- 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.
- 0:30One of the advantages of the United States is the independence of our states.
- 0:36Remember, the states created the federal government, not the other way around.
- 0:41The problem is so much attention is focused on Washington, DC.
- 0:45We sometimes forget to look at what our states are actually doing.
- 0:48Hello there, everyday Americans.
- 0:50Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teach horizon generation be free.
- 0:56I'm glad you could join me today.
- 0:57You know, this this idea of federalism, which contrary to what some people say is not the power of the federal government, it's a federation of states, it's a conglomeration, a grouping of states into a union.
- 1:09And this has some tremendous advantages.
- 1:12It allows the states to be, well, laboratories of freedom.
- 1:17You think, you know, one state can try something and the other states can see how it works.
- 1:21And another state may try something different, and the states can see how they work.
- 1:25And then based on that information, they may modify how you know the different states modify how they do things.
- 1:30And of course, if you're talking about experimentation, but you got to talk about California.
- 1:36Now, I am old enough to remember when LA was literally smog central, when all the pictures of LA basically was just a smog basin.
- 1:46And um this is due in part because of the microclimate around Los Angeles tended to keep the smoke and smog settled into the city rather than in other places where it blows it away.
- 2:03Um, and because of this, well, California implemented some extremely strict uh regulations and attempt to deal with this smog.
- 2:13Uh a lot of it had to do with um with uh cars and gasoline formulations and emissions controls, and there was there's a lot of things that California tried, and some states looked at it and said that's a good idea.
- 2:26Some looked at it and say, yeah, maybe not.
- 2:31Now, one of the things California has expended experimented with very heavily is trying to get it rid away from fossil fuels.
- 2:39Uh now, as much as some people may hate the fact we are dependent on fossil fuels.
- 2:47All right, and there's a couple of good reasons.
- 2:49One is well, fossil fuels are very energy dense, meaning for a given given volume, a given weight, you can get more energy out of fossil fuels and pretty much any other type of energy, except possibly nuclear, which of course people are terrified of, thanks to well, some you know, three mile island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, people are terrified of it.
- 3:12Now, in pursuit of this vendetta against fossil fuels, California has implemented some policies that's led to, well, the closure of a lot of refineries.
- 3:25Um they don't have in-state capacity to produce fossil to take raw crude oil and turn into usual fuels.
- 3:34Um, they they've been very hostile to interstate pipelines to bring fuel into California, and their regulatory regime is well, to say strict would be a bit of an understatement.
- 3:47What this has led to is fuel that could have easily been sent to California is now going other places, which leads to an interesting report I just saw, and that um in order to get gasoline into California, right now the the gasoline has to take a detour, right?
- 4:09Because remember, they don't they won't refine it in California, they've gotten rid of almost all their refineries.
- 4:14I think there's a big one still in LA, but um, they've gotten rid of a lot of the refineries, they don't want pipelines, they don't want this fuel being uh brought in.
- 4:23So what do they do?
- 4:25They ship it in from the Bahamas.
- 4:30Now, if you can't see that in your the map in your mind, a little geography lesson.
- 4:34California is on the west coast of the uh North America, and the Bahamas is an island off of the eastern coast of Florida on the east coast of the the of North America.
- 4:49It takes more than 4,000 mile journey to get gasoline and and products into California.
- 4:57It's one of the reasons why California has some of the highest gasoline prices in the nation.
- 5:04I think the only state that routinely has higher gas prices is Hawaii, an island.
- 5:10So apparently, according to work, more than 40% of uh gasoline uh imported into California in November of last year, came via the Bahamas.
- 5:24And this is also that they can say, see, we don't we don't uh you know, we don't refine it here, we don't pump it in here.
- 5:30No, we're we we're gonna ship it in from through the Bahamas.
- 5:35So while you know, Governor Newsom and and and other legislators and politicians and punishment say, oh, look at how wonderful we are.
- 5:43We're we're trying to become carbon.
- 5:44It's a it's a lie.
- 5:46All this leads to, again, California consumers pay more for gasoline than almost any other state in the union.
- 5:53Uh California workers lose jobs because, well, when you shut down refineries, refinery workers don't have jobs.
- 6:00And all this in this, you know, this uh attempt to decrease uh uh carbon emissions, which don't fall at all because California is still burning fossil fuels, and it whatever whatever carbon footprint, quote unquote, they save through their regulations is lost in the ships that are taking this 4,000 plus mile journey to bring them the fossil fuels that they are just as dependent on as everybody else.
- 6:31As I heard one person describe it, this is not an energy transmission, I'm sorry, an energy transition, it is an engineered attempt to create scarcity, a deliberate attempt to create scarcity in the market to drive up prices, which punish families and small businesses in an attempt to live a life that California is trying to push them somewhere else, which they just it doesn't work.
- 6:55They can't they can try, but it just doesn't work.
- 6:58It literally is crippling California.
