Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff 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. All right, my friends, we are coming to you from the great state of Florida, as we are still on our truth tour traveling. And I
saw a story over the week, and they got me to thinking. I saw that there's some squatters who have effectively, from what I can tell, allegedly just took over someone's residence. And I probably should review this with Oz. But if we get tired of camping line, I suppose that's always an option here in the wonderful land of ridiculous laws here in the United States of
America, squatting laws of course being some of those. And of course, my just the mess it creates for the owner of the property, the stupidity that we have in some instances on some of these things that happened in this wonderful land of ours. Greetings, my friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Email tot Tota show dot com. Should you want to be part of today's conversation, you can also text us or leave a message as well in the HUF hot line that number three one seven two one zero twenty
eight thirty three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. So there's a couple of things that I want to talk about today. Of course it's usually the case on a Monday. Lots of things to go through, lots of things to catch up on, things that happened well late in the evening on Friday, which include a Supreme Court ruling regarding the some abortion over the counter medication which which was all over the place Friday evening. I saw breaking news
and all sorts of things. But really where I want to start today. I want to start with what has been going on in Afghanistan. This is an article from hotair dot com written by David Strom Shock revelation Afghanistan is back as terrorist central. So this was published over the weekend yesterday. In fact and effectively, he's referencing or signing an article in the Washington Post. Washington Post twittered out exclusive Afghanistan has become a terrorist some staging ground again leak of
US sensitive US documents reveals. So we've got the whole leak side of the situation. I don't want to specifically talk about too much, but keep in mind it is worth noting. It is worth noting that the reason we know this information is because of leaked documents, which, of course you know. Obviously there are laws that prevent that sort of thing, leaks and inappropriate things from well, things that people are not authorized to share with the American public.
There's reasons for that, and we should have those those laws. But there's also something to be said when our government keeps us in the dark on a lot of things, and they've done that for quite some times, quite some time. That's why Trump referred to Washington, DC as the swamp.
That's why phrases like drain the swamp deep State gets so much traction with many people in the American electorate because we've been subjected, we've been subjected to professional deceivers, both in the media, of course, but also in politics and of course in the Deep States. Sometimes folks, sometimes even elected officials,
are not privy to the information. Sometimes these individuals, these cast of characters, these folks that want to keep secrets from the American people, from elected representatives are not forthcoming and truthful with the oversight committees and so forth in our
government. And so it's a big convoluted ness. But what we do know, if we can go backwards in history now almost getting close to two years, Biden withdrew our troops haphazard from Afghanistan so that he could take credit for being the president to finally end America's longest war, that being the war with Afghanistan. And so they put as they usually usually do, they put headlines over potential casualties. They put headlines and narratives and talking points over families,
over allies, over American interests. And we have a total debacle in Afghanistan. In fact, you know, the Taliban is effectively taken back control and now as reported by the Washington Post and as being discussed here in this article written by David Strom, Afghanistan is once again terrorist central. And you know, I know that we have a lot of we have a lot of veterans that listen to this program. I've shared on here before. I think i've
shared this on here. I've done this whatnot for seven and a half years, going on eight so I'm sure I mentioned this from time to time. I did not, I did not serve. I tried. I did try. And by try, what do I mean? Well, I I was actually going through the process at the United States Naval Academy and West Point. Even after this, I tried United States Marine Corps OCS program, all three of which rejected me for sleepwalking. And this was in nineteen ninety seven.
And I really, I mean that really was hard on me at the time because it's something that I had a very major interest in doing. And truth be told, I was most interested in the United States Naval Academy. In fact, I spent the night there at Annapolis. Fantastic place if you ever get the chance to go there, truly remarkable, just facilities that had just wonderful place. West Point. I did not go to West Point to stay.
And back in the days when I was getting recruited for football, It's funny, I was a little, really little guy back in those days, and I remember they were taking me on the tour a group of us, a couple of us, and they said, what are some extracurricular activities you want to do? And I said, well, I want to play football and they said, all, great, We've got a great one hundred and fifty pound and under team. And I said, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want to play. I don't want to
play with that. I want to play with the big boys. And so but I couldn't. I couldn't go. I was medically disqualified. And truth be told, I mean that there are times and have been times that watching what transpired from that date, which again was in nineteen ninety seven, watching people that I know, including my brother in law who served and served overseas in Afghanistan, and other people that I knew and went to school with and
so forth. Um, and just even from some of you that I've heard from that I've met through this program, and I've I've watched and and learned and just looked at the sacrifice, looked at the oh gee, just sacrifices. The word that comes to the top of the list for me, individuals that put themselves in harm's way to fight the war on terrorism. And I know, of course there's questions about whether we should have been here there.
