  This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:31
  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
• 0:34
  Some of you, well, you may be giving thanks because of the results of the elections.
• 0:38
  Well, well, others are probably gnashing their teeth.
• 0:42
  But as we go through this day of Thanksgiving, I wanted to bring to you some of the things that I'm thankful for, and you may be thankful for as well.
• 0:51
  Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engle here with the Constitution Study, where we read instead of the Constitution and teach horizon generation be free.
• 0:58
  And as you can imagine, well, the bill to do that is one of the things I'm thankful for.
• 1:02
  Now, of course, I'm thankful for the things that we normally are, right?
• 1:06
  I'm I'm thankful to God.
• 1:08
  I'm thankful for a Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
• 1:11
  I'm thankful that my eternity is bought and paid for.
• 1:16
  I'm thankful for my wife of now 36 years and our daughter who is well doing pretty well on her own.
• 1:24
  I'm thankful for the family that I have spread across this country.
• 1:27
  And I'm thankful that even though I won't be able to physically be with them, I'll have a chance to see them on video thanks to technology.
• 1:37
  That's an amazing opportunity to be able to see my father and stepmom and sister, and even though we're spread across the country.
• 1:46
  There's a lot of things that we can be thankful for.
• 1:48
  And I think the idea of who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
• 1:53
  Well, in my opinion, that that's well down on the list.
• 1:58
  I'm thankful that Kamala Harris is not going to be the next document, document.
• 2:03
  But I don't live my life by politics.
• 2:07
  I see so many more things to be well to be thankful for.
• 2:12
  You know, I'm I'm thankful that uh, well, I escaped from New York when I had the opportunity.
• 2:17
  That's right, I'm a refugee from the empire.
• 2:20
  And uh I got out some nine years ago, and boys, I look back, I am glad I did.
• 2:28
  I'm glad I settled here in Middle Tennessee.
• 2:30
  We have great friends and and uh church family, and I'm thankful for them, and I look forward to to seeing some of them over this this time, and and uh, you know, I'm I'm thankful where I settled here in Middle Tennessee.
• 2:46
  I've got a nice farm.
• 2:48
  I'm thankful that I can I can get up in the morning and take a cup of coffee and my dog and go out in the front porch, read the Bible, listen to the birds, listen to the wind of the trees, watch the the wildlife and the occasional cow or calf walk by.
• 3:12
  I'm thankful for those for those opportunities for those little things.
• 3:16
  And of course, I'm I'm thankful to you.
• 3:21
  See, you're one of the reasons uh I get to come on here every day and talk about things that I think are worth talking about.
• 3:30
  Let's face it, if you didn't listen, well, America Online, uh, America Out Loud wouldn't keep me around.
• 3:38
  They'd find somebody who could draw more of an audience.
• 3:42
  So I'm thankful for those of you who come and listen every day, whether it's uh on talk radio or on the podcast.
• 3:50
  I'm thankful for those of you who write in with questions.
• 3:54
  I love answering questions.
• 3:55
  I love that.
• 3:57
  Thank you for those that head over to the website and uh maybe buy a book or support the work that we're doing here.
• 4:05
  I'm blessed to have the opportunity to do this.
• 4:09
  And you know, I look back at my life, you know, and say, well, gee, all these little things that I never thought made that much of a difference actually led me to this point here where I'm here talking to you.
• 4:22
  I was born in a great country.
• 4:27
  And although, you know, the the freedoms and the liberties, the rights that we have are under attack, we still have some of the greatest rights protections in the world.
• 4:38
  In fact, the very fact that I can fight to protect my rights is a wonderful thing and something that's disappearing, not just here, but around the world.
• 4:51
  Here I'm seeing people who are trying to push back, who sometimes they just don't know how, but it's like they they see that something wrong and and what do we do and and how do we how do we defend our rights?
• 5:03
  And that's that's been a driving part of my life now for several years.
• 5:09
  I'm thankful that I could walk away from a career in IT and focus on our career and studying and teaching and talking about the Constitution.
• 5:21
  I'm thankful for those that, you know, when they they do recognize me, they they they're they're thankful for the work that I do.
• 5:30
  I had a couple times just this past week where someone said, Oh, yeah, you're the I know you're the Constitution guy.
• 5:36
  Someone else who is thankful that I I was helping them some ideas from some legislation that they were work they're drafting, and they said they're great to get advice from somebody who knows the constitution so well.
• 5:48
  That swells the heart.
• 5:50
  It makes me think that you know it's not just me in a microphone here recording stuff for you.
• 5:56
  It's I'm thankful that to some of you there's an impact on your life.
• 6:02
  So as thankful I am that you support me, I'm as thankful that I have the opportunity to support you.
• 6:10
  But I think Thanksgiving should be more than some little speech we give before dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
• 6:18
  Or something that that warms our heart when we actually take the time to think about it.
