Frustration with Congress and the executive branch's transparency issues underscores the need for ethical reforms. Discussions emphasize the importance of virtuous leadership to ensure national stability and growth. The focus on election integrity and mail-in ballot security reflects broader worries about systemic issues undermining democratic processes. Recommendations include fostering accountability, promoting ethical behavior, and adopting governance models like a kitchen cabinet to address these challenges effectively. The call for reform is urgent, as failure to act could lead to further destabilization of the nation's political framework. /// The Scalpel is proud to partner with Brickhouse Nutrition.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, this is every producer of the Scalpel with Doctor
Keith Rose preparing to drop for another episode. Another part
of the conversation between Doctor Rose and former South Texas
Congressman Blake farenthaled on Blake's Morning Show. As quickly as
(00:21):
things develop in well within the subject matter of the
things that are discussed here on the Scalpel, sometimes we
present information and by the time it hits your ears,
something's changed. So it's just that things move fast and
we do our best to keep up. In the history
(00:44):
of the Scalpel, there have only been a couple of
products that we have had some kind of a I
call it a monetary arrangement where if you purchase their
products it helps us out here at the Scalpel. Just
the little bit say that all the time, what you
need to know, and if you haven't already figured it out,
(01:06):
we will never present a product to you or make
an arrangement with a company that we either are not
passionate about or and in most cases have direct personal
experience with. Brick House Nutrition is one of those we
talk about them in every episode. Doctor Rose uses Field
of Greens he has for years, and in a recent
(01:30):
episode of the Scalpel. Just probably a couple of weeks ago,
Doctor Rose introduced you to a new product called life
Wave peptide patches. I don't know a lot about them,
but he does. A friend of his introduced him to
life Wave patches. He started using them and found an
opportunity that made sense. Doctor Rose in the future is
(01:54):
going to tell you more about it and what these
patches do. They're intended to reduce pain and inflammation and
even aid in DNA repair. There are other benefits to
that you can learn all about. Purchase your lifewavepatches at
lifewave dot com slash Rose, MD. You'll find the link
(02:14):
in the show notes, and any purchase you make helps
us out here at the Scalpel.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Just a little bit all right, Here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The Scalpel with doctor Keith Rose, cutting down to the
truth through history and experience. Subscribe to the Scalpel wherever

(02:43):
starts now.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Good head line ice deportation linked to a massive sixty
percent drop in dinver homicides.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yep. That's what happens when you take the trendy.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Agua gang members and sent it back to Venezuela or
somewhere else. The reason that ICE deportations are lowering crime
is because ICE. The better articles title would be ice
deporting criminal illegal aliens, hence dropping crime. It's amazing how
(03:21):
you know Tom Homan is doing exactly what the president
wants and what they said they were going to do.
And then of course you have your former congressman screaming
or congressmen screaming.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Why are you deporting these these fathers? Oh, you mean
the ones that were killing people. I think that's it.
Then they're not here legally. I think they get deported. Yep.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's amazing how veterans have no empathy and no rights
in this nation, but someone that came across the border
illegally that's living off the system is the most valued
member of our society according to politicians.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I will tell you that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think on the Republican side, you've got some respect
for veterans, but I think we've got a homeless vet
problem that is not being adequately addressed. The veterans are
a whole lot better off under Trump than they were
under Obama and in Biden. So I do think that
(04:28):
is a win, but I think we have a long
way to go for a feeling and keeping the promises
made to a good many veterans that.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Have a long time they've just never done anything for him,
and that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
When I was there, I had.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
A bi weekly call with the head of the VA
medical system down here and we tried to get things done.
But the homely situation with veterans I think needs to
be targeted.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But I digress.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Also, on the immigration front, four hundred illegal aliens were arrested,
five hundred deported in week long ice rays in Houston.
I mean, this is in our backyard.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Houston's a blue city and I'm glad they're deporting them.
The big problem, I mean, you have a regional problem,
and that's the legislature.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
At the state level.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
You have people that are say they're Republicans, that don't
vote like Republicans, say they're conservative, they don't vote like them.
I'm not talking about our representative. I think Todd does
an amazing job, but we have a lot of really
politically flexible folks in different positions, and they don't get
(06:06):
done what you would traditionally see in the state of Texas.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Now, whether that changes or not, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well, Air Houston is a hub for illegal activity with
respect to folks not legally.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
In this country.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It is a worldwide not just national, but a worldwide
hub for human trafficking.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
It is.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
And to be a worldwide hub for human trafficking means
they have to have some rogue elements at the state
level law enforcement agencies, and those need to be rooted out.
And the local and local levels, no, no question, they
need to be rooted out.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Do you think we have what do you think in
corbis Christie's.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Our what do you use? Do we have that kind
of problem? I don't think we have seen it.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I haven't seen it in Corpus.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I'm sure we have some kind of problem, but I
think we have great local law enforcement in general.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I think you do see some evidence of trafficking.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Oh absolutely, you do.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
You see it everywhere, But I don't think you know.
