Dr. Carole Lieberman was scheduled to join me to discuss her psychoanalysis of Tyler Robinson and explore why he murdered Charlie Kirk. However, breaking news just before airtime changed our conversation to focus on Hamas.
I spent some time discussing my frustration with the ongoing lawlessness in American cities.
Richard V. Battle, award-winning and best-selling author, media commentator, motivational speaker, and trainer on leadership, sales, and faith, joins me to discuss the federal government shutdown and the historical parallels with the historical events that led to Rutherford B.

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 you may be doing. With all the usual
caveats of course, with you as always I am you're
ever so humble and mostly peaceful host coming to you
live from historic Rome County, Tennessee. I'm so very glad
to have you along for the ride. Thank you so

(03:06):
much for being here. Whether you're listening anywhere around the
world thanks to great digital platforms like the k Star
Talk Radio Network, Liberty Talk FM, the VERA Network, or
if you might just be driving around Columbia, South Carolina
and have tuned into wc ET FM, whatever the case

(03:29):
may be, thank you for being here live. And if
you're just listening to the podcast after the fact, well,
thank you so much for carving out a piece of
your very valuable time to spend it with us that
way as well. I certainly appreciate it all the way around.
Should be an interesting show tonight, as we are scheduled
to be joined here in just a few moments by

(03:50):
doctor Carol Lieberman. We're going to be talking about some
of the strange situations ongoing and whether or not psychologue
to coal explanations might be in well, it might be
the actual explanation, of course, fingers crossed done that one

(04:11):
is it's Friday night and who knows what will happen.
Am reasonably certain though, that, as per the usual arrangement,
will be joined by Richard V. Battle for the second hour,
we should be good to go. We've got confirmations across
the board there, but we'll see what happens and guess

(04:31):
what if for some reason we don't hook up. It's
not as if there isn't plenty of things going on
we're talking about and it's been kind of a crazy
week for me. So anyway, before we get into all
of that, do you want to take a moment to remind
all you snack warriors out there that given your busy

(04:55):
driven lifestyle where you're pushing limits, well you need fuel
that's going to keep pace with you and help you
to keep pace with those goals that you said. And
that's where one way Jerky comes in. We're not talking
about some mystery meat out there. It's one hundred percent
real beef brisket, slow smoked in the USA, tender, flavorful,

(05:17):
I packed with protein to keep you going. You've got
great flavor options like their original they're sweet KARAOKEI, they're
sweet and spicy mango, and they're spicy barbecue as well
as hot brisket with flavor profiles that literally range from
savory sweet to painfully bold and uh yeah, I know

(05:39):
I say this every time I talk about it, but
I'll be avoiding the painfully bold side of the flavor
range right now. If you're placing your first order with them,
it ships for free, and you can score ten percent
discount by using the code tender Tender Tender. That's real brisket,

(06:02):
zero compromise, delivered to you and right at your door.
So if you're craving that meld in your mouth, high
protein snack, all you gotta do is go to tap
into food dot com. That's tapp into food dot com
and check out One Way Jerky for yourself right now?

(06:26):
Uh four times? All right, Well, it looks like we
may not have doctor Carroll after all.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
And if that's the case, then so be it.

Speaker 7 (06:38):
Kind of standing by it because I've been trying to
get her scheduled now for almost three weeks, and one
thing after another has come up, and that's just the
way things go. Oh right, it looks like we are
actually being joined now by the host of the Doctor

(07:03):
Carroll's Couch on Voice America dot com and of course
the Terrorist Therapist podcast, author, forensic psychiatrist, and great repeating
guest here, doctor Carol Lieberman. Doctor Lieberman first and foremost
Thank you so much for joining us tonight.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
How are you today?

Speaker 8 (07:26):
It's my pleasure. I am pretty good, you know, considering
all the craziness around us and considering I mean, I
just I just heard or saw that that Hamas has
supposedly agreed to the proposal.

Speaker 7 (07:46):
Wow, that's interesting. I guess at a certain point it
becomes obvious that if you want to survive, you have
to swallow a pill. Although I think we're both thinking
along the same terms when we hear news like that,
it sounds more like a stall tactic than anything that

(08:07):
can be trusted when it comes to Hamas. But uh, yeah,
well I will, at face value, it sounds like good news.
At the very least, it means hopefully we'll get the
remaining hostages released, and that would be good news.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
Yes, but oh it's actually Hamas agrees to release God's hostages.
But such conditions? This is this is just happening. I mean,
here's the deal. Whatever the specific details are, you can't
trust Tomas. Hamas are terrorists, okay, and terrorists believes the Qur'an,

(08:49):
which says that Allah wants them their Their most noble
deed would be to destroy Israel and kill all the
Jews and then kill all the infidels, which people well,
you know, all the people who are like the Free
Palestine people or the anti Semitic people, you know, they
they think they're all uh uh rioting or protesting, really rioting,

(09:12):
but they'd like to call it protesting, and they think
that that's finding dandy, and they don't realize that they
themselves are at risk that that first Israel and then
the West. And actually, I mean it's already in Europe,
already taking over Europe. So so I don't know, you know,
I'll be interested to find out more about the details

(09:33):
of it, but like the bottom line were regardless of
the specifics, is that, yes, I think it is a
stalling tack, especially when we're approaching October seventh, the anniversary.
I mean, I think this is some kind of uh
trojan horse.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. Uh yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:56):
They were the the entire profile here. When it comes
to the more extremist versions of the Islamic practice, I
personally I take a lot of heat from it, but
I have a hard time even calling it a religion.
It's more like a sociological philosophy that involves an awful

(10:20):
lot of death if you're not part of the club.
That to me doesn't feel very religious. E Maybe I'm
being intolerant, but whenever, it's okay to lie to anybody
who's not of your ilk, meaning not only is Islamic,

(10:40):
but the right kind of Muslim. It's okay to treat
them any way you choose, that they are less than human.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's just such.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
A horrific ideology in my mind. It seems very difficult,
especially giving the practice takiya known to be practiced by
the extremists. I don't know how anybody can take the
proven extremist at their word. It's a dangerous proposition. And

(11:14):
I know there's only one way to move forward, and
that's to try to deal with these people. But I'm
afraid there is only one way that actually is effective
when it comes to extremist terrorist, regardless of their founding principle,
but probably more so with this particular type of extremist.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
Well, Mohammad said war is the seat, so he gives
them permission to line. So, I mean, you know, of
course a part of me is holding out. Well, you know,
perhaps perhaps at least for now, they've had enough I mean,
so much has been destroyed by IDs perhaps, you know,

(11:57):
I mean, but it is only it is only delaying
the next terror attack. But and I hope, I hope
the tear the hostages see. You know, it would be
good if the hostages. I don't know if they're going
to bring back all the hostages. Of course, some of
them look half of them almost they're dead already. But
but Israel wants the bodies. The families want want the

(12:19):
bodies to be able to bury them. So that would
be great if the hostages come back. But and that
would at least free up net Yahoo to make other decisions.
You know, there's been so much pressure on him by
the Israeli families who have hostages whose you know, families

(12:41):
are are hostages, and so it kind of has has
limited him to some degree about in these negotiations, because
the hostages, of course is the number one thing, you know,
But who's to say they can't I don't know. I mean,
I mean, I guess at this point they can't come

(13:02):
into Israel in certain places. But I mean, and I
and they saw what happened to Iran when America flew
the plane, you know, it took out some helped Israel
to take out some nuclear nuclear weapons and all that.
So there is more of a there is more power,
you know, because of Trump agreeing with Netanyahu in what

(13:26):
to do. So I don't know, you know, perhaps that
will be enough. It's just enough for how long? And
you know in England in Manchester where there was that attack,
remember some years ago there was an attack at a concert.

(13:46):
Do you remember Ariana Grande her her her concert was
attacked by a terrorist and a suicide vest. And so
there was just recently on the Jewish high holiday of
Yong Kapur.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (14:01):
There was just just yesterday yesterday. I mean I was
in synagogue, so I the days are all mixed up
in my mind. But anyhow, on young people. They there
was a terrorist who attacked a synagogue in Manchester and
he attacked them with uh ny as well. First he
rammed his truck or car into the synagogue and then

(14:23):
he started attacking people with knives and and so, and
of course that was that's incredibly horrendous. But what's even
more horrendous is that in in England or all over
the UK, there are riots today. There have been riots
pro Palestinian riots and they because they have taken the

(14:46):
side of the terrorists.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
Yes, yeah, that was actually what I was about to
bring up next Doctor uh Labor movie, because you know,
we we talk about hopefully what's going to be at
least some minor positive for Israel. But the entire West
is under assault, and it really has come from a
point of turning a blind eye by people who are

(15:11):
supposed to be responsible for the security of nations. All
of Western civilization has allowed so many dangerous people without
vetting them in that we have attacks like that on
the regular and we see these permission structures that have

(15:32):
been put in place even here in the United States,
various things happening. It's making news in Dearborn, Michigan when
the mayor is attacking a local resident for standing up
and commenting that maybe a member of Hezballah is not
a good person to have a street named after. We

(15:55):
see this going on, and it also plays back to
the same type of sanity that has allowed people like
Charlie Kirk to be attacked and Justice Justice Kavanaugh to
be attacked, as we see these other forms of mental
illness also being treated as if it's completely legitimate and

(16:20):
playing into these various scenarios. So I guess at this
point we have to have a discussion about the elephant
in the room that nobody seems to want to talk about.
But the left has created this fellow traveler, teared down
the very structures of Western civilization at any cost, without

(16:44):
much concern about what that cost would be.

