  Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
• 0:15
  This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engel.
• 0:30
  John Jay famously said that everyone needed to read the study of the Constitution so that they could defend their own rights.
• 0:38
  More and more, it seems the American people are handing over their thinking to others.
• 0:44
  Hello there, everyday Americans.
• 0:45
  Paul Engel here with the Constitution Study, where we read instead of the Constitution, teacherizing generation be free.
• 0:51
  Glad you could join me today.
• 0:52
  This idea of handing over our thought processes, handing over our thinking, and by extension, the defense of our rights is nothing new.
• 1:00
  This has been going on for decades, possibly centuries.
• 1:05
  Quote John Jay accurately said, every member of the state ought diligently to read and study the constitution of his country, teach the rising generation to be free.
• 1:14
  By knowing their rights, they'll sooner perceive when they are violated and be the better prepared to defend and assert them.
• 1:19
  That means it's your job to defend and assert your rights and to prepare to do so.
• 1:25
  It's my job to defend and assert my rights.
• 1:27
  But again, it seems like more and more people are handing over their thinking to others.
• 1:32
  They're expecting others to defend their rights.
• 1:36
  And I start with uh actually a poll by a law firm.
• 1:41
  Uh it's uh Columbo, Columagro Gorro Law.
• 1:45
  I'm sorry, I'm probably butchering the name.
• 1:47
  They did an interesting survey of 1,000 adults throughout the United States, and uh they found some interesting information.
• 1:56
  First, they found that 40 2% would use AI before contacting a lawyer.
• 2:03
  Now, I I look at this and say, well, maybe okay, maybe not.
• 2:10
  All right, it's one thing is you know, listen, I'm not sure.
• 2:13
  And before I pay a lawyer, I'd like to get some information to decide if and how I would like to proceed.
• 2:21
  The problem is, okay, you're trusting AI.
• 2:24
  If you're letting AI decide uh uh how to do something, how do you trust the the AI?
• 2:32
  Now, uh similar 42% would trust AI to help them prep questions for a lawyer.
• 2:38
  Again, okay, uh, you know, I'm I'm gonna I don't know what to ask.
• 2:44
  I want to be prepared.
• 2:46
  Maybe I'm using AI, but again, that means you're trusting AI to think for you.
• 2:52
  Now, 24% said they don't trust AI with any legal tasks, meaning I'm not letting them anywhere AI anywhere near this legal information.
• 3:02
  And again, because I deal with the Constitution, by that extension, I deal with laws.
• 3:08
  I look at this and say, you know, it's uh AI is a tool.
• 3:14
  And like any tool, it's only as good as its maker.
• 3:19
  So, you know, which AI do you trust with legal advice?
• 3:24
  But then as I sit and think about it, do you trust a lawyer?
• 3:27
  Why do you trust?
• 3:28
  How do you know if you can trust the lawyer?
• 3:30
  How do you know if you've got a lawyer's giving you good advice or not good advice?
• 3:36
  And what is it based on?
• 3:38
  And this comes for again.
• 3:40
  I have to deal with lawyers, not thankfully, not that often, but I at least have a basic understanding of my rights that I bring to the question when I'm dealing with with attorneys, and I wonder how many people don't.
• 3:54
  And they'd simply believe, you know, whatever AI would tell them.
• 3:59
  Because another interesting number was 45% of the respondents said they were comfortable sharing sensitive personal details with AI.
• 4:11
  Now, that one I don't know if it scares me.
• 4:14
  I I'm afraid for these people.
• 4:16
  Because, you know, I don't I shred every document that has my name and uh and address on it.
• 4:23
  Everyone.
• 4:24
  Uh uh I don't let them out in the public because of the the ability to use it for uh uh you know, someone impersonating me, right?
• 4:34
  Yet you're willing to share all sorts of personal details with an AI, which is a computer system, which administrators have access to all of that data, which means you just handed your personal information over to Google to X to Open AI.
• 4:51
  You are sharing personal information that could not only be used to uh impersonate you, but can be used to manipulate you in advertising and other uh forms.
• 5:04
  So it's it's like we think of a of a there are a significant percentage of people who apparently think of AI as a trusted pseudo person.
• 5:14
  That scares me.
• 5:16
  Now, just over half, 51% said they would be fine with a lawyer using AI.
• 5:22
  Well, if the lawyer is just using AI, what do I need the lawyer for?
• 5:27
  Just point me at the AI and I'll ask the questions myself.
• 5:30
  Now, maybe the lawyer will form the questions better in their response.
• 5:34
  Uh, you know, maybe those what they're using is the AI to do what we used to call boilerplate, right?
• 5:40
  You'd have a contract, it was a boilerplate contract where you just filled in the details.
• 5:45
  Maybe that's what they're using it for.
• 5:46
  But again, if that's all there is, what do you need a lawyer for?
• 5:50
  Now, 60% said that the lawyer should always disclose when they've used AI.
• 5:56
  Um, which, okay, that's that seems like a pretty decent idea.
• 6:01
  But only 31% of Gen Zers would rely solely on a free AI for advice for a simple legal need.
