1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Seven oh six, Bitty five kersee the talk station. Very

Speaker 1: happy Wednesday, Action packed Wednesday here on the Bitty five

3

Speaker 1: Kerse Morning Show, packed with guests, and today I always

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: look forward to for a variety of reasons, not the

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: least of which is right now the Big Picture with

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Jack added in the brilliants of Jack adit in coming

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: through every Wednesday at this time. It is appointment listening,

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: and I hear from listeners all the time. Jack. They

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: love your commentary. Welcome back, my friend, in a very

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: happy new year to you and your beautiful bride, Ainsley.

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: Sin Jackson, that's what you call me. Thank you, Bril,

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: and happy new year everybody. We're planning to talk about

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: the completely opposite way Democrats and Republicans see people. The first, Brian,

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: can I offer a few thoughts about Venezuela.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: Love to hear him, Jack.

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: There is a legitimate dispute, even among Trump supporters, about

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: a president's powers as commander in chief under Article two

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: of the Constitution. Yeah, but remember, as I know you do,

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Congress under Article one has not declared war since Pearl

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: Harbor eighty four years ago. Harry Truman, a Democrat, relied

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: on the UN not Congress to fight the so called

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: police action in Korea that killed fifty four thousand Americans

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: over three years. Lyndon Johnson, another Democrat, was knee deep

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: in Vietnam by the time Congress passed not a declaration

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: of war but relatively the Gulf of tom Kin Resolution.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: The Vietnam War killed at least fifty eight thousand Americans.

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: Closer to Venezuela in every sense. Republican George H. W.

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: Bush the Elder invaded Panama with twenty four thousand US

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: troops on the ground, extracted and prosecuted Panama's Manuel Noriega,

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: and installed an opposition leader, all without seeking Congressional authorization

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: and with the courts upholding his actions. Noriega had been

32
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: accused is sound familiar. He'd been accused of drug trafficking

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: and threatening America's interest in the Panama Canal. For Senior

34
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: called his invasion operation just cause there's more. Democrat Bill Clinton,

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: with authorization from NATO not Congress, bombed the hell out

36
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: of Slobodon Belosovich in Yugoslavia. Slobo only gave up when

37
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: Clinton threatened without Congress to put US troops quote back

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: on the table. Then, Yet another Democrat before were teacher

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: of constitutional law. You figure knew something about this stuff.

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Barack Obama launched more than five hundred and forty separate

41
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, killing soldiers and civilians,

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: including American citizens. And that's not including strikes in the

43
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: undeclared war zones of Iraq, Afghanistan, Seas, and Libya, all

44
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: without a peep from big mouth congressional Democrats. Last, and

45
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: by all measures least, Joe Biden or his auto pen

46
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: raised a bounty on the head of Nicholas Maduro. Good

47
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: old Joe would never kill anyone. He just hires somebody

48
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: to do it. And hiring somebody to kill an head

49
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: of state probably is an act of war. Fellow Democrats

50
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: once again said nothing, folks. My point is that undeclared

51
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: wars for seventy five years have been made, waged when

52
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: it was still at least the possibility of bipartisan authorization

53
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: now in twenty twenty six, No one who follows politics,

54
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: certainly nobody in your brilliant audience, Brian, believes Democrats would

55
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: ever back any action by Donald J. Trump. As recently

56
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: as a year ago, I would have bet against New

57
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: York Senator Chuck Schumer selling out Israel to Hamas, Yet

58
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: the Senate Minority leader cannot or trying to retain power,

59
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: will not even back Trump peace agreements in the Middle East.

60
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: So where does that leave us in a constitutional mess?

61
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: The president is not only commander in chief. Article two,

62
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: section three of the Constitution also requires that presidents take

63
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: care to faithfully execute the laws, including drug laws allegedly

64
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: broken by Narco terrorists, as pushed it against Noriega. So yes,

65
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Congress has the power to declare war, but the need

66
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: to declare war is still debated, even under the nineteen

67
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: seventy three War Powers Resolution. Personally, Brian, I believe in

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: the Constitution, but I also believe the Constitution is not

69
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: a suicide pact barring any possibility of consensus of compromise.

