Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Eric Thompson Show. It's passionate conservative fighting
to preserve our constitutional rights.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
In this present crisis. Government is not the solution to
our problem. Government is the problem.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
A Marine Corps veteran and familyman whose life's creed is faith, family,
and country, join Eric today as he covers current events
from a conservative worldview. Now here's your host, Eric Thompson.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hi, Welcome to the R. Thompson Show. Thank you so
much for joining me. If you want to get more
information on what we're doing over here, heater at our
website et Talkshow dot com et Talkshow dot com. On
today's podcast, we're going to be talking about the first Amendments,
the Bill of Rights, the Constitution in reference to what

(00:58):
should have been to stop the deranged shooter in Minnesota
in Minneapolis, possibly preventing him from killing two children and
injuring eighteen other people. We're also going to look at
Supreme Court justices. Conservatives are upset, as are on their

(01:22):
break that the district judges across the country the far leftist,
even though the Supreme Court said district judges cannot do
national injunctions and all this and cannot make the decisions.
That's all I said, the purview of a district judge,
because the Supreme Court is the only court actually mentioned

(01:42):
in the Constitution that's required, but the judges are doing
it anyway in direct conflict with the Supreme Court rulings.
We're going to look at what some of the justices
are saying about that the Supreme Court appeals courts more decisions.

(02:05):
A Wisconsin Supreme Court justice conservative is she's going to
step down, and I'll tell you why, and that actually
makes sense. The problem is because they won the last
open seat on this or last vacancy on the Supreme
Court Wisconsin, there's now a majority of wacky liberals on

(02:26):
the court running the state Supreme Court. We'll look at
that and I'm going to cover just one of the
stories you can find over on one of my other
podcasts called did You Know? It's going to be dealing
with did you Know where the potato chip? Who invented
the potato chip? We will cover that here in a

(02:47):
little bit. Before we get started, I want you to
know the sponsor of this podcast is z Stack. Doctor
Vladimir's Zlenko. Back during COVID came to fame when he
came up with the Zelenko protocol, doctor Vladimir Zelenko. President
Trump's team, Mark Meadow's chief of staff, called over and said,
President Trump has COVID, what do you recommend? His team
recommended COVID. I'm sorry. Zinc came up with the Zelenko

(03:10):
protocol Ivermectin hydro corquin, which President Trump mentioned. It took
a lot of heat over, but it actually worked. Doctor
Zelenko's protocol Z stack helped thousands of people not have
to be hospitalized during COVID and get on those deadly ventilators. Well,
he's got all kinds of products the team does over there.
One that was really popular last year was z flu

(03:34):
helps your body to build up the immunity naturally so
you don't get the flu in the first place, or
help you get through it if you have it. Z
flu is great. Z Night My wife and I take
helps us to sleep better. And I don't know how
it works, but all the combination of the right elements works.
He's got one that helps with calming you down now,
helping you to There's a kit. You can get a

(03:56):
Z kit so you have ivermectin the hydroqurquin available if
you're vacationing. If you're on a business trip, you don't
have to panic if China and India won't send over
the pharmaceuticals, so check them out. Go to this website
get the letter z stack stack dot com get zstack
dot com to say fifteen percent. You can use my

(04:17):
promo code of save right now. They have a Labor
Day sale. If you're listening early enough, you can get
twenty five or thirty percent or even more off. Use
the best code there is. If there's not a special
running though, you can always say fifteen percent with my
promo code at get zstack dot com. Let me ask

(04:38):
you a question, how do we the people work with
leftist especially in blue cities blue these liberal cities like Baltimore, Washington, DC,
Chicago and Los Angeles? How do we how should we

(05:03):
and what should we expect people like in the welfare
check welfare departments or police when they come across people.
Since we are in a constitutional republic and we have
laws and we want the authorities to be very limited
in what they do and trying to go after the

(05:27):
individual citizen because of the rights that our founders put
in place. But what happens and what should happen when,
for example, I'm not going to use the guy's name
because he's not he's dead and he's not it's not
worth using it anyway. But the gunmen who killed slaughter

(05:48):
two children and injured eighteen other people out of Minnesota,
Minneapolis Minnesota Catholic school and church, who reportedly had just
broken up with his role romantic partner and previously had
a mental a medical mental health call made to his

(06:10):
home when he was a teen, according to police records.
What should have been done to follow up with this
kid at the time, maybe they could have stopped what
he did. The shooter died from a self inflicted gunshot.

