Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff radio show, America's home for conservative not Bitter talk radio. The advised that the content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to the rights. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff, Folks, the evidence the signs that the twenty twenty four Republican primary is over. I mean, in a manner of speaking, is all around us,
is all around us, and I want to talk about that today. I also want to talk about one of my favorite subjects to talk about, and that is the artist formerly known as Hunter Biden that we refer to on this program from time to time as Picasso. There was some testimony before Congressional impeachment investigators recently that involved the dealer for Hunter Biden's artwork, and I want to share that. And there's some other things in the news as well that I
want to get to. But let's kick off the program today by talking about just the state of the twenty twenty four Republican primary. But I guess before I do that, let me give you the email. Should you want to be part of this conversation Todd at totebshow dot com. Show your thoughts, your feedback, your opinions, always, always, always be sure to include the appropriate amounts of adoration and praise for yours truly, which I gotta be
honest, is more than you might realize. Fifteen percent, I would say ten to fifteen percent more than you think is necessary is what I'm looking for. So tot atshow dot com or you can text this three one seven two to one zero twenty eight thirty. So we are still dealing with the wake if you will the I guess the fallout of the results from Monday's Iowa caucus
ABC News. ABC News has since canceled the Republican debate that was scheduled to take place prior to the New Hampshire primary, which is here in I think the end of January. I think it's the twenty ninth. I believe, no, twenty third, Sorry about that, the twenty third. So it is next next? What is that? Tuesday? Next Tuesday? I think.
So there was supposed to be a debate, maybe even tonight. As I've told you, I don't I haven't watched these and as a guy that has had interest in presidential politics, politics in general elections, and so forth since he was a I mean probably getting close to twenty five to thirty years somewhere in that vicinity. I gotta be honest with you, I have no interest, no interest in this, and that's because that's because, as I've shared before, and as you well know, that this is Trump's nomination to
lose. Trump has not shown up at these debates. Trump is not going to show up at these debates. Trump should not Trump. He should not be showing up at these debates. But for what purpose? For what purpose? I've there's so much to take from that to begin with, and I think it all, folks, I do. I think it benefits I think it benefits Trump. Now, I know that there are people out there that think, man, who does this guy think he is? Why can't he
show up? I mean, this is disrespectful to the Republican Party, But then that actually gives more credibility to the position that Trump is an outsider. I mean, this is every every single way of looking at that I could think of, it benefits Trump for this to be playing out the way that it is, and it is not very advantageous to people who are in say, the Republican Party to those who are you know, to those who are obviously running for the nomination, I mean, it makes them look insignificant.
And I'm not saying that they really are. It's just you've got a bunch of well a couple of people now that are left that are up here on a debate, debate stage, excuse me talking about things that it appears they're
never going to have, at least in twenty twenty four. They're not going to have any say regarding these things they're talking about because the guy that is running away with this pretends like this isn't even a thing, it doesn't even matter the Republican Party, I don't know what they've been doing behind the scenes. I don't know. But strategically and just from an optics perspective, this
looks just ridiculous. It looks totally like a joke, and it makes Trump have more credibility with the people who say, there's the DC establishment, the political party people, and then there's Trump and this plays out perfectly for this. So I don't, I honestly don't know what the Republican Party should do. I don't know if I was, you know, an advisor for Nicky Haley or Ron DeSantis. I don't even know what I would recommend that they
do. Of course, to be fair on clearly on the side of telling them, had I been an adviser for them at the beginning, do not run. Do not run. This is not going to end well for you. This is not going to further your political career. This is bad. This is a bad move. This is Trump's to have. There's a lot better path to get to potentially running for president one day. That day just isn't today. That would have been my advice. I said it on this
