So thankful to hear someone from whom I've learned much acknowledge that the Lincolnian conquest of the Southern states destroyed the federal republic of the founding generation and that the 1964 Civil Rights Act finished off what little was left. That's partly why I'm a Rushdoonian Christian Reconstructionist.
Without nekid chicks it takes more than a year to build that kind of following. Also, because you didn't link to any of his videos with your social media posts.
On "What's next?": My options. 1. The current Constitution: a bad idea, as it only can govern a moral people, and the left doesn't follow it anyways. 2. Play by the new rules of the left: bad idea. We don't want a society where justice is subjective and political enemies get jail time. Let's not push for that. 3. A new Constitution, which we are willing to fight to put into power. DO THIS!! It has to exist before we can implement it. Give us something good to fight for. And make it like the last Constitution, except adapted to govern a mostly immoral people.
Wow! I can’t unhear this, thank you for the education, the clarifying of the muck that I haven’t been able to find the handle on. Please keep speaking out! I pray the Father keeps you and yours in His grace. I pray this in the name of Jesus.
@@aaronmstevenson any evidence for the existence of hell?? Most religions have some unpleasant version of an afterlife, but they’re built from cultural conditions - desert religions have hot and thirsty hells, Northern European religions have cold and misty hells, etc.
@aallen5256 As soon as the majority of people were cajoled into believing that Heaven and Hell do not exist, then Hell started becoming a reality in this life. The Anti-Reality Fascist-Communists are the best evidence today of the existence of an eternal torment, hot or cold, in Hell after death for those who follow them here and now. That some Christians and people of good will resist this Hell-ization is the best evidence that there is an eternal Heaven after death for those who grow in resisting evil and obeying God. Truth can't be killed and absolutely everything, even trying to kill the Truth, just makes Truth stronger.
@@aallen5256 Concerning the Founding Fathers: I heard Greg Koukl once say, (and I had to look it up, its true) "The phrase 'Founding Fathers' is a proper noun, It refers to specific group: the delegates to the Constitutional Convention There were other important players not in attendance, but these fifty-five made up the core. The following is all public record: Among the delegates were twenty-eight Episcopalians eight Presbyterians, seven Congregationalists, two Lutherans, two Dutch Reformed, two Methodists, two Roman Catholics, one unknown, and only three deists-Williamson, Wilson, and Franklin. The convention took place at a time when church membership usually entailed "sworn adherence to strict doctrinal creeds." This tally proves that fifty-one of the fifty-five members of the Constitutional Convention-virtually 93 percent of the most influential group of men shaping the political underpinings of our nation-were Christians, not deists.
Our form of government has always been about slowing the advancement of what you describe, more than codifying a ridged form of rule. The founders knew the nature of man includes the desire to rule others, but that God's creation isn't the basis for that; rather, the cause is man's sin. The real threat we face by cutting back on government power is the rise of anarchy and chaos, the threat we face by the continued advancement of the power of the state is oppression and tyranny. Both have the same impact, rule by force (coercion), rather than rule of law (agreement).
This is correct. The “civil war” destroyed the country. To the victor goes the spoils. The South saw this coming and tried to peacefully leave and re-establish the original order.
I've read various southern states' manifestos for leaving the union. They claimed "states' rights"...to *own slaves.* I get that the founders compromised on slavery for the sake of uniting the nation and breaking away from the British...but that was a major fuck-up. The "freedom" they wanted to build our nation upon should not have come at the cost of their fellow man.
The ever-pressing question is how do you restructure a system whose people are so significantly different. The fundamental differences between rural and urban in this country are insane. We are different in what we eat, the clothes we wear, the way we conduct ourselves publicly, interpret religion, recognize sex, interpret art, etc. Throughout the other eras or "republics," the people have been fundamentally similar. We don't have that now. Pretty well all binds that have tied us together are severed. Christianity was the biggest for all of our history, but as we've secularized those ties have disappeared. Simultaneously, our history is being erased and reinterpreted to fit the ideological narratives of today. So, as a melting pot, if we don't have the binds of history or religion, how do we restructure a federal system that is beneficial to all it's people? I just don't see it as possible without mass disenfranchisement. One that will surely lead to despotism.
Christianity was not the bond, but the American culture was. As an immigrant, I Americanized myself to adopt a new way of life that had fewer contradictions with my fellow Americans (fitting in). Then, I saw the trend of embracing other cultures popping up. This trend grew over the past three decades and massively in recent years (people recognized and took pride in their ethnicity, non-American background, etc.). That is where we started going wrong, in my opinion. Other cultures are fine, but it shouldn't have overruled over being an American. We, as Americans, should not have tried to fix things that weren't broken (American Values). Most importantly, we should not have listened to our leaders when they were divisive against other citizens. We started demonizing American history and favoring others (like they were any better). In logic, if you give power to everyone, no one should be powerful. That is not the case in real life, which is much more complex. What it did instead was create tribalism. TIme to prioritize and have pride in being an American first.
