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

  This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:31
  People often talk about ethics, but what do we do to promote them?
• 0:36
  After all, what are ethics anyway?
• 0:39
  Hello there, everyday Americans.
• 0:40
  Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teacherizing generation be free.
• 0:46
  I'm glad you could join me today.
• 0:48
  This idea of ethics to me is important.
• 0:51
  Um what are ethics?
• 0:53
  It's interesting, you know, you know me, I like words, I like definitions.
• 0:56
  Ethics, according to Merriam Western Online Dictionary, in this context of of what we're we're dealing with.
• 1:04
  Ethics is the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group.
• 1:10
  Now, there's another sense of which ethics are a set of moral principles, a theory or system of moral values.
• 1:17
  So you put those two together, and what we're really talking about is do we have a set of moral principles, a set of moral values that govern the conduct of individuals or groups.
• 1:28
  That's what we're talking about, ethics.
• 1:31
  Now, before I really jump into some of the ethics questions, I do want to point out that uh the standoff, the game of chicken, so to speak, between uh, well, let's just say that the donkeys and the elephants regarding the funding of the Department of Homeland Security seems to have been resolved.
• 1:49
  Um, the Senate did pass legislation that would fund most of DHS.
• 1:56
  It did not include um immigration's customs and form enforcement uh or some parts of customs and border patrol, which I believe were already funded under the big beautiful bill.
• 2:05
  The bill went to the House of Representatives, and uh, according to reporting, hey, they passed it, and uh, I'm even hearing people say that the lines at the TSA checkpoints and airports have gone down dramatically just on the well, they say just on this.
• 2:22
  Remember, there was already some money set aside to help pay some salaries.
• 2:27
  I think it's a combination of things.
• 2:29
  But the good news is this latest standoff is well, seems to be concluded.
• 2:35
  Um, don't know how long it will last.
• 2:37
  I expect another one.
• 2:38
  That's kind of the question of ethics, you know.
• 2:42
  What are the moral principles behind the actions of people we hire to represent us in Congress?
• 2:48
  Uh, what are those principles?
• 2:49
  What moral principles, what are they based on?
• 2:52
  And uh, do any of us agree on what those moral principles are or should be?
• 2:58
  Okay, let's get the bit on ethics.
• 3:01
  Now, the House ethics panel, which okay, expecting politicians to have an ethics panel is, you know, I don't know, like expecting the the devil to have a uh an ice cream parlor.
• 3:13
  Uh it just seems it's almost oxymoronic.
• 3:17
  But again, they do have ethics.
• 3:18
  It's just we have to remember those ethics are based on moral values that, well, let's just say I would think most Americans may not agree with, which is why it's so rare for what most people would find obvious on unethical behavior by a large number of the members of Congress, are never actually brought up for uh hearings.
• 3:38
  However, however, there were a there were charges laid at the feet of Representative Sheila Cherfullis McCormick.
• 3:48
  Sorry if I mispronouncing that.
• 3:49
  I wasn't trying to.
• 3:51
  So the the House Ethics Committee looked at the statement of alleged violations.
• 3:57
  There was actually 27 counts, 20 specific, seven specific violations that were alleged against uh Ms.
• 4:05
  Cherfilis McCormick.
• 4:08
  And uh 25 of them, the House Committee said, yep, these were violations.
• 4:15
  Now, apparently the panel deliberated far into the night.
• 4:18
  Uh they they had a after a seven-hour public hearing held uh the the day before, they went through a lot uh before they announced their findings.
• 4:29
  Now, the full committee will hold a hearing to determine what sanctions they will recommend to the House as a whole.
• 4:36
  Uh, this of course is not going to happen until after you know the members of the House go home so that they can have their their little Easter egg hunts and their their Easter break.
• 4:45
  And, you know, I I don't so much begrudge them a break for res to celebrate resurrection Sunday uh as much as I find it laughable how much they leave behind while they're out on these breaks.
• 4:57
  So again, the the committee apparently is going to have a a hearing to determine what punishment to recommend.
• 5:03
  That will then go to the floor of the House, which could include her uh Ms.
• 5:08
  Uh Cherfullis McCormick being expelled from the House of Representatives.
• 5:14
  Now, some of you may be asking, well, wait a second, how can they do that?
• 5:18
  How can they expel a member of the House of Representatives?
• 5:22
  Well, the answer is actually pretty clear, and it's actually constitutional.
• 5:26
  You see, under Article 1, section section five, clause two, we read each house may determine the rules of its proceeding, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.
• 5:39
  So that basically means if uh they want to, if if the committee thinks that expulsion is the proper punishment, they need to get two-thirds of the house to agree with them, and then they can remove them.
• 5:52
  This is a power delegated again to each house of Congress, the House and the Senate.
• 5:57
  That is, you know, they they get to punish their own members for what they perceive to be disorderly conduct.
• 6:05
  Notice it's not like an impeachment.
• 6:08
  They don't go through this whole trial nonsense.
• 6:11
  It's a simple vote.
• 6:13
  Uh it's it doesn't have to be based on high crimes or misdemeanors.
• 6:17
  No, all they have to do is say we don't like this behavior.
• 6:20
  This is disorderly behavior, and uh therefore we're gonna vote you out.
• 6:24
  It's a lot simpler to do this because you have a member of a house of Congress removing one of their own members.
• 6:32
  It's not like when the House removed tries to remove a president or a a judge, a federal judge, where you've got one branch going after another branch.
• 6:41
  This is a branch within itself.
• 6:42
  That's why the the level is easier.
• 6:46
  Which then leads us to uh, well, Alexandra Akasia Cortez.
• 6:51
  She comes up a lot on this because she does a lot that's worth uh well, ridicule.
