YOU WERE LIED TO - "THERE IS NO AMERICAN RIGHT TO PROTEST" or RESIST THE GOVERNMENT. - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnvTGtAWoC8 Transcript: (00:00) I think that it's time for you and I to have a real conversation about protesting in America. What it means. I want to start this class off tonight by teaching you the difference in the Constitution and chaos. Did you know what you've been taught all your life and what I've been taught is a lie? The lie is this. (00:30) that there is freedom to protest in America. That's a lie. There is no freedom to protest in America. Now, don't have a knee-jerk reaction. Sit down, be a good student, and wait till the end of the class before you draw a conclusion. Okay? There is no right in the Bill of Rights to protest. (01:05) I know, blew my mind as well. Now, I'm not talking about a man sitting on a sidewalk holding a sign. I'm talking about what protest has become in America. organized disruption, coercion, and intimidation. There is no civil right that protects intimidation or fear or coercion or interference. Where we got this from is from our fathers. (01:46) So, I want you to do this right now. pull out your little pocket constitution and find where you as a citizen have a right to protest. I'll wait. Let me read to you what's actually in the Constitution. The actual words, not what your sociology professor told you, not what CNN claims, but the actual text. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peacefully to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grieviances. That's it. (02:38) You as an American citizen have a right to peacefully assemble. And your government must protect you when you're peacefully assembled. They cannot harm you. They cannot stop you. You have a right to gather some of your little quilting sisters together and y'all go hold signs on a sidewalk. (03:06) Public property, not private property. public. You have a right to stand there peacefully and gather together and let your signs petition your cause to the government. I'd like for you to read that again. You have a right to peacefully assemble, not protest, not demonstrate, not express your rage in the streets, but to peacefully assemble. (03:38) Now, words matter, my friends. The founders chose their words with surgical precision. They never said the right of the people to protest because they didn't mean protest. They meant exactly what they wrote because protest is an action word. peacefully assembled is not the word protest originally years ago, decades ago, centuries ago came from the Latin word protestari which simply mean to testify. (04:21) So you have a right to testify with your sign. But how many of you know that words change their meanings over time? And this is where the courts come in, originalist jurists that have to go back to the thinking of the writer and find what that word meant when it was written. And when protest was written centuries ago, it did not mean then what it meant today. (04:54) Because protest no longer means testimony. It now means acrimony, bitterness, hostility, rage, confrontation. In modern usage, protest is an action against the government. It's a verb, something you do. And what do people do when they protest? Listen, this is not what people think of when they think of a protest. (05:25) This is my little sign. I'm peacefully assembled, petitioning my government. That's not what people think of. They think of screaming in a bullhorn like an idiot, blocking traffic, getting in your face, making you uncomfortable, disturbing your peace, intimidating you, harassing you, threatening you. We like a bunch of idiots have always thought we had a right to do that. (05:59) That is how the word protest is used in our world today. Not in some sanitized dictionary, but right now in America, the right to protest means the right to get in your government's face, get loud and proud, and anybody that walks by, scare the life out of them. And we have a right. See, the Constitution says we have a right to protest our government. (06:31) Think about the word peaceful or peaceable in your mind. Everybody with me? I want my whole class to come up with a scene of peace. Just come up with that in your mind. Peaceable assembly. That looks like going to church. You have a right to go to church and peaceibly assemble. What does peaceable look like? What does it sound like to you? Fair question. (06:57) What does peaceable sound like to you? What does it look like? Is it screaming? Is it bullhorns outside your hotel or your church? Is it blocking ambulances on freeways? Is it surrounding federal agents and throwing bottles? Is it chanting no sleep for ice while pounding drums throughout the night? Is that peaceable assembly? No, that's not peaceable. (07:29) That's not assembly. That's chaos. And chaos is not protected in your Bill of Rights. The founders never meant to protect chaos. And that's what we're watching right now in America. Over a thousand so-called protesters swept across America this past weekend. In Minneapolis, demonstrators damaged property, vandalized hotels, and had to be dispersed with flashbangs because they refused to leave. (08:06) In Los Angeles last June, protesters threw rocks, cement, Molotov cocktails at federal agents. The National Guard had to be deployed. Marines were activated. In cities across