Thirty three. It'll be dry, snow likely overnight with a

There's a wreck on the right shoulder north found seventy
one above two seventy five. Southbound seventy one improving from
above two seventy five, but then slows between Peifer and

(00:31):
the lateral. Southbound seventy five break lights off and on
through Westchester, heavier through Lachlan and northbound seventy five remains
over a twenty five minute delay between Florence and downtown.
A lot of people decorate their front yards with inflatable santus,
but our next guest has decorated his yard this year
with an inflatable Congressman Thomas Massey and Senator Ran Paul.

(00:56):
They're both holding a twenty by thirty foot American flag
made up of over six hundred led twinkle whites who
tearing up just thinking about it. The judge is next
chucking ram month fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I think Massy's also got a giant discharge petition to
get a vote on the authorization for you some military force.
Welcome back, Judge, Editor Politano.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Thank you, Thank you. Brian chuck Is. You know he
really puts time at the crafting these things.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Hey, he does quite often.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Though.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I will give Joe Stracker credit because Joe helped me
along the way, because you know, he's busy doing the
traffic for like nine thousand cities across this great land
of ours that are serviced by iHeartMedia, so we'll share
the love. But he certainly does a great job delivering
on it. Judge Edita Politano, And I was we had
more topics to talk about with Congress from Massy, but

(01:51):
I wanted to get into that blowing up drug smuggler
thing because you Senator ran Paul, of course, Congressman Massey
and I seem be the lone, three, four or five
total people in the world. You think there's a problem
with blowing up boats off of Venezuela. You know, you
and I have talked about authorization to use some military force.

(02:12):
We think we're on questionable constitutional grounds because there's no
reference to the AUMs in the Constitution. You either have a
declaration of war or you don't, or it falls within
like an emergency power. Donald Trump sees the troops coming
at us over the horizon and needs to act right
away as commander in chief. You and I agree, Congressman
Massy agrees that ain't what's going on with fifteen hundred

(02:34):
miles away boats that may may have drugs on them.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
And even the Democrats. I was moved by Congressman Jim Himes.
I don't really agree with him un much, but he
was visibly shaken by what he observed when he saw
the two survivors obliterated. But even the Democrats are not
complaining about the whole project ah higher concept. They're just

(03:02):
complaining about killing the survivors. All of this killing is
unconstitutional and criminal. There is no legal basis for it.
The government knows that, and it refuses to release it's
so called authority to do so.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well, as Congressmans, you've just got done pointing out all
these extra judicial killings, the ones done by Obama and
you know that we could go on and on because
you bring them up regularly, including the killing of American
citizen overseas done under the twenty two thousand and one
Authorization for Used Military Force to go after Islamic fundamentalist
terrorists broad leeway there, They're everywhere you can find them.

(03:39):
But I don't think that Venezuela and Narco folks are
fundamentalist Muslim terrorists, so you can't put it under that AUMF.
So you need a new one that allows us to
wage a war against I guess when the President says
Narco terrorists, they're Narco terrorists. But if they are, then
you need a specific authorization to go after those in
the way we're going after them, right, correct.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Correct, There is no such an authorization. Listen. I'm with
Senator Paul, Congressman Massey and you on this. The AUMFS
authorizations for use of military force are unconstitutional. They're unrecognized
by the Constitution because they don't have an end period
to them. When we declared war on Japan and Germany

(04:24):
and Italy on December eighth, nineteen forty one, the declaration
of war ended expired when they surrendered these AUMFS have
no surrender. When Donald Trump used a drone to kill
General Solomani in twenty nineteen, he based it on the
two thousand and one Authorization for the Use of Military Force.

(04:47):
There was no connection whatsoever. SOLEMONI was an Iraqi who
was in Iran trying to negotiate peace, and they murdered
him and claimed to get something to do with nine
to eleven. He was a young man in nine to
eleven and had nothing whatsoever to do with it. These
authorization for use of military force authorizations are like a

(05:09):
loaded gun in the resolute desk waiting for the president
to take it out and kill wherever he wants.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right, now, let's address the underlying problem. I mean,
I'm in accord with my listeners. We had a real
problem with people criminally ferrying drugs into our country, demonstrably
bad for our country. Hundreds of thousands of people have
died already. I know we got a problem with consumption,
but those drugs are not legally allowed to come into
our country. So fighting the drug problem and going after

(05:37):
them seems to be the ultimate goal. Expedience is what
Donald Trump is embracing. Hell, I'll just blow them up
and we'll just you know, let Congress and and and
everybody twiddle their thumbs and scream and yell about it.
We need an AUMF, we need a declaration of war
all that. How do we what do we need to
do to get to the problem. I mean, if you
and I are an agreement on this, so how.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Do they we? Liberious? Libertarian? And he says, you own
your own body, and people should be able to do
whatever they want to their own bodies. Now, I recognize
that drugs have ruined people other than those who take them,
because the people who take them have spouses and children
and jobs and are engaged in economic, social, cultural activity.

