This dude Hagee hide and covered the Haditha massacre evidence. 24 civilians killed including children killed point blank inside a home.
Michael Hagee... happy to learn thanks to the New Yorker that this pig was responsible for hiding pictures of the Haditha Massacre where 23 civilians, mostly kids and as young as 3yrs old were massacred by Marines point blank.... All while he enjoys walking freely, boasting about his war prowess in a museum. USA is country filled with war criminals... most walking freely and never condemned as they were spreading "democracy".... Article just released today "The Haditha Massacre Photos That the Military Didn’t Want the World to See"
Great Video. I know this video is old but can you do a video on how the founders felt about parties and how the electoral college played a part in that?
48:47 And look at us now. Politics is all about money and politics. It’s so sad.
37:56 When you say ballot stuffing doesn’t matter to the electoral college, I don’t understand that. It can change the electors for that area. Rinse and repeat and all of the sudden the majority of the electors goes to the cheating side. Am I missing something or not understanding it correctly?
@34:30 ish. Why would he or anyone else think that ANYKIND of cannonball found near Wharton, Texas would be from the civil war!?! I don’t know of ANY CIVIL WAR battles that were fought anywhere nearby. So EVERYTHING militarily that is found should be assumed to be from the War of Texas Independence
WOW! Thank you guys for this interview, it hit alot closer to home than I would have imagined growing up in East Bernard Tx. I KNOW firsthand exactly how bad the sea of mud can get!
A more serious approach about history would be appreciated. Your back and forth banter was corny and unnecessary. JUST THE FACTS, please.
Good video/history lesson. I'm visiting Valley Forge and (possibly) Brandywine in the same day soon and wanted a refresher on the series of events. I appreciate it.
I don’t think Truman had to think long. After years of war. After a Japanese leadership that refused to surrender. After a group of young men not knowing whether their lives would end should the war continue.
Fun to watch. Thanks.
A great talk with an author. Thank you! Your channel desirbes many more views!
He was definitely a few in already HAHAHA LOVE IT! You guys are keeping the spirit alive as I am transferring to a CSU to get my BA in history and teach
This is a great movie. . Chuck Norris is the one and only...no one can take his place...love him
I never believed Petain was an evil man: in his mind, he was not even a traitor. He was a useful idiot. Laval was an evil man, Darlan was, but Petain? Still, the Good Samaritan won’t be praised for his good intentions alone. As for honour and life, it’s a tragically divisive concept… the way I see it, we’re not just born to think for ourselves: nobody hopes to die, and honour preserved can be at most a consolation in your last breath before everything goes dark… but we are just one generation of the many that came before and the many that will come. We will pass anyway, sooner or later: the thing is, what are we going to leave behind? We are part of societies that stretch along centuries, we can’t just live as if we only had to think for ourselves: that is selfish, and arrogant. By putting your life above all else, you are also saying you’re willing to sacrifice anything below it. If you do, what you’re left with? What else, but your breath? We didn’t come to this world just to breathe…
This is not correct, yet another attempt to rid the traitor Pétain responsible for all official decisions taken between June 17, 1940 and the end of July 1944. Who called Laval in Bordeaux on June 14, 1940? PÉTAIN Petain knew Laval at least from 1931. Petain used Laval to be PM on June 17, 1940 and illegally proclaimed himself Head of State on July 11, 1940
He knowingly betrayed his government in 1940 and his homeland. Petain voluntarily met Hitler and offered to collaborate with Nazi Germany. He did everything he thought in his head Petain was an evil man !
Worst Presidents who were actually against the best US interests were Buchanan, Pierce, Andrew Johnson, Tyler, Wilson & Biden.
When pure unadulterated evil abominations came to America. The biggest bunch of sicko malevolent monsters on the planet at the time.
"Without Petain there would not have been an armistice signed..." Meaning ALSO for a start that nearly all French jews would have been deported and killed just just like in all other Nazi-occupied countries. That did not happen in France most Jews were saved! We are not told a word about that still that has to be the credit of those who orchestrated the armistice.. Petain became a national Hero because he saved French lives during WW1, in June of 1940 he thought it was his role to save French lives once again now that France had been totally defeated and could not count on anyone else ... for a while and possibly a lot more. who could imagine in 1940 that both the Russians and the American would enter the war against Germany and its allies and that Britain would not sue for peace virtually totally intact? The author is dead wrong on one thing: Petain is not remotely a burden in France, all the people who lived the war as adults are long dead. The fact that among the French a very small minority is fiercely pro-Petain and a barely larger minority is fiercely anti-Petain truly suggests that French people turned the page. in 2024 most people do not have much of a clue of what their forebears went through... Most of the French are not interested by history. This author's idea that the French feel shame ever since ww2 for the defeat is a typical British and American fantasy... mingled with a good amount of eternal British francophobia and schadenfreude. Right after the war the French were just angry not against themselves but against those who, in their mind, deserved the blames for the suffering. as last word, What amazes me is this: How a historian who spent a great deal of time writing a book about France during WW2 can be so far off the mark on so many key aspects... i am afraid that historian write books that their targeted audience will like and the distortion of historical reality is always the by-product.