70
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: I do not believe in paralysis. Ultimately, I believe in

71
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: the ballot box, as Maduro and Putin and Jijiungping do not.

72
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: If voters disagree with an American president about these disputed issues,

73
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: they can vote for a new Congress every two years,

74
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: including this year, and a new president every four years. Meantime,

75
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: the inability the unwillingness of Congress to act at least

76
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: when a Republican is in power, I believe stems from

77
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: something other than the Constitution. Congress is driven by the

78
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: entirely different way Republicans and Democrats see people. So maybe

79
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: we can talk about that next.

80
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: But I did want to pass on to you or

81
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: my comment in response to judgment of Paul Aitana's column,

82
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: which I'm going to be talking with him about a

83
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: day thirty and not surprisingly the same subject matter, the

84
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: extra constitutional waging of warrens by what the Constitution say.

85
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I said to you, asking him sort

86
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: of rhetorically, are you and I merely dinosaurs with our

87
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: respect for the Institution? I said, I speak with so

88
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: many people on the topic of war and always end

89
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: up runningto the same conclusion decades as you just went through,

90
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: of unchecked consequence free unilateral decision making on matters of

91
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: war now serve as a legal justification for further unilateral decisions.

92
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: I even suggested to it's almost like the concept of

93
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: waiver estopel or latches. You know, if you let something

94
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: go long enough, you can't assert the law as you know,

95
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: as a vehicle to stop that from happening again. No,

96
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: we've been doing this for so long you've waived your

97
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: right to make the argument. You get back to mazag

98
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: Day and in fifty three Ellen Days seventy three you

99
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: mentioned Norjegen eighty nine. You could go through a whole

100
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: bunch of others. I mean, even the Bay of Pigs.

101
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Was that an authorized military force to overthrow castor after

102
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: we helped them, you know, win in Cuba, don't know.

103
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, Brian, in fairness, I didn't include

104
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan and Grenada exactly. Of course, a much more

105
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: limited action.

106
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, go ahead, now, you and I could

107
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: put our minds together and talk about a whole bunch

108
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: of actions along those same lines. That's an excellent additional point.

109
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: It just seems that all the you know, the designated

110
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: strikes in these foreign lands with missiles, as you mentioned

111
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: with Obama and everybody else seemed to doing. And I

112
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: concluded with it seems that congressional in action, in other words,

113
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: ignoring the Constitution is perhaps the desired accepted norm across

114
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: the political spectrum. The Democrats do it when they're in power.

115
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: The Republicans scream and wail and moan about the Constitution,

116
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: yet do nothing by way of congressional action or anything

117
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: else to stop it from happening. And then look who

118
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: put the bounty on Medoro last year, Joe Biden? Was

119
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: it twenty five million or fifty million dollars? I mean,

120
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: if there's a bounty on someone's head, doesn't that mean

121
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: you expect someone to go and collect the bounty after

122
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: grabbing the head and bringing it forth. Who's going to

123
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: do that? Nobody but the American military is going to

124
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: enter into a foreign country and grab the leader. Yet

125
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: there it was the dangling carrot of a bounty out there.

126
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: So we make good on it through the Trump administration,

127
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: and they scream and yell about it, and yet you

128
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: don't see really anything happening in respond. So it's sort

129
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: of this inaction and it allows for the expedient mechanism

130
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: of dealing with what you talked about that you know,

131
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: you don't want the Constitution to just you know, turn

132
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: us into this easy sitting target. But it is still there.

133
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: The authority rests with in Congress. I just think they

134
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: prefer it this way because it's well, they have to

135
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: face the voters. They may get voted out of office.

136
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: If they do vote in favor of military action or

137
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: against military action, they don't want to have to deal

138
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: with it. They wash their hands of it, blamed it

139
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: Trump or whoever the sitting president is, and go about

140
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: their merry business.

