Episode #77: A Plan For Preserving Liberty W/Enoch Moore from Defending Utah
Happy Independence Day!!! I am not breaking any news here when I tell you that Liberty has never been in such a precarious place as it is today. We have bad actors from every walk of life looking to curtail you rights and liberty, from big tech, to government, to public private partnerships. Well today on this Independence Day I wanted to find solutions for these problems, and after having this conversation with Enoch Moore from Defending Utah I think he has come up with that solution. This will not require grand sweeping gestures, trying to find a political messiah, or teaming up with a massive national organization. The solution is local, non-violent, and has its roots in the founding era of this country. I told you few weeks back that I felt like the time for us being quite was over and that we are in a place where we now have to act. Stick around for a conversation that should not only excite you, but also give you hope that We The People still have a chance to save Liberty for our children.

Happy Independence Day,
everybody.
2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,960
Look, I'm not breaking any news
here when I tell you that
3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,120
liberty has never been in such a
precarious place as it is today.
4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,800
We have bad actors from every
walk of life looking to curtail
5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,000
your rights and freedoms and
liberty, from big tech to
6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,240
government to publicprivate
partnerships.
7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,200
Well, today on this Independence
Day, I wanted to find solutions
8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,470
for these problems.
And after having this
9
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:31,910
conversation with Enid Moore
from defending Utah, I think he
10
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:35,550
has come up with that solution.
This will not require a grand,
11
00:00:35,550 --> 00:00:38,670
sweeping gesture trying to find
some political Messiah or
12
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:41,150
teaming up with a massive
national organization.
13
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:44,510
The solution is local,
nonviolent, and has its roots in
14
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:46,070
the founding era of this
country.
15
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:49,350
Look, I told you a few weeks
back that I felt like the time
16
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:52,910
for us of being quiet was over.
And that we're now in a place
17
00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:56,150
where we have to act.
Stick around for a conversation
18
00:00:56,150 --> 00:01:00,030
that should not only excite you,
but also give you hope that we
19
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:02,830
the people still have the chance
to save liberty for our
20
00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:05,630
children.
That's next on this Independence
21
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:08,270
Day episode of the Mormon
Renegade podcast.
22
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:11,670
Look, it's no secret that our
society has become much more
23
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:15,590
crude and coarse to become and
raise men and women of virtue
24
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:17,550
and characters, a Herculean
task.
25
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:20,950
To help with this, I've recently
wrote and published a book.
26
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:24,780
Now, back in the 1700s,
Washington had a book called
27
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:27,300
Rules of Civility and Decent
Behavior and Company and
28
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,380
Conversation.
It was a book with 110 rules
29
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:34,300
that talked about how to conduct
yourself like a civilized person
30
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:37,660
in society, something that
today's society is sorely
31
00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:39,820
lacking.
What I did is I went back
32
00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:42,700
through the book and I
reinterpreted his original
33
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,890
sayings for the 21st century.
So the book is laid out in a way
34
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:49,130
in which you see Washington's
original rule.
35
00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:52,130
Right below that is my
explanation for the 21st
36
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:55,370
century, and below that you'll
find two or three examples of
37
00:01:55,370 --> 00:01:57,090
where to use this in the real
world.
38
00:01:57,530 --> 00:02:00,290
Now, to go along with this,
there's a workbook that helps
39
00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:03,210
parents teach these principles
and practices to their kids.
40
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:07,170
To find the book, go to
mormonrenegade.com, go to the
41
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:10,449
bottom of the page, search out
the blog post, and order your
42
00:02:10,449 --> 00:02:12,610
copy.
Today, I can bear personal
43
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:14,690
testimony from personal
experience.
44
00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:18,690
That this is an invaluable tool
to help you raise men and women
45
00:02:18,690 --> 00:02:42,940
of virtue and character.
You're listening to the Mormon
46
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:52,300
Renegade podcast.
Enoch, it's good to have you
47
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:54,220
back, man.
Thanks for having me.
48
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,940
Good to be back.
So last time we talked, you
49
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:00,860
would kind of talked about
having an idea, something that
50
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:06,340
would kind of help people get
through, I shouldn't say get
51
00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:10,060
through, help people be able to
kind of combat what is happening
52
00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:13,100
within their government.
And you weren't quite ready to
53
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:17,820
release that yet and you you
wanted to to kind of spruce some
54
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:21,690
things up, if you will.
And then release it after you
55
00:03:21,690 --> 00:03:23,810
gave a presentation.
So that's been done.
56
00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:27,210
So I'm, I'm super excited to
hear hear what the plan is.
57
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:31,890
So what's the plan?
So what is the plan loaded
58
00:03:31,890 --> 00:03:35,010
questions.
So let's give a little context
59
00:03:35,010 --> 00:03:38,090
and yeah, I'll I'll answer any
of your questions and get into
60
00:03:38,090 --> 00:03:41,690
details.
So you know we talked a little
61
00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:44,290
bit about the history of
defending Utah last time I
62
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:47,530
believe, but just kind of as a
as a summary.
63
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:52,420
You know, we spent a lot of time
laying the spiritual foundation
64
00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:55,380
for why the Constitution was
important and sacred, right?
65
00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:59,420
We've created a film
Constitution DV d.com has this
66
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:01,220
film Profits in the
Constitution.
67
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:06,300
Just laying the LDS case without
a shadow of a doubt that we have
68
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:09,300
a duty to defend the
Constitution all the way back
69
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:12,740
from Joseph Smith.
To do everyone up until the time
70
00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:15,380
you know that we had made it
showing that this wasn't even an
71
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,660
old thing.
It's like even been a consistent
72
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:23,850
message.
Generally up to this day and and
73
00:04:23,850 --> 00:04:27,490
so we've laid this foundation
for the spiritual need, the
74
00:04:27,490 --> 00:04:31,810
spiritual requirement as Mormons
for us to defend the
75
00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:34,850
Constitution.
And then we also laid the
76
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:42,450
spiritual foundations about why
it's under attack Okay who's
77
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:45,050
trying to destroy the
Constitution if we're supposed
78
00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:48,150
to defend it.
And that's where we put out a
79
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:50,910
lot of content over the years on
secret combinations.
80
00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:54,350
And we have a book, Utah Secret
Combinations.
81
00:04:54,670 --> 00:04:58,470
And so there's been a lot of
tools and resources we put out
82
00:04:58,470 --> 00:05:03,390
on the problem, with the problem
that we've always presented.
83
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:10,350
We've tried to give some idea of
what can we do about it, and
84
00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:13,110
that has evolved over the years.
What can we do about it?
85
00:05:14,030 --> 00:05:16,310
K so that the traditional thing
people.
86
00:05:17,010 --> 00:05:18,810
Think about when they think, you
know, I'm going to make a
87
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:20,650
difference.
Well, the first want to learn
88
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:23,570
about their candidates and how
do they vote smarter, right?
89
00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:25,570
And then they think, well, I can
actually go talk to my
90
00:05:25,570 --> 00:05:28,330
representatives and tell them I
don't like that law, right.
91
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:30,410
Or tell them they shouldn't pass
this law, right.
92
00:05:30,650 --> 00:05:33,010
And so there's all these layers
that a lot of people go through
93
00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:36,770
when they're trying to make a
difference in local government
94
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:40,410
to promote freedom.
And all these things are fine
95
00:05:40,530 --> 00:05:44,290
and dandy, but at the end of the
day.
96
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,440
People feel frustrated that
things are getting worse still
97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,560
because people have been trying
to do good things like this for
98
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,520
a very long time and there have
been some great successes over
99
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,800
the years.
In the 60s, you know, we there
100
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,360
was a lot of successes
nationally on anti communist
101
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,480
movements and so there's been
ups and downs over the years,
102
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,400
but it still seems like the
world is heading overall to
103
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,060
this, you know, destruction so.
If we have a duty to do
104
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:19,140
something to defend the
Constitution, the question that
105
00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,260
a lot of people have after
they've tried and they've been
106
00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:24,780
burned out and they're done with
politics, there's nothing we can
107
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:27,260
do or some people feel like,
well, we still should do
108
00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:29,900
something.
We've documented very well, we
109
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,060
have a duty, but what can you
do, right?
110
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:36,740
Someone can tell you their
history of how, you know they
111
00:06:36,740 --> 00:06:40,580
spent 30 years supporting some
organization and and helping get
112
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:43,100
people elected and you know
they're burned out.
113
00:06:43,690 --> 00:06:45,370
Right.
And so this is something that
114
00:06:45,370 --> 00:06:50,970
I've spent a lot of time on as
I've seen some successes and
115
00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:53,730
failures over the years.
Okay, let me stop you right
116
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:55,570
there because I have a few
questions here.
117
00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:58,850
One question.
But we we've seen these
118
00:06:58,850 --> 00:07:02,250
movements before, right?
We've saw the anti communist
119
00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:04,130
movement.
And then Reagan comes in and he
120
00:07:04,130 --> 00:07:07,810
pushes everything way back on
the scale of liberty towards
121
00:07:07,810 --> 00:07:08,970
liberty.
Yeah.
122
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:11,890
Then you have the Tea Party, and
then you have, like, the
123
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:14,290
neocons.
They're actually Communists.
124
00:07:14,530 --> 00:07:16,570
They're Trotskyites.
Right, exactly.
125
00:07:16,930 --> 00:07:20,570
My question is, is why were
these freedom movements not
126
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:22,930
successful?
What was it that they were
127
00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:25,290
lacking?
Well, I think the first
128
00:07:25,290 --> 00:07:26,930
movements were definitely
dealing with different
129
00:07:26,930 --> 00:07:29,170
environments.
The environments gotten harder
130
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:31,130
and worse.
The conspiracy against the
131
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:35,170
Constitution has grown stronger
and more powerful, and
132
00:07:35,170 --> 00:07:37,170
definitely as our culture has
changed.
133
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:42,830
Culture precedes legislation and
so the enemies of liberty use,
134
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:45,870
they go for the culture 1st and
then when the culture is ready
135
00:07:45,870 --> 00:07:48,750
they pass the things they want
to pass just at a high level
136
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:55,550
that that's how they see it.
So in the past culture was more
137
00:07:55,550 --> 00:07:58,830
on the side of liberty even
though we still had you know
138
00:07:58,830 --> 00:08:03,070
issues from time to time.
And also I think in the past
139
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:06,190
there was not an understanding
depends how far back you go but
140
00:08:06,190 --> 00:08:09,330
an understanding of.
What is the threat to liberty,
141
00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:11,570
right.
It's this grand conspiracy,
142
00:08:11,970 --> 00:08:16,570
which was one of the big gifts
of Robert Welch, founder of the
143
00:08:16,570 --> 00:08:20,050
John Birch Society, to the world
of really labeling that there's
144
00:08:20,050 --> 00:08:22,890
this global conspiracy.
He called it the communist
145
00:08:22,890 --> 00:08:25,010
conspiracy.
This was really the the root of
146
00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:30,010
the anti communist movement in
the 60s and they evolved that to
147
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:32,650
understand, wait, it's not
communism, it's actually this
148
00:08:32,690 --> 00:08:35,730
greater thing above communism
and.
149
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:40,299
And so that idea evolved over
time and I think even since then
150
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,780
it has evolved more which is
really a lot of what I've been
151
00:08:44,260 --> 00:08:49,580
looking at the last 10 years and
why now I've got this plan speak
152
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,580
right.
So what we were lacking in the
153
00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:55,860
past.
So actually see it's still since
154
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:58,340
the environment was different
it's not necessarily we were
155
00:08:58,340 --> 00:09:00,300
lacking things in the past
because again there were
156
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:08,790
successes today what we lack.
I think still without
157
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:13,190
understanding the enemy of
liberty, it's easy to get thrown
158
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:15,630
off, right?
So the reason people get burned
159
00:09:15,630 --> 00:09:18,670
out, they're begging their
legislators to do the right
160
00:09:18,670 --> 00:09:20,950
thing.
They're they're they're asking
161
00:09:20,950 --> 00:09:24,270
their City Council not, you
know, to pass that horrible tax.
162
00:09:24,270 --> 00:09:29,550
They're doing all these things.
But the enemies of liberty have
163
00:09:29,550 --> 00:09:32,480
their tentacles.
Everywhere to where people have
164
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,320
loyalties elsewhere.
Plus we have the culture that
165
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,160
doesn't actually understand the
Constitution.
166
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,640
So you do get decent people in
office from time to time or and
167
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,680
they've they've never
necessarily studied liberty
168
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,640
themselves.
Maybe through a Business
169
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,920
Association they decided to run
because their friend told them
170
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,080
to run.
Are they, You know there could
171
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,400
be so many different reasons why
people get involved.
172
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,440
So we have the culture that
doesn't understand liberty as
173
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,320
well and then we have a lack of
understanding of the enemies of
174
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,400
liberty.
Those are kind of two key
175
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,080
things, however I want to.
So that's like what we've said a
176
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,120
lot over the years with
defending Utah.
177
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,400
But I want to kind of take it a
step further and say with all
178
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:18,760
the understanding now of how the
seeker combinations function and
179
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,240
work and where they are and how
they get they implement their
180
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,360
plans against us, I can say that
even without a full
181
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,970
understanding.
Or maybe even no understanding
182
00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:33,370
at all that they exist.
You can still we can do
183
00:10:33,370 --> 00:10:35,050
something.
The founding fathers gave us a
184
00:10:35,050 --> 00:10:38,690
pattern.
K So I do think that if you're
185
00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:41,290
going to get involved in
politics, you need to understand
186
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:44,890
how secret combinations work.
Otherwise you're going to have
187
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:46,970
no clue what you're really
dealing with all the time in the
188
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:49,330
political game.
K So they're involved in the
189
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,650
politics game all the time.
But let's say you don't want to
190
00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:55,290
get involved in politics, you
just want to.
191
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,400
Keep the Constitution alive in
your neighborhoods.
192
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,280
You don't have to fully
understand who the enemies of
193
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,920
liberties of are or how they
work.
194
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,400
If you have a full solid
understanding of constitutional
195
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,480
principles, which I think is
incredibly rare even among those
196
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,640
that study it, right.
And so people need to realize
197
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:23,040
that if you have a full
understanding, then you can
198
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,490
simply execute.
The principles of the
199
00:11:27,490 --> 00:11:32,970
Constitution, correctly and
properly, and the secret
200
00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:35,570
combinations lose their power.
Okay.
201
00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:40,650
So there is this need.
You know, people talk a lot
202
00:11:40,650 --> 00:11:43,890
about the Second Coming and
there's this, there was this
203
00:11:43,890 --> 00:11:48,050
doctrine called the Rapture
Cult, or I call it the Rapture
204
00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:49,930
Cult, but it's the Rapture that
was introduced.
205
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:53,050
And we've done a couple
presentations over the years on
206
00:11:53,050 --> 00:11:55,330
what we call the Rapture Cult.
There's a book that came out
207
00:11:55,330 --> 00:11:57,520
called that.
OK, and it talks about how this
208
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,360
doctrine was introduced into
Christian society to get people
209
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,760
to not be involved in defending
liberty.
210
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Because who cares if the world
is getting evil?
211
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800
It doesn't matter.
You know, I want to explore that
212
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,840
just for a second.
Every time I do a podcast like
213
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,760
this one where I'm talking about
freedom, issues and liberty,
214
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,360
inevitably I get 5 or 6 emails
that say what does it matter?
215
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,160
What does this have to do with
Mormonism?
216
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,480
I'm going to tell you why it
matters because.
217
00:12:26,170 --> 00:12:29,570
Without the protections of the
Constitution, especially the
218
00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:32,490
Bill of Rights, when you start
talking about the 1st Amendment,
219
00:12:32,730 --> 00:12:37,290
I can't do this right.
I can't have you over in broad
220
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:41,570
daylight to have this
conversation because we have the
221
00:12:41,570 --> 00:12:44,330
1st Amendment, because we have
those protections.
222
00:12:44,650 --> 00:12:47,330
We can do it that way.
Now I'm certainly willing to
223
00:12:47,330 --> 00:12:50,070
meet.
Down in a basement somewhere.
224
00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:52,270
I'm willing to meet in the back
alley to have these
225
00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:55,990
conversations, but it makes it
real nice when when I can do
226
00:12:55,990 --> 00:13:00,030
this and get my voice out there
in a very easy way, right?
227
00:13:00,390 --> 00:13:04,630
So without it, we're we're just
kind of of left floating and
228
00:13:04,630 --> 00:13:07,630
hoping for the best.
Those guarantees that are made
229
00:13:07,630 --> 00:13:11,030
to us in the Constitution allow
us to do the things we're doing
230
00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:14,260
right here.
Also, I would like to say that
231
00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:17,700
oftentimes, especially as
Mormons, because of the White
232
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,740
Horse Prophecy and that sort of
thing, which which I I believe
233
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:25,100
in, we have this grand picture
that at some point we're just
234
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:26,820
going to ride out of the
mountains and save the
235
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:29,340
Constitution.
