Killing the goose that laid the golden eggs: America’s self-inflicted decline · 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.
• 0:31
  You're probably familiar with the story of the goose that laid golden eggs.
• 0:35
  Now, if you have such a goose, I would guess that you would do everything possible to keep that goose healthy and laying.
• 0:44
  So why are so many people trying to destroy the America that has been laying golden eggs for centuries?
• 0:51
  Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teach arising generation be free.
• 0:58
  Now, I'm not saying that America is perfect.
• 1:01
  No man-made creation is perfect.
• 1:04
  But if you look at our history, we've done a pretty good job laying golden eggs.
• 1:10
  And I don't just mean monetary.
• 1:12
  There's a reason why the United States is still the largest economy in the world.
• 1:19
  Our closest rival, China, has a population more than three times our size, yet they still cannot equal our economy.
• 1:30
  Now, I'm always amazed at the number of people that come here or grow up here and look at that.
• 1:37
  They come here because things are great.
• 1:39
  Or they're born here and they they grow up in this and then decide to change it, decide to destroy it.
• 1:46
  I live most of my life in upstate New York, from the ages of about 11 to um 51 or 52.
• 1:54
  So 40 years.
• 1:56
  Now, where I live, it was interesting because a lot of people from New York City like to buy summer homes and weekend homes in around where I lived.
• 2:06
  And I always was always amazed by the few that would come from the city to the country, and then try to, because they wanted to live out in the country.
• 2:16
  They wanted to live, get out of the city, and then tried to turn this country into the very city they had left.
• 2:22
  My term for them was cityates.
• 2:25
  They left something to come upstate, and then they tried to turn it into what they just left.
• 2:30
  And that's not a unique proposition.
• 2:35
  So Boston mayor, Michelle Wu, uh, chatter recorded almost a year ago.
• 2:41
  Uh, she had a clip which made a very interesting statement.
• 2:47
  Every person, every human being has the legal right to come to the United States and seek asylum or shelter.
• 2:54
  No, let's face it, on the face of that, there she's almost true.
• 2:58
  Right?
• 2:58
  They have the right to seek asylum and seek shelter.
• 3:02
  Uh, they don't have the right to come to this country to do that, and they don't have the legal right to be granted that.
• 3:09
  But I find it interesting.
• 3:10
  I'd love her to answer a simple question.
• 3:12
  Where do they get that legal right?
• 3:15
  Because it certainly isn't in any of the laws of the United States that establishes this legal right, and certainly not a matter of the law of nations that believes that you have the right to come here.
• 3:27
  So I find it very interesting that this country, which again, she is a mayor of a major city, she's done very well.
• 3:35
  Why does she wish to tear it apart?
• 3:37
  Why does she wish to destroy the very thing that made this country great?
• 3:43
  Now, listen, yes, we are a nation of legal immigrants.
• 3:49
  People have wanted to come here for centuries.
• 3:53
  Well, century and a half, whatever, because of the great opportunity.
• 3:57
  They wanted to come here to become a part of America and continue to make it great.
• 4:03
  My ancestors came here.
• 4:05
  Uh, some came from Eastern Europe, some came from uh actually from Canada, but they came here, some from England.
• 4:13
  They came here to become Americans, not to make America something else.
• 4:20
  So if someone says, I want asylum, I want to seek, you have to ask.
• 4:25
  You don't have a right to it.
• 4:27
  This, by the way, is a common misuse of the term right, which uh is so often heralded by those who say you have a no, no one does have a right to come here.
• 4:38
  This is the United States.
• 4:40
  This is our property, collectively owned by the citizens of the United States.
• 4:46
  And just like your own home, we have a right to determine who comes in and under what conditions.
• 4:53
  But this idea that we want to turn America into what, just like everybody else?
• 5:00
  You know, it kind of reminds me of a line from the movie The Incredible.
• 5:03
  Everyone can be super.
• 5:05
  And when everyone's super, no one will be.
• 5:29
  Do they do it by bringing everybody up to our level?
• 5:33
  No.
• 5:34
  They would seem to work very, very, very hard to drag us down to other people's level.
• 5:41
  So these kind of cast-off sayings uh of again, Mayor Wu that everybody has a right to come here.
• 5:49
  No.
• 5:49
  I would ask her, does that mean I have a right to walk into your mansion, sit down and have supper?
• 5:55
  No.
• 5:56
  Do I have the right to ask?
• 5:58
  Yes.
• 5:59
  Do I have the right to come there first and then ask?
• 6:02
  No.
• 6:03
  And it's the same for the United States.
• 6:05
  This is our property that we own.
• 6:10
  But this idea that you know we shouldn't enforce our laws is not only prevalent.
