• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22

• 8:32

• 8:37

• 13:17
  Speaker 7: Today, visiting with the host of the Good for America podcast.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: As a former chairman of the House Freedom concuss former
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Congressman Bob Good and with a lot of financial work
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: in his background as well, he says, this week's podcast
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: is going to be about the forty trillion dollar threshold
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: we just crossed in debt. So, Bob, what about all
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: this behavior that seems to belie this idea that Democrats
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: have this huge opportunity are just going to run away
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: with the midterms. Their behavior ever since the beginning of
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: the redistricting and a lot of the shenanigans that are
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: still going on, it doesn't look like they're thinking internally
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: that they're going to run away with this thing. What
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: are you hearing?
• 14:11
  Speaker 18: I think in the democrats favor will be propensity for
• 14:14
  Speaker 18: higher Democrat turnout because they're out of power, and they're motivated,
• 14:17
  Speaker 18: and they don't like President Trump and President Trump's favorability
• 14:20
  Speaker 18: and ratings are struggling and in tradition and history in
• 14:24
  Speaker 18: the midterm elections, especially whether the lame duck president in
• 14:27
  Speaker 18: the final two years of his last term. However, the
• 14:32
  Speaker 18: redistricting efforts led by President Trump where the states did redistricting,
• 14:37
  Speaker 18: help Republicans gain a net of five or six seats
• 14:40
  Speaker 18: at least the way that the districts lean Republicans have
• 14:43
  Speaker 18: a majority are assuming an advantage in money, which is
• 14:45
  Speaker 18: very rare. To your point, you said that earlier, the
• 14:48
  Speaker 18: Republican Party has about one hundred million dollars more in
• 14:51
  Speaker 18: the RNC versus the DNC. President Trump has hundreds of
• 14:55
  Speaker 18: millions and more dollars more, about four hundred million dollars
• 14:58
  Speaker 18: in his campaign warchess. How much will he use that
• 15:01
  Speaker 18: in the midterms, And so the Republicans will have a
• 15:03
  Speaker 18: financial advantage. In addition, Democrat policies are so unpopular and
• 15:08
  Speaker 18: they've nominated so many extreme, hard left radical candidates from
• 15:12
  Speaker 18: the Democrat Socialists of America and so forth, that Republicans
• 15:16
  Speaker 18: I think they've got to fight chance. I think the
• 15:18
  Speaker 18: Republicans will barely keep the Senate, and I think the
• 15:21
  Speaker 18: House is a toss up to go either way. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 18: think it go a long way if they were to
• 15:25
  Speaker 18: cut spending and put some things in place to reduce
• 15:28
  Speaker 18: the debt and the deficit between now and what I think.
• 15:33
  Speaker 18: We're seventy four days from election day.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: What is it? It's five billion in every month and
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: seven billion out every month, Bob, is is that how
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: they managed to wind up this foreign debt?
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: It's seven trillion annually out, five trillion annually in and
• 15:50
  Speaker 18: about two hundred billion a month deficit. But July was
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: one of the highest, if not the highest deficits on record,
• 15:57
  Speaker 18: with over four hundred billion dollars in deficit in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 18: month of July. And it only took five months to
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: go from thirty nine trillion to forty trillion. I suspect
• 16:07
  Speaker 18: it'll take four months to hit forty one trillion. They've
• 16:11
  Speaker 18: already got to raise the debt limit again. They did
• 16:13
  Speaker 18: by five trillion dollars in the Big Bill last summer.
• 16:17
  Speaker 18: No willingness on part of Republicans who control all of the
• 16:21
  Speaker 18: government to address the debt and spending. We need to
• 16:22
  Speaker 18: call a spade a spade, and that is the truth.
• 16:24
  Speaker 18: And the American people are suffering as a result, that's
• 16:26
  Speaker 18: why interest rates are actually going up and not down.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: And a lot of folks who talk about inflation say
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: that's what you have to do to control inflation, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: nobody likes to say that politically. Bob, is there enough
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: spending cuts to cut a trillion out of that two
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: trillion dollar deficit annually?
