Radio Show Hour 1 – 02/24/2025

[00:00:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. All right. Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans. Sam Bushman live on your radio. Hard-hitting news the network refused to use, no doubt, starts now. This, my fellow Americans, is the broadcast for February the 24th in the year of our Lord, 2025.

[00:00:43] This is Hour 1 of 2 and the goal always to protect life, liberty, and property, to promote God, family, and country, to reject revolution and lessons of Jesus' revolution, to follow the Prince of Peace, to reject war and stand for peace to the best of our ability. Of course, we have the natural God-given right of self-defense. Hey, man, we got a lot to do in the country, don't we? Welcome to the broadcast. Hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic.

Well, good morning to all and a happy new week for everybody. I don't know what the big, you know, is there big celebrations this week or not? I don't know. I mean, it seems like almost every week we've got something that is some contrived kind of commemoration, but I'm not aware of any this week.

[00:01:42] You don't want to just celebrate every day and just ignore everything that matters and just celebrate and party and spend your pocketbook into oblivion and then wonder what's wrong? You don't want to do that? Well, every day is a gift. Yes, it is. You know, we can choose each day our activities. It's just I was referring to some of these government-contrived special interest group-identified kind of whatever, whether it's a black or a gay or a gender thing.

[00:02:09] Well, we're still in Black History Month, my friend, if you want to know the truth, Eric. Is that February? I thought it was June. So February is when they're doing it. No, and June is Juneteenth, buddy. That's another whole deal. So what you do is you give a whole month to them, and then what you do is you find, you know, Kwanzaa and, you know, all these different days, and you add it up, but, you know, pretty soon you get a whole couple of months. You know, Kwanzaa truly, unequivocally, documentably is a completely fabricated everything. Oh, totally.

[00:02:39] There is not one thing on that that can be dated back or drawn back into the African origins. It's a complete fabrication of a racist kind of thing to approach. I mean, it's astounding. Well, like I say, everybody loves it. If you criticize it, you're just a bigot. You're a hater. You're evil. You're, you know, how dare you say that kind of stuff? I guess that just harkens back to my comments. Aren't there any special days we're celebrating right now?

[00:03:08] Because there's always some made-up, contrived something that is going to get us, you know. When I was a kid, now this is maybe a perverse view of myself, you know, I always wondered, you know, as a kid, you know, they have Mother's Day, they have Father's Day, how come they don't have Kids Day? And my mom used to tell me every day is Kids Day. You know, so, I mean, she was, you know, slam dunk, you know, on me. But the fact of the matter is. Every day you get up and watch cartoons and get indoctrinated with propaganda. It's great.

[00:03:36] We didn't have TVs when I was a kid, Sam. I mean, I'm not kidding you. Oh, well, you were the comic book generation then. No, no, I couldn't afford a comic book. A dime was way too much. You know, my day, and we talked, my wife and I talked about this. You and nine of your other buddies are supposed to put in a pen each and take turns reading it. Come on. Here's the deal. Every day when I was a kid, every day was out on the street making our own fun. We played ball in the street.

[00:04:03] We chased, I mean, grasshoppers if we had to. But there was always something that we had going. And my wife and I talk about this all the time as we drive around, you know, suburbia, America. It ain't the same now, buddy. Nobody on the street. Nobody comes outside. You can't go out there. You might get kidnapped by the drug cartels. Come on. Well, it's, you know, I think TV and now computer games have exacerbated even more so.

[00:04:30] But I just, I can't imagine living like that where you're cloistered in a little, you know, climate controlled environment where nothing happens but what you've contrived from computer generated something. You know, and I think, holy cow. Kids today just don't. And then we inject them. I mean, just a tragic thing. I mean, this is a side note. I may be running free base here. But another one bites the dust, you might say. A young man.

[00:05:01] A handsome young man. I don't mean to laugh. It's not funny. 17 years old. Just died last week. Heart failure. And there was a funeral that lasted Saturday. I mean, it was like holy Hannah. And, of course, it was a, they were, the family were COVID cowards completely to the core. Everybody got injected. And they are just utterly shocked that a 17-year-old. Yeah, CCJ is all I can say, doctor. Student athlete.

[00:05:30] This guy was a pitcher of fitness. And poof, gone. What a tragic loss. Yeah, CCJ, COVID con jab. That's all. Well, that's it. And I just got a text this morning from a good friend of mine that for some reason he still, I don't know, he still goes to this pharmacy. I mean, I can't imagine when you hear all of the contradictions that are noted on any advertisement for anything that's been FDA approved. But he had a big discussion with his pharmacist.