• 6:56
  Uh she's now being accused of misusing nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year.
• 7:04
  And this has now been uh a complaint has been filed uh by the National Legal and Policy Center, has been filed with the Federal Elections Commission and the Office of Congressional Conduct looking for uh uh enforcement of um well, agency probe into Ms.
• 7:22
  Ocasio Cortez, her congressional campaign committee, and its treasurer, a Frank Llewellyn.
• 7:29
  Now, the allegation is that uh again, Ms.
• 7:31
  Ocasio Cortez spent uh rough almost $19,000 uh with on mental health.
• 7:38
  Um, and it's not the fact that she needed mental health, it's that her campaign financed it rather than her personally.
• 7:48
  Now, according to the complaint, there's reason to believe that AOC's use of campaign funds to pay for a psychiatrist who has no experience in leadership training, was not a bona fide campaign or political purpose, but rather for personal psychiatric therapy for AOC or her campaign staff.
• 8:04
  So again, AOC's in the news again, and the question happens, you know, what are what happens?
• 8:12
  Well, using campaign funds for personal use is prohibited by law.
• 8:16
  You can face a fine and up to five years in prison if you're found guilty of uh misuse of your campaign funds.
• 8:27
  Now that would be handled by the Federal Election Committee.
• 8:31
  The complaint to the Office of Congressional Conduct would again refer the matter to the ethics committee, which could which could again do their investigation and could call for censure of Ms.
• 8:45
  AOC, uh, up to and including her expulsion from Congress.
• 8:50
  I know a lot of people that cheer at the thought of Ms.
• 8:54
  Ocasia Cortels being expelled from Congress.
• 8:57
  Uh, I just want to remind you of two things.
• 9:00
  Ms.
• 9:00
  Acasia Cortez, like any other person in this country, is has required to receive due process.
• 9:08
  All right, so there has to be a process.
• 9:11
  You can't just make acute accusations and she's gone.
• 9:13
  There's got to be a process.
• 9:14
  And I I wanted to go through the process.
• 9:16
  I want to go through the investigations for the criminal complaints.
• 9:19
  She needs her day in court.
• 9:20
  All of that has to happen, even though personally I'm no fan of Ms.
• 9:25
  Ocasio-Cortez.
• 9:27
  But it has to happen.
• 9:29
  Otherwise, we're not a republic.
• 9:30
  We're we're a banana republic.
• 9:32
  Uh, but I also want to remember that she's also considered innocent until proven guilty.
• 9:38
  That it's not Ms.
• 9:39
  Acasia Cortez that has to show that she did nothing wrong, that it's actually the FEC and the OCC that have to show that she's done something wrong.
• 9:49
  And uh they have the burden of proof.
• 9:52
  That doesn't change simply because of our feeling about uh about AOC.
• 9:57
  Or while we're at it, about uh representative.
• 10:00
  Elon Omar.
• 10:01
  Uh, listen, JD Vance was on uh the Benny Show with uh Benny Johnson, and this question came up.
• 10:08
  Let's listen to a bit of that.
• 10:10
  Ilhan Omar and Tim McSacty.
• 10:12
  Obviously, Ilhan Omar, the president and the White House have been out saying that she married her brother, that there is uh immigration fraud going on here.
• 10:20
  Uh these are deportable uh denaturalization offenses.
• 10:23
  Uh, can you give us an update on that?
• 10:25
  Yeah, so we actually think that Ileon Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.
• 10:31
  And I I talked to Stephen Miller about this actually recently.
• 10:34
  We're trying to look at what the remedies are.
• 10:36
  That's the thing that we're trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she's committed immigration fraud.
• 10:42
  How do you go after her?
• 10:43
  How do you investigate her?
• 10:44
  How do you actually do the thing?
• 10:45
  How do you build the case necessary to get some some justice for the American people?
• 10:51
  Okay, notice how Mr.
• 10:53
  Vance starts out with Well, we think uh Ms.
• 10:56
  Omar has committed immigration fraud against the United States.
• 10:58
  And then it turned into, well, we know the question is how do we build a case?
• 11:04
  Well, if you're building a case, then uh uh you don't have the evidence, or are you trying to you've got the evidence and you're trying to figure out how do we move forward to deal with this case of Ms.
• 11:17
  Ms.
• 11:18
  Omar.
• 11:18
  Um now again, I haven't seen any evidence.
• 11:21
  I've heard lots of allegations, but I haven't seen any actual evidence that Ms.
• 11:26
  Omar has committed immigration fraud.
• 11:28
  Uh a lot of people making a lot of claims.
• 11:30
  I don't mean it doesn't, it hasn't happened.
• 11:32
  What I'm saying is I haven't seen the evidence.
• 11:35
  I've seen people make claims, and you know me here.
• 11:37
  Claims are about as useless as a screen door on a submarine, right?
• 11:42
  Anyone can claim anything.
• 11:44
  It's the facts and the evidence that that win the day.
• 11:47
  Uh, but so I'm I'm kind of waiting to see for some evidence coming up.
• 11:52
  But Mr.
• 11:53
  Vance went on to something a bit more.
• 11:55
  There's a related issue, Benny, which is she has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somali community.
• 12:03
  So do I know that Iliano Mar was aware that the quality learing center was defrauding the American people.
• 12:09
  I'm not certain of it, but we at least need to investigate it because if people can commit wrongdoing without even the fear that they're going to be found out, that that's a fundamental problem.
• 12:20
  So I'm worried about the immigration fraud.
• 12:22
  I'm also worried about what did Elion Omar know about what was happening in the Somali community and why was nobody looking into it until frankly, Donald Trump came along.
• 12:32
  Now, this to me leans more towards the political end of the spectrum.
