Speaker 1

Attention. You're listening to the top Huff radio show, America's home for conservative not bitter talk radio. The advised that 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 Tod Huff.

Speaker 2

My friends. The honeymoon as some people are describing it, which I gotta be honest, I don't like to call this the honeymoon phase because I am one who was you know, I studied this stuff in school, and the honeymoon phase is really the first one hundred days that someone is actually in office, the first one hundred days of their first term. It's traditionally that period of time where the media isn't so hard on the president. These days stopped they did, they stopped President Bush. Of course

Trump didn't have it. They were calling for Trump to be impeached. I think public calls for Trump's impeachment began on Trump's day number eleven. So but that typically and

traditionally what that stood for the honeymoon phase. But I guess you could say the honeymoon phase of her presidential campaign, which is where all this excitement is here, the giddiness the first woman, the first black woman to be president, the first the first South well, the first Asian American from you know, Indian and so forth, all these things, all these the choice of Tim Walls, all of these things leading to this excitement. I want to go through.

We've got some polling now, the first poll about Tim Walls that I have regarding what people's initial thoughts are about him, and I'll get to that, and that's going to lead to a lot about his record, which again, let me state unequivocally, there's no confusion here. Tim Walls is an extremist. Tim Walls is an extreme radical leftist.

Let me say this loudly for those in the back who think that people like me only want to criticize the radical left when they are female or minorities, when they're elon Omar or AOC or Ayana Presley or Jamal Bowman or Corey Bush who just lost in the primary in Missouri, let me tell you unequivocally that this old white guy is just as bad. Old the old white guy here is just as bad. It's about ideas always

with me. Those other things are they meet that it's good that America can get to the point where those things are not factoring in to one's choice of a candidate, race, ethnicity. But see now it's gone the other direction, where it's actually oftentimes the sole reason. I think I told you on this show. I had someone the other day that I ran into, someone that I like. She told me she voted in two thousand and eight. She said, I

voted for Obama. Her husband is a Maga Republican. Now I think I don't know if she votes, but she said that she voted for Obama in two thousand and eight because he was black. I said that's the reason, and she said, yeah, that was the reason. That's not good either. We don't want that. How about we vote for people based upon their ideas, their policies. I know that this sounds antiquated in this woke world that we live in, but this race is not about well, this

race is not about race. This race, this campaign is about the survival of this country. It's about two diametrically opposed worldview and ideas. It's about one that is rooted in the constitution and liberty and Western civilization today and Christian principles absolute truth, right and wrong. Good and evil.

The other worldview that's on display here tells us that little boys can be little girls, that there is no objective standard for reality or morality, that in fact, the moral law is now moral depravity, and moral moral de pravity is now something that we can call good. But they don't like to do that because that, of course makes it look like there are moral absolutes. But of course by stating there are no moral absolutes, they're making their own absolute claim to begin with. And on and

on this nonsense goes. We got a group that hates America, that loves I think that they love sin and evil. If I'm being candid, I think that they want to live their way. They don't like people around like me, like many of you, who believe in these things about true.

They believe them. They know it's accurate so deep down in their soul that they can't even stomach the idea of having to listen to it from someone like me, or from looking across the you know, out across a sea of people and think that person may that person may believe in truth. I can't. I can't deal with that. I want to run so far from that. The average leftist says that I want to shut anybody up from even saying the things that I am convicted of internally

on a very very well sometimes very dramatically. And so the radical left is a morally bankrupt worldview. It's a morally bankrupt group of people that have built their political ideology on morally depraved and bankrupt worldview. So Tim Walls is one of those individuals who's in that group. And he's an old white guy. So it's not just people who are not old white guys that think these things. It can be old white guys as well. Well. Bernie

Sanders thinks these things, another old white guy. So Tim Walls was the first initial I guess pull about him as a choice for Vice President Kamala Harris, and I want to talk about that, and I want to talk about some of these legitimate problems with Tim Walls. As the Democrat Party is ecstatic about all this excitement. Suddenly

they don't have a weekend at Bernie's candidate. They can be excited about actual some signs of life, even though these signs of life are probably troubling, I should say problematic. See how I combine those two words troubling and problematic to thinking people who use the actual thinking parts of their brains. They are excited because, again, the alternative was Joseph Robinette Bribery, who honestly couldn't put sentences together, coherent thoughts,

or anything else. So we'll get to that first and foremost here today. Before we do that, though, my friends, my Pillow has listened to your request. They're finally bringing you the most requested offer that they ever get. That's the Queen Size Premium My Pillow for only nineteen dollars and ninety eight cents. This pillow is made with their patented adjustable fill. It adjusts to your, to my exact individual needs regardless of how you sleep. I use one

of these pillows and I can attest to this. I like how easily I can adjust the fill. Again, I told you I got a big head, and if I sleep on my side, I got broad shoulders. So big head and broad shoulders means if you don't have a pillow that can be kind of built up to fit under there to hold that big melon head up, you're gonna have some neck problems in the morning. And this pillow prevents that. I love this pillow. It also has cooling technology mind does, and I love that as well.

