Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for a 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. Oh, the water went down the wrong pipe there, folks, As I took one last swig of water here before we started today's program. It
is good to be here today, you know. As I look at the stack of stuff, which you can always find on our website, a website Todhoffshow dot com, you know, where do we begin? Do we talk about Nikki Hayley losing the Nevada primary to literally nobody, which is a remarkable story. Reminds me again of John Kasich running in fourth place when there were only two Republican candidates back in twenty and sixteen. This has that vibe all
over again. Do I want to talk about Joseph Robinette Biden talking with dead French presidents? That's up there as well. Do I want to talk about this delusional New York Times piece blaming Republicans for refusing to secure the border. There's all kinds of crazy stuff. Also a gender doctor, which what is a gender doctor? We have created? You know, gender doctors. We're not even in anyone's imagination. I don't know metaphorically on the timeline of history.
Thirty seconds ago, this wasn't even a thing. But now there's a gender doctor, whatever that is. Who says parents who oppose children transitioning, he says that those parents are the ones who have a mental illness. Anyway, There's lots more in the stack of stuff today, my friends, but we will get to those as much of those things as we can in do course here today on the program. If you want to be part of the conversation, I welcome you to join us by emailing me Tied at totashow dot
com or texting three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. Let's start first. I suppose in the state of Nevada headline here Nikki Haley loses Nevada primary. To quote none of these candidates, So it's an interesting setup here. So Nevada, I always say Nevada. Trump told me to say Nevada, and I think people who are from Nevada saan Nevada. I said Nevada. But I'll do my best here. People from Nevada have a primary.
They had a primary on Tuesday, They have a caucus on Thursday. You have to if you were a candidate, you had to choose one of the two. You could be part of one of those things, but not both of those things. In fact, I want to read to you. This is an article that kind of explains that kind of explains this. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to me, but regardless, it says this. Voters are selecting candidates for president in the Democratic and Republican primaries. There
was some confusion. Former President Donald Trump was not on the Republican ballot. That's because he chose not to be. State law requires both major parties to have a primary, but they can also have a caucus, which the state GOP decided to do. Trump decided to participate in the caucus Thursday because the Nevada GOP said, you can only get delegates towards becoming the Republican nominee if you participate in the caucus. Candidates cannot participate in both. By the way,
this is NBC and of Montana that I found. I googled this looking for an explanation on some of this to share with you. There were seven candidates on the Republican primary ballot Tuesday. Whoever wins won't receive any delegates anyway, so you had to choose. So think about this, Think about the thought process here. If your Nicky Haley's campaign, you think there's a primary and a caucus, the primary is one hundred percent pointless. You cannot get
delegates. It is delegates that determine who the Republican nominee for President of the United States is. All of these primaries, all of these caucuses are designed to find a way or to give candidates a path to accumulate delegates so that they have enough delegates when we get to the Republican Convention later this summer for them to officially be nominated. They have to have a certain number of delegates
that they win in these state primaries and caucuses and so forth. And so Nicki Haley's campaign decided to run in the primary but not participate in the caucus, meaning she one hundred percent, one hundred percent consented to the idea that she was not going to get any delegates from the state of Nevada. Now, these are candidates. By the way, they're out there on the campaign trail, they're answering questions, why are you still especially her in particular right
now, why are you still in the race? You know, Trump is smoking you everywhere that he goes. He's gonna put a beat down on you metaphorically. Of course, I'm just talking politically. I'm not talking in real life physical. I just mean the political beatdown is being put down on you everywhere that you go, miss Haley. So why are you? Why are you still in the race? And of course didn't they explain, well, I think I can win. I think voters here should be looking at this,
well, why are you winning? Or excuse me running? I should say, why are you running in a race that there's no way for you to even have a victory. In fact, it was all downside because there was a an actual place on the ballot where you could say I want none of these candidates. And so she lost just I just it's mind boggling, but she loses to the selection on the ballot that said none of these candidates.
