Speaker 1 (01:44):
My God is really really special and I love my
dad law.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm proud of him and that even though he isn't
here with us, but he died as a true hero.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I much everything about him, and the moment that the
officers and I had to come see the children, my
biggest reaction was, I don't have seven arms. I have
seven children who just lost their father, and I don't
have seven arms to wrap around them.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I'm Frank Cla, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation. Our foundation is committed to delivering mortgage free
homes for gold Star families and fall and first respond
to families.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind. The thought of what in the world will
I possibly do to pay the bills? How will I
possibly let the children have a life that feels normal.
I don't want them to have to quit.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Their piano lessons or their basketball.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
I don't want them to feel that we have to
move into a little apartment and struggle financially. In addition
to the emotional weight.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
There are over one thousand families that need our help.
Punel to Talis is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with mortgage free homes.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's
(03:21):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Dollars a month.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eighth
four four Bravest or visit Tunnel to Towers dot org.

The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's time now for the conservative curmudgeon radio show. Now
here's grouchy.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
Good evening.
Speaker 12 (05:26):
I hope you are holdover from Inquiry with Stephen and
Elf Fellas did a great job. If you're not holdover,
you should be. You need to be tuned into the
hour before me, just like you need to be tuned
into the hours following me every Wednesday on kl RN Radio.
(05:48):
We're streaming it live on x It's kind of what
we do. You know, we got the chat room cooking,
all the cool kids are here, and uh, you know,
we got the busiest man in show business behind the
behind the screen, pushing all the buttons, probably trying to
(06:08):
woolf down some dinner. Probably doesn't want me bothering him
right now, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
N early Now that I now that I work from home,
I always make sure I eat by like five.
Speaker 12 (06:18):
Five thirty now, So look at you, So what's what's
our what's our programming later tonight look like?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So after us, we have our friends over behind them
emy lines. As you know, we're getting pretty close to
election day in New York City and it's looking kind
of dangerous about you know, them potentially electing a comedy
So I'm sure that I'll be talking about they'll be
talking about that tonight, since Jean still lives right in
the heart of the People's Republic of New York. And
(06:45):
and then after that we'll come back over here for
the Rickularity Show. Then we'll be finishing off the night
with a double shot at the edge of Liberty Sean
will be live first, and then we'll be rerunning the
show that I didn't run for him on Monday because
I was sick. Uh, And there is no busies the
Bobcats on Oland to night, so we'll get a double
shot of the edge of Liberty on the way out
the door.
Speaker 12 (07:05):
There you go. I told you he's the hardest worry
man in show business. He'll be up till about one o'clock.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
This morning, uh, counting follow ups, edits and getting stuff
ready for tomorrow, probably about one thirty two o'clock in
my time, and then i'll be six starting over.
Speaker 12 (07:20):
Your time is my time? By the way, we're on
God's time.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, well I'm not used to that. Everybody else everybody
else either lives in the future of the past. I
live in you do tube.
Speaker 12 (07:31):
Yeah, we're we're in that limbo land. So it's okay.
Time zones are stupid, Well they can.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
They kind of became a necessity when trains started running
into each other, when everybody thought noon was exactly the
same time.
Speaker 12 (07:44):
So well, you know, I guess things could happen. H
speaking of things that happened, Yeah, nice segue, right, speaking
of things that happened. How about that AWS crash? It
(08:09):
we we learned something that I have known for decades.
But now now a lot of people are starting to
scream about well, a lot of people are just screaming.
They don't really know why they're screaming. Well, all they
know is unless my internet, or I couldn't do this
or I couldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You know.
Speaker 12 (08:32):
It's it's not so much a problem that so many
people utilize AWS. The problem is is that AWS doesn't
have a switch they can throw to reroute traffic and
have redundancy to keep shit like that from shutting down
(08:54):
half the country. Now, depending on where you work, I
don't know, Rick, I don't know what apps you use
at home or what websites you use at home doing
production and post production and editing and all that stuff.
But I would guess you probably had some issues during
(09:14):
the crash.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, we're still kind of having them now. I think
restream uses some of the AWUS backbone, because like right now,
the chat is showing up on our screens because I
haven't set up to do that. But I can't see
it in the panel anymore. There's just a little spinny
wheel where it used to be and right as we
were transitioning over, I lost everything fro about forty five seconds.
Speaker 12 (09:33):
It was just there you go.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Restream has drinky today, which for it says something.
Speaker 12 (09:38):
So there are still little things that are being worked out.
They they did get the bulk of everything back up.
Where where I work, we use a for the UH
for the hourly based employees, they actually have to clock
in and clock out. Are clocking system relies on AWS
(10:02):
they were unable to do so. It worked today, but
after watching the first couple of guys come in and
try to hit the clock and it took two and
a half minutes for it to cycle through and finally
tell them I got you. I just told everybody to
forget about it and I'll put it in manually. So yeah,
(10:25):
you know, technically it's working, but it's not really functional.
There's still a lot of that going on. Delta Airlines
went down, United Airlines went down. Luckily it wasn't a
total failure, but it hurt nonetheless. Walmart, Amazon's own website
(10:51):
was a catastrophe for probably the better part of six
to eight hours yesterday. It just our day before whatever
the whatever day. I don't forget what day. It it's
Wednesday to day. I don't know anything else, so please
don't ask. Yeah, so yeah, Like I said, the problem
(11:15):
is not that they they have so much routed through them.
The problem is is they don't have a way to
reroute everything. When something goes capout in one section of
you know, we'll just, for lack of a better term,
the farm, they don't know how to They don't know
how to change the cattle to a different field if
(11:38):
something happens to the field. And uh, that was painfully
evident by the fortune five hundred companies that suffered through
that outage. Luckily, luckily, my Amazon shipments that I was
(12:01):
expecting arrived just one day late. I know people have
gotten notifications saying there's could be two or three more days,
and you know, they have a backlog to work through
because they couldn't move anything. Their systems didn't work. They
didn't have a way to scan it and you know,
(12:23):
process it and then have it picked up because FedEx
and ups couldn't scan it and process it because their
system was down. To see where I'm going, this is
a friggin nightmare. Point of sale systems in grocery stores
and restaurants not working. How do we serve if we
(12:44):
don't know if we're reordering or not. I don't. All
kinds of nightmares, all kinds of nightmares, and all because
they don't have the proper redundancy in place, not that
they have too much. This is you know, Pocahontas is
on the war path. Now, why do they get to
(13:06):
control one third of all the web traffic? Blah blah
blah blah. Well they don't get to people elected to
use their service. Amazon did not hold a gun to
anybody's head and say you must. But yeah, now she
(13:28):
wants to break up Amazon. It just unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.
This man started this crap.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
This would be like.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
Going to Microsoft and saying, okay, Microsoft, Word has to
be its own company, Excel has to be its own company,
PowerPoint has to be its own company, you know, and
so on and so forth. And we're breaking you off
into these you know, we'll call it the baby bells.
You can be like my bell, you know, back in
the old days. Rich Rich a little younger, he he,
(14:06):
he remembers it, but he doesn't remember it like I do.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
No, I remember, and it was a pain in the ass.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
I mean, it got all broken up, and then we
had Southern Bell, and then we had Eastern Bell, and
then there was Northern Bell and Northeastern Bell, and everybody
had a bell.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Bell.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You gna bell, you gna bellexactly exactly the original original
of the oprah idea.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
I mean yeah, and it was the original breakup of
a monopoly and it it actually it took a while,
but it worked itself out. The reason it took a
while is because there's piss poor planning on the part
of the government, idiots that are always so anxious to
(15:01):
break up companies. They don't have a plan for it.
They just know they want to broke up. And it's
not our problem, that's their problem. Let them figure it out.
