Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Tod Huff. Well, greeting's my friends, and welcome. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The voice is it's better. It's eighty five percent at least that's
what it feels like to me. A little bit raspy. I feel can't hit those high notes as I am accustomed, but I am doing better getting the voice back slowly, but surely. It's good to be here on this Monday email. Should you want to be part of the conversation today tot at todhofshow dot com. You can also text us three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. So a couple of things I want to get to today, actually a lot of stuff, And again i'll say this off the top.
For those of you that have listened for some time, you know the routine here. For those of you that don't, you can always go to our website Todhoffshow dot com and you can take a look at the stack of stuff, which is basically, well, it's usually a series of articles. I've got a couple of bullet points in here about some things that I want to talk about today, update you on since here we are here. First of all, this is the last the last week, the last week before
Christmas. So what does that mean. That means a couple of things. That means Number one, if you don't have your Christmas shopping done, which some of you might not. Most well, if it wasn't for my wife, there wouldn't be anything done on my side. But but but but the some of you have that to get done. The other thing is this is here. We are at the end of the year, so we're going to be out. I'll be out next week, which means I won't be returning
until I believe January. Second, we'll be in this entire week. I know it's it's tough, it's tough to deal with. I can understand. I just want to prepare you for that week of of me not being here. There will be a combination of some Encore best of stuff, and potentially there might be a couple of guest hosts as well. We'll see how that actually plays out. So out the rest next week and then back I think
on January second. Now, January second has special meaning to me, and it's not because well it didn't until until I would say, at the end of last week. And I want to tell you the reason why. And I think I just want to share this with you, so I want you to be the first to know. I have not announced this anywhere. We've talked about it internally that sort of thing, but I've not announced it.
There's not been press release or anything like that. But I do want to let you know that we are in the process of expanding onto thirteen one to three thirteen new stations around this great nation. The program will be on I think it's going to be on at five pm, well five pm Eastern, so this will this actually will simulcast at the same time to multiple markets, so it's five pm Eastern, four pm Central, you get the idea, three pm Mountain, two pm Pacific. That's what time this will air.
It's going to be on in Tampa, Florida. It's going to be on in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's going to be on in Macon, Georgia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Boulder, Colorado, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, PA. The Colts just beat I can say that right now because we're not on in Pittsburgh yet, but the Colts just beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.
I guess it was Long Beach, California. We're gonna be on in the villages in Florida, Colorado Springs, Colorado, Jacksonville, Florida, our Nation's capital, Washington, d C. And in the city of rock Hill, South Carolina. So that's exciting, and I just want to share that with you because I know we mention these things from time to time about expanding. We've joined the Audio one radio network and all that stuff's going on. I just wanted to share that with you here off of the top of the
program. So that's gonna be January second, So when we come back after this will be the last week before that happens. Well there's one week of course between there, but I'm not going to be here anyway, So there you go. January second is when we will hit the airwaves there. The other thing I want to tell you is, just like is the case with Thanksgiving, we do an episode the day before Christmas. That's one of my favorites, which again may or may not mean anything to you. I don't
know. You might like the other episodes better. I can't really argue with you, because they're all pretty darn good if you're asking me, But this is one of my favorites, and we'll do that on Friday special Christmas episode. So all of that being said, and there's a couple of things that I want to get to news wise here off off of the top of the
program today. So saw over the weekend that you know, if you haven't followed or if you're not familiar with Bill Maher, and I know, Bill Maher is a liberal, and you're gonna hear me say, and this is an important distinction. Bill Maher is not a radical leftist. He's not. He's a liberal. And there are some things that Bill Maher has said that I mean, it's just, you know, not the greatest in the world.
