to go and call your brothers and the colonel was such a retreat. i know you're watching r t the headlines for you out of sight out of mind u.s. veterans say they've been abandoned by the country they fought for they claim the government is failing its promises to take care of war heroes. really just drug rehab centers are on the rise in russia something that he's facilities are simply facades and dangerous sects. sink to save ukrainian activists are calling for out of peace ships from russia's black sea fleet to be submerged waiting on the official reefs to save the ecosystem. the u.s. constitution is violated daily and then they saw the president and top federal

government officials that's the view of richard mourdock a former arizona sheriff who's now advocating state sovereignty as any way to keep constitution abiding america intact our exclusive interview with him is coming up next. r t is sitting down with richard knapp a retired sheriff from arizona who made national headlines in one thousand nine hundred four when he filed a lawsuit against the federal government since then he's been encouraging state law enforcement officials to rise up against federal agents thank you very much for sitting down to speak with me today sheriff mack well thanks for having me it's great to be in new york you call yourself a freedom activist you have spoken at more than fifty tea parties around the country demonstrations that that. in america charges are

racially motivated what has been your message to the hundreds of thousands of people that have shown up at these tea parties will ironically use rosa parks as an example of what we're supposed to do against stupid laws i think rosa parks was a hero i think what she did in standing against the laws of the time back in one thousand fifty eight she was arrested in america albeit. yes but it's still america and the bus driver had her thrown off the bus and arrested because she refused to give her seat to a white man she was booked into jail stuff like that and i say that the sheriff a true constitutional sheriff would not have arrested or would've sat down next to her would have shaken her hand and congratulated her for displaying such courage in the face of the entire community being against her at least the white community and

law enforcement being against her and i say constitutional sheriff today will protect me from nationalized health care or all the incursions and tyranny of a federal government or even a state government if you were a law enforcement for twenty years and you are a sheriff in arras. for eight years and you argue that the sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement official in the united states more powerful than the president yes explain it well first of all it might be apples and oranges because the sheriff has a different assignment than the president but the bottom line is the president of the united states cannot tell your sheriff what to do the president is not the boss of your elected sheriff and the reason the sheriff is such a powerful position is because he is the only law enforcement officer in the united states or in the county that's elected by foreign of the people and all power in america comes from that source we the people. because other tyrants have stolen

power and it's not how the run but it's supposed to be how they're run and james madison said we can safely rely on the disposition of state legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the federal government so the last line of defense in making sure that happens is your county sheriff you sit on the board of a group called oath keepers that is a group of law enforcement officials and military servicemen and women that you say are now committed to upholding the oath that they have taken to defend the constitution that a novel idea we actually keep our word with out there isn't that amazing but what why why do you believe that that the constitution is being violated well because it is every day i mean if you read the constitution when i was a rookie cop i made

a huge mistake i actually read the constitution and specifically the bill of rights and i saw. one hand what the constitution says i saw on the other hand what the government is actually doing i mean you. you you actually said it yourself when you say the things aren't run this way anymore and that isn't how things are done in government because we don't follow the constitution yet we have everybody stand up there the president on january twentieth will take an oath when he first takes office that he will uphold indies and preserve the united states constitution and the very next day he commits perjury because he doesn't do it and he's not alone i mean nancy pelosi doesn't keep her rose she doesn't care about the constitution harry reid doesn't care about the constitution why is this all of this uprising being seen when president barack obama and the white house where we're americans

and your fellow tea parties and the sheriff's way george w. bush was sitting in the white house for eight years i've been saying this about bush and clinton i've been saying this last twenty years but wow but the rest of the americans that are turning out are all these tea party ok but the it's a valid question and it's a good question and it's a real. phenomenon that exists and the uprising did start big time with brock obama there's no question that this uprising though was happening during clinton and bush but not on the level that it was not at the level we see you know no question about it no question about it i did speaking tours before this but not at the pace i'm doing it now i mean i'm speaking two or three times a week all across america and i never have any fact that we have a black president no i am not arsene that i have never seen now i've i've been there and i'm sure there are some races racism here in america i have never seen it

