1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Congress shall make no law. YadA, YadA, YadA. It's one

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: more thing.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Joe just YadA, YadA YadA. James Madison,

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Fourteenth Amendment during the show, did you just YadA YadA YadA,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights. We're talking about the fourteenth Amendment

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: and the question of birthright citizenship, which is a hot

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: conversational topic these days and actually really interesting. And I

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: mentioned that the fourteenth Amendment is actually five paragraphs long

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: and it would take a long time to read to you.

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: The first part is about all persons born or naturalized, YadA, YadA, YadA,

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: the birthright thing. Second part is representatives shall be apportioned

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: among the several states according to their respective numbers. Blah

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: blah blah.

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: The next it's about streaming contracts, which is really weird.

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: Right exactly, Yep, you gotta be able to cancel them.

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: Third one is about senators and congress people who or

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: may not have been involved in an insurrection or rebellion.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Remember that one came up, you know, after January sixth

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: uh and a couple more paragraphs. Nobody knows, but I

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: was looking at the amendments and it would appear that

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: in a close race. The shortest amendment is the eighth Amendment.

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Excessive bails shall not be required, nor excessive finds imposed,

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: nor cruel and unusual punishments.

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: Inflicted cruel or unusual cruel end on us and unusual.

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Right, And you know my theory, then one of the

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: cruel and unusual. Right. If it's merely cruel, but you

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: do it a lot, that's fine. And if you know,

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: a beating from a clown is certainly unusual, but it's

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: no more cruel than any other sort of beating. Clown

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: beatings would be approved in the court of Joe Getty's justice.

32
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: So you're on somebody over with a car. People get

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: hit by cars all the time. There's nothing unusual about that.

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Now, it's cruel, unspeakably cruel, but not unusual. I think

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: we're missing a loophole here, folks. But I think everybody

36
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: knows the Oh my god, I almost said one of

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: the stupidest things things I've ever said. I think everybody

38
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: knows what's in the Bill of Rights. No, obviously most

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: people don't. You should, but you don't, which is why

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: you end up quartering troops, You jackasses. Study history.

41
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: I just learned the other day James Madison was really

42
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: against the Bill of Rights, really thought it was a terrible,

43
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: terrible idea. But then when the vault went against him,

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: he like, we should do more often now decided Okay,

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: well that's been decided. Now I'm going to argue what

46
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: they ought to be because it's going to happen, even

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: though I didn't want it to happen in the first place.

48
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: And indeed he brought it to the floor of the

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: House immediately as he said he would.

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: The reason he didn't like the Bill Rights is he

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: is afraid that now that makes it seem like outside

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: of these ten things, everything else the government can do.

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: That was his concern.

54
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think history is proved that he was

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: wrong as real statesman. And yeah, oh yeah, tiny, tiny lady.

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: And I've never seen a smaller founding father.

57
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: Oh boy, not a long hitter, James Madison. So everybody

58
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: knows freedom of religion, press expression, the first right to

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: bear arms, quartering of soldiers, that's the third.

60
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: I don't have to work, so man, when I get home,

61
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: I got some news for those guys.

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Get out of my house. Can I get my stuff

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: at least, and I'll ship it to you. Search and seizure,

64
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: trial and punishment, compensation for takings. That's the Fifth Amendment.

65
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the part about how you don't have to

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: testify against yourself, but that's actually one of many things

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: mentioned in the Fifth Amendment.

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: I didn't know that I should read that over.

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten it. It's one of those things. I had

70
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: to memorize it at one point. But here's the entirety

71
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Amendment. I thought this was interesting. No

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: person shall be held to answer for a capital or

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of

74
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land

75
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: or naval forces, or in the militia when in actual

76
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: service in time of war public danger. Nor shall any

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: person be subject, for the same offense to be twice

78
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: put in jeopardy of life or limb double jeopardy straight

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: out of the Fifth Amendment. Nor shall be compelled, in

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: any criminal case, to be a witness against himself.

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: That's the wheel of fortune. After the jeopardy portion. It's

82
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: the wheel of fortune portion correct.

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due

84
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: process of law, that's where that very famous phrase let

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: comes from due process. Nor shall private property be taken

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: for public use without just compensation, which there's a lot

87
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: to the fifth Amen, we aren't always good at where's

88
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: the thing where you can't testify against your husband or

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: wife or you don't have to?

90
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: Is that in the Bill of right?

91
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: No, somewhere, Yeah, that's just in case law. I don't.

92
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: I wish I knew.

93
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: But why can't you testify against your husband or wife?

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: There are no other relationships like that you can justify?

95
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Oh you can't.

96
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: You can, but just can't be required.

97
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: But how come you in some situation but you can.

98
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: Be required to testify against your kids or your kids

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: against you, but not husband and wife.

100
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: I was just talking to my law student daughter about

101
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: this the other day, and I don't remember exactly.

102
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: Because you and Judy's big Ponzi scheme and you're worried about.

103
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I tell you what. The second the cops

104
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: are here, I go states she was running it. She

105
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: made me do it right under the bus and Jody, honey,

106
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I hope you're comfortable under there. Oh let's see. So

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: I think the longest of the amendments I can find

108
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: is uh is probably the twelfth about choosing the president

109
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: vice president. They had to clarify how that was going

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: to work. But man, they get long. The fourteenth is long,

111
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: five paragraphs long. Liquor pastards, which boo what number is

112
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: that you suck? That's the eighteenth And did you say

113
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: it is longer?

114
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: Is it short? No more booze? Parties jackasses? That's what

115
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: that one's called.

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's long and boring, just like a world

117
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: without alcohol. Another are three shortish?

118
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: And then how soon after that one is the one

119
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: that says parties back on.

120
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: The twenty first? God bless it. Actually the eighteenth was

121
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: ratified in nineteen nineteen and it was repealed in nineteen

122
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: thirty three.

123
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: Wow, I always forget how long that period was.

124
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: Of no favorite. Some of my favorite writings by H. L.

125
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Menken were written during Prohibition. What he would describe how

126
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: congress people and senators Washington, DC, you could get a

127
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: drink practically as easy as you can right now. It

128
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: was everywhere because the senators were never going to hold

129
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: themselves to this same standards. They were just doing it

130
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: because it was politically popular. It was a popular movement

131
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: among women when women first got the right to vote,

132
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: because so many of their husbands would come home hammerre

133
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: drunk and either be useless or violent, or or have

134
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: spent all the money at the bar.

135
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: Your people, Katie to go a wear our party.

136
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because of what your people put us through every

137
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: day by being drunk a holes.

138
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if your people weren't all day long, maybe

139
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't need a drink.

140
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: Well, if you would do some things around the house,

141
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: maybe we wouldn't all the time.

142
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: Oh my God, give me the bottle. Where's the bottle?

143
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: I think that was the Lightning Boardwalk Empire. If you

144
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: never watched that series with Steve Buscemi, really great portrayal

145
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: of those years.

146
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Nineteenth Amendment women's suffrages I was ratified in nineteen twenty.

147
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Man need a due over on that one.

148
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, So women's voting and prohibition came up at the

149
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: same time, although admittedly liquor was abolished just before the

150
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: year before women got the right to vote.

151
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: One of my favorite places, near the Radio Ranch in

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: San Francisco was an old prohibition bar, and the owner

153
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: took us down into their their storage room one day,

154
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: and all of the old tunnel doors were all welded

155
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: shut because they used to move alcohol underneath San Francisco

156
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: in this tunnel system.

157
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: But it was really cool.

158
