- 0:48Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 0:48Speaker 5: Thank you for sharing that visual with us. So one
- 0:53Speaker 5: of the things that came up. And I know that
- 0:54Speaker 5: you have some foreign relations experience. Of course, you know
- 1:00Speaker 5: the host of the documentary Exile, which at some point
- 1:04Speaker 5: will not be living up to its name, and it'll
- 1:06Speaker 5: come out. I mean, gosh, if we can have a
- 1:09Speaker 5: documentary about a guy doing a Neil Diamond cover act.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I believe what you've done.
- 1:15Speaker 5: For Exile should get some runs somewhere, you know, And
- 1:19Speaker 5: I had I was thinking about.
- 1:20Speaker 4: It, it would have been out years ago. If we
- 1:24Speaker 4: had hired you to be a publicist. You are You
- 1:26Speaker 4: are the absolute man, now, please, I am right now,
- 1:29Speaker 4: I am right now. I'm making this up. I mean,
- 1:32Speaker 4: I'm super It's a great product. You can see the
- 1:36Speaker 4: twenty two minute sort of long form tease over there
- 1:40Speaker 4: at Tom Drops Bombs on YouTube. I think I'm going
- 1:43Speaker 4: into an undisclosed Middle Eastern location sometime in the very
- 1:47Speaker 4: near future. Again, I can't, I can't stop.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Myself so well, you know, but usually things.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Because of their religion or their their skin color. I'm
- 1:54Speaker 4: probably there outside of whomever's being oppressed.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Well, and God bless you for it. This is why
- 2:00Speaker 5: he's a conservative as well, especially in the mid Atlantic
- 2:03Speaker 5: these days. But I bring this up just because I
- 2:06Speaker 5: happened to see it was inundated online with promos for
- 2:10Speaker 5: that Hugh Jackman movie song Sung Blue, and I was
- 2:15Speaker 5: just curious. I said, is this based on a real story?
- 2:17Speaker 5: And apparently it is? And Netflix has the documentary of that.
- 2:21Speaker 5: So if Netflix has room for a documentary and a
- 2:24Speaker 5: guy doing a Neil Diamond cover in Milwaukee, I think
- 2:28Speaker 5: they've got, you know, a few hours they could devote
- 2:30Speaker 5: to exile. I'm just saying, not that I run Netflix.
- 2:34Speaker 4: But you know, yeah, you had a free drug Neil
- 2:36Speaker 4: diamond cover at the Republican Caucus retreat at the Homestead
- 2:40Speaker 4: a few weeks back.
- 2:41Speaker 2: If that'll help, right, if that'll help. So the reason
- 2:44Speaker 2: I bring it up is is now.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Last week, just after you and I spoke, Ken Coochinelli
- 2:51Speaker 5: and I former DHS Secretary Virginia Attorney General. We were
- 2:55Speaker 5: talking about the Save Act and he said, listen, he
- 2:59Speaker 5: doesn't like five, but if they stapled the Save Act
- 3:02Speaker 5: of FAISA, he would vote for it. Where now you
- 3:06Speaker 5: know we're in this gap where supposedly we're in grave peril,
- 3:09Speaker 5: is there any other kind you know? Where the FISA
- 3:15Speaker 5: is in limbo? What should be done? Do you agree
- 3:19Speaker 5: with Ken that we should staple the Save Act? I
- 3:22Speaker 5: think it is that if making sure citizens vote is
- 3:26Speaker 5: a national security thing.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Now, Ken Kitchenelli has been a friend and some might
- 3:32Speaker 4: say a mentor for a long time. And I can't
- 3:36Speaker 4: stand the Save Act, but I would absolutely positively hold
- 3:39Speaker 4: my nose. Look, we've tolerated now twenty four years of it, right,
- 3:43Speaker 4: twenty three and and and it's the surveillance of American
- 3:49Speaker 4: citizens without probable cause. It's so many things that fly
- 3:52Speaker 4: in the face of the Bill of Rights, However, Comma,
- 3:56Speaker 4: I think that truly ensuring that we have and fair,
- 4:01Speaker 4: fair elections amongst citizens of this United States is existential.
