You showed the wrong emergency at 3:17 , I'm sorry but you meant the one below it. Alexander Lukashenko runs Belarus not Syria. There are alot I can see how you got confused.
I went looking as well when I saw the leader of Belarus and trying to figure out how he was related to one of the Syrian EO bans. For those that are interested, the Belarus order is Executive Order 13405.
Came over here from the Nebula version of the video just to say this (Nebula has no comments). Thought I was going crazy for a minute when I read Syria but saw the head of Belarus!
They declare emergencies for the same reasons that they will never undeclare them. By declaring emergencies they open up new and easier doors to money and power and the ability to make random laws on a whim and enforce them using federal troops and officers and they can skirt the due process of law. These are just a few of the more obvious reasons, there are many more and none of them benefit us in the slightest and are all intended to help the government in some fashion.
The reason is more that congress is so bad at getting basic stuff done and also that there is a separation of powers between the president and congress (a very unusual thing in developed democracies; only the US and Korea really do this, although France and Portugal sometimes end up in this situation too).
Have you read the list of national emergencies that have been declared? Almost all of the ones currently in effect are just sanctions on world leaders or other countries around the world. Proclamation 10371 signed in April 2022 bans Russian ships from entering U.S. ports. Executive Order 14024 froze the property assets of certain Russian government officials. Proclamation 9994, signed March 2020, waived some regulations relating to public health, allowing doctors to see patients over video chat. That proclamation was terminated in April of this year. How do these get the president money or power?
The Lincoln case is even more complicated than the video suggests. The concept of "legal presidential emergency powers" did not exist. In fact, the doctrine of "nondelegation" was still a part of accepted Constitutional law, so even if Congress passed a law providing for emergency powers, it would've been struck down as unconstitutional. What I just wrote makes it seem like an open-and-shut case against Pres. Lincoln, but that's ignoring the context. Lincoln (together with nearly everyone in the northern States - even his political opponents) firmly believed that secession was unconstitutional (and having read the Federalist Papers thrice over, I suspect he was right). He further believed that the Constitution could not exist *at all* if secession was tolerated. Lincoln locked up individuals in Fort McHenry who were trying to get Maryland to secede. This was especially dangerous to the Federal Government because it would've meant that DC would be completely surrounded by seceded states. Lincoln argued that the Constitution empowered him to do whatever was *absolutely* necessary to keep to government functioning - including protecting the Congress. He also argued that even if he was not so empowered (though he claimed to believe he was) it was necessary to amputate the limb (the part of the Constitution forbidding this one action - if there was one) in order to save the whole life (the entire rest of the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights). I'm not saying he was correct, and his actions were therefore not illegal, I'm only saying there is a rational case that his actions were not illegal. In other words, it's a solid "maybe." EDIT: All this happened after the bombardment of Fort Sumter and the Baltimore riots. Actual lethal violence had been done on federal personnel, sometimes even on federal property. Lincoln was trying to protect authorities from additional violence while upholding the law as he understood it - for better or worse.
Lincoln's actions were tyrannical and paved the way for the current federal monstrosity; making him our worst President. Even worse than FDR, Obama, Biden, Taft, Grant, and Carter.

