Socialism’s death spiral on both sides of the aisle · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

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.
0:30
For decades, the American people have simply handed over their four and five-year-old children to a government school run by those trained in socialism and Marxism.
0:41
Is it any wonder how many people today are protesting like socialists?
0:45
It reminds me of a quote from Vladimir Lenin.
0:48
Give me your four-year-olds, and in a generation, I will build a socialist state.
0:54
Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engle here with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teacher Isaac and generation be free.
1:01
I'm glad you could join me today.
1:02
And uh don't get me wrong.
1:04
I do not denigrate the idea of demonstration of uh you know being you know, standing against uh thwart things that are are illegal, unconstitutional, you know, the standing up for what you believe in, especially for standing up what is right and truthful.
1:23
But remember, the First Amendment says Congress can't make a law preventing your peaceable assembly, and that's the problem we've won in.
1:31
For decades, I've watched as people have gone from a peaceable assembly to a riotous assembly, yet still claiming well, still claiming that uh they're just uh exercising their rights protected by the First Amendment.
1:46
I I'm watching as things, you know, as we saw in the October Revolution in the co in in the Soviet Union, the uh um Russia originally, but uh the cultural revolution in China of again, a lot of mostly younger people going out and violently demanding what they want, and to offer them watching governments capitulate to this.
2:13
Now, I try very hard to deal with facts and data and not simply react on a motion.
2:20
So when the reports of Renee Good uh the Renee Good shooting came in, uh, I did not jump on either bandwagon.
2:28
I watched plenty of people say, oh, you know, she deserved it, she was demonstration, she was attacking a federal agent.
2:34
I've heard other things, no, she was out there peacefully demonstrating, and well, next thing you know, they're shooting, you know, they're shooting at her.
2:41
And the evidence I had at the time kind of could have leaned either way.
2:45
I saw a little bit of truth in both sides.
2:48
So I wanted to wait and see.
2:51
Why?
2:51
Because I wasn't going to simply run along because some somebody said it was true.
2:56
I wanted more detail.
2:58
Well, now, based on some of the FBI investigations, they're claiming there is evidence suggesting that both Ms.
3:06
Good and her partner, um, Becca Good, well, that they had actually been following ICE officers all day.
3:17
That um uh Becca had possible connections to activist groups, um, and uh that there have been more going on than uh uh well what had happened with Officer Ross when he fired the shot at uh at Renee.
3:37
And of course, on the one hand, you have Donald Trump calling these women professional agitators and uh Secretary Gnome leaving them as domestic terrorists, but uh again, there's a lot of people that have been saying a lot of things.
3:51
I was looking for detail.
3:54
And then when Deputy Attorney General Blanche said uh that there was no basis for a civil rights investigation into the agent, well, uh that didn't sound too kosher to me either.
4:05
Now there's there's video footage that's come out that seems to indicate uh uh Becca, who was not driving, uh telling Renee to drive, just drive just before the shooting, but there's also video of Renee turning the steering wheel away from the officer as she began to move forward.
4:23
Again, there's a lot of infra could be interpreted many different ways.
4:28
Now again, the the FBI, they're part of the federal government.
4:31
I would tend to assume their their loyalties tend to lean that way.
4:35
Um, you know, so I again I'm still looking, I'm I'm starting to lean towards a bit more towards, you know, maybe uh the goods weren't as good as their name might imply.
4:47
Then again, I I've not seen evidence that the the shoot was as definitively good as the federal agents imply.
4:56
Remember, there was a recent Supreme Court case where they said you cannot simply look at the moment of incident, you have to look at the totalitary uh totalitary totality of the situation, meaning, did uh uh the officer uh um did he jump in front of the moving vehicle that puts him into danger, which means um that is not justification for lethal force.
5:22
Again, I I've seen sadly I've seen more politics running in this than anything else, but then again, that's not really much of a surprise, is it?
5:30
You know, we we're seeing politics push this around.
5:35
We're seeing politics becoming involved here.
5:38
And as I warned, this type of violent demonstration is spreading.
5:46
Uh, there was a shooting involving a federal agent on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
5:52
Uh spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff said that uh border patrol and homeland security were involved in a shooting um shortly before 7:30 a.m.
6:04
Uh they the border patrol informed Sheriff's Department that they were conducting an operation in the area, and um they said no one was struck by gunfire, uh, but um all the suspects that were detained.
6:17
But again, gunfire gets people nervous, right?
6:20
Gunfire is not something people want to hear.
6:25
And of course, after the the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, the idea of federal agents firing their weapons in, I believe, downtown Los Angeles.
