Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for conservative not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to the right. Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Tod Huff. Well, that is right, my friends, you have tuned in to America's homes for conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, Todd Huff,
the benevolent dictator. Here at the top half show. You have found radio's safe space podcasts. Safe space. My friend so I used to say, I don't care what you believe. I do care what you believe. But you can be a leftist, a liberal. You can be a moderate, a Union day democrat. You can be a conservative, a libertarian. You can be an anarchist, you can be whatever. You can be the antithesis of me, an atheistic, radical leftist. You are welcome to listen to
this program. I need to advise you, though, that listening to this program will undoubtedly cause you to lean to the right. In fact, ninety eight percent of scientists, it's even one percent more one percent more of scientists agree that listening to this program may cause you to lean to the right than believe that man is the primary driving force causing climate change on planet Earth. So you have been duly warned, my friends, exercise extreme caution if you're
operating heavy machinery, if you're driving a vehicle. I would even say, if you're walking down the hallway with something like a cup of coffee, you will find yourself drifting to the right. Just be advised, my friends, you have been warned. So a lot of the things again in the stack of stuff here that I want to get to, I want to today.
I want to talk a little bit about the October seventh attack. I want to talk specifically about polling regarding Palestinians and their support for what happened on October seventh of last year when they attacked Israel. Tom Brady's that's considered a curse word in the part of the country where I am, the Indianapolis area is not a fan of Tom Brady. The Patriots and tom Brady whooped us for
a long time. In fact, I wonder I find myself wondering how many Super Bowls Peyton Manning would have if there wasn't a guy named Tom Brady in the NFL. I have since there was a time when I did not like Tom Brady. I have since come to really appreciate respect and like tom Brady. He was a what I was not elect but he was placed into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame and he's got He gave a speech that I would say is an anti woke speech talking about success, achievement, hard work,
things that I think the world needs to hear more of. Candidly, I've got a little bit on that as well. And there's other things, including the way that social media impacts or even changes the way that we look at the world. So that's where we're headed today. So bear with me as we get things rolling along here. Before we get started into full swing, let me remind you that if you are looking to take care of your

Sponsors and advertisers of The Todd Huff Show do not necessarily agree with the views, ideas, and opinions expressed on this program, but they absolutely should. So let's start here today. We know what's happening in Gaza. We know the story of of
course, what's happened there. We've seen the protests, the tensions, the fights in Congress, the openly anti Semitic statements, the college campuses that were taken over by insert directionists, college campuses that were taken over by occupiers, the true occupiers taking over college campuses, if you will, to show their support, their solidarity with the terrorist organization Hamas. We've seen all these things happen. We've seen tensions around the globe. We've seen just anti Semitic stuff,
pro terrorist stuff, and now there's a poll out. All this all stemmed from what happened October seventh, which some people have a hard time saying was an evil act of terrorism that was absolutely one unjustified. But that's I guess, neither here nor there at the moment. It's just quite telling who these people are. Headline here at Breitbart dot com. Sixty seven poll sixty seven percent of Palestinian support October seventh attack. To expect Hamas to win,
so two thirds two thirds of Palestinians support the attack on October seventh. Now in a sane world, there is absolutely zero, I mean zero reason to support what happened on October seventh. And you know what happened, But just to quickly summarize, you had a group of terrorist thugs enter into Israel, invade Israel, carrying AK forty seven other firearms and so forth, storming towns,
killing people. It didn't matter if they were elderly, it didn't matter if they were children, it didn't matter if they were men or women. They stormed and killed people, They tortured people. They took some of these people hostage. Some of these people are still hostages today. They have raped and murdered and tortured untold numbers of Israelis. There were Americans in this group of people that were taking hostage as well. They produced carnage. It was
wicked, it was unacceptable. But yet polling shows that sixty seven percent of Palestinians support what happened on October the seventh. There's no justification for this. Now, I will tell you this. Now, this is interesting. The poll, and I'm reading from this article, the poll shows that the drop
in support for October seventh was entirely in Gaza. So the poll showed that support for October seventh in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip, which is where all of this military activity is happening, the support for October seventh dropped from seventy one percent to fifty three percent. Now the Palestinians in the West Bank, which is over of course that's Jerusalem, that's not that's not the Gaza Strip along the Mediterranean. This is more over on the other side of Israel.