I'm not here to defend Bill Bill Maher, but I am here to say that Bill Maher has been right on a lot of things lately, a whole lot of things. And he's basically right when he calls out the radical left. Now, what do I mean the quick difference between a liberal and the godless extremist radical left. The liberal in America used to be the primary
political opponent. I guess that we had in this country someone who really just wanted the government to spend a little bit more money or sometimes a lot more money, to tax a little bit more or sometimes tax a lot more. They were okay with growing the government. They always looked to the government first. So there's a lot of fundamental problems, but they did not hate this
country as founded in general. In general. Now, there's of course some exceptions to that, and of course there's degrees of all of these worldviews and ideologies, political composition of this country and so forth. So it's but I'm talking about the traditional the traditional liberal I would welcome. I would welcome with open arms. The battle between having political fights between liberals and conservatives. Again,
that has seat well, it still of course happens. But the main fight that we are fighting today is because the radical left has taken over the Democrat Party. And you could say, you could say that the liberals have taken over some of the Republican Party. They still control some of the Democrat Party, as well, and then the conservatives oftentimes are a bunch of weenies. So then you have this mess where you've got the radical extremists running the
show. You got those who are already ideologically problematic to this country, liberals who are really the ones who are in some degree right now have what's happening in Washington, DC is a battle between the liberals and the radical left. Perhaps the greatest example of that is this battle that's being waged over what to do in Israel regarding the Hamas war. If you remember, you've got the Rashida talbs, the AOC's, the Corey Bush's. And by the way,
I got some messages, some messages, mostly on social media. I know those of you who listen here, those of you who listen here know no better. But I was amazed at there was a SoundBite the good bad guy threw up on one of our social media platforms. This has been a while ago, and I referenced Corey Bush something that she you hear me say that, she said, Corey Bush, my friends is female. I got more to pull messages, and I don't read these things. I don't read it
anymore at all. If you want to get me I've told you at the beginning of the show how to get me, and again I do my best to get back. But I don't even read the comments anymore. But I was reading them at the time, and I'm like, how many people I say she Corey Bush, And they're like, Corey Bush is a heat that's the comment. And I'm thinking, she absolutely isn't unless she made some announcement about her gender identity that I wasn't aware of. But Corey Bush is female.
She's a representative from I thinks I know Missouri. I think it's Saint
Louis anyway, So, but Corey Bush. These are the radical leftists, the godless blame America first, hate this nation as founded, malign attack, assault this nation, and push this country as far to the extreme fringes as possible, destroying the fabric of this society, destroying this economy, looking for an opportunity to recreate that the economy, the society, the culture into something or based upon something that they have a much better ideological connection with, which
is something that's on the extreme radical left. So they, of course they're the ones out there chanting free Palestine from the river to the sea. Palestine will be free. They're the ones out there in many cases that are defending Hamas, which, by the way, and the stack of stuff I see here, let's see two things. Net and Yahoo good for him, by the way, says that nothing Biden, listen up. Nothing's going to stop Israel from destroying Hamas. That absolutely has to happen. And then the other
thing is the IDF. The Israeli Defense Forces discovered weapons inside inside of a Gaza hospital. Specifically, not just inside the hospital, inside the nick you right, this is the neonatal intensive care units, the nick U incubators. So they found weapons inside the incubators that protect supposedly are designed to protect babies who are in the neonatal intensive care units. Weapons were in there shockingly. Right. By the way, there's also an item in here where there's a
Democrat. I'm not gonna have time to get to it, but a Democrat congresswoman who seems to actually understand what's going on in Gaza relating to Hamas the Palestinians. She pointed out, she's a representative from Michigan that this money that we're giving an aid to Palestine just ends up going to Hamas, and that Hamas is the problem. I applaud her, and that's what I mean. We have liberals who are on the side of at least decency in the correct
side here, which is the side of Israel. You've got the radical left, the Rashida Talibs, the aocs and folks like that who are on the side of Hamas, actually Hamas, which is crazy terrorist organization two thousand and one people in this country twenty almost twenty three years ago, twenty two years ago. What you could not have convinced someone to say in twenty years there are going to be congresswomen, congress people in the House of Representatives who are
going to be pro terrorists. That's what's happening. Good bad guy. Don't put that on social media. They will knock that down faster than you can say sorry. Anyway. Bottom line is that that's the rift between the Democrat Party today. And so Bill Maher is a liberal. He's not a leftist. He sees the role of government in ways that's dangerous, don't mist understand.
