1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show in Woo Hoo. Indeed,

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: it is time.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: To do history. I will be back with more politics

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: in the final hour, where we're going to talk about

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: the COVID shot information that's coming out another museum. Heighst

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: medical schools are horrible, people are leaving college. I'll get

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: to emails. All that stuff is coming, but it ain't

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: coming right now because it is our two and we

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: are smack dab in the middle of our history on

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: the Rhodesian Bush War. Again reminding you parts one and

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: part two with all kinds of background that was last

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: night in the night before. You gotta go download the

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: podcast if you want that. I think you will find

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: it helpful. Not a requirement at all to understand kind

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: of where we're at now where we pick up today,

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: but I think it would be incredibly helpful. Now, let's

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: talk about the state of Rhodesia. Let's first talk about voting,

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: shall we. I posed a question to you last night

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: at the end of our little history segment. I posed

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: a question to you about us, about our country, your country,

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: my country, Who should be able to vote? And I

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: think we agreed last night that there should be some restrictions. Right.

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: We may disagree on what those restrictions might be. But

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: you don't want ten year olds to have a vote, right.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: You don't want felons sitting in the joint getting ready

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: to go to the electric chair tomorrow. You don't want

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: them to have a vote. Right. You don't want illegals

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: to vote to you. Okay, So no matter what you agree,

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: there should be some restrictions. Now, I'm going to play

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: you something. I know we're doing history, but I'm going

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: to play you something I played at last hour. Here's

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 2: Shri Indiana Jones of Michigan. I am sick of your lives.

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: The American people are sick of this lies.

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: American people demand truth. America is there? Do you think

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: if we add higher voting standards in this country that

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: Sri Indiana Jones would be a member of Congress? Play Chris,

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: you know what? Give me a favorite, Chris grab Hank

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: Johnson Guam tipping over. We haven't played that one in ages.

39
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: It's years and years and years old. I think this

40
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: might be ten years old. The reason I bring it

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: up is Hank Johnson just got done calling America the

42
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: great Satan.

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: We are the world's number one bully, and we're using

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: our immense, unrifled power to rule over those who have

45
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: less power, and we're doing it with impunity. And this

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: sends a shot message to the world that America is

47
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 3: indeed the what did what did they used to call

48
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: it the Great Hand of Satan or something.

49
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: That's the same Hank Johnson back in the day who

50
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: said this, this.

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: Is a island that at its widest level is what

52
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: twelve miles from shore to shore, and at its smallest

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: level or smallest location, it's seven miles between one shore

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: and the other. Is that correct?

55
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't have the exact dimensions, but to your point, sir,

56
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: I think Guam is a small island.

57
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: My fear is that the whole island will become so

59
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.

60
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: We don't anticipate that. Let me ask you an honest question,

61
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: funny as that is, if we had higher voting standards

62
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: in this country, do you think that person would still

63
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: be in Congress making decisions on laws that govern the

64
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: most powerful country on the planet, of course not. Rhodesia

65
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: was the wealthiest country in all of Africa. As I

66
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: mentioned several times already paved roads, wonderful schools, doctors, lawyers,

67
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: great standard of living. You would have thought you were

68
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: in any modern American city. All the rest of Africa,

69
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: not all of it, but most of the rest of

70
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: Africa living in backwards conditions and men and there's this

71
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 2: jewel in Rhodesia. So who got to pick the government

72
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: of Rhodesia. Well, there were changes over time, by the way,

73
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: but in general you had to qualify to vote, and

74
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: contrary to what all the do gooder commis around the

75
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: world said at the time, part of the qualification was

76
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: not the color of your skin, but there were literacy requirements,

77
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: property qualifications, you had to be a subject of the

78
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: British Empire. There were things, and I don't want to

79
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: get too specific, because they changed. You know, pre nineteen

80
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: sixty one they were more strict than Rhodesia. Trying to

81
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: try to roll back some things started to ease those restrictions.

82
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: But you know, on the voting rolls, for instance, in

83
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty one there were ninety five thousand white people

84
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: who were able to vote and there were twenty two

85
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: hundred black apps Fricans who were able to vote. It

86
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: was not barring any skin color, but because the qualifications

87
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: were what they were, because there were standards, a large

88
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: percentage of the white Europeans in Rhodesia could vote and

89
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: a very small percentage of the Black Africans could vote.

90
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: Now that sounds extremely discriminatory, doesn't it. That sounds wrong.