• 6:10
  So roughly a third would say, and uh again, it's a tool.
• 6:15
  It's a it's a research tool, but it's a it's it's a tool.
• 6:18
  So you go in and say, hey, uh, you know, what are the laws about this?
• 6:22
  Or or how should I draft a will or something like that?
• 6:26
  It's the question is is this implicit trust we have people have shown in these artificial these imitation intelligences, right?
• 6:35
  Because I know they're called artificial intelligence, but they're really uh uh impersonation.
• 6:40
  They're trying to impersonate um the intelligence of a human being.
• 6:45
  Some do better than others.
• 6:48
  Now, does that mean there's never a time when you can use AI?
• 6:51
  Well, no, as long as you recognize what it is.
• 6:55
  AI is really no better than asking your buddy a question, right?
• 6:59
  They have access to a tremendous amount of information, but they've been trained to focus on certain things.
• 7:06
  And uh it's you know, maybe it can give you some ideas of where to think of next.
• 7:12
  Um, you know, I I maybe you can analogize it to the Constitution Study Wizard, where I make suggestions and expect you to follow up.
• 7:21
  But I see more and more people that simply trust the information they're getting out of AI, even with all the evidence showing how off and biased it is.
• 7:30
  And it's not just in the legal realm.
• 7:34
  Uh NBC News did a poll, and uh one of the questions they asked was uh how frequently would you use one of the popular AI tools, right?
• 7:44
  Chat GPT, Google's Gemini, Microsoft Copilot.
• 7:48
  Um and overall, less than half, 44% of U.S.
• 7:52
  adults surveyed said they use tools like like those either sometimes or very often.
• 8:00
  Well, 50%, 56% say they used it rarely or never.
• 8:05
  So they're being used again, uh looks like you know, roughly half use them sometimes or very often.
• 8:13
  And again, these large language models, right?
• 8:17
  They're not simply AIs.
• 8:18
  These are what you call large language models.
• 8:19
  They're designed to respond to your questions and um to understand what you're saying and then search for response.
• 8:28
  Um, and uh the NBC News article goes through a political breakdown of all that, but um uh it's it's interesting.
• 8:38
  Uh, some of the numbers that came out.
• 8:40
  Uh, for example, uh 44% of American adults said that uh they believed AI would make their lives better and their family lives much better or somewhat better.
• 8:52
  So they're expecting AI to make their lives better.
• 8:55
  Um said they it would make their lives much better.
• 9:00
  So people are expecting AI to do that.
• 9:03
  Well, 42% thought that AI would make their lives somewhat worse or much worse.
• 9:10
  And again, this gets into an interesting phenomena that I have seen.
• 9:15
  And I'm gonna have to go back to a little bit of my IT background.
• 9:19
  See, one of the things we do with computers is we automate processes.
• 9:24
  Right.
• 9:25
  So something you used to do by hand, you can now automate.
• 9:30
  The problem with that, or I should say the downside with that is by automating a skill, you remove the skill from the skill set, right?
• 9:40
  For example, when I was a kid, um, you know, calculators were not allowed in school.
• 9:45
  You had to do the math by hand, right?
• 9:47
  Add, subtraction, multiplication, division, all those were basic math skills that you had to learn to do by hand.
• 9:55
  Nowadays, then they started introducing calculators.
• 9:58
  Of course, calculators allowed you to do.
• 10:00
  Work faster.
• 10:01
  It allowed you to do more complex math in less time, but it also led to a decreasing skill, not simply doing the ability to do math in your head, the ability to make change.
• 10:16
  I've noticed this for decades.
• 10:18
  As people have become more dependent on calculators, they lost the ability to simply calculate change.
• 10:26
  Used to be, you know, you walked into a grocery store or convenience store, you bought something, you handed them money, and the and the clerk would count out the change.
• 10:33
  When I worked at a truck stop, I calculated the change when I would give change for somebody.
• 10:39
  As the as a cash register starting telling you what the change should be, people lost the ability to calculate change.
• 10:48
  You take that to the next level as people become dependent on AI.
• 10:51
  Again, AI can give you access to information.
• 10:54
  I should say AI can be used to access information you otherwise wouldn't have.
• 10:59
  So many of our search engines now have AI built into them.
• 11:02
  It's getting harder to distinguish between a pure search and an AI powered search.
• 11:08
  But the idea is you gain access to it, but you lose the ability to do that research for yourself.
• 11:14
  Again, when I was a kid, if you wanted to find a book in the library, you went to the library, a physical library, you learned to use the card catalog to find the book where the book was stored, so you could go check it out and read it.
• 11:31
  Nowadays, if you're looking for a book, you go to Google Books and you type in the book title, and there's the book right in front of you.
• 11:38
  And we we kind of lose these skills, the atrophy.
• 11:43
  And I wonder how far this is going to go.
• 11:51
  And to reason out in a situation that we hadn't prepared for.
• 12:08
  It apparently got confused and actually blocked the street, preventing emergency vehicles from getting to the mass murder at the bar in Austin.
