@Joseph well there are a few reasons.
1. Looking better/good
2. Don't die of fat problems
3. Exercise improves your mental/intellectual ability. People are more productive, effective , and happy with more exercise as it releases endorphins.
There are a few more but these are the basics I guess.

They are a micro-nation that's jammed between two countries, one below that absolutely doesn't like them, and one above that is a key player in the world. Sometimes you need to put someone in their place. And Texas, and by proxy those who live there must put in their place every once in a while.
All signs indicate that they're complacent, content, unable, or unwilling to make changes. You can say the same things about people who live in the Northeast. We're all pricks here.
The fact they have a power grid constitutes them being a micro-nation, as far as I'm concerned.
I remember when I told people that Trump saying "Stand back, stand-by" was more of an order rather than a call to leave I got so much push back from it. From my VERY limited military experience (I was in military school) there is a big difference from telling military people to "stand-by" and "dismiss". These words are very powerful.
That's right, Hippie. And I've seen and heard the Proud Boys asserting that they believe those words were calls to overthrow our Government.
stand by says stay tuned and stay ready.
Having been IN the military, I fully agree, the wording used for things can, and is, very powerful. It also often goes unnoticed by the vast majority of people in any and all context, from my personal experience. I tend to be specific and careful with how I word things to avoid confusion. 😅
Military people putting military terms and understanding on civilians is stupid. We appreciate your service but if you can't figure out that the President isn't required to have done military service and doesn't speak in that way, maybe you need to see things from the other side.
Agreed
The wildest thing is that these traitors gave up the game with every chance they could; it wasn't a secret what they wanted to do and how they wanted to accomplish it. It was entirely transparent, but somehow, as long as they didn't use specific words or phrases, they somehow are able to avoid all legal ramifications - even when their own supporters committed crimes because of their rhetoric.
They are not traitors. Did not listen to the video? We don't have thought police!
What they said in public and what they've said online etc are two different things, in time they could be on trial for their actions. Evidence may take a while to be gathered and indeed new evidence may be presented in several years time, we don't fully know yet.
What just gets me is for civilians they would've been shot for far less. Politicians are above the law, id call that treason against the people