the moment echo maybe half on and half off. That is a very weird sleeping position for Echo. Anyway, My pillow dot com slash Todd promo code Todd Oz turned to look. She didn't believe me. She is she's underneath the chair, Oz. I don't know what she's doing. That does not look comfortable. Anyway. Let's look here, you gov dot com what voters think about Tim Walls. This is David Montgomery Senia, a senior data journalist. This is what

he writes. Many registered voters had a positive reaction Tuesday to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris's choice of running mate Tim Walls. Thirty five percent of voters say Walls is either a good pick or the best possible pick Harris could have made. First of all, pause, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the vast majority of Democrats. Now, there are certainly some that knew who Tim Walls was, but there's a chunk of people that had no idea

who this guy was. I don't think there were enough people in the poll to be able to say with any degree of certainty, even if their worldview and their priorities for a political candidate are as messed up as the lefts are, I don't think there's enough of them that knew enough to say that this was the best possible pick that Harris could have made. So thirty five percent said it was a good pick, or even the

best possible pick she could have made. X teen percent say that it was a bad pick or the worst possible pick. Another thirty five percent aren't sure. So that let me say that is that to me? That should be the concerning part. To Democrats, thirty five percent aren't sure. So there's sixteen percent of them that just say it's a great candidate. I would say a tiny sliver of those are people that are in the radical left wing

of the party. They knew who this guy was, they understand what this guy believes, They like what he stands for, so they put him. They immediately are okay with him. In fact, they might even say he's the best possible pick. These are people who are sharing ideological perspective with the squad with AOC, with Rashida Talib, with Ayana Presley, with Jaya Paul from Washington. These are the radical leftist. This is not a lot of the Democrat Party, but they're

the loudest and they are I mean, the angriest. They hate this country, my friends. So there's another group of them in that thirty five percent who said, look, we don't really know this guy, but it doesn't matter because Kamala can do no wrong. She's a Democrat. She could have picked Humpty dumpty. We would have said this, this was a good pick because we're voting Kamala. So now we've got thirty five percent that fall into that bucket. You've got sixteen percent who would be me. I'm in

this sixteen percent. I didn't vote in this poll, but I would be in the pick in the group that said this was a bad pick or the worst possible pick. Now, normally I wouldn't go to extremes and say the worst possible pick, because I would think, pooh, there's people crazier than this out there, right. But if you look at the the finalists, and I'm saying this from a position, I think for Republicans, this actually is helpful to the Republican Party. I do. I think that this creates a

stark contrast between two obviously different Americas. Now again, you got a factor in that a lot of this campaign is going to be about race. They're going to try to recapture some of the magic from the two thousand and nine campaign. That's why I think Obama he's involved

in the campaign now. I think he's trying to do that, trying to use the race and gender of Kamala Harris, trying to paint her as a state's, a serious politician, a stateswoman, a stateswoman, and then use that the story, the story, the likability, the connectability of Tim Walls, which I think he does have. I think he's got that, and those are things that are lacking obviously Biden did not have charisma. Kamala does not have charisma. Kamala is

not liked. Kamala is unlikable. Ninety two percent of her staff would agree would agree with me. They quit working for her in her first four years. That's dramatically more than the average politician, the average person in the White House has to deal with. In fact, Trump's was only Trump's was twenty points lower than hers. It's like seventy two percent quit in the first four years anyway, So

Kamala is not likable. They're trying to recapture this, rekindle the magic of two thousand and eight by having race and gender, of course being up there, the superficial politics, identity politics, but also something that they think is that can connect with the American people. And so that's where Tim Walls has strategically been been chosen here. So I

would say I'm in the sixteen percent. And after seeing the list of finalists, if that, in fact was the list of finalists, which the list of finalists would have been Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, Tim Walls, I suppose maybe Andy Basheer, and you could possibly say Roy Cooper. Those are the ones that I saw under maybe maybe even poop Pete Boudhaje Edge was in that in those final discussions.

