  Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

  This is the Constitution study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:31
  Stockholm syndrome is a condition where hostages bond with their captors.
• 0:36
  Are the American people suffering a form of Stockholm syndrome?
• 0:40
  Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul English here with the Constitution study where we read instead of the Constitution, teacher action generation be free.
• 0:47
  Glad you could join me today.
• 0:49
  You know, I was looking at the news articles I pulled for this episode, and I'm trying to think of, you know, what do these all have in common?
• 0:55
  What's the point here?
• 0:56
  And I realized it's the idea that we've kind of capitulated to the the uh tyranny.
• 1:04
  We've capitulated to the idea that um, you know, whatever the federal government wants, it can do, capitulated the idea that whatever this the courts want, they can do that we are ruled by courts, not uh sovereign citizens that created a government to serve us.
• 1:22
  So I want to take a look at some of these, and and and I'm not saying that all the decisions uh have a bad outcome, but what does it say about the American people and our and and and are we still the land of the free?
• 1:38
  Back on December 8th, the Supreme Court uh decided a on a on a decision from New York State that would uh ban religious exemptions from their school vaccine mandate.
• 1:54
  So uh, you know, New York State, you know, they know vaccine mandates?
• 1:58
  Yes, yes, totalitarian vaccine mandates.
• 2:00
  Uh give you a religious exemption.
• 2:02
  No, no, we can't do that.
• 2:04
  And of course, this is the government chosen by the people of New York.
• 2:08
  Apparently, the people of New York love the idea of uh a totalitarian regime running their lives.
• 2:15
  How do I know that?
• 2:16
  They keep voting for them.
• 2:19
  So the New York State bans religious exemptions in its school vaccine mandate.
• 2:24
  And of course, this is in the shadow of the recent revelations that guess what?
• 2:30
  The FDA never actually received proper safety training uh safety testing of these childhood vaccines before they were approved and put on the channel childhood vaccines uh schedule.
• 2:43
  They they said, well, we can't test them, we can't do a placebo control test because, well, that'd be unethical to deny someone a vaccine that we know is safe, except they don't really know it's safe because it the vaccine they're testing it against apparently never went through these uh uh placebo randomized placebo controlled uh testing either.
• 3:04
  So, you know, as I heard one person describe it, it's like saying that uh um whiskey is no more doesn't get you intoxicated because well, we tested against vodka and we got the same result.
• 3:16
  It's kind of the craziness here.
• 3:18
  Now, a lower court upheld New York State's ban, but the Supreme Court vacated the decision of the Court of Appeals, and uh was sent back to the lower court to for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Mahmoud v.
• 3:36
  Taylor.
• 3:37
  Now that's uh a case that I covered.
• 3:39
  I actually talked about the decision earlier this year.
• 3:42
  Um, so you can find on the website, Constitution Study.com.
• 3:46
  But it had to do with a parent's right to opt children out of uh school mandates, including the vaccine mandate.
• 3:53
  Well, again, the the Supreme Court said nope, no, the lower court, you got it wrong.
• 3:58
  Um we're vacating the order that uh uh um uh uh prevents parents from children where we're vacating that order and uh the the decision I should say from the appeals court and telling them to go get it to go take a second try at it.
• 4:13
  Again, this is legislation that banned religious exemptions to vaccines.
• 4:19
  Um I haven't looked at the details of this particular case.
• 4:23
  I think it's uh Miller versus McDonald, but uh my guess is it came out of an alleged First Amendment violation, which it couldn't be because well, the first amendment says Congress shall make no law, Congress didn't make this law.
• 4:36
  It does violate the fifth and four, or I should say the 14th amendment, because you have a state passing law that it bridges the liberties of the parents to control the raising of their children without due process of law.
• 4:48
  But part of me looks at this and saying, well, wait a second, um, we're we're really saying that uh uh the people of New York, they don't they don't rule anymore.
• 4:59
  They have these these petty tyrants they keep hiring in in Albany, and we're hoping that the courts will save us.
• 5:05
  And that, ladies and gentlemen, to me, is part of this Stockholm syndrome.
• 5:09
  The idea that, well, you know, I can't save myself, I need the the Supreme Court to do it.
• 5:15
  Now, that's one interesting one.
• 5:17
  There's another case that the court heard that uh the prognosticators are looking at, and it really comes to a question of campaign finance law and a challenge to federal law that restricts uh how much political parties can coordinate their spending with their own candidates.
• 5:36
  Now, this is another case.
• 5:38
  I'm I'm gonna have to get into the details of the oral arguments at a later date.
• 5:42
  I haven't gotten into them.
• 5:43
  But isn't it interesting about, you know, we we have these, we have this thing called the Constitution, and it talks about freedom of speech and freedom of the press and freedom of expression, but we still seem to be dependent on what the courts say.
• 5:59
  We still still seem to follow the courts.
• 6:02
  Now, again, courts are made up of human beings.
• 6:05
  They get it right, they get it wrong.
• 6:08
  But it seems more like we we have this idea they they rule, and this is important because the court's gonna rule on this, except the Supreme Court doesn't rule.
• 6:18
  It it offers opinions.
• 6:21
  And again, this is another case where the the circuit court, uh, and this the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, um, decided that uh uh no, the Republican Party doesn't have a case um that uh, you know, Congress passed the law, that's the Supreme Law of the Land, would you my guess?
• 6:41
  Again, I haven't reviewed that that this deeply, but again, it's like we're sitting back and we're waiting for the federal courts to rule over us.
