  Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
• 0:15
  This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:31
  We've all played the arcade game, whack-a-mole, where you keep trying to hit the molds as they they pop up.
• 0:37
  But what if it's not an arcade game?
• 0:40
  And then what if they aren't moles, but violations of the supreme law of the land that we're trying to whack.
• 0:47
  Hello there, everyday Americans.
• 0:48
  Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teacherizing generation be free.
• 0:54
  I'm glad you could join me today.
• 0:56
  You know, I was looking at the stories I was putting together as I was doing my show prep, and I was trying to come up with some unifying theme, and then I realized it's it's playing whack-a-mole with the Constitution, with the Supreme Law of the land.
• 1:13
  And I've I've got what I think are some pretty pretty good examples.
• 1:16
  We're going to start with, well, Judge uh James Boseburg.
• 1:22
  This is the judge that has basically had a vendetta against anything Trump does.
• 1:28
  I swear, if Trump were to walk out and declare that the sky was blue, this judge would try to put an injunction against him for you know for doing so.
• 1:36
  I mean, it's been literally that crazy.
• 1:39
  And I find it amazing how often his decisions are overturned.
• 1:43
  But this bad behavior keeps going and going and going and going.
• 1:49
  And again, I refer to it as bad behavior for a reason.
• 1:54
  Article 3, section one of the one of the Constitution says that the judges of both the Supreme and Inferior Court shall hold their office during their good behavior.
• 2:03
  Now, listen, I may disagree with him on politics, but he's supposed to be a judge.
• 2:07
  It's not supposed to be about politics.
• 2:09
  I may disagree with him about the law.
• 2:12
  That may be up to date, but when he blatantly violates the law, including his oath to the Constitution, well, to me, that's just bad behavior.
• 2:23
  And in the latest put down, um, he was told by the uh district the circuit court, the court of appeals for the District of Columbia, it's a circuit court, it's appeals court.
• 2:36
  Um he was told that uh um he had to stop his intrusive contempt investigation into the Trump administration.
• 2:47
  According to the decision, Chief Justice Brosburg abused his discretion in forging ahead with criminal contempt proceedings stemming from the 2025 deportation flights conducted by the Trump administration.
• 3:02
  Um that was a decision of a three-judge panel of the uh the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• 3:10
  Uh, not only the the circuit judge Naomi Rao, who wrote the opinion, say that the Trump administration had clear and indisputable right to determination of the contempt proceedings.
• 3:21
  She went on to write, the legal error at the heart of these criminal contempt proceedings demonstrates why further investigation by district court is an abuse of discretion.
• 3:31
  Criminal contempt is available only for a violation of an order that is clear and specific.
• 3:37
  Budge uh Boseburg March 25 order did not clearly and specifically bar the government from transferring place plaintiffs into Salvadorian custody.
• 3:48
  In other words, Judge Boseburg just he was being abusive of his power.
• 3:53
  Now, of course, the attorney for the people who got deported, uh, they don't agree.
• 3:59
  They say our system is built on the executive branch, including the president, respecting court orders.
• 4:04
  In this case, there is no longer any question that the Trump administration willfully violated the court's order.
• 4:09
  Well, Mr.
• 4:09
  Glennard, who's the who is the attorney, uh, you're wrong.
• 4:14
  See, our system is built on the separation of powers.
• 4:18
  You can go all the way back to the the uh um the federalist paper, Central 78.
• 4:23
  Courts have neither force nor will, but merely judgment, and are ultimately dependent on the efficacy on the executive branch for the efficacy of their decisions.
• 4:33
  They don't have the authority.
• 4:34
  You go back to Marbury versus Madison.
• 4:36
  The court doesn't have the authority to order another branch of government around.
• 4:42
  So uh you just want this this order enforced because it gets what you want.
• 4:46
  But your description of the law, our system is not built on a court that rules.
• 4:53
  It's built on a court that decides and must convince the other branches that their decision is good in order to be followed.
• 5:03
  Now, the uh Judge Roe also pointed out that the Boseburg uh contended investigation was intrusive.
• 5:12
  Um, according to uh to the Judge Rowe, the district court proposed to probe high-level executive branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacies.
• 5:22
  These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion.
• 5:26
  Um yeah, and uh okay, he got stepped down.
• 5:29
  Here's the interesting thing.
• 5:30
  How much bad behavior must he exercise before Congress uh looks into impeachment investigations?
• 5:39
  I'm curious.
• 5:41
  Another example, this one comes from the Supreme Court.
• 5:44
  SCOTUS recently released a decision, no, not a ruling, a decision, a decision in the Chili's versus Salazar uh case.
• 5:52
  This is the case of uh Colorado's law prohibiting um certain types of they call it conversion therapy.
• 6:00
  It's just therapy that targets a different agenda.
• 6:04
  Meaning, if you want therapy to reinforce your your homosexual or transgender lifestyle, that was perfectly fine.
• 6:12
  If you wanted therapy to get away from that lifestyle, the Colorado said that was illegal.
• 6:19
  Now, here's the interesting thing.
• 6:21
  I took a quick look at the um at the opinion.
• 6:24
  Uh I'll probably do a deeper dive at some point, but a quick look, found that uh Colorado's law banning conversion therapy as applied to Ms.
• 6:32
  Chile's talk therapy, regulate speech based on viewpoint, and the lower courts erred by failing to apply sufficiently rigorous First Amendment scrutiny.
• 6:41
  Now, don't get me wrong, the court got to the right answer, right?
• 6:46
  It is unconstitutional.
• 6:47
  This law is unconstitutional.
• 6:49
  They just got the wrong part of the constitution.
• 6:51
  Why?
• 6:52
  This cannot be a violation of the First Amendment.
