WEBVTT 00:01.140 --> 00:02.020 Just a minute 00:04.740 --> 00:05.640 I'm coming 00:08.360 --> 00:09.460 Just a minute 00:13.000 --> 00:16.680 Hello everybody, this is legal man. Welcome to show. This is gonna be a good episode 00:16.680 --> 00:21.740 I'm gonna continue this ratification any Federalist kind of series I've been running and today 00:21.740 --> 00:23.020 I'm gonna do something a little different 00:23.020 --> 00:29.480 I'm going to make some proposed amendments to the Articles of Confederation that will address the supposed 00:30.140 --> 00:35.980 Problems that existed without the need to have to get rid of the entire document and for people who don't know me 00:35.980 --> 00:38.240 I'm a lawyer a practice for more than 35 years 00:38.240 --> 00:43.320 I'm America's most trusted beloved lawyer because I tell people the truth and the truth is I was a 00:43.980 --> 00:49.040 Constitutional conservative believer a dupe for years and years and years believed all this stupid crap about our old 00:49.040 --> 00:54.460 Confederation didn't work. We had to have the Constitution three co-equal branches and brilliance and document and I 00:54.460 --> 01:00.600 Just got so stupid the stuff I believed I ran around defending it and promoting it for years and years and years 01:00.600 --> 01:02.500 And then about 25 years ago 01:02.500 --> 01:06.400 I got the internet and a fairly short order I started figuring out the whole thing's a scam 01:06.400 --> 01:09.140 It's a con a griff to keep me on a tax-paying plantation 01:09.720 --> 01:15.700 And when I figured that out I became self-certified as a master practitioner and I don't need constitutional conservatives anymore 01:16.260 --> 01:20.900 I've also given myself a lifetime achievement award for the hundreds and hundreds of timeless podcasts 01:20.900 --> 01:23.160 I've made explaining the way the system actually works 01:23.160 --> 01:27.720 I gave myself a lifetime achievement award for the incredible job. I did playing 01:28.640 --> 01:31.760 Nathaniel Jones in Jones Plantation and 01:32.320 --> 01:38.040 Recently I've given myself a fake Nobel Peace Prize for the way I 01:38.040 --> 01:40.620 Performed in Barnum World as Natty 01:40.620 --> 01:42.660 Helping to bring the world together 01:43.560 --> 01:46.580 and I love having fake awards and credentials and 01:47.280 --> 01:50.920 Citations and everything else because that entire system is a control system 01:50.920 --> 01:58.220 See they make sure that people have to get licensed and accredited or a lifetime achievement awards or something else in order to practice 01:58.220 --> 02:03.220 Professions and to be able to make a living the way it works is they force everybody to memorize 02:03.220 --> 02:07.360 officialdom and regurgitate it but turns out officialdom is all a pack of lies 02:07.360 --> 02:13.760 And so if you don't do that properly then they take away your license of certification or your lifetime achievement award 02:13.760 --> 02:18.620 And everybody saw that during COVID when certain doctors nurses and academics spoke up 02:18.620 --> 02:25.620 They tried to destroy him professionally take away their ability to make a living and this is the way they always use this system in 02:25.620 --> 02:29.580 order to make sure that the lies can be promulgated officially and 02:29.580 --> 02:36.060 Until people understand the absurdity of having government in the position of being the arbiter of who can or can't 02:36.060 --> 02:42.760 Practice this job or say this or an expert there until people can understand how I'm saying that is we have no chance 02:43.320 --> 02:47.080 So I like to make fun of it and mock it and hope people catch on 02:47.680 --> 02:50.300 Okay, enough about all that. Let's go ahead and get the show going 02:50.300 --> 02:56.520 So I want to make a show today continue the ratification any federalist kind of series 02:56.520 --> 03:00.740 And what I want to do today is I want to talk about 03:00.740 --> 03:06.760 ways they could have simply amended the articles of Confederation and 03:07.560 --> 03:10.160 Made them work really completely fine 03:10.160 --> 03:16.160 Even if you want to believe any of these so-called problems they claim existed 03:16.160 --> 03:21.700 And I've spent many many episodes showing people that these problems are mostly just imaginary 03:21.700 --> 03:26.940 They didn't really exist there may have been some problems somewhere some minor something or other 03:26.940 --> 03:33.040 But the way they made it out to be this crisis situation and that the artist Confederation 03:33.040 --> 03:37.400 Was just hopeless and too weak and couldn't work and blah blah you always hear the same thing 03:37.400 --> 03:42.580 They were failing it was too weak and couldn't work and blah blah blah. It's always the same every time 03:42.580 --> 03:47.980 But you know, I've spent many episodes looking into where are these actual problems? 03:48.240 --> 03:52.960 And there really aren't any problems the problems are all the same and that is there was no money 03:52.960 --> 03:57.320 This idea that the states were all fighting and there's all these problems. It's just they're not an issue 03:57.320 --> 04:03.280 There's a way to resolve disputes between the states that existed in the artist Confederation 04:03.280 --> 04:09.980 And it just really was never used the states weren't really fighting like that. It's true. They were disagreements 04:10.840 --> 04:12.620 There's disagreements in Congress 04:13.440 --> 04:20.060 There's disagreements about how to do things there always are it doesn't mean you have to throw it all out and get a new government 04:20.060 --> 04:23.660 That's just all complete and utter nonsense. That's all 04:24.300 --> 04:26.620 it's just complete and utter nonsense and 04:26.620 --> 04:30.780 What I want to do is this is not a 04:32.160 --> 04:32.760 supposedly 04:34.560 --> 04:39.500 Comprehensive analysis of all the amendments and anything else. It's just I 04:40.240 --> 04:41.980 Sat down and spent some time 04:41.980 --> 04:43.740 Looking at these so-called 04:43.740 --> 04:50.620 allegations about what the so-called problems were and then just kind of noodling out a few different kinds of 04:50.620 --> 04:58.440 Proposals that could be put out there and my personal belief is that the problems with the artist Confederation to the extent they were ever 04:59.000 --> 05:05.040 Legitimate which I know in fact they weren't but to the extent they ever were they could have easily been worked out 05:05.040 --> 05:08.960 But to the extent that they wanted an actual 05:08.960 --> 05:15.980 Additional sovereign power over and above the states and the people for all practical purposes to run their little game 05:15.980 --> 05:22.680 Then amending the artist Confederation was never going to work and that's why the entire 05:22.680 --> 05:28.620 Narrative about how the articles were failing. They couldn't work. They had to be replaced 05:28.620 --> 05:33.000 Everybody knew it blah blah blah has to be run all the time 05:33.000 --> 05:41.360 And that's why the convention that they held to amend the articles didn't include any actual discussion of amendment within the first week 05:41.360 --> 05:45.720 Or so Madison was already shoving in his Virginia plan and 05:46.300 --> 05:50.920 Multiple states