at that time the united states was king of oil. we produced more oil, we exported more oil, we used more oil than any other nation in the world. m. king hub bard predicted to that audience that in just 14 years the united states would reach its maximum oil production, that would be in 1970. and then we would produce less and less each year after that. remember the context, united states in 1956 is the largest oil producer in the world, the largest oil exporter in the world, the largest oil user in the world. this was an absolutely preposterous prediction and so m.k. hubbered was relegated to the lunatic fringe. just a year later, about a year later, the father of our nuclear submarine gave a speech in 1957, may 15, i believe, in st. paul, minnesota. to a group of physicians. the audience is irrelevant. you can google and get this speech, it was found a few years ago and it's now on the internet, if you google for rick over the -- overt, energy speesm, it will come up. the speech had nothing to do with the audience he was talking to

units. the most dramatic one is in kings mountain on the north carolina/south carolina border where there are about 900 rebels who have been rounded up to fight a torrey unit called the american legion which is commanded by a british officer named ferguson. eventually, a battle takes place. there are a thousand tories and 900 rebels, and when the battle is over, the rebels win, and it's vicious. they, they will not honor the flag of surrender, they start hanging people. and nobody on that field was anything but an american except for one british officer. and it's kind of, to me, symbolic of the fact that you can't really talk about americans when you're writing in this war. you've got to call them something because they were all americans. yeah. >> you mentioned the carolinas. was the character of the rebellion different there, more bloodthirsty? i mean, i remember reading about the regulator movement and is so on. -- and so on. >> yeah. what the british really expected strategically was that if they could take the south, they could stop the revolution, it would just -- essentially, all of th

king kamehameha. >> he was the one that united all of the hawaiian islands.ut written language, without a common language, he was actually able to combine all those islands into one territory. >> reporter: years earlier, kamehameha had befriended british explorers under the command of captain cook. that friendship had an important influence on the design of the hawaiian flag. kamehameha incorporated the british flag in the upper left-hand corner, or canton, of the hawaiian flag. he also included eight red, white, and blue stripes. they represent hawaii's eight major islands. in 1894, americans with powerful interests in hawaii's sugar and pineapple industries overturned the monarchy. they declared hawaii a republic. following the attacks on pearl harbor in 1941, public sentiment among hawaiians grew in favor of statehood. in 1959, hawaii became our fiftieth state, but its flag has never changed. today, hawaii remains the only state to feature a british flag from times gone by. for flag facts, i'm kristen. >> that wraps up our show, but we'll be back with more

putin told larry king in essence the united states should mind its own business. and the u.s.may now be doing just that. the justice department is looking into what laws may have been broken in obtaining, transporting and publishing all these classified papers. >> well, i encourage -- >> reporter: a ssange could be charged with possessing stolen meryl up to espionage. according to tom fuentes who directed international operations for the fbi and is now a cnn contributor. >> someone accessed classified data bases or basically confidential systems and, therefore, those communications are property of the u.s. government. and someone stole those from the u.s. government and then provided them to wikileaks. >> reporter: a u.s. army private has been charged with an earlier leak of classified video to wikileaks. assange has appeared only once since this latest document release. for an interview with "time" magazine over skype. why skype? experts say it's heavily encrypted and even the best intelligence can't crack it. and asawn nlg is savvy like that. he routinely changes cell phones

king. he said julian assange and associates who support wikileaks damaged united states national security with their releases of the classified documents but also placed at risk lives of those in our intelligence sources. wikileaks presents a clear and present cange to the national security of the united states and julian assange should be prosecuted under the espionage act and this legislation will give the attorney general additional tools to do just that. what if we don't expand the government power? we are what he's demonstrating with the leaksed documents, you cannot trust the government . so to stop him from exposing a government you cannot trust, you want to give that government more power? have we all gone insane? they will not call this law retroactive, but this law seems to be created to target one individual which i don't think is even constitutional and i don't know how you make a law to punish something that has order happened. they are going after him for somebody he already did or are they hoping he does it again. bring this from walmart. you stand at line in walmart and you wil

what that was was really in legal terms they indicted the king of england for crimes against the united states. and their remedy, the punishment for the king and for england was, to separate. and they concluded their declaration of independence, that important document that later led to the constitution, with this phrase, and in support of this declaration with a firm relines on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. and then they had to fight for what they believed in. seven, eight years of long war to get this country free. then it was the war of 1812, the spanish american war. the war with mexico. world war i, world war ii, korea, vietnam, and we are still engaged in two great wars today. in all of those wars, mr. speaker, it has been america's youth that went to war to protect the rest of us. and unlike other countries, it's been said that america goes to war not to conquer but to liberate. that is true. and we got troops fighting right now not to conquer but to liberate. america goes to battle so that oth