• 6:51
  And um, even though the the prognosticators, the people who follow this think that the court is likely to uh uh well, as they as some places would undo this federal law, it still shows a lack of understanding of the way the constitution is set up, the way the three branches of government are constitutionally created, and the limitations on their power.
• 7:16
  For example, um, you know, we go back to the case in uh in in New York with the vaccine mandate, right?
• 7:24
  Well, they say, well, the court vacated the mandate.
• 7:28
  No, they didn't vacate the mandate.
• 7:31
  They said the lower court got it wrong, and they should review this case again in light of a previous decision of the court.
• 7:39
  They didn't say they got the law wrong.
• 7:42
  They said you didn't, you know, we've got an opinion here.
• 7:45
  You need to look at our opinion and follow it better.
• 7:48
  Uh same thing with again with the campaign finance, um, you know, the federal court, the the the uh Supreme Court heard this because they think a lower court got it wrong.
• 7:58
  But the question is does the court have the power to vacate this law to overturn this law?
• 8:06
  And the answer is no.
• 8:09
  Now let me tell you a dirty little secret.
• 8:11
  Uh I see that all the time.
• 8:13
  I talk with lawyers and paralegals and people in the legal industry.
• 8:16
  Um, they often say, well, you know, Marbury versus Madison's where the court decided it could uh it could uh judicial review and and uh they could overturn laws.
• 8:26
  Except if you go back and read the actual opinion in Marbury versus Madison, you find the court says no such thing.
• 8:34
  Now, what the court is again, Marbury versus Madison, um uh before uh Adam John Adams left office as president, he got a bunch of appointments passed through the Senate.
• 8:48
  He appointed, he nominated them, they got passed, but he never finished the paperwork.
• 8:53
  So when uh uh Jefferson came into office as president, he appointed James Madison as a secretary of state, and he saw all of these charters, all of these, you know, uh approvals for office that had not been signed yet, and he refused to sign them.
• 9:11
  I said, No, I'm not signing these.
• 9:13
  Uh, this was done by a previous administration, I'm not signing it.
• 9:16
  So uh Marbury, Mr.
• 9:18
  Marbury, who happened to be one of those appointees as a justice of the peace, uh, he sued and went all the way to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court said, yes, we have the power of judicial review.
• 9:29
  When we look at a case, we must review all of the laws in involved here.
• 9:35
  And if a law is in contradiction to the constitution, we must find for the constitution.
• 9:41
  Now, we believe Mr.
• 9:42
  Marbury is due his appointment, right?
• 9:47
  He has satisfied all the requirements of the appointment.
• 9:51
  But when Congress said that wrote a law that said that that the uh the courts can issue what's called a writ of mandamus.
• 10:00
  An order basically to a lower office that they could issue a rudiment Davis to the uh to the president and the executive branch.
• 10:08
  Congress didn't have that power.
• 10:10
  That was not a power vested in them.
• 10:13
  Therefore, the law is unconstitutional.
• 10:15
  Therefore, even though we think Mr.
• 10:17
  Marbury is right, we cannot issue an order to the president.
• 10:22
  How is this more?
• 10:24
  So, you know, Marbury versus Madison is not the court can do whatever it wants and whatever it does it wants is law.
• 10:32
  Now I want to get into that in some other uh articles I'm gonna look at after the break, but let's stop at this thing.
• 10:39
  Marbury versus Madison did not say that the courts rule, it didn't say that the courts had the authority to overturn legislation, overturn an executive order.
• 10:51
  It simply said, listen, Congress said we had this power.
• 10:55
  The Constitution says no.
• 10:56
  So even though we think Mr.
• 10:58
  Marbury is correct, we don't have the power to order the president to do something.
• 11:04
  And we can't, by extension, we can't order the executive branch, which is exercising his power in his name since all the executive powers vested in the present.
• 11:13
  Now, don't get me wrong.
• 11:14
  A court opinion, especially a supreme court opinion, should carry a lot of weight.
• 11:21
  They are a constitutionally established branch of government, but it still is only an opinion.
• 11:27
  As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federal 78, courts have neither force nor will only judgment and are ultimately dependent on the executive arm for the efficacy of their decisions.
• 11:40
  I'm paraphrasing just a little bit there.
• 11:42
  But that's the point.
• 11:43
  We keep treating these courts as if they are ruling, as if any law doesn't mean anything until a court gives its blessing.
• 11:51
  As if any action doesn't mean uh but the executive doesn't mean anything until the court gives it its blessing, or at least that the court can simply overrule that the court supersedes the other branches of government, the elected branches of government.
• 12:07
  And ladies and gentlemen, that is a that is a dangerous tyrannical position to be in.
• 12:11
  Because you're telling me nine unelected judges in black robes can overturn the supreme law of the land, the will of the people, the laws that made by their representatives.
• 12:24
  But that's the Stockholm syndrome I'm talking about.
• 12:27
  We've been led to believe that well, the court said so, therefore, we can't do it.
• 12:33
  That's not true.
• 12:34
  In fact, even legally, as I understand, I'm not a lawyer, don't play one on TV.
• 12:38
  But even the decision of a court is only binding on the parties to the case.
• 12:45
  Meaning, if we talk about the uh uh the the this you know campaign finance, it would only be binding on the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is the one that brought the case, and the Federal Elections Commission.
• 13:00
  It would not be binding on anybody else.
• 13:02
  Those are the parties, but it's still it's only a an opinion.
• 13:05
  Read the diet.
