1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500
Let's get into spoon or a 
little, what are some of the era

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,900
big takeaways from Spooner's 
work. 

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,100
So recently I was on a podcast 
with Carrie welder. 

4
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:15,400
She's a pretty good, Antiochus, 
libertarian YouTuber. 

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,000
I had her on my show and she 
introduced me to some works of 

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,100
Spooner and I had I had studied 
a little bit with with fee. 

7
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:26,700
I think for one hour to climb. 
I have cited like a quote from 

8
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:31,800
Spooner, but it really opened my
eyes to the fallacy of 

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,900
constitutionalism because I've 
always said that was like more 

10
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:39,200
conservative or Batarian with 
like the last three or four 

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,100
years. 
I've always been like. 

12
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,400
Oh, yeah. 
I'm a constitutionalist. 

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,800
You know, I, you know, I like 
the Constitution, the 

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,800
Constitution protects our rights
and then ring splitter made me 

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,500
realize that it doesn't like at 
all like not even a little bit. 

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,200
It should you know, I still 
think it's a good document. 

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,600
I'm not I'm not like I'm not 
trashing the Constitution, but 

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,400
I'm trashing the power that 
people think it has because it 

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,900
really doesn't have much. 
I mean, since this country since

20
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:08,000
his country's Inception. 
The government has walked all 

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,200
over the Constitution. 
So reading the spinner. 

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,600
I don't know if I'm ever gonna 
become like an 

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,700
anarcho-capitalist or an 
anarchist or something, but it 

24
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,800
definitely put me into that 
direction. 

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Because I think one of his main 
philosophies was just that The 

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,400
Constitution basically either 
cants protect our rights or it 

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,900
created US government that 
can't. 

28
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,600
And I'm just I'm a little bit 
disenchanted with it lately. 

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,300
But that's again, that's not to 
say that. 

30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:38,400
I hate it. 
I wish it was more powerful but 

31
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,500
it's just not it's difficult 
when you have people trying to 

32
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:46,000
abide by a document and if they 
do a really bad job, you can't 

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,400
opt out of funding them. 
I mean imagine if like 

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
restaurants got your money, 
whether they brought the food to

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,700
the table. 
Well, or they didn't. 

36
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:57,700
Well that's going to attract the
most evil people to work at the 

37
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,100
restaurant over time and you're 
never going to get the food and 

38
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:02,600
they're always going to want 
more money. 

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,100
So it does visited, or says 
you're going to get your Foods. 

40
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:07,200
You're like, oh my God, the sign
on the door says, I'm gonna get 

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,900
my foot. 
Oh my God, and you can scream 

42
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:12,000
without that all you want, but 
at the side of the door isn't 

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,200
holding these people accountable
and it's kind of a useless sign.

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,500
So I like the rule on the side 
of the door. 

45
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,300
I really enjoy all the 
Amendments. 

46
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,800
I enjoy the first amendment. 
I enjoyed the second. 

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,300
I met, it's Eight, it was 
written by a genius. 

48
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:26,000
As I'm so grateful that they 
wrote that because we have a 

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,800
basis for our large part of our 
ideology, as people who live in 

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200
more conservative or 
libertarian, or even an artist, 

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,100
but what does it actually? 
Do? 

52
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,100
Not much. 
And I know like that the Supreme

53
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:41,100
Court, you know, things are 
decided based on the 

54
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:46,900
Constitution but not as like not
nearly as as many things, not as

55
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,200
many things in there, should be.
I mean, I feel like you're so 

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,400
many unconstitutional laws these
days and nobody really talks 

57
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,700
about Until it comes to like Roe
v-- Wade or or whatever. 

58
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,200
They think it comes to the 
hot-button issues. 

59
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,600
But so many little things that 
are just kind of fly Under The 

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,700
Radar, really pissed me off.