6:36
Um, yeah, it's got a lot of people nervous and and and concerned.
6:42
Especially after there was another shooting in Northridge, where a gentleman was actually shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent uh back on New Year's Eve.
6:53
These things are they're concerning, right?
6:56
Because uh people want to be able to demonstrate, they want to be able to express their dissatisfaction.
7:03
And I have no problem with people peaceably uh expressing their dissatisfaction with the government.
7:10
I think it's a wonderful thing when people can come out and express their dissatisfaction with their government.
7:16
I think it's a beautiful thing.
7:18
The problem is when you go from a peaceful demonstration, when Pete you're dealing with a peaceful assembly into a violent assembly, and in some cases a riotous assembly.
7:31
And um, I think more and more what we're seeing are the I let me be a little bit uh self-in uh a little introspection.
7:42
Could it be that these peaceful demonstrations just aren't the ones making the news?
7:47
Could it be that there are peaceful demonstrations, but nobody pays much attention to them until violence erupts?
7:54
Now that has an interesting perverse incentive because it it actually incends people to get violent.
8:01
If the only way you can get uh your your point across is to be violent, there are people that are incented to do that.
8:08
Uh I understand the frustration and sometimes the desire to simply lash out, strike out, but that's not the way a free people react.
8:19
See, the thing about freedom, the thing about liberty is we tend to focus on ourselves.
8:24
We think of liberty as I get to do what I want to do when I want to do it.
8:31
True liberty, on the other hand, is when I let other people do what they want to do when they want to do it, as long as it doesn't harm me.
8:44
That's a very different perspective if you stop and think about it for a moment.
8:50
See, if liberty is, I let other people see the idea of freedom of speech, right?
8:55
That I mean I don't shut down people who say something I disagree with.
8:59
That's the bluty of freedom of speech.
9:03
Whereas we're dealing with a society that more and more people are saying, no, I demand that you restrict your speech so it doesn't offend me.
9:14
Now with that in mind, I mean you think about the the the whole political correctness, which has run among political correctness is a it's just self-censorship in with a pretty name.
9:26
And the people who are willing to use power to enforce their will on others, well, it shouldn't be surprising that we see uh people growing up that believe the violence, anything they don't like is violence against them, but their violence against others is justified because they're on the right side of history.
9:46
Again, remember, at the age of four or five, most Americans take their children, their as uh Russell Lumber used to call them their young heads full of mush, and they turn them over to a government institution.
9:59
A government
10:00
An institution which was designed around a socialist Marxist idea of uh uh uh of class and and uh uh uniformity.
10:12
In other words, everybody has to be exactly the same.
10:15
We take people, we we're gonna fit them into this mold.
10:18
This is what a first grader should be doing.
10:20
This is how a first grader should act.
10:23
And if they don't act that way, we're going to punish them because that doesn't fit our model.
10:28
Because we want them at the end of the year to go from first grade to second grade.
10:32
Whether or not they've learned the process becomes less important than pushing them through the system, turning them, and again, many of these teachers were brought up in a in a socialist Marxist uh um, if not a direct system, one that glorifies it.
10:50
This is capitalism bad, teaches their young people that America is evil.
10:55
Points out everything this country has done wrong and gives short shrift to anything this country has done that is great.
11:02
And looks at the the riotous 60s as a glorious thing and wishing to emulate that.
11:11
And again, what we're seeing in Minneapolis and now in Los Angeles, and we're expecting to see in New York based on reports coming out of there.
11:21
This is nothing new.
11:23
Just think of how often think of the demonstrations outside the political part, especially outside the Republican parties over the decades.
11:30
The uh the violent demonstrations outside the World Health Organization or the World Economic Forum or any of these groups.
11:37
Now, you may disagree with I disagree with most of them, but the willingness to reach for violence is a thing that I see as this is the socialist dystopia that they that again, Marxism calls.
11:52
You have to make people uncomfortable in their situation, otherwise there's no need for a revolution.
12:00
This idea of uh again capitalism of the rule of law becomes inconvenient to an agenda, and that is justification for violence because what they're doing is evil.
12:13
And sometimes they've got they may they may or may not have a point, right?
12:16
I've pointed out I've seen reports of uh illegal ice raids, uh, searches and seizures that were not reasonable, um, you know, detentions without warrants, or even a regional article of suspicion.
12:29
I've seen that evidence, but again, that all of a sudden you paint everybody as evil because we turn them into a class based society.
12:39
You've got the the ice and the anti-ICE.
12:42
You've got the you know, homeland security and the anti-homeland security.
12:46
You've got the Democrat and the Republican, and whatever you do, it's worth violence.
