|
| 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? | |
| What? | |
| Gentlemen, Bill of Rights, name any of them? | |
| Nothing. | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |
