55KRC Wednesday - Jack Atherton, Brigham McCown, Massie, Judge Napolitano

I certainly do. Because it being Wednesday. We get Jackatherdon big story with Jack and added and coming up at seven oh five. Don't know what he's want to talk about Santa's politics. It's real, they're interesting. So we'll hear from Jack on that insightful, brilliant man he is. And I always enjoy having Jack on the program. A dear, dear, dear friend and good man. Bring him Accowen Hudson in stud he returns. He's been on many times over the years. Today,

Trump's energy policies. Gregham certainly knows about energy policies. Congressman, my favorite hour of radio. And today at eighth five, Congressman Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Aninapoulatana. Today, Congress mass He's going to be speaking about Syria, his opposition to Trump's choice for the DEA head and uh Elon and Vvk Rama swim in the Doge program, which I embrace.

I think it's an awesome idea. Just because Elon and Vvik say it, just because Elon and Vivek identify it, just because Elon and Vivek say it's a waste of money doesn't mean Congress has to act. But being outside government and not intelected capacity and not drawing a salary

from government. They're just like I don't know, like op ed opinion commentators, but elevated to a level of national focus given their prominence and their unbelievably amazing business prowess as demonstrated by their well, absolute wonderful success in the world of independent private business on their own and doing whatever they can to make money. They're very successful, so they know how that's accomplished. So I'm not sure what

Congress mass He has to say about it. I'm looking forward to talking with him, So stick around for Radio five on half and then judgment Politano, will Trump stop domestic spying? We can only help, but I doubt it's going to happen. And it wasn't quite sure where I wanted to start this morning, And for some reason, I have this wonderful op ed from Corey Brooks noted pastor.

I have United Health executives shooting, heightens debate over three D printed ghost guns, and then this whole thing going on in New Jersey as well as elsewhere about drones flying around. How do those three lay on top of my stack to dive on into this morning? Well, I'll see if I can make any sense out of it, and I'm not quite sure I can. First off, just you have to we live in an insane period of time.

Technology has advanced so rapidly that I think mankind is just as incapable of keeping up with it, or coping with it, or dealing with it. And it's the coping part that I was thinking of. All Right, there are drones out there. You can't stop the fact that there are drones. You could buy one yourself, Go ahead, hop on Amazon and buy one. Of course, government has much greater resources and money and can make them work together

and coordinate them. And of course they have the money and technology to mount firearms on them and bombs on them and use them in warfare. You and I can't do that yet, I underscore the word. Yet. I imagine there's going to be a time, not that far down the road, and probably within my lifetime, where I could go online, buy a drone and mount some sort of weapon on it by myself without a license or in spite of a law or license requirement, and do some harm with that.

been a little difficult. You also would have had to pay Mobel or some telephone company for the additional expense of a long distance call.

But you know, the world is a smaller place and the information is abundant. It's everywhere, and for those with the resources or underscore the word motivation to do harm to another human being. You know, you can print a gun and shoot a CEO in the back? Is that going to be transformative for the world? As I see all these journalists, you know, praising them, college professors praising

this murderer of a CEO. United Healthcare exists for a reason, and you know, you may hate them for what they do. They do deny claims, but they manage claims and they try try to allocate what are genuinely scarce resources the dollars to pay claims when claims are properly payable, and deny claims when they're not. Have you ever notice there are a lot of physicians out in the world that will well, maybe order too many medical tests, maybe keep you in the hospital for too long. A lot of

nefarious actors out there, top to bottom. It's not just the CEOs of United Healthcare, which we're trying to maintain the company. Oh my god, but he makes millions of dollars. Yeah, I know, Is that right?

I probably wouldn't take it. But this advance of technology is something that seems to me we're either not capable of dealing with, or alternatively, it's just being used for nefarious purposes in lieu of technology that didn't exist previously. For example, as I read the story about ghost guns and the genies out of the bottle on that, it's kind of one of the reasons I even brought this up.

You can't unring that bell. Blueprints are out there, and do you think taking away three D printers would solve the problem. For all the good that they do and all the amazing things that those are capable of on a nonviolent, non nefarious level, No, I think society's better off because we have three D printing technology. Hell, they basically three D print buildings. Now it's pretty cool if I've ever seen that, by the way, it's rather amazing.

But that it can be used for nefarious purposes, people freak out, like, oh my god, I got to do something about this. The drones flying around over New Jersey? Where'd those come from? No idea? Are they nefariously being used? Are they being used as spy or is it just some chucklehead out there who's got a brand new drone and he's flying around car Ajuago golf course or flying around New Jersey just to kind of freak people out for the sake of getting in the press. I don't know.

But they're out there and you can't unring the bells. So we're gonna have to learn to evolve as a society and deal with this technology. But fundamentally, it's the motivation that's the problem, isn't it. Where do evil people come from? Why are they willing to do this kind of thing. Is it the technology itself that motivates people

to evil or do they harbor evil intent? And then just look around and say, you know what about twenty five years ago, I couldn't three D print myself a gun, but I could go down to the local sporting goods store and buy a baseball bat, or go down to the local hardware store and buy a hatchet and walk up behind some guy walking down the street in New York City that I think I need to kill for some stupid reason and just hit him in the back

of the head with it and kill him. And as close as this idiot was, he could have done that. I mean, you've seen the video. He's like five feet behind the CEO and he just shoots him in the back. If he'd took four steps forward and had a hatchet in his hand, he could have put it in the back of the guy's head and would have had the exact same result. Why did he do it? Just killing the CEO of United Healthcare? Change the healthcare system?

was right. I just this, I don't know. I'm just as I stare at my stack this morning and looking around, it just seems to me so much insanity and people pulling their hair out over really the realities of the modern world that we live in, and that the evil people which have existed since Cain slew able right, you can go back to the beginning of time. If you're a biblical person, you leave that actually happened, That was

a real event. There's always people with chips on the shoulder to think it's the right thing to do to murder someone. You're not of my tribe.

to begin this morning. But Corey Brooks says, this wonderful op ed piece about Jordan Neely's father playing a role in his death, and boy did he hit the nail on the head on that one. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred two three talk. It is five to eighteen right now, fifty five kc DE talks they should be right back.