But he doesn't hate this country. Has found that he doesn't want to dismantle it to the point of rebuilding it in leftist utopia kind of well, just whatever their deranged worldview says is the best way for government to manage the lives of people. That doesn't involve the constitution, that doesn't involve liberty, that doesn't involve free speech. He's not to that point, and there's a
lot of liberals who are with him and not with the radical left. So but that being said, that being said, there's a guest on his program,
it say individual that works at the CNN network. Her name is Laura Coates, and she was talking about basically trying to reconcile, reconcile polling that shows Americans hate Biden's economy, how Americans hate what's going on with their pocketbooks, with their jobs, with inflation as well they should as well they should, And she's out there bemoaning the fact she's saying americans trust, she called feel anomics, how they feel more than the data. They're not trusting the
data. They're not trusting what all these experts are telling us. They're not trusting what all the technocrats and the leftists economists are telling us about how wonderful of a job this economy is really doing. And no one knows it because for whatever reason, we've been tricked into trusting our feelings, and we can't accept the brilliance of Joe Biden, president bribery, his administration, what the left has been doing. So time out is going to be taken here.
When I get back, I want to play this sound bite and talk about this. There's actually a couple of very teachable moments in the stack of stuff today. I'm going to get through as many of them as I can, starting with this one on the other side of the break. Voice again, maybe a little bit raspy, but I promise you it is several times better than it was last week. My friends, sit tight. You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. By the way, be advised listening to this
programming in fact, cause you to lean to the right. So exercise extreme caution when operating a vehicle, heavy machinery, heck walking and standing my friends back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So, as I shared with you prior prior to the break, sorry about this. We're going to talk about this segment that's on Bill Maher, that was on
Bill Maher over the weekend. This person that you're going to hear respond to Bill Maher is named Laura Coats. Laura Coats of CNN and Bill Maher is basically trying to get answers from well other liberals as to why Americans are flipping their support running from Biden. I don't see it this way. By the way, the polls have been. You know, the polls a while ago showed this this race was always neck and neck. It wasn't as though Biden
ever really had a substantial lead over Trump. This has continued to move in Trump's direction over the course of time that we've started doing polling here, serious polling in regards to the twenty twenty four presidential election. And so the assumption, of course is that it's going to be Biden versus Trump, and I think people are coming to that reality. People have lived now for what three years under the utopia promised. Remember again, I don't think this can be
over. We were told that Biden was going to come in and fix what Trump had destroyed. We were told that Biden was going to come in and restore America's standing in the world. We were told that we were a millimeter away from absolute calamity and destruction under President Trump. Of course, none of that materialized. Instead, all of this has materialized on President Joseph Robinette Bribery's watch, All of it has all of it has materialized right here before our
very eyes. People have lived it, people have experienced it. People have had enough of this nonsense. It is night and day compared to what it was in two thousand and I'll say nineteen, because twenty twenty, of course was was the COVID shutdown here, but that wasn't because of policy enacted by the President of the United States. Now you could say, you could say
that there were definitely problems that came from doctor Fauci. I'm not arguing that, but as it came to to shut downs and that sort of thing, those things were done by by states. I don't think that looking back on it, it's easy to have to have answers and to point out the problems.
