Sex scandals and fraud running through Congress · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

  Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
• 0:15
  This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:31
  While people have been focused on the Epstein scandal, it appears not only have we got sex scandals running through Congress, but other problems as well.
• 0:41
  It's almost as if there's something in the water on Capitol Hill.
• 0:45
  Hello there, everyday Americans.
• 0:46
  Paul Engle here with the Constitution Study, where we read instead of the Constitution, teacher action generation be free.
• 0:51
  I'm glad you could join me today.
• 0:53
  Now listen, you know, I'm I'm not trying to be salacious or focused because of the, but I just find it interesting how often people end up in positions of power, succumb to uh, well, let's just say the lure of uh sexual escapades.
• 1:14
  I mean, a lot of the focus on the Epstein scandal has been the fact that, well, it involves sex.
• 1:22
  And the idea of uh, you know, Sex Island and his airplane, and and of course, the rich and the powerful that were allegedly involved with this to the point where even the mention that maybe you were on the plane has become like a mark of cane.
• 1:38
  But I want to look at today at what's going on in Congress, because in just the last few days, not one, but two members of the House of Representatives have announced their resignations from Congress.
• 1:52
  Now, the first was Eric Swalwell.
• 1:55
  Now, he was already under a lot of political heat.
• 1:59
  Um, granted, you look at uh what he did while in Congress, and well, that was certainly meant to piss off more at least half the country.
• 2:07
  But um his bid to run for governor of California.
• 2:12
  Well, you know, a lot of people were talking, you know, is this the the next uh uh newsome?
• 2:17
  You know, is it he just gonna be another Gavin Newsom?
• 2:20
  If based on what he did in the House, people were kind of speculating what he might do as governor.
• 2:25
  But that seemed to have come to a rapid end after there were several women that accused Mr.
• 2:32
  Swalwell of um sexual misconduct.
• 2:36
  Former staff members alleged uh, well, let's just say he was a little touchy feely in situations where he didn't have consent.
• 2:47
  So Mr.
• 2:48
  Swalwell did what everybody does nowadays.
• 2:50
  He went to social media to well to issue a statement, and uh he he acknowledged he made past mistakes, but he firmly rejected allegations of sexual misconduct until he kind of resigned.
• 3:05
  He said, I'm deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in the past.
• 3:12
  I will fight the serious false allegations made against me.
• 3:15
  However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.
• 3:18
  I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members.
• 3:24
  Now that's interesting because um he says, yes, I've made mistakes, but not the mistakes you're talking about.
• 3:32
  They warrant me stepping down, but mainly it seems to be because he's expecting a vote in Congress to expel him.
• 3:41
  He went on to say expelling anyone in Congress without due process within days of an allegation being made is wrong.
• 3:47
  But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties, therefore I plan to resign my seat in Congress.
• 3:54
  Well, first of all, uh who's talking about expelling him without due process?
• 3:59
  Because you gotta understand what due process is.
• 4:01
  Due process is not endless litigation.
• 4:04
  Due process is a process designed to protect the rights of the individual.
• 4:09
  Uh, Mr.
• 4:10
  Swallow, you don't have a right to a seat in Congress.
• 4:14
  You were elected to it, but you don't have a right to it.
• 4:17
  And um, if there are uh again, they and and again, the process generally involves not simply allegations of wrongdoing, but evidence of wrongdoing.
• 4:28
  In other words, they don't just show up and you're expelled.
• 4:32
  This goes to the ethics committee.
• 4:33
  There are votes, there's times for for to provide um uh evidence and and witnesses, and yeah, um, there are there is due process.
• 4:45
  So even here, as he is exiting stage left even, he can't seem to stop putting his foot in his mouth when it comes to understanding the constitution.
• 4:54
  Now, yes, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has confirmed that they've opened an inquiry into an allegation of of sexual assault involving Mr.
• 5:04
  Smallwell Swalwell back in to really getting to event back in 2024.
• 5:09
  They're investigating, but you have run from it.
• 5:15
  So does that mean that you're guilty?
• 5:17
  No.
• 5:19
  But um it it could infer some, you know, if not if not even uh uh uh the the um uh uh a belief of guilt.
• 5:29
  It certainly shows another problem we have in our elected election system, and that is um, you know, if candidates are often not only dragged through the mud, but they're along with their friends and family and associates.
• 5:44
  So maybe he talks about being distracted from my duties.
• 5:48
  I don't know, based on what I've seen.
• 5:51
  Does it really take that much time to do the duties you've done in Congress?
• 5:53
  It seems you spent more time uh playing uh, you know, donkey hitman than you have uh in in actually doing the job you were elected to do.
• 6:03
  Now, it's not one-sided, right?
• 6:05
  He swalwell is a donkey.
• 6:07
  What about the elephants?
• 6:09
  Well, in March, the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into Representative Tony Gonzalez uh over out again, allegations of sexual misconduct involving a staff member.
• 6:21
  Claims that he improperly granted preferential treatment within his office.
• 6:27
  Now, his response to this was, well, he too is resigning from Congress.
• 6:33
  He posted on X.
• 6:34
  This is there's a season for everything, and God has a plan for us all.
• 6:37
  When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office.
• 6:41
  It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas.
• 6:45
  Okay, and again, these are allegations.
• 6:48
  It's an investigation, and people are running for the hills.
• 6:51
  No, I don't know.
• 6:52
  Maybe he got a plea deal.
• 6:53
  I don't know what this the congressional version of a plea deal, right?
• 6:56
  You plead no contest.
