if america was god's earth.hile this is all happening, during this time period, as most of you probably know, that british had already launched their campaign into the southern colonies, the rebellious colonies. between 1778 and 1781, british troop transports departed from new york for the south, the carolinas, georgia, virginia on several occasions. each of them included germans, thousands of germans served in the south. hundreds of them occupied savannah and charleston, for example, well after the defeated yorktown. my max next document takes us further south, takes us to west florida. on the left is a printed pamphlet. we have several printed records of the journey from new york to pensacola, west florida. there was east and west florida at the time, west had remained loyal to britain as well. it's another, like canada, another loyal province. those troops sale down in late 1778, stopped over in jamaica, and arrived in pennsylvania pensacola. the regiment that participated in this was the entire valve dike re

as i said, women in america, they made their voices heard. i said last year that one of the most extra ordinary things about this decision is what was about to challenge american women when the justice said, let's say we have it in their power to see what they are going to do, but guess what. you showed up and beat the hell out of them. look. i said it then. those who support ripping away rights to choose don't have a clue about the power of women in america, but now i think they do. by the way, no one worked harder to get that message across then this lady right here.

america with the pilgrims. and that is how you can build into history all of these turning points that allow you to move chronologically but insert origin at different moments and now i told you before that i was going to give away my example in a given away a couple of weeks ago, 1643, does everybody remember now the confederacy is, so important that everybody remembered it in the 19th century, the turning point, the confederacy and nobody remembers today. what happened in 1643. we talked about this a few weeks ago love confederation came together. [inaudible]. >> so for new england colonies come together and sitting 43 and they say we will unite for common defense and of course this becomes in the 19th century, one of the key turning points because it is one of those moments of unions between the colonies prefiguring are looking forward to a much broader union of colonies that will come in 1776 so people are celebrating 1643 in the 19th century and today we don't remember it all and this is how we think about

so it's america 1st, but what is 1st for america? it is defending american interest in asia and our relationship with japan and other countries there who are vital to american security interest in the stage will be interesting to see if china does decide to go an aggressively in a stage. if they decide to go in and how nato will respond to feel, consider them to be an ally. but it's not only in regard to the military. it's also a regard to the pandemic because another organization, the world health organization, really botched the way and handle the coven 19 pendant across the globe. it did not properly, i think, investigate china's claims. initially. the disease could not transfer between humans. surprise, we've learned a can and advised against restricting travel from countries which actually could have slowed the initial spread. and there seems to be this lack of transparency about finding the origin cove itself. labs are looking more and more suspect present. donald trump ever ties with who present bite and rejoined on day one in

in india and south africa and of in america. the vast majority of them, at least 30,000, saw service in america. in august 1776, in a german periodical, the deutscher chronicle, the german chronicle noted optimistically that, quote, soon the english would have to thank the germans a second time for the conquest of america. the editor was to william pitt's famous to germany's role in the seven years. for a decade earlier a war that had resulted in france ceding a large of its territorial possessions in north america along several caribbean islands to britain. earlier that 1776 britain's prime lord north had predicted the higher of the german auxiliaries would bring the war which he a speedy resolution quote the further a fusion of blood. neither of these predictions course, as we know now, came true. the steady supply of germans actually helped keep the war going for seven more years. so before i continue, me emphasize that by the late 1770s, early 1780s, one third of the british regular armies strength in north america consisted

i mean, the fact that america's gonna say a sanctioned china, then what's america going to do for product? this is america, make a toaster or a microwave, or a television power. people going to dress in america, any socks or underwear, or shirts made in america any more, comparatively. so the idea of sanctioning china is just too crazy and the sanction gun is not working. look at cuba. will those sanctions went on on under john f. kennedy as at change cuba behavior? the sanctions on russia are shooting america in europe in the foot, as i said. so please, america don't hurt yourself any more by sanctioning china. right? the rising inflation, the crazy gas prices that we're experiencing here state side. and i imagine you're experiencing high prices down in new zealand as well. i mean, it feels like the u. s. actions so far had been inescapable anywhere in the world. so right now, you know, the, the u. s. record and involvement in these international hot wars and conflicts isn't really boating. well, with the, the younger generation of people right across the middle east, across asia, across

it is about what makes america america. it is about the durability of our democracy. democracy is more than a form of government. they are a way of being. a way of seeing the world. a way that defines who we are. what we believe. why we do what we do. democracy is simply that fundamental. we must, in this moment, dig deep within ourselves and recognize that we cannot take democracy for granted any longer. with democracy on the ballot you have to remember, these first principles. democracy means the rule of the people. not the rule of monarchs or the moneyed, but the rule of the people. autocracy is the opposite of democracy. it means the rule of one. one person, interest, ideology, one party. to state the obvious, the lives of billions of people from antiquity until now have been shaped by the battle of these between these competing forces. between the people's right or self-determination and the self-seeking autocrat. between the dreams of a democracy and the appetites for an autocracy. what we are doing now will determine whether democracy will long endure. in my vi

another event that coincided on the same day is the election to the congress of the united states of america , which coincided, even president biden said that everyone already knew that they had to withdraw the troops and what they were waiting for ahead of the elections, this is a mystery. obviously, they probably hoped for a different result of the congressional elections. for me, the fact that they are withdrawing troops became clear when the russian command began to take away the remains of prince tavriysk. prince potemkin appeared to them, well, it is obvious that this is such an interesting and extravagant figure in the russian history of autocracy, that it is obvious that if they leak, then it is necessary to take away what symbolizes the same statehood in that territory. a capital failure of information, not only informational, but also military, of president putin, at least it was clear that this is a planned, good , methodical special operation and a military operation prepared by our services, our the main command headed by fan za luzhnyi and in the tomos of the main intelligence