@@denimhawke593 The fundamental question is: what are the defining characteristics of “American culture”? To my mind, there are either: None OR So many as to not be able to not include other cultures’ characteristics
Even in Christianity there was greater variety than in other religions; as well as open conflict. Also, not all people who colonized North America were Christian.
@@Talon19, Your question identifies our cultural blackout. See any foreign vs. American habit videos to see how we are defined. We choose not to think of them as our culture but as our blatant ignorance and as something to be ashamed of. But this is just a fraction of the answer. Unlike other countries, our traditions are relatively new (since the 1700s) and based on hardships and good times (for example the Great Depression and the Boomer economy). We have a variety of our own food (state to state, city to city). We have a variety of vibrant local traditions and music. All of these are cultural. We just somehow started believing any tradition that is not Western or ancient is a culture. We will need to revisit patriotic movies and stories about the past traditions upheld by our older generations. We celebrate July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. However, with the adaptation of the nuclear family and strangeness among neighbors, we don't celebrate like it was done. Moreover, we have started observing new holidays that need to be made familiar and may not be our cup of coffee. Let us address all citizens (native Americans, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc.) as Americans and not by their ethnicity. And to simplify, let's start with accepting America for its past and present. Be proud and defensive of being an American (just like every culture out there).
4:00 Doesn’t the sixth article of the Constitution explicitly forbid religious tests for office in the United States? I understand the value of religious tests, but I can’t imagine an argument for religious tests being Constitutional.
Well, if you despise, and seek to destroy, the bible and the constitution, how can you swear upon one to uphold the other with comitting perjury? Communists are a primary example of such subversives, but they're not the only ones who qualify. Our government is loaded with people seeking to destroy us from within - and our society is built upon the very pillars under constant attack; the family, the constitution and the Bible.
There are two other quotes along with Adams' quote from the vid that has stuck out to me in the past few years. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters" - Benjamin Franklin "Man will ultimately be ruled by God or by tyrants" - William Penn, Benjamin Franklin
For those who read the Bible, it is there for us to see, but very, very few know it, or would accept it: humans were not meant to rule themselves. We need theocratic leadership to live rich and peaceful lives. Jeremiah 10:23: "I well know, oh Jehovah, that man's way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." Satan's rulership over the earth is soon coming to an end, and it cannot come fast enough.

Moral people don't run for office. If they do, they usually lose. If they win, they're usually too weak to fight for what's right. Mike Johnson, looking at you. We need moral people to run for office, win and have the courage to stand up for the morality we've all benefitted from.

Lysander Spooner was correct, "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
I like the breakdown. One of the biggest problems I see with western society is our reductionist thinking. Every perceived problem is supposed to have a cause and a cure. There's a pill for everything. This is not how the world works. Everything is a system within systems. Systems fluctuate. Trying to correct a fluctuation without completely understanding the cause or causes is just as likely to make it worse as better and will definitely generate more fluctuations in the system. Where we are now, with politicians banning this and taxing that, is about the same as a kindergarten class working on a jet engine.
The key is in understanding what REALLY took place during the Bankruptcy of 1933. Until you understand that you can't undo what's been done. Great video by the way.
Here's another quote from Adams: “The President of the Universe holds no real power. His sole purpose is to take attention away from where the power truly exists...” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
No, it's not dead. Just because people defy, ignore or despise a thing doesn't make it dead. We are meant to become more faithful to it over time, same with the Bible. Remember slavery, Dred Scot, and other atrocious unconstitutional things, past and present? The Constitution was alive then and it lives now - we've just never been wholly faithful to it, but we are supposed to be ever vigilant to work toward improving our fidelity to it. We are human - sinners. And that means we can never live up to any ideal at all times. But we can never, ever give up either.
@@UnderTheFloor79It is not necessarily idolatrous to speak of repentance in that manner. I don't agree with all that Wade's citing. I do agree with his general categories, as well as the obvious result. But, I think we do ourselves a disservice by referring to the law of the land itself in the terminal sense. Instead, what we have are successive iterations, over the course of a century and half or so, of men with dead hearts who have decided to disobey the law itself on an industrial scale. Ergo, the modern administrative state is likely best described as industrialized disobedience, or industrialized unconstitutionality. The fact that so many humans have, for so long, been so sinful does not absolve them from their crime. But they can repent. And one fruit of repentance, among many others, is obedience to man's law that neither commands what Christ prohibits or prohibits what Christ commands. The Constitution itself is binding on all human consciences who are citizens of the land in which it is the supreme law, because it falls squarely within the framework of that general equity compared to God's law. Mankind is both allowed and required to make laws like that. It is a Creation ordinance.