I don't know who made the final final list, but I'm gonna say for America, for the United States of America, and let's just say, let's just say I was forced to have a president Kamala Harris, who would I want who would be the least what I want to say, the least dangerous vice presidential running mate? And again, as though to whatever degree that this actually matters in real life, I would say that Tim Walls may be the worst pick, the most dangerous pick out of that group. I really believe.

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm I'm probably say seventy five to eighty percent sure. Pete Pete Buddhage Edge would be dangerous, you know. And you got to think about Josh Shapiro and Roy Cooper and Andy Basher, who sound more not like me, not like people like us, who believe in limited government, but they don't sound as radical. But then you think, if they pretend to be people who are reasonable, but then behind the scenes are full

fledged leftists and who are pushing this agenda? Is that dangerous? I don't know. But regardless, Tim Well, I know it's dangerous. But is it more dangerous than having an open an open leftist here as we have. I don't know, but Tim Walls is dangerous. So he's a bad pick and maybe the worst possible pick. But then there's thirty five percent who are not sure. And that's an indication to me. And there's several interpretations of this, but that's an interpreter

or a to me. I look at that and say, these are people who just don't have they don't know yet, they want to see. They're not just gonna start partying because a name is mentioned. They're not gonna feign outrage if it's the wrong pick, and they're not going to have some sort of a fake excitement ceremony if they really don't like the guy. They're really trying to figure out who this guy is. They don't know much about this guy. They haven't lived in Minnesota, they don't know

much about his record. And that's what I want to talk about here, is the program unfolds, because that's why this part of the process matters. Now it's been truncated this season that we can talk about this, but we should absolutely be vetting these people. Going back to the article here you go dot Com. Democrats in particular are enthusiastic about Waltz. Sixty one percent say he is a good or the best choice, two percent say bad or

the worst. There's still even with that, there's still what is that thirty seven percent of the people who don't know, they don't know what they think about him. More independents say it was a good or the best choice twenty nine percent than bad or the worst fifteen percent, but again there's large percentages of people who don't who don't know. Republicans have more negative views of the pick. Twelve percent say good or the best, thirty four percent say bad

or the worst. But again forty percent of Republicans aren't sure. There's just a swath of this country that says, look, we don't know enough about this guy, We don't know anything about him to really say one way or the other. And so that's what we're going to talk about today. We're going to continue to try to explain articulate just really who Tim Walls is. And so there's a piece

here where is this one? Five controversies about Governor Walls controversies surrounding vice presidential nominee Tim Walls, from DUI to COVID fraud. Now, this is at This is written by Chris Panolfo of at Foxnews Foxnews dot Com. Republicans will place these Tim Walls controversies under the microscope as the twenty twenty four campaign heats up. So I'm going to get into these. I'm going to get into another one pretty specifically, which I believe is listed in these five.

Let me make sure there may be one more. Yeah, so there's actually one more, one more that may be more of a problem than even this. And of course, by virtue of just now kind of starting the process of vetting the guy, there's going to be things that pop up on the list of things here that maybe we did not previously know. So I'm going to get to those in a moment before I do that. Though, my friends, you will see if you're watching me on the camera, I've actually got I didn't even plan it

this way. I have Hillbilly's Strong Gear T shirt on it says weak men create hard times that could be relevant to our conversation about Governor Tim Walls. And I've got a hat that says awake not woke. It's got an American flag on it, It's a camo hat. It looks like something Tim Walls could wear, But of course he wouldn't actually agree with the writing on this hat because he is woke, not awake. You can get a whole line of a whole series of products like this

at hillbillystronggear dot com. These T shirts, I like them a lot. They are soft, they are comfortable. I think they fit well. I think the style of the message that it's presented is clean. It's simple, it's not too dramatic or too extreme. The average person, I think could wear these sorts of things. There's a whole bunch of T shirts that are that are patriotic, that are designed to have messages that I think are rooted in truth, things that more Americans need to be aware of, accepting of.