It's it's close because Israel is a small country, roughly the size of New Jersey. But the Palestinians in the West Bank in the support for October seventh had increased from the initial polls taken. I don't have the date when the initial poles were taken, oh, back in March. So Palestinians in
the West Bank support Hamas two percent more now than they did previously. But the people who were there with the fighting amidst the fighting in Gaza went from supporting October seventh and from seventy one percent supporting it to fifty three percent. So it's almost a toss up now. But I find this this is worth
noting because a couple of things. Number one, Number one, we are you know, when you think of when you think of governing authorities, and I know Hamasi, you know it's a terrorist organization, but it's also a governing authority in that part of the world. It's I mean, it's crazy to say and to think about, but this is who the people elected. This is who the people elected to lead them in that part of the world.
But it you know, a lot of times a governing authority people who those who are responsible for making these decisions, the ones that will be waging war. As an example, they might have values, or they might be acting out values different from the people, or they might be acting completely against the will of the people. I'm reminded of Iran. Iran's a good example of this. You know, our problem in Iran is with the leadership,
with the Ayatolahs, with the radical Islamic terrorists running that country. That's who The problem is with the beef is not with the rank and file. Now, certainly there are people in the rank and file who agree with and support and go along with these things that the Iranian thugs leading that country are doing. But there's a movement for liberty amongst those people. Those people in Iran have suffered tremendously. That is an oppressive, heavy handed, evil regime.
But the people in fact, you remember, remember back when Obama was president, there was an uprising amongst the people, and no support was really shown or given to these folks. And so that we must differentiate between the governing officials and governing authorities versus the individual people of the country. Now what's interesting here, though, is that the people in the country are still out there supporting Now it's people in gays are barely supporting what happened on October seventh.
Now, there's another factor here that's kind of interesting. And the interesting part of this that I want to share with you is that listen to this. Eighty percent of Palestinian respondents claimed that they had not seen videos of hamas atrocities on October seventh, seventh, So, of the people who responded to this poll who said that they supported October seventh, almost none of them. Only one out of every five of them had actually seen videos of what Hamas did
on October seventh. Now, on the one hand, if I describe it to you, if I describe to you that Hamas was killing women and children, raping women, murdering people, regardless of their age, how elderly healthy they were. You know, this was a surprise terrorist attack, designed to basically terrorize and to kill and to commit violence against a group of people that did nothing to deserve this, And so that should be enough. That should
be enough to make you say that wasn't a good thing. I don't support what happened on October seventh. By the way, if someone tells you they support October seventh, my friends, they are openly embracing evil. They are openly embracing terrorism. They are openly embracing absolute depravity and evil. That's what this is. So, but these Palestinians haven't seen the videos, which maybe
to some makes the difference. This article points out that only three percent of those who said they had not seen the videos said that Hamas had committed atrocities. So what does this point out. It's a point out of distrust for what's being reported. Do they think that they're being maligned? What do they think was happening on October seventh? I mean, it's clear that October seventh was something they support. October seventh, What is it that they support?
What do they think happened? What do they think is being lied about what do they think the lies that are being told in the media, in the narrative. What is the part that they're not connecting here? Only three percent of those who had said they had not seen the video, so that Hamas had committed atrocities. So basically seeing is believing here. So why don't they
Why don't they see? Why don't they want to see this? Why don't I mean there's a gap here, right, there's a gap regarding what is well, what living in reality looks like, and then what supporting terrorism looks like. So but it's we have to come to grips with the fact that this is largely supported. What happened on October seventh was largely supported out this does not again, this doesn't. I don't say this to say that israel Is, you know, shouldn't have any restraint or try to you know,
not involve not involve citizens. And that's not my point in saying this. I'm just pointing out that this ideology has absolutely infiltrated almost in some cases almost completely. The Palestinian people and our leaders are the ones who are out here showing their support for these people who are saying October seventh was a good thing. Basically, that's what members of Congress are saying, people like aoc Rashieta talib elon Omar defending these these folks. This is why it's hard to win.
