Speaker 1 (00:28):
Would say it's in a crucial stage. It's not because
of foreign most way, it's order to cut us blue
and red. She said, losses to launch government. You can
tell me where the council too, shall went? Billow Rice
is just hanging by read. So many people try.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
To cross the order.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Politicians build a new world, hold too many buds.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
On the dig stage shot, I've got it, bring.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
The way, God name, rule by the dam when take
your right to self defense to sing signal that they
don't make sense, scheme nature, demons will not the damn guns.

Speaker 6 (01:28):
All a disaster, all the yes made out shorts day,

Bring either way, God name, rule by the damn. Got

(02:33):

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Hello, and welcome to today's broadcast of Tapping to the Truth.
I hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are
and whatever.

Speaker 8 (02:51):
You may be doing.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
With all the usual caveats of course, with you as always,
I am your ever so humble and mostly peaceful host,
Tim Tap coming to you live from historic Rome, County, Tennessee,
and we are indeed live thanks to great digital platforms
broadcasting around the world, you know, platforms like the case

(03:12):
Star Talk Radio Network, platforms like Liberty Talk FM.

Speaker 8 (03:18):
And of course we can't leave out the Vera networks.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
That's right, And you might possibly be driving around Columbia,
South Carolina tuned in to w c e T FM,
and if that's the case, welcome to the soul currently
remaining terrestrial radio station that I'm currently aware of that
we're going live out. Meanwhile, you may also be listening

(03:44):
on one of the many podcast platforms where you listen
to audio podcasts, and if that's the case, listening after
the fact, thank you so much for joining us regardless.
Now I am on a bit of a losing streak
right now. I'm embarrassed, and I have to mention a
programming note. And that's part of what I'm embarrassed about.

(04:06):
You see, the last three scheduled guests have been no
shows for one reason or another, and now number four
in a row it's coming up. I am sad to
say that doctor Carroll Lieberman will not be joining us

(04:26):
this evening.

Speaker 8 (04:28):
We weren't able to.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Connect with doctor Carroll. Oh, there's a station in Oklahoma,
in a station in Washington State. All right, I need
to call letters for those so I can call them
out that we need to track that inflow down.

Speaker 8 (04:40):
But thank you.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
So we're on three terrestrial radio stations Oklahoma, Washington State,
and of course in South Carolina, so where we are
listening live.

Speaker 8 (04:49):
Thank you for doing so.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
But we missed doctor Lieberman on the Rumble Channel last week,
and it re scheduled her for the first slot here
this week. And then evidently there was some miscommunication somewhere,
so doctor Carol Lieberman will not be joining us tonight.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
But we went from that to.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Right, we went from that to coming last Friday night show,
Ron Edwards got tied up and he wasn't able to
join us, so that was number one missed hit. Doctor
James Thorpe was supposed to join us last night on
the Rumble Channel, he wasn't able to. And Vander Steel
was supposed to join us on the Rumble Channel last night,

(05:37):
she wasn't able to. And now Doctor Harris, so let's
four in a row. We've got to break that streak.
We are still scheduled. As far as I know, everything's greenlit.
We will be talking to Paul Stridler a little bit later.
I'm gonna be talking about the UH. I'm getting the
double thumbs up from the control room. We should be
good to go. We're talking about new jobs for working

(05:58):
Americans thanks to the help of AI Interesting. We'll have
that conversation. Then in the second hour, as is the
normal arrangement for the first Friday of the month, we'll
be talking with mister Richard the Battle and we've got
the thumbs up, double thumbs up in fact, coming from
the control room there as well. So we've been in

(06:20):
touch and unless disaster strikes, we will break the street
somewhere around there. And you know, I'm just not willing
to put that out of the realm of bussibility because
I've been doing this for more than two minutes. That
being said, I'm just grateful to have the crazy Caging

(06:41):
in the control room helping to make sure and as
he is showing right now, drag up because you can't.

Speaker 8 (06:47):
Drink down all right. Before we go any further.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
I do want to say a quick shout out to
all you snack warriors out there. If you're busy, you're driven,
you're pushing the lim It's then you need fuel that's
going to keep pace and help you keep pace. And
that's where One Way Jerky comes in. This isn't some
mystery meat leftover pieces dripping and oozing in some ridiculous

(07:16):
off Terryochi style flavoring. No, No, this is one hundred
percent real beef brisket, slow cooked in the us of
a tender, flavorful and packed with protein to keep you strong.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
And on the go.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Flavors include their original, a sweet teriaki, a sweet and
spicy mango, a spicy.

Speaker 8 (07:40):
Barbecue, and the hot brisket.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
These Pavle profiles literally range from the savory sweet to
the painfully bold. I'll be stayed away from that one.
I'm pretty sure Doug will too. Right now if this
is your first order, in fact, that he's working on
some brisket jerky right now, that's your an old pineapple terrycky.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
That's the good stuff right there. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Anyway, right now, your first order with the One Way
Jerky is shipping to you free. You can get a
ten percent discount using the code tender that's te n
d R. Just keep in mind we're talking about real
brisk get zero compromise delivered to your door. So if

(08:27):
you're craving that melt in your mouth, high protein snacks
that only One Way Jerky can provide, Yeah, I'm getting
another thumbs up with a yoming you know. And again
that's part of what I hate about things not working
out with Jerky. With Jerky Snob, those guys are fantastic

(08:50):
and they got a lot of great products. But anyway,
we're promoting one Way jerky right now, right now. If
you want to get some one Way jerky, you get
to choose to flavors completely up to you. All you
have to do is go to tap into food dot Com,
that is tapp into food dot Com and check it

(09:12):
out for yourself. One Way Jerky. We're talking about the
good stuff, all right. So it's gonna be just you
and me, guys for the first thirty minutes, and I'm
kind of having a tough time deciding what i want
to talk about. There's so much stuff that's been going
on the last several days. I thought I would maneuver

(09:34):
away from the stuff that everybody's already been talking about.
So what you say, we picked some cool a little
off to the thing. I'm going to jump the fence
and go the other way. Jerky Okay. So let's start out,
subscription gotchat. Let's start out talking about what's going on

(09:57):
in eastern Michigan. Right now, there is a city in
eastern Michigan that is becoming the first in the nation
have an American police force that has Arabic on its patch.
So less than a week after the Western Michigan University

(10:20):
football team caused quite a stir by having one of
its players take the field with his name written in
Arabic on his jersey, a city just west of Detroit
and close to the Canadian border announced its police force
will also feature the foreign language. Now, I will remind

(10:40):
you that this is not a question of inclusion. This
is a question of being a cohesive nation, of having
a shared culture.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
That is the point we're not supposed to self isolate.
This is literally laying the.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Groundwork for just acknowledgment that this is a Sharia police force.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
Now.

Speaker 8 (11:05):
I know everybody's saying, tell me, you're overreacting, am I?
Though am I? The Dearborn Heights Police Department.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
Is proud, proud, they say, to share a new optional
patch that their officers will be able to wear as
part of their uniform.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
Again, I'm I'm shaking my head here.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
The patch displays the Michigan Seal in the center, with
Dearborn Heights Police written around it in both English and Arabic.
Quoting from a post from the Police Service, this patch
was created by officer Emily Murdoch. Doesn't sound particularly Arabic.

(11:53):
Who designed it to reflect and to honor the diversity
of our community. Wrong, another woke numbskull trying to seem
like they're a good ally. Another leftist woman, And I'm sorry,
I think we have enough factual data to clearly point

(12:17):
out that at this moment in time, all leftist white women.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
Are clinically insane.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
I'm just gonna say it. And the sad part is
I'm laughing. I'm chuckling, but I'm not joking. We were
talking about the results from this national poll just a
couple of weeks ago, and I think it's holding true.

(12:45):
Murdoch on like one hundred radio stations. Okay, anyway, Emily
Murdoch not the same Murdoc.

Speaker 8 (12:55):
What is going on.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
The Police Department here is claiming that it included the
Arabic script it was a sign of unity and respect
and a shared commitment to service, when in truth, they
have such a large section in their community, several neighborhoods
where the police aren't allowed to go anyway. They're looking
to try and get a little bit of acceptance so

(13:19):
that folks will oh, ah, that's the police, Okay, I
guess they're not just any regular infidel. Quoting here also
from this particular post, We're proud of Officer Murdoch's creativity
and dedication in helping our department better represent the people

(13:43):
we serve.

Speaker 8 (13:44):
Question, what part is the creative part? Exactly?

Speaker 5 (13:51):
I mean it says the name of the city, and
that it says police in English and then says police
in Arabic.

Speaker 8 (13:58):
Where's the creativity. I'm not sure that that's particularly creative.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Again, to still a Michigan in the center, Dearborn Heights
police English and then Arabic.

