  Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
• 0:15
  This is the Constitution study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:31
  As I frequently point out, we all have priorities.
• 0:34
  Things that we place before others.
• 0:37
  If we look at how people react, we can often infer their priorities, which can help us determine who we should vote for.
• 0:44
  Hello there, everyday Americans.
• 0:46
  Paul England here with the Constitution study where we read and study the Constitution, teacherizing generation be free.
• 0:51
  I'm glad you could join me today.
• 0:53
  This idea of priorities is important because it's a fundamental understanding of liberty, is that my priorities are going to be different from your priorities.
• 1:02
  And liberty means you get to live by your priorities as long as you don't interfere with my right to live by my priorities, and vice versa.
• 1:11
  This is it's the basic fundamental understanding.
• 1:14
  The basis of the rule of law is that the laws should be there to protect our rights.
• 1:20
  That's what the declaration says.
• 1:21
  We we create governments to secure our rights.
• 1:25
  That's the basic fundamental issue.
• 1:26
  So when we see how people act, um, we can get a general idea of their priorities, which I believe offers us insight as to whether or not they're worthy to hold office or to be listened to or to persuade.
• 1:42
  I'm going to start with this uh recent lawsuit under AIPA, right?
• 1:46
  Where the Supreme Court said that Donald Trump um violated the law when he implemented the tariffs under AIPA because that legislation, that uh law did not give him the statutory authority to impose tariffs.
• 2:01
  That was the decision of the court.
• 2:03
  Didn't say he couldn't do it in other others, but it said that he could.
• 2:06
  And one of the things I pointed out when I discussed that earlier this week was the question of okay, what about a redress of grievance?
• 2:14
  What's gonna happen uh with the money that was illegally collected?
• 2:19
  And I said some people will probably have to sue to get a refund.
• 2:22
  Well, FedEx has sued.
• 2:25
  They have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, demanding a full refund of any of the tariffs they paid under uh AIPA.
• 2:35
  Now, the uh the complaint was filed under the U.S.
• 2:39
  Court of International Trade, which I understand is an Article III court, meaning it's a court Congress created under the Article III uh to deal with similar types of international trade disputes.
• 2:51
  This is also, by the way, the first major lawsuit seeking this uh reimbursement of tariffs.
• 2:59
  Now, the Supreme Court decision said nothing about how to deal with the previously collected tariffs.
• 3:05
  They said nothing about the refunds, they merely said that the Trump administration, President Trump specifically, did not have the statutory authority to um uh to enact these uh these tariffs.
• 3:19
  So Federal Express FedEx is requesting um that the court force uh customs and border protection to refund all the duties they paid last year under AIPA.
• 3:32
  And according to a quarterly earnings coral core, FedEx executive said uh they expected a one billion dollar hit to their profits because of the tariff policies.
• 3:42
  Now, not all those, I believe, are the actual tariffs they paid.
• 3:44
  I haven't seen a number that says how much it actually was.
• 3:48
  No, FedEx is not the only company that has sued.
• 3:51
  They're simply the first.
• 3:53
  Um, the there were expected so it's from Costco, Revlon, you know, even Bumblebee Foods.
• 3:59
  And again, it's gonna be interesting.
• 4:03
  Uh, it's I want to see how this court looks at this.
• 4:05
  I want to see how this court decides.
• 4:08
  And uh, but again, this comes down to a question to me of priorities.
• 4:13
  The priority of, well, wait a second, this was used for foreign policy to establish foreign policy.
• 4:20
  Does that supersede the rule of law?
• 4:22
  Uh, Alan Dershowitz said that uh the Trump administration's lawyer should have used a foreign policy.
• 4:28
  These were not economic gains, these are foreign policy issues, claiming that that would suddenly make them Article II powers, which is blatantly false.
• 4:36
  Nothing in Article II gives the president the power of foreign policy.
• 4:40
  But again, we're seeing what are the priorities.
• 4:42
  Now, for FedEx, the priority is money.
• 4:45
  If someone takes a significant amount of money from you illegally, you want your money back.
• 4:50
  I have no problem with FedEx filing this lawsuit.
• 4:54
  What I'm waiting for is how the this international uh court of international trade is going to look at that claim, how they're going to analyze that claim, and that will give us some ideas of what the court's priorities are when it comes to dealing with this redress of a grievance.
• 5:11
  Now, this next story is actually a little more complicated.
• 5:14
  It involves the U.S.
• 5:15
  Postal Service.
• 5:16
  Um, the Supreme Court recently decided uh in a 5-4 decision that Americans cannot sue the Postal Service when its employees intentionally fail to deliver mail.
• 5:28
  Uh the majority was opinion was written by Justice Thomas and involves a woman by the name of Labine Conan.
• 5:37
  Uh, she claims that this was a racially motivated action.
• 5:42
  Uh she claimed she's a respected black realtor, insurance agent, and landlady, and that in 2020, postal employees began a long, a year's long campaign of racial harassment against her.
• 5:55
  She claims that the U.S.
