00:00:07.060This is, like I said earlier, my constitutional oath is to, you know, of course, the Constitution of the United States, so long as it exists.
00:00:13.940Now, once they've destroyed it, and if we're not able to actually enforce it, then I think we default back to the Articles of Confederation.

00:01:10.800Do you want to fight? You better believe you've got one!
00:01:18.060Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to War Room Live. I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
00:01:21.800Coming to you live, the Ides of October, the 15th of October. And good Lord, a time is flying.
00:01:27.960I'm in studio with the one and only Stuart Rhodes.
00:01:30.960I don't have a sheet where to tell people where to go, but hopefully everybody watching knows you well.
00:01:35.500Founder of the Oath Keepers, J6 political prisoner, political activists still involved.
00:01:41.320You didn't run away, and I commend you for it every time I see you because I'm not sure I would have the fortitude after going through what you went through to stay in the game.0.54
00:01:49.740I would be on an island in Costa Rica or something just relaxing.
00:01:58.180I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and I'm going to keep doing that until the Constitution no longer exists, which is not too far away, actually.
00:02:06.460It seems like it's coming quick, and we were actually just talking about this before the show because clearly the Constitution is, like, not really a thing anymore or, like, where it applies seems totally arbitrary.
00:02:18.520It's only ever used to stop people from correcting problems or allowing criminals to get away with things.
00:02:24.300The example I keep bringing up because it's so like sort of egregious for me. We have a story today about how, you know, what's his name? Jack Smith was making lists of people who bought MAGA hats and banks were canceling accounts of MAGA supporters.
00:02:39.460Meanwhile, a judge recently decided that you're allowed to create child pornography with AI because that's under free speech.
00:02:46.560So it's like, OK, free speech, the concept of the First Amendment doesn't really seem to apply to political speech anymore, but it does apply to pornography and degeneracy and just the worst stuff ever.
00:02:56.080So it's like, what even is this? What are we even doing here? This is not what the First Amendment was supposed to be about.
00:03:01.320No, what we're really under is a judicial oligarchy.
00:03:05.020Like, I was a student at Yale Law School.
00:03:06.960It basically came down to just case law.
00:03:10.060So the Constitution is whatever the judges say it is.
00:03:54.220But the point is that one thing that Madison said is after that experience, he valued the Bill of Rights for this purpose, that it's a benchmark you can point to and say, you've crossed the line.
00:04:04.020And they both authored the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which said, when you violate the Constitution, we, the state legislature, not the federal judges, we will say it's unconstitutional, we will declare it null and void, and we will interpose and defend our citizens against it, interposition.
00:04:21.060So we need to get back to that original understanding.
00:04:23.020Because the original understanding of the Founding Fathers was not that the Supreme Court was the final arbiter of anything.
00:04:29.980Every officer, all the way down the line, in states, legislatures also, and the governor, had an obligation and duty to interpret the Constitution and say no to things that they determined were unconstitutional.
00:04:41.920So that's why we live under oligarchy now, just nine judges and dresses.
00:04:45.080Yeah, well, and it's like, what matters more, the letter of the law or the intent of the law?
00:04:49.820I feel like we we we sort of adhere to like what the Constitution, the Bill of Rights says, but the spirit has been totally lost.
00:04:58.160Another example, like the First Amendment, I think is one where, you know, our political speech has been curtailed, but it's it's invoked with all these inappropriate, in my opinion, concepts.
00:05:07.520And then you've got things like the Fifth Amendment, you know, where it's the idea that the reason this exists is to stop the government from making up charges or, you know,
00:10:35.880This is, like I said earlier, my constitutional oath is to, you know, of course, the Constitution of the United States, so long as it exists.
00:10:42.240now once they've destroyed it and if we're not able to actually enforce it then i think we default
00:10:48.600back to the articles of confederation see i think we're already there that's maybe maybe that's a
00:10:52.800difference i'm like i'm like the constitution it's it's only ever invoked right for terrible
00:10:57.160things that it shouldn't apply to and yet and yet actual like constitutional crises that we should
00:11:02.000be facing is nobody cares right so but all i'm saying is i wouldn't concede i wouldn't say that
00:11:07.260The Constitution, you have to violate it.
00:15:09.040And so going back to your point about the First Amendment, we see recent arrests now where a person criticizes Israel and they get arrested and for disturbing the peace.