• 12:35
  Remember, Mr.
• 12:36
  Ann, JD Vance, he's a vice president, he's a politician, and Ms.
• 12:41
  Omar is a member of the opposing party.
• 12:44
  Um, of course, she's all said a lot of nasty things about to his boss Donald Trump.
• 12:48
  Well, about Donald Trump.
• 12:49
  He's a president, not only sort of kind of his boss because the vice president is in elected office.
• 12:55
  But the point is, all right, now we're saying, well, we need to investigate.
• 12:59
  We don't know what she knew about the um the the quality learning center, learning center as it was best spelled.
• 13:07
  Um the attempted the the effective defrauding of the American people.
• 13:11
  We don't, we're not certain, but you certainly need to investigate, which again is an important point on the spectrum.
• 13:17
  You've got probable cause.
• 13:19
  You don't need probable gauze to investigate.
• 13:21
  You need probable, well, I should say you don't need full evidence, but you do need some probable cause.
• 13:26
  Now it needs to be something there, which Mr.
• 13:29
  Vance thinks he has that require an investigation.
• 13:33
  Again, I haven't seen it.
• 13:34
  I'm not privy to this information.
• 13:36
  I don't know.
• 13:37
  What we do know is there was a massive fraud in Minnesota in Minneapolis.
• 13:42
  Ms.
• 13:42
  Omar does represent that area.
• 13:45
  And uh but would a member of the House of Representative know what's going on in say state of funding affairs?
• 13:54
  I don't know.
• 13:55
  It wouldn't be an obviously direct correlation.
• 13:58
  Is it possible?
• 13:59
  Yes.
• 14:00
  Is it proof?
• 14:01
  No.
• 14:01
  That's why that important word investigation.
• 14:05
  It needs to be looked into.
• 14:07
  And uh, let's just say I'm pretty sure that uh the Trump administration is going to be investigate, is going to investigate Ms.
• 14:14
  Omar if for no other reason than she's been a thorn to his side, he probably would like to be a thorn back.
• 14:20
  As long as it's done legal, as long as it's done above board, that's what I want to see because that's the only way you truly deal with whatever potential criminal activity actually happened.
• 14:31
  Uh, you know, it it think of the old you know, the police procedurals where you don't want to cut corners because it can be used to tank a case.
• 14:38
  You could actually have a perfect case against the person.
• 14:40
  You could have all the facts and details and have it all lost because of some mistake that was made during the investigation that tainted the entire thing.
• 14:49
  We don't want that to happen.
• 14:51
  But this comes down to the ethics.
• 14:54
  The ethics question of, you know, did Mid Omar, did Ms.
• 14:57
  Omar commit uh um did she commit uh uh immigration fraud to enter this country?
• 15:04
  Uh has she was she participating in?
• 15:07
  Was she aware of?
• 15:08
  What was her impact, if any, her and her association have any with the fraud uh that we saw in in Minneapolis, a rampant fraud in Minneapolis.
• 15:19
  Just because she's a Somali doesn't mean that she was involved.
• 15:22
  That's why it needs an investigation.
• 15:24
  And that investigation needs to be based on more than the fact that she was a Somali and it's a Somali community where most of this fraud seems to have taken place.
• 15:33
  That is the ethical way of doing this.
• 15:36
  And um, well, I I've got some more ethics things to to look at, but I have a break coming up.
• 15:43
  Before I go, though, you know, the other night I had a kind of a hard time falling asleep.
• 15:47
  I had a bunch of stuff on my mind, some stuff had been going on in the family business, which I inherited from my father.
• 15:52
  And um, you know, you ever have those your mind just doesn't want to stop thinking about that.
• 15:57
  Well, I know a lot of people they'd reach for, say, melatonin or maybe some pharmaceuticals.
• 16:02
  I prefer not to, right?
• 16:03
  I I've heard that taking a lot of melatonin can disrupt your hormones and your sleepwake cycle.
• 16:08
  And of course, pharmaceuticals can lead to the tolerance, sometimes even dependency.
• 16:14
  So you know what I did?
• 16:16
  I reached full reach for restful sleep from the wellness company.
• 16:19
  It's set of natural ingredients designed to calm the mind and reduce stress so I could get a better night's sleep.
• 16:25
  And it works.
• 16:26
  That's what I reach for so I can get some sleep without worrying about hormones or pharmaceuticals.
• 16:31
  Now, I'm not a doctor, but what I read about what's included, things like Passion Flower, Kava, chamomile, valerian root, they make sense to me.
• 16:40
  But don't take my word for it.
• 16:42
  This is backed by documented research.
• 16:44
  It's been vetted by the chief medical board of the wellness company.

  Welcome back, everyday American jury.
• 20:17
  Join the Constitution study.
• 20:18
  Today we're talking about ethics.
• 20:21
  We're talking about a set of moral principles that we use to govern the conduct of individuals and groups.
• 20:31
  And sometimes I wonder, are we really promoting ethics?
• 20:37
  Or, as I've so often heard, do the ends justify the means?
• 20:40
  Meaning I can violate my ethics if I get the ends that I want.
• 20:44
  Which leads me to a story out of Palm Beach County, Florida.
• 20:47
  See, there was a gentleman there, uh, a uh election volunteer who was recently arrested.
• 20:56
  Joe Pence Panisi, sorry, um, who's been arrested uh for basically stealing an encrypted access key from the voter registration terminal?
• 21:06
  They're actually he's he's a election volunteer, and they were doing a training session.
• 21:13
  And a photo from the session captured this guy actually taking this encrypted access key.
• 21:20
  Now, I'm not familiar with all the details of this particular system, but as I understand it, the key is what allows you access is what allows a system access to the voter database, right?