• 13:06
  Then the opinion of the court.
• 13:10
  Now, what happens if the American people begin to break this Stockholm syndrome?
• 13:15
  If they begin to recognize that courts are just giving us ideas, they're judgment, they're making judgment calls, they're offering their opinions.
• 13:22
  And opinions are like backsides.
• 13:23
  We all have them, they all stink.
• 13:26
  What happens when we break that Stockholm syndrome?
• 13:29
  And actually realize we're gonna say the Constitution didn't give the courts the authority to overrule the Constitution.
• 13:36
  They did not give them the authority to veto legislation.
• 13:41
  They did not give them authority to repeal legislation.
• 13:45
  They didn't give them the authority to do anything.
• 13:46
  All they can do is look at a case and offer an opinion.
• 13:52
  What happens when that Stockholm syndrome is broken?
• 13:56
  What happens to the land of the free when the people realize you know what?
• 14:01
  We really are free.
• 14:04
  We created these bodies, we established their limits and their boundaries, and well, we're not required to listen to them when they break their own the rules we establish for them.
• 14:16
  Not the rules they made up for themselves.
• 14:18
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 14:20
  The rules we made for them.
• 14:23
  We, the people, when they and uh when they when we establish the Constitution as a supreme law of the land.
• 14:33
  I think I think people would think a lot differently once they break that stock home and get that idea into their head.
• 14:42
  Now I want to get in more to this Marbury versus Madison and and how it deals with the courts, but I have a break to to get into.
• 14:50
  Before I go, though, you know, my wife grew up on a dairy farm.
• 14:54
  Uh uh I I've never lived on a on a on a working farm like that, but I growing, we understand how things grow.
• 15:02
  What I find interesting is more and more studies are finding that a lot of the nutrients our body needs that we used to get from our food has actually been grown out of the soil.
• 15:12
  That the way we farm depletes the the soil of the nutrients we need.
• 15:17
  In fact, some studies say as much as 85% of all the nutrients you need, don't come in your food anymore.
• 15:24
  So, how can you live on only 15% fuel?
• 15:28
  Gee, it sounds like ethanol, right?
• 15:29
  80 E85.
• 15:31
  You got to only get 15% of gasoline.
• 15:33
  But what can you do?
• 15:34
  Now, a lot of people they take supplements, right?
• 15:36
  They take pills and stuff as supplements.
• 15:39
  But our friends at the uh chemical-free body, they have something new.
• 15:45
  It's called green 85.
• 15:48

• 20:15

• 20:25
  Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
• 20:28
  America outmaud news, liberty and justice for all.
• 20:41
  Welcome back, everyday Americans.
• 20:42
  You're going to join the Constitution study today.
• 20:45
  We're talking about America's own version of the Stockholm Syndrome.
• 20:48
  That we've been part brainwashed, part beaten into submission to believe the lie that uh, well, the way things work, including the power of the courts.
• 21:01
  I talked before going to break about Marbury versus Madison.
• 21:04
  And so many of these legal traditions stand on that false interpretation, that false reading of that decision that uh the courts can overrule anything they don't like or anything they think or claim is unconstitutional.
• 21:20
  Take, for example, Donald Trump issued um an executive order known as uh temporary withdrawal of all areas on the outer continental shelf from offshore wind leasing and review of the federal government's leasing and permitting practices for wind projects.
• 21:36
  It's known as the wind memo back, and he did this back on January 20th, one of the first things he did in office.
• 21:42
  And literally, the orders just directed, federal agencies says we're not going to issue new permits, you're not going to renew permits, leases, right-of-ways, any of those things, until the administration looks at how this wind policy is has been implemented.
• 22:01
  Now, 17 states, the District of Columbia, uh, and the Alliance for Clean Energy New York, they sued, right?
• 22:09
  And they said that this order violated the administrative procedures acts.
• 22:13
  Now, before I get into this details, I want you to understand the way this is being presented in the news.
• 22:20
  All right.
• 22:21
  Uh there, this is claimed that uh the judge struck down President Trump's order.
• 22:27
  Uh, another location said that the judge ruled in favor of the state attorneys general, um, both of which are factually incorrect.
• 22:38
  Judges don't rule, especially district judges, and um they she didn't strike down anything.
• 22:44
  What did she do?
• 22:46
  Well, this judge issued a memorandum and order, which states uh for the foregoing reasons, which I haven't gotten into yet, plaintiff's motion for summary judgment are allowed, and the agency defendant motion for subject summary judgment is denied.
• 23:02
  The wind order is declared unlawful and is vacated in its entirety.
• 23:08
  Well, guess what, madam judge?
• 23:10
  You don't have the authority to vacate a law.
• 23:14
  And in fact, you can just you can decide judgments however you wish.
• 23:18
  You do not have the authority to vacate the law.
• 23:23
  Now, as her authority, she claims that well, that uh um that that uh Congress under uh five USC Section 706 gave uh the courts the authority to hold unlawful and set aside agency actions, findings, and conclusions.
• 23:40
  Well, problem number one, this isn't an agency finding.
• 23:46
  All right, she's claiming that the Congress says, listen, if an agency found something did something wrong, the courts can hold it unlawful, uh, if it's in this case arbitrary and capricious.
• 23:57
  But this wasn't the act of an agency.
• 23:59
  This was the act of the president.
• 24:00
  And remember, Marbury versus Madison, the courts don't have the authority to order the president around.
