'SPEAKING TO THE FUTURE': Ceremony marks burial of America250 time capsule

All right, America 250 is burying a900-lb time capsule today inPhiladelphia.

It won't be opened foranother 250 years.

But, we can tell youit's filled with items from all 50states and all US territories.

From acopy of the Constitution signed by allof the Supreme Court justices to aCoca-Cola bottle.

Chief CongressionalCorrespondent Chad Pergram is live inPhiladelphia with more.

Hey, Chad.

>> Emily, good afternoon. Well, theceremony commemorating 250 years isreally about 500 years.

They will openthis time capsule in the year 2276.

And that's why today is not just aboutwhere we've been, but where we aregoing.

>> Today, we're not simply celebrating thepast.

We are speaking to the future.

When this time capsule here to my leftis opened 250 years, but in a realsense, our voices will be.

The Americans of 2276

>> Multiple governors wrote letters for thetime capsule.

Alaska sent its stateflag.

Arkansas offered a diamond fromthe crater of Diamond State Park.

Iowa submitted a space stationmedallion.

That's for Peggy Whitson, thefirst female commander of theInternational Space Station.

But, someitems failed to make the cut.

>> Well, New York's next championship ringwould be incredible and perhaps even aWorld Cup for Team USA.

Which remains tobe seen what happens, but they're ontheir way.

>> Some items inside the capsule couldspark interest and scholarship.

There'shope the capsule intrigues people in thefuture to study why certain things wereimportant to us today.

>> And I think a lot of times is that whenyou start peeling back the onion, you'relike, "Wow, that was really incredible.I didn't know this person did X." Ithink that's the opportunity for thatdiscovery.

>> Now, it will certainly be cooler inthe ground with the time capsule.

The hightoday in Philadelphia, 102,but a lot cooler here 250 years ago.

Youknow, Thomas Jefferson, he was prettymaniacal about keeping weather records.

And one reading that he took on July4th, 1776, around 1:00 in the afternoon,76°.

Very apropos.

>> Isn't it though, Chad? All right, nowtell us, what is the most interestingitem do you think that's in the timecapsule?

>> Well, I think that one of the thingsthat California sent in, they sent in anAI Claude prompt about what it thoughtthat the United States would look likein 2050. We don't know what it came upwith because it's in the time capsule.

And something they could not put insidethe time capsule was a football.

The reason is that the leather from thefootball would degrade over 250 years.

>> Well, that football better have comefrom the former Oakland Raiders, but I don't think it did.

But that's okay.

All right, guys, thank you so much and staycool out there, Chad.

All right, we're going to talk about ita little bit on the couch.

So, allright, Katie, we talked about this sortof in just in a commercial break.

Whatwould we put in the time capsule if wecould? What What's something that youwould put in?

>> I would put in a revolving series ofclips of Charlie Kirk.

And when I thinkabout America 250, I think about hislove of country, his love ofChristianity.

Um I It's something that I think 250years from now, if we were broadcastingout, I would say, "Listen to this man.Listen to what he said. Listen to howfaith is at the center of our nation."

He said just before he passed toLawrence Jones on Fox and Friends, hethought we were on the precipice of aChristian revival in this country, and Ibelieve his assassination spearheadedthat. So, I would put his infinitewisdom and all those who have listenedand all the lives he's changedum in on for his unfortunate death inthat time capsule. Um make heavencrowded was his goal and he has donejust that and that there's no moreworthy thing to put in a time capsule.

>> That's beautiful.

I shall allow

>> Well, um I was going to do a comedictake on this um but that was really sincere and heartfelt.

Um I was going tosay something First of all, we shouldhave put a Coke Zero or a Diet Coke inthere cuz who who the heck is stilldrinking a regular Coke?

>> good point.

>> Um also, I would put in just like an

iPhone.

I mean, we live on thesedevices.

So, I would have put in a bunchof different gadgets that we just likeare you know, use every single day so

that in 200 years or whatever they openit, they can laugh at us.

>> You know what I'm still fascinated aboutis when you travel the country, I'mstill amazed that you know, 250 years inthat you still go to the Carolinas andyou go to Alabama and you have differentaccents. People have different accentsin New England than they do in Seattleand they do in California and it'samazing.

I would try to go around theworld and get different accents ofdifferent people and then 250 years fromnow, see if it's still like that.

I knowit was 250 years ago, but it seemsunusual that we still have all these

unusual that we still have all these
