0:00 thank you [Music] so you guys know how when Federal officials take office they swear on like a Bible or like maybe a Quran keep some honest it keeps them honest sort of the Torah or whatever the religious the belief is Right black Court um pamphlet yeah if I go to yeah if I go to court they're like all right you could you probably tell the truth and I'm like man only on a Playboy whose titties are my hand gonna be on a 1995 issue of Pamela Anderson's first debut and then Nicole Smith that's a good pick I would put it on the the sports Almanac from Back to the Future too that's sick remember when you go back in time you can't can't bet on the almanac can't lose what would you do it on

0:51 um what this guy did so he he is a congressman he's taken the the oath on a million dollar Superman comic oh actually Comics number one holy ████ well this one's not actually Comics number one oh this is the first Superman single issue after it was actually yeah Superman exactly like his Superman number one not Action Comics number one first appearance of Superman which is worth significantly more money wow like this is worth one million dollars I think it's I think it's worth five million yeah that's a lot too dude I think it's worth five million dollars but action conference number one is worth like ████ it's like the the most popular oh wow right you like swear on that I think well he he uh he is he got this one on apple pie so I could put my hand inside and then go oh that's a good idea it better be warm though oh my God see

1:42 that's even better than mine I want to swear on a marionette so I can control that to swear on a Mini Bible a condom that's cool yeah because I'm not really swearing it's true so he got the comic from the Library of Congress yeah you're smarter than this part you know that I don't know what you're saying and nobody cares like this but he got it from the library Congress and um he got the comic book from Library of Congress yeah Library Congress has like a ████ ton of books they like preserved I don't know they got all that cool ████ but you can't normally just like look at it right it's like not that's not that kind of like I don't know I don't know how it works it's not that kind of like you gotta do the white glove stuff like you know how when you gotta do the historical at artifact ████ you gotta be like I'm a special person that deserves to see this and you schedule some ████ and they take you to a ball Wish Foundation and then they they bring like a book out and then
