20
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>and I got to give you credit, sir, probably the

21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>main reason I got out of bed this morning to

22
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>come to work. I've been dealing with this just insanity

23
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>of a cough. But between you and my doctor and

24
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 2>my love and my faithful listeners, I'm holding up my

25
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 2>extra strength. Coughs are up here, your honor.

26
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Without this, it's wonderful to hear your voice, Brian, and

27
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>deeply moving that I should play even a tiny role

28
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 3>in your deciding to get out of bed in the morning.

29
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 3>I too, love these segments on Wednesday mornings, no matter

30
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>what's going on in the world, because we are so

31
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 3>simpotico in our view of the world. But thank you

32
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 3>for coming in today. You actually sound fine from my perspective.

33
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>I know you have a lot of whatever they put

34
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 3>in cough medicine these days in you, but you sound fine.

35
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>It is My doctor even told me that, pardon me,

36
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the pharmacist won't even fill this prescription. It's the

37
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. So I had it last night at eight pm,

38
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 2>at last twelve hours, and it's really just now wearing off,

39
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not going to have any before I drive

40
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 2>home this morning, because I probably get it pulled over

41
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>from being compaired with it, but it does work.

42
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>But the Chief Justice of the United States, William Rehnquist,

43
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 3>was pulled over in charged with DWI because he had

44
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 3>been taking painkillers for a slip disc in his back. Obviously,

45
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 3>they dismissed the case because it wasn't DWI, but he

46
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 3>was driving erratically. Yeah, well those things can happen.

47
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 2>No, it's only a ten minute commute for me to

48
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 2>get back home. Anyhow, you're honor, So I guess I

49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 2>wanted to ask you before we get into your wonderful art.

50
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>It's always wonderful. Your column comes out of Midnight Tonight

51
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>subject matter Gitmo continues to haunt. This is one an

52
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 2>area that you and I have talked about many times

53
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and you've written on many times. Is extreme important. But

54
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>before we get to that, I just wanted to get

55
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>your reaction, and I you know Donald Trump, know Donald Trump,

56
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>obviously he's president elect. Donald Trump really just pulled one

57
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>out of the hat. He won the popular vote, which

58
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>is amazing. Uh, and he's gonna he's already starting to

59
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 2>act somewhat presidential, hitting the ground running, starting to declare

60
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>people that's going to be in his cabinet and everything,

61
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>but the Department of government efficiency. I am actually quite

62
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 2>excited about this. I don't know what your feelings are

63
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 2>about Elon Musk or VvE Grammar Swammy, but the idea

64
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>that those two guys are going to be in charge

65
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>of trying to cut out waste in government, that they're

66
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>actually going to take a stab at doing that, I

67
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 2>think that's room for optimism because I if I had

68
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>to guess, I'd say you would agree the size and

69
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>scope of government has got a little bit out of hand.

70
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, the problem is that nobody pays attention to the Constitution.

71
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean ninety percent, literally ninety ninety zero percent of

72
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 3>the federal government is not authorized by the Constitution. In fact,

73
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 3>this department is not authorized by statute. So they can't

74
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 3>just the President can't just create a department out of

75
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 3>thin air and appoint people to it and give them

76
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 3>off of space and give them computers and pay their salaries.

77
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>That has to be authorized by Congress. Every time this

78
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 3>has happened in the past, it's only been a window dressing.

79
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Neither mister Musk nor mister Ramaswami understand the federal government.

80
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if they understand the Constitution. So I'm

81
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 3>not optimistic about it. I'm actually kind of down in

82
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 3>the dumps about really the president because of some of

83
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 3>his appointments. Listen, I know Pete hegseeth as well as

84
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 3>I know you, maybe better worked with him daily for

85
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 3>a number of years. Pete is a committed zone Inista

86
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 3>and a committed Neocon who advised Joe Biden to baumb

87
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 3>Tehran three years ago. Donald Trump does not need an

88
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 3>enabler in the Defense Department. He needs a wise person,

89
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 3>like say Colonel Douglas McGregor, to point out to him

90
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 3>the likely and probable consequences of his impulses toward bombing.

91
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Pete will not do that. Pete will reinforce those impulses

92
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 3>because he shares them himself. I like Pete, I know him.

93
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 3>He's a wonderful guy, but I am very disappointed in

94
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 3>the appointment. Donald Trump is going neocon even. I mean,

95
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 3>these are Republican neocons as opposed to the Democratic neocons

96
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 3>that are in there now. So look at my column

97
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 3>from last week. Why do we vote? It doesn't matter.

98
00:05:53.199 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 3>The military, industrial, banking, pharmaceutical, surveillance, welfare, warfare state complex

99
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 3>will still rule the roost no matter what kind of

100
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 3>bluster comes out of the Oval office. Well, so I

101
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 3>apologize for a little bit of a downer, and maybe

102
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>this is not what you want to do a talk about,

103
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 3>but this is what's on my mind right now. I

104
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 3>suspect you agree with some of what I said.

