WEBVTT 00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:18.080 This is the cost of study on the 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:18.400 American 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.200 with your hosting. 00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.440 The New York Times used the slogan, all 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:36.240 the news that's fit to print. Today, much 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.960 of the so-called news may be fit to 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.040 print, but a lot of it needs to 00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:44.160 be set straight. Hello there, everyday Americans. Paul 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.000 Engel with the Constitution Study, where we read 00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:48.480 instead of the Constitution, teacher I shouldn't generation 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.560 be free. Glad you could join me today. 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:53.040 I've got some interesting news. I've been looking 00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.840 at some of these news items. And uh, 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.840 well, let's just say, you know how they've 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.720 been talking lately about artificial intelligence and it 00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:05.840 having hallucinations. I think members of 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.280 Congress are having hallucinations. I really think that's 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.160 the best way to describe this. See, a 00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.040 a group of 60 members of Congress, 66-0, 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.160 sent a letter to the FBI, to the 00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:20.720 Justice Department, and to the FBI. Uh, this 00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:23.280 was led by uh, who was the led 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.480 by uh Ariana Presley. Should 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.400 surprise you, not one little bit. I believe 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.120 all these members of Congress are actually members 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.400 of the Democratic Party. And what was 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.640 the concern in this letter? Well, I'm actually 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.400 reading from the letter, and if you want 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.760 to follow up, uh, I'll put a 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.240 link to the letter in the uh in 00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:46.080 the show notes so you can double check 00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:49.040 for yourself, see if your uh your representatives 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.320 there. Uh the letter says, uh to Dear 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.720 Attorney General Blanche and Director Patel, 00:01:55.520 --> 00:01:58.160 we are extremely alarmed by reports of black 00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:00.960 people found hanging from trees in numerous states 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.760 throughout the country. Now let me stop there 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.000 and ask Have you heard reports of 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.000 anybody hanging from trees around 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.280 the country? Because I haven't seen I haven't 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:14.800 seen that myself. 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.200 Let it goes on the series of death 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.520 raised significant suspicion of foul play given the 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.160 role of lynching our nation's history. Therefore, we 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:24.400 write to urgently demand a thorough, transparent, and 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.520 comprehensive federal investigation into every hanging death of 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.600 a black individual across the United States. 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:32.640 All right, let's back up just a second. 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.120 First of all, even if this was true, 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.640 the FBI doesn't have jurisdiction over 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.240 this, they only have jurisdiction if it happens 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.600 on federal land. A hanging, a a any 00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:49.200 homicide is a state jurisdiction, not 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:52.480 a federal jurisdiction. Now, I I was 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:54.960 reading an article about this, and they did 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.400 point to one, yet the one hanging. 00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:02.960 Uh uh a demotravion 00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:06.480 read was found hanging, not in a tree, 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.360 but uh he was fanging, he was hanging 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.720 at the Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.320 Now the medical examiner found no foul 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.520 play. This was a suicide. By the way, 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.240 his family confirmed that his girlfriend said that 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.640 he had been suicidal. He had sent suicidal 00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:26.000 texts the night before. 00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:27.680 Hmm. 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.240 Okay, there was another one. There was a 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.880 a in Raleigh, North Carolina, a black man 00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:35.280 was found hanging downtown. 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.640 Video shows him acting alone 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.560 with a cord. His mother said he suffered 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.240 from mental health problems. 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.400 Another, uh uh, there was a a 16-year-old 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.200 found on church property in Charlotte. Again, no 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:54.640 defensive noons, no assault, no foul play, no 00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.600 outside involvement. So what we're seeing are not 00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:00.240 people being hung in trees, as the letter 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.600 proclaims, uh, but or the the general lynching. 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.640 We're seeing suicides, not lynchings, 00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:10.320 suicides. But they claim that there are 00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:13.600 numerous examples of people found hanging in 00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:16.000 trees. So I said, well, all right, well, 00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:17.760 they've they've they they have to have some 00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:19.600 data there, don't they? They have to have 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.240 something to show that this is actually happening, 00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:22.960 don't they? 00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:25.360 Well, I looked at the bottom of the 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.560 first page and they have four footnotes, and 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.400 all of them include web links to the 00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:32.640 actual document. I said, Great, now I can 00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:34.800 do some research. Um, the first two 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.120 footnotes go to places that don't exist. They 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:40.320 may have existed at one time on that, 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.320 they don't exist anymore. 00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:46.640 The Crimson Record Seven State Modern Day Lynching 00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:49.760 Report is no longer on the net. The 00:04:49.760 --> 00:04:52.560 found hanging, Black Deaths, Unanswered Questions in American 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.480 Terror that refuses to stay in the past, 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.600 from the Washington Informer, not on the web 00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:00.400 anymore. By the way, the other two, 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.560 the Civil Rights Restorative Justice Projects uh uh 00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:08.240 study is about uh previous examples 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.560 of hitting. I think the the earliest one 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.920 was 1955 and lynching in 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.120 America, uh confronting the legacy of racial 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.680 terror. Again, these are historical, these are looking 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.640 at our history, not modern 00:05:22.640 --> 00:05:25.120 lynchings. These are all look what we did 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.320 in the past, look what we did back 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.120 again. What happened in the past was truly 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.320 horrible. But where does 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.200 the Ariana Presley and these other 00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:38.400 wack-adoodles get the idea that there 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:41.040 are just black men hanging in the trees 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.520 all over the country, and that it's the 00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:46.800 FBI's job to investigate? I know I I've 00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:49.440 I have a I have an idea. What 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:51.200 some people refer to as fake news, and 00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:53.920 what other people refer to as a hallucination. 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.320 I don't know if these reports are AI 00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:57.760 generated, I don't know if there was a 00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:00.080 human, but there was a hallucination that there 00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:03.840 apparently there's a hallucination that um uh 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.640 there are there are black men hanging in 00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:09.840 trees. Because in looking at the recent 00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:10.720 hangings, 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:14.000 they almost all seem to be suicide. In 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.840 fact, everyone I am looking at there there 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.640 there is one death that was referred to 00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:21.920 as a a homicide in which a 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.440 person was arrested. 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.920 Oh, yeah, it was a black man. The 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.360 black uh woman was found hanging uh uh 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:34.800 behind an abandoned house. The police found the 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.800 the perpetrator, or at least the the alleged 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.760 perpetrator, who was a 51-year-old uh black man. 