three thousand years ago. Then at fifteen twenty Herman Cortez

9
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.479
he named the flatbread that they were using tortillas. Now,

10
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.039
they made their way up to the United States in

11
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:01.439
the early nineteen hunders.

12
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.039
Nineteen eighty nine.

00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.920

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.120

00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.919
The number one book was Clear and Present Danger by

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.800
Tom Clancy. Top movie was Black Rain. To New York

35
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.080
City cops, they arrest a violent gang member and now

36
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.400
they have to escort him back to Japan. Stars Michael Douglas,

37
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.840
Andy Garcia and Ken Takamira. Now in Japan, it was

38
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.479
nominated for Best Foreign Film and there Japanese Academy Awards.

39
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.639
All right, what happened on October the seventh. Now we

40
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.199
all know that Christopher Kalumbus never set foot on or

41
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.639
even saw America. But today in his logbooks it shows

42
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.919
that in fourteen ninety too, he actually changed his original course.

43
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.960
Now had he stayed on that course, yeah, he had

44
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.840
to run right into Florida. Fifteen seventy one, the Battle

45
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.879
of Lapento is one of the most important naval battles

46
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.000
in world history, was fought. Now Muslims and Christians. They'd

47
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.080
been fighting since six twenty two. Then by fifteen seventy one,

48
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.639
the Muslims, they were led by the Ottoman Empire, that's

49
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.919
basically in Turkey. Now they controlled pretty much all the

50
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.800
Middle East, North Africa, the Balkans, that's southeast Europe. But

51
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.080
now the Muslims out their site set on Europe and

52
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.000
all of Europe. So Pope Pius a fifth he organized

53
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.199
a coalition of the states in Italy and Spain and

54
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.000
pretty much Austria and Germany and that whole thing to

55
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.840
try and stop them. So the Christians and the muslim

56
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.759
they met off of Greece. Now, the Ottomans they did

57
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.599
not know that the Christians had actually improved their ships. Yeah,

58
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.520
they add a technical advantage there. So the Christian fleet

59
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.479
was led by a twenty four year old he had

60
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.000
Don Juan. Yeah he wasn't a real guy. He was

61
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.240
from Austria. I know naval power, but Usian leaders and officers.

62
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.599
After years of just getting crushed by the Muslims, they're

63
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:04.919
pretty hesitant to go into battle.

64
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.159
Not done one.

65
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.120
He simply said, gentlemen, this is not the time to discuss.

66
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.199
It is time to fight. Then he ordered the attack. Now,

67
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.439
don and the Christians ships put a major.

68
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.720
Butt whooping on the Muslims.

69
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.639
In five hours, over thirty three thousand Muslims were killed,

70
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.360
eight thousand Christians were killed. Now, it would end up

71
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.319
being the deadliest one day battle up until World War One.

72
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.600
So that's a long time ago. Now it was the

73
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.279
last battle that was fought by or powered ships.

74
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:31.519
That's kind of cool.

75
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.639
Now that Ottomans they pretty much lost most of their navy,

76
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.839
so they were really never a power again after that.

77
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.160
Now, get this on the ships for sinking all that.

78
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.680
They ended up getting twelve thousand Christians who were actually

79
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.480
being held as slaves on those ships that were sinking. Now,

80
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.680
before that battle, Pope Pious the Fifth, he and other

81
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.680
paper leaders and Christian leaders and stuff, they asked for

82
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.800
a prayer for all of Europe to try and help

83
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.480
bless the soldiers, and so a lot of the Catholics

84
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.319
they were playing or praying the rosary.

85
00:04:58.639 --> 00:04:59.600
So it worked.

86
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.000
Stop the Muslim and that's why if you're Catholic. Yeah,

87
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.759
October is national Rosary run, so you're supposed to say

88
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.040
the Rosary a lot this month. Seventeen fourteen, Alkma, Netherlands,

89
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.360
one of the biggest riots in the history of the

90
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.199
Netherlands took place. See the citizens they were told that

91
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.879
the government was going to start taxing beer. Yeah, the

92
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.720
people went back crap crazy. Seventeen thirty seven, a cyclone

93
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.720
it hit Calcutta, Indy, came to shore with forty foot waves,

94
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.160
killed over three hundred thousand people. Eighteen oh six, Ralph

95
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.560
Wedgwood in London, England. He invented carbon paper. I don't

96
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.120
know how many of you are old enough to mirror

97
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.959
that stuff. They pretty much stopped using carbon paper in

98
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:36.920
the nineteen eighties.

99
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.160
But he was to go buy it. Yeah, some people

100
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.319
still use it. I don't know what for.

101
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.480
In college football, in nineteen sixteen, Georgia Tech now they

102
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.600
were coached by John Heisman, the guy that the trophy

103
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.199
is named after. Well, they beat Cumberland College two hundred

104
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.600
and twenty two to nothing. That's the most lopsided score

105
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.000
on football history. Nineteen fifty nine Soviet spacecraft Luna three.

106
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.079
It took the first pictures of the back side of

107
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.120
the moon, or the far side of the moon. Some

108
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.759
people call it the dark side of the moon, but

109
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.639
it gets just as my sunlight as the side that

110
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.920
we see now, the two sides of the moon, they

111
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.480
are different in appearance wise. See, the far side of

112
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.079
the moon is really covered in craters of all different

113
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.800
sizes and all that kind of stuff, and the crust

114
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.240
is thicker than the side that we see.

115
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.000
Now.

116
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.160
This record still stands. It was nineteen sixty five and Omaha,

117
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.399
Nebraska at the tenth hole in Miracle Hills golf Course

118
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.759
a fifty mile an hour wind gust. It helped Robert Matira.

119
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.800
He had a four hundred and forty seven yard hole

120
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.800
in one. He has still the longest hole in one

121
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.360
ever hit. Nineteen ninety six, Fox News went on the air,

122
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.160
my dad, most of the people over seven.

123
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.720
You're pretty happy today two thousand and three are No.

124
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.600
Schwarzenegger is elected governor California.

125
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:39.759
Yeah, he served eight years.

126
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.959
Two years ago in twenty twenty three, that's when Nahamas

127
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.360
attacked Israel and a horrible terrorist attack. Now suppose it's

128
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.759
Israel's equivalent to the United States is nine to eleven.

129
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:50.360
Is what it is.

130
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.639
But as today it sounds like what if. According to

131
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.639
Fox News and some others, looks like the fighting might

132
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.000
finally be over. So I guess we'll pay attention for

133
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.160
the next couple of days being kind of dashed for though, joke, dope.

134
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:08.920
Joke, joke joke, show this Shiverthdayle's gonna pause.

135
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.439

138
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:15.800
That's birthday.

139
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:17.439
Check out.

140
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:41.720
It was born in October the seventh to Now I

141
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.439
need a lever. That was the first hit sign that

142
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.120
John Mellencamp ever recorded, released it back in nineteen seventy eight,

143
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.439
but under the name John Cougar. See John. He's seventy

144
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.319
four today. He was born in Seymour, Indiana, nineteen fifty one. Now,

145
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.399
he actually did start out as John Cougar, but his

146
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.879
recording company they didn't like the name Mellencamp at all,

147
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.639
but John like, so as soon as he got big enough,

148
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.279
he changed it to John Cougar Mellencamp and then by

149
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.040

154
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:32.159
