bankrupt. >> we don't think so, but if you have personal de, pay it off. tt's the best thin we c say. we will not go banupt. ing in.ose tweets and thanksks everybody for watching. >> wt happened to the constitution? nothing. it's still here we wrote rules tt helped create the most successful country in the story of the world. this allows f experiment. lab to hers of democracy, the lab a are a to hers of democracy. that gives some peoe like gay marriage and legal marijuana. we fnders are horrifieby the way the dpg violates the principles we wrote in here. rick perry gets his right. >> get out of the health care busins. >> but some people want the constitution weakened evenn more. why doesn't yourarty comeut against t

second amendment? 225 years ago still mean that these are the rules? this is what assured that the peopleemained free, and this is also the topic of stossel' show tonight. stossel: when this constitution was created, it was mostly new idea. no one knew whether a nation founded on those principles would survive. after the fnders signed this, ben franklin said the u.s. would be a republic if uucan keep it. we, we've kept it for 225 years. maybe frankl wouldn't have predied that. but som aaericans suggest we ggve up on the constitution. many libertarians argue it's already been watered down so much s it doesn't preserve the liberties. uldn't even say, of course, that violates

the constitutio when senator coburn asked her this. >> if i wanted to sponsor a bill, and it said, americans you have to eat three vegetables and three fruits every da does that violate the commerce clause? >> sounds like a dumb law. stossel: yeah, but that 't the question. kagan simplyefused to say that t constitution prevents government from telling us exactly what we should eat. >> i think courts would be wrongo strike down laws tt they think is senseless just because they're senseless. stossel: senseless does not mean unconstitutional. how about striked down just because dicting that every americans must eat three vegetaes and three fruits a day. it's a horrible intrusion in our lives. i would hope t constitution would ban laws like that. many conservatives would also assume this wld

for bid congressrom buying things like health insurance. tim of the leg foundation thinks that, but two years ago the strowrt said no there's nothing in the constitution that makes most of obamacare constitutional. and the guy from center of proess says the court was correct. don't we have a right to t buy something? >> i don't know how to tell you this, but the government already makes you buy things like broccoli. what do you think food stamps are? the government h the power to tax you and to buy thingsith it. the affordabare act basically cut out the mileman. >> obamacare sd every person is required to purchase health insurance and if they don'they're pen lsed that succeeded congress' power under the commerce por of the constitution oinion then it said you have to pay a tax if you don't y healthnsurance, which, by thway, was also wrong. stossel: and president obama has flipped on this.

in 2009 he said, nobody considers that a tax increase. but a year later, the administration changing st now defends insurance ndate as a tax. couple yearsater the white house chief of staff jacob lou, no, it's not a tax. you pay a penalty so you just pay yourair share. the obama administration will say whateeers necessy in order to -- stossel: isn't this isting this beyond -- >> forhatever you guys wanted to do. >> if a law became unconstitutional that a politician said something about it that later said it was untrue. every law would be unconstitutional. noneconomic regulation is something that congress can't do. >> they couldn't pass a murder law. they couldn't pass a rape law. they couldt pass a treuns law. they couldn't pass law governing sexual morality. >> they can tell us what to eat? >> they can tax you

whether through a food stamp program- >> can they force me to eat theegetables a day? >> probably not. >> the federal government has limited powers. >> that's what i thought it said. the constitutional only refers to certain specific kinds of tes. stossel: let's limit it to two issues, the commerce clause, whic says yo could regulate either state commerce, andhe general welfare, to pay the debts,rovide forhe common defense, and the general welfare. liberals tell me, well, that means that athing is in the general welfare. >> that's just wt's wrong with that interpretation..3 if that's what the constitution meant, it would only be one sentence long. congress has power to do whatever is in everyone's general welfare. it says congress said regulate in the state mmerce. it can collect taxes they affect interstate commerce why did they bother

righting that stuff in the constitution if congress can regulate -- what the founding fathers wereoncerned with was making se the government had federal enumeratorred powe that's why they listed them in the constitution. unfortunately it's true. courts have wroly -- >> you say wrongly and you lawyers can argue about anything endlessly. it's likthe battle is over. they say the federal government cano whatever they want. >> that's not correct. the federal government cannly regulate commer among the severaltates. it's true that courts havenfortunately allowed them to extend power beyond what the constitution has authorized. that's theirault. it doesn't mean that the constitution is somehow meangless. it means people he ignored the nstitutional promise. >> fdr said we should -@amend the constitution. the bill of rights should include the right to a useful job, the right to provide