You know, the the mission of this show is to help people hear and receive truth, my friends, and so I think a lot of these messages on these on these shirts are reflective of the truth. He'll billystronggear dot Com is where you can go to shop that line of merchandise Hillbillystrong Gear dot Com. So a couple of minutes. Here, I'm gonna go ahead and go through. I'm gonna go ahead and go through really quickly. The five potential controversies

of Tim Walls. Number one. Number one, there's a dui arrest from nineteen ninety five, So you could say, look, that's a long time ago. In fact, that's a year before I was. I graduated high school. But there is that issue that may come up. It was September twenty third, nineteen ninety five. Walls was a teacher in the home state, his home state of Nebraska. He was pulled over for going ninety six in a fifty five, and so there's

there's this potential controversy. Another one is, of course, what happened with the Black Lives Matter riots in his city. They let that city burn. In fact, yesterday I played a sound bite of his wife, the First Lady of Minnesota, saying, for the first few days, they left the windows open so that they could you get the smell, get that touchstone, that that physical marker of what was going on in their city. So they wanted to sit back and smell the burning tires. I suppose I think I saw Matt

Walsh actually say this sounds a lot. Like you know, the only thing that was missing here was the fiddle as Minneapolis burned. And that's there's some truth to that. There's actually a lot of truth to that. There were his response to COVID nineteen and the lockdowns. I mean this is he was a big fan of these heavy handed pandemic restrictions. As the article points out, lockdowns, mask mandates and the like. These things are all going to pop up on the radar. I gotta take a break here,

but those are the ones. There's two more, and then there's another problem which I want to get to as well, but I have to take a time out with my friends. You're listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one and only benevolent dictator behind the microphone. Here, back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Now you've heard me talk about on this program for

some time now. A product called Salty, a product that I take that's good for your heart, is clinically proven to lower cholesterol. But what we're doing today really quickly here as we're bringing in Crome Carmichael. He's the CEO of Salty and the very first customer fact, he's their longest and best customer as well. Crome, welcome to the program, sir, tell us a little bit about your product.

Speaker 3

Yeah, well, Todd, thanks so much for having me. And yes, I am our our I don't know that I'm our oldest customer at age seventy five, but I am certainly our longest taking customer. I've been taking our own product for twenty five years. And I did it because when we have found the original clinical trials and it did those studies, it showed that the average person who took our products all there clessterrawl, their overall cllesterol dropped seventeen percent.

And in my case, my bad cluster AWL dropped from one point thirty to eighty nine. And I was at the time I started. At the time I started, I was fifty years old. I've been taking it ever since and my bad clusterrawl has remained under ninety the entire time. And uh and also my blood pressure has been terrific.

My type rissalize has been excellent. And so what I have for the last for the last twenty five years is my blood pressure has been great, My cardiovaster system has been excellent, and I take zero prescription drugs, and for a person who's seventy five to take zero prescription drugs, that's a big deal. And I attribute I attribute some of that to I eat pretty well. I'm not going to say I'm a great eater because I do it a sweet too, and I do a pretty good amount

of exercise. But I do think that taking solty because we do have clinical trials that show that our active ingredient, which is an active agrisk called fea flaving, we extract to see a flavor from green key and we move it from a one percent concentration concentration in fresh green tea to a twenty two percent concentration and that's what

we put in our capsules h and it works. We've gotten We've gotten hundreds of emails from customers telling us that their class drawer is down and that their blood pressure is good and that SOULT has helped them us. And the other thing that Todd I think it's very important to understand is that heart disease takes twenty to thirty years to develop. Most people they don't know they have it until they have an advent like a stroke or heart attack, And so the earlier you start taking

care of yourself. The longer your heart will be in good shape, the longer your cardiovaster system, the longer you'll feel healthier. And so I would really encourage your listeners to try try sole Tea and they can do that by going to sole Tea dot com. That's s O L t e A dot com. If they want to, can check under the art science tab and that's where all the clinical trial information is. It will bore them to tears, but it's very detail. And then use the

code Todd at checkout. Use the code todd at checkout, and you get fifty percent off your initial shipment and then you'll get three bottles for the price of two on an ongoing basis on your subscription and solty always pays the freight. And so Todd, I just can't tell you how much I appreciate you letting me tell your audience about Salty and I hope, hope they'll give it a try.

Speaker 2

Well, Crome, I appreciate it. We need folks out there to stay healthy for lots of reasons, but one of those is to vote in these elections for the right folks. So but I appreciate it very much, my friend, and thank you for joining us here. This is Crome Carmichael, the CEO of Salty and Crome. I appreciate it, my friend.

Speaker 3

Thanks, thanks so much, Tott. I appreciate it, all right.