Speaker 8 (16:47):
Yes, well, the left and the terrorists have formed a
red Green alliance, the red being the Marxist communist socialist
left and the green being the terrorists, and they have
aligned with each other because they both want to destroy America.
And even though they don't agree on everything. I mean,

(17:09):
terrorrists certainly don't agree with the LGBTQ plus platform, but
they are so they're like strange bedfellows, but they are.
They have sort of tacitly agreed to pretend that these
differences don't exist so that they can go forward with
destroying America.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah, and not just America, though, I mean, we're concerned
primarily there because this is where we are, but we
see other Western nations that are further down this road
that are I mean, you literally have France on the
verge of civil war at this point, and you know,
when you see French talking about war, especially amongst themselves.

(17:53):
You know, a major event has occurred, so much of
their country has been turned over to these conclaves. We
now see major claims here in the US. But despite
that particular threat, the real threat has become the fact
that we've been led to believe, we've been bullied, We've
been pushed into this notion that somehow, if we notice

(18:14):
that there is a problem, then we're the bad ones.
If we call out the issue, we're intolerant.

Speaker 8 (18:22):
I'm sorry, go ahead now as I say, where is
lamophobac If we point this out.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
Yet that aura it was? Yeah, that or any other
type of intolerance, because oh, you can't attack the LGBTQ
plus whatever it's been added on to that grouping. If
we talk about these cocktails that transgender individuals have been
put on in their effort for medical interventions, how is

(18:51):
that affecting them? Not just the physical changes that it's causing,
but in their brain chemistry is being all too People
are being put into situations where they're being given green
lights to move forward. Antifa's good, calling out Antifa's bad.

(19:11):
All of these things that are just designed for one
simple purpose, and that is to keep the law abiding,
everyday citizen in all of these Western nations, not just
the US, keep us at bay while they topple the
whole system.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
Yes, Europe is practically is essentially gone. I mean unless
they start changing things. It started with Germany letting.

Speaker 9 (19:41):
In a million.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
Let's see a million start letting in in twenty fifteen.
They let in a huge number of radical Islamist migrants.
And they did it because they said they were doing
it because because the population was getting older, and they
said that they needed more people to work, you know,

(20:04):
certain jobs to keep the economy going. And then France
and Belgium, and of England, UK and Ireland and Sweden.
I mean, a little by little, all these different countries
started doing the same thing. And now I mean it
used to be that France was in the worst shape,

(20:26):
the most danger. I mean, there are terror attacks in
all these countries happening every day. We just don't hear
about it in our mainstream media. I mean, they're not
the kind of attacks that happened just well, well, no
that's not true. They are. Like in France, there are
churches being destroyed all the time, and so all these
things are happening. We're not hearing about it in our

(20:46):
mainstream media, and so people in America are just, you know,
innocently or naively complacently just go along thinking like, well,
that's just you know, too bad for Israel and this
is not about Israel.

Speaker 7 (21:01):
Yeah, yeah, I do think that's the most insane thing
because we're we hear these people claim, oh, oh, we're
pro Palestinian. It's like, no, you're pro Hamas because the
average Palestinian who especially if you find one that's not
particularly supportive of Amas, which, unfortunately, despite the best defference

(21:24):
of our legacy media, doesn't constitute a particularly high percentage
of them. But if you were to find them, they
have no bigger enemy right now than Hamas. So if
you're doing this the very notion, they keep using terminology
like genocide, which you know, I'm sorry, there is no definition.

(21:44):
There's no way to stretch the word to make that
definition fit.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
And just I get so.

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Riled up when when people I hear people say stuff
like this. I even hear comments about.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Masad did this.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
No, shut up, You're you're just being stupid.

Speaker 8 (22:07):
Something related to that. Funny today, Well it's not funny,
but I mean, I'm glad she got exposed. But uh,
what's her name? The uh uh, god just went out
of my head? Who is who is the little girl? Who?

Speaker 10 (22:25):
Who?

Speaker 8 (22:28):
I'm sorry again.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Greta Stuberg, Yes, good old Greta.

Speaker 8 (22:34):
That's right, Greta Sundberg. They they Israel got on the
flotilla again like they had done the last time. And
it's supposed to be an aid flotilla to go to Gaza.
Well it turns out that there was no aid. There
was very little in terms of food or any other
kind of helping supplies. It was just you know, she
knows this all the time, just to get attention.

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's really all this was. It's a stupid
pr stunt, and she allows herself to be used just
so she can be famous for fifteen minutes at a time.
It was absurd when she was a child, but now
that she's an adult, we're a little more free to
call her out on it. Everything from where they were

(23:21):
claiming that the IDF was firing at them, and then
we see the whole video and due just shot a
flare and didn't know how to and almost set the
boat on fire and all.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
This other ridiculous stuff.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
Yeah, that's but I think what's more important, especially here
back in the States, is when we see anti Semitism
being played out by Congress people. Ilhann Omar in particular
has really been out doing herself recently with some of
the things she's staying and doing.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
And again, if.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
We don't start taking the threat seriously of allowing people
who have no lawyer to America or American idealism, or
even Western civilization or Western culture to if we if
we keep allowing them to have positions of authority and
let them continue to expand their influence, we can't expect

(24:15):
to hang on to what makes Western civilization worthwhile.

Speaker 8 (24:22):
Yes, no, this is I mean, and and the thing
is at some point and it might be happening now,
I know, you know, like in in the UK, the
leaders are are really you know, they they are. They
are as bad as the protesters are worse, really, and
they're just encouraging all of this, you know. And even

(24:43):
like like the mayor of London, who is a Pakistani
who's been really destroying London, and that something like that
took about the Mayor of London. If Mom Danni gets
to be gets elected to be the mayor of New York.
That is going to be uh, that is going to
be a disaster for many reasons, but particularly because he's

(25:06):
basically a terrorist.

Speaker 7 (25:08):
Yeah yeah, I mean he has come out partially saying
that he doesn't even think of himself as an American first,
and of course he's kind of walk that back for
election purposes, but he makes it clear every time he
opens his mouth that he really doesn't feel that way.
And again, yeah, the people in those districts, they kind

(25:32):
of end up getting what they deserve if that's what
they allow to be moved.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Into those positions.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
But the downside for everybody else is that we're all
on the hook when something like that happens in some
of these bigger cities. We constantly see the damage that
it's done. And if we can't, if we can't put
an end to it, it's only going to continue to snowball,

(25:58):
which has always been the plan when it comes to
Islamic colonization of nations anyway. It's always started, Hey, we're
a minority, you need to give us equal rights. Okay,
now we're on par with you. We demand more power.
Now we're the majority.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I hope you like Sharia. That's no way, it works.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Every ye, yes, doctor Lieberman. I'm so sorry we're already
coming up close against the end of the segment and
there was just so much stuff to talk about. I
feel like we barely even got started. But please, I
wanted to give you an opportunity to let everybody know
where they can find your work, and if you're still

(26:43):
inviting people to follow you anywhere on social media, feel
free to share handy and platforms as well.

Speaker 8 (26:50):
Yes. Well, first of all, I have several websites, but
the most important one, particularly in regard to what we've
been talking about and in regard to October seventh, is
my website terrorist therapist dot com. Terrorist therapist dot com.
I have music videos on there for the anniversaries of
nine to eleven and from last year, the anniversary of

(27:14):
ten seven, and else and I have lets of others.
There are lots of other things also, my book Lions
and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My, How to Protect Your
Child in a Time of Terror. You know, I won
different awards, like in the Paris Book Festival and the
London Book Festival, and when I went to get you know,
received the award in London, I went to Manchester, and

(27:36):
I donated books well, also in London and also in Paris,
I donated books to the libraries to that book Lions
and Tigers and Terrorists. And then of course on Twitter
it's at doctor Carol MD. So at doctor Dr Carol C. A.

Speaker 10 (27:52):
R O.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
L E.

Speaker 8 (27:53):
And then m D.

Speaker 7 (27:56):
All right, doctor Leverman, again, thank you so much for
being so generous with your time and joining us tonight.
It's always a pleasure to get to speak with you,
and God's speech to you as you continue to do
what is becoming increasingly harder and harder work, as the
tide of anti Semitism continues to to become a bit

(28:18):
of a title wave in recent years, and I'm ashamed
to see it here as strong as ever in the US.
But together, of course, like minded folks who understand that
we have more in common than different, we will write
out this way, but the same as we have in
the past.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
In the meanwhile, God speed to you and stay safe
as you keep up the good work.