• 6:58
  Uh uh, you know, we won't investigate, we won't expose everything that we think we know.
• 7:00
  Investigate, we won't expose everything that we think we know.
• 7:03
  I don't know.
• 7:03
  I don't know.
• 7:05
  But it certainly seems that maybe there's something in the water.
• 7:05
  But it certainly seems that maybe there's something in the water.
• 7:09
  Now, this shows that it's not simply a Democrat or Republican problem.
• 7:09
  Now, this shows that it's not simply a Democrat or Republican problem.
• 7:14
  This happens on both sides.
• 7:14
  This happens on both sides, but I've also noticed people saying, well, gee, you know, that the House is controlled by the Republicans.
• 7:15
  But I've also known those people saying, well, gee, you know, that the House is controlled by the Republicans.
• 7:21
  You'd think maybe that he'd, you know, stick in there, maybe hoping that the Republicans would save his backside.
• 7:21
  You'd think maybe that he'd, you know, stick in there, maybe hoping that the Republicans would save his backside.
• 7:27
  I don't know.
• 7:27
  I don't know.
• 7:28
  I don't know, Mr.
• 7:28
  I don't know Mr.
• 7:28
  Gonzalez.
• 7:28
  Gonzalez.
• 7:29
  I don't know.
• 7:29
  I don't know Mr.
• 7:30
  Swalwell.
• 7:31
  All I know is what I've seen in the media about them.
• 7:34
  And uh again, seems like there's a problem in Congress.
• 7:39
  Now, personally, I think that problem is human beings.
• 7:43
  I don't think there's something in the water on Capitol Hill.
• 7:47
  Not really.
• 7:48
  But what you have are people in power, people who are rarely told no.
• 7:53
  And that takes people who are prone to taking things too far, to maybe take things too far.
• 8:02
  I'm reminded of a uh what I've been told is that in ancient Rome, when a conquering general would return to Rome, they'd have a big parade and he'd be on his chariot, and standing behind them would be a slave, reminding him, you're mortal, you're mortal, you are mortal.
• 8:21
  The idea is we didn't want someone to get too big for their britches.
• 8:25
  And maybe that's the problem.
• 8:27
  We send people off to Congress, and there's nobody there reminding them, you're just a dude.
• 8:33
  You're just a lady, you're just a person with a position that that uh uh have uh a position of trust, and you can just as easily break that trust, and we'll hold you accountable to.
• 8:47
  I wish we held them accountable to it.
• 8:49
  Perhaps if we treated our members of Congress as the employees they are, rather than as special as leaders, as in many cases above the law and above the standards of everyone else.
• 9:03
  Maybe we'd have less of this.
• 9:06
  Now, while we're speaking of Congress, they recently returned from uh um their their Easter recess, and uh they've got some things on their plate, and uh again, more examples of there's just something wrong in Congress.
• 9:21
  For example, uh probably their number one priority is going to be uh funding the rest of DHS.
• 9:27
  This is now almost two months that uh this debacle of political chicanery.
• 9:35
  This, you know, a kabuki theater of we're fighting for the little guy.
• 9:39
  No, you're not.
• 9:40
  You're playing political partisan games, probably on both sides.
• 9:45
  But the question is, are they going to fix this problem or are they going to continue to play games?
• 9:51
  For example, before leaving on their recess, the Senate passed a bill that would have fully funded DHS, except ICE and CBP, which of course is their big problem, right?
• 10:01
  Because the Democrats in the especially those in the Senate, but they they hate ICE and CBP with a passion of a thousand sons, and they want to do anything to get rid of them, or at least restrict them, put them in a straitjacket so there's nothing that they can do.
• 10:15
  Uh, Speaker Johnson referred to that as a joke because the House spent uh uh also passed a bill that would be a 60-day stop gap that would have fully funded DHS, but that was rejected by the Democrats because again, we're seeing the American people being held hostage by this political uh how what did George Wilder?
• 10:37
  Oh, yeah, he called it the the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension.
• 10:42
  Yeah, that's kind of what we've been dealing with.
• 10:44
  Here's another thing, you may not have heard much about this.
• 10:46
  You heard about 702?
• 10:48
  Yeah, the uh the foreign intelligence surveillance act, section 702.
• 10:52
  That's the law that basically allows the federal government to spy not just on foreigners, but on the American people.
• 10:59
  Now, people say, no, no, no, it's just for foreign and says right there, foreign intelligence.
• 11:03
  Yeah, but you what most people don't realize is that um, you know, if you because of what they call the three hop rule, meaning if they're investigating somebody who emailed somebody else who emails you, you are now open for that investigation.
• 11:19
  Now, they're supposed to hide your identity in those documents, but do you really trust government to with with your personal data?
• 11:29
  Now, this is up for renewal.
• 11:31
  And every time it comes up to for real, this violation of the Fourth Amendment, people say, well, we got to do it to keep us safe.
• 11:38
  Yeah, remember Benjamin Franklin?
• 11:40
  Those who would give up essential liberties for the promise of temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
• 11:46
  That's what this is.
• 11:48
  And of course, Trump says he wants an 18-month assent.
• 11:52
  Let's just kick this thing down the road rather than deal with the known and documented abuses that of FISA 702, including against Donald Trump.
• 12:04
  Uh speaking of Trump, he he's also asking for an additional 1.5 billion dollars for the Pentagon.
• 12:11
  Um, most of that, uh I think he wants to, I'm sorry, a lot of that has to deal with the funding the the uh the Iran war, which is another thing that Congress probably is going to be looking at, because uh as uh Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, uh, Congress must reassert its authority over the war-making power, war-making powers.
