- 0:11Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
- 0:15This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
- 0:31I'm old enough to remember when Virginia's tourism motto first hit the airwaves.
- 0:36While many people may think that Virginia is for lovers, recent actions by the state show that Virginia is for lovers of tyrants, and it's not alone.
- 0:47Hello there, everyday Americans.
- 0:48Paul Engel here with the Constitution study where we read instead of the Constitution, teacherizing generation be free.
- 0:54So glad you could join me today.
- 0:55You know, again, I remember when the the commercials first hit and the motto, Virginia is for lovers.
- 1:02And of course, everyone, oh, isn't that nice?
- 1:04Isn't that sweet?
- 1:05How wonderful.
- 1:06And it sounds great, but here we are decades later.
- 1:10And um, well, I'm I'm looking at what's going on in Virginia and saying I don't think they're for lovers.
- 1:17I think what they really love, well, is tyranny.
- 1:20Of course, the big news is the recent uh uh uh what it was they called it a referendum that uh would redistrict the uh the state.
- 1:30The the people approved a redistricting.
- 1:33And it's not the fact that the that there was a mid uh uh mid decade reached uh uh redistricting, right?
- 1:39A lot of people are up in arms, oh my god, you can't do this.
- 1:41There hasn't been a census, except the Constitution of the United States says nothing about when and under what conditions a state can reappropriate, reapportion, redistrict their representatives, right?
- 1:54There's no yes, it's usually done after the census as the the new numbers come out, and uh if a state gains or lee loses a uh one or more seats, it has to redistrict to compensate for that.
- 2:07That's true, but there's nothing that says they they could only do it then.
- 2:11So it's not the fact that it was done, it's not even the fact that it was done by referendum, it's what the outcome was.
- 2:19As I understand it, the news I have so far, the referendum won 51 to 49, meaning just a hair over half of the people who voted in Virginia thought that they wanted this redistricting, right?
- 2:34The majority rules.
- 2:36But the redistricting map that was created takes 10 of the 11 uh uh members of the House and puts them in districts leading heavily leaning Democratic.
- 2:49So I'm kind of interested if if 90 percent of the people of Virginia actually members of the Democrat.
- 2:57Do they vote for the Democratic candidate or not?
- 3:00In other words, would they be represented by the Democratic Party?
- 3:05Now, I have a uh a feeling about this, right?
- 3:07Because remember, I was born and raised, I lived most of my life in New York State, where where I lived in upstate New York, you I would get it was probably 60, 70 percent people voted Republican.
- 3:20However, it the Republican Party had relatively little power in the state because, well, New York City always voted Democrat.
- 3:29And when it and that might, you know, they might have some power in some state legislation, but when it came to presidential elections, Bubkiss, no matter how many people voted Republican, there was always more Democrats, and that always felt unfair.
- 3:44And it's it's one of the reasons why I did this.
- 3:47I'm gonna talk more about presidential elections in just a minute because we're not done with Virginia.
- 3:51But I have to ask you if I don't know what the percentage of the um the population is uh is either a part of registered Republicans or lead towards Republicans, but I bet you it's more than 10%, which is where the the bad taste about gerrymandering.
- 4:12I know it's often pronounced gerrymandering, I believe the proper pronunciation is because it's uh after a gentleman named Gary.
- 4:18And it's the idea that it's not that you're coming up with a fair representation, but you're trying to manipulate the representation for political purposes, and the people of Virginia just said, sure, let's just tilt the scales to the Democrats.
- 4:34That may not have been their intention, but that's exactly what they did, which leads me to the idea that Virginia is for tyrants.
- 4:42But there's more.
- 4:59This to me has has lots and lots of issues.
- 5:01Let's start with the with first with the fiction.
- 5:04There is no such thing as the national popular vote.
- 5:09This is where reading understanding the constitution is so important.
- 5:12If you look at how the president is elected, state legislators appoint electors for president.
- 5:19Says nothing about people voting for presidential electors.
- 5:23In fact, the only place you even see the idea of people voting for presidential electors in the constitution of the United States.
- 5:31Actually, there's two.
- 5:33The first was the 14th Amendment ratified in 1866, which includes in section two, but when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for president and vice president of the United States, representative Congress, there's a restriction in there that says uh uh that that deals with um an age.
- 5:53It was originally the voting age was 21.
- 5:55And that's the first time you see even the idea of people voting to choose electors for president and vice president.
- 6:02The other place you see it is in the 24th amendment where it says the right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for president or vice president for electors for president or vice president or for senator representatives shall not be abridged by the United States or any state for failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
- 6:18So there's only two places where it's even mentioned.
- 6:21It was started in 1866, it was it was in the 24th amendment, which was ratified in 1962, but it doesn't say that people have to be allowed.
- 6:29It says when there's an election for president or vice electors for president, right?
- 6:34Uh uh, you know, then you have uh uh uh this problem.
- 6:39And again, the 24th Amendment actually gets it wrong because it says uh uh and vote in any primary or other election for president or vice president.
- 6:46Well, the people don't vote in the off president or vice president, they vote for presidential electors.
- 6:52And this confusion is not only here, but this is part of the problem.
- 6:57So you've had this hype of a national popular vote.
- 7:00Vote.