Speaker 2

Take care sir. All right, my friends, So a little

bit different. I know that's something you know, as we've, as we've grown, you know, we've I mean, we've we try to add sponsors and partners here that I think are a good fit for a chunk of our audience, and I do my best to try to explain what I like about the product or whatever it is, whether it's in my pillow, Salty soft gel or whatever it is, right and so, but it's so much better, Crome is you can tell seventy five and got the energy that I think a lot of heck, forty five year olds

would would like to have. So anyway, appreciate you letting him kind of explain that better than I could do. Salty dot Com promo code Todd will get you what you what he talked about there just a moment ago. So let's go back here to this list. Let's get back to this list of potential controversies, I would say, actual controversies that are going to come from Governor Tim Wallas. We've got the Dui arrest in ninety five I mentioned, we've got the Black Lives Matter riots, which we talked

about briefly. We've got the COVID nineteen lockdowns.

Speaker 1

You know.

Speaker 2

I remember I'm in Indiana, as you well know, and I remember there is there were a group of governors that we were kind of our state, my state was kind of a part of in responding to COVID nineteen, and it was Indiana and Ohio. I don't know was Kentucky. I think Kentucky might have been two Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, I think, Wisconsin and Minnesota. I think those were the ones.

I don't think Iowa was in that group because I remember thinking there were two Republican governors in the group, and one of them was, of course, our governor here, Eric Holcombe, who I mean, I have lots of problems with Governor Holcombe, not personally. I mean again, he's a moderate, he's a Rhino. He's a typical what I think has become the typical Indiana elected Republican, which is not a

good thing. Now that doesn't apply to everybody. I think that there's actually like I actually like Mike Braun, our current senator and hopefully soon to be governor here. You know that Micah Beckwit who's going to be lieutenant governor, Well he's running for lieutenant governor, should be the lieutenant governor here. He's been a guest host on our program. He's a friend of mine, and so I am. It's not all of them, but there's a lot of them.

But we were in this group. We were in this group of people, and I'm pretty sure Minnesota was in this group of people of states and kind of regionally responding to COVID and some of these people. Remember Gretchen Whitmer was one of them. She's in Michigan. She was a lunatic governor Pritzker of Illinois. Remember his something else that got me about these people, these governors or politicians. Holkom did this too Republican. He went down to Brown County.

There's apparently a governor's I don't know, residents or something down there, while the rest of the while the park was closed to everybody else. I have a problem with this. Don't be telling me you're a public servant. If you show up and you tell everybody else not to go, especially when it's a park and it's nature. Okay, let's say that we decided we needed to close the indoor venues, which I don't think we needed to, but let's just say that we did for a time. Okay, what's that

got to do with walking around the park. But yet then you go, and then we're told the hunker down, we're told to keep our distance. He's down there putting his arm around people as he's ordering a pizza in Brown County. This was posted to social media. They all did this. I shouldn't say that the vast majority of them did this. JB. Pritzker did the same thing in Illinois.

He gave his wife and daughter, I believe, kind of a heads up, Hey, we're going to be shutting things down or I forget the details, but basically they were going to get a horse, I believe, and they were allowed to do things. They were kind of at least given some insight information about what was coming, and I think maybe even given special privileges to go pick up a horse. And of course these people are always like, well,

it's because we had this to do. Well, what do you think the regular people in this country have to do we had. I just told you and a last hour, I told you a story about the deer out here. The other day, this road was closed, the road right in front of the house, and they're they're repairing this. I'm talking like they shut it down, and they were telling people you couldn't leave, And I'm thinking, what do you mean that we can't leave? Like you can't lock

people in their homes. Of course, I'm reminded about people like Tim Walls during the COVID nineteen and I think, well, maybe in fact they can do this, But the idea, the idea that these folks are better and a place of superiority over us. They always think about their entry and their needs and how they have special accommodations that need to be meant. These elected officials, these bureaucrats. What

about the rest of us. We have lives to live, we have businesses to run, we have jobs to get to, we have parents to check on, we have kids to get to sports and activities. They don't ever think about that. They don't care. But he was one of the worst. He was among the worst, especially in this area. In his response to COVID nineteen. There's also potential controversy regarding

pandemic relief fraud. Here's what the article says here. In addition to complaints over Waltz's pandemic era restrictions, Republicans have blamed the governor for lacks oversight of pandemic programs that cost millions of dollars to millions of tax payer dollars. I should say, federal prosecutors charged seventy people with defrauding the federal food programs that funded meals for kids during the pandemic out of the out of two hundred and