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.800 In other words, not the lynchings that these 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.120 wack-a-doodles, these hallucinogens are 00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:48.480 hallucinogenic people are claiming. Now, 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.040 I want you to go look. I want 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.880 you to look at that letter because again, 00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:54.640 there's a lot of names. Look at those 00:06:54.640 --> 00:06:57.200 names and ask them where where are you 00:06:57.200 --> 00:07:00.320 seeing these lynchings? Because, again, the 00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:03.760 footnotes either don't send link to 00:07:03.760 --> 00:07:05.440 the pages that no longer are on the 00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:08.400 web or are talking about historic lynchings, not 00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:09.680 modern lynchings. 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.320 Now, let me ask you a simple question: 00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:18.320 are you okay with hallucin with hallucinating people 00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:19.280 representing you? 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.200 Because either these people are hallucinating, 00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:25.200 or they're too stupid to look up the 00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:28.080 sources before they make such an inflammatory statement. 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.680 Which means you, as their employer, right? Because 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.240 they, if they're in your district, they're representing 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.720 you and your neighbors, really need to call 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.840 them to task. They should publicly re uh 00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:43.280 uh uh rescind this letter, post a correction. 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.760 We do not have evidence of 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.920 black people found hanging from trees in numerous 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.800 states throughout the country. We lied. Or we 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.840 were too stupid to check our sources before 00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:58.640 we sent this letter demanding that the FBI 00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:00.560 and Department of Justice do something they're not 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.880 legally allowed to do. Now, oh, by the 00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:05.040 way, they claim that Congress uh passed the 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.240 Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act in 2022. 00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:10.880 There's just one problem with that, it's not 00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:14.160 constitutional. Lynching is murder, 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.960 it's it's it's it's it's it's it's murder. 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:20.160 And murder is not a power invested in 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.600 Congress except, or I should say, creating laws 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.080 against murder is not a power invested in 00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:29.440 Congress except within Washington, D.C. or other 00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:32.240 federal land. So they could write whatever 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.800 legislation they want. It doesn't mean that the 00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:37.440 federal government has the legal authority to overtake 00:08:37.520 --> 00:08:40.960 to oversee, much less prosecute these crimes. 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:44.160 And the only crime that that this one 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.240 in the the the this was where the 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.120 uh um it was a daily signal. 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.480 The only actual crime they found 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.400 was actually uh they found the criminal turned 00:08:56.400 --> 00:08:57.760 out to be another black man. In other 00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:00.880 words, not a lynching. So let me ask 00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:03.600 you, are are these people just hallucinating? Or 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.640 hey, somebody said something and I think, you 00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:09.360 know, it agrees with that crazy worldview. So 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.040 it must be true, and let me act 00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:12.240 on it. Let me try to get the 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.320 federal government to meddle in things they're not 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.600 legally allowed to because it plays to my 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.000 base. I mean, I have to wonder, are 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.920 these people hallucinating or are they just following 00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:24.720 people who are hallucinating and doing so 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.080 without any critical thinking? I mean, go 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.320 back to Ronald Reagan, right? Trust but verify. 00:09:30.400 --> 00:09:32.640 Okay, someone said something, I think it's true. 00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:34.640 Let me verify if it's true before I 00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:36.400 put my name to a letter asking the 00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:38.640 federal government to violate the Constitution of the 00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:41.120 United States. I think that would be that'd 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.280 be worth a the time of a member 00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:45.840 of Congress. It's not just Congressmen that are 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.120 hallucinating. You want who's listening? The government in 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:52.240 Minnesota. I I really think there's some 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.520 hallucinogenic thing in the water. So 00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:58.080 do you remember when Trump had his, was 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.280 it Metro sur Operation Metro Surge, right? That 00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:04.160 that large-scale immigration enforcement that went through 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:07.200 Minnesota because of all the the 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.520 fraud that was going on there, especially among 00:10:09.520 --> 00:10:12.880 the Somali community. Well, to 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:16.480 quote unquote assist businesses impacted by these 00:10:16.880 --> 00:10:20.320 immigration efforts, uh, Minnesota set up a 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:20.640 program 00:10:21.520 --> 00:10:24.320 uh to provide assistance. 00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:27.840 Now, Hennepin County, that's the home of Minneapolis, 00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:30.080 where a lot of this happened happened. Um, 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.440 they approved $2 million in funding for 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.840 local businesses that were impacted by Metro's uh 00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:38.880 Metro Surge. I'm kind of curious what 00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:41.520 impact they thought they would be covering, but 00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:43.760 okay. And they they launched this back in 00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:46.880 December of 25. Now the county received 00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:50.080 roughly 300 applications in 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.680 for this assistance. They granted 00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:56.640 82 of them. They spent about half a 00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:59.840 million dollars. However, they had more than 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:03.280 200 applications that were flagged 00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:05.760 as potentially fraudulent. This is according to their 00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:08.400 own local reports. As one 00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:11.840 Hennebank County commissioner said, the fact 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.000 that people, after all this fraud, felt they 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.840 could apply and get away with it. I 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.920 think it's a problem because clearly there's no 00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:20.720 fear out there. Until we get it where 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.280 people fear things, they're gonna keep doing it. 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.320 In other words, there are they 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.560 hallucinating that think they can get away with 00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:30.240 it, or are they hallucinating to think people 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.920 would actually enforce this? 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.680 Now I agree, laws don't stop people from 00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:38.960 committing crime, punishment of laws. It's the 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.800 fear of punishment. If people don't fear the 00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:42.800 if people don't get punished, no one fears 00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:45.920 the punishment. There's no deterrent to crime. 00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:50.080 So when I look at at um what's 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.880 going on in Minnesota, I I'm just assuming 00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:55.360 that uh everybody in and at least probably 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.480 in the state government, a lot of the 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.280 county, they're just hallucinating. Hey, we'll come up 00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:01.200 with two million dollars. Now, again, I want 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.880 to back up because I was I'm still 00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:04.720 looking for an answer to that question. 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.640 What assistance did local 00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:11.760 businesses need based on Operation 00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:15.040 Metro Surge? Because if they were 00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:17.920 employing people that were not here legally, 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.920 isn't that a crime? 00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:24.320 In other words, did Hennebed County try 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.200 to help criminals benefit from their 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.640 crime? If you're a business that 00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:34.480 knowingly hired an illegal immigrant, and that limit 00:12:35.280 --> 00:12:37.840 was detained and deported, 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.720 where's your loss? You committed a crime, you 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.360 got caught. Where's the loss? 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.720 Or is it just the hallucination in Hennevin 00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:48.880 County that, well, you know, you they didn't 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.520 maybe they didn't know, which tells you that 00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:54.000 businesses weren't vetting their people very well. 