I came to this video after the 11 Oath Keepers were charged with seditious conspiracy.
I watched a short PBS video wherein an attorney who was being interviewed said it's been a very difficult charge to convict in the past because prosecutors failed to prove that the defendants had a "sincere belief" they could genuinely bring their plot to fruition. My question is: why would a "sincere belief" matter?
Two reasons:
1. Seditious conspiracy is a specific intent crime. The conspirators had to have the specific intent to stop the certification of the electoral college votes. If they didn’t sincerely believe they had a chance of success, then it’s hard to argue that they had the specific intent. An example would be charging someone with attempted murder for stabbing someone with a safety pin. Sure it’s illegal, and they may be guilty of a lesser crime, but they clearly didn’t believe they could kill someone that way. (This is why attempted murder charges can be hard to prove and people are often charged with felony assault instead.) Of course, the law says that intent can be formed in an instant, so even if prosecutors can’t prove the defendants originally believed they had a chance of success, they might be able to show that this changed once they entered the capitol building. But...that might require a showing that they agreed to continue the conspiracy from that point, which would be pretty hard to prove in all that chaos.
2. The defense contended that the conspirators sincerely believed that they were stopping an illegal act by preventing the certification of an election they believed was stolen. Even though this belief was false, and probably not objectively reasonable with the data at hand at the time, they still sincerely believed it because that’s what they had been told by people they trusted. So how do you prove someone intended to prevent a lawful government function if they sincerely believed that the function was unlawful? Mistake of fact is a defense in a lot of cases. I’d have to read some case law to be sure, but I don’t even think the mistake has to be reasonable in this case.
But again, this doesn’t mean these people aren’t guilty of other crimes. It just means this particular crime is very specific and often hard to prove.
It's even more interesting, considering recently the judge in the Whitmer kidnapping retrial explicitly instructed the jury that their consideration of whether the men involved are guilty of charges should not be affected by whether their kidnap plan would have actually worked. It only matters that they materially assisted in creating the plan and were willing to commit to said plan.
PBS, there's a good news source.
@@tedjob21 but my question is, why does the belief need to be sincere?
@@elizabethmead2852 Probably because the sincerity expresses intention. If there isn't a requirement of some sorts that ensures only individuals that are serious about their intentions can be convicted then practically anyone that as much as jokes about the idea can be convicted. I'd imagine the need for sincerity effectively is to act as a filter to keep most citizens from being struck by it. These types of reasons is largely why we generally can't arrest or convict someone based on thought crimes and have to wait for the individual to act upon it; otherwise the scope of potential law-breakers is practically every individual in society.
Here in Ireland we have the 'Offences against the state act' which is in fact a result and governed by our constitution. What it says is that even discussing the illegal overthrow of the state or doing anything to harm it, or raising any form of armed group other than the legal police force or armed forced of the state, is treason. So you cannot form any sort of militia. You aren't even allowed to discuss the overthrow of the government by any means other than the ballot box.
Now you could say that for example a gun club, of which there are a few in Ireland, would be 'forming a militia', guys who like shooting guns on the weekend are all of one mind and this constitutes an armed force in the country right? But to get any sort of a license in Ireland to own a weapon, you have to explicitly state that you are not a member of any outlawed group or unknown group that stands apart from the Irish armed forces or police force. Even members of the armed forces and even police officers (who are unarmed in Ireland anyway) have to sign this. It reminds them that their club is not a militia and if they think it is they can be tried for treason.
Our constitution prohibits any armed force, full stop, that is not paid for and operated by the Irish state. In fact ONE person, who is not an Irish citizen, with a gun, could be legally interpreted as a foreign force. Hence the recent and ongoing argument that as a neutral nation, with this law, we cannot allow US deliveries of weapons to Ukraine from landing at Shannon airport since those weapons are owned and operated by a foreign government.
Regardless of how friendly that foreign government might be, our constitution prohibits a foreign army operating on our territory. The only way to circumvent that is to rewrite the constitution, and the only way that would happen is for the Irish population to remove our neutrality clause by a referendum, and 95% of the population will not do that! We've been a neutral nation since the foundation of the state, through every war in the 209th century and every war in the 21st including the current one n Ukraine. Although we did impose sanctions on Russia becasue we are also in the EU.
A legal way around this is for the US to 'donate' these weapons to Ireland, including the aircraft that delivered them, and we would then immediately pass them on to the UK as some ort of 'gift' and the UK would then deliver them to Ukraine. Bizarre right? However other laws prevent Ireland from transiting, dealing or delivering arms, so that's sort of screwed, but at least its just a law and not a constitutional requirement.
This might seem like its is complete state control of a right to bear arms... and yes, that is exactly what it is. However you can still own a weapon in ireland... Its just that not a lot of people can be bothered.
Americans often cite the constitutional right to carry arms in case King George V comes back and invades the US. However Ireland has, and had, more reason to fear an invasion by the British needing us to have guns than the US will ever have. We are after all the only nation that borders with the UK. Yet we manage not to run about in the woods dressed up like an idiot playing cowboys!
i'm not generally in the market of absolving american citizens of idiocy. however, i will say this about gun control: if americans are zealously committed to something that by every account is dangerous, there's another reason it's happening.
by every metric except one, guns and SUVs are dangerous and should be heavily restricted. they're killing us every single day. the numbers don't lie. they prove that.
weapons manufacturers and the NRA lobby relentlessly against gun regulation.
car manufacturers aggressively advertise SUVs and larger pickup trucks as ideal vehicles to skirt regulations that are placed on other types of vehicles. they also lobby against changes to those regulations, so that they can continue to exploit this loophole.
what's the one metric that doesn't support tighter regulation? money. it's always money. politicians are _directly incentivized_ to advocate for their patrons' causes.

