Now that the Reds have been eliminated from postseason play,

Oddly enough, there's one coming up next. My name is

welcome back your honor. Always my favorite time of week.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Well, are you optimistic at least?

Speaker 3 (01:43):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
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

(02:36):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
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

(03:10):
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

(03:32):
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.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
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

(04:10):
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

(04:30):
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,

(04:52):
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

(05:17):
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

(05:38):
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

(06:00):
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

(06:20):
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.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
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.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
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

(07:17):
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

(07:38):
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.

(08:01):
But fifty two thousand American boys are dead.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
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.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
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

(08:36):
for an invasion that was a disaster. It ended up
slaughtering Iraqi peasants and destroying what remained of that society.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
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.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
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

(09:20):
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

(09:43):
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,

(10:07):
and that's your nephew. That's why we have these protections
in the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
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.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
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

(10:51):
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

(11:14):
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

(11:36):
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

(11:58):
Bay is unforgivable.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I will strongly encourage my listeners to get a copy
of his deal or no deal comes out tonight. Oh