12:51
It violence becomes justified.
12:53
And then while it starts out as a small number of people, the number of people willing to use violence to get their way grows.
13:01
And it's this push towards a revolution that uh I'm I'm seeing coming to full bloom in Minneapolis and now spreading around the country.
13:16
And what I find the most disconcerting is the people that are pushing for the disruption and the the you know socialist utopia.
13:27
Apparently never learned from history that these pushes almost always lead into a socialist dystopia.
13:35
The Soviet Union was not the workers' paradise people claimed it to be.
13:40
The uh, you know, communist China is not the workers' paradise that people claim it to be.
13:48
And uh sadly, um, we're living with the consequences.
13:55
And while I don't think these demonstrations, I think these two shall pass because people are going to get tired of the mess and the disaster.
14:06
But it's gonna take time.
14:08
And during that time, you and me and others are gonna have to suffer the consequences of well, us allowing government entities to teach our children without any social or academic oversight, the consequences of hiring people in government that promise us goodies but are unwilling to um enforce the law, the consequences of a society that is heading towards socialism and never learn the dangers that socialism brings.
14:44
It's they've they'll they've they've seen part of the story, but not the rest of the story.
14:49
And uh I'm afraid they're gonna be a fair number of people who are gonna suffer a fair amount of harm because we are looking at this death spiral towards socialism, and are unwilling to really stand up and do something about it.
15:09
You know, it's not simply that, oh, well, you know, it's bad.
15:13
No, we're unwilling to, in some cases, even to say that it's evil, that it's wrong, or that people should not be allowed to demonstrate in a way that that damages other people.
15:24
I mean, look at Don Lemon.
15:25
Oh, this is just you have to put up with this demonstration.
15:28
No, I don't.
15:28
That church was private property that was invaded.
15:31
The the the parishioners had their rights violated.
15:35
They were deprived of their rights, and uh law enforcement did nothing about it.
15:42
Is that the future you really want?
15:45
A rule by mob because I've been talking about uh socialism.
15:50
This is this is democracy's death spiral.
15:53
This is what happens when we think we're a democracy, when we act like we're a democracy, then mob rule works because all you got to do is make enough of a pain to get a majority of the people to agree with you, even if it's just to shut you up and rights disappear.
16:11
And I don't know about you, that's not the America I want to live to my child.
16:16
But the question is, will we the people work hard to prevent it?
16:21
Now again, this is a pretty auspicious time to think about these things.
16:25
Why?
16:26
Because this July is the 250th anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of Independence.

Welcome back, everyday American Jeffrey join the Constitution study.
21:10
And yeah, we're looking at uh well the socialist influence, the democratic influence and the death spiral there leading us to.
21:18
I'm heading back to Minneapolis because it's been the focal point of so much recently of these uh um demonstrations, is uh again uh uh somewhere uh I'm I'm not saying that that the demonstrators don't have a an issue, a potential case uh of ICE acting badly.
21:40
But as so often happens, it turns into a class fight between again ICE, anti-ICE and uh, you know, it it's spiling out of control.
21:51
Uh I think it was last week I talked about there was a a was it last week or the week before a a Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis refused to rent rooms to ICE agents when they showed their um their government ID.
22:05
And of course, it was interesting because as I pointed out, that's a privately owned business as private property.
22:11
They are a Hilton franchise, and well, Hilton basically said, uh, nope, you're not part of us anymore.
22:17
That's not how we do things.
22:19
And now I find out there's a couple more uh hotels that apparently have notified uh multiple ice agents that rooms they've already booked would no longer be available.
22:32
So this the second hotel ad is it's actually a double tree.
22:35
And someone posted a picture of the the letter they received.
22:39
Uh they say, please know that your safety and well-being will always be our top priority.
22:43
I always laugh at nonsense like that.
22:45
That's you're pure you know corporate tripe.
22:48
Due to heightened public safety concerns in St.
22:51
Paul, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our hotel, and your reservation will be canceled effective January uh Sunday, January 18th, 2026 at 12 p.m.
23:01
So, okay, they've decided to close their hotel because of these uh the demonstrations that showed up in St.
23:09
Paul.
23:11
Now, there are some allegations that uh uh government employees are being treated differently than others, and fine.
23:19
Again, private businesses, uh they are franchisees, these are locally owned businesses, they are privately owned.
23:27
If they think that it's best for them to shut down, that's their right.
23:32
If they believe that it's best to uh maybe remove ICE personnel from their premises, especially based on uh the recent attack on a a church for having a pastor that was a temporary the uh uh um uh employee of or was temporarily in charge of the ICE field office.