adequate food, clothing, and recreation, the rit to a decent home. >> congress should make that a decision. take money from everybody else and g everybodydequate recrtion? >> congress has the power to raise taxes, and they have the power to spend that money. and so the question is: who do we want to make the decision of how that money is spend? when we're talking about constitutional law we' talking about who should have the power. the elected representatis that we havehe power to throw out or the supreme court. stossel: the problem is not everytng is to t majority vote. the pot of t constitutionas not to say, we're gng to allow ngress to control all these things. the point was to say we will not allow the government to control various things. stosl: i understand why people say it's not in here. it's a musty old document. it's out of date. look at how the founders dressed in these crazy

wigs some owned slaves and slavery was implicitly ngd by the constitution. it says for the purposes of elections. free persons cou as one. all other persons count as three fifths. the founders themselves ignored the constitution. president john adams gned the aien and sedition acts which forbade any false and malicious writings against the government. and who decided that? the government. that's clearly a violation -- congressman was jailed because he said john adams practicedidiculous pomp, foolishration. he spent four months in jail and trowrnd congress at least one case the supremourt stepped in that i was unconstitutional. government ignored the court. they wanted to cleert country to make more

room for white people. the chair c i they fofound out theaw i court demanding that their land not be stolen. chair cacherokee said they had a treaty. president andrew jackson ignored the law. the army forced the cherokee and other indians to leave their home and settle in oklahoma. thousands diedrying to get there. congressman davey crockett condemned i saying ourappy days of republican principles are near an end. he was so upset he left the unitedtates and amused toexas which was then independent, not yet a stae, but many americans support the evil policy. the government didn't formerly apologize for it until five years ago and that's all awful. so, tim, if presidents have inored the constitution and when lincoln suspended habeas

corpus during the civil war, why do you libertarians say we ought to be held to this. >> the cstitution is a promise about how government power is going to be used. it was a promisey people who had experienced tyranny. the leon theyearned from tt was that the st important isue is to wall off government power from our private lives and to ma sure that nobody, not elected officials, not a king, not a dictator, no one gets to dictate how we live our liv on a daily basis. the cheree is great examplple. in tt cse, georgia said it should be left up to officials how property is used in this ate. therefore we will pass is law -- >>yranny of the majority. >> what the fndin fathers were doing was ying to make sure that no government of any sort told us how to live our lives. >> there are limits in the document.

they're not the onesou say they are. stossel: wre out of time. to join this argument follow me on twitter at stossel or like my facebook page and post on my wall. we want to knowt you think. coming up: a fox anchorman who amazed me by getting big ratings talking abouthe constitution. glenn bebeck is back for a visit. and later, we fight about at this means when it comes to nastyweed.

{door unlocking} hey, what's up? (door closing) how's it going? what are you doing? i can't believe you're watching this without me. we agreed we'd catch up on everything tonight.

if i did this to you, you'd murder me in my sleep. you know what? just watch it by yourself. (sighs) i can't not know when i know that you know. the latest episodes of the top 100 shows are preloaded and ready to watch with xfinity on demand. stossel: we thought what we wrote was pretty good, but two years later some of us said maybe we wer't clear enough about the limits on government power, so we passed ten amendments. first, congress shall make no law abridging freedom speech oof the press i'm glad we have a first amendment. it made myareer possible. it allowed me to expose bad guys who chea people. once the day before home pregnancy test kits i had a fmale producer take my ear on two abtion clinics.

two of the clinics said i was pregnant.3 they wld have given my producer a fake abortion had she had notfirst said no. i changed my mind. i confronted those doctors. played them the audiape. two closed their practices and disappeared. had i not recorded them they would have lied and id that would have never happened. i needed that recorng to approve that fraud a cosmetic made stuff said the cheap and expensive stuff come out of the same vat. the company admitd it. >> in the country -- that is. [no audio] >> we can buy any of the colors nor only 18 cen and put our own label on the package. would we then hav the same stuff as calvin klein and the like. >> oh, yeah. stossel: in other words, if you

paid more f calvin klein, estee laura you were tricked. >> it would have you paid hher prices for imagery. >> you got them om us only bause we went unrcover and because one retired chemist uld talk. without the hidden recording we coun't get you tt information. i won an emmy for that report, but these days i rarely do hidden camera investigations. my employers discouraged it. they feared being sued. i went along because i hated the secrecy behind it. i was afraithey would catch me and break my legs, but james o'keefe isn't scared. you probably know him from his most famous undercover sting. they pretended this we prostute and pimp talking aboutow to hide income from illegal

