  My issue of the imprimist came in over the weekend.
• 0:26
  If you do not subscribe to the improvements, by the way, it looks like there's 7.1 million readers who imprime us.
• 0:36
  You're missing out if you haven't subscribed yet.
• 0:40
  This is a publication produced by Hillsdale.
• 0:45
  You can go to your to their website.
• 0:46
  I'm sure they've got a tab up at the top that says in primus.
• 0:50
  It's free.
• 0:51
  Just type in your name.
• 0:53
  Type where you want the in primus to be mailed to, and boom, lo and behold, on your doorstep in your mailbox.
• 1:02
  Larry Arne in your mailbox.
• 1:04
  So uh Dr.
• 1:04
  Arn is the uh he's this month's uh in Primus uh a speech that he gave at um let's see, it was at a Hillsdale College reception in Franklin, Tennessee, November 18th.
• 1:22
  And that's really what in Primus is made up of.
• 1:24
  There are speeches that are given on campus and at uh various Hillsdale events, and I don't know how they go about choosing which speech makes it into the in primus, the best of the best, I'm sure.
• 1:39
  Uh this month's issue is written or spoken, but it's also his his written remarks uh at this event from uh Dr.
• 1:49
  Larry Arn.
• 1:51
  He, of course, is the president of Hillsdale.
• 1:53
  I want to get into this piece because it's good.
• 1:57
  Uh it's called Today's Firestorm and the Declaration, and he talks about really the resistance that is being put forth to the declaration, even as we speak, and but it's the declaration that ultimately, if we pay attention to it, if we read it, if we took its advice, it would solve a lot of our problems.
• 2:28
  It would probably, I mean, I don't know if he makes this statement in here, but it would go a long way into solving many, if not all of them.
• 2:36
  So I want to get into this in Primus.
• 2:38
  Anytime you get an opportunity to listen to Dr.
• 2:42
  Arne speak or to read what he's written, I encourage you to do it.
• 2:46
  Uh he's a wise man, and he's got good things to say.
• 2:50
  So we're gonna we're gonna get into that in a little bit.
• 2:55
  Uh there's a couple of uh pieces here that are that are coming out in terms of the uh the judiciary and what the uh judicial system is attempting to do to the Trump team.
• 3:11
  Uh and how they want to thwart the efforts, the the compact efforts that Dr.
• 3:18
  Arne refers to here.
• 3:20
  You know what?
• 3:21
  Let's just tell you what, we're gonna we're gonna weave.
• 3:24
  We're gonna do the old-fashioned we're gonna weave in and out of things.
• 3:28
  Um I'm making the executive decision right now.
• 3:31
  I want to go to Arne, and then I want to weave into this article here by Leif Lama Hugh.
• 3:37
  I don't know how to pronounce his last name, but in this article, he talks about uh this leftist Obama appointed judge who has made the decision here unilaterally that Trump can't cut funding to Planned Parenthood.
• 3:53
  This U.S.
• 3:54
  district judge and Dira Talwani, she's an Obama Knight.
• 4:01
  She's making these individual unilateral uh decisions here.
• 4:08
  So I think this ties in beautifully to what Arne is talking about here.
• 4:14
  And first of all, he says that um as the new year approaches, 2026, as we enter into the 250th anniversary of America, he he says there are two momentous things that are that are colliding, and what he refers to as today's firestorm.
• 4:35
  Uh they are the declaration of independence and the national fire storm that rages over its meaning.
• 4:41
  They're on a collision course here on the 250th anniversary.
• 4:48
  And he first introduces in his piece here, Donald Trump, because he talks about Trump as being the um the fuel to the to the wind of the declaration, that there is this revival, so to speak of the declaration and love for the declaration.
• 5:12
  And there are contrary winds that Arn speaks of that are attempting to create a fire storm against it.
• 5:19
  But first, he talks about uh what's happening in the country under Trump in terms of good things.
• 5:26
  He notes that crime is down in several cities, uh, especially the ones wherein Trump is sent the National Guard.
• 5:33
  He notes that the economy is doing pretty well, and allictions are that it's it's going to move in that direction.
• 5:43
  Uh he notes that Iran and Hamas are weaker.