you were an idiot during life. Right makes a good point, though, But opportunity for redemption revealed to Ebenezer Scrooge because he was visited by three spirits in the night, changed and transformed his life. Sometimes there's no one around to do that, right. So with that, I turned to Corey Brooks, who's a pastor known as the Rooftop Pastor, founder and a senior pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago, CEO of this thing called Project Hood helping others obtain destiny and that

and he has a mission is a Chicago pastor. So he writes, Jordan Neely's father played a role in his death. Don't ignore America's fatherhood crisis. And this is where I substitute the three spirits for the fathers that are absent in the lives of young people. The ones that are there to provide guidance. And if you watch Christmas Story, remember Ebany's the Scoos was left at school. All of the schoolmates went home for Christmas, and for whatever reason, his dad was a total fill in the blank with

your favorite FCC no compliant word. He wasn't invited, he was left alone. Maybe that had an impact on his life and why he turned into into such a jerk in life later.

by her abusive boyfriend. The murderer left her body in the suitcase on the side of a New York City Henry Hudson parkway. Young Neely had to testify in court on his mother mother's behalf imagine how that traumatizes the young mind. Then he was immediately placed in a foster care As an orphan, one is lucky to find love or human compassion within the foster care system, and it

is likely that Neelie did not. Despite possessing enough talent to impersonate Michael Jackson on subway platforms throughout New York City, nearly struggled with homelessness, drug abuse, and mental health issues including depression and schizophrenia, who is also arrested forty two times for petty larsony, jumping, subway termstyles, and three assaults on women. When he finally met his fate in the New York City subway, car and marine veteran Daniel Penny

was charged with his death. New York City leaders from Representative Alexandria Casio Cortes and Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado shut up. At a funeral, activists and MSNBC host Al Sharpton delivered eulogy where he predictably blamed systemic racism for Neelie's death. At the time, I said this would be again, Reverend Corey Brooks.

care system? Where was he all those years when his son was in the system? Did he visit even once? Where was he when his son got out? Where the heck was he when his son was dealing with his demons all by himself and drifting in and out of homelessness? And now he shows up when his son is cold and buried. To be clear, he didn't show up for Jordan. He showed up for himself. Andrea Zachary was ever a father in any meaningful way and does not deserve that

precious title. This angers me in ways that most people wouldn't understand. I minister and work on the South Side of Chicago, and I understand more than most. How detrimental the absentee father has been to our community. I work with them every day. I counsel them on how God has blessed them with children, and how it is their sacred responsibility to be there and raise the child. I

provide these young men with pathways to opportunities. I've seen them leave paths of destruction to become forklift operators and construction workers. Some have even returned to college while working a full time job. And you see, that's where I pause and made the connection with the Christmas story. This man is basically the three spirits who visited Ebenezer Scrooge in the night, providing counsel and guidance and direction for men who have obviously lost their way.

then where would we be as a society. That is why I stand here and hold Andrea Zachary fully accountable for his actions. He played a role in his son's death. That is what he needs to acknowledge if he wants to make it right with a far higher power than money, God. If he chooses this unholy pursuit of money, then we must make an example out of him. Pastor Corey Brooks, thank you for the inspiration. Five nine fifty five car C detalk stations stick around, got local stories coming up.

Beard Bridge aka Big Mac Cornehammer County Court records. Terry Styles, Zachary Stump, and Caitlin Hall arrested yesterday in connection with the fire at the one thousand Hands playground in Sawyer Point Park. Officials said none of the people arrested are homeless.

That's where his words are written. Despite the fire sparking new debate about homeless encampments around Cincinnati, it has been widely discussed behind the scenes by folks in the know that may aftamp Pervall may have removed the homeless from the Greater Cincinnati area and directed them to beneath the Big Mac Bridge in order to clean the place up. For blink. I don't know if that's true or not. I've just heard that so many times now I'm starting

to believe it. You draw your own conclusions anyway. Court records show that Zachary Stumped twenty three Terry Styles thirty nine, now facing aggravated arson charges based on video and witness statements both in health to Hemlin County jail gourd to court doguments. Stump intentionally set a fire on a playground located underneath an interstate overpass. Styles also intentionally set a fire at eight oh one East Pete Roseway, quote creating a substantial risk of serious physical harm to all of

the mosts above. And this I thought was odd, including the driver of a freightliner flatbed toe truck. Now how they singled that particular vehicle out for specific targeting, But they got to prove it in court anyway. A court record show Hall facing two counts of obstructing justice after she allegedly gave misleading information to investigators about Styles and Stump during the arson investigation. Hall also currently booked at

the Hamilton County Justice Center. Hall quote was asked questions about styles telephone number and his whereabouts, and she gave the investigators false information. Another court document says she was asked questions about her friendship of greater than six years and denied knowing Stump's last name, when in fact she was where of that information Style Stump Hall expected to be in court this morning for those folks that don't

have anything to do. Oh congratulations. Another editorial comment from Joe Strekker, Hamilton County loses again and real quick here at Kentucky Governor Andy Bisheer announced the major investment in their states food and beverage industry. Chick fil A Supply is planning on building a one hundred million dollars distribution center in Ellesmere, Kentucky. It's expected to create one hundred and seventy eight jobs over the next five years. Congratulations

widely reported. It was in the local stories. Joe Burrow's home got broke into while he was playing football. And to my listeners out there who think it's a bright idea to go ahead and post on social media that you were leaving town and going out of town for the next couple of weeks, probably not a good idea. I mean, everybody knows the Bengals football schedule and knows that the players will be out of town or at least occupied if they're playing at home at Peykhorse Stadium,

meaning maybe no one's home. And in the past, you know, it was something that the criminals used to do. They would read obituaries and find out where funerals were going to be and break into people's homes while they knew you were at the funeral. That was the old school way to do it before the internet. Don't voluntarily tell everyone you're not going to be at home.

Twenty three year old allegedly shot his mom and killed his dad after an argument about a video game as well as getting a job.

About two am following day, Orlando Police Department spotted a vehicle to match the description of the car that Joseph Voight fled his home in. They conducted a felony traffic

Deputy said that while questioning Joseph Vod in custody, he admitted to shooting his parents after an argument in which quote his father was upset with him about spending the majority of his time playing video games and writing his ass about making something of himself and getting a job close quote.

He'd been previously arrested for firing a weapon in a residential area and battery, but the authorities did not disclose what charges he faces in connection with that incident.

before finally landing upon her head. She later told the local news that she is still experiencing a variety of symptoms, from neck pain to anxiety in the incident has had a damaging impact on her health, setting herself up for probably a lawsuit, although it's much more difficult to suit people in the UK than it is here, said she's considering legal action against the chain.

fixed for less money. That's what it's all about. A foreign exchange, A love reminding people of that Foreign Exchange. It's great going there. You know, in fact that Foreign Exchange wasn't less expensive than my dealer. Still go there because the people there are awesome, friendly folks taking great care of you. And Austin and his trained asse certified master technicians will fix your car. You will get a full warranty on parts and service. And even if you

have a Tesla, that's right. They're trained now to service Tesla automobiles. So if you've got one, take it to Foreign Exchange to get it less than would cost you to take it to the Tesla dealership. Whether you have a traditional Asian or European manufactured imported car, Foreign Exchange is the place to go.

