00:02:14.820 welcome to the glenn beck program it is friday i want to give you some good news there are there are
00:02:23.120 lots of things that you are winning on a lot of court battles that you are winning on if you missed
00:02:30.300 the first hour of this podcast broadcast you need to go back and listen to my my call
00:02:38.140 to an attorney um we need to uh understand what you're fighting against and what you are fighting
00:02:48.140 against are people who are perverting the constitution and going around all of their powers that are
00:02:55.500 legally prescribed and doing anything they want the way to fight that is not through angry words or
00:03:03.040 anything else but through the court system and shame on all you attorneys that won't stand up
00:03:09.260 shame on you you you should be form forming uh your firms with the people who think like you do
00:03:17.700 and amassing the biggest list of attorneys that are like you know what i've had enough my country
00:03:23.500 is worth more than my money or prestige you will be remembered as a friend to freedom
00:03:32.380 now let me introduce you to one of the attorneys who is like that uh chris uh chandeville he is
00:03:40.680 with the alliance defending freedom he is senior counsel chris we talked to you guys uh what was it
00:03:47.800 about a month ago uh about a case you were battling in new mexico with the with doctors um and uh and
00:03:58.220 what new mexico was trying to force doctors to do and you had just won that case and you mentioned that
00:04:02.700 you were in another case similar to it in california can you tell us the case sure so there in new mexico
00:04:09.360 uh we had just won a case um essentially we filed a lawsuit um on behalf of medical professionals there
00:04:17.720 in the state who who said listen we cannot in good conscience help our patients kill themselves
00:04:23.860 and that is what the law there would have required them to do as a result of that lawsuit as we discussed
00:04:30.200 last week the new mexico legislature actually amended their law um to take away those requirements
00:04:37.400 that would have forced those doctors to participate in that process so we were thrilled about that
00:04:42.980 result and happy to bring you that good news uh there like you said about a month ago and now in
00:04:48.760 california uh we're back and we're celebrating again a really excellent victory that we were able to
00:04:55.080 achieve on behalf of a group of doctors there um who again were challenging a very similar law
00:05:01.900 that would have required them um if a patient of theirs expressed a desire to obtain lethal drugs
00:05:10.060 to kill themselves even if those doctors you know believe that the medical profession is about
00:05:15.700 helping and healing and not hurting and killing so they they have a conscious objection to uh assisting
00:05:21.900 in that process of their patients killing killing themselves those doctors still under these new changes to
00:05:27.760 the law would have been required to document that first oral request for those lethal drugs in that
00:05:34.840 patient's medical record and that is significant under the law because it's the first step in the process
00:05:40.480 of those patients obtaining those lethal drugs and so we filed a lawsuit on their behalf and we're just so
00:05:47.240 thrilled to report that we've settled that lawsuit with the state of california they have agreed
00:05:52.360 to not require a single uh physician anywhere in the state of california uh to be forced against their
00:05:59.760 will to participate in that process of helping their patients commit suicide and so it really is a
00:06:05.560 sweeping victory we have dr leslie cochran on who was um named in this suit um and uh a plaintiff in the
00:06:14.700 medical and dental association versus uh bonta i think it it was uh leslie doctor
00:06:22.340 welcome dr cochran are you there okay he's not there um well chris good job on this now my concern is
00:06:34.900 that you know i i'm a an amateur uh self-taught historian my concern is everything that dr mangala did
00:06:43.900 in the 1930s and 40s was up to the law uh it was all legal all those experiments everything
00:06:51.980 um and they started killing children early on and then the people found out and they supposedly
00:06:58.660 stopped it but the medical world behind the backs of the people just kept doing it anyway i'm concerned
00:07:06.460 about the people that could be weeded out at the uh medical school level are are there any blocks for
00:07:16.600 people that have you know christian beliefs or don't believe in all this woke garbage are they being
00:07:24.660 held back is there anybody watching what's being what's happening in the medical schools
00:07:29.260 well sure i think that is a a real concern that we should we should uh care about and and and be
00:07:35.980 be vigilant about and i think it really starts with you know if if uh they are able to if this radical
00:07:44.120 really pro-death agenda is able to weaponize uh the medical profession uh to advance this agenda
