Radio Show Hour 1 – 12/02/2024

[00:00:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West.

[00:00:18] You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:27] All right, happy to have you along, my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman live on your radio.

[00:00:33] Hard-hitting news the network refused to use, no doubt.

[00:00:36] Starts now.

[00:00:37] Hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic.

[00:00:40] This is the broadcast for December the 2nd in the year of our Lord, 2024.

[00:00:47] This is Hour 1 of 2, the goal always to promote God's family and country, to protect life, liberty, and property.

[00:00:53] Newsful on your radio, in the tradition of our founding fathers.

[00:00:57] Man, we have so much going on in the news, it's not even funny.

[00:01:00] Technical issues a little bit because I've reconfigured my studio for video, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:01:10] And that means I've got to unplug everything under the sun.

[00:01:13] And everything didn't get plugged in perfectly and stuff like that.

[00:01:16] And so now, I didn't get time to test it because it was the Sabbath day.

[00:01:21] And anyway, long story short, I've got to get a few things squared away.

[00:01:26] So nothing is wrong.

[00:01:27] No one's taken us down, at least as of yet.

[00:01:31] But all right, and there's my codec back.

[00:01:33] Liz, you can go ahead and switch me to that.

[00:01:34] Let me see if I'm on this real quick here, and then we'll get live and rolling for the broadcast.

[00:01:38] Happy to have you along.

[00:01:39] Is that pretty good?

[00:01:41] Liz, you can go ahead and connect to me.

[00:01:43] All right, so we're switching.

[00:01:45] All right, how's that?

[00:01:46] Okay.

[00:01:47] I'll hang up the phone.

[00:01:52] And now we're live and ready to go.

[00:01:53] That's what live radio is about sometimes, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:01:57] It's just a little bit crazy.

[00:01:59] And I had plugged everything in, and I forgot to plug one item in.

[00:02:02] And then Liz called me and said, hey, I can't connect to you.

[00:02:04] And what's going on?

[00:02:05] And it's all my fault and all on my end.

[00:02:07] But the good news is we got it all solved, and you guys can see some, what do you want to call it?

[00:02:13] Behind-the-scenes radio?

[00:02:14] How's that?

[00:02:16] Yeah, usually we kind of do so good at it that you don't even know the behind-the-scenes things are happening.

[00:02:20] But once in a while, because radio live, real-time stuff, sometimes it's just like, hey, there's not enough about it.

[00:02:27] Now, I could have done the whole segment on the phone, not said a word about it, and let everybody just think, hey.

[00:02:32] And no one would have known it would have just been not as good of audio at first on the phone,

[00:02:35] and then on the break I could have switched and not said a word about it.

[00:02:38] But it's kind of cool to share some of the behind-the-scenes things that are going on, right?

[00:02:42] Anyway, it is the 2nd of December.

[00:02:44] It is the month of Christmas.

[00:02:46] Thank the good heavens for that, because after all, it is the Savior, Jesus Christ, who will save us all,

[00:02:51] who is the author of our liberty, and who we ought to look for peace, prosperity, safety, forgiveness, and solutions, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:03:00] That is the key.

[00:03:01] Anyway, I digress.

[00:03:03] Dr. Scott Bradley is with me as well, freedomsrisingsun.com.

[00:03:06] Check out his collegiate series to preserve the nation.

[00:03:08] Check out his weekly webinars, two days on the Constitution, and more.

[00:03:12] Welcome to the broadcast, sir.

[00:03:14] Well, thank you, Sam.

[00:03:15] You know, it's interesting.

[00:03:16] You didn't sound because you're robust when we first got on.

[00:03:20] But, you know, it's nice to know that you can make a mistake.

[00:03:23] I mean, we had a sergeant in basic training.

[00:03:26] He said, you know, everybody makes mistakes.

[00:03:28] I thought I made one once, but I didn't.

[00:03:30] But, you know, I mean, it's a rare occasion.

[00:03:32] I know I make them all the time.

[00:03:34] You do superman.

[00:03:34] He must have not been married, huh?

[00:03:38] You know what?

[00:03:39] I did not get plugged in on his marital status.

[00:03:42] The reason I say that, though, is if you're married, you know you make mistakes, right?

[00:03:46] Well, there needs to be somebody to keep you humble, right?

[00:03:49] Absolutely, for sure.

[00:03:51] And you know what?

[00:03:51] I don't get a lot of stuff right oftentimes.

[00:03:54] I'm just pretty good at covering it up most of the time.

[00:03:57] It's kind of like I say, if I just came on the air, people thought, hmm, that audio wasn't as good as it was.

[00:04:01] But then I switched to the other audio, and most people wouldn't really.

[00:04:04] I mean, they'd notice the difference kind of, but they wouldn't really think much of it.

[00:04:08] But I like to share some of the behind-the-scenes scramble and things that happen.

[00:04:11] But the good news is I'm getting my studio more and more ready for video.

[00:04:14] And we're doing a lot of short videos now, putting out a couple of weeks and stuff like that.

[00:04:19] It's pretty cool.

[00:04:20] Have you checked those out, Dr. Bradley?

[00:04:23] LibertyRoundTable.com.

[00:04:24] Click on the video link.

[00:04:26] And they're short.

[00:04:27] They're five minutes or less.

[00:04:28] Send me the link.

[00:04:29] We'll have to check out on that action.

[00:04:32] Yeah, LibertyRoundTable.com.

[00:04:34] And then there's a button there.

[00:04:36] By default, it has all of them mixed together, the radio shows and the videos.

[00:04:39] But if you click the link at the top, you can set it to all radio shows or all videos.

[00:04:44] And there's like, I don't know, six videos up now.

[00:04:46] And we're putting up a couple of more today and tomorrow and Wednesday.

[00:04:51] And anyway, then we're going to start coming out with two or three or four or five videos a week, depending on time and details and such like that.

[00:04:58] But anyway, it's kind of cool.

[00:04:58] Liberty Roundtable live shorts going on, spreading the word everywhere.

[00:05:02] They're pretty neat.

[00:05:03] One of the latest ones I did was everybody on Earth is a war veteran.

[00:05:12] And people kind of go, huh, what?

[00:05:14] When you think about it, if you believe in the Bible, there was a war in heaven.

[00:05:17] We were all involved.

[00:05:19] And now we're on Earth and the war continues.

[00:05:22] And it's kind of a little tidbit on that.

[00:05:24] So that, you know, it's a little bit of tongue-in-cheek, a little fun.

[00:05:26] One coming out here soon talks about Alex Jones and the defense of Alex Jones and the sacred right of free speech.

[00:05:33] And so anyway, they're little shorts that I find that I want people to kind of know.

[00:05:36] And I think they're pretty well done if I say so myself.