• 6:55
  If you've listened to me for any length of time, you've heard it.
• 6:58
  This was not a law made by Congress.
• 7:00
  Congress.
• 7:00
  The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law.
• 7:00
  The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law.
• 7:04
  This wasn't made by Congress.
• 7:04
  This wasn't made by Congress.
• 7:05
  It cannot be a First Amendment violation.
• 7:05
  It cannot be a First Amendment violation.
• 7:08
  It is, however, a violation of the 14th Amendment.
• 7:08
  It is, however, a violation of the 14th Amendment, where we read, Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
• 7:12
  Where we read, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
• 7:20
  It also violates the Equal Protection Clause, right?
• 7:20
  It also violates the Equal Protection Clause, right?
• 7:23
  Because nor denied any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
• 7:23
  Because nor denied any person within its jurisdiction is the equal protection of the laws.
• 7:28
  So it's a blatant 14th Amendment.
• 7:28
  So it's a blatant 14th Amendment violation.
• 7:31
  Why?
• 7:31
  Because it deprived both Ms.
• 7:33
  Chile's as a therapist and her patients, the liberty to seek treatment.
• 7:42
  Not that harms anybody else.
• 7:44
  That only impacts the person involved.
• 7:46
  It also violates the equal protection clause because if you if she were to treat person for one condition, that was fine, but a different, the opposite desire into the condition, that was illegal.
• 7:58
  That's not an equal protection law.
• 8:00
  That's where the viewpoint discrimination comes into.
• 8:02
  So again, we have, you know, see it all the time, man.
• 8:06
  You get courts that that come to the the right ultimate conclusion, right?
• 8:12
  That um that the Colorado law is unconstitutional.
• 8:16
  But for all the wrong reasons, which to me I find extremely frustrating because it's right there.
• 8:21
  It's the first five words of the First Amendment.
• 8:24
  You're telling me that these judges have never read the first five words and said, hey, this applies to Congress.
• 8:35
  Okay, here's another whack-a-mole, because guess what?
• 8:40
  The U.S.
• 8:40
  Department of Justice just realized, or at least just announced, that the Biden administration Department of Justice colluded with a large abortion providers to prosecute people who disagree with them, pro-lifers.
• 8:58
  Merrick Garland and the Justice Department under Biden abuse the freedom of access to clinic entrances or face act against pro-life activists.
• 9:08
  What do I mean?
• 9:09
  Well, there's a couple of examples.
• 9:10
  First of all, the FACE Act on its face is blatantly unconstitutional.
• 9:16
  Why?
• 9:17
  Congress passed a law, it's a First Amendment violation.
• 9:20
  Congress passed a law that deprived you of your right to peaceably assemble simply because you are outside of a clinic.
• 9:32
  That's it.
• 9:34
  The exact same demonstration that you when it were to happen in front of a school or maybe a grocery store would suddenly become illegal outside of a clinic.
• 9:45
  Well, that's problem number one.
• 9:46
  So that's blatantly unconstitutional, but it's also unconstitutional the way the justice, the Biden Justice Department used it.
• 9:52
  Because if you were to take a peaceful demonstration outside of a pro-life abortion, uh a pro-life center, that was perfectly fine.
• 10:01
  You perform the exact same demonstration outside of a pregnant abortion center, and it's now criminal.
• 10:10
  Now, according to the DOJ report, uh, 882 pages listing more than 700 internal records of enforcement by the Department of Justice to protect abortion clinics.
• 10:26
  Now, according to the new the current Justice Department, they're going to take corrective actions to fix this, to right the wrongs of the prior administration.
• 10:37
  Acting Attorney General Todd Blanchett said this department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice.
• 10:55
  Actually, you have to do three things.
• 10:57
  First, you have to drop all cases and prosecutions against pro-lifers that were done under the previous administration.
• 11:03
  They are blanketly disappear.
• 11:06
  Second, you have to reimburse every person that was charged, every person for all legal fees and other costs related to the illegal abuse of an unconstitutional and illegal law.
• 11:19
  And third, you have to charge the people who weaponized this illegal act with a deprivation of rights under color of law.
• 11:31
  Conspiracy to deprive people of rights, they have to be charged, not just sued.
• 11:36
  They need to be criminally charged.
• 11:39
  Those three things.
• 11:40
  Mr.
• 11:40
  Blanchard, are you prepared to do those three things?
• 11:43
  I don't mean pardons.
• 11:45
  I mean all prosecution must cease.
• 11:47
  Anybody who's been convicted, you must go to the court and demand and say this was done in error.
• 11:54
  We fall on your sword and demand that they be released.
• 11:57
  You must reimburse them for every cost they incurred due to this illegal Gestapo tack at this.
• 12:03
  And then you must criminally charge the people that were attempting to deprive people of their rights under color of law.
• 12:11
  Anything less is a half-hearted measure.
• 12:15
  Anything less is words with no meaning.
• 12:22
  That's what you have to do.
• 12:23
  So, Mr.
• 12:24
  Blanchett, when I see reports of these people who were attacked by our Department of Justice, of all their cases being dropped, anybody conviction, their conviction, you must petition a court for their conviction to be immediately overturned.
• 12:39
  And you must reimburse them for their costs.
• 12:43
  And you must criminally charge those who participate.
• 12:47
  And I don't just mean Joe Biden or whoever ordered this.
• 12:52
  I mean anybody who implemented this.
• 12:56
  Yes, right down to the agent that was simply following orders.
• 13:00
  You know, the following orders didn't work for the Nazis in Nuremberg.
• 13:03
  They shouldn't work in an American courtroom.
• 13:05
  These agents took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, including the First Amendment.
• 13:13
  They should have known better.
• 13:16
  Now, maybe there's a mitigation on punishment, but they need to be charged.