I thought I was gonna learn about at Claire’s defeat. I just watched 3 minutes of BS.

PLEASE stop all the historical lessons of the program and get to the topic! I DO suggest pertaining to the topic that you get yoour head out of the books YOU have read get to what your guest, WHO HAS READ LETTERS, DIARIES, documents, and has done more prep on Nathaniel Greene than what you two have inferred and spoke about.
Having a witness's account from the Mexican side during San Jacinto, Alamo and the Siege of Bexar is actually priceless. The more information gathered from both sides sheds light on these battles as a whole. Cheers! Great details and interview
I think it's funny how basic looking people "count people out" when they get older. I mean, I've seen older men and women who wouldn't touch y'all with a ten foot pole lol What? someone's only relevant if they're 22? Honestly, the delusional attitude of not just the generation of today but, older dudes lacking any sexual allure blows my mind. Ok that rants over. Now, Peter F., no matter his age was serious fire because of his attitude and just being a man! His wives looked average none looked 22 like pale, non muscular, bland men of nowadays seem to think they can pull. I say this being funny but it rings alarmingly true. Everybody needs to stop judging people for their age. As long as someone's energy, zest for life and passion is burning I dont care what their age. Be it young or old. Friend or lover. Energy is what' it's about. 💯🤘🔥
I just started a new job when tower was hit. I was still standing in the same place when both towers fell. I was in such shock
I need to look into this book. I'll never forget 9/11. I was staying at my parents house in Upstate Ny. I had just turned 21. My parents were going to drive me to the airport to move to live with my fiance in AK. He had only been in the AF for two year. My flight was scheduled to leave two days after 9/11. Of course after this happened all the airports were closed for a while. I woak up September 11 at 9am. Turned on the tv couldn't believe what I was seeing! I called my mother at work and asked her if she'd seen the news. I was crying my heart was in my throat. I was two hours away form the city but felt so close. I felt horrible for everyone that was there. I flew out a week later. It was only my second time flying. I asked a question at the air port in Seattle washington. I was nervous and didn't know where my gate was. The woman got mad at me and thought because I was nervous, there was something off about me. I was stranded in Seattle for a night. They took my luggage all I did was asked a question. Everyone was really paranoid after 9/11. You could see fear In everyone's eye's. None of us knew to what to expect next. We felt safe until that horrible day. When I think about 9/11 I always wonder what those terrorists were thinking, the night before they did what they did. Were they scared? Did they have familes of their own? Did they sleep well the night before. Were they scared? I'll never understand how someone could do what they did. I can't imagine the pain and terror those people felt that day. The poor families left to morn. All the kids that had to grow up without parents, Grandparents, Ants and Uncles, Cousins, Friends. It's just horrific. RIP to all of them ❤
I decided after all the waffle at the start that I must be watching the wrong bio
One day we will be united again. One day we will be strong and great as we were before if not better. One day America will overturn the tyrants who wish to destroy her values and standards.
back when AMERICA was a force to be reckoned with
This video was really throwing facts and it's only the second one that I have watched on this history channel. It had a great and insightful interview with Denton, then concluded with some informative details on the catalysts of the Texas Revolution. Forget the Alamo is indeed an awful book and few of the Texas historians that I know take it seriously.
If you’re talking about the remake of Midway, it sux so bad
Very insightful video. One appreciates the research and effort put into making these. Thank you.
JIm Crow was American Slavery 2.0. MAGA is American Slavery 3.0.
Interesting
This is just what I wanted to see. I'd seen a youtube on the Goliade massacre. Then I caught another youtube about San Jacinto. And I realized Houston had only dealt with the part of the Mexican army that was about the size of his own army. And I was wondering, why didn't the other Mexican armies just combine and wipe out Huston once and for all. I didn't think they would simply retreat because a captured general said so. So now I know the answer. The Sea of Mud. Seems to me like the Hand of God saved Texas in the end.