• 12:22
  Now, I'm not sure what happened with the Waymo car, but I've got I've got the posts on X that show it literally direct perpendicular to the street.
• 12:32
  It's blocking the street and it's not moving.
• 12:35
  Again, I don't know why.
• 12:37
  I don't know if it was stuck, if if it uh uh if its logic had a problem, um, it hurt emergency vehicles and came to a stop, not realizing it was causing the block.
• 12:48
  I don't know why.
• 12:50
  Right?
• 12:50
  I'm I'm someone's gonna have to look at the at the neural net and figure out where this thing made the decision to stop rather than get out of the way.
• 13:00
  But again, a human being, you would think, well, let's see, there's an emergency vehicle.
• 13:05
  I can I have to comprehend that I have to get out of the way.
• 13:08
  I can't I don't nearly me to stop.
• 13:10
  I need to stop in a place where I'm not blocking the emergency vehicle.
• 13:14
  And for whatever reason, this Waymo didn't do this.
• 13:18
  Now, I want you to think of it this way.
• 13:21
  Imagine a loved one has had a serious illness or injury and is in a hospital rushing to the or is in the ambulance, rushing to the hospital when some driverless car gets confused and gets set up, locked up in some logic loop and refuses by itself to move out of the way.
• 13:40
  In fact, what ended up happening is a police officer had to get into the vehicle and manually move it out of the way.
• 13:48
  I don't know how much of a delay this is, but it makes me wonder how willing are we to give over the ability to drive?
• 13:57
  I mean, people talk about you know uh driverless cars and and all the advantages they can bring.
• 14:02
  And there are advantages, but there are costs as well.
• 14:06
  There are things we have we're gonna give up in doing this.
• 14:09
  Um, we may give up more people that actually know how to drive a car.
• 14:14
  Uh, we're gonna give up people who uh are paying attention while the the driverless car and may be oblivious to a danger they're be they're being run into.
• 14:24
  You know, have you how many of you have been in the passenger seat of a vehicle and the driver is driving in such a way that they're like they're coming up to just to to a stop traffic or a stop light?
• 14:35
  And you're basically you're looking for the brake pedal because you're uncomfortable with how fast they're approaching the the incident.
• 14:44
  Well, what happens when we don't even think about that anymore?
• 14:47
  Because we just let the computers do all the driving.
• 14:50
  We let the artificial intelligence do all the work.
• 14:53
  Is this a view of our future when we stop thinking and let others think for us?
• 15:01
  In this case, computers think for us.
• 15:04
  What have what do what do we lose besides you know the beyond the we lose the ability?
• 15:09
  Are we losing the ability to think, to respond, to cognate on our own?
• 15:14
  Is that a potential problem when we start turning things like legal questions to uh uh to AI and do we analyze them and how do we analyze them?
• 15:26
  What are the analyzing them against?
• 15:28
  Uh when we turn over, you know, medical questions to AI.
• 15:32
  How many people have have done a medical search?
• 15:35
  You know, they have a set of symptoms and they use an AI or some other search in order to figure out um what we should do.
• 15:44
  Is this serious or not?
• 15:46
  What happens when we stop thinking and depending on others and simply decide to ask the computer because it's quicker and easier?
• 15:54
  You know, this is not simply I'm going to the self-checkout because it's quicker and I don't have to deal with people.
• 16:01
  This may be at some point someone's life on the line while dealing with these pesky little AIs that run into a situation they're not prepared for.
• 16:12
  Now, I have a break coming up, so I gotta step out for it before I go, you know, thinking of are we prepared?
• 16:18
  Are you prepared for emergencies?
• 16:20
  You know, when COVID-19 hit and and there are certain medications you couldn't get anymore.
• 16:25
  Uh or maybe it's just uh first aid.
• 16:28
  Maybe it's it's you know, you're driving down the road and you you come across an accident.
• 16:32
  What are you gonna do?
• 16:34
  You proper preparation prevents poor performance.
• 16:36
  Now, personally, I have a first aid kit and a trauma kit in my home in my car.
• 16:42
  Are you prepared?
• 16:43
  Our friends at the wellness company have put together a level of emergency kits that goes beyond.
• 16:48

• 20:51
  Welcome back, everyday Americans to rejoin the constitution study.
• 20:54
  And today we've been talking about protecting our rights by thinking for ourselves, learning to think, learning to understand, learning to process.
• 21:03
  And uh we I've talked in the first time a lot about AI, because I see so many people simply handing their thinking over to AI, thinking, oh, it's magic, it's perfect.
• 21:13
  It's and that leads to a lot of problems.
• 21:15
  I don't have a problem with with AI, which is actually II, imitation intelligence.
• 21:20
  I don't have a problem with itself.
• 21:21
  I have a concern and a problem of people who simply turn over their reasoning to this uh the this collection of gadgets.
• 21:30
  But if you think about it, this is simply the latest iteration of this.
• 21:37
  Let me put some context.
• 21:38
  My father died last year, and my sister and I held his medical proxy.
• 21:44
  So uh at the end of his life, it was up to my sister and I to make medical decisions for our father.
