0:00.0	Welcome, everybody, the Jim Acosta show on this Wednesday, and I can't think of a better guess heading into this 4th of July weekend.
0:06.4	In between your barbecues and your trips to the beach, please spend some time to read the piece from the man on the right side of your screen.
0:14.2	That is former U.S. Courts of Appeals Judge Jay Michael Ludig.
0:18.8	He has a new substack out just in time for Independence Day. It's up on the
0:22.5	TELUS substack account run by our friend, Ryan Lizzie. Gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us.
0:28.4	Really appreciate it. Great to see you, Judge. Great to see you, Ryan. Thanks, Jim. Thank you, Jim.
0:33.2	It's a real honor for me to be on with you today.
0:39.3	No, and it's great to be on with you. And I know we've spoken before, and I think it was before the election, perhaps the last time we spoke.
0:45.4	And there was a lot on your mind then.
0:47.3	There appears to be a lot on your mind now.

1:07.4	find a quiet place without distractions, and read this piece carefully. That's when
1:11.4	the power of what he has written will hit you. And then, Judge, you write, and just everybody can
1:18.2	indulge me for just a moment, because I want this to sink in. This is what the judge writes.
1:22.9	When the tyrannical reign of King George III became destructive of the ends of government by law
1:28.5	under which all persons are equal and endowed with certain inalable rights, the American
1:33.4	colonists declared their independence from the British king, chronicling 27 grievances
1:38.4	of self-evident truths about tyranny as reasons for their Declaration of Independence.
1:43.0	On this July 4th, 2025, the eve of the 250th anniversary of America's Declaration of Independence and the founding of this nation, we the people hold to be self-evident, these 27 truths about freedom and about tyranny.
