Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Power Hour has been in existence since the turn
of the twenty first century. The need for independent media
is more critical than ever as people search for the truth.
For the past twenty years, the Power Hour has focused
on subjects which inform and educate about the real challenges
we face as a nation. Join us as we discuss
(00:23):
the Constitution, current events, and natural health solutions with the
best experts on radio. Learn from some of the most
insightful commentators you'll find and talk radio.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
This is like my second day of row here and
I appreciate you listeners. My name, excuse me, let me
grabble the water. Here, here we go. I have been
in AM radio. I'm an AM radio veteran. I've been
in AM radio since two th eleven. I have my
own radio programs on AM fourteen ninety k m e
(01:05):
T in the Riverside County market there in southern California
on Saturdays from one to three Pacific. You go to
km MET fourteen ninety am dot com to catch that
show live. Be warned this Saturday will be the last
show for a while, or being preempted by football for
the next three weeks after that, and then I am
(01:25):
in the San Diego market on some Salem Media stations
kPr Z and KCBQ, both in the San Diego market.
KCBQ airs my program at Saturday on Saturdays at eight
pm Pacific, kp r Z at nine pm Pacific kPr
Z dot com, or you can find KCBQ at the
(01:48):
Answer San Diego. And so it's a pleasure to be here.
My website Douglas V. Gibbs dot com. I'm known online
as mister Constitution. So it's funnycause an in the in
the beginning in the intro of this program today, as
if you were listening, it says the Constitution is one
of the things we talked about. I am the pre
(02:09):
eminent expert on the Constitution and have been for a
very long time. If you have anything, I'm the Constitution.
I'm the guy to ask. If you want to ask
triple eight four two nine five four seven one, triple
eight four two nine five four seven to one or
three two three seven, four four four eight four one.
(02:30):
That's the direct line. Three two three seven four four
four eight four one three two three seven four four
four eight four one. Colors are always welcome. So I'm watching,
I watch what's going on in the world a lot.
This election is interesting, isn't it. And you know, I'm
looking at the different positions that these different candidates claim
(02:56):
to have, and I found it fascinating because so ultimately
it comes down to what does the Constitution say. I
give you an example, the abortion issue, and Kamala Harris
says that she supports quote unquote abortion rights and reportedly
making reproductive health care central to her presidential campaign. She
(03:18):
believes that it should be available up to the full
full term and that the federal government should add that Congress.
One of the first things she will do is try
to get Congress to push legislation, pass legislation to codify
Roe v. Wade now that the Supreme Court kind of
killed it with their Dobbs v. Jackson ruling in twenty
(03:39):
twenty one. Meanwhile, Donald Trump says that the issue belongs
to the states. That Dobbs v. Jackson invalidated Roe v. Wade,
and he agrees with that, and it's up to each
state what they decide, what they decide to do. It's
none of the federal governments. Now we have a court
(04:01):
system right now, it's been striking down these laws that
some of these states these conservative states are passing the
limit or restrict abortion. And if he's saying it's up
to the states, then why are those courts doing that?
Why is the why are the lower courts hitting state
(04:23):
laws regarding an abortion when Dobbs v. Jackson ruling Supreme
Court higher court right, So the lower courts are supposed
to abide by what the higher court says, and they're
still they say, well, wait a second, it's up to
the states. It's none of his business. So if you
read the United States Constitution, here's one of the things
(04:45):
that you find about that document. In that document, it
has what's called an enumeration doctrine. The enumeration doctrine basically
means that order for the federal government to have an authority,
it needs to be expressly enumerated or listed in the Constitution.
(05:09):
If it's not expressly listed in the Constitution, then they
don't have the authority. So then we have to look, Okay, well,
is abortion, medical procedures, medical care, healthcare, any of that
in the Constitution. No, it is not so, well, Doug,
it's a right. In ninth Amendment says if a right's
(05:30):
not listed, it's still a right. The federal government's job
is to guarantee and protect those rights. That's not what
it says. That's not what rights are your rights When
it comes to the First Amendment, for example, he doesn't
say in the First Amendment, there's five rights, by the way,
listed there. Right, you got your religious freedom. It's freedom
(05:53):
of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, freedom to
petition the government for redress grievances. Life rights are listed
in the First Amendment. It doesn't say Congress or the
federal government shall guarantee and protect those rights. What does
this say? Look it up, Go ahead, I'll wait for
a second. Pull out your pocket Constitution, open it up,
(06:15):
the First Amendment, and read what it says. So right
there at the very beginning, Congress shall make no law.
Congress shall make no law. It doesn't say protect, it
doesn't say preserve. It doesn't say to guarantee. Government can't
guarantee anything. Congress shall make no law. Your rights, and
(06:42):
we go back to the Declaration of Independence. I talked
about this a little bit yesterday. Life liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. Pursuit of happiness, you have a right
to be happy. You have a right to pursue it.
Don't have a right to health procedures, you have a
right to pursue them. So in question is does government
have the authority to dictate that everybody must have available
(07:06):
to them the ability to kill their unborn child. Abortion
is not listed, and it says that your rights historically
your rights, and when you come to reading James Madison,
Thomas Jefferson, all those guys around there as your rights
or something that you possess, they belong to you. God
(07:27):
gave them to you. So if you have God given rights,
first of all, in order for a right to be
a right, God would need to sanction it. It's God
given right. So we have to ask our question, would
God sanction abortion? So while Doug guy, you're getting religious,
(07:49):
we don't need a religion in politics. Well, religion is
foundation of where our moral standards come from. We don't
just suddenly decide, hey, I think this is right, this
is wrong. Our idea of right and wrong. Our moral
standards come from some type of religious belief, be it
whatever you are. So religion, your faith God plays a
(08:13):
part in the legal aspects of our system. And ultimately
it comes down to this, is it right to kill
another human beings. There's the other thing about rights. Not
only are your right something to be pursuit, not guaranteed
or or get guaranteed or saved, preserved protected by the
(08:36):
federal government. There are something that you pursue and they're
just supposed to get out of the way. Congress shall
make no law, shall not be infringed, shall not be violated.
In the Fourth Amendment. This is not language telling government
to preserve, protect, and guarantee. It's language telling government hands
off none of your business. And so it blocks to the
(08:58):
states because the Tenth Amendments is what In the tenth
Amendment it says that if a right, I'm sorry for
a power is not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, those
powers are reserved in the States respectively, or to the people.
So it goes back to the states. But now getting
(09:21):
back to rights in general and abortion and all this
other stuff. So, right, your rights in general, because they
come from God, they are your possession right. And I said,
well I don't believe in God, Well, all right, fine,
divine dispensation, you naturally have them, natural rights, natural order
of things, whatever. But it comes down to a moral standard,
and our rights have to do with that moral standard
(09:44):
if there are If there is no moral standard, there
are no rights because rights are based on a moral
natural order of things. And even if you don't, even
if you remove morality, the natural vote of things is
going to be there. And what the natural order of
things is is that's that. That is what we like
(10:06):
to call anyway, the law, the rule of law. And
when you have the rule of law in place natural
order of things right. That goes back to the Declaration
of independence. Truth self evident. These truths are self evident.
We know these things to be true. We have a
moral standard, we know the natural order of things. Therefore,
(10:28):
these truths we know them. They're self evident. We know
what the truth is. So we have a party out
there and an ideology. And I don't even want to
say party, because both parties feed from the same truth.
But we have an idea out there that opposes the Constitution.
If they're opposing what the Constitution is about, then they're
(10:49):
opposing the natural order of things and the moral standard.
That's the reason why they support things like defunding the police.
That's why they support things like abortion. But getting back
to know what I was gonna say earlier about our rights.
