00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,000
human achievements in all of history, a man actually stepping

17
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,439
foot on the moon. The mission that took the US

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,719
astronauts to the Moon was Apollo eleven. Now on that

00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,759

Speaker 2: That's one small step for man, one giant lead for mankind.

28
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,200
Aldrin joined Armstrong about twenty minutes later. Altogether they spent

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,359
about twenty one hours and thirty eight minutes on the moon.

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,079
They set up various types of equipment. Hundreds of millions

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,719
of people watched this event on television, and on their

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,239
way out they knocked the flag over.

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Just take a moment. Can you imagine being one of

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,319
those guys like talk about fear terror? I mean, you

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920
trained for this, but you're doing something that no one

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,079
has ever ever done, and then you have to make

37
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:51,599
it back home.

38
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely amazing.

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: All right? Tell us about Woodsuck all right? This refers

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,000
to the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, commonly referred to

41
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,159
just as Woodstock. It was a musical festival that was

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,000
held from August fifteenth to August eighteenth, nineteen sixty nine,

43
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:12,240
on Max Jazger's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, forty

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,360
miles southwest of the town of Woodstock. It was billed

45
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:21,280
as an aquarian exposition three days of peace and music.

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,319
It attracted more than four hundred and sixty thousand attendees.

47
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,199
Thirty two acts performed outdoors, Despite the fact that it

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,759
was overcast and raining much of the time. It was

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,280
one of the largest music festivals in history and became

50
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,000
synonymous with the counterculture of the sixties. The next year,

51
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:42,479
they re released a documentary film, some of which was

52
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:46,840
filmed by Martin Scorsese, and a soundtrack album that had

53
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:51,560
a song called Woodstock written by Joni Mitchell, performed by Crosby, Stills,

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Nash and Young. In two thousand and four, Rolling Stone

55
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:59,199
magazine listed it as the number nineteen of the fifty

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,039
moments that she changed the history of rock and roll.

57
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:03,719
Wow Okay? Telling me about Watergate.

58
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: On June seventeen, nineteen seventy two, police caught five men

59
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,439
breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, d C.

60
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:13,800
At the Watergate Hotel, and he called this a third

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,520
rate burglary.

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,479
Speaker 1: At the time.

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,199
Speaker 2: Now, between nineteen seventy two and late nineteen seventy three,

64
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,879
there was a series of meetings between Bob Woodward of

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,840
the Washington Post and a secret informant called Deep Throat.

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,639
He revealed that the break in was politically motivated and

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,039
could be traced back to the committee to re elect

68
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:32,520
the president, even to the president himself. The motive was

69
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,800
to collect information and place bugging devices. Now Nixon denied involvement,

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,879
of course, and was re elected. In nineteen seventy two,

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,479
the Watergate Committee began to dig and place pressure. White

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,400
House Deputy Assistant Alexander Butterfield revealed the existence of White

73
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,879
House Tapes, which was a new recording system placed in

74
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:52,199
the Oval Office. He had to do this under oath,

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,879
and it was like this big revelation, So of course

76
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:56,120
the committee wanted the tapes.

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: Well.

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,439
Speaker 2: Nixon tried everything to block the tapes. Right after this,

79
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,599
Nixon gave the quote I Am not a crook speech. Ultimately,

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,360
the release of the White House tapes incriminated Nixon. This

81
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:10,319
causes Richard Nixon to resign the presidency. After that, new

82
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,400
President Gerald Ford pardons him, and the actual identity of

83
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Deep Throat was revealed in two thousand and five to

84
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:21,439
be former Associate director of the FBI William mark Feldt.

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Check out the book and movie All the Presidents Men yep,

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,759
