Latest / Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News / Nothing to see here: How politicians distract the public
Transcript
- 0:11Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
- 0:15This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
- 0:30It seems that human nature drives us to hide things that make us look bad.
- 0:36As I've heard it said, it's not the crime that gets the politician in trouble.
- 0:40It's the cover-up.
- 0:42So what's been happening lately that some politicians and pundits don't want us to see?
- 0:47Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read instead of the Constitution, teacher agent generation be free.
- 0:54Glad you could join me today.
- 0:56Again, there's a lot going on.
- 0:57We have the war in Iran, which is it really a war.
- 1:02I mean, we use that word so flippantly lately, and and you know, there's a lot going on there, but there's still a lot going on that we really need to pay attention of, you know, uh the this idea of getting people to look the other way to not hide things that people don't want us to see, like like the scene from The Wizard of Oz.
- 1:22Wait, no attention to that man behind the curtain.
- 1:25Look, ah has spoken.
- 1:29And that's how a lot of people treat this, right?
- 1:31Uh, pay no attention to what you see, don't pay attention to your lying odds.
- 1:35Uh me, the great and powerful odds has spoken uh until someone asked the really important question.
- 1:42Who are you?
- 1:45I am the great and powerful wizard of Oz.
- 1:49And we find out that the great and powerful Wizard of Oz is just a dude, a charlatan, a huckster with some technology.
- 1:58And we see that, by the way, in our country today.
- 2:01Maybe not a dude behind the curtain, but we get people that they try to don't look over there.
- 2:06There's for example, there's no problem with our elections.
- 2:11If there is any fraud, it's so small, it doesn't make an impact on the outcome.
- 2:16So we really shouldn't pay in, pay no attention to that election problem behind the curtain.
- 2:22Uh, we we we you know, there's something else we want to look at.
- 2:27Latest example, right?
- 2:28So we keep telling there's there's no problem with our elections.
- 2:31None whatsoever.
- 2:32Well, the FBI has been looking at a criminal probe into uh suspend suspected election irregularities, including gathering large volumes of voting records from Arizona's uh uh largest county, the Maricopa County.
- 2:53And um now the uh the county has a a grand jury subpoena that is looking at this information.
- 3:04The one concern I have is this this there's an anonymous source, right?
- 3:08They they would not speak without anonymity, and they they they said that because it's because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, which again, okay.
- 3:20Um if you're piercing the veil of the of the grand jury secrecy, I have to wonder why, right?
- 3:26Is there politics behind this?
- 3:28And if you're not willing to put your name to it, really is it something that we should trust.
- 3:34But that's let's just keep that in the back of our minds.
- 3:38Because according to this source, the FBI has received terabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County.
- 3:46Um and they've raided a warehouse near Atlanta seizing ballots from the 2020 election in Fulton County.
- 3:55So again, now we've got two counties in two different states that the FBI is investigating.
- 4:03Now, to put this in context, right?
- 4:06The Arizona uh Senate conducted an investigation into the 2020 election and did conclude there were significant irregularities, I believe is the term they used.
- 4:19Now, the Arizona Secretary of State um uh received the subpoena for the 2020 election records and apparently has complied, providing this information to the FBI.
- 4:32And um there are claims being made that uh uh election observers alerted to uh to irregularities in the November 2024 election, and that there was actually in the warehouse in Arizona uh blank and filled out absentee ballots that were observed in the same location, according to these sources.
- 4:53So there's there's there's apparently information on the ground um that there may be issues.
- 5:01Now, again, the concern was that uh not only that you had completed mail-in ballots and blank mail-in ballots stored in the same place, which again, if you put those in a machine, is the machine going to recognize the difference.
- 5:13I don't know.
- 5:14The other thing was these were sorted by a third-party printing company.
- 5:19There was no governmental officials or partisan observers on site looking at the counting to make sure that well, people were being held accountable.
- 5:30So again, now we have a second county with issues in their ballots, especially in their absentee ballots.
- 5:39Yet we still have people saying, oh no, nothing to see here.
- 5:42Our elections are fine, there were no problems.
- 5:45Well, unless, of course, um your party lost.
- 5:49Then, of course, the election was rigged, and you know, it's it's you know, it's something was wrong there.
- 5:56Then we have an announcement from the Department of Justice that a uh a gentleman, a uh Mahadi Sacco was arrested uh on March 5th with um uh for basic for fraudulently voting in five presidential general elections, going all the way back to 2008.
- 6:21Uh, according to a statement by the uh Philadelphia FES Philadelphia Field Office, in this case, Mahadi Saco was not a U.S.
- 6:28citizen, lied about being uh a U.S.
- 6:31citizen in order to register to vote, and therefore cast a fraudulent ballot under both federal and state law on November 5th, 2024.
- 6:40Um, this actually that was apparently the affidavit that led to the, or I'm assuming led to the uh arrest warrant, but I'm not sure about this that last part.
- 6:49But according to uh voting records, uh this illegal immigrant voted in the 2008 general election, the 2012 general election, the 2016 primary and general elections, the 2020 primary and general elections, and the 2024 general election.
