1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse 2 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on 3 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: a magnificent Tuesday. I don't know how it could possibly 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: get any better. People with the Department of Education are 5 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: getting fired. This is amazing. And the reporting is not 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: only have they shut the building down, they've begun laying 7 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: off half the employees. So that's all right. Now we'll 8 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,319 Speaker 1: get to hopefully an update, a good a very good 9 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: update on the Ukraine stuff, some emails and things this hour. 10 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: But well, last night I started something and I need 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: to continue it now. Maybe you missed last night show. 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that's the case, but if you did 13 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: miss last night's show, at the start of the second hour, 14 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: I did Medal of Honor Monday, and then I started 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: into part one of telling a little history about the 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Crimean War. I am not going to recap it for 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: you here because it took like forty five minutes to 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: get through everything I went through last night, So in 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: order to catch you up in about thirty seconds to 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: a minute, here's what it is. It's the mid eighteen hundreds. 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: Russia is an autocratic empire. France and Britain hate each other, 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: but they decide to join forces and fight alongside Turkey 23 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: to keep Russia from taking over Key parts of Turkey period. 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: That's where we are, and the reason I'm telling this 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: story in part is because this exact area, this exact 26 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: area is what everybody is fighting over today. In case 27 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: you thought there was anything new under the sun, and 28 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: the British slash French plan was form up a fleet 29 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: with an army sail through the Dardenells. If you don't 30 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: know what the Dardennills are, you need to go look 31 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: them up. Just look up Istanbul and then look just 32 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: southwest of that. You'll see this strip of water. It's 33 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: a strip of water that connects the Black Sea to 34 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: the open Ocean. The plan is for the Brits and 35 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: the French to sail through that and sail up to 36 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: a place still known as Sevastopol. You can look Sevastopol 37 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: up on a map the Black Sea. Think of it 38 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: like a circle. At the top of it, there's this 39 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: big chunk of land Crimea, and there's a city there, Sevastopol. 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Why do the Brits in the French want to sail 41 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to this Russian held place Their intention is to completely 42 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: destroy the Russian port, so the Russians no longer have 43 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: a warm water fleet of any kind. The goal is destruction. Period. 44 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: Now you're all caught up, up and off they sail. 45 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: They sail down that way, they beach somewhere short of Sevastopol. 46 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: What is the purpose of all this? Why would they 47 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: stop early? They weren't quite sure what the Russian army 48 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: was going to do yet are they gonna Are they 49 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: going to cross the Danube? What are they gonna do? 50 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: The Russians see this and they kind of back off. 51 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: But during this time the Brits get introduced to something that, look, 52 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: the whole world knows about now, but many times throughout 53 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: history is neglected, the boring, boring thing called logistics. You see, 54 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things, many things we do 55 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: not fully appreciate as Americans. Not because we're ugly Americans 56 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: are stupid or ungrateful any of those things. There are 57 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: things I don't appreciate fully as an American because being 58 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: an American is all I've ever known. I've only ever 59 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: known America, and yes I've traveled other places, but the 60 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: way America does things has hardly ever talked about here. 61 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Want you want the least sexy, to put it mildly, 62 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: the least sexy aspect of combat that is really really 63 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: really really really important, like majorly important. What do you 64 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: do with all the waste? The human waste? Probably not 65 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: something that occurred to you, was it. You know, you 66 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: can watch a hundred movies Platoon and Braveheart and The Gladigator, 67 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: and that's never addressed at all. That's weird. You could 68 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: even read a hundred books on this war, that war, 69 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: that battle, and rarely will you get an author to 70 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: sit and discuss at any length what to do with 71 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: human waste. Yet that is something. As soon as you 72 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: you get into a situation where that is not done, 73 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: you will realize quickly you get a bunch of men 74 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: in