Eric Trump joins Todd to talk about his new book Under Siege and what it’s really like inside the nonstop barrage against his family. Todd also addresses an allegation from yesterday’s interview and corrects the record on a misquote about Charlie Kirk, then lays out a rapid-fire list of the most persistent myths about Trump and conservatives—from “34 felonies” to “very fine people.” It’s a candid look at media narratives, character attacks, and why context matters. If you’ve wondered how the Trumps keep pushing forward—and what Eric thinks must happen next for America—this conversation delivers clarity, urgency, and plenty to chew on. Plus: how to get the book and where to catch the full interview and transcript.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
That is right, my friends. You've tuned in ever so
successfully and wisely to today's program, The Todd Huff Show,
Conservative not Bitter Talk and Education. My friends, I am
the benevolent dictator here behind the microphone, just kidding, having
a little bit of fun with that. But friends, it's
good to be here today. Two things today that I
(00:57):
want to get to. First, this first segment, I want
to address something that came up that honestly slipped underneath
my radar yesterday during our interview with Shelby Campbell, who's
running for Congress in Michigan's thirteenth district, and it's got
me to thinking about just all. She made a comment
(01:19):
that I didn't know what she was talking about, and
I'll explain when we get to it. So I want
to talk about that, and then in the second segment,
it kind of segues nicely because we're going to talk
about some of these things that are false about conservatives,
things that are false about Trump, and we're going to
have Eric Trump on. He's written a book that's going
(01:42):
to be released here in about a week called Under Siege,
and so he's going to talk about some of those
things and I'm looking forward to that. You'll want to
stick around for that as well, my friends. Let's be honest, though,

Speaker 2 (02:52):
So, yesterday in during my interview with Shelby Campbell, which
you can listen to on the website or wherever you
listen to podcasts. If you missed it, you can also
get that. Every day we send out a daily Truth email.
If you want to sign up, you can receive it
that way as well. There's other things in there, but
(03:13):
there's a link to the show Todd haveshow dot com
slash Truth if you want to sign up for that.
It's free. But yesterday in the interview, Shelby said something
that I didn't catch until after the fact. In fact,
I didn't catch it until someone commented on it on
(03:35):
a clip that I had posted on social media. She
had made a comment that Charlie Kirk on stage referred
to an Asian person in the audience as a and
I'm gonna spell it, because you know how it is
today as a c chi n K. That's what she said. Now,
(03:57):
I'm going to say a couple things I heard her
say that. In fact, if you watch the clip, you
can see me nodding as I'm trying to fall not
in agreement with because I didn't even know what she
was talking about. I was nodding and trying to follow
what she was saying in this particular portion of our interview.
(04:20):
And here's the problem. So two things number one. Number one,
during an interview on this program, one thing it's never
going to be is a screaming fest on this show.
In fact, I want to give look, I look at
this a little bit differently. I want to give people
the opportunity to truly say what they think and listen.
(04:40):
I understand that that opens us up to political opportunists,
to people who take that bully pulpit and try to
run with it. I'm going to ask follow up questions.
I'm not going to let them go on and just
on and on and on without interjecting at some point.
But I also don't want to interrupt. That's one of
the things that I don't lie about the way that
(05:01):
most people do interviews is that there's interruption and then
there's shouting over each I don't wanna say most, but
there's a lot of that out there. I find that
completely unnecessary, and I don't enjoy that I don't enjoy
that at all. Some people might, and you can let
me know if you want me to scream over people.
I'm just I'm not gonna do it. In fact, if
(05:24):
you remember, at the end of the interview, which was
at the end of the first segment, I invited her
to stay to continue into the second segment, which I
would have asked some follow up questions. I don't know
if I caught that and would have remembered that. But
there were some other things that I wanted to ask
her about, and there were things that I just didn't
get the chance to because again the format of this
(05:44):
of this program, and that's why I try to use
the time after the interview to expound upon the things
that I had issue with that she said, which I
did some of that, but I didn't catch this. And
here's the problem. Here's the problem. I have watched enough
of Charlie Kirk's videos, debates and so forth to know
(06:06):
to have a pretty good idea the type of man
that he was. So when someone attacks Charlie Kirk's character,
I immediately think this probably can't be accurate. There probably
has to be an explanation for this. I just don't
know what it is at the time, because I don't
know what they're even talking about. I knew in my
(06:30):
head as she said that that there was an explanation,
either it was made up altogether or some I just
didn't know. I didn't know that particular allegation that existed
out there. I've shared some of the allegations made against
Charlie Kirk, and we've talked about some of those since
since the since his death that that have come up
(06:54):
here on this program, but I didn't know about that one.
So just in general, you know, if you have a
friend or someone that you've gotten to know a little
bit or closely, especially closely, and I didn't know Charlie Kirk.
I don't mean it like that, but you when you
have people that you follow and listen to and you
get to see a little bit about their character, you know,
(07:19):
that's if someone makes an allegation, especially against a close
friend of yours, and you know that to be contrary
to what you've seen from them over the course of years,
you would immediately feel like, listen, listen, that's not the
person I know. But you'd also say, I listen, I
don't know everything a person does. We're all fallible, we
all could slip up. There's probably chances are a good
(07:41):
explanation for what you're saying. Maybe you're just chasing rumors,
spreading lies. I mean, I don't know's there's a bazillion
possible explanations, but you don't You can't specifically respond because
it's it's the first time you've heard of it, and
you weren't there, and you know that ninety nine percent,
(08:02):
you're ninety nine percent certain that the person it didn't
do what they've said, but you can't specifically respond. And
that's the problem. That's one of the problems that we
have in dealing with the left. And it's really again,
I think a great again. I didn't plan this, but
kind of a natural segue into what Eric Trump is
(08:24):
going to talk about in his book Under Siege, where
he's going to talk about these attacks, the books about
those attacks that he and his family have endured. And
this is by design, right, this is by design. Now,
there are people out there in the rank and file
that will eat this stuff up and swallow a hole
and everything else. But the truth of the matter is,
(08:47):
the truth of the matter is is that this sort
of attack, this ad hominem sort of attack is what
is planned, and it is often executed in such a
way that it is a effective you know, you attack
the character, the integrity of the person. You make allegations
that really none of us can at some level. If
(09:09):
someone says, Charlie Kirk told them in a private conversation
something I can say that sounds preposterous, that sounds bogus,
That doesn't align with anything that I know about him.
But what else can I say about that? I can say,
you got to prove it, You got to demonstrate it.
You got to have some evidence for this, you know.
And I go back to I think about biblical passages
(09:29):
on these things. Right, there were crimes in the Old
Testament that required wisely to witnesses, right, And there's a
passage in I think the Book of Proverbs, and I'm
paraphrasing here, but it basically says, the first to present
their case in court sounds right until the defense speaks right.
(09:52):
And you think, oh, well, maybe there's explanations for these things.
But they don't want that, they don't want context, they
don't want to have any understanding of nuance. They do
this intentionally. They target and go after the people who
are leading the movement. And there is no person that's
leading this movement or a movement that they are afraid
(10:13):
of more than President Donald J. Trump. And so they
know that if they attack his character, if they malign him.
And then they look at people, man, I thought you
were a good person, How can you How can you
support a guy that did this, that and the other? Right?
And then then and then they start listing things, but
they create a list that so long it's humanly impossible
(10:35):
to respond to everything. In fact, that's that's the design
they want you to They want you to think, right.
I remember in Trump's first term. I haven't seen this
in a second term. I'm sure it exists, but there
was a thing that kept track supposedly of Trump's lies,
and it would count. They would have some outrageous number
of lies. And I listen, I'm not going to say
that Trump is never told a lie, that anybody is
(10:56):
not ever toltal lie. That's not the point here. But
the point of what they're doing is to weaponize that.