- 4:07Speaker 4: And so I can hold my nose, uh and and
- 4:10Speaker 4: and and vote for that monstrosity, knowing that we'll have
- 4:13Speaker 4: another fight of the Save Act along the way.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I believe.
- 4:16Speaker 4: I believe this is the fact that AOSC said something
- 4:20Speaker 4: to the effect that Republicans are trying to rig elections
- 4:22Speaker 4: by making sure that only US citizens are able to vote. Yes,
- 4:26Speaker 4: you cannot make it. Isn't that didn't she say that?
- 4:29Speaker 4: I mean, is that an internet meme? I think she
- 4:31Speaker 4: said that, And that's frightening right with a straight face,
- 4:35Speaker 4: that the scion of the of the left right, the
- 4:38Speaker 4: party that gave us incredible Americans, that I mean this
- 4:41Speaker 4: like like JFK, who had some personal character flaws, probably,
- 4:45Speaker 4: but you know, has come to Republicans are trying to
- 4:48Speaker 4: steal elections by ensuring that only American citizens vote. Yeah,
- 4:52Speaker 4: we need to Save Act and John Thune needs to go.
- 4:55Speaker 4: And I'm just getting warmed up. Unfortunately, Tom Tillis is going,
- 4:59Speaker 4: so we can't vote him out of office. I don't
- 5:01Speaker 4: know what Alaska is thinking with Lisa Murkowski. But she's
- 5:04Speaker 4: what you get when you have ranked choice elections. That's
- 5:06Speaker 4: literally the example how bad those are so.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Well, And that's you know the thing is that I've
- 5:14Speaker 5: asked people time and time again, and I know that
- 5:17Speaker 5: you and I have issues with Faiza, mostly because your
- 5:22Speaker 5: DHS and its establishment and the Patriot Act don't seem
- 5:26Speaker 5: to have addressed any of the things that Mohammad Atta
- 5:29Speaker 5: and his team did to exploit America's blind spots in
- 5:35Speaker 5: two thousand and one.
- 5:37Speaker 4: But is there you know what you're getting your best girl.
- 5:40Speaker 2: For her birthday?
- 5:42Speaker 5: What is what is it about the Save Act that
- 5:46Speaker 5: these people have a problem with, Unless it is that
- 5:49Speaker 5: they they have too many constituents that are let's just say,
- 5:54Speaker 5: employing people off the book, under the table, whatever the
- 5:58Speaker 5: euphemism from your youth, it is.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Well, what we're watching right now in Virginia is Republicans
- 6:05Speaker 4: carry water for Democrats. And that's what's going on with
- 6:08Speaker 4: the Say Act. The Democrats scream loudly enough, and Republicans
- 6:11Speaker 4: think if they do what the Democrats are screaming, they
- 6:13Speaker 4: shouldn't do that, it's going to somehow hurt the Republicans.
- 6:16Speaker 4: It's like Stockholm syndrome at some point. But you know,
- 6:21Speaker 4: the Democrats have made this the heel to die on,
- 6:24Speaker 4: non hyperbolic like this, this is the one right they
- 6:27Speaker 4: have to stop this. They know that the twenty thirty census,
- 6:30Speaker 4: if it's conducted properly, is going to be really bad
- 6:33Speaker 4: for them as it relates to power, which is what
- 6:36Speaker 4: they care about.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 6:37Speaker 4: This isn't about perpetuating a more perfect union. This is
- 6:41Speaker 4: about the accumulation and the crule of power. It's amazing
- 6:44Speaker 4: how often we see and you can do this federally
- 6:47Speaker 4: or at the state level. You can do it at
- 6:50Speaker 4: the local level when you live somewhere and it's bucolic
- 6:52Speaker 4: and beautiful. If somebody from another region moves in and says,
- 6:54Speaker 4: I'll like it so much better than where I came from.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Now let's make it just like where I came from.
