  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.
• 0:30
  The United States and each of the several states is a republic.
• 0:35
  That means that we, the people, hire people to represent us, to serve us.
• 0:41
  But what happens when the agenda of government diverts from the will of the people?
• 0:47
  Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engler with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teacherizing generation be free.
• 0:53
  I'm glad you could join me today because I think this is an important topic.
• 0:57
  Um we often talk, of course, the United States is often referred to as a democracy where the will of the people rules everything.
• 1:06
  But it's a republic.
• 1:08
  And because of that, well, we hire people to represent us, but we're also a constitutional republic, meaning the representatives are bound, they're limited by a document that we have approved to say this is the powers with within within which you can you can operate.
• 1:25
  But when we look at the fact that that you know our agendas diverge, right?
• 1:30
  When the agenda of government diverges from the agenda of the people, what do we do?
• 1:36
  Now you have to understand, you're never going to get everything you want, right?
• 1:40
  The republic in any society is a list of compromises.
• 1:45
  Now, a good compromise is when nobody gets what they want, but everybody can live with the result.
• 1:51
  But we don't always, we don't always get that.
• 1:53
  We are always striving to get what we want.
• 1:55
  And just again, just because you don't get what you want doesn't mean it was unfair or unjust or you know, unamerican.
• 2:03
  It just means you haven't convinced enough people that you're right.
• 2:08
  And again, we're dealing with government where it's not simply can you convince people that you're right, it has to be done within the bounds of the constitution.
• 2:17
  And well, let's just say sometimes these debates they get a little spicy, they get a little uh uh uh forceful, they get a little crazy, but they're all things I want to take some time today and look at.
• 2:30
  I'm gonna actually start with a with a judge in the Ninth Circuit.
• 2:36
  Now, sometimes I like to refer to them as the Ninth Circus because although they're getting a little better, some of their decisions just you know they look like a three-ring circus.
• 2:45
  And here's an example.
• 2:47
  So the the Ninth Circuit uh decided a case to force a a female only, a nude, the female own only Korean spa to admit men in the name of trans rights.
• 3:03
  Now, again, the the Olympus spa, which is owned by Christians, is a traditional Korean women-only nude spa, right?
• 3:13
  And and uh again, they they they and their employees, well, their clients, they don't want men in their spa.
• 3:23
  But you see, the state of Washington insists that you must allow men into your spa.
• 3:30
  Now, this is this is unconstitutional in so many ways.
• 3:34
  Let's start with the basic concept of property rights.
• 3:37
  See, this is not public property.
• 3:40
  Simply because you open a business to the public doesn't mean you give up your property rights, meaning the owner has the right to set standards for people that use their service.
• 3:51
  You don't have a right to go into a nude female only spa.
• 3:56
  You don't.
• 3:57
  That is their property, they get to decide.
• 4:00
  But the state of Washington, like so many of these other Marxist states, said no, no, no, no.
• 4:04
  If you even open the door to the public, we get to tell you what to do about it.
• 4:09
  And then you have this again, these are the same people that don't understand that this gender dysphoria is a mental disorder, and that trans people don't have independent rights.
• 4:20
  You don't get special rights because you're trans.
• 4:22
  By the way, you shouldn't get special rights because you're a homosexual, or because you're black, or because you know you have pink hair.
• 4:29
  It it you're supposed to have rights because you're a human being.
• 4:32
  But believe it or not, this decision by the Ninth Circus that a private company must allow men into a women-only spa because some idiots think they're the men think they're women, is not the part that got my attention.
• 4:48
  Believe it or not, it was the writings of one of the dissenting judges, a Lawrence Van Dyck.
• 4:56
  And I I gotta read this to you, but hang on to your hats.
• 5:02
  He said, You may think that swinging blank shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion.
• 5:08
  You're not wrong.
• 5:10
  But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we can all agree that it's far more jarring for the unsuspected and exposed women at Olympus Spa, some as young as 13, to be visually assaulted by the real thing.
• 5:30
  Wow.
• 5:32
  Now that's certainly not language I would use.
• 5:35
  And yes, I did bleep out one word, which you can probably guess what it was.
• 5:40
  But this dissent, this was such an in-your-face to what are you people thinking that the agenda of government has so diverged itself from the agenda of the people, the majority of the people that you're telling people that they must be exposed to swinging blanks simply because the government says so.
• 6:02
  Now, the other thing that caught my attention, that was like shot number one.
• 6:06
  Shot number two is the reaction of other judges.
• 6:10
  According to a Reuters report says U.S.
• 6:14
  judge condemns Trump appointees vulgar bathroom barroom talk in their transgender bias case.
• 6:21
  Well, the vulgar barroom talk is exactly the is not the it's not the talk, it's what the talk is pointing out.
• 6:29
  That's truly the problem.
• 6:30
  And that is you have a private company that has runs a women's only spa, and the government claims that no, you you have to let people in that you don't want because we say so.
• 6:47
  Now, apparently another judge uh in a in a report got was quoted as saying that language makes us sound like juveniles, not judges, and undermines public trust in the courts.
• 6:58
  The lead descent's use of such coarse language and invectives may make for publicity or entertainment value, but it has no place in the judicial opinion.