• 6:14
  Again, we spent the previous administration basically ignoring failing the president's duty to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.
• 6:23
  He simply ignored them and actually went out of his way to violate them.
• 6:27
  He committed federal crimes.
• 6:29
  Nobody seemed to do anything about it.
• 6:32
  And of course, now you've got Minneapolis and uh, you know, all the craziness there, and you have law enforcement that doesn't even seem to want to enforce the law, but everybody seems to be going after ice.
• 6:43
  But I find it interesting is they don't go after ice because they have evidence that ICE violated the law.
• 6:49
  They go after ice because it makes them feel better.
• 6:54
  Another example now coming out of Portland, Oregon.
• 6:57
  Now, uh ICE and DHS uh have been going through a lot of major cities and during a well, they'll call it a demonstration.
• 7:07
  They're protesters against ICE.
• 7:10
  Uh protesters that got were getting a bit rowdy.
• 7:13
  So federal officials use tear gas to help control the crowd.
• 7:20
  Now, if you listen to uh Mayor Wilson of Portland, you hear today federal forces deployed heavy waves of chemical munitions impacting a peaceful daytime protest where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threats, and posed no danger to federal forces.
• 7:37
  To those who continue to work for ICE, resign.
• 7:40
  To those who control this facility, leave.
• 7:43
  Now again, he claims these were peaceful protesters.
• 7:46
  Was that the same peaceful protesters that were uh uh that that were damaging uh vehicles and and storming churches in in Minneapolis?
• 7:57
  Those types of peaceful protesters.
• 8:00
  Now, if federal forces violated the law, if they did not have reason to use those munitions, why don't you file criminal charges?
• 8:08
  Because they probably didn't violate the law.
• 8:12
  You're just playing politics to turn Portland into the same cesspool, many of these illegal immigrants left.
• 8:22
  That makes you, in my mind, a city it.
• 8:25
  Because if you look at his statement closely, he said the vast majority of those present violated no law.
• 8:31
  Well, does that mean you don't enforce the law against those who are breaking the law because, well, the vast majority didn't do anything wrong?
• 8:39
  Now, the fact that you're at this protest and members of people that were there did something illegal, maybe it's time for you to separate yourself from the criminal activity in these demonstrations, Mayor Wilson.
• 8:52
  Maybe instead of complaining about ICE actually enforcing the law, maybe you should enforce the law.
• 8:58
  I mean, if if Portland police were there, maybe they would have been able to do something before it came to the use of tear gas.
• 9:06
  But no, you didn't want to do that because you're more interested in talking point, because you think, I'm assuming you think, along the lines of Mayor Wu that listen, everybody should who comes here illegally should be allowed to stay here.
• 9:19
  That you know, they broke the law, but we we don't care.
• 9:22
  We just as soon have this as the same despotic cesspool that many of these people left.
• 9:28
  Uh Mr.
• 9:29
  Wilson went on to say that Portland will continue to stand with our immigrant neighbors who deserve safety, dignity, and the full protection of the communities they helped to they help build.
• 9:39
  What about those other communities?
• 9:40
  What about the communities that are there?
• 9:42
  Do they deserve safety and dignity?
• 9:44
  Do they deserve the full protection?
• 9:46
  Hey, what about protection of the law?
• 9:49
  Well, they didn't do it and commit a crime.
• 9:51
  If they enter this country illegally, that is a crime.
• 9:53
  First time it's a misdemeanor, second time it's a felony.
• 9:58
  But again, I'm always finding it as you know.
• 10:00
  Mr.
• 10:00
  Wilson, I don't know if he was born in this country.
• 10:03
  I don't know how long he's been here.
• 10:05
  But he's got a pretty good job.
• 10:06
  He is, again, a mayor of a good sized city in this country.
• 10:12
  I'm assuming he makes a good living.
• 10:15
  He has plenty of rights and protections.
• 10:17
  He has every right to make this statement.
• 10:19
  I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to open his mouth and prove he's an idiot.
• 10:26
  But why does he want to change this into something else?
• 10:30
  Why does he not want certain laws enforced?
• 10:32
  If he really thought these laws were wrong, what's he doing to change the laws?
• 10:36
  Nothing.
• 10:38
  Because again, this isn't to me, it seems less about um less about actual implying fulfilling the law.
• 10:46
  It's more about let's kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
• 10:50
  Let's kill what made America a not just a financial powerhouse, but a disseminator of freedom around the world.
• 10:59
  Think of how many millions of people live free because of what America has done.
• 11:05
  Twice we came to save Europe from despotism.
• 11:11
  We saved the Asian county, the Asian areas from despotism.
• 11:17
  We shed blood and treasure to do this.
• 11:21
  And now they want to change us into that.
• 11:30
  And again, look at Mare Mandami, right?
