WEBVTT 00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.920 Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:17.280 ourselves and our posterity. This is the Constitution 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.160 Study on the American Outlaw Network with your 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.600 host, Paul Engel. 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.080 We all have our own priorities. The best 00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:35.840 way to examine them is not by what 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.880 we say, but by what we do. That's 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.200 just as true for government actors as it 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.320 is for individuals. Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.080 Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we 00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:48.400 read instead of the Constitution. Teacher I can 00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:50.080 generation be free. Glad you could join me 00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.480 today. You know, I tell this story frequently. 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.000 When I worked back at 00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:57.440 I worked at IBM and we got a 00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:59.360 new manager. And if you ever worked in 00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:01.920 corporate America, you know, there's a kind of 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.400 a process, right? He gets everybody together and 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.880 you have meetings. We'd have one-on-one meetings. And, 00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:09.760 you know, it was funny because shortly after 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.160 the introductions, he asked me if I had 00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:14.560 any questions. I said, no, not really. And 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.640 he thought that was odd. I said, I 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.200 don't know you yet. I don't know how 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.440 to judge what you say. I'm much more 00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:24.480 interested in what you do. That led to 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.560 an interesting conversation. It also led to a 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.240 call a year later where he asked me, 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.480 Well, Paul, it's been a year. How am 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.280 I doing? Because I do. I judge people 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.880 on what they do, not what they say. 00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:36.720 Now, this works really, really good in politics 00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.280 because how can you tell a politician's lying? 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.040 Their lips are moving. 00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:43.920 So I want to take a look at 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.040 some of the things that have been going 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.160 on and see what priorities do we 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:49.600 people actually have. 00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:53.760 So uh for example, the Senate recently passed 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.960 legislation to protect college athletes' 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.760 name, image, and likeness, um 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:04.160 including limiting exemptions for the NCA, 00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:07.680 NCAA when it comes to antitrust 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.560 exemptions. Now I look at this kind of 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.560 interesting, so it's because you've got this kind 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.840 of dichotomy between amateur sport 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:18.560 and the people that are running the amateur 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.120 sports. Right now, I I I don't follow 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.840 all the college ball, although I stopped watching 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.400 professional football years ago, and I've never really 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.480 got into the college game, although I I 00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:30.400 do watch a little bit of it. But 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.960 think about it, you've got colleges and 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.320 universities and and uh networks 00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:39.600 making billions and billions of dollars off of 00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:42.480 the the the skill and the likeness of 00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:45.520 these athletes. You know, they're they're selling jerseys, 00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:48.480 they're selling uh their image, and 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.000 by rule, they can't, you know, they don't 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.800 they don't have control over their likeness. It's 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.800 basically controlled by by the by the the 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.120 company. So the the athlete is supposed to 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.280 be an amateur and not make any money, 00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:04.400 but the colleges that they play for are 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:05.760 raking in the box. 00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:08.960 Now, as I understand it, this this Protect 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.920 College Sports Act of 2026 would 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:15.360 uh um require that these 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.880 name, image, and likeness agreements for colleges that 00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:22.080 the that these institutions cannot prohibit a 00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:24.880 a student from making these agreements for their 00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:28.080 name, image, and likeness. Um, it also 00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:31.760 uh would uh mandate out-of-pocket 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:35.200 medical coverage for sports-related individuals or 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:37.040 injuries, I should say, at level one schools 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.240 and some other things. So again, college 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.680 sports. Now, here's what I find interesting about 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.600 this. It's again, I'm not a huge college 00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:47.760 sports fan. I know a lot of people 00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:50.560 are, but this was the priority of the 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.920 United States Senate. 00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:55.120 Now, I'm not saying it's something that doesn't 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.560 need to be dealt with. Uh, I'm not 00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.720 saying there were not some some legal issues, 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.600 many of which created by Congress that need 00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:03.920 to be dealt with here, but we've got 00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:06.240 a what $41 trillion 00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:10.080 deficit. Uh we have uh an 00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:13.280 ongoing conflict with Iran uh that's been 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.640 driving up the uh the cost of energy, 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.200 fuel, and and I just drove a truck. 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.720 I had to go up to uh to 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.280 New York to empty out my father's storage 00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:24.800 unit. So I had a big old U-Haul 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:26.400 truck I had to drive home, and boy, 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:27.760 I never thought I'd be happy to see 00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:29.440 $4 a gallon gas when I got down 00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:32.240 south. It's crazy. Uh, we've got the whole 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.960 thing with uh with flock and and facial 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:38.320 recognition. Again, all of these things, and again, 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:42.000 all of these things are are serious concerns, 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:45.520 especially they're gonna have an impact on um 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:49.360 on the midterms, right? Data centers and all 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.720 these things. Congress decides to spend its time 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.240 on college sports. 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.320 Again, it's not what you say, it's what 00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:01.040 you do. But again, most of what Congress 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.400 does is unconstitutional anyway. So yeah, maybe 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:06.720 if they spent uh their time just naming 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.920 airports and and and uh post offices and 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.160 less time you know messing with our rights, 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.960 maybe we'd be happier overall. That leaves the 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:16.800 room for the states to do what they're 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.120 gonna do. For example, um 00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.880 Governor Abbott of Texas uh ordered the 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.920 the Texas Environmental Agency to stop 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.720 issuing permits for data centers 00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:32.320 until an audit is completed. Now, in 00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:35.280 a statement, Governor Abbott says, simply put, Texans 00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:38.080 must come first. Data centers must pay their 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:40.560 own way, protect our grid and water, and 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.600 complete the ERCOT and TWDB audits. 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.720 That's the uh Electrical Reliability Council of Texas 00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:50.320 and the Texas Water Development Uh Board. They 00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:52.720 are currently auditing um 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.840 the use of these data centers. Now, again, 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.040 I've said all along, I said data centers. 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.280 There's a lot of hysteria about data centers, 00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:04.560 much of what is which is not it's 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.000 not real, right? It's it's fear-mongering. Yes, data 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.960 centers demand a lot of electricity. Um 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.640 uh the the ERCOT, the Electrical Riabil 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.080 Reliability Council of Texas, estimates that they're 00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:21.040 gonna need about 475 gigawatts 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.240 of power uh for the new data centers 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.480 that are that are currently being asked for. 