THE CONSTITUTION STUDY

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Some people point to his 10-point plan to dismantle the deep state and his announcement of a Department of Government Efficiency as signs of a tidal wave of change, but will Congress calm the waters of change? What about the U.S. relations with the U.N.? Will we see a resurgence of national sovereignty or compliance with international pressure?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Trump listed a 10-point plan to dismantle the deep state. Is that constitutional? Is it something he can do on his own? Will he need the assistance of Congress? And just how will Congress, the courts, and the American people react to his plans? What about other executive agencies? Based on research I did for my book, 9 out of 10 executive agencies...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – "Woke" represents ideas that can’t thrive independently, demanding imposition on society. As the pushback grows post-election, I question if this shift toward liberty and rights is genuine or a passing trend. From challenges to the transgender agenda to debates on illegal immigration, America seems torn between preserving freedom and clinging to political correctness.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – For years, we've heard about election deniers and insurrectionists, yet after 2024, we see blame shifted onto everyone but Kamala Harris for her loss. Bureaucratic fear grows, with retirements, resistance to Trump’s agenda, and calls for Justice Sotomayor's resignation. Replacing the Constitution with deep state control feels less like governance and more like a coup.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We live in a time where sore losers—and even sore winners—seem all too common. Overprotection has led to people who can't handle defeat or victory gracefully, from participation trophies to election disputes. The best way to respond? Show them the respect they truly deserve: none. Let's stop enabling this culture of entitlement and denial.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – If we look at what Donald Trump has pledged to do, I hope we begin to realize that he cannot fulfill much of his agenda alone. He needs Congress to pass the tariffs and tax relief he is proposing. While Mr. Trump will have influence over Congress, remember that under his last administration, many in his own executive agencies worked against his agenda...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Lest we, the American people, exercise our duty to hire representatives in government, men, and women, who will exercise our power in our name. The only reason we can do that is because veterans have for years sacrificed to defend the Constitution of the United States. How many Americans didn’t vote or only voted for the top couple of lines on the ballot?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – “There ought to be a law!” We’ve all heard that, and there are thousands of laws on the books. But laws against murder haven’t stopped murder; neither have laws against assault, theft, and fraud. So, if laws don’t stop evil, what good are they? Laws define crimes and their punishments, but it is the enforcement of those laws that matters. That goes for statutory laws as...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Remember when presidential elections didn’t heat up until Labor Day and wrapped up on Election Night? Today, it feels like election outcomes drag on, with lingering controversies and challenges. Addressing these issues openly strengthens trust in the process. How can we improve if we’re unwilling to admit mistakes? Learning from past elections is crucial for progress.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Eighty percent of Americans believe words can hurt, but isn’t that view a bit childish? While politicians react to simple jokes and sarcasm as if they’re physical blows, it reflects our own societal immaturity. We can't expect leaders to grow up until we do. Perhaps it’s time for Americans to put away such childish sensitivities.