• 16:45
  Speaker 18: I think if Republicans had courage and were principled, they
• 16:48
  Speaker 18: could cut a trillion dollars annually out of the discretionary budget,
• 16:53
  Speaker 18: which is about two trillion dollars. About half of that
• 16:55
  Speaker 18: could be cut in my view. Then they've got to
• 16:58
  Speaker 18: address the mandatory that the explosion of soci scurity, Medicare
• 17:01
  Speaker 18: and Medicaid, because it's unsustainable and you've got to reform
• 17:05
  Speaker 18: it to preserve and protective for those who truly need it.

• 17:10

  Speaker 7: Four three four eighty eight two four two one seven
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: this one. Where's the question that came in uh Joel asked,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: did Bob good ever run for governor? He only ran
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: for Congress. Oh no, he was a He was a
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: city councilor in Lynchburg before he ran for Congress. And
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: he ran for Congress and caused you know, I think
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: one of the first cases of Trump derangement syndrome amongst Republicans.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: So Bob challenged a guy, a fellow named Denver Riggleman
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: who used to see on TV all the time. I
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: don't know what happened to him, burned bridges, I don't know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: But Denver was the Republican representing Central Virginia, and then
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Bob challenged him in a primary one convention, and you know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: still to this day, and I know he won the
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: convention and he's a friend, but I don't like conventions
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: as ways of choosing your candidate. I kind of like,
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: if we're going to have conventions, I want there to
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: be voting first, then a convention. So if you if
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: you hold a convention, it's at the end of some
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: voting so that you have something to work off of.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: So the way the way the two political parties do
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: it is all the states vote in their primaries and
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: then they go to a convention just in case there
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: aren't enough delegates and I you know, set aside, like
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: when Hillary and Barack Obama didn't go to a lot
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: of the primaries. There. Good morning here on the here
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this.
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: Clark?
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Morning Clark? How are you doing, sir? Well, I'll tell
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: you what.
• 19:09
  Speaker 19: I survived the category five thunderstorm we had last night.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: Power outages down there in North Alabama or what.
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 19: It never stayed out, but it kept going out and
• 19:23
  Speaker 19: oh my gosh, flashing lights in the house and it
• 19:26
  Speaker 19: was impressive.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: You know, tornadoes in the area. I hadn't seen any.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: I know that from all.
• 19:32
  Speaker 19: Straight line winds, a lot of trees down roads, you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 19: past your fences.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: I know you have friends here in Central Virginia. If
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: you want to make Central Virginian's twitch, say the word
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: d' racho to them, and I'm sure most people are like,
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: is that one of the sandwiches they sell at Taco Bell. Yes,
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: come get a mountain dew in a d racho. But
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: that's a that's a straight line storm that as I
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: understand that from meteorologists when it comes across in the
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: straight line. The wind is swirling, you know, up and
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: down or instead of side to side. It's like a
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: beater bar of a of a vacuum cleaner. And what
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: it does is it grabs the top of these trees.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: And I mean I was about twelve years ago there
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: was a deracho here in central Virginia and it knocked
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: out power in some areas for almost a month because
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: the trees that they tore down were so over the place.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: Every time an electric utility would restore a power line,
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: they discovered there were three more power lines connected to
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: it that were also out, so they couldn't, you know.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: Finally they finally got everyone back on. But I mean
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: I watched trees that were four feet across snap like
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: match sticks.
• 20:54
  Speaker 19: Oh yeah, yeah. Well, we don't have a name for it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 19: We just call it straight line. When or a micro
• 21:01
  Speaker 19: burst micro burs micro yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the damage is macro, not necessarily micro. So what's
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: on your mind, sir?
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 21:13
  Speaker 19: Listening to you and Mike talk about college football, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 19: for people listening, I live in Alabama.
• 21:20
  Speaker 20: Okay, so that is our opiate of the masses. I
• 21:25
  Speaker 20: watched high school football on ESPN T last night.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: Joe it's gotten to that point. Well, a lot of
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: the high school leagues now have name image likeness rules.
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: The Virginia's High School League has a whole book full
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: of name image likeness regulations. So you've got high school
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: kids who are doing ads for you know, I guess
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: the local you know, creamery or whatnot, and they have
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: to have regulations as to uh, the inducements and the
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: payouts for those who might seek to traffic in that.

