Where Did Congress Get The Power To Fund Anything And Everything Under The Sun?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – A state is nothing more than the official arm of operation for the people of any sovereign territory. That’s all a state is. People think: We ought to do all these things in our states. What do you mean by states? Few people ever bother to define it. The state, I would define as having a sovereign border, sovereign territory, sovereign people that are citizens, and they have the will to enact and the power to enforce law. Sim….Continue

Do States Have the Power To Charge Treason?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The states that ratified or in the future would ratify the Constitution would ratify it under the understanding that they are sovereign entities and they are entering into a compact, meaning that if they do not delegate an authority to be exercised on their behalf by the new general government, then they have reserved that power. The states did delegate the authority to prosecute treasons against the ge….Continue

2nd Amendment Fight Isn't The End, It's The Wake-Up Call To Rethinking The Union

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – When the Constitution was ratified, the guy who actually wrote the “We the people” script and actually wrote the four original parchment paper pages that hold the original text of the original Constitution, Gouverneur Morris, he went to his grave convinced that his grandchildren would not live in an American Union consecrated under a Constitution. It is nothing short of an absolute miracle or maybe a curse, depending on whose si….Continue

Kansas Nullifies Gun Law As Eric Holder Threatens With Supremacy Clause

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – To read this letter here is just to read the most laughable interpretation of the federal constitution -- I say laughable in 18th century terms. Of course today people think that what Eric Holder wrote, [mocking] “Yeah, he can do that.” You have guys like Bill O’Reilly running around who will cite the supremacy clause for the silliest things and not even question it. You should question it. The Feds are not supreme and you ….Continue

Do We Need A Union When We Have The State?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The way I read history and the way it used to be read all the way up until, I don’t know, maybe 1971 or so, to the “modern era,” the Supreme Court was convened and existed because of Article III in the U.S. Constitution. I know it’s old and antiquated, fuddy-duddy, and we don’t use it anymore. It’s dead and doesn’t mean what it once was. People in 1788 couldn’t have possibly known that….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What is a state? Why do we care what a state is? Why should it matter? That’s an even better question. This is part of the intellectual due diligence process that we should go through in these instances and remind your fellow citizens. Why do we have states?

Organized Religion Isn't Dying, Government Is Now Religion

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Because organized religion still exists today. It’s called government. It’s called State Legislature of Louisiana. It is called Congress. It’s called the Senate. Most people treat the Supreme Court as if it is a deity, as if it has god-like powers. Not only does it have them, it ought to discharge them, ought to use them. That is unbelievably wicked and scary, investing that kind of authority in nine unelected men and wo….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Representative James White of Woodville is actually going through the legal, thought-provoking, and intelligent process of making a legal assertion and a principled assertion and a constitutional assertion as to why Texas is well within her rights to do this.

Militias Are The First Responsibility Of Citizens

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The ultimate responsibility of the citizen is to protect his property and, by extension, to protect property of those that surround him in his sovereign state, wherever his geography may be. That’s why you are a citizen and why you swear allegiance to a geographic or sovereign state. That’s the purpose of being a citizen. It’s not to buy things. It’s not to show up here or there. It is to be the first line of defense. What ….Continue

A Sovereign State Is Its People, Not Its Government

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - A state is a collection of sovereign people. A state is not -- you live in Philadelphia. When your legislature or assembly meets in Harrisburg, that is not the state. That is the elected representatives of the state. The state is the people. The people are the sovereign. The only other way this works is when the king is the sovereign. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue

Sovereign Citizens And Article V Amendment Convention

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The fact that we’re having this conversation demonstrates yet again that the Constitution is not the work of a God; it’s the work of fallible men. They did not and could not have possibly foreseen all the damage and usurpations that would be visited upon the compact by designing men. You have to perceive these things. Their attitude was correct. You have to go into the proceedings and legislative sessions or conventions with the ….Continue

Why Doesn't Texas Just Secede Already?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - It makes no sense to me. This is another great example of how the propaganda and “to the victor go the spoils” mentality that it has weighed on the heads of Texans for 150 years. You drive around Houston and you’ll see secede stickers all over the place. No one is actually talking about doing something about it. I’d say there are about 16 trillion immediate reasons why you ought to do something a….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The problem today is, and why your plan will not work under current conditions, because your State of Pennsylvania is in on it. Your state, just like my state, cannot exist and cannot continue to pretend that it can afford all the vainglorious government services it provides without the general government borrowing $1 trillion plus every year and then sending it back to the states in the form of block grants.

The Constitution Was Written By Fallible Men, Not Divined By God

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - You see and hear it every day on this show when people call me up and argue with me about incorporation and deny the history. It has to do with this idea that the United States Constitution was sent by God, that it was carried down from Mt. Sinai, which was Independence Hall, carved on stone tablets, and we’re all sworn a perpetual and never-ending oath to uphold and worship it. It was a document, ladies and gentlemen, written by mor….Continue

Southerners Should Surrender Their 4 Remaining Traditions and Just Be More Like Yankees

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - In other words, we don’t care about our Northern neighbors, and because we don’t care, that is the fault.  If Southerners would just start caring about their Yankee neighbors and stop all this silliness about God and guns and conservatism and constitutions and what have you, we’d all be as right as rain.  Manna would fall from heaven.  Streets would be paved with gold.  Budgets would be balanced.  The poor would be cared for.….Continue

Of The Permanence Of The Union - 1825, William Rawles

Topics: , , ,

Mandeville, LA - The Question on a lot of people's minds is actually one that our revisionist history pretends to answer with impunity: Is secession legal? This book, written 7 years before the first ramblings of "indivisibility" would be heard from Jackson, along with the works of Taylor & St George's Tucker, the Of Presidencies of Jefferson and Madison answer unequivocally "yes!" As Rawle puts it herein... "It depends on the state itself to retain or abolish the principl….Continue