acvities. then he went on to catch a national public radio executive, pandering for money from a fake muslim group and claiminthe tea party was seriously racist. so, james, you're lucky america has a first amendment. >> well, i mean, it's pretty remarkable the pressure we faced, the lel trouble we've gotten into. vernment coming after me for using false pretenses, lying to federal officials. two party cnsent lies. there's not very much a rst amendmenin this country when it comes to journalism and undercover reporting. the. stossel: let's talk about those cases. you were doing a story about senator mary landry there were reports she wasn't answing her phone so you posed as phone repairman. so i guess that was against louisiana law. >> i suppose. we could charge a our politicians in washington with entering their buildings with false pretenses.

if it's nothingng more i'm fibbing my iention of being here. these laws are designed to protect the government from being defrauded i'm an investigative reporter who uses undercover methods. don't intend to commit fraud. i intend to have conversations to uncover they're having fraud. >> evee canada which we thk of as a free country where they sort of have a first amendment with an asterisk, people get prosecuting muslim. i can say president obama is a liar. the c of google is panderg do lefties and they can't do anything to me. you got in trouble and i was threatened plenty of times on this two party cot law, and you had to settle with a corn for 100,000 dollars. explain the law. >> if i'm still anna cornorker he has to give me coent or i have to be in an area where there's no

expectation of privacy. my critics le to use this acornundred thousand dollar lawsuit that i'm a liar. that lawsuit was over invasionf pricy. whether a government employee has rights to be recorded or not. it had nothing to do with lying about him. by the wa david won a polk journalism award for filming mitt romney- >> l'semind the dience of that clip. this was taken by a left ng bartender and goifn mother jones. >> with him. believe that they are victims. they beliive government hathe possibility to careor them. who believe they are entitted and they will vote for this president no matter what. >> so mother jones wins a polk award for tt. thn't do anything except take it from ts guy and run it. but you get prosecuted? >> yep. there's an incredible

amount of hypocrisy. daniel is a hero. julian is a ho. things about edward snowden. these people are considered heroes, but we do the same thing and we do getttacked for it and that's unfortunate. >> i've been attacked for it in baltimore we exposed a crooked doctor. and they said don't go to maryland or you'll be arrested. the 12 states have this two party law. like maryland, calirnia, illinois, i suspect there's more corruption in those states. >> absolutely. illinois just recently their supreme court overturned a portion of the law, and i think people say go to chicago, james. i cat actuay do undercover work in chicago becaus of the laws there. they tried to issue me a criminal subpoena -- >> you used hidden cameras to show how easy it was to commit voter fraud. before thelection he

had people try to vote using the names of dead people. >> general roger. >> could he receive a ballot to vote without showing any id? >> there you go mister. i lef myd in the car. glenn: you go ahead. >> new hampshire passed a ver id law after you dihat. >> it was literally lighting the flames of democracy. the house of representatives in new hampshire passed the law. people were outraged that ballots were offered in the names of the dead. it embarrassed the governor who oppose that. his attorney genal issued a criminal grand jury subpoena because we embarrassed the government. we showed you can vo fraudulent. and this is how ty treat journalists in this country. they come after you. they use intimidation instead of solving the

problem that our reports show to be wrong. they attack the whistle-blower. >> yes, except you keep doing it. and they haven't put you in jil. though you did have to serve community service in -- >> actually three years of probation, i was not allowed to leave new jersey for three yea. >> in many other countries you would be locked up forer if not killed. soou do benefit from our first amendment. i agree with you. i wish you were freer to tell people what's gog on. thank you, james. coming up, the constitution's second amendment. government shall not infringe on theight of the people to keep and bear arms. what exactly does that mean? mean? when stossel returns. ♪ music

...the getaway vehicle! for all the confidence you need.

td ameritrade. u got this.

