I’m sorry uh that’s the supreme court and i know the civil war settled it did it did it really uh yeah the the the constitution uh and the the union the vote to get into it is not a suicide pact it’s not if it’s killing freedom if i make quote
Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to write themselves by abolishing the forms which they are accustomed that’s why that’s what’s happening now with us with kovind
You know it’s a it’s we know that it’s tyranny we know that it’s bad we know that they don’t really have a right to do this but what are we gonna do about it is that a light and transient cause well if we wanted to say we’re going to
Get out because of that or i want to get out because of the because of the vote that’s a light and transient cause but when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object it vince’s a design to reduce them under absolute despotism it is their right it is their
Duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security but see here’s the here’s the the the point that i think we all need to look at and that is what’s the long train of abuses and usurpations because in the declaration of independence there’s tons of them and they’re
Really really really bad because if i may go to the beginning of the declaration of indica independence when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and
Equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s god entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of mankind require that we should declare the causes that impel us to that separation so we have to we have to be very clear on the causes so what are those
Causes because i don’t think there’s much disagreement well there will be from the left now if donald trump would have been in office they would have been making this case but you have a harder time when you say i want a different country because the declaration of independence
Says it’s over a long train of uh um abuses and usurpations and you’re losing the freedom that this government so if the government is tyrannical then you have the right to be able to get out you don’t have the right unless you’re living under tyranny you have the right and the duty if
You’re living under tyranny and not some made-up tyranny not like oh slavery 150 years ago no what what are the what’s happening today what’s happening to you right now kovid is a good example but it’s one but is that is covid is covid a long train of abuses and usurpations
Pursuing invariably the same object are these abuses going down the road the same road pursuing the same object total control over people with the great reset and everything else that’s going on i think you’re i think you’re you could make a case do we have him on yet oh we do
Okay um we have kyle biederman on uh kyle is a is a state rep from texas and he’s proposing a bill to allow texas to vote on secession welcome kyle how are you well glenn thank you very much for letting me be on and i don’t know how
Much more i can say than what you’ve already said this morning and i really appreciate you going right back to the actual words of our founding fathers because what’s happening the negatives i’m getting which are very few um come back to the fact that i don’t love a miracle
Well you listen to every word you’ve said glenn we love america and that’s why we need to do something about these abuses yeah they are dismissing the things that made america america that’s the declaration of independence and the constitution but let me give you the words from the texas constitution all political power
Is inherent in the people all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their benefit the faith of the people of texas stands pledge to the preservation of a republican form of government and subject to this limitation only they have at all times the inalienable
Right to alter reform or abolish their government in such a manner as they may think expedient does that mean the government of the state or the government they’ve aligned themselves with well that is so true and uh with texas as well as every state um the the constitution does not deny us the
Ability to um to leave a lot of people say that that says that but again the constitution has the powers that are not delegated to the united states by the constitution uh or prohibited by it to the states are preserved to the states respectively or the people
Right the people is the real key word plan the people are the ones that um can rise up and and call out their government for the abuses and uh call out their government for the grievances uh that they are um entitled to uh make known and we have so many grievances
And the people’s voice is what’s not been heard so that’s what needs to be heard right now so the real question is um the grievances do they i mean let me go back to the um the uh declaration of independence governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes
If you read the declaration of independence the things the king was doing to people is much more than what’s happening to us now so what are those reasons and do they rise to the level of get out we’re not going to be a part of this
Well i’m going to tell you what the biggest problem is the states have not they’ve given up their uh authority and the power that the council has given them so it’s really the state’s fault that allowed us to be in the position that we’re in but some of the grievances would be our
First amendment rights without a bill of rights that has been trampled on by this federal government and so we’ve got our first amendment rights our second amendment rights and of course free speech religious freedom um the tenth amendment of course which is all about states rights all these things are inherent rights
That have been given to us that no one can take so uh they’re very similar to what england did to the colonists um uh you know back in the revolutionary time so i would say that um the grievances are major especially when it comes to the regulation
Um the forming of of agencies and taking over health care and everything else that has been done by the federal government that it’s not their authority so the states are the problem they’ve given it to them so if this were just a vote uh
I would vote for it but if this were a i think i think um i’d have to really listen to the the whole argument if this were like brex brexit i would vote for it because it doesn’t mean war this is this will not be taken
I mean you’re just not going to secede and uh you know living in texas and knowing texans i’m like yeah go ahead stop them um but uh nobody wants that nobody wants that so you’re exactly right you’re exactly right and when you when you compare it to brexit that’s exactly what this is
It is okay what do we do to get their attention what do we do to get the discussion going not just in against the federal government grievances but grievances our own state so we give the people a voice we let them vote and then we if they vote yes then the
Government needs to listen to the people and the discussion begins it could take years and we don’t know where all that’s going to go so this isn’t a this is not a uh pick up your guns this is a an answer when people say okay so we’ve tried everything
What next this is let’s get their attention by all standing together and saying we’re not going to be a part of this very much longer that’s exactly right that is exactly it that’s all the bill says and even if even if the legislature allows me to bring this bill through the
Legislature have the discussion the discussion is not post what’s going to happen after the people vote yes if they decide to vote yes for this ability to reassert their status as an independent nation now after that the bill will also delineate now is when the when committees need to be formed
The texas legislature federal government now we start the discussion on all those other things but if we don’t get that discussion going then we’re never going to be correct to talk about these issues that are happening in our state and in our country and other states are watching us
And they want to follow us and texas needs to lead on this issue so kyle does this bill say that we are seceding or that we have the right to secede this bill just says that we have the right to reassert our status we are the bill passes we don’t leave all that
Does is now we start the process of the discussion forcing the legislature the government of texas and the federal government to actually start talking about it and of course with the other states so a lot of people get worried that we’re going to be succeeding if we vote yes no we’re not
Going to be proceeding with the vote yes all right and uh have you seen any poll numbers on this do you think this would pass well when you look at the poll numbers that have been happening for the last five years it is trending upwards yeah um very much
And we do have polls where we have the majority of texans that are in favor of this but when i’m looking right now since i put out my announcement about a week ago the response has been tremendous it’s been from all over the world i’m telling you glenn that
It’s been tremendous and again the people that are worried are worried in a way of the things that you just said we do we want to be careful that this doesn’t cause a civil war well that’s not what this is about uh they’re worried that oh the
Next day we vote and then we’re seceded no that’s not the case there’s too much to go through and we have a great example with brexit brexit the people voted then it took four years after the legislature and that was just getting out of the uh european union right
So this is this is really just uh putting some chips down on our side of the table you know you’re not listening to us so we’re gonna just lay a few more chips down on the table maybe that will get your attention that’s exactly what it is that’s a good
Idea this is texas and you know texas oh i know you go right back to the alamo you go right back to the spirit of texas and that spirit is inside texas they just have allowed it to get too far uh you know to uh they have not really acted
Well as they should with the rate this is gonna wake people up with the rate of people moving into this state i am very concerned about that spirit because the texans are uh i’ve always felt are born kind of feeling that uh but it seems to be changing it’s not gone
Uh i think it’s still the majority but it’s it’s moving in another direction fast and we could become california fast
