Hey y'all! We just got into like a wonderful debate. Yeah. This is going to be our 4th of July episode. Happy birthday America. Happy birthday to you. You're 20, 24 years old. No. Haven't you seen those memes? No. America is 20, 24 years old. Oh boy. And people are like, wow, these people vote. Yeah, I feel like we've, people have just gotten dumber as time's gone. Ooh, okay, so this is what I'll do. Okay. So, Kalissa and Nicholas, we're talking about Hamilton. Again, the musical. Yeah, and Nick won't watch it. Because it's dumb, just FYI. Sarah, you can't say that if you didn't watch it. I did watch it. It was boring. And I didn't think the music was that good, just so everyone knows. Okay, so we were looking up a supposedly attractive president. Mm hmm. I'm just gonna say JFK. Easy. Disagree. JFK, yes. I disagree. I actually think it could be Clinton or my original statement. Bill Clinton? I mean, he obviously had to have some charm to him. No, even when he was younger, I still didn't think so. My number one is actually Franklin Pierce. This picture that I'm looking at a Franklin Pierce. Oh, we got to remember to put these in though. I won't remember. I'll take a screenshot quick of Franklin Pierce. Fun fact. I don't think he's ugly. This, I mean, I don't know. I could get down. If you look up Samuel Huntington in 1853, That is my, like, fourth removed great uncle, and he signed the Declaration of Independence. Ooh. And he was actually the first president of the Continental Congress. I'm gonna biff that. That's right, Continental Congress. That's what it's called. He's, like, the original founding father before George Washington was the founding father. Really? And I am related to him. Fascinating. I also didn't think Obama was ugly. Just FYI. America's first president. Samuel Huntington, first president of the United States. He was the president before the first president of the United States. And he's your fourth uncle? Is that what you said? Fourth. Great uncle twice removed, something like that. Wow. But there is lineage there. Did you do like ancestry, DNA or? Yes. Um, and my aunt. Great. My aunt is into a lot of ancestry. Hmm. Huntington was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and a respected member of Congress who was rewarded in 1779 when he was elected a president. A position held from 1779 to 1781. He retired from Congress in 1781 due to ill health. Why is he considered the first president? The first section of the Articles of Confederation contains the first reference to our nation as the United States. Some historians argue that this makes Samuel Huntington the first president of the United States. Because why? Because he wrote it? Because Because he was the, he was like the first leader of the Congress before there was like actual Oh, I see, before there was a presidential seat. Yes, yes. Fascinating. Fascinating stuff. And that's why I'm so politically smart. Obviously, because your fourth grade uncle twice removed a million times. Aside from the Declaration of Independence. Seriously. It was the president of the Congress. So I am super grateful that I was adopted at 18 months because I didn't have to do the citizenship test. Oh, what's the cutoff for that? I don't know. That's a good question. Yeah, that is. What do you mean? Like how old? Oh, is it under 18 that you have to, or is it like, Oh, you can't be legally adopted. Well, you can't, I shouldn't say that, but you don't have like the same benefits as if you're legally adopted over 18. Is that correct? That I don't know. We are, we are already starting out this episode with so many unknown questions. Uh, but I wanted to do like a fun thing. Like how well do you know? Um, The presidents? No, the citizenship test. Oh. Oh my gosh, that's a good one. Oh man, that's a good one. That's a great one. While Hannah looks that up, let's talk about, like, fireworks or something. Well, I was supposed to have a big 4th of July party. Oh yeah. I'm so bummed. Womp womp. Because it's gonna storm, like, all afternoon tomorrow, which is right when the party was supposed to be. I was gonna get a bouncy house. We're gonna grill out. I'm always so jealous when other people have such big 4th of July parties I'm like, I'm never invited to one. So I'm just gonna host one. No, I'm not jealous about the parties I just see people on the boats Yeah, I do not want a boat I would love to be on a boat. I don't think I want a boat. It was so close to getting Nick a pontoon. I was like talking him into it and he's like, yeah, you think it's just buying a boat, but you're not dealing with the insurance, where to store it, how to take care of it, and I'm like, you're making it not fun. Do you know what boat stands for? What? Booty? Bust out another thousand. What? Because they're just money suckers. Wait, is that spelled right? B O A T Bust out another B Oh my gosh. Bout. Let's all go in the bout. That's very, um, like Canadian or something. Yeah. I don't know what that was. That's funny. Oh, Hannah. I should have played the Karen on Mean Girls. Yeah. Oh, sheesh. Well, that girl was really pretty. Mm hmm. She was, yeah. Amanda