00:07:52.660 through legalizing uh physician-assisted suicide uh through legally compelling doctors to participate
00:08:00.060 uh in that practice uh then the medical schools can say you know listen we're just we're just enforcing
00:08:06.280 uh the laws of our state by requiring our medical students to agree to participate in these practices
00:08:13.240 right so we we really have to be attacking these laws head-on yes you know not just saying oh well
00:08:20.240 i guess we'll go along to get along or you know maybe we'll just you know have some of our doctors
00:08:24.980 leave the state of california and go to other states where they can practice medicine in good
00:08:29.460 conscience because the result is um you know that leaves all of the the result is death and the result
00:08:35.880 is that their patients are left behind right with doctors who will participate in the practice of
00:08:40.860 helping them okay i'm i'm told that we have leslie on now doctor are you there yes okay so you are a
00:08:47.840 full-time hospice uh physician when this came down and you were told you must provide the information
00:08:55.540 what happens what happens now when a when a patient says that to you well uh we normally as as
00:09:05.660 physicians especially hospice physicians were talking to people every day about end-of-life
00:09:11.600 issues and and since this law became affect the end-of-life option act initially became a law
00:09:19.340 uh beginning in 2016 i would essentially be able to talk to my patient and say let's talk about what
00:09:26.460 your issues are and what you're concerned about uh you know death uh or physician assisted suicide was
00:09:32.360 never on the table of one of the things that i would ever recommend as a physician as a way to
00:09:37.680 treat someone's symptoms this uh new law that it twisted and removed the protection that had been
00:09:44.880 there for me before uh basically put me in the position of either choosing to violate the law
00:09:50.640 and telling the patient no i am not going to participate in physician assisted suicide
00:09:56.120 that would have essentially uh been something i wouldn't have been allowed to do i would have had
00:10:01.260 to uh participate in the conversation with the patient uh take down their request uh and and note
00:10:08.000 their request in the medical record and then refer them to a physician that would fulfill that request
00:10:13.020 and and of course that is something that myself and and many other physicians would would be a
00:10:20.260 violation of their conscience of their professional ethics and their values and i would have been
00:10:25.840 forced to violate the law or to quit practicing medicine in the state of california both of which
00:10:31.380 are unacceptable it is well you should get out of california for a myriad of reasons but um the uh
00:10:37.560 uh the amazing thing is is everything that is happening right right now is not uh it is being forced
00:10:47.400 individuals are being forced to participate it no matter what your conscience says you are forced
00:10:54.400 to participate and that's just that goes against god i think but it also goes against the the american
00:11:01.820 understanding of everything that is is right and decent you know i you're not forcing me to do
00:11:09.280 something against my will uh and it's a it's a little terrifying but i'm glad you won this thank you
00:11:14.900 for standing up has it has it cost you and has it been worth standing up and and fighting in california
00:11:23.400 well it's worth standing up and fighting and to to tell you the truth uh you know physicians if we
00:11:31.560 don't if we don't stand up for something that we know is wrong or bad or harmful you know to violate
00:11:38.440 our conscience and to participate in a process that we think would be uh unethical you know that's a
00:11:45.340 disservice to the frail the weak and the elderly because what you know it starts with uh it starts with
00:11:51.760 a choice and and you don't have to look beyond our northern border to see in canada where you move
00:11:58.080 from physician-assisted suicide very quickly into euthanasia and and then even into europe where
00:12:04.820 euthanasia without consent can occur so it is important for doctors and people of conscience
00:12:11.960 to stand up and say no i was sworn to protect and to help heal my patients i refuse to participate
00:12:19.560 in their death uh to knowingly give them a medication that they're going to use to end their
00:12:24.680 life uh dr chris thank you very much thanks for the great update keep fighting if you would like to
00:12:32.200 support the alliance defending freedom this is a group of really good attorneys that are going out

00:12:52.760 rate us on itunes my brother from another mother adam curry how are you sir uh glenn twice in one week i
00:13:02.440 don't know what's happening i know it's crazy well i have such a long list of things to talk to you by the
00:13:07.920 way that podcast is off the charts off the charts good you know it was a lot of fun and you're a very
