﻿- Hey guys, my name's Ron White. I'm a two-time USA memory champion. In this video,
I'm gonna show you how to memorize the preamble to the Constitution. All 52 words, "We the people of
the United States," just hang with me, we're gonna get the entire thing memorized. I'm wearing this
shirt, "'Don't make me repeat myself' History," because in this video, we're gonna repeat
ourselves a lot. And this is about history. By the way, I have a memory course called Black Belt
Memory, where you can earn a black belt in memory. If after this video, you're really impressed with
what you learned. Click the link down below and get my memory course, Black Belt Memory. But let's
dive into this. "We the people of the United States "in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, "ensure domestic tranquility, "provide for the common defense, "promote the
general welfare, "and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves "and our posterity,
"do ordain and establish this Constitution "for the United States of America."
Hang with me. You're about to memorize that word for word if you finish this video.
Now here's a cool thing about memory that if you understand it. If you have a place
to put it something, you can always go back to that place and get it. For example, if I gave
you a pen, you would open up a drawer and you'd put the pen in the drawer and you would always
know that that pen was in that drawer. So when you wanted the pen, you would go back to that drawer
and you would pull it out of the drawer and have the pen. Your memory works the same way.
If you can put information in places, drawers, drawers in your memory, you can always go back
and get it. We are gonna build 10 drawers in your memory where we're gonna memorize the preamble of
the Constitution. These drawers are going to be on your body. Hang with me, this is gonna be cool,
follow along, don't give up, and you'll get it. I want everybody to point to the top of your head
and say number one is top. Point to your nose and say number two is nose. Point to your mouth and
say number three is mouth. Number one is top, two is nose, three is mouth. Number four is your ribs,
point to your ribs and say four is ribs. Five is your liver, and six is your hip joint.
Top, nose, mouth, ribs, liver, joint. If I'm goin' too fast, don't worry about it, it's gonna make
sense in a second. Number seven is your kneecap. Just say seven is cap. Number eight. There are
two bones in the bottom part of your leg. There's the tibia and the fibula. Number eight's gonna be
fibula. And I know you're thinkin', "Ron, why are we calling it fibula and not shin?" Don't
worry about it. Later, when you get my Black Belt Memory Course, it'll make sense. Ha, kinda joking,
but kind of true. On the bottom of your foot. Let's just say nine is bottom of our foot. And ten
is the ground we're gonna call it the sand. Let's say these real quick. You don't have to memorize
'em right now, just get a general idea. One is top, two is nose, three is mouth. Four is ribs,
five is liver, six is joint, seven is cap, eight is your fibula, nine is the bottom of your foot,
and ten is the sand. If you have 'em, great, if you don't, don't worry about it. We're gonna walk
through this. Now how do ya use this information to memorize the preamble of the Constitution?
I have broken the preamble of the Constitution down into 10 segments. We're gonna put the
first segment here, or the first phrase here, the next phrase here, the next phrase here,
the next phrase here, the next phrase here, the next phrase here, the next phrase here,
the next phrase here, here, and here, and we're gonna memorize it in 10 segments. The
first segment is, "We the people of the United States." So we have to see this as a picture and
attach it to our first location, which is the top of our head. I want you to see a million people,
a million little people and they're runnin' around on top of your head, and they're sayin'
"We the people of the United States!" Right here is next, right? They are union workers and they
are striking, and the reason they're on strike is to form a more perfect union. Up here, "We the
people of the United States." Now they're marchin' down your nose. "In order to form a more perfect
union." They've got those picket signs, union workers. In order to form a more perfect union.
Don't just listen to me. Don't just listen to this video right now. If you want to memorize this,
you're gonna have to get involved in it. So touch the top of your head and say out loud,
even if you feel silly, we the people of the United States. See people walking down your nose,
say it out loud, even if you feel silly. In order to form a more perfect union. The next
phrase is establish justice. I want you to see a judge's gavel. And it is, boom, pounding down on
your mouth and it's establishing justice. Boom, boom. Now repeat all of these. We the people of
the United States. In order to form a more perfect union. Establish justice. Number four, your ribs.
Ensure domestic tranquility. I want you to imagine you're getting a shot, a tranquilizer shot, and
you're just takin' a nap. Ensure domestic tranquility. Let's review these. We the people
of the United States. In order to form a more perfect union. Establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquility. Number five is your liver. The phrase is, provide for the common defense. For defense,
I want you to imagine a piece of a fence. And common, I want you to look for somethin' really
normal, really common, and it's running straight at you. And you're defending yourself against that
really common thing. Liver, providing for the common defense. Let's start over. We the people
of the United States. In order to form a more perfect union. Establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquility. Provide for the common defense. On your hip joint, I want you to imagine there
is a general, a military general, his last name is Welfare, and he is getting promoted.
Boom, slap some stars on your hip joints. And you're promoting General Welfare. Pat your hip
joint, and repeat after me. Promote the general welfare. Let's start over. We the people of United
States. In order to form a more perfect union. Establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare. Now this next one is the longest
one, most complicated one. It's gonna be on our kneecap. And secure the blessings of liberty,
to ourselves and our posterity. Now for liberty, I think of the Statue of Liberty. Posterity,
the people that come after you. So I have a tie, and it has the Statue of Liberty on it. And I
imagine I'm securing that tie to my knee. And I'm doin' it for myself, and for everybody who comes
after me, my posterity. Here's the phrase. I want you to look at your knee and imagine
you're tying that Statue of Liberty tie to your knee. But as you are, you are saying the phrase,
and secure the blessings of liberty to myself, to ourselves, and our posterity. Look at your knee
and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Number eight,
your fibula. I want you to see a Great Dane dog. And he is establishing his territory.
Peeing on your leg, right there. Say the phrase, do ordain and establish. And let's go back and
let's repeat all this. We the people of the United States. In order to form a more perfect union.
Establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the
general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Do ordain,
a Great Dane, establishing his territory, do ordain and establish. The bottom of your feet,
I want you to imagine this constitution, a piece of paper. You're standing on this Constitution.
And on the ground, I want you to see a map of the United States, and there's four of them. For
the United States of America. Four, look at the ground and see four United States and say,
for the United States of America. Set's say this over, let's just take it from the top.
We the people of the United States. In order to form a more perfect union. Establish justice,
ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America. Now I know
I went really, really, really fast with this, but here's the beauty of videos. If you didn't get it,
you can go back and watch it again. If you didn't get it, you can go back and watch it again.
That's the beauty of videos, and that's why I go kind of fast. Also, I'm gonna put the text to the
preamble in the description of this video. So if you're not really understanding what I'm sayin',
read the text of this. But one last time together. Top of our head, million people walkin' around,
we the people. They are union workers striking. They're picketing, in order to form a more perfect
union. Establish justice, a tranquilizer shot. Ensure domestic tranquility. A fence,
defense. Provide for the common defense. Promote the general welfare. This is the longest one.
And secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. A Great Dane establishing
his territory, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
