Ep. 198 - The Truth About What is NOT in the Constitution
Wednesday May 11, 2022
Wednesday May 11, 2022
What powers are granted by the United States Constitution to the federal government? Not much!
What is NOT in the Constitution? A lot! Things such as:
Privacy, abortion, assault weapons, old age pensions, welfare programs or infrastructure spending! There is no mention of a central bank - paper currency or digital currency, student loans or mortgages! There’s nothing about education, healthcare or health insurance, corporate bailouts, the environment or carbon dioxide emissions! Nothing about energy, labor laws, occupational safety, transportation, food, pharmaceuticals, disease control or farm subsidies! You won’t find homeland security, the CIA, the NSA, consumer protection, election laws, border security, regulating financial companies or the FDIC!
In this episode we demonstrate the absurdity and unconstitutionality of the federal government's never-ending power grab and examine the proper role it should play in society if it were put back in its small and extremely limited, constitutional sandbox.

Ep. 137 - The Truth About Post-Constitutional America
Sunday Feb 14, 2021
Sunday Feb 14, 2021
The Constitution served as the glue that held the United States together for over two hundred years. Unfortunately, over the last century, we have seen a steady erosion of the principles and rules of the game captured in that document. So much so that we now live in a post-constitutional country where the document is all but ignored or it is bastardized to fit the needs of the ruling class.
The sheer size of the federal government and the power it wields far exceeds anything the founding generation could ever have imagined. For those who love the country, this is a sad revelation. For those who love power, control and influence, they can claim victory.

Ep. 120 - The Truth About the Tenth Amendment
Thursday Oct 29, 2020
Thursday Oct 29, 2020
In this episode we examine the American experiment through the lens of the Tenth Amendment which Thomas Jefferson called the foundation of the Constitution.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
That means, the federal government is only authorized to do those few things that have been delegated to it. It is my contention that, if the federal government was still in its tiny, little sandbox created for it by the Constitution, this country would thrive. Unfortunately the federal leviathan has not only outgrown its sandbox but has taken over the entire yard, neighborhood, state, country!
The consequences of the overreach are largely unseen yet substantial. The corruption, the failure of one-size-fits-all policies, the influence peddling - all of it acts as a restraint on the American system of free markets, entrepreneurism, freedom and liberty. Instead we allow a handful of powerful people in D.C. and the media to divide us into a series of special interest groups who fight and bicker with each other. All the while the leviathan continues to grow and grow and grow with the only end in sight being the collapse of the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy, which come to think of it, might have been the plan all along.

Ep. 110 - The Truth About How to Save America from Itself
Monday Aug 10, 2020
Monday Aug 10, 2020
If you asked 100 people if they think America is healthy culturally, financially, spiritually, educationally, racially, or constitutionally, I am willing to bet a large majority would respond in the negative.
America is broken and the only thing that can save it (from itself) is state secession.
In this episode I build the case for secession:
The reasons it is necessary
Why secession is good
Refute most of the common objections to secession
Address how it could be accomplished in the 21st century
Please comment below and help build the secession movement.

Ep. 75 - The Truth About the Anti-Federalists
Thursday Dec 05, 2019
Thursday Dec 05, 2019
When you hear discussions about the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, you are likely hearing about the majority group who supported the new Constitution called the Federalists. However, there was another group of prophetic founders who opposed the Constitution as written for a variety of reasons who were equally important. They are called the Anti-Federalists. These forgotten founders warned about the inevitable growth in size, scope and power of the federal government - especially the judiciary - all at the expense of the individual states.
Evidence of their accurate predictions can be seen virtually everyday in the national news.

In the last two episodes, I introduced or re-introduced you to The Federalist Papers and discussed some of the checks and balances in the Constitution - the legislative and executive branches of government. Today we are going to discuss, as Paul Harvey used to say, “The rest of the story!” – the Judicial branch, States Rights, taxation, the military, and a brief look at the Necessary and Proper and Supremacy clauses of the Constitution.

Ep. 3 - The Truth About the Constitution - Where in the Constitution
Friday Jul 20, 2018
Friday Jul 20, 2018
In America we are living through a perpetual constitutional crisis. The heavy restrictions placed on the federal government by the United States Constitution have been largely ignored for most of the country's history. We have experienced both small and incremental steps in the power and growth of the federal government (federal agencies, bureaucracies and regulations) as well as large and unprecedented leaps (the Alien and Sedition Acts, the internment of Japanese, The Patriot Act, and NSA spying).
In this episode I hope to influence the way you look at the federal government going forward - through the eyes of the Founding Fathers.
As mentioned in previous episodes, questions are powerful methods of persuasion especially when you require skeptics to answer them. In Episode 2, I posed the question "WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?" Today I will pose the question, "WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION?" This is a question I hope you ask every time you evaluate the actions of our elected and unelected officials in Washington, D.C.