In fact, if I'm looking here, this is a tweet that went out sometime, what would it have been maybe right after midnight Eastern time on I guess yesterday morning Wednesday, And I don't know where the numbers are now because I haven't looked since I saw this. But none of these candidates had sixty one sixty one percent, sixty one percent, so sixty percent. Again
I don't Again, I don't know the final count. But this is with half of the precincts fifty three percent of the precincts polling or reporting, I should say they none of these candidates, so literally no one, no one won the republic excuse me, yes, the Republican primary in the state of Nevada. Nobody won. Nikki Haley finished in second. At this particular point in time, she was down about twenty nine points to No. One, and then Mike Pence and Tim Scott, who both have excused themselves from the
race. So basically, Nicki Hayley lost to no. One, finished second to No. One, and she edged out people that she beat them pretty significantly. About twenty eight points is what she beat Pence, but she eked out of victory there over other people that weren't even running. This is patently absurd and ridiculous. Why would you strategically even do this, there's nothing to gain. The only thing that could have happened is that you could have beat
none of these candidates a selection on the ballot that meant no one. I would rather have no one than have you. So let's say she won that primary, she can't get any delegates. She would have beaten no one who would have come in second place. Then she would have beat people that used to be in the race that are no longer in the race. What is the purpose of this? It is just embarrassing, no matter how you cut
it. And I understand there's deadlines and these things are probably done filed months ago, I don't know, and back when, back when these folks were all in there, I get it all. But this is just really embarrassing. But even beyond that, why would you run? Why if you were given the choice between playing or participating, I should say, in the round, in the in the caucus, if that's the one where the delegates are awarded, and if you really want voters to believe that you think you have
a chance, why would you not be there? Why would you not be there? Of course we all know the reason. They don't. They know that they can't win, and they know the only chance they have, the only chance they have at winning the Republican nomination, which is I mean slim to none. It's not even slim. Slim is an over exaggeration. It is practically zero. The only chance is if something comes up that prevents Trump
from being the Republican nominee. And I'm talking talking about things like not being able to be on ballots, or somehow a court rules him constitutionally ineligible for the ballot, or he gets convicted and is sentenced, and I mean, I don't even know if that'll do it, to be honest, but that is the only way that is their campaign strategy. We're not even going to try to play for the points the delegates. We're not trying to accumulate a
score here. We just want to be on a ballot that's purely symbolic. And in the symbolic ballot race that we were on, we finished second literally to no one. I just can't I can't wrap my head around whoever is strategizing over there. Whoever is strategizing over there is I mean, it has some real problem. It's kind of like, you know, I like UFC fighting, or you get to take boxing for example, as well, or
honestly, you could take say NC DOUBLEA basketball or football. It's if you schedule someone onto your you know, if you put someone on your schedule. Let's let's say you take a you know, a top ten, a top ten football program, and they schedule someone who's, you know, just trying to get into major Division one football. Maybe they're one double A. You know, these early season games, and they get on the count, they
get on the schedule, they get on the calendar. I remember a few years ago it was Michigan and something, Appalachian State or something like this. They go up, don't they beat Michigan at the Big House or something. It's been several years now, I can't remember. But you schedule these games where you really have nothing to gain. If you beat them, you were supposed to beat them, chances aren't if you beat them by thirty, you were supposed to beat them by forty, right, And if you lose,
my goodness, you stand to lose everything. Now you've lost to a team that you really probably shouldn't even have been scheduling to begin with. That is what this looks like to me. Why schedule yourself on a primary in a primary where you do not get delegates when you could have chosen to opt in to the caucus with Trump. I just I don't see any none of this
makes any sense to me. None of this makes any sense. And especially when one of the options on the ballot is for someone to go and vote for none of these candidates and now you lose, You lose quite literally to no one. This takes the place, I have to tell you, and I the presidential politics has always kind of gets me going on a couple of
things. And you know, it reminds me of twenty sixteen when the Democrats they always talk about having a diverse pool of candidates racially, ethnically, and they gave four old white men and a Clinton back in two thousand in sixteen. And I remember, of course, my favorite candidate in that bunch was sexy, sexy, sexy Martin O'Malley. I'm reminded of all these things. I'm reminded of John Kasich, which I alluded to earlier, when John Kasich
was running in fourth out of only two candidates. These things entertain me. It goes to show just how ridiculous some of these decisions are for people to stay in races but now I have a new one. I have a new one that may have eclipsed all of the rest and gone to the top of
the list of my favorite presidential primary one liner or just little factoid. Nikki Hayley running in a primary where she stands to gain nothing, literally zero delegates at stake, she chooses to run in the primary instead of the caucus.
