Transcript

00:00Hello, everyone. I'm watching OAN, One America News, and they do kind of quasi-old ABC school

00:15house rock history segments, or was it ABC or NBC that used to do the more you know type

00:27segments, or as Paul Hardy would say, now you know the rest of the story type history segments

00:36on OAN. And they annoy me at times because they keep repeating these same segments over and over,

00:47but they're important. The one repeated now was federalism, trying to explain federalism. And

00:56I gave a speech on it one time at a GOP event. And indeed, federalism needs to be discussed because

01:05people are confused. It's one of those almost kind of oxymoronic type terms that kind of when you hear

01:15it, it kind of implies one thing, but it's supposed to mean kind of the opposite of what it does.

01:22And by that, right, the original, during the discussion of the foundations of our nation,

01:33federalism is supposed to mean, meant at the time, supposed to mean now, but as I write at

01:41beforesnews.com, today's fascia federalism, also at thelibertybeacon.com, right,

01:49original intent federalists versus modern fascia federalists, as I call them, right? Federalism,

02:00the quasi-loose, just general, light, constitutionally limited federal loose connections

02:14over the states that are sovereign. That's how our nation's supposed to work. Over the years,

02:21that's been destroyed, like via the 17th Amendment, eliminating that check and balance. The House of

02:30Representatives are directly elected. The senators were never, ever meant to be directly voted on by the

02:41people. They were supposed to be appointed by the state legislatures as representatives, as a check and

02:48balance, as representatives of the states to protect the 10th Amendment states' rights, and uphold the

02:58federalism of our government, which again, supposed to mean only a very light, loose touch,

03:08limited authorities, limited authorities, federal government, to loosely hold together the United

03:16States of America. The states created the federal government, not the other way around. The states are

03:24supposed to have control over the federal government, not the other way around. But immediately after the

03:34constitution was inked, some in what then became the federalist party started down the road to today's

03:44fascia federalism and destroying the term federalism to into more indeed as the term itself federalism.

03:56Right? Oh, it's all about federal control is what it sounds like. It's not what it's supposed to mean. But indeed,

04:03Jefferson even became the first federalist, Democrat,

04:10commie facie, so she's of modern, eroding the constitution and eroding state rights and giving more and more power,

04:20authority and control to the federal government. That was never intended. And of course, over the course of our

04:29250 years, we've gotten to this way overburdened, uh, way overreached usurpation of the constitution and see my CTP

04:42show on, uh, uh, Norton v. Shelby. The SCOTUS already ruled government overreach and officials doing things that are

04:53outside constitutional bounds that need to go. But we seem to have forgotten that case because

05:04the fascia federalists, the fascia federalists, the, and the senos and the rhinos, along with them,

05:11wanting more and more federal dictatorial power, ignored Norton v. Shelby, as well as other cases,

05:20and continue to grow federal government and amass more power control out of the deep state DC swamp.

05:29So, I, I felt it important to address because education is destroyed in this country. It's

05:38exactly why, especially the left, including some senos and rhinos, right? Not Republicans. It's right in the name,

05:49republic. People wanting to preserve the state-right republic and the sovereign authority of the people

05:59to self-govern, not be dictated to from DC. Republican. It's right in the name. But yeah,

06:08senos and rhinos, all on the left, been destroying that. Oh, I forgot where I was going, uh, with that. But yeah,

06:18I mean, moving us more left towards dick, commie, fashie, so she's all left, more government control.

06:27Far right is anarchy. And no one I know on the planet wants complete anarchy and every man,

06:34woman, and child for themselves. We all agree there's got to be some limited government to

06:41keep controls because of human nature. You've got to control humans and who are given free will and

06:49some who will choose that for evil. To have an ounce of protection rather than you having to fend for

06:58yourself, there has to be some government protection. So no one I know is an anarchist,

07:05but we believe in right-limited government. The left, communists, fascists, socialists, monarchs.

07:14What they claim to be progressive, they're regressive. They want to take us back from

07:20a constitutionally limited republic to more of a left-wing, top-down, autocratic control.

07:29That's why they project and call everybody else a Nazi. That's a left-wing ideology. They use

07:37the fascistic tactics and also that, right? Anarchy. Antifa. The 1930s,

07:48it was a communist movement. It was anti-socialists. The national socialists, later known as fascists,

07:57right? Communists against socialists. Today, commie, fascist, socialists, it's all the one same thing.

08:06They may have different banners, but they're all trying to achieve the same autocratic, top-down,

08:13dictatorial control out of DC over you. They, of course, want their ruling elites to be the one in

08:23charge, but they all, to a large degree, work together because their end goal is the same. More

08:32power and control over the masses. They're not progressive, they're regressive. They want return

08:39to where very few lord over all the masses versus our limited republic where we the people are supposed

08:51to be the bosses and in charge. Okay, so recap. Federalism doesn't mean what it used to. What it's

09:02supposed to mean is what we were given, a loose, limited federal government, only enough to kind of hold

09:10the states together and do things states can't or need it at a national level that all 50 states didn't

09:22need to do for themselves. But it's not this one big entity do it for all of us. But again, the states are

09:31supposed to have the ultimate end authority over all that at the federal level. And that has gotten completely

09:40bastardized as of today. So federalism then versus fascia federalism now. And again, the left, including

09:51Jefferson, on up, eroding the federalism, destroying federalism, moving towards fascia federalism.

10:01That, my friends, is the rest of the story. That and the more you know. But that's why civics aren't

10:11taught in the schools anymore. They don't want anyone to know what federalism really supposed to mean. They

10:21don't want anyone to know like the Schumer shutdown and the left running around. Well, it's the GOP shutdown

10:29because the GOP has the House and the Senate as well as the presidency. Morons. There are not 60

10:37Republicans in the Senate. We have minor majorities in both bodies. The left, the Democrats, are using the

10:48filibuster to block the continuing resolution and get to a resolution on regular order spending bills.

10:56The filibuster. It takes 60 votes. We don't have 60 Republicans in the Senate. But again, this is

11:07why civics was removed. The left needs morons to lie to and be useful idiots. Morons that will soak up

11:20the left idiot lies because they don't know any better. Okay? Thank you all. Take care. God bless. Love you all.
