The Michael Berry show

There are certain things that are immutable truths

There are concepts that are explained in such a manner

And I think they break through and they really give you perspective the problem is we get busy, we forget, and we need to be

reminded. You know an interesting thing, I've read a lot about how we're different

today than the founding fathers and the founding fathers took Latin and I mean they took it seriously and I read this early in life and I was very impressed by this and I took Latin seriously myself because it is the root of words and as we've as you know I love words and I love where they come from and their meanings and how they're used and how they're pronounced and how they vary

accruing. Language and communication is very important to me. But it's

interesting that something can be so powerful and then it just kind of gets pushed to the recesses of our minds.

So I'd like to play something for you.

It's called Freedom to Chains. It's from Paul Paul Harvey and it's one of the most powerful things I think I've ever heard

It is him talking about

Going from a free nation to being enslaved.

99.9% of history is mankind

being enslaved to a king, a dictator,

an emperor, whatever you want to call it.

Freedom is hard to achieve. That's why Ben Franklin said a republic if we can keep it

because people will tend towards slavery. Hard to believe but they will. They won't

know they're doing it. But as Paul Harvey will explain here, when they're

looking for security, when they're they're looking to not have to struggle, they're

looking for the government solving all their problems.

Everybody will have a job. Everybody will have something to eat.

You're enslaving yourself.
