Gritting to my fellow friend low stopping Thinkers, thank you

the Beautiful Realms Up on the Earth. Today's date is
Thursday July seventeenth, twenty twenty five is episode eighteen sixty two.
Donald Trump lied to you, MAGA and America needs a

(00:53):
bold constitutional reconstruction agenda. Question all that, of course, before

(01:45):
are certainly in a delicate situation. But my fear is
that the people are not yet sufficiently misled to retract
from error to be plainer. I think there's more wickedness
than ignorance mixed in our consols. Ignorance and design are
difficult to combat. Out of these proceed illiberal sentiments, in

(02:08):
proper jealousies, and a train of evils, which oftentimes in
republican governments must be sorely felt before they can be removed.
Former that is ignorant being a fit soil for the
latter to work it. Tools are employed by them which
generous mind would disdain to use, and which nothing but

(02:33):
time and their own puerile or wicked productions can show
the effacy, in effacy and dangerous tendencies of I think
often of our situation, and view it with concern. From
the ground we stood upon, from the plain path which
invited our footsteps to be so fallen, so lost. It

(02:58):
is really mortifying. But virtue, I fear, has in a
great degree taken its departure from our land, and the
want of a disposition disposition to do justice is the
source of the national embarrassments. For whatever guys or colorings

(03:20):
are given to them, this I apprehend is the original
of the evils we now feel, and probably shall labor under.
For some yet time there was a letter from George
Washington to John Jay in seventeen eighty six. What we're

(03:43):
seeing right now is really nothing new, and of course
people want their Lord and saviors. They go on about
and it is highly disappointed or infuriated. He's with Donald Trump.

(04:06):
He would have been the same with Kamala Harris and
his predecessors. Of course, Trump, to be exact, been going
on for a very long time, a great centralization of
the United States, and all the dingleberries, the douchebags in

(04:29):
Congress gave him that power and they just stood back
along as they're in their team, whether it's the Democrats
or Republicans. That's what happens, folks, when you become apathetic,
rather than engage, talk about team Blue, team Red, there's

(04:52):
nothing more than a facade, a mirage that will lead
to despotism. Always question everything, even including the ones you
supported or voted for. We all have obligations not to complain,

(05:19):
to whine, but take action. There was a time around
August first and second of nineteen forty six where a
great battle happened in Athens, Tennessee, was over election campering.
That's been going on before this battle, and of course

(05:46):
the GIS out of the say said if we have
to free Europe, we're going to free Athens. Because during
that time the GI party had their own challengers to
go after the incumbents, hostilities, people being intimidated who they

(06:10):
vote for, and during the elections on that day of August,
first the sheriff thought he was smart than everybody else.
Then the g I said help final option, get the
weapons from the armory, and there was a big shootout
at the jail Vaiga's control.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
He left after they detonated the door, blow up the
doors of dynamite, but the but the ballots were.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Secured.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Then they actually how the elections board and the GIS won.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Contrail heard he took off the sheriff.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
He was doing a what was it became a used
car salesman.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
This on the JPFO. But I red metal articles.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I did some shows and something by the way to
check out a speaker, I mean that speaker and Pobby
YouTube you can find you can find.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Me on that. And he had no regrets. He had
no monsters the GX. He knew these two on principle.
But the fast thing about it, it was pretty nasty.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Even deputies were getting pulverized by from With our capture
tied up, the trees start beating the lathing crap out
of them, and the GIS themselves had to really had
to break it up because they got screwed around for all.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
These years being bullied and intimidated. And I digress, sorry
about that, but this is very essential to know these things.
That's why when everyone focused on the presidency as the

(07:56):
Lord and saviors and I never really go after that,
go ape over those things because if you read the
US Constitution, Article two gives the powers of the executive,
including the president, is not the Lord and savior. One
size fits all going on for good roughly one hundred

(08:23):
and seventy years, he can say, maybe earlier than that. However,
I'm gonna be reading a couple of articles. This one
here came from Chuck Baldwin Live dot com and it's

(08:44):
called faces Maga, Donald Trump Lie to You. So let's
just check out what he has to say here, pastor
Chuck Baldwin, Donald Trump's the MAGA supporters are much like
the evangelical supporters of Israel. In fact, the large percentage

(09:06):
of these two groups are one and the same. Evangelicals
definantly refuse to believe that Cyrus Scholfield and their expensization
pass throughs lie to them, and MAGA supporters that are
defiantly refused to believe that Trump lied to them. But

(09:26):
the peace and prospecity of America just might depend on
MAGA facing the reality that Donald Trump has indeed lied
to them. Six months into Trump's term in office have
proven that these similarities between Donald Trump and Joe Biden
are much more than the differences between them. Ukraine, we

(09:47):
are clearly remember Trump's repeated campaign prompts to end the
war in Ukraine within twenty four hours after taking office.
Few people believe he could literally end the war one day.
We all knew that the present the United States had
the power to end that conflict in a very brief
period of time, a couple of weeks or less. All