- 7:06This is an illegal immigrant, not legal to vote, because as I said, this violates both state, well, federal law, yeah, that's still being debated, but state law.
- 7:18I'm pretty sure the state of Philadelphia requires you to be a uh I'm sorry, the state of Pennsylvania requires you to be a citizen to vote in their elections.
- 7:27So, yeah, they're still out there.
- 7:29And again, you're talking about one guy that voted in multiple elections.
- 7:34But if that's the one guy that got caught, how many else are out there?
- 7:39I mean, let's face it, when you go fishing, you don't catch all the fish.
- 7:43You catch a fish, you have no idea how many are still in the water.
- 7:50And how many people that are manipulating our elections are still out there and getting away with it.
- 7:57Well, how about this report from a February 27th, uh Fox 10 in Alabama?
- 8:03Court documents filed today in Monroe County, reveal a grand jury indotted 67-year-old Sharon Dinson, 46-year-old Samantha Kiles, and 59-year-old Sarah Bennett for illegally filling out and submitting ballots during the Frisco City municipal election in August of 2025.
- 8:23Those same records show Dinson changed seven people's ballots.
- 8:28Kyle's altered four people's ballots, and Bennett changed nine people's ballots.
- 8:34Now, again, a lot of people say, well, you know, all right, we know there's fraud, but it's not enough to change the outcome of election.
- 8:40Well, again, we're not sure about that, and I have a whole thought about that.
- 8:44But remember, this is for a small town mayor.
- 8:48How many ballots do you need to change in order to impact a small town mayor?
- 8:54The criminal charges follow a civil lawsuit that was filed last September by former Frisco City Mayor Alan Lang, who lost the August election in it.
- 9:05Lang is challenging the vote count, saying 131 illegal absentee ballots were counted, which changed the results.
- 9:14Just a hundred and thirty one votes changed the outcome of the election, according to the the guy who lost.
- 9:22But now we have a grand jury indictment.
- 9:24Now, again, it's just an indictment, right?
- 9:26And you know the old saying a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich uh through a grand jury, so they haven't been found guilty yet.
- 9:34But there are accusations of them actually changing the ballots.
- 9:38This to me is important for a couple of reasons.
- 9:41People say, well, you know, it that didn't change the outcome of the election, but did it?
- 9:46You know, maybe it didn't change the outcome of a an election for federal office, but maybe state office or local office, those are counted too.
- 9:56And really, how much fraud is enough for us to be unhappy.
- 10:00Happy with it.
- 10:01I use the the story of the father who's trying to teach uh a lesson to his children about the importance of you know, just a little still is bad.
- 10:10And he made a set of brownies and and uh said, here come, kids have the brownies.
- 10:15I made them the best chocolate, the best recipe.
- 10:17Oh, by the way, there's a lot of a little bit of dog dirt from the backyard.
- 10:21Put that in too, but that's just a little bit.
- 10:23It won't hurt it.
- 10:25And for some strange reason, the kids didn't want to eat the brownies.
- 10:28It's kind of the same thing.
- 10:30We are republic.
- 10:31We hire representation through elections.
- 10:35How much dog dirt, how much fraud, how much illegal activity will we allow.
- 10:42Now, will we ever get to the point where it's perfect and it's there's none whatsoever?
- 10:47Not likely, right?
- 10:48We're human beings.
- 10:49There's always going to be people that want to uh push the envelope, but shouldn't we strive to have as little as possible to see any uh uh uh attempt at fraud as an attack on the very foundations of the republic.
- 11:05Now, uh to me, that is you know, that that's the goal.
- 11:08We want to get to zero, and even if we don't, we want to get as close to zero as at all possible.
- 11:15And I find it interesting because in addition to this, right?
- 11:18So we've got these examples of fraud.
- 11:21Um, we have a story from the DOJ that have been uh suing states because the states don't want to hand over their voter roles.
- 11:31Now, why do they not want to hand over the voter?
- 11:33Because the Department of Justice, the federal government has absolutely nothing to do with voter registration.
- 11:39It's none of their business.
- 11:40They're not authorized to regulate it.
- 11:42They have no need for this.
- 11:44But the DOJ recently added New Jersey, Utah, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Oklahoma to states being sued because they won't simply hand over their voter rolls.
- 11:5429 states, more than half of the states now are being sued because they won't bow to the overlord of the Department of Justice.
- 12:04Now, this lawsuit claims that the attorney general has the power under the 1960 Civil Rights Act to demand the production inspection and analysis of statewide voter registrations lists that can be cross-checked effectively for improper registrations.
- 12:19I don't care because that is not allowed by the Constitution.
- 12:25And the Constitution supersedes this law.
- 12:27In order for this law, the Civil Rights Act of 1960 to be the Supreme Law of the Land, it must first be made pursuant to the Constitution.
- 12:35Article 6, Clause 2.
- 12:38So, since the federal government is not given the power to regulate voter registration, right?
- 12:45They don't get to determine who gets to vote other than they've passed amendments.
- 12:49I said, listen, if you don't allow this person to vote, there are consequences.
- 12:53That's it.