- 7:00Well, since the people don't vote for president, then there is no popular vote for president, then there's no such thing as a national popular vote for president.
- 7:00Well, since the people don't vote for president, then there is no popular vote for president, then there's no such thing as a national popular vote for president.
- 7:08Now, people may say why.
- 7:08Now, people may say why, and this is very interesting because I got booted off of Facebook, and I mean a hard booted, don't ever come back type booted off of Facebook.
- 7:09And this is very interesting because I got booted off of Facebook, and I mean a hard booted.
- 7:14Don't ever come back type booted off of Facebook.
- 7:16At the time I was teaching about what the constitutional laws of the United States say about how we actually elect a president.
- 7:16At the time I was teaching about what the constitutional laws of the United States say about how we actually elect a president.
- 7:24Um yeah, I got I got booted for that.
- 7:25Yeah, I got I got booted for that.
- 7:27Now, uh uh this this.
- 7:27Now, uh this this idea of a national power vote, it's it's basically hype from the press.
- 7:33It was give us something to talk about, and it was a way of trying to turn the functions of a constitutional republic into a democracy.
- 7:43It's an attempt to turn the election of president into a democratic choice when it is not.
- 7:50Well, I shouldn't say it's a democratic choice of the people, it's a choice of the states.
- 7:56I, you know, and of course, this this comes from a lot of confusion about the quote unquote electoral college.
- 8:01There is no such thing as an electoral college.
- 8:05That is another made-up term.
- 8:07You don't find it in the constitution.
- 8:09It's a made-up term in order to, well, I'm assuming first to try to explain something and the idea that the electors meet, they the college is a is a meeting that they meet to vote for president.
- 8:23The problem is the electors don't all meet in the same place.
- 8:26The electors meet in their own states, meaning we have 51 electoral colleges, uh, one for each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, which also has um uh also has uh uh electors delegated to it.
- 8:44So this misunderstanding has led to all this, and again, this is an attempt, and again, and I've talked about this before.
- 8:50In fact, find on the website, Constitution Study.com.
- 8:52I've talked a lot about this.
- 8:53It literally is an attempt to disenfranchise the people of a state in preference of a national referendum, right?
- 9:02So think of it this way.
- 9:03Let me give you an example.
- 9:04So obviously, um the the uh uh the democrat, the the democratic power power party has a lot of power in Virginia.
- 9:13So let's assume that that's the case.
- 9:15Let's let's rewind to the 2024 election and assume that uh if the national popular vote, if this HB 96 divided had passed for the 2024 election, then even though the people of Virginia tend to lead in democratic, in fact, in the 2024 election, um Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump by 51.8 versus 46%.
- 9:43But if the national, if this compact were in place, all of 13, all of uh Virginia's 13 electors would have been assigned from the Republican Party.
- 9:56That's right.
- 9:57Even though the state went majority Democrat, they would appoint Republican uh presidential electors because well, we're not following the vote of our people, we just want to be part of this one big giant conglomerate.
- 10:12So this not only destroys the power of the state, it it uh uh it empowers large urban areas because of the density of the population.
- 10:24It throws out the idea that states elect the president, not the not the people, and it disenfranchises the people of the state.
- 10:32And I'll guess people, you know, are the people of Virginia happy with the idea that from now on their vote matters less than it did last time in the presidential elections because well, their state cares less about what the their state citizens say and more about what the nation as a whole says.
- 10:51Now, colour me skeptical, but I would think that if in 2024 the people of can uh of Virginia realize that their 13 presidential electors went to a Republican when the state voted majority democrat, they might be just a little bit upset about this.
- 11:08But you see, this comes from an ignorance of the constitution and ignorance of how we actually elect the president, and uh again, partisan politics.
- 11:18But while I've been focusing on Virginia, this is not just Virginia.
- 11:23A dozen attorneys general from a dozen states asked to join a two court cases that are opposing Donald Trump's executive order on citizenship verification and other election integrity efforts.
- 11:40And of course, all the focus I've seen, well, not all of it, a lot of what I've seen is you see, this the president, he's trying to act like a dictator and just says, of course, the problem is Trump's executive orders are the this executive order, it's unconstitutional.
- 11:55It's it's illegal.
- 11:58And again, people I generally don't uh agree with a lot, like Missouri Attorney General uh Catherine Henaway, uh her office released a new issue of news release that said that that claimed that this is executive order, claiming it represents a federal intrusion on state authority over elections.
- 12:15Absolutely true.
- 12:17See, first of all, registration to vote is not a power delegated to the United States.
- 12:24Let me say that again.
- 12:25Registering to vote is not a power delegated to the United States, which means by both the 10th Amendment and the necessary and proper clause, the federal government cannot pass a law dealing with uh registration.
- 12:38The the ensuring citizenship, citizenship is not a in the U.S.
- 12:44Constitution a requirement to be eligible to vote.
- 12:49Now I used to say that again because a lot of people are freaking out now, right?
- 12:52The Constitution of the United States does not require citizenship to be eligible to vote.
- 13:00All of the 50 state constitutions that I'm aware of, at least everyone I've actually looked at requires you to be a citizen to vote, but that's a state power, not a federal power.