- 7:02Now, if that weren't bad enough, California is now considering a mileage tax.
- 7:09Now, uh again, California, part of the cost of fuel is not simply the cost of production, it's the fact that California has some of the highest taxes on gasoline in the country.
- 7:21Now, when I was a young man, I worked at a truck stop, and I remember our gas pumps out front, we had uh when you had the price, they had the breakdown, right?
- 7:31So you would walk into the pump and you could see this is what I'm paying for the gasoline, this is what I'm paying state taxes, federal tax, whatever.
- 7:37Uh, according to a report I just saw, um, when a California driver buys gasoline, they pay uh 91 cents per gallon in taxes and fees at the pump.
- 7:50There's a 61% state excise tax.
- 7:53These are state taxes, by the way.
- 7:55There's a an 18% federal excise tax.
- 8:00There's a $10, uh 10 cent a gallon sales tax and uh two cent a gallon underground storage fee, storage tank fee uh in the breakdown.
- 8:11This is according to the California Energy Commission.
- 8:13And in the midst of all this, California said, you know what, we're not sucking enough money out of our drivers.
- 8:20So what they want to do, or at least some some of their legs they want to do is is set up a mileage-based, they call it a fee.
- 8:28It's a tax, which generally, I guess would involve, you know, when you go to register your vehicle, you'd have to declare the mileage, and then when you renew, you'd have to pay a tax for however many miles you drove.
- 8:42Now, again, here in Tennessee, it's it's funny.
- 8:45When I moved here to Tennessee, I sat down with my my state uh rep and my state senator, brought my daughter along, because I wanted to learn what are the big issues that are being seen.
- 8:56I was new to Tennessee.
- 8:57What are their big issues?
- 8:58And one was interesting enough, their concern about gasoline taxes.
- 9:04And the anticipation that as people move towards more hybrid and electric vehicles, they'd be consuming less gas, there'd be less gas taxes to maintain the roads, and how do we do that?
- 9:14And of course, here in the county, there's always a discussion.
- 9:18Seems like every couple of years of a wheel tax, meaning you pay a tax uh for all the wheels on your vehicle.
- 9:24So if you got a car, you pay four units.
- 9:27If you've got a motorcyclist, two units, and it's a way to make money.
- 9:30That's really all it is.
- 9:32But this idea of of gasoline taxes and and funding roads is very important.
- 9:38But this idea of a mileage tax, um, because here's the interesting thing.
- 9:43So again, I live outside of Nashville.
- 9:46Nashville is a tourist destination.
- 9:49Meaning when people come to Tennessee, they come to visit Nashville.
- 9:54And you know, maybe they rent a car at the airport or they drive here when they buy gasoline here.
- 10:00Here, they pay gasoline taxes, which go to maintain our roads.
- 10:05Now, this idea of a move towards or to include a mileage tax means only people who actually register their vehicles in the state would be paying these taxes.
- 10:16One of the reasons why I think it's um I I think it's uh mileage taxes have a lot of problems in my point.
- 10:23One of which is uh you are a giving up, you're asking the people of the state to pay what could have been paid for by tourists, people coming through our state.
- 10:34You know, when I when I uh I had to drive here between Tennessee and New York a couple times.
- 10:40Back when I first moved here, I did it several times, and I bought gasoline along the way, meaning in every state I stopped to get gas.
- 10:46I paid gas taxes, gasoline taxes, which went to fund the maintaining of their roads.
- 10:51It seemed fair.
- 10:51I'm using their roads, I'm doing that.
- 10:53Now you're gonna have people coming using if this goes through.
- 10:57You're gonna have people using the roads in California, but only people who register their vehicles in California will be paying the tax.
- 11:05Doesn't seem like a great um, it doesn't seem like like a great solution.
- 11:09To me, it just seems like uh, hey, where can we get money?
- 11:13This is an idea.
- 11:14Now, as I understand it, uh Governor Newsom is opposed to this idea, which I find surprising.
- 11:19I mean, you talk about a uh happy surprise.
- 11:22A governor Newsom that isn't behind a tax.
- 11:27Wow, it was a big idea.
- 11:29But that is if that wasn't bad enough.
- 11:33There's now a representative in Congress, uh uh uh Kevin Kylie from California, and he wants to introduce legislation in an attempt to lower gas prices, especially in California.
- 11:48How does he plan to do that?
- 11:50Well, by withholding a federal bribe for states that impose high gas taxes.
- 11:55Oh, they don't call it a bribe, they call it federal funding, but it's a bribe.
- 11:59Because you look at the Constitution, Congress is not authorized to spend money to help states maintain their roads.
- 12:07So if you're saying we're going to uh uh uh give them money, Congress isn't authorized to spend, that's called embezzlement.
- 12:15And Mr.
- 12:16Kylie is showing how this is used as a bribe.
- 12:19Here, we will give you money.
