Learn English with John Adams. John Adams was a lawyer and judge who served as the Chief Justice of the United States from 1797 to 1799. He served as Chief Justice for the District of Columbia from 1799-1799, and served on the Supreme Court from 1801-1802.
00:03:26.700what else is there to do well man you're the one that wrote it I wrote all of it mr. Adams
00:03:39.700There. There it is, Rutland. You have your slavery. Little good may it do you. Now vote, damn you.
00:04:06.900Mr. President, the fair colony of South Carolina says yea.
00:04:14.900South Carolina says yea. North Carolina says yea. North Carolina says yea.
00:04:21.900Georgia. Georgia says yea. Georgia says yea. Pennsylvania, second call.
00:04:30.900Mr. President, Pennsylvania regrets all of the inconvenience that such distinguished men as Adams, Franklin and Jefferson were put to just now.
00:04:42.900They might have kept their document intact for all the difference it will make.
00:12:22.900It is a musical, but it's a quite stunning kind of dramatic presentation of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and its promulgation.
00:12:30.900It will be on Turner Classic Movies TCM tonight at 1030 Eastern Daylight Time.
00:12:36.900If you have not seen it, or particularly haven't seen it with the kids, I strongly recommend it.
00:12:42.900It's a very, it's a quite brilliant presentation of what happened in a musical format.
00:12:47.900And I've had the opportunity to see it live on Broadway a couple of times and also just obviously a big fan of the film.
00:13:48.900Tons of great content out there about the revolution and about the revolutionary war.
00:13:54.900I think Ken Burns, who I realized that some people's not their cup of tea.
00:13:57.900Although even as a Southerner, I think the civil war is an objective work of art.
00:14:03.900His documentary series, he's coming out with a new one on the American revolution that I think they're going to tease it, uh, over the weekend.
00:14:10.900And I think it comes out in the fall short commercial break, our finest combat historian who wrote two books on combat of the American revolution.
00:14:19.900Patrick K. O'Donnell joins a short commercial break back in the war room on the 4th of July.
00:14:24.900We'll never be huzzah, huzzah, huzzah, huzzah, huzzah for free America.
00:14:33.900Some future days shall crown us the masters of the main.
00:14:39.900Our fleets shall speak in thunder to England, France, and Spain.
00:14:45.900The nations o'er the oceans spread shall tremble and obey.
00:14:50.900The prince who rules by freedom's laws in North America.
00:14:57.900This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
00:15:04.900The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia,
00:15:09.900are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:16:39.900You can't just type in coordinates and take a turn here and there and you know where you're going to be.
00:16:44.900But you do have a sense, I think, that the country has a deficit of trust, a rising distrust in democracy.
00:16:55.900The question is what do they think of when they say democracy?
00:17:00.900What I think of is the rule of law, the Constitution, and that you can't be for the system,
00:17:08.900you can't have faith in the system only when you prevail.
00:17:12.900And I what I fear is that there is that too many of us who are supporters of President Trump are inclined to defer to one man, one party, one interest at the to the exclusion of using something that was so vital to the American Revolution and which informed the document that we're commemorating tomorrow.
00:17:38.900The signing of the document, which is that reason is supposed to at least have a fighting chance with passion in the public arena.
00:17:47.900And so what we're facing is a test of citizenship.
00:17:51.900Are we willing to call balls and strikes as we see them or are we going to only call them balls or strikes depending on who's pitching?
00:18:02.900I know you can make an argument of why would we soil our commemoration of the birth of this nation with someone like John Misham at MSNBC.
00:18:17.900But I think it's very important to see the mindset of the elites in this country right there.
00:18:41.900It took a lot of time for that expeditionary force to get from, I think, Halifax up in Canada down.
00:18:47.900They knew it was coming when this document was drafted.
00:18:52.900When this document was debated, when this document was then read and is final, when the document was signed.