23:53
They may have some some, they have legitimate concerns, and whether or not they decided decide to stand up or to fold, that's their decision.
24:03
I keep saying, you know, we all have that point that we will stand for, and that point that we won't cross, and it's different for everyone.
24:11
Sure, I'm sure there are people that would rather, you know, stand out front with a with a firearm to protect their property than close.
24:20
There are others that just don't want to do that.
24:22
I don't I don't blame them for that.
24:25
That's their decision.
24:26
They have every legal right to do it.
24:28
I may have done things differently.
24:30
I don't know.
24:30
I'm not there, I'm not involved.
24:33
Uh, but again, this is what happens.
24:36
This is the chaos that comes when not only are demonstrations allowed to spiral beyond peaceful demonstrations into um into riots and into uh uh scenarios of of well, infringing on the rights of others.
24:54
It's what happens when those we have entrusted to enforce the laws.
24:58
That governments, remember Declaration of Independence says governments are created to secure our rights when the people in government fail to do that, the people we hire to do exercise the role of government fail to do so, are derelict in their duties.
25:13
This is what happens.
25:14
Some people are saying it's not worth it to me.
25:17
It's not worth it to me.
25:19
It would be better off for me, in my opinion, to shut this down because I don't trust that that uh the mobs will be kept under control and that the mobs won't come after me after us, either because well, they're just mobs, or because there's a report that there's doesn't even have to be a truthful report.
25:37
Could just be someone claiming they're ice agents in there and the mob may show up.
25:42
This is the death spiral.
25:46
How is the city supposed to run when businesses have to shut down because those in government refuse to do their job?
25:53
And as I pointed out, this is not just happening in uh in Minneapolis.
25:58
And I talked about LA.
26:00
Um, guess what?
26:01
It's happening again now in Washington, DC.
26:06
Uh, on the evening of January 20th, a few hundred protesters took to the streets of DC to deny denounce uh ice.
26:15
Now, again, as long as they're peacefully demonstr uh uh gathering a peaceful demonstration, they have every legal reason to do so.
26:24
I don't have a problem with that.
26:26
Um what is interesting though is that uh it was led by the party for socialism and liberation.
26:34
Yeah, a a Marxist group uh that uh well, let's just say they are not friends of your rights and freedom.
26:43
And this case, unlike uh what's been going on a lot of Minneapolis, they were escorted by law enforcement.
26:50
Um they they had their march, they ended just uh outside of Lafayette Square near the White House.
26:56
Um, and uh that was it.
26:59
Um there were social media posts uh for uh uh of plans for for other locations, including New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
27:09
But here in but in I should say here in DC, uh the Marxists showed up, they got their chance to demonstrate as contingent with you know federal law, the Constitution of the United States.
27:21
They as long as they were peaceful, the law enforcement was there to make sure things remained under control.
27:26
They had their little march and apparently went home.
27:30
It's kind of weird to say that the Marxists in DC um, well, they did things right by the by the reports that I've seen, right?
27:40
They they didn't vandalize, they didn't uh uh you know try to occupy a church, they simply demonstrated.
27:50
And uh okay, I have every the Marxists have every right to peacefully demonstrate, to peacefully protest, to peacefully assemble, to have their little march.
28:00
That's not the problem is what we're seeing again in Minneapolis, in LA, and um well, I'm I'm afraid we're probably gonna hear from other major cities, is when these become beyond mere peaceful protests, uh uh a voicing of their opinion, a call for action into actual violence, damage, and most importantly, infringing on the rights of others.
28:26
And in comparing and contrasting DC to Minneapolis, the question I think should be asked.
28:32
Was it just that the demonstration in DC was peaceful?
28:36
Or was the active presence of law enforcement, did it help to keep things peaceful?
28:44
In other words, did you know when DC, and again, uh, you know, DC is uh is a is a leftist Marxist uh center.
28:51
Um, you know, yeah, Trump is the president, but let's face it, DC is as itself is not known for its libertarian or liberty uh viewpoints.
29:01
Um, you know, but was the local the fact that police were they were escorted by law enforcement.
29:07
Like I don't have the details.
29:09
Maybe they're a little dust-ups that the police dealt with quickly.
29:12
Maybe just the fact that there were police there discourage people from acting badly.
29:17
But that's what we see is we we see here's your rights, you can express them as long as you don't harm others, and having law enforcement there to help keep the peace.
29:28
Um, well, seem to have done a decent job in DC.
29:33
Speaking of DC, guess what?
29:36
Attorney General Pam Bondi.
29:38
Um she's threatened legal sanctions against uh some Minnesota officials for challenging the deployment of federal immigration officers to their state.
