Good afternoon, patriots. Welcome to Constitution Radio, where we don’t just talk about liberty—we defend it.
Let’s begin today with a word that’s been dragged through the mud, twisted, redefined, and even denied: truth.
Thomas Jefferson penned the immortal words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” Not opinions. Not trends. Not feelings. Truths. Self-evident. So clear, so foundational, that they require no explanation—only recognition.
But today, truth is under siege.
Those who oppose the Constitution call it outdated, irrelevant, a relic of a bygone era. And yet, when it suits their agenda, they wrap themselves in its language like a cloak of legitimacy. But beware: when they do, it’s often not truth they’re invoking—it’s manipulation. Because tyranny, by its very nature, cannot coexist with truth. Tyranny thrives in the shadows of deception. It fears the light of truth because truth exposes its lies.
Let’s be clear: truth doesn’t change. The truth about liberty and tyranny hasn’t changed since 1776. The need for limited government, for checks and balances, for the separation of powers—these are not outdated ideas. They are timeless safeguards. They are the architecture of freedom.
Truth doesn’t go out of style. It walks hand in hand with tradition and morality. It is anchored in facts, in common sense, and it is protected—when we allow it to be—by sound education and critical thinking.
But today, truth is on the ropes. We live in an age where wrong is called right, and right is condemned as wrong. Where the merchants of deceit peddle “their truth” as if truth were a matter of personal taste, like choosing a flavor of ice cream. They say the old truths are dead. But let me tell you something: when truth dies, civilizations die with it.
The Constitution is not just a document—it is a declaration of truth. Biblical principles are not just religious ideals—they are moral truths. And if we are searching for a way back to the America we remember—the America that rose from the ashes of the American Revolution and again from the War Between the States and became the beacon of Western Civilization—we must return to the truth.
Truth is what America is built on. Constitutional truth. Biblical truth. Enduring truth. And the future of this republic depends on our willingness to defend it.
Because without America, truth dies. And when truth dies, liberty follows.
So today, as we begin this broadcast, let us remember: truth is the key. And we have known from the beginning that not only will the truth set you free—but that these truths are self-evident.
Let’s get to work.