(06:33):
You know, coward, you go kill people, then you shoot yourself. Now,
he had identified as a trans woman, but then in
his own manifesto writing scribble whatever you want to call it,
he claimed that he was angry because he had brainwashed
himself into being transgender. What so in our lives, as

(06:59):
we're all going through life and we all have struggles.
But if you're in the if you're working for the state,
and you run across someone and you're called out because
they have mental medical mental health issues, how is it
then if they had breakup with somebody, according to the
shooter's father, and then then he goes and stays with

(07:24):
a friend that there's not some type of trigger with Hey, parents,
if your kid goes off the deep end again, could
you just give us a heads up in the system.
But no, this guy who's got YouTube videos that were
up the body's going to kill hated Christians, hated Trump,

(07:50):
was hated Jesus Christ. But he even though even though
it is obvious that this was a guy that was
a loose cannon, medical mental health problems, and then people

(08:10):
dad knew that he had broken up with a significant partner,
goes on to do videos on YouTube explaining that he
hated everybody, and then he goes ahead and fired through
stained glass at the Nunciation Church of Minneapolis. Just walks

(08:32):
up to a church shooting through it. So why his
his in his twisted videos on YouTube before which included
a manifesto, which included in his deranged writings that he
gleefully fantasized about being the scary, horrible monster standing over

(08:54):
those powerless kids, and he confessed he admired the two
thousand twelve Sandy Hook massacre. He also sent a deranged
goodbye letter to his family and friends, where he claimed
to embody traits of empathy, self sacrifice, and good character
and to be raised to be a good person, while
he also declaring he wanted to slaughter innocent children. I

(09:17):
think the mother took off because if the family got
the letter and there's a history and no one did anything,
are they accountable? So we need to have this conversation.
We don't, right because what happens is the godless anti

(09:41):
left will say, yes, everybody should be monitored, that the
mothers that go to the PTA and meetings and complain
about the books were porn for children, and about all.
You know that it's just not right that people are
the conservatives are being targeted. That's what they've been Or

(10:05):
try to pray outside an abortion clinic and see where
that will get you in some states. But this guy
was so deranged that he convinced himself he was trans
when he wasn't, and he's mad at himself. But then
he said he's a moral person, but he wants to
stand over the bodies of dead kids, and nobody intervened.

(10:28):
I think we need to figure out if you get
a letter or if YouTube with AI there's videos posted
saying that somebody as fast as having fantasies about standing
over murdered children. I think we need to start talking
about what should be in place while still living and

(10:54):
defending and lifting up the Constitution of Bill of rights.
But this is one of those cases. This is where
I don't think most logical people would want us to
just turn from this and say, oh, well, Second Amendment rights,
First ammor rights. But yeah, the guy, the guy, no

(11:15):
doubt about it, crazy trans no trands, and it's something
that we have to look at. I believe. Now the
courts are very busy because the administrative, the executive branch
is very busy. On a side note, Trump canceled Kamala's

(11:38):
secret Service detail. I like that one. So while the
DC Court moves the USA I D case forward because
these people are still trying to get their money from
the slush fund, Appeals Court okay, Trump freezing buildings into

(12:00):
foreign aid. A federal appeals court declined on Thursday to
reverse a challenge a case challenging the trministration's bid with
all billions of dollars in forourn aid, but they offered
a narrow way for the group of contractors and nonprofit
organizations to continue their legal challenge. So yes, but yes,

(12:23):
But however, the panel has revised its opinion in a
way it allows the claim to precede. That claim maybe
litigated expediacy at the district court. Why is it that
of the executive branch says, you know what, we're not

(12:45):
going to give billions of taxpayer dollars. We're not going
to just give money to groups that are questionable around
the world. We're going to stop that. Where is the
check in balances? And this is where the authority of
the executive the president, which was given a lot of
authority by the founders of the nation. So Supreme so

(13:09):
the appeals court says, yes, you can freeze the aid,
but in this one narrow path they can continue to
try to get it. Doesn't make any sense. I mean,
the courts are a real issue. A Wisconsin Supreme Court
judge issues a warning with their big announcement that she's

(13:29):
actually going to not seek re election and Wisconsin. This
came recently when conservatives lost the last two statewide high
court races by double digits, including April with Elon and billions.
I mean hunt, I mean millions and millions of dollars

(13:50):
over a Supreme Court just I mean, yeah, state Supreme
Court ruling or election. I'm sorry all the money poured
in or Republicans still lost. And so because of that,
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley, she says she's not
going to seek reelection and the reason why. She said

(14:11):
in her statement, for years, I've warned that under the
control of judicial activist, the court will make itself more
powerful than the legislature, more powerful than the governor. That
warning when unheated, and Wisconsin has seen only the beginning
of what an alarming shift from thoughtful principle judicial service
toward bitter partisanship, personal tax and potential gamanship. Is that

(14:37):
which has no place in the court, she continued. The
conservative movement needs to take stock in its failures, identify
the problem, and fix it. I will not seek reelection
to the Wisconsin's Preme Court because I believe the best
path for me is to rebuild the conservative movement and
fight for liberty. Fight for liberty, and it's not staying