- 13:10So even though you may agree that you should be a citizen in order to vote, that doesn't make Donald Trump's um executive order legal.
- 13:20It makes, in fact, it's illegal because registering a vote, citizenship is not required, it's not a requirement by the federal constitution.
- 13:30Now, other people say, well, it's just common sense election integrity measures.
- 13:34Just because it's common sense doesn't mean it's legal, right?
- 13:38And that's just it.
- 13:41They claim they want to defend every lawful step that promotes accurate voter roles.
- 13:44Well, this is not a lawful step.
- 13:47It's not up to the president, it's not up to Congress.
- 13:51This this idea, we this goes back to the was the help America vote act, um, the national voter registration act, uh, the the Save Act, all these are unconstitutional, at least partially unconstitutional, because you're trying to regulate the federal government's trying to regulate who gets to register to vote and how they do it, which is not a power delegated to the United States.
- 14:00Uh, the the Save Act, all these are unconstitutional, at least partially unconstitutional, because you're trying to regulate the federal government's trying to regulate who gets to register to vote and how they do it, which is not a power delegated to the United States.
- 14:14So when I say that places like Virginia and others, they seem more interested in loving tyranny and saying, you know, we're gonna place political parties in charge.
- 14:14So when I say that places like Virginia and others, they seem more interested in loving tyranny and saying, you know, we're gonna place political parties in charge.
- 14:26We're going to ignore the Constitution and take us, try to take us for a republic to a democracy.
- 14:26We're going to ignore the constitution and take
- 14:33We're going to ignore our oath in the case of Donald Trump to the Supreme Law of the Land.
- 14:37Well, actually, and the governor of Virginia as well.
- 14:40Because, well, it makes sense to me, so we should have it, even though the federal government, the Constitution says, no, Mr.
- 14:46President, the United States is not authorized to do that.
- 14:50Because if it's not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, the Tenth Amendment says it's not yours.
- 14:57And the necessary proper clause says that Congress only passed the laws necessary and proper to put into effect into execution the powers delegated to the United States by the Constitution.
- 15:08This is not a power delegated to the United States by the Constitution.
- 15:11Therefore, it's not theirs to enact.
- 15:13It's not theirs, it belongs to someone else, which makes what Congress has done with these laws and what the president does with executive order, theft.
- 15:27It's a legal term, by the way, for people who are interested.
- 15:30Now you can't arrest Congress for it.
- 15:32And well, you can't.
- 15:34I died to you be able to arrest the president for it, but it certainly does rise to me to a crime.
- 15:39Is it a high crime?
- 15:41Well, if they're taking away people's rights, that seems pretty high to me.
- 15:45Am I calling for President Trump's impeachment?
- 15:48No.
- 15:48I'm calling for the people to better educate themselves, both in the Constitution, and in how they choose people who who will exercise their power in their name to uh fulfill that oath their oath to the Constitution.
- 16:05If we had people in Congress that were public servants, not public masters, public servants, then this, ladies and gentlemen, would be less of a problem.
- 16:16But of course, that doesn't happen unless we prepare, as John Jay said, read instead of the Constitution of our country, teach the Russian generation to be free.
- 16:26By the way, that's not the only place we should prepare.
- 16:29Proper preparation prevents poor performance.
- 16:31There's a reason why I have first aid kits, trauma kits, fire extinguishers in the house, in the car.
- 16:37There's one the reason why.
- 16:38Why?
- 16:39Because I want to use them.
- 16:40No.
- 16:41Because if I need them, I want them.

- 20:20America outlawed dot news is that place to awaken your heart, soul, and mind to the outloud troop.
- 20:36Welcome back, everyday Americans.
- 20:44We talked in the first segment about uh, well, they're they're they're they're gerrymandering and and uh they're joining the the alleged national uh popular vote.
- 20:55I forgot to mention that um the national popular vote compact itself is illegal because it violates the constitution of the United States.
- 21:00Is illegal because it violates the Constitution of the United States.
- 21:07Yeah.
- 21:07Yeah.
- 21:07Um Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 no state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, ships of war in time of peace, or enter into any agreement or compact with another state.
- 21:07Um Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, no state shall without the consent of Congress lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, ships of war in time of peace, or enter into any agreement or compact with another state.
- 21:22So it's interstate compact's illegal because it doesn't have where's the consent of Congress.
- 21:22So this interstate compact's illegal because doesn't that where's the consent of Congress?
- 21:25They didn't take it to Congress.
- 21:25They didn't take it to Congress.
- 21:27As far as I know, the National Popular Vote Compact.
- 21:27As far as I know, the National Popular Vote Compact never approved by Congress.
- 21:32So it's just another example of we're just gonna tyrants, we're just gonna make up stuff rules as we go along.
- 21:38Now, of course, the one thing another thing Virginia is kind of well known for is uh, well, I should say, let me show you that the current Virginia government doesn't believe in the second amendment.
- 21:48They've been they're one of several states that just like you know, oh, that keep and bear arms stuff.
- 21:53No, no, we can we can do that.
- 21:55Here's an interesting twist, though.
- 21:58So uh there was a set of gun control, and they're people control bills, they call them gun control bills, but it's it's actually people control that had gone to the governor's desk for signing, but instead of signing them, she sent them back to the General Assembly with proposed amendments.