Our rights also have a second part of them, and
that is one right cannot interfere with another right. I
(11:12):
have the right to swing my arms. You have a
right not to be punched in the face. I swing
marms all I want. But if I am a threat
to you or punch you in the face with my
swing in my arms, that right stops being a right.
That's why I was supposed to be responsible with the rights.
I have the right to go through an intersection, but
my right to go through that intersection stops at the
(11:33):
next at the edge of the next guy's bumper, because
he has the right to go through the intersection as well.
My right stops when it interferes with his right. I
still get my right, but it has to operate in
an orderly fashion or in a way where it doesn't
interfere with someone else's rights. And if just carrying out
my right is always going to interfere with somebody else's
(11:55):
right on something, then it's not a right. So now
we get back to abortion again. So the question is
is that baby in that womb a person? If that
baby in that womb is a person. In the Fourteenth
Amendment and the Fifth Amendment both apply and what it
(12:18):
says in those parts of the Constitution. Once again, I'm
going to read exact language because I think this is important.
In fourteenth Amendment, no States should shall deprive any person
of life, liberty, property without due process A law says
the same thing in the Fifth Amendment for the federal government.
(12:39):
So question is is that person. If that is a person,
they cannot be deprived of their life without due process
a law. The right to abord is interfering with the
right of life of that other person. Therefore, abortion is
not a right. Well, Doug, that's not really a person
in that woman. That's a lab of go or whatever
(13:02):
they say. It is do zeygo. If you want to
get into the scientific terms, they won't say baby. It's
funny because last whenever you see a pregnant woman, you
walk up to her and say, hey, so, when does
(13:22):
your fetus do? No, what do we say, Oh, when
does your baby do? Do you know the sex of
your baby? How long have you been pregnant with that baby?
That's the term we use because we know instinctively that's
a baby, that's a human being. Truth self evident. Now
(13:47):
the one that really interests me though especially even more
so than that issue when it comes to the Kamala
Harris campaign and the I get I I don't really
know how to say this. The Democrat Party's consumer protection policies.
(14:07):
I guess that's the right way to say it. Well,
it's all about consumer protection, doug. We've got to protect
consumers from those you know, bad corporations and all of that. Well,
and on April tenth, twenty twenty, Kamala Harris and Senator
Elizabeth Warren introduced the Price Gouging Prevention Act. It was
(14:31):
a bill that would empower the Federal Trade Commission to
enforce a ban on excessive price increases of consumer goods
and national emergencies amid national emergencies, and specifically consider any
price increase above ten percent to be price gouging during
such a declaration. During the same month, Harris and Senator
(14:55):
Shared Brown and Representatives Ayana Presley and Gregory Meeks the
Small Business the Small Business Administration, and Treasury Department a
letter requesting that the agency's move to ensure minority owned
businesses remain under the Paycheck Protection Program, calling for the
Trump administration to revise guidance on a program to reaffirm
(15:18):
the leading US that leading in lending institutions comply with
fair lending laws and mandate that they report demographics of
program lending. So the two things that are here is
a government should dictate to you your prices if your business.
And we heard it on the campaign trail, right too, right,
she calls it Christ's gouging, you know, the grocery stores. Well,
(15:41):
when we talk about the economy, and rather than take
blame for being a part of the administration that has
inflation going through the roof, Kamala Harris has said, well,
it's the businesses they're gouging prices. I think the uh,
the marge profit margin for grocery stores, it's something like
(16:03):
one point four percent, not a big profit margin. If
they're gouging that, that would be that that would be
an incredibly small profit margin. Otherwise you're not in business
to go broke your business to make money. To see,
she's against businesses making money. So she said on the
(16:23):
campaign trail, the same thing that is in that bill
that her and Elizabeth Warren pushed on April tenth, twenty twenty,
we're gonna stop price gouging. That's how we're gonna take
care of inflation. We're gonna force businesses to lower the prices.
This is, prices are higher not because their price is galaging,
but because of the cost of doing business. That's how
(16:44):
the free market works. When the cost of going doing
business goes up, the prices go up. Same thing with
the taxation. Oh we're gonna tax the rich, and we're
gonna tax corporations or a tax anybody it makes more
than four hundred thousand dollars a year. So in other words,
you go tax all these businesses because also you want
the coropor taxi go up, you know, to make them
(17:05):
pay their fair share. They don't pay taxes. It is
a cost of doing business. Just like the cost of
gas increases the transportation cost of the goods, just like
the regulatory red tape increases the cost of doing business.
All of these things that government does to interfere with
(17:28):
the market increases the cost and then her solution for
higher cost because of largely government interference. Don't get me wrong.
The market has its ups and downs, a supply and demand.
If you understand economics, you get the roller coaster right
of prices and how they go up and down over time.
(17:51):
But when it comes to the actual crisis in a
free market, it's cost of doing business that is the
primary factor here. Big business doesn't pay taxes. You do
because the tax is a cost of doing business that
is put into the price. They don't pay higher transportation costs.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You do.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
When the transportation cost goes up because of higher wages
or fuel prices going up, or whatever. It's put in
the price, you pay it. This is all about cost
of doing business. If you put price controls in a
place a it's not in the constitution. There's no authority
(18:39):
for the federal government, no cost authority anywhere listened in
the constitution allowing the federal government to go after these
businesses for price gouging. But also it hurts the free market.
The way government's supposed to operate is the way constitution says,
none of your business, stay out of it. No authority.
(19:02):
Oh well, Doug, Well then you're saying this business can
just run rampant and do whatever they want. How how
the consumers will stop buying products of problematic producers? First
of all. Second of all, if a state wants to
have certain regulatory things inside their state. They can, of course,
what that'll do. If it gets ridiculous, there's those businesses
(19:24):
start leaf leaving that state. Just ask California. That's how
it's supposed to work. That's how it's supposed to function.
Then there's tariffs. This is one of my favorites because
you don't remember Kamala Harris's primary Kamala Harris's primary presidential
(19:46):
scream is not that she wants to be a good president,
she wants to do this for you or that for you,
or any of that. It's Trump is a bad guy.
It's Trump's fault that everything's been going bad for the
last three and a half years, even though it's been
her and Biden an office. Trump's a fascists, Trump's this,
Trump's ad or whatever. And one of the things that
(20:08):
she's been attacking is tariffs, the tariffs imposed by the
Trump administration. She has spoken against those tariffs over and
over and over and has blamed them as being a
part of the cause of inflation. Here's what tariffs do. Tariffs.
(20:34):
First of all, before we had an income tax in
nineteen thirteen with the sixteenth Amendment, one of the main
not the entire but one of the main income mechanisms
for the federal government was terriffs. The states also paid
an income tax and then they you know, from taxes
(20:55):
they got from the people, so you still paid incump tax,
but it was an indirect income tax to your state.
And when the federal GONA says, hey, you know, state,
you are nineteen percent of population or five percent of population,
so you're you're due to pay five percent of budget.
And then the state would look at the budget say
not not paying that because of this, this and this
is unconstitutional. Try again and we might give you the money.
(21:16):
That's the way it went. And then the other, like
I said, was terriffts. Tariffs are a wonderful thing when
used in moderation or properly. Obviously, if it's just like
with anything, eat too much junk food, you're gonna be unhealthy.
If the tariffs are too exceedingly great, then the then
(21:39):
the whole trade situation is canna be unhealthy. But when
you put tariffs on a on a competitor, a foreign competitor,
and it's costing a little bit more for your American
producers to compete, what does that do? It levels a
playing field so that the American producers compete and compete.
(22:00):
You don't have China bring in all these cheap products
and screwing the American producer because they're not paying the
wages of children that the China, Chinese or Indians are
in India or wherever these products come from a Vietnam
or whatever the lower wages or whatever it is, and
they're able to compete. And it brings manufacturing back to
(22:22):
the United States also because if you're a manufacturer, you're
gonna want to bring your business here to avoid the terror.