Seyfried? I agree. No, no, no, no. No, in the musical. In the terrible one. In the terrible one. The only Mean Girls that I'll recognize is the one with Amanda Seyfried. Yes. The iconic one. Yeah. Yeah. The one that everyone quotes. Did you finish watching The Dropout? Not yet. Mmm. Mmm. It kind of fell off. I've just been watching Bob's. Oh, God. It's a slow start for sure. It's a slow start. I hyped it up so much for you guys. I do want to finish it. I So if you just, like, have so many of things to read, music to listen to, not enough. And like, every time the kids want like, ask me like, Hey, can we watch? But I'm like, yeah, that's fine. Let's do that instead of whatever I was going. Yeah, funny. Anyways, I hate fireworks. They suck. They scare you. Do they startle you? You just don't like them. All of the above. They're like, I think they're pointless also. I feel like it's a waste of money. I think it's repetitiveness. He's just not a fan of. Yeah. It's like, how many times can I watch the same firework go off in like different colors before? I'm like, yeah, this is boring. You should give your mindset a different mindset. I can't give your mindset a different mindset. Like what? Like, wow, this is really cool. Like, wow. I'm giving my children a beautiful memory of us looking up at the sky. Okay. But every time that we've taken them to the fireworks, they've fallen asleep. Okay. Really? They also don't care. That's awesome. Oh my gosh. So like if I don't care, if they don't care, I don't care. And I don't care. They just, I don't care. It's loud. Fair enough. Sensitive baby ears. It's just every time I watch my works, I think of my childhood. My mom would make popcorn and we would sit on a blanket and you lived by New Hampton. So they did. Did you see the New Hampton fireworks? Yeah. We always went to the New Hampton fireworks every year. So, yep. Yep. My family used to do fireworks out in the country where my grandma lived and that I have good memories of because it was my cousins setting off fireworks and so I was watching them be like goofballs, like, you know, running around and trying to like not get hit and like crazy stuff like that, but that wasn't like the fireworks was fun. I was like, no, I was just like the people made it fun. Yeah. Yeah. So my very favorite 4th of July memory, I can remember it so well. I can still hear my mom's voice. I had a sparkler. I had to have been like three. It's probably one of my earliest childhood memories and I'm just dancing with this sparkler. And my mom goes, Dance, peanut dance. And I felt like the most graceful, beautiful figure skater in the whole world. Cause I had this sparkler and I was dancing and all was well. So I got sparklers this year. So I love that for you. That's really sweet. It's my favorite 4th of July. My father in law got poppers for the kids a couple of years ago when Gus was little. Is that when you throw one on the ground? Yeah. Gus liked that. Yeah. What about you? Favorite 4th of July memory? Oh, just, uh, my mom making popcorn and then, like, my dad was always just into our enthusiasm. Like, look at the grand finale! Like, look! He was never, like, shocked. Hyping it up, yeah. He was experiencing his childhood through you again. I suppose, yeah. I think that's really nice. That's awesome. But he never was like, shh, just watch it, just shh. Yeah. I'd be like, look at the willow! Oh, I love the willows. Yes. This is getting me excited. I think we're going to go on Saturday too. Um, there's a very popular one right by our house. That's nice. Oh, yes. Spillville, Iowa. I always hear like the best things about them. They do. And they have big fireballs. If you sit close enough, it's like Heat on your face. And yeah, it's good stuff. It's already so hot. Why would you want more hot? I'm not a fun hater. I'm just like, I'm very specific types of fun. She's like, it's not fun. All right. Hannah, do you have the questions? Yes, I found them. All right. I am ready to rock this. I actually really enjoy history, so we'll see if. All right. All right. All right. Any good at this. What is a supreme law of the land? A supreme law of the land. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Is it asking for a specific law or is it asking for like, what is it? No, what is the supreme law of the land? Declaration of independence type of thing. Like we're talking about the, what's it called? We the people. No. Well, yeah, it'd be like the, um, I think I've said it a ton. What does that call? Pledge allegiance. No, that's a pledge. You ding, ding. Well, it's got to be written in there. If it's the most Supreme law of the land, love thy neighbor as herself. No, because it's not a specific law. It's saying what is the document that is the highest law of the land? Okay. And it's the, I'm going to do a countdown because I feel like I can't remember what it is. Fine. I'm just thinking of declaration of independence. It's not the amendments. Yes. What are they amending? That's part of it. Yeah. I can't remember I can't remember what it's called. One, the constitution. Yes. Which like, am I the stupidest