• 7:08
  Well, I'm I'm sorry, and this is from a senior judge, a Margaret McCoan.
• 7:12
  Uh sorry, but the language is just showing the idiocy of your own of the opinion.
• 7:20
  All right, that you're saying that that you know you don't like the language.
• 7:23
  Well, that's what imagine the women in that spa being exposed to that because you're more interested in the government's position than you are in reality than in protecting people's rights.
• 7:38
  So while the case shows the divergence of uh uh the government's position, because remember, courts are government, they're a government agent, a government branch.
• 7:48
  Their divergence from we the people, sometimes it takes that slap in the face.
• 7:54
  That use of a vulgar term in order to point out just how ridiculous and stupid the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals is.
• 8:04
  They uh really they should be showing up with big red noses and big floppy feet and funny hair.
• 8:09
  It's a circus, it's ridiculous.
• 8:12
  And uh the fact that it took one of their own being vulgar to get the point across really shows just how out of it the judges are.
• 8:23
  They ignore the law and they simply make up their own agenda based on well, let's face it, politics and government.
• 8:31
  Now, compare that with uh my new home state of Tennessee.
• 8:35
  Moved here was almost 11 years ago.
• 8:37
  Now the time flies.
• 8:39
  The volunteer state, and I love it here.
• 8:42
  And one of the reasons I loved it here is the Tennessee State House recently passed a bill that would prevent the state's Medicare program from covering gender transition uh procedures for minors.
• 8:54
  And by the way, it wasn't a close call.
• 8:57
  The House voted 73 to 14 to pass this bill.
• 9:01
  Now, under this bill, HB 2498, 10 care, Tennessee's Medicare program would not be able to cover or reimburse medical procedures if they perform medical procedures to assist someone to identify with a gender different than their biological sex and treat distress caused by a mismatch between a person's biological sex and gender identity.
• 9:23
  This is what is commonly referred to as gender affirming care.
• 9:26
  It's actually gender denying care.
• 9:29
  But again, here in the state of Tennessee, at least half, at least the House of part of our legislature has voted to say, no, we are not paying for this elective treatment, and especially elective surgeries, uh these are at least elective procedures um from for minors.
• 9:50
  By the way, this proceed these procedures include surgically removing, modifying, altering, or entering into tissues, cavities, or organs of.
• 10:00
  The human being and prescribing, administering, or dispensing any puberty blocker or hormone to a human being.
• 10:06
  Because contrary to what many in government would like to tell you, these are not medically necessary.
• 10:14
  All right.
• 10:14
  No one's gonna die if they don't get these treatments, especially to a minor.
• 10:19
  Now, they also provide, by the way, this law provides that if it is medically necessary to treat a congenital defect, uh a precocious perputed uh puberty disease or physical injury.
• 10:34
  Meaning, yes, if there's a medical reason for it, uh a defect, an injury, or what they refer to as precocious puberty, which I remember reading about that.
• 10:44
  I don't remember the details of it at this point, but it's the idea of when when puberty kind of goes out of control, then you've got a medical condition, and you can still be treated from that under Medicare under the sink.
• 10:57
  But again, this is only dealing with Medicare, meaning what the state, what we, the taxpayers and the state of Tennessee, what we will pay for.
• 11:06
  So on the West Coast, you have listen, um, you you have to take a, you know, we're gonna take away your private property rights.
• 11:15
  We're gonna say you have to allow men into your women's only um uh spa.
• 11:20
  Forget the nude, forget the Korean.
• 11:22
  You have a women's only spa, privately owned property, and the state trying to tell them you have to, you don't own your property.
• 11:28
  We'll tell you who can and cannot use your your your private property.
• 11:33
  Yeah.
• 11:33
  Here in Tennessee, we say, listen, we're not gonna pay for it.
• 11:37
  They didn't say you couldn't do it, but they said Medicaid's not going to pay for it, at least when it comes to minors.
• 11:44
  Now remember, last year the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee state law that banned agenda transition procedures for minors.
• 11:54
  So they're already not allowed in the state.
• 11:57
  Now the state's saying, well, you know what, we're not gonna pay for them either, which I find interesting.
• 12:03
  Um, but again, it's it's this is politics, right?
• 12:08
  This is the government's agenda saying we've don't put one nail in the coffin when you can put two.
• 12:13
  That's kind of the way I see this rolling forward.
• 12:17
  But what we see are two drastically different opinions about government power.
• 12:24
  Uh uh, I shouldn't say drastically different.
• 12:27
  We see two different examples of the application of government power.
• 12:32
  One to infringe on people's rights, private property rights, the other to say, you know what, we're not gonna pay for this.
• 12:42
  We've already said you can't do it.
• 12:44
  Now we're not gonna pay for it.
• 12:47
  And uh one involves forcing people to do something against their will.
• 12:52
  This one saying, no, we're we're not going to let you force other people to do things against their will.
• 12:58
  We're not gonna pay for something that the majority of the people say is not a medical condition.
• 13:04
  It's uh it's a psychological condition.
• 13:07
  Now, I'm sure I'm gonna get a lot of pushback, hate mail, people mad at me for this, but that's okay.
