Yeah except it's in the constitution that at least for African Americans I don't know about for anyone else but you can't do literacy tests because they used to use them to deprive black people of the right to vote. Again, I would have to read the whole contituion again to see if they had anything thing against literacy test at all. But that's just what I learned from my American Goverment class this year in school.
I screamed more at the screen to try to help more than at the Superbowl. Your willingness to do this is big and it was funny. I knew exactly why he said the flag knitter... Susan B Anthony and Betsy Ross both have the letter b and are women. So confusing right.. lol. Love you guys.
Sam Adams was John’s cousin. He also represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence, making him a Founding Father as well. Guys you need to go back to school
Wow, I don’t remember that being said in the movie. I knew the answer but not because of the movie. I just remember that daylight savings time was mentioned and thought that was really neat. I didn’t realize that part of history which is probably why it stuck with me.🤓
unfortunately the lack of education of Americans is very... American. Ever watch the classic 12 Angry Men? It was the guy from Europe that knew the law and what made America a beacon of freedom to the world more than the actual americans... Our ignorance and descent into an idiocracy is engineered by the Globalists.
The kicker is that so many of us did not know these answers before we became homschool teachers. For immigration- we need different questions... maybe some about loyalty to the success of United States?
Can we just give this test to everyone and remove citizenship from those who fail? Something is very wrong with our education system. Bring back civics and actual history classes please.
This is sad. Tbh, I had some difficulty with a couple of the questions, but the bigger concern is that to gain citizenship you only need to answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly?! How does that qualify anyone to be a citizen?! Why don't they teach us things that will help us in the future?! Not just some names.
Most people that went through public school would fail this. I know I almost did. Should have been home schooled glad my daughter wants to homeschool my grandbabies.
When I was answering before listening to their responses, I got Idaho! It’s just that it’s only a small part of Idaho that is touching from a map point of view. (I love your pfp btw)
@@ErikZangron Yes Sir :) Illinois 1982 we has to pass it to graduate. That is GREAT your daughter answered them all like that. Give her a high five for me :)
Actually... my wife and I are BOTH American AND Canadian citizens... sorry to say, we didn't even consider it. Until seeing it listed. So... last! Yikes. I've even been into Alaska a bit (by bus; into the southwest tip from Northern B.C. (that's British Columbia; my home province... haha). Major brain fart. We live in PA now... so, my mind has been "easternized". Am I a Yankee?!! (My parents grew up in Texas. I'm so confused.)
I’m so bummed my husband and I missed you in Mobile. It was our 1st anniversary and I was sick… couldn’t go.😢 Been looking for content from that night and can’t find it
My husband took this test in 1992, at age 31. He already had a U. S. Social Security card, and bought 2 homes, had a job since age 15. When he took the test, he didn’t study, he told the immigration employee that if he failed it was because of his education in the United States 😂😂, since his family moved back to the states when he was 3 😂😂 His parents are from Tennessee and Texas, they lived in Canada when he was born and didn’t register his birth as a U.S. citizen.
My test for getting into America: What is the first amendment? What is the second amendment? What is the fourth amendment? What is the 5th amendment? Why are there 50 stars on the US flag? What do the red stripes represent on the US flag? What do the white stripes represent on the US flag? What year did the United States declare independence? Why is it important for citizens to have firearms? Who was the first president of the United States? What is the supreme law of the land in the US? How many branches of government are there?
Thats strange, i know i subbed over a year ago and when i saw a notification today i was shocked that you've put out so many videos but i never got notifications for so long. Anyone else stop getting notifications??🤔
My mom at age 68, and dad at age 76 passed this test after living in US for 5 years. They spoke or understood English prior to arriving as Christian refugees to USA
I had to hid my "big ole purse" in the bushes outside the theatre tonight in sugarland TX to get in! The only thing that made it too big was the strap for god sakes...but alas we made it inside! Yo..we laughed so hard we peed ourselves! sorry TMI🤣 wanted to include a picture of me with the offending postage stamp size purse but no way to do that.
Betsy Ross was Responsible for working her fingers to the bone sewing the first version of the US flag in her tiny Philly house (def. go visit) but it was Polish General Tadeusz (Thaddeus) Kościuszko (koh-shh-choo-shhh-koh) who was responsible for helping the US beat the British in the Revolutionary war and was chosen to design the American flag which is based off of Coat of arms of the Sandomierz Voivodeship, in Poland- (go visit there too!)
Yo! This test for US citizenship has declined BIG TIME ~ when I lived in TX in the late 90's , worked w/a gal that showed me the test: HUGE pamphlet w/50 questions on it. I couldn't answer even 10 correct ~ never was a history buff, just born in the USA... PLUS she told me she had to pay over 1 grand on top of passing the test to become a USA citizen. Not sure what's going on these days...
For some reason, I thought it would be multiple-choice. The question about the bifocals definitely should be multiple-choice! LOL For some reason this reminds me, are you smarter than a fifth grader.
Let me just say, you guys are lucky, you were born in the US of A 🤣🤣 I took the citizenship 32 years after immigrating as a kid, passed it with no problem.
The Cold War was about a potential nuclear war. Russia had nukes and we did, too. Because we both had them, neither of us wanted to use them because the other would attack right back. I grew up in Huntsville which was #3 on the list if something were to happen. There were fallout shelters throughout the city.
No, the test key is correct. Nukes were weapons in the arsenal of the cold war, but the cold war was not ABOUT nukes. It was about the spread of communism. Starting during WWI in Russia, communists vowed to spread revolution throughout the world until the entire globe was united in communism. The other powers opposed this, and after WWII only two global powers remained: the USA and USSR. The USA assumed the role of containing communism everywhere around globe since no one else could do it. That's why the US has so many military bases around the world. What made the cold war cold and prevented the two powers from colliding directly was the threat of mutually assured destruction by nukes. But what was being fought over was ideology.
You should have to pass a test like this to vote and run for office.
Yeah except it's in the constitution that at least for African Americans I don't know about for anyone else but you can't do literacy tests because they used to use them to deprive black people of the right to vote.