91
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Surely everybody who reaches the age of eighteen should have

92
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: a say in the government, right. And the reason I

93
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: bring this up is it's going to become a central

94
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: theme of our story. Rhodesia didn't see it that way.

95
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: Rhodesia enjoyed its standard of living, enjoyed the kind of

96
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: country it was. But here's a problem, you see, and

97
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: it's a big problem. You've heard of the Labor government,

98
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: the Labor Party, I should say, of Britain. I've told

99
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 2: you before, that's their Democrats, that's their Communist Party. Those

100
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: are the ones who run Britain. Now, that's why they're

101
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: massively importing Muslims from all over the planet to form

102
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: rape gangs, to pillage the British women. The Labor Party,

103
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: well in the nineteen sixties, there are things going on

104
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: globally that are going to essentially doom Rhodesia in the end,

105
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: and one of those things is the Labor Party was

106
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: running things in Britain. Combine that with this, the airfingers

107
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 2: quote civil rights movement globally is really really reaching its peak.

108
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: Now why did I say airfingers quote Because the civil

109
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: rights movement surely was only good, right, and I think

110
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: you would agree with me that, Yeah, it's probably not

111
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: great to have black people eating at different restaurants, and

112
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: that's not a great way to run society. That's not

113
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: a just way to run society. The reason I gave

114
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: the airfingers quote thing on it was, well, remember what

115
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: we talked about last hour. I've spoken before about this

116
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: many times. Let me use the example I've used before

117
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: in Montana in the Rocky Mountains. If you hike through

118
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: the Rocky Mountains in an area full of boulders, you

119
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: will inevitably come across one that looks It looks like

120
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: God pulled out his sword and sliced it in half.

121
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: It's not just broken, it's this clean, smooth break. It's

122
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: odd looking. We're talking about a boulder the size of

123
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: your car sliced in two. Only God didn't use his sword.

124
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: You see, over time that boulder developed a little crack,

125
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: not big, you might not even really see it with

126
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: your eye, a little crack. What happened from there? Water, inevitably,

127
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: maybe it's snow melting, maybe it's rain. Water would get

128
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: in it, and then one night the temperature would drop

129
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: to such a degree that water would freeze. When water

130
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: freezes its spans, when it expanded, pop the rock shattered

131
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: into This is exactly what communists do in every single society.

132
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: They find existing cracks, legitimate cracks, by the way, oftentimes

133
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: legitimate cracks. They find the cracks in your society, They

134
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: get inside of that crack and they try to freeze

135
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: it to shatter the society. And the global communists most definitely,

136
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: the Soviets recognize the civil rights movement, not just in

137
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: America but other places, but the civil rights movement as

138
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: an incredible opportunity for them to shatter the country, and

139
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: they got involved in it. They were very focused about

140
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: being involved in it. They viewed it as an opportunity

141
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: to break America, to break Western civilization. This was going

142
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: on in many different countries in the nineteen sixties. Now

143
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: I already laid out the government of Rhodesia at the time.

144
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: How do you think their government, how do you think

145
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: that's landing with the global civil rights do gooders on

146
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: the planet. Let me spoil it for you. It ain't

147
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 2: landing well and Britain decides they want to do something

148
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 2: about it.

149
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 4: Uh.

150
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Oh, it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent

151
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: magnificent Thursday. Do not forget tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday.

152
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: You need to email your questions. They don't have to

153
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: be political, doesn't matter what it is, history, food, whatever.

154
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: Email them into Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. It is

155
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties. The civil rights movement across the globe

156
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: has been invaded and infected by communists doing the best

157
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: they can to divide Western society. And of course Britain

158
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: has their Communists as well have our Democrats. They have

159
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: their Labor Party, the Labor government in Britain. They don't

160
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: like the look of Rhodesia right now. Yeah, of course

161
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: it's wealthy, it's prosperous, it's clean, it's wonderful. But not

162
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: everyone gets to vote. In fact, not very many Black

163
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: Africans get to vote. Lots of white Europeans get to vote,

164
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: and so they start pushing. Remember at this point, Rhodesia

165
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: is a British colony. I cannot stress that enough. A

166
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: British colony, meaning they are under the British crown. Britain says, uh,

167
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: how about one man, one vote, everyone gets to vote. Well,

168
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: the government, the people of Rhodesia, they understandably said, excuse me,

169
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: look around at Africa. Do you have any idea what's

170
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: going to happen if we allow everybody to have a

171
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: vote with no property requirements and know nothing of it.

