Attention. You're listening to the Todd HF radio show, America's home for conservative not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean

to the right. Here's your conservative but not bitter host Todd Huff, My friends, the radical left, the media, the Democrat Party, and dare I say even some Republicans are not going to be happy when we are, when they realize what is in some of these recent polling numbers pertaining to a potential Trump versus Biden campaign here in twenty twenty four. We'll talk about that and other things on the program today. Greetings, By the way, my

friends, emails. Should you want to be part of today's discussion and who wouldn't want to be? Email Todd at todd upshow dot com thoughts, questions, feedback, adoration and praise. You can also text the Huff hot line three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. Just make sure that you make it count, my friends, and that you appropriately use the correct amounts of adoration and praise when addressing yours truly kidding, my friends, just kidding,

not kidding anyway. So reference off the top a couple of polls, and there's one in particular. Now, polling is something that is well, we're, first of all, we're very far out from the election in political terms. We are, I mean we're light years away. We're not even we're not even close yet. Right, We're going through the process technically of both parties choosing their respective well I say respective, I didn't say respected,

but their respective nominees. So that of course takes some time and some campaigning. But the writing is on the wall. I mean, it is Trump versus Biden, unless unless something crazy were to happen. Pardon me, trying to get the voicer. You know, every fall I deal with I think some seasonal fall allergies and on occasion a fall situation where the vocal cords are are hit. And hopefully this is not the beginning of that. As I'm already struggling here off the top, Oz is looking at me like, hey

man, but any amp. So this poll is a poll that's conducted by McLoughlin and I This is at Newsmax dot com. It is in the stack of stuff today. It says here headline McLoughlin poll Trump beats Biden in electoral landslide. That's what it says. That's what the poll, and this is a story about the poll. But this poll, which again where early I get that we don't even know for certain that this is going to be a Trump Biden election re you know, relitigating, I guess, or recampaigning the

twenty twenty election. But that's certainly what it looks to be. In fact, I remember hearing from some some folks who thought Biden would be out by Labor Day. Labor Day is incidentally Monday, and anything is possible. But again, who is their replacement candidates? That's I agree with you in the sense, in the sense that he should have been out by labor he should have been out by Labor Day of twenty twenty, he should have never been

on the list of candidates. But then again, you look at the next part of that equation and you say, well, who's the next person? And there's not a clear cut next choice, even for the crazy radicals running today's Democrat party. But Trump is leading Biden. Are you ready for this? Forty seven to forty three. This is a national poll, So why does this matter? So a couple of things about polling. Number one. Number one, polling is just a gauge. It is a tool. We

should not put everything in these polls. Polls can be biased, Polls can be incorrect. Certain groups of people that may cast ballots may not be captured in a represented in any proportional way in a poll. There are all sorts of assumptions that are made on turnout and that sort of thing. So polling, but it is a tool. It is a tool that we should at least consider and look at without acting as though it is the gospel truth.

The other thing with polling is that polls are not votes. Polls are opinions on how people will vote. Polls are predictive in the sense that if I say to you on the phone or on a online survey that I'm going to vote for President Trump or Trump for president in twenty twenty four, then that of course carries with it the assumption that I will actually carry out those those plans, and so votes matter, not polling. The other thing is polling

in recent years has been incredibly tight. Elections have been incredibly tight. We often see polls that fall within the margin of error, and so what did that Basically. What that basically means is that the people who put together the polls say, hey, we recognize that our poll is a tool. It is not the gospel truth. It is rooted in some sort of scientific analysis as to how we arrive at these numbers, but it will not be precise. And so there's a margin of error, margin of error plus or minus

whatever. It is two percent, three percent, four percent, five percent. I mean, depending on the sample size of the poll, and that sort of thing, we can get into numbers that mean the polls could fluctuate significantly. That's called the margin, the margin of error. And so these are simply tools, and I think by having something called the margin of error, we should understand that they are not cast in stone. The other thing is we're far out, as we've already alluded to. So opinions can change,

