Our guest today is Arizona State Representative Quang Nguyen. Quang is an Arizona State House Legislator representing Legislative District 1.
Quang is also the President of the Arizona State Rifle & Pistol Association, and in 2021 Quang was honored as the National Legislator of the year by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). 
1) You will be one of the 30 Speakers at the 10th Annual Celebrate & Protect the 2A Rally Event on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at the AZ State Capitol.
When I asked you for a quote about why the 2A is so important, you stated, “I live to defend the Second Amendment, because I have lived without the Second Amendment.” Talk to us about that.
2) You and I know that the Bill of Rights was written for everyone. It was never intended to be a political issue nor a political football, but it sadly has become just that. Is it possible to push politics back out of the discussion about our Individual Liberties to keep and bear arms?
3) We have a nationwide – actually worldwide audience, but you Serve in the AZ Legislature. Like several States across the nation, AZ has a democrat governor, how will the current legislature advance legislation to protect our gun rights?
4) Do you have any 2A bills on the 2023 agenda?
5) Talk to us about your 2021 bill that protects the firearm industry in Arizona.
6) We expect the left to introduce gun-control bills, how will you handle these bills as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Texas Values Report with special guest Kelly Shackelford, President & CEO of First Liberty Institute and host Jonathan Saenz, President & Attorney for Texas Values

Texas Values Report - Kelly Shackelford - 12.5.2023

This article breaks down each provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to discover its meaning and explore the history behind it. Our purpose is to understand why it was added and how it applies to us today.

Understanding the Fourteenth Amendment

Our interest in preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution of the United States lies not in preserving the document itself or even the system of government established by it, it lies in our interest in preserving, protecting, and defending our lives, liberty, and property.

Sweet - Land - Of - Liberty

One of the key features of the United States Constitution is the concept of limited, enumerated powers. This is an extremely important concept. When enforced, it protects the people from their government officials crossing the line between protecting their rights and telling them how they must live their lives.

Which is Worse - Too Few or Too Many Laws?

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to rise against those who seek to subjugate them, to cast off the yoke of corruption and despotism, and to reclaim the liberties which are their inalienable right, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to such resistance. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all people are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. 

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. 

That whenever any person, corporation, or government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to resist, to abolish the chains of their oppression, and to institute a new order, laying its foundation upon justice, equality, and the common good. 

Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light causes; and experience shows that people suffer abuses while evils are sufferable. 

But when a long train of usurpations reduces them under absolute tyranny, it is their right, their duty, to rise against such oppression. 

The history of Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an oligarchy, the destruction of democracy, and the enrichment of the few at the cost of the many. 

To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. 

They have conspired to erode the institutions of government, dismantling agencies that serve the common good and replacing them with mechanisms of personal profit and unchecked control. 

They have wielded their influence to silence dissent, to intimidate laborers who seek fair wages, and to strip away the power of the working class. 

They have sought to consolidate wealth and dominion over the people, turning the machinery of the state into an instrument of their own ambition, rather than the servant of the people’s will. 

They have disregarded the rule of law, treating justice as a weapon to be turned against their enemies while shielding themselves from consequence.

They have turned against the world, casting aside alliances, abdicating responsibilities, and making the nation an island of greed and cruelty in a world that once looked to it for leadership.

They have corrupted the channels of information, spreading falsehoods and deceit to cloud the minds of the people and to turn them against one another.

They have fostered division, stoking the fires of hatred and fear, so that neighbor turns upon neighbor while they consolidate their grip upon the nation.

We have petitioned for redress; our voices have been ignored. We have sought change through law and democracy, yet they have bent these systems to their own will. We have borne their transgressions with patience, yet their abuses only grow in number and in magnitude.

Therefore, we, the people of the United States, in solemn assembly and by the authority of our own will, do declare that we shall resist.

We shall not be governed by tyrants, nor be subject to the whims of those who wield power without accountability.

We shall take up the cause of freedom, standing against those who would strip it from us.

We shall meet their oppression not with submission, but with defiance, knowing that liberty is never given, but must always be won.

We do not undertake this lightly.

We do not seek strife, but neither shall we shrink from it when our very existence as a free people is at stake.

We pledge to each other our voices, our hands, and our strength, in pursuit of a nation ruled not by billionaires and demagogues, but by the people, for the people, and with the people.

To this end, we stand united, and we shall not falter.

The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution enshrines citizenship by birthright, but a combination of a SCOTUS decision endorsing Trump's executive order that has led to snatch-squads dragging mostly Hispanic immigrants to prison without due process calls the Amendment's survival into question. This conversation with Damon Silvers, law professor and veteran of many Capitol Hill crises, looks at all the ramifications of SCOTUS' 6-3 decision in Trump v CASA and casts a cool eye over the prospects for snatch-squad fascism becoming a way of life in the US.  Like having a private tutorial for 34:38.
