Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs

Senator Josh Hawley questioned an OB/GYN doctor about if men can get pregnant, and her responses were more than ideological... they were spiritual and cultural poison.  Renee Good was a trained activist, but did the ICE agent who shot her have the legal right to shoot her?  Did he even have the constitutional authority to be in Minneapolis in the first place?  Douglas V. Gibbs, Mr. Constitution, explains.

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: Year End Special - Douglas V. Gibbs, in this episode, goes through the year month by month discussing the stories that rocked America in 2025.

An ICE Protester Shot in Minneapolis amps up calls by Minnesota leaders for ICE to leave.  Are those demands constitutional?  We the People means Unity under the Rule of Law.  And... Mamdani's socialism is a cancer in America.

Fiat currency is the primary cause of inflation but so is Supply and Demand added to the cost of doing business - and as prices stabilize nationally, California is not seeing the same kind of relief.  JBS Beef closing their plant in Riverside is a sign of what California is doing wrong, and what the trend of industries is when it comes to seeking cost-effective efficiency.  In California, the politicians have drawn up a new redistricting map, and Mr. Constitution believes it may backfire on the Democrats.  And Christmas is about one thing: The Birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ.  Douglas V. Gibbs discusses the meaning of Christmas and tells a little about the history of Christmas going back to the American Colonies.

Mr. Constitution discusses Religious Freedom, Laissez Faire Economics, The supposed independency of Federal Agencies, Bari Weiss at CBS, the Saxon and Christian Foundation of the American System, and Walz's Somali Community Allegations of Fraud.

The Democrats have been attempting to shape perception by insinuating that President Trump may be implicated as knowing about Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking operations in the Epstein Files, and the delay in releasing them was proof that the Republicans were trying to protect Trump. So, the GOP turned the tables on the Democrats by passing a bill calling for the release of the files and it was signed by President Trump. Does this prove that the Democratic narrative regarding the Epstein Files is a hoax? Then, Mr. Constitution discusses the importance of Constitutional Sheriffs, and how they may apply in the current political environment.

Did government shutdowns plague early America?  What about during our first century?  Government shutdowns are a modern construct, and the problem goes deeper than mere ideological differences.  BBC got caught splicing together footage to make President Trump look like he was inciting violence.  High ranking executives have resigned, and the rest of the leftist media is on alert.  Fake News is real, and BBC confirmed it.  Israel's right to exist is challenged by accusations of Zionist Imperialism, a false accusation that stems from a deeper anti-Israel sentiment that reveals the whole anti-Zionism argument is based on untrue ideas.  It's a hoax.  Mr. Constitution explains.

 Is America headed into a Red/Green Alliance direction?  Has communism and Islamism finally gained a foothold of power in the United States?  What do we mean when we say left versus right or that judges can interpret the Constitution?  Isn't the rhetorical use of language a part of the problem?  The Democrats and their leftist allies are not gaining ground.  They can't win in the arena of ideas.  Violence is all they have remaining.

J.D. Vance spoke to the University of Mississippi Turning Point USA event earlier this week and one of the questions asked about the military being used in Washington DC and other American Cities.  Vice President Vance failed to provide an important constitutional distinction that would have corrected the whole premise: The military is not being used by President Trump in U.S. Cities.  The militia is.  And, Mr. Constitution explains the Power of God's Word and how it influenced our Founding Fathers... and how it applies in today's modern political climate.  "Be doers of the Word," explains Mr. Constitution, echoing language from the Book of James.

An NBA coach and a player have been arrested for their connection to mafia-connected gambling activities, Border Czar Tom Homan has confronted the bribery allegation against him, Arizona's election winner Grijalva is still waiting to be seated in Congress as Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to administer the oath of office due to the government shutdown with no historical precedent to support his decision, and John Bolton's judge for his case turns out to be an anti-Trump Deep State judge with a history of unconstitutional rulings and ideological bias against Trump and his supporters.

The Supreme Court heard arguments regarding Louisiana v. Callais, and the upcoming ruling could change redistricting, moving it away from racially motivated maps - a move that would be in line with the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.  The ruling, combined with new election laws, deportation of illegal aliens and the fact that Dominion Voting Systems has been bought by a Conservative Republican may have a huge impact on the mid-term elections in 2026.  Meanwhile, the Democrats continue to shoot themselves in the foot with things like ABC's fake Medicaid report, to new information about January 6, to the government shutdown...2026 is not looking good for the Democrats.  Despite their defeats in America, the global leftist push for a worldwide all digital surveillance state is progressing in places like Vietnam, Britain, Germany, Greece, Canada and more.  But, the world did take a pause, and even his staunchest opponents had to take note when Donald Trump accomplished the impossible - a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.  The winning continues.

