- 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.
- 0:31I hear it all the time.
- 0:33Someone wants some politician or bureaucrat in jail for what they did.
- 0:37But when does an investigation into wrongdoing become a political witch hunt?
- 0:43Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read instead of the Constitution, teach the rising generation to be free.
- 0:50Glad you could join me today.
- 0:51There's some some interesting news in the ether this about this time.
- 0:55And I'm starting with a couple of indictments.
- 0:58Well, first, we're going to start with the recent indictment of former FBI director Comey.
- 1:05Now, he's being indicted for alleged threats against the president.
- 1:11Now, he was already indicted once for lying to Congress, but a judge covered his backside on that one.
- 1:17Um that it still bothered me that uh that was never appealed.
- 1:22So now they're going after him again.
- 1:24What is the big deal here?
- 1:25What is it they claimed that Mr.
- 1:27Comey did?
- 1:28Well, if you remember, um, when was this?
- 1:32This was uh last year, I believe, where uh uh Mr.
- 1:36Comey was what claimed he was walking down the beach and he saw seashells that spelled out 8647, and he said, Oh, it just it just magically happened.
- 1:46Uh um, you know, isn't this this is a sign from the universe?
- 1:51Of course, when you see you know, letters spelled out, you know, that wasn't done by accident.
- 1:56That was man-made.
- 1:58And then the assumption was that it was actually Comey that's spelled out 8647, and that is people say, well, that's a threat.
- 2:0686 is basically terming to get rid of somebody on 86 them.
- 2:11Um, and of course, 47, the assumption being that you're referring to Trump as the 47th president of the United States.
- 2:22Now, the charge is that Mr.
- 2:24Comey violated Title 18, Section 871 of the United States States Code, which says, whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier, letter, paper, print, miss of yada yada yada yada.
- 2:40Um any threat to take the life of to kidnap or under body harm on the president of the United States, the president elect, the vice president or any other officer in the line of succession, um, shall be fined under this title or in prison, not more than five years or both.
- 2:58So, what they're saying is that by spelling out 8647, and then transmitting it in this case via I think it was Instagram, uh, this was a threat to the president that uh Mr.
- 3:13Comey was making, and that's what they're alleging.
- 3:16Now, this to me seems incredibly thin.
- 3:21So I did a little bit of research into the entomology of the phrase 86, and it appears to come out of the restaurant industry, where it means to throw out, to stop serving, or to tell someone they are out of luck.
- 3:35In other words, this is not a threat of violence, it's not a threat of death or serious injury, it's we're not dealing with you anymore.
- 3:44So uh, how this became a question of harm or or or death, as I've seen so many people refer to, uh, it again, it it seems a very long stretch.
- 4:01Which makes me wonder is this really the best you could come up with?
- 4:04All the illegal things that Comey was was accused of, the best you could come out with is this.
- 4:11Besides, doesn't this come out come under the first amendment's deprivation um right to freedom of the press to publish a video where he says we should the the universe is telling us to throw out to get rid of or to refuse to serve the 47th president of the United States.
- 4:32Again, um this seems to be more than just a stretch.
- 4:39I mean, uh, the the fact to me, this is a perfect example of a good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.
- 4:49Because that's pretty much what we're seeing here is a is a ham sandwich.
- 4:53Oh, we want to get rid of, we want to throw out Donald Trump.
- 4:57How is that a threat to his his life?
- 4:59How is that a threat of serious injury?
- 5:02Why is that not simply I don't know, an expression of I don't like him as president and I'd like to get rid of him.
- 5:11In other words, this is a this is not the threat to take the life to kidnap or under inflict bodily harm on the president, it's a desire to get rid of him.
- 5:21That's what the term 86 means.
- 5:23It's another example of how the shifting assumption of what words means can actually become um problematic because everyone is assuming that the term 86 means to kill.
- 5:35Not just get not just leave, but to get rid of, to somehow dispose of and get and throw out.
- 5:43But I'll talk about throwing out of office, you know, and again, I'm no fan of Mr.
- 5:47Comey.
- 5:47I thought it was an evil FBI director.
- 5:50I think there's plenty of things that that I think uh the question of lying to Congress.
- 5:56Um I also have an issue with that as well from a constitutional standpoint.
- 6:02But you know, okay, I think he should have pursued that a little bit more than well, the judge threw it out.
- 6:07Well, have you thought of appealing that?
- 6:10If this is the best you can come up with, this seems more like a political witch hunt than a true search for justice.
- 6:22Now, at uh at the same time, almost the same time, uh, the Department of Justice also announced that it is indicted a an employee of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for taking part in a scheme to conceal federal records regarding COVID-19 research grants.
- 6:43Now, of course, this is getting a lot of attention because this employee worked at the NIAID when it was run by, yeah, I got it, Dr.
- 6:53Fauci.