person that's ever lived that we couldn't think of that? But yeah, the constitution. It was what I was thinking. Yes. I would not have gotten that. Um, clearly we didn't either. What does the constitution do? Um, sets out the, like it make, it's like you have the, the Possibility of life, liberty, happiness. So it gives us our basic human fundamental rights. Okay, protects basic rights of Americans. That's one. Two more. Oh, there's multiple? There's three. So what does it do? Yes. Okay. Um, so it has the amendments in it, like we said. So that would be, those are specific laws. Should I have Nicholas do this? I wonder if he knows. Oh my gosh, I'm sure. Yeah, I don't know. We're trying to do a, we're trying to do a fat electrician episode here really technically with all this history and government and we just need to throw in a couple communism things and we'll be Karl Marx, yay! We're pretty much the same. I don't know what would be after that. I feel like I'm not sure what they're asking for specifically. Sets up the government and defines the government. That makes sense. Sure, sure, sure. I feel like maybe we should pass the file. I think if I could study this topic. So try not to scroll down. Yeah, three. I think if I could study this topic I would do quite well. I already said this in this episode. Okay, great. The idea of self government is in the first three words of the constitution. What are these words? We the people. Yeah. Is that the Bill of Rights? Yeah, I think so actually. Uh, I think it is. The constitution. No, that's the Bill of Rights, isn't it? I think it's the declaration of independence is also starts with we, the people. Oh, maybe I don't know if that's true. That's they're, they're the really big letters. We, the people would be all right. Haven't you seen national treasure? Oh my gosh. We were just talking about this the other day at church. We were having a contest. It's almost exactly like that. We kind of started conspiracy theories for sure. A hundred percent. Um, we already kind of covered this too. What is an amendment? What is an amendment? It's like, um, further clarification. You good, Hannah? I was going to say people play some things. It's a noun. I'm terrible. Oh boy. Oh, this is bad. This is bad. We should have filmed this episode. These, we have so many moments that would have gone viral. Look at these three idiots. So Nick will listen to it and then do a reaction video. Oh, that'd be actually really hilarious. That would be so great. Okay. What do you think? Okay. You got it. So it's a change to the constitution or an addition to the constitution. Hmm. I've gotten that. Okay. What do we call, what do we call the first 10 amendments to the constitution? I just said this. You just said this. The Bill of Rights. Yes. Good job, Hannah. I was not paying attention. I got, I would've been like, I don't know the amendments, the amendments are the Bible you want a hundred percent can get this one. Okay. What is one right or freedom from the first amendment? This is very simple. The right to bear arms. No, from the first amendment. I think that's the second, that's an amendment. That's the second, the first amendment. My God. You can do this. I know you can. It's this is like the most important. I okay. Arguably the most important one. What are we doing right now? Podcasting speech. Yes. Religion assembly, the freedom to podcast the government. Do one more? Yeah. Okay. How many amendments does the constitution have? You're not going to get this one for sure. 10 way low five, way too low. Okay. Wait, Oh, way too high, way too high, 25, way close. So, so 26, 27. That was really good. That was very close. Dang. Nice. We got a lot to go back on. Wow. Number eight. It's like a lot has changed in the past 300 years or something. History teacher, please don't be listening to these. Which one were you on? Number eight. What did the declaration of independence do? That's easy. Declared freedom and independence from Great Britain. I only know that because of Hamilton. Great Britain. Is that, is that British? I don't even know. Great Britain. Great Britain. Tea and crumpets. Nice. Boston tea party. I don't know. Okay. Um, yeah. So that the United States is free from Great Britain. Yeah. Uh, what are two rights in the Declaration of Independence? What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence? Better question, what are two wrongs? I feel like this is a song. This is a song? Oh, have you guys not heard of, uh, It's a banger. Of a song. I don't know what song you're talking about. You'll have to tell us about it after. Yes, show. And Aaron Carter saying that the intro love Aaron Carter. Yeah. I'm just not going to get this one. I don't even have a guess. And if I do that, which is literally what I said before, right? Isn't that what I said? Life, Liberty, pursuit of happiness is what I said when it was, when we were talking about the first, the constitution, maybe. Okay. I feel like I kind of got that right. Cause I already said that a long time ago. Aaron Carter, right? Yeah. What's his name? Okay. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Oh, I've heard this. Oh! Liberty Kids. Oh my gosh, I loved this show. This is Aaron Carter singing? Yeah. He was really good. There's the PBS kid and Hannah just, just rocking out. Break it down, girl. That is not so good. It is really good. So good. Aaron Carter, he was fantastic. That's a really long theme song. Number nine. Number nine. Are we going to get, um, like trashed for using that song? No, nobody listens to this podcast. So just when we get really famous, we need to worry about it. Well, we were talking in between, so if it's like a full clean version. Cool. What is the economic system in the United States? You're not going to get this one. The economic system? What does that, what do you mean by that? Wall Street? No, that would be like, we are capitalist, right? Yep. Oh, wow. A capitalist economy and a? Yeah. You're not going to get it. Free market. Oh my God, Sarah. Who are you? I told you that I took school. I took school. I did not. I took econ. Wow. And I took government and I took a lot of history classes. Actually. I really enjoy history. Gossiping. I was good at school for, except for math. I wasn't good at math. Do you know what happened at my government class? What? Something really good. I screwed off so much, like I did not show up. Oh, that's terrible. Into class. Most of the days I would skip class, I would go hang out in study hall, and one day I actually decided to go and I walked into the class and everyone was taking a te, like 10 minutes late, no pass, nothing like that. Walked into class, everyone was taking a test and I walked up to Mr. Higins and I said. I didn't know we were having a test today, so I'm not going to take the test. And he said, okay. And I turned and I walked out of the classroom. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Yeah. And that's just, yeah. And I didn't take the test that day. I made it up. Yeah. So that is how I learned the U S government and we used to skip sometimes to have an extra long lunch. And so every once in a while he would not count as absent, which was kind of nice. You probably didn't give a fuck. Yeah, maybe not. But he also, we were like pretty good kids. So maybe it was just, well, that's the thing. And most other classes, I was a pretty decent student. I had, I was taking a lot of college classes, like. I don't know why, I think he just like, I don't know why he let me do that. I have a feeling, like, was he really old and he was just kind of like, no, no, no idea of him. Yeah. I don't know. I never skipped. Oh, you should have. It was good. Okay. This is currently in question right now. Okay. What is the rule of law? The rule of law. They're kind of talking about this in the medium right media right now. I'm just going to give it to you. Everyone must follow the law, leaders must obey the law, government must obey the law, and no one is above the law. Have you guys heard about that in the media? I'm going to totally botch it, so I'm not going to say anything, there's something that could pass through that the president would like not be above would be above the law. Oh, that's fascinating. And would not would be immune essentially. Well, there is already something. I feel like that I was just hearing this the other day that supposedly like you can be a, um, What's that called? When you're a federal prisoner, um, you can be the president. Yeah. So, and that's not the case for a lot of other, um, like careers. Yeah. I mean, you can't be a felon and be a nurse. Yeah. Felon. That's what it is. Yeah. Okay. Name one branch or part of the government. You'll, you can totally do this. Oh, the branch. Yep. Judicial. Mm hmm. Executive. It's gonna be my next one. Uh, the other one's really long. It's not long, but uh, Court. State. Judicial is court. As far as I remember. That's judges. Yes. Executive would be like the president. Executive. The money one, what's the money one? No, I don't think, is it? Starts with an L. Oh. Liberals. Legislative. Yes, correct. They also listed Congress, President, and the courts, but I feel like those are just descriptions of What those basically are. I know you didn't really, you know, I always wanted to know the three branches of government, because that's like the first thing people ask when they interview people, like, how many branches of government do we have? And they're like a hundred. Okay. I think you're going to, you guys are going to be able to get this one. Okay. What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful? Checks and balances. Yes. We've talked about that actually before in a different context. Yes. Um, okay. Who is in charge of the executive branch? You should know this. The president. Yes. Good job. I was gonna say the Supreme Court. They are the judicial. Legislative. Oh, sure, sure, sure. Legislative is Congress. What are we? 16. What about the Senate? Who's the Senate? Um, I don't think that they're technically part of that because Senate is state and this is federal government. Oh. See? So it's different. Like there are two parts. Who knows really for sure? Like Congress and Senate work together. They're kind of like, I