·48 min·3 clips

Goodrich says the United States last declared war on December 8, 1941, and says the Constitution already "outlines a way to war."

1. The Politics Prepping and Paranormal Podcast episode centers on The Constitution Party and Eastern States Chairman Bob Goodrich. 2. Host Jeff Moore interviews Bob Goodrich, who serves as Eastern States Chairman, a Christian school principal, and a retired Army officer. 3. The episode asks what the Constitution Party is for: a political vehicle for constitutional conservatism, pro-life politics, and resistance to the "uniparty." 4. Jeff Moore opens by criticizing Trump, the Republican Party, and "backlash and retaliation" inside GOP politics. 5. Goodrich says he spent 25 years in the Army, then became a Christian school principal and got involved after seeing a Constitution Party piece around 2010-2012. 6. He says family, God, and church shaped his conservative identity before he ever became politically active. 7. Goodrich describes the Constitution Party as a real political party, not a protest group, with the goal of running candidates. 8. He says the party believes that following the Constitution would solve most of the nation's problems. 9. He uses war powers to illustrate that claim, saying the last declaration of war was December 8, 1941. 10. He lists Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Somalia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Niger as examples of later military actions or deployments. 11. Goodrich argues that once troops are committed, Congress and the president should act through a formal declaration of war. 12. He says he served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and spent 708 days in Iraq before being wounded. 13. He says the party is "adamantly pro-life" and gives unborn children and other voiceless people a political voice. 14. He also says the party is fiscally conservative and warns that printing money leads to inflation that hurts middle- and lower-income people. 15. Goodrich uses his township supervisor work and nuisance ordinance decisions to show the tension between individual rights and government limits. 16. He describes ballot-access fights in Pennsylvania, including a 2012 signature drive that collected over 36,000 signatures but still faced challenges. 17. He says the two major parties practice "power over principle," while the Constitution Party tries to influence politics without asking the government for campaign money. 18. The interview style is conversational and policy-heavy, with Jeff Moore pressing on ballot access, candidate recruitment, and whether figures like Thomas Massie could align with the party. 19. People interested in third parties, constitutional limits, and Pennsylvania ballot politics would likely follow this closely. 20. People looking for a short, nonpolitical conversation or broad campaign coverage may skip it.

As heard by us

A plainspoken political interview that turns ballot access into a test of principle.

The episode centers on constitutional conservatism, party power, and the case for putting values ahead of advantage. It moves through ballot access in Pennsylvania, including challenged signatures and the speaker's own disallowed signature, and uses that dispute to suggest both…
