Dollars coming into the state to flip it blue he kept it red welcome alan west how are you hey it’s good to be with you glenn and merry christmas merry christmas so you said something uh this weekend if i may quote supreme court in tossing texas lawsuit that was joined by 17 states
106 u.s congressmen has decreed the state can take an unconstitutional action and violate its own election law resulting in damaging effects on the other states that abide by the law while the guilty state suffers no consequence this decision establishes as a president precedent that says states can violate the u.s
Constitution and not be held accountable this decision will have far reaching ramifications for the future of our constitutional republic perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a union of states that will abide by the constitution i i’m for that i’d like to know what you mean by that
Well it’s very simple glenn and i know that there are some people that have shown their ignorance and confidence saying that i’m calling for succession when actually the people that are violating and not following the constitution are the seditionists and those that are advocating secession the bottom line is that how will states
Be able to protect themselves if by our constitution if states have a grievance and they do have a first amendment right to petition their government for rejects or defense if they have a grievance against another state the original jurisdiction of that by the constitution goes to the supreme
Court but yet the supreme court just said in their decision last week friday that uh they’re not going to hear it they toss it out so how do we make sure that states who are following the law and they are you know receiving damages because of states that did illegal act
Activities unconstitutional actions violating their own election law by having courts by having secretaries of state by having governors change election law where do they go to redress their grievances and so i think it is very important very imperative that we do start looking at how these states
Uh if we’re going to have a more perfect union which is what the preamble of the constitution said and abide by the constitution they have to look at how they combine together and have a strong voice if the supreme court is going to continue to take this stance of not protecting
Law-abiding states which under the 14th amendment there is an equal protection under the law clause so let’s let’s stick with the supreme court decision first and then we’ll get to the rest of this um the supreme court uh did reject hearing it i think that was a massive mistake
Especially when half the country feels like nobody’s listening to us nobody’s even listening to us they should have listened whether that changed the outcome or not it should have been ruled on however the one thing that was ruled on uh was the the case itself they threw it out
And even scalia uh barrett uh and not scalia but uh god why do we keep screwing him up with alito alito and uh and thomas agreed with not hearing it what does that tell you if anything well it tells me that i i am very concerned that the article three of the
Constitution says that courts are supposed to interpret law now if all of a sudden we have justices that decide you know that they’re not going to interpret the law they have actually abdicated one of their enumerated duties and responsibilities so they should have at least heard the
Case should have allowed the evidence to come forward and make a decision on it and not just simply say we’re not going to accept the case and so therefore it comes back to my statement what protection do law-abiding states have against states that are going out there and violating
The constitution and violating law you cannot have states that all of a sudden decide we’re going to have this universal mail and ballot thing you don’t have to have signature verifications we’ll accept these ballots anytime after the the uh november the third election day look at what has happened in new york
Claudia tinney is supposedly up by 12 ballots and then guess what happens oh we found 12 ballots so if you want to talk about disenfranchising legal voters it’s these unconstitutional acts that are doing it but like you just said where do people go where do states go
To have their voices heard the right to petition their government for redress of grievances that is the foundation of our declaration of independence that thomas jefferson wrote so what did what do i would imagine the ag’s would need to get together and and do this together to make sure that they are
Blocking unconstitutional rulings etc etc what does that mean to you in in your eyes how do they do that well i mean i am not a lawyer by trade i’m just a simple stupid paratrooper that took a note to the constitution back in 1982
And i just see this as a threat i see this is a fracture to our constitutional republic so it’s not just the state attorney generals it’s also the state legislators if you are a state legislator in georgia pennsylvania michigan or wisconsin you need to rise up you need to stand up
And say that we cannot allow the the uh the judicial branch in our state or the executive branch in our state to supersede and to usurp our our our duties and our responsibilities they cannot change law we’re the ones that have been duly elected by the people to do such
So i think another thing that needs to happen these state legislatures need to bond together and i would hope that the state legislatures in these respective four states pennsylvania georgia michigan wisconsin will take an action to take a stand today do you see that happening have you heard any rumblings of that
I i have not and it just goes back to me asking the question is the courage that it took uh back in 1776 for those 56 men to stand up and establish these united states of america i am really concerned that we still have that courage in this country
I have often thought of the only words that were spoken by george washington during the actual constitutional convention um they of course new york was looking for special exceptions and handouts as usual uh and ben franklin had fought and fought a fought against it and they were starting to get you know
Starting to enter into really horse trading and it was getting ugly and the whole room stopped and ben franklin looked at george washington and he he stood up and the only thing he really said during the convention were these words let us raise a banner but the wise and the honest can repair
The rest is in the hands of god uh and what he meant by that was do the right thing we haven’t come this far to screw it up just do the right thing and it will be repairable in the future because they’ll see that we tried to do
The right thing and they’ll want to do the right thing but also when you do the right thing god’s going to do what god’s going to do and just accept the consequences one way or another now you’re absolutely right and you know a lot of people took some uh consternation with that
Final sentence in my statement but if you go to the preamble of our constitution what does it say it says we the people of these of the united states in order to form a more perfect union what’s the very first thing establish justice so what our founding fathers knew was
That in order to have a more perfect union we had to have a constitution we had to have a rule of law if we have gotten to the point where we don’t believe in that rule of law we’re not going to have a more perfect union
And that’s why i talked about a union the words that they use of law-abiding states that abide by the constitution that’s how we have a perfect union and you’re right leaders what i learned in the military leaders know what right looks like and leaders don’t pick and choose when
To do what is right which comes back to what the supreme court did last friday you do what is right all the time you interpret the law that is your responsibility by the constitution and now states have to be concerned where do we go to redress our grievances if the highest
Court in the land which by original jurisdiction that’s the only court we could go to decided to not listen to us so alan let me let me ask you a difficult question say all of these things fail and on the 20th of january or whatever it is
Uh the uh joe biden is sworn in and uh that’s just the ruling of the the you know courts in the system and the and the legislatures and all of that what is it going to take to get people to come back into the fold and and not split apart
Well i think when you just said the ruling of the chorus first and foremost the courts need to hear the people and if the courts refuse to to hear the people then you’re going to have an issue come uh january the 20th and we cannot live in a country where every single time
There is a republican that is elected george w bush is illegitimate when donald trump is elected he’s a legitimate let’s resist him when amy coney barrett is uh brought onto the supreme court by constitutional process she’s illegitimate brett kavanaugh is illegitimate we cannot have progressive socialists that believe that they can rule by
Absolutism and totalitarianism and everything that doesn’t agree with them is illegitimate so i think that the first and foremost the american people need to go by the electoral process the ballot process but if you start to have mandates edicts orders and decrees that are handed down such as red flag laws such as
Mandatory gun buybacks you know these things i believe that the the american people have a right to say no you