- 12:20If you don't do what we like, we will take the money away.
- 12:23This is a bribe, this is extortion.
- 12:26But I'm not surprised because this is a representative of California.
- 12:29And of course, if you you know, what's the old saying?
- 12:31To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
- 12:33Well, apparently, to a member of the House of Representatives, um, everything it must be a federal problem to fix.
- 12:41California has high gas prices because the people of California hire people that have created high gas prices, and they've done nothing to fix it.
- 12:50That is California's problem.
- 12:54You want to stop giving cow, you want to stop giving states a federal funding for stuff that Congress is not authorized to spend on.
- 13:00I have no problem with that.
- 13:02You want to use it as a bribe to get your way?
- 13:05Yeah, I have a problem with that.
- 13:06This is again, and by the way, he's a Republican, Mr.
- 13:09Kylie.
- 13:09He's registered as a Republican.
- 13:11And he's using the federal government to strong arm California to lower their their gas taxes.
- 13:19It's none of the federal government's business what California's gas taxes are.
- 13:24Right?
- 13:24This is um, this is some of the worst uh dictatorial stuff we're seeing.
- 13:31We're going to bully you into doing what we want when it's none of Congress's business.
- 13:36None whatsoever.
- 13:37If the people of California don't pay high, don't like the high gas prices, hire people to cut the gas taxes.
- 13:43You know, when I lived in New York, I lived in New York most of my life.
- 13:46And high taxes were just the cost of living there.
- 13:50That's what the people were willing to pay to live in New York, within New York City or upstate New York where I lived most of my life.
- 13:56It was part of the deal.
- 13:59And um literally is the point now where I'm here in Tennessee.
- 14:02I I see people complaining about high property taxes, and I I simply can't join in.
- 14:08Not because I like paying property taxes, but it's a fraction of what I used to pay up in New York.
- 14:14But it's this idea that, oh no, the federal government's going to get in and we are going to blackmail a state to do what we want.
- 14:24Tell me this is not a mafia movie.
- 14:26Hey, we'll give you some money, we'll make your life easier.
- 14:30Oh, by the way, I'm gonna come and ask you for a favor.
- 14:33And you better not say no.
- 14:36Tell me that's not a mafia movie.
- 14:39And of course, we'll see what California does.
- 14:42This legislates just proposed legislation.
- 14:45But it, if you're from California and and Mr.
- 14:47Kylie is your uh is your representative, ask him, why is he blackmailing the state of California for something that's not the federal government's business?
- 14:56And in fact, something that the federal government is prohibited by the 10th Amendment from getting involved in.
- 15:04So what are we doing about it?
- 15:07Again, if you're in California, you don't like high gas prices, hire better people.
- 15:13If you're here in Tennessee or Kentucky or New York or whatever, and you don't like California's life gas prices, it's none of your darn business.
- 15:21Sit down, shut up, pay attention to what is your business.
- 15:25Do the job we hired you for, not playing these these political uh shenanigans.
- 15:31Now, if that were all that was going on in California, hey, that would be a good day, but it's not.
- 15:38But I've got to take a break before I get into that.
- 15:40I want to let you know though, what do I keep saying?
- 15:42Proper preparation prevents poor performance.
- 15:46It's being prepared for what's coming.

- 21:03Welcome back, everyday American jury.
- 21:06Join the Constitution study today.
- 21:08We're taking a look at what's going on in the states.
- 21:10We've been focusing so far on California.
- 21:13We talked about the problem with gas prices.
- 21:16We've talked about a California representative to the United States House of Representatives that actually wants to make federal law to help to force California to lower gas prices.
- 21:34But as I was going to break, I said there's more going on in California.
- 21:39Recently, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said they're making plans to sue the Trump administration over the CDC's modification of the childhood vaccine schedule.
- 21:55Now, I'm going to show this this there's more here probably that beats I, so stay with me.
- 22:01Back in January, the CDC, at the request of uh uh Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.
- 22:12looked at the number of vaccines that were recommended on the childhood schedule and turned several of them from recommended to a discussion, right?
- 22:22Meaning the the the patient or the patient's parents would discuss it with their doctor.
- 22:28Now remember, these are recommendations.
- 22:30These are supposed to be not legally binding at all.
- 22:34It's just a recommendation.
- 22:36Of course, the problem is there are several government entities, including public schools that use these recommendations as if they're law, even though they're not law.
- 22:45So what is California's beef with CDC moving some of these recommend these vaccines from recommended to discussion?
- 22:57I'd really like to know because to my knowledge, there is no legal binding to that California has to that schedule, except again, maybe schools.
- 23:11But again, these are supposed to be recommendations.
- 23:13These are not supposed to be written in law.
- 23:15So what law is he claiming that the CDC violated that he's going to sue?
- 23:21Now, California is not alone.
- 23:23And hang on with me a second.