141
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: I always feel, as I bet you drew two pell

142
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: when we're talking about the good Judge Napolitano, that I'm

143
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: back in law school, and I certainly don't want to

144
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: disagree with the professor. It's hard enough just to try

145
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: to answer his questions. But a few thoughts. Judge Napolitano,

146
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: who's probably about my age, doesn't remember Jefferson sending the

147
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: Marines to the shores of Triple Le, Libya to free

148
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: Americans and fight Barbary pirates. But sumably he would have

149
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: opposed that two hundred years ago, not long after the

150
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: Monroe Doctrine was propelled by President James Monroe. And I

151
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: assume that Judge Depolitano was against the idea of refusing

152
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: to let Europeans colonize our hemisphere as today Cuba, Russia

153
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: and Red China and Iran. I have tried installing surrogates

154
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: in Venezuela, and that's what we put a stop to

155
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: you know the thing. It seems to me, Brian, and

156
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: maybe we can talk about this next week. There are

157
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: certain people who remind me of my old friend, the

158
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, who can prove to you why

159
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: it's impossible to move from point A to point B.

160
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: I won't give away the answer to that famous riddle,

161
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: but we cannot, as I say, paralyze ourselves. And I'm

162
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: not sure that I agree with the premise of what

163
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: you're saying, that the Constitution is clear on the president

164
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: not having the power to act militarily. I do agree

165
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: with the idea that kN whereas not necessarily with conscious deliberation,

166
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: but obviously setting a pattern, do not oppose presidents when

167
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: they simply don't want to get involved.

168
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: Let's pause, will bring Jack back. He had a comment

169
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: or two that we didn't get to yet. How democrats

170
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: see people. Will pause, bring Jack Avidani back with the

171
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: big picture. We'll call it Volume two. This morning, First

172
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Foreign Exchange, your premier European and Asian Imported Automotive Automotive

173
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: Vehicle specialist as he certified Master Factory Train Technical seven

174
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty five KRCD Talks agent right times. With Jack

175
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: add in, we pivot over to his perception of how

176
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Democrats see people just real quick, the Monroe doctor. And

177
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: that wasn't a legal document, it wasn't a treaty, it

178
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: wasn't a statute. It was a foreign policy statement by

179
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: President Monroe, which, of course, if you want to agree

180
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: with and follow through with that foreign policy statement involving

181
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: matters of war, you might expect some measure of Congressional involvement.

182
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: But now you've got the donro doctor where he's trying

183
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: to shore up this hemisphere and keep the Chinese out

184
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: and keep the Russians out. I understand the concern and

185
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: the predicate for that, but you know, it is a

186
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: foreign policy statement. He is responsible for foreign policy. But

187
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: along with that comes well taxpayer dollars and military resources

188
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: and all the things that go along with, you know,

189
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: establishing and following through with any given foreign policy statements.

190
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: I'd had to say that out loud, Jack, because we

191
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: talk about the Monroe doctrine. Is if it's almost part

192
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: of the Constitution, but it never was.

193
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: Big Don is acting on the Don Rohe doctrine, and

194
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: if Congress doesn't like it, they can act as exposers,

195
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: of course, can act in November, and I'm afraid they

196
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: might in a way that we don't like. But we'll

197
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: see anyway. Let's move on from war and talk about

198
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: something really important. Tis the season for losing weight, or

199
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: at least for resolving to do that so we feel

200
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: better and also so people see us differently. Let's consider

201
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: this in the context of politics, the very different way

202
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: democrats and Republicans see people. You and I and most

203
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: folks who tune intend to agree about most things were

204
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: constitution conservatives and libertarians. Many of us are Trump supporters,

205
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: Maga populists. Those are not just labels. They define how

206
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: we see the world. While we may differ sharply on

207
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: certain issues, including Venezuela, we embrace what I call the

208
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: American idea that power tends to corrupt, and absolute power

209
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: corrupts absolutely. Therefore, like the Founders, we demand a government

210
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: that protects the god given rights of individuals and allows

211
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: us to pursue happiness and prosperity as we see fit,

212
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: so long as we don't infringe on the rights of others.