• 13:12
  Because I'm not worried about that.
• 13:14
  I'm worried about telling the truth.
• 13:15
  And the truth is, in one scenario, in the state of Washington, you have the state imposing government agenda on individuals.
• 13:23
  Here in Tennessee, we have the state protecting the the preferences of the majority of the people of the state.
• 13:31
  We don't want to pay for these types of surgeries.
• 13:34
  We don't want to be forced to pay for them, and the state legislature is working towards that.
• 13:38
  This is after they passed a law that said, listen, if you're a minor, you don't get these treatments.
• 13:44
  You don't, we we're not going to help you, not in this state.
• 13:48
  And of course, I was very, I was kind of concerned about that because you've got parents' rights, and I'm, you know, all about parents' rights, but then do the parents have the right to physically harm the child?
• 13:59
  Which we've seen.
• 14:00
  These these puberty blockers and hormone cross-sex hormones and certainly the surgeries harm these children.
• 14:07
  And there's plenty of evidence, even the recent case where uh uh a young girl got uh two million dollar malpractice suit against her doctor for not only transitioning her, but she says coercing her and her parents into the into this transition under the lie of well, you know, you can have a um you can have a live son or a dead daughter.
• 14:32
  Yeah, that's kind of messed up.
• 14:34
  So those are the types of things that we're people are being protected from.
• 14:38
  Now, I have more examples of we'll just say government agenda diverting itself from we the people, our agenda, and uh I'll get to those.
• 14:48
  But before I do that, uh I have to take a break.
• 14:51
  And I want to let you know that it looks like I'm gonna be in Eustace, Florida on May 16th.
• 14:57
  I've been invited uh by the Constitution Party of Florida, the Lake County chapter, to be their keynote speaker at their Constitution Day Banquet.
• 15:05
  That'll be Saturday, May 16th, um, 5 p.m.
• 15:08
  Eustace, Florida.
• 15:10
  Uh, I'm still looking for resources to let you know to get more details.
• 15:13
  I will let you know.
• 15:14
  But if you're in that area, if you're in the US Florida erata, uh, keep your ears open.
• 15:19
  I'll give you more details as we finalize everything that's going on.
• 15:23
  But I'd love to meet you there.
• 15:24
  I'd love to shake your hand and see what you think about the program and and the content I cover and what you think about the constitution study as a whole.
• 15:33
  Uh, you know, it's it's easy to get isolated here as I do most of my work from uh uh behind the desk.
• 15:39
  I'd love to reach to meet you to talk to you and get to know you a little better.
• 15:43
  So again, we'll be in in Eustace, Florida, uh Saturday, May 16th.
• 15:49
  Think starts at 5 p.m.
• 15:50
  Eastern time.
• 15:51
  This is for the Constitution Port Party of Florida's uh uh Constitution Day Banquet for their Lake County chapter, and I hope to see you there.
• 16:00
  Now, one other thing you need to consider, and again, you know, for some reason, my wife wants me to eat better.
• 16:06
  I know that's quite common, right?
• 16:07
  We men, we our wives want to, for some reason, she wants to keep me around for a while.
• 16:11
  Not entirely sure why.
• 16:13
  But one of the things we found is that a lot of the nutrients we used to get from our food, well, it's been farmed out.
• 16:20
  So it can lead to things like you know, low energy, uh uh, you know, uh sugar, caffeine issues, uh, even uh um other gastrointestinal issues.
• 16:32
  Now, a lot of people I know, they take supplements.
• 16:35
  And uh, I know a lot of people they don't like to take the pills and all that.
• 16:38

  Welcome back, everyday Americans you rejoin the Constitution study.
• 20:32
  And today we've been talking about we the people versus government when the agenda of government diverts from the will of the people, what happens?
• 20:42
  Now we live in a republic, not a democracy.
• 20:47
  That means the will of the people is not paramount, right?
• 20:51
  It's bounded.
• 20:53
  It's it's restricted by the Constitution of the United States, a constitutional republic.
• 20:59
  But when we the people express ideas that are within the bounds of the Constitution, well, that should be an important clue.
• 21:07
  So when I see a poll, uh, this one's promising presented by real America votes, uh, real American voice, sorry, the that they say that 66% of all Americans want mass deportations.
• 21:19
  Well, the first thing I want to do is I want to look at the I want to look at that poll because how you ask the question is truly important.
• 21:26
  But I would grant that I would not be surprised that a vast majority of the American people are so fed up with the illegal immigrants, they're ready to see mass deportations.
• 21:36
  Now, that does not mean that people's rights need to be infringed, right?
• 21:39
  Because in this country, you're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
• 21:42
  You you know, the people do get due process, whether they're citizens or not.
• 21:47
  Uh, I think generally we misunderstand what due process is, but that's uh that's uh another issue.
• 21:53
  But if this poll is correct, and two-thirds of Americans are had enough with with uh illegal immigration to the point of willing to deep mass deportation of illegal immigrants, well, that to me brings in an interesting question.
• 22:11
  What is the uh the divergence between government's position on illegal immigration and the people's position on illegal immigration, and um what are the the legal, the constitutional bounds for that?
• 22:28
  So I let me take a look at some stories that may that that look at at the difference here.