  Speaker 25: Hi, this is Joe from the Home.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Of the First Amendment. First thing today.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: on this Friday morning. This is what we do here,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: so joining us here to talk a little bit about
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: a case of education, freedom and the law. Unfortunately, a
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: lot of folks need, and we have said this before,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: you need these legal foundations, UH National Legal Foundation. Steve
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: Hitchin President and is on with us filing Hall v. Fleming,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: State aid barred to being to a degree program being
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: too religious. Steve, thank you for taking up the case.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: Thank you for being one of those law firms that
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: steps in when our constitutional rights are quote abridged there.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: How are you doing there?
• 29:24
  Speaker 26: Yeah, we're glad to be with you today. And this
• 29:27
  Speaker 26: is a really important case. There is a lot of
• 29:29
  Speaker 26: discrimination against religion still in society and in the academy.
• 29:34
  Speaker 26: So let's have to take it to the Supreme Court.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: Yep, no without questions as part and working with the
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Alliance Defending Freedom as well on this. But so talk
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: about the case in here. So this is and people say, oh,
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: it's about money, but money has become the cudgel that
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: they are using to target speech free speech, and I
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: think it needs to be dragged down into the sunlight
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: when they go and try to defund program simply because
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: they don't fit into a dogma. Steve, give us the
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: details on this case that's going before the Supreme Court.
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 26: So, our client, Bethany Hall is a student at Liberty
• 30:18
  Speaker 26: and she was given this grant which is operated by
• 30:21
  Speaker 26: the State of Virginia. So obviously we all know that
• 30:25
  Speaker 26: Liberty University is a Christian university, so it's not about
• 30:27
  Speaker 26: the university. She was going to get the money there,
• 30:30
  Speaker 26: but when she changed her major from music education to
• 30:34
  Speaker 26: youth ministries, Liberty notified her that said, under regulations by
• 30:39
  Speaker 26: the state of Virginia.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: We can't give you this money anymore.
• 30:43
  Speaker 26: And the reason this is true is because there was
• 30:45
  Speaker 26: a terrible Supreme Court case back in two thousand and
• 30:47
  Speaker 26: four called Lockney Davy, and the Supreme Court said, yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 26: states can do this. They can discriminate against religion if
• 30:55
  Speaker 26: they want to when they give other people a financial aid.
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: And so we said, this can stand.
• 31:00
  Speaker 26: So we sued, knowing we would lose in the district court,
• 31:03
  Speaker 26: knowing we would lose in the Court of Appeals because
• 31:06
  Speaker 26: they can't overturn Supreme Court president.
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: Now we're going to the Supreme.
• 31:09
  Speaker 26: Court because of course they can overturn their own dad presidents,
• 31:13
  Speaker 26: and that's what we want them to do.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: Well, take us back to the bad president and how
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: they got here too to open this gaping loophole.
• 31:22
  Speaker 26: Yeah, Well, as I said, it was a case from
• 31:24
  Speaker 26: two thousand and four.
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: It's called lockv. Davy.
• 31:27
  Speaker 26: And before explain that, I'll just add a kind of
• 31:30
  Speaker 26: a matter.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: Of poetic justice.
• 31:32
  Speaker 26: Josh Davie, the student in that case, is now one
• 31:35
  Speaker 26: of Bethany's attorneys along with the.
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: Folks my group.
• 31:38
  Speaker 26: And so that's too good. Yeah, that's great, isn't it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 26: But what happened was is he was a student at
• 31:46
  Speaker 26: a state university in or may have been a private university,
• 31:50
  Speaker 26: but in the state of Washington, and they said the same.
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: Thing to him.
• 31:54
  Speaker 26: We would give you this money because we give it
• 31:56
  Speaker 26: to lots of people.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: But no, no, no, your major.