[00:05:59] And the pharmacist is all in completely top to bottom on how absolutely, unequivocally essential the COVID jab is even today. He says all the data supports everything. I mean, these are your professionals. These are your professionals. See, DEI has been affecting every profession. And this guy's older in his profession. But it's been around for decades. And I think the guy's completely incompetent.

[00:06:27] He will not look at what the actual data is. He says, oh, yeah, the science is all behind the COVID jab. He just doesn't want his whole career to be destroyed. That's the problem. Yeah, it's part of it, I guess. But I'm just astonished, absolutely astonished at the Bravo Sierra that seems to have overtaken America. And we're all doing it to ourselves, whether it's the Utah legislature destroying the liberty in Utah or whatever. I mean, there's legislatures all over the nation that are meeting.

[00:06:57] And fortunately, some of them are coming close to winding down. We've got some more weeks in Utah that we've got to hold our breath. But holy Hannah. I mean, and the most incompetent. What is our 60 days of abuse? Is that what it is every year? Utah's is a 45-day session. Oh, 45 days of abuse. Okay. But it goes straight through. And you just, by the end of the session, they're just running bills.

[00:07:26] They run hundreds through. And I can see maybe running hundreds through if they were, you know, repeating laws. But oh, no. I mean, we don't have enough laws now, buddy. We got, you know, if you've got to put five, six, seven, eight hundred more laws on the books. Every single year. Every year. Do the math. Ten years now. I mean, seven years. I'm just a simpleton. I'm kind of a redneck simpleton. And the Ten Commandments seems to cover the whole thing for me. I don't see how you can literally cause any problems with anybody if you don't violate it.

[00:07:56] If you keep all the Ten Commandments, you really can't harm anybody or anything. You're pretty self-governed, my friend. Well, here's the big deal with government. Really? What can you do harmful if you keep all the Ten Commandments? I agree. You're onto something here. But let me just tell you what. Most of the time, the agencies are looking for more revenue streams. Hey, we haven't taxed this yet. Yes, they are. But they don't need more revenue streams. What they need is less revenue. We need to chop off the funding for 90% of this stuff at all levels. I mean, they're out of control. Exactly.

[00:08:26] And every time the general government seems to back off a little bit, the state wants to just flex their muscles and fill in the gap with stronger state government as well. But we, the people, need to demand they stop, though. I mean, for example, Trump's hinted at abolishing the IRS. You should have 100 million Americans in the streets going, yes, indeed. Get it done yesterday, Donald. Right? Good move. You know, you say about the federal government backing off. I've never, never. I mean, there's talk about it now, but I've never seen them back off.

[00:08:57] My financial burden tax-wise has not been diminished at all. Oh, they back off for a second only to triple it later. They give you some semblance. For example, under the Trump administration first time, and they said they lowered some taxes for people, and they did. Well, I'll tell you, it didn't trickle down to me. Well, that's true. Well, hopefully it will now, though, because you've got Cash Patel as head of the FBI. And now the headline says,

[00:09:23] Dan Bongino to serve as deputy FBI director. He'll be working with newly appointed FBI director, Cash Patel, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Now, help me understand this, Doctor, because I'm just not smart enough to figure this stuff out. You've got Dan Bongino to serve as deputy FBI director, but then you've got Cash Patel as the FBI director.

[00:09:49] What's the difference between deputy FBI director and FBI director? Do we got to have all these positions in the first place? I know you're really on the subject. I mean, the FBI is flat-out unconstitutional. Why do we got to have a director and a deputy director? Well, you're right. I mean, we put in more layers of management. And, you know, it's a kind of a... I don't know. I don't know if you saw.

[00:10:15] This was probably 50 or 40 years ago where they have the more layers of management they put in until the happy, productive workers that were there to begin with have got to be let go because there's so much cost in the levels of management above them. Yeah, so you've got so many bureaucrats on the public dole that, you know... So, you know, I think Dan Bongino, we'll talk about him right after the pause. I think for the most part he's a good guy, but I just kind of wonder what's the value in having a deputy director and then a director?

[00:10:45] I think that'll make me the media director of the FBI, don't you think? I'm just saying. All right, Hank Tite, Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com, continues on your radio.

[00:12:57] All right, live and on your radio, ladies and gentlemen. So we're talking about Dan Bongino to serve as FBI Deputy Director. He's going to be working with Cash Patel, currently appointed FBI Director and Attorney General Pam Bondi. But I don't understand, what is the difference between a director and then a deputy director?

