And if you watch the videos, she's a fucking badass bass player in that. I just think she should probably get a lot more credit than she does.

"You can go in and do any potential competition. Nobody wouldn't have gotten the nomination. And number two, he wouldn't have been Florida. This is where it gets. So then what am I hearing? You know, I can show you that very disloyal, but it's not about me, but to me it is, it's always better. But for a lot of people, he sucks all the oxygen out of the room, thus I'm not sure entirely how a Ron DeSantis or a Nikki Haley or some of the others that have been floated about how they entirely break through. Especially when they're not even bothering to go, to New Hampshire. I mean, that's kind of like a prerequisite. Joe Biden doesn't like it either. We're going to get to that in a second. But in other words, Ron DeSantis is staying in Florida. Yes, he's got a terrific record they're in Florida, but the question is, is it enough? Does he have the name recognition and can he actually get through the primary? I think that's a very difficult task. Moreover, let's just be logical about the entire situation. If you're Ron DeSantis, you're saying, wait a second, I got this whole group of people that support Donald Trump on my side. If I run now, well, I am going to risk having their wrath against me because Donald Trump is going to paint me as disloyal, et cetera. You just heard it. And so they won't like me. Therefore, am I ever going to have a shot in the future? And clearly, he could just say, you know what, I'm going to ride this one out. Donald Trump takes the nomination. He wins or doesn't win against Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Pete Buttigieg or whoever they wind up putting up and then I come back into the picture four years from now in 2028. It may be a logical decision, but it's also a risky decision only in that politicians kind of they stay hot for only a brief moment in time. Remember when Chris Christie had his day and then he completely blew it and by 2016 it was over, well desantis could run that risk as well. In other words, life is full of risks. He either runs now. And makes his way past Donald Trump, which I just don't entirely see happening. I know there's differing polls, et cetera, but it's going to be hard, or he waits for more years. And risks becoming kind of a husband. And what about Joe Biden? Who New Hampshire voters really don't seem to have a whole lot of use for, not according to recent polls. What does this mean for the 2024 landscape? Look, New Hampshire, its first in the nation, I say this as someone who is born and raised. In that live free or die state and believe me, it's part of the state constitution. They're not changing it, no matter how much The White House would like them to. So my recommendation for any politician looking to have any success in 2020 for you better hightail it up north. I'm talking to you Ron DeSantis. I'm talking to you Joe Biden and anybody else who thinks they have a shot. Meanwhile, the deck is totally stacked against Joe Biden and understandably so when you look at the economy right now, you look at this massive inflation. We just got the consumer personal expenditure index out last week showing a 5% increase in inflation. Everybody's like, woohoo. Wow, at least it's not like 7%. I'm sorry, it's still 5%. Typically, we were looking at 2%. And given that wages are not growing fast enough, you still are in an environment where everything is costing more and people don't have enough money to keep up with this. We are looking at a potential recession nearly 70% of all analysts on Wall Street that have been surveyed believe that we are heading into a recession in 2023. I'm one of them, by the way, I firmly believe there is a solid chance of recession, the question is, is it one that we can really recover from? We may, I simply worry that we're kicking the can down the road, yet again. And even if we emerge from a recession and tact or okay, we still are looking at something that is becoming quite inevitable. In other words, you can not keep printing money. You can not have $31 trillion worth of debt running record deficits and think that somehow everything's going to work out just fine. We're either going to completely fail as the world's reserve currency, which frankly, if I'm any other country, I'd be sitting there saying, well, you should, or we're going to endure tremendous economic hardship. It's one of the reasons why I do say it's so critical to take your portfolio seriously to look at all options to consider diversification in two things like precious metals, one of our wonderful sponsors here on the Trish Regan show just happens to be legacy p.m. investments dot com legacy precious metals. I am a believer in diversification. I do actually own gold in my own portfolio. You've heard me talk to Charles Thompson in the past. He's been on the program. He has made the point very articulately that we are bankrupt as a nation, and in any other business or in any other country they'd say, hey, you know, your bankrupt. Look what happened to Greece. Remember Greece and the 2008 European debt crisis will we get away with a lot because we are the world's reserve currency, but you have to ask yourself, really, for how long?.