• 5:48
  Uh and that maybe the the cauldron bubbling in the Middle East is cooling a bit.
• 5:55
  Uh he makes note that 300,000 fewer people are working for the federal government.
• 6:00
  This, of course, is a good thing.
• 6:02
  When you have a smaller government, a smaller operation located centrally, the people are going to do better.
• 6:13
  He talks about military recruitment and defense spending.
• 6:16
  Both are up.
• 6:18
  Uh, he talks about the the motivation that Heggseth is instilling with with speeches into his military leadership.
• 6:27
  And he and Hegseth is saying, look, we're we have a purpose again.
• 6:31
  We are going about this thing with purpose, and our purpose is to fight.
• 6:36
  We are, you know, we're no longer the Department of Defense.
• 6:40
  We're the Department of War.
• 6:42
  And if we have to go there, we're gonna go there.
• 6:46
  Um he makes note of uh Secretary of State Rubio, who's who's has has recently has given some wonderful speeches, speeches about the the purpose and manner of American foreign policy and all of this stuff is we're happy about.
• 7:05
  Um he talks about the Department of Education and how Secretary McMahon is on a mission to uh she's already cut half, and she's on a mission to cut the rest.
• 7:17
  Of course, good news.
• 7:20
  He talks about the Secretary of the Interior, Bergham, and how he's looking for ways to use land better, and Secretary of Energy Wright is looking for uh ways to use energy better.
• 7:34
  And Pam Bondi uh he says is is really operating seemingly without fear.
• 7:40
  And so things are looking, things are looking good.
• 7:44
  Um he refers to to Vance uh frightened the daylights out of Europe, calling for the elimination of wokeness and for increased defense men.
• 7:55
  Remember that speech?
• 7:56
  That was a powerful speech.
• 7:59
  Um he refers to the blizzard of executive orders, uh, giving regulatory relief, stemming the tide of DEI, reducing the state, uh reducing the size and reach of of the federal establishment.
• 8:17
  He even talks about how shower pressure is up, how you can take a hot shower now under heavy steam.
• 8:24
  Um the federal debt, he says, is is rising a bit slower.
• 8:29
  The border is closed.
• 8:31
  The Ukraine war is while a stubborn disaster, Trump is is making making efforts to bring it to a close.
• 8:38
  So he he's talking about all of these things that are that are good, things that are that are happening, things that we should be proud of.
• 8:48
  And then he mentions the the fire storm of resistance.
• 8:54
  He talks about the other winds that are blowing from self-described resistance leaders, such as these groups that um have risen up demonstrating that we don't have a king in America, no kings.
• 9:07
  Um he talks about Mam Donny and how in his first yet he is the first self-proclaimed socialist mayor-elect of New York.
• 9:17
  Um resistance here.
• 9:19
  He talks about how Virginia has turning bluer.
• 9:23
  Um then he he brings up the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 9:29
  And in light of that assassination, he mentions reports that several of Trump's administration, several officials on his team and their families, have been moved on to military bases due to threats for their safety since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 9:50
  Uh he he refers to Zany radicalism and how it abounds, and he brings up Nick Fuentes, and he makes notes.
• 10:00
  That Fuentes has a big audience.
• 10:02
  And Fuentes professes to like both Hitler and Stalin.
• 10:07
  And he makes note that while both Hitler and Stalin did cooperate to carve up their neighbors before they waged merciless war on each other.
• 10:23
  It was indeed Hitler who did, you know, do that.
• 10:27
  Churchill made sense of all that by saying that national socialism and communism differ as the North Pole differs from the South Pole.
• 10:38
  But many people don't get that.
• 10:41
  They don't understand that analogy.
• 10:43
  They don't seem to realize that the North and South Pole are bad places to live.
• 10:48
  Their confusion, Arne says, stems from reasons that are deep but also limpid, visible to the bottom.
• 10:58
  He says, so what do we see when we look down to the bottom?
• 11:02
  He says we see a generation of which too many have been taught that the only truth is in the human will.
• 11:10
  And then the human will become sovereign.
• 11:13
  And that's that's a problem.
• 11:16
  The past is presented to them as a dark time.
• 11:21
  Especially in modern day public education.
• 11:30
  And that the country was founded in darkness.