172
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: Do you understand what will happen here? The whole place

173
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: will be over all this prosperity. The communists didn't want

174
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: to hear it. One man, one vote, one man, one vote,

175
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: over and over and over and over again. Now Rhodesha

176
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: has to make a choice. And keep in mind that

177
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: I'm really skipping over some boring political negotiations. But Rhodesia's

178
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: government they were trying as hard as they could to

179
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: do whatever they had to do to work with Britain,

180
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: so they didn't have to do well what they're about

181
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: to do, meaning in nineteen sixty one they even changed

182
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 2: how they do the voting. They didn't change it completely,

183
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: but they opened it up a little bit more, kind

184
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: of introduced tiers to it. You could be in the

185
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: A tier. The beat again their work. They're trying to

186
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: massage the situation without giving up their country. Britain did

187
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: not want to hear it. Communists in Britain did not

188
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: want to hear it, and they said, no, you will

189
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: do this, and so Rhodesia they rebelled. There's no other

190
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: way to put it. In nineteen sixty five, rhodesha said, yeah,

191
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: we're not a British colony anymore. Now we're ours, We're Rhodesia,

192
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: we're independent and this is how we're going to run things.

193
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: Now.

194
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: Now pause for a second. You have probably heard of

195
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: the SAS before, the Special Air Service. If you have not,

196
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: you should know that that is the British version of

197
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: the Navy Seals, and in fact they came about really

198
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 2: because of the British fighting in Northern Africa. They were

199
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: the guys parachuting behind enemy lines doing all kinds of

200
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: you know, special operations stuff. They are to this day,

201
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: bad to the bone, bad dudes. The British SAS well.

202
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: Up to this point, remember we're in the sixties Jijia's military.

203
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: They would work hand in hand with Britain's military because

204
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: again it's a British colony, and Rhodesia had an SAS

205
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: as well that trained with the British sas. Super super

206
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: bad dudes. You get what I'm saying. Rhodesia declares independence

207
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty five. Britain is so angry about this,

208
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: they actually consider a military response to the open rebellion

209
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: of the Rhodesian country of the Rhodesian government, and they

210
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: approached the British sas and start talking to them about it.

211
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: The British SAS had such a level of respect for

212
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: the Rhodesians they had trained with and worked with, the

213
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: British government essentially faced a mutiny from within their own

214
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: high level sas. The guys weren't going to go No,

215
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm not You want me to attack Rhodesia. Nah,

216
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: Now you got to do something. If you're the British government, right,

217
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: you can't let open rebellion go, especially these white racists

218
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: in Rhodesia. And again, I want to remind you of

219
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: something I reminded you of last night. Over half of

220
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: the Rhodesian army was black Africans. This is not a

221
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: white versus black thing. How it was sold to the planet.

222
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: Black Africans died with their European brothers in this war.

223
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: Europeans would give their lives to save Black Africans in

224
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: this war. This wasn't some Nazi that's not at all.

225
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: How it was. Yes, there were fewer black voters, no

226
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: question about it. It was not a white versus black thing. Anyway,

227
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: Britain has to do something. So they essentially get the world,

228
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: that really most of the civilized world, to sanction Rhodesia.

229
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: This is a country that is landlocked. Keep in mind

230
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: they have no access to water, anything like that. Britain

231
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: slaps sanctions strict ones on Rhodesia. Now, this would normally

232
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: be about the end of any landlocked country, but Rhodesia,

233
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: to their credit, they had a couple friends and those

234
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: friends happen to be neighbors. We'll talk about those friends

235
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: some combat things in a moment. It is the Jesse

236
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: Kelly Show on a fantastic, fantastic Thursday. Remember to send

237
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: in your ask doctor Jesse questions for tomorrow. Remember you

238
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: can download the show iheard Spotify iTunes. Let's get back

239
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: to the story. Here nineteen sixty five, Rhodesha declares it's independence.

240
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 2: Britain is upset, to put it mildly, they get the

241
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: rest of the world and they themselves slap crippling sanctions

242
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: on Rhodesia, or I should say what should be crippling

243
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: sanctions on Rhodesia. But Rhodesia has a couple of friends.

244
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 2: Now we need to do something that I did with

245
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: you the first night, but we're probably going to do

246
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: this a couple more times because you have to visualize this.

247
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: You don't have to look at a map. You can,

248
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: but I want you to draw a circle in your mind,

249
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 2: or maybe you can draw one if you're a visual person.

