Speaker 2: about the big snow coming this weekend. Hop today's anyway

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: without further ado, and it's been too long since we talked.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: Thank you for your service to our country. Retired Marine

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: Jim Lewis one of the men behind Building Blocks for Liberty.

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: He noticed there is a huge hole in r K

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: through twelve education system because sadly, we live in the

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: United States of America and they no longer teach civics,

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: They no longer teach the Constitution, they no longer teach

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: the reason we've had a revolution against the king and

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: started our own country. Jim Lewis knew that, and that's

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: why he started Building Blocks for Liberty. Welcome back to Jim.

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: It's always a pleasure having you on the show.

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much, Brian. I really appreciate y'all

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: having me back on and I always enjoy being all

22
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: with you guys.

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: Well, you're doing great work out there in the world

24
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: and again filling that massive hole in our education system.

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I have to observe that. You know,

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: we live in the United States of America celebrating two

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty glorious years. Not perfect, I will agree,

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: but making progress better and better every single year of

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: our existence. And here we are and we don't have

30
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: a country or we live in a country where state

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: legislative bodies have to pass laws forcing K through twelve

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: education to actually incorporate civic classes into the curriculum. That's

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: that's batcrap, and saying Jim Lewis.

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: That is just sad, and it makes you wonder why

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: they're not teaching.

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: It because they're not proud of who we.

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Are, right, But we have to, you know, take what

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: we got and we're moving on with it. And we

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: work hard work trying to work with kids. I teach,

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, two days a week at a Christian homeschool

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: group now, you know, and you teach American history and

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: world history to them, and it's really great. We're now parent.

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: We've really been doing a lot of work over the

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: last year, and we're finally we're we're working with Wright

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: State University now their Civics department, and we are going

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: to be doing a boot camp up there next month,

47
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: and then we're going to also do one of our

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: we've got liberty lessons. We're going to be doing one

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: liberty lesson a month at Wright State University for the

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: rest of the year.

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's like going into isn't that going into like

52
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: occupied territory. You're sneaking behind commedy lines in order to

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: teach American political philosophy the way it should be taught.

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: I mean, how did you get your foot in the

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: door of a university, Jim Lewis. And of course building

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 2: blocks of liberty is behind the whole idea of the constitution.

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: Boot cam, we've got one coming up we're going to

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: talk about. But I mean, I would like to think

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: that Wright State is one of many down the road universities.

60
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: You're going to get this information back in the in

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: the class.

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's argued to have state man data. Of course,

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: c civics that offer an alternative voice to the students

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: and so you know, bad bless them that's getting us

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: in there. Now. We've been working with them for the

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: last ten months on you know, how do we get

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: into the end of the air. So we're actually going up,

68
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, we're doing it right on campus. It's going

69
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: to be great, Well.

70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: It will be great. And of course I'm thinking that

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: these are these are young people. They're adults if they're

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: in college for the most part. You know, I turned

73
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: eighteen as a freshman, that you see. But adults, they

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: should have already had a solid foundation in constitutional history.

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: And yet they presumably at least everything I've been reading,

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: they have been indoctrinated in this woke leftist, pro socialist,

77
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: anti American ideology. It's been steeped into the curriculum for

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: K through twelve education across this country. So you're facing,

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: perhaps and maybe not a challenge bringing about this very

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: factual information about what exactly our constitution means.

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but the words you said very factual. That's

82
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: what really helps us. And you know, we have no

83
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: fear of going in there because we're going to present

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the truth that's verifiable. Whereas when they start questioning what

85
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: they've been told, they're not going to be able to

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: verify it. So it makes it kind of easy to

87
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: change minds if they want to have an open mind

88
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: and actually want to, you know, do a little checking

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: for themselves.

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I assume, based upon your philosophy of life,

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: you you won't mind any questions in class when you're

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: teaching this on a college level either.

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: Love having questions. That's how we bruth out, that.

94
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: Is, that's where you make your points. Man. You know,

95
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: open form, ask any questions you want. You're on solid

96
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: We're on rock solid ground. That's beautiful. Exactly, so exactly

97
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: you will be expanding this and I'm focusing on this, this,

98
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: this broader expanse for building Blocks for Liberty dot org

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: because you are a five O one C three nonprofit.

100
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: But something tells me you're not the kind of five

101
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: O one C three nonprofit where you, Jim Lewis, are

102
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: making half a million dollars a year on the donations

103
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: the building Blocks for Liberty.

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh I wish No. We've been doing this now for

105
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: fifteen years and we've never taken a diamond tay any.

106
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: Of us listening audience. Did you hear that.

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: We live on donations? You know, whatever people donate to

108
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: us that is what enables us to do things, you know,

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: like go on to the Wright State University and have

110
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: enough fund so that we can buy books. Because when

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: students attend our class attend to our classes, they attend

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: for free, so we have to put the bill for them.

113
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: We pay for all their books and everything. So and

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: we don't mind doing that. But you know, donations are

115
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, really helpful to help us do that provide

116
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: booked and materials to students.

117
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: I have learned over the years, I have a very

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: very generous listening audience. When it comes to truly important

119
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: and worthy causes, they typically step up to the plate.

