11:38 it's hard to tell you everything. And I

11:38 it's hard to tell you everything. And I am planning on coming back, but I've

11:40 am planning on coming back, but I've

11:44 here last in 2019. And if the following

11:44 here last in 2019. And if the following year taught us anything, it is to uh

11:47 year taught us anything, it is to uh

11:47 year taught us anything, it is to uh never take your time for granted. So if

11:50 never take your time for granted. So if

11:50 never take your time for granted. So if we're only here for one day, we might as

11:52 we're only here for one day, we might as

11:52 we're only here for one day, we might as well look around and see what we can

11:53 well look around and see what we can

11:53 well look around and see what we can see, discuss what we can discuss while

11:55 see, discuss what we can discuss while

11:57 we're here. But all right, the Washington Monument, dedicated, of

11:59 Washington Monument, dedicated, of

11:59 Washington Monument, dedicated, of course, to George Washington, the

12:01 course, to George Washington, the

12:01 course, to George Washington, the founding father, the first president of

12:03 founding father, the first president of

12:03 founding father, the first president of the United States of America, general of

12:06 the United States of America, general of

12:06 the United States of America, general of the Continental Armies. I mean, if you

12:07 the Continental Armies. I mean, if you

12:07 the Continental Armies. I mean, if you had to narrow it down to one founding

12:09 had to narrow it down to one founding

12:09 had to narrow it down to one founding father, he is the one. first in war,

12:12 father, he is the one. first in war,

12:14 first in peace, first in the hearts of

12:14 first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen. I think the monument did

12:16 his countrymen. I think the monument did

12:16 his countrymen. I think the monument did open in 1888, but the stone obelisk was

12:19 open in 1888, but the stone obelisk was

12:19 open in 1888, but the stone obelisk was completed in 1884.

12:21 completed in 1884.

12:22 completed in 1884. And notoriously speaking of

12:23 And notoriously speaking of

12:23 And notoriously speaking of construction, I don't know how easy it

12:24 construction, I don't know how easy it

12:24 construction, I don't know how easy it is to tell on camera and in this

12:26 is to tell on camera and in this

12:26 is to tell on camera and in this lighting, but you will notice that the

12:28 lighting, but you will notice that the

12:28 lighting, but you will notice that the upper portion and the lower portion down

12:30 upper portion and the lower portion down

12:30 upper portion and the lower portion down here are actually made of two different

12:33 here are actually made of two different

12:33 here are actually made of two different colors of marble. And that's because

12:36 colors of marble. And that's because

12:36 colors of marble. And that's because there was a long pause in construction

12:39 there was a long pause in construction

12:39 there was a long pause in construction mostly during the Civil War, but it

12:41 mostly during the Civil War, but it

12:41 mostly during the Civil War, but it actually started a little bit before

12:42 actually started a little bit before

12:42 actually started a little bit before that. You know how those government

12:43 that. You know how those government

12:43 that. You know how those government projects are with the funding and

12:45 projects are with the funding and

12:45 projects are with the funding and whatnot. The original stone at the

12:47 whatnot. The original stone at the

12:47 whatnot. The original stone at the bottom here was quarried in Maryland. I

12:49 bottom here was quarried in Maryland. I

12:49 bottom here was quarried in Maryland. I believe in a town called Texas,

12:51 believe in a town called Texas,

12:51 believe in a town called Texas, Maryland. And when they paused

12:52 Maryland. And when they paused

12:52 Maryland. And when they paused construction in 1854, of course, the

12:55 construction in 1854, of course, the

12:55 construction in 1854, of course, the Civil War came just a few years later.

12:58 Civil War came just a few years later.

12:58 Civil War came just a few years later. And during the Civil War, the quarry was

13:00 And during the Civil War, the quarry was

13:00 And during the Civil War, the quarry was abandoned and apparently it flooded. And

13:02 abandoned and apparently it flooded. And

13:02 abandoned and apparently it flooded. And by the time construction resumed in

13:04 by the time construction resumed in

13:04 by the time construction resumed in 1879, they actually went to a different

13:06 1879, they actually went to a different

13:06 1879, they actually went to a different quarry to complete the top. I think most

13:09 quarry to complete the top. I think most

13:09 quarry to complete the top. I think most of it came from Massachusetts, although

13:11 of it came from Massachusetts, although

13:11 of it came from Massachusetts, although not all of it. And after the Civil War,

13:13 not all of it. And after the Civil War,

13:13 not all of it. And after the Civil War, clearly the priority was just to get the

13:15 clearly the priority was just to get the

13:15 clearly the priority was just to get the monument finished at all costs. And

13:18 monument finished at all costs. And

13:18 monument finished at all costs. And stone matching was not as much of a

13:22 stone matching was not as much of a

13:22 stone matching was not as much of a priority, dude. But this thing is

13:23 priority, dude. But this thing is

13:23 priority, dude. But this thing is absolutely gargantuan. 555t

13:35 tall. That is 111 alleys standing on top

13:35 tall. That is 111 alleys standing on top of each other, dude. 111 alleys. That is

13:38 of each other, dude. 111 alleys. That is

13:38 of each other, dude. 111 alleys. That is one huge obelisk. It is nearly 890

13:43 one huge obelisk. It is nearly 890

13:43 one huge obelisk. It is nearly 890 steps to get to the top of this thing.

13:44 steps to get to the top of this thing.

13:44 steps to get to the top of this thing. You can ascend to the top. We're not

13:46 You can ascend to the top. We're not

13:47 going to do that today. But I did want

45:24 But as for the rest of it, the wood, the

45:24 But as for the rest of it, the wood, the metal, the wire even, this is the

45:27 metal, the wire even, this is the

45:27 metal, the wire even, this is the original flyer, the actual first

45:30 original flyer, the actual first

45:30 original flyer, the actual first aircraft

45:31 aircraft

45:31 aircraft in which man took to the skies

45:36 in which man took to the skies

45:36 in which man took to the skies successfully.

45:37 successfully.

45:40 That is crazy. And we flew here from LA. That would not have been possible

45:41 That would not have been possible

45:41 That would not have been possible without those two bicycle repair

45:43 without those two bicycle repair

45:43 without those two bicycle repair brothers. Also, something that never

45:45 brothers. Also, something that never

45:45 brothers. Also, something that never really occurs to me watching the History

45:46 really occurs to me watching the History

45:46 really occurs to me watching the History Channel or something like that, but

45:48 Channel or something like that, but

45:48 Channel or something like that, but standing here in front of this thing, it

45:50 standing here in front of this thing, it

45:50 standing here in front of this thing, it occurs to me in a big way. Even if you

45:52 occurs to me in a big way. Even if you

45:52 occurs to me in a big way. Even if you didn't get up all that high, this thing

45:55 didn't get up all that high, this thing

45:55 didn't get up all that high, this thing would be terrifying to ride in. Being up

45:57 would be terrifying to ride in. Being up

45:57 would be terrifying to ride in. Being up in the air with nothing but balls of

45:59 in the air with nothing but balls of

46:21 even after the fact. Like they didn't

46:21 even after the fact. Like they didn't name it the Kittyhawk or this or that or

46:23 name it the Kittyhawk or this or that or

46:23 name it the Kittyhawk or this or that or the other thing. Just the right flyer.

46:25 the other thing. Just the right flyer.

46:25 the other thing. Just the right flyer. That's what it is. What it has been and

46:27 That's what it is. What it has been and