Speaker 8 (14:12):
Oh, what part is creative? I'm not saying it.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
Somebody helped me here. Maybe it's just looking at my
East Tennessee eyes here. Maybe if I was part of
Dearborn Heights I would better understand. Maybe that is creative
for the people working for them. Now, that's the closest
thing to creativity. They actually only asked chat GPT for

(14:38):
two suggestions.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
Wow, amazing.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
One must mean for Edward Dearborn in stand Well, yeah,
that's exactly right, except Dearborn Heights is a different community
from just Dearborn, Michigan. They're very close together. Once upon
a time they were all part of the same Now
they're two separate cities. But yes, basically that expansion of

(15:07):
dear Born as Stan is what you're seeing going on there.
So absolutely correct there in the control room, crazy Cagin,
He's like.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
Of course, I knew it the whole time.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
That's why I live down here in Louisiana, where the
craziest thing I have to deal with are democrats in
some of the bigger cities and gators in the swamp.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
And I don't go in the swamp. Okay, anyway, this
this is crazy. This is crazy. I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
This is a step first step along the way. It's
it's only gonna get worse. Uh Now, I wish this
was the craziest thing going on. Last night, I played
a video clip that showed a difference over on the
Rumble Channel, of course, between Jasmine Crockett when she first

(16:03):
was running for office, and then how Jasmine Crockett was
caught on video over the past weekend. Now, Democratic Representative
Jasmine Crockett of the Great State of Texas, although she
probably doesn't.

Speaker 8 (16:18):
Belong there, she provided a defense.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Not for criminal behavior, not for cultural appropriations, not for
pretending to be a hood rat, as Saragunzalez would call her. No,
not for pretending any of those things. Because she is
pretending she's a privileged kid from Missouri. Everybody should know that,

(16:46):
especially in Texas.

Speaker 8 (16:47):
But I don't think the people that voted for her due.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
But no, she was giving a defense for crime. Yes,
scrap see, the Democrats are again are for crime and criminality.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
Now we've proven it.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
We used to joke and get around that if Donald
Trump was to just come out and say that he
was for oxygen, that every Democrat in the country would
just collectively hold their breath until they passed out. And
now I believe that's not a joke. I believe that
is literally a thing that would happen. Jasmin Crockett was

(17:26):
arguing that poverty simply makes people more susceptible to engage
in certain things. It'sn't acute she's taking the old han
Omar approach. Some people did some things in this case,
engage in certain things, the things you're talking about, Missus Crockett.

(17:48):
Representative Crockett is crime. Crockett literally defending criminals in an
interview with The Grounded Podcasts back this past Wednesday, claiming
that the only reason people commit crimes just because they
literally are trying to survive. I mean, we're watching Limiz

(18:12):
in the middle of downtown Detroit or in the middle
of Houston. I don't know where she's getting this idea.

Speaker 8 (18:19):
We're just trying to survive.

Speaker 9 (18:23):
Now.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
I don't know about the neighborhoods that you live in.
But most of the criminals that are engaging in the
activities we're talking about here, going about moving and selling
drugs in particular, most of them are dressing better, excess
arising better, and driving better cars than I am.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
And I'm working my backside out.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
I don't think it's just about surviving there, Jasmine.

Speaker 8 (18:49):
You can make better choices. You can make better choices.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Doug is reminding me that if you're happy to be
in dear Bornistan, maybe that's a good thing. Be prepared
to commit crime because you're gonna have to be packing
to protect yourself from the Arabic police.

Speaker 8 (19:13):
It just now. Not only did Jasmine Crockett everybody's favorite fake.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Code switching kid from the block. She didn't just talk
about how they're literally trying to survive. She also argued
that there is quote no good point in prosecuting certain
kinds of crime because she used them as acts of desperation. Wow,

(19:47):
saying quote, just because you're impoverished does.

Speaker 8 (19:51):
Not mean that you will be a criminal.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Okay, then why would you lower the bar to accept
that behavior from anybody? And let me ask you another question, Jasmine,
if the criminal committing the exact same act, who literally
is just trying to survive, happened to be white.

Speaker 8 (20:11):
Would you be just dis forgiving.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Because something tells me you might not think so, especially
if that white criminal happened to commit that crime against you.
Although something really kind of nags in the back of
my mind here, I'm thinking even it was a black
criminal just trying to survive, if they perpetrated the crime

(20:39):
against Representative Crockett, she probably wouldn't be quite so forgiving
then either, as George Underkip pointed out last night, and
then also Greg, who was hanging out in the chat room.
He said it multiple times in the chat room, and again,
I'm trying to encourage you guys to come hang out

(20:59):
and rumbo livestream a little bit. We need more folks
over there for the live bits. But Greg kept pointing
out in the chat room that this kind of activity
just doesn't affect these people, and they really don't because
they're living their life somewhere outside of the realm of

(21:22):
where the law abiding citizens who are having to put
up with the crime are actually at. If you're willing
to acknowledge that being impoverished doesn't mean you're going to
be a criminal, then you should expect that no one
should be a criminal. I mean, that is why we
pass laws and attach criminal punishments, because we expect people

(21:44):
not to do these things. Being poor, being rich, that's
not a factor in the expectation for our social contract.
Continuing with what she had to say, quote, but I
do want to be clear that there is a direct
link between poverty and susceptibility having to engage in now

(22:09):
I disagree. Where is your evidence of that, Jasmine? I
tend to think that actually it's a question of how
you're raised and what your faith looks like. I tend
to think that if you're raised to believe that you
need to show up and work and earn, that this.

Speaker 8 (22:32):
Isn't a problem.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
It's only when you're taught that life is cheap, that
life is meaningless, and there's no way to make it
in the US no matter how hard you work, that
you are a victim, regardless of anything you do. If
you're taught that to the point that you believe it,
I think that is.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
A much bigger indicator.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
All right, We've just got a few more minutes before
time to move on, and I want to just sneak
this one in real quick. Evidently we need to be
keeping an eye out for this moving forward, for the
challenging of the auto pin pardons, because contrary to Joe

(23:18):
Biden's claim that he made the clemency decisions during his presidency,
there's mounting evidence to the contrary. Something tells me we'll
be talking about that a lot more in the coming future.
So real quick, before we take our mid hour break,
I want to remind you about Morning Kick. Yes, the

(23:40):
daily revolutionary drink from Rownhouse Provisions that Chuck Norris says
is the primary reason why he is still at eighty
five years of age, more active and in better shape
than most people in their twenties.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
And Douglas doing his contra right now. Yeah, yeah, I'm
digging it all right. So what you need to know
about Morning Kick.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
It combines ultra potent dreams like spirolina with kail, with probiotics, probiotics, collagen,
and even ashawagandha. You mix up with water or like
I do with green tea and enjoy this one's supposed
to be the strawberry lemonade. They do have a new
flavor now, mint watermelod.

Speaker 8 (24:22):
Check it all out.

Speaker 8 (24:54):
Your flying high with Timtown tappin into the trup.

Speaker 10 (25:08):
The United States is now blessed with a president who
is working for the benefit of our republic. Hello, I'm
Ron Edwards on today's page from the Average Notebook, brought
to you by Root Brand's premium products. The recent gathering
of dictators and one prime minister hosted by Jiji Ping
was in direct response to President Trump seeking to equal
opportunities for US manufacturers. For several decades, many nations, including allies,

(25:32):
have used terrorists to block US manufacturers from exporting US
goods to their shores and stores. India, a so called
friend of America, has imposed two hundred percent tariffs against
US made products like Harley Davison. In fact, most nations
throughout the world have gotten quite used to taking advantage
of the United States, which until President Trump was encouraged

(25:54):
by many US politicians, including libertarian Rand Paul, who saw
nothing wrong with America last and it comes to free
trade with huge tariffs against US producers. Senator Paul, like
many career politicians, don't care a lick about the dangers
of a nation that has to depend on enemies like
China or medicines. If Senator Paul and others have a

(26:15):
problem with tariffs, they need to go study the history
of tariffs and how they blessed this Republic until nineteen thirteen,
when income taxes in the federal Reserve system open the
door to problems that could soon sink a republican too oblivion.
I'm run It works.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
These stock design specific for people who haven't started investing yet,
or don't know how to do it, or having to
train how to do it, or are worried about investing in.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
The stock market that they've never done before.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
It's a robo advisor system that really simplifies the investment process.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
The challenge we all.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
Have is that as you work and grow in your career,
you have to something aside for yourself when you retire
around sixty five years old. And the idea of being
Stocks is to simplify that whole process.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
In other words, put.

Speaker 7 (27:08):
Aside ten percent of your salary each week, maybe just
one hundred dollars, and let it go to work in
the stock market for you. And what Beingstock does is
basically automate that process for you.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Easy to set up.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
You can transfer birthly to your bank account and puts
it into exchange traded funds, which are baskets of many stocks,
which gives you diversification that's the whole key, the idea
that you can have this done for you weekly or
bi monthly.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
But the most important thing is to start.

Speaker 7 (27:33):
Now and make it so that you are putting something
aside for your own retirement. Being stocks just makes it
really simple to do.