I don't want to get into that at the moment. I'm simply saying for the people, for the men that I knew who enlisted and you know, went through ROTC, whatever path they took to get to the military and to be involved in defending this great nation and to be involved and hunting down these terrorists. Whatever role an individual played, and that role can be played in
a lot of places and on a lot of fronts in today's world. And whatever again, whatever the specific responsibilities were to be involved in that, and to you know, go back in history, back to September, say, September twelfth, the day after nine to eleven, two thousand and one, and just watching and feeling this country come together, left and right, liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat, Christian, atheist, whatever, all these
different groups of people coming together and putting flag the stickers on the sides of their vehicles. Either the American flag was everywhere back in those days. And to watch people paying more respect and honor to veterans and to watching Americans, I'd be kinder to one another. Church attendants jumped up, people reprioritized. They realized how in many respects fragile life is. When they heard the stories of what happened on nine to eleven, and they just envisioned in their minds
and in their imagination. People that went to work for the day on that Tuesday morning to never come back home. And there's horrific, just gut wrenching messages that exist out there today. People that left voicemails who were trapped in trade towers, or people who were stuck on aircraft that they knew they were not coming home, Just sad, sad things. Heroic action that day, heroic action on aircraft, heroic action on the ground in the twin towers.
In fact, I met, as we've been down here in Florida, I met an individual who was who told me he was in the buildings on nine to eleven. He was law enforcement and he was there at ground zero on nine to eleven. And a lot of people, of course, lost their lives, lost family members, and we remember that, those of us that went through that, we remember that. We remember people like Pat Tillman. For those of you that were fans of the NFL before the NFL got to
woke, Pat Tillman was a safety for the Saint Louis Cardinals. No so was it Saint Louis. I don't remember where they were in two thousand and two thousand and one. Maybe they were already in Arizona. I can't keep up. Yeah, they would have been, because that's the Rams were in Saint Louis then. But for the Arizona or maybe even the Phoenix Cardinals back in those days, Pat Tillman quit his football career, enlisted, became an army ranger. We know of story. We know many of you know people
like that. Some of you may have been one of those individuals who after nine to eleven said, I am not going to sit around and do anything, you know, sitting on my backside. This is a real legitimate threat. These folks have launched a war against us, and we're going to take it to them. We are going to smoke them out of their caves, and we are going to annihilate the people who planned this so that this never
ever happens again. We remember this. We remember this for those of you who weren't alive or who were too young too necessarily remember that that's what happened, and this country came together. In fact, George W. Bush's approval ratings in the months after nine to eleven was in the ninth go and look, I think it was ninety percent. I know it hit at least ninety, it might have been in the low nineties. And why was that?
Because of that sense of camaraderie, because of that sense of just patriotism, pride, grief, anger. We had songs like Toby Keith's The Angry American, which of course even left us back then. We're offended by offended, because it just blows my mind as I go back through the memory vault on these sorts of things. But people were I'm angry at him for him saying in a song, We're gonna come get you. Don't don't rattle this big
dog's cage unless you want what's about to come back at you. And so we went all those emotions right, people singing the national and I remember I remember being at an event, being at a high school basketball game, pausy, I think high school basketball game. It was actually a tiny little town that's west of where I grew up, actually where I lived today when when we're back home, called Eminence, Indiana. It was a Monrovia Eminence basketball
game. And I can't remember if it was boys or girls, to be candid, but I remember I remember the individual singing the anthem forgot the words. Now I'm not saying this was two thousand and two, but this was in the years following nine to eleven, within a few couple of years. And that entire stadium, that entire gymnasium, I should say the Eel Tank as we would refer to that place. Great place for basketball, great just to need old place. But anyway, the whole crowd started singing the national
anthem. And you remember there's been other instances of this. Sometimes the singer didn't forget the lyrics to the national anthem, and crowd members, participants sang along with the individual singing the anthem. There was there was pride, not not a bad you know, sometimes we use that word wrong. It's a Christian one I supposed to you know. Pride is the one sense of the word is having a mindset that doesn't need God, that I'm the be all
in doll and so forth. I don't mean it in that sense. I just mean a sense of a sense of just loving your country and caring about that community and being able to look upon it and thinking, we have a good thing here. And I'm going to stand up and I'm going to do all I can to you know, pat, to communicate this, to to share this and people would share long people would sing God, bless America, America the beautiful. These were the sorts of songs that were being saying everywhere
back in those days. And I paint this picture to say, because all of this has come completely unraveled, all of it has come completely unraveled. I don't say that to the men and women who put on the uniform and
did their job. This is not you obviously did your job. This administration has undermined everything that boat you personally did, and that this country collectively did or wanted to see done as it pertained to reducing the threat of global terrorism or terrorism directed specifically at the United States of America, her citizens, and her interests. Those things have completely come unraveled by this administration. And we
left there nearly two years ago just because he wanted the administration wanted. Biden wanted headlines that said leading up to the twentieth that right, it would have been the twentieth anniversary, if you will, of nine to eleven twenty years later. He wanted the headlines. Biden is the first president in the war in Afghanistan. Biden ends the longest war ever, and of course ending wars
