I'm mad, I'm upset.
Why my feelings are hard, whymy feelings?
Speaker 7 (04:48):
are hard why?
Thanks for coming on my show.
I sold out years ago and I'm acoward.
So you recently starred in themovie Snow White.
Tell me what was it like toplay Snow Latina?
First of all, steven, it wasweird, but I did enjoy
reimagining the character as awoke Colombian woman who looks
like a fish.
Well, I sold out years ago andI'm a coward.
Are you surprised that everyonehates the movie?
Not at all.
Society is far too racist andmisogynist to appreciate the
(05:11):
reimagining of a classic Disneyprincess as an ugly Colombian
chick.
I sold out years ago and I'm acoward.
You don't think making themovie a woke piece of garbage
has anything to do with peoplehating it?
Not really.
The original story has SnowWhite falling in love with a
prince, but in the remake that'ssuper weird and makes no sense.
(05:31):
What kind of prince would fallfor a woke Colombian woman who
looks like a fish?
Wow, I sold out years ago andI'm a coward.
Thanks, stephen, excuse me,hello, what's that?
You have an idea for a moviethat will save Disney's
reputation?
It's guaranteed to be a hit andyou want me to star in it.
Come on, steven, let's go seeBob Iger.
Thanks for coming, rachel.
This Snow White flop hasunexpectedly tarnished the
reputation of Disney.
Who knew reimagining Snow Whiteas a woke Colombian woman who
(05:51):
resembles a fish would be sounappealing to audiences
everywhere?
But I have an idea for a moviethat is certain to turn our bad
luck around.
It sounds amazing.
What is it I want?
To reimagine Hercules as a wokeColombian woman who looks like
a fish.
Oh my god, that sounds amazing.
I sold out years ago and I'm acoward.
I'll take that as a yes.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Just for show.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
It's me, jimmy Kimmel .
I have Jimmy Fallon and StephenColbert with me tonight because
I don't think I can host theshow alone anymore.
That's right, I sold out yearsago and I'm a coward.
We're here to support ourfriend, jimmy.
So, as you know, trump oh jeez,jimmy.
It's okay, buddy, I sold outyears ago and I'm a coward.
(07:01):
James, call the hotline.

There, buddy, cheer up.

Speaker 6 (07:12):

Speaker 8 (07:28):
There there, buddy I sold out years ago and.
Speaker 7 (07:31):

Speaker 9 (07:31):
Taste the biscuit.
Taste the goodness of thebiscuit.
I sold out years ago and I'm acoward.
I don't like the way it tasteswith my chicken wings.
(07:53):
Taste the biscuit.
Taste the goodness of thebiscuit.
Taste the butter spread.
Taste the goodness of thebiscuit with the butter spread
To get your butter spread all onme.
(08:14):
I don't like the way it mixeswith my mac and cheese because
when you're at kfc you got thatspecial sauce to stir my
curiosity people said to mearen't you lucky that health
care became the central issue ofthe election?
Speaker 8 (08:38):
I said no, we weren't lucky, we made our own luck.
People are not going to getover not having needs that they
should have, having what theyneed.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Yeah, you already said that.
Speaker 8 (08:48):
Needs that they should have having what they
need.
All I want to do is defeat thisbill or make sure there's a
price to pay for the Republicans, because this cannot be.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
You threatening me?
Speaker 10 (09:11):
Congress approved an additional $200 million for
border security.
A fence has already beenapproved.
Should America build a moat?
Speaker 11 (09:21):
I think the answer is unequivocal.
It's yes, we have two sides ofa moat, but we don't have the
other two.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
It's a well-known fact that Mexicans are not
buoyant.
They sink like rocks.
Speaker 12 (09:32):
That's right.
They're only able to crosswhere it's very shallow water.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I also think we should look into sea monsters.
I was going to say alligators,but yeah, some sort of monster
in the moat, I think we'rethinking inside the box.