When we come back more on this go anywhere.

(29:07):
you really want to get if you want to know
the difference between a democracy and a republic. Repeal democracy.
All right, so let's get back to what I was
talking about, talking about the policies of the unconstitutional folks,
the folks that despise the Constitution considered an antiquated document,
that liberty is something that you shouldn't have, that the
(29:29):
best solution your problems is more government. And I've been
going so over some of the policies that Kamala Harris
and her campaign have been talking about, and one of
them that's interesting is her small business. Why have four
small business I'm going to help small business. And what
they do, first of all is there has to be
an enemy. So if you want to help small business,
(29:50):
that means a bigger business as an enemy. So we're
going to help small business, and then we're going to
try to hit big business as much as we can
with all kinds of taxes you want to pay for.
So you you know what you know taken for Peter
to give the Paul kind of thing, right, and you
know they think they're, you know, like a Robin Hood,
except for even Robin Hood wasn't the Robin Hood we
think he was. He was actually taking from government ridiculousness
(30:12):
and giving it back to the people if you really
look at what Robin Hood was all about. But she
thinks it's you know, rob from the rich and give
to the poor and a small business being the smaller.
And so what they're going to do is they want
to And this goes all the way back to May
of twenty twenty when Kamaha Harrison Ayana Presley introduced a
Saving Our Street Act, which would allocate grants up to
(30:36):
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to businesses with fewer
than ten employees to provide a relief to micro businesses. Now,
for those of you who have dealt with government, if
government gives you money, be it welfare or a check
or a grant or relief under a bill like that,
(31:05):
what does government do? Oh, we gave you money. Now
we're going to dictate to you how to spend it.
Now we are your partner. This is an attempt a
to control business B. What it does also is it
drives up. It makes it harder, should I say, for
other businesses to compete, because now the plane fill has
(31:28):
been unevened. And then the idea is, well, then you
tax the higher businesses, the corporations. And this is called
a progressive tax rate. When you first of all, it
violates the Constitution all kinds of ways if you go
into article on section eight any taxes, excises, duties and
(31:50):
imposts and all that, if you read the constitution or
to be uniform. First of all, same across the board.
But what we have in America's progressive tax rate. The
more you make, the higher percentage you pay. And if
you're a big business you should pay more too, according
to the people like Kamala and they do you know
(32:11):
where you could find the progressive tax rate. It's in
the communist manifesto. It is a communist policy to tax
in that man in a progressive manner like that. And
when it comes to taxes, and she says, well, you know,
(32:33):
Trump is only there for the rich. He'say, you have
tax breaks the rich, and you know, tax the middle class.
That's not what happened. That's not his record. His record
was tax cuts across the board. But see, they weren't
happy with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of twenty
seventeen because Trump and Congress and the Republicans would not
repeal the tax cuts for wealthy Americans. In twenty eighteen,
(32:59):
Kamala posed tax cut for middle class Americans, which she
claims that's what she's looking for, but she would not
allow any tax cuts for anybody wealthy. She would repeal
all of their tax cuts. Increase taxes on corporations. Well,
(33:20):
it goes back to somethingst ten yearlier. When it comes
to corporations, Well, we're gonna hit those corporations with high taxes.
It's a cost of doing business. They're not gonna pay
that tax. The average American is in the prices inflation.
Oh well we'll stop them with price you know, not
allow them to price gouge. So the way to fix
the problem created by government is to use government to
force them not to raise their prices. You're gonna have
(33:40):
corporations going out of business. If you can't make a profit,
you're done, You're gone. That is what her policies will do.
That is what come on. And you know, she was
in a town hall earlier this week and Wednesday night
(34:02):
in front of undecided voters in Aston, Pennsylvania near Philadelphia,
and a number of issues is talked about, LGBTQ plus.
My first response is, why is government even involved in that?
For example, game marriage. Let's just use this for example
for a second. Why are churches being told they have
to give those ceremonies. It's a free system. It's a
(34:25):
free market. It's a you know, system of liberty. That's
their decision. Let the church decide whether or not they
will perform those types of ceremonies, and then they will
reap the benefits or the consequences with the number of
people remain or come to their or leave their congregation.
(34:47):
That's how it works. So and that's a free market.
So why has government even involved? Well, Doug, oh, don't
you think we ought to ban gay marriage?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I mean I don't agree with that particular agenda. I
don't believe that it's from a moral standport a standpoint,
a good thing, but I don't think it's any government's business.
It's like I was talking about yesterday on the Power
Hour when it came to the baking the cake thing,
(35:21):
and the gay couple went to a Christian baker, said
we want you to bake a cake, and we want
two men on the top of that wedding cake. And
the baker said, we don't make those cakes, we don't
offer that product. So they sued them, saying that they
were interfering with their right to have their cake. What
I said earlier about the pursuit of your rights, pursue
(35:46):
your right to have your cake baked somewhere else, because
they have a right not to make it. Your right
can interfere with their right if they religiously say we
don't offer that product. Could you imagine going to a
pie company who makes pies and saying, I'd like to
(36:06):
buy a pair of shoes, Well, we don't offer that
product while we make his pies. Oh so you're discriminating
against my feet. I'm going to assume you for not
making shoes and selling them to me. That's ridiculous. They
don't offer the product. The Christian baker doesn't offer the product,
and they went to the government said we want to
(36:28):
force them to offer that product that they don't offer,
not only because we want them to offer it, but
because we're mad because they disagree with our lifestyle. A
free country, I can disagree with your lifestyle, and if
I don't want to give you a product, has anything
(36:50):
do with that lifestyle. Hey, I'm not discriminating against you. You
want to buy any other product I offer, Welcome to
the store. I don't care who you are or what
you do with your sexual orientation, but don't force me
through government to offer a product I don't offer, especially
when it's against my religious convictions. That's how it works.
(37:16):
Here's some of the other key takeaways, moderated by Anderson
Cooper from the Wednesday night Kamala Harris town hall. He
opened the event saying, I believe that Donald Trump is unstable,
increasingly unstable, and unfit to serve. His vice president, national
(37:36):
security advisor, Secretary of Defense, chief of staffs have all
said that he has could tempt for the constitution, which
is not true. And I'll get to that in a second.
And they said he should never again serve as president
of the United States. We know that is why Mike
Prince is not running with him again, why the job
was empty. And then Kamala has her ants and he asked, well,
(38:02):
do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? And she says, oh,
I do. I believe that the people who you, who
know him best on the subject, should should be trusted.
He knows people say that they fear she has a
legitimate fear they will not uphold the Constitution. I just
told you first of all, she's violating the Constitution with
(38:23):
her ideas. But let's let's find out it is Donald
Trump a fascist? Because this is this is the language
they're pushing. And then they're wondering why people were out
there wanting to shoot the man they are openly calling
him a fascist. What is a fascist? What does fascism mean?
What does it do? From their point of view, it's
(38:45):
picking a particular group as being the master race and
and then them being prideful of that. And that's you know,
nationalism or whatever, you know, the master race. And that's
why they call him the white supremacist, which is a
bunch of baloney, not true, but really what is fascism
If you break it down, what is the definition of fascism.
(39:07):
Fascism is actually a type of socialism. Communists hate fascists,
Fascists hate communists, and they consider themselves on the opposite
side of the spectrum, but they're not. They're both socialists
working to achieve the same thing from a different manner.
It all comes down to the means of production. In
socialism communism, the means of production is controlled by the
(39:31):
government owning it, controlling it, owning it, having it. There
is no private sector. Fascism says, oh, that doesn't work.
They watched it doesn't work, but we want socialism, so
we got to find another way to achieve the saying.