And I firmly believe that at
236
00:13:29,340 --> 00:13:32,940
some point that day will come.
But first I think what we have
237
00:13:32,940 --> 00:13:36,140
to do is we have to save it
locally and we got to save it at
238
00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:38,820
home first.
That's why, one of the reasons
239
00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:40,540
why we originally made that
film.
240
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,000
Prophets in the Constitution to
just make it unquestionable what
241
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,960
the doctrine and the advice and
the teachings have always been
242
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,920
and that they've addressed all
these the like.
243
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Ezra Taft Benson was great on
addressing the naysayers right.
244
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680
Here's the excuses they give for
why it doesn't matter.
245
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,480
And then he went and just
addressed every point and and
246
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,440
that's in our film.
So, so so these so kind of this
247
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,560
idea of the Rapture cult takes
on different forms.
248
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:18,400
And it's so the the the actual
doctrine is that as people
249
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,920
think, they can just run for the
hills, wait for Jesus, and then
250
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
then they'll join them in Zion,
right?
251
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:31,360
They'll all be happy in the end.
It's the doctrine is that Zion
252
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,120
will not be built until secret
combinations have been
253
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,240
destroyed.
Okay.
254
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,800
We have a duty to build
something because Christ must
255
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,600
have a people and a place to
come too.
256
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,120
If he has nowhere to come, he's
not going to come.
257
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,160
So, so thinking about this, the
Constitution was given to us and
258
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:59,040
inspired as a stepping stone to
something greater if we can't
259
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,960
master the lower laws, so to
speak, meaning working with
260
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,140
fellow Americans to.
Restore and defend the
261
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:10,820
constitution.
Then we are incapable of
262
00:15:11,180 --> 00:15:14,500
building Zion.
Zion has to exist where a free
263
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:20,420
government exists.
So going deep on that would be a
264
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,020
sort for another day.
But I just wanted to say, in
265
00:15:22,020 --> 00:15:26,340
general the constitution matters
because we cannot build Zion
266
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:30,300
without establishing freedom.
Isaiah chapter one talks about
267
00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:33,940
your solemn assemblies.
Are the Lord just just annoyed?
268
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:40,320
Right with the Israelites for
for all their ceremonies and all
269
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,640
the religious things that they
think they're doing that make
270
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,880
them so great when he says but
but in your land, your Princess
271
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,120
are friends with thieves and the
widow, you know that the
272
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,800
oppression of the widow, it
matters to him that there's
273
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,480
corruption in your land and
you're allowing it to go on.
274
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:04,630
So if we forego this duty.
And we allow all this sorrow and
275
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:08,590
all these bad things to happen
in our land, then whatever we do
276
00:16:08,590 --> 00:16:11,790
religiously isn't even
acceptable to him.
277
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:15,830
We have to be part of creating a
free government and know knowing
278
00:16:15,830 --> 00:16:17,550
how that works.
And that's what the Constitution
279
00:16:17,550 --> 00:16:19,550
was.
It was a gift from our founding
280
00:16:19,550 --> 00:16:22,750
fathers that they gave to us so
that then the gospel could roll
281
00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:27,550
forth and so on and so forth.
So now when I talk about the
282
00:16:27,550 --> 00:16:29,830
plan and I say if you can
execute the Constitution
283
00:16:29,830 --> 00:16:33,690
correctly then.
The secret combinations.
284
00:16:33,690 --> 00:16:38,850
Power dies Okay.
This is this is how you and you
285
00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:40,290
can't literally.
I don't.
286
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:42,170
I don't imagine you could
literally destroy them.
287
00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:44,730
What does that even mean right.
They're just private clubs all
288
00:16:44,730 --> 00:16:48,090
across the world and they'll
they'll always even have a right
289
00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:51,010
to associate privately under any
circumstance.
290
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:54,170
So what does that mean?
It's destroying their ability
291
00:16:54,490 --> 00:17:00,370
for what they do to matter in
our local communities and so the
292
00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:03,910
founding fathers pattern.
It shows us exactly how to do
293
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:06,670
that, Okay.
So it takes a little bit to
294
00:17:06,670 --> 00:17:10,550
understand, even if you have
studied the Constitution your
295
00:17:10,550 --> 00:17:14,230
whole lives to really see that
power that was given to us and
296
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:16,270
Doctrine and Covenants even
talks about, I'm going to read
297
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:19,630
from the DNC here and show you
the foundation for this plan,
298
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:24,109
some of these principles, Okay.
So a lot of people would say,
299
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:27,550
well, yeah, how about how do we
execute the Constitution when
300
00:17:27,550 --> 00:17:30,390
it's all corrupt people in
office when none of them listen
301
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:33,760
to us, right.
Because it feels that way.
302
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,440
It feels overwhelming.
The first thing I'd say is
303
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,840
sometimes you don't actually
know what's in their hearts.
304
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000
And if we follow the principles
and the Doctrine of Covenants,
305
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,840
you might find that we have
more, I want to say, more
306
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,400
friends than you realize or more
willing individuals than we
307
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,760
realize.
But there's some, there's a
308
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,690
process to kind of.
Figure that out, which is
309
00:17:58,690 --> 00:18:00,210
partially my what my handbook
does.
310
00:18:00,810 --> 00:18:02,610
But let's say the worst case
scenario.
311
00:18:02,610 --> 00:18:04,610
They're all corrupt.
OK, totally corrupt.
312
00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:10,490
There's nothing you can do.
The founding fathers protected
313
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:16,330
the rights for us to to create
something called Committees of
314
00:18:16,330 --> 00:18:21,450
Safety.
OK, now for the listeners, if
315
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:25,050
anyone wants to pause and sort
of get the full background
316
00:18:25,050 --> 00:18:28,690
before we talk about this.
I have two classes online that
317
00:18:28,690 --> 00:18:31,330
built up to this.
So when we last met, I hadn't
318
00:18:31,330 --> 00:18:35,010
given those classes yet.
They're now online and people
319
00:18:35,010 --> 00:18:36,650
can watch this.
So if you go to
320
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:42,970
defendingutah.org/solutions part
one and then you can also go to
321
00:18:42,970 --> 00:18:47,730
Solutions Part 2, these are two
classes in a row that kind of
322
00:18:48,570 --> 00:18:51,890
have have stepped ahead of what
we've talked about over the
323
00:18:51,890 --> 00:18:54,530
years from just kind of secret
combinations in the problem.
324
00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:59,370
And now I started to summarize
in our government how is the
325
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:02,690
problem manifesting.
And this has to do a lot with a
326
00:19:02,970 --> 00:19:06,130
shadow government that the UN is
building and the secret society
327
00:19:06,130 --> 00:19:09,290
support using regional
government entities.
328
00:19:09,290 --> 00:19:12,330
And so I break that down.
Solutions Part one and solutions
329
00:19:12,330 --> 00:19:17,850
Part 2 then shows introduces the
idea of committees of safety and
330
00:19:18,410 --> 00:19:22,560
the natural laws.
That they're based upon and how
331
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,200
they'll work, kind of
introducing that idea, Okay.
332
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,200
And so if you watch those two,
you'll kind of see a much better
333
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,640
presentation than me just
babbling right now to where I've
334
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,760
got slides and power, PowerPoint
and pictures, and I've thought
335
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,200
very carefully how I walk
through so people can follow.
336
00:19:40,540 --> 00:19:42,140
Are you good if I throw those
links in the?
337
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,460
Show definitely, Yeah, yeah.
Those, those those are links you
338
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:45,940
can chair around.
Absolutely.
339
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:47,620
I would like people to see
those.
340
00:19:47,860 --> 00:19:52,060
And if you feel inspired
watching those, please reach out
341
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:58,580
to us, join with us, you know,
we'll get these manuals and help
342
00:19:58,580 --> 00:20:02,380
us execute this.
And I'll tell you some successes
343
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:04,940
that we're already kind of
seeing some exciting things in
344
00:20:04,940 --> 00:20:08,780
the works.
But let me again before we get
345
00:20:08,780 --> 00:20:11,720
into all the details.
Let's I want to read in Doctrine
346
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,680
and Covenants.
Okay.
347
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,800
So the scripture I read, I read
a few different scriptures and I
348
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,920
presented at the Book of Mormon
Expo a couple months ago as well
349
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,680
as well as I presented
privately.
350
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,880
And I am also open to give this
as a cottage meeting in people's
351
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,960
homes so if people want to reach
out and invite their friends.
352
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:36,990
And I would love to teach them
about this solution and how it
353
00:20:36,990 --> 00:20:40,790
works and how we can defend the
Constitution without having to
354
00:20:40,790 --> 00:20:44,070
even get people in office.
You know, I think that's huge
355
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:49,070
because for a lot of years I was
a guy who was kind of looking
356
00:20:49,070 --> 00:20:52,830
for someone to fix this, right?
And so, like, I remember I was
357
00:20:52,830 --> 00:20:55,910
really inspired with with the
Tea Party when the Tea Party
358
00:20:55,910 --> 00:20:58,710
came along, right?
I thought, finally, here we go,
359
00:20:58,710 --> 00:21:00,590
we're going to be able to get
some stuff done.
360
00:21:01,310 --> 00:21:04,110
And a lot of them, not all of
them, but a lot of them ended up
361
00:21:04,110 --> 00:21:07,190
getting coopted.
And it's super frustrating.
362
00:21:07,550 --> 00:21:11,270
And it feels like every time we
send somebody good to
363
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:15,790
Washington, they end up getting,
I don't know, stained, I guess
364
00:21:16,030 --> 00:21:19,750
by by all the the, the
corruption that goes on there.
365
00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:24,150
Which is we when we do that.
It's a lazy way.
366
00:21:24,490 --> 00:21:27,610
To say let's find someone we
think we like and maybe it's not
367
00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:29,690
lazy when you're trying to get
them elected you feel like you
368
00:21:29,690 --> 00:21:32,090
worked your tail off but
ultimately it's intellectually
369
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:36,050
lazy and but also many of us are
ignorant and we think that's our
370
00:21:36,050 --> 00:21:38,250
only option.
We got to get good guys elected
371
00:21:39,130 --> 00:21:42,530
K the John Birch Society did a
great job of showing how that's
372
00:21:42,530 --> 00:21:44,610
putting the cart before the
horse if you don't change the
373
00:21:44,610 --> 00:21:47,890
culture K but I'm going to show
you know a little more if you've
374
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:51,250
got a if you've got and can
gather a small group of good
375
00:21:51,250 --> 00:21:54,580
people.
You can absolutely restore the
376
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:59,460
rule of the Constitution without
without getting any of your
377
00:21:59,460 --> 00:22:02,940
buddies elected without having
to go through this process okay
378
00:22:03,420 --> 00:22:11,060
and and and that's kind of the
difference the change and it
379
00:22:11,060 --> 00:22:14,500
takes a little bit of thinking
of the high level principles and
380
00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:17,620
and the manual that I have here
in front of us that I brought
381
00:22:17,620 --> 00:22:20,660
you a copy of right here.
It's it's a lot of.
382
00:22:22,990 --> 00:22:27,230
Practical tips that are all
meant to align with the
383
00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:32,590
principles that I'm going to be
talking about here and okay so
384
00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:37,790
Doctrine and Covenants 123 right
Joseph Smith has has been
385
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:42,230
lamenting, says duty of the
Saints in relation to their
386
00:22:42,550 --> 00:22:45,110
persecutors as written by Joseph
Smith the prophet while a
387
00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:48,150
prisoner in Liberty Jail.
So.
388
00:22:48,980 --> 00:22:52,540
See this as also not just a
Mormon thing, but here's an
389
00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:56,020
example of Joseph Smith
understanding the problem from
390
00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:59,420
the Saints perspective.
Right, All this prosecution and
391
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:02,860
tyranny and oppression that has
come upon them, but really,
392
00:23:02,860 --> 00:23:05,380
that's what all of America is
dealing with right now.
393
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:12,700
OK, so so these principles apply
neutrally, So he says.
394
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:15,060
And again, we would suggest in
verse one we would suggest for
395
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,370
your consideration.
Gathering up a knowledge of all
396
00:23:18,370 --> 00:23:21,370
the facts and suffering and
abuses put upon them by the
397
00:23:21,370 --> 00:23:24,610
people of this state.
So first step he's talking about
398
00:23:24,610 --> 00:23:29,250
here is how organized are how
how well does.
399
00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:31,570
Do we know all the things that
have actually even happened to
400
00:23:31,570 --> 00:23:33,330
us.
Have we documented them?
401
00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:36,330
Do we just complain about them?
Social media and we move on with
402
00:23:36,330 --> 00:23:37,810
our lives.
I mean, that's how it is.
403
00:23:37,810 --> 00:23:41,650
We complain, we forget the
enemies of liberty through the
404
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:45,620
media are really good at.
Pushing something and then
405
00:23:45,620 --> 00:23:48,180
letting go and maybe even making
us happy for a little bit and we
406
00:23:48,180 --> 00:23:51,620
don't care.
So here he's saying gathering up
407
00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:53,740
and understanding the problem is
important.
408
00:23:55,260 --> 00:23:57,860
If we're saying the
Constitution's been violated and
409
00:23:57,860 --> 00:24:03,980
is and is under threat, can you
point to specific details, not
410
00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:06,900
just your favorite headline from
your favorite, you know,
411
00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:12,580
newspaper online, but if you had
to go to court and someone said.
412
00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:16,210
OK, we'll fix the Constitution.
Show us where it's wrong.
413
00:24:16,770 --> 00:24:20,450
Could you bring forth something
that explains, oh, it's right
414
00:24:20,450 --> 00:24:22,210
here, right?
It's when this happened, and
415
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:23,370
here's why.
Here's the line in the
416
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:26,330
Constitution K How well have we
documented?
417
00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:28,490
Do we actually understand how
it's getting violated?
418
00:24:28,970 --> 00:24:30,730
Because I tell you, a lot of
times we don't.
419
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:33,730
The headlines are very abstract,
a lot of rhetoric.
420
00:24:33,730 --> 00:24:36,570
We just feel like something's
wrong, Something is wrong.
421
00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:39,970
But being able to do this is
kind of a first step.
422
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:42,850
Gather up the knowledge of all
the facts and the sufferings and
423
00:24:42,850 --> 00:24:44,550
abuses.
Okay.
424
00:24:44,870 --> 00:24:49,430
Then also the property that is
verse 2 property and amount of
425
00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:53,390
damages with that has been
sustained personal you know
426
00:24:53,390 --> 00:24:56,670
personal injuries real property
and the names of all the persons
427
00:24:56,670 --> 00:24:59,030
that have had a hand and the
oppressions and so forth.
428
00:24:59,510 --> 00:25:04,470
So Joseph Smith is saying in the
in this so he's talking about
429
00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:06,910
gathering all these things in
great detail.
430
00:25:06,990 --> 00:25:10,150
So what are we going to do with
these things once we once we've
431
00:25:10,150 --> 00:25:13,190
gathered them let's say you got
a stack of papers and.
432
00:25:13,550 --> 00:25:17,630
And you've interviewed all the
neighbors and you have exact
433
00:25:17,630 --> 00:25:20,990
testimony of what they are, of
things that have happened.
434
00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:26,670
Okay.
You've created verse four,
435
00:25:28,750 --> 00:25:31,990
perhaps a committee.
Very interesting word because
436
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:34,390
the founding fathers talked
about committees of safety and
437
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:38,670
and this is exactly in line with
the same principle, Perhaps the
438
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:42,390
committee can be appointed to
find out all these things.
439
00:25:43,090 --> 00:25:46,410
Okay.
So a research committee take
440
00:25:46,410 --> 00:25:50,690
statements and affidavits.
Gather up all the libelous
441
00:25:50,690 --> 00:25:54,050
publications that are afloat.
So affidavits why are what are
442
00:25:54,050 --> 00:25:57,890
affidavits?
An affidavit is a written
443
00:25:57,890 --> 00:26:01,050
statement that is admissible in
a court of law.
444
00:26:02,650 --> 00:26:05,810
So if you go into a court and
you raise your right hand and
445
00:26:05,810 --> 00:26:08,090
you say, I promise to tell the
truth, you're now under oath
446
00:26:08,370 --> 00:26:12,210
that that whatever you say is
true.
447
00:26:12,890 --> 00:26:19,210
And and OS, OK, I said that's, I
won't go on a tangent about OS.
448
00:26:19,250 --> 00:26:22,930
That was an interesting thought.
But like, people can lie under
449
00:26:22,930 --> 00:26:24,250
oath.
And and it was interesting.
450
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:25,690
People used to take their oath
seriously.
451
00:26:25,690 --> 00:26:30,170
Like, if someone swore under
God, right, It was understood
452
00:26:30,370 --> 00:26:32,810
this guy really believes God
will punish him if he lies,
453
00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:37,090
right?