I must say your channel has been utterly delightful and enlightening! Thank you so much!
Let's be honest: "It depends," and "it's complicated" are the only answers that thrill me.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.
To my knowledge, when a murder is committed while in the act of committing another crime, it is murder in the first degree. Check.
Also if a police officer is murdered while performing his duty it is murder in the first degree. Check.
This means that every single person that participated in the murder of that police officer, whether it was part of their plan or not, is on the hook for a life sentence or the death penalty if it exists in D.C.
Sorry, I do not know if the death penalty applies in D.C.
But, this is one very good reason to avoid killing or assaulting a police officer. Even with this protection, their jobs are difficult, dirty and dangerous enough.
But, to apply this standard equally, any police officer that abuses his authority to commit murder should be likewise guilty of first degree murder. This is because as law officers, they should know better and because they are permitted to carry side-arms, wear body armor and are well trained in multiple techniques of using force to subdue or kill. That's a lot of responsibility.
Anyway, I'm not a lawyer and the law is more often than not an ass.
@@surferdude4487 That is the kind of charge that gets tacked on to other charges to get people to plead guilty in exchange for it being dropped. While you are technically probably correct, its more of a fluff charge because a even semi-decent defense lawyer could get a jury to not convict on it but it sounds very intimidating.
@@surferdude4487
Challenge #1: Prove that the act meets the definition of murder.
Challenge #2: Prove which actors were specifically involved in the death, which is presumably homicide.
Challenge #3: Prove the identity of the actors within evidence matches the identity of the accused.
Could you make the accusation of murder against the rioters whose actions resulted in assault on and/or death of a police officer? Maybe. Would you get a conviction on those charges in front of a presumed-to-be unbiased jury? It depends. These things are complicated.
They fill me with fear, which I suppose is a type of thrill. It makes it sound like everyone with power is going to get away with this and bring more of their own up. If they do everything just right, they can keep getting away with it until the last minute.
When they started arresting people and then there was the video how some of the initial charges are not necessarily all the charges and there will probably be more as the FBI put the cases together I really started to believe there would be consequences discouraging enough to put the whole thing down over the next year or so. But if the government employees get away with this, then everyone arrested was just fodder and they can keep waiting for their day.
Its complicated but it depends on what the complications are. Lol

Big fan you really are good at making the complicated understandable
Juxtaposing the complicated ways prosecutors dance around treason and sedition with the fact that you can get convicted of drunk driving by sleeping intoxicated in your car with the keys in the center console, and it's pretty clear how the law is anything but objective.
My thoughts exactly.
I also find it strange how, there are many ways to get caught drunk driving, without even driving, but a domestic abuser could beat the crap out of their family in a crowded Mall and he might just get anger management classes, well being right back at it the next day
center console not the ignition you sure about that?
@@joeybleu66 Yes, there is precedent, at least in my state. All you need is to be in proximity of the vehicle controls and have "easy access" to the keys. Even sleeping in the backseat, if the keys are in the vehicle, can lead to a DWI charge.
@@emmalarson07 That seems a bit ridiculous at first, but I can see why. A drunk person may not have the mental restraint (or enough awareness) to not drive if the controls are within easy access.
Although, it should be a secondary charge, and _much_ less serious. Maybe even just a ticket.

yes legal eagle I really enjoyed your channel you are spot on and I just wish there was more we could do to get these lawbreakers out of office thank you for your channel