- 6:55David Morens, who's now 78, was uh the senior advisor to uh NI director Fauci from 2006 to 2022, and he is charged with conspiracy against the United States, which includes destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal, or mutilation of records, as well as aiding and abetting.
- 7:00Advisor to uh and i director Fauci from 2006 to 2022.
- 7:07And he is charged with conspiracy against the United States, which includes destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal, or mutilation of records, as well as aiding and a betting.
- 7:22Now, according to the indictment, Mr.
- 7:22Now, according to the indictment, Mr.
- 7:24Morens and two unnamed co-conspirators, co-conspirators, which I always find problematic, right?
- 7:24Morens and two unnamed co conspirators, co conspirators, which I always find problematic, right?
- 7:29It's like, well, there are other there.
- 7:32At least they're not named.
- 7:33Uh, he said that the he, the co-conspirates and the others allegedly conspired during the 2000s, the COVID-19 pand quote unquote pandemic to defraud the United States and commit related offenses after the MIH terminated one of the co-conspirators' grants.
- 7:51The grant named understanding the risk of back coronavirus emergence was terminated following allegations that COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
- 8:04The NIAID awarded the grant to company number one and conspirator number one, who in turn issued a subword to the uh uh sub-award to the Wuhan Institutes of Virology.
- 8:18Now, according to the allegations, Mr.
- 8:20Morens wrote to Peter uh Dazak, um uh part of this money funneling thing.
- 8:26Interesting, they sent he sent to his Gmail address rather than to his government account.
- 8:31Doesn't sound too good.
- 8:33He says, There are things I can't say, except Fauci is aware that I have learned that there are ongoing efforts within NIH to steer through this with minimal damage to you and NIH and NIAID.
- 8:45Um, there are other misses or there's other emails as apparently there's more.
- 8:51And um, again, this is an indictment, meaning uh apparently the DOJ is convinced at the grand jury that there is enough evidence to continue with the prosecution.
- 9:03Now, if that evidence, again, remember, you right, a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.
- 9:09Um the question is uh, you know, is this real?
- 9:14In other words, I'm looking at this saying, well, um, you know, um, is there is is there a there?
- 9:23And if the uh information in the indictment is correct, there does appear to be the destruction of documents related to the funding of research, uh, the that may or may not have involved COVID, the the funding of gain of function research in Wuhan, China, and uh I'm not sure exactly what else.
- 9:44I haven't been through the entire indictment.
- 9:46So here I have two cases, one of which appears really easily to be a witch hunt.
- 9:54It's a political witch hunt.
- 9:56Uh Donald Trump and company don't like umy because of what he did to Donald Trump, and it's almost like they're reaching for straws to find something to hold him accountable with.
- 10:10On the flip side, you have this this uh Mr.
- 10:14Morens, this David, Dr.
- 10:16David Morens, sorry, Dr.
- 10:17Morens, uh, who apparently there is evidence of at least some communication about uh funding and documents that is that is untoward and is moving forward.
- 10:30Now, this is why we have this uh a judicial, an adversarial judicial system, right?
- 10:37The idea is you know, the judicials it's about adversaries.
- 10:41You have the prosecution on one side and the defense on the other.
- 10:45And the defense has a right to confront their accusers.
- 10:51They have the right to compel witnesses in their favor.
- 10:54They have a right to put up a fight, and the prosecution has the right to compel witnesses to uh counter to cross-examine witnesses for the defense to put up a fight.
- 11:09This is where the the battle supposedly for truth and justice is supposed to take place.
- 11:16I'm not saying it always does, and I say it always doesn't, but this is why we have an adversarial judicial system, so that the both sides seeking their own best interest will hopefully expose the truth.
- 11:32It's also why people that the defense has a right to a trial by jury.
- 11:39In other words, it isn't a government actor that's going to decide if you're guilty or not, it's we the people.
- 12:06You're there looking for justice.
- 12:08And if the person is guilty, you're there to find their guilt.
- 12:12If the person is not guilty, then you're there to find them not guilty.
- 12:16It's not about sides, it's not about politics, not supposed to be outrageous.
- 12:20It's supposed to be about justice.
- 12:22That's why we used to call them courts of justice.
- 12:26Speaking of justice, the uh House Judiciary Subcommittee is taking a look at the freedom of access to clinic entrances act or the Face Act and whether or not the Biden administration used this law to target pro-life advocates.
- 12:44Now, it really shouldn't surprise you that there's political crowing going on.
- 12:48Uh, representative Chiproy, a Republican from Texas, uh uh told said uh, as we just saw with the Department of Justice's recent indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, important work is being done to hold the left-wing activist network accountable, especially those increasingly operating as de facto partners of the federal government to undermine the rule of law.
- 13:08That sounds great, Mr.
- 13:09Roy, but it's really just political witch huntery.
- 13:13Now, is there evidence?
- 13:15I believe there is evidence that the FACE Act uh was used, it was weaponized by the Biden administration.
