1:46 when he was married a map of the United

1:48 States the first third of it is the

1:49 thirteen original colonies the second

1:52 third of it is the French territory of

1:53 Louisiana and the third third is Mexico

1:55 in this map of the United States there

1:58 is not a single state that's because

2:21 it's not like I'm agreeing with the

2:24 people who are gonna be offended it's

2:26 just that you're asking for a whole lot
