• 1:13
  Speaker 5: went on last night. I will give you my analysis
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: of it, but I also want to hear how it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: impacting you where you are at four three four eight
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven. That's the phone number.
• 1:25

  Speaker 5: dot com. New documentary coming out UH today. It's called
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Sacred Honor. Premieres tonight at eight thirty on YouTube on
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: the Daily Signals channel. Bradley Devlin, who is the political
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: editor for Daily Signal and also the host and producer
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: of the documentary. Bradley, you were saying before, reiterate what
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: you were saying about why you guys put this documentary.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Well, do I think everyone here to do Signal believes
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: that America is at an inflection point. You know, we
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: look at that room full of the signers of the
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Declaration of Independence, when we look at the trumbule painting
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: in the Capital rotunda, and we think for ourselves. Thomas
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Jefferson is just thirty three, James Madison is twenty five.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: At the time of seventeen seventy six.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: James Monroe is just eighteen years old. Wow, that's inspirational.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. Well, there's the other side of the story too.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Frederick Mark Frederick Engels is twenty seven, Karl Marx is
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: twenty nine when they rote the Communist Manifesto in Cuba,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Jay aware of is twenty seven, to del Castro is
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: thirty when they lead the revolution in Cuba.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: And so if we're at this inflection point.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: We need to inspire people to hire politics, especially as
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: we see the march of socialism continue across the country,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: especially in our deep blue cities.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: This can go one or two ways.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: They can go the way of the Founding, or you
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: can go the way of the Russian Revolution and revolutions
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: like it throughout history. And so we need to inspire
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: people to remember who we are as Americans for our
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: two hundred and fiftieth birthday. If we have any hope
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: of reaching the year five hundred, a year that even
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the Roman Republic did not reach.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: That's a good point. And not a lot of them
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: have lasted this long either, Bradley, hang on, we'll come
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: back to you in a little talk about the documentary
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Sacred Honor, which premieres tonight at Daily Signal dot com.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Think first. Go to Think First Amendment dot org to
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: learn more.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: you guys? I love this song, I love these notchos,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I love Archickball League, I love this guy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: What's your name?
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I'd love a ride when it's time to head out.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: If you see a buzz warning sign, call for a
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: ride when it's time to go home.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: A message from NITZA and the Ad Councils Radio.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: It's on.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Local and corporate controled is still corporate controlled. This is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: independence from Virginia again. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: on the Chunk Media Networks.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: You're on the air.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind?
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: The radio program that's not afraid to call ourselves a
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: radio program. If you insist on sounding like the cool kids,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: you can be my content creators four three, four eight
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven. My friends at the
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Daily Signal. I write the Virginia columns out there for them,
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: although there are columns written by people named Virginia, which
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: can be difficult on a search engine. But if you
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: go to Daily Signal and look up our state networks,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: we've got state networks in Texas and Ohio and California.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Oh it's funny, California, Georgia, and here in Virginia. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: our editor is Bradley Devlin, and over the last couple
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: of weeks he's been working on putting the finishing touches
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: on this documentary called Sacred Honor, debuts tonight and Bradley
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: is on the newsmaker's line. I was talking about building
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: out this documentary. I know that I've mentioned it, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: at first the listeners said I was crazy. And the
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: more they think about it, the more they're worried that
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: some of these folks, like the Democratic Socialists in New
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: York and Denver and Washington, DC, are going to look
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: upon this as a punctuation mark, a period on the
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: sentence and then say, Okay, now let's work on the
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: next two hundred and fifty years, rather than trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: recapture the things that we tried to do two hundred
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: and fifty years ago. And I think your documentary seems
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: to me picking on the fact that it was a
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: unique thing done by people who knew they were doing
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: something unique. But they weren't chosen for their uniqueness. They
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: were just people who managed to be aware of their
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: time and their place and what they needed to do
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: and did it rather than looking for personal gain or grandizement.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a peculiar thing about the founding, about
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: America's founding in particular, is typically the great man of
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: history is a singular figure.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: It's a Napoleon Bonaparte, or it's the Julius Caesar. I
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: think the thing that's so.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Interesting about the American Founding is it's a room full
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: of great men of history. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Every country would be lucky to just have one of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: those men. We have a room full of them. Fifty
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: six of men sign their lives, their fortunes, and their
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: sacred honor over to the support of the Declaration of Independence, and.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: So in that way it's a miracle.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: But also what you'll learn with this documentary is it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: not just the men in that room talking about quote
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: unquote revolutionary ideas. The revolutionary in terms of revolving back