They want to weaponize your integrity, the integrity of Americans
against them, and they want to come out with these
bombastic claims that say, well, the president lied three hundred
and eighty seven times, or whatever silly number it is,
(11:17):
and then you, in your mind know that there's no
way that you could even possibly address that. That is
by design. They don't want it about the content. They
don't want to go through this case by case. They
just want to say, gee, whiz Todd three hundred and
eighty seven, don't you think that there's something to it? Right?
It's it's similar to the fallacy that says what the
(11:39):
fallacy that's an appeal to authority, where you say, hey,
the experts say this. They don't make the case in
an argument, in a debate, they simply say the rationale.
The reason that I'm presenting this argument and I'm arguing
for this is because the experts told me, well, why
did the experts conclude that? What evidence did base their
(12:01):
conclusions upon? It turns out, my friends, these things matter
quite a bit, but they don't want to get into
the nuts and bolts. I want to go through some
of these, through some of these false and distorted narratives
about Trump, about conservatives, And this again is a segue
(12:22):
to this conversation we're gonna have with with Eric Trump.
But also ties in yesterday's conversation I had with Shelby
Campbell where she made the claim that Charlie Kirk said that,
which I said earlier from the debate stage, and he didn't.
You know what Charlie Kirk actually said. The clip is
when Charlie Kirk is talking with Jank Yuger of the
(12:43):
Young Turks and he says the word Jank, and she
says he's calling an Asian person a c chi and
k and that is not accurate. That's not accurate. So
this is this tactic. And I don't know if Shelby
knows this. I don't know if she just subscribes to
to a website, gets daily email alerts of the offensive
(13:04):
things said by people that she doesn't agree with that
she can talk about during podcast interviews. I don't know.
Maybe she knows he didn't say that. I listen. I
don't want to make I don't want to say that
about her, but it's possible she either knows or she
doesn't know. But either way she's talking about she's promoting
(13:24):
something that's false, and there's a whole lot more than
that that is false. It's being said about conservatives, about Trump,
most of these, I think all the ones I'm going
to listen to here are about Trump. I've put together
a couple lists. There might be one that's not Trump related,
but I think all of these are. So the first
is the thirty four felony convictions. This is something that's
(13:49):
said by people on the left, and again it's similar
to what I just said. They'll say, well, Todd, he's
got thirty four felony convictions. I mean, they can't all
be wrong. I mean, thirty three would you would you
know at what point would conviction number thirty five? Would
that have swayed you to believe this guy's troublemaker and
a criminal? But the truth is is that it's one
(14:11):
act of falsifying record that was charged thirty different times,
thirty four different times. So it's one crime. And by
the way, by the way, it's a misdemeanor. It's a
misdemeanor unless it can be tied to a too directly
to a criminal act. And so what they did was
(14:31):
the prosecution they said that this misdemeanor, one misdemeanor that
was on thirty four that they could charge thirty four
times thirty four sheets of paper, so to speak, They
said that that was designed to basically undermine our democracy
and interfere with elections because he was trying to silence
(14:54):
Stormy Daniels. And so they said that that would have
been a felony. That's the underlying felony that they're trying
to hide, and so the misdemeanor charge becomes a felony.
But the problem is they never charged or alleged legally
that a felony was committed. They didn't prove that in court.
They just stated it and here we are. It's completely bogus.
(15:18):
But they'll say that's the talking point is for the superficial.
The talking point is for those who lack understanding thirty
four felony convictions. But context and nuance and details about
that matter. Trump Russia collusion. The Moler Report found no
(15:38):
criminal conspiracy. They say that Trump told people to inject bleach.
He did not do that. He asked a question during
one of those press conferences during COVID. He didn't suggest
in injecting bleach. Some could say it might have been
a clumsy question or whatever, but again, he was asking
(16:00):
about things that could potentially be done to stop the
spread of the virus, and he told absolutely zero people
to inject bleach. But that's a common talking point. He
called immigrants rapists. That's that's what they say. They say
that Trump believes if you immigrated into this country, you're
a rapist. By the way, if you ask the average
(16:22):
leftist what they think about the average man, they'll tell you.
Some of them will tell you that all men are
rapists to some level, or most men just making stuff
up out of the clear blue sky. But Trump did
not call immigrants rapists. In fact, he said that some
illegal immigrants are good people, and they are I understand.
(16:44):
I made this clear. I understand why people would want
to come to this country. I don't understand from the
left's perspective why anybody would want to come to the
country that they say that we live in. The hell
hole that they describe this country. That's in the balance
because Trump is president and some of the ridiculous, atrocious
(17:05):
things they've said, I don't understand why people would want
to come to that country. But that's not the country,
fortunately we live in. That's the country they want for
their delusional worldview and their delusional brand of politics. Trump's
been accused of saying, well that there were very fine
people on both sides in the Charlottesville neo Nazi protests. However,
(17:30):
if you listen to the full clip, what Trump was
talking about, again nuanced in context matters. It absolutely does.
The underlying issue of that of what was happening in
Charlottesville was the fact that there were people who wanted
to take down Confederate statues, Confederate memorials and those that
(17:51):
did not. And Trump was saying there were good people
on both sides that brought in the neo Nazis. Trump
explicitly explicitly condemned the white supremacists, and he said in
that same exact clip, probably ten seconds later, they referring
to the white supremacists should be condemned totally. They say
(18:15):
that he's refused to denounce white supremacy. He's done this
countless times. I remember one interview where I think it
was Leslie Stall. I could be mistaken, but he said,
I've condemned it, I've condemned it. I'll condemn it again, right,
I'll condemn it again. I condemned white supremacy. He did this,
but it was never enough because they wanted the narrative.
(18:39):
They don't care about truth. They say he's tear gas
protesters for a photo op Inspector General's report that found
that Trump did not order that. They said Trump said
that COVID was a hoax. He never called the virus
a hoax. He said that the political reaction, the political
theater surrounding COVID was the hoax. They said that he
(19:00):
banned Muslims from coming into the country. He did not
do that. He targeted specific countries that were linked to
terrorism that are Muslim majority countries, but there were plenty
of Muslim majority countries that were not impacted by the
Muslim so called Muslim travel band. Trump what else here?
(19:24):
They said that he's called US soldiers suckers and losers.
That's an anonymous source. That's one of the favorite sources
for the radical left. Anonymous source, and it was denied
by over twenty named officials. So you got twenty people
with names. One of those I believe was John Bolton,
who's no fan of Trump. Twenty sources who actually gave
(19:48):
their name said that didn't happen. One anonymous source that did,
excuse me, said that it did. And suddenly the left,
of course, you know who the left believes. The one
anonymous source again Anonymous leaks, talking about Trump wanting the
new hurricanes. He also said he did say this, but again,
I just the left doesn't get humor, hyperbole, just they
(20:12):
don't want to when it's Trump speaking. Trump said that
he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they would
still support him. He was, of course exaggerating, expressing the
amount of loyalty people in America have toward him. And
he has a lot of loyalty because people have seen
him actually do what he said he's going to do,
(20:34):
as it pertains to border security, as it pertains to taxes,
as I mean, what has he done that he's not
said that he said he's not going to do? Or
what is he let me say it this way. What
does he promise that he's not done. Now, there's certainly
things that he said he's going to accomplish that he's
not gotten to, that he's not succeeded in yet, the
end of the Ukraine Russia War, that sort of stuff.
(20:55):
But the policies that he's pursuing are absolutely in line
with what he said he's going to do. You know,
the left wants to be literal when Trump's being figurative.
