if you go back if you read jefferson's
letters as i'd as i did a good those of
you who know the story before we started
this radio show
back in nineteen ninety-six louise and i
sold an advertising agency in atlanta
on a seven-year buy out to our employees
and we basically retire
to vermont said okay we're going to you
know
take some time off
we've been working our butts off
ten twelve hour days six seven days a
week
free for about six years and we said
okay that's it we're going to take some
time off and and write some books manan
and the brady about a book a year
and the and i dont doesn't rattling on
behalf of uh... salem international and
then just beat up
and we had so we bought this house in
vermont
and in the attic of the house in the
attic actually of the carriage house the
uh... the the sort of garage only was
too small to be a garage visit was
built back when they had buggies
we found this box of books
and in that box about was the the
firsts collected and it's only been
published twice minister united states
once eighteen twenty-eight once in
nineteen oh nine
he collected writings of thomas
jefferson everything he wrote
millions and millions of words
his personal diaries
his notes on the state of virginia
his letters
both the ones you sent and then the ones
who received
and his is is originally you know his
declaration on
religious freedom in virginia which he
was so proud of the atoms tombstone
instead of the fact that he was
president
is presidential papers they basically
everything
they're just lived inside this guy's
head for two years mandatory into books
is resolved but one
unequal protection how corporations
became people and what we can do to
fight back in the second is what would
call a jefferson do
which is a book that doesn't get
anywhere near the uh...
the the publicity that he should do
he said
i need to mention more often cuz it's a
really what whichever senate debbie
debbie jadi you know around what would
jesus do we know what we're
jeffersonville
uh... is
and n in that book
actually i quote from one of jefferson's
letters right it's covered that he was
talking about
that's three
forces that he
fear the three historic tyrannies is the
phrase he used
that the united states was being
established
to prevent from ever arising again
so what are those three historic
terrains
and what does this have to do with our
guest in the third hour with what
william goodling which is saying
the three historic tyrannies are very
simple and jefferson laid them out
very bluntly
number one warlord king's people who
rise to power by virtue of the fact that
they are giant bullies and they are
violent and their physical and there
will be they're willing to rob rape
pillage in stealing popular way to the
top of the pile
and that's basically how all the
kingdoms of europe began
and that's how many of the maintain
their power over the years
weather was the right of the first
nighter weather was continual warfare
with other nearby king's where they make
sure that the king's themselves their
real families are never hurt
but the serfs always were fighting with
each other you know whatever was king
the warlord kings
number two he was concerned about the
theocratic
at the time he was president as states
in eighteen hundred eighteen oh eight
retail wonder
if you know nine arguably and thomas
jefferson
it during that time the catholic church
control about three quarters to europe
above europe what is now europe it was
the catholic empire
asus before the the
battalion
revolution in but was in the eighteen
forty c eighteen seventies when ever was
in italy basically took back you know so
fed up our body
then the vatican tramped down for the
sole southerners
squirm i cited soho square miles to
couple square mile
period that i can say
but he was concerned about the
theocratic it wasn't just the catholic
the aggressed by the way the is
concerned about he was particularly
concerned
about the pilgrimage here at the expense
cromwell in his bunch who had taken over
in london and they had come to
massachusetts
and they were burning they weren't there
they were burning which is here in the
assets are hanging up and drowning them
that when jefferson was a child
there was still going on
and he was horrified by that and the
third was he was horrified by
the third share any of the rich
and so he wanted to help set up a nation
that people and mass
and moss
that the people as a whole
would have all the power of make all the
decisions that he was so explicit about
this over and over and over again
but the power war
judgment wars all over the house
representatives elected every two years
is closest to the people
at the power to appropriate money for
defense is only in the house
representatives and in fact they can
only appropriate money for defense for
two year period
is for secretary award that william not
his old friend one off to get an
american-made sudah torture that's very
good at it
and and now this is the flipped upside
down and we've got a flip it back