one area without a solid plan to remove the 75 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: waste that comes out of them. Sickness, disease is coming, 76 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: and it is coming very very quickly. There has to 77 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: be a plan for that. I'll tell you another not 78 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: sexy part of war, and this is remember this is 79 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: just before the Civil War. So these are the kind 80 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: of weapons we're talking about, Muskets and cannons and things 81 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: like that. Everyone wants to talk about bayonets and we're 82 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: going to get to bayonets today. Is really cool. Everyone's 83 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: to talking about bayonets and muskets and cannons. Yeah, well 84 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: that's the sexy stuff. How's your medical team? This is 85 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: one of the things that really separated France in Britain 86 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: at the time. France had been fighting already for a 87 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: couple decades, Britain had not been. France had top notch 88 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: medical people, top notch medical people, top notch ambulance systems 89 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: for their troops in the field. This guy's wounded, we 90 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: can save him, Get him on the ambulance, get him 91 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: this place. He needs soap and water, clean sheets. Britain 92 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: none of that. It was just like they were completely lost. 93 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: All They showed up with plenty of guns, plenty of troops, 94 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: plenty of cannons, plenty of bravery. They acquitted themselves very 95 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: well in this war, logistically not so much. They get 96 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: to this area where the Russians aren't even and they 97 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: have this massive camp set up and cholera comes in, terrible, 98 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: terrible disease. Soon without a shot fired, they're losing a 99 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: sixth of their men before a shot has even been fired. 100 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: That is the beginning of the horrible, long disaster that 101 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: is the Crimean War. Now we'll fast forward through that. Eventually, 102 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: they figure, okay, enough of this, it's time to get 103 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: back on the boats, and it's time to sail towards Sevastopol. 104 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: British Army, French army. They sail into the Black Sea 105 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: and they sail towards Sevastopol. Here's a funny little historical 106 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: tidbit for you. I read and I cracked up when 107 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: I read it. It's just so funny. How wild sometimes 108 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: are the invading fleet that intended to take down Sevastopol. 109 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: And remember the Russians in Sevastopol know that that's what 110 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: the fleet is coming to do. They were sailing towards it. 111 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: They couldn't land there, that this isn't a good place 112 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: for a big army to land there by it. But 113 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: they did sail by Sevastopol. The Russian troops on the 114 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: fort and the British and French troops on the boats 115 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: were saluting each other on the way. By just a 116 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: totally different era, right hey, salute you. Wow the army, 117 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: this big army. They sail, They land a little ways 118 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: away and they begin to march towards Sevastopol. Now at 119 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: this point, the French, they are better troops than the British. 120 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: They just are because of experience. There's no substitute for 121 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 1: experience when it comes to combat. Like I've said many times, 122 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: the French had been fighting, the Brits had not been. 123 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: And there's another part of this that is going to 124 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: come into play time and time again in the story here. 125 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: The French and the British hate each other. They just 126 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: freaking hate each other. Historically, if you know anything about 127 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: that continent, they have been at each other's throats at 128 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: various times throughout history, really since the history of both 129 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: of them. They're just two countries that don't get along. 130 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: The French and the English are always fighting. Now they've 131 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: joined forces now, but they're always fighting. And during its conflict. 132 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: I mentioned it yesterday. I didn't actually mention his name, 133 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: but I mentioned yesterday. Ragland is his name, in case 134 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: you're interested. But the big Cheese for the British Army. 135 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: He happens to be missing an arm, his right arm, 136 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: if I remember right, he's missing an arm. Weird, how 137 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: did you lose that arm? Mister Ragland? He lost that 138 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: arm fighting the French at Waterloo. That's how deep the 139 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: hatred runs here with each other. They land and it 140 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: is time to launch their first attack on the Russians, 141 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: and they are in a bad, bad spot right off 142 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: the bat you see there down below, the Russians are 143 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: kind of on top on this ridge line. So they 144 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: have to figure out what they're going to do about that. 145 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: And the plan is this, Let's have the French scale 146 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: the cliffs and flank the Russians. So the Brits will 147 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: charge up the hill, the French will flank and they'll 148 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: tear the Russians up. This all works out, and they 149 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: have a terrible, terrible battle with muskets and bayonets and 150 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: cannons and all kinds of people die. But eventually the 151 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: Russians are forced to flee the field and they're decimated. 