• 21:50
  And it it long involved story.
• 21:53
  One of the things that was extremely important is knowing what's going on and understand so you can understand how to um to deal with it, how to process it.
• 22:07
  How do you do you make these decisions?
• 22:09
  Because let's face it, you know, doctors come in and they ramble a bunch of stuff, and this doctor says one thing, this doctor says another.
• 22:16
  The reason I bring this up is we're I'm gonna talk about the American Medical Association.
• 22:22
  This is not a government entity, it's not a government agency, it's a private organization that was designed to help well, as I understand it, spread information amongst the medical community.
• 22:33
  It was a situation where they could they could um look at at studies and reports and disseminate information so that doctors could learn what was going on.
• 22:45
  Uh sadly, in many cases, this though became more of an advocacy group than an actual uh uh evaluation and dis information dissemination group.
• 22:57
  This comes up because uh the Alabama Attorney General, Steve Marshall is become one of some 20 attorneys general that are trying to pressure the American Medical Association to stop supporting the use of puberty blockers in uh in minors.
• 23:19
  Now, again, this is important because most of us don't have a medical degree, we haven't studied medicine, we don't have all the the knowledge and the details.
• 23:28
  We look toward experts, but we forget that an expert opinion is still only an opinion until there's evidence, until there's proof.
• 23:37
  Now, the the uh these attorneys general praise the AMA when they concurred with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that these these quote-unquote sex chain surgeries, these this cosmetic surgery, there was no clear evidence that it was beneficial for minors.
• 23:55
  Now the attorneys general are trying to get the AMA to say, let's also not advise puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones for these young people with a mental disorder and a misunderstanding of their body.
• 24:11
  I bring this to forever because let's face it, there have been examples in the news of young people who felt pressured into these hormones and puberty blockers and surgery, sometimes by medical professionals.
• 24:27
  There was a young lady who just won a two million dollar lawsuit against her doctor for not only pressuring her to be to get uh uh uh the surgery, but for basically telling our parents that if they didn't approve the surgery, their daughter would die, right?
• 24:42
  The the again, bald face lie, and she won.
• 24:46
  And we're seeing more and more of these coming up.
• 24:48
  We're seeing more and more detransitioners.
• 24:50
  But I wonder how many of us simply listened to the doctor and never actually pushed back.
• 24:58
  You know, when I was my sister and I were dealing with my father, they would come to us with things and and we had questions, and and frequently we ended up pushing back.
• 25:07
  Why this treatment and not that treatment?
• 25:10
  Why are you not doing this?
• 25:12
  We don't understand.
• 25:13
  Explain to us why you want to do this, but you won't do this.
• 25:17
  And there was there was a lot of that.
• 25:19
  And I am so thankful that my father had not one, not one, but two advocates willing to stand up in this end of life where where you know he was not able to make these decisions for himself, that he had two people to stand up and fight from.
• 25:37
  And I'm heartbroken by the number of people I saw where I didn't see people showing up to help them.
• 25:46
  You know, my we were there with my father every day.
• 25:49
  My sister, myself, his stepdaughter, his wife, his stepsons, people were showing up every day in order to see them and be with him, but it still fell on my sister and myself to know what was going on.
• 26:03
  We were kept informed, we were making decisions.
• 26:07
  And I wonder how many people simply said, Well, the doctor said, and the doctors regurgitate what the AMA said, and I wonder if anybody's actually looked at the science and data and said, um, you know what?
• 26:18
  Maybe maybe we're not entirely right here.
• 26:22
  And I definitely believe we need to learn to stand up for what we for our own for ourselves, right?
• 26:29
  Just because someone says something, just because they're quote unquote expert doesn't mean we need to follow along.
• 26:35
  Which brings me to this uh young lady.
• 26:38
  She's a sophomore at uh new Richmond School District, and she was speaking at the school board meeting.
• 26:46
  My name is Lucy Windows, sophomore school.
• 26:49
  I'm the oldest of four girls in my day when I'm also an happy, and I'm here today to share my concern as a student and at the animal.
• 26:57
  The thought of a biological male and moving bathroom and locker room is frightening me.
• 27:01
  The bathroom in the locker room is a very private place for me to be able to feel safe without the fear of a male rendering.
• 27:07
  It's a very vulnerable space.
• 27:08
  And girls of this age especially have hard enough time changing it from their peers for teenage.
• 27:13
  I realize that the local school work must operate under the law and that this change would have to be made under a higher level.
• 27:19
  But now it needs to be discussed in address is what we can what can be done right now to fight the safety and privacy of hundreds of students, as well as the safety of students that identify as a gender other than their biological.
• 27:32
  Quincy, this in my mind, this was excellent, right?
• 27:35
  Because again, you're bringing forward a serious concern.
• 27:39
  Um, the this the fear of being in a bathroom or locker room with a with a male, with a man or a boy.
• 27:47
  Uh recognizing that young ladies have a lot of body uh image issues that even changing in front of other females, other girls, it can be can be difficult, and you add a man to the to a boy to the list, it gets real interesting.