candidates can change, any number of things can change. Trump can end up in prison. I'm not predicting it, but it's certainly I put nothing past these clowns, my friends, these tyrants, these totalitarians, these folks who are completely comfortable and willing to use and weaponize the government against her own people. That's what we've got today. So nothing is off the table as

it pertains to Trump this election and so forth. But all of that said, all of that said, and even considering just how close these elections have been, right, I mean, this is we're at the point at that point in time where we have very very close elections, especially now. You

might have some states vote really strongly Republican or Democrat. But when when you do the math and when the vote talies come in for you across that country that could be really red or really blue or anything in between, when it averages out, I mean, it gets, it gets close nationally, and that's why we're close. In the House of Representative Republicans have the majority, but just a slim majority. That's why we're close. In the Senate,

Democrats have a majority, but just a slim majority. In fact, the last Senate was fifty fifty, with Kamala Harris casting the tie breaking vote, giving Democrats control of the Senate. Even though it was technically fifty fifty evenly split, the winner of the executive branch the White House actually determined who was in control of the Senate because the Vice president is president. Of a sentence, it turns out Sarah Palin was right when she was mocked and ridiculed back

in two thousand and was at two thousand and eight. I guess when she talked about one of the roles of the vice president, she was mocked relentlessly for something that is actually true that is very relevant in today's political discourse and political realities. But having Trump up by Biden forty seven forty three, in fact, his lead in this poll has increased by two points in the past

thirty days, the past month alone. And so when you realize realize that Trump won in twenty sixteen without having won the popular vote, he still won the election. And when you dig deeper into this poll and you find that Trump is leading in key battleground states, listen to this. He's leading in

key battleground states forty nine to forty one. Now that means what that means, And the analysis is that if this holds true, and if the election were to be held today, which is not the Trump's not the nominee and heck Biden's officially not his party's nominee either, even though he is sitting the incumbent sitting in the White House today, the math of this would mean that Trump would win not just not just a nail bider, not just in a

you know, sort of an election where it comes down to one or two states and so forth, and it's tightly contested within that state, say Georgia or Arizona. But this poll, again, I'm going from what this pole is saying. I'm not saying that won't be what happens on election day, because we're still a ways out and all that, but this would mean Trump would win in an electoral landslide, a landslide. If he's up forty nine forty one in key battleground states, that means he's going to win all the

toss up states. If you look at his national lead, and if you, of course you gotta dig deeper. But if you realize that Trump would win if this again holds true the popular vote, especially after having him win the presidency and losing the popular vote a vote in twenty sixteen, it becomes clear, becomes clear that he could win this in massive, massive fashion. So I'm going to tell you that the left knows this, The media knows

this. You know, they have internal polling, They have internal polling that they do constantly on their own. There's one of the part of this poll. I want to I want to mention here and again I'm looking at this article at newsmax dot com. It is in today's Stack of Stuff, August thirty of August. By the way, absolutely crazy to think that we're moving into the fall months. And yes, I don't want to talk about what comes after that with winter. This article points out even more remarkable, even

more remarkable than Trump leading Biden seven forty three. With our voter model for this poll, we assigned four more points of Biden twenty twenty voters than Trump twenty twenty voters. So, in other words, the poll, again, this is their methodology. This is the part that could be could be very

much wrong. This is the part where they're trying to manute well, depending on the polls, So they're either trying to manipulate the data or understand who is actually going to be voting and way the the poll in such a way that it reflects what they think actual turnout will be, because that's obviously an important part of this equation. But they said that they assigned four more points of Biden twenty twenty voters than Trump twenty twenty voters. In other words,

the a number of people who've voted for Biden in twenty twenty. They assigned four more points of those in this poll, and Trump is still up four. Meaning if Trump drives trump twenty twenty voters to the polls better than Biden does, this could be an even larger margin of victory, a massive electoral landslide. And I say this all today again, I don't like talking about polls. And it's one poll. There's others out there too. For example,