• 11:33
  The United States did not grow because it was socialist.
• 11:37
  Now that we've got all those those powers and riches and freedoms, now he wants to bring in socialism to drain all of that to feed off of our history.
• 11:47
  And again, look at history.
• 11:52
  If socialism is so great, why do so many people need to be forced into it?
• 11:57
  Now granted, New York City, majority of members of the citizens of New York City voted for socialism.
• 12:04
  Fine.
• 12:05
  You should get what you're good, what you voted for, and you should get it good and hard.
• 12:09
  Uh New York City wants to go down to a socialist cesspool.
• 12:13
  Don't expect me to bail you out.
• 12:16
  Because you're not going to kill the goose.
• 12:17
  I mean, New York City is a financial center of the country, if not the world.
• 12:23
  New York City, again, I lived there for a few years.
• 12:25
  I used to go there for work frequently.
• 12:28
  New York City is both an amazing and awful place.
• 12:32
  But if you take everything that made it amazing and you destroy it, why would people want to come back?
• 12:40
  They're literally taking the goose that laid the golden egg and killing it.
• 12:47
  And then wondering why there are no more golden eggs.
• 12:52
  I know it sounds crazy, but that seems to be the way they go about doing things, which makes you wonder.
• 12:58
  What do they expect?
• 13:00
  And I also don't understand.
• 13:02
  We've we focused in this segment about about cities.
• 13:05
  There's more to this than just what's going on in the cities.
• 13:08
  Um, before I get to that, though, you know, I do have to take a break.
• 13:12
  I want to remind you that um even though there are people that are trying to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, the goose is still there.
• 13:20
  And we should still celebrate it.
• 13:22

  Now, before I take my break, I want to remind you that you know, I've seen studies that look at the nutritional value of our food.
• 15:40
  So with all the the corporate farming and and whatnot, it seems our food doesn't have all the nutrients you used to.
• 15:47
  In fact, some reports say up to 85% of the nutrients our body needs are farmed out of the soil.
• 15:54
  They no longer exist in our food.

  Welcome back, everyday American Jewry.
• 20:10
  Join the Constitution study today.
• 20:12
  Well, we're looking at why people try killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
• 20:16
  Now, we talked a bit about the you know the demonstrations and whatnot.
• 20:22
  I want to look at the question of the rule of law.
• 20:25
  Because as much as we talk about the financial power, the military power, our right to protect it by the rule of law.
• 20:33
  And when that rule of law is restrained, when it's destroyed, well, you're you're destroying a goose that's led the golden egg of laid the golden egg of freedom and liberty to so many Americans.
• 20:47
  In this situation, I'm looking at uh uh federal district judge Fred Beary.
• 20:52
  Now, he issued a decision in a habeas corpus case involving uh Adrian Arias and his son Liam.
• 21:01
  Now, these the the Mr.
• 21:03
  Arias was uh captured on a warrant for deportation for being in this country illegally.
• 21:10
  His young son, of course, would go with him.
• 21:14
  And they filed a habeas course.
• 21:16
  Habeas is the the right to be heard in a court.
• 21:19
  Now, okay, I I really don't have a problem with that.
• 21:22
  When I looked though at the order the the judge gave, the opinion and the order, that's when problems started popping up for me.
• 21:33
  Reading from the opinion, we have the case has his genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently, even if it requires traumatizing children.
• 21:46
  This court and others regularly send undocumented people to prison and orders them deported, but do so by proper legal procedures.
• 21:55
  Well, I really don't care if the judge considers whether it's ill-conceived or incompetently implemented.
• 22:02
  His job is not to decide whether or not the law is good.
• 22:06
  His job is to apply the law to the case.
• 22:12
  Was he legally, Mr.
• 22:14
  Arias?
• 22:15
  Was he legally detained and legally flagged for deportation?
• 22:21
  I don't really care.
• 22:22
  The judge, your job is not to decide whether or not it was it legal, meaning, yes, did it follow the law.
• 22:28
  That law includes the constitution.
• 22:29
  Everything else is merely, well, it's just it's peacocking.
• 22:34
  You're trying to make yourself look good.
• 22:36
  It's like you're trying to hear yourself, uh, do you want to hear yourself speak?
• 22:40
  At one point he claims to give a civics lesson to the government.
• 22:43
  Well, here's a civic lesson for you.
• 22:45
  When you wrote uh observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty and its quest no know no bounds and are bereft of human decency.
• 23:00
  Well, uh, again, the president is not hired to faithfully execute what you think is human decency.
• 23:06
  He's to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.
• 23:11
  You may not like it.
• 23:12
  You make it think it's cruel.
• 23:13
  And in some cases, it may even be cruel.