You know, when we were into Rock, the whole mission of winning hearts and minds. Whatever you think about a rock, I'm not I'm not saying it to open that can. I'm just saying part of the mission was to win, to try to win the hearts and minds, to to to get people to see that you know, this cause was the right side of the you know, the right side of the argument, the right side of
the conflict, whether you agree with it or not. But that's that's a big part of these battles is to say, you know, it's not just enough to go in and try to win militarily. That's that's important, right, I mean, we have to be able to to win these battles militarily. Israel does in this case. I'm not saying US troops should do this, but it's more than that. It's actually it's actually getting to the root
cause of all of the hate. And if you got two thirds of Palestinians who say it was totally fine, October seventh, was even a good thing. That's a major problem I remember, and I gotta take it. I gotta take a little pause here, but well, I'm gonna take a pause and then I'm gonna tell you something that I remember watching on on a documentary years ago. But, my friends, if you're currently smoking, if you're currently chewing, if you're currently vaping, nick Knack Naturals is here to help

vice. So nicknack dot com is the website in ic nac. Nickknack dot com promo code todd will save you fifteen percent off of your purchase. Crush your vice my friends with nick Knack Naturals. All right, So I remember years ago, I'm talking heres, this is probably twenty years ago. I
remember watching a documentary. I don't remember exactly what it was. My memory is not quite that good, but I remember they went to like a Palestinian school, and you know, to understand how deep this hatred exists, how deeply rooted it is. I remember I was blown away by this. Really. I was, you know, younger man, probably in my early to mid twenties, still trying to, you know, understand some of these things. And I realized that, you know, the depth of this problem.
And so in this school, in this Palestinian school, they were teaching so I think it was math, math or reading, you know, and you know how there's story problems in math today. Or you know, you have a sample paragraph that you read in reading class. You're you're learning to read, your kids learning to read, and the paragraph was for the reading was something like, you know, the evil Israeli pigs or something like that. That was the sentence. And so what's so terrible about this sort of thing
is that this is this is speaking on a subconscious level. You're not sitting the kids down and saying, hey, we are you know, the Israeli people are bad and they're and you actively try to persuade them. Which I'm not endorsing that either. I'm saying that this is even worse because the kids don't have their defenses up. It's like they're just getting facts. They're just learning to read. But as they're learning to read, they're being told,
they're being reminded of how wicked the Israelis are. And so this fire is constantly being having having accelerant and fuel added to the fire that's burning within this conflict. And the math was the same way, right if you have you know, seven evil Israelis doing this and you you know, you kill three of them, you know, like that sort of stuff was in in the story problems or in the in the example reading text, and that is I mean, it's insidious, it's it's cancerous. And so we wonder, we
wonder what two thirds of Palestinians support this stuff. Well, that's a part of the reason that sort of thing right there. This stuff runs deep. It is evil, it is sick, and it's the reason that it's hard to win these battles for the hearts and minds because there's so much, so much misinformation, so much intentional programming, intentional hatred, hitting groups of people
against one another. This runs deep, my friends. And of course there's the reality that this conflict and tension can be traced back to Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael thousands of years ago. Another issue altogether. But this is a deep, deep, deep problem. But to think that two thirds of Palestinians support October seventh, I mean that should be an eye opening reality to people
who want to say that the problem is Israel. Least that should cause, my goodness, that should cause any normal person, any reasonable person, to just pause and to think, pause, and to think that there is you know, a lot more, a lot more to the argument that says Israel is not the bad guy anyway. That's where we are, my friends, with this situation. So the conflict runs deep, the hatred runs deep. Two thirds of Palestinians think that October seventh is justified. So that being said,
that's all I'm gonna say about that. Right now. We're going to take a break. When we get back to from the brick. I want to shift gears here just a bit. In the meantime, you're gonna sit tight and you're going to enjoy this next couple of minutes as we take our time out, and I will see you, my friends, on the other side of the break. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one and only Tod Huff Back in just a minute,
my friends. The other thing I wanted to talk with you about today, There's two other things I want to get to here. One of them is this article I found. This is called the website's culture Sidle culturesitle dot com. This is in the stack. This is in the stack of stuff. I think that this is again, as we're thinking about the overall fight that we're having in this society, this cold civil war, and the multiple fronts that we're fighting this battle on, I think it's important to understand some
of these things. And this is a piece. The headline here is the big skew. How social media breaks the way that we look at the world. I want to talk about this is this is a good piece written by John Hawkins. Before I do that though. Before I do that, though, let me tell you a little bit about our friends at Harvard Goldgroup dot com. Friends. Gold is a safe haven asset, but the government and investment firms have touted for a long time now that bonds are the safest investment
and a safe haven asset. With the current situation in the bond market, you wouldn't have made money in a bond in about sixteen years if you count if you account for inflation, you would have lost significantly. On the other hand, most people are unaware that physical gold and silver have outperformed both the S and P and the Dow over the last twenty years. The mainstream media never covers this, but it is probably because banks and investment companies do not
talk about it. Financial advisors they push bonds as a safe haven balance to people's retirement account instead of physical gold because they only sell paper assets. The deeper reason for this mentality and the way of thinking is that institutions can borrow and leverage against paper assets and not actual hard assets. Therefore, these hard
assets are not as financially advantageous to these firms. Hard assets are, however, more advantageous for people for many reasons, including balancing their portfolios and their wealth in general.