- 12:54But they don't actually regulate the actual voter registration process.
- 12:58The federal government has no authority here.
- 13:00The 10th Amendment says that's not a power delegated to the United States, it's retained by the states.
- 13:04They have no legal authority to do this.
- 13:07I was listening to a report about the uh somebody was talking about the convention of the states.
- 13:13And uh, you know, they say, well, the states need to re-reassert their power.
- 13:16They don't need a convention of states.
- 13:18They simply need to say no.
- 13:20Look at these 29 states have said no, you have no oversight to voter registration.
- 13:26You want to bring a case because we denied someone a the right to vote who was constitutionally uh protected by the U.S.
- 13:33Constitution, be my guest, but you don't get go through our uh voter registration process or our voter registration records.
- 13:41That is none of your business.
- 13:43And uh I'm glad to see 29 states.
- 13:46I want to see, I want to see a boatload more.
- 13:49I want to see more than 29 states.
- 13:51I want to see 50 states saying, No, you have no authority for this, and I'd love to see the states.
- 13:56I'm curious how the courts are gonna uh come down on this.
- 14:00Um, you know, I'd like to see somebody say, hey, wait a second.
- 14:03Voter registration is not a power vested in the government of the United States.
- 14:07They have no no need for this data, and the Civil Rights Act cannot be valid because it contradicts the Constitution of the United States, the 10th Amendment.
- 14:17Therefore, it cannot be.
- 14:18It must be considered void.
- 14:20By the way, those are not my words.
- 14:22Alexander Hamilton and Federal 78, the Supreme Court in Marbury versus Madison, ex parte seabold and Norton v.
- 14:29Shelby County all said that an unconstitutional act is void.
- 14:34So I'm kind of curious to see how this lawsuits go.
- 14:36And I encourage these states to continue to fight for your rights to protect yourself from an overarching and overreaching a federal government that's going far beyond their delegated powers.
- 14:49Ladies and gentlemen, that to me is the first step to restoring the federal government to its limited and enumerated powers.
- 14:55Is states saying no, and the people of those states backing up their state actors when they do that.
- 15:02But of course, the Department of Justice and Attorney General Bondi, she doesn't want the states to see the fact that the Constitution says they have no legal authority to this.
- 15:11She doesn't, you know, no, no, pay no attention to the actual constitution.
- 15:14I'm saying this is true.
- 15:16And I'm doing this.
- 15:20That's why we the people need to hire people in our state and local governments that will fulfill their oath to support the constitution of the United States, even if those in the federal government fail to do so.
- 15:31It's why it's so important who we choose, and that the people we choose are the people that get into office.
- 15:38Now, I have more examples of things people just as soon hide from you.
- 15:42But uh before I get to that, I have a couple, I have a break to take.
- 15:46And you know, one of the concerns I have, my wife used to garden, she loved garden when she could.
- 15:50Uh, but I find it interesting that more and more reports are showing the the nutrients, the vitamins and minerals that we used to get from our food will just aren't in the food anymore.
- 16:01That our commercial farming has literally farmed 85% of the nutrients our bodies require out of the soil so it's no longer in our food, even organic food.
- 16:11So, how do you live if only 15% of what you eat has what you need?
- 16:15If 15% of your fuel isn't there.
- 16:19Now, a lot of people they turn to supplements, and okay, I understand that, but a lot of people don't like taking supplements and pills and all of that.
- 16:27That's where our friends from the chemical-free body come in because they've got a new way of doing it.

- 20:31Welcome back, everyday Americans join the Constitution study.
- 20:35Today we're saying, hey, hey, nothing to see here.
- 20:37Honest, honest.
- 20:39Well, I think there is something to see here.
- 20:42And let's take a look at New York City, place of my birth.
- 20:45Of course, they also recently hired a an Islamic Marxist mayor, but that's I want to point out something.
- 20:53You know, there's an old saying that to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
- 20:57And to a racist, everything seems to be based on race.
- 21:01And that includes Mary Mandami.
- 21:03See, there was an attack on a protest near the mayor's mansion.
- 21:09Uh this past was it, Saturday, I think it was.
- 21:12And um he immediately cried, Islamophobia, Islamophobia.
- 21:18Yeah, because he's a racist and everything.
- 21:21It's it's everything is race.
- 21:24Now, he took to X and he posted yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion, rooted in bigotry and racism.
- 21:33Such hate has no place in New York City.
- 21:35It is an affront to our city's values, and the unity that defines who we are.
- 21:39What follows was even more disturbing violence.
- 21:43Now there was an anti uh ISIS demonstration.
- 21:49Uh there was an anti, well, you might call it uh anti-Islamic protesters outside of his his Gracie Mansion residence.
- 21:57The mayor lives in Gracie Mansion, and uh there were people who are not thrilled with attempts to bring in uh Sharia law and others into the United States, and you know that there they were exercising their right to express their opinion, which apparently seems to be something that Mayor Mandami doesn't believe people have a right to do.
- 22:20See, what he calls bigotry and racism, um, other people might say is no, we're looking at what's going on.