Speaker 9 (27:50):

Speaker 13 (30:38):
You when.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
You're listening to Tap into the Troy, don't go to man,
no price on your.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
No, you can't do the time.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Oh right, everybody, thank you so very much for stained
with us through that very brief break. Don't know why,
but suddenly I feel like I'm heading into an old
school seventies rumble right about now.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
I think the music might be affecting me. I love
some of the stuff Doug pulls out, It's fantastic.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Before we get back to the action, I do need
to remind you that you really really should not be
doing business with companies that hate you, or even if
they don't necessarily hate you, want to take their profits
and use it to help fund things that are fundamentally
oppositional to your principles.

Speaker 8 (32:05):
And your beliefs.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
That's why I really really like Patriot Mobile. Look, they
are the nation's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And if
you have Internet service right now, making the switches easy,
and I guarantee you your service will be just as
good or better than it is right now. Why because
they use the same three major networks that everybody else

(32:30):
is using.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
They just they don't have to pay the.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Upkeep for it because they didn't build those networks the upshut.
There is beyond that. They don't hate you, they don't
hate America. They're not funding Planned Parenthood.

Speaker 8 (32:46):
Or the Beto A.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
Rourke pack in Texas. They're funding means of protecting the
sanctity of life. They're helping first responders. They're standing up
for veterans and active duty service members. They're there to

let's get back to the actions, shall we, Ladies and gentlemen.
We have a gentleman who has been kind enough to

(34:35):
join us on multiple occasions. He is a senior fellow
with the Lexicon. Now I'm getting tongue tied all of
a sudden with the Lexington Institute annunciation being important for
the radio, and he in my mind, he's one of
the best spokespeople for policy because when you talk to him,

(34:58):
he doesn't talk down to you. He keeps it easy
enough for you to understand, and he is quite honestly,
more often than not the smartest guy in the room,
but never actually like it. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
back to the show once again, mister Paul Streidler. Paul,
thank you so much for joining us again. Before we

(35:20):
get started, how are you today?

Speaker 14 (35:23):
No, I'm doing great then, especially after that introduction. I
mean I could sit here and just let you talk
the rest of the night. But that was very kind
and it's great to be back with you and back
with your listeners.

Speaker 8 (35:38):
All right, well, we're certainly glad to have you.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
I want to jump right into our primary topic because
you know, last time you were with us, we were
talking about AI and how it can be used in
positive directions, and this seems to be a message that
you're continuing to bring in. We have some economic news
coming in and some data that supports the notion that

(36:04):
unlike this dramatic job killer that everybody was predicting just
a few weeks ago, that AI is actually helping to
create opportunities for American workers. And we've seen this kind
of thing in the past, where a new technology comes
along and we think that because an industry is going

(36:26):
to have to change or a new industry is going
to have to take its place. That that spells gloom
and doom for the American worker, but usually it's just
a matter of adapting to the new norms. And right
now what we're seeing is opportunities in a vast number
of ways, and we'll kind of go into some of
the different ones as we look at it.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
But obviously you're not surprised by any of this.

Speaker 7 (36:51):
No.

Speaker 14 (36:53):
Two and a half years ago the Biden administration, with
the breakthrough the Chat chief, he was extremely pessimistic about AI.
They talked about how there were potentially going to be
huge amounts of layoffs, how the system was going to
be to all types of malicious, dangerous attacks. And the

(37:16):
reality is none of that has happened in the past
two and a half years, and we've had a very
thorough rollout of AI. The person who I think best
captures what AI is about and the opportunities that it
presents for the working playoffs, as Vice President J. D. Dance,

(37:37):
who has spoken about this extensively. You know, three weeks
into office, he went to a meeting a lot of
global elites and tech officials and others in Paris, and
he made it very clear that this administration was going
to focus on AI not only to make sure that

(38:00):
the United States is the dominant provider of it so
that the communist Chinese are not, but so that it
benefits working people. And he said something there that I
think bears repeating and bears keeping in mind throughout this discussion,
and that's the Vice President said, we believe and we

(38:20):
will fight for policies that ensure that AI is going
to make our workers more productive, and we expect that
they will reap the rewards with higher wages, better benefits,
and safe and more prosperous communities. You know, AI is
just another in a long string of technological major technological

(38:41):
innovations that the US has led the world on, be
it electricity, be it farming equipment, be it any number
of things that have made it enabled workers to be
more efficient and raised everybody's quality of life. And there
are going to be transition issues, certainly, and some hip

(39:03):
hops in the road, but you know, we fundamentally should
focus on this with optimism, enthusiasm, and the can do
attitude that has made America great for two and a
half centuries.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
Here, right, Yeah, I think what we really look at
when we see the capabilities of what AI has done
early on, and this just comes with generally creative folks
that are playing with their own art around the edges,
and then the very serious business folks that are plowing in.

(39:38):
In both cases, two things remain clear. Number One, the
spark of creativity is still uniquely human and AI can
do a lot of things, but that uniqueness still has
to be controlled by an individual for it to be
that special thing. But it is a dounding how much

(40:02):
faster you can do certain things.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
Now.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
I happen to also work for a manufacturing company as
well as doing this, and within the context of my
responsibilities there, I have seen firsthand the transition for what
some of the folks that work in our marketing department
have had to do, where they would spend hours trying

(40:24):
to use Photoshop, for example, to get images just the
right way and to get that approval, where now with
just a few prompts, we can surpass what they were
able to do before in so much little time. So
their ability to move forward and then move on to
the next project is so exponentially increased that small businesses

(40:48):
in particular, which typically is one of the primary measures
that we use here in the American economy. They're just
exponentially capable of getting so much much more. I guess
empowerments the word I'm looking for now that you're absolutely.

Speaker 14 (41:06):
Spot on there, Tim, And this is an issue that
has been studied by an organization called the Small Business
and Entrepreneurial Ship Council, which represents tens of thousands of
small businesses across the country, and they found that fifty
eight percent of small businesses are already deploying AI tools,

(41:28):
and they're using it for some of the things that
you mentioned. For branding materials, financial management is very common.
It helps expedite doing your bookkeeping, It helps with customer support,
it can help with email marketing, making those functions more efficient. Now,

(41:51):
the AI is not necessarily going to replace a marketing person,
but it enables that person to be much more efficient
and to focus on things that are more critical, like
talking directly with customers or prospective customers that are out there.
And I think it's really there's a saying that's been
going around on the internet that if you do not

(42:16):
apply AI to your job, eventually you're going to be
replaced by somebody who's applying AI. You know, it's a
tool that's out there. It doesn't replace the judgment of
human beings, and there are certain things and human beings
definitely have to drive this as they are doing. But again,

(42:38):
it is a tool that makes life much more efficient,
much as electricity did, much as the automobile did it.
And the world is going to be embracing AI. The
Chinese are rapidly deploying it, and whether you like it
or not, we have to be on top of this
because otherwise we're going to be in a world that's

(42:59):
dominated and dictated to by the Chinese about the economic
systems that we have, the type of information that's generated,
the type of values that are reflected in at algorithm.
So it's a tremendous amount of upside here and something
that I think more and more people are starting to embrace.

(43:23):
I think a key reason for that is the leadership
of this administration, which is making clear that it is
not focused on AI just from the standpoint of what
it means for the tech experts out there or the investors.
But you know, like electricity in cars, this is something
that fundamentally should benefit working class Americans and all Americans

(43:46):
out there.

Speaker 5 (43:48):
Yeah, and in so many ways that even Harry yet
to be revealed. I think that's the part that's really
going to be the game changer as people become more
comfortable with it, because right now we're still trying to
overcome folks that are literally expecting and I have to

(44:08):
raise my hand and admit I was on this particular
train at one point. It's a little embarrassing, but a
lot of folks are still half expecting AI to suddenly
switch over to Skynet and then we're having to fight
off Arnold Schwarzenegger looking robots, and that level of fear

(44:29):
interrepidation always comes with major innovation. And the important thing,
as you pointed out, is that we have to remember
that we are the driving force here. And another thing
that's kind of played itself out that we've seen based
on the different models is that you still have to
be knowledgeable in what you're doing in order to use

(44:50):
these tools to the optimal level. So, yes, as you
pointed out, this isn't going to be replacing people. It's
only going to be allowing people to get a lot
more accomplished and establish not just that productivity level, but
hopefully other rewards as well, like those raises we were
talking about, but also maybe some more free time where

(45:12):
they can pursue other things. I think the real message
here kind of came from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas,
which you pointed out in your town hall piece right
before Labor Day, having to do with the fact that

(45:32):
they're taking a serious look at what evidence is available
to and right now this is playing out pretty much
exactly as you predicted when on your last visit here,
because not only does it work for small business and
other businesses, but you still have medical care, you still
have a legal impairment. Now you literally can ask a

(45:55):
few simple questions and a few basic prompts and get
a wealth of legal knowledge. Again, it doesn't replace the
lawyer you may have to hire, but it certainly gives
you a better idea of what you're going to be asking,
what type of help you need and what type of
lawyer you need to go talk to.