In the bit about stopping the guy from buying plane tickets, you show a picture of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, but an executive order relating to Syria. Both of these are still under the "Russia's allies can get bent" category, I guess.
If anyone is interested in some short comparative analysis of the US system v. an actually good one, here's that. Brazil has 3 kinds of "emergencies" (they call it "exceptional mesures"). 1) Federal Intervention: used against states that threaten the Union of its constitution and allows the Presidente to withdraw the Governor or assume powers reserved to the state level. 2) State of Defense: used on a delimited part of the territory in case of serious threat to the Constitution, the public order or in case of natural catastrophes. Some rights can be limited such as freedom of transit and the privacy of phone talks. Maximum duration is 60 days. 3) State of Siege: the most drastic one, can be decreed onto the whole territory in case of a military attack/invasion or situations the state of defense was unable to resolve. More rights can be restrained (the gov can order people to stay in a designated place and prisoners can be detained in non-jail places). In case of military attack, all rights can be withheld. BUT: Congress NEEDS to aprove these measures in the first place and EVERY RENEWAL, for 30 days maximum, needs congressional approval. If the measures continue without it, the President can be impeached. AND, the Constitution can NEVER be amended during the emergencies, so limitations to governmental action cannot be revoked if the President so wants. I quite admire these measures as they grant that checks and balances can work properly and are clearly defined by the Constituion. The US system is crazy.
The assassination had nothing to do with the writ of habeas corpus. Booth himself told a friend he was going to assassinate the President to prevent black people from being granted the right to vote. (Yes, I know this is a joke, but some people unironically believe that Lincoln was a villain, so I felt the need to speak up, even though that doesn't seem to be what was intended here)
It's not the answer to everything, it's the answer to the *ultimate question* of life, the universe, and everything. Though I liked the comment anyway.
I'm not a Constitutional law scholar so take this with a grain of salt, but I think there is an argument that what Lincoln did was at least somewhat constitutional, since Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution lays out that the writ of habeas corpus (the thing that keeps the government from locking you up for no reason) can be suspended "when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Also an example there of the emergency powers the Framers did write into the Constitution, because they didn't forget to give the government emergency powers as much as they chose to give it very limited emergency powers.
I studied Constitutional law for my paralegal certificate (but not that part, IIRC). I'm also a history nerd, so I happened to know beforehand that the issue of the day was that many believed that Article I, Section 9 applied only to the Congress specifically, and that the President could not suspend the Writ on his own authority - only Congress could do that. Of course, Congress was not in session, and the loss of Maryland could've prevented it from ever going into session again. For more information of Pres. Lincoln's counterargument on the suspension of the Writ, I recommend reading Pres. Lincoln's own Special Adress to Congress on July 4, 1861. Read the whole thing, only a small part of it deals with this case, but all of it is excellent.
A state which has seceded from the United States cannot be held to be in rebellion; as it is no longer under the authority of the United States. The Constitutional crisis that should have been settled, prior to war, is whether secession was Constitutional. This could only have been accomplished by SCOTUS. I just don't know the vehicle to bring it before the court.

Because ideally, these powers would be used in a situation where action is required immediately, and there's no time to debate. That's why they are "emergency" powers. The problem here I guess is the vagueness of what an emergency is.
@@Radnugget again, ideally, they'd only do that if the emergency was still ongoing. I'm not saying that's what happens, I'm saying that's why it's written that way.
Theoretically, every 6 months after a national emergency is declared, congress is supposed to meet to consider a vote to forcibly end the emergency, and thus the powers granted by it. However, congress has never done this, despite being supposed to.
If you read the text of the laws granting emergency powers which HAI flashed on screen, you'll see that most of those "uses" of emergency powers stretch the definitions of what's in the authorizing laws. (In particular, that theme park one is used in a law only authorizing military construction)

