    Faith vs Socialism: 14th Amendment Battle, Iran Update & CA Governor Race

    Eric Rollins, the Constitutionalist, delivers straight talk on why faith and socialism stand as polar opposites. Big government substitutes for God, destroys individual responsibility, and ignores human nature. Biblical principles of separation of church and state, personal charity through tithing, and real-world experiments on human behavior prove socialism’s fatal flaw.The episode examines the Supreme Court case on the 14th Amendment and the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Discussion covers birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants, Chinese birth tourism factories in Southern California, Somali cultural non-assimilation, anchor baby welfare scams, and the damage to American culture and liberty.On Iran, analysis addresses 47 years of “Death to America,” nuclear enrichment to 60%, funding of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and the recent U.S. strikes. The Constitutionalist expresses hope for a better future in the Middle East and freedom from oppression.A no-holds-barred breakdown of the California governor’s race follows: Gavin Newsom’s attempts to appear cool, leading Democrats Eric Swalwell (judgment issues and new allegations), Katie Porter (emotional meltdowns), Tom Steyer (billionaire socialist), and more moderate Matt McMahon. On the Republican side, comparison of Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton (recent Trump endorsement), with emphasis on momentum, details, and the urgent need for a Republican governor.Voter ID and Prop 13 appear on the ballot. Time for California to wake up and restore common sense.Subscribe, like, and share if you value constitutional principles and the American Dream. Let’s make California roar again.

    Restoring the Blessings of Liberty: Marine Veteran Shane Lewis Challenges the Status Quo in CA-18

    Under the red, white, and blue, we stand our ground with the words of the Founders echoing. On this episode of The Constitutionalist Podcast, host Eric Rollins welcomes Shane Lewis, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, worship leader, elder, and Republican candidate for California's 18th Congressional District. Shane shares his journey from high school straight into the Marines—serving as an aviation technician on the AV-8B Harrier, earning meritorious promotions and blood wings as a paratrooper—to a career in R&D, failure analysis for fighter jet displays (F-15 to F-35), and medical devices. A proud Christian husband and father of four, Shane explains how his faith and family drove him into the fight for liberty when he heard a politician claim the Second Amendment could be regulated like any other right. We dive deep into the core purpose of government as stated in the Preamble: to secure the blessings of liberty so Americans can thrive. Shane applies his failure analysis expertise to politics, breaking down how the current system has inverted authority—government telling the people what to value instead of the people holding government accountable. Key topics: Immigration reform that ends the shadow economy and reinstitutionalization of a serf/slave class while encouraging legal pathways and assimilation.Census reform to stop counting illegals for apportionment and federal funding formulas that reward sanctuary policies with hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.Agriculture as the economic backbone of CA-18 (Salinas, Fresno, Kings, San Benito counties) – water rights, overregulation, central planning in the farm bill, and why politicians must get in the trenches with farmers and workers instead of dictating from Washington.Education, civics, financial independence, and breaking the cycle of dependency.A bold idea: making personal investments in health, fitness, and Bill of Rights activities tax-deductible to promote self-governance.Shane Lewis isn't waiting for permission—he's ready to use the power of the purse, ally on common-sense wins, and redirect government to its proper role as an enabler, not a controller. This conversation is packed with hope, constitutional clarity, and practical solutions for a district that feeds the nation. If you're tired of career politicians who can't spell "Constitution," this episode is for you. Share it, subscribe, and let's restore liberty one district at a time.

    Europe's Populist Awakening vs. California's Socialist Slumber: From AfD Gains to Cuban Hypocrisy and Golden State Fraud

    In this hard-hitting episode of The Constitutionalist, Eric Rollins connects the dots on a world in flux. We celebrate hopeful nationalist and populist gains in Europe—AfD’s record-breaking surge in western Germany (jumping over 11 points in Rhineland-Palatinate) and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally making major inroads across rural and small-town France—while warning that the globalist-left alliance still fights tooth and nail against sovereignty and common sense. We expose the jaw-dropping hypocrisy of Code Pink, Hasan Piker, Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi, and other champagne socialists who flew first-class to blacked-out Cuba, partied in 5-star hotels with generators and private concerts, handed “aid” straight to the communist regime, and then chanted for “Free Palestine” while ordinary Cubans suffered in the dark. Eric calls it exactly what it is: performative activism that helps no one but the elites and the dictatorship. Closer to home, we dive deep into the waste, fraud, and abuse rotting California from within. Independent journalist Nick Shirley is doing the work state auditors won’t—uncovering alleged massive scams in fake daycares (kids left unattended), ghost hospices billing Medicare/Medi-Cal while luxury cars sit outside, and suspicious voter registrations that scream corruption. Eric draws the direct line: this is why California sits on tens of billions in debt and unfunded liabilities while Gavin Newsom points fingers everywhere but at his own failed policies on homelessness, crime, and fiscal sanity. We also spotlight local heroes like Josh of Oreo Express and Nate Friedman exposing paid protest networks. Finally, Eric rallies listeners to get involved: protect Proposition 13 on the 2026 ballot, push the California Voter ID initiative to clean the rolls and restore trust, and make sure real accountability candidates break through in the primaries. No more excuses—liberty demands action. If you love straight talk rooted in the Constitution, family, faith, and American exceptionalism, this episode is for you. Share it far and wide, leave a review, and join the fight. God bless America, and God bless the Constitutionalists who still stand for her.