(10:10):
Trump needed to do was to terminate US munition pipeline
munitions pipeline to Ukraine and withdraw all US personnel, including
and especially the CIA, from Ukraine. Had Trump done that,
done what he promised to do, the mass murderer and
corrupt politician live Mir Zolinski would have been forced to
seize his stupid Trump works proxy war with Russia, and

(10:33):
the war would have ended fasts fasts, and hundreds and
thousands of Ukrainians would still be alive. But what has
Trump done? He has continued and is now explaining Ukraine's
meaning America stupid war. The US President Donald Trump will,

(10:53):
for the first time he uses authority send weapons drawn
from Pentagon Stock Palace directly to Ukraine, words we've report
on Thursday, signing two people familiar with the decision. While
the Trump administration has so far only delivered weapons approved
under his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, the Presidential Drawdown

(11:14):
Authority PDA allows Trump to supply arms Ukraine in an emergency.
The new shipment could reportedly be worth around three hundred
million dollars and may include patriots service to air missiles
as well as medium range rockets.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
One moment, okay, I always forget to hit the silencer
on my phone.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's my microphone today. So the president confirmer this week
that he would send additional arms to Ukraine. During his
elections campaign, Trump criticized Biden's unconstitutional aid to Kayiv and
called the Ukrainian leader of Latmar Zelenski the greatest salesman
on Earth for persuading Democrats to keep weapons flowing. Trump

(12:04):
justifies this betrayal of the American people who vote for
him in typical Trump fashion by turning his betrayal into
a business deal. The European unit is paying for them,
America's Patriot missiles. We are not paying any of any
for them. This is this will be business for us.

(12:25):
That's accorder. Rt SO money for the war profiteers justifies
the escalation of the Ukraine War. The military industrial complex
and its allies in Congress will continue to rake in
huge financial profits off the blood of the Ukrainian people.
An open letter to President Trump, Mark Dankoff rights, you

(12:49):
have lies in the American public on the Russian Ukrainian War.
Instead of acknowledging that the United States had no business
engagement in Akuti tai KAIV in February twenty seventeen and
continuing the illegitimacy policy of expanding natal to encircle Russia,
your latest decision to armed Zelenski further has now made

(13:10):
mister Biden's war mister Trump's war. Apparently, no one has
informed you that mister Putin and the Russians have already
won this conflict and have decided, after the Mysk and
Istanbul negotiation frauds, the North Stream pipeline bombing, and the
Dungena assassination, among others, that ooh, acquiescence to your game

(13:36):
playing is not going to happen. The only question remains
is whether or not the entirety of Ukraine is going
to be destroyed and annexed by Russia, while remaining Ukrainian
is confined to residents in a blue and yellow flag
cemetery not of their choice. Your policy pivots only prolonged
the possibility of direct American military involvement, and it will

(14:00):
or the United States cannot win for reasons not related
to all the national security of this country. Maga, Donald Trump,
lie to you. Wars for Israel, Israel's genocile slutter of
innocent Palastinians and gods that continues continues unabated, with one
hundred children from Al Jazeera being murdered or wounded every day,

(14:23):
as Donald Trump continues to provide the murderous madman Benjamin
and Yahoo with a perpetual supply of billions of dollars
worth of US munitions with at least two see one
thirty cargo planes arriving in Israel each week. Many of
the Palestinian victims are being massacred as they arrive at
Israeli ambush points aka foods distribution centers. Added to the

(14:47):
ugliness of America's involvement in Israel's war, lust is at
many American mercenaries as from the Gray Zone, so that
the fortune are in Israel working as snipers to pick
offf Paladinian people one by one. Furthermore, Trump is collaborating
with Yahoo on the plan the forced Gazans into concentration camps.

(15:07):
There's a YouTube on a link on that and proceeed
what Trump's goal of turning Gaza into the rivier of
the Middle East instead of ending Israel's war in the
Middle of East, Trump not only has continued the genocide
in Gaza, but he has also expanded the war to
include the US bombing of Yemen and Iran and then

(15:27):
expanded Israeli assault against the West Bank in Lebanon. Not
to mention Trump's support for the Isis al Kada terrorists
takeover of Syria, which was done to create a second
warfront against Iran. And speaking of Syria, according to Zero hedge.
This was this is what terrorist jihadis like. Donald Trump

(15:48):
helped out put in control of Syria with the sanctions
for removed terrorist Destination form and had his picture taken
shaking hands with are doing with Trump's newfound favor I mean,
really read and watch the report. Then try to convince
yourself that Donald Trump is a well intentioned man who

(16:11):
truly loves people and wants what's best for the Middle East,
for Christians and for America. Keep telling yourself that as
you bury your soul and harden your heart to continue
following a monster on Donald Trump's Middle East betrayal. Danko's
letter to the President from vtformpolicy dot Com states, your

(16:38):
continued pursuit of a Middle Eastern form policy under the
Russian of Bitamin and Yahoo Apax, a Republican Jewish coalition,
and a defense secretary link to the Israeli Temple Mount
eschaeological crackpot association is from Culture Wars has now led
you to an idiotic and criminal decision to a Tacki Ron.