We're breaking you up. Well, you know, you you can't
just do that. That's that's people's livelihoods, that's that's people's investments,
(15:21):
that's people's jobs. You know, you just you can't break
something up just because it's big.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And well, I mean, you know, should should the federal
government treat businesses any different than they treat families. I'm
just saying they've been trying to break them up since
the sixties I.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
Mean, I get it, I get it, but you know it.
Uh yeah, it was an ugly day. It affected a
lot of people. I got my table saw yesterday. Yay.
(16:05):
It is put together. Yay. It is in the garage
next to my miner saw, which is a dual bevel
in case anybody's wondering, and which is so convenient when
you are cutting what's literally going to end up being
(16:28):
somewhere in the neighborhood twenty ford to twenty six hundred
feet of trim and casings and baseboard, and maybe even
more than that by the time it's all done. But yeah,
dual bebbling, very nice. I highly recommend it if you
(16:50):
have the means, and if not, I am for hire.
Well I will be after I'm done with my project.
But anyway, the table saw came and now now I
can do the annoying business of what you call building
(17:12):
door jam extensions. I don't know if you've ever done
that before. That's like when you pull your your door
casings off and maybe the wall sticks out about a
half inch past the door jam. You have to build
the jam out, so you have to rip these long,
(17:34):
skinny pieces of wood to fit over the existing jam
to bring it out to level with the wall, and
then you can put your casing back on and it looks,
you know, like somebody that knew what they were doing
worked on your house. Little cock little paint. No one
(17:54):
ever knows the difference. I know because I'm doing it
so there and I don't have I don't have the
fancy eighty five dollars knee pads that have the ankle
supports built in down the shin, so I'm actually when
(18:16):
I'm doing baseboards, I'm just laying on the floor and
I am using a flashlight and a I have a
very nice mechanical carpenter's pencil that is twelve millimeters thick.
It runs a two and a half millimeter strip of lead,
so I know that the point of the lead is
(18:38):
right at six millimeters off the ground, and I use
the shirt clip on it to steady it, and I
scribe for a level across the bottom of the baseboards
because I have a floating wood floor, and then I
have to take it out and cut that with a
jigsaw and then send it down to smooth perfect and
(19:03):
then put it in and hit it with a nail
gun and move on to the next it's fun it
I've forgotten how much I actually enjoyed doing this kind
of work. If if I just had knees, i'd quit
my job right now and start doing this. But I
(19:25):
don't have knees. They're garbage and that's a whole nother story.
So anyway, enjoying my toys. My tool belt came in.
I have to settle on a pouch to keep my
stuff organized because the first weekend I took off like
a Thursday Friday to do this in conjunction with the weekend,
(19:49):
and I probably spent four to five hours out of
my two days just running back and forth picking up
tools that I needed that I set down somewhere else,
and it drove me crazy. It killed my knees. So
tool belt in hand, pouch selection coming. I am going
(20:09):
to start looking and acting like a pro. But yeah,
I do. I enjoy doing this. It can be frustrating
at times, but then when you step back and look
at the finished product and you think I did that,
and you bring people in and they went you did that,
and I look at them and I say, I did that.
(20:31):
Can you do my house? Yes? I can, as soon
as I'm done here. It ain't free, though, that's the thing.
Everybody wants it for a free because oh but I'm
your friend. Yeah no, that's not how it works. It's
not how any of this works. Ah, speaking of not
(20:57):
how things work anyway out that we're back to the show.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's not how.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Any of this works. Stupid ass. I mean, seriously, you know,
he want he wants me to come to his house.
I'm like, yeah, okay, do you want me to do
the demo? Or are you gonna do the demo? What's
you know? How's this going to work?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
You know?
Speaker 12 (21:21):
I mean I'll quote your price. Are you buying the supplies?
Am I buying the supplies? How's this going to work?
You know, let's talk it ain't it ain't free. But
I can pack both My saws are portable. I can
pack them up in the truck. I can come over.
The saw horses are portable. They fold up. I got
the very very nice and again I highly recommend it
(21:46):
if you have the means. The bora speed saw sawhorses.
The legs fold into the crossbeam, the beam section of
the sawhorse. You just hit a button and then they
fly right back out and they are erect and ready
to go. It is magical. Got got some clamps. I mean,
(22:13):
I'm I'm I'm starting to starting to I'm almost to
the point where I need to build a workshop. Holy crap.
Who who would have ever thought that? Not me, that's
for sure. But I but I enjoy it. I do,
I really enjoy it. I still hate painting, hate it
(22:34):
with a passion. But anyway, Uh, back to how things
don't work. The No Kings, the No Kings flop. Uh,
they they're they're trying to push the narrative that they
had seven million people show up, wouldn't even have Yeah, yeah,
(23:00):
I'm thinking the numbers are probably closer to somewhere between
two to three. Yeah. If you if you look at
the major metros, uh and and look at their turnout,
you can kind of you can kind of base a
number off of that. And uh yeah, but between I
(23:21):
think I saw between New York and l A. They
had roughly a quarter million in those two cities between them.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (23:35):
Yeah, I mean, it just it, you know, and once
you get out of there, it starts petering down pretty quickly.
You still have some major metros, but you know, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It just.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Boston, So let's let them have their seven million people.
Though there are currently three hundred and forty one million
people in the United States, which means even if they're
numbered less than two percent of the pop well, a
little over two percent of the population would have come
out to protest. With what we know now, which is
closer to three million, it was less than one percent. Yeah,
so either way, this isn't This isn't the wind that
(24:21):
you think it is, especially when it's costing George Soros
seven eight nine ten million dollars a weekend, right, right,
and it's no money now in USA.
Speaker 12 (24:31):
So it's the same professional retard protesters that are out there.
Obviously they don't have jobs. Even though this was on
a was it weekend? It was a weekend, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, this was a weekend. But yeah, but that's.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
Those that have jobs that are in the protest. That's
usually when they would be working anyway. So yeah, not
that there's anything wrong with working on a weekend. But
you know, I've done it before, sh I was. I
was on a rotating shift, two days on, three days off,
(25:08):
three days on, two days off, twelve hours a day. Yeah,
that sucks. And then at the end of the month
you flip from nights to days and keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh yeah, I did that. I did that when I
worked for Southwest that we had a big news schedules,
like every thirty days. When I first started, it was terrible.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
Yeah, medic schedule horrible, horrible, horrible. That was Uh why
when they offered a pair of rescue I said, yes,
please anything, give me this boy? Did I and had
(25:51):
I did not know what I was getting into then,
but uh, you know, that's another story. We've been through
that before. It was fun, it didn't last long, and
that's what started the problems with my knees, certainly, and
all the way back to the beginning of the show.
But yeah, no Kings a complete flop. Millions upon millions
(26:15):
upon millions upon millions invested. And what I want to
know is what king is it they think they're protesting
that would allow them to protest against that king.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I mean, we haven't had a king since seventeen seventy six,
so I'm not sure.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
I would even venture to say seventeen seventy five. I
would say April nineteenth, seventeen seventy five, was the last
time a British opinion of America and or Americans mattered. Now, technically, yes,
we were not a country at that point, but that's
(27:04):
when we stuck our middle finger in the air and
said we're not having this shit.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
No good point on.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Cord Baby, Lexington Concord. And I think, when I build
my barbecue shed, I'm gonna I'm gonna do one where
the door is on struts and it lifts up and
makes shade over me while I'm cooking. And I think,
(27:33):
on the on the big door, I'm gonna do like
a skull wearing a tricorn with crossed muskets behind it
and have April nineteen, seventeen seventy five painted.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So yeah, we're getting some updates from the chat. Apparently
it was seven million worldwide.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
So worldwide.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, we'll see. Makes it even worse.