is a good thing. But you know what, well, winning them is the most important, or waging the ones we should wage and not waging the ones we shouldn't. That's of course part of this discussion too. But you want to win and you want to get out of it. You don't want these things going on forever. I get all of that, But you also do not want to leave arbitrarily because you have some sort of a desire for pr desire for a narrative that you think is somehow good to where you put
the lives of people currently over there. What was it fifteen thousand people were stuck over there at one point. I still don't know. There's still people stuck over there from what I can gather. Of course, the media doesn't want to talk about this. Media doesn't talk about this at all. They just said Biden into the war in Afghanistan? Who, well, how did
he end it? Look at all the equipment they had, Remember they just had a video here several weeks ago where they were kind of showing off all of the American equipment that they had in their possession because we left it there. And you think about all the people that helped us, all of the
Americans that are still there. And then, of course, all of the work that American military veterans did to defend this country, protect her interests, go after the perpetrators, those who are intent on doing evil killing, maiming, destroying Americans, destroying Americans that they did on nine to eleven. All
that hard work has been completely desecrated. That's what Biden and this administration has done, and they've unraveled what that work accomplished, and now to the point where Afghanistan is once again apparently ground zero for terrorist activities around the globe. Absolutely reprehensible. This is truly deplorable. But I've got to take your break, my friends. Sit tight, you're listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host, Toadhoff. Back in just a minute. Welcome back,
my friends. This again, I take no pleasure. I take no pleasure at talking about what we're talking about here today. I take no pleasure and telling you that the work that so many Americans, so many folks in the military have done to ensure that the region of the world that they were operating in was as much as possible free of organized terror networks. People who were
groups and governments who were friendly to the terrorists and so forth. They the military did everything within their power to clear that mess up, right, to get rid of that, to make it no longer a as big of a threat. I mean, I gotta trying to think of the best way to say it, because the threat is, folks, when you have a region of the world that has pockets of radical extremist Islamic teachings and beliefs, that
of course is at odds and completely antithetical to the American way. It is they are going to hate this country because the things that radical Islamists teach and preach are the opposite of what Western civilization is, of what a free nation is. And so of course there's always going to be you know, groups of people who who are saying and teaching some extreme things, and of course
some are even going to take that to the next the next level. But the amount of effort put forth in eradicating that network was I mean massively impressive, the work that was done there. And now what Now it's as though Afghanistan is in the same type of situation it was in, just at least the playing field, at least the ideology of those are who are in power
there. It was it's almost reverted back. It sounds from reports from the New York or, assuming me, the Washington Post and this article that I've been referencing here this morning, which of course will be on today's stack of stuff. But it's almost as though we went right back. We've reverted right back to the type of situation, the type of landscape, ideological landscape that
we had in a post nine to eleven world. That's what has happened here, and that is there's not even been any questions really about that this administration has not been held accountable. Kudos to House Republicans for pushing this. One of the many things they're pushing is to get answers on Afghanistan. And I hope, look, I know that a big motivator for a lot of people is to use these is to use these committees and so forth, these hearings
to weaponize politics and to set yourself up for a political victory. As to how you're shaping the narrative in Washington, DC. I hope that this is not what this is about. I hope this is really and truthfully about holding people accountable, namely Biden and the people making these decisions in the administration because this has created a massive, massive problem. Excuse me, this has created a massive problem by creating this this void, and of course who fills the
void? I mean it's I've set on this program for a long long time. American weakness is what's truly provocative. It's not a president who tweets things that our geopolitical adversaries and enemies might find offensive. That is so ridiculous to me. What is what is really provocative to them? If you want to if you want to see these folks who are our geopolitical enemies, if you want to see them make moves that are truly dangerous, not just saying they're
upset about a tweet or some comment. If you want to see what really sets them off or gives them the I guess, the ability or the courage maybe to take some of these dramatic steps. It's when America is perceived to be weak, and right now we are perceived to be weak. And this
is not This is not specifically targeted at today's service members. It's targeted to those who are wanting to use the American military to I don't know, get involved in social justice or the transgender movement or whatever is next climate change, instead of actually defending this great nation and protecting her interests domestically and around the
globe. But it is the people who are in positions of leadership who have abdicated their responsibility kick the can down the road, starting with one Joseph ar Biden. He's never been held accountable to this. The only thing that I really ever have heard him say about this is that Trump is the one to blame. Trump's fault. Trump's the one that set this in motion. What could he do? What could Biden do? Well? He could have stopped
it, He could have delayed if it wasn't ready. But my friends, the truth is all they cared about is I don't like saying these things, even for people that I politically disagree with. It is abundantly clear to me that all they care about is the narrative. All they care about is the headline. All they care about is how it politically benefits them. They put that above everything else. In fact, I wouldn't even say above it.