Speaker 8 (28:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
All right, ladies and gentlemen. That of course, doctor Carol
Lieberman m D. You know, when breaking news comes along
like that, I had not seen that Moss had accepted
or had at least claimed to have accepted the deal
as it's been laid out. All the word going in

(29:09):
for the last couple of days is that they were
planning on rejecting it, So you know, that kind of
changed up the conversation topic. But there is nothing untrue
about what's being said, and I will stand by the
notion that somehow this dispeels like a stall tactic for
the remaining leadership because they've got to find a way

(29:30):
to live long enough to strike again, and that's their
only way.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Guys, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back on the
other side of this very brief break.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
Hi. I'm doctor Carol Lieberman, a Beverly Hill forensic psychiatrist,
and you're listening to Tim Tap and Tap into the troops.

Speaker 11 (30:04):
Because of the grossly inadequate government school system practice of
not teaching complete and authentic American history, one would think
that black Americans contributed very little to our American society. Hello,
I'm Rod Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards Notebook.
If your refrigerator contains any produce from your local grocery market,

(30:26):
then you can rightfully credit black United States inventor Frederick
McKinley Jones. Mister Jones took out more than sixty patents
throughout his life of achievement. Amongst them was a nineteen
thirties pattern but the roof mounted cooling system, commonly used
to refrigerate food products on extended transportation routes. Frederick McKinley
Jones officially received his roof mounted cooling system patent for

(30:49):
his invention in nineteen forty. He also co founded the
US thermal control company that later became famously known as
Thermo King. The company was critical during World War Two,
helping to preserve donated blood and food supplies for our
American war heroes during the massive war between liberty and tyranny.

The stocks 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 the stock market that they've.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Never done before.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
It's a robo advisor system that really simplifies the investment process.
The challenge we all have is that as you work
and grow in your career, you have to put something
aside for yourself when you retired around sixty five years old.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
And the idea of.

Speaker 10 (31:53):
Being stocks is to simplify that whole process. In other words,
put aside ten percent on your salary each week, maybe
just one hundred dollars and let it go to work
in the stock market for you. And what beanstock does
is basically automate that process for you, easy to set up.
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

(32:17):
that you can have this done for you weekly or
bi monthly. But the most important thing is to start
now and make it so that you are putting something
aside for your own retirement. Bean Stocks just makes it
really simple to do.

Introducing Eindsteck Drink Conquer repeat It. Einstock Beer is a
globally distributed, award winning Icelandic craft beer.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Einstock is created.

Speaker 12 (32:57):

fields and delivers some of the purest water under knowing
that beer is ninety five percent water. We source the
first and most vital ingredient from the local springs of
a mountain that stands guard over the town of Vaccuari,

(33:17):
just sixty miles south of the Arctic Circle. Einstock Beer
is crafted with locally sourced ingredients and the brewery runs
from one hundred percent renewable energy sources geothermal and hydropower.
Einstock has become the number one craft beer and also

Speaker 2 (35:24):
And I will be ruled by the damn you went.
You're flying high with Tim Chown Cavin into the truth.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
Ahrighty, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so very much for
staying with us through that very brief break. I hope
you enjoyed our conversation with doctor Carol Lieberman. In the meanwhile,
I wanted to get some stuff off my chain. So
here's my chance I've had a very crazy week this week.
That's prevented me from literally doing any of the other

(36:09):
shows that I'm normally doing through the week, and I
could spend some time going into it, but at the
end of the day, none of that really matters. This
is as much therapy for me as it is trying
to make sure that you guys know, at the very
least that you're not crazy. You're not the only one
who feels this way about stuff. And at least occasionally

(36:33):
I might even bring you a story that if you're
not hearing it anywhere else, maybe at the very least
you hear it here first. As it turned out the
story where we were talking about Maryland's freaking childcare issues.

(36:54):
When we were talking about that, it would appear that
I was a week ahead of everybody else figuring out
that maybe the foster care situation might be serious enough
to talk about. But there is something else that's been
going on that I know most of you are aware of,

(37:14):
and it's still bubbling up. A lot of what I
have been doing when I've been getting in it's been
far too late to do so, but I've been spending time,
like I'm sure a lot of you have been watching
live streaming video from the streets of Portland, particularly the
area immediately in front of the ice facility in Portland.

(37:37):
I watch similar stuff going on in places like Chicago
and of course in Memphis, but you know, it's been
Portland that's really set the stage, because in Portland you
have both a governor and a mayor and a police
chief that literally might as well be card carrying members
of Antifa themselves.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
They come up with all this excuses, Aren't Zipa's not
really an organization.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
Oh, it's just a loose affiliation of blah blah blah whatever.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Hey, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 7 (38:13):
It really doesn't matter if you just think there's just
some randos roaming around wearing hoodies, showing up in masks
and start causing trouble. Aren't you supposed to stop that?
Aren't you supposed to be providing some level of security
on the streets of your city, of a major American

(38:35):
city within your state. If we're talking about the governor,
aren't you the ones responsible for making sure that journalists
who show up to film the Shenanigans are safe, that
residents that live along the road can travel freely along it.
Rather than have it taken over by a group of

(38:59):
coseplane mons. Isn't it your responsibility, mayor police chief to
step up and make sure that there are additional police
officers to provide the necessary security.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
When you know stuff is going down.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
Except that's the exact opposite of what's been happening, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
I want to give a.

Speaker 7 (39:22):
Very special shout out to a front line warrior who
has been stepping up to show footage.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Directly from there. Now, there are several, and of course.

Speaker 7 (39:33):
By naming one, I'm going to end up angering others,
or at least I feel like they'd have every right
to be angry, because there are several folks that have
been going out and doing the hard work. But Honey
Badger Mom, she has been doing phenomenal work since the
most recent episodes began. She's out there almost every night.

(39:57):
She's doing live streaming. She's made connections with other folks
so that they can air her live stream on their channels.
You're probably not seeing very much of it over on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
I would imagine. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (40:18):
I don't go there anymore. I'm watching on rumble myself.
There are folks that are carrying it, and a lot
of great channels are following up on it. But we
literally have violence on the street at this point. We
have people being assaulted, we have people being hit in
the face with freaking flagpoles, we have people being pushed

(40:43):
into to brush, and then they're the ones who are arrested. Why, oh, well,
disorderly conduct. Well, if disorderly conduct is the charge you're
going to put forward on a conservative journalist who is
simply there trying to defend themselves, because that's what happened.
They got shoved into a bush, got punched while they

(41:04):
were going down, They tried to take a swing back
to defend themselves, miss didn't hit anybody.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Then they went off and found a.

Speaker 7 (41:12):
Police officer, reported what happened, and what happens, then they
get arrested.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
They put them in the backseat of a car.

Speaker 7 (41:22):
Most of you guys, have you been watching this, you
already know exactly who I'm talking about. He's got one
of the most popular YouTube channels right now anyway, as
far as folks that are on the right and still
able to operate over there, and he's out there on
the front lines and they leave him in the back
of the cop car for freaking Ever, when they try
to figure out exactly what it is they're going to

(41:44):
charge him with and.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
It's it ended up being.

Speaker 7 (41:53):
A disorderly conduct in the middle of all that craziness
that being allowed to happen. Now a lot of people
are getting very harsh and saying a lot of negative
things about the Portland Police in this instance, and maybe
some of the officers are very deserving of it. But
it's my understanding that those police officers are under very

(42:16):
strict orders that they've been told to basically stay away
from that particular block. They're just down the street a
little bit. They can swoop in real quick if they've
got to do something that they just can't ignore whatever.
But for the most part, if it's Antifa or just
protesters or just some lefty wackiness where they're making sure

(42:41):
Donald Trump knows how the Portland are and spill, then
that's okay. I mentioned talking to doctor Lieberman in a
minute ago that there are these permission structures that have
been built and we are little looking at the police

(43:02):
chief of Portland, we're looking at the Mayor of Portland,
we're looking at the governor of the state. All have
created permission structures for people like Antifa to operate.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Perfectly.

Speaker 7 (43:19):
Okay, to go out there as your eleptist, but don't
you dare be conservative and notice something's wrong. Don't you
dare be conservative and go out there and document what's happening.
Don't let them see how nuts these people really are.
Don't you do that. That's when you've crossed the line.
That's when it's disorderly conduct, that's when it's criminal. Meanwhile,

(43:43):
a woman gets freaking hit in the eye Flightpole terrible,
had a gash under the eye and bruised up and
looked horrible, and she literally had to chase her assailant
down the street.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
She wasn't chased Jason, she was following.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
She finally found an officer as they were getting close
to this encampment that the Antifa types have set up
nearby so.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
That they can come back.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
It almost looks like a homeless encampment. She gets a
police officer, she explains what happens. It's not hard to
make the point. It's pretty obvious she was assaulted, pretty obvious.
It didn't just shouldn't just do it to herself, and
she didn't just fall And then the police officer kind
of follows the girl that this other woman has pointed

(44:34):
at as being the person responsible, follows her down for
a while, finally comes up, tries to catch up, starts
to make some type of intervention, and then the girl
just starts screaming at the cop, don't touch me, don't
touch me, blah blah, and then acrosses the street goes
on and the cop just stops at that point, no

(44:57):
further effort. The lawlessness that has been permitted, these permission
structures that have been created, has put us in a
position where literally the people of Portland of a certain
political persuasion and of a certain age honestly believe that

(45:18):
they're no longer part of the United States. They're part
of some autonomous zone that they can create and claim
at any point in time. They honestly do not believe
that they can be held accountable to the laws of
this country. And why wouldn't they feel like that? Again,

(45:38):
the people who were in charge, supposedly, the people who
are responsible for making sure that public safety is an
actual thing. They're cheering them on now, of course, in
front of the cameras. Oh, of course, there's nothing wrong here.
Oh there's nothing that requires national attention. Oh all this

(46:05):
they're putting up footage from twenty twenty to try and
say that things are out of control. No, sir, every
bit of footage that I've been watching has been live streaming.
And I'm pretty sure that these channels, these folks, they
don't have time travel keeping. They're not live streaming from

(46:29):
five years ago.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
They're not live.

