President @RonaldReagan on the @JohnnyCarson show, 1/3/1975.
This aired shortly after he finished his 2nd term as the Governor of California.
In this segment, President Reagan talks about various issues of the federal government.
He describes the federal government as being its own legislative body (which is unconstitutional), that creates regulations (laws). He also explains how taxing people more, does not solve inflation. Furthermore, he delved into the thousands of useless government grants that are a burden to the taxpayer, and informs everyone that the government is the problem.
In my opinion, @realDonaldTrump’s government reduction (drain the swamp) and fiscal responsibility aspirations, are extremely reminiscent of what President Reagan expressed here. (This is prior to him becoming president)
If nothing else, I hope you learn something; as our corrupt government is a lot worse now, then it was then.
Based on this video, it seems like people have been programmed to be oblivious to what’s actually happening, and if they aren’t oblivious, they’re programmed not to care about the actual issues. Because if they weren’t programmed, our country wouldn’t have come to such a low point.
We are currently the laughing stock of the world.
We are the sheep to the bureaucrats who want to dictate our every move, and keep us fighting each other for scraps, while they bask in our misery and hard work.
They have invented issues, and other false narratives, to enslave us.
While we’re busy fighting each other (unbeknownst to us) on false pretenses, they’re busy eating away at our rights, destroying our country, and the foundation of what makes us American.
We have left our eye off the ball for far too long, and now they’ve changed the game.
We must take back what is ours, before there’s nothing left to take back.

A Brooklyn landlord says he's trapped in a legal battle with a '9-year-squatter' over unpaid rent — and it's already drained his daughter's college fund. Thomas Diana estimates he's owed up to $325,000 while New York courts keep adjourning the case. The saga now stretches into its 10th year after another delay this April.
They tried to rig the system. The courts shut them down. Twice.
Kathy Hochul's handpicked board voted along party lines to block me from millions in public matching funds.
We fought back, and we won.
When I am Governor, the political games are over.
New York deserves better.
Congress under article III can completely abolish any federal court district without reassigning judges. This would effectively Make the title of “judge” completely ceremonial for the judges of those former districts…
Look at this case from March 3rd 2026:
State of Florida v. Kayla Erin McFadden
It is a Broward county case, which involves red light camera tickets.
In this case the judge ruled it unconstitutionally shifts the burden of proof. Because, it creates a rebuttable presumption that the registered owner of a vehicle was driving, which effectively requires the owner to prove that they weren’t driving, instead of the state proving who was.
The judge ruled that because of this, and the potential penalties imposed, it violated due process.
I hope it makes its way all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
(Even though the U.S. Supreme Court is currently an unconstitutional body, because of Marbury V. Madison… Separate topic)
Hopefully SCOTUS will come to its senses, and understand that the constitution does not differentiate between life, liberty, and property, as it pertains to due process, nor does it treat any rights as being inferior or superior from any other rights, even those that aren’t enumerated in the constitution (9th amendment).
•
5th amendment of the U.S. constitution.
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
•
14th amendment of the U.S. constitution.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No 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 to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
•
The U.S. Constitution doesn’t differentiate between life, liberty, and property; when it comes to due process. It means that the government/state must meet the same threshold of evidence which is beyond a reasonable doubt 99% that someone is guilty of crime, before any judgement/penalty can be levied against them.
•
To understand what due process of law means, we must look to English common law, because that was the only law that existed in the UK during the ratification of the constitution.

Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England in Four Books, vol. 2 [1753]
“…proof is always first required, upon that side which affirms the matter in question: in which our law agrees with the civil law; ei incumbit probatio, qui dicit, non qui negat: cum per rerum naturam factum-negantis probatio nulla sit.”
(The burden lies on him who affirms, not on him who denies; for by the nature of things, proof of a negative is impossible.)

@CollinRugg They have to prove that those New Yorkers were speeding. There’s no proof that the person driving the car is the owner of the car. This is insane.