• 12:35
  Well, okay, you have the authority to declare war or not, you have the authority, the power of verse.
• 12:43
  The fact is, Mr.
• 12:44
  Schumer, at this point, you're on the losing side, which is probably the main reason you're you're whining and crying about this.
• 12:50
  And these are some of the probably the big things that Congress is going to be, well, we would expect Congress to deal with.
• 12:56
  What do I what do I personally expect?
• 12:59
  I expect more political shenanigans, game playing, name calling, finger pointing, anything, but actually representing the people of the United States.
• 13:08
  Don't get me wrong.
• 13:09
  I believe people like like Schumer and Johnson, they're representing probably the will of the majority of their constituents.
• 13:20
  But as a whole, yeah, the the this is um, it seems more like they're representing their political party.
• 13:27
  And the sad point is most Americans that I've met vote based on political party more than the actual character of the person running for office, which it's sad, but you know, we got to deal with the truth here, and even if it's um, even if it's unpleasant.
• 13:46
  Now, I have a break coming up before I go, you know, there's a lot of unpleasant things that we have to deal with day in and day out.
• 13:53
  It's called life.
• 13:55
  Uh, one of the things we have to deal with is we have to deal with the consequences, not only of our decisions, but often of the decisions that other people have have uh foisted upon us and our willingness to follow along.
• 14:00
  But often are the decisions that other people have have uh foisted upon us and our willingness to follow along.
• 14:07
  One of those was probably the the results of COVID, not necessarily COVID, which had its own problems, but our response to it.
• 14:07
  One of those was probably the the results of COVID, not necessarily COVID, which had its own problems, but our response to it.
• 14:17
  See, we the shedding from the vaccine is real.
• 14:17
  See, we the shedding from the vaccine is real.
• 14:21
  Long COVID is real.
• 14:21
  Long COVID is real.
• 14:23
  Vaccine injury is real.
• 14:23
  Vaccine injury is real, and what do we do about it?
• 14:25
  And what do we do about it?
• 14:27
  Uh, you know, some people say, well, there's no
• 14:28
  You know, some people say, well, there's nothing you knew about it.
• 14:30
  Well, our friends at the wellness company say maybe not.
• 14:35
  Vaccinated or not, that spike protein that the vaccine, the mRNA vaccine teaches your body to make, it's toxic and it is a long-term threat to your health.
• 14:45
  That's why they develop daily spike support.
• 14:48
  It can be taken both to protect you against the effects of vaccines and shedding, as well as help mitigate the effects if you've already been vaccinated or if you've had COVID.
• 15:00
  It's a revolutionary combination of agreements, research and design to block and dissolve the spike protein, that toxic part.
• 15:06
  Now, I'm not a virologist.
• 15:08
  I don't play one on TV.
• 15:10
  But people who have who've been right so often in what COVID was and how to treat it, they say that it works.
• 15:17
  This is backed by documented research.
• 15:19
  It's been vetted by the chief medical board of the wellness company.

  Now, another thing we're remembering, it is a 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
• 16:05
  It's an amazing time.
• 16:07
  250 years.
• 16:08
  Uh to me, that's that's amazing.
• 16:11
  I think it's also a great opportunity to remind us of the importance of defending our own rights.
• 16:18
  You know, the declaration says a government that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the send of the governed.
• 16:26
  Well, it may be their job to secure these rights, but it's our job to protect ourselves and defend our own rights.
• 16:32
  That governments only have the powers we delegate, we consent to.
• 16:37
  And too often we consent by well, by abstinence rather than by involvement.
• 16:43
  In those, we just go along to get along, and we don't we don't positively consent, we just lick up and get away with things.
• 16:51
  I'm always amazed every year around the independence day.
• 16:54
  I point to how many of the the grievances that the colonists had against Great Britain that we the people of America have against Wash what's going on in Washington, DC.
• 17:04
  This is a great opportunity to read and study the constitution.

  Welcome back, everyday Americans.
• 20:16
  Not just today, not just in 2026.
• 20:20
  You see, there's been a transcripts released of that House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
• 20:26
  You know, the the uh interviews they did of um the inspector general for the intelligence community, you know, back in 2019.
• 20:36
  And um, I well, I haven't reviewed all the documents.
• 20:40
  People who have there are they're reporting that uh it this testimony shows how the intelligence community, intelligence officials worked with politicians to charge a sitting president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress based on lies and hearsay.
• 20:58
  These testimonies, which were recorded, these are these are not, you know, so and so remembered, these are recordings, showed how um IG Atkinson and his office bypassed first hand witness information in favor of hearsay from a whistleblower who submitted the complaint, alleging.
• 21:00
  Which were recorded.
• 21:00
  These are these are not, you know, so and so remembered.
• 21:03
  These are recordings, showed how um IG Atkinson and his office bypassed firsthand witness information in favor of hearsay from a whistleblower who submitted the complaint, alleging.
• 21:20
  In other words, it'd be like saying uh, you know, the cops show up and arrest you for shoplifting.
• 21:20
  In other words, it it'd be like saying uh um, you know, the cops show up and arrest you for shoplifting because you know they got a 911 call that someone matching.
• 21:27
  Because you know, they got a 9-1-1 call that someone matching your description with shoplifting.
• 21:32
  And a witness shows up and says, That's you're not the guy, it's somebody else.
• 21:36
  But they prosecute you for shoplifting anyway, because you match the description.
• 21:40
  That's kind of the crazy of what we're seeing here, at least what's being alleged.