• 5:56
  Postal Service failed to deliver mail to her or her tenant because its employees allegedly did not like the idea of a black person, own the property and lease rooms to white people.
• 6:07
  That's a lot of claims, and I haven't looked at the the case to see what evidence she has to support that.
• 6:15
  I do know that withholding mail violates federal law, and uh she claims that in this case it drove away tenants.
• 6:23
  I mean, imagine you you, you know, if you're gonna rent a place and this place has a a reputation for having you know bad mail service, you may want to go somewhere else.
• 6:32
  I mean, I I know you know when I don't get mail, I get worried because there are bills that got to be paid and all even in the modern digital age.
• 6:40
  So uh Ms.
• 6:41
  Conan filed suit under two of the equal protection statutes under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
• 6:47
  Um, and it because this comes into the question of sovereign immunity.
• 6:52
  In fact, uh Justice Thomas wrote the United States retains sovereign immunity for claims arising out of the intentional non-delivery of mail, but because both miscarriage and loss of mail under FTCA postal exception can occur as a result of the Postal Service's intentional failure to deliver mail.
• 7:09
  Now, all right, here's problem number one.
• 7:11
  The United States does not have sovereign immunity.
• 7:14
  I know the courts like to say that, but in the United States, the federal government is not sovereign.
• 7:19
  The people are sovereign.
• 7:21
  We created the states, the states created the federal government, the United States is not sovereign.
• 7:25
  This is a myth created by courts in order to allow governments to run rampant.
• 7:30
  Second of all, the U.S.
• 7:31
  Postal Service is no longer a whole part of the federal government.
• 7:36
  It is a federally created corporation, meaning it's a separate entity.
• 7:40
  It does not inherit this alleged sovereign immunity because it is not sovereign.
• 7:46
  So what you have is the courts once again protecting the federal government from its own criminal activities, because apparently to Justice Thomas, the priority of the government can do no wrong, which is the definition of a pretty much the exception of a sovereign.
• 8:02
  Sovereign immunity comes from the concept that the sovereign, whatever the sovereign does is legal.
• 8:08
  Even when it's criminal, it's legal.
• 8:10
  This shows it's one of the reasons why I keep pointing to the justices saying these are nine people that need a basic reading comprehension class because they can't read the constitution.
• 8:21
  But look at it a step farther.
• 8:22
  You have alleged criminal activities by employees of the U.S.
• 8:27
  Postal Service.
• 8:28
  But the priority to the Supreme Court, to at least a majority of the Supreme Court is not, okay, there's been a crime committed, a crime alleged, I should say, alleged, against the uh um uh against a citizen of the United States, or at least a resident.
• 8:46
  And we're not gonna allow that to go forward because well, we need to protect the federal government.
• 8:52
  This is the level of corruption, I believe, in the priorities of the court.
• 8:58
  See, the court is supposed to uphold the constitution, and the constitution says we have the states created the federal government, they didn't delegate to them sovereignty.
• 9:06
  There's nothing in the constitution that says the the federal government is sovereign, that it can do what it wants, even the powers uh allocated to it, delegated to it, are limited by that document.
• 9:18
  That document, which the preamble says was ordained and established by the people of the United States through our states.
• 9:27
  Now, I also want to remind people that under Article 3, justices of both the Supreme and Inferior Courts only hold office during good behavior.
• 9:35
  Since Mr.
• 9:36
  Thomas took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, which does not delegate sovereignty to the United States, this decision is directly in violation of his oath of office.
• 9:48
  Now, the decision is not, but that violation of the oath of office to me, that's bad behavior and should be justification for impeachment.
• 9:55
  Impeached Justice Thomas, this is not the only example.
• 9:59
  Again,
• 10:00
  I don't know if there are other parts to the um to the case.
• 10:05
  They never got that far.
• 10:06
  And it's never gonna get that far.
• 10:08
  Because Justice Thomas, along with four other members of the court, said that this case cannot even come to trial.
• 10:14
  Ms.
• 10:14
  Conan cannot even seek a redress of grievance because the federal government is all powerful.
• 10:20
  And since the federal government spun off the U.S.
• 10:23
  polls, you see, used to be the postal department.
• 10:26
  It used to actually be part of the federal government.
• 10:28
  It is not anymore.
• 10:29
  It's a separate corporation created by the federal government.
• 10:32
  It's a federal corporation completely different.
• 10:35
  He just ignores that.
• 10:37
  What does that say about the priorities of Mr.
• 10:39
  Thomas?
• 10:40
  Again, I agree with Mr.
• 10:41
  Thomas on a lot of things he does, but I'm sorry.
• 10:44
  This is an abject failure.
• 10:46
  And the other justices went along with them.
• 10:49
  Also an abject failure.
• 10:51
  Chief Justice Roberts, Justices Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.
• 10:56
  Um, they all failed.
• 10:59
  They failed their oath of office.
• 11:01
  They failed to follow the law.
• 11:03
  They made up or they they followed a previous court that made up this nonsense of sovereign immunity because the federal government isn't sovereign.
• 11:11
  The United States isn't sovereign.
• 11:12
  It is a subject of the states.
