00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:12.960
Hi, I am Jeff, and welcome to history. In fact,

2
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.679
it's about today present in Bay cool Media Day's November

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:16.199
the fourth.

4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:22.920
Common sense, Ain't that coming anymore? Seems common sense is

5
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:29.600
past tense, just like the dying soul. Political correctness is

6
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:35.159
God a lot to answerables. Common sense ain't that coming anymore?

7
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:36.759
Today?

8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.320
Is National common Sense Day? Now, it's every November fourth,

9
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.399
not just because it's before the election. Now we celebrate

10
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.600
common sense today because it's Will Roger's birthday. We'll talk

11
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.039
about him later on in the show. Will was once

12
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.799
quoted for saying, common sense, ain't that coming? A common sense?

13
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.640
It is inherent in all of us. It's to help

14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.359
us from making bad decisions and avoiding danger. But dude,

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.400
the popular culture, social media woke political correctness. A large

16
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.000
number of people don't use their common sense today. They

17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.040
rather give in to peer pressure. Today, make a starting

18
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.560
point and trusting yourself, use your common sense, you know,

19
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.959
do what you think is right. Believe in yourself and

20
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:17.920
don't give it damn what other people think. You'll be

21
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
happier and safer. All right, this is going on and

22
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.879
entertainment on November fourth, Let's beat your nineteen ninety one.

23
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.799

start in it all right.

33
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.319
What happened on November the.

34
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.879
Fourth, sixteen forty six, Massachusetts the enacting a law that

35
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.439
if you denied that the Holy Bible was the Word

36
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.199
of God, yeah, you would be executed. Eighteen forty one.

37
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.560
Now this was before gold was found out there. The

38
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.319
first wagon train arrived out in California. It had left Missouri,

39
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.400
took about five and a half months to travel at

40
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.919
seventeen hundred and thirty miles and across the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

41
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.479
Now they arrived in northern California. See they weren't. This

42
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.680
was the first wagon train. So yeah, there weren't any

43
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.719
cities in towns yet. Eighteen forty five the first election

44
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.439
day was held. That was on the first Tuesday after

45
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.960
the first Monday in November. It had been that way

46
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.439
ever since, this kind of chaotic before eighteen sixty two,

47
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.439
in Indianapolis, inventor Richard Gatling, he invented a hand crake

48
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.879
machine gun called it the Gatling Gun. Now, I got

49
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.840
the whole dial from an invention he made for planning

50
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.439
Seeds eighteen seventy nine and Dayton, Ohio. James Riddy, he

51
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.960
owned a saloon. He ended up venting the world's first

52
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.560
cast register. He's trying to keep his bartenders from stealing

53
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.080
from him. All The cast register worked so well, he

54
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.039
sold his bar and just sold cash registers.

55
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.120
He called them Riddy's Incruptible Cashier. And Egypt.

56
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.400
In nineteen twenty two, Howard Carter he discovered the unopened

57
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.240
tomb of the pharaoh Tuton Common. Now, I wasn't allowed

58
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.360
to open it, so he had to wait until this guy,

59
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.120
Lord Carnavon. Yeah, he's the guy who financed the whole thing.

60
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.280
They had to wait for him to get here, so

61
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.879
he had to just sit there for three weeks while

62
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.960
he was coming from England. So I guess we'll have

63
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.719
to wait till November twenty sixth to see if they

64
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:03.000
find anything. Nellie Ross and Wyoming and Miriam Ferguson in

65
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.599
Texas were elected governor of their states today. Now Nelly,

66
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.439
she will be sworn in one day before Miriam, so

67
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.759
Nelly and Wyoming get credit for having the first female

68
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.560
governor in the United States today. In nineteen seventy eight,

69
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.959
Iranian army soldiers opened fire on anti Shah student protesters

70
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.240
outside of Tehran University. Nineteen seventy nine, in Tehran, over

71
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.959
five hundred college students raided and took over the United

72
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.279
States embassy. Took ninety hostages, but they released those who

73
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.040
were sick and those who were black, now fifty two

74
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.079
US hostages. They were held for four hundred and forty

75
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.120
four days. The students they were loyal to Ayatola Commane

76
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.680
and they blamed the United States for supporting the former

77
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.560
Shah of Iran. When the Shah was overthrown, he came

78
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.879
to the United States for cancer treatment. The students wanted

79
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.639
him brought back to Iran so they could execute him

80
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.079
before he died from the cancer. Did I tell you

81
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.680