[00:13:26] Doctor, do you even know the difference there? Well, you know, I really don't. I mean, you know, they say that they've got this workload. And of course, what it really boils down to, here's a figurehead, maybe. And they got worker bees. I don't know. I mean, there's maybe some kind of bifurcation or some kind of segmenting of different workloads or something like that. But you're right. I mean, why does everybody have to have an assistant to the assistant to the assistant, you know? I don't know. I don't know.

[00:13:57] It is just bizarre to me. I don't know how to respond to it because a deputy director versus a director. So what does deputy even mean? Right? Like in the organizational structure of the FBI, the roles of the director and the deputy director are distinct, they say, doctor. Each with specific responsibilities. FBI director.

[00:14:27] Head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Responsible for overseeing all operations and activities of the agency. That's Kash Patel. The director sets agency policies, priorities, and strategic goals. Sounds like it's been shared. And ensuring that the FBI fulfills its, quote, mission to protect and defend the United States

[00:14:54] against many threats, upholding the laws of the country. Appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate, the deputy director serves a term of 10 years. Although this term can be extended and or it can be replaced through the political process. Now, I don't know why we would give that guy 10 years in the first place, but the director

[00:15:20] represents the FBI at the highest levels, including interactions with the president, Congress, and other international and domestic organizations. Okay? Deputy FBI director. Now, here's the difference there, doctor, just so you get this, you know, firm in your mind. Okay? He's the second in command at the FBI and assists the director in managing the agency.

[00:15:50] Often oversees the day-to-day operations of the FBI, implementing policies and directives the FBI, implementing the FBI, and the FBI. This role involves a significant amount of operational management, ensuring that all the departments within the FBI are coordinated and functioning efficiently.

[00:16:14] While the deputy director may fill in while the director is, well, when needed, well, their main focus is on internal administration, et cetera. In summary, the director is the top executive and the deputy director is his assistant. Okay. I don't really get all that. I mean, doesn't the director have several assistants in different capacities?

[00:16:42] And you just got an extra level of management here. I like Dan Bongino. I think he does a great job in many, many ways. I don't think he's perfect, but I think he's better than most. But I look at this and I go, take that guy out of the podcast world and make him the assistant to cash? I guess I just don't see the real power of value there, doctor. Why don't we just shut down? I thought we were going to shut down the FBI, scatter it to the winds and make a museum out of it because it's unconstitutional.

[00:17:07] Now we're hiring a director and a deputy director also, both high-profile people, taking Dan Bongino primarily away from his media role and cycling another media mogul into the administration. It's just interesting to me. And I'm not trying to be critical because, like I say, Dan's better than most. But what's going on and why is it all necessary? Well, it really isn't. Here's the deal. They'll say, well, Dan's more qualified because he was a secret servant assistant.

[00:17:34] But the point of the matter is, though, really bureaucracies feed themselves. And bureaucracies become more monolithic and layered and everything in their shape. It becomes kind of more entrenched constantly. And, you know, and this may segue to something else. I don't know. But, you know, Elon Musk's asking everybody to give a report on their activities. And, you know, it's kind of like everybody has an assistant to the assistant to the assistant

[00:18:03] until you get down to the somebody that's supposed to be doing something. And, again, we can't overemphasize the fact that the FBI has become something that's unequivocally unconstitutional, the festerings of a national police force. But the fact is they do self-perpetuate and they tend to expand.

[00:18:24] And I guess my guess is I haven't looked at it, but my guess is that this assistant director job has existed for years, probably decades. And there's probably many layers to this, you know, lateral to that. Are there other assistant kind of director kinds of things that they may all report to Dan? I don't know. I don't know. But the fact is bureaucrats are great at bureaucracies. Amen. Do you know when the FBI was started, Dr. Bradley?

[00:18:55] Oh, probably about 1920. I don't know. I haven't looked. July 26th, 1908, my friend, the FBI started. It was initially formed as a, quote, small group of special agents within the Department of Justice aimed at investigating specific types of crime.

[00:19:19] But over the years, it evolved into the FBI, a key government federal agency designed to deal with enforcement and intelligence. Okay. So let me get this right. Hold on. Let me understand this. From 1776 to 1908, we didn't even have one. Why do we need one? Well, and if you go back and read the Founding Fathers, they were very specific.

[00:19:45] They said these crimes are under the jurisdiction or umbrella, if you will, of the general government, whether you want to call it a federal government or, you know, some kind of a case. Okay, so a federal or a national government, which it's neither. But anyway, if there's – these crimes are specifically identified under that umbrella. And the list is tiny. Yeah, everything else is within the states. That's it. That's all toast, guys.