I could be wrong, but I don't think it's our
local folks or law enforcement that is. I think they
would jump all over that. But as long as as
long as you when you have an open border, you're
going to have increased trafficking. When you have Department of
(07:41):
DHS that is now being shown and Health and Human
Services to assist in.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Trafficking, I think that's it's a problem.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
When you have NGOs receiving money and assisting in trafficking,
that's a problem. But I think God that President Trump
is addressing this problem. I think that's a moral impaired
tip of any moral nation or nation that wants to
be more well.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
As we are looking at reigning in the feeding of
these NGOs, much of which comes from USAID, we immediately
come to the question of how have we gotten in
the position to how one of six hundred and some
(08:27):
odd federal district judges can affect national policy.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Well, they can't. I mean they're trying. They shouldn't be
able to.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I think at the very least, a district judge should
be limited his ruling should be limited to the circuit
in which he sits, if not the just the district
in which he SAIDs.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For instance, we are in the southern District of.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Texas, and ruling from one of our judges should probably
only affect the southern District of Texas or at most
the Fifth Circuit, which is a pretty big chunk of
land anyway.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Right, Well, what you're seeing as you're seeing politics play
out at the judicial level, and it's obvious it's a
problem and it's going to have to be dealt with.
I don't have all the answers for that, but I
think that the President's going to.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Have to push it.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
You know, it's amazing that the Supreme Court can make
a ruling on illegal aliens almost overnight, but they can't
make a ruling on the j six Ers for years.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I just.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Again, I think that is a national embarrassment. And these
literally peaceful protesters were hung out to dry for their
political beliefs. In supporting Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I'm not a fan John Roberts. I don't know if
he's compromised, that's my understanding. I could be wrong, but
he is. He's been a disaster. There's a few good
justices and there's some way out of control justices there.
And again I go back to what the founder said.
(10:21):
You know, if people aren't going to or if they're
not going to do their job from a moral optic,
then you're going to have basically a dumpster fire of
a nation, and we we're becoming that.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And you know you talk about being a moral nation.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
If I were compromised by a foreign intelligence agency, I would, or.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
A national intelligence agency, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I would most likely resign my position, or at least
go ahead, let the allegations out and fight them. I
resigned my position in Congress rather than fight because I
didn't want to cause problems for the Republican Party. In retrospect,
(11:15):
I probably should have stayed and fought based on my
disappointment in our current Congressman.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Uh, I told you to fight, and yes you did.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You were right on that one.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I said, Blake, don't don't do it. They're they're playing you.
They're they're not. Sometimes you just got to stand and fight.
I think here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know, they were all after.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
People start holding represented as accountable for what they've done
or what they're doing, then I think you'll start seeing
a rush to the exit, and that's probably what needs
to happen here.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, they were all over me for settling a lawsuit
that any HR professional I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I can't legally.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Reveal the amount, but it you know, their numbers floating
around in the public for that, any hr person would say,
my god, he got a deal.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Well let's let's see how many lawsuits in Congress have
been settled like that. Blake, big number, big number. So basically,
you you Blake, I'll say it. You got screwed.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
And but the thing is this, Republicans eat their own.
Democrats don't lock step together, ye, because Republicans in general,
a lot of them are just cowards.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The funniest thing that happened to me as a result
of that is I was getting my hair cut and
my hairdresser said, you know, you should have just come
out and said you're gay. I would have been your lover,
Debbie was your beard, and then the Democrats couldn't have
touched you.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I laughed.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I mean, look, the secrets of Congress ever come out,
and I imagine at some point they will, there's going
to be a lot of embarrassed You know what, we
should just have a day of moral reckoning where everyone
comes out and just tells on themselves and have some forgiveness.
And then if you're telling yourself, no one else can
hold it over your head, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Just I remember my boss I've said this on your
show before. It told me one time. You know, he
gave us rules when we were operating overseas.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
He said, number one, never do anything you can't morally
live with, because it's nothing's worth that. And he said
number two, never do anything that not if but when
it becomes known by the American people, it will.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Shock the conscience of the nation.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Like I can tell you, I know if the events
happening right now or that have happened, that when they
become known by the American people, it will shock the
conscience of this nation.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
And you're starting to see it.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I think the conscience of this nation has been I
don't know if shocked is even enough of a word.
With how we were all played by the media and Biden,
(14:37):
I mean, you were considered a crazy conspiracy theorist if
you said Biden was non compost mentos.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Look, if you believe anything the media in Congress, both
are polling lower than venereal disease. So I don't see
them as being credible, and I never had. The problem
is there's a segment of the population that hears something
on the media and thinks it's God's truth. And unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
There it's not, and the media.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Has given up. I'll call it the Woodward in Bernstein
as the conscience of the country. They you know, don't
confuse me with the facts. Orange Man bad right.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Well, they look, they went after Trump, and the reason
they went after Trump is because he represented something that
they can't live with, and that's someone they can't control.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
It's always about control.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
That's why I say it's it's the intelligence services that
it's all about control, controlling the asset. Biden was a
controllable asset President Trump.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
God Blessing is not.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No, he is not.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And again I think he's exactly exactly what we needed.
