Mable Walker: Early 20th century stooge.
Philly is still corrupt TODAY!!
Conservatives love big government banning social behavior. They use government to victimize minorities and the lower classes while creating real problems like organized crime.
Fun fact: Women had a major hand in prohibition getting passed as law.
Man that bill kurtis is the david Attenborough of crime telling just awesome
🤆ðŸÂ¿
Can't believe we're still trying this prohibition approach today with drugs, like it's going to work all the sudden. Time to control and regulate ALL drugs and get rid of all of these cartels, street gang members, and criminals. We're CHOOSING to enrich them!
If I was that guy I would had started laughing whenever I said Boo Boo 😂. I wouldn't be able to take Boo Boo seriously lol.
Hey……check this out …… Nobody likes commercials ……..
The boss of all bosses "lucky"
Prohibition also gave birth to NASCAR. When automobiles became more accessible, bootleggers in the South began to soup up their cars to outrun the law. Once Prohibition was over, they still wanted to show off their driving skills at high speeds and, as they say, the rest is history.
hold the rice
Ayyy Philadelphia â¤
32:38 — For the time, a woman dancing like that (and dressed like that) would have been considered incredibly risque!
âœâ€Â
Kennedy stole the election for JFK and then they went after the people that gave them the country the mob,
after promising if they got them elected they would leave them alone! And that was their downfall cuz the mob killed the JFK and then got his brother!
These people were the fathers of HRC, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and others in American govt.
Prohibitionists: The original Karens.
Philly trying to do its own thing and cut corners has never worked. Gawd I hate it here.
Aaaaaaa Mike , music of the day…….CHECK, news of the day……..CHECK…….CHECK…….., but videos OF THE DAY ? Ahhhhh I DON’T think so ! HHHHHHHH🦊🇺🇸ðŸÂÂÂÂ
Bunch of lies it was bad people that allowed bad people to do bad thing
They need more of this today
Lock them all up
âœâ€Â
The Kennedysget $1 for every bottle of Scotch sold now in USA
FYI… the income tax was brought in to replace alcohol tax so prohibition could go forward. Now we pay both? F that
I pray to God that history doesnt repeat itself in this era.
So cuz of women the mafia was made !
The way he spits out WASP without once saying "Catholic." Maybe The Kennedys had to approve the script.
These are great documentaries.
Bill Kurtis is my step father
I get so baked watching this
Boo Boo Hoff… I see a movie coming… And I see a role…
Can no history be told without being twisted into propaganda?
ðŸÂº ðŸÂ·
I've seen this episode at least 6 times now.
These same gangsters and mafia men would end up in the American army committing many crimes unspoken about in ww2.
These types of shows are all i watch(which makes people think im weird), other than sports, which i can now stream online for free. Looks like I can cancel that bill. Cable has seen its best days🤣🤣
The uneven shoemaker intralysosomally separate because apartment reilly scrub times a brave suggestion. lethal, cute cartoon
but it started in new orleans
I think Joe Kennedy was a criminal just like the rest of them just like the politicians of today on one hand you’re telling the people that you’re there for them on the other hand you’re shaking hands with the devils taking kickbacks and making money you shouldn’t be taking
OK ask yourself that now ask yourself this if Joe Kennedy was a Republican versus Democrat would this documentary still be glorifying him in the way that it is
Prohibition against so-called "marijuana" is equally disastrous, though it has not spawned violence like the liquor business did.
Anything that is prohibited will create an ilegal market how stupid can politicians be
What knucklehead historian stated that NO ONE could have predicted the outcome of prohibition??! A significant number of people opposed the Volstead Act for the very reason that it would cause more crime while demand continued unabated.
"Philadelphia Lawyer" became a cliché for conservative probity during this period. . .