[00:20:12] I mean, you can't have a crime, a federal crime of defacing a federal national park sign. That isn't in the – it's just not in their list. You're not. And now – Well, national park sign is no different than the local business sign, which is no different than a state sign or a county sign or anything else. Sure, if you deface property, that's a discussion, but it's at the county or the state level at the most. It's not a federal crime, though. That's the bottom line.

[00:20:41] And we could go back and quote the Founding Fathers on this and say all crimes not identified within the Constitution are at the state level. And there's no – Yeah, or the county level, but yes. Yeah, well, the state – they're under the state jurisdiction. The county is a political subdivision of a state generally, okay?

[00:21:03] So anyway, it's not – we just created this metastasizing cancer that seems to – I agree 100%. So anyway, I'm just saying everybody's celebrating Kash Patel being there, and I support that. I supported Kash Patel. Dan Bongino, I think for the most part, is a pretty good guy compared to a lot of the people up there. But again, do we really need – if we're going to be downsizing and decreasing and defunding

[00:21:28] and the criminal FBI unconstitutional agents, do we really need a director and then a deputy director and then all – I just don't understand it. But if we're dismantling these things, we're sure putting a lot of people in high positions for dismantling. Well, you know, it's – when Trump called – what was it? The Secretary of Education, he says, I hope you work yourself out of a job. Maybe he's giving more people that kind of direction. I don't know.

[00:21:56] But sure would be nice if they really fulfilled it, wouldn't it? Well, I think he is. In fact, I think – I mean, I've been reading some things that President Trump has been doing, and a lot of it we don't really even hear about in the news, and a lot of it's behind the scenes, and a lot of it is really, really, really, really good work and good news, in my opinion. More of it than I had supposed. So got to give credit there. But then you get whacked out people like this. I don't mean to attack Steve Bannon, but headline says, War Room Steve Bannon.

[00:22:24] And then he says this, The future is MAGA. The future of MAGA is Donald Trump. We want Trump in 2028. That's what they can't stand, the liberals, anybody who's anti-MAGA. A man like Trump comes around only once or twice in the country's history.

[00:22:54] We want Trump. We want Trump, he says over and over. I couldn't disagree more. Now, don't get me wrong. I think Trump's doing a better job than most. He's done a lot of good. Probably more good than any president in my lifetime. I get it. But I am not backing changing the rules to give him a third term or whatever else. Number one, he'll be too old to serve, in my opinion. At some point, you got to understand the world can live without you. Everyone's replaceable. No one's indispensable.

[00:23:23] And this idea that we've got to have Donald. I mean, he's a George Washington-esque. And these people only come around once in a great while. And you've got to hold on to them as long as you can. I don't agree with any of this, Doctor. Well, you say changing the rules. I mean, we've got to be clear about this. This is not just changing a rule. It's changing the Constitution. Well, the law. It would take an amendment to the Constitution. And so the fact of the matter, though, is that George Washington was the indispensable man in so many ways.

[00:23:52] And he was essential to everything. But even he knew the truth. But he stepped out after eight years of his own volition. He was not a power monger. I don't support Donald Trump having three terms. I don't care if you say he got robbed the middle term or whatever else. Two terms, he's done. There's other people that can do the job. Donald Trump is not indispensable. And all I can tell you is I think Steve Bannon, I don't think he's right on this at all.

[00:24:22] Anyway, let's talk about the whacked out Wisconsin governor. This guy has lost his mind. The guy's name is Tony Evers. I just say, how do we get rid of this guy forever? Just saying. I mean, the guy's a nutcase. We'll talk about it. You're listening to Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomswisingson.com, and yours truly on the one and only Liberty Roundtable Live.

[00:24:43] That's the land. You're listening to Liberty News Radio. News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Rich Tomasa. A nationally known conservative commentator and former law enforcement officer is joining the Trump administration.

Bongino would serve under Cash Patel, who was sworn in Friday as FBI director and has signaled his intent to reshape the bureau. So, Bongino was born in New York City and was an NYPD officer before joining the Secret Service.

[00:25:40] He then went on to work for Fox News before leaving to start his own show. I'm Julie Walker. Federal workers facing a deadline this week.