Following the Buckeyes loss Big ten find Ohio State and Michigan one hundred thousand dollars each of the team's role in the fight, identified as I don't see you got to get an award this morning, Joe, I'm waiting to see a few roll a. State Representative Josh Williams, Republican out of Slovania Township, introduced the Ohio periods after each Ohio Sportsmanship Act yesterday, and according to Columbus because Dispatch, he could not be reached

for comment, maybe because he was cowering recognizing how stupid this felon e bill would be. House Bill seven hundred would prohibit planning a flagpole and flag in the center of the Ohio Stadium football field on the day of a college football game. And to name this act the Ohio Sportsmanship Act.

that went wrong. Value of the pies estimated at twenty five thousand British pounds that be thirty two thousand American food items. Owned by Tommy Banks, a restaurant tour hero owns to Michelin Start Establishments, vehicle which was filled with steak and ale pies as well as turkey and butternut variety,

supposed to head to a Christmas market in York. Theft for the pies caused a stir on social media earlier in the week, leading Banks to call on his followers to find the lost pies, phrasing thieves, keep your eyes on the pies, Banks wrote on x before the van was found. Help find the pies. Let's try and recover them and feed some people. You also asked the thieves to do the right thing and drop the pies off at a community center so the food wouldn't go to waste.

Pies were left in the stolen van, he said, but were too damaged to be eaten or sold. He confirmed the van was insured, but was bothered by the loss of the pies, calling you so much waste, it's just rubbish. Sorry, it's not a happier ending to the story. In a related incident in October, a group of thieves that posed this wholesale distributors sold stole over nine hundred and fifty wheels of English cheddar. Heaven and a rather unusual morning here on the morning show, forgive me and just roll

with it. We've got some great guys coming up, including Jack avid in and enjoy hearing from you, So feel free to call in at the six o'clock hour plenty to talk about I'll be right back after the top of the hours.

Jack's talking about today The brilliance. Jack Addan revealed the topic Santa's politics. Follow by seven thirty. Wouldrigh McCown on the Hudson Institute about Trump's energy policies. Maybe it'll be saner than the Biden administration's policies. A great hour eight oh five. My favorite back to back interviews Congressman Thomas Massey.

Here we talking about Syria, his opposition of Trump's choice for the DEA head, and his thoughts on Doge, the Elon Musk VvE Gramma swimming effort to pair back the size and scope of government. I have to imagine he's in favor of that. I can't think of a reason why Congressman Massi wouldn't welcome that kind of thing. We'll find out together. And of course, Judge Enna Polatano every Wednesday a thirty, will Trump stop domestic spying? I wouldn't

hold my breath waiting for it. That is the topic of his uh OP ed piece.

with the aftermath of that. And I can only hope that it turns into perhaps a coalition government, a stable form of government where each of these warning factions might have a say in the direction of the country, although I wouldn't hold my breath thinking that's going to happen.

Christopher Smith Aman with an excellent Smith event on the Daniel Penny acquittal, which he of course approved of the acquittal that is, and going back to the op ed piece by the Reverend that I'd read in the top of the hour, maybe if Dad was around, rather than just a little gloming on with a civil lawsuit after his son with whom he had practically, if not zero relationship, a bit of an opportunitist.

have one. And with the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, an opportunity for a lot radical left wing college professors to chime in and praise, praise the murderer, Luigi Mangioni for killing the United Healthcare CEO who was doing nothing but his job, a job that he was paid for it. Maybe paid too much, that's your decision. But I suppose if you're under threat of death constantly because you work for a health insurance company, maybe you

need to be paid that much anyway. In addition to college professors, social media flooded with posts celebrating or mocking Thompson's killing as justified because some people are angry about their health insurance claims being denied. And I understand being angry about it. It's a complicated system. Ask yourself why at today a complicated and try to look back in time.

We didn't have massive health insurance companies and the government intervention wasn't so widespread that the cost of doing business and healthcare went through the roof over the years. And there's also plane eff lawyers out there which helped, and there's some unscrupulous doctors out there which helped. We'd go on and on and on about the problems inherent in

the system. Anyway, after Mangioni, the murderers alleged taking the custody you penned, Professor Julia Alexsavia close enough shared her thoughts and opinions on social media, which she probably shouldn't have done it. She posts under the name the Soviet, which I think gives you an indication of her political affiliation. Anyhow, have never been a producer, A prouder to be a

professor at the University of Pennsylvania, she re quoted. She's an assistant professor of English and Cinema and Media Studies at the university. Identifies herself as a of out socialists and ardent anti fascist on her website. Anyway, after celebrating the murder of the CEO. Obviously, there was a lot of response to that, much of it negative, and of course she had to remove her social media posts after

posting them, so she has an opinion like everybody. It's quite revealing though, and honestly, I'm glad we have the Internet so these idiots can go ahead and make stupid statements on them, so we know exactly where they stand, celebrating the murder of an innocent man merely for doing his job, which allows me to pivot over to the Wall Street Journal again, the editorial bird commenting on this the madness of Luigi Mangione, sort of continuing the theme

for the last hour, and they write the rest of the twenty six year old Luigi Mangioni in the charge of murdering the Healthcare ceo ends the hunt for the mysterious man with a hoodie. But what it doesn't solve is the mystery of why an intelligent, well liked young man who had much to live for would allegedly shoot a stranger in the back on New York City Street. When possible explanation is the had some kind of mental break,

as many young men do in their twenties. The fact of his life in recent years are coming fast and perhaps too furious to trust on the fly, But it appears that a back injury followed by surgery had left him in pain and frustrated. He'd become isolated from family and longtime friends, as many young men also do. He trafficked in theories of exploitation and blame that dominate the corners of the Internet. He saw wisdom, not madness, in

the writing of Ted Kazinsky, the notorious unibomber. The manifesto that mister Mangioni allegedly wrote and the authorities say they found on his arrest railed against the US healthcare system. Perhaps he saw himself as an avenging hero who would take on the system. This is a common trait of young men, and they are mostly young and men who

justify violence with the perverse logic of a cause. It doesn't take much for a disturbed individual to pick up the populis theme of blaming seemingly distant and faceless corporations for social ills and flipping a metal switch into murder. Internet sites and podcasts on the right and left often marinate these resentments. Yet the man mister Mangioni shot was neither faceless nor distant. He was Brian Thompson, a married father of two who was walking to a business meeting

several feet away from the shooter. He was doing what his company, United Healthcare and its shareholders asked him to do. He was like the Unibomber's targets, innocent. I don't know if he recalled the unibomber. He would send these handmade bombs to random college professors. They would open them.