Un to shovel passes to go the length of the field to take lead and then scored a defensive touchdown at the buzzer to win by ten but the next year Friend went to the aggies. And oh you beat them. Seventy seven to nothing which was not a great not a great experience. I can tell you this there in the history of alabama football there has never been more They've never been more out Oh you fell alabama fans cheering for. Ou you that day. Well i share you a story. I don't think i've said this on your show but my brother tells me He tells me the story of He got gas that morning. Norman fairly early and some guy drove in a pickup truck without obama tag and he just sort of struck up conversation and My brothers started talking to him. And he's the guy says he. I drove all night from alabama and You know my brother got a funny look on his face and said yeah but is used in texas a and m he said i drive across the country to see dennis francioni. Get his butt whipped. Now i i mean when he left there as you well know that i wouldn't that score came in. I came ever what stadium. I was but i mean the place erupted. I just realized a bulldoze through the first segment here. Hold on a second berry. I want to talk to you about a couple of things that are pretty important berry trouble with us from the oklahoma. And we're coming right back to listening to the paul. Finebaum show podcast. We welcome you back. We're talking with. Barry traveled from the oklahoma and barry. Thanks for holding. I want to get to nfl. And how it's going down out in oklahoma and in terms of reaction and what is going to mean. Yeah you know. I think A little trepidation by those people or just a little unclear about what the future holds. It's it's sort of a vast frontier with no no great direction. I don't know that anybody really believes it's going to have a profound effect on the competitive balance of college football. I mean i don't see where this is actually gonna hurt alabama's recruiting. I don't see where it's going to heart while states recruiting. So i think i think frankly the same teams keep winning. Have for a long time. But what it means in terms of Player contentedness is. It mean they'll stay in college longer. I tend to think not but Does this mean they might transfer more. Maybe i don't know if that's one more thing i guess you can be upset about Route to the portal These are some some trepidation that you know the story out of miami with the martial arts owner paying all the all the miami players whatever it is five hundred dollars a month to promote his his business is there you know some trepidation that as that to get out of hand the smaller places In college football of which there were quite a few might be might be at a disadvantage. I just think it's such an unknown. But i just don't see where it could work could upset The food chain that we've grown to know so well in the remaining moments. Let's let's talk about what's happening on the field and there. Is you know every day. I read another commitment out there and certainly spencer radler getting a lot of hype for the heisman that that is not a new thing for. Ou what are you. What are your thoughts can is this team capable of not breaking through. Because they've been to the they've been to the the final four but can this team is good enough to win at all. Well i think. I think most most reasonable observers would say they're going to have to see it because the sooners have been great consistent winners at get into the playoffs but they haven't done much when they got when they get there. You know georgia rose. Bowl is a fantastic game. Either team could have won But the other. Emma trips of the playoff they've been handled pretty easily. So you know. I wanna see if this defense offense clearly. It's good enough about anything but the defense was better last season. There's no doubt about that. Is that improvement going to continue if it does. Well then you know maybe the playoff could hold some. Wholesome bonanza for oklahoma. But until then think they need to be shown clearly that recruiting different kinds of players. You want to say better players. We'll see if it proves to be better but There they appear to be the class at the big twelve but in the past. That really is as far as it goes so until they prove it i. I'd be a little skeptical. That was that was a that was an easy question. Now now the the obvious question this is this is such a in underhanded softball texas is back right well. Texas is back point football this season yet. They probably are going to feel the football game. You know sarkissian taking over I think will be you know a sort of an infusion of ideas and energy and everything else. He comes at a little bit of a bad time. Because you know for for about three quarters of a decade everyone in this part of the country had theory. Texas problem is quarterback texas problems quarterback since cole mccoy. They haven't had a quarterback well then in twenty seventeen. They sound a quarterback sam l. Anger was really solid quarterback and he grew into a really good quarterback. Maybe not a heisman type guy but a winning quarterback and guess what. It didn't really change much. So now allen grew is gone and they don't have a top-flight quarterback apparently i mean They got a couple of young guys fighting for the job. One of them is from oklahoma city. He's the son of former your quarterback charles thompson. So we know we know him well but he's he sees a elite quarterback texas needs. So i don't know that sark will have a the kind of quarterbacking to which is a custom and to which he needs here in year one or year two and that could impede any kind of quick blast off. For the longhorns berry. It's always great to have you here appreciate your time and we will look forward to seeing you soon. You bet all thanks.

"Support independence. He also thought that the southern colonies north and south carolina. Georgia were also pretty likely on board. Our the middle colonies new york new jersey pennsylvania delaware and maryland. All at the time still had instructions to oppose independence in other words. The state governments of the colonial governments that were in charge had instructed delegates to oppose independence at all costs so after lee made this resolution in early june congress immediately tabled the proposal for three weeks so the delegates go home and confer with their local leaders and decide whether they could have their instructions. Changed in the meantime drafting committee began. Work on a declaration just in case the vote for independence past. I wanna take a quick look at the state of the middle colonies. The ones who were most resistant at this time to taking a great step toward independence he had pennsylvania which before the dispute was proprietary colony. Was run by the penn family. There was no provincial congress. At this time there was only a radical committee committee of one hundred that had no legal basis for existing that represented the most radical elements for warren dependence. There west la claudio assembly that was dominated by quakers pacifists who supported the king. There were some radicals. Like charles thompson. Who were pushing for independence. Many of these radicals attempted to vote in a pro independence late into the legislature in may but they lost. There was a high level of quaker turnout for this election and many the patriots had already left to serve in the continental army. There's no such thing as absentee ballots. Mela ballots at the time. So the vote overwhelming loyalist. By the way topsy kept really amazing. Detailed notes about all the political machinations that went on not only the first and second continental congress the entire time through the constitutional convention. Really amazing thorough. I witnessed view of the political deals and akron dealing that was going on during this time and near the end of the life of his life he took all of his notes and toss them into a fireplace. He decided it would be better for history to remember congress as idealistic heroes rather than the wheeler dealers with