[00:05:39] I'm not the editor.

[00:05:40] I've got a great editor.

[00:05:41] I won't reveal his name, but he deserves more credit than I do.

[00:05:44] That's for sure.

[00:05:45] And anyway, they're pretty neat videos.

[00:05:47] So anybody who wants to check those out, they're available.

[00:05:50] And second thing, Dr. Bradley, I popped in your email this morning, this incredible press release we just put out at the Constitutional Sheriff's and Peace Officers Association.

[00:05:58] I'm hoping you can pull that up and read it.

[00:05:59] It's not very long.

[00:06:00] So the title of it is CSPOA endorses nationwide plan for enhanced deportation efforts.

[00:06:11] CSPOA endorses nationwide plan for enhanced deportation efforts.

[00:06:16] And, you know, there's some things that worry me about that plan from Donald Trump.

[00:06:21] And I've already highlighted those on the radio many times.

[00:06:23] I'm concerned that he wants to use the military.

[00:06:26] I support the military on the border itself.

[00:06:28] I don't support the military being released internally or into the interior of the United States necessarily.

[00:06:35] The National Guard can be used on the border and this kind of stuff.

[00:06:38] We need to be very careful not to, you know, cross the posse comitatus kind of discussions or lines.

[00:06:44] But I support the plan.

[00:06:46] And we really, instead of attacking Trump on the concern about it, Rand Paul and others already highlighted, look, we don't support military in the streets.

[00:06:53] Rand's right.

[00:06:54] But we at the CSPOA chose to take a different tact, which is we support the plan completely.

[00:06:59] But we need to realize and acknowledge and advocate for the pivotal role local county sheriffs can play in this.

[00:07:08] And that's kind of where our press release went.

[00:07:10] It's been sent far and wide to thousands of media organizations now.

[00:07:15] And it's all over the place.

[00:07:17] Did you get that in your email, Dr. Bradley?

[00:07:18] Is that easy to find?

[00:07:19] Well, I do have.

[00:07:20] It's a brief, very brief press release.

[00:07:23] Yes, it is.

[00:07:23] And there's a segment in here to Facebook that is not connecting.

[00:07:28] But maybe the thing above your Sam Bushman CSPOA signature is to summon substance.

[00:07:37] Is that it?

[00:07:38] Yeah, if you click on the link there that I gave you, I gave you basically a link.

[00:07:41] It says link to the press release right at the top.

[00:07:44] But the Facebook link does not link up.

[00:07:47] Yeah, but it's not a Facebook link.

[00:07:48] It's a link to EIN Presswire.

[00:07:50] Anyway, see if that works.

[00:07:51] If not, I've got the press release here that I can cover.

[00:07:53] No, I've got it.

[00:07:55] I think I've got it.

[00:07:56] It's pretty short.

[00:07:56] It's not very long, and it's intentionally that way.

[00:07:59] Because, again, we're starting to find in our press releases, if it's too long, people just don't read them.

[00:08:04] Right?

[00:08:05] All right, here it is.

[00:08:06] You want me to read it?

[00:08:08] Yes, sir.

[00:08:09] It's out of Higley, Arizona, United States, December 2nd, which is today, 2024.

[00:08:16] The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, CSPOA, announces its full support

[00:08:22] for the proposed deportation initiatives outlined by former President Donald Trump and former ICE director Tom Horman.

[00:08:31] The plan aims to address the issue of individuals residing in the United States unlawfully

[00:08:37] and emphasizes the critical role of sheriffs in ensuring effective implementation.

[00:08:44] CSPOA highlights the unique position of sheriffs who possess in-depth knowledge of their communities

[00:08:50] to assist in identifying individuals involved in criminal activities or posing threats to public safety.

[00:08:57] By leveraging this localized expertise, the deportation process comprises public safety while minimizing errors.

[00:09:07] American sheriffs from across the country have already expressed their willingness to support this initiative.

[00:09:13] CSPOA commends their proactive approach in collaborating to address this national challenge.

[00:09:19] Contact information.

[00:09:20] It's got the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.

[00:09:24] It's got Sheriff Mack's phone number and your phone number.

[00:09:27] And then a website.

[00:09:28] You want me to review that?

[00:09:30] No, that's okay.

[00:09:30] That's good.

[00:09:31] So the bottom line is what we're saying is, you know, hey, we support the plan 100 percent.

[00:09:35] But, you know, there's a lot of focus on the military right now.

[00:09:38] And we want to insert the sheriffs into this discussion.

[00:09:40] These sheriffs are local.

[00:09:42] They know who the problems are in their counties.

[00:09:44] They have probably more details about the criminals and the bad, you know, guys more than anybody.

[00:09:51] And it can go very smoothly if we work with these local sheriffs.

[00:09:55] There's 3,000 of them in the country.

[00:09:56] All of them will not participate, but plenty of them will.

[00:10:00] And I think that we kind of start there and say, look, you know what?

[00:10:04] Let's not put everybody in fear.

[00:10:06] Let's start with the real criminals.

[00:10:08] And Rand Paul kind of said, hey, there's upwards of 30,000 of them.

[00:10:11] Let's start there.

[00:10:12] I think there might be quite a few more than that.

[00:10:16] And I think that there's a lot of them that could leave the country, too, that may not be hardened criminals.

[00:10:21] You know, murderers, rapists, that kind of stuff.

[00:10:23] But they might not have a great track record and might not have the ability to stay here without being on the dole either.

[00:10:30] And so we advocate for them.

[00:10:32] We tried to write a stronger press release.

[00:10:34] Let's skip the break.

[00:10:34] This is too good.

[00:10:37] We tried to write a stronger press release that kind of went into more details.

[00:10:40] And here's the reason that I bring all this up.

[00:10:42] Man, we're having real trouble with our press releases.

[00:10:45] Every time we write a press release, they reject it, Dr. Bradley.

[00:10:49] And when they reject it, they always basically come back and say, this press release is too opinionated.

[00:10:57] You can't have press releases based on opinion.

[00:11:00] Please, you know, and then they give us a link to their guidelines to help us rewrite the press release to be, you know, acceptable to the world.

[00:11:08] And it's interesting to me how they go about this.

[00:11:14] They literally, let me give you an example.

[00:11:17] If I say, hey, you know, we got illegals in the country that are illegal and we got to get rid of them.

[00:11:24] And sheriffs are the best people to get rid of them.

[00:11:26] Then they say, see, that's opinion.

[00:11:29] If I say sheriffs play a critical role in Donald Trump's plan to get rid of them, then it's acceptable because it's supposedly now not opinion, but fact.

[00:11:38] The problem is there isn't a plan that I know of, not a complete laid out one, written one that I've seen.