- 6:59Speaker 4: But you see that federal stay in local level, and
- 7:02Speaker 4: Democrats have sort of hitched their future to ensuring that
- 7:06Speaker 4: they can flood the playing field with people who just
- 7:09Speaker 4: want to destroy this this this country and it's and
- 7:12Speaker 4: it's equality of opportunity right, not of outcome right. The
- 7:16Speaker 4: freedom to succeed implies apparently the freedom to fail. But
- 7:20Speaker 4: you know, people who fail, and I am included on
- 7:22Speaker 4: that distinguished list, can get themselves up off the ground
- 7:26Speaker 4: and dust themselves off, learn in front of his mistakes
- 7:28Speaker 4: and try again. So say that is the future of
- 7:31Speaker 4: the Democrat Party. And they've screamed so loudly about that.
- 7:33Speaker 4: They're Republicans who are like, well, they seem to think
- 7:35Speaker 4: it's horrible. So what we don't want to do is
- 7:38Speaker 4: do something Democrats say is horrible because it might hurt us.
- 7:41Speaker 4: I don't even I can't even follow the logic, but
- 7:42Speaker 4: that's what it is.
- 7:43Speaker 5: I see what you're saying is and they think somehow
- 7:47Speaker 5: nobody will yell at them if they capitulate to that.
- 7:50Speaker 2: That's you know, now it makes sense.
- 7:53Speaker 5: It doesn't, I mean, it doesn't make sense, but I
- 7:55Speaker 5: can see the the twisted logic. And it is Tom
- 8:01Speaker 5: Garrett on its delegate, Tom Garrett on Facebook, it's Tom
- 8:06Speaker 5: drops bombs on YouTube, as well as Tom Garrett and expert.
- 8:11Speaker 6: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 8:15Speaker 6: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 8:18Speaker 1: It was Medashare that came through for us and there
- 8:20Speaker 1: was no hassles, there was no problem.
- 8:22Speaker 6: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 8:26Speaker 6: of such an incredible ministry.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Metas Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 8:31Speaker 3: share each other's medical expenses.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 8:38Speaker 1: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
- 8:45Speaker 3: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
- 8:48Speaker 3: other's medical bills.
- 8:49Speaker 7: We don't have to spend some much on health insurance.
- 8:51Speaker 4: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Meta Share is affordable.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Medishare is biblical. Medas Share is family. Join thousands of
- 8:59Speaker 3: Christians who can help you save on your healthcare and
- 9:01Speaker 3: support your family when you need it. Called eight five
- 9:04Speaker 3: five Share forty eight five five share forty. That's eight
- 9:09Speaker 3: five five share forty.
- 9:17Speaker 2: We could tell you what six seven needs. Where's the
- 9:20Speaker 2: fun of that first thing? Today? By Joe Thomas on
- 9:24Speaker 2: the Chunk Media Network.
- 9:25Speaker 8: Je Word said, steal me stemn have a day at
- 9:31Speaker 8: least for work when the sun comes up, drops a
- 9:33Speaker 8: kid to school. Joe has epything, Ajenda all the chases
- 9:39Speaker 8: seven needs no one that Josh is smile.
- 9:43Speaker 4: He only aids, please Joe.
- 9:49Speaker 2: You know how I loathe to say it to be,
- 9:54Speaker 2: yet I.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Am demanded to say it more and more frequently. I
- 10:00Speaker 5: told you so. I made this case some time ago.
- 10:05Speaker 5: One of the more notable subjects of an FBI investigation
- 10:09Speaker 5: started by Merrick Garland into working the Biden family's side
- 10:14Speaker 5: of the street government corruption is Virginia Senator Louise Lucas.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Tom drops Bombs is a member of the same esteemed
- 10:23Speaker 5: body as her, the Virginia General Assembly. He on the
- 10:27Speaker 5: House side. Just yesterday she said Joe Thomas was right
- 10:32Speaker 5: all along. Well, not in so many words, but I
- 10:37Speaker 5: had made the case a couple of weeks ago that
- 10:40Speaker 5: I believe Louise Lucas liked Glenn Youngkin, the Republican, more
- 10:45Speaker 5: than she likes Abigail Spanberger the Democrat, and everyone's like,
- 10:50Speaker 5: I can't say anything publicly, but you're right. And now
- 10:53Speaker 5: she just said it, you know, Louise drops Bombs. She
- 10:56Speaker 5: was on TV yesterday saying, well, at least Governor Youngkin
- 10:59Speaker 5: used to call me, how is this dysfunction going to
- 11:06Speaker 5: play out? And is there more of this amongst the
- 11:09Speaker 5: Democrat brand as Louise Lucas tries to be the elder
- 11:13Speaker 5: stateswoman of the AOC crowd.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm actually and I mean this somewhat
- 11:22Speaker 4: grateful to Senator Lucas for breaking the machine. There's certainly
- 11:28Speaker 4: dissension amongst the Democrat ranks. They just have historically not
- 11:32Speaker 4: argued in front of the kids, if you will. And
- 11:35Speaker 4: so what happens is there's dissension and then they go
- 11:40Speaker 4: into a room, close the door, and the minority voices
- 11:43Speaker 4: are beaten into submission by the Democrat leadership, and then
- 11:47Speaker 4: they come out and they all vote as they're told.