at any of the fifty or sixty events i've been to the reason and i want you and everybody listening in america to know and understand it's because of barack obama's policies he took the abuse of the bush administration he took the. the use of the clinton administration to the tenth power i'm going to tell you right now for the record i will never take nationalize socialistic brock obamacare ever and if he wants to come and arrest me tell him to come on i'll give you my address because i'm not taking i don't want to be speaking to him any time soon because he's watching our scene he should get your eyes to his this is one of the best news agencies around i want to ask you specifically about the uprising that is being seen between local and state officials and federal officials that are now entering states and you know what i call that i call that finally state local officials doing their jobs it's how it recently happened in nevada and

a sheriff from one of the counties there posted a you tube video and said himself that that a civil war could break out in this country due to the tension. and the conflict that is growing in me between local officials and federal officials yeah isn't that scary can a civil war break out i think it can happen exactly but no i don't think it is but my message is is if the sheriffs of this country and local officials as well but not just sheriffs but chiefs of police and peace officers and county commissioners and county attorneys especially the sheriffs working together with the sheriffs we will keep this peaceful is the only way left to keep it peaceful if we have citizen standing i mean you've heard susan say i know you've heard citizen you've been around guys who these redneck to have done and i'm one of the i've said it you know i wrote a book called from my cold dead fingers why america needs guns government can't

take my gun if unless i've done something wrong and you've heard citizens say they'll take my gun from my cold dead fingers they'll take it one bullet at a time or what not what are we going to do to prevent people when the government comes in and tries to confiscate guns now this is only the. no you should have your meal you know that control except for violent felons yeah people but you see the supreme court just ruled that we have the right to keep and bear arms now it's an individual right they just in mcdonald versus chicago they ruled in our favor this rising tension that is taking place right now between local law enforcement officials and federal officials do you think it's going to get worse no i think it's actually going to get better i think the states just as arizona is doing now with the immigration issue going to put the federal government in its place the federal government has overplayed their hand they have made it very clear they're not going to do their jobs to protect our borders don't you find it the epitome of

hypocrisy that the federal government claims that we need to risk lives in afghanistan and iraq because we have a war on terror but they refuse to secure our borders you cannot have a war on terror and not secure your borders so arizona now says you're not doing your job we will protect ourselves because we are an independent and sovereign state which they can't yet with which and then i'll get other problems really had nothing to do with the constitution she didn't even quote anything from the constitution she just said this is a bad idea that's not her job to give her opinion about whether or not this would be good or bad her job is to follow the constitution she did nothing of the sort and yes the state of arizona is still going to protect itself you don't need a judge you think they're going to bypass the chads that are already are they already are and what my ruling my ruling on the tenth amendment has been bypassed and ignored by the united states congress have they gotten in trouble. the supreme

court has no enforcement arm that actually the president of the united states is supposed to enforce my case against the federal government they don't do it clinton didn't do in fact clinton he. had this decision from the american people so what option are you left with your state sovereignty the only solution that we have left is state sovereignty local control the sheriff of this country getting together with county commissioners county attorneys and standing fighting any wrecking the barriers against the encroachments of the national government the federal government that they to anarchical a mass uprising no no it will lead to lawful consideration and lawful adherence to the constitution if we follow the constitution we're going to be fine we're not in trouble marina because we're following the constitution too closely far from it we're destroying the constitution and our own federal government is the

greatest threat to our god given constitutional american republic if we make sure they stay within their parameters and their limitations then we're going to survive this if if the federal government doesn't stay within their prescribed limitations in the constitution then this is going to be then this is only the beginning sheriff thank you very much for saying that speak with me maria thanks for having me. the leech and says stang division. knew our minds. for months of preparations the pain the failures to monster mind. the last effort to keep the lead on the eastern front pew lead citadel of sun