Most “national emergencies” aren’t all that interesting. The Act is now mostly used as a way for the president to impose sanctions on members of various dictatorships or terrorist groups. I think there are only like… two that involves military powers. I made a video! ruclips.net/video/Fur-8SDV_4g/видео.htmlfeature=shared
3:18 here is slight addition to your next mistakes video: on screen, it is written that something something president of Syria, while you show Alexander Luckashenko, Belorussian dictator on video footage
This was probably my favorite of all the HAI videos so far because it is not just informative and entertaining, it is satirical and pointed. I would love to see someone run on the "prevent the President from being able to give themselves emergency powers" platform, but, alas, I don't see anyone doing that anytime soon. It would be great if national emergencies, if we need them at all, had to be both declared and renewed by acts of Congress, not the President. But Congress has become so divided and dysfunctional that I can sort of see why the President thinks it's their job to do this.
Why’s it so easy to buy a gun? Because the founding fathers _knew_ governments can become tyrannical and others will often take what’s not theirs by force so citizens needed a way to stop them. We arnt far off having a tyrannical government either
5:03 Literally can not apply to the ship you showed, the APL Detroit is under the flag of Singapore, and owned by Neptune Orient Lines Limited, not owned by a us citizen, registered under US law, and actually was built in South Korea.
I totally agree with everything ur saying but I feel like you intentionally left out the part on EO 13224 right after "intended to relieve human suffering" that says if the donations are coerced, would endanger military forces, or if it would inhibit the president's ability to control a situation. That last part is the main problem in my opinion, that gives it too much broad authority, but the whole shutting down charities part was pretty incorrect I feel. I agree with the perspective but the facts do enough to show the problems n truth so no need to exaggerate or bend the words considering that's the main thing the presidents keep doing to abuse said power.
problem is that as far as I know not tested and how thing is might be fully possible. like if the gov can make food hand out illegal whats stopping them. beyond a agency like the red cross in this extreme of a situation having higher rank my default (there is a saying in the military that goes something like. In the field hospital the medic outranks god). that said Trump did pull out of that last I heard and im not sure if Biden got the US back in again.
At 5:20, I can't tell whether 'President may, if *she* deems it necessary' is a genuine error or something left there for the benefit of eagle-eyed viewers.
So the President could declare the lack of cat-girls to be a national emergency and then force scientists to create a serum to make cat-girls... noted.
Found something for your mistake video 2023 Sam. At 4:54 you say “which the UN considers a biological weapon” while instead showing NATO’s logo; not the UN’s.
Clearly Sam doesn't know anything about the Constitution or its history. It isn't suspended or ignored during an emergency, individual rights are still kept in place. And the government doesn't have any powers not spelled out to it in the document. Also Sam doesn't know the difference between NATO and the UN in this video.

Sadly, dogs can't run for presidency as they don't meet the minimum age requirement. Now a turtle could run, and they'd even get a bunch of free publicity from the reptilian conspiracy theorists.
What was so great about the year 1979 that there were no national emergencies going on? Edit: I think the video meant no "ongoing" emergencies. But still...
Nothing. Presidents weren't abusing the ambiguous national emergency power before then (more importantly, Congress was actually functional back then, so any of those procedures that were worth doing for more than a year would have simply b3en passed by Congress)
The powers are limited to those enumerated in the US Constitution everyday regardless of any “emergency”. The US Constitution doesn’t include “emergency” powers because the founders were actually quite smart and designed a ‘“limited” federal government.
