WEBVTT - Establishment Day

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>US Constitution limits the role of government in everyday life.

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>The founders of this country realized that the natural tendency

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of human beings with power is tyranny. They knew it.

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>They realized it. They built in checks and balances to

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>assure that we didn't go tyranny, that if we did,

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>it was going to take a long time to pull

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it off. They knew what human nature was, they had

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>studied it from the beginning of time. And it is

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>truthful to say that the natural tendency of people with

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>political power is tyranny. That is what is so miraculous

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>about our country. We've been around two hundred plus years

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and we have had a piece of paper, essentially the

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Constitution that everybody has sworn allegiance and fealty to. Amazingly,

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it would have in not difficult at all to rip

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>it up at any time in the past two years.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>There have been people that tried, there have been people

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that wanted to, but in the end we somehow, and

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's because we are a nation blessed by God.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>We have survived where other people on this planet have not.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Something about the sheer, raw decency, goodness of power as

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>defined and expressed in our Constitution has intimidated even the

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>worst of bad actors in leaving it alone until now.

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Now we have arrived at the moment where the Constitution

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>no longer frightens the people behind Joe Biden. The Constitution

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>no longer threatens them. The Constitution no longer intimidates the

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>You know why, because they believe that a significant portion

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of American people have no idea what the Constitution says.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>They believe that the majority of American people have no

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>idea what the Constitution is about. They believe a majority

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of Americans have no idea what the Bill of Rights is.

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>If you don't know what the Bill of Rights is,

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>then how can you be upset over losing it? And

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to a point, they are right, we do have because

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>of so much ignorance in our education system. We have

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 1>literally lost the education system. Pop culture