program, So I wouldn't be advising them because I don't know. They shouldn't. They shouldn't have done this in the first place. And now this is why, this is precisely why they should not have done it. This is exactly why. So Nikki Hayley, she's come out and said, look, I'm not going to even show up for the debate if Trump's not going to be there, which you know, again I'm sympathetic. I'm sympathetic to her in this sense. And again I don't not not politically, just as a
human being. She's trying to she's trying to further her campaign. What's she's supposed to do show up to another debate that no one's gonna watch. Trump's gonna probably do some other Yeah, well he's gonna be he's gonna be speaking again people. More people are gonna watch Trump then would be watching this debate. And that's how Trump scheduled this. Trump just looks at the calendar and he says, well, when are the Republican primary? Excuse me, the
Republican debates. Let's schedule an event, Let's get something on TV, Let's have a rally, let's do something. And every time, more people are ready to watch Trump than they are to watch the other candidate's debate. And so this Nikki Haley says, look, I'm not going to do to do this again. And ABC, who is going to be hosting this primary, which was supposed to be tonight, said then we're going to cancel because Trump's
not coming. You're not coming DeSantis. DeSantis said something about he'll be up there debating against two empty podiums. I did see a statement. Unfortunately, even less people are going to see that. This is just I mean, for me, politics is about ideas and we've got to get past the superficial, but we also cannot ignore the optics, and the optics of this are it's Trump's. What Trump says is going to happen ends up happening, whether
it's directly or indirectly. Trump didn't cancel this debate, but the influence Trump had in this process has caused the debate to be canceled. These things I think are undeniable. So now Nikki Hayley is not having not going to be going up on the debate stage, which means Ron DeSantis will not either. ABC News has canceled it. So now now what right now? In the wake of the election, I should say, the primary, the caucus in Iowa, Trump of course called on his GOP rivals to just drop out of
the race. This is from the Epic Times. I don't see the date here. It was this week. I don't know if it was yesterday or the day before or whatever. But Trump is out there calling on as well. He should be calling on his Republican candidates to drop out of the race. He's he's the front runner. And again I'm not saying that that other folks can't run in the primary, but I think this is exactly what Trump
should be doing. Trump should be saying exactly these things. And so it was actually coming out through his super pack, his super pack, where he's basically saying, Hey, you know, we've got a big problem here. We've got a political adversary that all Republicans want to stop, who's building up his war chest, his building up money not having to spend it. Because of course the Democrats aren't having any primary. They ignored RFK Junior. Our
FK Junior says final run as an independent. Biden refuses. At last check, Biden has still refused to get secret service for RFK Junior. I guess I can confirm that, but a couple of weeks ago he hadn't. He hadn't assigned secret service to RFK juniors. So, you know, they just pretend like there's no there's there's no competition. It's it's just funny if you look at it. Republicans pretend like there is competition for the nomination and are
going through the process when there's a clear front runner. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a process. I'm saying that the people who are running should understand that they have no chance of winning. I am saying that, and then on the other side, on the other side, they're actually could be a contest because the Democrats do not want Joseph Robinette Biden running their party. They
do not want him to be their candidate. The only thing that they are in support of as it pertains to Biden is that he's not named Donald J. Trump. That's it. That's the only positive factor that they can give us for supporting Biden. So you've got the Republicans who have a clear front runner, who are at least trying to pretend like there's a contest when there
really isn't. On the Democrat side, you have a situation where I think anybody who threw their name in the hat would be giving this current president a run for his money. And Democrats know that, and they say, uh
huh, we are not going to go through a bloody primary process. We're going to protect our guide, just like we protected him in twenty twenty when we were hiding him in the closet, hiding him in the basement, making sure he wasn't giving beaches, we were wrapping his day up by four o'clock in the afternoon or whatever. Don't want this guy speaking in primetime at night. He's just not capable of doing it any longer. We've got to keep this guy hidden. We've got to protect him. We've got to make sure
there is no competition. And there you have it. That's the stage that we're dealing with right now. That is the reality of the circumstances. So Trump's calling on Republicans to drop out. The debate is canceled. The debate is canceled for tonight. Nicki Hayley is not even going to participate because Trump's not going to be there. Trump's going to be out there doing things that are going to draw more attention to him into his campaign. Desanta says,