- 11:50Speaker 4: And that is not healthy either. So at some level,
- 11:53Speaker 4: Louise Lucas's defiance of the machine, her desire perhaps to
- 12:00Speaker 4: assert herself as the pre eminent force in the Virginia
- 12:02Speaker 4: Democrats circle is the reason that she's doing this. But
- 12:07Speaker 4: it probably needed to be done right and so if
- 12:11Speaker 4: that makes sense right right, Well, the example I always
- 12:16Speaker 4: use is they we're going to vote to make birthing
- 12:19Speaker 4: individuals a term instead of mothers in the Virginia Code,
- 12:22Speaker 4: and I put in a floor a moment to change
- 12:23Speaker 4: it back to mothers, or if they didn't like that women,
- 12:26Speaker 4: and I went to a prominent Democrat leader and said,
- 12:29Speaker 4: these are my floor moments, and he said, you know,
- 12:31Speaker 4: I hate this bs right like birthing individuals is gomb
- 12:36Speaker 4: And I said, yeah, but you're about to vote in
- 12:37Speaker 4: favor of that. He said, yeah, we got to pull
- 12:38Speaker 4: our caucus together. So Louise Lucas is sort of saying
- 12:42Speaker 4: the quiet part out loud, and to that end, I
- 12:45Speaker 4: didn't think that this would be a show where I
- 12:46Speaker 4: gave her credit, but she deserves a little bit because
- 12:49Speaker 4: even in the party that I disagree with the vast
- 12:51Speaker 4: bulk of the time, some dissension might yield better outcomes occasionally,
- 12:56Speaker 4: you know.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Saying That's where I'm going with this. So Virginia is
- 12:59Speaker 5: in a budget can undern people are using the phrase shutdown.
- 13:02Speaker 5: I like skinny budget instead, even though I think Virginia's
- 13:06Speaker 5: skinny budget funds fewer things than an actual federal budget
- 13:10Speaker 5: shutdown does. Is there hope that the conservative voices in
- 13:15Speaker 5: Virginia can use some of this dissension to say, hey,
- 13:20Speaker 5: you guys, come over here and vote for our budget
- 13:23Speaker 5: amendments and actually delivers something to Governor Spanberger that might
- 13:30Speaker 5: be a little bit more conservative than what the Democrats
- 13:32Speaker 5: are proposing.
- 13:33Speaker 4: Either case, maybe if Republicans were willing to leave.
- 13:38Speaker 2: I mean, what you've just.
- 13:39Speaker 4: Done ripped up the band aid of what you've just done,
- 13:43Speaker 4: and this is not scripted or planned, has ripped off
- 13:46Speaker 4: the band aid on the dissension in the Republican ranks
- 13:48Speaker 4: right now. So there, myself and some people who I
- 13:51Speaker 4: won't nim to protect the innocent, have said, why haven't
- 13:54Speaker 4: we put out a budget. Well, because we're the minority.
- 13:56Speaker 4: I said, yeah, I know that. But even though we're
- 13:59Speaker 4: the minority, in an opportunity where we could say, hey, if
- 14:01Speaker 4: we were leaving, these are what our priorities would be.
