Let's just see what happened in entertainment in August. Let's
24
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.560

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.120
Gave All by Billy Ray Cyrus Sir Mix a Lot,

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.800
Mark Chesnant had the number one country song with I'll
34
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:19.719
think of something.
35
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:22.599

To, I'll thank you.
39
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.960
The number one book was Gerald's Game by Stephen King Todd.
40
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.840
Move was unforgiven. Retired gunfighter, he takes one last job
41
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.120
is to enough, basically a vengeing and injustice that took place.
42
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.639
We started Clint East to a Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman.
43
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.800
All Right, what happened on August the third fourteen ninety two,
44
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.120
Columbus sailed that ocean blue Christopher Columbus, and he left
45
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.759
Spain on his first voice. Today it was to India,
46
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.560
if you remember that. Yeah, he was on the Santa Maria,
47
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.680
the Nina and the Pentins. They came along and support
48
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.520
ships with men in supplies. Well, since they didn't make
49
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.080
it to India, but you know what, I don't think
50
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:19.479
I would have either. They got to hang out in
51
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.879
the Bahamas. Now that'd be a lot better than India.
52
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.360
Seventeen ninety seven, Bohemia, it's basically the Czech Republic today,
53
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.520
that whole area with their Emperor Francis. He was so
54
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.280
appreciative that he allowed all Jewish men who served in
55
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.240
his military. Yeah, they can marry any non Jewish women
56
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:36.800
they wanted. He said, yeah, thanks for your up. You
57
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.960
can marry whoever you want. Now. Nineteen fourteen, the first
58
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.639
ship went through the Panama Canal. Now I wasn't supposed
59
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.159
to see the Panama Canal. It won't open for another
60
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.840
twelve more days. But the Christophal they paid the not
61
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.000
some bribe money they were able to let through. Also
62
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.960
in nineteen fourteen, World War One, the fighting actually began.
63
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.879
Up until now there have been a lot of saber rattling,
64
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.800
talking smack people picking sites. Germany said enough, they went
65
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.199
and invaded Belgium and declared war on friends. Nineteen twenty
66
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.719
one outside of Troy, Ohio, caterpillars. They were destroying their crops.
67
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.000
No one could figure out what they were going to
68
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.840
do about it. They got this pilot, Jill McReady, and
69
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.520
they Hey, they loaded up his plane with pesticides. He
70
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.519
did the world's first crop dustin. It actually surprised everybody
71
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.040
how well it did. Words spread pretty fast about how
72
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.480
good that crop dustin does. Yeah, but nineteen twenty one
73
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.600
went on a lot of planes. Nineteen seventy now her
74
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.879
record still stands. Mariam Hargrove from Yorkshire, England. She finally
75
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.160
passed her driver's desk on the fortieth try So who
76
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:34.759
would ride with?
77
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:35.000
Well?
78
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.240
Who was in sure? Nineteen seventy five in New Orleans,
79
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.560
the super Dome opened up for business. Cost one hundred
80
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.759
and sixty three million dollars to build. For a perspective,
81
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.360
the last two dome stadiums to open up, Yeah, in
82
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.639
Los Angeles in Las Vegas, they were almost four billion
83
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.360
dollars each nineteen eighty one, thirteen thousand air traffic controllers
84
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.959
went on strike. Now it was actually illegal for them
85
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.639
to go on strike, but they went on strike anyway.
86
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.040
So President Ronald Reagan he told them they didn't go
87
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.879
back to work in forty eight hours, he'd fire all
88
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.959
of them. Well, he kept his word. He ended up
89
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.360
firing eleven, three hundred and forty five of them. But
90
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.120
not only did he fire him, he banned them from
91
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.000
ever being able to work for the federal government and
92
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.399
for the rest of their lives. In twenty seventeen, in Massachusetts,
93
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.120
Michelle Carter she was sentenced to two and a half
94
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.399
years in prison. She was convicted of urging her boyfriend
95
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:26.879
to commit suicide. He did joke, joke, joked, joke, huge
96
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.480
dish Shibbert day. We're gonna parge.
97
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:30.959
He left this shibth day.
98
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.160
We want simple tage.
99
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.800
He like this Shibbert day. And you know we don't
100
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.319

101
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.480
Okay was born on August the third. Journalist Ernie Pyle.
102
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.519
He was born in Dana, Indiana, in nineteen hundred. Ernie
103
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.199
he was a very popular roving reporter doing interest stories
104
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.720
and all that. Yeah, basically human answer stuff all across
105
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.560
the United States. Yeah, people really loved him. But then
106
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.319
when World War Two start out, he literally covered it
107
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.560
from the front line and the trenches. Yeah, he was
108
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.879
side by side with the US soldiers fighting over there.
109
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.879
He told their stories right from the front lines. So
110
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.560
he started off in the North Africa campaign, then Italy, Normandy,
111
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.040
he did that invasion in January nineteen forty five. They
112
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.240
went and covered the fighting over in the Pacific. Now,
113
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.040
his stories were printed over four hundred daily newspapers and
114
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.000
over three hundred weeklies. Now, his first person perspective of
115
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.240
that war kind of made him a living legend. Really.
116
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.199
April seventeenth, nineteen forty five, he was covering the Battle
117
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.839
of Okinawa. He went on shore with a platoon of
118
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.240
Marines on a little island north of Okinawa. Yeah, machine
119
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.279
gun got him forty four years old. They left the
120
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.879
widow Regina Jonas. She was born in Berlin, Germany, in
121
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.639
nineteen oh two. Now she was Jewish. In nineteen thirty five, Regina,
122
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.000
she became the first woman ever ordained as a Jewish
123
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.120
rabbi ever. Yeah, and even with all the Nazi prosecution
124
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.000
that was going there. Yeah, towards the Jewish people. She
125
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.439
stayed there. Yeah, she believed that she needed to keep
126
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.759
performing her rabbi duties there in the middle of all
127
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.560
that atrocity is going on. Well, the Gestapell. They finally
128
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.639
got her in nineteen forty four. She was sent to
129
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.399
ash the concentration cap and she was immediately executed. Forty
130
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.480
two years old. Now you'd think Regina, her story would
131
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.000
kind of stop right there. That doesn't. Then it got
132
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.439
lost in history, that's for sure. No one really knew
133
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.079
who anything about her. Then in nineteen seventy two, this
134
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.759
woman named Sally Preessen, she was ordained as a rabbi.
135
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.759
She was considered the first Jewish woman rabbi. But old
136
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.720
Teimer's they now were scattered all over the place, over
137
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.480
the United States and Israel. Nut they kept saying, No,
138
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.480
there was a woman over in Germany during the war
139
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.079
that was a rabbi, but no one could prove it.
140
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.680
Nineteen ninety one, after the Soviet Union collapse, people were
141
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.959
finally allowed back in East Germany the first time since
142
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.279
the war. Well, her researcher came across an envelope. On
143
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.279
it a read Regina Jonas. Inside were two pictures of
144
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.439
her her teaching certificate, her Rabbi College diploma, her dissertations,
145
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.480
and some of her personal papers and some of her sermons.
146
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.360
So the world finally got to know the first Jewish
147
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.800
rabbi yep or female rabbi. But Regina Jones, Joe Nuts,
148
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:05.040