Speaker 13 (09:42):
We're thinking a moat is just water.
It could be raw sewage, itcould be oil, it could be lava.
Sure, it could be dragon fire.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
Yes, what do you think it's going to take to
actually protect our borders?
I mean, if we put a moatbetween the United States and
Mexico, is that going to work?
Those people are prettydetermined.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
They're pretty determined, but I think that the
people on this side are prettydamn determined as well to keep
people out.
Now, I don't know if you'veseen this, but they've been
putting up cameras all along theborder and people at home can
register to watch the bordersand protect them, yeah, but
Mexicans are also very good atcatapult engineering.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
We need to step up in our own catapult development.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And we gotta start pointing some of those cameras
at the sky, and I also think weshould put money back into
diseased cows that we can throwback into Mexico.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Mm-hmm.
Two antique dealers in a SUVproceeded to cut me off.
I followed them downtown to oneof them artist's loft.
One of the guys came to thedoor.
Speaker 13 (11:16):
He said hi, he must be Mitch.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
I said no.
I punched him in the teeth andsaid I'm a truck driving son of
a bitch.
Oh yeah, Truck driving son of abitch.
Truck driving son of a bitch,Chain smoking.
Maybe he's joking Truck drivingson of a bitch.
Speaker 1 (11:38):

Let's enjoy the ride .
President Trump, for the chaosin LA for sending by sending the
National Guard in.
Are you aware that they werealready rioting before you sent
the National Guard in?
Speaker 14 (14:29):
Not even just about the National Guard.
This is about the Trumpadministration.
That's not related to theNational Guard.
It's related to ICE and theTrump administration.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
So it's about the Trump administration enforcing
the law.
Breaking the law how are theybreaking the law?
Speaker 14 (14:44):
It is US federal statute that United States
members of Congress have openaccess to detention facilities
and it is illegal illegal forICE to block entry for
investigations of thosefacilities.
They blocked and barred membersof Congress from investigating
these facilities at the start ofthis in Los Angeles, in New
(15:06):
York.
This is documented.
Do your job.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
They got there.
No, they got into investigatingthe facility.
Yeah, they did.
And the Monica McIver.
Do you think it's okay toassault law enforcement?
Is it okay to body slam lawenforcement, congresswoman?
Is it okay to body?
Is it okay to attack lawenforcement, congresswoman?
You didn it down the road.
Speaker 2 (15:50):

We take care of our own.
You cross that line.
It won't take long for you tofind out.
I recommend you don't Try thatin a small town.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
When, when I grow up, I want to work for a woke
company like super woke when Igrow up.
Speaker 14 (16:09):
When I grow up, I want to be hired based on what I
look like rather than my skills.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I want to be judged by my political beliefs.
I want to get promoted based onmy chromosomes.
When I grow up, I want to beoffended by my coworkers and
walk around the office oneggshells and have my words
policed by HR Words likegrandfather, peanut gallery,
long time, no see, no, can do.
When I grow up, I want to beobsessed with emotional safety
(16:35):
and do workplace sensitivitytraining all day long.
When I grow up, I want to climbthe corporate ladder just by
following the crowd.
Speaker 14 (16:43):
I want to be a conformist.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I want to weaponize my pronouns.
What are pronouns?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's time to grow up and get back to work.
Introducing the number one woke, free job board in America
redballoonwork.
Why don't we liberate?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
these United States.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We're the ones who need it worst.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Let the rest of the world help us for change and
let's rebuild.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
America first.
Our highways and bridges arefalling apart.
Who's blessed and who has beencursed?
There's things to be done allover the world, but let's
rebuild America first, Iremember a teacher that I had.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
He was the principal of the Harrison School in
Vincennes, indiana.
To me this was the greatestteacher, a real sage of my time
anyhow.
He had such wisdom and we wereall reciting the Pledge of
Allegiance.
One day and he walked over thislittle teacher, mr Laswell was
his name, mr Laswell, and hesays.