When Trump's being literally, they want to be figurative. They
just want to misrepresent what he says. And I could
(21:17):
go on and on and on about that, but I
don't have a lot of time to do that. My friends,
My pillow has a three and one sale, their biggest
three and one sale ever. They've got a limited edition product,

I glance at the clock here, I see I'm down
to just less than a minute before we take a break.
(22:21):
I'm just gonna stop here and say to you after
the break. After the break, Eric Trump will be calling
in and joining us. We'll be talking about his book
Under Siege. Looking forward to this kind of I guess
dovetailing and segueing with some of the things we've talked
about here, some of the attacks, the misrepresentations of truth,
(22:46):
the brutality of attacks that have been levied against Trump.
President Trump and his family will get into that on
the other side of the break. My friend, sit tight,
you're listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host,
Todd Huff Back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends.
(23:07):
Have the great honor. I told you last break that
we would be bringing on Eric Trump to the program,
and he's joining us by phone now. Eric is the
executive vice president of the Trump Organization. He needs no introduction,
but just to say it. He's the son of President
Donald J. Trump. He's also the author of a new
book that we're going to talk about here called Underseege,
(23:29):
My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation. Eric. Welcome to
the program, sir. How are you.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I'm doing well, my friend. It's great to be on.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, we've had some technical problems here. I think we
got them fixed there. So Eric, it's good to have
you here. So as someone that watches this from Afar,
your dad, your family, but your dad in particular has
a strength and a resolve that is inspirational to millions
of people. And I don't think the average American has
the slightest idea what that pressure feels like that he's
(24:01):
dealing with the attacks that he gets. So paying a
picture for us, what's it actually like for your father,
for you, for your family to live like as you
put it, under siege.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, you know it, Todd, Honestly, it's it's why I
fought by my father today. The guy's a total inspiration
in me. I was life working for him obviously you know,
in the company now you know, working alongside of him,
and obviously seeing him the government. But he's never cowered
anybody in his life. I mean, he went twenty sixteen
election and you know he just was honest. There's a
furnished honesty that my father had. He didn't poltically correct.
(24:37):
You know, he wasn't one of these candidates. So you
see every single day that down bites in a mirror
over and over. You know that they come across as
in authentic and to read write through them. People loved him.
I mean he was he went out there, he politically incorrect,
He said what was on everybody's mind were in the
mainstream media. He didn't coward to so, you know, he
said what was in his and people adored him or that,
(25:00):
and it's by you know, we found ourselves under siege
right act us the way they did. You know, he
certainly does. He flicked the horness nest over and over
and over and it's one of the reasons that lashed
out the way they did.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
So can you give us and I mean from looking
at this from a distance, that's exactly what this looks
like as well. They I think they're afraid. They're afraid
of what he does, what he stands for. They built
this bureau bureaucratic state. He stands in the way of
what they want to accomplish. I think that that's obvious.
Can you give me a quick breakdown of the kinds
(25:36):
of attacks that you have faced some of the things
you've talked about of the book, maybe some of the
things you didn't get to what what are some of
those things? If you were to summarize and give an
elevator speech and say, hey, this is what we're dealing with.
It just summarize that.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
You and your listeners would need about to eat a
twelve cople of you know, kind of relentless attacking. And
I think it's so, you know, the reason that kind
of Americans are sending a statement right the book under siege.
You know, my book just went to number one on
Amazon and in virtually every single category, it's lying off
the shelves. I mean, I think people, people have we
have all been deeply affected by it because while they
put our family, believe me, they were putting all of
(26:10):
us under siege. They're putting you under me, under siege.
They're putting everybody listening. But you know, I mean, let's
start by ta you know where where they intended to
a story my you know, my my father's married in
our entire family, by making up absolute slan you know.
Then they went to the Russia collusion, which was totally
god the guiding calls, saying that their secret servers in
(26:32):
the basement of communicating with the Kremlin, which isn't true,
paid for by by Hillary Clinton. Then they tried the
first time. Then they tried to impeach him the second time.
Then they went out poor justices. Then they weaponized every
and district attorney in the country, whether it's in Fulton
County Anny Willis and her boyfriend as you remember, or
is in in New York City. You know, it was
(26:55):
in Washington, d C. Or is Jack special counsel or
is Robert then off of Instagram and Facebook and Twitter,
the subpointed person in American history, you know, for doing
nothing wrong, as a guy who's never gotten so much
as a track, you know. Then they gag ordered him.
They put him courthouse across the nation, ninety one felon.
(27:17):
When that didn't work, they tried to take my father
off the ballot in Colorado, to take him off the ballot,
you know, in Maine. They went after us every single day.
Then they debank, they deplatformed us as a company. I
dealt with all of them. Of that worked. They tried
to kill my father on Butler the first time. Then
they tried to kill him eight weeks later at in
Palm Beach, Florida. Then they just tried to kill Charlie Kirk.
(27:39):
I mean go on for hours and hours and hours.
There's there's seasons of instances, but they did everything. They
just run my father, our family, you know, us, all
the people who believe in make America great again, all
the they're fighting for the American flag, our constitution, i'd
you know, freedom of religion, freedom, each family values, you know,
(28:02):
a military, not letting countries around the world take advantage
of not losing our economy and our entire way of
you know, to China, not seating the number one spot.
Couldn't handle the fact that we were fighting for right,
truth and good and we made them all irrelevant, media irrelevant,
We made the rhino politicians, we disrupted their little power
(28:26):
ecosystems couldn't stand it, which is why they came after
us so viciously.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, and you've summarized that very well because some of
those things I'd forgotten about, and I talk about this
stuff every single day. What do you wish that the haters?
You know, there are people that are just going to
hate you, your father, me, Conservatives. I mean, I'm called
I'm a tiny little guy here in Indiana. I'm called
atrocious things on social media all the time by the left.
(28:54):
You've seen infinitely worse than that. So not everybody is
going to be swayed. But what do you wish the
people that are just genuinely confused and misunderstand your father,
What do you wish that they understood more about him,
the man who's behind those headlines.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
First, I wish those people in this friends, or at
least the reasonable ones, right, because they don't reasonably wouldn't,
but at least the reasonable and the ones honestly, I
wish I read the book. I wish they read the
first half of the book, you know, and just with
an open of what was done and by who in
form and regardless of political ideology, you know, just think
(29:31):
it right, you know, read read Undersiege and tell me
whether you think that's right. Those games are right to
be played in the United States, and trying to imprison
people for no reason whatsoever, other you're willing to write
dirty dossier's you know that are just fictional, to try
and destroy people's character and lie surprised, to try and
(29:51):
influence elections again, subpoena people's family members over and over,
or we probably you know it's we probably spent four
hundred million family you know, protecting ourselves from vicious zero
truth to them. But you know, all because they wanted politically,
And my father is the greatest guy in the world.
(30:12):
I love him to death. He's a world I mean,
the guy is the one. I mean, I think, you
know what would I want people to understand. You know
that Donald Trump is the one person who didn't need this.
Barack Obama was a community organizer. Now the guy lives
in Martha's Vanyards, absolute fortune. Like Donald Trump does not
need this job. He does not. We needed this whole
thing like a hole in the head. We wanted to
(30:33):
go in there and save a con deeply in decline
by totally incompetent people, you know, including Joe Biden, who
couldn't get through a sentence without stuttering. An auto pen
that was working over time, probably directed by you know,
these lunatic woke twenty two year old staff or somewhere
in the White House furthering American agendas around the world.
(30:54):
It was insane to do this. He could have been
in mar Lago. He could have been enjoying life with
his grandkids. He could have every day. He could have
been running one of the biggest real estate business empires.
And yet he stepped into the line of fire to
save this nation. He was in a courthouse, every single
you know, on wooden pews, all because he loves his country.