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: to human nature, to the rights of man and also
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the rights of Englishmen. They're talking about those ideas, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: they're not talking about them in a vacuum.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: They're chosen by their countrymen to.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Organize responses to whatever British usurpation was happening at the time,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and eventually they are provided instructions by their colonies to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: declare independence.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: And so what's amazing about the.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Revolution in America, this revolving back, if you will, to
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: first principles is that this is largely a grassroots activity.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Boy, isn't that important.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: To remember right now, especially for you in Virginia and
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: all of your listeners in Virginia. It is a grassroots operation.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It is from the bottom up, not the top down.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: The top down aspect of the king's rule in parliament's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: rule is.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: What fueled this in the first place.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: The people wanted independence, and the statesmen that they chose
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: were able to prudently navigate that problem, the set of
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: problems that they were dealing with, in an amazing masterful way.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: It is one of the best political dramas ever told.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Forget Scandal, forget the West Wing, forget all those shows.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: The real history is the best.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: You mentioned the grassroots and the way that it was
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: bottom up. By the time July second, seventeen seventy six
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: comes around, we've already been at war. We've already been
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: fighting skirmishes in New England for over a year. We
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: broadcasted live last year from right Tavern, And you want
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: to talk about a building full of history, the idea
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: that I was able to walk the same floorboards as
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Samuel Adams and the folks who originally pushed back against
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: in John Hancock, that there were already battles going on.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Patrick Henry says so much at Saint John's Church. The
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: war is already afoot, and this is the state saying
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: to their representatives, you need to do something to rally us,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: to coalesce what we're doing here. Otherwise it's just going
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: to be a bunch of criminals getting hunted down by
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: British soldiers. And I think there's a lot of lessons
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: to be learned by what we're seeing, whether it's the
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Save Act you pick on, or other parts where people
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: on the streets are telling Congress, we need you to
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: do something and they're not two hundred and fifty years later.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Bradley as that too much of an inference from this documentary,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: because I'm guilty of that too frequently. Ask my wife, No.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's a good draw right.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Republican government works if if the Republican representatives actually represent
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: the people. And I think what we've seen is the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: corruption of that system. And you mentioned the Save America Act.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, what a perfect little bow. Eighty percent approval
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: of the provisions in a Save America Act, and yet
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: somehow they can't figure out the Republicans are in the majority,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: and they can't figure out how to get fifty votes.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: On the day of America Act.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: So apparently it's a minority opinion in Congress that we
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: should have secure elections in the United States, or at
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: least in the upper Chamber. But it is of course
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the overwhelming majority on the grassroots level who believes common
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: sense election integrity measures are necessary.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it is not Richard Henry Lee.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: That's where we get the Lee resolution comes from the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Virginia man, Richard Henry Lee, out of nowhere, just throwing
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: this piece of paper on the counter on the table
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: in June seventh, seventeen seventy six.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: That's when he originally introduces it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: It is Virginia who says, we shall now force the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: question of independence because colonial governments across the country are
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: breaking down. We have directed these colonies to create new governments,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: and we have an opportunity to recover our rights in
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: our liberty for them for the future. And so it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: the Virginia Convention that tells Richard Henry Lee to bring
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: this to the Continental Congress, and from there it is
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of politicking over those three and a half
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: four weeks to get this thing across the finish line.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Bradley Devlin is on with us. He's a public political
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: editor for the Daily Signal. Of course I write there
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: as well. But the documentary is called Sacred Honor Declaration
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: that defines a nation. No relation to William Henry Lee,
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: but Senator Mike Lee is part of it, and a
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: cast of great thinkers. Victor Davis Hanson does a great
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: piece there. As a matter of fact, Bradley and Victor
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Davis Hanson are online now if you go to Daily
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Signal dot com. Their newest piece is about the very
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: same things I'm worried about. Come July fifth, do we
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: start to hear a leftist saying, don't you think it's
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: time we put the Declaration and the Constitution in the
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Smithsonian and started something that maybe would make Barack Obama proud.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: California based chiropractor, with more than thirty years of experience.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: This compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: convenient and easy to using the comfort of your home,
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot com

  Speaker 8: radio It's.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: On listen anytime you like.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I won't tell you're a grow director. Don't You might
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: post it to your first thing today by Joe Thomas
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: on the Talk Media Network.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: Is this a sovereignation or just a polling state?
