00:00Hello everybody, this I guess is the 10th video exclusive for the month of August 2025.
00:12I want to talk about Trump signing a flag-burning EO today.
00:21Write this, the Supreme Court previously ruled it is a matter of free speech.
00:30Protected speech.
00:31Well, on the one hand, I can agree with that.
00:36On the other hand, I still have problems with it.
00:40Now, first, left-hearts, no, this is not what I'm wearing, a violation of the flag code.
00:49This is not a U.S. flag.
00:53It's not made from a U.S. flag.
00:56It's a shirt creatively made in homage of the U.S. flag.
01:05It is not a violation of the flag code.
01:09So, apologies.
01:13Again, the Constitutionalist Politics Podcast.
01:16I try to be a G-rated show, but I'm sorry, and I'm going to do it again.
01:23Hey, left-hearts.
01:25You know, sometimes the emphasis is needed.
01:30But, to Trump's executive order and direction to Pam Bondi, the AG, and the FBI, and whomever else,
01:42let me put it to you this way.
01:46If someone, I just came from Kroger, right?
01:51I bought a candy bar and whatnot, right?
01:56I got a receipt.
01:58Now, if I want to take this candy bar, which I just bought, I've got a receipt to show that I bought it.
02:04I own it.
02:05This is now my property.
02:07And want to go into my driveway and set this on fire?
02:12Or set a flag, like if I buy a pride flag and set it on fire in my own driveway, that's my business.
02:26It's on my property.
02:28If you don't like it, too bleepin' bad, go bleep yourself, right?
02:35All right?
02:36But now, a flag on public property, that's another thing, right?
02:46Let's say I dislike the Atlanta Falcons, right?
02:52I'm here in Detroit, home of the Lions, NFL team, right?
02:57I don't get to take Atlantic gear or just some random, you idiots, American Eagle jeans because you dislike it.
03:09You do not get to just take a pair of American Eagle jeans on a public piece of property,
03:20dump some lighter fluid on it, and set it alight.
03:23That is then beyond protected speech, in my opinion.
03:29That's a problem.
03:31If I were to light Atlanta Falcon gear on public property, then I should be charged with what?
03:42Incitement?
03:43Public nuisance?
03:47Loitering?
03:49What?
03:50I'm not sure.
03:51I'm not certain.
03:52I'm just asking the questions, raising the questions here.
03:58So, if you got a flag and you got the receipt and you're burning it on your property, hey, knock yourselves out.
04:07But whatever it is, I don't get to pull a log out of the back of my car, put it on a public sidewalk,
04:17put some lighter fluid on it, put some lighter fluid on it, and set the log alight, right?
04:22This isn't about the flag, per se.
04:26It's about anything anyone is trying to burn in public.
04:32That is a problem that is violation of certain laws and, indeed, should be arrested and prosecuted.
04:41That's what this is about, not the flag itself.
04:47Right now, likewise, I'd go to a Detroit Lions.
04:52I wouldn't because I'm on disability budget.
04:55I can't afford any ridiculously, pathetically expensive tickets.
04:59But, right, I used to be a season ticket holder for the Detroit Drive arena football team and the Detroit Fury arena football team.
05:12I created the fan club for Detroit arena football.
05:18I tried to work with the management because I was the fan club leader, right, and have us do an event outside the Palace of Auburn Hills
05:34where the Detroit Fury used to play, playing against the Grand Rapids Rampage to have a Ford Rampage vehicle there that we would all put on goggles.
05:46You know, fans could come up, put on goggles, safety gear to protect them, and beat the crap out of a Rampage because that's who we were playing vehicle.
05:56Well, Ford was a sponsor of the Arena Football League and prominent sponsor at the Palace of Auburn Hills, so they nixed that idea.
06:09But you've probably seen these kinds of things at other events.
06:13There's a beat-up old vehicle with the opponent team, whether it be basketball, football, baseball, in the stadium parking lot with the logo of the other team on it and people beating the crap out of the car, right?
06:31That's also different.
06:33That's on private property.
06:36It's not on private property, the parking lot of the stadium or something somehow related to the sporting event.
06:45It's not on public property, and it's an arranged event.
06:51It's meant to be there for people to blow off.
06:54It's not.
06:57Oh, I think you get what I'm saying here.
07:01And this is all that I'm saying.
07:03Should people be charged with a crime for burning the American flag?
07:09It depends where and in what manner, the way things are happening.
07:15Should they be charged burning American Eagle jeans on public property?
07:23Yes.
07:24Same thing.
07:25What crime, what law is breaking, loitering, incitement?
07:37I don't know.
07:38I don't know the ins and outs of every law.
07:42I've been involved in politics since 78.
07:45That doesn't mean I know everything.
07:47I'm not a lawyer.
07:49And it doesn't mean even lawyers know everything about the law.
07:53They can find loopholes in laws a lot of times to try to let criminals off.
07:59They generally don't try to find things like a prosecutor, right?
08:03A.G.
08:04Judge Jeanine, former prosecutor.
08:07I would love to talk to her on my Christitutionalist podcast show about this.
08:13And indeed, as a prosecutor, what laws do you think indeed are broken and someone could be charged with for burning the American flag or anything else on public property?
08:29That is the issue here, not the flag itself.
08:34Okay?
08:36Thank you all.
08:38Take care.
08:39God bless.
