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, Todd Huff. All right, my friends, So the Department of Homeland Security Secretary my Orcus has been impeached. We'll talk about that today. Impeached by one one vote
in the Republican led House. We got this piece of legislation that has been passed by the Senate pertaining to well, it's basically everything that was in the Border security bill except the small tiny sliver of border security that we are now completely ignoring, and that's being, you know, pushed through the Senate. It's been pushed through the Senate, and now it's going to be well, we're going to see if Speaker Johnson can stop this from going through the House
or not. Some things about that bill that I want to get to in today's program, and lots of other things in the stack of stuff, my friends, If you want to see what's there, you can always read by visiting toddefshow dot com and just go to the stack of stuff page and you can see some of the things that we're talking about. Actually should be all the things that we're talking about here. I might miss something from time to time, but that's that's the way that it goes. But I want to
start here and talk about this impeachment. I want to start with this impeachment discussion. Secretary of my orcis As has been impeached by the House of Representatives, and what that basically means is that he's effectively effectively, it's akin to a political indictment of sorts. So now he will go on to be tried in the Senate after having, of course, you know, the presentation of evidence, and then these one hundred senators will decide whether or not he is
actually removed or what's going to happen here. I think we all know how this is going to end in the Democrat Senate, Democrat controlled Senate. But nonetheless it's something that we should take seriously and pay attention to because ultimately, what do we have here. We have a situation. We have a situation where the border my friends that they've been playing games with this for a long time, and there's a lot of blame to be assigned when talking about the
border. We've gone through this pretty pretty extensively. We've written about it in columns, we've talked about it on this program. But the truth is,
there's a lot of blame to go around. There has been there has been a lack of willingness from Republicans who campaign on border security, border, you know, the sovereignty of our border, protecting that border and making sure that people come through the legal channels, not just walk across our border and waltz into this country not knowing who they are, what threats they might pose. And again, a lot of these are folks that just want a better life.
And I fully recognize and understand that the problem. The problem is that the more that we develop a nanny state, a bureaucratic state, a welfare state, the more we the folks who pay taxes in this country, are going to have to pay for this. And we absolutely, my friends, absolutely, if you are being told to pay for something, you absolutely should be able to have a voice in saying now, wait a minute, this is not what I'm signing up for here, This is not something that is
reasonable, This is not something that is affordable. What are we doing here? Even we refuse to stop You know, the problem has gotten big enough on its own, we refuse to stop it from getting worse again. It's like a sinking ship. It's like a sinking ship. And as the ship is taking on water, the first thing that you should try to do is to stop the water, get the water that's in the boat out of the boat, and stop the leak from further making things difficult for the people inside
of the boat. And we're refusing to do that. We're having discussions and debates amount things about what type of boat we want to buy next, or where we want to sail next, or whatever else, and the boat is taking on water. The system is not set up to have both open borders and a welfare state and an economy that's been destroyed by these leftists. Inflationary economy, bureaucratic, expensive, out of control, bloated budget economy. We
can't have this. We can't have this scenario without it impacting people in real and dramatic ways. It's also not, as I've said on here before, it's also not charitable to give someone else's money away. In fact, you can't give another person's money away. You have to first take their money and then give it away. And by the fact that you took it, like Robinhood I guess, for the purposes of giving it away, shows that the act of taking, the act of force nullifies any good intentions that you have
with the money. It's not yours to begin with. There's so many fundamental problems here. And you know, as an individual, you have the right to look if you want to, and say, hey, I think someone should be giving a higher percentage of their income if they're making this much money. You can have that opinion. And by the way, the people who
have the money can ignore you. But in this scenario, the people who are putting the bill can't ignore anyone because they are being forced by these folks in government to pay for their willingness to solve problems, even admit that there is a Well, we've seen how hard it was to get them to the point to even admit this. Right. They denied this for so long. There's a problem along the southern border. It is so unavoidable. Now they can no longer hide about. Well, so many things they can't hide.