[00:29:57] From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Casting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. All right, Dr. Scott Bradley and Sam Bushman back on your radio,

[00:30:27] talking about Dan Bongino to serve as FBI Deputy Director along with Cash Patel and Pam Bondi. Again, I pray they get a lot done, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just telling you, if we're not very careful, what we end up with is, hey, the FBI was horrible under the Democrats. Let's do the FBI, the Republican, or the MAGA way. And if you're not careful, you don't dismantle anything. You just make it MAGA. And then later they make it whatever the next president wants, Democrat or whatever else.

[00:30:56] And they don't really downsize anything. And I'm a little bit fearful that a lot of the onset of Donald Trump downsizing everything started out with a bang. But, man, it's getting muted left and right by judges and this and that and all these different things happening. And now, I mean, hey, is Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, are they going to downsize their agency to where it doesn't take two people to manage? I'm just saying. I doubt it. So, anyway, be very careful there.

[00:31:24] Steve Bannon wanting Donald Trump over and over and over to stay in office forever. Fool's game. Don't do it. Even George Washington stepped down. Nobody's indispensable. We've got to turn to God, not people, ladies and gentlemen. If you want to have real stability and safety and answer, look, people are great if they serve God. And, you know, how many of these people are godly? Donald Trump, Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, Pam Bondi. I mean, you know, are they going to turn the nation to God? I sure pray the answers. Yeah, will Steve Bannon turn the nation to God?

[00:31:54] I sure pray so. All right. Anyway, Wisconsin governor. This guy's a nutcase. I'm telling you right now. Wisconsin governor. Guy's name is Tony Evers. And Tony Evers wants to replace the word mother with, quote, inseminated person. Inseminated person in state law. I just don't even understand this thing.

[00:32:19] He has introduced a bill that will change state law to replace the word mother with inseminated person. They want to do it in this whole, like, new budget plan they've got and stuff like that. References to, quote, wife or husband would be taken out as well. They just want to change that to spouse.

[00:32:48] Then they want to change paternity to parentage, et cetera. Dr. Bradley, we could laugh at this, but you know what? These people have enough clout to possibly make it happen at the state level. Well, it's likely they will. I mean, Wisconsin has probably the most gerrymandered voting districts in the nation, maybe in the world, to make certain that the power elite contain the power. I've spent some time in Wisconsin.

[00:33:17] And by and large, there's a lot of really good down-to-earth people there. But you get into Madison and those surrounding districts where the university is, my adage that the greater the population density, the higher the propensity to socialism. And if there's a university involved, an order of magnitude higher. That's exactly what you have at the capital of Wisconsin. And there's a very high probability that they'll be able to do this. I mean, you look at Evers.

[00:33:46] I mean, here's a guy that was immersed, steeped, completely saturated in the education system. And these are teachers that are saying stuff like this. I mean, come on. It's an inseminated person. Well, bravo Sierra. Let's put it that way. But you look at what a guy like him. In a relatively, if you will, using the vernacular of the day, conservative state, in terms of the people that are living outside of the Madison district.

[00:34:14] I mean, abortion, education. You look at the right to keep and bear arms. You look at health care, immigration. You look at taxes. You look at the gender bender kind of stuff. I mean, almost everything that this guy touches is the antithesis of what I think you'd say, wait a minute, what are we thinking about, Sam? And so, yeah, I think he has a really high probability of being able to do something like this because of the way everything's been gerrymandered there. And you're going to see that state as whacked out as, what was that, Michigan?

[00:34:45] I mean, you look at some of those states right there in that area that it's like, where did this come from? And they've lost their marbles. I mean, yeah, Massachusetts lost it a long time ago. New Jersey did. New York did. I mean, but this stuff seems to be moving. It's trickling down into places that would surprise you. And every state's got a big metropolis that seems to tip the state socialist. Look at Utah.

[00:35:11] I mean, if you take Salt Lake out of it, or, you know, for the most part, the metro, the Wasatch Front, what some people call it or whatever else, hey, the socialism goes down in the state big time. Now, up where you live, kind of in the Logan area, they've got a big university, so it's kind of crazy. But all I'm telling you is it's a lot of times it's a few places that control the whole masses. Now, I'm wondering if they're going to do this inseminated person. Are they going to do the inseminator, the inseminatee?

[00:35:39] And, you know, I don't even know where this goes, Dr. Bradley. I don't know how to respond to this, really. Like I say, I mean, we call out Bravo Sierra. When I was in the military, that covered a lot of subjects, and this is just one of them. I just am astonished. And, by the way, you talk about the large metro areas. Now, it's not a complete, shall we say, you can't say this unequivocally.