(16:58):
The result on top your commission assassination of General Solamani
that's on tizing news. An American withdrawal from j C
p o A on your first term, this term, second
term military assaults has resulted and Iranian was drawn from
the MPT. The brooding of an Israeli friendly I e

(17:21):
I A e I out of Iran an ununderstandable resolve
on the part of the Iranians to avoid any further
dialogue with the United States From Intelligience often CI A
case officer Philip Gardi from UNS dot com summarizes Trump's
betrayal of his peace promises this way as it goes,

(17:42):
as it goes so much lion and decimulation that one
has to wonder what surprises will be on the next table,
on the table next week. The fog of war may
have lifted for now, and the phony siege fire between
Israel and Iran has paused the immediate bloodh but don't
be fooled. The respite is to allow an exhausted Israel

(18:06):
re arm with US provided weapons. So the neo conservatives
and Israel firsters aren't done. The war's robe was still beating,
and Trump's America's First Movement is starting to fracture under
the strain where a growing divide inside MAGA over America's
pointless wars of Israel. One group wants to stand out

(18:28):
foreign conflicts, while the other is ready to back Israel
completely no matter the cost. I say, throw other posteriors
on the front line. See how tough they are. Right.
One group wants to stay out of the form conflicts,
while the other. I already said that Trump is either
consciously or ineverently playing his usual role of brewing contradictions

(18:50):
and sowing confusion and instability every time he speaks or acts.
Israel cannot retreat, It can only continue on his path
of blood and slaughter, and Irano will not surrender. This
might create, in the near and long run for the
potential of a major false flag operation by Israel to

(19:12):
withdraw the United States and trigger full blown war against Iran.
Maga Trump lie to you Epstein files. One of Trump's
first date that i'ms of business after taking office was
to release the Epstein files. But only a few days
ago we all saw Trump's angry determination to maintain the

(19:32):
Epstein cover up. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson released a
report entitled the Epstein Client List. Why is Trump breaking
his promise to publish? As from Sonar twenty one dot
com and Johnson Johnson's report. He shows the first page
of Epstein's client list, which was complied by historian research.

(19:54):
Ryan Dawson. Johnson writes, although Donald Trump and Pambody insists
that they're there are no Epstein client lists, there's a
list and is reproduced above with permission of his author.
Ryan Dawson compiled the list the old fashioned way. He
combed through court transcripts and charging documents. He only puts

(20:16):
names on the list if the victims of Epstein's pedophilia
enterprise identified or named a particular individual. As you pursue
the list, you will notice there are some very wealthy,
powerful individual's name. Not one of them has brought a
libel or slandered legal action against Ryan. If he was

(20:37):
posting Fosse material, he would have been a certain target
for lawsuits. Of course, we all saw the defiant Trump
when he asked at a press conference. Here's the YouTube
clipped by that about the Epstein files. By his British reaction,
is obvious that Trump has no intention of releasing the
Epstein files. Why not? In his report, Larrysen opptists, pines,

(21:04):
I would go to call this optis. So why has
Donald Trump broken his promise to publish a list. I
think there are two reasons neither are mutually exclusive. First,
Donald Trump probably paid no attention to Ryan's work and
was never familiar with the list. Once he signed the
executive order to publish Epstein file, he was then brief

(21:24):
on the actual names and realized that many of them
are major donors to his campaign e g. Jamie Diamond,
Robert Kraft. While there are several names on that list
who are confirmed any trum Trumpers, there are others who
are friends. Second, in my opinion, an important consideration is
that the full Epstein file would expose a foreign intelligence

(21:48):
blackmail operation that implicates the MASAD and the CIA. Alexander
Acosta is a former secretary of liber for Donald Trump,
said he told he was told that Jeffrey Epstein has
ties to intelligence. During a controversy surrounding his handle of
Epstein's two thousand and eight plea deal as US attorney,
a constant reportedly told Trump administration officials that he had

(22:09):
been informed Epstein has been informed Epstein belonged to intelligence,
and that this was a reason for the unusually lenient
plea agreement. It would not be It would not surprise
me that bb net now who asked Trump to pull
the plug on the release of material? Did Trump get
something in return from bb It went from Paul Craig Roberts.

(22:31):
It was a lot lou Rockwell dot com. Second Johnson
speculated Epstein Massagh connection. As Epstein was murdered to keep
him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released.
Ag Bondi said he had the files and videos and
was going through them, but then the men in black
paid a visit and suddenly there were no files. Moreover,

(22:54):
the authorities concluded that Epstein committed suicide his prison cell.
So we are with the puzzle. There's no evidence that
Epstein did anything wrong, so he committed suicide for no reason.
If Epstein had a little client lists, to whom was
he trafficking the minors? The stek is so strong that
Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is reportedly

(23:19):
considering resigning. In some of the Times of India, I
signed a news source from India to show that the
entire world is watching the US government to make a
fool of itself. This is not a who is the
most Maga Bondi or Bongino situation. It is really ely
prevailing the whistle from being blown on them back by

(23:39):
netting Yahoo, making sure Trump understands that Epstein's connections to
Massade does not come up. Indeed, that and not Iran,
could be the real reason for netting Yahoo's visit. If
Iran was the reason, how come we have not heard
anything about the discussion or decision. The simulation seems clear enough.