29:50
Apparently, the DOJ has accused uh Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison with finding legally groundless motions that according to the attorney.
30:00
Attorney General Bondy says, violate the federal rules of civil procedure.
30:04
Hmm.
30:05
But that's not a criminal act now, is it?
30:08
Now, apparently, uh, Ms.
30:10
Bondi wrote a letter in which she said, if you do not withdraw that motion, the United States reserves the right to take appropriate action, including sanctions or other disciplinary action.
30:19
Guess what, ladies and gentlemen?
30:20
That is actually a violation of the First Amendment.
30:25
I know I keep pointing out when people claim first amendment that this is an actual violation of the First Amendment.
30:32
The Attorney General's office is created by Congress through legislation.
30:39
And that cannot include the power to deprive someone of the right to petition the government for a greeduse of grievance.
30:47
She's uh trying to bully them in the state of Minnesota into pulling their lawsuit because she doesn't like it.
30:53
Now she claims it violates federal rules of civil procedure.
30:58
But guess what?
30:58
Ms.
30:59
Bondy doesn't get to make up the rules.
31:02
If this lawsuit violates those, then all she has to do is file a brief with the court saying this is a violation of the rules.
31:10
Here's the rules, here's the violation, and the case would be dismissed.
31:15
Ladies and gentlemen, like I guess this is a this is a true First Amendment violation.
31:19
I'm wondering, I'd love to see Attorney General, who I am no fan of, by the way, file a civil rights lawsuit against Ms.
31:27
Bondy for attempting to deprive him of a right protected by the Constitution of the United States.
31:31
Deprivation of rights under color of law.
31:35
You see, the First Amendment doesn't say that you can't that the Congress shall make no law depriving you of your right to petition a government free disagreements unless the attorney general says otherwise.
31:44
No, she's made an accusation.
31:46
She's not proven a fact.
31:48
She claims that this lawsuit violates Rule 11 of the uh federal rules of silver procedure, that the suit is is frivolous.
31:58
Right?
31:59
So that's what her claim is.
32:01
But to threaten people with punishment for exercising a right protected by the Constitution is a deprivation of rights under color of law.
32:09
This is a person of a 1983 action.
32:13
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, wouldn't be a bad idea to consider maybe she should be uh should be people should consider articles of impeachment because it's also a crime under color of law to deprive someone of a right protected by the Constitution of the United States.
32:28
That means Ms.
32:28
Bondy may actually be committing a federal crime.
32:33
Now again, I don't think the lawsuit really has much weight, and I don't uh particularly like uh A.G.
32:40
Ellison.
32:40
I think he's he's made some really bad decisions on really bad positions, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have rights.
32:46
And it doesn't mean the state of Minnesota and the citizens they represent don't have right.
32:51
If they wish to challenge ICE's what ICE is doing in Minnesota, how they're doing it, a legal, a lawsuit is the perfect venue for doing so.
33:04
Let the fast come out, let it be decided in a court of law, if better yet, by a jury.
33:12
And uh again, this is this is Ms.
33:14
uh Ms.
33:15
Bondi uh again, violating her oath to the Constitution and potentially committing a federal crime by using intimidation to try and prevent a lawsuit.
33:26
Now, there may be a question of standing.
33:29
Maybe Minnesota merely needs to mate and say, go for it, Ms.
33:32
Bondi, take action.
33:34
And as soon as you do, we sue you, we wipe out your qualified immunity.
33:39
We see you, the Department of Justice, and anybody who takes action against us for exercising our right protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
33:49
And I want to make this point because I get accused of a lot of things uh uh uh uh frequently.
33:54
And here's an example that I'm it's not partisan.
33:58
It's not, you know, it's not because Ms.
34:00
Bondy, she's Trump's AG.
34:02
I don't care.
34:04
All right, she's it she's violating her oath, she's breaking the law, and I'm pointing it out.
34:10
The same way I point out you're right.
34:12
This lawsuit may be absolutely frivolous, but if everybody that filed a frivolous lawsuit could simply be punished, uh uh how do they put it?
34:20
Um, have appropriate action taken, including sanctions or other disciplinary action, simply for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
34:30
Our legal system would lock up and freeze as if it was buried in concrete.
34:37
No, this is the the again, the lawsuit, I think, from what I've seen or I haven't seen the details of the lawsuit.
34:43
I don't think the lawsuit has a lot of, but she just threatened punishment for someone exercising their rights.
34:49
And that, ladies and gentlemen, I find much more offensive than a frivolous lawsuit.
34:55
And another example of it's not just the demonstrators that are running us down this socialist death spiral.
