A republic, if you can keep it: America’s challenge

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Why data centers have become the scapegoat for the neglect of our energy infrastructure and what happens when a tech billionaire agrees to avoid further strain on the electrical grid by providing his own power. Today I want to look at stories that have absolutely nothing to do with elections...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There were some voting issues, but most appear to be minor and quickly dealt with. That hasn’t stopped some from crying foul. Now that the 2026 elections are over, will We the People examine how we chose who to vote for, or will we blindly continue down this party-controlled path to its own frightful despotism?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What does it take to preserve America’s constitutional republic? Mike Bedenbaugh joins a discussion of founding principles, media bias, free speech, and equal justice, exploring how civic understanding, stronger representation, and a renewed balance of power help Americans protect their rights and hold government accountable...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – No more campaign ads, no more junk mail, no more wall-to-wall news coverage of the political parties. Although the election may be over, we are still uncovering details. Like the battle of the two Dans in Alaska. Did the Senate National Campaign Committee search for someone with the same name as the incumbent? It appears so. Would anyone who...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The FBI not only wants access to ALPRs across the nation, but it also wants to ensure that access cannot be audited. With the FBI's history of politically based spying, does anyone believe this access wouldn’t be abused? Legislation has been introduced in Congress that would prohibit what the FBI is trying to do, and it’s pretty good. I wonder how many...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – With all the focus on federal offices, have you spent much time considering state and local elections? After all, state officeholders are just as able to infringe on your rights as federal ones. Not to mention ballot propositions that may protect or infringe on your rights. Voting is one of the two most important and powerful duties a citizen has.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We live in a world today where we are suffering the consequences of our votes. Years ago, there was a game show called “Truth or Consequences.” Millions of Americans went to the polls to vote for who would represent them. I guess you could call it “Votes and Consequences”...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Accountability means more than imposing fines or announcing investigations. It requires identifying who breaks the law, who bears the consequences, and whether those harmed receive justice. Corporate privacy violations, sensational media coverage, partisan inquiries, and government abuses raise questions about how fairly the law applies...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Another ten non-citizens were charged with illegal voting in North Carolina. What no one seems to be asking is, why are these states looking to the federal government to investigate and prosecute what would be violations of state law? Yes, Congress passed a federal law making it a crime for a non-citizen to vote, but that law violates the...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It seems Washington, D.C. is obsessed with non-citizens being registered to vote. While this is a problem, it’s not one for the federal government. The Constitution of the United States does not delegate election regulation to the federal government; it delegates it to the states. The more We the People allow the feds to ignore the law, the more party politics will...
