, enthusiasm and everything. But normally they
Speaker 2: talk about something of substance they didn't hear, and normally
Speaker 2: the patriot patriotism doesn't feel forced. It is. It was
Speaker 2: forced in this thing in this convention. By the way,
Speaker 2: Thursday night, speaking about patriotism, the Chicks formerly known as
Speaker 2: the Dixie Chicks, they took to these stage to sing
Speaker 2: the national anthem. I'm a fan of the national I
Speaker 2: love the national anthem. I'm I'm I do. Friends. We
Speaker 2: we're the people I make my kids stand up when
Speaker 2: it's being played on the television. When we hear it,
Speaker 2: we stand up. And I heard it, and we stood up.
Speaker 2: In fact, one of my daughters was in the bedroom
Speaker 2: sitting on her bed crochet and I looked at her
Speaker 2: and I kind of gave her the snap snap, stand
Speaker 2: up sort of thing, and she did and she came
Speaker 2: out and we stood there, hands over our hearts. This
Speaker 2: is a true story. I mean, we do this. And
Speaker 2: the rendition of the anthem was was awful. This is
Speaker 2: one of the worst. I mean, you always have your
Speaker 2: examples of renditions of the of the anthem. Who was
Speaker 2: the girl that just sang in an Astros game? Do
Speaker 2: you remember that some country country singer that was clearly
Speaker 2: worse than this? But this was really really bad. But
Speaker 2: it was good to hear. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 2: do they normally do this? You remember the convention years
Speaker 2: ago when they either they booed God at the Democrat
Speaker 2: convention or something along. I have to look when we're
Speaker 2: talking two thousand and eight, maybe two thousand and four. Anyway,
Speaker 2: So this it was good to hear them suddenly try
Speaker 2: to find their their patriot bone here because they hate
Speaker 2: this country. I mean, listen to the way that they
Speaker 2: talk about this country on a regular basis. I mean,
Speaker 2: this country in their minds is racist, it's homophobic, it's sexist,
Speaker 2: it's bigoted, it's xenophobic, it's all of these things. America
Speaker 2: is the problem in the minds of these leftists around
Speaker 2: the world. Russia used to call these folks to blame
Speaker 2: America first crowd. But the truth is they hate this country.
Speaker 2: The truth is if this country was anything close to
Speaker 2: how they described it, nobody would want to come here,
Speaker 2: legally or illegally. I mean, listen to the elon Omars,
Speaker 2: listen to the Rashida to Leeds tell me that they
Speaker 2: love this country. My friends, with a straight face. I
Speaker 2: don't think it can be done. But yet we heard
Speaker 2: chance of Usa USA erupts several times during this convention.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. There's a couple of ways to
Speaker 2: look at this, but I choose to look at it
Speaker 2: this way. I think it's good news that they're channing this,
Speaker 2: even though I think most of the people in that
Speaker 2: crowd probably never chanted USA in their lives. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to say that across the board. I was raised
Speaker 2: in a Union Democrat household, and we were raised to
Speaker 2: be incredibly patriotic, but we weren't raised by ultra leftists
Speaker 2: and haters of America, and that's a big portion of
Speaker 2: today's Democrat Party. So I think for a lot of
Speaker 2: those folks, channing USA is probably was one of the
Speaker 2: last things they thought they would ever be doing. But
Speaker 2: yet they were. And so I choose to look at
Speaker 2: this in an optimistic sort of way. I think that
Speaker 2: means that patriotism has has one which is good. Just
Speaker 2: like by the way, just like the issue of securing
Speaker 2: the border has won right the left has fought against
Speaker 2: securing the border for decades now, and candidly there's been
Speaker 2: some country club Republicans that have been part of the
Speaker 2: problem too, But by and large, this problem has been
Speaker 2: allowed to exist and grow because of Democrats, not exclusively,
Speaker 2: but mostly so. But they lost on they lost the argument.
Speaker 2: Now they're still pretending to do things that they're really
Speaker 2: not doing so that they don't have to pay political consequences,
Speaker 2: because who can really know what's going on at the border.