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.480 Where is the loss? Where's the the 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.360 negative impact, the legal negative 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.240 impact of the enforcement of 00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:06.800 federal law? Now again, I still have issues 00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:09.760 with the federal law, but I'm looking at 00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:12.480 what Henneband County's done. They said, oh no, 00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:14.160 you you know, we had you had illegal 00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:16.800 immigrants working for you, or maybe you had, 00:13:16.880 --> 00:13:18.080 I don't know, but maybe you had illegal 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.080 immigrant customers. I mean, that at least is 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.360 not illegal, but I'm trying to figure out 00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:26.800 what is the impact to these businesses 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.720 from illegal immigrants no longer being there, 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:34.080 having been taken away. Based on the 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.280 fact that um more appears more than two 00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:39.120 and a half times the number of people 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.320 that that actually deserve some help 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.680 actually apparently were making fraudulent claims. 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.400 I think the problem is, well, this is 00:13:48.400 --> 00:13:50.480 less opportunity for fraud. 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.160 So the news shouldn't be, oh, look, it 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.400 they got more for the the news to 00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:59.440 me is not um you know, you've got 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.080 this program. 00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:03.680 The news to me is what's in the 00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:06.640 water in in Hennebank County, Minnesota. 00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:09.440 So when I put these two together, what 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:10.880 do I got? I have a bunch of 00:14:10.880 --> 00:14:14.080 Democrats who apparently are getting fake 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.360 news, false news, and using that 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.160 to try and to to re well, how 00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:22.720 do they put it? Um strongly 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.400 encourage the FBI to investigate crimes 00:14:26.400 --> 00:14:28.800 that A don't exist and B, they're not 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.640 within their jurisdiction. 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.560 And then we've got Hennepin County, Minnesota that's 00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:36.800 that wants to pay out a couple million 00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:40.000 dollars for businesses that apparently were not harmed, 00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:43.600 or their harm was not a legitimate legally 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.880 based harm, right? 00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:48.320 What are they smoking? What are they doing? 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.720 What's in the water? Well, I know it's 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.520 in the water in DC, it's politicians. What's 00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:55.760 in the water of Minnesota? It's it's it's 00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:59.200 it's Marxist wack-adoodles in DC and 00:14:59.280 --> 00:15:02.080 and um Minneapolis, Marxist wack-adoodles. 00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:06.000 And they're hallucinating. And based on their hallucinations, 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.400 they're trying to get you to spend money. 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.880 Actually, no, they're not. They're trying to steal 00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:13.280 money from you to do this because if 00:15:13.280 --> 00:15:15.520 you live in Hennevin County, they set aside 00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:18.880 two million dollars to give local businesses 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.240 that were somehow impacted by Metro Search. I 00:15:22.400 --> 00:15:24.080 I I'm not I'm not sure what type 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.120 of of impact they were trying to 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.760 cover. 00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:30.480 So while all these people are going are 00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:32.000 are concerned about um 00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:36.320 AI quote unquote hallucinating. By the way, hey, 00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:39.360 AI doesn't hallucinate. You have to have consciousness 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.320 to hallucinate. AI is doing exactly what it 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.680 was told to do, find the best possible 00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:48.880 answer to a situation, not necessarily the correct 00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:51.120 one, the one they they have to find 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.000 an answer, even if it's not correct. So 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.640 people are worrying about fake hallucinations, which is 00:15:56.640 --> 00:15:58.720 just AI doing what it's told to do. 00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:02.000 We've got real people with real hallucinations making 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.720 all sorts of crazy claims that apparently not 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.240 enough people are vetting to see if there's 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.720 any even a semblance of truth to what's 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.160 being said. Maybe they need a good nap. 00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:15.760 Because remember, sleep is crucial to your health. 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.720 Maybe they're just sleep deprived. Now, I don't 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.720 know about you, I generally sleep pretty well. 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.800 Sometimes, especially if I'm traveling, I have a 00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:25.600 hard time falling asleep, though. It's when I 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.920 I look for some help. Now, I could 00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:30.640 use melatonin or other hormones, but they can 00:16:30.640 --> 00:16:33.280 actually disrupt your sleep wake cycle. Same with 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.480 pharmaceuticals, they can actually uh build up a 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.840 tolerance and and and a dependency. So when 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.160 I need a little help falling asleep, I 00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:45.120 reach for restful sleep from the wellness 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.760 company. I'm not a doctor, I don't play 00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:48.960 one on TV, but I see things like 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.840 chamomile and valerian root that have been used 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.400 to calm and reduce anxiety for 00:16:54.640 --> 00:16:57.760 millennia. Now it's backed by documentary 00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.760 research. It's vetted by the chief medical board 00:16:59.760 --> 00:17:01.840 of the wellness company. And guess what?

Because your 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.520 nose is about to witness the biggest breathing 00:19:13.520 --> 00:19:15.600 breakthrough on blender, breathing, 00:19:16.800 --> 00:19:20.080 breaking, built on spring, build on it all. 00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:37.760 So today we're talking about news that what 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.320 we need to be set straight. And of 00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:42.160 course, in the news a lot lately, at 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.840 least in the last year and a half, 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.800 have been uh immigration and custom enforcement and 00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:49.920 their enforcement policies. I've pointed out on 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.880 multiple occasions that uh uh while a lot 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.040 of people think everything ICE does is is 00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:58.720 unconstitutionally evil, um I did 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.120 have concerns with how ICE was performing some 00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:04.480 of its its uh duties. And apparently 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.680 a district judge agrees with me. Judge Jeffrey 00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:10.720 Beaverstock issued a preliminary, a 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.080 preliminary injunction against ICE, preventing their 00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:17.120 officers from doing warrantless 00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:20.560 operations at construction sites. See, apparently, 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.760 some ICE weenie, some bureaucrat said, oh well, 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.480 you know, construction sites, they aren't in the 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:28.640 United States. They're not covered by the Constitution, 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:32.160 they're just fair game. As the judge wrote 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:33.760 in his uh in his uh in his 00:21:33.760 --> 00:21:36.000 order, he said the government's position that the 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.400 construction site is an open field for which 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.200 no consent or warrant is ever needed is 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.240 unconvincing. Yeah, I'd say so, 00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:47.440 because again, a construction site is private 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.560 property. And just like any private property, 00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:53.600 A, you either need consent, a warrant, or 00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:56.560 an exigent circumstance. And then B, to take 00:21:56.560 --> 00:21:58.800 people into custody, you need prob you need 00:21:58.800 --> 00:22:01.600 a warrant or probable cause, which 00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:04.480 apparently has been problematic. 00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:08.480 Because Leo Garcia Venegas uh is an American 00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.680 citizen and a construction worker who filed a 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.560 class action suit after being detained 00:22:14.560 --> 00:22:18.000 twice at work. So here's this guy. 00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:20.400 He's an American citizen. He's at work, and 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.600 not once, but twice. ICE comes in and 00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:26.960 illegally detains him. They 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:28.880 didn't have the authority to search the place, 00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:30.720 they didn't have a warrant to arrest him. 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.120 Apparently, they didn't have probable cause because he's 00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:34.960 already an American citizen. 