• 21:45
  Uh, according to the federal senior legal correspondent, uh, this also shows how the FBI had been politicized uh in and attacking in the and in their investigation.
• 21:58
  Some examples include uh the July 25th, 2019 phone call that Trump had with Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky, uh, where Trump mentioned concerns about Biden family corruption in Ukraine.
• 22:12
  Concerns either way that had been publicized, including video evidence of, well, I'd say um Joe Biden basically playing quid pro quo with federal uh foreign aid.
• 22:24
  But rather than looking at the document or taking the the actual language, the uh uh uh a so-called whistleblower falsely accused, they completely misinrepresented the content and falsely accused Trump of calling for a quid pro quo, which again was laughable since we had unaltered video that showed um Joe Biden asking for a quid pro quo in Ukraine.
• 22:51
  And but what was this allegation of of quid was it based on?
• 22:56
  Well, they refer to it as quote unquote open source information, gossip, media articles, Twitter posts rather than actual firsthand evidence.
• 23:07
  That is the corruption that was in Congress at that time.
• 23:11
  And I don't think that corruption's really gone anywhere.
• 23:14
  The whistleblower themselves admitted that they were not a direct witness to most of these events, yet his testimony was used rather than actual eyewitnesses.
• 23:26
  Uh, in testimony on September 30th, 2019, uh Ms.
• 23:32
  Cleveland, the uh the uh federalist uh uh correspondent, she wrote an article that demonstrated that members of the intelligence community inspector general's office were likely providing an assistance, assistance to bury Donald Trump.
• 23:48
  She contended that the whistleblower knew the intelligence community uh community whistle whistleblower protection act did not apply to selectively quoted quoting the law to ensure that the complaint received attention of the intelligence committee, even though again it was based on falsehood and lies.
• 24:05
  In in other reporting, it's claimed that National Security Counsel Lieutenant Colonel Alex Vinman was really the driving force behind this attempt to impeach Donald Trump, again, based mostly on hearsay and rumor in contradiction to facts and evidence.
• 24:24
  To me, there's a lot behind this, and it's not that Donald Trump is perfect.
• 24:27
  I've already talked about the ways Donald Trump is screwed up in his previous administration in this administration.
• 24:33
  But what do you what do I see here?
• 24:35
  I see Congress violating the separation of powers.
• 24:40
  See, Congress is the legislative branch, not the executive branch.
• 24:45
  Their job is to write the law.
• 24:47
  It is the executive branch's job to execute the law.
• 24:51
  Now, they took this attempted impeachment and tried to uh make up crimes.
• 24:56
  They they basically blew the entire due process by how they treated the evidence they were brought in an impeachment investigation.
• 25:05
  Now remember, in an impeachment, the House is basically like the grand jury.
• 25:09
  They make the accusation.
• 25:10
  That's what an impeachment is.
• 25:11
  It's an accusation.
• 25:13
  It is not a finding of criminality.
• 25:16
  But there was so much obvious malfeasance in this process that uh, if it had gone anywhere, there would be um there would be the precedent that we can that the Congress can actually override the will of the states.
• 25:33
  The states elect the president.
• 25:35
  No, the people do not elect the president, the states elect, the people tell the states who they want them to vote for.
• 25:40
  It's the states that appoint the electors, the states that elected Donald Trump, and you had a Congress that was attempting to perform a mini coup.
• 25:48
  We're gonna throw out the executive that was per that was legally elected by making up crimes and and and bad uh failure of due process to what replace them with one of their own liking.
• 26:04
  This is how broken Congress is now in part because well, Congress doesn't pay attention to their actual job of lawmaking, they spend much more time with that that spirit of dissension, that spirit of revenge that is a natural part of party dissension.
• 26:23
  Congress is no longer the simply the legislative body, they've become the cage match for political party rancor.
• 26:33
  And of course, it's not just Congress.
• 26:35
  I mean, we're looking a lot at Congress, but let's face it, the executive branch gets into this as well.
• 26:40
  The Justice Department is expected to release a report concluding that the Biden administration targeted uh abortion opponents because of their religious beliefs, and prosecuted, no, persecuted them for blocking access to abortion clinics even when they didn't actually block access to abortion clinics.
• 27:01
  This is based on a report that was reviewed by MS Now, which is you know the Microsoft's latest, you know, it's MSNBC under another name.
• 27:11
  Now, looking they they this draft was put together, this report was put together in part to help justify Donald Trump's pardoning of nearly two dozen defendants who were convicted under the FACE Act.
• 27:26
  Now, the the freedom of access to clinic entrances, it's a 1984 law that violates the constitutions.
• 27:33
  It prohibits interfering with people trying to access reproductive health clinics.
• 27:38
  How does it violate the concept?
• 27:39
  There's nothing in the constitution that tells that gives Congress the power to regulate access to health clinics, right?
• 27:46
  So it violates the necessary and proper class.
• 27:49
  It violates the 10th Amendment.
• 27:51
  But according to this report, this draft of this report says upon assuming office, the Biden Department of Justice shattered the public's trust by weaponizing the FACE Act to advance a pro-abortion agenda, and DOJ's civil rights division was at the forefront of this weaponization.
• 28:00
  Act to advance a pro-abortion agenda and DOJ's civil rights division was at the forefront of this weaponization.
• 28:07
  Now, I find it very interesting that a Congress that was willing to go after a president for um well false allegations of quid quo pro.
• 28:07
  Now, I find it very interesting that a Congress that was willing to go after a president for um false allegations of quid quo pro.