• 6:23
  I think giving thanks should also have some action to it.
• 6:29
  Whether it's helping friends and family when they need it, like last year when my sister um had an operation, she needed someone to be with her for a few days, and well, nobody was in town.
• 6:42
  I had the opportunity, I could I could walk away from what I was doing and and and go help her.
• 6:48
  Or the the friend of ours who lives not far from here, who he's a single dad.
• 6:54
  And those times when things just get to be too much.
• 6:58
  We're there to help.
• 6:59
  Lend them a hand.
• 7:01
  Or another friend of ours that has a a newborn that um she's got some allergy issues, dietary allergy issues, but you know what?
• 7:10
  We can still have them over and take some of the load off for an evening and have a nice conversation and a nice meal and help them recognize that they're still people that are willing to help.
• 7:25
  I think of the uh uh the rescue missions, both here in Nashville and and back up in Albany where I was from that are doing some some really great work.
• 7:36
  I'm thankful the ability I have to support them any way that I can.
• 7:41
  You know, I'm thankful to be part of a church where they're family as much as anything else.
• 7:48
  And I'm thankful for the opportunity they give me to preach every other Sunday.
• 7:52
  For those of you who who've never felt it, there's a need sometimes to just get stuff out.
• 8:00
  Sometimes for me, it's sometimes the need to preach.
• 8:03
  And I have that opportunity.
• 8:06
  So I have a really good life.
• 8:10
  And I'm thankful for every minute I get to enjoy it.
• 8:14
  And I hope to spread some of the thanks to others, not just by a little speech on the radio, but by actually doing something, by offering a helping hand here and there.
• 8:34
  You know, I've talked before, I meant I'm putting together a new event.
• 8:39
  Um, I've kind of written the material, and I'm actually planning this January to do the event here in Middle Tennessee.
• 8:46
  And I have some great people that are helping me put everything together and and get some advertising out, let people know so we can draw people in because I want to teach people something.
• 8:57
  And yes, it gives me great joy to teach people.
• 9:01
  I'm weird.
• 9:03
  Most people I know are terrified of public speaking.
• 9:06
  I enjoy it.
• 9:08
  In fact, I get antsy sometimes and I don't do it for a long period of time.
• 9:12
  But I enjoy the opportunity and I enjoy seeing the reaction of people when I uh I make a point and like the light bulb goes off.
• 9:21
  You know, I can almost see the light bulb sometimes.
• 9:24
  I can see it in their faces as this idea of of wait a second, I I'm I'm not a slave to the federal government or even the state government.
• 9:33
  Those light bulbs going off.
• 9:37
  Now I'm I'm if you by the way, and if you'd like me to do this, this it's called power in the hands of the American people.
• 9:46
  I refer to it kind of like you know, the superpowers, right?
• 9:49
  It's like when Peter Parker got bit by the spider, there's a period of time before he realized the powers that he had.
• 9:56
  And that's where the American people really are.
• 9:58
  They have this power, they just don't.
• 10:00
  Realize it yet.
• 10:01
  And I'm hoping to introduce them not only to the power, but give them some ideas of how to use it and how to go and learn more about it and go forward.
• 10:11
  To me, that's I enjoy doing that.
• 10:15
  I give I give thanks that I have the opportunity to do that.
• 10:18
  That I'm not stuck in a in a corporate job with, you know, all where all people care about is what'd you do for me this quarter.
• 10:28
  I get to enrich in people's lives.
• 10:31
  I get to help them learn how to live free.
• 10:36
  That's a wonderful way to spend my time.
• 10:39
  So I as I as I look at Thanksgiving.
• 10:43
  And yes, I'm having a wonderful meal with my wife and my daughter.
• 10:49
  Um, because I said most of my families are don't live here.
• 10:52
  They're they're spread across the country.
• 10:55
  But we're going to be enjoying ourselves.
• 10:57
  And we're going to be remembering the things we are thankful for.
• 11:01
  And yes, we'll be taking some time to see how we can share the blessings we have with others.
• 11:07
  And how we can be thankful, not just one day a year, but every day of the year.
• 11:17
  To be thankful for the things large and small.
• 11:22
  Like I said, I get up in the morning and I get to sit on a front porch in the country listening to birds and furry animals.
• 11:33
  I know other people that like the idea of waking up and being in a big city.
• 11:36
  That's what makes them happy.
• 11:38
  That's what they're thankful for.
• 11:40
  And I'm thankful that we have a choice.
• 11:44
  What makes me thankful may not be what makes you thankful.
• 11:49
  But I hope we can always remember as as much as we see things to whine and complain about, to be angry about, to fight against, which uh I admit I spend a lot of time talking about here on this radio program.
• 12:01
  We should be thankful that we live in a country where we can fight for our rights.
• 12:08
  Not simply that we have rights, or not simply that they're protected.
• 12:11
  We have the right to fight to protect our rights.