• 23:17
  But that's not your call.
• 23:18
  See, you're not an elected member of uh of an you're not a member of the elected branch.
• 23:23
  You weren't voted into office.
• 23:25
  You have no legal authority to rewrite the law.
• 23:28
  In fact, it's a it's it's bad behavior, a reason to remove you from office to do so.
• 23:35
  But since we're talking civics lessons, I love this one.
• 23:38
  Um he wrote, apparently, also in the government's ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence.
• 23:44
  33 year old uh Thomas Jefferson enumerated grievances against a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.
• 23:52
  All right, this guy's con this guy is illiterate.
• 23:55
  He apparently he is unaware.
• 23:57
  First of all, I don't care how old Mr.
• 23:59
  Jefferson was.
• 24:00
  The grievances would not again uh against a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.
• 24:08
  It was an actual authoritarian king over his colonies.
• 24:13
  We were not a nation when the Declaration of Independence was written, signed, and published.
• 24:21
  He goes on to say he has sent forth swarms of officers to harass our people.
• 24:26
  Well, if you're talking about enforcing federal law, that doesn't match.
• 24:31
  He says he is excited domestic insurrection among us.
• 24:34
  Again, enforcing the law is not inciting insurrection.
• 24:38
  Fighting the enforcement of law is insurrection and calling people to fight against law is in uh uh inciting exciting in insurrection.
• 24:49
  He goes, for quartering large bodies of troops among us.
• 24:52
  I have no idea what he's talking about here.
• 24:54
  There is not a single person in Minneapolis, St.
• 24:58
  Paul, or any of these places that are being forced to house uh federal agents.
• 25:05
  Uh he has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.
• 25:10
  Well, wait a second, federal law allows the uh following the Constitution allows for the uh use of National Guard to suppress insurrection and to enforce the laws of the United States.
• 25:25
  So this guy has proven that he has no idea what the Declaration of Independence says, but I want to take it a step farther because I was reading his his opinion, it's only three pages, and he made one very interesting point that I want to talk about here, and that is administrative warrants.
• 25:42
  He goes, he says that administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself, do not pass probable cause muster.
• 25:49
  And I he has a bit of a point here.
• 25:52
  All right.
• 25:56
  Under the Fourth Amendment, we read that uh no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the person of things to be seized.
• 26:07
  It says nothing about it having to be issued by a court.
• 26:11
  See, he's complaining that you have the executive branch issuing warrants to itself to pick up people.
• 26:18
  And I I do have a bit of an issue with it.
• 26:21
  The problem is the Constitution doesn't say that's a requirement.
• 26:25
  Now, yes, generally warrants are issued by the judiciary, their judicial warrants.
• 26:32
  But according to the free legal dictionary, it's a warrant uh is a written order issued by a judicial officer or other authorized person commanding a law uh commanding a law enforcement officer to perform some act.
• 26:47
  So there's a bit of a technical issue.
• 26:51
  Nothing in the Fourth Amendment says it must be issued by a court or a magistrate.
• 26:56
  That again is something that this judge, Mr.
• 27:02
  Beery, made up.
• 27:05
  Now, I said he has a point because even though the constitution doesn't say anything about that, it does look like a conflict of interest when you have one part of the executive branch, basically the executive branch issuing to itself warrants.
• 27:17
  These are the the where's the the check and balance on the warrant.
• 27:23
  The question then becomes is it legal?
• 27:26
  Right?
• 27:27
  And this is a scenario where Congress should really step in and decide whether or not administrative warrants are legal.
• 27:34
  Because again, I have a problem.
• 27:36
  Um, you know, the the other question is if the judge were actually following his oath of the constitution, what he should ask is was this warrant, this exec this administrative warrant issued based on probable cause supported by oath or affirmation, did it particularly describe the person to be seized?
• 27:57
  Right?
• 27:57
  Those are the three requirements for it to be legitimate, not that it'd be issued by a court.
• 28:02
  So you have a federal judge among many federal judges that um well apparently are making up things again.
• 28:10
  He had one point, but most of the stuff he talked about is absolute nonsense.
• 28:14
  Why is this important?
• 28:15
  Well, we get back to the question of the rule of law.
• 28:19
  If judges can simply make up the law, if non-elected people can simply make up the law, then we don't have a rule of law.
• 28:28
  And that goose that has protected so many of our rights.
• 28:33
  Well, you're killed it.
• 28:34
  You're strangling it, you're preventing it from laying those golden eggs.
• 28:40
  Now, again, I the the judge may have had a problem had an issue.
• 28:43
  He seems to be offended that the person that that allegedly committed the crime, the person that apparently there's there's probable cause supported by oath or affirmation that he was here illegally, happened to have a son.