• 28:20
  Now we have the we don't have them looking at um impeaching Joe Biden for for weaponizing the DOJ.
• 28:20
  Now we have the we don't have them looking at um impeaching Joe Biden for weaponizing the DOJ.
• 28:27
  But Paul is not in office anymore.
• 28:27
  But Paul is not in office anymore.
• 28:29
  He can still be impeached.
• 28:29
  He can still be impeached.
• 28:30
  There's precedent of the courts that they can still be impeached because it would prevent him from ever holding office.
• 28:35
  It's not going to happen.
• 28:36
  From a political point of view, though, it certainly would certainly drag down Kamala Harris's next bid for president.
• 28:43
  Uh not that I expect her to win anyway, but nowadays you never know.
• 28:48
  But what we're seeing is is, you know, Congress created, again, the FACE Act is unconstitutional.
• 28:53
  Congress has no authority to regulate such access, right?
• 28:58
  They don't.
• 28:59
  This is it's null and void because it's not made pursuant with the Constitution.
• 29:03
  It is not uh valid.
• 29:05
  It is uh um again, it's null and void.
• 29:10
  But most people act as if it is.
• 29:12
  Because Congress, just because Congress made the law doesn't mean it's the supreme law of the land, doesn't mean it's actually valid.
• 29:18
  To be supreme law of land, it has to be pursuant of the constitution.
• 29:21
  What constitutional power does a face act support uh uh work come under?
• 29:26
  Nothing.
• 29:27
  None whatsoever.
• 29:29
  And by targeting only certain clinics, well, it shows that this is not equal protection under the law.
• 29:37
  Now, the Equal Protection Clause comes under the 14th Amendment applied to the states, but the concept of equal protection is throughout the entire constitution.
• 29:46
  That means this is a targeted uh uh um, this is a targeted legislation.
• 29:51
  But remember, Congress, which was around when this was happening, they saw the bad actions.
• 29:57
  They did they take uh efforts to impeach people who were involved in this?
• 30:02
  No.
• 30:03
  So what we're seeing again is the the weaponization of Congress and both in attacking their political opponents.
• 30:13
  Uh, no one I've ever heard talking about repealing the face act.
• 30:17
  No one that I know has even uh filed a lawsuit claiming the face act is unconstitutional.
• 30:24
  This is, you know, this is again Congress running amok, creating laws that are dealing with um uh political agendas rather than actual powers of the United States.
• 30:35
  It's why we, the people, every member of the state needs to diligently read and study the constitution of this country.
• 30:43
  We need to teach your eyes and generation be free.
• 30:45
  Because remember, what Congress does, they do in your name.
• 30:48
  And what Congress doesn't do, they don't do in your name.
• 30:52
  That means when Congress had a witch hunt for a president of an opposing party, they did that in your name.
• 31:01
  And when Congress sat back and did nothing while a chief executive attacked their political opponents, they did nothing.
• 31:13
  Because you see, the president doesn't represent us because we don't elect him.
• 31:17
  Congress represents us and they represent our states.
• 31:20
  We elect them.
• 31:23
  And when we don't hold them accountable for so much of this, and again, it's not just the FACE Act.
• 31:27
  Think of the PrEP Act.
• 31:29
  Think of the vaccine injury compensation program.
• 31:31
  These are all illegal, unconstitutional acts that Congress has made that we've done nothing about.
• 31:46
  They represent us, they represent our states, and when they are sick, when they are ill, when the members of that we put in Congress are more worried about their their political party agenda than what we uh uh uh hired them for, then Congress is sick and we we sort of suffer the symptoms.
• 32:05
  Everyone who complains that Congressmen don't represent their people, well, why did you hire them then?
• 32:12
  Now you may disagree, you may think that, well, that Congressman doesn't represent their people.
• 32:16
  That may not be true.
• 32:17
  As I've pointed out, New York, you know, governor uh uh Senator Schumer, he, especially since he lives in New York City, he accurately represents my experience of most of the people in New York, not all, most of the people in New York City.
• 32:32
  But if you live in the state of New York, and Senator Schooner doesn't represent you, your beliefs, your ideals, then it's your job to work within the state to hire somebody else.
• 32:46
  The same way you look at a representative, you look like maybe a Nancy Pelosi and say, well, she doesn't represent the people.
• 32:52
  Look at San Francisco, look at her district.
• 32:54
  Yeah, she kind of represents the craziness of San Francisco.
• 32:58
  That's the way a republic works.
• 33:02
  We represents these all, and then we come together and we discuss and we debate and we decide by majority what the policy and the laws are within the umbrella of the Constitution.
• 33:17
  Which means if you look at Congress and you see it as sick, you see it is corrupt.
• 33:23
  That's our fault as a people, because we hire people more interested in donkeys and elephants than in their oath to the Constitution.
• 33:32
  Now, you may think of that as bad news, but to me, that's good news.
• 33:36
  Because if we're responsible for making the mess, that means we have the power to fix this mess.
• 33:42
  But that only happens when we the people take our duty, our civic duty to choose our representatives seriously.
• 33:52
  We go beyond simply, oh, well, you know, uh, I he looks good.
• 33:56
  She looks good.
• 33:57
  Oh, I got to offer Joe for because she's a woman of color, or because he's a homosexual, or he's a donkey or an elephant.
• 34:04
  We need to get past all of that.
• 34:06
  Each and every one of them will take an oath to support the constitution.
• 34:10
  Have they fulfilled that oath in the past?
• 34:12
  If not, why do you expect them to fulfill it in the future?
• 34:16
  Especially if they have to, if they don't won't do it when it's serious, when it's hard.