- 13:23I also like to point out that the FACE Act is a blatant violation of the Fifth Amendment.
- 13:28Um, it's also a violation of the First Amendment, because this is a federal law, a law created by Congress that denies people the right to uh to peaceably assemble simply because you're in the entrance of a of a of a clinic.
- 13:43By the way, I find it always interesting that the federal government only seems to prosecute attacks on pregnancy centers.
- 13:50I'm sorry, on abortion centers, not on pregnancy centers.
- 13:54So you have the the equal justice question, but it's also a violation of the Fifth Amendment because you're depriving people of their liberty without due process of law.
- 14:00Of the Fifth Amendment because you're depriving people of their liberty without due process of law.
- 14:06If people are demonstrating outside of any entrance, if they are on public property outside of any entrance, then they have the right to peaceably assemble.
- 14:06If people are demonstrating outside of any entrance, if they are on public property outside of any entrance, then they have the right to peaceably assembled.
- 14:17They have a right to do that and be at liberty without without being uh dealt with by the police to not be deprived of that liberty without due process of law.
- 14:17They have a right to do that and be at liberty without without being uh dealt with by the police to not be deprived of that liberty without due process of law.
- 14:26If they are on private property, the private property owner has.
- 14:26If they are on private property, the private property owner has every right to tell them to leave, to deny them act, to trespass them.
- 14:35And it doesn't matter if it's if it's a clinic or a restaurant or a bodega or any other office building.
- 14:44This is where we turn these legal issues into political witch hunts, which to me is extremely dangerous because when the rule of law becomes a rule of political effectiveness, well then how do you know what laws will be applied when and under what circumstances?
- 15:03It's a very dangerous situation on my standpoint, which is why.
- 15:08You know, okay, are you the is the Senate uh subcommittee uh the house subject uh subcommittee not only looking at how the the uh face act was used, but the actual constitutionality of the face act.
- 15:22I'd love to see someone talking about that.
- 15:25In fact, I volunteered.
- 15:28If the uh House Judiciary Subcommittee would ask me, please don't subpoena me, simply ask, would you come and talk to us why I think and can I show that the freedom of access to clinical entrances act is unconstitutional?
- 15:41I would be more than happy to go to the belly of the beast, Washington, D.C., and testify in front of their subcommittee.
- 15:49Um I'm volunteering right here, right now.
- 15:53The only thing I asked is you subpoena me, you're gonna piss me off because you don't have the legal authority to deny me of my liberty without due process of law.
- 16:01But if you simply ask, Paul, can you come at this date and this time and come talk to us?
- 16:06I would be happy to.
- 16:08Because I think it's important that they understand.
- 16:11But the uh the you know, the while this may be a a completely legitimate investigation, Chip Royce sounds like he's turned like he's using it as a political witch hunt.
- 16:23Okay, I I have a break coming up.
- 16:25Before I go, though, you know, we were talking about uh the the COVID documentation that was hidden.
- 16:30We're still dealing with this.
- 16:34Vaccine injuries are real.
- 16:36The shedding of the virus, especially from those vaccinated, is real.
- 16:40As I've said, I I'm on the board of a not for profit where somebody had to retire because of lung COVID.
- 16:46And there are a lot of people that are very concerned that this is going to be around for a while because that that mRNA vaccine that was supposed to remain in the injection site but spread throughout the body, that was supposed to be done in just a few weeks and was found months later, telling your body how to produce the toxic and inflammatory spike protein, the part of the COVID-19 that was actually dangerous.
- 17:09We're gonna be dealing with this for a while.
- 17:11Now, our friends at the wellness company, they've come up with a product they call daily spike support.
- 17:17It is designed to block and dissolve that very toxic spike protein.

- 20:03Well, did you see Google quietly updated its AI principles removing its pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance?
- 20:12A promise they agreed to in 2018.
- 20:15Well, the American people have seen Google's track record, prompt in the question.
- 20:19Is Google an untrustworthy player in the AI race?
- 20:28Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
- 20:31America outlawed.
- 20:33News, liberty and justice for all.
- 20:58For example, uh the EPA director, Lee Zeldon, was before the House Appropriations Committee, and he was answering questions from Connecticut Representative Rosa Delaro.
- 21:00Director Lee Zeldon was before the House Appropriations Committee, and he was answering questions from Connecticut Representative Rosa Delaro.
- 21:09And this to me started out with uh well, it was started out with a classic, but the back and forth I just found it interesting.
- 21:09And this to me started out with uh it was started out with the classic, but the back and forth, I just found it interesting.
- 21:17Let's take a listen.
- 21:17Let's take a listen.
- 21:18When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster courts.
- 21:18When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster cards.
- 21:26How can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect?
- 21:26How can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth?
- 21:35Now, if this were a courtroom, I'd be objection, statements not facts, not in evidence.
- 21:41How many of our streets are flooded, and can they actually be tied to climate change?