213
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: We believe in bottom up government. In sharp contrast, today's

214
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: big government socialists see individuals very differently as members of

215
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: their collective. In his inaugural speech, New York's new mayor,

216
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: Zoran Mamdani just promised to replace quote the rigidity of

217
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: rugged individualism with a warmth of collectivism and in New

218
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: York if he gets his way. Democrats claim they care

219
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 2: about people, especially needy, downtrodden people victims, but they do

220
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: not seek to empower them. Take education. Democrats and power

221
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: not students and parents, but teacher unions, which benefit from

222
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: keeping children illiterate. The worse their test scores, the more

223
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: taxpayer funding they demand. In Baltimore, a Democrat run city,

224
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: as most big cities now are, including Cincinnati and Dayton,

225
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: public schools spend more than twenty one thousand dollars per pupil.

226
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: Teachers make on average between seventy two and ninety nine

227
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: thousand dollars plus gold plated pensions, and yet the overwhelming

228
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: majority of students in Baltimore cannot read or do math.

229
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: When the schools push them through graduation anyway, the kids

230
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 2: lack basic skills to support themselves. So as Democrats intended

231
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: all along, these students will be wards of the state,

232
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: and Democrats will rake off the top a hefty percentage

233
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: of the welfare spending students received throughout life because the

234
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: Democrat collective collects campaign contributions, kickbacks, crony contracts for donors,

235
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: and outright bribes. Nancy Pelosi's father was mayor of Baltimore.

236
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: That's where Nancy learned the racket. That public servant and

237
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: her husband Paul are now worth more than four hundred

238
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: million dollars. We could connect the dots in the same

239
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: way when it comes to big government spending on healthcare, housing, food,

240
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: the entire life of Julia. That's what you remember Obama

241
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: called his cradle to graves spending plan for voters rich

242
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: and poor, who were thereby made totally dependent on totalitarian government. Folks,

243
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: think of the irony, the despicable irony Democrats not that

244
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: long ago, with a party of slavery Africans being kidnapped

245
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: and shipped here so they could work. Now, Democrats support

246
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: millions of illegal immigrants invading this country so they can

247
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: live off the collective. Representative. Ilan Omar's net worth has

248
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: jumped from approximately zero when our Somalian family were granted

249
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: asylum to thirty million dollars with their husband today is

250
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: it coincidental that fraudulent government funds for Somali preschools and

251
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: other programs in Minnesota total more than nine billion dollars

252
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: in counting. Democrats, who used to shackle slaves now enslaved voters,

253
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: from illiterate inner city students without fathers, to academics enslaved

254
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: by liberal orthodoxy, to so called journalists who have to

255
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: tow the liberal line, to multi national business owners who

256
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: defend so called free trade that ships vital industries off

257
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: to US China with its starvation wages and terras on

258
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: American imports. Brian, the essence of Democrat politics is to

259
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: dehumanize individuals and make them abjectly dependent on the state.

260
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: For now, I can come on your show and talk

261
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: about this, But what will happen if Democrats win Congress

262
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: this November and the White House in twenty twenty eight

263
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: and America returns to the British model of outlawing free speech,

264
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: which is what they're doing right now. Look, Republicans are

265
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: not perfect, and when we champion the American idea, when

266
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: we resolve as our founders did to protect individual rights

267
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: and responsibilities, America can still lead the entire world into

268
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: a golden age, including those dictatorships that are attacking America

269
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: as Maduro did with the aid of Cuba, Russia, Iran

270
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: and communists China. Until that happens, it's not enough to

271
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: celebrate seventeen seventy six. We need to speak out, donate,

272
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: and work. You do this every morning. So what do

273
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: you say, my friend?

274
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: I say, There's not a word I could utter that

275
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: can improve upon what you just got done saying. And

276
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna encourage my listeners to grab a hold of

277
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: that podcast link at fifty five krs dot com and

278
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: share Jack's words with your friends. Jack Atherton as always

279
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: profoundly brilliant. A love you man, Happy New Year. Will

280
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: do this again next Wednesday with another big picture and

281
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: I can't thank you for being on my program.

282
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: Can't wait.

283
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian, Happy New Year again. Seven twenty six,

284
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: fifty five KRSD Talk Station,