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.240 Um 575 gigawatts of of that's what they're 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.200 gonna need. That is five 00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:36.400 times the state's record peak 00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:38.800 high. And this is a lot of power. 00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:41.200 And again, data centers consume a lot of 00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:44.400 power, they're very power dense. I try to 00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:45.760 explain it this way. When I started working 00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:47.600 in data centers, again, this is 30 years 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:48.000 ago. 00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:51.840 An average server, right? You think of a 00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:54.560 server farm, an average server was about seven 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.880 and a half inches high and had 150 00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:00.320 watt, 175 watt power supplies. When I 00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:03.280 left working in data centers, this has got 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:06.480 to be what uh five, six years ago? 00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:07.360 A 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.200 standard server was inch and three quarters high 00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:14.640 and had 500 watt power supplies, meaning it 00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:17.840 got one-fifth the size and consumes three 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:21.200 times the power. That's very energy dense. You 00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:22.400 put a lot of power in a small 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:25.760 area. That's the biggest concern because again, they 00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:28.560 need power, and most data centers want power 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.840 from two different sources. Now, the hysteria 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:34.480 over water uh to me is overblown because 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.040 most data centers I've ever worked in, they 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.320 don't consume much water. They 00:07:40.320 --> 00:07:42.160 they require a charge of water. When you 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.400 first build them, there's water that goes into 00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.480 the systems. Um, you know, kind of like 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.640 filling a swimming pool, right? When you first 00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:50.880 get a swimming pool, you you got to 00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:52.080 bring in a lot of water to fill 00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:54.240 the swimming pool. Once it's full, you only 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.440 have to top it up every once in 00:07:55.440 --> 00:07:56.720 a while. And that's kind of the way 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.000 the most data centers work. Uh, there's ideas 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.240 of you know, millions of gallons a day. 00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:04.960 No, no data center is going to spend 00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:07.680 that type of money. But I agree, the 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.880 data centers should quote unquote pay their own 00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:13.520 way. Meaning, and this is in discussions I've 00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:15.280 had locally with with state, I'm sorry, with 00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:18.640 county and local officials, is what we 00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:20.400 need is if a data center, we've got 00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:21.920 no plan for data centers, but everyone wants 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.080 to come in, they have to pay for 00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:26.240 the infrastructure to bring the power in. 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.480 And they have to meter and limit the 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.600 amount of water they consume. It's very simple. 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.000 It's part of the zoning, you zone them 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.880 industrial where there's where their noise won't be 00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:41.760 a problem. You require, as a part of 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:44.480 the permit, the infrastructure to bring in power. 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.840 And I by the way, I wouldn't just 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.840 say data center, I said anything that consumes 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.720 a large amount of electricity should 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.080 uh fund the infrastructure for it. That shouldn't 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:55.680 be the rest of the other customers. If 00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:57.040 you want to bring in uh something that's 00:08:57.040 --> 00:08:58.480 gonna bring in, you know, use 10, 20, 00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:01.200 30 gigawatts, then you should pay for the 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.760 infrastructure. And that water should be metered and 00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:07.200 limited. It's fairly simple. Um, I 00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:09.040 I I but I find Texas is very 00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:10.880 concerned about this, and Texas is not really 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.960 placed. My local counties put a moratorium in 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.720 place, even though we don't have any data 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.880 center proposals at the moment. But this has 00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:18.480 been a lot of things, but they're being 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.240 done based on audits. And I'm kind of 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.880 curious if uh Texas is going to release 00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:25.040 the audit results when they come out, what 00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:28.080 they actually find. So again, 00:09:28.400 --> 00:09:30.560 think about is that more of a concern 00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:34.160 than maybe uh you know the the 00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:36.080 likeness of a of a of a player 00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:37.920 of a player, you know, a sport uh 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.440 a college athlete while we're at it. 00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:44.240 Uh Governor Abbott has also declared a 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.200 disaster 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.440 over diesel prices. Now, as I mentioned, 00:09:49.520 --> 00:09:51.520 I recently drove a truck from upstate New 00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:52.800 York down to where I live in Tennessee. 00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:55.440 It was a gasoline truck. I was kind 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.400 of happy about that because, well, gasoline prices 00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:00.640 were about two to two fifty cheaper than 00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:03.840 diesel prices. I have no idea how the 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.200 the high diesel prices are just insane. Uh 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.280 the national average, I think, is like six 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.040 dollars and fifty cents a gallon or somewhere 00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.360 up around there. That's that's a lot to 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.840 pay for diesel fuel. I mean, I'm old 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.760 enough to remember when diesel fuel was actually 00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:20.480 cheaper than gasoline, um, back when it was 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.400 used mostly for trucks. Of course, that changed 00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:24.240 when they started coming out with diesel cars. 00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:26.240 And and of course, it's not just it's 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.000 not just trucks. I mean, you think about 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.200 uh uh farmers and ranchers and everybody that 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.040 have all this large equipment, all of which 00:10:33.040 --> 00:10:35.600 runs on diesel, which is very, very, very 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:36.720 expensive. 00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:40.720 Now, what does this mean? And this 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.080 declaration of a disaster. Well, one of the 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.000 things that most people don't realize is that 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.280 there's a a there's a road tax on 00:10:49.280 --> 00:10:52.480 all the fuel you buy. And uh number 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.920 two fuel, which is diesel fuel. Um if 00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:58.640 you don't use it on the road, then 00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:00.160 you don't have to pay the tax. And 00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:03.360 the distinguish between over-the-road fuel and 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.640 uh agricultural fuel, they dye the agricultural 00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:09.760 fuel red. Well, that's what this declaration is 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:12.800 all about. It's allowing people to sell uh 00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:15.840 red-dyed um uh fuel 00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:20.000 for over-the-road use, and those they're they're basically 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.360 Texas is waiving the road tax. 00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:26.400 By the way, it also waives some of 00:11:26.400 --> 00:11:29.680 the emission requirements for diesel fuels. So, you 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:31.200 know, we're this again, this is at the 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.600 state level. So you're talking state road taxes, 00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:36.480 uh, state emission levels. They're saying, listen, we're 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.000 gonna be able to take the make they 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.320 want to make more diesel available to help 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.880 push the prices down because it's impacting everything. 