Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. Welcome, my friends to the home of Conservative not Bitter Talk. I am your host, the one, the only, the ever so beloved Todd Huff
Email. You know the game, You know the drill if you've been listening for any link to time Todd at Todd Huffshow dot com three one seven, two one zero twenty eight to thirty. That's the text line. Thoughts, questions, feedback, adoration, and praise needs to accompany whatever you send to either one of those, either the email or the number. It's good to be here today. So you know, if you really want to know what the left thinks about where we stand in this election, you really want to
know where, well what the left is preparing itself to deal with. I think there's no better example of that, no better example of that than what I heard what I heard from Jake Tapper the other day. Sorry, my SoundBite has skipped the I have to reload it here. But Jake Tapper on CNN is inviting well, let me just read you. This is a tweet from a gentleman named Curtis how Curtis Holck is the managing editor of new NewsBusters
NewsBusters. In fact, you'll hear us from time to time reference NewsBusters on here. But Curtis Howck tweeted this out. It's a clip from CNN. Here's what the tweet reads from Curtis Howck, CNN's Jake Tapper and the cast of the ultra elites at the Atlantic. That's a very radical leftist publication that thinks it's much smarter than everybody in this audience. Want you to know that they're very disappointed in you numbskulls who don't or won't, excuse me, vote
Democrat. In twenty twenty four, they just did fifteen minutes on why America and the world would cease to exist if Trump wins. They truly hate you and don't care you know it should there be an if in there. Maybe. So they've got these elitists, these leftists, these radicals on here, and so they're in panic mode. They're an outright, unmistakable panic mode.
So they've written in the Atlantic, which I'll put in today's show notes, but they've gotten in this publication in the Atlantic, they've got a series of I don't even know how many. It's like a If you go to the digital version of this, there's so many articles about all the dangers of Trump.
It's like a landing page. So if you can, for those of you that are tech savvy, or if you know what I mean from a marketing perspective, So you click on the link to the article, and it's not just the article, it's a link then to like sections of the article. So for example, it would have one person writing about Trump's threat to I don't know journalism. It would have another section, another link, and this is at the top. I don't even think when I click on the
link that I can see any of the article. It's a series of articles. It's like a it's like a mini series. It's like a book, and it's got all of these threats. Trump on misogyny, trump on you know, journalism, trump on who probably authoritarianism, trump on whatever, overthrowing our democracy, which of course you know, we have a constitutional republic. But the point is, the point is there's there's like ten or fifteen. I don't even know how many. I didn't take the time to count.
It's just and it'll say, like you know, Author A on Trump's threat to misogyny, Author B on Trump's threat to journalism, Author C. And it's just a list of radical leftists, self appointed experts, elitists who loathe the average rank and file American. And so this is designed, as is everything that the left u is designed to further their agenda, further their cause, to try to give someone some reason to vote for Biden, to not vote for Trump. I mean, these things just taken on their own and
looked at for face value. My friends, these folks need to be evaluated for some sort of a mental breakdown. This stuff is so ridiculous and so absurd. In fact, the starting point of these series of articles is, well, Trump was terrible in twenty sixteen in his first term, but he's going to be so much worse. He's going to be so much worse in his second term. We don't even know. Trump had every chance to figure out all the ins and outs, and now he really knows, he really
knows how to navigate the system. In fact, you'll remember I've said on this program, I'm pausing to think. You know Rush. I know Rush used to say this. He says, I know these people like the back of my hand. And he would also say, which is a much more colorful way of putting it, Rush with this is Rush saying it. He would say, I know these people like every square inch of my glorious naked body. Is what he would say. And he did. He did,
and I think we all do too. We know who these these folks are, and we've pointed out that this is what they were going to do. They have no other option, my friends, they have no other option. They cannot tell us reasons to vote for Biden. They cannot give us reasons in our day to day life of things that are better. They cannot point to something and say wow, look at They try to. They try to do this with January sixth. They try to act as though we were on
the verge of our government collapse and give me a break. Absolutely, just the ridiculousness of that entire argument. And again, people that broke the law need to face the consequences. We would be nice to know how many people were FEDS there understand really all the evidence of what was going on that day. But no matter who broke what law, there needs to be consequence.