I would say just exclusively, that is what they think about is their political interests at the expense of the fifteen thousand people that were reportedly left behind at the beginning at the expense of the people that are there today, at the expense of watching the Taliban restage regroup in Afghanistan, making it a central point for global terrorism again again, as being reported by the Washington Posts, all that mattered at the time was the headline, Biden ends the war, and
it's just you think about what this nation gave up, What individuals most importantly
gave up. People who lost loved ones either on nine to eleven in the war on terror, people who of course gave their lives, people who lost someone who gave their life, people who came back with physical injuries, extreme injuries, extreme trauma, actual PTSD, not the type of PTSD that people flippantly say if they had a bad day today and this woke week America that we live in, actual PTSD, literal, just heartache and destruct and loss
all for all in exchange for Biden and the Left, whoever you want to blame. It's it's this weak ideology, my friends. It's the folks who embrace this crap and now we're right back to where where we started. It is a shame, It is a smack in the face of those who fought for this. It's a smack in the face to all Americans, but definitely first and foremost a smack in the face to those who sacrifice so much. So anyway, that is where we are today. I've got to take a
time out, my friends. Sit tight, you're listening to conservative not better talking. I'm your host, Tod Huff Back in just a minute. I'm
back, my friends. So, because we're talking about the military, and I was speaking really with a lot of focus earlier in the program with two veterans or in regard to their sacrifice and what they did in response to night and not just not just nine to eleven, but this of course, we're talking about the war on terror, specifically in Afghanistan and all that stuff.
Today I want to take a moment too, those of you again, if you've if you were involved in any way, shape, manner, or form in the military after nine eleven, before as well, but again we're talking about nine to eleven today, we're talking about what has happened in Afghanistan since, well, since Biden has taken office, which has been nothing short of disastrous. By the way, you have earned and you should have earned.
You should have been com and sated. Right, You're compensated through your paychecks. But you're also entitled to a series of benefits that is part of the compensation you are supposed to receive. And I know some of you, I just some folks are fine with this, but other folks think, no, I don't want any more. You know, I've I've got my check or whatever. But these these programs, there's a lot of them. There's a lot of things that they've that this government has put into place to compensate you.
It is not a handout, my friends. It is not an entitlement. It is something that you have earned. It is part of your compensation. And I'm not sure, actually, I know that many have not accessed a lot of the benefits that you're entitled to. And you will have noticed here in the past couple of months that we've partnered with a gentleman by the name of Albert Winks. He's a former MEDEVAC pilot. He's retired from the military and he now helps veterans make sure they're getting all of their all of
their benefits. And so you've heard his ads on this program. But what I thought I would do today, just for the sake of simplicity, is to tell you. Look, I think, and I don't care where you are, I don't care when you served. It's part of what is due due to you. And I think it would be worth your while to talk
to Albert. I've gotten, we've gotten our company collectively to know Albert here over the past the past several months, and he helps people in a lot of ways access a lot of a lot of things that they are old, and it can be a blessing and it can help in many many ways. I mean, the amount of benefits that people leave untouched is from what I gather, is pretty substantial. And so I think it's worth your time. Arbeit from you make this decision on your own, of course, but I
think it's worth your time to talk to Albert. He has he's actually gotten all of his there's a term for it. It's slipping me at the moment, one hundred percent something. He has. He's got all of his and he basically helps everyone else get all of theirs as well. And so to simplify it, I know, I you can go to his website, Ascension Mentorship, and there's a page there for the Fulfilled Veteran Project. But I'm just going to simplify it today, because that's a lot of stuff to hear
over the radio. What I'm gonna do is say, text me and I'll connect you. We will connect you. Text the word veteran, the E, T R, A N, text the word vets. All know what it means. We will know what it means, and we can connect you to Albert. Get you on his calendar. You can communicate with him about those benefits that you have earned. And that is what I want you to
hear him. You say, I know that we talk as conservatives, as libertarians, as lovers of limited government, not lovers of big government, lovers of liberty, limited government and the constitution, constitutional republics and so forth that are rooted in goodness and truth as ours is. By the way, we talk about entitlements and how that can be a drag on society. That is not what this is. It isn't. Albert can explain more. But if you want to talk with him again, I'll connect you. We'll get you