Speaker 12 (28:02):
I mean, that really makes it work. I wonder, can
somebody in chat, because I can't abandon my notes and
go do the search, can somebody in chat possibly find
out how many there were in the UK where they
literally have a king. Oh my god, these people are
(28:29):
so stupid. Ah, around the world, seven million around the world. Hey,
you know what it's the same for the UK, as
it is for Canada, as it is for France, as
it is for Germany, as it is for Greece, as
(28:51):
it is for anybody else. I don't give a shit
about your opinion of us. Nobody cares you think where this,
you think where that? We don't think of you at all.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, Ace isn't finding anything as far as any credible
reports regarding UK or Canada with their no tyrants protests.
So I'm still looking.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
No tyrants, Terrence.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (29:37):
This bloke over head seems like he's protesting nicely. We'll
let him go. Oh this one made a goat noise.
He must go to jail anyway, all right, bottom of
the hour. We got to take a break. When we
come back, we're going to we're going to talk about
(30:03):
the Supreme Court justice who is so mentally incapacitated that
velcrow shoes may be too much of an ask. So
you got four minutes. Stretch your legs, refill your drinks,
let your ask get its feeling back in it. But
get back in your seat and be ready. I'll be
here for you.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That that doesn't help, there's a few that that definition
might fit for But I'll let you explain when you
come back.
Speaker 11 (30:27):
Yes we will.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
We will talk about it. What you do, I've a hel.

Speaker 7 (33:45):
The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener
and discretion is advised.
Speaker 12 (34:05):
All right, welcome back. So when I left you some
four minutes ago, or you left me, I'm not sure
how that works. When we were separated four minutes ago,
before we were brought back together, I told you that
we were going to talk about a Supreme Court justice
(34:27):
who I didn't think bel crow Shoes was simple enough for.
That would be Justice Katanji Brown Jackson and her comparison
of black American voters in the state of Louisiana to
being disabled. She in in the argument, Well, in the
(34:54):
oral arguments, I'm assuming a she says, so, going back
to this discriminatory intent point. I guess I'm thinking of
it of the fact that remedial action absent discriminatory intent
(35:16):
is really not a new idea in the civil rights laws.
And my kind of paradigmatic example of this is something
like the Ada Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act
against the backdrop of a world that was generally not
(35:38):
accessible to people with disabilities, and so it was discriminatory
in effect because these folks were not able to access
these buildings, and it didn't matter whether the person who
built the building or the person who owned the building
intended for them to be exclusionary, that's irrelevant. Congress said,
(36:02):
the facilities have to be made equally open to people
with disabilities, if readily possible. I don't guess I understand
why that's not what's happening here. The idea in section
two is that we are responding to current day manifestations
of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make
(36:26):
it so they don't have the equal access to the
voting system. Right they're disabled, she said. In fact, we
use the word disabled in Alan v. Milligan. We say
that's a way in which you see that these processes
are not equally open. So let's dive into this. You know,
(36:56):
everybody's had time now if they saw this story, and
I assume they did, I hope they did, you get
past the shock value of a black American woman treating
Black Americans as disabled and then think about the analogy. So,
(37:25):
first of all, everything that she said, and I don't
know why nobody has broken this part down yet, is
this is the part that bothered me from the instant
I saw this. Everything in her opinion is they they
(37:53):
don't have equal access, they are disabled, they are being
discriminated against. They this they that she is removing herself
from being a Black American. So why does she feel
(38:19):
that people in Louisiana, which have they basically have the
same access that everybody else has here in this state,
in their neighboring state of Mississippi, in their other neighboring
state of Texas and Arkansas and Missouri.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
They have.
Speaker 12 (38:46):
Access to the polls. They can go to the polls
and they can vote, and they can go to the
DMV and get a driver's license, or they can go
to the DMV or other state offices and get a
state issued ID. There's absolutely nothing discriminatory about the access
(39:11):
they have. Now, if you want to talk about discrimination,
how about jerry mandering state lines so egregiously that they curl, bend,
(39:37):
and extend like a writhing snake across the state to
create a district that is majority black. How is that
not just as discriminatory as what she's arguing against. They
(40:00):
did it in this state too. They did it in
my state of Alabama. If you look at the congressional
districts in Alabama, the House seats, look at districts one
and two. It's a freaking abomination, and it's purely discriminatory
(40:25):
the other way. Now, what does that mean little of
nothing to me. The district I'm in is red, and
it's going to stay red. It'll never be blue in
(40:47):
my lifetime and after my lifetime. I mean, you know,
that's somebody else's problem. You know, what can I say,
Not that I'm uncaring, but acts or facts. Once I'm gone,
I can't do anything about it. But the fact that
(41:07):
this woman sits on the Supreme Court and her analogy,
her paradigm is comparing black voters to handicapped citizens. This
(41:28):
woman sits on the highest court in our land. She's
one of the youngest members on this court. She is
going to be there for decades. There's a problem here,
and this is not the first time that she's made
a blithering idiot of herself. This is not a one off.
(41:59):
But what do you do? What do you do? I've
never heard of a Supreme Court justice being impeached over
being stupid. I'm not sure you can make that case stick.
(42:21):
So you know, where does it go? Question? Does Congress
have the power to order states to draw race based
house districts In the first place, the Constitution says nothing
(42:44):
explicit on the topic. There are two arguable arguable sources
for such power. One is the Elections Clause, Article one,
section four, which allows Congress to quote make or alter
date regulations of the times, places, and manner of holding
(43:04):
elections for senators and representatives. Congress can, for example, require
states to elect members of Congress by single member districts
of equal size, as it did in eighteen forty two.
After that rule lapsed in nineteen twenty nine, reinstated in
(43:25):
nineteen sixty seven, At times, it has imposed more detailed
regulations on the shapes of districts. The other is the
remedial power of Congress. The Congress shall have the power
to enforce this article by appropriate legislation in Section two
(43:45):
of the Fifteenth Amendment, a power supplementing its guarantee of
equal voting rights regardless of race, and modeled on Section
five of the Fourteenth Amendment, as the Court held in
City of Borne v. Flores nineteen ninety seven. However, the
remedial power in that case under the Fourteenth Amendment is
(44:07):
limited to remedies for violations of the Amendment itself. Thus,
Congress can't pass laws under the remedial power unless they
target something that violates the Amendment in the first place.
As applied to the fifteenth Amendment, Congress can't say that
(44:28):
this law is going to make it harder in some
general sense to deny black people the right to vote.
It has to say this law punishes or affixes an
actual denial of the right to vote, or prevents such
a denial in a specific and targeted way, what the
Court calls a congruence of proportionality test. Under that test,
(44:55):
there has to be some close tailoring between the remedy
and the problem. That's why the Court was debating whether
race based districts are limited to situations where there has
been in the past intentional discrimination against black voters. And
if so, how far in the past it can go
(45:18):
before the remedy becomes too attenuated from the problem. Excuse me,
I had to sneeze there for a second head to
mute the mic. So you know, that's the first thing
(45:39):
to consider. The second is whether Congress is limited in
its powers to order race based districts. The Constitution does
grant some powers that it elsewhere restricts. Under a line
of cases going back decades, the Court has treated racial
jerryman jerry manders as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's
(46:02):
guarantee of equal protection from race discrimination. As a result,
regardless of what power Congress cites as the source of
its authority in this area, it has to pass strict
scrutiny in showing that the use of race is necessary
to remedy prior discrimination. HM prior, how prior like one
(46:27):
hundred years prior? Are we are we allowing that scrutiny?
If if mister Jack's great great great grandpa was discriminated
against one hundred years ago, so okay, But that was
(46:49):
the reasoning the Court uh, the reasoning of the Court
when it found that race discrimination had gone on too
long in college admissions. It's similar to the argument in
Shelby County v. Holder, where it found that subjecting state
law making to Justice Department preapproval violates the federalist design
(47:10):
of the Constitution. Congress could use a device such as
preclearance to put a state's legislature into a sort of receivership,
but it can't do so permanently without regularly revisiting the
basis for doing so. Even reconstruction only continued for a
(47:32):
decade after states actually rebelled against the federal government. Whether
time is up for race based redistricting the question raised
by Justice Britt Kavanaugh in twenty twenty three, while upholding
such districts at the time and answering Kavanaugh's inquiry, which
could tip the Court from five to four in favor
(47:53):
in twenty twenty three to five to four against such
districts in twenty five twenty six, it's the whole that's
the whole reason that the Calai case is being re argued.