Speaker 7 (46:32):
Streaming from the Summer of Love, from the George Floyd riots.
We are literally seeing what is happening right now. And
we get reports from ICE that they're watching assaults happen
across the street from their building. But unless that assault,

(46:57):
unless that assault occurs directly on a officer, then it
hasn't really crossed into the federal jurisdiction, so they're not
allowed to interfere. It remains a local police issue. So

(47:19):
if I got a problem with that, I have a
big problem with that, because didn't Donald Trump go through
the trouble of declaring Antifa a terrorist organization?

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Can you not intervene if you see an assault happening?
Are you not authorized to make.

Speaker 7 (47:46):
An arrest under the suspicion of them being a member
of Antifa? You see them engaging in what could still
be defined as terroristic activity. Right, they're trying to bully
off anybody that doesn't agree with them. They're trying to

(48:08):
intimidate ice, first and foremost that's not gonna work out
very well. But they're also trying to intimidate the normis
who are showing up just to see how nuts these
people are. And then those brave folks like a Honey
Badger Mom who are out there live streaming as much
of this insanity as they can, and you'll see and

(48:30):
you'll hear them, they'll make an honest effort for anybody
that tries to talk to them. They'll make an honest
different for as long as it's clear that there was
an opportunity there, and then they'll give up and just
start get snippy back and forth with the folks, which
is most of them, who were clearly not interested in
a conversation. They're there to be heroes of the resistance,

(48:55):
But what are you really resisting, guys, they're resisting the
enforcement of federal law. Well, we don't need no federal
law around here. We're we're we're Portland, Oregon. We're not
out freaking Washington, DC. No, you're not but you're under
the jurisdiction. You're part of this nation, whether you like

(49:19):
it or not. And if you don't like it, guess
what that doesn't mean You get to act all buck
wout and pretend like laws and woves don't.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
Look like.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
What you get to do.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Is move.

Speaker 7 (49:35):
If you don't like being American, if you don't like
being in America, if you don't like being held to
the standards of our social contract, you.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Are free to leave. Period. By now, don't let the
door hit you. Give Rosie O'Donnell our best when you
go to Ireland because you think that's gonna be better
for you. You're a big old hug for me. Tell her,
I said, Hey, none of that matters.

Speaker 7 (50:07):
So it should be so easy, it should be so simple,
There should be no question, there should be no doubt.
Antifa has been declared a terrorist organization and rightfully so.

(50:32):
So now if you see somebody assaulting at one of
these protests, anybody else that technically qualifies as at the
very least suspicion of terroristic behavior, these people are going
to have to be held accountable. The permission structure is
going to have to be crushed. The end of this

(50:53):
behavior is only going to come when there is full accountability.
And when I say full accountability, I'm not just talking
about the folks wearing the different color hairs roaming around
and chicken costumes and who knows what else they're doing,
but also.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
The police chief, the mayor. These folks need to be
held accountable to.

Speaker 7 (51:19):
They have a defined responsibility in their job descriptions, and
they do not get to pick and choose which laws
they want to enforce and which ordinances they think they should.
They are expected to provide basic, fundamental public safety. If

(51:39):
I was to roll up to this ice facility, I
should be able to break out my phone and start
recording and start saying whatever I want to without having
to be concerned that somebody's going to ease up from
behind me and take a cheap shot, hit me with
an am lead pipe or a pole, or a flagspilt
whatever it is they're doing to other reporters that are there.

(52:06):
I should be able to do that. They should be
free to protest as long as they keep it protesting,
but the minute it becomes criminal behavior, it's no longer protesting,
and the city officials have a responsibility to protect everyone,
including people that are there, working at the behest of
the federal government keeping them safe. The locals who live

(52:32):
in and around the neighborhood where this is happening have
a legal right to be able to travel that road
that keeps getting blocked off every single night. Why is
this not being ended immediately? Why is the federal government
not just stepping in and making the arrest. We've seen
the model. It works, DC was a perfect example. What's

(52:56):
happening in Memphis right now is working very very well.
It needs to be unleashed in other cities like Chicago
and in Portland.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
But the problem is in.

Speaker 7 (53:07):
Places like that, the local authorities are on the side
of the bad guys. The local authorities are in the
side of Antifa. They're on the side of tearing down
the Republic as she was founded, because they've got it
in their crazy mindset one way or another, somehow we're
the bad guys. Oh you're colonial, or you're a capitalist,

(53:30):
or you're just whatever. We are the prime examples of
the alpha level of Western civilization. We exist by the
grace of God because there's no other explanation for the
founding of this country. Oh we're a bunch of farmers
and a bunch of illiterate folks who barely had shoes on,

(53:54):
little lone rifles, and we beat the world's greatest superpower
at the time with just a little bit of help
from the French and some pirates. And there really wasn't
a whole lot of help there.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
There were some. It was important, it was valuable when
it happened.

Speaker 7 (54:11):
I don't want to underplay it, but it was still
mostly a couple of military geniuses and a whole lot
of folks that probably wouldn't even qualify to join Antiva
at the moment. That took divine intervention to occur. So

(54:32):
you want to deny that, that's fine, you.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Can ignore it all you want to. But we are
the apex.

Speaker 7 (54:37):
We are the literal top of what Western civilization is
supposed to be. And here we are, like the rest
of Western civilization, allowing ourselves to be torn down from
the inside. We're allowing ourselves to pervolve victim to the

(54:58):
philosophies and the musings.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Of Cloward and Pivot.

Speaker 7 (55:04):
We're allowing the globalist leftists to come in, to let
the George Soros types fund it, and to release the
criminals onto the streets, and to release the mentally ill
into the streets, and to create a whole new generation
of a new type of mental illness and let them

(55:24):
start shooting and killing people. And oh yeah, that's still
not going fast enough. Let's open the southern border and
let's bring in the insane and the criminal and the
thugs and the worst of the worst from all the
rest of the world, along with a fair sprinkling of

(55:45):
military aged on mission folks that are here to do.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Bad things too. That's absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 7 (55:53):
And like I said to doctor Carol Lieberman just a
little while ago, we're the bad way because we're the
ones who noticed, because we're the ones who speak up,
because we're the ones who were expressing the fact that
we're tired of it. The greatest thing that's happening right
now in the city of Memphis is the fact that

(56:14):
Operations Save Memphis is being super successful and the average
law abiding citizen that lives in that city who struggled
not just to keep their head above water, but to
just try to stay safe in an American city, in
a city here in the state of Tennessee, for crying
out loud, a hub of jazz music and of southern culture,

(56:42):
a place that used to be a major draw for tourism.
Now you, like every other former major draw of tourism
in this country, you have to take your life into
your own hands. If you want to go be a tourist,
you practically have to hire the security detail, and they
had better be pretty damn good. It's working, and those

(57:05):
law abiding citizens who've managed to survive this long, they
are grateful, and they are vocal about that gratefulness. Thank you,
President Trump. Thank you for coming in and doing the
job that Democrats wouldn't do. Democrats have broke this nation,
and that was their intent.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
And if if you're.

Speaker 7 (57:25):
Dealing with somebody, if you've elected somebody who wasn't on
board with that.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
That wasn't part of my plan. I didn't know that
was the plan, then.

Speaker 7 (57:33):
You've got yourself a useful idiot. Because it doesn't take
very much effort, and it doesn't take very much time
to do a bare minimum amount of research to see
what's worked in the past and what hasnened, what's the
most dangerous philosophies, what's the safest ones, what is American?

(57:56):
It's not hard, It's not hard at all. We'll be
right back after we reset the hour.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Don't go anywhere you're listening to Tap into the truths.

Speaker 7 (58:39):
Heytuned, Tim, We'll be right back after these important messages.

(59:12):
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 Talk Radio Network,
Liberty Talk FM, and the VARA Network.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
This is Tim Tap, host of Tap into the Truth.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
But I guess that doesn't cut in.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
I almost wish one in the name too.

Speaker 7 (01:00:35):
Olrighty, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so very much for
staying with us through that very brief break.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
As we reset.