But either way an affidavit is a
454
00:26:37,090 --> 00:26:41,090
sworn testimony, not in a
courtroom but outside a
455
00:26:41,090 --> 00:26:44,520
courtroom.
So the money outside of court,
456
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,720
because let's say you have a
court case and you got to prove
457
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,840
your side and you have 100
witnesses, but they all can't
458
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,680
show up to the court date at the
same time.
459
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,840
You can gather those testimonies
in advance.
460
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,480
And when you gather those
testimonies, how do you know
461
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,080
that they're true?
So today, affidavits to be
462
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,920
acceptable in court, you use a
notary, which is an office of
463
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,120
the state.
Anyone can be applying to come a
464
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:10,600
notary.
By the way, you don't be elected
465
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,480
to be 1.
And so a notary has an official
466
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,200
process.
This is a common law principle,
467
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,760
goes back thousands, at least
1000 years, I'm sure right, into
468
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,560
old England.
And the Greeks had some
469
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,440
actually, yeah, we we did an
article on on notaries recently.
470
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:34,800
And so the notary is an
independent person whose job is
471
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,600
to make sure that when somebody
signs a document, it's really
472
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040
them.
So that way it can be trusted.
473
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,080
So if I hand you a paper and
say, hey, here's the proof that
474
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,680
I did something, here's the
here's the contract that, you
475
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,000
know, I signed with your friend
that you've taken whatever it
476
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,120
is.
Business uses this all the time
477
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:55,920
in the world in order to trust
documents and say, well, it's
478
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,280
notarized and it's got two
witnesses on it.
479
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,640
That's good enough for me,
right?
480
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,360
And so there has to be a way in
the world for people to trust
481
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,160
documents.
For the world even function in a
482
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,400
healthy way, right.
And and that's how this came
483
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,840
about as a common law principle
and why it's still alive today
484
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,280
and it's still the way that
documents are trusted.
485
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,080
So that's what it's talking
about in the scriptures here in
486
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Doctrine Covenants 123.
Former committee take statements
487
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,880
and affidavits, affidavits of
all these problems.
488
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,160
So one job of a committee is
documenting grievances.
489
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,960
K so.
So when you put that's one job,
490
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,080
there's a few other jobs when
you put them all together.
491
00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:41,250
You'll start to see the, the,
the picture come forth.
492
00:28:41,730 --> 00:28:42,930
Okay.
So what do you do now?
493
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:45,210
You have all these affidavits.
You have these statements.
494
00:28:45,530 --> 00:28:47,130
Are you going to throw them in
the governor's face?
495
00:28:47,130 --> 00:28:49,730
And he's going to say, sorry,
I'm a bad guy, right.
496
00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:50,770
And and then we're done.
Right.
497
00:28:51,010 --> 00:28:52,890
So.
So there's there's more to the
498
00:28:52,890 --> 00:28:54,730
process, but you got to start
there.
499
00:28:55,250 --> 00:28:59,130
The founding fathers did this in
the Declaration of Independence.
500
00:28:59,130 --> 00:29:01,850
So they understood these natural
laws that I'm starting to
501
00:29:01,850 --> 00:29:06,290
explain here and they used them
and my my classes talk about
502
00:29:06,290 --> 00:29:09,330
that.
Okay the solutions part one and
503
00:29:09,330 --> 00:29:12,050
Part 2.
So they use these natural
504
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:17,290
processes.
So then here in a verse six,
505
00:29:17,410 --> 00:29:21,810
what are we going to do with
these documents and statements
506
00:29:21,810 --> 00:29:26,290
now that we may not only publish
to all the world.
507
00:29:26,290 --> 00:29:28,970
So first thing is publish it to
all the world.
508
00:29:29,850 --> 00:29:32,970
If you might have a lot of
people on your side that would
509
00:29:32,970 --> 00:29:35,260
agree with you.
That they're living their life,
510
00:29:35,260 --> 00:29:36,780
They're clueless, especially
back then.
511
00:29:36,780 --> 00:29:39,140
You know there's no Internet.
But even today, a mountain of
512
00:29:39,140 --> 00:29:42,420
disinformation, people don't
really understand the problems
513
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:43,980
that are happening.
You just, they just have a gut
514
00:29:43,980 --> 00:29:46,460
feeling things are wrong, but
they could never put their
515
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:48,460
finger on it.
So by being able to document and
516
00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:51,580
publish it, this is one of the
first laws of nature we have to
517
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:56,420
satisfy.
So publish to all the world and
518
00:29:57,260 --> 00:29:59,900
present them to the Heads of
Government in all their dark and
519
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:02,620
hellish shoe.
So we have a duty regardless of
520
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:07,380
who's in office.
To document these properly, Not
521
00:30:07,380 --> 00:30:10,900
with angry letters.
Not with our opinions of, you
522
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:15,900
know what Q said, you know.
Not with, not with.
523
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:18,420
We just know you're all
sacrificing children.
524
00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:20,740
You know you'll you better stop,
right?
525
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:25,980
Like not with ridiculous things,
with things that are that are
526
00:30:26,620 --> 00:30:31,100
would would be admissible in a
court of law that a judge could
527
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:34,400
look at and couldn't deny.
Right at that level of
528
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,320
intelligence.
OK, so present them to the Heads
529
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,160
of Government and all their dark
and hellish shoe.
530
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Why?
As the last effort which is
531
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:50,080
enjoined on us, required by us
by our Heavenly Father before he
532
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,480
can fully and or before we can
fully and completely claim that
533
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,920
promise.
OK, so by doing this we are able
534
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,080
to claim a promise.
There is a spiritual.
535
00:31:00,980 --> 00:31:03,540
Blessing.
By for doing this properly okay,
536
00:31:03,980 --> 00:31:08,180
we can fully claim a promise.
What is the promise?
537
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:13,420
The promise which shall call him
forth from His hiding place.
538
00:31:13,740 --> 00:31:18,580
So if we want God to come out
with miracles on behalf of
539
00:31:18,580 --> 00:31:23,220
liberty to to support us the
same miracles that we saw the
540
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:27,180
founding Fathers have right the
wind that blew the ships back to
541
00:31:27,180 --> 00:31:29,740
London.
George Washington couldn't be
542
00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:31,940
hurt by a bullet.
You know of all these the
543
00:31:31,940 --> 00:31:34,060
miracles we hear about in the
founding era.
544
00:31:35,580 --> 00:31:38,340
If we want those kinds of
miracles to support liberty, we
545
00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:43,060
have to go through this process
to fully claim and complete, to
546
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:45,500
fully and completely claim that
promise which will call him
547
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:49,580
forth from his hiding place.
And also OK, so this is how the
548
00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:53,460
Lord comes back, comes with to
help fight our battles for us
549
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:56,930
then.
Also that the whole nation may
550
00:31:56,930 --> 00:32:00,930
be left without excuse before he
can send forth the power of His
551
00:32:00,930 --> 00:32:06,010
mighty arm.
So it is important that the that
552
00:32:06,010 --> 00:32:10,330
the nation at the at the time,
but even now the tyrants that
553
00:32:10,330 --> 00:32:14,290
are taking our liberty.
It is so important to God
554
00:32:14,290 --> 00:32:19,730
himself and to satisfy the laws
of nature that people are left
555
00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:23,490
without excuse.
Ignorance is a big excuse.
556
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Not, you know, not knowing and
understanding.
557
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,880
You know, I used to think, you
know, what's the point of
558
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,360
convincing A tyrant that they're
a tyrant?
559
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,280
OK, maybe we'll convince him and
he'll do the right thing.
560
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,000
And we definitely found that
over over the years, enough
561
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,680
pressure on a tyrant will make
him do the right thing because
562
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,240
people are watching and there
isn't a natural law with that.
563
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:59,400
OK, but.
Consider also Christ gave the
564
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,320
parable of the unjust judge K
The judge didn't care about this
565
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:09,080
old lady's problems at all, but
because she weary me, I will
566
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:14,600
avenge her K So there's a
principle in that, even with
567
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,360
tyrants, that the way we deal
with our government.
568
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,760
You know that there are, there
are principles here that we have
569
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,640
to follow.
So presenting them to the Heads
570
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,600
of Government and that's how we
call forth all the prayers we
571
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,920
have.
We're praying for the nation.
572
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,720
We're praying for miracles heal
the nation.
573
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,560
We haven't followed this
pattern.
574
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,960
You're 100% correct.
And and let me say this too,
575
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,600
right, because I think this kind
of goes along with it is we
576
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,000
haven't followed the pattern
that has been given us, but yet
577
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,720
there is a tremendous amount of
people who are like well, when
578
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,130
do we get to take up arms?
And my, my response to that is
579
00:33:54,250 --> 00:33:57,930
not yet, not ever.
Hopefully not ever.
580
00:33:58,170 --> 00:34:01,930
Because as soon as we do, we
know we're done, right?
581
00:34:01,930 --> 00:34:03,610
The Republic as we know it is
done.
582
00:34:03,970 --> 00:34:07,330
They will come down from on top
and they will, they they will
583
00:34:07,330 --> 00:34:10,969
absolutely crush us.
So no, we saw what they did just
584
00:34:10,969 --> 00:34:15,010
with January 6th, right.
And that, you know, look at how
585
00:34:15,010 --> 00:34:18,370
hard they came down on that.
Which was all fraudulent anyway,
586
00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:22,260
and I definitely believe.
It is totally unnecessary.
587
00:34:22,980 --> 00:34:25,900
And if we follow these steps,
I've been more and more
588
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:29,540
convinced to that is is horrible
as our situation seems.
589
00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:31,739
It's not about elections, like I
was saying.
590
00:34:32,380 --> 00:34:36,300
It's about the ability to
organize and these committees of
591
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:39,739
safety and then start to learn
the natural principles of what
592
00:34:39,739 --> 00:34:44,420
you do as you organize.
In my manual I have I have a
593
00:34:44,580 --> 00:34:47,260
listing the legal basis of a
committee of safety.
594
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:50,020
OK, for inherent rights that are
protected by the Founding
595
00:34:50,020 --> 00:34:52,500
Fathers.
Remember, the founding Fathers
596
00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:55,780
had the same problem.
They had no representation.
597
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:58,700
They couldn't get a guy elected,
so to speak.
598
00:35:00,380 --> 00:35:02,220
They've solved this problem
already.
599
00:35:03,020 --> 00:35:05,660
They first they solved this
problem, and then they
600
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:09,460
constituted a new government in
1787 through the Constitution.
601
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:13,660
We only have to do half of that.
We don't have to constitute a
602
00:35:13,660 --> 00:35:15,580
new government.
We only have to solve the
603
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:17,460
problem of why we're not being
represented.
604
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,680
Right.
Effectively, no, That makes
605
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,440
sense.
And once we get there, we don't
606
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,160
have to change the Constitution.
We don't have to, you know hold
607
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,120
a new convention for a new
national constitution.
608
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,040
Now, I I will agree that at the
state levels, we, we have good
609
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,160
constitutions across the country
at the states, but then there's
610
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,480
a lot of nonsense here and there
sprinkled in to the various
611
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,300
state constitutions and.
But before we can complain about
612
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:49,100
the bad things in the state
constitutions, we have to
613
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:52,180
enforce the good things.
We we have to show that we even
614
00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:54,540
understand what's good in there.
Because if you think you're
615
00:35:54,540 --> 00:35:58,220
going to change something and
create something new, but you
616
00:35:58,220 --> 00:36:01,180
don't even know what was good
and what we had, you're not
617
00:36:01,180 --> 00:36:02,900
going to create something
better, OK.
618
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:06,960
So we have to enforce what we
have. 1st and then you can talk
619
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,440
about, gosh, that one part of
the Constitution is kind of
620
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,040
messed up or it conflicts with
our rights over here.
621
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,600
In fact, I think a lot of the
bad things in our state
622
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,400
constitution, that's exactly how
you can identify them.
623
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,520
They will conflict with a
different part of the same
624
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,480
Constitution that is good.
And so when you see that, you'll
625
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,120
find that, you know, natural
laws can can trump, but it's
626
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,560
kind of a different
conversation.
627
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:37,500
So when you organize.
The the legal basis of a
628
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:41,300
Committee of Safety, you know,
what right do we have to form
629
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:43,740
and call ourselves a committee
and that, that we're
630
00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:47,380
representing ourselves.
And let me actually clarify too.
631
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:50,940
Committees of Safety were
understood in the founding era
632
00:36:50,940 --> 00:36:54,860
and for decades after the
founding era because they were
633
00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:59,740
used to institute new government
in the days of the colonists.
634
00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:02,980
OKA Committee of Safety.
In fact, let me read this.
635
00:37:04,140 --> 00:37:10,060
This is a great statement from
the National Liberty Alliance in
636
00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:11,940
the manual.
I have a history of committees
637
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:22,980
Section okay Committees of
Safety existed prior to 1692 and
638
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:26,700
and we're and right now I'm
quoting a manual from the
639
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:29,580
National Liberty Alliance here.
Committees of Safety existed
640
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:32,740
prior to 1692 and were called by
various names.
641
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,360
So it's also a principle, even
if they weren't always called
642
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,800
that the committee which was
created in that year in New York
643
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,200
is significant in that it was
created by the militia.
644
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,760
The colonists were dissatisfied
with the government of the
645
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,600
Crown, headed by British
Governor Sir Edmund Andros.
646
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:54,760
But recognizing that the militia
authority must always be
647
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,720
subordinate to civil authority,
okay, militias can't just run
648
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:01,320
off and do what they want.
They they have, they're they're
649
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,040
governed by the existing
government.
650
00:38:03,790 --> 00:38:08,270
So, recognizing that and having
serious concern over the abuse
651
00:38:08,270 --> 00:38:11,670
of authority imposed by the
British Governor, the militia of
652
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:16,190
New York created their own civil
authority in the form of a
653
00:38:16,190 --> 00:38:18,990
Committee of Safety.
Representation on the committee
654
00:38:18,990 --> 00:38:22,150
was based upon 2 delegates being
elected by the citizenry who had
655
00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:24,870
public elections to represent
each community.
656
00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:28,230
The delegates gathered and
exercised their authority by
657
00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:30,850
eventually.
Imprisoning the governor for a
658
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:33,770
period of a year on and off,
Many communities, colonies, and
659
00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:37,250
provinces exercise their right
of selfgovernment by
660
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:39,850
establishing committees as the
need arose.
661
00:38:40,410 --> 00:38:44,010
So this is 1692.
This is littered throughout
662
00:38:44,010 --> 00:38:47,690
American history and one of the
strongest things that has been
663
00:38:47,690 --> 00:38:50,690
forgotten.
And there's a there's a story in
664
00:38:50,690 --> 00:38:54,370
the Journal of Discourses about
Joseph Smith being saved by a
665
00:38:54,370 --> 00:38:56,970
committee of safety from an
overzealous sheriff.
666
00:38:57,810 --> 00:38:59,450
OK.
So I got a quick question then.
667
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:03,610
Were these committees like
formed historically to deal with
668
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:07,210
certain issues and they'd be
called and then they would
669
00:39:07,210 --> 00:39:10,250
disband?
Or was this kind of a, I don't
670
00:39:10,250 --> 00:39:14,010
know, for lack of a better term,
a neighborhood watch for
671
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:16,890
constitutional issues?
What were the mechanisms that
672
00:39:16,890 --> 00:39:21,210
set these up?
So as I just read here right
673
00:39:21,210 --> 00:39:23,130
they they had a problem.
So that was triggered by a
674
00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:27,680
specific problem.
And and I think overall it they
675
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,520
were facing these constant
problems.
676
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,840
So it was something that caught
on and definitely over time it
677
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,880
was understood that it needed to
be a standing neighborhood watch
678
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,640
for the Constitution, so to
speak.
679
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,120
Okay, we talk all the time in
constitutional lingo that the
680
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,160
people are the source of the
power, right.
681
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,320
But what's the enforcement arm
for that power?
682
00:39:51,540 --> 00:39:55,700
K now I talk I talk about that
in the solutions part one class.
683
00:39:55,980 --> 00:40:00,660
I talk about well it's it's the
people but it's also the
684
00:40:00,660 --> 00:40:04,060
government itself checks and
balances on each other but what
685
00:40:04,060 --> 00:40:07,060
happens when all the checks and
balances are broken the people
686
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:10,700
have the authority to institute
a civil authority that
687
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:14,500
represents them if they're not
getting representation.
688
00:40:15,220 --> 00:40:18,860
K now now the there a lot of
questions can arise from that
689
00:40:18,860 --> 00:40:20,700
and what that means you know
and.
690
00:40:21,020 --> 00:40:25,180
And can every Joe in his
basement just decide he's, you
691
00:40:25,180 --> 00:40:29,540
know has some authority and so
there are natural laws you have
692
00:40:29,540 --> 00:40:35,060
to follow in order for that to
be acknowledged.
