Is Congress Really Shocked At NSA Revelations Or Just Oscar-Worthy Actors?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – While common defense is a lofty goal and one of the lofty aspirations of our federal constitution, it is not the only loft aspiration. People act as though the defense from terrorist madmen is the only thing our government is supposed to protect us from. The way our government is constructed, it is also supposed to protect us from government. Government can be as malicious a force for evil acted upon the American people or the peo….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The Fourth Amendment is just in case they exceed their authority or someone is tempted. Remember that the amendments are inserted to further regulate the powers, to further conscript the powers of the new general government. That’s the doctrine. That’s what the preamble to the Bill of Rights says. The amendment is there to inhibit or prohibit the creation of the agency or the extension of the power to start with. In other wo….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If culture says, “No big deal. Who cares? We have no expectation of privacy. You guys need to shut up and stop railing against it,” then you’re going to have a state that is going to do exactly what is permissible. Designing men are always going to accrue power where there is least resistance for it. If they can acquire and accrue that power, they are most certainly going to pursue it. They are going to try and gain as mu….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I don’t think that the Chinese army is going to steam up the Mississippi River just yet. But if they did, do you mean to tell me that the citizens of New Orleans, Louisiana or the surrounding parishes, if it were a land invasion, could not provide the first line of defense if they were adequately trained and armed, awaiting then the raising of a standing army?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I tell you what, this terrorism racket is the national security gift that just keeps on giving the whole decade long, maybe the whole millennia long. If we could just find this Mohammed character, if we could silence that guy, then we could end all this, couldn’t we? Oh, wait, he’s a prophet and a spirit, a god. Yeah, he died back in the 8th century. We’re not going to be able to find him. That means as long as there are t….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I’ve got a question for you. I don’t know if you guys saw it in the articles about Snowden, but he said that the NSA had the ability to even spy on the President of the United States. I guarantee you that if they had the ability to do it, you know they probably monitored some calls, looked through his emails. Obama has to know that now. I just don’t understand why he’s not even upset about that. Check out today’s trans….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Apparently we can also deduce that our fellow citizens don’t much care if a member of the other political party is being tyrannized against, is being targeted for retribution or for harassment by the government. As long as when we’re in power, meaning we the red state or we the red party, if we get to tyrannize the people of the blue party and the blue states, it all works out in the end. That is quite, well, number one it’s ….Continue

We Were Warned About Big Brother But We Didn't Listen - 1984 Is Here

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There is nothing that you cannot imagine now that the general government is not either A, capable of, or B, has not already done. Whether it’s snooping, spying, eavesdropping, going through your mail, following you -- especially if you’re a reporter for Fox News named James Rosen -- or whatever the case may be. For all I know, maybe I was tailed yesterday by an FBI agent on my way from Madisonville, Louisiana all the way to Met….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Did you ever think that your political alliances, particularly in foreign policy, would come from so many different factions that would not traditionally be thought of as likeminded on anything, like libertarians want to legalize marijuana, the anti-war left, those on the right like Pat Buchanan that has a similar view on foreign policy? The view towards foreign policy is really forming some strange new alliances, don’t you think?….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – In other words, if you have a Verizon phone and if you have used it since April the 25th, your phone call has now been logged, the metadata has been logged, and it has now been transmitted to the National Security Agency so that they can determine whether or not you are guilty or innocent. What’s wrong with that picture? Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

James Rosen And Julian Assange Are Guilty Of The Same "Crime"

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The Economist, a magazine operated out of the UK, has a story yesterday titled, “Fox News and Julian Assange.” This is interesting. Yesterday we talked, I and Andrew, about the comparison between what James Rosen did and what Julian Assange was doing. As the Economist very thoughtfully goes through this and goes through the story, they conclude that what Rosen did and what Assange did are the exact same thing. Check out today….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Folks, some of us have been warning you and warning the country and warning our fellow countrymen about this awful thing called the AUMF, the Authorization to Use Military Force. This will allow never-ending wars to continue. Congress doesn’t have to authorize them. They don’t actually have to authorize them. Then they don’t have to vote on them. They don’t have to vote on two-year-long appropriations to support the wars….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Remember, we goaded Gorbachev into a military buildup that the non-capitalist Soviet Republics could not match because they didn’t have blue jeans, Neil Diamond and McDonald’s and we did. Now we have been goaded by some in Islamic circles into doing the exact same thing, but that logic doesn’t apply to us because we have McDonald’s, blue jeans, and Neil Diamond.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Did a mob of terrorists kill American citizens? Yes. Could the Obama administration have thwarted the mob of terrorists? I haven’t seen any convincing evidence for this unless you want to go back, again, to the original sin and you want to say that had the Obama administration and the president not participated in the unconstitutional act of war that precipitated the assassination of the leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, okay, t….Continue

The Quest For Equality Leads To Radical Autonomy And Mass Murderers

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I’ve talked on this show in the past about a term that a colleague had coined: radical autonomy. It’s pretty much the same thing. Most people today are radically autonomous. There is no higher authority other than your own conscience. The only higher authority we have is the blind, relentless, silly, and I think misguided pursuit of total equality. You’ll never achieve it. It does not happen in nature. I don’t think it….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why are members of the war party out there stumping for war in Syria? This is just perplexing and it’s so damn frustrating. I have this member of Congress, Tom Cotton, who is on Meet the Half-Court Press yesterday. “The United States should arm opposition fighters in Syria and create a no-fly zone over the war-torn nation,” Representative Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on NBC’s Meet the Press. What interest do the people of Arkan….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – As a matter of fact, I have a very provocative piece of email that came my way yesterday. Do you remember yesterday we had a very robust discussion about whether or not the federales ought to continue in their vaunted position as seeking out terrorists or pursuing terror masterminds of first resort? I was making the case yesterday that it was the citizens of the Boston area and a sort of vigilant public that actually apprehended th….Continue

Local Law Enforcement Could Do A Better Job Than The Feds

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – To say, like Congressman King and others are saying, that we don’t have a large enough presence here or that there’s something lacking in the surveillance state, I think, is ridiculous. You guys were served this kid up on a platter and decided, “He’s not our guy. Nothing to see here. Let’s move along.” So when the government has an unbelievable failure on its track record, you can’t sue them to correct it. No one i….Continue

9/11 Hijackers And Tsarnaev Brothers Were All Legal Immigrants - So What's The Immigration Solution?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – My understanding of the Tsarnaev brothers is that they came here with their father in 2003 and then asked for and were recognized as having sought political asylum. They did not want to be returned back to Chechnya or Dagestan, which is the country they were actually from. They asked us for asylum and were granted it. As the story showed, one applied for citizenship and it was granted, and the other was in the process of applying ….Continue

Was Secession A Constitutional Right? 1868 Book Concluded It Was. "It was in 1833, for the frst time in the history of the country, that it was solemnly asserted and argued, that the Constitution of the 'United States was not a compact between the States. This new doctrine simultaneously put forth, by Mr. Justice Story in his "Commentaries on the Constitution of the 'United States," and by Mr. Daniel Webster in "the greatest intellectual effort of his life," that is, in his great speech in the Senate of the I6th of February, 1833. In order to show that the Constitution is not a compact between the States, the position is assumed, that it is not a compact at all. If it be a compact, say they, then the States had a right to secede. But it is not a compact; and hence secession is treason and rebellion. The great fundamental questions, then, on which the whole controversy hinges are, first, Is the Constitution a compact? and, secondly, Is it a compact between the States?" - Albert Bledsoe, Was Secession A Constitutional Right (1868)