He says, I've been listening toyou, boys and girls, recite the
(18:00):
Pledge of Allegiance allsemester and it seems as though
it's becoming monotonous to you.
May I recite it and try toexplain to you the meaning of
each word.
I, me, an individual, acommittee of one, pledgeicate
(18:23):
all of my worldly goods to give,without self-pity, allegiance,
my love and my devotion To theflag, our standard, oh glory, a
symbol of freedom.
Wherever she waves, there'srespect, because your loyalty
(18:47):
has given her a dignity thatshouts freedom is everybody's
job.
United, that means that we haveall come together, states,
individual communities that haveunited into 48 great states, 48
individual communities withpride and dignity and purpose,
(19:11):
all divided with imaginaryboundaries, yet united to a
common purpose, and that's lovefor country and to the Republic.
Republic, a state in whichsovereign power is invested in
representative chosen by thepeople to govern, and government
(19:32):
is the people, and it's fromthe people to the leaders, not
from the leaders to the people,for which it stands.
One nation, one nation, meaning,so blessed by God, indivisible,
(19:52):
incapable of being divided,with liberty, which is freedom,
the right of power to live one'sown life without threats, fear
or some sort of retaliation.
And justice, the principle orqualities of dealing fairly with
(20:14):
others For all.
For all, which means, boys andgirls, it's as much your country
as it is mine.
And now, boys and girls, let mehear you recite the Pledge of
Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flagof the United States of America
(20:39):
and to the republic for whichit stands one nation,
indivisible, with liberty andjustice for all.
Since I was a small boy, twostates have been added to our
country and two words have beenadded to the P of allegiance
(21:03):
Under God.
Wouldn't it be a pity ifsomeone said that is a prayer
and that would be eliminatedfrom schools too?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I walked through a county courthouse square on a
park bench and an old man wassitting there.
I said your old courthouse iskind of run down.
He said no, it'll do for ourlittle town.
I said your old flagpole isleaned a little bit and that's a
ragged old flag you got hangingon it.
He said have a seat.
(21:43):
And I said, al, is this thefirst time you've been to our
little town?
I said I think it is.
He said I don't like to brag,but we're kind of proud of that
ragged old flag.
You see, we got a little holein that flag there when
(22:03):
Washington took it across theDelaware and it got powder
burned.
The night that Francis ScottKey said Washington's right and
say can you see?
And it got a bad rip in NewOrleans with Packingham and
Jackson tugging at its seams andit almost fell at the Alamo
(22:29):
Beside the Texas flag.
But she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword atChancellorsville and she got cut
again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E Lee,beauregard and Bragg, and the
south wind blew hard on thatragged old flag On Flanders
(22:53):
Field in World War I she got abig hole from a berth of gun.
She turned blood red.
In World War I she got a bighole from a birth of gun.
She turned blood red in WorldWar II.
She hung limp and low a time ortwo.
She was in Korea and Vietnam.
(23:14):
She went where she was sent byher Uncle Sam.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam and
now they've about quit wavingback here at home, in the
Pennsylvania State House that'snow called Independence Hall in
Philadelphia, the best men fromeach of the colonies sat down
together.
This was a very fortunate hourin our nation's history, one of
those rare occasions in thelives of men when we had
greatness to spare.
These were men of means,well-educated.
(23:40):
Twenty-four were lawyers andjurists, nine were farmers,
owners of large plantations.
On June 11, a committee satdown to draw up a declaration of
independence.
We were going to tell theBritish fatherland no more rule
by redcoats Below the dam, aruthless foreign rule.
A stream of freedom was runningshallow and muddy and we were
going to like fuse to dynamitethat dam.
(24:02):
This pact, as Burke later putit, was a partnership between
the living and the dead and theyet unborn.
There was no bigotry, there wasno demagoguery in this group.
All had shared hardship.
Jefferson finished the draft ofthe document in 17 days.
Congress adopted it in July,and so much is familiar history.