693
00:40:35,420 --> 00:40:38,980
But but think small K so
mentally start very small to
694
00:40:38,980 --> 00:40:41,820
understand the committee and
then I'll get into these foreign
695
00:40:41,820 --> 00:40:45,820
rights on the legal basis of a
committee K thinking very small
696
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:50,060
you as an individual have the
right to.
697
00:40:50,870 --> 00:40:54,310
Demand your rights.
Okay someone comes to your door
698
00:40:54,310 --> 00:40:56,310
and knocks on it and says we
want to search your home.
699
00:40:56,790 --> 00:41:00,390
You individually can say you
can't search my home without a
700
00:41:00,390 --> 00:41:01,750
warrant.
I know my rights.
701
00:41:02,750 --> 00:41:06,550
No one would question today that
that you have the right that's
702
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:10,110
pretty common even today that
people understand that and and
703
00:41:10,110 --> 00:41:13,350
it would be acknowledged right.
The officers say okay and
704
00:41:13,630 --> 00:41:15,390
because they do that all the
time where they just they're
705
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:18,230
hoping to just gain consent.
They're curious they're
706
00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:21,460
investigating something.
And if you'll let them that
707
00:41:21,460 --> 00:41:23,100
they'll search all day and
night.
708
00:41:23,140 --> 00:41:25,620
You know they'll go neighborhood
if neighbor, they'll go house to
709
00:41:25,620 --> 00:41:27,940
house in a neighborhood if they
think they're going to find
710
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:30,340
something.
But anyone that says, well, if
711
00:41:30,340 --> 00:41:33,060
you had a warrant, sorry, can't
help you today and you can
712
00:41:33,060 --> 00:41:37,220
politely assert your rights you
had the legal authority to
713
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:39,340
enforce the constitution in that
moment.
714
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:44,660
Does that make sense as an
individual K So as a as a father
715
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:47,580
you also let's think let's grow
it a little bit bigger.
716
00:41:48,090 --> 00:41:51,290
You have the right to enforce
the the rights for your whole
717
00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:53,890
family, right?
Head of household, you will say,
718
00:41:53,890 --> 00:41:56,610
you know what?
Our family doesn't go along with
719
00:41:56,610 --> 00:42:00,930
such and such because it
violates the law and the
720
00:42:00,930 --> 00:42:01,810
Constitution.
Right?
721
00:42:01,970 --> 00:42:03,610
Right.
And so forth.
722
00:42:03,610 --> 00:42:06,970
OK, so if you understand you
have that power as one
723
00:42:06,970 --> 00:42:10,210
household, your neighbor can
also understand he has that
724
00:42:10,210 --> 00:42:12,850
power as an individual
household, right?
725
00:42:13,330 --> 00:42:16,350
Same with the next neighbor.
So if you have a whole
726
00:42:16,350 --> 00:42:21,630
neighborhood, you got 20 houses
on your street, you 20 can get
727
00:42:21,630 --> 00:42:28,590
together and say, you know, as
individual household households.
728
00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:32,110
Can't get enough of the Mormon
Renegade podcast?
729
00:42:32,270 --> 00:42:35,030
Well, good news, we're on
Patreon and there's three
730
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:36,510
packages that you can choose
from.
731
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:40,190
The first one, the Slightly
Rowdy package, allows you to
732
00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:43,190
hear the podcast without all
those pesky commercials getting
733
00:42:43,190 --> 00:42:45,420
in the way.
For those who want a slightly
734
00:42:45,420 --> 00:42:48,860
more indepth experience, there's
the Stirring It Up package where
735
00:42:48,860 --> 00:42:52,660
you can hear adfree audio,
adfree video and transcripts.
736
00:42:53,180 --> 00:42:56,540
Finally, for those who want to
go full Renegade, that package
737
00:42:56,540 --> 00:42:59,220
is available to where you can
get everything in the previous
738
00:42:59,220 --> 00:43:03,300
two packages, plus an extra show
where myself and Ben Winfield
739
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:06,420
break down the news of the day
from a very Mormon point of
740
00:43:06,420 --> 00:43:08,460
view.
You will also get exclusive
741
00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:11,950
access to Renegade chat.
And on there you'll be able to
742
00:43:11,950 --> 00:43:14,710
talk to others about the show or
whatever topics are on your
743
00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:17,590
mind.
Go to Patreon today and get your
744
00:43:17,590 --> 00:43:20,070
exclusive content.
This is on your street.
745
00:43:21,230 --> 00:43:27,310
You 20 can get together and say,
you know, as individual
746
00:43:27,310 --> 00:43:32,870
household households, we we
don't want to go along with any
747
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:35,190
of this lockdown nonsense, for
example, right?
748
00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:40,440
Or whatever It is K and so.
You could all 20 say we're not
749
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,640
going to do it together or you
could all say, you know what,
750
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,280
Dave, you've got the most free
time.
751
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,880
We elect you to sort of
represent our neighborhood and
752
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,720
you go tell the city, we're not,
we're not doing this.
753
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,920
You have all the legal authority
to represent this neighborhood,
754
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,760
to go to the city and declare
your rights K but and now you're
755
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,880
starting to grow, strengthen
numbers.
756
00:44:05,740 --> 00:44:08,580
Does that make sense?
Now you do not have the
757
00:44:08,580 --> 00:44:13,220
authority to make up any rule
you want, but what you do have
758
00:44:13,220 --> 00:44:16,620
is all the authority in the
Constitution weak?
759
00:44:16,900 --> 00:44:20,500
That is already the law.
The Constitution is the voice of
760
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,100
the people.
I have a whole section on that
761
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:22,980
in the manual.
Okay.
762
00:44:22,980 --> 00:44:26,620
We need to understand that.
What is the voice of the people
763
00:44:26,620 --> 00:44:29,220
when we say the people control
our government?
764
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:34,380
If it's just the loudest voice
how who can make the most phone
765
00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:37,220
calls to your legislator, then
we're democracy.
766
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:39,940
That's the mob.
And in fact, you'll hear this in
767
00:44:39,940 --> 00:44:44,020
actual democracies, in Europe,
you know the most people who say
768
00:44:44,020 --> 00:44:45,620
something that that's kind of
how they see it.
769
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:48,860
But yet we as a Republic say the
voice of the people rules.
770
00:44:48,860 --> 00:44:51,220
So how are we different from a
democracy then?
771
00:44:51,780 --> 00:44:55,540
Because the voice of the people
got together a long time ago.
772
00:44:56,430 --> 00:44:59,750
And when they and so that was
somewhat democratic, they they
773
00:44:59,750 --> 00:45:03,990
elected representatives to a
constitutional convention.
774
00:45:04,990 --> 00:45:08,830
That was the people at the
convention who then wrote down
775
00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:11,270
what the voice of the people is
in that document.
776
00:45:12,070 --> 00:45:14,710
So the Constitution is the voice
of the people.
777
00:45:15,430 --> 00:45:19,430
Every individual has the
authority to enforce that
778
00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:25,010
document on on the government.
And and our representatives in
779
00:45:25,010 --> 00:45:28,690
office have the authority to
enforce that on on a different
780
00:45:29,850 --> 00:45:31,330
government office that's
breaking it.
781
00:45:31,330 --> 00:45:34,850
That's where checks and balances
come in K so.
782
00:45:35,130 --> 00:45:39,170
So a committee of safety is
simply the right of the people
783
00:45:39,170 --> 00:45:43,130
to assemble that we have.
That's the first principle, your
784
00:45:43,130 --> 00:45:46,850
right to petition for redress so
you can assemble as a community
785
00:45:47,010 --> 00:45:49,730
and you can tell the government
they're causing problems and you
786
00:45:49,730 --> 00:45:52,490
can document how they're causing
these problems and so forth.
787
00:45:54,100 --> 00:45:56,060
K, when you petition for
redress, you know one of the
788
00:45:56,060 --> 00:45:59,900
principles we read here in DNC
Don't just publish them to one
789
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:03,140
officer, publish them to the
whole neighborhood.
790
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:06,300
Get the whole neighborhood on
board, educating the community
791
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:08,060
on what their rights are.
Hey, you don't have to listen to
792
00:46:08,060 --> 00:46:10,940
these lockdowns.
You have the right to be open if
793
00:46:10,940 --> 00:46:16,540
you want, you know, K And so
there's also the right of
794
00:46:16,540 --> 00:46:19,660
contract in the Constitution,
which is your ability to
795
00:46:19,660 --> 00:46:22,460
associate.
So if you are as a community get
796
00:46:22,460 --> 00:46:25,700
together and you want to be a
little more formal, you already
797
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:28,100
have the right to do this
casually as we've just kind of
798
00:46:28,100 --> 00:46:29,020
walked through.
Right.
799
00:46:29,020 --> 00:46:30,740
So you want to be a little more
formal.
800
00:46:30,980 --> 00:46:34,540
You can associate even
contractually, you can create a
801
00:46:34,540 --> 00:46:36,700
charter.
You can say we are a committee
802
00:46:36,820 --> 00:46:40,700
of we are, we are the 5th Oram S
committee.
803
00:46:40,980 --> 00:46:45,580
You know we're we're the Sandy
UT committee from 7000.
804
00:46:45,580 --> 00:46:47,180
E right, Whatever you want to
call it.
805
00:46:47,380 --> 00:46:49,220
You're kind of claiming a
jurisdiction.
806
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,040
And you're saying this is who we
represent.
807
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,800
And if you've, you know,
gathered your neighbors together
808
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,440
and you kind of picked who's
going to represent you, then
809
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,800
great, right.
Then you followed all these
810
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,200
natural law, these natural law
steps.
811
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,640
So you can see that there's
there is authority, there is a
812
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:10,280
there is an honest authority to
represent the people.
813
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,920
Again, you don't write your own
laws, but you enforce the
814
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,040
existing law and being that the
government is breaking these
815
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,530
laws all the time.
There's a lot to do and there's
816
00:47:21,530 --> 00:47:23,050
a there's a lot you can write
about.
817
00:47:23,050 --> 00:47:26,530
There's a lot you know and you
know you can start small and and
818
00:47:26,530 --> 00:47:28,690
and there's that's why I say
there's a lot of practical steps
819
00:47:28,690 --> 00:47:32,170
in here on how to go about this
as you publish to your
820
00:47:32,170 --> 00:47:34,130
neighbors.
This is kind of also the
821
00:47:34,130 --> 00:47:38,130
difference between a mob of
people demanding something
822
00:47:38,370 --> 00:47:40,930
versus gaining some authority
with your neighbors.
823
00:47:41,770 --> 00:47:44,130
When you go to your neighbors,
if you were complaining about
824
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:47,390
how they hurt Trump.
You're just seen as a political
825
00:47:47,390 --> 00:47:49,950
activist, right?
Or Black Lives Matters.
826
00:47:50,270 --> 00:47:54,030
They go to the neighborhood and
and they said, you know, some
827
00:47:54,030 --> 00:47:58,670
left wing rhetoric, so to speak,
you're you're not exercising
828
00:47:58,670 --> 00:48:00,110
authority to represent all the
people.
829
00:48:00,470 --> 00:48:04,550
But when you stick to the
Constitution, fundamental rights
830
00:48:04,550 --> 00:48:07,950
we all have, you know, the same
rights to protect our children
831
00:48:07,950 --> 00:48:10,670
and so forth, you are
representing all the people.
832
00:48:10,670 --> 00:48:13,230
So it's very important that
these organizations stick
833
00:48:13,230 --> 00:48:15,270
exactly to constitutional
issues.
834
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:19,140
Because when you do that, you
completely sidestep the whole
835
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:21,740
left right game, that this is
the communist divide and
836
00:48:21,740 --> 00:48:23,940
conquer.
Okay, I think I'm starting to
837
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:27,500
see here.
So politics, they're they're
838
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:29,220
fluid.
They always change.
839
00:48:29,220 --> 00:48:31,700
They're never static and they're
never clear.
840
00:48:32,180 --> 00:48:35,380
So if if we ground ourselves in
principle.
841
00:48:36,020 --> 00:48:40,580
We know that that that's going
to always be our polar star, so
842
00:48:40,580 --> 00:48:42,980
to speak.
So what you're saying is, is by
843
00:48:42,980 --> 00:48:45,500
grounding ourselves in the
Constitution, we're grounding
844
00:48:45,500 --> 00:48:49,420
ourselves in principle and those
principles don't ever change.
845
00:48:49,780 --> 00:48:51,300
Yeah.
So you're not political at all.
846
00:48:51,660 --> 00:48:56,460
So the the last principle that
is in the national constitution,
847
00:48:56,460 --> 00:48:58,740
the state constitution is the
right.
848
00:48:58,740 --> 00:49:01,180
It's written there.
It's the law that that the
849
00:49:01,180 --> 00:49:05,260
people have the right to alter
or reform their government now.
850
00:49:06,050 --> 00:49:10,290
There is no details on how they
do that.
851
00:49:11,050 --> 00:49:15,890
Okay, but it is the people's
right now I wouldn't recommend
852
00:49:17,810 --> 00:49:20,050
again, we're not doing what the
founding fathers did.
853
00:49:20,570 --> 00:49:23,930
We're not abolishing and
creating something new.
854
00:49:23,930 --> 00:49:29,090
We have an amazing roadmap that
we can follow and so we we have
855
00:49:29,090 --> 00:49:32,810
a duty to really read and
understand every line.
856
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,140
Of our Constitution and why it's
there?
857
00:49:35,260 --> 00:49:38,020
Because each one was debated
well, and that is the voice of
858
00:49:38,020 --> 00:49:39,660
the people.
You cannot uphold it if you
859
00:49:39,660 --> 00:49:41,380
don't understand every single
line.
860
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:45,260
And I read through it countless
times and I still learn new
861
00:49:45,260 --> 00:49:46,940
things.
And a lot of the lot of the new
862
00:49:46,940 --> 00:49:48,980
things I learned come from
historical context.
863
00:49:48,980 --> 00:49:52,460
You know, we have, we have a
weekly class with Dr. Scott
864
00:49:52,460 --> 00:49:56,780
Bradley who has more historical
context on the Constitution than
865
00:49:56,860 --> 00:50:00,670
anyone I've ever met.
And I I I learned things from
866
00:50:00,670 --> 00:50:01,910
him.
I just learned the other week
867
00:50:01,910 --> 00:50:04,190
the difference between oath or
affirmation and why that
868
00:50:04,190 --> 00:50:05,710
mattered to a lot of people.
Right.
869
00:50:05,790 --> 00:50:07,150
I just never thought about it
before.
870
00:50:07,950 --> 00:50:11,030
But it says, you know, that this
constitution shall be supported
871
00:50:11,030 --> 00:50:12,750
by oath or affirmation.
Why?
872
00:50:13,830 --> 00:50:15,790
OK, so I want.
In fact that's a really good
873
00:50:16,070 --> 00:50:16,750
segue.
I can.
874
00:50:16,750 --> 00:50:19,910
I can explain a step here on
some powers that the committees
875
00:50:19,910 --> 00:50:23,670
have.
So imagine in government, why is
876
00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:27,310
it that checks and balances
exist.
877
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:32,800
The founding fathers talked
about how government, this free
878
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,720
government, will maintain and
sell itself because ambition
879
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:40,680
will check ambition.
So when the executive department
880
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,960
doesn't like what the
legislative department does,
881
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,400
they are legally bound.
They can appeal to the higher
882
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,520
law, the Constitution, and say
I'm not going to sign that, you
883
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,200
know law, or I'm going to ignore
your executive order.
884
00:50:57,610 --> 00:50:59,530
Right.
Or the county could tell the
885
00:50:59,530 --> 00:51:03,090
state we're not going to go
along with these lockdowns
886
00:51:03,090 --> 00:51:05,930
because appeal to this
constitution.
887
00:51:06,090 --> 00:51:08,490
The emergency powers of the
constitution talk about how you
888
00:51:08,490 --> 00:51:10,210
know things that they they can't
do.
889
00:51:10,650 --> 00:51:14,970
And so by by each government
officer being sworn by oath or
890
00:51:14,970 --> 00:51:18,530
affirmation to support that
document that is the legal
891
00:51:18,530 --> 00:51:21,930
fundamental basis for why
government officials can ignore
892
00:51:21,930 --> 00:51:26,210
other government officials.
And so as a committee when you.
893
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,600
When you approach your local
representatives, your sheriff,
894
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,960
your City Councilman, and you've
established a relationship with
895
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,800
them, and they know that you're
intelligent and you're bringing
896
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,240
them things that are thoughtful
and wise, you're coming to them
897
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:45,800
not as hey you oathbreaker, how
dare you be so tyrannical?
898
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,240
You're not doing that, which is
what we're always tempted to do.
899
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,320
And sometimes we feel like they
deserve it, and some of them
900
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,040
definitely do, but what you're
doing is.