then something happened -- america stopped investing in america. we stopped investing in america. american companies went overseas for cheaper labor. manufacturing got hollowed out. today, we are down to producing 30% of the world's chips -- from 30% to only 10%. despite leading the will in research and new design of new technology, but we knew we had to do something to change that. we knew we could not rely on the supply chain. if it was the pandemic or other political decisions made in china, taiwan, other places, it was having an impact on a lot of companies, including this one and our ability to make these chips. that's why i work so darn hard to write and pass the chips and science act to turn things around, and it has had -- it has in a big way turned things around. i contacted a number of the leading companies in the world and the united states that said we are inclined to invest on something you need if the federal government is making a significant investment. it is not state planning. in are you inclined to do that? to accompany, they said yes. we learned companies will

america is the greatest country in history but we are not america but america is not america view oftment that treats people differently under the law produce not supposed to workw that way. it i--tices why 14 agents have e and talk to us as whistleblowers for what they have said is at the highest levels not that rank-and-file but at then washington field office of thefh fbi the highest levels of the justice department. that is where the politics is. one of these agents had its brought it at its core that is is.ore it so it looked remember this if yomru need anymore go back toin mr. smith again, jack smith. back in 2013 his section he ran at the justice department onlyo was looking for ways to prosecute the very people who were targeted by obama's irs, they also asked the irs to giveo them confidential taxpayer information. and the ir ts complied. think about that for the justice department saying we want information we are not supposed to get comic give it to us inhi the irs gave it to them. it seems to me a pattern, it has to change because if it doesn't, we do not have this great

so about all of us is about what makes america america is about the durability of our democracy. for democracies are more than a form of government their way of being way of seen the world. way that defines who we are, what we believe, why we do what we do. democracy is simply that fundamental. we must, in this moment, dig deep within ourselves and recognize that we can't take democracy for granted any longer. with the marcus and the ballot, we have to remember these 1st principles. democracy means the rule of the people. not the rule of monarchs are the moneyed, but the rule of the people. autocracy is the opposite of democracy. it means the rule of 1. 1 person, one enters one ideology, one party, state the obvious, the lives in billions of people from antiquity till now had been shaped by the battle between these competing forces, between the aspirations of many, the green and power, the few between the people's right for self determination the self seeking autocrat between the dreams of a democracy and the appetites of an autocracy. what we're doing now is going to determine w

save america and, most importantly, save america , the democrats say.ty may be exaggerated, so it seems from across the ocean, according to the latest polls , about thirty percent of republicans associate themselves with trump and the party with trump. that is, accordingly, all the rest are well, most likely, fans of anyone, but not trump. well, most likely a kind of plumbing. now he is stepping on his heels. i think it will be very interesting. another very important point, associated with the economic, as a component of the twenty-second year. and again, all this can be tied to the fact, and what do we with what is happening now, er, again, on american soil? the fact is that the economic backbone of the republican party is the so-called real economy. that is, it is really old money tied to the military-industrial complex to real industry to real agriculture, and the democratic party is funded largely because of the so -called digital economy, that is, it-vegans. and those who support the democratic party very actively and this is such money, well, whi

tell us about the technological problems, and they say that america is political, that america is washingtonaid, “is there not going to be an airplane, because they were told by the russians, if there are no airplanes , then there will be no nuclear war, and then there will be an american or ukrainian?” we won't give a plane because if we give it, the russians will drop nuclear bombs and that's why we're playing with china here china is putting pressure on russia russia says we won't drop bombs then let's go without planes well that's a long time diplomatic game, what do you say about this, that all the help from america was inside ukraine? and how do you know that the plane from russia does not play in general with a big mouth? yes, i would say that it was dangerous for the russians, the best to ukraine on earth, more than even airplanes. it's on the hero himself, it will be up to the rockets that are ready to shoot further so that from the second place it will be possible. the attack of the ats will make the night, and the russian artillery and the russian positions . internal and how stro

i think the majority of the conservatives in america are still moved towards the america 1st party, which is the donald trump, a party. they still look up to some of the things he was speaking out, freedom of speech, freedom of the press. and i think a lot of those voters, just like donald trump, who's kind of come to this consensus that we need to end the war in ukraine. i think a lot of their voters are moving away to as well. joe biden. i don't know who really he appeals to at all by storm shock that he got 81000000 votes. don't abide in bumper sticker or a t shirt out there and stuff, but i think the correlation that, that the democrats are hoping, and that's why they have obama back out there, is that they'll kind of relate that by didn't obama magic that that was once captured and hope i really didn't produce anything except a victory, and i think that's what the democrats are hoping for again. yeah, well, you can transfer career. ok. i mean, i didn't like obama. i didn't like his policies, but he was career magic. i mean, you have to give credit where credit is due here dennis, can

after month mothers are still struggling to feed their babies in america. the us mexico border is open and pallets of a baby formula are being shipped to those entering the country illegally. i understand is cruel to let a child start simply because they were brought here by their parents. but arguments are being made saying people come here for a better wife. however, is this a sign that america should keep a borders closed focused on the american citizen who's already suffering? if america keeps allowing everyone to come in, are we going to end up as poor and if food insecure as a nation, they left to discuss america's obsession to save, everyone is actually annihilating it. we bring in a david towel, the founder of approaching capital. thank you so much for joining me, david. thank you, scott. ok, looking at the present state in the past, we've been able to save the world at times. we've been strong enough, but at this exact moment in history is america wearing herself then by trying to say the world should we be putting ourselves 1st and what a little b