(24:24):
But now King George III haddenounced all rebels in America
as traitors.
Punishment for treason washanging.
The names now so familiar toyou from the several signatures
on that Declaration ofIndependence.
The names were kept secret forsix months, for each knew the
(24:47):
full meaning of that magnificentlast paragraph in which his
signature pledged his life, hisfortune and his sacred honor.
His fortune and his sacredhonor.
56 men placed their namesbeneath that pledge.
56 men knew when they signedthat they were risking
(25:10):
everything.
They knew if they won thisfight, the best they could
expect would be years ofhardship in a struggling nation.
And if they lost they'd face ahangman's rope.
But they signed the pledge andhere is the documented fate of
that gallant 56.
Carter Braxton of Virginia,wealthy planter trader, saw his
(25:31):
ships swept from the seas to payhis debt.
He lost his home and all of hisproperties and died in rags.
Thomas Lynch Jr, who signedthat pledge, was a
third-generation rice grower,aristocrat, large plantation
owner.
After he signed, his healthfailed His wife and he set out
(25:55):
for France to regain his failinghealth.
Their ship never got to France,was never heard from again.
Thomas McKean of Delaware wasso harassed by the enemy that he
was forced to move his familyfive times in five months.
He served in Congress withoutpay, his family in poverty and
in hiding.
Vandals looted the propertiesof Ellery and Clymer and Hall
and Gwinnett and Walton andHayward and Rutledge and
(26:17):
Middleton.
Thomas Nelson Jr of Virginiaraised $2 million, on his own
signature, to provision ourallies, the French fleet, after
the war.
He personally paid back theloans, wiped out his entire
estate and he was neverreimbursed by his government.
In the final battle forYorktown, he, nelson, urged
(26:38):
General Washington to fire onhis Nelson's own home, which was
occupied by Cornwallis.
It was destroyed.
Thomas Nelson Jr had pledgedhis life, his fortune and his
sacred honor.
The Hessians seized the home ofFrancis Hopkinson of New Jersey.
Francis Lewis had his home andeverything destroyed, his wife
(27:02):
imprisoned.
She died within a few months.
Richard Stockton, who signedthat declaration, was captured
and mistreated, his healthbroken to the extent that he
died at 51.
His estate was pillaged.
Thomas Hayward Jr was capturedwhen Charleston fell.
John Hart was driven from hiswife's bedside while she was
(27:23):
dying.
Their 13 children fled in alldirections for their lives.
His fields and grist mill werelaid waste.
For more than a year he livedin forests and caves and
returned home after the war tofind his wife dead, his children
gone, his properties gone, andhe died a few weeks later of
exhaustion and a broken heart.
Lewis Morris saw his landdestroyed, his family scattered.
(27:47):
Philip Livingston died within afew months from the hardships
of the war.
John Hancock history remembersbest.
Due to a quirk of fate ratherthan anything, he stood for that
great, sweeping signatureattesting to his vanity towers
over the others, one of thewealthiest men in New England.
And yet he stood outside Bostonone terrible night of the war
(28:10):
and he said burn Boston, thoughit makes John Hancock a beggar
if the public good requires it.
So he too lived up to thepledge.
Of the 56, few were long tosurvive.
Five were captured by theBritish and tortured before they
died.
Twelve had their homes, fromRhode Island to Charleston,
(28:33):
sacked, looted, occupied by theenemy or burned.
Two lost their sons in the army.
One had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 died in the war,from its hardships or from its
more merciful bullet.
I don't know what impression youhad had of the men who met that
(28:56):
summer in Philadelphia, but Ithink it's important that we
remember this about them theywere not poor men.
They were not wild-eyed pirates.
These were men of means.
They were rich men, most ofthem, and had enjoyed much ease
and luxury in their personalliving.
Not hungry men, certainly notterrorists, not irresponsible
(29:20):
malcontents, not fanaticalincendiaries.
These men were prosperous men,wealthy landowners.