Speaker 7 (01:00:42):
The hour and we now dive headlong into hour number
two of the Friday Night Live edition of Tapping to
the Truth.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Thank you so much for being here. I really mean that, I.

Speaker 7 (01:00:54):
Really I can't express to you how much I've really
appreciated and regardless of where you're listening or how you're listening,
regardless of whether you interact with me, whether or not
you pop on to the archives occasionally and click on
a link or maybe purchase an item that helps support

(01:01:14):
the show, or if you just listen and that's all
you do, maybe occasionally say Hey, that Tim guy, he's
all right, or or even if you're like I kind
of worry about that guy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
He probably needs to get some help.

Speaker 7 (01:01:26):
Unfortunately, doctor Lieberman doesn't have any openings for me at
the moment. But regardless of all that, I do appreciate
you spending your time here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 7 (01:01:38):
Whether you're listening to the case Star Talk Radio Network
or over on Liberty Talk FM or the Barn Network,
all of that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. All right, what
do you say we just jump in, you know, I
don't see a reason not to.

Speaker 7 (01:01:57):
We are joined once again. A tremendous American patriot. He's
a native Texan. He is a political commentator. He is
a prolific author.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
The list goes on and on and on. But the
thing that.

Speaker 7 (01:02:17):
I like to say most frequently, he's not only a
friend of the show, but I've come to feel as
if he's a personal friend, even though I haven't had
the chance to meet him in person yet. Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome back to the show once again, Richard V.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Battle. Richard, thank you so much for being here as always.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
How are you today, sir, Good evening, Tim, we're doing great.
Thanks for having us back, and I count you as
a friend as well. And Doug producing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
All right, and I'm sure Doug appreciates that. And he's
over here doing some well.

Speaker 7 (01:02:52):
At first, it was a yeah, okay, oh, he's trying
to reposition the camera so I can see you, all right. So,
you know, there's so much going on right now. We
just got news a little bit before airtime that evidently
Hamas is going to accept the deal that's kind of

(01:03:13):
being hoisted on them, and that kind of hijacked my
first segment with doctor Lieberman, so we kind of went
from my plan topic to discussing that a lot. I
had an open slot tonight because I wanted to express
some of my frustration with what we've seen going on
in Portland and in Chicago and these places where night

(01:03:38):
after night, federal law enforcement, particularly Ice, has been under
assault and the same thing involving individuals who were there
just to kind of report on what they see happening.
They're being assaulted, and no law enforcement locally is there

(01:03:59):
to assist their help.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
You know, we've got that going on.

Speaker 7 (01:04:03):
We've got what seems to be pretty successful happening in
Memphis right now with Operation Save Memphis and all that
going on. So I wanted to talk about the government
shutdown today, and I figured there's not too many people
better to discuss that topic with than you, and you

(01:04:25):
had an excellent historical perspective that you wanted to share
in regards to that. So I definitely want to get
this historical connection that you're discussed, but I kind of
still want to start with the nature of this shutdown
to begin with, we desperately see Chuck Schumer, who's trying

(01:04:46):
to look like he is tough and ready to stand
up against Donald Trump. For all appearances, it looks like
he's concerned about not being far left enough for the
voters of New York anymore. How much of that do
you think is playing into this otherwise pointless shutdown.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Well, I think a lot, and I think it's affecting
the entire elected party of the Democrats, because they've put
themselves out on this limb saying quote unquote, they're going
to fight and they're not going to quit. And here
they're in an untenable position, and yet they don't have
any of the cards. And so when you're in a

(01:05:29):
position like that, almost like a moss is in. The
outcome is pretty much determined. It's just a matter of
how ugly it's going to be and the number of
casualties to get there.

Speaker 7 (01:05:41):
Yeah, it just it seems almost, I mean not even almost.
It just seems crazy to me that here we have
what has, for all intents and purposes, become a one
eighty degree statement from Chuck Schumer, particularly when it comes

(01:06:02):
to the subject of government shutdowns. Here in an effort
to try and hold up a continuing resolution, something that's
only a temporary fix in the first place. It's not
like it's going to have any major effects down the road,
but it does kind of open up the door to
allow President Trump to do some of the things he

(01:06:23):
was hoping to accomplish with Doche. In fact, a lot
of what they claim to be trying to stand up
against now can be further accomplished. And you would expect
that somebody as politically savvy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
And this is one of the few things I will give.

Speaker 7 (01:06:41):
I will give Chuck Schumer any credit for he and
Nancy Pelosi in particular. I don't like their policies. I
don't like how they think. I don't like how they
view the American republic and I certainly don't like how
they view the American people, but they are pretty politically savvy.
They know how to make their standpoints, and it looks

(01:07:01):
like they just have nowhere to go with this. It's
surprising to me that he's allowed himself to go down
this path.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Well, for the first time in my memory, the Republicans
are on the offensive in this situation. Historically, the Democrats
have been on the offensive and the Republicans have been
playing weak hands and defensively. I think we also see
the Republicans have a multi step strategy that they're employing
right now with the media campaigns, the terminations. I think

(01:07:36):
they're fine. As this thing goes on, they will continue
to ratchet down the pressure on the Democrats. And I
think we see what the press conferences and with the
reaction to the means that the Democrats are totally off
their game. They're on a defensive once again. They've been
there all year, but they're not used to being on

(01:07:57):
the defensive, and they keep being put in these positions
to defend the indefensible, and by that I mean the
Republicans only put out for the continuing resolution Biden's spending
bill the exact same bill that the Democrats have voted
thirteen times for. So it's very difficult for them to say, well,

(01:08:18):
I voted for it thirteen times, I can't vote for
it this time.

Speaker 11 (01:08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:08:24):
It is also hard for them to continue to deny
the fact that one of the major points that they
are in fact supposedly fighting for. And you know, air
quotes work really well on the radio, Richard, but I'm
using the air quotes right now that they're fighting for
is the fact that they want to get free healthcare

(01:08:45):
to people who shouldn't be in the country anyway. And
even some of the reporters in places like CNN are
having to call them out on this and show them
footage of the Democratic debate where they were try trying
to pick Joe Biden to be their candidate a few
years back, where they all raise their hand about offering

(01:09:07):
free healthcare, some of the excuses coming from.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Oh, yeah, we want to make sure everybody has health care.

Speaker 11 (01:09:14):
Kay.

Speaker 7 (01:09:15):
But they keep playing this double game. Is a two
tier game. Number One, they want to pretend like because
they had parolled these illegal border crossers that somehow that
makes them no longer illegal border crossers, which of course
it doesn't. It's semantics, it's leftist word games. And then

(01:09:38):
the other thing they keep they keep pretending as if
money is not fungible, the same argument that they make
we're trying to continuously support planned parenthood.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
If I if you.

Speaker 7 (01:09:51):
Have one hundred dollars in your budget, Richard, and ten
of dollars of that is going to go to food
for today's lunch and dinner, and then I give you
ten dollars and you say, okay, Tim, I'm only going
to use your ten dollars to buy food. And then
you turn around and use the ten dollars you were

(01:10:12):
going to budget and do something crazy with it that,
of course I wouldn't approve of. We're going to pretend
like that's not a thing that happens.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
And the other thing they do with that is they
spend every dollar that they're given and more. And that's
one of the reasons we've not had a budget since
nineteen ninety seven. The Democrats figured out early, but the
Republicans have done a pretty good job playing along with it.
They figured out that if there wasn't a budget, then
they wouldn't be held accountable for spending more than the budget,

(01:10:45):
and so that benefits politicians on both sides. Unfortunately, I
wish we had some kind requirement for them to actually
have a budget passed or else they would have to
shut down versus this continuing resolution gain which just continues
to give them the ability to operate without accountability.

Speaker 7 (01:11:07):
Basically, yeah, yeah, not only should every time they fail
to have an actual budget in place, should the government
shut down, but they should be the first folks that
have their salaries cut, and that I wouldn't be opposed
to being removed from office if they have more than

(01:11:28):
one shut down during any one term of service too.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
I would love to see that at it.

Speaker 7 (01:11:35):
On, But unfortunately, Richard, they don't let me make these decisions.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Well, maybe exactly why William F. Buckley said he'd rather
be governed by the first five hundred and thirty five
people in the New York City phone books in Congress
because he knew normal, everyday people would make wiser decisions
and lifetime politicians.