stossel: a well-regulated militia being necessaryo the

security oa free state. the right of e peopl to keep and bear arms l t be infringed. what exactlyoe that mean? did they mean only a well-regulated militia has the right to bear arms. no, any adult who is not a felo can have a gun the supreme court said. this camouflages the people on the left especially after a rrible shooting. i mean, 27 children were mowed down, isn't that enough for us? >> why doesn't your party come o against the second amendment. >> attorney steve holbrook specializes in the second andme. what do you say to people like bill maher who is this is jus nuts everybody having guns. we have certain freedoms inwith shrined in the ll of rights and they can be dangers sometimes. the right assembl,

the right to free speech, these can lead to bad consequences as well as -- >> they say guns are worse that this was written for a time when people have muskets and now we've got machine guns >> rifles, pistols, and shotguns. those are protected by the second amendment. the supreme courtd the other are not. there's a big difference between the single pull of thegger for each shot versus keing the trigger down. stossel: if it's not a militia why didn't they talk about a militia. by recognizing the right to bear arms, the law-abiding people would have arms and when the time came they could be @rnizedo militia. >> you have gun control in the 13 reich. does arming the jews and emies of the state. >> well-intentiod

poticians crd registrationf firearms. they thought this would something to soe violence and crime. >> as people today say. >> and theyarned don't let these registrion records fall into the wrong hands. in 1933 the hitler dictatorship began to consolidate its power. they looke at social democrats to take their guns away a disarm them and in fact against all itspponents. by 1938, people don realize the focus of that was to disarm the jewi population of germany. stossel: hitr said the most foolish mistake we would make is to allow the subjects to bear ms. >> we knew how to enforce it. nazi germany it was the deathly penalty for not turng in your guns within 24 hours. >> what would the founders have thought about the second amendmenif they were alive today and seeing

gun stores running commercials like this. >> w says fami fun time can't be family gun time. shooting isun so give it a shot arica. cheapethan dirt has everything you need for good times and great memories. >> the founders ty enjoyed firearms. they had shooting matches. if youook at the dairies of ethan the vermt boys they had -- they enjoyed it. they useduns for pleasure, t for food. @p>> after the shooting of santa barbara passed the law to make it easy -- take guns from a family er you feel is dangerou >> there is a procedure for keeping guns out th hands of people who their relatives know ey are dangerous. people are sang it's horrible. it's going to take away the rits of law-abiding citizens. what about the rights of

victims? u n't just have relativeves who ght want to get rid ofhem make a statement and then they get picked up and then their guns are taken away. there has to be due process of law. >> cominn up what does this document say about marijuana, gay marriage, and the right to die if you're sick. but next, i wonder was this guy one of my students. >> under the constitution, have freedom. u have freedom to worship, you have freedom to speak and you have freedom to you have freedom to create so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it'just that i'm worried about you ow "dden tngs..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank ere no branches equals great rates.

so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are24/7branches? it's just i'm a little reluctant to try new things. at's wrong with trying new things? feel that our muscles? yeah... i do... stossel: one of the first people currently mto come to fox news was a tv host who surprised me by getting good ratings talking about this old document. what happened to the constitution? tonight an hour dedicated to the constitution.

the constitution's goal was to limit the power of government so the power ould lie with you, the people. stossel: glenn beck joins us now from his blazetudio in dallas. >>hat's kindf old outdated constitutional talk now. it's a dusty ielevant cument at this point. >> i know you're kidding. we did a search 416 times you mentioned the constitution. what made you think people would listen to you talk about the constitution? >> because i had props. one time i talk about it, i would wear, you know, leader hose en. who could turn the channel? i think ten years ago, maybe 15 years ago, you couldn't have talked about the constitution. people wouldn't have cared. but now people see, oh, happening and theygs are shouldn't be. what -- why are they happening? where have we gon wrong? and you goack to the original docnts and you e what's gone

wrong. >> so ive us a couple exames. >> i don't know. the spyg from the nsa. just about everything right now. just about everything, john. stossel: some people say, hey, look, they wore stupid wigs. some of them had slaves. we shouldn't follow this document. >> look at theeople that are saying it now. i mean, i can't find anything wrongith the people of today? are you kidding me? some people are having boorgses. some people are still some people are, you know, full-fledged crazy. itoesn'tean that we -- we look and we erry-pick the crazy -@things and the bad things. we look at the sum of what the. despite what anybody likes to say, our founding fathers were wildly intelligent. they studied man and gornment throughout the generations of time. and theyaid what works what doesn't work. that's why it's a genius

document. >> and your talking about the constitution on tv means yo went boly where no man went before. one man proceeded you ptain kirk. each claim they had rights over the year. kirk said this. look at these three wos written larger than the rest with a special pride written before. we, the people. these words and the wordshat follow were not writtennly for the yangz,ut for the kongz as well. they must apply to everyone. >> i suspect the kongz and glenn beck saw this isode and this show pointi out this big int. do you think that was a font problem that somebody said, hey, hey, we, the peop it'too big. it's not all going to fit on a page? no, that was code. they wanted to make a point..3 hey, dummy, look, we, the people is the