(06:17):
But I think you should be able to do what
you want. That view is not going to prevail. We
are victorians. The government thinks it knows what's better for us.
The second view is a due process. Due process would say,
follow the boat until it gets into American waters, Stop

(06:38):
the boat, search it. If there's no drugs, leave them alone.
If there are drugs, arrest everybody, prosecute them. You will
learn a lot more about where the drugs came from
and how they got in the United States by the
process of prosecution and plea bargaining negotiation, then you will
by destroying everything. Where will now, parroting Senator poll, where

(07:02):
will the destruction stop? I mean, suppose the boat makes
it to Miami and unloads into a moving van, and
the moving van is going north on ninety five towards Orlando.
Can you blow up the moving van? I mean, where
will this stop?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's a great point, I agree, And if they entered
international waters, I think law would prohibit us from just
unilaterally blowing them up, certainly in the absence of an
authorization east military force. They're in international waters, I mean
they're in a rather territorial waters. They didn't mean international water.
So once they've got to the point where they do
represent an emminent threat faring this dangerous cargo, like you said,

(07:40):
pull them over like the Coastguard does and prosecute it.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
I mean, these speedboats have a maximum distance of fifty
to sixty miles, and they all, all of them, except
for the two or three that were off the coast
of Mexico. We're fifteen hundred miles from the United States. Basically,
this thug, Admiral Bradley, was shooting fish in a barrel.

(08:07):
And as I point out in the article. He was
in Florida. The vehicles, whether they were drones or jets,
took off from Florida. The people pressing the buttons and
locating the targets are in Florida. There's somebody to the
Constitution in Florida. They can't say they escaped the Constitution
because they're doing their work in the Caribbean. They can't

(08:29):
say they escaped the constitution because they're targeting narco terrorists.
Narco terrorists is not a legal term. It's a political term.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, and that's I think that's sort of an endeavor
to be sly and kind of shoehorn the drug dealers
into the prior authorization use military force, which of course
were related to Muslim and fundamental Is terrorists. So I
don't know that you can necessarily do that, but it
sounds good when you say it out loud. Look, I'm
bringing about justice. I'm dealing with these people expediently. I'm

(08:59):
sending a message to the world. And the only reason
that message is being sent because of the course, Venezuela
can't defend itself.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Right right, So listen. I don't know how this ends.
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson who's the former chief of staff of
the State Department under Colon Powell, has told me that
the government is spending a billion with a bee a
day to house twenty thousand troops down there and a

(09:28):
dozen ships a billion with a bee a day. Is
that just wasted or will Trump feel the need to
do something? And yesterday they conducted to practice runs in
Puerto Rico of storming beaches. And yesterday President Trump said
of President Maduro, his days are numbered. For what Venezuela

(09:51):
doesn't pose thus lightest national security threat to the United States.
It is not an exporter of drugs. The fentanyl is
made aid in Mexico and comes directly from Mexico. The
cocaine comes from Honduras, the president of which he just
let out of jail from a forty five year prison term.

(10:11):
Who is the biggest exporter of cocaine in the history
of the United States government? What am I missing here, Brian?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Not quite sure what. I'm sure there are certain elements
that you left out, but you know, it just serve
to further illustrate your broader point. And I know it's
difficult for my listeners to hear. They hate hearing that
this is unlawful or extra constitutional. But you know what
it's it's the try. I think you can't get escape
the truth. Breathe the document.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Congressional action isn't took an oath faithfully to enforce the
laws and faithfully to uphold the constitution. The laws for
him an extra judicial killing, and the Constitution requires due process.
A high school student could tell you that.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Are you talking today on Judging Freedom your podcast Judged
at Apolitano.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I have a professor Glenn Dieson and Max Bloomenthal and
Phil Giraldi, three of my Wednesday regulars. Brian, we are
oh so close to reaching a magic number before Christmas,
which will be one hundred million views. Ah, we stay on,

(11:22):
if we stay on pace, we will reach that a
day or two before Christmas.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Eve. I wish you all the luck in the world
and achieving that lofty goal. Judging and Apolotona deserving of it.
You are. We'll be listening to your podcast and of
course tuning in every Wednesday here in fifty five Kressey
Morning Show at eight thirty. God bless you, sir. We'll
talk next Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Thank you, Thank you, Brian. Remind ingram I love them.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
I will do just that, sir. Take care coming up.
Alisia Reese, how much kind of commission