- 21:45Where's the evidence that that our that our air is polluted because it's not there?
- 21:52That that that we all all her simple assertions, right?
- 21:55Without factor basis, how can you abandon the lack of science?
- 22:01Um how can you abandon my political agenda because you know, and claim that that you're just you know running up profits.
- 22:14Listen to Mr.
- 22:14Zelz's response.
- 22:16Following the law, section 202 of the Clean Air Act.
- 22:19Where does it say anything about fighting global climate change?
- 22:23Loper Bright, Supreme Court case, you're familiar with it.
- 22:26Wow.
- 22:28The law, the law, where does it say anything in the law that my job is to fight global climate change?
- 22:34Um, this very powerful answer.
- 22:36But the back and forth becomes really interesting.
- 22:40No, I I maybe others are not, but let me ask you.
- 22:43But that's really important.
- 22:43As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we, as as an agency, don't have the authority to get creative.
- 22:50If Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, no, no, but you don't have excuse me.
- 22:54You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax, and that's where this administration is.
- 23:02I want you to understand, because Mr.
- 23:03Zeldon focused on Loper Bright, but think about it this way.
- 23:07The law passed by Congress, of which Ms.
- 23:10Del Delaro is a current member, doesn't say anything about dealing with global climate change.
- 23:18The courts have told Congress that the laws passed by Congress doesn't allow agencies like the EPA to simply make up the rules.
- 23:28They have to follow what Congress has said.
- 23:31And she's upset that a member of an executive agency is telling her I have to follow the law.
- 23:40But then she goes on and says, Well, that doesn't give you the right to say climate change doesn't exist.
- 23:46Um excuse me, Ms.
- 23:48Delaro.
- 23:48Um, First Amendment, freedom of speech.
- 23:53Uh he's he represents the administrative.
- 23:56You're telling me the president isn't allowed to express his opinion because you have sold out to this climate change.
- 24:03Yes, hoax.
- 24:04There is no evidence that man has had a significant impact.
- 24:10Uh, we do have an impact.
- 24:12It is a minuscule impact.
- 24:14But uh, this this in this craziness goes on.
- 24:17Anderson, you're upset that you don't know what Loperbright is.
- 24:19Do you know what the major policies doctrine is?
- 24:21I'm accept I'm upset because you know what the major policies doctrine is.
- 24:24You know what?
- 24:24Let me just you're a member of Congress.
- 24:26You should know.
- 24:26Well, you're you're you you have moved from someone who defended the environment to all of a sudden.
- 24:32I'm very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark supreme court cases of the last year.
- 24:37Regards to your question.
- 24:38You are very defensive about changing your policy and your positions with regard to the environment.
- 24:45What you see is a classic emotion versus logic debate.
- 24:51Right, Ms.
- 24:51DeLosa is upset.
- 24:53She has an emotional visceral reaction because she has worshipped, I use that term.
- 24:59I don't know if she'd use it.
- 25:01She's worshipped climate change, and now she accuses Mr.
- 25:06Zeldin, who is executing the policies of the president of the United States.
- 25:11Remember, all executive power is vested in the president.
- 25:14He isn't a part of the executive.
- 25:16He is exercising the presence.
- 25:17And now she's mad at him because he's contradicting her, because he's focusing on the law and not the emotion of supporting this climate change agenda.
- 25:31And this, by the way, it goes on to the point where the chairman eventually has to get them, has to step in to get them to stop.
- 25:38But again, notice you have a member of Congress who doesn't care about the law, who doesn't care about court decisions regarding the powers of the executive branch.
- 25:50She's just upset that a member of the executive branch doesn't follow her delusion, her emotional attachment to a political agenda not supported by actual science.
- 26:05It's supported by some scientists, but it's not supported by science.
- 26:11That to me is a definition of um well, a political witch hunt.
- 26:16That's what that has a particular interchange has turned into.
- 26:21Meanwhile, something that probably should be um investigated, once again, the farm bill, or as I like to call it, horculus, the uh one person called it the Save Our Bacon Act.
- 26:35Um this bill, which I think is on the way to the House floor, has more than three hundred amendments over key provisions, right?
- 26:46What is the what is in this god-awful, you know, pork-laden monstrosity.
- 26:54No, the the Save Our Bacon Act is that it's actually an amendment to the the farm bill that doesn't want states to implement their own production standards.
- 27:04Nothing big surprise, large stake industry stakeholders in the pork uh industry, they don't like the idea of states actually making their own rules.
- 27:13They like the federal government doing this, including, by the way, Smithfield Foods, which is a Chinese-owned company.
- 27:21Meanwhile, a uh may a main representative Charlie Pingry and uh Thomas Massey are leading a bipartisan effort to remove pesticide labeling provisions.
- 27:34Apparently, this is the let's save Roundup uh in the in the uh farm bill.