aner. but the sense now among many americans is that the wa to help the people is to pass lots of laws. >> nn. no. they're just simply wrong. the way to fix our problems is to obey the laas it was written in the constitution. let me tell you a story. this is about charles pomeroy stone. this is an original document. this is original letter. ani want to tell you about this guy. he was duly protecting detail of abraham lincoln. he went through the first inauguratn then he went and there was a really bad battle in the civil war, and they needed to blame somebody for it, so what ey did is they didn't pay attention to the constitution. they held himithout charge, they tried him without a jury. they tried him without him being able to speak in his own defense. he spent 189 days in jail before fally abraham lincoln signed

a -- a notice that you had to release him. his life was completely destroyed. it was so bad, his name was mud, if you will, it was so bade was run out of the country in 1883 edges bk because his country nds him. he decedents that i know wh the people did, but i know wh the constituti says and i believe in the constitution. we needed somebody that could understand thi -- this group of boxes that we needed to put togethernd put in the harbor. this is an original order here to order 8,000 cubic yards of stone for th base of the statue of liberty. the guy who was wronged by our -- by our own government because they didn't follow the constitution, they dn't do the right @hing, he knewhe constitution is worth standing f. the constitutions that light in that ldy's lamp and'll help restore that no tter whatheeople might do. because the people will screw it up, but the constitutions true. >> after president

obama's state of the union messagege, you said he fully intends to trash the constitution and simply sei control ask&do wtever he wants to do. i think that's a lile unfair. >> that doesn't sound like me. >> y didn't say that? >> that doesn't sound like me. but thank you gln it. be. coming up a fight between -- >> i've mellowed some, john. i've stopped assigning amto people. i've stopped assigning intentions to people. i don't know what their intentions are they're not staing up for t constitution. we, the people must because it is ou document and it is our job to snd up for it. 's our jobo lea it, to know it, to le it. the constitution will always be lived on this contint whether there's a flag flying over theapital that's red, white and blue or black, there will be the constitution that's lived by the people as long as it's uerstood and cared in people's hearts and that's what

matters. we have to live i what ear people do that's up to them. we have to live it. >> thank you glenn beck. coming up the fight between thfederal government and the statts. >> get out of the health care business. get out of the education busine. stop hammering industries.

stossel: we wrote ts to protect people from oppress i have governments to make that extra clear we added the tenth amendment. powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution, in other words, if the powers aren't wrien in here, those pors are reserved to the states or to the people. at the time, america had 13 states. more territories became states, there were more chances for people to say we don't like what those her states are doing. we want to go a different way. so people like to say this. >> states are the lab are hers of democracy. the state lab are a to hers of democracy. >> we libertaans like competitn so 50 states gives us some, but the federal government doesn't allow that to happen. nick is the editor

ththe websiteeason.com. when i was 18, drinking alcohol was allowed in most states at age 18 so that wasood experintation what happened? >>he great federalist ronald reagan who ran o a campaign of what he called the new federalism of decentlizing power to the states passed a fundinggmemps so all the states if ty wanted ohio federal dollars -- 21 andhas what happened. we like lab are a to hers of demracy. barrooms of democracy, not so much. this is the real gist of federalism. everyone is a fair weather federalist. you lovet when it does what you want. >> but it's a dumb rase bse federalist means the opposite of what it sounds like. >> you decentralize powe across 50 states or however my you have. (?) >> that's what we call federalized. >> and that's a gd idea. >> and i taxes we have

some competition that keeps california being as worse as it is because has texas as a model. when you look at california and texas the two biggest states in e country, california takes in almost if we feel percent of its state economy in sta and local taxes. texas only about seven and a lf pcent. so one state has high taxes and high services. the other has low taxes and low services. people can sort basedn which model they like. >> and theye moving to texas. >> they do seem to be. >> gay marriage is a stat experimentation sometimes. it is ithe sense that some states have passed laws that have legalized gay marriage in the states now the federal government which do not technically recognize that i start of letting the states experiment a hopefully as it rolls outt's similar to pot legalization. people can learfrom those experiments. so we like this or we don'like this or we can tweak it when it

