00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.079

number one album was the soundtrack for
the movie Saturday Night Fever. Olivia Newton,

12
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.920
John and John Travolta had the number
one song with You're the One that

13
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:41.920
I Want. Side number one country
song was two More Bottles of Wine by

14
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:59.519
Emmy Lou Harris the West Coast.
Two months later, Trouble Bottles All Moses.

15
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:07.680
The number one book was Scruples by
Judith Krantz. The top movie was

16
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.360
Jobs Too. Now the plot is
pretty complicated on this one. See this

17
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.120
big ass shark terrorized as the citizens
of a small beach down stars Roy Schrider,

18
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:24.039
Lorne Gray and Murray Hamilton. Oh
the chapel and gone again, May

19
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:37.759
go to the Chapa again. Nineteen
sixty four, in South Africa, forty

20
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.400
year old Nelson Mandela married twenty two
year old Winning. They had two daughters

21
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.080
before divorcing in nineteen ninety six.
Nineteen sixty three, forty one year old

22
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.800
Betty White she married forty five year
old game show host Alton Ludden. They

23
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.479
were together until he died in nineteen
eighty one. All right, let's see

24
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.039
what happened in the world. On
June the fourteenth, seventeen seventy seven,

25
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.840
the Continental Congress, they got rid
of the Grand Union flag. They replaced

26
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.319
it with the Stars and stripes as
the official American flag. It was designed

27
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.400
by Francis Hopkinson. So what about
Betsy Ross Well, I think she might

28
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.240
have sown it, but nobody knows
for sure. Seventeen eighty nine. On

29
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.120
April twenty eighth, we talked about
how the mutiny on the Bounty happened how

30
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.759
Fletcher Chritchenson and his mutineers took control
of the ship the Bounty, and then

31
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.960
Captain Bly and eighteen of his men
that were loyal to him were set adrift

32
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.879
in a lifeboat. Well forty five
years later today bly and all his men

33
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.639
they made it safely to the island
of Timor. Yeah, they made a

34
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.000
thirty six hundred mile ride. Eighteen
thirty four in Springfield, Vermont. Isaac

35
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.919
Fisher Junior. He invented sandpaper eighteen
forty seven. So what do you think.

36
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.039
Robert Bunsen invented yep the Bunsen Burner
eighteen eighty one, and Cambridge,

37
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:53.400
Massachusetts. The player piano was invented
by John mcdammaney Jr. Nineteen forty eight.

38
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.879
The Ashwitz Concentration and Extermination camp opened
up in Poland. It was opened

39
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.280
by the controlling German Army R.
Ginn. He just had Poland's POWs,

40
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.919
but then they had Jews, Gypsies
and round three million people died there.

41
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.439
Now. When Francis Bellamy wrote the
Pledge of Allegiance in eighteen ninety two,

42
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.120
even though he's a devout Christian,
he didn't put the word God in it.

43
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.879
It was today, in nineteen fifty
four, that the words under God

44
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.920
were added by the United States Congress. Now Carl Rowan, he was this

45
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.439
row left wing liberal newspaper columnists,
huge, huge, gun control fanatic.

46
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.360
He even wrote that any person that
was found even possessing a handgun, except

47
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.839
for a police offer, they had
to go to jail immediately. Right then,

48
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.720
Well today, in nineteen eighty eight
he shot a teenager with an illegal

49
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.759
handgun. A teenager and a couple
of friends were skinny dipping in in Rowan's

50
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:48.680
pool rolland he didn't get any jail
done. Coop, show this sea.

51
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.560
We're gonna this sar this suar steak
and you know we don't give up.

52
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.959
Well, let's just check out of

53
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.879

58
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.639
the book Uncle Tom's Cabin. It
was the first American novel ever to sell

59
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.480
one million copies. Now, it
might have been bigger than even in Britain.

60
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.560
Let's see, they didn't have copyright
laws back then, so you didn't

61
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.480
get any money if people sold your
books overseas. But it was a huge

62
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.040