- 14:03Speaker 4: These are the things we wouldn't be wasting our money on,
- 14:07Speaker 4: and we'll see what the voter is like. They've given
- 14:09Speaker 4: us this opportunity, we should take it, and instead you've
- 14:13Speaker 4: got Republicans going, well, we just need to vote for
- 14:15Speaker 4: whatever budget because our job is to get a budget
- 14:17Speaker 4: to the citizens of the Commonwealth. And that and to
- 14:19Speaker 4: which the Republicans who are actually fiscal conservatives reply, our
- 14:25Speaker 4: job isn't to just figure out ways to spend more
- 14:27Speaker 4: of the citizens' tax dollars. Our job is to figure
- 14:30Speaker 4: out ways to spend the citizens tax dollars appropriately on
- 14:33Speaker 4: core essential functions of state government, like you know, education, transportation,
- 14:37Speaker 4: public safety, on how the list is done right.
- 14:40Speaker 2: And so give whatever it's like they really need.
- 14:44Speaker 4: We conservatives really need to roll out at here's what
- 14:48Speaker 4: we would be doing if we were in charge, if
- 14:50Speaker 4: only the comparing contrasts. Instead, it's well, a lot of
- 14:53Speaker 4: us are going to have to vote for the Democrat budget.
- 14:54Speaker 4: And I'm like, it's sixty four to thirty six in
- 14:56Speaker 4: the House. Why are any of us going to have
- 14:58Speaker 4: to vote for it. They'll do whatever they want with
- 15:00Speaker 4: without us. All we're doing is run and cover for
- 15:03Speaker 4: him if we vote for a bad budget, and that's
- 15:05Speaker 4: about to happen.
- 15:06Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, can I say that? Yeah?
- 15:08Speaker 5: You just did, so you know, maybe you know it's
- 15:11Speaker 5: you know, it's funny because as far to the right
- 15:14Speaker 5: as you are and as far to the left as
- 15:15Speaker 5: Louise is rhetorically, you know, you guys are at least
- 15:19Speaker 5: calling out your party for their transigons. The the issue
- 15:25Speaker 5: I see is it's going to wind up being another
- 15:28Speaker 5: case of we can't agree, So how about we just
- 15:31Speaker 5: spend everything that you want, and we'll spend everything I want.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Uh, and we'll go.
- 15:38Speaker 4: And who suffers well and who suffers the family trying
- 15:41Speaker 4: to put that first generation a kid through trade school
- 15:44Speaker 4: or through college. The young couple who really would like
- 15:46Speaker 4: to have a second child but they just can't afford
- 15:49Speaker 4: to because their power bill is going up eight percent,
- 15:51Speaker 4: seven percent on July first. So that we can pour
- 15:54Speaker 4: money into Tom Steyer and Bill Gates's pockets.
- 15:57Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly why. That's the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

- 18:00Speaker 5: his wife. He said in a video posted Acts that
- 18:05Speaker 5: friends and former employees have been approached by federal workers.
- 18:10Speaker 5: The San Francisco Chronicle says the investigation actually began under
- 18:16Speaker 5: President Biden. US President Trump and other world leaders are

- 19:00Speaker 5: a war with Iran, is now against the US being out.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Of a war with Iran. He wants to see.
- 19:06Speaker 5: The deal immediately and publicly, and even before it gets
- 19:11Speaker 5: to his office.
- 19:12Speaker 2: And those are our first things. Work your moms.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I came to drop balls, and I got movies.
- 19:18Speaker 3: And the bottles got some And just like the boticle Sun,
- 19:22Speaker 3: I can took it down.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I can took it down.
- 19:25Speaker 5: For he drops bombs, it's Tom drops bombs on YouTube?
- 19:31Speaker 2: What are the social media is.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Tom in exile some others.
- 19:40Speaker 4: So Garrett here in exile on Twitter or x and
- 19:44Speaker 4: it is Tom Garrett j R. LA Junior. Okay on
- 19:48Speaker 4: the formerly communist run platform. Although we do some pretty
- 19:54Speaker 4: good gun content, Joe and TikTok won't let us do
- 19:58Speaker 4: it there, which fires me up. Yeah, you know, I'm
- 20:02Speaker 4: ready to go off.