They were substantially securein their prosperity.
They had everything to lose,but they considered liberty, and
this is as much as I shall sayof it.
They had learned that libertyis so much more important than
(29:45):
security that they pledged theirlives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor, and theyfulfilled their pledge.
They paid the price.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
And freedom was born.
We hold these truths to be soevident that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed bytheir Creator with certain
unalienable rights that amongthese are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Mr Pat Walsh from Hill, national Empire.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
It bled from first evening air.
They proved through the nightthat our flag was still there.
Oh say, does that star-spangledbanner yet wave?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
And the home of the brave, the Brave.

First of all, steven, it wasweird, but I did enjoy
reimagining the character as awoke Colombian woman who looks
like a fish.
Well, I sold out years ago andI'm a coward.
Are you surprised that everyonehates the movie?
Not at all.
Society is far too racist andmisogynist to appreciate the
(05:11):
reimagining of a classic Disneyprincess as an ugly Colombian
chick.
I sold out years ago and I'm acoward.
You don't think making themovie a woke piece of garbage
has anything to do with peoplehating it?
Not really.
The original story has SnowWhite falling in love with a
prince, but in the remake that'ssuper weird and makes no sense.
(05:31):
What kind of prince would fallfor a woke Colombian woman who
looks like a fish?
Wow, I sold out years ago andI'm a coward.
Thanks, stephen, excuse me,hello, what's that?
You have an idea for a moviethat will save Disney's
reputation?
It's guaranteed to be a hit andyou want me to star in it.
Come on, steven, let's go seeBob Iger.
Thanks for coming, rachel.
This Snow White flop hasunexpectedly tarnished the
reputation of Disney.
Who knew reimagining Snow Whiteas a woke Colombian woman who
(05:51):
resembles a fish would be sounappealing to audiences
everywhere?
But I have an idea for a moviethat is certain to turn our bad
luck around.
It sounds amazing.
What is it I want?
To reimagine Hercules as a wokeColombian woman who looks like
a fish.
Oh my god, that sounds amazing.
I sold out years ago and I'm acoward.
I'll take that as a yes.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Just for show.
Speaker 7 (06:41):

(08:14):
I don't like the way it mixeswith my mac and cheese because
when you're at kfc you got thatspecial sauce to stir my
curiosity people said to mearen't you lucky that health
care became the central issue ofthe election?
Speaker 8 (08:38):
I said no, we weren't lucky, we made our own luck.
People are not going to getover not having needs that they
should have, having what theyneed.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Yeah, you already said that.
Speaker 8 (08:48):
Needs that they should have having what they
need.
All I want to do is defeat thisbill or make sure there's a
price to pay for the Republicans, because this cannot be.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
You threatening me?
Speaker 10 (09:11):
Congress approved an additional $200 million for
border security.
A fence has already beenapproved.
Should America build a moat?
Speaker 11 (09:21):
I think the answer is unequivocal.
It's yes, we have two sides ofa moat, but we don't have the
other two.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
It's a well-known fact that Mexicans are not
buoyant.
They sink like rocks.
Speaker 12 (09:32):
That's right.
They're only able to crosswhere it's very shallow water.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I also think we should look into sea monsters.
I was going to say alligators,but yeah, some sort of monster
in the moat, I think we'rethinking inside the box.
Speaker 13 (09:42):
We're thinking a moat is just water.
It could be raw sewage, itcould be oil, it could be lava.
Sure, it could be dragon fire.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
Yes, what do you think it's going to take to
actually protect our borders?
I mean, if we put a moatbetween the United States and
Mexico, is that going to work?
Those people are prettydetermined.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
They're pretty determined, but I think that the
people on this side are prettydamn determined as well to keep
people out.