So yeah, let me see where else? Did where else
did I want to go? We touched on immigration. What's
(16:23):
your take on Christie No? Is she just a pretty face?
Or is she actually and good at her job?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I don't have a take on Christy No. Yeah, I
pray that. I mean, I don't know enough about her
to make a good comment.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I think she's had an organization that has some great
people in it and also has a lot of problems
in it, and that's a tough place to be. She's
going to have to root out those problems and promote
the good ones.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yep, I think her.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, good old ranch woman mentality is gonna is going
to really help her.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
There, it will.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I mean again, there's a lot of man and there's
a lot of propaganda out there, so I don't I
have to and I haven't spent any time really doing
a deep dive on her, so I don't want to
say anything that you know.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Well and their reports Now recruits are flooding to the
Border Patrol, Well.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Heck yeah, man, if you're going to work under a
guy like Tom Homan, someone that actually gets stuff done,
this is the This is the this is this.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Nobody wanted to be in the Border Patrol changing diapers
and doing paperwork on catch and release.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
No, absolutely not. I mean, look, people don't go to
the Border Patrol. They don't go into the intelligence services.
They don't go into the military for the money. They
go in there for the mission to make America grade,
to help protect it, to do something bigger than themselves.
It's not quaint, it's true. And when you destroy the
(18:09):
mission of an organization, when you decide that the mission
is diversity, equity and inclusion, the mission is breaking the
constitution and tearing the Constitution in two. When the mission
is opening the border and allowing a massive invasion of
the nation, you're not going to get your best and
your brightest. They're going to go places where they can
(18:30):
have a mission and a lot of that. Those guys
go to local police departments, they go to federal agencies
that are actually doing something.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
And what federal agency is actually doing something?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I'm sure there's some back then none, but you know,
there are good people out there, but the leadership is
pure crap. And of course the fish rots from the
head down. So not a lot a lot of them
just go work in the private sector.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yep. A lot of them went into oil and gas.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
They went into you know, a lot of guys left
and went to drive a truck in the Eagle Ford
because they can make one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
working two weeks a month.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
The way you make this nation.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Great blake is you get out of the way, You
remove the regulations that are choking off businesses and just
helping the large conglomerates, the large mega companies who can
afford a team of team of lawyers and lobbyists to
navigate the byzantine structure of all these all these regulations
(19:39):
that don't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Well, and it has also infected our justice system. In
when you are prosecuting a personal injury case suing somebody,
there's what's called negligence per se, and if I can
show you violated some obscure regulation, I win.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah, and I may not have anything to do with
the case. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It's Look, we need a healthy legal system, that's a
requirement for a nation. But what we don't need is
out of controlled judiciary and an out of control regulatory state.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
No I that picks winners and losers. And that's what
we have right now.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, I think we could go and get rid of
more than half of the regulations that are in place
and not miss them. I think there are so many
regulations that most Americans can't go an hour without violating something.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Oh, there's no question, there's no question. And again then
you have selective enforcement. So they use regulations to as
a political hammer on people that don't follow the ideology
of the the group in power. And that will not
(21:12):
save a nation, that'll destroy it. And currently Congress is
doing the musical chair dance on the deck of the Titanic, and.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
That's all they've They've been doing that since I was there. Keith.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, well here's the thing. Eventually the music.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Stops, then the band goes under.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah, well think about it.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
The music's gonna stop if they keep doing business as usual,
and you would think they would be embarrassed not getting
things done.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I don't. I don't talk to Congressman anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, there's a saying people hate Congress, but they love
their congressman. It's the only explanation I can find for
Chuck Humor getting re elected.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Like I can think of an explanation. And you know.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
It, when people go to Congress and leave with exponentially
more money than they got.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
There, that that that's what we call it. Clue.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah, I lost money.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
If you yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I mean, it's the place go to get rich. Shouldn't
be Washington, d C. But when my wife and I
were there last and we're driving around, my wife looked
around and she goes, does this place poop cold? Because
it's it's the nicest area. I mean, you go to Washington,
d C. Crystal City and the nice areas Georgetown. Their
(22:42):
streets are nice folks. They don't have bumps they don't
have potholes.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
They had their share of homeless.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Though well not everywhere. You know, they kind of pushed
them to a certain section. I don't see the homeless
around the congressional buildings.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
There are a few walking around, but they don't.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Don't tell those congressmen I'm sleeping in the office comes.