• 28:57
  I believe the son was about five years old.
• 29:00
  Well, you know what?
• 29:02
  That's not the problem of the government.
• 29:03
  That's the consequence of uh of the man who broke the law to legally enter this country.
• 29:12
  Now, you may think that's bereft of human kindness, but again, human kindness is not the standard for the president.
• 29:21
  It's enforcing the law.
• 29:23
  Could things have been done better?
• 29:24
  Possibly.
• 29:26
  But again, we see a judge making things up in order to get his way, apparently because his view, his political view of laws, he doesn't like.
• 29:36
  That, sir, is the nascent uh uh authoritarian judge that uh um that I'm describing here, not uh an authoritarian president.
• 29:49
  Now, talking about judges, I read this one, and I I I had to meet I had to read this two, three times because it it really suppressed.
• 30:00
  Me.
• 30:01
  Uh a Bedford County, Texas judge, a Rosie uh Speedlin Gonzalez, uh, turned herself in after she had been indicted on charges that come from just to me uh a really bizarre situation.
• 30:16
  It goes back to 2024, a hearing before this judge where the the apparently the defendant pledged true to a probation violation.
• 30:30
  Now, at this point, the the uh the attorney for the client asked to speak to their client.
• 30:40
  The judge refused, claiming that uh uh uh attorneys cannot coach their clients.
• 30:49
  Not quite sure what she was thinking of here.
• 30:51
  Maybe she just wanted to say, hey, you're supposed to say uh guilty or innocent.
• 30:56
  You I don't know.
• 30:57
  I I don't know the history between this judge and this attorney.
• 31:00
  I don't know.
• 31:02
  What I do know is that um when the attorney objected to the judge's decision, the judge ordered the bailiff to take the attorney into custody and lock her up in the jury box.
• 31:20
  She was handcuffed and placed in the jury box.
• 31:26
  Now, a grand jury indicted Judge Gonzalez on one felony count of unlawful restraint by a judicial officer and a misdemeanor account of official oppression.
• 31:38
  Now again, she's been indicted, she has not been tried yet, she has not been found guilty yet.
• 31:44
  Um she does have a bit of a of a history.
• 31:47
  Um she paid a fine when she uh when a loaded handgun was found in her carry-on bag at Santoni Airport.
• 31:57
  That could have simply been a mistake.
• 32:00
  I mean, she may have intended to take it out and pack.
• 32:03
  I don't know.
• 32:04
  Doesn't you know as a lawful gun owner?
• 32:07
  I do know the rules about flying with a firearm.
• 32:10
  And um, you would think a judge would, but I don't know.
• 32:13
  Uh she also spent it had a four-year legal battle to display a rainbow flag in her courtroom, which by the way, she won on appeal in 2023.
• 32:25
  So she's obviously a uh a gay activist.
• 32:28
  She's obviously an LGBT activist in this uh realm as well.
• 32:34
  But I had to say, I had to look at this saying here's a judge.
• 32:37
  Now, granted, it's a it's a Texas county judge.
• 32:40
  Uh not an Article 3 judge from the Constitution of the United States.
• 32:44
  So I don't know the rules about uh you know being held accountable and impeachment and all that stuff.
• 32:50
  What I find interesting is in Texas, county judges are elected, and she is actually seeking re-elect.
• 32:59
  She's in the Democratic primary in March to seek re-election as a judge.
• 33:06
  Now, San Antonio.
• 33:08
  I don't know how this is going to go, whether in the the primary or the general election, but to me, this is another judge that's out of control.
• 33:20
  And the question I have is, or what I want to follow up, what I want to see is um, how does her court case go?
• 33:28
  And does that impact her re-election prospects, her re-election attempts?
• 33:34
  Because again, we have the right to petition a government for a redistrict grievance.
• 33:39
  First amendment says Congress cannot infringe on that right, but our states also have constitutions that say we have a right.
• 33:47
  But it's supposed to be a an impartial by an impartial jury.
• 33:52
  What happens if the judge is placing their thumbs on the scale?
• 33:57
  Again, I don't know why this judge had such a beef with this attorney.
• 34:02
  Again, maybe they have a history that we don't know about.
• 34:04
  There's a lot of possible things.
• 34:27
  But he went beyond that.
• 34:30
  Uh you know, he went beyond that to make a multiple political statements in what is supposed to be a legal opinion.
• 34:39
  If the judges are basing their decisions based on politics, well, then we're not free.
• 34:44
  And that goose of the rule of law, the goose that laid the golden egg is dying.
• 34:51
  And how are we supposed to be free if the judges are placing their thumbs on the scale?
• 34:58
  Whether by the way they issue their opinion or they attempt to lock up people that uh they don't like.