• 28:02
  But I love the fact that listen, what do we do now?
• 28:05
  I understand you have to follow laws.
• 28:07
  What do we do now to protect not just me and other girls, but even people who are confused about their gender?
• 28:15
  According to the National International Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 43% of women experience some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime.
• 28:23
  Approximately one in five women in a US reporting and repeated repeated or at some point in the life.
• 28:30
  The majority of these female victims first experienced such victimization early in life with an 81% reporting that it first occurred prior to the age 25.
• 28:39
  And a monkey seemed 43% recorded that it first occurred prior to the age.
• 28:46
  It's easy to talk about shared vulnerable spaces until an incident occurs.
• 28:50
  How will you monitor which magnet to use the girl's bathroom?
• 28:53
  And do you have a way to say no to the ones that have the wrong motives for wanting to enter my high safety?
• 29:00
  Again, this is the maturity of this young lady.
• 29:03
  She's understanding there are people who are confused.
• 29:06
  And there may be people who have no ill will, right?
• 29:10
  They they they've got a a they don't have wrong motives for wanting to enter the girls' bathroom.
• 29:18
  Uh, but how do you stop those that do have wrong motives?
• 29:23
  I was having a uh a comment discussion uh online again when you talk about rights, and a person cannot use their rights to infringe on the rights of another.
• 29:32
  So when you talk about this situation, a boy that thinks he's a girl can't use that right to infringe on a girl's right to be safe in a in an intimate space like a bathroom or a locker room.
• 29:45
  One biological man can go into the women's areas designated for privacy.
• 29:50
  That space is no longer risky by the state of life and a hard.
• 29:55
  Outside of the price independent safety violations, the burden should not be shoulder by the
• 30:01
  And she's right.
• 30:02
  If the majority of people recognize the difference between male and female, they should not be told, nope, sorry, because this extremely small minority doesn't believe that the majority shouldn't be forced to comply with the wishes.
• 30:18
  They don't get to establish reality.
• 30:19
  They don't get to establish truth.
• 30:22
  And again, this is a young lady, a sophomore in high school who is standing up and defending her own rights and the rights of her siblings, the rights of her friends, the rights of other school students, other females in school.
• 30:37
  I applaud her for the stand because in that school district, it seems the people who are supposed to be protecting them apparently have failed.
• 30:47
  They think it's their job to protect the minority at the expense of the majority, using the alleged rights of the minority to infringe on the rights of the majority.
• 30:59
  Again, I applaud her for standing up and doing so in such a way as to not demean her opposition, but simply to uh express her her desires to be safe and to feel safe in an intimate place.
• 31:17
  And uh here's another example.
• 31:19
  So do you remember the case Mahmood v.
• 31:21
  Taylor?
• 31:21
  It was the Supreme Court case where uh parents um led by uh Ms.
• 31:28
  Mahmood um sued the school district because they were not allowed to opt out of LGBTQ story time, right?
• 31:36
  That the school said no, you cannot protect your children from this perverted lifestyle.
• 31:43
  Uh we get to decide, and uh you know the answer is no, we're not even gonna tell you what's gonna happen.
• 31:49
  Um, you have to follow our rules.
• 31:51
  And of course, it went all the way up to the Supreme Court.
• 31:54
  And the Supreme Court said no, parents have a right to control the upbringing of their children, their religious upbringing, and their educational upbringing.
• 32:04
  And they ref referred the case back down to lower court in order to get a to get it finally settled.
• 32:11
  Well, that settlement has happened.
• 32:14
  The Montgomery County Public School, the largest district in the state, is ordered to pay 1.5 million dollars to those parents who are not allowed to opt their children out of the story time.
• 32:27
  This is according to the family's attorney.
• 32:30
  Uh, senior counsel Eric Beckett made a statement where he said, public schools nationwide are on notice.
• 32:36
  Running roughshod over parents' rights and religious freedom isn't just illegal, it's costly.
• 32:42
  This settlement enforces the Supreme Court ruling and ensures parents, not government bureaucrats, had the final say in how their children are raised.
• 32:51
  I'd point out that it's not a ruling, it was an opinion of the court, but I agree.
• 32:55
  This is this is the the that pivot point that that inflection point where parents' rights were not only recognized legally, but civilly.
• 33:07
  And there's a punishment for denying parents their rights to to control the upbringing of their children.
• 33:16
  Now, again, this would not have happened if there wasn't a small handful of parents that looked at the at the experts and said, No, you don't get to decide.
• 33:28
  That's my child, not your child.
• 33:31
  That stood up and said, you know, I'm not going to turn over my thinking to a bureaucrat or an agency or a school district.
• 33:38
  It's mine.
• 33:40
  My decision, I will make it and I will stand up for it.
• 33:43
  And again, this is why I think John Jay told us to read and study the constitution, not only to recognize when our rights are being violated, but so that we'll have the tools to defend and assert our rights and do so legally, properly.
• 33:57
  It's the fundamental idea here behind the constitution study, so that people will read instead of the constitution so that when their rights are violated, not if when their rights are violated, they're prepared.