- 22:17Now you maybe say, yay, hey, you've actually got a governor that's gonna support the second amendment.
- 22:22Oh no.
- 22:26See, the reason she sent them back is it probably wouldn't look too good.
- 22:30They had that election about the the gerrymandering.
- 22:34Yeah, yeah.
- 22:35That was coming up, and they didn't want the governors to be the to sign a bill that would basically have you know news headlines, governor bans guns just a week before the referendum on redistricting.
- 22:49And so she sent them back, and and basically she's gonna send them back to these uh to the assembly.
- 22:57Uh they want to ban what they call so-called assault firearms, so-called large capacity magazines and these things, and of course, proposed amendments, and they'll vote on those and they'll come back.
- 23:09And it's fully expected that she's going to once again deprive people of their right to keep and bear arms because she thinks that these guns are scary, and she wants to be the only person with the guns.
- 23:21Remember, she's the governor.
- 23:23That means her job is to execute the laws of the state.
- 23:27That means law enforcement ultimately reports to her.
- 23:32That means the the National Guard reports to her.
- 23:37She doesn't have a problem with police or National Guard having having AR-15s or magazines with more than 15 rounds.
- 23:44She has no problem with that.
- 23:46She just doesn't want you to have access to that.
- 23:50As I said, Virginia is for lovers of tyrants.
- 23:54They're more than happy to, and of course, she's not this is not the only state, that's not the only governor that hates the second amendment, hates your rights.
- 24:02It's just another example of in Tennessee that uh, or I should say in Virginia of the state uh hires people that hates your rights.
- 24:14They they love tyrants.
- 24:15You know, we get the guns, but you're not allowed, you're not allowed the guns.
- 24:19No, no, you're not allowed to have those guns.
- 24:21And this whole, well, you know, I'm gonna send it back to the to the assembly with some, it seems to be more a we don't want to do this before an election.
- 24:29This is political pandering.
- 24:31It's a political side show, and well, just pretty much what I'll expect from just about any governor of any state within the United States.
- 24:41But like I said, Virginia seems to love tyrants.
- 24:45No, there's one story that came up that that actually shows that maybe there's somebody in Virginia that doesn't love tyrants.
- 24:52Um a Virginia judge blocked certification of that uh uh new congressional map.
- 25:01Um the the Virginia Supreme Court allowed the referendum to proceed, but a Taswell County judge has now declared the entire referendum void and barred the state from certifying the results or redrawing the map.
- 25:17Now, according to this judge, according to his decision, um, he said that uh they the state did not follow proper procedures, and um they they did they they didn't have the authority to place the amendment on the ballot, and that the ballot language was unclear.
- 25:34Now, the Virginia Attorney General uh Jay Jones says he that they will immediately appeal.
- 25:40Uh, he says the Virginia voters have spoken, an activist judge should not have a veto power over the people's vote.
- 25:46We look forward to defending the outcome of last night's election in court.
- 25:50Great.
- 25:50I'd love to see this in court because I have a question.
- 25:54Um, was proper procedure followed to place the amendment on the ballot?
- 25:58Now the state supreme court said so.
- 26:01But then again, this is Virginia.
- 26:03They love tyrants.
- 26:05Um, you know, this put this.
- 26:08I'm not holding my breath that suddenly the the judges in Virginia are going to suddenly decide, hey, the constitution matters, law matter.
- 26:18We we need to to have find a a more fair system of doling out our federal represent representatives, not expecting it.
- 26:30But you got one man so far as stood up.
- 26:33One man has at least pushed this back a little bit because they're gonna have to go through court now.
- 26:38Again, since the Supreme Court of Virginia said no, this is this is fine.
- 26:43Um doesn't mean that uh um everything is fine.
- 26:48So uh yeah, we'll have to we'll have to wait and see how things uh how things fall out in Virginia.
- 26:56Meanwhile, let's take a look over in Pennsylvania, just up the roadways.
- 27:00Um Pennsylvania implemented an automatic voter registration option for driver's license applicants, right?
- 27:07So the idea was is when you get your driver's license, you're automatically registered to vote.
- 27:12The GIFs courts has potential for a lot of issues.
- 27:16See, the system isn't supposed to is supposed to filter out non-citizens, but uh according to the report from the state auditor general, it needs some improvements.
- 27:28Now, of course, everyone's saying going, oh, ooh, there were there were non-citizens let through.
- 27:33Well, hang on for a second.
- 27:36The first problem is the audit itself.
- 27:40So there are more than 200,000 applicants that have so bar been processed by the Pennsylvania Department of State for voter registration from January of 24 through June of 24.
- 27:54That's what the orders looked at.
- 27:56Now, of those 200,000 records, they actually only audited 58.
- 28:00They actually only audited 58.
- 28:03Not 58,000, 58.
- 28:03Not 58,000, 58.
- 28:08So that to me said, well, why?
- 28:08So that to me said, well, why?
- 28:13Well, they say, you know, some of the they would to look at all detailed recommendations.
- 28:13Well, they say, you know, some of the they would to look at all detailed recommendations, it would take in years to go through all of those.
- 28:16It would take in years to go through all of those.
- 28:19Okay, is that data not important?
- 28:19Okay, is that data not important?