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: You men, look out people, Lauren gets too lets it's
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: a great email on enforcing laws, and I want to
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: bring it up because it kind of flies in the
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: face of the narrative or whatever ef Joe I heard
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: on your news. I listened online in parentheses that the
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: sheriff in your hometown has said he's not going to
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: enforce the dutifully legislated and signed laws regarding possession, transport,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: and purchase of firearms, stating that he supports the constitution
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: and took an oath to support the constitution. Yet you
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: wanted constitutional officers at the southern border to ignore the
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: orders of their government and arrest people and deport them
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: even though the government said don't do that. And if
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: the law enforcement officers decide not to enforce marijuana possession
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: or theft to a certain point, guys like you rail
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: about it, which is it? You can't have it both ways.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: If the legislative body representing the people, as I understand it,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: pass a law, then the elected law enforcement officers and
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: appointed once some frenzies have to enforce those laws. That's
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: the constitution of the states and of the country, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: that if something is unconstitutional, it has to be adjudicated,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: and that can't be done on the street by law
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: enforcement officers just picking and choosing which laws they enforce
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: or not. I appreciate the email because it does fly
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: into the teeth of our particular radio motorcycle operator. This morning,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: because we do in our home county of Augusta County, Virginia,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: sheriff issued a statement saying he's not although the courts
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: have interceded as well. Courts have interceded already on this
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: and that part isn't necessarily well laid out. The courts
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: have put a stay on the gun grab legislations that
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: they have passed until hearing. And that's the point of
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: an injunction is if there's a question over whether an
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: law is constitutional or not, a court will should appropriately
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: put an injunction on the enforcement of that law until
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: such time as you can determine whether it really is
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: or isn't constitutional.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: We used to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: If you go back, you want to be an originalist,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: you want to really impress your originalist friends, go and
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: talk about what the original role of the US Attorney
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: General was. This one's fun. This will wow them at
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: the watercolor. The original role of the Attorney General was
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: to advise Congress on potential unconstitutional laws. That they might
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: be trying to bring as some states still have that function.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: You'll have markup on laws. Virginia has it that you'll
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: have markup on laws and they'll put little sticky notes
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: basically on pages that are unconstitutional. If not the whole
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: thing in general, doesn't mean it might not get passed,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: because the way the process works is the legislature is
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: allowed to legislate courts across the country. Virginia got popularized
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: for doing this, saying this just the other day with
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: the redistricting ruling, that they won't rule on pending legislation,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: that they want to let the legislative process work its
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: way through before declaring something that's not finished yet constitutional
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: because the concept may fall under the purview of the
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: legislative or executive branches, which then, as you point out,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: makes it constitutional. I don't believe that the Constitution establishes
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: the rights of negative prerogative. Let me explain what I
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: mean is the government, the US Constitution and most of
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: the state was do not say you know you can
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: ban something, you can you can stop protecting the right
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: to do it. And it sounds like, you know, slice
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: of the same pie, but it's it's profoundly different. So
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: you have a right to own arms, and the government
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: doesn't want you to own those arms, but you have
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: a god given right and it's in paper. The Constitution
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: allows that states can pass lets legislation, but they cannot
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: circumvent the US Constitution, and it is a gray area.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you that an officer on the
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: fly just determining what is or isn't a constitutional order
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: is a heavy lift, but it's what we ask our
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: soldiers to do. Our soldiers are trained, and part of
