Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
0:15
This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host Paul Engel.
0:31
Albert Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
0:39
I guess Americans are insane because we never seem to learn our lesson.
0:44
Hello there, everyday Americans.
0:46
Paul Engler here with the Constitution Study, where we read and study the Constitution, teacher rights generation be free.
0:51
Glad you could join me today.
0:53
You know, I'm I'm looking at the news, and well, what is the old saying?
0:57
Everything old is new again.
0:59
We never seem to learn our lesson.
1:01
You know, it just seems to be over and over and over again.
1:04
So I want to take a couple looks.
1:05
I want to start out in Chicago.
1:07
Um, I talked the other day about the Supreme Court declining to hear a case about uh Illinois' law prohibiting lawful carry on public transportation, including the Chicago Trans Transit Authority, and this myth that the CTA is somehow a gun free zone.
1:25
These create gun free zones.
1:27
Now, what I find ironic is literally just a few days before the court decided not to hear the case.
1:35
Uh a Chicago man who was already on probation for a federal weapons offense, is now facing new gun challenge gun charges because he was found with a loaded firearm at a Southside CTA station.
1:51
So according to the Cook County Sheriff's Office, around 5 40 p.m.
1:56
on March 31st at 95th and Dan Ryan loop red line stop, officers conducted a routine check of the platform.
2:04
They reported seeing a gentleman by the name of Carl Adams cross between train cars using the emergency doors.
2:10
This is both a safety hazard and a violation of CTA rules.
2:14
When Adams was taken into custody for disorderly conduct, they discovered during a pat down that uh he had a loaded gun.
2:22
So this idea that gun free zones are actually gun free zones is a myth.
2:26
And no matter how many times we see this happen, no matter how many times you talk about, you know, well, uh, you know, guns were brought into a gun free zone to commit crime, we still people still call them or refer to them as gun free zones when they're not gun free zones.
2:40
That is a myth.
2:42
That is a narrative that is used to try and make people feel better about taking away the rights of themselves or other individuals because people are afraid of the wrong thing.
2:53
They're afraid of the inanimate object rather than well, the person actually wielding the object.
3:00
You see, when a government entity creates a so-called gun free zone, they always accept the exempt their own people from that regulation.
3:08
Meaning, well, the government actors, jungle in the form of law enforcement, but sometimes others, they are allowed to carry firearms.
3:17
So it's not a gun-free zone.
3:18
It's supposed to be a citizen gun free zone.
3:21
But even that's not true because as we've seen multiple times before, criminals come in with guns, meaning it's not a gun free zone, it's a legal gun, it's it's a illegal gun free zone, meaning only the law abiding citizen is disarmed.
3:37
That's a better, it's the it's the lawful, it's a law abiding citizen disarmament zone.
3:43
We're going to take away the guns from the people who are allowed to have the guns, and we're not gonna uh but we can't stop the people who are not allowed to have guns to have guns.
3:52
So we're basically making the, I know what we should call it.
3:55
This is the citizen sheepfold because you're making people defenseless sheep and then punishing them for actually being able to defend myself.
4:04
Now, this case is even worse because this guy was not only barred from carrying a firearm because he was on a CTA line, but he is already on he's on probation for a federal weapons charge, meaning he's already prohibited from carrying a firearm.
4:20
He's prohibited from possessing a firearm, but it didn't stop him.
4:25
Now, how often do you have to step on a rake and get smashed in the face before you learn to look where you're walking and not step on the rake?
4:33
Apparently, when it comes to gun free zones, the answer is we never learn to not step on the rake.
4:39
Because this is happening in Chicago.
4:41
By the way, it's not just Chicago.
4:43
Do you realize that federal U.S.
4:46
military bases are considered gun free zones?
4:49
That's right.
4:50
It sounds ridiculous.
4:51
We take these young people, we hand them guns and say, go, you know, kill for us, defend us all around the world, but when you come home to your base, oh no, no, you you can't have a gun to actually protect yourself, not here at home, only when we send you into harm's way.
5:09
Anyone remember the multiple Fort Hood shootings or the shooting at the Navy Yard, the Chattanooga Chattanooga recruiting station, Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fort Stewart, Holman Air Force Base.
5:22
These were all attacks made on unarmed U.S.
5:26
military officers.
5:27
See, it's virtually impossible for a member of the military, much less their family members, to get permission to carry and even store their own personal firearms on military bases, even if they're following the laws of the state where the base is located.
5:47
Meaning, if you live on base, you can't carry your own firearm to protect yourself.
5:53
Well, Paul, it's a military base.
5:54
Yeah.
5:55
And um, just like any other small city, MPs are not everywhere.
6:01
As we can see, these attacks have happened, leaving our military men and women, the people who have volunteered to defend this country and their families defenseless.
6:14
Now, you may be thinking, oh, those dirty rotten democrats, they've taken away a rights from our it wasn't the Democrats that started this.
6:25
George H.W.