It's funny how Sam can research things so well yet then inject random nonsense that if you would just spend 10 seconds on he would realize is wrong. If it's easy for him to buy a gun then it's because he already has a concealed carry permit, which means you took a class and you gave your fingerprints to the police. I'm willing to bet that since Sam thinks it's easy that means he doesn't have a permit so he would need to go to a federal firearm licensed dealer, pass an NICS background check (note that this is the universal background check politicians don't want you to think have), then depending on the type of gun and jurisdiction you would need to wait 3 to 5 days. It's also important to realize that the gun show loophole is a myth. The vast majority of gun shows will kick you out if you attempt a private sale, this is because 9.9 times out of 10 it's an undercover ATF agent (worse they are trying to coerce you into making the sell, something that is illegal) Also unless you have proof of sale the you can be charged if a crime is later committed with the firearm making most individuals stay away from private sale. I wish Sam would research things before just relying on partisan talking points.
@@AmyDentata What does this have anything to do with what I said? I realize you have a bigoted straw man opinion of gun people based off your willful ignorance; however saying such random nonsense is not helpful to the conversation. I does aid in making your side of the argument look like the iratinal one it is.
I've only bought one gun from an FLD. It was this year and the time between choosing one and walking out with it was under 10 minutes. There was no fingerprinting and I've never attempted to get a carry permit. I loved that. Still prefer buying from yard sales and flea markets though
@@CaptainMisery86 the proper acronym is FFL. There is only a waiting period depending on your jurisdiction and what you are buying (long gun or handgun), for instance my country has a waiting period for hand guns but not long guns. Finger printing only happens if you apply for a concealed carry, typically refered to as a CCW. Depending on weather you live a CCW is required to legally carry pepper spray. You may have not realized this but you filled out a form for a NICS backgroundcheck, you needed a valid ID for this. You are likely never going to see firearms sold at yard sales or flea markets, unless they are also FFLs. If someone is willing to do a private sell with you on a firearm and you don't personally know them they are either a back market criminal or federal law enforcement, I would highly suggest not doing this.
People who like learning things often know a lot of things already...who would've guessed. Also, a lot of commenters are subscribers, so we are more likely to notice errors in something that is presumably intended to be accurate. That being said, this video was mostly accurate, as far as I know. I never went through the full Congressional Research Service report on national emergencies, so I can't claim omniscience.
It's intriguing to see how Amazon's AMK69X is weaving itself into the fabric of tech narratives, promising to be the thread that pulls future developments together.
The reason the founding fathers didn’t write the powers for an emergency is because the constitution was written during one. The president and other parts of the government are not supposed to have extra powers.
Trump was very rude and talked way more than he should have, but beyond that he wasn't worse than previous presidents. Like Obama built more wall along the border than Trump. Biden eventually authorized the completion of some of the wall construction Trump started. Both Obama and Biden deported more illegal immigrants than Trump and both used the same "cages" for kids. Trump got us out of Afghanistan (yes it happened while Biden was president, but only because Biden did not halt Trump's exit plan), got most of our troops out of Syria, had middle eastern countries agreeing to make peace with Israel, was the first leader anywhere to deliver real firepower to Ukraine, and stopped north korean ICBM tests with a single day of chatting. Also, that vaccine yall love so much was completed in record time due, in part, to the efforts of the Trump administration.
I don't really see how that emergency power regarding radio transmitters and receivers has jack shit to do with "taking control of the entire internet", unless you think the internet is only accessible through wireless communications standards.