That his insider information were destroyed. That you so thompson. The great patriot did what he thought best for his country but not so much friend for stories. The quakers pennsylvania's i said were very strongly. Supportive of the king. Many people think that they were pacifists. Who were host were generally which they were quakers. The society of friends also sees the support of the existing government as a religious duty on january twentieth. Seventeenth seventy six. Society's elders issued a public declaration were set in part in setting up and putting down kings and governments is god's peculiar prerogative. Her causes best known to himself. And it is not our business to have any hand or contrivance therein but to pray for the king and the safety of our nation and good of all men that we may live a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty under government. Which god is to set over us so yeah. Quakers are very set in the theory of the divine right of kings kings kings. Because god wanted them to be. It's not for us morals to question it. So as i said quakers won the election the loyalist were in charge but the radicals would not deter responding to that resolution. I talked about before or john. Adams tried to add that hostile. Preamble that said governments needed to create new governments. A group of four thousand radicals met in front of independence hall of course was not called independence hall of the time it was pennsylvania state house both the continental congress and the legislature for the legislature of the state of pennsylvania met in the building the radical bob listened to speeches by some radical delegates including thomas. Mckean not only wanted independence but a completely new government for pennsylvania and they called for a new constitutional convention to replace the pennsylvania assembly the committee of one hundred than called for an election of delegates to the convention legal basis. Do they have for this really. They were simply counting on the people to support it. And for the government to have no power to obstruct it. Although the momentum seemed to be in favor of the radicals the leader setup the convention to essentially ensure the result they wanted i they gave equal representation to each county. This gave far more power to the less populated western counties where radical sentiment was far more popular second. They required that all delegates for swear allegiance to the king and support whatever government. The people shows so quakers and tories who were unwilling to consider the possibility of ditching king. Were not even allowed to participate in the convention third. They opened up voting to any male over the age of twenty one who had been assessed for taxes. There was no minimum property requirement and this increase the adult male voter pool from between fifty percent to ninety percent across the state much larger voter pool and typically voted colonial elections seeing the radicals make a move toward any assembly. Many representatives began to move toward the radical camp. Pennsylvania formerly withdrew. Its instructions to the continental congress to oppose independence. But it also didn't issue new instructions in other words. The delegates were able to decide for themselves and a majority of the delegation opposed independence. Four to three. In the end to the opponents john dickinson and robert morris left before the vote thereby allowing the delegation to support independence by a vote of three two to both of these men realized that the change is going to happen soon any way either they were not ready to cast a vote. They saw value in allowing pennsylvania to join the other colonies in backing independence so pennsylvania's onboard for independence. Now by the end of may early. June seventeen seventy six was also a period of transition the colony had a strong loyalist population. And could really go either way. Royal governor will franklin at ended the legislative session in january and the provincial. Congress just simply took over the functions of government while the governor intended to call the assembly back into session in june seventeen. Seventy six. The provincial congress reacted by replacing the governor in june and supporting independents again. Do they have any illegal authority to do this now. They counted on that the fact that the majority of new jersey would support them and that was the basis for their actions. They sent the governor to be imprisoned in connecticut and called for the creation of a new constitution. So new jersey on board for independence. Next week we want to delaware the delaware was not really an independent colony before all the started they were part of pennsylvania but they had their legislature which governs What was called the three counties on the delaware they were overall governed by the penn family that ran pennsylvania but since the governor had been overthrown delaware had its own legislature in pennsylvania had his legislature. So delaware was kind of pushing literally for independence from britain but independence of itself from pennsylvania on june fifteenth. The delaware assembly voted for himself to be independent from both britain and pennsylvania but did not instructed its delegates on how vote there was a july first vote Just to see where all the delegates stood. The delaware delegation was split. There were only two of the three members of the delegation there at the time. Thomas mckee voted for independence. George read voted against it so mccain had to send for the third noah get caesar rodney who was also serving a militia officer in lower delaware at the time trying to put down a royalist role. Caesar rodney made famous midnight ride through a thunderstorm so that he could get there on july second for the vote in favor of independence. His arrival was celebrated as delegates broke into song and dance at his rival. At least that's how it's portrayed in the musical seventeen. Seventy six actually may have been a little less musical and dramatic both rodney and mckean. As from southern delaware. Which is i said without a heavy loyalist population. It and result of their voting for independence. Both men lost their seats in the next election. But delaware had voted for independence maryland. As i said had walked out of congress on may fifteenth when adams had tried to introduce that controversial sample that smack of supporting independence maryland convention received congress's resolution that voted unanimously not to create a new government and reaffirmed. Its loyalty to the king. The planner class in maryland was struggling loyalists. The patriots mostly came from the merchants in the port. Cities saying chase became one of the biggest advocates to get the convention to change. Its use on. June twenty-first and provincial convention recalled the delegates to discuss the matter but wanted an assurance that congress would not vote on independence while they were away. Since congress plant begin debate on july first. This wasn't a problem any end. The convention approved independence after learning that pennsylvania new jersey and delaware would support it. The need for unanimity was a strong one among some of the more reluctant voters. So that leaves us with new york. Unlike most other colonists loyalists had continued to participate. In a provincial congress that had been set up to oppose colonial government. This gave the loyalists a lot more influence in selecting delegates to the continental congress who oppose independence as well as keeping the provincial congress. From going too far you're was also facing an imminent invasion at the time. A leader even open to the idea of independence might have second thoughts. If he believed that british army would soon reassert control over the colony and begin looking for leading traders to arrest in hang conservatives in new york tried to slow down the momentum toward independence after receiving word that the continental congress would debate the batter provincial. Congress voted that it would not support independence until it took a vote of the