Today's episode is unapologetically constitutional about the contrast between limited government and the ever expanding reach of progressive policy.  There is a difference between liberty and tyranny and it begins with necessary versus unnecessary laws.  In this episode with that foundation in mind Douglas V. Gibbs addresses abortion, education, government spending, tariffs, guns, law and order in our violent cities, speech and dissent, healthcare, energy and climate, gender and identity, God's foundational principles and creation and lays out exactly what's wrong with the agenda that calls for more government, more control, and the expenditure of more money.  Necessary government secures natural rights.  Absolute government demands it must dictate and regulate our rights.  Truth doesn't need permission.  Liberty doesn't need approval.  The Constitution does not need to be interpreted - it needs to be restored to its original intent.

The government shutdown is a gift for President Trump to continue his constitutional trimming of the federal government, a power granted to him by the Constitution.  Douglas V. Gibbs explains the details in this episode.

The bubbling caldron of leftist violence has a source; a flame that burns beneath it.  Mr. Constitution discusses Arctic Frost, the Transgender connection to the WOKE leftists in the political and academia sectors of leftism, and how the violent Leftist Brown Shirts in America are being trained and activated to do exactly what they are doing... to violently overthrow America and murder those who stand in the way.

Are we no longer a Virtuous Society?  Have we become Franklin's predicted corrupt and vicious nation that has more need of masters?  A pattern has been emerging, and the Founding Fathers saw it coming.  Symptoms.  The death of Iryna Zarutska, the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, violence by illegal alien criminals, Trans mass shooters, blue city crime and violence: they are all symptoms of a society that has lost its moral compass and no longer clings to the concept of God-given Natural Rights.

President Donald J. Trump has the Democratic Party on the ropes.  They are obsessed with Trump and they cannot shake their derangement syndrome.  Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs in this episode marches through the various ways it is all coming crumbling down for the progressive leftist Democrats - and America is watching as it happens.

A Catholic School was attacked by a Trans Shooter in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  What were the causes?  The motive?  Was it cultural?  Is this truly spiritual warfare?  Could it have been avoided?  Douglas V. Gibbs, Mr. Constitution, explains.  

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: President Donald Trump has decided enough is enough, and is sending federal personnel to assist Washington D.C. law enforcement to crack down on crime and homelessness; and the move is legal and constitutional.  Meanwhile, the Texas Democrats who fled the State of Texas over a redistricting vote are returning.  They should not only face fines and jail time for their acceptance of bribery money (O'Rourke's payment of travel, lodging, etc) to influence the vote, but are also subject to federal penalties for violating Article I, Section 4 and Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution.  Mr. Constitution explains.  Plus, we are learning even more about the criminal activities of the Democrats surrounding the giant anti-Trump conspiracy, with Adam Schiff guilty of not only perjury, but leading classified intelligence during the whole Russia Hoax thing.  

The history and importance of American Citizenship, a discussion about the fleeing Texas Democrats over redistricting plans, Epstein and Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell, and Cracker Barrel has given in to Cultural Marxism targeting the nostalgic atmosphere that made them a great restaurant chain.

Yet another federal inferior court judge has struck down President Trump's definition that Birthright Citizenship does not apply to anchor babies (children born to illegal aliens) violating not only last June's Supreme Court order against universal injunctions but also violating the United States Constitution's Citizenship Clause and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The Russia Hoax scandal continues to pile up with more evidence against the Democrats, not only showing that President Obama set things in motion calling for the intelligence community to change their assessment of Russia's ability to interfere with U.S. Elections, but now evidence shows that Hillary Clinton began the whole scandal to protect her candidacy, go after Trump, and distract away from her email scandal. Douglas V. Gibbs also explains how Obama, despite the immunity ruling by the Supreme Court, is not immune in this case and can be charged criminally for his part in the overall conspiracy. 