152 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: And now the road to Sevastopol is wide open in 153 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: front of the French and the British. They can go 154 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: do what they wanted to do. Ew But let's talk 155 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: about that next Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly 156 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: Show on a Wonderful Tuesday.

They 163 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: fight against this Russian army right outside of Sevastopol, and 164 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: they devastate the Russian army and now laid bear in 165 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: front of them is the undefended city of Sevastopol, the 166 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: city they sailed pretty much across all the way around 167 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: Europe to get to and into the Black Sea. They 168 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: just fought a brutal battle with bayonets, muskets and cannons. 169 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: They defeated the Russian army and there is the city 170 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: waiting for them. And then then it's hard to explain 171 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: how disastros this decision turned out to be for so 172 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: many people. The Allies, I'm just going to refer to 173 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: them as the Allies, the British and the French. They 174 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: decide they're not going to march into Sevastopol. They decide 175 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: they're going to march around it so they can attack 176 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: it from the opposite side once they get back to 177 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: the coast and hang out near their ships. This is 178 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: not a decision that is celebrated amongst the elites, the 179 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: generals in the British Army. The Big Cheese wants to 180 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: do it. The others are screaming at him because and 181 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: remember you can look at pictures of this. There are pictures, 182 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: not a bunch and not great ones, but there are 183 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: pictures of the Crimean War. The generals in the British 184 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: Army are screaming at their commander, Sir, look at them. 185 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the town. There are no defenses, there 186 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: are no troops. We could walk into the town now, 187 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Sir please, it's empty, The streets are empty. It's nothing 188 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: but a bunch of frantic civilians. Sir, please march in now. 189 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: But he will not do it, and his defense was, no, 190 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to start any kind of an attack 191 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: unless I have my boats, which are where all my 192 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: supplies are right behind me. So I don't want to 193 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: attack from the north. I will only attack from the south. 194 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: He marches around Sebastapol instead of going in. Then then 195 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: he waits. Then he waits while the big guns are 196 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: brought up while everything is dug in, And what do 197 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: you think the Russians are doing during all this waiting. 198 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: They're digging defenses, they're bringing in guns. The Russian navy 199 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: at this point in time knew they couldn't hang with 200 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: the British Navy and the French navy. The French navy 201 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: was there too. The Russian navy. You know what they did. 202 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: They sunk themselves. They sunk themselves in strategic places around 203 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: the area to prevent British and French ships from getting 204 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: into places. And then the sailors on these Russian ships 205 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: took over the defense of Sevastopol. The delay in taking 206 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: back Sevastopol probably cost a million lives, one of those 207 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: strategic decisions in the history of warfare that probably cost 208 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: a million lives. And if you were the commander, one 209 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: of the guys who made that call, if you have 210 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: any conscience at all, you probably went to bed many 211 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: many nights for the rest of your life, dwelling on 212 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: the fact that you cost a lot of people their lives. Anyway, 213 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: so they dig in, the trenches start digging in on 214 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: both sides. The Crimean war was actually studied, not only 215 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: by the guys who fought the Civil War. About ten 216 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: years after this, it was studied by guys who fought 217 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: World War One. Why because trench warfare has finally decided 218 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: to visit us. Pause, let's deci us. Why Remember how 219 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: many times BKA has come on here and talked about 220 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine and we were talking about what 221 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: are the advances, what's changed in warfare versus what we know? 222 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: And what is the thing? BK cameras on over and 223 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again. He's not 224 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: the only one. Every super spook military guy I know 225 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: speaks like this. Drones, drones, drone technology has just changed warfare. 