120
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: So I'm really going to encourage those you are listening

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: to my voice right now, building blocks for the brother

122
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: word for building blocks for liberty dot org, help them

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: out and help them spread the just the unbelievable beauty

124
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: and awesomeness of the founding documents in our country and

125
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: pivoting over You're going to be doing even doing these

126
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: constitution boot camps since twenty eleven, right, isn't it the

127
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: first year you started?

128
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: That's correct, twenty eleven when we first started doing them,

129
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: and we just keep doing them, and I think they

130
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: keep getting better and better. We keep incorporating information that

131
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: people want and they need to hear. So yeah, we're

132
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,480

178
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: your web page. You got upcoming events. You're soliciting people

179
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: out there in the world to get in touch with

180
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: you to do a boot camp.

181
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: Am I right, Yes, we do. We do. We start

182
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: doing that in November for the fall, you know, the

183
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: next year, and we continue doing it. And you know,

184
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: that's how we got the Concerned Veterans folks. And you know,

185
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: I think we start picking up other groups like that,

186
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: church groups and things like that that want us to

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: come in and you know, put on a class in

188
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: their church. You know, we look for locations that are

189
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: going to be free. You know, we to minimize our

190
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: costs and everything that we do. And sometimes the groups

191
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: are sponsoring us will actually provide the lunch, so we

192
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: don't have to you know, pay out our pockets for

193
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: that too. So it works out real nice.

194
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 2: That sure does so, church group. And I know from

195
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: your materials you even have introductory materials that, uh maybe

196
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: a parishonal parishoner can present to the pastor the church's

197
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: governing board, for example, to explain exactly what you want

198
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: to do. It kind of agreeses the skids, get your

199
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: foot in the door, and this is all a noble

200
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: noble cause. Now I got to ask you, and I

201
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: sort of half jokingly but more seriously state, I don't

202
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: think these crazy leftists that are running around screaming at

203
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: everyone all the time, I don't think they're capable of happiness.

204
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: It seems to me if you gave them everything they want,

205
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: they would still be angry and mad as hell about something.

206
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: But you talked about the seminars on pursuit of happiness

207
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: just boiled down. Jim Lewis, what what does that talk about?

208
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: What do you what do you engage in when you

209
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: do when you do those classes?

210
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Mark Burrell does the class, and like

211
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I said, he's written two books on the declaration and

212
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, pursuit of happiness that comes from the Declaration

213
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: of Independence, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And

214
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: what Mark does is he basically breaks it down. You know,

215
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: what did the founders mean when they said life, liberty

216
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. You know, he wants to

217
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: unpack the total, the full meaning from that phrase and

218
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: this connection to the freedom we enjoy when we have

219
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: these rights protected by government, which is supposed to do.

220
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: So he kind of gets into the whole thing and says,

221
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: here's what it is, here's what it means. And oh,

222
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: by the way, did you know government's supposed to protect

223
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: these rights from us? And explains goes down that road too.

224
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,479
Speaker 1: So it's really pretty full.

225
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure it is, and a lot to unpack here.

226
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: You will be doing a dive. I mean, I know

227
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: they get a copy of the folks who attend the

228
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: building blocks classes on constitution. Boot can't get the federalist papers,

229
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: but those are critical documents when you need when you're

230
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: trying to understand the Constitution itself.

231
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: Well, you know the Federalist papers. That's you know, your explanation.

232
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Here's what everybody says well, what did the founders intend

233
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: when they wrote that? Well, look at the Federalist papers.

234
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: That's what they were written for, to tell you what

235
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: their intentions were. When the Constitution was crafted and constructed

236
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia in seventeen eighty seven, James Madison, you know

237
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: called the Father of the Constitution, along with Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton,

238
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: and John Jay sat down and started answering questions being

239
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: asked by folks who came to be known as the

240
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: anti Federalists because they were asking questions saying, the Constitution

241
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: leaves the doors open for this, this, and this, and

242
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: they would answer back, no, it doesn't, and here's why,

243
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: boom boom boom. So you know, it's kind of like

244
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,239
Speaker 1: the addendum to a contract. The Constitution is a contract.

245
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: The Federal's papers in my views, like that, you know,

246
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: the addendum, the opposing lawyer answering the questions that you

247
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: know the other person's asking about what the contract says.

248
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: So you've got to have the Federal's papers and you've

249
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: got to know how to use them. And that's what

250
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: we teach is what are in the federals papers and

251
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: how do you use them in connection with the Constitution.

252
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: We teach that in this class.

253
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: It's like an appendix to the Constitution, s like a

254
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: definition or a bibliography that goes along with it. Exactly

255
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: building blocks Celebrity Constitution boot Camp. It's the informations on

256
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: my blog page V do you five car sea dot Com?

257
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,440

258
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: hoping to best serve by for folks attending the class.

259
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean, is there a cutoff like I don't want

260
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: anybody over the age of twenty or something? Or is

261
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: it all comers? What's what's your focus? What's your rope?

262
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: All comers?

263
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: All comers? I wouldn't bring kids younger than ten or

264
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: twelve because they're going to get bored.

265
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: That fair enough statement managing expectations.

266
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Twelve we're over y'all, come.