- 28:22But still, issue other issues were found.
- 28:22But they're there still, issue other issues were found because of those 58.
- 28:27Because of those 58 records that were actually looked at, um, there's there's supposed to be a flag on the on the process of whether or not the person's a citizen as whether or not they get registered to vote.
- 28:40And according to them, there was one record that actually belonged to a non-citizen.
- 28:46And apparently, this is caused by allegedly human error.
- 28:51Uh the person wasn't marked as a permanent resident during the driver's license application process, and this was um guided through to voter registration application, even though they were a permanent resident, not a citizen.
- 29:04Now, the much more serious question is of those 58 records that were listed, 53 were not marked for citizenship.
- 29:13They didn't have any citizenship marker.
- 29:15Yet all those were citizens.
- 29:18Now the remaining five were marked as permanent residents, but four of them actually belonged to citizens.
- 29:26So if you look at it this way, this is a problem, not the way I'm sure most of us expected.
- 29:31It was just not a problem with uh there was a small problem with non-citizens being marked citizens to be registered to vote or being allowed to register vote.
- 29:40It seems like the vast majority of citizens that were audited of these records that were audited were citizens that were not automatically registered to vote because they were not properly marked as citizens.
- 29:54Okay.
- 29:55And five of them were marked as permanent residents, but four of those were actually citizens.
- 30:01So almost everyone was marked as a non-citizen of one form or another, even though either they were not marked for citizenship with any citizenship marker, or they're marked as a permanent resident and actually were a citizen.
- 30:15So this, I would say that this audit shows an absolute failure of both the Pennsylvania DOT and the Department of State's processes for automatic voter registration.
- 30:27Now, I have an issue with automatic voter registration, right?
- 30:31And it's not simply are we catching whether or not a person's a citizen or not?
- 30:36Because again, Pennsylvania Constitution, Article 7, Section , says every citizen 21 years of age, um uh possessing the following qualifications shall be entitled to vote in all elections, subject, however, to such laws requiring the regulation of electors as the general summary main act.
- 30:55So every citizen, you have to be a citizen to vote in Pennsylvania.
- 31:00And their system for doing this is a, again, to me, looks like an abject abject failure.
- 31:06But my concern is the why are we making it so easy for people to vote?
- 31:14I don't, again, I keep saying uh voting should not be made unnecessarily difficult, but neither should it be made unnecessarily easy.
- 31:23If someone wants to vote, is it too much to ask that they actually register to vote?
- 31:28Especially when you can do so at the uh the DMV.
- 31:34In other words, when I've when I moved from New York to Tennessee, I registered to vote when I got my driver's license.
- 31:39All I had to do is ask.
- 31:40There was a form that said, here, do you want to say on the form?
- 31:43Do you want to register to vote?
- 31:45Yes.
- 31:46I asked.
- 31:48Why?
- 31:49Here's the concern I have, the underlying concern.
- 31:51So let's say of the 200,000 records that Pennsylvania had, um, let's say based on voting numbers, let's say half actually wanted to vote.
- 32:03Okay.
- 32:04100,000 wanted to vote.
- 32:06That means there's 100,000 people potentially registered to vote that have no interest in voting.
- 32:12Why is that a problem?
- 32:14Have we not seen these scams where where, you know, uh against especially when states go to uh to um all mail-in bat voting, where they people send ballots to places that people no longer live, they're no longer eligible.
- 32:29All these ballots that are out that are out there, or just anybody says, hey, you know, I'm I'm John so-and-so.
- 32:35Um, you know, I'm I was automatically registered to vote, and I want a ballot, and um, but uh it's not actually John, maybe it's John's neighbor, maybe somebody, there's a lot of you just more vectors for fraud when you have people who are registered to vote that aren't actually interested in voting.
- 32:55I'm not saying it's automatic, it's more opportunity.
- 33:00And sooner or later the percentages they catch up with us, they catch up with people.
- 33:06So, you know, again, um, you know, that this idea of let's just make it so easy to vote, let anybody vote, even again, Pennsylvania's attempt to allow everybody to register to vote as long as there's some proof of citizenship, proved to be an abject failure.
- 33:23Well, if they only tested 58 out of 200,000, are there people who think they're registered to vote that aren't actually registered to vote because they were told they were automatically registered when they when they got their driver's license?
- 33:36Are there people who are eligible who are registered to vote that aren't eligible to vote because of other mistakes in this system?
- 33:42These are problems.
- 33:44And again, voting is an important civic duty, absolutely.
- 33:48It's right up there.
- 33:49Voting and jury duty to me are the two most important civic duties we have.
- 33:54But just because it's a civic duty doesn't mean it should have no cost, no work, no effort on the on the part of the citizen to fulfill the that duty that they owe to the nation.
- 34:12So yeah, Virginia has problems, Pennsylvania has some problems, and they're again they're not alone.
- 34:19So what are you doing?
- 34:21Have you have you checked your state to see if um if they're putting in uh tools and systems to make it easier to be a tyrant?
- 34:30We'll have to see.
- 34:35Sometimes we just get overwhelmed with all the the bad news.
- 34:39The the oh, we got Virginia's for tyrants and Pennsylvania can't do their registration properly, and all this bad news.