00:16:07.600Yeah, so, and, like, that is probably the biggest threat to the First Amendment at this point, these little anti-Semitism laws that they're getting into place, and, you know, it's why the founders were brilliant in the way that they phrased things.
00:16:19.640I guess I'm thinking of the Second Amendment, but it can't be abridged.
00:17:01.260They had Bills of Rights in each state.
00:17:02.700Like, Virginia had its own Bill of Rights already.
00:17:04.420So they modeled the federal Bill of Rights on the existing state Bill of Rights and said,
00:17:10.020let's put in place provisions that will hopefully prevent all the abuses that cause us to take up arms against the king from happening again.
00:17:18.260That's why the Bill of Rights is really a reflection of all the things that were done that violated their rights that they rebelled against.
00:17:24.740And so that was originally applied only to the federal government.
00:17:27.160Only after the 14th Amendment, then later, the Supreme Court, one case after another, started applying through the Due Process Clause in the 14th Amendment, started applying the Bill of Rights to the states.
00:17:38.140Because the 14th Amendment, I'll read you the text real quick.
00:17:40.760It'll be good for the audience to hear this.
00:17:44.000Yeah, and the 14th Amendment is colloquially referred to as the Birthright Citizenship Clause, right?
00:18:18.100So the long, slow degradation of our federal government.
00:18:23.140So here it is. All right. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject of the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
00:18:33.020No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny any persons within its jurisdiction the equal protection of laws.
00:18:46.880there you go so that is what they have used to just take the bill of rights and just use it
00:18:52.680against the states interesting yeah that's where you wind up with federal judges wherever
00:18:56.740saying that once a legal alien crosses the the border and puts his foot down on u.s soil he has
00:19:03.580all the same rights as you and me it's so ridiculous and you know it comes from that right yeah and so
00:19:09.240it's just so you know what we're a century and a half into this uh degradation into this like
00:19:15.660misapplication of of the constitution uh and people don't seem to realize it and again it's
00:19:20.760you know it's almost it's almost sad that it's like really i look around and i see the problems
00:19:24.980that you know young people have no idea what's going on and just want you know free stuff and
00:19:30.020it's like it it really does at the end of the day get back to like basic elementary education of
00:19:35.140like here are our rights here's why we have them here's why they're important people just have no
00:19:38.920idea anymore no idea where it came from yeah or why it was made what you're protected against
00:19:44.000They just put the light switch and lights come on.
00:19:46.200They don't understand what it took to get that and build that.
00:19:49.700Yeah, exactly, and what it's going to take to rebuild it if we lose it, you know, at this point.1.00
00:19:55.520That's like my good friend Mike Vandabeau, the founder of the 3%er movement.1.00
00:22:37.700Really, yeah. There's something about these guys. I don't know what it is, but yeah, obviously there was divine intervention.
00:22:46.000And it took 1,776 years for humanity to develop to the point that we created the republic.
00:22:52.780I really do think it was like almost a capstone on civilizational accomplishment.
00:22:58.080I've often said that the American Bill of Rights is kind of like the high watermark, the original Bill of Rights is the high watermark of Western civilization.
00:23:05.060right right and we we've done some great things since then but the just what it took to develop
00:23:10.640the men with the moral character and the intelligence and the the hit the knowledge
00:23:15.700of history i mean you're you're talking about something that literally required an unbroken
00:23:20.580chain of development for a thousand seven hundred years and that's what we're losing right now and
00:23:24.580fortitude yeah yeah yeah courage courage the the not just the knowledge and the the understanding
00:23:30.460of of how to do this but the will to take the risk to make it happen knowledge is useless yeah
00:23:35.040So it's like what we're losing now, yeah, they want us to go back to the 1770s before America, but really they want us to take us back to feudalism and just abject slavery.
00:23:46.800So we're going to talk about how we avoid that, how we fight back on the other side.
00:39:34.560So they're bringing in—if you're a Somalian, what does a Somalian have in common with an American whose father served in World War II or Vietnam and who also served this country?0.82
00:39:50.420They don't care that your forefathers were slaves and then pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and did like a Frederick Douglass and made something of themselves.
00:40:23.940But it's one of those things that if, you know, if I knew that there was a black country that was being replaced, you think I'd be OK with that?1.00
00:40:31.080So, you know, I expect everybody of every race to give white people the benefit of the doubt, just like we give any other race the benefit of the doubt or appreciation and say, hey, I may not be you, but you deserve to achieve your destiny just like any other races.0.54
00:40:47.560I just think it's, I mean, I just think this is the issue.
