00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:22.109
Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to History and Factoids

2
00:00:22.129 --> 00:00:28.489
About Today. Today's September the 11th. Have you forgotten how

3
00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:32.350
it felt that day to see.

4
00:00:31.629 --> 00:00:37.289
Your homeland under fire and her people blown away? Have

5
00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:45.009
you forgotten when those towers fell, we had neighbors still

6
00:00:45.049 --> 00:00:46.969
inside going through a little?

7
00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:52.590
It has been 25 years since that horrific terrorist attacks

8
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:55.570
on the World Trade Center's the Pentagon in Flight 93. Now,

9
00:00:56.289 --> 00:00:58.530
it's not because we don't care. Of course, our thoughts

10
00:00:58.579 --> 00:01:00.679
and prayers go out with all those affected by the

11
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.120
Islamic terrorist attacks. And we definitely do not want to

12
00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:06.599
forget those who were killed and their families. But there

13
00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:08.700
is just so much coverage of it going on today.

14
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.159
And a lot of it's going to be better than

15
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.439
what we could do. So we're going to just give

16
00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:13.400
you a break from the 9-11 coverage today and just

17
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.239
talk about what else happened on September the 11th. Let's

18
00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:19.439
start off in entertainment. See what happened on September 11th

19
00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:23.079
in 2017. Number one album was Science Fiction by Brand New.

20
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.519
Louis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, Justin Bieber. They had the number

21
00:01:26.579 --> 00:01:48.739
one song with Despacito. Sam Hunt had the number one

22
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.480
country song with Body Like a Back Road.

23
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:58.310
The number one movie was Kingsman, The Golden Circle.

24
00:02:16.250 --> 00:02:19.669
The Kingsmen, their headquarters are destroyed. Now a secret U.S.

25
00:02:19.689 --> 00:02:21.710
spy agency teams up with them to go after a

26
00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:25.189
common enemy. They did it. Stars Taron Eberton, Colin Firth,

27
00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:28.539
and Mark Strong. Let's see what happened on September the 11th.

28
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.539
In 1503, Michelangelo began sculpting the Twelve Apostles. Yeah, for

29
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.620
the cathedral on Flores. Now the oversized marble statues would

30
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.439
be of Jesus' apostles. So why haven't you heard of it? Well,

31
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:43.689
only one of them, that's St. Matthew, was partially finished. Yeah, Michelangelo,

32
00:02:43.729 --> 00:02:46.930
he got a little too busy Casimir Polanski, he was

33
00:02:46.969 --> 00:02:49.530
a Polish army officer, got into a little trouble over

34
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:51.569
there in Poland. Not only was he kicked out of

35
00:02:51.590 --> 00:02:53.569
the Polish army, he was told to leave Poland and

36
00:02:53.629 --> 00:02:56.030
never come back. So he came to the United States.

37
00:02:56.090 --> 00:02:59.090
He joined a fight for the American independence against Britain.

38
00:02:59.770 --> 00:03:01.830
He formed the United States Cavalry. So they made him

39
00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:05.389
a general. Then today in 1777, it was at the

40
00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:08.719
Battle of Brandywine out there in Pennsylvania. The British were

41
00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:12.060
just kicking the United States butt big time. Everything seemed lost.

42
00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:14.699
Then at the last second, Polanski, he showed up in

43
00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:17.500
his horse, he rode in, grabbed General George Washington and

44
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.219
got him out of the battle and into safety. So,

45
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.539
pretty impressive, huh? Not a lot said about the Polish

46
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.090
cavalry officer saving George Washington's life. Well, see, at the time,

47
00:03:26.449 --> 00:03:28.289
they thought it made George sound weak, so they didn't

48
00:03:28.310 --> 00:03:31.689
want it out there. Now, when you think about the

49
00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:34.830
presidential cabinet, you know, the members, kind of, I think

50
00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:36.490
of them anyway as a bunch of, like, yes guys,

51
00:03:36.930 --> 00:03:39.159
who just kind of do whatever the president wants. Well,

52
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.050
in 1841, President John Tyler, he vetoed a banking bill.