- 20:03Speaker 5: This is this is you know, control of the marketplace.
- 20:06Speaker 5: You can you can do as you wish in public,
- 20:09Speaker 5: but once you're on somebody's price. And I was talking
- 20:11Speaker 5: about this, you know, Internet one versus Internet three where
- 20:16Speaker 5: we are now. Back in the day at two thousand
- 20:19Speaker 5: and four or five, when everything was a chat room,
- 20:23Speaker 5: everything was moderated, and these these websites were private operations.
- 20:31Speaker 5: You didn't just run into them. You could find them
- 20:34Speaker 5: on you know, in searches, but you you couldn't see
- 20:37Speaker 5: what was going on in them unless you actually became
- 20:39Speaker 5: a member and you got into their moderated community like
- 20:42Speaker 5: a social club. I feel like the Internet was a
- 20:46Speaker 5: better place, not that there weren't worse.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Than you know, it was in the moderated communities Hoe,
- 20:52Speaker 4: particularly the one started at fourteen year Olds main senatorial
- 20:56Speaker 4: nominee Graham Plattner. Yeah, he was there anyway.
- 21:00Speaker 5: Not not that that should be an issue in the
- 21:02Speaker 5: election at all or anything like that.
- 21:05Speaker 4: No, not Nazi tattoo.
- 21:07Speaker 2: What Nazi tattoo? He didn't know.
- 21:09Speaker 5: No, it's a it's a Japanese signal or symbol of power.
- 21:12Speaker 4: They think you are. How dumb they think you are.
- 21:16Speaker 4: First of all, sorry for taking you astray. I can't
- 21:18Speaker 4: help myself. First of all, if you get a Nazi
- 21:22Speaker 4: total cough ss tattoo, the tattoo supported by the people
- 21:26Speaker 4: at the death camps, and you don't know what it is,
- 21:30Speaker 4: I think you're too stupid to be a senator anyway.
- 21:32Speaker 4: But let's presume that you do know what it is. Well,
- 21:35Speaker 4: probably then you shouldn't be a senator either. I think
- 21:37Speaker 4: it's disqualifying either way. Sorry, go ahead.
- 21:41Speaker 2: There we were, We were right where we need to be.
- 21:45Speaker 2: But these are the things you know, and and somebody
- 21:48Speaker 2: brought this up.
- 21:49Speaker 5: And you're a constitutional expert in a in a brutal
- 21:52Speaker 5: sort of like sledgehammer to a to a watermelon way
- 21:56Speaker 5: that I hear young people talk about the constantitutional blind
- 22:01Speaker 5: spots all the time, and Why doesn't the Constitution do
- 22:04Speaker 5: something about this? Why isn't the number one the Constitution
- 22:07Speaker 5: had provisos regarding size and scope of offices and the
- 22:13Speaker 5: powers that they had and the restrictions on them, and
- 22:16Speaker 5: we have just blown past them in the past one
- 22:20Speaker 5: hundred years out of our own convenience. You know, we
- 22:24Speaker 5: like it when the Republican brings Republican kind of bacon
- 22:28Speaker 5: back home, and we don't like it when the Democrat
- 22:31Speaker 5: brings Democrat bacon back home. I've got an idea. Shut
- 22:35Speaker 5: the appatoire off and stop killing the pigs.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Whoever the guy was that had the chocolate bar in
- 22:41Speaker 4: his front pockets, stood in front of the radio waves
- 22:44Speaker 4: that melted it?
- 22:45Speaker 6: Right?
- 22:45Speaker 4: Who invented accidentally the microwave ove? And we need to
- 22:48Speaker 4: hunt that guy down and drawing in quarter And we've
- 22:50Speaker 4: become a society that once when we want it, we're
- 22:53Speaker 4: a microwave oven. Right now, society and the constitutional blind
- 22:57Speaker 4: spots as young people like to call them, where we
- 22:59Speaker 4: can't it fixed the problem with the latest, greatest wonderful
- 23:03Speaker 4: idea that hasn't been thought through yet. It's not a flaw,
- 23:06Speaker 4: it's a feature. Right. These are called checks and balances
- 23:09Speaker 4: to people who have actually read up on the document,
- 23:12Speaker 4: and so it's started. I'll digress for a moment along
- 23:15Speaker 4: the same path, but off to the side with the
- 23:19Speaker 4: complete abandonment of enumerated powers.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Right.