• 11:33
  1619 and all that.
• 11:37
  And so now happily superseded.
• 11:41
  The times now are so much better if we would only just listen to our Marxist overlords who have all the right ideas.
• 11:50
  Therefore, students today learn no edifying or useful point to our history.
• 11:56
  It was in, it was formed in dark times, and it superseded by the good now, so we don't even need to pay attention to it.
• 12:04
  The quest for truth dies only in the humanities.
• 12:08
  But increasingly it's dying in the sciences.
• 12:12
  To think there is one right answer to a math problem has been derided as a racist concept.
• 12:20
  How dare you?
• 12:21
  It's racism to say that.
• 12:23
  That there's there's only one way to get to a math answer.
• 12:27
  And of course, the sexes are completely confused.
• 12:31
  Arn makes note of this here in his piece, where he says, Gloria Steinem attributes the feminist saying a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle to a 22 year old, a 22-year-old Australian by the name of Irina Dunn.
• 12:47
  Apparently, supposedly it was Dunn who said that she wrote this.
• 12:53
  A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
• 12:56
  She was the first to coin it as she wrote it on a toilet stall.
• 13:01
  And then Arne aptly makes note that perhaps it didn't occur to her that a fish on a bicycle could occupy that stall till kingdom come and never produce arena done.
• 13:15
  Such ignorance leaves boys free to become useless wimps or dangerous predators.
• 13:21
  It leaves too many women to themselves, even if they wish to face the fulfilling trial of children.
• 13:27
  Little wonder we are not reproducing even at a replacement level.
• 13:32
  Little wonder that so many boys and girls gravitate toward different, if ultimately indistinguishable wastelands.
• 13:40
  See, the the pithiness here.
• 13:43
  The pithiness in Dr.
• 13:45
  Arne.
• 13:46
  I love it.
• 13:47
  I absolutely love it.
• 13:49
  And he's correct.
• 13:50
  A fish and a bicycle could keep their place and that stall till kingdom come, and neither one of them produce arena done.
• 14:01
  And so the the irony here is that yes, um, a woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle.
• 14:09
  A woman does need a man, unlike a fish needs a bicycle.
• 14:14
  Uh Arne says that when human will becomes sovereign, unencumbered by nature and divorced from God, we are left with movements.
• 14:25
  People organized to impose their will on their adversaries.
• 14:29
  That's how he's describing these movements here.
• 14:33
  Uh the movements of the radical left are simply people uh interested, organizing to impose their will on their on their adversaries.
• 14:46
  Um God's not in charge.
• 14:48
  There is no, there's no reason to trust him, to believe in him.
• 14:53
  At the bottom of the rot, Arn says, is a set of doctrines that have remade the American government and are remaking the society.
• 15:02
  These doctrines are the abnegation of the declaration of independence.
• 15:08
  Under these doctrines, he says, there are no truths, no truths that last, no commands from above, no commands that have to be obeyed or observed.
• 15:19
  There's only what people do to each other.
• 15:24
  There's only what people want to do to each other.
• 15:28
  And by this process, they shape society and each other.
• 15:33
  What they ought to do doesn't even enter into the equation.
• 15:37
  There's no thought about what they ought to do.
• 15:40
  There's no ought in any of this.
• 15:43
  And that becomes problematic.
• 15:48
  There's no what we ought to do.
• 15:50
  And because there's no what we ought to do, then we are presented with U.S.
• 15:55
  District Judge Indira Talwani ruling that um Trump cannot cut off funding to planned parenthood.
• 16:03
  Because there's no thought that we that we shouldn't want to kill babies.
• 16:13
  No, we we should.
• 16:14
  We we and we should fund the process.
• 16:18
  All right, I'm gonna get into more of Arne on the other side of this break.
• 16:22
  I'm gonna get into, I'm gonna dive into this article where this leftist Obama judge has made it clear that funding can um can start up again.
• 16:34

  Right at the top of America Outloud Doc News are the words.
• 19:20
  Many voices won freedom united in the first amendment.
• 19:28
  Now is our time.
• 19:32
  America outloud.news.
• 19:34
  Liberty and justice for all.
• 20:00
  And it and movements in his definition are simply people organized to impose their will on others, on their on their political adversaries, as it were.