So yeah, I mean, how far do we go?
Speaker 3 (48:13):
You know?
Speaker 12 (48:14):
Do we have to keep redrawing lines because people choose
to move and go somewhere else. I mean, this seems
like it's self defeating.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
To me.
Speaker 12 (48:27):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
It just.
Speaker 12 (48:35):
Draw some damn lines based on population and have it
look like something that resembles normalcy, you know, like we have.
I believe we have seven seven house seats now in
(48:56):
this state, amazing seven up from just a decade ago.
Why can't this state just be drawn into seven population
centers that are as close to equal as possible and
there it is boom, You live in one, you vote
(49:16):
in one, and that's it. Let it be what it is.
I guess the Supreme courtal let us know. Somehow, I
get the feeling that Judge or Justice Katanji Brown Jackson
will step in another pile of canine feces again before
(49:42):
this thing is over with just les. We'll stay tuned
and keep an eye on it. I don't know when
they're expecting a decision. I don't know if arguments are
still ongoing. None of that was readily available at the time.
So anyway, you know, over innom other countries where we
(50:04):
don't really much care about their opinion of us, something
interesting did happen the other day in the country of Hungary.
Not Hungry Hungary. They're over there next to Poland. Their
(50:26):
prime minister, his name is Victor Orbon, says his government
will defy a European Union ruling and stick by its
controversial immigration controversial immigration laws. Last month, the EU's top
court ruled that Hungary's law criminalizing lawyers and activists who
(50:49):
help asylum seekers was a breach of European law. A
long running row over Hungary's migrant rules means it could
miss out on billions of euros in EU cash, but
mister Orbon said Hungary had no plans to change the laws,
(51:12):
dubbed the Stop Soros Law after the billionaire philanthropists the
government accuses of supporting Muslim migrants. The twenty eighteen bill
outlaws people and organizations from helping migrants apply for asylum.
It also prevents people from applying for asylum if they
(51:32):
are if they arrived from a country where their life
was not at risk. In November, the EU's Court of
Justice said that by passing the law, mister Orbon's nationalist
government had failed to fulfill its obligations under EU law.
But at the end of at his end of year
(51:54):
news conference on Tuesday, mister Orbon said that the EU
rules were obsolete in the face of massive migration since
twenty fifteen. He said, the reality is that we have
to stop the migrants at the borders. This can be
solved by one thing, changing the European asylum rules. But
(52:16):
this process has not even started yet. The right wing
prime minister, yes, I enjoy him being called right wing.
I like that. I like him for the most Partny
he does some things I don't like, but you know whatever.
The right wing prime minister also accused the EU of
the most brutal sabotage by withholding pandemic funds. Top EU
(52:43):
officials have said Hungary, along with Poland, is unlikely to
see a first installment of pandemic cash this year unless
it commits to reforms to bolster democratic values and to
free judiciary. But mister Orban said the EU was withholding
the funds to try to unseat him. The whole process,
(53:04):
from the point of view, from the unity of the
future of Europe, is the most brutal sabotage. This is
what shatters the EU, Orbun said. And he also stood
fast and said that if they wanted to eject Hungary
over immigration, that he was all for it and he
would not budge. I like this guy. I like this
(53:28):
guy a lot. He gets the big picture. He absolutely
gets the big picture, and I like it. He has
seen the spikes of crime. He cited the statistics all
over Europe, Sweden, UK, France, Germany, all these countries taken
in these thousands upon thousands upon thousands of Muslim migrants
(53:52):
and watching their crime spike, and their citizens are being
murdered and raped and robbed and be and the judges
are letting it go because oh well they don't understand
our law.
Speaker 1 (54:06):
No.
Speaker 12 (54:12):
I mean, if it weren't for the fact that I
know that the pendulum will swing. I mean, you know,
Poland and Hungary not bad places to go and retire.
Ah industrialized nations, modern health care, cost of living is
very reasonable. You know, learn a language, travel abroad, except
(54:41):
that it puts you closer to you know the problem. Anyway,
it is time. It is time for geez guaranteed happy.
Speaker 1 (54:55):
Ending giggity giggy giggley goo.
Speaker 12 (55:00):
Yes, yes, indeed, all right. So this week the nonprofit
organization Veterans Community Project broke ground on its sixth tiny
home village, this time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to offer more
(55:21):
military veterans a fresh start with housing and individualized care.
Each two hundred and forty square foot home is part
of a larger community designed to help residents regain stability
and independence. And I encourage each of you to go
online look on their website Veterans Community Project and look
(55:48):
at the photos of this. They actually create a little
village of these tiny houses. It's really something special. Since
its founding in twenty eighteen, when they welcomed their first
residence in Kansas City, VCP has helped hundreds of vets
(56:09):
transition out of homelessness. This is fantastic. They have set
a new standard for how cities can address veteran homelessness
with its eighty five percent success rate for vets who
complete the program and transition to sustainable permanent housing, all
in an average of three hundred and thirty five days.
(56:35):
So far in twenty twenty five, twenty nine veterans have
graduated from a VCP tiny home into their own permanent housing,
and dozens of vets have been welcomed into the six
tiny home communities and are now working with on site
case managers for comprehensive assistance. The six villages are located
(56:56):
in Glendale, Arizona, Kansas City, Missouri, Longmont, Colorado, Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, Saint Louis, Missouri, and now Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which
when completed, will bring a total of two hundred and
forty of these homes. Co founder Brian Meyer, a combat
(57:19):
marine veteran, attended the groundbreaking last Friday. He said, today
is the start of generational change once these homes are built.
I hope each of you are able to drive by
with a sense of pride and ownership in the years ahead,
because you are telling veterans that Milwaukee refuses to let
them go through it alone. Throughout the day, community members
(57:43):
toured the two hundred forty square foot model home to
get a glimpse of what the vets will experience when
they move into one of the forty tiny houses there.
The homes will all be built on foundations connected to city.
Utilities include a full kitchen, bath, and living area. Some
of the unique features are designed that use PTSD and
(58:06):
FORM principles that promote healing. The rooms are arranged in
a barrack style layout that feels familiar and safe to
the veterans Already a village center will be built where
residents will work with their on site VCP case manager
to address underlying housing barriers and work towards individual goals
(58:28):
that can really get them back on their feet. In
his closing remarks at the groundbreaking Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said,
these tiny homes are more than a roof overhead and
a safe place to sleep at night. They are a
foundation that will help restore dignity, stability, and community for
those who have sacrificed so much for all of us.
(58:50):
I have no doubt that our veterans will be in
good hands. I don't agree with a lot of Tony Evers,
but I do agree with this. Army combat veteran Dave
Myers couldn't agree more. He had never heard of VCP
when his life was spinning out of control three years ago,
addicted to drugs after returning home from war. He now
(59:13):
smiles recalling a judge's words ordering him to become a
volunteer after he got clean in prison. He told me,
you're going to spend so much time with these guys
that they're either going to love you or hate you.
I hope it's the former, and that they offer you
a job. After a year later, that was indeed the case.
Dave is now a full time operations employee at VCP
(59:36):
and is fulfilling his dream to help other veterans. I
was able to connect with our residents in some ways
that not a lot of other people can. I've been
in their shoes, and this place saved my life, he
said proudly. Funding for the eleven point seven million dollar
Milwaukee Village includes two and a half million in contributions
(59:57):
from the state of Wisconsin, as well as funding from
regional partners including the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, and that

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm proud of him and that even though he isn't
here with us, but he died as a true hero.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I much everything about him, and the moment that the
officers and I had to come see the children, my
biggest reaction was, I don't have seven arms. I have
seven children who just lost their father, and I don't
have seven arms to wrap around them.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I'm Frank Cla, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation. Our foundation is committed to delivering mortgage free
homes for gold Star families and fall and first respond

Speaker 6 (02:29):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind. The thought of what in the world will
I possibly do to pay the bills? How will I
possibly let the children have a life that feels normal.