The next question is with who.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Text from Robert h.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
We've been talking about clues to things with doctor Rose
Robertson's in clues Colonel Mustard with a candlestick in the
Library of Congress.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Noah.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Anyway, So Donald Trump working his.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Butt off.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I think his state visits to the Middle East where
something Biden could never have pulled off. How do you
think Trump's doing and what does he need to or
what does he need to do and that he's not doing.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
He needs to have a kitchen cabinet.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
He needs a group of people that can give him
the questions to ask of the different departments and bureaucracies
so they won't be able to obfuscate or hide things
from him.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Reagan had this.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
He had a group of people from the intelligence community,
he had a group of people from the military, had
a group of people from different walks of life that
could say, hey, ask about this, that know that knew
the inside workings of the different agencies, and that knew
where and how they could hide things, and so they
gave him the question. Then he would call in the
(24:40):
people and say, Okay, I'd like to know about this.
It's one thing to not tell the president something, it's
another thing to lie directly to him. And that's how
Reagan was able to bring the system to bear to
work as it was designed to work.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Well, it's going to have to be retirees.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
No, it's usually people that are outside the system now
that that, but they.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Understand because I think you know, for a lot of people,
being associated with Trump is career suicide in the bureaucracy.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Okay, and again that those are the people you need
to get rid of. Yeah, I'm period if the executive branch,
it's not just about President Trump, he's the executive branch.
He runs the executive branch, and a lot of these
agencies are under the executive branch, are under Title fifty,
the CIA is under the executive branch. They shouldn't be
hiding information from the president.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Now, if you hide information from the president, you need
to be fired and.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
A minimum, Yeah, at a minimum, and you.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Know that was what I need to be investigated.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
If you're hiding information that has to do with the
security and safety of the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well, yeah, it was Trump's catchphrase in The Apprentice, You're fired,
and I'm I will tell you. I don't think he's
using it enough right now.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I don't know everything he's doing. Some I don't want to.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
I'm not gonna judge his actions and motives yet because
I know he's doing a lot and he's one person.
I do understand. He hasn't been there that long. He
really hasn't. I mean, he's been there a few months.
And you know that the Congress in Washington, d C.
Moves at the speed of a drifting continent.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, but you've got to move You've got quickly.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah, you got to push him.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You know, once you're two years in.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Uh, I think once you're a year in, if you
don't have momentum, you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Be Yeah, because you've got the midterms right coming up.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I think he needs now.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I can't imagine the situation. Yeah, barring something just completely
out of the blue, where the demagarrats can retain or
regain control of the House or Senate because they don't
have an agenda. You know that best they've gotten, not Trump,
(27:03):
and that we found out with Gamala.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Was not enough.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
It wasn't enough because you had groups like Turning Point
USA their C four that really turned out the early
vote blake and they still unless you address the actual
cheating and how it was done in the election in
twenty twenty, and yes it happened, and please someone sue
me over this so that I have the receipts. I mean,
(27:30):
unless you address how they did the vote switching, unless
you address what happened in the twenty twenty election, then
it could happen again and you may not have the
massive turnout that the pre you know, the turnout before
the election, and so I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, you never have the turnout to the midterms.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Right, But I don't ever put past the other side's
ability to cheat to win.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
It can happen anytime you can't count the votes in
the same day. That's a problem. Anytime that they can't
give us the vote tally. In the most sophisticated country
in the world, we can't tell you all the votes
that came in. No, they choose not to because they
have to make up the other votes.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, it makes no sense that, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
We we shouldn't basically know as soon as the results
from each polling place within five minutes of the.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Last person voting.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean he just push a button in the machine
spits out the results.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
For the majority of my life, we always knew who
the president was the night of the election. We didn't
have to wait till like Biden, we didn't have to
wait till the votes came in the next day. The
thing President Trump won on that night was the reason
that happened was because of guys like Charlie Kirk, Scott Pressler.
They got so many early votes in that you could
not overcome with any algorithm how to cheat to It
(29:00):
was just overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
It goes against Republicans vote early. There's something about Republicans
that like to vote on election day, and I think
we need.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
To cure ourselves of that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean, look, as I used to say, vote early,
you could get hit by a bus.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I think you get your voting as soon as possible.
I voted early.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
On that, and we've got to do something about the
security of mail in ballots too.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Oh yeah, that was the big travesty in the twenty
twenty one of the big travesties in the twenty twenty election, that.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Along with a host of other things.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
But you couldn't even do that if you didn't have
people inside the system working against the system, working against
the Republicans or the conservative agenda. I don't want to
say the Republicans, because I think some Republicans are part
of the problem. It's we're at a we're at a
real tipping point in our nation's history right now. We're
(30:06):
gonna either choose to look back to move forward and
regain the things that made this nation great because core
values and core principles don't go out of style. Technology
just lets you get to where your morals are faster.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
If you have good morals, if you have good people
that are virtuous, not perfect, but virtuous, then you will
have and you have technology, then you will have a growth.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't even think you need virtuous, you just need
not crooked.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Well that's what virtual means, but virtually means not crooked.