00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:45.440 I mean, the the the deliveries of your 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.800 Amazon, the deliveries to your grocery store, 00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:52.000 everything you buy is transported by truck and 00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:54.160 involves diesel fuel. So 00:11:55.040 --> 00:11:57.360 again, the this the expense is hitting a 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.200 lot of people in a lot of places, 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.520 and the Texas government says, listen, this has 00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:04.800 gotten so bad, he's declaring a disaster, and 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:06.400 now they're waiving some of the rules, which 00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:09.440 tells you something else that part 00:12:09.760 --> 00:12:12.320 of the problem in the price of diesel 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.600 fuel are the taxes and regulations 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.840 on it. Now, again, I'm old enough to 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.840 remember when you go to a gas station 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.560 with where they had the price of gasoline, 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.120 they'd have the price of the actual gasoline, 00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:27.360 and then the state and local and federal 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.960 taxes that were added on top of it. 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.800 You got to see how much of the 00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:32.800 gas you were paid at the pump was 00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:35.600 actually just taxes going to government. And it 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.200 was not that low, it was not that 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.200 long after I started driving that most states 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.000 outlawed that. They actually made it 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.320 illegal for a gas station to tell you 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.400 how much you're actually paying in taxes. 00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:50.560 Again, priorities? Yeah, priority seems to be uh 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.840 show me the money. Now, again, it's not 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.480 just states. Donald Trump is considering what he's 00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:58.720 a diesel export ban. He's been talking about 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.880 this for a while, and this is very 00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:03.360 interesting on a couple of reasons. One is 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:04.160 the 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.240 like all oil, like all these the fuels, 00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:11.440 the are there's a a worldwide global market 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.960 that uh uh impacts prices. 00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:17.600 The fact that in the United States we 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.840 produce a lot of our own fuel, 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.160 the problem is it's a it's impacted by 00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:27.520 foreign markets. So uh, you know, where uh 00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:30.320 uh let's say the price for diesel fuel 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.440 is it costs you five dollars here, but 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.080 because you can sell that five dollar diesel 00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:39.360 in Europe for seven dollars or eight dollars, 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.280 well, a lot of it ends up over 00:13:41.280 --> 00:13:43.840 there. And Donald Trump's considering and saying, well, 00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:47.200 what if we banned the export of diesel 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.240 fuel? What if we uh uh stop that? 00:13:50.400 --> 00:13:53.680 That way um, you know, we could regulate 00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:56.160 our own prices. And I understand there's a 00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:58.720 little bit of logic to this. I mean, 00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:02.080 if we stop selling diesel fuel overseas, 00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:03.840 that makes more of it available here in 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.960 the US, more supply would drive down the 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.240 prices. Um it would also decouple 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.240 us from some of the events going on 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.480 around the world, but like by the way, 00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:17.120 the conflict in Iran and and in 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.560 Ukraine, um, but it also would have a 00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:23.520 negative impact on a lot of our 00:14:23.520 --> 00:14:25.920 allies because now their prices are going to 00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:29.120 go up. Their prices are buffered by 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.760 our less expensive fuel. How much of an 00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:34.320 impact it would actually have? I don't know. 00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:36.400 I'm not an expert on this, I'm not 00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:38.880 sure what the impact would be. But again, 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.080 what we see are Governor Abbott, President 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.640 Trump. They're now trying to see, well, you 00:14:44.640 --> 00:14:48.000 know what? We're worried about um we're worried 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.160 about fuel prices. Why? These are what are 00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:53.360 called pocketbook issues. Uh they're issues that hit 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.040 people in the pocket. Every time you drive 00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:56.320 down the street and you look at that 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.160 gas station, you have that big, you know, 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.040 $4 a gallon gas and $6 a gallon 00:15:01.040 --> 00:15:04.240 diesel fuel, you're reminded of what's going on 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.720 in the Strait of Hormuz and the impact. 00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:07.600 And um 00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:11.600 to a lesser extent, uh, although Trump's been 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.800 talking about lately the war in Ukraine 00:15:15.040 --> 00:15:17.440 because they're blowing up each other's diesel supply. 00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:19.920 But the big thing is it's it's the 00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:23.040 the Strait of Hemous and the the conflict 00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:26.480 with Iran that Donald Trump initiated, which of 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.920 course means, well, now uh he's expected to 00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:32.320 be held accountable in the mid uh in 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.600 the midterm elections for the the the 00:15:35.920 --> 00:15:38.400 the fighting in Iran and the high prices, 00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:40.080 which is a lot of people are expecting 00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:43.440 will lead to Republicans losing a lot more 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.640 seats in the um in the election 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.160 because of this issue, which explains why 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.280 governors and pre and the president are focusing 00:15:53.280 --> 00:15:54.720 on the price of diesel. 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.560 Okay, uh listen, I have a break coming 00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:00.160 up, and uh, you know, one of the 00:16:00.160 --> 00:16:03.520 interesting things, my wife wants me around a 00:16:03.520 --> 00:16:06.400 while. And part of living a good life 00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:08.720 is getting a good night's sleep. Now, thankfully, 00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:10.640 I generally sleep pretty well. I don't usually 00:16:10.640 --> 00:16:11.920 have a problem, but there are some days, 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.240 there are some nights. My mind just won't 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.200 shut down. I can't fall asleep. Sure, I 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.400 could reach for a hormone like melatonin or 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:23.680 a pharmaceutical, and I'd fall asleep, but there 00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:26.080 are concerns, right? I can if I use 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.240 this a lot, I can disrupt my sleep 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.040 wake cycle, my hormone balance, uh I can 00:16:31.040 --> 00:16:34.000 become dependent. No, when I need help falling 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.920 asleep, I reach for restful sleep from the 00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:38.960 wellness company.

It's something I like to 00:20:35.840 --> 00:20:38.160 do every so often in my life and 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.440 in the work we're doing here at the 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.880 Constitution Study. What are our priorities? Now 00:20:43.040 --> 00:20:44.720 we took a look at the first in 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.200 the first segment about the priorities of Congress 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.600 and uh, well, some of the states dealing 00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:52.240 some of the issues. What are the issues 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.440 that uh Congress finds important? Apparently um 00:20:55.600 --> 00:20:58.560 they find um protecting uh 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.760 college athletes very important, not so much 00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:04.720 dealing with other issues in our nation, but 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.840 now I want to take a look at 00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:06.960 uh some of the other things are going 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.440 on. For example, uh New York State. I 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:10.800 lived in New York State most of my 00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:12.400 life, and I think I got a pretty 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.120 good handle on what their um their 00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:18.720 priorities would be or should be based on 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.680 on their history. Now, one of the things, 00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:23.680 one of the priorities I expect from the 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.960 state of New York, at least from the 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.320 government, is this attempt to uh well rip 00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:31.120 people off under the guise of protecting the 00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:34.560 climate. They, for example, uh the Senate, 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.120 the legislature of New York uh passed a 00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:39.680 what they call the Climate Super Uh Climate 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.040 Change Superfund Act. Basically, it's an 00:21:43.040 --> 00:21:46.080 attempt to rip off $75 billion from companies 00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:48.240 that won't deal with uh what are called 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.200 fossil fuels, um, in order to spend that 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.400 money on pet projects that are supposedly supposed 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.360 to save us from the uh the ravages 00:21:57.360 --> 