people in its colony and it couldn't take that vote because well the british invasion that's not to happen for congress ended its session onto thirty without changing. Its instructions to the delegates to vote against independence. So new york was the only colony to abstain from july. Second vote for independence. When the new year congress learned that all other twelve colonies had voted in favor. It reconvened on july ninth to approve of the vote for independence. So the final version of the declaration has written was able to add the word unanimous vote for independence that resolution that had been brought by lee was voted on and supported by twelve of the thirteen colonies in favor of the resolution brand dependence lee york of stained. So what exactly happened on july fourth. Why are we celebrating in pence day on the fourth of july rather than the second of july well as i said during this whole debate over dependence had been happening for the last couple of months congress had created a committee to draft a declaration in case congress voted in favor of independence on the committee where john adams benjamin franklin roger sherman robert livingston and thomas jefferson as junior member of the committee. Jefferson got stuck writing the first track. Nobody really thought writing declaration was that important. The vote for independence was important. Thing the fact that everybody voted in favor of the actual wording of the declaration was kevin trivial afterthought which is why it really got pushed off on somebody who was not particularly. See your member of congress. Shepardson had a reputation as being good writer. And so he would do. The first draft members of the committee will make some changes that would be submitted to congress would make additional changes but jefferson in amazingly good job. There were a few things taken out. were famously. There was a provision blaming king for bringing slavery to america. Many people think that was taken out. Because of a pro slave sentiment in congress and that's partially true what there was particularly among many the southern colonies. They were not ready to make this word about slavery. This is not to say that the war was being fought to protect slavery. But it wasn't being fought to end slavery either slavery was an existing condition and in the interests of unanimity. The issue of slavery was essentially kick down the road. The other reason one can make a good argument for removing. That was blaming. The king for slavery was a bit of a cop out. The colonists had brought slavery into north america and the king had tolerated. The king had allowed them to have slavery so blaming. The king for essentially forcing slavery on the colonists was a bit of. You know intellectually dishonest accusation. So there was kind of a good reason to bring up. Remove it for that reason alone. The committee finished with this draft in late. June and it presented to congress after the july second vote for independence at that point. Congress did take a couple of days to debate the final wording which finally agreed to on july fourth after it agreed to the wording of the declaration on the evening of july fourth draft was given to a local printer by the name john dahl to produce the first written copy of the document on july fifth with the date july fourth on the document other newspapers began printing it over the next few days and quickly the declaration spread all up and down the continent other wasn't official version. That was going to be sent to london. That was never planned. This was a declaration to the world. And if anything was particularly angered france they were hoping by declaring their independence that francine this as actual war that they joy not an internal dispute within the british empire. There were some british officers. You obtain copies of the declaration in the base following its general distribution. of course. we're all familiar with the signed engrossed. Copy of what. We call the original declaration of independence. This was actually drafted several weeks. After the fact it was laid before congress on august second for signatures by the time this final gross version was signed. As i said new york had gotten on board so the one word that was changing the declaration was the word unanimous. Most number cited on august second but some did not get around to signing again until as later. There's even some questions about one signer. That may not have sign for several years. But the day of july fourth appeared on the declaration itself as a result we celebrate independence day on july fourth. And here we are two hundred and forty five years later still celebrating that important Which led to the independence of the united states. Well that ends my prepared remarks. I've run about fifty minutes now trying to see if there are any questions and may have you can ask me about independence. You can ask me more generally about the american revolution. You can ask me about podcasting you can. This is really an ask me anything moment. So if you have any questions at all. I'm more than happy to take them on at this time. Checking my twitter feed right now. See if anybody is asked the question there as i said i know it's difficult. I sent that link. People can listen to this podcast by to actually interact with me half to have a podcast app on your phone. Don't like downloading new apps for that. So i did offer the option of asking questions on my twitter. Feed at podcast gonna see anyone has lots of fourth of july celebration tweets. Today for me. A very well could be that. So you're trying to ask questions or call in. And i'm not familiar enough with the way. My harding platform works to pick up on. That one wants to get in touch with a good time. Just say now. I started this podcast. We went live in july of twenty seventeen. So we're coming up on our fourth anniversary in a couple of weeks as you know. I'm generally working through the podcast in chronological order. Today's episode is a bit of a step back. Were up to seventeen seventy nine of a moment. But i wanted to this special episode really talk about independence day. What's particular about july fourth. So that's why we're doing this special episode. I do from time to time do special episodes with authors or other experts on the american revolution easily discussions. And of course those are not in many chronological order associated with my podcast as well but if a good author comes up i will try to bring them into have a discussion whenever i can. On whatever topic their next brian. So as i said we're up to seventeen seventy nine. Several years into the war were really just getting into the beginning of the southern campaign at the moment. Fak next week to talk about fort morris in georgia where the british follow on their capture of savannah will be moving as a lot. Were into the southern campaign over the next year or two as we get into some seventy nine seventy eighty tweak from powder day saying he's calling in. Fortunately i don't see where that's happening. I apologize. I said this is my first live episode ever. It's my first time using this platform. So if i am unable to interact with you. That's probably a sign of my inability to figure out how this whole thing works jason. He may know runs a youtube channel. Jason manners general co founder of the day he releases a new email almost every single day talking about some of the more obscure players in the american revolution and the founding of the united states. So i find it very interesting. Also youtube channel where. He discusses a lot of these. Same people Also runs trivia nights for american revolution. Really interesting stuff. So if you haven't had a chance to check them out or to youtube check out the search for founder day or go to founded the day dot com somebody else who also had agreed to participate. I was lee. Iran's history camp. You aren't familiar with history camp. It's typically a live event and all they have been that happens in various cities around the country s started in boston in virginia colorado. A few of the places as well.