But in the in the middle of all that, well, the bottom line is Trump without being manipulated by whatever was going to happen with COVID the three years the first Let's compare the first three years of his term in office
with the first three years of Biden's term in office. Every almost every solitary person walking the face of this planet today, who was alive and then paying attention three years ago and then whatever it was seven years ago, and you compare and contrast what's happened, you know, under Trump's presidency and under Biden's term in office as well. It's obvious. I mean that there's just people don't need to be told which situation was better. So these polls come out
and now Biden's down by ten and some of these things. Bill Maher's trying to get answers, And I want you to listen to this exchange again. This is CNN's Laura Coates responding, And you're gonna hear Bill Maher first, and then you're gonna hear her response. Let me end me. There we go. Now you'll be able to hear it. Here. It is today that Trump is beating Biden by ten points, forty eight to thirty eight. And only last month Biden was up by four. He lost fourteen points in
a month. And it's a month where the economy seemed to be getting better, it seemed like inflation is getting more under control. The stock market just to a record high. What was the fourteen point loss about it? It can't all be Hunter Biden. I know were I don't know. I feel like people talk about the philonomics right how I feel about anything more than what the actual date is. And I'm far from my home turf talking about inflation and everything else. I know how much milk costs, I know how much
gas costs. I know how I feel about both. But people are not always on board and saying, you might be telling me all the winds you have, but if I don't feel like I'm winning, then I'm not winning and you won't either. I don't vote. When you heard the crowd there right applaud that I you might be telling me, she says about all the wins that we're having, but I don't feel them. And if I'm not gonna win, you're not gonna win either. A couple of things Number one.
Number one part of the Democrat strategy is built upon predicated upon trying to convince people that what they've experienced either didn't happen it wasn't as bad as they thought it was. It's not really Biden's fault, It's Trump's fault that they have to do something right. They have to say, well, that's your problem, right, you feel this way? You feel this way, but the data, Oh, the precious data, the precious data, which, by the way, here's here's my problem. I have no problem with actual
real data, right, I actually welcome that. My problem is who does the data collecting, who does the data analyzing, Who asked the questions when it comes to say polling, for an example, who asked the questions that determine what the data is actually going to be. This, my friends, is a major, major, major problem. Right. It's akin to voting. It's a kin to voting in so far saying, hey, I'm okay
with going in and casting my ballot. I'm okay with Americans who are legally allowed to do so, to go in there and to cast their ballot. But you know, I've got questions about what's happening after that based upon what I've seen. In the same way the people that are counting the data, tabulating the results, telling us what the data is, and then of course extrapolating that, interpreting that, sharing that with us. I'm skeptical of those folks. They have an axe to grind, they have a dog in the
fight. They do not do not want to move in the direction that Trump was trying to take us they do not want to move in the direction of limited government. They do not want to move in a direction where taxes are cut and regulations are cut and we're dropping out of climate change trees or whatever else. They don't want that. They want more centralized control. They want more silencing of political opposition. They want more thought police. This is who
they are. They can't win in a fair fight. Rush used to say, tying one arm behind his back just to make it half his brain. He said, half my brain. I should say, tied behind my back, just to make it fair. And in reality, that's what the left wants, that's what they desire, because they cannot win in the light of day. My friends, they can't. They cannot win in the light of
day. If we see these things for how they truly are, if we can communicate them in ways that we want to communicate them and articulate them, and there's actually debates on substance instead of fear mongering, instead of on the
politics of personalities and all the sort of games that are played Republicans. And again I'm not the best cheerleader for the Republicans as a whole, but clearly they're better Between Republicans and Democrats. But I'm saying people, as I've said in my column, as I said on here, eighty percent of this nation would agree with eighty percent of the things that we say. Of course, I think one hundred percent of the people should agree with one hundred percent,
but that's beside the point. Right now, I think that these ideas are connecting with the American people. The American people love how this nation was founded. The American people care about this nation. Outside of the radical left and some of their lunatics out there and so forth, the vast majority of the people want to do its best for this country. But they are deceived.