Douglas V. Gibbs begins talking about Aaron Judge and his All-Star Game baseball bat with a Bible Verse on it. He then explains the importance of our Christian Foundation, and the importance of a virtuous moral society to the Founding Fathers. Mr. Gibbs then discusses the Russia Hoax news that Tulsi Gabbard released and the article by Ned Price at Fox News that tries to debunk her findings.  Doug goes back to a couple years ago when the Hamilton 68 fraud regarding Russian bots surfaced.  Then, in the final segment, Mr. Constitution goes into the Free Market (laissez-faire) economics and its importance to our liberty.

Cutting Federal Spending, being a Constitutional Republic, and the Rise of Trump - The $9 Billion spending bill codifies some of Trump's spending cuts, but was it constitutionally necessary?  What about President Trump's Presidential Power of Impoundment?  He is, after all, not only our duly elected President, but Separation of Powers does not allow Congress and the Courts to micromanage the President.  Not that we are supposed to be a democracy, but through the last election and the very important Electoral College, he was voted in as President... again.  We must not listen to the anti-Trump media and voices - the rise of Trump was upsetting to them as it was, but their attacks have never ceased.  

As Christians how are we supposed to operate in the world of politics, and is it right for us to support President Trump?  Mr. Constitution takes a biblical stance and explains out faith in action, context, and his view of Donald J. Trump.

The systemic targeting of President Trump is materializing in congressional votes and new stars rising in the Democratic Party like socialist Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race.  Mr. Constitution also discussed economics, the Big Beautiful Bill, taxation, Senate Parliamentarian, a virtuous society, and of course Independence Day.  

As the Democrats call for President Trump's impeachment over the bomb strike against Iran, and claims he violated the 1973 War Powers Act, Mr. Constitution explains that not only was the President's actions constitutional, but the War Powers Act is unconstitutional.  Then, Douglas V. Gibbs discusses the Muslim Socialist Democrat who pulled off the Democratic Party nomination for New York City's mayoral election - and how if he wins disaster is on the horizon for NYC.  

To recognize the rise of tyranny we must be fully enveloped by The Truth.  The Pilgrims lead by William Bradford knew the truth, but their descendants fell away from it.  Jonathan Edwards preached the truth, against the Halfway Covenant, and George Whitefield carried that truth throughout the Colonies. Like the series of events on the Tytler Cycle, they had gone from bondage to spiritual awakening and then with the Declaration of Independence they moved through the cycle to courage and liberty.  Then prosperity followed.  Are we today returning to bondage?  Have we forgotten the lessons of history?  Are we ready for a Great Awakening of our own?  Mr. Constitution explains.

The ICE Riots in Los Angeles, and now across the country, are coordinated and a part of a communist effort to continue the push of Cultural Marxism in America.  President Trump is constitutionally authorized to apprehend and deport illegal aliens through his agencies, and to deploy law enforcement personnel, including the National Guard and U.S. Military, to ensure that federal law is executed.  Mr. Constitution explains.

The Founding Fathers researched history and sought balance when it came to writing the United States Constitution.  Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs explains what the Founding Fathers intended, and how it applies today, especially when it comes to President Donald Trump, Congress, and the federal court system.

Birthright Citizenship as defined by the establishment against President Trump has no constitutional, legal nor judicial validity to it.  Mr. Constitution explains.  The Bible reminds us that we have wicked hearts; therefore, we must not simply follow our hearts - our feelings must be accompanied by discernment, logic, common sense and critical thinking.  A 4-year-old receiving medical treatment is facing deportation.  Is the mainstream media's portrayal of a heartless Trump administration dooming deportees to death an accurate claim?  Kamala Harris has reappeared, and it turns out she is still calling President Trump fascist.  What is fascism?  Mr. Constitution explains.

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs -- South Africa, Israelis, Trump's Big Beautiful Bill and Americans Voting with their Feet: South Africa was once an economic powerhouse, but now they are begging for America to keep their gravy train rolling, and President Trump is not in agreement.  Israeli Embassy Staffers were killed by an Anti-Semitist.  The One Big Beautiful Bill passed the House of Representatives.  Americans are voting with their feet away from Blue States.  Mr. Constitution explains.  

President Trump was asked, thanks to the Democratic Party's demand that all illegal aliens receive a court date before they are deported, if the right of Due Process must be constitutionally afforded to all persons inside the United States.  Mr. Constitution explains how President Trump should have answered.  AND, what is the difference between a republic and a democracy, and why does it matter?  Mr. Constitution not only explains the difference, but the avenue we must take in order to become a republic again.