• 21:33
  It's it's got an encryption key on it, which is used to communicate, verify, and access encrypted data on the database.
• 21:41
  And as I understand it, this key card was only allowed to access the training database, meaning none of these things were no actual uh voter uh uh votes were actually tampered with.
• 21:54
  However, there were concerns that somebody familiar with these type of systems and have some expertise could actually reverse engineer the encryption and gain access to the actual voting database.
• 22:10
  No evidence that actually happened.
• 22:13
  But I have to ask the ethics of why this person did that.
• 22:17
  Now, detectives obtained a warrant, they searched his home and they recovered the key along with a large number of electronic and digital storage devices.
• 22:27
  This is according to the the county sheriff, uh, and he was taken into custody Saturday, March 28th.
• 22:35
  Uh, he faces charges of uh property crimes and theft related to the destruction, taking or damaging of computer equipment under flaw Florida law, the penalties can range from five to 30 years in prison if he's convicted on all charges.
• 22:51
  So again, ethics.
• 22:53
  What is what was well, apparently uh well, he describes himself as a huge tech nerd, car guy, and photographer.
• 23:02
  A look at his Facebook page also says he's well, let's just say he's no Trump fan.
• 23:09
  And there's nothing wrong with not being a Trump fan.
• 23:11
  I'm not a Trump fan.
• 23:12
  Uh I don't apparently dislike Trump to the level Mr.
• 23:16
  Panisi did, but he's entitled to his opinion.
• 23:20
  He's entitled to even express his opinion.
• 23:23
  He doesn't like Trump.
• 23:24
  He can express it all he wants.
• 23:25
  I have no problem with that.
• 23:27
  However, ethics, all right, the the moral uh principles that guide our conduct says just because I don't get my way doesn't mean I get to to cheat the system to get my way.
• 23:42
  Does that make sense?
• 23:44
  He didn't get his way in the 2024 presidential election.
• 23:48
  That seems quite obvious.
• 23:50
  Does that mean he has uh he's justified in um in trying to to cheat in the upcoming special election?
• 23:59
  Does it mean he's you know he's justified in stealing the card?
• 24:05
  And uh again, I don't know why.
• 24:07
  I don't know if he was trying to reverse engineer it.
• 24:10
  Maybe he was just trying to muck up the works.
• 24:12
  Whatever his reasoning, was that a moral code of conduct?
• 24:18
  Doesn't appear to be so to me.
• 24:21
  And it while the evidence may be thin, there's a reason to believe that this was simple.
• 24:27
  Um, this is simply somebody who who hates Trump and thinks the ends getting rid of Trump or removing support for Trump justifies the means, i.e., stealing the encryption card.
• 24:39
  Uh, I don't, but that's the that's a question of of ethics.
• 24:43
  Now, it's also a question of law because what he did was illegal.
• 24:47
  It was a crime.
• 24:49
  He has been charged, he's currently out on bail.
• 24:52
  Um, but um the question now becomes he gets his day in court, right?
• 24:57
  He gets an attorney, he gets to see the charges, he gets to confront witnesses against him, he gets to call witnesses in his favor, he gets to make his case, and it's up to the government.
• 25:07
  In this case, the uh the county prosecutor in in uh was it Palm Beach County?
• 25:14
  It's up to the government to make the case against him.
• 25:17
  And if they can't make the case beyond a reasonable doubt, well, then Mr.
• 25:22
  Panisi goes free because that's ethics.
• 25:26
  The ethics of our legal system, the ethics of the constitution is that the government has the burden of proof in any criminal case.
• 25:37
  The government has to prove its case, and if it doesn't, the guy goes free.
• 25:42
  That's the way an ethical judicial system works.
• 25:48
  Again, speaking of ethics, the the FBI uh sees election ballots from the 2020 election from Fulton County, Georgia.
• 25:58
  Now, when I first covered this, uh memory serves, they obtained a warrant showing that they had probable cause supported by oath or affirmation of uh violations of federal election law in the uh Fulton County uh election count vote counting system, right?
• 26:17
  That's why they collected the data.
• 26:18
  There was a they said they had probable cause enough to get a judge to sign a warrant.
• 26:23
  Well, now the can the lawyers for Fulton County are challenging the search in court.
• 26:29
  Uh they argue that the FBI had not identified facts that established probable cause that anyone committed a crime.
• 26:37
  Uh and uh, you know, they that uh therefore that the FBI showed a car a callous disregard for the county's rights under the U.S.
• 26:45
  Constitution rather than looking at evidence, they had relied on uh allegations that they that the county claims had previously been debunked.
• 26:55
  Now, here's what's interesting because now we have two legal entities that are that are fighting each other.
• 27:01
  I don't mean the FBI in Fulton County.
• 27:03
  You see, you have one judge, a judicial magistrate who looked at the at the warrant application and said, yep, they're sufficient here and and signed the warrant.
• 27:15
  Now you have a district judge that's going to hear evidence to say, hey, wait a second, maybe this uh this search was not uh as ethical as the FBI first uh first claimed.
• 27:29
  So how do we determine this?
• 27:30
  Well, it's this adversarial system we have that's designed to deal with these types of controversies.
• 27:37
  One side says the search was legal, the warrant was valid because it contained everything needed to be valid.
• 27:44
  The other side says no, it was not valid, that it was uh the the so-called probable cause was based on uh allegations that had previously been debunked, um, at least to the county's point of view.
• 27:57
  So what happens?
• 27:58
  Well, the county feels they have a grievance against the Department of Justice and the FBI, so they seek a redress for that grievance, in this case in federal court, federal district court, and the judge is going to hear the evidence at hearing to determine whether or not he believes the FBI's uh um whether or not he believes the Fulton County had made their case that the FBI's search was invalid because the warrant was invalid.