• 12:16
  We have the right to petition our government for a redoors of grievance, protected by the First Amendment.
• 12:22
  We have a uh a right to uh a trial by jury.
• 12:27
  And um uh an unbiased jury.
• 12:31
  So then it's not the government that's that's uh convicting us, it's a jury of 12 people.
• 12:38
  Hopefully, a jury of our peers.
• 12:42
  Hopefully a jury that is thankful that they have the opportunity to stand between a citizen or you, uh a person and a government and seek justice.
• 12:58
  Maybe next time you get that jury summons.
• 13:01
  Maybe you should be thankful of the opportunity that you've been given to seek justice for a fellow human being.
• 13:10
  To me, that should be something we're thankful for, not something we try to avoid.
• 13:16
  And yes, I'm also thankful for those uh those groups and that organizations that support not just the constitution study, but America Out Loud as well.
• 13:25
  They help keep America Out Loud on the air, they help keep the Constitution study going.
• 13:30
  Um and you can and you can help by well supporting them.
• 13:37
  For example, uh, are you having a hard time falling and staying asleep?
• 13:43
  Well, guess what?
• 13:44
  Our friends over at the wellness company, they have a great product that can help.
• 13:48
  I use it.
• 13:48
  It most nights I sleep pretty well, but sometimes I have a hard time getting the mind to shut down.
• 13:55
  It just it you know just keeps going over all that's going on.
• 13:59
  That's when I reach for restful sleep.
• 14:02
  It doesn't use hormones or drugs, it's it's a natural formula.
• 14:07
  Uses things like uh passion flower, chamomile, the layer, and your root and it it helps me helps my mind calm down, helps calm my mind, helps you reduce stress so I can get a good night's sleep so I can get back up in the morning and do uh what I'm so thankful I get the opportunity to do.

• 20:03
  Welcome back, everyday American jury join the Constitution study.
• 20:07
  And well, it's Thanksgiving, so we spent some time thinking about, at least I have what I'm thankful for.
• 20:13
  Well, let's take a look at what's going on in the world that we should also, I think in the long run, be thankful for.
• 20:21
  For example, I've been talking off and on about what's going on in the uh Mountain West Conference girls' volleyball league.
• 20:30
  And actually, it's in the conference as a whole.
• 20:33
  This whole idea of allowing men to play on so-called women's sports.
• 20:38
  I say so-called because if you're allowing men in the in the teams, then they're not really women's sports anymore.
• 20:44
  And of course, there's been the big bruha with uh you know San Diego State University and having a guy on the ladies on the women's basketball team, and some of the women just refuse to play against a man.
• 20:58
  And some do it as a political protest, some look at it as there's there's actually physical harm that may come to them in doing so.
• 21:06
  And you know, look at well, Paul, that's not anything really to be thankful for that you've got men playing, but I'm thankful for the women that are standing up.
• 21:17
  I'm thankful for the women that said we'd rather take a forfeit than pretend this is a fair match, or I think it was the four young ladies that have sued to not be forced to play against men and and in a women's uh in a women's game.
• 21:34
  I I'm thankful for those people who are willing to stand up for what is true, even if it's not politically correct, especially when it's not politically correct.
• 21:46
  So when I saw a group of congressional leaders sent a letter to the Mountain West Conference encouraging they prohibit male, they say biological male athletes, I just call them men from competing in women's sports, competing on women's sports teams.
• 22:04
  I'm thankful for them as well.
• 22:08
  I mean, yes, I'm a little conflicted because when you have both members of the House and Senate sending this letter saying they have serious concerns about the safety and fairness of allowing these men to play against women.
• 22:22
  Um a lot of it comes under the fact of Title IX and federal funding.
• 22:28
  And what conflicts me is that, well, the federal government shouldn't be should not be funding athletics anyway.
• 22:35
  They shouldn't be funding education, they shouldn't be funding uh athletics.
• 22:39
  So the federal government shouldn't be involved, although as human beings, the idea that it is unfair to have men playing against women in many sports, not all sports.
• 22:53
  There are sports where the physicality is not as much of an issue.
• 22:58
  Um volleyball isn't one of them.
• 23:03
  Track and field, uh swimming.
• 23:05
  These are not things, these are things where where men have a biological advantage.
• 23:11
  So I'm I'm thankful for these politicians that have put their name on the record, that have said in this letter to the Mountain West Conference failure to prohibit biological males from competing in women's sports is unfair to the women and girls who have worked tirelessly to compete at the collegiate level.
• 23:30
  They went on to say, we applaud the bravery of these female athletes and the university and universities in our home states for taking a stand to preserve Title IX when the Mountain West Conference would not.
• 23:42
  I'm thankful for that statement.
• 23:44
  As conflicted as I am about it coming with the tides of federal money, I'm thankful that there are people standing up.
• 23:53
  And I'm wish them the ladies in the Mountain West Conference all the best.