00:22:00.560 of climate change, which really haven't happened uh 00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:03.680 unless you're a uh basically a uh a 00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:09.280 climate uh apologist where everything is climate 00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:11.600 change. Now, as I said, the goal of 00:22:11.600 --> 00:22:14.320 this Superfund Act was to collect $75 billion 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.000 from fuel companies, uh, allegedly uh 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.120 for the damages caused by carbon 00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:24.400 dioxide and uh climate change. Right? So 00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:26.480 if you uh were a large company, of 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.960 course they focus on large companies, and uh 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.160 you extracted oil or natural grass, uh 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.800 gas, crude, well, then they want you to 00:22:34.800 --> 00:22:36.640 pay, they wanted to extort you in the 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:39.840 money into a fund. Um, and 00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:41.680 that uh the the the the share that 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.360 you would pay would really be based on, 00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:46.720 well, how much alleged greenhouse gas emissions could 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.520 be attributed to your product between the years 00:22:49.520 --> 00:22:52.560 2000 and 2024. Now, again, there's a little 00:22:52.560 --> 00:22:54.080 bit of a problem here. See, this is 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.560 most definitely a violation of the 14th Amendment 00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.520 because it's depriving these companies of their money 00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:02.320 without due process of law. See, no one 00:23:02.320 --> 00:23:04.560 said anything they've done is actually there's been 00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:07.600 no legal finding that what they've done is 00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:10.800 wrong. There's no legal finding that says, 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.440 oh, your product causes damage, and oh yeah, 00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:15.840 this is all a fever dream by the 00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:19.200 climate apologists and uh the climate 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.160 uh devotees, and they're the state of New 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:23.440 York is just more than willing to go 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.080 along and well, help them uh rip off 00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:28.160 the rest of the country by making things 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:30.560 more expensive, by having to pay for this 00:23:30.560 --> 00:23:32.800 uh thing that for something they did that 00:23:32.800 --> 00:23:35.840 is not illegal and is not wrong. Now, 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.560 a federal judge has uh put a halt 00:23:38.560 --> 00:23:40.880 to this. He's he said, nope, that law 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.200 is is unconstitutional. I didn't see a report 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.760 onto why, how he found it uh 00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:48.720 unconstitutional. But I will tell you that the 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.280 Department U.S. Department of Justice and Environmental Protection 00:23:51.280 --> 00:23:54.080 Agency both sued to block the law. 00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:56.480 Did they block the law because it violated 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.760 the 14th Amendment? No, no, no, no. 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.480 They sued because they claim that the Clear 00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:05.360 Act, Clear Air Act, Clean Air Act, gives 00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:07.840 EPA the authority to decide how to regulate 00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:11.040 greenhouse gas emissions. Well, first of all, the 00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:12.720 the Clean Air Act has nothing to do 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.520 with carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases. Uh, second of 00:24:15.520 --> 00:24:18.320 all, the EPA, well, regulating the environment is 00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:19.840 not and protecting the environment, it's not a 00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:21.760 power delegated to the United States. So that 00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:24.000 whole thing is a beat, is a big 00:24:24.080 --> 00:24:27.360 um uh unconstitutional dumpster fire, shall 00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:30.320 we say. And but based on that, um, 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.800 they said New York State law uh could 00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:34.960 not, they could not create their own liability 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.080 because of the supremacy clause, because federal law 00:24:38.080 --> 00:24:40.320 is supreme, but they forget that it's only 00:24:40.320 --> 00:24:42.560 laws made pursuant to the Constitution of the 00:24:42.560 --> 00:24:44.640 United States. And the Clean Air, neither the 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.080 Clean Air Act nor the act creating the 00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:48.720 EPA were actually made pursuant to the Constitution 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.480 of the United States, they actually violate the 00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:53.120 Constitution of the United States. So yeah, it's 00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:55.280 kind of a win, but it's as so 00:24:55.280 --> 00:24:56.880 often happens, it's kind of a win for 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.080 the wrong reasons. Um meanwhile, over in 00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:02.560 Maryland, uh, well, we see that uh one 00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:05.840 of their priorities is, well, violating the Second 00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:08.960 Amendment. See, Maryland passed a 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.280 law that is an attempt to ban, they 00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:13.360 call them, well, it's called a Glock ban. 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.560 Um, the way the law reads is any 00:25:16.560 --> 00:25:18.800 weapon that they believe can be turned quickly 00:25:18.800 --> 00:25:21.840 into a machine gun, um, it cannot be 00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:24.560 uh uh uh sold or owned in the 00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:27.840 state of Maryland. Now, again, the problem you 00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:30.320 have with defining a machine gun, machine guns 00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:32.800 are not illegal. Let me say that again. 00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.320 Machine guns are not illegal. You 00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:38.160 can legally buy a machine gun. You have 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.000 to go through an extra background check, you 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.960 have to pay an extra tax, but machine 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.040 guns are legal. They you you can get 00:25:45.040 --> 00:25:47.920 them legally. However, Maryland, again, 00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:50.880 focusing on the wrong thing, i.e., the gun, 00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:52.960 so well, this is is too easy to 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.920 switch over. Now, I've never actually modified a 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.720 Glock or an AR-15 or something to have 00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.280 a 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.040 an auto sear. No, there's two fire 00:26:03.040 --> 00:26:05.200 repeatedly from the single pull of a trigger. 00:26:05.280 --> 00:26:08.720 I've I have had a trigger modified, not 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:10.560 to that extent. I just made it uh 00:26:10.560 --> 00:26:11.840 cleaned it up a little bit, right? I 00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:13.520 want it to break a little easier. 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:16.640 But again, we have okay, this is the 00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:18.800 the the Maryland just doesn't like the Second 00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:20.640 Amendment, it doesn't like the fact that the 00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.520 citizens can have the same type of firepower 00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:25.920 that the police and the military do. So 00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:28.640 uh there was uh people sued. Not really 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.680 a surprise. Well, um a a 00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:34.800 judge was asked to issue an injunction to 00:26:34.800 --> 00:26:37.120 prevent the Maryland law from going into effect 00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:39.600 until the case had been heard. Uh, the 00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:42.880 judge has denied that uh temporary 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.240 uh injunction, um, preventing the maryland law from 00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.320 going into effect. Uh the case, I still 00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:51.440 believe, is going forward, uh, Bath versus Moore, 00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:52.880 I believe is the name of the case. 00:26:53.040 --> 00:26:54.720 And we'll have to wait and see what 00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.360 the facts come out in court. But uh 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.640 the marital law can go into effect while 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.120 we're waiting for um well 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.280 the law, the case, I should say, to 00:27:07.280 --> 00:27:09.600 make its way through the court system. 