• 28:26
  And and this is exactly how our judicial system is designed to work.
• 28:32
  We everybody you bring out your evidence on both sides, you bring your witnesses, and depending on the situation, either a judge or a jury looks at the evidence and decides well, did the person making the accusation make their case or not?
• 28:48
  That is our system.
• 28:48
  And that, by the way, is actually ethical.
• 28:52
  Now, since we're talking about elections, the Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in the case Watson versus the Republican National Committee or RNC.
• 29:02
  And it has to do with a Mississippi law that says mail-in ballots can be accepted five days after election day, as long as they're postmarked by election day.
• 29:16
  Now, again, I've reviewed the oral arguments, and I'm working on an article on take a couple weeks for me to get it actually published out to you.
• 29:23
  But it does bring up an interesting question.
• 29:25
  And well, not exactly the way the attorneys at the court brought it up.
• 29:30
  The question to me is real simple.
• 29:32
  Is election day the day the ballots are cast or the day they're received?
• 29:39
  Are the ballot, is election day the days that the ballots are cast or that they're received?
• 29:45
  Because to me, that's really the question that is at the heart of this case.
• 29:50
  If election day is the day that the ballots are cast rather than counted, well then uh what Mississippi doing is fine.
• 29:59
  We're
• 30:00
  Making sure that the ballot was cast by election day by requiring a postmark no later than election day.
• 30:07
  If it's the day that the ballot is received and put into the gut into control of some election official, well then Mississippi has a problem.
• 30:16
  Because that is five days after election day, which again, according to the Constitution, Congress can modify the time, place, and manner of elections for House and Senate, which is the other interesting twist is that the federal law can only apply to elections for House and Senate.
• 30:34
  It does not apply to state elections.
• 30:37
  And no, it does not apply to quote unquote presidential elections because the people don't vote for president.
• 30:43
  I know.
• 30:44
  Shocked, get up off the floor.
• 30:46
  You don't.
• 30:46
  You vote for you to tell your state which presidential electors chosen by the parties will represent the state, uh, will vote for president uh for the state.
• 30:57
  So the people aren't directly voting for president, they're voting for presidential electors, which is often lost.
• 31:03
  But to me, it's an interesting question because of the the ethical question of how do we define election day?
• 31:12
  And uh could there's another concern that was brought up, and that is um a couple of years ago, Mississippi added the ability to send your mail, your ballot in via common carrier.
• 31:25
  Think FedEx or UPS.
• 31:27
  Well, the difference is the Postal Service is a federal government entity.
• 31:32
  FedEx and EPS are not, which again brings in the question of custody and and all of that.
• 31:38
  But again, I found this interesting because a lot of the arguments were about history and tradition, and I did learn a bit about uh some of our election history, but not to me about the fundamental question.
• 31:54
  When Congress said that the time, place, and manner of elections are to be set by um Congress.
• 32:02
  Well, is that election when you cast a ballot or when you receive it?
• 32:06
  And a lot of this comes came about because we tried to make voting too easy.
• 32:12
  Now, I'm not saying voting should be hard, but I think we make it too easy.
• 32:16
  I'm reminded of a line from uh by Thomas Payne from the American Crisis.
• 32:21
  Uh, if I get it right, it's what costs us too little we esteem too much.
• 32:25
  We don't we do not steam enough.
• 32:27
  In other words, if you get it too easy, you don't really value it.
• 32:32
  And does so when we try to make voting easier, have we made it too easy?
• 32:39
  Have we jumped the ethical shark, so to say, to say we've gone from, yeah, let's make it easy.
• 32:44
  Uh, you know, let's allow uh uh early voting.
• 32:48
  You know, you can cast your vote a certain amount of time before election day.
• 32:52
  Um, we'll allow mail-in ballots under certain conditions, but we went too far and said, no, anybody can mail in for any reason.
• 33:01
  And it doesn't even have to be male.
• 33:03
  It doesn't have to be a drop box.
• 33:04
  It could actually just be dry, you know, hand it off at your at the UPS store or to your the FedEx person who picks up your delivering your stuff.
• 33:11
  Have we made it too easy?
• 33:13
  Do we value our voting and our elections and our choice of representation in Congress?
• 33:19
  Do we value it too little?
• 33:22
  And that to me is an ethical question that's worth spending a bit of time on because again, that's part of the heart of this question.
• 33:31
  Why, you know, if you if you can get your mortgage paid on time, if you can get your car loan paid on time, you get your rent paid on time, if you get your your gas and electric bill paid on time, why can't you get your ballot in on time?
• 33:44
  I mean, we know that your gas bills do on a certain day, that your rent, your mortgage is due on a certain day.
• 33:52
  We know that.
• 33:52
  We know that your ballot is due on a certain day.
• 33:56
  Why, in heaven's name, can you not make sure it's there in time?
• 34:00
  Why can't you mail it a week before election day to make sure that it's there on time?
• 34:06
  Why is that such a problem?
• 34:08
  Why is it so hard for people?
• 34:10
  Does it look at the ethics of elections to say it doesn't really matter?
• 34:13
  Let's make it easy because you got everybody to vote rather than saying, you know, there should be some thought behind this voting.
• 34:20
  I don't want to make it too hard, but I don't want to make it too, I don't want to devalue it too much either.
• 34:27
  Okay, listen, I have another break coming up.
• 34:30
  Uh, but you know, we're talking about ethics, and very often the ethics are where's your money going?
• 34:36
  You know, as our rights and liberties are under attack, and not just by government actors.
• 34:41
  Are you helping to fund the very people attacking your right to live free by supporting and doing business with corporations that are supporting them?