he's going to be debating two empty podiums. But the problem is there won't be anybody watching because ABC News has canceled it. Republican Party looking like candidly, like a joke in this process, and I don't have the answer for them. I don't have the answer for them. But the riding on the wall is very clear, and it has been for a long time. I will say this, though I didn't think it would happen quite this quickly. I thought it was inevitable. I thought it was predictable for a long,
long, long time. The second Trump said that he was going to run again. But I didn't think that this would be happening quite this quickly, So Trump, I mean, this is again. We knew this was going to happen, maybe a little bit quicker than we expected. But here we are. Here, we are, my friend, So I want to take a time out. I wanted to update you kind of what was going on with that. Oh and I should mention even Biden. Even Biden himself recognizes
that Trump is inevitably the nominee of the Republican Party. Former President Donald Trump is quote the clear front runner, according to President Joe Biden. He said that Monday after Trump's I think he tweeted it. I had that tweet in my stack of stuff from earlier this week. Yeah, here's the Well, it was in an email too. It was a tweet. A version of
this was a tweet as well. The Iowa results are in, and it's clear Donald Trump is the official front runner for the twenty twenty four Republican presidential nomination. We need to work even harder now. If Donald Trump is our opponent, we can expect vile attacks. My friends, endless lies and massive spending. They got to throw the massive spending part. I just these folks, they don't have any limits to the amount of money they want to spend,
and that's what they want to target Trump for. Anyway, everybody knows it is the point, even Biden himself, or at least Biden's team. I don't know if Biden knows. But nonetheless, timeouts in order here. I want to shift gears on the other side of this timeout, and I want to get to one of my favorite topics, which is Hunter Biden's art, his precious, precious art. Some testimony happening in Congress. We'll get to that in due course on the other side of the break. My friends,
you're listening here, the home of Conservative not bitter Talk. I am your host, the one, the only, the beloved Todd huff back here in mere moments. Welcome back, my friends. So as you know, if you've listened to this program for any length of time, you will have known, or you do know, that one of my favorite topics. Now understand, I don't mean when I say it's my favorite topic. It is
just or one of my favorite topic. It is completely absurd that we are having these discussions as though this is some sort of legitimate debate here, because this is patently absurd, and it is the issue of Hunter Biden selling paintings. Hunter Biden was born in nineteen seventy, So what's that making? I think his birthdays? I think I saw something. He's got a birthday coming up. I think. So he's born in nineteen seventy, this is ninety,
or this is twenty twenty four. He's going to be fifty four here soon, so fifty four year old Hunter Biden. And again, let me pause. This is not well. This is not about Hunter Biden individually as an individual. This isn't about Hunter Biden as some regular average person living in society trying to mind his own business. Everything. Every time that I utter the words or the name Hunter Biden, what I am referencing is the evidence,
and yes there is evidence. There's plenty of evidence, the evidence that something fishy is going on with the Bidens. Biden's plural This includes, by the way, Joe Biden's brother, This includes Joe Biden's son, Hunter, This includes Joe Biden potentially using the office of vice president and who knows, maybe even president. His political positions his elected authority to personally enrich himself and
his family allegedly. That's what this is about. This is about something that every single American, whether you are the biggest Biden fan, whether you are a radical leftist, whether you're a conservative, whether you're an anarchist, if you are a reasonable human being, you can say you should be able to say with absolute certainty that this sort of thing if this turns out to be true, If this turns out to be what it looks like, it may
be that money was exchanging hands in returns for political or personal favors, and money that made its way to the family of President Biden, or potentially, it appears even his own personal accounts. So personally enriching oneself by abusing your political authority should be completely, unequivocally unacceptable, universally for every single person who desires well a free America, an America that has any integrity whatsoever in America
that well that we should all strive to build. Anybody who defends this behavior is by definition part of the problem. And you can you can remove the name Hunter Biden, you can insert whatever other person's name that you would like.