fifty million dollars on Walls's watch. So there's that potential controversy that's gonna come up. And then interference in police shooting case. Walls came under fire from the Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty earlier this year for his comments on a police shooting case handled by her office. Moriarty in June dropped the case against Minnesota state Trooper Ryan Landrigan, who was accused of or in the fatal shooting of

black motorist Ricky Cobb. The second and a press conference announcing her decision, she made remarks against Walls, saying he had been quote very active in inserting himself into the case and was conflicted since he controls the mini app excuse me, Minnesota State Patrol. So those are just some of the problems. There's another one as well. There's this issue with potential stolen valor, which I want to get to on the other side of the break, my friends,

but I've got to take that right now. You're listening to conservative not better talking to her. Who's Todd huff back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Final segment. I should tell you this is the final segment that I'm going to be hosting. I just realized this. I'm going to be hosting here for a few days. My family and I are going to visit I've shared this a few times. We're going to be visiting family in Minnesota, and we'll be gone tomorrow, Friday, and Monday, so I'll

be back on Tuesday. Chrish Dunham, my good friend from the Dallas, Texas area, will be filling in for us tomorrow and on Monday. And I know that if you haven't heard Chrish, you will love Chris. Incredibly intelligent guy, just a wonderful guy. Absolutely blessed to have him fill in when I'm unable to be here behind the microphone.

So got to get to one other thing, one other thing I want to get to here before we wrap up, and that is talking about this potential stolen valor situation with Governor Tim Walls, the now bright vice presidential pick for Kamala Harris. So I'll get to that here in just a moment, just a moment. But before I do that, let me remind you, my friends, if you smoke, if you vape, if you chew tobacco, and you are using nicotine products, then I'm here to introduce you to nick

Knack Naturals. This is a nicotine product. If you're not using nicotine, do not use this product. But if you are, and if you are looking for a cleaner form of nicotine that is naturally better than those alternatives that I mentioned.

So in the time we have remaining, I just want to announce or I guess, uh, wet your whistle a bit on this store. And you may have seen parts of this. You may have already

taken a deep dive into this. This is a post from the dossier written by Jordan Shacktel headline here stolen valor Tim Wall's launched political career on false claim as combat veteran in the War on Terror. VP candidate told public and media that he ran for office after fighting in Iraq. So I'm going to get to this as much as I can, as always is the case here, unless I make a mistake, which of course is almost

unheard of, but if I did. If I didn't make a mistake, you're going to find this article, along with other things that we talk about on the show, on our website, Todd hufshow dot com. Just go to the Stack of Stuff, which is again a hat tip to the late great Rush Limbaugh. But here's I'm I want to read a portion of this, and if you want to check out more of it, have at it. But here it is. The Tim Walls Stolen Valor story goes

back to the very beginning of his political career. From the onset of his foray international politics, Walls sold himself to the public and the media as a combat veteran of the global War on Terror, masking the reality that he quit the military to run for office and avoid

being deployed to Iraq. Thanks to some quality reporting, we know that the Minnesota governor who yesterday officially joined Kamala Harris's campaign for president as its VP on the ticket, quit the military in two thousand and five after learning that his battalion was about to be sent to Iraq. Walls spent his entire career in the Army National Guard learning to lead people into battle while excuse me, with training and his lone six month overseas deployment to Italy

provided at a taxpayer expense. He then retired when he learned he was going to be leading people into battle in Iraq, leaving Minnesota's one hundred twenty fifth filled Artillery Regiment high and dry for a career in politics. Again, I'm reading here from a piece written by Jordan Shacktel, But that's not what Tim Walls told the public when

he decided to run for public office. Upon abruptly leaving the military just months after leaving his battalion to go to a rock without him, he announced a run for Congress, and the dissembling about his service record began immediately. Instead of being honest about his early departure from the military, Walls told the media a much more heroic tale, one

that was entirely fictitious. This reminds me a bit of Carrie as Rush used to say, who served in Vietnam, And it reminds me a little bit of the journalist, the make believe journalist, Brian Williams, who made up stories again to make it sound more heroic. Now, I'm just telling you what's written here. I'm not an expert in all of this. I'm not here to criticize the service he actually did. I'm here to say this is relevant.

You can't be lying about these things and trying to steal the valor and the honor that would come from these sorts of deployments and being involved in military operations. And so forth. But I'm not going to be able to get into any more of this, but the groundwork has been laid here. You can go to the Stack of Stuff on the website at todhepshow dot com to read more. But I have to go, my friends, See you Tuesday, SDG