226 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: It is a new offensive weapon that has changed warfare. 227 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: With one cheap little drone and a little explosive, you 228 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: can take out a tank. Now what can you do 229 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: with an advanced drone? What about a drone that flies 230 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: two hundred miles an hour? What if you had a 231 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: drone drone swarm of a thousand of them with explosives 232 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: on them that travel to hundred Now you've seen what 233 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: it can be. There is now an offensive weapon. Do 234 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: you don't want to know why the Russian lines in 235 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: Ukrainian lines rarely move in the current war Russia Ukraine 236 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: because there is not, as of right now, an effective 237 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: counter to the offensive weapon. And when there's not an 238 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: effective counter to an offensive weapon, what do you do? 239 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: Human beings always do it. You saw it in World 240 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: War One and now you see it in the Crimean War. 241 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: If there's a weapon you cannot counter, you dig down, 242 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: because digging a hole a trench is the only chance 243 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: you have to stay alive. If you don't have any 244 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: way to counter a drone, all you can do is 245 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: dig a trench, get something over your head that will 246 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: prevent it from seeing you, and pray when that buzzing 247 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: sound comes that it buzzes right by you. Well, here 248 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: in the Crimean War, there are advancements in warfare that 249 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: won't sound that don't sound huge to us now because 250 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: of how far removed we are from this conflict. But 251 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: if you actually think about it, they get a lot more, 252 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: a lot more ugly, and trench warfare becomes a lot 253 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 1: more understandable. We'll continue that at least one more segment 254 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: of this in a moment. Hang on, catchup Jesse kellyshow 255 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: dot com. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a 256 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: wonderful Tuesday. We'll get to the Ukraine stuff, the USA 257 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: stuff here in a minute. I'm gonna wrap up part 258 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: two of the Crimean War. Here. I already said where 259 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: we are in the story. They defeated the Russian army. 260 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: They could have walked into Sevastopol, they chose not to. Instead, 261 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: they delayed, They walked around the city. Now the Russian trenches, 262 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: trenches are getting deeper, the British trenches are getting deeper, 263 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the French trenches are getting deeper, Fortifications getting thicker, big 264 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: guns being brought up, reinforcements brought in. It all at 265 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: all is pretty much a horrible situation. And oh did 266 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: I mention the British and French hate each other. Yeah, 267 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: they hardly communicate even though they're fighting on the same side. 268 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: In fact, there are two lines, there are two camps, 269 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: if you will. They're in separate areas. The French areas 270 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: over here, the British areas over here. So they're working 271 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: together but not really working together. It's a big old 272 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: freaking mess. Now now comes one of one of the parts. Well, actually, 273 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: there's a couple parts of this story that I should 274 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: drop in on you here, so I think it might 275 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: maybe help you make a connection with something. What's the 276 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: name of the most famous nurse you can think of historically, anybody, 277 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: famous nurse anything. Florence Nightingale. She's on most people's lists, 278 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: Florence Nightingale. Did Corey guess right? 279 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: Oh? 280 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: Chris guests right, yeah, right? Anyway, Florence Nightingale. Why do 281 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: we know that name? Because Florence Nightingale was British and 282 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: Florence Nightingale began to get the reports back at home 283 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: of how disgusting and horrible the medical conditions were, and 284 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: so she stepped in here, which we'll get to that 285 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: in a little bit. Another name you probably know, or 286 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: at least the name of a book. Ever heard of 287 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: the book? Warren Piece? Ed? Chris rolled his eyes. Everyone's 288 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: heard of Warren Piece? Who wrote that book? Tolstoy? Where 289 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: would Tolstoy ever learn about Warren Peace? Tolstoy was a 290 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Russian in Sevastopol during all this, That's where Tolstoy learned 291 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: all that. So there's a couple of little Crimean war tidbits. Anyway, 292 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: Now time for probably the most famous moment of this 293 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: entire war. The Russians, they decide they're not going to 294 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: sit inside of the city forever. They want to go 295 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: out and they want to bust up the British lines 296 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: and maybe steal some of their guns. So they counterattack. 