    Deport Illegals, Save Farms, Reject RINOs – Vin Kruttiventi on The Constitutionalist

    The Constitutionalist Podcast features an in-depth interview with Vin Kruttiventi, conservative Republican candidate for California's 13th Congressional District. A first-generation legal immigrant and successful entrepreneur in tech and retail, Kruttiventi discusses his journey from arriving in America with nothing to building thriving businesses, and his awakening during COVID mandates that devastated communities while elites ignored restrictions. The conversation covers key issues facing the Central Valley: agriculture as the backbone of the district yet crippled by environmental regulations prioritizing fish over farmers; proposals for federal solutions including special economic zones to attract jobs, new surface water storage, dams, dredging, and groundwater recharge; merit-based immigration reform, deporting illegals, ending chain migration and welfare abuse for non-citizens; tying federal infrastructure funds to water delivery accountability and cracking down on sanctuary policies; addressing homelessness, high poverty, and inflation impacts; and rejecting cultural distractions in favor of basics—jobs, safety, education, and opportunity. Kruttiventi contrasts his record as a budget-balancing businessman with career politicians and RINOs, highlighting failures like doubled homelessness and support for DEI and reparations programs. Grassroots door-knocking reveals strong enthusiasm for a candidate focused on results and servant leadership. The episode highlights real hope for California's 13th District in the 2026 election. Kruttiventi has dominated Republican fundraising, signed the U.S. Term Limits Pledge, launched campaign ads, and earned endorsements—positioning as the fighter to unseat incumbent Adam Gray.

    Father's Heartbreak: Teen Executed at Clovis McDonald's – Fighting Prop 57 Injustice | EP 145

    In this powerful and emotional episode of The Constitutionalist, host Eric Rollins sits down with Stephen Quick, the grieving father of 18-year-old Caleb Quick, who was fatally shot in the head in a premeditated attack outside a Clovis McDonald's parking lot on April 23, 2025. Caleb, just weeks from high school graduation and enlisting in the Air Force as a pilot, was executed in cold blood amid a crowd of youth group kids—yet the suspects (both juveniles at the time) remain in the juvenile system due to California's Prop 57 and related laws.Stephan shares the heartbreaking details: the targeted nature of the crime, surveillance evidence, the suspects' quick arrest, and the ongoing court battles for transfer to adult criminal court (where a jury could decide). He exposes the real-world fallout of Prop 57 (passed as a "nonviolent offenders" bill but with fine-print changes making it extremely difficult—less than 5% success rate—to try violent juveniles as adults), plus AB 333 and SB 1391, which shield those 15 and under from transfer hearings entirely.Key topics include:How these laws prioritize rehabilitation over consequences and victim rights, leading to light sentences (max ~8 years in juvenile facilities, often served in half that time), no felony records, free higher education post-release, and even the ability to legally purchase firearms later.Gang exploitation of minors to commit crimes (hands stay "clean" for older members while teens gain street cred with minimal repercussions).The lack of restitution, jury trials, or true accountability in juvenile (civil) court vs. criminal court.Broader issues: recategorized crime stats creating "smoke and mirrors" on safety, desensitization to threats, and the erosion of public safety in once-safe communities like Clovis.Stephan's advocacy journey: Sacramento visits (mostly welcomed by Republicans/independents, blocked by those in power), uniting with other Central Valley families (e.g., victims like Lorenso Sanchez in Hanford and Jacob Munoz in Madera), and pushing for reforms like "Lorenzo's Law" to allow adult trials for violent juvenile offenses.Despite the pain, Stephen finds hope in faith (Caleb was a strong believer who led many friends to Christ—18 came to faith and several were baptized after his passing), community support, networking with groups like Citizens Against Homicide, and upcoming actions (e.g., April 20, 2026 protest in Sacramento with Assemblymembers like Carl DeMaio).This episode is a raw call to action for justice reform, victim rights, and restoring consequences in California. Stephen urges parents to teach situational awareness ("see something, say something") and communities to demand better.Connect & support:Facebook: Victims of Teen ViolenceFacebook: Reform 57Related efforts: Pass Lorenzo's Law / Reform Prop 57 petitionsIf you're passionate about constitutional principles, public safety, and holding violent offenders accountable—regardless of age—this is a must-listen.