- 34:47And a lot of these entities, a lot of these agendas are being promoted by advocacy groups, not for profits, and many of them getting their donations from companies you do business with.
- 34:59There are several companies I refuse to do business with anymore, several products I no longer use, even though I like them, because I didn't like what they were doing with the money I spent with them.
- 35:00There are several companies I refuse to do business with anymore, several products I no longer use, even though I like them, because I didn't like what they were doing with the money I spent with them.
- 35:11See, I want to find places that believe what I believe, that are going to support things that I support and not support things I don't support.
- 35:11See, I want to find places that believe what I believe, that are going to support things that I support and not support things I don't support.
- 35:18Now it's never going to be perfect.
- 35:18Now it's never going to be perfect.
- 35:21But I want to, I found one that that does a pretty good job.

- 39:38Join the Constitution site.
- 39:39Today we've been talking about Virginia's for lovers of tyrants, but they're not alone.
- 39:44And um I have a couple of examples.
- 39:54And uh to me, it's a perfect example of how our ignorance of the Constitution leads to tyrants.
- 40:03Uh he's talking about the the quote unquote war with Iran.
- 40:07I say quote unquote, because while Iran is declared war against the United States, the United States has not declared war against Iran.
- 40:16Now, is there a military operation on against Iran?
- 40:18Oh, absolutely.
- 40:20But that doesn't mean it's a war.
- 40:22That's part of the problem.
- 40:23We we we we don't use words properly anymore.
- 40:27Trump comes along and says the Department of Defense is now the Department of War, and everybody starts calling it the Department of War.
- 40:33And they call Hegset the Secretary of War.
- 40:35That's not legally the department's name, nor is it legally Mr.
- 40:39Heggs title.
- 40:41The legal name of the department is the Department of Defense.
- 40:45Why?
- 40:46Because it was created by Congress, not the president.
- 40:51It was uh it's funded by only Congress can change the Congress changed the name from Department of War to Department of Defense.
- 41:00I forget when they did it.
- 41:01It was back in the 40s or 50s.
- 41:04The president can't simply change it.
- 41:06But now everybody acts as if it's the Department of War because President Trump said so.
- 41:11And now every conflict is called a war.
- 41:14Heck, we had a war on drugs, even though it wasn't actually an actual war.
- 41:17So we don't use words properly.
- 41:20And then I come to this op-ed by Mr.
- 41:23Sella, where he writes, it is no longer reasonable to suppose that Congress possesses the exclusive constitutional authority to declare war.
- 41:31Oh, really?
- 41:33Based on what?
- 41:35Who has declared war?
- 41:36Now, again, I admit there is there is a military action.
- 41:41Not all military actions are wars.
- 41:44Right.
- 41:45But let's remember Congress is the one that gave the president the authority to conduct military actions on his own initiative under certain circumstances, where he had to notify Congress, where Congress would have the ability to by by uh passing a proper uh law to terminate such action.
- 42:00By by uh passing a prop uh law to terminate such action, they could also support such action, they could go so far as declaring war.
- 42:05They could also support such action, they could go so far as declaring war.
- 42:09But now, simply because, well, Mr.
- 42:09But now, simply because, well, Mr.
- 42:11Seller thinks that the the fact that a military action committee that Congress no longer possesses the exclusive authority to declare war.
- 42:11Seller thinks that the fact that a military action committee, that Congress no longer possesses the exclusive authority to declare war.
- 42:19Congress delegated when they when they wrote the law, the War Powers Act, that said the president can use the military under certain circumstances.
- 42:19Congress delegated when they when they wrote the law, the War Powers Act, that said the president can use the military under certain circumstances.
- 42:28They did not give up their power to their authority, their exclusive authority to declare war.
- 42:28They did not give up their power.
- 42:36The fact that whether or not people follow the constitution doesn't mean the constitution doesn't matter.
- 42:41And it doesn't just because you think that the president involving military going to military actions, um, with by the way, Congress is not voted to to stop him.
- 42:53They they still vote money to pay for the military that's being used.
- 42:58So they haven't exactly directly opposed him.
- 43:01Now all of a sudden you say, well, the Congress no longer has this authority.
- 43:05That's nonsense, right?
- 43:07That's the that's the relativism of well, if I can get away with it, it's mine.
- 43:11That that if it that's the that's the logic that says if I steal a car and I don't get caught, it's mine.
- 43:16It's not legally yours.
- 43:18You get caught with it and you go to jail.
- 43:21But that's the logic of this.
- 43:23And this is part of the problem we have is this idea.
- 43:26Now, Mr.
- 43:26Sell is basically saying we now have a tyrant in chief because the commander-in-chief also has the authority to take us to to war, even though he has no legal authority to do so.
- 43:38This, as I said, this is a true lack of understanding of the constitution.
- 43:44And I don't, I don't know why Mr.
- 43:46Sella is thinking this way or doing this.
- 43:49I just know that um again, it's this uh we don't use words properly.
- 43:56We forget the meaning of words, and when we do we we just kind of throw things aside if we if they don't fit our agenda.
- 44:02I don't know what Mr.
- 44:03Seller's agenda is.
- 44:04I certainly know it isn't following the Constitution of the United States.