The editing on this was chefs kiss!
3:17 that's Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus. Unclear how he relates to Syria. Look forward to seeing that in the corrections episode.
Most “national emergencies” aren’t all that interesting. The Act is now mostly used as a way for the president to impose sanctions on members of various dictatorships or terrorist groups. I think there are only like… two that involves military powers. I made a video! ruclips.net/video/Fur-8SDV_4g/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Office space reference! If you could do more of those, that would be greeaatt!
3:18 here is slight addition to your next mistakes video: on screen, it is written that something something president of Syria, while you show Alexander Luckashenko, Belorussian dictator on video footage
This was probably my favorite of all the HAI videos so far because it is not just informative and entertaining, it is satirical and pointed.
I would love to see someone run on the "prevent the President from being able to give themselves emergency powers" platform, but, alas, I don't see anyone doing that anytime soon.
It would be great if national emergencies, if we need them at all, had to be both declared and renewed by acts of Congress, not the President. But Congress has become so divided and dysfunctional that I can sort of see why the President thinks it's their job to do this.

When you allow the government to claim more power by declaring an emergency, *there will never stop being an emergency*.
Why’s it so easy to buy a gun? Because the founding fathers _knew_ governments can become tyrannical and others will often take what’s not theirs by force so citizens needed a way to stop them. We arnt far off having a tyrannical government either
The Founding Father's were tyrannical they owed slaves
5:03 Literally can not apply to the ship you showed, the APL Detroit is under the flag of Singapore, and owned by Neptune Orient Lines Limited, not owned by a us citizen, registered under US law, and actually was built in South Korea.
0:05 missed a good opportunity to put the beginning to "The Way I Are" there
I totally agree with everything ur saying but I feel like you intentionally left out the part on EO 13224 right after "intended to relieve human suffering" that says if the donations are coerced, would endanger military forces, or if it would inhibit the president's ability to control a situation. That last part is the main problem in my opinion, that gives it too much broad authority, but the whole shutting down charities part was pretty incorrect I feel. I agree with the perspective but the facts do enough to show the problems n truth so no need to exaggerate or bend the words considering that's the main thing the presidents keep doing to abuse said power.
problem is that as far as I know not tested and how thing is might be fully possible.
like if the gov can make food hand out illegal whats stopping them.
beyond a agency like the red cross in this extreme of a situation having higher rank my default (there is a saying in the military that goes something like. In the field hospital the medic outranks god).
that said Trump did pull out of that last I heard and im not sure if Biden got the US back in again.
"We are out of Coffee" -- Airplane the Movie, now, that's a national emergency.
At 5:20, I can't tell whether 'President may, if *she* deems it necessary' is a genuine error or something left there for the benefit of eagle-eyed viewers.
The fact that they can just take TVA's land is a bit terrifying.
Now that I know about this it makes the Project 2025 that much more scary
you got the wrong emergency for "this guy" lukashenka at 3:16
it's like you don't have a team to check every inch of screen or something
Didn't Emperor Palüatine just have a single emergency?
And everyone applauded 😢
In the UK we don't have emergencies, we have full on crises.
Honestly he'd be a more sane president than most of the other current options
"y is it so easy to buy a gun" it takes forever
Wrong
Not a single hitchhikers reference?
Props for the Digg reference.
That UN flag is really similar to NATO: 4:54
I just like it when you say emergency it really makes the video
JJ McCollough has a video about this which goes into more detail. We need a constitutional amendment to define emergency powers more clearly.
You have my vote as long as I can resume normal activity during this "emergency". I wanna see the fish men.
So basically the US government takes “rules are meant to be broken” quite fondly.
So the President could declare the lack of cat-girls to be a national emergency and then force scientists to create a serum to make cat-girls... noted.
This video went from hilarious to hilarious AND concerning
I didn't even need to look at the credits to know this one was written by Ben.
Hi Sam have you tried buying a gun? You say it's easy but that's typically a false assumption people who aren't gun owners think.
🎯
ever heard of texas?
Found something for your mistake video 2023 Sam. At 4:54 you say “which the UN considers a biological weapon” while instead showing NATO’s logo; not the UN’s.
"Why is it so easy for me to buy a gun" - people who've never tried to buy a gun.
Compared to most other countries in the world it definetly is.
Clearly Sam doesn't know anything about the Constitution or its history.
It isn't suspended or ignored during an emergency, individual rights are still kept in place. And the government doesn't have any powers not spelled out to it in the document.
Also Sam doesn't know the difference between NATO and the UN in this video.
He showed the wrong flag, but really the UN without NATO is just a meeting house for leaders to criticize each other
You realize we had someone ready to declare martial law to keep him in office, right?
We joke about Joe.. but that's actually like a 75 percent chance of happening. 😅
Joe didn't cause an emergency by sending an armed mob to attack Congress.
And FDR once shouted from the comfort of his wheelchair:
CMON MAN!
sam for president 2024
Sam from Wendover is the lesser of 3 evils. He has my vote.
The Panama Canal Zone no longer exists, but when it did, it was a US enclave in Panama.
Barro Colorado Island was part of the Panama Canal Zone before it was reverted back to Panama in 1999.

But is the emergency provision still active regardless?
seems accurate
42 is indeed the answer to life, the universe and EVERYTHING

That one about cell phones was kind of important. China was importing Huawei phones that could be accessed remotely. I don't think any country would allow themselves to be surveilled voluntarily by another foreign country, friend or foe.

With the current candidates for 2024 I'd like to know if that dog has any other policies than executing the mail men
2 walkies minimum a day
Mandatory belly rubs twice a day minimum
Constant headpats at all times
Sadly, dogs can't run for presidency as they don't meet the minimum age requirement. Now a turtle could run, and they'd even get a bunch of free publicity from the reptilian conspiracy theorists.
The freedom to shit wherever they want. Including inside.
The picture of chipotle used at 1:06 is the chipotle at Indiana University in bloomington! Just a fun fact!
What was so great about the year 1979 that there were no national emergencies going on?
Edit: I think the video meant no "ongoing" emergencies. But still...
I was born. You're welcome! 🙂
Nothing. Presidents weren't abusing the ambiguous national emergency power before then (more importantly, Congress was actually functional back then, so any of those procedures that were worth doing for more than a year would have simply b3en passed by Congress)
The powers are limited to those enumerated in the US Constitution everyday regardless of any “emergency”. The US Constitution doesn’t include “emergency” powers because the founders were actually quite smart and designed a ‘“limited” federal government.
If you say it's easy to buy a gun you're either buying them illegally or have never bought one at all.