- 23:22Speaker 4: I have served at the federal legislative level and the
- 23:24Speaker 4: state legislative level. I actually quite enjoy serving at the
- 23:27Speaker 4: state legislative level. The federal legislative level not so much.
- 23:31Speaker 4: The reason is that, whether you think so or not,
- 23:34Speaker 4: Paper says, I'm a relatively bright guy, and I can
- 23:37Speaker 4: wrap my brain around the issues that we need to
- 23:39Speaker 4: deal with at the state level, the core central functions
- 23:41Speaker 4: of state government. You can't do it at the federal
- 23:43Speaker 4: government level because they've pretty much got their finger in
- 23:46Speaker 4: every single pie there is. So if you're Marie Curie
- 23:50Speaker 4: or Alburne Einstein, you're still not smart enough to understand
- 23:54Speaker 4: enough about the stuff that they've put on their own
- 23:56Speaker 4: plate in defiance to the structure that the Founder's hand
- 24:00Speaker 4: to us, and to become a subject matter expert to
- 24:03Speaker 4: where you should get a vote on it. Right, And
- 24:06Speaker 4: that's dangerous. Now you've got a lobbying class that people
- 24:09Speaker 4: like even less than lawyers and politicians whose job it
- 24:13Speaker 4: is to come in and inform the people who represent
- 24:16Speaker 4: us on the issues on which the obviouists are being
- 24:19Speaker 4: paid to advocate, so that they can get the best
- 24:21Speaker 4: outcomes for us. What could possibly go wrong? Right, So
- 24:25Speaker 4: it's not a law, it's a feature that that that
- 24:28Speaker 4: there's gridlock from time to time, that there are checks
- 24:30Speaker 4: and balances, that the latest, greatest, wonderful good idea, like
- 24:34Speaker 4: you know, Filida, mine was a great idea at one point. Yeah,
- 24:37Speaker 4: those DDT at one point. But we have breaks for
- 24:41Speaker 4: the reason that we don't want to drive this thing
- 24:43Speaker 4: off the cliff, and these people can't drive it off
- 24:45Speaker 4: the cliff quick quickly enough.
- 24:47Speaker 5: It's foot to the floor without question. And I think
- 24:50Speaker 5: a lot of it has to do with a perversion
- 24:52Speaker 5: of the commerce clause, the idea that the federal government
- 24:56Speaker 5: has some role to play in all commerce, whether it
- 25:00Speaker 5: actually crosses a state border or not. Because now Internet
- 25:05Speaker 5: has given them the opportunity to say, well, somebody could
- 25:08Speaker 5: see it in another state, which means it's across state lines,
- 25:11Speaker 5: which gives us control over it. And it's Washeran's repeat.
- 25:16Speaker 5: And there's what's this saying about consultants? If he can't
- 25:19Speaker 5: be part of the solution. There's good money to be
- 25:22Speaker 5: made exacerbating the problem. He is Tom Garrett, Tom drops
- 25:27Speaker 5: bombs on YouTube's great video stuff, even if I do
- 25:33Speaker 5: say so patriarchally.
- 25:35Speaker 2: But what are the other social media handles?
- 25:40Speaker 4: Oh, you got Tom Garrett, Jay are At formerly communist TikTok,
- 25:45Speaker 4: and Garrett in exile on x But the mothership right
- 25:50Speaker 4: now is still Facebook. I think I'm really proud of
- 25:54Speaker 4: the team that we got, which is a team of two.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Joe knows both of us, but I think we from
- 26:00Speaker 4: about one thousand followers in the middle of January two.
- 26:03Speaker 4: If you add all the platforms together, about fifty thousand now.
- 26:06Speaker 4: So you're either doing something right or it's like a
- 26:08Speaker 4: train to reckon people just can't turn.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Away, whichever it is. You've got eyes and ears.