• 22:33
  For one of those, we're back in Tennessee, and uh the both chambers of our General Assembly have advanced legislation that would put some requirements on our transportation system.
• 22:46
  One is it would require a person be proficient in the English language before they can get a full driver's license.
• 22:56
  Now, in Tennessee, we have a couple of different licenses.
• 22:59
  You've got a full driver's license, you have an a um an intermediate driver's license.
• 23:06
  And again, I went to the source, I went to the legislation, and uh it base says, yeah, you know, in order to, if you're an applicant for a driver's license, uh full driver's license, intermediate driver's license, and you're unable to speak or and read the English language, you can be administered the written examination in a language other than English.
• 23:26
  However, your license will have restrictions on it.
• 23:30
  It'll be restricted and not licensed, and it will not be renewable.
• 23:34
  It'll be valid for only one year, and um it can only be used limited purposes for traveling to and from education during the institution's regular hours.
• 23:47
  The idea is kind of it it's a it's an interesting compromise, right?
• 23:51
  So the idea is if you can't read and speak English, um, you can't get a driver's license, a real driver's license.
• 23:58
  But what if you need one in order to go to, I don't know, English is a second language classes.
• 24:02
  What if you're uh trying to get a permanent residency or citizenship and you're trying to, well, okay, you get a restricted license.
• 24:10
  It's only valid for a year, and it's basically there for you to go back and forth to the to an educational institution to get the skills you need in order to be able to be proficient in English to get a full driver's license.
• 24:22
  So I that one I thought was was an interesting solution to the question of uh, you know, people who are on our roads that don't speak, they can't read English because our signs are in English.
• 24:34
  Now, I remember decades ago, we went to these pictorial signs like they have in Europe for people who uh uh allegedly for people who are illiterate, but a lot of those signs are still in English.
• 24:46
  And if you can't read them, uh you're not necessarily that brings up some safety concerns.
• 24:52
  There's another interesting twist of this legislation, though.
• 24:54
  Uh at least it was interesting to me.
• 24:56
  By the way, I'm looking at HB 1708, it's the House version of this bill.
• 25:01
  And that is in order to register a vehicle in the state of Tennessee, should this get signed into law, you would need to prove that you're either a citizen of the United States, a lawful permanent residence, or a person who is legally authorized to be in the United States.
• 25:19
  That's to register a vehicle, meaning, right?
• 25:22
  Now I'm I'm I'm if I buy a vehicle and I want to register this vehicle, I'd have to prove that I'm here legally.
• 25:29
  Now, it's interesting because when I first read the article about it in in the Tennessee Star, they said, listen, you must be a citizen to register a vehicle.
• 25:38
  Since they literally say require proof of citizens to register citizenship to register a vehicle, which is why I went to the horse's mouth, the original sources, not the other end, and said, No, you don't have to be a citizen as long as you're a legal permanent resident, as long as you're here legally, you can register a vehicle in the state of Tennessee should this legislation become law.
• 26:00
  So this again, we bring into the question of immigration, legal and illegal.
• 26:07
  And of course, the previous administration, their view of uh immigration was vastly different from the vast majority of the American people.
• 26:15
  Let everybody and open doors wide, invite people in, encourage people in, forget flout the laws, we don't care, we're gonna pretend to give you amnesty and and uh you know, we're gonna transport you all over the country.
• 26:28
  That was their view, and it created a lot of havoc.
• 26:32
  Now, this administration's view still differs from a lot of the American people, maybe not as much as the previous administration.
• 26:39
  But again, this idea of enforcing the law, finding people who are illegally and deporting them has um well, let's just say it has its detractors, uh, not and not just uh amongst the the political types.
• 26:53
  People are not happy with that.
• 26:55
  But if I go back to that uh uh poll I told you, if that is correct, if the idea of deporting uh mass deportation of people, then maybe this isn't as as far-fetched from the American people uh from the will of the American people as some might lead you to believe.
• 27:15
  But we have to remember governments in the governments in this country are constricted by the constitutions, the constitution that created them, and of course the United States Constitution over all of them, meaning if people are to be deported, they must have due process.
• 27:31
  Now, due process does not mean endless appeals up to the Supreme Court.
• 27:36
  Due process is defined as a governmental or judicial process designed to protect the rights of the individual.
• 27:43
  Meaning the government must show that they are in the country illegally before they can be deported.
• 27:50
  If the government can show that they're, you know, oh well, they here's their visa, it expired on this date, they're still here.
• 27:57
  That's proof, that's due process.
• 28:00
  Right?
• 28:01
  Unless they've shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is here in this country illegally, therefore they can be deport deported.
• 28:09
  This is part of the problem we've run into is this this misunderstanding about uh um about due process when it comes to illegal immigrants.
• 28:19
  Now, again, sometimes it's getting people out, sometimes it's the way we've let people in.
• 28:26
  Uh, there are right now two people and two uh business entities that are under federal indictment in the Dallas area with charges of visa fraud and conspiracy to default defraud the United States, money laundering and a regal conspiracy.
• 28:42
  Uh the allegations were unsealed last year, and they've kicked off a uh a big controversy about H1B visas across North Texas.