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:37.840 This is the problem we need to. Now, 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.560 again, a lot of people, I believe, possibly 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.680 including Donald Trump, thought, well, you know, illegal 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.840 immigration is such a problem. We can suspend 00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:48.800 the Fourth Amendment in certain locations because, well, 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:50.960 that's where a lot of illegal immigrants work. 00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:53.360 That's not the way the Constitution works, Mr. 00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:56.160 President. And I don't care what bureaucratic weenie 00:22:56.320 --> 00:22:58.000 or what legal eagle came up with the 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:01.280 nonsense that somehow construction sites are not part 00:23:01.280 --> 00:23:04.560 of the United States of America, it's just 00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:07.840 not true. So in this case, I 00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:09.760 got both sides of the news that needs 00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:12.240 to be corrected. Those that claim that you 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.240 know ICE is evil and everything ICE does 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.680 is is is criminal. And those that say, 00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:19.680 well, wait a second, uh, you know, ICE 00:23:19.760 --> 00:23:21.760 can do no wrong. They're just enforcing the 00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:23.360 law, leave them alone. We got to get 00:23:23.360 --> 00:23:24.960 rid of these illegal aliens. 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.560 Both are wrong. You still have to follow 00:23:28.560 --> 00:23:30.160 the law, even if you're dealing with illegal 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.120 aliens, you still have to follow the law 00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:36.480 in order to detain them and remove 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:39.680 them. And yes, it makes your job harder. 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.280 That's the point. The Constitution, in fact, 00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:45.040 the Bill of Rights was set up to 00:23:45.040 --> 00:23:48.320 make government's job harder so to 00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:50.560 limit their ability to infringe on the rights 00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:53.680 of the people. That's why, in order to 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:55.440 search, you need to have a reason. You 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.680 need to have a warrant, consent, or an 00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:59.600 exigent circumstance. Right? 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.880 You need to make the search reasonable. In 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.160 order to seize somebody or their property, it 00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:08.160 must be reasonable. That means you either need 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.600 a warrant or probable cause. It's designed 00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:14.320 to make government's job more difficult. 00:24:15.280 --> 00:24:18.160 That doesn't make it wrong. That's to protect 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.040 the people like uh this this Mr. Um 00:24:21.360 --> 00:24:24.720 uh was it Mr. Vinegazi Vinegas. 00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:28.480 He's an American citizen who apparently was 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.440 twice illegally detained by 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:35.360 ICE. Now I have a question. They've got 00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:37.920 a class action suit. Um 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.280 now does that mean if ICE goes into 00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:43.680 a construction area with a and this, by 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.960 the way, just covers uh southern Alabama. What 00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.040 about the rest of the country? There's a 00:24:49.040 --> 00:24:51.040 district judge, he can't issue a uh restraining 00:24:51.040 --> 00:24:52.880 order for the entire uh I'm sorry, a 00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:56.640 um uh tempor a preliminary injunction for the 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.400 whole country. What about the rest of the 00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.840 country? Are these policies going along simply because 00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:05.280 somebody said so? Maybe some lawyer came 00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:07.520 up with this uh crazy idea that, well, 00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:09.760 as long as you have a regional suspicion 00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:13.040 of wrongdoing, sorry, no, a regional 00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:14.800 suspicion of wrongdoing does not allow you to 00:25:14.800 --> 00:25:17.280 enter private property, whether it's a construction site, 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.920 someone's home, or someone's business. Now, at least 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.680 if it's a business open to the public, 00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:24.480 maybe you have you can walk in, but 00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.600 they can trespass you. That's right. The 00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:30.800 property owner can trespass police, and the 00:25:30.800 --> 00:25:33.040 police refuse to lose that and refuse to 00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:36.160 leave. That's called criminal trespass. 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:39.840 I wish more Americans understood this. While we're 00:25:39.840 --> 00:25:41.280 speaking of judges, let's take a look at 00:25:41.280 --> 00:25:44.400 Judge Mary McElroy from the district court for 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.200 the district of Rhode Island, who uh came 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.560 to an interesting decision. See, the Biden 00:25:50.800 --> 00:25:54.240 administration embezzled seven billion dollars in 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.360 grant money to promote solar power. Now 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.320 again, there's nothing in the Constitution that authorizes 00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:02.640 the federal government to spend money to promote 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.080 any technology. They promote uh technology through 00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:09.440 the issuing of patents and copyrights. Article 00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.360 eight, set I'm sorry, Article 1, Section 8, 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:13.600 Clause 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 00:26:13.760 --> 00:26:16.320 8, 8. To promote the pro Congress has 00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:17.840 the power to promote the progress of science 00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:20.640 and useful arts by securing for limited times 00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.120 to authors and inventors the exclusive right to 00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:26.480 their respective writings and discoveries. It says nothing 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.760 about handing out money. Now 00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:31.520 the judge looked at this and said, Well, 00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:34.880 when the EPA shut down this program, 00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:38.880 uh the the greenhouse gas reduction fund 00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:42.560 and inflation reduction act, which is funny. Um 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:44.800 uh it was under the inflation reduction act, 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.040 which actually drove inflation up. 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.160 The the the EPA turned around and said, 00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:52.800 We are going to terminate uh for 00:26:53.280 --> 00:26:56.400 solar for all programs. The the judge said, 00:26:56.560 --> 00:26:59.920 nope, nope, that's that's arbitrary and capricious. 00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:02.720 That's literally the word she used. I'm looking 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:05.920 at the at the court order um that 00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.640 it was it was arbitrary and capricious to 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.080 not embezzle billions of dollars to promote a 00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:15.280 specific technology in violation of the Constitution of 00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:18.720 the United States. Like I'm not surprised, right? 00:27:18.800 --> 00:27:20.560 For two reasons. One is we have a 00:27:20.560 --> 00:27:23.920 judge, which means I would say odds are 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.360 she didn't actually study the language of the 00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:27.680 constitution in law school. She studied what other 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.000 judges said about it. And not a single 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.560 judge I've heard of actually point out that 00:27:32.560 --> 00:27:35.120 the EPA doesn't legally exist. 00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:38.880 That the Constitution did not delegate the Congress 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.000 the power to regulate uh environment the 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.360 environment or to protect the environment. Therefore, 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.160 there's no reason for an EPA. Congress can 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:51.280 uh regulate interstate commerce, nothing about protecting the 00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:53.360 environment, which would mean trillions of dollars have 00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:56.800 been embezzled to this crazy agency that doesn't 00:27:56.800 --> 00:28:00.080 legally exist. Because an act of Congress contour 00:28:00.080 --> 00:28:02.720 the Constitution is null and void. Again, not 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.120 my words. The words of Alexander Hamilton in 00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:07.440 Federal 78, the words of the Supreme Court 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.240 in Marbury versus Madison, ex parte Seabold, Morton 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.480 V. Shelby County. I repeat these over and 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.760 over and over again because it's important that 00:28:15.760 --> 00:28:18.320 people understand I'm not just some crazy guy 00:28:18.320 --> 00:28:20.720 saying this is true. I'm providing you facts 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.760 and evidence, place you can research to prove 00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:27.200 this. So the this judge simply says, 00:28:27.360 --> 00:28:29.520 hey, wait a second. It was arbitrary and 00:28:29.520 --> 00:28:32.640 capricious. I think Mr. Zeldon, who's the administrator 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.560 of the EPA, I think the president of 00:28:34.560 --> 00:28:36.480 the United States said, wait a second, the 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.920 federal government does the Constitution doesn't authorize the 00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:42.400 United States states to fund 00:28:43.040 --> 00:28:46.400 programs to promote certain technologies. That's not 00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:48.640 in the Constitution. The 10th Amendment says then 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:50.640 that's not a power we have, it belongs 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.360 to somebody else. Therefore, Congress doesn't have the 00:28:53.360 --> 00:28:55.840 legal authority to spend money on something that 00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:58.880 they're constitutionally prohibited from actually 00:28:58.880 --> 00:28:59.520 doing. 