Now there needs to be evidence. We can't just say, as someone like to say they want to say, Trump, Okay, if this is legitimately happening, I'll be on record as saying that if this is legitimately happening with any politician, I don't care if it's someone that I agree one hundred percent with or zero percent with. This is unacceptable. This cannot be allowed
to happen. And if you find yourself, or if you find someone you know who cannot state those words, they are by definition part of the problem. So now with that said, let me read this headline. Art dealer told Congress that Joe Biden called and met him while he sold Hunter Biden's paintings. George Burgess also says the first son made unusual request to know the identity of buyers, undercutting white House's narrative. Now let me paint the picture of
this testimony again. This is in today's stack of stuff. We're gonna have to split this up over multiple segments. Here. This is in the stack of stuff on the website if you want to read this. This is at justthnews dot com. This is well, I thought I had the Yeah. John Solomon wrote this at just the News, So here's what we have. We have a fifty four year old Hunter Biden who a few years ago, I believe in twenty twenty is when the first article was written. This may
be in the stack of stuff as well. I was just telling Oz about this. Let me see if I can pull this up real quick. But a fifty year old Hunter Biden had basically started painting. Now. I don't know how long he had been painting, I told Oz, I don't think. I think Hunter was probably from what I understand, maybe in his forties when he started dabbling in painting. I don't think before then he had touched a paint brush, since he was maybe doing some finger painting back in elementary
school. But nonetheless, this guy wakes up one day grabs a paint brush in his late forties, maybe early right at fifty, and he's just a prodigy, and it just so happens. It's the craziest coincidence. His dad is the vice president or soon to be president elect if it was when he was fifty. His dad is a at least a highly influential person in Washington, DC who's thinking of running for the presidency. He's the former vice president
of the United states, Art is this incredibly subjective thing. You have some people in fact, I remember I remember Rush Rush used to say on his program, if I can do it, it's not art, And I think I would say the same thing about me. I've got a family. We've got some artists in my family. I've got a daughter that crochetes. She's she's twelve, she crochetes. I've got a son who draws, well, he's got a little business where he draws houses, like he draws people's houses
and they frame them and put them on the wall or whatever. He had a lot of these that he did for Christmas. And I've got our little one. She's made, you know, magnets and stuff out of clay and so forth. And when we've had earrings. I mean, they're they're talented. They don't get that from me. I don't. I can't draw stickman, I don't. I can't do any of that. They get that from their mother's side, because they're sure not getting it for me. Now.
Of course, we use the paint brush of our words on this program, so I suppose we're artistic in that sense. But you put a pencil or a paint brush in my hand and I'm not gonna be able to do anything meaningful with it. I know people who can. In fact, the good bad guy is a guy that's an incredible artist. Here he works works on our team, but he's an artist, does painting and so forth as well. Talented folks. Right, I've been around, I've seen some people that
can do these things. Now that isn't me, And I'm going to take you another step further and say it's not Hunter Biden. Now, I'm not saying he has no talent. That's I mean, he has more talent than me. But I think all of my children had more talent than me, probably around age three or four when it came to drawing and painting and coloring and that sort of thing, or clay or anything else. So but Biden, Hunter Biden's around fifty, picks up the paint brush, discovers a.
He's a prodigy. I mean, this is basically Picasso. In fact, I call him on occasion Picasso on this program to illustrate this point. You know how incredibly rare, how incredibly rare it is for an artist to demand a half million dollars for one of his pieces of his pieces of art,
especially my friends if they're still living. I mean, there seems to be a correlation between art going up in value once an artist passes away, and there's obviously a fixed number of paintings that one there's no more new paintings. There's not going to be more than they're currently is. And of course obscure, well, scarcity or something being rare is one of the factors into the
value of these sorts of things. And oftentimes we have phrases like starving artists who might be very talented, but they just can't find a way to monetize their work when they're when they're living. I'm not saying that nobody makes it, no misunderstand I'm saying it's just it's very very rare air. And this guy happens to be the vice president, well now the president's son, and he hadn't picked up a paint brush and s he was finger painting in kindergarten
or whatever. It just makes no sense. And then again you factor in the very subjective nature of art, where someone can say that's not worth a
penny to me. It looks like someone grabbed a paint can and through a through a can of paint on a canvas and other people who think it's the most emotionally moving, visually pleasing item in the on the face of the planet or whatever, right, And so it's subjective, and then it's hard to determine value, right because now if I have one buyer who thinks that this is worth a lot of money, then I can engage with that one buyer
and get paid pretty handsomely for that. And so it's hard to say, you know, if you're selling cars, right, if you're selling cars who are and you're selling them on your lot, and you're getting ten or twenty or fifty thousand dollars more per car than the guy down the street is for a comparable vehicle, at some point someone has to think what's going on, especially if the car dealer's dad is the Vice President of the United States,
and all the people coming in there are people who are donors to the campaign, and all the people coming in there are people that are wanting favors from the administration or from the United States government. You see an envoy of Chinese government officials coming into the car lot, buying the car lot, you know, completely stripping it bear, removing all the cars, paying twice face value or whatever fair market value for these things. I think you would have questions.
