004: A Path to Constitutional Reform
In this episode, we explore the Convention of States movement, a push to use Article V of the Constitution to propose amendments, bypassing Congress. With 19 states already on board, the movement seeks to limit federal power, impose term limits, and enforce fiscal responsibility.

We discuss the movement’s growing momentum, backed by influential figures like Vice President J.D. Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson. The Trump administration’s support introduces a fascinating dynamic, challenging traditional political alignments and forcing broader debate.

Supporters argue that constitutional amendments offer lasting structural change, unlike reversible executive orders or legislation. Education is a key focus, with figures like Professor Randy Barnett advocating for a return to the Constitution's original principles. Grassroots efforts and programs like Patriot Academy equip citizens to engage in this movement actively.

However, the movement faces challenges, including fears of a runaway convention, partisan accusations, and logistical hurdles. Proponents emphasize safeguards like requiring 38 states to ratify amendments, ensuring broad national consensus.

This conversation dives into both the promise and complexity of the Convention of States, raising questions about restoring balance in government, the feasibility of such a convention, and its potential impact on the nation’s future.