I don't want them to have to quit.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Their piano lessons or their basketball.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
I don't want them to feel that we have to
move into a little apartment and struggle financially. In addition
to the emotional weight.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
There are over one thousand families that need our help.
Punel to Talis is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with mortgage free homes.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's
(03:21):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven.

Good evening.
Speaker 12 (05:26):
I hope you are holdover from Inquiry with Stephen and
Elf Fellas did a great job. If you're not holdover,
you should be. You need to be tuned into the
hour before me, just like you need to be tuned
into the hours following me every Wednesday on kl RN Radio.
(05:48):
We're streaming it live on x It's kind of what
we do. You know, we got the chat room cooking,
all the cool kids are here, and uh, you know,
we got the busiest man in show business behind the
behind the screen, pushing all the buttons, probably trying to
(06:08):
woolf down some dinner. Probably doesn't want me bothering him
right now, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
N early Now that I now that I work from home,
I always make sure I eat by like five.
Speaker 12 (06:18):
Five thirty now, So look at you, So what's what's
our what's our programming later tonight look like?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So after us, we have our friends over behind them
emy lines. As you know, we're getting pretty close to
election day in New York City and it's looking kind
of dangerous about you know, them potentially electing a comedy
So I'm sure that I'll be talking about they'll be
talking about that tonight, since Jean still lives right in
the heart of the People's Republic of New York. And
(06:45):
and then after that we'll come back over here for
the Rickularity Show. Then we'll be finishing off the night
with a double shot at the edge of Liberty Sean
will be live first, and then we'll be rerunning the
show that I didn't run for him on Monday because
I was sick. Uh, And there is no busies the
Bobcats on Oland to night, so we'll get a double
shot of the edge of Liberty on the way out
the door.
Speaker 12 (07:05):
There you go. I told you he's the hardest worry
man in show business. He'll be up till about one o'clock.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
This morning, uh, counting follow ups, edits and getting stuff
ready for tomorrow, probably about one thirty two o'clock in
my time, and then i'll be six starting over.
Speaker 12 (07:20):
Your time is my time? By the way, we're on
God's time.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, well I'm not used to that. Everybody else everybody
else either lives in the future of the past. I
live in you do tube.
Speaker 12 (07:31):
Yeah, we're we're in that limbo land. So it's okay.
Time zones are stupid, Well they can.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
They kind of became a necessity when trains started running
into each other, when everybody thought noon was exactly the
same time.
Speaker 12 (07:44):
So well, you know, I guess things could happen. H
speaking of things that happened, Yeah, nice segue, right, speaking
of things that happened. How about that AWS crash? It
(08:09):
we we learned something that I have known for decades.
But now now a lot of people are starting to
scream about well, a lot of people are just screaming.
They don't really know why they're screaming. Well, all they
know is unless my internet, or I couldn't do this
or I couldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You know.
Speaker 12 (08:32):
It's it's not so much a problem that so many
people utilize AWS. The problem is is that AWS doesn't
have a switch they can throw to reroute traffic and
have redundancy to keep shit like that from shutting down
(08:54):
half the country. Now, depending on where you work, I
don't know, Rick, I don't know what apps you use
at home or what websites you use at home doing
production and post production and editing and all that stuff.
But I would guess you probably had some issues during
(09:14):
the crash.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, we're still kind of having them now. I think
restream uses some of the AWUS backbone, because like right now,
the chat is showing up on our screens because I
haven't set up to do that. But I can't see
it in the panel anymore. There's just a little spinny
wheel where it used to be and right as we
were transitioning over, I lost everything fro about forty five seconds.
Speaker 12 (09:33):
It was just there you go.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Restream has drinky today, which for it says something.
Speaker 12 (09:38):
So there are still little things that are being worked out.
They they did get the bulk of everything back up.
Where where I work, we use a for the UH
for the hourly based employees, they actually have to clock
in and clock out. Are clocking system relies on AWS
(10:02):
they were unable to do so. It worked today, but
after watching the first couple of guys come in and
try to hit the clock and it took two and
a half minutes for it to cycle through and finally
tell them I got you. I just told everybody to
forget about it and I'll put it in manually. So yeah,
(10:25):
you know, technically it's working, but it's not really functional.
There's still a lot of that going on. Delta Airlines
went down, United Airlines went down. Luckily it wasn't a
total failure, but it hurt nonetheless. Walmart, Amazon's own website
(10:51):
was a catastrophe for probably the better part of six
to eight hours yesterday. It just our day before whatever
the whatever day. I don't forget what day. It it's
Wednesday to day. I don't know anything else, so please
don't ask. Yeah, so yeah, Like I said, the problem
(11:15):
is not that they they have so much routed through them.
The problem is is they don't have a way to
reroute everything. When something goes capout in one section of
you know, we'll just, for lack of a better term,
the farm, they don't know how to They don't know
how to change the cattle to a different field if
(11:38):
something happens to the field. And uh, that was painfully
evident by the fortune five hundred companies that suffered through
that outage. Luckily, luckily, my Amazon shipments that I was
(12:01):
expecting arrived just one day late. I know people have
gotten notifications saying there's could be two or three more days,
and you know, they have a backlog to work through
because they couldn't move anything. Their systems didn't work. They
didn't have a way to scan it and you know,
(12:23):
process it and then have it picked up because FedEx
and ups couldn't scan it and process it because their
system was down. To see where I'm going, this is
a friggin nightmare. Point of sale systems in grocery stores
and restaurants not working. How do we serve if we
(12:44):
don't know if we're reordering or not. I don't. All
kinds of nightmares, all kinds of nightmares, and all because
they don't have the proper redundancy in place, not that
they have too much. This is you know, Pocahontas is
on the war path. Now, why do they get to
(13:06):
control one third of all the web traffic? Blah blah
blah blah. Well they don't get to people elected to
use their service. Amazon did not hold a gun to
anybody's head and say you must. But yeah, now she
(13:28):
wants to break up Amazon. It just unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.
This man started this crap.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
This would be like.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
Going to Microsoft and saying, okay, Microsoft, Word has to
be its own company, Excel has to be its own company,
PowerPoint has to be its own company, you know, and
so on and so forth. And we're breaking you off
into these you know, we'll call it the baby bells.
You can be like my bell, you know, back in
the old days. Rich Rich a little younger, he he,
(14:06):
he remembers it, but he doesn't remember it like I do.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
No, I remember, and it was a pain in the ass.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
I mean, it got all broken up, and then we
had Southern Bell, and then we had Eastern Bell, and
then there was Northern Bell and Northeastern Bell, and everybody
had a bell.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Bell.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You gna bell, you gna bellexactly exactly the original original
of the oprah idea.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
I mean yeah, and it was the original breakup of
a monopoly and it it actually it took a while,
but it worked itself out. The reason it took a
while is because there's piss poor planning on the part
of the government, idiots that are always so anxious to
(15:01):
break up companies. They don't have a plan for it.
They just know they want to broke up. And it's
not our problem, that's their problem. Let them figure it out.
We're breaking you up. Well, you know, you you can't
just do that. That's that's people's livelihoods, that's that's people's investments,
(15:21):
that's people's jobs. You know, you just you can't break
something up just because it's big.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And well, I mean, you know, should should the federal
government treat businesses any different than they treat families. I'm
just saying they've been trying to break them up since
the sixties I.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
Mean, I get it, I get it, but you know it.