00:13:15.180 gracious host your staff is so wonderful and really i think we could just talk you know without cameras
00:13:20.160 or microphones or anything we just talk anytime about anything i love it i know and we don't
00:13:24.540 necessarily agree on everything but that's totally cool i mean i find you a smart reasonable human being
00:13:30.760 uh and i learn something from you every time anyway um one thing that we didn't get to uh in the
00:13:39.040 podcast which by the way adam curry is the podcast this weekend wherever you get your podcast tomorrow
00:13:44.880 also on youtube and blaze tv it's already there um the one thing we didn't get to is something that i
00:13:52.720 just can't figure out in on in two directions one if 15 years ago 20 years ago we would have said
00:14:04.320 uh yes and spokespeople from the pentagon uh have verified that aliens uh are circling the planet and
00:14:14.700 tracking uh our nuclear sites and we even have a piece of alien technology that would have been a big
00:14:23.620 deal but now now they're saying this and nobody cares and i don't know if you're just so focused on
00:14:31.560 other things if people don't believe it if we should believe it what's going on with the alien thing
00:14:38.240 oh well it's interesting you say 15 years ago because that's literally about the timeline when
00:14:45.020 i started with no agenda and when i started looking into uh into conspiracies uh so-called
00:14:50.980 conspiracies and i really decided pretty quickly that i'm not a conspiracy theorist i'm a conspiracy
00:14:56.160 therapist and this whole this whole life and i actually i did i did a lot of i was living in
00:15:01.940 the uk at the time and i was very into you know aliens and the tall the the tall blondes and the
00:15:09.080 grays and all of this stuff and i flew to places to meet people who claimed to you know know an alien
00:15:15.360 and i never got any any confirmation whatsoever and you're right it's that's also i think because
00:15:22.420 the media is so um you know everything is media now it's not just you know walter cronkite saying hey
00:15:28.780 look uh these uh these pilots are saying that they've seen ufos um so i have looked into this
00:15:35.300 and um there's there's part logical explanation and then there is of course a conspiracy that goes
00:15:41.280 along with it and what we've seen um since i think 2014 is a lot of radar images you know the tic-tac
00:15:48.800 we've seen uh um radar images from submarines where things appear and then disappear and we've seen
00:15:55.480 actual we've seen actual footage they say from uh uh fighter pilots and uh navy and air force pilots
00:16:04.940 recording these things doing things that are way beyond technology at least that we know of
00:16:12.640 well this technology actually has been discussed openly and it's again notice that the footage we're
00:16:22.780 seeing is radar footage it's not cameras that are taking a picture of this thing flying and you know
00:16:31.000 at unbelievable speeds going under the water etc it's radar footage and i it was a harvard professor who
00:16:37.860 in the 70s um started talking about this his name is rob professor robert duncan what this really is
00:16:45.680 these this particular uh phenomenon which i can speak to they're directed energy weapons and i'm not
00:16:51.420 talking about laser beams that melt you or anything but much more like a laser pointer uh in the sky
00:16:57.560 and they excite the electrons in the atmosphere so this ionization that takes place and this shows
00:17:03.080 up on radar and this is military technology that was created to make a fleet appear all of a sudden so
00:17:10.500 the the concept was um you make this all these ships appear all of a sudden our adversary wherever
00:17:16.020 they would be would see this would you know get their fighter planes in the air and go off and try
00:17:20.680 to attack them then they disappear and then we would come in from the other directions and attack
00:17:24.700 that flank um and you know it really is nothing more than that it's really good technology because
00:17:32.280 it actually leaves radar traces it's like it's almost like a laser pointer in the sky and that's and
00:17:37.160 if you think about that tic tac like you're the cat in the fighter plane you look at your radar you see
00:17:42.380 this thing and it goes under the water and all over the place and it does things that seem uh um
00:17:46.820 impossible now the conspiracy part of this is something called project blue beam have you ever heard of
00:17:52.420 that no so project blue beam um the idea and this developed over time as well is that this very
00:18:00.960 technology would be used to create the voice of god um and it could be used two ways uh one to bring
00:18:08.300 the whole world together you know new world order everybody uh all focused on one thing which would
00:18:13.460 either be the common enemy you know oh the aliens are coming or right the voice of god which you could
00:18:20.260 also you can use the same technology to create sound waves which would bring a message to unite the world