Thanks. Much appreciated
Given the events that have transpired since this video was uploaded I hope to find updates from this channel on this topic.
I do not appreciate those high definition close-ups of Burr and Sessions' faces
Very unpleasant(particularly Sessions).
My old Polisci teacher once said "the line between a protest and a riot is a brick"
But no longer. It is now whatever the media decides it is.
This is disturbing and I know it is a older show, but it is shocking. Ty for making people aware. You always have truths to tell.
I found this informative, as I do all of these videos.
But then again, I used to be a truck driver, so lots of room for learning.
The road is a great teacher, don't sell yourself short😏
I can recall no memory of this video or post. Maybe it's best that I no longer drive commercial vehicles.
I have no idea why I watch so many of these videos. I’m not even American lol
good content is good content
I think the trend is: Once America does it, everyone else thinks it's okay to do now. eg Bolsanero, Duterte and Boris Johnson.
@@yehat17 Ugh, I wish that weren’t the case. We Americans are terrible role models. The world should be watching New Zealand or something instead
@@Minesofmoria__ That's great! WAY too few people are doing that in the US. That's really common for people in smaller countries to do. I'm from Norway, and we always learned a lot about other countries in school. We also show a lot of international news. I think it's really important to do so. Get out of your own bubble, basically. Learning is always good. Love from Oslo, Norway! ♡
I pledge my appreciation to the flag of the United States of America and to the ideals for which it stands. One nation of many lands. Wishing liberty and justice to all.
Wouldn’t delaying the national guard’s response count as an overt act as part of the conspiracy?
Only if you can prove that it was withheld intentionally to aid the riot. Incompetence is not the same as an overt act.
@@jayit6851 With the new document appearing signed by Christopher Miller showing that they purposely withheld or restricted the DCNG from acting against the rioters, could we then point to the overt act?
@@Unyubaby no
@@Unyubaby maybe they didn't want to escalate things like they did earlier in the year, perhaps some thought the situation was under control, etc...
I would argue yes. "So, it's treason!"
I would like to see a revisit of this situation
Great video, I even enjoyed the way you worked in your sponsors at the end.
However, as an Aussie, it leaves me shaking my head. Some of the actions undertaken by some of your elected officials are simply appalling to me, more so that they still hold their positions. Our countries are good friends but we are more different than people think. I lived in the US for a while which is why I have such a keen interest in what's happening there, but I think things have changed a lot politically since I was there over 12 years ago. Politicians are getting away with things now that would have ended careers in the past.
You're right, Jason. We're all a little terrified here. I cannot believe that a country I served in the military for would allow Lauren Bobert, Marjorie Taylor Green and their ilk continue to serve in Congress.
It really boggles the mind that those charlatans, along with a significant number of others, are still in office, rather than being in a cell behind bars.
So, basically, if you’re politically powerful or have allies who are, you can get away with anything.
Welcome to reality. Where laws made by rich folk with political power will always protect said rich folk with political power.
@@mennograafmans1595 oh, I know reality. Been a little too familiar with it ever since I tried pressing charges against my father for r api n g and ab u si n g me for 17 years and the police wouldn’t even let me do so much as file a report.
Then the times I was in the ER on the floor in my own vomit and screaming because my brain was swelling and the nurses were laughing and saying I was faking for pain medicine.
Plus section 8 applications being closed in my area for over 6 years and only avoiding homelessness for the second time by the skin of my teeth because I’m on SSDI (which only pays $8,000 per year because of course a permanently disabled person who can’t leave their house can live in that) and all the apartments in my area have rent that is more than I get in a month and they require income to be rent x3.
Yeah, reality is kinda on my shit list.
@Nicole Wren. Yup. And a raise.
@@doubtful_seer Holy shit yikes you have my deepest sympathies. :o

