McDonald v. Chicago opened up a flood of lawsuits, many by the National Rifle Association, against local and state governments across the country. That said, it has not won ALL those lawsuits, and since the decision lower courts have upheld that bans on certain guns is still constitutional, as well as additional restrictions on how people can both get and carry guns. Today, around 45% of American households own at least one gun, and the United States, by far, has the highest gun ownership rate in the world.

Often, we learn history directly from those who experienced it firsthand. But the vast majority of folks who experienced World War Two, firsthand, are now dead. Around 70 million people fought in World War Two. Less than 75,000 of them are still around today. The youngest World War Two veterans today are in their late 90s.
Based on current estimates, nearly all of them will be dead by the year 2040.
I was extremely fortunate to spend some time with two of them.
Wilbur Grisham served as a medic in the Pacific Theater of the war.
Marvin Blakeman served with the 83rd Infantry Division in the European Theater of the war. He landed at Normandy and saw combat as he marched through France, eventually fighting in the Battle of the Bulge.
I also was extremely fortunate to spend the day with Hudson, who works with the channel Memoirs of World War Two. The folks at the channel travel to as many places as they can to interview and honor the few surviving World War Two veterans left. These veterans have not only important stories to share, but fascinating stories. And because they are PERSONAL stories, they capture what history books often can’t. And the videos are incredibly well produced. The channel is a gem. Check it out.

#socialmedia #medialiteracy #sociology
People seem to be more tribalistic than ever. Often, there are two teams, and you’re either with US or you’re with THEM.
And if someone from our team joins the rival team, boy we hate them even more than our enemies, don’t we. The word “TRAITOR” seems to roll off our tongues a bit easier these days.
And sure, most of the time it just seems like there are TWO teams, but within these two teams there is an endless amount of smaller teams. The number of people we identify as part of our team seems to be shrinking. The number of enemies we have? Well that seems to be growing. And we seem to hate our enemies more. And while our teams used to be more aligned with families, nations, countries, or religions, now our teams are more aligned with political parties, universities, neighborhood associations, media figures, or even Discord servers. This realignment has even caused family members to not talk to each other anymore. We have splintered so much that it’s even difficult to find someone to date on one of those dating app thingies.
And while the political divide in the United States seems to get all the attention these days, I argue that this is a much more systemic problem.
So why do we no longer have anything in common? In this video, I will tell you exactly why we no longer have anything in common, and I even got some insights from Dr. Sam Richards, the brilliant sociologist who runs the famous SOC 119 class at Penn State that has quite a YouTube following as well.

#generation #generationalpha #genz
A generation is all the humans born AROUND the same time AND who experienced pretty much the same culture growing up. Specifically, we are talking about SOCIAL generations. That’s the generations most typically bring up today. There’s also the more traditional FAMILIAL generations, or a group of humans all on one level of a family tree. Nah man, in this video, we’re focusing on social generations.

#ushistory #supremecourt #apgovt
Fletcher v. Peck was the first case in which the Supreme Court ruled a state law was unconstitutional. The decision also established a strong precedent for the importance of contracts. More specifically, the decision further cemented the protection of property rights. Over the next several decades, it established a big obstacle for the state regulation of private companies. Unfortunately, the decision also introduced another precedent- Native Americans did not hold the complete title to their own lands. And so who won the case Fletcher v. Peck? Fletcher AND Peck. Oh snap.
I’ll see you for the next Supreme Court case, jury!

The 5 Closest Presidential Elections in U.S. History
Click this link to make some cash for giving your opinion! https://www.inflcr.co/SHKPn Thanks YouGov for sponsoring!
Mr. Beat counts down the five closest presidential elections in American history. This is only his opinion, ok? If you disagree with his opinion, well...then you're nuts, man, because he's been, like, obsessed with this stuff since third grade. Just kidding, your opinion is probably more correct than his.

People confuse Mr. Beat and Mr. Beast all the freaking time. But they're very different YouTubers. One makes quickly-paced videos with highly professionalized production. The other makes much slower-paced videos with much less flashy production. I mean, look at that. That’s pathetic.
Mr. Beast makes entertainment videos that sometimes accidentally educate his audience. Mr. Beat makes educational videos that sometimes accidentally entertain his audience. Most of Mr. Beast’s videos are basically game shows for an audience with a much shorter attention span. Baby boomers and Generation X had the Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. Gen Z and Generation Alpha have Mr. Beast. That said, Mr. Beast also has had success with videos in which, ya just get to see things you would NEVER get to see otherwise. There’s a lot of stunts, like “last person to leave” stuff. Mr. Beat, on the other hand, mostly makes American political history videos. He’s mostly known for his videos about American presidents, but he also has more general history stuff, as well as geography and economics stuff.
But Mr. Beast and Mr. Beat have more in common than you might think.