- 23:24This is going to be in there's a district court in Boston that's looking at a case where the American Academy of Pediatrics, along with others, are suing for the same reason.
- 23:39They're saying, wait, that somehow the CDC acted criminally, that they created a grievance when they said, well, we're not going to recommend them.
- 23:50We're going to suggest that the parents talk to the doctors.
- 23:54Now, since it's an actual case has been filed, there's more details.
- 23:57And what they're the these plaintiffs are saying is that the CDC unlawful acted unlawfully when it reduced the number of routine of recommended vaccinations.
- 24:10Um from was it, I think it was 17 down to 11.
- 24:15Now, let me see if I can put these two together to make a little bit of sense.
- 24:19See, what we're seeing here, to me, this exposes the scam that the childhood vaccine schedule has become.
- 24:28Now, first of all, uh I've seen some research that's that says none of the vaccines on the schedule, or at least none of the ones that are given in the first six months of life, have actually been properly tested.
- 24:39They have not been through a randomized placebo controlled test.
- 24:44They are generally tested based on previous vaccines.
- 24:49And as one person, uh, I think it was Del Big Trade her describe it, it's like saying that whiskey doesn't get you uh uh doesn't uh lead to uh DUI because uh we compared whiskey to vodka and we saw no additional effects, so it couldn't be a problem.
- 25:08It's kind of that type of logic, right?
- 25:11You're you're you're testing against something that was again never tested.
- 25:15You go all the way back to the beginning, and apparently none of these have been, and these are based on FOIA requests from the CDC in the testing schedule.
- 25:25So there's problem number one.
- 25:28But what do we see here?
- 25:29We see, first of all, let's start with the state of California.
- 25:33Um these are recommendations, they are not legally binding.
- 25:39Now, if California wants to be continue to be the fascist dictatorial Marxist state that it has become to be, all they would have to do is say, well, we want to say that our schools, you must have the the CDC, you know, plus these five or six.
- 25:58We're going to say, you know, we're gonna put a more uh uh extra.
- 26:03Again, at least the state of California has the legal authority to do that.
- 26:08It's evil, it's criminal, and uh, but you know, it's at least within their powers as a state.
- 26:16But no, no, no, we want the federal government to do this for us.
- 26:19We want the federal government to tell us this.
- 26:21In other words, they don't view these apparently as recommendations, they view these as demands.
- 26:27A demand to continue to put untested chemicals in the arms of our children.
- 26:34Again, they weren't individually tested for safety.
- 26:36No one's tested them to see if in Moss there has a safety.
- 26:40And in fact, there was a um, there was a study done where uh at was it Ford Clinic, I think it was, that uh they refused to publish because it showed that the health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children showed that vaccinated children are more likely to get sick.
- 27:00And they decided, you know what, we don't want to publish this because apparently it doesn't meet our standards of you know promoting vaccines.
- 27:06That's my opinion, by the way.
- 27:08So we see California promoting these as this act as not a recommendation, but as a demand.
- 27:16And I'm still trying to figure out what California's gonna hang their hat on, and because there's they're still searching, but I'm trying to figure out you know, what's the big deal?
- 27:25California can follow these, they can make up their own.
- 27:28The the federal government has no legal authority to recommend anything to do to much less demand it.
- 27:36But this court in Boston got me thinking again because now what we're seeing is the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- 27:43Now, if their job is to, oh, I don't know, recommend an oversee pediatric pediatric treatment.
- 27:51Why would a recommendation now being let the parents talk to the doctor?
- 27:57Why is that in their mind unlawful?
- 28:01Could it be that there is some other things going on that as part of this promotion of these vaccines?
- 28:09Because here's the tricky part.
- 28:12The federal government has illegally claimed that you cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer for an injury caused by the vaccine.
- 28:21Congress passed a law.
- 28:23That law completely violates the First Amendment.
- 28:25It deprives you of a right to seek a reduce of grievance.
- 28:29And that is a violation.
- 28:30That means that law is unconstitutional and void.
- 28:33The fact that nobody has brought this up, I find fairly disturbing, but I'm kind of getting used to this type of nonsense and shenanigans.
- 28:42So we have now the state of California.
- 28:46I believe uh the state of Connecticut is also looking at similar uh legislation.
- 28:52You have uh the Academy of PD, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and I'm trying to figure out what is there, how are they harmed?
- 29:02How are they harmed by this change?
- 29:07Could it be that there's something more going on here?
- 29:11That the vaccine manufacturers are somehow um helping to fund the Americanity of pediatrics.
- 29:19Could it be that the members of this academy have been so brainwashed into the safety and efficacy of vaccines that have never been tested, never been proven that uh, you know, they they believe, well, the federal government says it's a recommendation, that means we must do it.
- 29:38Ladies and gentlemen, that's not freedom.
- 29:41That is uh uh the this I I want to follow these cases because to me it shows not only the capture of of our states, but of our the the entities that are supposed to be overseeing different medical.