Nothing out of this fight he's gotten, you know, and
(31:16):
in fact, the fights out of him and and and
I think people, you know, I would hope that you know,
our Republicans and Conservatives and and and and and moderately
intelligent people on I wish a lot of people on
the other side, you know, could could really Again, he's
doing this not for himself, He's doing this for a
betterment of a nation.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Love. Well, we appreciate what he's done, millions of people
appreciate what he's doing. What needs to happen next, not
just for you and we just have a couple of
minutes here, but for this country. Eric, what what's the
next step?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Well, you know what, everything that he's doing, and you know,
we have to be reved the world. We have to
remain the number one superpower of the world. We have
to remain the reserve currency, you know, we have to
remain the language of the world. And there are a
lot of bad actors out of harm done to us,
and we can't be used. We can't be you know,
the world's piggy bank. We have to mind our own
social business. But beyond that, I think on a domestic standard,
(32:15):
we have to restore family, we have to restore faith,
we have to restore, you know, society. We have to
stop the criminals. You know, I find it hugely ironic
that pretty people, when my father wants to go in
get rid of crime in Chicago or are pushing back
it when you've already seen how effective it can be
in Washington, d C. I me in Washington, DC, written
(32:35):
place to having zero crime in a twelve day period
of time after I rest seventeen. And so listen, we've
got to focus on our society. We've got to focus
on values. We've got to focus on fame. We've got
to make sure that the United States of America always
remains number one.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Absolutely. So you've written this book. Where can folks pick
it up?
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Eric?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
How can they get their hands on those?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
On Amazon? Everybody's buying it on Amazon. Let's end the
statement to the other side, to you, it will be
the best book you've read in a in a very
very very long time. Sending to your liberal cousin hopefully
has an open mind. I think it's going to open
a lot of minds and listen. I think it's going
to rubb a lot immediately, and they deserve to be
rubbed the wrong way. It's it's it's certainly going to
(33:17):
to raise eyebrows for for many exactly what needs to happen.
But I put my heart and soul into it. As
I said before, I went to number one and went
on Amazon and uh and send a statement to uh,
you know, to all the people on the radical left,
to all of us, every one of us listening to
this right now, and it's, uh, you know, it's it's
been an honor to work on it, and I put
(33:38):
my heart and soul into it, and I'm extremely proud
of it.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Well, we appreciate what you do. That's Eric Trump, of course,
son of President Trump, executive by vice president of the
Trump Organization, and of course author of this book. Underseas. Folks,
get that book at Amazon. We'll put a link on
the website as well. You're listening here to Conservative not
Better Talk. I'm your host, Tad Huff Back in just
a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Third and final segment.
(34:08):
I hope you enjoyed that conversation we just had with
Eric Trump. It was an odd listen I you know,
I go back and forth. Interviews like that are fantastic.
Those are great. But you know the reason I don't
have a lot. I just want you to know. I
want you to know that I'm genuinely reevaluating some things
(34:30):
in my mind, and I've made decisions to do more
of those interviews because I listen. When I started this program,
I wanted forget what I wanted. I thought it would
be good to have a place, you know. I just
wanted this to be different, right, I wanted this to
(34:52):
be different. I don't listen to a lot of other stuff.
I don't get into that fray. I'm friendly with anybody.
I don't want you to think, you know, I'll work
alongside of anybody pushing in the conservative direction. But I'm
not like coordinating or you know, anything like that. Maybe
(35:13):
I should, I don't. I don't know. Been asked in
the past to be a co host of another program.
It's just not I don't feel called to that. I
don't know how to be a co host. I don't
know how to sit behind this microphone and not talk
and having to defer to someone else. My personality is
going to be, Hey, let's figure out how to make
(35:33):
this show good, you know, to keep it from us
talking over each other, and it just changes the whole
dynamic for me. But having having interviews that are superficial,
that was that was not by the way we asked
him some questions he talked about. I mean, the depth
of what we're dealing with in this country, what the
(35:55):
President of the United States and his family have had
to endure, is absolutely reprehend And now they're asking, or
I should say, they're alleging that the problem is Trump.
Now they've always said the problem is Trump. Once they
realized they no longer they couldn't just laugh at him
when he ran in twenty fifteen, once they realized that
he was actually going to be a threat. I remember
(36:18):
when they laughed at Ann Coulter or the audience on
Bill mahershow when he said that when she said I
should say that Donald Trump was going to be the
nominee in twenty sixteen, they all laughed at her. They
made fun of Trump. I didn't know what to think
of Trump. I've shared this with you. I was a
quick adopter to Trump. I'm very quick. But when he
came down that escalator and my only frame of reference
(36:40):
for him was the was the Apprentice or just things
I had seen. You know, he would be on Oprah
as a kid. He was always out. Everyone knew who
Trump was. He had buildings, he had he was interviewed.
He was a big personality, and you know, he's New
York City. I'm I'm this you know, country boy or whatever.
It just I never had had problems. I just I
(37:03):
didn't know what to think about it. I thought, oh boy,
what is this all about. But after listening to just
a couple of his speeches, and then of course watching
him campaign and the things that he said, I was
an early adopter to that. I never understood the never trumpers.
And there's people who are conservatives today who have big audiences.
(37:23):
I don't understand. I don't understand how you can miss
it that bigly, as Trump would say. But anyway, this
I just it was a pleasure to have him on.
I enjoyed that. If you want to see more of
that sort of conversation dialogue with people, you know, I
will say this is Look, he's the son of the
(37:43):
President of the United States. There's not a lot of
people in that category, but people who are can contribute
to the discussion. Let me know that. I mean, we're
I'm genuinely trying to make this program as good as
possible and to reach as many people as possible. That's
a big deal to me. And so that's why we
had Shelby Campbell on yesterday. That was a much different
(38:05):
integratd I agree with Shelby, but I could certainly be
kind and accommodating to let her say whatever she was
trying to say. But anyway, love to know your thoughts
Todd at tod upshow dot com or you can text
three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty thoughts, questions, feedback,
all that sort of stuff I genuinely want to know.
(38:25):
And of course, the easiest way ultimately to stay in
the know and to be able to access and you know,
get that stuff right to me is is to sign
up for the email newsletter the Daily Truth todopshow dot
com slash truth, and there'll be a summary of this
that goes out today, there'll be the Todd Talk goes
out and it there'll be another article or other content
(38:48):
that goes out. Is totally free for you, but you
can respond right away. Hey. In fact, we've had that
from listen. Readers and listeners, Hey like this, think about
that sort of stuff that's going to continue to make
this program better. So I just want to say thank
you to Eric Trump, thank you to the Trump Organization
for President Trump for putting up with us. I know
(39:09):
some people don't want to hear that. I don't really care.
I can explain it when I have more time. I've
just got a minute here. But the reality is is
that they've endured a lot. They've endured a lot of
personal loss. Eric alluded to this. His father didn't need
this job. His father didn't leave Washington, d c. Wealthier
(39:29):
than he came in. In fact, he took it on
the chin in the first term. That's not the case
for these other politicians. So I just enjoyed that. I
hope you did as well. Friends, think about this. Investments
are like seeds that you plant. They grow, they multiply,
but are they bury the type of fruit that you
want them to bear? It for it financial they believe
(39:50):
our money should reflect our values. They specialize in wealth
management and biblically responsible investing. They screen out companies that
do not align with our That's all part of their
purpose centered financial planning helping you live a life of
meaning and purpose. If you want to see if your
investments align with your values or to what degree they do,
(40:11):
simply go to four eight financial dot com. That's four
eight financial dot com. They're here to worry about your money,
so you do not have to. So, friends, that's all
the time that I have today. Again, I want to say,
get the book. If you've not gotten the book, I'll
put a link on our stack of stuff page today
if you want to do that, I will. Also it'll
(40:36):
have the link to the interview. If you want to listen,
there is something that you missed. I enjoyed it. Hope
you did too. Friends, thank you so much for listening.