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: their training is to know what a constitutional order is
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: and isn't because they are commanded by the Uniform Code
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: of Justice to be insubordinate when confronted with an unconstitutional order,
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: So that means they need to know what those are.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: So it's a good question though, and I appreciate that.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Bradley Devlin also on with US Daily Signal dot com
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: the documentary coming out, and you were talking about how
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: these founders worked through the Constitutional Convention. Braves a great point,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: and you know, we bring up Rutledge of South Carolina,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: and then even after that, as we get towards the
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: US Constitution, the battles between James Madison and Patrick Henry,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: and then the peace made by James Monroe and George
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Mason that gave us the Bill of Rights. America's history
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: is not one of oh, my party's in power, so
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do whatever I want, and whatever they
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: want they don't. There's a lot of conflict, there's a
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: lot of disagreement. I think the slavery, usurpation and abuse
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: section is a great example of it. Jefferson thought that
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: was an important thing. A lot of people did, but
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: South Carolina said, we're not supporting this as long as
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: that resolution is in there. They got Georgia to go
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: along with it. It still wasn't a majority opinion, but
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: they worked towards the best solution they could, even in
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: the face of disagreement. And that's something we lack today too, Bradley,
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: don't you think.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jefferson, there's a great story of Jefferson sitting
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: there stoically taking all of these edits to his perfect declaration,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: and he's just ticked.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Is all get out that they keep mangling.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: He'll later write this in a letter that the Congress mangled.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: His Declaration of Independence.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: But it's those eighty edits that are made by the Congress.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: That transforms this distillation of the American mind into a
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: statement of a Congress and something that is politically actionable.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: If they got rid of the condemnation of George the
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Third for imposing the Neurorith Atlantic slave trade onto the
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: New World, they also cut down twenty five percent of
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: the document, make it less emotional, make it more political.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Why. Here's why. Because the Lee Resolution is in three parts.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: The Declaration, of course, is the explanation of the Lee Resolution.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: The first is a statement of truths, truths that we
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: hold to be self evident.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: You might have heard that line Joe Biden, As Joe
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Biden said, you know the thing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: We all these truths to be self.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Evident, all men and women creative by the go. You know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: you know the thing.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: The second it's a lengthy indictment of the king.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: And the third part is us saying, because of these
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: two things, are these truths and these violations of those truths,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: we are now an independent country. That is something that
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: is politically actionable.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: We need to have.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: The Lee Resolution tells us we're going to declare independence,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: We're going to get a foreign alliance, and we are
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: going to create a new form of government. And so
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: the declaration is geared towards the Lee Resolution to explain
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: why we're.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Doing just that.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: And and we end up being able to secure into
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: dependence through the French Alliance, through the Articles of Confederation,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: and of course through the promulgation of our new independence.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: And I can't wait to see the documentary Daily Signals
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: YouTube channel. It is tonight at eight thirty YouTube Daily Signal.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And of course that's the point. And at that point,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: once we have done that, that's when, believe it or not,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: then we mail it off to England Curry at Optic England,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: where once it reaches Parliament, conservatism is born because there
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: was a small at the beginning, but a growing cadre
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: of members of Parliament led by Edmund Burke, who if
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: you know the name Russell Kirk, then you know the
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: name Edmund Burke. If you don't know either of those
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: names and you think conservatism is Russe Limbaugh and Joe
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Thomas in the Morning, I'm sorry.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: It goes way back