00:27:10.560 --> 00:27:12.720 And while we're out, let's head over to 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.320 California, or as I like to call it, 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.280 Camifornia, because let's face it, at this point, 00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:19.840 California is about as close to a communist 00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:23.280 state as you can get. Um, we've dealt 00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:26.000 before California's already had this craziness with uh 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.480 vehicles. I understand. I was around in the 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.880 70s when um, you know, we you had 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:32.720 pollution and and smog was a real problem 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.640 in LA, and they tried to clean up 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.280 the air, but they've gone they've gone 00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:40.240 crazy. Now, again, first we have the Environmental 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:43.280 Protection Agency, this unlaw, illegal, unconstitutional, 00:27:43.520 --> 00:27:46.320 invalid agency that claims the bit the ability 00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:48.320 to uh protect the environment, even though there's 00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:50.720 no constitutional authority that and they try to 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.520 set Nash rules, but for some reason 00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.440 they keep cading these waivers for Camifornia. And 00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.800 this tells you all you need to know, 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:00.400 I think, about the EPA, who be the 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.520 people running the EPA. So um, you know, 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:06.960 for example, the in 2009, they 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.920 gave allowed California to have a waiver to 00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.960 regulate greenhouse gas emissions for motor 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:16.320 vehicles. Now, in 2022, the Biden 00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.680 administration reinstated part of the waiver for 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.320 small off-road engines. In other words, 00:28:22.560 --> 00:28:24.800 California wants to be the only apparently the 00:28:24.800 --> 00:28:26.800 only state in the nation that the federal 00:28:26.800 --> 00:28:28.960 government said, you know what? We get to 00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:30.640 decide what type of cars you drive. We 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:31.920 get to decide whether or not you can 00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.480 run a gas lawnmower. We get to control 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:36.960 your lives. Hence, we refer to them as 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.160 Camifornia because it's like it's like uh 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.280 Soviet Russia, it's communist China. The government gets 00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:45.840 to tell you how to live your life. 00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:49.280 Now, again, they they they've applied it now 00:28:49.280 --> 00:28:52.000 to what they call spark ignition engines of 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.440 25 horsepower or less. That basically means 00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.480 every small uh motorized product you have a 00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.280 lawnmower, a weed whacker, a 00:29:01.280 --> 00:29:04.480 chainsaw, a power washer, all of this 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.920 now comes under unique state regulations in 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:09.920 the state and only in the state of 00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:13.360 Camifornia. Now, of course, they've used this 00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:15.680 because, again, gasoline is evil in their mind. 00:29:15.760 --> 00:29:17.760 They want you to use gas, they want 00:29:17.760 --> 00:29:19.680 you to use electric powered devices, right? They 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.000 want you an electric lawnmower and electric weed 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.920 whacker and all that. Of course, the problem 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.280 is California doesn't have the electrical infrastructure 00:29:27.280 --> 00:29:30.560 to power all these electric appliances, much less 00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:33.440 the electric vehicles they want, but they will 00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:36.080 not approve the improvements to the infrastructure, the 00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:39.040 the extra grid capacity, much less the the 00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:42.480 generation capacity to actually power all of this 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.520 stuff. So, what I see is 00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:48.240 California's priority is this uh 00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:51.440 mythical belief that uh uh that gasoline is 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:54.240 going to kill us all, and uh that 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.320 uh they have the authority to tell everybody 00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:58.320 in the state how they should live their 00:29:58.320 --> 00:30:01.760 lives, not again, not for the impact on 00:30:01.760 --> 00:30:03.200 others. You're just not allowed to do that 00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:06.160 because, well, we know better than than you 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.800 do. Now, listen, if you want to buy 00:30:08.800 --> 00:30:11.120 an electric lawnmower, an electric weed whacker, a 00:30:11.120 --> 00:30:14.400 chainsaw, be my guest. I don't care, right? 00:30:14.800 --> 00:30:17.440 Uh, I have an electric weed whacker because, 00:30:17.520 --> 00:30:20.160 well, it made more sense for me. But 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:23.040 I've still got a gas-powered lawnmower because, well, 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.120 I got about five acres of lawn that 00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:27.120 needs to be mown, and an electric one 00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:28.400 just doesn't cut the mustard, if you know 00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:30.080 what I mean. Besides, I've always gone up 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.400 around electric lawnmowers. Try to get an electric 00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.880 riding lawnmower. Um, I don't even know if 00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:36.240 they make such a critter. 00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:39.120 But there is an interesting twist to this 00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:42.480 because California, I find it very interesting that 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.280 the EPA provides special carve outs only for 00:30:45.280 --> 00:30:48.720 California, but those rules don't apply to 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:50.960 me here in Tennessee. Why? Because I'm not 00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:54.240 in Camifornia. This, ladies and gentlemen, is called 00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.640 federalism. Federalism is not the power of the 00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.720 federal government, it's the fact you have a 00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:01.360 federation of states. You have individual states that 00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:03.440 have their own rules. Some can be crazy 00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.320 and stupid, some not so stupid. And the 00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:09.280 people get to decide where they go. I 00:31:09.280 --> 00:31:11.520 didn't move from New York to California. I 00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:13.760 moved from New York to Tennessee because of 00:31:13.760 --> 00:31:15.920 the rules, because of the laws. Yes, taxes 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.640 were lower, but mainly because of the laws 00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.920 and regulations. Right? I didn't want a state 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:23.120 that would tell me what type of car 00:31:23.120 --> 00:31:24.960 I could drive. How, how I couldn't in 00:31:25.040 --> 00:31:26.400 some city, you're not allowed to drive an 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:27.520 older car, right? They don't want you to 00:31:27.520 --> 00:31:29.600 drive because of the gas mileage. Well, guess 00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:31.600 what? I run cars into the ground. Um, 00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:33.440 the car I use, I just got I 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:35.920 just bought a a used car. The car 00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.720 I had before that was a 2011, 00:31:39.280 --> 00:31:40.400 and I just got rid of it this 00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.720 year. So it's 15 years old, and it's 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.120 still running fine. And in fact, the car 00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:47.360 I bought is actually a used car I 00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:50.080 bought off a family member. Um, I'm gonna 00:31:50.080 --> 00:31:51.600 run that thing into the ground. I don't 00:31:51.600 --> 00:31:54.000 buy cars every few years because they don't 00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.920 make sense, it makes no financial sense to 00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:58.400 me. Same reason I didn't move to Maryland, 00:31:58.560 --> 00:32:00.640 right? Because I like the Second Amendment, I 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.160 like my right to keep and bear arms, 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.640 and I don't want some government telling me 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:06.400 that this arm is okay, but that arm 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.080 is not. The right to keep and bear 00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:09.600 arms is a right to keep and bear 00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:11.760 arms, not the re the right to keep 00:32:11.760 --> 00:32:13.840 and bear arms that governments don't think are 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.640 too dangerous for it to allow the civilians 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.120 to have. If the government has them, everyone 00:32:19.120 --> 00:32:20.800 else should have them. That's what the Second 00:32:20.800 --> 00:32:23.440 Amendment was all about: protecting ourselves from 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.720 tyranny. And again, that comes down to you 00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:29.520 know, what are our priorities? Are our 00:32:29.520 --> 00:32:32.960 priorities to have some government bureaucrat 00:32:33.120 --> 00:32:35.360 take care of us? I mean, how often 00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:37.200 have you heard people say the government's job, 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.320 government's purpose is to protect us? That's not 00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:43.360 what the Declaration of Independence says. It says 00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:45.760 that we create governments to secure our rights, 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:48.960 not to secure us. But if your priorities 00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:51.920 are having government protect you, well then you've 00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:54.400 basically enslaved yourself to government. You've sat back 00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.480 and said, I'm gonna let government decide for 00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:59.120 me. Government rules, you've created a socialist 00:32:59.120 --> 00:33:01.840 dystopia where the government rules 00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:05.120 everything. Now compare that with liberty, 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.400 right? And independence, where I'm responsible for 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.160 myself. And what I need the government to 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:12.320 do is make sure my rights aren't infringed 00:33:12.320 --> 00:33:14.320 upon, whether that be my freedom of speech, 00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:16.720 freedom of press, free to be secure from 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:19.360 unreasonable searches and seizures, to not lose due 00:33:19.360 --> 00:33:22.240 process. They're all about protecting my right to 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.440 take care of myself. So I 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:28.320 ask you, what are your priorities? Are your 00:33:28.320 --> 00:33:30.960 priorities to be taken care of or to 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.600 take care of yourself? To be independent and 00:33:33.600 --> 00:33:36.480 take care of yourself, or to be dependent, 00:33:36.800 --> 00:33:39.600 to be enslaved, to be bought and purchased. 