guess who is really hoping that he gets everything on
his wish list. He'd like to add to that collection
of inflatable Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He's asking

(01:06):
for an inflatable statue of Liberty and the inflatable George
Washington crossing the Delaware. Oh, I hope he gets it.
My best see you and yours, Chuck Ingram on fifty
five KRC Deep Talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Right next to your inflatable Senator Grand Paul Judge Andrew Nepolitano. Yes,
it is the last segment with the Judge for the year,
but we're going to continue to hit the ground running
next year. God hopeful, welcome back your honor. And I
tell you man, good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Good morning, Brian. And Ingram is over the top with the.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Inflatables, he is, But you got a farm, you at
least have room for them. You know, your average neighborhood
lot couldn't handle all the inflatables that he's been suggesting
you need for your yard. Anyway, I made all of
this talk about drones. You have no idea how delighted
I was to read your column, which I am so

(02:04):
lucky to have early shoot the drones. Yes it is
legally based, Yes it is constitutionally based, and yes it
does contemplate the idea conceptually anyway of someone shooting the
damn drone down. It's flying over their property. So welcome back.
Let us enjoy this conversation. First off, our lords and

(02:25):
masters in elected capacity had to have yet another secret
behind closed doors meeting to talk about these aircraft that
are clearly flying around. Since everybody and his brother, it's
no longer some random farmer with a Kodak taking a
picture of a UFO in his backyard. No, we have
thousands of videos of drones flying around your backyard. I

(02:46):
think you even mentioned in the column you had seen one,
But I did.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I saw one. I don't want people to think that
I think it was aimed at me, but I saw it.
I looked at it, and it came toward me, and
then it disappeared. It just took off. Excuse me, hit
the mic. It took off in a flash. But since
I wrote this column, an event has occurred which you
just mentioned, and that is a secret briefing to the

(03:14):
House Intelligence Committee. Why secret, right? Why do we not know?
We who are suffering on the ground with strange, enormous
lights in the sky looking at us and looking at
our property. Why are we not informed what's going on?
What kind of a representative government. Is this when they

(03:36):
keep secrets from us? Do they work for us or
do we work for them?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Exactly the point that you have made over and over
and I have made over and over. I think this
is the end of my eighteenth year in radio made
that point a million times. This is our money at work.
Our elected officials are the ones that provide oversight and
also allocate cash to the various behind the scenes organizations
which presumably own and operate these R SUV sized drones

(04:03):
or not, as the case may be. But at least
they could be honest with us to tell us where
they come from and what they're doing flying around. I
think we can handle that.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Must be they must be government drones. My intelligence community
people who asked me not to quote them in the article,
believe that these came from a naval base somewhere in
Virginia and are following a typical pattern that the Navy
uses when it tests out new aircraft to go up

(04:33):
the East coast. But obviously these are either manned by
human beings or programmed with AI. Because when both the
New Jersey State Police helicopter approached one of these, and
when an NYPD helicopter approached one over the over the

(04:53):
Hudson River separates New York and New Jersey. The drune
took off, So either AI directed it to take off
whenever another object came within a certain distance, or someone
manually operating this from a studio somewhere saw the helicopters

(05:16):
approaching and took off. As I understand it, neither helicopter
was equipped with heavy duty firearms to take this down,
and helicopter pilots do not shoot unless it's to save
their lives. So the purpose of these things going up
there was just to look at them. It should have
gone up there to capture them.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Well, exactly why? Because our government has said they don't
know where these things come from, and in the next
breath have the audacity to say, but you and the
American people have nothing to worry about. Now, how can
you reconcile those two statements? That's where all the conspiracy
theories come from. It's almost as if they want them.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
And then in the third breath to say, either way,
we'll give members of Congress a secret briefing in the
skiff that's one of the two or three secret rooms
in the basement of the Capitol Building. Where the members
of Congress cannot bring any writing materials or any digital

(06:19):
equipment in there with them and are sworn to secrecy. Now,
if one of them did what Senator Diane, the late
Senator Dianne Feinstein did, and that is taken outrageous secret
and reveal it on the floor of the Senate, they
cannot be prosecuted for doing so because of the speech

(06:43):
and debate clause. However, they would probably no longer be
invited to these secret briefings. But one of them should
be courageous enough to tell the rest of us what
the hell they learned so that we can sleep at night.
And has that happened?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Not yet, not yet. And the other component is if
every word you said you heard was true, that these
are they do belong to us. They're flowing this flight pattern,
they're testing out the equipment you just said it. And
if I take it at face value and know it
to be one hundred percent true, you know what, I'm
gonna go ahead and live my life. That is not
earth shattering, That doesn't bother me. In fact, it should
give me some measure of comfort that we have this

