Blunt Force Truth

On this episode of Blunt Force truth, Chuck and Mark are joined by Professor Adam Winkler as they continue their exploration of the United States Constitution. They take a balanced, deep dive to help Americans better understand the foundations of our country.

For this installment of our Constitutional series they discuss the first three Constitutional Amendments. They start off by discussing why the U.S. Constitution needed amendments right after it was written. Also, Professor Winkler explains the difference between federalist and anti-federalist.

They discuss the First Amendment of the Constitution, which is the Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition. Professor Winkler explains the importance of the First Amendment when it comes to speaking out against the government and creating a free marketplace for ideas. Chuck and Mark ask Professor Winkler how the First Amendment pertains to some recent free speech issues.

They move into covering the Second Amendment, which is the Right to Bear Arms. They discuss why a well regulated militia was important for the Founding Fathers and what they meant by that. Professor Winkler explains why the historical context is important to consider when looking at the Second Amendment and what the Founding Fathers used gun registrations for.

The finish up today's show by discussing the Third Amendment, which refers to quartering of soldiers. They move quickly through the Third Amendment since it is no longer relevant. Professor Winkler explains why quartering of the soldier was a concern for the Founding Fathers, but he also explains how the Supreme Court has never heard a Third Amendment case.

Chuck and Mark discuss the left's continued support for socialism and how they are now pushing for robots to replace humans in the workplace. They explain our nation's issue with those entering the workforce not having the necessary skills.

They continue by talking about how Democrats cover for each other and allow for crooked behavior in the government, while the Republicans apologize for false claims against them. Their conversation also covers the corruption of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats.

Also, they discuss the Democrats' unwillingness to accept the Mueller Report if it does not show Russian collusion, as well as their opening of new committees to investigate every aspect of President Trump's life.

They finish up by discussing some of the recent claims made by Democrats and how they are never held responsible for their unbacked claims. Chuck and Mark consider how the left doesn't care if a claim is true or not; they will act as if it is.