avenger instead of an allegedly deranged killer college professors. But that is how our culture has degraded, agged on for political purposes or audience ratings by many who know better. Ryan Thompson's sons will never see him again. Mister man Jenny face is a murder charge in New York that could send him to prison for the rest of his life. Anyone who sees that as anything other than a tragedy deserves the scorn that we hope they receive. Amen well,

Or your free standing stove, self feeding wood waste pellet stove. That's what it's all about. Chimneycare fireplaces. Though since nineteen eighty eight, a plus of the Better Business Bureau can inspect it make sure it's all safe. They'll do a video camera inspection of the flu make

my god, this is so cool. And of course it's just gotten amazingly more graphic and more realistic and all these different, you know, different types of games. And then you couple that with the online interaction with other people. You know, you're screaming and yelling at each other because I've witnessed this playing these exciting video games. It just takes away everything else. You get this endorphin rush and you it's almost like you need to be there and

play it. You're drawn to it, of course, as your point me to the exclusion of everything else. You're not reading, you're not expanding your brain, and you're just ramping up to try to get to the next level. And that's all that, that's all that your life is boiled down to. It's scary and no wonder we've got so many kids with so many mental problems these days. It's all they are doing.

it is it's it's frightening. And I don't think many parents really understand their wood into the games and the educational value supposedly, and you know, it's it's very easy to hand your kid. I mean, you go to a restaurant, You're going to see a whole family on their electronics. Oh my heart, it kills me.

out when we're having dinner, period, end of story. Rule will not be broken except in some court of you know, like justifiable circumstances, but only after we have a conversation about whether or not the phone should be pulled out. I mean, well, how do we exist before the damn cell phones were around? I don't know, but we made it this far. I'm fifty nine. I remember before we had them. We didn't pull them out during dinner because

there wasn't one. We actual engaged in conversation. And some of the best things in my life in terms of my learning, my education, my expansion, and my knowledge and wisdom, logic and reason, happened over dinner table conversations with my dad and mom and sister. That's where you exchange thoughts and ideas. You learn about your day, You learn about what people are doing. You learn about maybe challenges and frustrations that your kids are having. You can't do that.

The freaking phone is out, and you're right. You go to a restaurant these days, everybody's sitting around looking at the damn phones and not talking to each other. What's the point. Why did you make a lunch appointment with someone? Why did you decide as a family to go out to dinner If you're just gonna stare your phone, stay home, save the money, or make it a rule in your house that at least during dinner time you're not going to be on social media. Can you manage that for an hour?

And third, there's also showing Assad had large warehouses full of crystal mep so apparently he was one of the largest man manufacturers of crystal math in the Middle East, so they claim, and they actually have videos of that, so that's for funding.

And you say it, you know, a few years ago, and your ostracized and your thrown off, and your posts are deleted, and then you find out that, no, you were right the whole time. Yeah, I've seen this stuff on the Insider training and God knows what's going on behind the scenes, but you know, I saw the story. Barack Obama came into the presidency I think with a value of one point seven million dollars and when he left he was

worth thirty some odd million dollars, and it was a story. Oh, here we go. Let's see. Clinton entered the White House one point three million nineteen ninety three. By the time he left he had one hundred and twenty million dollars. Barack Obama started his presidency in two thousand and nine with a net worth of one point three million dollars. It grew to seventy million dollars after he left office.

How can that be? Well, maybe there is something to insider training, you think, Maybe, just maybe Nancy Pelosi and United Health do have some sort of relationship from what I've been reading. Maybe we'll find out, although, as I say that, we didn't really find anything about how Clinton made his money or how Barack Obama made his money while occupying an office that paid I think right now four hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually, a sum which

President Trump, soon to be again, has turned down. He is not going to take a salary six thirty eight. Feel free to call five one three seven fifty eight hundred eight two three call Talk Zimmer.

No, I'm excited about the doge hole concept with Elon Musk and Vivate Gramma swam me with no official government positions, no official salary, sitting in an unofficial room that taxpayer dollars are not paying for and figuring out ways to cut the size and scope of government. What an awesome,

awesome concept. And thank god we have people like Elon Musk and Viva Gramma swam Me who've demonstrably shown the world that they are awesome business people using their intellect to make large corporations employing literally thousands and thousands of people and providing the world with apparently with products and services that the world demands, ergo, making them the heapsloads of money keeping their businesses lean and efficient. Boy, if you only had people like that that could bring those

talents to the federal government. Oh, look, there they are doing that. Going back to my comments about the presidential salary, Trump was interviewed by somebody who was described by.

And the point was it was his commitment to fiscal responsibility. Obviously, Donald Trump has enough money in his bank accounts, even after being the victim of law fair and every single leftist prosecutor and judge trying to liberate the money he has from him, including that ridiculous lawsuit about the valuation of real estate. What's your house worth? What is your house worth? Go ahead, tell me No, it's not. You're wrong. What do you mean I'm wrong? Well, I looked on Zillo.

You're wrong. Your house is worth what someone is willing to pay for it on the day, Yes, shake hands and sign the sales contract. That is the one moment in time that you know what your real estate is worth. What do they do to Donald Trump? Well, he said his scope was worth blah blah blah, and that was an outright lie. He was dealing with sophistic financial institutions who have their own real estate appraisers. It was an arm's length transaction between sophisticated parties. And yet they went

after him. They accused him of lying and committing crimes. Why well, because he's Donald Trump. That's why nobody else would have been subjected to that. And the banks that loaned him the money got paid back completely with interest. Unlike those people are getting their student loans fulfilled. They're not fulfilling their obligations. They're having it wiped away. They didn't pay the interest that they promised to pay. They're having it wiped away. Why cause well, somebody needed votes.

Donald Trump goes to a bank and says, I want a loan. They say, well, what are you using as collateral? Here's mar a lago. What's it worth? I don't know, nine gajillion dollars. Well, let me take a look at it. We'll decide for ourself whether it's sufficient collateral for a loan. Yeah it is. Here's your money, and pay it back by X number of years. Donald Trump fulfilled his contractual obligations.