• 28:51
  See what this this group was were these are visa consulting operations.
• 28:56
  Again, I've worked for major corporations, and those corporations have used H1B visas to bring in uh foreign nationals to fill certain jobs.
• 29:06
  And of course, part of the requirement is you have to have an employer that sponsors you that employer must swear that they can't find someone in the United States to do the job.
• 29:14
  There's a whole bunch of hoops to jump through.
• 29:17
  And according to the allegations, what this group would do is they would use phony job listings and sham payroll records to get H1B visas for uh people and as well as employee sponsored green cards for non citizens.
• 29:35
  Now, according to the U.S.
• 29:37
  attorney's office, um the defendants uh submitted and caused to be submitted false and fraudulent visa applications to obtain immigration benefits.
• 29:49
  Now, even though this story first popped last year, it's back in the news career, finally getting court dates set to look at this.
• 29:56
  And again, since we're talking here about immigration,
• 30:00
  We have to look at the again, the legalities of how we get people to leave, but look at the scenarios of getting people to come in.
• 30:07
  Again, you have these allegations.
• 30:09
  These are allegations.
• 30:10
  They have not been proven in court yet.
• 30:12
  But allegations that there were people that committed fraud to make money off of getting people visas and green cards.
• 30:22
  I H1B visas and green.
• 30:24
  And of course, with all the discussion of H1B visas now, that's why it's kind of getting attention in the news.
• 30:30
  And of course, you can't forget the political spin behind so much of this.
• 30:33
  And again, uh, we're talking about when government agenda diverts from the agenda of we the people and the will of we the people and what happens.
• 30:41
  And again, I have a very what I think is a perfect example of well, let's just say the government agenda and and at least for some people uh changing.
• 30:52
  Now, we've talked before about the the quote unquote partial shutdown of DHS, which basically just means that uh the Senate's throwing a the Democrats, primarily Democrats and the Senate are throwing a temper tantrum because they don't like ice, so they've decided they're not going to fund the Department of Homeland Security, even though ICE and Border Patrol are already funded.
• 31:13
  Um, it's you know, they're they're not going to push forward and uh um you know it's it's created rather a mess.
• 31:20
  I've talked before about the TSA.
• 31:22
  There's a new one popping up, and again, this one involves a politician.
• 31:26
  It's actually uh Michigan representative uh Elisa Alisa Slotkin.
• 31:33
  Now, back in January, uh, when the the events in Minneapolis were in the news, when the the people who Renee Good and Alex Predi, uh both of which, by the way, were accused of uh attacking ISA fish ice people and and end up dying in the response.
• 31:51
  Hasn't been proved in court yet.
• 31:52
  That's the assertion.
• 31:53
  Because Miss Lockin made a statement back in January that uh she voted against DHA DHS funding because the events that took place in Minneapolis.
• 32:02
  CM Chertoon has changed.
• 32:05
  Remember, she's from Michigan.
• 32:07
  So we had the recent attack on uh Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan uh by a Muslim who apparently has family ties with uh was it Hamas or Hezbollah, I forget which.
• 32:21
  But now there's an tag.
• 32:23
  It it it, you know, uh an ob an obviously religious attack against a Jewish temple in um in her state in Miss Lotkin State.
• 32:34
  You know, she's a senator from from Michigan.
• 32:36
  And uh now she gets this interesting question on a a looks like a press briefing.
• 32:44
  Um listen to this.
• 32:47
  Department of Homeland Security is not fairly funded right now.
• 32:50
  Do you fear that we have uh less prepared for incidents like these than we should be?
• 32:55
  Yeah, I would say the department because they are essential workers, they have been, you know, at work.
• 33:00
  Certainly in Michigan, we have a ton of DHS folks, uh, CBP and um, so they are on the call and they are there doing their jobs.
• 33:09
  Um, certainly we need to fund the Department of Homeland Security, and we need, in my view, to cut away all the conversation on ice, which is its own conversation from all the core missions of the Department of Homeland Security, but they're essential, they're on the job, they're working today.
• 33:24
  Isn't it interesting how her position changes?
• 33:26
  She was more than happy to vote against funding DHS because of what happened in Minneapolis and it happens in Michigan.
• 33:32
  Oh, now we've got to fund them.
• 33:34
  Now we've got to separate the ICE discussion from DHS.
• 33:37
  Now we've got to bring them in, and they're on the job today, but many of them are not getting paid.
• 33:43
  That's the big problem, right?
• 33:44
  You haven't funded them, so the treasury cannot cut them checks.
• 33:48
  They're missing paychecks.
• 33:50
  Uh, Miss Lacken, does that mean now you're going to vote to fund DHS?
• 33:54
  I can't wait to see the next uh vote for funding on DHS and see how she actually votes.
• 34:02
  Because again, it is is this a question of not just government, but politics?
• 34:07
  Oh, I was against, you know, I was I was for the shutdown before I was against the shutdown.
• 34:13
  Sounds like um, sounds like a little bit of uh uh, well, not in my backyard.
• 34:18
  I got no problem with you know DHS being non-funded until it hits me in my backyard.
• 34:23
  And then I'm then I have my constituents asking me questions about this problem, and now I gotta do something about it.
