Speaker 1: accident on southbound seventy one below Fifer is on the

Speaker 2: course that's you. Chuck Ingram was referring to welcome back
Speaker 2: here on It's a real pleasure to have you on today,
Speaker 2: and I got to give you credit, sir, probably the
Speaker 2: main reason I got out of bed this morning to
Speaker 2: come to work. I've been dealing with this just insanity
Speaker 2: of a cough. But between you and my doctor and
Speaker 2: my love and my faithful listeners, I'm holding up my
Speaker 2: extra strength. Coughs are up here, your honor.
Speaker 3: Without this, it's wonderful to hear your voice, Brian, and
Speaker 3: deeply moving that I should play even a tiny role
Speaker 3: in your deciding to get out of bed in the morning.
Speaker 3: I too, love these segments on Wednesday mornings, no matter
Speaker 3: what's going on in the world, because we are so
Speaker 3: simpotico in our view of the world. But thank you
Speaker 3: for coming in today. You actually sound fine from my perspective.
Speaker 3: I know you have a lot of whatever they put
Speaker 3: in cough medicine these days in you, but you sound fine.
Speaker 2: It is My doctor even told me that, pardon me,
Speaker 2: sometimes the pharmacist won't even fill this prescription. It's the
Speaker 2: good stuff. So I had it last night at eight pm,
Speaker 2: at last twelve hours, and it's really just now wearing off,
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to have any before I drive
Speaker 2: home this morning, because I probably get it pulled over
Speaker 2: from being compaired with it, but it does work.
Speaker 3: But the Chief Justice of the United States, William Rehnquist,
Speaker 3: was pulled over in charged with DWI because he had
Speaker 3: been taking painkillers for a slip disc in his back. Obviously,
Speaker 3: they dismissed the case because it wasn't DWI, but he
Speaker 3: was driving erratically. Yeah, well those things can happen.
Speaker 2: No, it's only a ten minute commute for me to
Speaker 2: get back home. Anyhow, you're honor, So I guess I
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you before we get into your wonderful art.
Speaker 2: It's always wonderful. Your column comes out of Midnight Tonight
Speaker 2: subject matter Gitmo continues to haunt. This is one an
Speaker 2: area that you and I have talked about many times
Speaker 2: and you've written on many times. Is extreme important. But
Speaker 2: before we get to that, I just wanted to get
Speaker 2: your reaction, and I you know Donald Trump, know Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: obviously he's president elect. Donald Trump really just pulled one
Speaker 2: out of the hat. He won the popular vote, which
Speaker 2: is amazing. Uh, and he's gonna he's already starting to
Speaker 2: act somewhat presidential, hitting the ground running, starting to declare
Speaker 2: people that's going to be in his cabinet and everything,
Speaker 2: but the Department of government efficiency. I am actually quite
Speaker 2: excited about this. I don't know what your feelings are
Speaker 2: about Elon Musk or VvE Grammar Swammy, but the idea
Speaker 2: that those two guys are going to be in charge
Speaker 2: of trying to cut out waste in government, that they're
Speaker 2: actually going to take a stab at doing that, I
Speaker 2: think that's room for optimism because I if I had
Speaker 2: to guess, I'd say you would agree the size and
Speaker 2: scope of government has got a little bit out of hand.
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is that nobody pays attention to the Constitution.
Speaker 3: I mean ninety percent, literally ninety ninety zero percent of
Speaker 3: the federal government is not authorized by the Constitution. In fact,
Speaker 3: this department is not authorized by statute. So they can't
Speaker 3: just the President can't just create a department out of
Speaker 3: thin air and appoint people to it and give them
Speaker 3: off of space and give them computers and pay their salaries.
Speaker 3: That has to be authorized by Congress. Every time this
Speaker 3: has happened in the past, it's only been a window dressing.
Speaker 3: Neither mister Musk nor mister Ramaswami understand the federal government.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they understand the Constitution. So I'm
Speaker 3: not optimistic about it. I'm actually kind of down in
Speaker 3: the dumps about really the president because of some of
Speaker 3: his appointments. Listen, I know Pete hegseeth as well as
Speaker 3: I know you, maybe better worked with him daily for
Speaker 3: a number of years. Pete is a committed zone Inista
Speaker 3: and a committed Neocon who advised Joe Biden to baumb
Speaker 3: Tehran three years ago. Donald Trump does not need an
Speaker 3: enabler in the Defense Department. He needs a wise person,
Speaker 3: like say Colonel Douglas McGregor, to point out to him
Speaker 3: the likely and probable consequences of his impulses toward bombing.
Speaker 3: Pete will not do that. Pete will reinforce those impulses
Speaker 3: because he shares them himself. I like Pete, I know him.
Speaker 3: He's a wonderful guy, but I am very disappointed in
Speaker 3: the appointment. Donald Trump is going neocon even. I mean,
Speaker 3: these are Republican neocons as opposed to the Democratic neocons
Speaker 3: that are in there now. So look at my column
Speaker 3: from last week. Why do we vote? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: The military, industrial, banking, pharmaceutical, surveillance, welfare, warfare state complex
Speaker 3: will still rule the roost no matter what kind of
Speaker 3: bluster comes out of the Oval office. Well, so I
Speaker 3: apologize for a little bit of a downer, and maybe
Speaker 3: this is not what you want to do a talk about,
Speaker 3: but this is what's on my mind right now. I
Speaker 3: suspect you agree with some of what I said.
