Today is National Watermelon Day. Watermelons are ninety two percent water.

Sure days good though, and they're really healthy for you.

Nile River over in Egypt. Now see this watermelons. They
11
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.159
were created in nineteen thirty nine. What they do is
12
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.719
that flower that's on the vine that becomes a watermelon. Yeah,
13
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.040
they spray that with this mild type of acid. Yeah,
14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.480
make some seedless. Now, eighty five percent of our watermelons
15
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.120
sold in the United States are seedless. Now, if you're

to spit a watermelon seeds seventy five feet. One's able
19
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.640
to be able to break it. Since, So enjoy that
20
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.920

21
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.879

Bays Long, Don't Drive do the Watermelon Cross?
25
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.480
Okay, it was going on in entertainment on August third,
26
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.799
It was about there. In nineteen fifty nine. Number one
27
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.200
album was The Kingston Trio at Large by the Kingston
28
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.640
Trio Paulinka. He had the number one song with Lonely Boy.
29
00:01:52.519 --> 00:02:04.040
I'm just a lonely boy them all alone would not then.
30
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:11.599
I've got everythink.
31
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.759
What all I want.
32
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.520
Is someone too love Stonewall Jackson. He had the number
33
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:32.919
one country song with Waterloo Water, where.
34
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:42.479
Everyone Everybody, Everybody Water.
35
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.840
The number one book was Exodus by Leon URIs. The
36
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.599
top movie was North by Northwest. A business executive. He
37
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.240
has to go on the ruin when he is mistaken
38
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.520
as a government spy. Now foreign spies, they're all after him.
39
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.039
He does fall in love with a woman, but he's
40
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.199
not sure what side she's on. Cary Grant, even Marisaint
41
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.159
and Jean's Mason Starr in it all right? What happened?
42
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.319
On August the third, fourteen ninety two, Columbus sailed that
43
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.479
Ocean Blue Christopher Columbus and he left Spain on his
44
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.639
first voice Today. It was to India. If you remember that. Yeah,
45
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.319
he was on the Santa Maria, the Nina, and the Pentis.
46
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.360
They came along and support ships with men and supplies. Well,
47
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.000
since they didn't make it to India, but you know what,
48
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.759
I don't think I would have either. They got to
49
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.680
hang on in the Bahamas. Now that'd be a lot
50
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.960
better than India. Seventeen ninety seven, Bohemia, it's basically the
51
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.400
Czech Republic today, that whole area with their Emperor Francis.
52
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.360
He was so appreciative that he allowed all Jewish men
53
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.080
who served in his military. Yeah, they can marry any
54
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.120
non Jewish women they wanted. He said, yeah, thanks for
55
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.199
your up. You can marry whoever you want. Now, nineteen fourteen,
56
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.479
the first ship went through the Panama Canal. Now I
57
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.439
wasn't supposed to see the Panama Canal. I won't open
58
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.840
for another twelve more days. But the Christophal they paid
59
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.639
the not some bribe money, they were able to let through. Also,
60
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.639
in nineteen fourteen, World War One, the fighting actually began.
61
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.520
Up until now, there have been a lot of saber rattling,
62
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.479
talking smack people picking sites. Jeremany said enough, they went
63
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.879
and invaded Belgium and declared war on friends. Nineteen twenty
64
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.360
one outside of Troy, Ohio, caterpillars. They were destroying their crops.
65
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.639
No one could figure out what they were going to
66
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.519
do about it. They got this pilot, Jill McGready, and
67
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.160
they hey, they loaded up this plane with pesticides. He
68
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.120
did the world's first crop dustin. It actually surprised everybody
69
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.720
how well it did. Words spread pretty fast about how
70
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.160
good that crop dustin does. Yeah, but nineteen twenty one
71
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.279
won on a lot of planes. Nineteen seventy now her
72
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.519
record still stands. Mariam Hargrove from Yorkshire, England. She finally
73
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.800
passed her driver's desk on the fortieth try so who
74
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.000
would ride with? Well? Who was it? Sure? Nineteen seventy
75
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.439
five in New Orleans, the Super Dome opened up for business.
76
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.879
Cost one hundred and sixty three million dollars to build.
77
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.160
For a perspective, the last two dome stadiums to open
78
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.759
up in Los Angeles in Las Vegas, they were almost
79
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:57.120
four billion dollars each. Nineteen eighty one, thirteen thousand air