• 11:16
  But you see, that's not taught in law school.
• 11:18
  The Constitution's not taught in law school.
• 11:21
  And that was asked the question of maybe our priorities for who we should support for president should include justices that actually will follow, have a history of following the Constitution, fulfilling their oath, especially when it's a difficult decision.
• 11:38
  That to me is the priorities we should be looking for.
• 11:41
  And it's those priorities again that help us determine um, well, what policies we'll support, who we're gonna vote for, and even how we treat other people.
• 11:53
  See, our priorities are so often readily available on display.
• 11:59
  Not by what we say, ladies and gentlemen, by what we do.
• 12:03
  And when you're talking about public figures, I think we should pay attention to the priorities they exhibit, because the priorities they exhibit are the ones they're most likely going to support when they're in office.
• 12:16
  Right?
• 12:16
  The best way to tell how someone's going to act in office is to see how they act outside of office.
• 12:22
  If their priorities are uh, you know, supporting donors or doing anything to get re-elected, well, you can't be surprised when they do that in office.
• 12:31
  When their priorities are fulfilling their oath to support the constitution, even if it's painful, even if it's costly, even if it means going against the grain, that should tell them how you're gonna act, they're more likely to act in office.
• 12:45
  Now, your priorities, how you do them, those are yours.
• 12:50
  I recommend looking at how people fulfill their oath and making that the priority.
• 12:56
  I can't force you to.
• 12:58
  That's my recommendation.
• 13:00
  And I hope, as I show in this program, it is a valid and worthy way of determining who to vote for, of judging the qualifications of those seeking office.
• 13:10
  I think my track record uh of supporting policies, I think that holds out holds up over time.
• 13:19
  And uh if you disagree with me, well, that's your right.
• 13:23
  And I don't even mind you advocating for that.
• 13:26
  I think I do I think if we're doing if we're advocating based on facts and data, I think the best facts will win, and the best outcome will be found.
• 13:38
  But we have to recognize that everybody has a set of priorities, and we shouldn't be surprised when they act in accordance with the priorities they've already demonstrated.
• 13:49
  For example, one of my priorities is taking care of my family.
• 13:54
  I've worked hard and made money so I can provide for my family, even when times get tough.
• 14:01
  Uh, I've trained and prepared to defend my home and my family.
• 14:05
  I've even trained and prepared for more routine issues like having a fire extinguisher into the house or or first aid and trauma kits.
• 14:14
  That is my priority.
• 14:16
  What about yours?
• 14:18
  Are you prepared for when the bad stuff happens?
• 14:22
  So you get proper preparation prevents poor performance.
• 14:25
  That's a priority of mine.
• 14:26
  And yes, that's a lot of peas.
• 14:28
  But if that's true, then are you prepared for emergencies?
• 14:32
  For example, when uh when COVID hit, how many people heard stories about uh, well, you can't get the drugs you need because supply chain or because you know some bureaucrats said, no, no, no, that's not the this Nobel Prize winning drug is this has been used for centuries or decades, I should say, in for in humans.
• 14:52
  We can't trust it because, well, politics in my opinion.
• 14:56
  So proper preparation prevents poor performance.
• 14:58
  Let's start by being prepared for the emergency before it comes.
• 15:03
  Our friends at the wellness company have put together a set of emergency kits.
• 15:07
  Find them at America Outloud.shop and look up the emergency kit panels.
• 15:11
  They've got kits for everything, basic first aid, medical emergencies, travel emergencies, even children and pets.
• 15:19
  The important thing is these are not the kids you get at the pharmacy.
• 15:24
  These have prescription level drugs.
• 15:27
  They've got the medical supplies that you really need, and they come with a guide book to help you understand what you have and how to use them.
• 15:34
  And trust me, the best day of your life is the day you realize you had it, but never needed it.
• 15:40
  And one of the worst days of your life will be the day you need it and never had it.
• 15:45
  So again, go to AmericaOut Loud.shop, look up the emergency kit panels, find the kit that works best for you.
• 15:51
  Uh, you will be interviewed by uh uh a physician to make sure you get the prescriptions that are right for you.
• 15:57
  And when you check out, use the code out loud, and you'll get 20% off of your order.
• 16:02
  Not a bad deal.
• 16:04
  But again, it starts by going to America Outloud.shop and looking at the uh the emergency kits.
• 16:11
  What's your priority?
• 16:13
  What are the issues that are your concerned about?
• 16:15
  Be prepared for that.
• 16:16
  And again, get the kits that make sense for you, and when you check out, use that code out loud in order to get 20% off of your order.
• 16:25
  Because then if your priority is protecting yourself and your family, putting them first is to me a good priority, especially for us men.
• 16:35
  And when we're prepared, when when bad stuff happens and you're prepared to step in and help, that ladies and gentlemen, I think is a priority that not only everybody should be able to get behind, but it's one that we should promote for well, for just being the best people we can be.
• 16:53
  And if your priority is protecting, well, your rights and those are your family, and you're not quite sure what where to go next, please go to constitutionstudy.com/slash wizard.