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.600 So while one judge is saying the government 00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:06.800 has to violate the constitution and embezzle money 00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:10.240 from the American people, another judge, um, this 00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.440 one from the Middle District of Pennsylvania, said, 00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:16.240 uh, no, the federal government doesn't have to 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.320 spend money on groups that 00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:20.800 doing so would violate the Constitution of the 00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:23.760 United States. A judge Jennifer 00:29:23.760 --> 00:29:27.200 Wilson uh was looking at a case 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.240 where pro-abortion groups were alleging 00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:33.200 that they were they they were owed grant 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.240 money because they were but because but they 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:39.680 were excluded from competing for public funds because, 00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:41.920 well, guess what? The federal government's not supposed 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.080 to be funding abortion, at least according to 00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:47.440 the Hyde Amendment. So the National Family Planning 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.640 and Reproductive Health Association and the Family 00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.080 Health Council of Central Pennsylvania filed suit saying 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.320 we deserve the bribes to the American, we 00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:58.720 deserve them embezzling money to give it to 00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.480 us so that we can do what we 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.200 want to do, even though uh, well, you 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.920 know, we're not 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.800 abortion's a controversial subject and all that. Well, 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:10.960 this judge says, no, you're you're not entitled 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.080 to public funds. She can't she uh stated 00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:16.720 that the case was case was moot because 00:30:17.040 --> 00:30:20.320 the uh uh their their um their other 00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:21.920 you know what they claim would be otherwise 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.160 qualified applicants are getting information. I said that 00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:25.520 there was not there was not a real 00:30:25.520 --> 00:30:28.320 and immediate harm to them. They didn't have 00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:31.600 a they didn't have a right to this 00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:32.560 money. 00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:35.520 And in another case, we have now a 00:30:35.520 --> 00:30:38.160 another federal appeal court. This is I'm I'm 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.600 sorry, this this this uh um Missouri 00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:44.640 um uh referendum about 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.920 their uh their district 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.480 map. It's like watching a tennis match, it 00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.080 goes back and forth and back and forth 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.800 and back and forth. An appeals court just 00:30:54.800 --> 00:30:58.080 ordered Missouri to use the new 00:30:58.080 --> 00:31:01.200 map in order to run its midterm 00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:04.160 elections, even though they well, it's interesting. They 00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:06.720 say the Supreme Court has blocked twice. The 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.360 Supreme Court has said we're not touching this. 00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:11.760 See, uh, this is where wording is important. 00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:14.080 Uh, I'm reading this from the Daily Call. 00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:16.960 The Supreme Court didn't block it twice, the 00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:20.240 Supreme Court refused to hear it twice. That's 00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.560 the problem. I think what's you they refuse 00:31:22.560 --> 00:31:24.400 to hear it once, uh, once they may 00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.480 have gone back and said, you just do 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.800 what they said. But the Eighth Circuit Court 00:31:28.800 --> 00:31:31.840 of Appeals said that state officials must adopt 00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:33.760 the map for the um 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.840 for the the midterm election, even though again 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.880 Supreme Court said, yeah, maybe they should they're 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:42.880 gonna keep the federal court should keep their 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.320 distance. Here's the problem. First of all, the 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:48.880 I've quoted before the Missouri Constitution 00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:52.240 prohibits district maps from falling under 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.360 from being subject to referendum. It's in I 00:31:55.360 --> 00:31:58.000 forget the actual quote, but it's in the 00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.040 Constitution of Missouri. District maps shall not be 00:32:01.040 --> 00:32:04.160 subject to referendum. So this is an 00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:06.240 illegal move within the count within the state 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.840 anyway. But furthermore, this is 00:32:09.840 --> 00:32:12.880 a deprivation of liberty because 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.840 there is no legal action to 00:32:17.840 --> 00:32:19.600 rescind the new map. 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.200 The map was passed by the legislature, 00:32:23.520 --> 00:32:26.240 signed by the governor, and there's not a 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:29.440 single legal jurisdiction that has 00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.800 found the map unconstitutional. What you have 00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:35.920 is a referendum, which is itself unconstitutional, 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.320 asking the people what they think about this. 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.920 Should they adopt the new map or the 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:42.720 old map? But again, that's all unconstitution. This 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.520 is a complete disaster, and all we have 00:32:45.520 --> 00:32:47.920 are courts making a mess in 00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:51.360 this. This is to me, this is crazy. 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.360 Now, I belie I agree with the with 00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:56.640 the Eighth Circuit. There's no legal 00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:57.200 basis to 00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.280 uh to claim that map is unconstitutional. There's 00:33:01.280 --> 00:33:04.000 been no adjudication, it's unconstitutional. It is the 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.800 legally adopted map of the state. And the 00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:10.000 and even if the referendum was legal, 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:13.440 until the referendum passes, there's no 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.560 legal justification to disable the 00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:20.400 new map. So it's this whole thing is 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.000 is crazy, which is kind of what I'm 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.160 used to. It's just this has been one 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.520 of the most crazy examples I've seen of 00:33:27.760 --> 00:33:28.960 all this nonsense. 00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:32.080 But it's another example of having to look 00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:34.000 at the news and setting it straight. 00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:36.400 A lot of the news is pointing out, 00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.560 well, this is a Republican takeover, or this 00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:41.520 is what you have is a state 00:33:41.840 --> 00:33:44.720 that the the representatives of the people 00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:48.080 created a new district, a new district 00:33:48.080 --> 00:33:51.200 map, and a group, a group of people, 00:33:51.280 --> 00:33:52.400 I don't know how large it is, but 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.960 a group of people try to find a 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.400 way to overturn that. And now they're trying 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.560 to find a legal, even though it is 00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:02.560 not legal, the way they're going about doing 00:34:02.560 --> 00:34:04.720 it is not legal, they're still trying to 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:05.360 do that. 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.320 And isn't that news that needs to be 00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:11.760 set straight? You're not legally allowed to simply 00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:14.480 bring a district map up for referendum. That's 00:34:14.640 --> 00:34:16.720 that's not what the law says. I know 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:18.160 the law. What am I talking about? The 00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:19.600 law. I mean, it's like next thing you 00:34:19.600 --> 00:34:22.080 know, I'll be saying that federal agencies need 00:34:22.080 --> 00:34:24.640 warrants to enter private property and arrest people. 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.200 Yeah, you know, look crazy things like that. 00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.400 That um the federal government can embezzle 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.440 trillions of dollars to fund programs and political 00:34:33.520 --> 00:34:36.320 agendas that have that are specifically prohibited by 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.200 the Constitution of the United States. What I'm 00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:41.520 I and I'm supposedly the crazy one. All 00:34:41.520 --> 00:34:43.440 right, listen, I gotta I have another break 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.760 coming up. Before I go, though, you know, 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:47.840 a lot of these cases, a lot of 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:49.840 these things we're looking at, are being supported 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.400 by organizations that don't want, they don't like 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.000 your rights, right? They don't they want to 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.080 take away your rights, they want to spend 00:34:56.080 --> 00:34:59.200 your money on their pet projects, and uh 00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:02.480 they're being funded by you. Well, not directly, 00:35:02.560 --> 00:35:04.560 you're not sending them a check, you're doing 00:35:04.560 --> 00:35:07.760 business with corporations that are donating to these 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.320 organizations. How about we buy from companies that 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:12.880 believe what we believe? Now, one of those 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.760 is Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wildest 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:18.480 provider.

Not just 00:36:54.560 --> 00:36:56.800 because of the radio program or the website 00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.360 or the articles I do, but because we 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.160 live in the information age. Corporate media has 00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:04.080 been lying to us for decades and they've 00:37:04.080 --> 00:37:06.560 been caught. So now we need to find 00:37:06.560 --> 00:37:08.160 places we can get news that we can 00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:10.480 both trust and verify.

By sharing 00:37:38.640 --> 00:37:42.000 this information, by sharing ideas that corporate media 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.960 and government overlords don't want people to know, 00:37:45.200 --> 00:37:48.160 you're not just sharing America out loud.

Yes, we have to purify our water, 00:38:06.160 --> 00:38:07.600 but what are we doing to fix the 00:38:07.600 --> 00:38:10.400 water structure so the body can actually absorb 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:12.320 it?