• 34:30
  That's very human.
• 34:32
  All right.
• 34:32
  I'm not saying that Miss Lockin is evil for that.
• 34:35
  That's human.
• 34:36
  I see it all the time.
• 34:38
  But does to me beg the interesting question?
• 34:41
  What about when government or a politician's agenda diverges from the will of we the people?
• 34:49
  And again, it's to me, it's not just government, it's it's our different agendas.
• 34:55
  And I want to take a look at a couple of examples, but I have another break I have to take first.
• 34:59
  Before I go, I want to ask you, you know, do you pay attention to who you do business with?
• 35:04
  Are you are you hearing about these groups that are funding our the attacks on our rights in our nation?
• 35:11
  Are you tired of finding out that, hey, you know, I did business with this company now only to find out that, hey, they're supporting those that are that are attacking our rights.
• 35:20
  See, there's something we can do.
• 35:22
  We want to buy from companies that believe what you and I believe.
• 35:25
  I stopped doing business with certain corporations because of their history of supporting organizations that uh, well, are attacking our rights, and I make a point in doing business with the companies that are supporting things I support, I believe in.
• 35:39
  One of those is Patriot Mobile.
• 35:42
  Yes, they're America's only Christian conservative waters provider, but that's not why I joined them.
• 35:47
  They offer great 4G and 5G coverage nationwide, and their customer support is 100% U.S.
• 35:53
  based.
• 35:53
  But that's not why I became their customer.
• 35:56
  I became their customer because they shared my values, and they support organizations fighting for our rights, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, to not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
• 36:12
  Now that's great, but they also support the sanctity of life, our veterans and our first responders.
• 36:17
  That's why I joined them.
• 36:18
  So I became a customer.
• 36:20
  In fact, I was so happy with them as my wireless provider.
• 36:23
  I became an affiliate.

• 40:01
  Welcome back, everyday Americans you rejoin the Constitution study.
• 40:05
  And today we've been talking about we the people versus government.
• 40:09
  What happens when government agendas divert from the will of the people?
• 40:13
  And we've looked at several examples.
• 40:15
  And I want to look at another one here today.
• 40:16
  And I'm going to start with it with a statement.
• 40:18
  Almost everybody, I actually don't want to.
• 40:21
  I hear this all the time, that we've got to get money out of politics.
• 40:25
  Except money's never getting out of politics.
• 40:27
  It's never going to happen.
• 40:29
  But I do want to, I do see when, well, again, politics becomes the driving factor, the political, the politics of party.
• 40:40
  Here's the example.
• 40:41
  You heard about the shooting at Old Dominion University.
• 40:44
  Two people died, including the gunman and others were injured after this act that some people are calling terrorism.
• 40:53
  It's a sad thing.
• 40:54
  It's a sad state of affairs.
• 40:55
  But when the Commonwealth attorney, uh Rahman Fatih claimed that the problem wasn't the person, it was the gun call, the pro-gun culture.
• 41:10
  Speaking at a press conference, he's saying said this is not an ODU problem.
• 41:15
  This is a national sickness.
• 41:16
  We live in a country where people care more about the about guns than they care about six-year-old children.
• 41:21
  Well, Mr.
• 41:22
  Fatih, that's a bald faced lie.
• 41:24
  And I can prove it.
• 41:25
  Because you know why I carry a gun?
• 41:28
  To protect my child.
• 41:29
  Now she's no longer six, but it's there to protect people, not to harm people.
• 41:35
  This is not a cult of gun absolutism.
• 41:38
  It's a it's a cult of liberty, of freedom, of recognizing that we need to defend ourselves, that government is there to support us.
• 41:48
  But you might say, well, that's you know, okay, that's his opinion.
• 41:51
  People like here's the interesting twist.
• 41:53
  Do you know where this particular person, this Mr.
• 41:56
  Fatih get a lot of his, yeah, a lot of his funding funding to run to be Commonwealth attorney?
• 42:04
  George Soros.
• 42:06
  That's what I'm seeing is he got a lot of backing from George Stories.
• 42:09
  See, George Sorris figured out that um, you know, maybe rather than trying to go for the big flashy national elections where everybody's paying attention, he invested a lot of money in DAs and prosecutors, people that can promote his agenda while being a little more under the radar.
• 42:27
  At least that's my opinion.
• 42:28
  That's what that's what I've seen.
• 42:30
  But what we have here, you have an example of uh a former Virginia National Guardsman, a naturalized immigrant, originally from Sierra Leone.
• 42:41
  Um, he had been convicted back in 2016 of providing material support to ISIS.
• 42:49
  He received a an 11-year prison of federal sentence in federal prison and was released in 2024 after serving nine years.
• 42:59
  Now, investigators say he opened fire on an ROTC class inside of uh ODU's Norfolk campus.
• 43:08
  Now, just listening to that.
• 43:10
  Go back to what Mr.
• 43:12
  Fatih said.
• 43:13
  It's a problem of gun culture.
• 43:15
  It has nothing to do with the fact that this guy has already been convicted of materially supporting a terrorist organization, ISIS.
• 43:23
  It has nothing to do with the fact that he attacked an ROTC class, uh, people who are trained to be military, which you got to think about it.