• 20:41
  Welcome back, everyday American to rejoin the Constitution study.
• 20:44
  Today we're talking about priorities.
• 20:47
  Now, when we think of priorities, I think we often think of positive, right?
• 20:52
  You know, I my family is more important than myself.
• 20:56
  My my family is more important than the farm.
• 20:59
  My farm's more important than the county.
• 21:02
  This is these are the priorities.
• 21:03
  But sometimes our priorities are how we distinguish negatives as well.
• 21:09
  For example, the punishment for stealing uh um uh you know $10 from the gas station is not nearly as severe as stealing a car.
• 21:19
  The punishment for beating up somebody in public is not the same as the one for taking their life.
• 21:26
  These priorities are important.
• 21:29
  I think they distinguish what we find most valuable.
• 21:34
  What is the the value placed on the injury, the punishment that goes with it?
• 21:40
  Now I bring that up because there's a couple interesting things happening out of guess where Minnesota.
• 21:46
  Uh the Minnesota with the Democratic Farmer Farmer Labor Party has introduced a new law.
• 21:53
  Uh, again, trying to prohibit the uh possession, the owning of the most popular rifle in America, the AR-15.
• 22:03
  And I want to look at the priorities.
• 22:06
  So in the Minnesota legislature, they actually consider the holding an AR-15 with a standard capacity magazine, by the way, is a felony worth five years in jail.
• 22:20
  Why is that important?
• 22:23
  Well, fifth degree rape is punished by two years in jail.
• 22:29
  This is defined, again, non-consensual penetration is worth two years in jail.
• 22:34
  You're saying that the crime of owning a weapon, again, not only the most popular a weapon used many times for the defense of innocent people is more dangerous, is more evil than the crime of rape.
• 22:53
  It's more it's worse than than uh was it the fifth degree assault, which is 90 days in jail.
• 23:00
  It's a misdemeanor.
• 23:01
  The first offense of domestic assault, 90 days in jail, misdemeanor, false imprisonment, one year in jail, a gross misdemeanor, interference with a 911 call, a one year in jail, gross misdemeanor.
• 23:24
  That says to me, it appears that the to the legislators of Minnesota, the ability to defend oneself with a significantly useful weapon to them is more evil, more criminal than even that not just false, not just assault, not just domestic abuse or false imprisonment, but a rape.
• 23:47
  What does that say about the priorities of the legislators of Minneapolis?
• 23:52
  And what does that say about the priorities of the people that put them there?
• 23:57
  Is that really how you view things?
• 24:02
  That if your your neighbor were to let's say expose himself and gratify himself in front of a in front of your child, that's bad.
• 24:14
  But if they own an AR, not use it criminally, just own an AR-15.
• 24:19
  That's two and a half times worse.
• 24:22
  Really?
• 24:25
  If your husband or wife or boyfriend, girlfriend, if they uh assault you, that's bad.
• 24:33
  But simply owning a firearm, that's five times worse.
• 24:38
  That's a felony.
• 24:41
  Tells me a lot about the priorities.
• 24:43
  And the priorities seem to be the last thing the Minnesota P uh legislator wants is the people to be able to defend themselves.
• 24:53
  They consider owning an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle.
• 24:57
  I know they like to call it an assault weapon, another made-up term.
• 25:01
  They look at that and say, oh, that's worse than that's worse than rape and assault and all of these other things.
• 25:08
  And again, if you live in Minnesota, well, these are the people you've hired to represent you, which means does that how you feel?
• 25:17
  Because that's what they are doing.
• 25:21
  And that's not all.
• 25:23
  Uh, this one, uh well, I want to say I couldn't believe it, but I I'm really I'm I think I'm getting so jaded by the crazy that uh I believe just about anything that happens in Minnesota right now.
• 25:36
  You see, there's a a uh state representative in Minnesota, a uh Leah uh Leah Fink that thinks keeping porn out of the hand of children is bad.
• 25:50
  In fact, she she went so far as to say that watching child pornography can be educational.
• 25:58
  Mentioned the Paxton case.
• 26:00
  Um, and and the AGs in many states are very clear about they're almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer.
• 26:18
  Now, I don't disagree, it could be educational, but being educational doesn't necessarily mean it's good.
• 26:24
  I mean, you can just as easily educate someone into doing something bad.
• 26:28
  They talk about the prison system being basically, you know, graduate school for criminals.
• 26:33
  People who go into the system can often learn about becoming a better criminal.
• 26:37
  I don't think that's the goal.
• 26:39
  So, yes, it does educate, it educates people into perversion.
• 26:44
  It often educates people into degrading uh women.
• 26:48
  Speaking of degrading women, this is a dude pretending to be a woman, a woman.
• 26:52
  So the idea that we should not protect our children from something potentially dangerous to them, especially to their young psyches, because in this dude's opinion, well, some queer kid could figure out something educational from this monstrosity.
• 27:13
  Now, I do have issues with how some of these age verification laws have been been put together, because they make claims they they patently cannot fulfill.
• 27:23
  They seem more about show than actual go.
