00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:22.160
Hi everyone, I am Jeff, and welcome to History and Facto.

2
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.760
It's about today. Today's November the fourth.

3
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:31.000
Common Sense, I ain't that coming anymore, seems common sense

4
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:36.840
is past tense, just like the dying. So let he go.

5
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.920
Correctness is God along to answerble. Just common sense, ain't

6
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.039
that coming anymore? Today? Is national use your common sense

7
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.840
to day. Now we celebrate common sense today because it's

8
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.679
Will Rogers' birthday. Well, he once said that common sense.

9
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.159
It ain't that common anymore. Now, common sense, it's inherent

10
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.240
all of us. It helps us from making bad decision,

11
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.520
It helps us avoid dangers. We don't always use it now,

12
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.519
Dude to peer pressure, popular culture, social media, political correctness.

13
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.359
A lot of people they stop using common sense. Yeah,

14
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.920
just to try and fit in today, you know, start

15
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.000
trusting yourself. Listen to your own common sense out there.

16
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.719
Do what you honestly believe is right. Don't give a

17
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.439
damn what other people thinks. It's amazing how much trouble

18
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:22.920
you can stay out of just by listening to your

19
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.799
own common sense. All right, this is going on in

20
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.920
entertainment on nineteen eighty three. On November, the fourth number

21
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.920
one album was Synchronicity by the Police. Kenny Rogers and

22
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.879
Dolly Parton had the number one song with Islands in

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.400
the Stream.

24
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:52.640
All This Love Please Me, No Conversation that is fun deal,

25
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.439
No want Tweet, How.

26
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.879
Can Leave You? It was a number one country song

27
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:19.560
from the number one book was Poland by James Mitchener.

28
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.240
The top movie was Never Say Never Again James Bond.

29
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.520
He has to recover some stolen nuclear bombs while dealing

30
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.680
with an assassin who was trained specifically to kill him Starr,

31
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.400
Sean Connery, Class, Maria Brandauer and Max Man Sidral. All right,

32
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.280
what happened on November the fourth, sixteen forty six, Massachusetts

33
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.199
they enacted in a law that said that if you

34
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.199
denied the Bible was the word of God, you'd be executed.

35
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.360
Now that law it stood on the books in Massachusetts

36
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.599
until nineteen eighty four. So why'd they take it off. Well,

37
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.120
the state they abolished the death penalty, so they couldn't

38
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.479
have that on there if they didn't have the death penalty. Now,

39
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.599
this was before gold was discovered. It was back in

40
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.199
eighteen forty one. The first wagon train arrived out in California.

41
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.759
It had left Missouri and traveled one thousand seven and

42
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.240
thirty miles in five and a half months, even crossed

43
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.719
over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, arrived in northern California. Today.

44
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.479
It arrived at the ranch of doctor John Marsh by

45
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.400
Mount Diablo. Eighteen forty five, the first national election day

46
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.280
that was uniform across all the states happened, So there

47
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.599
were twenty eight states, and before then they kind of

48
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.639
held elections whenever. But nope, it's all uniform now and

49
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:26.199
we still do it.

50
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:26.840
Yep.

51
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.400
The national elections are always held on the first Tuesday

52
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.240
after the first Monday in November, so your election day

53
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.680
will always be between November the second and the eighth.

54
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.159
In Indianapolis, in eighteen sixty two, Richard Gatlin he invented

55
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.039
the hand cranked Gatland machine gun. Now, I took the

56
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.479
whole concept from a piece of farming equipment. He invented

57
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.439
the plant seeds eighteen seventy nine in Dayton, Ohio, and

58
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.120
James Riddy he owned a bar now in order to

59
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.560
keep his bartender some stealing from him. And then at

60
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.759
the first cast from register. Now that cast register it

61
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.639
worked so well he sold his bar and just sold

62
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.479
cash registers he except he didn't call him gass register

63
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.960
now he called him Riddy's uncorruptible cashier. Nineteen twenty two,

64
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.360
Over in Egypt, Howard Carter he discovered the tomb or

65
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.840
the yeah, the tomb of the Pharaoh Toot in common,

66
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.680
we know him better as just King Tut. Now Howard,

67
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.759
he wasn't allowed to open it though. See this guy,

68
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.279
Lord carnivarn He actually financed old dig so Howard had

69
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:22.800
to wait for him to get their Carnavan whoanted to

70
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.839
be there when they opened it. So basically him and

71
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.600
his workers they just sat there for three weeks so

72
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.680
Carnavan could make it all the way from England. So

73
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.800
I guess we'll wait till November twenty sixth to see

74
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.560
if they found anything inside. Nineteen twenty four, Nellie Ross

75
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.560
and Wyoming and Miriam Ferguson in Texas were both elected

76
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.319
governor of their states. Now Nelly she was sworn in

77
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.360
one day before Miriam. So Nelly and Wyoming they get

78
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.600
credit for from the first female governor in the United States.

79
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.279
It's kind of impressive though, because but when they got elected,

80
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.959
women only had the right to vote for four years

81
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.040
at that time. Nineteen seventy eight, and Iranian army and

82
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.519
troops they started firing on anti Shah student protesters outside

83
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.480
of Tehran University. That led to one ar year later,

84
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.439
nineteen seventy nine, over five hundred college students they raided

85
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.040
and took over the United States embassy in Tehran. They

86
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.800
took ninety hostages. Well, they released all those who were

87
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.600
kind of not in best health, and they released all

88
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.399
the black ones, but fifty two US hostages were held

89
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.639
for four hundred and forty four days. See, the students,

90
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.399
they were loyal to the Ayatolla Comani, and they blamed

91
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.639
the United States for supporting the Shah of Iran, who

92
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.600
they'd overthrown. Now the shy I had come to the

93
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.519
United States for cancer treatment. Now the students they wanted

94
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.480
him brought back to Iran so they could execute him

95
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.680
before he died from the cancer. Common Sense Day nineteen

96
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.199
ninety three in Britain, singer Elton John. He was awarded

97
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.480
five hundred and eighteen thousand, seven hundred bucks from the

98
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:41.000
Sunday Mirror newspaper. In court, they proved that the newspaper lied.

99
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:43.519
The newspaper had run a story all about what Elton

100
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.959
John ate and what his diets consisted of, Well, they

101
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.480
were did wrong. In South Sudan in twenty fifteen, a

102
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.439
passenger jet crashed on takeoff. Thirty seven were killed, one survived.

103
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.600
It was a thirteen year old now. She was found

104
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.839
cradled in her arms of her father. She had a

105
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.120
broken leg that she lived with. Her dad died.

106
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.480
Coked, joked, joke, show dish shibbert day.

silent movies and twenty one talking He was one of

117
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.560
the highest paid actors in the early nineteen thirties. But

118
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.720
he actually had a syndicated newspaper column that went nationwide,

119
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.759
wrote over four thousand columns. He would make humorous political

120
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.120
and social commentary in it. Will once said, I joked

121
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.759
about every prominent man in my lifetime, but an never

122
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.480
man I didn't like. He was an active guy. He

123
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.199
traveled the world three times. Then in nineteen thirty five,

124
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.360
when he was fifty five years old, Will was flying

129
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.680

132

He married his high school sweetheart and they had three children,

134
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.120

140
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.879

141
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.639
think most of us know her best for playing the

mom on the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. She was Clark's

143

145
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.519