6:26
Bush, his administration, let's see, HWHW.
6:30
Was that a Republican or a Democrat?
6:33
That's right.
6:34
He's he was an elephant.
6:36
And they decided that, well, the military needed to be more professional, more businesslike.
6:42
And they created tighter and tighter restrictions on firearms.
6:47
Then in 93, Clinton implemented the restrictions effectively banning soldiers from carrying personal firearms on base.
6:56
So it didn't start.
6:57
You know, the Clinton may have done it, but it started with HW.
7:02
And which still that way today.
7:07
Again, like any other uh civilian police force, the military police guard the base entrances, but they can't be everywhere.
7:18
So, you know, uh, you know, it's what happened to the I carry a firearm because I can't carry an MP.
7:24
We trust these people with weapons far beyond what they're trying to carry.
7:29
They're talking, I want to carry a uh, you know, a sidearm, maybe even a semi-automatic AR-15 in my home to protect or a shotgun to protect my family.
7:39
No, you can't do that if you're on a military base.
7:44
Now, if that sounds absolutely crazy to you, well, join the club.
7:49
But here we are, 30 plus years, almost 35 years after this nonsense started, and it is still nearly impossible for our men and women under arms, the military, to actually be able to carry their own weapons to protect themselves and their families when on base.
8:15
No one would actually attack a military base.
8:17
Yeah, well, it's happened multiple times, just this century.
8:25
What are we ever going to learn our lesson?
8:28
Apparently not.
8:30
Oh, and you want to talk about learning a lesson.
8:33
We got to go to California.
8:34
We've got to go to California because I've been hearing them talk about their their quote-unquote bullet train.
8:42
It seems like forever.
8:45
I know they were talking about and planning about it.
8:47
I don't remember how long it's been.
8:49
I mean, they they started talking about it, I know, at least as as far back as 2008.
8:55
In 2015, they actually officially began the project of this train.
9:00
I think it was supposed to originally supposed to go from San Francisco or Sacramento all the way down to San Diego.
9:08
Now, in 2008, um, the the there was a ballot measure where the people uh of California approved building a train line connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco in less than three hours.
9:24
They estimated it cost 33 billion dollars.
9:27
It was supposed to be cleared completed back in 2020, and they said, Oh, of course, this is gonna be great.
9:32
It's gonna cut pollution, it's gonna revitalize local economies, it'll get rid of the of California's Los Angeles famous gridlock.
9:41
It's 2026.
9:44
Not only is a project not completed, not a single mile of track has been laid.
9:53
All right, 2008 to 2026.
9:56
I don't know if you can do the math, but that's 18 years.
10:00
And not and they haven't laid a mile of track yet.
10:06
Oh, by the way, they've they've they've shrunk the route to just Bakersfield to Merced.
10:12
And the price has gone from 33 billion to 126 billion dollars.
10:18
Now, you know, uh it was infamous.
10:21
Charlie Brown, you know, it would always want to kick the football and Lucy would hold the football.
10:27
And as Charlie Brown came running up, she'd pull the football away so he'd land flat on his back.
10:32
And every time you saw that in the cartoon, you knew what was going to happen.
10:36
You're thinking, Charlie Brown, don't do it.
10:40
But the people in California are like Charlie Brown.
10:42
They keep swinging at this bullet train football, and it keeps getting yanked away from them.
10:48
And they never ever, ever seem to learn their lesson.
10:54
And again, with a new estimated cost of 126 billion dollars in government subsidies.
11:03
Guess what?
11:05
Someone's making a lot of money.
11:07
And it's not the people of California.
11:09
I saw this this one post on X.
11:12
He said uh uh uh Hans Mankin.
11:14
Uh he said, uh, if you gave 126 billion dollars to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at the current demand levels, you could fund between 150 and 200 years of travel before the money runs out.
11:30
Think about that for a second.
11:31
Before you ran out of, you went through 126 billion dollars, you're talking at least a century and a half to two centuries of travel between LA and San Francisco, and you'd still have money left over.
11:46
Does that make sense?
11:47
Does it mean the bull trade?
11:48
Or is it just people they love the idea of trains?
11:51
You know, when we're kids, like small young bodies, boys, we love trains, right?
11:55
Electric train sets and push train sets, and we just love trains.
11:59
And it's like some people never actually grew up.
12:02
They love the idea of these trains.
12:05
The fact that they don't make economic or or in some cases physical sense.
12:09
Nah, we'll we can figure it out.
12:11
We're just gonna spend all of your money on these projects that never seem to actually come to pass.
12:20
And yet the people of California keep electing the same idiots to their legislature to waste their money on this boondoggle.
12:29
And like any other con artist, as long as you keep giving them money, they're gonna keep taking the money.
12:35
And yes, I said con artists, because that's what they are.