297 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: They try to cut through the British lines. They do 298 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: successfully run off a lot of the Turks. The Turks 299 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: actually put up a very heroic defense here, but it's 300 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: a fading empire. They didn't have the people for it, 301 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: and the Russians do start stealing some of the guns. 302 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: Now comes a moment of an all time miscommunication moment 303 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: that turned out to be horrific slash heroic. I guess 304 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: it depends on whether or not you're one of the 305 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: people who got hit by a cannon ball. The British 306 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: had this elite unit known as the Light Brigade. The 307 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: Light Brigade is what they were known as. It was 308 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: a cavalry unit. They're all on horseback talking straight up 309 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: old school sabers and the works, the Big Cheese, and 310 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: the Light Brigade gets a note that says, hey, gosh, 311 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: go get those guns. I'm paraphrasing, but that's what it says. Now. 312 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: The note was not referencing the gigantic rush line of 313 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: cannon that were aimed at the light brigade. At the moment, 314 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: the note was not saying charge the cannon line. The 315 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: note was in reference to the guns over the hill 316 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: that the Russians were currently stealing. Hey, Light Brigade, ride 317 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: your horses down there and stop them from stealing the guns. 318 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: That's what the note was meant to say. But when 319 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: you paraphrase things, things can be misinterpreted. The head of 320 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: the light brigade interpreted this note as an order for 321 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: him to form up his six hundred about six hundred 322 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: and thirty two, if I remember right, six hundred and 323 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: thirty two members of the light brigade against a wall 324 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: of Russian cannon and charge. Now I mentioned the advances 325 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: in warfare, and I delayed mentioning it until now. Canon 326 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: is not new. Napoleon used cannon. Cannons weren't new, but 327 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: cannons had advanced in such a significant way. In fact, 328 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: one of the parts of this battle of this war 329 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: I didn't even go into, was at the very beginning 330 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: of it, the Russian navy incinerated a huge portion of 331 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: the Turkish navy because they had something the Turks hadn't 332 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: seen exploding cannon balls. You may think that's just something 333 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: that always happened. Everyone's cannon balls exploded. No, no, no, no, no, no, 334 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: lots of times. It was just a solid metal ball. 335 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: But technology being what it is, guns, heavy guns, cannons, mortars, 336 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: they had advanced past what normal people were used to 337 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: facing on the battlefield. I actually personally witnessed when I 338 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: was in France. I witnessed a piece of armor. You 339 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: can go look it up to this day. If you 340 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: like it's fascinating, you look it up online. If you're 341 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: not traveling where one of Napoleon's guys. He was wearing 342 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: an all metal I forget what it was, copper maybe 343 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was, an all metal breastplate, 344 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: an all metal breastplate, and you can see there's a 345 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: gigantic cannon ball hole through it where he obviously died 346 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: pretty much instantly. A cannon ball hit him in the breastplate, 347 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: went right through it, and it's on display to the state. 348 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: It's famous. The guy was hey wrote, charged dead. So 349 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: that's how cannon balls used to operate in this era. 350 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: They do more devastating things and the six hundred men 351 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: of the Light Brigade pulled out their sabers like warriors 352 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: and did as they were told and charged a line 353 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: of cannon Like I said. You can call it stupidity, 354 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: you can call it heroism. I don't know what you 355 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: want to call it, but I know if you're on 356 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: a horse with a saber in your hand, charging a 357 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: line of cannon, you are made of tougher stuff than 358 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 1: I am. Brits certainly don't have anything to be ashamed of. 359 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: It's a famous, famous charge for a reason. The Russians 360 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 1: were obviously a bit taken aback by these psychos charging 361 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: them on a horse, started firing away and blowing them away. 362 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: The Brits managed to get clear into the Russian lines, 363 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: where they started hacking off Russian heads and arms. I 364 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: told you, this thing gets real, real ugly. I haven't 365 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: even gotten to some of the worst of it yet. 366 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: They then blow through the Russian gun line and head 367 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: back towards the Russian cavalry and start fighting with them. 368 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: Soon they're very clearly overmatched and they're about to be annihilated. 