• 24:07
  Second of all, her conclusion that it is uh um unlawful is questionable because if you look at Title 43, Section 1341A, the president of the United States may from time to time withdraw from disposition any of the unleashed lands of the outer continental shelf, meaning that the president can simply say, okay, we're not doing it anymore.
• 24:34
  That's that's exactly what the law says.
• 24:36
  So you have a judge who apparently either can't read the law or had attorneys that couldn't present a reasonable case.
• 24:45
  So her claims that it is unlawful just plain aren't true.
• 24:48
  The claim to vacate an executive order isn't vested with the courts.
• 24:54
  Um, you know, this is uh a judge on overreach.
• 24:59
  This is a judge, and it's not just simply overreaching.
• 25:01
  So you're overreaching the constitution, you're overreaching the laws of the land, you're ignoring the laws of the land.
• 25:07
  And oh, by the way, even your vaunted precedent, starry decisives, Marbury versus Madison, you're violating it because you're claiming to vacate an executive order in order of the president, which you are not authorized under 5 USC 706 item number two.
• 25:26
  Right?
• 25:26
  You can only author uh vacate actions of federal agencies, but these agencies aren't were not the ones that initiate.
• 25:34
  They were following the orders of the president and an executive order, and they said, Well, there's there's really there's no good reason given.
• 25:42
  I'm sorry, read the executive order.
• 25:45
  He said, uh consistent with the principles of responsible public stewardship that are entrusted to this office with due consideration of variety of factors, included the need to foster energy economy, uh energy economy capable of meeting the country's growing demand for reliable energy, the importance of marine life, impacts on ocean currents and wind patterns, effects on energy costs for Americans, especially those who can least afford it, and to ensure the United States is able to maintain a robust fishing industry for future generations and provide low-cost energy to its citizens.
• 26:18
  I hereby direct as follows.
• 26:21
  That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
• 26:22
  He has a reason.
• 26:24
  Is it simple, it's not simply is it arbitrary and capricious?
• 26:28
  I guess it depends on where you stand.
• 26:30
  He says, look at we're looking at several factors.
• 26:34
  Our need for energy, the impact on the ocean, uh, marine life, our fishing industry.
• 26:40
  We want to look at this before we issue more permits.
• 26:44
  But you see, we've got the stock home.
• 26:46
  Well, the good the court vacated it.
• 26:48
  Court has no legal authority to vacate it.
• 26:49
  They might as well be pissing in the wind.
• 26:52
  Because again, as Alexander Hamilton wrote, that court is dependent on the executive branch, the presidency, for the efficacy of their judgments.
• 27:02
  And their judgment is flat out stupid.
• 27:05
  So don't fall for the lie that, well, you know, a judge has vacated the judge doesn't have the legal authority to vacate it.
• 27:11
  Any more than you have the legal authority to walk into somebody else's house, vacate their deed, and take ownership of it.
• 27:19
  Right?
• 27:19
  Doesn't work that way.
• 27:20
  I don't care what court says so, it doesn't work that way.
• 27:24
  But because for generations, ladies and gentlemen, we've been held to the hostage to these false beliefs, these false decisions.
• 27:34
  We actually believe they're true now.
• 27:37
  And almost nobody looks at it, like I said, I look at all the reporting and it says, hey, this judge vacated.
• 27:42
  That's all I've seen.
• 27:43
  I haven't seen one person point out that the judge doesn't have the authority to vacate an executive order.
• 27:49
  They can't.
• 27:51
  They can say all they want about their the the motions for judgment, but the the judge, uh judge doesn't have the authority, not even the Supreme Court has the authority to vacate an executive order.
• 28:03
  Again, it's not just the courts.
• 28:06
  For example, the uh uh Dr.
• 28:08
  Oz, administrator of the Center for Medicaid Medicare and Medicaid Services, is threatening the state of Minnesota to withhold more than a billion dollars of funding because of the fraud found in their program.
• 28:22
  Now, many people like I, including I, I look at this and saying, well, yeah, I mean, if they're gonna, if they're not gonna track their money well, they shouldn't get it.
• 28:29
  But there's a more important point here.
• 28:32
  Um Medicare and Medicaid are embezzlement programs.
• 28:37
  They're criminal entities in and of themselves.
• 28:40
  Why?
• 28:41
  Because the federal government is not authorized to collect taxes to pay for people's health care.
• 28:47
  Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1.
• 28:49
  Congress can only lay and collect taxes to pay the debts, provide for the common defense, and general welfare of the United States, Capital U capital S.
• 28:59
  And in fact, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18, the necessary and proper clause says Congress has the power to make all laws necessary and proper to put into execution the powers vested by the Constitution in the government of the United States.
• 29:13
  Well, taking pair of people's health care is not a power vested in the government of the United States.
• 29:19
  So the law that created Medicare and Medicaid, those laws are unconstitutional and void.
• 29:24
  But again, we still live under this myth and how many trillions of dollars have been embezzled from the American people to fund these illegal agencies.
• 29:36
  Now, you know, uh uh think about it.
• 29:39
  You have a billion dollars of fraud found in Minnesota.
• 29:42
  It's a billion dollars of fraud in a program that should have had no federal funding to begin with.
• 29:48
  And now you have a federal agency threatening to withhold money, they're not legally allowed to give to the state in the first place.
• 29:55
  But we see this as you know, this is the way things are.
• 30:00
  Because we've fallen for the Stockholm Syndrome.
• 30:04
  We act as if the federal government, yeah, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Affordable Care Act, all that.
• 30:10
  They can do whatever the Federal Government can do whatever it wants.