weren't even there and they just started going forward by the time 05:50.920 --> 05:55.000 they had a bunch of the states there a lot of the stuff that already been decided and 05:56.600 --> 06:04.780 The idea of amending was out the window and all of these preposterous ideas about how they took a vow of silence and everything else 06:04.780 --> 06:05.820 This is absurd 06:06.520 --> 06:13.000 They had principles in the form of the states and the idea that they could somehow take a vow of secrecy 06:13.760 --> 06:21.720 Against their own principles is asinine and I've already showed that there's absolutely no possible way what they claim went on went on 06:21.720 --> 06:29.040 The earliest documents we have for the most part didn't come out for 30 years Madison's notes are 50 years before they were released 06:29.040 --> 06:31.320 We don't have any kinds of 06:31.920 --> 06:39.360 Contemporaneous newspaper articles or anything else including anything even if you want to say that I missed half the stuff 06:39.360 --> 06:41.580 That's out there and there's this and there's that note 06:41.580 --> 06:45.320 And it's okay. Maybe there's some stuff out there. I don't know. I know this 06:46.700 --> 06:52.480 Washington's journal is blank for the time and I'm sorry, but that alone is to me 06:53.620 --> 06:56.220 Basically irrefutable evidence that it's all a lie 06:56.220 --> 07:00.320 That's all and the fact that Madison's notes weren't released for 50 years 07:00.320 --> 07:05.800 Those two facts alone are enough for me when you add in the fact that there's no newspaper coverage 07:05.800 --> 07:08.740 The entire way it was ratified everything else 07:08.740 --> 07:15.340 I'm sorry. The evidence is so overwhelming that I don't care if people want to nitpick with me about oh you said this legal man 07:15.340 --> 07:21.440 That's not exactly it. There was this and and New Hampshire said this and fucking Virginia said I don't care 07:21.440 --> 07:24.480 The overwhelming evidence is clear 07:24.480 --> 07:29.740 It's absolutely crystal clear that the official fairytale is a complete lie 07:29.740 --> 07:38.440 Just like every other official fairytale that we get and one of the most important fundamental ones is that you could never have an 07:38.440 --> 07:44.960 Actual open discussion about objective potential amendments. You have this government in place 07:45.600 --> 07:49.200 that's supposedly a perpetual union under its own terms and 07:50.100 --> 07:57.080 Was good enough to beat the British and yet it just has to go with no attempt to fix it at all 07:57.080 --> 08:02.220 Nothing even proposed they hold this convention to get some amendment possibilities out 08:02.220 --> 08:08.360 Nothing comes out with this whole new Constitution with not even any changes to that because I'm gonna do an 08:08.360 --> 08:13.080 Entire episode probably the next episode showing you how you can simply make 08:13.080 --> 08:18.200 alterations to the Constitution itself and fix the vast majority of the problems with it 08:18.200 --> 08:24.200 But what I want to do today is just show you that these fundamental problems to the extent 08:24.200 --> 08:29.820 They even exist that there were very simple potential amendments and again the amendments 08:29.820 --> 08:33.520 I'm gonna suggest the changes. I'm gonna suggest they don't 08:34.180 --> 08:36.120 They don't have to be precise 08:36.120 --> 08:41.680 I'm saying that in a matter of a couple weeks you could sit down with these issues and the kind of language 08:41.680 --> 08:45.320 I'm throwing out there and listen to it and some lawyers could argue about it 08:45.320 --> 08:50.160 And you could reach an agreement about what is the kind of a language that might be agreeable 08:50.160 --> 08:52.600 you can it's just very simple to do and 08:53.960 --> 09:00.240 That's the import of this is to show people that they need to get out of the mindset of the idea that they couldn't work 09:00.240 --> 09:05.100 They couldn't be fixed. They were too weak had to have this change had they got rid of a blah blah blah 09:05.100 --> 09:11.020 Get out of that idea and start thinking okay. Well, they have a complaint about this. What can we do about it? 09:11.020 --> 09:11.880 How can we amend it? 09:11.900 --> 09:16.540 Which is what they were supposedly sent there to do under this supposed idea that there are always these problems 09:16.540 --> 09:20.080 Even though you really when you go look you really can't find any these problems 09:20.080 --> 09:25.380 Well, let's just go and start sort of noodling around with what I have so far 09:25.380 --> 09:31.640 And the first one is all this supposed fighting that was going on between the states all fighting among the states the terrorist 09:31.640 --> 09:36.960 This and terrorist that okay. We got a very simple proposal. I've got an amendment here 09:36.960 --> 09:43.680 That would just say that no state shall lay any duty or post on goods from another state without the consent of Congress 09:45.560 --> 09:49.420 What's wrong with that I don't understand so if you want to put 09:50.200 --> 09:53.080 Duty or a tariff on that you got to get congressional approval 09:53.080 --> 09:58.140 That's all if you can get a congressional approval, then you can do it and if you can't well, then you can't okay 09:58.140 --> 10:02.540 They didn't even try this as a possibility. They didn't even try it 10:02.540 --> 10:07.660 You could have one state would propose theirs. They want to okay. There it is it goes through Congress 10:07.660 --> 10:10.660 It has to get the consent of Congress in order for you to put it on there 10:10.660 --> 10:14.940 Why isn't that worth trying in order to save the government? Why would you throw it all out? 10:15.160 --> 10:19.300 Think of all the problems we have now in the Constitution does anybody ever talk about just throwing the whole 10:19.300 --> 10:25.240 Constitution out because we got a problem now. Well, you can't even find one one thousandth of the problems 10:25.240 --> 10:30.220 We have today back then and yet they're immediately saying it's completely hopeless 10:31.260 --> 10:37.000 Why not just have this that it just goes into the Congress and the Congress has to approve it. That's all 10:38.280 --> 10:41.640 They get the consent of Congress. I don't get it that seems perfectly reasonable 10:41.640 --> 10:43.900 You could just even have it as a bare minimum 10:44.420 --> 10:47.260 Majority you don't even have to require one of these nine state things 10:47.260 --> 10:50.140 You don't even have to you can just have an amendment that said that and 10:51.260 --> 10:52.280 I don't get it 10:53.020 --> 11:00.460 Does that not address a huge supposed issue? It basically makes it so that Congress is 11:00.460 --> 11:03.800 The equivalent of putting a tariff on there putting a tax 11:03.800 --> 11:09.560 It's basically the equivalent if they agree to let the state do it. Okay. Well if the state can do it and 11:10.240 --> 11:13.340 I've got another one that goes with that one. I think is 11:13.340 --> 11:21.500 Really really extremely helpful with regards to supposedly going after this problem, which is both the 11:21.500 --> 11:27.400 tariffs and duties okay an impulse and all the different reasons they do it and penalties and blah blah blah 11:27.400 --> 11:30.700 