• 43:32
  Um, we're now at war with Iran, or at least in a conflict with Iran.
• 43:36
  I don't know, it's officially been, I know it's called a war on the media all the time, but I deal with facts, not rhetoric.
• 43:44
  Has nothing to do with the fact that this guy is has shown he's uh he's dedicated to ISIS, that uh he's already been convicted of supporting ISIS, and that now uh after that after being released from being uh from serving a sentence for being found guilty of supporting ISIS, he attacks a military, uh uh a military organization, ROTC, while we are in a in a military conflict with Iran.
• 44:11
  Anyone else see a clue other than the gun that seems to be at fault here?
• 44:17
  Do you remember the old saying to a hammer everything looks like a nail?
• 44:21
  Well, get again, George Soros has been vehemently anti-gun, among other things.
• 44:27
  And uh he supported this person for prosecutor uh for state's attorney and commonwealth attorney, sorry to get the term right, Tomwealth attorney.
• 44:35
  So are you really surprised that someone who's been funded by an anti-gun organization probably has anti-gun leanings and would blame the gun rather than this the the evil person who supports terrorism who got killed committing an act of terrorism.
• 44:54
  See, this is what happens when the agenda of government that has been in this case partially bought and paid for by a person with an agenda, lots of money in an agenda.
• 45:04
  And listen, I have no problem with people with money.
• 45:06
  I don't even have problem with people using their money to support uh their agenda.
• 45:12
  But the people of Virginia voted for this guy to be a commonwealth attorney.
• 45:19
  And um, yeah, he seems more interested in in disarming the people trying to keep themselves safe than in uh going after uh a terrorist in the act of a in an act of terrorism after being convicted of supporting a terrorist organization.
• 45:36
  That sounds like a hammer seeing everything as a nail to me.
• 45:40
  Now I want to spin to something else.
• 45:42
  And this is again a bit of a pet peeve of mine, and that is the Bar Association.
• 45:48
  Now, understand, I've had a lot of people tell me a lot of crazy things about some people say it's what it's supposed to be a British organization, and you know, so every member of the bar, you're actually part of the British government.
• 46:00
  I mean, nonsense like that.
• 46:01
  The bar refers to, if you look at a courtroom, there's a bar that separates the court from the gallery, that separates the attorneys and the judges and uh defendants from the everyday people.
• 46:15
  So when you pass the bar, you're allowed past that bar into the uh a court itself.
• 46:22
  But that's not my point here.
• 46:24
  It's this bar association.
• 46:26
  It's this uh private organization that each and every state in the union, including and the federal government requires you to join in order to be recognized as a an attorney and able to represent people.
• 46:40
  Now remember, this Sixth Amendment says you have the right in a legal case, you have a right to the assistance of counsel.
• 46:49
  It doesn't say that that council must be approved by the state.
• 46:52
  It says you have the right to the assistance of counsel.
• 46:56
  And like any other guild, the the different board uh different bar associations have used their power to control who gets this professional ability to actually be a lawyer.
• 47:11
  Now, it was alleged and it started out to be let's make sure that someone's actually qualified, right?
• 47:17
  Let's make sure that they they actually have the skills to be an attorney.
• 47:22
  Of course, then again, law schools stopped teaching the supreme law of the land and bar associations came to be as much about the politics of the bar as it has been about the the uh actual practice of law, which brings me to the bar of district of the District of Columbia and their board of professional responsibility.
• 47:45
  See, this goes to U.S.
• 47:46
  attorney um Martin, who uh uh basically he pro he investigated Georgetown Law School for allegations that it was promoting DEI in its curriculum and that it refused to hire those affiliated with the school, or that I should say the that the uh um U.S.
• 48:07
  attorney's office would refuse to hire those affiliated with the school until it purged DEI from its curriculum.
• 48:16
  Now, again, you're dealing with the DC bar.
• 48:18
  This is a federal city, it's a federal district.
• 48:22
  It's legislator, it's Congress.
• 48:24
  The president is the executive head of the executive, it's it's a federal entity.
• 48:29
  And uh the uh the president issued an executive order saying our agencies, we're not gonna be playing with DEI anymore.
• 48:38
  So here you have a U.S.
• 48:40
  attorney saying we are not going to allow this type of racism and discrimination and prejudice to exist in a law school in the district of Columbia.
• 48:52
  So that there was an allegation that they were violating this again, whether or not the federal government should be doing this.
• 48:58
  This is a federal district.
• 48:59
  This is not a state.
• 49:01
  So he investigated.
• 49:04
  He probed a law school.
• 49:07
  Now, according to reports, simply for probing the law school about its DI simply for saying, listen, we're not going to hire attorneys from a law school that teaches DEI because we're it's about the law, it's not about this DEI nonsense.
• 49:24
  The office, the the the board of professional responsibility at the DC bar is now um uh alleges that uh Mr.
• 49:34
  Martin, again, he said how do you put it?
• 49:39
  Violated local rules of legal conduct.
• 49:43
  Rules of legal conduct are not laws.
• 49:46
  Let me say that a rule of legal conduct is not law.
• 49:50
  But you see, they want to bar him from the bar association, which would effectively prevent him from practicing law because their private organization.