• 24:04
  Um wake up, recognize the scientific and biological insanity of what they've been promoting, to not put a mental disease over the safety and and and the life of the of these women that compete in their conference.
• 24:24
  Um, to me, that's something to be I'll I'll take the thankful of what I can.
• 24:28
  It doesn't mean I have to agree with it wholeheartedly.
• 24:31
  And and maybe that's something we should also consider, right?
• 24:36
  Because I don't have to agree 100% with what an organization does or what a person does.
• 24:44
  I can agree with what I agree with and disagree with what I disagree with.
• 24:49
  That's the idea of free, is we don't have to agree on everything.
• 24:54
  And uh, you know, that's this that's how I can look at a politician that says, I'm glad you signed a letter that pointed out the obvious and encouraged people to act in a in a sane and rational way without agreeing with the idea of it comes with a threat of federal money that should not be used for that purpose.
• 25:15
  It's the uh the understanding of um, it's one of the reasons why I don't endorse people or programs or you know, I endorse policies.
• 25:25
  I don't endorse people or or or parties because then I have I'm encouraged to agree with everything they say and do, and I just can't, but I will be thankful when people do what I think is the right thing.
• 25:38
  And um, well, let's just say I won't be thankful, and I may be a bit vociferous when they don't.
• 25:47
  Take for example, there are two uh high school cross-country runners.
• 25:52
  Um and uh they started wearing t-shirts that uh bore the messages save girls' sports, and another one that says it's common sense.
• 26:02
  XX does not equal XY.
• 26:06
  And I'm thankful for these young ladies who were willing to publicly express what to me seems to be common sense, reasonable and rational, especially when they found that a dude who uh consistently missed practices and didn't meet other key eligibility requirements to play on the varsity team, was placed on the varsity team anyway, displacing one of these athletes.
• 26:37
  Right?
• 26:38
  Now I want you to stop and just think about what's what happened right here.
• 26:41
  We have two young ladies, cross-country varsity, varsity cross-country runners, one of which was removed from the team to make room for a dude who did not qualify for uh uh for varsity athletics.
• 26:59
  There were certain key requirements that they did not make.
• 27:02
  It's bad enough that you had a dude who couldn't bother to regularly consistently attend practices, but he didn't qualify for varsity athletics, but they bumped a qualified woman, a qualified young lady, to put a dude on a female sports team.
• 27:22
  Now, I'm sorry, that school that that that's that's wrong.
• 27:26
  That's evil.
• 27:28
  And these two young ladies stood up and said something about it.
• 27:32
  And I'm thankful that they did.
• 27:34
  Why?
• 27:34
  Well, if on the one hand, now I know about it, and I'm telling you about it.
• 27:39
  So maybe you're learning a little bit more about this.
• 27:41
  And and by the way, it's it's in a uh a California school district.
• 27:45
  I'm not sure which school district, but it's in a California school district.
• 27:48
  So maybe if you live in California, maybe you can find out why, and maybe you can put your two cents in.
• 27:55
  But the sad part is the reason this came to my attention was not the fact that a aneligible young woman was bumped from a team to make room for an ineligible man.
• 28:10
  No, that's not why it came to my attention.
• 28:13
  The fact that these these two young ladies were wearing t-shirts bearing what seems to be again common sense messages, is not why it came to my attention.
• 28:27
  It came to my attention because uh athletic department officials allegedly forced these two students to either remove or conceal their shirts, claiming that they the shirts created a hostile environment.
• 28:46
  A dude wearing women's clothes, displacing a woman on a ladies' uh team, that's not hostile.
• 28:55
  But wearing a t-shirt stating a biological fact and making a political statement is now considered hostile in Camifornia, or at least in this one school district.
• 29:08
  And allegedly, the school officials compared a t-shirt that says it's common sense, XX does not equal XY was the equivalent of wearing a swastika in front of Jewish students.
• 29:26
  You know, somehow I I don't relate common sense with murdering people.
• 29:35
  No one is claiming that this dude should be dragged out and stoned.
• 29:40
  No one's saying this person is less than human.
• 29:44
  No one's saying that this person should be lose grades, have their property taken, be put into a camp.
• 29:51
  What they're saying is you don't have a right to steal a position from an eligible young lady because you're a dude.
• 30:02
  Now I hope these ladies continue to fight.
• 30:08
  And in fact, by all means, if they or their families know, have them reach out to the constitution study.
• 30:13
  I'll help however I can.
• 30:16
  I'll hope you draft a constitutionally sound argument.
• 30:20
  I'll be more absolutely I'm not asking for anything.
• 30:23
  I won't, I'm not asking you to pay me.
• 30:25
  I'm willing to help.
• 30:27
  And I'm thankful they have the opportunity.
• 30:29
  But I hope these two young ladies and their families will continue to fight.
• 30:34
  In fact, if you want to come on the radio program, reach out, let me know.