The caucus is where they award the delegates. She doesn't want to do that, so she runs in primary where there's nothing to gain and everything to lose, and she loses to quite literally know one, I mean, folks, that is tough to be, that is tough to overcome, That is tough to look yourself in the in the mirror the next morning. And none of this is personal about Nicki Haley. It's not, but it's just when is
this gonna stop? When is reality going to set in here and they realize that this is, at best, this is at best some dream of utter fantasy, and at worse, something much much, much less likely than that, which again, practically speaking, we're talking we're talking zero probability here. Anyway, That's what happened on Tuesday. So lots of other things to get to today, my friends in the stack stuff. I'm taking a time out
here, quick time out. You're listening to conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one, the only tough huff back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. I looked this up and again this is I don't know if everything is reported yet. You know, we're about ninety percent of the vote tally from what I'm looking at here. None of these candidates, so no One, no One in Nevada in the primary got
sixty three point two percent. Nicki Haley, the first actual person who finished second in the Nevada primary, secured thirty point five percent of the vote. So another way of looking at this, which again Nicki Haley couldn't beat No. One and a bunch of people who dropped out in a primary where Trump wasn't even on the ballot. I mean, you can say this five hundred different ways. It is absolutely astonishing, humiliating, embarrassing. It's the kind
of thing that you can't come back from. I mean, you just can't come back from this. And she was already gone in this election anyway. Anyhow, that's where we stand with that. Now, let's shift our gears here, a little bit today. A little bit today, I want to talk a little bit about the border crisis, which is interesting, incidentally, because we were told, we were told that there was no crisis along the border. Remember this, Remember this, we were told that people like me.
I heard it from people. You're the one. In fact, I was told I've been told by people in comments, people have made the ridiculous comments that I'm the one. People like me who are pointing out the vulnerabilities of our border, We're the ones to blame. We're the ones to blame for the border crisis because we're people to just how inept our government has become.
And so by telling people across the airwaves over their podcast, people who are watching online or whatever, that I yours truly, this just a little easygoing guy behind the microphone here, as Rush used to say, harmless, lovable, little fuzzball, totally just minding my own business, explaining to you, articulating what we all know, what we all see happening before our very eyes. So that I'm the problem, that you're the problem for pointing out
just how bad border security is. Because it's a secret. We can't let them know. We can't let them know we're the ones. I mean, it's preposterous. Really, it's preposterous to say that we can't point out major deficiencies in our government in this administration, and if we do, we're somehow participating, contributing to the problem. How about this, how about this is a radical idea. When there's a problem, you do something to fix it.
You don't blame everybody and their brother for what is going on at the border when you yourself are clearly to blame. Now that being said, that being said, Biden is blaming Trump and Republicans and MAGA Republicans especially that may include many of you in this audience. You are part of the problem here. You are contributing. If you listen to Biden, you are contributing to
the problem. You're the ones that every time we see a problem with the border, I'm the one that we're all supposed to say, Hey, these Republicans and Trump, Trump and us are the ones to blame for this. I mean, you cannot make this stuff up. You cannot make that I don't know, just technically considered gas lighting. What would you call this?
So living in a delusional world, this is not rooted in truth to reality, By the way Senator Ted Cruz is out there saying Mitch McConnell needs to resign immediately because he has basically given the left political ammunition now to say that they tried to secure the border. Right, they tried to secure the border with this bill. Republicans opposed it. So Republicans don't want don't want to secure border. Now. You and I know because we understand the context.
You and I know because we understand what was in the bill. You and I know because we understand that Biden issued sixty four executive orders since he assumed office in January of twenty twenty one that directly led to the problems we're facing on their border today. But that, my friends, is a lot of things to say to people who only care about the quality of the jump shot
of the candidates. That, my friends, is a lot to try to communicate to people who are so enamored with things like dark Brandon or Biden's aviator glasses, or who he invited to the White House on a particular day. See, it's it's hard to Context requires a little bit of time. Context requires some thinking. Context requires piecing things together, analyzing, synthesizing, piecing things together, taking them apart, trying to understand where the problem lies.
