00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.800
Hi, and welcome to history and Factor. It is about today.
2
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.039
I am Jeff. Today is March, the first. Now March
3
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.440
comes from Mars, which is the Roman god for war.
4
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.600
March is full moon, is the warm moon. Now March
5
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.280
is a pretty cool month. We've got daylight savings coming.
6
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.119
We've got March Maden St. Patrick's Day, first day of spring.
7
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.960
Might as well starting off, well, let's celebrate this way.
8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:45.600
A cly Taylor, A cutely little snout a pig. It's
9
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:53.799
running abound in the month. He is rolling around and
10
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:59.479
stumping with his little feet in his food in the pigs,
11
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.880
Oh my, oh.
12
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:11.359
My, water rare. Today he is National Pig Day. Now, pigs,
13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.200
they're first domesticated nine thousand years ago over in Asia.
14
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.879
They made it to Yurope around thirty five hundred years ago.
15
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.920
It's fifteen thirty nine when Hernando de Soto, he brought
16
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.519
the first pigs to America. Yeah, let him loosen. What's today, Tampa, Florida.
17
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.879
Now someone says they're sweating like a pig. Yeah, you know,
18
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.280
they're lying. Pigs don't have sweat glands, so nope, they
19
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.959
can't sweat. That's why they roll around in the mud. So,
20
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.000
I guess we celebrate the pig today, so we do
21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.920
not eat the pig. No, Now, I guess you can
22
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.280
go out to a petting zoo. You can even adopt
23
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:41.799
a pig, probably a pop belly one.
24
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:42.239
All right.
25
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.280
You can watch Porky the Pig, Charlotte's Webb the Babes movies.
26
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.599
I guess you could have a Porky's marathon. Just have
27
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.799
fun celebrating the pig today. All right, this is going
28

one country song with I'm a lonesome fugitive.
37
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.039
A fugitive must be a rolling stone.
38
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.080
Down every road.
39
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.919
There's always one more city.
40
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.400
I am on the run. The highway is my home.
41
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.680
The number one book was the Secret of Santa Victoria
42
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.240
by Robert Crichton. Top movie was Harry send Down. The
43
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.080
total jerk. He tries to screw his cousin out of
44
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.280
his land by trying to buy it from early conwents. Well,
45
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.840
that didn't work, so then he tries and basically causes tragedies.
46
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.719
The rest of his family stars Michael Kaine, Jane Fonda,
47
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.039
and John Philip dah All Right, what happened on March
48
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.759
the first, sixteen thirty nine, We got our first UFO
49
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.800
siding in America. Free men in a rowboat. They were
50
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.759

they reported seeing two lights in the sky with sparks
52
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.759
going back and forth between them. Now their story was
53
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.159
backed up by the people in the nearby town of Charleston. Yeah,
54
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.680
they saw it too. Now when the lights faded after
55
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.199
a couple hours, the men, they had no explanation on
56
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.560
how that rowboat got one mile upstream against the tide.
57
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.439

Game in the world's fore national Park. In nineteen ten,
87
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.199
the deadliest avalanche in the US history hit. It was
88
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.000
outside of Wellington, Washington Now. It hit the train depot,
89
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.480
a passenger's drain. It was stopped there. It was because
90
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.399
it couldn't go any farther due to heavy snow. Well
91
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.319
the avalanche hit the train, knocked it off the track,
92
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.439
and sent it down to the valley floor way would
93
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.839
look Ninety six people were killed somehow, twenty three survived.
94
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.439
Nineteen thirty two, the most famous kidnapping in US history
95
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.360
took place. The twenty month year old son of pilot
96
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.160
Charles Lindberg was taken from the family home in New Jersey. Now.
97
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.639
They found the little boy dead about in May, so
98
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.720
it was about four miles from the house. Now, this
99
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.360
guy named Bruno Hopman, he ended up being convicted and
100
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.839
executed for the crime. Now I claimed he was innocent
101
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.160
the entire time. But in one of the biggest cases
102
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.240
in the history of the country. Yeah, the thirties were
103
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.600
pretty happy was closed. But it didn't take long for
104
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.720
people researching the case. Yeah, things didn't match up. They
105
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.439
pretty much unanimously came to the conclusion that Bruno he
106
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.839
probably didn't do that. Yeah, it did. It didn't make
107
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.800
any sense. Then about a year or so ago, some
108
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.079
evidence the light that might solve the crime, but they
109
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.319
just can't prove it because of all everybody being dead.
110
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.600
But it's kind of a turns everything on its head. See,
111
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.800
it looks like Lindberg might have set that whole thing up.
112
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.399
See that little boy was actually born with birth defects
113
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.839
and Lindburg couldn't handle that sickly kid. So it'll be
114
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.560
interesting to see how it plays out when if they're
115
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.879
able to prove that or not. But if you have
116
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.800
a trivia, we have Bruno Hopman is the one who
117
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.920
actually committed the crime. Right now, nineteen thirty six, the
118
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.199
Hoover Dam was completed two years ahead of schedule. That
119
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.560
damn it created Mead Lake. Two people are one hundred
120
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.000
I'm sorry. One hundred and twelve people were killed building
121
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.319
Hoover Dam. Now the first person killed was an engineer.
122
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.560
The one hundred and twelfth and last person killed was
123
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.040
his son. Nineteen forty one, the first FM radio station
124
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.519
went on the air and he guesses Nashville, Tennessee joke,
125
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:56.040
