I don't know what happened, 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: but he didn't break it with me. He wants to 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: make a deal. 52 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: I don't know if you can make a deal. The 53 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy, 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without 55 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: the United States. 56 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: And your people are very brave. 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: But you're either going to make a deal or we're out. 58 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: And if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't 59 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 3: think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: But you don't have the cards. But once we signed 61 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: that deal, you're in a much better position. But you're 62 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 3: not acting at all things and that's not a nice thing. 63 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 3: I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing. 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 4: You got no. 65 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Home, no wind of Fallo, no love. 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 5: So there is some uncertainty with regard to the United 67 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 5: Kingdom and their role in all of this. There is 68 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 5: some conversation that Europe is intending to send troops to 69 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 5: NATO to die in Zelensky's war. Well, we're not going 70 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 5: to die in his war. 71 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what this whole effort. 72 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 5: Has done is made NATO very unpopular because people Americans 73 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: are now understanding that by being involved in NATO, what 74 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 5: we're committing ourselves to is going to war on behalf 75 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 5: of our fellow NATO members. Well, we don't really need 76 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: those folks on our side. If we're attacked. We're not 77 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: waiting on the French in the English to come protect us. 78 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 5: But those folks have gotten themselves in trouble over the 79 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 5: Russia Ukraine War. And remember it was seven years ago 80 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 5: that President Trump lectured the Germans, the U Folks are 81 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 5: buying Russian oil, and you're buying Russian oil, and that's 82 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 5: going to get You're buying Russian oil, but you want 83 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 5: me to protect you from Putin. Well, if you're wondering 84 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 5: what the English position is, take a listen at this. 85 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 5: This is Lord Peter Mandelsson. He is the British Ambassador 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 5: to the United States. This is a very This would 87 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 5: seem to cut against what the British Prime Minister is saying. 88 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 5: He was on mandelssoh, the British Ambassador US was on 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: ABC this week and he said Zelensky must give his 90 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 5: unequivocal backing to the initiative that President Trump is taking 91 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 5: to in the world. In other words, Zelensky is going 92 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 5: to have to do what Trump tells him. I think 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 5: the British are backtracking and realizing, hey, we don't want 94 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 5: to get crossways with Trump over Zelensky. 95 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 7: Listen carefully in the British ambassad United in the State, 96 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 7: Lord Peter Madison. 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 2: Lord Madison, thank you for joining us this morning. 98 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 8: You just started, Secretary of Rubio there your response, My. 99 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 7: Response is that we need a very radical reset, as 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 7: you say in the caption behind you, and the reset 101 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 7: has to consist of the United States and Ukraine getting 102 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 7: back on the same page and President Zelenski giving his 103 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 7: unequivocalt backing to the initiative that President Trump is taking 104 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 7: to end the war and to bring a just and 105 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 7: lasting peace to Ukraine and the Europeans. George too, they 106 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 7: need to back the calls for a cease fire. And 107 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 7: by the way, I think that Ukraine should be the 108 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 7: first to commit to a cease fire and defy the 109 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 7: Russians to follow, and that as part of the unfolding 110 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 7: plan for this negotiation, the Europeans and perhaps some other 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 7: countries too have got to consider how they are going 112 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 7: to put forces on the ground to play their part 113 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 7: in providing enduring security and deterrence for Ukraine. Now, that's 114 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 7: the reset that we are looking for. That's what the 115 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 7: British Prime Minister is working for in his meeting in 116 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 7: London today. 117 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: And beginning progress. 118 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 8: Yet I know the meetings are going on right now, 119 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 8: but you seem to suggest that it's up to the 120 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 8: Ukrainians first to come forward and say yes. 121 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 7: Well, look after what happened on Friday, it's clear that 122 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 7: we need to bring the United States and Ukraine back 123 00:06:54,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 7: together again. And I think the first thing that President 124 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 7: Zelensky can do is to make clear his commitment to 125 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 7: the initiative that President Trump is taking. And yes, I 126 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 7: do think it would be a good idea if you 127 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 7: signed the economic and commercial deal put forward by the 128 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 7: United States. 129 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is. 130 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 7: Quite apart from the economic gain that Ukraine will derive 131 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 7: from that, it will also give the United States a 132 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 7: stake in Ukraine's future. It will mean that US commercial interests, 133 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 7: US individuals, citizens will be on the ground there, and 134 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 7: that will be an even greater added incentive for the 135 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 7: US to protect the Ukraine in future. Make sure that 136 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 7: war does not ensue a gain. That's what I want 137 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 7: to see, That's what we all want to see. It 138 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 7: takes both the United States and Ukraine to come together 139 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 7: and make sure that this whole initiative is given the 140 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 7: best possible likelihood of success. Because George, it is the 141 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 7: only show in town. It's the a negotiation available and 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 7: it's got to be made to work, and that's what 143 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 7: we in Britain are very committed to help bring about. 