Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, Neighbors, Second Hour on a Friday, Glad to have

(00:04):
you here. It's National kool Aid Day, National Rum Day,
National roller Coaster Day, and also National Tell a Joke Day.
And if they got friends that can like tell jokes,
they just spout off jokes. I never remember jokes. Sometimes
I need to remember that joke and tell it. And
there's one joke in my head that I can't tell

(00:24):
on the radio. I was trying to I should tell
a joke today, and I can't think of any jokes
except one joke that I'm not I can't tell on
the radio. I mean, it doesn't have wordy dirts and
the dirty words in it, nothing like that. But it's
pretty provocative and it's funny as hell. And in any
of my friends listening, you know, it's a thirteen martini joke.
That's all I'm gonna say. I would love to tell

(00:44):
that joke on National Telejoke Day. But if this were
an FM show, we probably could tell it, but I
just can't. I can't tell it. So if you see
me today, ask me about the thirteen martini do it.
Don't ask me at the workplace, because then that would
be an HR violation. It's funny though. It's a funny joke.
I've got friends who just started rattling off jokes back
to back, and I've got friends that can rattle off

(01:04):
movie quotes and stuff, and I'm like, I guess i'd
like them. I don't know. Maybe I rode the short
bus in some departments because it doesn't work for me.
And it'd be good to have you here in National
Tell a joke, Dad, I don't have any jokes to tell. Okay,
nice to be here, all right, News toxics under in Cacol.
Somebody just sent me a message. I think it was
I forget somebody I forgot who simmy message said, what's

(01:25):
it like Lakey for oh David who sent me this message?
What's it like for Dion Sanders to be living rent
free in your head? I'm like, he didn't live written
free in my head. I've barely talked about the guy
since all the hype machine came in, but I'm just
find it fascinating. I'm starting to wonder about the over
and under how long this guy last. It just ran
across the Sean Keeler columns and think they're quite interesting

(01:49):
and his actions. I had the press conference to CBS
four of Denver. I just it's it's just interesting. Not
written free in my head, my friends, not wrint free
in my head at all, but it is fascinating. It
is really all right. Switch gears can we? Amazon bestselling
author Josh Bernstein is on the hotline. He's written a
book called Preserving Liberty. I'd like to just stop there, please,

(02:13):
let's preserve liberty. Preserving Liberty. Let me give you the
full title of the bilt of the book, Preserving Liberty,
Bold and brave solutions to save America and create permanent freedom.
Anybody sometimes feel like your freedom's kind of going away.
Freedom to say what you want, think what you want,
live your life like you want, run your business like

(02:34):
you probably think is best. A lot of freedoms that
seems like we have a little bit less of in
the modern era today. Josh Burnstay's written a book on it.
He joins me on the hotline. Josh, thanks for coming
on the program. Congratulations on the new book, sir.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Thank you. It's great to be back on the program.
And I'll say that first because I'm hoping you remember me.
I was probably booked on your show in twenty eighteen.
Two thousand and nine team when I was the national
spokesperson for AMAC.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I do remember that now that you mentioned it? You
remember now now that you mentioned it, I'm like, that
name seems familiar, but well back, yeah, I'm putting them,
putting two and two together. Let's talk about your book,
You're Preserving Liberty, and I do welcome you back on
the show. Obviously you wrote it for a reason. You
get inspiration, you sit down at the keyboard and you
start typing. What was it that cost you to want

(03:27):
to write a book about preserving liberty and the brave
and bold solutions to save America. Obviously, saving America means
it we're in danger. Why did you write it?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, the interesting part is that in about twenty fourteen
or so, I wrote just like I don't know, maybe
about ten pages, and I called it the Ultimate Squanderer.
And it was about Barack Obama at the time where
he had this wonderful opportunity, you know, as the first
you know, African American president to do so much for

(04:02):
the country and squandered it, I believe, with big government
and everything else. And so I just kind of wrote
it and I put it away and I didn't really
do anything with it. And then I was at the
Turning Point event in Arizona and I ran into these
folks at the publishing company and they encouraged me to submit,
you know, the book basically, and I said, well, I

(04:24):
wrote something, but I didn't exactly know what it was,
and so I decided to kind of take a look
at it again and I pretty much scrapped it, and
I just thought, for a second, you know, we're in
a lot of danger here. You know, we're losing this country.
And I just kind of, like you said, just keyboarded
it and I just sat there and I just started
to put it all together. I've been doing this for

(04:45):
well over twelve plus years, so I've done lots and
lots of shows on lots and lots of different topics,
and in the end, I came up with one hundred
and ninety two pages of nothing but pure solutions. There's
about ten legislative solutions ideas in the book and another
thirty on top of that. You know, a lot of
people write books and they complain about the problems that

(05:07):
we have, but then they don't really provide solutions for that.
And so I wanted to be one hundred percent different
from that standpoint, and you know, you can ask me
about specifics, but I came up with a lot of
different solutions.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
So it's a solution book based book by Josh Bernstein.
It's called Preserving Liberty. Josh, I'm sitting here watching the
news every day as I try to take it in,
listen to it in my headphones during the breaks, and
just find out what's happening. We go to the websites,
and every election year since I was a wee tiking,
and I can remember, every politician talks about we're going
to cut spending Republicans do Democrats do? They never do.