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:42.160 I think a lot of people say they 00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:43.760 want to be free, but when I see 00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:46.240 what they choose, what they actually do, what 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.360 they vote for, they seem much more interested 00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:52.800 in being dependent on others, to having their 00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:54.800 rights infringed upon in order to take care 00:33:54.800 --> 00:33:57.520 of them. And well, if that's your priorities, 00:33:57.760 --> 00:33:59.760 well, then a free country is not what 00:33:59.760 --> 00:34:01.040 you're interested in. 00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:04.240 Okay, uh, I have a break coming up. 00:34:04.320 --> 00:34:06.320 Before I go, though, you know, you have 00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:07.680 a lot of choices to make your life. 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:09.840 You have a choice of, well, who you 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:12.080 do business with, you have a choice with 00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:14.000 whether or not uh you're gonna buy certain 00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.200 products and services, and uh it really 00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:19.200 matters who you do business with. Now, a 00:34:19.200 --> 00:34:20.800 lot of people say, Well, yeah, you should 00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:24.080 buy American. Okay, that's fine. The 00:34:24.080 --> 00:34:26.320 question is, are the companies you're doing business 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:29.360 with spending their profits to protect your rights 00:34:29.520 --> 00:34:31.920 or to infringe on your rights? See, there 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:33.760 are several companies I don't do business with, 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.600 I don't buy their products, I don't buy 00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:38.800 their services. Why? Well, because they 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.880 infringe on my rights. That seems to be 00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:43.680 their goal. Now, one company I joined company 00:34:43.680 --> 00:34:46.000 I started doing business with years ago, Patriot 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.560 Mobile. Did I join them because they're America's 00:34:48.560 --> 00:34:51.840 only Christian conservative wireless provider? No. That's not 00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:53.760 what I did it. Did I join them 00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.320 because they're great 4G and 5G coverage? 00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:59.760 No. Did I join them because they're 100% 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.880 US-based customer support? Again, good, but not the 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:05.360 reason I joined. The reason I joined is 00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:08.160 simple.

Information's at 00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:08.480 our fingertips, but where do you go? How 00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:10.080 do you know the information you're getting is 00:36:10.080 --> 00:36:13.040 actually true? Who do you trust? Well, you 00:36:13.040 --> 00:36:15.360 better be able to verify. For me, one 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:18.560 of those outlets is AmericaOutloud.news. It's a great 00:36:18.560 --> 00:36:19.840 place to go. It's why I go there 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.080 each and every day for news and information. 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.120 Why? Because I've got this great source that 00:36:25.120 --> 00:36:27.440 I can that has shown to be trustworthy, 00:36:27.520 --> 00:36:29.680 but I still get to verify. But I 00:36:29.680 --> 00:36:31.040 do more, and I want you to do 00:36:31.040 --> 00:36:33.760 more too. So, yes, join me. Read the 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.320 stories and articles, but then share them. Maybe 00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:39.760 with friends, family members, neighbors, watch a pod, 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.160 watch a video, listen to a podcast, share 00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:44.480 it on social media, maybe with a civic 00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.800 group or or anywhere else. The point is 00:36:47.040 --> 00:36:48.960 there's a lot of information, and what happens 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.200 when you share this? See, what I found 00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:52.480 is a lot of people say I didn't 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.160 know that was happening. That's news I didn't 00:36:54.160 --> 00:36:56.320 know was going on, and that's kind of 00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.240 the point. See, there are a lot of 00:36:58.240 --> 00:37:00.400 outlets that want to restrict the news that 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.720 gets available becomes available. We've seen government try 00:37:02.720 --> 00:37:04.480 to do it. There are plenty of outlets 00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:06.000 that do it as well. But when you 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.800 go to AmericaOutloud.news and you gather this information 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.120 and you share that information, you share the 00:37:11.120 --> 00:37:13.760 news that corporate media doesn't want most people 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.040 to know about.

Today, we're examining our priorities. It's 00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:35.120 something I think we should do every so 00:39:35.120 --> 00:39:37.360 often. And uh I want to close out 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.440 today looking at our priorities when it comes 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.640 to elections. There's been an interesting battle 00:39:42.640 --> 00:39:46.000 royale going on out in California, and it 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:48.800 involves a sheriff, uh Chad 00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:52.240 Bianco, who do, in order to effect an 00:39:52.240 --> 00:39:54.800 investigation into allegations of 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.240 fraudulent activity in the November 00:39:58.240 --> 00:40:00.560 25 special election, uh 00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.160 confiscated a bunch of ballots that had been 00:40:04.160 --> 00:40:07.280 cast, written ballots had been cast, in order 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.400 to promote his investigation. Now he did obtain 00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.840 a search warrant in order to collect 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.720 this information. And the search warrant does say, 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:18.800 you know, what can be searched and hopefully 00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.680 what can be seized. That's what the allegation. 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.120 Well, the California Supreme Court said, hang 00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:28.240 on a second. Um, state law 00:40:28.240 --> 00:40:31.040 prohibits the seizure of those 00:40:31.040 --> 00:40:33.920 documents. Now, as I understand it, the question 00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:35.840 was never whether or not the sheriff had 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:38.800 the authority to search through. It's where who 00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:42.400 maintains custody of the documents. 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.840 Now, uh what's in let's start out with 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:47.280 the with the law, what the court, the 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:49.840 Supreme Court found. Section 15, 00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:53.200 551A makes voted ballots 00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.680 subject to a court's order, at least in 00:40:55.680 --> 00:40:58.880 a contested election or a criminal prosecution. 00:40:59.040 --> 00:41:01.360 Now, what the justice said that a search 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:04.640 warrant is not a prosecution, that's why 00:41:04.640 --> 00:41:07.360 the documents needed to remain in the custody 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.800 of the uh the the state election board. 00:41:11.120 --> 00:41:14.400 Now, Governor Newsom did sign Senate Bill 00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:17.840 1418, which would have changed this 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:20.960 a little bit, but he did that five 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.320 days before the opinion was released, 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.520 right? Meaning um this wasn't uh this is 00:41:27.600 --> 00:41:29.040 the middle of the of the case. This 00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:31.920 is this is probably between oral arguments and 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.200 the decision. Um it does expand 00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:37.920 the the selection of elected records and certified 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.960 data uh to the to to be subject. 00:41:41.040 --> 00:41:44.400 But again, is a prosecution, is a 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.880 a search warrant as part of an investigation, 00:41:47.120 --> 00:41:50.320 part of a prosecution or not. Um 00:41:50.640 --> 00:41:53.680 again, you know, uh I think there's a 00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:55.680 lot of ways we could read this. Um 00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.280 again, I'm not that familiar with California voting 00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.160 law. Uh I understand the desire to maintain 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:05.440 maintain chain of custody. Um, but 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:09.360 I would think if there's an investigation into 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:12.320 a criminal prosecution, that would fall under the 00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.000 law. But again, I'm not familiar with the 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.160 details of the law, so there's only so 00:42:16.160 --> 00:42:18.000 much I can say. What I do find 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.280 interesting is the way some of this has 00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:21.840 been spun. 00:42:23.040 --> 00:42:25.120 So, for example, um 00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:28.960 uh some of the press referred to this 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.840 as a shutdown of rogue law enforcement. Well, 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:34.320 wait a second. If law enforcement is in 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:36.720 the middle of a criminal investigation and they 00:42:36.720 --> 00:42:39.200 got a search warrant, how's that rogue law 00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:41.840 enforcement? On the other hand, you could say, 00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:45.120 well, this is an attempt to stifle 00:42:45.680 --> 00:42:48.800 an investigation into potential 00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:52.080 voting abnormalities, which again, what 00:42:52.080 --> 00:42:55.200 are the priorities? I'm I'm again, if you're 00:42:55.200 --> 00:42:57.040 from California and you have some more insight, 00:42:57.120 --> 00:42:59.840 hey, please let me know. Um, give me, 00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:01.920 you know, contact me at the website, uh 00:43:02.160 --> 00:43:05.520 constitutionstudy.com or AmericaOut Loud.news, and 00:43:05.600 --> 00:43:07.760 and let me know if there's information I 00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.920 don't have here. I'd be more than happy 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:12.320 to share that. But from what I've seen, 00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:14.960 to me, it's an interesting question. Uh, I 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:17.040 do want the chain of custody 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:20.560 protected when it comes to ballots that have 