Virtuous does not It's not like a patron saint. A
virtuous person is someone that does the right thing, does
the moral thing, does the you know, doesn't do the
unethical thing. And when you when your ethics are up
for grabs, when you when you have no when your
conscience is seared, as the Bible talks about, when have
(31:02):
a seared conscience, then you'll, you know, you'll become your
own God, breaking the first commandment, and you'll you'll live
for yourself.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
And that's never worked out in the arc of history.

Hey, this is every producer of the Scalpel with Doctor
Keith Rose preparing to drop for another episode. Another part
of the conversation between Doctor Rose and former South Texas
Congressman Blake farenthaled on Blake's Morning Show. As quickly as
(00:21):
things develop in well within the subject matter of the
things that are discussed here on the Scalpel, sometimes we
present information and by the time it hits your ears,
something's changed. So it's just that things move fast and
we do our best to keep up. In the history
(00:44):
of the Scalpel, there have only been a couple of
products that we have had some kind of a I
call it a monetary arrangement where if you purchase their
products it helps us out here at the Scalpel. Just
the little bit say that all the time, what you
need to know, and if you haven't already figured it out,
(01:06):
we will never present a product to you or make
an arrangement with a company that we either are not
passionate about or and in most cases have direct personal
experience with. Brick House Nutrition is one of those we
talk about them in every episode. Doctor Rose uses Field
of Greens he has for years, and in a recent
(01:30):
episode of the Scalpel. Just probably a couple of weeks ago,
Doctor Rose introduced you to a new product called life
Wave peptide patches. I don't know a lot about them,
but he does. A friend of his introduced him to
life Wave patches. He started using them and found an
opportunity that made sense. Doctor Rose in the future is
(01:54):
going to tell you more about it and what these
patches do. They're intended to reduce pain and inflammation and
even aid in DNA repair. There are other benefits to
that you can learn all about. Purchase your lifewavepatches at
lifewave dot com slash Rose, MD. You'll find the link
(02:14):
in the show notes, and any purchase you make helps
us out here at the Scalpel.
Speaker 2 (02:19):

(02:43):
starts now.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Good head line ice deportation linked to a massive sixty
percent drop in dinver homicides.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yep. That's what happens when you take the trendy.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Agua gang members and sent it back to Venezuela or
somewhere else. The reason that ICE deportations are lowering crime
is because ICE. The better articles title would be ice
deporting criminal illegal aliens, hence dropping crime. It's amazing how
(03:21):
you know Tom Homan is doing exactly what the president
wants and what they said they were going to do.
And then of course you have your former congressman screaming
or congressmen screaming.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Why are you deporting these these fathers? Oh, you mean
the ones that were killing people. I think that's it.
Then they're not here legally. I think they get deported. Yep.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's amazing how veterans have no empathy and no rights
in this nation, but someone that came across the border
illegally that's living off the system is the most valued
member of our society according to politicians.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I will tell you that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think on the Republican side, you've got some respect
for veterans, but I think we've got a homeless vet
problem that is not being adequately addressed. The veterans are
a whole lot better off under Trump than they were
under Obama and in Biden. So I do think that
(04:28):
is a win, but I think we have a long
way to go for a feeling and keeping the promises
made to a good many veterans that.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Have a long time they've just never done anything for him,
and that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
When I was there, I had.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
A bi weekly call with the head of the VA
medical system down here and we tried to get things done.
But the homely situation with veterans I think needs to
be targeted.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But I digress.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Also, on the immigration front, four hundred illegal aliens were arrested,
five hundred deported in week long ice rays in Houston.
I mean, this is in our backyard.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Houston's a blue city and I'm glad they're deporting them.
The big problem, I mean, you have a regional problem,
and that's the legislature.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
At the state level.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
You have people that are say they're Republicans, that don't
vote like Republicans, say they're conservative, they don't vote like them.
I'm not talking about our representative. I think Todd does
an amazing job, but we have a lot of really
politically flexible folks in different positions, and they don't get
(06:06):
done what you would traditionally see in the state of Texas.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Now, whether that changes or not, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well, Air Houston is a hub for illegal activity with
respect to folks not legally.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
In this country.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It is a worldwide not just national, but a worldwide
hub for human trafficking.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
It is.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
And to be a worldwide hub for human trafficking means
they have to have some rogue elements at the state
level law enforcement agencies, and those need to be rooted out.
And the local and local levels, no, no question, they
need to be rooted out.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Do you think we have what do you think in
corbis Christie's.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Our what do you use? Do we have that kind
of problem? I don't think we have seen it.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I haven't seen it in Corpus.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I'm sure we have some kind of problem, but I
think we have great local law enforcement in general.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I think you do see some evidence of trafficking.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Oh absolutely, you do.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
You see it everywhere, But I don't think you know.