(15:01):
as a minority member of the court. It's so bad
in Wisconsin with these liberals now the majority that one
of the conservatives. Is like if you if you guys
in Wisconsin don't want to step up and vote for conservatives,
I'm not going to stay on here and watch you
guys watch us get picked off one and another at

(15:23):
a time. I want to get out and actually try
to fight to get people engaged to not allow liberals
on the court. I mean, that tells you how bad
it is. And we're going to finish here with this
story again, make sure your immunity is high, especially as

(15:45):
we get riady toward the fall. Get zstack dot com

frustration if after lower courts overreaches, you know you're getting
near anarchy when, like in Wisconsin, when people won't vote
to put in people who will actually adhere to the

(18:01):
Constitution on the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, that's a problem.
But when the Supreme Court makes rulings and then they
go on their summer break and they have to then answer back,
the rulings we made are actually not being adhered to

(18:22):
by the lower courts. That's a massive problem because the
Supreme Court is the only court in the Constitution. The
rest of the courts are inferior courts put in by
and can be removed by the legislature by the Congress. Well,
Supreme Court has been away from DC for two months

(18:42):
since its final decision day, but as its emergency docket
has continued to fill up during the summer, the justices
are growing frustrated over the lower court's orders. How'd you
like that you make rulings, You're the top court, and
while you're on vacation, the lower courts are sticking it

(19:03):
to you. As lower courts continue to issue blocks, you know,
orders blocking various actions by the Trump administration, which they
cannot do according to Spring Court, you cannot do nationwide
injunctions as a district judge. But as the courts are
doing it anyway, more of those cases have come to

(19:26):
the Supreme Court's emergency docket, led to interim actions from
the justices, and while the Supreme Court has issued orders
that have taken have told lower courts how they can
handle similar cases while litigation procedes. The Justices have had
to issue several similar orders in the face of lower

(19:47):
courts rebellion, leading some justices to warn the lower courts
not to defy them. Neil Gorsitch warns the lower courts
they're never free to defy the Supreme Court just straight out.

(20:13):
Lower courts are quote never free to defy unquote the
Supreme Court. Justice Neil Gorsich issued the latest warning to
lower courts and in order on the Supreme Court's Emergency
dock at last week, which allowed the Trump administration to
terminate seven hundred and eighty three million dollars in DEI

(20:33):
related grants from the National Institutes of Health. In the ruling,
he said, quote, lower court judges may sometimes disagree with
this Court's decisions, but they're never free to defy them.
I quoted that a little bit ago. He wrote that
in the concurrence, taking aim at lower court judges, he

(20:56):
argued that the district court in question district a previous
order that Supreme Court had issued via the Emergency docket
in April that allowed the Trump administration to cut sixty
five million dollars in teaching training grants, which also related
to Trump's anti dei efforts. Course has pointed out the

(21:18):
two other times in recent weeks lower courts effectively defied
orders from the justices in similar but separate cases. How
is that, he wrote, So this is now the third
time in a matter of weeks this court is an
intercene in a case square to control by one of

(21:40):
its precedents. He continued, All of these interventions should have
been unnecessary, but together they underscore a basic tenet of
our judicial system. Whatever their own views, judges are duly
bound to respect the hierarchy of the federal court system
created by the Constitution In the Congress, Carrie Cervino, president

(22:02):
of Conservative Advassy group Judicial Crisis Network, told The Washington
Examiner that the order shows how the lower court's actions
are forced as Supreme Court to push back its emergency docket. Quote.
If it were a one off thing, maybe we wouldn't
have written it. But this has become a pattern of behavior.
Reoccurring defiance by lower court judges is why you're seeing

(22:26):
the need for the Court to respond to it. As
a result, we're seeing the court. We're seeing that the
Court is having to address it with the emergency docket
action and take the unusual steps of writing to explain
to a lower court judge that they need to follow
the Court's opinions. But apparently the lower courts judges are

(22:49):
pretty intransigent, transigent, they don't care. She added, some lower
court judges have shown themselves to be unable to take
a hint as to what is the correcting to do,
and so the justices they are taking the extra step
to be explicit and clear about where they're going. I

(23:12):
think the Court is already taking further action just by
spelling it out. They can assume that these judges can
read between the lines or can take a hint. That's
an assumption that you would think a judge, regardless of
what the how they feel, can read between the lines

(23:35):
after ignoring the obvious interpretations of the loss. So what
do we get out of this podcast? We need to
be We need to be aware that there's too much
activity and too much confusion in the judicial branch of government,

(23:57):
and the Supreme Court is the authority, and we need
to talk about just like, should officials stop people from
killing people? If there's plenty of reasons from social media
that that's privately owned, but the AI and technology can
help them to flag people. I think I say yes,

(24:20):
and we need to figure out how that can be
done more effectively. We need to understand that judges need
there needs to be even more levers to get rid
of rogue judges if we're going to have law and
order in this country. So again, thanks for listening. Please
