Well.
Now that the Reds have been eliminated from postseason play, there's simply no debate. Reds fans have to find a way to support baseball, and you can adopt a Yankees fan. Oddly enough, there's one coming up next. My name is Chuck and I'm a Yankees fan. And the Judge has paid for this message. Chucking ramon fifty five KARC the talk station.
Oh that was beautiful. It's a thirty fifty five krc D talks dayson employment. Listening time with Judge added Apolitano every Wednesday on the fifty five Cars Morning Show fifty five cars dot com for the podcast after we're done, welcome back your honor. Always my favorite time of week.
Thank you, Brian, And what a pleasant comment from Chuck Ingram. Very much appreciated. Then we'll see where the We'll see where the Yankees go.
Well, are you optimistic at least?
Oh? Yes, optimistic? My goodness, Aaron Judge almost broke his own home run record, their pitching staff finally came around and the last third of the season. I'm quite optimistic.
Yes, well, and of course you shot me a comment yesterday. Rest in peace, Pete Rose, of course, one of the greatest baseball players to ever live. Controversial man he was in his life and his post baseball hours. But you cannot deny that man played a great game.
Oh god, he might be the best all round. Now that Joe DiMaggio fans are not going to like this, he might be the best all round baseball player or ever, certainly in the modern era. I'm not one of those people who believes that somebody like Pete Rose should be kept out of the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame measures a person's skill in the game, not their personal morality. If you looked at the personal lives of many of the people on which find a lot of
things objectable, but that's not why they're there. They're there because they excelled at the sport.
Recording in progress. Fair enough, all right, moving over to matters political before we dive into your column, which I am always pleased to receive in advance, comes out tonight, deal or no deal. More on getting and the plea
agreement that didn't happen. I have to ask you, as I started off with Congressman Thomas Massey, given that the Iranians launched missile strikes directly into Israel and the idea that somehow we the United States might be engaged in a direct military conflict with Iranians, we got two carrier groups in the region are going to be soon in the region. We helped shoot down some of the incoming
missiles from the Iran into Israel. Question marks about whether the United States is going to be embroiled in a military conflict with Iran War Powers Act. You and I have discussed that before authorization for use of military force. We've talked about that before actual constitutional declaration of war. If we're going to start bombing Iran, it seems to me that we need to declare a war against them.
Well, I agree with you fully. By the way, Congressman, I listened to the entire interview you did because Joe Strucker was kind enough to let me know that Congressman Massey would be on. And you know what, He's enough to make me want to move to Kentucky just so that I can say my congressman, not just my friend,
but also my congressman is Thomas Massey. I can't even think of anything that we disagree on, and I can't even think of anything that he does or says that doesn't have me beaming and my heart swelling with joy for his for his personal courage. So I had to comment on January sixth, the federal law enforcement is utterly and totally corrupt. They always charge people with more crimes than they think they can they can convict of just to flip them by scaring them with jail time so
that they will become witnesses for the government. They've been doing this, probably for forty or fifty years now, since the Supreme Court green lighted it. It's a form of bribery, absolute bribery. Say what we want you to say in the witness stand, and we'll give you this benefit. It's if defense counts did that Defense Council would be in jail. But prosecutors get away with it, and Congressman Massey is
courageous enough to expose it. He's also courageous enough to argue, now back to your question, that Iran poses zero threat to American national security, Hesbola in Lebanon poses zero threat to American national security. We have signed two treaties that say we can only declare war on a country that poses a grave threat to American national security. You think
Congress will abide those treaties. Probably not, Because Thomas Massey and another a group of libertarians and a group of progressives of the exception, but most of Congress is bought and paid for by the donor class. Witness the fifty eight standing ovations that Prime Minister Natsa. Naho received more than FDR more than Ronald Reagan, more than Douglas macarthurur
more than Winston Churchill. It's a charade, and it's only a matter of time before some president Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump brings us into a war with Israel to satisfy the donor class that we helped Israel expand their borders. You won't see a declaration of war because Congress doesn't want to embarrass itself. It'll just look the other way while the President does whatever the hell he or she wants.