As we talked about yesterday, Biden's Biden's mental acuity, Biden's mental fitness for office. They can't hide the fact that there's a massive problem along the southern border and that they are at fault. But there's different levels of fault. I've talked about this, and I want to say it again. Republicans have responsibility insofar as they never really did anything, took any serious steps to solve
the problem of illegal immigration. They will campaign on it, they will fundraise on it, they will go and get re elected based upon it, and then when they get the power to actually do something, they sit on their backsides. They don't do anything because candidly, and I think this is sad and sickening, because these are human beings. They look at these human beings a lot of well, there's a group of people within the Republican Party that
does. They look at these folks as simply inexpensive labor. These are human beings. These are human beings, These are people. They're not just labor in some number. These are people that I understand why they want to come here. It does not mean that we should ignore or change or whatever our laws, but it does mean I understand as a as a human being, I understand and as I've also said on here quite many, quite a few times, I also understand why someone wants to come here, because I think
this is a great place. I think America is a wonderful place. I understand why people would want to come to this place that I still view as a city on a hill in spite of the fact that we've got leaders who are doing everything in their power to undermine and stop that to change this nation fundamentally. They still haven't pulled it off completely. They have caused massive damage, they have created problems, they have undermined this nation as founded, but
they haven't completely stopped what this nation was built to be. And so I see the goodness in that, in what this nation was built to be,
And I understand why people would want to come here. But the people on the left who want to change this place, who have nothing but bad things to say about this place, America being fundamentally whatever, racist, transphobic, sexist, whatever, homophobic, you know the routine, all these bad things they say about the United States, the way they talk about this place, I have no idea why anybody would want to come to the country that they
that they are maligning on a regular basis, if it's anything remotely close to how these folks talk about it and think about it, then no one would want to come here. Immigration patterns would be moving from North America southward, from the United States southward, or maybe into that utopia of Canada to the north. But that's not what's happening, right, That's not what's happening, And so there's a lot of responsibility here. Republicans haven't done their job.
But then Democrats of course look at this as well. They look at this as votes, They look at this as a way to use their obsession with identity, politics and everything else that pertains to the superficiality the differences of people that are just skin deep, not the fact that we are all created in
the image of God. Not the fact that we are all created with the desire to live and to be free, and to live in accordance with their own conscience, and to worship or not worship as we choose, To be able to defend ourselves from a common petty thief to a tyrannical government, to be able to say what we think, to be able to protest against our government for a redress of grievances, all these things right, and that's how we are created to live, and that is what is a consistent thing about
humanity, regardless of our of our race, regardless of our gender, regardless of all these things that they use to divide us. And of course, of course they want to ultimately, they want to find a way to stay in political power, and they want to find a way to fundamentally change this
country. And the more that they can find supporters through whatever means they can concoct that we don't, that we decide not to stop whatever that may include, which include a whole bunch of different things, from open borders, to lack of election integrity, to manipulating people using the seven pillars of propaganda to lie and to cheat and deceive and to pit people against one another. That's
the mission that these radical leftists are on. And while all that is true, While all that is true, there's a fundamental, core, fundamental truth here that's also accurate that needs to be said. And it's also precisely why the House did the right thing. They did the right thing in impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcus and that is because he and the administration are not doing their job. So while they're the larger issue of illegal immigration as
a whole, there's a lot of people to blame. Nothing was done about the border and borders security until Trump came along, and Trump took a lot of Republicans kicking and screaming. A lot of Republicans didn't want this. They're cool to campaign on it, they'll they'll be happy to go out there and fundraise on it, but to actually do the work necessary to follow through on
these campaign promises, they have no interest in that. In fact, we've got to send it full of people that would be in this particular category. These are people that don't well, they don't respect you. They don't when I say fear you. I don't want them shaking in their boots. But they don't have a healthy fear of being held accountable for how out of touch they are with reality and common sense. And so there's plenty of blame to
be to be laid out there. But it is obviously clear for the immediate, most basic part of securing our border, it was made demonstrably worse. The security of our border has been made demonstrably worse by this administration, and in particular, I mean, it ultimately goes to Joe Biden, but in particular, I mean you've seen some of these testimonies that Alejandro Myorcis has given before Congress. I mean he's they're literally not doing anything that should be done.