But that does not mean the only two options, the only two options for January sixth, are not It was either the near death of the American governing system or just a tour of the Capitol building that day. Those are not the only two options. Reasonable people understand that, yes, there was a protest, Yes there were plenty of people that didn't do anything wrong. There were people that did do things wrong, and the ones that did need to
be held accountable. But they shouldn't. They shouldn't have things ginned up, they shouldn't have a lack of access to due process. And that's what's happening. And so they point to January sixth, they've compared January tomorrow. By the way, today today is one of the days they compare to January sixth, and I usually talk about this day. If you go back through the archives of December seventh, you'll hear where we've talked about Pearl Harbor Day.
We'll probably do that for a bit. It's an important day in the history of this great nation. It was an incredibly destructive and sad day for this great nation in no universe. Should December seventh, nineteen forty one be compared to January sixth, twenty twenty one the other day they like to throw around flippantly without regard for reality. In comparing to comparison to January sixth is September eleventh, two thousand and one. They literally compare those two days, those
two days where thousands of Americans were killed. My enemy force is won by the Imperial Japanese, the other at the hands of the radical Islamic terrorists, by the way, the kissing cousins of Hamas, who they also currently defend today. It's just remarkable the series, the series of events that have gotten us to where we are today. But they cannot make this election about anything
besides the un mitigated fear of Donald J. Trump. And that's what these articles, that's what this article or series of articles I guess in The Atlantic is about. So with that being said, good old Jake Tapper CNN, he wants to wants you to believe he's a real, fair minded, objective journalist. He invites some of these folks on. He wants his viewers few and far between, though they may be. He wants his viewers to listen to just how serious this really is. We're this isn't a game anymore.
There's real risk here for this country. I want you to listen. I'm not going to play this whole thing. It's several minutes. In fact, the whole thing I think maygo fifteen minutes, So don't worry about that. I just want you to listen to get a feel about what's being said.
Hey, let's start done here. Warning twenty four. Leave a special issue of the Atlantic magazine so that he lays at a detailed, compelling case that's specifically helling what could happen if Donald Trump returns to the Oval office by Atlantic writers outline how the threats to democracy will be bigger than ever before. Stop that, now, listen. I don't care if there's two million essays, Jake. What matters is the context. He acts as though the number of
essays that the starting point here is that. I mean, we've got this regular journalists out there doing their work, and they were all just independently working here, just you know, taking the day's events where the day's events might take them, and they stumbled onto this, and they all realized Hey, we're all writing about the same thing. Now he's not saying that directly, but that's kind of the feel here, is it not we had twenty four?
Why else would he point out twenty four? Otherwise? Otherwise he could have simply said the Atlantic called a meeting like we did here at CNN, and they said, hey, I want each of you to take a subject that's going to be worse when Trump is president, and a well, should Trump be president in twenty twenty four? In fact, if James O'Keefe was there, if he had the log in credentials for the Atlantics Zoom meeting Zoom
meeting room, then we might have actual evidence of this. It wasn't as though these journalists just all happened to just by chance be writing about these things. This is exactly the strategy, This is the intention, this is what it is by design. And I've got a break. I've got a break here, so we'll play this thing. More of this thing on the other side of the break. The faux outrage, the fake panic too much for me to take today, my friends, sits out. You're listening to conservative,
not better talk. I am your host, Todt huff back in a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Sue listening here to this SoundBite, be ever so panicked, Jake Tapper, I want you to know that democracy as we know it. Of course, I know we have a constitutional republic. I'm simply using their words. By the way, that is a code. That's when they say democracy, and this applies anytime I say it on
this program. Just hear me out, democracy as we know it is at risk when they say that, when they say Trump is a threat to our democracy. Trump's going to end our democracy. Trump's going to overthrow our democracy. Whatever I am hereby giving myself in this day today, December seventh, twenty twenty three, this free pass up is going to apply to all points at all shows that I've ever done that I talk about this so basically, when they use that phrase, what they're trying to do, they don't really
get bogged down and defining words. They they try to find the words in the way to phrase it that has the ability to elicit the strongest emotional response, the strongest desired emotional response from those who hear it, and that is one of fear. They want you to be so afraid. They want the American people to be so afraid that they will cast a ballot for anybody who's
not associated with whatever scary term they've come up with. And so the term is overthrowing our democracy, a danger to our democracy, danger to our institutions, which suddenly they care about. They've been destroying these things for decades. It's all a facade, it's all make believe, it's all faux outrage. None of this is real. It's all about salvaging if they can the twenty twenty four election. They are terrified of Trump in multiple ways. One way
that we'll get to as the program unfolds, that we've already touched. I tell you some days I read the news and I think you guys are lucky because we've talked about these things, in some cases years in advance of the things that are in the news today. Because it's predictable, it really is. And so none of this is real. And when they say again, our democracies at risk, I know that we live in a constitutional republic, and that matters. It's not a pure democracy, and there's some key differences.
