Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, May 28th, 2019. Take Your Country Back. Okay, let's go on to a theme I've been telling you about, I don't think you hear this anywhere else, but it's important. So on a number of occasions I've laid out to you that there are political action committees, PACs. These are funded by people like George Soros on the Republican side. the Koch brothers, billionaires that spread money around to groups and the groups lobby for either conservative or progressive causes. Okay, many of these groups have offices on K Street in Washington, D.C., which is close to the White House, walkable. The groups talk amongst themselves. All right, So the liberals, talk to the liberals,
Starting point is 00:01:00 conservative, talk to the conservative. On the liberal front, every morning there's a conference call among some of these people. And they come up with the theme de jour, like soup de jour, theme de jour. And then they either faxed or they email it or they text it out to media.
Starting point is 00:01:22 So this is amusing. So last week when Nancy Pelosi said that President Trump is covering up or whatever she said. The theme the next day was Nancy Pelosi gets under President Trump's skin. Well, take. Good evening, and once again, the world is learning just how easy it is to get under the skin of the most powerful man on earth. Explain something. Why does Nancy Pelosi get under the president's skin so much?
Starting point is 00:01:50 Pelosi has an uncanny ability to get under Trump's skin. It's extremely effective at getting under his skin. Pelosi clearly got under his skin. Pretty clear that she gets under his skin. She has this unique quality of getting under the president's skin. Pelosi for some reason gets under his skin. She gets under the president's skin. I think it is clear that Nancy Pelosi gets under his skin.
Starting point is 00:02:12 She does get under his skin. She gets under his skin. That getting under the president's skin very clearly got it under his skin. Now the Washington Beacon put the music under there and they did all the work there. They compiled it and we had another 35 seconds. just stopped. All of these lemmings, and they are lemmings, they just read what they're handed. Just bid it out, bid it out, bid it out. And that's what, if you watch, that's why I don't anymore, selectively, once in a while. What do you get? This bilge, B-I-L-G-E, where in the day.
Starting point is 00:02:50 So I got a lot of letters from you guys saying, look, what about this electoral college controversy in the States versus Brick? If you are over the age of 50, I have an important message for you. There's a true alternative to AARP, the Liberal Retirement Group, that lobbies in favor of progressive policies. For less than $20 a year, an AMAC membership gives you members-only pricing on car insurance, roadside assistance, discounts on hotels and travel, cell phone plans, discount dental plans, and on and on and on. So please join more than one million fellow Americans right now at amac.us. That's amac.us. And yes, I am a member.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Visit amac.us, amac.us, amac.us. So I asked my staff, my crack staff, to get an expert who can explain whether this is feasible. I will tell you before we get to her that it's, that it's split 50-50. The polls say half Americans don't like the electoral college, half due. So, you know, on the folks, and it always breaks down along liberal, conservative lines. So Jenna Ellis Reeves is coming to us from Nashville, Tennessee. She's a constitutional law attorney, which is what I wanted.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And she does advise Donald Trump's board or something. She's involved with Trump. all right i want to hear about trump but you see what's happening that these states are trying to say you're not going to tell us how we're going to vote in the presidential election but that's clearly unconstitutional is it not it is bill and i think that we can have this national conversation on the merits but what we have to first discuss from a constitutional standpoint is whether or not this violates the constitution so even if 100% of the american population wanted to abolish the electoral college, we would have to do that through the viable constitutional
Starting point is 00:05:01 means. Through state legislatures, which is how this national popular vote is trying to be implemented, is against the constitution in three separate ways. The first is Article 1, Section 10, which forbids interstate compacts or agreements between the states without federal government approval. That's because states have sovereignty, but limitedly, when we're talking about a national protection or a national issue, which of course the federal presidency is. That's why we had to have Amendment 17, which changed how we elected state senators to go to Congress, right? So that's one way. The second way is that this violates the three different areas in the Constitution that protect and preserve each fundamental American right to the United States citizens to
Starting point is 00:05:49 participate in voting. That's why we're a constitutional republic. We don't have the tyranny of our overlords. And so the third way is through Article 5, which is in the Constitution that is how we would change the way that our system of government in the Constitutional Republic is set up. If we wanted to change the way that we have federal elections and abolish the electoral college, it has to go through the Amendment 5 process, which is either going through Congress and then being ratified by three-fourths of the states or going through the state legislatures, There's two-thirds of the states have to call for a constitutional convention to then debate this. And if that actually gets passed, it still has to be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
Starting point is 00:06:36 All right, Jenna, thanks very much. We appreciate it. And I just will make a prediction that this won't have any effect on the 2020 vote. Here's another one. And we'll be back with my final thought. Recently, I had a great conversation with the CEO of the Hartford Gold Group, Sanford Man. he's a true entrepreneur. I like those kind of guys, looking to provide customers
Starting point is 00:06:57 with the best possible experience when they invest in physical gold and silver. So right now, the Hartford Gold Group is giving you a free silver coin to viewers of the no-spin news exclusively. You just go to www. Hartfordgoldgroup.com forward slash no-spin.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Or you can give them a call at 866-484-0-5-17. 866-484-0-5-17. Tom O'Reilly sent you to get the free gift. Okay, so I wrote a column last night, and I think it's a very good column, if I do say so myself. And it's about people in America
Starting point is 00:07:43 who object to knowing the truth. You don't want to know. As Jack Nicholson said, and if you could win, you can't handle the truth. I can handle it. I think you can handle it, or you wouldn't be premium and concierge member. So we got these reports coming out about the FBI and maybe the CIA and the FISA judges and a lot of people high up in the federal apparatus that may have done a lot of bad things and they may be arrested in charge. Well, the media didn't want this. You don't see the New York Times kicking down doors to get this information or the
Starting point is 00:08:20 Washington Post or NBC or Sienna? I don't want it. In fact, they're acting as defense lawyers already for Comey and the others. There's something very weird and strange about that. Don't you want to know if massive corruption was in play in the last election? I don't know what doesn't matter what side you're on. It could be the craziest far left loon or the nuttyest far right person. But you want to know? I want to know. And if you don't want to know, you're not a patriot, even if it goes against your ideology.
Starting point is 00:08:59 So please read my column. It's posted. It's important. And spread it around. Tell everybody about it if you would. We'll see you again tomorrow.