Emerson. An Emerson poll has Trump taking the lead for the first time. I believe in the twenty twenty four election polling, Trump actually leads Biden in a head to head matchup forty six to forty four in that poll. That's a plus a plus two. And so that is the point. Is is that this explains in case, in case, someone still doesn't want to see this political prosecution of Trump for what it is. This explains why, this explains why we know this now. And of course it's a subject to

change all those things that I said. But the people making political decisions within the Democrat Party, the radical left, who is completely paranoid that Trump is going to win, terrified that Trump is going to win, the people that are in the deep state, that are in the bureaucratic state, in the belly of the beast, who are making decisions for that beast to operate.

They're terrified, especially now with Trump. I saw Trumps made the comment that he's going to lock up the people that need to be locked up this time around. That's that's a whole nother discussion, a whole another discussion that will get to here in due course. But it this just illustrates how desperate. That's what I think the message should be. Because there's two ways of looking

at this. Right there's one to think, my goodness, our republic is hanging by a thread, or if a leftist is tuned in here today, our democracy is hanging by a threat. Oh my goodness, it really is about to collapse. But there's another way, another way of looking at this, And I think the healthier way of looking at this is that people have seen through enough, people have seen through the junk enough, people have realized

that things were infinitely better under Trump than they are under Biden. The ideas and the nonsense that is being pushed by the radical left is harming this country, is harming our children, harming our grandchildren in schools. It is giving them much smaller prospect at a successful future than they would have had under a free society, not a radically insane and deranged society that pushes moral depravity and lies about well the American way of life, the American system, and so

forth. We would be much better off with Trump or even in another on that stage, that debate stage, leading this nation than Biden. People have realized, they felt it in their pocket books for what two and a half years, I guess now it seems like fifty years. But people are awakened to this. People are onto the strategy. The jig is up in a large sense, in a large sense for these radical leftists and the Democrat Party and the media and the deceitful rush caught at the four corners of deceit,

and so all these forces working against us are people see through them. And that should be encouraging to everyone, everyone who cares about this great this great nation. So that being said, timeouts in order a little bit long this segment. But we have a lot to have hope in now. We still

have to endure the next couple of eighteen months or whatever it is. Sixteen months, we also have to get through the Trump indictments and all this, and there's gonna be one heck of a fight on the other side of that as well. There should be, and we should buckle up for that, because just simply winning an election is not where this stops. That is just the beginning, as I've shared before. But I gotta take a time out here long in this segment, my friends, you're listening to conservative, not

better talk. I am your host to Huff Todd Huff. Sorry, the voice is not acting properly today. I'm gonna hydrate here during the break and hopefully get it back to normal, back into a nut. I go back, my friends on the well in the last segment I mentioned and yes, I did take a drink there, and I think I'm feeling a little bit like my vocals are a little bit better than they had been, so sorry about that a couple of times last segment. But the I mentioned last segment

that Trump had made a comment I want to talk about this. I saw that he was speaking with Glenn Beck, and Glenn asked him, I'm just gonna read this transcript. He said, you said, talking to President Trump and President Trump, you said in twenty sixteen, you know, lock her up. And then when you became president, you said, we don't do that in America. That's not or that's just not the right thing to do. That's what they're doing. Do you regret not lock her up? And

if you're president again, will you lock people up? So that's the question there. Trump responded, he I'm not going to keep up the sound bite here, but he says, I'll give you an example. The answer is, you have no choice because they're doing it to us. I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency, but the office of the president. I get him reading Trump's response here, and I

never hit Biden as hard as I could have. And then I heard he was trying to indict me, and it was him that was doing it. So this is, of course, context matters. Context matters tremendously in a general sense, as a rule of thumb, as something we should all adhere to. We should not absolutely, unequivocally, in no circumstances, be engaged in going after our political adversaries, right, I mean we should agree on that in theory. Now, let me fill in the rest of the context.