• 34:22
  That is the character we need in Congress.
• 34:25
  And we're not gonna, and Congress is gonna continue to be this sick, demented, twisted mess until we the people hire better people to represent us in Congress.
• 34:37
  By the way, I would extend that to our state legislator, our county commissions, our city councils.
• 34:44
  This mess will continue until we the people take our responsibility, our civic duties seriously.
• 34:52
  Now, I have another break coming up, but I want to remind you a lot of these policies that these politicians are put in place, they get promoted by a lot of lobbyists, a lot of organizations that are pushing for these.
• 35:00
  Get promoted by a lot of lobbyists, a lot of organizations that are pushing for these.
• 35:04

  Join the Constitution study.
• 39:24
  It's a mess.
• 39:26
  It's a dumpster fire, and yeah, it's all our fault.
• 39:29
  And of course, one of the big things in Congress is this push to pass the Save America Act or the Save Act, as it's called.
• 39:36
  And as I've pointed out repeatedly, half of that act is unconstitutional.
• 39:41
  Let me say that again.
• 39:42
  Half of the Save Act is a direct violation of the Constitution of the United States.
• 39:48
  There is nothing in the Constitution that gives the federal government oversight over voter registration.
• 39:57
  They can enforce rules about who gets to vote, but they have no power over registration.
• 40:03
  Now you divide, deny someone the right to vote because of age, sex, race.
• 40:09
  Then Congress can pass laws that make that unconscious, but they cannot say you have to be a citizen to vote, because there is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that requires citizenship to vote.
• 40:21
  I know it sounds crazy, but that's because our founding fathers realized the federal government isn't in charge of voting.
• 40:29
  You read Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1.
• 40:34
  The times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof.
• 40:44
  The federal government is not in charge of elections.
• 40:48
  Even elections for their own federal offices.
• 40:51
  Now, it goes on to say, but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as a place of choosing electors.
• 41:00
  So they can regulate um uh uh the time, place, and manner by law, but not keeping track of who's eligible to vote.
• 41:12
  And by the way, they can only do it for elections for U.S.
• 41:15
  House and Senate, because those are the only federal offices the American people vote for.
• 41:20
  We don't vote for president, we don't vote for the Supreme Court, we don't vote for the executive branch, we vote for House and Senate.
• 41:28
  That's it.
• 41:29
  So when the SAVE Act says you need to prove your citizenship to vote, that is a violation of the 10th Amendment.
• 41:36
  It's also violation of article of the the necessary and proper clause.
• 41:40
  It's unconstitutional.
• 41:42
  Now, when it requires voter ID to vote, well, that is effective, but only for House and Senate, which, if I've remembered, say that correctly, they say for federal offices.
• 41:53
  Well, the only federal offices that the American people actually vote in are House and Senate.
• 41:58
  So that would be legal.
• 41:59
  That's why I say it's half thing.
• 42:00
  Say it's half thing.
• 42:01
  But here's the point that people keep forgetting.
• 42:01
  But here's the point that people keep forgetting.
• 42:04
  Uh, every state constitution I have checked makes it a requirement that you be a citizen of the United States in order to vote.
• 42:04
  Every state constitution I have checked makes it a requirement that you be a citizen of the United States in order to vote.
• 42:12
  Right?
• 42:12
  Every because again, states are generally in charge of elections.
• 42:13
  Because again, states are generally in charge of elections.
• 42:16
  And every state constitution says you must be a um you must be a citizen of the United States to vote.
• 42:16
  And every state constitution says you must be a a um you must be a citizen of the United States to vote.
• 42:24
  Now, why I find this interesting is I saw an interesting report.
• 42:24
  Now, why I find this interesting is I saw an interesting report.
• 42:27
  They they listed uh the Federalists.
• 42:27
  They they listed uh the Federalists listed four states, they say already have the SAVE Act in state law.
• 42:35
  Right?
• 42:36
  The first is Florida.
• 42:39
  Now they've passed a law which goes into effect, I think January of next year, so the after this election, that requires citizenship verification against the real ID data when you register to vote.
• 42:52
  It's one of the reasons why remember, I was saying real ID.
• 42:55
  This is basically an attempt to make a national ID.
• 43:00
  Um, and here we're seeing it, states using it saying we're gonna, we're gonna your citizenship is not based on actually showing citizenship.
• 43:07
  We're gonna use a real ID database.
• 43:09
  All right, so it's not great, but they've basically implemented the Save Act, one of the functions of the Save Act.
• 43:16
  Now, in Mississippi, they recently passed a law that requires election officials.
• 43:20
  This law is called the named, is the safeguard named and safeguard honesty integrity in elections.
• 43:26
  It's a shield, it's a hate these acronyms, but it requires registration officials to check information against United States citizenship and immigration services alien verification element uh entitlements, meaning to actually look at the citizenship database.
• 43:42
  Now, what's interesting is this one only requires certain applicants.
• 43:47
  In other words, they must be flagged as potential non-citizens, um, or who do not provide a driver's license number when registering to vote.
• 43:57
  Now, I okay, uh, I guess in Mississippi, I don't think they give driver's licenses to not to illegal immigrants.
• 44:04
  So maybe that works.
• 44:05
  But again, do they give driver's license to permanent residents?
• 44:09
  Just because you have a green card doesn't mean you get to vote because you're not a citizen, you have to be a citizen to vote.
• 44:15
  Uh similarly, South Dakota, uh, the home state of Senator Thune has been pushing this for so long.