our country, Chicago, Boston, Pasadena, Minneapolis, organized groups are tracking ICE agents to their hotels, conducting no sleep campaigns, blasting noises, using bullhorns, depriving officers of peaceable rest. (08:38) And what does the media call this? What do the left and even the right call it? Their right to protest. Except they don't have that right. They're not protected in that status. Let me ask you something. If I showed up outside of your home at 2:00 in the morning with a bullhorn and a drum circle, if I surrounded your car and would not let you leave, if I threw objects at your vehicle, would you call that peaceful assembly or would you call the police? Here's the con that's been played on us by the left and the right. The left has (09:20) successfully blurred the line between two completely different things. Peaceful assembly, your constitutional right together quietly, lawfully hold a sign, make your voice heard through legal channels is protected all day long. But protest an action designed to disrupt, disturb the peace, coercse, intimidate, and force compliance through chaos. (09:55) The con the constitution only protects one of those, peaceful assembly, not protest. You have the right to stand. You have the right to hold a sign. You have the right to petition your government quietly, lawfully, without trampling on the peace of anyone else. But the moment it turns loud and destructive, coercive, threatening, it stops being protected as one of your rights and it becomes lawlessness. (10:30) Now, let me answer the elephant in the room because I know some of my great MAGA men are watching me and you're already upset because bless God, I got a right to overthrow the government. Okay, let me deal with that. Okay. What about the Boston Tea Party? I'm glad you asked because we need to talk about that. Okay. (10:56) What about the founding fathers? They protested the Boston Tea Party wasn't peaceful. Professor Toto, checkmate. We got you. Sit back down. Unbut your buckle on your belt for me. The Boston Tea Party was not protected. It wasn't constitutional. There wasn't a constitution at that time and it was not legal. It was war. Straight up war is what it was. (11:32) When the Sons of Liberty dumped 342 chest of tea in the Boston Harbor on December the 16th, they were not exercising the right to protest. They were committing an act of treason against the British crown. And they knew it. That's why they wore disguises. They hid their identities. Why? because if caught, they would be executed. (11:59) Samuel Adams did not run to the British authorities afterwards and say, "You can't arrest us. We were peacefully protesting." No, he knew exactly what they had done was not legal. They had declared war. Now, here's the truth that nobody wants to hear. As citizens of this nation, you and I have the right to go to war with our government. (12:23) Oh yes, we have the right to replace our government. It's happened all through history. It's happened right here in America. But here's what the left and many of you don't understand or don't want to understand. You can go to war with your government, but you cannot go to war with government protection. Got it? That sealed the deal. (12:50) See, you can go and fight against our government and protest. Yes, you can protest. You just don't have the right to be protected by our government when you attack our So, if you want to declare war on our government, great. Make sure you've got more guns than they do. Be prepared for the consequences. We stand against our government. (13:17) Make sure when you stand, you've counted the cost because you don't get to make war with the government and be protected by the government. You understand? When you take up arms, which is what you're doing, when you're using vehicles as weapons, when you take up arms against your government, when you engage in destruction, intimidation, coercion, when you cross the line from citizen to combatant through violence, through organized resistance, through deliberate interference with lawful government operation, you are then declaring (13:58) herself an enemy of the government. And enemies do not get constitutional protection. They get return fire. Bam. It's what happened few days ago to a mother of three. She crossed the line of peaceful assembly and decided to ram a vehicle into our government. She found out the cost of that. We got to get out of this mindset that we're ungovernable. (14:36) Ladies and gentlemen, you are a citizen with a sworn allegiance to the government of the United States of America. And as long as you abide by that allegiance, you will be protected by that government. The moment you go beyond what you're protected with is the moment return fire is coming because you have declared war on our nation. (15:06) The moment you assaulted a police officer. The moment you made another citizen uncomfortable and disturbed their peace. The moment you cross the line from sanity to animalism, you lost your protection. And soon you will find out what that means. That's them crickets I'm hearing. It's what happens when you tell people the truth. Think about it. (15:34) King George understood this. When the colonist, our forefathers, decided to resist, listen to me and everybody listen carefully. I don't know where you got the idea that you have the right to resist our