80
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.360
traffic controllers went on strike. Now it was actually legal
81
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:01.560
for them to go on strike, but they went on
82
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.439
strike anyway, So President Ronald Reagan he told them they
83
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.120
didn't go back to work in forty eight hours, he'd
84
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.240
fire all of them. Well, he kept his word. He
85
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.319
ended up firing eleven thousand, three hundred and forty five
86
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.920
of them. But not only did he fire him, he
87
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:14.839
banned them from ever being able to work for the
88
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.879
federal government and for the rest of their lives. In
89
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.800
twenty seventeen, in Massachusetts, Michelle Carter she was sentenced to
90
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.319
two and a half years in prison. She was convicted
91
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:30.439
of urging her boyfriend to commit suicide. He did coke.
92
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.079
Joke, shog dish, shiverbirth Day's gonna he left this shibf day.
93
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.800
We won't sit potage. He left this shibirth day.
94
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.720
And you know, we don't give up workday, okay. I
95
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.879
was born on August the third journalist Ernie Pyle. He
96
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.800
was born in Dana, Indiana, in nineteen hundred. Ernie he
97
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.480
was a very popular roving reporter doing interest stories and
98
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.959
all that. Yeah, basically human answer stuff all across the
99
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.839
United States. Yeah, people really loved him. But then when
100
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.680
World War Two start out, he literally covered it from
101
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.120
the front line. The trenches. Yeah, he was side by
102
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.759
side with the US soldiers fighting over there. He told
103
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.800
their stories right from the front lines. So he started
104
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.879
off in the North Africa campaign, then Italy Normandy, he
105
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.319
did that invasion in January nineteen forty five, he went
106
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.519
and covered the fighting over in the Pacific. Now his
107
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.439
stories were printed over four hundred daily newspapers and over
108
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.279
three hundred weeklies. Now his first person perspective of that
109
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.639
war kind of made him a living legend. Really. April seventeenth,
110
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.040
nineteen forty five, he was covering the Battle of Okinawa.
111
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.560
He went on shore with a platoon of Marines on
112
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.560
a little island north of Okinawa. Yeah, the machine gun
113
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.800
got him forty four years old. He left. The widow,
114
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.800
Regina Jonas. She was born in Berlin, Germany, in nineteen
115
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.160
oh two. She was Jewish. In nineteen thirty five, Regina,
116
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.519
she became the first woman ever ordained as a Jewish
117
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.680
rabbi ever. Yeah, and even with all the Nazi prosecution
118
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.519
that was going there, yeah, towards the Jewish people, she
119
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.959
stayed there. Yeah, she believed that she needed to keep
120
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.319
performing her rabbi duties there in the middle of all
121
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.839
that atrocity is going on. Well, the gestape, Well, they
122
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.160
finally got her in nineteen forty four. She was sent
123
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.480
to Auschwitz, the concentration cap and she was immediately executed
124
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.759
forty two years old. Now you'd think Regina, her story
125
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.279
would kind of stop right there. That doesn't. Then it
126
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.680
got lost in history, that's for sure. No one really
127
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.439
knew who anything about her. Then in nineteen seventy two,
128
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.360
this woman named Sally Preessen, she was ordained as a rabbi.
129
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.759
She was considered the first Jewish woman rabbi. But old timers,
130
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.360
they now were scattered all over the place, over the
131
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.319
United States and Israel, and they kept saying, no, there
132
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.120
was a woman over in Germany during the war that
133
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.439
was a rabbi, but no one could prove it. Nineteen
134
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.560
ninety one, after the Soviet Union collapse, people were finally
135
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.399
allowed back in East Germany the first time since the war. Well,
136
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.600
her researcher came across an envelope. On it a read
137
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.600
Regina Jonas. Inside were two pictures of her, her teaching certificate,
138
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.160
her rabbi college diploma, her dissertations, some of her personal papers,
139
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.720
and some of her sermons. So the word. Finally got
140
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.560
to know the first Jewish rabbi yep or female rabbi.
141
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.360
But Regina Jones nuts, she doesn't like.

Sars wdo harlow in Irelands and wild keviny walt dishart

That was Lady Gaga singing with the legendary Tony Bennett.

his singing career really didn't take off until he got