250
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: I want you to make this a clock. Okay, so

251
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: it's a clock. Now from twelve o'clock to six o'clock.

252
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: That's obviously half the clock. There is a country known

253
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: as Mozambique, all right, Mozambique. From twelve o'clock over to

254
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: let's call it ten o'clock. There is a country known

255
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: as Zambia. All right. From six o'clock to about eight

256
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: o'clock there is South Africa. Why am I doing this

257
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: slame clock thing? Because it matters so much for our

258
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 2: story South Africa. We will begin there. South Africa and

259
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: Rhodesia are as tight as tight can get. There are

260
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: so many South Africans in Rhodesia. They love each other,

261
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: they work together, they have similar forms of They our best, best,

262
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: best freaking friends. As far as countries go, South Africa

263
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: is a friend. When these sanctions get slapped on Rhodesia,

264
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: South Africa steps up and says, hey, we got you,

265
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: sell us your stuff. We'll continue to trade with each other.

266
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: South Africa also has and this will definitely matter for

267
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: our story. Throughout our story. They have that wonderful, wonderful

268
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: liquid gold known as oil. Keep Rhodesia's well supplied with oil.

269
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: They have a friend. Now, let's go to Mozambique. Remember

270
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: the twelve o'clock to six o'clock, big, big border with Rhodesia.

271
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: They're also friendly because Mozambique at this point, and this

272
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: will change. Spoiler alert, this is going to change. Mozambique

273
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: is run by the Portuguese. All right, the Portuguese Rhodesia.

274
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: They get along. They are still working with each other, trading.

275
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: Zambia the country in the northwest. Forget about them. We

276
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: are going to get to them. They're going to be

277
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: featured here shortly. But Rhodesha has friends. What's the result

278
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: of this, They declare independence. All these sanctions they're supposed

279
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 2: to be bankrupted, Rhodesia's flourishing, flourishing. They went independent and

280
00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: they're getting along really, really well. Now we have to

281
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: go globally again, because this will matter for the rest

282
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: of our story. Communists, it's a religion of destruction and domination.

283
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: As we've talked about so many times before, communism was

284
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 2: never supposed to be about any one country. Communism was

285
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: always designed, always pushed as being a global thing. At

286
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 2: this point in history, the Soviet Union is chernin and burning,

287
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: China chernin and burning. These are communist countries and they

288
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 2: are very very interested in spreading their communism globally. And

289
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: they are then, just as they are now, very very

290
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: interested in the continent of Africa. Africa is gigantic, it

291
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: is strategically located. They have all kinds of resources that

292
00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: every country wants. The communist nations on the planet want Africa,

293
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: and they want all of it. And they recognize there's

294
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: an opportunity here. We have this country called Rhodesia. Britain

295
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: has cut them off. And there's a crack, isn't there.

296
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: We're ready to discuss that crack. There are all kinds

297
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: of little villages and African reservations, essentially in Rhodesia, some

298
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: black Africans who have not had a standard of living

299
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: equal to the white Europeans. There's enough of a crack

300
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 2: there that can be exploited. And now terrorism starts. Terrorism

301
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: mainly from Zambia. Zambia. Remember it's that twelve o'clock to

302
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: ten o'clock the northwestern border, that's Zambia. The Soviets and

303
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: the Chinese both form groups African communists, African nationalists, whatever

304
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 2: word you want to put on it, African groups. And

305
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: they decide they're going to have a go at conquering Rhodesia.

306
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: And they weren't even that subtle about it. The Soviets

307
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: freaking gave them tanks. They would send advisors, Chinese advisors,

308
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: Soviet advisors. How involved are the Soviets in Chinese and

309
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: this will matter for the rest of our story. They

310
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: would take African leaders and they would ship them to

311
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: places like the Soviet Union, like China, like East Germany,

312
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: and they would ship them there for training. And I

313
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: mean in depth training, not just weapons training, not just

314
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: battle tactics. I'm talking about insurgency tactics, communist tactics. How

315
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: do you infect a place? How do you infiltrate a place?

316
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: How do you destroy a place? Training camps for the

317
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 2: Africans put on by the Soviets and the Chinese, and

318
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: the poor Rhodesians don't even understand what is about to

319
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: come their way, but they do. The night a white

320
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: farmer nineteen sixty six, a white farmer and his wife,

321
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 2: they are ambushed and slaughtered on their farm. I need

322
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 2: to set up something here. I already mentioned. Rhodesia is

323
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 2: a huge country. I mentioned that last night, not so

324
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: much to night. This is a very very big place.