Speaker 14 (46:12):
Yeah, and Tim, you've mentioned a number of important points
there that I'd like to comment on. First, in terms
of the fear about AI out there, you know, these
monstrous robots coming out or you know other scenarios that
are put forward. Let's keep in mind the United States

(46:34):
has a very diverse and a very very wide ranging
AI sector out there. One of the things that the
Biden administration tried to do in the early and mid
part of twenty twenty four was to basically get AI

(46:54):
under the control of the federal government so there would
only be two to three major companies developing and deploying
this going forward. And that's something that's set off a
lot of the Silicon Valley opposition to the Biden administration
and them to come around supporting President Trump very strongly.

(47:15):
So even if you have a company out there that
has an AI system or robot or whatever scenario can
come to mind here that does a lot of bad stuff,
there are a lot of other companies that are going
to point out that that's dangerous, that that's bad. People
are going to have alternatives for what's for what's being used,

(47:39):
and that's something that that's something that the people of
China do not have the benefit of. They've got state
control of what's being developed there. So we have they
broad and diverse AI industry here at all sectors of
how AI is developed and uh the outputs for it

(48:04):
is very crucial, very very beneficial here, and you know
from a medical standpoint, there are there is great stuff
on the horizon medically here. You know, pretty soon in
about a year or two, it's going to be common
for people who are in hospitals or people who are

(48:25):
going to the doctor with a with a very serious
situation to be able to get a recording in a
transcribed discussion about what has been discussed. And that's critical
for eliminating misunderstandings. It's critical for making sure that drugs

(48:47):
and medical conditions are properly known and properly spelled out.
It eliminates a lot of uncertainty, a lot of stress,
which in medical situations is very difficult. And I think
you know, I've been through the experience and I would
imagine a number of your listeners have as well. Of

(49:08):
being in the hospital with a condition. A doctor walks
in at six point thirty in the morning, it's the
only time you're going to see him for the day.
You want to be geared up to ask him questions
and cover stuff, and you might be half asleep and
you're trying to track all this. You know, AI and
the and the information that is provided from those discussions

(49:32):
will will provide a lot of clarity and a lot
of better understanding about what's at stake here. It's also
critically important for medical research, especially for identifying new pharmaceuticals
and new clauses of diseases out there. And on the

(49:53):
legal front, it can also provide a number of benefits
as well, because it can help you both much more
systematically than a current Google search or the Google searches
of at least a couple of months ago, understand what
the legal issues are and help them better navigate those

(50:16):
complex situations. So they've got to have to spend two
hundred and fifty three hundred dollars an hour for some
basic stuff that an attorney is going to explain. So
the benefits here are major. You know, Americans have a
slew of healthcare concerns. It's very hard for any American,

(50:36):
or it's very hard for at least half of Americans,
to afford quality legal advice about you know, fairly common
situations that arise. So the benefits to people in terms
of real ways in which lives can really be improved

(50:57):
are very significant here. I mean, you know, as interesting
and fun as it is to use AI to you know,
perhaps concoct some photos or something. There's a very serious,
even life and death matters that that AI can help
and if nothing else, help put one's mind at ease.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Yeah, oh yeah, I mean without a doubt, there are
a plethora of common terminologies. There are several illnesses and
medications that have complicated names that are very similar but
do very very different things. So just that extra safety

(51:43):
level there could be potentially life saving. Let alone put
you in that better mindset, Paul, I want to thank
you again as somebody who in their youth just read
way too many science fiction books and still watches a
few too many movies and television series.

Speaker 8 (52:03):
With sci fi.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
I'm glad that we have people like you out here
helping the rest of us to better understand and better
cope because this, like a lot of new technologies, Like
we already said, it seems pretty scary until we get
comfortable with it, and I think that's going to happen
way faster with this than we've seen for a lot

(52:24):
of things. So I wanted to give you an opportunity
for any final thoughts of the evening, and then please
let everybody know where they can find your work. Feel
free to share any websites you would like and if
you are inviting people to follow you anywhere on social media,
you're more than welcome to share handles and platforms as well.

Speaker 14 (52:44):
Yeah, No, that's terrific. Tim. The closing thought I would
leave with folks, and we have talked about this easier again,
that AI is not just something for tech professionals, investors,
or the elite. It can benefit and should benefit everybody's

(53:06):
life out there, no matter what your profession, no matter
what your age, no matter what your living situation. And
this really, it really behooves us to be optimistic and
to look for ways to deploy this, whether it's economically
in a small business, whether somebody's sick, whether somebody's in

(53:26):
a difficult legal situation and you know, or whether somebody
is just looking to transition to a better job or
a better quality of life in the work that they have.
AI can be instrumental in all those regards, you know.
But it's going to require time and focus and work
and attention to it as using any new tool or

(53:51):
any new technology would. And just to recap, I'm with
the Lexington Institute Lexington Institute RG or a think tank
in Arlington, Virginia. You can follow us online at lex
Next DC, and people can follow me on Twitter at

(54:13):
my name p A U L S t e I
D L E R. And always always a pleasure to be.

Speaker 8 (54:21):
With you, Tim.

Speaker 5 (54:23):
It's a pleasure for me, sir. I always come away
from our conversations feeling a little bit smarter, and I
love having guests that helped me to do that. It's
not an easy thing to get this old hard headed
Tennessee and hillbilly up and thinking in new directions, so
I appreciate that.

Speaker 8 (54:42):
Thank you so much. As always I appreciate your work.
Keep up the great work, and God speed to you, Paul.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
Hopefully we'll get together again soon and continue the conversation.

Speaker 14 (54:54):
Thank you, Tim. Great to be with you again.

Speaker 8 (54:57):
All right, all right, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
Senior fellow with the Lexington Institute. I'll have links in
the show description to the Lexington Institute, and we'll also
put a link in the show description for the town
Hall opinion piece I mentioned earlier that Paul wrote before
Labor Day that went over a lot of the same
type of information, but in better detail.

Speaker 8 (55:20):
It's definitely worth the read.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Meanwhile, I do need to remind you that at the moment,
My Pillow is running a very special deal on their
per scale sheets right now. They are doing a close
out special.

Speaker 8 (55:38):
Now.

Speaker 5 (55:39):
You know, I'm very partial to Mike Lindell his story.
He's a true American success story, somebody who had to
fight off his own personal demons and managed to overcome addiction,
found faith, and then build a company that's not just
dedicated to getting you the best pillow ever, but the

(56:02):
best sleep accessories altogether. Because he wants you to be
well rested. He want you to get the best rest
you can because you're gonna be healthier, and you're gonna
be more clear headed. You're gonna be able to think
clearly when some leftist comes up and tries to confuse
you with their democratic nonsense.

Speaker 8 (56:19):
I just I'm a fan of what they do, and
I also like the fact that this particular audience seems
to like My Pillow a lot. We sell a lot
of pillows through here and right now.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
If you haven't taken advantage of this current deal, you
might want to hurry the Prisell.

Speaker 8 (56:38):
They per scale bedsheets are on.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
Special right now, any size, any color, twenty nine eighty eight.
You can get Queen Kings split Kings California Kings, any size,
any color, twenty nine eighty eight. But you do need
to hurry because once they're gone.

Speaker 8 (56:57):
They will be gone. This is they close out deal.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
These sheets are breathable, they have a cool, crisp feel,
They have deep pockets so they'll fit over any mattress,
and they look and they feel great, which means a
better Knight's to Leap. Now for me, that's crucial, and
since I know that I'm not the only person around
that has a busy schedule, I'm guessing it would probably

(57:22):
be pretty helpful for you guys too.

Speaker 8 (57:25):
And beyond that.

we will be joined. I'm hoping, I'm expecting, I believe
with Richard by Battle, So don't go anywhere.

Speaker 8 (59:01):
It should be a great conversation.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
You're listening to Tap into the Truth. Hey tuned.

Speaker 8 (59:38):
Tim will be right back after these important messages.

Speaker 5 (01:00:10):
This is Tim tap host of Tapping to the Truth
that you can hear every Friday night from seven to
nine pm Eastern on the k Star.

Speaker 8 (01:00:18):
Talk Radio Network, Liberty Talk FM, and the VARA Network.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
This is Tim tap host of Tap into the Truth.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
But I guess that doesn't shut in.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
I almost wish you one of love me too.

Speaker 5 (01:01:33):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back as we now
dive headlong into our number two of the Friday night
Live show here Tap into the Truth. And one of
the reasons I loved that particular song leading us into
hour or two because I do love you, guys, and
I do hope you love me too, you know, in

(01:01:53):
a Christian brotherly way. Anything else would be kind of
weird because we haven't actually met. All right, If you
happen to be listening to the podcast, I would love
to direct you to check out some of the links
in the show description. Right now, September is National Preparedness Month.

(01:02:16):
It's a great time to take stock of your family's
level of preparedness and ask the question, if a major
disaster struck tomorrow, would you be ready?

Speaker 13 (01:02:24):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
My Patriot Supply is making it easier than ever to
get prepared for a crisis. They just launched their Preparedness
Month Mega Kit, and I do mean Mega Kit. It
includes a year of emergency food, water filtration, solar power,
and more. Over ninety items totaling one thousand, five hundred

(01:02:47):
dollars are yours free with this kit this month only
though September National Preparedness Month. I would love to give
you the link for those that are listening live, but
it's one of those ridiculous affiliate links that I can
say it ten times and you probably still wouldn't be
able to get it. So just check out the podcast somewhere.