You know, it's different, it's different today than it was when I was a kid, back when I was a kid in the nineteen eighties, that's when I grew up. We walked to school uphill both ways in snow. Remarkable sort of thing. But you know how it is. But it is different too, right, You know that the world is different.
You know that if you grew up in the eighties or nineties, you know many of you your experiences were like mine. You were outside a lot, arguably all the time. Whatever you were doing, I mean, sometimes surviving, sometimes I don't know, playing basketball, maybe swimming, maybe just going through the neighborhood, riding bikes whatever. I did a lot of those things. But as Nate Bargtsi said, there was no social media when I was in school. Anything that I was alleged to have done is a rumor.
It doesn't exist permanently on the in the digital space. There's not a video, there's not some documentation. It's just a memory. It's just a story, and it can be denied at any time. The world is different today, right. That's the reality of how our kids are living today, is that whether it's social media specifically or just the digital world that we live in, it impacts the way that they are raised. It impacts the way that they live their lives. I mean, kids are having cell phones at younger
ages. There's texting, there's all that can come from that. There's social media, there's websites, there's all of these these things, and there's a digital footprint for this stuff. And on top of that, on top of that, for those who spend lots of time on social media, it's easy to think that that is reality. And that's kind of what John Hawkins is
writing about here. Let me read a bit of this. Although I am certainly not a big Instagram user, he writes, it occurred to me the other day that out of the one hundred and seventy three I follow on Instagram, four of them are current or past world record holders in the bench press, squat or deadlift. I listen to podcasts and watch YouTube videos from many of the same people, along with others who travel in those same circles.
For example, here's a podcast I listen to on occasion. It's called Dave Tate's Table Talk. He's just kind of showing you, you know, his digital footprint, I guess. So, what do you think in putting all of this into someone's brain on a regular basis would do to their idea of what they would consider a physically strong person to be. So if you're just listening to people who are, you know, the strongest of people in the world, it might have an influence on what your definition of strong is.
Now, that's not necessarily all bad. In fact, sometimes sometimes these sorts of things. You know, iron sharpens iron, and you can help it can help you excel. But at the same time, at the same token, we've got this reality that says, you know, if I live in this little bubble, this little microcosm that's that's a bubble, it's not a representation of the real world, then that could make me That could impact the way I look at my world and myself. And so he's he's calling this
a skew. The skew that social media creates is everywhere. You know, you could say, think about it as echo chambers. Right. I rail about this a little bit, you know where. I'm a guy that believes in the old fashioned concept of persuasion. Right now, do I believe everyone is able to be persuaded? No? Do I believe that some people are
absolutely against the truth. One I believe that. But do I believe that there are genuinely confused people out there that have been subjected to all this nonsense in the world of public schools, in the world of media on social media, where they've been forced had these these morally bankrupt ideas of the radical left forced upon them. You better believe that. I believe that. And they
need to hear truth. They need to hear truth. And so the problem is, the problem is once you get into those bubbles, you lose all reality, you lose all of the alternative perspective altogether. Now, I'm not saying that if you are you know that you should indulge in all different viewpoints of the world. Some of these viewpoints are dangerous and things that we shouldn't be feeding into our minds, but in general to understand things that there's nothing
wrong with trying to understand them either. But there's a danger that comes from living in these proverbial echo chambers. It's it's remarkable sometimes and I go,
I do go. I go into some of these places that you know, are are just full of leftists and anti trumpers, and I listen to what they say, and I think, man, do they not know about this or that, and sometimes they're talking about things that I'm like, what are they even talking about because it's distory or it's not the talking point or the way that they've broken it down is not a reflection of reality or some such thing. These things are. It's dangerous, right, and it can skew
our opinions of things. It's how people get like, I'm not saying that there's no conspiracy theory in the world. It's true, but they all aren't. They all aren't true. Some of these things require a remarkable amount of you know, just rejecting in some cases common sense. Again, that doesn't mean that they're all false. I'm not saying that none of them have no basis in reality. I'm just saying that they're not all true. We all
know that some of these are just are not true. But if you live in the world that that's all that you hear about and consume on social media, it's easy to immediately be taken into that. In fact, I was talking with a friend the other day who knows someone that he's told me that that's what's happened to this to a person that he knows. So it's important that we recognize this right that we can live. And that's for us too. It's not just for people who have these wacky and crazy ideas and beliefs.