[00:11:43] But if I refer to the plan, then it's acceptable.

[00:11:46] And if I, you know, kind of try to create the plan or try to create the guidance, then it's all opinion based.

[00:11:51] I find it very strange.

[00:11:53] The liberals absolutely control the press release industry.

[00:11:57] And if you say things that are opinion that they love, then they'll publish it in a heartbeat.

[00:12:02] You say things that aren't the way they want them to be, then they kind of have this opinion versus fact point of view.

[00:12:10] You can say the same things two ways.

[00:12:12] If you rely on other people's opinions, it's a fact.

[00:12:14] If you rely on your own opinions or your own beliefs or your own viewpoint, then it's very, very strange.

[00:12:21] Do you want to respond to this, Doctor?

[00:12:23] Yeah, there's plenty of things we could say.

[00:12:25] But is it the EIN press wire that's they that you're talking about?

[00:12:32] Is that the they?

[00:12:34] I mean, that's at the top of this press release.

[00:12:37] At any rate, maybe the name doesn't matter.

[00:12:38] This is the EIN press wire that says that.

[00:12:41] But it doesn't matter which press release company we go to.

[00:12:43] The more ability to distribute they have, the more they have these guidelines that you've got to go by.

[00:12:50] And so PR press wire is just like that but a lot more expensive.

[00:12:53] The less, I don't know what you want to say, prolific or distributable the press releases through a given service, it seems like they're not quite as intense.

[00:13:03] Like I know several places that I can go that would publish it more opinion style.

[00:13:06] But your reach isn't near as good.

[00:13:08] And your costs increase substantially.

[00:13:10] And so it's very interesting to see how they do this and stuff.

[00:13:14] We're learning a lot about this.

[00:13:16] And, you know, again, I don't know that it's any less opinion based the way it's rewritten.

[00:13:20] But it's shorter, see?

[00:13:22] So we talked about the danger of the military being involved.

[00:13:25] And we can't cross posse combatados.

[00:13:27] And we can't.

[00:13:28] They don't like all that.

[00:13:29] See?

[00:13:30] So we had to simplify it.

[00:13:31] We had to rewrite it.

[00:13:32] We had to.

[00:13:33] You know, they've got all these guidelines.

[00:13:34] And anyway, it's very, very interesting how the wording on these things go.

[00:13:38] And so that's why it's kind of so short and so to the point.

[00:13:41] The more you say, the more they're likely to reject it.

[00:13:43] The more you put it in, for example, you know, I think every sheriff in the country ought to be trained.

[00:13:48] I think we ought to have a meeting with Donald Trump to discuss this and to put sheriffs at the center of it, to create what I call proper multi-jurisdictional coordination about these things.

[00:13:59] But you know what?

[00:14:00] You don't get a chance to do all that, see?

[00:14:02] You can't call for a meeting with President Trump because they'll just say, hey, the meeting is not a fact.

[00:14:06] You're just in your opinion.

[00:14:07] You want a meeting with Trump.

[00:14:08] Well, everybody wants a meeting with Trump.

[00:14:09] So therefore, forget that.

[00:14:11] Or whatever.

[00:14:11] Anyway, all I'm saying is almost anything you say turns it into a rejection piece if you're not very, very careful.

[00:14:17] And it's tough, tough, tough, tough to get your press releases released.

[00:14:22] Now, if you're talking about something that's not political, it gets easier.

[00:14:28] It seems like they try to, you know, to tailor and to form and to shape and to kind of mold the message.

[00:14:34] But, you know, I am very concerned.

[00:14:37] I mean, you mentioned just in passing, and I don't know if people really focused on that, that there isn't a plan.

[00:14:45] At least it's been made public.

[00:14:47] No, there's not one that I know of.

[00:14:48] And here's the problem.

[00:14:50] It's not the only problem, but it's one of the problems is that we have people like the guys in Colorado, the guys in New Jersey, you know, other places that are saying over our dead body, we're not going to let this happen.

[00:15:01] And it's very interesting that I believe, I'm quite confident that it'll have this element in it.

[00:15:09] But the feds always leverage their financial power.

[00:15:13] And most states, I would venture to guess that there's not a state in the union that takes less than 30% of their entire revenue stream from the feds.

[00:15:24] That's right.

[00:15:25] That's true.

[00:15:26] What you're going to find, I think, is that they'll end up saying, no, okay, fine, we'll withhold your transportation funding or your education funding or whatever.

[00:15:37] You know, because honestly, all of the federal...

[00:15:40] Funding you ought not have in the first place.

[00:15:43] Now, all of the federal unconstitutional bribery money is going to be in play.

[00:15:49] And I think that we sell our souls or our heritage or our birthright or whatever you want to call it for a mess of pottage constantly in this country for, like I say, in the education department.

[00:16:01] It probably averages about 9% or 10% across the nation for every state gets that amount of money from the Department of Education.

[00:16:09] And so we've sold our birthright to the feds.

[00:16:14] So they control our educational process.

[00:16:16] It should actually be in the hands.

[00:16:18] It, in reality, is in the hands of the parents.

[00:16:21] But now they've shaped it.

[00:16:24] So I kind of suspect that the guys in Colorado and the guys in New Jersey and some of these other states that have dug their heels and said, nope, it ain't going to happen on my watch.

[00:16:35] Well, they're going to find that there's probably some federal leverage based upon the funding that they have accepted.

[00:16:43] And it's interesting.

[00:16:45] I mean, there's police funding.

[00:16:46] I mean, every aspect of everything has some sort of federal tie-in that leverages the states.

[00:16:54] And so that's something they could use in this case.

[00:16:58] But in most instances, what's happening, you know, you look at Title IX, you look at universities and all that kind of stuff.

[00:17:05] They have reshaped all of their athletic programs based upon federal funding.

[00:17:11] You know, so they got rid of the men's wrestling team, for example, or the men's gymnastics team or whatever.

[00:17:17] And they put other female-focused sports into the program to get federal funding.

[00:17:24] And that's been shaping America's universities' athletic programs for years now.

[00:17:31] But that's how they do it.

[00:17:32] They do it with money.

[00:17:33] They use that velvet hand, well, the velvet glove with the iron fist in it to say, you know, if you want to continue to get these funds.

[00:17:42] And all the universities want to.

[00:17:44] I mean, they've dumped, you know, these men's athletic programs that were really quite popular in favor of female ones.

[00:17:52] Now, I'm not saying they shouldn't have the female ones.

[00:17:55] But in order to get the federal money, which is unconstitutional.

[00:17:59] I don't think going to college and getting a degree and, you know, preparing yourself for life has anything to do with sports, personally.

[00:18:07] You're right, Sam.

[00:18:08] And the problem is that they stack all this cost on there.