government. No, nobody else will tell you, but I'll have to. No one has the right to resist the government. The Bible tells us in the last days, men would despise human government. (16:03) They hate it in the church. That's why nobody wants a pastor or a bishop or an apostle or a prophet or a teacher. We hate government. We don't want it in America anymore. That's the day we're living in. You listen to me. The moment you resist government, the Bible said the king bears the sword for a reason. (16:27) And the moment you push against that sword, you are going to feel the consequences of it. You don't have a right to resist your government. You have a right to peacefully assemble and petition your government. When the colonists did it, they took direct action against their government. There is nobody watching me. (16:48) I don't care how many guns you got in your house or all your little militia friends down at the shooting club, how many guns y'all got. You ain't got what it takes to resist your government. And until you do, maybe you can go over to Russia and talk them into backing you up. BUT UNTIL SUCH A TIME, you better shut up, sit down, and say, "Yes, sir. (17:12) " Cuz you're not who you think you are. You're a citizen, and you made a vow to defend this government, to obey it, to surrender to it, and to be part of it. So the young lady that was killed in Minnesota, totally her fault. And anyone that doesn't have the half of a brain to see that, move somewhere else because you're a danger to our society. (17:43) We don't hate government here. We respect it as long as it's legitimate and we stand behind it. And if you're a Christian, the Bible demands you to obey your government. Unless their laws go against the law of God, then we obey God rather than man. But until then, the law that says don't go out and kill people, that's not against the law of God. (18:11) Don't intimidate people, that's not AGAINST THE LAW OF GOD, so we obey those laws. King George, when he found out they resisted him. He didn't say, "Well, they've got the right to protest. Go let them dump the tea. They just making their voice heard. It's their first amendment right. They were subjects of the crown. You and I are subjects of the American government. (18:40) You don't want to hear it because you got an animal that lives in you. The moment our forefathers stepped outside of lawful petition is and when they destroyed the king's property, the moment they resisted, they became rebels. King George responded accordingly. It was called the Boston Massacre. See how history repeats itself? We had a Minnesota massacre. (19:07) Do you see it? History repeats itself. The moment you resist government, King George didn't care that they were citizens. You listen to me. When you are no longer a citizen is when you become unlawful. At that moment, you come under the law. You come under the law when you break the law. Same way in the house of God. You don't come under the law until you break it. (19:35) And then you come under the consequences of that law. But if you'll be a good citizen of the kingdom of God, you'll never have to worry about the law because you'll be in obedience to it. Amen. King George said they've declared war. Kill them all. Here's the hard truth that my fellow Americans need to hear. You need to submit yourself. Oh yes. (19:58) You need to sit down somewhere and go back to being a good citizen because I promise you if you rise up against American government, you're going to face American heat and you lose all your protections from a bullet. The moment you turn into an animal, when you block federal agents from doing their job, you have stood up against the American government, when you surround vehicles and prevent movement, when you throw rocks at law enforcement, when you organize campaigns to deprive officers of sleep, when you use intimidation to (20:38) resist lawful government action, you're not peacefully assembling. You're not exercising constitutional rights. You're encouraging insurrection. You're encouraging those things. You're declaring war on your own government. And war comes with consequences. Yes, you can go to war with your government. Yes, you can replace them. (21:02) You just better have what it takes to do it. The founders understood this. They lived it. They signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well they were no longer citizens of the crown. They no longer had the protections of the crown. They were now at war with the crown. And you know what? They won that bet. (21:21) But if they would have lost, mine and your story would be the story of slaves. Benjamin Franklin famously said, "We must all hang together or we most assuredly shall all hang separately." Listen to what he said. He said, "We must all hang together or else we'll all hang separately." They didn't have the delusion that their protest was constitutionally protected. (21:57) They knew they were risking everything. What about January the 6? So, I might as well deal with January the 6 while we're at it. I'm going to tell you something personal. I was there. I woke up early that cold January morning, January the 6 happened because of this voice you're listening to. First in the nation to stir that flame was me, Professor Toto. I was there. (22:30) I stood that day with hundreds of thousands of Americans who had