David Horowitz passed away, Anti-Trump Propaganda has become more violent, and the Anti-Christian rhetoric and actions are dangerously corrupt and heightened.  Meanwhile, as President Trump attempts to carry out his agenda, the federal courts have been unconstitutionally attacking the President on virtually every policy.  Douglas Gibbs examines each policy and the constitutionality of Trump's actions and the unconstitutionality of the attacks from the courts.

Due Process is a foundational principle of the United States Congress and the American System of Liberty.  The Founding Fathers codified Due Process in Article III, and Amendments 5 and 6.  But, in Article I, Section 9 they provided exceptions, stating that Habeas Corpus may be suspended in times of rebellion or invasion and when the public safety requires it.  Article IV of the Constitution provides that only citizens are due the full privileges and immunities offered by the United States.  Natural Rights are important, but where is the fine line between constitutional governance and a need for providing for the public safety due to the encroachment of enemies on our soil?  Was the suspension of the J6 defendants within the realm of the rule of law?  Is it constitutional to deny due process to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the MS-13 gang member illegal alien recently sent to El Salvador and now being used as the poster-boy for the Democrats in their alleged fight to protect due process?  Mr. Constitution explains.

Deportations by the Trump Administration, including that of "The Maryland Man" MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia, are constitutional and therefore legal.  The Democrats, and the leftist establishment in general, are trying to convince the public that Garcia was deported by mistake, and it is just not true; but we expect such lies because the left has a history of deception that goes all the way back to the Founding Fathers.  We are even seeing electoral deception which recently led to Nevada's voter roll clean-up operation.  The latest revealing of the Democrat Party's constant habit of deception comes with the release of the Crossfire Hurricane files, which reveals without a doubt that Russiagate was a hoax all along.  Mr. Constitution explains.  

Tariffs are a tool, and one wielded masterfully by President Trump.  Countries are begging to work with the United States on a fair playing field, the markets have responded in a positive manner, and China is on the ropes.  The Associated Press was banned from the White House due to their disagreement regarding the Gulf of America and a federal district judge ruled it was unconstitutional for Trump to ban the AP -- except it's not.  Mr. Constitution explains.  It also turns out that J6 prosecutor Jack Smith was working with the Biden administration while he was using lawfare against Donald Trump, and it turns out it was a technical glitch that placed Goldberg on the infamous Signal Message Chat.  

April 2nd was Liberation Day according to President Donald Trump.  Mr. Constitution explains the value and dangers of tariffs, and why they can be a vital strategy for supply-side economics and for the purpose of battling against globalism.  As Columbia students protest against the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil and protests against the deportation of criminal aliens rock America, Douglas V. Gibbs explains why the constitutional rights of these people being deported are not being violated as per the concept of privileges and immunities.  DOGE is seeking to discover how it is that public officials are enriching themselves to the tune of hundreds of millions on federal salaries that are not capable of such wealth.  Follow the money?  March was a record month for jobs added by private employers, FBI and Military Recruiting, and ICE Deportations.  Mr. Constitution explains.  And finally, a man was arrested for tossing nails and screws on private driveways and around cars in parking lots belonging to Trump supporters.  Why is it that the progressive left Democrats are so willing to engage in domestic terrorism?

The Democrats and their media allies are all over Signalgate, calling it an egregious scandal.  However, the scandal's validity as a scandal hinges on the necessity of the idea that classified information was leaked during a national security update meeting and the reality is that no classified information nor specific details that could betray attack plans were discussed during the Signal messaging app chat.  Mr. Constitution explains.  Then, Douglas V. Gibbs tackles the accusations that President Donald Trump is constantly in violation of the Constitution.  Doug explains that not only has President Trump not violated the Constitution, he ranks among the best constitutional presidents in history.

Parents are protesting a bill in Illinois that targets homeschooling and requires homeschool parents to be monitored by the public school system.  In Syria, after President Assad was deposed, a hardcore fundamentalist Islamic faction is in charge, and as they slaughter anyone loyal to the Assad regime, they are targeting Christians as well; murdering them in their homes and in the streets.  A federal judge ordered President Trump to halt his deportation of criminal aliens, and Trump's response is totally constitutional.  

Mahmoud Khalil's supporters claim the pro-Hamas agitator is being targeted by ICE because of his political opinions and that the U.S. Government is violating his constitutional right of freedom of speech.  However, Khalil's presence in the United States was granted to him through a conditional connection.  Tariffs and trade with other countries also falls under the conditional connection principles.  Mr. Constitution explains in this episode of Mr. Constitution Hour.