Speaker 2: When you live in say Indiana or New Jersey or
Speaker 2: Kansas or whatever, you don't know what's going on at
Speaker 2: the border. You're being told by the media that there's
Speaker 2: been a drop in border crossings by fifty percent or
Speaker 2: whatever whatever bit of information they're deciding to share at
Speaker 2: the moment, And what are you supposed to do about it?
Speaker 2: I mean, your instincts can say that doesn't sound right,
Speaker 2: but I mean, how do I argue that and it's
Speaker 2: dropped ten percent or it's increased thirty percent. I can't
Speaker 2: make that argument because I'm not down there. I'm relying
Speaker 2: upon people that are professional deceivers to give me information,
Speaker 2: which is an impossible scenario. But regardless of the details.
Speaker 2: Hearing these democrats chant Usa USA, to me, is a
Speaker 2: sign that patriotism is winning. In fact, they keep calling
Speaker 2: people on the right Christian nationalists, and they've attacked that
Speaker 2: concept of nationalism, which I mean depending upon what you
Speaker 2: mean by when you say Christian nationalism, I mean it
Speaker 2: could either be a good thing or a terrible thing.
Speaker 2: If you mean Christian nationalism that wants to establish a
Speaker 2: theocracy in America, that's not a good thing. But if
Speaker 2: you mean someone who loves their country, puts America first
Speaker 2: and believes in God, I think that's a darn good thing.
Speaker 2: So but hearing chance of USA USA has proven well
Speaker 2: to me, it proves it's i should say evidence. It's
Speaker 2: evidence that America is becoming patriotic. And there's they've stopped
Speaker 2: fighting it. They're trying to co opt the movement. These democrats,
Speaker 2: by the way, haven't chanted USA in the past twenty
Speaker 2: five years, but yet they were doing it at the
Speaker 2: convention last night on Thursday. Actually they did it throughout
Speaker 2: the convention. It reminds me too of one of the
Speaker 2: last speakers before Kamala took the stage. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to speak much about this. I'm not going to speak
Speaker 2: much about this because I think he's a total What
Speaker 2: word do I want to I don't want to make
Speaker 2: anything personal, although I do think that this guy is
Speaker 2: not a good guy. Adam Kinsinger. Adam Kinsinger took to
Speaker 2: the stage, and of course, she claims to be a conservative.
Speaker 2: He claims that the Republican Party has lost its way. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: he's on the stage endorsing a radical leftist, telling me,
Speaker 2: telling us that conservatives should join him. My friends, conservatives,
Speaker 2: hear me say this. You may decide. I hope you don't,
Speaker 2: but you may decide to support Kamala. You're right to
Speaker 2: do that. I think it's wrong. I think it's insane.
Speaker 2: I think it's crazy. I think it's dangerous. I hope
Speaker 2: that you can have since talked in to you. However,
Speaker 2: you can cast your ballot for whoever. But I will
Speaker 2: tell you this, the ability to call oneself a conservative
Speaker 2: and vote for Kamala over Donald Trump is not a
Speaker 2: compatible intellectual position to take. That is intellectual dishonesty to
Speaker 2: the nth degree. Those two things are not compatible one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. Look, I'm a guy that understands nuance and
Speaker 2: different I try to be graceful with people, But there
Speaker 2: are some things that are not compatible. Calling yourself a
Speaker 2: conservative and voting for Kamala Harris over Trump is not compatible.
Speaker 2: In the slightest, Adam Kinsinger doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: He did a whole lot of projecting when he was
Speaker 2: on the screen. In fact, he made a comment about
Speaker 2: Trump being a little man, and it was just ironic
Speaker 2: listening to it come from his mouth, especially when I
Speaker 2: realize and I remember the phony, fake tears that were
Speaker 2: coming from Adam Kinsinger's face when he was on the
Speaker 2: January sixth Commission. I mean just that this entire dog
Speaker 2: and ponies showed the entire charade, the entire attempt to
Speaker 2: deceive the American people, to keep footage hidden from January sixth.