12:40
The politicians in Sacramento have conned the people of California into this fairy tale belief that we'll magically be able to build this rail in some of those, in some cases, some of the most congested land in the nation, but we're gonna find room to put in these high-speed rail lines with enough room to be safe from the the people uh uh around it, so you're not endangering, you know, homes and and people uh uh around the track, and we're gonna be able to do it with all the regulatory hood hurdles that California is famous for, and we're gonna be able to do it for nearly oh let's call it four times the original cost.
13:21
We'll be able to do that, and they keep going for it.
13:25
They never learn their lesson.
13:27
And you know what?
13:28
I wish we were only California, but it's not.
13:32
You look at the nation as a whole.
13:34
How often are we gonna fall for the same lie over and over and over again?
13:40
Seems like pretty much every time, which makes you think that the American people are actually insane.
13:47
Now, if we actually, oh, I don't know, read and study the Constitution, taught the rising generation to be free, taught people to think and analyze and think critically, not just emotionally.
14:00
If we taught people to question and push back against their politicians rather than just following along with every promise they're told, well, maybe this mess wouldn't be as bad as it is, but we haven't done that.
14:14
We've literally taken our children, 90% of the children in this country at the age of five.
14:18
We hand them to government and say, you teach them.
14:22
Does the government teach them to be free?
14:24
Does the government teach them to question government?
14:27
Or does it teach them to sit down, shut up, and and do what they're told.
14:34
Well, that lesson of sit down, shut up, and do your raise your hand if you have to go to the bathroom.
14:40
Raise your hand if you have a question.
14:42
Be careful because if you piss off the teacher, you're gonna get a bad grade.
14:47
That lesson has been well and truly cemented in the psyche of the American people.
14:54
So I don't think we'll ever learn our lesson.
14:57
No matter how many times gun-free zones are proven not to be gun-free.
15:01
No matter times we show that military bases are not necessarily safe, even here in the U.S.
15:10
No matter how many times we we've we get lied to by our politicians and get sold a bill of goods.
15:17
It just seems you're going to ask that question over.
15:20
We're gonna do the same thing over and over and over again.
15:23
This time, though, this time it'll be different.
15:26
Yeah.
15:27
Insane.
15:29
Now, I have a break coming up.
15:30

Welcome back, everyday American jury.
20:17
Join the Constitution study today.
20:20
Will we never learn our lesson?
20:22
That's kind of our theme for today because how often do we have to be kicked to the teeth by those who people who are supposed to represent us before we start saying, maybe we don't want you to represent us.
20:32
Maybe we need better people to exercise our authority in our name.
20:37
Now, if California is one of the classic places, the other place you have to go to is New York City.
20:42
Yes, I was born there, but boy, to see what this city has fallen to.
20:46
It's it's it's really saddening.
20:48
You see, they not only did they decide that they're gonna hire a socialist mayor.
20:52
Now, a lot of people focus on the fact that he's Islamic, but to me, they hired a socialist.
20:58
In the capitalist Mecca of the United States, possibly the world, Wall Street, they hired a socialist to be their mayor.
21:08
And uh, of course, he made all sorts of promises.
21:11
Well, how can you tell when a politician is lying?
21:14
Yeah, their lips are moving.
21:17
Now, one of the promises Zandani made was uh free buses.
21:23
Uh, apparently he's not actually gonna be able to deliver on that, or at least not right away.
21:29
See, he's gonna be paring down this pilot program to do free buses because there is no such thing as free busing.
21:37
All right, buses cost money.
21:40
You don't just magically appear out of the ground, you don't plant a magic bean and out comes a bus.
21:46
You have to buy the buses, they cost money.
21:49
Oh, yeah, and those buses require fuel.
21:53
So you got to pay for the fuel.
21:55
Then, of course, you have to have someone to drive the bus.
21:58
You gotta pay that person.
21:59
Of course, the buses are mechanical things, they need maintenance, you gotta pay for all that.
22:03
So someone's got to pay for all of this.
22:05
And uh, you know, well, let's just face it.
22:07
Uh Mondami has been writing checks that uh his treasury can't cash.
22:12
So, oh no, well, he's committed.
22:15
He said that he's still committed, absolutely committed to making buses fast and free.
22:20
Well, maybe he should just be committed because that's insane.
22:25
And maybe anybody that believes him, maybe they should be committed as well, because again, that's insane.
22:31
Every place that try to do free buses, it doesn't work.
22:34
Why?
22:34
Because there's no such thing as free.
22:37
Somebody's got to pay for all this, which means if it's not being paid by bus fares, it's being paid for by taxpayers, and you can only spend those dollars once, no matter how often politicians try to spend them two, three, four times.
22:52
It doesn't work that way.
22:54
Sure, people have you know, the the the legislative body has been talking about this.
22:59
They've been they want to include language to support a a uh a free bus pilot program.
23:06
But again, talk is cheap.
23:08
Talk doesn't cost you anything.
23:10
It's the actual program, the actual product that actually costs something, and and that's what you can't do.
23:18
You can talk all you want.
