Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If anyone would have stood up at the Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, or South Carolina ratification hearings and said a future attorney general of the United States would be having press conferences about whether or not he was going to choose to strike down a legal statute passed by the legislature or ballot initiative of any state that did not contravene any of the enumerated powers granted to the general government….Continue

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Approximately 240 years ago the Congress and Senate were supposed to have their first meeting to elect the first President of the United States of America... but not enough Senators showed up to form a quorum. There were enough Congressmen there, but it took them several weeks and numerous letters to get some of the Senators (ahem,Virginia, ahem) there. And of course, when enough finally got to Federal Hall in New York, they electe….Continue

Donald in Texas Would Rather Secede and Deal With His Own Problems... Sounds Like federalism To Me

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What you’re basically describing to me is that you desire a return to a very healthy and energetic form of federalism, which is what you could have under a federal system as envisioned and ordered by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, that is not what we currently have. There is an attempt at federalism but it’s abandoned all too easily. There are a few people that are actually dedicated and devoted to it. I’d say that in th….Continue

Madison's Account of the Bill of Rights - by Kevin Gutzman

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The Bill of Rights is coming around at a time when Rhode Island and North Carolina are refusing to ratify. They’re still terrified of the new government. Do you really think the first ten amendments were put in there so the federal government could order the states about? It’s just ridiculous. Of course, I understand many of you have been bludgeoned over the head with a lie your entire lives over what the Constitution is and what….Continue

The Lifestyle of the Rich and Petraeus

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - How many of you think that George Washington would have accepted all of the accoutrements that Petraeus did as head of the CIA? Do you think Washington would have taken a 28 horse entourage from the airport (had they been around) to his mistresses house? I think not, his honor would not have let him. Well, the guys that run our country now have it pretty easy, police escorts, a staff to read everything….Continue

How to Define a Conservative and Liberal

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The true conservative in the mold of [r]epublicans like Madison and Washington and Taylor of Caroline and the Englishman Burke and 20th century versions you would find like Tolkien and C.S. Elliott and Russell Kirk and others, they would not recognize today’s conservatives. I think that says an awful lot of bad things about today’s conservatives. I used to ask the question: what is it that we want to c….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Don’t feed me this crap that we’re the first generation and we have it worse than anyone else.  I guarantee you that those that lived to the 1820’s that were of the founding generation, many of them if not almost all of them went to their graves believing that the end was near, that they had totally screwed up and botched it, and that their countrymen that came after them were going to blow it, that there wasn’t going to be much….Continue

Why Was There a Constitution Called For?

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What it takes to be a constitutional expert today is to have gone to a law school on the East Coast, it’s as simple as that, and to have had some professor profess to teach the subject.  What they actually teach, if they teach at all, is they teach Supreme Court history.  It’s not really Constitution history; it’s Supreme Court history.  Constitution history is a fairly straightforward field of stud….Continue