Speaker 2: They were all part of that, to lose and destroy
Speaker 2: records of testimony from January sixth and information. Remember, these
Speaker 2: are the clowns and jokers that did that Kensinger. Kensinger
Speaker 2: and Liz Channing were the two Republicans that were on
Speaker 2: that committee, the only two that the Left allowed to
Speaker 2: be on there, and they were basically Democrats who pretended
Speaker 2: who called themselves Republicans. And so he spoke last night.
Speaker 2: He says he's voting for Kamala because he's putting country first,
Speaker 2: to which I believe. I said, get out of town
Speaker 2: when I heard him say that, in what way is
Speaker 2: putting country first? In what way does that equate to
Speaker 2: a vote for Kamala? Harris, I need someone to explain
Speaker 2: this to me. And the truth is I need someone
Speaker 2: to explain it to me because it's unexplainable. There is
Speaker 2: no way to explain this. He also said that democracy
Speaker 2: knows no party, which I don't even know what that's
Speaker 2: supposed to mean. What does that mean? Democracy knows no party?
Speaker 2: You know, words mean things. And if you're saying I'm
Speaker 2: voting to save our democracy, I mean democracy. Even if
Speaker 2: I grant that, you know, they're they're they're just using this,
Speaker 2: of course as as a cliche and too to make
Speaker 2: it sound like we're finding for the existence, the survival,
Speaker 2: the very existence of our country. But this democracy is not,
Speaker 2: of course what we have. But even if we we
Speaker 2: grant it and that and we accept that democracy is
Speaker 2: on the ballot, what does it mean to say it
Speaker 2: knows no party. Democracy is when the people vote for well,
Speaker 2: when all the people cast their votes, when people actually
Speaker 2: have a voice. So what does it mean to say
Speaker 2: democracy has no part, knows no party. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: it's again these these cliches and sayings. You know, voting
Speaker 2: for anybody would be exercising an exercise in democracy the
Speaker 2: way that they're talking about this. So what is he
Speaker 2: really even saying when he says democracy knows no party.
Speaker 2: They just want to throw these words around and want
Speaker 2: to give themselves some political cover. They want to try
Speaker 2: to somehow bring people along with them to doing the
Speaker 2: same stupidity. But I find it disgusting, and I find
Speaker 2: Adam Kinsinger honestly, of all the people, you know, I
Speaker 2: guess I know what I'm getting with Bernie Sanders. I
Speaker 2: know it's going to be crazy. I think Bernie might
Speaker 2: believe half of it, some of it, most of it,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Kinsinger to me is a hack. I
Speaker 2: find him to be a one hundred percent clown, and
Speaker 2: I find this entire thing disgusting and intellectually dishonest. I
Speaker 2: really do. He can disagree. I don't care if he
Speaker 2: disagrees with policy. I don't care that he hates Trump.
Speaker 2: But he's part of the problem. In fact, I would
Speaker 2: say I would say that he is. He is the
Speaker 2: face in a lot of ways of what's wrong on
Speaker 2: the Republican side of the isle. He's engaged in his
Speaker 2: own version of political theater, and it was very bad.
Speaker 2: Going back to the January sixth Commission and so forth.
Speaker 2: This guy's part and parcel of the problem here. B
Speaker 2: EDI's out there trying to get us to believe that
Speaker 2: he's trying to save our democracy, save us from Trump
Speaker 2: and all that. And of course he's a veteran, right
Speaker 2: he was a pilot. And again this goes in, this
Speaker 2: leads back to Chance of USA. They had a bunch
Speaker 2: of Democrats who were in Congress stand on stage who
Speaker 2: were veterans. By the way, I commend your service, no
Speaker 2: matter your party. I appreciate your service, no matter your Democrat, Republican,
Speaker 2: Green Party, what have you. I commend you for that,
Speaker 2: We thank you for that. That does not qualify you
Speaker 2: in and of itself for being a candidate for office. Clearly,
Speaker 2: I mean some of these people are out absolutely absolutely dangerous.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I would say this too. I
Speaker 2: don't know if i've I may have shared this, I
Speaker 2: share this in conversations, but I was I did not
Speaker 2: serve in the military. I tried, I got. I went
Speaker 2: through the process in the Actually I started in ninety six,
Speaker 2: my senior year of high school, and then it took
Speaker 2: a little bit longer, so it didn't actually come to
Speaker 2: complete fruition until ninety seven. It would have been technically
Speaker 2: at the end or in the middle of my freshman
Speaker 2: year at Butler, which is where I went to school.