35:02
This is what happens in socialist countries.
35:05
You can't challenge the government.
35:08
Even if you're a state government, you can't, you're not allowed to challenge.
35:11
How dare you challenge the federal government?
35:13
You have no right to challenge the federal government.
35:16
This is the craziness that we're seeing.
35:19
And again, it becomes this death spiral.
35:24
Where uh let's face it, our futures are in danger.
35:28
And they're being endangered not just by the demonstrators, not just by the government of Minnesota, but in this case, by members of the federal government.
35:37
Potentially the ICE agents, most definitely Attorney General Bondi.
35:43
And I would like to remind her that uh, you know, she took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States.
35:50
And uh that she's not supposed to stop doing it simply because she finds it inconvenient.
35:56
Now, if you're talking about protecting your rights, sometimes we talk a lot about government violating our often it's these organizations.
36:04
So let me ask you uh do you like the idea of of this uh um this Marxist organization, the party for socialism and liberation.
36:13
I wonder where they're getting their money.
36:15
Maybe you're actually helping to support them.
36:18
I know you don't do it directly.
36:20
There are companies that you do business with that may be supporting this organization.
36:24
That's why I there's a lot of companies I don't do business with anymore.
36:28
But there's good news.
36:29
There are companies you can do business with that actually defend your rights.
36:34
One of them is Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative while this provider.
36:39
And yes, they share our values.
36:41
Now I joined them several years ago, not because they're a Christian conservative organization, not because of their great 4G and 5G coverage nationwide, not because of their customer service, which is 100% US-based.
36:54
I did it because they take a portion of every dollar to support organizations that are fighting for our rights.
36:59
First Liberty, Turning Point USA, Susan B.
37:02
Anthony, Folds of Honor, Students for Life America are just a few.
37:06

Welcome back, everyday American jury join the Constitution study.
40:50
We're talking about the death spiral that the socialist movements are pushing America toward.
40:56
We're spinning around the drain, and well, at least in some areas, but they're growing.
41:01
And I really want people to think about what we can do to stop it.
41:05
Now, again, a lot of this has been focused around Minneapolis and Minnesota lately, because that's been the recent epicenter of this insanity.
41:14
Now, there's been some crazy, some other crazy things going on.
41:17
Um several Minnesota politicians, listed all as Democrats, apparently having getting grand jury subpoenas.
41:29
Uh Governor Walsh, Attorney General Ellison, uh Minneapolis Mayor Frey, um, and as part of this investigation by the Department of Justice into their allegations of obstruction of federal immigration enforcement.
41:44
A grand jury has been uh impaneled and they are seeking subpoenas, uh asking for records and communications connected with their the their actions during the tensions of immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
42:00
Now, apparently uh Governor Walls has confirmed to a local Fox affiliate that a subpoena was delivered to state officials.
42:08
Um Mayor Fry's uh office said that uh they also received a a subpoena, but uh G Ellison has not yet confirmed whether or not he's been served as a subpoena.
42:20
Now, as I've mentioned before, I've been served a federal subpoena.
42:24
Uh I was being called to testify in a case involving a previous employer in another state.
42:30
Um, and uh I can tell you it's it's an interesting uh situation.
42:35
You know, they're very official, you know, the commanding views show up and and all sorts, and again, this was a grand jury subpoena demanding information.
42:45
And again, they are reportedly linked to the federal investigation into uh what authorities describe as an alleged conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law enforcement operations during the Department of Homeland Security's operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.
43:02
Now, here is where I'm a little concerned.
43:06
Now, granted, this is a grand jury subpoena.
43:09
And uh I I recently um uh I I wrote an article about a subpoena from the New Jersey attorney general to a pro-life pregnancy center.
43:22
Uh, and I point out that uh subpoena, it it's weird.
43:26
Subpoenas are supposedly legally binding, but they're a violation of the Fourth Amendment, right?
43:32
Because they're basically asking to seize records and communication from these individuals without a warrant.
43:39
Now, the the Fourth Amendment does say that there has it has to be reasonable, which is where I think there may be enough of a of a wiggle room there to say, well, no, we don't have a warrant yet, but we are we have a reason to gather this information.
43:54
There's reason what what the grand jury is seeking is based on some reasonable article of suspicion to do an investigation to see what's going on here.
44:03
Um but I'm I'm always a little iffy when people are talking about subpoenas, which is going to come up a little later in the program.
44:11
I have another subpoena story that I want to get to.
44:14
But uh this does show federal in uh federal interest in investigating this.
44:19
Now, again, uh we're dealing with a question of federal power.