(05:42):
We're going to fix the economy, they never do. They
talk about the taxes where the rich don't pay enough,
the rich pay too much. I mean, every election cycle
we're talking about healthcare. I thought Obamacare fixed at all,
but it didn't. Didn't. We were going to repeal Obamacare,
but now we kept Obamacare, but it's still broken. We
got to get healthcare better. We never seem to fix anything,
but every two to four years, these politicians get by

(06:05):
with campaigning that they're going to fix something, and yet
many of them have been in Washington for decades or more,
and they're still talking about fixing things that they didn't
fix thirty years ago. Does anybody in Washington really want
to fix the problem or are they just hoping to
have another hoping to just use those problems as a
way to get reelected. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think that's a big part of it. I think,
you know, it's tell the voters what they want to hear,
fill their heads with, you know, possible promises, and then
pull the rug out from underneath them once they get
their vote. It's almost like any communist, you know, tinpot
dictator in history does the exact same thing. I mean,
you can already kind of see that starting here with

(06:44):
the Harris Walls campaign. You know, no tax on tips,
let's steal that one from President Trump. Right. Meanwhile, she's
the deciding vote on the IRS and the eighty thousand
agents which went after you know, taxes on tips, and
so you know, it's this the disingenuousness of both parties
in Washington. Quite frankly. I mean, one of the things

(07:06):
that I talk about in the book in chapter four
is called dismantling Washington. That's literally the chapter with technology
the way it is today, there's no reason why we
need five hundred and thirty five well dressed criminals located
in sixty eight point five square miles surrounded by twelve
point five thousand registered lobbyists. That's over one hundred and

(07:28):
forty lobbyists per square mile. So my thought was, let's
just take it down. Let's make the senators and the
congress members work in their respective states, and the only
reason they would have to go into Washington would be
maybe just to you know, go in and cast votes
and then leave again. You know, Washington was never supposed

(07:49):
to be a permanent situation for these representatives. So that's
another solution that I have. I talk about reigning in
the administrative state, of course, but I also talk about
reigning in the PISA Court. You know, there's a ninety
nine point nine percent approval rate since the nineteen seventies

(08:11):
on spy warrants. As a matter of fact, only twelve
warrants have ever been denied. So you have this very
powerful shadow court that is operating in the background, which
is almost as powerful as the US Supreme Court, and
they don't answer to anyone. So one of my solutions was,
instead of being appointed by the Chief Justice John G.

(08:32):
Roberts of the US Supreme Court, for all of these
eleven judges, why don't they go through the advice and
consent of a Senate confirmation hearing so that they can
be confirmed by actual senators. That's another thing that I
talk about. I absolutely take down China in the biggest
way possible. I go after Timu. I talk about, you

(08:54):
know how dangerous Timu is because they fool a lot
of Americans. There's seventeen percent of the market share right now.
And anyone that purchases anything on Timu, which you can
buy things seventy seventy five percent less easily, why, well,
because they're not paying any labor costs, so it's slave
labor from the Jijiang province of northwest China. So I

(09:16):
go through that. I go through elections and election integrity
and how we can change, you know, the elections to
make them safer so there's no sandbagging. You know, sandbagging
is when no one reports the votes. And in the
red States, and you know, in particular, if you look
at like for instance, herschel Walker's race for the Senate,
he was blown away Warnock the whole entire day of everything,

(09:39):
and then Fulton County was sandbagging, and so I called
my buddy, Garland Taborrito from voter Ga and I said,
Garland is firstly going to win this thing, and he goes,
I don't think, so I said why he goes, well,
because Fulton County is holding back. In other words, they
were waiting for all the red counties to report first
so that they could figure out how many votes they
need to steal that election and say, well, I guess

(10:02):
it was just a real close one. So it's a
lot of things like that that I discussed and talk
about in the book. It's one hundred and ninety two
pages of just nothing but solutions on how to fix things.
Congress and Paul Gosar did the forward for the book.
Alan Dershowitz has endorsed the book, and Roger Stone has
endorsed the book, and probably another fifteen sixteen other people

(10:24):
have endorsed it as well. So I'm really excited. I'm
really proud. And anyone can go to Amazon and just
put into the search Preserving Liberty book by Josh Bernstein,
and you can pre order a copy of it today.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
The name of the book is called Preserving liberty. Josh Bernstein, Josh,
it is amazing to me that some of these problems
and then the solutions you give. The problems that we're
talking about shouldn't be controversial. They should not be Red team,
Blue team. They should just be America. But I even
put up yesterday, I put up just a standard statement
about Kamala Harris holding your campaign rally in Arizona. They

(10:58):
required photo ID to come in and claim your seats
that you reserved, and yet the same people don't want
you to have voter idea show that you're actually a
citizen and registered to vote. And you would think, okay, yeah,
maybe that would be a good thing. That should be
a bipartisan thing. That we want clear elections where only
people that have the right to vote get to vote.
And I got people on my social media feeds kind

