00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.240
Hello everybody. I am Jeff,
and we welcome to History and Facto.

2
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.359
It's about today, presented by Cool
Media. Well you made it. It

3
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.280
is Friday, well unless you have
to work weekends. If you work weekends,

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.280
and I guess Friday is actually kind
of it's humpy. So whether you

5
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.440
have to work or you can enjoy
it, I hope you all have a

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.239
great weekend. Now it's supposed to
be cold and rainy here in Colorado all

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.960
weekend, so it's kind of funny
about people's perception. It kind of changes

8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.600
throughout the years. Just three months
ago, everybody hoped and prayed for days

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.359
this warm. Now today's every y
all bummed out because it's not going to

10
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.119
get over sixty degrees. I guess
that's just a reminder to enjoy every day

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.960
for what it is. All right, to our listeners down south in Mexico,

12
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.280

34
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.800

00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:51.360

36
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.680
I gott uncol Crush. The number
one book was Gathering Prey by John Stanford.

37
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.840
The top movie was The Avengers Age
of Ultron. The Avengers They have

38
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:07.840
to stop Ultron from enacting a villainous
plot on Earth stars Robert Downey Jr.

39
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.719
Chris Evans and Mark Rufflu All Right, what happened to the world? On

40
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.680
May the tenth, fifteen oh eight, Michelangelo he started painting the ceiling of

41
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.000
Thes Sisteine Chapel. They'll finish it
in fifteen twelve. Seventeen seventy five,

42
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.039
the Green Mountain Boys, led by
Ethan Allen, with a little help from

43
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.639
Bennedict Donold, they were able to
capture Fort Tech, Conderoga and Upper New

44
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.719
York. Yeah, it was a
British fort. It's one of the first

45
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.879
fights the Americans actually won. Eighteen
sixty five, Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

46
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:38.120
He was captured by Union troops in
Irwinville, Georgia. Now he was held

47
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.560
in jail for two years, but
he never went to trial. No,

48
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.400
he was released before then. See, the United States they didn't want to

49
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.199
put Jefferson Davis on trail. See
if they did, it would have come

50
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.840
out that he and the South really
didn't do anything illegal. See, there

51
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.599
was nothing in the Constitution that said
the States couldn't succeed. So with the

52
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.400
Union and they went to trial,
it could come out and the Union could

53
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.479
be blamed actually for starting the war, for letting this out. To see,

54
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.080
they didn't want to open that can
of worb, so they just told

55
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:08.840
Jefferson Davis just go away and shut
up. Now this is actually fake news.

56
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.240
Eighteen sixty nine, the trans Continental
Railroad was completed. It had a

57
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.959
big ceremony where they drove in that
golden spike, you know, the last

58
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.160
spike that completed the coast to coast
railroad out Promontory Point in Utah. Then

59
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.600
they took the spike out and it's
in a museum now. But it's all

60
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.319
a lie. Everyone thought. Now
you could take one train from one coast

61
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.560
to the other. Not so.
There was not a bridge over the Missouri

62
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.720
River in Nebraska, so passengers still
had to get off the train, grab

63
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.360
all their bags, take it onto
a ferry, and then get on another

64
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:43.360
train. Now, it wasn't until
August of eighteen seventy when the final spike

65
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.720
was actually driven in Strasburg, Colorado. Then you could actually ride from coast

66
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.000
to coast on one train. You
know what. Let's talk about boxing.

67
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:56.160
It was eighteen seventy Britain's Jim Mace
He was defending his heavyweight championship title against

68
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.279
an Irish champion named Joe Corburn.
The fight lasted one hour and seven ten

69
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.680
minutes and they called it a draw. Neither fighter landed a punch. Eighteen

70

Richard, he had to fire and
when Williams took after him with a gun.

Say Williams, he was a major

a gunshot wounded the head. That
was in nineteen eighty when he was forty

116
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:18.560
four years old. Leave me understand
the vision of your mind. But I'm

117
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.759
so afraid the girl you find may
not need a man. Like me,

118
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:35.320
I Don't I Love You? That

founded the Dominoes. Then they changed

121
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.960
their name to the Spinners. Henry
he really didn't sing lead very often though,

122
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.679
he was more of their baritone singer. He did see ling on that

123
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.360

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.279
song, hip that one Another Day. You know what. It didn't even

151
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.440
chart anywhere in the world, but
that's okay. They've sold one hundred and

152
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.000
seventy five million record since. Of
course, their elite singer as Bono.

153
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.120
He was born Paul Houston in Dublin
Island in nineteen sixty sixty four. Today

154
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.879
you got the name Bono when he's
about fourteen or fifteen. He didn't give

155
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.879
it to himself. The boys on
the street gave it to him. It's

156
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.759
Latin for good voice now at Bono. He was going to school. He

157
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.559
responded to a flyer that he saw
on a billboard or a bulletin. It

158
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.759
asked for guys who wanted to start
a band. Valley went and they met

159
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.399
and they started their band. They
called themselves the Hype. Then they switched

160
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.080
it to YouTube. Now Bono.
He actually started out as a guitar player,

161
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.080
but he sucks so bad with playing
the guitar that they've made him sing

162
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.960
so he wouldn't play guitar. Well, I'll talk about dumb luck. That

163
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.000
worked out really well. Bono.
He has written the lyrics PREI much every

164
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.200
song they have. He got married
in nineteen eighty two and they have two

165
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.559
sons and two donners. Now.
The main reason you never see Bono not

166
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.039
wearing tinted glasses or sunglasses. He's
got glaucoma. Wolves by you wish he

167
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.159
could sect up for standing on the
wall that you was pointing dextu. Next

168
