Welcome back everybody. This is the second episode of 2023. Can you believe it? This week’s half over and so is this March. Hey, listen, if you’d like to start receiving our newsletter, it’ll start publication in the first part of February.
Leave us your name and your email address and we’ll put you on our mailing list. Look Patrick’s ready to go. My name is Chris Williams and you’re listening to the Constitution Commandos. Uh, I got a t-shirt coming out that says, uh, band idiots, not guns. Yeah, guns are not the problem. We got a bunch of kids running around Jackson waving guns around.
They think it makes ’em feel special or. Respected or something. And they get really nervous when somebody’s like me, just ask them, do you think that gun scares me? I’m not worried about that gun. I’m worried about the idiot behind the trigger.
Well see. And, and, and these, the generation of today, if you were to tell them that even when you and I were in school and before, man, everybody that came to school had a rifle in their truck.
Rear glass had a pistol in the glove box. And they go on everybody as soon as they get outta school. . Yeah. Everybody had a freaking gun all the time on school campus. People weren’t getting, and people weren’t getting shot. Right. And if you tell somebody of this generation today that, that even ha happened, they won’t believe it.
They wouldn’t believe it. Mm-hmm. They, there’s no way they’d believe it. Oh no. But guns kill people. Well, no. Guns kill people.
Do idiots that think y’all can vote at 16 or think you know what’s best and you know your parents let you have free reign. Mm-hmm. . Mm. You’s the reason why Fourex hadn’t even developed yet. Yeah. And the ones that are scared of toxic masculinity, the ones that refuse to have ever gotten in a fight. Right.
Y’all are the ones that are too quick to go to guns. Cause if you don’t ever get punched in the face once or twice, you don’t realize that you’ll heal from it once or twice. An as whooping as an ass whooping, that’s it. Man. That was punched in the face
more than twice as second grade by one guy with the four big guys holding me down.
Didn’t help anybody. You
know, , but Yeah. But if people don’t get their asses handed to ’em once or twice Yeah. They don’t, they will never understand that you do heal from that. Mm-hmm. , you know, now they’re so scared to get hit. They run for a gun, the first thing they do is go for a gun. Yep. Oh, he was gonna hit me.
That big old boy was gonna hit me. Well let them, you and the big old boy maybe need to get into a fight and you’ll realize that moment of pain, you grow out of it.
You learn from it. You better learn from it.
Oh, you gonna learn from it. You will learn from it there. You know, only a truly stupid person will not learn from cause pain teaches.
Yep. Pain Bill’s character. You know, that’s one of the things that I loved about doing PT with the Marine Corps. Cause they always said, pain just lets you know you’re still alive. It’s a motivator. We just leaving the body. That’s it. It’s a motivator. And if you don’t feel the little pain, you know, I actually was talking to one of the doctors at the VA before I had my surgery and they were wanting to get, they were asking me if I needed, now, this is before my surgery, they were gonna gimme some norcos for pain.
and I said, no, I don’t want ’em. And, and they said, well how do you manage your pain? I said, deal with it. And they said, you sure you don’t want some norcos to knock the edge off or something? And I said, no. I said, because if I numb the pain at all, I’ll probably do more damage to myself simply cause I can’t feel it.
You know, I’m more apt to be cautious if I can feel the pain than if I don’t feel the pain. And I got that
strange look like, but on top of that, they could give a rat’s ass about your pain level. They don’t care. They just want you on
drugs. No, big pharma is what gives them their paycheck. So I mean,
yeah, that’s all they care about.
They could care less if you’re in pain or not. If you’re dealing with discomfort. They want that dang paycheck and they wanna feed the monster. Well, you know, when I got
done with my surgery, they told me to stop by the pharmacy and pick up my norcos and I said, uh, if it’s all the same to you, I’d just assume I get Toradol.
And they said, why do you want Toradol? And, and the doctor said, don’t you mean tramadol? I said, yeah, it works pretty good for my brother. I said, but it doesn’t do much for me at all. I said, Toradol on the other hand, is it works really well for me and it’s a non-narcotic. That’s what I’m wanting. They said, they said, went and checked with the doctor.
I guess it was a nurse I was talking to, and they came back and said, the doctor refused to give me Toradol. Just go pick up my Norcos. No . I don’t want the Norcos .
Yeah. I mean, it, it’s no different than, you know, I mean, and, and I just, but you know, they’ve given me oxycodone, hydrocodone, they’ve given me so many things, you know, cause of my codeine allergy, I’m, I’m restricted on what I can and can’t take.