I could be wrong, but I don't think it's our
local folks or law enforcement that is. I think they
would jump all over that. But as long as as
long as you when you have an open border, you're
going to have increased trafficking. When you have Department of
(07:41):
DHS that is now being shown and Health and Human
Services to assist in.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Trafficking, I think that's it's a problem.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
When you have NGOs receiving money and assisting in trafficking,
that's a problem. But I think God that President Trump
is addressing this problem. I think that's a moral impaired
tip of any moral nation or nation that wants to
be more well.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
As we are looking at reigning in the feeding of
these NGOs, much of which comes from USAID, we immediately
come to the question of how have we gotten in
the position to how one of six hundred and some
(08:27):
odd federal district judges can affect national policy.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Well, they can't. I mean they're trying. They shouldn't be
able to.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I think at the very least, a district judge should
be limited his ruling should be limited to the circuit
in which he sits, if not the just the district
in which he SAIDs.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For instance, we are in the southern District of.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Texas, and ruling from one of our judges should probably
only affect the southern District of Texas or at most
the Fifth Circuit, which is a pretty big chunk of
land anyway.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Right, Well, what you're seeing as you're seeing politics play
out at the judicial level, and it's obvious it's a
problem and it's going to have to be dealt with.
I don't have all the answers for that, but I
think that the President's going to.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Have to push it.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
You know, it's amazing that the Supreme Court can make
a ruling on illegal aliens almost overnight, but they can't
make a ruling on the j six Ers for years.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I just.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Again, I think that is a national embarrassment. And these
literally peaceful protesters were hung out to dry for their
political beliefs. In supporting Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I'm not a fan John Roberts. I don't know if
he's compromised, that's my understanding. I could be wrong, but
he is. He's been a disaster. There's a few good
justices and there's some way out of control justices there.
And again I go back to what the founder said.
(10:21):
You know, if people aren't going to or if they're
not going to do their job from a moral optic,
then you're going to have basically a dumpster fire of
a nation, and we we're becoming that.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And you know you talk about being a moral nation.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
If I were compromised by a foreign intelligence agency, I would, or.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
A national intelligence agency, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I would most likely resign my position, or at least
go ahead, let the allegations out and fight them. I
resigned my position in Congress rather than fight because I
didn't want to cause problems for the Republican Party. In retrospect,
(11:15):
I probably should have stayed and fought based on my
disappointment in our current Congressman.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Uh, I told you to fight, and yes you did.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You were right on that one.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I said, Blake, don't don't do it. They're they're playing you.
They're they're not. Sometimes you just got to stand and fight.
I think here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You know, they were all after.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
People start holding represented as accountable for what they've done
or what they're doing, then I think you'll start seeing
a rush to the exit, and that's probably what needs
to happen here.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, they were all over me for settling a lawsuit
that any HR professional I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I can't legally.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Reveal the amount, but it you know, their numbers floating
around in the public for that, any hr person would say,
my god, he got a deal.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Well let's let's see how many lawsuits in Congress have
been settled like that. Blake, big number, big number. So basically,
you you Blake, I'll say it. You got screwed.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
And but the thing is this, Republicans eat their own.
Democrats don't lock step together, ye, because Republicans in general,
a lot of them are just cowards.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The funniest thing that happened to me as a result
of that is I was getting my hair cut and
my hairdresser said, you know, you should have just come
out and said you're gay. I would have been your lover,
Debbie was your beard, and then the Democrats couldn't have
touched you.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I laughed.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I mean, look, the secrets of Congress ever come out,
and I imagine at some point they will, there's going
to be a lot of embarrassed You know what, we
should just have a day of moral reckoning where everyone
comes out and just tells on themselves and have some forgiveness.
And then if you're telling yourself, no one else can
hold it over your head, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Just I remember my boss I've said this on your
show before. It told me one time. You know, he
gave us rules when we were operating overseas.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
He said, number one, never do anything you can't morally
live with, because it's nothing's worth that. And he said
number two, never do anything that not if but when
it becomes known by the American people, it will.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Shock the conscience of the nation.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Like I can tell you, I know if the events
happening right now or that have happened, that when they
become known by the American people, it will shock the
conscience of this nation.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
And you're starting to see it.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I think the conscience of this nation has been I
don't know if shocked is even enough of a word.
With how we were all played by the media and Biden,
(14:37):
I mean, you were considered a crazy conspiracy theorist if
you said Biden was non compost mentos.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Look, if you believe anything the media in Congress, both
are polling lower than venereal disease. So I don't see
them as being credible, and I never had. The problem
is there's a segment of the population that hears something
on the media and thinks it's God's truth. And unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
There it's not, and the media.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Has given up. I'll call it the Woodward in Bernstein
as the conscience of the country. They you know, don't
confuse me with the facts. Orange Man bad right.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Well, they look, they went after Trump, and the reason
they went after Trump is because he represented something that
they can't live with, and that's someone they can't control.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
It's always about control.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
That's why I say it's it's the intelligence services that
it's all about control, controlling the asset. Biden was a
controllable asset President Trump.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
God Blessing is not.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No, he is not.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And again I think he's exactly exactly what we needed.