Have a wonderful day. SDG.

but not bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That is right, my friends. You've tuned in ever so

Conservative not Bitter Talk and Education. My friends, I am
the benevolent dictator here behind the microphone, just kidding, having
a little bit of fun with that. But friends, it's
good to be here today. Two things today that I
(00:57):
want to get to. First, this first segment, I want
to address something that came up that honestly slipped underneath
my radar yesterday during our interview with Shelby Campbell, who's
running for Congress in Michigan's thirteenth district, and it's got
me to thinking about just all. She made a comment
(01:19):
that I didn't know what she was talking about, and
I'll explain when we get to it. So I want
to talk about that, and then in the second segment,
it kind of segues nicely because we're going to talk
about some of these things that are false about conservatives,
things that are false about Trump, and we're going to
have Eric Trump on. He's written a book that's going
(01:42):
to be released here in about a week called Under Siege,
and so he's going to talk about some of those
things and I'm looking forward to that. You'll want to
stick around for that as well, my friends. Let's be honest, though,
when your financial world starts getting a little more complicated,
you need more than one size fits all advice. That's

Speaker 3 (02:51):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So, yesterday in during my interview with Shelby Campbell, which
you can listen to on the website or wherever you
listen to podcasts. If you missed it, you can also
get that. Every day we send out a daily Truth email.
If you want to sign up, you can receive it
that way as well. There's other things in there, but
(03:13):
there's a link to the show Todd haveshow dot com
slash Truth if you want to sign up for that.
It's free. But yesterday in the interview, Shelby said something
that I didn't catch until after the fact. In fact,
I didn't catch it until someone commented on it on
(03:35):
a clip that I had posted on social media. She
had made a comment that Charlie Kirk on stage referred
to an Asian person in the audience as a and
I'm gonna spell it, because you know how it is
today as a c chi n K. That's what she said. Now,
(03:57):
I'm going to say a couple things I heard her
say that. In fact, if you watch the clip, you
can see me nodding as I'm trying to fall not
in agreement with because I didn't even know what she
was talking about. I was nodding and trying to follow
what she was saying in this particular portion of our interview.
(04:20):
And here's the problem. So two things number one. Number one,
during an interview on this program, one thing it's never
going to be is a screaming fest on this show.
In fact, I want to give look, I look at
this a little bit differently. I want to give people
the opportunity to truly say what they think and listen.
(04:40):
I understand that that opens us up to political opportunists,
to people who take that bully pulpit and try to
run with it. I'm going to ask follow up questions.
I'm not going to let them go on and just
on and on and on without interjecting at some point.
But I also don't want to interrupt. That's one of
the things that I don't lie about the way that
(05:01):
most people do interviews is that there's interruption and then
there's shouting over each I don't wanna say most, but
there's a lot of that out there. I find that
completely unnecessary, and I don't enjoy that I don't enjoy
that at all. Some people might, and you can let
me know if you want me to scream over people.
I'm just I'm not gonna do it. In fact, if
(05:24):
you remember, at the end of the interview, which was
at the end of the first segment, I invited her
to stay to continue into the second segment, which I
would have asked some follow up questions. I don't know
if I caught that and would have remembered that. But
there were some other things that I wanted to ask
her about, and there were things that I just didn't
get the chance to because again the format of this
(05:44):
of this program, and that's why I try to use
the time after the interview to expound upon the things
that I had issue with that she said, which I
did some of that, but I didn't catch this. And
here's the problem. Here's the problem. I have watched enough
of Charlie Kirk's videos, debates and so forth to know
(06:06):
to have a pretty good idea the type of man
that he was. So when someone attacks Charlie Kirk's character,
I immediately think this probably can't be accurate. There probably
has to be an explanation for this. I just don't
know what it is at the time, because I don't
know what they're even talking about. I knew in my
(06:30):
head as she said that that there was an explanation,
either it was made up altogether or some I just
didn't know. I didn't know that particular allegation that existed
out there. I've shared some of the allegations made against
Charlie Kirk, and we've talked about some of those since
since the since his death that that have come up
(06:54):
here on this program, but I didn't know about that one.
So just in general, you know, if you have a
friend or someone that you've gotten to know a little
bit or closely, especially closely, and I didn't know Charlie Kirk.
I don't mean it like that, but you when you
have people that you follow and listen to and you
get to see a little bit about their character, you know,
(07:19):
that's if someone makes an allegation, especially against a close
friend of yours, and you know that to be contrary
to what you've seen from them over the course of years,
you would immediately feel like, listen, listen, that's not the
person I know. But you'd also say, I listen, I
don't know everything a person does. We're all fallible, we
all could slip up. There's probably chances are a good
(07:41):
explanation for what you're saying. Maybe you're just chasing rumors,
spreading lies. I mean, I don't know's there's a bazillion
possible explanations, but you don't You can't specifically respond because
it's it's the first time you've heard of it, and
you weren't there, and you know that ninety nine percent,
(08:02):
you're ninety nine percent certain that the person it didn't
do what they've said, but you can't specifically respond. And
that's the problem. That's one of the problems that we
have in dealing with the left. And it's really again,
I think a great again. I didn't plan this, but
kind of a natural segue into what Eric Trump is
(08:24):
going to talk about in his book Under Siege, where
he's going to talk about these attacks, the books about
those attacks that he and his family have endured. And
this is by design, right, this is by design. Now,
there are people out there in the rank and file
that will eat this stuff up and swallow a hole
and everything else. But the truth of the matter is,
(08:47):
the truth of the matter is is that this sort
of attack, this ad hominem sort of attack is what
is planned, and it is often executed in such a
way that it is a effective you know, you attack
the character, the integrity of the person. You make allegations
that really none of us can at some level. If
(09:09):
someone says, Charlie Kirk told them in a private conversation
something I can say that sounds preposterous, that sounds bogus,
That doesn't align with anything that I know about him.
But what else can I say about that? I can say,
you got to prove it, You got to demonstrate it.
You got to have some evidence for this, you know.
And I go back to I think about biblical passages
(09:29):
on these things. Right, there were crimes in the Old
Testament that required wisely to witnesses, right, And there's a
passage in I think the Book of Proverbs, and I'm
paraphrasing here, but it basically says, the first to present
their case in court sounds right until the defense speaks right.
(09:52):
And you think, oh, well, maybe there's explanations for these things.
But they don't want that, they don't want context, they
don't want to have any understanding of nuance. They do
this intentionally. They target and go after the people who
are leading the movement. And there is no person that's
leading this movement or a movement that they are afraid
(10:13):
of more than President Donald J. Trump. And so they
know that if they attack his character, if they malign him.
And then they look at people, man, I thought you
were a good person, How can you How can you
support a guy that did this, that and the other? Right?
And then then and then they start listing things, but
they create a list that so long it's humanly impossible
(10:35):
to respond to everything. In fact, that's that's the design
they want you to They want you to think, right.
I remember in Trump's first term. I haven't seen this
in a second term. I'm sure it exists, but there
was a thing that kept track supposedly of Trump's lies,
and it would count. They would have some outrageous number
of lies. And I listen, I'm not going to say
that Trump is never told a lie, that anybody is
(10:56):
not ever toltal lie. That's not the point here. But
the point of what they're doing is to weaponize that.