@@marcbahn5487At worst, it's MIA. I don't think it's possible to prove that it's not MIA. And, given the existential nature of reality (e.g. - the existence of SCOTUS), I don't think the absence of the C can be proven.
Great, another person in this sphere interesting enough that I have to sub, there aren't enough hours in the day even on double speed, a good problem to have.
I love the references here, but the assertion is at odds with the ideological sources: if de Maistre is correct and that a Constitution lives in the hearts of its citizens, then the problems and death of the legitimacy of the written document is not such a serious threat to the true constitution of America (which is Christian compatible, but crucially not itself Christian).
Wade! With your astoundingly effective and powerfully clear communication skills - many powerful zinger lines in this video (!) - please keep keep keeping on and be patient…because with your level of gifts you are going to have Tucker Carlson-level visibility within three years.
Great episode! Just a couple of quick questions. If constitutions arise organically and good constitutions are only for moral and religious people, isn't a bottom-up approach the only viable way forward? I've heard Pastor Wilson make the argument for both a top-down and a bottom-up approach, but wouldn't any top-down approach be entirely inadequate so long as the people are irreligious and immoral? Might it not even hamper the bottom-up efforts since many may experience the top-down efforts as a power-grab by a minority group who wish to "impose their morality" on them? It seems to me that any effort to effect a truly Christian nation (whether you agree with post-millennialism, or not) must start with the hearts of men (i.e., true conversion).
@@Talon19 . . . LOL. . .race is not just skin deep. Do you really think we evolved so differently on the outside yet none of that evolution occurred on the inside? All one has to do is open their eyes to see that the different races are different on the outside and the inside. Bell Curves.
This might be related to the video idk i didn't understand all of it, but what scares me about the fall of western democracies is that there is no guarantee that they will ever return. Most people think civilizations exist in cycles but as the tools of subjugation become more sophisticated there will inevitably be a regime as depicted in Orwell's 1984 typically subjugation is an act of will, the will of tyrants vs the will of the people but take AI which has no will of its own and it really scares me where this things might he headed if regular people don't do something
Dumb explanation of why the Founders adopted a written constitution- but alot of the rest of what you said was good. Drop Yarvin as your authority on the the Constitution, insteasd read the Political Theory of the American Founding by Tom West. Caldwell is good. You do ask a classic question- when do we say about our regime, "Stick a fork in it- it's done"? That's a question that helps our republic keep going; Polybius asked that question about Rome and said its death date was set- it survived for hundreds of more years
Dear Sir, God bless America, we are in the direst of straights. Without His help we are all of us in the U.S. headed for a very rude awakening. Today we honor those who gave their lives for our freedom, I count Jesus Christ God's messiah, as the foremost among them. In His words: " Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" John 15:13
God help us. PRAY FOR ISRAEL. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM. The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel. Mark 1:15 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD? THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY, AND GIVE ALL YOUR LIFE TO HIM, WHOSOEVER READS THIS MESSAGE. THE LORD IS GOOD, AND NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN.
I agree we’ve become immoral, but atheist? I argue that the God that sent Jesus to save us all from death and damnation has been replaced by the “gods” of government and The Science(TM).
Wade's content is getting so informative, helpful and comedic, I'm afraid the illuminati is going to send some sort of genetically RuthBaterGinsberg/bat hybrid to target him.
the constitution is the guide for the president congress and supreme court when passing laws. the laws passed need to be constitional or aligned with constitution. rarely are laws passed by b1den admin is constitional. ur video is giving false information about whats in the constitution. its one of few things upholding standards and keeping our government accountable. it prevents new presidents from perverting our systems. which they do any ways. atleast we have constitution to hold them accountable. and most of the stuff you menti9ned in this video is false especially the irrelevant premises you listed.
Love the episode, but i have to disagree with the Constitution only working for moral and religious people. The Constitution was written mostly by Diests. Belief in a higher power is far from organized religion. Lets also not pretend religion and morality are synonymous. You do not have to be religious to have morals, and being religious definitely does not insure morality.
@kristianbraun5604 not picking up on the relevance or what you are insinuating. More explanation? Are you referring to it being 85% Christian and still barbaric as hell or are you talking about every time the country goes into turmoil when someone circumvents their constitution and stages a coup? It's a West African garbage can regardless .