• 34:50
  So I joined the only Christian conservative wildlife provider this country has a few years ago, because I was tired of funding of seeing my cell phone provider funding things I didn't like.
• 35:02
  Patriot Mobile doesn't do that.
• 35:05
  I I pay my cell phone bill, and they are they're using that money to fund organizations that are protecting my rights, including the rights of my family and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

• 36:05
  I go there each and every day for news and information.
• 36:08
  And sure, somebody out there is saying, but Paul, you've got the radio program, you've got the webs, your websites.
• 36:14
  Um you need that.
• 36:16
  Why do I need to do that?
• 36:17
  Well, the answer is simple.
• 36:19
  Media's been lying to us for decades.
• 36:22
  Corporate media has been exposed.
• 36:24
  We live in the information age.
• 36:25
  And once alternate sources of information became out, the evidence of the malfeasance of corporate America came to light.
• 36:34
  Not the accusation.
• 36:35
  The accusation has been there for decades.
• 36:37
  The evidence came out.
• 36:39
  So in this information age, we can get information from literally anywhere around the world.
• 36:44
  Where do you go?
• 36:46
  Who do you trust to get news and information?
• 36:48
  One of my sources is AmericaOutloud.news.
• 36:51
  I still verify what I see there, but I trust that I'm going to get a good start because when I verify what they're saying, they're usually right.
• 36:59
  But I'm going to ask you to do a bit more.
• 37:01
  Yes, I'm going to ask you to visit America Outloud.news.
• 37:03
  But have you ever shared some information and someone said, I never knew that was happening?
• 37:08
  I see it all the time.
• 37:10
  See, you read the stories in the articles, and then you share them with a friend, and they go, hey, I never knew that was happening.
• 37:15
  Yeah, probably because you listen to corporate media.
• 37:18
  You take the podcast, the videos, you share them with a friend, they go, wow, I never knew that was happening.
• 37:22
  Yeah, that's because you've been captured by a media that's been lying to you.
• 37:27
  So when you share those stories, the articles, the podcasts, and the videos, you're not just sharing America Outloud.news.
• 37:33
  You're helping to secure the blessings of liberty for all of us.
• 37:40
  We wouldn't go a day without washing our hands, brushing our teeth, and washing our nose.
• 37:45
  Well, wait, we wash our nose.
• 37:47
  Yes, the number one place where bacteria, viruses, and pollen enter the body is through the nose.
• 37:52
  So the average person breathes over 23,000 times a day.
• 37:56
  That's 23,000 opportunities for bacteria, viruses, and irritants to get into your nose and make you sick.
• 38:02
  For an extra layer of protection, wash your nose with clear.
• 38:06
  That is clear, X-L-E-A-R.
• 38:09
  Clear's drug-free nasal spray features xylitol, an ingredient proven to block adhesion of many nasty bacteria and viruses and effectively clean, not just rinse like a saline, but wash your nose.
• 38:22
  Clear nasal spray quickly alleviates congestion, opens your airway, and ensures your body's natural defenses are strong.

  Welcome back, everyday American jury.
• 39:21
  Join the Constitution study.
• 39:23
  Today we've been talking about ethics and promoting ethics, promoting a moral uh set of conduct that governs the actions of groups and individuals.
• 39:34
  And uh we've looked at a couple of examples.
• 39:36
  I want to take a little, well, kind of a side strip here.
• 39:40
  See, there's there's this concept in reality, it's called cause and effect.
• 39:45
  You know, something happens, there's a way time works, it's cause and effect.
• 39:50
  Unless you're a Doctor Who fan, then it's some wibbly wobbly thing.
• 39:53
  But generally, you have cause and effect, which means if your thumb hurts, it didn't just magically happen, it's because you hit it with a hammer.
• 40:00
  Right, there's a cause and effect.
• 40:02
  Now, we're dealing with a lot of effects right now.
• 40:04
  I talked at the beginning about uh the the DHS funding uh brouhahaha that caused that was the cause.
• 40:12
  The effect was TSA people weren't getting paid.
• 40:15
  That cause led to the effect of people not showing up to work because they don't like ticket worked if they're not getting paid.
• 40:22
  And that cause led to the effect of well, long lines at TSA.
• 40:26
  Perfectly reasonable, Percy Rational, perfectly logical.
• 40:30
  Here's another one.
• 40:32
  Cause the United States and Israel attacked Iran.
• 40:37
  The effect was that Iran fought back.
• 40:40
  Perfectly logical, reasonable.
• 40:42
  In doing so, they threatened the Straits of Hormuz, where most of the oil comes exits the uh the Arabian area.
• 40:52
  That cause led to the effect of, well, oil prices went up.
• 40:56
  Now, the United States isn't dependent on oil from the Middle East, but oil price oil is considered a fungible commodity.
• 41:04
  Its price is set globally, not regionally or nationally.
• 41:09
  So the cause of rising oil prices has led to the effect of higher gasoline prices, which has led to a lot of people freaking out about the price of gasoline.
• 41:20
  I admit it's bad.
• 41:23
  But there's more.
• 41:24
  See, California has had a um a vendetta for the last several years against fossil fuels.
• 41:34
  Everything from you know uh mileage requirements on vehicles to emissions on vehicles, they've done everything they can to prevent people from using fossil fuels.
• 41:47
  That includes placing taxes and other restrictions that have driven up the price of gasoline in California so that it is higher than pretty much anywhere in the country, although sometimes they trade back and forth with Hawaii.
• 42:01
  Hawaii, though, has a more they they have part of it's their own fault, but it's an island.
• 42:06
  You know, there's no oil in Hawaii, it has to be shipped in.
• 42:10
  So there's a reason why it's generally more expensive there.
