The Constitution Study
Weekdays 4 PM ET
The American people, through ignorance and apathy, have lost their love for their rights and liberties. Our rights are trampled daily by governments, universities, the media, and businesses both large and small. Yet the vast majority of Americans not only bow to the pressure to relinquish their rights, they frequently ask for them to be taken. What are we to do?
Since 2014 Paul Engel has been helping everyday Americans read and study the Constitution of their country and teaching the rising generation to be free. In this program, Paul uses news and current events as a springboard to help explain the Constitution and encourage others to stand up for their rights, their children’s rights, and those of the nation.
The goal of this program is to help everyday people defend their rights by reading, studying, and understanding the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States of America. Author and speaker, Paul Engel has spent more than 20 years studying and teaching about both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution. That experience helps Paul explain difficult concepts in a way most people can understand. As one manager described, “Paul can take the most complex idea and explain it in a way my grandmother can understand.”
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Each year, the Supreme Court term ends with the month of June. That is when the court usually releases its most important and controversial opinions. It’s also when the court releases the largest number of opinions in the shortest amount of time. You can’t have this vast number of Supreme Court opinions released without dozens of “experts” and pundits often spouting crazy ideas…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Happy Independence Day! While the entire world has a Fourth of July, only in America is this Independence Day. While most Americas will celebrate our independence today, I think very few will consider how dependent they have become. Consider this line from the Declaration of Independence: “[A]ccordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Do you ever look around and wonder why things are the way they are? Is it just random chance, or is there a design behind the chaos in our world? I think the answer is yes. There is a design that the turmoil we are experiencing is being engineered to deliver us to someone else’s desired outcome. To discuss this topic, I have Dr. Marlene McMillian joining me to discuss her article…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How can you tell when a politician is lying? The answer, generally, is, “Their lips are moving!” I have used this joke as an example, not of the corruption of the political class but of the American citizen who continues to hire liars, cheats, and thieves to represent them. But what happens when we become so conditioned to lies that we not only accept them but reject the truth? In her book…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There are two main senses for the definition of the word “Institutionalized” in this context: “established as a common and accepted part of a system or culture” and “created and controlled by an established organization.” Government institutions were created as a part of our culture to do what we agreed was best done collectively. These institutions that are supposed…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Words matter. That is why I keep referring back to dictionaries and other documents to show what the words I’m using mean. It’s also why I refuse to submit to the false language that has become so much a part of Western society. Then I came across an article by Dr. Marlene McMillan, who put a name to what I’ve been seeing, “Social Engineering.” The manipulation…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Caveat emptor or buyer beware. These words are just as true for the news and media we consume as any product you may buy. This makes me wonder why so many Americans seem willing to listen to just about anyone who calls themselves an expert without checking their facts. I may be dating myself, but I remember family members reading through Consumer…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When he was running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, John Edwards repeatedly stated that there were two Americas, one for the rich and another for the poor. While there may be a kernel of truth to that statement, at its core, it was another hyperbolic class warfare trope designed to curry favor and votes. Today, it is quite obvious…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you ever disagreed with someone and questioned what was between their ears? I see it all the time, especially in the questions and comments I get from the radio show and my articles. I don’t mean people I simply disagree with, but where it seems basic logic and reason do not enter their consideration. Recently, someone pointed me to an excerpt of a letter from Friedrich…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I can’t say how many times I’ve heard people call for diversity. It sounds great, all different types of people living together peacefully. However, when I see what people call diversity, I’m reminded of a line from the original Star Trek. “Yeah, but I gotta be the unity.” In other words, diversity is often a synonym for uniformity, which reminds me of a story. When I was a child…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Do any of you remember the phrase “Stranger Danger!”? I’m a little old to have learned the rhyme in school, but I remember being taught by my parents things like don’t take candy from a stranger, don’t get in a car with a stranger, and always telling my parents where I was going to be. Of course, there were a few exceptions. I was told I could trust a police officer, and…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – So what makes people believe they have the moral justification to impose their will on others? Usually, it’s the certainty that they are right combined with the arrogance that they are smarter or more righteous than others. Sprinkle in access to a little bit of power, and wha la, you have tyranny…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Take for example, the Protecting the Right to Organize, or PRO Act. As its title suggests, it claims to protect the right of employees to organize. However, a quick look at the text of the bill again proves the adage, if you want to know what a bill will do, assume it is the opposite of its title…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – They say, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Recent news confirms that Washington, D.C., needs to be scrubbed down with bleach. From the Biden bribery scandal, the abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to spy on American citizens, and the FBI’s coverups, it’s beginning to sound like a line from the Wizard of Oz. “Bribery and spying and coverups, Oh My!” Now…