"The birth of America. Some families are big birthday families and some really not so much. Find that when you leave the United States, the idea that this is the day you came into the world is Really not as big a deal as it is here. But I also think that's because the individual doesn't matter as much as he does here. Yes, we're more narcissistic. Yes, we're spoiled. Of course we are. But we also believe in the uniqueness of the individual. It's there in our very founding. No individual is greater than another. That's why our founders refused to accept titles. That's why our first president refused to be a king. That's why he left after two terms, setting such a golden standard for public service in this country. Seems like a bygone era, and it is And because of that, I always steep myself in American history. Particularly our founding on July 4th. So this week, I have gone back into the archives and been reading about some of the founder Sam Adams and John Adams. Special role they played Dr Joseph Warren. You heard the interview We did about him with Ned Ryan a few days ago. And there were the greats Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson. But today I choose to profile John Hancock. Now, when I say the name John Hancock, you might think of a massive insurance company. Or you may think of the Tallest building in Boston, the John Hancock Tower. Or You may think of the John Hancock Center in Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful building, and you may have gone all the way up to the top. You may think of the sixth U. S Navy ships that bear his name or a street or a county. Or a city. You may think of John Hancock as the guy who put down the big signature and you may sometimes say, Put your John Hancock right here. There's a lot about John Hancock. You might not know. Later in the program. I'm going to read to you the Declaration of Independence. Maybe you've never read it in its entirety and kind of have a general idea. Pursuit of happiness at all. But I want to profile John Hancock for this reason. At the end of the document. That declared our independence from The motherland. That was basically a declaration of war. You no longer own these colonies. We are no longer subjects of you, The king. That was a statement that Yeah, We've been battling it out. We've been firing back and forth, but we're going full on war and at the end of the document, and you probably aware of this The last line says, and for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, We mutually pledge to each other our lives our fortunes. And our sacred honor. And those men did exactly that. You've probably seen the viral email that goes around. Couple times a year from old folks because old folks appreciate our history more than young folks do. These men did sacrifice their lives their fortunes. And, in some cases, their sacred honor. John Hancock was the only man who signed the Constitution on July 4th. There were others who would add their names. But much later. He was the only man who signed the count the the not the country the declaration of independence because he was the president at the time. Of the of the organization, if you will that was governing the colonies. That document was sent to the printer, John Dunlap. But we don't know. What else was on that document Because it burned. It was lost either in the printing process or to fire. There are theories that go both ways. But we do know that John Hancock famously signed that document on that day. It would take some time later, until other signatures would be added. Now you may have seen an original Because there are copies that are another in museums. And you may say, Well, all right, I recall there being another name on there. There was another name. It was that of Charles Thompson. He was the secretary of the Continental Congress. But not a delegate. That's why his signature was attested to He was, for all intents and purposes. The witness the notary, if you will. It was John Hancocks signature. That made his name famous for signatures themselves. I'll just need your John Hancock on this contract, you might hear, it said. You've often heard. Hopefully you've heard in the past that John Hancock said. King George will be able to read that. That's why he signed it so big His actual statement was the British ministry can read that name without spectacles. Let them double their reward. There was a reward for his head. In fact, the night that Paul Revere made his famous ride. He came to town and told Hancock and Adams you are wanted. You are wanted by the British and they're coming to take you away. We'll never see you again. And in fact, they fled in just enough time did he and the famous attorney John Adams, to save their lives and go on. From Lexington to Philadelphia. Avoiding capture. To be among our greatest of our founders. You see, it was over a decade between the Declaration of Independence and our founding bylaws are governing document Our Constitution. Which is as relevant to our lives today, as it was then written with such foresight. But back. John Hancock. John Hancock was what was known as a Boston Brahmin. He was a wealthy man. So when he pledged his fortune That was a big statement. You think you're making a sacrifice speaking out on Facebook? This was a very wealthy man who could have continued being very wealthy, but he could not stand to live under tyranny. He wasn't opposed to monarchy. In fact, he considered one of his greatest life's moments. Back 15 years earlier in 17 61. He was in London on a business trip, and he witnessed the coronation of King George. The third The same king to whom the declaration of Independence which was as you know, a declaration of war would be directed just over a decade later. He thought That was a great moment and it was a great nation and he was honored to be a part of it. So to not only separate himself from it. But to declare war against it tells you how deeply felt Were his emotions. Hancock would later be urged to run for president. Against George Washington, and his name was put into nomination in those days it was considered Poor form. Poor taste to campaign for the office. You should be asked To run for the office by those who respect you. It shouldn't just be a sign of your ambition. But he didn't do that. He didn't run for office. The way of Biden would or an Obama or Clinton so desperate to be president. He allowed his name to be put into nomination and he quietly allowed himself. To be surpassed by George Washington. It was said that Washington and he had a riff. Hardly He named his son after George Washington. John George Washington Handcock. This is a man who pledged everything he had and gave everything he had. He went on to be governor of Massachusetts twice his signature is a sign of defiance,.

