20
00:01:47.879 --> 00:02:07.400
Let's let's talk you down to stop. The number one

21
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.000
book was The Aquitine Progression by Robert Ludlam Todd. Movie

22
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.120
was Police Academy. Yeah, the original one. See as mayor

23
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.479
he declares that anybody wants to can join the police force,

24
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.840
that they have to go to the Police Academy. So

25
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.479
a whole bunch of midst fits and losers they all joined.

26
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.120

27
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.639

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella they issued the Alberamba Decree.

29
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.159
Now it ordered that all Jews living in Spain had

30

31
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.840

32
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.719
leave or convert, they would be tortured in or executed.

33
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.960
Around twenty thousand converted another eighty thousand. They left that degree.

34
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.319
It was still around until nineteen sixty eight. Yeah, that's

35
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.560