- 27:39Um, according to Representative Massey, if farmers contract a form of cancer or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from this chemical, the the glyphosate that's part of Roundup, is that if this makes it into the farm bill, you won't be able to sue for that.
- 27:51Oh, great, let's give chemical manufacturers immunity from cancer caused by their products.
- 28:00Why?
- 28:00Why?
- 28:00Well, because somebody got not only represent the court Congress's year, but the president's year.
- 28:00Well, because somebody got in not only represent the Congress's year, but the president's year.
- 28:06We we need this in order to keep putting out this food, even if it's poisoning the people.
- 28:06We we need this in order to keep putting out this food, even if it's poisoning the people.
- 28:11And of course, the farm bill always includes the infamous snap benefits, the supplemental nutrition assistance program, which uh again, it's just pork by another name.
- 28:11And of course, the farm bill always includes the infamous snap benefits, the supplemental nutrition assistance program, which uh again, it's just pork by another name.
- 28:22It's let's take let's take an unconstitutional program.
- 28:22It's let's take let's take an unconstitutional program.
- 28:25Federal government's not authorized to spend money on supplemental nutrition.
- 28:25Federal government's not authorized to spend money on supplemental nutrition, but of course.
- 28:29But of course, that always gives it because like people, Congressmen like spending money, and people like getting money from other people.
- 28:36This is the mess that we're into.
- 28:38You know, the this this farm bill, this is how Congress hides all this garbage, all this refuge, all the pork, all the theft, all the unconstitutional nonsense buried in this ginormous pork list disaster.
- 28:53And it gets through.
- 28:54Why?
- 28:54Well, we we do we want SNAP.
- 28:56We don't want people going hungry.
- 28:57We're not willing to help pay for that themselves.
- 28:59No, no, no.
- 29:00We want the federal government, we want the federal government to take money from other people to pay with these things.
- 29:05And remember, it's not just SNAP.
- 29:07These are a lot of these programs have been found out to have a lot of fraud in them lately.
- 29:13Does anybody remember?
- 29:15Was it the SNAP fraud in?
- 29:16I think it was California, where you had uh was thousands of um places that were not selling snap eligible stuff, but they were snap locations.
- 29:26Um that again that this fraud is is made easier by having all these programs that are doling out money.
- 29:37The federal government isn't legally allowed to uh to dole out, which means why is there not an investigation into the embezzlement performed by Congress?
- 29:47Now, listen, you can't you can't pick a specific congressman and investigate them for what they say and vote on in on the floor, but you can certainly investigate Congress for their um their illegal, their extortion, they're not extortion, uh, embezzlement of trillions of dollars of money from the American people, mainly to buy votes to keep themselves in office or to pay off donors who help them buy votes so they can stay in office.
- 30:19Maybe some of these investigations should be focused not simply on the people that the federal government attacks, but on several of the programs that the federal government promotes, even though, especially those that are not supported by a power vested in the government to the United States by the Constitution of the United States.
- 30:39For example, I mean they're they're investigating, uh at least the feds are now investigating the fraud in Minnesota, uh, where there is believed that uh roughly nine billion dollars was taken fraudly uh fraudulently from the state Medicaid system.
- 30:55Um if they're coming from the state system, some of that money came from the from the federal government.
- 31:02Are people looking at the accusations that the Biden administration embezzled money by classifying certain uh taxpayer-backed loans to planned parenthood as Benghazi?
- 31:14I mean, there certainly is plenty of fraud in the federal government, both today and in previous administrations that I believe should be investigated.
- 31:23Now, I don't want political witch hunts.
- 31:26I don't want people indicted because of their political positions or because they have previously harmed the administration or members of the administration.
- 31:35No, I want these criminal activities investigated and those behind them indicted and prosecuted.
- 31:44I don't want, like I said, you know, Comey, they may have had a case with the uh lying to Congress, but this idea of you know 86 to 47 is somehow a threat against the president is ridiculous.
- 31:58It's just a witch hunt.
- 32:01But we need to investigate these, and it shouldn't be a a partisan investigation.
- 32:06In other words, it shouldn't be Trump going after Biden things, and then whoever comes next going after Trump.
- 32:14No, the people should demand better.
- 32:16They should demand better of their representative representatives.
- 32:20They should demand better of their uh of their the public servants at both the state and federal level.
- 32:29We should demand better.
- 32:31And that's the problem.
- 32:33You see, the problem is we we we want someone to fix this, but we're not willing to make sure we hire people that are willing to fix this.
- 32:40We eventually say, well, you know, it's the best, it's the best donkey or it's the best elephant we can find, rather than looking for the best person we can find.
- 32:50We've we've turned this into a play, a game of of political touch football.
- 32:55And we have lost so much of the republic.
- 32:58We've lost so many of our rights because of all the things we've let the federal government do because our guys did it, or our guys supported it, or I benefited from it directly.