53
00:03:43.469 --> 00:03:45.909
His entire cabinet, except for the Secretary of State, they

54
00:03:45.930 --> 00:03:48.830
resigned in protest. Now, he never said he was sorry,

55
00:03:48.849 --> 00:03:52.150
and they never came back to work. So, now, who

56
00:03:52.169 --> 00:03:54.430
do you think, who would you agree with this? I mean,

57
00:03:54.490 --> 00:03:57.699
Congress and the cabinet, they wanted to create the Fed,

58
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.460
you know, the Federal Reserve. Well, Tyler, he didn't want that. So,

59
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.159
I know the Federal Reserve has been in the news

60
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.810
a lot lately, and I'm saying, well, he vetoed it

61
00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:09.189
in 1841. Yeah, well, the Federal Reserve, it actually did

62
00:04:09.229 --> 00:04:13.189
become law in 1913 under Wilson. Get this. One year later,

63
00:04:13.210 --> 00:04:17.089
Wilson said he kind of regretted signing it ever since. Yeah,

64
00:04:17.129 --> 00:04:18.850
as soon as he signed it. So that's how the

65
00:04:18.889 --> 00:04:21.069
Federal Reserve came to be. Kind of a boring topic,

66
00:04:21.089 --> 00:04:24.290
but hey. Let's do some car racing. In Wisconsin in 1903,

67
00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:29.129
the Milwaukee Mile race tracker opened up. First race, William Jones,

68
00:04:29.170 --> 00:04:30.990
he won the five-mile race. So I guess it must

69
00:04:31.009 --> 00:04:34.040
have been five laps around. Today, the Milwaukee Mile, yeah,

70
00:04:34.060 --> 00:04:38.199
it's the oldest speedway in the world. 1909, a German astronomer,

71
00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:41.120
his name was Max Wolf. He discovered a comet. He

72
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.899
was so proud of himself. He was telling everybody. He

73
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.740
was bragging to the media all about it. Finally, the

74
00:04:46.779 --> 00:04:51.639
other astronomers got together and said, hey, dumbass, that's Halley's Comet. 1939,

75
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.339
the British submarine Triton. It torpedoed and sank the British

76
00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.000
submarine Oxley. They didn't let that out until after World

77
00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:00.839
War II was over. 1941, construction began on the Pentagon.

78
00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:04.269
Look at this. It was completed by January 1943. Yeah,

79
00:05:04.300 --> 00:05:06.860
the world's largest office building. Not the tallest, the biggest.

80
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.500
It's like 6.6 million square feet. But a building over

81
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.000
in India, it's going to be bigger. It's going to

82
00:05:12.019 --> 00:05:14.060
be like 7 million square feet. Probably a call center.

83
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.709
Japan's prime minister for most of their part in World

84
00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:21.350
War II was Hideki Tojo. In 1945, he attempted to

85
00:05:21.389 --> 00:05:23.430
commit suicide to keep from having to go on trial

86
00:05:23.449 --> 00:05:25.750
for war crimes. Now, he was at his house.

87
00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:26.589
The U.S.

88
00:05:26.629 --> 00:05:29.009
Army soldiers, they surrounded him. As they were getting ready

89
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.939
to go in and arrest him, they heard a gunshot.

90
00:05:31.389 --> 00:05:33.550
So they broke down his door and raced inside. And

91
00:05:33.610 --> 00:05:35.610
there he was, standing in the hallway, holding a gun,

92
00:05:36.009 --> 00:05:37.509
bleeding from a chest wound. And he screamed out, I

93
00:05:37.569 --> 00:05:40.250
am Tojo. Then he just collapsed right there in the hall.

94
00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:43.089
So the soldiers, they picked him up. They moved him

95
00:05:43.129 --> 00:05:45.379
to a couch. They went and got a doctor. Now

96
00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:47.750
they were able to save his life. Tojo, he was

97
00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:51.439
hung for war crimes three years later. 1970, all the

98
00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:55.300
cool kids. Now they were a really even cooler. Yeah,

99
00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:58.620
the Ford Pinto went on sale. Cost two grand. Now

100
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.439
that would be $ 16, 600 today. Now get this, the average

101
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.959
price for a new car today is $ 48, 000. So would

102
00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:08.819
you spend $ 16, 600 for a brand new car, even if

103
00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:11.060
the gas tank might explode? I don't know, pretty good deal.

104
00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:15.889
Now a lot of these kids probably drove for it, Pintos. 1977,

105
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.600
the Atari video game system went on sale, $ 199. Now

106
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.699
you had eight different games you could buy, but the

107
00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:26.699
game Combat, it came with the system when you bought it. 1978, Birmingham, England,

108
00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:29.519
Janet Parker. She was the last person to die from smallpox.