There you go, it lies squarely at the foot of this administration. But but now, because we have this stupid bill that was introduced in the Senate, that we allowed them, well you and I didn't, but many people have allowed them to lie to us and tell us that it was about border security. It's about border security, when it was about one sixth of border
security five out of six things. From a perspective of the dollar spent five out of every six dollars spent in this proposed legislation would have gone to anything but the border. It would have gone to anybody's border, but the United States's border. In fact, if you listen to this whole silly little press conference or statement that Biden gave here when he takes the podium, he references his tie and he says, I'm wearing my Ukraine tie and my Ukraine pen.
Now wait a minute, back it up. Where's your American tie? Where's your American pen. I'm not saying Ukraine doesn't matter, But last time I checked, you were a president of the United States of America. Why are you more concerned about Ukraine's border than the border of the United States. And why are you even talking about Ukraine if this bill was just about border security. But see that takes thought, that takes consideration. That's not just
saying, Hey, what's hip? What's cool? What's the next thing that I should be involved with? Who are the celebrities supporting this? Share? Who are the athletes? You know what, what's Taylor Swift going to do? What's Taylor Swift going to do? All of these things is how the low information voter makes decisions. As terrifying as that may be. Anyway, let's listen to Biden here. Blame you, Blame me, Blame Trump for the border crisis. Between now and November, the American people are going to
know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump. This is Maggar Republican friends. Listen again, every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump, and is Maggar Republican friends. That's so, that's the conclusion that Biden wants you to draw. Biden wants you, the American voter, to draw the conclusion that Trump, who's not anywhere in office,
Trump is not making decisions. In fact, the decisions Trump has made concerning the border have been completely turned upon their head by your administration. It is remarkable to me what people can get away with in office, especially Democrats especially. And by the way, this is why people like me have a problem with the media, because none of this stuff stands any scrutiny whatsoever. None of this stands withstands the slightest degree of the most basic, benign form of
scrutiny. You can imagine. None of this can even withstand the simplest of questions. Trump was in office, we didn't have these problems. Trump instituted well. When Trump took office, there were problems. Trump instituted actions that he could take in the executive branch to secure to secure the border. Things got progressively better, demonstrably better, noticeably better. Then Biden comes into office.
Biden under does the things that Trump implemented completely want undoes them. Sixty four actions that essentially removed or turned upon their head anything that Trump had done to secure the border. So Biden does those things, border turns into absolute chaos and pandemonium. Biden then goes to the Congress and say, fix this problem. Mitch McConnell's we'll do that, and Mitch, we'll do that. Joel, we'll do that. And he puts together some bill that includes a
whole bunch of things besides just securing our border. Again, as I've said before, I'll say again, five out of every six dollars that were allocated in this bill went to someone's borders that was not named the United States of America. Yet they somehow want to get away with calling this bill a border security bill. And now they can go out there as they have taken to the podium. Now again, does it stand withstand the slightest bit of scrutiny.
No, no it does. Can they answer one question at all? No, they can't. If you ask one question, the entire stack of cards house of cards that they've created with this make believe narrative crumbles with one question. But here's the problem. The media doesn't ask it, and the people that are in the low information voter crowd do not know to ask the quay. They don't even think about what questions they might want to ask either.