• 30:14
  No, ladies and gentlemen, they're the hostage takers.
• 30:18
  They've taken up, they've come in and said, listen, we're gonna offer you money that we're not legally allowed to, but we're gonna do it anyway.
• 30:23
  They don't tell you that they're not legally allowed to.
• 30:25
  They simply steal money from you.
• 30:28
  Yes, when they take money to do something other than those three things, when Congress collects taxes to do other than those three things, that's theft.
• 30:37
  In fact, read uh uh was it James Madison's debate on the Cod Fisheries bill.
• 30:43
  He pointed out listen, if Congress can determine whatever they think is good for the nation and make and call that the general welfare, they're gonna take over everything.
• 30:53
  And it's happened.
• 30:55
  And we all live under the lie.
• 30:57
  We, you know, this was stolen, this was taken from us, but we live under the lie that, oh no, that's fine because, well, Congress said so.
• 31:05
  So I do I believe that uh CMS should withhold funding from Minnesota until they get their fraud under control.
• 31:13
  Well, personally, I don't think CMS should have had the money to give them in the first place.
• 31:18
  So if they hadn't if it wasn't for the criminal entity known as CMS, well, then there wouldn't have been a billion dollars of federal money for uh Minnesota to lose to fraud.
• 31:31
  Similarly, the Department of Justice is suiting assuming Minneapolis schools for uh what they refer to as discriminatory employment uh uh practices.
• 31:42
  Uh they they're discriminating against uh employee candidates based on an agreement made between the department the between the the Minnesota public schools and a contract they have with the teachers union to give preference to candidates of an underrepresented population.
• 32:02
  Now is that a violation of the 14th Amendment?
• 32:06
  Well, you have a state that is making an agreement that uh denies equal protection under the law.
• 32:14
  Uh, but is it really the U.S.
• 32:16
  Department of Justice's position to be doing this?
• 32:20
  Are they the harmed party?
• 32:24
  See, this is the other thing is everybody sits back and waits for the feds to do something.
• 32:28
  Um tell me, why aren't these uh people getting together and finding a good lawyer and saying, hey, uh we're suing because you don't why aren't the people of Minneapolis suing?
• 32:40
  Why aren't they complaining about this?
• 32:43
  Why is it take an outside entity, the federal government to sue?
• 32:50
  Well, could it be that maybe the people of Minneapolis are racist and they love this racist idea?
• 32:56
  Quite possibly.
• 32:58
  Does it mean because a majority, apparently a majority of Minnesotans or uh um uh or should say people in Minneapolis, um, they're quite happy with this?
• 33:08
  They should get away with it.
• 33:09
  No, rights are aren't superseded by majorities.
• 33:13
  But I have to wonder why it's the Federal Department of Justice.
• 33:17
  Why isn't the uh Minnesota Attorney General doing this?
• 33:21
  Why isn't the district attorney of Minneapolis doing this?
• 33:24
  Why is everyone waiting for the feds to come in and fix this particular problem?
• 33:30
  It's this Stockholm Center that the feds fix everything, that we are not, we don't have free states, we don't have independent states.
• 33:38
  We have a uh an effective aristocracy in Washington, DC that gets to make the rules and has to and handle the enforcement because we can't be responsible for living as free people.
• 33:53
  You know, our national anthem asks if our flag still waves over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
• 33:59
  I question that.
• 34:01
  Because in many cases, the people who are supposed to be free don't live free.
• 34:05
  They don't act like they're free.
• 34:08
  In many cases, because they've been taught, they've been trained, they've been indoctrinated and brainwashed with the idea that oh no, you have to do what the federal government says.
• 34:19
  That's not a free people, ladies and gentlemen.
• 34:22
  That's uh a ruled people.
• 34:25
  We don't, you know, the the reason that the United States is is becoming less and less of the land of the free is because the people are not brave enough to stand up for their rights, and they're not brave enough to clean up their own messes.
• 34:41
  Think of this, like I said, why aren't the the parents in in Minneapolis?
• 34:46
  Why isn't the DA in Minneapolis?
• 34:48
  Why isn't the attorney general of Minnesota?
• 34:51
  Why aren't they dealing with this school problem?
• 34:56
  Because they believe that it's the federal government's job to do that for them, because they're not brave enough to do it themselves.
• 35:03
  Sounds like I'm calling them cowards.
• 35:05
  Yeah, I kind of am.
• 35:07
  And I'm calling the American people cowards because we don't want to deal with these problems ourselves.
• 35:12
  We want someone else to do it for us.
• 35:15
  And in fact, we vote for other people to take care of this for us because we're not brave enough to do it ourselves.
• 35:23
  It's the amazing thing.
• 35:24
  You know, when I started reading and studying the Constitution, I started recognizing my rights and the limitations of the power of government.
• 35:31
  There's amazing change.
• 35:33
  It happened to me, and I believe it would happen to you.
• 35:36
  When you realize that in order to be free, you must live free.
• 35:42
  That means not being dependent on other people when you don't have to.
• 35:46
  It means not bowing down and waiting for government to deal with it because you don't have to.
• 35:52
  That I'm responsible for my own safety.
• 35:54
  I'm responsible for for the people I vote to represent me.
• 35:59
  I'm responsible for those people in government, whether I voted for them or not.
• 36:04
  I'm responsible to hold them accountable.
• 36:06
  I'm responsible to do this.
• 36:08
  I have to be brave enough to stand up.
• 36:12
  There's another incident that appears to be happening in my county.