comes to our state. >> and alcohol problems ended in the same way. >> that's right what happened was there a constitutional amendment that banned it. and when it was repealed it was left up to the states. and there were states like oklahoma which didn'tctually go back to allowg e sale of liquor for decades after problems was repealed. >> abortion was a state controversy until roe v. wade. >> that's ggt and this is where you get in a weird thing where do do you want a federal law or state law. before roe v. wade, new york first and foremost had essentially legalized artion. some states would ha it. others wouldn't. what roe vade said in the first three months of pregncy at least every woman and every ste in the countrhas the right to abortion on demand. >> thefound this right in the constitutn somehow. >> what they said that it's under t rights of

privacy that came from an earlier decision about contraception. and, you know, this is where you t into the question of federalism. if it's anssential ght, you know, that you have as a citizen of the unit states, it should be recognized everywre. is it one of these things where it should be up to dferent states and localities to say yeah, this is okay. new jersey and oreg, for instance, don't allow peoeople to pump gas. they say it's too dangerous. we just can't have that. >> they said, oh, it will take jobs ay now. >> is this somethi do i have theight to pump my own gas? you know, i benefed from it as a college graduate, pumping gas. >> no you do not have that right in two states. you can move if it matters that much to you. thank you nick. reason.com. coming up my colleagues and i are t reason your lif is pretty

good. haveou thanked me haveou thanked me lately?

when folks think about what they get from alaska, haveou thanked me lately? they think salmon and energy. but the gy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and mufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when wset up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. stossel: when we wrote that, america was what you people today call t thirdorld. no one had indoor plumbing or running water. our leader, george washington was one of america's riest men, but even he had no teeth. he had to wr this painful set of dent. only 3illion people us were much poorer than

other relatives in england, but then protected by that, americans tried new things and in just a century, you ma amicahe mt prosper country in the world. whdid th happen herr? i say largely because of me and y coleagues because we wrote the a constitution that said there will be limits to government. we founders knew about britishyranny so we understood the dangers big government. thomas jefferson said trust no man with too much government power. instead bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution. chains. which. wish we had some chains to put on these guys now. at went wrong in 225 years. we thought we we clear on putting limits on eager politicians. james madison wrote the powers delegated to t federal government are few and defined. a few of my fellow

delegates still voted against the constitution, not because it was too radical, butecause they feared it left governments too much power toimit individu freedom. one delegate wrote, conceiving as i did that the liberties of america were notecured by the system, it was my duty to oppose it. i disagreed, but i w happy two years later when tooake it clear that the rights lie theeople, not the government, we wrote a bill of rights. some of us argued that would be redundant. >> why declare things should not be done when there's no power to do? why should it be said that the liberty of the press should not be restrained by no power is given b which restrictio can be -- >> eventuay we signed off the bil of rights. now, your piticians say government can do justbout everythg except what is forbidden by the bill of rights.

still the constitution's limits have done you a lot of good. during t korea war steeorkers threatened to go on strike. truman nationalized the coal industry. within two months, the supreme court ruled, well, i'l let movie tone tell it. >> there seezure by president truman was held illegaa by the e court. th thas wt natialg thba whheoung be rs but eonit h sled t grow o government. in 1895 congress passed an income tax,ut the supremes said, no, the constitutionoes not gi you the power too that. the income tax was struck down. waat a second i have to pay income tax. i payotf ita and and

more than two-thirds of congress managed to amend the constitution to allown income tax. that's why i say the constitution at leas sled dow the government. for a long time the supreme court ignored theesecond amendment, but n they've started to enforce that too. five years ago they ruled that indiduals do have the rit to keep and bear arms. some places still haven't gotten the memo. john stossel tried getting an illegal peit to carry an gun, but he hadn't proved a special need for it. they sent me a letter rejecting my plicion. that was in new york city, but chicago nd washington have been forced to change laws to honor the send emit. soou should thank us for tt. then all of you can have wh thomas jefferson% promised a wise and

frugal government which would leave men free to go after their money pursuits. that's stossel'show tonight. he'll be back this time he'll be back this time next week. the llowing is a paid adveisent from srvista entertainment and time life. ♪ somewhere beyond the sea ♪ bobby darin, frank sinatra, dean martin... ♪ volare ♪ whoa-oh... tony bennett, nat king cole, johnny mathis... ♪ it's not for me to say you love... ♪ ng crosby, patsy cline, elvis presley... ♪ but i can't help faing in love with you ♪