• 13:21
  If they denied people their rights under color of law, they need to be charged and they need to have their day in court.
• 13:28
  Anything less is a mocking of justice.
• 13:35
  You call yourself the department of justice.
• 13:37
  I've called you the department of injustice because you've shown you're not interested in justice.
• 13:44
  Even this is not to me a proof that the DOJ is actually interested in justice.
• 13:51
  Because they haven't done anything.
• 13:54
  All you have are are meaningless so far, meaningless words.
• 13:58
  Mr.
• 13:58
  Blanchett, put your power where your mouth is.
• 14:00
  Power where your mouth is, then maybe, maybe I'll consider it uh a restoration of justice.
• 14:03
  Then maybe, maybe I'll consider it a restoration of justice.
• 14:09
  Anything less, and guess what?
• 14:09
  Anything less, and guess what?
• 14:12
  You've you've conspired with the rest to deprive people of their rights without under color of law.
• 14:12
  You've you've conspired with the rest to deprive people of their rights without do uh um under color of law.
• 14:19
  That's right.
• 14:19
  That's right.
• 14:20
  By saying you've recognized a problem, by publishing that you've recognized a problem and not redressing that grievance, you've colluded.
• 14:20
  By saying you've recognized a problem by publishing that you've recognized a problem and not redressing that grievance, you've colluded.
• 14:29
  You've conspired to deprive people of their rights because you're not restoring what was taken from them.
• 14:35
  You can't take that time away, but you can restore what it cost them, and you need to do so publicly, not behind closed doors, not with non-disclosure agreements, publicly.
• 14:48
  The Department of Justice doesn't, you know, yes, you have a new chief executive, you have a new boss.
• 14:54
  It doesn't absolve the Department of Justice of their criminal culpability for those actions.
• 15:01
  Yeah.
• 15:02
  And I can't wait to start seeing people file criminal complaints against those who have done this to them.
• 15:10
  Okay, oh, let me get down off my soapbox, let me lower my blood pressure a little bit because I've got a break coming up.
• 15:15
  Before I do, though, you know, for some reason, my wife wants me to eat healthy.
• 15:21
  She wants me around for a while.
• 15:22
  I don't understand why.
• 15:24
  I saw this report, and it was very interesting.
• 15:26
  Said that, you know, 85% of the nutrients we used to get from our food isn't in our food anymore.
• 15:34
  That our farming our our our agricultural practices have in many ways depleted the soil of the vitamins and minerals we used to get for to help us sleep, um, to help build muscle mass to strengthen our immune system.
• 15:50
  Now, a lot of people, they take supplements, fistfuls of pills to to help replace what used to come from our food.
• 15:58
  Our friends of the chemical free body, they have a better solution.
• 16:00
  At least I can think it's a better solution.
• 16:02
  It's called green 85 juice.
• 16:05
  It's it's a juice formula, it's a juice powder.
• 16:08
  You mix a scoop with water first thing in the morning, and it gives your body those those minerals and nutrients you used to get from your food.
• 16:17
  Does it help you uh uh with weight loss, with energy, with sleep?
• 16:22
  Um yeah, it's a natural detoxification simply by putting this scoop of powder in some water first thing in the morning.

  Welcome back, everyday Americans.
• 20:26
  You've rejoined the Constitution studies.
• 20:28
  They were talking about playing whack-a-mole with the Constitution.
• 20:31
  And boy, if there's a game of whack-a-moe, it's gotta be FISA Section 702.
• 20:37
  This spying legislation, uh yes, it's a spying tool.
• 20:42
  But but Paul, it's foreign intelligence.
• 20:44
  Bah loaning.
• 20:46
  All right.
• 20:47
  The foreign intelligence surveillance act, section 702 authorizes not only foreign intelligence surveillance, but domestic surveillance as well.
• 20:58
  They've got this little loophole.
• 20:59
  It's called the the three hop rule.
• 21:00
  The three hop rule, meaning uh if if you know let's say they they find somebody of uh somebody foreign that they want to surveil, right?
• 21:01
  Meaning, uh if if you know let's say they they find somebody of uh somebody foreign that they want to surveil, right?
• 21:10
  They find a name, they start looking with that data.
• 21:10
  They find a name, they start looking at that data.
• 21:13
  They can go three contacts.
• 21:13
  They can go three contacts.
• 21:15
  So you've got the origining person, their contact, and their contact.
• 21:15
  So you've got the origining person, their contact, and their contact.
• 21:20
  Meaning, um just let's assume you get that uh that news update, right?
• 21:20
  Meaning, um just let's assume you get that uh that news update, right?
• 21:25
  From uh Uncle Freddie.
• 21:25
  From uh Uncle Freddie.
• 21:27
  He emails you that news because uh he
• 21:27
  He emails you that news because uh he got it from his army buddy that tells him that that's showing him some piece of information, but that army buddy happens to know somebody in Afghanistan that's currently under surveillance.
• 21:42
  You can now be surveilled under FISA Section 702.
• 21:46
  Now they're supposed to mask your identity, right?
• 21:50
  In other words, you're supposed to be unnamed citizen number, whatever.
• 21:54
  But all they have to do is ask and they'll unmask you.
• 21:57
  It just takes a request, doesn't take a court order for this search of who you are.
• 22:02
  They just have to ask.
• 22:04
  And you know, they're the literally the their supervisor or their supervisor supervisor can approve the ass and unmask who you are because you got an email from a relative who had a buddy who knew somebody that was currently under surveillance.
• 22:21
  This blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment was was uh created in 2008 in large part because we were afraid.
• 22:30
  We had the uh the September 11th, and everyone was terrified, and you know, they were looking for ways to improve that was an intelligence failure.