(01:03:10):
Don't even have to listen to the show again. Just
track us down, look in the show description, click the
link while we're at it. Also, remember energy rocks. It's
like pop rocks, but they give you superpowers. That's all
I'm going to say about that. And what we are
going to do right now is get back to the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back per our standing arrangement,

(01:03:33):
first Friday of the month. Native born Texan, Great American patriot.
He is a award winning, prolific author. He's a public speaker.
He's a political commentator. He is a business leader.

Speaker 8 (01:03:51):
He is a coach, he is.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
He's certainly a leader servant. So many different titles that
he has earned not by talking the talk, but by
walking the walk. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to
the show, mister Richard v. Battle Richard, as always, thank
you so much for joining us.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
How are you today, Good evening, Tom, We're doing great.
I appreciate that too generous introduction.

Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
Well, I'm not sure that it's too generous. I believe
you've earned every bit of it, sir, But with that
being said, always a pleasure to have you here. I
never get tired of our conversations, which is why I
love the fact that you're so generous with your time
and come hang out with us for a full hour
on Friday nights.

Speaker 8 (01:04:42):
Here.

Speaker 5 (01:04:42):
It's fantastic now our conversation earlier this week, when we
were looking at potential things to talk about, we knew
new things would pop up. I think they're pretty well
covered by most of the outlets, though, so I think
we're going to stick to the things that seem to

(01:05:03):
have had you in a bit of a sour mood.
Seemed to be a bit disappointed, not with crazy Democrat
stuff or the absolute lunacy of the left leaning corporate
legacy media, but actually where the GOP as a whole

(01:05:24):
seems to be standing and their obvious lack of effort
to move the Trump agenda forward.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
Well, that's absolutely true. I think it's interesting the opposition
party is protesting and delaying everything they can, and President
Trump is moving unlike any president we've seen in our lifetime.
It's excuse me, it's just incredible how many different fronts
he is aggressively pursuing policy, and yet here we are

(01:05:56):
holding both chambers of Congress and we cannot get those
people heartily to do anything. The House is passing some bills,
but everything is dying in the Senate because they keep
playing by these qts rules that they've had for so long,
when if the other party were in power and they

(01:06:17):
were stymied, they would be brushing aside a lot of
things and making things happen. And one of the biggest
indicators to me of that is the calendar for the
Republicans in August and the Senate is working fourteen days
out of thirty one, and with no budgets passed and
all these other things, the Trump nominees for courts, all

(01:06:40):
kinds of other nominees held up. I think they ought
to be working sixteen hours a day, seven days a
week until they clear the slick.

Speaker 8 (01:06:49):
Well, I'm certainly with you.

Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
We were complaining here on various episodes before the August break.
The partial recess even came up, this notion of calling
themselves into session ever so often so that it wouldn't

(01:07:11):
be a true recess. A lot of people kind of
felt like that was an intentional effort to prevent Trump
from making recess appointments, the argument being that, well, we
want to go have the fights and get these people
in position permanently and for real, but then there's apparently
no movement there. I think it's the appointees right now

(01:07:35):
that's probably the biggest issue, because it is one of
the things, especially the US attorneys, that's really holding up
the agenda at this point.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
Well, and I'd forgotten they took the whole month of
August off. Also, they should not have done that, and yes,
reconvening every couple of days so that he couldn't do
recess appointments. I call poppyco that because they he could
have done recess appointments and then they could have put
the people through the process and had the fights they

(01:08:07):
say they want. But they're still not having today. On
the nominees. So to me, it's a bunch of talk
and not much action.

Speaker 8 (01:08:15):
Yeah, well, that that seems to be where we're at.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
So I guess the question is, why are they legitimately
at this point afraid of Donald Trump did warn us
that they would be so much winning that eventually we'd
get tired of winning. Has the GOP as a party
gotten tired of the winning? Is that what's legitimately happened here?

(01:08:40):
Because it does seem like they're very oppositional. Even though
they want to pretend, like going into the mid terms
in particular, that they're all maga, they do seem to
be kind of oppositional to moving forward at this point
where the real bread and butter, meat and potatoes for
the betterment, for the restoration of the Republic part of

(01:09:03):
the Trump agenda is set to go into action.

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
Well, yes, and here's the thing. I believe that there's
so many of them who really don't want Donald Trump
to succeed too. Well, they believe they'll be in Congress
long after Donald Trump's turns over, and they don't want
to do things today that will upset the opposition or
the lobbyist or other people and inflict negative situations on

(01:09:32):
their future careers, whereas Trump is selling out this four
years to do everything he can, and there are a
few people that have jumped on that train to help him,
but not enough. And to me, if they don't get
it done this time, I don't think we'll get a
chance again like we're getting right now. And yes, they

(01:09:52):
may end up having a great career, but the country
will suffer for the foreseeable future. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:10:00):
Fortunately, I think it may be a bit of what
the Democrats have kind of taught them, and that's to
win elections. It's better to have issues to run on
than to solve problems that are quickly forgotten. It is
kind of the curse of our populace that once the

(01:10:20):
problem's solved, we do tend to move on to the
next one, and we don't keep in mind how it
was accomplished.

Speaker 8 (01:10:27):
Right now, a lot of.

Speaker 5 (01:10:29):
People, especially folks that typically have voted Democrat in the past,
they're standing back in awe of what Donald Trump's managing
to accomplish, even to the point that some prominent Democrats
are having to start giving credit where credits due, and
some of it's disingenuous because they're trying to make a

(01:10:51):
different point, but some of it is legitimate. We've got
the current mayor of DC now realizing that it can
be accomplished, that crime can be brought to near zero
with the proper application of police presence. It would be
great if the rest of the country would catch onto

(01:11:11):
that same notion instead of this defund business. But it
is a case where we have got to remain in
a perpetual state. You said it yourself. He's hit them
in so many different levels, in so many different ways,
they can't quite get their footing. And where we used
to kid about if Donald Trump came out and said

(01:11:34):
I'm for oxygen, that every Democrat would just start holding
their breath till they passed out. I'm beginning to think,
given how they're trying to defend crime, how they're trying
to defend terrorists, and how they're trying to open the
border back up, I really honestly think they probably would
do that.

Speaker 8 (01:11:53):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:11:53):
I would love for Donald to try I'm for oxygen
over the weekend, make a truth post it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
Well, yes, And so here's the thing. The Republicans or
the politicians say they want to keep an issue so
they can continue to discuss it year after year after year.
And we saw Bobby Kennedy yesterday saying, hey, I want
to solve these problems, while the politicians were up there
just trying to beat their chest and get the publicity

(01:12:24):
shots for their election campaign. And here's the simple fact,
just like every month when we talk, we've got more
topics to talk about, then we've got time to discuss them.
There's going to always be more issues for those people
in Washington to deal with than there is time and
resources to deal with them. So they ought to want

(01:12:46):
to solve some of them to get them out of
the way before the other ones appear, so that they
can run on those accomplishments. And the ones who just
keep beating the same issue over and over. I think
about cottage industries that have sprung up in the civil
rights movement, for example, and where people don't want that

(01:13:07):
issue to be solved because it takes away their ability
to make a living. But that's hey, that's life, and
we've got to get to where we solve problems first
for the people, because the Republican base is not going
to support people running for election in twenty six or
twenty eight if they're not firmly on the train that's

(01:13:27):
running right now.

Speaker 5 (01:13:29):
Yeah, I think you're right, and I think there's a
lot of folks that are in for quite a bit
of a surprise when it doesn't play out the way
they expect it to. It's just so obvious at this point.
There's a lot of people who continue to try to
make ay. They're worried about the image, and so they're

(01:13:51):
planning on having this long term political career. They're no
longer an average American showing up and representing their district.

Speaker 8 (01:14:02):
They are now part of the political.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
Class, and they want to be thought of as somebody
that's been in the fight for a while, and you
just can't be in the fight if you go fix it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
Well, yes, and some of that comes from the attitude
that they're rulers versus servants, and if they're servants, they'd
want to take care of the issue. If they're rulers,
then they can dictate what they do and how they
do it and for how long. And the people are
servants to them, and we need to remind them who's
the boss in this situation, and we expect results, not

(01:14:36):
just talking. And I think that's one of Thomas Soule's
great quotes was about bureaucrats focus on process versus accomplishments,
and we need people who are leaders, not organizers, or
bureaucrats that focus on accomplishments not the process.

Speaker 5 (01:14:55):
Well, I can't remember a time, Richard, where we've had
so many people holding office, whether it's at the state
level or at the federal level, and the House in particular,
but there's a lot of senators that are probably about
as bright as that box of rocks I have over.

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
Here beside me.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
It is astounding how these people get in a position,
but they completely missed the point of what you just
said a minute ago. And I think that's probably the
most important thing that we need to be reminding these folks,
other than the fact that they.

Speaker 8 (01:15:31):
Are supposed to work for us. That's absolutely true.