Right. Well, I went in, in, I told ’em it doesn’t work. If there was something else they could give me. And the first thing, well they asked me, they said, well, what. Helps ease the pain for you. And I told ’em honestly, I said, marijuana. Yeah. You know, and it wasn’t like I was just looking to just go blaze.
Right. That was the one thing that actually, it didn’t, it didn’t take away the pain, it made it tolerable. Right. And what they were giving me did nothing to me. I mean, it was a futile thing. Why am I even taking this? I get zero relief. It doesn’t make it tolerable. It doesn’t do anything. Well, then they said, well, the only thing we can give you is Oxycontin.
And I’m like, Oxy, Oxycontin. The first thing you think of is you wanna put me on basically heroin Addicted. Addicted. I mean, I’m is like, I don’t want a damn Oxycon . Yep. Well, you know, uh, walk outta there with nothing. Well,
you know Scott Sims, I was talking to him one day and uh, I had gotten some pain medicine from the va, but I wasn’t taking it.
and I don’t know. No, you know, Scott had, when he got out of the Marines that he broke his back. They had given him some, uh, I guess it was Oxycontin. But anyway, he got to where he liked taking ’em and man, he was telling me, man, if you don’t have to take them pain meds, don’t take ’em, he sick cuz I’m gonna tell you it’s a vicious cycle getting off of it.
And I said, I agree. I said, but that’s not why I don’t take ’em. I don’t take ’em cuz I’d rather feel the pain than not. I don’t wanna hurt myself more than I’m already hurting . So, but, but you talked to any of, you know, most of the guys coming out of the military, especially guys that did, you know the things that you did.
you know, they get those heavy narcotics and they end up getting addicted and next thing you know, now they gotta have a dual diagnosis to deal with the PTSD T S D that the government got ’em hooked on. You know what I mean? It’s, and it’s all about making money. It’s all about making money. Oh, yeah.
Well, I, I don’t play their silly little game and, you know, I mean, I, I, the only pain, I mean, the only medication I get now, and, and, and I, I mean, don’t get me wrong, I mean, I do take ’em at times.
Yeah. Um, well, if you’re like me, you’ll
take it when you just about can’t bear the
pain no more. Yeah. If you see me taking anything, I don’t care if it’s a BC or I don’t care what it is. Hey, if I’ve taking something, it’s because one, I’ve already been dealing with it. And two, it’s, it’s, it, it’s time to do something.
I mean, I’ve, I’ve done, I’m about to lose my wits over the discomfort levels. Yeah. So, but that’s the way I am. It’s like Selita and I went to New Orleans for our honeymoon one time, or not a honeymoon, our anniversary. And I was actually gonna race down there that weekend. And we get down there, we get in the room, and my back was hurting.
And I, I mean, I managed it well in the car going down there. But after we got there, I mean, I started it, it was just getting worse and worse and worse. I mean, we went out to eat, we did, you know, our evening and it, it was just progressively declining my condition. Yeah. And the, the next day I was confined to a wheelchair.
Well, I literally, I had to get to the hotel to bring me a wheelchair and I didn’t take my muscle relaxers with me. You know what I mean? Cause I, I rarely take, anyway, we got home, I took a muscle relaxer and I was a thousand percent better. , but the muscle relaxer is the only pill or prescription that I get from the va I will not take, I never feel my pain pills hurt like hell all the time round the clock.
I mean, there is not a moment where I don’t hurt. Right. But the muscle relaxer is the only thing that provides a level of relief that when I am at my worst, I’ll take
it, well say now that’s me with the Neurotin, which is basically a nerve pain pill. I got the sciatica and I deal with that all the time.
But not to mention, my ankles rolling out from under me because I mess them up pretty good in the military. But you know, I’ve got like probably three or four months worth of subs, subscription, I mean prescriptions that I don’t take, you know? Yeah. But when it gets bad, well, I’ll go take one. I took one one day and Laura looked at me and she said, did you just take a ne rotten
I was like, yeah, I’m hurting. And that’s when I’m basically crying cuz I’m hurting. I mean, when I get a point where I can’t move and it’s hurting so bad, I can’t see and. . I, I’ll go ahead and take one, but I try not to take ’em even then. But, but anyway. Have you heard anything more on the Carry Lake
deal down in Arizona?