Take control of your health today. 00:39:59.680 --> 00:40:02.880 Welcome back, everyday Americans. You've rejoined the Constitution 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.360 study. And today we're looking at setting the 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:08.000 news straight on certain items. Now, of course, 00:40:08.080 --> 00:40:09.920 there's been a lot of talk lately about 00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:12.880 the Save America Act, the Save Act. And 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:14.240 a lot of people, especially a lot of 00:40:14.240 --> 00:40:16.800 conservatives, they're promoting this. They've got to they've 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:18.160 got to shove this through at the federal 00:40:18.160 --> 00:40:20.000 level because, well, we need to save our 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.160 country and save our elections. And the fact 00:40:22.160 --> 00:40:25.360 that it's blatantly unconstitutional doesn't 00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:27.680 seem to matter. Now you know why I 00:40:27.680 --> 00:40:30.320 don't join organizations like conservative groups or Republican 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:33.200 groups. I don't, because they often get things 00:40:33.200 --> 00:40:36.560 wrong. Now, I point out there's 00:40:36.560 --> 00:40:38.560 nothing in the Constitution that gives the federal 00:40:38.560 --> 00:40:41.760 government or Congress the authority to regulate voter 00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.040 registration. They can pass laws that say you 00:40:45.040 --> 00:40:46.720 can't be denied the right to vote for 00:40:46.720 --> 00:40:49.120 certain reasons, but there's nothing about how a 00:40:49.120 --> 00:40:51.840 state goes about voter registration. Now, each and 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.800 every state that I've checked has a 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.520 requirement in the constitution of the state that 00:40:57.520 --> 00:40:59.600 you be a United States citizen in order 00:40:59.600 --> 00:41:02.320 to vote. It's not in the federal constitution, 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.280 it's in the state constitution. So this whole 00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:08.640 registration nonsense in the SAVE Act is unconstitutional. 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.400 There is a part of the SAFE Act 00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:13.760 that is constitutional. See, under 00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:16.640 Article 1, Section 4, Congress, uh I'm sorry, 00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:18.400 the time, place, and manners of holding elections 00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:21.120 for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in 00:41:21.120 --> 00:41:23.760 each state by the legislature thereof. But the 00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:25.760 Congress may at any time by law make 00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:28.480 or alter such regulations, except as a place 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.920 of choosing senators. So Congress can make laws 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.960 altering the regulations about the time, place, and 00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:38.240 manner, but only of elections of senators and 00:41:38.240 --> 00:41:41.360 representatives. So if Congress wants to say you 00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.720 need a photo ID to vote, the only 00:41:44.720 --> 00:41:47.600 elections that it legally impacts are U.S. senators 00:41:47.600 --> 00:41:50.800 and U.S. representatives. Not any other election. 00:41:51.040 --> 00:41:54.000 Because every other election is a state 00:41:54.240 --> 00:41:56.640 election, not a federal, not even not for 00:41:56.720 --> 00:41:59.120 federal office. And I'm sure someone out there 00:41:59.200 --> 00:42:01.120 screaming, but Paul, but Paul, what about the 00:42:01.120 --> 00:42:03.200 president? What about the president? The people don't 00:42:03.200 --> 00:42:06.400 vote for president. They vote for electors for 00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:09.280 president. They vote to tell their legislature which 00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.720 batch of presidential electors they should appoint. 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:16.000 It is still the legislators that appoint electors. 00:42:16.240 --> 00:42:18.480 The people don't vote for president, they don't 00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.960 vote for electors. They vote to they basically 00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.760 vote to inform their legislature their 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:27.120 preference for electors. And in not, 00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:28.800 I don't even think in every state those 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:32.000 those elections are legally binding on the legislature. 00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:33.520 They may or may not be, I haven't 00:42:33.520 --> 00:42:35.200 investigated enough of the states to really make 00:42:35.200 --> 00:42:37.280 a firm statement on that. So here we 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.040 have the federal government making, you know, trying 00:42:39.040 --> 00:42:40.720 to pass this illegal act. And of course, 00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:43.360 every Republican here talking about, every conservative you're 00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:44.560 talking about, oh my God, we got to 00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:46.320 pass this unconstitutional. Well, they don't say it's 00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.440 unconstitutional. We got to pass this legislation because 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.280 it is to save our elections. We got 00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:54.160 to destroy the constitution to save the constitution. 00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:58.240 And then this story comes out. You 00:42:58.240 --> 00:43:00.960 see, multiple states have already passed their own 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.320 version of the Save Act. There's a 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.040 group called the State Freedom Caucus Network. Uh, 00:43:07.200 --> 00:43:10.480 these are elected officials, and they are advancing 00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:13.520 legislation in Arizona, South Dakota, Wyoming, 00:43:13.680 --> 00:43:15.920 and more to do this pretty much the 00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:17.520 same thing that the SAVE Act would do, 00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:20.160 but to actually make it be legal. 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.520 It would follow the Constitution above the United 00:43:23.520 --> 00:43:26.880 States and I believe of their state. 00:43:27.600 --> 00:43:30.720 Now, what I find interesting is Representative 00:43:30.720 --> 00:43:34.080 Keith Self of Texas uh told 00:43:34.080 --> 00:43:36.160 the the Daily Signal at a at the 00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:39.360 network's annual summit that this was absolutely a 00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:41.840 solution to the Senate refusing to act. 00:43:42.720 --> 00:43:45.280 Well, okay, um, in other words, the Senate 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:47.760 is not gonna by the way, the Senate 00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:50.000 is not refusing to act because they realize 00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:52.800 the Save Act is unconstitutional. They're playing politics. 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.520 That's nothing new. That's what politicians do, they 00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:59.200 play politics. But even this representative is saying, 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.200 well, listen, the states have to do it 00:44:01.200 --> 00:44:03.920 because the federal government won't. Well, the federal 00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:07.200 government is prohibited, prohibited by the 00:44:07.200 --> 00:44:10.320 constitution from doing this. Paul, where is it 00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.440 prohibited? The 10th Amendment. The powers not 00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.920 delegated to the United States by this constitution, 00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:18.000 nor prohibited by it to the states, are 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:20.240 reserved to the states respectively, or to the 00:44:20.240 --> 00:44:20.480 people. 00:44:21.600 --> 00:44:24.560 Nowhere in the Constitution is is the United 00:44:24.560 --> 00:44:27.920 States authorized to register people to vote. The 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.640 Constitution does not even require a person be 00:44:30.640 --> 00:44:32.880 a citizen to vote. 00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.320 Let me say that again. While it does 00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.480 protect the rights of citizens to vote, there 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.640 is nothing in the constitution that requires a 00:44:40.640 --> 00:44:43.120 person be a citizen to vote. That exists 00:44:43.120 --> 00:44:46.400 in the state constitutions, not the federal constitution. 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:50.320 So here we have states doing what states 00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:53.280 should be doing, protecting their own elections by 00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.280 passing things like, well, you if if we 00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:56.960 require you to be a U.S. citizen to 00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:58.960 vote, let's make sure you're a citizen before 00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.280 you register to vote. If we want to 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:04.400 make sure our elections are free and 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.200 fair, let's make sure that the person voting 00:45:07.200 --> 00:45:09.280 is actually the person that's supposed to vote. 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:11.520 How do we do that? Photo ID. 