00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.280
World War Two. It is also the motto of the

and Jeraldine Page. Al Right, what happened on April the fifth?

46
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.000
Pokahont Is. She was the daughter of a Native American

47
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.719
Indian chief named Pohatan. She fell in love with an

48
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.719
American and English settler. His name was Johnson. Then she

49
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.759
was wrongly told the smith had died. So today in

50
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.080
sixteen fourteen, she married another Englishman named John Rolfe. It's

51
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.039
the first recorded marriage of a Native American in a European.

52
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.360
Seventeen twenty two Dutch explorer Jacob Brockavin him and his crew. Yeah,

53
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.759
they were the first Europeans to find Easter Island. Now

54
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.599
they named it Easter Island because they found it on

55
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:19.319
Easter Sunday.

56
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:20.080
Wow.

57
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.280
The locals they just call it Rapa Nui. Now those

58
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.240
big statues over there, the Moaii, they really freaked out

59
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.080
those Europeans. Seventeen ninety two President George Washington. He is

60
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.479
the first ever presidential veto. Yeah, he shot down a

61
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.680
bill that gave Northern States more seats than the United

62
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:39.360
States House representatives. Nineteen thirty three, Doctor James Gilmour. Now

63
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.240
he knew that he had cancer in one of his lungs.

64
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.319
He also knew that there was no treatment that could

65
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.639
actually save his life. So he got together with this

66
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.719
well known pulmonary doctor. You know, hey, let's try this.

67
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.919
So its day in Saint Louis, doctor Ambrose Graham became

68
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.960
the first doctor everitor move along that work, doctor Gilmour.

69
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.080
He lived cancer free after that. Now I actually have

70
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.560
a couple of these. Nineteen sixty three and Britain Edward Walker.

71
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.879
He invented the lava lamp. But that wasn't his biggest

72
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.080
claim to fame after that a few las. Yeah, he

73
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.800
got really famous for making underwater nudest movies. Don't know

74
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.520
what the connection is on that. Now, Supposedly today, in

75
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.279
twenty sixty three, the people of Earth will make contact

76
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.240

77
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:27.480

he was the first doctor to be really serious about

86
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.360
sterilization when it comes to medicine. You know, he believed

87
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.560
that all surgery should be done in a sterile environment,

88
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.439
and everything should be cleaned and all that kind of stuff.

89
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.240
It really wasn't done back then. Eighteen sixty seven, he

90
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.560
became the first doctor to form surgery using antiseptic. Now

117
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.160
kind of looked the other way. She didn't care. He

118
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.879

119
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.680

We get this back in the day in Hollywood. Here's

133
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.839
some good gossip. Everybody in Hollywood knew that Betty and

134
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.439
actress Joan Crawford absolutely hated each other. Most people wouldn't

135
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.480
even let him in the same room together. But when

136
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.480
Betty found out that Joan Crawford had died, she said,

137
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.600
you never say bad about any person who dies. You

138
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:25.839
always say good. So Joan Crawford's dead. Good actor Gregory