Uh yeah, it was an ugly day. It affected a
lot of people. I got my table saw yesterday. Yay.
(16:05):
It is put together. Yay. It is in the garage
next to my miner saw, which is a dual bevel
in case anybody's wondering, and which is so convenient when
you are cutting what's literally going to end up being
(16:28):
somewhere in the neighborhood twenty ford to twenty six hundred
feet of trim and casings and baseboard, and maybe even
more than that by the time it's all done. But yeah,
dual bebbling, very nice. I highly recommend it if you
(16:50):
have the means, and if not, I am for hire.
Well I will be after I'm done with my project.
But anyway, the table saw came and now now I
can do the annoying business of what you call building
(17:12):
door jam extensions. I don't know if you've ever done
that before. That's like when you pull your your door
casings off and maybe the wall sticks out about a
half inch past the door jam. You have to build
the jam out, so you have to rip these long,
(17:34):
skinny pieces of wood to fit over the existing jam
to bring it out to level with the wall, and
then you can put your casing back on and it looks,
you know, like somebody that knew what they were doing
worked on your house. Little cock little paint. No one
(17:54):
ever knows the difference. I know because I'm doing it
so there and I don't have I don't have the
fancy eighty five dollars knee pads that have the ankle
supports built in down the shin, so I'm actually when
(18:16):
I'm doing baseboards, I'm just laying on the floor and
I am using a flashlight and a I have a
very nice mechanical carpenter's pencil that is twelve millimeters thick.
It runs a two and a half millimeter strip of lead,
so I know that the point of the lead is
(18:38):
right at six millimeters off the ground, and I use
the shirt clip on it to steady it, and I
scribe for a level across the bottom of the baseboards
because I have a floating wood floor, and then I
have to take it out and cut that with a
jigsaw and then send it down to smooth perfect and
(19:03):
then put it in and hit it with a nail
gun and move on to the next it's fun it
I've forgotten how much I actually enjoyed doing this kind
of work. If if I just had knees, i'd quit
my job right now and start doing this. But I
(19:25):
don't have knees. They're garbage and that's a whole nother story.
So anyway, enjoying my toys. My tool belt came in.
I have to settle on a pouch to keep my
stuff organized because the first weekend I took off like
a Thursday Friday to do this in conjunction with the weekend,
(19:49):
and I probably spent four to five hours out of
my two days just running back and forth picking up
tools that I needed that I set down somewhere else,
and it drove me crazy. It killed my knees. So
tool belt in hand, pouch selection coming. I am going
(20:09):
to start looking and acting like a pro. But yeah,
I do. I enjoy doing this. It can be frustrating
at times, but then when you step back and look
at the finished product and you think I did that,
and you bring people in and they went you did that,
and I look at them and I say, I did that.
(20:31):
Can you do my house? Yes? I can, as soon
as I'm done here. It ain't free, though, that's the thing.
Everybody wants it for a free because oh but I'm
your friend. Yeah no, that's not how it works. It's
not how any of this works. Ah, speaking of not
(20:57):
how things work anyway out that we're back to the show.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's not how.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Any of this works. Stupid ass. I mean, seriously, you know,
he want he wants me to come to his house.
I'm like, yeah, okay, do you want me to do
the demo? Or are you gonna do the demo? What's
you know? How's this going to work?
Speaker 5 (21:20):
You know?
Speaker 12 (21:21):
I mean I'll quote your price. Are you buying the supplies?
Am I buying the supplies? How's this going to work?
You know, let's talk it ain't it ain't free. But
I can pack both My saws are portable. I can
pack them up in the truck. I can come over.
The saw horses are portable. They fold up. I got
the very very nice and again I highly recommend it
(21:46):
if you have the means. The bora speed saw sawhorses.
The legs fold into the crossbeam, the beam section of
the sawhorse. You just hit a button and then they
fly right back out and they are erect and ready
to go. It is magical. Got got some clamps. I mean,
(22:13):
I'm I'm I'm starting to starting to I'm almost to
the point where I need to build a workshop. Holy crap.
Who who would have ever thought that? Not me, that's
for sure. But I but I enjoy it. I do,
I really enjoy it. I still hate painting, hate it
(22:34):
with a passion. But anyway, Uh, back to how things
don't work. The No Kings, the No Kings flop. Uh,
they they're they're trying to push the narrative that they
had seven million people show up, wouldn't even have Yeah, yeah,
(23:00):
I'm thinking the numbers are probably closer to somewhere between
two to three. Yeah. If you if you look at
the major metros, uh and and look at their turnout,
you can kind of you can kind of base a
number off of that. And uh yeah, but between I
(23:21):
think I saw between New York and l A. They
had roughly a quarter million in those two cities between them.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (23:35):
Yeah, I mean, it just it, you know, and once
you get out of there, it starts petering down pretty quickly.
You still have some major metros, but you know, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It just.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Boston, So let's let them have their seven million people.
Though there are currently three hundred and forty one million
people in the United States, which means even if they're
numbered less than two percent of the pop well, a
little over two percent of the population would have come
out to protest. With what we know now, which is
closer to three million, it was less than one percent. Yeah,
so either way, this isn't This isn't the wind that
(24:21):
you think it is, especially when it's costing George Soros
seven eight nine ten million dollars a weekend, right, right,
and it's no money now in USA.
Speaker 12 (24:31):
So it's the same professional retard protesters that are out there.
Obviously they don't have jobs. Even though this was on
a was it weekend? It was a weekend, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, this was a weekend. But yeah, but that's.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
Those that have jobs that are in the protest. That's
usually when they would be working anyway. So yeah, not
that there's anything wrong with working on a weekend. But
you know, I've done it before, sh I was. I
was on a rotating shift, two days on, three days off,
(25:08):
three days on, two days off, twelve hours a day. Yeah,
that sucks. And then at the end of the month
you flip from nights to days and keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh yeah, I did that. I did that when I
worked for Southwest that we had a big news schedules,
like every thirty days. When I first started, it was terrible.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
Yeah, medic schedule horrible, horrible, horrible. That was Uh why
when they offered a pair of rescue I said, yes,
please anything, give me this boy? Did I and had
(25:51):
I did not know what I was getting into then,
but uh, you know, that's another story. We've been through
that before. It was fun, it didn't last long, and
that's what started the problems with my knees, certainly, and
all the way back to the beginning of the show.
But yeah, no Kings a complete flop. Millions upon millions
(26:15):
upon millions upon millions invested. And what I want to
know is what king is it they think they're protesting
that would allow them to protest against that king.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I mean, we haven't had a king since seventeen seventy six,
so I'm not sure.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
I would even venture to say seventeen seventy five. I
would say April nineteenth, seventeen seventy five, was the last
time a British opinion of America and or Americans mattered. Now, technically, yes,
we were not a country at that point, but that's
(27:04):
when we stuck our middle finger in the air and
said we're not having this shit.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
No good point on.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Cord Baby, Lexington Concord. And I think, when I build
my barbecue shed, I'm gonna I'm gonna do one where
the door is on struts and it lifts up and
makes shade over me while I'm cooking. And I think,
(27:33):
on the on the big door, I'm gonna do like
a skull wearing a tricorn with crossed muskets behind it
and have April nineteen, seventeen seventy five painted.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So yeah, we're getting some updates from the chat. Apparently
it was seven million worldwide.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
So worldwide.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, we'll see. Makes it even worse.
Speaker 12 (28:02):
I mean, that really makes it work. I wonder, can
somebody in chat, because I can't abandon my notes and
go do the search, can somebody in chat possibly find
out how many there were in the UK where they
literally have a king. Oh my god, these people are
(28:29):
so stupid. Ah, around the world, seven million around the world. Hey,
you know what it's the same for the UK, as
it is for Canada, as it is for France, as
it is for Germany, as it is for Greece, as
(28:51):
it is for anybody else. I don't give a shit
about your opinion of us. Nobody cares you think where this,
you think where that? We don't think of you at all.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, Ace isn't finding anything as far as any credible
reports regarding UK or Canada with their no tyrants protests.