• 34:10
  They're prepared to bring forth a court case to bring the facts and evidence of the violations of the rights.
• 34:18
  Even if I disagreed with some how how some of the uh uh attorneys in this case crafted their their message, or be a teenager that's willing to stand up in front of a school board and said, Your job is to protect us, all of us, not just the small minority that can't tell the difference between male and female, that don't realize that biology doesn't change just because you think it does.
• 34:42
  There need to be people, and interesting stat, most people may know that during the revolutionary war, roughly a third of the colonists uh were wanted to remain British subjects.
• 34:56
  Roughly a third wanted to be independent, and roughly a third really didn't care much one way or the other, just leave them alone.
• 35:04
  That was but the interesting fact is they're actually only three percent of the colonists that actually fought for independence.
• 35:13
  Three percent.
• 35:15
  It's interesting what a small number of people can do, especially when those few people get get seen and people decide to follow what they're doing.
• 35:28
  Don't turn your thinking over to an AI.
• 35:31
  Think and learn to stand up for what's right for your rights, for the rights of your family, for the rights of your neighbors.
• 35:39
  And then when you do so, be prepared for other people to come alongside to to support you.
• 35:48
  It may not be the majority of people that actually come alongside, but you can still do a lot when you've got your rights and the constitution on your side.
• 35:57
  Now, I have another break coming up before I go, though.
• 36:00
  You know, I talk about rights being under attack, not just by by governments and school boards, but by some of these AI uh uh, you know, AI generated content by this drive, you know, people that that are trying to tell people you you don't have the right to speak freely.
• 36:18
  You don't have the right to be upset about a boy and a girl's locker room, or you're not allowed to to contend that uh LGBT story time is not proper for children.
• 36:29
  You're not allowed to do that.
• 36:31
  So our rights are under attack by these groups, many of which get funding through corporations you may be doing business with.
• 36:38
  So don't fund those who are attacking our right to live free.

  Welcome back, everyday American Jewry joined the Constitution study.
• 41:01
  And we've been talking about protecting your rights and uh doing it yourself rather than letting somebody else to it, but I think it's time for uh an Iran update.
• 41:09
  All right, again, this is not a news program, but a couple of items have popped up that I think are worth looking at.
• 41:16
  Uh, I want to start with with this.
• 41:18
  Um information's coming out about the intel that uh led to the attack and some of the history of the attack.
• 41:29
  Now, again, probably been old enough to remember the um the the second Iraq war, and you know, intel kind of got a bad name, you know, weapons of mass destruction and all that.
• 41:40
  Now, part for what I understand, what I've picked up so far from a bunch of different stories is Trump actually wanted to attack Iran back in January.
• 41:48
  That uh when it became quite clear that they were negotiating in bad faith, that he wanted to initiate military options.
• 41:56
  However, the military leader said, listen, our pieces are not in place.
• 42:01
  We don't have enough offensive uh pieces there, defensive, we're not ready yet.
• 42:08
  And so that was part of the delay, but there was also intelligence that came in that Israel was preparing their own attack on Iran.
• 42:20
  And uh basically uh Trump said, okay, now that we got our policy in place, um, we're going to initiate with in with Israel this attack on Iran, Operation Epic Fury.
• 42:37
  Now, this is what uh I guess they call a decapit a decapitation attack.
• 42:42
  It was focused on the leadership of Iran, it's been focused on their ability to retaliate their uh uh missile uh launchers, right?
• 42:51
  Because you know what a missile is without a launcher, a static bomb, a bomb that doesn't move, right?
• 42:56
  So it's been focused on that, it's been focused on the drones.
• 42:59
  That has been the focus of of the uh the campaign so far.
• 43:05
  Now that doesn't mean there are still people questioning the the the imminent threat to the United States, and uh that's an interesting because that word imminent, I mean it's urgent, it's gonna happen quickly.
• 43:17
  Um how quickly?
• 43:20
  How quickly is quickly enough to initiate military action?
• 43:24
  Of course, the question that really comes up is under the war powers act that the the president is required when possible to notify Congress before initiating uh military action.
• 43:37
  Um, but the question then becomes is okay, when possible, was it possible to do so without compromising the mission itself?
• 43:47
  Now I heard from another source, and this is not an uh not a uh let's say an official notification, but one of the interesting things is back in in 1981, right?
• 43:58
  When Ronald Reagan took office, right?
• 44:01
  It's because in the 1980 campaign, he basically said that if the hostages were still in Iran when he took office, the bombing would initiate, which is why the 444 hostages were released pretty much before he took office.
• 44:17
  But he wanted to go after the Iranian regime for their actions, and he really couldn't get buy-in from the Europeans.
• 44:26
  That was the explanation of what I heard from a let's just say a former military commander that apparent appeared to have access to the to information that would make this true.
• 44:37
  So this has been this is nothing new.
• 44:39
  This has been going on since 1980s.
• 44:43
  So now then we have Trump and Israel and they were coordinating on this.