• 42:12
  But even then, California has so what is the cause and effect?
• 42:18
  Well, uh, between the higher oil prices and California's war on fossil fuels, gasoline in California is routinely, again, the most expensive or the second most expensive in the nation.
• 42:33
  Well, what happens when those things start adding up?
• 42:36
  Right?
• 42:36
  It's more exported to California because of their rules and regulations.
• 42:40
  So what is the logical response to that?
• 42:42
  Well, as gasoline approaches six dollars a gallon, seven for diesel.
• 42:48
  Um again, driven that that that driven in large part by the uh the attack on Iran.
• 42:56
  So we again you had California had high gas prices, highest in the nation, aggravated now by the the attack on the attack on Iran, leading to these very high prices.
• 43:07
  Um California's response to this is to sue to prevent the drilling of oil off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.
• 43:20
  You see, there's there's what's they they call it the dense defense production act, which provides the present authority to influence several industries in emergencies.
• 43:31
  Now, I'm not even talking about the constitutionality of the Defense Production Act.
• 43:35
  Um, that maybe that's a topic for another day.
• 43:39
  But based on that decision, by the way that's been used by uh presence of both parties, Donald Trump used that act to convince a Texas based uh oil production company to revive oil pipelines in the central coast of California, despite state and local objections.
• 44:02
  Now, let's look at the ethics of this.
• 44:04
  So you have the Department of Energy Secretary, Chris Wright using a law with for my understanding, dubious constitutional the constitution doesn't have an emergency clause, right?
• 44:15
  The rules of the constitution don't change simply because someone declares an emergency.
• 44:21
  Uh, and the federal government isn't authorized to regulate energy.
• 44:25
  So that little Department of Energy that Mr.
• 44:27
  Wright works for.
• 44:28
  Yeah.
• 44:28
  Um completely unconstitutional, which means the legislation that created it is null and void, meaning the Department of Energy doesn't legally exist, which means all the money we spend on it is embezzled from the American people.
• 44:41
  Oops.
• 44:43
  But he's the Secretary Wright has used the DPA, this unconstitutional act to justify violating the constitution and supersede state law.
• 44:52
  Because remember, only laws made pursuant to the constitution are supreme over state law.
• 44:58
  Just because Congress made the law doesn't make it doesn't supersede state law.
• 45:01
  But he's using this to restart these disputed pipelines.
• 45:06
  Now, uh again, this is a lot of things going in here.
• 45:12
  But again, the president's looking at it going, the United States has oil.
• 45:17
  And why can't we access our oil to use it?
• 45:20
  The state says no, we don't want to.
• 45:21
  And again, I haven't gotten deep into that into that specifics.
• 45:24
  So uh I'm not really sure where the things the things go to, but uh what I do see are some ethical violations.
• 45:32
  I see it probably on both sides, because I don't know why the state is interfering with the with the actions of a private entity that's trying to uh I think it was a sable offshore corporation that uh they they've drilled for this oil, they want to sell this oil, and the state says no, you can't sell this oil, primarily because we decided we don't like oil.
• 45:55
  Well, Chevron has announced that they're going to start buying 20,000 barrels of oil a day from Sable Offshore from these offshore platforms near Santa Barbara.
• 46:06
  Um, just after the Fed not the federal government approved the restart, but the state's still fighting it.
• 46:14
  So when I look at the ethics of this, um listen, if the people of California want to hire government of California that believes that um uh oil is bad, fossil fuels are bad, and it drives up the price, so be it.
• 46:34
  I mean, I don't really see the the issue of it.
• 46:36
  When it comes to the question of offshore oil, I don't know how far offshore these these platforms are, because that gets into a legal question of uh what's considered state versus federal uh territory.
• 46:52
  Again, a kind of constitutionally very interesting question, because there's nothing in the constitution that grants to the federal government the authority, the grants the United States, the authority to take over land just because it is so far away from ashore.
• 47:06
  No, that's not the way the constitution, that's not a power delegated to the United States.
• 47:11
  So you see, there's a lot going on in here.
• 47:14
  But again, if the people of California don't like oil and they're willing that then and they drive up the price, that's your fault.
• 47:21
  Uh, you don't come crying to me.
• 47:23
  I don't want to hear about it.
• 47:25
  You know, the price of oil is up.
• 47:27
  You that it yeah, it's up for everybody.
• 47:29
  It's just ridiculously high for you because of the policies put in place by the government, you elected.
• 47:35
  So, sorry.
• 47:37
  The ethics of the matter matter are cause and effect.
• 47:40
  You elected people that uh hate oil.
• 47:44
  That has led to the to you always having high gas prices.
• 47:48
  Just the fact that right now it's you know, it's up for everybody, you're just the worst.
• 47:53
  Well, that's nothing new.
• 47:54
  Like I said, for decades or more, the the California's or has had the highest or near highest price for decades.
• 48:02
  So that's the cause and the effect.
• 48:05
  And the ethics of it is if this was what California wants, that's what California gets.
• 48:11
  That's why I don't live in California.
• 48:14
  I live in Tennessee.
• 48:15
  By the way, not because of the gas prices, but because I'm tired of tyrants and and state houses telling me how to live my life.
• 48:23
  That's why I left New York.
• 48:25
  It's why I didn't go to California, so I ended up in Tennessee.
• 48:30
  Now, as far as the ethics of um, you know, the Department of Energy, like I said, it doesn't legally exist.
• 48:36
  It has no legal authority because the act that created it was not made uh pursuant of the constitution.
• 48:43
  And as Alexander Hamilton said, no act contrary to the constitution can be valid.
• 48:47
  That was from Federalist 78.