- 33:12Maybe the investigation needs we need to do a little investigating of ourselves, not just of the federal government, but about how we go about choosing our representatives that work in the that represent us in the federal government, in the state government, in the local government.
- 33:27Now, right here, right now here in Tennessee, we're in the middle of primary season.
- 33:31And so I'm talking a lot about these things.
- 33:33And I'm pointing out, hey, you know, a primary is a publicly funded election for a private organization to limit the the names on the actual ballot in November.
- 33:46Umbe we should be spending less time worrying about donkeys and elephants, D's and Rs.
- 33:53Maybe we should be looking more at the character of the people we're choosing.
- 33:57Maybe we should be holding them accountable a lot more.
- 34:01I don't just mean yelling in at Facebook or Twitter or whatever.
- 34:04I mean, do like I did when I saw my state reps doing something I didn't I thought was wrong.
- 34:10I asked them why.
- 34:13And uh, and when they came back with an answer I didn't like, I I challenged them.
- 34:19Right?
- 34:19This needs to be part of the process.
- 34:22And I think, you know, as much as we like to point the finger, those people work for us.
- 34:28We hired them.
- 34:29Therefore, we're responsible for what they do, especially what they do in our name.
- 34:35I understand.
- 34:36They're getting lobbied like crazy, right?
- 34:38They're lobbyists, there are our special interest groups or activist groups that are always pushing an agenda.
- 34:45The agenda, however, isn't always protecting our rights.
- 34:48Frequently, it's destroying our rights.
- 34:50And these agendas are often funded by the very corporations we do businesses with.
- 34:56Why do we buy from companies that don't believe what we believe?
- 34:59Why don't we seek out companies that do believe what we believe?
- 35:00We seek out companies that do believe what we believe.
- 35:03There's several companies I don't do business with anymore because they've shown to support agendas that destroy my rights.
- 35:03There's several companies I don't do business with anymore because they've shown to support agendas that destroy my rights.
- 35:11But there are companies that believe.
- 35:11But there are companies that believe.
- 35:13There are companies that work to secure our rights.
- 35:13There are companies that work to secure our rights.
- 35:17One of them is Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

- 39:54Welcome back, everyday Americans the Constitution study.
- 39:58We've been talking about indictments and investigations.
- 40:02Well, I'm gonna throw out a couple things that uh, well, not legally indictments, but uh certainly things that the American people I think should be um much more outraged about and just seem to be letting things go along.
- 40:15And I'm reminded of a line from Ronald Reagan back in 1961 where he said uh freedom is never more than one generation away from instinct from extinction.
- 40:26And I have to wonder is this the generation?
- 40:29Because it seems like the American people are willing to simply roll over and accept any infringement on their rights that that that uh Congress can come up with.
- 40:37Uh for example, the um uh the latest is the the uh in-car monitoring mandate.
- 40:46Right back in 21, Congress passed a completely unconstitutional law, right?
- 40:51There's absolutely no basis for this law that involves, among other things, um, every car that will be built starting with the 2027 model year.
- 41:03The law requires that such vehicles include a system that monitors drivers to see if they're impaired and can intervene if necessary.
- 41:13Now, again, I do not drink, I barely drink, I don't drink and drive, and I think people that do should be severely punished.
- 41:22But the idea is that first of all, the federal government has the authority to dictate policy over transportation violates the Constitution.
- 41:30It violates the 10th Amendment because it's not a power delegated to the United States by the Constitution, therefore they don't have that power.
- 41:36It violates the necessary and proper clause because Congress can only make laws that are necessary and proper to put into effect powers delegated to the government of the United States.
- 41:45This did not happen.
- 41:47Now they say, well, most of these cars are sold through interstate transport, but you're not in your interstate commerce.
- 41:53You're not regulating the interstate commerce, you're regulating the vehicle simply because it passed through interstate commerce.
- 42:00This to me goes way, way back.
- 42:00This to me goes way, way back.
- 42:02Now you have to understand a couple things.
- 42:02You have to understand a couple things.
- 42:03When I was a ch when I was young, when I was small, uh my dad and my mom rode mini bikes, and I wanted to ride a minibike and my made a deal that uh when I could ride my bicycles with certain tests, then he would teach me to ride a minibike.
- 42:03When I was a child, when I was young, when I was small, uh, my dad and my mom, they rode minibikes, and I wanted to ride a minibike and my made a deal that uh when I could ride my bicycles with certain tests, then he would teach me to ride a minibike.
- 42:18When I passed the test, we teach me to ride a mini-bike.
- 42:18When I passed the test, we teach me to ride a mini bike.
- 42:21He handed me a helmet.
- 42:21He handed me a helmet.
- 42:23Now, this wasn't some cheap old helmet he bought at like the Kmart.
- 42:23Now, this wasn't some cheapo helmet he bought at like the Kmart.
- 42:27This was a race-rated helmet, and he made it quite.
- 42:27This was a race-rated helmet, and he made it quite clear.