• 44:49
  And again, how imminent, you know, how long would it take um Iran to enrich their uranium from the 60% that they had to the 95%, 90, 95% that would be considered weapons grade?
• 45:05
  How long would they need to actually build a missile with a bomb on it with a nuclear bomb on it?
• 45:14
  And how confident are people in the estimates of how long it would take?
• 45:19
  Because I I go back to this question of imminent, and you think about it.
• 45:23
  What would have happened if Ronald Reagan back in the early 80s had been able to take out the uh the government leadership that kidnapped and took hostage or allowed the kidnapping and taking hostage and refusing to punish the kidnappers of American diplomats?
• 45:45
  If that had been it, was you say, well, it wasn't imminent, right?
• 45:48
  You're almost 50 years later, and we're still dealing with a lot of the same problem.
• 45:52
  Not our diplomats, but a an uh an Iranian government that is a threat to its neighbors and a threat to the United States.
• 46:01
  How close before we're going to deal with the problem?
• 46:03
  I don't know.
• 46:05
  I don't have all the answers because I don't have all the information.
• 46:08
  But that's part of what I heard as far as the Intel.
• 46:12
  Um United States was Trump wanted to do this months ago.
• 46:16
  They waited until they couldn't initiate the attack until they had the right pieces in place.
• 46:21
  By that time they found out that Israel was going to initiate attack.
• 46:24
  And as I understand it, some even claim that Israel was wanted to wait, and it was actually Trump that said, no, we're going now.
• 46:33
  So you can go with us or not, and they decided to go to go with us.
• 46:37
  Now, like any military action, people are going to be hurt and people are going to be killed.
• 46:44
  Um, of course, we had what five F-15s that were shot down accidentally by friendly fire.
• 46:49
  All the pilots ejected and we're safe.
• 46:52
  That's good.
• 46:54
  But there's gonna be people are gonna die.
• 46:56
  It's it's the nature of the beast.
• 46:58
  Here's the interesting thing is this happened in Karachi, Pakistan.
• 47:04
  Protesters uh in Karachi were attempting to uh well to storm the U.S.
• 47:11
  consulate in Karachi.
• 47:13
  Um security forces, Pakistani security forces apparently um, well, they they confronted these protesters, left 22 dead and another 120 injured, um, as these demonstrators in support of the Iranian government um went after the U.S.
• 47:35
  consulate in Pakistan.
• 47:38
  So what we're seeing here is again, other countries are not happy.
• 47:42
  I don't know, doesn't appear to have been the official position of the Pakistani government since it was their security forces that confronted these protesters, but it does bring up an interesting question here in the homeland.
• 47:55
  If this was a group of violent demonstrators that were willing to attack the U.S.
• 48:00
  consulate uh in response to the killing of Khomeini, could there be similar cells within the United States?
• 48:08
  And if so, well, they're obviously not going to go after, you know, we don't have embassies or consulates in our own country, but what other entities could they go after?
• 48:17
  And would they necessarily be directly related to the government, or could they possibly be um civilian targets, soft targets?
• 48:28
  And are you prepared to defend your rights should something like this happen?
• 48:34
  Oh, have you have you thought about it?
• 48:35
  Made proper preparation.
• 48:37
  Um, are you near an area that's more likely to be a target or not?
• 48:41
  Um, yeah, are you near maybe colleges, universities, state houses, other places?
• 48:46
  Have you made contingencies with your family so that if something happens, you can notify them, let you know if you're safe or not.
• 48:54
  Um, you know, these are the types of things that it's part of the in my mind, the preparation of protecting our rights is being prepared to react when something happens that we may not see it as a direct attack on our rights, but it probably is.
• 49:11
  For example, my daughter recently, she went on a trip, and this this trip meant um, I don't want to get into details, but there was a we were concerned for her safety.
• 49:22
  So, what did we do?
• 49:23
  We set up a regular schedule of communication so that we would know she's okay.
• 49:29
  I mean, my my daughter's a smart girl.
• 49:32
  I didn't anticipate there'd be a problem, but we set up that contingency just in case that idea.
• 49:40
  Proper preparation prevents poor performance.
• 49:44
  So as you consider, hey, there may be attacks on U.S.
• 49:49
  soil of people in support of the Iranian dictatorship and uh uh Ayatollah Khamenei.
• 49:57
  Are you prepared for that possibility?
• 50:00
  Have you considered what you would do?
• 50:02
  Do you have uh escape routes?
• 50:04
  Do you have plans?
• 50:06
  Do you have the ability to meet up?
• 50:08
  These are how we protect our rights when there are people out there that whose demonstrations go beyond peaceful assembly, right?
• 50:16
  You want to have a peaceful assembly and you know, praise Kameini and say what the United States did was wrong and evil and criminal.
• 50:25
  As long as it's peaceful and you don't infringe on the rights of others, be my guest.
• 50:31
  That you have the legal right to do so.
• 50:32
  It's protected by the Constitution.
• 50:35
  But when you go beyond that, when you go beyond the peaceable, when you become violent, when you begin infringing on the rights of others, well, that's when those others have the right to push back.
• 50:48
  I say they have.