• 22:40
  We're looking for ways to improve our intelligence.
• 22:42
  Of course, then you had you had the Iraq war, right?
• 22:45
  And then you had the intelligence failures.
• 22:47
  We need to prove our intelligence.
• 22:48
  We'll allow them to spy, but we kept opening, they kept opening up loopholes to allow the spying on Americans.
• 22:55
  Now, this dissection has an expiration date.
• 23:00
  And I think this is the third or fourth time it has been up for renewal, and it appears to be the third or fourth time that Congress is going to rubber stamp spying on the American people because, well, we need to surveil foreign, guess what?
• 23:17
  All you would have to do to make this much, much better bill is end the foreign intelligence at the uh uh um at the American border.
• 23:29
  But you know, an American citizen, American resident, and American border, right?
• 23:33
  You know, even you say uh a citizen or legal resident is the end, you catch one of those, your surveillance stops.
• 23:40
  I don't care how many hops it is.
• 23:41
  That would at least make it more compliant with the constitution.
• 23:46
  But again, they want to extend it.
• 23:47
  Now, the the current measure would be another year and a half, another year and a half of spying.
• 23:54
  And uh, before you go saying, well, you know, the the the Republicans are the party of freedom.
• 24:00
  No, they're the ones that are pushing this.
• 24:02
  The very party whose presidential then candidate, Donald Trump, was illegally searched under 702 based on a hoax, a fake set of documents under 702 was used to spy on a presidential candidate.
• 24:21
  And that's the same power of this party, because remember, the House is run by the Republicans, they got it through.
• 24:28
  It got through the the uh the rules committee, which means it's going to the floor, and um, do you really think the Republicans are gonna defy their leadership and not vote for this?
• 24:40
  Oh, maybe one or two.
• 24:43
  Do you really think a large percentage of them will?
• 24:47
  How about this?
• 24:49
  The House as a whole recently passed uh what they was referred to as a critical aviation safety bill.
• 24:55
  Now, how do you remember back in January of last year, we had that awful mid-air collision over the Potomac River, where a military helicopter flew outside of its assigned corridor and struck a passenger plane, killing everybody on board.
• 25:13
  Now, this uh this legislation, which I believe was was promoted by the National Transportation Safety Board, would require most aircraft operating around busy airports to include broadcasting what's called the automatic detective uh dependent surveillance broadcast or ADSB data.
• 25:32
  This is data you may not know it since 2008.
• 25:35
  It's it's how airliners were meant to help avoid each other, right?
• 25:41
  This data is broadcast.
• 25:42
  In fact, you can actually track airplanes using this data.
• 25:46
  If you've ever used an app where you can track, say, you're you know, you're waiting for a flight, maybe someone's flying in, maybe you're making a connection, you can track it on your cell phone.
• 25:56
  I believe it's using this ADSB data.
• 25:59
  And I don't have a problem with the ADSB data.
• 26:02
  Uh um, and and I I don't even so much have a problem with the idea of um requiring it around busier airports.
• 26:10
  My question is twofold.
• 26:12
  First, where does the Congress get the authority to regulate aviation?
• 26:18
  Remember, Congress can regulate interstate uh commerce, not interstate travel.
• 26:24
  So you've got a constitutional problem here.
• 26:27
  The other thing is, okay, when they say most aircraft, what's the limit?
• 26:33
  How far down do you go?
• 26:35
  Does it include uh, you know, uh your Uncle Billy Cessna, who likes to uh go flying on the weekends?
• 26:43
  Uh yeah, I I don't I don't know.
• 26:46
  Now, um, again, should air travel be a federally regulated process.
• 26:54
  First thing, I yes, I think it should.
• 26:57
  But to do it legally, we have to amend the constitution of the United States to authorize the United States to regulate um domestic and international air travel.
• 27:08
  And by doing so, we could put boundaries around what they can do.
• 27:12
  For example, should the same entity that is promoting aviation also be regulating aviation?
• 27:22
  The federal aviation administration has a dual mandate.
• 27:25
  Promote aviation, regulate aviation.
• 27:29
  Those are that that seems to be to be a conflict of interest.
• 27:33
  So we could put that in the constitution, right?
• 27:35
  They that no one entity can both uh uh promote uh or actually should be no entity of the federal government should be promoting aviation.
• 27:46
  They can uh they can do air traffic control, they can have uh state safety requirements, maybe.
• 27:53
  We could, but that's the point.
• 27:54
  We the people could decide how far the federal government could regulate air travel rather than simply them making stuff up all by themselves.
• 28:00
  Rather than simply them making stuff up all by themselves.
• 28:05
  So I guess my issue is not so much with this alert act as a whole, it's with the fact that we the people have gotten so darn lazy that we don't even mind when the federal government usurps our rights.
• 28:05
  So I guess my issue is not so much with this alert act as a whole, it's with the fact that we the people have gotten so darn lazy that we don't even mind when the federal government usurps our rights as long as they promise to keep us safe.
• 28:17
  As long as they promise to keep us safe.
• 28:19
  Wait a second.
• 28:19
  Wait a second, Benjamin Franklin said something about that, didn't he?
• 28:20
  Benjamin Franklin said something about that, didn't he?
• 28:22
  He said those would give up essential liberties for the promise of temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
• 28:22
  He said those would give up essential liberties for the promise of temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
• 28:29
  I guess we deserve neither liberty nor safety because we have given up lots of rights for the false promise of temporary safety.
• 28:39
  And in another case, another whack-a-mole, right?
• 28:41
  There's now a House subcommittee, the ways and means subcommittee is holding hearings, I should say held hearings to modernize, modernize health care in practice, empowering Americans to live healthier lives.
• 28:54
  Bull loaning.