I have not. I know she was turned down by the Arizona Supreme Court. Yeah. Um, they didn’t even look at chance to take it. Yeah. She’s gotta go to the appellate court and, uh, I, I really haven’t h heard much more about it. You know, I, I don’t know exactly where it stands. Uh, I firmly believe that she has a, a case.
I think that not only the case, she had the votes. I think it’s one more blatant sign that the judici judiciary or the judicial system mm-hmm. is compromised. Um, I, I just. I’m almost speechless. There was enough stuff provided and it was public knowledge over that election that totally tells me that the election was fraudulent or tempered with like, well, there was overwhelming.
She had the votes. Not if for no other reason. I mean, Arizona’s a border state. Well, we’re all border states now. Yeah. But Arizona’s a border state. They are all fed up with the, the trampoline of these illegals coming into our country. And it was pretty well known that even the Democrats that were fed up with the system they’ve got, were voting for Kerry Lake.
And I mean, what I saw anyway from the election results, and not what was reported on the news, but what was investigated, Carrie Lake won that thing by a
landslide. Yeah. But see the things that, okay, see, this is the thing that I have question with. Okay. The Arizona Constitution. Now granted I haven’t read the Arizona Constitution, so I’m, I’m, what I’m going to say is what I’m going to say based off of people that do live in Arizona.
Mm-hmm. that have cited Arizona, constitution has studied it. Alright. Number one, the only thing the court requires is for there to be, uh, enough people that have a doubt in the way, just a doubt of the validity of the election. Okay? Now you’ve got all of these people in Republican areas and their accounting machines didn’t work.
Okay. So you had people waiting in lines for hours and many of them left without voting because the lines were so long and, and it wasn’t ever going anywhere. You know, they were just sitting there. Right. So a level of disenfranchisement basically. There are, so they don’t even
really know that the election machines weren’t working, right?
That’s just
what they were told? No, the, the tabulator machines were not working. Oh, okay. Because the doc, I mean, the damn ballots were printed in the wrong size format because, so that the tab, uh, what tabulate machine would not even scan it cause it was the wrong size. Oh. And this only happened in deep Republican districts like Coachees
and Maricopa County.
Correct. And it was a shit load of them. And these changes were admittedly done right before, like a day before the election. Yeah. Admittedly, okay. You already have a,
don’t have confidence. Well, say that again to the Arizona. You went out, the people of Arizona do not have co full confidence that has been proven and substantiated Well, according to the Arizona constitution. I mean, nobody’s said that they won’t, you know, don’t just go give it straight to Kerry Lake, do another election, pay for ballots.
Well, that’s what needs
to be done anyway across the country.
Well, I know, but see, I, I just. I think that a lot of people that have paid attention to the Arizona election have come to the conclusion that ju judicial system, I mean, I don’t wanna say as a whole, but damn near as a whole, people have no confidence anymore.
Yeah. Well, and
people are losing confidence, not just in the judicial system, but everything. Government, period.
I mean, yes. But the judicial system is supposed to be our last Yeah. Tion of hope. That’s right. As as Americans, that’s supposed to be what guarantees. Well, the Constitution guarantees our freedoms, but the, the judicial system is supposed to be where when we have a grievance, that’s one of our rights.
Yep, that’s right. And when people lost faith in that. Not just the government, but that’s, yeah. That is our check on the government, our last stand
against the government. Yeah.
And, and people have lost complete faith in it now. And that’s the worrying part of the Arizona election to me, is that the loss of confidence when people quit feeling like our system is legitimately run with democratic, democratic principles in the sense of the elections as a republic, when people lose that confidence, it’s over.
Yeah.
I, I, I think we’re pretty close to that too. Yeah. You think about all the immigration that’s coming here right now, we’re already losing our identity as Americans. . Yeah. And you know, then you lose the confidence in the system that’s, that was established for the people. You know, you don’t have anything really now.
I mean, like you said, once you lose the confidence, at least in the judicial system, you have absolutely nothing. So what do you fight for now? What do
you stand for? And since that is basically the arm of the government that has been commissioned with settling grievances and, and not just that, then you have to look at the enforcement arm.
People have lost faith in both of those. And yeah, it’s, yeah, definitely
in the enforcement side, when you talk about the F FBI especially,
I mean, well even just regular police departments, man, right? It, it’s just become. So we live in a Banana Republic, man, it’s, well, Guatemala
population’s only 150 right now.