So yeah, let me see where else? Did where else
did I want to go? We touched on immigration. What's
(16:23):
your take on Christie No? Is she just a pretty face?
Or is she actually and good at her job?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I don't have a take on Christy No. Yeah, I
pray that. I mean, I don't know enough about her
to make a good comment.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I think she's had an organization that has some great
people in it and also has a lot of problems
in it, and that's a tough place to be. She's
going to have to root out those problems and promote
the good ones.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yep, I think her.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, good old ranch woman mentality is gonna is going
to really help her.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
There, it will.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I mean again, there's a lot of man and there's
a lot of propaganda out there, so I don't I
have to and I haven't spent any time really doing
a deep dive on her, so I don't want to
say anything that you know.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Well and their reports Now recruits are flooding to the
Border Patrol, Well.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Heck yeah, man, if you're going to work under a
guy like Tom Homan, someone that actually gets stuff done,
this is the This is the this is this.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Nobody wanted to be in the Border Patrol changing diapers
and doing paperwork on catch and release.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
No, absolutely not. I mean, look, people don't go to
the Border Patrol. They don't go into the intelligence services.
They don't go into the military for the money. They
go in there for the mission to make America grade,
to help protect it, to do something bigger than themselves.
It's not quaint, it's true. And when you destroy the
(18:09):
mission of an organization, when you decide that the mission
is diversity, equity and inclusion, the mission is breaking the
constitution and tearing the Constitution in two. When the mission
is opening the border and allowing a massive invasion of
the nation, you're not going to get your best and
your brightest. They're going to go places where they can
(18:30):
have a mission and a lot of that. Those guys
go to local police departments, they go to federal agencies
that are actually doing something.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
And what federal agency is actually doing something?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I'm sure there's some back then none, but you know,
there are good people out there, but the leadership is
pure crap. And of course the fish rots from the
head down. So not a lot a lot of them
just go work in the private sector.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yep. A lot of them went into oil and gas.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
They went into you know, a lot of guys left
and went to drive a truck in the Eagle Ford
because they can make one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
working two weeks a month.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
The way you make this nation.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Great blake is you get out of the way, You
remove the regulations that are choking off businesses and just
helping the large conglomerates, the large mega companies who can
afford a team of team of lawyers and lobbyists to
navigate the byzantine structure of all these all these regulations
(19:39):
that don't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Well, and it has also infected our justice system. In
when you are prosecuting a personal injury case suing somebody,
there's what's called negligence per se, and if I can
show you violated some obscure regulation, I win.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah, and I may not have anything to do with
the case. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It's Look, we need a healthy legal system, that's a
requirement for a nation. But what we don't need is
out of controlled judiciary and an out of control regulatory state.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
No I that picks winners and losers. And that's what
we have right now.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, I think we could go and get rid of
more than half of the regulations that are in place
and not miss them. I think there are so many
regulations that most Americans can't go an hour without violating something.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Oh, there's no question, there's no question. And again then
you have selective enforcement. So they use regulations to as
a political hammer on people that don't follow the ideology
of the the group in power. And that will not
(21:12):
save a nation, that'll destroy it. And currently Congress is
doing the musical chair dance on the deck of the Titanic, and.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
That's all they've They've been doing that since I was there. Keith.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, well here's the thing. Eventually the music.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Stops, then the band goes under.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah, well think about it.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
The music's gonna stop if they keep doing business as usual,
and you would think they would be embarrassed not getting
things done.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I don't. I don't talk to Congressman anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, there's a saying people hate Congress, but they love
their congressman. It's the only explanation I can find for
Chuck Humor getting re elected.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Like I can think of an explanation. And you know.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
It, when people go to Congress and leave with exponentially
more money than they got.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
There, that that that's what we call it. Clue.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah, I lost money.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
If you yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I mean, it's the place go to get rich. Shouldn't
be Washington, d C. But when my wife and I
were there last and we're driving around, my wife looked
around and she goes, does this place poop cold? Because
it's it's the nicest area. I mean, you go to Washington,
d C. Crystal City and the nice areas Georgetown. Their
(22:42):
streets are nice folks. They don't have bumps they don't
have potholes.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
They had their share of homeless.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Though well not everywhere. You know, they kind of pushed
them to a certain section. I don't see the homeless
around the congressional buildings.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
There are a few walking around, but they don't.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Don't tell those congressmen I'm sleeping in the office comes.
The next question is with who.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Text from Robert h.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
We've been talking about clues to things with doctor Rose
Robertson's in clues Colonel Mustard with a candlestick in the
Library of Congress.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Noah.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Anyway, So Donald Trump working his.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Butt off.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I think his state visits to the Middle East where
something Biden could never have pulled off. How do you
think Trump's doing and what does he need to or
what does he need to do and that he's not doing.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
He needs to have a kitchen cabinet.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
He needs a group of people that can give him
the questions to ask of the different departments and bureaucracies
so they won't be able to obfuscate or hide things
from him.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Reagan had this.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
He had a group of people from the intelligence community,
he had a group of people from the military, had
a group of people from different walks of life that
could say, hey, ask about this, that know that knew
the inside workings of the different agencies, and that knew
where and how they could hide things, and so they
gave him the question. Then he would call in the
(24:40):
people and say, Okay, I'd like to know about this.
