Speaker 1 (00:03):
All right, We're going to start off the show with
a rare full disclosure, full transparency, because that is what
we are advocating for as the American people, especially as
this can of BS gets opened up. We're recording this
show the twentieth of February, and I know we're not

(00:24):
supposed to do this. It's all supposed to be it's
all supposed to sound live all the time. But we
are recording the show the twentieth of February of some
scheduling things and unable to do a show in real
time in late late February. So who knows as of today, Thursday,
February twenty in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Forgive us if something big happens.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Right we're missing, but right right, I hope nothing serious happens.
This may come across very insensitive. If you miss last show,
shame on you. Now is the time to be paying
attention to AM radio. Now's the time to be paying

(01:08):
attention to some very important voices who can lead you
through this wilderness.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
And who can organize your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And I'm going to recommend I want to recommend a
couple substack authors that I follow, and I'm going to
recommend some authors that you may or may not have
heard of or know about, and podcasts and places where
I go to listen get ideas, people much smarter than

(01:41):
I am that can connect the dots and help us
build our show. I'll go first general, and then you.
Why don't you tell listeners where you go to listen,
learn and read? As it relates to substack. I love
substack and shameless promotion. I have a sub substack. It's

(02:03):
called at Brad koffl not hard to remember and overthinking
since nineteen sixty eight and right now I have seven subscribers.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
All family members. Strangely, who knows you best?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
So at Brad Coaffle on substack. I have decided that
I need to channel much of my angst and energy
someplace other than I'm long done with Facebook, been done
with Facebook for a very long time years. I'm done
with Twitter because they suspended me in April twenty twenty.

(02:43):
I did get reinstated. I did have to create some
alternative Twitter handles. Octavia Superbus slipped through. They didn't realize
it was me, So Octavia Superbus on X. But I'm
done with I read X now for my news and
I really and truth social where our places like to

(03:06):
get but my info but subs and then whatever my
buddies send me. Uh. If you have anything, please uh
go to uh sub stack at Brad Coffel and shoot
us stuff, anything that you think we're wrong on, anything
you like, anything you want us to propound upon. Haven't

(03:28):
heard that word since law school. Uh at brad Kaffel
on substack, and that's where we're gonna put. I'm gonna
put more of my daily uh thoughts because I otherwise
I'm gonna wind up needing a support group. I'm going
to need some place to go because I'll lose my
mind as I as I hear the illiberal first year,

(03:52):
the shrinking Oh mary Haven, the shrinking illiberals who were there.
They all wear these same glasses. Now, Jona mentioned this
on the last show. What'd you call them?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
These smart girl glasses?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
They were in these smarty girl glasses, and all are
now starting to look the same. The men are starting
to look like the women, and the women are starting
to look more like them. And I'm not here to
lob at hominum personal attacks on people. I'm just making
a societal observation. The people, Yeah, the people. People on

(04:25):
CNN and MSNBC are strangely and curiously looking a lot alike.
And I don't know if there must be some sort
of store at thirty Rock that sells the Smarty Girl glasses.
But I have seven subscribers as of today on my
sub stack. Please go and and follow. I have a

(04:49):
periodical which will be a newsletter called Molin Labbe come
and take it. And that's going to be more long
form essays that I feel obligated to do for myself anyway.
Not here to make money, not here to monetize any
of this stuff. It is what it is, and this

(05:12):
is the way. This is the template we need for America.
Is to be transparent, to be authentic, to live heart forward,
get out of your head, don't think too much. Turn
off the news. We really need to insulate our minds
from the propaganda in the ether. You're really everything. You're

(05:36):
just gonna have to turn it all off. Be very
very careful what you let into your mind. What weeds,
because it's all weeds right now. There are some flowers,
and there are some places that I like to go,
and I like the carousel on substack by a person

(05:58):
the pseudonym of Isaac Simpson. I like, I really like
how to Subvert Subversion with Uri Besmanov. Now, Ury Bezmanov
was a Russian, a former Russian agent who came to
the US and gave stateside interviews with our press corps

(06:23):
to explain that the Soviet Union was in fact engaged
in propaganda in the United States. We just didn't know it.
So Ury Bezmanov, So there is a He died in
ninety five, but there's now somebody who has picked up
his name and created a substack. Very smart, very very funny,