901
00:51:54,470 --> 00:51:57,350
Listen to the wisdom of the
founders appeal to their
902
00:51:57,350 --> 00:51:59,870
ambition.
Okay.
903
00:51:59,870 --> 00:52:06,670
Ambition checks ambition.
So you say, Hey sheriff, we want
904
00:52:06,670 --> 00:52:11,670
we're here to help you maintain
your authority because that is
905
00:52:11,670 --> 00:52:13,830
what the oath to the
Constitution is all about.
906
00:52:15,310 --> 00:52:18,590
Okay, we're here to help you.
And so here are constitutional
907
00:52:18,590 --> 00:52:22,710
grievances that are well
documented from the people and.
908
00:52:23,710 --> 00:52:28,750
You can show him that you've got
30 organizations that have seen
909
00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:32,190
this and that have signed, you
know, on it.
910
00:52:32,470 --> 00:52:34,590
You can show that you've got,
you know, thousands of
911
00:52:34,590 --> 00:52:36,670
supporters.
You've got, you know, the head
912
00:52:36,670 --> 00:52:39,870
of the Health Freedom Club,
you've got the head of, you
913
00:52:39,870 --> 00:52:42,470
know, the soccer club, the PTA,
whatever it is, right.
914
00:52:42,470 --> 00:52:45,030
There's a lot of, you know,
tools and tips that that I've
915
00:52:45,030 --> 00:52:46,710
talked about.
But when you show him, the
916
00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:49,350
people have come to him with a
grievance and what they're
917
00:52:49,350 --> 00:52:53,200
saying is.
The state is doing these things
918
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,760
to us.
The federal government's doing
919
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,240
this to us.
Sheriff, we need you to do this.
920
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,320
Here is the legal affidavit,
sworn testimony admissible in
921
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,720
court for what is happening to
us as a people.
922
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,920
You now give it to the Heads of
Government as the scriptures
923
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:12,720
talk about.
Appeal to their ambition that
924
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:18,400
all these people are behind them
when they execute well on their
925
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,980
oath of office to to.
To then take the next step.
926
00:53:24,100 --> 00:53:26,860
You know, I think you bring up
an interesting point here too,
927
00:53:27,460 --> 00:53:33,580
because so often we are quick to
just jump on the guys who aren't
928
00:53:34,420 --> 00:53:38,940
protecting our constitutional
rights and as we should, but
929
00:53:38,940 --> 00:53:43,660
we're kind of slow to get behind
the guys who are actually doing
930
00:53:43,660 --> 00:53:46,620
the job that that we hired them
to do.
931
00:53:46,990 --> 00:53:50,910
When we elected them right.
So I like how we're we're kind
932
00:53:50,910 --> 00:53:57,430
of empowering our our local
elected officials by by saying
933
00:53:57,430 --> 00:54:00,950
here, let us help you in this
process and and I think that
934
00:54:00,950 --> 00:54:04,950
only serves to do 2 things.
One, it gives us an opportunity
935
00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:07,830
to as the founder said Sue for
address.
936
00:54:08,310 --> 00:54:12,710
And then on the other side, it
allows us to kind of foster a
937
00:54:12,710 --> 00:54:16,390
relationship with our local
elected leaders, such as a
938
00:54:16,390 --> 00:54:19,670
sheriff by saying, you know
what, here's all this and we
939
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:21,950
want you to know we have your
back as well.
940
00:54:22,710 --> 00:54:24,910
Now imagine the worst case
scenario, because everyone's
941
00:54:24,910 --> 00:54:26,630
always going to ask what if he
doesn't listen?
942
00:54:26,670 --> 00:54:28,590
This is always going to be the
question, right?
943
00:54:28,990 --> 00:54:34,990
And so this process is designed
to where to deal with that, so.
944
00:54:36,620 --> 00:54:39,020
I think in a lot of cases when
you build that kind of
945
00:54:39,020 --> 00:54:43,780
relationship, we're going to
start being surprised more often
946
00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:46,900
than we expect.
And right now, I expect 0 from
947
00:54:46,900 --> 00:54:48,940
past experience generally,
right.
948
00:54:49,780 --> 00:54:55,540
So but I I, I think it doesn't
take a lot to to to see some
949
00:54:55,540 --> 00:55:02,420
light.
So if part of this right now is
950
00:55:02,540 --> 00:55:05,220
this is a new concept where
we're training our officials.
951
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,120
That the people know how to
organize and self govern.
952
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,120
K So there's there's like
multiple phases of this.
953
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,320
We're training our elected
officials that we understand the
954
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,000
Constitution.
We're wise about it.
955
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,680
We can document and be helpful
because you can go to a sheriff
956
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,320
with a complaint, but if you
hand him on a silver platter
957
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,600
everything he needs, you know
you're taking away a lot of the
958
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,800
busy work.
You know he's who knows where
959
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,040
his mind is and so forth and
you're you're assisting him.
960
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,320
And you're also starting to
leave him without excuse.
961
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,320
Okay.
Do you see that?
962
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,720
Okay.
So we're starting to fulfill
963
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,560
nature's requirements for this
and the Lord's requirements for
964
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:44,840
this.
So.
965
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,760
So we want you want to
regularly, you know, start doing
966
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,480
these kinds of things.
And you keep a record as a
967
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:58,840
committee of how often they side
with the people and how often
968
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:03,150
they don't.
If that is done correctly, now
969
00:56:03,150 --> 00:56:08,030
you're going to start to really
have something to document to
970
00:56:08,030 --> 00:56:12,270
the public K to your community K
And it's not just an angry
971
00:56:12,270 --> 00:56:15,070
letter.
Did you know our mayor did this
972
00:56:15,070 --> 00:56:17,110
horrible thing?
People like it's just another
973
00:56:17,110 --> 00:56:20,310
angry Republican or another
angry Democrat, right?
974
00:56:20,310 --> 00:56:22,950
That's that's all they see
nowadays when you try to warn
975
00:56:22,950 --> 00:56:26,150
your neighbor about things.
K partisan issues and emotion.
976
00:56:26,550 --> 00:56:33,930
Instead it's like, did you know?
That last year, you know, 115
977
00:56:33,930 --> 00:56:38,570
businesses got licensed by this
one, you know got this fine,
978
00:56:38,890 --> 00:56:42,610
which is was a violation of the
state constitution and 30
979
00:56:42,610 --> 00:56:45,730
businesses had to shut down.
And we brought this grievance to
980
00:56:45,730 --> 00:56:50,490
the city on five different
occasions and and they agreed we
981
00:56:50,490 --> 00:56:52,170
were right and they didn't do
anything about it right.
982
00:56:52,170 --> 00:56:57,970
So you've got a much different
case against the things that are
983
00:56:57,970 --> 00:56:59,800
happening.
And you're really starting to
984
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,720
train your local powers that
that the people pay attention
985
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,720
and they pay attention well and
intelligently and so forth.
986
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,160
And now you're satisfying the
laws of nature.
987
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,960
Now the the according to the
Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord
988
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:17,840
can be more pleased and and
we're satisfying that right.
989
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,200
Okay.
So now I have another question
990
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,680
for you.
There are attorneys that maybe
991
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,300
aren't on the side of liberty.
And they have a way of just
992
00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:32,380
twisting things or creating
loopholes that you know, will
993
00:57:32,380 --> 00:57:35,540
say, well, gosh, I I think the,
the the constitution should be
994
00:57:35,540 --> 00:57:39,660
interpreted this way.
And so I like the idea of of
995
00:57:39,660 --> 00:57:43,340
finally as conservatives getting
to the point to where we're
996
00:57:43,340 --> 00:57:46,820
organizing right.
I'm a conservative, but I I have
997
00:57:46,820 --> 00:57:52,340
to admit this conservatives suck
when it comes to being able to.
998
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,320
To community organize.
We're just busy with our jobs.
999
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,840
We don't have millionaire
daddies to bail us out, but
1000
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,240
eventually these things are
going to get kicked up a notch
1001
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,880
and they're going to get kicked
into the courts.
1002
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:07,640
What do we do when that happens?
Because we may not have the same
1003
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,960
kind of high-powered attorneys
that other folks do.
1004
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,840
Yeah, we don't win in the
courts.
1005
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:15,720
And the goal here is not to go
to the court.
1006
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,680
Definitely not.
You combine all of this with.
1007
00:58:20,460 --> 00:58:23,500
The CC if you're publishing this
to the community and you're
1008
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:26,060
actually keeping a record,
you've got all these businesses
1009
00:58:26,060 --> 00:58:29,060
that have been hurt and and
you're well, you're documenting
1010
00:58:29,060 --> 00:58:31,020
this well.
You're holding town halls.
1011
00:58:31,340 --> 00:58:36,980
Once in a while, people are
going to start claiming right
1012
00:58:37,340 --> 00:58:40,380
there will be, you will spread
civil disobedience to the
1013
00:58:40,420 --> 00:58:43,140
unconstitutional laws more and
more, right?
1014
00:58:43,540 --> 00:58:46,460
And so now sometimes that's
easier.
1015
00:58:47,090 --> 00:58:49,850
Then other times depending on
the situation and I I I
1016
00:58:49,850 --> 00:58:52,970
recognize that and and I've
thought through you know
1017
00:58:53,090 --> 00:58:55,570
different scenarios and I
believe there are answers to
1018
00:58:55,570 --> 00:58:58,930
every scenario over time.
So this takes a lot to kind of
1019
00:58:58,930 --> 00:59:02,050
wrap your heads around because
this is new thinking I think for
1020
00:59:02,050 --> 00:59:05,850
a lot of people that's why I
have the manual and the classes
1021
00:59:05,850 --> 00:59:09,690
and and I love helping people
process individual situations
1022
00:59:10,170 --> 00:59:14,210
and and defending Utah is here
to support people in that that's
1023
00:59:14,210 --> 00:59:15,680
that's what we're doing.
Okay.
1024
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:22,040
So but it's a great question
because to me the problem is not
1025
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,600
so much Oh no, in court they're
gonna get us Okay because once
1026
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,160
you know you have a right, you
learn to claim it as a
1027
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,760
community.
I mean okay let's let's back up
1028
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,720
to the simple example that I
gave you earlier.
1029
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,440
If the officer says who knocked
on your door and says he wants
1030
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,640
to search your house and you
says if you get a warrant and he
1031
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,440
says, well we'll let a judge
decide that.
1032
00:59:44,230 --> 00:59:47,710
You're probably going to say no,
you can get a warrant, you know,
1033
00:59:47,950 --> 00:59:50,310
and I guess a judge, they get a
warrant from a judge.
1034
00:59:50,310 --> 00:59:52,190
But.
But if they wanted to not have a
1035
00:59:52,190 --> 00:59:54,510
warrant, they might say, our
lawyers say we don't have to.
1036
00:59:54,510 --> 00:59:55,590
That's a better way to explain
it.
1037
00:59:55,830 --> 00:59:57,670
OK.
Our lawyers say we don't need a
1038
00:59:57,670 --> 01:00:00,070
warrant.
Or our lawyers say this napkin
1039
01:00:00,070 --> 01:00:03,350
in my pocket is a warrant.
That happens a lot, actually,
1040
01:00:03,550 --> 01:00:05,550
where they give you something
and they call it a warrant.
1041
01:00:05,550 --> 01:00:08,430
And it's not really a warrant
because they're trying to kind
1042
01:00:08,430 --> 01:00:09,790
of gaslight you.
OK.
1043
01:00:09,790 --> 01:00:10,430
I've heard of this.
Don't.
1044
01:00:10,710 --> 01:00:15,260
Go to jail for that.
There's got it's got to be
1045
01:00:15,260 --> 01:00:17,100
illegal.
To misrepresent a document.
1046
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:21,020
They This is why fighting in the
courts isn't good most of the
1047
01:00:21,020 --> 01:00:24,860
time because I have I have some
opinions on the court but you
1048
01:00:24,860 --> 01:00:27,340
don't get your liberate in the
court because they are so good
1049
01:00:27,340 --> 01:00:32,300
at playing games okay and so you
know it's a case by case thing
1050
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:38,020
again but I would guess that.
They would say, well, you didn't
1051
01:00:38,020 --> 01:00:39,860
ask for a real warrant.
Or they'll say this is an
1052
01:00:39,860 --> 01:00:42,500
administrative warrant, They'll
change the language.
1053
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:44,900
So they didn't actually claim it
was a warrant.
1054
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:47,780
Like, whatever it is, it's a
game somewhere, OK.
1055
01:00:48,020 --> 01:00:51,500
So you have to inherently
understand your rights so well
1056
01:00:51,900 --> 01:00:54,820
that no matter what is thrown at
you, you can stand in your
1057
01:00:54,820 --> 01:00:56,860
square.
This is so important.
1058
01:00:56,860 --> 01:01:01,500
OK, Being able to stand in your
square and then teaching more
1059
01:01:01,500 --> 01:01:04,100
people to be able to do that.
So when you say, you know, well,
1060
01:01:04,100 --> 01:01:05,860
I know that's not a warrant
because.
1061
01:01:06,290 --> 01:01:08,570
Doesn't have these three
constitutional requirements that
1062
01:01:08,570 --> 01:01:11,450
would have warrant this.
So thank you, officer.
1063
01:01:11,450 --> 01:01:14,770
When you come back with a valid
constitutional warrant other
1064
01:01:14,770 --> 01:01:16,890
than that, I'd ask you to leave
my property, right.
1065
01:01:16,890 --> 01:01:20,370
And so it's like now you know,
they're trespassing and all that
1066
01:01:20,370 --> 01:01:21,970
kind of stuff.
But you got to learn how to do
1067
01:01:21,970 --> 01:01:24,410
all these things intelligently,
without emotion.
1068
01:01:24,690 --> 01:01:28,490
When you stand on your rights,
there's so much power, more than
1069
01:01:28,490 --> 01:01:34,730
we believe we have K so, so then
that being said.
1070
01:01:35,650 --> 01:01:39,010
My concern is not so much
courts, but being able to for
1071
01:01:39,010 --> 01:01:40,490
us.
We need to learn how to stand in
1072
01:01:40,490 --> 01:01:44,490
our square on these things.
We need to We need to nullify.
1073
01:01:44,570 --> 01:01:46,530
We talked a lot about
nullification over the years.
1074
01:01:46,530 --> 01:01:49,970
K not just nullificate.
Large legislators can nullify
1075
01:01:49,970 --> 01:01:52,610
the feds.
Our counties can nullify the
1076
01:01:52,610 --> 01:01:56,130
state, but we personally nullify
these committees as communities
1077
01:01:56,130 --> 01:01:59,210
can nullify.
That is the very essence of the
1078
01:01:59,210 --> 01:02:02,410
checks and balances.
But we want to help our sheriff
1079
01:02:02,490 --> 01:02:05,170
nullify the ATF when they come
into town.
1080
01:02:06,090 --> 01:02:09,650
That's protecting his authority,
showing him why he has the
1081
01:02:09,650 --> 01:02:13,130
authority to nullify.
The problem is lawyers, Okay,
1082
01:02:13,130 --> 01:02:14,770
lawyers are a problem that
you're bringing up.
1083
01:02:15,130 --> 01:02:19,890
It's not so much that he's going
to go open some case in court
1084
01:02:19,930 --> 01:02:21,530
and then we're going to have to
adjudicate this.
1085
01:02:21,770 --> 01:02:25,210
The problem is more he's going
to be buddies with the County
1086
01:02:25,210 --> 01:02:27,610
Attorney.
Hey, Joe, what do you think of
1087
01:02:27,610 --> 01:02:30,560
this?
Right, K that's the issue.
1088
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,360
And so even if you help him get
excited, he actually wants to do
1089
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:35,800
the right thing.
He thinks, gosh, all these
1090
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,320
people will love me if I just do
this simple little thing.
1091
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,280
I'll do that.
I'll maintain my power longer.
1092
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,680
Even though the voting system's
rigged, they love that all their
1093
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,280
constituents would love them.
So there is an ambition aspect
1094
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,960
that they will want to do the
right thing if you bring them
1095
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,320
something intelligent.
So when he goes to his lawyer
1096
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,320
and he says, hey, they had this
declaration.
1097
01:02:58,930 --> 01:03:02,970
And you know I want I'm, I'm
thinking I'm going to get behind
1098
01:03:02,970 --> 01:03:05,970
this and I'm going to you know
whatever it is, whatever action
1099
01:03:05,970 --> 01:03:08,730
you're asking for and I've
written a number of examples of
1100
01:03:08,730 --> 01:03:14,010
these by the way we we can talk
about that and that attorney is
1101
01:03:14,010 --> 01:03:18,410
going to look at it and go no
because then he'll throw in
1102
01:03:18,410 --> 01:03:22,050
these case law examples.
So, so that really is the goal.
1103
01:03:22,330 --> 01:03:27,650
We have to understand the law so
well that we do get around that.