23:20
Let's face it, if there's one thing a politician is good at generating hot air.
23:24
But one of the people of New York City, one of the people of the rest of the country going to realize there is no such thing as a free lunch.
23:31
You cannot have free busing, you cannot have free health care, you cannot have free education.
23:37
They do not exist.
23:38
Someone is paying for it.
23:41
And I don't know about you, but I'm not real thrilled about paying for somebody else's largesse.
23:48
Oh, we want to give free busing because that'll make us look good.
23:51
I don't want to pay you you're we're then if you want free busing, Mr.
23:54
Rondami, cough up the bucks.
23:56
You cough up the bucks, you get your supporters, let's start coughing up money to pay for the busing program.
24:03
Don't ask the taxpayers to do it, because then you know you're saying it's it's not free.
24:07
No, you do it.
24:09
When you start reaching into your own pocket and the pocket of your contributors, then I'll consider supporting it.
24:16
And not a nanosecond before.
24:20
Now, here's the other thing.
24:21
Of course, Mandami is going to do all these these crimes.
24:24
We're going to deal with these crimes and these hate crimes and and and all that.
24:27
It's terrible.
24:28
He's he's gonna come in and like some magician, take care of that problem, right?
24:34
Well, listen to this uh press conference given by the NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch.
24:40
Now switching to hate crimes.
24:42
Confirmed hate crimes increased nearly 12% this quarter citywide.
24:47
We continue to see that the vast majority of our hate crimes are anti-Semitic in nature.
24:52
In fact, in the first quarter of 2026, more than half of all confirmed hate crimes or 55% were anti-Semitic, despite Jews only making up approximately 10% of the population of New York City.
25:07
Okay, so New York City still has a hate crime, a growing hate crime problem.
25:14
In one quarter of the of 2020, the first quarter of 2026, hate crimes have increased 12% citywide.
25:22
And the majority of those hate crimes, interestingly enough, are anti-Semitic.
25:26
They are against the Jews.
25:28
Now, yes, Jews make up only approximately 10% of the population of New York City, but that is a lot larger than a lot of other cities in the nation.
25:37
You know, there's a large Jewish compliment, even if it's only 10% of the population, yet more than half of the hate crimes are against Jews.
25:46
What happened to you know all the hate crimes against we can't we gotta be careful?
25:50
Have hate crimes against Muslims.
25:51
You know, you can't mention the Mondami's Muslim, you're gonna instigate hate crimes against Muslims.
25:55
I guess that hasn't appeared.
25:57
In fact, the hate crime seems to be going against Muslims' enemy, the Jews.
26:03
I'm not saying it has anything to do with Mandami being a Muslim.
26:06
I'm saying let's look at the data.
26:08
So New York City has a hate, and of course, I hate the term hate crime because it's kind of this made-up term to be a crime against somebody.
26:16
We want extra protection, not equal protection of the law, extra protection of the law.
26:21
And uh, so here you have the the commissioner of the NYPD.
26:25
They've identified a problem.
26:28
What are they going to do about it?
26:30
These cases are investigated by the NYPD hate crimes task force, which determines whether an incident meets the legal standard for hate crime under New York state law.
26:41
As of today, and for the first time, our monthly hate crime data will include two clear, accurate sets of numbers.
26:51
Reported hate crimes, those flagged for investigation by the task force, and confirmed hate crimes as determined by the task force.
27:02
That is the gold standard for reporting on hate crimes, and that is what we are going to do going forward.
27:10
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
27:11
You're telling me that the the you have a problem, a growing problem of these these hate crimes.
27:18
Crimes where you know you commit the same crime against two different people.
27:21
One, it's a crime, one it's a hate crime.
27:24
That itself is a violation of the 14th Amendment because it's not equal protection under the law.
27:28
But you're gonna deal with it by saying, well, now we're gonna report not only reported hate crimes, but ones that we've confirmed.
27:33
That's the gold standard of dealing with this, is pointing out the hate crimes.
27:38
Really?
27:39
That is the best the NYPD can do.
27:42
One of the greatest police forces in this country, the best you can do is report not only those that we people claim are hate crimes, but ones we've actually confirmed are hate crimes.
27:55
Uh, how many Jews in New York City do you think feel safer right now?
27:59
Huh?
28:00
How many people feel safer knowing that, well, at least if a hate crime is committed against me, then well, um, you know, at least it'll get listed properly.
28:11
Somebody might actually confirm it's a hate crime.
28:14
And um, maybe that'll be put me on lists.
28:19
Seems to be small comfort for the victims of those crimes, for their families, and for the people in those neighborhoods that are now terrified that something might happen to them because hate uh hate these quote unquote hate crimes are growing, and nobody seems to be doing anything about it except reporting it.
28:36
But then again, we're dealing with New York City.
28:40
Uh, one of the centers of stupid in this country.
28:45
And for those of you who don't know, New York City has a tremendous influence on state law because of the population it represents.