• 28:55
  First of all, this is an illegal subcommittee.
• 28:59
  Why?
• 29:00
  Because its purpose is to do something the United States is not legally authorized to do.
• 29:06
  Health care is not a power, regulating health care is not a power delegated to the United States.
• 29:12
  Overseeing health care practices is not a power delegated to the United States.
• 29:17
  This is one more example of Congress simply stealing your rights with the promise of making you live a helping you live a healthier life.
• 29:25
  See the promise.
• 29:35
  What right?
• 29:36
  How about the right to regulate the government they created?
• 29:39
  The preamble of the Constitution starts with we the people.
• 29:43
  That preamble ends with do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.
• 29:49
  We remember the Declaration of Independence that to secure these rights.
• 29:52
  Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
• 30:02
  We ordain and establish the federal government.
• 30:05
  Yes, the states ratified it.
• 30:08
  They are the uh the parties to the compact, but they were acting in the name of we, the people.
• 30:15
  And we told the federal government in the 10th Amendment, if you, if we don't specifically say you can do it, you can't do it.
• 30:24
  We told Congress in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18, that they were only authorized to make legislation necessary and proper to putting into execution the powers vested in the government of the United States.
• 30:38
  That whole subcommittee is unconstitutional.
• 30:41
  The whole idea of the federal government regulating health care is not only unconstitutional, it's a deprivation of rights under color of law.
• 30:49
  It's criminal.
• 30:51
  Now, you cannot charge a member of Congress for a crime for what they say or do on the floor of their house.
• 30:58
  But once we recognize that this isn't something all, it's unconstitutional, too bad.
• 31:04
  No, it's a crime.
• 31:06
  It's a theft.
• 31:07
  It's a deprivation of your rights.
• 31:11
  But yet we still sit back and pretend, oh, well, it's unconstitutional.
• 31:16
  I'm I'm sure we'll have to wait and see what the Supreme Court says.
• 31:19
  No.
• 31:20
  The power to determine what the United States can and cannot do was not vested in the Supreme Court of the United States.
• 31:27
  The federal uh courts, the federal judiciary can decide controversies.
• 31:33
  They can hold trials for criminal uh for criminal decision, which is again another controversy.
• 31:39
  That's it.
• 31:41
  We have abdicated our role as citizens, our civic duty to oversee our governments.
• 31:49
  And this is merely the latest example.
• 31:51
  It's playing whack-a-mole because every time they pop up with another unconstitutional committee or unconstitutional law or unconstitutional rule or regulation, it's like there's a couple people out there trying to pound them down, and every time they do, three more come up.
• 32:06
  Why?
• 32:08
  Because the American people as a whole are ignorant and apathetic.
• 32:13
  They don't know and they don't care.
• 32:17
  That's why they deserve neither liberty nor safety.
• 32:21
  They don't know and they don't care.
• 32:24
  They have demonstrated that we the people as a whole do not care about our rights, about our freedom, about our liberty, about the freedom of our children.
• 32:35
  We don't care.
• 32:36
  We're willing to simply throw up our hands and let Congress do whatever they want.
• 32:40
  And when they say, well, you have to do this illegal thing, we go, okay, that's what we'll do.
• 32:45
  And a handful of people stand up and say no, and the vast majority, like lemmings, follow these criminal practices right off the cliff.
• 32:54
  And here's one more before we go to break.
• 32:56
  So Treasury Secretary Scott Benson announced that they are working on regulations to require proof of citizenship to uh open a bank account.
• 33:09
  Right?
• 33:10
  They want to collect your citizenship information in order to open now, assumedly it's going to be new bank accounts, but who knows if they'll try to make it ex post facto, um, wouldn't put that behind me.
• 33:22
  But guess what?
• 33:23
  That's another criminal deprivation of rights under color of law.
• 33:27
  The federal government is not authorized to regulate banking.
• 33:30
  Remember, Congress can regulate interstate commerce.
• 33:34
  They cannot regulate banking.
• 33:36
  They do, but it's illegal.
• 33:39
  Why?
• 33:40
  Well, because most of the American people don't know any better.
• 33:42
  It's not taught, the Constitution is not taught in school.
• 33:45
  We don't read it and study it for ourselves, so we don't know when our rights are being violated, and we just go along like sheep like lemmings right off the Liberty Cliff, because we don't know any better.
• 33:57
  And the few of us that are here playing whack-a-mole, we get laughed at.
• 34:01
  We get called names.
• 34:03
  But this line from Secretary Besson got me, he says, I have a place in the UK.
• 34:08
  They want to know who lives in every apartment.
• 34:10
  And how do we know that it's not part of a foreign terrorist organization?
• 34:14
  That's the UK, idiot.
• 34:17
  You're the Treasury Secretary of the United States, not the United Kingdom.
• 34:21
  And here, we have a constitution.
• 34:24
  Here, the government has the burden of proof, not the citizen, not the resident, not the people.
• 34:32
  The government has the burden of proof.
• 34:37
  You want to say you can't bank here?
• 34:39
  You have to prove the government has to prove you're not allowed to bank here.
• 34:42
  You don't have to prove the other way.
• 34:44
  This, again, violation, it's a violence.
• 34:47
  Let's see, what would it be a violation?
• 34:48
  Well, certainly a violation of the Fifth Amendment, because they're depriving you of your liberty without due process of law.
• 34:54
  Where's the process that protects the rights of the individual for you to require citizenship to bank?
• 35:00
  Now I have no problem requiring citizenship to vote as long as it's done on the state level.
• 35:01
  Now, I have no problem requiring citizenship to vote as long as it's done on the state level.
• 35:07
  But banking is business, it's commerce.
• 35:07
  But banking is business, it's commerce.
