Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to history and factoids

2
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.120
about today. This is June the fourteenth.

3
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:40.119
I will be drinking bourbon whiskey all night long with

4
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.079
my friends used to keep me.

5
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:44.840
In the company.

6
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.679
Today is National Bourbon Day. Now we aren't talking just whiskey, Nope,

7
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.200
we're talking bourbon now. When Scottish settlers they started making

8
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.880
whiskey in Kentucky in the mid seventeen hundreds, the only

9
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.520
great available it was corn. Yeah, while they grew in

10
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.880
that area, kind of new to them. But that limestone

11
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.599
water in that area it was high in calcium, low

12
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.000
and iron. So it made some good taste and whiskey.

13
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.879
But they were storing the whiskey and fish barrels. Now

14
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.239
that kind of ruined the taste. Then seventeen eighty Elijah

15
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.200
Craig heah, he started charring the whiskey barrels that game

16
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.359
with the whiskey a totally different taste. Then he stamped

17
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.000
bourbon on the barrels that showed what county it came from,

18
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.120
sent it down to the Mississippi, New Orleans. Took three

19
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.200
months to get there. So that age that whiskey made

20
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.840
it taste even better. It was a huge hit down

21
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.400
on New Orleans. They love that whiskey. He had bourbon

22
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.120
stamped on. That's that guy's name is Bourbon. Now bourbon.

23
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.159
It can made anywhere. It doesn't that he made in Kentucky.

24
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.319
But there are specifications that you have to do to

25
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.840
make true bourbon. Now. It has to be at least

26
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.560
fifty one percent corn. It can't be any less than

27
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.239
eighty proof, and it must be aged in new chart

28
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.680
oak barrels. And you can't have any additives like for

29
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.200
color or flavor of that kind of stuff. Jack Daniels,

30
00:01:52.359 --> 00:02:18.719

31

all right, show your American pride to dame. Fly that

32
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.599
American flag. Now, you guess you can salute it with

33
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.520
a glass of bourbon. Yeah. I can't get any more

34
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.280
American than that. All right? Who designed the American flag? No,

35
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.199
not Betsy Ross. It was a guy named Francis Hopkins.

36
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.080
He was a founding father, a signer of the Declaration

37
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.319
of Independence. He was the first federal judge of the

38
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.240

Okay, let's see what happened on June the fourteenth. Now,

70
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.759
if you listened to our shirt forty five days ago,

71
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.199
it was on April twenty eighth. Well, I talked about

72
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.519
the seventeen eighty nine Fletcher Christian, how he had led

73
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.720
the mutiny on the bounty he had that British warship.

74
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.360
Now him and his man they sent Captain Bly and

75
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.240
eighteen crewmen who were loyal to him, A drifted a

76
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.399
twenty foot lifeboat. Well, that lifeboat arrived today at the

78
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.639
six hundred miles in the last forty five days Springfield, Vermont.

79
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.399
In eighteen thirty four, Isaac Fisher, he had been in Sandpaper.

80
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.600
Nineteen forty eight, Germany, they were occupying the country of Poland.

81
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.759
Over in Poland. Today they open up the concentration camp Auschwitz. Yeah,

82
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.839
over at one point one million people died there by

83
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.120
the end of the war. Now have you ever wondered

84
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.000
why are your TV. There is no channel one. Nineteen

85
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.920

86
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.040
a television broadcasting channel. Channel one. Its frequency is supposed

87
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.040
to be used for land and mobile services. Now, even

88
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.079
though the American Pledge with legions was written by a minister,

89
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.839
he never put the words unearned God in anywhere at all.

90
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.560
Today in nineteen fifty four are President Dwight Eyes. Now

91
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.240
he signed a law adding under God to it. So

92
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.759
now it goes I pledge allegiance to the flag of

93
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.600

00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.839
subject of the United Kingdom yet, it's just an honorary yeah,

99
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.800
kind of thing. Twenty nineteen, the people in northern Norway

100
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.079

102
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:05.079