- 42:30If he ever caught me on that mini-bike without that helmet, getting into an accident would be the least of my worries.
- 42:37All right.
- 42:38So I rode my motorcycles for years.
- 42:40The idea of riding without a helmet was just it made my skin crawl.
- 42:45But it doesn't mean I think the government should have mandated them.
- 42:48They did in New York.
- 42:50But to me, that's government overreach.
- 42:52Same thing with seatbelts, right?
- 42:53When I was a child, my sister and I we'd get in the back of the car and my mother would say the three ups.
- 42:59Lock up, buckle up, and shut up in that order.
- 43:02I don't get into a car.
- 43:04It's it it to without wearing my seatbelt.
- 43:07It's is normal.
- 43:08It's it's it's it's the right thing.
- 43:10Do I think the government should be mandating that?
- 43:12No.
- 43:14Now I just bought a car.
- 43:16Uh it's a used car, but so it's it's 22.
- 43:18I'm not worried about the new stuff.
- 43:20But guess what?
- 43:21It won't even go into gear unless the seatbelt is buckled.
- 43:25So if I'm just trying to move my car around my driveway, I have to buckle the seatbelt.
- 43:32Going too far.
- 43:34But now you have so that somehow this thing is supposed to, not because you've done anything wrong, right?
- 43:39There's no due process in any of this.
- 43:42They simply say you must prove you are not impaired to be able to exercise your right to operate your own motor vehicle.
- 43:51Some critics they like they throw a name on, they call it the a kill switch.
- 43:55And I have to wonder.
- 43:57How are they going to detect impairment?
- 44:00Are they going to make you blow in a tube before you start the car?
- 44:04Are they going to monitor your eyes?
- 44:05Are you going to have the car monitoring your face and your eyes and transmitting that to some database to be tracked?
- 44:14How are they going to and what happens when it malfunctions?
- 44:18What happens when, God forbid, some single mother is, you know, trying to get go home from the the, she went out to the with her friends to the movies, and she's trying to get home, and she's in, you know, maybe in a not nice neighborhood, and there's there's a gang of guys come up and she wants to flee.
- 44:38She wants to get away, but she can't because the car won't start because she's nervous and it thinks she's impaired.
- 44:45But this bill passed.
- 44:47And as far as I know, no one has challenged this yet.
- 44:51Because this is something where to me, prior enforcement is very important because you now have car manufacturers that are designing, they've already designed these systems.
- 45:00The 2027 model year is probably is already in the books.
- 45:04It's going to be manufactured soon.
- 45:07They've spent money on this, and nobody has said who.
- 45:12And to me, this is what we to me, as bad as it is that Congress passed this.
- 45:18I think we need investigations to why the American people put up with this.
- 45:23Because this is an infringement on your rights.
- 45:26It's not like you've been, you know, it's one thing.
- 45:28If you've been caught a DWI and they say we're going to put a you can only drive a vehicle with a monitoring system in it, that is a punishment for a crime.
- 45:39To me, the biggest problem is not that cars will operate if someone's impaired.
- 45:44It's how it's the abysmal record our justice system has in punishing DUIs.
- 45:52So once again, we see rather than punishing the guilty, Congress wants to once again punish the innocent by having them pay for a device they don't need, they don't legally need, but they required, they they they told the real regulators, these illegal regulators, the unconstitutional regulators to set up these stand the what they call safety standards for advanced impaired driving prevention technology.
- 46:18Congress has no authority to do that.
- 46:20The regulators, even the regulators don't legally exist.
- 46:24This is why I say I ask, is this the generation where freedom dies?
- 46:30Because now again, I understand there are people that are that are impacted by uh by drunk driving, and it's terrible.
- 46:38And I think the people who do that should be punished severely for the danger they pose to others.
- 46:44But rather than punishing the guilty, we're gonna punish the innocent.
- 46:48And that's um again, that seems to be the way of things.
- 46:52And ladies and gentlemen, that's not a free country.
- 46:57If your rights can be infringed upon because they're afraid you might do something bad, you are not free.
- 47:05So as you go back, we look at these investigations and indictments, right?
- 47:09We look at the the indictment of uh of a former FBI director come for a post he made that you know, I get I know Trump was saying, well, you know, 86, that's mob turn for killing.
- 47:23Actually, it's entomology is um restaurant for don't serve the guy.
- 47:29But now, even you know, the the this thin, weak, feeble attempt to get back at a political opponent, doesn't say much for our justice system, does it?
- 47:41And now we have uh uh the the Fauci assistant who it has been um uh indicted for destroying data.
- 47:49Well, okay, that's to me that sounds like a good deal, or at least he's been indicted, which means a prosecutor convinced a grand jury that they have a case, at least a case worthy of going to court.
- 48:02Uh doesn't mean that Mr.
- 48:03Morns is guilty, right?