1104
01:03:28,030 --> 01:03:31,950
You know, to to a degree and and
I've worked very hard on that
1105
01:03:32,270 --> 01:03:35,030
and really if you understand the
Constitution, your rights well
1106
01:03:35,030 --> 01:03:36,910
enough, it's really just a
matter of articulating it
1107
01:03:36,910 --> 01:03:39,630
correctly.
So it's not like our words are
1108
01:03:39,630 --> 01:03:42,390
magic that if you say the right
thing, the sheriff will obey you
1109
01:03:42,670 --> 01:03:44,830
right.
And it's it's about
1110
01:03:44,950 --> 01:03:49,150
understanding the process he's
going to go through and helping
1111
01:03:49,150 --> 01:03:52,750
him get around misunderstandings
or confusions.
1112
01:03:53,310 --> 01:03:55,950
So if we don't study the
Constitution.
1113
01:03:56,370 --> 01:03:58,970
Which is why we have our weekly
class with Dr. Scott Bradley.
1114
01:04:00,130 --> 01:04:02,170
We can't execute on this as
well.
1115
01:04:03,050 --> 01:04:04,410
Now we're never going to be
perfect.
1116
01:04:04,450 --> 01:04:07,130
We're never going to know it
well enough to be perfect.
1117
01:04:08,210 --> 01:04:11,730
But we're we're going to try and
we're going to fail.
1118
01:04:11,730 --> 01:04:13,610
We're going to learn and then
we're going to try better.
1119
01:04:13,890 --> 01:04:15,650
And I've already seen this this
happen.
1120
01:04:15,650 --> 01:04:21,010
So defending Utah, if you, if
you watch the classes that I've
1121
01:04:21,010 --> 01:04:25,650
given, has some examples of
things we've tried but also.
1122
01:04:26,470 --> 01:04:28,830
We have an affiliate
organization that we've created,
1123
01:04:28,830 --> 01:04:31,550
which is a national
organization, OK, called the
1124
01:04:31,550 --> 01:04:36,190
American Committees Association.
OK, so we taken all this
1125
01:04:36,190 --> 01:04:37,750
knowledge that we've gained
that.
1126
01:04:37,750 --> 01:04:39,750
I'm only giving a teaser of here
on this podcast.
1127
01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:41,710
I want to make that clear.
I know, I know people listening
1128
01:04:41,710 --> 01:04:43,630
are going to have questions.
It won't work because of this.
1129
01:04:43,630 --> 01:04:46,190
Or what about this?
Those are all great questions.
1130
01:04:46,510 --> 01:04:48,510
I am convinced the founding
fathers knew what they were
1131
01:04:48,510 --> 01:04:53,430
doing and that these natural
laws are correct and so we can
1132
01:04:53,430 --> 01:04:56,340
address.
All these questions and yes, it
1133
01:04:56,340 --> 01:05:01,700
takes work.
But by consistently applying and
1134
01:05:02,100 --> 01:05:05,980
honoring these natural laws, we
will get the end results we're
1135
01:05:05,980 --> 01:05:09,260
looking for.
I I believe that wholeheartedly
1136
01:05:09,420 --> 01:05:10,620
and I believe everyone else can
too.
1137
01:05:10,620 --> 01:05:12,780
You just got, it's new.
You got to process it.
1138
01:05:12,780 --> 01:05:14,140
You got to think about it okay.
So.
1139
01:05:14,460 --> 01:05:17,500
So the American Communities
Association is taking these
1140
01:05:18,100 --> 01:05:22,020
these ideas and these plans and
these organizing concepts and
1141
01:05:22,020 --> 01:05:24,340
we've have been.
Sharing them.
1142
01:05:24,340 --> 01:05:29,900
This manual has been shared
across the the country and we
1143
01:05:29,900 --> 01:05:34,780
have 3 committees in California
that are using this manual
1144
01:05:35,060 --> 01:05:36,820
today.
They've had sheriff meetings
1145
01:05:36,820 --> 01:05:38,780
already.
We've been getting feedback.
1146
01:05:38,780 --> 01:05:43,140
We've been seeing some shocking
successes as far as in
1147
01:05:43,180 --> 01:05:47,980
California of all of all places,
OK And of course, this is all
1148
01:05:47,980 --> 01:05:49,620
very new.
This is new in the, in the
1149
01:05:49,620 --> 01:05:53,020
landscape of just activism in
America in general, OK.
1150
01:05:54,220 --> 01:05:56,140
At least being able to actually
apply this.
1151
01:05:56,980 --> 01:06:02,740
The successes are a lot in this
the the the the willingness of
1152
01:06:02,740 --> 01:06:05,220
sheriffs to want to be on the
side of the people.
1153
01:06:06,220 --> 01:06:10,740
They just can't have an angry
mob or an unintelligent thing.
1154
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:14,020
You're thrown at them.
They will look stupid to their
1155
01:06:14,020 --> 01:06:16,740
County Attorney, to whoever else
they have to answer to.
1156
01:06:17,100 --> 01:06:20,300
So you you have to give them
things that are legally sound,
1157
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:27,750
this one sheriff in California.
Responded to this committee in
1158
01:06:27,750 --> 01:06:30,790
in one meeting and said, so if
you're going to be bringing me
1159
01:06:30,790 --> 01:06:35,270
these, these documents, these
affidavits, these declarations,
1160
01:06:35,470 --> 01:06:38,750
you must have a constitutional
attorney on your team, right?
1161
01:06:38,950 --> 01:06:41,950
Almost testing them, Okay.
And this is what we have to
1162
01:06:41,950 --> 01:06:46,150
understand is the intelligent
people in the system will test
1163
01:06:46,150 --> 01:06:48,270
you and you have to be able to
stand your square.
1164
01:06:48,730 --> 01:06:51,290
So the test was you must have a
constitutional attorney.
1165
01:06:51,290 --> 01:06:53,770
You must know the law so well if
you think you know you're going
1166
01:06:53,770 --> 01:06:59,730
to do this right.
And but of course, you know, one
1167
01:06:59,810 --> 01:07:02,690
part of the discussion was how
many constitutional attorneys
1168
01:07:02,690 --> 01:07:05,210
even are there in the country,
attorneys that understand the
1169
01:07:05,210 --> 01:07:06,810
Constitution.
Right.
1170
01:07:06,970 --> 01:07:09,210
And the sheriff agreed.
The sheriff was like okay.
1171
01:07:09,210 --> 01:07:10,850
It was a good answer.
But, you know, and they
1172
01:07:10,850 --> 01:07:15,210
discussed a little more but you
know, he said he's willing to
1173
01:07:15,210 --> 01:07:16,570
listen.
So they, you know, having
1174
01:07:16,570 --> 01:07:23,600
established that relationship.
And in in Arizona, I've been
1175
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,560
talking to people in Michigan,
I've been talking to groups that
1176
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:32,520
are very excited about this.
So in Utah, we've had a a
1177
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,600
committee in in Southern Utah
that has been exploring and
1178
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,520
operating under this manual and
charter at least an older
1179
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:47,080
version of it for two years and
and then just this past week.
1180
01:07:47,670 --> 01:07:50,630
And we've had some organizations
actually go to elected officials
1181
01:07:50,630 --> 01:07:52,670
and talk about some of the
problems with public private
1182
01:07:52,670 --> 01:07:55,590
partnerships, and they've been
delivering declarations and
1183
01:07:56,230 --> 01:08:00,270
meeting with sheriffs.
So we're starting to use this
1184
01:08:00,270 --> 01:08:04,430
process.
But again, it's gonna take some
1185
01:08:04,430 --> 01:08:07,990
time as we explore and learn,
and we will.
1186
01:08:08,630 --> 01:08:10,790
So I'm just sitting here
thinking and.
1187
01:08:11,630 --> 01:08:14,590
Even if you're not getting the
desired results you want, you're
1188
01:08:14,590 --> 01:08:17,470
at least slowing down the
process on the other side,
1189
01:08:17,470 --> 01:08:19,149
right?
Some of these, you know, similar
1190
01:08:19,149 --> 01:08:21,830
tactics work simply from
traditional activist
1191
01:08:21,830 --> 01:08:24,350
organizations by being a loud
voice.
1192
01:08:24,390 --> 01:08:27,189
And there's a natural law that
they feel accountable to the
1193
01:08:27,189 --> 01:08:29,390
loud voice to the mob a little
bit, right?
1194
01:08:29,390 --> 01:08:32,069
Or at least they can be nervous,
but sometimes they laugh in our
1195
01:08:32,069 --> 01:08:38,029
face also at the same time, OK.
The the, the smart cities is
1196
01:08:38,029 --> 01:08:41,189
something that that that was
actually what was delivered.
1197
01:08:41,390 --> 01:08:45,029
We were starting to deliver this
past this past week.
1198
01:08:45,870 --> 01:08:51,310
So if you go to the website Utah
committee dot US okay this is a
1199
01:08:51,310 --> 01:08:58,790
state level committee where we
publish these constitutional
1200
01:08:58,790 --> 01:09:01,710
principle declarations that
we've been practicing at this
1201
01:09:01,710 --> 01:09:04,670
for a couple years.
And they're getting better and
1202
01:09:04,670 --> 01:09:07,470
stronger.
And, you know, in 2020, we had a
1203
01:09:07,470 --> 01:09:10,470
lockdown, one that was about,
you know, terminating emergency
1204
01:09:10,470 --> 01:09:11,670
powers.
I think we're going to have to
1205
01:09:11,670 --> 01:09:13,870
revisit that because they're
doing some things with water and
1206
01:09:13,870 --> 01:09:16,029
trying to take our water under
what they call water
1207
01:09:16,029 --> 01:09:20,390
emergencies.
But the idea is that how do you
1208
01:09:20,430 --> 01:09:24,630
push back against smart cities?
Well, you have to identify why
1209
01:09:24,630 --> 01:09:28,069
they're illegal.
Why is the government breaking
1210
01:09:28,069 --> 01:09:31,910
the law in what they're doing?
And can they do it in a way that
1211
01:09:31,910 --> 01:09:35,920
they're not breaking the law?
You can't just complain about
1212
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:37,520
them.
We don't like smart cities,
1213
01:09:38,319 --> 01:09:41,120
right?
If if you are enforcing the
1214
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,760
voice of the people, you have to
be able to understand how it's
1215
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,720
illegal in in the state
constitution.
1216
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,880
K and and so on that website
Utah Committee US there's a link
1217
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:54,600
called documents and I label
these declarations that we put
1218
01:09:54,600 --> 01:10:01,600
out and the the 2nd to last one
right now 2023-4 is about these
1219
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,950
districts.
And it and it lists out the
1220
01:10:06,110 --> 01:10:08,550
parts of the constitution that
get violated.
1221
01:10:09,110 --> 01:10:13,630
And then actually I wrote a much
more readable article on our
1222
01:10:13,630 --> 01:10:15,390
website.
If you go to defendingutah.org
1223
01:10:15,390 --> 01:10:19,550
for slash smart cities, I walk
through how they're legal with
1224
01:10:19,550 --> 01:10:22,110
the legislature is doing,
they're trying to, you know
1225
01:10:22,110 --> 01:10:25,430
erase various boundaries.
So and I can tell you right now
1226
01:10:25,950 --> 01:10:28,830
it it is a principle of
republicanism to have boundaries
1227
01:10:28,830 --> 01:10:32,270
and jurisdiction and otherwise
you can't have representation at
1228
01:10:32,270 --> 01:10:35,570
all.
And so they are erasing those.
1229
01:10:35,650 --> 01:10:40,170
They're trying to redelegate
authority to private companies,
1230
01:10:40,450 --> 01:10:43,530
to regional governments, things
that are connected to like the
1231
01:10:43,530 --> 01:10:48,530
UN and and so forth.
But break it down simply to
1232
01:10:49,250 --> 01:10:53,650
there's a line in the state
constitution that prohibits the
1233
01:10:53,650 --> 01:10:57,770
redelegation of authority.
It's right there in black and
1234
01:10:57,770 --> 01:11:01,010
white.
OK, so we need to show our
1235
01:11:01,210 --> 01:11:04,210
elected officials our sheriff's
hey, they're redelegating
1236
01:11:04,210 --> 01:11:05,570
authority.
They can't do that.
1237
01:11:05,570 --> 01:11:07,650
We need you to get behind this
and enforce it.
1238
01:11:07,930 --> 01:11:09,970
Another thing they're doing is
there's a free trade clause in
1239
01:11:09,970 --> 01:11:13,930
the state constitution where I
in my article that I just
1240
01:11:13,930 --> 01:11:15,650
mentioned.
I broke it down grammatically
1241
01:11:15,650 --> 01:11:18,290
because it's difficult to
understand that first, and it is
1242
01:11:18,290 --> 01:11:21,610
one of the most blatantly
ignored lines in our state
1243
01:11:21,610 --> 01:11:22,890
constitution.
If you ask me.
1244
01:11:23,690 --> 01:11:25,650
It's the whole line that says
why.
1245
01:11:26,530 --> 01:11:30,210
Mixing government with business
is illegal.
1246
01:11:30,450 --> 01:11:33,570
Is is downright illegal.
Yet we do it every day now.
1247
01:11:33,730 --> 01:11:35,730
We praise it as the most
wonderful thing that we're
1248
01:11:35,730 --> 01:11:39,050
cooperating, right?
People don't understand that's
1249
01:11:39,050 --> 01:11:41,730
the very definition of fascism,
right?
1250
01:11:42,130 --> 01:11:46,130
Where in communism they're going
to come in and they're just
1251
01:11:46,130 --> 01:11:50,210
going to nationalize everything.
With fascism, If you look back
1252
01:11:50,210 --> 01:11:54,890
historically, Hitler kept Krupp
steel, Mussolini kept the
1253
01:11:54,890 --> 01:11:57,990
corporations.
And and instead of being
1254
01:11:57,990 --> 01:12:01,870
federalized, they just worked
kind of for the government and
1255
01:12:01,870 --> 01:12:04,390
with the government.
And it's great that we have in
1256
01:12:04,390 --> 01:12:07,990
our state constitution something
to prevent that.
1257
01:12:08,110 --> 01:12:10,710
We just got to hold the
politicians to it.
1258
01:12:11,230 --> 01:12:12,430
Right.
And we have to be able to
1259
01:12:12,430 --> 01:12:16,390
understand it.
So that because a lawyer, I'd be
1260
01:12:16,390 --> 01:12:19,430
shocked how many lawyers even
understand that because it's not
1261
01:12:19,430 --> 01:12:22,350
part of their job, it's not part
of their training, it's it's one
1262
01:12:22,350 --> 01:12:24,230
of those things that never even
comes up probably.
1263
01:12:24,990 --> 01:12:28,030
And so I think what's commonly
understood among the legal
1264
01:12:28,030 --> 01:12:31,110
profession is conspiracy.
If you could prove someone's
1265
01:12:31,110 --> 01:12:35,350
conspiring to control part of
the market, that then that is
1266
01:12:35,350 --> 01:12:38,870
more understood.
But but the state constitution
1267
01:12:38,870 --> 01:12:43,830
doesn't say conspiracy in trade
is the only thing that's legal.
1268
01:12:44,990 --> 01:12:46,990
It's broken down into three
parts.
1269
01:12:47,270 --> 01:12:51,830
Any contract in restraint of
trade, you can do it wide open
1270
01:12:51,830 --> 01:12:53,470
and on purpose.
Doesn't even have to be a
1271
01:12:53,470 --> 01:12:55,850
conspiracy.
If you create a contract with
1272
01:12:55,850 --> 01:13:01,570
the state and that restrains the
free market from filling a need,
1273
01:13:02,970 --> 01:13:05,850
that is unconstitutional, it's
right there in black and white.
1274
01:13:06,330 --> 01:13:08,970
And so I broke that down in this
article.
1275
01:13:09,330 --> 01:13:14,290
And and that's something though
we definitely have to teach our
1276
01:13:14,290 --> 01:13:18,010
sheriffs, we have to teach our,
our city council's this very
1277
01:13:18,010 --> 01:13:21,090
specific thing why publicprivate
partnerships are illegal when
1278
01:13:21,090 --> 01:13:24,060
they start to learn it.
It needs to become as commonly
1279
01:13:24,060 --> 01:13:25,700
understood as the Second
Amendment.
1280
01:13:25,860 --> 01:13:29,500
Oh, you can't take our guns.
Oh, you can't fund that private
1281
01:13:29,500 --> 01:13:32,780
company because now the free
market can't fill it.
1282
01:13:33,900 --> 01:13:37,220
Now I'm not totally ignorant to
that question is is could get a
1283
01:13:37,220 --> 01:13:39,540
little more detailed.
Sometimes government you know
1284
01:13:40,540 --> 01:13:43,220
goes to private companies to
fill their needs and so forth.
1285
01:13:43,220 --> 01:13:48,500
But but in general we are so
overboard on this as we're
1286
01:13:48,900 --> 01:13:52,020
praising publicprivate
partnerships and we're taking
1287
01:13:52,020 --> 01:13:54,590
that as a.
