The proposed economic policies by Kamala Harris are not just what Biden's policies were, or what past Democratic Party progressive policies have been, but something much more radical. Harris promotes with her policies straight out communism ... Price Control, Rent Control, increased Corporate Taxes, establishing unrealized capital gains taxation, and increased government control over doing business ... all failed communist policies that if put into action will completely destroy the American economic system. And, they are all not in line with the United States Constitution nor what the Founding Fathers intended. Mr. Constitution explains.

Natural Born Citizen & USA Corporation Theory -- John Eastman and I have something in common...we both claim Kamala Harris is not eligible for office due to her not being a Natural Born Citizen. Douglas V. Gibbs was a part of a group that filed a lawsuit in 2020 against her for that reason. In this episode Mr. Constitution explains the details regarding Natural Born Citizen, and why Kamala Harris is not only not eligible for office, she should be deported for failing to be a citizen. Then, in the final segment, Doug shoots down the "America is a for-profit corporation" theory.

A week ago an attempt on the life of Donald J. Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania has the country stunned, and there are a lot of questions about security and the operations of local law enforcement and the United States Secret Service. Trump credits God for his survival, and at the RNC Convention the GOP is more united than ever before. Mr. Constitution weighs in.

They knew that Biden's mental acuity was fouled up, but they lied and tried to cover it up...and they've been exposed. But, they have nowhere to go so Biden will likely remain their nominee. Meanwhile, the games and lies regarding Project 2025 is maddening, and Trump is not distancing himself from the Heritage Foundation's creation, he simply said he is not attached to it. Obama is not in control, disallowance of federal law regarding freedom of speech is absolute, Money Dysmorphia is a thing, and the Democrats don't know where to go next. Mr. Constitution explains.

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: The debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden left Biden's last remaining supporters stupified, with the Democratic Party clamoring for a replacement; and everyone has been mentioned except the Vice President, Kamala Harris. Why is that? Also, the Democrats are doubling down on their determination to fundamentally transform America. And, the Supreme Court of the United States took a case regarding social media and federal influence on their censorship policies. Mr. Constitution explains.

It's beginning to feel like a mix of the 1930s and the dark years right before Rome fell. The signs are all around us, and evangelist Jonathan Edwards who ignited the Great Awakening in 1734 spoke about the things we need to hear. Mr. Constitution explores the idea that we can't get our political house in order if we don't get our biblical house in order. We are on a slippery slope, and God is not going to go there with us. We need to return to solid ground.

The Constitution was created on a foundation of Christian principles, which are being betrayed today. The Founders understood human nature, and created a republic with checks and balances, a separation of powers, and limited government to prevent the authoritarianism that is on the rise today. Parental rights are now completely under attack by the federal government with Biden's new Title IX changes, the criminalization of speech is on full display with Scotland's hate speech law, and even the Orwellian attack against your thoughts and personal opinions have been targeted by the left here in America, and worldwide. Whose funding it? George Soros is at the forefront, and he is now doing what he can to purchase all avenues of information, with his latest push to go after radio. Mr. Constitution Douglas V.

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: Impeachment, War, and the Biden Crime Family -- When the House of Representatives sent the Mayorkas Impeachment to the U.S. Senate, the Senate voted to not hear the case 51-49, with Chuck Schumer calling it a waste of the Senate's time, and a frivolous political stunt. Constitutionally, however, the Senate was required to hear the case. Iran recently sent drones to create an illusion that they were attacking Israel. Was it all for show? And what about U.S. support for Israel? Have we been supportive enough of the nation of God's Chosen People? Biden's Classified Documents Case is still being worked on, and a special counsel is working on the "Hunter's Laptop" case. Will anything come out of either? Mr. Constitution Explains.

Arizona's high court recently upheld an 1864 near total ban on abortion, and it was the right thing to do. President Trump responded, agreeing that the issue of abortion belongs to the States, and the federal government has no authority to be involved in the issue. Trump was correct. Mr. Constitution explains. Then, in the second segment, Mr. Constitution explains show all of the indictments against Trump are not only a part of a political game, but that none of them are directly connected to any committed crime. The charges are regarding a "conspiracy to commit a crime." In other words, each of them is based on twisted interpretations of Trump's words, thoughts, and opinions ... not only none of which are a crime, but the weaponized lawfare against Trump violates the First Amendment.