28:52
It's a significant proportion of the population.
28:54
A lot of the people in Albany in the government uh live or work in New York in New York City, and there's a lot of influence.
29:04
So, what is New York decided to do to deal with these hate crimes?
29:08
Well, there's a pair of legislators that want to enact a new law that would require gun shops to post warning signs.
29:18
You know, like they put on cigarettes decades ago, warning this stuff is the surgeon general has determined that this is called cancer.
29:24
They're gonna put signs, not just signs, they want to put up graphic signs that say, yes, shooting someone with a gun can actually kill them.
29:34
Now, New York City is already requires gun stores to post written warnings.
29:39
Now they want to include again graphic images.
29:43
Uh, I guess trying to uh I don't know, scare people into being smarter with their firearms.
29:50
As if that is really the problem is people don't know that guns are dangerous.
29:56
Really?
29:58
That's the that's that's New.
30:00
York solution, another sign reminding people that that guns can be dangerous if if not properly handled, not properly stored.
30:08
Or is this just another example of the state of New York trying to discourage people from exercising their rights protected by the second amendment of the constitution to keep and bear arms?
30:18
Now listen, I've been a gun owner my entire adult life.
30:22
I grew up with guns.
30:24
And you know what?
30:25
No gun of mine has ever harmed another human being.
30:28
No gun in my possession, no gun in my that I've owned, no gun in my family's own.
30:33
Why?
30:34
Well, because the first thing my father taught me was how to be safe with a firearm.
30:40
By the way, I love teaching people.
30:42
I it's one of the one of my favorite things to do is take someone who's never handled a gun before and teach them how to safely handle a firearm and actually shoot a firearm.
30:50
And again, safely.
30:52
Safety is like is drilled into the process because guns are dangerous.
30:58
But do you really think someone that's going to a gun store to buy a gun is the type of person's going to go out and use it to commit a crime?
31:07
No, what they like to do is they like to put up these these these lies, these made of things that uh, you know, uh having a gun in the home significantly increases the chance of someone being shot.
31:17
Umly if that person's a criminal.
31:20
You kept with the criminals.
31:22
No, that that's not that's not true.
31:25
But again, yes, you have to be safe.
31:27
You know, my guns are, you know, everyone in my house is an adult, everyone in my house knows how to deal with handle guns.
31:33
When strangers come over, when um uh you know, if they're young people around, those guns are made sure they're locked out of the way.
31:40
We are careful with our guns.
31:43
I don't think another sign saying, guess what, folks?
31:46
Guns are dangerous, makes a darn bit of difference.
31:49
But no matter how many times these things happen and they're proved to be useless, we'll go back to the same well over and over.
31:56
Oh, we had them put up a sign.
31:58
Well, that's not good enough.
31:58
We got to put up a scary sign.
32:01
Yeah.
32:03
Like uh uh one that shows a white casket with pink flowers because the teddy bear, because it guns could be used, could hurt children.
32:11
Yeah, they can.
32:13
And if you're a smart person, you make sure that doesn't happen.
32:19
But you see, in the state of New York, the empire, they don't think people can think for themselves.
32:25
They think they're too stupid to realize that, well, guns are dangerous.
32:29
Now, are there people that are stupid with their guns?
32:31
Yes, there are, and those people should be punished for their bad actions.
32:37
But those of us who are safe with our firearms, why should we be punished?
32:41
Well, all right, this isn't a punishment.
32:43
The punishment is to the uh gun store owner who may be fined if he doesn't put up this these graphic images trying to dissuade people from doing business with him.
32:53
Does that sound like a violation of freedom of speech?
32:55
Certainly sounds like one to me.
32:58
But what are we gonna do, right?
32:59
It's only the government, how stupid can they be, and how often can we listen to their failures and keep hiring the same types of people to do the same thing over and over and over again.
33:10
And again, this is just New York City.
33:12
Of course, we talked last time about California and Chicago.
33:17
This is New York City.
33:20
And I really wish that this were the end of it.
33:22
I wish this were all that we had to deal with, but there's so much more.
33:27
I mean, I people wonder why I say I'm a refugee from the empire.
33:31
I was born in New York City.
33:33
I lived most of my life in upstate New York.
33:35
I lived most of my life in New York State, and I escaped.
33:38
I ran for Tennessee.
33:41
I ran for freedom because I got tired of the these ridiculous and coercive legislation.
33:48
Again, designed not so much to protect the rights of the individual, but to promote the political agenda of the politician, regardless of what the constitutional laws of the United States actually say.
34:01
That's why I left.
34:03
I got tired of being lied to by them.
34:06
Of course, I get lied to down here, just not as much and about different things.
34:11
You see, we have to remember that politicians, they're lobbied.
34:16
A lot of the stuff they come up with may not even be from their own.
34:19
They people come into the line, they're promoting ideas, they're donating to get stuff, they're they're there are groups that are trying to attack our rights.
34:27
Kind of an end round, right?