325
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: It's not a small country. And they of course have

326
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: these cities, these urban areas, but as I've said, farming, agriculture.

327
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: It's such a wonderful land for that. It's just made

328
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: for that. It was a huge part of their economy,

329
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: huge part of what they did. And there were these

330
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: huge farms that the Europeans ran and owned, and they

331
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: had of course Africans working on their Black Africans working

332
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: with them things like that. But these farms, as you

333
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: can imagine, you can't put a farm in the middle

334
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: of the city. They are rural, rural farm. They're out there,

335
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: they're in the hinterlands. They're not right next to the

336
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: cop shop. This creates a security nightmare for Rhodesian farmers.

337
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: There will come a day we're not there yet in

338
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: our story where farmers will have twelve foot high security

339
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: fences all around their homes because they were worried their

340
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: kids couldn't go to the yard without a bunch of

341
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: gorillas chopping them up with machetes. That's how dangerous this

342
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: situation is. But they don't know this yet, right because

343
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: the terror hasn't started. Well, the terror just began nineteen

344
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: sixty six, white farmer and his wife butchered, butchered, and

345
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: the Communists in Africa, in the Soviet Union in China,

346
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 2: they want the terror to increase, and they found I

347
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: was about to say an unlikely ally, but anyone even

348
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 2: vaguely familiar with our political situation in the United States

349
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 2: of America will understand it's the most likely ally in

350
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: the world, wouldn't you know it. Young college girls started

351
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: to help the international communists smuggle in weapons they could

352
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: use to commit acts of terror. As I have said

353
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: many times, there is no more vicious, violent communist on

354
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: the planet than the liberal white woman. It's just a fact.

355
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 2: So we will continue with all this in a moment.

356
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday.

357
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: Getting ready to move into Ask doctor Jesse Friday. Get

358
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: your questions emailed into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

359
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: Back to our story of the Rhodesian Bush War, terrorist

360
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: attacks have begun. Russia has their own group of African

361
00:25:54,280 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: nationalists communists. China has their group of African nationalists communists.

362
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: They are receiving training now again. I that's not that

363
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm apologizing, but I'm just gonna drop more details on

364
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: you because the details are actually necessary. Most of the time,

365
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: details kill a story. But you have to understand this,

366
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: two different groups of African nationalists communists.

367
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: Okay, there is Zapu. I'm not gonna go into what

368
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 2: it stands for. That's a detail, doesn't matter. Zapoo backed

369
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: by the Soviets. Then there's Zanu backed by the Chinese.

370
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Don't worry about making sure you know who's back by

371
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: who Zapu backed by the Soviets, Zanu backed by the Chinese.

372
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: These organizations, as I said, are being trained by the

373
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: Soviets in the Chinese in infiltration tactics. Rhodesia is not

374
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: fully aware of it yet, but war has already been

375
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: declared on them by the Soviets in the Chinese who

376
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: want to make Rhodesia a communist country, and they start

377
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: by sending rebels over the border. In fact, let me

378
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 2: give you a summary of how this war is going

379
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: to go. Not to spoil the ending, but you probably

380
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: get it by now. Let me give you a summary

381
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: of how this war is going to go. There aren't

382
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: that many white Europeans in Rhodesia, right, two hundred thousand,

383
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: give or take two hundred thousand of them. It's not

384
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: that big of a military. Twenty thousand again, give or take.

385
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 2: It's going to depend on the time period twenty thousand.

386
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: In the military, the Communists are going to start setting

387
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: up shop in the countries around Rhodesia, and they're going

388
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: to start making incursions into the country. The military is

389
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: going to fly out and kill this incursion and kill

390
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: that incursion. They find ten guys here and twenty guys

391
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: there and they find this, and they find that. But

392
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: over time, as the world retreats on poor Rhodesia, the

393
00:27:53,680 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: incursions increase in volume, increase in frequency. You understand, this

394
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: is the very beginning of it. We're in like nineteen

395
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: sixty six here. What's happening now is the Rhodesian military,

396
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: which is elite, absolutely elite. There are a few different

397
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: elements to the military. I want to mention right now.