Speaker 2: I was in the process of applying for commission to
Speaker 2: the military academies, and I was accepted to two of them.
Speaker 2: Got my nomination Congressman John Myers, I got a nomination
Speaker 2: from Senator Dan Coates, went through that process, was accepted
Speaker 2: to the United States Naval Academy and to West Point.
Speaker 2: I did not get into the Air Force Academy, so
Speaker 2: I guess I wasn't good enough for that. But I
Speaker 2: did get into well, I got accepted to, and I
Speaker 2: actually spent the night at the at Annapolis at the
Speaker 2: United States Naval Academy and was looking at going there.
Speaker 2: They were recruiting me to play football and all of that,
Speaker 2: and I just I enjoyed my opportunity. But I was
Speaker 2: medically disqualified, believe it or not, for sleep walking. Back
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven. In fact, I remember getting that
Speaker 2: notice and then I tried to apply for a waiver.
Speaker 2: I was it was non waverable in nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 2: and so far as I know, it still is today.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. But the bottom line is there's a difference.
Speaker 2: There's a difference between especially as I've gotten older, I
Speaker 2: know this. You know, the officer types who go through
Speaker 2: the academy versus the enlisted soldier. There can be a
Speaker 2: disconnect as far as you know political ideologies are concerned,
Speaker 2: because honestly, when you go through these academies, I mean,
Speaker 2: some of these folks are I mean there's been some
Speaker 2: leftists takeover parts of these higher parts of uh, you know,
Speaker 2: these officer trainings and all of these, I mean, all
Speaker 2: the DEI initiatives, all the political nonsense and bs hits
Speaker 2: there first. And so a lot of these folks who
Speaker 2: are in the military and on the left, I would
Speaker 2: say proportionately, they're more likely to have gone through something
Speaker 2: like that officer training academy versus enlisting. I don't mean
Speaker 2: that as I just mean the way that it's you know,
Speaker 2: what's taught and what's what's thrust and forced upon members
Speaker 2: of the military. It could be could be different depending
Speaker 2: upon how you go into the military. You know, when
Speaker 2: I think of the military and I think of the
Speaker 2: people that I know, they're some of the most conservative
Speaker 2: people I know. But then when I think of the
Speaker 2: people who have gone in through this, say the academy,
Speaker 2: sometimes not always, there's certainly conservatives there as well, but
Speaker 2: there's often there's a higher likelihood that their leftists. But
Speaker 2: the left is trying to co opt this movement and
Speaker 2: chant Usa USA. And I hope the left decides to
Speaker 2: wake up and love this country, but I happen to
Speaker 2: believe that that's not the case. So going to stop
Speaker 2: the discussion about that. I do want to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit though, about a concept that came up during
Speaker 2: this convention, freedom from versus freedom to This is stuff
Speaker 2: that I remember talking about in college. The Left is
Speaker 2: trying to, I think, do a little bit of bait
Speaker 2: and switch. Suddenly they care about freedom, they say, but
Speaker 2: they mean something different when it comes to freedom. I
Speaker 2: want to get to that in the next segment. My friends,
Speaker 2: if you smoke, if you vape, if you chew tobacco,
Speaker 2: Nick Knack Naturals is here to help you crush your vice.