They don't care. They're apathetic. They think that they're not smart enough to put the pieces of the puzzle together. They got to hear what someone else tells them. They feel like it's still cool to support Democrats, then they're going to do that. They've got radical professors if they go to college telling them a bunch of nonsense and how great the Democrats are. I mean,
it's it's a series of things that lead people. I want to I say, coerce people, coerce people into accepting a whole series of things that make no sense, just because of factors that have nothing to do with logic and what makes sense. It has to do with deception, it has to do with peer pressure, it has to do with being a part of the in crowd, whatever else, because none of this makes the slightest bit of sense. My friends, Biden blaming Trump, but blaming Trump for the lack
of border security preposterous in every conceivable way. Remember who stopped the construction of the border wall. I mean, you could go on and on. Just a few weeks ago, they were telling us there was no crisis. Now suddenly there is a crisis. This is when you hear me talk, and
I know I've gotta take a break. When you hear me talk when there's an issue that's early in as stages that's being you know, discussed, something happens that brings something to the surface, and they'll do these these trial runs that they'll do kind of a focus group in real time. Let's try responding like this, Let's try responding like that, and let's see which of these responses resonates most with the American people, and then that becomes the one that
they do. So at the beginning, they were saying, you know, there's no there's no crisis at the border. What are you talking about. We don't even know what you're talking about. Now they know that the cat is out of the bag on those They know that they cannot put the genie back in the bottle. The toothpaste has been squeezed from the tube, and so now they just ignore the fact that they've been telling you and me that there's no crisis. Now they suddenly want you to know that they believe there's
a crisis, but that someone else is responsible for it. Someone who's not in office, someone who wasn't in Washington, d C. For fifty years contributing to this nonsense, someone who actually built the border wall, someone who actually came up with policies like remain in Mexico remain in Mexico policies. Someone who took other steps to secure the border is somehow it fault remarkable that they can get away with this remarkable, absolutely insane theme. Out my friends back
in a minute, Welcome back to my friends. I want to tell you a little bit about this. Well. I get this thing email to me called The New York Times the morning. David Leonard is the one who writes, I think most of these, maybe all of these, I don't know. I think it's all of them, but what do I know. I'm want to read that in a moment, and I want you to listen how the left spins. It's truly a delusional piece. It's either absolutely delusion or
it is propaganda in fake news, or a combination thereof. But we'll get to that here and just a moment. But first, I want to tell you a little bit about our friends that I sell health. I sell Health serves clients throughout the country now for twenty years, my friends, twenty years, since two thousand and four. They help with individual health, they help with group health, and they can help with Medicare specialists. In fact, in those areas, they also know a lot about the Affordable Care Act.
That doesn't mean that they endorse it. It just means that they know how to navigate it, how to make the most sense out of that, and how to help you, the consumer, find a plan that makes the most sense given the healthcare landscape health insurance landscape of the day. Eric Wilson is the one who runs the show over at I Sell Health. I've known Eric for a good while now, and he will help you with a free,
absolute, no cost consultation. He'll walk through this very confusing world of health insurance, whether you are needing an individual policy, whether you are needing maybe group coverage, maybe you're looking at adding it for your company, maybe something with Medicare. Eric is there to help connect you with the plan that makes
the most sense. Again, a free no cost consultation phone number for Eric eight one five three seven to two thirteen sixty three eight one five three seven two one three sixty three, or simply visit his website at I sellhealth dot
com. I sell health dot com. So I mentioned here a moment ago that I have I get these little snippets or whatever from the New York Times called the Morning David Leonard, This morning as he writes here, we're covering Republicans in the border bill, as well as Trump, Michigan and vintage sportswear, which is probably I haven't read the vintage sportswear part, but my guess is that's probably the most coherent part of this because the rest of this is
pure delusion. So I want you to listen to this and this is how they spin it, and to Ted Drews's credit here, he's right, Mitch McConnell has allowed this to happen in the United States, writes David Leonard of The New York Times. Has had a porous border with Mexico for decades, and the situation has worsened in the past few years. Now, I just pause that it has had a poor He's right, We've had a porous border. It improved under Trump, and then he says it has gotten worse the
past few years. Notice how he did this casually. He didn't say since Biden came in. He didn't say since Biden rescinded all the executive orders that Trump put into place to make sure that the border was more secure, less porous. He didn't say that he had just gotten worse. What can you do about it. That's kind of the attitude here, he said. It's getting it's gotten worse the past few years, with more than ten thousand people entering the US on some days, many of them remained for years, even