369 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: The French recognize this charge in and the Light Brigade 370 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: has to charge back through the Russian lines of cannon 371 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: they had just fought through initially, and they are butchered 372 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: during this entire process. Brave, ridiculously brave, yes, but still butchery. Nonetheless, 373 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: by the end of the day, six hundred and thirty 374 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: men charged the light brigade had depending on which accounting 375 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: you read, about two hundred and fifty men left. Now, 376 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: the charge was not all for not. I don't want 377 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: to act like it was. Yes, there are Brits dead, wounded, 378 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: taken prisoner. It was an ugly, ugly affair. But that 379 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: level of fanatical bravery, at least in the eyes of 380 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: the Russians, did impact the Russians to such a degree 381 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: that they never again marched their cavalry out for a 382 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: battle with the Brits. They thought to themselves, these guys 383 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: are nutballs, and they're pretty good on a horse. I 384 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: think we'll just go ahead and stay back with the 385 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: cavalry inside the city. And that brings us to tomorrow, 386 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: meaning I will get to it tomorrow, and I will 387 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: finish it tomorrow. Start of the second hour, I'll finish 388 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: it tomorrow. And yeah, it definitely involves troops emerging through 389 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: the fog fifteen feet away with bayonets attached that kind 390 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, crime in war, underrated war. All right, 391 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: let's talk about Ukraine, usaid, get to emails, let's get 392 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: to other things.

Now this happened earlier today, This 416 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: is music to my years. 417 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: Today we've made an offer that the Duke. 418 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: Is Secretary of State Marco Rubial. 419 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: Today we've made an offer that the Ukrainians have accepted, 420 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: which is to enter into a ceasefire and into immediate 421 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: negotiations to end this conflict in a way that's enduring 422 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: and sustainable and accounts for their interests, their security, their 423 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: ability to prosper as a nation. Now, hopefully we'll take 424 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: this offer and out of the Russians, and we hope 425 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. 426 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 2: The ball is now in their court. But again, the 427 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: President's objective here is number one above everything else. He 428 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 2: wants the war to end. And I think today Ukraine 429 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope 430 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: the Russians will reciprocate. 431 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,239 Speaker 1: Now, this is a wonderful thing, so we should celebrate that, 432 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: celebrate when wonderful things happen. Right, things are far from over. 433 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: How many times have you seen a conflict followed a 434 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: conflict and you saw there was a ceasefire and then 435 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: the ceasefire gets broken. And we've talked about this before. 436 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: I just want to talk about it again. Why would 437 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: Russia reject it? Well, here's an example. Actually, this is 438 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: a perfect example. Remember when Ukraine they pushed into Russia. 439 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: It was a counter offensive. It's a common move in 440 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: war when you're being invaded, you invade them to try 441 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: to get their guys to pull back. They feel like 442 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: they have to play defense. So Ukraine did that with Russia. 443 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: And then we've gotten word recently, and you never know 444 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: exactly what the total truth is on the ground, So 445 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: take this with a grain of salt. But I've seen 446 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: it from several reliable sources that the Ukraine offensive not 447 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: only is really it's not moving forward anymore, but the 448 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: Russians are cutting them off from the rest of Ukraine. 449 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: Now that is disaster. If you are a unit and 450 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: you are completely surrounded by another unit, especially especially in 451 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: an artis hillary war, You're just gonna get pounded to mincemeat. 