• 50:49
  Yes, police are there to help you.
• 50:52
  They should be there to support you.
• 50:54
  But first responders are not the police or the fire department.
• 50:58
  The first responders, the first people there are often individuals.
• 51:02
  And are you prepared?
• 51:04
  Have you considered?
• 51:05
  Have you taken steps?
• 51:07
  If for nothing else to let your family know that you're safe.
• 51:11
  I mean, that would be the worst thing is wondering what's going on.
• 51:14
  We don't want that.
• 51:15
  So proper preparation prevents poor performance.
• 51:19
  Am I expecting something might happen?
• 51:21
  No, but then again, you never know.
• 51:25
  Now, whether you're protecting your rights against violent protest against uh those who are trying to uh control your life or your children's life or or tell you you you can't do something because it's politically incorrect.
• 51:40
  Uh you know, it's up to us to defend our own rights, not to be dependent on others.
• 51:47
  You know, like I say, an expert opinion is still only an opinion until there's proof.
• 51:52
  I want to modify that an AI opinion is still only an opinion until there's proof.
• 51:58
  Because let's face it, AI has been found to be wrong pretty frequently, so frequently that they've actually got a term for it.
• 52:05
  They call it AI hallucinations, where they just kind of hallucinate what was going on, which I find very hilarious in its anthropomorphism, as if this entity, this AI can dream and come up with hallucinations as opposed to simply be trained really, really badly.
• 52:23
  And whether it's AI or a human being that is promoting information that may not be true.
• 52:29
  That's why we need to remind ourselves, train ourselves to think for ourselves.
• 52:36
  To ask that question, where's your proof?
• 52:38
  You said something, where's your proof?
• 52:40
  Show me details.
• 52:41
  I need to see evidence.
• 52:43
  You know, I I it's amazing the response I get, but that's it's an important point of thinking for myself, and I want you to think for yourself so that when the craziness happens, when the disruptions happen, when the world goes nuts, you've got a little bit of preparation.
• 53:01
  You can think for yourself, you can do for yourself, and not be dependent on the the will or the opinions or the feelings of others to define for you what you should and shouldn't do, to define for you what your rights are and aren't.
• 53:20
  And sometimes there's some people they really want to go deep into that.
• 53:24
  You know, most people I know, they read the constitution, they kind of get a basic understanding, and you know, they want, you know, they get like a uh an elementary school education on the constitution, and that's all they really want.
• 53:36
  There are others that want to go to secondary school, right?
• 53:38
  They want to go to junior high and high school.
• 53:40
  There are some that want to go college level.
• 53:43
  If you're one of those, I'd ask you to consider the Constitution Study Patriots program.
• 53:49
  See, it's it's an invitation only program designed for people who really want to go deep, that really want to study the Constitution, I want to understand it, that want to communicate about it.
• 53:59
  We want to know what's going on in other regions, what's going on in other states and cities, so we we can prepare for what might come here, or maybe we can simply offer advice to help those in other locations and do so without the worry of censorship.
• 54:14
  The most important part of my Patriots program, though, is the Minutemen.
• 54:18
  Men and women ready at a moment's notice to help, to answer those questions, to show up at a press conference or to testify in front of a committee, to bring the truth of the constitution to others, to train them and to be that expert for them, to mentor them and to be there to help them.
• 54:40
  Now, as I said, this is invitation only.
• 54:42
  So if you're interested, first thing you should do is go to Constitution Study.com/slash patriots.
• 54:48
  You can read up about the program, see what we're trying to do, and see if it's something you're interested in.
• 54:54
  If so, you can also sign up for the boot camp there.
• 54:57
  That's the first step in becoming a constitution study patriot, is you got to take and pass the boot camp.
• 55:04
  It's not really that hard, but it does mean you're going to be involved in the the question of how we study and the importance of what we're working on.
• 55:13
  Once you've done that, well, then there's an oath I ask you to take.
• 55:17
  Are you going to make a solemn promise that you're going to use this to help not just yourself, but others?
• 55:23
  It's really important to me that my constitution study patriots not simply be protecting their own rights, but be prepared to help others.
• 55:31
  You do that, you'll receive an invitation to join us in the Patriots program.
• 55:35
  We're small, but we're mighty and we're growing.
• 55:38
  And it's something I'm really hoping to expand on, especially this summer in July, second through fourth, America Out Loud is going to be in Nashville to celebrate the semi-quincentennial.
• 55:49
  And I'm looking for my patriots to join me.
• 55:52
  If you're in the area, in fact, if you're listening to this program and you're in the area, find me at America Out Loud 250.
• 56:00
  I'll be more than happy to shake your hand, meet up.
• 56:03
  If you're not actually attending, maybe we can have a meetup off the off-campus there and get to know each other, get to know what's going on, because it's going to be we the people that protect our own rights.
• 56:14
  It's going to be we the people that defend ourselves.
• 56:17
  And ultimately, it's we the people that will make the ultimate difference in the future of this nation.
• 56:23
  I also hope you come and join us for the Constitution study every weekday, 4 p.m.