So what they do is they say, Okay, we are
going to allow the private sector to still exist, but
(39:52):
we're going to control the means of production through heavy regulation,
heavy government control. The founding fathers that mercantilism. That's just
what Britain was doing, actually picking the winners and the losers,
and the companies are going to work with government and
the rest of them are gone. There's such heavy regulation.
Even if the business did doesn't like it, they got
(40:14):
to follow it. In order to survive in that environment.
That's fascism. Now tell me who of our two candidates
believes that government should be heavily controlling business, dictating to business. Well,
you can't have price gouging, for example, price controls, wage controls,
(40:37):
which you see in California two. Well, be honest with you, Kamala.
So if anybody's a fascist, it's Kamala Harris and the Democrats.
They're the ones who support that kind of thinking. Well,
he said he's gonna be dictator on day one. He
(40:57):
was speaking facetiously. Well, he has he hates the Constitution,
he said, So, no, that's not what he said. He
didn't say that the Constitution should be terminated, as they
keep saying over and over and over in their talking point.
If you were there, if you were listening to what
he said word for word, you would know that's not
(41:18):
what he said. He said that if we continue down
this road, if the Democrats win, the Constitution will be terminated.
He was saying that him not winning will terminate the Constitution,
because that's what they want to do, terminate it. And
(41:46):
then you've got Kamala Harris, who was against Trump on
certain issues until she decided to change her mind. Her
shifts in her positions from twenty twenty, twenty nineteen to
now has been dizzying, such as her pledge to ban
fracking and now she's four fracking, or she won't ban
(42:07):
it at least she just won't allow it to expand.
And you know, and asked and if Cooper Anderson asked
and said, well, you're changing your mind, what should we
do here? What should we believe? And she gave a
(42:28):
non answer, but it basically said, well, there's nothing wrong
with changing your mind. Now, I get it. Over time
we change. I get that. Just like they accused Donald
Trump and being a womanizer. Of course all of their
examples are false, but let's just take the woman is
(42:49):
iSER thing for a moment. When he was not married,
when he did not have his main squeeze in Millennia
or whoever he was with previously, he was a millionaire
single man. If you're single and you've got lots of money,
(43:11):
and you're in business and you're well known, you got
all these connections, guess what, there's gonna be a lot
of the ladies hanging on your arm. And some people
might even consider that being a womanizer. That's not being
a rumanizer. That's just reality. Watch the Batman movie where
he shows up at his you know, with the Christian bale.
(43:33):
You know, he shows up he's got a woman on
each armor. You know, that rich guy, right, or he
got a you know, iron Man, you know, and Arburt
Downey Jr. And the women. We know that rich single guys.
Because he's a guy h to try to have women
around him. And let's say he was a womanizer because
(43:55):
of that. First of all, I'm not trying to marry
the guy. I want him to be president. Second of all,
people do change over time. To get back to my point,
I get that we get older, wiser, change our ways.
I think Milania Trump domesticated the guy. I think he
(44:17):
became a better person because of her, and he's not
that person anymore. And I'm fine with That's those types
of changes I get. But when you change in a
manner of years all of your political positions because suddenly
you're trying to get a raise, move up in the world,
(44:39):
and the type of office you hold, and you realize
that your policies are unpopular, so suddenly you change them all,
that's not that kind of change. That Trump has gone through.
That's not the kind of change people go through when
they grow and become more wise. That is a purposeful deception.
(45:02):
I tell you where she didn't change is she won't change.
And I talked about this earlier. It was abortion she
wants to use. She wants to get rid of the
filibuster cloture, get rid of the sixty voted in debate. Debate.
That's cloture, which you know with the which has been
around since seventeen eighty nine, the very first Congress. First,
(45:23):
you know that they created the founding fathers created that
rule so that Congress can use legislation to overturn the courts.
Wait a second, I thought the Democrats had been telling
us my whole life, if the courts overturned legislation, not
the other way around. First of all. Second of all,
(45:46):
if the courts say it's not constitutional for the federal
galument to have anything to do with abortion, it goes
back to the states. And if the Constitution says that,
how is it that you can have legislation pass to
codify re V. Waite. We've got Donald Trump, however, who
understands and number one, those are people I want to
(46:10):
be killing people here in the womb b that it
belongs to states. And so when he chose his United
States Supreme Court justices, she says, well, he hadn't selected
three members of the United States Supreme Court with the
intention that he would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade.
And they get as he intended. Well, yeah, if you
(46:31):
believe in something and that what you do, well, how
dare he go against you? And this idea women have
died because of these laws and place. This isn't the
nineteen fifties and sixties with you know, coat hanger abortions
in a back alley. Don't give me that crap. And
(46:52):
then they try to use things that rarely happen or
don't typically happen as a reason to codify abortion. Oh yeah,
but Doug, what about you know, if it's a medical
emergency and the poor woman she's got to have an
(47:12):
abortion otherwise she dies, that's not an abortion. That is
a medical procedure to save the mother's life. And typically,
if a pregnancy is gonna kill a woman, the baby's
not gonna survive either, so you gotta save at least
one of the lives. It's like, I can't remember the
name of it now. But where like, for example, the
(47:33):
baby implants on the Philippian tubes in tubul likeation or somebody,
I can't remember this, that term, that's a dangerous pregnancy.
Neither one of them will survive. That's not an abortion
in the sense of what these idiots are talking about.
(47:53):
That is a medical procedure to save a woman's life.
That's not a problem. And there's no pro lifer that
will tell you otherwise. Oh no, that's there's no exceptions,
that's it can't do that. No, of course, that's just
common sense. They're both gonna die. Terminate the pregnancy to
save the mother. Those are types of examples that rarely
(48:16):
happen that they use to try to convince you how
horrible those Republicans are, how horrible Trump is. What women
suffering a miscarriage who developed sepsis, which doesn't happen many
times like it once did. And second of all, once again,
(48:37):
there's nobody saying that when the woman's life is in
danger and the pregnancy is a field pregnancy, that you
can't terminate that. There's nobody saying that that's a bunch
of hogwash. And you know, it's interesting because when it
comes to her foreign policies too well and immigration, let's
(49:01):
put those two together. We want to shove, according to her,
one point four billion dollars into the hands of Palestine,
billion over a billion into the hands of Ukraine. But
we're not willing to spend money. A oh, and we're
going to spend over a billion on these illegal aliens
(49:24):
to make it easier for them. But we're going to
give her key victims seven hundred and fifty bucks each,
which they still haven't gotten. How about that we have
someone who on the issues is all over the place,
(49:45):
and as leftists is communists, is more government in your life?
Rent controls another one. That one's interesting. It's just like
the price, you know, going after grocers with their prices. Well,
it's too high of a rent, so we're going to
force them lower the rent. Why do you think the
rent's that high? They've got costs. If the rent's not
(50:06):
high enough, they can't afford the property anymore. So you
know what you wind up with the rent control, empty
properties and then government controlled properties. How about healthcare, Well,
once again going back to our rights, health care has
none of your business. Government healthcare Obamacare actually screwed me
(50:28):
out of health care, didn't get it through the employer,
work for myself, can't afford it now if the state
wants to have its own program. I don't believe that
these programs should be a part of life forever. But
(50:53):
you know, sometimes we need a safety net, and the
states are in constitutional states are allowed to offer that.
The federal government's business. Federal gum's not supposed to be
involved in those types of things. Besides, that's why we
have charities too, right, But see, Democrats don't believe in charities.
They believe in Republican I mean, in the government. That's
(51:15):
the reason why Republicans, if you look at the stats,
give it to charity more than Democrats. They don't give
to charity. They want the charity to beet through government.