(24:03):
So many people are ensnared in videos engaged in sex
with underaged persons that it must be hushed up otherwise
Americans would lose confidence in their leadership class. So, folks,
there's nothing there. The Clintons and the princes and all
the others were flown to Epstein Island, where they were

(24:23):
underage sexual attraction attractions, just to see the island and
to have tea with Epstein, a math teacher who somehow
overnight became super rich. The probab with Epstein's story is
that Israel, knowing of the sexual perversion of rife among
the American leadership class, set up Epstein to ensnare those

(24:46):
who could be blackmail to confirm American policies with Israel's interests.
How else do we explain the US spending the twenty
first century fighting wars for Israel, protecting and enabling israel
genocide of the Palestinians', passing laws that protect Israel from
protests and boycotts, and preventing Americans from stating the truth

(25:08):
about Israel. America has been an instrument of Israeli aggression.
Israel has so much blackmail power over the American ruling
class that the unitity of America is locked up in
his role as Israel's agents, Maga, donald Trump lie to you.
At the beginning of this column, I wrote to peace
and prosperity of America just might depend on Maga facing

(25:30):
the reality that Donald Trump has indeed lied to them.
I strongly believe that this statement is a factual reality.
Trump's inability to seriously study and concentrate, his inability to
reason negotiate, his inability to realize that he really doesn't
know everything about everything, and his inability to recognize a

(25:52):
very clear and present danger in which he is putting
America threat in America's very existent. Donald Trump is a reckless,
feckless egomaniac. We will be extremely fortunate if America is
not engulfed in a major financial collapse and embroiled in
a major nuclear conflict before the midterm elections next year.

(26:14):
The only hope is that Trump's Magabase will awaken to
his delirious deceptions. Is such force and with such fury
as to convince Donald Trump to return his campaign promises.
MAGA is the only entity that can accomplish this feat.
As long as MAGA covers for Trump, he will continue
his health to skelt the subordination to the neo coon

(26:36):
Zionist uniparty agenda that could very easily and very probably
lead to catastrophe. Face it, Donald Trump lied to you.
Interesting synopsis by Chuck Baldwin. This is why. One of
the reason why I read on this stuff from George Washington.

(26:56):
It is essential to know. That's why I was never
really lovely dove and it comes to government. In these
presidential elections, the only candidate president candidate I rallied around
was Congressman Ron Paul twice in two thousand and seven
and two thousand two. During this twenty eight twenty twelve campaign,
I was the only candidate why because he was a

(27:19):
man of principal, He was consistent at doing his job.
I did some articles to some story about Donald Trump
with connections with the rothschild. They cover his bankruptcy cases
and all that. There's a lot of big claims in
those areas always observed responsibly. And even when Donald Trump

(27:39):
he won the presidency the second time. There's even even
times of Israel had like posters and billboards all over
Tel Aviv about Donald Trump, the first Israeli the first
Israeli president. You know, so it's just rarely insane. Maybe
what happened when you have political idolatry and being a

(28:02):
faction saves of a sentinel. We're I was supposed to
trust the government is in the Americans DNA. I don't
care what your belief system is. Article two the US
Constitution is self explanatory. The executive have these certain numerated powers,
but we have all the dinkle berris for a very

(28:22):
long time and it caught on, made everything the biggest
government in US history and go way before Donald Trump
came in in twenty sixteen. This is why my friends,
I support the anti common during doctrine. The States can

(28:43):
tell him where to go, come to the executive wards
even the illegal laws and paring contracts that by the
US Constitution, the states can say no, we're not supporting
including the locals. Is why I tell people, decentralize yourselves
the centralized. Use it to any commandering doctrine, Think and

(29:04):
act locally, plan a seed, not a no tree, and
always observe responsibly. Well, I will be right back, so
stay tuned. All right, I'm back. And this one here

(29:34):
came from a substack called the unpopulous dot net. And
this one's entitled America needs a bold constitutional reconstruction agenda
to tame presidential powers. We'll see, We'll see how this
goes here. Let's just check this out. Going down, going down,

(29:57):
going down. So Trump's second term is not merely a
crisis leadership, policy, or ideology. It is a structural crisis,
one that exposes deep flaws in the constitual order itself.
For years, these flaws have been accumulating pressure, patched over
with short term fixes and in the tea of tradition.