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
But you go solve this problem right now, there will
be another issue to go work on. There's going to
be no shortage of them. We've got plenty of things
to tackle, and as the future continues to march on
with new technologies and old rivalries and geopolitical struggles, there

(01:15:55):
is no shortage of issues that we have got to face.
Would be so much easier if we faced them together,
and it would be so much easier if we took
care of the problems that we could. And that is
just it seems to be forgotten. It seems to be
forgotten at this point. I don't think we just saw

(01:16:18):
this story. And I can't remember where. I think it
was NBC where they were talking about all these anonymous
judges that got together basically whinding that the Supreme Court
wasn't agreeing with them, didn't have their back.

Speaker 8 (01:16:35):
And I almost.

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
Think that it was completely made up, partially because they
claimed that an Obama appointed judge was a voice of
reason what's actually saying? And you guys need to stay
in your laying kind of thing. But I can see
this conversation. Actually, there's so much that the current government

(01:17:03):
has been allowed to go off the rails for so long, Richard,
I don't know that there's anybody left that remembers how
it's supposed to work.

Speaker 4 (01:17:12):
Well, I think that's true. I think it goes back
to at least Harry Truman, if not Calvin Coolidge, the
last time that people worked to accomplish things and get
things done. And to me, I go tell the story
that I read in David Brinkley's book Washington at War,

(01:17:32):
and he talked about how they implemented the withholding tax
during World War Two because people couldn't pay their whole
income tax all at one time. And before World War
Two there was just a small percentage of people paying
income tax, but to fund the war, the percentage pain
went up over forty nearly fifty percent of the people.

(01:17:54):
And after the war was over and they started cutting
defense spending, all of a sudden they had had all
this money coming in from the withholding tax, and the
politicians got together and they said, what do we do.
Do we give the money back to the people, And
one of them, I don't know which party he was in,
but I take a guess said, well, got Lee. Nobody's
yelling and screaming for their money, so I guess they

(01:18:16):
want us to spend it for him. And so from
that government spending went straight through the roof and has
continued ever since. And so we had a chance at
the end of World War II to rein it in
and it didn't happen. But I think with Trump, this
is probably the best and last chance we'll ever have
to do it again.

Speaker 5 (01:18:39):
It does get kind of frustrating when you stop and
think about it and you see people who know legislation
that they're about to offer up try to get into
committee or nowhere's near being constitutional, but they're going to
push it anyway, and.

Speaker 8 (01:18:58):
They've got a better than a fifty to fifty.

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
Chance of moving it forward if they can put the
right spin on it and make it popular enough. When
you have judges, regardless of what court they're setting in,
not only just not abiding by the laws and utilizing
the laws and the Constitution as their guideposts, but in
some cases actively violating the law to try to help

(01:19:26):
people escape federal custody. Just so much of this it
seems we're living in an Overwellian novel.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
Well. And the sad thing is, as you're aware, the
only court that specified in the constitutions of Supreme Court,
so all the other courts have been created by Congress,
and Congress could enact legislation to rein in the courts
right now, but Congress isn't functioning because the Democrats block everything,

(01:19:59):
So avenue to reign in those rogue courts. Rogue is
the nicest word I can say, is the Supreme Court
striking them down and telling them that they're acting outside
of their responsibilities. And so when the courts say that
Scotis doesn't have their back, well that's not Scotus's job

(01:20:21):
to have their back, because if they did have their back,
that would mean that each of them is acting as
president of the United States on that particular case. And
so again people have lost sight of what their responsibilities
and obligations and duties are and are trying to skew
the government the way they individually wanted to go.

Speaker 5 (01:20:46):
I guess if we were going to get Congress to
step up and start doing their jobs so much of
which they have advocated either to the judicial or to
the executive, at least until they don't like the executive,
how do we get there. We've got a GOP that,
as we started out talking about, doesn't appear to have

(01:21:09):
any real interest in really pushing at the moment, but traditionally,
at least in modern times, tends to act as if
they're not the party in power even when they are.
And then you have Democrats that are. So I was
about to go into some language I probably shouldn't, Richard,

(01:21:31):
So I'm going to bite my tongue. But a party
that does not seem interested in maintaining the founding principles.

Speaker 8 (01:21:39):
I'll put it like that. So what hope do we
have of seeing Congress step.

Speaker 5 (01:21:46):
Up, start doing their job again as the Constitution expects,
and also start doing the oversight appropriately, including with some
of these roague courts, even if it means may be
dissolving a few of them.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
Well, and yes, that would be a welcome sight. I
think right now is the time, because the candidates for
twenty six are going through that process right now of
deciding whether they want to run or not, and now's
the time for the people to stand up. And if
they know somebody who's contemplating running that they would like,

(01:22:25):
they need to support them. We need people that not
only have legal education, but I want people with real
world experience, somebody that's run something more than eliminate stand
We need people to understand our founding documents. We had
Senator Tim Kaine yesterday. I believe it was saying that

(01:22:46):
our rights are given by government, not by God, when
clearly in the Declaration it states four times that our
rights come from the Creator. And if the public is
not education enough to allow that to stand, rights given
by man can be taken away by man. Rights given

(01:23:09):
by God are eternal and man cannot take those away.
And we don't want a government that have rights extended,
if you will, because the next government will take those
away and give them to some other group, and there's
a whip saw effect of that. So the general principles
of life, liberty, in the pursuit of happiness, God given rights,

(01:23:32):
those are the paramount ones that the government should be supporting.

Speaker 5 (01:23:38):
Absolutely. I mean, if clearly laid out by a very
different Virginian that we constituted our government to protect the
God given rights, not the other way around. We've had
fair warnings for a long time about what direction a

(01:24:00):
centralized government would take. We've been having this battle well
before the Constitution was even the ink had dried. The
fight between the federalist and the anti federalist covered a
lot of this material. But now we see people that
are openly trying to tear the country down. This is

(01:24:23):
their preferred method. Richard, it is time for us to
take our mid hour break. So if you will stay
right where you're at, and all your great listeners out
there will stay where you're at, we'll pick up on
the other side of this.

Speaker 8 (01:24:37):
Break and we'll finish this conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
I'm Richard Battle, author and speaker and media commentator, and
you're listing a temp tap on tap in the true.

Speaker 10 (01:25:27):
I have something special to tell you.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
Hello.

Speaker 10 (01:25:30):
I'm or Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards
note Book, brought to you by Root Brand's premium products.
Jesus died in thirty three. The human spine is thirty
three vertebrae, the same structure that holds us upright in
the same number of years Jesus walked the earth. We
have twelve ribs on each side, just like the twelve
disciples in the twelve Tribes of Israel. The vegus nerve

(01:25:52):
runs from your brain to your heart and got calming
the storm inside your body, just like Jesus calmed the storm.
And what it looks like. The protein that literally holds
your cells together is in the shape of a cross.
Under a microscope, the very structure holding you together is
a cross. Jesus rolls on the third day. Science tells
us when you fast for three days, your body begins

(01:26:15):
to regenerate. All cells die, new ones are born, and
healing begins. Your body literally experiences a form of resurgence
in just three days, just like Jesus resurrected in three days.
That's not a coincidence. That's the signature of an artist
on his artwork. It keeps going. Your heart beats with
God's rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray, your

(01:26:38):
bones store memory, and your tears change chemistry depending on
joy or grief. You, my friends, work fearfully and wonderfully made.
I'm Ron Edwards.

man who exemplifies what it means to be a servant leader.

Speaker 8 (01:32:17):
He is both and he does it extremely well.

Speaker 5 (01:32:20):
And you see that in his writing, you see that
in his public speaking, and so much of what he does,
literally everything he does. He is a prime example of
what a patriot ought to be. Ladies and gentlemen, again,
we're talking to Richard B.

Speaker 8 (01:32:39):
Battle. Richard.

Speaker 5 (01:32:40):
Before we get back into anything this evening, I want
to go ahead and let you tell everybody where they
can find your work. Let them know where they can
find you on social medium, share any of the websites
that you'd like to share, and if you've got anything
special going on or any new announcements to make now
would be a great time do that as well well.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
I appreciate that tim Our website is Richardbattle dot com.
All twelve books are there, everything signed. If someone wants
an inscription for a gift, email me Richard at Richard
Battle dot com after in order. We're happy to do that.
We hope people will buy what we do and give
it to kids and grandkids and use it to spread

(01:33:24):
that patriarch message and faith based message as well. Everything's
on Amazon if you look up under Richard V. Battle,
including eleven of the twelve books are on kendall eight
of the twelve or on audio also, and we do
have a Constitution d a bundle with there's three books

(01:33:44):
in the Patriotic series of Americans who made America eighteenth
century nineteenth century, in the Maiden America Book. You buy
those three and you get a free copy of the
four letter word that builds character. So that's available on
the website also, Richard V. Battle and X.

Speaker 8 (01:34:03):
All right, thanks for that.

Speaker 5 (01:34:05):
I know every time you've been on even though we
let you do that and I put links in the
show description, I still inevitably have somebody reach out and
ask me how they can find you. It's like, how
did you know? Never mind here, just just go to
Richard b. Ball and it's it's it's just I find

(01:34:29):
it funny.