gathered peaceibly. All morning long we stood together singing patriotic songs, waving flags, listening to our president peaceibly. I stood next to families with children marching along peaceably. We were addressing our government about legitimate grievances. (23:01) We were not there to overthrow a democracy or a republic. We were not there to storm anything. We were there because the process of law in an election had been violated. Rules for vote counting had been changed by governors, secretaries of state, not by the legislature as the constitution required. Mailin ballots were altered. (23:25) Signature verification standards were abandoned. and we had every right to peaceibly assemble and petition our government. That is exactly what the First Amendment protects and that's exactly what we did. But here's what the media will never tell you. The vast majority of us never stepped foot on the Capitol ground. (23:54) The overwhelming majority of us never got anywhere near the Capitol. We assembled. We listened to speeches. We stood in the cold. We exercised our constitutional right to peacefully assemble. And then a very, very small minority decided to do something else. They decided to attack the Capitol. (24:22) They decided to fight with the police. They decided to cross the line from peaceful assembly into something else entirely. And what happened to them? Grave consequences. But do you know what did not happen to hundreds of thousands? There were no consequences. The government protected their right to peacefully assemble. (24:44) And that's how it's supposed to work. The constitution works. Peaceful assembly is protected. attack on government has consequences. So here's my question to the left. If January 6 proves that protests are not protected when they turn violent, if those that attack the capital deserved prosecution, then why don't those same rules apply to your mob? Why do ICE protesters get to throw cocktails, call it free speech? Why does Antifa get to burn buildings and claim constitutional protection? You can't have it both ways. Either violence (25:25) has consequences or it does not. Today's protesters, they want it both ways while hiding behind their rights and cry first amendment. Let me tell you what you have the right to do. Gather peacefully. Hold a sign. Petition your government. Write letters to your representatives. Vote for candidates that share your values. (25:51) Speak your mind without government interference. Assemble with others that share your concerns. You don't have a right to block traffic, surround vehicles, intimidate, harass individuals, deprive others of sleep, throw objects at law enforcement, destroy property, intimidate people. I've got personal experience with this. (26:13) Lean in a little closer. I want to tell you a story. I want to tell you how bad I believed the lie that we have a right to protest. There's a federal law that I guarantee you don't know about because I didn't know about it. Two years ago, protesters begin to show up at our church. I cannot describe to you what it was like, but we have video saved. (26:44) It was So intimidating to be screamed at on bullhorns while you're trying to walk into a place of worship. While you're trying to worship God, you have people harassing, calling your names out and putting flyers on the windows of cars while people are trying to bring their children into church being screamed at. (27:09) We have all the video. And I had gone to the police the day before to make them aware because we had heard they were coming. They'd come many times. I went to the police and I said, "Listen, I know it's their right to protest and nothing you can do." The captain said, "That's right. You know, unless they come on the private property, which that's trespassing, which they did that by the way, but we didn't report it. (27:38) " He said, "But there's nothing we can do." I said, "Yes, sir. That's their right to protest. I'm saddened that our local police department did not know the law, federal law, and neither did I. Because if I would have known it, I could have shown it to the police officer and protected our people that suffered children that were traumatized literally. (28:02) And that's in their sworn affidavit that we have filed with the courts. I thought that they had a right to do that, to harass us, intimidate us, literally coersse us, and interfere with our going into worship. But then I ran across a law and I know it was Yahweh that showed it to me, but it's called the Face Act, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act 18, US Code 248. (28:36) The Lord showed me this law just days ago. I had no idea that it existed. The police didn't know. Now, originally, this law was created to protect girls going in for abortion. You are not allowed to scream. You're not allowed to get on a bullhorn. You're not allowed to call out to the people walking in. (29:02) You're not allowed to intimidate them or try to interfere with what they're doing. I didn't realize that inside of that act, it included one other place, houses of worship. Let me read the law to you. There might be some of you that want to listen real close for what's coming. It says, "Whoever by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction intimidates or interferes or attempts to intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a