00:18:26.060 uh and and i'm pretty steadfast in in believing that this is what this is this is about now why
00:18:32.380 people aren't freaking out about it um there's so much to freak about out about no i know i know but
00:18:38.500 people are obsessed with target yeah but target versus alien life that is here seems uh i would i would tip
00:18:50.260 the scales towards the alien life thing um but uh i just can't figure it i just can't figure it out and
00:18:58.380 why why is the government making such a big deal the pentagon and the leaks and then the officials
00:19:05.780 coming out and saying what they are congress and then no one picking it up it just it just seems
00:19:12.220 really odd yeah i can speaking to the the military and congress that to me would be the blue beam part
00:19:22.540 of it saying hey you know let's get everyone either a very afraid which is kind of the model you know
00:19:27.520 aliens uh or let's unite everybody under one common voice of god you know like reagan you know like
00:19:34.660 get everyone together um why people don't care about it i mean that that literally just has to be
00:19:41.700 because we're so used to fake everything we're looking at screens all day that is not reality
00:19:48.180 we see imagery that is you know created by you know ai call it photoshop ai whatever you want
00:19:55.360 we see uh i mean we're so used to things that are just not real i think we've become
00:20:00.380 anesthetized against it and like yeah whatever yeah we can handle that bring us aliens maybe people
00:20:06.080 will be happy to see it um let me take you to some news uh today uh comer and the house oversight
00:20:15.200 committee says that um there is a five million dollar bribe that joe biden took the fbi has a case on it
00:20:23.720 it's open uh they've buried it he is saying i'm gonna hold you in contempt if you don't uh release
00:20:31.060 those documents because of a whistleblower uh the doj has dropped charges against the soros-backed
00:20:37.720 massachusetts da who was caught lying under oath and meddling in an election um highly illegal she was
00:20:45.720 uh going to be uh resigning her post doj has dropped all charges on that then you have stewart
00:20:53.560 roads the guy from oath keepers who you know i don't think is a good guy but he didn't bring a
00:20:59.020 weapon didn't enter the capital didn't harm anybody wasn't arrested for a year and he got 18 years
00:21:05.740 in prison uh i think we have a problem with our doj uh is this fixable i know we talked in the podcast
00:21:19.760 about you know your uncle and the cia and so we went in pretty deep on uh you know what the cia has
00:21:27.920 been responsible for in the past and i hope people start to care about it um but is is this too far gone
00:21:34.740 well the sooner as we discussed in the podcast the sooner we all realize how captured everything is
00:21:43.360 all of our institutions the sooner we can realize that not only can we change it we actually we have
00:21:50.000 the power to change these things um even congress but by definition of superpower i'm not saying that
00:21:58.540 you need to get money out of politics but also these institutions are also completely captured i mean
00:22:04.720 even even just to get on a committee you need one or two million bucks to give to your party i mean
00:22:09.600 that you get that by raising money you get that by pandering to certain uh uh certain audiences etc
00:22:16.300 um nothing will change unless we seriously understand that we have all the power within our hands i know it
00:22:25.020 sounds like a very simple thing but we can i mean look we're able to through crowdfunding create devices
00:22:31.020 that we want we're able to create the media that we want we're slowly starting to realize and i think
00:22:36.380 tucker carlson was the tipping point in my mind that media and mainstream media is over it's it's done
00:22:44.880 it's totally it's it's irrelevant the blaze is a fantastic uh example of that in fact i think you
00:22:52.380 know people like oh well elon musk hired tucker i don't think so i think tucker's gonna pay elon musk
00:22:57.020 i think it's the other way around this this is the new model you know this it's about the distribution
00:23:02.080 that you that you have in your own hand and people are in one on in one way they're splitting off and
00:23:08.660 and getting into the smaller groups which i think is just fine but when we realize how much power we
00:23:14.120 have to support our own media to support our own institutions to homeschool our kids whatever we want
00:23:19.760 to do the sooner we will realize that we also have the power to elect people that uh we actually want
00:23:26.260 who will make change with that comes the important chevron decision have you been following this the
00:23:31.840 the chevron deference case that's going to the supreme court yes this is this i mean it's it's
00:23:37.040 kind of they've tried to do it before but it's very interesting if this and this is a different