So I'm still looking.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
No tyrants, Terrence.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (29:37):
This bloke over head seems like he's protesting nicely. We'll
let him go. Oh this one made a goat noise.
He must go to jail anyway, all right, bottom of
the hour. We got to take a break. When we
come back, we're going to we're going to talk about
(30:03):
the Supreme Court justice who is so mentally incapacitated that
velcrow shoes may be too much of an ask. So
you got four minutes. Stretch your legs, refill your drinks,
let your ask get its feeling back in it. But
get back in your seat and be ready. I'll be
here for you.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That that doesn't help, there's a few that that definition
might fit for But I'll let you explain when you
come back.
Speaker 11 (30:27):
Yes we will.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
We will talk about it. What you do, I've a hel.

The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener

Speaker 12 (34:05):
All right, welcome back. So when I left you some
four minutes ago, or you left me, I'm not sure
how that works. When we were separated four minutes ago,
before we were brought back together, I told you that
we were going to talk about a Supreme Court justice
(34:27):
who I didn't think bel crow Shoes was simple enough for.
That would be Justice Katanji Brown Jackson and her comparison
of black American voters in the state of Louisiana to
being disabled. She in in the argument, Well, in the
(34:54):
oral arguments, I'm assuming a she says, so, going back
to this discriminatory intent point. I guess I'm thinking of
it of the fact that remedial action absent discriminatory intent
(35:16):
is really not a new idea in the civil rights laws.
And my kind of paradigmatic example of this is something
like the Ada Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act
against the backdrop of a world that was generally not
(35:38):
accessible to people with disabilities, and so it was discriminatory
in effect because these folks were not able to access
these buildings, and it didn't matter whether the person who
built the building or the person who owned the building
intended for them to be exclusionary, that's irrelevant. Congress said,
(36:02):
the facilities have to be made equally open to people
with disabilities, if readily possible. I don't guess I understand
why that's not what's happening here. The idea in section
two is that we are responding to current day manifestations
of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make
(36:26):
it so they don't have the equal access to the
voting system. Right they're disabled, she said. In fact, we
use the word disabled in Alan v. Milligan. We say
that's a way in which you see that these processes
are not equally open. So let's dive into this. You know,
(36:56):
everybody's had time now if they saw this story, and
I assume they did, I hope they did, you get
past the shock value of a black American woman treating
Black Americans as disabled and then think about the analogy. So,
(37:25):
first of all, everything that she said, and I don't
know why nobody has broken this part down yet, is
this is the part that bothered me from the instant
I saw this. Everything in her opinion is they they
(37:53):
don't have equal access, they are disabled, they are being
discriminated against. They this they that she is removing herself
from being a Black American. So why does she feel
(38:19):
that people in Louisiana, which have they basically have the
same access that everybody else has here in this state,
in their neighboring state of Mississippi, in their other neighboring
state of Texas and Arkansas and Missouri.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
They have.
Speaker 12 (38:46):
Access to the polls. They can go to the polls
and they can vote, and they can go to the
DMV and get a driver's license, or they can go
to the DMV or other state offices and get a
state issued ID. There's absolutely nothing discriminatory about the access
(39:11):
they have. Now, if you want to talk about discrimination,
how about jerry mandering state lines so egregiously that they curl, bend,
(39:37):
and extend like a writhing snake across the state to
create a district that is majority black. How is that
not just as discriminatory as what she's arguing against. They
(40:00):
did it in this state too. They did it in
my state of Alabama. If you look at the congressional
districts in Alabama, the House seats, look at districts one
and two. It's a freaking abomination, and it's purely discriminatory
(40:25):
the other way. Now, what does that mean little of
nothing to me. The district I'm in is red, and
it's going to stay red. It'll never be blue in
(40:47):
my lifetime and after my lifetime. I mean, you know,
that's somebody else's problem. You know, what can I say,
Not that I'm uncaring, but acts or facts. Once I'm gone,
I can't do anything about it. But the fact that
(41:07):
this woman sits on the Supreme Court and her analogy,
her paradigm is comparing black voters to handicapped citizens. This
(41:28):
woman sits on the highest court in our land. She's
one of the youngest members on this court. She is
going to be there for decades. There's a problem here,
and this is not the first time that she's made
a blithering idiot of herself. This is not a one off.
(41:59):
But what do you do? What do you do? I've
never heard of a Supreme Court justice being impeached over
being stupid. I'm not sure you can make that case stick.
(42:21):
So you know, where does it go? Question? Does Congress
have the power to order states to draw race based
house districts In the first place, the Constitution says nothing
(42:44):
explicit on the topic. There are two arguable arguable sources
for such power. One is the Elections Clause, Article one,
section four, which allows Congress to quote make or alter
date regulations of the times, places, and manner of holding
(43:04):
elections for senators and representatives. Congress can, for example, require
states to elect members of Congress by single member districts
of equal size, as it did in eighteen forty two.
After that rule lapsed in nineteen twenty nine, reinstated in
(43:25):
nineteen sixty seven, At times, it has imposed more detailed
regulations on the shapes of districts. The other is the
remedial power of Congress. The Congress shall have the power
to enforce this article by appropriate legislation in Section two
(43:45):
of the Fifteenth Amendment, a power supplementing its guarantee of
equal voting rights regardless of race, and modeled on Section
five of the Fourteenth Amendment, as the Court held in
City of Borne v. Flores nineteen ninety seven. However, the
remedial power in that case under the Fourteenth Amendment is
(44:07):
limited to remedies for violations of the Amendment itself. Thus,
Congress can't pass laws under the remedial power unless they
target something that violates the Amendment in the first place.
As applied to the fifteenth Amendment, Congress can't say that
(44:28):
this law is going to make it harder in some
general sense to deny black people the right to vote.
It has to say this law punishes or affixes an
actual denial of the right to vote, or prevents such
a denial in a specific and targeted way, what the
Court calls a congruence of proportionality test. Under that test,
(44:55):
there has to be some close tailoring between the remedy
and the problem. That's why the Court was debating whether
race based districts are limited to situations where there has
been in the past intentional discrimination against black voters. And
if so, how far in the past it can go
(45:18):
before the remedy becomes too attenuated from the problem. Excuse me,
I had to sneeze there for a second head to
mute the mic. So you know, that's the first thing
(45:39):
to consider. The second is whether Congress is limited in
its powers to order race based districts. The Constitution does
grant some powers that it elsewhere restricts. Under a line
of cases going back decades, the Court has treated racial
jerryman jerry manders as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's
(46:02):
guarantee of equal protection from race discrimination. As a result,
regardless of what power Congress cites as the source of
its authority in this area, it has to pass strict
scrutiny in showing that the use of race is necessary
to remedy prior discrimination. HM prior, how prior like one
(46:27):
hundred years prior? Are we are we allowing that scrutiny?
If if mister Jack's great great great grandpa was discriminated
against one hundred years ago, so okay, But that was
(46:49):
the reasoning the Court uh, the reasoning of the Court
when it found that race discrimination had gone on too
long in college admissions. It's similar to the argument in
Shelby County v. Holder, where it found that subjecting state
law making to Justice Department preapproval violates the federalist design
(47:10):
of the Constitution. Congress could use a device such as
preclearance to put a state's legislature into a sort of receivership,
but it can't do so permanently without regularly revisiting the
basis for doing so. Even reconstruction only continued for a
(47:32):
decade after states actually rebelled against the federal government. Whether
time is up for race based redistricting the question raised
by Justice Britt Kavanaugh in twenty twenty three, while upholding
such districts at the time and answering Kavanaugh's inquiry, which
could tip the Court from five to four in favor
(47:53):
in twenty twenty three to five to four against such
districts in twenty five twenty six, it's the whole that's
the whole reason that the Calai case is being re argued.