44:26
And since the Constitution does not vest the federal government with the authority to regulate immigration, Congress can set rules for naturalization for becoming a citizen, but they are not granted power with immigration.
44:42
So uh the idea that states cannot uh um implement their own immigration, that they can that they have to cow to uh federal laws that are not well, they're neither necessary or proper to put into effect a uh the powers vested in the government of the United States, they're unconstitutional and therefore invalid and void.
45:03
So it may be a very interesting standoff if anybody actually looks at this and says, wait a second, um you are demanding a subpoena without a warrant, uh, which means if there's no warrant, where's my legal demand to show up?
45:17
Uh uh, you know, where's you're dealing with a constitutional question here?
45:22
Because again, what is the the reasonable suspicion that um that the grand jury has to demand this information?
45:31
There's got to be reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime before any uh seizure of records is constitutional to be reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.
45:42
But uh you've also got the conflict between um the Constitution and Federal Immigration Law.
45:48
So I don't expect that to actually come up, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it because again, to me, it's it's it's interesting.
45:54
Now, as I mentioned, I have some more information about subpoenas.
45:57
And of course, you've had the whole Jeffrey Epstein probe and and Congress has been doing a bunch, and uh uh apparently there's a move afoot in Congress to um cite or I guess refer a bill in Hillary Clinton for contempt of Congress for not complying with a congressional subpoena related to the Epstein case.
46:20
Now, here again, here's the things that are interesting.
46:23
Congress does not have the authority to compel attendance.
46:28
Congress has no constitutional authority to issue subpoenas, right?
46:34
The Constitution does invest in Congress the authority to detain people to compel people to deprive them of their liberty and their property without due process of law.
46:47
Congress doesn't have that legal authority.
46:49
Now, again, courts have whiffed on this because uh, well, again, courts are fellow judges who are once lawyers who went to law school where they were not taught the Constitution of the United States, they were taught the opinions of judges.
47:02
Many of those opinions are flat out wrong and based on flat out lies.
47:06
Yet the House Oversight Committee voted to refer uh uh both uh Bill and Hillary Clinton uh for charges of what they say criminal contempt of Congress.
47:17
But again, first of all, where in the Constitution does the idea that you could you have to follow what Congress says.
47:25
Contempt of Congress is is ignoring or not treating Congress the way they think they should be fitted.
47:30
That's not a power vested in Congress.
47:33
So contempt of Congress is not a legitimate crime.
47:38
So you have Congress now has taken made an illegal, a basically a uh a violation of the law because they are demanding information without uh uh a warrant, without due process, and when people say, you know what, you don't have the legal authority to tell me that to demand my my attendance or demand I show up, well then they make up another crime of contempt of Congress.
48:08
Bull crap.
48:10
I mean, it it's uh uh uh it's all Congress just getting their their knickers in a twist and trying to use these fake made-up laws and documents in an attempt to intimidate people.
48:21
Now, listen, I am no fan of either Bill or Hillary Clinton.
48:25
I believe there is sufficient evidence of many crimes that they have committed.
48:30
Um, and uh uh the but that doesn't mean that Congress gets to ignore the law simply because, well, now the Republicans are in charge of the the two houses nominally, and uh they want to go after their political opponents.
48:44
Sorry, that's not the way the system, it's not the way the system was designed to work.
48:49
It's not legal, it's not just, and in fact, this is Congress violating uh night the section 1983.
48:58
It's an attempt to deprive these two people, citizens of the United States of a right protected by the Constitution of the United States under color of law, and you cannot criminalize someone exercising their rights.
49:15
And as I said, you know, we don't trust the courts because courts get things wrong all the time.
49:20
They simply cannot apparently read or comprehend the basic English language.
49:25
And uh I have another example of that, and this is to me, this is interesting.
49:29
So uh there has been let's just say a Bruhaha, a tete tete, shall we say, involving a U.S.
49:38
attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
49:42
Now, the problem involves um the appointments clause.
49:48
And uh the allegation that when Donald Trump, I should say the attorney general um installed, you know, installed Ms.
49:56
Halligan as an interim U.S.
49:58
attorney for the Eastern District of
50:00
Virginia.
50:01
Now, the claim is that it was invalid because I guess they said that uh it vi it didn't follow federal law allowing um the attorney general to make the temporary appointment.
50:15
This became important because she had filed uh court cases against um Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, and uh uh James Comey, and those cases got dismissed because they said she didn't have the legal authority to pass them, which left that vacant.
50:34
Well, now you have a U.S.
50:36
district judge, a uh M.
50:38
Hannah Lauch, basically issuing an order directing the court clerk to publish a vacancy announcement on the court's website in the Richmond Times dispatch.