We should, especially if the following week there's some big deal negotiated with China that's in there in their favor, something that's beneficial to the country of China. Right, I mean, this is common sense and so but people do this in the world of art because it's so subjective, and it's like nailing jello to the wall, and it's the president's son, it's not the president himself, and you know this is supposed to be an operation that's legitimate.
We've got some fancy art curator, some specialist telling us that Hunter Biden is a generational talent. I've got the quote. It wasn't generational, but I think he said the most consequential, one of the most consequential artists of this century, which is craziness. Now, Hunter Biden might be consequential, but not based upon his art talent. It's because something else is going on
there, allegedly potentially. Anyway, I want to dig a little bit deeper into this and paint this picture no pun intended there, paint this picture a little bit better. But I've gonnake a time out a little bit long on this segment. My friend sit tight back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Yes, we will talk about how Hunter Biden's art dealer has said that Hunter Biden is one of the most consequential artists in this century. Oh, I just can't. I cannot believe how people take this
at face value. This is so alarm bells should be screaming. Alarm bells should be ringing and rattling and blazing and blaring in people's minds when they hear these things, But of course they don't for some folks. Anyway, we'll get to that in a moment. Let me tell you a bit about sales arbiter who helps me and my team, my sales team with the selling process.
We of course have a team that sells advertising for this program, and Crisp and Cruz has come in and coached and helped our sales team, helped them to improve in their selling abilities, helping us to find ways to shorten sales cycles. We're looking for ways, and we've brought him on to help us to expand and grow the sales team. Of course, he's provided training for folks, provided coaching for folks. He's helped us improve in areas.
It's what he and his team at Sales Arbiter do, And again there's difference between coaching and training. A lot of folks will go off the training, check it off their list, come back, but there's no accountability. Right
I coach a little league girls basketball team. I can tell you from experience that you can draw up the plays during the practice, you can run them in practice, then the game begins and then you call out the play and some might look at you as though they've never heard that word in their life. So there's a difference between being trained and actually being coached on how to
apply the training and Crispin and his team to do that. So, if you're responsible for sales, if you're responsible for trying to generate revenue for your business, you're responsible as a sales manager, as a salesperson, as a business owner. If you just want to take the bull by the horns and go to your owner of your company, the sales manager, and say, hey, I think that there's some idea, here's something I think that can
help our sales process. Crispin and his team can certainly provide that much needed assistance. So Sales Arbiter dot com is the website sales arbiter dot com. Crispin Cruiz is his name, great guy, great just he and I become friends through this process. But they do, they do provide a lot of a lot of support for the sales team, a lot of coaching and training, and they might be able to help you. So encourage you to reach out to them if you are in need of those things. Sales arbiter dot
com. So let's get back here. Let's get back here to this Hunter Biden art scandal story. This is a story from well, actually about a year ago. It looks like, excuse me, almost a year exactly, January twenty sixth of twenty twenty three. Headline here in New York Post. Hunter Biden art dealer Hale's first son, as quote, one of the most consequential artists in fact, if you read this, if you read this, he says this, This is his art dealer, Hunter's art dealer. What's
his first name? His last name is Bird George Burgess. I represent Hunter Biden because I feel that not only his art merits my representation, but because his personal narrative, which gives birth to his art, is very much needed in the world, whatever that's supposed to mean, he continues, His is
a story of perseverance. Hunter's story reflects what I believe is the beauty of humanity, judged not by the fall, but by having the strength to rise up, by having the character required to change and the courage to do it. I mean, Hunter is This is me summarizing that statement. Hunter is just the hero in this story, he continues. Hunter Biden's art reflects all of that and more. It provides more than that. It provides more than
the story of humanity's perseverance. I mean this, this art, my friends, change your life, change your life. I'll go back to what Burgess said here. His art gives us hope. It reminds us that tomorrow brings a new day. Did you get that line from Kamala Harris? Tomorrow brings a new day, my friends? Did you know that? A new beginning, a new possibility? Burgess added, here it is Here's the line.