But if it through government becomes entitlement. So anyway, all right,
that all said. My favorite though, is the climate crisis
(51:35):
is stop there for a second. So I used to
live in California, not of an organ now and a
lot of these states like California are adopting this young
the thin plastic grocer bags bags are bad. So in California,
what they did is they got rid of the thin
plastic bags and replaced them with these thicker plastic bags
(51:58):
that you pay a dime for the plastic. Thicker plastic
bags take twenty six times the energy to produce and
about that much longer twenty six times longer to decompose,
So how they environmentally friendly? Well, don't worry, Doug. That's
why we're encouraging reusable bags, which take even longer to decompose.
And if you don't wash them regularly or actually pose
(52:20):
a health risk, well, we're out of time. It's time
for me to say it. Do thank you for spending

My website Douglas V. Gibbs dot com. I'm known online
as mister Constitution. So it's funnycause an in the in
the beginning in the intro of this program today, as
if you were listening, it says the Constitution is one
of the things we talked about. I am the pre
(02:09):
eminent expert on the Constitution and have been for a
very long time. If you have anything, I'm the Constitution.
I'm the guy to ask. If you want to ask
triple eight four two nine five four seven one, triple
eight four two nine five four seven to one or
three two three seven, four four four eight four one.
(02:30):
That's the direct line. Three two three seven four four
four eight four one three two three seven four four
four eight four one. Colors are always welcome. So I'm watching,
I watch what's going on in the world a lot.
This election is interesting, isn't it. And you know, I'm
looking at the different positions that these different candidates claim
(02:56):
to have, and I found it fascinating because so ultimately
it comes down to what does the Constitution say. I
give you an example, the abortion issue, and Kamala Harris
says that she supports quote unquote abortion rights and reportedly
making reproductive health care central to her presidential campaign. She
(03:18):
believes that it should be available up to the full
full term and that the federal government should add that Congress.
One of the first things she will do is try
to get Congress to push legislation, pass legislation to codify
Roe v. Wade now that the Supreme Court kind of
killed it with their Dobbs v. Jackson ruling in twenty
(03:39):
twenty one. Meanwhile, Donald Trump says that the issue belongs
to the states. That Dobbs v. Jackson invalidated Roe v. Wade,
and he agrees with that, and it's up to each
state what they decide, what they decide to do. It's
none of the federal governments. Now we have a court
(04:01):
system right now, it's been striking down these laws that
some of these states these conservative states are passing the
limit or restrict abortion. And if he's saying it's up
to the states, then why are those courts doing that?
Why is the why are the lower courts hitting state
(04:23):
laws regarding an abortion when Dobbs v. Jackson ruling Supreme
Court higher court right, So the lower courts are supposed
to abide by what the higher court says, and they're
still they say, well, wait a second, it's up to
the states. It's none of his business. So if you
read the United States Constitution, here's one of the things
(04:45):
that you find about that document. In that document, it
has what's called an enumeration doctrine. The enumeration doctrine basically
means that order for the federal government to have an authority,
it needs to be expressly enumerated or listed in the Constitution.
(05:09):
If it's not expressly listed in the Constitution, then they
don't have the authority. So then we have to look, Okay, well,
is abortion, medical procedures, medical care, healthcare, any of that
in the Constitution. No, it is not so, well, Doug,
it's a right. In ninth Amendment says if a right's
(05:30):
not listed, it's still a right. The federal government's job
is to guarantee and protect those rights. That's not what
it says. That's not what rights are your rights When
it comes to the First Amendment, for example, he doesn't
say in the First Amendment, there's five rights, by the way,
listed there. Right, you got your religious freedom. It's freedom
(05:53):
of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, freedom to
petition the government for redress grievances. Life rights are listed
in the First Amendment. It doesn't say Congress or the
federal government shall guarantee and protect those rights. What does
this say? Look it up, Go ahead, I'll wait for
a second. Pull out your pocket Constitution, open it up,
(06:15):
the First Amendment, and read what it says. So right
there at the very beginning, Congress shall make no law.
Congress shall make no law. It doesn't say protect, it
doesn't say preserve. It doesn't say to guarantee. Government can't
guarantee anything. Congress shall make no law. Your rights, and
(06:42):
we go back to the Declaration of Independence. I talked
about this a little bit yesterday. Life liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. Pursuit of happiness, you have a right
to be happy. You have a right to pursue it.
Don't have a right to health procedures, you have a
right to pursue them. So in question is does government
have the authority to dictate that everybody must have available
(07:06):
to them the ability to kill their unborn child. Abortion
is not listed, and it says that your rights historically
your rights, and when you come to reading James Madison,
Thomas Jefferson, all those guys around there as your rights
or something that you possess, they belong to you. God
(07:27):
gave them to you. So if you have God given rights,
first of all, in order for a right to be
a right, God would need to sanction it. It's God
given right. So we have to ask our question, would
God sanction abortion? So while Doug guy, you're getting religious,
(07:49):
we don't need a religion in politics. Well, religion is
foundation of where our moral standards come from. We don't
just suddenly decide, hey, I think this is right, this
is wrong. Our idea of right and wrong. Our moral
standards come from some type of religious belief, be it
whatever you are. So religion, your faith God plays a
(08:13):
part in the legal aspects of our system. And ultimately
it comes down to this, is it right to kill
another human beings. There's the other thing about rights. Not
only are your right something to be pursuit, not guaranteed
or or get guaranteed or saved, preserved protected by the
(08:36):
federal government. There are something that you pursue and they're
just supposed to get out of the way. Congress shall
make no law, shall not be infringed, shall not be violated.
In the Fourth Amendment. This is not language telling government
to preserve, protect, and guarantee. It's language telling government hands
off none of your business. And so it blocks to the
(08:58):
states because the Tenth Amendments is what In the tenth
Amendment it says that if a right, I'm sorry for
a power is not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, those
powers are reserved in the States respectively, or to the people.
So it goes back to the states. But now getting
(09:21):
back to rights in general and abortion and all this
other stuff. So, right, your rights in general, because they
come from God, they are your possession right. And I said,
well I don't believe in God, Well, all right, fine,
divine dispensation, you naturally have them, natural rights, natural order
of things, whatever. But it comes down to a moral standard,
and our rights have to do with that moral standard
(09:44):
if there are If there is no moral standard, there
are no rights because rights are based on a moral
natural order of things. And even if you don't, even
if you remove morality, the natural vote of things is
going to be there. And what the natural order of
things is is that's that. That is what we like
(10:06):
to call anyway, the law, the rule of law. And
when you have the rule of law in place natural
order of things right. That goes back to the Declaration
of independence. Truth self evident. These truths are self evident.
We know these things to be true. We have a
moral standard, we know the natural order of things. Therefore,
(10:28):
these truths we know them. They're self evident. We know
what the truth is. So we have a party out
there and an ideology. And I don't even want to
say party, because both parties feed from the same truth.
But we have an idea out there that opposes the Constitution.
If they're opposing what the Constitution is about, then they're
(10:49):
opposing the natural order of things and the moral standard.
That's the reason why they support things like defunding the police.
That's why they support things like abortion. But getting back
to know what I was gonna say earlier about our rights.
Our rights also have a second part of them, and
that is one right cannot interfere with another right. I
(11:12):
have the right to swing my arms. You have a
right not to be punched in the face. I swing
marms all I want. But if I am a threat
to you or punch you in the face with my
swing in my arms, that right stops being a right.
That's why I was supposed to be responsible with the rights.
I have the right to go through an intersection, but
my right to go through that intersection stops at the
(11:33):
next at the edge of the next guy's bumper, because
he has the right to go through the intersection as well.
My right stops when it interferes with his right. I
still get my right, but it has to operate in
an orderly fashion or in a way where it doesn't
interfere with someone else's rights. And if just carrying out
my right is always going to interfere with somebody else's
(11:55):
right on something, then it's not a right. So now
we get back to abortion again. So the question is
is that baby in that womb a person? If that
baby in that womb is a person. In the Fourteenth
Amendment and the Fifth Amendment both apply and what it
(12:18):
says in those parts of the Constitution. Once again, I'm
going to read exact language because I think this is important.