00:19:01.900The revolutionary generation understood they were putting it all online because the British were already here and they weren't going to give it up and they knew they weren't going to give up.
00:19:12.900Not just the British crown, but you had the monopolistic power of the British East India Company and other powerful economic forces, which they also don't teach.
00:19:27.900This great fight for America, I think, started in mid-August and it was a route at first, an absolute route as the British envisioned it would be.
00:19:34.900They would put this thing down in the first 90 days and hold that up for the world to see.
00:19:38.900You, part of the British Empire, you want to break off.
00:19:41.900This is what's going to happen to you.
00:21:04.900And if we take enough time and prove the facts of that, you should be deported because it's a crime of which you did among many.
00:21:16.900But the audacity today with President Trump on a roll using democratic procedures as messy as they are and they're messy and the compromises you have to make because you have to make compromises.
00:21:28.900I know which many in the audience here don't like, including myself.
00:23:25.900This audience, the precinct strategy, all the work you've done, going door to door, texting congressmen and all the times when he sees last week, you know, the no cuts, the frustration.
00:24:46.900The most reasonable thing in the world is when Trump had the election stolen and went back to Mar-a-Lago.
00:24:52.900When Murdoch's trying to make him a non-person and McConnell and all these guys are going to impeach him and be rid of him, never hear from him again.
00:29:59.900We're going to break down a lot of that tomorrow of where actually we stand and we're going to talk about the implementation of the big, beautiful bill across the board of many different aspects of it.
00:30:08.900Also, Philip Patrick is going to join us.
00:32:27.900And it just – I don't think anybody's ever had a more successful first six months of an administration than what President Trump is doing in the reclamation of our nation and returning her to her greatness.
00:32:38.900So we'll be back here live on the 4th of John.
00:32:40.900Normally, we don't do an afternoon show, and we're just doing this.
00:32:43.900Rob Sieg and Parker Sieg are making it available because I think everybody realizes it's very important to cover the live signing.
00:32:49.900I'm sure President Trump, as he is wont to do, may have a couple of three comments, right?
00:32:54.900And he disintermediates the mainstream media and talks right to the people.
00:33:01.900If – I don't know if it's locked in for four or five.
00:33:04.900My crack staff is going to tell me here in a minute or two.
00:33:08.900Patrick K. O'Donnell, I don't want to – because I don't have you tomorrow.
00:33:12.900Normally, we do a couple of days of coverage on this.
00:33:15.900You wrote two amazing books on the combat history of the revolution, both the Indispensables about the guys from Marblehead that were actually kind of the crew for both the American Dunkirk and, of course, crossing the Delaware.
00:33:30.900And there were so many other key elements.
00:33:33.900Also, Washington's Immortals, which you really get the American thermopoly right there in Brooklyn.
00:33:39.900Why don't you tell me about that because Americans don't understand there were some – because it's not taught.
00:33:45.900There were some epic battles in the first, I don't know, 90 days of the formation of the republic after the 4th of July.
00:33:52.900They're among the most important battles in American history and just have not gotten the coverage until guys like you.
00:33:58.900The American thermopoly is – the heroes of it are buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in Brooklyn, sir.
00:34:12.900Yeah, this is one of the greatest battles in American history that nobody knows about until I wrote Washington's Immortals, which is about the Maryland 400 or the bayonets of the revolution.
00:34:26.900This is the Marylanders that make an epic stand that it's an hour in our history more precious than any other, as one contemporary historian of the time said.
00:34:37.900And the British were about to destroy much of Washington's army had it not been for the Marylanders, though, that they charge near a house that is manned by troops from Earl Cornwallis.
00:34:53.900And the men make a series of charges under the command of Lord Sterling or General Sterling in the American army that they form up into ranks several times.
00:35:06.900They're one of the few units to actually have bayonets, an American unit to have bayonets, and they charge the house.
00:35:12.900And as they do this, they open up a gap in the line and allow much of the army to retreat towards the heights of Brooklyn.