34:29
Go past the people, right to the politicians.
34:31
How do we stop funding these people?
34:34
Would you be surprised to know that many of the corporations you do business with every day are actually funding organizations trying to deprive you of your rights?
34:43

36:10
Corporate media has been lying to us for decades.
36:13
And now that we live in the information age where there are other sources of information, they've been caught.
36:19
But too much of the news we see out there is simply people saying things without any evidence, without any proof.
36:25
It's one of the reasons why I go to America out loud every day is not only can I trust much of the work I give from them, I can go out and verify it.

36:49
Yeah, that's because corporate media didn't want you to.

39:16
It seems like no matter how many times you go through these, we just never ever seem to learn.
39:21
I remember a few years ago when a group called the Little Sisters of the Poor, um, the state tried to get them to require the Obama, the Obamacare, tried to get these nuns to have abortion coverage in their health insurance.
39:38
Even though it went against their sincerely held beliefs, it was against their religious uh uh occupation.
39:44
They tried to.
39:46
And uh I believe they the Obamacare lost.
39:50
Well, it's apparently happening again.
39:52
This happens a little differently.
39:53
There was a complaint filed by the Dominican Citizens Sisters of Hawthorne.
39:58
Um they uh uh they were.
40:00
Run a care facility in New York state to provide care for, well, poor cancer patients, right?
40:07
People who can't afford other sorts of treatment.
40:09
Um, they've filed this complaint, claiming that the state law that they um recognize transgender uh affirmations violates their religious liberty.
40:24
Uh Senate Bill 1783 establishes what it refers to as the LGBT long-term care facility resident bill of rights, and they're trying to prevent discrimination against residents by discriminating against private operators.
40:39
No, these are not state facilities.
40:41
These are as a private organization.
40:44
And they claim discriminate against actual perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression according to the New York State Senate.
40:52
But again, that is not that that is not via due process of law.
40:56
Due process is a legal or judicial process designed to protect the rights of the individual.
41:03
Now, I understand that someone may have this, they have this mental disorder, but you cannot force a private entity to comply with the delusion of the state, which is why the sisters have filed their complaint, claiming a violation of both the first and 14th amendments.
41:21
Now, this is not a First Amendment violation.
41:24
Why?
41:24
The first five words of the First Amendment, Congress shall make no law.
41:28
Congress didn't make this law.
41:29
It's not a First Amendment violation.
41:32
It is, however, a violation of the 14th Amendment, because the state has passed a law that deprived these sisters of their liberty without due process of law.
41:42
It deprives them of their property, the property they have in their in their care facility without due process of law.
41:49
It's a clear 14th Amendment violation.
41:52
Now, I don't know about you, but history has shown me that courts really are kind of stupid about this.
41:59
Why?
42:00
Well, most courts I know of, or most at least federal courts that I've followed, will look at this and say, Well, is it a First Amendment violent?
42:07
Because the 14th Amendment somehow rewrote the First Amendment, even though there's no language in the 14th Amendment that actually says so.
42:14
Not even close.
42:16
But they'll also look at it and say, well, you know, you've got conflicting rights here.
42:21
Yes, you have ownership rights, you have property rights, you have liberty rights versus someone who wants to use a private organization and then tell them how to run their business.
42:33
This has been, you know, they tried it once with Obamacare.
42:36
They're down New York State's trying it again.
42:38
I don't know how they're going to end up in the courts because I don't trust the federal courts as far as I could throw the Supreme Court building.
42:45
Because they have time and time and time again shown their oath to the Constitution means less than the toilet paper they use to wipe their backside.
42:55
And yes, I mean it.
42:57
They do not care about their oath of the constitution because they don't care what the constitution says.
43:02
They're more worried about what previous courts have said.
43:05
And um, so who knows?
43:07
This is a this is a crapshoot for the says I wish them well, but uh trying to tell people they have to participate in someone else's delusion is a blatant violation of the constitution of the state of New York, I believe.
43:22
I know it's a violation of the Constitution of the United States.
43:25
Do we really believe that it's not going to um that the courts are going to side with the rights of the people over the government they're a part of?
43:35
Uh okay, here's another one.
43:36
So thankfully lately, I haven't been flying that much lately.
43:40
Um, I say thankfully because flying really has become a nightmare.
43:45
It used to be fun to go flying.
43:47
Now it's nothing but a pain in the backside.
43:49
You got TSA, which is time and time and time again shown they are incompetent at actually uh uh recognizing weapons and and bombs when you know all the stress tests where people bring in fakes to see if they get caught, how often, it's like 80, 90% of the time TSA doesn't catch them.
44:07
Well, now we've got a new one, and that's a a uh um a legislature, legislator who wants the uh Department of Homeland Security to bring back the the shoes off at your airport porno screening.
44:24
So it's bad enough that uh you've got a group of people, incompetent people, they say they're there to keep us safe, they're doing a bad job at it.