• 27:27
  But the idea of protecting our children, and by the way, that primarily should fall on the parents.
• 27:33
  They should get help from government.
• 27:35
  They should fall on parents to say, oh no, you should let your child be exposed to pornography as education, which means should it be in the schools?
• 27:45
  If it's going to be in the schools, well, you're saying it's only educational for queer.
• 27:51
  Well, well, then how are you defining that?
• 27:54
  Are the parents going to come in and say my child is queer?
• 27:56
  So therefore you can get access to the pornography.
• 28:01
  You see how twisted this is.
• 28:14
  One is sexual perversion, two is a denial of reality.
• 28:20
  I can say, I guess, but again, you've got a dude pretending to be a chick.
• 28:24
  You've got a man pretend to be a woman that's promoting the use of pornography in children as an educational tool.
• 28:34
  That tells me an awful lot.
• 28:36
  Not just about the that person, but it tells me a lot collectively of the people that voted for him to represent them.
• 28:45
  And let me tell you one of the priorities that have not been expressed in this, and that is the safety of children.
• 28:52
  The protection of childhood itself.
• 28:55
  The idea that children should be exposed to these sexual topics before their bodies, much less their minds are even ready for this.
• 29:03
  Tells me an awful lot about the priorities of people who promote this.
• 29:08
  On the flip side, I saw this very interesting uh report.
• 29:12
  This one came out of the crime research center.
• 29:15
  Um, where I get a lot of information.
• 29:17
  It's it's it's generally very interesting, but we're gonna look at the priorities here.
• 29:21
  So the uh the the title of this particular report is Transgender Shooters Commit Disproportionate Share of Mass Public and Active Shooting Attacks in 2024, at least 12 times their share of the population.
• 29:35
  Of course, that's a very evocative.
• 29:37
  Oh my god, we've got to see what's going on here.
• 29:40
  So um let's take a look at the data.
• 29:44
  So this is using FBI data, and we have to remember transgenders is such a small percentage of the population that extremely small activities will show dramatic percentage increase.
• 29:58
  It's one of the things about the statistics.
• 30:00
  Right?
• 30:01
  You got lies, darn lies, and statistics.
• 30:04
  So there's a reason why you focus on the percentage, because in this case it can have a uh showing our and the look at the data, and the basic tenet is true.
• 30:14
  In 2024, according to FBI data, um 16.37% of shooting attacks were committed by transgenders, people who claim to be the other sex.
• 30:29
  And that is a large considering they are less than 1% of the population.
• 30:34
  That's that's quite a number.
• 30:37
  But here's what's interesting.
• 30:39
  That number is an outlier.
• 30:43
  You look at 2022 and 23.
• 30:45
  There's 2.73 and 2.84% of these attacks.
• 30:51
  You go back to um uh you know, 2018, 2019.
• 30:55
  That's roughly four and a half percent.
• 30:57
  Oh, why did I why did I skip over 2020 and 21?
• 31:00
  Yeah, because there were none.
• 31:03
  So on the one hand, I look at it and say, all right, the agenda, the priority of the crime research center.
• 31:11
  So look at this number and say, hey, maybe there's a problem with transgender.
• 31:16
  That that appears quite obvious.
• 31:18
  The fact that focusing on transgender.
• 31:20
  Rather than focusing on why 2024, why are they focusing on this?
• 31:27
  Well, a PolitFac uh report claims that there's no evidence of rising LGBTQ plus violent extremism or transterrorism.
• 31:37
  In other words, the crime research center was directly refuting a report from Politic Fact, which I've already understand.
• 31:46
  They're not generally fact-based.
• 31:49
  Now, that being said, in the last what, uh seven years, the number of uh the previous seven years, between 2018 and 2024, the percentage of um uh of shootings by transgender is higher.
• 32:06
  It is statistically higher.
• 32:08
  If we leave out 2024, which is an outlier, you still have a statistically significant percentage of the population more than the general population.
• 32:19
  But again, because it's such a small population, one incident has a much greater impact than uh, you know, a uh another uh the the rest of the population.
• 32:31
  But it also brought something else to my attention as I'm looking at this because you know, me and numbers, I love numbers.
• 32:37
  So if the percentage of the population that is transgender is one percent or less over all these years, uh 1.01 was the highest percentage.
• 32:50
  Um, in fact, interesting, 2024 is the lowest 0.89% of the population.
• 32:55
  Then why do they get so much attention?
• 32:59
  I understand protecting the rights of my Aries, but this is an unbelievable focus on this, which makes me wonder.
• 33:08
  Is this so much in view?
• 33:10
  Is PolitiFact promoting this idea because they have their own agenda they're promoting?
• 33:15
  Well, I'm pretty sure that's the case.
• 33:17
  But again, I find it really interesting that people would be surprised that people who have demonstrated a mental issue, a mental disturbance, would be would not be more likely to commit uh violence based on that.
• 33:36
  I mean, you look at most of the active shooters they call them, most of these mass public shootings, and they are people who have mental disorders.