• 44:21
  Uh, they the governor recently signed the SBE 175, which requires anyone registering to vote for the first time in the state to provide proof of citizenship.
• 44:32
  Now, is it they they they include provide a driver's license issued after January 1st, which um deals with a state law mandating citizenship status to be denoted on a driver's license, right?
• 44:45
  Or they can provide a copy of a birth certificate, because again, 14th Amendment and the the often misreading of the 14th Amendment.
• 44:53
  So, okay, they're they're working on it.
• 44:56
  Again, uh, not not perfect, but not bad.
• 44:59
  And then lastly, in Utah, they also passed a law that requires proof of citizenship when you register to vote in state elections.
• 45:08
  Now, what's interesting is if the applicant uses a federal voter registration form, which is illegal and unconstitutional, because the federal government has nothing to do with voter registration, and if they provide a federal voter registration form and they do not provide proof of citizenship, well, they can only vote in federal races.
• 45:27
  Okay, if you want to be stupid like that, be my guest.
• 45:31
  Um, because you have to remember when you're voting, yes, you're voting in a state, but you're voting for representatives from that state, you're voting for senators from that state.
• 45:39
  The fact that they're in federal offices, they're federal races.
• 45:42
  Why should non-citizens be allowed to choose our members of Congress?
• 45:47
  Now, there are several other states that are considering this.
• 45:49
  Alaska has one, West Virginia, Kansas, Arkansas, I even think uh Michigan may be considering something.
• 45:57
  But the point is, this is where that needs to occur at the state level.
• 46:02
  I agree, proof of citizenship to register to vote should be a requirement.
• 46:09
  And uh, but again, that needs to be done at the state level, not the federal level, because it's not legal for the federal government to demand proof of citizenship to do anything about registration, none whatsoever.
• 46:22
  The only thing they could do is if you if you deny someone the ability to register to vote, which is a requirement for voting, because of their age, sex, or race, you've got constitutional issues, right?
• 46:36
  If someone's over 18 and you base on race or sex, you cannot deny them the right to vote.
• 46:41
  Registration is required in your state to vote, you can't deny them.
• 46:44
  That's the only thing Congress can do.
• 46:47
  And those laws have already been passed.
• 46:50
  There's nothing about citizenship in the Constitution.
• 46:54
  Remember, this is a state function, and this is once again um Congress trying to take over a state function that a power not delegated to them by the Constitution of the United States.
• 47:06
  Now, I was on uh uh doing an interview the other day, and uh an interesting question came up and it had to do with Virginia.
• 47:14
  So this is not really about Congress, but this is about Virginia.
• 47:18
  This is also about understanding the supremacy clause.
• 47:21
  You see, the Commonwealth of Virginia has passed uh several pieces of legislation.
• 47:25
  They call them gun control bills, they're actually people control bills, but that's you know um one of them is a controversial quote unquote red flag law that allows authorities to temporarily seize guns from individuals deemed a threat to themselves or other.
• 47:40
  By the way, I I haven't read that law, but I I will bet is without due process of law making it a violation of the 14th Amendment, but that's not the point here.
• 47:49
  Uh apparently these laws have led to rumors, quote unquote rumors that uh the Virginia state police when we start door-to-door gun confiscations in Virginia.
• 48:03
  Now, I I say rumors because I haven't seen anything stated whether this is actually a plan.
• 48:08
  Again, the Virginia State Police, they they posted um on social media that uh claims that uh uh Governor Spanberger is ordering done good door-to-door gun confiscations, uh, is not true.
• 48:23
  And even if they were true, they said there's no truth to the rumors of door-to-door gun confiscations in Virginia.
• 48:30
  Um, okay, uh, I'd also find it interesting.
• 48:33
  Um, they that apparently he went on to explain that the VSP's role is to enforce laws passed by the legislature, but they do not have the authority to confiscate guns without due process.
• 48:45
  Now, again, where do these rumors come?
• 48:47
  Because I see rumors of all sorts of things.
• 48:49
  Yeah, I mean, half the time, probably more like three quarters of the time when someone uh makes an assertion online.
• 48:56
  The first question I have to ask is, well, where's your evidence?
• 48:58
  Um, you know, and I love the response.
• 49:00
  And I love the response.
• 49:00
  Well, you just aren't aware of the facts.
• 49:00
  Well, you just aren't aware of the facts.
• 49:02
  No, you haven't presented any facts.
• 49:02
  No, you haven't presented any facts.
• 49:04
  But that's uh that's neither here there.
• 49:04
  But that's uh that's neither here there.
• 49:06
  Could these simply be rumors by people who are afraid of a gun grabbing governor?
• 49:06
  Could these simply be rumors by people who are afraid of a gun grabbing governor?
• 49:12
  Yeah.
• 49:12
  Yeah.
• 49:13
  Could it be a misreading or a misinterpretation?
• 49:13
  Could it be a misreading or a misinterpretation?
• 49:16
  Yeah.
• 49:16
  Yeah, could it be people trying to stir up others to um uh promote their own agenda?
• 49:16
  Could it be people trying to stir up others to um uh promote their own agenda?
• 49:22
  Yeah.
• 49:22
  Yeah.
• 49:23
  Here's the interesting question.
• 49:23
  Here's the interesting question.
• 49:25
  Is it true?
• 49:25
  Is it true?
• 49:26
  Would the uh Virginia State Police refuse?
• 49:26
  Would the uh Virginia State Police refuse to enforce a law that were to require them to confiscate guns without due process?
• 49:36
  That to me is very important.