A paranoid former CIA and Navy SEAL friend of mine will only meet with me if I leave my phone at home and drive my old nineties car. He knows first hand what technology can do, even when the devices are off, and the batteries are removed. Who is listening? Who makes the computer parts? Who makes the chips? Communist China is listening, and through Tik Tok is sending information designed to stir the cultural revolution in America. The aim? Kill God, and create class warfare across the board...to convince you that there is no God, society is flawed, natural rights are an illusion, the Constitution misses the mark, and all white people are racist. So far, the communists have done a good job waging their cultural warfare.

The United Nations is calling for international policies to supersede the Constitution of the United States. During the Virginia Ratifying Convention shortly after the writing of the Constitution the delegates voiced concern that international polities through treaties would try to supersede the Constitution, and James Madison explained that such an action would violate Article VI., which states the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. Mr. Constitution then goes word by word through Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution, explaining the establishment of congressional legislative powers by the delegation in 1787. In the final segment Douglas V. Gibbs discusses postwar America and how the Soviet Union after World War II took advantage of FDR's good nature and spread across eastern Europe.

Douglas V. Gibbs also discusses the State Legislatures and how they've changed, including through 1964's Reynolds v. Sims. Then Doug gets into Democracy versus Republic, the city voice versus the rural voice, January 6, guns, and how we need to get back to having a moral standard.

The Ten Commandments has been ordered to be removed from a Kentucky Courthouse, but is it really about freedom of religion and the alleged separation of church and state? The Border Crisis is escalating, and Biden is blaming it on Trump as Texas increases the razor wire and the National Guard is coming in from ten other states. Can Biden federalize the National Guard? Do the states need permission from the federal government to send the National Guard? Mr. Constitution explains. And finally, it turns out according to a PBS documentary that the January 6 Congressional Hearing was a publicity stunt. It's all a show, and if they can't take your guns, they'll ban the well-regulated militia ... or at least Democrats Markey and Raskin are trying to with a new bill targeting "paramilitary" groups.

Today's world seems eerily like the one portrayed in a 1961 episode of the Twilight Zone called "The Obsolete Man." I Timothy warned against false teachers and what we are seeing today in our culture. The attempt to overthrow liberty and usurp the Constitution is nothing new, from Bellamy's nationalistic loyalty oath to the alphabet agencies of the federal government, the threats against federalism have always been there. Are we now, however, on the verge of the ultimate police state in America? Mr. Constitution explains. Then, during the history segment Doug discusses the fall of Berlin during World War II, and how the NAZI army was willing to surrender, give FDR Hitler, and then join the Americans against the Soviet Union...and President Roosevelt refused - a riveting conclusion to this latest episode of Mr. Constitution Hour.

The Founding Fathers believed God's Hand was on America, and them personally, during the founding of the United States during, and after, the Revolutionary Period. Benjamin Franklin called attention to the influence of Divine Providence when he recommended prayer before each session of the Constitutional Convention, and in a battle during the French and Indian War then Colonel George Washington recognized that he had four bullet holes in his jacket during a battle where officers were being targeted, but his body was never hit. Then, during the final segment, Doug invites you to join him in a journey regarding Pearl Harbor. In addition to the attack, Doug discusses the investigations into Pearl Harbor, during which time officials sought to discover the secrets behind conspiracies that suggested high ranking American officials knew about the pending attack before it happened.

Then, with a stunning explanation that no mainstream historian or constitutionalist discusses, reveals how the number 40 was also used by God during the years leading up to the American Revolution; a sign that God's hand was indeed present during the colonial uprising against Great Britain, the writing of the Declaration of Independence, and the establishment of our Constitutional Federal Republic. Then, during the second half of the program, Doug discusses the rise of NAZI Germany under Adolf Hitler, and how the German war machine nearly finished off Europe before the Americans finally joined World War II.