(30:22):
Now the contradictions have grown too large. The system has
reached a breaking point. At his core, the America liberal
order has relied on oaths to uphold the constitution, to
preserve the rule of law, and to honor democratic norms.
These oaths are not just trivial ceremonies. The substantiative commitment
they signify is carried out in practice, in ways big

(30:45):
and small that build and maintain the whole edifice and
perfectly end with exceptions. Those who have taken that oath
have mostly met it and attempted to follow it. But
what happens when the system's most powerful office is occupied
by someone for whom the oath is meaningless? A presidency

(31:08):
built on hierarchical command and consolidate authority over the executive branch,
once intended to be checked by a web of institutional balances,
has instead become a tool for personalist rule and authoritarian ambition.
If American level democracy is to survive, it must do
more than whether Trump's second term in the constitutional omni

(31:31):
crisis has provoked. It must confront the structural defects that
may this collapse possible and correct them with the same
boat is that characterize past errors of the constitutional restruction,
including original drafting and ratification of our supreme law. The
land Constitution must be saved from itself as it was

(31:52):
intended to be. Well, just to be very frank, it's
been going on for a very long time, so I'm
just think, oh, when Trump came in, and like I said,
I'm critical of the man myself. But it's a status
quo tradition which everyone became apathetic, including people on Congress.
Or it's just something new. We'll study started some history here,

(32:14):
ball continue on. I'll be fair turnkey tyranny. The US
president is glaring is a glaring outlier in global democracy.
It's immerged concentration of executive power creates a brutal system
where democratic legitimacy hinges on the character of one individual.
When that individual rejects the very premise of accountability that

(32:37):
owes to the constitution, the system offers few effective remedies.
Impeachment design as the ultimate check on presidential misconduct has
failed in practice. Parson loyalties overcome constitutional obligations, random process,
politically toxic, and practicably impossible. Good point. A more glare

(33:00):
demonstration cannot be imagined that Trump's acquittal in the second
empeachment trial, but the fifty seventy seven is voting to
convict but still short of two thirds needed. Ban on
insurrections holding public office carefully and deliberately craft in the
Fourteenth Amendment has likewise proven unworkable, mank courts and the
political institutions lack the will to enforce it. Well, to

(33:21):
be very honest on that and that paragraph that that statement,
the impeachment were done by bill of attainer, totally unconstitutional.
And two it was not an insurrectional on January sixth,
it was done by design, just like the George Floyd
writes or their higher guns are doing the job and

(33:46):
proved to me there was any insurrection, charges against anyone
convicted of it, and so far I may see anyone,
but if people showed me on his face, I would
deeply appreciate, really appreciate it. So I'll continue on the
issue is not just Trump, but the structural incentives that
allow and even encourage figures like him to rise. And

(34:09):
presidency blends the roles of head of state and head
of government, grants and aura of legitimacy and dominance that
parliamentary and collegial executive systems diffused among multiple forces. This
makes an executive branch inherently prone to democrat demagogwery, populism,
and personalist rule. The concern did not go unnoticed as

(34:30):
the Constitutions Convention Edmond Randolph objected that the proposed presidency
would be a foldus of my monarchy. Charles Pinckney feared
and overpowered chief executive would become a monarchy of the
worst kind, to wit an elected one. Benjamin Franklin ergs
the assembled to delegates to carefully consider the issue a

(34:51):
great a point of great importance. But these these concerns
did not care. The day, perhaps colored by how delegates
they under the gaze of George Washington, presiding over the convention,
understood by all be the first in line to the
head of new government. It might have been the most
consequently decision the Convention made, and the test of time

(35:14):
has proven to be a grave miscalculation. To address this,
law reforms must decentralize power within the executive branch and
returned partisan policy making are into Congress where it belonged.
A Westminister style parliamentary system has its own drawbacks and
would be two forms of the American tradition, but less
radical reforms could still check the chief executive while preserving

(35:38):
our historical attachment to the job title. To ensure that
our ahead of state is not practically exempt from but
subject to the law, powers must be arranged that the
law can actually be enforced on our highest office. The
lawless notion that presence enjoy near absolute immunity from criminal
prosecution must be repudiated eventually by Constitution amendment if need be.

(36:01):
Impeachment should be made a more effective threat, perhaps by
lowering the two thirds s threasholder required for the conviction
in the Senate, though not necessarily to a mere simple majority. Well,
when you have partisan politics, it's becomes a burden. George
Washington Warnerson's a fairable address, but I'll continue on. Officers

(36:24):
impeached by the House can also can also be could
also be suspended from office, paying on the outcome of
the trial, as we've seen recent recently used to good
effects in South Korea and within the executive branch. Key
officials should have not just not just theoretically the theoretical duty,

(36:44):
but the practical ability to refuse unlawful presidential orders to
at least tap the brakes until other institutions, such as courts,
can weigh in correcting the court at the core of
a constitution's consecutions crisis or structural miss ali alignment is
a cashpraphic decline the Supreme Court with lifetime tending and
appointments tied to the happenstance, timing of deaths, and the

(37:09):
partisan gaming a strategically timed retirement. The Court has become
unbound from this inattended democratic accountability. Judiciary serves as an
independent check on the other two branches, and the American
model of strong judicial review has accomplished great things, but
the Court is still often been supposed to be a
lagging indicator of election results over time for president and Senate.