"Polls it from george mason's declaration of rights Which had just been adopted on the twelfth of june seventeen seventy six And he's drawing on a number of sources that way to assert the right of revolution and produces the document. There's the blue line and the that takes place. And finally congress takes up a consideration of this of the original resolution of richard henry lee and of the declaration congress did of course they they work over the draft that The that jefferson is provided them for for two days and they cut and a eliminate probably some of the more extreme language they toned down some of the accusation language they eliminate a long passage on the slave trade in which jefferson was trying to hang the responsibility for the slave trade around the neck of a king But at the same time they also include some items. The jefferson had not expanded in detail especially about the responsibility of the king for domestic Insurrection and finally what happens. Is richard henry. Lease motion comes up for consideration and for a vote on july second and is adopted In this case of virtually unanimously the only delegation which didn't agree to it was the new york delegation and that was because they are conclusion was still in process. They would eventually endorse that. They then turn to jefferson's declaration and they spend two days working on jefferson's declaration and they adopt that late on the morning of july fourth. Which is why we have this curious situation in which we actually we actually adopt the resolution for independence on july second so strictly speaking july second is our independence day and john adams fixed on that and predicted that that was the day everybody would celebrate and shoot off firecrackers. So i love that quote. I i use it a couple times every july fourth but i have to boulder is it not include the data. The beginning deals right. That's going to be a great day. And john adams in one of those oh one of those marvelously perverse moments when adams firmly puts his foot down and makes a declaration and just happens to be a little bit off on it. No it's it's it's two days later. It's two days. After that. That the continental congress you know late in the morning of july fourth adopts the declaration which also contains richard henry lee's resolution and that becomes the day that we remember and that is the day when that becomes the official statement of what american independence is all about. Oddly enough when we think of the declaration we often think of it as well. Jefferson's text plus the signatures. John hancock charles thompson. And then all the delegations actually most of their signatures weren't added right of that moment of the the declaration of independence gets signed so to speak odd siri autumn. All the way through that summer. And so you so you actually. You actually have people who are elected to take seats in the continental congress who come to philadelphia who actually didn't vote for the the independence motion or for the declaration. Nevertheless there invited to come up and sign the declaration. Matthew thornton for instance didn't have any role in either the Vote on the resolution on july second or the declaration on july fourth but when he shows up in congress for the first time in august he's invited to sign the declaration of independence so his name ears on It's actually an odd document when you consider it. This is a legal declaration. This is the kind of thing that a lawyer would draw up at the beginning of any kind of lawsuit It's sign there's really no particular reason for it to have been signed by anybody except hancock as the president of the congress and thomson as its secretary and yet it is signed in. And it's a signal that the delegations so the congress are there really committing in a very visible way. they're committing their constituents their states to the support of independence so there's no turning back to a couple other things decoration just really quickly. Don't get into to george. Washington the fighting so allen is the image we. We see of jefferson when he is depicted working on the decoration with a quilt on. His hand. at a little desk is that is that accurate. And how difficult was it to write with the aquatic that well i've written with oil before and being an aficionado of fountain pens as it is Aquilla actually a wonderful instrument for writing because it's easily sharpened. It's very flexible. If you've ever used a fountain pen which has a gold nib that has a lot of flak at you know how comfortable that is to write with. Actually writing with a quilt penn is Especially if it's goose quill It's a very easy and very painless way of writing. You can sharpen it easily with a little penknife which is my almost. Everyone carried a pen knife with them in those times. and It's it's a very fine writing instrument. And i almost want to say even in this era of keyboards and computer screens I recommend people try the experiment. I think they'd be pleased. Maybe next editorial media keep notes at the goose. Quill there you go. Put in a supply of goose quill put an order. I'm not sure you'd order them from put an so rick. What's more important the decoration or the constitution or is that a completely meaningless question. it's completely meaningless. Yeah there. There's a famous note that that lincoln wrote to himself after he was elected but before he was inaugurated in that for months period and and he's he says he uses bible verse that a word that we spoken is like apples. Cobham pictures of silver right. He says that the declaration as the apple of gold and the constitution is the picture of silver. Now what what was what. The hebrew was talking about was jewelry. So picture is like a frame around. Say an earring or something and and the stone being being held as the apple of gold. That's that's the image and people have On then thinking of the late. Harry jaffa who was not unlike john adams in certain respects In our great man but as bill said In now if you think it's top disagreeing with jerry jaffa try agreed and and he he keeps this Note of lincoln's this private note of lincoln's really ran weather. And and i would say maybe devalued the constitution thereby a bitch on perhaps more than lincoln himself would have done name. Lincoln lincoln clung to both of those documents. This is his claim. Was that was the the correct exponent of them. That stephen douglas and the southern rebels they they got them wrong. You know and and all sorts. Various ways You know his cooper union speech is brilliant. Ninety minutes speech. That kicks off this first. Presidential campaign is all about the constitution. Not about the declarations about the signers of the constitution. The framers and what they thought of the federal government's power over slavery in the territory..