Speaker 2: They've created a mint. It's a nicotine mint. This is
Speaker 2: not for you if you do not use nicotine products,
Speaker 2: but if you do, if you do smoke and you're
Speaker 2: tired of the smoke, the smell, if you if you
Speaker 2: vape and are tired of, you know, having to take
Speaker 2: the brakes and have the have the all the things
Speaker 2: that come along with vaping, all the equipment and the
Speaker 2: packets and all this stuff. Or you're tired of chewing,
Speaker 2: you're tired of the spit the spit cans, You're tired
Speaker 2: of the slimy pouches, whatever the case may be. Nicknack
Speaker 2: Naturals has created a naturally better and well naturally better
Speaker 2: alternatives to the messiness that comes from those other forms
Speaker 2: of nicotine. So nicknack dot com is where you can
Speaker 2: go and I see nac nicknack dot com promo code
Speaker 2: Todd will save you fifteen percent nick neck dot com
Speaker 2: promo code Todd Quick time out. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk a little bit about freedom and a
Speaker 2: little bit about the differences in how the Democrats talked
Speaker 2: about it versus Republicans. We'll do that on the other
Speaker 2: side of the brick, my friends, sit tight back in
Speaker 2: just a minute, come back to my friends, you'll notice.
Speaker 2: And if you watch the conventions, well the Democratic Democratic
Speaker 2: National Convention in particular, which is where what we're talking
Speaker 2: about here today, you would have seen this conversation about
Speaker 2: about freedom. Now, if you listen to this show, if
Speaker 2: you listen to conservatives, if you listen to libertarians, a
Speaker 2: common theme is is freedom. If you read the Founding documents,
Speaker 2: if you if you are to read the Federalist papers,
Speaker 2: I mean these are liberty, liberty, freedom, or as Kamala
Speaker 2: would say, fweedom. She was in her stroller. I remember
Speaker 2: that story. Her mom asked her, what do you want, Kamala?
Speaker 2: I just want fweedom. Oh my goodness. So but freedom
Speaker 2: is really the purpose, one of the core purposes of
Speaker 2: government is to protect the freedom, the liberty of people
Speaker 2: in the country. That's why we have the Bill of Rights.
Speaker 2: This is important to understand. Now, I've said before and
Speaker 2: I stand by this, by the way, that the I'm
Speaker 2: not talking Republican democrats, I'm saying conservatives limited government types.
Speaker 2: There is a direct correlation between one's love and respect
Speaker 2: and preference for freedom and liberty and one's preference for
Speaker 2: the size and scope of government. The bigger the government,
Speaker 2: the smaller the liberty there it can be no other way.
Speaker 2: My friend's government is forced. I don't know. Some of
Speaker 2: you certainly have, maybe some of you haven't. A guy
Speaker 2: that I have a ton of respect for his name
Speaker 2: is John Stossel. I don't know what how you would
Speaker 2: even define John Stossel. He's still a I guess he's
Speaker 2: still like an investigative reporter type. But he provides a
Speaker 2: lot of good information and he he's said pretty clearly,
Speaker 2: and he's right. Government is force. That is what government is.
Speaker 2: Force is not a good thing. Force is something that
Speaker 2: is rarely on the right. If you find yourself using force,
Speaker 2: you're finding yourself on the wrong side of the equation.
Speaker 2: The only exception to that is if you are trying
Speaker 2: to defend yourself, your life, liberty, property. You know, that
Speaker 2: is that is when force is necessary. So you know,
Speaker 2: there's a time there are just wars, right, but there's
Speaker 2: a lot of wars that are not just as well.
Speaker 2: Turns out the specifics turned, you know, make a have
Speaker 2: a lot to say about whether or not is just
Speaker 2: and good. That's why self defense is different from murder.
Speaker 2: In fact, if you look up the definition of murder.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm always intrigued by this. When the left
Speaker 2: I'm for example, I am I'm in well, I want
Speaker 2: to say favor of it sounds a little bit brutal,
Speaker 2: but I am someone who supports the idea of capital punishment.
