Well, hello, Jeff, thank you. Yes, I am Rachel, a

on social media. I farm with my brother Vinnie, and

13
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.719
then I also have Pride of Pork. It's a TV

14
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.759
show that airs on Acres TV, and I do video

15
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.600
content with my people of egg.

16
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.319
So long you've been out in the farming.

17
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.200
Business, Well, I mean I've been in the farming world

18
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.079
all of my life. I've been well, I.

19
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.959
Was kind of referring to I'm just wondering for one

20
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.519
of those family handed down farms. How far long have

21
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:16.680
you your family been farming?

22
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.400
So my family's been farming for seven or eight generations,

23
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.959
and the farm that my brother and I farm we

24
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
rent from our grandparents, and that was brought into our

25
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.519
family in the eighteen sixties.

26
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.959
Oh jeez, you guys know what you're doing now. I'm

27
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.359
gonna apple cry. All right. I have to ask the

28
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.280
one question everybody asked everybody for I Oh, okay, So

29
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:41.719
have you been to the farm where the field of

30
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:42.400
dreams were shot?

31
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:43.400
I have?

32
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.840
Is it really actually a baseball diamond? Still?

33
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.040
Yes, it is. It's beautiful?

34
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.359
Is it all right? We're going to do some you

35
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:51.480
know what we're celebrating today?

36
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.280
No, what are we celebrating?

37
00:01:54.239 --> 00:02:02.200
Good jeez, she's old.

38
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.159
She's taking.

39
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.400
She's taking bunch and O she's taking bunching only she's

40
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.000
taking cheese, taking cobaba.

41
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.599
She's taking.

42
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.400
Today is National Cheesecake Day. Cheesecake. They're created an ancient

43
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.240
grease around seven to seventy five BC, start out as

44
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.960
wedding cakes. On a side note, though it's kind of

45
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.199
sad cheesecakes. They are not healthy for us at all,

46
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.840
But on the bright side, they come in every flavor

47
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.759
so we can all get back together with something we like. Now,

48
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.680
there's not really a lot of deals was going on today,

49
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.719
probably because it's towards the end of the week or something.

50
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.319
But of course you know who's having the biggest deal

51
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.800
the cheesecake factory. Then get this white castle. They actually

52
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.080
have something called cheeseteak on a stick. Who knew? All right,

53
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.159
So can you cook a cheesecake?

54
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.719
They are really hard for me to make, but every

55
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.800
once in a while I try.

56
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.759
I think they're kind of hard for everybody to make.

57
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.120
You a good cook, I would say I'm average.

58
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.240
So okay, Well, you had mentioned your TV show what's

59
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:01.639
that about?

60
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.680
Pride of Pork? So I take people behind the scenes

61
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.680
of the pork industry, meeting the farmers, the professionals that

62
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.680
help us put equipment in our barns, and the veterinarians

63
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.919
and sharing pork news and also some pork recipes.

64
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.639
So no pork cheesecakes.

65
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.360
So huh, no pork cheesecake. But I did have an

66
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.319
amazing coronat, a maple coronat with bacon on top that

67
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:26.199
was delicious.

68
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.800
Oh that does sound good. So what's the difference between

69
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.120
bacon and just when they talk about just like the

70
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.919
regular belly, it's the thickness.

71
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.039
The regular belly is uncured, and it also has more fat.

72
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.560
The bacon is cut off of there and cured.

73
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.360
Oh so let's fat them. Is bacon's healthy? Huh?

74
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:47.919
I would say it's healthy.

75
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.120
Okay, let's say just going on entertainment on July thirtieth,

76
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.400

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.519
He was nineteen fifty four. Elvis Presley made his professional

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.279
singing debut. He opened up for some witmen at a

90
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.160
country in Western Jambrie. Now Elvis he did sing on

91
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:09.759
stage when he was only ten years old. Yeah, I

92
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.399

of ag.

97
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.519
Oh, anything and everything agriculture. I love talking about, or

98
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.920
not talking about, but talking to people who work in

99
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.839
egg and they explain what they do and how they

100
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.199
help others, and it's just a fun learning experience for us.

