happened on September the eleven. So let's start out with entertainment.

18
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.680
So it happened on entertainment on September eleventh. Let's start

19
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.359
in the year nineteen seventy three number one album was

20
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.120
Brothers and Sisters by the Allman Brothers Marvin Gaye had

21
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.920

25
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.120

28
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:09.520
I can tell You've never been a far before. The

29
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.120
number one book was Hollow Hills by Mary Stewart. Top

30
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.080
movie was an American graffiti a group of teenagers in

31
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.000
nineteen sixty two. There's Been One Last Night after graduating

32
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.639
high school, cruising the strip before the other Separate Ways

33
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.759
starred Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, and Paulamont all Right. What

34
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.199
Happened in the World on September the eleventh. Casimir Pulaski,

35
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.919
he was a Polish Army officer, got into a little

36
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.879
bit of trouble back in Poland. He got kicked out

37
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.840
of the army and told never to come back to Poland.

38
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.240
So he came to the United States and he joined

39
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.240
us to help fight for independence from England. Ended up

40
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.719
forming the United States Cavalry. He was made in general.

41
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.199
Then today, in seventeen seventy seven, at the Battle of

42
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.400
Brandywine in Pennsylvania, the British were just kicking the United

43
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.800
States armies, but big time. Everything was lost. Then at

44
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.599
the very last second, Pulaski he showed up and was

45
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:57.919
able to grab George Washington and get him out of

46
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.840
the battle into safety. Had a lot of people know

47
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.520
about the Polish cavalry officer who saved George Washington's life. See,

48
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.840
at the time, they didn't let word get out. They

49
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.719
were afraid that it might make Washington seem weak. But George,

50
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.639
you never forgot about it though. Now nowadays, when you

51
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.919
think about the United States President's cabinet, their members, he

52
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.840
kind of think of a bunch of just met yes men.

53
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.159
He'll do whatever the president says, you know, tells him

54
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.080
to do. But today, in eighteen forty one, President John

55
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.800
Tyler he vetoed a banking bill. His entire cabinet except

56
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.759
the Secretary of State resigned in protest. Now Tyler he

57
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.599
refused to apologizer and take it back. So the cabinet

58
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.800
members there there came back to work. That's why Tyler

59
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.840
was a one termer. All right, let's talk car racing.

60
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.960
It was nineteen oh three in Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Mile

61
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.719
Race Track held his very first race. William Jones won

62
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.120
the five mile race. Still racing there today. Yeah, it

63
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.639
is the oldest speedway in the world. Nineteen thirty nine

64
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.000
the British submarine Triton hit torpedoed and sank the British

65
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.000
submarine Oxley where that didn't get out until after World

66
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.680
War Two was over. Nineteen forty one. Construction began on

67
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.039
the Paun. It was completed in January nineteen forty three.

68
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.159
That's a lot of work because it's still the world's

69
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.520
largest office building. No, not the tallest, the biggest by

70
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.039
his square foot was the Japanese Prime Minister for mers

71
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.719
to World War Two was a Decki Tojo in nineteen

72
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.160
forty five attempted suicide. Yeah, so he wouldn't have to

73
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.319
go to trial to face war crimes. See, he was

74
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.519
at his house and the United States Army soldiers they

75
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.639
had it surrounded and they were trying to figure out

76
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:23.879
how they were supposed to go in and arrest it

77
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.079
when they heard a gunshot, so they broke down the

78
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.079
front door and ran in and they found him standing

79
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.360
in the hallway holding a gun with blood and coming

80
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.480
from his chest, and the chest went. He screamed, I

81
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.639
am Tojo, and then he collapsed. Oh yes, soldiers. They

82
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.560
moved him to a couch. They went and got a doctor.

83
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.079
They were able to save his life. Three years, Lady Tojo.

84
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.560
He was hung for the war crimes. Now, if you

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.800
You are my sun shine, my only sunshine.

forty four to nineteen forty eight, then from nineteen sixty

105
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.000
to nineteen sixty four. Seeing Louisiana at that time a governor,

106
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.240
they couldn't serve back to back, No, they had to

107
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.079