Hunter Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in this century. Because now I don't disagree with that first statement, but he says this, This is not the reason his art is going to be most consequential. The for this century. Burgess says that it's because the world needs his art now more. I'm sorry, I can't The world needs his art now more than ever. In a world that beats us down. We need art in our lives that reminds us of the unrelenting divinity within each of us. My friends,
Hunter Biden's art will make you feel like Almighty God. That's the only That's what I'm taking from this. Now. Of course, that's preposterous nonsense. We are not we are created in the image of the divine. We are not ourselves divine. In fact, biblically speaking, biblically speaking, were people in need of a savior, were in need of the divine? The divine doesn't come from within, It comes from our creator. But nonetheless, nonetheless,
this is actually laying it on thick, my goodness. So Hunter Biden's story is about the perseverance of humanity itself, and it shows us, It reminds us that we have unrelenting divinity within us. That's what this George, well, this Burgess, his art dealer says about him. Now, I happen to think that this he might not be completely wrong here in the sense that Hunter Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in this century.
But not because the world needs his arm art. You don't need his art. I don't need his art. The people paying massive amounts of money don't need his art for his art's sake. They need his art allegedly ostensibly potentially because of what that art purchase might do. Now, this is where the
rubber meets the road. This is where the rubber meets the road. So there was testimony before a group of impeachment investigators recently, and that's what I want to get to in the moments that we have remaining in today's program, because they found out quite a bit. They found out that there wasn't this wall of separation between Hunter Biden and the names of the people who bought his art, because that was how they were supposedly trying to set this up to
say, Okay, look, this guy is an artistic prodigy. We can't punish him. He's got to be able to sell his art. I mean, people are wanting to spend five hundred thousand dollars on this art. It's crazy. This is rivals some of the most famous artists that you can think of. What he's getting for some of this art, and so we shouldn't punish him. He's got to be able to sell it, so to prove, to demonstrate that he's not on the take here. There's no funny business
going on. We're going to have this wall of separation. George Burgess will do all the handling of the transactions. He'll sell it. Hunter Biden will be behind the curtain, much like Oz is here at the show and won't know anything going on, won't know the name's identity. So you can't say that there was some sort of a quid pro quo here going on. There was just an exchange of money for the true value of this piece of art.
So is that really what's been going on? Well, fortunately George Burgess has provided some testimony, and I'll tell you on the other side of the break, my friend sit tight back here in mere moments. Welcome back to my friends. Not a lot of time to get into this. This is
in today's stack of stuff. But I do want to tell you that according to George Burgess's testimony for the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, he has basically said that Hunter Biden did, from his understanding, know the identity of seventy percent seven zero percent of his buyers. Some of those, of course, were Democrat donors. On top of that, on top of that, he was requesting he was actually requesting to know who these buyers were. And Burgess
said that that is uncommon. In fact, he represents a total of fifteen artists. None of the other artists would ever ask him who was buying the art. So a lot of this is not shaping up the way that the bidens wanted to. In fact, they also asked Burgess if he had spoken to President Bribery himself, and he says, yes, I have. So where's this separation between the selling of the art and the political processes? Certainly warrants this investigation? Quick time out, my friends, Back in a minute.
I'm back, my friends. This is, in fact the reason, well we've been talking about today, the very reason why there is an impeachment inquiry into President Bribery. It's precisely why I use the moniker the nickname President Bribery, allegedly because of all the things, and we haven't even scratched the surface. I mean, you start going into emails and texts and you talk about ten percent for the big guy, and you look at financial records.
There's a whole lot of evidence that something nefarious may be happening here. This is completely inexcusable, unacceptable in our system of governance, and it has to be It has to be stopped. So we'll see what happens from here. Music's telling me it's time to wrap up for today, my friends. Thank you so much for listening, listening to have a great day. STG.