feel like two sides of one coin kind of thing, but it's, they're separate because one's federal and one's state level. It's the aliens. Could be. Sixteen? Yeah. Who makes federal laws? The Federalists. That would be the, the Congress. Congress. Yep. Or I think the president technically can, but they have to be approved by Congress. Yeah, so, Congress, that's where, like, I feel like everything runs through Congress. Because it has to be approved, actually, sometimes I think the Senate also has to approve things depending on what happens, but usually they call for a vote within Congress. That's where it's always filmed, it's always like, who's that one lady? Oh, the old lady? Yeah. That everybody hates? Nancy. Pelosi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would say good morning, but this is not that. I don't know what that means. Have you ever heard that quote? No. Oh, yes, I would say good morning, but it's not a good day. But it's not a good morning. But it's not. Oh, okay. She's so dramatic. Nancy Pelosi. I just don't like her face even. She just seems like she's a million years old and she doesn't, There's no point in saying good morning because it certainly is not one Okay, and then two more, okay Senate and oh, sorry. Oh, oh house of representatives. Is that what you're gonna say? Yeah Senate and House of Representatives and then US or national legislator. Okay I feel like that wasn't really a multiple choice so much as it was like you could say any of those and probably I'll count it. I guess. What are the two parts of the U S Congress? You just said that. Oh, the House. Yeah. Okay. Senate and the House. Yeah. Okay. So 17, 18. Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How many U S senators are there? That just makes me backtrack to what I said. I think 52 right? Isn't there one for each? Wait, would you say Senator? That's not true then. How, um, the Congress is one of each state, right? You Senator would be two of each state, depending on size of the state. So it could be one for each state. So there's 50, I think technically we have 52, including our like areas of like our don't areas. Okay. I'm gonna say 10. So 52 then a hundred. Dang it. I was gonna dang say two per, that's why I was like, don't overthink it. Don't overthink it. But I thought it was dependent on, um, the size of the state. Like I thought it was dependent, but maybe that's, um, the other. Maybe that's the other one. That's the electoral college. Isn't it? Oh, I don't remember. I don't actually know much about voting, so I don't know. Yeah. Okay. We elected us senator for how many years? Um, I don't believe. Oh, did you know that? What's the one that doesn't have a time limit? What's the one that doesn't have the time limit? Doesn't the other one not exist? The limit does not exist. Isn't that Nancy Pelosi's job? Yeah. Yeah. Right. Isn't it, isn't it house of representatives, right? Or something that doesn't have a time limit, a year limit. Cause I feel like secretary. No, that's a presidential. Yeah. That's a president. That's like a cabinet. I feel like she's never, like no one's remember. People are going to be laughing at us. Whoever is like, knows a lot of stuff. Who is one of your state's U. S. Senators now? You know this, I think. Ashley Hinson. Is that, is that correct? I don't know. Oh. I just see her name a lot. Do they want a name? It just says to look it up. Oh. So then, yeah. I thought our, um, Senator was, um, Jodi, Jodi, Jodi. Yeah. Who's intrude? Not Jody, but it is a J name. It's Jody E. Jody Ernst. Ashley Hinson is a United States representative. Joni Ernst, I believe is our, right? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Joni. Is that one guy still in it? I can't think of it. Yep. United States Senator Joni Ernst. But yeah, there was another one, right? Wasn't it that older man? Uh, green or something. Pop quiz. Guess how old Joni Ernst is. 65. No, she's 58. She's 54. She's young. She is. I think it's the gray hair that throws you off. Yeah, for sure. A hundred percent. Um, okay. 21. Sorry, Joni. The house of representatives has how many voting members? You're not going to get this. 578. Wow. You were so close. Well, okay. Not that close. Kind of close. Dang. How many? 435. Oh, okay. We elect a U S representative for how many years? Okay. Four. Close. Six. Opposite way too. Yep. Yeah, that's not very long. You got to prove yourself. The next one is to name a U. S. representative, but I don't feel like we need to do that one. Oh, uh, I just did Ashley Hinson. So let's do 24. Uh, which I wouldn't have known that for sure. Who does a U. S. Senator represent? The people of the state. We the people. There you go. Was that right? Yeah. All the people of the state. Um, we elect a president for how many years? Fall. Mm hmm. Four long years. In what month do we vote for the president? November. Okay, so that was 27, so. All right. What does the president cabinet, president's cabinet do? They're support people, so they advisory, it's like an advisory committee. They advise the president. Yep. Okay, what are two cabinet level positions? Oh, we just said secretary of state. Mm hmm. I think, doesn't the vice president count as that? As cabinet? Yep. Um, and then there's secretary of press. Treasurer or state. Treasury or State. Sir, would you like me to run the Treasury or the State Department? Okay. Treasury. Is that from your show? Is that from Scandal or something? No, this is from Hamilton. Oh. Alexander. I just remember that one song where it's the two sisters singing. We'll never be satisfied. God, I hope you're satisfied. Okay. Okay, Secretary of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Pete Buttigieg. Oh, is he in that? He's the Secretary of Transportation. Did they say Education too? Yes. Yep. Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Attorney General, and the Vice President. Mm-Hmm. Nice. Hmm. All right. That's in the cabinet. I just scrolled through. Grabbed one. Oh, is that 36? Yeah. Yeah. We're just, oh, okay. You're making our own rules. You're totally gonna know this. What does the judicial branch do? Judicial things, judges, people like what I mean? Yes. We'd be good at that. I would say that's, I would count that I don't like you. I would say that goes with resolves disputes. What in the state, um, or the whole United States just resolves disputes. It depends because there are state levels versus federal in the meetings level when Nancy rips the paper. No, definitely not like that. She'd have to be committed and she'd have to like, you know, commit a crime and be charged with a crime. The other ones was reviews, laws, explains, laws, decides if a law goes against the constitution, which I think is probably one of the bigger ones. Yes. I would say. Oh, you're gonna know this. What is the highest court in the United States? U. S. Supreme. Supreme. Good job, good job. Also, what is the best pizza? Supreme. Oh, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure. No green pepper. No mushrooms for me. Wait, sauerkraut. No, a lot of mushroom. No, what? No, no, Kalissa. What's wrong with you? I don't think I've ever had sauerkraut, to be honest. It just smells stinky. It's really good for you. It stinks. It's really good for you. It is, yeah, it's very good for your digestive health. What is it, onion? No, it's cabbage. It's fermented cabbage. Yeah, I don't know how to make sauerkraut to you. I've never ate it. Oh my god, it's yucky. I just remember at hot dog day at school, everyone's putting sauerkraut on their hot dogs. I do not like that. I'm like, ugh, stinky. Yeah, cause it's um, what's it called? I don't eat anything stinky. Vinegar. I'm just kidding. Oh boy. How many justices are on the Supreme Court? Twelve. Is it twelve? I thought, I was thinking it was nine. I thought Do you have the answer? No, it just says to visit the, Visit the webpage. It's not a whole lot. I thought it was nine. It's not a lot. You'll have to Google that. How many Supreme court justices are there? The next, the next question goes along with that. So keep that page up. Nine. Yeah, I thought it was nine. So you said nine, right? I said 12. So the next one goes along with that. Who is the chief justice of the United States now? Wait, would that be the president? No. Or is that the leader of the Supreme court? John Roberts. Okay. There you go. All right. So 41. I only know that cause I read off of my phone. Yeah, that's okay. Okay. by the way, it has to be an odd number so that there's never a chance for a 50 50 vote. Mm mm-Hmm, Oh, interesting. I remember that. Fascinating. I remember that. Under our constitution, some powers belong to the federal government, which one of the power of the federal government, which is one power of the federal government. Say that whole question again. That's weird. Sorry. Under our constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. What is one power of the federal government? What does the federal government do? They They federalize the government. Well, yeah. Money. So money, they are in charge of like the, our, um Taxpayer dollars. I don't want to say like treasury system, because that's not what it is. But it's like our Print money. Our banking system. Oh, okay. Okay. Declare war. Oh yeah. I would do that all the time. Classic war, uh, create an army and to make treaties. Wow. Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed any. I don't think that I would have said any of that. They didn't really, I don't feel like that was a very easy, well thought out question. What are two major political parties in the United States? The blue and the red Republican and Democrat. Yeah. And there's the green party. Nicholas. Yeah. I don't know. Independence. Are those libertarian? Yeah. Yeah. No, they're different. Independent and libertarian are different. As far as I know, the green, I believe is like, if they've ever had a chance, it's this year. Yeah. Libertarian is different than independent though. I'm pretty sure independent is like, you're, it's like undeclared as far as I understand. So that would be the green party, right? It's undeclared. That could be wrong. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that was what independent was, was undeclared. What is one of the responsibilities that is only for United States citizens? Oh, jury duty. Yep. Oh, good. And what do we do in November? Vote. Yep. Which serve on a jury. I know some people that have been in prison and they can't serve on a jury. So that's really not for, but I think that's just because that they haven't been convicted of crime. That's not necessarily because they're not a citizen and they can't vote either because they also serve Europe. Yeah. All right. But that's only, that's not like if you're convicted of crime, I think that's only if you're, would you guys want to serve on the jury? No, no. I would. Hannah would be like, what's the tea? Spill it. If it was something really small, that'd be okay. I feel like I have pretty good discernment with people. I can feel a vibe with people and I can just look at them and be like, guilty. Wow. Wow. They would not want you on a jury. No, they would not. You're the definition of someone they would not want. If you watch, there's a modern clip, family, modern family clip, modern family clip, uh, Sophia for Gaara, and she literally looks at him guilty and he's guilty too, someone just sitting in the corner and they just get up and run. That'd be me. She's funny. All right, let's wrap up this. United States citizen. This has been really fun though. I feel like I really want to keep going. You want to keep going? I do. Yeah. But there's so many questions. There is. Um, what is one promise you make when you become a United States citizen? There are six. Don't be a terrorist. And I, I am surprised by all of these. Is that one of them? Um, no, no terrorism. Defend the constitution and laws of the United States. Don't that's kind of like, sort of. Oh, that's not one of them. No, I don't, I don't know what any of these would be. Give up loyalty to other countries. Oh, that makes sense. Obey the laws of the United States. Serve in the military if needed. Serve, do important work for the nation if needed and be loyal to the United States. I feel like those to me are all kind of the same thing, but yes. Do you guys see that one trend? It was like, if women were in the United States army, and it's like a tank that like hit a curb, they just make it super silly and it's hilarious. I'll have to put it on my stories when this episode comes out. Yeah, that's awesome. I feel like we'd have to spend so much more money if we, if they allowed women, not, not if they allowed women in the, but if they, um, made women sign up for the draft. Like, and if we were actually drafted, I think that we would have to spend so much more money, just like on personal, personal, personal health product. Yeah. Yeah. I think it would just be, yeah. I don't know if it would be the tampon tax. Yeah. I don't know if it would be like the smartest choice, but they don't want me to, yeah, I know. I'm such a weenie. I don't think that I heard my Yeah, you could at least be, you know, you'd be a medic on the field. I bet you'd love it. Nick loved it. Yeah. Yeah. I would not love it. I would cry the whole time. There's dust in my eye. My glasses are smudged. Oh, and you can't wear glasses. Then what am I supposed to do? Exactly. Wear contacts? You have to have 20 20 vision because I sure don't. I can't be drafted then. You can't fly either. I wouldn't want to. I would get motion sick. I would. You'd like sit down in the plane and immediately barf like a little bit of turbulence. And I'm like, Oh, it could be a great, I don't like being dirty. I don't like my hand. I don't want to be smelly. I don't want to be sweaty. I'm way too fat to be in the military. Like no one wants, I'm so out of shape. No one would want that. Like I couldn't run. Like they want me to run. Like I get blown up because I can't run. Oh my God. I'm just saying. I'll use you as a body shield. Yeah. I would be good for that. But the bullets probably wouldn't go all the way through me, so that's something at least. That's my purpose, I guess. If I ever get drafted. I'll be the human shield. There you go. I'll, um, just declare war. I'll hit the button in the room. War! You wanna be the president? Hannah for president 2024. Love that. Yeah. Still probably more viable than the choices we have. I think we should have went with Kanye West. Oh my God. For sure. It would have been an interesting four years. I wonder if he would have been impeached. I wonder what would constitute for him being impeached. What trouble he would get into. I don't know. I don't know. It's definitely interesting. Kim would have made a lovely first lady. Yeah. Oh, were they married at the time? Yeah. Okay. Hmm. Yep. I can't believe that. God, pop culture is wild. Imagine a time where Kim Kardashian, that was like a viable, I mean, she's also a lawyer now. So like maybe it's kind of, you know, I don't think she works past the bar. I don't think the second time she didn't. I'm pretty sure I watched that episode. I just don't know how Google that. Did Kim Kardashian pass the bar? Kim Kardashian hasn't passed the bar yet and she reportedly plans on taking it sometime in 2022. Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure that she did. There was a whole episode and she was like in a, in the car with, um, I don't think it was North, but it could have been North. One of the kids and they were like, going to walk into a restaurant and then she checked her quiz. Kim Kardashian, December 13th, 2021. OMFG. I passed the bar exam. Oh, the baby bar exam. Yeah. Oh, the practice. Yeah. Not the full. I don't know. She has not passed yet passed the California general bar exam. However, she did pass the baby bar exam, which is a first year law students examination. Oh, well, I mean, that's something you can't buy your education. So that's true. And I think it's really expensive to take. And not that it matters to her, but yeah, I'm sure it is. It's like expensive test pocket change. Yeah, for sure. Well, what do you say guys? I don't know. I feel like we feel embarrassed ourselves. No, I feel like we feel really smart. I think we did a really good job on that test. Nick is going to be shaking his head. Did a good job. I think you did a good job, Sarah. You did someone paid attention in government class. I think you guys did a good job. Well, there was a couple of those that I feel like you guys really got like Hannah knew quite a bit about. Was it the judicial brand? That's what I wanted to know. Oh, okay. Cause my, my history teacher is like, If I see you kids on jaywalking, Jay Leno would do jaywalking and he would ask people. I feel like that was this whole episode. Oh, like, then you have to memorize something, you know, like how many stripes are on the flag? Hmm. There will be 50, 13 stars. There's 50 stripes. Yep. There's not 50 stripes on that. Yes. No, that's not the actual American. There's 50 stars. There's 13. Oh my gosh. I got that backwards. I apologize. Yeah. I think you said it, right? No, I didn't. I said it backwards. She did. She said, it made sense to me. You convinced me. Just say it with confidence. Think of how long our flag would be. What do the colors represent? Um, blue is, well, red is blood. I'm, I'm thinking white is purity. Yeah. Um, blue is, okay. Well, a lot of people can answer that. Like, Me Seriously. Calissa. You know what white means? Yeah. They always, it's the same thing like for, um, what's it called? Weddings. Yeah, weddings. Dress security. Yeah. Farmers. Yeah. What's the blue kind stuff? Um, blue is, I thought it was like, I thought it was medical or something. Oh, no, that's just like a saying that people say, but it has some truth in it. Anyway, we sound, I sound stupid. What does blue on the flag? Well, you knew who made it the first flag vigilance, perseverance and justice. I thought was the, that was on the tip of my tongue. Oh, redness symbolizes hardness and valor, which is basically, isn't that what I said? What did I say? I can't remember now what I said. They said blood. I said blood. Yeah, which is like, I just meant like, uh, like as a soldier, like you would fight as, yeah. Wow. Yeah. Interesting. Sure is. Well, I, I still think we did a good job. So 10 on 10 gold stars for all of us. I'm going to give myself a long time to edit this episode. 44 minutes. We'll see if we can make it to 30 by the end of this. Cut all my stupid answers out. You guys, we did a good job. I feel like, I mean, with some optimists over here with quite a bit of, um, Just coming, studying a lot from easily pass this test. Yeah. I think with some studying, you can pass it. Yeah. No issues at all. They made it sound like really, really, really hard. Like everyone says the United States citizen test is what we didn't get. Well, some people don't know the basic questions. Like who was the first president and stuff like that. Oh my gosh. Young people are so stupid. Yeah. Some people just don't know. I'm just like, especially like the country's question. Like how many countries are there? Name a country. 50, but then there's two territories. I'm pretty sure. That's just way too, that's just way too much. Although, now I'm thinking back on that, I don't think that they have voting rights and stuff, so I was wrong about the Anyways, whatever. And here we go, this has been Calissa! What's the Toby Key song? Brought to you courtesy. The red. The red white, blue America. I was actually just listening to Toby Keith the other day in the car. No. Put a boot in your ass. I was the American. What was that? Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list in the statue. Liberty Star is K Chicken. Is that the song that you sang? RIP, Toby Keith. Courtesy of the red wide and blue. There we go. R. I. P. Toby Keith. Should have been a cowboy. Gosh, I feel like we honor Toby Keith a lot actually. I think this is the third time we've like brought him up. Oh, I love this bar is also a good one. I love this bar. Beer for my horses was the one that I was really listening to the other day. My kind of place. What's as good as I once was? I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was. What's American soldier? American soldier and American side, my brothers and my sisters. I will proudly take a stand. When Liberty's in jeopardy, I'll always do what's right. We did a dance for that.