Oh bull crap.
@@causeeffect7624 ???
You'd love law school!
I think he directly inspired my brother to start perusing law!! That’s so crazy for me.
OBJECTION: you don't consider having an armed mob storm the Capitol to be "levying war against the United States"?
I think we can all agree on 2 things here
1: The existing laws are inadequate for dealing with these crimes
2: if left unpunished, this will happen again, and we risk losing America (again)
I also think that most of us would agree that they expertly tippy toed around the few existing laws and precedents, in the attempt to commit actions that these laws sought to prevent.
And so it is kind of hard to see that the people will accept these people not being found guilty, just because technically they didn't break any laws.
Now luckily, as the investigations into jan 6th continue, we are learning more and more about those responsible and their involvement.
And the evidence currently made available to the public is starting to get awfully close to them actually crossing those lines. (If they didn't cross them already)
And i could imagine the vast amounts of evidence that is not yet made public will be enough to prove that they did in fact cross those lines
And that should result in their prosecution.
But i fear what will happen if it does not.
Will you let the biggest crime against America go unpunished because of technicalities?
Or will you stretch the laws just enough to cover the parts where they tippy toed around?
Which is the lesser of 2 evils?
Which is the least of 2 slippery slopes?
The more history I learn (and relearn) from this channel, the more I realize that in many ways absolutely nothing has changed in this country from the beginning.
Well of course. The US was built upon certain principles and opinions. When it comes to those, only their labels have changed.
To be fair woman and people of color have the right to vote in many of the states. I won't say all since the south is repeatedly trying to suppress the black vote and try to take away woman's rights.
I'm continuously surprised at how much we rely on previous rulings to make current ones. Every situation is unique and while yes there can be comparisons made I wouldn't want to be bound by how we decided to write or rule something 300 years ago in today's society. Makes no sense to me.
@@intense79nick That's how the law is expected to function. Stare decisis dictates that, in law, the legal precedent is always used to dictate how it will be ruled in the present and simply for the fact that if it wasn't that way, you could constantly change the interpretation of the law and no one could there would be zero consistency. For instance, take a state that doesn't have stand your ground laws: one judge might rule that someone shooting an intruder is perfectly legal and they don't deserve murder while another judge who happens to be extremely pacifist might say that the same thing is illegal. A part of it is just to make sure that there is equal application of law. It just happens to be that a lot of people believe that there is never a reason to change how a law is ruled, especially in a modern society, and that causes a lot of problems.
@@JoeyMarx I can understand how equal application would encourage this precedent but I feel we have unequal application in other ways across our justice system due to discrimination and biases. In your example who's to say the first judge was correct in their ruling but because they got the chance to rule on it first they set the example that now all other judges will have to abide by it and I don't agree that we should be locked into something because a sole judge ruled that way, especially when it was over a hundred years ago. It feels like a "in a perfect society" rule in an imperfect and ever changing society. Perhaps after a certain amount of time the weight of a ruling can be lessened, especially if an argument can be made in the specific case in question has variables that differentiate it based on the climate of today's times vs when the original ruling was made. I'm not someone who knows much about law though, just a laymen who ponders on these things and writes youtube comments so I'm probably way wrong in being this concerned with it. lol
Considering everything that's been revealed about this in the last week, it might be time for a follow-up video for this
Tell me I wanna know

I'll tell you something: I'm the product of public education, and the validity of my high school diploma is, at best, questionable. I've been attempting to educate myself in a great many areas since my graduation in 1988. The Constitution fascinates me, in the sense that most people I know have never read it, yet they know all about its contents; many people around me can't tell the difference between the 10th amendment and a wheel of gouda, for example (I'm working on fixing that). I subscribed because I find your delivery captivating, informative, and rapid-fire, all signs of intelligent life in this universe. Thank you for starting this channel, and I look forward to upcoming videos.
I LOVE the humor written into this channel, with or without GrAvItAs.
The 7% gravitas is astonishingly impressive. Good on you. Such a relief!
"he wasnt willing to wait for it" legal eagle spitting some lines
Wonderful, Thank you very much.
I have given much thought to the January 6 insurrection and I have concluded that there is sufficient foundation for charges of sedition for those who engaged in this attempt to over throw the U S Government with force, ability and willful intent. I also believe that there is sufficient grounds for expulsion of certain members of Congress who supported that effort. This video you posted confirms alot of what I was thinking. Now we wait to see if this will carry through with consequences.