Well, and that's to me just frightening. I mean, in essence, we were under the leadership of a king in that regard, no accountability, no representation by our elected officials, no say in the matter. We're gonna drop bombs, gonna drop bombs. This has come up in the context of us doing just random missile strikes and any given land we find somebody that we don't like.
Correct. I forget which Supreme Court justice it might have been Robert Jackson, who said, without the declaration of war requirement in the Constitution, the president has a loaded gun in his desk drawer, and he can take it out and shoot it at any time he wants, a bit of a hyperbole, but the point is clear, Madison wrote, the Constitution said. If we don't separate the war making from the war waging, then we haven't created a presidency. We're back to having a monarchy if the king can choose
the target and wage the war. But that's what we've had since World War Two. The president chooses the target, Congress pays for it. The only time they gave him a hard time was LBJ in Vietnam, a horribly useless, destructive, immoral or. And then he faked the Gulf of ton Kin incident and got the Gulf of ton Kin resolution, and then he sold Fanny May and Freddie Mack and used that money and his legacy first because of it. But fifty two thousand American boys are dead.
That's true. And then there's of course the weapons of mass destruction used as a pretext to well start a war with a country that we didn't have an immediate challenge with.
Correct. I know of two former FBI agents who were asked to leave the White House because they told President Bush that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction and then both resigned from the CIA after he announced that they did and used it as the pretext for an invasion that was a disaster. It ended up slaughtering Iraqi peasants and destroying what remained of that society.
Well, would you like to talk about your column? Deal or no deal, or maybe we'll have a go at John Kerry and his disdain for the First Amendment.
You know, there's a lot of disdaining for the Bill of Rights lately, and I've never I don't recall hearing this in my adult lifetime. I remember reading incidents during World War One. Woodrow Wilson the First Amendment. Carrie disdains the First Amendment because he believes, somehow, some way there should be a law against misinformation. Donald Trump wants to amend the First Amendment so as to allow Congress to criminalize flag burning. We're not talking about burning your neighbor's
flag or burning the government's flag. We're talking about burning your own flag, which, just a Scalier wrote, the flag stands for your right to burn it. It is just a piece of cloth and just a symbol, and you can express your opinion of that symbol. Donald Trump also wants to amend the Fifth Amendment to remove due process for criminals who are caught in the act, saying the police should administer the whatever punishment they choose right there at the scene of the crime. That always gets a
round of applause until they catch the wrong person. Yes, and that's your nephew. That's why we have these protections in the Bill of Rights.
Well, going back to the Feds baiting people and entrapping them, if you're going to meet out justice on the in the moment once the you know, the federal job, the agents ague you on to sort of commit some trumped up crime, and what meet out justice right then and there when the individual really wasn't largely responsible for his or her actions.
Correct? Correct? That allows the Feds not only to create crime and punish the crime they've created, and prosecute the crimes they've created, but punish the crime that they created. And Congressman Massey or you, I forget which one of you mentioned. Governor Whitmer, I'm not a fan of Governor Whitmer at all. But the plot against her was totally and completely concocted by the FBI. That's what the first
jury found. Then of course they tweeked the case and tried it a second time, and those guys got convicted all because of this opinion by Chief Justice Renquist that allows allows these allows government stings. And of course once the Feds are allowed to do this, the States pick up on it as well. My column, a lot of people couldn't care less about to get I do. Whenever the government is trampling due process rights of a hated and reviled defendant, it is time to watch out what's happening.
Because if they can do it to a hated and reviled defendant, they can make a defendant hated and reviled and make it easier to persecute that person. And the politics that has reached deep into the trial in Guantanamo Bay is unforgivable.
I will strongly encourage my listeners to get a copy of his deal or no deal comes out tonight. Oh what a tangled web we weave judging freedom. We always end on that. I did want to draw your attention. I intentionally wore this shirt. I try to wear a nicer shirt when don't speaking with you because we're on video, make or well fiction again.