• 33:44
  They're either obsessed with somebody or they're they feel uh persecuted by somebody, they have a mental disorder that is disrupting the reality that leads them to this level of violence.
• 33:57
  Well, since again, transgenderism is a mental disorder, the unability to recognize biology.
• 34:05
  I'm really not surprised that they would be higher than the uh the population because they've already demonstrated a mental disorder, which is often involved in uh mass public shootings and active shooter incidents.
• 34:19
  So to me, this kind of makes sense.
• 34:23
  Now, again, you look at the numbers and say, well, they're you know, they're two to five percent of the of the shootings.
• 34:28
  Yeah.
• 34:29
  But again, uh it's it's understandable.lies, darn lies and statistics.
• 34:34
  It's looking at them and trying to understand the priorities of the people behind the data so you can properly analyze the data.
• 34:42
  And I would say that this report tells me that uh PolitiFact has an agenda to protect this minority of the population, and uh the crime research center has an agenda of well, I would say not just opening fact, but finding the the sensational fact in the data behind these shootings.
• 35:06
  Now, I have some more things I want to take a look at, but I I have a break coming up.
• 35:10
  But before I go, though, I want to remind you that um you do have a choice.

  Now is our time, my fellow members.
• 40:00
  America out Mao Dunk News, liberty and justice for all.
• 40:12
  Welcome back, everyday Americans.
• 40:14
  You rejoin the Constitution study.
• 40:16
  And today we're talking about priorities.
• 40:18
  And what we can learn when we examine, when we determine a person's priorities by what they do, what they say, what they support, what they're willing to fight for, and what they're willing to put above other things.
• 40:32
  For example, uh Representative Elon Omar.
• 40:34
  Now, she's demonstrated quite a few priorities over the years, including uh, well, her general hatred for uh law enforcement.
• 40:45
  What I will say is that there is a an easier conversation happening today than um, you know, six, seven years ago when I got to Congress about what we need to do with ice, which is to abolish it.
• 41:03
  And there is a lot of conversation about what the dismantlements of the Department of Homeland Security should look like.
• 41:16
  Okay, so she obviously does not apparently want to enforce our immigration and customs laws, and uh she wants to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.
• 41:26
  Now, what's interesting is do you realize what departments are part of the Department of Homeland Security?
• 41:33
  That includes the the TSA, um, the Coast Guard.
• 41:38
  Uh, believe that includes FEMA.
• 41:41
  In other words, she basically wants to dismantle all these different agencies.
• 41:47
  Her priority seems to be dismantling everything that protects our physical safety.
• 41:54
  Now, I believe she was also among those that were pushing for to defund the police when, well, people lied about what happened to George Floyd and others and use it as a political tool.
• 42:07
  So I am wonder is her priority actually to dismantle the United States, which is quite possible.
• 42:13
  I mean, she has exposed some serious Marxist tendencies, or is this simply a political move?
• 42:21
  As a Democrat, she hates everything that protects the United States, as Trump would put it, everything that makes America great.
• 42:27
  So anything that might protect the American people or the American homeland, she seems to be opposed to.
• 42:33
  Now, she is a free citizen, she has every right to her opinion.
• 42:37
  I'm not disagreeing with that.
• 42:39
  In fact, I love the fact that she keeps telling us just exactly how unamerican she is.
• 42:45
  I don't mean because of the scarf she wears or the accent she has, but because of her utter disregard for the laws of the United States, including frequently the Constitution of the United States.
• 42:57
  Now, on the other side, we have Donald Trump.
• 43:00
  See, Donald Trump recently signed an executive order declaring that uh uh glyphosate, um, a somewhat controversial chemical used in herbicides is now a critical component of national security.
• 43:16
  Now, again, let's back up for a little bit.
• 43:17
  Glyphosate, if you've heard of the issues with um the weed killer roundup, the fact that it's current manufacturer bear is being sued left, right, and center for the harm that comes from eating stuff that is covered with the with with roundup with glyphosate.
• 43:36
  Um, it's like I said, it's been very controversial over the years.
• 43:40
  So Donald Trump signed this, which to me brings up two questions of priority.
• 43:45
  So, okay, yes, I understand um the ability to have food is certainly a part of natural security, right?
• 43:54
  If we go to war and we don't have access to food, the American people die, and well, the war doesn't really matter anymore.
• 44:02
  But what if the glyphosate is um being used is causing irreparable damage to the American people?
• 44:12
  If the food is killing you, well, what type of priority does that have?
• 44:17
  Now, just before the president signed this executive order, Bear announced that Monsanto proposed a seven and a quarter billion dollar settlement to the clash class action suit against Monsanto and Bear for the damage done by Roundup, which the uh critical component is glyphosate.
• 44:40
  Now, what you eat, that's up to you.
• 44:43
  Whether you're concerned about glyphosate or not is up to you, whether you're concerned about foods grown with glyphosate or not, is up to you.
• 44:51
  But I look at this and I have to ask the question um, what are the priorities here?
• 44:58
  The priorities have something to stuff in people's mouths, would be obvious, right?
• 45:02
  When it comes to food, something is better than nothing.