Very interesting history! I’m gonna dig into this. Thanks!
Please send me the background music. My son is will reciting the Declaration of Independence for a 3rd grade talent show.
Also, age of the veteran and their MOS. ie. I was 44 yo and flew Apaches in A-land in the Korengal in 2006. Flying with very new pilots I noticed that they were overwhelmed by the flying part of the missions whereas I was more into the actual mission and the flying part was second nature.
I love digging and studying the after effects of 9/11. But this was so boring!! 🥱
Texicans then, not Texans
The author is a very intelligent man. I learned a lot through this talk. But it cannot be said that britain and france won the second world wa. It can also not be said that france and england wanted a war with germany. The author said nothing about Pierre Laval, who bears the responsibility of the collaborationist aspect of the vichy government. He also says nothing abouthe third Republic failed to secure the peace after the First World War, france who at one time had one of the largest armies in the world not withstand the german army. But this is all Petains fault.
Thanks for saving me a watch (along with the endless nonsense chatter at the start, 6:37 and still talking about Seinfeld or something 👀)
“Nor can we say that France and England wanted a war with Germany.” No, we really can't say that after having as official representatives incompetent people claiming to be pacifists, such as the Frenchman Edouard Daladier and the Englishman Neville Chamberlain. Today we understand who they are! They were the ones who abandoned Czechoslovakia (allied to France) and served slavishly to meet the demands of Nazi Hitler (Munich Accords 1938). And what about 1936, when Hitler illegally remilitarized the Rhineland? France sought support from Britain, with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin cowardly responding that "the Germans are only recovering German lands." While there was a flagrant violation of the treaty signed on October 16, 1925 in Locarno (Switzerland) by the Germans with Italy, England, France, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia
@didierroux1547 Bensch was a very tedious man who tried to bait France and Poland into war. He really made Hitler into a good guy. Chamberlain and Hailifax wanted to renegotiate the post war peace on German terms. But the time to do that was with Stresserman and not with Hitler who was a monster with Wall St backjng
@jamesbretney2973 You're wrong ! Who called and brought Pierre Laval to Bordeaux on June 14, 1940? PÉTAIN! Who established the first discriminatory laws against French Jews of Jewish faith in July 1940 and published on October 3, 1940? PETAIN ! Who insisted on meeting Hitler at Montoire on October 24, 1940? PETAIN !

Mr. Charlie Brown is a fantastic man - giving - wealth of knowledge and experience. If you have a chance to visit Perrin it’s well worth the trip.
“Hear ye, hear ye,” - Here we go again: Mark Boonstra, another Rick Snyder-appointed bizarre extremist and delusional judge from the Michigan Court of Appeals (MCOA) with grandiose aspirations is running to become a Justice at the Michigan Supreme Court (MSC)! For the uninitiated, let me tell you about what happened to Boonstra’s colleague at the MCOA, Judge Brock Swartzle in 2020. Unlike Judge Swartzle who had the name recognition advantage of being a sitting judge, two of his MSC judicial candidate opponents had never held judicial office. And yet, they BOTH not only bested his fourth-place finish, but one former candidate won her election and now sits on the bench at the MSC. To reiterate, Judge Swartzle’s 2020 MSC candidacy was grossly unpopular. Judge Swartzle was shunned by both the discerning voters of Michigan and the former Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, who bypassed his candidacy in favor of running a joint campaign with one of his opponents. Ouch!!!

The faithless electors of 2016 were also banned by the Party from ever serving as electors for the Party again.
Very disappointing to see yet another person giving air to a theory that requires strawmen to argue against, deliberate misrepresentation of the terrain, deliberate mistranslation of sources, deliberate pretence that some sources don't say what they did (plenty of sources say Philippe was stupid for attacking the English position, Villani mentions the English crossing what can only be the Maye and Knighton can only be translated as the English coming to the bridge of Crecy) in order to succeed. It's considered a crackpot theory by serious academics for a reason.
Painful waiting 11 minutes to get started
thank you
Harding did some great things. The worse Presidents are Buchanan, Pierce, Filmore, Biden and Wilson.
Enjoyable presentation. I totally agree that the rankings of presidents is undoubtedly biased. In my opinion, Harding was a good president based on his non- interventionist foreign policy and his economic policies which enabled the USA to recover unbelievably from the 1920-21 depression.