Those banks testified in court they weren't out a dime, they were not harmed in any way, shape or form. And yet Donald Trump has found liable for what hundreds of millions of dollars. Tell me that's not, in and of itself, the prosecution under the circumstances, in and of itself a crime. But his commitment to fiscal responsibility is the reason he waived his salary. That was his point.

Rather than keeping the compensation, he donated it to federal agencies, including the National Park Service and even the Department of Education. And again going back to former President Bill Clinton, according to Newsweek, showed up with the White House of the net worth of one point three million dollars back in

nineteen ninety three. And you may think that's a lot of money, but if you go ahead and consider all of your retirement savings and the value of the real estate that you own, if you own some, and your cars and your stuff and your things, you might surprise yourself and how much money you're actually worth on paper. Anyway, how did he end up leaving the White House with one hundred and twenty million dollars? How how is that possible?

Barack Obama again one point three million dollars when he shut up with the White House ended up with seventy million dollars again Newsweek. I'll take Newsweek at their word on this one, not that I normally would, but I'm sure the figures and facts are all out there, and they may be off just a little bit here in

this reporting. But the reality is, you enter into the White House and you make four hundred thousand dollars a year, How in the hell can you turn that into seventy million dollars and move away from those chuckleheads and start looking at I don't know, maybe Mitch McConnell, John Bainer, and Nancy Pelosi, we could go down the list. There's a lot of folks in politics making heaploads of money even though their base salaries would never under any circumstance

that you and I would be living through. We could not parlay that money into this kind of well growth less for trade and cattle futures. Oh that's right. That was corrupt too, now, wasn't At six forty nine fifty five kr C detalk station, that has a distinct stench about it, doesn't it. You know how I'm turning that into a commercial for oto exit, the stench of politics. Oto exit does not work on that, but sures all works on any kind of odor that you normally will encounter.

Pat oder, human odor, dogs, cats, the whole nine yards, mold and mildew and smoke. They have products to get rid of all of those, and they will get rid of it. And I know that for a fact because not only have I used them over the years, I've heard from multiple listeners over the years that yeah, you know what, I was surprised it actually worked. It comes with the one hundred percent satisfaction guarantee. You buy the odo exit product, you use it as directed and for

whatever reason. Here's a little a pro tip for you with oto exit. If you try it for the first time and you think it didn't work, call the toll free number and tell them what you did and what odor you're dealing with, and they can give you some suggestions because again one hundred percent satisfaction guarantee, they're willing to give the money back if it does not eliminate the odor you're trying to eradicate.

it's sold and idiots sold all over down. Odor egsit dot com again works on everything except the stench, the powerful stench of politics.

As my dad used to say, What do they do with him? They slow walked the investigation. So, yeah, he did not declare income and he did pay back what income tax he owed after after the statute of limitations had expired. On the vast majority of the cash at lanted in his pocket and the pockets of a number of the Biden family members, as we have been to explain to or have been told if that was you

So, yeah, there was special treatment for Hunter Biden, not in the form of lawfair, not in the form of going after him for things that you and I wouldn't have gone after. For a matter of fact, I was filling out my FFL form yesterday for my Christmas President. I was on the phone with my mom and I got to the law where it's said you addicted to drugs or whatever naked. Oh look the Hunter Biden why question. Yeah, we we

would be prosecuted. Oh no, not Hunter Biden. Six fifty five coming up in six fifty six, coming up on top of the hour News, after which the brilliance of Jack Atherton. His topic today Santa's politics plus Briga mcawan from the Hudson Institute on Trump's energy policies. That'll be at seven thirty. I sure hope you can stick around your voice.

Into the Great Depression, Huey Long ruled Louisiana, first as governor, then in the US Senate. The Kingfish, as he was called, was a populist, but unlike Donald Trump, Huey was a left wing populist. Huey Long filled Louisiana governor and its government with political cronies, and then demanded that they kicked back part of their salaries. His Share our Wealth program

set a cap on all salaries public and private. We distributed property and pushed massive public spending, so massive that Franklin Roosevelt, to keep Huey from challenging him for the White House, spent just as much. Huey famously promised that he'd put a chicken in every pot and make every man a king. He told that his socialism was unconstitutional, the Kingfish said, and I quote, I am the Constitution told the same thing about his new deal. FDR threatened

to pack the US Supreme Court. Ultimately, Huey Long was assassinated by the son in law of the judge that Huey pushed into retirement. Today, Coach Brian Kelly can thank Huey Long for putting LSU on the map with a lot of spending, and also spending a ton of money on other public works. But the Kingfish also left a legacy of boss government in Louisiana and making millions of people dependent on handouts. Huey Long was a white Santa Claus.

Black demagogues have done perhaps even more damage, Brian. For decades centuries, people of color were denied equality under the law. Nobody is denying that. But once America atoned for that sin by winning the Civil War, passing three amendments to our Constitution, and then finally the Civil Rights Acts of the nineteen sixties. True civil rights leaders like doctor Martin Luther King Junior did not want to play Santa Claus. They wanted black people to be treated as equals, not

as perpetual victims. But Doctor King was soon replaced by the likes of Reverend Al Sharpton. He became famous promoting a black girl who who lied about being raped by whites. Sharpton still believes not in character but in identity politics.

We have discussed for years Brian so called civil rights inspired laws that showered unwed black mothers with welfare so long as there was no man living in the house, that destroyed black and many poor white and Hispanic family formations like as you have been discussing this morning, Jordan Neely's no man in the house. That was not the vision of doctor King. That was not even the vision of Santa Claus, who rewards good little boys and girls and their fathers of every race, creed and color, for

all of our shortcomings. The United States of America was founded on virtue, the limited decentralized government set out in our actual constitution. That limited decentralized government is what Donald Trump's right wing populism is trying to restore. Because Donald Trump is not Santa Claus. He has promised to preserve social safety nets, including social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. But

Donald Trump is not a demogogue. This president wants boys and girls to grow up to be responsible parents who can raise their own boys and girls and buy them presents themselves, maybe pretending that they were left by Santa Claus, but knowing that those presents and the roof over their heads and the food on their tables all come from a booming economy, equal opportunity, and hard, honest labor. That's why more and more men and women of all races

voted for Trump. And having a president not a demagogue, is the best president, best present as well that anybody can get.