Now, I don't know if you'veseen this, but they've been
putting up cameras all along theborder and people at home can
register to watch the bordersand protect them, yeah, but
Mexicans are also very good atcatapult engineering.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
We need to step up in our own catapult development.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And we gotta start pointing some of those cameras
at the sky, and I also think weshould put money back into
diseased cows that we can throwback into Mexico.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Mm-hmm.
Two antique dealers in a SUVproceeded to cut me off.
I followed them downtown to oneof them artist's loft.
One of the guys came to thedoor.
Speaker 13 (11:16):
He said hi, he must be Mitch.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
I said no.
I punched him in the teeth andsaid I'm a truck driving son of
a bitch.
Oh yeah, Truck driving son of abitch.
Truck driving son of a bitch,Chain smoking.
Maybe he's joking Truck drivingson of a bitch.
Speaker 1 (11:38):

Let's enjoy the ride .
President Trump, for the chaosin LA for sending by sending the
National Guard in.
Are you aware that they werealready rioting before you sent
the National Guard in?
Speaker 14 (14:29):
Not even just about the National Guard.
This is about the Trumpadministration.
That's not related to theNational Guard.
It's related to ICE and theTrump administration.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
So it's about the Trump administration enforcing
the law.
Breaking the law how are theybreaking the law?
Speaker 14 (14:44):
It is US federal statute that United States
members of Congress have openaccess to detention facilities
and it is illegal illegal forICE to block entry for
investigations of thosefacilities.
They blocked and barred membersof Congress from investigating
these facilities at the start ofthis in Los Angeles, in New
(15:06):
York.
This is documented.
Do your job.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
They got there.
No, they got into investigatingthe facility.
Yeah, they did.
And the Monica McIver.
Do you think it's okay toassault law enforcement?
Is it okay to body slam lawenforcement, congresswoman?
Is it okay to body?
Is it okay to attack lawenforcement, congresswoman?
You didn it down the road.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Around here.
We take care of our own.
You cross that line.
It won't take long for you tofind out.
I recommend you don't Try thatin a small town.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
When, when I grow up, I want to work for a woke
company like super woke when Igrow up.
Speaker 14 (16:09):
When I grow up, I want to be hired based on what I
look like rather than my skills.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I want to be judged by my political beliefs.
I want to get promoted based onmy chromosomes.
When I grow up, I want to beoffended by my coworkers and
walk around the office oneggshells and have my words
policed by HR Words likegrandfather, peanut gallery,
long time, no see, no, can do.
When I grow up, I want to beobsessed with emotional safety
(16:35):
and do workplace sensitivitytraining all day long.
When I grow up, I want to climbthe corporate ladder just by
following the crowd.
Speaker 14 (16:43):
I want to be a conformist.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I want to weaponize my pronouns.
What are pronouns?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's time to grow up and get back to work.
Introducing the number one woke, free job board in America
redballoonwork.
Why don't we liberate?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
these United States.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
We're the ones who need it worst.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Let the rest of the world help us for change and
let's rebuild.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
America first.
Our highways and bridges arefalling apart.
Who's blessed and who has beencursed?
There's things to be done allover the world, but let's
rebuild America first, Iremember a teacher that I had.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
He was the principal of the Harrison School in
Vincennes, indiana.
To me this was the greatestteacher, a real sage of my time
anyhow.
He had such wisdom and we wereall reciting the Pledge of
Allegiance.
One day and he walked over thislittle teacher, mr Laswell was
his name, mr Laswell, and hesays.
He says, I've been listening toyou, boys and girls, recite the
(18:00):
Pledge of Allegiance allsemester and it seems as though
it's becoming monotonous to you.
May I recite it and try toexplain to you the meaning of
each word.
I, me, an individual, acommittee of one, pledgeicate
(18:23):
all of my worldly goods to give,without self-pity, allegiance,
my love and my devotion To theflag, our standard, oh glory, a
symbol of freedom.
Wherever she waves, there'srespect, because your loyalty
(18:47):
has given her a dignity thatshouts freedom is everybody's
job.