• 35:10
  And Congress can only regulate interstate commerce when you do commerce across state lines.
• 35:10
  And Congress can only regulate interstate commerce when you do commerce across state lines.
• 35:16
  They cannot regulate commerce within a state.
• 35:16
  They cannot regulate commerce within a state.
• 35:20
  This is another blade.
• 35:20
  This is another blade.
• 35:21
  And again, it's not even a law of Congress.
• 35:21
  And again, it's not even a law of Congress.
• 35:23
  This is a territory secretary making up a rule, which again violates the Constitution because Congressman.
• 35:23
  This is a territory secretary making up a rule, which again violates the Constitution because Congress makes the laws, not the executive branch.
• 35:34
  See the whack-a-mole.
• 35:36
  I got some mole more moles to whack before we call it a day.
• 35:40
  Before I get to that, though, you know, there are so many places.
• 35:44
  These ideas don't come out of thin air.
• 35:46
  There are organizations that are promoting these deprivation of your rights.
• 35:52
  They're rallying for it, they're lobbying for it.
• 35:54
  Our rights are under attack by more than just government.
• 35:57
  And a lot of these organizations get their money from you.

  How?

  Well, I, you know, I guess New York City, it's not so much whack-a-moe with the constitution, it's just whackin' the mole with logic and reason.
• 39:47
  See, they elected New York City elected a Marxist socialist as mayor, right?
• 39:54
  And his platform was clearly Marxist and socialist.
• 39:58
  It was an attempt to deprive people of their freedom by claiming that the government can do it better, even though the examples of that are pretty much non-existent.
• 40:09
  Now, one of his big things, one of the big things going to do is like, well, we're going to have city-owned grocery stores.
• 40:16
  He wants to put the city in the grocery store business.
• 40:19
  The city can't handle any other business it's in, but then he wants to put it in the grocery store business.
• 40:24
  And of course, now that he's elected, well, there's new and more and important information that's coming out.
• 40:31
  Because these aren't really city-owned grocery stores.
• 40:35
  The city owns the land.
• 40:37
  The grocery stores will be used, they'll use city land.
• 40:40
  The city owns the land, but it's going to be operated by a private operator.
• 40:45
  Why?
• 40:46
  Well, apparently somebody figured out that government's not really good at day-to-day operations in retail environments, especially uh grocery stores which have such a thin profit margin.
• 40:59
  They can't work.
• 41:01
  So here's what they're gonna do.
• 41:02
  They're gonna have a grocery store, it's gonna be on city land, but they're gonna have a private operator.
• 41:07
  However, this operator is going to be a contract to the city to sell what they where they call a core set of essential groceries.
• 41:16
  So you're gonna have the city deciding what are the core uh uh essential groceries.
• 41:22
  Again, I laugh because remember, uh, food stamps, right?
• 41:26
  The supplemental and nutrition program that was supposed to be for basically what you would might call core essential groceries that's used for you know showed sodas and candy and sugary drinks and all sorts of processed food, all sorts of garbage.
• 41:42
  So I'm really curious what the city of New York is going to consider essential groceries, but not only that, these grocery stores are going to sell these groceries at a set percentage below market price.
• 41:58
  Now, listen, I am not a uh uh I've never worked in the grocery industry, but what little I know about it, they don't exactly have exorbitant profit margins.
• 42:00
  A uh uh I've never worked in the grocery industry, but what little I know about it, they don't exactly have exorbitant profit margins.
• 42:08
  These aren't running at you know 50, 60, 7% profit margins.
• 42:08
  These aren't running at you know 50, 60, 7% profit margins.
• 42:12
  They're generally, what is it, maybe 15, 20%, maybe less.
• 42:12
  They're generally, what is it, maybe 15, 20%, maybe less.
• 42:16
  I don't know.
• 42:16
  I don't know.
• 42:17
  But if that's the case, and they're gonna be cheaper than market prices, what does that mean?
• 42:17
  But if that's the case, and they're gonna be cheaper than market prices, what does that mean?
• 42:23
  Does that mean that these grocery stores are going to lose money on every sale?
• 42:23
  Does that mean that these grocery stores are going to lose money on every sale?
• 42:28
  If not, it'll
• 42:28
  If not, it'll sound like they'll be really, really close.
• 42:33
  Now, of course, this the Mondami trans, well, these price, this price gouging or reverse price gouging, they're price gouging the the operator.
• 42:43
  This price gouging of the operator, they said, well, we pass the savings will be passed on to consumers.
• 42:49
  And in a perfect example of a complete misunderstanding of how the markets work, especially in a in a grocery store type environment, uh, he said, we have heard corporate leaders that on earnings calls talking about how those prices have stayed up, even as some of those costs have come down.
• 43:06
  Now, he's the Mr.
• 43:08
  Mondani says that this shows that the market is broken.
• 43:10
  No, it isn't.
• 43:12
  Because while that some prices stay up even when the cost go down, in some cases the prices stay down as the costs go up because you're not looking at the cost of individual items.
• 43:24
  You're looking at the system as a whole, where you may make a little less money, uh, a little more money on this item, but a little less on that item.
• 43:34
  So uh, yeah, this is uh I I predict doom.
• 43:38
  I predict the people that they're gonna get a lot of business, right?
• 43:41
  Because a lot of people are gonna say, you know, I can get my bananas five cents cheaper here, or I can get my uh my my soda and my cigarettes, you know, uh uh cheaper here, right?
• 43:52
  Maybe not cigarettes, because you know how the city thinks about cigar cigarettes.
• 43:55
  But remember when um when who has a Bloomberg was trying to put a tax on sugary drinks, will they be considered essential food items?
• 44:05
  So yeah, this mess, and oh, so where I've here's the other question.