• 20:11
  And since they've divorced themselves from God, what they ought to do doesn't enter into the equation.
• 20:20
  And when he says they've divorced themselves from God, he's referring to divorcing themselves from morality.
• 20:29
  Ultimately, that's what we're left with.
• 20:32
  We're left with a people who are divorced from morality.
• 20:37
  And when I say a people, I'm really referring to young people, young people that are being educated by a public school system today, which has divorced itself from God, wholeheartedly.
• 20:58
  This whole idea of religious freedom doesn't exist in the public schools because they have made an endeavor, albeit a successful one, to divorce themselves from God and from the morality which he presents into our lives.
• 21:18
  This Arn says this is the great discovery of our day.
• 21:23
  And he says it also plagues our day, that the sovereignty of history of time and of circumstance.
• 21:37
  Discovering there was no ought, we can break free from reinventing everything according to our desire.
• 21:59
  And that has become a problem.
• 22:24
  It's the way that they're being formed.
• 22:27
  They are being formed to believe that there is no ought in the situation.
• 22:35
  And therefore, what we desire to do, then we should just do.
• 22:40
  I just I want to do it, so I'm gonna do it.
• 22:44
  Um we see this problem brewing in every aspect of our society.
• 22:54
  So here we've got this leftist judge appointed by Barack Obama, who issued an order last week telling the Trump administration that they could not cut funding, which is designated for Planned Parenthood.
• 23:11
  Um her name is Endira Tallon, and she ruled that uh the Department of Health and Human Services, which had planned to cut Medicaid funding going toward Planned Parenthood, and she said, No, no, you can't.
• 23:27
  Uh California and other Democrat-led states had sued to keep Medicaid funding going to Planned Parenthood affiliates, and she has in a sense sided with California and other Democrats.
• 23:43
  Here's what she wrote.
• 23:45
  She said the Department of Health and Human Services has failed to provide clear notice as required by the spending clause of the United States Constitution.
• 23:56
  Uh, this notice should have been given to Democrat-led states, and it wasn't.
• 24:01
  Medicaid funding for abortion promoting entities was cut off for one year by a provision in the GOP-backed big beautiful bill.
• 24:13
  So the U.S.
• 24:14
  Court of Appeals for the First Circuit previously overturned another decision from Telwani that sided with plant parenthood.
• 24:21
  So there's hope here.
• 24:22
  There's hope that this thing will be uh appealed to the First Circuit, and Talwani will once again uh be smacked down, but because she has a history of leftist activism.
• 24:37
  Because there's no ought.
• 24:38
  What should we ought to do?
• 24:39
  No, there's only in this case leftist uh judicial activism.
• 24:44
  She's she's volunteered and donated to to prominent Democrat politicians, including Obama, including Pocahontas.
• 24:53
  She donated uh over 1,700 to Democrat politicians and Democrat Party, including a thousand to former John Kerry, former Senator John Kerry, 350 to Elizabeth Warren, and 100 to Obama.
• 25:10
  And she gave another 275 to the Democrat National Committee.
• 25:14
  Well, you're like, oh, that's that's only that's only 1700.
• 25:18
  That's not a lot.
• 25:21
  Um well, when she explained on her Senate questionnaire that she also volunteered to knock on doors for Obama in 08 and volunteered to Canvas on behalf of Elizabeth Elizabeth Warren in 2012.
• 25:36
  Now she's doing more than just giving of her money.
• 25:40
  She's now giving of her time.
• 25:43
  And she has sided against the Trump administration and other rulings, including decisions to revoke temporary protected status for half a million migrants, and the 2019 ruling that said immigration and customs enforcement was allowed to arrest illegal aliens on courthouse grounds in the state of Massachusetts.
• 26:07
  Um I think this is probably supposed to say that um that she said they couldn't allow.
• 26:13
  That's probably a typo here.
• 26:15
  Um the bottom line is there there isn't any uh there isn't any ought here.
• 26:26
  There isn't any uh what they ought to do, it's only what can benefit my leftist agenda.
• 26:38
  What's the one thing that's going to benefit the left?
• 26:44
  Um there is another piece here where there's a bill that would uh end ICE's use of privately run detention centers, um, which hold thousands of agencies detainees while preventing it from detaining children and families.