- 29:56You know, they we have an American medical association, American Cat.
- 30:00To be a pediatrics of oncology so that doctors can oversee what doctors are doing.
- 30:04But if those entities are captured by another entity with a different agenda, ladies and gentlemen, where does that leave us?
- 30:14Well, I got one more thing I want you to consider, and that's the World Health Organization.
- 30:18Now remember, uh Donald Trump uh basically pulled us out of the WHO in large part because well, the WHO has no legal, they have no legal standing in the United States.
- 30:30Unless there is a treaty ratified by Congress, that is the law, not what it none of this other nonsense is the law.
- 30:37And of course, you saw a lot of the democratic politicians getting all bent out of shape.
- 30:42You had uh uh the state of Illinois and New York City claim that they were going to join this WHO network, this global out uh outbreak alert and response network.
- 30:55Uh again, federal government says we're not going to be part of this anymore.
- 30:59The states and cities and cities are saying that there's just again, one little itzy bitsy teeny weenie tiny problem with that.
- 31:06Legally, they can't.
- 31:10I point you to Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution, where clause three reads no state shall, without the consent of Congress, land any duty of tonnage, keep troops or ships of war in time of peace, or enter into any agreement or compact with another state or with a foreign power or engage in war unless actually invaded or in such imminent dangers may not admit delay.
- 31:33Are these states and cities not entering with a foreign power?
- 31:38I mean, the WHO may not be a state, they may not be a nation, but they are a foreign power.
- 31:46Don't they need the permission from Congress to join this uh this network to join with the WHO?
- 31:56Hmm.
- 31:57I it it it to me brings up a very serious constitutional question, but it also brings up something else.
- 32:04So we've seen, especially during COVID, that the WHO is an abject failure.
- 32:11Their recommendations didn't work.
- 32:13They were shown to be more about politics than medicine.
- 32:17This was the you know the same WHO that uh well basically did whatever communist China wanted them to do.
- 32:24And uh has it tried to take over the sovereign the sovereignty of every other nation?
- 32:31They wanted to have a treaty that people joined that said, listen, if we even declare a pandemic, we get to set all the rules.
- 32:39Your sovereignty is gone.
- 32:41The the WHO will take care of it, and now you have these states that want to join this this network.
- 32:49Um to basically turn their sovereignty over to another foreign entity.
- 32:56Now, again, as I understand that this this is more of an alerting function than anything else.
- 33:01But let me ask you if when you see such an abject failure, and you're do you really want your state joining in to this?
- 33:09I mean, you know, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
- 33:14So I have to ask you.
- 33:16If you live in New York City, California, Illinois, these other places that are that are looking at joining this.
- 33:22Is that really who you want to put in charge?
- 33:27A an organization that believes that what is that that states and nations don't have sovereignty, that the UN, with WHO's part of the UN, that they should rule over all of us.
- 33:42They should become the one ruler overall, the one the one government to rule them all, to paraphrase Lord of the Rings.
- 33:51Again, these are what our states are doing.
- 33:55And if you live in one of those states, what are you doing about it?
- 34:00Uh, it was just having a answering a comment from a uh useless that said, you know, well, there's so much corruption, there's nothing we can do.
- 34:07Well, that's the only way corruption works is when we do nothing.
- 34:10Who was it that said that all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing?
- 34:15It's time for the good men and women of these states to stand up and say, uh, no, we're not interested in joining this political hack super government that wants to take over our rights and our sovereignty.
- 34:27We're not interested.
- 34:28And if you're interested, you're not allowed to work for us.
- 34:31You were fired, and we'll find somebody else who will.
- 34:34I know it's hard.
- 34:35You know, it'd be it'd be easy if it was just everything were easy.
- 34:39But the things that are important are rarely easy, but they're worth the work, they're worth the effort.
- 34:45They're worth standing up and saying, No, you're not gonna sell my sovereignty for bull of pottage, which is effectively what this is.
- 34:55Because if there's one thing we've seen from not just a WHO, but other UN organizations is they like to come, oh, we're just gonna do this little thing, and it's not a big deal, and it's not really gonna hire.
- 35:05And then suddenly they start doing more and more and more.
- 35:10Suddenly they believe they have the right to set the rules for everybody.
- 35:14There's no treaty, this has no legal authority within the United States, and um, if again, Tennessee's not on the list.
- 35:22If it were, I'd be uh having serious conversations with the legislature, with the governor, with the attorney general, because I'm not willing to sell my sovereignty to others.
- 35:33But apparently these states are.
- 35:36I'm not at all surprised at New York City, isn't that leaving surprised that these states are, because these states have shown us that they are more they're led by communists and Marxists, and they just love one world government.
- 35:48They just love the the centralized everything and centralized planning.
- 35:53They just love it.
- 35:55Why wouldn't they want more?
- 35:57Is that what you want?
- 35:59Or have you been sold a bowl of pottage?
- 36:02Now, I've got some more ideas, some stuff I want to discuss coming up, but I have to take another break.
- 36:07But I want you to know, we've been talking about the states.
- 36:09There are a lot of entities in these states that are promoting these agendas that you know the the international organizations, the WHO, you know, you the you got to get your inject your kid with whatever the federal government says.
- 36:23There's a lot of organizations that are supporting those, and they get a lot of their money from the corporations we do business with.
- 36:30That's why there's several companies I won't do business with anymore.
- 36:33But I'm looking for companies that believe what I believe.
- 36:37Then I'm willing to support.
- 36:39One of them is Patriot Mobile.
- 36:40I joined them several years ago.
- 36:43Not because they're America's only Christian conservative wildness provider, not because you know they've they've got great 4G and 5G coverage and all the same networks and towers as major carriers, not even because their customer support is 100% U.S.
- 36:55based.
- 36:55I joined them for one reason and one reason only.
- 36:59They support organizations that are fighting for our rights, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, free of the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, free to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, to not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
- 37:14These are the people I want to support.
- 37:16By the way, they all support the sanctity of life, our veterans and the first responders.
- 37:20That's pretty good too.

- 41:01America Outlaw Doc News is that place to awaken your heart, soul, and mind to the outlook truth.
- 41:17Welcome back, everyday American Jeffrey.
- 41:19Join the Constitution today.
- 41:20Today we've been looking at, well, what's going on in our states?
- 41:25And we've looked at California, we looked at Illinois, been looking at a lot of things that are going on.
- 41:30But I got a couple more things I want to look at here.
- 41:33We're going to start in Massachusetts.
- 41:35Now, I lived most of my life, spitting distance from Massachusetts.
- 41:40I lived on the eastern side of New York, right where the New York State threw across the Mass Pike, if you're familiar with the area.
- 41:47And it was close enough that I did most of my shopping in Massachusetts.
- 41:51I did a lot of stuff in Massachusetts.
- 41:54And again, mostly because it was closer than the stores in New York.
- 41:58But an interesting study came out that looked at um, well, they claim that the high taxes in Massachusetts have been driving people out of the state.
- 42:10And they claim that the um the number of people leaving the state over the last five years has been over 180,000 more than people that have come to the state.
- 42:22Now again, Massachusetts has some real draws.
- 42:25There's some beautiful, I again, I lived near Western Massachusetts.
- 42:29You had the Berkshire Mountains.
- 42:30It was beautiful.
- 42:32Um, you know, we stand there.
- 42:33You go out east, you've got Boston and the Harbor and Cape Cod.
- 42:40There are a lot of beautiful places to go to Massachusetts.
- 42:44There are a lot of business areas in Massachusetts going to their new business.
- 42:48So why are people leaving?
- 42:50And yes, I believe high taxes is one of the reasons that people have been leaving Massachusetts.
- 42:57But is that really the primary reason?
- 42:59Is it the only reason?
- 43:01Now, according to a recently released port report from the Pioneer Institute, it's actually worse than that.
- 43:08Because not only have been people leaving, but the influx that have been replacing some of them are migrants.
- 43:18Now, uh you know, they've had the state has had a net gain of 230,000 migrants.
- 43:25Now, here's the question I have.
- 43:27How many of those migrants are actually here legally?
- 43:31In other words, has Cal has has Massachusetts been shedding uh educated and educated workforce for a less educated immigrant society, many of whom maybe may be here illegally.
- 43:44I don't have these actual numbers.
- 43:47See, uh, according to the this this report, um, that uh Massachusetts has been losing an educated working residents to other states, leaving this hollowed out area for workforce in their economy, and it's that vacuum has been filled by this influx of international migrants.
- 44:09Uh, according to uh the executive directors is when you pair that with the loss of private sector jobs, particularly in professional scientific and technical fields, it's clear we have serious work to do to reverse a flagging economy.
- 44:23In other words, Massachusetts policy, and I don't think it's just the high taxes.
- 44:29I think it's their sanctuary city status or sanctuary state status.
- 44:34I think there's it's their regulatory status that leads to people with means fleeing the state, and that vacuum is filled in part by people who are again international immigrants, and I believe some percentage of them, I don't know how much, are probably not here legally, which creates an entire underground society and economy that um that uh Massachusetts is going to have a hard time dealing with.
- 45:05This is what's going on in in Massachusetts.
- 45:09Let me go back to New York City for a while, because there's another problem we have with Mondami.
- 45:13We talked about uh I mentioned, I should say mentioned that they're one of the entities looking to uh join the WHO's, you know, pandemic scam.
- 45:24Uh again, I lived in New York City as a small child until he was about 11 years old.
- 45:29I lived in upstate New York all my life, and one of the facts of life in living in New York State and New York City is winter.