(06:44):
and we will get him on the show. I've already
been in communicate communication with him. I think he might
be a top ten substacker right now. But Ury Besmanov
a big fan of that. I'm a huge fan of
the work Tucker Carlson's doing right now. You got to
get the Tucker Carlson Network app on your phone, and

(07:07):
if you had missed it, if you missed Thank You,
Doctor Fauci, which was on Tucker's network, you missed an
eyeball burner. Holy cow. Not only is there zero doubt
in my mind that Fauci and a handful of co

(07:29):
conspirators were actively engaged in gain of function research weaponizing
viruses that led to the death of twenty million human
beings and the cover up. These people do need to
be prosecuted.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
To the extent they can pardon.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Fauci got pardoned TBD, but there are a lot of
people that didn't. We need to go back and look
at Ebola, and it's going to get it put. I
think it'll get tied to at a lab, a bio
weapons lab in Africa. I think we're going to need
to go back to HIV AIDS. I hate to say it,

(08:09):
I think there may be I think Fauci's team and
those folks fingerprints maybe on that. I think we're going
to have to go back into that. As long as
we're doing a trumposcope on the federal government, we can't
just stop at COVID. What Else podcast? Steve Bannon huge,

(08:38):
very very good. He's narrowly focused on the economic side
of this. He gets from economics down to the precinct
level stuff. But he's very very good. Where do you go?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I usually go to places like YouTube and I watch
Milton Friedman's old stuff. I watched Thamas Soul stuff, Murray Rothbart.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Murray Rothbart, Yeah, thank you for reminding me and anything
that Iron rand ever did.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, she was wrong on religion, but that's it.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, So this is where you need to start studying history.
You need to start reading and looking at the warnings.
All we talk all the time about the warnings that
I gave us in sixty one. There are a lot
of other very very smart, prescient economists that warn this
that were laughed.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Away, very goldwater Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And you're going to have to go back on this stuff.
But anyway, after the break, in the next couple segments,
we are going to pick up on our last show
where emotions got high. I don't know yet whether or
not I'm going to get fined by.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
The FTC for or the FCC. Rather, what was about
the six thirty mark of that segment. I'll tell Campy
he can beep it out.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I did drop the BS word. I don't know if
I'm allowed to say that, but I'll find out. But
we're going to pick up. As long as we now
know how corrupt it has been, it's time to reconsider
this being a founding Fathers and founding Mothers generation. All right,

(10:18):
let's set this up.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
What do we do now?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
We need to take back control of the government. It's
our government anyway. The scam, the fraud, the crimes, the
absolute racket is getting exposed. What do we do about
it is, let's be honest. The politicians, the bureaucrats, the media,
they are never going to voluntarily shrink their own power.
Just doesn't happen. That is a that's just a universal

(10:43):
truth ism. So it's up to us. It's up to
the people who work, the people who produce, the people
who serve others, the people who actually built this country.
We need to push back hard. We need to demand
that the government stops stealing our income, stop stealing our wealth,
Let us build, stop micromanaging our lives, let America flourish,

(11:05):
stop pretending they own us, and cut regulations, slash spending,
put government back in its cage. America is waking up.
We have waking up woke two point zero. I don't
know if I want to use the word woke, but
this moment, our founding fathers looked back on the several
hundred years that preceded them and came up with a

(11:27):
absolutely radical way of governing. After millennia of king's divine
right monarchies, tyranny. They turned it all on its head,
everything upside down, and built this and put the foundations
in place for this country. Now we need to reconsider

(11:50):
what Thomas Jefferson either said or implied.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Well.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
John Adams, however, and I think may have also been
Ben Franklin said, this constitution and this works for a
moral people, which.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
We are well.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Who's not well the people that people. There's a lot
of people who are immoral.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
The primary purpose of government is to protect life, liberty,
and property. The primary purpose of government in the United
States is to protect life, liberty, and property. We need
to talk about whether or not the federal government should
have powers beyond defense, justice courts, and the enforcement of contracts.

