[00:00.39]	You all know the Bible
[00:02.84]	Is made of testaments old and new
[00:06.40]	You've been told it's just those two parts,
[00:09.35]	Or only one if you're a Jew.
[00:13.15]	But what if I were to tell you
[00:16.00]	There's a fresh third part out there
[00:18.96]	Which was found by a hip new prophet
[00:22.06]	Who had a little… Donny Osmond flair?
[00:30.81]	Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
[00:35.12]	The blonde-haired blue-eyed voice of God!
[00:38.87]	He didn't come from the Middle East Like those other holy men
[00:43.42]	No, God's favorite prophet was All-American!
[00:49.23]	I'm gonna take you back to Biblical times, 1823.
[00:52.89]	An American man named Joe livin' on a farm in the Holy Land of Rochester, New York!
[00:57.89]	You mean the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith?
[01:00.20]	That’s right! That young man spoke to God!
[01:02.39]	He spoke to God?
[01:03.45]	And God said, Joe, People really need to know
[01:05.20]	That the Bible isn't TWO parts
[01:07.05]	There's a part three to The Bible, Joe!
[01:09.40]	And I, God, have anointed you
[01:11.45]	To dig up this part three
[01:12.71]	Which is buried by a tree
[01:13.81]	On a hill in your backyard!
[01:15.41]	Wow! God says go to your backyard and start digging,
[01:18.02]	that makes perfect sense!
[01:19.85]	Joseph Smith went up on that hill
[01:21.80]	And he dug where he was told!
[01:23.85]	Deep in the ground, Joseph found
[01:25.90]	Shining plates of gold!
[01:28.07]	What are these golden plates?
[01:30.02]	Who buried them here and why?
[01:32.52]	Then appeared an angel
[01:34.27]	His name was Moro-ni!
[01:37.18]	Ahhhhh
[01:37.98]	I am Moroni…
[01:41.64]	The All-American angel!
[01:43.74]	My people lived here long, Long ago!
[01:47.34]	This is a history of my race
[01:49.95]	Please read the words within
[01:51.55]	We were Jews who met with Christ.
[01:53.80]	But we were All-American
[01:57.30]	But don’t let anybody see
[01:58.70]	These plates except for you…
[02:02.60]	They are only for you to see…
[02:05.95]	Even if people ask you to show the plates to them.
[02:09.85]	Don't.
[02:11.50]	Just copy them on to normal paper.
[02:15.26]	Even though this might make them question
[02:16.96]	If the plates are real or not…
[02:20.21]	This is sort of what God is going for…
[02:25.56]	Joseph took the plates home
[02:27.01]	And wrote down what he found inside.
[02:29.31]	He turned those plates into a book,
[02:31.26]	Then rushed into town and cried:
[02:33.26]	Hey! God spoke to me and gave me this blessed ancient tome
[02:37.54]	He hath commanded me to publish it
[02:39.54]	And stick it in every home.
[02:41.94]	Wow! So the Bible is actually a trilogy,
[02:45.04]	and Book of Mormon is Return Of The Jedi?
[02:48.04]	I'M interested.
[02:49.59]	Now, many people didn't BELIEVE the prophet Joseph Smith.
[02:54.40]	They thought he'd made up this part three
[02:56.35]	That was buried by a tree On a hill in his backyard.
[02:59.15]	Liar!
[02:59.60]	But Joe said
[03:00.70]	This is no lie,
[03:01.55]	I speak to God all the time
[03:02.70]	And he's told me to head west!
[03:04.60]	So I'll take my part three From the hill with the tree,
[03:07.35]	Feel free if you'd like to come along with me
[03:09.10]	To the promised land!
[03:09.94]	The PROMISED LAND?!
[03:11.14]	Paradise!
[03:11.73]	On the west coast!
[03:12.83]	Nothing but fruit and fields As far as the eye can see!
[03:18.83]	Have you heard of The All-American prophet?
[03:23.18]	He found a brand-new book about Jesus Christ!
[03:27.28]	We’re following him to paradise,
[03:29.33]	We call ourselves Mormon,
[03:31.52]	And our new religion is
[03:34.12]	All-American.
[03:37.48]	How much does it all cost?
[03:38.98]	The Mormons kept on searching for that place to settle down
[03:43.03]	But every time they thought they found it
[03:45.08]	They got kicked out of town
[03:47.18]	And even though people wanted to see the golden plates
[03:51.43]	Joseph never showed 'em!
[03:54.68]	I have maggots in my scrotum.
[04:03.08]	Um, okay… Well anyway
[04:06.78]	Now comes the part of our story that gets a little bit sad.
[04:12.93]	On the way to the promised land. Mormons made people mad.
[04:19.64]	Joseph was shot by an angry mob and knew he'd soon be done
[04:25.79]	You must lead the people now,
[04:29.79]	My good friend Brigham Young.
[04:35.00]	Oh God why are you letting me die
[04:40.55]	Without having me show people the plates?
[04:44.40]	They’ll have no proof I was telling the truth or not
[04:48.75]	They’ll have to believe it just cuz.
[04:53.20]	Oh.
[04:54.70]	I guess that’s kind of what you were going for.
[05:00.50]	Blargggh…
[05:03.25]	The prophet Joseph Smith died for what he believed in.
[05:07.30]	But his followers, they kept heading west.
[05:10.80]	And Brigham Young led them to paradise.
[05:13.70]	A sparkling land in Utah they named Salt Lake City.
[05:19.25]	And there the Mormons multiplied!
[05:22.06]	And made big Mormon families!!
[05:25.61]	Generation to generation until finally…
[05:29.41]	they made me!
[05:31.16]	And now it’s my job
[05:33.21]	to lead you where those early settlers
[05:35.96]	were led so long ago
[05:40.26]	Have you heard of the
[05:42.01]	All-American prophet?
[05:43.71]	Kevin Price!
[05:44.81]	The next in line to be the voice of God?
[05:47.76]	My best friend!
[05:48.66]	He’s gonna do something incredible!
[05:50.91]	And be Joseph Smith again!
[05:53.16]	Cuz' Kevin Price the prophet is all, all, all,
[05:58.91]	All-American!
[06:01.81]	And if you order now we'll also throw in a set of steak knives!
[06:05.95]	All-American!