- 22:26This isn't you know that there's there's it's not Islam is not a race, it's a religion, and its religious values really contradict with the Judeo-Christian values that founded this country.
- 22:38And apparently expressing that is something that Mr.
- 22:42Mr.
- 22:42Mondami doesn't believe people have the right to do.
- 22:45I say this a lot on on my, especially on my Saturday Zoom calls where people say, Well, you can't say that.
- 22:51I can say whatever I want.
- 22:54I mean, I the only thing I can't say is I can't call for violence against others.
- 22:58I can't infringe that, but I can say whatever I want.
- 23:01And I think think that that Islam is is uh a contrary to the the values that found out this nation, I have every right to.
- 23:09And if it's an affront to your city's values that people express themselves, I think the problem isn't so much with the the city values as with the politicians who don't want anyone to challenge what they're saying.
- 23:22But then he said, he said, what even was even more violence?
- 23:26Yeah.
- 23:28So apparently two Pennsylvania men showed up and uh were attempted to detonate IEDs, improvised explosive devices outside of the mayor's residence.
- 23:41Um, and Emir Ballat of Longhorn, Pennsylvania and Ibrahim Kayumi of Newton, Pennsylvania, are facing charges, including the use of weapons of mass destruction, uh, which is how they get it to the federal level, right?
- 23:57These are federal charges.
- 24:00Uh that doesn't sound like a pair of white supremacists causing the violence, does it?
- 24:05No.
- 24:06Because they were attacking the anti-islamic protesters.
- 24:11They threw their IEDs at the people protesting uh the inclusion of Islam in more and more aspects of the city governments.
- 24:18I understand it.
- 24:20Now, as he pointed out, uh, yeah, he is the first Muslim mayor of New York City.
- 24:25And apparently anybody who disagrees with this is assumed to be anti to be exhibiting anti-Muslim bigotry, which again, it's the same thing we saw when Obama was mayor and Obama was president, and and everybody who disagreed with him was assumed to be a racist because you disagreed with a black president.
- 24:43This is don't take a look at the facts, just you know, follow my logic here.
- 24:48And of course, again, it wasn't the quote unquote the anti-Islamic protesters, the ones that were demonstrating that to prevent Islam from taking over the city.
- 24:56No, no, they weren't the ones committing the violence.
- 25:00It was the members of Islam.
- 25:03In fact, one of them, uh ballot allegedly told police officers, I pledge my allegiance allegiance to the Islamic state.
- 25:13Yeah.
- 25:15And they said they said that their hope was to replicate the Boston bomber only bigger.
- 25:21And Mandami has a problem with people peacefully demonstrating, saying we don't want Islam running this in involved in the city.
- 25:28We don't want Islam taking over the city.
- 25:32Oops.
- 25:33Now it's a pair of Islamists that apparently were the actual violent uh parties to this uh particular attack.
- 25:42And again, look at the detail, right?
- 25:44So you have the the group led by Mr.
- 25:47Lang, who uh Mr.
- 25:49Mandani calls a white supremacist that had what he called the stop the Islamic takeover of New York City.
- 25:55That was their gathering.
- 25:57They did not want Islam taking over the city.
- 26:00They were not violent, um, but they were demonstrating.
- 26:04They were exercising their right of freedom of speech and to peaceably assemble.
- 26:09And it was the Islamists that uh violently attacked them.
- 26:12So does that mean that all Islamists in in New York City are violent?
- 26:17No.
- 26:18Does it mean that the people who don't want Islam taking over the city don't want Islam in the city?
- 26:24No.
- 26:25What we have is hyperbole being used to um uh to try and and shape the narrative, the story behind this.
- 26:36Including the fact that Mr.
- 26:38Mondami said in his post on X that such when talking about uh um uh the you know Mr.
- 26:44Lang's protest against Islam taking over the the city.
- 26:48He said such hate has no place in New York City, but then turns around and says that he he supports people's right to freedom of speech.
- 26:56Well, which is it, Mr.
- 26:57Mondami?
- 26:59Do you dislike this statement?
- 27:01But he's free to say it, or does it have absolutely no place in your city?
- 27:05Make up your mind.
- 27:07But you see, people don't want this analyze.
- 27:10You don't people looking at what's actually going on, they simply want the talking points.
- 27:14The same way people are saying, well, this this was ISIS-inspired terrorism.
- 27:20Really, based on what?
- 27:22I don't know.
- 27:23Maybe there's evidence, maybe during the interviews, the police had um the police held these people expressed support not just for Islam, but for ISIS.
- 27:33I mean, they did talk about supporting the Islamic State.
- 27:35Maybe that's what they were talking about, but um uh again, which is the side that is is uh uh showing hatred for another, which which which side was showing hate that should be an affront to the city's values and unity, those who peacefully demonstrated or those who used violence.
- 27:56Now, in another example, let's head just kind of up into the east a little bit to Massachusetts.
- 28:02Uh Massachusetts had a net loss of residents of roughly 182,000.
- 28:08These are what they call domestic outmigration.
- 28:11That's between in in five years.
- 28:13That's between April 2020 and July of 2025.
- 28:17This is based on an analysis of the state's workforce by Pioneer Institute.