[00:18:12] They get a ton of money from sports, so it's a positive gain from them, from the feds and from all kinds of donors and all kinds of people.

[00:18:19] But it turns it into a clown show.

[00:18:20] It's gotten to where you have all kinds of people going to college that don't really deserve to be there, aren't qualified to be there, aren't doing well in school.

[00:18:26] But for a variety of popular and political reasons, financial reasons, et cetera, they can stay there.

[00:18:32] And, you know, it turns college into kind of a clown show.

[00:18:35] And the guy that really struggles to get there, you know, hey, they get a government, you know, what do they call that thing?

[00:18:40] FABSA?

[00:18:41] I think it is.

[00:18:41] That's that government form you fill out, and then you can get all this government money to, you know, grants and everything else to go to school.

[00:18:47] And all that does is let too many people go to college that maybe don't deserve to be there for reasons I just highlighted.

[00:18:53] And then what happens is it just ups the cost of education for everyone.

[00:18:58] And so it becomes a rite of passage rather than a hard work effort that you really want to be there and everything else.

[00:19:03] And they've turned the whole thing completely upside down.

[00:19:06] I know we're diverging from the border to education, but the point is, hey, we endorse the nationwide plan.

[00:19:15] The problem is I don't really know of a plan, you see?

[00:19:17] But if you say it that way, then you're factual.

[00:19:20] If I say, hey, we love what President Trump's trying to work on.

[00:19:24] We think what he's doing is great.

[00:19:25] We'd like to sit down with him and kind of build a plan together.

[00:19:28] We believe local sheriffs have a responsibility to be at the center of this thing.

[00:19:33] Why?

[00:19:33] Because every illegal is in a, quote, county jurisdiction.

[00:19:37] Therefore, the county sheriff is the chief executive in that county, and he needs to be there.

[00:19:41] And we'd like to train sheriffs in de-escalation.

[00:19:43] We'd like to train people to not make mistakes.

[00:19:47] Respect due process of law for everybody.

[00:19:49] But yet, hey, hardened criminals have to go, and there's ways to do it.

[00:19:53] And we'd like to work on this thing.

[00:19:54] And so, hey, that's all opinion.

[00:19:56] Can't say any of that, doctor.

[00:19:57] No, sir.

[00:19:59] Well, I'm waiting with a bated breath the plan because this thing could go off the rails very quickly and very easily.

[00:20:07] There could be a movement.

[00:20:09] And then we at the CSPOA would remove our support then if it does that.

[00:20:13] Yeah.

[00:20:14] Yeah.

[00:20:14] The problem is that this could go with a nationalized police force or, in essence, something effectively that way.

[00:20:22] So just think of Nazi Germany, 1930s, when they went with the national police force.

[00:20:28] And like I say, that was a happily ever after story.

[00:20:31] And that's the problem is the United States does not constitutionally have a national police force.

[00:20:39] And this idea of using the military internal to the United States violates U.S. law.

[00:20:44] And these kinds of things should be brought out, discussed, reviewed, analyzed, and resolved before anybody starts rolling a program out, you know, January 20, 2025.

[00:20:58] And that's why we're kind of saying, hey, guys, the sheriff ought to be at the center of this.

[00:21:05] Well, to tell you the truth, if they overlook the sheriff, they're overlooking a wonderful resource that would be constitutional because local control of police is where the general government should be.

[00:21:19] There shouldn't be some, you know, I don't know, strong-arm tactics where they roll into town.

[00:21:25] And, you know, I put the vision of MRAPs and tanks and everything else.

[00:21:30] They roll into town and they're going to come through and they're just going to bully and everything else like that.

[00:21:34] The feds do not have a role constitutionally in law enforcement in the United States.

[00:21:40] There's some very, very rare constitutionally identified locations where they do, like counterfeiting, for example.

[00:21:47] But the fact of the matter is that they do have some border.

[00:21:50] Congress has the authority to determine who stays in the country and some of that kind of stuff.

[00:21:54] So there's a little bit of an overlap.

[00:21:56] But how do you jurisdictionally work through that?

[00:21:58] And the term that needs to be discussed is called coordination.

[00:22:01] You can have the county sheriff provide the lead in this county.

[00:22:05] You can have the governor provide some people statewide because criminals cross county line boundaries, right?

[00:22:11] So you can have the governor involved.

[00:22:13] But it ought to be the county sheriff, the governor, and then any general support backing from the feds that you can get, not the other way around.

[00:22:20] And when sheriffs or governors aren't willing to obey the law and allow the general government to take the lead on immigration and border patrol and that kind of stuff, then there needs to be some discussions and work through that kind of stuff.

[00:22:35] Because when you have overlapping jurisdictions, it gets tough, doctor.

[00:22:38] And that's where sitting down is the best answer.

[00:22:41] Coming up with a plan, coming up with a logical who has leadership here and why kind of discussions are vitally important.

[00:22:49] Well, it seems like, you know, in some of these operations, we used to call them a SPOC, single point of contact.

[00:22:55] Okay.

[00:22:56] And what that ends up being is up for discussion at this particular point of time.

[00:23:02] But, you know, a sheriff is reasonably considered a potential candidate to be a SPOC, a single point of contact, when it comes to laboring in the county.

[00:23:12] Now, it may be some, you know, state agency in, you know, different states have a Department of Safety or, you know, the state troopers report to whatever.

[00:23:23] But the point of the matter is that there is a hierarchy.

[00:23:26] There is a structure.

[00:23:28] There's an old phraseology we used in military situations, command, control, communications.

[00:23:34] C cubed I.

[00:23:36] Intelligence is the I at the end.

[00:23:37] Command, control, and communications.

[00:23:40] And, of course, the intelligence side.

[00:23:42] All of that should go through a structure that there is a defined methodology by which it's done.

[00:23:49] I have not seen any of that coming out in the discussions that are being done.

[00:23:54] No, there's not.

[00:23:56] And that's our problem.

[00:23:57] But we're, you know, hey, we have to refer to it as a plan.

[00:23:59] Now, I think what you ought to have is three in a box.

[00:24:01] You ought to have a county sheriff, 3,000 of them across the country.

[00:24:04] You ought to have a state representative.

[00:24:06] There's 50 of them across the country.

[00:24:07] Then you ought to have a team on the general level in that order.

[00:24:10] Top down, county at the top, general government at the bottom.

[00:24:13] And they can have three points of people in the contact.

[00:24:17] The main contact is three people.

[00:24:19] And you've got everybody involved.

[00:24:22] You can create a grid like that with modern technology.

[00:24:24] Communicate with them absolutely easy as pie.

[00:24:27] And we could have this intelligence distributed.

[00:24:29] We could have communications.