A constitutional republic is designed to protect the rights of the smallest minority, which is the individual, and so they enumerated some of the liberties. Some of the liberties the founders would say, we're given to us by our creator. Oh my goodness, gasp. Our creator is the one that give us rights. Not the government, not someone who's been elected, not some elitist, not someone who's a writer for the Atlantic. Our rights, your rights,
They don't come from any person. They come from Almighty God, a virtue of being a human being. You have those rights no matter what Joseph Robinette Bribery says about them, no matter what these authors at the Atlantic say about them, no matter what take your pick, no matter what anybody says about them, you have them. A democracy, looking, there are democratic aspects in a constitutional republic. We have the right to be self governed through
representation and through the constitution, which is the rules. Them's the rules, right, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. We can self govern ourselves, but there are certain things we can't do, and we cannot take away the rights of the individual. It doesn't matter if ninety nine percent of the people want to take away someone's rights. That's not the way that it works. But that's not how the left. Now, the left has dumb people
down. The left has deceived people as to what a democracy really is. There's a risk. There's certainly that the idea of self government governance is a great thing, but there's a risk there's a thing called the tyranny of the
majority that the founders were terrified of. And if you if you look at the landscape of today, it's these These are reasons why they were because people can be stirred into a frenzy by these leftists, by these members if you will, of the Seven Pillars of Propaganda, who are out there lying and deceiving each and every day, stirring people into a frenzy, getting people to
abandon principles overnight because they're so afraid of something whatever. They've been stirred into a frenzy over and the founder said, we want something that's not at the whim of the tyranny of the majority. And so when I if I ever say on here they're worried about our democracy, it's to use their own phraseology. But it's also I'm not going to stop every time and explain that because they don't have the time. And sometimes I see comments about people who think
I'm saying it. I'm simply saying the phrases. They're saying, we absolutely unequivocally live in a constitutional republic. It absolutely positively matters. But I can't stop and do that every time. So anyway, so what Jake Tapper here, going back to this SoundBite, is that what he's doing, what they
are doing collectively. Maybe there was another meeting at CNN. Who knows chances are probably better than not that they had a meeting and they said, okay, guys, look, let's sit down here and let's talk about what we can do to stop Trump in twenty twenty four because he's kicking our butts in the polls. Biden is out there getting, you know, needing help off of stages. We have no viable candidate. There's nothing good that hope.
We got open borders, we've got Yeah, we've stopped the rate of growth of inflation, but we've done disastrous our policies. Of course they wouldn't admit this, but the truth is their policies have done dramatic harm, great harm to this country, to our economy. Everywhere we look, the world is on fire courtesy of the leftist running this country. American weakness, it turns out, is, as I've said for a long time American weakness is what's
truly provocative in this country. And so they go back to the playbook of twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. Let's get people terrified of Trump. Remember in twenty twenty, what did they say Trump? Everybody who died with COVID as a reason on their death certificate was basically we were told Trump murdered them. There are people that said that. There are people who said Trump murdered However, many people finally had COVID as a cause of death and their death certificate.