• 44:09
  Where is the city going to get the money to get the land and to do the contracts and do all of their part of it?
• 44:16
  They're going to quote unquote investon doll into a program that almost assuredly is going to be a loser, a law, a profit consumer.
• 44:30
  They're gonna suck profits out of the thing, and then it's not gonna work.
• 44:34
  They say we're gonna invest 30 million in this program and then pass the savings on to the New York.
• 44:39
  No, they're passing the costs on to the New Yorkers because where's the city in New York going to get the 30 million dollars to invest into this program?
• 44:47
  Yeah, that's I mean, that's an eight-figure sum that the city has to come up with to quote unquote invest.
• 44:54
  Another example.
• 44:54
  So there's another quote.
• 44:56
  He said, uh Mondami said, oftentimes when the government creates a subsidy or a tax break is doing so in the hopes that it will pass be passed on to the consumer.
• 45:05
  Okay, I agree.
• 45:06
  Now, to me, subsidies are bad, right?
• 45:09
  Because again, it's it's the government putting their thumb on the market.
• 45:13
  Tax breaks are bad.
• 45:15
  They're putting the thumb on the market.
• 45:17
  They're generally done to promote what some agenda by some politician, often uh in complete disregard to the fact that um, well, the the world just doesn't uh uh doesn't want it, right?
• 45:29
  We see the subsidies on electric vehicles, that's money the American people have spent through these subsidies that um people stop buying electric cars.
• 45:38
  These companies are pulling back their manufacturing, they can't sell them.
• 45:43
  So uh yeah.
• 45:45
  And besides, they talk about subsidies and tax breaks, those are often go to the corporations.
• 45:50
  What happens with those subsidies or tax breaks go to individuals and they get to decide where to spend the money you're not collecting in taxes?
• 45:59
  Well, here's a perfect example.
• 46:01
  So uh apparently Mr.
• 46:03
  Hondami is set aside 70 million dollars to start up five grocery stores.
• 46:12
  That is on average 14 million dollars a store.
• 46:17
  All right, so maybe not all stores are the same.
• 46:20
  For example, um uh uh there's one in East Harlem that'll be 9,000 square feet.
• 46:27
  Um, you know, who knows?
• 46:29
  Maybe they'll some will be be smaller.
• 46:31
  But I decided, you know what?
• 46:32
  If let's let's just take that average, uh uh 14 million dollars per store.
• 46:38
  I did a little search, and uh I said, what does it actually cost to open a grocery store?
• 46:46
  I know this is gonna be wildly varied because there are a lot of factors into the cost of opening a grocery store.
• 46:51
  How big is the store?
• 46:53
  Where's the land located?
• 46:54
  Uh, what is it?
• 46:55
  Does it have a certain market that you know are you looking for like upscale uh you know, organic food, which may be more expensive to set up than uh lower cost?
• 47:05
  But on average, what does it cost to open a grocery store?
• 47:10
  Now, uh I I again I looked at some some scenarios uh to set up, let's say a mom and pop grocery store, a bodega, as I would call it in New York City, cost between 25 and 50,000 dollars.
• 47:25
  A gourmet grocery store can be 50 to 400,000, depending on well, how gourmet your your your being.
• 47:35
  Now, again, there's a lot of factors to this, right?
• 47:38
  So let's say for the for the line for the space, the the store itself, uh the price rate is between 50 and 40 per square foot.
• 47:48
  So let's take the high end, $40 a square foot.
• 47:50
  That 9,000 square foot store in Harlem should cost no more than 360,000.
• 48:00
  And again, if you break it down, you look at just not just the the land.
• 48:03
  What about um uh uh I don't know, finishes and equipment or an interior design or uh location premiums, utilities, um, you know, other things.
• 48:16
  I came up with a number of about roughly about 127,000 a square foot, which means that Harlem store should cost 1.1 million, and of course, you've got labor cost.
• 48:27
  Oh, that's gonna be fun.
• 48:29
  So, you know, you you know, you've got to pay, I'm sure they're gonna be paying everybody 25 an hour or more to work there.
• 48:35
  They're gonna require that.
• 48:38
  But we're nowhere near 14 million dollars.
• 48:42
  So if New York City can't even properly price the opening of five stores, what in God's name makes you think that they can actually run a store that won't just become a financial sinkhole?
• 48:58
  Because what happens when a privately owned grocery store cannot make money, right?
• 49:00
  A privately owned grocery store cannot make money, right?
• 49:04
  When they can't sell their stuff at a sufficient profit to pay the bills.
• 49:04
  When they can't sell their stuff at a sufficient profit to pay the bills, it goes out of business and someone else tries.
• 49:09
  It goes out of business and someone else tries.
• 49:12
  What happens when a government-run grocery store cannot turn a profit, cannot cover all of their expenses?
• 49:12
  What happens when a government run grocery store cannot turn a profit, cannot cover all of their expenses?
• 49:21
  The taxpayers get tax hikes.
• 49:21
  The taxpayers get tax hikes.
• 49:24
  The taxpayers pick up the tab.
• 49:24
  The taxpayers pick up the tab, and the sucking sound gets deeper.
• 49:27
  And the sucking sound gets deeper and deeper and deeper.
• 49:33
  And by the way, it's not like I'm pulling this out of thin air.
• 49:36
  Both Florida and Missouri have tried, they have cities that tried to have city-owned grocery store.
• 49:42
  Baldwin, Florida started a grocery store in September of 2019.
• 49:47
  Um they had a pretty good year when the pandemic started.
• 49:53
  But their annual losses are roughly 170 to 180,000 a year.
• 50:01
  Losses.
• 50:03
  Which means those costs are either picked up by the town by the taxpayer, or what?