109
00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:33.649
She actually caught it in a laboratory. Now, we forget

110
00:06:33.689 --> 00:06:36.850
about this one, sadly. Yeah, this was a really bad day, too.

111
00:06:36.990 --> 00:06:40.170
In 2012, the United Embassy out there in Maghazi, Libya,

112
00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:43.480
it was stormed, looted, and burned. Yeah, five Americans were killed,

113
00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:48.360
including the ambassador. The cover-up really makes it sickening. 2023,

114
00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:50.740
a Vincent Van Gogh painting that he painted in 1884

115
00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:53.490
had been stolen. It got returned today. Yeah, in an

116
00:06:53.550 --> 00:07:00.079
Ikea bag. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, shawty.

117
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:01.579
It's your birthday.

118
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.230
We're going to party like it's your birthday.

119
00:07:04.350 --> 00:07:06.910
We're going to sip a card like it's your birthday.

120
00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:08.329
And you know we don't give up.

121
00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:09.589
Because it's your birthday.

122
00:07:10.189 --> 00:07:13.089
Let's check out who was born on September the 11th.

123
00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:19.279
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me

124
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:28.279
happy when skies are gray. How much I love you.

125
00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:32.420
Please don't take my sunshine away.

126
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.519
That was Jimmy Davis. He was born in Jackson Parish,

127
00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:40.470
Louisiana in 1899. Now he served as Louisiana's governor from

128
00:07:40.470 --> 00:07:45.290
1944 to 1948, then 1960 to 1964. See, in Louisiana

129
00:07:45.329 --> 00:07:47.629
at that time, you couldn't serve back-to-back terms as governors.

130
00:07:47.649 --> 00:07:49.910
You had to take a break in between. So when

131
00:07:49.930 --> 00:07:52.509
Jimmy wasn't governing, he was playing country music. He's even

132
00:07:52.529 --> 00:07:55.699
in the country music hall of fame. He had four

133
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.839
number one songs. 26 other songs went in the top 10.

134
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:00.720
Now that song that I played, You Are My Sunshine,

135
00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:03.160
it is ranked in the top 100 country songs of

136
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.600
all time. He had a son from his first wife.

137
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.610
She was his wife for his first two terms as governor. Yeah,

138
00:08:09.629 --> 00:08:11.610
and then she died in 1967. So he married a

139
00:08:11.610 --> 00:08:14.910
gospel singer in 1969. They were together until Jimmy died

140
00:08:14.930 --> 00:08:37.860
in 2000 at 101 years old. The lead singer for

141
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.360
the Buckinghams was Dennis Tufano. He's 80 years old. He

142
00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:44.610
was born in Chicago. Now the Buckinghams, they were pretty

143
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.139
big in the late 60s. Now, everybody in the band

144
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:50.139
was actually American. They named themselves the Buckinghams, and they

145
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.620
wanted to sound British. You know, with that British invasion

146
00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:54.330
going on over here, they said, you know, let's sound British.

147
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:57.690
What the hell? Well, their hits were Kind of a Drag,

148
00:08:57.850 --> 00:09:01.090
You Don't Care, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, Hey Baby, they're playing

149
00:09:01.110 --> 00:09:03.230
our song. Now, the Buckinghams, they were pretty much done

150
00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:07.049
by 1970. Dennis, he got married for the first time, 2021. So, yeah,

151
00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:10.789
you can do the math. Actress Amy Madigan is 76.

152
00:09:10.789 --> 00:09:14.629
She was born in Chicago in 1950. In the early 1970s,

153
00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:16.720
she was in a band. So to promote it, she

154
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.659
posed for pictures for Playboy. She was wearing only jelly. Yep,

155
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.000
just jelly. That was covering her body. See, the band

156
00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:26.179
was called Jelly. Well, it didn't really work, so she

157
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.759
went into acting. She played Kevin Costner's wife in the

158
00:09:28.779 --> 00:09:30.539
movie Feel the Dreams. Then she was nominated for an

159
00:09:30.669 --> 00:09:33.110
Oscar for twice in a lifetime. She was also in

160
00:09:33.149 --> 00:09:36.610
Streets of Fire, Uncle Buck. In 1983, she married actor

161
00:09:36.669 --> 00:09:39.269
Ed Harris. They have a daughter. As a joke, do

162
00:09:39.289 --> 00:09:41.190
you think Ed's friends kind of leave bars of jelly

163
00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:41.690
around his house?