If if there are two options, and one can secure the border, even marginally, if it can make it just a little bit better, and the other option either keeps it the same or makes it worse. Every single time, every single time, without fail, they choose the one that keeps
it status quo or potentially makes it worse. We've gone through the sixty four I think it was examples that Speaker Mike Johnson and his team that they have shared regarding the Biden administration and the action that they took while in office starting on January twentieth of twenty twenty one, how they have literally made decisions that made things demonstrably and measurably worse than they were when Trump was President of the
United States. So, while it is true that there are a lot of people to blame the if you get down to simply securing the border, and back to our analogy from a few minutes ago, stopping the water from coming in, right stopping the leak on the metaphorical ship. Here, you do two things. You plug the hole and you bail the water, right, and then you can talk about what you do after that. But the immediate issue of making sure that that happens, this administration has fundamentally, without question,
done nothing but wreak havoc on that particular part of this scenario. In fact, instead of plugging the hole, they took an axe and hammers that they probably use to smash Hillary's cell phones, remember that back in twenty sixteen, after they bleach bit them and after they told us she was doing nothing wrong. That's how she thought. You turned in your phone at the end
of your contract. But they take pick axes and probably some C four and some sticks of dynamite and blow the hole up and make it even worse. And they just they don't do anything to stop it. They don't have to make it worse. They are deliberately choosing to make it worse. I know that that sounds hard to believe, and there was a time in my life when I was resistant to believing that too, because I thought, you just
cannot believe you can't do that. I just have a hard time thinking if you're from this country, if you've been given the opportunity to lead it and to make decisions for this country, that you're not going to be so callous and just acting in the complete and athetical way to the best interests of this nation. But that is in fact what we've got. They don't respect you,
the voter, the taxpayer, they don't fear being held accountable. They've gotten away with this stuff for so long that they are absolutely correct in impeaching my orchest because he is not enforcing laws that are designed to prevent these things from happening, and he is deliberately dismantling a system of law and order, creating pandemonium and chaos that is impacting people across this great nation. And I've got to take a break a little bit more on this on the other side
of the break, their timeout is in order. You're listening to here, my friendsic Conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one the only tie toff back here in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. I want to tell you that I feel okay. I just still this is around two apparently of whatever's going to attack my vocals and so forth here today, So I do apologize if it's a little bit it sounds a little
bit less normal than usual. So my Orcus when he took office, Secretary Alejandro Maorcis, when he took office, there was he answered some questions, right, because we got to go back in time. We got to go back to you know, Trump and his team. They leave office, they had instituted policies, policies and executive action that actually were designed to fulfill the intent of Congress to actually enforce our border, to make it secure, to
not make it porous, and so forth. The administration immediately began to undo these things. And of course, I mean, look this, it's it's interesting, right, and I've talked about this, and we might write about this. But anytime there's an executive action taken by the administration, right the executive branch of our government, the purpose of that executive action should be should
be designed to fulfill the letter of the law passed by Congress. And so it's certainly the prerogative of the administration, whether that's the new administration, the Biden administration, or the previous administration with the Trump administration to use discretion in fulfilling or executing the law they don't have the right to simply not do anything about it or to change it, to undermine It's that's the problem. And
so they can certainly have their own executive actions. And of course, on the one hand, that sounds perfectly fine and normal, and that's the way that it should be an administration. That elections have consequences, and an administration should be able to come in and make changes. But they can't change something
to where the law has ceased to be followed. So if the law is to secure the border, the administration could certainly change things that were being done to enforce it and try new things, change them, so long as the underlying intent of following the enforcing the law doesn't change. But see that's not what happens. And so there's a SoundBite here. This is my orca. This goes back. It was retweeted a couple of days ago by Libby Emmons
of the Post Millennial. But this, this post, this, this conversation, these comments that my orcas is making. These were back, I believe, in March and March twenty first of twenty twenty one. So the administration had only been in office for what six weeks roughly at this point. And remember remember remember the context here is that you know, new administration comes in.
The border was in much better shape at this particular time, just like the economy was at this particular time, because they hadn't had a chance yet to put their fingerprints on it and undermine what had happened. The things that we're working in a positive since now we were we were coming through the COVID situation. Now that was a difference in animal altogether. That that was a situation where the economy was in turmoil because of a government's response to well to
the coronavirus, to COVID nineteen. And that's a whole nother Obviously, that's multiple shows that we could talk about that, but we're not going to do that today. I want to stay here specifically on the border. But if you listen to what my work is is talking about, he's talking about changing things, taking action as part of the new administration to implement border security changes. And so now he's acting as though and Biden as well, they're acting
as though they can't do anything. They can't do anything about border security. Unlus Congress passes a law. There was no law passed in twenty twenty one, when the administration took these actions, when the administration was giving this advice to people that were coming to the United States, they did this on their own. If they did this on their own, they can undo this on their own. If they undid Trump's policies executive actions on the border, they
can redo those. And of course it would stand to reason that if the changes they made led to negative impact along the southern border, if they simply undo the changes they made and go back to what Trump had done and his administration had put into place, it stands to reason that the situation along the border would seem to eventually, over time reflect what was on what the conditions and so forth were when Trump were was in office. But here's my work
is. I want you to listen to this because remember today, the whole argument is we can't do anything. This is up to Congress to fix. But listen to all the things that they're saying here, all the advice, all the changes, all of the action that again coming out of the Trump administration. There was no new law about the border here. They were doing all of this on their own. I just want you to listen to this.