00:35:22.900But in the process, they sacrifice themselves.
00:35:25.900These are the sons of the South, some of the greatest families within Maryland that are, as Walt Whitman would say, were blown to atoms by Cornwallis' cannon that were there and musket fire.
00:35:40.900But they sacrifice themselves for the good of the army.
00:35:47.900But in the process, they're forgotten.
00:35:49.900And I came across their sign nearly 20, 15, 20 years ago, 15 years ago or so.
00:35:57.900And it said, you know, here lie 256 Continental soldiers, Maryland heroes.
00:36:03.900And I wanted to know the story behind that.
00:36:07.900You know, what's a sign doing on a VFW post, American Legion post, where there's these American heroes?
00:36:14.900And they are buried somewhere in Brooklyn.
00:36:17.900Many of the men were also captured and were put on prisoner ships in New York Harbor.
00:36:23.900And these were kind of floating concentration camps where the men were not fed, you know, disease ran rampant and most of the men died on the ships.
00:36:32.900And then their bodies were just thrown overboard.
00:36:34.900And the bones would just wash ashore at Gravesend Bay and also other parts of Long Island.
00:36:41.900And many of them are gathered at a memorial in Brooklyn, just bones.
00:36:47.900We don't know many of the names of these individuals, but somewhere near the Stonehouse Park, which is still there, where they've recreated the actual Stonehouse that Coronel Wallace's men were in from the original stones.
00:37:03.900This is where this this really this incredible action takes place by the Marylanders.
00:37:08.900And I detail this in great, great detail in Washington's Immortals, as well as in my other best selling book, The Indispensables.
00:37:21.900And that hour prevents the combined weight of, you know, 20,000 British soldiers, as well as Hessian soldiers from reuniting and crushing the United States, most of the army, which is in the heights of Brooklyn.
00:37:40.900This is why it's so important, because had they been able to unite Washington's army, much of it would have been destroyed.
00:37:47.900Even Washington himself would have been captured, probably in the rebellion or the United States, as we know it, probably would cease to exist.
00:37:55.900But it leads up to really the second thing that you mentioned, which is the American Dunkirk, Steve.
00:38:01.900And tell me about, so you had Thermopylae, and then a few days later, they had to make a decision.
00:38:10.900Remember, the army was virtually shattered.
00:38:12.900And the whole strategy of General Washington, that you had to have an army in being, that you had to have to keep intact the American, as small as it was, the Continental Army, so that you actually had something, the militias would have something to rally around.
00:38:29.900And you at least have some sort of professional, as stragglers as they were, you have some sort of professional army.
00:38:35.760You had to keep the army intact, and that's when they got backed up to Brooklyn Heights, and those who are familiar with New York, Brooklyn Heights, the tip of Brooklyn, looks right across the East River, right there to lower Manhattan.
00:38:47.960It's where the Brooklyn Bridge is, or just south of where the Brooklyn Bridge is today.
00:38:52.940They got backed up, they got their backs up there, and Washington, there was, I think, General Lord Sterling and others wanted to take a stand and just dig in against redoubts and take on the British.
00:39:04.720But General Washington made a decision that he was going to extract the army and try to get across, which was, as you know, one of the most dangerous things to try to, amphibious, try to get troops across any body of water is always dangerous, particularly when you have the Royal Navy.
00:39:23.000It's right there in New York Harbor, right off the battery, with warships.
00:39:30.060So talk to us, how did we actually extract ourselves out of there and save the army, sir?
00:39:36.720This is American Dunkirk and American Miracle, because you have a massive army of over 20,000 British troops in front of you, along with their Hessian allies.
00:39:48.620And then behind you is this massive British fleet that could potentially sail up the East River behind the fortifications at Brooklyn Heights and destroy the army.
00:40:02.820And as Washington decides to evacuate, and it falls upon the shoulders of the Indispensables or the Marblehead Mariners, who are the most experienced sailors in the entire Continental Army.