105
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Some and you know, again going back to the department,

106
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, call it what you will, department of government

107
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>efficiency or just two guys sitting down at a table

108
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>without it being called a department and making good, solid

109
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>recommendations too. To your point, getting back to the constitutional

110
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>reality that there is no there should be no Department

111
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>of Education, get rid of it. I mean you can

112
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>say that without having a department in offices formed and

113
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>all of that. You just listening to some people who

114
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 2>are trying to go through the books and pair back

115
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 2>what isn't it isn't right or shouldn't be in part

116
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>of our federal government.

117
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 3>I take that, well, then they should get rid of

118
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 3>the Department of Education, the Department of Homelands. Yes, most

119
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 3>respectfully to our friend, I don't know if he's going

120
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 3>to go there, and I hope he doesn't because he's

121
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 3>worth a lot more to our values. In the Congress.

122
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>The Department of Agriculture, of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce.

123
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Why do we need the federal government to run agriculture

124
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 3>or commerce? Where is that in the constitution?

125
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, see that was one of my listeners

126
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>brought that up. We do a thing called Honor Flight

127
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 2>tri state here we fly veterans to see their memorials

128
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, DC. You know, gentlemen who mostly war veterans. Korea,

129
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>we did World War Two and now they're doing Vietnam eras.

130
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>But every time they drive by the Department of Agriculture, said,

131
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>they point out how unblanking, believably huge the Department of

132
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Agriculture buildings are. Every one of those offices is filled

133
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 2>with employees multiple plural and why I.

134
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Mean grows a single blade of grass?

135
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, So can we live without one? I know, we

136
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.759
<v Speaker 2>live without a Department of Education before nineteen eighty and

137
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 2>we all live thrived and survived and did fine. So

138
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 2>let's get rid of it. That's the kind of thing

139
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping that, whether or not it's an actual funded entity,

140
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>it's formalized or not, that at least this next administration,

141
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>love them or Hate them, takes some great efforts to

142
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>pair back the fraud, waste, and abuse that exists across

143
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 2>all four corners of government.

144
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:24.759
<v Speaker 3>I would add to fraud, waste, and abuse unconstitutional. That,

145
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 3>of course, is the fulcrum here, because that is what

146
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.879
<v Speaker 3>will ruffle the feathers on Capitol Hill. They believe that

147
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever they do is constitutional, even though the overwhelming majority

148
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 3>of it is not, because it's not authorized by the Constitution.

149
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 3>So they take the commerce clause and hang their hats

150
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 3>on the hook of whatever affects interstate commerce. And they

151
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 3>take the necessary and proper clause and hang their hats

152
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.519
<v Speaker 3>on those hooks. And they think they can right any wrong,

153
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 3>and regulate any behavior, and spend any money, and intrude

154
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 3>on any relationship. The Constitution be damned.

155
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me dream for a moment, and please share

156
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>in my dream. Judging of Politano, I'm pretty reasonably happy

157
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>with Donald Trump's Supreme Court choices. Of course, we've made

158
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 2>great strides into pairing back the administration state administrative state

159
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.879
<v Speaker 2>with the Chevron doctor, and and of course West Virginia

160
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:25.039
<v Speaker 2>versus EPA. We could go on. With Trump as president

161
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and him having control of the House at Senate. We

162
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>might get a few more extra judges a couple anyway,

163
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>could we maybe in our lifetime judge to Politano see

164
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Wickered versus Philburn rolled back.

165
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Wow, that's the great Ohio case that allows the government

166
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 4>to regulate even trivial, even immeasurable activity on the theory

167
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 4>that if you add up all the immeasurables, they can

168
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 4>be measured.

169
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Justice Scalia's and I'm gonna have to go on a minute, Brian.

170
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 3>One of Justice Scalia's life was to get that roll back,

171
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.519
<v Speaker 3>and at one point he had five votes, and then,

172
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 3>as happens, Chief Justice changed his mind.

173
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Now they got the goods on him too, perhaps, but

174
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.399
<v Speaker 2>at least I can live to dream about it. If

175
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>it was a Kamala Harris administration, I could just throw

176
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>that dream into the ash bin. Judge. In the interest

177
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of your time, we'll part company early today, real quick.

178
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Here who's on the program. Who's on judging Freedom?

179
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Ambassador Charles Freeman, Colonel Douglas McGregor, Phil Giraldi, Matt Blumenthal,

180
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 3>my first team.

181
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Looking forward to it as always until next Wednesday, sir,

182
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>best of hell, Thank you very much. A thirty eight

183
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 2>to fifty five Caro see the talk station
