E62 - The Government is Not Legal with Paul Engel

The government is a body that is supposed to represent the people. It is supposed to be a fair and just institution that works for the common good. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. 

Several agencies and institutions within the government are illegitimate and do not have the people’s best interests at heart. Sometimes, these departments and agencies are created to further the agendas of special interest groups rather than serving the American people. Other times, they are simply unconstitutional, ineffective, and waste our tax dollars.

In this episode, Jim and Dan are again joined by author and speaker Paul Engel. As an advocate of the Constitution, Paul talks about how much of the government is illegitimate. He also speaks about the government’s departments and agencies that are illegal to exist, the disturbing truths about these agencies, and what it takes to fix the government.

Frustrated by Americans' general lack of knowledge about their Constitution, Paul founded The Constitutional Study to encourage others to read, study and understand the Constitution for themselves.