In fourteenth Amendment, no States should shall deprive any person
of life, liberty, property without due process A law says
the same thing in the Fifth Amendment for the federal government.
(12:39):
So question is is that person. If that is a person,
they cannot be deprived of their life without due process
a law. The right to abord is interfering with the
right of life of that other person. Therefore, abortion is
not a right. Well, Doug, that's not really a person
in that woman. That's a lab of go or whatever
(13:02):
they say. It is do zeygo. If you want to
get into the scientific terms, they won't say baby. It's
funny because last whenever you see a pregnant woman, you
walk up to her and say, hey, so, when does
(13:22):
your fetus do? No, what do we say, Oh, when
does your baby do? Do you know the sex of
your baby? How long have you been pregnant with that baby?
That's the term we use because we know instinctively that's
a baby, that's a human being. Truth self evident. Now
(13:47):
the one that really interests me though especially even more
so than that issue when it comes to the Kamala
Harris campaign and the I get I I don't really
know how to say this. The Democrat Party's consumer protection policies.
(14:07):
I guess that's the right way to say it. Well,
it's all about consumer protection, doug. We've got to protect
consumers from those you know, bad corporations and all of that. Well,
and on April tenth, twenty twenty, Kamala Harris and Senator
Elizabeth Warren introduced the Price Gouging Prevention Act. It was
(14:31):
a bill that would empower the Federal Trade Commission to
enforce a ban on excessive price increases of consumer goods
and national emergencies amid national emergencies, and specifically consider any
price increase above ten percent to be price gouging during
such a declaration. During the same month, Harris and Senator
(14:55):
Shared Brown and Representatives Ayana Presley and Gregory Meeks the
Small Business the Small Business Administration, and Treasury Department a
letter requesting that the agency's move to ensure minority owned
businesses remain under the Paycheck Protection Program, calling for the
Trump administration to revise guidance on a program to reaffirm
(15:18):
the leading US that leading in lending institutions comply with
fair lending laws and mandate that they report demographics of
program lending. So the two things that are here is
a government should dictate to you your prices if your business.
And we heard it on the campaign trail, right too, right,
she calls it Christ's gouging, you know, the grocery stores. Well,
(15:41):
when we talk about the economy, and rather than take
blame for being a part of the administration that has
inflation going through the roof, Kamala Harris has said, well,
it's the businesses they're gouging prices. I think the uh,
the marge profit margin for grocery stores, it's something like
(16:03):
one point four percent, not a big profit margin. If
they're gouging that, that would be that that would be
an incredibly small profit margin. Otherwise you're not in business
to go broke your business to make money. To see,
she's against businesses making money. So she said on the
(16:23):
campaign trail, the same thing that is in that bill
that her and Elizabeth Warren pushed on April tenth, twenty twenty,
we're gonna stop price gouging. That's how we're gonna take
care of inflation. We're gonna force businesses to lower the prices.
This is, prices are higher not because their price is galaging,
but because of the cost of doing business. That's how
(16:44):
the free market works. When the cost of going doing
business goes up, the prices go up. Same thing with
the taxation. Oh we're gonna tax the rich, and we're
gonna tax corporations or a tax anybody it makes more
than four hundred thousand dollars a year. So in other words,
you go tax all these businesses because also you want
the coropor taxi go up, you know, to make them
(17:05):
pay their fair share. They don't pay taxes. It is
a cost of doing business. Just like the cost of
gas increases the transportation cost of the goods, just like
the regulatory red tape increases the cost of doing business.
All of these things that government does to interfere with
(17:28):
the market increases the cost and then her solution for
higher cost because of largely government interference. Don't get me wrong.
The market has its ups and downs, a supply and demand.
If you understand economics, you get the roller coaster right
of prices and how they go up and down over time.
(17:51):
But when it comes to the actual crisis in a
free market, it's cost of doing business that is the
primary factor here. Big business doesn't pay taxes. You do
because the tax is a cost of doing business that
is put into the price. They don't pay higher transportation costs.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You do.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
When the transportation cost goes up because of higher wages
or fuel prices going up, or whatever. It's put in
the price, you pay it. This is all about cost
of doing business. If you put price controls in a
place a it's not in the constitution. There's no authority
(18:39):
for the federal government, no cost authority anywhere listened in
the constitution allowing the federal government to go after these
businesses for price gouging. But also it hurts the free market.
The way government's supposed to operate is the way constitution says,
none of your business, stay out of it. No authority.
(19:02):
Oh well, Doug, Well then you're saying this business can
just run rampant and do whatever they want. How how
the consumers will stop buying products of problematic producers? First
of all. Second of all, if a state wants to
have certain regulatory things inside their state. They can, of course,
what that'll do. If it gets ridiculous, there's those businesses
(19:24):
start leaf leaving that state. Just ask California. That's how
it's supposed to work. That's how it's supposed to function.
Then there's tariffs. This is one of my favorites because
you don't remember Kamala Harris's primary Kamala Harris's primary presidential
(19:46):
scream is not that she wants to be a good president,
she wants to do this for you or that for you,
or any of that. It's Trump is a bad guy.
It's Trump's fault that everything's been going bad for the
last three and a half years, even though it's been
her and Biden an office. Trump's a fascists, Trump's this,
Trump's ad or whatever. And one of the things that
(20:08):
she's been attacking is tariffs, the tariffs imposed by the
Trump administration. She has spoken against those tariffs over and
over and over and has blamed them as being a
part of the cause of inflation. Here's what tariffs do. Tariffs.
(20:34):
First of all, before we had an income tax in
nineteen thirteen with the sixteenth Amendment, one of the main
not the entire but one of the main income mechanisms
for the federal government was terriffs. The states also paid
an income tax and then they you know, from taxes
(20:55):
they got from the people, so you still paid incump tax,
but it was an indirect income tax to your state.
And when the federal GONA says, hey, you know, state,
you are nineteen percent of population or five percent of population,
so you're you're due to pay five percent of budget.
And then the state would look at the budget say
not not paying that because of this, this and this
is unconstitutional. Try again and we might give you the money.
(21:16):
That's the way it went. And then the other, like
I said, was terriffts. Tariffs are a wonderful thing when
used in moderation or properly. Obviously, if it's just like
with anything, eat too much junk food, you're gonna be unhealthy.
If the tariffs are too exceedingly great, then the then
(21:39):
the whole trade situation is canna be unhealthy. But when
you put tariffs on a on a competitor, a foreign competitor,
and it's costing a little bit more for your American
producers to compete, what does that do? It levels a
playing field so that the American producers compete and compete.
(22:00):
You don't have China bring in all these cheap products
and screwing the American producer because they're not paying the
wages of children that the China, Chinese or Indians are
in India or wherever these products come from a Vietnam
or whatever the lower wages or whatever it is, and
they're able to compete. And it brings manufacturing back to
(22:22):
the United States also because if you're a manufacturer, you're
gonna want to bring your business here to avoid the terror.
When we come back more on this go anywhere.

part four, my book, the Repeal Democracy. That's the book
(29:07):
you really want to get if you want to know
the difference between a democracy and a republic. Repeal democracy.
All right, so let's get back to what I was
talking about, talking about the policies of the unconstitutional folks,
the folks that despise the Constitution considered an antiquated document,
that liberty is something that you shouldn't have, that the
(29:29):
best solution your problems is more government. And I've been
going so over some of the policies that Kamala Harris
and her campaign have been talking about, and one of
them that's interesting is her small business. Why have four
small business I'm going to help small business. And what
they do, first of all is there has to be
an enemy. So if you want to help small business,
(29:50):
that means a bigger business as an enemy. So we're
going to help small business, and then we're going to
try to hit big business as much as we can
with all kinds of taxes you want to pay for.