[00:36:05] But, by and large, counties were somewhat analogous to states. And the states had an autonomous kind of nature in the origin of this government in the nation. And the states had a seat at the table and all this. And the Supreme Court ruled quite a number of years ago that these Senate districts had to be aligned population-wise. See, like you take Utah, for example.

[00:36:34] If you look in Juab County or Sanpete County or something like that, a lot of agriculture. And they're saying, oh, no, no, no, that's not one man, one vote. So, they've got to be drawn into large metropolitan population areas where, by and large, the people that are elected have that socialistic bent. The higher the propensity. But they don't need to be brought into that. They need to be, again, it's kind of like a jury of your peers. You can't take a Sam Bushman redneck guy and then say we're going to have a bunch of lawyers and doctors be Sam's peers.

[00:37:03] That's not what we're talking about. You can't have some whacked-out East Coast liberal crazy jury that's supposed to be my peers. They're not my peers at all. You're correct in your assessment. But, see, this is where we get judicial activism that's involved. Yeah, and this is also where you get these big places. You take a couple of collegiately trained people and you export them to these places and get them elected. And pretty soon, hey, again, this big urban center is just basically, you know, it's like throwing a pebble in a pond.

[00:37:32] It just ripples out to these places and then pretty soon the representation doesn't match the people at all. Then they've got plenty of money and plenty of friends in high places. And now you can't pull them out with a block and tackle either. You're right. I mean, I look at the community I'm in. It was basically an agricultural community. And we started, you know, it's desirable places. So we get all these ferners, if you will, moving in that they bring their political nonsense with them. I just was speaking up in Montana. Yeah, look at Mitt Romney to make the point. Right. Absolutely.

[00:38:02] Well, he's a boy, I'll tell you, he's an interloper for sure. But up in Montana, I talk to you. Carpetbagger, whatever word you want to use, right? Yeah. Those people up there, I mean, they're talking to them here. I say, hey, you know, people are encouraging me to move to Montana. Where would you move? And they say, ah, here's some really nice places. But the Californians are bringing their political process into those communities and they're ruining those communities.

[00:38:26] They say they're escaping the dumpster fire in California, but they bring it to the new state that they go into. And people have got to start paying attention to what's happening to their communities. Well, that's because the people aren't educated enough to know that their views, if carried out in real time, are disastrous. And then what they want to do is they want to think, I can hold on to these views, but someone's taking it too far. Not realizing that, you know, hey, it's their whole outlook that causes the problem we're facing, right? Absolutely.

[00:38:56] I mean, you know, like I say, everything that surrounded me when I first moved into my community was just absolutely agriculture. But you do point out the fact that we have a major university, a research university that's in our county that has tainted the perspective. That draws a lot of money to it too, buddy. And that's another thing that we got going here. The general government has no authority to redistribute wealth.

[00:39:20] I don't care if it's to a university, to a corporation, to a foreign power, to a state, to a county, to a municipality, to an individual. To government agencies that are unconstitutional? Every single thing that's happening there. And, you know, there's a tainting system that, you know, you buy your access and you buy your loyalty.

[00:39:44] And students, for example, they may not know it, but they're being polluted with the education system, number one. But second of all, their cost of education is driven by the fact that the general government has entered into the money redistribution program. And you can get a grant or you can get a loan or whatever. And so the universities, you know, it's not like their prices are what they used to be. No.

[00:40:09] If you get an increased funding base for students, the price of education goes up by that plus. So it's cost plus, you know. So students are farther behind than they were to begin with. It's just a vicious test fire. Well, and the people that suffer the most aren't the poor because they get all kinds of fabs of government grant money. The rich people can send their kids to school no matter what and oftentimes have special deals to get their kids in school whether they qualify or not.

[00:40:36] And then the middle people that are, you know, are middle class, they're the ones that suffer the most because they don't qualify for any special privileges and they can't do it themselves. And so they're the ones that suffer the most. Again, it's a rigged system as they pull the lever of government in favor of the few at the expense of the many.

Not enough time, we'll tell you that right now. But this is interesting. Donald Trump says Social Security and Medicaid won't be touched. Doctor?

[00:43:19] Yeah. If you don't significantly get rid of foreign aid and Social Security and that kind of stuff, at some point, man, the whole country's going to implode, my friend. Well, about 60% plus of our spending is on social programs that's considered untouchable. And the fact of the matter is, it's all unconstitutional. I mean, that is a fact, right? Yeah, it's just simply a fact. There's got to be an extraction program that's got to be figured out at some point.