Speaker 8 (01:34:29):
Richard. I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:34:31):
Anyway, let's get back into the conversation. You know, we
talked about just some of the things.

Speaker 8 (01:34:38):
That they haven't been doing.

Speaker 5 (01:34:41):
I think some of the other important things that needs
to be done. We're not seeing the recision bills to
cut spending being moved forward. We're not seeing any attempts
to hold fellow congress people accountable.

Speaker 8 (01:35:00):
Look at it, all these things they're just not doing.

Speaker 5 (01:35:04):
What do you feel like is probably the most important
that we need to start calling and emailing these folks
to put them back on the right path. If we
were going to prioritize it, where should we start.

Speaker 4 (01:35:18):
Well, the recision bill was the next thing I wanted
to discuss about, because they passed a nine billion dollar
recision bill, slapped themselves on the back, and then they
took off and we haven't seen one. I think we
could see a nine billion dollar recision bill every week
if they were serious. And it just shows me that

(01:35:39):
both parties in Congress are in the same club. And
yeah s they'll argue a little bit, but they don't
want to inflict the mortal damage on each other because
they're afraid somebody will inflict mortal damage on them. And
when we see the Democrats fighting spending cuts, we see
the courts fighting spending cuts. Imagine that in your family.

(01:36:01):
If you're about to go broke in your family and
somebody in the family saying no, let's don't cut spending
or pain he did off. Let's just keep spending crazily
until we're thrown in jail. And that's about the point
we're at. From the standpoint, there is zero physical discipline
in Congress, and it is so sad there's almost no

(01:36:22):
difference in the Republicans and the Democrats.

Speaker 5 (01:36:25):
Yeah, well, you know, part of me wonders if this
isn't something that the voting public hasn't kind of ingrained
in the party, because once upon a time, although it
does seem like a rather long time ago now, the
Republicans didn't at least make the arguments for fiscal conservatism.

(01:36:46):
And it really feels like the Democrats did a really
good job of negative messaging to the point that most Conservatives,
or at least most Republicans, I'm not sure not convincedness
that they're conservative. They're just not even willing to mention
fiscal conservatism. It's almost become a blacklisted phrase. It's on

(01:37:12):
that list of things you shouldn't say if you want
to keep your job in DC.

Speaker 4 (01:37:19):
Exactly. And what happened. The last time we had a
full budget passed was nineteen ninety eight, twenty seven years ago,
and that was right about the time that Republicans forced
Bill Clinton to balance the budget. And so, if you
think about it, if you don't have a budget, then
there's no accountability for spending more than a budget if

(01:37:42):
there's no budget, and so then you just spend and
print money and spend and print money and spend. And
the Democrats figured this out pretty early, and they became
professionals at spending money. The Republicans, i'm afraid, have figured
out lately that hey, that's not such a bad deal.
We ought to get on this also, And so then

(01:38:02):
they end up at what I call all you can
take buffay, where not only are they spending money and
throwing it all over the place, but a lot of
it's finding their way and members pockets. As we see
stock trades, as we see their personal wealth grow at
these astronomical rates without any justification whatsoever. There's only one

(01:38:24):
way to do that, as Harry, as Truman said, showed
me a politician that gets rich in politics, and I'll
show you a crook.

Speaker 5 (01:38:32):
And that goes without saying. There's no way to be
a public servant and to become wealthy doing that job.
The salary is commensurate with the job, but the cost
of living in DC for half the year, which actually
I think we both would argue that that's not necessary either.

(01:38:55):
They could spend a much shorter amount of time in
session if they would actually just work, and then they
wouldn't have to worry about it.

Speaker 8 (01:39:02):
But yeah, it's astounding.

Speaker 5 (01:39:05):
Just this past week, money matters where it's released in
regards to what the current net worth or the estimate
for Ilhanno Maria is. And this is somebody that's constantly
talking about how terrible America is and how it needs
to be torn down and destroyed, and she's constantly working

(01:39:26):
to push the agenda for Somalia as opposed to the
United States. So yeah, there's definitely something will say suspicious
going on. If it's not illegal, it's certainly a moral
and probably should be illegal.

Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
Well exactly, and I mean Congress people are skating close
to being like used car salesmen as far as reputation go.
And I'm sick and tired of hearing them. Why about
only making one hundred and seventy four thousand a year,
and how they're sacrificing and everything. All they've got to
do is go back and read the sacrifice of the founders,

(01:40:06):
the Revolutionary war soldiers, the people all the way up
through at least World War two. As I said earlier,
I mean Harry Truman drove he and his wife home
after he left office. No secret service protection, no expenses
or anything. It was all on his own dime. So
many other presidents. Ulysses S. Grant was broke all the

(01:40:27):
time and had to finish his memoirs the last week
before he died so that he could get money to
pay off his debts for his family. So back in
those days, it was a true sacrifice for public service.
And today they want to whine and complain about their money. Well,
if it's not enough money, go home and make money,

(01:40:47):
but don't stay there and sell your integrity down the
road by taking money or doing stock trade or things
of that nature that are unethical.

Speaker 13 (01:40:59):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:41:00):
Part is, though Richard, at least a third, and I'm
probably being overly generous, I don't think they're equipped to
go back home and do anything, at least anything above
board that they could earn more money than where they're
at right now, even if they were just getting the salary,

(01:41:20):
nothing that therey is being added on.

Speaker 1 (01:41:24):
That's one of the.

Speaker 4 (01:41:25):
Sad things when we elect people with very thin resumes
who not only haven't accomplished anything, but haven't made any money,
and then they aren't prepared to do anything if they
leave Congress, which very few of them do, except use
that knowledge and go lobby their fellow congress people from

(01:41:46):
some company willing to pay them. We're all they have
to do is know how to open doors and slap backs.

Speaker 5 (01:41:53):
Yeah, well, that has almost become the culture now. To
begin with, So much of our interactions are online. Is
about networking, it's about social media, it's about influencing. It's
about things that do not require anything other than maybe

(01:42:13):
just a little bit of charisma and the ability to
lie quite frequently, which has always been advantageous in politics
to begin with. But it seems like now you just
you don't have to do anything else. Would it be
a solution if we were to actually take the salary away.

(01:42:38):
Do we need to look at completely banning lobbyists or
at least their ability to find ways to creatively get
money into the hands. How do we solve this problem?
How do we return this more to that public servant aspect?
Because the days of the gentleman farmer who leaves their

(01:42:59):
busines business in Tennessee to go serve a session or two,
and then they're in a hurry to get back to
the farm because they've got to get back to it,
those who have gone away. But is there not a
good way for us to at least recreate the conditions,
the economic motivations.

Speaker 4 (01:43:20):
Well, yes, and so it's the old adage about if
you want more of something, you subsidize it. If you
want less, you tax it. And obviously term limits would
be one thing, but that's never going to happen unless
we have a constitutional convention because Congress won't vote term
limits on themselves. You look at pay, you look at expenses,

(01:43:40):
you look at staff, you look at banning them from
lobbying forever. You look at making stock trades illegal. You
want to make it to where the job is a sacrifice,
and they always say, well, oh, nobody will want to
do it. Well, I disagree with that. People who have

(01:44:01):
a true heart for public service will want to be
like that gentleman farmer. They'll want to go in serve
their time like people do in the military, give their service,
and then go home and do something else. And that's
healthier for everybody involved if we could ever get back
to that. But it's going to take some political will

(01:44:23):
because it's going to be fought tooth and nail by
both sides.

Speaker 5 (01:44:28):
Yeah, like you said, I think the only way we
get there is a constitutional convention, probably a convention of states.

Speaker 8 (01:44:40):
It is hurting five. Yeah, it's just.

Speaker 5 (01:44:46):
It seems so far batch that we could have fallen
so far away from the original vision of the founders,
and the fact that we have any semblance of liberty
left at this point. It still is a testament to
the wisdom and the safeguards and the bumpers that they

(01:45:08):
put in place. They're still being filed down, they're still
being worn down, and we're getting to a very pivotal time,
which is part of what makes this time. Having Donald
Trump and the White House in particular, so very very
important because we're at that point where we're so close
to teetering beyond the point of return. We need strong

(01:45:34):
leadership that's going to do that go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:45:36):
Yes, Yes, And I'm grateful for President Trump. And I
know I've been saying a lot of negative things, and
I'm an optimistic person. I wouldn't be doing the things
I do now if I wasn't optimistic as far as
trying to help and influence people to restore the Republic
as it is. And I think you're doing the same thing.
There's a lot of us fighting on fronts all across

(01:45:59):
the country, and I think we have a great opportunity
right now and we've got to make the most of
it while we can, so we can gain that ground
back before an election loss happens. So we'll be better
off than we were before January of this year. And
so I am very optimistic. And I think President Trump

(01:46:20):
has got a strategy, He's got the tactics lined up.
I think he's got an incredible team he put together,
which other presidents when they got people from their opposing party,
they were celebrated. But when President Trump got Kennedy as well,
as d and I he's been vilified for that, and

(01:46:47):
so I think the team he's got they're going to
be doing some incredible things these next three years, and
we need to support that effort and help them as
much as possible.

