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.

Internet Sales Tax - Forget Marketing, Just Get Congress To Pass A Law

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What is this idea that we need a permission slip from the Senate and then from the Congress in order to pass this tax? As I said, follow the money. Where’s the money going? The states don’t want to do this because they know that if they do it, you’re going to revolt. That’s why we have this story in the form that it is today.

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If there aren’t people that are willing to pay illegals to do the work that Americans won’t do, then illegals will stop coming here. If the purpose is economic, then if you shut off the economic spigot, that will stop it, whether you close the border or not. If the purpose is economic inasmuch as they come here and get free things, housing, education, healthcare and what have you, if you shut the spigot off, ditto that. Check ….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What are we in such a hurry for? Slow down. Now we’ve got to be in a hurry to get charges filed against the surviving perp, get him to court, get him tried, and in some people’s estimation, like Ted Nugent, bring him out to the public square. I guess for the anniversary, this would be a great spectacle. Or next year’s Boston Marathon, before the festivities begin, they can build a festive-looking gallows there. If we can g….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Who is to say, without government mandate that a health insurance company must cover this, cover mental health, cover reproductive services, hangnails, whatever else they say you must cover, who is to say that any of the things that prolong life or are beneficial to the human condition and to our health are based on the price mechanism? The only way you would develop these things is if people could afford to pay for them. Check out….Continue

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Yesterday we talked to my buddy Mark Kreslins about the attempt to nullify Obamacare in the State of Oklahoma and that it stalled in the Oklahoma Senate because of the protestations of one historically ignorant senator, a gentlemen by the name of Clark Jolley. That’s up for debate as to what’s going to happen with that. There is another effort in the State of Kansas that is making its way to the desk of Governor Brownback. Che….Continue

Caller Larry Wants To Kick California Out Of The Union

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I would imagine you could easily carve five or six states out of California, piece of cake. Well, if you’re going to remain in the United States, then each one of those states gets its own two United States senators. You’re diluting the power. You don’t have to have just Dianne Feinstein and Babs Boxer. You get to elect your two members of the United States Senate. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue

Maryland's Second Amendment Battle

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let me be clear. I am not a proponent of and I think it’s heinous that the State of Maryland would ban or try to interfere with its citizens protecting themselves outside of their homes by carrying their weapons with them. Here in Louisiana, your automobile is an extension of your home. If you want to bring your weapon with you and you’re carrying it in your car, you’re basically carrying it in ….Continue

Kevin Gutzman on Supreme Court and Defense of Marriage Act

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Video Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - If the high court of the United States gets out of hand by dictating what should and shouldn't be marriage (among numerous other things they've done), is there anything the Congress can do? Yes. The Congress can impeach them. According to Kevin Gutzman most people simply think of this as removing criminals from the Executive Branch, but it can be used in this case as well. Kevin also discusses how the Supreme Court, who is appointe….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Because a court makes a decision that alters or purports to alter foundational law, which the Constitution is, does not make it right. What they’ve basically done is amend the First Amendment. In the McDonald case, they amended the Second Amendment. In other cases, they amended Amendments Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven and Eight as well. They don’t have the authority to do that. Check out today….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – First of all, you wrote the book Nullification. I’m sure you saw that yesterday the Oklahoma House voted by a vote of 72-20, pretty overwhelming, to nullify Obamacare. Even here in 2013 and about three or four years after nullification came out, it seems like some of our fellow citizens and countrymen are still pursuing nullification.

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - If you thought 2013 was going to be bad, just go back 100 years to where it all started in 1913: Woodrow Wilson is inaugurated and creates the Federal Reserve which creates the boom and bust cycle for the next 100 years, the 16th Amendment reinstated the Federal Income Tax, and the 17th Amendment made the direct election of Senators possible, putting the final nail in the coffin to states rights.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – You have a most intriguing and peculiar piece of legislation that actually was the brainchild of one of my organizations, the ReFounding Father Society. This is at least partially James Knox’s idea here, about how to restore some manner of federalism in the election or selection of senators, in this case in the State of Tennessee. Can you just elaborate a little on what the bill does and does not do? Check out today’s transcri….Continue

[The powerful Executive branch]...converts representation into vassalage to the leaders of parties, disciplined, not by the comparatively honourable infliction of the lash, but by the base and wicked sophism, that it is honourable to stick to a party, and treacherous to adhere to conscience. The disciples of this infamous doctrine are forged into tools for ambition and tyranny by praises and rewards, whilst honesty is discouraged by base epithets, as a foil to the varnish with which the decoys are painted, designed to deceive and enslave the multitude