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:14.320 The states can do it, it's not prohibited 00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.080 by the states to deal with voter registration. 00:45:16.240 --> 00:45:17.920 It's not prohibited by the states to require 00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:20.160 a photo ID. Therefore, this is a state 00:45:20.160 --> 00:45:21.840 power, and the states are doing their job. 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.600 But I got to go back to Mr. 00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:26.880 Self and all these other Republican 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.320 idiots that think the federal government has 00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:33.360 to do everything. It's actually 00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:36.240 illegal. Constitution is the supreme law of the 00:45:36.240 --> 00:45:39.120 land. It is illegal for the federal government 00:45:39.120 --> 00:45:41.040 to do all of these things. I'm glad 00:45:41.040 --> 00:45:42.800 the states are doing it. I want more 00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:44.880 states to do this. I just wish we 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.200 had better people representing us that realize this 00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:49.760 is a state problem that needs a state 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:53.040 solution, not a federal problem that's going 00:45:53.040 --> 00:45:55.600 to trample on the rights of the American 00:45:55.600 --> 00:45:58.240 people to uh well to 00:45:58.720 --> 00:46:00.480 regulate to self-govern. 00:46:01.680 --> 00:46:04.080 Now, I want to remind people, I love 00:46:04.080 --> 00:46:06.000 when people ask me questions. I don't get 00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.640 nearly as many questions as I would like, 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:10.560 especially ones that you marked that you want 00:46:10.560 --> 00:46:11.760 me to answer here on the radio. I 00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:13.440 just got I got one the other day 00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:14.640 that I had to bring to you, and 00:46:14.640 --> 00:46:16.720 it actually comes from a regular question, someone 00:46:16.720 --> 00:46:19.360 who's written me several questions before, and he 00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:22.800 wanted me to comment on an Illinois 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:26.240 law called the Responsibility in Firearm uh 00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:29.440 Legislation Act. Um, what 00:46:29.680 --> 00:46:33.040 is this law supposed to do? As I 00:46:33.040 --> 00:46:36.080 understand it, the state of Illinois is 00:46:36.080 --> 00:46:38.640 claiming that they spend $20 billion 00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:42.480 a year on things like emergency services, 00:46:42.640 --> 00:46:45.840 funerals, and law enforcement for gun violence, and 00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:48.560 that it's all the gun manufacturers' fault. 00:46:49.200 --> 00:46:51.360 So they want to find, they want to 00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:54.720 find the the gun manufacturers to contribute 00:46:54.720 --> 00:46:57.360 to a st a fund to help offset 00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.400 these costs. Now, the first question the person 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:01.920 had was they he wanted my take on 00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:04.160 it. Where do I see this? And uh 00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.840 to me, um, well, here's the 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.720 problem. Uh, this appears to be an attempt 00:47:10.720 --> 00:47:13.600 to end around the protection of protection of 00:47:13.600 --> 00:47:16.640 lawful commerce and arms act, which says that 00:47:16.640 --> 00:47:19.360 uh cities and states and the federal government 00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:22.160 cannot sue people cannot sue a 00:47:22.160 --> 00:47:25.600 firearms manufacturer for a legal product because it 00:47:25.600 --> 00:47:28.800 was misused by a third party, right? 00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:31.120 A lot of people say this is immunity 00:47:31.120 --> 00:47:34.240 for gun manufacturers, it's a limited immunity. 00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:37.360 If you make your gun and it's legal 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:39.840 to sell and you sell it, you're not 00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:41.760 responsible if someone does something evil with it. 00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:43.520 By the way, this is the same type 00:47:43.520 --> 00:47:46.320 of logic that says if you build a 00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:49.440 car and it's legal and someone then takes, 00:47:49.680 --> 00:47:51.760 buys that car, and then drives drunk and 00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:55.120 kills somebody, Ford, Chevy, Toyota, they're not 00:47:55.120 --> 00:47:57.520 responsible for the illegal actions of what was 00:47:57.520 --> 00:47:58.880 outside of their control. 00:48:00.240 --> 00:48:02.960 Now, there's some limitations in uh the the 00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.520 PLCAA about uh, well, 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:08.160 misleading advertising and stuff like that. But again, 00:48:08.240 --> 00:48:11.040 we're not talking about that. Illinois simply says 00:48:11.120 --> 00:48:13.520 we have a gun violence problem. And they 00:48:13.520 --> 00:48:16.640 do have a gun violence problem. The problem 00:48:16.640 --> 00:48:19.280 is they think the problem is the gun, 00:48:19.600 --> 00:48:22.880 not the people that Illinois keeps letting 00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.920 loose on their streets. That it's a it's 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.200 a law enforcement problem, that it is 00:48:29.200 --> 00:48:31.840 a a it is a people problem, not 00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:34.480 a gun problem. They keep thinking this, they 00:48:34.560 --> 00:48:36.320 keep coming up with news ways to twist 00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:38.800 this. So uh he asked for my opinion, 00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:40.160 he asked that I answer it here on 00:48:40.160 --> 00:48:42.160 the radio, and I'm telling you, this is 00:48:42.160 --> 00:48:45.360 a this is a 14th Amendment violation. Why? 00:48:45.680 --> 00:48:48.960 Because it deprives gun manufacturers of 00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:52.400 their liberty and their property without 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.520 due process of law. In other words, they're 00:48:55.520 --> 00:48:57.360 saying you can't, you know, if you're gonna 00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:59.920 manufacture these and and we're gonna take your 00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:03.280 property in your money, even though 00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:05.440 you have not committed a crime. 00:49:06.240 --> 00:49:09.680 Remember, if the gun was legally sold, now 00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:12.320 if they can prove that the gun manufacturer 00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.680 illegally sold the gun, then they've got a 00:49:15.680 --> 00:49:17.840 case. But they're not doing that because they're 00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:20.320 not setting this to court. They're saying they 00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:22.560 want them to pay a fine. They want 00:49:22.560 --> 00:49:23.920 them to pay, actually, they want them to 00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:26.720 pay a basically a license fee. 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.920 Reading from the legislation, it it establishes a 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:33.280 firearm manufacturer's licensing program in the Department 00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:36.160 of Financial and Professional Regulation with certain requirements, 00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:38.480 including that the sum of all fees for 00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:41.600 firearms manufacturer licenses shall be equal to the 00:49:41.600 --> 00:49:44.800 public health costs and financial burdens of firearm 00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.040 injuries and deaths. In other words, we want 00:49:47.040 --> 00:49:50.240 you to pay a license fee for 00:49:50.240 --> 00:49:53.040 deaths that were outside of your control. If 00:49:53.040 --> 00:49:54.800 it was a death inside of the control 00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:58.160 of the manufacturer, they'd simply sue them. It's 00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:00.160 not. So this to me seems to be 00:50:00.160 --> 00:50:01.680 a rather blatant attempt to get around the 00:50:01.680 --> 00:50:04.480 lawful commerce, the protection of lawful commerce and 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.520 arms act. Uh, it is a somewhat 00:50:07.520 --> 00:50:10.560 unique attempt at doing this, but it's also 00:50:10.560 --> 00:50:12.400 a way of getting someone else to pay 00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:15.520 for Illinois' problem. Now, I don't have the 00:50:15.520 --> 00:50:17.120 latest numbers off the top of my head, 00:50:17.200 --> 00:50:20.400 but in general, the biggest problem of gun 00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:23.680 violence in Illinois is not Illinois, 00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:25.280 it's Chicago. 00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:28.160 Followed at some point later by, I think, 00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.520 Springfield. Chicago is where the gun 00:50:31.520 --> 00:50:34.560 violence is. And it is not average everyday 00:50:34.560 --> 00:50:37.920 citizens, law-abiding citizens on the street shooting 00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:40.400 people up. It is gang violence. 00:50:41.120 --> 00:50:44.160 The fact that the city has been unable 00:50:44.160 --> 00:50:47.520 to control gang violence, criminal 00:50:47.520 --> 00:50:50.960 activity, is not the gun manufacturer's fault. 