(37:33):
This careful balancing act of judicial independence and democratic accountability
has been failing to work as intended, and there are
good reasons to want to reform if you prefer a
more conservative and originalist court, as the status quode erodes
the quality of Court's output and fuels a crisis of
legitimacy which is careening toward a breaking point. The fix

(37:57):
is needed is a simple one. A broad support ditch
life tenure for a lengthy fixed term with seats coming
up to unpredictable known schedule. If its appointments to the
nine member court were distributed evenly across presidential terms, say
two per term each with Justice serving eighteen years, and

(38:18):
the court starts of Trump's second term would have sixty
three Democratic appointed majority, reflect that Democrats have won three
of the five presidential elections from two thousand and four
in twenty twenty. All you gotta do is read the
US Constitution's Article three, but no one has been enforcing that.
I'll continue one of the of these, one of each

(38:42):
party's president have been appointed while the other party held
a Senate assuming won justice appointed before and after the
midterms once common a justice has not been nominated and
confirmed under such divine control in more than thirty years.
With seats coming open on a regular schedule, there will
be less incentive for partisan obstruction and deadlock over any

(39:05):
one nominee. The incentives changed with both when both parties
know the shoe will be on the other foot soon enough.
By the end of his second term, Trump will have
replaced one bush of win Obama appoint resulted in the
five to four balance, in line with the fact that
Democrats have won three of the preceding five elections from

(39:25):
two thousand and eight to two twenty twenty four. Under
the staggered appointment schedule, no president would appoint more than
four justices, except in the usual unusual case of a
two term president feeling a premature vacancy, who would only
hold the seat for the unexpired remainder of that justice's term. Instead,

(39:47):
it's like, it's quite likely, like an outright majority of
the court will soon be Trump's appointees for a very
long time. Any two of Alito, Thomas or Robbers step
aside or pass away in the next four years. Lifetime
tenues also produce justices who cling to their seats far
into the infirmities of old age Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

(40:10):
William Wenchrist until antonin Stalia. The result is a deeply morbid,
an unhealthy death watch, as the balance of the court
hinges on the system of the health of Fadingtagerians. Excuse me.
A fixed term of eighteen years would instead enable appointment

(40:30):
of justice in the forty forties and fifties would serve
until they're late sixties or seventies. It would be head
off the threat of the court packing by permanently fixing
the number of justices at nine. It would avoid the
unseeingly open partnership of justices timing their retirements according to

(40:52):
which product controls the White House and Senate feeling the
perception that there are a little more than politicians in
rogues and what it cut short to the trend of
appointing younger and less qualified justice just to hold a
seat for longer instead of making the job morelike what
it should be. The cumulation of accomplished career as a

(41:14):
jurist and legal scholar. As it stands, strategic retirements and
random vacancies have allowed the Court to tilt sharply to
the right don't matter left. The rights don't matter right
effect would be locking in that supermajority regards of long
term election results, even for those who tend a degree
more with the current court rulings. The resulting crisis of

(41:36):
legitimacy threatens the viability of the judicial reason view itself,
and random chance could just easily tilt the all the
way someday with Democrats coming to enjoy a self enrnging
majority and trench excuse me. Court reform and his vein
and his vein need not to be a Parson issue

(41:57):
has attracted support for experts across the autological spectrum. Is also,
unlike talk of court packing, popular with the voters. This
connection between the court's composition and its attended. Indirect accountability
to election results is not sustainable. The court legitimacy depends
on its ability to serve as a stabilizing force, not

(42:19):
an arbitrary advantage for one part over the other. If
many eight eighteen year limits for justices with regularly stagger
appointments will to restore fairness while preserving judicial independence is
necessary to align court more closely with long term will
the people in order to maintain its proper role as

(42:39):
a check against short term political pressures. It's just in there.
My biggest concern is even local state's level, they all
go to the Supreme Court. They will take local affairs
on a federal court level. It's getting so ridiculous. Federal
court for everything. It should all be. People need to

(43:02):
go through more of the remedies. Okay, you can have
the states. You can take it to a state, local
stuff to the state level. Okay, he shouldn't be always
go to the federal federal case only if necessary, But
everyone wants to go on that high horse, go from
the local affair to a federal affair federal court. And
it's getting a little bit ludicrous as far as I'm concerned.