00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:23.040 already that have been cast and counted, the 00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:26.480 quest or cast, period. But the question is, 00:43:26.720 --> 00:43:27.040 is 00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:31.600 the chain of custody include investigation for 00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:35.040 potential crimes? Is that a valid 00:43:35.040 --> 00:43:37.840 reason for the chain of custody to include 00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:40.720 law enforcement? As long as law enforcement maintains 00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:43.520 their own chain of custody of these documents 00:43:43.600 --> 00:43:47.040 and eventually they're returned back to whatever legal 00:43:47.040 --> 00:43:49.520 storage there that the state of California requires 00:43:49.520 --> 00:43:52.320 them to have. Not necessarily the easiest of 00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:53.760 questions to answer, but certainly one that I 00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:56.320 would think would be concerning, especially if you 00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:58.960 happen to live in California and if you 00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:00.560 happen to live in the county where the 00:44:00.560 --> 00:44:03.760 sheriff says we have concerns. We're investigating 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:07.040 um fraudulent voting, and now we're being 00:44:07.040 --> 00:44:09.440 told that they can't search the data, they 00:44:09.520 --> 00:44:11.760 can't, they just can't remove it. As I 00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:14.080 understand it, the opinion of the court was 00:44:14.240 --> 00:44:16.400 you can search those files, you just can't 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:18.880 remove them from their storage. 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.760 Uh, let's take a look out in New 00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:24.400 Jersey. Now, I reported earlier there were some 00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:27.760 6,600 non-citizens found on New 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.480 Jersey's voting rolls. And of course, that's a 00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:33.280 concern because according to the New Jersey Constitution, 00:44:33.520 --> 00:44:35.600 only those for citizens of the United States 00:44:35.600 --> 00:44:38.320 are allowed to vote in New Jersey. Um, 00:44:38.560 --> 00:44:40.800 I've talked about this multiple times before. Well, 00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:43.760 apparently, two non-citizens have now been 00:44:44.080 --> 00:44:47.360 charged with uh both illegally 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:50.560 voting in a federal election and making false 00:44:50.560 --> 00:44:53.840 statements when applying for U.S. citizenship. Uh, one 00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:56.560 is a Jamaican national, one's a Venezuelan national. 00:44:56.640 --> 00:44:59.600 And I find this interesting. So, again, 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:02.240 Congress can set the time, place, and manner 00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:05.200 of elections. There's nothing in the 00:45:05.200 --> 00:45:06.960 Constitution of the United States that gives the 00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:10.080 federal government the authority to determine 00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:13.600 you cannot be denied the right to vote, 00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:15.600 uh, but there's nothing in the Constitution that 00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.360 says you have to be a citizen in 00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:18.800 order to vote. That's in the constitution of 00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:21.520 each and every state. So I'm a little 00:45:21.520 --> 00:45:24.800 dubious about this federal election law 00:45:25.120 --> 00:45:26.720 because um, again, 00:45:27.600 --> 00:45:30.960 the Constitution puts elections primarily in the 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.120 hands of the state, right? Congress can change 00:45:33.120 --> 00:45:35.280 the time, place, and manner, but only of 00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.280 elections for house and senate. And first of 00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:38.720 all, the very idea, there aren't there is 00:45:38.720 --> 00:45:40.880 no such thing as a federal election. I 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:42.960 should say the people don't vote in federal 00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:46.240 elections. Only federal election is when the presidential 00:45:46.240 --> 00:45:48.960 electors vote in each of their states. Every 00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:50.880 other election, the ones that the people actually 00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:53.760 vote in, are state elections, even for house 00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:56.240 and senate, because those are those are uh 00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:59.520 offices appointed to each state. They're given to 00:45:59.520 --> 00:46:01.600 the states, the states fulfill them, that's a 00:46:01.600 --> 00:46:04.160 state election. So there's that issue there. Uh 00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:06.000 but again, they've also gotten them from making 00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.880 false statements in an application for U.S. citizenship. 00:46:09.040 --> 00:46:12.000 Now, again, is two non-citizens voting in New 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.360 Jersey a big deal in that state? 00:46:16.080 --> 00:46:17.600 I don't think so. Is it going to 00:46:17.600 --> 00:46:21.040 swing the election somehow? Maybe it did in 00:46:21.040 --> 00:46:23.360 a local election, but yeah, not certainly in 00:46:23.680 --> 00:46:26.320 an election for a federal office. Um 00:46:27.520 --> 00:46:29.920 but again, we have to get back to 00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.400 this idea of how much infection will we 00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:34.320 allow before we deal with it. You get 00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:36.400 a cut in your hand, how infected do 00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:38.000 you let it get before you actually put 00:46:38.080 --> 00:46:41.440 anti uh antiseptic on it, right? How 00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.840 long do you let infection go before you 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:45.280 um uh 00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.280 before you um uh again get 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:52.480 antibiotics for it? It's the concern that 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.960 I have, uh, but again, I'm glad that 00:46:55.120 --> 00:46:58.000 listen, I'm glad there's only two. I'm 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.880 concerned that uh New Jersey has 00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:03.840 6,600 people who are registered to vote who 00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:05.440 are not citizens of the United States. Of 00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.800 course, New Jersey uh blames a software 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.200 error when uh the software company, I've covered 00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:12.960 this before, says, no, no, we told you 00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.120 exactly what's going on. We warned you about 00:47:15.120 --> 00:47:17.360 this. You decided to move forward with this, 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:19.520 even though we warned you about this. So 00:47:19.600 --> 00:47:22.080 um, yeah, it's uh I I think this 00:47:22.240 --> 00:47:24.640 leads right New Jersey lot. But again, I'm 00:47:24.640 --> 00:47:26.640 glad it's only two, but two is too 00:47:26.640 --> 00:47:28.880 many, and I'm glad they're being prosecuted, even 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.680 if you've got this question of federal elections. 00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:34.880 At the meantime, the Department of Justice back 00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:38.320 on uh September 28th said that it 00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:41.280 got guilty pleas for 12 people across the 00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:44.160 United States for various election-related 00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:44.960 crimes. 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:48.240 Now, looking at these, these are mostly 00:47:48.240 --> 00:47:50.240 non-citizens um 00:47:51.200 --> 00:47:54.080 falsely claiming citizenship to register to vote 00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:56.800 or making false claims or voting, you know, 00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:58.960 as as an alien. Uh, many of them 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:02.240 involve making false claims on their request to 00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:05.680 for U.S. citizenship. And again, 12 across 00:48:05.680 --> 00:48:08.800 the country. Hey, I'm glad it's only 12. 00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.840 But again, how I'm still glad that that 00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:14.880 they've been caught and that they've been um 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:17.600 uh they've they've fled guilty. In other words, 00:48:17.680 --> 00:48:19.600 they figured out the uh whether whether they 00:48:19.600 --> 00:48:22.320 knew so beforehand, they figured this out. My 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.600 question is, how does this impact their future 00:48:25.600 --> 00:48:29.040 citizenship status? Now, let's break these 00:48:29.040 --> 00:48:31.840 two apart. Let's say that you uh voted 00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.920 when you were not a citizen. Well 00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:38.080 the question is, did you uh provide false 00:48:38.080 --> 00:48:40.880 information to register to vote? Or was it 00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:43.760 a simple s mistake, like in New Jersey, 00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:46.240 where you were registered to vote, even though 00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:48.800 you weren't a citizen because the state didn't 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.440 do a very good job, in which case 00:48:51.520 --> 00:48:53.680 you got a notice of, hey, you're registered 00:48:53.680 --> 00:48:55.120 to vote here and you simply went and 00:48:55.120 --> 00:48:57.680 did it. That is not uh the the 00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:59.920 that doesn't have the mens rea, the the 00:49:00.160 --> 00:49:02.160 the um the bad mind. 00:49:03.040 --> 00:49:05.280 You weren't trying to do something here. Now, 00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:07.040 on the other hand, if you made false 00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:10.240 statements on your citizenship uh application, 00:49:10.640 --> 00:49:12.560 uh if you knew you were not a 00:49:12.560 --> 00:49:14.320 citizen and went to register and you lied 00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.720 about being a citizen to register vote, that 00:49:16.720 --> 00:49:18.240 is a uh a violation, that is a 00:49:18.240 --> 00:49:19.760 crime, and that should be dealt with more 00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.040 severely. So if it's determined and they these 00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:25.920 course these people pled guilty, um, in other 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:29.200 words, it wasn't worked out in court, um 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:32.800 they got what was their plea deal? You 00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:34.400 know, hey, I I made a mistake, it 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.840 was not a mistake. Um, you know, are 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:41.280 they gonna be deported? Are they gonna 00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:44.080 be uh um is their citizenship gonna be 00:49:44.240 --> 00:49:47.600 application be denied