This is important in but a few years. We already have designed an innovative program to bring people in through the ports of entry of those here that most acutely in need by reason of the fact that they have been remaining in Mexico for so long. And that's a swipe at Trump's remain in Mexico policy. So they're already they've already changed some things for people to be able to come in so that the people that have been in Mexico for too long,
so that was a change, or told that they can't do anything. They can't take any action to stop what's happening at the border because they need a new law. There was no law that allowed them to make these changes. But then these changes made things demonstrably worse, he continues, already begun to
en implemented. We are progressing every single day. I don't have a particular timeline, but all I can do is communicate both to the American public and to the individual seeking protection that we are working around the clock, seven days a week to make that timeframe as short as possible. But they need to wait. But they need to wait with a particular goal in mind. We
are not saying don't come. We are saying, don't come now of this, because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible. It sure doesn't sound like it. This was three years ago. By the way, they'll be able to give them a safe and orderly process as quickly as possible. They have given us pure pandemonium along the border. They took these actions along with many others. This is just him defending well anime. Anytime you hear them say, can't do anything,
not that I can do about it. What am I supposed to do? Congress has to act. Anytime you hear them say that, just remember these words. These are all things that they did. They turned everything Trump did on his head. They took a total of sixty four that we have sixty four or sixty five actions as this administration. They took executive actions to make changes along how we handled illegal immigration, border security. They undid the things
that were working. They implemented their ridiculous concepts ideas, and we have pure pandemonium as a result. So they are right to impeach my orcis, and they would be right too to impeach Biden here. Of course, that's another topic altogether. We've had Tony Bobolenski who just gave a testimony in Congress.
We'll talk about that on the other side of the break too, but that's pertaining to the alleged pay to play sort of scandal here that the well President Bribery, Vice President Bribery at the time was allegedly engaged in during his time as vice president. But anyway, total total mess, total total corruption, total and absolute disregard for law and order, for truth, for doing the right thing. That's what we're seeing on full display each and every day in
this administration. Quick time out my friends back in just a minute with my friends. All of this talk about Secretary of my orc is being in peace reminded me of just the need to make sure we just stay on top of the developments in regards to Biden's potential impeachment in the House of Representatives. And we'll do that here in just a minute. But before we do that, let me tell you a little bit about our friends at Harvard Gold Group.
Folks, did you know that since nineteen seventy one, Gold has outpoormed outperformed the S and P five hundred and the dow That, of course was the year that the US took the dollar off of what was known as the gold standard, And we have to ask ourselves, is that a coincidence? When the US allowed US government, specifically, when they allowed and yes that's the word, people to own gold again, they reclassified gold as a commodity rather
than a paper currency backstop. Even though the US itself holds and holds the highest amounts of physical gold in its own reserves, all countries, all central banks, all major institutions, and even the IMF itself owned substantial gold holdings. If all of these entities that control our fiat paper money system, if they have physical gold, doesn't it make sense to consider having some yourself. Well, you're in luck, my friends. You can talk to the experts
at Harvard Gold Group about this. Their website is Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. You can use my name Todd and get a two hundred fifty dollars credit if you decide to do business with the folks at Harvard Goldgroup. But Harvardgoldgroup dot com is the website. Promo code Todd will get you a two one hundred and fifty dollars credit. So just a little bit of an update before we move on. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this headline.
Here Joe Biden quote enabled families, shady overseas business dealings, Hunter Biden former business associate to the House, So Tony Bobolinsky, which if you've followed the laptop scandal, or if you've read Miranda Divine's book Laptop from Hell, you will know the name Tony Bobolinski. And he testified testified on Tuesday hind
Closed Doors and this Biden impeachment inquiry. In his opening statement, he said that he was happy for Americans to finally hear the facts and the evidence that he has been trying to outline for over four years, all backed up and supported by emails, texts, documents, records, pictures, and other evidence, adding that these facts are quote important to excuse me for America's national security.
So he said this in his testimony. I want to be crystal clear from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me again Tony boble Lin's that Joe Biden was quote the brand being sold by the Biden family, and he continued to say his family's foreign influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere, sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States
government. So that gives you the flavor of the of the testimony. Again, this is in the stack of stuff if you want to check it out yourself. But that's just a little bit of an update. I know that there's so many things going on. We've got Trump's trials, We've got the primary process in general, We've got Super Tuesday not too far away South Carolina, of course, we got a lot of things that are relevant here now.