The great trade war between the states and all his shit 11:31.480 --> 11:36.600 And at the same time that Congress has no money. Oh, I gotta have Congress. You can't fund itself 11:36.600 --> 11:42.700 Well, I was always dying for money. It couldn't get any money. Oh, please. We've got to have money. Okay. Okay. Well 11:43.340 --> 11:48.620 How about this one as an amendment all duties and imposts all of them 11:49.380 --> 11:52.420 Shall be collected into a state held account 11:53.140 --> 11:59.340 overseen by Congress from which Congress can draw its apportion share on a regular schedule 12:00.040 --> 12:06.480 The idea behind this amendment is that look you don't give Congress the right to collect all the stuff and take it out 12:06.480 --> 12:11.600 Of the states and everything else you just say look the states can continue to collect all these duties on 12:11.600 --> 12:17.340 Imposts and stuff like that from foreign governments and if it's been between the states well, then they have to 12:18.020 --> 12:21.300 Get congressional approval. So there's no fighting like that 12:21.300 --> 12:28.380 You still have the original idea that they can take any dispute to that basically binding arbitration 12:28.380 --> 12:32.060 But in this one instead of it going into the federal government's coffers 12:32.060 --> 12:36.620 It goes into what is in effect a kind of a trust account 12:36.620 --> 12:43.580 That would be operated by the state being held by a third-party bank where the money would come into this 12:43.580 --> 12:49.280 Account and the Congress could draw out whatever it was. They were agreed to 25% of 12:49.280 --> 12:53.960 All tariffs and imposts whatever the state laid that would go directly to Congress 12:53.960 --> 12:59.760 They're thinking just fund themselves on a regular basis monthly or quarterly or whatever does the states might want to do again 12:59.760 --> 13:02.380 These kinds of details are something you work out 13:02.380 --> 13:05.540 But the general concept is this constant 13:06.060 --> 13:11.700 Hurang about how the federal government couldn't afford to pay itself and was always running out of money 13:11.700 --> 13:15.780 And they couldn't get the states to pay and they had no way to enforce it and blah blah blah 13:15.780 --> 13:21.280 Well, the vast majority of all these taxes that came from the state's value of the land 13:21.280 --> 13:26.960 Which the means they just had to value up their land and then send in some portion that Congress demanded 13:26.960 --> 13:30.680 Okay. Well, how much they should have to send in from their tariffs and stuff 13:30.680 --> 13:36.500 Well, that could all be used in the same kind of apportionment that however much your land was worth or you could have some other 13:36.500 --> 13:42.400 Combination of stuff that would be have to do with ones that were on the ocean where they're getting a lot of 13:42.400 --> 13:49.140 International trade they might have a slightly different calculation the actual calculation of what the state owed who knows 13:49.140 --> 13:53.540 but the reality is that these assessments that were made by the 13:53.540 --> 14:00.080 Original Congress here in this Articles of Confederation basically is like a property tax each year 14:00.080 --> 14:05.740 Well, the property tax on the state had to be raised in some form or fashion 14:05.740 --> 14:15.240 And so you could even expand out my provision to be that all imposed duties and whatever kinds of taxes the state decides to lay 14:15.820 --> 14:22.840 They have to be placed into this same kind of trust account and Congress would be entitled to 25% of it 14:22.840 --> 14:26.660 So if the state wanted to shrink the stuff down it just wouldn't collect as much taxes 14:26.660 --> 14:31.860 And then Congress is stuck with this 25% or whatever the number is however you want to agree to it 14:31.860 --> 14:39.060 But the structural setup which actually solves 100% this issue of Congress not being able to fund itself 14:39.060 --> 14:41.780 No way to enforce it have to have a strong federal 14:42.280 --> 14:47.600 Executive and judiciary and all this other crap and give Congress the power to lay and collect taxes individually 14:47.600 --> 14:49.020 You don't need to do any of that 14:49.500 --> 14:51.640 There's only so much money that can be collected 14:51.640 --> 14:52.500 Okay 14:52.500 --> 14:59.040 Well the state's gonna collect what it can collect and then it pays to Congress that amount and as opposed to having to wait for the 14:59.040 --> 15:02.940 State to actually pay it where they could slow pay and all this other crap 15:02.940 --> 15:09.480 You would have a system set up where the money for the state would be set into this account and first the federal government could 15:09.480 --> 15:12.260 Draw their stuff out in the state would get this remainder 15:12.260 --> 15:17.200 It's not that uncommon an arrangement in a legal situation where you don't trust people 15:17.200 --> 15:19.700 People use trust accounts and all sorts of other 15:20.360 --> 15:24.960 Accounts in real estate deals and everything else where it's held by a third party and 15:25.540 --> 15:30.900 Once the parameters are met then the money is released and it's very simple 15:30.900 --> 15:33.640 And this way the federal government has its money 15:33.640 --> 15:39.080 It doesn't have to wait for it doesn't have to beg the states and the states don't have to worry that the federal government's gonna 15:39.080 --> 15:41.880 Run through everything and take over at all with its own 15:42.540 --> 15:48.360 Taxing authority, so it's just it mean it completely and totally fixes that and you can maybe you argue with it 15:48.360 --> 15:52.220 Maybe you don't like it exactly okay, but I'm telling you a structure is available like that 15:52.220 --> 15:54.740 That's very simple and fixes all these problems 15:55.240 --> 16:01.100 Fixes all these problems now the next big one that they were complaining about was this idea that the states 16:01.100 --> 16:06.960 Couldn't be made to do anything that the federal government had no way to enforce its so-called laws on the states 16:06.960 --> 16:11.640 Which first of all again, there's really no evidence for this except for the trying to get paid 16:11.880 --> 16:15.200 And these made up treaty problems, which I've also addressed 16:15.760 --> 16:18.980 Because the treaty massively overstepped the federal government's authority 16:18.980 --> 16:23.720 But I wanted to address this issue and this is a relatively long 16:23.720 --> 16:27.000 It's kind of a paragraph long addition that would need to be in there 16:27.000 --> 16:34.320 But it addresses all sorts of things in this area with regards to how do you force the states to do anything when the federal government 16:34.320 --> 16:39.920 Issues something right they says don't they just don't do it. Okay. That's a potentially legitimate complaint 16:39.920 --> 16:46.460 So here's my solution if any state shall willfully and persistently refuse to comply with provisions 16:46.460 --> 16:51.100 Lawfully agreed to under this confederation. In other words if Congress says they got to do something 16:51.100 --> 16:55.420 Then they got to start doing it and after do notice an opportunity to respond 16:55.420 --> 16:58.800 Congress may with the consent of two-thirds