They are stirred into a frenzy. They are distracted with narratives. They're not really allowed to have a debate on the substance and on the ideas because that, of course, is not advantageous to the left. And so now they're stuck with this dilemma because when Trump's in office, then they can say to you, everything that's bad is because of Trump, and everything that is good is about to be bad because of Trump. And that's what they did for
Trump's entire presidency. That's how they ran to the twenty twenty That's how they got people to be terrified of President Trump. He's gonna you remember Nancy Pelosi talking about keeping the nuclear codes from him in his last days in office and so forth. It's just craziness. It's complete and utter lunacy. The point that we got to people screaming at the universe because Trump won, people requesting service animals, people requesting and purchasing adult coloring books. It's just silly,
ridiculous, nonsense, virtue signaling group think. Right, the influential people are telling us Trump bad, Orange man bad. Be afraid of Trump, be afraid of Trump, vote Biden. He's got aviators. He's gonna restore America's decency. Come on, man, just do the thing, you know, the thing cares about his gaffs. Who cares that he can't complete a thought, Who cares that he can't finish a sentence, Who cares about any of that? He's not Trump. That's what they did. And so now the
shoe is on the other foot. Now we have lived with this for three years. We have washed inflation go through the roof, and people are now being criticized here, criticized here by Laura Coates because they trust their feelings now more than the data. Where was this talk in twenty twenty? Quick time out? More to say on this, my friends. We got to take a break back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends mentioned
earlier. Here we are at the end of the year. Healthcare costs are expected to increase five to eight percent in twenty twenty four, which is just right around the corner. It's not too late. It's not too late. Maybe you've put it off. I get it. We get busy. I'm actually notorious for this. How can be notorious for this? We put it off, got a lot on the plate, and you realize I don't have as much time as I thought. I had too many things going on.
Whatever the case. Whatever the case, my friends, But if you need to take a look at your health insurance situation, whether it's an individual plan, a group plan, whether it's Medicare help, whatever the case may be, I encourage you to reach out to my friend Eric Wilson, I sell Health. He's been serving clients throughout this great nation since two thousand and four. He's an expert in the Affordable Care Act. Can help you navigate that
walk through the complexities of you know just the entire process. He's got access to different solutions depending upon your particular situation. You can call and talk to Eric for free. I Lost consultation. Eric's a great guy. I've known Eric for a few years now. You can call him. Three excuse me, eight one five. I want to give on my number for Eric. That won't get you to Eric his number eight one five three seven two thirteen
sixty three three eight one five three seven two thirteen sixty three. Or perhaps the easier thing to do is just go to his website the letter I Sell Health. I sell health dot com s E L L. I sell health dot com eight one five three seven two thirteen sixty three. Be sure to tell Eric you heard about him here on our program. Great guy. My friends will be able to help you. Oz asked me during the break by the way, she said, who's this Laura Coats? And you know,
I just want to get into it. It doesn't from my vantage point, and maybe some of you have who is this? Well? She she's a legal analyst on CNN. She has a show called The Laura Coats Show that's on Serious XMP. See I can say that to you because nobody's going to go listen to this. It's not like I can drive you to her program because you're not going to want to hear her program because it can't be as good as this, and it definitely isn't going to be as right as this
either. One of those things are not going to be true. But she has she has a show, she's a legal analyst on CNN, and I say it doesn't matter, not to be disrespectful to them as coats, but because everyone in media has this universal perspective from at least the left side of the aisle. And that's what she was talking about. By the way, in that last segment, when I played the clip from Bill Maher, he was talking about inflation. Inflation's coming down. That's not the right way to
say it. So inflation, with some exceptions, in modern times, we're always experiencing some degree of inflation. Maybe it's a percent or two, but it's usually not super noticeable. It became super noticeable under this administration because we had started spending money, and honestly it goes back to twenty twenty as well. When we spent money, we didn't have created it out of nothing.