Speaker 7 (01:12:01):
All Right, So I think we've established based on some
of these topics and maybe even another topic or two
that we might find ourselves kind of winding into before
we're done talking tonight that this is a time that
we could use some national healing. I think a good
first step of that is getting everybody to understand that

(01:12:24):
as Americans, we do have a social contract and you
are expected to follow the laws, and there's a right
way and the wrong way to go about changing the laws.
But you had a historical perspective, like I mentioned at
the top, in regards to some comparisons with what's going
on with this shutdown and with what kind of led

(01:12:44):
to a different time when we had some national healing
going on. So I'm gonna let you kind of explain
all that to the listeners, because obviously you are the
historian between the two of us.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Well, I appreciate that. And it's interesting in that I
set this discussion up with some other programs I do
because tomorrow is Rutherford B. Hayes' birthday, and I know
your audience is saying, who the heck is Rutherford B. Hayes,
But it just so happens it coincides with this government
shut down in all this division. And he was elected

(01:13:24):
president in eighteen seventy six, and that election and what
came about because of it helped the national healing after
the Civil War. And I think the example of that
is instructive for us today because back in those days,
we healed from a civil war that six to seven

(01:13:45):
hundred thousand soldiers died and the country healed, but it
took elected officials on both sides to put country ahead
of self or party, and we do not see that
with rare exceptions today. I wanted to kind of share
what happened with Hayes as an example. It's also an
example of an election that took one hundred and fifteen

(01:14:08):
days to resolve and how Congress and the leadership actually
had to do something to help it get resolved or
have a constitutional crisis. Okay, and I'll dive right in
with the Paul right. And so Ruther B. Hayes was

(01:14:29):
an interesting guy because he had not been politically ambitious.
He wasn't real interested in the issues going on before
the Civil War, but when war declared, he volunteered and
rose up to be a general. They tried to get
him to run for Congress in eighteen sixty four. He

(01:14:50):
was so committed to his responsibility he did not leave
the field to campaign for Congress, but was elected anyway.
And then he ended up being a elected governor of
Ohio in eighteen sixty seven, lost a House race, and
an elected governor of Ohio in eighteen seventy five. And
so as we came up on the election of eighteen

(01:15:11):
seventy six, there were some interesting things that happened uniquely
that helped the healing afterwards. And as I mentioned, it
took one hundred and fifteen days to resolve. Eighteen hundred
and eighteen twenty four, the Congress resolved election disputes, which
is what the Constitution says. Eighteen seventy six. The politicians,

(01:15:35):
avoiding accountability, they appointed a federal election commission to resolve
the election, and it had congress people, senators, and Supreme
Court justices, and wouldn't you know, they decided their opinion
by one vote after election night. Samuel Tilden, the governor

(01:15:57):
of New York, led by nineteen electoral votes. There were
five states that had disputes, imagine this. One of them
was Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, Vermont, and Oregon, and they
involved counting the votes or unqualified electors. Those votes tallied twenty.

(01:16:21):
For Hayes to win, he had to win all twenty
of those for Tilden to win, he just needed one.
Another interesting aspect of that year, they admitted Colorado as
a state as a centennial state because it was admitted
that year, but they did it in a unusual fashion,

(01:16:41):
and if they would have done it in the normal fashion,
those electoral votes that went to Hayes, those three votes
would have not been cast and Hayes would not have won.
Another interesting sidellite was that George Armstrong Custer. The reason
he was trying so hard to be the big hero,

(01:17:03):
he wanted to be the Democrat candidate for president that year,
but as we all know, that didn't happen. And so
as we go through this one hundred and fifteen days,
every day it appears like Tilden will win, but Hayes
is relentless in his perseverance in the contest, following every

(01:17:25):
legal opportunity to contest the election, and we have legal
manners for that, which is what the president tried to
do in twenty twenty but was rebuffed by multiple parties.
If you will, the Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, which,

(01:17:45):
like I say, in eighteen hundred and eighteen twenty four,
decided the election. They could have decided the election for
Tilden as well, but they didn't. And what ended up
happening after one hundred and fifteen days, barely in time
for the March fourth, constitutionally prescribed inauguration day, was they

(01:18:07):
ended up cutting a deal that Hayes would only serve
one term in office, so these Democrat states would vote
for him, and that he pledged to pull federal troops
out of the South and in reconstruction, which had gone
on for eleven years. And anybody from the South knows
the South was punished severely by the North, more so

(01:18:31):
than if Lincoln would have left. And so after they
did that right before March fourth, Haes ends up getting
those five states, those twenty electoral votes, wins the presidency
by one electoral vote. And the thing that's amazing is
the Democrats and Republicans work together and compromised not only

(01:18:51):
for a solution for that election, but for something that
would be beneficial long term. And that's the difference between
apollopitian and a statesman. A politician only cares about self
from the next election. A statesman cares about the next generation.

Speaker 7 (01:19:10):
Yeah that we are certainly short served on that list.
We've mentioned the topic before, and I think you are
an excellent example actually of a servant leader.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
That is something that has been missing from our culture
for a while.

Speaker 7 (01:19:28):
But I think that this is another really good example
of when the folks decide that the work is more
important than any personal gain that might come out. When
people realize that you must first take care of the
nation in order to be prosperous in it, it changes
the perspective a lot, and it becomes a reality that

(01:19:51):
you understand that you are being self serving to a
degree when you put everyone else's needs first, because it
allows you a great opportunity at prosperity yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Well, that's very true, and one of the indicators that
we do not have that type of leadership today is
the continual deficit spending and the increasing debt that our
leaders are putting our country into. Those had a nine
billion dollar expense cut earlier in the year, and people

(01:20:23):
screamed about how draconian that was. I think if we
put regular American citizens and business people in there, we
could cut nine billion dollars a week or more. There
is no excuse for spending more than our income period,
and we have more income than we used to have,

(01:20:45):
but we're spending and have significantly increase spending since COVID,
and there's no indication of ratcheting it back to pre
COVID levels or even to balance budget levels. And that's
a sin for both parties.

Speaker 7 (01:21:00):
Yeah, at least it certainly should be. I think one
of the most eye opening events was when those started
releasing a lot of the reports of how a lot
of this money was being spent, so much of it
was actually leaving the country, and lots of cases was
going to fund organizations that are supposed to be non governmental.

(01:21:23):
It's like, can you really claim to be non governmental
if you are receiving that much governmental money? And again
reminding the American public that the government really doesn't have
any money of its own.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
It just keeps taking from us to cover whatever those
bills are.

Speaker 7 (01:21:40):
But yeah, this notion somehow that there is a never ending,
always more available pool of wealth that people like Chuck
Schumer and had Keen, Jeffries and Acassio Cortes and even
the Ilhanno Mars who want to make sure that their

(01:22:02):
constituencies in Mogadishu are better served than in Minnesota, they
have to understand that there were always supposed to be
limits on what they did. They were supposed to have
fudiciary responsibilities for the money that they took. They're supposed
to be responsible. And I think that also is one

(01:22:24):
of the things that is very, very different about the
Trump presidency than any other presidency in at least modern history.
It's certainly been a while since the notion of putting
the American people first, putting the governments on a diet,
if you will, is a way to serve the people.

(01:22:47):
It's just been a very long time since we've had
anybody that even publicly spoke about it. We've been so
long out now, Richard with even supposedly fiscal conservative, there's
even mentioning budgetary concerns that it's almost ridiculous for it
to be mentioned in the same breath. There are so

(01:23:09):
few politicians that are concerned about earning votes in a
fashion other than trying to buy them.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
Well, you're exactly correct, and this happens at every level
of government. I mean, my taxes are going up locally,
at the county, state level, federal level, and the politicians
with rare exception, very rare. I mean, we never hear
of any deficis halks these days. They think there's nothing
too good for the government, and there's no amount of

(01:23:38):
money that the taxpayer shouldn't sacrifice to give the government
money to spend, whereas the government should be the one
sacrificing in tough times. But they never expect to. And
that's the sad reality of it. And of course that
happened starting with going off the gold standard in seventy one.

(01:23:58):
If you go back and look at the charge deficits
went sky high as well as inflation. When we were
on the goal standard, politicians were held a little bit
more in check because they had to account for the
dollars spent against the goal reserves of the country.

Speaker 7 (01:24:18):
It seems too that not only that, but there's been
such a disconnection from federal officeholders from their constituencies.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
In that same time period.

Speaker 7 (01:24:31):
They don't really feel like they're accountable to the people
of their home districts. They're more accountable to the special
interest groups that are taking them out for dinner or
making sure that they get all the best seats at
whatever events they want to go to. The very notion
of the gentleman farmer being the elected official, the private

(01:24:56):
business owner that is accepting the role as an honor,
but I was also out of a sense of duty,
but is in a hurry to get back to their
life and their business and their livelihood. Before there was
such a thing as a career politician here in the States,
it just seems like such a far fetched idea. It's

(01:25:18):
hard to get people now to imagine that there was
ever really a time in America where that was a
real thing.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Well, and they get away with it because the people
allow that, and the people allow it because all of
us are frustrated and we think we can't make a difference,
and so they rely on us doing nothing and unplugging
from the process and just letting them run rampant with everything.

(01:25:47):
And it's what I call in Washington the all you
can take buffay, because they enrich themselves while they have
the public mesmerized and just off doing other things. And
I think it's so important and if I could encourage
people for one thing. None of us can do everything
about the issues we are concerned about, but we can

(01:26:08):
all do one thing, and if it's communicating with your
congress person or senator or local elected officials, to let
them know you're there and that you care and you
don't like something they're doing. If enough people do that,
then they will have to stand up because they'll realize
if they don't respond to the people, they will get
thrown out of office. And that's what's really needed these times,

(01:26:32):
to go with new people, new blood that aren't encumbered
to these lobbyists.