[00:43:47] There's only so many years that this has left without just absolutely disastrous effects on the next generation and what percentage of their money will be confiscated to pay those that are going into it. Now, they may be adjusting this a little bit through the infertility. And this will exacerbate the problem on the new generation coming up because the infertility that comes from the COVID con, the death jab, the clot shot, whatever you want to call it,

[00:44:16] there will be not as many people to work. And so consequently, we're going to get the stress and the pressure. We've got to have immigrants. We've got to have some of these bazillions of people. Yeah, we've created a con game so much. Now it's going to fail without new abused people to continually expand the system. It'll fail. Anyway, so I understand what Trump's saying. He doesn't want to take that on right now. But I'm telling you right now, that's a mistake. You've got to talk about Social Security and Medicaid, and you've got to reform it. And you've got to eventually back out.

[00:44:46] You've got to unwind that thing. And yeah, you don't have to do a crash landing, but you've got to start working on it. And the sooner you do, the better off it will be. By the way, MSNBC, they've been losing viewership like crazy. And now they know it, and they're freaking out, and they don't know what to do and everything else. So now they've canceled their star, wacko Joy Reid. The show's called The Readout, and they say that thegatewaypundit.com, Ben Q, with the piece on this thing.

[00:45:15] And I find that interesting. They call it The Readout. And I kind of find that interesting, because whenever we mention anything that could be a war term, they go ballistic and act like we're the bad guys and we're calling for war or whatever else. It isn't true. But I find this interesting. Joy can just do The Readout, and it's fine, even though that's a military term. Right, Doctor? Well, yeah, but, you know, it's interesting to me. All the news is about her firing. And then there's others that are saying, well, she's really not fired. She still gets paid by the network.

[00:45:44] But she's not going to have her show. I mean, they're chewing their tongue and all that kind of stuff. I kind of would like it if somebody would just hire me with a big old bunch of money and then fire me. I keep the money rolling. That'd be fantastic, Doctor. There's some talk about somehow Jen Psaki, the old liar, the Biden press stuff, is going to take more preeminence somewhere in there. But you're right. Of course she is. That media government revolving door just seems to go on, whether it's Trump or those guys.

[00:46:13] It's, you know, really the same thing we see. MSNBC, I thought it was going to be sold. I was hoping Elon Musk was going to buy it or somebody like that. But, you know, we'll see what happens. The big cable networks, I mean, whether it's CNN or MSNBC or any of the others, they really are on the ropes. And people are not willing to recognize, I mean, the fact that they seem to be really rejected by the vast majority of people that have a brain lift. And so, you know, there's more of this going to happen.

[00:46:43] But, yeah, that's kind of an interesting development where I have some of these multimillion dollar talking heads kind of get rolled. I love to see it as the new media continues to take center stage, ladies and gentlemen. I think it's great. Joy was a wacko. And there you go. The Chosen, ladies and gentlemen, one of my favorite series of all time.

[00:47:06] Season 5 hits theaters starting 3-28, so March 28th. And they say then it'll be available on Prime Video in June, but hitting theaters March 28th. I love The Chosen, Dr. Bradley. And I think it's, is it perfect? No. Have they done their very best to capture the essence of who Jesus Christ really was and, you know, not go far afield from what we know scripturally?

[00:47:35] But yet do the very best they can. I think they've hit a very unique stride here that's influencing people worldwide. And I love to see it, Doctor. Well, there, you know, there is a resurgence, if you will, of interest in the Savior and his life. I mean, honestly, I'll tell you some things I think they've done right. I mean, there's a lot done right, obviously.

[00:47:55] But so many of the previous depictions of the Savior in his life, it was almost like they did cardboard cutouts of the Savior. And they put drapes on him, and they swished him through the grass as they dragged it that way.

[00:48:12] He was a soulless almost, passionless, someone that couldn't have possibly understood what your problems were because he's just a cardboard cutout. And then they brought some humanity to this thing where, you know, I mean, he's not in those long flowing robes that look like, I mean, can you imagine wearing drapes like that, you know, out through the deserts?

[00:48:39] And when you're talking to people, I mean, for heaven's sake, he dresses like the common folk, and he moves among them and so on. I mean, he gets sweaty, and he gets tired and all that kind of stuff. And I think that people are saying, well, this guy could, I can identify with him. He can, and, you know, there's... Yeah, they've made the mistake to think that if we keep him too sanitized, too separate from us, you know,

[00:49:06] they think that that's the way to represent the Savior and not have any, quote, poetic license in it at all, or whatever you want to call it, a creativity license. I think that makes the Savior just seem like not real, okay? Well, it does. But when you put him in the crowd and the people and sweaty and dirty and this and that, and he makes a joke here or there that's very tasteful and appropriate or whatever else and stuff like that, you create a real person that you can identify with in very meaningful ways. Well, see, let's just think about this for a second.

