make up for all their negative publicity, but hey, all

what happened. On September the twenty sixth, fifteen eighty Francis
(02:40):
Drake and his men. They arrived in Plymouth, England. Took
him thirty three months to sail all the way around
the world. Now he made it back. Remember Magellan didn't
make it back so one. In Canno he actually got
credit for being the first one to sell around the world.
But Drake and his guys. Yeah, they were the first
ones to map it. Seventeen eighty nine, Thomas Jefferson, and
he was sworn as the United States first Secretary of State.
Also John Jay he was sworn in as the first
(03:01):
US Supreme Court Chief Justice. Just a little side note
back with all these founding fathers are getting sworn in
and all that kind of stuff. This is kind of interesting. Now.
They were all trying to set up America so it
could sustain itself for generations and generations. Not Thomas Jefferson. No,
see Jefferson, he wanted the US Constitution. They thought it
should be written there every nineteen years. Well, yeah, he
(03:22):
considered nineteen years what a generation was? They said, why
would you want that? He said, well, he didn't believe
that the dead you'd be able to govern the living.
Nineteen eighteen and World War One in western France the
mews Argone offense. It began, lasted for forty seven days.
Now over one million US soldiers fought in it. Now
it did actually lead to Germany surrendering in World War One,
(03:43):
but it is a deadly as military campaign in US history.
Twenty six undred and seventy seven US soldiers were killed
and over one hundred and twenty thousand were wounded. Now
this would suck, and I'll have to admit I'd have
probably gone up there and beat the crap out of
the guy, and not for political eguses. Nineteen sixty Cuba
al Castro. He gave a four hour and twenty nine
minute speech to the United Nations That night. In nineteen sixty,
(04:06):
seventy five million people watched the first televised presidential debate
in US history. Richard Nixon and John Kennedy went at it. Now,
what's interesting is the people who actually watched the debate
on TV, yeah, they thought the Kennedy won. And those
that listened on the radio they thought Nixon won. I
think probably Kennedy. He might have been just a tad
bit more Hanson than Nixon. That's probably why won TV.

first flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Flew from Washington, DC
to Paris, France in three hours in thirty three minutes.

means no child under seventeen can go to the theater
and watch that movie, even with Parriner Guardian. So what
happened to the X rating. Well, the X rating it
(04:47):
had gotten taken over by the porn industry, so a
regular movie is They didn't want to be associated with that.
They said, okay, porn, you can have X. We're gonna
go NC seventeen. So yeah, the first NC seventeen movie.
It was Herr, Henry and Junior. It starred Uma Thurman,
Fred Ward and Kevin Spacey. Now it contained lesbian sex
scenes nudity, but it wasn't porn. It actually got nominated
(05:10):

are not native to the United States. So yeah, he's
one who brought it. I didn't just walk around scattering
seeds or anything like that. What he did is he
planted orchards and orchards and nurseries. Then he'd get people