101
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.240
All yeah, you gotta like those fun shows like that.

102
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:37.839
All right, are you ready to see what happened on

103
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.519
July the thirtieth, Yes, it was thirty BC. It was

104
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.360
the Battle of Alexandria. Mark Anthony his army was able

105
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.000
to beat Octavian's army. Now it wasn't a big debut,

106
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.480
but Octavian they all retreated and everything. Now no one

107
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.399
wrote down why, but for some reason Mark Anthony's army

108
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.800
they all deserted over the night. So the next morning

109
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.680
Octavian woke up and said, okay, and he just invaded Egypt.

110
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.839
Eighteen sixty three, President Abraham Lincoln he signed his eye

111
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.279
for an eye order. See. Reports were coming out that

112
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.240
the Confederate Army, that they were shooting black soldiers who

113
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.240
were taken prisoner who were fighting for the Union Army,

114
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.959
so Abe declared that for every black prisoner that was shot,

115
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.519
a white prisoner would be shot. Also. Yeah, that pretty

116
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.000
much put a stop to that. Eighteen sixty nine, the

117
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.920
world's first oil tanker, it's called the Charles, made his

118
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.759
first voyage. It left the United States sty headed over

119
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.639
to Europe. Now it was completely full, had a little

120
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.399
over seven thousand barrels of oil on it. For a comparison,

121
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.040
the tankers today they have almost two million barrels of oil.

122
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.680
Wondering how much is two million barrels of oil? About

123
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.279
eighty four million gallons? Do you have any fun factoris

124
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.600
about pigs you can share with us today? Hmmm.

125
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.600
A pig is pregnant for three months, three weeks and

126
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.639
three days three to three Yes, and let's see here.

127
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.439
You want a couple more facts. Washington County, Iowa is

128
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.319
that one of the largest pork producing counties in the

129
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.600
state of Iowa, and Iowa was one of the most

130
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.879
the largest pork producing state in the country. So that

131
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
kind of puts us in the heart of really raising

132
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.600
pork for your tables.

133
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.000
I think everybody kind of lacks pork with it. When

134
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.240
to admit it or not. Are Do you know anything

135
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.560
that happened in World War Two today?

136
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:11.680
I do not?

137
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.480
Well, I do. I'm sorry I do. World War two

138
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.639
nineteen forty five, the United States suffered its worst loss

139
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.800
of life from a single ship. A Japanese torpedo struck

140
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:28.720
the USS Indianapolis. The warship sank in about twelve minutes. Unfortunately,

141
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.879
three hundred men died immediately. Over nine hundred ended up

142
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.040
floating in the ocean, and they did not have time

143
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.199
to deploy life rafts. Most of the men did have

144
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:44.720
life preservers. The water, unfortunately, was really shark confessed the

145
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.240
men had no food or water. No one knew the

146
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.600
ship was even missing until four days later. A US

147
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.600
plane saw it as it flew over, and it wasn't

148
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.000
even looking for it. So when the Indianapolis was hit

149
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.120
by the torpedo had just finished a top secret mission.

150
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.079
It had just delivered the parts for a little Boy

151
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:11.360
nuclear bomb that will be dropped on the Harishima in

152
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.600
a couple of days. No one was looking for them

153
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.240
because they assumed the ship was maintaining radio silence. Of

154
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.040
the one ninety five men on the ship, only three

155
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.800
hundred and sixteen survived, and to make matters worse, a

156
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.279
majority of them who died were eaten by sharks.

157
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.159
Now that story, because it was kind of top secret,

158
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.360
it was kind of lost to history. But what brought

159
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.039
it back to history. You've seen the original Jaws, I

160
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.799
have not well in it. One of this old sailor,

161
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.200
he's the one who's hunting the big shark. He actually

162
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.679
tells the story of Indianapolis. And that's what actually kind

163
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.519
of got it back into really front lobe history when

164
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.799
people started talking about it again.

165
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:52.519
Wow.