• 45:07
  But we also have a question of, well, what if it's that something is toxic or harmful, right?
• 45:13
  Let's not say it's harmful.
• 45:16
  Well, okay, more than one thing can be true at the same time.
• 45:21
  In other words, in a in a time of war, in time of national security, eating bread grown with wheat made with glyphosate to uh as part of the herbicides.
• 45:31
  Well, you'd really would you have rather have that, or would you rather have nothing?
• 45:36
  Obviously, in that situation, uh, I'm sure most people would rather have food with glyphosate than no food at all.
• 45:42
  On the other hand, in times of peace, you may want to skip the glyphosate food and find you know, wheat that's uh that's not been treated that way, and use that, get bread based on that.
• 45:56
  It's a priority decision.
• 45:59
  And these are the types of things I want us to consider, right?
• 46:01
  It's not that what the same answer is true for everybody.
• 46:05
  It's understanding our need to prioritize certain things.
• 46:10
  And too often, I think we don't think about these things ahead of time.
• 46:13
  They kind of catch us by surprise.
• 46:15
  It reminds me of a story I heard.
• 46:17
  I heard this years ago, and I loved it.
• 46:19
  It was a it was a college professor, and he's got a whole theater full of students, and he walks in with a big glass manage jar, five-gallon jar.
• 46:28
  And out from under the podium, he pulls a bucket full of rocks, big old rocks, and you start stuffing the rocks in there and getting them to the the uh the jars full of rocks.
• 46:40
  And he asks the class, is it full?
• 46:43
  And the class generally says yes.
• 46:46
  He pulls out another bucket, this one was smaller rocks, and he pours them in and he jiggles a jar so that they settle down and in between the the bigger acts.
• 46:55
  Is it full?
• 46:56
  Now the class kind of little more hesitant goes, uh yes.
• 47:00
  He pulls out a bucket full of sand and he pours sand in and he jiggles it down until the sand fills all the gas of between the small rocks, and he asks again, is it full?
• 47:11
  Now the class is not sure.
• 47:13
  They kind of go, yes.
• 47:16
  And he pulls out a bucket of water and he pours water into the into the jar until the water's to the top.
• 47:24
  And he said, the jar is your life.
• 47:29
  The big rocks are the important things to you, the important aspects of your life.
• 47:33
  Well, we would call the high priority items.
• 47:37
  The smaller rocks are the lower priority items.
• 47:40
  The sand is the desirable items, the water is the whatever's left over.
• 47:47
  And he said, if you don't take the time to put the big rocks in, if you let the jar fill up with sand and water before you put the big rocks in, there's no room for the big rocks.
• 48:00
  If we let our lives fill up with whatever's going on today, and we don't put our priorities in first, there's no room for them.
• 48:10
  Now, for some of them, that may be food without glyphosate.
• 48:13
  For some of them, that may be law enforcement.
• 48:17
  For some of you, that might be who knows what.
• 48:20
  The point is, if we don't pay attention to the priorities of life, how are we supposed to play understand the priorities of our representatives?
• 48:30
  If we are going to vote for somebody, how do we know what their priorities are?
• 48:35
  And how does that influence our decision, whether or not to vote for them, or how to advise them of what we consider important?
• 48:46
  Because to quote, uh was it uh Santa, those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
• 48:54
  As a perfect example, do you remember all the problems with the MRNA COVID vaccines?
• 49:00
  The guy that developed the MRNA vaccine technology said it's not it shouldn't be used in humans.
• 49:07
  The one who said they said that the these fake vaccines are dangerous.
• 49:14
  Well, now the FDA is considering using the same MRNA technology for the influenza vaccine.
• 49:22
  Now, remember, the influenza vaccine is generally year by year, only about 8 to 12% effective because they don't know which strand of the vaccine is going to be predominant that year.
• 49:35
  But now, for those people who get the, and by the way, I never get the flu vaccine because I don't want the flu.
• 49:41
  Instead of getting an attenuated virus, a dead virus, well, it's not technically a lot, so a virus into your bloodstream to teach your body to protect itself against that strain of the virus.
• 49:54
  They want to teach your body to make that strand of the virus, meaning they're going to teach your body to make something.
• 50:00
  Something that's toxic to it.
• 50:02
  And there are all sorts of medical issues with that.
• 50:06
  Why do we bring priorities?
• 50:09
  See, the FDA has agreed to consider this.
• 50:13
  But guess what?
• 50:14
  First of all, the FDA doesn't legally exist.
• 50:16
  There's no power to regulate food and drugs delegated to the United States by the Constitution.
• 50:20
  It's a clear violation of the 10th Amendment.
• 50:23
  And the question of priorities.
• 50:24
  Are you going to let a government bureaucrat determine for you what you're going to stick in your arm?
• 50:30
  That's a priority for me.
• 50:33
  It's why I never took the COVID-19 vaccine.
• 50:36
  It's why uh I don't get the flu vaccine.
• 50:40
  It's why I don't play these stupid games for stupid prizes.
• 50:46
  It's a priority to me.
