Benjamin Franklin warned, “This can only end in despotism.” He knew that when the people themselves become corrupt, liberty doesn’t stand a chance. He wasn’t alone – founders and the great thinkers they learned from saw it over and over again: no matter the system, no matter the laws, once the people decay, tyranny follows. Guaranteed. And today, we’re on that same path – not because we’re being forced, but because we’ve chosen it. This episode is about the one corruption no constitution can fix: the corruption of the people themselves.