So ,
I mean, well, I think Biden now, after he left El Paso, well, while he was in El Paso, he actually went, he said, yeah, but only after the mayor rounded up all the illegals, housed them in gymnasiums and so forth, and in community centers to get ’em off the street that way it wouldn’t be bad optics for when president was there.
Oh, so doesn’t come back and continue the line. There’s not a problem.
Well, yeah, but, but now he said that he’s gonna start flying 30,000 illegals a month into the country. They won’t even have to cross the border. He is gonna fly ’em. Are you kidding me? When did he say this? Not. While he was in El Paso. Oh my God.
Well, this is the plan. This is definitely the plan.
Definitely. That is their plan. For sure. I just hope, I just hope more states, governors start acting like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis and start sending some of these illegals to places like New York and Martha’s Vineyard. And I mean, song’s gotta be done though,
about stopping it.
Well, we also need, uh, what do they call it, of the states where they all come together? It takes like what Yeah. Majority votes. Yeah. What, what the heck is that called again? And I, I just, my mind just junk ship. I don’t know why I’m, I
know what you’re talking about and I can’t, um, the word that comes to mind is quorum, but that’s not it.
Quo. No. Yeah. But it’s like a union of the states. I can’t, but they come together and override the federal government and. That’s kind of what we need right now, man. And
yeah, but we got a problem with that too, cuz we got our, our states are now so, so divided is
unreal. Well, I mean,
and you’d have to have a majority of the states to override whatever the federal government’s doing.
Oh yeah. And I don’t think we’d have that. Yeah.
I,
I don’t know if we do. It’s close,
real close. Well, I mean, right now you have some people in Oregon, you’ve got a number of counties in Oregon. The eastern part of the state of Oregon are trying to become Idaho right now.
Yeah, I’d heard about that. Which is kind of surprising from Oregon
and, well, from my understanding, the eastern part of Oregon is, Deep red, they are not Democrats.
Right. And they are disgusted with the way their Democratic government or their Democrat run government is governing, governing governing gov Governing. Yeah. Governing them. . And so they’re literally trying to become Idaho. Yep. And
well, I I think that some of the communities in Idaho now, they’re, um, I mean, they’re not e you know, there are elections that they’re holding just for their, um, their municipalities.
The people that are running on those ballots, they can’t put an r d by their name. They’re run as individuals. They talk about their policies they’re running on or the platform they’re running on, and that’s it. And you could talk about whether they’re a democratic Republican after the election, but you’re not gonna know what they are during the election.
And quite frankly, I think that’s the way it needs to be anyway. Because I mean,
you know Democrats too, people to just vote party well, the
way there’s that, but you know, you said, what do you call it again? A uni party? Yeah, yeah. I mean that’s pretty much what it is. And the Democrat, the Democrat tag and the Republican tag, all that does is give you a couple of people standing at a microphone throw, throwing mud at each other about their policies and how they voted and how dirty their underwear is so that the people could feel like they voted for somebody.
You take that D in that R up their name, and I guarantee you, you’ll hear more policy talk than you will slamming. And yeah, quite frankly, I don’t remember hearing too many debates, period when politicians actually talked about the policies they were running on. . It was just bashing their opponent. That’s why I quit watching political debates
years ago.
Well, I mean, and that is what it is. It’s just bash bashing, bashing your opponent. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that’s why they have such large amounts of people in their campaigns, you know, to go through and do a bunch of op research. I mean, it’s just, go find mud. Yeah. We don’t care What, I don’t care if they were in third grade, go find some mud on ’em.
Which is
absolutely ridiculous because by the time, and you know, the Democrats do it and the Republicans do it too, those political candidates that run on those tickets, especially at the highest levels of government, those people are vetted before they can actually run. Oh yeah.
Very thoroughly vetted.
So, I mean, granted, there are things that’ll come up in their past, but I mean, sure there is. I mean,
every human being has got. Issues. Yeah, you’re not gonna find a perfect human being. But what I’m saying is after they get vetted, after they go through the vetting process to become a presidential or vice presidential candidate, I mean, you might as well leave ’em alone with the mud slinging
I mean, and they’ve been through it already. You know, that’s the way I look at it anyway. But even if it wasn’t for the bedding process, these people need to get their heads out of the sand and just start talking policy, run on the policies, you know, for that platform, and then stick to it kind of like Donald Trump did.
Um,
Justin as, as an example. I think a lot of people questioned them. I, I think a lot of people questioned the vetting process too. Cause especially when you talk about presidential,