[00:49:36] Let's just take him going in the temple and overturning the tables, okay? The problem is most of the people that were called to overturn the tables are sitting at the tables. And the Savior went in and stirred the establishment and said, no, you know what? You guys don't get it. This isn't my program. We have an institutionalized hierarchy of putzes, basically, that are going to run things.

[00:50:03] And that isn't how, you know, salvation comes about. That's not my father's plan. Yeah. And these guys that are supposed to be turning the tables over are sitting at the tables. And that is almost universally across the board. There's some real rare exceptions. But if you stop and think about it, what did he do? He turned the establishment on its head. And he says, I've come here. He quoted Isaiah when he first went to Nazareth, you know, when he was first beginning his mission.

[00:50:31] He says, these are the reasons I'm here. Go back and read them in Luke chapter 4. This stuff was monumental. Get used to change. He says that line, I think, once or twice in The Chosen. And that's what's happened. And I think that people are saying, well, yeah, what these institutions, the guys that are sitting at the table are doing and picking my pocket and making me feel like I'm a worthless slug.

[00:50:59] When he's bringing me up, he's elevating me. Christ is actually. When you look at the old depictions of the Savior where he's just in this drape or whatever, you can't really imagine yourself walking with him. No, he couldn't. He'd step on his train. But the way they've done this now, though, you can literally imagine yourself walking with the Savior, having a real conversation. And, you know, they want you to believe that might diminish the Savior. I don't think so.

[00:51:25] I think it elevates the Savior to his real status as a real person living on the earth. Now, was he different than the rest of us? Absolutely. Let's not lose sight of that. He's the Savior of the world. He lived a sinless life. I get all that. But at the same time, I get that he's made very real in this. And I applaud The Chosen, and I look forward to Season 5. And I always go to the theater because I want to support them. We need to support good stuff like this with our time, with our dollars, and everything else.

[00:51:52] Now, Elon Musk made a surprise visit, an appearance at CPAC. He was wielding a chainsaw. It was given to him by the Argentine president or Argentine president, Javier Malay, to symbolize dismantling the bureaucracy. So Malay used to cruise around with his chainsaw doing the same thing, kind of. And now Elon Musk picks up the torch, if you will, from Malay. What do you think of that, doctor? Well, you know, there's people.

[00:52:19] I mean, yeah, I understand the need to take a chainsaw to things, and I applaud that and want to do that. But the fact of the matter is, some people are spinning this out like it's, what's this Jason Slasher movie kind of concept? I don't know. But the fact is that the bureaucracy, the Leviathan that's out there, the deep state, whatever you want to call it, has become basically a dearth of any good in the nation, and it just needs to be cut back. It does.

[00:52:49] And I hope that this is a lot of political theater because it's great theater. But I hope it's backed with real cost-cutting measures rather than just theater. Last story of the hour, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt asked Peter Alexander with NBC if he was, quote, defending fraudulent payments from Social Security during a Friday gaggle with reporters,

[00:53:19] dailycaller.com with this thing. So imagine this press secretary going, hey, are you backing these fraudulent payments to a reporter? Now, that's excellent reality-based pushback, doctor. I saw that interview, and it's very interesting to me. This putz, I could use stronger terms, that was pushing Carolyn's buttons about this thing, and she finally said it enough. I mean, you know, I can see how, you know,

[00:53:45] there'd probably be a little bit of a flush on the back of my neck when he's talking to me. Here's an idiot, an imbecile, that seems to be indicating that fraud is okay and you shouldn't be identifying it. She called him out on it. It was like, good girl. And, you know, they say, oh, that's a sexist term. No, she's a female. She's a girl. And she called this putz out. It was like, holy cow, that's cool. I think it's very cool. I commend her for her work.

[00:54:13] She's been on this program, and she's a delightful, refreshing, polite, respectful, but yet won't take guff from these clowns. Kind of a leader. And I commend her for her work. Caroline Levitt, ladies and gentlemen. There you have it. Hey, Trump isn't perfect, but he's doing a lot of good. We better stand up and back him. Congress also needs to stand up and back the president and codify a lot of what he's doing, or it's going to be overturned. We, the people, have to deliver. You can't just expect Trump to do it on his own. We've got to help him deliver. Hour one in the can.