• 36:15
  I heard about it yesterday.
• 36:16
  I've been doing some research and some study in it because it's my job.
• 36:20
  I have to be brave enough to stand up and point out the corruption.
• 36:25
  Rather than waiting for somebody else to do it.
• 36:27
  That waiting for someone else, expecting government to do for you what you should do for yourself.
• 36:33
  To me, that's American Stockholm syndrome.
• 36:36
  Now I've got a few other examples I want to bring up, a little different point of view of these.
• 36:40
  But before I go, I have to take a break.
• 36:42
  And I wanted to remind you, you know, you have a choice.
• 36:46
  It's good news.
• 36:47
  You get to choose.
• 36:49
  You get to choose who your wireless carrier is.
• 36:53
  You get to choose.
• 36:54
  Do you want to pick a company that supports organizations that uh well are supporting these teachers' unions that want racist employment records?
• 37:03
  Or that they'll want to destroy your freedom of speech or your freedom of press.
• 37:07
  Or do you want a wireless carrier that takes your money and uses it to help protect your rights?
• 37:14
  I joined Patriot Mobile years ago, not because of their 4G and 5G coverage, not because of their U.S.-based customer support, but because they take a portion of every dollar to support organizations that are protecting our rights.

  Welcome back, everyday Americans.
• 41:08
  You've rejoined the Constitution study today.
• 41:11
  We're talking about American Stockholm Syndrome.
• 41:13
  The fact that we have been held hostage by the lies for so long.
• 41:17
  We identify with them, we bond with them, we ask the our oppressors to oppress us some more.
• 41:24
  And we're looking at some examples of that and seeing what we can do.
• 41:28
  Now there was a recent announcement.
• 41:30
  I love the way that you know you'd never trust a headline.
• 41:33
  So I read this headline.
• 41:35
  This is the Epoch Times.
• 41:37
  It says 43 wasteful contracts with 3.5 billion dollar ceiling value terminated.
• 41:43
  And you're like, wow, 3.5 billion dollars.
• 41:47
  Yeah, um, they actually only save the American taxpayer 22 million dollars.
• 41:54
  And of course, hey, a million here, a million there, pretty soon you're talking real money.
• 41:58
  But uh, I want to put some of this in perspective.
• 42:02
  So don't get me wrong.
• 42:03
  Um, finding waste fraud and abuse in our in federal contracts and uh getting rid, that's a good thing.
• 42:11
  But let's remember, we're talking a savings of 22 million dollars out of roughly seven to eight trillion dollars in spending every year.
• 42:20
  Um that's less than a drop in a bucket.
• 42:23
  In fact, it's 0.03% roughly of the spending that the federal government does.
• 42:31
  Now, why is this important?
• 42:33
  Well, I did some research back on the 2023 federal spending.
• 42:37
  Um, I looked at where they spent their money, and roughly three-quarters of the dollars spent by the federal government went to agencies that don't legally exist.
• 42:48
  Because the uh the legislation that created them was not following it, they were not um putting into execution of power vested in the government to the United States.
• 42:58
  It was not exercising any power delegated to the United States, it was therefore unconstitutional and void.
• 43:05
  By the way, those aren't my words.
• 43:07
  Alexander Hambledon, Federal 78.
• 43:10
  Um, no legislative act uh contrary to the Constitution can be valid.
• 43:15
  This was agreed to by this is a and decided by the the Supreme Court in at least three separate cases, as I've already mentioned, Marbury versus Madison.
• 43:24
  You've also got ex parte Seabold and Norton V.
• 43:26
  Shelby County that all said unconstitutional legislation is void.
• 43:31
  It is as if it never existed.
• 43:35
  And if you think about it, out of that seven to eight trillion dollars every year that the federal government spends, if three-quarters of that is spent on stuff they're not legally allowed to, that their money that they're embezzling from the American people, I tell them about five, six trillion dollars a year that the federal government is embezzling for the American people.
• 43:57
  Um what doge did, but it's minuscule.
• 44:05
  The idea that that, well, Congress pass a law so they can spend the money.
• 44:08
  No, Congress can only pass those laws if it's putting into execution uh if it's necessary and proper to put into execution a power vested in the government of the United States by the Constitution of the United States.
• 44:21
  And if that's not the case, then that money is embezzled.
• 44:25
  It is improperly taken and illegally spent.
• 44:30
  I have no problem with doge.
• 44:32
  I have no problem with people finding these fraudulent spending.
• 44:34
  I just wish they would look more to the Constitution.
• 44:38
  I just wish they would broaden it and point out the unconstitutional acts.
• 44:41
  Think of how many trillions of think of how many thousands of dollars every year that are taken from you for taxes for to be spent on things if the federal government's not legally authorized to spend money on.
• 44:53
  But Paul, federal law is the supreme law of the land.
• 44:56
  No, only if it's made pursuant to the Constitution.
• 44:59
  Article 6, Clause 2.
• 45:02
  But we've become so dependent on these federal bribes.
• 45:06
  Look at what Trump is doing now.
• 45:08
  He wants to send 12 billion dollars to far to bribe farmers.
• 45:14
  Get this right.
• 45:15
  So you've got the the um Trump puts in place tariffs, I believe, without proper legal authorization.
• 45:23
  It's a little it's being decided by the courts right now, they're coming to their opinion, the Supreme Court, but I I see no constitutional authority for the president to enact taxes.
• 45:34
  But of course, that hurt people, including farmers.
• 45:38
  So rather than saying, hey, you know what?