166
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.919
You know Albert Yeah, No, you know Albert Einstein. He

167
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.840
once said that when all possible solutions are ruled out,

168
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.159
the answer is the impossible. So I think the supplies her.

169
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.279
Nineteen seventy five X Teamster spots Jimmy Hoffa. He disappeared

170
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.600
with out of trace, no idea where he is. They

171
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.840
looked for him for fifty years, followed up everly have

172
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.559
not been able to find him. So that only can

173
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.559
mean one thing. Yeah, he was taken by space aliens.

174
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.320
It's only logical deduction left. Or he was taken by

175
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.600
the two mobsters that he had lunch with.

176
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.039
Wow. Nineteen seventy six American Bruce Jenner set the world

177
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.200
record for points and won the Olympic Decathon in the

178
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.799
Montreal Olympics. When he brought the gold medal home, he

179
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.039
was a national hero. He was on the Weedy Cereal

180
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.279
Boxes and was a guest on every show. Then he

181
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.039
became the reality TV start Now he goes by Caitlin Jenner.

182
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.159
You ever watched the Kardashians. I did. I've never seen

183
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:50.600
one of those.

184
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.759
Actually I watched it back in the day. I don't

185
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.519
watch him recently, but yeah.

186
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:56.919
Do you ever do any archery hunting?

187
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:57.679
No?

188
00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.440
I do not. I do not hunt.

189
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.519
Nineteen eighty eight, Harry Well, this was in hunting. I

190
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.039
was just kind of doing a little segway there. In

191
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.519
nineteen eighty eight, Harry Drake, he shot an arrow two

192
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.399
thousand and forty seven yards. That's forty one feet, say,

193
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.399
but he you know, it's just over a month now.

194
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.399
He did use a crossbow though. Now, if you want

195
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.240
to go the largest arrow ever shot just by if

196
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.960
you pull it back, yeah, that's about half as much.

197
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.480
In two thousand, what was your first car Ooh?

198
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.240
It was a money Carlo.

199
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.120
Oh, hand me down, huw Yes, that's what the ones

200
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.720
the kids who got the new ones. They usually got

201
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.240
those Volkswagen Beetles. Do you remember those? That's what Herbie

202
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.320
the love Bug was. Well, in two thousand and three,

203
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.039
the last Volkswagen Beetle came off the assembly line down

204
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.960
in Mexico. Now, Volkswagen Beetle sold twenty one million, five

205
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.480
hundred and twenty nine four and sixty four Beatles over

206
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.639
all those years. But that's not the most selling car,

207
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.399
no a second, it's behind the Toyota Corolla that's over

208
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.799
fifty million. So what got you in too?

209
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:53.879
Do?

210
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.759
In some public speaking?

211
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.279
I served on the Iowa Farm burea Young Farmer's State

212
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.600
committee back two thousand and five two thousand and eight,

213
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.559
was doing some lobbying in the agricultural industry, and I

214
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.000
just really loved talking to people showing people how we

215
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.200
we farm. And I feel the best way of showcasing

216
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.840
that is to actually show people and talk about it.

217
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.120
So I just haven't looked back or quit since then.

218
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.320
Well you kind of turned it into that you actually

219
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.960
have a business where you actually help other farmers in

220
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.000
agriculture business with social media and posting and stuff, don't you.

221
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.399
Absolutely yes, I feel that there's a place for all

222
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.879
of us, and I want to help others tell their story.

223
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.240
Alrighty, you ready to go to some birthdays?

224
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:42.080

227
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.559
Shure birth day and you you don't do birthday. Well,

228
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:57.080
let's just check out. Born on July the thirtieth, Henry Ford.

229
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.720
He is born in Springfield Township, Michigan in eighteen sixty now,

230
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.519
and he created the Model T. It revolutionized not only

231
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.919
transportation but society.

232
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:05.480
Yeah.

233
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.759
It allowed the majority of the people that actually own

234
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.120
a car, not just the rich people. It also kind

235
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.159
of revolutionized manufacturing. Now, Ford he did not create the

236
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.360
assembly line, but he kind of did perfect it. And

237
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.200
it was nineteen fourteen when Ford he shocked the world.