• 30:38
  You can come on the radio program and state your point of view.
• 30:42
  If you're from the school district that's doing this, I'll put I'll give you the say the same courtesy, right?
• 30:49
  Come on, explain your point of view, and uh we'll we'll see what happens.
• 30:55
  But I'm thankful that there are people that are willing to stand up for the truth in in the face of really a despicable correlation.
• 31:06
  I mean, the the idea of save girls' sports is equal to a Jewish swastika is not only offensive.
• 31:16
  It it's hyperbolic to the extreme.
• 31:22
  It's an attempt, and in fact, here's this is what I see.
• 31:25
  It's an attempt to censor to get people to self-censor.
• 31:30
  Oh, we equate it with with uh the the with Nazis, then they'll shut up.
• 31:35
  No, they should turn it right back around.
• 31:38
  If your only argument is you don't like it, and you want to call me names, that proves you have no argument.
• 31:45
  I won.
• 31:46
  Let's be done with it.
• 31:48
  Kick the dude off, give the girl back her spot, pay for her legal fees.
• 31:55
  If all you've got is name calling, then that's a time not to back away.
• 32:00
  That's the media's a time to push in and push in hard.
• 32:06
  I'd love to see an account added to the to the to against the school for um defamation.
• 32:16
  You're equating a simple statement with the symbol of genocide.
• 32:26
  No one's calling for genocide.
• 32:28
  What you're trying to do is get people to shut their mouths.
• 32:32
  Push back.
• 32:34
  Because by that logic, if you're telling me that that XX does not equal XY is like a swastika, well, then the LGBT pride flag is like a swastika.
• 32:44
  But of course, it's not because that statement is irrational.
• 32:49
  That is a statement of a bully.
• 32:52
  And I wish these young ladies and their families all the best.
• 32:55
  And again, I'm willing to help.
• 32:56
  Just reach out, Constitution Study.com.
• 32:59
  You can contact me through the website and uh we'll see if there's a way that I can help.
• 33:06
  Here's something else I'm thankful for.
• 33:08
  Uh apparently three climate scientists um wrote in the in the magazine Nature to argue that the objectivity in client signance is problematic.
• 33:23
  It gets in the way of political advocacy, which they argue is too important to deny.
• 33:30
  They say the values of objectivity and scientific research should be reconsidered.
• 33:36
  I'm thankful that people in the in the uh that scientific realm.
• 33:42
  These are climate researchers.
• 33:45
  You know, I've spent over 50 years being lied to about the climate.
• 33:50
  I was first told we're all gonna freeze to death by the 1990s.
• 33:55
  Then I was told we're all gonna boil away by 2000.
• 33:58
  Now I've been told that everything from you know the from hurricanes to crime in inner cities is a product of climate change.
• 34:10
  They're right.
• 34:11
  It's political advocacy.
• 34:13
  And I'm glad to see somebody saying something about that.
• 34:16
  I give thanks for that.
• 34:19
  Question, are we going to support them?
• 34:22
  Or we're gonna sit back and watch while they're they're probably publicly pillowed and vilified and called all sorts of names.
• 34:31
  You know, there's a there's a proverb in the Bible that says, whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
• 34:43
  I look at situations like this and say, yeah, you know what?
• 34:47
  If we love instruction, if we look at the what's going on and and we learn from it, well, that's wisdom.
• 34:57
  But if we hate the idea of being corrected, if the idea of being told no, you're wrong and this, and you need to look at this, well, that means you're stupid.
• 35:06
  Which to me really, again, correlates with Bonhoeffer's theory of stupidity.
• 35:13
  But again, I'm thankful that there are people willing to stand up and state the truth, the obvious.
• 35:19
  And I want to support them.
• 35:21
  And I think we can do that through our actions, through our pocketbooks, and yes, even through um through legislation and the work that we're and other work that we're doing.
• 35:35
  In fact, uh, one way you want to support um education, support learning things.
• 35:40
  How about supporting companies that protect our rights?
• 35:44
  Like Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
• 35:49
  They share our values, they support organizations like Turning Point USA, First Liberty, Folds of Honor, Students for Life in America, and they do so with the money they collect from the service they provide to you.
• 36:04
  They've got great three 4G and 5G service on all the same networks as the rest of the providers.
• 36:10
  Their customer service is 100% U.S.
• 36:13
  based.
• 36:14
  But when you pay your wireless bill every month, they don't use that money to support organizations that are trying to destroy your rights.
• 36:22
  They support the other organizations.
• 36:24
  So you can use your cell phone to stand against the left, to stand against the progressives, the Marxists, and those that are trying to destroy America.
• 36:34
  You want to help make America great again.
• 36:36
  You want us to be the land of the free.
• 36:38
  Well, then be brave enough to try a new cell phone service.

  Welcome back, everyday Americans.
• 39:44
  You've rejoined the Constitution Study.