The biggest impact a National Emergency has ever had was with the Ermächtigungsgesetz.
It's funny how Sam can research things so well yet then inject random nonsense that if you would just spend 10 seconds on he would realize is wrong.
If it's easy for him to buy a gun then it's because he already has a concealed carry permit, which means you took a class and you gave your fingerprints to the police.
I'm willing to bet that since Sam thinks it's easy that means he doesn't have a permit so he would need to go to a federal firearm licensed dealer, pass an NICS background check (note that this is the universal background check politicians don't want you to think have), then depending on the type of gun and jurisdiction you would need to wait 3 to 5 days.
It's also important to realize that the gun show loophole is a myth. The vast majority of gun shows will kick you out if you attempt a private sale, this is because 9.9 times out of 10 it's an undercover ATF agent (worse they are trying to coerce you into making the sell, something that is illegal)
Also unless you have proof of sale the you can be charged if a crime is later committed with the firearm making most individuals stay away from private sale.
I wish Sam would research things before just relying on partisan talking points.
please stop having sex with guns
@@AmyDentata What does this have anything to do with what I said? I realize you have a bigoted straw man opinion of gun people based off your willful ignorance; however saying such random nonsense is not helpful to the conversation.
I does aid in making your side of the argument look like the iratinal one it is.
I've only bought one gun from an FLD. It was this year and the time between choosing one and walking out with it was under 10 minutes. There was no fingerprinting and I've never attempted to get a carry permit. I loved that. Still prefer buying from yard sales and flea markets though
@@CaptainMisery86 the proper acronym is FFL. There is only a waiting period depending on your jurisdiction and what you are buying (long gun or handgun), for instance my country has a waiting period for hand guns but not long guns.
Finger printing only happens if you apply for a concealed carry, typically refered to as a CCW. Depending on weather you live a CCW is required to legally carry pepper spray.
You may have not realized this but you filled out a form for a NICS backgroundcheck, you needed a valid ID for this.
You are likely never going to see firearms sold at yard sales or flea markets, unless they are also FFLs.
If someone is willing to do a private sell with you on a firearm and you don't personally know them they are either a back market criminal or federal law enforcement, I would highly suggest not doing this.

4:55 Says UN but shows NATO symbol.
So that's less than one per president, that's not bad. I would love to see a world map with every country to compare.
Misuse of a comma.

Something about this channel makes it so attractive to omniscient beings who use this power to fact-check random videos on RUclips apparently
People who like learning things often know a lot of things already...who would've guessed.
Also, a lot of commenters are subscribers, so we are more likely to notice errors in something that is presumably intended to be accurate.
That being said, this video was mostly accurate, as far as I know. I never went through the full Congressional Research Service report on national emergencies, so I can't claim omniscience.
How the US manages to not be a dictatorship, is a mistery for another video.
Part of it is a lack of competent would-be dictators

As a lawyer, the glaring inaccuracies in your descriptions of the current nat’l emergencies is seriously disconcerting and highly misleading
Apparently there is no way to challenge the emergency declarations?
such as? provide examples please
Buying a gun isn't that easy.
The reason the founding fathers didn’t write the powers for an emergency is because the constitution was written during one. The president and other parts of the government are not supposed to have extra powers.
We need a law that allows the Governor of California to declare California provisionally independent for the duration of a public emergency.
This is the first time this Channel got recommended to me 😂 How'd I miss this?

This is the best ad against re-electing Trump that I've ever seen.
Trump was very rude and talked way more than he should have, but beyond that he wasn't worse than previous presidents. Like Obama built more wall along the border than Trump. Biden eventually authorized the completion of some of the wall construction Trump started. Both Obama and Biden deported more illegal immigrants than Trump and both used the same "cages" for kids. Trump got us out of Afghanistan (yes it happened while Biden was president, but only because Biden did not halt Trump's exit plan), got most of our troops out of Syria, had middle eastern countries agreeing to make peace with Israel, was the first leader anywhere to deliver real firepower to Ukraine, and stopped north korean ICBM tests with a single day of chatting. Also, that vaccine yall love so much was completed in record time due, in part, to the efforts of the Trump administration.
@Azurethewolf168 You're a furry Republican... best of luck when the GOP cracks down on furries - just look at Oklahoma!
I don't really see how that emergency power regarding radio transmitters and receivers has jack shit to do with "taking control of the entire internet", unless you think the internet is only accessible through wireless communications standards.