398
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: They have an air force. Remember when I said South

399
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: Africa and Rhodesia are super tight. About half of the

400
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: Rhodesian air force is actually South African, South African pilots,

401
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: South African planes. That's how tight they are. That will

402
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: matter later on. So there's an air force. They have

403
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: the Rhodesian Light Infantry. Again, I want to stress over

404
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: half of the Rhodesian Light Infantry were Black Africans. This

405
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: is not a white versus black war. The Rhodesian Light

406
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: Infantry amazing troops, amazing troops again, outdoor people, rugged people,

407
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: mandatory military service. They were amazing troops. And then there

408
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: were actually two different kind of special operations forces special

409
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: Green Berets, baby seals. Okay, there were the Rhodesian sas

410
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: I already mentioned them earlier. Bad dudes. And then there

411
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: is another group super super cool called the Sellus Scouts

412
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: or Seleuse Scouts. I've heard it pronounced a thousand different

413
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: ways as I was doing my research for the show.

414
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: These are all excellent units, top tier units. They are

415
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: having no problem hunting down and wiping out these rebels

416
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: right now because there simply aren't enough of them. You

417
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: should know, the first group of rebels who came across

418
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: the border was not a big group, got hunted down

419
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: and annihilated almost immediately. They get located, hunted down, annihilated.

420
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: The air force is used, helicopters are used to they

421
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: have to stay mobile because there aren't enough of them

422
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: to just be stationed all over the country. They have

423
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: to put them in various spots and then be ready

424
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: to hop on a plane, hop on a helicopter, and

425
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: get where you're going. The use of Paris and helicopters

426
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: is something that will last throughout this war. All right,

427
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: group comes in, gets wiped out, group comes in, gets

428
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: wiped out. The Communists, though they're starting to get smarter

429
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: as they fail what they had initially tried to do

430
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: was as I mentioned, terrorist tactics. Hey, let's butcher a

431
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: farmer in the family. Let's throw a let's throw a

432
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: bomb in an ice cream shop. Let's just basic what

433
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: you would kind of recognize today as more Jihati terror tactics.

434
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: But the Rhodesian military, the Rhodesian Intelligence service was so good.

435
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: These tactics weren't working that great. They wanted the commis

436
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: needed more power, and so they started to do something.

437
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: They started to set up secret camps inside of the country,

438
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: inside Rhodesia. Remember, it's a huge place, so you don't

439
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: just send in ten idiots from Zambia. You try to

440
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: set up camps inside. Now, we were about to get

441
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: to a point where it's going to get very difficult

442
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: on the Rhodesians. But they're definitely winning right now. And

443
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: a huge part of why they're winning is these Kami

444
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: terrorists are coming from Zambia, virtually all of them from Zambia,

445
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: because Zambia is the one that's not a friend. Well,

446
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: the border between Zambia and Rhodesia is a big river.

447
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: Rivers help provide security because they're hard to cross. They're

448
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: hard to cross unknown, that's for sure. The Rhodesians understand.

449
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: If they simply keep this river monitored, keep your patrols

450
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: up there, you should be able to locate and snuff

451
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: out all the Kami terrorists, either as they're coming or

452
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 2: shortly after they come. You hunt them down, you snuff

453
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: them out. And I mentioned earlier the sell Us Scouts

454
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: Seleuse Scouts. I'm just gonna call the Sellus Scouts. I

455
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: went to community college. They did so much cool stuff.

456
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: One of the things they were so good at the

457
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: SAS two. But it was tracking. It's wild when you

458
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: read the books how these guys would track. They'd be

459
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: out there in the bush and they'd come across sign

460
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: that terrorist groups had come, and they would just start

461
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: hunting them like they were animals, for a day, two days,

462
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: three days, following the tracks like like bloodhounds, and then

463
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: they'd finally find them. You make a phone call, you

464
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: bring in the troops. You kill them all. You find them,

465
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: make a phone call, bring in the troops, kill them all.

466
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: And I know we're about to be done with our story.

467
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to get back to politics. Sometimes wounded terrorists

468
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: trying to get back to Zambia would be eaten by

469
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: crocodiles in the rivers. One guy I read a story

470
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: about he was wounded, got hunted down by a lion

471
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: the wild, wild. What's happening? But tomorrow something will happen

472
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: that will spell eventually disaster for the Rhodesians. That's gonna

473
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: have to wait till tomorrow or wait Monday, Chris, Monday,

474
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: not Tuesday. No, we're not making them wait till tuesday.

475
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: That's not right. No, No, tomorrow or Monday. We'll do

476
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: it Monday, all right. Our story continues on Monday. Back

477
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,200