164
00:09:43.850 --> 00:09:45.230
Is it any wonder?

165
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.590
That was Tommy Shaw singing for the band Styx. Tommy, 73.

166
00:10:06.570 --> 00:10:09.549
He was born in Montgomery, Alabama. Yeah, he's mostly known

167
00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:12.470
for playing his guitar. Yeah, Dennis DeYoung, he sang most

168
00:10:12.490 --> 00:10:14.990
of the big Styx songs and all that. But Tommy,

169
00:10:15.049 --> 00:10:17.830
he did get to sing on Blue Collar Man, Renegade,

170
00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:21.860
Fooling Yourself. Now, Tommy, he's still with Styx. Dennis DeYoung,

171
00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:24.860
he's not. And they're out on tour, well, pretty much

172
00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:27.730
the beginning of December, if you want to go see Styx. Tommy,

173
00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:30.289
he was also in the all-star band Damn Yankees. He

174
00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:32.240
had a daughter from a second wife, married his third

175
00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:36.259
wife in 2000. Actress Virginia Madsen was born in Chicago,

176
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.720
and she's 65. Her first movie was Class, then Dune, Candyman,

177
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.580
The Rainmaker. She was nominated for an Oscar for Sideways.

178
00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:47.669
She dated actor Antonio Zimbardo Jr. for five years. They

179
00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:51.809
had a son. Then she married her second husband in 2020.

180
00:10:51.809 --> 00:10:55.639
Retired actress Christy McNichol is 64. Now, she was born

181
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.059
in Los Angeles in 1962. She first got known on

182
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.419
the TV show Family. Then later on, she was on

183
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.159
the sitcom Empty Nest. Her first starring role in a

184
00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:05.399
movie was in Little Darlings. I don't know what she was,

185
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.110
12 or something like that. Then Only When I Laugh,

186
00:11:08.149 --> 00:11:11.009
The Forgotten One. But by 2000, because she started acting

187
00:11:11.049 --> 00:11:12.909
so young, she was pretty burned out. She didn't want

188
00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:16.009
to do acting anymore. So she just retired. Now, she's

189
00:11:16.029 --> 00:11:17.549
come out as gay. She said she's lived with her

190
00:11:17.590 --> 00:11:19.090
partner since the early 1990s.

191
00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:22.090
It had to be you.

192
00:11:24.950 --> 00:11:28.049
It had to be you.

193
00:11:28.789 --> 00:11:34.129
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who.

194
00:11:36.110 --> 00:11:42.269
Could make me be true. Could make me be blue.

195
00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:47.610
Harry Connick Jr. He was born in New Orleans in 1967. 59-year-old.

196
00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:49.330
Started playing the piano when he was three years old.

197
00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:53.360
Started playing the piano in public. Five years old. At

198
00:11:53.419 --> 00:11:54.919
nine years old, he was playing the piano for the

199
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.360
New Orleans Symphony Orchestra. Now, Carl Reiner, he approached him

200
00:11:58.379 --> 00:11:59.720
and wanted him to write some songs for the movie

201
00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.919
When Harry Met Sally. So that's what got Harry Connick Jr.

202
00:12:02.970 --> 00:12:06.090
really famous. It had to be you. Let's call the

203
00:12:06.110 --> 00:12:08.629
whole thing off. I don't get around much anymore. Yeah,

204
00:12:08.649 --> 00:12:11.009
some of those songs that he wrote for Reiner. He's

205
00:12:11.129 --> 00:12:13.230

206
00:12:13.250 --> 00:12:16.350
able to pull that one off. Now, he's done some acting, too.

Through the shadows I can see That the only one

265
00:15:16.289 --> 00:15:20.090
to blame is me Crawling on my knees And I

266
00:15:20.129 --> 00:15:26.370

267
00:15:26.470 --> 00:15:31.720

268
00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:37.840
up and put my feet back on the ground I'm

269

After all this time, you were always right there at

275
00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:19.429
my door. Well, there's clouds hanging over me with no

276
00:16:19.470 --> 00:16:23.909
daylight that I can see. And I must confess that

277
00:16:23.950 --> 00:16:30.720
I just can't do this anymore. Save my soul because

278
00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:35.960