144 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: You've got them, Michael Berry show. 145 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 5: You know, I find it interesting how many people that 146 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 5: I know have at some point put the Ukrainian flag 147 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 5: as their profile picture on social media, and I wonder 148 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 5: what that means to them. I'm not going to ask, 149 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 5: but what does it mean? Do you know where Ukraine is? 150 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 5: You have any idea of the history of Ukraine. Oh, 151 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 5: Ukraine's like Alamo, Michael. People tell me that Ukraine's like 152 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 5: to Alamo. We got to fight it off. 153 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: That is that what Ukraine is really? 154 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 5: Are you where that Ukraine was long a part of 155 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 5: the Russian Empire and that goes that goes back further 156 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: than you can imagine lifetimes ago. Did you know that 157 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 5: Khrushov was Ukrainian? That didn't mean he was from Ukraine 158 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 5: and went over into Russia. That was the Russian Empire. 159 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 5: Russia has been our most powerful nemesis in the world 160 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 5: for quite some time. However, they are not our greatest 161 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 5: threat today. China is, and it's not even close economically 162 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 5: and militarily. It is also the case that the Russia 163 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 5: Ukraine issue is a European issue, not our issue. 164 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: And yet a number of. 165 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 5: American deep staters have gotten involved in that issue and 166 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 5: put Putin in a position. Not just say Putin's a 167 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 5: nice guy, not to take his side, but if you're 168 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 5: looking at this thing objectively, and the fact that your 169 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: grandmother's from Ukraine, I don't need to hear from you, Okay, 170 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 5: all these people trying to advocate for the country that 171 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 5: they're supposed to be from.

The 222 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 9: question to you is, while we're trying to work on 223 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 9: so many things with the Russians, for instance, with Iran 224 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 9: and in Syria, is this really a good time for 225 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 9: the US to be taking on Russia. 226 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 8: Well, I don't think that we would be taking on Russia. 227 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 8: And by the way, I am very pleased with Secretary 228 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 8: Cary statement, our Deputy Secretary of Victoria Newland who was here.

We are talking about the possibility of sanctions. 234 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 8: If they continue to brutally repress their people, that would 235 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 8: require some action on our part, just because that's what 236 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 8: the United States of America is all about. 237 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 5: Wait a second, we don't want British Labor Party officials 238 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 5: coming to Pennsylvania and campaigning for Kamala Harris, and we 239 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 5: didn't want Zelensky coming to Pennsylvania and campaigning for Kamala Harris, 240 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 5: which he did right before the election. 241 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: And yet we bring our senators to. 242 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 5: Ukraine when they're in the middle of a revolution, and 243 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 5: we announce effectively we're on the side of the protesters.

We 368 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 5: would declare our independence. We don't belong to you anymore. 369 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 5: We are no longer your colony. King George, you can. 370 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: Stick it up your bum. 371 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 5: So they said no, Ain't that easy? So we fought 372 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 5: it out and we won. But that was not to 373 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 5: be the end of their desire to control these colonies. 374 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 5: Almost forty years later there was another war fought in 375 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 5: the same matter, and it came to be known as 376 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 5: the War of eighteen twelve, but it lasted beyond eighteen twelve. 377 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: And so it was in. 378 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 5: September of eighteen fourteen August twenty eighth to be exact, 379 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 5: that a doctor by the name of William Beans. 380 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: He lived in Maryland. The British had burned. 381 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 5: Washington, and what came to be was the burning of 382 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 5: Washington and the raid on Alexandria. They behaved very badly, 383 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 5: as the British were wont to do in those days, 384 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 5: and doctor Beans, according to the British, helped some folks 385 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 5: grab hold of some of the British army stragglers who 386 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 5: were in the process of ransacking homes. They claimed they 387 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 5: were ransacking the homes in search of food. The colonists 388 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 5: claim the American sorry, claim, no, you weren't. You're trying 389 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 5: to do maximum damage. Well, doctor Beans helped hold back 390 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 5: some of these guys detain them since they might be punished. Well, 391 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 5: he fell into the hands of the British, and that 392 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 5: was not a good thing. He had a friend who 393 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: has described as a poet. 394 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: But he was really a lawyer. He was a lawyer 395 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: to pay his bills. 396 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 5: He was a poet in the way that you know 397 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 5: folks have a garage band. But we can call him 398 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 5: a poet, I guess for the purposes of this story. 