Speaker 2: I don't cheer about it. I don't like to have
Speaker 2: to use it. But I think that there are some
Speaker 2: crimes that you know you deserve it is necessary to
Speaker 2: the payment for that crime should be should be your life.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be used. I mean for most crimes. I'm
Speaker 2: not suggesting that, but I mean I think murdering someone
Speaker 2: is automatically a capital offense. That's what I think. And
Speaker 2: maybe other crimes I don't know, but though clearly that's
Speaker 2: that's the easy one. And but murder is not the
Speaker 2: same thing. In fact, In fact, I remember in school
Speaker 2: people talking about, you know, how can you be pro
Speaker 2: life and not in favor of abortion, but you're in
Speaker 2: favor of capital capital crimes. In fact, a lot of
Speaker 2: our Catholic friends would find themselves in this situation. God's
Speaker 2: created life and it should not be taken by humans.
Speaker 2: I don't I respect that. But there's a major, major
Speaker 2: difference between taking the life of an unborn child versus
Speaker 2: taking the life of someone who's created an absolute act
Speaker 2: of evil against someone else, and that is that the
Speaker 2: child is not guilty of anything. The child there is
Speaker 2: no justification. And so if you look at the word
Speaker 2: and murder, in fact, even if you look at the
Speaker 2: in the Ten Commandments, people will cite. And I remember
Speaker 2: being marvel I remember marveling at this at college, back
Speaker 2: in my days at American University. I remember people saying, well, Todd,
Speaker 2: the Bible says thou shall not kill, technically a more
Speaker 2: accurate description of the Ten Commandments as thou shall not murder.
Speaker 2: But even if you don't go along with that, that's
Speaker 2: in Exodus chapter twenty. If you flipped Exodus twenty one,
Speaker 2: there are a whole litany of explanations or examples of
Speaker 2: when someone someone's actions warrant them being guilty of committing
Speaker 2: well of being I guess eligible if that's the word
Speaker 2: of a capital punishment, their actions justify capital punishment. And
Speaker 2: there's a whole bunch of examples. And I remember saying
Speaker 2: to my classmates, you know, look, I'm not asking you
Speaker 2: to go to another part of the Bible. You brought
Speaker 2: the Bible into this and you say, Todd, the Bible
Speaker 2: says THO shall not kill I, or yeah, thou shall
Speaker 2: not kill I say, it's actually better interpreted thou shall
Speaker 2: not murder. But besides that, let's just put that aside
Speaker 2: for the moment. You flip the page and if actually
Speaker 2: in my Bible time it was on the left side
Speaker 2: of the Bible, I just turned my head to the right.
Speaker 2: And then there's a whole litany of examples, the whole
Speaker 2: list of examples of when capital punishment was biblically called
Speaker 2: for in the Book of Exodus. And I said, how
Speaker 2: do you It's not a different book, it's not a
Speaker 2: different author, it's not a different time frame. There's no
Speaker 2: other additional context. It's the next chapter over. You turn
Speaker 2: your head, you don't have to turn the page. And
Speaker 2: there are examples of using of when capital punishment can
Speaker 2: be applied should be applied biblically. Now we can debate
Speaker 2: that in today's society. I'm just saying that there are differences,
Speaker 2: and that these differences turn out to make a pretty
Speaker 2: I mean, the gap can be enormous at some point. Well,
Speaker 2: another area that this happens in is this concept of freedom.
Speaker 2: Concept of freedom. And so if you look at the
Speaker 2: Bill of Rights, if you think about and study freedom,
Speaker 2: what does it really mean when we say that God
Speaker 2: created us to be free? Right, that God created us
Speaker 2: with certain unailenable rights. Among those are life, liberty and
Speaker 2: the pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: And so we have this we have a need to
Speaker 2: have a society where a government is instituted to do
Speaker 2: some basic things, right, to protect its citizens from foreign
Speaker 2: armies and foreign adversaries from threats outside, but also to
Speaker 2: create a system whereby you protect the liberties and rights
Speaker 2: and to the best of your ability, the lives and
Speaker 2: you know, the prosperity of the people on the inside. Right,
Speaker 2: you can't control every circumstance. You can't always prevent someone
Speaker 2: from doing something bad or egregious or wicked or evil,
Speaker 2: but you can do things to deal with the people
Speaker 2: that behave that way, And so the idea has traditionally been,
Speaker 2: in fact, if you read the Bill of Rights, we
Speaker 2: are free to do things right. We are free to
Speaker 2: as symbol, we are free to hat will. If you're
Speaker 2: even if you're a citizen journalist. You have the freedom
Speaker 2: to express your ideas and opinions, right to report on things,
Speaker 2: to shine light on what's happening within within your government.