Here's another quote from Adams: “The President of the Universe holds no real power. His sole purpose is to take attention away from where the power truly exists...”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
No, it's not dead. Just because people defy, ignore or despise a thing doesn't make it dead. We are meant to become more faithful to it over time, same with the Bible. Remember slavery, Dred Scot, and other atrocious unconstitutional things, past and present? The Constitution was alive then and it lives now - we've just never been wholly faithful to it, but we are supposed to be ever vigilant to work toward improving our fidelity to it. We are human - sinners. And that means we can never live up to any ideal at all times. But we can never, ever give up either.
And don't forget to ask the constitution into your heart. Amen.
@@UnderTheFloor79It is not necessarily idolatrous to speak of repentance in that manner. I don't agree with all that Wade's citing. I do agree with his general categories, as well as the obvious result. But, I think we do ourselves a disservice by referring to the law of the land itself in the terminal sense. Instead, what we have are successive iterations, over the course of a century and half or so, of men with dead hearts who have decided to disobey the law itself on an industrial scale. Ergo, the modern administrative state is likely best described as industrialized disobedience, or industrialized unconstitutionality. The fact that so many humans have, for so long, been so sinful does not absolve them from their crime. But they can repent. And one fruit of repentance, among many others, is obedience to man's law that neither commands what Christ prohibits or prohibits what Christ commands. The Constitution itself is binding on all human consciences who are citizens of the land in which it is the supreme law, because it falls squarely within the framework of that general equity compared to God's law. Mankind is both allowed and required to make laws like that. It is a Creation ordinance.
It's dead and cremated.
@@marcbahn5487At worst, it's MIA. I don't think it's possible to prove that it's not MIA. And, given the existential nature of reality (e.g. - the existence of SCOTUS), I don't think the absence of the C can be proven.
This was fire 🔥 plz keep making more!
This was the most succinct and accurate summary of American history I've ever heard.
Great, another person in this sphere interesting enough that I have to sub, there aren't enough hours in the day even on double speed, a good problem to have.
"We are no longer moral or religious". True, and we also aren't a *people* anymore - that would be terribly, terribly 'backward'.
Tim Pool brought me, what a phenomenal video man!
Thanks!
I love the references here, but the assertion is at odds with the ideological sources: if de Maistre is correct and that a Constitution lives in the hearts of its citizens, then the problems and death of the legitimacy of the written document is not such a serious threat to the true constitution of America (which is Christian compatible, but crucially not itself Christian).
Wade! With your astoundingly effective and powerfully clear communication skills - many powerful zinger lines in this video (!) - please keep keep keeping on and be patient…because with your level of gifts you are going to have Tucker Carlson-level visibility within three years.
Very good video! useful and actionable
This is the best video of yours I've seen yet. It helps that the opening bit about the goldfish was so good.
You just went and got yourself another subscriber with that kinda talk.
Wilson was the creator of the Administration State.
Why would anyone want to be “normal”?
Normal is dull, boring, monotonous, drudgery, dangerous.
Woah Dude. I've not finished "Ajax" yet.
Holy cow, dudes got a face for TV and voice for radio, quoting Joseph De Maistre right out the gate..
Shut up and take my sub
He looks like 70% of all late 30's white men haha.
Excellent 👍
Phenomenally simplified and accurate. Except for the cancer/chemo thing...come on bro.
Great episode! Just a couple of quick questions. If constitutions arise organically and good constitutions are only for moral and religious people, isn't a bottom-up approach the only viable way forward? I've heard Pastor Wilson make the argument for both a top-down and a bottom-up approach, but wouldn't any top-down approach be entirely inadequate so long as the people are irreligious and immoral? Might it not even hamper the bottom-up efforts since many may experience the top-down efforts as a power-grab by a minority group who wish to "impose their morality" on them? It seems to me that any effort to effect a truly Christian nation (whether you agree with post-millennialism, or not) must start with the hearts of men (i.e., true conversion).
Excellent use of Norm. I do wonder if this wasn't the occasion to use the Dead Parrot sketch from Monty Python. Then again, perhaps I am too old.
This...... is an Ex-Constitution!
Ah I already figured all that stuff out. THANKS FOR SPOILING OEDIPUS REX THOUGH. Jerk.
Dang, i sure have a lot of reading to do. I really just prefer practicing my swagger and quick draw.
Thanks for your hard work, btw
THEN WHY ARE WE PRETENDING SOCIETY STILL EXIST??
We are living in the American inheritance. Gary North explains that pretty well in “Conspiracy in Philadelphia”.
Look at how far we've come - in the wrong direction!