• 50:48
  What is your priority?
• 50:50
  And what are the priorities you're looking for and the people are going to represent you?
• 50:54
  Not just in Congress, in your state legislature, in your county legislature, if you're in a city in your city legislature, what are your priorities?
• 51:02
  What are you going to focus on?
• 51:04
  And then how are you going to make that decision?
• 51:08
  The reason I ask every candidate, show me when you fulfilled your oath to support the constitution when it costs you something, is because that's a priority to me.
• 51:17
  If I can't trust you to keep a solemn promise, I can't trust you to do anything.
• 51:23
  If I can't trust you to fulfill an oath, that oath means nothing.
• 51:29
  That oath is words.
• 51:30
  And what was the last time you saw a government employee lose their job because they failed to fulfill an oath?
• 51:39
  And that's what makes a republic work.
• 51:43
  The not just the electing of representation, but holding that representation accountable.
• 51:49
  That's what makes a republic.
• 51:51
  That's what Jeff, what uh Franklin was talking about.
• 51:54
  We said we had a republic if we could keep it.

  If we, the people did our job holding our elected representatives accountable, choosing them based on a set of priorities that involve rights and liberty, holding them accountable when they make mistakes, not if they make mistakes, when they make mistakes.
• 52:16
  It is up to we, the people.
• 52:18
  And we've convinced ourselves that no that somebody will do something.
• 52:22
  Well, the problem is when you're waiting for somebody to do something, nobody does anything.
• 52:27
  And that's how freedom and liberty dies.
• 52:30
  It doesn't die necessarily in the flame of battle, but in the in the calm waters of apathy, of just an unwillingness to stand up for your rights, an unwillingness to invest the time and effort to choose representation, to spend more time focusing on your representation than what you're going to have for dinner tonight.
• 52:56
  While both are important, I would claim that one has a much greater impact, not just on your life, but on the lives of your neighbors, of your family, of your friends.
• 53:07
  Because of that, I think it means we should spend some more time putting, making sure that our priorities are what's are controlling our vote, and that our priorities are not get this over with so that I can go about my life.
• 53:22
  Because that's the attitude that means we won't have the freedom to go about our lives in the future.
• 53:27
  So I ask you to take some time today, sit down and think about what are your priorities.
• 53:35
  And then maybe keep track of what you're doing today and ask yourself are your actions living up to the priorities you think you have.
• 53:43
  We think we have priorities, but our actions tell us what our real priorities are.
• 53:48
  And hopefully, if more Americans do that, well, you know what we may be able to do?
• 53:54
  We may be able to make our cities and towns better places, more constitutionally sound, more rights protecting.
• 54:01
  Of course, you do that, we change our counties, and you change the counties, you can change the state.
• 54:06
  And we change enough states, and the federal government doesn't matter anymore.
• 54:10
  See, recognizing our priorities and what we're willing to sacrifice to see those priorities succeed will tell us a lot about what this country will look like in the foreseeable future.
• 54:23
  And see, this is the type of self awareness, self-examination that I like to see in my Patriots.
• 54:32
  Go to Constitution Study.com slash patriots.
• 54:35
  You'll find out about the Patriots program.
• 54:37
  This is this is not another patriot program.
• 54:42
  It's not another group of patriots.
• 54:43
  It's people who are serious about learning and studying and becoming true patriots and helping other pre-tier groups and patriots live free.
• 54:53
  It involves education, learning and studying and knowing the Constitution, being prepared to defend and assert not just your rights, but the rights of others.
• 55:02
  We're gonna have communication.
• 55:04
  We're working to make sure we can't be censored or interrupted so we can know what's going on in the rest of the country.
• 55:11
  To let you know, hey, this is going on up in in New York or California or Illinois or Georgia, to know when events are going on, when there's going to be gatherings and press conferences and committee meetings.
• 55:24
  And third is my my Minutemen.
• 55:27
  Men and women ready at a moment's notice to show up, to be there to give advice, answer questions, speak at these events.
• 55:36
  That's my goal is to make people that are really prepared to defend not only their rights, but the rights of others.
• 55:42
  Prepare to defend and assert rights.
• 55:45
  Now, this is not for everybody.
• 55:47
  This is an invitation only program, which means to get an invitation, well, you got to go through the boot camp, which is real simple.
• 55:53
  You go to Constitution Study.comslash Patriots.
• 55:56
  Once you've read about the program, you can sign up for the boot camp.
• 55:59
  Right now it's a one-hour video.
• 56:01
  If you would like me to come and do this boot camp for a group of yours, please contact me and let me know.
• 56:06
  I'd be more than happy to set that up if we can work out the travel expenses.
• 56:10
  But you take the course, you pass the test, and then we have an oath.
• 56:14
  I want people that are serious, they're willing to make a solemn promise to work to defend the rights, to defend the Constitution of the United States.
• 56:23
  Then you get your invitation to join us at the Constitution at Patriots, at the Constitution Study Patriots, and hopefully make a difference, not just in our lives and the lives of our families, but the lives of our friends and neighbors and well, America as a whole.