- 44:08And of course, following the Constitution has become less and less important because most of us don't know what it says and don't understand how when they need to push back.
- 44:17Here's an example.
- 44:17Senator Rick Scott, uh things the senator from Florida, uh, wants the White House to end what's called the optional practical training program or the opt program.
- 44:29Uh, he told the the Daily Signal the op program should not exist, it is a purely regulatory creation with no statutory basis.
- 44:37In English, that means it's something that the Department of Homeland Security came with.
- 44:41It was a regulation out of the administrative state, not based in laws created by Congress.
- 44:48Again, to me, this is very interesting.
- 44:50So, as I understand it, back in in I think it was 1992, this program was created.
- 44:56And the idea is if you hold uh a certain type of visa, I think it's an F1 visa, you can you can an F1 visa, the VC used to go to school here in the United States to get a to if you you want to come here to go to college, university.
- 45:12The opt program allows you to stay, I think for 12 months after you graduate and work.
- 45:20But again, as I understand it, if Mr.
- 45:21Scott is right, and there's no law allowing this, you just have the the president making stuff up.
- 45:28Again, this goes back to 1992.
- 45:31We're not talking, I mean, that was uh that was the end of the first Bush administration, the beginning of the uh well, the the Clinton administration started in 93.
- 45:40So you have multiple presidents from multiple uh uh political parties, both political parties, that are basically saying we're gonna make up rules that we don't have laws to.
- 45:51Now remember, the job of the president is to faithfully execute the laws of the United States, not to make them up.
- 45:59But again, we don't know what the constitution says, so they say, Oh, well, you know, hey, we got this thing.
- 46:05Let's just let's just make this stuff up.
- 46:08Now, that's assuming that Mr.
- 46:09Scott is correct.
- 46:10I'm a little bit of something.
- 46:12I've done a little bit of research on this.
- 46:13There's actually not a lot of data.
- 46:14It's funny.
- 46:15When they talk about the opt program, um, they say it was created in 1992, but not by whom or how so uh again, this is this is kind of interesting because since it was created by an executive agency, it is in effect a law created by the executive branch that is not allowed to do that.
- 46:37Ta-da, you have uh a true constitutional issue that nobody seems to be paying attention.
- 46:43Well, uh, Senator Scott wants it to stop, but his problem is not that it's unconstitutional.
- 46:50It appears based on the reporting I'm seeing is well, if foreigners are getting jobs, that means that Americans aren't.
- 46:59Uh, he said in uh in a letter, he said the jobless rate for recent graduates with computer engineering degrees is nearly double the general unemployment rate, and the unemployment rate for recent computer science graduates is over 50% higher than the general jobless rate.
- 47:14And he attributes this to people coming from other nations, including China, of course, there's a lot of bugaboo.
- 47:20He said many opt recipients from communist China have jobs in universities and big tech firms, giving them access to sensitive technological information and intellectual property.
- 47:29We cannot continue opening the door to an enemy nation that will happily use our own research against us.
- 47:35So, Mr.
- 47:36Scott's issue is not with the constitutionality, it's like, well, we don't like the fact that Chinese are using this program and they're probably spying on us because as they understand it, under Chinese law, every Chinese citizen is required to do whatever the Chinese government tells them to do.
- 47:53If that means spying on a foreign national foreign nation, by all means, do it.
- 47:57If it means stealing intellectual property, they're required to.
- 48:12Remember, it wasn't the 14th amendment that came up with this idea of birthright citizenship.
- 48:16It was the courts, right?
- 48:19The 14th Amendment says if you're born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, even Supreme Court justices can't figure this nonsense out.
- 48:29And all that goes back to a case called Wang Kim Ark versus United States, where the Supreme Court made up this idea of birthright citizenship.
- 48:37Now remember, the 14th Amendment says you have to be born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
- 48:43But the court said, well, listen, you have parents of this Mr.
- 48:48Ark who were subjects of the Emperor of China.
- 48:52Now they were residing here in the United States and they were doing so legally, but they were here, they specifically state that they were subjects of the emperor of China, but he's a citizen.
- 49:00They were subjects of the Emperor of China.
- 49:04But he's a citizen.
- 49:06They kind of ignored that whole language of the Constitution to come up with this now.
- 49:06They kind of ignored that whole language of the Constitution to come up with this now.
- 49:10That, ladies and gentlemen, is a form of tyranny.
- 49:10That, ladies and gentlemen, is a form of tyranny.
- 49:12And that has been used now for a century for the false claim that anybody who is who is born here, even if you're here, children, a child of illegal aliens or anyone else, suddenly magically, you're a citizen of the United States in direct violation of the Supreme Law.
- 49:12And that has been used now for a century for the false claim that anybody who is who is born here, even if you're here, children, a child of illegal aliens or anyone else, suddenly magically, you're a citizen of the United States in direct violation of the Supreme Law of the Land.
- 49:31Now, this is the type of tyranny that has been used to both not only not only does it encourage people to come here, there's a whole birth tourism process.
- 49:41Um, especially there's there's there's a gentleman, there's a Chinese national who uh comes to the United States to get women pregnant so that they will be his children and U.S.
- 49:52citizens, and then as soon as they're old enough, he takes them back to China.