of the states 16:59.400 --> 17:06.940 Suspend such states participation in congressional decisions and its access to the union benefits for a period not exceeding one year 17:06.940 --> 17:11.840 the construct here is that look if the state's not doing something and 17:11.840 --> 17:15.140 The other states realize hey, they're not doing it. This is kind of ridiculous 17:15.140 --> 17:21.360 Well, if you get two-thirds of the states agree that hey, you know, this isn't working that they're not doing what they're supposed to 17:21.360 --> 17:25.020 This is bullshit. We're paying they're not paying even that's already been eliminated with my other provision 17:25.020 --> 17:30.720 Whatever it might be they could simply vote to say look you got to comply if you don't comply 17:30.720 --> 17:36.680 Then you're not gonna get any of the benefits and you don't get anything from the federal government 17:36.940 --> 17:42.620 And you don't get any access to any of the stuff. They're doing while you're outside of compliance 17:42.620 --> 17:48.580 this could be something they could put in and then I put in a provision as well that if one of the smaller states thinks 17:48.580 --> 17:51.900 It's being taken advantage of and believes it is in compliance 17:51.900 --> 17:55.780 It would have a measure to do that and this is what I said about that 17:55.780 --> 18:00.640 If the state can test the findings of non-compliance the matter shall be referred to a tribunal 18:00.640 --> 18:07.700 Composed to three arbitrators one appointed by the state in question one by Congress and a third by mutual agreement or by lot from the other states 18:07.700 --> 18:16.000 In other words, we're gonna have another binding arbitration tribunals decision shall be final if non-compliance is confirmed and continues beyond one year 18:16.000 --> 18:21.020 The other states may by unanimous consent declare the offending state removed from the kind of 18:21.020 --> 18:25.960 Federation with appropriate settlement of shared obligations and assets, which I do make a 18:25.960 --> 18:29.300 Accommodation for later, which I do make accommodation for later 18:29.300 --> 18:33.160 But the basic structure is the same and again you can argue about whether it should require 18:33.160 --> 18:36.760 Unanimous consent to kick them out or two-thirds would be sufficient again 18:36.760 --> 18:43.640 Even after the finding these are just details that people can argue about the fundamental construct 18:43.640 --> 18:51.900 I'm dealing with here is this gives you a very clear way for the states to maintain control of 18:53.040 --> 18:57.500 This decision which is look we all agree this thing is going to be a 18:57.500 --> 19:00.680 Confederation we agreed we're going to do this under the rules 19:00.680 --> 19:04.760 You're not doing your part if you keep not doing your part 19:04.760 --> 19:12.500 Then you're not going to get any of the benefits of being in the union and if that goes on for up to a year 19:12.500 --> 19:17.920 Then at that point we can just kick you out with a vote and that's it you're done 19:17.920 --> 19:24.920 We're not going to keep screwing around with you and it provides protection for the state by having this panel saying look these guys 19:24.920 --> 19:29.280 They're just ganging up. I mean this is bullshit and he can go into an arbitration panel of 19:29.740 --> 19:37.220 The Congress the state and another third neutral party to make the decision and then it's final exactly the same as any other 19:37.220 --> 19:41.720 Binding arbitration. I don't see how that can be unreasonable. How can anyone argue with that that? 19:42.100 --> 19:46.640 absolutely 100 percent guarantees that the states can be made to comply and 19:47.340 --> 19:52.400 You still don't have to have a strong executive and judiciary and shove it down their throats 19:52.400 --> 19:53.740 And it's out there inside their control 19:53.740 --> 19:57.380 It still stays basically in the power of all the states together 19:57.380 --> 20:03.540 Kind of two-thirds of three-quarters or bear majority or unanimous or however you want to determine it 20:03.540 --> 20:08.920 those things can be argued about but the construct keeps it within the 20:09.600 --> 20:11.920 protections of the states and doesn't 20:12.400 --> 20:19.160 Elevate it up to something that's outside the state's control. See it's outside the state's control with the Constitution. I 20:19.160 --> 20:22.080 Think this is eminently reasonable and solves 20:23.020 --> 20:29.220 Supposedly so many of the problems they had because the entire need for a strong judiciary and everything else for what well 20:29.220 --> 20:32.120 You got to be able to get the states to be able to okay. I just gave you something 20:32.120 --> 20:34.320 That's an alternative that works perfectly fine 20:34.320 --> 20:41.260 First of all there weren't a bunch of issues where the states were not complying and the other states were so pissed except for the 20:41.260 --> 20:44.500 Money, I've already solved the money issue 20:44.500 --> 20:46.140 I've already solved it 20:46.140 --> 20:52.080 So let's go on now and look at the supposed need for a strong executive and all this other stupid shit 20:52.080 --> 20:56.260 Everybody remembers from my show when we went through the Art of Confederation 20:56.260 --> 21:02.180 They had this committee of states which is the equivalent of the executive inside of the Art of Confederation 21:02.180 --> 21:07.980 But it was small and it was really only operating when Congress wasn't in session 21:07.980 --> 21:16.440 And it had limited kinds of powers and so my idea would be to amend it and expand out that committee of states 21:16.440 --> 21:19.560 Which allowed the states to completely control that committee 21:19.560 --> 21:21.980 They could bring the president out inside the committee 21:21.980 --> 21:28.420 They could change a committee and they could oversee the committee and the members on the committee couldn't sit for very long 21:28.420 --> 21:37.000 And they were 100% totally beholden to the Congress at all times, which is ultimately the states and here's my proposed language for this 21:37.000 --> 21:41.880 The committee of states, which is what I just talked about shall be a standing body 21:42.580 --> 21:45.840 Empowered to carry out the administrative functions of Congress 21:46.520 --> 21:50.600 Continuously in other words the equivalent of the executive the presidential branch 21:50.600 --> 21:58.080 Well, the committee of states just gets expanded out a little bit. It's gonna run all the time its actions shall be subject to immediate override 21:59.120 --> 22:06.780 Modification or repeal by Congress whenever assembled and Congress may replace or reconstitute the committee at its discretion 22:07.000 --> 22:11.660 In other words, yes, we have an executive. No different than you have somebody running your company 22:11.660 --> 22:17.580 He's out there is running your company, but if he's doing a shitty job, the board just removes him. It's not complicated 22:17.580 --> 22:25.600 This is exact same thing and you could again argue about whether or not the override has to be by two-thirds or a majority or 22:25.600 --> 22:32.560 Sometimes the majority sometimes two-thirds or whatever it is that they could modify something they could