Day today. In seventeen seventy seven, when the Continental Congress chose the stars

12
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.159
and Stripes as the American flag,
Congressman Francis Hopkinson, he's from Pennsylvania.

13
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.480
He designed it. No, No, not Betsy Ross. Betsy was a

14
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.319
seams to us, and she may
have helped sow the first American flag.

15
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.000
Yeah, but she didn't create it. Her story is kind of like Paul

16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.000
Revere's ride you know where. He
chose a good story over the facts in

17
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.040
order to tell our history. We

world on June the fourteenth. Back on

35
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.840
April twenty eighth, we talked about
back in seventeen eighty nine, when the

36
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.560
mutiny on the Bounty happened. That's
when Fletcher Christian and his mountaineers took control

37
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.719
of the ship to Bounty and they
sent Captain Bly and eighteen men that were

38
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.240
loyal to him and drift in a
life vote. Yeah, well today,

39
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.599
forty five days after that, Yeah, they had been drifting those forty five

40
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.080
days, and Bly and all his
men made it safely to the island a

41
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.479
teamor they traveled thirty six hundred miles
in Springfield, Vermont in nineteen thirty four,

42
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.080
fish or Springfield. The invented sand
people eighteen forty seven. Now what

43
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.319
do you think that Robert Bunsen invented? Yep, you're right, the Bunsen

44
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.120
Burner nineteen oh seven. Norway.
They gave women the right to vote,

45
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.240
but only middle class women and only
in parliamentary elections. That meant that they

46
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.199
could only vote for a party and
not a person. Nineteen forty the Nazi

47
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.479
Oschwitz Concentration and extermination camp opened up
in Poland. Now started out just Polish

48
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.360
POW's, but then they expanded to
the Jews, the Catholics, the Gypsies.

49
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.680
Yeah, a whole bunch of people. Over one more point one million

50
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.039
people died at Ashwitz. Now,
when Francis Bellamy wrote the Pledge of Allegiance

51
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.599
back in eighteen ninety two, even
though he was a very devout Christian,

52
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.159
he never put the word God in
it. Nineteen fifty four, the United

53
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.519
States congud added under God to the
Pledge of Allegiance. Carl Rowan, Now

54
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.279
he was this hardcore left wing liberal
newspaper colonists. He had a huge,

55
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.639

that anybody other than police officers who was

56
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.360
found carrying a handgun should go to
jail immediately, no exceptions. Today,

57
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.480
in nineteen eighty eight, with an
illegal handgun, he shot a teenage boy.

58
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.439
He had got the teenager and two

59
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:46.079

copies. Yep, it was just