because of this? What if 00:49:47.600 --> 00:49:49.600 you lied about being a citizen in order 00:49:49.600 --> 00:49:51.680 to vote or you made false claims on 00:49:51.680 --> 00:49:54.560 your citizenship? These are considerations, and these are 00:49:54.560 --> 00:49:56.880 individual situations and they needn't think they need 00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:58.960 to be dealt with individually. I don't like 00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:01.200 painting with too broad a brush because the 00:50:01.200 --> 00:50:04.320 details matter, and that to me is is 00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.440 part of the concern, is in our rush 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.080 to deal with the people that are violating 00:50:10.080 --> 00:50:13.200 the law flagrantly. Sometimes we harshly 00:50:13.200 --> 00:50:16.640 punish people who mistakenly violated the law. 00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:18.960 More we punish them more greatly than they 00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:21.760 really deserve based on the severity of their 00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:25.200 transgression. We want the punishment to meet the 00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:28.480 actual crime, not the perceived crime. And 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:30.080 that to me comes back to a question 00:50:30.080 --> 00:50:33.280 of priorities. Is my priority to 00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:36.640 get people who voted illegally or 00:50:36.640 --> 00:50:38.880 to make sure that the votes are accurate 00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:40.880 because we've only got people who are legally 00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:42.640 allowed to vote? I was doing an interview 00:50:42.640 --> 00:50:43.760 the other day, and we were talking, I 00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:45.120 was talking to the first about that, that 00:50:45.200 --> 00:50:47.200 you know, the constitution of every state I've 00:50:47.200 --> 00:50:48.960 checked, which right now is about half of 00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:50.800 them, say you have to be a citizen 00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.440 of the United States to vote. That gets 00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.840 into a question of well, should everybody be 00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:57.600 allowed to vote and and all this, and 00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:00.400 and uh that's another question we want to 00:51:00.640 --> 00:51:03.520 deal with. But I come back to you 00:51:03.520 --> 00:51:06.880 know, what are our priorities? Our priorities to 00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.640 make sure that the people who are legally 00:51:08.640 --> 00:51:11.760 allowed to vote actually have the ability to 00:51:11.760 --> 00:51:15.200 vote without unnecessary restrictions, while we're 00:51:15.200 --> 00:51:17.440 doing whatever is reasonable to make sure that 00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:19.600 people who are not legally allowed to vote 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:22.880 are prevented from voting, right? We now have 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:26.160 14 people, the the 12 that the DOJ 00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:28.960 has gotten guilty pleas from, and the two 00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:30.560 that are being uh that were that have 00:51:30.560 --> 00:51:33.680 been charged in New Jersey that voted when 00:51:33.680 --> 00:51:35.760 they weren't legally allowed to. Again, that's a 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.320 small number. I'm glad it's a small number. 00:51:38.560 --> 00:51:40.480 It's still bigger than I would like. 00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:43.120 Anything below 00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:47.360 anything beyond zero is more than I would 00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:49.760 like, and uh there there's a certain diminishing 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:52.640 return. But again, these people are found, they're 00:51:52.640 --> 00:51:55.040 being dealt with because a priority to me 00:51:55.200 --> 00:51:58.480 is that elections be free, fair, and transparent. 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.960 Same thing with the thing in California, right? 00:52:01.040 --> 00:52:03.760 Is it is the sheriff investigating is he 00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:06.560 allowed, is his are his investigators allowed access 00:52:06.560 --> 00:52:09.040 to the ballots? Um, do they have to 00:52:09.040 --> 00:52:10.480 be in his possession? Do they have to 00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:13.680 be in possession of uh uh the registrar 00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:17.280 of elections? I'm that's something we can 00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:19.440 consider. But look at some of the other 00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.640 things, right? Where you know, uh who decides 00:52:22.640 --> 00:52:26.000 how you live your life? Who decides what 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.800 is a priority for Congress? 00:52:29.200 --> 00:52:31.920 Right? Who decides what's a priority for 00:52:32.080 --> 00:52:35.280 Texas or for the United States? Who decides 00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:36.880 and how do they decide? 00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:39.680 And what about your priorities when it comes 00:52:39.680 --> 00:52:42.400 to the upcoming election? Is it a political 00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:44.400 party? Is it a support for Donald Trump? 00:52:44.560 --> 00:52:47.600 Is it the price of gasoline? What is 00:52:47.600 --> 00:52:50.960 your priority? And uh again, I think we 00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.600 need to examine because our priorities really should 00:52:53.600 --> 00:52:56.720 be dictating who we vote for. Now, personally, 00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:59.200 I hope your priorities are not political party. 00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:01.760 I understand a lot of people vote that 00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:04.400 way, and and I understand the logic of 00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:06.880 some people in this midterm election about not 00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:09.760 wanting uh the Democrats to take control of 00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:12.320 Congress because of all the craziness that'll happen. 00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:14.800 But again, we're seeing kangaroo courts on both 00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.680 sides, so I I I understand I don't 00:53:17.680 --> 00:53:20.480 necessarily agree with it. I want people whose 00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.440 priorities are their oath to the 00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:26.640 Constitution, and not just some spoken oath, but 00:53:26.640 --> 00:53:28.720 their actions behind it. I know a lot 00:53:28.720 --> 00:53:30.400 of people that claim, oh yeah, I fulfill 00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:32.640 my oath to the constitution as they violate 00:53:32.640 --> 00:53:35.040 the language of the constitution day in and 00:53:35.040 --> 00:53:35.600 day out. 00:53:36.560 --> 00:53:38.960 My priorities are the Supreme Law of the 00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:40.560 Land. That's kind of what I do here, 00:53:40.720 --> 00:53:43.680 right? Makes those make sense. But I know 00:53:43.680 --> 00:53:46.480 not everybody has those priorities. And that to 00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:48.880 me brings in a serious question because if 00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:50.400 the rule of law is not one of 00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:52.960 your priorities, what is? 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:56.240 Because if laws don't mean something based on 00:53:56.240 --> 00:53:57.200 what they say, 00:53:58.160 --> 00:54:01.120 well, doesn't that leave us kind of wide 00:54:01.120 --> 00:54:04.080 open to well the very the very 00:54:04.080 --> 00:54:07.520 democracy that our founding fathers were so 00:54:07.520 --> 00:54:09.120 afraid of they made sure we weren't one, 00:54:09.200 --> 00:54:11.600 they made sure we were a republic. That 00:54:11.680 --> 00:54:14.720 the the whims of of um of of 00:54:14.720 --> 00:54:18.160 the groups could not suddenly overrun 00:54:18.160 --> 00:54:21.520 your rights and the law. That to me 00:54:21.600 --> 00:54:25.040 is a priority. Now, if your priority 00:54:25.040 --> 00:54:28.400 is the constitution, well, how far are you 00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:30.080 willing to go? So I created a program 00:54:30.080 --> 00:54:32.720 at The Constitution Study called the Patriots Program. 00:54:33.040 --> 00:54:35.280 It's not just another patriot group, right? This 00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:37.840 is a a program for people who are 00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.200 serious about studying and applying the Constitution. 00:54:41.600 --> 00:54:43.680 It comes in three phases, there's three parts 00:54:43.680 --> 00:54:46.880 to it. Um, education, communication, and 00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.840 activation. So education. People want to deeply read 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:51.280 and study the con, they want to go 00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:53.440 deep on what the constitution says, what it 00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:56.240 means, and researching what it finds out. Um, 00:54:56.400 --> 00:54:58.400 the communication, how do we know what other 00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:00.560 groups are doing? I'm not trying to replace 00:55:00.560 --> 00:55:02.720 other groups, I'm trying to give them tools 00:55:02.720 --> 00:55:06.080 and resources. And um, are you interested 00:55:06.080 --> 00:55:08.400 in that? And then activation. Are you willing 00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:10.560 to stand up and support people who are 00:55:10.560 --> 00:55:13.200 fighting for their rights? Now, if this sounds 00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:15.120 interesting to you, check out the Patriots program 00:55:15.120 --> 00:55:18.480 at Constitution Study.com/slash Patriots. It's not 00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:21.760 for everybody. In fact, not everybody can even 00:55:22.080 --> 00:55:25.440 join and need an invitation. How do you 00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:27.360 get an invitation? You ask. Well, if you 00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:30.160 go to constitutionstudy.comslash patriots, you can sign up 00:55:30.160 --> 00:55:32.720 for the boot camp. It's a one-hour video, 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:34.640 or you can contact me and have me 00:55:34.640 --> 00:55:36.320 come out and deliver this to a group. 00:55:36.560 --> 00:55:38.480 But it's designed to give you the basic 00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:41.920 concepts behind the constitution study and the patriots 00:55:42.080 --> 00:55:44.640 program and make sure that's it's something you're 00:55:44.640 --> 00:55:47.440 interested in. Make something you're ready to proceed 00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:49.840 with. Now, if you pass the the boot 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:52.000 camp and you sign the oath, well, you'll 00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:53.920 get an invitation for a chance to join 00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:56.640 us here at the Patriots program and really 00:55:56.960 --> 00:55:59.520 be involved in supporting the 00:55:59.520 --> 00:56:02.560 Constitution and standing up for the rights and 00:56:02.640 --> 00:56:04.400 rule of law that most of us say 00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:06.640 we really care about. Now, I also hope 00:56:06.640 --> 00:56:08.400 you'll join me here for The Constitution Study 00:56:08.560 --> 00:56:10.480 on America Out Loud Talk Radio, heard in 00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:13.440 the iHeartRadio Network every weekday at 4 p.m. 00:56:13.600 --> 00:56:15.840 Eastern Time.