• 50:01
  Is apparently upset that one of their accredited schools has been accused of putting racism and sexism above the law.
• 50:13
  As Jeff Clark, uh, who's a recently departed as uh Trump's uh chief regulatory officer, said lawfare, barfare is alive and well.
• 50:25
  Apparently, DC's disciplinary council cares not that one DEI is an unconstitutional violation of equal protection of the law, and two, the president had issued an executive order banning it if an institution takes federal money.
• 50:38
  Blatantly political.
• 50:41
  But here's what you see.
• 50:42
  See, it's not just that government has diverted from the will of the people.
• 50:48
  But you have government effectively creating a monopoly.
• 50:52
  See, we talk a lot about monopoly monopolies are bad.
• 50:54
  Government's always after monopoly.
• 50:55
  The only entity that can create a monopoly is a government.
• 50:58
  And the government, in this case, the federal government has created a monopoly in the DC bar by saying you must be a member of this private organization to practice law in the district.
• 51:10
  And when someone says, well, the government, the chief executive says, well, first of all, it's unconstitutional to uh uh it's a violation of equal protection for you to do this, even though again, equal text is the 14th Amendment, 14th Amendment applies to the states.
• 51:25
  The concept of equal protection is paramount to the Constitution.
• 51:29
  It violates, and again, if you're taking federal money, the president said you you can't do DEI, so um, we're not gonna take it, should be, we're not gonna give you any money.
• 51:39
  And we said, well, when if you're teaching this DEI, that's means how are we supposed to have them in our in our in our legal system.
• 51:47
  How are we supposed to hire them in the US Attorney's Office if they've been taught a lie about the legal process?
• 51:56
  But again, this shows that when government creates these monopolies, they drift just as much.
• 52:03
  And they cause just as much problem.
• 52:05
  They destroy a person's right.
• 52:09
  I'm still waiting to see.
• 52:10
  I'd love to see somebody in court have a non-bar member represent them and simply point out to the judge, hey, he has a right to counsel.
• 52:20
  The Constitution doesn't say that council must be vetted and approved by the state.
• 52:25
  That deprives him of his right to seek the counsel he wishes.
• 52:30
  You may not like it, but again, this is the this is what the constitution says.
• 52:35
  It's one of those little things that you know, one of these days, yeah, I'd love to see an opportunity to support some some legal case about that.
• 52:43
  So again, coming back to the premise.
• 52:45
  When the people, when the will of the people, where the government diverts from the will of the people, what do we do?
• 52:52
  Remember, we, the people hire our representatives.
• 52:57
  They work for us, they're public servants, not public masters.
• 53:02
  So what we need to do is we need to hire better people, right?
• 53:08
  We need to hire, we need to hire uh uh uh prosecutors that actually follow the law, not you know, some uh um, you know, some uh funders uh wish list.
• 53:23
  We need to hire represent your senators at the U.S.
• 53:27
  senators that actually stand on the their principle and their oath to support the Constitution of the United States.
• 53:34
  We need to hire state and local representatives that are actually going to, oh, I don't know, not just follow the law, follow the constitution of their state and of the United States, but to uh recognize that they're following the will of the people within the bounds of that constitution.
• 53:49
  We have to choose because we ultimately are responsible because we hired them.
• 53:58
  And if we're not going to keep our hired employees accountable for their actions, they're going to continue to run amok.
• 54:06
  That's what's happened of decades of simply, you know, walking in, you know, every couple of years or four years and casting a vote and thinking nothing about it other than donkeys and elephants.
• 54:17
  Or this person looks better than that one, or this one promised to bribe me with more money than that one.
• 54:23
  This is the consequence when we allow government to divert from the will of the people outside of the bounds of or within the bounds of the constitution of our state and of the United States.
• 54:36
  Now, this may bring up a question for you.
• 54:38
  You know, there may be a specific situation you're thinking of or you're dealing with that you're not sure.
• 54:44
  Well, please ask a question.
• 54:46
  I love when people ask questions.
• 54:48
  Just go to Constitution Study.com slash question, and uh you'll see a form and you can um you can go there and I ask for your name and email address because I'm going to email you an answer.
• 54:58
  But if you'd like me to answer it here on the radio, there's a checkbox.
• 55:01
  You know, please answer on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 55:04
  Uh, I tend not to use people's names unless they say I can.
• 55:08
  And if you don't check the box, well, I I generally won't talk about on the radio.
• 55:13
  I might hint about it, but I I won't ask the specific question, answer the specific question on the radio.
• 55:18
  But I love questions.
• 55:19
  And again, I don't believe, I believe there are two stupid questions in the world, right?
• 55:23
  The one you don't ask and the one you asked three times.
• 55:26
  If you don't know, ask, because you're probably not the only person that's asked that's wondering about this.
• 55:31
  But when you ask, listen to my answer and follow it.
• 55:34
  And the only thing I ask is that you be polite, right?
• 55:36
  Uh every so often I get people that are just, you know, they're just aggressive and mean and nasty.
• 55:41
  And I I tend not to pay that much attention to them because what's the old saying?
• 55:46
  You get more flies with honey than vinegar.
• 55:49