and gradually the system decays and falls apart. Now I say that thinking about in the back of my mind, as I'm sure you're probably already anticipating thirty six trillion dollars in national debt and growing with no and in sight. That's one of the reasons why I'm so excited about this whole concept of DOGE. Someone's got to put the

brakes on it. And if you've worried about your own personal favorite program, the thing that you are hooked up to the umbilical court of governments of providing you whatever thing bread and circus or whatever you're getting, you might want to be concerned. But in the broader scheme, the government has gotten so large in size and scope that

they can't even account for the money that they spend. Jack, they did how many audits of the Defense Department now and they still haven't been able to account for the money they spend. Our own government doesn't know where the money went. That is I'm sorry. There are two words, and I can't utter them on the radio except the second one, which is up.

to China. They created the Huey Longs and FDR. But as we've discussed, Otto von Bismarck, no big liberal, as the head of the United Germany in the eighteen seventies, gave Germany a social safety net in the nineteenth century. What's different about Trump is that he wants the smallest freest government that's possible, with a social safety net, a reasonable one, not a hammock, to give all Americans the freedom to succeed.

that program financially, it actually worked out on paper. Now what there are three workers for every Social Security recipient. They're paying out more than they take in. It's a recipe for collapse. I understand, and I appreciate the fact that people are reliant upon it because they have lived their life with the promise from government that they would

be getting a Social Security check. Fine, you must fulfill that promise because people have, you know, based and built their entire financial you know situation, you know, their savings, their their their their retirement expectations on the idea of getting a Social Security check which they paid into. Unfortunately, the system isn't working out over the long haul, and it is destined to collapse by every government you know projection, whether from the left or the right, all of the programs,

all the analysis says this is unsustainable. So what we need to do is create a different future expectation, give people some flexibility. You want to be in the Social Security program or would you rather invest that monthly so that that withdraw from your paycheck into your personal financial retirement account where you could probably end up doing a

lot better in terms of return on investment. Jack, I don't know what you paid in over the years of your working or what ultimately I have paid in over the years. But I bet you that if all the money that they had taken out of my paycheck for the Social Security program I had in my personal retirement account earning interest and getting a compounding interest return, I will be in a lot better position than whatever I'm going to end up getting from Social Security. And you know,

everybody read your Social Security form. It says right there on the front, this is an estimated payment of what you can get when you are retired, but don't count on it. It's not a guarantee, which means you know, you may be getting a lot less than what they have written on the piece of paper.

to what we were talking about earlier. We need to raise people who are responsible, who want to form families, who aren't paid off simply to vote for Democrats, quants and for establishment Republicans. People who want to be the kind of people that we had in the World War II generation who then spoiled their kids. And that's a whole different talk that we've had before, but who at least had the kids we're able to pay it into social security and build up this country for the next generation.

analysis of why it's so expensive to have children. But then there's that corollary where everything is built on, every piece of legislation, every activity that mankind engages in, always ends up going back to a discussion about global warming or climate change. People, young people these days think that, you know, children and humanity are a bunch of cockroaches

killing the planet. They have no desire to participate in a world where we are all personally responsible for the death of the planet some you know, X number of years in the future. If we just could eradicate that as a concept and start from scratch and just eliminate the discussion about exhalation causing our collective demise, maybe we might re examine the benefits, the virtues, the value of being parents. I'm a much better human being for having had my two children. It did cost a lot, yes,

of course it did. But it was a brilliant, brilliant, wonderful, joyous learning experience. It creates this love that you wouldn't have absent the children being involved, the satisfaction enjoy you get watching your children grow and develop. You don't have kids. You don't get that, and people can't. People just don't understand that. It boil it down to simple either monetary or global warming crapping ergo. No one wants to have kids anymore.

you saw a big movement toward Trump among men and women. Yeah, and that's one of the most hopeful things that's happened.

scan an MRI. You know it set in a million times five thousand dollars for a CT scan at a hospital. Really, how is it that they can charge so much when you can get the same CT scan the same type of equipment with a contrast six hundred dollars without a contrast four hundred and fifty at affordable imaging services. I mean, just let that sink in. Cost of medicine doesn't have to be that high. Why is the hospital charging so day much? Well, you have a choice when it comes

to your medical care. Just don't go there and find out ahead of time, you know, I know I got insurance, I go out insurance. Yeah, find out ahead of time what your payment, what your personal responsibility is going to be for that CT scan with an image, and make sure you get the cost of the board certified radiologists report because they'll probably build that separately. So this you know, well, the shoot you scan is going to cost X. Yeah

does that include the board certified radiologists report? Oh well no, that's going to be a separate charge, right Not at affordable imaging services where the ct SCAN with a contrast is six hundred bucks and it comes with the board Certified radiologists report. Same thing goes for the MRI four ninety five without a contrast six forty five with that's the most expensive image you can get at Affordable Imaging Services. An MRI I with a contrast six hundred and forty

five bucks. All is included, same kind of equipment, just super low overhead, and it's the images are all taken by people who've been doing this for decades. Save money, exercise your choice when it comes to medical care five one three, seven, five three eight thousand, five one three seven, five three eight thousand.

I love having you on the show. It's good to have you back on today. Well, Brian, thank you so much. It's always an honor and a pleasure. And I'm reporting to you live from our nation's capital this morning. Oh you're in the swamp. Huh.

Whatever you want, everything open, let's use that gas oil and coal, and if you want a windmill, do that. All the above kind of strategy in order to bring down our energy bills and create a more efficient energy system here.

self explanatory. But on our economy, you know, that's really where energy comes in, because you know, it is a huge component of what makes a country, any country, competitive or not competitive when you're trying to build and sell things. And I think that's something a lot of the world has forgotten. And we've seded this to China and to some extent some other places of people that don't like us very much. It's very odd, don't you agree?

And because of that, they want to take all our money and redistribute it. They want to kneecappus. They want us to commit this suicide in the name of global climate change or something, so we flatten out our economy so the rest of the world can. Well, we can join the rest of the world and be equally poor. I mean, it sounds conspiratorial, but that's the only conclusion I can be left with, Brigham.

And you cannot save, cut, conserve your way to prosperity. That's not how it works. And I think he gets well, I know he gets that, and his new administration gets that, and hence the make America great again.

counting on. But regardless of the reasons your bills are going up, I don't see any end insight to that. And even if they didn't go up, let's just say theoretically they went down, they can go down a lot further if you have your home properly insulated with USA's premium foam, highest OAR value foam in the market.