(12:35):
That may sound very vague and broad. So and a
natural right of secession if we are really talking about
self determination that I think a state wants to vote
to secede. It ought to be able to again radical concept,
but so was everything the founding father said. The states

(12:57):
need to have complete authority over the people in their
state with very little federal government control. The federal government
should just be a coordinating body. The Tenth Amendment needs
to be expanded. Yeah, while we're at it, we just

(13:17):
come up with a new bill of rights and maybe
make the tenth Amendment the first amendment and move the
First Amendment down to the second Amendment. I think now
it's most important to take the tenth Amendment, make it
a new first Amendment and explicitly stating that any power
not listed in this Constitution is automatically forbidden to the
federal government.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Think about that. We've already said that. It's like we
need another amendment to say those first ten. Yeah, we
meant that.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
That's why I'm saying ten goes to one, and we're
more expressly stated. How about this general Congress? Why do
we have a House and a Senate? I say unicameral, unicameral,
one congress, whatever you want to call it. I don't
want to call it a parliament. One congress, one delegate

(14:01):
per state, and that delegate can be recalled at any
time by their state legislatures. Very easy to supervise, very
easy to have transparency. You have one delegate, you know,
and in school you had one person from a class
representing that class. Why not have one delegate per state?

(14:25):
No standing federal bureaucracy. Third Amendment, no standing, We have
no standing armies somewhere in the constitution.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Quartering of troops, Yes, they have standing armies.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I say, our third Amendment on our bill rights no
standing federal bureaucracy much more dangerous and much more realistic
than quartering soldiers in your home. So our third Amendment
needs to be updated to no standing federal bureaucracy.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And that was all designed to get around the perceived
evils of the spoil system. But the unfortunately the civil
service turned out to have more evil in it than
the spoil system did.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
No standing federal bureaucracy and double down that Congress cannot
delegate lawmaking to agencies. That's why we got in this mess.
It's where dog is doges going from agency and agency,
And boy are the leftist screaming, thank you for not
seeing liberals. We're done calling them liberals. They're not. They're

(15:31):
illiberal statists.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well it's like I always say, don't call them Nazis,
call them what they called themselves, the national socialists.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
These people that are and they're shrinking in numbers, and
they're all starting to look the same. They are pious statists.
How radical am I talking any federal law anything that
this new Congress wants to pass is subject to approval

(15:59):
by at least a majority of the states. We have
the states have to have the ability to prevent federal overreach.
What do you think.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I think that if we can get back to educating
people about what's called the doctrine of enumerated powers and
how everything you try to do in government on a
federal level you have to trace directly to a power
that is specifically outlined.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, and if it's not, then you don't have the
power to do it, or it can be approved by
either a majority of the states or a supermajority two thirds.
You know, two thirds might be too high, but who knows.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
It needs to be harder to make laws.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Needs to be much harder to make federal laws. And
there can be no federal regulations. There's no such thing
as rags. It needs to be a law.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Mark Twain said, no man's wallet is safe while the
government is in session.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
You have agencies and regulations at the state level. I'm
not talking about eliminating agencies Government'm talking about eliminated federal agencies.
I think we need to lift up off the floor
and dust off free speech, free speech, firearms ownership, self defense,

(17:18):
private contracts. For instance, if I want to pay somebody
X amount per hour and it's below a federal minimum wage,
I don't want the Feds telling me the minimum I
should be paying this person. If this job in this
market is only twelve dollars an hour and the Feds

(17:42):
have it at twenty dollars an hour, whatever it may be,
we need to get the government intervention out of private contracts.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
As Thomas Soul said, the original minimum wage laws grew
out of racism. It was to keep Southern blacks from
coming north and taking those jobs.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
If we're going to if we're going to talk about
how we got here, we're going to talk about we're
going to talk about some ugly truths as well. The
people need to know. Privacy needs to be in the
Bill rights. We don't have it. It needs to be
in the Bill Rights, and we need to say what
privacy is. If I type something onto my computer and

(18:20):
it saves on a cloud, that cloud is my privacy.
There is no there is no ability for an investigative
subpoena to get my private letters. You have that going
on right now. When I have clients come in on

(18:41):
computer crimes, they are blown away at what a detective
from Westerville Police Department or Grove City Police Department or
Columbus Police has in their file. Our clients are blown away.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, the Fourth Amendment needs to have some words added
to it, like instead of just privacy in your papers
and effects, it needs to be outlined that that's digital
as well.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Taxes. We are okay being taxed, and we can talk
about taxing what, but a federal tax can only go
to national defense. Maybe we only consider attle bit more
than that. But if I'm going to give up some