238
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.240
He said he was giving all his employees five dollars

239
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.200
a day, ye and only five day work weeks. See

240
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.919
back then that was about twice as much as everybody

241
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:28.960
else was young and making Ford he married and they

242
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.960
had one son. He died in nineteen forty seven and

243
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.720
eighty three years old. He died from a cerebral hemorrhage.

244
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.720
Now five thousand people an hour passed by his castas

245
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.799
to give their final respects to Ford as he laid

246
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.399
in state, and he got telegrams and flowers basically from

247
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.440
in condolences from every single world leader around the entire world,

248
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.000
even with the Pope. So yeah, they were condoling us

249
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.039
and the Pope. They said, this is for the American people.

250
00:12:50.080 --> 00:13:14.279
They lost the true icons. That was Ed Burns and

251
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.639
Connie Stevens. Connie, she just died a couple of days ago. Now, Cookie,

252
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.879
he was Ed Burns. He was born in New York

253
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.440
City in nineteen thirty two. Now he probably know him

254
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.480
best though for the movie Grease. Yeah, he played that

255
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.080
national bandstand host Vince Fontaine or then though he really

256
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.879
hit big back in the late fifties on the show

257
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.440
seventy seven sun Stet Strip, he played Kookie. He ended

258
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.879
up becoming a teen idol. Now, the backstory to that

259
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.639
song is that Kookie on the show. He had what

260
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.840
they called the ducktail back then, and he was constantly

261
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.200
pulling out his comb and combing his ducktail. That's funny

262
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.600
the song about it. Now, Ed he married once for

263
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.919
ten years and they had a son in twenty twenty.

264
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.320
He died from natural cause at eighty seven years old.

265
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.039
Shore Head on my show.

266
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.080
Squeeze Me also Time to Show.

267
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:16.759
Not You Lo. One of the greatest songwriters of all time.

268
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.679
Paul Anka is eighty four years old today. He was

269
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:23.360
born in Ottawa, Canada in nineteen forty one. He released

270
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:27.519
his first song when he was fourteen, released his first

271
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.480
album at seventeen. Some of his hits that he sings

272
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.120
Lonely Boy, Diana, the song You Just Heard, put Your

273
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.440
Head on My Shoulder, Puppy Love. He still performs a

274
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.159
little and he's written over nine hundred songs for other artists,

275
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.480
way too many to share it listing. He was married

276
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.919
to his wife thirty seven years. When they divorced, they

277
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.279
had five children. One of those daughters is married to

278
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.519
actor Jason Bateman. Paul married a second wife for four years,

279
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:55.840
they had one child, and married a third for four

280
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.639
years when that ended in twenty twenty. All has just

281
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.639
been a player since and then. Jimmy Cliff is eighty

282
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.679
one born in Saint James, Jamaica in nineteen forty four.

283
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.600
He's considered a reggae singer and is in the Rock

Many rivers to cross. You can get to it if

286
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.000
you really want the harder they come, wild, Wild World.

287
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.639

288
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.519
his hits. Jimmy is married. They have a daughter and

289
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.600
a son. Jimmy also has another daughter. You like reggae music,

00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.879
I like all kinds of mostly all kinds of music.

291
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.639
So yes, okay, I couldn't find the button. But here

292
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.399

I can see clean hooray. I can see lobstickles.

294
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.759
Gone off the club. You know, I didn't think about

295
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.480
it at the time when we were talking about Henry Ford.

296
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.440
I'm sure he made some kind of farm equipment, but

297
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.919
you do corn and soybeans. Can you drive a tractor

298
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.080
in a combine?

299
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.120
Yes?

300
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:11.519
I can.

301
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:15.840
I'll be back.

302
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:17.840
Do you know who that was?

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.159
Arnold Schwarzenegger, body builder, an actor, governor.

304
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.080
He was born in Thule, Austria, in nineteen forty seven seven.

314
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.799
kind of give him a good grade as governor back

315
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:58.120