- 28:22Now, the idea behind this people say, well, you know, Massachusetts is a high-tax state, and it is.
- 28:28Um, it's it's interesting because having lived on the border in New York, just across the border from Massachusetts, I got to see the taxes on both sides.
- 28:36And it really was kind of interesting um how they were laid out, but both again, high tax states, and 182,000 people over five years have left.
- 28:47Now, of course, that's oh, record net loss, 182,000 over five years.
- 28:53Okay, that do a little bit of math.
- 28:56So uh the first thing I looked at is, well, how much is 182,000?
- 29:02So again, how much of that is the entire population?
- 29:05Well, I look to the census and says, you know, the the state of Massachusetts population is roughly 7.1 million.
- 29:14So a little quick basic math says, oh, you're talking about roughly two and a half percent of the population of Massachusetts has left uh allegedly because of the high taxes.
- 29:29Again, that was over five years, which is roughly 36.4% of the population of Massachusetts has left every year.
- 29:41And if we say, okay, that's a 7.1%, that's that's basically one half of 1%.
- 29:48So a lot of people go, see, 182,000 people have left.
- 29:53Yeah.
- 29:55Again, half a percent a year on average.
- 29:58That to me is concerned.
- 30:00Concerning if you uh uh are live in Massachusetts, if you pay taxes in Massachusetts, if you're trying to maintain an elected position in Massachusetts, because as people leave, well, your tax base shrinks.
- 30:13And this is it's shrinking slowly, but this could become uh uh uh more uh more urgent over time, especially when the the the trend in those leaving tend to be those between 26 and 34.
- 30:29People are just getting into their max earning range, the time when they're gonna earn the most money, which of course the state's gonna collect the most taxes on income.
- 30:38They're the ones that are leaving.
- 30:41Now, uh I again I have a little bit of comparison because then I lived in New York State most of my life.
- 30:47Uh I mean most of my life.
- 30:49I was born in New York City.
- 30:50I lived in New York City till about the age of 52, right?
- 30:54Or I should say in New York State until the age of 52.
- 30:57I lived in New York City till I was 11.
- 30:58And I lived with high taxes.
- 31:00My entire working life at that point, I had paid high taxes, income taxes, property taxes, high taxes.
- 31:07And I was okay with that.
- 31:09I was used to that.
- 31:10That wasn't what drove me out of the state.
- 31:13What drove me out of the state was the corruption, the rules, the regulations, the attempt to regulate every aspect of my life.
- 31:23I just got tired of it.
- 31:24I got tired of the state telling me, you know, what I couldn't couldn't drive and where I couldn't, couldn't go, and what products I could and couldn't use, and uh how I had to do this to my property, but it wouldn't indemnify me from uh from harm if someone broke into my property.
- 31:41I mean, there was just all these rules and regulations, and then to see the corruption in the state.
- 31:47You know, when when uh uh governor uh Cuomo, uh not Mario, uh uh the other Cuomo, his son, Andrew.
- 31:55When when he became governor, he put together a commission to investigate uh corruption and fraud in the government.
- 32:04And as soon as they started getting close to his buddies, he disbanded it.
- 32:08I mean, that's the type of nonsense we saw.
- 32:11Uh, we would see huge bills be brought out into the legislature, uh, the general assembly with a couple only a couple of hours to be reviewed before they were forced to vote on it.
- 32:22That is what drove that's truly what drove me out.
- 32:24Now, when I got out, when I landed here in Middle Tennessee, I was very happy to see the the lower taxes, lower property.
- 32:32I still talk lower property taxes, lower uh uh there's no income tax.
- 32:37Uh the taxes as a whole were lower.
- 32:40The only one that was higher was sales tax.
- 32:42And I did some math in in order to cover the tax costs of the tax difference between Tennessee and New York.
- 32:50I would have to spend 400,000 a year to pay as much in sales tax, much extra in sales tax as I paid in property and income tax up in New York.
- 33:01So uh the taxes, I'm happy to pay lower taxes.
- 33:04That's not my point.
- 33:06It wasn't the taxes that drove me out, which makes me wonder how many of those 182,000 that people assume are leaving because of the high taxes, are actually moving for other things, or taxes may not be, if not the only thing, they may not even be the primary thing.
- 33:24Let's not look at everything else that's going on.
- 33:26Again, I agree.
- 33:27Tax people want to head to where they're not being ripped off by their state.
- 33:32But is that the only reason?
- 33:33Is that even the primary reason?
- 33:35Let's take a look closer and say why.
- 33:38I'd love to see why these people, this these 36,000 people a year are leaving Massachusetts.
- 33:46Again, because it's between ages and 26, it very well may be taxes, because that's again prime earning, the beginning of your prime earning range.
- 33:55But I'm sure there's a lot more going on there.
- 33:58And I'm I'm let's just say I'm not surprised, but I do wish people would take a closer look at what else may be going on that's driving people out.
- 34:07Because in Massachusetts, there are a lot of things that um, well, there's a lot of groups trying to deprive people of their rights.
- 34:16It's not just government, government helps, don't get me wrong.