They want to weaponize your integrity, the integrity of Americans
against them, and they want to come out with these
bombastic claims that say, well, the president lied three hundred
and eighty seven times, or whatever silly number it is,
(11:17):
and then you, in your mind know that there's no
way that you could even possibly address that. That is
by design. They don't want it about the content. They
don't want to go through this case by case. They
just want to say, gee, whiz Todd three hundred and
eighty seven, don't you think that there's something to it? Right?
It's it's similar to the fallacy that says what the
(11:39):
fallacy that's an appeal to authority, where you say, hey,
the experts say this. They don't make the case in
an argument, in a debate, they simply say the rationale.
The reason that I'm presenting this argument and I'm arguing
for this is because the experts told me, well, why
did the experts conclude that? What evidence did base their
(12:01):
conclusions upon? It turns out, my friends, these things matter
quite a bit, but they don't want to get into
the nuts and bolts. I want to go through some
of these, through some of these false and distorted narratives
about Trump, about conservatives, And this again is a segue
(12:22):
to this conversation we're gonna have with with Eric Trump.
But also ties in yesterday's conversation I had with Shelby
Campbell where she made the claim that Charlie Kirk said that,
which I said earlier from the debate stage, and he didn't.
You know what Charlie Kirk actually said. The clip is
when Charlie Kirk is talking with Jank Yuger of the
(12:43):
Young Turks and he says the word Jank, and she
says he's calling an Asian person a c chi and
k and that is not accurate. That's not accurate. So
this is this tactic. And I don't know if Shelby
knows this. I don't know if she just subscribes to
to a website, gets daily email alerts of the offensive
(13:04):
things said by people that she doesn't agree with that
she can talk about during podcast interviews. I don't know.
Maybe she knows he didn't say that. I listen. I
don't want to make I don't want to say that
about her, but it's possible she either knows or she
doesn't know. But either way she's talking about she's promoting
(13:24):
something that's false, and there's a whole lot more than
that that is false. It's being said about conservatives, about Trump,
most of these, I think all the ones I'm going
to listen to here are about Trump. I've put together
a couple lists. There might be one that's not Trump related,
but I think all of these are. So the first
is the thirty four felony convictions. This is something that's
(13:49):
said by people on the left, and again it's similar
to what I just said. They'll say, well, Todd, he's
got thirty four felony convictions. I mean, they can't all
be wrong. I mean, thirty three would you would you
know at what point would conviction number thirty five? Would
that have swayed you to believe this guy's troublemaker and
a criminal? But the truth is is that it's one
(14:11):
act of falsifying record that was charged thirty different times,
thirty four different times. So it's one crime. And by
the way, by the way, it's a misdemeanor. It's a
misdemeanor unless it can be tied to a too directly
to a criminal act. And so what they did was
(14:31):
the prosecution they said that this misdemeanor, one misdemeanor that
was on thirty four that they could charge thirty four
times thirty four sheets of paper, so to speak, They
said that that was designed to basically undermine our democracy
and interfere with elections because he was trying to silence
(14:54):
Stormy Daniels. And so they said that that would have
been a felony. That's the underlying felony that they're trying
to hide, and so the misdemeanor charge becomes a felony.
But the problem is they never charged or alleged legally
that a felony was committed. They didn't prove that in court.
They just stated it and here we are. It's completely bogus.
(15:18):
But they'll say that's the talking point is for the superficial.
The talking point is for those who lack understanding thirty
four felony convictions. But context and nuance and details about
that matter. Trump Russia collusion. The Moler Report found no
(15:38):
criminal conspiracy. They say that Trump told people to inject bleach.
He did not do that. He asked a question during
one of those press conferences during COVID. He didn't suggest
in injecting bleach. Some could say it might have been
a clumsy question or whatever, but again, he was asking
(16:00):
about things that could potentially be done to stop the
spread of the virus, and he told absolutely zero people
to inject bleach. But that's a common talking point. He
called immigrants rapists. That's that's what they say. They say
that Trump believes if you immigrated into this country, you're
a rapist. By the way, if you ask the average
(16:22):
leftist what they think about the average man, they'll tell you.
Some of them will tell you that all men are
rapists to some level, or most men just making stuff
up out of the clear blue sky. But Trump did
not call immigrants rapists. In fact, he said that some
illegal immigrants are good people, and they are I understand.
(16:44):
I made this clear. I understand why people would want
to come to this country. I don't understand from the
left's perspective why anybody would want to come to the
country that they say that we live in. The hell
hole that they describe this country. That's in the balance
because Trump is president and some of the ridiculous, atrocious
(17:05):
things they've said, I don't understand why people would want
to come to that country. But that's not the country,
fortunately we live in. That's the country they want for
their delusional worldview and their delusional brand of politics. Trump's
been accused of saying, well that there were very fine
people on both sides in the Charlottesville neo Nazi protests. However,
(17:30):
if you listen to the full clip, what Trump was
talking about, again nuanced in context matters. It absolutely does.
The underlying issue of that of what was happening in
Charlottesville was the fact that there were people who wanted
to take down Confederate statues, Confederate memorials and those that
(17:51):
did not. And Trump was saying there were good people
on both sides that brought in the neo Nazis. Trump
explicitly explicitly condemned the white supremacists, and he said in
that same exact clip, probably ten seconds later, they referring
to the white supremacists should be condemned totally. They say
(18:15):
that he's refused to denounce white supremacy. He's done this
countless times. I remember one interview where I think it
was Leslie Stall. I could be mistaken, but he said,
I've condemned it, I've condemned it. I'll condemn it again, right,
I'll condemn it again. I condemned white supremacy. He did this,
but it was never enough because they wanted the narrative.
(18:39):
They don't care about truth. They say he's tear gas
protesters for a photo op Inspector General's report that found
that Trump did not order that. They said Trump said
that COVID was a hoax. He never called the virus
a hoax. He said that the political reaction, the political
theater surrounding COVID was the hoax. They said that he
(19:00):
banned Muslims from coming into the country. He did not
do that. He targeted specific countries that were linked to
terrorism that are Muslim majority countries, but there were plenty
of Muslim majority countries that were not impacted by the
Muslim so called Muslim travel band. Trump what else here?
(19:24):
They said that he's called US soldiers suckers and losers.
That's an anonymous source. That's one of the favorite sources
for the radical left. Anonymous source, and it was denied
by over twenty named officials. So you got twenty people
with names. One of those I believe was John Bolton,
who's no fan of Trump. Twenty sources who actually gave
(19:48):
their name said that didn't happen. One anonymous source that did,
excuse me, said that it did. And suddenly the left,
of course, you know who the left believes. The one
anonymous source again Anonymous leaks, talking about Trump wanting the
new hurricanes. He also said he did say this, but again,
I just the left doesn't get humor, hyperbole, just they
(20:12):
don't want to when it's Trump speaking. Trump said that
he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they would
still support him. He was, of course exaggerating, expressing the
amount of loyalty people in America have toward him. And
he has a lot of loyalty because people have seen
him actually do what he said he's going to do,
(20:34):
as it pertains to border security, as it pertains to taxes,
as I mean, what has he done that he's not
said that he said he's not going to do? Or
what is he let me say it this way. What
does he promise that he's not done. Now, there's certainly
things that he said he's going to accomplish that he's
not gotten to, that he's not succeeded in yet, the
end of the Ukraine Russia War, that sort of stuff.
(20:55):
But the policies that he's pursuing are absolutely in line
with what he said he's going to do. You know,
the left wants to be literal when Trump's being figurative.
When Trump's being literally, they want to be figurative. They
just want to misrepresent what he says. And I could
(21:17):
go on and on and on about that, but I
don't have a lot of time to do that. My friends,

I glance at the clock here, I see I'm down
to just less than a minute before we take a break.