• 50:10
  Well, in Baldwin, Florida, they closed the grocery store.
• 50:14
  Kansas City, Missouri tried to do a city-owned grocery store.
• 50:20
  Now, the problem is uh crime and security concerns, who heard their foot traffic.
• 50:26
  They weren't having people come into the store, meant they had to hire private security, but at between five and six thousand dollars per week.
• 50:34
  It was unsustainable.
• 50:35
  And guess what?
• 50:36
  The store closed in just a few years.
• 50:40
  The Baldwin, Florida store was started in 2000 in September 2019, it was closed by March 2024.
• 50:47
  I don't know when the Missouri store opened, but it would closed in 2025.
• 50:53
  They don't work.
• 50:55
  So I'm wondering are New York City, are they going to play whack-a-mole with this?
• 51:02
  Because I'm not sure about the mayor of Baldwin, Florida or Kansas, Missouri, but I know New York City has a socialist.
• 51:10
  And a socialist believes that the government should pay these shortfalls, which means the taxpayer pays the shortfall.
• 51:18
  And where is the government getting that taxpayer money?
• 51:22
  From the residents and the taxpayers of New York City, which means your cheap grocery store is going to cost you more than you ever thought, and probably more than you'll ever know.
• 51:37
  Because you have to ask yourself, if these are right, if if let's say, let's just say that a grocery store in New York City loses a couple hundred thousand dollars a year.
• 51:50
  Well, if you saved 50 cents on your groceries, let's say you saved 100 a week on your groceries because they're intentionally discounted.
• 52:03
  You got 52 weeks in a year.
• 52:05
  We'll just make it 50 to make that easier.
• 52:07
  So that's um $5,000.
• 52:11
  But if they if they're losing money, how much do you think the states the city's going to collect in taxes?
• 52:18
  See, if they're losing money, that's got to come out of somewhere.
• 52:22
  And is it really going to be cheaper than going to the discount grocery store down the street?
• 52:28
  Well, I don't have a discount grocery store down the street.
• 52:30
  Well, maybe like Kansas City, because you've got a different problem.
• 52:34
  And the problem isn't the grocery store.
• 52:37
  The problem is the community security, the safety, the law enforcement.
• 52:43
  And who runs that?
• 52:45
  That's right.
• 52:46
  The very same city government that thinks they can run a grocery store.
• 52:52
  I'm so glad I don't live in New York City anymore.
• 52:54
  I'm so glad I don't live in New York State anymore.
• 52:57
  Now, you know, you may have a question about what I've been talking about.
• 53:01
  I may have a question about the Constitution.
• 53:03
  You may have a please ask your questions.
• 53:05
  I'd love when people ask questions.
• 53:08
  One thing is questions are good because, well, if you don't know, getting an answer, especially one you can you can verify, you can you know trust but verify.
• 53:20
  That's a really good thing because that's how we learn.
• 53:23
  It also helps me because I get exposed to ideas I hadn't thought of, things I hadn't thought of that may lead me to look at things differently and will make sure that I've got the right answer.
• 53:34
  So if you want to ask a question, it's real simple.
• 53:36
  Go to Constitution Study.com slash question, and uh you'll see a form.
• 53:41
  Right?
• 53:42
  I asked for your name and email address because I'm going to email you a response.
• 53:45
  Me, myself, I personally, no AI, no bots.
• 53:49
  I am going to answer your question.
• 53:51
  If you'd like me to answer it on the radio, there's a checkbox.
• 53:54
  And on America Loud Talk Radio, be more than happy to do so.
• 53:58
  This is where we get questions and answers.
• 54:00
  Questions are great things.
• 54:02
  Now, again, don't worry, I'm not out to embarrass people.
• 54:05
  Right?
• 54:05
  I believe there are only two stupid questions in the world, the one you don't ask and the one you asked three times.
• 54:10
  All I ask of you is that you be polite and somewhere on topic regarding the constitution, the constitution study or me.
• 54:17
  You know, I occasionally get questions that have absolutely nothing to do with the constitution, and they're not what we're here for.
• 54:24
  But I bring this, I think this is unique because I have a whole section of the website dedicated to questions and answers because I think they're that important.
• 54:32
  So again, head to Constitution Study.com/slash questions and ask your question.
• 54:37
  What's the worst thing that happens?
• 54:38
  You don't like my answer, you throw it in the trash.
• 54:42
  Is that that's really, but on the other hand, you may still you may see something and it'd be exposed to something or some proof that you didn't know was out there.
• 54:50
  And who knows?
• 54:51
  That may actually open you up to new ideas that may pursue different thoughts that may lead to, well, hopefully, more questions.
• 54:58
  Never fear running out of answers.
• 55:01
  Only fear running out of questions.
• 55:04
  And by the way, if you have a specific topic you would like me to discuss on the constitution study, if you have somebody you think would be a good interview for the constitution study, all you have to do is ask.
• 55:15
  That's just another question to ask.
• 55:16
  Paul, I've had people come and say, Paul, can you discuss this?
• 55:20
  You know, maybe birthright citizenship is on your mind, or or I don't know, pick a topic.
• 55:25
  Or maybe you've you've you've heard somebody or met somebody and you think they might be a good interview here.
• 55:31
  Ask.
• 55:32
  The answer may be no, but all you have to do is really ask, and I'll give it a try.
• 55:36
  Uh, you know, I I basically just when someone asks to be if they can be an interview, uh if they can have someone interview here, my general question is what's the constitutional question that we want to discuss?
• 55:46
  What's the constitutional topic we want to discuss?
• 55:48
  If they've got one, generally I'll bring them on.
• 55:50
  So this is a great opportunity for you to not only learn something, but help uh inform what we do here at the Constitution Study.