- 45:37It's gonna get cold and there's gonna be snow.
- 45:40It's it's a fact of life.
- 45:43Now, what's interesting is how the Mondami administration has tried to deal with um homelessness with the with this winter.
- 45:57Uh, for example, the recent uh really cold snap, the really uh bad one.
- 46:02Um 18 people died on New York City streets.
- 46:08Uh by the beginning of February, the city's death toll from cold exposure is greater than many, many, many years.
- 46:16Is it it was hitting records?
- 46:19Now, in January, the city opened uh extra shelters and warming stations, and they even went so far as to provide outreach and transportation to shelters.
- 46:30But here's the interesting thing.
- 46:31I was reading this on the Daily Signal, and I want you to listen to this quote from the author, uh Rachel Scheffeld.
- 46:38She said, um, for weeks, Mondami, he said, yet for weeks, Mandami refused to make people get off the streets and go to the shelters, even as a death toll climbed.
- 46:51Now, this to me is again, I am no fan of Zoran Mandami, but I think this charge is really cruel.
- 47:02Because you're saying, you know what?
- 47:04People don't have a responsibility.
- 47:06The government should force people off the street for their own good.
- 47:12That, Miss Sheffield is um the definition of tyranny.
- 47:17Now, listen, I don't want people dying in the cold on the streets.
- 47:21You I think there should be plenty of charities and and churches that allow, again, shelter, warming stations, places they can go, places to help that.
- 47:31But to say you want to force people to do this shows a complete lack of consideration for the freedom of people to do stupid things.
- 47:43I'd ask Miss Sheffield, uh, uh, let's say that there's something some government doesn't like that you do.
- 47:49They think it's stupid.
- 47:50Uh, I don't know, maybe it's, I don't know if you have children, maybe it's how you raise your children, maybe it's how you do business.
- 47:56I don't know.
- 47:56Whatever it is.
- 47:57Should they be able to come in and force you to do things the way they want you to do them?
- 48:02Maybe they should force you to not drive a car because you could get killed.
- 48:07I I bring this up a bit of hyperbole, but I want you to consider.
- 48:12Yes, you know, uh New York City has a problem.
- 48:15They have a homeless problem.
- 48:16They've always had a homeless problem.
- 48:18And you can to use uh an adage, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
- 48:25You can open these warming shelters, you can open the these warming stations.
- 48:30To force people to go there is a deprivation of liberty without due process of law.
- 48:35It's actually a violation of the 14th Amendment.
- 48:38Now, I'll give Miss Sheffield the benefit of the doubt.
- 48:41She's concerned about people dying, and that probably meant she may not have considered entirely that particular statement.
- 48:50But again, you look at New York City, they in, you know, where you've got homeless, and again, several of their policies make it easy to be homeless.
- 48:59Uh, who was it that said the best way to deal with poverty to make the poor uncomfortable in their poverty?
- 49:06I I, you know, there again, of all the problems in New York City.
- 49:11To look at this and say, well, he should have forced people off the street.
- 49:15Not my idea of freedom and liberty.
- 49:19One more stop.
- 49:20Let's head over back to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
- 49:22I know I haven't been there for a while.
- 49:24I got tired of covering all the craziness thing, but one of the things that happened during the this was the infamous um church invasion, uh, where demonstrators came in and illegally entered a church, refused to leave, disrupted the service.
- 49:41And of course, this all involved included Don Lemon, uh, who was charged with uh um trespass or some other uh no, they they used the face act and unconstitutional law.
- 49:54And he was found not guilty, you know.
- 49:56Oh, boy, he wasn't involved.
- 49:57Here's the interesting thing.
- 49:59Now
- 50:00Apparently.
- 50:01Weeks later, the pastor of City's Church, uh, in describing what had gone on, he said, he told um, I told him plainly, I believe him being Don Lemon, that we had gathered to worship Jesus and that he should leave.
- 50:15He did not leave.
- 50:17He was in on the terror.
- 50:18He continued to accost members of our congregation, eventually moving outdoors, but still on our property.
- 50:25Now, I bring this up because again, Minnesota Minneapolis has had an issue with dealing with how do I put this?
- 50:33Um criminal demonstrations.
- 50:36By that I mean demonstrations that go beyond the the you know peaceful gatherings and that violate the law, including, by the way, trespass laws.
- 50:44See if the pastor, who is an agent of the church, told him to leave and told Mr.
- 50:50Lemon to leave and he did not leave.
- 50:53That was criminal trespass.
- 50:55If he did not move to leave.
- 50:59But tell me, did the DA of Minneapolis seek charges after these people who are trespassing on private property?
- 51:06I don't think so.
- 51:08And are the people of Minneapolis okay with that?
- 51:13Because that's why I say, you know, we we spend so much time focused on Washington, DC.
- 51:19It's in the news, it's on our social media feeds.
