Yeah. So what happens when that cough turns into a fever? When a doctor isn't closed, the pharmacy isn't open? What happens when the supply chain gets stretched so thin or even break? The medications you've always taken for granted are now incredibly precious and rare. What happens when that thin thread of security that our society lives in snaps?

This is a year before we have the Declaration of Independence. Declaration of Independence was, was still a long way out. We were still going back and forth and fighting. And most of our founders, you have to remember this, they loved the country. I can really relate to the, the founders and the, the patriots back in the 1700s because they're very much like the patriots of today. They don't want to be violent, they're not looking for a revolution. They keep saying, please, you're, please don't do that. What are you doing to us? Don't, please. And they would go back and forth across the ocean to make a plea to the king and the king would listen to him and he'd make fun of them, usually because they were ill dressed. It really is like they were a bunch of red staters, you know what I mean? Where, you know, you go to Washington and all these people in their fancy suits and everything else and a guy comes in who's been working in the fields, he's not dressed like that, he doesn't have a fancy suit, he's not wearing, you know, some sort of Gucci shoe or whatever. That's what our founders look like to the king. And we kept going back year after year after year, six months to travel just to be able to stand in front of and go, look, we've written you so many times on this, please don't do this. And so they start to reach over decades, they start to reach a boiling point. Now it is, it's March 1775. We're about a year and four months away, three months away from the Declaration of Independence. And there's whisper of rebellion and everybody has split up into little camps. And the second Virginia convention is happening and it's there inside of St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. And everybody is there and everybody is waiting to see what's happening. You're just at the beginning of the scent of the spring blossoms, but the atmosphere inside it, I mean, imagine unwashed, you know, military coats and everything else and everybody's Sweating and worrying about it was. It probably didn't smell like roses inside the room. I'm just saying. And here we were, we were teetering on the brink of war, and that was a really, really bad idea. So they decided in Virginia, we have to convene again and come together and decide what are we going to do? And everybody had an opinion. And the Loyalists, the ones that were loyal to the Crown, Even George Washington was loyal to the crown. He wasn't a Loyalist per se. Didn't kind of join that party, but there isn't a single founder, except maybe, I don't know, Stu, maybe Thomas Jefferson. There wasn't anyone who was like, let's break away. They. That was the last thing they wanted to do. They loved their country. They just wanted to stop being singled out. So they are hoping, the Loyalists are hoping that we'll get back together with George iii and, you know, hey, hey, he's just doing this, but he'll come to his senses. But they did the Stamp act, the Tea act, the shutting of Boston Harbor. They did all of these things to slap us in the face and say, you're nothing. Sit down and shut up. So in secret, our militias start to drill, and the muskets come off from everybody's. Over the hearth of their fireplace. The muskets start coming off from under, you know, above the fireplace. But there hasn't been any real, real uprising yet. And everybody's watching Virginia. What are they going to do? Continental Congress had met the previous year, and the whispers of independence had grown even louder. But we weren't. Nothing was happening yet. So they're sitting in this convention, and they're sitting in this church, and the benches are creaking and, you know, people like George Washington sitting in the room. And this guy stands up. They say he had a voice that could shake the rafters. He gets up from his seat. He doesn't have a powdered wig on, so he was, you know, not one of the elites. He stands up without any notes, no script, just had heard enough. And he stands up and he said, gentlemen may cry peace. Peace, but there is no peace. His eyes sweep the room. The war, gentlemen, has already begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north is going to bring our ears. The clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already out in the field. Why are we standing here doing nothing? Why stand us here idle? No one had an answer, and he wasn't done. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? What A great question. You want peace, we all want peace. But what's the price of that peace? Forbid it. God Almighty. I know not what course you might take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. Some people jump to their feet, some people sat on their hands, but everybody in the room felt it and were stunned. And the windows of the church had been opened, and there were people out in the streets listening. And when he said that, the roar in the streets was heard. This is the speech that tipped the scales. It. This was the speech that Virginia voted to arm itself. This was a big deal because only Massachusetts was. There was a fight simmering there. And within weeks, on April 19, just a few weeks from now, the shots at Lexington and Concord really started the Revolutionary War. I can't wait to tell you the true story of Lexington and Concord, because there are things that we're now finding that when you hear what our patriots did and who was standing on those fields and how that came about, it's stunning and tells you everything you need to know about the birth of our nation. But when they were on the fields in just a couple of weeks from now, they were. You could hear the battle cries, give me liberty or give me death. That's before you had any kind of social media or calling people up on phones. Nobody, Nobody, you know, was sitting there with FaceTime open, showing it Instagram. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can you say that again? I just. I just want to post this on X. This had to travel mouth to mouth. Today's the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry. He became huge after this. He was. He was known, but he became absolutely huge. But it also took his toll. He had all kinds of things. Right before he gave his speech, I think his first wife died, and he had six children with her. And then he remarried later and he had 12 more children. I don't feel bad for him because I'm sure he was like, oh, gotta go. Yeah, I got some big things to do around the state Capitol, so have fun. I feel bad for the wife. He was never captured by the British. He was a. He was a big deal because the King wanted him dead, because he was a symbol of the resistance. He was the first one that said, how high of a price are you willing to pay on your freedom? How much are you willing to trade away? The same question could be asked today. How much more of this are you willing to trade away? Just look at how you have been so horribly abused with the irs. Every single one of us. I don't care how much you pay or how much you don't pay. I don't care if you've never paid income tax because you're at a lower level. How. How have you been abused? Every dollar that this country has taken in and then wasted and wasted in ways you can't even begin to understand or. Or recognize things that. Things that are so horrible that most people are saying, well, it was just that one. No, it's not. No, it's not. This is what the government has become. It has become a printing machine. Printing money that we don't have, Borrowing and spending money that we don't have that will inflate your money so you have even less, and then on top of it, lock you and your children into an interest rate that they won't be able to afford. And what do we have for it? What do we. Honestly. What do we have for it? Show me. Show me what we have of lasting value. It's one thing to say, well, we're investing in the country. Okay, show me. Show me what you invested in. I want to actually see it. I want you to show me the tangible things. Well, roads and highways. That's local in state. What are you doing again? Well, the interstate, you know, we've been doing that since the 1950s. I don't. I don't. I don't understand how. I mean, that's where. Trillions of dollars of debt in debt because of that. Well, we protect you. Yeah, you sure do. And how. How much waste has happened in the Pentagon? You know what you're doing? You are taking this money and you are funneling it through NGOs who claim to be fighting whatever, but they're all your friends. And you and your friends and everybody else is not only getting rich off of my money, but you're also using that money to fight against the principles that Patrick Henry stood up for, and we're just taking it. Why? Well, because our life is easy. Is it, though, really? Is it going to be for long if we keep this up? Is it going to be. I got to tell you, 2009, 10. It was kind of a theory that our lives had changed. 2008, the banking crisis. Oh, our lives changed. Have we really recovered from that? Or is our recovery just recovery with bogus money? It's bogus money. It's coming again. They didn't fix anything. In fact, they made it worse. How much is your liberty worth? How much is your choosing your own course and destination and making sure that that highway that you've paid for is there for your children. Because I don't know what's going to be there for my children. Because this government has grown hostile to all of the things that. That are not. They're not conservative. They're just common sense. It's math. That's what's happening. When you're standing up against Doge. You might as well have a T shirt that says, I don't believe in math. I don't know. I do, and I'm not willing to take it anymore. We are sitting around a bunch of people who are saying, don't believe in math. Sorry. I believe in math. You keep saying, follow the science. We are. And every time we follow the science when it gets too close to the source, you're like, well, not that science. Oh, okay. I thought you just said, well, yeah, follow our science, our math. 2 and 2 can equal 5 if you can show me your work. But if I show you my work, it'll still equal four. Yeah, I know, but you'll get credit for five, because who knows? Might be five. What? I don't know. What is it going to take? I am glad we are not going and grabbing guns. I don't want that. And I am really glad that the second American Revolution began at the ballot box and it is still being fought. But you will notice, with every Tesla they set on fire, everybody they try to terrorize or intimidate, they are fighting a war. May God help us never to get to a place to where we're fighting with guns. But let's be very clear, this is a war. And they're willing to burn down, destroy, and kill to get their way. Let's all just do the simple thing. Stick together, stick with the truth and nothing but the truth. Stand up for the truth, don't take it anymore. And support the people who are actually involved in a revolution to restore the these first principles of our nation.