(43:25):
So yeah, I understand. I am not understand his views
on this. I'm not disrespecting the author at all. But
the whole thing is when you got people in Congress
who are lack of days ago, are not challenging. They
all want to say, oh yeah, they're on my team,
faction become fashion slaves, not represented the people. And when

(43:45):
you talk about the Republican form of government, the president's
power is president has been elected elected ambassador from the
from the states. The Senate pus to represent their states
in the House posts will represent their people. But nineteen thirteen, god,
things got more centralized with the Senate Bill and all
the Senate law. It was totally ridiculous. There should be

(44:08):
a state issue. So the problem is there's too much
federal encroachment. And a good example is read the Fellows Papers.
Papers forty is fixed by James Madison. It's good reads.
I have to check it out. I'll continue on here.
Our unrepresented democracy, the structural problems extending being a pressite
in the courts. Congress is the opposed epic center of

(44:31):
representative democracy has advodicated its charge to check the other
two branches. This has the roots in systemic incentives of
our electoral system single member districts for the past, the
post voting created system with two major parties dominated, leaving
no room for more fluid competition or coalition building. The

(44:54):
party's primary system run by the government for the benefit
of unsustainably private private local parties, ensure that most races
are decided not by general election voters but by a
small fraction of parisans who turn out in primaries and
has to get a has a good point on this.
You had a very good point their private political private
partner partner, private parties, private institutions. Though we uh we

(45:20):
take it for granted. A government run primary election for
party members that picked their nominees are an American aberration,
almost unheard of in other democracies. Intended as a democrat
democracy democratizing reform during the Progressive era, primary elections were
supposed to break open the corrupt, smoke filled rooms of
party insiders, but they have backfired severely undermined democracy by

(45:43):
supercharging and power of the unrepresented subset of the electric electorate. Well, remember,
we're actual republic, so now a democracy wey'll continue on.
At the same time, government administer primaries to produce America's
uniquely absolute two parties only system by lowering the costs

(46:06):
of intra party competition relative to the inter party competition.
In other words, it becomes irrational for serious politicians to
launch their own comparitive party rather than compete in the primaries.
The end result is a number of seriously contested primaries
for our outstrip the number of seriously contested general elections.

(46:29):
This is why other nations which use the first past
the post electoral system with this diverber laws tendencies towards
two dominant parties still see smaller parties wins some legsday
of seats, but we do not. The system must be overhauled.
Proposal representation, ranked choice voting, increase the size of the house,

(46:51):
fusion voting, and non partisan primaries all offer ways to
open the political arena to new voices, that puts some
play in the joints on the three party system, and
restore our general representation of the broader electorate. Any of
these ideas can be debated, but they all share the
same broad go An experimentation at the state and local

(47:14):
level is worthwhile. Here is where our federalist laboratories of
democracy can shine, providing important lessons and potential models to
follow nationwide. While misfire attempts can be discarded. Election reform
is not a French issue. It's a foundation for rebuilding
democratic legitimacy and responsiveness. Some reform can be achieved by

(47:37):
statue without the need for constitutional amendment. Others can be
enacted by simply giving states freedoms to experiments serving as
laboratories of democracy and search for better systems of representation. Hey,
it's called the tenth Amendment. Nothing new under the sign decentralized.
So as a give or take right, I'll continue on.

(47:58):
Under the status quo, tens of millions of voters are
left without a seat at the table, without a representative
voter for rule, Democrats or Republicans, independence locked out of
the primaries. These voters are in large part represented in
the missing middle of politics, a grit diversity of opinion
tendency towards moderation than is reflected in our homage designed polarized.

(48:20):
The lesson results. John Adams observed that the purpose of
a representative legislator is to be a miniature and exact
portrait of the people at large. It should think, feel real,
and act like them. A few could look at Congress
today and say fish that description. I always say they

(48:41):
can act locally. Smaller federal government too much, it's too
much bureaucratic red tape a new constitutional reconstruction. As the
need for a constitutional reform more urgent, so to the
temptation to use the movement as a vehicle for enshrining
partisan policy. Preferences proposed to radically reshape a positive by
constitutional amendments abound on both left and both left and right,

(49:05):
from universal healthcare to flag beuring amendments. But while these
ideas may energize activists, most are unlikely to ever gain
the bipart of supermajority required for constitutional amendments. Worse, a
risk turning structural reform into just another front in the
cultural wars on the mind that brought legitimacy in any

(49:26):
new constitutional settlement must command. If amendment efforts evolved in
partisan wish lists, they will fail. Constitutional reform requires brought legitimacy,
not narrow victories. The challenges to distinguish between the Thomas
principles that the Constitution mustn't trying and the temporary prefaces
that belong in ordinary politics and legislations. The flaws in

(49:48):
the American constitutional order are not new, but Trump's second
term is forced ereconing with them. Just as the Civil
War and reconstruction amendments address the systemic failures of the
seventeen eighty seven Constitution, so must this generation confront the
contradictions exposed by modern crisis. Well that's in my view.