452 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna surround you, they're going to line up their guns, 453 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: point them all to the inner part of the circle, 454 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: and you're all going to die, or you have to surrender, 455 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: which surrendering to the Russians when you're Ukrainian probably doesn't 456 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: end all that well. Anyway, the Russians aren't historically the 457 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: people you generally want to surrender to. Okay, so why 458 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: would this ceasefire fail? Well, again, I don't know that 459 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: it will. I hope it will succeed. What if you're Russia, 460 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: What if you have a couple divisions of Ukrainians you 461 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: just finally cut them off, or you're about to cut 462 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: them off, and you're about to annihilate a significant chunk 463 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: of the enemy force. Now Trump brings this ceasefire agreement 464 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: to you, even if you want the war to end, 465 00:30:54,440 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: if you're Russia, do you accept that ceasefire? It's a 466 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: thirty day ceasefire. What happens to the surrounded Ukrainian troops 467 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: if you just if you agree to a thirty day ceasefire, well, 468 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: they're going to use that thirty days to find a 469 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: way to scurry back home. And what happens at the 470 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: end of the thirty day ceasefire If an agreement isn't reached, 471 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: then you've just allowed two divisions of your enemy to 472 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: escape back home and they're not in the mousetrap for 473 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: you to annihilate anymore. That was one example of I 474 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: just wanted. I wanted to let you know that this 475 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: journey has all kinds of danger in it, but the 476 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: journey doesn't start without what happened today. Today the word 477 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: is Ukraine. Zelensky sent a letter of apology to Donald 478 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: Trump for what happened in the White House, and he 479 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: should have that was a no brainer move. Should have apologized. 480 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: He did that apparently got the ball rolling forward again. 481 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: Apparently Zelenski got ahold of all his new best friends 482 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: in Europe who've been running their mouths a lot about 483 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: we've got your back, we'll always protect you. And apparently 484 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: apparently the rubber didn't kind of meet the road with Europe. 485 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: They made a lot of noise, it sounded really great, 486 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: but the troops, the money, the planes that didn't end 487 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: up showing up. So Ukraine felt like they had no 488 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: other choice. Let's sign a ceasefire. Let's try to get 489 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,239 Speaker 1: out of this deal. Let's hope the Russians and who 490 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: can ever trust the freaking Russians, But let's hope the 491 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: Russians decide they've got what they want. A good deal 492 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: for them is on the table. Let's hope they agreed 493 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: to a ceasefire, which means men stop dying, which is 494 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: the ultimate goal should be. And then people have to 495 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: sit down at the table and figure out who gets what. 496 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: And when I say figure out who gets what, let's 497 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: be honest to figure out how much of the territory 498 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: Russian took we're going to allow them to keep. And 499 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: being as how possession is nine tenths of the law, 500 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: as the saying goes, Russia is gonna feel entitled to 501 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: keep most of it. And you know what's wild is 502 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,719 Speaker 1: that history story I just told you. It's all this area. 503 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: That's why I chose to do the Crimean war. It's 504 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: all this area. And you know what else is wild? 505 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: Ukraine was ready to sign a peace deal in twenty 506 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: twenty two, and guess who stopped it? The prints the 507 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: printz once again, the Pritz just can't see im to 508 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: stay out of here. Boris Johnson and the Prince stepped 509 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: in and said, no fight on at all cost. Charge 510 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: that charge that cannon line anyway. But that's what's going 511 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: on now. And no matter who you are, what you're 512 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: rooting for, it is a good thing. One and a 513 00:33:53,840 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: half million men dead. That surpasses all of the people 514 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: we've lost in every war we've ever fought as a country, 515 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: from the beginning to right now. One and a half 516 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: million men dead. That is so insanely sad. And this 517 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: part of the country, man, Look, we just told you 518 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: a story from the eighteen fifties. Here we are in 519 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and men are still dying in droves 520 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: in this area. Man, those if those fields could talk, right, 521 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: if that area could talk, how much blood has been 522 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: soaked into that horrible, horrible soil over there. Remember it's 523 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: Stalin's starvation, the Helloa more. It's just how much suffering 524 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: and pain can one region go through? I don't I 525 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: don't know. Remember I've said before that I really think 526 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: countries like Haiti or Cursed You had a successful slave 527 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: rebellion and things are like worse now than they were before. 528 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: It's just a horrible place. Maybe this area is cursed too, 529 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. But anyway, that's a good thing. Let's 530 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: talk about USA.