on his calendar. Just text the word veteran to three one seven, two one zero twenty eight thirty. Even if you're on the fence right now, it's worth it. I'm I'm telling you it's worth it one more time. Grab a pin, jot it down here. It is text the word veteran three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty. As I've said these words and talked about nine to eleven today and thought about your sacrifices, it's just
first and front first, it's it's in the front of my mind. First and foremost in my mind is I think about what you've done, what this nation has done, but specifically what you have done, and your you should be You should get access to all the things that the government has set aside to compensate you as part of your sacrifice. So again, text the word veteran three one seven two one zero, twenty eight thirty. I'm gonna take a time out. My friends will connect you with Albert Winks. He'll help
you figure out if you've got access to all your benefits. Chances are you don't, on some of you might, and chances are you might be very very surprised as to what you can access. So quick, time out, my friend, sit tight back in just a minute. A couple of other things I want to touch on. I'm not gonna be able to get to all of this, but I do want to I do want to point out
or talk briefly about this. Remember the Nashville school shooter here several weeks ago, there was supposedly a manifesto that was that was written and an official for the city of Nashville. I don't know if that official was a member of the police department or spoke. I don't know who it was, but I've I've read on this. I just don't have it pulled up in front of
me here. I'm doing that as I speak. But the Nashville that the individual who was speaking on this said that this is that this particular manifesto is astronomically dangerous. Appears that there may be at one point they were talking about releasing this in general. I don't know from the sounds of this, I don't know what they're going to do. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't really understand because the individuals not elaborate what it is that's
that's dangerous. Is it the detailed plan, which apparently, according to reports there were it was highly detailed. So is that what's dangerous? Is the mentality in the rationale behind it dangerous? Is there something else here. I'm not. I'm not sure because we're not. We haven't seen it yet and we may not. We may not see it. So that's out there. We've got politics. We got desantist firing back at Trump. De Santis firing back at Trump, and you know what he should fire back at Trump.
Trump's been going really hard at DeSantis. De Santis, I think, over the weekend said that leaders don't subcontract their leadership to health bureaucrats like doctor Fauci. Remember when I said, I, look, I think that De Santis should not run. I like De Santis a lot, don't even I don't even think that should be interpreted as I prefer De Santis over over Trump, or excuse me, Trump over De Santis. That's not even what I mean. I just think strategically it is in the best interests of De Santis to
not to not jump into this race. It appears that that's very likely, very possibly anyway where we're headed, So the Santis is not going back after Trump. Trump's of course been going after the Santis for some time, calling him to sanctimonious bad mouthing the state of Florida, which is again where we are at the moment. I gotta tell you, I Trump Trump is it may not be on the right side of this one. There's a lot of a lot of ways that Trump can, of course, get people behind him.
And I think his desire to fight, in his desire to address some of these key issues like securing our southern border, protecting Americans Second Amendment rights, fighting, stopping what he would call the deep state, draining the swamp, the people are behind that stuff on. But if he wants to take the santas on over the handling of COVID, I just I don't know that that's one that he's going to win. So we got that out there. We got Chris Christie out there saying he thinks he can beat Trump. He
thinks he can beat Trump. There was a time years ago that I thought we you know, Chris CHRISTI is a moderate guy, and he's in some ways. In some ways he's got that brash style that's similar to Trump, but he's been so politicized and and he's he's you know, turned into a politician, I think, and he's been he moves so far left, of course, as he's from the Northeast and all that. But anyway, so there's just some other things in the news, and I just them don't have
time to get to anymore. I get to get time out. My friends. Sit tight. You're listening to America's Home for Conservative not Better Talk. I'm your host, the one, the only taught tough back in just a minute, welcome back my friend's waning moment of the program. I know it's the most, well, the saddest part of the day probably, and I can relate to that I did see. I want to say this really briefly, Charles Barkley and Gail King. Isn't this Oprah's Is Oprah's friend? I
don't follow that stuff very closely. Oz is not in here with me today. I think that's Oprah's friend. I could be wrong, but they are apparently about to launch a well. I think it's a television show that is the Democrats or the liberals closest attempt at something conservative not better. They're going to try to do something where they're not screaming each other. We'll see how that pans out. I've seen imitators all over the place, but no one
can harness the power of conservative not Better Talk. Folks. I've got to go thank you so much for listening. Have a great day, SDG.