(50:10):
We can to understand the pros and cons but my opinion.
But my opinion, the war, the whole called Civil War
was done illegally under Lincoln's reign, the great centralizer, and
of course the fourteenth A member is very controversial and
and more centralizing began. So that's how I look at
based on my homework. Well, I'll continue on doing so

(50:33):
will not be a rejection of the constitutional principles, but
embrace in them, including the original intent of Article five
amendment procedures. The framers expect us to amend the Constitution
much more often than we have, so they weren't unaware
of how difficult the majority requirements would be, but they
believe we would meet that threshold through our ability to

(50:54):
form to fit sufficient concessions on needed changes. It's by Andy,
a program of serious to constitutional reform does not mean
discarding the Madistonian principles of chuckst and balances federalism and
limited government. Rather, it means applying those principles to contemporary

(51:14):
challenges with the same boldness the framers themselves showed and
were shown again by the authors of the Reconstruction Amendments.
That's eighteen seventy one, and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Very a lot of interesting stuff happened on that time,
So on the Reconstruction Amendments.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Because mostly, as they say, means done by force. But
I digress. It means reform and presidy to prevent authoritarism
drifts and the democratic backslidings, Modernized the Supreme Court to
reflect a better bounds of independence and accountability, and rebuilding
Congress to meet be more truly representative of the American people.
It means embracing the radical vision of reform rooted in

(51:53):
liberal principles freedom, equality, and the rule of law, while
acknowledging that some outdated structures no longer serve those ends.
Saving the Constitution from himself is not a rejection of
his values, is an affirmation on them. Is an acknowledgement that,
as Lincoln said, the dogmas of the quiet past are
inadequate to the storm a present. Oh good, I'm sorry. Ah,

(52:17):
you know I'm not gonna you know, I'm not gonna
knock him on this, but I'm gonna continue on here
the work of bilding and more perfect union than and
in seventeen eighty seven or in eighteen sixty eight. It
must continue today if you're able to secure the blessings
delibery to ourselves and our posterity with the Constitution for
future generations. Thanks for retting on, Populist. Subscribe to support

(52:39):
for free to support our project. Nothing's going to be perfect,
I can tell you that. But the biggest mistake has
been going on more centralized government, more federal federal growth
became very cancerous. Then a game gotta be perfect, Absolutely not.
This is why I always believe in think and act locally.
Each state, each community is different. There's no such thing

(53:03):
as a one size fit all package. I'd be very fair.
And many people want universal healthcare. How mu's gonna cost us?
It's like the military industrial complex. Too much big money spending,
central banking system is illegal, that needs to be abolished.
You're only an Article five, okay, Constitution Convention. We have

(53:26):
the tenth Amendment. What's been going on right now? More
states have been doing they even using gold and silver
as financial transactions and renouncing and saying no central banking
digital currency in their state. So the way they're doing things,
tenth Amendment is very essential. Any commandeering doctrine is affective,

(53:52):
and even many people warn what Gwards Washington has to say.
But in his farewell address, but this is some things
George Washington talked about. But government must have both power
and restraints. No man is a warmer, advocate for proper

(54:12):
restraints and holds some checks in every department of government
that I am. But I have never yet been able
to discover the property of placing it absolutely out of
the power of men to render essential services, because the
possibility remains of doing ill. That's to Burchard Okay, shared
Washington principles, governments, principles of good as. On one side,

(54:37):
no local prejudices or attachments, no separate views nor party
party animosities will misdirect the comprehensive equal eye which ought
to watch over this great assemblage of communities and interests.
So on another, the foundations of our national policy will
be laid in pure and immutable principles of private morales

(55:00):
and the prementions of a free government be exemplified by
all the attributes which can win the affection of assistance
and command respect of the world. That's his first inaugural
address in seventeen eighty nine. Now we'll do one more here.
America must prevent oppression. Government being, among other purposes, instituted

(55:23):
to protect the persons and consciousness of men from oppression.
Is certainly the duty of rule. Is not the only
abstain from it themselves, but according to their stations, to
prevent it in others, to religious society called Quakers, sparks.
It has we wrote it to in seventeen eighty nine.

(55:43):
So we've been warned about this a long time ago.
And mister Craig, that is right, Andy Craig. Let me
see here, I always forget these people's names. Sorry about that.
I'm like, I'm a little hired that's been working a lot,
not making excuses, but I need to share his folks

(56:06):
with you. But well, one thing about saying what about
this article? Yeah, I I give him pro putting putting
input in have his input. At least he is saying partisans,
parsons are very dangerous, but we do need to downside
of the federal government a lot smaller. The guy get
out of these, get get get gal these avoid all

(56:27):
foreign powers and influences, including lobbyist groups like a pac
and doesn't matter where they come from. That guy that
needs to be terminated and and stop all foreign ad
and all foreign aid. That's good. That's been a big
issue for a long time. And remember Congress does have
the power of the purse the House. Andy Craig wrote this,

(56:48):
so out of fairness, Yeah, there's something that may disagree with,
but I respect his input on here. I can't get
mad because hey, he has some ideas, may plant siege people,
may utilize it on a different position, different package. So yes,
we need to always keep them in check, be vigilant,

(57:08):
and don't let don't be a yes person to this
particular institution. As I said before, if you trust the government,
you failed history. And even if say as un American
to either trust the trusting the government or a politician
