What themes of gratitude are expressed during the Thanksgiving segment?

Unknown Singer 0:05
We've come to the time in the season When family and friends gather near To offer a prayer of thanksgiving For blessings we've known through the years To join hands and thank the Creator Now when Thanksgiving is due This year when I count my blessings I'm thanking the Lord He made you This year when I count my blessings I'm thanking the Lord He made you I'm grateful for the laughter of children The sun and the wind and the rain The color of blue in your sweet eyes, the sight of a high-balling train. The moonrise over a prairie, an old love that you've made new. And this year when I count my blessings, I'm thinking the Lord, he made you. This year when I count my blessings I'm thankin' the Lord He made you And when the time comes to be goin' It won't be in sorrow and tears I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll go on the way
Unknown Singer 2:02
I'm grateful for all of the years I'm thankful for all that you gave me For teaching me what love can do And Thanksgiving Day for the rest of my life I'm thanking the Lord He made you And Thanksgiving Day for the rest of my life Thanking the Lord he made you.

It's Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, 27 November, Year of Our Lord 2025. I guess we're going to get Nate up as we're trying to work on Nate to get him up.

How do the early settlers' motivations differ between regions?

Steve Bannon 2:50
Let me know because I want to play his clip and bring him on. Larry, from the actual arrival of the pilgrims in... Massachusetts, the Bay Colony, and the entrepreneurs, the freebooters, the cavaliers down at Jamestown. And it's essentially, I guess, what, about 170 years from that moment to the Revolution? Is that my math generally correct?
Larry Schweikert 3:18
Yes.
Steve Bannon 3:20
I'm terrible at math, yes. So let's say it's 170 years to the Revolution. or maybe even longer, if you take it from the revolution that gets you to 1949, a lot of people in learning about their country don't realize there's this vast, you know, it's over 150 years, 170 years, 175 years from when the first Argonauts until we really get to the revolution.

What role did land ownership play in conflicts with Native Americans?

Steve Bannon 3:50
That's kind of a very, you know, people know about the first Thanksgiving. But what happened in the interim to get us to remember when the revolution starts, Philadelphia is, I think, the second largest English speaking city outside of London. What was it that drove that kind of tremendous growth in community that then you had 13 English colonies, sir?
Larry Schweikert 4:14
Well, in different things. In Virginia, it was, as you said, mostly a quest for land, and there were good tobacco lands. Once they figured out tobacco was a cash crop, people couldn't wait to get here and start their own tobacco plantations. Of course, more than half failed, but that's the way it is any time. It was a little different in Massachusetts because so many of the early settlers there were coming in for religious freedom. They heard that the pilgrims got there, that they hadn't been squashed or extinguished by the crown, that they were thriving with their own religion. And so all sorts of other religious groups, sects began to come in, whether it was the Quakers who moved out into Pennsylvania, whether it was the Catholics who came into Maryland.

How did the French and Indian War impact colonial relationships?

Larry Schweikert 5:06
It was kind of a religious movement that sparked the rise of New England into all of these colonies. But the second key element there is land, that you could always get more land. Now, we've kind of harped on this business of titles and deeds, but it is important that if there were conflicts with the Indians, the settlers would always say to the Indians, okay, where's your land deed? Where's your title? And of course, they didn't have it. The Indians, with a couple of exceptions, had mostly an oral tradition, and they didn't have written titles and deeds. So they were at a disadvantage against Western Europeans
Steve Bannon 5:50
But hang on, hang on. If some guy's going to walk up to me and say, hey, look, where's your title?

What was the significance of John Jacob Astor in American history?

Steve Bannon 5:57
Where's your deed? Don't you get a tomahawk in the head or a hatchet in the head? The guy goes, hey, here's my title. Suck on this pilgrim.
Unknown 6:06
Of course you do.
Steve Bannon 6:07
I mean, what kind of wise ass is going to ask the Indian? I don't think they're asking Squanto.