Speaker 5 (01:46:59):
What right now, looking at the situation, do you think
would be the biggest threat to success for the Trump
administration as they move forward, looking to the midterms, looking
hopefully passing the baton to another MAGA type president.

Speaker 8 (01:47:22):
Is it geopolitical? Is it economic?

Speaker 1 (01:47:26):
Here?

Speaker 5 (01:47:27):
Is it the potential of a new pandemic? What do
you see over the horizon? Because I'm asking you to
put your futurist hat on, but I think you know
enough of the past to be able to at least
anticipate the future to a degree.

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
Well, the first thing is, I'll tell you what it
won't be. And the opposition believes that when Donald Trump
leaves that MAGA will be over, And to me, that
is a poor assumption because there are several candidates I
think that are ready to pick up the mantle from him.
I don't know if there's anybody as successful and energetic

(01:48:07):
as he is. Because of his life experiences and everything,
He's going to be hard to replicate, but we're going
to have a lot of people who will still be there,
and so we have to fight for those people that
can help us get those principles back in the ethics

(01:48:28):
so that we can see a difference in the Democrats
and the Republicans besides which side of the aisle they
sit on. And I'm encouraged about that, and I think
we've got a chance to have a run here if
we can accomplish enough that pleases the base and keeps
them involved.

Speaker 5 (01:48:46):
Right, Yeah, and you're right, the bench is deep. The
Democrats like to pretend like Thursdays, it's not. But when
we look at JD. Vance, when we look at Marco Rubio,
Marco Rubio has transformed himself from this almost meek vision

(01:49:10):
of a guy who was just happy to hold office
at once upon a time, at least that was always
the impression and the image I got from, to being
a very strong, forceful America first leader. It's shocking. It's
almost a night and day difference to me. And when
you see those kinds of changes, my only concern is

(01:49:32):
the fact that we know we're dealing with folks. When
we look at the current National Democratic Party that are
more concerned about power than preserving the nation. They're more
concerned about winning an election than they are about serving
the people they're supposed to when they win that election.
And they're not above dirty tricks, so they're not above.

Speaker 8 (01:49:54):
Just flat out line when they know their line. I mean,
Harry Reid even.

Speaker 5 (01:49:58):
Admitted as much fact when he was questioned about the
lies he told about Mitt Romney, and his smug response
was it worked, didn't it?

Speaker 7 (01:50:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
Well, And so I'll give you two different comments. One
from a leadership standpoint. When we see President Trump holding
monthly cabinet meetings, not only has that showed leadership, but
he's training those future leaders that are sitting there on
how to lead. And it was totally the opposite that

(01:50:31):
we saw President Biden and running an organization and he
brings the media in and when those cabinet secretaries sit
there and it's their turn to talk about their portfolio.
And I had this happen in a leadership position in
an organization before, and I learned this lesson. You wanted
to have the cabinet secretary's report on what they had done.

(01:50:55):
The worst thing they could say is they didn't have
anything to report. Their egos are played to, but they
get a chance to talk about what they're doing, and
there's peer pressure for them to do more so that
they don't look bad in front of their peers. It's
a masterful leadership tool at Donald Trump's using and it
will pay dividends for generations to come. And again, it's

(01:51:19):
totally different than the leadership we saw in the last administration.
But we haven't talked about a key piece, and that's
the media. And so I'll give you an example. Last week,
when Kamala Harris had her security details stripped, the people
who only watch left leaning media thought the president was

(01:51:41):
taking advantage of her and taking away something that every
other vice president had because they did not report that
she had gotten this extra security from Joe Biden. Only
people who got conservative media heard that. And I had
friends that didn't understand why Kamala Harris was being abused

(01:52:03):
until I explained that, and once I did, they went, oh,
now that makes more sense. And that's one of our
big issues. We've got half the public who only listens
to those liberal type outlets, who who do give propaganda
and who do not tell the full story.

Speaker 5 (01:52:22):
Right, Well, you know you talked about what we saw
from the Biden administration, and I'm trying to remember, Richard,
I'm not sure I ever saw Joe Biden ever other
than a couple of speeches and then wandering around.

Speaker 8 (01:52:42):
There was no leadership.

Speaker 4 (01:52:44):
Well, he had a cabinet meeting last year and he
just gave a brief introduction and turned it over to
Jill Biden to run the meeting, and then they ushered
to press out, so you didn't really know what they had.
But to me, I think Trump is brilliant by having
the press there because again, that puts additional opportunity, education,

(01:53:07):
it puts pressure on the cabinet secretary is.

Speaker 8 (01:53:10):
To do more.

Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
So to me, he's doing it the right way that
pays long term dividends.

Speaker 5 (01:53:18):
Yeah, obviously, you're right. I'm just trying to exaggerate a bit,
given how.

Speaker 8 (01:53:24):
Little we saw Joe Biden doing anything.

Speaker 5 (01:53:28):
Two quick questions now, Number one, Well, one's a quick comment,
also meant to be a little humorous, and then just
a quick question before we wrap up because we're quickly
running out of time. That other remarks, I think also
that Donald Trump likes doing the cabinet meetings that way
because it's a little bit like a flashback to his
days on The Apprentice, But beyond that, absolutely, I do

(01:53:53):
want to get your take real quick on the executive
order that was sent out. Evidently it's official Department of
Defense is officially the Department of War.

Speaker 8 (01:54:05):
Again, what's your thoughts on this, because of course.

Speaker 5 (01:54:08):
The left are losing their minds about it, But I
kind of think it's a good reminder, psychologically speaking, that
that is the point of this department to be able
to win wars, to defend the American public to know
that our men and women are in harms way when
they perform these jobs, and that regular citizens are in

(01:54:29):
harms way when we aren't prepared to respond to geopolitical threats.

Speaker 8 (01:54:34):
But that's just me wondering what your thoughts were.

Speaker 4 (01:54:39):
Well, I think it's interesting it was that way until
nineteen forty seven after World War II, and as part
of the development of the United Nations and things like that,
they had all this feel good stuff, and I think
going to defense was that way. But as an American
citizen up until January of this year, the last four year,

(01:55:00):
I was concerned traveling overseas because people overseas could commit
crimes against Americans, and there was no threat of the
government holding them account for it, unlike when President Reagan
was there. Well, now with President Trump, if we're an
American and we're traveling overseas and somebody abuses us, we

(01:55:23):
have our back covered by him and the country. And
I think this is an additional part of that message
saying that we're strong, We're going to defend ourselves, and
we will do the things that can help protect our
country and make our country great again.

Speaker 5 (01:55:43):
All right, Richard, Well, I want to thank you again
for coming on. It's always both a pleasure and an
honor to get to talk with you, and it never
ceases to amaze me your generosity with your time coming
and hanging out with us like that. Speed to you, sir,
keep up all the great work, and I look forward
to our next get together.

Speaker 4 (01:56:05):
Always my pleasure. God bless America.

Speaker 8 (01:56:08):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is Richard V. Battle.
If you're not reading his.

Speaker 5 (01:56:14):
Books, if you don't have his books in your library,
you are missing out in the Meanwhile, that's going to
have to be it for now. I hope everybody has
a great weekend, and remember, don't take my word for
anything you've heard tonight, not a bit of it. But
please don't take their word for it either, be prepared
to put in some effort, do your own research, and

(01:56:36):
most importantly, use your brain.

Speaker 8 (01:56:40):
If you really want to tap into the truth. Have
a great weekend, everybody with the DV.

Speaker 13 (01:56:47):
That's all, folks, You're being gone.

Speaker 1 (01:57:14):
Was a world of fun when you were just a
little squirt. You learn the holes of defensive tool so
that no one would get hurt.

Speaker 6 (01:57:29):
You learn to breathe, and you learn to squeeze till
your ables always true.

Speaker 1 (01:57:35):
You make the right of passage man with your first
real twenty two. Now the New World orders prove well
there may you learned the mass. They don't feel safe
and you are wronged your sake, County shows using both halves.

(01:58:03):
Father's knew the second Amendment was the final one.

Speaker 13 (01:58:07):
To keep.

Speaker 1 (01:58:09):
So other like Si time so never because she.

Speaker 4 (01:58:18):
She staring h the following me in Paul Pott.

Speaker 1 (01:58:22):
They told us things that you never forgot. See lessons
in your daughters, sus to hear the government the fears
of guns. Now the New World na true. Well they're
making landing mass and don't feel safe and you are wrong.

(01:58:43):
You say gun control.

Speaker 4 (01:58:45):
He's using both hands.

Speaker 1 (01:58:53):
So I prefer the free. Don't wait to the time
in two to three more than a thousand knaws to
take that thousand.

Speaker 14 (01:59:21):
And now the New World are not through.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
Well, they're making man hands. They can pass a hundred boss,
but we still won't give it down. All of these
things over to if they try to take this malad
the apple chance with you.

Speaker 4 (01:59:41):