step in they could repeal it 22:32.560 --> 22:33.920 whenever they cared to 22:33.920 --> 22:42.400 My solution allows for the so-called executive need a need for strong executive to be there 22:42.400 --> 22:48.740 They're welcome to be as strong as Congress wants them to be but it makes no sense to have an executive 22:48.740 --> 22:53.820 That's not answerable to Congress in the states that doesn't make any sense 22:53.820 --> 23:00.280 See that makes no sense at all if you are forming a company or a limited partnership 23:00.280 --> 23:05.200 You don't want to have a general partner that can just run roughshot over the limited partners 23:05.200 --> 23:07.420 That doesn't make any sense if you have a company 23:07.420 --> 23:14.560 You can't put in a president and a CEO that simply does whatever it cares to and doesn't listen to shareholders 23:14.560 --> 23:22.980 That makes no sense. That's not logical and my solution right here would allow in effect the executive 23:22.980 --> 23:26.060 Which would be this committee to be expanded out 23:26.060 --> 23:32.440 To do any and everything that was in any way needed that Congress wanted to be done 23:33.300 --> 23:39.220 Without having to have congressional constant passing laws. They're just out there doing it the committee's doing it's doing that 23:39.220 --> 23:42.620 It's order. Okay. Well if the Congress thinks it's out of control 23:42.620 --> 23:48.980 The Congress can just stop it override it modify it pull those people out and put someone else in that they know is 23:48.980 --> 23:56.620 Going to respond. This is how you stay responsive to the states and the actual owners of this entity 23:56.620 --> 24:01.960 Which is the federal government see the framers the holy framers the constitution 24:01.960 --> 24:08.500 I wanted to make sure that the federal government was above the states and could just do stuff without the state's fucking 24:08.500 --> 24:09.220 participation 24:10.100 --> 24:13.420 They knew how they could water all this stuff down 24:13.420 --> 24:18.620 Mine is an answer to it. There's certainly absolutely no reason in the world 24:18.980 --> 24:22.740 Not to try these very very simple 24:23.780 --> 24:29.420 Amendments some variation of them as I've said again and again you can hammer out the basic details 24:29.420 --> 24:32.940 And I'm not even saying these are the best possible solutions. I know this 24:33.520 --> 24:39.120 As a lawyer these are good solutions. Are they perfect? Are they something you get everybody to agree with? 24:39.220 --> 24:40.500 I don't know. I have no idea 24:40.500 --> 24:45.200 But I know this nobody can have a legit complaint about the supposed needs 24:45.200 --> 24:50.440 For all these things without this because all you had to do is have congress say hey 24:50.440 --> 24:54.320 Look, you got to comply with this x y and z state if you don't 24:54.320 --> 24:57.240 Well, if you don't want to do it, then your rights are suspended 24:57.240 --> 25:01.140 And if you object and you can go have the thing arbitrator if you continue to ignore it 25:01.140 --> 25:05.040 Well, this is going to kick you out because this doesn't work. You're free to go on your way 25:05.040 --> 25:08.960 We're going to keep running our shit if you want to run your shit in some other separate way 25:08.960 --> 25:10.960 You're welcome to but not with us 25:11.480 --> 25:13.320 Not with us that works fine 25:13.780 --> 25:16.580 The idea of needing the money all the time it's solved 25:16.580 --> 25:22.140 It's absolutely solved all the state funds that they collect could put in an effective trust account 25:22.140 --> 25:25.900 And the congress would be entitled to whatever it is the 25:26.520 --> 25:28.080 States agree to in congress 25:28.800 --> 25:34.320 It's very simple. It's this is very very simple. You don't have to create all this other stuff 25:34.800 --> 25:35.500 No need 25:36.240 --> 25:37.000 No need 25:38.380 --> 25:42.620 And I also wanted to propose this because this is not even an amendment 25:42.620 --> 25:48.000 And the reality is all those things are amendments. They would have to be an amendment agreed to 25:48.000 --> 25:51.360 Well, how are we going to get agreement on this? What if we can't get agreement of this? 25:51.380 --> 25:54.380 We couldn't even get agreement about giving the congress the right to pass 25:54.920 --> 25:59.240 Independent tariffs. Okay. Well, I understand why they don't want to give congress that right 25:59.240 --> 26:03.940 But we never even tried these where the states maintain control of the money 26:03.940 --> 26:09.140 They can raise whatever they want. It's just they got to pay their fair share of whatever it is they raise 26:09.140 --> 26:09.640 Okay 26:10.340 --> 26:12.400 So the issue becomes 26:12.920 --> 26:17.860 What if we can't get these amendments done? You still have to make accommodation for that 26:17.860 --> 26:22.040 They didn't do anything like that in the constitution. It's other than ludicrous 26:22.040 --> 26:25.820 I've already showed you how as a legal matter it makes no sense 26:25.820 --> 26:33.640 What was the legal standing after nine states ratified where they still in the articles of confederation had the articles of confederation been dissolved 26:34.200 --> 26:37.400 What happened to the assets in there? What if the other states hadn't agreed? 26:37.400 --> 26:42.660 Who was going to get the assets? They allowed them a strong arm. What about the taxes? What about anything else? 26:43.220 --> 26:47.780 Nothing is accommodated for and it is a thing that has some additional 26:48.320 --> 26:50.800 complications when it comes to treaties and other things like that 26:50.800 --> 26:56.880 But in general one because states were absolutely free to leave the articles of confederation 26:56.880 --> 27:01.580 That's obvious. Otherwise, they could never even afford the constitution. It doesn't even make sense 27:01.580 --> 27:06.020 But the argument by the federalist when it was in the hands of the people and all this other shit 27:06.020 --> 27:11.020 Okay. Well, whatever it is, you've got to make a combination and so for me 27:11.020 --> 27:16.020 I've got this it's a kind of a paragraph long way to accommodate for these 27:16.700 --> 27:22.980 Issues with regards to maybe we can't get all these amendments agreed to maybe you can only get certain 27:23.540 --> 27:27.640 People to agree to it. Maybe if you only have nine states agreeing to any of this stuff 27:27.640 --> 27:30.220 It's like well, look we want to go our own way 27:30.220 --> 27:31.640 We're going to basically dissolve 27:32.220 --> 27:38.420 Our interest in the artist confederation form our own situation with another articles and add this stuff in there 27:38.420 --> 27:41.980 And we're going to move forward as the united states of america 27:41.980 --> 27:43.300 2.0 27:43.880 --> 27:49.960 And you can be a united states of america 1.0 and we're nine and you're four whatever it is 27:49.960 --> 27:53.960 That's fine. So we have to make a combination for that. Here's kind of a language 27:53.960 --> 27:58.800 I've drawn up in the event that the proposed amendments are not unanimously ratified 27:58.800 --> 28:04.020 And a new confederation is formed. In other words, we only get nine. You can't get them. Okay 28:04.020 --> 28:07.780 We