Speaker 2: You are free to say whatever it is that you
Speaker 2: want to say, even if it's something that's unpopular. You
Speaker 2: are free to live your life as you see fit.
Speaker 2: You are free to keep and bear arms. You are
Speaker 2: free to be secure in your personal you know, in
Speaker 2: your own private property. You you, you are. You could
Speaker 2: say free from government interfering there. So now we're getting
Speaker 2: into the free from But I think you could say
Speaker 2: that maybe a couple of different ways. But the Left,
Speaker 2: when they talk about freedom, they start using they rely
Speaker 2: heavily on freedom from so they'll start saying things, Zich,
Speaker 2: you should be free from the risk of poverty. Now wait,
Speaker 2: then that sounds great. I would I would love to
Speaker 2: have a society. I guess as I think about this,
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I mean, it's it's hard to
Speaker 2: say because because sometimes the lessons learned require us to
Speaker 2: have difficulties. I can speak from personal experiences. Sometimes was
Speaker 2: at C. S. Lewis who said God whispers to us
Speaker 2: in our and our successes, but screams to us and
Speaker 2: our pain. I mean something like that, pain gets our attention.
Speaker 2: And so if we understand I'm not saying that, you know,
Speaker 2: I want people to suffer, but if you take away
Speaker 2: all ability to to have loss or to suffer difficulties,
Speaker 2: you're insulating yourself from truly learning how to really prosper.
Speaker 2: So some of this is necessary, but it also sounds
Speaker 2: good to say, woll, it'd be nice if people didn't
Speaker 2: have to struggle, But what does that really mean? What
Speaker 2: are they free from? Is that really what this concept
Speaker 2: of freedom is about. It's what the left wants you
Speaker 2: to believe it about. Anyway, gotta take a break. If

Speaker 2: you're listening to conservative not bitter talk. I'm your host,
Speaker 2: Tod Huff back in a minute, Welcome back to my friends.
Speaker 2: Talking about freedom too versus freedom from which is something
Speaker 2: that came up in the Democratic National Convention. Anytime the
Speaker 2: left wants to talk about freedom, they have to trick
Speaker 2: us or change definitions because they don't believe in that.
Speaker 2: They don't believe in that. They believe in a big
Speaker 2: government that well, that comes in and makes decisions for us.
Speaker 2: They don't like the decisions that we make. They don't
Speaker 2: like the fact that we have them. They think that
Speaker 2: they're smarter than us. They do. They think that they're
Speaker 2: better and smarter and more qualified, and so therefore therefore
Speaker 2: they are in their minds completely justified in doing whatever
Speaker 2: they need to do to well, to intervene in our
Speaker 2: lives and so, but they also understand that freedom is very,
Speaker 2: very popular. They know that. I don't know if they
Speaker 2: know this, but we are created by God to be free.
Speaker 2: We're created by God to be free people, to have
Speaker 2: our own thoughts and to be able to exercise that liberty.