• 39:46
  I'm wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving.
• 39:48
  I'm hoping you're having a happy Thanksgiving.
• 39:51
  I'm thankful that you took some time out to listen to the Constitution study.
• 39:56
  Or maybe if you're you're listening to this delayed on podcast that you had a
• 40:00
  Happy Thanksgiving, and I thank you.
• 40:01
  I thank you for your time.
• 40:03
  Got some of the things that I want to that I'm thankful for, that again may not initially think being, hey, we should be thankful for this, but there's some reasons to be thankful in it.
• 40:13
  One is the greater and greater awareness of the dangers of not only the um COVID-19 fake vaccine, but of an arrogant and controlling federal bureaucracy that thinks it can tell you know 300 million people to stick something in their arm.
• 40:35
  Now the people who've been pushing against this, right?
• 40:39
  Robert Gunniff Kennedy Jr., Peter McCullough, Joseph Ladapo, uh Ladapoe, they've they've been vilified for their positions that hey, there's we need to be concerned about certain things.
• 40:53
  Now we find out that the former head of the CDC, Robert Redfield is concerned that these MRNA vaccines have been contaminated with uh other new they have contaminated nucleic acids in them.
• 41:08
  In other words, they they they might have stuff in there that has a longer term effect that we hadn't thought of before.
• 41:15
  And that it's time to either pull uh these fake vaccines or to at least reevaluate the their safety.
• 41:24
  Now, some have made a point about uh the possibility of parts of the Simeon virus for 40 being included, which well, it's it's caused problems in the past.
• 41:36
  Now, Health Canada said a year ago that um the that Pfizer violated its obligations to specifically identify the SV40 sequence, which is uh which is the biological function when it's submitted, right?
• 41:53
  It's the part that I guess activates this.
• 41:56
  Uh of course, there are others say, no, no, no, it's not this, it's not the actual virus sequence, it's part of the enhancer.
• 42:03
  It's you know, we took a bit because it it helped the system do something, it's not the whole virus, which is, I guess, is good news.
• 42:12
  But the very fact that you have again, Mr.
• 42:14
  Redford, who is part of our operation warp speed, saying that you know what, we need to re-evaluate what were what the safety aspects here.
• 42:26
  Uh, one of which being the possibility of the MRNA spike protein sequence integrating in the human genome, meaning that it's not a temporary thing, it's a permanent change to your DNA.
• 42:44
  Now, he's not saying that it's true.
• 42:46
  He's saying this needs to be investigated.
• 42:47
  And that's what I'm thankful for.
• 42:49
  I'm thankful for people that are saying, hey, there are still questions we need to be investigating.
• 42:56
  We should not be rolling out booster shots because they compared to previous booster shots, they're fine, but we never decided if those previous booster shots were based on anything involving a real control group.
• 43:11
  Um maybe this information's finally coming to light, and um maybe people are waking up about the you know, the the not just the the safety of the vaccine, but the safety of the process that was used to shove this in so many people's arms.
• 43:32
  I'm also thankful for Senator Ron Johnson, who's been pushing hard to get the um the adverse health data about the COVID 19 vaccine available to the public.
• 43:45
  Um, in a letter that he addressed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services, Senator Johnson demanded that the agencies preserve all records referring to the development, safety, and side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and to produce the records without redactions by December 3rd.
• 44:07
  He says, while your agencies have largely ignored or failed to fully cooperate with my oversight efforts, I can assure you that your obstruction will soon come to an end.
• 44:15
  Your agency's refusal to provide complete and unredacted responses and documents to my numerous oversight letters on the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccine has hindered congressional oversight and has jeopardized the public's health.
• 44:30
  Now, again, this is one where I'm thankful that someone's finally standing up and saying, stop the the stalling, give us the data.
• 44:38
  You're a these are all, by the way, these are all government entities.
• 44:42
  These are all public entities.
• 44:44
  They work for us.
• 44:46
  They are employees of we the people.
• 44:49
  The idea that they're hiding stuff from us is anathema to a free country.
• 44:55
  Now, am I really thrilled about the idea of potential congressional subpoenas and this congressional oversight?
• 45:01
  Uh, a little bit, uh, a little bit, because the idea that that um uh Congress's oversight basically deals with money, the power of the purse, right?
• 45:14
  They created this entity, and uh, you know, okay, uh I guess they have oversight, but they never that's how they structured the oversight.
• 45:23
  You know, it it's a it's turned into a political football.
• 45:27
  But I'm glad somebody's saying, hey, preserve this data, we'll provide this data, or we'll issue uh subpoenas to get this data.
• 45:36
  And the only reason why I'm not wholeheartedly against it is all three of the entities you talked about, the CDC, the FDA, HHS, these are all federal agencies.
• 45:47
  They're all created by Congress.