50:49
Now, this sounds a little odd to me.
50:52
Uh, first we have the question of a court basically claiming the ability using using attorney discipline to try and coerce the executive branch into uh conforming to their uh uh their desires.
51:07
It also seems to me like to violate the uh uh the appointments clause.
51:12
So they filed a a vacancy announcement.
51:16
Um, but the judges don't have the again.
51:21
Where does the judge get the authority to say this is uh uh who shouldn't shouldn't be appointed to a position?
51:28
You see, if you look at it, the um uh the appointments clause as the president appoints, and the Senate, in most cases, in this case, Senate would have to um uh to approve, right, with the advising consent for a permanent position, but this is an interim position.
51:47
So basically, again, you have the courts playing a piss and match with the executive because apparently Ms.
51:51
Halligan still claims to be the interim U.S.
51:54
attorney for the Eastern District of uh Virginia because while again, remember, courts have neither force nor will, only judgment.
52:02
They think she doesn't, but the executive branch for whom she actually works.
52:07
Remember, attorneys don't work for the judicial branch, they work for the executive branch.
52:11
Well, they they say, yeah, she does.
52:13
We looked at your opinion and we disagree.
52:17
Did this again shows to me the petulance of several district judges to use their positions for a political agenda to oppose a political move?
52:31
Uh and I the fact that they posted, they had no legal authority to post a vacancy announcement.
52:38
Um, you know, I I'm wondering, did they think they're going to have the opportunity to decide who fills that position?
52:44
Because again, it's not part of the judicial branch, it's part of the executive branch, which means the only way that position can be filled legally, uh I should say permanently and legally, is with an uh a nomination from the president, a um with the advice and consent of the Senate, and then a final appointment by the president.
53:04
Remember, the president does all the appointments.
53:06
Uh, he does it with the advice and consent of the Senate, but he does the appointments.
53:10
This also, by the way, is an interim position.
53:13
Uh and I'm not sure about the the um uh the law that uh they were talking about what it says um how this interim U.S.
53:26
attorney was placed.
53:28
I didn't I looked at the at the uh the order real quickly, and it it just says it violated it.
53:35
I didn't see where it was actually wrong, but I haven't dug that deep.
53:39
So um again, it this seems to be more of a political thing.
53:43
It got Mr.
53:43
Comey and and Miss James off temporary temporarily.
53:48
They it was dismissed without prejudice.
53:50
But again, this seems to be more politics than judicial.
53:55
And again, this is the uh quite common in the the idea of the Marxist uh uh socialist move.
54:03
We'll just let the the courts decide.
54:06
You always have a ruling class in these socialist uh scenarios, and that's really I think what we're seeing.
54:13
Now the question is remember everybody we're talking about here works for their public servants.
54:19
The people hire them or they hired their employers, and I think it's about time we the people start taking that position seriously and hold accountable those people that are doing this.
54:30
Did this judge um get it wrong?
54:33
Hey, maybe they got it wrong, that's fine.
54:36
If they push it, is that bad behavior?
54:38
And that does that uh and put them on the track for an impeachment.
54:43
What about everything else that's going on?
54:45
The the uh alleged bad behavior from so many other places.
54:50
This is that death spiral.
54:52
This is that you know, mob mentality, might makes right, and in those scenarios, your rights are easily destroyed.
55:00
Now, if you want to find out more, again, I recommend reading and studying the constitution.
55:04
That's what our first chief justice said.
55:06
Every member of the state ought diligently to read and study the constitution of his country, teacher rising generation be free by knowing their rights will sooner perceive their when they are violated, be the better prepared to defend and assert them.
55:17
If you want some help, I recommend my book, The Constitution Study, returning the constitution to we the people.
55:24
Just go to Constitution Study.com/slash shop.
55:26
You'll find it in the book section along with all my other books.
55:29
And again, you can read, you can study and be on, be prepared to defend and assert your rights and do so legally and properly.
55:38
And by the way, when you buy anything from the website, all that money goes to keeping the constitution study up and running, so we can keep bringing you this content.
55:48
That book, by the way, is a clause by clause.
55:50
It is my clause by clause study through the entire Declaration of Independence and Constitution, including all the amendments written in plain conversational English, so everybody can read them.
56:00
It was literally designed so individuals and small groups could read and study the Constitution by themselves, you know, at their own pace.
56:09
So again, head to Constitution Study.com/slash shop and head to the book section, you'll find that book and many other books, all designed to help you become constitutionally literate, to recognize when your rights are being violated and to be prepared to defend and assert them and to do so legally.
56:28