• 31:58
  Speaker 26: Is too religious, he sued, And as I said, he
• 32:01
  Speaker 26: lost at the Supreme Court in a terrible, terrible opinion,
• 32:05
  Speaker 26: and that's the one we're trying to get overturned. It's
• 32:07
  Speaker 26: exactly what they're still doing all over this country twenty
• 32:10
  Speaker 26: years later.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Well, I bet he's, you know, working some unbillable hours.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: If it's you know there, that's pretty good there. So
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: this is the kind of thing though, where I don't know,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: how do they get twisted around? And we spent a
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: lot of time on Roe versus Weight, obviously one of
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: the most famous bad I think there's Buck v. Bell
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: is another horrible Supreme Court ruling and everyone says, oh,
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court says, well, Supreme Court gets it wrong a lot.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: That's why some of my is the dissenting opinions are
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: sometimes my favorite part of a Supreme Court ruling. But
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: you know, is is it populism. Is it just you know,
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: how the case is written. Coming up through the appellate system,
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: A lot of people say, oh, you got to be careful.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: It's how the original case is written that you have
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: to really be careful or is all of that true.
• 33:03
  Speaker 26: Yeah, it's hard to know because Chief Justice Rehnquist was
• 33:09
  Speaker 26: wrote the opinion in two thousand and four.
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: Of course he's not on the court. He's a long
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: passed away.
• 33:16
  Speaker 26: Yeah, but there's only one justice left from that court,
• 33:19
  Speaker 26: which is Justice Thomas, and he was in the descent
• 33:21
  Speaker 26: in that case. So that's part of what makes us hopeful.
• 33:24
  Speaker 26: But this really isn't politics. It's just hard to explain
• 33:30
  Speaker 26: why Renquist and the other members of the court went
• 33:33
  Speaker 26: the way they did. I mean, Lockey Davy has been
• 33:35
  Speaker 26: criticized from the day it was issued by some of
• 33:38
  Speaker 26: the best constitutional scholars in the country. Nobody has figured
• 33:43
  Speaker 26: out why they made this horrible joice, this horrible decision.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Well, as Davies is on your legal team, I imagine
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: that's a big step. So in this case, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: it's the Commonwealth of Virginia again leaning on religious speech.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: Not as surprising giving the political makeup of it. There's
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: a libertarian bent that says, this is why we shouldn't
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: have government subsidizing education. But then you also run the
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: you know, to the danger of institutions being even more
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: so politically woke, don't you think.
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we.
• 34:24
  Speaker 26: Have to remember what the Founding generation believed. If you
• 34:28
  Speaker 26: study the history there, they were not against governments making
• 34:35
  Speaker 26: generally available benefits available to religious people along.
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: With every other citizen.
• 34:41
  Speaker 26: So that's what's happening here is not religion is not
• 34:44
  Speaker 26: being favored. Religion is proactively being disfavored. We will give
• 34:49
  Speaker 26: this to every student who meets some minimal criteria, but
• 34:53
  Speaker 26: not if your degree is quote unquote to religious.
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: It is religious.
• 34:57
  Speaker 26: Discrimination, pure and simple. And one of the things that
• 34:59
  Speaker 26: the judge said below. We got a great opinion from
• 35:02
  Speaker 26: Judge Richardson below calling for the Supreme Court to overturn
• 35:06
  Speaker 26: this case. He said, it betrays the Founding generation's.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: View of religious liberty. And that's exactly what it does.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: You know, on a grander scale. Stephen Hitchin is on
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: with us CO counsel in this case but also president
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: of the National Legal Foundation. This is the fruit of
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: a poisonous tree that has been growing for thirty years.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: I mean I actually debated a woman who ran an
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: organization called the Free Thought Society, Margaret Downey. I found
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: out she lived in the area my station was in.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: I invited her, and she was the one fighting in
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: Alabama to have the Ten Commandments taken down. I mean,
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: this has been this instead of a separation of church
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: and state, what I call a confrontation of church v State.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Since then, it seems like Steve am I wrong.
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: No, No, you're right.
• 36:02
  Speaker 26: My organization was founded in nineteen eighty five, and it
• 36:05
  Speaker 26: was founded because things were horrible then. We didn't just
• 36:09
  Speaker 26: decide to come into existence because we said, oh maybe
• 36:12
  Speaker 26: there's some religious discrimination out there. It was blatant, it
• 36:14
  Speaker 26: was flagrant, it was everywhere. So you're right, this.
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: Goes way back.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: So how do we unpack this? I guess that's the question.