• 45:49
  Granted, they were illegally created by Congress, but they were all created by Congress, therefore, congressional Congress has the has can write for themselves oversight privileges on their own entities, these entities that they created.
• 46:05
  That's the only reason why that this whole subpoena thing doesn't uh doesn't bother me.
• 46:11
  But it's nice to see somebody finally sticking up and saying, hey, you're dragging your feet, you're playing bureaucratic games, let's be done with it.
• 46:20
  And and over and and done with.
• 46:22
  We'll see if they follow through.
• 46:24
  But again, it's something to be thankful for.
• 46:26
  Information is coming out, knowledge is seeing the light of day.
• 46:30
  What are we going to do with it?
• 46:32
  What are we going to do with these, you know, hey, we need to re-look at the at the safety.
• 46:38
  You need to re-look in my mind, of whether or not you simply accept the word of the CDC and the FDA before you start plunging something into your arm.
• 46:48
  That uh, you know, these agencies are hiding information that should give you concern.
• 46:54
  But there's another thing that, again, I'm happy for, I'm thankful for.
• 46:59
  It's not as much as I would like, but it's a start.
• 47:03
  So uh Brianne Dresson has sued AstraZeneca.
• 47:10
  Now, this is where life gets interesting.
• 47:12
  So she was part of the um the human clinical trials in 2020 of AstraZeneca's uh uh their their vaccine um their COVID vaccine.
• 47:28
  Now, as part of the contract in volunteering as a or being a uh part of the clinical trial, AstraZeneca promised to cover all costs of injury she suffered after participating in the company in the in the trial.
• 47:45
  Now, the company then said, well, no, no, no, we're immune from lawsuit under the PrEP Act.
• 47:52
  Now, I've stated before, and I'll state again, and I'm willing to work with any attorney that's willing to fight this in a court of law.
• 47:59
  The PrEP Act is unconstitutional.
• 48:01
  It is a deprivation of the right of the people to petition their government for a reader of grievances.
• 48:08
  Congress is forbidden by the First Amendment for making a law that says you cannot sue somebody if you have a grievance against them.
• 48:17
  Right?
• 48:17
  Uh, by the way, I've reached out to uh Congressman Goser of Arizona.
• 48:24
  Uh, I sent him a letter about a month ago pointing out uh talking about the childhood vaccine uh injury act and and and that's kind of separate for the prep act, but they're closely related.
• 48:37
  And then there I listed all the parts of that uh program that are unconstitutional.
• 48:42
  Very simple.
• 48:43
  You Congress shall make no law, the the uh bridging of people's right to petition a government for a redress of grievance.
• 48:52
  Now, this this judge in this case, a Robert Shelby, uh Robert J.
• 48:57
  Shelby pointed out that wait a second.
• 49:00
  Um, Ms.
• 49:01
  Dresden is not suing you for injury from the vaccine.
• 49:07
  She's suing you for breach of contract because you said you would cover uh cost of the injuries, and you have not.
• 49:16
  In fact, in the judge's decision, he says the basis of Dresden's claim is a broken promise, not a countermeasure.
• 49:23
  He wanted to say later, Dresden was administered a covered countermeasure, and she was warned that she may suffer from adverse reactions, but the fact that she suffered from such reactions was not sufficient to ripen her claim.
• 49:34
  Rather, she only has a claim because AstraZeneca made a contractual promise to her that happens to involve the effects of covered countermeasure.
• 49:44
  So the judge is saying, listen, this is not about uh suing for injury.
• 49:48
  This is you promised.
• 49:49
  You made a contract that said you would cover the costs of any uh of injury.
• 49:54
  You still have to you this this case still goes on.
• 49:57
  And we'll wait and see.
• 50:00
  But I'm still, you know, I would love to file an anarchist free saying, excuse me, Judge, that may be true.
• 50:06
  What you say is is apparently true, but the PrEPD Act itself is a violation of the First Amendment, is therefore void.
• 50:14
  Because it blatantly violates a person's right to seek redress of grievance, go to the government to seek redress of grievance.
• 50:20
  You're saying you cannot sue.
• 50:22
  That's one of the primary ways we we reach out to government to seek a redress of a grievance.
• 50:28
  So while I'm disappointed that I've yet to see somebody bring that up in a case, I've yet to see a case where a person points out that the PrEP Act, and in fact the Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of, I think it was it, 1984.
• 50:42
  Um blatant violations of the First Amendment.
• 50:45
  I am thankful that this case was brought, and I'm thankful that the judge is letting it go forward for an absolutely legitimate reason.
• 50:58
  Does not fall under the PrEP Act.
• 51:01
  Um, you know, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take the W, right?
• 51:06
  Or at least the chance to play the game, the plan, the chance for the suit to go forward.
• 51:11
  Uh I'll take it because it's a step forward.
• 51:14
  It's a step in the right direction.
• 51:17
  And I think too often we we think if we don't get it all, then it's not good.