"The conversation. Somewhere and screenshot at this comes from a marcus interest in this over. And you'll think like this is your general conspiracy theory but it really goes off the rails and the hesitant george floyd and there's always been this conspiracy theory that george floyd the whole thing was a was a false flag or the was a real didn't actually happen. He didn't actually die. He's an actor. He's he's whatever and so anyway kelly when it comes to george floyd here she says all acting floyd was a freemason and an actor okay and someone says i'm not opposed to this idea. There seems to be more evidence for some version of this theory than any other. I've seen there's more evidence for this than any other theories that they've seen. I didn't go to school for this case or anything. Just my solid opinion. Kelly says lots of truth there is a broken it all down but that was long ago and finding out of my photos would be challenging before it isn't dead. I believe this super strongly and this is. This is a crazy theory. Okay but i don. I can't find the photos. But just believing floyd isn't it. Okay and so we. That's the truth or two by the way guys. Were not really in the crazy part of this year. Now we're going to get to. Here's here's why. Here's here's the here's all of the little tidbits that you should know for why this was obviously a conspiracy theory. Chauvin need on his neck for exactly eight minutes and forty six seconds which was the same exact time. The twin towers went down. All right first off. That's not it's nine minutes and twenty nine seconds. That's so yeah so already we're creating this thing like. Oh what's the exact time. The towers went down eight minutes. Forty six seconds. Well that's the exact time that chauvin need on his neck. Okay that's that's not. Floyd died in the twin cities and supposedly had a twin hollywood actor the twin tower. We still got. This is all connected. The nine eleven. Twenty two and twenty freemasons all. This is going on. Floyd was an actor himself. Port a porn actor. I was that true. I have no idea. I have no idea. And no idea floyd that we're going to keep going here okay. Floyd had the freemason double-eagle tablet on his chest. There was sixty. Six spray painted on the trash can and the video of his death and freemason colored snow yet all the other trash containers that were exactly the same on the street. The neighboring streets didn't have that on at all. It was just this trash can george. Floyd was killed the picks. They put up of him in the news. We're him standing in the mexican place. Next to a corona beer background reference. To covid in freemason and the other pick of him was with a brick wall. Free freemason like okay. More more mental gymnastics. Now you can. I really do believe i. i think. A lot of conspiracy theories have merit behind them. But one thing we all need to realize is that if you can't produce the evidence yourself and you really have no idea because anyone can make up anything that they want to So have you saw a picture that was something might be really saw picture of and there was a trash. Can that had sixty six. If you didn't walk around the trash can on. You weren't there at that time. You have no idea what the trash can have had on it. The timing that they said he knelt on his neck wasn't actually right and now they're adding that all into the twin tower. So what i'm saying is we should all i think entertain in question and talk about what people call conspiracy theories but then we all also have to realize that if we can't produce the evidence than someone else could just be manipulating you for for some reason that we don't really know of that's a question that to the other thing is to the amount of coordination an effort. That's a fake. George floyd's death. They can't even send out unemployment right the the without fraud. Yeah they can't waste more money they can't even save whatever they can't they can't do it. this is another thing with nine eleven. I mean look those types of things. I'm like okay. Is it possible that a plane didn't hit the pentagon. Maybe i don't know because looking at the pictures it doesn't look like a plane flew into it. Wears the plane in the pentagon other types of things you can. You can have those kind of questions. And i'll tell you i don't actually know the answer to that now i don't It doesn't look like it could have been a plane but it could have been because you'll learn in life. There are things that seem impossible. That aren't actually impossible actually happen. Yeah so i am with this though the coordinated effort it would take to pull off nine eleven to pull off all these flaws flag events to kill the fake george of floyd's death to put a cop on murder trial all this stuff. I just. i don't see them able to pull it off. Yeah they also said that they looked on. I guess there's a thing where you can look people in prison vines. Something i don't know they said there's something you look at people in prison and the other cops that were involved. They don't show up on that app. They're not really imprison. That was just a fake. Made up news story. Also they don't really exist so anyhow anyhow that's just what i say. I think that we can talk about the conspiracy theories but always questioning everything. Means you also have to question the conspiracy theory absolutely and not. Just get fixated on one thing. The the bottom tweets is the important one on the on the. Next dumb bleep. I don't know if you guys remember libertarian. Party was trending libertarianism or. Libertarians was trending on twitter for a bit it. All had to do with the libertarian. Party of kentucky. Tweeting what everyone. What a lot of people decided was just egregious are vaccine passports. Going to be yellow shaped like a star sewn onto our clothes. Sounds like something charles thompson said earlier in the week on the on the podcast and while i think that the holocaust references are I think that it's i think that it's overboard. I said this one of