(22:21):
I'm just gonna stop here and say to you after
the break. After the break, Eric Trump will be calling
in and joining us. We'll be talking about his book
Under Siege. Looking forward to this kind of I guess
dovetailing and segueing with some of the things we've talked
about here, some of the attacks, the misrepresentations of truth,
(22:46):
the brutality of attacks that have been levied against Trump.
President Trump and his family will get into that on
the other side of the break. My friend, sit tight,
you're listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host,
Todd Huff Back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends.
(23:07):
Have the great honor. I told you last break that
we would be bringing on Eric Trump to the program,
and he's joining us by phone now. Eric is the
executive vice president of the Trump Organization. He needs no introduction,
but just to say it. He's the son of President
Donald J. Trump. He's also the author of a new
book that we're going to talk about here called Underseege,
(23:29):
My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation. Eric. Welcome to
the program, sir. How are you.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I'm doing well, my friend. It's great to be on.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, we've had some technical problems here. I think we
got them fixed there. So Eric, it's good to have
you here. So as someone that watches this from Afar,
your dad, your family, but your dad in particular has
a strength and a resolve that is inspirational to millions
of people. And I don't think the average American has
the slightest idea what that pressure feels like that he's
(24:01):
dealing with the attacks that he gets. So paying a
picture for us, what's it actually like for your father,
for you, for your family to live like as you
put it, under siege.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, you know it, Todd, Honestly, it's it's why I
fought by my father today. The guy's a total inspiration
in me. I was life working for him obviously you know,
in the company now you know, working alongside of him,
and obviously seeing him the government. But he's never cowered
anybody in his life. I mean, he went twenty sixteen
election and you know he just was honest. There's a
furnished honesty that my father had. He didn't poltically correct.
(24:37):
You know, he wasn't one of these candidates. So you
see every single day that down bites in a mirror
over and over. You know that they come across as
in authentic and to read write through them. People loved him.
I mean he was he went out there, he politically incorrect,
He said what was on everybody's mind were in the
mainstream media. He didn't coward to so, you know, he
said what was in his and people adored him or that,
(25:00):
and it's by you know, we found ourselves under siege
right act us the way they did. You know, he
certainly does. He flicked the horness nest over and over
and over and it's one of the reasons that lashed
out the way they did.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
So can you give us and I mean from looking
at this from a distance, that's exactly what this looks
like as well. They I think they're afraid. They're afraid
of what he does, what he stands for. They built
this bureau bureaucratic state. He stands in the way of
what they want to accomplish. I think that that's obvious.
Can you give me a quick breakdown of the kinds
(25:36):
of attacks that you have faced some of the things
you've talked about of the book, maybe some of the
things you didn't get to what what are some of
those things? If you were to summarize and give an
elevator speech and say, hey, this is what we're dealing with.
It just summarize that.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
You and your listeners would need about to eat a
twelve cople of you know, kind of relentless attacking. And
I think it's so, you know, the reason that kind
of Americans are sending a statement right the book under siege.
You know, my book just went to number one on
Amazon and in virtually every single category, it's lying off
the shelves. I mean, I think people, people have we
have all been deeply affected by it because while they
put our family, believe me, they were putting all of
(26:10):
us under siege. They're putting you under me, under siege.
They're putting everybody listening. But you know, I mean, let's
start by ta you know where where they intended to
a story my you know, my my father's married in
our entire family, by making up absolute slan you know.
Then they went to the Russia collusion, which was totally
god the guiding calls, saying that their secret servers in
(26:32):
the basement of communicating with the Kremlin, which isn't true,
paid for by by Hillary Clinton. Then they tried the
first time. Then they tried to impeach him the second time.
Then they went out poor justices. Then they weaponized every
and district attorney in the country, whether it's in Fulton
County Anny Willis and her boyfriend as you remember, or
is in in New York City. You know, it was
(26:55):
in Washington, d C. Or is Jack special counsel or
is Robert then off of Instagram and Facebook and Twitter,
the subpointed person in American history, you know, for doing
nothing wrong, as a guy who's never gotten so much
as a track, you know. Then they gag ordered him.
They put him courthouse across the nation, ninety one felon.
(27:17):
When that didn't work, they tried to take my father
off the ballot in Colorado, to take him off the ballot,
you know, in Maine. They went after us every single day.
Then they debank, they deplatformed us as a company. I
dealt with all of them. Of that worked. They tried
to kill my father on Butler the first time. Then
they tried to kill him eight weeks later at in
Palm Beach, Florida. Then they just tried to kill Charlie Kirk.
(27:39):
I mean go on for hours and hours and hours.
There's there's seasons of instances, but they did everything. They
just run my father, our family, you know, us, all
the people who believe in make America great again, all
the they're fighting for the American flag, our constitution, i'd
you know, freedom of religion, freedom, each family values, you know,
(28:02):
a military, not letting countries around the world take advantage
of not losing our economy and our entire way of
you know, to China, not seating the number one spot.
Couldn't handle the fact that we were fighting for right,
truth and good and we made them all irrelevant, media irrelevant,
We made the rhino politicians, we disrupted their little power
(28:26):
ecosystems couldn't stand it, which is why they came after
us so viciously.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, and you've summarized that very well because some of
those things I'd forgotten about, and I talk about this
stuff every single day. What do you wish that the haters?
You know, there are people that are just going to
hate you, your father, me, Conservatives. I mean, I'm called
I'm a tiny little guy here in Indiana. I'm called
atrocious things on social media all the time by the left.
(28:54):
You've seen infinitely worse than that. So not everybody is
going to be swayed. But what do you wish the
people that are just genuinely confused and misunderstand your father,
What do you wish that they understood more about him,
the man who's behind those headlines.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
First, I wish those people in this friends, or at
least the reasonable ones, right, because they don't reasonably wouldn't,
but at least the reasonable and the ones honestly, I
wish I read the book. I wish they read the
first half of the book, you know, and just with
an open of what was done and by who in
form and regardless of political ideology, you know, just think
(29:31):
it right, you know, read read Undersiege and tell me
whether you think that's right. Those games are right to
be played in the United States, and trying to imprison
people for no reason whatsoever, other you're willing to write
dirty dossier's you know that are just fictional, to try
and destroy people's character and lie surprised, to try and
(29:51):
influence elections again, subpoena people's family members over and over,
or we probably you know it's we probably spent four
hundred million family you know, protecting ourselves from vicious zero
truth to them. But you know, all because they wanted politically,
And my father is the greatest guy in the world.
(30:12):
I love him to death. He's a world I mean,
the guy is the one. I mean, I think, you
know what would I want people to understand. You know
that Donald Trump is the one person who didn't need this.
Barack Obama was a community organizer. Now the guy lives
in Martha's Vanyards, absolute fortune. Like Donald Trump does not
need this job. He does not. We needed this whole
thing like a hole in the head. We wanted to
(30:33):
go in there and save a con deeply in decline
by totally incompetent people, you know, including Joe Biden, who
couldn't get through a sentence without stuttering. An auto pen
that was working over time, probably directed by you know,
these lunatic woke twenty two year old staff or somewhere
in the White House furthering American agendas around the world.
(30:54):
It was insane to do this. He could have been
in mar Lago. He could have been enjoying life with
his grandkids. He could have every day. He could have
been running one of the biggest real estate business empires.
And yet he stepped into the line of fire to
save this nation. He was in a courthouse, every single
you know, on wooden pews, all because he loves his country.