First approach and then we're
1288
01:13:54,590 --> 01:13:57,030
giving private companies the
power to make law.
1289
01:13:57,030 --> 01:14:00,990
We're redelegating authority to
private companies.
1290
01:14:01,430 --> 01:14:04,350
And so there's a variety of
unconstitutional things here.
1291
01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:06,910
So if we want to go against the
smart cities.
1292
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,360
We're not just we can't just
complain that we're worried
1293
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,560
about it is still being future
even though that is exactly what
1294
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,440
they're you know the building,
right.
1295
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,520
Our neighbor.
It's too much for our neighbors
1296
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,880
to to to who don't even know
about smart cities to talk
1297
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:22,840
about.
You know they're building this
1298
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,920
crazy prison for us, right?
It's going to go in one, air out
1299
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:28,480
the other.
You can't give them the
1300
01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:30,680
background by just knocking on
their door.
1301
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,960
So but what we can do is we can
identify how they're violating a
1302
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,210
specific line.
And that is the voice of the
1303
01:14:38,210 --> 01:14:41,210
people, and we have the
authority to enforce that.
1304
01:14:42,090 --> 01:14:45,890
So yeah.
Anyway.
1305
01:14:47,490 --> 01:14:49,690
Oh, OK.
So this is a pretty good point,
1306
01:14:49,690 --> 01:14:53,330
too, so that the next
declaration I put out is about
1307
01:14:53,330 --> 01:14:57,090
these, the privacy invasions.
This is a big deal.
1308
01:14:57,130 --> 01:14:59,090
I think it's even bigger than
the smart cities.
1309
01:15:02,850 --> 01:15:07,410
So you go to the airport now.
Right.
1310
01:15:07,410 --> 01:15:09,690
And they got all these face
scanners and and let me give
1311
01:15:09,690 --> 01:15:12,370
advice to everybody or I meant
to make a YouTube video about
1312
01:15:12,370 --> 01:15:15,090
this and I haven't yet.
People need to know, they need
1313
01:15:15,090 --> 01:15:19,090
to be opting out at the airport.
They can you walk up to the the,
1314
01:15:19,090 --> 01:15:22,530
you know, security, they're
going to tell you put your face,
1315
01:15:22,690 --> 01:15:26,210
you know, in the box and if you
say do I have to do that,
1316
01:15:26,210 --> 01:15:27,770
they'll say yes, that's what we
do.
1317
01:15:28,010 --> 01:15:30,930
You have to use the keyword opt
out, Okay.
1318
01:15:30,930 --> 01:15:32,410
And so all these things are
happening.
1319
01:15:32,910 --> 01:15:36,110
This is why they would argue
it's legal right now because,
1320
01:15:36,230 --> 01:15:38,910
well, you can opt out.
We're not forcing you to do it,
1321
01:15:38,910 --> 01:15:40,830
you know any of these things,
but they're collecting your
1322
01:15:40,830 --> 01:15:43,910
data, they're putting you in a
facial recognition database so
1323
01:15:43,910 --> 01:15:47,310
that all the cameras all around
the cities can start to
1324
01:15:47,310 --> 01:15:49,710
recognize it's China style.
We've seen those videos about
1325
01:15:49,710 --> 01:15:52,510
China doing that, right.
They are absolutely building
1326
01:15:52,510 --> 01:15:55,310
that infrastructure right now.
It's not just going to be in the
1327
01:15:55,310 --> 01:15:58,950
smart cities, but it's going to
expand and to everywhere if
1328
01:15:58,950 --> 01:16:01,470
they, you know, they can help in
20 years so.
1329
01:16:01,830 --> 01:16:03,590
Right now, we have the right to
opt out.
1330
01:16:03,590 --> 01:16:07,670
That's a soft way to kind of,
you know, push back.
1331
01:16:07,670 --> 01:16:09,950
But let me explain to you how
the courts see this.
1332
01:16:10,710 --> 01:16:13,790
Because I wanted to write a
declaration that would tell
1333
01:16:13,790 --> 01:16:17,630
cities they need to take those
cameras down so that as
1334
01:16:17,630 --> 01:16:21,110
committees you can go to your
city, you can gather the voice
1335
01:16:21,110 --> 01:16:24,070
of the people, you can gather
signatures and you can create a
1336
01:16:24,070 --> 01:16:28,070
legally a lawful document
admissible in court.
1337
01:16:28,540 --> 01:16:33,420
That that shows the grievances
and you're demanding redress and
1338
01:16:33,420 --> 01:16:36,860
if if the cities are on your
side and they agree, they will
1339
01:16:37,500 --> 01:16:39,340
start taking the cameras down.
In theory, right?
1340
01:16:39,340 --> 01:16:41,460
This is the theory.
You can call it a big dream if
1341
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:45,100
you want, right?
But but I believe it is possible
1342
01:16:45,980 --> 01:16:49,590
and so so my thought was.
Let's define how they're
1343
01:16:49,590 --> 01:16:51,070
violating the law.
Pretty simple.
1344
01:16:51,070 --> 01:16:54,790
Did you have a warrant you know
to take my facial recognition
1345
01:16:54,790 --> 01:16:56,590
you know data did you have and
all these things.
1346
01:16:56,790 --> 01:16:59,270
But I thought very carefully,
how does the court see this
1347
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:02,550
because when the sheriff gets
these declarations that's he's
1348
01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:04,990
going to take it to his County
Attorney and he'll say, well we
1349
01:17:04,990 --> 01:17:07,710
have the right because of this
and this ruling and so forth.
1350
01:17:07,990 --> 01:17:11,030
And then the sheriff sheriff can
ignore his County Attorney if he
1351
01:17:11,030 --> 01:17:13,630
agrees with us.
We just need to show him why
1352
01:17:13,630 --> 01:17:17,030
he's justified and give him the
motivation to to.
1353
01:17:17,570 --> 01:17:19,690
Use his ambition.
Like we said, right?
1354
01:17:19,890 --> 01:17:23,450
With his ambition, he has all
the power to ignore everybody
1355
01:17:23,490 --> 01:17:27,170
who's a naysayer, if we can show
him why it's lawful, and so
1356
01:17:27,170 --> 01:17:29,530
forth.
So I investigated the courts,
1357
01:17:29,930 --> 01:17:35,570
and when they ruled against our
privacy and it was very
1358
01:17:35,570 --> 01:17:38,770
interesting, I was shocked that
I was more impressed with the
1359
01:17:38,770 --> 01:17:40,130
courts than I thought I would
be.
1360
01:17:41,170 --> 01:17:44,370
They were more reasonable than I
thought they would be, while
1361
01:17:44,370 --> 01:17:48,050
still sometimes they weren't.
But it wasn't like a wholesale
1362
01:17:48,050 --> 01:17:50,450
just abandoning of our rights
like I thought I was going to
1363
01:17:50,450 --> 01:17:53,730
find.
So imagine this.
1364
01:17:53,810 --> 01:17:56,050
We can think through logically
and have empathy for this
1365
01:17:56,050 --> 01:17:59,610
process.
Long time ago, whether someone
1366
01:18:00,050 --> 01:18:02,250
violated your right to privacy
was very simple.
1367
01:18:02,850 --> 01:18:05,970
You own property, there's a
property line, you cross it,
1368
01:18:05,970 --> 01:18:08,130
you're trespassing.
Pretty simple.
1369
01:18:08,130 --> 01:18:10,850
We didn't have telephones.
We didn't have the Internet, you
1370
01:18:10,850 --> 01:18:15,790
know, and so forth.
And so it used to be the courts,
1371
01:18:16,750 --> 01:18:18,910
the way, you know, they would
look at trespassing a long time
1372
01:18:18,910 --> 01:18:21,750
ago is simply, did they cross
the property line and without
1373
01:18:21,750 --> 01:18:23,270
permission, You know, pretty
simple.
1374
01:18:23,270 --> 01:18:24,670
And there's still an element of
that.
1375
01:18:25,310 --> 01:18:27,990
But imagine this case that came
before the courts.
1376
01:18:28,550 --> 01:18:30,230
Guy walks into a phone booth in
public.
1377
01:18:31,630 --> 01:18:35,750
He he closes the phone booth and
he gets on a phone call.
1378
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:41,000
And someone was listening to
him, a agent of a police agent
1379
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,400
was, was listening to him,
gathered evidence against him.
1380
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,040
And it becomes goes all the way,
all the way to the Supreme Court
1381
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,200
whether he violated his right to
privacy.
1382
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,960
Well, he was in public.
He wasn't in his home, in, you
1383
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:57,480
know, behind his property line.
And I'm kind of paraphrasing the
1384
01:18:57,480 --> 01:18:58,560
case.
I didn't read the whole thing,
1385
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,040
but I got the gist of it here.
There was the phone booth case.
1386
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:05,400
And so the courts had to decide.
How do we know?
1387
01:19:05,810 --> 01:19:09,370
That this guy had a right to
privacy while he was in public
1388
01:19:10,930 --> 01:19:13,930
and the courts are very
mechanical as an as a software
1389
01:19:13,930 --> 01:19:17,410
engineer I can appreciate that
it's very mechanical to the
1390
01:19:17,410 --> 01:19:20,810
details because you have to
realize that whatever they apply
1391
01:19:20,810 --> 01:19:23,930
they're going to set a precedent
that will that can mechanically
1392
01:19:23,930 --> 01:19:25,730
be applied you know to other
things.
1393
01:19:26,210 --> 01:19:32,490
And so they they said well it is
obvious to everybody.
1394
01:19:33,170 --> 01:19:35,890
That when he went into that
phone booth and closed his door,
1395
01:19:36,570 --> 01:19:38,530
he wanted to have a private
conversation.
1396
01:19:39,650 --> 01:19:46,690
K they take the the key obvious
to everybody they that's a
1397
01:19:46,690 --> 01:19:49,970
cultural thing.
Does the culture at large
1398
01:19:49,970 --> 01:19:53,450
believe that you have a right to
privacy when you close the door
1399
01:19:53,450 --> 01:19:55,450
in the phone booth?
You ask anyone on the street,
1400
01:19:55,450 --> 01:19:57,810
they'd say yeah, that's why you
have a private phone booth.
1401
01:19:58,370 --> 01:20:01,370
K So therefore we this precedent
came.
1402
01:20:02,170 --> 01:20:06,810
A legal doctrine of an A
reasonable expectation of
1403
01:20:06,810 --> 01:20:11,490
privacy makes sense.
So if you're out in public and
1404
01:20:11,490 --> 01:20:13,490
you have a reasonable
expectation of privacy.
1405
01:20:14,650 --> 01:20:17,370
But how do you know?
Well, there was an overt act
1406
01:20:17,370 --> 01:20:19,410
that you closed the door to the
phone booth maybe?
1407
01:20:19,850 --> 01:20:27,530
Or there was another case where
so like if you walk by a house
1408
01:20:27,530 --> 01:20:29,810
and you're on a public St. you
can see something from the
1409
01:20:29,810 --> 01:20:32,600
public.
He can't expect the police
1410
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,880
officer to close his eyes and
not look at every house.
1411
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,320
K that's not his problem.
You have to claim your privacy
1412
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:43,000
by closing your window shades,
right?
1413
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,800
It's very reasonable when you
think about it.
1414
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,960
K So by understanding that these
are the kinds of things that the
1415
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,600
lawyers, you know, look at.
So one day the court is going to
1416
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,040
rule on the street cameras in
America.
1417
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,910
One day they will.
We have to get ahead of that.
1418
01:20:59,990 --> 01:21:06,070
Right now, if we say nothing and
we allow it, they're going to
1419
01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:12,390
say, well, we've had these
cameras for 15 years now and
1420
01:21:12,430 --> 01:21:15,350
everybody knows that they're
getting scanned because we all
1421
01:21:15,350 --> 01:21:17,790
go to the driver's license.
We let them scan us, we go to
1422
01:21:17,790 --> 01:21:19,390
the airport, we let them scan
us.
1423
01:21:19,990 --> 01:21:23,150
We are going to allow it by
simply being silent.
1424
01:21:23,270 --> 01:21:25,030
And even if we complain on
social media, that doesn't
1425
01:21:25,030 --> 01:21:28,380
count.
OK, what matters is that there
1426
01:21:28,380 --> 01:21:30,940
has never been any action taken.
There's never been any
1427
01:21:30,940 --> 01:21:33,100
complaints made.
There's never been any petitions
1428
01:21:33,100 --> 01:21:36,420
for redress and so forth.
Now we don't have some people
1429
01:21:36,420 --> 01:21:37,780
would say, OK, let's file
lawsuits.
1430
01:21:38,100 --> 01:21:41,140
That is not where I say go.
That is expensive.
1431
01:21:41,180 --> 01:21:44,180
That is one way to put yourself
on record, OK, to show that
1432
01:21:44,180 --> 01:21:46,820
there are lawsuits, but we're
not asking the courts to rule.
1433
01:21:46,820 --> 01:21:50,580
And if we have the right to
privacy, we as a community are
1434
01:21:50,580 --> 01:21:53,100
going to nullify.
We're going to start demanding.
1435
01:21:53,380 --> 01:21:55,500
We're going to take out, you
know, taking affidavits,
1436
01:21:55,780 --> 01:21:58,340
delivering them to every county
clerk, to every sheriff.
1437
01:21:59,020 --> 01:22:02,580
Hey, city, you don't have the
right to put these cameras up
1438
01:22:02,580 --> 01:22:06,500
and invade our privacy.
We are going to go on records,
1439
01:22:06,540 --> 01:22:10,020
you know, really loud and not
just as a mob, but with
1440
01:22:10,020 --> 01:22:13,020
affidavits that are sworn
testimony.
1441
01:22:13,020 --> 01:22:15,380
You know, you know, notarize
whatever it is, right?
1442
01:22:15,380 --> 01:22:19,740
You use those tools now that the
lawyer will push back and say,
1443
01:22:19,740 --> 01:22:23,630
well, it's in public.
And we already have cameras.
1444
01:22:23,870 --> 01:22:26,110
It's probably what it's pretty
well established that security
1445
01:22:26,110 --> 01:22:28,990
cameras in public places,
especially with private
1446
01:22:28,990 --> 01:22:31,230
businesses, right, can kind of
protect their borders.
1447
01:22:31,230 --> 01:22:33,470
And when you're in public, you
don't have a reasonable
1448
01:22:33,470 --> 01:22:36,030
expectation of privacy.
So I understood this.
1449
01:22:36,030 --> 01:22:37,950
So I thought, what's the
difference between these cameras
1450
01:22:37,950 --> 01:22:38,790
then?
Right.
1451
01:22:39,830 --> 01:22:41,750
I'm sure they're going to use
that argument of they're just
1452
01:22:41,750 --> 01:22:43,710
cameras.
OK.
1453
01:22:43,710 --> 01:22:47,790
But but so I thought through
this carefully and in the
1454
01:22:47,790 --> 01:22:49,750
declaration I published,
actually, I addressed these
1455
01:22:49,750 --> 01:22:50,820
issues.
Okay.
1456
01:22:51,220 --> 01:22:53,900
So there was another.
I don't know how long you want
1457
01:22:53,900 --> 01:22:56,260
me to Babble on this because I
did a lot of deep diving on
1458
01:22:56,260 --> 01:22:57,260
this.
I'm kind of fascinated.
1459
01:22:58,420 --> 01:23:02,580
Now, there was another case
about a guy in his house, and he
1460
01:23:02,580 --> 01:23:04,740
was growing marijuana plants in
his house.
1461
01:23:04,780 --> 01:23:08,340
This this made it to the Supreme
Court, and he was doing it
1462
01:23:08,340 --> 01:23:10,940
privately in his house.
The police were surveilling his
1463
01:23:10,940 --> 01:23:15,340
house, windows were closed.
So he should have had all the
1464
01:23:15,340 --> 01:23:18,100
privacy in the world.
They can't collect any evidence
1465
01:23:18,100 --> 01:23:20,870
on him.
Unless they can somehow get a
1466
01:23:20,870 --> 01:23:22,950
warrant into his house and they
didn't have any information to
1467
01:23:22,950 --> 01:23:25,630
get a warrant into his house,
all they could do is watch from
1468
01:23:25,630 --> 01:23:28,190
the outside.
The guy was totally within his
1469
01:23:28,190 --> 01:23:33,390
rights as far as privacy is
concerned to and and they didn't
1470
01:23:33,390 --> 01:23:35,990
have any justifiable means.
What they did was they used a
1471
01:23:35,990 --> 01:23:39,430
heat camera that could measure
the heat outside his house.
1472
01:23:40,590 --> 01:23:43,470
This went all the way to the
Supreme Court because because
1473
01:23:43,510 --> 01:23:46,710
because it was like, well, the
heat went outside his house.