Speaker 2: Some and you know, again going back to the department,
Speaker 2: I mean, call it what you will, department of government
Speaker 2: efficiency or just two guys sitting down at a table
Speaker 2: without it being called a department and making good, solid
Speaker 2: recommendations too. To your point, getting back to the constitutional
Speaker 2: reality that there is no there should be no Department
Speaker 2: of Education, get rid of it. I mean you can
Speaker 2: say that without having a department in offices formed and
Speaker 2: all of that. You just listening to some people who
Speaker 2: are trying to go through the books and pair back
Speaker 2: what isn't it isn't right or shouldn't be in part
Speaker 2: of our federal government.
Speaker 3: I take that, well, then they should get rid of
Speaker 3: the Department of Education, the Department of Homelands. Yes, most
Speaker 3: respectfully to our friend, I don't know if he's going
Speaker 3: to go there, and I hope he doesn't because he's
Speaker 3: worth a lot more to our values. In the Congress.
Speaker 2: The Department of Agriculture, of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce.
Speaker 3: Why do we need the federal government to run agriculture
Speaker 3: or commerce? Where is that in the constitution?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, see that was one of my listeners
Speaker 2: brought that up. We do a thing called Honor Flight
Speaker 2: tri state here we fly veterans to see their memorials
Speaker 2: in Washington, DC. You know, gentlemen who mostly war veterans. Korea,
Speaker 2: we did World War Two and now they're doing Vietnam eras.
Speaker 2: But every time they drive by the Department of Agriculture, said,
Speaker 2: they point out how unblanking, believably huge the Department of
Speaker 2: Agriculture buildings are. Every one of those offices is filled
Speaker 2: with employees multiple plural and why I.
Speaker 3: Mean grows a single blade of grass?
Speaker 2: Right, So can we live without one? I know, we
Speaker 2: live without a Department of Education before nineteen eighty and
Speaker 2: we all live thrived and survived and did fine. So
Speaker 2: let's get rid of it. That's the kind of thing
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that, whether or not it's an actual funded entity,
Speaker 2: it's formalized or not, that at least this next administration,
Speaker 2: love them or Hate them, takes some great efforts to
Speaker 2: pair back the fraud, waste, and abuse that exists across
Speaker 2: all four corners of government.
Speaker 3: I would add to fraud, waste, and abuse unconstitutional. That,
Speaker 3: of course, is the fulcrum here, because that is what
Speaker 3: will ruffle the feathers on Capitol Hill. They believe that
Speaker 3: whatever they do is constitutional, even though the overwhelming majority
Speaker 3: of it is not, because it's not authorized by the Constitution.
Speaker 3: So they take the commerce clause and hang their hats
Speaker 3: on the hook of whatever affects interstate commerce. And they
Speaker 3: take the necessary and proper clause and hang their hats
Speaker 3: on those hooks. And they think they can right any wrong,
Speaker 3: and regulate any behavior, and spend any money, and intrude
Speaker 3: on any relationship. The Constitution be damned.
Speaker 2: Well, let me dream for a moment, and please share
Speaker 2: in my dream. Judging of Politano, I'm pretty reasonably happy
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump's Supreme Court choices. Of course, we've made
Speaker 2: great strides into pairing back the administration state administrative state
Speaker 2: with the Chevron doctor, and and of course West Virginia
Speaker 2: versus EPA. We could go on. With Trump as president
Speaker 2: and him having control of the House at Senate. We
Speaker 2: might get a few more extra judges a couple anyway,
Speaker 2: could we maybe in our lifetime judge to Politano see
Speaker 2: Wickered versus Philburn rolled back.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's the great Ohio case that allows the government
Speaker 4: to regulate even trivial, even immeasurable activity on the theory
Speaker 4: that if you add up all the immeasurables, they can
Speaker 4: be measured.
Speaker 3: Justice Scalia's and I'm gonna have to go on a minute, Brian.
Speaker 3: One of Justice Scalia's life was to get that roll back,
Speaker 3: and at one point he had five votes, and then,
Speaker 3: as happens, Chief Justice changed his mind.
Speaker 2: Now they got the goods on him too, perhaps, but
Speaker 2: at least I can live to dream about it. If
Speaker 2: it was a Kamala Harris administration, I could just throw
Speaker 2: that dream into the ash bin. Judge. In the interest
Speaker 2: of your time, we'll part company early today, real quick.
Speaker 2: Here who's on the program. Who's on judging Freedom?
Speaker 3: Oh? Ambassador Charles Freeman, Colonel Douglas McGregor, Phil Giraldi, Matt Blumenthal,
Speaker 3: my first team.
Speaker 2: Looking forward to it as always until next Wednesday, sir,
Speaker 2: best of hell, Thank you very much. A thirty eight