Nothing out of this fight he's gotten, you know, and
(31:16):
in fact, the fights out of him and and and
I think people, you know, I would hope that you know,
our Republicans and Conservatives and and and and and moderately
intelligent people on I wish a lot of people on
the other side, you know, could could really Again, he's
doing this not for himself, He's doing this for a
betterment of a nation.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Love. Well, we appreciate what he's done, millions of people
appreciate what he's doing. What needs to happen next, not
just for you and we just have a couple of
minutes here, but for this country. Eric, what what's the
next step?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Well, you know what, everything that he's doing, and you know,
we have to be reved the world. We have to
remain the number one superpower of the world. We have
to remain the reserve currency, you know, we have to
remain the language of the world. And there are a
lot of bad actors out of harm done to us,
and we can't be used. We can't be you know,
the world's piggy bank. We have to mind our own
social business. But beyond that, I think on a domestic standard,
(32:15):
we have to restore family, we have to restore faith,
we have to restore, you know, society. We have to
stop the criminals. You know, I find it hugely ironic
that pretty people, when my father wants to go in
get rid of crime in Chicago or are pushing back
it when you've already seen how effective it can be
in Washington, d C. I me in Washington, DC, written
(32:35):
place to having zero crime in a twelve day period
of time after I rest seventeen. And so listen, we've
got to focus on our society. We've got to focus
on values. We've got to focus on fame. We've got
to make sure that the United States of America always
remains number one.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Absolutely. So you've written this book. Where can folks pick
it up?
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Eric?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
How can they get their hands on those?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
On Amazon? Everybody's buying it on Amazon. Let's end the
statement to the other side, to you, it will be
the best book you've read in a in a very
very very long time. Sending to your liberal cousin hopefully
has an open mind. I think it's going to open
a lot of minds and listen. I think it's going
to rubb a lot immediately, and they deserve to be
rubbed the wrong way. It's it's it's certainly going to
(33:17):
to raise eyebrows for for many exactly what needs to happen.
But I put my heart and soul into it. As
I said before, I went to number one and went
on Amazon and uh and send a statement to uh,
you know, to all the people on the radical left,
to all of us, every one of us listening to
this right now, and it's, uh, you know, it's it's
been an honor to work on it, and I put
(33:38):
my heart and soul into it, and I'm extremely proud
of it.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Well, we appreciate what you do. That's Eric Trump, of course,
son of President Trump, executive by vice president of the
Trump Organization, and of course author of this book. Underseas. Folks,
get that book at Amazon. We'll put a link on
the website as well. You're listening here to Conservative not
Better Talk. I'm your host, Tad Huff Back in just
a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Third and final segment.
(34:08):
I hope you enjoyed that conversation we just had with
Eric Trump. It was an odd listen I you know,
I go back and forth. Interviews like that are fantastic.
Those are great. But you know the reason I don't
have a lot. I just want you to know. I
want you to know that I'm genuinely reevaluating some things
(34:30):
in my mind, and I've made decisions to do more
of those interviews because I listen. When I started this program,
I wanted forget what I wanted. I thought it would
be good to have a place, you know. I just
wanted this to be different, right, I wanted this to
(34:52):
be different. I don't listen to a lot of other stuff.
I don't get into that fray. I'm friendly with anybody.
I don't want you to think, you know, I'll work
alongside of anybody pushing in the conservative direction. But I'm
not like coordinating or you know, anything like that. Maybe
(35:13):
I should, I don't. I don't know. Been asked in
the past to be a co host of another program.
It's just not I don't feel called to that. I
don't know how to be a co host. I don't
know how to sit behind this microphone and not talk
and having to defer to someone else. My personality is
going to be, Hey, let's figure out how to make
(35:33):
this show good, you know, to keep it from us
talking over each other, and it just changes the whole
dynamic for me. But having having interviews that are superficial,
that was that was not by the way we asked
him some questions he talked about. I mean, the depth
of what we're dealing with in this country, what the
(35:55):
President of the United States and his family have had
to endure, is absolutely reprehend And now they're asking, or
I should say, they're alleging that the problem is Trump.
Now they've always said the problem is Trump. Once they
realized they no longer they couldn't just laugh at him
when he ran in twenty fifteen, once they realized that
he was actually going to be a threat. I remember
(36:18):
when they laughed at Ann Coulter or the audience on
Bill mahershow when he said that when she said I
should say that Donald Trump was going to be the
nominee in twenty sixteen, they all laughed at her. They
made fun of Trump. I didn't know what to think
of Trump. I've shared this with you. I was a
quick adopter to Trump. I'm very quick. But when he
came down that escalator and my only frame of reference
(36:40):
for him was the was the Apprentice or just things
I had seen. You know, he would be on Oprah
as a kid. He was always out. Everyone knew who
Trump was. He had buildings, he had he was interviewed.
He was a big personality, and you know, he's New
York City. I'm I'm this you know, country boy or whatever.
It just I never had had problems. I just I
(37:03):
didn't know what to think about it. I thought, oh boy,
what is this all about. But after listening to just
a couple of his speeches, and then of course watching
him campaign and the things that he said, I was
an early adopter to that. I never understood the never trumpers.
And there's people who are conservatives today who have big audiences.
(37:23):
I don't understand. I don't understand how you can miss
it that bigly, as Trump would say. But anyway, this
I just it was a pleasure to have him on.
I enjoyed that. If you want to see more of
that sort of conversation dialogue with people, you know, I
will say this is Look, he's the son of the
(37:43):
President of the United States. There's not a lot of
people in that category, but people who are can contribute
to the discussion. Let me know that. I mean, we're
I'm genuinely trying to make this program as good as
possible and to reach as many people as possible. That's
a big deal to me. And so that's why we
had Shelby Campbell on yesterday. That was a much different
(38:05):
integratd I agree with Shelby, but I could certainly be
kind and accommodating to let her say whatever she was
trying to say. But anyway, love to know your thoughts
Todd at tod upshow dot com or you can text
three one seven two one zero twenty eight thirty thoughts, questions, feedback,
all that sort of stuff I genuinely want to know.
(38:25):
And of course, the easiest way ultimately to stay in
the know and to be able to access and you know,
get that stuff right to me is is to sign
up for the email newsletter the Daily Truth todopshow dot
com slash truth, and there'll be a summary of this
that goes out today, there'll be the Todd Talk goes
out and it there'll be another article or other content
(38:48):
that goes out. Is totally free for you, but you
can respond right away. Hey. In fact, we've had that
from listen. Readers and listeners, Hey like this, think about
that sort of stuff that's going to continue to make
this program better. So I just want to say thank
you to Eric Trump, thank you to the Trump Organization
for President Trump for putting up with us. I know
(39:09):
some people don't want to hear that. I don't really care.
I can explain it when I have more time. I've
just got a minute here. But the reality is is
that they've endured a lot. They've endured a lot of
personal loss. Eric alluded to this. His father didn't need
this job. His father didn't leave Washington, d c. Wealthier
(39:29):
than he came in. In fact, he took it on
the chin in the first term. That's not the case
for these other politicians. So I just enjoyed that. I
hope you did as well. Friends, think about this. Investments
are like seeds that you plant. They grow, they multiply,
but are they bury the type of fruit that you
want them to bear? It for it financial they believe
(39:50):
our money should reflect our values. They specialize in wealth
management and biblically responsible investing. They screen out companies that
do not align with our That's all part of their
purpose centered financial planning helping you live a life of
meaning and purpose. If you want to see if your
investments align with your values or to what degree they do,
(40:11):
simply go to four eight financial dot com. That's four
eight financial dot com. They're here to worry about your money,
so you do not have to. So, friends, that's all
the time that I have today. Again, I want to say,
get the book. If you've not gotten the book, I'll
put a link on our stack of stuff page today
if you want to do that, I will. Also it'll
(40:36):
have the link to the interview. If you want to listen,
there is something that you missed. I enjoyed it. Hope
you did too. Friends, thank you so much for listening.
Have a wonderful day. SDG.
