00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.719
Day so close to Halloween. Maybe
you're supposed to eat that sophisticated chocolate,

9
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.479
but you know what, not all
Halloween candy is chocolate. So I guess

10
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.799
enjoyed some chocolate today. So it's
going on in entertainment in October twenty eighth.

11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.399
It's back yere. In nineteen sixty
seven, number one album was Diana

12
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.159
Ross and the Supremes The Supremes Lulu. She had the number one song with

14
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:23.439

country song with I Don't want to
play House? I know all the play

16
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:48.599
I know I've watched Mommy and if
that's the wad done. The number one

17
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.719
book was The Gabriel Hounds by Mary
Stewart. The top movie was The Jungle

18
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.000
Book. The Panther and the Bear
have trouble convincing the boy to leave the

19
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.439
jungle and spend time with humans.
It was voiced by Phil Harris, Sebastian

20
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.159
cabint In, Louis Prima. Let's
see what happened in the world On October

21
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.439
twenty eighth, fifteen thirty eight,
on the island of Hespanola, that is

22
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.120
where the Dominican Republic and Haiti yar
today the Spanish they upened the first university

23
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.759
in the New World, University Santo
Thomas Diachino. It closed in eighteen oh

24
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.000
one. Any you like shopping over
at macy'son was today? In eighteen fifty

25
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.599
eighth, the first rh macy store
opened up on Sixth Avenue in New York

26
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.199
City. Sales on that first day
eleven dollars and six cents. Now,

27
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.879
when Grover Cleveland was the governor in
New York, he vetoed the bill that

28
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.240
would have New York pay for the
pedestal that the Statue of Liberty was supposed

29
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.479
to stand on, so they had
to have all kinds of fundraisers and they

30
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.439
had. Yeah, they basically had
to pay for the pedestal through private funds.

31
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.039
In eighteen eighty six, Grover Cleveland
was now the President of the United

32
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.319
States, and he was all happy
about the opening of the Statue of Liberty,

33
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.599
like he actually did something for it. But he did dedicate the Statue

34
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.680
of Liberty when it opened. Today, now New York City, they really

35
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.879
celebrated that opening of that staff.
Yeah, they held the first tick or

36
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:07.639
tape parade yesterday. In nineteen nineteen, President Woodrow Wilson he vetoed the Votestead

37
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.840
Act, that meaning that there was
no prohibition of alcohol. But today at

38
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.439
Congress they overwrote his veto, so
prohibition was back on dumbasses all right.

39
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.560
During the Cuban Missile Crisis in nineteen
sixty two, the Soviet Unions Nikita kris

40
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.000
Chef, he announced that the Soviet
Union would disassemble their missile bases that they

41
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.759
had put in Cuba. But to
say face, the United States said had

42
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.360
to say that they did a bunch
of stuff that really didn't matter. Now,

43
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.080
don't you kind of wish our leaders
would do this. Everybody knows how

44
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.599
politically crack and woke college and universities
are. Well get this. In nineteen

45
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.960
ninety three in the country at Columbia, the Colombian president, he was given

46
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.120

47
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.280

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.960
around and moaned them all, I'd
