00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.800
Well, hi, I am Jeff, and welcome to history in
2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.320
factor it is about today presented about cool meeting. Today's
3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.320
October the fourteenth, oh.
4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:24.800
Columb the Silvii Ocean in forty two with the Nina
5
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:30.640
and the Pinta and the Santa Maria too.
6
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.039
Today is Columbus Day. Now, Columbus, he didn't sell trying
7
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.200
to prove that the world was round. The Greeks actually
8
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.200
proved that one thousand years earlier. Columbus he intended to
9
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.359
chart a western sea route to the Spice Islands, China
10
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.000
and India. Not going west would be easier than sailing
11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.159
around Africa now instead of landing over there on the
12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.600
forest repuland in the Bahamas. You know that he wasn't
13
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.600
the first person here. We know the Vikings they'd gotten
14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.479
here about five hundred years before columb New York City
15
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.200
in seventeen ninety two they celebrated the first Columbus Day.
16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.159
It was the third hundredth anniversary of him finding the
17
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.079
New World. Now, although Columbus he sailed for Spain, he
18
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.280
was actually Italian. So today it's actually more less about
19
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.560
Columbus and more about kind of an Italian pride, kind
20
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.799
of celebration became a federal holiday in nineteen thirty seven.
21
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.959
It's the second Monday in October. Now, he has always
22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.159
been kind of a controversial guy. I mean, he was
23
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.040
kind of an ass and he gets the blame for
24
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.159
opening up the door to the a loud Europeans to
25
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.640
come over and take over the American's indigenous people. It's
26
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.480
not a holiday, but lots of people nowadays they're celebrating
27
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.799
National Indigenous People's Day, been doing it since the nineteen seventies.
28
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.040
They want you to celebrate the people that were here,
29
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.239
but for the Europeans ever got here. So today, whether
30
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.480
you want to celebrate Italian or you want to celebrate
31
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.560
the indigenous people, probably put him together. It work the best.
32
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.719
Just have fun celebrating today and for some of you
33
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.959
enjoy your day off. Unless he's going on in entertainment
34
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.319
on October the fourteenth, Let's back to your nineteen ninety
35
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.159
eight them one album was The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
36
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.879
by Lauren Hill. Monica had the number one song with
37
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.439
the first night because.
38
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.039
He's on the stage, couldn't it go? The stays on
39
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.080
my mind at the ends of the night.
40
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:27.439
I had to decide, I was saying again, but the install.
41
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.400
On their side. Tim McGraw heard the number one country
42
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.240
song with Where the Green Grass Grows.
43
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.960
Another sufferer from a sack a ninety nine cent heart attack.
44
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.599
I got a pounding in and he came back from
45
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.319
the campos serried and a big straw stack.
46
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.520
I'm on then, Where the green Grass Grows?
47
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.000
Watching my corn pops then rose every nine.
48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.479
Beat Chuck Jim Coast. The number one book was Back
49
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.120
of Bones by Stephen King. The top movie was Practical Magic.
50
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.479
Two sisters who are witches. They face a curse that
51
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.599
prevents them from ever finding true love.
52
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:08.280
S A.
53
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.680
Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and Stockard Channing. Oh what happened
54
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.680
on October the fourteenth? You remember the Puritans? But they
55
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.280
fled England because they were being persecuted for their religious police.
56
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.560
All they wanted was religious freedom and tolerance. So they
57
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.919
came to the New World and settled in Massachusetts. That's
58
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.520
some nice little colonies. Sixteen fifty six. The Puritans, they
59
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.919
banned all Quakers from being there. Yep, they ran them
60
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.680
right out of Massachusetts. And then they proclaimed that any
61
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.599
Quaker who returned would have his gear cut off, and
62
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.039
if they came back again, they'd cut off the other ear.
63
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.199
And they said, if they still come back a third time,
64
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.960
we're gonna bore a hole through your tongue with a
65
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.960
red hot iron. That didn't go over so good, see,
66
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.080
so they recanted that. They just said, now, if you
67
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.960
come back a third time, will this kill you? Nineteen
68
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.199
twelve in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Teddy Roosevelt he was walking up
69
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.599
to give a space when John Shrink shot him right
70
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.960
in the chest. The bullet went through Teddy's glasses, a
71
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.199
copy of his speech, and then lodged in his chest. Well, Teddy,
72
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.120
he was bleeding pretty bad. He went up on stage
73
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.400
and gave that ninety minute speech. After that he went
74
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.159
to the hospital. Doctors thought removing it would actually cause
75
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.159
more damage than just leaving in there. So Teddy he
76
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.680
lived the rest of his life with that bullet in
77
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.959
his chest. Asked for mister Shrank. He said that he
78
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.319
did it because William McKinley, his ghost, told him to
79
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.519
shoot Teddy Roosevelt. So what happened after that, Well, they
80
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.160
got a whole bunch of experts together, came to some conclusion.
81
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.399
They decided that Shrank he was actually insane, so he'd
82
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.040
just spent the rest of his life in an institution.
83
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.120
Nineteen twenty six, the book Winnie the Pooh went on sale. Now,
84
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.800
by nineteen forty seven, pilots they had broken the sound
85
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.680
barrier in their airplanes, but they always had to do
86
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.279
it in a dive. Chuck Yeger today became the first
87
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.759
one to actually do it well on a level flight
88
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.560
the sound barrier. That's mock one in seven air in
89
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.680
sixty seven miles an hour nineteen sixty two, two Air
90
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.199
Force jets they photographed Soviet Union missile launchers being built
91
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.480
in Cuba started the whole Cuban missile crisis. So I
92
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.360
guess we have to listen to see what happens now.
93
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.879
When they ranked the best singing of the national anthem
94
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.800
all time, yeah, Waitney Houston, she always was ranked first
95
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.399
for when she sang her version before the Super Bowl
96
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.000
in nineteen ninety two. The number two version is pretty
97
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.480
unanimous to its Linda Ronstad she sang it today in
98
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.199
nineteen seventy seven and Dodger Stadium in before Game three
99
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:53.600
of the World Series. Now, afterwards she really got criticized
100
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.240
for it. Not the singing you could hear she did
101
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.240
a really good job on it. She got raked over
102
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.439
the coals for how she dressed. Yeah, a lot of
103
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.560
people took as I think it was actually kind of cool.
104
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.399
So what she did is she just walked up there
105
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.560
barefoot and jeans and the Dodger's warm up jacket and
106
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.720
let her rippjp.
107
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.040
CO joke Jake show dish shibirth Day, please on pause.

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.120