- 34:19But there are other organizations whose rights and liberties are attacking the rights and liberties of others.
- 34:26And a lot of them are being funded, believe it or not, with your dollars, not tax dollars.
- 34:30It's who you do business with.
- 34:32You go to corporations and they take, you know, they they fund organizations that are trying to deprive you of your right to keep and bear arms, your freedom of speech, your freedom of press, your your freedom to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures, even your right to do process.
- 34:47So let's stop funding those organizations.
- 34:50Now, one thing I did is I joined the nation's only conservative uh Christian wireless provider, Patriot Mobile.
- 34:57Why?
- 34:58Well, yeah, they're Christian conservative organization.

- 39:13Honest, honest.
- 39:14These are all even looking at examples of people saying or doing something that, well, in hindsight, they probably don't want people to look at.
- 39:22And I got a couple more I want to talk about today.
- 39:25First, we're going to go to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Chucky Schumer.
- 39:30And he's pushing for the president to tap the strategic petroleum reserve because gas prices have gone up.
- 39:39Again, this is nothing new.
- 39:41Many times in the past, presidents forget the fact that this is the strategic petroleum reserve, not the political petroleum reserve.
- 39:51It's you know, it's a political football.
- 39:55Hey, we'll just, you know, prices are going up.
- 39:58It makes us look bad.
- 40:00We'll hit the strategic petroleum reserve.
- 40:02That oil is there for a strategic purpose.
- 40:05Meaning, let's say, God forbid, this conflict with Iran grows and extends, right?
- 40:13Instead of being a few weeks, it turns into months or years.
- 40:16And maybe it starts pulling in other actors, like God forbid, Russia, China, uh, and others.
- 40:24That fuel is there.
- 40:25That petroleum reserve is there so that we can have the fuel products we need in the event of a conflict.
- 40:35It's not there to ease your pain at the pump.
- 40:39And in fact, history shows that frequently tapping the strategic petroleum reserves actually increases the price of oil.
- 40:48How could that be, Paul?
- 40:50It has to do with human emotions.
- 40:53You see, if you tap the petroleum reserve, the market will often look at that as saying we you expect this to go on longer to be more painful than for than you may be admitting.
- 41:06So the price of oil goes up.
- 41:09Uh, we saw this, I believe it was back in the 70s, maybe in the early 2000s, where again, this is the supposedly there for our strategic purposes, not to make politicians look better.
- 41:22And it can have the opposite effect of what they're claiming.
- 41:26But look at what we're saying.
- 41:27Schumer's saying, well, oh, people are, you know, gas prices have gone up.
- 41:31Yes, they've gone up.
- 41:33Oil prices have gone up.
- 41:35Actually, it's funny because they went up and then they started coming back down.
- 41:39And this is what happens when there's turmoil, especially in an oil-rich area.
- 41:47The question is, is it the strategic purpose of the federal government to keep your gas prices down?
- 41:55And again, look at what Schumer is basing this on.
- 41:58Oh, uh, gas prices have gone up more than 40 cents a gallon.
- 42:03Oh, that's just, and again, I know there are a lot of people.
- 42:05That may be uh a serious impact, you know.
- 42:0940 cents a gallon, that's I mean, that's not that's not chunk change.
- 42:13But with the um, I think the before the war, the average price of gasoline was $2.79.
- 42:19That is a 15% increase.
- 42:21Yep.
- 42:22I'm sure that has an impact.
- 42:24But this is again, this is the strategic petroleum reserve.
- 42:29It was it was this, by the way, this is the same SPR that Biden drained and uh uh, you know, in order to keep gas prices down when his policies drove gas prices up.
- 42:43So he you know, he used it as a political petroleum reserve.
- 42:47And what's interesting is he when he withdrew oil, that was oil that was purchased at a relatively low price, and they didn't refill it right away because well, I don't know if it was because they just didn't want to, or because the fact that oil prices were high.
- 43:04So uh, you know, again, Mr.
- 43:06Schumer, I want to I want to remind you, strategic petroleum reserve, not the political petroleum reserve, not the the keep the constituents happy petroleum reserve.
- 43:18This is their and again, maybe this conflict goes on, maybe China finally decides to go uh invade Taiwan.
- 43:27Uh maybe the war between Russia and Ukraine boils over and and we have to get more involved.
- 43:34That is those are the purposes of the strategic petroleum reserve, not to make politicians look good, even though that's how it's used, been used time and time and time again.
- 43:45So, Mr.
- 43:45Schumer, uh, you're just showing yourself to be another petty, feckless politician that's uh you know not interested in the strategic issues of this country, but in I don't know, is it I'm not sure if it's trying to make people's life easier or just making Trump look bad?
- 44:02I I really don't know.
- 44:04To do it this quickly makes me think maybe this is more about making Trump look bad than actually having the strategic reserves we need should the conflicts that are bubbling across the world actually go to a full rolling boil to an actual uh shooting war that the United States gets involved in.
- 44:26And I understand people are gonna be it's gonna be hard in the pocketbook.
- 44:30I've I drove by the other day uh uh here in Tennessee and saw a huge increase in the price of gasoline.