POV: you’re talking to your new white-shoe attorney you had to hire to defend yourself against seditious conspiracy charges
Okay I gotta ask: What does "white shoe attorney" mean?
@@Delightfully_Bitchy not a lawyer, nor in the legal field, but from context it sounds like it means "new"
“White shoe” actually means prominent and prestigious.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy It means well connected in the world of money and politics. Those are the best lawyers who can argue for release of people who should not be releaded. The people who get clearly guilty people minimal sentences. The reason why people hate the lawyers that the rich and morally bankrupt people can afford.
@@indoor_vaping Ah. I get it. Thank you.
Can we get an update on this video with more highlighted by the Jan 6 investigation?
Great history lesson.
It's like pornography - hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
I think its more like cubist pornography. Slightly easier to define, but much harder to actually judge when you are seeing it.
The Irony is that if most of the rotors wore face masks it would be a lot harder to prosecute them
You're so right. People protesting in Hong Kong have been wearing masks since way before Covid for that very reason.
Thank god for idiots
@@alertedcoyote7892 you could say that again
My bf and I have been saying this over and over. Like, this is one of the *few* times where you could get away with hiding your identity without looking suspicious, but these conspiracy nuts are so damn hard about COVID being fake and masks being a violation of free speech that they didn't even cover their faces out of obstinace. Like, they could have even worn Trump masks or ironic masks that say dumb shit like "this mask does nothing." But they didn't because they're priorities are so ass-backwards. I hope they all get caught and I hope they didn't spread the virus through their ignorance
Except for the fact they were all so pleased with themselves that they splashed it all over their social media...stupid is as stupid does, or as my Granther used to say, Stupidity should hurt.”🖤🇨🇦

Okay the woosh sound you use when you put stuff on screen sounds like a door opening with headphones and it always gets me when I listen without the video 🤣
"He wasn't willing to wait for it" I see what you did there good sir.
"The stuff that was on Instagram deserves to be in jail" Damn... never thought I'd hear a lawyer throwing THAT level of shade.
This video just came up for me on the first Friday in February 2022. This makes the Jan 6th commission and DOJ taking so long make sense. It will be interesting to see what happens now because earlier today the GOP declared what happened as perfectly fine
Thank you for sharing your education, experience, and skills online. Your oration is well paced, exact, and the research seemingly impeccable. And the safest answer is always one of "it depends" and "It's complicated" - appreciated very much in the default overzealous bifurcating approach to matters in North American culture. You are surely the treasured favourite professor of your students. Kudos!
The fact that they booked a parking lot of a lawn service shop for their speech because it had the same name as the 4 seasons hotel is still a mind buggering wtf for me.......
I suspect they screwed up. Someone Google searched "4 seasons phone number" when making the booking, and clicked on the first link without reading it. The lawn shop owner (probably feeling very bemused by the request) agreed to host the speech without actually mentioning that they were a lawn shop... and by the time Guliani's staff realised their error it was too late to cancel and book the actual hotel they'd intended to use.
It shows how much fact checking and actual research they do
@@nerd1000ify - my suspicion is that they sent out that tweet before they actually got the booking, the hotel said “no you don’t!” And trump, as always, refused to back down & admit he was wrong.
@@nerd1000ify The garden center probably thought it was a prank and just played along. The funny thing is that no one would admit to the screw up, because conservative doctrine doesn't allow for one admitting they could ever be wrong on anything.

Legal Eagle, 2021
I'll take one in medium
This is such a fantastic video.
Your hilarious, and I learned something!
"So it's treason then" is not something I expected Legal Eagle to say ever.
“We love you”...”you are special”....”now let’s take a little walk down to the Capitol; I’ll be with you.” [maybe]
Or. I'll watch on tv with family...cheering you on.
It does raise the question of if he physically could have walked from there to the capitol? he actually use a golf cart after all
"peacefully and patriotically March and make your voices heard."
Yup. Sounds like he was encouraging a riot. /s
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾👍🏾
@@elroy8272 👍🏾👍🏾
Our country is ridiculous and foolish. That sending an armed mob to the capitol to resist the government, its laws, and the peaceful transfer of power is not treason is plainly pathetic. I can literally think of nothing more treasonous than that.
