[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms) What is the fourth commandment?

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=4) There you go. Remember the Sabbath. Keep the Sabbath, uh- That was being here Part of keeping the Sabbath holy is not working on the Sabbath.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=11) That is, that is, um, yeah. What day is the Jewish Sabbath?

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=16) It is on Saturday. And what day is it today?

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=19) It is Saturday. Here we are. The, the Christian Sabbath is what day?

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=24) Sunday, in honor of the day that Jesus rose from the dead.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=27) And we're scheduled to give this bill a final vote on what day of the week?

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=31) It's ironic, isn't it? Would you be willing to postpone your bill so that we're not breaking the Ten Commandments- ... by working on the Jewish or Christian Sabbath?

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=41) I love that you said that because- You're saying that you'd rather tell people to follow the Ten Commandments than follow it yourself?

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=48) I would have rather have fol- had this bill passed the other day when it was time. Sorry, I can't repeat anything.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=53) We as a legislature are about to force every teacher in the state to post the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. If they are donated.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=61) Do members of the Texas Legislature follow the Ten Commandments?

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=64) So again, this bill is about honoring our historical, educational, and judicial heritage with the, with the displaying of the Ten Commandments.

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=75) The ninth commandment is, "Thou shall not bear false witness."

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=79) Are you aware of any legislators who have lied about anything?

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=82) Not that I'm aware of. Not that I'm aware of.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=84) Not lying in the classroom. That is- Does- You know, you know, there, there might be one coming up in a minute if you keep talking. We'll see.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=92) The seventh commandment is, "Thou shall not commit adultery."

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=96) Yes. You passed it. Do you think that members of the legislature should focus more on trying to follow the Ten Commandments rather than telling others to follow them?

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=107) Maybe they didn't have them posted. I am, I am, um...

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/l5zEOji7rnzo/en/texas-lawmakers-debate-ten-commandments-in-classrooms?t=111) Oh. You know, it is, it is incumbent on all of us to follow God's law.