Speaker 2: And so they're trying to say, Okay, we've tried to
Speaker 2: co opt to the patriotic movement, kind of redefine what
Speaker 2: it means to be patriotic. Let's also redefine subtly. This
Speaker 2: is what they do. They do this with words all
Speaker 2: the time. They did this with the recession. We actually
Speaker 2: went into a recession in Joe Biden's turn, but they
Speaker 2: told us, no, that's you know, that's not really the
Speaker 2: right definition of recession, when it clearly was two consecutive
Speaker 2: quarters with negative GDP growth. That is the definition of
Speaker 2: a recession. But they didn't want to admit that because
Speaker 2: they didn't want to have the headlines that said we're
Speaker 2: in a recession, and so they redefined it. They redefined, well,
Speaker 2: in some cases they've stopped defining. They didn't redefine what
Speaker 2: woman was. They stopped giving it any definition. In fact,
Speaker 2: ask any woke person that is a trans What do
Speaker 2: you want to say a supporter, a promoter of this
Speaker 2: idea of transgenderism, Ask them what a woman is and
Speaker 2: they will say they will say, you've seen Matt Walsh's
Speaker 2: documentary on what is a woman? He's got another one
Speaker 2: coming out now, am I racist? Which that's another story
Speaker 2: for another day. But he says, what is a woman?
Speaker 2: He asks these people who are highly educated, right, they
Speaker 2: teach this stuff at college, university, colleges and universities. What
Speaker 2: is a woman? A woman is someone who identifies as
Speaker 2: a woman. Okay, well what are they identifying as? What
Speaker 2: does it mean? What does the term mean? It's someone
Speaker 2: who identifies as a woman. I mean these are literal conversations.
Speaker 2: So they either redefine or play these make belief games
Speaker 2: of acting like they're giving definitions for words when a fact,
Speaker 2: in reality, they're not. So that's what they're doing here
Speaker 2: with this concept of freedom, trying to say, well, you
Speaker 2: should be free from you should be free from gun violence,
Speaker 2: and of course we should do what we can to
Speaker 2: obviously protect and to eliminate that. They think that people
Speaker 2: should be free from poverty. Of course, I would love
Speaker 2: to have a society where that's the case. But what
Speaker 2: does that really mean? How do we I mean, there
Speaker 2: are some things living in this fallen world that we
Speaker 2: have that we don't have the magical ability to just
Speaker 2: snap our fingers and fix. And some of these things
Speaker 2: are incredibly arbitrary, impossible to difficult or impossible to define,
Speaker 2: difficult to understand and measure. Who's going to be deciding
Speaker 2: what the balance is? It's just not the way that
Speaker 2: life was designed to work. Of course, we should strive
Speaker 2: for these things you should be free from, they would say,
Speaker 2: becoming bankrupt because of medical debt. But what are all
Speaker 2: these things saying if you then take it to the conclusion,
Speaker 2: how do you get to that point? Right? I think
Speaker 2: that some of these things are actually good objectives to
Speaker 2: strive for, But to say that it's a right to
Speaker 2: say that it's what the true definition of freedom is
Speaker 2: and then say that you're going to then force other
Speaker 2: people to pay the bill, or you're going to take
Speaker 2: from other people that you believe, for whatever reason, should
Speaker 2: be on the hook for solving problem X, Y or Z.
Speaker 2: Suddenly you've got a distorted view of what freedom is.
Speaker 2: If your freedom from something requires that you take away
Speaker 2: someone else's freedom to do something you don't have freedom,
Speaker 2: and that's what the left ultimately has, and that's what
Speaker 2: the left ultimately wants. The left, once controlled, they want
Speaker 2: to do They want to get that control and power.
Speaker 2: However they have to do it, they really don't care.
Speaker 2: It's the Seinfeld Newman strategy. Whatever it takes, as long
Speaker 2: as it takes them, So long as it takes in
Speaker 2: the case of Trump, takes Trump out of the White House,
Speaker 2: in the case of freedom, as long as it takes
Speaker 2: away freedom and empowers them, they are totally cool with that.
Speaker 2: So that's what the left is talking about. It's a
Speaker 2: distortion of what real freedom is. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 2: all these things they want people to be free from
Speaker 2: are bad to shoot for as a culture in society,
Speaker 2: but to say that it's a freedom and to imply
Speaker 2: that it's a right that should be granted by government
Speaker 2: becomes a very, very tricky and even dangerous thing in
Speaker 2: some cases. So, my friends, my Pillow is offering the