We had people saying that Trump staged an insurrection and a coup on January sixth. We've had people say all sorts of things, that he was collude with Russia in twenty sixteen. You know the routine, you know the drill. And so they say, let's go back to that. Let's get to that. The people that are in our audience, CNN says, aren't gonna be savvy enough to realize that what we're doing here is the same thing we've
done in the past. We're just gonna change it. In case they do think of it, We're just gonna tell them it's gonna be worse we're gonna tell them it's gonna be a little bit more dangerous than before because Trump's been there. Trump is, you know, kind of got the blueprint of how this whole presidency thing works. So we're just gonna we're gonna scare them into thinking, yeah, well we were trying to tell you before if it comes
up at all. But if it comes up, we can say, yeah, well we did tell you before, and yeah, well the country didn't collapse, but it could have if it wasn't for Biden, it could have. And this time Trump's gonna be worse. This time. Trump's gonna care less about the constitution. This time, Trump's gonna care less about any consequences. He knows it's his second term. Well I thought you told me he was going to be the autocrat, the dictator for life. Well, that
too will make up your mind. Does he either not care because he knows he's only got four years, or is he establising him establishing himself as the eternal king of this country? Make up your mind. But it doesn't matter. None of this matters because it's all designed to evoke fear. That's the point. It's not to give you any information it's not to give you anything of substance. It is to terrify you on an emotional level. And I know, I say you, but you're above their abilities anyway. So here
we go. I'm going I rewinded this thing. I guess I'm born in the I'm a child of the eighties. So I rewound it. And we're starting this clipover. This is Jake Tapper introducing this scary series of articles in The Atlantic. Listening Stark, starting in our twenty twenty four League Dark Morne issue of The Atlantic magazine Today, lays out a detailed, compelling specifically,
what could happen if Donald Trump turns to the Oval office. Two dozen essays by Atlantic creditors outline how the threats to democracy will be bigger than ever before, potentially changing America forever. Some of those Atlantic editors and contributors join us now. Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor, let me start with you these essays. How Trump could carry out a revenge a retribution presidency, what might happen to NATO, How women could be targets, How Trump will get away with
it all this time? And an editors note, you write, the country survived the first Trump term though not without sustaining serious damage. A second term, if there is one, will be much worse. Tell me about why you decided to publish that's a sprawling account of what might happen. The impetus of this list to this. I think that people have normalized the possibility of Trump coming back to office. We get used to anything that's one of our
To the credit of human beings, we can get used to anything. And I think we're too accustomed to the idea that he's coming back. And I don't think people understand that that the Trump who comes back is going to be very different than the Trump we had the first time. And the Trump we had the first time culminating in January sixth was a pretty troubling phenomenon. But I think this time he is coming bent on revenge. David Frum has a
very excellent essay about that. He's coming with the idea of revenge. He knows how government works, he knows how he was thwarted the last time. He's not going to be hiring the so called grown ups to run the cabinet. You know, you remember Jamadis and Rex tillersoner John Kelly, all these establishment figures who were there to Bill Bill Barr to keep him in check.
No more people keeping him in check, right, and so you know it wouldn't be surprising, and is an expert on this, it wouldn't be surprising to find him pulling out of NATO and your say, focus is on NATO, which is the European aregra stuff? You get the idea. I'm not going to play that. That garbage goes on for I think fifth the clips five minutes, but I think that whole conversation, I believe is something like
fifteen minutes. You get the idea, timeouts in order, got some other They actually brought up some terms there that you've heard on this program in the past. I don't know if Jake Tapper listens in Jake, you need to take some notes, buddy, because you got a lot of work to do. But anyway, quick timeout is in order. All in good fun, my friends, but we need to be aware. We need to be aware of what we're up against. This is it. They are not masking themselves
anymore. They're actually showing us. The irony is so thick to me. They think they're coming all serious to the podium and that America is sitting there just with baited breath, waiting for them to tell us just how dangerous,
how serious is it Atlantic And they get all serious to the microphone. But in reality reality, as they step up to that microphone, what they're telling us is how dangerous they are, how dangerous, and how far they will go to deceive the American people into making or manipulating the American people into choosing what they want them to choose. Quick time. And this is what real interference looks like, by the way, which by the way, they can
say whatever they want, but it's not real. This is fake, this is made up, this is gender, this is not sincere. These are jokers and clowns and professional deceivers and sophists. That's what we're dealing with. Quick time. Out back in a minute, and welcome back, my friends. As I was perusing for show prep these past few days, I came across an article that said gold has reached an all time high. Gold has reached an all time high, and they expect gold to go even higher.