United, that means that we haveall come together, states,
individual communities that haveunited into 48 great states, 48
individual communities withpride and dignity and purpose,
(19:11):
all divided with imaginaryboundaries, yet united to a
common purpose, and that's lovefor country and to the Republic.
Republic, a state in whichsovereign power is invested in
representative chosen by thepeople to govern, and government
(19:32):
is the people, and it's fromthe people to the leaders, not
from the leaders to the people,for which it stands.
One nation, one nation, meaning,so blessed by God, indivisible,
(19:52):
incapable of being divided,with liberty, which is freedom,
the right of power to live one'sown life without threats, fear
or some sort of retaliation.
And justice, the principle orqualities of dealing fairly with
(20:14):
others For all.
For all, which means, boys andgirls, it's as much your country
as it is mine.
And now, boys and girls, let mehear you recite the Pledge of
Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flagof the United States of America
(20:39):
and to the republic for whichit stands one nation,
indivisible, with liberty andjustice for all.
Since I was a small boy, twostates have been added to our
country and two words have beenadded to the P of allegiance
(21:03):
Under God.
Wouldn't it be a pity ifsomeone said that is a prayer
and that would be eliminatedfrom schools too?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I walked through a county courthouse square on a
park bench and an old man wassitting there.
I said your old courthouse iskind of run down.
He said no, it'll do for ourlittle town.
I said your old flagpole isleaned a little bit and that's a
ragged old flag you got hangingon it.
He said have a seat.
(21:43):
And I said, al, is this thefirst time you've been to our
little town?
I said I think it is.
He said I don't like to brag,but we're kind of proud of that
ragged old flag.
You see, we got a little holein that flag there when
(22:03):
Washington took it across theDelaware and it got powder
burned.
The night that Francis ScottKey said Washington's right and
say can you see?
And it got a bad rip in NewOrleans with Packingham and
Jackson tugging at its seams andit almost fell at the Alamo
(22:29):
Beside the Texas flag.
But she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword atChancellorsville and she got cut
again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E Lee,beauregard and Bragg, and the
south wind blew hard on thatragged old flag On Flanders
(22:53):
Field in World War I she got abig hole from a berth of gun.
She turned blood red.
In World War I she got a bighole from a birth of gun.
She turned blood red in WorldWar II.
She hung limp and low a time ortwo.
She was in Korea and Vietnam.
(23:14):
She went where she was sent byher Uncle Sam.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam and
now they've about quit wavingback here at home, in the
Pennsylvania State House that'snow called Independence Hall in
Philadelphia, the best men fromeach of the colonies sat down
together.
This was a very fortunate hourin our nation's history, one of
those rare occasions in thelives of men when we had
greatness to spare.
These were men of means,well-educated.
(23:40):
Twenty-four were lawyers andjurists, nine were farmers,
owners of large plantations.
On June 11, a committee satdown to draw up a declaration of
independence.
We were going to tell theBritish fatherland no more rule
by redcoats Below the dam, aruthless foreign rule.
A stream of freedom was runningshallow and muddy and we were
going to like fuse to dynamitethat dam.
(24:02):
This pact, as Burke later putit, was a partnership between
the living and the dead and theyet unborn.
There was no bigotry, there wasno demagoguery in this group.
All had shared hardship.
Jefferson finished the draft ofthe document in 17 days.
Congress adopted it in July,and so much is familiar history.
(24:24):
But now King George III haddenounced all rebels in America
as traitors.
Punishment for treason washanging.
The names now so familiar toyou from the several signatures
on that Declaration ofIndependence.
The names were kept secret forsix months, for each knew the
(24:47):
full meaning of that magnificentlast paragraph in which his
signature pledged his life, hisfortune and his sacred honor.
His fortune and his sacredhonor.
56 men placed their namesbeneath that pledge.
56 men knew when they signedthat they were risking
(25:10):
everything.
They knew if they won thisfight, the best they could
expect would be years ofhardship in a struggling nation.