(19:25):
of my earnings to the federal government, I only want
it going to national defense and maybe a few other things,
but definitely national defense, but definitely not everything else. Gosh,
we're already out of time on this segment. All right,
take a break. Stick around. We'll got two more segments

(19:47):
on the American Constitution and Bill A. Wright's two point zero,
which would be perfect for a two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
All right, this it is for the defense of the
American people. Coming up on our.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Teeth anniversary, we have, Man, I haven't counted all the shows,
but I know we're over four hundred and we have
over a million plus downloads.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
The listenership across the country is continues to grow via
the podcast the Purple Podcast button on the iPhone. We're
on Spotify. I am now publishing on substack. It's just
under my name at Brad Coffl. Full transparency, not using pseudonyms.

(20:39):
We're going to put stuff out there that we think
is extremely important. Now that the surgery has begun, we
need to get we need to go all the way.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
We're doing exploratory surgery right now.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
We need to go ahead and do all the way.
We may not have, we may not have the lineup
we have right now on the floor. Ever again, Trump,
Doge Russ vote. The men and women that Trump is
surrounding himself with is an all star team.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
It's the twenty nine Yankees, to quote Captain America.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
So if we're going to do it, let's go all
the way. You're going to have to think much bigger
than your thinking. You're going to need to widen your
knowledge of history and economics.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
You have to unlearn a lot of stuff that you
were taught.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yes, and to understand that what we are suggesting, I
would love to say demand is not radical. It's actually
matches what our Founders knew from their own lived experience
and the lived experience of their fathers and grandfathers and
family and ancestors. It's just that the power opposing them

(21:57):
is no longer wearing red coats, and they don't of bannets.
It's a different oppositional force. So we do need to
potentially scrap everything everything US Constitution and Bill of Wrights included,

(22:18):
scrap it all and put in the new ones. Thomas
Jefferson and other founders never been Franklin never thought that
this thing with their original constitution would be lasting this long.
And that's why it's out of control. Because the courts
expanded things like the commerce clause, because various special interest

(22:44):
figured out how to get their lawyers onto the court.
We can talk a lot about that, but this is radical,
but it's not. It's radical compared to what you've been taught,
but it's really not. We have to go all the way.

(23:05):
The federal budget must be balanced. In this constitution, the
federal budget must be balanced, and deficit spending must be
illegal and unconstitutional.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
We also have to make sure that we understand what
we're talking about when we say balance the budget. People
say that the social Security administration and all of its funding.
Is that's not part of the balanced budget. Yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
You're going to hear this word, guys. You're going to
hear this word more and more this spring and this winter.
The power of impoundment, that is the executive branch, the
president's refusal to spend congress approved funds. Our constitution, our
new constitution, must make the power of impoundment absolute. That

(23:53):
guarantees no forced government expansion. We have to have the
checks and balances, because you've said Congress's runaway. They're under
the control of special interest. The only way to check
and balance that is that they have the power of impoundment.
As it relates to foreign policy, it must. It has

(24:14):
to be in our constitution that we shall not engage
in foreign interventions whatever you want to call it, foreign
aid and alliances. Think about this. Why are we giving
foreign aid? Why do we have automatic go to war
treaties with dozens of countries that have no for US

(24:41):
real meaningful interest to main Street, Wapacnetta. We cannot engage
in foreign intervention, We cannot be writing checks foreign aid,
and we cannot be in any foreign alliances. We don't
need them. We're the United States of America. We have

(25:02):
unbelievable natural boundaries and people. We are an armed people.
Because our new Bill of Rights has made has reinvigorated
the right to self defense and the right to firearms.
There will be no more conversation on CNN or Fox
News on the Second Amendment. That's over. I want a

(25:26):
privately funded malicious system. Think about this. Our national defense
is going to be tech, it's going to be unmanned,
it's going to be tech driven. I think that we
need a privately funded malicious system. It's something to think about,

(25:50):
and it needs to be a voluntary association of the states.
Needs to come from the states where we have a
state militia to protect our homeland and the interior of
our homeland. We need to know that when North Carolina