- 48:04It means that there's evidence enough that the prosecutions put enough evidence that uh during his tenure, he um I love the way he defrauded the government by um tampering with evidence.
- 48:19Yeah.
- 48:21And again, I put this uh this regulation from the uh infrastructure distract infrastructure destruction and and unemployment act.
- 48:29Of course, they didn't call it, they call it the infrastructure investment and jobs act, but it was not, along with the uh the the push by Congress of to check question the Face Act.
- 48:40The FACE Act is unconstitutional, the infrastructure act was unconstitutional, this regulation is unconstitutional, and the American people do nothing.
- 48:53And then we wonder why our freedoms and rights keep disappearing.
- 48:58We stuff our we we stuff them in in you know pork list bills like the farm bill or or you know, regulations where where uh government simply embezzling trillions of dollars to the American people, and then the shock, shocked to find that there are people that actually commit fraud.
- 49:00We we stuff them in in you know pork list bills like the farm bill or or you know regulations where where uh government simply embezzling trillions of dollars to the American people and then the shock shock to find that there are people that actually commit fraud.
- 49:16Oh my god, there are people that commit fraud, there are people that that you know manipulate the government to their own personal or political benefit.
- 49:16Oh my god, there are people that commit fraud.
- 49:20There are people that that you know manipulate the government to their own personal or political benefit.
- 49:26Inconceivable.
- 49:26Inconceivable.
- 49:28You give you some.
- 49:28You give you some thinking as what you're thinking miss.
- 49:33But yet we live this life every day, and it's up to us.
- 49:37Now, before I call it a day, there's a little thing that's been getting under my skin lately.
- 49:42Uh, we've recently had a visit from King Charles uh of the UK, and of course, a lot of people, because they they talk about our special relationship, and I suppose we have one, and they talk a lot about the different types of government.
- 49:57They make a I've heard a lot of people make a big point about the fact that the king is the head of state, but not the head of government.
- 50:07And that the um the prime minister of England is the head of government.
- 50:12Whereas in the United States, the president is both the head of government and the head of uh state.
- 50:19And um, that grates on me.
- 50:22Because it's not true.
- 50:25Let me make a point.
- 50:26The head of government or the head of state or the chief of state is defined as the formal head of a nation, distinct from the head of the government.
- 50:37And if you look, the president's job is to execute the laws.
- 50:40He is not the head of this nation.
- 50:44He is not the head of the government.
- 50:47He is a public servant.
- 50:49He is the boy, he'd be a servant of the nation, a servant of the government.
- 50:55It shows the fundamental misunderstanding of the role of president.
- 50:59His job is not to run the government, his job is to execute the laws of the United States.
- 51:07His job is not to be the head of the nation.
- 51:10Now, this one, he's his job includes receiving foreign ambassadors and ministers.
- 51:17In other words, his job, part of this job description from Article 2 is when foreign dignitaries uh come is to receive them.
- 51:26That is his job.
- 51:28Um, you know, call it but to say that that he's the formal head of a nation simply because he's his job includes receiving that shows how much we've lost of the freedom and independence that was the foundation of this country almost 250 years ago.
- 51:47It'll be 250 years this July.
- 51:50We declared ourselves independent from a government that said that they are the head, that they have a king that that rules.
- 52:00We don't have a president that rules, he's not the head of government, he's not the head of state.
- 52:07He is a servant, specifically, he's a servant of the states, he is a hireling whose job it is to execute the laws of the United States, to receive ambassadors, to oversee the military under the direction of Congress.
- 52:25Congress says the laws and rules for the military.
- 52:28The president is the chief commander taking his direction from Congress.
- 52:33This whole thing makes the president sound more and more like a king.
- 52:40Even though they say, well, you know, it's it's no, yeah, because if he's the formal head of the nation, he's the king.
- 52:49As opposed to if he's the head of government, well, then he's the king.
- 52:56And that's not the role.
- 52:57Now, I don't know if this is just some um anglophiles going nuts, but based on what I've read and based on what I've seen, and not just now, but for decades past, we think of the president as a king, even though he specifically is hired as a servant.
- 53:18I say again, he is hired by the states as a servant of the states.
- 53:26His primary job is to execute the laws of the United States, to be the commander of the military, executing the laws and regulations established by Congress.
- 53:37Just because part of his job involves receiving foreign ministers, doesn't make him head of state, doesn't make him head of government uh government, doesn't make him some quasi king.
- 53:51And I point this out because it these statements leave in the mind a position of the president that is far beyond his legal boundaries.
- 54:00To me, that's dangerous, and that is a destruction of our freedom.
- 54:06Because when we have a head of government and a head of state that gets to rule over us, our rights are in jeopardy.
- 54:14Now, if you like the work that we're doing here, you can support us by going to the Constitution Study store.
- 54:19Just go to Constitution Study.shop or look for the store button at the top of the website, and uh you'll see I've got books up there, t-shirts, mugs.
