Summary
On this Constitution Day, Charlie issues an impassioned defense of the embattled Constitution. Under siege seemingly from all sides and from a metastasized and corrupt fourth, bureaucratic branch of unelected partisans, Charlie lays out exactly why you should defend, revere, and uphold the Constitution as the greatest political document ever authored. If you have ever wondered why Charlie says America is the greatest country ever to exist? If you're wondering how the current political moment threatens the constitutional foundation of our nation? And if you're wondering how we can fight to defend it, this is a can't miss episode. Share this episode with your friends, family, and especially Gen Zs who disagree with you, as we fight to inspire another generation to revere America's founding documents.

| 0:06.7 | States Constitution. Before we get into that, I want to tell you guys about thinker.org |

| 0:17.2 | So I want to talk about the thinker.org book of the week. The one that we want to talk |
| 0:22.0 | about is the Federalist Papers. The Federalist Papers were anonymously written articles that were |
| 0:27.8 | done after the Constitutional Convention written by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay. Now, I encourage |
| 0:34.2 | you to read the actual Federalist Papers, but you guys can get the big ideas |
| 0:38.8 | very quickly at thinker.org slash Charlie. For the sake of the common good, decisions should |
| 0:45.0 | follow from evidence rather than emotions or personal interest, Madison wrote. One of the |
| 0:49.8 | biggest advantages to a union is its ability to deal well with factions. This idea of factionalism is a big |
| 0:55.9 | deal in the Federalist papers. A republic is the only form of government, worthy of the American people, |
| 1:02.2 | but will we remain worthy of them? And a system of checks and balances harness human natural |
| 1:07.6 | tendencies to hold onto power in ways that protect citizens from tyranny. |