without a visa or citizenship. Mayors, governors, and immigration experts. Oh yes, we cannot agree with or argue with the experts as well as voters. Almost feel like it pained him to write those words. Even these measly little voters have urged Congress, Oh, here we go. Have urged Congress to fix the problem. Folks, hear me say this. I'm not saying there's nothing that Congress can or should do about the border. If Biden simply returned to what Trump had done to secure the border, we would be in
a infinitely better place than we are today. Voters, my friends, have urged the government to fix the problem. Voters don't know what the heck who's to blame. They want it fixed, They want it fixed. They're not urging Congress for anything. They're urging the government to do what is a very straightforward and basic operation, which is secure sovereign border with a foreign nation. Not complicated, my friends, He continues this week, a bipartisan, bipartisan
group. I love this. By the way, bipartisan group of senators released a plan for doing so. Remember, by the way, out of every six dollars spent, five of them went to something that absolutely had zero to do with the border or border security. In fact, they didn't even have to do with the United States of America. They had to do with other nations borders like Ukraine and Israel. He continues, And for anybody who has grown cynical about Washington grown cynical, My goodness, this guy, he has
to live in Washington, DC or New York City. This is crazy talk. Anyway, the plan offered reasons for both surprise and further cynicism. Well, no kidding. It was an absolute piece of garbage. As I've said on this program, the surprising part is that productive bipartisanship seems to be alive. Oh, for Pete's sake, you have to be kidding me, even on an issue as divisive as immigration. As I've said before, this is gibberish. What he's saying. We have won the issue. We have won
on the issue of immigration. Americans want a secure border, Americans are fine with legal immigration, Americans are totally fine with that. That is not what any of this is about. This is about people who are just coming across the border, who are being released into the population. Some of these folks not certainly, no one's suggesting all of them, but some of these folks absolutely are for nations that have ties to terrorism. Some of them directly have
ties to terrorism. Some of them are smuggling fentanyl. Some of them are engaged in human trafficking. We go through this stuff. The American people want all of that to stop. This is not about by party. This is If this is partisan to you, you are part of the problem. If it is partisan to want to keep fit in a lot of this country. If it is partisan to want to stop child trafficking or sex trafficking victims and
help them and to stop people who are preying upon them. If that, my friends, if that is partisan, then I don't know what to say to this guy. This guy lives in a land that has no bearing in reality whatsoever. We have one. We have one on the issue. We have won the argument, but we are not winning politically because we have a bunch of dufases who either don't want to fix the problem, don't care about
fixing the problem, whatever the case may be. They like the cheap labor portion of this, which is absolutely just unconscionable, if that's how you look at this. But this isn't about bipartisanship. This is so completely obvious what needs to be done here, and they refuse to do it. And now it looks like the Democrats could win, at least politically some points on this issue because Republicans can't get the bill passed that they told people was about border
security. What a disaster. Mitch mcconnald Ted Cruise is right, needs to resign. There needs to be a new Senate minority leader, hopefully eventually in twenty four or in twenty five, I guess after the twenty four election, hopefully majority leader. But anyway, Mitch McConnell is part of this problem. I've got to take a time out with my friends. Sit tight back in a minute, Welcome back to my friends. So that's where we are.
That's where we are with this issue of the border security. How the outs well potentially could square up to give the Democrats. As crazy as this seems, and as crazy as these words sound coming out of my mouth, It may give the Democrats some political capital some it may have scored them some political points to say we tried, we tried to secure the border. But these
magga Republicans they want an open border. They want an open border so they can blame Biden and Trump can come in and of course make himself king forever. This is the planned, this is the strategy. They're colluding with one another for this. Well, let me tell you this. We did not make the situation that we have the day. Biden's the one that did that.
Biden is the one that did that. We were not the ones who for months demanded that people stop referring to what was happening along the southern border as a crisis, because we recognized it for what it was. We were not the ones who came into office the first day and rescinded virtually everything Trump did to further secure the border and then completely undo it. We didn't do
that. And then, of course we were not the ones who took actions that were absolutely antithetical to what worked and then claimed that our predecessor, who had implemented the things that did work, somehow part of the problem. What a joke, but it works on some of my friends, not on you, not on me, quick time out back, in a minute, welcome back. I referenced this. I want to say something about it really quickly. It's in today's stack of stuff on the website. This is a psychologist
named doctor Harriet Whims. In fact, you'll find it. It's a exclusive. This is with the Daily Caller. But there's one particular part of this I want to read to you in the waning moments. Here she says, here in the States, Janet Helms is a researcher who is explored racism for years and years, and she says that racism and other isms are a mental
illness and need to be addressed. And I think if I were working with this client, this is a client who was trying to, you know, a youth that was trying to transition to the other gender, she says, I would say, Okay, your parents, Unfortunately they're transphobic and I'm sorry, let's figure out some ways to deal with their mental illness. Wow, I gotta go, SDG