00:50:52.160 --> 00:50:54.320 Let me say it again. The fact that 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:56.720 the city of Chicago and the state of 00:50:56.720 --> 00:51:00.160 Illinois have been unable to enforce their 00:51:00.160 --> 00:51:01.280 own laws 00:51:02.560 --> 00:51:05.840 and restrict the gun the gang violence 00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:08.720 in their city streets is not the fault 00:51:08.720 --> 00:51:12.160 of Colt or Glock or Remington, 00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:15.760 right? Smith and Wesson. It is the fault 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.640 of Chicago and the state of Illinois. But 00:51:18.640 --> 00:51:20.320 they don't want to admit that. They want 00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:23.120 to blame somebody else. They want somebody else 00:51:23.120 --> 00:51:25.920 to pay for their own mistakes. 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:29.520 Now, this person asked an interesting, asked a 00:51:29.520 --> 00:51:32.720 follow-up question. He asked, would this violate the 00:51:32.720 --> 00:51:35.040 Eighth Amendment as being a cruel and unusual 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:39.120 and unusual punishment or excessive fines if the 00:51:39.120 --> 00:51:42.080 company don't companies don't follow this law. 00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:45.520 Well, a fine or licensing fee for violating 00:51:45.520 --> 00:51:47.920 law is not cruel or unusual punishment. There's 00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:49.680 nothing cruel or unusual about saying a fine. 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:52.400 Is it an excessive fine? Well, that depends 00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.080 on what the fines are. Now I haven't 00:51:54.080 --> 00:51:56.000 gone into all the details. I've only deal 00:51:56.080 --> 00:51:58.320 with a synopsis. I don't know what these 00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.360 fines are. If it's $100 per 00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:04.640 incident, that's not an excessive fine. If 00:52:04.640 --> 00:52:07.200 it's a million dollars per incident, I'd say 00:52:07.200 --> 00:52:10.320 that was an excessive fine. But they haven't 00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:11.920 passed this law yet, so we don't know 00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.080 what those numbers would be. No, to me, 00:52:14.160 --> 00:52:16.240 this is a 14th violation because it's a 00:52:16.240 --> 00:52:19.440 deprivation of property without due 00:52:19.600 --> 00:52:22.800 process of law, violation of the 14th Amendment, 00:52:23.040 --> 00:52:26.400 and uh uh again, um as as 00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:29.520 such, could easy should be litigated under that 00:52:29.680 --> 00:52:33.120 if Illinois passes this law. I would 00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:35.600 also, because the way uh again, the the 00:52:35.600 --> 00:52:39.040 way the synopsis is worded, is 00:52:39.040 --> 00:52:40.960 that it's to they're trying to get gun 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:44.240 manufacturers to uh pay for the 00:52:44.240 --> 00:52:46.080 the license to be equal to the public 00:52:46.080 --> 00:52:49.280 health costs and financial burdens of firearms, injuries, 00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:51.600 or death. This is a blatant attempt to 00:52:51.600 --> 00:52:54.800 get around federal law, the protection of lawful 00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:57.440 commerce and arms, which I think a court 00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.760 should look at and say, Oh, so you're 00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:01.600 just trying to not sue them, you're trying 00:53:01.600 --> 00:53:03.920 to find them because you know you couldn't 00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:07.120 win a lawsuit because of PLCAA. Um, 00:53:07.600 --> 00:53:09.920 am I surprised? Not one little bit. This 00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:11.120 is Illinois. 00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:14.160 This is one of the Marxist capitals of 00:53:14.160 --> 00:53:17.200 the country. Um, and like 00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:19.520 often happens, right, by hook or by crook, 00:53:19.600 --> 00:53:21.600 we will get this one way or the 00:53:21.600 --> 00:53:24.640 other. We're either going to um uh uh 00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:27.600 we're either gonna find get you by one 00:53:27.600 --> 00:53:29.440 law or by another. We don't care what 00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.040 the law says, we want to get you. 00:53:31.120 --> 00:53:32.640 And that's what the state of Illinois is 00:53:32.640 --> 00:53:35.280 doing. And again, um, you know, the the 00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:38.400 biggest issue is Illinois is is 00:53:38.560 --> 00:53:40.320 literally literally shooting themselves in the foot, but 00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:42.720 that's a whole other issue because rather than 00:53:42.720 --> 00:53:45.120 fixing the problem, they're trying to shift the 00:53:45.120 --> 00:53:48.560 blame. And then they're probably gonna be spending 00:53:48.560 --> 00:53:50.880 millions of dollars to defend this in a 00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:54.080 federal lawsuit when the gun manufacturers 00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:57.200 files, you know, file suit, and and which 00:53:57.200 --> 00:53:59.680 I expect they would. And I wouldn't be 00:53:59.680 --> 00:54:02.080 surprised if they're backed up by others like 00:54:02.080 --> 00:54:04.800 Gun Owners of America and other um special 00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:07.760 interest groups, because this is this is this 00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:09.280 is crazy, but it's it's it's the same 00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:12.560 type of crazy hallucination we see all the 00:54:12.560 --> 00:54:15.040 time. Now, if you have a question you'd 00:54:15.040 --> 00:54:16.720 like me to answer, or are you just 00:54:16.720 --> 00:54:18.720 a question you you think I might be 00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:21.040 be interested in, something go to 00:54:21.040 --> 00:54:24.320 constitutionstudy.com/slash questions and ask your question. 00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.480 I do ask for a name and email 00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:28.080 address because I'm going to email you a 00:54:28.080 --> 00:54:30.560 private response. If you'd like me to answer 00:54:30.560 --> 00:54:32.080 it on the radio as well, there's a 00:54:32.080 --> 00:54:33.680 simple check box that just says answer this 00:54:33.680 --> 00:54:35.840 on America Loud Talk Radio. I'll be more 00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:38.240 than happy to. Uh, only thing I ask 00:54:38.240 --> 00:54:40.160 is that you be, you know, respectful and 00:54:40.160 --> 00:54:42.000 polite and that it have something to do 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.800 with the Constitution or the Constitution Study, something 00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:46.800 along those lines. By the way, if you'd 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:48.800 rather, you can email me questions at 00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:52.160 constitutionstudy.com. Uh, it all goes the 00:54:52.160 --> 00:54:54.320 same place. I get the same questions. If 00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:55.600 you'd like me to answer it on the 00:54:55.600 --> 00:54:57.920 radio, just mention that in the question. Again, 00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:00.640 I love doing this because many people may 00:55:00.640 --> 00:55:03.200 be thinking of these questions, that many more 00:55:03.200 --> 00:55:04.800 that will actually ask the question. And I 00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:06.800 actually do love answering questions. I know people 00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:09.600 think I'm crazy. But it does two things. 00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:11.520 One, it kind of lets me know what's 00:55:11.520 --> 00:55:13.120 going on, right? So it lets me know 00:55:13.120 --> 00:55:15.040 what's on your minds, what's of interest to 00:55:15.040 --> 00:55:17.120 you, which is important. If I'm not, if 00:55:17.120 --> 00:55:19.120 I'm not speaking on what's interesting to you, 00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:21.760 well, then this becomes a waste of time. 00:55:22.080 --> 00:55:23.920 But it also helps me to go back 00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:26.160 and verify my position. It gives me the 00:55:26.160 --> 00:55:28.080 ability to go back and say, well, wait 00:55:28.080 --> 00:55:29.760 a second, am I am I holding a 00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:31.360 right position? Do I got to double check 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:34.320 my sources? Which again helps make sure that 00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:36.480 I'm giving you good information. I'm doing the 00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:39.600 trusting and verifying here. I don't want to 00:55:39.600 --> 00:55:42.480 be the one hallucinating. Is a reason why 00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:45.600 I don't use artificial intelligence to generate content. 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:47.760 This is my content. This is what I'm 00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:50.960 thinking, this is what I'm an analyzing. 00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:53.520 And the best way for me to do 00:55:53.520 --> 00:55:55.520 that is to double check and to verify 00:55:55.520 --> 00:55:57.200 and to make sure that I'm talking about 00:55:57.200 --> 00:55:59.760 content that people are interested in. Again, if 00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:01.040 you want to find out more, if you 00:56:01.040 --> 00:56:04.000 want to ask a question, go to constitutionstudy.com/slash 00:56:04.080 --> 00:56:06.320 questions or email me at questions at 00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:09.200 constitutionstudy.com and let me know if you'd like 00:56:09.200 --> 00:56:10.720 me to answer it on the radio. I'd 00:56:10.720 --> 00:56:13.200 be more than happy to. Speaking of that, 00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:15.040 I hope you come back to the cut 00:56:15.040 --> 00:56:17.440 for the Constitution Study every weekday, 4 p.m. 00:56:17.600 --> 00:56:19.360 Eastern time on America Out Loud Talk Radio, 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.000 heard on the iHeartRadio Network.