- 44:37But guess what?
- 44:38I have my own quote unquote strategic petroleum reserve.
- 44:41Yeah, I keep a reserve of gasoline in my house.
- 44:44I do it for primarily in case the power goes out and there's no access to gasoline, but it's also there.
- 44:51I've used it in the past when uh gas was either unavailable or extremely expensive.
- 44:57That's what I do.
- 44:58That's what the strategic petroleum reserve was designed for.
- 45:02Um, do you really want to turn it into, well, my prices are higher, and then when we really need it, it's not there.
- 45:11I wonder how that would impact our strategic decision making if we start drawing if we again draw down this this reserve for political reasons, not um not strategic reasons.
- 45:24And then I I have I have this one.
- 45:27Um it's a it's uh a committee hearing, a house committee hearing.
- 45:34Um that you just gotta hear it to to believe it actually happened.
- 45:40You tell me uh what is queering the map?
- 45:43So I think we were trying to make the maps more gay.
- 45:47Okay, hang on a second.
- 45:49My brain just went eh.
- 45:52How do you make a map gay?
- 45:55How do you make a map more homosexual?
- 45:58I mean, this is the level of stupid that uh uh apparently under the Biden administration, they issued grants to entities to make the maps more gay.
- 46:10And here you have uh um a Sarah uh Rogers, I believe her name is uh, she's the State Department's under-secretary for public diplomacy.
- 46:20She's testifying about advancing national security through public diplomacy, and she says, Well, we were told to make the maps more gay, and apparently, uh, although maybe not as brain hurt as as I was, um uh Congressman Mast uh he had questions.
- 46:42Literally, that's well, I think.
- 46:44How do you make a map more gay?
- 46:45I mean, especially for gay at all.
- 46:46You know, since the age of cartography, we've had pretty good maps, but maybe they weren't gay enough.
- 46:51I get how do you make maps gay?
- 46:53I mean, uh, do you have male and female maps?
- 46:58Again, this whole thing is is so ridiculous.
- 47:00And the fact that she can sit there with a straight face, how how in heaven's name do you become an under-secretary at the State Department and have a straight face when being asked this question?
- 47:13So I I know also I took critical theory in college.
- 47:15I think sometimes people use queer as a verb.
- 47:17I do understand that the maps that we were trying to make gay were, I think of Czechia and Slovakia.
- 47:24So maybe those countries asked for it.
- 47:25I I doubt it, but I don't know.
- 47:27And there's the answer to the question.
- 47:29She took quote unquote critical theory that again turns everything into politics.
- 47:37And somehow, I'm still true.
- 47:39Well, we had good maps, but maybe they weren't gay enough.
- 47:42She never answered the question.
- 47:44How is a map gay?
- 47:46Well, we were the maps we were supposed to look at were about these two countries, and maybe they asked for it.
- 47:52Well, if they want to make their maps gay, let them make their maps gay.
- 47:56Why in God's name do you even consider why is anybody spending any time, wasting any time, effort, money on the stupidest idea I've heard in weeks, the idea of making maps gay?
- 48:11We do have real things to work on in Congress, like what's going on with the imminent threat of Iran, and it is embarrassing that we have to talk about the fact that things like this were funded.
- 48:21I'm sorry, embarrassing is not the word I would use.
- 48:24Umbarrassing is maybe the beginning of the thing.
- 48:30This is uh this is horrifying.
- 48:34This is express it shows a level of stupid that you know should simply be dismissed as a fever dream or maybe an LSD-induced hallucination.
- 48:46This is in credulous, because it's as uh uh Representative Post points out, Congress has work to do.
- 48:54There are more important things than trying to figure out how you make maps more gay.
- 49:00But listen to some of the other things that were funded by this con by Congress, right?
- 49:06Not this Congress, but by Congress, to waste your taxpayer dollars on.
- 49:10And it is embarrassing that we have to talk about the fact that things like this were funded, non-binary and trans francophones, linguistic attitudes and ideologies towards inclusive French uh in Montreal, Canada, these things.
- 49:24Why in heaven's name were we spending money about linguistic uses in Montreal?
- 49:32That's not part of the United States, ladies and gentlemen, that's part of Canada.
- 49:36But again, I'm sure there's a lot of things that don't look at this, don't look at the money we've wasted and spent.
- 49:41Don't look at the time.
- 49:43You think about oh, we spent X amount of dollars.
- 49:46How many government employees wasted their time on this type of nonsense?
- 49:52How much of the federal deficit was driven, not just by these programs, but programs similar to that?
- 49:58Programs that have nothing to do with the United States.
- 50:00Programs that have that that are simply a political agenda.
- 50:04These are, you know what these are?
- 50:06Uh, these are what we used to call no work jobs, no show jobs, right?
- 50:09It's you create a job, you pay somebody to write up some blithering nonsense that has no real purpose.
- 50:16It's a job scam.
- 50:19It's nothing but a scam.
- 50:20It's to keep, you know, people who have a degree in critical theory and have no useful skills whatsoever to have them employed by the government by using these incredibly stupid, embarrassing foolish ideas of making maps gay.