399 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 5: This is not a Netflix show. This is Michael Berry show. 400 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 5: So Francis scott Key was his friend, and he sent 401 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 5: for Francis scott Key and he would join a mutual 402 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 5: friend of theirs, and he would take a ship across 403 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 5: to talk with the British, have dinner and secure the 404 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 5: release of his buddy. And in the process of heading 405 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 5: back after he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry Our 406 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 5: Fort by the British Royal Navy during what came to 407 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 5: be known as the Battle of Baltimore in the War 408 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 5: of eighteen twelve, he was very, very inspired by a 409 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 5: massive US flag that had been hoisted proud Americans. It 410 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 5: had fifteen stars and fifteen stripes at the time, because 411 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 5: of course we didn't have fifty states. And he wrote 412 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 5: a poem called the Defense or just Defense of Fort McHenry, 413 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 5: and it came to be known in time as the 414 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 5: star Spangled Banner, or it was also known as the 415 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 5: Great Garrison Flag, because it was the garrison flag that 416 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 5: flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the naval 417 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 5: portion of the Battle of Baltimore. It's still on exhibit 418 00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 5: in the National Museum of American History. Well, that that poem, 419 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 5: as it advanced and came to be known over the 420 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 5: years by various names, that song became sort of an 421 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 5: American bit of pride, and that song took on more 422 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 5: and more meaning. Francis Scott Key would give the poem 423 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 5: to his brother in law, the loved by the name 424 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 5: of Joseph Nicholson, and he noticed in reading it that 425 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: the words fit a very popular medley at the time 426 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 5: called the Anacreontic Song. It was by interestingly enough English 427 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 5: composer named John Stafford Smith. 428 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: And this song, the. 429 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 5: Nacre On Tick Song, not an easy word to say, 430 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 5: was the official song of that society, and that was 431 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 5: a gentleman's club of amateur musicians in London. 432 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: So Francis Scott Key's brother in. 433 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 5: Law Nicholson, took the poem to a printer in Baltimore, 434 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 5: and we don't know his name, but he made the 435 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 5: first known broadside. It was called printing on September seventeenth. 436 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 5: There are two of those that remained. A broadside are 437 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 5: also known musicians will call it. A broad sheet is 438 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 5: a single sheet of inexpensive paper printed on one side, 439 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 5: and so it's used to print songs or illustration. 440 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 3: Well. 441 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 5: The song keeps building in popularity throughout the eighteen hundreds 442 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 5: and nineteenth century, especially on Independence Day, and more and 443 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 5: more it came to be known as the Star Spangled Banner, 444 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 5: and in nineteen eighty nine, the US Navy officially adopted it, 445 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 5: and it wasn't until nineteen sixteen, a full hundred and 446 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 5: two years later, that President Woodrow Wilson ordered that the 447 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 5: Star Spangled Banner be played at military occasions and other 448 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 5: appropriate American occasions. The playing of the song two years later, 449 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 5: during the seventh inning stretch of Game one of the 450 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 5: nineteen eighteen World Series, is considered the first time that 451 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 5: it was played at a baseball game, which it came 452 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 5: to be known as something we would do to open 453 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 5: sporting events, and of course that tradition continues on to 454 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 5: this day. And it wasn't until nineteen twenty nine that 455 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 5: John Charles Linscombe, who was a US Congressman from Maryland 456 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 5: at the time, because remember there's a great Maryland story, 457 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 5: this is a Battle of Baltimore. 458 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: From nineteen eighteen to nineteen twenty nine. 459 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 5: He would keep trying to get this song to be 460 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 5: the national song, the song for the whole nation, the 461 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 5: anthem for the whole nation, so the national anthem. And 462 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 5: it wasn't until nineteen thirty one, on this day in 463 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 5: nineteen thirty one, February I sorted March third, nineteen thirty 464 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 5: one that by congressional resolution it became known as our 465 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 5: nation's anthem, our national anthem. Prior to that, it was 466 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 5: Hail Columbia. Until most until the greater part of the 467 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 5: nineteenth century, then there was my country tis of thee, 468 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 5: which is identical to God Save the King. Because again 469 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 5: our original colonists were Englishmen, and so our music was 470 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 5: from the English tradition. There have been arguments made for 471 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 5: America the Beautiful, and of course there is an attempt 472 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 5: to make a separate black national anthem, which is ridiculous. 473 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 5: A nation has an anthem. We don't divide up by 474 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 5: tribes in this country. It's distinctly un America. 475 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: And so there you are. 476 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 5: That is the history of our nation's anthem, the Star 477 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 5: Spangled Banner. Born of war, born of valor, born of 478 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 5: the pen of an imperfect man. How very fitting for 479 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 5: America today. Thanks for listening, my fellow Americans. God bless America. 480 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: Every Elvis has left. Good men, thank you, and good night.