• 27:06
  Um I mean, there is I I guess I'll get into that one here in a minute.
• 27:13
  I don't want to get ahead of myself.
• 27:15
  I'll get to that one here in a minute.
• 27:17
  What are we to do?
• 27:18
  That's the question.
• 27:20
  How are we to um how are how are we to take things back?
• 27:27
  Arn says that these doctrines have re made the American government.
• 27:32
  He said this can be seen in the change of the size of government relative to the society, since progressivism has taken its hold.
• 27:42
  It can also be seen in the change in the number of people working for the government, and the wealth gathered around Washington, DC itself, and the fact that it's this centralizing authority.
• 27:56
  Um he says here is an easy measure.
• 28:02
  Uh where are our laws now made?
• 28:05
  And then the PC talks about how the Constitution gives the legislative body the authority to make laws, not just to make laws, but it uses the word all, all laws.
• 28:22
  All some legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States.
• 28:33
  Not a few, all.
• 28:36
  And there isn't any recourse for Congress to delegate that authority, which Congress has done.
• 28:48
  They have abdicated their authority given to them by the Constitution.
• 28:54
  And now we've we've got this we've got this behemoth of a fourth branch of government, which is essentially making more laws than Congress itself.
• 29:11
  He talks about this um, talks about Mike Lee of Utah, the senator, and how he keeps a cabinet in his office.
• 29:21
  And in the cabinet, it contains laws and regulations enacted by the federal government in a single two-year congressional session.
• 29:31
  He says in the two-year session since 2000, an average of just under 4800 pages per session were added by the Congress itself.
• 29:42
  But then he says, over 150,000 pages per session were added by the fourth branch of government, the bureaucracy, which in this case is what we've come to know as the as the deep state.
• 29:59
  So how do we?
• 30:00
  How do we fix this?
• 30:01
  Arn said that we're on the collision course.
• 30:04
  We're on the collision course between the declaration itself and between this resistance, this behemoth.
• 30:15
  He says the solution to all of this, if we will but adopt it, is found in the declaration.
• 30:23
  He says that the declaration tells us what we are.
• 30:26
  It tells us how to govern ourselves.
• 30:30
  And if we would just pay attention to it, then it would help us fix things if we would, if we would only pay attention to it.
• 30:45
  He makes note of the word commemorate.
• 30:47
  He says to commemorate is to remember together.
• 30:52
  And he says it's it's a time for us Americans to do just that.
• 30:57
  He says the declaration is 1350, 1,350 words long.
• 31:04
  He says its majesty is matched by its pithiness.
• 31:08
  Contains an entire account of the source, the purpose, and the manner of the government of the United States.
• 31:15
  And to these three things is to be found, the solution of our of our problem.
• 31:19
  If we will just pay attention to it, we'll discover the source, the purpose, and the manner in which the government of the United States is to run into operate.
• 31:33
  Of course, first we know the source.
• 31:36
  The source of our government is the laws of nature and of nature's God.
• 31:41
  These are things we know by by singing and thinking and about the things around us in nature.
• 31:48
  He makes note of the satire from Arena Dunn about the fish and the bicycle and the man and the woman.
• 31:55
  He says it wouldn't be funny or it would not be funny or meaningful, except we know by nature what's a fish, what's a bicycle, what's a man and what's a woman, and we know how they are related or how they're not related.
• 32:10
  Under these laws of nature, he said the declaration says that all men are created equal.
• 32:17
  But any common noun in place of man and the formula still works.
• 32:21
  All horses are created equal.
• 32:24
  All dogs are created equal.
• 32:26
  All cats are created equal.
• 32:28
  You plug in the noun and it's gonna work.
• 32:31
  But men aren't aren't horses or dogs or cats.
• 32:34
  They're they're completely different things.
• 32:38
  All men, meaning all of humanity are created equal in human rights, which makes them equal in their rights.
• 32:49
  You can ride a horse.
• 32:51
  If you're a little boy or a little girl, you can even ride on the back of your father, but only if your father gives you permission.
• 32:58
  And Arn talks about this.
• 33:00
  He says Jefferson explained the declaration shortly before his death on the 50th anniversary.