It's one thing to not tell the president something, it's
another thing to lie directly to him. And that's how
Reagan was able to bring the system to bear to
work as it was designed to work.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Well, it's going to have to be retirees.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
No, it's usually people that are outside the system now
that that, but they.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Understand because I think you know, for a lot of people,
being associated with Trump is career suicide in the bureaucracy.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Okay, and again that those are the people you need
to get rid of. Yeah, I'm period if the executive branch,
it's not just about President Trump, he's the executive branch.
He runs the executive branch, and a lot of these
agencies are under the executive branch, are under Title fifty,
the CIA is under the executive branch. They shouldn't be
hiding information from the president.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Now, if you hide information from the president, you need
to be fired and.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
A minimum, Yeah, at a minimum, and you.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Know that was what I need to be investigated.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
If you're hiding information that has to do with the
security and safety of the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well, yeah, it was Trump's catchphrase in The Apprentice, You're fired,
and I'm I will tell you. I don't think he's
using it enough right now.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I don't know everything he's doing. Some I don't want to.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
I'm not gonna judge his actions and motives yet because
I know he's doing a lot and he's one person.
I do understand. He hasn't been there that long. He
really hasn't. I mean, he's been there a few months.
And you know that the Congress in Washington, d C.
Moves at the speed of a drifting continent.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, but you've got to move You've got quickly.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah, you got to push him.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You know, once you're two years in.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Uh, I think once you're a year in, if you
don't have momentum, you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Be Yeah, because you've got the midterms right coming up.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I think he needs now.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I can't imagine the situation. Yeah, barring something just completely
out of the blue, where the demagarrats can retain or
regain control of the House or Senate because they don't
have an agenda. You know that best they've gotten, not Trump,
(27:03):
and that we found out with Gamala.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Was not enough.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
It wasn't enough because you had groups like Turning Point
USA their C four that really turned out the early
vote blake and they still unless you address the actual
cheating and how it was done in the election in
twenty twenty, and yes it happened, and please someone sue
me over this so that I have the receipts. I mean,
(27:30):
unless you address how they did the vote switching, unless
you address what happened in the twenty twenty election, then
it could happen again and you may not have the
massive turnout that the pre you know, the turnout before
the election, and so I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, you never have the turnout to the midterms.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Right, But I don't ever put past the other side's
ability to cheat to win.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
It can happen anytime you can't count the votes in
the same day. That's a problem. Anytime that they can't
give us the vote tally. In the most sophisticated country
in the world, we can't tell you all the votes
that came in. No, they choose not to because they
have to make up the other votes.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, it makes no sense that, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
We we shouldn't basically know as soon as the results
from each polling place within five minutes of the.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Last person voting.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean he just push a button in the machine
spits out the results.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
For the majority of my life, we always knew who
the president was the night of the election. We didn't
have to wait till like Biden, we didn't have to
wait till the votes came in the next day. The
thing President Trump won on that night was the reason
that happened was because of guys like Charlie Kirk, Scott Pressler.
They got so many early votes in that you could
not overcome with any algorithm how to cheat to It
(29:00):
was just overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
It goes against Republicans vote early. There's something about Republicans
that like to vote on election day, and I think
we need.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
To cure ourselves of that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean, look, as I used to say, vote early,
you could get hit by a bus.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I think you get your voting as soon as possible.
I voted early.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
On that, and we've got to do something about the
security of mail in ballots too.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Oh yeah, that was the big travesty in the twenty
twenty one of the big travesties in the twenty twenty election, that.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Along with a host of other things.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
But you couldn't even do that if you didn't have
people inside the system working against the system, working against
the Republicans or the conservative agenda. I don't want to
say the Republicans, because I think some Republicans are part
of the problem. It's we're at a we're at a
real tipping point in our nation's history right now. We're
(30:06):
gonna either choose to look back to move forward and
regain the things that made this nation great because core
values and core principles don't go out of style. Technology
just lets you get to where your morals are faster.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
If you have good morals, if you have good people
that are virtuous, not perfect, but virtuous, then you will
have and you have technology, then you will have a growth.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't even think you need virtuous, you just need
not crooked.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Well that's what virtual means, but virtually means not crooked.
Virtuous does not It's not like a patron saint. A
virtuous person is someone that does the right thing, does
the moral thing, does the you know, doesn't do the
unethical thing. And when you when your ethics are up
for grabs, when you when you have no when your
conscience is seared, as the Bible talks about, when have
(31:02):
a seared conscience, then you'll, you know, you'll become your
own God, breaking the first commandment, and you'll you'll live
for yourself.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
And that's never worked out in the arc of history.