• 35:06
  Now, I've got some more news articles I want to look at, but I have a break coming up that I have to take.
• 35:12
  Before I go, though, I want to remind you, you know, we've talked about government actors.
• 35:15
  There are plenty of organizations that are after our rights.
• 35:19
  They don't like our rights.
• 35:20
  They don't like the fact that we exercise them or the way we exercise them.
• 35:23
  And many of them are supported by corporations large and small.
• 35:28
  I got tired of doing business with certain companies because of the politics they they they follow, the organizations they support.
• 35:36
  And I got tired of giving them money that they were using to give to people that were attacking my rights.
• 35:42
  It's why several years ago I joined Patriot Mobile.
• 35:46
  I didn't join them because they're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
• 35:50
  I didn't join them because they have great 4G and 5G coverage all across the nation.
• 35:54
  I didn't even join them because their customer support was 100% U.S.
• 35:58
  based.
• 35:59
  I joined them because they take a portion of every dollar to support organizations that are fighting for our rights.
• 36:06
  First Liberty, Turning Point USA, Susan B.

  Ronald Bray shine bright as America approaches 250 years.
• 39:50
  America outlaw.
• 40:06
  Welcome back, everyday American to rejoin the Constitution study today.
• 40:10
  Well, we're talking about killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
• 40:13
  That goose being what made America unique, what just made it unique for decades, for a couple of centuries.
• 40:20
  And that's the ideas of liberty and the rule of law and and those.
• 40:28
  I we were blessed with a lot of natural resources, but it was those things that made them viable.
• 40:35
  Now, I talk a lot about liberty.
• 40:37
  And the thing about liberty is we often think of liberty as our ability to do what we want without unnecessary external intervention.
• 40:48
  But true liberty is when I allow others to do what they want without unnecessary external influence.
• 40:59
  In other words, the rule of law is not when I get protections of the law.
• 41:03
  It's when I give grant others protection of the law.
• 41:06
  And without that, well, things get messy quick.
• 41:12
  That's how I'm coming back to the question because another House panel has uh voted to move along criminal referrals of Bill and Hillary Clinton for contempt of Congress.
• 41:24
  Now I have talked about this before.
• 41:26
  It's the idea that Congress issued a subpoena, and I claim Congress doesn't have the legal authority to issue a subpoena, to which that the Clintons failed to show up, failed to respond, which to me is simply them exercising rights protected by the Constitution of the United States.
• 41:42
  Now I'm no fan of the Clintons.
• 41:57
  If I want to be free, if I want that golden egg of liberty, I have to grant it to others.
• 42:03
  If I want that golden egg of the rule of law, I need to grant it to others.
• 42:09
  So when Congress issues a subpoena that they're not legally authorized, nothing in the Constitution authorizes Congress to issue a subpoena to demand someone attend.
• 42:19
  Um there's no probable cause, there's no author affirmation.
• 42:23
  It is a an illegal detention.
• 42:28
  And of course, the Clinton said no.
• 42:31
  And Congress said, well, that's contempt of Congress.
• 42:34
  How can you be in contempt of an illegal subpoena?
• 42:37
  How can exercising your rights to protect you from such a subpoena be contempt?
• 42:42
  But again, again, we're we're killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
• 42:46
  Congress wants the ability to rule and to violate their oaths to the Constitution of the United States.
• 42:54
  So there's one more hurdle, I believe this is a vote of the entire House of Representatives for this criminal referral.
• 43:03
  Um tempt of Congress is a fake crime, because again, there's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't ignore Congress.
• 43:12
  You can't ignore their laws, but again, they don't have the authority to simply detain you because they want to.
• 43:20
  Conviction carries a fine of up to a thousand dollars and up to a year in jail.
• 43:24
  Uh sorry, 100,000 and up to a year in jail.
• 43:27
  But as much as I dislike the Clintons, this is wrong.
• 43:34
  This is a violation of the rule of law.
• 43:37
  And the members of the House that are promoting this are violating their oaths of office.
• 43:44
  And uh, you know, uh this to me is is again more partisan uh attack ads.
• 43:50
  I mean, it we're simply attacking because uh it's partisans.
• 43:53
  The votes have been down party lines, which doesn't mean that that that uh you know necessarily that's wrong, but the fact is, no, the premise is wrong.
• 44:03
  The very idea that Congress can issue a subpoena is unconstitutional.
• 44:08
  Contempt of Congress is you know, exercising your right to be secure from unreasonable seizures, to not be deprived of your liberty without due process of law, is not contempt of Congress.
• 44:22
  Congress is being contemptible, contempt of the Constitution.
• 44:26
  I'm kind of curious how this goes, right?