So good, so consistently good!
I love the wade show i wish he had a radio show i coukd listen to everyday woth Doug or someone.
Excellent summary
I'm open to the Second Republic
Has anyone here heard of Jarrin Jackson or David Jose?
They disagree with this…
Swish
This is excellent
Fundamental. . . the different races are fundamentally different and therefore will structure their societies differently from one another.
Race, like culture, is a spectrum. We can’t identify someone’s culture based only on their appearance. After all, race is only skin deep, literally.
@@Talon19 . . . LOL. . .race is not just skin deep. Do you really think we evolved so differently on the outside yet none of that evolution occurred on the inside? All one has to do is open their eyes to see that the different races are different on the outside and the inside. Bell Curves.
No mention of jews or zionists or Israel of course. But otherwise a good vid.
A fellow Norm enjoyer! I knew you were a good fella. Haha
One of your best
Owen Strachan doesn't own a doghouse
Great video, Wade.
I'm not sure that this is my favorite video on TH-cam, but it's certainly a title contender.
Wade truly has a gift. Never before has wisdom and important information been conveyed in such a succinct and humorous manner.
This might be related to the video idk i didn't understand all of it, but what scares me about the fall of western democracies is that there is no guarantee that they will ever return. Most people think civilizations exist in cycles but as the tools of subjugation become more sophisticated there will inevitably be a regime as depicted in Orwell's 1984
typically subjugation is an act of will, the will of tyrants vs the will of the people but take AI which has no will of its own and it really scares me where this things might he headed if regular people don't do something
Excellent
Dumb explanation of why the Founders adopted a written constitution- but alot of the rest of what you said was good. Drop Yarvin as your authority on the the Constitution, insteasd read the Political Theory of the American Founding by Tom West. Caldwell is good.
You do ask a classic question- when do we say about our regime, "Stick a fork in it- it's done"? That's a question that helps our republic keep going; Polybius asked that question about Rome and said its death date was set- it survived for hundreds of more years
Dear Sir, God bless America, we are in the direst of straights. Without His help we are all of us in the U.S. headed for a very rude awakening. Today we honor those who gave their lives for our freedom, I count Jesus Christ God's messiah, as the foremost among them. In His words:
" Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"
John 15:13
God help us.
PRAY FOR ISRAEL.
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.
Mark 1:15
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD?
THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY, AND GIVE ALL YOUR LIFE TO HIM, WHOSOEVER READS THIS MESSAGE.
THE LORD IS GOOD, AND NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN.
I agree we’ve become immoral, but atheist? I argue that the God that sent Jesus to save us all from death and damnation has been replaced by the “gods” of government and The Science(TM).
I wish the whole right wing could see this video man. Great job.
Wow...who knew?
Do not crime
Wade's content is getting so informative, helpful and comedic, I'm afraid the illuminati is going to send some sort of genetically RuthBaterGinsberg/bat hybrid to target him.
yeah its been a ever changing place so wgaf..its why voting is funny..you do not even need to vote and someone will just get elected. its funny af.
i hate hotdogs ☹️
There I said it 😮💨
Erosion of all things good.
I'd time machine if I could.
Did he just make the case for Oral Law supremacy?
I'll like this video ONLY for referencing Joseph DeMaistre.
The rest... not so much.
the constitution is the guide for the president congress and supreme court when passing laws. the laws passed need to be constitional or aligned with constitution. rarely are laws passed by b1den admin is constitional.
ur video is giving false information about whats in the constitution. its one of few things upholding standards and keeping our government accountable. it prevents new presidents from perverting our systems. which they do any ways. atleast we have constitution to hold them accountable. and most of the stuff you menti9ned in this video is false especially the irrelevant premises you listed.
Love the episode, but i have to disagree with the Constitution only working for moral and religious people. The Constitution was written mostly by Diests. Belief in a higher power is far from organized religion. Lets also not pretend religion and morality are synonymous. You do not have to be religious to have morals, and being religious definitely does not insure morality.
Liberia has nearly a carbon copy of the US constitution. Tell me how well their society is.
@kristianbraun5604 not picking up on the relevance or what you are insinuating. More explanation? Are you referring to it being 85% Christian and still barbaric as hell or are you talking about every time the country goes into turmoil when someone circumvents their constitution and stages a coup? It's a West African garbage can regardless .
I don't agree. I do agree with his general categories, as well as the obvious result. But, I think we do ourselves a disservice by referring to the law of the land itself in the terminal sense. Instead, what we have are successive iterations, over the course of a century and half or so, of men with dead hearts who have decided to disobey the law itself on an industrial scale.

Man, such pessimism lol