#ushistory #truman #presidents
“Three things ruin a man…Power, money, and women. I never wanted power, I never had any money, and the only woman in my life is up at the house right now.”
That was a quote not from me, Mr. Beat, but from a dude who was never supposed to be president. But he was!
A dude who never even sought to be a LEADER, but who history FORCED to be one of the greatest leaders in American history.
A dude who failed at multiple business ventures and even went bankrupt.
A dude who, after he was president, moved back into the same house he lived in back when he went bankrupt, and then went into debt again because his only income was an Army pension of $112.56 a month. That’s less than $1300 a month in today’s money.
A dude who never wanted the job, and a dude who no one had heard of before he was 50 years old.
Here is the story of Harry Truman, the most average person to ever become president.

His story is a uniquely AMERICAN story. His story is an inspiring story. He proved that not just people born into privilege could become extremely wealthy. Sure, he was ruthless at times. Many argue that he exploited and dehumanized his workers. Throughout his working career, he seemingly prioritized the bottom line over all else. It was all about making as much money as possible. He believed individualism ultimately improved society more than collectivism. In other words, he thought that the personal pursuit of wealth made EVERYONE better off.
But Andrew Carnegie would argue that the ends justifies the means. He argued that the rich were obligated to use their wealth to give back to society. Heck, he even argued that if the rich weren’t going to give back willingly to society, then governments should tax them so that they are forced to give back. Carnegie firmly believed that the future leaders of society would and SHOULD come from the working class.

The Mason-Dixon line was originally just the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Now, a DISPUTED border between the two now states but former colonies, but more on that in a bit.
This border was so important that it later became known as the boundary between Southern slave states and Northern free states in the decades before the American Civil War.
Heck, even AFTER the American Civil War it was a big deal, and even today this border marks a significant cultural divide in the United States.

West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish was a big freaking deal because it effectively ended the Lochner Era, a period in which the Court, more often than not, struck down economic regulations and restrictions on businesses in the name of protecting contracts. President Roosevelt was certainly happy about the decision. In fact, 15 months later he’d sign the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic metaphor that represents how likely it is that a human-made, worldwide disaster will kill us all. The closer it is to midnight, the closer we are to that actually happening. Members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have been revealing how close we are to global destruction going back all the way to 1947.
Today there are an estimated 12,500 nuclear warheads still in existence.
Now, the fear is that if one government were to ever use a nuclear weapon, the government of the country hit by one would retaliate. The next thing you know, it could spiral out of control. Nukes dropped everywhere and we’re all dead. This fear was THE FEAR that was everywhere during the Cold War.
The end of the Cold War in 1991 got rid of much of those fears of nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, though, the Doomsday Clock has been headed straight for midnight ever since. In recent years, the threat of nuclear war has returned, and it hasn’t been the ONLY thing the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have been worried about. They’ve also said the lack of support for taking action in response to climate change has led to the Doomsday Clock being closer to midnight.
But the thing is, there were times in recent history in which the Doomsday Clock actually would have arguably been…like…at ONE SECOND to midnight. We just didn’t realize it until later on.
And that’s what this video’s about.
Here are three times the world almost ended.
One crazy thing to think about is that you may be watching this video right now or listening…I do realize many of you don’t like to look at my face…whatever. But yeah, you may be consuming this video right now and there might be a nuke about to be launched. Did you hear that? A nuke possibly just almost got launched! And we won’t find out about this for a long time.

Keep in mind that the power of the presidency has significantly grown since George Washington was the country’s first president. Not because the Constitution has changed, but because presidents themselves have expanded their inherent powers. In particular, I’m looking at you, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and George W. Bush.
That all said, the president doesn’t control everything, man. So maybe, I don’t know, pay attention to OTHER PEOPLE running for public office this year?
So what did I leave out regarding presidential responsibilities? Also, I am planning on a follow-up to this video about what makes a GOOD president, according to the experts, and I’d like to hear your opinions about that. Ya know, because y’all are experts, too. Let me know down below. Thanks for watching!

McDonald v. Chicago opened up a flood of lawsuits, many by the National Rifle Association, against local and state governments across the country. That said, it has not won ALL those lawsuits, and since the decision lower courts have upheld that bans on certain guns is still constitutional, as well as additional restrictions on how people can both get and carry guns. Today, around 45% of American households own at least one gun, and the United States, by far, has the highest gun ownership rate in the world.