[00:24:31] We can make sure we minimize mistakes but get rid of dangers to the populace in this country.

[00:24:36] There's ways to do it.

[00:24:38] And there's ways to do it constitutionally.

[00:24:39] And our whole press release aims to provide guidance to get that done.

[00:26:00] An appeals court in Belgium has ordered the state to pay reparations to five mixed-race women forcibly taken from their mothers and placed in orphanages in Congo.

[00:26:10] This case involves five women who were born more than 70 years ago in what was then the Belgian Congo.

[00:26:15] Each of them was the child of a white father and a black mother.

[00:26:19] The court said that as young children, they were taken from their mothers in a systematic act of abduction by the Belgian state solely because of their origins.

[00:26:27] The girls were then placed in religious institutions where they suffered further abuse.

[00:26:32] The court ordered Belgium to compensate the women all now in their 70s for what it called an inhumane act of persecution.

[00:27:01] Recess appointments could put President-elect Trump at odds with conservatives on the Supreme Court.

[00:27:06] Republicans will control the White House and both houses of Congress come January.

[00:27:10] Trump and his Republican allies are talking about going around the Senate and using temporary resource appointments, which last no more than two years.

[00:27:17] Invoking that authority could result in a fight that leads to the Supreme Court.

[00:27:21] In its 234 years, the Supreme Court has decided only one case involving recess appointments.

[00:27:26] In 2014, justices unanimously ruled that Democrat President Barack Obama's recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were illegal.

[00:29:03] In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.

[00:29:10] More babies will mean forward-looking adults.

[00:29:12] The sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.

[00:29:17] American babies, in particular, are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded

[00:29:24] than children raised in still industrializing countries.

[00:29:27] As economist Tyler Cowen recently wrote,

[00:29:31] By having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.

[00:29:48] The solution to so many of our problems, at all times and in all places,

[00:29:54] is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.

[00:29:59] Casting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West.

[00:30:18] You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:30:24] All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:30:27] All right, moving to another subject with Dr. Scott Radley, freedomsizingsun.com.

[00:30:33] Everything this administration does is a lie, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:30:36] I do not exaggerate.

[00:30:38] If you've wondered if people are above the law, we have positive proof now.

[00:30:42] They wanted to say that was Donald Trump, that he's above the law, but I don't see that he is.

[00:30:47] I see that they've gone after him big time.

[00:30:50] Well, Joe Biden now has, quote, officially pardoned his son, Hunter.

[00:30:56] Hunter, this comes after Biden and the White House repeatedly said,

[00:31:02] no, we will not pardon Hunter.

[00:31:06] Wnd.com with the piece.

[00:31:08] So Joe said he wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it.

[00:31:11] No, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:31:12] Everybody said no.

[00:31:13] Now he's done it over the weekend.

[00:31:15] And what he says is, hey, my son's being unfairly targeted.

[00:31:18] Therefore, I've got to protect my son from these evil folks that are targeting him, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:31:25] Now he was charged with gun charges and tax evasion charges and lying on gun background check forms and everything else.

[00:31:33] And they tried to do a cop a plea deal or whatever before, and it failed.

[00:31:37] And now Joe saves Hunter, proving people are above the law, Dr. Bradley.

[00:31:44] You know, it's interesting.

[00:31:46] I, when I first heard about this yesterday, of course, it was, it started blasting my text messaging.

[00:31:53] You know, here's, here's one of the, the things I wrote back.

[00:32:00] It would be interesting to see the blowback from the Trumpites.

[00:32:03] Watch the Trump crowd clamor for the blanket pardons across the board.

[00:32:07] Tit for tat, goose and gander, pot calling the kettle black, recriminations will abound.

[00:32:12] Trump will probably now claim the authority to pardon himself and all sins known and unknown past and future.

[00:32:18] Let the free fear all begin.

[00:32:20] Rules in a knife fight?

[00:32:21] There are no rules in a knife fight.

[00:32:23] Here's another one.

[00:32:23] I said, the clown act is in the center ring right now and the show ain't over yet.

[00:32:28] Baboons, buffoons, imbeciles and freaks are waiting in the wings.

[00:32:32] So exciting.

[00:32:33] Here's another one.

[00:32:34] So how about pardons for all who have been convicted of gun violations and tax evasion slash charges?

[00:32:41] So, I mean, these are some of the.

[00:32:42] Yeah, we're about to free our buddy Ken Cromar, aren't we?

[00:32:44] Well, that's where I was going with this.

[00:32:46] As you know, Ken has a tax issue.

[00:32:48] And I think it would be very appropriate to, you know, kind of put this thing forward as a kind of a, okay, well, if let's see what this, how this flies.

[00:32:57] The problem is that everything that Biden does is, if it's been tried in the public arena and the evidence has been presented, like his gun charge when he was a drug addict or his tax evasion stuff.

[00:33:16] We don't even know if he's a drug addict right now, though.

[00:33:19] If we're going to give him a pardon, let's at least drug test him right now.

[00:33:21] Call him in for a drug test.

[00:33:23] Well, I don't know as that would pertain to it, but the fact is he did violate.

[00:33:27] And now, again, this federal firearms form is an unconstitutional infringement on the right to keep and bear arms.

[00:33:35] So don't say I'm endorsing what the form says.

[00:33:39] But I'm not endorsing the gun violations or the tax violations.

[00:33:43] I believe the taxes are a problem.

[00:33:45] Unconstitutional, so is the gun charges.

[00:33:47] However, there's a lot of good people that are on these same charges that aren't getting freed is the point.

[00:33:52] Absolutely.

[00:33:52] That's where we are right now.

[00:33:53] The people that have been caught in this unconstitutional snare should be just across the board, you know, given a pardon.

[00:34:03] But there's a lot more than that.

[00:34:06] I mean, the J6 stuff, there are going to be a lot of teeth grinding about that.

[00:34:11] And virtually all of those people should be pardoned.

[00:34:14] But the fact is they've already spent four years in jail, you know.

[00:34:17] I think there ought to be reparations for those people.

[00:34:21] You know, I don't know.

[00:34:22] What do you think?

[00:34:23] $250,000 a year for time spent in jail?

[00:34:25] I don't know what the number ought to be.

[00:34:27] But the fact of the matter is that this was, I mean, basically, habeas corpus was suspended.

[00:34:34] They locked him up, threw away the key.

[00:34:37] And most of these people were just regular moms and pops that went there to say, hey, wait.

[00:34:43] You know, I want to hear the Trump celebration and, you know, wish him well and goodbye.

[00:34:48] And they wondered where they shouldn't have.

[00:34:51] And it's really metastasized into a huge problem.

[00:34:54] At any rate, four years in jail for something that, I mean, you know, we got rapists and murderers and stuff.