(11:21):
of offended, going, don't you see the difference between a
rally and an election? And I'm like, I don't even
know where these people come from. Of course I see
the difference, and you should be more secure in an
election than a rally. But all these issues, they've become
partisan and they shouldn't be. Do we ever find a
way to overcome that a fair and clean election should

(11:41):
not be something that's just a Republican thing. It should
be everybody's thing. Not being overrun by Washington DC bureaucracies
and destroying businesses and livelihoods should not be a Republican
or Democrat thing. But unfortunately it has become that. Do
we ever overcome that to where we can come together
and fix things?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, Look, I always say that tyranny is sold as convenience,
and what I mean by that is, you know, hey,
let's use these machines. You know they're easier. You just
click a button and then your votes registered, right, wink wink,
nod nod. And so we've got to get rid of
these machines. That's the number one thing. Because once we
actually implemented JAVA, which is the Help America Vote Act,

(12:26):
I call it the Help America Steal Act because, let's
face it, that's exactly what it allowed it to do.
It gave financial money from the government to the different states,
and it almost it didn't force them to federalize the elections,
but it did say, hey, we'll give you these millions
upon millions of dollars in grants and money if you
buy these voting machines. And of course you know at

(12:48):
the time, George, you know who was it at that point, Yeah,
it would have been Yeah, George W. Bush is the
one that signed that one into law. And so in
other words, we federalized the first up of the elections
under Republicans. So you're absolutely correct, and I talk about
that in the book, that both parties are responsible for this,

(13:08):
there's no question about it. But isn't it interesting You
need a driver's license to drive a car, you need
a license to practice medicine, you need a license to
practice law, you need a license to practice all these
different things, but you don't have a license to be
proving that you are who you say you are to
vote in an election. I mean, it's absolutely insane really

(13:32):
when you think about it.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
You've got to prove who you are to sit on
an airplane. I mean you've got to, yeah, to get
through security, even to get to the gate, to go
to the airplane. You've got to prove who you are.
But anyway, I put that up as an example, and
there's people actually offended and say, well, it's different. You've
got to have an idea to rally, And I'm like,
I don't know why, but you don't have to have
to vote. I'm like, Okay, at this point, we're so

(13:53):
far disconnected. There's no need for them to even discuss
that with us. And you mentioned both parties, and I'm
trying to point this out. I mean, I'm a registered Republican.
Sometimes I wonder why I think I should just probably
be independent with the state of Colorado. But I'm a
registered Republican. I'll be voting for Donald J. Trump in November.
You don't have to like that, That's okay, but that's

(14:14):
how I'm going to vote. But I've got to admit
I'm not afraid to tell you what Trump. Trump didn't
cut spending. He's not a traditional fiscal conservative, but everybody
talks about fixing the economy in both parties, though once
they get in power, they don't want to cut spending.
They don't want to solve the deficit issue, they don't
want to make some hard choices. And until we're ready
to do that, it's going to be hard to solve

(14:36):
some problems. But both parties have got us in this
mass for a show.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, there's no question about it. And look, your state's
a perfect example, Colorado, absolutely perfect red state and has
been for many, many years, many many election cycles. And
then what happened, well, mostly you had the California liperals
come in, unfortunately moving into the Denver area. They then
get power, and what do they do. They basically take

(15:02):
away your right to vote in some respects because it's
all mail in ballots, and now they control the process, right,
and it's been a blue state ever since. So it's
a prime example of you know, tyranny. Right is sold
as convenience. Oh, don't worry about it. Just stay home,
continue to watch those soap operas, and just mail in
your ballot. It'll be taken care of, no problem at all.

(15:24):
So in my chapter on election integrity, I talk about that.
I talk about how the fact that we should not
have mail in ballots. You know, there's nothing in the
constitutions that says you have a vote, you have a
right to vote dot dot dot buy mail. You do
have a right to vote, but not by mail. And
so we've corrupted this system and that's a big problem.

(15:45):
And so we want to cut down on the amount
of mail in ballots. You know, I mean there's going
to be certain certain circumstances people that are you know,
elderly infirmed and or military abroad things like that. I
understand that, but just to have no fault you know,
mail in ballot, that doesn't make any sense. And we
clearly saw what happened in twenty twenty with no fault

(16:07):
ballots coming in in the middle of the night, being
stuffed into mail boxes at you know, four am, and
drop boxes. So if we're going to win this, we
can't just say to ourselves we just have to be
too big to steal and outvote the fraud. That's not
going to work. We have to have all hands on deck.
We've got to be watching everything, watching the drop boxes,

(16:27):
watching the precincts, watching the parking lots, all of it.
I mean, I would contact your local police department and
ask them point blank, what is it specifically that you're
going to do to watch the drop boxes? Are you
going to have officers standing there to make sure that
there's not people coming at four o'clock in the morning
overstuffing these things with stake ballots. I mean, we've got

(16:48):
to be involved, Josh, I got.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
To step in. We're running out of time. The name
of the book is called Preserving Liberty Bold and brave solutions,
just save America and create permanent freedom. You can find
it at Amazon if you want to find it. And