00:40:17.820And they're only given a few hours to assemble all these small boats that they can find and then begin this operation to transport the wounded, the cannon, the horses, everything over.
00:40:31.900And initially, Steve, it's an absolute disaster because the tides in the river, the river is a torrent.
00:40:53.240There's lots of currents that are very strong, which prevents, in some cases, the British fleet from actually moving up behind the Americans.
00:41:04.160But it's also very challenging to cross.
00:41:06.320And the Marbleheaders aren't getting anywhere initially, and they try to find Washington to call off the operation.
00:41:14.160Can't be found, thankfully, because they continue to press on, and they start to move people off Brooklyn over towards Manhattan.
00:41:28.480They have to do this 12 times, crossing the river in the middle of the night and with a massive army in their front and with the British fleet off to their side.
00:41:44.440There's all of these elements, the variables that the Continental Army has to somehow overcome in the Marbleheaders in particular.
00:41:54.240They're fighting these currents and tides, but then suddenly the wind changes and allows them to move more men back and forth.
00:42:01.700But dawn is coming, and with it, the prying eyes of the British, as well as a 20,000-man or more army that's ready to pounce on the entrenchments, which are not manned, but only just a small force as the men are evacuating.
00:42:18.240And it's here, really, that the hand of God finds America, and a fog sets in at exactly the right time and the right place, which screams the movement and allows the army to evacuate and the Marbleheaders to move the army across to Manhattan safely.
00:42:37.000One of the greatest evacuations in military history.
00:42:42.220And the hand of Providence, which was not lost on General Washington.
00:42:48.240And his staff and the troops, that fog, if it – that fog had not come in, and if the fog had not been so thick, no chance that the army could have been extracted without massive casualties from the Royal Navy.
00:43:02.420The hand of God in the early days of the Revolution.
00:43:07.120By the way, those folks that were fighting there on Brooklyn Heights and extracted, they were quite unreasonable.
00:43:14.280The reasonable thing would have been to work with the British and work some deal out.
00:43:18.240One-third of their countrymen were doing that.
00:43:20.540And particularly, it was infested in New York and particularly lower Manhattan.
00:43:24.680That was one of the worst parts of Tories.
00:43:27.780In fact, they tried to, I think a couple times during the Revolution, actually try to break off.

00:48:04.500But also, I know most people aren't familiar with the benefits of beef liver.
00:48:08.420And we've been getting a good amount of messages recently in regards to why someone should take a product like this and what it does for you.
00:48:15.640But in short, beef liver is arguably one of the best sources of highly bioavailable nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, coenzymes, amino acids, as well as peptides.
00:48:25.340And I always just like to make the analogy that beef liver is essentially nature's multivitamins.
00:48:31.240So you'll get a wide array of vitamins and nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin A, B12, CoQ10, folate, which all do things like help support healthy skin, hair, heart, immune system, as well as brain function.
00:48:46.080And then on top of that, it also contains many vitamins and minerals that most people are deficient in.
00:48:51.320So things like selenium, K2, copper, and a few others.
00:48:56.800But on top of that, I think what most people love most about the beef liver is just the natural energy boost that they get after taking it.
00:49:03.620So that's always something that people give us great feedback on and a nice little value add.
00:49:08.760And then on top of that, what's nice, aside from it being 100% grass-fed and natural, is that the human body can much better absorb these nutrients as opposed to taking like a man-made synthetic multivitamin.
00:49:19.400So right off the bat, you are getting a much better bang for your buck because your body can retain these nutrients much more effectively as opposed to just flushing them out.
00:49:28.340So it's an amazing product for overall health and vitality and our most popular product.
00:49:33.600But we do have a few other products you can check out as well, like our multi-collagen, which is amazing for hair, skin, gut, and joint health.
00:49:41.380And then we have our natural sleep product, which is also extremely popular, our immunity, and then our magnesium with vitamin D.