That's what happens when the money supply outpaces the actual value that's created in the economy itself, which by the way, goes to zero when you tell everyone they can't work. Right. That's effectively what happened in twenty twenty, and then, of course we continue to spend money into Biden's presidency in twenty one, which caused these problems to amplify. You know, what, they give us numbers what inflation actually was, I don't know. I some of you
would say they were much worse in reality. I tend thing that that's probably a fair thing to think. I try to be fair because I can only talk about what the official numbers were because I'm not you know, I just that's that's not my world of tracking that data. But it was it was it nine percent, It got up to eight or nine percent. So it's not like it's not like it got high and then it said, oh now it's going to go back. No, all that's happened is it increased incredibly
rapidly and now it's plateaued and it's it's still increasing. I don't know the most current number do we have. I don't know, if i'd have to look on Novembers, but it's still increasing. I remember it being three point something in I think October, So it's not as though it's coming down, it's just slowing. So what do they think the average person? I mean,
it just defies common sense. The average person watched the cost of everything go up because they the government may created too much money to be to represent and the real value creating the economy because they did not want to. Actually, they didn't want you to know how irresponsible that they are with how much money they're spending, and so they didn't share that with you. They didn't share that with any of us. They just turned on the printing presses so
to speak. It's all digital now, so they just basically started sending more money over to banks. But the bottom line is, why do they think people aren't going to notice that? I mean, give me a break, Americans, folks, we have to live within our means. We don't have a choice. We don't have a printing press, we don't have quantitative easing, we don't have any of that garbage that the federal government thinks that it has. It does have, but it doesn't have the right to just go
out there and start creating money. That's devalued. I mean, if you get down to it, they shouldn't be able to do this sort of stuff, but yet they do, But yet they do. And so now they're out there bemoaning, Well, why aren't these stupid Americans realizing they don't follow the data? You know what? It drives me bonkers when people say this, folks, there are some things that you don't need data on. I understand, hear me out. I don't need data. Neither do you,
by the way, to tell you. You don't need research to prove to you that freedom is good. You don't need data to go and say, we studied married couples, and we looked at those, you know, that had an affair, and looked at those that didn't, and we asked ourselves, which of these is is a you know, is being sexually faithful to one another in a marriage a good or bad thing? What does the data say? I don't need data to tell me that, and neither do you.
We don't need data to tell us that what they've done to our lives is responsible, is out of control, and there should be political consequences. We don't need data to tell us that. They need data. Now, this is the point. They need data to manipulate you and me into believing that what they're doing is actually for our good. Hogwash. My friends,
you know better, you've lived it, you've experienced it. Do not let what you know, what you experience, be changed by some poll that's been conducted, some study that's been funded by George Soros or whoever else that's designed to trick you into thinking something either happened that didn't happen, something didn't happen, that did happen, whatever it is, to protect their interest, the interests of the radical left, the Democrat Party. Don't fall for it.
It's all garbage. And I've got to take a break. My friends, sit tight back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Not a whole lot of time here. So there's there's other things that I want to that that were teachable, teachable moments, things that just illustrate, illustrate some of the obvious problems with with liberalism, with especially with the radical left
and so forth. That again, it's in the stack of stuff, and depending upon how this week shape shakes out, depends what happens in the news today. But some of these I might want to talk about throughout the rest of this week, because some of these things I just think are juicy, really good examples of some fundamental things that we need to articulate, explain,
discuss that sort of thing. So, but this this idea, going back to what Laura Coates was saying here that Americans shouldn't really be engaging in felonomics feeling. Everything from the two thousand and eight Barack Obama Joe Biden campaign was based upon feeling hope and change. What on earth did that even mean?
Hope and change? If? I mean, on the one hand, I guess it was ingenious because whatever someone hoped for and whatever someone had would have liked to see change in our society, government, whatever that could have been, what the campaign was about. Everything was I remember, I mean just people talked about Obama's jump shot as a reason to vote for him as as
president. It's just utterly ridiculous to me to think that at this point in time in our history, that people are manipulated by their feelings more now than they were in the past. It's insane to think that. To me, what they've done is they've experienced life under a leftist president. Quick time out. My friends back in a minute. Yes, my friends, plenty of
more to say, but I just don't have the time. I do want to repeat this for those who may not have heard the beginning of the program today, but just wanted to announce this and say thank you since you know this is this is home base. I mean here in this you that listened to this program on the podcast in India, on Red State Talk Radio wherever we have. We'll be starting on thirteen new stations January second, when we come back after the Christmas holiday, which is again this is our last week
of the year. I'm here behind the microphone, but January second, thirteen new markets, including Las Vegas, including Jacksonville, Florida, including Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I can't go through all of them. I just want to share that with you because you all have certainly helped us get that rolling, and I appreciate it very much and just wanted to share it with you, my friends. So gotta call it today. Thanks so much. Have a great one with my friends. STG.