1474
01:23:47,570 --> 01:23:49,490
And therefore, now it's in the
public right.
1475
01:23:49,730 --> 01:23:53,090
But yet he was, he was growing
with heat lamps inside his house
1476
01:23:53,530 --> 01:23:55,770
and it became another one of
these phone booth cases.
1477
01:23:56,450 --> 01:24:01,850
K Initially the lower courts
ruled, well, you didn't take any
1478
01:24:01,850 --> 01:24:06,490
overt act to protect the heat
from going outside your house.
1479
01:24:07,490 --> 01:24:09,930
That was the initial ruling K
But then it got reversed by the
1480
01:24:09,930 --> 01:24:12,850
Supreme Court.
So the initial ruling, they were
1481
01:24:12,850 --> 01:24:16,170
trying to follow this, this the
same concept if you didn't close
1482
01:24:16,170 --> 01:24:18,940
your window shades.
Right, Kate.
1483
01:24:20,460 --> 01:24:25,820
And so they when they appealed
it to the Supreme Court, I think
1484
01:24:25,820 --> 01:24:28,860
it was who's that judge that
everybody likes that just
1485
01:24:28,860 --> 01:24:31,340
recently passed away.
He was one of our Scalia.
1486
01:24:31,340 --> 01:24:32,940
Yeah.
I think it was Scalia who ruled
1487
01:24:32,940 --> 01:24:35,260
on this, which is probably why
it got such a good ruling.
1488
01:24:37,140 --> 01:24:39,700
Don't quote me on that.
I read a bunch of cases so maybe
1489
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:41,220
I'm cross referencing them
wrong.
1490
01:24:41,220 --> 01:24:44,140
But I'm pretty sure that was the
Scalia case and.
1491
01:24:45,020 --> 01:24:48,060
And he thought about this so
deeply because this was
1492
01:24:48,060 --> 01:24:52,060
established doctrine.
He did no overt act to keep the
1493
01:24:52,060 --> 01:24:56,860
heat in his house from being
measured outside, right, Kind of
1494
01:24:56,860 --> 01:24:59,340
silly.
K1 of the arguments they said
1495
01:24:59,340 --> 01:25:03,180
was, well, the device that they
used, that the police used was
1496
01:25:03,180 --> 01:25:06,820
this high tech device that is
not common among people.
1497
01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:08,660
So it wasn't like he used an app
on his phone.
1498
01:25:09,220 --> 01:25:11,580
It was a see, it was a high tech
device.
1499
01:25:11,660 --> 01:25:13,420
So we started going down that
route.
1500
01:25:14,380 --> 01:25:17,380
So you see the thread here that
what is common among the people,
1501
01:25:17,620 --> 01:25:22,380
what we are saying out loud,
ultimately finds its way into
1502
01:25:22,380 --> 01:25:25,900
the courts courtrooms.
OK, and.
1503
01:25:26,340 --> 01:25:28,780
And not that again, the courts
are not the arbiters on our
1504
01:25:28,780 --> 01:25:32,860
rights, but it will also find
its way into how the lawyer
1505
01:25:32,860 --> 01:25:36,140
pushes back against the sheriff.
If we try to claim our rights,
1506
01:25:36,300 --> 01:25:39,580
we'll also find its way into
every aspect of government in
1507
01:25:39,580 --> 01:25:41,940
general.
So culture is so important and
1508
01:25:41,940 --> 01:25:43,780
it's so important that we're
loud voices.
1509
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,520
It has a bigger natural impact
than we realize.
1510
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:48,600
Okay.
But we're going to get better at
1511
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:49,480
it.
We're going to get better than
1512
01:25:49,480 --> 01:25:52,040
just being loud activists.
We want to get, we want to
1513
01:25:52,440 --> 01:25:55,520
upgrade how we do this so that
it has even more effect.
1514
01:25:55,920 --> 01:26:01,080
But the back to the court case.
So Scalia thought about this the
1515
01:26:01,440 --> 01:26:04,400
the the fact that the device
was, you know, wasn't in common
1516
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:09,080
use was one argument.
But the ultimate argument was
1517
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:12,080
that Scalia said, you know, we
live in a new world.
1518
01:26:12,790 --> 01:26:17,990
With high technology, we have to
interpret the intention of the
1519
01:26:17,990 --> 01:26:21,750
4th Amendment within the meaning
it had in the day it was
1520
01:26:21,750 --> 01:26:24,430
written.
And so he thought about it
1521
01:26:24,630 --> 01:26:32,710
carefully and he said the way we
rule on this, you know, setting
1522
01:26:32,710 --> 01:26:36,910
a precedent for the future, if
it changes the meaning of the
1523
01:26:36,910 --> 01:26:40,470
intention of the original intent
of the 4th Amendment, it's the
1524
01:26:40,470 --> 01:26:43,660
wrong ruling.
And so he thought about it
1525
01:26:43,660 --> 01:26:47,100
carefully and and ultimately and
he reversed it.
1526
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:51,540
And he said we cannot allow the
use of, you know, these devices
1527
01:26:51,540 --> 01:26:55,860
to just gather data on us.
Anything you gather has to be if
1528
01:26:55,900 --> 01:26:59,060
if the if you could not have
otherwise gathered it without
1529
01:26:59,060 --> 01:27:04,980
getting a warrant to enter the
home, then you violated their
1530
01:27:04,980 --> 01:27:07,420
rights and that evidence is not
permissible in court.
1531
01:27:07,580 --> 01:27:10,630
So it was a really good ruling.
From the Supreme Court, even
1532
01:27:10,630 --> 01:27:13,150
though the lower courts ruled
wrong at first, but I gained an
1533
01:27:13,150 --> 01:27:16,110
appreciation for the struggle
they were dealing with right
1534
01:27:16,950 --> 01:27:19,950
through that process.
So I then applied all of that
1535
01:27:19,950 --> 01:27:21,990
into this, this declaration.
Now that I've written, it's a
1536
01:27:21,990 --> 01:27:26,870
three page declaration on what
our rights are with with these
1537
01:27:26,870 --> 01:27:29,310
cameras and why facial
recognition is illegal.
1538
01:27:29,310 --> 01:27:34,190
And all this, this biometrics
and these declarations are now
1539
01:27:34,190 --> 01:27:37,950
asking cities to take down
cameras.
1540
01:27:38,450 --> 01:27:40,650
That they've installed if they
have facial recognition and to
1541
01:27:40,650 --> 01:27:43,850
not participate in these
programs, this is going to start
1542
01:27:43,850 --> 01:27:47,170
the conversation in a very
different way if we get more
1543
01:27:47,170 --> 01:27:50,530
people on board following this
program.
1544
01:27:50,530 --> 01:27:54,010
So that's an invitation to
listeners and anyone we have
1545
01:27:54,010 --> 01:27:56,610
this program.
It is well thought out.
1546
01:27:57,330 --> 01:28:00,970
It it we just need strength in
numbers now and people willing
1547
01:28:00,970 --> 01:28:03,610
to dedicate you know an hour a
month.
1548
01:28:04,820 --> 01:28:07,580
And and maybe your Monday night,
if you want to learn from Scott
1549
01:28:07,580 --> 01:28:09,700
Bradley so that you can do this
well.
1550
01:28:09,900 --> 01:28:12,660
But we're trying to do the heavy
lifting on the constitutional
1551
01:28:12,660 --> 01:28:15,660
arguments and then let everybody
use them.
1552
01:28:16,820 --> 01:28:22,620
So this new declaration I wrote
addresses this question of
1553
01:28:22,740 --> 01:28:25,700
expectation of privacy.
We absolutely have an
1554
01:28:25,700 --> 01:28:30,170
expectation of privacy on our.
Biometrics.
1555
01:28:30,170 --> 01:28:34,170
This is, this is like could they
have scanners in public that
1556
01:28:34,250 --> 01:28:37,690
look through our clothes?
You know, can cameras look
1557
01:28:37,690 --> 01:28:40,730
through and and you remember
this was a TSA question actually
1558
01:28:40,730 --> 01:28:42,130
rather than 11.
Only the TSA.
1559
01:28:42,330 --> 01:28:44,690
Right.
But even with the TSA, people
1560
01:28:44,690 --> 01:28:48,370
push back on that far enough
people don't know it that it
1561
01:28:48,370 --> 01:28:50,610
does that anymore because you
know, they used to have the
1562
01:28:50,610 --> 01:28:53,570
pictures where they you could
see through and you knew they
1563
01:28:53,570 --> 01:28:57,460
were taking these these.
Underclosed pictures of us, but
1564
01:28:57,460 --> 01:28:59,540
now that's out of sight, out of
mind.
1565
01:28:59,940 --> 01:29:02,700
People don't know that anymore.
They had to pull back because
1566
01:29:02,700 --> 01:29:05,620
people did push back on that.
But you because people didn't
1567
01:29:05,620 --> 01:29:09,100
accept that and same argument.
People wouldn't accept that out
1568
01:29:09,100 --> 01:29:11,820
in, in, in public if they knew
that was happening.
1569
01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:15,700
So.
So my eyeballs cannot be
1570
01:29:15,700 --> 01:29:19,460
observed casually by other human
beings, right?
1571
01:29:19,460 --> 01:29:23,380
My eyeball scans my facial
features, you know, documented
1572
01:29:23,420 --> 01:29:26,380
by a computer.
Mathematically cannot be
1573
01:29:26,380 --> 01:29:29,860
observed by the general public.
These are private features to
1574
01:29:29,860 --> 01:29:33,580
me.
I have a reasonable expectation
1575
01:29:33,940 --> 01:29:37,260
that those are private to me and
that cameras aren't harvesting
1576
01:29:37,260 --> 01:29:40,620
that data off of me.
This is a claim we have to
1577
01:29:40,620 --> 01:29:44,900
publicly start making now and we
need to deliver that those
1578
01:29:44,900 --> 01:29:50,140
claims to mayors, to city
councils, to sheriffs and saying
1579
01:29:50,140 --> 01:29:53,100
we will not accept this public
surveillance at this level.
1580
01:29:54,180 --> 01:29:57,380
Now if you have a camera for
safety, we've accepted that.
1581
01:29:57,380 --> 01:30:00,140
We're not even complaining about
that, but we want to shut down
1582
01:30:00,300 --> 01:30:02,620
the facial recognition databases
in the state.
1583
01:30:03,060 --> 01:30:05,860
That's kind of the goal.
So I think it's possible.
1584
01:30:06,660 --> 01:30:08,460
We just need more players on the
field.
1585
01:30:08,460 --> 01:30:11,500
Now I think more intelligent
people will come out of the
1586
01:30:11,500 --> 01:30:15,420
woodwork when they understand
this with better ideas, and
1587
01:30:15,420 --> 01:30:21,180
we're all going to work on this
together and we can find pockets
1588
01:30:21,180 --> 01:30:23,900
of freedom that blossom in the
state.
1589
01:30:24,670 --> 01:30:28,510
Even if you find a few here and
there, this ought to work really
1590
01:30:28,510 --> 01:30:31,590
well in rural communities.
Even just having rural
1591
01:30:31,590 --> 01:30:35,590
communities now case by case
basis, right?
1592
01:30:35,590 --> 01:30:38,950
But still, even having those
small pockets of freedom.
1593
01:30:39,390 --> 01:30:43,190
As this grows, bigger cities
will get jealous of the freedom
1594
01:30:43,190 --> 01:30:45,270
you have.
And also that sets precedent.
1595
01:30:45,470 --> 01:30:48,350
How come these three cities
aren't going along with this one
1596
01:30:48,350 --> 01:30:49,910
thing?
How come they don't have climate
1597
01:30:49,910 --> 01:30:52,270
lockdowns?
You know, in this part so.
1598
01:30:52,530 --> 01:30:55,370
This is why, one reason why high
density housing.
1599
01:30:55,370 --> 01:31:00,010
You know that the the elite want
to squash us into a manageables
1600
01:31:00,050 --> 01:31:02,770
the the four county area.
That's their goal. 4 counties
1601
01:31:03,130 --> 01:31:06,570
that they you know they say by
2050 they they don't want any
1602
01:31:06,570 --> 01:31:12,170
rural areas even populated.
Their backup plan is that if
1603
01:31:12,170 --> 01:31:15,010
those rural areas stay populated
and they can't quite move people
1604
01:31:15,010 --> 01:31:17,400
away.
Then they're just going to have
1605
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,400
many smart cities they want to
put smart infrastructure to.
1606
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,920
They want Total Information
awareness with their technology.
1607
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,280
So today we've got to start
declaring why it's wrong.
1608
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:30,760
We've got to say no, it is not
the end of the world like it
1609
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:32,720
feels like.
When we read the headlines, I
1610
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:38,160
want to tell people that OK,
they set ambitious goals by
1611
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,160
20-30.
We're going to have, you know, a
1612
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:42,680
World Economic Forum inspired
new world order.
1613
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,660
It's just a goal they have.
You know, they've had, they had
1614
01:31:46,660 --> 01:31:50,860
goals to be a Soviet US by 1976.
That was right.
1615
01:31:50,860 --> 01:31:52,380
That was one of their original
goals.
1616
01:31:52,380 --> 01:31:55,900
They always have goals and they
are getting closer to them.
1617
01:31:56,060 --> 01:31:59,860
And it is true that we shouldn't
waste time, but let's not waste
1618
01:31:59,860 --> 01:32:02,900
time running after things that
don't work, right?
1619
01:32:03,060 --> 01:32:07,620
Let's understand the Founders
patterns, let's understand the
1620
01:32:07,620 --> 01:32:12,100
scriptural patterns and then
let's apply them well, let's
1621
01:32:12,140 --> 01:32:14,540
execute them as best and quickly
as we can.
1622
01:32:15,010 --> 01:32:17,410
And it's okay that we fail and
it might not work perfectly, but
1623
01:32:17,410 --> 01:32:23,810
we'll keep trying and I believe
this will catch on and will end
1624
01:32:24,170 --> 01:32:27,330
the conspiracies, influence and
their authority over us.
1625
01:32:27,770 --> 01:32:32,130
So then, from an LDS
perspective, a free society
1626
01:32:32,130 --> 01:32:36,330
prepares the way for any hopes
of Zion after that from a
1627
01:32:36,370 --> 01:32:38,890
political standpoint.
Dude, that's awesome.
1628
01:32:38,890 --> 01:32:42,530
I am so jacked up.
Where can people go to find more
1629
01:32:42,530 --> 01:32:46,330
information on this again?
Okay, so defending utah.org.
1630
01:32:47,210 --> 01:32:51,730
I would invite people to join.
Become a member and learn with
1631
01:32:51,730 --> 01:32:53,850
us.
Each week there's a membership
1632
01:32:53,850 --> 01:32:55,810
tab.
If you want to read just about
1633
01:32:55,810 --> 01:33:01,210
committees at first, you can go
to defendingutah.org/solutions
1634
01:33:01,210 --> 01:33:04,450
Part one Okay and then that will
lead you to Solutions Part 2.
1635
01:33:04,870 --> 01:33:07,950
We do have a Liberty Boot camp
on our website.
1636
01:33:07,950 --> 01:33:11,590
If you click on that, that's a
lot more of the the background
1637
01:33:11,630 --> 01:33:14,110
on why the Constitution matters,
secret combinations.
1638
01:33:14,230 --> 01:33:17,550
It's a great foundation and if
you want to geek out on it and
1639
01:33:17,710 --> 01:33:19,030
get everything, you can go
through that.
1640
01:33:19,030 --> 01:33:21,510
But if you just, but if you're
already there, you're already,
1641
01:33:22,190 --> 01:33:24,270
you know, stalwart for the
Constitution.
1642
01:33:24,710 --> 01:33:26,830
You can start with this
committee, Solutions Part One
1643
01:33:26,830 --> 01:33:30,710
and Solutions Part 2, then join
our meetings.
1644
01:33:31,140 --> 01:33:34,340
And you know, work with me
personally, I'll mentor anyone
1645
01:33:34,460 --> 01:33:39,140
to walk through this and and
we'll go from there.
1646
01:33:39,820 --> 01:33:42,180
Perfect.
I am so excited to see where
1647
01:33:42,180 --> 01:33:45,260
this goes.
So promise me as you get more
1648
01:33:46,100 --> 01:33:50,300
kind of case by case data back
on how this has worked, promise
1649
01:33:50,300 --> 01:33:52,380
me you'll come back on and tell
us about it, All right?
1650
01:33:53,140 --> 01:33:54,500
Sure, definitely.
Yeah.
1651
01:33:54,500 --> 01:33:56,740
We've got, we've got a lot of
initial examples.
1652
01:33:58,090 --> 01:34:00,130
But definitely, yeah, we'll keep
coming back.
1653
01:34:00,130 --> 01:34:02,970
We'll keep talking, absolutely.
Awesome.
1654
01:34:03,370 --> 01:34:05,410
All right.
Happy 4th of July, everybody.
1655