[00:35:01] They get off scot-free.

[00:35:03] And Bidens that never have to answer for it.

[00:35:07] I mean, think about it.

[00:35:08] When Joe, the dad, intervened in the Ukraine thing and bribed the country with a billion dollars of taxpayer dollars,

[00:35:19] this kid has been fed with a silver spoon his entire life.

[00:35:24] When hasn't he got off?

[00:35:25] Because his old man intervened, you know?

[00:35:28] So, you know, and...

[00:35:29] That's right.

[00:35:30] I mean, he literally got involved with a hooker, got her pregnant, lied about it, pretended it wasn't his kid.

[00:35:34] She forced the DNA test and proved that it was.

[00:35:37] I mean, this kind of stuff, right?

[00:35:39] Well, yeah.

[00:35:39] And he was writing hookers off on, or I don't know exactly the terminology for the women that he was writing off on his taxes.

[00:35:46] But in essence, that's what it boiled down to.

[00:35:49] And it's like, holy cow.

[00:35:51] I mean, somebody takes an extra mile or two on their, you know, their company car write-off.

[00:35:58] And it's like, oh, a federal case.

[00:36:00] Here comes the IRS.

[00:36:01] I mean, every single step of the way, he has been blatantly, flagrantly violating all of these things.

[00:36:10] Again, most of the things should never be on the books anyway, but they are.

[00:36:14] But they've got good people that are serving time in jail right now, or huge fines and penalties.

[00:36:21] Absolutely broke the bank.

[00:36:23] They were basically robbed of all their assets.

[00:36:26] And they're maybe starting over as paupers.

[00:36:30] And it's like, oh, Hunter, you know, pass that boy the keys to the kingdom.

[00:36:34] Well, and my other question is this.

[00:36:36] Doesn't Joe, in a sense, pardon himself when he pardons Hunter?

[00:36:39] And let me explain what I mean.

[00:36:41] All roads, when it comes, if we're looking at this kind of stuff, if we're going to dig into his taxes, then we're going to dig into his finance.

[00:36:47] If we're going to dig into his finance, we're going to dig into the pay-to-play schemes.

[00:36:50] If we're going to dig into the pay-to-play schemes, we're going to dig into good old Joe being involved.

[00:36:54] You know, the big guy got 10% or whatever the case may be, 10% for the big guy.

[00:36:58] Okay, I think that Joe is really doing this because eventually all roads lead to Joe, and he knows it.

[00:37:03] And so when he pardons his son, I submit to you that he's really pardoning himself as well because it shuts down all those investigations and all that they could lead to.

[00:37:12] Doctor?

[00:37:13] Well, I think you make a really good and interesting point and one that's probably been on the table and considered.

[00:37:19] However, here's how I would approach it were I in the Justice Department.

[00:37:23] I'm not, so I guess it's a moot question or issue.

[00:37:27] But the fact of the matter is that you've snipped off one of the rotten fruit that was there.

[00:37:35] I think all other evidence should continue to be available and on the table.

[00:37:39] And the fact that Hunter might not have had it go into his, I mean, maybe his bank account, you can't get into that.

[00:37:48] But there are so many other roads that lead to Joe that I think that there's a way for a willing and determined prosecutor to chase this to ground.

[00:37:58] I agree 100%.

[00:38:00] However, the Republicans have proven they're not willing to, though.

[00:38:03] I mean, you look at Mike Johnson, the leader of the House, and you look at, oh, what's that guy's name?

[00:38:08] Jim Jordan and these guys.

[00:38:10] They literally held the report, didn't push for impeachment, waited until Joe stepped down.

[00:38:15] Then they released their report and said, yeah, Joe was guilty of all kinds of impeachable crimes.

[00:38:19] They let him off.

[00:38:20] Well, you see, Republicans tend to be all bark and no bite.

[00:38:23] I mean, I've said so many times Republicans are incapable or inadequate or incompetent, I don't know what term to use, to govern.

[00:38:32] All the above, sir.

[00:38:33] Yeah.

[00:38:33] Well, the fact of the matter is all bark, no bite.

[00:38:36] Maybe it, you know, encapsulates all of that.

[00:38:39] But I don't think I've ever seen a Republican chase anything to ground, up to and including Ken Starr and the Bill Clinton thing.

[00:38:46] I mean, he threw that case, as far as I'm concerned, the Bill Clinton impeachment was a thrown case, and they chased the wrong dog.

[00:38:56] Bark and bite.

[00:38:57] I don't know.

[00:38:57] Maybe it's a good analogy.

[00:38:58] That's right.

[00:38:58] They chased Lewinsky instead of the real crimes that he had committed.

[00:39:03] I know.

[00:39:04] Wasn't that fantastic?

[00:39:06] I thought it was pretty neat myself.

[00:39:08] Why is he always in your studio?

[00:39:10] By the way, Donald Trump, over the weekend on Saturday, I think it was, nominated a sheriff by the name of Chad Chronister.

[00:39:20] He's the sheriff of what's called Hillsborough County, Florida, for the position of administrator of the DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:39:33] Now, in my opinion, this is bad news.

[00:39:36] Fox News gave me the details for this.

[00:39:37] We reject Sheriff Chad Chroniger to run the DEA.

[00:39:43] Why?

[00:39:43] Because he arrested a Christian pastor by the name of Rodney Howard Brown during COVID because he wouldn't shut down his church.

[00:39:54] And so we are issuing a press release about this at the CSPOA, rejecting this.

[00:40:00] Conservatives are howling about this, saying this is insane.

[00:40:04] How dare this happen?

[00:40:07] And I don't understand at all about this, but we're going to write a press release against this.

[00:40:11] We're waiting for it to be released right now.

[00:40:13] And I look at this and I go, man, I don't know how on earth Donald Trump even gets these people.

[00:40:17] And the answer is, it turns out that, I don't know, Donald's other daughter's husband.

[00:40:25] So I don't know what you call that, whatever.

[00:40:30] I guess his husband's father, so the daughter's husband's father or whatever, is somehow involved.

[00:40:39] And it's kind of a pay to play scenario, a payback kind of, you know, whatever.

[00:40:42] That's speculation.

[00:40:43] The fact that he picked this sheriff is not speculation.

[00:40:46] Go ahead and skip the break.

[00:40:47] And it's disastrous because this guy is a clown.

[00:40:50] He literally arrested a pastor.

[00:40:52] Now, it turns out that all the charges against the pastor were dropped.

[00:40:55] But the sheriff didn't apologize or anything.

[00:40:58] But when he arrested the guy, he made big fanfare and took it to the media and everything else.

[00:41:02] Look how awesome I am.

[00:41:03] There was no legislative authority or any law in the books about this at all.