• 45:41
  Maybe we should modify what we've done so that it doesn't hurt the farmers.
• 45:44
  No, no, no.
• 45:45
  We're gonna bribe the farmers with the money we collected from these illegal taxes.
• 45:51
  And everybody thinks this is a good idea.
• 45:54
  This is a this is a flat out bribe.
• 45:56
  And it's not the only one, right?
• 45:58
  Remember, we had the government shutdown because Democrats wanted to extend an expiring tax credit for the Affordable Care Act because they said, well, health care is not affordable.
• 46:09
  Well, duh, the Affordable Care Act is the large reason why it's not affordable.
• 46:14
  Why don't you fix the problem rather than bribing the American people with their own money in an attempt to keep the stranglehold you have that's ruined health care economy in this country?
• 46:27
  Yes, ruined.
• 46:30
  You can go and get LASIKs for a few hundred dollars and fix your eyesight because it's not regulated, it's not part of Medicaid Medicare, it's not covered under the Affordable Care Act, but you try to get, oh, I don't know, um, some a form of testing, maybe an MRI.
• 46:48
  Um, it it's it's ridiculously expensive.
• 46:51
  Why?
• 46:52
  Well, it's under the Affordable Care Act.
• 46:53
  Look at how many things the federal government government does that becomes more and more expensive and less and less quality simply because they regulate it.
• 47:02
  The United States spends, I believe, more per child on education than any other nation in the world, but we have some of the lowest test scores among the industrialized nations.
• 47:11
  Why?
• 47:11
  Because it's controlled by government.
• 47:14
  The price of cars have skyrocketed.
• 47:16
  Why?
• 47:17
  Because the government keeps regulating it.
• 47:19
  But you can go out and buy a flash green TV for a couple of hundred bucks.
• 47:24
  Why?
• 47:25
  Because it's not regulated by the federal government.
• 47:28
  And we have this myth that the federal government will make things cheaper.
• 47:31
  No, the federal government makes things more expensive.
• 47:36
  They try to hide it with subsidies.
• 47:40
  Solar panels.
• 47:40
  We got we have to make solar panels more affordable.
• 47:42
  You don't make them more affordable.
• 47:44
  You bribe people to put in solar panels with their own money.
• 47:49
  As Lexis Tokville said, the Republic will stand until Congress realizes it can bribe the public with the public's money.
• 47:58
  They figured it out and have they.
• 48:01
  And we still live under that tyranny, and we've become so dependent on it.
• 48:06
  It's like a stock home.
• 48:08
  We're bound to their tyranny.
• 48:10
  We're bound to their bribery.
• 48:12
  We're bound to their illegal legislation.
• 48:16
  Because we believe that they're on our side.
• 48:21
  We've been bribed into compliance.
• 48:24
  We've been bribed into our own Stockholm syndrome.
• 48:28
  Don't believe me.
• 48:30
  Remember when Obama signed that quote-unquote dear colleague letter, trying to intimidate schools into allowing boys and girls' bathrooms and locker rooms?
• 48:40
  Under the threat of what?
• 48:41
  Take away the bribe.
• 48:44
  You have, again, CMS.
• 48:47
  They want to, they want they're bribing, they threaten Minnesota with taking away the bribe if they don't do what they want.
• 48:56
  They do it with cars, they do it with building codes.
• 48:59
  They're doing it with all of these things.
• 49:01
  And the American people simply go along as if it's right.
• 49:08
  It's a form of Stockholm syndrome.
• 49:11
  It's why we the people need to read and study the Constitution of our country.
• 49:16
  We need to teach the rising generation to be free.
• 49:19
  Why in heaven's name, if you hand a five-year-old over to government, why would you believe that the government is going to teach them to be to live free of government?
• 49:27
  It's irrational, but we do it every day.
• 49:29
  Millions of people do it every day.
• 49:31
  They simply hand their young people over to government and says, you teach them, I can't be bothered.
• 49:36
  I really don't care enough to make sure they're taught to live free.
• 49:39
  I'm much more interested in other things.
• 49:42
  I claim I think it is it's a form of Stockholm syndrome.
• 49:47
  And probably one of the most in-your-face examples is FEMA.
• 49:52
  Nowhere in the Constitution is a federal government authorized to regulate emergency management to fund emergency management.
• 50:00
  Management, it's illegal, it's unconstitutional.
• 50:03
  Yet you have a disaster, natural or man-made, and you have people standing around waiting for the federal government to come save them, to come help them.
• 50:14
  Do you know who shows up to help before the federal government does?
• 50:18
  Churches, neighbors, honest, hardworking Americans.
• 50:23
  They show up.
• 50:24
  But there are still people who wait for government to come fix the problem.
• 50:29
  So think about that.
• 50:30
  Are we being held hostage because of our own ignorance?
• 50:35
  Are we being held hostage to illegal government acts, illegal uh federal laws, illegal actions by courts, illegal actions by by federal agencies, many of which don't legally exist, in large part because of our own ignorance.
• 50:52
  Well, they say, you know, the truth shall set you, you should know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
• 50:57
  It's amazing what happens when you know your rights.
• 51:01
  And that's what we try to do here.
• 51:02
  We want to help help people to read and study the constitution so they know what their rights are, so they can assert their rights legally, so they can defend their rights legally, that they are prepared.
• 51:16
  It doesn't hit them out of the blue.
• 51:18
  They don't, you know, it's not suddenly, you know, what's this saying?
• 51:21
  A proper preparation prevents poor performance.