can't get the things unanimously approved. That's what the thing requires 28:07.780 --> 28:12.560 I would also add that you might want to have an additional 28:13.400 --> 28:19.380 Amending process that takes into account this for the future that in the future should such and such 28:19.380 --> 28:25.340 They always have the option to continue to move forward just like this where it's like look if you don't want unanimous 28:26.140 --> 28:32.040 Approval you can get approval of two thirds of three quarters or whatever it is you want like we have now three quarters 28:32.040 --> 28:36.660 And that if they don't approve that the three quarters would have the option to simply move on without them 28:36.660 --> 28:39.640 That way but they put them in the choice you want to amend it and stay with us 28:39.640 --> 28:43.440 Or you'd not want to amend it and stay in your own stuff. That's it 28:44.420 --> 28:49.460 So in the event the proposed amendments are not unanimously ratified in other words that are not ratified 28:49.460 --> 28:53.000 And a new confederation is formed because they go through this other thing 28:53.700 --> 28:58.960 All lands funds armaments and other assets held by congress under the current union 28:58.960 --> 29:05.320 Shall be inventoried and equitably apportioned among the states based on population or any agreed ratio 29:05.320 --> 29:08.140 In other words, you're going to have to decide how you're going to break it up 29:08.140 --> 29:10.040 But this is again something that lawyers 29:10.740 --> 29:17.180 Negotiate all the time if we can't reach agreement. What kind of equitable division will there be? I always have 29:17.700 --> 29:20.840 We cut you choose provision. I think it's the most fair 29:20.840 --> 29:27.780 All partnerships have different ways the I cut you choose method is that the nine who 29:27.780 --> 29:33.280 Decide to leave or the four who decide to stay or whatever it is 10 and 3 29:33.990 --> 29:40.340 Those are two separate groups the 10 can divide up make proposals about ways to divide it 29:40.340 --> 29:44.940 Into two different sets that are somewhat what they believe equitable 29:44.940 --> 29:49.480 Whoever divides it up the other party gets choice of which one of the two he takes 29:49.480 --> 29:53.940 So you could have the small group divide it up and then the large group gets to choose 29:53.940 --> 29:58.000 Or the large group divides it up and the small group gets to choose this guarantees 29:58.600 --> 30:03.460 That it's a fair division because you're not going to make it unfair because you don't get to choose 30:03.460 --> 30:06.280 The person who gets to divide it up doesn't get the one to choose it 30:06.280 --> 30:08.560 So there's lots of ways to do this 30:08.560 --> 30:13.460 To equitably apportion among the states that are left what would happen 30:13.460 --> 30:17.680 But you have to have some kind of provision for this. This is not an amendment 30:17.680 --> 30:22.000 There's nothing in the Articles of Confederation that requires this being amendment 30:22.000 --> 30:25.800 This can just be a resolution to congress because anyone's free to leave at any time 30:25.800 --> 30:32.080 So you got to have some way to divide it up got to it's not like you can get amendment a full agreement on how to divide it up 30:32.080 --> 30:36.180 Doesn't even make sense. You just uh, this is it. This is what you do, but it continues 30:37.080 --> 30:42.760 Any debts or obligation occurred under the article shall be assumed proportionately may all states party the new confederation 30:42.760 --> 30:45.280 Okay, same kind of thing you cut we choose 30:45.280 --> 30:49.600 No states shall claim exclusive right to common property without such a settlement 30:50.060 --> 30:57.300 If no such agreement can be reached within six months, the assets shall be liquidated. We're practical and the proceeds divided proportionally 30:57.300 --> 31:05.060 Indivisible assets shall be held in joint trust or assigned by lot or by tribunal or arbitrators or by you cut 31:05.060 --> 31:11.480 I choose you can have any kind of way you want to divide this stuff up if they can't be agreed to 31:11.480 --> 31:17.200 I still think you cut. I choose is the most effective way it absolutely 31:17.980 --> 31:22.520 Guarantees that whoever's picked is going to try to make a reasonable 31:23.220 --> 31:26.760 Allocation because if you screw it up then you lose 31:27.540 --> 31:35.140 And this is i'm not going to say it's bulletproof, but it's a very very effective term to put in any kind of dissolution agreement 31:36.100 --> 31:38.480 And you can simply have it here in the states 31:38.480 --> 31:44.340 But this has to be in there you have to have something like this in congress. It's not an amendment 31:44.860 --> 31:50.400 You're not amending the agreement because this is taking place when the agreement has failed 31:50.400 --> 31:56.420 When the agreement is being broken up when the agreement is dissolved what will happen 31:56.420 --> 32:04.760 Well, I don't know how anybody can possibly complain about you cut. We choose. I just don't understand how anybody could complain about that 32:04.760 --> 32:11.200 It's perfectly reasonable and the only other alternative into these kinds of things is basically out white war 32:11.200 --> 32:15.320 And that's not going to go on when you have a situation like this 32:15.320 --> 32:20.680 It there's no reason for but you have to have something that says the assets are going to get divided up 32:20.680 --> 32:23.640 And so look if you don't want to participate with us in these amendments 32:24.200 --> 32:26.860 Moving forward because we really want to try to fix this thing 32:26.860 --> 32:32.280 We believe there's all these fundamental problems and blah blah and it can't work too weak and blah blah blah 32:32.280 --> 32:34.740 Go down through all the different miscellaneous horseshit 32:35.360 --> 32:40.720 If you road island and a couple other states if you just don't want to move forward with us with these other amendments 32:40.720 --> 32:44.440 We've come up with that's fine. Then we are going to step aside 32:44.440 --> 32:50.000 We are going to dissolve it for purposes of us and we are going to reform and 32:50.000 --> 32:55.100 During that time we're going to have a division and if you don't want to join us in that time 32:55.100 --> 32:58.320 Then we'll divide the things up like this and everyone will go on their merry way 32:59.120 --> 33:04.120 And the fact that no part of this was ever discussed when this is very simple 33:04.120 --> 33:09.520 If you can't even get agreement on the kinds of very simple amendments 33:09.520 --> 33:16.400 I'm talking about that continue to maintain the power in the states to a maximum extent possible 33:17.120 --> 33:22.720 And keep the federal government from growing and becoming independently sovereign over the states 33:22.720 --> 33:27.500 If you can't even get agreement like that from the states the absurdity of believing that there was 33:27.500 --> 33:35.600 A unanimous ratification of this holy phony baloney constitution that completely destroyed the state's abilities to do anything 33:35.600 --> 33:40.140 Well, then the exposure of the fraud would be very clear 33:40.140 --> 33:47.380 And this is why you could never have a real constitutional