The joint session of Congress speech by Donald Trump revealed more about the Democrats, their hypocritical resistance, and the dismal future of the Democratic Party if they don't self-examine and change their path. Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs explains.

DOGE is exposing waste and fraud and yet the left is reeling against it.  The establishment is even fighting against parental choice as revealed by a recent school choice fight in Wyoming and a court fight over parental knowledge of their children seeking sexual gender transition through the public school system.  During the final segment Doug discusses the prayer before Trump's first cabinet meeting, and five key takeaways from the meeting itself.

The Constitution states that the powers of the federal government are "herein granted," which is the foundation of the idea that any authorities held by the federal government must be expressly enumerated in the Constitution of the United States, a concept supported by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.  Donald Trump is being accused of violating the rule of law and placing in danger the constitutional republic.  Governor Pritzker of Illinois has gone so far as to state that Trump's rapid pace compares to that of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.  Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs examines the arguments and explains the constitutional original intent and the historical definitions regarding fascism.  Then, Mr. Constitution discusses international development (USAID) and if Trump's handling and dismantling of that federal agency is constitutional and within the powers delegated to the President of the United States by the Constitution.  

A Separation of Powers dictates that the operations of the Executive Branch belong to the chief executive, the President of the United States.  Yet, organizations and people with no standing are using the courts to unconstitutionally go after President Trump for his actions within the Executive Branch.  There is a constitutional crisis going on, but it's not what we are being told.  The problem is, we have wandered away from our godly foundation, and we are chasing the rule of man rather than the rule of law.  We need We the People and our churches to be active in the public square because the whole foundation that Trump is defending and operating under is supposed to operate on biblical principles.  We ARE supposed to have an energetic President, as well as an energetic general population and an energetic church with pastors who understand they are supposed to be our community leaders and that they are supposed to be energetically influential in the public square.

Are Trump's Executive Orders constitutional?  How do they compare to Joe Biden's?  What are legislative powers, and how does the separation of powers work?  What is the difference between a republic and a democracy and why do we have a federal government rather than a national government?  Mr. Constitution explains.

Our American System was founded on Biblical Godly Principles that we are still fighting for today, and the darkness that shrouds the enemies of the Constitution is becoming more and more apparent as we move forward.  Evil, however, is not on the march as we believe and can only exist when there is an absence of Godliness -- like darkness, evil is simply an absence of light.  Then, Mr. Constitution explains the Presidential Power of Impoundment, and how that power constitutionally allows the President to suspend federal expenditures as Trump did recently for either review, reallocation, or elimination.  That is the President's decision.  However, once again, the liberal left progressives have challenged the President, using the courts to control his constitutional allowances.  Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs explains the whole dilemma in detail.  

As the first week of Donald Trump's presidency nearly concludes, many questions have arisen.  Is he following the Constitution?  Is his birthright citizenship executive order constitutional?  Is he a President following the rule of law?  Is he wielding the powers of the federal government as originally intended, or is he the dictator that the Democrats claim him to be?  Mr. Constitution Douglas V. Gibbs examines each of these questions during this episode, working his way through the Preamble of the United States Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause to provide the answers.

Politicians talk about unity and defending democracy, but what do they really mean?  What did the Founding Fathers expect when they wrote the Constitution.  What kind of unity did they expect when they provided the words, "We the People"?  Then, during the last segment of this Mr. Constitution Hour episode, Douglas V. Gibbs goes over a survey regarding the priorities respondents find most important for the incoming Trump Administration.

After providing an update regarding the fires in Southern California, Douglas V. Gibbs goes back to the basic.  If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth, so has been the story of the words "democracy" and "nation," both of which were never intended by the Founding Fathers.  Mr. Constitution explains.

The Trump Effect is influencing America, and the world.  Donald Trump is not even officially President, yet, but the world is responding in a positive way.  However, we have a sick society in need of a Savior.  We have been so desensitized to immorality that when the killer of the United Health CEO was mentioned on Saturday Night Live, the crowd cheered.  We better get right with God, or our new era of returning to normalcy will be a bumpy ride.  The enemies of God, and our Liberty, are out there, not just politically, but as we saw in New Orleans and at the Trump Tower in Las Vegas, they wear the mask of Islam as well and they are willing to strike with terror inside the United States.