So yeah, I mean, how far do we go?
Speaker 3 (48:13):
You know?
Speaker 12 (48:14):
Do we have to keep redrawing lines because people choose
to move and go somewhere else. I mean, this seems
like it's self defeating.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
To me.
Speaker 12 (48:27):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
It just.
Speaker 12 (48:35):
Draw some damn lines based on population and have it
look like something that resembles normalcy, you know, like we have.
I believe we have seven seven house seats now in
(48:56):
this state, amazing seven up from just a decade ago.
Why can't this state just be drawn into seven population
centers that are as close to equal as possible and
there it is boom, You live in one, you vote
(49:16):
in one, and that's it. Let it be what it is.
I guess the Supreme courtal let us know. Somehow, I
get the feeling that Judge or Justice Katanji Brown Jackson
will step in another pile of canine feces again before
(49:42):
this thing is over with just les. We'll stay tuned
and keep an eye on it. I don't know when
they're expecting a decision. I don't know if arguments are
still ongoing. None of that was readily available at the time.
So anyway, you know, over innom other countries where we
(50:04):
don't really much care about their opinion of us, something
interesting did happen the other day in the country of Hungary.
Not Hungry Hungary. They're over there next to Poland. Their
(50:26):
prime minister, his name is Victor Orbon, says his government
will defy a European Union ruling and stick by its
controversial immigration controversial immigration laws. Last month, the EU's top
court ruled that Hungary's law criminalizing lawyers and activists who
(50:49):
help asylum seekers was a breach of European law. A
long running row over Hungary's migrant rules means it could
miss out on billions of euros in EU cash, but
mister Orbon said Hungary had no plans to change the laws,
(51:12):
dubbed the Stop Soros Law after the billionaire philanthropists the
government accuses of supporting Muslim migrants. The twenty eighteen bill
outlaws people and organizations from helping migrants apply for asylum.
It also prevents people from applying for asylum if they
(51:32):
are if they arrived from a country where their life
was not at risk. In November, the EU's Court of
Justice said that by passing the law, mister Orbon's nationalist
government had failed to fulfill its obligations under EU law.
But at the end of at his end of year
(51:54):
news conference on Tuesday, mister Orbon said that the EU
rules were obsolete in the face of massive migration since
twenty fifteen. He said, the reality is that we have
to stop the migrants at the borders. This can be
solved by one thing, changing the European asylum rules. But
(52:16):
this process has not even started yet. The right wing
prime minister, yes, I enjoy him being called right wing.
I like that. I like him for the most Partny
he does some things I don't like, but you know whatever.
The right wing prime minister also accused the EU of
the most brutal sabotage by withholding pandemic funds. Top EU
(52:43):
officials have said Hungary, along with Poland, is unlikely to
see a first installment of pandemic cash this year unless
it commits to reforms to bolster democratic values and to
free judiciary. But mister Orban said the EU was withholding
the funds to try to unseat him. The whole process,
(53:04):
from the point of view, from the unity of the
future of Europe, is the most brutal sabotage. This is
what shatters the EU, Orbun said. And he also stood
fast and said that if they wanted to eject Hungary
over immigration, that he was all for it and he
would not budge. I like this guy. I like this
(53:28):
guy a lot. He gets the big picture. He absolutely
gets the big picture, and I like it. He has
seen the spikes of crime. He cited the statistics all
over Europe, Sweden, UK, France, Germany, all these countries taken
in these thousands upon thousands upon thousands of Muslim migrants
(53:52):
and watching their crime spike, and their citizens are being
murdered and raped and robbed and be and the judges
are letting it go because oh well they don't understand
our law.
Speaker 1 (54:06):
No.
Speaker 12 (54:12):
I mean, if it weren't for the fact that I
know that the pendulum will swing. I mean, you know,
Poland and Hungary not bad places to go and retire.
Ah industrialized nations, modern health care, cost of living is
very reasonable. You know, learn a language, travel abroad, except
(54:41):
that it puts you closer to you know the problem. Anyway,
it is time. It is time for geez guaranteed happy.
Speaker 1 (54:55):
Ending giggity giggy giggley goo.
Speaker 12 (55:00):
Yes, yes, indeed, all right. So this week the nonprofit
organization Veterans Community Project broke ground on its sixth tiny
home village, this time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to offer more
(55:21):
military veterans a fresh start with housing and individualized care.
Each two hundred and forty square foot home is part
of a larger community designed to help residents regain stability
and independence. And I encourage each of you to go
online look on their website Veterans Community Project and look
(55:48):
at the photos of this. They actually create a little
village of these tiny houses. It's really something special. Since
its founding in twenty eighteen, when they welcomed their first
residence in Kansas City, VCP has helped hundreds of vets
(56:09):
transition out of homelessness. This is fantastic. They have set
a new standard for how cities can address veteran homelessness
with its eighty five percent success rate for vets who
complete the program and transition to sustainable permanent housing, all
in an average of three hundred and thirty five days.
(56:35):
So far in twenty twenty five, twenty nine veterans have
graduated from a VCP tiny home into their own permanent housing,
and dozens of vets have been welcomed into the six
tiny home communities and are now working with on site
case managers for comprehensive assistance. The six villages are located
(56:56):
in Glendale, Arizona, Kansas City, Missouri, Longmont, Colorado, Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, Saint Louis, Missouri, and now Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which
when completed, will bring a total of two hundred and
forty of these homes. Co founder Brian Meyer, a combat
(57:19):
marine veteran, attended the groundbreaking last Friday. He said, today
is the start of generational change once these homes are built.
I hope each of you are able to drive by
with a sense of pride and ownership in the years ahead,
because you are telling veterans that Milwaukee refuses to let
them go through it alone. Throughout the day, community members
(57:43):
toured the two hundred forty square foot model home to
get a glimpse of what the vets will experience when
they move into one of the forty tiny houses there.
The homes will all be built on foundations connected to city.
Utilities include a full kitchen, bath, and living area. Some
of the unique features are designed that use PTSD and
(58:06):
FORM principles that promote healing. The rooms are arranged in
a barrack style layout that feels familiar and safe to
the veterans Already a village center will be built where
residents will work with their on site VCP case manager
to address underlying housing barriers and work towards individual goals
(58:28):
that can really get them back on their feet. In
his closing remarks at the groundbreaking Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said,
these tiny homes are more than a roof overhead and
a safe place to sleep at night. They are a
foundation that will help restore dignity, stability, and community for
those who have sacrificed so much for all of us.
(58:50):
I have no doubt that our veterans will be in
good hands. I don't agree with a lot of Tony Evers,
but I do agree with this. Army combat veteran Dave
Myers couldn't agree more. He had never heard of VCP
when his life was spinning out of control three years ago,
addicted to drugs after returning home from war. He now
(59:13):
smiles recalling a judge's words ordering him to become a
volunteer after he got clean in prison. He told me,
you're going to spend so much time with these guys
that they're either going to love you or hate you.
I hope it's the former, and that they offer you
a job. After a year later, that was indeed the case.
Dave is now a full time operations employee at VCP
(59:36):
and is fulfilling his dream to help other veterans. I
was able to connect with our residents in some ways
that not a lot of other people can. I've been
in their shoes, and this place saved my life, he
said proudly. Funding for the eleven point seven million dollar
Milwaukee Village includes two and a half million in contributions
(59:57):
from the state of Wisconsin, as well as funding from
regional partners including the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, and that
My Friends is a happy ending. If you like the show,
tell your friends. If your friends like it, you need
new ones. But they and you are welcome here with
me on k Lauren Radio, the only home of the
conservative Curmudgeon show. I'm your host, the Grouch Pete.
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
I hate.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
The work here, don't I been here years.
Speaker 11 (01:00:45):
Themselves.
Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
It's too hot.