• 51:24
  You prepare for what may happen.
• 51:27
  So when it does happen, you're ready.
• 51:30
  You know, there's a reason why people train before going into athletics.
• 51:34
  There's a reason why you study before taking a test.
• 51:37
  It's that proper preparation for when you need it.
• 51:42
  Now, have them, you know, you would prefer if it we never needed it, but we don't live in a perfect world.
• 51:48
  And we're dealing with human beings and human beings make mistakes.
• 51:51
  And that's why I keep saying we need to properly prepare.
• 51:55
  That's why John Jay said every member of the state ought diligently to read and study the constitution of this country.
• 52:01
  That's why I call this the Constitution study.
• 52:03
  The idea that we should study the Constitution the way Christians study the Bible.
• 52:09
  That's where the idea came from.
• 52:11
  Driving home from a Bible study, hearing a report about how little most Americans know about the Constitution.
• 52:18
  Why don't we study the Constitution in these small groups like Bible studies?
• 52:23
  Imagine what life would be like if we broke that Stockholm syndrome.
• 52:28
  If we broke that dependence on these illegal government agencies because we realized they're not legal, we don't need them, we can live free.
• 52:38
  I know it's scary, especially at first.
• 52:42
  But that's why the only reason we're going to be the land of the free is if we are the home of the brave.
• 52:49
  People willing and brave enough to stand up and say, no, these are my rights.
• 52:54
  I'm exercising my rights.
• 52:57
  And if you harass me for it, that is the crime.
• 53:01
  That's the interesting thing.
• 53:02
  You know, I get sent a lot of videos of, you know, people's interaction with the police.
• 53:07
  And here's the funny thing, right?
• 53:09
  They never flip the script and saying, wait a second, officer, you're the one committing the crime.
• 53:12
  It almost never happens.
• 53:13
  It does happen occasionally.
• 53:15
  I pointed out when I, you know, back when COVID first hit, I was doing a book fair in a in a town in an account next neighboring county.
• 53:24
  And um the organizer said, but Paul, you know, they the county just passed a mask mandate, and well, we should be okay, but we don't know what the police are going to do.
• 53:33
  I don't care.
• 53:34
  The mask mandate is illegal, and if they try to enforce it, they're the ones committing the crime.
• 53:40
  Do I honestly believe a U.S.
• 53:41
  attorney is going to charge a city police officer for deprivation of rights under color of law?
• 53:46
  Not likely.
• 53:47
  But the look on the organizers' face when I pointed out that that would be a criminal activity by the police was priceless.
• 53:56
  It was this light bulb.
• 53:58
  And of course, she said, well, if the police show up or send in your table, be my guest.
• 54:02
  I was prepared.
• 54:04
  And I was the only one prepared.
• 54:06
  It's one of the reasons why I love when people ask me questions.
• 54:10
  It's that preparation for those situations, asking questions.
• 54:14
  I love them.
• 54:15
  That's why I have a whole section on the website about questions.
• 54:19
  Go to constitution study.com/slash questions, and you'll get a formal where you can ask me a question.
• 54:24
  I do not ask for your name and email address because I'm going to email you a response.
• 54:29
  But if you'd like me to answer it here on the radio, there's a checkbox.
• 54:32
  Please answer on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 54:34
  I'll be happy to do that as well.
• 54:37
  Because these questions, they do a lot of things.
• 54:40
  Obviously, they be they can become fodder for the website for the radio program.
• 54:45
  But I love answering the questions because they also make me think.
• 54:48
  They make me consider.
• 54:49
  What's the situation in this specific scenario?
• 54:53
  What are the arguments for and against?
• 54:55
  It makes me engage.
• 54:57
  It's why I love them so much.
• 54:59
  I know a lot of people fear questions.
• 55:01
  I don't fear answers.
• 55:03
  I fear running out of questions.
• 55:05
  I love them.
• 55:06
  So again, please head to Constitution Study.com slash questions and ask me a question.
• 55:11
  I've run out of you.
• 55:12
  People have asked questions for the web for the radio program.
• 55:15
  They stopped asking.
• 55:16
  Please, I love them.
• 55:18
  You may think, well, it's a stupid question, Paul.
• 55:20
  Well, I think there are really only two stupid questions in the world.
• 55:23
  The one you don't ask and the one you ask three times.
• 55:26
  If you don't know, please ask.
• 55:28
  There's probably other people that also would like to ask, but they're afraid.
• 55:32
  If you ask, I ask that you listen.
• 55:34
  You learn from what you know, you may not agree with the answer I give, but well, that's the answer.
• 55:39
  You ask the question, that's the answer.
• 55:41
  Listen to it.
• 55:41
  That's what I ask.
• 55:43
  I do ask that the question, at least have some relationship to what we're talking about here.
• 55:49
  That could be as simple as hey, have you heard this story?
• 55:52
  Or have you are you aware of this person that you know you may want to talk about?
• 55:56
  I'm happy with those.
• 55:58
  I got uh introduced to a another issue in our in our county that that seems to be brewing that I've started looking at.
• 56:07
  Those questions are perfectly valid too.
• 56:10
  But we have to ask questions.
• 56:11
  That's how we I think we break the Stockholm syndrome.
• 56:15
  You ask questions, you listen to the answers, then you ask yourself, hey, am I brave enough to live as a free person?
• 56:25
  Now, hopefully, living free includes coming back here for the Constitution study on America Loud Talk Radio, heard on the iHeartRadio Network every weekday, 4 p.m.