convention that talked about some amendment possibilities 33:47.380 --> 33:53.820 Because as soon as you see that the parties came and agreed about amending the thing in very simple ways to supposedly solve 33:53.820 --> 33:55.940 These huge problems that exist 33:55.940 --> 34:01.000 But they can't agree to create this entirely new government that completely and totally 34:01.000 --> 34:06.120 Eviscerates their power and protections. That doesn't make any sense. That doesn't make any sense 34:06.120 --> 34:10.520 Everybody can see that doesn't make any sense. And so that argument can never be had 34:10.520 --> 34:18.320 And that's why the convention had to be this faked up event where nothing comes out the other side with regards to possible amendments 34:18.320 --> 34:23.380 And everyone just has to stick with this narrative about how it was failing couldn't work is too weak 34:23.380 --> 34:28.660 Couldn't be fixed. It was hopeless. There's infighting was about to collapse blah blah blah blah blah 34:28.660 --> 34:33.440 Anyone who digs into it sees no part of that's true. The problem is there was no money 34:33.440 --> 34:40.020 There was no money not because we didn't have a strong federal government executive and judiciary and all this other stupid crap 34:40.020 --> 34:45.360 Is failing it was broke because everybody was broke because it'd run up this absurd debt. That's it 34:45.940 --> 34:52.960 That's absolutely it and it's true. There may be additional things you might want to go in there and add another amendment here or there 34:52.960 --> 34:59.020 As i've said this show is not intended to be a comprehensive review that replaces this or that 34:59.020 --> 35:00.500 I'm just showing you that 35:00.500 --> 35:09.340 The idea sitting down and trying to come up with some basic solutions that we could potentially amend this document and continue to run on 35:09.340 --> 35:12.900 Is hardly beyond reach. It's really not that complicated 35:13.350 --> 35:20.560 Any parties who couldn't legitimately agree about the kinds of things i've proposed here to fix these so-called problems 35:20.560 --> 35:24.540 They're not actually interested in fixing. There's something else going on 35:24.540 --> 35:28.040 If there's one thing i know after 35 years of practicing laws 35:28.040 --> 35:35.780 If you really want to reach agreement because people are actually discussing real problems. They actually have they don't have hidden agendas 35:36.320 --> 35:41.180 It's really not that difficult to reach agreement with people who want to be reasonable and want to do business 35:41.760 --> 35:44.920 If you have people with secret agendas, which is most of the time 35:45.700 --> 35:47.500 Well, then you're never going to reach agreement 35:47.500 --> 35:51.460 You're going to have this endless arguing and fighting. They're going to raise all these things that don't make any sense 35:51.460 --> 35:54.840 Well, of course, you're going to okay. Well, you can't do anything about that 35:54.840 --> 36:00.740 Nothing about creating a federal government makes that go away. It just transfers all the power up to these other people who are untouchable 36:00.740 --> 36:01.840 That's all it does 36:01.840 --> 36:04.040 But you can see these simple 36:05.400 --> 36:10.040 Suggestions that would have addressed all of these issues that were supposedly out there. Certainly 36:10.040 --> 36:15.340 It's worth trying. Let's see if we put this in there and the government starts getting its share of money 36:15.340 --> 36:19.580 Doesn't have to ask we have a method to enforce it on the states for other areas 36:19.580 --> 36:26.340 We are controlling these supposed big tariff fights all the time. Okay. Well, that was all the fighting that was going on 36:26.340 --> 36:30.880 It really was all the fighting if you want to add some additional amendments later about land or something 36:30.880 --> 36:34.260 Okay, we can talk about that. Let's let's go ahead and agree to this 36:34.260 --> 36:36.800 Let's run with this for a year or two 36:36.800 --> 36:41.500 Maybe a couple years to see if there's still problems. There are then we'll you know, we'll revisit it 36:41.500 --> 36:44.620 That's what you do in a real situation 36:45.340 --> 36:48.140 That's how a legitimate dispute is 36:48.740 --> 36:54.820 Mediated how parties who are actually acting good faith do as I've showed you again and again 36:54.820 --> 36:59.180 The only real interest here are the states and the people the federal government has no interest 36:59.180 --> 37:01.640 The states have no interest in creating a federal government 37:01.640 --> 37:07.720 At best the states have an interest in solving these so-called problems and maintaining their power and maintaining their 37:07.720 --> 37:12.640 Independence well my suggestions do all those things inside that articles of federation 37:12.640 --> 37:18.880 And that's why I read the entire articles when we went over and whatever was couples different shows two or three shows something like that 37:19.560 --> 37:23.360 Just to show people the articles are great and most of the stuff they say about it's not true 37:23.360 --> 37:25.960 Oh, there's no way to resolve disputes. There was a way 37:25.960 --> 37:31.760 There was a very simple way binding arbitration 10 times better than federal courts 10 times better 37:33.180 --> 37:37.140 No absurd procedure and rules and evidence all this stupid crap 37:37.140 --> 37:41.460 Outside the state's control it's just a binding arbitration same way you would like to have it 37:41.460 --> 37:44.360 You get a dispute with somebody you'd love to okay binding arbitration 37:44.360 --> 37:47.980 We get to agree to the arbitrator will go have our thing heard and that's it. Okay, it's fine 37:47.980 --> 37:52.060 The main stuff is all solved by mine and you have to have 37:52.060 --> 37:55.860 This provision in there where if you can't get agreement on these amendments 37:55.860 --> 38:01.080 Okay, well then this ain't gonna work if we can't get agreement about even these basic amendments moving forward 38:01.080 --> 38:05.800 Then we need to all go our separate ways in certain ways and we'll break it up in certain stuff 38:05.800 --> 38:08.260 And you guys can be one way and we'll be the other 38:08.960 --> 38:12.440 And we got to have a way to divide up assets and liabilities and things like that 38:12.440 --> 38:20.160 And we cut you choose is always the most reasonable and it just prevents any kinds of problems and objections about 38:20.800 --> 38:28.760 Unfairness they just go away. I just I've never seen a real legitimate fight over we cut you choose and you can see why 38:29.440 --> 38:34.440 You know, if you've got just like a pie and you're just going to divide up the portion 38:34.980 --> 38:40.620 Well, if I'm going to cut the portions and you're going to get to choose first of which portion you take you're going to be careful 38:40.620 --> 38:46.000 If it's anything you're going to be careful that you'll be happy with whichever side you get 38:46.000 --> 38:48.300 That's the nature of it 38:48.300 --> 38:48.800 and 38:49.320 --> 38:54.240 Because I'm trying to show people here that the idea that these were just 38:54.900 --> 38:59.140 impossibly complex systems that could never be solved without this sort of 39:00.140 --> 