If the rest of the context. This is where this is where it gets a little bit dicier. Let's say, for example, one particular group of political one group of political adversaries. I guess let's say there's two groups of politicians and I'm not even gonna name them. I'm just gonna paint the picture. You can assign, you know, the brands and the party names. However you want to do that, that's up to you as the as

the listener. But let's say both parties have an agreement it's whether spoken or unspoken, that we're not going to put you in jail for being part of our political opposition. Okay, that sounds great. We shouldn't we should not have that. Well, let's say one side starts using that knowledge, using that agreement against the other. Let's say that they then because the idea is,

what's the basic idea. The basic idea of not wanting to target your political adversaries is that you want to be able to have free, robust political discourse and debate. You don't want people to be held accountable because of something they did or said that was political to make an argument for their position, to define what their priorities were, should they be elected. We don't want those things to cause someone to face political prosecution or persecution or both. And

so that's a very very good standard. People should be able to make the arguments they want to make and let the voter decide. And if you oppose the people who end up winning, you should not be in prison because you stand against them as a threat in the next election, or because you're out there, even under their leadership, and when they're in the power political power, if you want to be out there criticizing them, you should be free

to do that. We do that here, never personal, by the way, So but they ought to be able to say it even if it's is this is going to rattle the cages of people who are out there trusting the fact checkers. But even if it's not true, even if it's not true, that the response to that's a lie should be to disprove the claim, versus silencing or at wars, trying to imprison or politically prosecute your political opponents. I think we should all be able to agree on that if we take

a deep breath, if we think about it objectively. Yes, I know that we've been burned by this because of what's happened. So, but the other part of the equation is if the others, if one or both groups are using that knowledge against the other side, and they know that they can get away with any number of things that I would argue having that agreement, having that understanding that we're not going to go after our political adversaries for politically

disagreeing with us. You can't simultaneously have that agreement while at the same time watching people weaponize the government using their position of political power to target your to target their political opposition for well trumped up charges, made up charges. And so this becomes very sticky because the principle is true. You do not want to have a culture, a society, a political system that makes it a habit to go after political adversaries. But what do you do if one group

is doing it? What do you do? That's to Trump's point here He says, I'm being forced to do this because they're coming. They're coming after me, and now when I'm when I'm elected, if I'm re elected, he would say, when I'm going to go after them, and then they're gonna come to me and say, well, you can't go after your political adversaries, to which he's going to say, well, that's what's been happening

all of these years, and is it not justified? Now, if you're the ones that are actually causing this, should you not be held accountable for doing that? Doesn't context matter? Even on these very important principles. We can't just state a position and a principle with no context and say that it applies universally. I mean, what if they were taking it to I mean, they are trying to deprive him of of his freedoms, my friend. They're trying to deprive him of his freedoms. And if you look at what

else they've done, this is not the first attempt at this. This is going on virtually ad infinitum. It's going to go on ad infinitum. It's not going to have an end unless he ends it, unless the voters end it. And then the question is what do we do? And the purest of me says, I don't want to go after people. But if they are manipulating, and if they are doing these things that we're trying to prevent

to begin with, at what point should accountability kick in? At what point should we say that they are literally breaking laws, abusing power and the Founders would have been infuriated by this. The Founders fought this very sort of thing when they fought the King of England, right when when we fought for our

independence. And if you read the Declaration of Independence, it's a list of grievances, a list of things and attempts, things that had been done to them by They were being abused by their tyrant king, and they tried to find any other solution, and when forced when none of those other remedies worked, they were forced to say, we're no longer part of your kingdom and

we will fight to the death to separate. And you know, you just wonder how much of this can go on within our government before it's justifiable to say you must be held accountable. This cannot be allowed to happen, right, And so it's a very precarious situation because of where it can lead what

we do not want a system to be. But also if someone is willing to throw those principles out and abuse power and act like a tyrant, not having any concern for truth, only about politics and power and manipulating the American people, should they not, my friends be held accountable? Timeouts in order my friends you're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, Todd Huff Back in just a minute. Come back, my friends.

