=== Why Know Your Bill of Rights? (03:51) ===

[00:00:00]  I'm down here on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin.
[00:00:03]  We are asking students whether or not they know their Bill of Rights.
[00:00:07]  Can either of you name any of the Bill of Rights?
[00:00:10]  Um... Most of them.
[00:00:15]  Not under pressure.
[00:00:17]  Not under pressure.
[00:00:18]  Do you think it might be important to know the Bill of Rights?
[00:00:22]  Yeah.
[00:00:24]  Why?
[00:00:24]  Is it the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
[00:00:29]  There you go.
[00:00:30]  Yeah.
[00:00:30]  Do you know the first one?
[00:00:32]  The most important reason why you need to learn them is because your generation may see the last of them.
[00:00:43]  So it's really important that you know what your rights are so that you can do something to hold on to them.
[00:00:50]  Will you do that for me?
[00:00:53]  Sir, can you name me the Bill of Rights?
[00:00:56]  Not today, sorry.
[00:00:57]  Not today.
[00:00:59]  I guess America can wait.
[00:01:01]  Ma'am, can you name any of the Bill of Rights?
[00:01:05]  The Bill of Rights?
[00:01:08]  Uh... The right to... I'm not even going to say it.
[00:01:10]  I don't want to look stupid.
[00:01:13]  The right to a fair and speedy trial?
[00:01:15]  You must have been in court recently.
[00:01:17]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:01:18]  I have experience with that one.
[00:01:19]  Ma'am, can you name any of the Bill of Rights?
[00:01:22]  Nope.
[00:01:22]  Not trying to, you know.
[00:01:24]  The right to bear arms.
[00:01:27]  The right to bear arms?
[00:01:27]  What?
[00:01:28]  Gentlemen, Bill of Rights, name any of them?
[00:01:31]  Nothing.
[00:01:32]  Go Canada.
[00:01:33]  Go Canada?
[00:01:34]  Okay.
[00:01:35]  Do you know your Bill of Rights?
[00:01:39]  Ma'am, Bill of Rights?
[00:01:42]  The Bill of Rights?
[00:01:44]  The American Bill of Rights?
[00:01:46]  No.
[00:01:47]  Shame on you.
[00:01:48]  No.
[00:01:49]  Okay, well I'll give you one.
[00:01:50]  Which one?
[00:01:51]  One through ten, just pick one.
[00:01:53]  Five.
[00:01:54]  Five.
[00:01:54]  You have the right to not say anything if you've been incriminated.
[00:01:59]  Zip it.
[00:02:01]  Until you get a lawyer.
[00:02:03]  Okay.
[00:02:04]  Remember that.
[00:02:05]  It may come in handy.
[00:02:06]  Who knows?
[00:02:06]  It could come in handy in the next twenty minutes.
[00:02:09]  Okay.
[00:02:10]  Number one, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
[00:02:15]  Beautiful thing.
[00:02:16]  Yeah, it is.
[00:02:16]  It's a beautiful thing being an American, isn't it?
[00:02:18]  Having all these rights.
[00:02:20]  Yeah.
[00:02:20]  Well, shame on us for not knowing them, right?
[00:02:23]  You're right.
[00:02:24]  Okay, go revisit your rights.
[00:02:27]  Bill of Rights.
[00:02:28]  Name any of the Bill of Rights.
[00:02:29]  I have to go to class.
[00:02:31]  Right, Bill of Rights.
[00:02:33]  I really want to stop and talk to you, but I have to go to class right now.
[00:02:36]  Yes, very trendy.
[00:02:38]  Can you guys name any of the Bill of Rights?
[00:02:41]  You ever heard of those?
[00:02:42]  Yes, of course.
[00:02:43]  Love InfoWars, by the way.
[00:02:46]  First is the freedom to speech.
[00:02:49]  Includes freedom of religion.
[00:02:51]  You also have the freedom against unlawful searches and seizures.
[00:02:57]  Tenth Amendment to all rights not allotted to the federal government should be allowed the states.
[00:03:05]  The state should have the power to legislate their own.
[00:03:09]  Well, whoever's paying for your education, I salute them.
[00:03:13]  I'm a true organic man.
[00:03:15]  I'm an endangered species.
[00:03:18]  Can you name any of the Bill of Rights?
[00:03:24]  Can you remind me what the Bill of Rights is?
[00:03:26]  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?
[00:03:36]  I have the right to not have the government have my information.

=== Be Aware (00:42) ===

[00:03:40]  I have a Fourth Amendment.
[00:03:42]  Okay?
[00:03:43]  Right.
[00:03:44]  I have right to privacy.
[00:03:47]  And whether or not you don't care doesn't matter to me.
[00:03:52]  Personally, I don't want that in my life.
[00:03:55]  And that's my right as an American citizen.
[00:03:57]  So, they have no right to take that away.
[00:04:02]  I mean, I can't argue with them.
[00:04:03]  I mean, that's... The Bill of Rights.
[00:04:05]  America, the Bill of Rights.
[00:04:07]  You can name any of them.
[00:04:09]  Are you aware that you're paying for a college education?
[00:04:14]  Be very aware, ladies and gentlemen, this next generation coming down the pike doesn't really know their Bill of Rights.