44:32
Uh they send you through a porno scanner, or they give you a good grope, and now they want you to do it in your stocking feet.
44:40
Why?
44:41
Well, according to Senator Duckworth, not the uh, let's just say not the sharpest pencil in the box, said uh she wrote a letter to the acting administrator of DHS saying Secretary Gnome's decision to implement a shoes on policy on July 8th, 2025, likely without meaningful consultation with TSA was a reckless act.
45:01
All right, well, this is just likely, in other words, you don't know if she consulted with TSA or not.
45:07
So right now, Miss Dothwork, your words mean less than Bub Kiss.
45:12
And it's reckless.
45:13
Why?
45:14
Remember, the shoes off was because somebody, the infamous shoe bomber, right?
45:19
Guy packed explosives in the soles of his shoe, tried to light it on a plane, couldn't get it lit, it didn't go off.
45:25
But um, that was the the knee-jerk reaction was well, let's just have people take their shoes off and run them through the scanner, run them through the x-ray before we had the porno scanners.
45:37
So uh yeah, Ms.
45:38
Duckworth, uh, you just proved once again you're an idiot.
45:42
Uh, I don't know why people elect you.
45:43
I don't know why people listen to you.
45:46
So did she or did she not consult with TSA?
45:49
You don't know.
45:50
So you're making a judgment based on your assumption, not the facts, not the data, an assumption.
45:57
Probably I would not be surprised to find it's a politically based assumption about a policy which you have what about taking your shoes off in line makes us safer.
46:08
Answer that.
46:09
You want to go back to shoes off, Ms.
46:11
Duckworth.
46:12
Why would it make us show us?
46:13
Give us some empirical evidence.
46:15
You can't, because this is about politics.
46:19
It's about forcing people to comply with your delusions and um getting very upset at the Trump administration when with just about everything that they do.
46:32
And in another jump, I've been complaining about the Save Act for weeks now.
46:36
As I've pointed out, half of the Save Act, or at least what it's talked about, is constitutional, requiring a photo ID.
46:43
Congress can create a law that's that requires a photo ID only in elections for U.S.
46:48
House and Senate, right?
46:50
They have the constitutional set, the time, place, and manner of elections for House and Senate.
46:54
That's it.
46:56
And the the way the real ID, I'm sorry, the way the Save Act is worded, it's for federal elections.
47:03
Well, the only election for federal office that the people actually vote on, vote in is House and Senate.
47:10
So it technically matches.
47:12
But this whole idea about requiring citizenship for natural to for registration is completely a violation of the Constitution, right?
47:19
Now, yes, each and every state has a requirement that someone uh be a citizen of citizen of the United States to vote.
47:28
Every at least every const state constitution I've checked has that.
47:32
That's a state matter.
47:34
Nothing in the Constitution of the United States says that you have to be a citizen to vote.
47:40
Nothing in the Constitution of the United States says that the that the federal government oversees who is eligible to vote.
47:48
The Constitution does say you cannot be denied the right to vote based on your age, uh, your sex, your race, right?
47:55
But it says nothing about about uh uh who keeping a track track of who's eligible to vote.
48:01
So this whole, you know, well, you have to prove citizenship to register is unconstitutional.
48:07
But I just learned something new.
48:10
See, in addition to this unconstitutional, therefore illegal and void requirement that people show an ID to uh sorry, proof of citizenship to register.
48:21
The bill claims that the attorney general can sue state officials that register voters without the citizenship check.
48:28
Well, since the federal government can't legally require a citizenship check, that is also a criminal.
48:34
In fact, should the attorney general uh uh actually should this pass, should the attorney general sue suit uh somebody, that person could actually not only sue the attorney general, they could file a criminal complaint against the attorney general for the deprivation of rights under color of law.
48:52
Right?
48:53
You're telling me you're gonna come after me for following the law.
48:57
Well, the the Save Act, this that part of the say it was unconstitutional.
49:01
The Constitution, this Constitution and the laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof.
49:08
The Save Act only sort of is in the pursuance of the Constitution of the United States.
49:14
Therefore, it would not be the Supreme Law of the L.
49:17
Therefore, enforcing that law is actually a criminal offense, a federal crime punishable by a fine and up to a year in jail.
49:24
Now, does anybody really believe that the Department of Justice is going to arrest an attorney general for such a crime?
49:31
Ain't gonna happen.
49:33
Do you think there's a federal court in this nation that would actually consider a lawsuit like that?
49:38
I'm doubtful.
49:41
But this is why every member of the state needs to diligently read and study the constitution of this country, teach the rising generation to be free.
49:50
Because each and every time this government comes after our rights, we never seem to learn our lesson.
49:56
We simply, you know, most of us simply roll over and sit play dead.
49:59
Say, yeah.
50:00
Yeah, go ahead.
50:01
You know, I like the idea that citizenship is required to vote.
50:04
I agree.
50:05
Every state requires it.