Again, my daughter, my favorite example, late seventies build old R twelve that was when it was installed, and it doesn't even have R twelve anymore. So we got the phone for them for a housewarming gift, and now they are enjoying the comfort and savings brought about by the phone in the exterior walls. You can do

the same thing. Get a free quote, and remember right now, you may save more than the cost the monthly payment for the phone, because it's only ninety nine dollars a month interest free, and there's a lot of folks out there that have saved more than that, so call it a wash. Or even if you don't reach the ninety nine dollars month interest free amount, you're saving some It ultimately pays for itself. Government wants you to do it

as well. They're offering you a twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit, which is like them writing you a check for twelve hundred dollars, so you can do that on your taxes next year and you're going to enjoy immediate comfort change the day it's installed.

fair trade with a country like China. They don't have OSHA, they don't have a regulatory scheme, they don't have an environmental protection agency, they don't give a crap about anything at all. They also have slave labor. So how is it you could ever achieve quote unquote fair trade with a country that has such a substantial advantage in terms of manufacturing at a discount compared to what our companies here have to deal with under our regulatory environment. Hut Brigham.

may not. They all have to swear allegiance to the state and that they will do everything possible to put the state first, including espionage, spying, stealing of intellectual property, all of that. And unless and until America can restore deterrence, military deterrence with Taiwan, economic deterrence, energy deterrence, that's how you get these people to understand you. You don't deal with a playground bully by ignoring them, right, you.

traded with them. They were isolated, and they fell apart and collapsed economically for a multitude of reasons, but most notably because we wouldn't engage in commerce and industry with them. We choked them off. And if the rest of the world decided to choke off the Chinese and they wouldn't be able to build their military industrial complex.

talk about a lot of these energy pieces. Just uploaded a new version of Charged Conversation speaking of Higheart Radio, where you can find it there or any other place you find your podcast, where we talk about some of the background and some of the political philosophy that has gotten into this this climate debate, and it's really not about climate debate, as you've pointed out, it's anti capitalism and a lot of people are starting to wake up

and realize they've been lied to. So point in fact that you just mentioned in our atmosphere, seventy eight percent of our atmosphere is nitrogen, about twenty one percent is oxygen, one percent is argone gas. That's the stuff that goes in neon lights. It's also harmless, although it is an oxygen and displacement that machines. When we get down to it, we have four to one hundreds of one percent of our atmosphere is carbon.

to various states for the purposes of carbon capture. And to see Republican administration officials in those those dollar receiving states fight to keep things like carbon capture just because it benefits their bottom line. There reveals the reality and

the nefarious nature of all of this. It's really just a it's wealth redistribution by another name, and it flows into the coffers of administrations regardless of political stripes, and once they get hooked on the opium that that is they won't let it go to our detriment.

you know you want nuclear fantastic. We're gonna need it all, and we're going to need it where it makes the most amount of sense. And the things that are economically viable are going to survive.

for over a decade. I was elected in twenty twelve and took office in November twenty twelve, and by the spring of twenty thirteen, I was already offering bills and resolutions to get us out of Syria. And we had a vote. We were going to have a vote when Obama was president on whether to go to war in Syria, to put US troops there, and people rallied around the United States and said, we don't want a war in Syria.

So we didn't do a war in Syria. But what happened and I've got to put I'm doing air quotes right now at my desk here in DC. According to the New York Times, we spent a billion dollars on a clandestine program in Syria after refused to vote to go to war there. According to the New York Times air quotes, we basically undertook an operation to destabilize Asad in Syria, and it was multi year, multi prong operation.

When Trump came into office, Pompeo basically reversed a lot of that, and then it all went back into place after Biden took over, And frankly, I would say probably when when Trump was there, it didn't completely stop either. I mean, the State Department, the Deep State was not going to be deterred by mere surface nuisance, i e. Elected officials. They kept on with this, and meanwhile, hundreds

of thousands of Christians were displaced in this country. And I'm not saying that you know that we shouldn't worry about the other people who were affected by meddling over there. We absolutely should. But Christians in the United States who might find themselves cheering this recent development need to understand. As you said, Asad was not a nice guy, but the Christians were much better off over there under him.

dollars trying to undermine the Bashar Ali Shad regime? I mean, what were we hoping to accomplish by doing that? Did we not think about what would happen if he did fault? Like what's happening right now?

or any of the things going on there. This was a proxy, proxy hot war, not a Cold War, but a continuation, I would say, of the Cold War, reigniting of the Cold War. And it was a proxy hot war civil war in Syria with American interests on one side, although I'm not sure what they were other than opposing Iran in Russia and Russia and Iranian interests on another side, although I'm not sure what those were other than opposing America. And in the meantime, you've got millions of people who

were suffering. So I think the people there are a lot of people in Syria who are just glad that it's over to some degree, but we don't know what's coming next. This terrorist organization that's running Syria at this point, again designated by our own State Department, the ones who did this as a terrorist organization, they started with al Qaeda.

Now they say they've severed their ties to al Qaeda and al Ustra, all this and that and the other thing but they're still comprised of the same rebels that they were when they were al Qaeda. So it'll be interesting to see what comes next. Maybe maybe the trains will run on time, maybe the buses will run, maybe the shops will be open. But we'll see. It's not

worked out well in other countries. And meanwhile, get ready, we're gonna hear all of these reasons why we need to take more refugees into this country from the Middle East because of what happened.

whether we would be entering into war with Syria. Was that a vote to declare war like is required by the Constitution or was it a vote to just sort of like authorization for use of military force, which I think is extra constitutional.

get a hundred phone calls as remarkable. Now I know, I just invited at least three dozen phone calls on my staff today, which is fine. We were listening. Operators are standing by. But we had one hundred phone calls a day for a solid week, and everybody wanted us not to vote to go to war or to do the AUMF and SIA. So what they did is the vote never happened. They quietly didn't vote on it at all because they knew American support wasn't there for it.