Did you know that gold has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dalla since nineteen seventy one? Important here, when the US took the dollar off the quote unquote gold standard. Have to ask yourself, is that a coincidence? When the US government allowed people to own money, excuse me gold again, they reclassified gold as a commodity rather than a paper currency backstop.
Even though the US itself hoards and holds the highest amount of physical gold in its reserves, all the countries, all the central banks, major institutions, and even the IMF, the International Monetary Fund owned substantial gold holdings. If all the entities that control fiat money paper money, money that's not backed by by gold, physical gold, if they have that gold, doesn't it make sense to consider owning gold yourself. My friends, you can do that by
contacting our friends at Harvard Gold Group. You can visit them at Harvard gooldgroup dot com. You can use promo code Todd my first name, and you'll get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit when placing an order there again Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. That's Harvardgoldgroup dot com. Use code Todd, promo code
Todd to get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit. So, as we discussed last segment, we have, of course panic on the left, and they're starting to use terms, they're starting to repeat things that I have said on this program, things that you know, in fact, the day Biden walked into office, I was gonna pull this sound bite, and I forget exactly which there's one or two phrases I used. I think I called it payback politics. The era of payback politics have begun retribution politics. So the
irony here is that we are currently in the period of political retribution. This is something I condemn one hundred percent. This is something I don't want Republicans to do. I don't want Trump to do. I want justice to be done. If it is just that the things that were done to Trump or to conservatives, if justice demands certain consequences, that I'm one hundred percent on
board with that. But I do not, I unequivocally refuse to support the idea that because they the left have a bu used the powers of government, that we should That's again, when we look at this impeachment situation, it's the same sort of thing I've said before. Obviously, Congress has a constitutional responsibility and a constitutional right to impeach the president of the United States, but
context matters. Just because Trump was impeached twice, by the way, doesn't mean that the starting point is that we need to by definition, just automatically impeach the next president if it's not a Republican, that is going to cause more harm on this nation than necessary, and arguably it could cause more harm to this nation than she can survive. But context matters. Context matters.
So if you have people running the government who are corrupt, which we do, let's just say, let's just say, for the sake of discussion, say that we have a group of people that are actively trying to weaponize the Department of Justice, as I think we do, which basically means they are doing precisely what precisely what should not be done with government. The most terrifying use of government when one political party gets control of government, they use it
to go after their political enemies on the other side. That is, folks, we are nearing the day of death for the Republic if that is in fact where we are. But let's say, let's say one side is actively using the government to do that, and then the other side comes in and there's objective evidence that that's what the previous folks in the government were doing.
There should be consequences for that. But we shouldn't then use the government to say, Okay, let's just go after anyone who didn't like us last time, right, And that's it. It's like a pendulum swinging back and forth, except for this pendulum. You know, eventually, if you just release a pendulum and let it go, it will eventually lose this momentum and subtle at a complete stop. This one is picking up momentum. It's being pushed
by the powers on one side. It's being shoved, and then when it blasts into the people on the other side, they say, oh yeah, well what about this, and they push it further. So instead of it settling at an equilibrium, it's actually going further and further. It's more like a wrecking mall than it is a pendulum. And so that's what's happening, and that that is what is happening in the in this government. But they
are the ones that are doing this. It's not that they are warning us that Trump might They are actually by by virtue of how they are going after Trump. They are the ones that are doing this. They have weaponized, clearly, they have weaponized the Department of Justice. Clearly, they have used the government to insulate and for tech the Biden administration and the Obama administration when
President Bribery was then Vice President Bribery. Did you see that Joe Biden used alias emails to send three hundred I forget the number, three hundred and fifty, three hundred and sixty some odd emails to one of Hunter's business associates over nine years and email alias, right, So they didn't He didn't want you to know who it was coming from. Tried to throw people off the trail. When you do the math, it's almost an email a week. It's
really it's three emails a month, basically three out of four weeks. He was emailing over nine years, just on average. I'm not saying that that's how. If you look at it wasn't every week on the dot, you know on the dot. And there's emails that were going between Joe Biden and Hunter's business associate when Joe Biden was in Ukraine, when Joe Biden was throwing down verbally threatening Ukraine to withhold funding if they didn't get rid of the prosecutor
that was going after Bearisma. Of course Hunter was involved with Bearisma, and there's plenty of reason to see that. There's lots of evidence of corruption here, lots of evidence of corruption, paid to play sort of stuff. Now, if there wasn't evidence of any of this, you would not hear me arguing for impeachment. But there is evidence, there is evidence. Now we're going to be accused of targeting Biden for political retribution because they impeached Trump.