So you you know what you know taken for Peter
to give the Paul kind of thing, right, and you
know they think they're, you know, like a Robin Hood,
except for even Robin Hood wasn't the Robin Hood we
think he was. He was actually taking from government ridiculousness
(30:12):
and giving it back to the people if you really
look at what Robin Hood was all about. But she
thinks it's you know, rob from the rich and give
to the poor and a small business being the smaller.
And so what they're going to do is they want
to And this goes all the way back to May
of twenty twenty when Kamaha Harrison Ayana Presley introduced a
Saving Our Street Act, which would allocate grants up to
(30:36):
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to businesses with fewer
than ten employees to provide a relief to micro businesses. Now,
for those of you who have dealt with government, if
government gives you money, be it welfare or a check
or a grant or relief under a bill like that,
(31:05):
what does government do? Oh, we gave you money. Now
we're going to dictate to you how to spend it.
Now we are your partner. This is an attempt a
to control business B. What it does also is it
drives up. It makes it harder, should I say, for
other businesses to compete, because now the plane fill has
(31:28):
been unevened. And then the idea is, well, then you
tax the higher businesses, the corporations. And this is called
a progressive tax rate. When you first of all, it
violates the Constitution all kinds of ways if you go
into article on section eight any taxes, excises, duties and
(31:50):
imposts and all that, if you read the constitution or
to be uniform. First of all, same across the board.
But what we have in America's progressive tax rate. The
more you make, the higher percentage you pay. And if
you're a big business you should pay more too, according
to the people like Kamala and they do you know
(32:11):
where you could find the progressive tax rate. It's in
the communist manifesto. It is a communist policy to tax
in that man in a progressive manner like that. And
when it comes to taxes, and she says, well, you know,
(32:33):
Trump is only there for the rich. He'say, you have
tax breaks the rich, and you know, tax the middle class.
That's not what happened. That's not his record. His record
was tax cuts across the board. But see, they weren't
happy with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of twenty
seventeen because Trump and Congress and the Republicans would not
repeal the tax cuts for wealthy Americans. In twenty eighteen,
(32:59):
Kamala posed tax cut for middle class Americans, which she
claims that's what she's looking for, but she would not
allow any tax cuts for anybody wealthy. She would repeal
all of their tax cuts. Increase taxes on corporations. Well,
(33:20):
it goes back to somethingst ten yearlier. When it comes
to corporations, Well, we're gonna hit those corporations with high taxes.
It's a cost of doing business. They're not gonna pay
that tax. The average American is in the prices inflation.
Oh well we'll stop them with price you know, not
allow them to price gouge. So the way to fix
the problem created by government is to use government to
force them not to raise their prices. You're gonna have
(33:40):
corporations going out of business. If you can't make a profit,
you're done, You're gone. That is what her policies will do.
That is what come on. And you know, she was
in a town hall earlier this week and Wednesday night
(34:02):
in front of undecided voters in Aston, Pennsylvania near Philadelphia,
and a number of issues is talked about, LGBTQ plus.
My first response is, why is government even involved in that?
For example, game marriage. Let's just use this for example
for a second. Why are churches being told they have
to give those ceremonies. It's a free system. It's a
(34:25):
free market. It's a you know, system of liberty. That's
their decision. Let the church decide whether or not they
will perform those types of ceremonies, and then they will
reap the benefits or the consequences with the number of
people remain or come to their or leave their congregation.
(34:47):
That's how it works. So and that's a free market.
So why has government even involved? Well, Doug, oh, don't
you think we ought to ban gay marriage?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I mean I don't agree with that particular agenda. I
don't believe that it's from a moral standport a standpoint,
a good thing, but I don't think it's any government's business.
It's like I was talking about yesterday on the Power
Hour when it came to the baking the cake thing,
(35:21):
and the gay couple went to a Christian baker, said
we want you to bake a cake, and we want
two men on the top of that wedding cake. And
the baker said, we don't make those cakes, we don't
offer that product. So they sued them, saying that they
were interfering with their right to have their cake. What
I said earlier about the pursuit of your rights, pursue
(35:46):
your right to have your cake baked somewhere else, because
they have a right not to make it. Your right
can interfere with their right if they religiously say we
don't offer that product. Could you imagine going to a
pie company who makes pies and saying, I'd like to
(36:06):
buy a pair of shoes, Well, we don't offer that
product while we make his pies. Oh so you're discriminating
against my feet. I'm going to assume you for not
making shoes and selling them to me. That's ridiculous. They
don't offer the product. The Christian baker doesn't offer the product,
and they went to the government said we want to
(36:28):
force them to offer that product that they don't offer,
not only because we want them to offer it, but
because we're mad because they disagree with our lifestyle. A
free country, I can disagree with your lifestyle, and if
I don't want to give you a product, has anything
(36:50):
do with that lifestyle. Hey, I'm not discriminating against you. You
want to buy any other product I offer, Welcome to
the store. I don't care who you are or what
you do with your sexual orientation, but don't force me
through government to offer a product I don't offer, especially
when it's against my religious convictions. That's how it works.
(37:16):
Here's some of the other key takeaways, moderated by Anderson
Cooper from the Wednesday night Kamala Harris town hall. He
opened the event saying, I believe that Donald Trump is unstable,
increasingly unstable, and unfit to serve. His vice president, national
(37:36):
security advisor, Secretary of Defense, chief of staffs have all
said that he has could tempt for the constitution, which
is not true. And I'll get to that in a second.
And they said he should never again serve as president
of the United States. We know that is why Mike
Prince is not running with him again, why the job
was empty. And then Kamala has her ants and he asked, well,
(38:02):
do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? And she says, oh,
I do. I believe that the people who you, who
know him best on the subject, should should be trusted.
He knows people say that they fear she has a
legitimate fear they will not uphold the Constitution. I just
told you first of all, she's violating the Constitution with
(38:23):
her ideas. But let's let's find out it is Donald
Trump a fascist? Because this is this is the language
they're pushing. And then they're wondering why people were out
there wanting to shoot the man they are openly calling
him a fascist. What is a fascist? What does fascism mean?
What does it do? From their point of view, it's
(38:45):
picking a particular group as being the master race and
and then them being prideful of that. And that's you know,
nationalism or whatever, you know, the master race. And that's
why they call him the white supremacist, which is a
bunch of baloney, not true, but really what is fascism
If you break it down, what is the definition of fascism.
(39:07):
Fascism is actually a type of socialism. Communists hate fascists,
Fascists hate communists, and they consider themselves on the opposite
side of the spectrum, but they're not. They're both socialists
working to achieve the same thing from a different manner.
It all comes down to the means of production. In
socialism communism, the means of production is controlled by the
(39:31):
government owning it, controlling it, owning it, having it. There
is no private sector. Fascism says, oh, that doesn't work.
They watched it doesn't work, but we want socialism, so
we got to find another way to achieve the saying.
So what they do is they say, Okay, we are
going to allow the private sector to still exist, but
(39:52):
we're going to control the means of production through heavy regulation,
heavy government control. The founding fathers that mercantilism. That's just
what Britain was doing, actually picking the winners and the losers,
and the companies are going to work with government and
the rest of them are gone. There's such heavy regulation.
Even if the business did doesn't like it, they got
(40:14):
to follow it. In order to survive in that environment.
That's fascism. Now tell me who of our two candidates
believes that government should be heavily controlling business, dictating to business. Well,
you can't have price gouging, for example, price controls, wage controls,
(40:37):
which you see in California two. Well, be honest with you, Kamala.