00:23:42.240 supreme court obviously um if they overturn this chevron deference that means that um ambiguous laws
00:23:49.860 that congress creates uh we can be for any agency uh which would be epa but it can also be doj it can
00:23:56.580 be the the epa we're already seeing things changing there that uh congress will either have to clarify
00:24:03.260 it or the supreme court and federal courts can step in and say no you're overstepping your boundary
00:24:08.900 you're not following the law and the toughest one will be the department of justice of course this is
00:24:14.780 the best of the glenbeck program well in a couple of weeks uh you could be a felon if you have one of
00:24:21.320 those evil guns that for years have been totally legal you know the one with the pistol braces
00:24:30.040 uh if you have one and you haven't told the government even though i would never tell the
00:24:40.300 government uh if you have one of these which were perfectly legal until biden came in it was like
00:24:47.960 hey what do you think we can take away some guns uh if you don't destroy that pistol brace uh you're
00:24:55.080 going to be a felon a felon that's awesome now how many of these pistol braces are out there because
00:25:01.620 we've talked about it for a while and you know they're kind of you know it's a niche kind of thing i
00:25:06.860 think yeah yeah so how many do you think or it would be a lot if you saw if you know how many
00:25:12.660 felons is the government going to make overnight a few hundred thousand few hundred thousand well
00:25:18.560 you're close 40 million 40 million of these braced weapons are in circulation today that's more than
00:25:27.740 ar-15s yeah 40 million felons the good thing is they can't arrest us all because they don't have
00:25:36.640 the prison space yay uh you believe that uh no i did not know the number was that high yeah i don't
00:25:43.720 i still don't even i will be honest don't even understand what these weapons are like i don't
00:25:48.040 know i'm gonna bring i'm gonna bring my friends in i'll show you you have your friend has a weapon
00:25:53.380 like my friend has a weapon he might be a felon soon you know but not here in texas because they
00:25:57.140 did they did have a uh some sort of stay for texas mississippi in louisiana and i know you're
00:26:02.600 disappointed now glenn because now you can't be the federal criminal you wanted to be i wanted to
00:26:08.420 be you have a real desire to check out the inner workings of the federal prison system oh you got
00:26:13.840 that right and i want you to know you don't have to be completely disappointed really yes because
00:26:18.840 there's another yeah i can commit another felony oh there's so many there's so many ways for you to
00:26:23.980 get into federal prison wow back there's a book that outlines exactly how to do this it's called
00:26:28.800 how to become a federal criminal an illustrated handbook for the aspiring offender this is mike
00:26:34.940 chase right okay i think he meant this to prove the point that we have way too many laws but i
00:26:40.860 think it was almost tongue-in-cheek it's not like how to really become how to go to prison you could
00:26:45.980 use it that way i think he meant it tongue-in-cheek i think soros da's could use this uh mike welcome
00:26:52.920 hey glenn thanks for having me back you know i'm actually offended i'm offended that you think it
00:26:58.500 was tongue-in-cheek i spent all this time illustrating the best ways to become a federal
00:27:03.480 criminal and you think it's a joke i mean this is hard work well i i will say uh transporting a dirty
00:27:11.060 or leaky egg oh yes that that makes me a criminal i know it's uh it is called a restricted egg in true
00:27:20.460 classic federal government form they've given it a highly technical name but if you read the code and
00:27:25.420 you get right down to it what they prohibited and made a federal crime is just moving around in quote
00:27:32.100 interstate commerce with a dirty egg and the definition of a dirty egg in case you're confused
00:27:37.080 is actually written down in a separate regulation and it is an egg with dirt on it so that that
00:27:42.980 clarifies it for all of us an egg with dirt on it now do i have to cross state lines for this to be
00:27:52.020 a weapon of mass destruction i have great news for you yeah that the federal government in all of its
00:27:58.820 wisdom has developed the notion of interstate commerce to not require interstate anything
00:28:05.660 and so that goes okay back to a supreme court decision yes wicked versus filiburn yeah and
00:28:11.540 basically it says look it's in state uh it could still be interstate because you know look everything
00:28:17.820 is ours and everything affects everything else and so all of these federal regulations that you would
00:28:22.920 think require interstate movement really don't they just okay is it important enough for the federal
00:28:28.900 government to get interested right okay so if i go to the store and i accidentally you know break an egg