• 33:06
  He wrote that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them.
• 33:16
  Legitimately by the grace of God.
• 33:22
  Yes, if your father gives you permission, go for it.
• 33:25
  But you can't just impose your will.
• 33:42
  And this is what the Declaration is teaching us.
• 33:44
  The declaration is telling us this.
• 33:46
  There's an ought.
• 33:48
  There's an ought here if we're if we'll only pay attention to it.
• 33:52
  Arn talks about the uh the Lincoln Douglas to be.
• 34:18
  But they're not.
• 34:20
  Even down in the slave states, they recognize this, which is why they pass laws against teaching slaves to read, but they passed no such laws against hogs being taught how to read.
• 34:37
  Because humans and animals are different things.
• 34:41
  And when we understand these distinctions, we have the restoration of nature itself and of the moral law.
• 34:49
  And this is recognized repeatedly in the declaration, which constitutes that the rights inherent in our humanity.
• 34:58
  Arn says that that here we have the family, property, justice, work, learning, conscience, and worship.
• 35:07
  We have a right to all of these things.
• 35:10
  And he says nature is impossible of extinction until the last trumpet sounds, and therefore our rights cannot be extinguished.
• 35:19
  Everything we know, we know through our perception of nature and our understanding of the divine.
• 35:37
  Within within the public education system.
• 35:42
  So how are our young people?
• 35:44
  How are they to wrap their minds around this concept?
• 35:49
  If they are taught that there's no God, if they're taught that they evolved just by happenstance.
• 36:00
  It was an accident.
• 36:01
  It just, I mean, this explosion.
• 36:03
  I mean, all of a sudden, here we are.
• 36:06
  Um, you know, you have to be some kind of extra special.
• 36:14
  I want to use the word stupidity.
• 36:16
  Can I use the word stupidity?
• 36:19
  You have to be some kind of extra special stupidity to actually believe that all of this just came about.
• 36:27
  Um just by sheer dumb luck.
• 36:32
  No, it didn't come about by by sheer dumb luck.
• 36:35
  There is laws of nature and nature's God that we have just not considered, because it's been removed from our from our thought process, and it's been removed on purpose, and now there's no ought.
• 36:51
  What we ought to do or ought not to do.
• 36:55
  It's just now what do we want to do?
• 37:00
  What are our desires telling us?
• 37:02
  Where do we want to go with this?
• 37:05
  This is the this is the whole point that the Arn is making here.
• 37:09
  And um, by golly, it's a good one.
• 37:13
  All right, I'm gonna finish his piece on the other side of the break, but before we get there, I want to remind you that the daily V stack isn't just another supplement.

  Oral hygiene hasn't changed in 50 years.
• 38:00
  Brush, floss, repeat.

  We're not interested in divorcing ourselves from his moral principles.

  Either way, it gives you an opportunity to be involved in something bigger.
• 42:43
  Um, and not only to help a student to learn these principles and understand them, but also to save the country.
• 42:52
  Because the more students that we have to understand what Dr.
• 42:55
  Arne's saying here in this in Primus, then the better the better chance we have of literally saving the country.
• 43:05
  And that's what we're about here.
• 43:07
  That's that's what we want to do.
• 43:08
  All right, so I want to get back to this piece.
• 43:11
  Um Dr.
• 43:13
  Arne says that the declaration really gives us three things.
• 43:18
  It describes the source of our government, the purpose of our government, and the manner of our government.
• 43:24
  And we just talked about the source.
• 43:26
  We know the source.
• 43:28
  It is the laws of nature and of nature's God.
• 43:33
  And that's something that we have to cling to.
• 43:35
  All right.
• 43:36
  Next is the purpose, and the purpose is simple.
• 43:38
  It's spelled out so simply.
• 43:41
  Um, the declaration describes that we are to be governed, uh, namely in order to protect our rights, the rights that are written in our nature, and and again, um, that they're inherent in all of us.
• 44:00
  They're instilled in all of us by the creator himself.
• 44:05
  And what are these rights?
• 44:07
  Well, they're they're to do things that a human being can do by nature.
• 44:11
  In other words, to think, you have a right to think.
• 44:15
  You have a right to work.