50:07
But just because the states require it, doesn't mean the federal government has a legal authority to require it or enforce it.
50:14
The Save Act is unconstitutional.
50:16
And the fact that I'm not hearing anybody besides me talking about this is what drives me nuts.
50:24
And it's one of the few scenarios.
50:26
Now, I don't agree with why the Democrats in the Senate and the Congress are pushing it.
50:32
I'm disagree with why, but I agree that it's unconstitutional and therefore should be.
50:38
And by the way, the 1993 National Voter Registration Act.
50:41
Also a violent, a blatant violation of the Constitution of the United States.
50:46
No one's saying it, no one's doing because we never learn our lesson.
50:50
The Save Act is nothing new.
50:53
30 years ago, they did the same thing.
50:55
And we just sat there and said, Yeah, okay, whatever.
50:58
And you wonder why your rights are disappearing faster than a fart in a stiff breeze.
51:04
It's because none of us defend our rights.
51:07
Very few of us, I should say, actually defend most of us, most Americans don't even recognize when their rights are being violated.
51:14
We never learn our lesson.
51:17
The government, whose sworn duty is to secure our rights, spends most of its time trying to infringe on our rights.
51:25
And no matter how often we take a swing at that football and government simply takes our rights away, we keep doing it again and again and again.
51:34
Are we ever, ever going to learn?
51:38
You know, I love this line from Ronald Reagan.
51:42
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
51:45
We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream.
51:48
The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well-taught lessons of how they and their lifetime must do the same.
52:01
But we haven't fought for it.
52:03
We haven't defended our freedom, our rights.
52:06
We've let them be infringed time and time and time again and simply assumed either there was nothing we could do or somebody else would do it.
52:15
And that's why we're in this mess.
52:17
That's why we never learn.
52:19
That's why freedom is so close to extinction in this country.
52:24
Just look at COVID.
52:26
The government didn't even have to pass some rules.
52:28
They just had to say they were going to pass rules.
52:30
And Americans just seem to rush to hand over their rights.
52:34
We've never learned the lesson that freedom requires us to defend our rights.
52:39
That when government goes to infringe our rights, we must push back.
52:43
We must say no.
52:45
I can't think of a more liberating feeling than looking a government actor in the eyes and say, no.
52:53
It's wonderful.
52:55
It's uplifting.
52:57
But if we don't learn to do this, if we never learn our lesson, that that governments are more often taking our rights and defending them, then we're never going to live to be free.
53:08
And our children, as Ronald Reagan said, will one day ask us what it was like in America when when we're free.
53:16
Because we're selling our birthright.
53:18
We're selling their birthright.
53:21
We're selling our freedom.
53:23
More often than not for a lie, for a promise they never were able to fulfill.
53:29
They never even figured they would be able to fulfill.
53:35
And until we learn that lesson, freedom will continue to evaporate in this country.
53:42
Now, how do you learn?
53:43
What do we do next?
53:44
You know, I get asked that all the time.
53:46
Paul, what should I do?
53:47
And my answer is usually, well, it does.
53:49
It depends.
53:51
It depends on well, where what have you done so far?
53:54
What are you what do you have in the future?
53:55
What are your goals?
53:57
It's why I created the Constitution Study Wizard at Constitution Study.com/slash wizard.
54:02
It will ask you questions.
54:04
You know, when was the last time you read the Constitution?
54:07
Have you read the Federalist and Antifederalist Papers?
54:10
Are you part of a group?
54:11
What are your goals?
54:13
Now it does ask for your name and email address because we're going to email you suggestions.
54:18
The system will look at your answers and email you some suggestions.
54:21
I will look at your answers and maybe add some of my own.
54:25
But the point is, the wizard, absolutely free.
54:28
The suggestions, many of them have free options.
54:33
But it doesn't work unless you actually take the wizard.
54:35
And then listen, what's the worst that happens?
54:37
You take a couple minutes, you answer a few questions, then you get the responses, you get the suggestions, and you decide, nope, I don't like those.
54:44
I'm not interested.
54:45
And you ignore them.
54:47
But what about those that say, hey, I never thought of that?
54:49
Maybe, maybe that book would be a good idea.
54:52
Or maybe this reading over here.
54:55
Maybe that would be a good idea.
54:57
If we wish to live free, we must learn our lessons.
55:00
And the first lesson I think we need to learn is that the Constitution is not going to protect us.
55:05
It's only ink on parchment.
55:07
It's not going to protect us unless we learn how to use it.
55:11
And to start, well, I suggest you head to Constitution Study.com/slash wizard to get some ideas of how you can learn both to read and study the Constitution, how to teach Horizon Generation be free, how to recognize when your rights are being violated and how to defend and assert them.
55:27
That's what I created the Constitution Study for.
55:30
And I hope you'll take the wizard to get some ideas on how you how can you do it on your own.
55:37
Now I hope one of those ideas, one of the things is to come back here to the Constitution study.