- 51:24Everything seems to focus on DC.
- 51:26And we forget that not only are states just as likely to infringe our rights, they're more able to infringe on our rights legally, or I should say extra legally than than the federal government.
- 51:38They have more opportunity.
- 51:40There are more powers delegated to the states than there are to the federal government.
- 51:44Therefore, more opportunity for them to abuse those by creating laws that violate the state constitution and the federal constitution.
- 51:53So maybe we should spend a little bit more time paying attention to what is going on in our states, and more importantly, pay a lot more attention to the people we hire to do our work in state government.
- 52:09Our representatives, our governors, any elected position, and the people who they hire, they should be overseen as well.
- 52:19We talk about, I talk about sheriffs here, the chief law enforcement officer in the county.
- 52:24That's an elected position.
- 52:26But what about his deputies or her deputies?
- 52:30Are we watching those as well?
- 52:32Are we holding them accountable?
- 52:34I had uh uh I told I talked about this before.
- 52:37I had a lunch with a candidate for uh sheriff in my county, and we spent a lot of time talking about how he has dealt with um situations, how he has upheld his oath to support the constitution when it was hard, when it was difficult.
- 52:57It wasn't a popularity contest.
- 53:00You know, it was this is a person that's going to have tremendous power and sway in the county should he win.
- 53:06And I want to understand the character of that person.
- 53:10Because I understand I cannot fix the federal government.
- 53:14I can't even fix our state government.
- 53:16But you know what I can do?
- 53:18I can help to fix what goes on in our county.
- 53:21And of course, if I fix what's going on in our county, or at least I help fix what's going on, that's how it's going to have a greater influence on the state of Tennessee.
- 53:29And if I'm doing this here in my county and neighbors are doing it in their county, then we can change what's going on in our state government.
- 53:37And by extension, we get enough states involved.
- 53:40Well, then I contend the federal government will simply take care of itself.
- 53:45We need to spend more time focused on the states.
- 53:48I don't say we ignore the federal government, but we need to spend at least as much time, if not more, looking at what's going on in our state and local governments and making sure that we are not only holding them accountable, but being involved with what's going on.
- 54:04They should your representatives should not be surprised to hear from you, at least at the state and local level.
- 54:11Yeah, it's kind of hard at the federal.
- 54:12I mean, let's face it, a member of the House of Representatives averages six, 750,000 people they represent.
- 54:18You're not going to know everybody's name.
- 54:19You're not going to know anybody's face.
- 54:21But we focus on what's going on in our state and local governments.
- 54:25And that sets the foundations for ethics in our state government and our federal government.
- 54:33And isn't that really what we would like?
- 54:37That's something I would like.
- 54:39Now, I hope you like this enough.
- 54:42And if there, there's a group of people that are really want to go deeper.
- 54:45Most people I talk to have a passing interest.
- 54:47You know, oh, I you study the constitution.
- 54:49Oh, that's interesting.
- 54:50There are some people that are they're more focused.
- 54:53They want to go deeper.
- 54:54That's what I created the Patriots program for.
- 54:58For people who really wanted to be deep involved in this.
- 55:01It has three pillars, right?
- 55:03You've got education.
- 55:03I want us to be really studied in the Constitution of the United States and in the constitution of our state.
- 55:09There's communication.
- 55:11I want to know what's going on.
- 55:12I'm not trying to replace local patriot groups.
- 55:14I'm trying to give them tools and resources.
- 55:17So if I know something's going on in other state or so, or if a state can ask for assistance, or I know there's an event, maybe a meeting or a committee hearing.
- 55:27I'd love to know that without worrying about the censors coming after us.
- 55:31And of course, most importantly, active, my minute men and women.
- 55:40You know, hey, you got a press conference.
- 55:42Let's be there.
- 55:42You've got a committee hearing.
- 55:44You got somebody that has a question that that's ready to answer, to be involved, to be engaged.
- 55:49If that sounds interesting, you need to find out more because this isn't for everybody.
- 55:54Patriot program is invitation only.
- 55:57Go to Constitution Study.com/slash patriots and read up on it.
- 56:01See what's involved.
- 56:02Take the boot camp.
- 56:03You're not going to get an invitation to pass the boot camp.
- 56:05It's about an hour video, by the way.
- 56:07If you'd like me to come do it at your place, if we can work out the travel of the living, I'd be more than happy to.
- 56:13But uh you pass the test and you take an oath.
- 56:17A solemn promise that you're going to work to defend the rights of your not only yourself and your family, but of others.
- 56:24You do that, you'll likely get an invitation to come join us at the Patriots program.
- 56:28But it starts by going to Constitution Study.com/slash Patriots, learn about the program.
- 56:33And if you're interested, if you'd like to try, take the boot camp and then we'll see how things go.
- 56:38Now, I also hope you come back and join us here for the Constitution Study every weekday at 4 p.m.