We've got Secretary of Majorcis who's been impeached. We've got this piece of legislation, which I want to talk about next because there's some troubling things in this legislation. Senate passes passes a bill designed to to well give all these other countries money while not doing anything for our border, which again which again I mean, folks, the power to act on our border lays primarily at
this particular point. As I've laid out previously, this program and else other times throughout the last several weeks and months, this lies solely with the Biden administration. It's actually precisely why Alejandro Mayorcis is being impeached, because he's not doing the things that are right there that the wall basically expects and requires for
him to secure that border. He's playing games, he's pretending like he can't do anything, when in reality he and this administration have un undone so much of what Trump did to secure that border in the first place. So, but I want to shift gears and talk a little bit about this Ukraine funding, Israel funding, all these other folks that are getting funding here besides besides
the southern border. So we'll talk about that on the other side of the break, because I think there's some things in this that matter to us as well. Lots of cover here, I know, se tight my friends back in just a minute, and welcome back, my friends. So let's look here. Let's look here at this bill that has been passed by the US Senate. Let's take a look at this. Let's talk about what well,
let's see what is potentially on the horizon from this. So immediately, immediately, we have to recognize that the Senate in a what's seventy to twenty nine vote past this piece of legislation that we're gonna in general refer to the Ukraine Funding Bill, which honestly is what the is what the original version of this bill. If you go back in time a couple of weeks when they were trying to tell us it was a border security bill, it was still primarily
a Ukraine funding bill. The total value of the bill I'm going for memory here, not the one that just passed. The one that just passed, is something like the past the Senate is something like ninety five billion dollars something like that. I'd have to look close to that. The original bill was one hundred and eighteen billion, and they called it a border security bill, but as we as we pointed out on here, only one what was it,
one sixth of the total budget was designated for actual border security. Everything else was going basically outside the country. So one of those line items, if you will, was a Ukraine funding line item. And so I believe the Ukraine funding line item was I think it was half of the original bill. Now I don't know exactly what it is here. I'm guessing it's around that vicinity, still sixty billion. I'm guessing I'd have to look, but
that's this This again is the same, it's the same general bill. They just took the the part about the border security out. So but this is not that there's problems with this bill number one, number one. It there is the issue of, of course, adding to deficit spending for things that at least we can argue about how much these are of that these are interests
in America's best interest to especially the fund. You know, America can have an interest, but then say it's not something we should be funding America and have an interest on the world stage, and say we should give a little funding, a little direction, a little something. It's not good if this is the case. You know, if Russia starts to become the Soviet Union and begins to expand, triggering heaven only knows, world War three, if
they attack a NATO country. So obviously there's concern that there are interests there that matter to the United States. But does that mean that we fund them, and does that mean that we fund them without really a whole lot of debate. You're not even allowed to ask about this stuff, all right, Oz, will tell me send me on a regular basis. Just here's another a couple of billion for Ukraine. Here and there. I mean, it's it's everywhere. It's a ton of money. And again by raising the question,
it doesn't mean that you're against Ukraine or anything like that. It can mean that, but it doesn't necessarily mean it. We just are these the things that are the most pressing needs for our government, especially when we have an open border, especially when we have reports of terrorists coming in this nation across that border. So that's the first thing. The second thing is the second thing is there is a report from Senator jd Vance, Republican from Ohio.
He sent on a memo and this is interesting. He wrote this in a mimo and this is at pjmedia dot com. Back in twenty nineteen, Democrats articulated a novel theory of impeachment based on Trump's refusal to spend money from the USAI Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Five years after impeaching Trump for refusing to spend money on Ukraine, they have drafted a new law that again requires Trump to spend money on Ukraine if he negotiates an end to the war. Now,
this is the part that's important to understand. And I'm rushing because I'm up against the break as he promised to do. They will undoubtedly argue that he has broken the law. This new law that has passed the Senate now that's trying to get through the House. We are nearly a year away from an election that could give Trump the presidency, and Ukraine obsessed Republicans have already given the Democrats a predicate to impeach him. So he's calling this an impeachment
time bomb against Trump. I don't put anything past these jokers. In clown. Another source in our stack of stuff frames this as making it illegal to end the war in Ukraine because there's a requirement to spend this money anyway. Got to go along in this segment quick time, not back in a minute, welcome back. Not a lot of time here, but I want to
get this in quickly. Mike. Speaker Mike Johnson says that he is going to prevent this bill from coming up in the on the House floor, and there are or there's question as to whether or not he's going to be able to pull this off because because there are, there's a measure that's a little complicated to use that we obviously don't have time to go into. But that would allow the House, which would include Democrats and some Republicans to get something
to the floor without his blessing. We will see how this shakes out. But I've got to go. My friends, have a great day. SDG.