house of religious worship shall be subject to federal criminal (30:04) penalties. Oh yes, we've got the videos. But on that day, I just thought it was their right to protest. I watched people in my church literally in tears. Elderly people in my church being screamed at with a bullhorn. Their names being called out. Coercion, intimidation, interfering, their first amendment right to worship. (30:29) Oh, it's fixing to get good around here. But they are subject to civil liability which is in the works but criminal penalties which is in the works because the moment now as long as you were standing there with a sign you're okay. But the moment you cross over in the face act to intimidation, interference, obstruction of worship, going into a house of worship, that's no longer protected by the government. (31:07) According to the Face Act, you cannot do anything that would cause someone to even have to think twice about getting out of their car and going into worship. We have sworn testimony of people that were scared to get out of their cars. You've triggered federal law. When you show up with bullhorns, you're no longer protected. (31:32) You're no longer peacefully assembled. screaming at members as they enter and screaming uh at people, intimidating whole families, harassing worshippers, putting flowers on their You have violated the face act, it was created to prove that no one has a right to do that. Now, I'm just a simple professor. If I were anyone that had acted in such a way, if I had shown up at a house of worship with a bullhorn, if I had screamed at congregants, if I'd stepped onto church property to intimidate members, if I had placed materials on (32:10) vehicles in church parking lots, I might be feeling a little because there's no statute of limitations there. That's a federal law. And if you go read the record on the success rate of the FACE act, about 98%. Just last year, the Department of Justice filed a Face Act lawsuit against protesters who disrupted a synagogue in New Jersey. (32:41) And the thing about our church, we're considered Israelites, so we also fall under anti-semitic protection. First Liberty Institute filed a lawsuit against activists who stood outside the church in California with bullhorns and every one of them woke up to the consequences. Why? Because there is no right to protest in America. No right at all is being threatened. (33:10) When citizens are being harassed, you're now an enemy of the state. When law enforcement in our local town is trained to believe there's a right to protest, they fail to protect the rights that are actually guaranteed. The only one that has a right is the right of us that we're assembling to worship in peaceful assembly. Our rights were violated. (33:34) And when you're walking by a protest and they're calling out to you, intimidating you, they're violating your right of peaceful assembly. Every one of you have a right to be free from intimidation and harassment, especially at a place of religious worship, which is federal law. So, what happens when police stand by and allow federal law to be violated on their watch? What happens when they're warned in advance and were present on the scene and did nothing? It's called negligence, failure to protect, a deliberate indifference to (34:10) constitutional rights. And listen, I'm telling every one of you tonight, if you think you've got a right to protest, you do not. A free nation survives on peace. Not performative rage, not organized chaos, but peace. The First Amendment guarantees you your right to make your voice heard through speech, the press, peaceful assembly, and petitioning your government. (34:39) But it does not guarantee your right to shut down society until you get your way. It does not protect intimidation or shield you from destruction. It does not cover chaos dressed up as protest. The Constitution is a magnificent document. The Constitution versus chaos. It doesn't require a government to sit idly by while organized mobs engage in protest. (35:07) It doesn't demand that law enforcement allow themselves to be surrounded, harassed, attacked, and deprived of sleep. It doesn't protect lawlessness. So the next time you see a screaming mob blocking a street, surrounding a federal agent, throwing bottles, and the media calls it a protest, remember that word does not appear in your constitution. (35:29) Peaceful assembly does. And what you're watching is not peaceful. It's not assembly. It's war. and it has consequences. Thank you tonight. I hope I've educated you just a little bit more. And don't go away. I'll be right back with a little bit of afterglow right after I play you one of the latest songs that I've written. (35:51) >> You can't find it in a bottle. You can't find it in a P. The joy I found I found on Calvaries. You can't find it in a club or a honky tonk bar. You'll only find it on your knees. Turn back home down that long road where you ro the father is away. Come back home. Be baptized in his name. You'll only fail down a broken trail. (36:31) You'll search high and low. You'll wonder and wrong. But at the end of the day, find the road that leads home. Turn back home. From that long road where you roam, the father is away. Be baptized in his name. Never more. Return back home from that long road where you roam. The father is way. Be baptized in his