[00:41:08] The sheriff just went off half cocked.

[00:41:10] And it's a shame.

[00:41:11] It's a disgrace.

[00:41:12] He's not a popular sheriff in Florida.

[00:41:14] I don't even know how this would be on Trump's radar in the first place.

[00:41:17] Now, there's a lot of good sheriffs I can think of that could fill this slot.

[00:41:21] But this, in my opinion, Chad Chronister is not the guy.

[00:41:25] This guy is a bad apple, in my opinion.

[00:41:27] Not a good sheriff at all.

[00:41:28] And I don't know how this all happens.

[00:41:30] But we completely oppose this guy.

[00:41:31] This is huge news over the weekend, doctor.

[00:41:35] There's plenty of COVID cowards out there that are still waiting in the weeds to bite us on the heel when they go through again.

[00:41:43] And maybe this guy is one of them.

[00:41:45] But it just blows my mind.

[00:41:46] I mean, I had meetings.

[00:41:47] And I've had plenty of meetings over the years with law enforcement agencies.

[00:41:53] And this is the comeback they always come to me.

[00:41:55] I say I would like to have a commitment that you're going to follow the Constitution.

[00:42:00] And, you know, this is just a made-up scenario because there's so many angles to it.

[00:42:04] But, well, they say I'm going to follow the law.

[00:42:08] Bravo, Sierra.

[00:42:09] What is the law?

[00:42:11] You know, the highest law on the land is the Constitution.

[00:42:14] We have that discussion.

[00:42:16] But the fact is, well, if the code says blah, blah, blah, I'm going to enforce it.

[00:42:21] Well, okay, so what if the code violates baseline principles?

[00:42:25] We go the rounds over that.

[00:42:26] But here's the deal.

[00:42:27] In this particular case, there was no law.

[00:42:31] There was no legislatively created situation where there was a, you know, you could say, well, here's the ordinance.

[00:42:40] Here's the number, blah, blah, blah.

[00:42:42] No.

[00:42:43] They went on a mandate.

[00:42:44] Mandate.

[00:42:45] What's a mandate?

[00:42:46] It's a minorical declaration of power over the people.

[00:42:52] And it violates every Americanist principle.

[00:42:55] See, if people like this sheriff don't know the difference, first of all, in the laws of the land, the Constitution being the one along with their state Constitution, they take an oath to uphold.

[00:43:08] They take an oath to uphold it.

[00:43:09] And there's no constitutional authority for what happened.

[00:43:12] There's no state authority, no state constitutional authority.

[00:43:16] And there was no ordinance law.

[00:43:19] You know, one, two, three dash five, two, whatever number.

[00:43:24] I'm making it up, of course.

[00:43:26] It didn't exist to write on the ticket.

[00:43:29] And you say, well, so how did you fulfill your duty on that one?

[00:43:34] And it really was a false arrest.

[00:43:38] And yeah, yeah, yeah, they released the charges.

[00:43:41] Well, they made their point.

[00:43:43] They got their big splash.

[00:43:45] They shot their warning shot across the bow of all the pastors out there that were going to hold church.

[00:43:50] And it had the effect of chilling religious liberty.

[00:43:54] We're talking about First Amendment stuff here.

[00:43:57] So here's a sheriff that's going to do the drug enforcement agency that's going to, I mean, drug agent.

[00:44:04] What the heck are we talking about in terms of federal responsibility?

[00:44:10] The federal responsibility ends at the border.

[00:44:13] If there's going to be interdiction and that kind of thing, if there's going to be enforcement, it's done on import issues.

[00:44:22] Okay?

[00:44:23] So it's a trade issue.

[00:44:24] They're violating our trade laws.

[00:44:26] But once it gets in the county, once it gets in the state, the national has no perspective on this because constitutionally it has never been delegated.

[00:44:37] And I could go back and we could quote St. George Tucker about how law enforcement was left in the hands of the states and local agencies.

[00:44:46] And it is not a general government responsibility or power or authority or anything you want to say about that way.

[00:44:53] So here's a guy that's going to be enforcing the federal authority of the DEA.

[00:44:59] Okay, if you're interdicting illegal somethings, you know, whether it's cotton or drugs or airplane parts at the border, the federal government has a responsibility to do that.

[00:45:12] But it ends at the border.

[00:45:13] It does not go metastasized with, how shall we say, strings attached all across the nation and how they're driving local agencies and so on and so forth.

[00:45:27] Think back about Mack and Prince on this Brady Bill thing that they took the Supreme Court and won.

[00:45:34] The federal agency cannot direct the local police forces.

[00:45:39] That was what it was there.

[00:45:40] But the outcome of this is the feds cannot direct anything within the state's jurisdictions.

[00:45:49] That's everything that wasn't delegated to the general government.

[00:45:52] And that's the jurisdictional boundaries we're talking about.

[00:45:54] But Donald Trump literally put this sheriff in place.

[00:45:58] I think it's a disaster.

[00:46:00] And you kind of wonder why.

[00:46:01] And there's some tie to, and this is, I don't understand it, but whatever.

[00:46:06] Donald taps his daughter, Tiffany's father-in-law.

[00:46:11] I guess the guy's name is Massid something to be in the Trump administration.

[00:46:15] Trump also taps longtime ally Kash Patel to lead the FBI.

[00:46:21] And Charles Kushner.

[00:46:23] That's Jared Kushner.

[00:46:24] So another one of his father-in-law, or whatever you want to say, daughters, father-in-laws, or whatever, appointed U.S. ambassador to France.

[00:46:31] This is getting weird, Dr. Bradley.

[00:46:35] Well, that Kushner appointment probably bears discussion much longer than we have left.

[00:46:42] I'm very concerned about how some of those family ties fit in.

[00:46:48] And honestly, with France being at the epicenter of some of the Middle Eastern immigration stuff and everything,

[00:46:55] and some of the things that the Kushners are interested in in the Zionist movement in the Middle East.

[00:47:01] And, you know, I don't know.

[00:47:02] I just have, to me, it's like, holy cow, where does this stuff come from?

[00:47:07] And you can't make it up.

[00:47:08] And what you've got to do is kind of start your pick-and-shovel work and find out where the heck all the connections are, you know.

[00:47:17] But it's a weird world we're in right now.

[00:47:19] And to the victor goes the spoils is kind of the thing.

[00:47:23] And what was it?

[00:47:25] Andy Jackson, back in his day, kind of lived by that patronage kind of thing.

[00:47:31] And there shouldn't be patronage.

[00:47:33] These people that are coming into these jobs should bring a valuable skill set with them to conserve the interests of the nation,

[00:47:42] constitutional interests, I might qualify, conserve the constitutional interests of the nation,

[00:47:47] and not simply be a, how shall we say, a good old boy's reward for a buck and a half that got donated to the cause,

[00:47:57] or something else that might be even more nefarious than that.

