I'm down here on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin.
|
|
We are asking students whether or not they know their Bill of Rights.
|
|
Can either of you name any of the Bill of Rights?
|
|
Um... Most of them.
|
|
Not under pressure.
|
|
Not under pressure.
|
|
Do you think it might be important to know the Bill of Rights?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Why?
|
|
Is it the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
|
|
There you go.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Do you know the first one?
|
|
The most important reason why you need to learn them is because your generation may see the last of them.
|
|
So it's really important that you know what your rights are so that you can do something to hold on to them.
|
|
Will you do that for me?
|
|
Sir, can you name me the Bill of Rights?
|
|
Not today, sorry.
|
|
Not today.
|
|
I guess America can wait.
|
|
Ma'am, can you name any of the Bill of Rights?
|
|
The Bill of Rights?
|
|
Uh... The right to... I'm not even going to say it.
|
|
I don't want to look stupid.
|
|
The right to a fair and speedy trial?
|
|
You must have been in court recently.
|
|
Yeah, exactly.
|
|
I have experience with that one.
|
|
Ma'am, can you name any of the Bill of Rights?
|
|
Nope.
|
|
Not trying to, you know.
|
|
The right to bear arms.
|
|
The right to bear arms?
|
|
What?
|
|
Gentlemen, Bill of Rights, name any of them?
|
|
Nothing.
|
|
Go Canada.
|
|
Go Canada?
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Do you know your Bill of Rights?
|
|
Ma'am, Bill of Rights?
|
|
The Bill of Rights?
|
|
The American Bill of Rights?
|
|
No.
|
|
Shame on you.
|
|
No.
|
|
Okay, well I'll give you one.
|
|
Which one?
|
|
One through ten, just pick one.
|
|
Five.
|
|
Five.
|
|
You have the right to not say anything if you've been incriminated.
|
|
Zip it.
|
|
Until you get a lawyer.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Remember that.
|
|
It may come in handy.
|
|
Who knows?
|
|
It could come in handy in the next twenty minutes.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Number one, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
|
|
Beautiful thing.
|
|
Yeah, it is.
|
|
It's a beautiful thing being an American, isn't it?
|
|
Having all these rights.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, shame on us for not knowing them, right?
|
|
You're right.
|
|
Okay, go revisit your rights.
|
|
Bill of Rights.
|
|
Name any of the Bill of Rights.
|
|
I have to go to class.
|
|
Right, Bill of Rights.
|
|
I really want to stop and talk to you, but I have to go to class right now.
|
|
Yes, very trendy.
|
|
Can you guys name any of the Bill of Rights?
|
|
You ever heard of those?
|
|
Yes, of course.
|
|
Love InfoWars, by the way.
|
|
First is the freedom to speech.
|
|
Includes freedom of religion.
|
|
You also have the freedom against unlawful searches and seizures.
|
|
Tenth Amendment to all rights not allotted to the federal government should be allowed the states.
|
|
The state should have the power to legislate their own.
|
|
Well, whoever's paying for your education, I salute them.
|
|
I'm a true organic man.
|
|
I'm an endangered species.
|
|
Can you name any of the Bill of Rights?
|
|
Can you remind me what the Bill of Rights is?
|
|
I really don't think it's an issue for the government to have information, but at the same time, you know, is, you know... Well, how about this?
|
|
I have the right to not have the government have my information.
|
|
I have a Fourth Amendment.
|
|
Okay?
|
|
Right.
|
|
I have right to privacy.
|
|
And whether or not you don't care doesn't matter to me.
|
|
Personally, I don't want that in my life.
|
|
And that's my right as an American citizen.
|
|
So, they have no right to take that away.
|
|
I mean, I can't argue with them.
|
|
I mean, that's... The Bill of Rights.
|
|
America, the Bill of Rights.
|
|
You can name any of them.
|
|
Are you aware that you're paying for a college education?
|
|
Be very aware, ladies and gentlemen, this next generation coming down the pike doesn't really know their Bill of Rights.