- 49:55I mean, that's it's that's that's kind of an extreme example, but there are plenty of examples of people who simply come to the United States on a tourist visa in order to get in order to have a child here, because the courts made up this nonsense of birthright citizenship.
- 50:10So they claim U.S.
- 50:11citizenship, which of course, if your child's a U.S.
- 50:14citizen by law, you can call you have a legal way of entering the United States as well.
- 50:18It's it's it's a whole scam.
- 50:21I also believe it's used by a lot by uh uh illegal immigrants to again gain influence over not only the election process, right?
- 50:29Because this has been going on for a century.
- 50:32So you have people who are born in the United States, they're now old enough to vote.
- 50:35They were given, they were falsely given U.S.
- 50:37citizenship, they have the legal right to vote, but they're not they're they're not subject, they're though they're not truly subject to our jurisdiction.
- 50:45And um, this is causing a lot of problems.
- 50:48Now, the court, the Supreme Court is looking at this, and uh, I saw another article about this and how literally this idea of birthright citizens, it's it's literally stealing our children's birthright.
- 51:02In other words, those who are actually children, my daughter, I'm a U.S.
- 51:06citizen, my wife is a U.S.
- 51:08citizen.
- 51:09Our daughter is not only children of U.S.
- 51:11citizens, she was born in the United States.
- 51:13She is a natural born citizen.
- 51:16But many of her rights are being diluted and contradicted by laws passed by people elected or by people who are not truly citizens.
- 51:25And this is not simply again.
- 51:27This isn't that's this one, nothing.
- 51:29I'm talking about a national problem, where people are losing their rights and often they're giving up their rights because well, they think well, it is just common sense to let people do this.
- 51:43The court said it's okay, so that's fine.
- 51:47I mean, part of me wonders going back to the question, the original question with Virginia and their their electoral pro uh uh re redistricting.
- 51:55I wonder how many of the people who voted for and against that uh that resolution would be considered citizens if the 14th Amendment was properly applied.
- 52:08Makes an interesting question for me.
- 52:09Makes an interesting question.
- 52:11Um, I think for well, for a lot of people.
- 52:17Because if our laws are being changed by people who were improperly given citizenship, that changes the entire direction of the United States.
- 52:28And I don't know if that's what you want.
- 52:31I don't, I don't know if that's what you want for your children.
- 52:35And that's really what's important.
- 52:37You know, whether I'm talking about tyranny in Virginia, you know, a lot of people say they they think they know what they want, but they don't think of the long-term consequences.
- 52:45And that's what I'm getting at.
- 52:47It's the question of um, you know, is that the the country, is that the state is Virginia?
- 52:54This this one-sided political party dominated uh uh uh government and election process.
- 53:01Does that what they want for their children?
- 53:04The tyranny of a single party state.
- 53:07We've seen what happened in California.
- 53:09I've seen personally what happens in New York.
- 53:11We've seen what happens in Florida when one party is so much in charge, the other party effectively doesn't get represented.
- 53:21So is that what you want?
- 53:24Now I'm sure by this point, you've got a lot of questions, right?
- 53:27You know, you're not sure about my sources or or maybe you have a question or a comment about something I've said here.
- 53:33I love when people ask questions.
- 53:35To me, questions are the bedrock of education.
- 53:39If you want to learn, you have to ask questions.
- 53:42If you want to engage someone, the best way is to ask a question.
- 53:47If you want to expand your own knowledge, the best way is to be asked a question.
- 53:53It's why I set up a whole section of my website just for questions.
- 53:57Just go to Constitution Study.com/slash questions and ask.
- 54:02Now, I do ask for your name and email address because I'm going to email you a personal response.
- 54:07No AI, no automation.
- 54:09I'm going to read your question and I'm going to write your response.
- 54:13Now, if you would like me to answer that question on the radio, you can do that.
- 54:17There's a checkbox.
- 54:18It says, please answer on America at Loud Talk Radio.
- 54:21And if you do that, I will also answer the question right here in front of the United States on this radio program.
- 54:27I want more of these questions.
- 54:29I personally, I like whole segments where I can answer people's questions.
- 54:33I just don't get enough questions.
- 54:34I want if you so you send me more questions.
- 54:36Not only do you hopefully get answers, and you may not like the answers, but to get answers, I like them because well, they help me open up and reinforce and learn about my position, but they're also entertaining for others.
- 54:50So I I need I'd love to have those more of those questions.
- 54:54And again, I ask for your email address.
- 54:56I guess I know people are reluctant to give out their email address.
- 54:58A lot of times I get fake email addresses, and I can't answer you.
- 55:04That's to me, that's a problem.
- 55:05How can I email you an answer if I don't know?
- 55:07Of course, you can always block me.
- 55:08You can always unsubscribe.
- 55:10You can always say, I don't want more of this content, and I'll stop sending you the content.
- 55:14It's that's how things work here.
- 55:18But if you want to ask questions, I love questions.
- 55:21And uh I love asking them, I love answering them.
- 55:24I love the way they make me think through what I'm doing.
- 55:28And I love when I have the opportunity to answer questions for a lot of other people.
- 55:34Now, if you want me to answer a question on the radio program, of course, I said there's a checkbox, but I also hope that you listen to the the Constitution study every weekday, 4 p.m.