00:28:35.500 on the way to the car and i don't call in the hazmat team to get rid of that egg i just transport it
00:28:41.840 to my house i'm a federal criminal your first call should be to me glenn i will represent you free of
00:28:48.860 charge anytime break an egg but yeah and then i will come and we'll you know we'll do a proper session
00:28:53.920 we'll make you a a high level cooperator on the the cracked eggs at your local grocery store i remember
00:28:59.980 there was something in your book about uh spoons because of this i thought immediately my grandmother
00:29:07.220 would be a a massive federal criminal because of her little she has to have those like these little
00:29:15.860 like world's fair spoons mini spoons little mini spoon rack uh look out mr felon it's true it's the
00:29:24.320 first thing i thought of too is like who has miniature spoons and it's always grandmothers yes
00:29:29.280 a dying breed but you're right it's a it's been a federal crime for a long time to mail or transport
00:29:36.000 a miniature spoon because the government is convinced that unless you can affirmatively prove otherwise in
00:29:43.060 other words the burden is on you to prove a legitimate use for your miniature spoon they presume
00:29:48.760 it's because you're going to use it for drug use and in fact there was this robust testimony before
00:29:54.640 congress when the law was getting passed by a woman named joyce in the lepka and she said she was so
00:30:00.740 proud to announce she had just gotten off the phone with the ceo of mcdonald's who had promised to stop
00:30:06.080 distributing the mc spoon coffee stirrer because this would stem the tide of people using it to snort
00:30:13.140 cocaine so oh my gosh forever a federal crime to transport miniature spoons i have to tell you
00:30:20.760 now this would be wrong to do and maybe even a federal crime i don't know but you would know uh
00:30:28.360 i'm very tempted to go to a you know some sort of a secondhand store where they got plenty of these
00:30:36.680 things from all of our grandmothers and then just drop them in a car of somebody who i really don't
00:30:43.640 like then yeah whistle blow and have that spoon confiscated you know what i'm saying yeah i mean
00:30:53.260 i i think we should probably check biden's garage there's probably a collection of uh miniature spoons
00:30:59.260 well they won't arrest yeah but they won't arrest him he's he can have all the spoons he could be
00:31:05.300 he could do a video of him mailing individual spoons to every resident in america and he
00:31:12.980 wouldn't get busted my guess is too if hunter biden has a bunch of miniature spoons they actually
00:31:17.040 probably are used for drugs yes i'm saying probably probably so they have a they have an ability to
00:31:25.460 wave their hand and say these are not the spoons you're looking for so you know what's amazing is
00:31:31.100 this is the way and people don't understand this this is the way dictators become dictators and all
00:31:38.120 powerful um they are there's so many laws on the books you know just show stalin used to or stalin's
00:31:45.300 kgb had used to say show me the person i'll show you the crime and that's exactly right right so uh i mean
00:31:55.180 if they want to get you you don't really have to because even like with the epa and everything that
00:32:00.680 they've just thrown all these things on the books you could they could get you for anything well that's
00:32:08.140 exactly right i mean it it actually doesn't matter what's a crime and what's not a crime anymore
00:32:12.360 because my book and my project has always sort of identified that there virtually is nothing that
00:32:18.040 isn't a crime there we have so many regulations 300 000 federal regulations that have a criminal penalty
00:32:24.480 associated with them that what what what actually happens is congress and the regulators they
00:32:30.620 abdicate all of their crime making authority to the prosecutor to the enforcer so every single
00:32:37.460 criminal prosecution at that point is a product of prosecutorial quote discretion but that that becomes
00:32:44.540 a problem because there's no uniformity there's no actual you know what it says on the seal that that's
00:32:49.800 not justice that's that's win you know and and so that becomes a that becomes a problem because
00:32:55.840 they can pick the defendant first and then figure out the crime later so is this why you started writing
00:33:02.680 this oh absolutely i mean it i started writing it because when i was writing sentencing memos for
00:33:09.840 folks that had been prosecuted i started trying to point out to the courts and say look how ridiculous
00:33:15.560 it is that my client is facing 20 30 years for this because he could just as well be facing 20 or 30
00:33:21.660 years for you know transporting miniature spoons or bringing a dirty you know rake across state lines
00:33:27.940 or throwing away melons without having a good reason what wait wait what oh yeah oh yeah the produce
00:33:36.220 destruction act you know if you have melons interstate melons and you throw them away for no good