• 44:29
  Because once it gets past the House and it gets referred to the DOJ, well, I would not be surprised to find out that the DOJ proceeds the question becomes what happens when it gets to an actual courtroom.
• 44:43
  Now, I've heard a lot of people that are just they're thrilled that that uh the the Clintons are being brought to justice regardless of whether it's legal or not.
• 44:54
  And the thing I always ask myself, well, what if I were in that position?
• 44:59
  What if I got an illegal congressional subpoena?
• 45:02
  Now I've received a federal subpoena.
• 45:04
  I've talked about this before.
• 45:06
  It was to call to testify in a federal case, and you know that the the accused had every right to confront witnesses against them, to compel witnesses in their favor.
• 45:18
  I didn't have a problem with that.
• 45:20
  But again, nowhere is Congress given the authority to issue a subpoena to demand attendance, to compel attendance to deprive you of your liberty, to seize you without a warrant.
• 45:36
  So if we if we look at this and simply gloat because our political opponents are getting what we think is their just desserts, even though it's for something they they've done that isn't wrong, well, then we're killing that that goose of the rule of law and all those golden eggs of liberty, because if they can do this to the Clintons, what's to stop them from doing this to you?
• 46:04
  Now, uh one more story I've got here, and this one, this one's a little different, because it looks at the actions of the federal government that says, no, you went too far.
• 46:17
  There's a a bill introduced by a representative here in the state of Tennessee, House Bill 1473, and it looks at the Supreme Court case uh of Burgerfeld and uh their decision on same-sex marriage.
• 46:32
  By way, completely unconstitutional, a case not based in any sort of legal logic, any actual constitutionally or sound legal decision that said that basically compelled every state to recognize um homosexual marriage, even though didn't meet the legal definition of marriage, hadn't been part of our history for millennia.
• 46:55
  Nope, we're gonna make this up.
• 46:58
  So this House bill would legally protect those within the state of Tennessee from being disciplined for standing up for their traditional belief in marriage.
• 47:08
  It would allow private citizens and organizations, notice private citizens and organizations, not public ones.
• 47:16
  It would uh allow them to legally refuse to recognize same-sex marriage.
• 47:22
  Now, I know there's a lot of people going apoplectic right now.
• 47:25
  Oh my god, we've had marriage and marriage that by the way, that was instituted not through the legal process, through a judicial process, an extra-legal judicial process.
• 47:37
  And this bill, and the warning came when you know during the uh uh the opinion, in the opinion of O'Burgafeld, that this would be used to deprive people of their rights to say you have to recognize a same-sex marriage.
• 47:52
  Just look at the uh, was it sweet cakes?
• 47:54
  Um in Colorado, there's been several.
• 47:58
  Uh 501 503 Creative, where people wanted to demand others to create custom work for them, celebrating same-sex marriage or burger uh uh uh transgenderism, all sorts of crazy things.
• 48:12
  So this again is just a bill at this point, and uh I want to do a bit more details on that, but it says the Supreme Court, well, they didn't actually say, I don't think they actually say that the Supreme Court got it wrong.
• 48:26
  I think it's more a state of um we have allowed the this opinion to grow far beyond uh uh the legal authority.
• 48:41
  And even though you had many states that actually passed um constitutional amendments to their constitution that um he said, nope, that doesn't matter because the Supreme Court made up a right to marriage that did not exist.
• 49:00
  As I said, I'm sure there are people out there going, but Paul, doesn't this you know, kill the goose that laid the old golden egg, the protections of these rights?
• 49:07
  Uh again, nowhere in the constitution is the court given the authority to redefine marriage.
• 49:14
  It is it's it was always an issue at the state level.
• 49:18
  In fact, it originally was at the church level.
• 49:21
  Marriage was really defined by churches, then churches, I believe rather foolishly look for state protections and let the state get involved, but nothing in the constitution delegates the federal government, much less the Supreme Court the authority to redefine marriage.
• 49:36
  So again, they did wrong.
• 49:38
  And as protection from some of the abuses of O'Burgafell, we have HP 1473.
• 49:47
  Now, this again, I'm gonna keep an eye on this from for my own.
• 49:51
  I live in Tennessee.
• 49:52
  To me, this is important.
• 49:53
  I I go to a church, I'm part of organizations, and the question then becomes can we be forced.
• 50:00
  To deny our sincerely held religious beliefs based on an unconstitutional opinion of a group of nine justices.
• 50:09
  Um very interesting question.
• 50:12
  But I also see this as important for another reason.
• 50:14
  Because it's a small example of a state pushing back on federal overreach, challenging a Supreme Court decision, one a decade old, and saying, no, this is this is wrong.
• 50:29
  This is too far.
• 50:30
  Now they again they limited it as I understand it's only affecting private citizens, private organizations.