And then they, according to the New York Times, undertook a secret war in Syria.

you can't do that. We had votes in Congress. The timing of this is I think as soon as the November election results were in and Trump was declared the winner, our deep state and some of our global allies went into overdrive to bring this to a to you know, consummate the overthrow before Trump could get in there or Tulsi Gabbard or some of the other people who have questioned this policy of overthrowing a said, I mean, if if a turtle gets on a fence post, it didn't

get there by the by accident, right exactly. This cool. The timing here is remarkable, and I'm gonna call it for what it is. They just got this done before Trump could get in there and stop it.

a Charlie Fox trot. If I mean to be so bold as to call it that, Can I just ask it real briefly because we're gonna take a break, I'm and bring it back talk about the topics. But did we miss an opportun unity with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Soviet Union to just sort of make good and play nice with the Russians and sort of you know, maybe perhaps trading with them rather than just viewing them as the Soviet Union

just under different guys. Did we miss an opportunity because we've been playing nice with the Chinese, much to the Chinese benefit, since Nixon was in office. And look what happened to them. I mean, they did not become a capitalist country. They became our mortal enemy. Yet we still continue to trade with them. But I just didn't see that unfolding in Russia in the fall the Soviet Union.

but we also poisoned the well. And it's a shame because our real competitors in this next century are China is, China here and whatever alliance they can build, and they're working over time to do that, and we should be aligned with with Russia, frankly, instead of being fighting them, because China is It's ten times the power that Russia is. Whether there'sure economically or other than nuclear weapons, in every other category, China is a bigger threat than Russia.

the past seven forty seven southbound seventy one. They cleared the wreck on the ramp for west two seventy five, still working east to seventy five's ramp to northbound seventy five.

I know we have the free exercise of religon and guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution the United States of America, along with the right to assembly, freedom of assembly, and yet those were taken away by government officials. And at the time they did it, I was screaming in the radio. What you can't tell people they're not allowed to be running around on the streets.

You know, we had this nonsense in Kentucky. Our own governor Andy Basher sent the state troopers out to write down license plates and send them into local health authorities and put notices on windows and try to intimidate people into not going to church. But this sheriff in Florida did the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't think they vetted

him fully. And to Trump's credit, maybe the sheriff. The sheriff issued a press release saying I'm withdrawing my name, but Trump came out and said, no, I withdrew you're thanking for this. But that's not all that this sheriff did. I mean, in twenty twelve, this sheriff gave thousands of dollars to Obama. Okay, I presume he's a Republican now or Trump wouldn't have picked him. But somebody needs to

vet that kind of stuff. And also he had a de facto, de facto COVID vaccine mandate in his office because he said, if you get sick, if you're one of my deputies and you get sick and you need time off, we're not paying for it if you haven't had the vaccine, but if you've taken the vaccine, and we'll pay for it. So he was all around bad guy. I went out on social media. I asked my staff because I get fact checked. I mean I get fact checked every day. People would just love to catch me

being wrong. Unfortunately it doesn't happen because I checked my facts before I go out. We researched all this stuff on this guy, and within hours of him being named for this position, I went on a speaking of Syria, I went on a jihad to expose this guy. We cannot let him be in the DEA. The drug enforcement agency. He can't be running that he's a bad law enforcement officer. So went out on social media, got three million views on the tweet where I said he should be disqualified

for the things that he's done. And again, to his credit, Trump's said, after the public outcry, this is one instance where the people spoke and it mattered. You didn't have to go to the ballot box. People said no, we don't want this guy and all the wrongs. Yeah, and Trump said, yep, you're right, We're taking the name off the list. So hats off to the people.

going to be sitting down. I just kind of have this vision of them being in some unused government office building, pouring through the books and just saying unnecessary, wrong, no misspent, and just handing over to Congress to see what they do and so we can identify the good guys and bad guys, see where they cut. They make great recommendations. I assume they're going to and they'll point out the flaws and the and the government waste and abuse and

see and see what elected officials do about it. What's your take on this doge thing, Well.

something bad and they won't give us answers. Instead of saying we're not going to pay for your copier machine there in Office ONEAB, we say here's a new building to conduct your malfeasance in, and we build them a

new building. So, and by the way, I tweeted that, because Congress takes over on January third and the President is sworn in on January twentieth, we have seventeen days to pile up a stack of good bills on his desk, so that on his first day, I know he's going to do a lot of executive actions or more importantly, undo a lot of bad executive activity from Biden. He should be able to sign legislation mean that we have already done. And so I tweeted that and vivek Tech

to me. We go back, you know, we text back and forth, and he said which bills are you talking about? And I was like, Wow, I need to think about this, don't I before I send a tweet? So I said, the Rains Act is the first one that the Doge Committee should be after. That would save so much money because if and by the way, we've here's the other good thing about the Rains Act. Regulations of the executive

in need of scrutiny? Is it what it is? If there's a if there's an administrative rule that's being promulgated that costs more than one hundred million dollars to our economy or to our government or them combined, then it has to come back to Congress for a voes. It's not rule making, Yeah, it's lawmaking. At that point, let's draw the line in the sand. And that would be so great it would stop so many regulations that that

shouldn't be promulgated because they're basically laws. It would be the administrative branch overstepping their authority and costing money to the government and to the people. So that's the one that I sus proposed to of evight. That's like the first one we should do. And the good news about the Rains Act is it's already been through committee. It's already been marked up in at least two different Congresses that I know of, because it's come through actually my

subcommittee on Regulatory Reform on the Judiciary Committee. So we we already had a hearing on this, we marked it up, we passed it in the House. So I know on January third, we're going to have you know, it's it's ready. We're gonna have some new Yeah, we're gonna have some new Congressmen. But they can vote on this thing. It's been fully vetted, and then let's put that on send it to the Senate first of all, and shame them. Shame that this is.

getting ready to queue him up left to Judge. I know you do that. J loves you too. We all love each other cause yeah, we talk common sense and it's a rare commodity these days until we get to speak again, and I doubt it'll before the end of the year. So Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, best of health and a happy new Year, and we'll hit the ground running after the first of the year.

looks suspiciously like Rand Paul. The Judge's next Chucking ramon fifty five KRST the talk station.

Minister for Conducting Services during COVID nineteen. That is not someone who understands the First Amendment and the right to free assembly.

on everyone. He can dial back the NSA. He can prohibit the CIA from doing anything other than administrative work in the United States. He can tell Cash Ptel, his new director of the FBI, we're the business of solving crime, not predicting crime. No computer hacking, no surveillance other than that which is authorized by an Article three judge pursuing to the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. He can do

all that, but he won't. He won't because the intelligence community has its pause on him and on members of Congress, not on Commis Massey and Rand Paul, but on the vast majority of those in both houses and both parties who are terrified of what the intelligence community has on them and might reveal. That includes the Speaker of the House, who voted against all this surveillance when he was Congressman. Johnson then had a two hour secret meeting with leaders

of the intelligence community. Then came out of his office and said, I'm going to break the tie and vote in favor of authorizing the NSSA to spy on Americans and.

So does the government work for us or do we work for the government. Do the laws only apply to the people, or do they apply to the government as well?

a frightening, frightening reality. It's blackmail, it's black justice.