And if they lost they'd face ahangman's rope.
But they signed the pledge andhere is the documented fate of
that gallant 56.
Carter Braxton of Virginia,wealthy planter trader, saw his
(25:31):
ships swept from the seas to payhis debt.
He lost his home and all of hisproperties and died in rags.
Thomas Lynch Jr, who signedthat pledge, was a
third-generation rice grower,aristocrat, large plantation
owner.
After he signed, his healthfailed His wife and he set out
(25:55):
for France to regain his failinghealth.
Their ship never got to France,was never heard from again.
Thomas McKean of Delaware wasso harassed by the enemy that he
was forced to move his familyfive times in five months.
He served in Congress withoutpay, his family in poverty and
in hiding.
Vandals looted the propertiesof Ellery and Clymer and Hall
and Gwinnett and Walton andHayward and Rutledge and
(26:17):
Middleton.
Thomas Nelson Jr of Virginiaraised $2 million, on his own
signature, to provision ourallies, the French fleet, after
the war.
He personally paid back theloans, wiped out his entire
estate and he was neverreimbursed by his government.
In the final battle forYorktown, he, nelson, urged
(26:38):
General Washington to fire onhis Nelson's own home, which was
occupied by Cornwallis.
It was destroyed.
Thomas Nelson Jr had pledgedhis life, his fortune and his
sacred honor.
The Hessians seized the home ofFrancis Hopkinson of New Jersey.
Francis Lewis had his home andeverything destroyed, his wife
(27:02):
imprisoned.
She died within a few months.
Richard Stockton, who signedthat declaration, was captured
and mistreated, his healthbroken to the extent that he
died at 51.
His estate was pillaged.
Thomas Hayward Jr was capturedwhen Charleston fell.
John Hart was driven from hiswife's bedside while she was
(27:23):
dying.
Their 13 children fled in alldirections for their lives.
His fields and grist mill werelaid waste.
For more than a year he livedin forests and caves and
returned home after the war tofind his wife dead, his children
gone, his properties gone, andhe died a few weeks later of
exhaustion and a broken heart.
Lewis Morris saw his landdestroyed, his family scattered.
(27:47):
Philip Livingston died within afew months from the hardships
of the war.
John Hancock history remembersbest.
Due to a quirk of fate ratherthan anything, he stood for that
great, sweeping signatureattesting to his vanity towers
over the others, one of thewealthiest men in New England.
And yet he stood outside Bostonone terrible night of the war
(28:10):
and he said burn Boston, thoughit makes John Hancock a beggar
if the public good requires it.
So he too lived up to thepledge.
Of the 56, few were long tosurvive.
Five were captured by theBritish and tortured before they
died.
Twelve had their homes, fromRhode Island to Charleston,
(28:33):
sacked, looted, occupied by theenemy or burned.
Two lost their sons in the army.
One had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 died in the war,from its hardships or from its
more merciful bullet.
I don't know what impression youhad had of the men who met that
(28:56):
summer in Philadelphia, but Ithink it's important that we
remember this about them theywere not poor men.
They were not wild-eyed pirates.
These were men of means.
They were rich men, most ofthem, and had enjoyed much ease
and luxury in their personalliving.
Not hungry men, certainly notterrorists, not irresponsible
(29:20):
malcontents, not fanaticalincendiaries.
These men were prosperous men,wealthy landowners.
They were substantially securein their prosperity.
They had everything to lose,but they considered liberty, and
this is as much as I shall sayof it.
They had learned that libertyis so much more important than
(29:45):
security that they pledged theirlives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor, and theyfulfilled their pledge.
They paid the price.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
And freedom was born.
We hold these truths to be soevident that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed bytheir Creator with certain
unalienable rights that amongthese are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Mr Pat Walsh from Hill, national Empire.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
It bled from first evening air.
They proved through the nightthat our flag was still there.
Oh say, does that star-spangledbanner yet wave?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
And the home of the brave, the Brave.