• 44:17
  You have a right to speak.
• 44:19
  You have a right to learn, you have a right to worship, you have a right to defend yourself.
• 44:25
  We are born able to do these things.
• 44:28
  They're endowed in our create in us by our creator.
• 44:33
  We were born with the ability, and there is no human on the planet, there's no government on the planet that can take that ability away.
• 44:42
  We must do these things, or they will be diminished within us.
• 44:48
  We have a right to them.
• 44:50
  And Jefferson says that the very purpose of our government is to protect those rights.
• 44:58
  That's its job.
• 44:59
  That's the role.
• 45:01
  Protect the rights of humanity.
• 45:05
  And so often we have uh extrapolated that out to mean that government should be a nanny state, that government should be a big brother and it should be looking out after our every little or every little whim.
• 45:25
  And in so doing, the government destroys our right to work, the dignity that is given to us by God himself.
• 45:36
  You know, he told Adam and Eve, look, you're in charge of the garden, work it, tell it, subdue it, you know, go after it.
• 45:44
  You there's something dignifying, and going out and getting it done and working.
• 45:52
  And the government should protect that right, not destroy it.
• 45:58
  Finally, Arnest.
• 45:59
  The the declaration describes the manner in which uh our government is to govern us, that the manner in which this should happen.
• 46:10
  And he makes four points here.
• 46:11
  He says the first point is government must be representative informed.
• 46:16
  And our constitution uh guarantees that.
• 46:20
  That state governments, they've got to be representative informed, they've got to be republican, and then we the government must consent to it.
• 46:31
  Uh, and this is entirely natural, it's entirely right.
• 46:37
  Um, that there's got to be consent.
• 46:40
  I mean, kids are going to be involved, uh, and they're going to be more apt to do things that they consent to do.
• 46:47
  And they're going to be more apt to not do things that they don't consent to do.
• 46:52
  I mean, this is, you know, I run a school.
• 46:54
  I know how this happens.
• 46:56
  I watch it unfold constantly.
• 46:59
  So, yes, the government must be representative, and we must consent to it.
• 47:04
  The second point he makes is that government must be limited.
• 47:10
  And it should be able to only exercise the powers that we delegate to it.
• 47:16
  Our rights are ours by nature, and we delegate authority to the government only on condition that our rights are going to be protected and only in certain ways.
• 47:29
  Um he says that the federal government has only the specific powers delegated to it, but today, through a misreading of what is called the commerce clause, the federal government regulates everything down to the footpaths in our local communities.
• 47:51
  And it's uh, you know, this is leaves our streets often untended and unpoliced.
• 48:02
  And it's the cost of centralization.
• 48:05
  And this wasn't never to be.
• 48:07
  This was never to be this way.
• 48:10
  Uh, his third point is that government must act in all dispositive ways through elected representatives.
• 48:19
  It's got to act by the elected representatives, not the bureaucratic representatives that were appointed.
• 48:28
  Um here's his quote.
• 48:30
  He says there were to be no permanent officials who make laws so numerous and so complex that we cannot read them.
• 48:38
  The elected bureaucrats that fit this description today are the only ones with kingly powers among our leaders.
• 48:46
  And a delicious irony, he points out.
• 48:49
  It's they that the No Kings movement sets out to protect from our elected representatives.
• 48:56
  Bot on, he's 100% correct.
• 48:59
  And then his fourth and final point here, and how the manner of the government is that the powers of government must be divided, not concentrated.
• 49:12
  And he makes note here that in the declaration, they are united only in the hands of God, the perfect being.
• 49:42
  Jefferson refers to the laws of nature and of nature's God, which references the legislative branch.
• 49:49
  He refers to the divine providence, which refers to the executive branch.
• 49:55
  And Jefferson makes note of the supreme judge of the world, which is the
• 50:00
  Judicial branch.
• 50:02
  Those powers are not to be combined in human hands.
• 50:06
  They are combined in God.
• 50:08
  He's the king.
• 50:09
  He's the he's the judge.
• 50:11
  He's the lawmaker.
• 50:13
  But they can't be combined in humanity.
• 50:16
  They've got to be separated.
• 50:19
  And that's the point of the declaration.
• 50:22
  They must be divided.