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: I mean, aside from winning some of these cases, which
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: I always say, you know this is this is why,
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: you know, political wins and losses and political parties be damned.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: I want my listeners giving money to organizations like yours
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: and the Alliance Defending Freedom because when whether it's the first,
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: the second, the third, or fourth, you know, these cases
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: have to be defended in the in sometimes all the
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: way up to the Supreme Court. And it's your firms
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: that do this for average people who don't have the
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: resources of an Attorney General's office to fight back against.
• 36:57
  Speaker 26: Yeah, that's right. We are don't supported. We are adf
• 37:02
  Speaker 26: IS for c Liberty is who's also on this case.
• 37:05
  Speaker 26: As you said, Josh Davy's given a lot of free
• 37:07
  Speaker 26: hours on this case.
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: But it's right.
• 37:10
  Speaker 26: You know, what people used to say about the left
• 37:12
  Speaker 26: is that as they couldn't win in the elections, they
• 37:17
  Speaker 26: would try to win in the courts. And in a
• 37:19
  Speaker 26: way we are doing that too. But the huge difference
• 37:23
  Speaker 26: is they would go to the courts to further their
• 37:27
  Speaker 26: social engineering. We go to the courts to return this
• 37:30
  Speaker 26: country to the principles of the founders. So yeah, that's
• 37:34
  Speaker 26: that's the difference, and it's kind of fighting fire with fire.
• 37:36
  Speaker 26: But we have first Principle on our side and they're
• 37:39
  Speaker 26: just complete of pragmatic social engineers.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: I don't want to bury the lead. Where do people
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: find you online? Steve?
• 37:47

• 41:07
  Speaker 14: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a

  Speaker 14: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

• 41:26
  Speaker 14: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

• 44:19
  Speaker 7: Standing, Oliver, another word you've heard. It's true. I mean
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: from the other guys us we can trust. If there's
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: nothing you can say, maybe nothing you can do. Oh
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: there's always something you can do. Steve Hitchins on with
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: us from the National Legal Foundation. Steve on this case,
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: and I appreciate you hanging on you. You mentioned you
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: know that this is about getting back to founding principles.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: This is why you know twenty seventeen they started after
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Jefferson and Madison, especially here in there hometown where we
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: flag from, you know, and we sort of beat that back.
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: But I feel like this is coming back the two
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Every promotional announcement, I see, Oh,
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: we look into the flawed but important Thomas Jefferson, and
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: they keep laying the word flawed out there, and I'm
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: thinking this is this is salting the earth for a
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: campaign later against Thomas Jefferson, his work product. The fact
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: that the Bill of Rights remains in place and hasn't
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: been replaced by some promissory note of you know, the
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: right to housing and the right to a doctor and
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: the right to a wage or whatever else they try
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: to come up with a right to you know, indiscriminate sex,
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: any of those things. Notwithstanding, this is such an important
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: abstract that we haven't lost these original documents and that
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: if we do it right, we can clear the decks
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: of a lot of the stuff that was piled on
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: top of it and get back to because it's still there,
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: the founding principles.
• 46:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right.
• 46:03
  Speaker 26: I mean, I think, you know, our perspective is that
• 46:05
  Speaker 26: we are both a public interest law firm and a
• 46:08
  Speaker 26: Christian ministry, and coming from that point of view. We
• 46:11
  Speaker 26: recognize that there were no you know, there are no
• 46:14
  Speaker 26: sinilest people's that's why we need a savior. And we
• 46:18
  Speaker 26: admit what we need to admit about the founders, but
• 46:22
  Speaker 26: we don't tear down what they built, which is the
• 46:25
  Speaker 26: most amazing form of government the world's ever seen.
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: And that's just you know, not right wing rhetoric.
• 46:32
  Speaker 26: That's recognized and has been recognized for one hundred years
• 46:36
  Speaker 26: around the world. So many countries modeled their constitutional on
• 46:39
  Speaker 26: our constitution.
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: Why it was the.
• 46:41
  Speaker 26: Best that's ever been created, and that was widely recognized.
• 46:44
  Speaker 26: So we yeah, we admit flaws in our founders, of course,
• 46:48
  Speaker 26: as we admit flaws in ourselves, but we don't want
• 46:50
  Speaker 26: to destroy what they built, which is was an incredible
• 46:54
  Speaker 26: piece of political genius.