00:33:42.340 reason that's a federal crime so i oh man i am tossing all perfectly good melons
00:33:47.800 into susan sarandon's susan sarandon's dumpster this weekend
00:33:53.080 but that's exactly it i mean the the problem was i wanted to illustrate and i dedicated my book to
00:34:00.960 congress because i think you know it's a funny book but the jokes are all theirs and i i basically
00:34:06.100 wanted them to know you know you have to actually see in illustration form what you've done
00:34:12.240 because i don't think the lawmakers know what they've done but they have unleashed this monster
00:34:16.980 federal code well i think i mean that's why the reigns act if it's kept in the uh the bill for the
00:34:23.760 budget that was something that uh i know mike lee has been pushing for and he got it in the bill
00:34:30.160 hopefully will stay there that and the chevron case is they're huge because it forces that lawmaking
00:34:38.020 ability back to congress so if you're stopped and you're charged with leaky egg it'll go to the
00:34:45.220 supreme court and it'll be thrown out unless congress uh says yeah we want to keep that law
00:34:51.600 right well that's right and look in in his quote on the back of my book mike lee said the scariest part
00:34:59.300 of the book is how many of these crimes were created by bureaucrats not congress right so this this
00:35:05.720 all represents you you say congress but this is all a massive departure from what the constitution
00:35:10.380 said congress should do article one section one right they are the lawmakers but they said no you
00:35:15.340 know what give it to the executive branch they'll figure it out and there you have senator mike lee is
00:35:21.720 saying that he finds the scariest part of this the fact that the agency bureaucrats whose names you don't
00:35:26.600 know you've never met these people they're the ones making the crimes not even congress so you know i
00:35:32.400 saw that biden the doj dropped all charges against the soros backed massachusetts da because she was
00:35:39.600 lying under oath she was interfering on an election all things that we know she did but they just decided
00:35:48.120 the doj has just decided they're not gonna charge her with that meanwhile they are charging a guy who had
00:35:55.700 a lit torch uh because it's illegal to have a a lit object in virginia that could intimidate and uh you
00:36:08.440 know he's not i'm not saying he's a good guy but wait a minute hang on just a second and it's all up to
00:36:14.360 the prosecutors and their discretion this is completely out of control can you get a fair for instance in uh
00:36:23.440 in uh washington dc i don't think you can get a fair trial there can you well yeah i'll tell you dc
00:36:31.600 when i was uh when when when i was just becoming a lawyer i i clerked for the u.s attorney's office
00:36:37.280 down there and and i remember watching jury trials in the district and i will say that they had one of
00:36:42.760 the highest uses of jury nullification of any place but that's that's a far cry that's sort of the
00:36:50.660 the day-to-day criminal prosecution when it comes to the political prosecution that you're talking
00:36:56.020 about i i think that the the opposite is true you are seeing a much higher conviction rate and you're
00:37:03.180 seeing a much higher prosecution rate of people for what are purely political reasons and so i i i tend
00:37:10.200 to agree so on the one hand yes in in dc you're going to see a lot more people using jury nullification
00:37:15.800 which is a good thing it's basically jurors taking the law back into their own hands and saying we
00:37:19.900 disagree with this but on the other hand i i think that the wide perception and this is something i
00:37:25.700 warned about in a wall street journal op-ed back in you know 20 uh i want to say 6 18 i said the rise
00:37:32.940 of political prosecution is going to be completely unchecked and it is going to be you know more
00:37:38.920 prosecutions we hear about are going to be political one oh you're already there happened yeah we're
00:37:43.420 there um i've only got about 20 seconds so from defcon 5 to defcon 1 where are we on the scale of
00:37:50.840 danger with our with the fbi and doj no we're there i mean we're there because because all that matters
00:37:58.820 is trust in the justice system and i think that's at an all-time low so when that's at an all-time low
00:38:03.260 defcon is at an all-time high all right thank you so much god bless and uh don't don't thank you for
00:38:10.420 letting me know if i travel with a dirty egg it could be the slimmer yeah i was sent up the river
00:38:17.840 with my dirty eggs glenn we just got this in from lynette she says dead serious currently traveling
00:38:23.140 from iowa to nebraska with eggs i didn't wash yet a couple are pretty dirty where do i turn myself in
00:38:30.360 after i deliver them to my 80 year old mother just just give us your address stop your car
00:38:36.640 give us your gps coordinates we'll send in the feds
00:38:39.560 you