• 51:24
  Rather than saying, hey, you know, there's this you get it a piece of a time.
• 51:29
  You know, uh in a football game, the the offense generally advances one first down at a time.
• 51:37
  You know, yard by yard, you work your way down the field.
• 51:40
  I think we need to remember that.
• 51:42
  I think we need to be thankful for these little victories, right?
• 51:46
  The the victories of when someone simply stands up and says, No, no, this is not right, and we're not going to pretend it is.
• 51:53
  Uh, we're gonna express our discontent, even if uh say a school district calls it uh a swastika to do so.
• 52:01
  We're gonna be thankful when somebody that was involved in the rushed development of these vaccines says, uh, maybe we should take some time and reevaluate them.
• 52:12
  Or maybe you know, we should say, well, you know, um we should be thankful for those that are trying to get the data out.
• 52:20
  They're trying to say, hey, wait a second, you're you're hiding this safety information.
• 52:24
  You developed it with taxpayer money.
• 52:27
  You you are a you're a part of the federal government.
• 52:31
  This information belonged to the American people, cough it up.
• 52:35
  We should be thankful for those little victories.
• 52:37
  And yes, we should be thankful when a judge recognizes, if not the fact that the prep act is unconstitutional, but that this poor woman from, and I know I've seen a little bit of her story.
• 52:48
  She has suffered quite a bit from being the voluntary guinea pig.
• 52:53
  Um, but yes, she still has a right to go forward because it the truth of the of what's happened is yes, she has a right to sue, and she has a right to sue to get paid.
• 53:08
  Um, and uh we'll see, we'll see what how this goes in the future.
• 53:13
  I think we take the the the little wins along with the big ones.
• 53:18
  We we rejoice in the small victories, and we're thankful for the small victories, hopefully, if not as much as the big victories, enough to keep us going.
• 53:30
  Because if we forget these small victories, if the these small reasons to be thankful, well, then we get lost in the in the big picture.
• 53:40
  You you get lost.
• 53:42
  It's the person that's that that is forever a pessimist.
• 53:46
  You know, there's there's no matter what happens, there's going to be something wrong.
• 53:51
  There's got to be a problem.
• 53:53
  So I encourage you today, if you haven't already done so, find something to be thankful for.
• 53:59
  It doesn't need to be a big thing.
• 54:01
  It could be a little thing.
• 54:03
  It could be the fact that, hey, you live in a country that for the most part still protects our rights, if not nearly as well as it used to, and that you have a right to fight to defend your rights.
• 54:18
  And your right to fight to defend your rights is protected by the constitution.
• 54:22
  And it's why I think we need to learn more about the constitution and how to use this incredible tool to protect our rights.
• 54:31
  It's why I created the patriots program.
• 54:34
  It's why I put on my the uh power in the hands of the American People event.
• 54:38
  And the fact that so many people come to me saying, Hey, Paul, what should I do now?
• 54:44
  It's why I created the Constitution Study Planning Wizard.
• 54:47
  It's absolutely free.
• 54:48
  Go to Constitution Study.com/slash wizard.
• 54:51
  Uh give me your name and email address, and then answer a few questions.
• 54:55
  You know, when was the last time you read the Constitution?
• 54:57
  How difficult was it?
• 54:59
  Uh, what goals do you have in in your in your study?
• 55:03
  And about half a dozen questions.
• 55:06
  And what the system will do is based on your answers, it will start emailing you recommendations.
• 55:12
  You know, hey, have you thought about this?
• 55:14
  Or maybe take a look at that.
• 55:16
  And by the way, the wizard is absolutely free.
• 55:19
  Many of its suggestions are absolutely free, or there are free options for it.
• 55:25
  And it's a great way to kind of say, okay, I'm not sure where to go next, but okay, I can I can get an idea of going in the right direction.
• 55:34
  And hey, if none of them work out, if you don't like any of the suggestions, it didn't cost you anything.
• 55:40
  And I think you should be thankful that there are places out there that are willing to give this advice and provide this information, so much content, absolutely free.
• 55:49
  We live in an amazing time, a time where so much information is readily available and so much of it is free.
• 55:57
  You know, when I'm writing my articles, when I wrote my book, I use sources that are freely available, and I put links as everywhere that I could so that we can all see that we live, we should be thankful we live in such an amazing time.
• 56:11
  No, it's not perfect, but no time is perfect.
• 56:15
  But we live access to amazing amounts of information.
• 56:20
  The fact that we have to fight to protect ourselves only means we have so much to protect, it's worth it.
• 56:28
  So what can you do?
• 56:29
  You can give thanks for what you have.
• 56:32
  You can take a moment to say, I'm thankful and I'm pr and and I'm an energized and refreshed, so I can go out and continue to do the work to protect those things that I'm thankful for.
• 56:44
  And I hope one of them is to come back here for the Constitution study every weekday at 4 p.m.