(07:21):
type of technology and they're at least testing it out
because they probably need it for some legitimate purpose down
the road. But the American people can handle it. And presumably,
since they let Chinese balloons fly over our country gathering
up all kinds of data before finally shooting them down
over the Atlantic, we've already got this bad feeling in
the back of our head that these could be foreign

(07:45):
actors doing it and gathering our intelligence and our data
flying around. I mean, we should know.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's worth a foreign actor looking at me on my farm,
or the government looking at me on my farm and
rarely of the Fourth Amendment and denying it and using
our tax dollars with which to do it. In either case,
it's terrifying. Right, the government knows it's an explanation and

(08:11):
the government should stop this. The government obviously knows what's
going on. Trump said, the government knows what's going on.
He also said, no, I know he can be a
little hyperbolic at times, but he also said he's not
going to his home in New Jersey while these things
are in the air. And he also said if this
happens on his watch, he'll order the DoD or DHS

(08:32):
to shoot them down. From the White House, we have
gotten crickets.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Crickets, which leads us to all types of conclusions about
whether Biden even knows the issue is out there and about.
But certainly his lords and masters and puppet string controllers
do know, and they could do something about an issue
of proper statement to the American people about it. But
what of the idea since our federal government is not

(08:58):
protecting us, and local law enforcement clearly is not capable
of protecting us. We've been told that it is unlawful
to shoot them down, and I understand liability reasons for that,
but that would be perhaps civil liability. Perhaps it could
be criminal liability for discharging a firearm in a neighborhood
or something. But it's my property, it's your property, it's

(09:20):
your airspace, and somebody's snooping around if it's within you know,
maybe double ot buckshot range. I think it seems to
me to be a reasonable thing to shoot the damn
thing down.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Same here, if I knew it was over my property
and was going to fall on my property, I would
take it down. I mean, I might call my.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Shooting instructor, who's also my neighbor and who is an
expert to marksmen, and who feels the same way about
this that you and I do, but I would take
it down.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I haven't seen it since Friday night last week when
I saw this thing, So it remains to be seeing
what's going to happen now after this secret meeting in
which only certain people can learn about it and they
are sworn to the secrecy. What the hell kind of
a democratic government is that when the people we elect

(10:17):
are prohibited from telling us what they know about the government,
when the government knows more about us than we know about.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
The government, It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is this what Madison and Jefferson left us?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Well, clearly not. They are rolling over in their graves,
And if they were here today, I am certain that
they would have some very harsh words and probably some
utterances that would violate sec compliance rules here on the
Morning Show. But they aren't, and sadly, we are not
living in the land that they conceived and gave us.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
You know, when the States formed the federal government, they
gave sixteen unique discrete powers to the federal government and
retained everything else. And one of the powers they retained
is public safety. But Congress has written laws that have
given itself the power to regulate public safety. So the
state police with whom I spoke actually, we're fearful of

(11:12):
violating federal law by shooting this thing down, So the
Feds won't shoot it down. The Feds have taken the
authority away from the state to shoot it down. The
Feds are threatening me. If you shoot it down, We're
going to come after you. What kind of a society
is this. I have a natural right to defend myself,
and the State of New Jersey has the power to

(11:32):
protect me. And the federal government wants to negate both
my natural right to defend myself and the power of
the state to defend and protect me and my property.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Hmm. I think a combination of nineteen eighty four and
Fahrenheit four fifty one going on right before a.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Very odd wonder what that thing could see? I wonder
if it could see my eyelashes. I mean, it appeared
to be about one thousand feet away from me, But
I just wonder what it was looking for in the dark.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, you know, I'll tell you what you're honor. I
just had the experience the second time in my life.
I was invited to go to Camp Addterbury in Indiana
and shot fifty BMGs with Navy seals and I was
hitting targets at fourteen hundred yards, so that's within distance
right there, your honor, Just saying, just saying, I hope
you have a thing.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Can I tell you that my times with you on
the radio and streaming and wherever else this goes are
so gratifying and I will.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Miss you for the next two weeks, but welcome the
opportunity to do.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
This again in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
It is the happiest fifteen minutes of the week for me.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
God bless you. I feel the same way.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Man.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
It is such a distinct honor to be in a
position to talk with you regularly about these so important
issues that so many people obviously have lost sight of
constitutional freedoms and speaking of freedom, and before I wish
you in another merry Christmas and happy holidays judging freedom.
Who are you gonna be talking with today?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (13:08):
I have the Great Colonel Douglas McGregor on at one
o'clock this afternoon, along with Mado Filtereraldi and Aaron Mate.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Throughout the day. Great Live McGregor is one of my
tent polls. As we say in this business, spikes the ratings,
and he has some very interesting observations on America's next war,
Oh Wow, which he predicts will be against Iran, even
though Iran poses no zero national security threat whatsoever to

(13:43):
the United States.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Amen to that, I can't agree with that. More judging freedom.