The Constitution became a target for tyranny before the ink was dry. The foundations of both liberty and tyranny reach all the way back to Creation. Liberty emerged as a tool for freedom and prosperity when the United States achieved independence and laid a foundation upon Biblical Principles. The challenges against Constitutional Liberty have been often launched, and usually emerge as economic. Mr. Constitution explains how liberty, and tyranny, emerged and blossomed, and how a Stock Market Crash in 1929, and the subsequent Great Depression, challenged those principles until a war in Europe began.

At first President Wilson followed George Washington's advice to stay out of foreign entanglements, and he even ran his reelection on the slogan that he kept America out of the World War that had erupted in Europe. During Wilson's second term, however, the U.S. entered the war. After the war ended a spirit of globalism swept across the world, with Woodrow Wilson leading the way with his League of Nations. However, globalism failed, and communism was on the march after it took over Russia and launched the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. A Red Scare in America made it clear that the United States population was not interested in socialism, yet through various methods, and the rise of labor unions, socialism was beginning to make its mark in the Democratic Party. History shows us that when it comes to political spectrums, however, pendulums swing, even when everything seems to be to the left of the U.S. Constitution.

Today's socialists in America lament the rise of the United States as a superpower during the dawn of the twentieth century, as did the socialists of that era. However, despite progressive attempts to quell America's burgeoning status, partly thanks to the Spanish-American War and World War I, a little over a hundred years ago the United States was poised to enter the world stage as a superpower.

As America moved out of the War Between the States, and through the end of the Nineteenth Century into the Progressive Era, the principles of Free Market Economics and Laissez-Faire began to become challenged. Fabianism and a flirtation with socialism gave way to the Progressive Era and a new mercantilism that led to collusion between big business and the federal government. Communism took over Russia, and America welcomed progressive changes to our banking system, U.S. Senate election method, and introduced a new income tax. Woodrow Wilson became President, ready to wield the presidency in a fashion the progressives demanded. World War I, however, loomed on the horizon.

After the War Between the States the federal government used military occupation to force the South to comply with its requirements. The South was devastated by the war, former slaves were taught to become dependent upon government benefits, and carpetbaggers took advantage of the situation and dominated politics in the South. Out of the melee rose mighty industries and innovations, which eventually strengthened the country as a whole, and connected her through new states and railroad lines from sea to shining sea. America approached the dawn of the twentieth century with growth, determination, and grit. Meanwhile, alliances and world powers were forming in Europe, as well. The stench of war was in the air.

After enduring the War of 1812 and a mercantilistic attack from Britain, America emerged with growth ahead of it, which included migration into the western frontier and the growth of trade among the states. During the presidencies of James Monroe and John Quincy Adams the years became known as the Era of Good Feeling. However, as the Federalist Party faded into history, strife within the Jeffersonian Republican Party was amiss; leading to the party becoming the Democratic-Republican Party, and ultimately the Democratic Party led by Andrew Jackson. President Jackson eliminated the Second Bank of the United States and the National Debt, but also pushed for Democracy and a consolidation of power at the federal level. The Whig Party rose to challenge Jackson, only to face its own inner strife over slavery. In 1854 the Republican Party, which also came to be known as the Grand Ol' Party (GOP) was formed, splitting the Whigs, and providing a new challenge to the Jacksonian Democrats. Mr. Constitution, Douglas V. Gibbs, explains the details of those years during the Antebellum Period, as well as why knowing history is so important when it comes to paving our way forward along the road to the future.

As the prosperity and merchant activity of the English Colonies grew, laws by the British Parliament began to target colonial trade and production of goods to protect English merchants who were complaining about colonial competition. The collusion of English merchants and government was known as "mercantilism." As the tyranny and taxes by Britain increased, a Great Awakening was launched by Pastor Jonathan Edwards, and Reverend George Whitefield, which would open the eyes of the colonists to the despotic tyranny on the rise in their land.