By the way, there's this conversation here reminds me of a conversation I had. We're gonna be We're gonna be on a show called Life Today with Randy Robeson. We're going to that He and I had a conversation thirty minutes or so. It's gonna air on I believe Friday, and we'll share that stuff with you. You might not see it from us until the beginning of next week, but that that conversation just came to mind as I was talking about

some things. And by the way, the reason we're doing we're gonna start doing more these these interviews and so forth is because as we're growing here and we've joined I can tell you now we've joined a radio network called Audio One. We've joined in that radio network called Audio One, and we're expanding into to some new markets. I'm very, very excited look forward to working with

Chip Miller and his team over there. But there's some changes for us, and there's a lot of changes which means, you know, we'll be able to have these opportunities to do more of these sorts of things interviews speaking, we've got the column now, which, by the way, the column went out yesterday. You can sign up for free for that column at todtufshow dot com. But one of the other reasons that we're able to do that is because of a group called Sales Arbiter. Sales Arbiter, that's my dear friend

Crispin there at Sales Arbiter. He is working to build our sales team, which is a big part of running a business like this is creating a team to bring in advertising sales so that you can move on to you know, more comen and that sort of thing. This is the sort of stuff that I did a lot of myself in the early days and even not too long

long ago into the past. But Crispin has helped build our team. And again his company is Sales Arbiter. If you are a business owner, if you are someone who has some influence within the company that you work with, if you're looking to improve your sales team, grow your sales team, look for someone that's a good coach and teacher, someone who has a great system. I encourage you to check out Crispin and his team at Sales Arbiter. Seals arbiter dot com is the website s A L E. S Arbiter is

a arb I t R Sales arbitter dot com. But as I was thinking about this interview with Randy Robison, when we were discussing some things, he posed a question to me near the end of the interview and he said something about voting for Trump because of vengeance. And that's that's not how I view this. And to go back to what we were talking about last segment, you know, we I don't believe I would say to you. I'm I

told I was during the break. I'm one hundred percent against the concept of voting against something just because of vengeance to get back to get even I just I don't, Well, it's not a biblical concept. Vengeance is mind declares the Lord. We should It doesn't mean that we don't hold people accountable. It doesn't mean that we're not seeking justice. We should do those things right. I mean, do justice, love mercy while humbly with our God.

That's a biblical verse as well, and so it's the motivation and we shouldn't be just trying to get back at people, because that that pendulum is gonna swing back and forth as people assume positions of power, and it's gonna swing further and further. It's gonna swing. You know, one side is gonna get x amount of vengeance, and then when the other side gains authority, they're gonna gain They're gonna seek two x type of vengeance, and it's gonna

keep swinging wildly and wildly out of control. It can't be allowed to happen. We can't build a society on that. But but if we are seeking justice and we are trying to save this system, we cannot have people. We cannot have people in positions of power who are wielding that power against not just presidential candidates, but against individual American citizens. Our founders would be appalled at this behavior, absolutely appalled. And so it's not about vengeance, it's

about justice. It's not about getting even, it's about doing right. And I think that's an important thing to articulate and to say pause, because it's not just about getting even, it's about again, context is king. We have to be able to make the case as to why someone should potentially or should not potentially seek to take action against people who were on the other side

of the political aisle. You should never do that because they disagree or even have boisterous, even very intense speech against your ideas, our policies, that sort of stuff that should be allowed. We gotta put on our big boy and big girl pants for that. That's part of it. Getting behind this microphone every day, I've got to do that. I gotta put on my big boy pants. Riches, I'd say. I think I said on my

birthday. My dad's nickname as a young man was Briches. Gotta put on our big boy britches, right, And so this is part of it. But is Trump wrong here for saying if he's reelected, he's going to go back after these people that have abused the system. Is that not? Is that the same thing that's being done to him and we're just getting even or is it different? I would maintain that it is different. I think you have to be incredibly careful on how you do this. But you cannot have