(26:11):
gets run over by floods and whatever else, we know
that we have a privately funded militia that doesn't have
to get through red tape. They can be activated and
they're there. As it relates to the court system general,

(26:35):
I think the federal courts should just be resolving disputes
between states. I don't know what else they need to
be involved in. Why, Because we're taking our court systems
back down to states and county local. You do not

(26:56):
want federal agents showing up at your door. It is impossible.
By the time the federal agents get to your door,
which is why this is why I don't do fer
criminal defense. By the time they show up, they have
all the evidence against you. They've plowed through your email,
They've plowed through your private writings, They've plowed through your

(27:17):
Google docs, They've plowed through your.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Drop box, your search history.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
They've probably listened in on your phone calls. I have
been in. I've heard my conversations with with with clients
have to be excluded because you know, I was representing
an Ohio State trooper who was under investigation for something

(27:42):
and the FBI had been wired tapping him, including his
phone calls with me his lawyer. We cannot have federal
courts and federal laws. We need all criminal enforcement to
be at the at the state level. This is not
you know, these are ideas that need to be talked

(28:03):
about the Supreme Court. The Federal Supreme Court justices are
not appointed by the federal bureaucracy. It is a ten
year term limits, no lifetime appointments, and we figure out
a way that our justices come up through the state legislatures.

(28:28):
This is a big one to general I think people
will like this one. No income tax that was in
the original Constitution.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
They had to have an amendment to allow it.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
No federal income tax, no federal sales tax. All taxation
must be voluntary. It has to be based on user fees.
If the federal government needs revenue, it needs to find
another way to get its money other than taxing our income.

(29:01):
Maybe a bale and taxing sales. We got to get
rid of the Central Bank. Sorry, we got to get
rid of the federal Reserve. That needs to be abolished.
All government officials must publicly disclose all financial ties and
conflicts of interest. Yes, and throw them on a freaking polygraph.

(29:23):
No elected official can serve more than one term of
four years. So this is where I'm going. You're going
to hear more radical stuff like this, guys, and the
illiberal left and the uniparty, and even some center right

(29:43):
and maybe some conservatives. They are going to go, whoa, whoa,
you guys are crazy. Nope, this is pretty much right
where our original founders wanted the damn country to be. Anyway,
let's get her back on the track. Thanks for listening,
Thanks to chus around. What did I miss something? Oh no,
we have one more segment. General, I thought we were done.

(30:04):
Stick around. Awesome, We've got one more segment, final segment.
I'm Attorney Brad Kopfel, and that is Attorney Eric Wilson. Comments, criticism, thoughts, suggestions. Authors,
you like substack, you like X, people you follow on X,

(30:30):
send them to us. All options are on the table.
We need to make sure that what's happening, the momentum
that's happening right now, this revolution that's happening, the glorious revolution,
the bloodless, bulletless, not quite bulletless revolution, goes all the way.

(30:52):
This can't just be a party realignment. This can't just
be the Labor Union members moving over to the Republican Party.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
This just can't be that can't be moving the deck
chairs on the Titanic.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
This needs to be a total rehaul, overhaul of the
entire federal system and what we've been talking about the
last few segments the show before. This may sound radical
and crazy, but two things. Number one, the original founders,

(31:28):
what they did was much more radical relative to their
times than what is happening right now in America with
Donald Trump and where it's going. And number two we
have to keep we may not have this lineup on
the on the floor again, on the ice again. America's

(31:53):
turning red. I'm a huge history nerd. You are, many
of our listeners are. What's happening is unparalleled. This is
not only reversing a century of permanent welfare state, permanent
warfare state, permanent administrative state, and imperialism that's broken the

(32:20):
You don't know how wealthy you could be right now
if we'd stuck to the original principles. You don't know
how rich you would be right now had we just
stuck with the original constitution and not expanded it into
economic interference and government intervention.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Let me give you an example of that. You take
a highly regulated industry like the automobile industry, which of
course the regulations all came at the behalf to Ford,
Chrysler and GM to keep upstarts like Tesla from happening. Okay,
it's a highly regulated industry, and therefore the cars of today,
while they're better than they were in the nineteen fifties