39:07.000 Madisonian horseshit with montescue and lock and all these federalist papers about how brilliant they need to do this and the government that 39:07.000 --> 39:10.280 This theoretical discussion this why don't we deal with what we have? 39:10.620 --> 39:15.220 We've got to work in government seem to work fine. We've got a couple of areas that people claim we're having problems with 39:15.220 --> 39:18.800 Let's fix them. Let's go ahead and amend a few things here and there and that's it 39:19.660 --> 39:22.280 We needed kind of an executive doing more stuff. Okay, fine 39:22.280 --> 39:26.220 Let's bump up this committee make it a little stronger make it still responsive 39:26.220 --> 39:31.060 The states can still control it and whatever it's doing everyone will be happy with if it gets out of control bam 39:31.700 --> 39:34.820 Instantly we got it controlled. That's it. So 39:35.340 --> 39:42.800 I hope people see how clear this is because the next time I make a show which we're getting to the end of this entire 39:43.960 --> 39:48.020 Series the next time I want to show you how even if we'd gotten this piece of shit 39:48.020 --> 39:52.880 There were simple things we could have had in there and of course we don't have drafts of it 39:52.880 --> 39:56.540 We don't have any new drafts. We don't have any alternatives. We don't have any suggestions that were kicked out 39:56.540 --> 40:00.680 We don't have anything it's presented as a fate of complete take it or leave it 40:00.680 --> 40:05.240 That's it shove down your throat and I want to show people that if it would really been negotiated 40:05.240 --> 40:09.900 If people were really sitting in that convention for a long time arguing negotiating 40:09.900 --> 40:13.900 There would have been all sorts of things suggested and I've got a quite a few of them 40:13.900 --> 40:16.200 And it's not like there's a hundred things that need to be done 40:16.200 --> 40:19.820 I've got like 10 or 11 things and if you put those in there and changed them 40:20.540 --> 40:27.820 Even if you want to keep this federal judiciary and executive power and the senate and the house and the taxing authority 40:27.820 --> 40:31.080 And all this other crazy stupid shit for supremacy clause 40:31.080 --> 40:32.860 You want to have all those things in there? 40:33.280 --> 40:40.140 There are certain ways you could have easily continued to maintain the state's authority and power and make the federal government ultimately 40:40.960 --> 40:47.680 Dependent upon the states and responsive to them that it would have all the abilities that we're told we needed to go out there and do this 40:47.680 --> 40:51.080 And do that. Okay. It had all those things, but ultimately the states would hold the power 40:51.080 --> 40:54.980 And there were very simple ways to do that and again that was never ever 40:55.760 --> 41:00.820 Included and we're never going to get any discussion about that because the constitution is the most brilliant document ever written 41:01.520 --> 41:06.300 And it saved the union and it's a freedom machine and blah blah blah blah blah 41:06.300 --> 41:11.680 And the arts confederation were failing and couldn't work and never could work and they're far too weak and everybody knew it 41:11.680 --> 41:15.540 And they were taking bets on what it would fail and blah blah blah. This is the narrative everybody's in 41:15.540 --> 41:21.080 And like I said, have I gotten every single thing or they're maybe there are I don't know 41:21.080 --> 41:25.140 They don't matter to me because the evidence is so overwhelming 41:26.100 --> 41:27.820 It's so overwhelming 41:28.420 --> 41:28.940 altogether 41:29.680 --> 41:30.440 and so 41:30.440 --> 41:34.900 I hope that this show gives people an idea of 41:35.380 --> 41:41.180 the absurdity of the official narrative and how it locks people in to 41:41.760 --> 41:49.460 A mindset that prevents anybody from seeing the simple things I'm talking about and I'm just amazed at how 41:49.460 --> 41:54.340 phony baloney the entire thing is the more I've looked into it and thought about it. So 41:56.040 --> 41:59.700 Okay, that's all I really wanted to say about it. I hope people enjoyed that show 41:59.700 --> 42:03.040 I hope it makes people think I hope it opens their mind 42:03.740 --> 42:08.900 As I've said, I will say one more time that those are not absolutes and not perfect solutions 42:08.900 --> 42:10.600 There's things you can negotiate in there 42:10.600 --> 42:15.660 But the the general structure is sufficient to be able to negotiate 42:15.660 --> 42:22.320 Some fine details here and there about some of what some of my complain about and it provides a generalized solution 42:22.320 --> 42:28.680 It really does it's certainly worth trying and then saying, okay, if you run with it for another five years or 10 years 42:28.680 --> 42:31.900 It's still not working. Okay. We could change it again or whatever. Maybe 42:32.400 --> 42:35.380 Finally, we're just going to have to go our separate ways or whatever. I don't know 42:35.380 --> 42:38.440 But you can see the the thinking so 42:39.260 --> 42:43.660 Okay, if you want to follow me, you can I'm legal man at us crime review on twitter 42:43.660 --> 42:47.040 Thank you everybody in patreon. I hope you guys have enjoyed this series 42:47.040 --> 42:51.800 Like I said, I think I've probably got one maybe two more shows are so left on this and that's about it 42:51.800 --> 42:56.360 But I think it's been very enlightening as a series and I I hope people have enjoyed it 42:56.360 --> 43:02.240 It seems like people have enjoyed it. I know I enjoyed actually finding out like I said, I've never even come across a 43:03.080 --> 43:09.080 Website about this and I've done so much research in so many different areas and some of everybody I've known 43:09.880 --> 43:14.300 Just such an amazingly airtight overton window. They've got everyone in on this 43:14.300 --> 43:17.920 I hope people have found value in this series 43:18.500 --> 43:21.800 And so thank you for everybody in patreon. I appreciate you guys 43:22.380 --> 43:26.320 And of course Barnum world's out there. It looks like it's getting a little bit more activity 43:26.860 --> 43:29.100 I was noticing it was moving up by about a thousand 43:29.700 --> 43:34.480 Roughly a thousand a day or every day and a half and then night apparently must have gone on show or something 43:34.480 --> 43:38.100 It kicked that up a little bit more. So that's good. Like I said, there's literally no 43:38.680 --> 43:43.280 Barrier to having this thing go viral at any time because it's completely free and it's just out there 43:43.840 --> 43:48.680 And I know I've enjoyed it and I hope people who contributed to it and made it possible 43:48.680 --> 43:54.460 Think they got value out of the production and they liked the job that Andrew and I did on the movie 43:54.460 --> 43:58.800 And you know, it's something that can be enjoyed forever now. It's really kind of timeless 43:59.300 --> 44:04.960 Really is so thank you everybody who contributed there and beyond that. I don't have anything else. I'm gonna go ahead and wrap it up 44:05.500 --> 44:09.600 You guys have been a great audience as usual. Everybody. Have a nice night or day wherever you are 44:10.060 --> 44:10.740 Take care 44:24.460 --> 44:24.940 You