• 50:26
  Um if if they're not, then we have tyranny.
• 50:33
  We we have King George the third all over again.
• 50:37
  So here we are.
• 50:39
  We are approaching here, 2026.
• 50:43
  And we are about to just go on a full blown, full throated celebration of the of the declaration of independence.
• 50:51
  Trump has spearheaded this movement.
• 50:54
  And I um I'm excited.
• 50:57
  I cannot wait to get into this year.
• 50:59
  I cannot wait to celebrate the declaration.
• 51:01
  And Arne is saying, look, while we're celebrating it, let's go back to its principles.
• 51:06
  Let's go back to what Jefferson was telling us.
• 51:09
  Let's go back to what he was teaching us here.
• 51:11
  Let's do it.
• 51:11
  Let's follow it.
• 51:14
  Let's let's go after it.
• 51:17
  Let's um let's make it part of education again.
• 51:25
  Let's turn it into to what it was always intended to be.
• 51:29
  Let's just let's celebrate it and let's commemorate it, which to commemorate Arn aptly points out is something that we remember together.
• 51:39
  We commemorate it and we remember it together.
• 51:42
  And so there's some things that we're gonna do uh going into this next year.
• 51:46
  And I'm I'm thinking through it of how this looks.
• 51:50
  You know, I think we want to celebrate the authors of the declaration.
• 51:54
  And I think we want to we want to celebrate them well.
• 51:59
  Not only do we want to celebrate the writing of it and the authorizing of it, but the people who actually did authorize it.
• 52:06
  So we're gonna do that.
• 52:07
  And we we've actually started this in the past couple summers ago.
• 52:10
  We we took some time, and I had an objective of getting through all of the signers, and I didn't.
• 52:18
  I know, I know, I lament it.
• 52:20
  I lament not not getting through it.
• 52:22
  I got through a good chunk of them, over half, but not through all of them.
• 52:27
  So once we get into the new year, we're gonna take some time, and I haven't quite mapped it out what it's gonna look like yet, but we're gonna we're gonna take some time working our way, and I don't know that we're gonna get them all done up through July 4th, uh, when we celebrate the birthday, but I mean 2026 is going all year long.
• 52:45
  So we might just make this a year long thing.
• 52:48
  If I can get it done before the 26th or before the before the fourth, I'm sorry, before July 4th, then I will.
• 52:58
  But uh I'm gonna leave some time.
• 53:00
  I'm gonna leave some room for that.
• 53:02
  And we're gonna we're gonna celebrate who these who these people were and what they stood for and what they believed in and um the debate of independence.
• 53:16
  We're gonna get into the debate of independence and what that looked like.
• 53:19
  And it's it's such an exciting thing.
• 53:23
  It truly is.
• 53:24
  And uh, so I'm I'm looking forward to that.
• 53:27
  I'm also looking forward to, by the way, if you heard the announcement yesterday, I was on with Malcolm uh on uh uh viewpoint this Sunday and in the last segment.
• 53:40
  And we were talking about a lot of things, but Malcolm made note of this celebration that the network is holding in Nashville, Tennessee, July 2nd, July 3rd, and July 4th.
• 53:57
  And I am so excited about this.
• 53:59
  I'm just I'm super stoked.
• 54:02
  I'm gonna be there.
• 54:03
  Um, Malcolm and the B, you know, he's gonna be there, obviously.
• 54:07
  Dr.

  McC.

  I mean, the the whole gang, I think everybody here from the network.
• 54:12
  Um at least I hope, you know, I hope, and I'm sure everybody here from the network is going to be in attendance, but it's going to be such a magnanimous celebration of America, and not only a celebration of America, 250 years, but a celebration of the network.
• 54:29
  The network this year is celebrating 10 years.
• 54:33
  And it's just going to be an exciting time.

  We need to, you know, we need to host an event.
• 56:07
  I mean, you know, people like me, I say it, but I don't understand what goes into the uh inner workings of of putting on such an event.
• 56:17
  And I and then and he's listened, and I know that he and his team have spent a lot of time, I mean months, eight, nine, ten months, you know, looking at this, working through it, thinking about it, and just you know, putting in a lot of effort.

  It's going to be such a blast.