(33:01):
and forties, they're still about the same car now Compare
that to an industry that is not regulated at all,
which is the home computer. Compare where the home computer
was back in the nineteen eighties, early nineteen eighties, costing
five thousand dollars per unit in nineteen eighty two dollars

(33:22):
you could buy a corvette for that new back then,
compared to what it is now, where you can buy
a laptop that is portable and is two hundred million
times better in every way than that old clunky thing
you bought back in nineteen eighty one and yet costs
five hundred dollars. M.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
H Well said, you have to think much bigger. You're
going to have to think much broader. You must. We've
strongly encouraged you and your and your friends and family
spread the word. Stop listening to the news, stop reading
the these newspapers. It's all biased. There's no transparency. You

(34:05):
just have to find organic, independent voices to follow, and
you must spot the pious status. You need to be
able to identify what we're calling the class of pious status.
The pious being the people who know better than you.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
They're all here for your good.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
And status, meaning you can't do everything the government must
do it You have to highlight and shine a bright
light on any Republican pious status and any Democrat pious status,
and they need to get run out of town. Go
back to your insurance agency, go back to selling cars,

(34:50):
Go get a job, get off the government's dole, Go
get into the private marketplace your god given talents be
in the government sector. If you do have some God
given talents that would greatly benefit the rest of us,
and you think the best way to deploy those talents

(35:12):
would be to step into the state House or Congress
for a term, then run, but you got one term,
that's it. Otherwise, figure out how to be the person
you're called to be. Leave us alone. And if your

(35:33):
God given talents, as long as you don't spoil them
or waste them or bury them.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
We need you, start a business.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
We need you, Okay, we need you. How much ingenuity
entrepreneurialism has been suppressed because people have been trained like
dogs to go find a job in the government. Don't
go looking for a job in the government. That is

(36:02):
not the place to for your innate talents to come out.
It's impossible. It's just not. Now. We see Elon doing it,
but he's in and he's out right talk to your
kids about being self employed, Talk to your kids about

(36:23):
figuring out what their passions are and realize, Hey, you
don't need to make You don't need to make hundreds
and hundreds of thousands of dollars. You don't you do
in this world right now? Apparently, But let's get a
lot of this funny money out of here. Let's get

(36:44):
the currency back to gold and a gold standard or
a silver standard, or a blockchain.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Some sort of objective standard.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Yeah, something that has innate wealth in and of itself.
It can't more, can't be made, right, And if there's
to be industrial expansion, it's going to come through the
private marketplace.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, we've seen what happens with industrial expansion after the
Civil War, going all the way up until about nineteen
oh five or nineteen oh eight, and what we had
was falling costs of products, Yes, and deflation. De Inflation
is the natural progression. Inflation is the government artificial progression.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
The government intervention of the late eighteen hundreds early nineteen
hundreds was big business using their pals in Congress to
isolate competition. Why, because there are only two ways to
deal with competition in the private marketplace, you either decrease

(37:55):
your prices or you go buy your competition trusts. But
trust didn't work.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Trust don't work, also known as cartels, but they work.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Or you go to Congress and you pass laws and
regulations that are specifically the way it's all written out,
it specifically harms their competitors to the indirect and or
direct benefit of the people who pitched the idea of
the Congress to begin with, and then they called it

(38:30):
to protect the consumer. Let me give an example. If
I'm fortunate enough to be in as many many many
other people are to be what's known as I think
it's called a qualified investor, which means that the federal
government will allow me to use my hard earned money

(38:50):
to invest in a private syndicate, a private enterprise, and
when that private syndicate goes public, the idea is that
you make a lot of money when you're on the inside.
Pre IPO the federal government.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Means initial public offering of stock.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
The federal government has regulations to protect the consumers that
you must be You must have seven figures in that wealth.
You must have a certain income of I don't know
what it is now. In our half a million dollars
before you can participate in these types of investments. That's

(39:37):
where wealth is made. And that's an example of federal
government intervention that is absolutely one sided, unfair, inequitable, and
needs to be eliminated. So with our remaining seconds, again,

(39:57):
I don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we don't
need any form of government at all. I'm just saying
the federal government needs to be dramatically, dramatically remade, and
whatever other stuff to control society needs to drop down
to the cities and counties, then the states. Thanks for listening,

(40:20):