00:40:50.240I think if clearly it's what the attack is being based on, and as we've explained over
00:40:55.340and over, and I often reference the Smithsonian document where they say, here are the aspects
00:41:05.040It's like being a man, literally, they're just like, yeah, I think gender roles is one0.67
00:41:10.080of the things that they put in there as under whiteness.0.87
00:41:12.440So it's like, okay, they've defined Western civilization, all the great things that Western
00:41:15.760civilization is brought about as quote-unquote whiteness and then they've demonized whiteness
00:41:19.620because they're trying to destroy these things the things that they call whiteness so it doesn't
00:41:23.160even matter if you consider whiteness something different this is what the attack is based on
00:41:27.620right so it's what the defense has to be based on as well i got a funny story from prison so in
00:41:31.520prison i hung out with a i was in the white car and i hung out with a with a white marine named
00:41:36.400driver went by he's a truck driver driver and a black marine named rob awesome guy both of them
00:41:42.800were like the most fit dudes you've ever seen freaking like stereotypical marines in prison
00:41:47.460they let all the workouts so but rob would hang out with those white guys he refused to hang out0.59
00:41:52.740with black guys he didn't like black thug culture he liked to hang out with us so he joked that he
00:41:58.120was white adjacent right he actually heard on some kind of like npr thing about white adjacent0.97
00:42:03.140americans are also a problem too so if you're if you act like a white guy in other words you show
00:42:07.640up on time and work hard you're not a thug then you're doing your white adjacent right so i would1.00
00:42:12.460I would say the message is all the proud boys out there that are black and Hispanic that were in the streets beating the crap out of Antifa, you're just white-adjacent.0.99
00:43:00.700And that's sort of the thing is the understanding that, like, okay, the West used to be called Christendom because it was defined by Christianity, and it was Europe.
00:43:09.200So it's like, okay, when you say the West, what you're talking about is Christianity and Europeans.
00:43:13.280And that's something I think they've tried to separate that by calling it the West.0.70
00:43:27.980I don't know if you saw the interview with Tucker Carlson and Jacob Rees-Mogg where they got into World War II and Tucker's like, I don't think you guys even won World War II because look at your country now.
00:43:37.900But I'm surprised they didn't get into like what were the things that drove the war cause for England because they didn't know about the death camps.
00:43:46.720They didn't know about the persecution.
00:43:48.400It wasn't for the Jews that they went after Germany.0.70
00:43:50.460it was because the uh german government was totalitarian because it wouldn't allow free
00:43:54.860speech because it violated the principles that we considered sacred in western uh communities
00:44:00.600western society and i believe they're treated with france right what i believe that oh well
00:44:05.880the uk did yeah well right it was about it was about invading sovereign territory and breaking
00:44:11.080promises and all this sort of stuff but it's like okay well look at the uk now you arrest 60 000
00:44:15.500people for speech in in five years you're doing the thing that you went to war with the nazis over
00:44:21.320if in the beginning it was about preserving western civilization which is what the argument
00:44:26.440was that got people to go to war with the nazis was these people are not western they don't believe
00:44:30.580in free speech they don't believe in you know any of this uh stuff that we in the west believe in
00:44:34.780and yet we're so far off that now the uk is you know arguably more censorious than uh you know
00:44:41.880russia or anywhere else for that matter and we're now seeing that happen here like you said you
00:44:46.560know get florida and apparently georgia is also that way and we even see it here in texas yeah
00:44:51.760examples of people being visited by the police because of posts they put on facebook criticizing
00:44:56.480israel yeah and if they can't do it legally then they do it through private organizations like
00:45:02.060stop anti-semitism where if you say something they don't like online they research you and
00:45:06.440find out where you're employed and call your employer and try to destroy your life that way
00:45:09.460It's extrajudicial punishment from this, you know, one group of people that have no right to dictate to the rest of us what we're allowed to believe.
00:45:17.540And yet they claim to be, like you said, a bastion of Western civilization.
00:45:22.840And again, if we actually value Western civilization, we have to actually value Western civilization and not be led down the wrong trail by a bunch of Israelis who want to replace Jesus with their country in the Bible.0.95