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:26:39):
Unfortunately, about the only thing left to get these spokes
attention is the possibility that they may not get to
go back if they're still hoping to Richard, stay right
where you're at. All you guys out there listening. You
don't go anywhere either. We'll be right back after these

in sixteen twenty, the Pilgrims established a colony at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Their purpose was to establish a political commonwealth governed by
biblical standards. The Mayflower Compact, their initial government document, clearly

(01:28:26):
stated that they had undertaken what's for the glory of
God and the advancement of the Christian faith, along withstanding
for the unalienable rights of the people, which, by the
way come from God. William Braffort, the second governor of Plymouth, stated,
the colonists cherished a great hope and inward zeal of

(01:28:46):
laying good foundations for the propagation and advancement of the
Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ in the remote parts
of the world, while establishing a beachhead of liberty in

I stay prolific, I mean prolific. He's constantly working on
new stuff and everything is worthy of a position somewhere
in your personal library. I promise you, Richard, before we

(01:33:29):
get back into the conversation, please let everybody know where
they can find you and your work. And as long
as you invite people to follow you on social media,
also feel free to share handle some platforms.

I appreciate that, Tim. We're on exit. Richard V. Battle.
My website is Richardbattle dot com. All books are signed there,
all twelve. If you'd like one inscribed as a gift,
email me Richard at Richardbattle dot com after you order,

on Kendle at eight on audio. And the discussion we
had about Brotherford B. Hayes is in our latest volume,
Americans Who Made America nineteenth Century Growth, Division and Reunification.

Speaker 7 (01:34:21):
All right, you know, one of my favorite things that
you do on social media is you continue something that
you started with one of your previous books with the
daily affirmations essentially is what it was, and you'll do
these quick videos and you give your address, what's the

(01:34:48):
word I'm looking for here tried and tested wisdom in
facing current modern issues. You do a phenomenal job of
showing how the tried and shrewd wisdom still holds suit,
especially in an age where so many folks on the
left try and convince us that it doesn't apply anymore

(01:35:10):
because it was never good then, and all this other
crazy stuff. And I don't know if you get enough
feedback on those or not. I'm sure you get plenty
of feedback, but I just want to make sure that
you know point blank that I am very appreciative of that,
because there's been more than one occasion where somehow magically, Richard,

(01:35:31):
you just happened to have known exactly what I needed
to hear on certain days, and I appreciate that so much.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
I appreciate that that volume is life's daily treasure. And
during COVID, like so many other people, our culture and
media and politicians discouraged us, and so I was looking
for things that would encourage me, scripts or motivational quotes,
historical facts because people were beating up the country, and

(01:35:59):
so I ended up writing this book. And so there's
three hundred and sixty six daily listings. Each day has
six items, a scripture, a motivational quote, one of my quotes,
and then there's three things about America that are positive
birthdays of great Americans, historical events, days like nationalized cream days.

(01:36:23):
So there's every day you read for a minute and
be uplifted with hope, optimism, personal growth, and encouragement. And
so the books there, and I ended up creating three
hundred and sixty six videos to go along with it.
They're at Richard V. Battles Life or Richard Battles Life

(01:36:43):
Daily Treasures on YouTube. So every day I have two
of those six items in a video that people can
see and they can subscribe to that if they're inclined.
There's no charge for that at all.

Speaker 1 (01:37:00):
Like I said, you are the epitome of a servant leader, sir.

Speaker 7 (01:37:04):
And like I said before, thorely missing in significant numbers
we need to return to that. Was there anything further
you wanted to head on in regards to the government
shut down or this historical look that you had at it?

Speaker 1 (01:37:26):
Before we move on, let me give you two.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
Of Rutherford B. Hayes quotes, and I love quotations, and
in this Americans who loved America are Americans who made
America nineteenth century. There's over four hundred quotes. Two of
his were Nothing brings out the lower traits of human nature,
like office seeking. Men of good character and impulses are

(01:37:52):
betrayed by it into all sorts of meanness. And that
is not only in politics, but can be in business
as well. And then he said, let every man, every corporation,
and especially let every village, town and city, every county
and state get out of debt and keep out of debt.

(01:38:13):
It is the debtor that is ruined by hard times,
and that is as applicable today as it was in
the eighteen sevens.

Speaker 3 (01:38:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:38:23):
I believe that falls under the category of universal truth, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
And it also demonstrates that our human nature is no
different than there was then, and that we can learn
from the wisdom of the ages and the successes and
mistakes that our predecessors made, so we don't have to
make all the mistakes again.

Speaker 1 (01:38:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:38:46):
If only we would, Richard, if only we would. Yes,
all right, obviously, you know we talked about this. We
haven't had a chance to get together since the passing
of Charlie Kirk as he was assassinated in public.

Speaker 1 (01:39:07):
And you know, as.

Speaker 7 (01:39:08):
Tragic as that was and as heroic I would say
Erica Kirk's response has been to that. Very few things
have turned my stomach as much as to watch the
reaction of certain people on the left who taken liberties

(01:39:30):
with Charlie's legacy, who have misconstrued what he said, taking
things way out of context. I don't want to spend
a whole lot of time with it, because I do
think we need to give the Kirk family opportunity to

(01:39:51):
breathe and to grieve rather than keep it in the
national conversation. But I did want to get your thoughts
on it, because again, you're one of those folks that
I think of when something like this happens that I
would almost guarantee you have a historical perspective in regards
to these responses too.

Speaker 2 (01:40:12):
Well, you're correct, and it just goes to show that
the level of evil that's in our country right now,
who will stop at nothing to defeat traditional American values,
has never been at a higher level. The first lesson
I learned at the funeral for my son when he passed.

(01:40:32):
My pastor and his sermons said the impact of a
life is more important than its length, And I think
Charlie Kirk is an example of that. His impact will
live long beyond his short thirty one years, and he's
gone on to serve in the next life. I'm a
believer that as long as we have breath, it's our

(01:40:54):
duty to serve here, and that everything we do here
prepares us to serve there. And I think that's where
he's serving now. But we also have the inspiration, example
and encouragement of his activities to instill in us the
confidence encourage to go forward and to make that difference,

(01:41:17):
and that we can help other people, maybe not at
the same level or the same way he did, but
in other ways that fulfill our mission and purpose.

Speaker 5 (01:41:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:41:29):
Yeah, I've got to admit, though, Richard, there are a
few things that make me as angry as to hear
some of the responses for folks on the left, il
hann Omar being one of the more vocal ones, but
even folks like Honey Coates, who.

Speaker 1 (01:41:49):
The left holds up as some great writer.

Speaker 7 (01:41:52):
And you know, I've read a lot over the years, Richard,
and I get the pleasure in the honor of getting
to have a lot of great authors come on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
And I don't see it I don't see him as being.

Speaker 7 (01:42:06):
A particularly great writer or particularly thinker as far as
that's concerned. But to see these folks do that, it
really does anger me. But it is along the vein
of how these folks do think that has created a
bit of a permission structure. That's a phrasing I keep

(01:42:30):
using quite a bit here over the last few weeks.
Where the people that we normally entrust with the roles
of leadership to provide public safety at local levels, like
mayors and city councils and county commissions and things of

(01:42:51):
that nature, and then at the state levels, some of
the people that we have in certain locations are actively.

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
Working to try and tear things down.

Speaker 7 (01:43:01):
And I don't know if you've been watching much of
the footage night after night in Portland, Oregon, where they
keep doing these start out as protests, end up as
assaulting people they disagree with actions in front of the
ice facility there. But the people who are supposed to

(01:43:23):
be maintaining law and order are in fact the ones
that are preventing it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:29):
I was talking earlier about how.

Speaker 7 (01:43:31):
Accountability even for those officials a police captain, for example,
who you have a police chief who tells his officers
to stand down and let anything happen in a certain area.
That to me is criminal in fact, and they need
to be held accountable. A mayor who tells their police

(01:43:52):
chief that that is criminal and should be dealt with
by more than just removal from office. But that's the
release that should happen. Am I oversensitive to that? Am
I overreacting when I say things like that? Is there
a better way to address that in your mind?

Speaker 5 (01:44:12):
Or?

Speaker 1 (01:44:12):
Am I spot on? And we just all need to
get the pitchporks and torches?

Speaker 2 (01:44:16):
Well, I think your spot on. And earlier in our lives,
there wasn't a lot of difference in people on the
left and right, Democrat and Republican, and so when we
elected people there wouldn't be a great movement one way
or the other. But I think, as I mentioned earlier,
especially anti Christians, people who want socialists or communist governments,

(01:44:40):
people who do not want the traditional Americans. They are
out and they are offensive now, which requires us to
stand up against them. And when I hear them talk,
I just think of the adage I was taught early
consider the source. And so when we see people like
in Portland, the elected official and the sheriffs and people

(01:45:02):
like that are doing what they're doing. I think it
just tells us that we have to be better at
picking peoples based on their values, their principles, and their
experience to represent us. That we can't just allow anybody
into office, because if they get in and if their
principles differ from ours and traditional American values, we're basically

(01:45:27):
letting a counter revolution to the revolution that established this
country into the tent, so to speak. And I think
it's here and we have to stand up against it.
And I think the people in Portland right now are
recognizing there's a new sheriff in town. Before they could
stand up and protest and get violent and the elected

(01:45:48):
officials would cower and walk away and let them do
whatever they want to. And President Trump is not going
to do that. He's going to stand up and punish them.
And we'll see what happens after that occurs. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:46:03):
Well, I mean, hopefully they come around to the realization
that by being an American, they are part of our
social contract. You know, we agree that we're going to
conduct ourselves in a certain manner in public, and we
agree that my rights to end where your rights begin

(01:46:24):
and vice versa. And what you do in the privacy
of your own home is your business. What you do
in public, however, is the business of everyone who.