So if anybody's a fascist, it's Kamala Harris and the Democrats.
They're the ones who support that kind of thinking. Well,
he said he's gonna be dictator on day one. He
(40:57):
was speaking facetiously. Well, he has he hates the Constitution,
he said, So, no, that's not what he said. He
didn't say that the Constitution should be terminated, as they
keep saying over and over and over in their talking point.
If you were there, if you were listening to what
he said word for word, you would know that's not
(41:18):
what he said. He said that if we continue down
this road, if the Democrats win, the Constitution will be terminated.
He was saying that him not winning will terminate the Constitution,
because that's what they want to do, terminate it. And
(41:46):
then you've got Kamala Harris, who was against Trump on
certain issues until she decided to change her mind. Her
shifts in her positions from twenty twenty, twenty nineteen to
now has been dizzying, such as her pledge to ban
fracking and now she's four fracking, or she won't ban
(42:07):
it at least she just won't allow it to expand.
And you know, and asked and if Cooper Anderson asked
and said, well, you're changing your mind, what should we
do here? What should we believe? And she gave a
(42:28):
non answer, but it basically said, well, there's nothing wrong
with changing your mind. Now, I get it. Over time
we change. I get that. Just like they accused Donald
Trump and being a womanizer. Of course all of their
examples are false, but let's just take the woman is
(42:49):
iSER thing for a moment. When he was not married,
when he did not have his main squeeze in Millennia
or whoever he was with previously, he was a millionaire
single man. If you're single and you've got lots of money,
(43:11):
and you're in business and you're well known, you got
all these connections, guess what, there's gonna be a lot
of the ladies hanging on your arm. And some people
might even consider that being a womanizer. That's not being
a rumanizer. That's just reality. Watch the Batman movie where
he shows up at his you know, with the Christian bale.
(43:33):
You know, he shows up he's got a woman on
each armor. You know, that rich guy, right, or he
got a you know, iron Man, you know, and Arburt
Downey Jr. And the women. We know that rich single guys.
Because he's a guy h to try to have women
around him. And let's say he was a womanizer because
(43:55):
of that. First of all, I'm not trying to marry
the guy. I want him to be president. Second of all,
people do change over time. To get back to my point,
I get that we get older, wiser, change our ways.
I think Milania Trump domesticated the guy. I think he
(44:17):
became a better person because of her, and he's not
that person anymore. And I'm fine with That's those types
of changes I get. But when you change in a
manner of years all of your political positions because suddenly
you're trying to get a raise, move up in the world,
(44:39):
and the type of office you hold, and you realize
that your policies are unpopular, so suddenly you change them all,
that's not that kind of change. That Trump has gone through.
That's not the kind of change people go through when
they grow and become more wise. That is a purposeful deception.
(45:02):
I tell you where she didn't change is she won't change.
And I talked about this earlier. It was abortion she
wants to use. She wants to get rid of the
filibuster cloture, get rid of the sixty voted in debate. Debate.
That's cloture, which you know with the which has been
around since seventeen eighty nine, the very first Congress. First,
(45:23):
you know that they created the founding fathers created that
rule so that Congress can use legislation to overturn the courts.
Wait a second, I thought the Democrats had been telling
us my whole life, if the courts overturned legislation, not
the other way around. First of all. Second of all,
(45:46):
if the courts say it's not constitutional for the federal
galument to have anything to do with abortion, it goes
back to the states. And if the Constitution says that,
how is it that you can have legislation pass to
codify re V. Waite. We've got Donald Trump, however, who
understands and number one, those are people I want to
(46:10):
be killing people here in the womb b that it
belongs to states. And so when he chose his United
States Supreme Court justices, she says, well, he hadn't selected
three members of the United States Supreme Court with the
intention that he would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade.
And they get as he intended. Well, yeah, if you
(46:31):
believe in something and that what you do, well, how
dare he go against you? And this idea women have
died because of these laws and place. This isn't the
nineteen fifties and sixties with you know, coat hanger abortions
in a back alley. Don't give me that crap. And
(46:52):
then they try to use things that rarely happen or
don't typically happen as a reason to codify abortion. Oh yeah,
but Doug, what about you know, if it's a medical
emergency and the poor woman she's got to have an
(47:12):
abortion otherwise she dies, that's not an abortion. That is
a medical procedure to save the mother's life. And typically,
if a pregnancy is gonna kill a woman, the baby's
not gonna survive either, so you gotta save at least
one of the lives. It's like, I can't remember the
name of it now. But where like, for example, the
(47:33):
baby implants on the Philippian tubes in tubul likeation or somebody,
I can't remember this, that term, that's a dangerous pregnancy.
Neither one of them will survive. That's not an abortion
in the sense of what these idiots are talking about.
(47:53):
That is a medical procedure to save a woman's life.
That's not a problem. And there's no pro lifer that
will tell you otherwise. Oh no, that's there's no exceptions,
that's it can't do that. No, of course, that's just
common sense. They're both gonna die. Terminate the pregnancy to
save the mother. Those are types of examples that rarely
(48:16):
happen that they use to try to convince you how
horrible those Republicans are, how horrible Trump is. What women
suffering a miscarriage who developed sepsis, which doesn't happen many
times like it once did. And second of all, once again,
(48:37):
there's nobody saying that when the woman's life is in
danger and the pregnancy is a field pregnancy, that you
can't terminate that. There's nobody saying that that's a bunch
of hogwash. And you know, it's interesting because when it
comes to her foreign policies too well and immigration, let's
(49:01):
put those two together. We want to shove, according to her,
one point four billion dollars into the hands of Palestine,
billion over a billion into the hands of Ukraine. But
we're not willing to spend money. A oh, and we're
going to spend over a billion on these illegal aliens
(49:24):
to make it easier for them. But we're going to
give her key victims seven hundred and fifty bucks each,
which they still haven't gotten. How about that we have
someone who on the issues is all over the place,
(49:45):
and as leftists is communists, is more government in your life?
Rent controls another one. That one's interesting. It's just like
the price, you know, going after grocers with their prices. Well,
it's too high of a rent, so we're going to
force them lower the rent. Why do you think the
rent's that high? They've got costs. If the rent's not
(50:06):
high enough, they can't afford the property anymore. So you
know what you wind up with the rent control, empty
properties and then government controlled properties. How about healthcare, Well,
once again going back to our rights, health care has
none of your business. Government healthcare Obamacare actually screwed me
(50:28):
out of health care, didn't get it through the employer,
work for myself, can't afford it now if the state
wants to have its own program. I don't believe that
these programs should be a part of life forever. But
(50:53):
you know, sometimes we need a safety net, and the
states are in constitutional states are allowed to offer that.
The federal government's business. Federal gum's not supposed to be
involved in those types of things. Besides, that's why we
have charities too, right, But see, Democrats don't believe in charities.
They believe in Republican I mean, in the government. That's
(51:15):
the reason why Republicans, if you look at the stats,
give it to charity more than Democrats. They don't give
to charity. They want the charity to beet through government.
But if it through government becomes entitlement. So anyway, all right,
that all said. My favorite though, is the climate crisis
(51:35):
is stop there for a second. So I used to
live in California, not of an organ now and a
lot of these states like California are adopting this young
the thin plastic grocer bags bags are bad. So in California,
what they did is they got rid of the thin
plastic bags and replaced them with these thicker plastic bags
(51:58):
that you pay a dime for the plastic. Thicker plastic
bags take twenty six times the energy to produce and
about that much longer twenty six times longer to decompose,
So how they environmentally friendly? Well, don't worry, Doug. That's
why we're encouraging reusable bags, which take even longer to decompose.
And if you don't wash them regularly or actually pose
(52:20):
a health risk, well, we're out of time. It's time
for me to say it. Do thank you for spending