• 50:36
  It doesn't say that same sex marriage isn't going to be recognized in the state of Tennessee.
• 50:40
  It doesn't mean you're going to be able, you're not going to be able to go down to your county uh you know your county clerk and get a marriage license.
• 50:47
  It doesn't say anything like that.
• 50:49
  It just says private organizations.
• 50:51
  You don't have to recognize it.
• 50:54
  A couple years ago, Tennessee did something similar where they passed a law saying that a person shall not be required to solemnize a marriage, meaning you couldn't go to a church and say, you have to marry us.
• 51:07
  So that's good news.
• 51:09
  But again, a little bit of pushback.
• 51:11
  So we've got the the attempt to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, and now you have a basic a little bit of resuscitation.
• 51:20
  At least that's what I hope.
• 51:22
  Kind of depends on whether or not this makes it through our general assembly and get signed by our governor.
• 51:29
  As we come to the end of the program, I want you to consider this.
• 51:33
  See, there's there's no country, there's no nation that is perfect.
• 51:38
  So we have to allow change.
• 51:44
  The beauty of the nation of the government created by the Constitution is that it allows change, but requires a lot of work.
• 51:54
  It requires time, it requires buy-in.
• 51:58
  Because you have to be able to change, but you don't want that change to destroy what you created.
• 52:06
  You don't want the change to become destruction.
• 52:10
  You don't want the change to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
• 52:14
  There's a reason why uh Congress is designed not to react quickly.
• 52:21
  Why legislation has to be passed by two houses, why they have to agree on it.
• 52:26
  There's a reason.
• 52:27
  There's a reason why.
• 52:28
  Constitutional amendments take a lot of time and a lot of effort and a lot of work, because you do not want to do that rashly.
• 52:37
  You want to do it slowly and considering, and you want to see if this is going to give us the outcome we want.
• 52:44
  That's why we have 50 free and independent states.
• 52:48
  Yes, they've joined in a union, but the idea is we can try things.
• 52:52
  You want to try socialism in New York City, go for it.
• 52:56
  But you can't impose that on the rest of the state or on any of the other states.
• 53:01
  Because these people that are trying to change the basic fundamental principles of unalienable rights endowed by our creator, of the rule of law, not of men, of taking the greatest parts of America and getting rid of it by saying everybody needs to come here so that we're just like everybody else, even though nobody else opens their borders like some of them want us to do, is literally destroying the goose that laid the golden egg.
• 53:37
  Now, if you've got an idea that maybe we can do things better, I'm all for it.
• 53:42
  Bring it up.
• 53:43
  Let's discuss it, let's debate it.
• 53:45
  Maybe let's let a state or two try it and see how it works.
• 53:49
  Let us learn from this experience.
• 53:52
  Because the cost of getting things wrong at the national level is not oops.
• 54:01
  It's not spilled milk that you can simply pour another glass.
• 54:05
  It's potentially destroying the very thing that made the United States the greatest nation in the world.
• 54:12
  That made the United States the one people went to when everything was going crazy.
• 54:18
  They came to the to the rescue of Europe, not once but twice.
• 54:24
  That the world asked to defend them from the evil empire.
• 54:29
  There's a reason people look to America.
• 54:35
  But it's because we laid more golden eggs than anyone else.
• 54:41
  And I'm sad to see so many people that have benefited so much from what made America great, doing seemingly everything they can to destroy the very things that gave them the power to do this.
• 54:57
  It's one of those things, and you know, it's one of the reasons why I keep saying I want you to ask questions because again, I'm not saying I'm perfect.
• 55:05
  I may have bad ideas, I may be wrong.
• 55:07
  I love when people ask questions.
• 55:09
  Questions are good things.
• 55:12
  I wish I had more questions that I could answer here on the radio program.
• 55:17
  I wish I had more people that could listen and engage.
• 55:22
  Now, if you'd like to ask a question, and I appreciate I really do appreciate what people do, well, just go to constitutionstudy.com slash questions and fill out the form.
• 55:30
  I never I asked for your name and email address because I'm going to email you a response.
• 55:35
  But if you'd like me to answer it here on the radio, there's a checkbox that says please answer on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 55:40
  I'll be more than happy to do that as well.
• 55:43
  Because I understand we're never going to be perfect, but I don't want to be the person out on the limb sawing the limb they're standing on.
• 55:55
  I don't want to be the one destroying our own opportunities.
• 56:01
  And we only do that if we allow for the fact that we may be wrong, but to look at making changes and making them slowly and deliberately.
• 56:10
  So again, head to constitutionstudy.com/slash questions, ask your questions, make your comments.
• 56:16
  I'm I'm always open.
• 56:18
  Only thing I ask is that you ask a question and that you listen to my answer.
• 56:23