It's also for for us as well. So pausing here, I'm looking at the clock. You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go ahead and take the break. I'm gonna take the break here. Get a few more words to say about this time permitting. I don't know if I've got time, but Tom Brady gave a really good acceptance speech into the Patriot Hall of Fame. And that's on the stack of stuff on the website todt Huffshow dot com. If you want to see that. I probably won't have time
to get to that. Got to take a break here. Wrap up in the next segment, but timeouts in order. My friends, sit tight. You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, Todd huff Back in just a minute, Todd Hofshow. Sorry, they're a technical difficulty. There bumped a button I wasn't supposed to bump. So the article I was referencing last segments, the piece by John Hawkins. It's a good read. I'm not gonna be able to get through this whole thing. It's
worth it's worth checking out. It's on the stack of stuff, or if you want to go straight to the website, it's culture Sidle. There's no e Culturesidle, one word dot com, so you can check that out. Some closing thoughts on that as we as we wrap up here. But my friends, before we get into the wrap up portion of the program, let me tell you that I've recently here about a month. I started a weight loss program with PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition and they have helped in a lot
of ways. We're down about ten pounds. They have a weekly one on one coaching session. They have customized meal plans. During those weekly meetings, they can tweak your customized plan, provide some education. They they send out some educational things throughout the week as well. It's a holistic approach. They help provide some behavioral support. And you know, I got to tell you there's the plan. You know, some of these diets make you're hungry a
lot. That's not the case with this particular plan. It's really you're really not hungry. They provide food as well. They provide eighty percent of your food at no additional cost. If that's something you should choose to use. They'll also help you if you don't want to use any of the food. In fact, ultimately the goal is to get you off of their food. But they have some a variety of products to help you on your journey. I didn't like all of them, I'll be honest with you, but some
of them are very good. I think I mentioned the protein bars. They've got some, they've got some shakes, they've got some other snack products that are pretty good. And so anyway, I wanted to share that with you if you want to give it a try, if you want to talk with them about doing that, you can visit their website. Phdweight loss dot com is where you would go for that, And excuse me, my PhD weight
loss dot com. My PhD weight loss dot com. That's m y pH D weightloss dot com and you can check it out, talk with them about it, learn more about it. It's something that I'm doing here, and if you are looking to get healthier and to lose weight, I would encourage you to check them out at least have a conversation my PhD weight loss dot com. So back to this closing closing thoughts here on this this this piece by John Hawkins, and this concept of how social media can really skew the
way that we look at the world. I mean, it stands to reason, right, if we're wherever, wherever we live digitally, if we're living in a world that only has in this case, in the case of politics, radic leftists or people who are vehemently opposed to and hate Trump, then it shouldn't be surprising if that's, of course what we become as well, birds of a feather end up of course flocking together, as they say.
Likewise, if we're living in a world where we only listen to say pro Trump things and so forth, sometimes we might be unaware of some of the things that people don't like about him and look just for me, for the sake of being able to communicate with them, I like to know these things. And so living in those echo chambers can be can be dangerous, it can it can definitely skew our version, our view of reality. It's why both sides are so convinced that their side is going to win this election.
Right, you go into certain anti Trump circles and then some of these folks are just you know, they think Trump has no chance. Trump's a felon. Trump's going to spin the rest of his life in prison, probably end up in the electric chair, not far from that. And then in other circles, you think, you know, people say Trump's going to win in a landslide and all those I think that that's between those two alternatives, that's
more likely than the other. But folks, we're talking about slim numbers of people in key states, right, I mean, this, this could be, This could still swing, although it makes no sense to me. All the data seems to suggest that Trump is is walloping Biden. There's no reason for anyone to support Biden. The only reason people have to support Biden is because they've been driven into a frenzy to hate and to fear Trump. But
it's not because anything he's done is working. Although I listened to Donnie Deutsch and James Carvill on a short little podcast interview, the two of them, you know, talking back and forth, and Carvill said, Biden, it's just so crazy to me, But Biden has had the best economy pretty much ever. He's the best president for the economy pretty much in American history, well as it pertained too. I think it was Black Americans anyway. Echo
chambers are a dangerous thing. And if you just live in an echo chamber, if you just live in an echo chamber, it's hard to understand how to persuade people on the other side because you don't know what they think. And I think that's a critically critically important part of the process too, because friends, we are in a mess, and if we continue on this trajectory without winning any more hearts and minds to our side of the fight here,
we're not going to make up the ground. We need to actually change things. We're going to have to persuade. We're gonna have to understand what they think, even if we don't understand it or agree with it. I gotta go them. Let's have a great day. SDG