our videos. I think that that's i think that it's way overboard. Were not in holocaust yet. But i do also think that we need to talk about what principles could lead to that happening and what ideas could have led to that happening anyway. People like that. Libertarians was trending. And i pulled this jim from twitter right here because this person knows everything about libertarians. Charlie you want me read this one. You got well. I was responding to todd here. Real quick he said nine eleven. Because what i've just mentioned on the podcast the pentagon He said he nope he knows people who died and survived that crash. It was a plane straight from those that were there so see look you can. You can question. you'll be wrong. Admitted the conspiracy. I said that looking at the pictures. It doesn't look like a plane headed. But then straight from somebody that i that i trust todd here was like he has direct relationship with people who either died or survived that plane crash and it was a plane crash so even if it doesn't look like it is it. It still is and the answer that you would what you always knew. The whole time was that you didn't know i didn't know. Yeah it's worth questioning. But i didn't know wasn't there so so yeah that's what i I wanna say that real quick. Thanks todd So as you mentioned libertarian party kentucky said vaccine passports gonna be yellow shaped like a star sewn on our close so david weisman responds and says as a jew. I.

Hey brain stuff lauren bogle Bam here over the years you've probably noticed the emblem emblazoned on the side of Air Force One. It's also attached to the podium from which the US President gives speeches and appears on official White House stationary and invitations a railroad locomotive painted to honor president didn't George H W Bush is decorated with it. It's the seal of the president of the United States of America the presidential seal look similar with slight differences to the great seal of the United States the official symbol. That's impressed upon official documents such as treaties and commissions the precise design of the presidential seal was detailed an executive order ninety-six forty-six issued in October of Nineteen forty-five by President Harry S Truman. It's specified that the seal depict an American Eagle that's holding ending an olive branch in its right Talon and a bundle of thirteen arrows to symbolize the original thirteen states and it's left while clutching in it's big a white scroll inscribed with the motto Eh Pluribus Unum Latin for out of many one behind and above the Eagle. There's a background of radiating glory depiction of rays rays of light crossed by an arc of thirteen cloud puffs below which there's a constellation of mullet sergeant which are five pointed compass stars that image is surrounded by a ring of white stars symbolizing the current fifty United States and around that another circle with lettering seal of the president of the United States though the presidential seals precise origins are unclear it was clearly inspired by the great seal that national symbol was adopted by the continental congress in in seventeen eighty two after secretary of the Continental Congress Charles Thompson merged ideas from several committees into a sketch that subsequently was modified by Herald Thomas the spartan that's according to the State Department's Nineteen seventy-six official history of the great seal written by Richard S Patterson and Richardson Dougal but at some point. US presidents decided that like the British monarch. They needed their own personal coat of arms as well. We spoke by email with Matthew Castello senior historian for the White House Historical Association. He said that the great seal quote was the official symbol of the United States federal government not the office of the Presidency Eh as such some president simply used the great seal while others thought that the president should have their own distinct seal. Castilla explains at least several throw presidents in the eighteen hundreds created their own seals incorporating. Whatever flourishes appeal to them James K polk for example used his own seal on the proclamation of war against against Mexico in eighteen forty six Millard fillmore came up with his own slightly different version which he sent to Maryland Postmaster engraver Edward Stabler to make in eighteen fifty Lincoln used a personalized seal as well. A presidential seal didn't actually appear on an invitation to an event until eighteen seventy seven Kevin according to Authors Patterson and Dougal President Rutherford B Hayes who was hosting a dinner honoring Russian Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovich made the invites look fancier zero by placing them with a seal that featured an arc of clouds raise and stars between the Eagles wingtips but the Haze Eagle was thinner in scrawny than today's robust looking eagle and its head turned toward the bundle of arrows rather than toward the olive branch in Nineteen to President Theodore Roosevelt ordered yet another other presidential seal to be installed on the floor of the White House entrance hall. He commissioned a french-american Sculptor Philip Martigny to create a new one Martigny drew on the Hayes design fine but added a few changes including engraving the phrase the seal of the President of the United States in that circular border Truman who didn't like Martin. He's work had removed emplaced elsewhere in the White House during World War Two President Franklin Roosevelt who was fascinated with insignia asked experts to redesign the presidential seal they came up with the idea of adding ring of stars to represent. All the states and having Eagle Face the olive branches rather than the Arrows to emphasize the desire for peace rather rather than war that design was the one that Truman approved in nineteen forty five and it's been used ever since in nineteen fifty nine and nineteen sixty President Dwight Eisenhower and how updated it by adding stars for Alaska and Hawaii.