Our mixed Constitution was designed to establish a balance between democracy and aristocracy, while also ensuring the state legislatures were able to practice oversight over the new federal government in the hopes of denying the central government the opportunity to consolidate all power as would a "national" government. One threat, in addition to the potential rise of domestic tyrants, was foreign influence, so mechanisms were also put in place to diminish America's connections to the European elitist cabal.

The first words of the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States are "We the People." The phrase means "all the people," and relays a message of popular sovereignty. Our American System contains mechanisms that connect our government to the idea of popular sovereignty, be it the consent of the governed to democratic elections for some parts of our system. The concept of popular sovereignty goes back to Mosaic Law in Exodus, Deuteronomy, and Judges. Localism, the sovereignty of governmental units in the system, and a popular vote are all principles that have a biblical foundation. Mr. Constitution explains.

The Temperance Movement, which had launched in the 1820s, gained its ultimate prize in 1919 with the 18th Amendment. Prohibition lasted almost fifteen years, but was eventually repealed by the 21st Amendment. Prohibition was the result of the political involvement of women, which also led to the Women's Suffrage Movement and the 19th Amendment which put into the Constitution the requirement of all States to allow women to vote regardless of their sex. Shortly after that, in an effort to properly clarify and articulate the processes involved in the Presidential Election, and what should happen if a candidate dies or is not qualified, the 20th Amendment was proposed and ratified.

In 1913 we saw the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, and the ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments. All of them are related to each other and were designed to place more power in the hands of the power class of global elites, and to move America away from being a republic, and more towards the transitional form of political systems, democracy.

As Christians, how do we take back our republic? Should we be activists? Revolutionaries? Or must we lead by example? Mr. Constitution explains.

John Adams wrote, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." What did Adams mean? How does class warfare and critical race theory challenge such ideas, and how can we get back to those godly principles that Adams claimed we must hang on to? Douglas V. Gibbs, Mr. Constitution, explains.

A segment of the population will tell you that the Constitution and the founding of the United States was based on secular principles by secular persons. The language of our founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, says otherwise. In this episode of the Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs the man known as Mr. Constitution not only explains that there are biblical principles present throughout our founding, but identifies them both with placement in our founding documents and by chapter and verse from the Holy Bible.

Galatians 5:1 provides us information about liberty, and our pursuit of it rather than us allowing ourselves to give in to bondage. The U.S. Constitution, based on principles of liberty, is worth fighting for by Christians because our freedom also preserves our Christian Liberty to practice worship as we desire, and to pursue the Great Commission. The question, then, is if that is the case, then what does the Bible say about civil disobedience? The right to keep and bear arms? Are there times when Christians have the right, and perhaps even the duty, to stand against government? Mr. Constitution, Douglas V. Gibbs, explains.

What is the difference between the rule of law and the rule of man? At what point do we establish that man is not supposed to mess with laws that are in God's Jurisdiction? Mr. Constitution, Douglas V. Gibbs, explains that the very foundation and keystone of our system of liberty is based on the idea that the rule of law is based on God's Law, and the idea that we are endowed by God with our natural rights.

Gibbs answers the listener's questions, lays out the history of our covenant with the Creator, and details the path we need to take for a new Great Awakening.

American Exceptionalism has been offered by those who oppose the American System as being a type of arrogance where those who believe in the idea of American Exceptionalism believe the United States can do no wrong. Greatness is not the definition of American Exceptionalism, greatness and prosperity is the outcome. American Exceptionalism has more to do with uniqueness, and the willingness of the Founding Fathers to create a system that is the exception to the rule, rather than follow the same path to tyranny associated with having an aristocratic ruling elite. There are six tenets that form American Exceptionalism, and Douglas V. Gibbs goes over those tenets in this episode.

The Christian Foundation of the United States is mixed with Saxon influences, and research of various republics in history. The Framers of the United States Constitution, however, were full aware that without the hand of God the American Revolution would have been lost. Therefore, the miracle of our American System of Government did not emerge until after the delegation took Dr. Benjamin Franklin's advice and gave the Constitutional Convention up to prayer. Douglas V. Gibbs explains how the pillars of Christianity supports our system of government, and that, if we are not a godly people, we are not capable of liberty.