• 48:49
  By the way, that was confirmed by at least three support uh uh Supreme Court cases.
• 48:54
  Marbury versus Madison, uh ex parte seabold, Norton V Shelby County, all of them said that unconstitutional acts are void, which means the Department of Energy is void, which means Mr.
• 49:04
  Wright isn't the Secretary of the Department of Energy because the Department of Energy doesn't legally exist.
• 49:09
  It goes back to the ethics of people reading and studying the Constitution.
• 49:15
  Why?
• 49:15
  By knowing our rights will sooner perceive they're violated.
• 49:18
  That's what John Jay said.
• 49:20
  And he was right.
• 49:22
  See, the ethics of not bothering to to teach the Rising Generation be free, not bothering to educate ourselves is we're often led around by illegal actors doing illegal things that we don't even realize because we haven't bothered to educate ourselves.
• 49:42
  Now, what I find interesting is again, a lot of people argue well, you know, we need to get rid of fossil fuels because they're all going to die in climate change, global warming, and and all that.
• 49:51
  And yeah, the problem is they've got no evidence behind it.
• 49:54
  Their evidence is all manufactured because it hasn't proven to be true.
• 49:59
  All right.
• 50:00
  These claims that we were all going to die by the year 2000, by the year 2010, 2015, 2020, 25, none of them have come true.
• 50:08
  And when you find the people that are that are uh promoting the you know climate change is is real the most, are buying you know seashore properties, kind of proves they don't believe it because they're investing in property that they keep telling you is going to be underwater.
• 50:24
  On the other side, you've got uh, you know, government officials that, well, they're not following the law, they're not uh uh use, you know, doing the the ethical, the moral, the moral thing, because again, they're not following their oath to the constitution.
• 50:39
  What about the ethics of that?
• 50:42
  What about the ethics ethics of you and me rather than being dependent on what someone else tells us is true, finding out what is true for ourselves, especially when it comes to the Supreme Law of the Land.
• 50:54
  Isn't it interesting?
• 50:56
  I didn't have to study volumes and volumes and millions of words of content to recognize that the Department of Education doesn't really exist.
• 51:06
  I only needed to read a few words out of an 8,000-word document.
• 51:10
  Yeah, a document that takes most people 20 minutes to read.
• 51:14
  That's all I needed to know because it's the Supreme Law Land, to know when laws violate it.
• 51:20
  And that's all I really need.
• 51:22
  Which are the gives us back to the ethics of the Constitution, which is the federal government was created to serve the states, not to rule over the states.
• 51:31
  The federal government was given limited and enumerated powers, and that it was up to the states to defend themselves against an over-eager and overreaching federal government.
• 51:42
  And what about the ethics of we the people hiring people in our states to represent us that don't recognize that the states created the federal government, not the other way around.
• 51:54
  That the president is not hired by the people, but hired by the states to do the work of the federal government.
• 52:02
  Hence the the chief, the executive powers of the United States being vested in the present.
• 52:07
  What about the ethics of recognizing that courts have neither force nor will merely judgment, as Alexander Hamblin said?
• 52:15
  See, the ethics of being informed, help inform how we live our lives, help us decide how we respond to the things that are going on around us, help us to live free, which I think is what most of us would like to do.
• 52:32
  I think most of us would like to live at liberty, living our lives as we see fit without unnecessary external influence.
• 52:42
  Now, to get that, how do we how do we get that?
• 52:46
  I mean, I know John Jay said to read and study the constitution of our country, that it's our job to teach your eyes and generation to be free.
• 52:53
  I agree.
• 52:54
  I'm working very hard towards that.
• 52:56
  How can you do that?
• 52:57
  Well, all right, I've got an idea.
• 53:00
  It's actually an idea that I started uh almost seven years ago.
• 53:04
  It's my book called the Constitution Study.
• 53:06
  It is a it is a clause by clause study of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
• 53:11
  The Declaration of Independence turns 250 years old this year, but it's also the Constitution, clause by clause, written in plain conversational English.
• 53:19
  That's why the subtitle is returning the Constitution to We the People.
• 53:23
  It's recognizing that we not only can read and study the Constitution, understand it and apply it, but it's also saying that we should, we really need to.
• 53:34
  If we live wish to live free, if we wish to have liberty, we have to know the tools we have to defend that.
• 53:41
  And that's what the book is designed to do for individuals and small groups to read and study the constitution to help them teach others, including the rising generation, to be free, to recognize when their rights are violated, and to be prepared to defend and assert them.
• 53:56
  Now you can find a copy of those wherever books are sold, but you can also go to constitutionstudy.com slash shop, and you'll find it under the book section with the other books that I've written.
• 54:05
  Now, the advantage of buying it from Constitution Study is if you'd like a signed copy, well, I'd be more than happy to do that.
• 54:12
  You can find that there on the website, constitutionstudy.com slash shop.
• 54:15
  That's a constitution study store.
• 54:17
  Of course, you've got that book, you've got other books.
• 54:19
  I've got uh read the constitution in 30 days, a daily devotional to reading the constitution.
• 54:25
  Uh, very helpful for people who want to deal with the constitution in short bites or just want a uh a way to build a habit of reading the constitution.
• 54:33
  I've got uh uh how the 16th and 17th amendments destroyed the republic.
• 54:37
  The whole book and how those two amendments ratified in 1913 by our states literally dismantled the fundamental premise of our republic, that the federal government is a servant of the states, that they don't have in any the federal government should you shouldn't be dealing with the federal government unless you're in the military or you're dealing with the post office.
• 54:59
  That's the way that was set up.
• 55:00
  That got changed by the 16th and 17th Amendment, a fundamental change in the country.
• 55:05
  So again, you can find it at constitutionstudy.com slash shop.