- 50:40I suggest each and every one of us contact our representative and say, what in God's name was Congress thinking spending money trying to make maps gay?
- 50:50I don't care that the Biden era that they wanted grants.
- 50:54This money is only spent by the power of Congress.
- 50:58Biden can wish and will all he wants.
- 51:00When he spent money that he wasn't legally authorized to, it got shut down by the courts.
- 51:05This is Congress's problem, which means it's a problem.
- 51:08The people that represent us.
- 51:11The House of Representatives.
- 51:13Yeah, the states, the Senate passed it, they represent the states.
- 51:16But this money was funded through our representatives.
- 51:20They spent our money on this ridiculous, stupid boondoggle.
- 51:25You know who needs to be embarrassed?
- 51:27We need to get a list.
- 51:28I want to find out who voted for this.
- 51:31Let's find out who voted for this.
- 51:32And every one of them should be exposed for the absolute idiocy of funding a program, a grant to make maps more gay.
- 51:43They need to be, you want to be embarrassed.
- 51:46We should embarrass them publicly, repeatedly.
- 51:50I think that's the only way you get you make an impact on them is to embarrass them publicly.
- 51:57Don't let them hide.
- 51:59Don't let them say, oh, there's nothing to see here.
- 52:01We didn't really do anything.
- 52:02Oh, it was part of a embarrass them.
- 52:05I don't care if it was a part of a must pass legislation.
- 52:08This was not a must-pass legislation.
- 52:10It should not have been there.
- 52:12This is the criminal antics of our Congress, of our employees.
- 52:16When, ladies and gentlemen, when are we going to start calling them out and just publicly embarrass them for this level of stupidity?
- 52:25By the way, I'd love to do that for Schumer.
- 52:28No, the petroleum reserve is not meant to keep the people to keep the politicians happy, to give them something to give to their people to make them look good.
- 52:36It's there in case there's an emergency.
- 52:38And I'm sorry, gas prices going up is not a national national, a strategic emergency.
- 52:45It may be an emergency to individuals, but it's not a strategic emergency.
- 52:50And this is the level of stupid that permeates governments at all levels.
- 52:57You know, from, oh no, nothing to see with you.
- 53:00There's no there's no voter fraud here.
- 53:01Yes, there is.
- 53:03Oh no, the the it was a white supremacists that were demonstrating.
- 53:06Yeah, but it was the they were demonstrating against Islam, and it was the Islamists that tried to bomb them.
- 53:12It's washing away that Massachusetts.
- 53:15People are leaving.
- 53:16Yeah, okay.
- 53:16You know, the half a percent a year are leaving.
- 53:19Could it be because of taxes?
- 53:20Yeah, maybe.
- 53:22But the idea that that people are fleeing from blue states, that's not the best example.
- 53:27But again, if you live in Massachusetts, that's probably something you want to be concerned about.
- 53:32It's about time we the people stop sitting around and pretending that this is acceptable.
- 53:36Stop going tissue when you hear this and actually get in your representative's face and ask him, did you support this?
- 53:43Did you vote for this?
- 53:44How dare you?
- 53:45And make sure it's public.
- 53:48Just how stupid it is for these legislators to believe you can make maps gay.
- 53:55Yeah, this one really got under my skin.
- 53:57You may not have noticed that.
- 53:58But what I would like you to notice is that, you know, a lot of people may have questions.
- 54:04Okay, hopefully not about making maps gay, but you may have questions about the content I've covered here today, or just other constitutional questions.
- 54:12I love answering questions.
- 54:14That's why I ask you to go to Constitution Study.com/slash questions, and you can ask a question.
- 54:20I nay I ask for your name and email address because I'm going to email you a direct response, right?
- 54:25From me personally, not AI, not you know, some system I'm going to email you.
- 54:31Now, if you'd like me to answer on the radio, click the checkbox.
- 54:34It says please answer on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
- 54:36I will do that as well.
- 54:38But I want your name and email address because me, an actual human being is gonna do my best to answer your question as directly as possible.
- 54:47But I only works when you ask the question.
- 54:49And don't be embarrassed.
- 54:50I I really believe there are only two questions in the world.
- 54:53The one you don't ask and the one you asked three times.
- 54:55They're the only two stupid questions in the world.
- 54:57Everything else is legitimate.
- 54:58If you don't know, ask.
- 55:00The only thing I ask is that you be polite about it.
- 55:03I occasionally get somebody, they're an idiot, right?
- 55:06They they have no manners, they they're aggressive and attacking, even in asking their questions.
- 55:11Those I don't tend to pay much attention to.
- 55:14Ask a civil question.
- 55:15I'll be more than happy to give you an answer.
- 55:17And if it's something that requires more than a simple, you know, answer, we'll have a back and forth.
- 55:22I want to answer questions.
- 55:23I think it's really, really important.
- 55:26But it all starts by you going to constitutionstudy.com/slash questions and asking that question.
- 55:31Again, you want to hear it on the radio, click the checkbox and you'll you'll create content here on the radio.
- 55:37It's a great way for you to be involved and participate in what we're doing here at the radio program.