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: Oh without question, and the fact that it left it
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: on us. I mean I say this, you know, I
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: want to make America great again by making Americans great again.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: You know, the United States has to work on moral people.
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: I believe capitalism is the same way if we're immoral,
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: if we've been removed. And that's why I went back
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: and I mentioned Margaret Downey in the Free Thought Society
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: and taking the ten commandments down because we have a
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: problem in our schools with kids lying, cheating, murdering. You know, gee,
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: if there was only a list Steve that that said maybe,
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: you know, maybe don't do that, or your soul will
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: be damned to hell forever. I know that sounds mean spirited,
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: but that's the that's the deal, isn't it.
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: Well it is.
• 47:39
  Speaker 26: I mean, it's it's you know, the famous quote that
• 47:42
  Speaker 26: our Constitution was made for moral people and it's not
• 47:44
  Speaker 26: capable of governing any other.
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: So we have to consider all of this.
• 47:49
  Speaker 26: You know, it's the course, it's it's the elections, but
• 47:52
  Speaker 26: it's also the moral climate of the country and that's
• 47:57
  Speaker 26: in bad shape right now. And of course, just as
• 47:58
  Speaker 26: so many other things are that we've been talking about.
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: Can't us up on the timeline before we run out
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: of time? Here Steve Hitchin, president of the National Legal Foundation,
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: and this case of the Virginia student suing for her
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: rights to get grants if she qualified for them from
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: the state despite what she was studying. What is the
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: what is the timelineman on it?
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 48:25
  Speaker 26: So, first, well, there's sort of going to be two
• 48:27
  Speaker 26: timelines because we actually filed another petition yesterday on behalf
• 48:32
  Speaker 26: of three more liberty students who are suffering the same
• 48:36
  Speaker 26: discrimination in the same grant program, plus one another.
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: So there's going to be two timelines.
• 48:40
  Speaker 26: But yesterday, interestingly, we were also contacted by the State
• 48:45
  Speaker 26: of Virginia asking for a thirty day extension at the
• 48:49
  Speaker 26: Supreme Court, which the Supreme Court grants routinely. So they're
• 48:53
  Speaker 26: going to get thirty days to file whatever answer they
• 48:56
  Speaker 26: have to why they're doing this, and then we will
• 48:58
  Speaker 26: get to reply.
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: That takes two more weeks.
• 49:01
  Speaker 26: And then it goes to the justices, and once it
• 49:04
  Speaker 26: gets to them, it can take months and months and
• 49:06
  Speaker 26: months before they decide yes or no.
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: So we're looking in the future.
• 49:11
  Speaker 26: You know, if we get the cert granted, the petition granted,
• 49:15
  Speaker 26: we would expect argument in the.
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: Steve. I'm well, that awkward.
• 49:28
  Speaker 9: That was That was.
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: I guess spring. I mean, that's usually when the Supreme
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: Court hears it's new arguments, is early in the spring,
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: after the Red Mass and all of that. They're, oh, wow,
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: that's the National Legal Foundation and all these organizations that
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: do such great work for us. And I mentioned the
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: fact that statists are going to state I mean they
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: they they're going to come after you. They're going to
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: aim some reason that they should be able to surveil you.
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: They're going to claim that without a warrant, they're going
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: to claim See our earlier conversation and the one we
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: had in depth yesterday about flock cameras, security cameras, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: I think I had the constitutional answer to it. They're
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: going to exist. I mean, cameras exist. We can't pretend
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: they don't. You want to use them, you need to
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: get a warrant. If you don't get a warrant, it's
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: fruit from the poisonoustry and it's out and I don't
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: care what. And the problem is, we live in a
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: world where we feel like we absolutely know who the
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: bad guys are. So we allow states to establish laws
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: like civil asset forfeiture, which are the fruit of an
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: understandable battle against drug lords and drug dealers. But what
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: it's done is because it doesn't say in cases of
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: drug enforcement. It says the state can take your property
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: and never give it back to you if they feel
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: you are going to liquidate that property to pay for
• 51:13