Dang John cmon. You were homeschooled! I was expecting 100% 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Question 1. Who’s in charge of the executive branch?
I wish I knew.
Ok, THAT is funny.

Way to go, John. You made me feel like a genius.
Come on, John! Tell me you know who the president was during the Civil War. It wasn’t Roosevelt. 😂
They asked during WW1.
@@pamelaarras7908yes, but he also didn't know Abraham Lincoln was civil war
That was hard to hear😮😮😮 ouch!!!!
Seriously. He should be ashamed.
Sam Adams was John’s cousin. He also represented Massachusetts in the Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence, making him a Founding Father as well.
Guys you need to go back to school
And the last question was answered in the movie National Treasure 😂😂
Right!!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Wow, I don’t remember that being said in the movie. I knew the answer but not because of the movie. I just remember that daylight savings time was mentioned and thought that was really neat. I didn’t realize that part of history which is probably why it stuck with me.🤓
This was painful, but hilarious

You can have John's 😅
Homeschooling parents everywhere can answer these in their sleep.........😂 But....gotta ask. Did John not notice the 76 on the other guy's shirt?? 🤣
The kicker is that so many of us did not know these answers before we became homschool teachers. For immigration- we need different questions... maybe some about loyalty to the success of United States?
Oh my gosh guys! 🤦🏻♀️
Rosie Riveter?! 🤣
I had Woodrow Wilson rolling in my head and couldn’t think of anyone else, but I was so hesitant I thought for sure I would be wrong. 😄
I had thought that too. I knew it wasn't Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson World War One makes that one easy to remember!!
I am 6 minutes in and feel dumber than when I hit play😆
Can we just give this test to everyone and remove citizenship from those who fail? Something is very wrong with our education system. Bring back civics and actual history classes please.
We learned this in history.
It was/is taught. Whether or not it is is retained is another matter…
Yup vote Vivek and this will happen
The 14th Amendment says no
Yes an deport is to Australia!!!
This is sad. Tbh, I had some difficulty with a couple of the questions, but the bigger concern is that to gain citizenship you only need to answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly?! How does that qualify anyone to be a citizen?! Why don't they teach us things that will help us in the future?! Not just some names.
I’ve never been more proud of myself for getting every one of these right. Is there such thing as a Super Citizen for those that got 100% on this?! 🙏
Good job, good job!!
I sat here wandering if John was playing the comedian while blurting out these answers!!!!!!!! I wanted to bury my head in my hands…come on man!
I guarantee if those are the types of questions that they want to give immigrants to become US Citizens 3/4 of Americans would fail!!❤❤😂
Joe Biden would fail.
Y'all are killing me! I was relieved to know that I would pass the test though.
NOT tapping you guys for the history section of Trivial Pursuit. 😂
Best history lesson is a long while 🤣thanks guys
Took the citizenship test when I was 12 and literally forgot I took it until I started watching this. Just started 😂😂should be interesting
Shocking that men don’t know who Susan B Anthony is…..😞
Who cares? Shes dead
@@lisawesome7588because it's apart of American history

I forgot he was homeschooled 😂😂
It didn't make him 'gooder'. 😂
Are these guys serious?…….?…….theyre embarrassing
No. Making them look good because he is so IGNORANT.
Most people that went through public school would fail this. I know I almost did. Should have been home schooled glad my daughter wants to homeschool my grandbabies.
Don't think anyone is taking this test anymore. Just walk across the border now..
😢
Sad but true. Hopefully not for long.✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼🫵🏼🫵🏼🫵🏼
Your answers to this quiz are stressing me out so much!
Tell me you failed high school without telling me you failed high school
Totally unrelated.
I had to stop watching this out of frustration. Our schools have utterly failed us. Shameful.
Rosie the Riveter was a real person..😂😂😂😂😂
8:02 the way John just completely skipped Idaho 😭

@@The1stPurpleCat yeah it's true, the border is quite small. thanks btw!
He also skipped Alaska
Every kid should have to pass this test to get out of 8th grade!
Do they still require eighth graders to past The Constitution before they graduate?

Did no one think of Alaska first? 😂😂
I did!
I did!! I lived in Alaska and it was the first state that came to mind 😂
I did, but only because John made the Palin joke.

I only knew the last question because of National Treasure
Well I’m glad someone is taking the test. We all know the millions running across the border aren’t….
Challenging and hilarious! Its been alot of minutes since I studied history, and I would have to dig deep tocome up with the right answers! ❤
I teach a class to people who are applying for Citizenship. Very rewarding.
“Screws on an airplane” 😂😂😂
Roosevelt was the heroic leader of the Civil War 🤣🤣🤣