They're going to say that we're weaponizing the government. Whatever. Context matters. Context matters, and there's a rationale, a reason. I just laid it out. It's pretty clear. It's pretty straightforward for anyone who wants to be objective about it. In fact, one of the things I've got I don't have time to do it is I was looking and comparing and contrasting Trump's first impeachment, Trump's second impeachment, and then what might might be happening here with
Biden. And the difference is stark, my friends, as Jake Tapper would say, stark differences. Oh my goodness, there's such dramatic. There are dramatic differences here. Though, timeouts in order a little bit long this segments. It's tight, my friends. When we get back, I want to talk. I told you this is December seventh. This is Pearl Harbor Day, a day that the Left compares to January sixth, which is absolutely atrocious.
It's not laughable because the American lives were lost on Pearl Harbor and it started World War Two, which ultimately ended in US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in nineteen forty five. And anyhow, I want to talk about that today, as we normally do on December seventh. Quick time about my friends back here in just a minute, welcome back to my friends. Today
is December seventh, December seventh, twenty twenty three. On December seventh, nineteen forty one, America was officially well because of the acts taken on that day, America officially entered World War Two. America had been you could say, begged by Winston Churchill to join the war for some time, as Hitler was on a rampage in Europe, but America stayed out for a good reason.
I mean, look, it's complicated. Obviously, you want to when you understand and come to grips with the fact that Hitler wanted to truly rule the world through his maniacal regime, of course you would want to stop that. But it's understandable too that America had just gone through World War One. It was not some thing America wanted to get back into. They didn't want
to be fighting Europe's wars. There's some I mean, we should at least understand that it's a good thing to try to avoid war at all costs. But Churchill was pleading with America to enter FDR would not and until December seventh. December seventh, nineteen forty one. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I don't know if you've had the opportunity to go there. I did visit Pearl Harbor
twenty some years ago, and it's surreal in a sense. You can, of course see the USS Arizona directly beneath the memorial, not very far where there are still well where American soldiers lost their lives, where there are still what became their their grave, and you can still see oil coming to the surface from the ship. And it's, you know, I don't know what I was expecting when I went there, but it's I think it's smaller than
I had anticipated. The body of water. It's and when you see it and you see pictures of you know, overhead of the of the harbor where the ships were located and stuff. During that particular day or you know, time, you can see how the plan was to Basically, the Japanese plan was to blow the ships up, so especially those that were by the entrance and exit of the harbor, so that they had nowhere to go. And it was basically like I mean, shooting fish in a barrel. They had
nowhere to go. They of course, the Americans fought back valiantly and everything else. But to compare that again today, I'm normally we talk about that and how that led to World War to the American involvement the South Pacific, and everything eventually led to the atomic bombs being dropped at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But to compare that to January sixth, twenty twenty one is amongst the most deceptive, manipulative, ridiculous comparisons that I can think of. Today's December seventh,
nineteen forty one. Let's remember those who valiantly fought and defended this country, giving their lives ultimately at Pearl Harbor. Quick time out my friends back in a minute. Welcome back to my friends. So I mentioned I alluded to Pearl harbor Day. Last segment, we talked about it, but this again. When America entered the war, she fought through well two fronts,
the European theater and the Pacific theater. And this led I mentioned to World War Two, whose well to fight in Japan dropping the atomic bombs, which was a terrible decision, but the calculations that were made as Americans were island jumping regaining the territory that had been taken over by the Japanese, the losses, the casualties that would have been inflicted upon the American forces were astronomically high, and so they made the very very tough decision too that it was a
better strategy to drop those weapons. Years later. Anyway, today's for Harbord. They gotta go friends. STG.