• 49:39
  Because if the red flag law does not include due process for the alleged dangerous person, then the VSP says, Well, I can't confiscate those guns.
• 49:50
  Now, understand, due process is a governmental or judicial process designed to protect the rights of the individual.
• 49:57
  That means just because someone says someone's a threat, you can't take their guns because there's no due process.
• 50:04
  They haven't had a chance to confront witnesses, they haven't had a chance to see the charges against them, they haven't had the opportunity to provide witnesses and evidence in their favor.
• 50:13
  There's no due process, therefore you can't confiscate the guns.
• 50:17
  Do I really think the state police would ignore an order from the governor or a red flag, uh, one of these red flag laws, these these emergency extreme protection orders, because they're not violent because they violate due process.
• 50:32
  Again, I wouldn't hold my breath.
• 50:35
  This is also where the supremacy clause comes in.
• 50:38
  Article 6, clause 2.
• 50:39
  This constitution and the laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof shall be the supreme law and treaties made or it shall be made shall be the supreme law of the land.
• 50:48
  And the judges in every state shall be bound thereby anything in the constitutional laws of any state to the contrary, notwithstanding.
• 50:54
  That means if the legislature passes the law, if someone tries to deprive you of your rights without due process of law, then that state law is void because it is not valid.
• 51:08
  It violates the supreme law of the land.
• 51:11
  But we pass it in the legislature.
• 51:12
  It doesn't matter.
• 51:14
  Any state law must is superseded by the constitution.
• 51:18
  It's why, going back to the other question about not having not requiring citizenship to register to register, not allowing registration or requiring citizenship in the U.S.
• 51:29
  Constitution.
• 51:29
  That power is not delegated to them.
• 51:31
  That's a state power.
• 51:34
  That's why the the um the Save Act is not binding on the states, even if it were to be passed and signed into law.
• 51:41
  It violates the Constitution.
• 51:44
  But I I love the idea that state police would not enforce these unconstitutional laws, even though they're passed by the state legislature.
• 51:52
  But do I trust them?
• 51:55
  Personally, not so much.
• 51:57
  I guess we'll have to wait and see.
• 51:59
  But this is again looking, we start off looking at Congress.
• 52:02
  You did kind of stray a little bit into state issues, but it's this is understanding of the powers and the limitation on our legislative bodies, both Congress, state, city, local.
• 52:17
  And it's important that we know our rights.
• 52:20
  We recognize when they're violated, so we can defend and assert our rights against them.
• 52:26
  That whether whether it be Congress, whether it be the state legislature, whether it be your your county commission, we need to be willing to stand up.
• 52:34
  And it takes some time, it takes some education.
• 52:36
  It's important though.
• 52:37
  It's how we protect our rights.
• 52:39
  You know, as Reagan said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
• 52:44
  We prevent that by teaching ourselves and the rising generation what the constitution says and how to be free.
• 52:51
  Now, to help you, I wrote my book, The Constitution Study, Restoring the Constitution to We the People.
• 52:57
  I wrote this specifically so that I mean I figured an 18th-century farmer could understand the Constitution, a 21st century American should.
• 53:04
  So I did a clause by clause study of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and I wrote it all down in this book.
• 53:12
  I designed it so that individuals and small groups can read it, can learn, can study, can better understand their rights so they can defend and assert them.
• 53:20
  You can find out more.
• 53:21
  Go to the website, constitutionstudy.com/slash shop.
• 53:24
  You'll find this and all my other books in the books section.
• 53:28
  If you'd like it signed, I will sign it for you.
• 53:31
  There's an option for you when you buy the paperback version on the website.
• 53:36
  But it's important that you understand, you know, this isn't for me to make money.
• 53:40
  Everything you buy on that website goes to keeping the constitution study up and running.
• 53:44
  It goes to allowing me to do events and speak in engagements without charging people for it.
• 53:50
  My rule of thumb is if you don't charge to enter the event, I don't charge you to speak at the event.
• 53:56
  And that's I fund those through people who buy my books and shirts and mugs and donate to the cause.
• 54:03
  That's how I fund my travel.
• 54:05
  So I can go to these events and speak to people, teach them about the constitution, teach them to live free, encourage them to read and study the constitution, encourage them to learn to defend and assert their rights.
• 54:18
  So you can help.
• 54:28
  Like I said, it's clause by clause.
• 54:30
  I go into some of the history, some of the explanations, also that everyday Americans, we the people know what our constitution says.
• 54:38
  Remember, the first the preamble begins with we the people and ends do ordain and establish this constitution.
• 54:46
  If we the people aren't aware of what that constitution we ordain and establish says, how can we ever hold our elected officials accountable?
• 54:55
  How can we ever fix the problems in Congress and our state legislatures, in our county and city uh legislators?
• 55:01
  How?
• 55:02
  If we don't know what the law is, it doesn't take a law degree.
• 55:07
  It simply takes some reading, some studying, some time, a little bit of effort.
• 55:12
  And by the way, if you have a question, if you're reading my book and you have a question, or if you just have a question, well, go to the website, constitutionstudy.com/slash questions and ask it.
• 55:21
  I love when people ask me questions.
• 55:23
  I think it's one of the greatest features of that website is the fact that I ask for questions.
• 55:28
  And I do ask for your name and email address because I'm going to email your reply.
• 55:33
  By the way, if you'd like me to answer it here on the radio, there's a checkbox that says please answer on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 55:38
  I will do that as well.
• 55:40
  So please check it out.
• 55:45
  Pick up a copy and use it as an opportunity to study the declaration, the constitution, the founding documents that made this nation the great nation that it is.