[00:48:01] But this kind of stuff, we need to start looking at federal assignments as people that really come in

[00:48:09] and can contribute to the genuine betterment of the country, constitutional betterment again.

[00:48:15] Or are they just good old boy, handshake and a pat on the back and a kiss on the cheek and they send them in there?

[00:48:22] You know, it's just astonishing.

[00:48:24] It's just like payback and weird stuff, and I just don't understand why you would put both of your daughter's father-in-laws in your administration.

[00:48:30] I don't care if they're attorneys or valuable or whatever else you would think to avoid a conflict of interest and everything else.

[00:48:36] Why would you do that?

[00:48:38] I don't really understand it.

[00:48:40] It seems like a mistake to me.

[00:48:41] But Trump also taps longtime ally Cash Patel to lead the FBI.

[00:48:47] A lot of people are losing their minds over this, and Cash basically says this FBI will end the growing crisis

[00:48:55] and the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the vibrant criminal gangs,

[00:49:02] and stop the evil scourge of human drug trafficking, human and drug trafficking across the border.

[00:49:12] What do they get Cash Patel in place, doctor?

[00:49:14] Well, I know that, I mean, there's FBI agents saying they're going to resign if he gets put in there,

[00:49:19] but here's the deal.

[00:49:21] First of all, the FBI is another police agency.

[00:49:24] You know, I mean, could they become the Gestapo?

[00:49:26] I don't know.

[00:49:27] Is he going to be a new gorean over that?

[00:49:29] You know, and I make these analogies and you say, oh, come on, this is a real stretch.

[00:49:35] But the point of the matter is we do have lots of crime and everything like that,

[00:49:38] but the approach, the solution is not found in, you know, a federal police force that runs across the states

[00:49:50] in brown shirts or jackboots or whatever you want, analogy that you want to, you know,

[00:49:55] imagery that you want to get in your mind.

[00:49:58] And you just say, where?

[00:50:01] How does all this suddenness power get accrued?

[00:50:05] And again, going back to the Hitler thing, I know you've got to go back to go forward.

[00:50:09] Oh, they have this desperate times.

[00:50:12] You know, got a communist trying to burn down their parliament, their Reichstag.

[00:50:15] I mean, it's like so suddenly we go on this rampage and we put a federal police force in place.

[00:50:23] It's we're just on thin ice.

[00:50:26] And these guys make all these claims and people don't even know that there's no there is no constitutional authority to have a federal police force.

[00:50:35] Well, for example, Kash Patel leaving the FBI and they call him the retribution guy.

[00:50:40] He's going to go ahead and, you know, do political payback to the enemies of Trump and all this kind of stuff.

[00:50:45] And I just think, you know what?

[00:50:46] That's not the place.

[00:50:48] I get that you want to stop the criminals and I get that you need to prosecute people to the fullest extent of the law and all that kind of stuff.

[00:50:54] But I want to be very careful when we start talking about retribution or payback or this and that.

[00:50:59] It's not the proper rule of government.

[00:51:01] It's not OK.

[00:51:02] I hope cash, you know, has a little bit of a softer touch in some ways.

[00:51:07] That doesn't mean I don't want to get to the bottom of the criminal activity.

[00:51:09] I do.

[00:51:10] And I want accountability and transparency.

[00:51:11] But we need to be very careful that we don't cross those lines either.

[00:51:15] Because remember, ladies and gentlemen, even if you're for it in this case, when the other guys get in power, you're going to be less for it than you were.

[00:51:21] And every time we expand presidential power, every time we expand downstream cross checks and balances, people, in other words, people that have authority to be kind of judged during executioner, we run into a buzzsaw of problems because it violates the Constitution everywhere.

[00:51:39] And it turns us away from God Almighty.

[00:51:42] God can take care of that retribution part.

[00:51:45] We need to be on the accountability, the humble side of that discussion for sure.

[00:51:49] Good news is Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, as you know, are going to be in charge of Doge.

[00:51:54] That's a group outside government that will be recommending spending cuts.

[00:51:57] I support it completely, have my worries about how it will all go down.

[00:52:01] But now I guess Senator Rand Paul has joined the two of them, and they're leading the fight to cut wasteful government spending.

[00:52:09] I feel a little bit better that Rand Paul's on that, as well as Ms. Green.

[00:52:14] The two are going to be helping from the House and Senate side as they work on this thing.

[00:52:18] Some pretty good picks there, Doctor.

[00:52:21] Well, you certainly have some, how shall I say, dogs on a bone.

[00:52:27] I mean, throughout the time that they've been in office, they have absolutely been gnawing on that bone

[00:52:33] and trying to get some reasonable approach to our financial situations.

[00:52:39] Hopefully something will be able to be done.

[00:52:41] Again, I just hope it doesn't take Rand Paul off the Fauci discussion.

[00:52:46] We need to put Fauci in prison.

[00:52:48] Nuremberg trials, round two, need to happen.

[00:52:51] We do.

[00:52:52] And the fact of the matter is that if laws have been broken, we need to pursue that and take it to ground.

[00:53:00] Due process needs to happen.

[00:53:02] And if Fauci needs to spend the rest of his life in prison, so be it.

[00:53:07] We don't just vengefully go about it.

[00:53:09] You know, the Lord said revenge is mine.

[00:53:11] But if there were criminal acts that occurred, mortal law and justice needs to be served also.

[00:53:20] And so we don't close our eyes to it.

[00:53:24] The fact that Rand Paul and Green are there is hopefully a good sign because both of them have tried to, you know,

[00:53:35] rein in the dogs, if you will.

[00:53:36] I keep going back to dogs for some reason, rein in the dogs in regards to this landslide of expenditures that we seem to be putting up with now.

[00:53:47] You know, if Trump is going to cut, you know, taxes across the border to people, we've got to cut.

[00:53:55] We've got to cut expenses, too, or else we're going to just see the deficit balloon even more than it is now.

[00:54:03] I support cutting spending drastically, shutting down government departments that aren't constitutional as fast as possible.

[00:54:10] And most importantly, I support this idea that we use the supreme law of the land as our guide.

[00:54:15] And ladies and gentlemen, I think that we can get rid of a lot of the taxes.

[00:54:18] And then I think some tariffs would be appropriate.

[00:54:21] But if you put tariffs on top of it all, it will not go well.

[00:54:27] By the way, President Trump-elect Donald Trump threatened on Saturday to propose 100% tariffs on countries that back bricks.

[00:54:40] I think that's a mistake proposal as well.

[00:54:43] Right?

[00:54:43] We're out of time.

[00:54:45] God save the republic.