Speaker 1 (01:46:33):
Can see you.

Speaker 7 (01:46:35):
These simple, basic, fundamental rules that it doesn't take a
whole lot of understanding. They've all been kind of thrown
out the window, and it's difficult to even get people
to understand now, well, younger people who've never been held
to a standard, to understand that there is a difference

(01:46:56):
between performative virtue signaling and just being free. There are
limits to public freedom. You have to abide by certain
standards of decency. And that's not about me forcing my
morality on you, or Doug forcing his morality on.

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
Jay down the street, or who.

Speaker 7 (01:47:22):
It is about us understanding certain things are just not
appropriate for public behavior, and that violence and political assassinations
are not how we do business in the United States
of America.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
Well, I think that you are illuminating that we're in
a cultural conflict, and I think that there's a large
percentage of people on the left that will never change,
and so they have to be defeated and they have
to be removed from power if we want to restore
the American Western civilization culture that this country was founded on,

(01:48:03):
and I think that's what is going to take. If
we like the Pro America culture, I think we have
to stand up and become involved and not let those
people run over us. So, for example, the trans movement
is a minuscule percentage of the population, yet they have
undue influence because of how loud they are and where

(01:48:26):
they've gotten so far in the power structure. And I
think that you're seeing right now in the military and
other areas. Now you're starting to see the tides stemmed
and pushback on that to rebalance where we have the
Pro America culture of our founding. I think the big
issue that we're going to have to address in the

(01:48:47):
future is the issue of Islam and the big fake
that is a religion of peace when it's actually a
political doctrine and one that is not compatible with our constitution,
and we cannot allow it to grow. If it does,
it will dominate us and take over the country.

Speaker 7 (01:49:07):
Yeah, well, we're already seeing that happen. We've watched it
happen in other Western cultures. We've watched it happen in
Germany and in France. It's happening in the UK, we
see it happening here in the United States. There are
portions of Michigan now that are essentially no go zones.

Speaker 1 (01:49:28):
And it has been kind of a running joke here
on this.

Speaker 7 (01:49:31):
Show and over at the Ron Edwards Show about dearborn
Michigan just being Dearbornistan. But it's expanded well beyond the
limitations of dearborn Michigan. Although they riled some feathers the
other day when I was watching some footage of their
mayor saying some unbelievably cruel things to a citizen who

(01:49:56):
simply was speaking up at the notion of having a
street in the city named after a Hesibala supporter. We
have conclaves here just outside of Nashville, down here in Tennessee,
and that's expanding. We see Mandani about to be become
the mayor of New York City. We see multiple places

(01:50:20):
around the country where they are becoming the dominant political force.
You look at Rashida talib Or il Han Omar, who
I mentioned earlier. Il Hanna Omar has made it quite
plain on multiple occasions she's more concerned about her constituency
back in Mogadishu than she is about what's happening in Minnesota.

(01:50:44):
So how do we push back and message properly without
falling into the trap of looking like what they accuse
us of every time we notice and speak up.

Speaker 2 (01:50:59):
Well, I think there are some Muslims that are peaceful,
but the true believers their mission is to have Sharia
law and take over the country. And so I think
first thing we've got to do is get rid of
any illegal alien Muslims. And then I think we need

(01:51:19):
to stand up again to our elected officials and let
them know that we need to prohibit Sharia law and
that we need to reaffirm the Constitution and our local
governing documents is what we're going to live by. And
if those people want the Sharia law, I think we
need to welcome them to go wherever they find it.

Speaker 7 (01:51:41):
Well, I can't agree with you more Richard. Obviously, if
you're not supposed to be here, don't be here. If
you don't like it here, don't be here. If you're
Rosie O'Donnell and you're just scared of Donald Trump, go
to Ireland.

Speaker 1 (01:52:01):
Enjoy your time.

Speaker 7 (01:52:04):
It seems like a simple concept, but we still stand
as that shining example of what it's like not to
be part of a political philosophy slash death cult. And
those are my words, not Richard's words. I do not
assume I'm putting words in his mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:52:24):
This is me talking.

Speaker 7 (01:52:26):
But Richard's right when he talks about political Islam. It
is a political philosophy more so than a religion. Regardless.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
Can you imagine during World War II allowing Germans who
were pro Nazi They did it before the war started,
but after the war they were pretty well squelched. And
can you imagine them standing up and working for within
the United States to undermine our efforts in World War Two?

(01:52:58):
Or a Japanese population. And yes, Roosevelt put him in
in tournament camps, and that may have been a little
over the line, but they recognized that they could not
allow a divisive group inside the country to undermine our efforts.
And that was the last time our freedom was we
were in mortal peril. Well, I would say today we're

(01:53:19):
in mortal peril, but we haven't awakened to that yet.
I mean, ever since the shab Iran fell in nineteen
seventy nine, militant Islam has been at war with us,
and we did not want to acknowledge it till nine
to eleven, and I can't believe how much of it
we've forgotten since nine to eleven.

Speaker 7 (01:53:36):
Yeah, it really doesn't take long for the American mindset.
We just saw in the UK this attack on a
synagogue during Yam Kippar. The absurdity of what's being allowed
to happen. The guy's name literally was Jihad. It seems

(01:53:57):
a little on the nose to me, Richard.

Speaker 1 (01:54:00):
His name. I need to give you an opportunity. We're
quickly running out of time. All the good conversations always
go by way too quickly, but I want to give
you a chance to have any final thoughts for the
evening before we shut down and say our final goodbyes.
So now would be that time, sir Well.

Speaker 2 (01:54:17):
I appreciate you and your audience, and I know they're good,
god fearing, patriotic type Americans, and that's the space that
I play in, and anyone who would like to communicate,
We welcome you to also look at the work we
do and the books and speaking and things. If there's
any way we can be of service to help our

(01:54:38):
great country. We're in.

Speaker 1 (01:54:42):
All right.

Speaker 7 (01:54:43):
As always, Richard, I greatly appreciate you taking time out
and coming and being part of the show on these
Friday nights. It means a lot to me personally, and
always get such great responses and great feedback, so I
know the audience loves it too.

Speaker 1 (01:55:01):
God speed to you.

Speaker 7 (01:55:02):
Keep up all the great work, and I look forward
to there next time that we get together and continue
the conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:55:09):
Absolutely, God God bless America.

Speaker 1 (01:55:12):
Alrighty, all right, ladies and gentlemen, That of course was
mister Richard b.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
Battle.

Speaker 1 (01:55:17):
And I'm not kidding.

Speaker 7 (01:55:18):
If you guys haven't started adding Richard to your libraries,
you're falling behind and you're going to want to catch
up once you get started. And that's not me telling
you not to get started, that's me saying, hurry.

Speaker 1 (01:55:30):
You need to do it. Every book is a great book.
Whether it's one of his business coaching books, one of
his personal inspirations base based, or one of his political
or historical books, they are all fantastic and they're all
worth the definitely read and ownership. And meanwhile, it's going
to have to be it for now.

Speaker 7 (01:55:53):
I want to make sure that you guys remain vigilant,
stay aware of your your surroundings, because, as we've discussed
over and over tonight, these are dangerous times to just
walk down the street, even in places where you used
to feel safe. So keep one eye open, keep your

(01:56:15):
head on the swivel, do not let yourself be distracted,
and remember, don't take my word for it, definitely don't
take Chucky Schumer's word for it. Be prepared to put
in some effort and most importantly, use your brain.

Speaker 1 (01:56:32):
If you really want to tap into the truth.

Speaker 5 (01:56:34):
Can night.

Speaker 1 (01:56:35):
Everybody, have a great weekend, and we'll see you next
week with the EV. That's all, folks.

You say gun control is using both hands, like the
turn the.

Speaker 6 (01:58:47):
Free, don't win to the time two to three, more
than a thousand nuts.

Speaker 5 (01:58:55):
To take, not battling.

Speaker 9 (01:59:14):
Now the New World are not true?

Speaker 6 (01:59:16):
Well, there are many lads and they can pass one
hundred bolls, but we still won't give it down.

Speaker 5 (01:59:27):
Or any stings about deal. If they try to take
this lamb, they have the chance.

Speaker 4 (01:59:34):
To reduce them.

Speaker 5 (01:59:36):
Gun control

Speaker 4 (01:59:45):
Is using both hands.