people. You cannot have people who say when you're For example, I was also asked yesterday in this interview about you know Trump and and you know, voting for him, and you know basically the standard that Trump has to has

to live up to his perfection. I told Oz this, you know, aren't we can't be expected Conservatives cannot be expected to say, your candidate has to be basically Jesus in the flesh, and then their candidate can be a guy that can sell himself and his family, you know, to get paid, I should say, in return for potentially political favor and so forth. How is that? How is that a possible thing? If you read Ashley Biden's journal, or at least parts of the pages, I mean, should

we allow that stuff to go in there? Why? Why is Trump for comments that he made to Access Hollywood or whoever, which is terrible. At the time, I came out and I said, that's not acceptable to me, the comments that he gave to was it Billy Bush or whatever the recording. That doesn't mean because I vote for him as president, I'm endorsing that. It doesn't You know, he's been married a few times, right, A couple of couple of times he's been he's been married. It doesn't mean

that you condone that. I mean, these are things that are in someone's past. But why does Trump have to live up to the example perfectly? If Jesus himself and the Left doesn't have to be anywhere within a country mile of that. Now we're not allowed to ask about it, We're not allowed to dig up on it, We're not allowed to poke around and say,

hey, what about this and that. I mean, look at the mess that has just what we've seen in the past six eight months now since Republicans have assumed power here in Congress, the amount of corruption and just depravity that have come from things like the Hunter Biden investigation, which is not just about Hunter, it goes into the dealings that he had with his father, the big guy, the amounts of money that changed hands. Are we just supposed

to turn a blind eye to that? And by the way, which candidate is out there supporting a worldview, supporting policies that are antithetical to goodness and truth and wholesome living. Who's out there peddling the life's the lie that if you're biologically a man, you can become a female. Who's peddling that nonsense. Who's out there peddling the lies that being pro choice simply means a woman is doing what she wants with her body, yet denying the reality that she

is killing an unborn child. Why are I mean these things have incredible consequence. Incredible consequence. I think sometimes we allow the media, the radical left to use our convictions against us, right, I do think that it doesn't mean that we shouldn't live up to those standards, but we also shouldn't say one party's candidate can do whatever they want, as much as they want with no consequence, and our candidate has to be as clean and pure as the

wind driven. So right, there's actually versus I feel like we have a spec and our eye. They have a two by four, right, and it's it's just we're supposed to ignore. We're supposed to ignore some of these these things, and it just it doesn't make sense. I know that the parable is, you know, the two by four out of your eye before

you worry about the spec and dust and the others. But what happens if the spec of dust is on our side and the two by four is on the other side, which just seems to be what they want us to You know, we have to have context and perspective. That's really what I'm getting at long in this segment, to my friends, sit tight back here in just a minute. Welcome back my friends. You know I'm gonna and this is a note to the good bad guy too. What we're gonna do here

is I'm thinking about this in real time. But this interview with since I've referenced it here a couple of times on the Show Today with Randy Robison of Life Today, we're going to send that out to those who are on our email who's signed up to receive the column by email, we'll just send that out. It'll probably be Tuesday because the good bad guys out until well well yeah tomorrow and Monday, so it'll probably be Tuesday. I'm out Monday too,

Labor Day. So but if you sign up for the news well I used to call the newsletter the column, we'll make sure that you that you get that interview, which I had a lot of fun. I love doing these things. By the way, I'm sorry about that anyway, hit the wrong button. So timeout is in order. But if you sign up for the website for the column at todtufshow dot com, we'll get both the column and this access to this interview. But a quick time out my friends back

in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Unfortunately, it's all the time that we have to day. But as I said last segment, if you sign up four hour column by email, totally free to do that. Go to Toddhufshow dot com. You'll get the column which goes out on Those go out on Wednesday.
